Dead woman loving him
from her grave.
Is this the end of love?
In the weeks after her funeral
he would lie across his bed like
a clean shirt that had fallen from
a hanger in the back of a closet.
Even after he learns about her death,
when he knows she is not home or
maybe not in the mood to talk,
he calls on her phone to listen to her voice
on the answering machine
reminding him to leave a message.
Tonight he undresses and decides
to love the dead.
He walks across the room and pulls
her book from the shelf.
On every page a suicide note.
On every page a lullaby.
E. Ethelbert Miller's most recent publication is How We Sleep on the Nights We Don't Make Love (Curbstone, 2004). He lives in Washington, D.C.

Just came in the mail today, more or less forgot that I was even supposed to get this lol.
I haven't been active at all in this game/community since the days of its first release, and so I'm looking forward to getting back into the game a little bit. I definitely want to check out and see how it's progressed. I know that I'm no familiar face to most people here, but hopefully that'll change!

For many, the mere thought of bodywork invokes an involuntary action of searching for a professional to handle the job. Some are talented enough to handle this type of work themselves, but for most turning wrenches on a chassis and engine suits them better. Luckily, our project leader on Project Back to the Street (BTTS), Bob Gonier, is a master at all trades in building muscle cars, and an even bigger bonus is that bodywork is his area of expertise and the subject of the classes he teaches at the Mercer County Technical School.
As a refresher, BTTS is a '71 Camaro that we took hostage and are slowly converting from a dedicated bracket-racing vehicle into a street brawler. It is a task that has required nearly a ground-up attack, and we enlisted the help of Gonier and his students. Up until this point, the body was stripped of its lightweight fiberglass components and replaced with new sheetmetal from National Parts Depot and Ground Up Restorations. Underneath the shell sits Fatman Fabrication G-Tech suspension fore and aft, QA1 coilover adjustable shocks, and Wilwood brakes. Rocket wheels adorn all four corners and are wrapped in Nitto 555 rubber.
Powering this soon-to-be-complete street machine is a GM Performance Parts ZZ454 crate engine. On the engine dyno, it produced 502 hp and 547 lb-ft of torque thanks to a Holley 770-cfm carburetor, 1.5-inch carb spacer, and 2-inch headers. A Level 10 4L80E automatic overdrive transmission and torque converter are bolted to the 454ci big-block.
We turned to a plethora of aftermarket companies to create a street car that will be reliable, capable of hitting the turns hard, and stopping without any drama (again and again). Some might call it a G-machine, but in reality it is our version of the ultimate street cruiser that will run the autocross and hit the drag strip with regularity. This month, Gonier and his students have made sure BTTS is also good-looking to go with its performance. Please don't for a moment think that Gonier did all the work and his students only handed him tools. The story here is that Gonier has the students handle most of the work as he watches over them and instructs them on the proper technique.
He also cautioned us that they began with painting the door jambs first and then they went back and painted the car later. It is not the normal process, but they had to work around the school schedule. The students do not have 12-hour days and must work within the class schedule to accomplish tasks. Gonier needs to modify the process to accommodate their schedule. "It is easier to break things up in sections so the kids can learn how to do it themselves," commented Gonier. He continued, "I prefer to paint the door jambs and the car at the same time to eliminate any and all paint edges but we had to do the jambs first because of our time constraints. The school requires everyone to be out by 5:00 p.m."
Gonier does his best to have the students handle all the work, but some parts of this project were a little over the students' skill level. At that point, Gonier gets his hands dirty and performs his magic, but for the most part the students keep an active roll in the build-up. He worked side-by-side with the students to ensure the body was perfectly straight and ready for paint. They first applied DuPont ChromaPremier sealer and let it dry for an hour. The sealer is used so there is a consistent base to paint on.
Once that dried, the students sprayed three coats of DuPont ChromaPremier Hot Hues basecoat (Jazzy Blue) and three coats of DuPont 7900S clearcoat. They let the car sit for a few days to ensure the paint was dry and then sanded the hood, roof, and trunk so the stripes could be laid on the '71 Camaro. "The program teaches these students basic skills and they did almost all of the bodywork, except laying the stripes," stated Gonier. He went on to tell us that the stripes are within 1/64 inch in variance, front-to-back and side-to-side. He said the students learned how to apply the stripes, but Gonier handled the rulers and tape to ensure the stripes were perfect. He prefers the stripes to be year-specific, so the white paint is '71 GM White. The finishing touch was another layer of DuPont 7900 clearcoat.
Gonier had the students install the crate engine as he readies the car for its trip south to Super Chevy's Tampa headquarters, where the staff will perform the final assembly.

A recycling plant that will recycle up to 2 billion PET bottles a year recently opened this month in Riverside, California. Governor Jerry Brown attended the opening ceremony for the carbonLITE facility that the company says will be the world's largest plastic bottle-to-bottle recycling plant. The 220,000 square foot facility, built at a cost of $58 million, will receive #1 PET bottles from California curbside recycling programs.
Before carbonLITE opened the plant, most of those bottles had been sent to China for processing. Those bottles are generally downcycled in Chinese plants into a low grade polyester fiber. Governor Brown and officials from the companies involved with the recycling plant's construction offered a bevy of reasons why the plant is a huge step forward for recycling and environmental sustainability. The new plant prevents 48 million gallons of natural gas required to make new bottles out of virgin plastic. With plans in 2013 to double its capacity to 4 billion bottles recycled annually, carbonLITE will help the state of California achieve its goal to recycle 75 percent of its waste by 2020. Companies including PepsiCo and Nestlé will also gain because the plant will help their companies meet their recycling objectives. Both companies, in fact, have committed to purchase almost 75 percent of the plant's output.
When the carbonLITE plant reaches full capacity, 100 million pounds of of PET bottles will produce 75 million pounds of food-grade PET pellets annually. Another plant on the east coast is currently under discussion, and Neville Browne, carbonLITE's CEO, said investors from abroad have approached him about investing in similar plants.
The plant was a joint effort between carbonLITE's parent company HPC Industries, Nestlé, PepsiCo, as well as state, county and city governments. The carbonLITE plant also benefitted by Assembly Bill 1149, signed into law by Governor Brown last year. The law provides subsidies, or "market development payments," to manufacturers who use recycled plastic and companies like carbonLITE that fabricate the raw material.

Foxconn employee says Apple placing orders for next iPhone to debut in OctoberThe head of human resources at one Foxconn factory claims that Apple has recently placed an order for its sixth-generation iPhone, and that the device is on schedule to launch in October of 2012.
The official from Foxconn's Taiyuan factory allegedly gave the info and date to South Korea's Maeil Business Newspaper. The original article was translated on Monday by Kotaku.
"We just got the order," the Foxconn human resources head reportedly told the newspaper. "[The release] will be around October."
The paper spoke with the head of human resources because Foxconn's Taiyuan factory has posted many hiring notices of late. The employee confirmed that the factory has been hiring a large number of employees lately as it gears up to assemble Apple's next iPhone.
Rumors have generally pointed toward a fall 2012 launch of the next iPhone, placing it one year after the debut of the iPhone 4S. Last year's iPhone 4S launch was unique because Apple, in years past, had launched new models in the months of June or July.
One report from February claimed that Apple plans to continue to release new iPhone models in the fall for the foreseeable future. Last year's iPhone launch essentially took the place of Apple's annual fall iPod event, but the iPod now represents a much smaller part of Apple's business, which led to it being pushed into the background in 2011.
Apple CEO Tim Cook touring an iPhone production line at a Foxconn plant in Zhengzhou, China, via MIC Gadget.
Apple's decision to launch a new iPhone just before the holiday buying season proved to be a successful strategy. The company sold a record 37 million iPhones during the December quarter, achieving 128 percent unit growth over the 2010 holidays.
The latest report contradicts one from last week in which a different Foxconn employee suggested Apple could launch its next-generation iPhone in June. That person claimed Foxconn's Taiyuan factory was gearing up for an iPhone launch much sooner than October by hiring 18,000 employees.

On the heels of last week's news suggesting that RIM was planning to license out its new operating system, BB10, Samsung has firmly denied any desires to become involved with RIM.
Reuters is reporting that Samsung has told it outright that it "has not considered acquiring Research In Motion or licensing the... new mobile operating system."
Yesterday, shares of RIM rose 5 percent when an analyst predicted that Samsung might be interested in licensing BB10 from RIM. They look set to drop just as quickly.
BB10, which is expected to launch early next year, is perhaps RIM's final shot—but plans to license the software out are ambitious. With Samsung, the biggest and most attractive player who may have considered the proposition, out of the running, it remains to be seen who will dare take the punt. [Reuters]

ISBE rates school districts on their fund balance and expenditure-to-revenue ratios, days of cash on hand, and percentage of remaining short- and long-term borrowing ability.
Of Illinois' 852 school districts, 632, or 74 percent, earned the state's "Financial Recognition" designation, suggesting they are fiscally sound.
The other 26 percent statewide, of 220 districts, received lower marks from ISBE, suggesting they need work:
154 (18 percent) are under "Financial Review"
47 (6 percent) were given an "Early Warning"
19 (2 percent) are under "Financial Watch", including Chicago Public Schools and seven others in the Metro-East.
In Cook County, 128 of the county's 154 school districts (83 percent) earned the "Financial Recognition" designation.
7 districts -- West Harvey-Dixmoor Public School District 147, Bellwood School District 88, Berwyn South School District 100, Burnham School District 154-5, Reavis Township High School District 220, La Grange School District 102, Thornton Township High School District 205 -- were placed under "Early Warning."
18 districts -- Ford Heights School District 169, Argo Community High School District 217, Western Springs School District 101, Wheeling Community Consolidated School District 21, Brookwood School District 167, Homewood School District 153, Prospect Heights School District 23, Komarek School District 94, La Grange School District 105 South, River Grove School District 85.5, Cicero School District 99, Country Club Hills School District 160, Lyons School District 103, Elmwood Park Community Unit School District 401, Elementary School District 159, Evanston-Skokie Community Consolidated School District 65, Evergreen Park Elementary School District 124, Thornton School District 154 -- were placed under "Financial Review."
Chicago Public School District 299 was the only district placed under "Financial Watch."
ISBE reports that districts are increasingly "borrowing to obtain needed cash flow" and "continue to issue long-term debt to sustain day-to-day operations."
Schools are "continuing to break even or are spending more than they are realizing in revenue," the report says.
Illinois public school districts issued $307.2 million in long-term debt in fiscal year 2015 versus $356.5 million in fiscal year 2014. In 2015, 499 -- or 58 percent-- spent more money than they took in, borrowing or using taxpayer-provided reserves to cover the deficit.
ISBE's "School District Financial Profile" was first issued in 2003.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will join Prince Harry at the Tower of London today to each plant a ceramic poppy in an art installation symbolising the thousands of lives lost during the First World War.
The visit to the exhibition, entitled Blood Swept Lands And Seas Of Red, at the Tower's moat comes a day after the Royals joined political leaders and relatives of the fallen in Belgium to remember the sacrifices and losses exactly a century on from Britain's entry into the war.
A moving twilight ceremony at St Symphorien military cemetery near Mons was the highlight of a day of events in the UK and Belgium marking 100 years since the Great War's start.
Today William, Kate and Harry will visit the dry moat at the Tower - the site where more than 1,600 men swore an oath to the crown in August 1914 after enlisting for war.
The first ceramic poppy installed as part of the Historic Royal Palaces artwork was planted last month, and the final will be laid on Armistice Day, November 11.
In total 888,246 ceramic poppies, one for each British and Colonial death during the war, will be installed by a team of 8,000 volunteers.
Profits from the artwork will be divided between six service charities including Help for Heroes and the Royal British Legion.
The royals stood alongside Prime Minister David Cameron and counterparts from countries including France and German at commemorative events yesterday.
Mr Cameron said the Great War, which claimed millions of lives, including 750,000 from the British and Commonwealth, was "unlike any other".
Harry read a letter from Private Michael Lennon, of 1st Battalion the Royal Dublin Fusiliers, dated May 30 1915, who wrote to his brother Frank the day before he was due to land in Gallipoli.
He was killed in action on June 28 1915 - exactly a year after Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo, sparking the war.
In the letter, Pte Lennon wrote: "Well Frank, I suppose we are for it tomorrow, if we don't get shelled on the way."
Performances were heard from a children's choir conducted by Gareth Malone, as well as a recording of a collaboration between the London Symphony Orchestra and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.
As the ceremony - narrated by TV historian Dan Snow - moved to a close, William, King Philippe of Belgium, Mr Cameron, and the German and Irish presidents laid flowers at the obelisk.
The Last Post was sounded, followed by a minute's silence and the reveille, then a lone piper played, after which each of the dignitaries placed a lantern on the obelisk.
St Symphorien is where 229 Commonwealth and 284 German troops are buried, including the first and last British soldiers to die on the Western Front, and the recipient of the first VC of the war.
Before the ceremony, William, Kate, Harry and Mr Cameron attended a reception for guests and met relatives of those buried at the cemetery.
Earlier, William spoke at the Allies' Memorial at Cointe and said: "We were enemies more than once in the last century, and today we are friends and allies."
William and Kate were in Belgium representing the Queen, who attended a service of commemoration in Crathie Kirk in Crathie, Aberdeenshire, near Balmoral.
At 11pm on August 4 1914, Britain declared war on Germany, ushering in four years of darkness, despair and appalling tragedy.
Until the armistice was signed on November 11 1918, soldiers engaged in the bloodiest conflict the world had known.
In the UK to mark its beginning, the Prince of Wales attended a service at Glasgow Cathedral, which was followed by a wreath-laying service and marchpast at the Cenotaph in George Square.
Later Britain was plunged into darkness as lights were switched off for an hour across the country to conclude the day of ceremonies.
At the same time, the Duchess of Cornwall joined senior politicians for a service of solemn commemoration at Westminster Abbey.
Key figures present included Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, former foreign secretary William Hague, Labour leader Ed Miliband and Metropolitan Police commander Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe.
The service included the gradual extinguishing of candles, with an oil lamp snuffed out at the grave of the unknown warrior at 11pm - the exact hour war was declared.
In Afghanistan, personnel from all three services were joined by the US Marine Corps at Camp Bastion to mark the occasion.
Around 400 personnel congregated at the base's Vigil Site for a parade illuminated by the lights of military vehicles and the site itself, before a ceremony presided over by force senior chaplain Wing Commander Geoffrey Withers.

3 years, 20 days
Three years and 20 days ago I had surgery to remove cancer in my *ahem* rear area. As of today, I graduate to a six month check up schedule (as opposed to every three months), and I continue to be cancer free (knock on wood)!
So much has changed since 2009! Here's a quick run down of that year, in order of events:
- there was a memorial service for my Dad, who passed away on New Year's Eve at 15 minutes to midnight
- cleaned out and sold the childhood home where I had been living with Dad
- diagnosed with rectal cancer
- bought my own home for the first time and moved in
- started chemo and radiation
- had surgery
I was incredibly lucky in that SO many people helped me during this time (not the realtors lol, I didn't have a very good experience there). Friends and family from near and far provided support in any way they could and I STILL and always will appreciate that so much!
Today, I'm healthy (mostly…damn weight) and happy (not ALL the time, but the normal amount) and my life is overflowing with … well, LIFE! And I'm very grateful for that.

What are Wall Street analysts saying about Adobe stock? Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Adobe stock: 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Adobe is riding on benefits from Magento and Marketo acquisitions and strong demand for its creative products. It has been making great efforts toward establishing its presence in cloud-related software areas such as documents and marketing. We remain optimistic about Adobe's market position, compelling product lines, continued innovation, solid adoption of Creative Cloud and Adobe marketing cloud. Estimates have been stable lately ahead of the company's Q2 earnings release. The company has mixed record of earnings surprises in recent quarters. However, lower end-market demand and exposure to Europe remain overhangs. High acquisition expenses do not bode well for its bottom line. Notably, the stock has underperformed the industry it belongs to over a year." (5/15/2019) 2. Rosenblatt Securities analysts commented, "We leave SUMMIT with more confidence in the Digital Experience business than before the event and would increase positions on any misperception of weakness from the 1Q19 results. Reiterate BUY and $280 PT." (3/29/2019) 3. Barclays PLC analysts commented, "We respond to each below, and remember that FY19 ARR is going up by $30M organically and we still see a favorable setup on FY20 margins as M&A impact dissipates. PT unchanged." (3/18/2019) Has Adobe been receiving favorable news coverage? Media stories about ADBE stock have been trending positive this week, according to InfoTrie Sentiment Analysis.

I've taken to storing my bike in my office on Fridays, the day in which I'm most likely to bike in normal people clothes. This Friday, the Dean (I work at a university) saw my bike and commented that I had ridden in that day. I assented. He pointed out that it was cold. I agreed. He asked where I rode from. Apparently, he's not a fan of the blog. But he was interested. It wasn't much of a conversation, but it also wasn't the conversation "why is this bike in your office and would you like to put your things in this box because you are fired because this is unprofessional." My workplace, and I'm really lucky in this regard, is ludicrously bike friendly and I am so grateful. I think that along with the accouterments (the bike parking, the showers, the bike commuter benefits) and perhaps even more important than them, the overall attitude about bike commuting at the workplace can play a really big role in one decision to keep doing it. I don't know what it's like where you work (unless you work where I work), but I think that everyday having to face "you BIKED HERE?" and "This one time, this biker totally was a jerk" would be really dispiriting and highlight an unwelcome othering that would only make me question my choices to bike. This just serves to highlight the need to develop a culture of bike friendliness (or tolerance or acceptance) alongside developing the physical infrastructures associated with it. Until, of course, bike commuting becomes totally mundane and then we can all go back to not caring, as is appropriate at the workplace.
I left work, rode down Massachusetts and turned right at 23rd on my way to L. I think I'm going to start going to 21st. Maybe it will be better. Remember when I used to take Q Street? That was, like, forever ago. I don't miss it. Q Street does have a bike lane, but L Street has a cycle track and the latter is much better than the former. When I ride on L Street, in spite of its deficiencies (the flex posts should be replace by a curb), I feel so much more relaxed than do I in a standard white-stripe-only bike lane. I exhale. I wish we had more of these. Maybe wemoveDC will do something about this, but I'm worried that it won't. Anything multimodal that supersedes/replaces a Bicycle Master Plan isn't, by definition, likely to put bicycles at the fore. So, we'll see.
On Pennsylvania Avenue.
|Wait, he's not gonna do this, right?
|You suck.
Easy ride up the hill after juking a tourist (I was just trying to go to the right, but I was glad to test of the ol' shake-n-bake on you) and then not much longer until home. I think I got passed at a stop light by another guy on a bike, but I don't remember the exact details. I think it had something to do with a minivan parked in a bike lane. Such is the way of the biking world sometimes.

I'm developing an app that automatically captions photos. One of the main results of a usability survey was that users would insert a funny personalized comment in their captions.
In order to give a personalized feel to the computer generated captions, I was thinking about having a fixed set of "funny comments" and randomly add one to each caption.
Captions have the following template:
<name1> <name2> and <name3> <smiling> near <place> during <event>. <month> '<year>, <city>. <funny_comment>
Kate, Pete and John smiling near Big Ben during the City of London Festival. Jul '10, London.
I was thinking about adding,
- Great photo!
- Very artistic!
- Lookin' great!
- Beautiful!
- Inspirational
<event>was better last year...
- I love this place
- [if
<month>is winter] it's getting cold
- [if
<name>is quite happy in this one
Is there a better way to go about this? What else could I add as funny personalized comment? Users can naturally edit the generated captions.

Courtney Love Comments on Kurt Cobain Book Written by Ex-Hole Bandmate
Courtney Love has apparently approved a forthcoming book about Kurt Cobain written by her former Hole bandmate Eric Erlandson, on the condition he leaves out details of the relationship between himself and Love.
Love isn't usually the one to give her blessing to any new project involving her late husband Kurt Cobain, but she has given the thumbs up to a new book about the Nirvana frontman written by Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson. 'Letters to Kurt' will hit book stores on April 8 — three days after the 18th anniversary of Cobain's death — and will be comprised of poetry, "reflections on rock n' roll, drug abuse and the loss of Cobain."
Where Love would usually come out in the press and bash the upcoming literary venture, she surprised everyone by giving it her approval. "I wish him well. Even more than Dave [Grohl] and [Krist] Novoselic, Eric was family," Love told the New York Daily News. "I just hope he didn't write that we dated. We had sex, yes, but I don't date."
After 'Letters to Kurt' is published, Love may take issue with the book, as some details of their relationship may have been mentioned. "Up until September of last year, October, she was asking me to play with her. But I felt like there was no transformation in our relationship at all. So that kind of worked its way into the book," reveals Erlandson. "I never mentioned to her that I had written the book, and I'm sure she's heard of it now."

3 men, car sought in possible abduction
Boy found walking along Beltway exit ramp
Baltimore police are searching for three men wanted in a possible abduction over the weekend.
City police said officers were called shortly before 10:30 pm.. Friday to the 8700 block of Pulaski Highway, where they found a 12-year-old boy walking down an eastbound exit ramp from the Beltway.
Investigators said the boy may have been abducted from the 1100 block of East Pratt Street, where he had left a friend's house to return home. Instead, a car pulled up at the intersection of Exeter and Pratt streets and either passengers took the boy, or the boy got into the car. Police did not immediately specify those circumstances.
Police described the car as a possible 2010 four-door, dark blue or navy Toyota Corolla with a black interior and a possible Pennsylvania license plate with a silver frame.
Police are also searching for three men in the case, described as follows:
-- A black man in his mid 20s who is 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 185 pounds. He had shoulder-length braids and gold fronts on his top teeth. He was last seen wearing a hooded sweatshirt and black pants or jeans.
-- A man sitting in the back seat was described as black, in his late 20s who is 5 feet 10 inches tall with a muscular build. He has a short haircut. He was last seen wearing a white hooded sweatshirt with the letters "HCO" in black on the chest with a bird logo, black pants or jeans and light brown or copper colored Nike Foamposite shoes.
-- A third man was described as white, in his early 20s with long brown hair in a pony tail or braids or both. He has brown eyes with teardrop tattoos by both eyes. He was last seen wearing a green Polo shirt with an orange horse logo.
If you have any information regarding this investigation, call Baltimore City police.

2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk First Look
Jeep goes small at the Geneva International Motor Show
The 2015 Jeep Renegade and Jeep Renegade Trailhawk made a splash in the international subcompact market when they were unveiled at the 2014 Geneva International Motor Show. As Jeep's first foray into the small SUV segment, the 2015 Jeep Renegade also represents Jeep's first vehicle designed for the global market, which is probably why it's also the first new Jeep vehicle ever unveiled outside of the United States.
For the world stage, the 2015 Jeep Renegade and Renegade Trailhawk will offer up to 16 different powertrain combinations, including four MultiAir gasoline engines and fuel-efficient 1.6L or 2.0L MultiJet turbodiesels with advanced stop-start technology. However, for the US market engine choices will be limited to either the turbocharged 1.4L MultiAir Turbo or normally aspirated 2.4L MultiAir2 Tigershark gas engines backed by either a six-speed manual or nine-speed automatic transmission.
The styling of the new 2015 Jeep Renegade includes familiar cues taken from Wrangler, Cherokee, and other iconic models in the Jeep family's past. Things like Jeep's iconic seven-slat grille, round headlights, trapezoidal wheel arches, and even a My Sky open-air roof system that promises to deliver the open-air driving vibe of the early topless CJs from the brand's beginnings.
But enough is enough. The internet will soon be awash with regurgitations of the official 2015 Jeep Renegade press release. What you wanna know about is what a real off-road Jeep enthusiast thinks of it. Honestly, it could be worse. Yes, the standard Renegade is a cute-ute. But the simple fact that a Trailhawk version of it exists speaks to Jeep's commitment to honor its heritage as a builder of off-road capable vehicles. With only a 20:1 low range and a ride height only 0.8 inches taller than its Renegade sister, the Renegade Trailhawk is not a hardcore wheeler. The 215/65R17 Goodyear SR-A tires don't offer the bite of an aggressive mud-terrain tire, but they're far better fare than the rolling stock offered on other offerings in the market segment. We like the Renegade Trailhawk's skidplate package, increased departure and approach angles, increased ride height, the addition of a "Rock" mode to the Active Drive Low full-time T-case other settings of Auto, Snow-Sand, and Mud, and especially the red towhooks.
Here's the thing about towhooks these days. Auto manufacturers need to meet increasingly strict frontal crash rating, so it's not like they can just slap on any old set of tow hooks for aesthetics. The engineers at Jeep had to really put a lot of thought and effort into creating a tow hook that fits the Jeep Renegade chassis, that could pull 1.5 times the vehicle's gross loaded weight, and that would still fold on impact in case of a crash. They're probably some of the most expensive damn towhooks ever made. So why bother? Because it's a Jeep. And if it wears a Jeep badge it's gotta have Jeep capability.
So, yeah, even though it's not a diesel Wrangler (although there was a CRD Rubicon at the Geneva show), it's still not a Nissan Juke. It's not the most off-road capable vehicle to ever wear a Jeep badge. But it's certainly the most capable vehicle in the arena which it's meant to compete. The 2015 Jeep Renegade and Renegade Trailhawk don't go on sale in North America until early 2015, but we'll provide a more in-depth analysis and our honest impressions of its capabilities as soon as we can get behind the wheel of one.

CORNING, N.Y. (AP) -- Corning Inc. says it plans a $250 million expansion of its diesel plant in an upstate New York town, adding 250 jobs to the 500 already at the facility.
The company says the plant in the Steuben County town of Erwin makes emission control products used in heavy-duty diesel engine trucks and agricultural equipment. It says the plant has already been expanded twice to meet global demand since it started making the products in 2004.
The 94,000 square-foot project announced Thursday is expected to be completed by 2015.

Avalanche – Draftmasters?
The always intrepid folks at The Hockey News – the Bible of Hockey – had some interesting facts in their NHL Draft preview, which I encourage anybody who is serious about the game to go get at your newsstand (full disclosure: I do freelance work with them, have for a long time).
According to the issue is a fact I didn't know: The Avalanche not only has the most number of players of any NHL team still playing for them who were actually drafted by the team (14), but there are more currently active players in the NHL who were originally drafted by the Avs (31) than any other team.
That's a tribute, of course, to the team's scouting staff. For a few years, the Avs' drafting record was a topic of criticism. Or, do you not remember such first-round picks as Mikhail Kuleshov, Kevin Grimes, Jonas Johansson or Vaclav Nedorost?
The Avs will have the 17th pick in the first round of next month's NHL Draft in Los Angeles, June 25-26.
The Hockey News does a top-60 list of prospects every year, so let's take a look at the No. 17 guy in the current Draft Preview issue:
That would be:
Emerson Etem – 6-0, 190, native of Long Beach, Calif. Etem is a center who played for Medicine Hat of the WHL last year, and had 37 goals and 65 points in 72 games. In the issue, it is said that "Etem has been compared to Taylor Hall (expected to be the No. 1 pick) in terms of skating ability."
We'll see what happens.
– Here's my take on Steve Yzerman leaving the Red Wings to be the GM of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Wow.
– There was a report that the Avs have signed prospect Jonas Holos to a two-year contract. But that is not officially the case yet.
Avs inform me that a deal has not been signed. Not that a deal won't still happen (it probably will, sounds like). But it is not a fact.
– I can't decide who I think will win the Stanley Cup. Both teams are at the top of their games right now. My hunch, though, is that this miraculous Philly team is going to find a way. How fun will it be to see Ian Laperriere in the Finals?

It's time to have a heart-to-heart with your doctor. What better time than during American Heart Health Month? Keeping your heart strong is the foundation of a healthy life – and your doctor wants you to know that. Your doctor also wants you to know how you can better take care of your heart so you can prevent and avoid conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, heart failure and even a heart attack.
In honor of heart month, let's take a look at some of the top cardiovascular facts your doctor wants you to know so you can live a healthier life:
- Heart health isn't just about the physical things.
Did you know that happiness and a strong sense of emotional vitality help lower risk of cardiovascular disease? It's true – your emotional and mental well-being play a direct role in the health of your heart, so make sure you're focusing just as much on improving those aspects of your life as you are on the physical components.
- Your heart is about the size of your two hands clasped together, and it beats up to 1,000 times per day.
Your doctor wants you to know and understand how amazing your heart truly is. This organ is responsible for keeping you alive by pumping blood throughout your body day after day. From four weeks after conception to the day you die, your heart beats continuously. No wonder it's so crucial to take care of it.
- The single most important key to heart health is exercise.
Yes, other factors like a healthy diet and family history are important, but exercise is the number one thing you can do to improve the function and lifespan of your heart. Physical activity should be a regular component of your lifestyle, no matter your age, physical condition, flexibility, etc. Even walking is a great source of activity for your heart.
- We wish you'd care for your heart more because heart disease is the biggest threat to your health.
Yes, it's a bigger threat than cancer. Although breast cancer (for women) and prostate cancer (for men) are common, they're not quite as common as heart disease (especially for women.) Keep that in mind when you think about the areas you should care for most in terms of your health.
- There is such a thing as heart cancer, but it's extremely rare.
Ever wonder why you hear so much about cancer and heart disease, but never "heart cancer"? That's because cancer spreads when cells divide and multiply, and since the cells of the heart stop dividing early in life, it's not likely to turn into cancer.
- Your heart does more work than any other muscle in your body.
Think your thighs are burning after those 25 squats you just did? That's nothing compared to the hard work your heart has to do over the course of its life. The power output of the heart ranges from one to five watts. The quads can produce 100 watts for a few minutes, but the output of one watt for 80 years is equal to 2.5 gigajoules. That's a lot of power coming from one small organ.
You've probably heard it before, but it's time to finally take this message to heart. Hear your doctor out. Take the necessary steps to make the lifestyle adjustments that will benefit the health of your heart. You want it to work hard for you as long as possible, right? Do what you can do make it happen.
For more information about heart health, find a top doctor near you.

For those of you who who have not participated in a ReDraft, we do a fantasy draft of all the players in the league and we determine the best team later on. The rules and all that cool jazz will be up later. I have enough time now to run this thing (finals almost over).
Please note that it is not first come first serve, and also people who want to co with other people might have to take their own team if not enough people sign up.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PM OR VM ME. There will be questions, especially about eligibility of players. I will not be participating as a GM in this ReDraft as I am busy with other things. I will be asking for help from various players again, however.1. Which team do you want?
2. Back-up team(s)?
3. Any teams you absolutely do not want?
4. Which forums do you post in?
5. Have you ever participated in a PSD game before?
6. Interested in being part of the trade committee?
After some long thought, we will go with however many GMs sign up. While I would like to reach 30 teams, if it's not possible we will carry on with less teams. So please sign up again! Thanks.

When Does God Turn on Us?
I was contemplating the statements of a recent comment in which the person indicated, in a macabre Jack Chicksian sort of way, that in the afterlife God would be stamping on heathen faces until the blood splattered on His clothing.
What is it about Death that makes God so mad at us?
Read more…
Traditional Christianity paints a picture of a God that is extremely interested in humanity's well being. This is a God that is so concerned about how the world is turning out, that it is willing to kill every single living creature, preserving only a miniscule amount, in the hopes that the conditions in which humanity survives will improve. (Gen. 6:21)
This is a God that is willing to kill millions of people in order to preserve an ethnic group to provide means of a possible resolution for some. (Ten Plagues)
This is a God that performed the ultimate act of humility, literally giving up its God-like abilities and powers for a time, in the hopes that some will learn of him. (Phil. 2:6) A God that committed to the greatest act of love every known in the entire course of history, by somehow killing itself, in order to save me. (John 15:13) A God that is patiently waiting and hoping that I will recognize him as God. (2 Pet. 3:9)
Christianity paints a picture of a God, that for time eternal has moved and turned the course of historical events, in the hopes that I (along with other humans) will be restored to a relationship with him. A God that has interacted, wept, begged, pleaded, sweated, strained, bled and died on the chance that I could be saved. A God that has withheld its own sense of justice, and has patiently and continually restrained itself, in an act of mercy, on the hopes that I will find Him.
Until I die.
Then it is a no-holds-barred, full frontal assault of excruciating pain, misery and punishment for all time.
Jesus: Father, you know I died for that DagoodS fellow. Here are the nail prints in my hands. I can re-play the events of my death, all for this person to come to you.
God: Well….
Jesus: I am begging you; pleading with you. It is for him that I stripped myself of God-hood, became a mere human, suffered, and was horribly tortured. Worse, I was separated from you—something I have never experienced and never will again. A new experience for a God—all in the off-chance that you will call him to us. (John 6:44)
God: You make a good point. Maybe—
Angel One: psst. Jesus? Sorry. DagoodS just died.
Jesus: What? Oh, never mind, God. Whoopee! He just died! Put on the Golf cleats. It is face-stomping time. Oh, this is the best part of the job. Maybe this time I can get a good one meter splatter!
Does that really make sense? Christianity claims a God that can muster a universe, is so loving it performs a sacrifice unlike any heard of before or since, but somehow death makes God turn a bit ugly. He is unable to maintain that loving attitude after we die.
What, exactly, is the lake of fire for? Punishment?
Punishment (as we understand it) comprises of four elements—punish the wrongdoer, rehabilitate the wrongdoer, recompense the victim, and be a deterrent to the general society.
Hell certainly won't rehabilitate us. We have no second chance. Nothing about our getting better. No "time off for good behavior." No opportunity to re-enter society. Rehabilitation is not it.
It is useless as a deterrent. In order to be a deterrent, one must be firmly convinced of hell's existence. The only ones that believe in hell are the ones that aren't going there! (Ever think about that?)
Remember when our moms told us that if we crossed our eyes, they would stay that way? Perhaps I was the only gullible five-year-old, but a small part of me was concerned. Sure, I had never seen people with permanent cross-eyes. I have never seen sad documentaries of people who had crossed their eyes against their mother's advice, and it became permanent.
Yet it was a defective deterrent. We might still cross our eyes, but never for very long. Just in case…
But now that I am an adult, it is an ineffective deterrent. I now realize that my eyes won't stay that way. In order for punishment to be effective, we must be convinced it will happen. (Part of the reason that punishment in society remains a generally ineffective deterrent is that criminals always presume they will not get caught. They don't believe it will be imposed, either.)
How can hell compensate a victim? The people that suffered from the effects of immoral acts would either
a) be in Heaven; or
b) be in Hell.
Is it claimed that victims in Heaven are slowing improving their position, when those who harmed them are suffering? Or are victims in hell also lessening their suffering while the criminal is suffering more?
And no, God cannot be "compensated" by making people suffer. That would make God wanting. Less than perfect. Incomplete. In need of something. (And it makes a curious kind of victim that can ONLY be compensated through inflicting pain on others.)
That leaves us with punishment. A penalty imposed for doing something wrong.
What did we do wrong? Was it the fact we sin? Or that we did not believe correctly?
As to sinning—we have no option there. All humans sin. God is punishing us for being human. Is it appropriate to punish us for something we have no choice over? None of us can "choose" to be non-human. We cannot discard our humanity.
If God is going to make us roast in fire…er…excuse, me, stomp on our face for being Human, there is not much I can do about it. Makes Jesus' coming a bit of a waste, frankly. How did his dying on the cross make some people non-human?
Bottom line-we will be punished for not believing correctly. This all fits together nicely with Romans 10:9—believe: you go to heaven. Don't: you go to hell.
Apparently, though, belief after death doesn't count. Being confronted with real evidence, with physical confirmation does not qualify. The only belief that counts is that which is specifically performed without evidence.
The only way I get to keep my face intact is to believe without evidence. If believing with evidence is sufficient, then death would not be necessary as a cut-off.
I am to be punished eternally because God deliberately did not give me evidence. O.K. Sucks to be me, but if that is the way it is, so be it. Just don't try and sell the idea that God loves me, or is moved with compassion or is even remotely considerate toward me. At best, he is gleefully looking forward to the day to inflict tremendous pain on me (and others) and is only holding off in some sort of perverse sense of anticipation.
OR, is it more possible that since the Bible is made up of conflicting authors, we have conflicting pictures of this God. Some authors desired to focus on a loving, benevolent, forgiving God. Some authors focused on a God imposing some sort of "ultimate justice." When the two concepts were placed together in an anthology, we end up with a creepy dual-personality type God that makes a hard right turn upon human death.

Sponsored in part by Earlham Student Development, this CIRP survey is conducted annually during New Student Orientation.
This survey, which takes place at the end of a student's first year, is helpful in assessing factors that are important to first-year student academic performance, adjustment, retention, and success. View the results from the 2013 survey.
The annual NSSA survey collects data from first-year students at the end of their academic year, assessing the extent to which undergraduate students are involved in educational practices empirically linked to high levels of learning and development.
In an effort to make it easier for people on and off campus to talk productively about student engagement and its importance to student learning, collegiate quality, and institutional improvement, NSSE uses benchmarks of effective educational practice. Each year, NSSE calculates benchmark scores to monitor performance at the institutional, sector, and national level, comparing benchmarks to "peer institutions." In 2009, these institutions were Carleton College, Centre College, Franklin and Marshall College, Kalamazoo College, Lafayette College, Oberlin College, Occidental College, Rhodes College and Scripps College.
