Israel to test more robust anti-missile system
Israel's military is ready to test a complete, long-range ballistic missile defense system to demonstrate that it can reach farther and higher to destroy improved enemy designs.
Moreover, the modifications to be demonstrated will allow additional improvements such as the ability to search more of the electromagnetic spectrum for elusive, high-speed missile threats being designed and tested by Iran. This first end-to-end test of Israel's Arrow anti-missile system—this time using the agile, new Arrow 3 interceptor—could occur during the next few weeks. Some officials say the launch is imminent if all goes to plan.
The initial operating capability for Arrow 3, the highest-altitude component of the system, is slated for 2016. Judged by many in the U.S. and Israel as today's best missile defense system, Arrow 3 will offer pathways to at least five other advanced capabilities.
"We are excited to see the first flight test of the whole system," says Itzhak Kaya, Arrow program director for Israel Aerospace Industries' (IAI) MLM division. "We are still in the development phase and testing new capabilities to stay a step ahead of future threats in cooperation with Boeing and the [Pentagon's] Missile Defense Agency."
Budgets will dictate how fast additional improvements will be added to the Arrow system, but one need remains immutable.
"We need to see farther, there's no doubt about it," says Kaya. "It could be done with an unmanned air vehicle, for example, but you need a very big [platform]." There also are plans to expand surveillance by operating in additional segments of the electromagnetic spectrum, in particular the electro-optical (EO) and infrared (IR) frequencies. "We're also looking at an even more advanced Green Pine electronically scanned radar," he says.
An interim radar upgrade for the Arrow system—the Super Green Pine—has already been tested. Its power, discrimination and range are well in excess of the standard Green Pine's 300-mi.-plus range and its ability to track more than 30 targets moving at speeds greater than 10,000 ft. per sec. In practice, an Arrow 3 battery is expected to intercept salvos of more than five missiles within 30 sec. Now an even more advanced upgrade of the Super Green Pine—jokingly referred to as the "Double Super Green Pine"—is under development.
To support those radar upgrades, IAI's Elta group has developed more powerful but smaller transmitter-receiver modules that will repopulate the face of the radar. Moreover, the sensor package has new processors with greater computational power for faster target solutions.
The missile program expects to start using the IR and EO slices of the electromagnetic spectrum to extend missile detection over the horizon. These new sensors need to be mounted in UAVs for around-the-clock coverage, but the design of those platforms is still a work in progress.
"Unmanned aircraft development costs are lower, so Israel can develop them within its own defense budget," says a senior Israeli air force official. "There is long-range planning for all types of UAV systems. They will get larger, but there is no need right now for fast, jet-powered UAVs. Soon they will be able to stay up for weeks or months."
A fourth technology eyed for near-term upgrades of the Arrow 3 is an anti-satellite (Asat) capability. Israeli developers seem split on whether Asat is a classified element of the program. But the capability is being considered, according to the chairman of Israel's space agency, Air Force Maj. Gen. (ret.) Itzik Ben-Israel.
Finally, the Arrow 3 is being considered for installation on Israeli navy surface ships. The idea is to create mini-Aegis, missile defense platforms that can be moved quickly to address threats closer to their launch sites and to avoid attack.
Israel is keeping Arrow systems costs down by adding components as they are needed and through block upgrades. The Arrow 3 is simply the latest element. In fact, Arrow has been in development for 20 years. Its system—which includes the Citron Tree battle management capability—also works with other weapons including the U.S.-made Patriot missile and Aegis families as well as other systems operated by the Pentagon's Ballistic Missile Defense Organization.
"The system is tested every year because it is constantly being improved to meet the evolving threats," says Kaya. "Every block [upgrade] adds more capability [to address faster speeds, maneuvering and smaller warhead signatures]. The main thing is that we get earlier detection, which means better performance and success in intercepting the targets."
Right now the Defense Support Program constellation of infrared-sensor-equipped satellites is the first warning of a launch. That capability is tested every year during joint U.S.-Israeli exercises. The effort results in interoperability, improved systems integration and enhanced reliability.
"We need to stay a step ahead, so we are upgrading our capability in blocks," Kaya says. "If they are long-range threats, they are very fast. The small signature is always challenging. Decoys also are important."
Perhaps what is less obvious is that Israel's missile defenses are becoming much better at countering salvos of missiles, a capability that has been demonstrated with the lowest-tier "Iron Dome" system against unguided weapons, rockets and short-range missiles.
"For more than one threat—salvos—we have to intercept far away and very high and see the threats coming in real time," says Kaya. "That's what led us to the Arrow 3 solution. There's a large diversity of threats pointing at the center of Israel. We started with the operational need for near-zero leakage rates and low cost. It demanded a low-cost interceptor, high interception rates and the use of fewer missiles to be effective. That produced the multi-layer defense concept."
Arrow 3 operates outside the atmosphere as the first layer of the nation's missile defense strategy. Arrow 2 is the intermediate tier and is followed by Patriot (and soon David's Sling); the final layer is Iron Dome.
"We are taking into account that new [ballistic missile] technology is being imported into the region all the time," says Kaya. "That's why we're talking about Arrow as a flexible and adaptive system. Arrow is now dealing with threats that we didn't even dream about 20 years ago."
Russia, China, Pakistan and North Korea are all exporters of ballistic weapons technology. Pakistan and North Korea also have sold nuclear weapons know-how.
"I cannot speak about specific threats, but the intelligence guys are doing good work on existing missiles and what's coming in the next 5-10 years," says Kaya.
The Arrow 3 capability offers a look-shoot-look formula for its interceptions. Because of its early-detection capabilities, there is more space and time to assess the first shot and launch another missile if needed.
Moreover, Arrow 3 has a "divert" capability in its interceptors. It can be launched into an area of space even before it is known where the target missile is going. Israeli planners call it a "waiting space." When the target and its course are identified, the Arrow interceptor is redirected using its thrust-vectoring nozzle to close the gap and conduct what officials call a "body-to-body" or "hit-to-kill" intercept.
While the window for intercepting long-range ballistic missiles is still small, it has been expanded by the Arrow's improved kinematic envelope.
"The maneuvering capability of the Arrow 3 gives you a more robust solution," says Kaya. "The divert [option] is a big upgrade in the missile's ability to deal with future threats. If the first target is successfully intercepted, a second [Arrow 3 interceptor assigned as a backup] will be assigned to [pursue] another target."
There is no need for a fragmentation warhead because an advanced, proportional-navigation system juggles line-of-sight and relative vehicle motion to align the flight paths of the interceptor and the target missile.

Q: I rented a car twice at the airport in Ontario, Calif. I declined the prepaid gas option, so the attendant said, "Just return the car with a full tank of gas." The first rental was fine. But with the second, I was told that because I did not have a gas receipt, I was going to be charged $9, even though I brought the car back full. A supervisor, who had no explanation for why I was not charged on the first rental, reversed the charge, but my question is: What's the point of requiring a receipt if the gas tank reads full? It just seems like a sneaky way of making an extra buck.
—A.A., Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.
A: Seth Ginsberg, a frequent business traveler, may have the answer. He says he's frequently asked for a receipt. "The lesson I've learned is this: Just because the gauge points to F doesn't mean it's full."
Some car rental companies, which don't want to (and should not) get stuck with a customer's gas bill, have this policy as a protection from filling up in Los Angeles, arriving in Ontario and claiming a full tank of gas.
Those companies, some industry experts say, also think customers could be adding water to the gas tank to make it appear full or are using devices to achieve the full effect. Isn't that a lot of trouble for a customer to go to just for a gallon or two of gas? Doesn't that paint all customers with the same cheater brush?
A Hertz representative says her company doesn't ask for receipts. "We have faith in our customers," says Paula Rivera, manager of public affairs for Hertz.
Hertz ranked No. 4 in customer satisfaction in the 2011 North America Car Rental Satisfaction Survey released last week by J.D. Power & Associates. (Ace was No. 1, followed by Enterprise and National.)
Stuart W. Greif, vice president and general manager, global travel and hospitality for J.D. Power, thinks the question of whether to take a customer at his word — or not — is a "missed opportunity" for those car rental companies that stand too firmly on policy and thus insinuate that their customers are — how shall we say this delicately? — prevaricating pieces of pig snoot.
He also thinks that technologies may one day indicate whether a tank is full.
Assuming the technology worked correctly, that would put an end to the discussions. Until then, not assuming the customer is that pig snoot thing might accomplish the same goal at no cost.

Alan Freed
The boundary-smashing, trend-setting evangelist of rock and roll.
From popularizing the R&B records that became the foundation of rock to planning the first rock and roll concert, Alan Freed was the tireless promoter of the genre.
Disc jockey Alan Freed is widely credited with coining the term "rock and roll" to describe the uptempo black R&B records he played as early as 1951 on Cleveland radio station WJW. In addition, in 1952, Freed was one of the people who put together the Moondog Coronation Ball, a Cleveland concert that is now considered the first-ever rock and roll concert.
Alan Freed was born on December 21, 1921, in Windber, Pennsylvania. When he was 12, his family moved to Salem, Ohio. After attending Ohio State University for a while and serving a brief stint in the Army, Freed studied broadcasting at a school in Youngstown, Ohio. In 1945, he landed a job as a news and sports announcer on WAKR in Akron. By 1950, he had moved to WJW-AM radio in Cleveland.
At one point, when he was at Record Rendezvous, Cleveland's largest record store, he was taken aback by the large number of white teenagers who were buying R&B records, or what were then called "race records." At the suggestion of Leo Mintz, the owner of the store, Freed began programming the music on a late-night show on WJW called the "Moondog Rock 'n' Roll Party." He was the first white deejay on the North Coast to play these rhythm & blues records.
A tireless and enthusiastic advocate of the music he played, Freed kept time to his favorite records by beating his hands on a phone book. The show became extremely popular, and given its success, and the ever-increasing sales of R&B records, he and Mintz decided this music needed a new name. Freed began calling it rock and roll because "it seemed to suggest the rolling, surging beat of the music." The term was not new—it had been used to describe sex for a while—but Freed was the first person to call this new music by that name, and he was the first radio deejay to use the term.
The following year, Freed, Mintz and promoter Lew Platt decided to try and produce a concert with these newly popular acts. Held on March 21, 1952, at the Cleveland Arena, an indoor sports venue, the Moondog Coronation Ball is believed to be the nation's first-ever rock and roll concert. It featured the Dominoes, Paul Williams and the Hucklebuckers, Tiny Grimes and the Rocking Highlanders, Danny Cobb, Varetta Dillard and other artists. The concert drew some 25,000 fans to the arena, which had a capacity of only 10,000. Freed continued promoting rock and roll shows in the area, including the Moondog Maytime Ball and a Sunday Teenagers' Matinee, both held at the arena.
After conquering Cleveland, Freed took his show to WINS New York in August 1954. His WINS show was syndicated, so it could be heard in most major U.S. cities. Billboard magazine called Freed "the undisputed king of radio programming." During 1956 and 1957, Freed was featured in four movies: Rock Around the Clock (1956) with Bill Haley and the Comets; Don't Knock the Rock (1956) with Little Richard; Rock, Rock, Rock! (1956) with Chuck Berry, and Mr. Rock and Roll (1957).
While in New York, Freed also continued to spread the gospel of rock and roll via TV and the celebrated all-star shows he promoted at Brooklyn's Paramount Theater. Those stage shows remain the essential rock and roll revues of the era.
Later, the tangled favors of this period would come back to haunt Freed. Payola—a then-popular practice that involved record companies and distributors paying deejays to play certain records—had begun prompting many investigations. Freed was accused of having taken such payments, a charge that he denied. Throughout the ensuing witch hunt, Freed steadfastly maintained that he never played a record he didn't like. Nonetheless, he was blackballed within the business. He died a broken man on January 20, 1965, at the age of 43. The cause of death was complications from a damaged liver.
Inductee: Alan Freed (born December 15, 1921, died January 20, 1965)

Introduction and Concepts
This is a guide on how to configure an Archlinux installation to authenticate against an OpenLDAP server.The openldap backend can be either local (installed on the same computer) or network (i.e in a lab environment where central authentication is desired). The guide will be divided in two parts. The first part deals with how to setup OpenLDAP locally and the second with how to setup the NSS and PAM modules required for the authentication scheme to work. If you just want to configure Arch to authenticated against an already excisting LDAP server then you can skip to the second part.
OpenLDAP is an open-source server implementation of the LDAP protocol. It is mainly used as an authentication backend to various services (the most famous one being Samba, which is used to emulate a domain controller) and basically holds the user data. The closest analogue to real life, would be the telephone directory. Another generalised explanation of what an LDAP server does is that it is a database (which it basically is, but it is not relational) which is optimised for accessing the data and not reading them.
Commands relate to OpenLDAP that begin with ldap (like ldapsearch) are client-side utilities while commands that begin with slap (like slapcat) are server-side. Arch packages both in the openldap package, so you need to install it regardless of o local or network OpenLDAP install.
NSS and PAM
NSS (which stands for Name Service Switch) is a system mechanism to configure different sources for common configuration databases. For example,
/etc/passwd is a
file type source for the passwd database.
PAM (which stands for Pluggable Authentication Module) is a machanism Linux (and most *nixes) uses to extend it's authentication schemes based on different plugins.
So to summarize, we need to configure NSS to use the OpenLDAP server as a source for the
shadow and other configuration databases and then configure PAM to use these sources to authenticate it's users.
OpenLDAP Setup
You can read about installation and basic configuration in the OpenLDAP article. After you have completed that, return here.
Populate LDAP Tree with Base Data
Create a file called base.ldif with the following text:
# example.org dn: dc=example,dc=org objectClass: dcObject objectClass: organization o: Example Organization dc: example # Manager, example.org dn: cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=org cn: Manager description: LDAP administrator roleOccupant: dc=example,dc=org objectClass: organizationalRole objectClass: top # People, example.org dn: ou=People,dc=example,dc=org ou: People objectClass: top objectClass: organizationalUnit # Group, example.org dn: ou=Group,dc=example,dc=org ou: Group objectClass: top objectClass: organizationalUnit
Add it to your OpenLDAP Tree:
ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=org" -W -f base.ldif
Test to make sure the data was imported:
ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=example,dc=org' '(objectclass=*)'
Client Setup
Install openldap from the official repositories. This is needed regardless of whether you run openldap on your machine or over the network.
Next, install nss-pam-ldapdAUR from the Arch User Repository.
There is the nss_ldap and pam_ldap from the official repositories
Before you begin setting up PAM and NSS for ldap authentication, you should try to check if the LDAP server is available. You can do this easily with ldapsearch.
You can search an LDAP server with the following command:
ldapsearch -x -H <URL> -b <BASE>
-x is required in all client commands because SASL authentication probably hasn't been configured.
You can add the URL and BASE settings to
/etc/openldap/ldap.conf in order to avoid writing the everytime. All client-side ldap utilities use this file to read some general variables.
TLS_REQCERT allow
NSS Configuration
NSS is a system facility which manages different sources as configuration databases. For example
/etc/passwd is i
file-type source for the
passwd which by default stores the user accounts. nss_ldap is a plugin which allow NSS to see an OpenLDAP server as a source for these databases.
/etc/nsswitch.conf which is the central configuration file for NSS. It tells NSS which sources to use for which system databases. We need to add the
ldap directive to the
group and
shadow databases, so be sure your file looks like this:
passwd: files ldap group: files ldap shadow: files ldap
Name Service Cache Daemon
NSCD is a daemon that NSS runs that is responsible for caching lookups and queries for network backends.

The Bronc Ness Monster - 1991 Ford BroncoPosted in Features on March 1, 2012
It must have been three years ago when my friend Jake Povey showed me a photo of a fullsize Bronco being hucked through the air. Photos usually make jumps look smaller, and this looked huge. The usual gamut of questions followed: Whose Bronco is that? Do you know him? Does he live around here? Is it feature worthy? The answers to all of my questions came from Twisted Metal Works in Reno, Nevada, where Ryan Brown has worked as a fabricator for the last nine years.
To end up with a vehicle this nice you either need deep pockets or mad skills. The days of getting a home equity loan and buying a six-figure prerunner are a distant memory, so Ryan had to build his '91 Bronco the old fashioned way. In fact, he is so meticulous and it took him so long to complete his labor of love that I started to wonder if the Bronc Ness Monster really existed, or if that original photo I had seen was just a Photoshopped ruse. Looking up "Ryan Brown Bronco" on Snopes didn't yield any results, and one day I finally got a phone call from Ryan. "The Bronco is ready" was all he said. After many long nights at Twisted Metal Works it was finally ready for the camera.
When I hopped in to the Bronco to scout out photo locations Ryan already had his five-point harnesses cinched down, so I knew he was ready for business. I secured my camera bag to the third MasterCraft 3G seat in the back and then tightened my own Crow harnesses as the 351W roared to life. The sweet "clack, clack" of bypass tubes filled my ears as we floated over whoops like they weren't even there. The test loop we were on is like Ryan's backyard; he tunes his shocks here and knows every turn. Ryan stomped the gas and hucked the truck through the air, just like in that blurry photo I had seen years before. "Mind letting me out and doing that again?" I asked into the PCI headset. Ryan obliged, and we had ourselves a feature shot!
The Bronco is a perfect example of what you can achieve with some hard work on an average guy's budget. The factory 351W was left relatively stock for reliability, and feeds power to an E40D that Ryan rows with an Art Carr shifter. From there the factory BW1356 transfer case splits power to the Dana 44 Twin Traction Beam (TTB) front end and swapped in rear Ford 9-inch. The front uses Ryan-built 4.5-inch extended beams filled with CTM chromoly axles, an open differential, and 4.88 gears while the rear has been fortified with Schreiner Enterprises full floating hubs and 35-spline axle shafts connected to a Detroit Locker and 4.86 gears. Lubelocker gaskets front and rear make for easy maintenance, and Ryan laid down miles of TIG welds on both housings to add enough trussing to ensure that they never bend when the 35-inch BFGoodrich Baja T/As return from orbit. The tires are steered by a complete Lee Manufacturing steering system that includes a reworked Ford box, custom stroke ram, and modified Saginaw pump plumbed with hydraulic lines sourced right down the street from Twisted Metal Works at Reno Hydraulic and Rebuild.
While the drivetrain is stout, the suspension is the real star of the show. Fox 2.5 14-inch-stroke Fox coilovers were sourced from Samco Fabrication, who provided many of the parts and assisted with shock tuning to dial in the ride. The front coilovers use light valving and Eibach coil springs in the front while 3.0 16-inch-stroke four-tube Fox bypass shocks do the bulk of the damping. Out back Giant Motorsports helped Ryan devise a suspension that could keep up with the TTB without breaking the bank. A pair of 64-inch Deaver leaf springs are used with Giant Motorsports shackles, hangers, and U-bolt plates. Another pair of 3-inch diameter four-tube Fox bypass shocks in the rear smooth out the bumps. Fox hydraulic bumpstops compliment the bypass shocks at all four corners and prevent harsh bottoming while FiberwerX glass fenders and bedsides make room for the ample suspension travel.
Inside, the Bronco looks more like a six-figure prerunner than something Ford built two decades ago. Ryan made a full rollcage from 1.75-inch 0.120 wall 4130 tubing and TIG-welded it to the frame for safety and increased chassis stiffness. Ryan's dad, Jim, is a contractor and did an admirable job on the interior carpeting. There is tweed and aluminum everywhere you look; the sort of details that most fabricators don't have the patience for and a clue about what was keeping Ryan busy during all of those long nights of work. The front two MasterCraft Safety 3G seats sit in the factory locations behind the FiberwerX carbon fiber dash that has a Lowrance 5200C GPS and a host of Auto Meter Ultra Lite gauges that monitor temps for the engine oil, coolant, and transmission as well as oil pressure, fuel level, and voltage. The aluminum center console holds the controls for the PCI intercom, Kenwood race radio, Art Carr shifter, and various toggle switches complete with race-quality circuit breakers.
In the end the Bronc Ness Monster ended up being more than an urban legend, and well worth the wait. Crawling over and under the Bronco quickly revealed why it took so long to complete. He must have attended charm school in addition to fab school, because Ryan was quick to thank all of the people who have helped him along the way. Amongst the shout-outs are Jeremy Nordine for putting his own project on the back burner to help Ryan, Mark Leverett for building the trick fire extinguisher mounts, and Jake Povey for laying down some of the beautiful TIG welds. OR
Giant Motorsports should hire Ryan to take potential customers for rides, it will make them a believer in Giant's "Link Killer" leaf spring suspension. The Deaver springs work with Giant Motorsports shackles, hangers and bash plates alongside big Fox 3-inch, four-tube bypass shocks. The 18-inch-travel shocks allow 19.5 inches of wheel travel and go up into the cab, forcing the interior remodel.
A FiberwerX carbon fiber dash replaced the stock dash and gauge cluster. Instead, the real estate is filled with a Lowrance 5200C GPS and a host of Auto Meter Ultra Lite gauges monitoring the vitals. Behind the dash you can see the custom aluminum console that holes the intercom, race radio, switches with circuit breakers, and the Art Carr shifter. It even has cup holders!
Here you can see the custom storage that Ryan built for his Bronco. A spare rear driveshaft, alternator, and an aluminum jack are properly secured in the rear cargo area where they are easy to reach. Little details like this are abundant throughout the Bronco and an indication of just how much time Ryan has spent in the garage working on the Bronc Ness Monster. This was a labor of love and he has hundreds of hours of fabrication time in the interior alone. If you had to pay someone to do this work it would cost a fortune, but Ryan is a stickler for details and wanted everything to be perfect.

Meet your fellow owners in our Owners Clubs
can the S60 AWD get close to the S60R or just dreamin?
Hmmm....another 50 HP out of a turbo 4 cylinder? That's going to take some serious engine work I think.
Also you have to consider the effects of high HP on an AWD system---you could end up eating clutches for breakfast.0
Various tuners such as iPd sell chip/exhaust upgrades to boost horepower in Volvo engines. From what I've read elsewhere, they've been pretty reliable.
Shifty- Both the S40 (new style) and S60 are 5 cylinders.0
Ah, thanks for the info. I guess I saw "T5" and thought of the older models with that designation.
So anyway---50 more HP from CAI, intake, cat back exhaust and a chip....hmmmm......maybe, maybe, but I'd sure want to know what that chip is actually doing to my engine.0
That is easy - cutting the lifespan down by half or more.0
I was told by a prett-y well respected engine builder that a turbo engine already loses 10% engine life as compared to the exact same engine in n/a form.
So if we have a chip that is messing with maximum boost, or a boost controller allowing you to manipulate that manually, lemmer might be right about this.0
well i figure a new exhaust, air intake, re-flash, down pipe, shoulde give quite
a gain. do you have any suggestions for manufactures and such? i understand
there are a limited # of them.
any suggestions for a clutch upgrade?
i plan on piecing stuff together in a good order and then getting it flashed
(hopefully i can find someone capable).
i don't want an ultimate car here just some modes to give it some more GUTS, i would really like to get the S60R and mod that to give my buddy w/ modded WRX a run for his money since he thinks volvos suck, i recently showed him some time slips of some s60r's that stomped some STi times.0
It would be likely cheaper in the long run (especially from a resale standpoint) to just buy a S60R. Or, you could buy something like an older S70 turbo and mod it and not have to worry about ruining a nice newer car.0
That's one way for you to go and not a bad idea. Lemmer is right, you will drastically lower the resale value of this car if you do that to it.
But having said that, I think someone already recommended IPD for you, which is a great start for Volvo mods. I'm sure IPD could turn you on to other sources, too.0
Here's the low-down on IPD's flash ECU reprogramming to allow more boost. It's a pdf file, so it might take a moment or two depending on connection speed.
I agree with lemmer; find the nicest '98 (pre electronic throttle) S or V70 T5 you can find and mod the whee out of it. You'll be saving money over buying a new-ish S60 and you'll have a greater degree of latitude for what you can do, mod-wise, with the simpler engine management system.0
First problem is, you aren't talking 50 hp. You're talking 92 hp difference between the 2 (only 208 in the 2.5T AWD volvo - if you have the previous 2.4T, then you're only getting 190). 2nd problem is that even the R does not make that much power in the first 2 gears of the automatic version. The volvo automatic can't take the power, so the ECU cuts the power WAY back in the lower gears. SO, putting 300 hp through your tranny is going to shred it.
'10 Equinox LS; '08 Charger R/T Daytona; '67 Coronet R/T; '14 Town&Country Limited; '18 BMW X2. 49-car history and counting!0
It would be easier/cheaper to buy an S60 R and just go from there, I currently own a 2001 S60 T5 and although it's quick I'm still short about 45 hp and torque from the R model. One of my customers owns an R and was nice enough to let me drive it and poke around under the hood, even though it's still under warranty. what I found was that not only is the ECM different but also the injector rail, wiring, TCV and a few other differences. Personally I'm saving up to the point where i can sell my T5 and then turn around to buy an R, just seems more practical to start modding an already faster car. and as far as engine life goes, yes it significantly cuts the life of the engine. Apart from my T5 I also have a 1989 780 with 205,435 and it's still running amazingly for it's age. This most likely will not happen with my T5 model, not only because of the added stress of the modifications but also because when you mod a car like this you'll be driving it harder and doing more jack-rabbit starts0
You also have an entirely different engine in the T5. That's still the 2.3 liter, is it not? While the R uses a 2.5.
You can crank that T5 up to R power with just an ECU and full exhaust ... but it still wouldn't have the R's AWD, nor would it have that cool adjustable suspension. But, heck, the T5 is still a fun ride, in my opinion (of course, I'm biased) .

Hey, let me know if you're ever ready to sell that 780...0
You're right, the R does use a 2.5L. As far as the AWD all the bolt holes are already there in a FWD car, it's just the enormous expense of the rear end swap, ecu change and all the headaches that go along with that. But I just found out on a website soley ment for dealers that there is a OEM upgrade you can do to your suspension to get it very close to the adjustable 4C suspension in the R, don't know how well it will work but for 3k it better be amazing. Speaking of ECU upgrades (and sorry to change the topic) where are you looking that the T5 will match an R? and what kind of price? The fastest I found was IPD/Heico which only brings it to about 280. http://ipdusa.com/pdf/ecu_guide_2001_05.pdf
... although you are talking about front wheel drive versus all wheel, which with the same power FWD should be noticeably faster0
I guess I should have said ABOUT the same power. It is 20 less hp, but its 20 more lbs of torque, so it is pretty close.
And, like you said, without the drag and weight of AWD .... but then you have a lack of traction problem with putting that much through the front wheels.

yeah, but just more to experiment with =-]0
fadetoblackii Posts: 29T5 is a 2.4L in the S60.
I've gotta say you hit the nail on the head with your suspension comment. The S60 (let alone the S40 T5) doesn't have anything close to the suspension that's in the R. So on top of all the other differences in the engine, tranny, etc, you'd still have all that power and not the suspension to properly enjoy it.0
T5 is a 2.4L in the S60.
You're right ... on the '05 and up. Up till '04, it was a 2.3. I never realized they bumped it up in size.

While TeleSign was founded in 2004, the company has been experiencing explosive growth over the past two years. We need a new logo that reflects the business's new, more mature tone.
Telephone verification works like this:
- End-user enters their phone number on a website
- We send phone call or SMS message containing a temporary PIN code to user's phone
- End-user enters PIN onto website to complete process
Telephone verification has various uses, including:
- Stops people (and bots) from creating email/social networking/etc. accounts in bulk
- Automates password reset process
- Prevents e-commerce fraud
- Helps to verify business location
- Provides two-factor authentication solution
We generally think of ourselves as a fraud and spam prevention company; however, there are many different uses for our products and many different directions the company can move in, and we want a logo that's flexible enough to remain relevant for many years to come.
To get a better understanding of the service, go through our demo:
- CTO, CIO, CSO (Chief Security Officer), Directors of Development, and Project Managers at Fortune 100 companies

- Unique and tech-oriented
- Can be either a typeface logo or include an icon
- If an icon is included, it should be either generic or relate to security/identity
The logo can either be an upgrade of our exiting logo or something completely different. We prefer to use either a blue color scheme (our current logo uses a light blue/dark blue combo) or a blue and silver color scheme. You can view our current logo at:
The logo will primarily be used on a white (or light) background. However, we'd also like to have two additional versions of the logo: one that works well on a dark background, and one that can be printed in black and white.
This logo will be used on our website, business cards, letterhead, mailings, trade show booths, signs, etc., so it should work well both large and small.
The file types we will require are:
- Print: .AI (CMYK), .PDF
- Web: .JPG, .GIF, layered .PSD (RGB)

After testing his options for the 2014 season, J'Marcus Webb is joining the Kansas City Chiefs.
The offensive tackle is signing a one-year contract with the Chiefs, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday, citing a source informed of the player's plans. (The Chiefs confirmed the signing on Monday.)
Webb visited the Carolina Panthers and Minnesota Vikings last week, but settled on the team he worked out for in March.
The 25-year-old tackle spent 2013 with the Vikings after being cut by the Chicago Bears. Webb played just 108 snaps while appearing in eight games in Minnesota, starting one.
The seventh-round pick spent three seasons in Chicago -- the last two as the full-time starter. However, he often struggled to protect Jay Cutler's back. Pro Football Focus ranked Webb the 50th-rated offensive tackle in his last full season.
The Chiefs needed to add line help after losing tackle Branden Albert and guards Jon Asamoah and Geoff Schwartz in free agency.
While Webb lacks NFL starting skills, he can be a swing option and provide depth along Andy Reid's line.
Webb wasn't the only addition the Chiefs made Monday, as the team signed defensive lineman Kyle Love, Rapoport reported, citing Love's agent.
Love, a four-year veteran, split the 2013 season with the Chiefs and the Jaguars, playing in just two total games with one tackle.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" plays the post-draft version of the game "What's More Likely" and breaks down all the latest news.

Industrial Inspired Luxury House Overlooking the Pacific Ocean
The shores of the Pacific Ocean inspired the Mexican architect, Alberto Kalach to create an exceptional luxurious mansion with a stunning view, catching every sunrise and sunset, nearby the waters. The Atalaya project lies on a 1,100 square foot of ground, mixing in an impeccable way, basic materials used in the industrial design, such as concrete, neon light or stainless steel with wood and marble to create the perfect climate for wellness. The mansion made entirely of concrete reveals a structure nothing but industrial. The labyrinthian shape and the different concrete blocks generate a certain atmosphere filled with coolness.
The most impressive thing about the Atalaya mansion is the surrounding landscape. The mountains, the valley and the ocean itself offer some of the most spectacular images one can only dream about. The interior is a mix of neutral marble, concrete, glass and natural wood. A modern breezy home, in a few words. The hardwood beams and the comfy soft carpets from the living areas inspire that warmth you were looking all around this sterile space. Thanks to the irregular shape of the building, the well preserved wild vegetation is a major attraction for its inhabitants. As you discover the house, you end up wandering on long corridors with 'secret' staircases entirely made of marble. Along the corridors the artificial neon light carries your steps, but as soon as you enter the homey rooms, your eyesight is flooded by natural light. A part of the roof is covered with vegetation, just like a suspended garden, somehow immersing into the wild and savage landscape. At the upper level, there's a lap pool seasoned with a row of lounge chairs for your relaxation and wellness sessions.

Scrum Sevens
And the award goes to...
ESPNscrum Staff
December 2, 2010
Richie McCaw celebrates after bursting the Springboks' bubble © Getty Images
The Test season is over, with only another big day out for the Barbarians remaining in 2010. The IRB have named All Blacks skipper Richie McCaw as the best player in the world (again) and in the spirit of giving, Scrum Sevens has some awards of its own to dish out.
Try of the Year: Israel Dagg, New Zealand 31-17 South Africa, Wellington, July 17
Ah, the joy of impetuous youth. Barely two minutes after being introduced as a replacement for Rene Ranger as the All Blacks steamrollered the Springboks at Westpac Stadium, Dagg goose-stepped his way between two of the world's best back-row operators, take a bow Schalk Burger and Pierre Spies, rode Gio Aplon's lunge and stepped past a stunned Zane Kirchner to score in the corner. He then got levelled by Richie McCaw for his trouble.
And before the Twickenham faithful suit up to invade Scrum towers - Chris Ashton's try is coming later.
Meltdown of the Year: Bakkies Botha's headbutt on Jimmy Cowan, New Zealand 32-12 South Africa, Auckland, July 10
If a moment could encapsulate a year. Botha's mindless assault on Jimmy Cowan and subsequent nine-week ban kicked off a miserable Tri-Nations for South Africa. They went on to finish rock bottom in their worst performance in the tournament's history, with Botha's ban creating not only a media stir but also condemnation from his team-mates, including skipper John Smit. He returned for their November tour and reminded us all exactly how physical and effective a second-row he can be - too little, too late for 2010 though and he will want to make a big impression in the forthcoming Super Rugby season.
Collapse of the Year: France 16-59 Australia, Paris, November 27
The mother of all second-half capitulations. After Morgan Parra slotted a penalty to give the home side the lead at 16-13, they promptly shipped 46 unanswered points to sink to a record defeat that somehow eclipsed their Marseille hammering at the hands of the All Blacks in the embarrassment stakes. News of the result was almost invariably greeted by a Gallic shrug and a mumbled talk of French unpredictability, although others eulogised about another breakneck display from the Wallabies. Whatever the excuse, this was not good enough from a side trumpeted as genuine contenders for the World Cup in nine months' time. And now having leaked 40+ points in three of their last five outings there is evidently work to do if they are to live up to that billing.
Party-pooper of the Year: Richie McCaw, South Africa 22-29 New Zealand, Soweto, August 21, 2010
The stage was set, the stars were aligned. John Smit was winning his 100th cap for South Africa, there was a record attendance for a Springbok fixture, the All Blacks were in town and revenge was the order of the day. The Springboks produced a greatly improved performance from the opening weeks of the Tri-Nations and their heavyweight pack looked all set to haul them over the line. With 77 minutes gone and the Boks up 22-17, up pops McCaw to crash over in the corner despite the attentions of Spies, Bryan Habana and Jean de Villiers. Dan Carter missed the conversion but more was to come from the All Blacks skipper, whose turnover seconds later allowed Ma'a Nonu to brush of a Smit tackle and set Dagg on his way to the winner. An amazing three minutes from the best player on the planet.
Surprise of the Year: England giving it some air, England 35-18 Australia, Twickenham, November 13
It's hard to believe that this performance came in the same calendar year as England's stodge-fests against Italy and Scotland in the Six Nations. There were glimpses of a more expansive game from England on tour to Australia in June but an 80-minute performance of pace and power had been lacking until their youngsters smashed the Wallabies on home soil. Endless replays of Ashton's try have followed, it's almost as if some people want to rob it of its excitement, but the interplay between Ben Youngs, Courtney Lawes and Ashton, who at the end of November had 22 Test caps between them, was stunning. The finish wasn't bad either and finally announced England not as world beaters but a team with the will to play, something that has been missing for too long.
The Year's biggest thriller: Wales 31-24 Scotland, Cardiff, February 13
Shane Williams' try brought delirium to the Millennium Stadium and ended a Test match that possessed all the twists and turns the neutral could want. For those inside the ground it was a more difficult watch, with Scotland storming into a deserved lead thanks to tries from John Barclay and Max Evans. The home side were 10 points down with four minutes remaining before Leigh Halfpenny's try and five points from Stephen Jones levelled it up. Williams, who does have a penchant for the unpredictable, crashed across the Scottish line after almost 82 minutes to win it - the wounded visitors down to 13 men after Scott Lawson and Phil Godman were sin-binned with under seven minutes to go. Crazy business.
Kick of the Year: Kurtley Beale, South Africa 39-41 Australia, Bloemfontein, September 4, 2010
The moment that a number of Australia's young guns came of age, Beale's 55-metre penalty to beat the Boks with the last kick of the game proved that Robbie Deans' men had the intestinal fortitude to win on the big stage. The preceding 80 minutes of play constitutes a bona-fide classic Test match, with the Wallabies racking up 31 points before the break before South Africa's amazing physicality and sheer bloody mindedness dragged them into a winning position - the teams trading eight tries before the boot took over in the dying moments. Morne Steyn's 75th minute penalty was all set to be the winner until Flip van der Merwe strayed to allow Beale his chance. He took it and the rugby world seemed to sit back and take stock - these kids can play.

The case for yet an another interest-rate cut is getting stronger after a weaker than expected jobs report.
The jobless rate rose to 5.4 per cent in December after the number of people in employment fell by 5500, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported on Thursday.
The unemployment rate was in line with what economists were expecting but the figure for November was revised up by 0.1 per cent to 5.3 per cent.
While full-time employment fell by 13,800, it was partly offset by an increase of 8300 part-time jobs.
All states recorded monthly rises in the rate of unemployment with the biggest in Tasmania, where the rate climbed 0.6 per cent to 7.3 per cent.
ANZ economists said the data supported their view that the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) needed to lower interest rates further this year to limit the rise in the unemployment rate.
"With inflationary pressures expected to remain relatively benign ... the RBA will have scope to ease policy further to support economic activity outside of the mining sector this year," the economists said in a statement.
The central bank meets for its first board meeting of the year on February 5 after it cut the cash rate by 0.25 basis points in December, to 3.0 per cent.
Acting Employment Minister Kate Ellis said while the unemployment rate was expected to rise even further, joblessness in Australia would remain low by international standards.
She blamed the rise in the national unemployment rate on public sector job losses in Queensland.
"Regrettably, more than 22,000 Queenslanders found themselves out of a job this Christmas (while) across the rest of the country, jobs grew," Ms Ellis told reporters in Adelaide.
"Were it not for the Queensland job losses, the unemployment rate today would have actually fallen to 5.2 per cent rather than slightly rising."
She said 65 jobs have been lost each day since the election of the LNP government.
Meanwhile, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott tried to link Labor's backflip on its promise to return the budget to surplus to the employment figures.
It was no wonder jobs growth was weak "when you've got a government which simply cannot deliver when it comes to budget management", Mr Abbott told reporters in Sydney.
He pointed out that Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Treasurer Wayne Swan had on 200 separate occasions promised a budget surplus - something the government now concedes is unlikely.
"(A surplus) is not going to happen and they have failed their own test of economic management," he said.
"That's why we're getting the kind of economic weakness which we're currently seeing."
Shadow treasurer Joe Hockey said the data showed that business had no confidence.
He also tried to link the weak employment report to Labor's budget surplus backdown.
"There is not the confidence there and there won't be whilst the government continues to act deceptively when it comes to the surplus," Mr Hockey said.
He highlighted the fact that Western Australia, a Liberal state, had the lowest rate of unemployment while Tasmania, held by Labor, posted an unemployment rate of more than seven per cent.
"Quite frankly, the only thing that's going to get confidence back is a change of government," he said.

For people like 62-year-old Nancy Fischer, who is unemployed and raising a 7-year-old granddaughter at home, placing food on the table has always been a challenge.
Now it's a worry.
"Some of the prices I stopped looking at because they are so high," said Fischer.
She's not alone. All over Southern California grocery shopping habits are changing.
"You shop a little bit here, a little bit at Costco, then you come to the little market. You're used to paying a little bit more here," said Jay Conklin, a grocery shopper.
"More bulk shopping. More buying stuff on sale. For instance, the cheese is $1.99 for eight ounces," said shopper Sheri Gottlieb.
Food prices are indeed going up, according to The US Department of Agriculture, and we have yet to feel the full impact.
Staples such as eggs, meat and dairy have gone up from 3 1/2% to 5 1/2% over the past year.
Much of the problem is the price of corn, according to Brad Freid, who runs Canyon Wholesale Provisions, which has doubled over the past year. The price went up from $3.5 to $7 a bushel.
"The dollar has been weak, so it makes our exports, which are mostly agricultural, attractive to other buyers around the world," according to Brad Freid, of Canyon Wholesale Provisions.
Add in the fact that close to a quarter of the corn harvest is now being used for ethanol, which has reduced the supply for food.
So the most fundamental of all needs, is now becoming more scarce and more expensive.
Adding to the concern of governments and households, around the world, and here at home.

Spray Tan Chic (http://www.spraytanchic.com)
I'm a mother of 2, wife of 1. I pride myself in being true to myself, to my family and friends. I'm not into faking it....unless it comes to a tan. I recently started my own mobile spray tanning company in San Diego. For years, I searched for a family friendly career that would allow me to have flexible hours and be there for the majority of my children's early years. Mobile spray tanning was the answer. I had no idea when I started this that I would love my clientele as much as the money. When I leave a new customer's house, I feel like I've made a new friend. Corny but true. I think I relate with people easily and can't help but bring my dry sense of humor along with me. Sunless tanning is growing fast and I want potential customer's to have trust in me. Getting nude in front of a stranger and fearing your skin will turn orange can leave people hesitant to try a spray tan. To add to it, I am exclusively mobile and will be entering their home. I want it to have a "chicness" to it since the word CHIC is part of the company name.
Most of the clientele I am looking to target would be women. I'm looking for higher end clientele that know good work isn't cheap and cheap work isn't good. This audience would be more service oriented. Instead of going to get something done, they want it to come to them. This audience has a busy life and appreciates being pampered in the privacy of their own home.
Brides and their bridal party are another HUGE target. Tanning parties are very popular. Everyone gets a tan while making a night out of it. They look good for the event and in the photos.
My color scheme would be black, gray, white and pink. I want a clean look with the main navigation bar right below header. I would like a gradient background that goes from solid black and slowly transitions down to dark gray. The site must be centered and a 2 column layout.
I'm not exactly sure where I want the logo to go. The diamond tiara is very symmetrical so I think top center or top left but am open to ideas. I'm open to resizing the logo. I might even move away from the logo if it doesn't fit the feel I'm looking for. I've included an image of some scrolling that I like. I wouldn't mind seeing something with this but I think it would be too overpowering with the both.
I'm realizing I really like sites that are primarily black with white text.
Here are a few salon websites that I liked the cleanness of.
I like but am not limiting the font to Lucida Sans Unicode.
I want a feminine look to it.
Thank you!!

We have a problem that leads to a system of linear equations which has to be solved numerically. There are thousands of algorithms to solve linear equations, but I haven't found any that fits our special requirements.
I've tried to describe these requirements in the pdf linked below: http://pdfcast.org/pdf/linalgproblem (Document has three pages)
Since our problem is probably a common one, we believe that there are algorithms specially designed for the kind of matrices we are facing.
Do you know someone who had the same problem? Do you know a fitting algorithm? Do you know an implementation in c++? That would help us a lot!
PS: The matrices to solve will have about 1000-10000 rows and 5000-20000 lines.
EDIT: I still hope to hear about a more specific recommendation than to use an algorithm for sparse matrices. I believe I'm not the first one having to solve this problem.

In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, West Coast Talk Radio or WCTR is a talk radio show with many liberals, conservatives, and exotic people. It is owned by Ammu-Nation. Headquartered in Los Santos, WCTR consists of several programs.
WCTR News: Hosted by Lianne Forget with Richard Burns, which features up-to-date news in the State of San Andreas, often reporting incidents that happened in a mission, such as the stealing of a Hydra plane in the mission Vertical Bird.
The Tight End Zone: Sports program hosted by Derrick Thackery. Thackery does not actually care as much about the sports he loves than the passions aroused from it.
The Wild Traveler: Travel program hosted by James Pedeaston. Pedeaston is a child molester wanted in Malaysia and is currently being investigated by the FBI. He enjoys traveling the world and logging some of his most 'exotic' encounters in his travelogue, some of which he accidentally reads on-air to the (unintentional) disgust of listeners. His show appears to be so reviled by his listeners that at one point, he receives no calls at all.
Entertaining America: Entertainment program hosted by Billy Dexter and later Lazlow, featuring various guests. Dexter is accidentally shot in the head by a gun-wielding Jack Howitzer, and after a rather lengthy hiatus (which includes Howitzer's subsequent conviction on WCTR news) is replaced by Lazlow.
Gardening with Maurice: Gardening show hosted by Maurice. Maurice has a rather horny personality; he not only loves his gardens, but his own body as well. For example, he likes to take pictures of both when they are "blossoming." He also offers unorthodox advice and unusual plant suggestions to callers.
I Say/You Say: Political debate show hosted by husband-and-wife liberal-and-conservative team of Peyton Phillips and Mary Phillips. Peyton and Mary are caricatures of their ideologies; Peyton having communist inclinations while Mary plays 'greedy capitalist'. For example, when dealing with a caller that had recently buried the corpses of numerous illegal immigrants in his backyard, Mary advises the caller on how to use the corpses to evade his taxes while Peyton mentions recycling and organ donation. Early shows feature a desperate Lazlow looking for a radio job, asking if he can take Peyton's and stating that he used to be on the radio "back in the day", referring to his jobs as radio talk show host of V-Rock in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
Lonely Hearts: Relationship advice program hosted by Christy MacIntyre, featuring Fernando Martinez; he briefly mentions being "chased out" (of Vice City) and alludes to a "Five Alarm Fire".
Area 53: A Coast to Coast AM spoof hosted by Marvin Trill. The show is dedicated to conspiracy theories and UFO sightings.
Depending on a player's progress through the game's storyline, the segments played on WCTR will change. Thus, during one segment of the game, the player may only hear specific portions of programs not to be heard again as new segments are aired. This phenomenon is prominent in the 'WCTR News', 'Entertaining America', and 'The Wild Traveler' programs. Various intros, outros and comments delivered by Barbara Fox. Several characters from the main game make cameos in the radio programs and advertising.
It shows the occasional news breakthrough from the game, and OG Loc makes the occasional appearance after you "retrieved" some rhymes from Madd Dogg. Big Smoke also appears as a person who is forced to serve community service and is spokesperson for the "little guy." The radio station is good in short bursts but is not suggested for long road trips

Technology revives Aboriginal language
By: Margaret Paul
TONY EASTLEY: New technologies are helping revive one of Australia's oldest languages which many people fear was slowly disappearing.
A school in Menindee, in far western New South Wales, is developing a computer application to help students learn the traditional Aboriginal language Paakantyi.
Margaret Paul reports.
MARGARET PAUL: Isabelle Bennett is 82. She's perched on a walking frame in the backyard of her small house in outback New South Wales, getting in-home lessons on how to speak her native language, Paakantji.
KAYLEEN KERWIN: When we say hello, we say...
WOMAN: She might know it, she might know it.
KAYLEEN KERWIN: Can you remember how you say hello?
ISABELLE BENNETT: No, I don't think so.
KAYLEEN KERWIN: Ngayi.
ISABELLE BENNETT: Ngayi, yeah, I remember that! Ngayi.
MARGARET PAUL: She did learn the language as a child, but she was taken away from her home in the Menindee Mission by the Catholic Church in 1945. She didn't speak it for decades.
Now she's back home and Kayleen Kerwin from the Menindee Central School is sitting with her on the grass, giving her all the help she can.
KAYLEEN KERWIN: What about the meat, when we have meat?
ISABELLE BENNETT: Wanga.
KAYLEEN KERWIN: Good, yes.
ISABELLE BENNETT: I remember that quite easily!
MARGARET PAUL: In the Paakantji language, "paaka" means river. It's spoken by people of the Darling River in western New South Wales, from Bourke to Wilcannia and as far south as Wentworth, near the Victorian border.
Now, only a handful of people speak the language fluently, but the Menindee Central School is teaching its students the native tongue.
And when she's remembered a few more words, Isabelle Bennett's voice will form part of an iPad app the school is developing.
ISABELLE BENNETT: It makes me so proud. I'm so happy that our children are going to learn the language.
MARGARET PAUL: Kayleen Kerwin is a Paakantyi woman and a language assistant at the school. Her voice will also be on the app.
KAYLEEN KERWIN: Thank god for technology, you know. And it's so all upgraded now so you know, you didn't have the little dictaphones back then and things get lost and the little tapes and stuff. So this is all good now.
MARGARET PAUL: The program is being developed by one of the primary school teachers, who's doing all the coding in his spare time. Kayleen Kerwin says it's an exhausting process, but she's proud it means there'll be a permanent record of what her language sounds like.
The Paakantyi app is due to be released in the next month or so.
John Hobson is the coordinator of Indigenous languages education at the University of Sydney's Koori Centre.
JOHN HOBSON: It's certainly cutting edge and it's great to see people in a community like Menindee and the Paakantyi community getting on top of modern technology that's really going to appeal to kids and engage them in learning the language.
MARGARET PAUL: And it's not the only example of technology being used to revive Australian Indigenous languages. Mr Hobson has been working with a colleague in the United States on translating Facebook into less popular languages.
Three Australian Aboriginal languages are now available on Facebook, as well as other languages like Scottish Gaelic, Yiddish and Samoan. And there are plans for more Australian languages to get online too.
JOHN HOBSON: You know, having your page in Paakantyi might encourage people to actually post to each other in Paakantyi, and that's using the language, and that's a fabulous thing. That's really reviving it.
MARGARET PAUL: Mr Hobson says while the latest technology might get people hooked, the hard part is to keep them learning until they can speak the language fluently.
JOHN HOBSON: There's a great temptation with technology, and particularly in the language revival field, where people are pretty desperate to find a way forward, to latch onto something as the single answer, the magic silver bullet if you like.
Of course there is no such thing. We need as many different forms for people to be able to access and use the language, to learn it and most importantly to speak it to each other.
MARGARET PAUL: Back in her backyard, Isabelle Bennett reflects that growing up in Menindee is a lot different to when she was a child.
Did you speak language when you lived on the mission?
ISABEL BENNETT: No. We wasn't allowed. The children weren't allowed to use the language.
MARGARET PAUL: She is thrilled she'll have the chance to speak Paakantyi with her children and grandchildren.
TONY EASTLEY: Margaret Paul reporting.

Does the recent boom in fracking help or hurt the fight against climate change?
EPA methane report further divides fracking campsPittsburgh — The Environmental Protection Agency has dramatically lowered its estimate of how much of a potent heat-trapping gas leaks during natural gas production, in a shift with major implications for a debate that has divided environmentalists: Does the recent boom in fracking help or hurt the fight against climate change?
Oil and gas drilling companies had pushed for the change, but there have been differing scientific estimates of the amount of methane that leaks from wells, pipelines and other facilities during production and delivery. Methane is the main component of natural gas.
The new EPA data is "kind of an earthquake" in the debate over drilling, said Michael Shellenberger, the president of the Breakthrough Institute, an environmental group based in Oakland, Calif. "This is great news for anybody concerned about the climate and strong proof that existing technologies can be deployed to reduce methane leaks."

The chair gives an easy rock to mellow children, provides comfort while reading or playing and the space below is a secret nook to store stuffed animals. Inspired by African stools that cup the body, the Mod Rocker's form is wide and low to the ground. Its sculptural shape is an aesthetic addition to any room in the home. The weight capacity exceeds 450 lbs. We also offer Mod Pad with a non-skid rubber underside for comfort and a shot of color.

House Envy: Historic Federal in TN
HOUSE STYLE: Federal
LOCATION: Johnson City, TN
HOUSE STATS: 4,190 sq. ft., 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths
The House. It's a sort of countrified Federal, constructed neither of wood nor brick, but rather of native Tennessee limestone. As the listing reports, the home has survived mostly unchanged since its 1801 construction, and numerous Federal characteristics mark the home as authentic to its period—the symmetrical layout and the architectural grace of the main staircase, as well as the narrow proportions (and thin mullions) of the windows. But there are rural touches as well. So in a way the home's hybrid design tells the tale of its own creation at a specific moment in American history.
The History. Often called the Martin Katzmiller House, the property sits on a 2-acre lot that's been named a Landmark Historic Conservation District, while the house itself appears on the National Register of Historic Places. Originally, Katzmiller commissioned a Quaker stone mason to construct the what would have been a fairly large house, not in Pennsylvania where he and his wife were married, but on the frontier of the new American West. Katzmiller paid $520 for 130 acres, and over time he expanded the estate tenfold. He and his wife raised eight children on the land, and it stayed among the family for upwards of a century.
