TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada's Hudson's Bay Co (HBC.TO) is set to raise C$365 million ($367 million) in its initial public stock offering, well below the department store operator's original target of about C$400 million.
HBC has priced the offering of 21.48 million shares at C$17 apiece - at the bottom of the company's already lowered range of C$17 to C$18. The offering price pegs its market capitalization at about C$2 billion.
The shares began trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Tuesday on a "when-issued" basis, sliding 1.5 percent from the offer price to C$16.75. The stock is trading under the symbol "HBC," the same as it did before going private in 2006.
Trading volume in the stock was significant, with more than 3 million shares changing hands by 1400 ET, making HBC one of the 10 most actively traded stocks on the TSX.
"This gives you an indication of where people would buy and sell the stock today ... But it is only the more speculative people trading in the market right now, not a full complement of players," said one trader, who does not own any position in the stock but asked to remain unnamed.
All trades in the stock executed ahead of the official close of the offering have to be matched and settled, as and when the offering officially closes. If the offering fails to close for any reason, all these trades will be considered as null and void.
HBC said in a statement late on Monday that the TSX has conditionally approved its listing. The stock is slated to start trading officially on the anticipated closing date of November 26.
The company, which owns two venerable chains, Lord & Taylor in the United States and Hudson's Bay in Canada, originally aimed for an offering price of C$18.50 to C$21.50 a share.
The department store operator faces stiff competition. In the United States, Lord & Taylor competes with a resurgent Macy's Inc (M.N); in Canada, HBC faces competition from Target Corp (TGT.N) and other U.S. companies that are keen to expand their retail footprint.
Founded in 1670, Hudson's Bay was a fur trading business long before it operated department stores, running trading posts across what is now Canada. It went private in 2006 as shoppers flocked to specialty retailers and U.S.-based heavyweights such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N).
NRDC Equity Partners, controlled by U.S. real estate investor Richard Baker and his family, bought out HBC's other investors in 2008, and integrated it with Lord & Taylor, which operates 48 stores across the United States.
HBC said the IPO will result in gross proceeds to the company of about C$250 million, and proceeds to selling shareholders of about C$115 million. Net proceeds to the company will be used to repay debt, HBC said.

What happens to him now with the drafting of OT Mike Adams?
What happens to him now with the drafting of OT Mike Adams?
He'll be the starter at camp, and if he's beaten out he'll be the swing man.
No way they cut him after he agreed to re-work, not their style.
He has a year. But he's on a timer. Why is it the espn isn't showing highlights?
another season ending injury before the season starts
He will play somewhere especially before Legursky and Foster if he is beaten out by Adams
Do you think in the long run Adams will play LT and Gilbert will stay at RT?
Gilbert Decastro Pouncey Colon Adams
How do you put a guy who is projected to be a natural LT at RT,switch a 1st year player who held his own at RT to LT and a veteran RT who never played G in the NFL at G before the season even starts?Gilbert Decastro Pouncey Colon Adams
I wish people would/could leave politics out of a Steelers Football Forum.
Gilbert is starting the year at LT, this is not a guess. We have been told this. Adams struggles with speed rushers. How do I know? Because I actually watched him play. He will need at least a season to adjust before he protects Bens blindside. He can play RT and may even be more than serviceable there. Colon has been talked about at guard for years, and when Colbert was questioned about it, he left that option open.
I know, Ive read this also & Im not looking to argue with youWe have been told this.
This was obviously told to us before we drafted a LT.
Hey anything can happen before the season but if works hard like he told Colbert he would, I have faith.
I wish people would/could leave politics out of a Steelers Football Forum.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. - The Colorado Rapids settled for their fifth consecutive draw on Saturday night, wasting the first goal of the season from Conor Casey en route to a to a 1-1 deadlock against Sporting Kansas City at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
Ryan Smith scored his first goal of the year in the 75th minute to cancel out Casey's goal in the 13th minute and help Sporting (1-6-2) snap a five-game losing streak.
Colorado (4-3-6), meanwhile, are unbeaten in their last seven games, but have not won since May 4.
Casey, enjoying only his second start in almost two months as he recovers from a hamstring injury, latched onto a poor back pass from Sporting KC defender Aurelien Collin in the early going, edged his way around goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen and slid the ball left-footed towards the goal.
Sporting defender Matt Besler could not deflect the ball away and helped it in.
Collin made another poor pass across goal in the 63rd minute which eventually led to a wide-open opportunity for Jeff Larentowicz. The Rapids midfielder, however, skied the ball over the bar from inside the box with just Nielsen to beat.
The miss proved costly not long after, as Smith found ample room on the left of the Rapids penalty area and finished well into the top right corner past goalkeeper Matt Pickens.
Andre Akpan, who came on as a second half substitute, nearly found the final touch on a couple of occasions late but was unable to convert, while Sporting striker Teal Bunbury skied a chance over the bar from close range during stoppage time.
There was some light on the horizon for the Rapids' injury situation, as Caleb Folan came off the bench with about 20 minutes to go for a run up top with Casey. Folan had been out injured with a groin problem since May 7.
But the curse struck again with the unfortunate Joseph Nane injuring his right shoulder in the 54th minute after coming on as a second half substitute for Sanna Nyassi. Marvell Wynne was also absent from the game for the final minutes as the Rapids played one man short.
The Rapids return to action against Philadelphia on June 4 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, while Sporting play at Toronto FC in the final road game before opening the new Livestrong Sporting Park on June 9 against Chicago.
Scoring Summary:
COL -- Conor Casey 1 (unassisted) 13
KC -- Ryan Smith 1 (Teal Bunbury 2) 75
Sporting KC -- Jimmy Nielsen, Michael Harrington, Matt Besler, Aurelien Collin, Seth Sinovic (Ryan Smith 46), Chance Myers, Omar Bravo (Birahim Diop 85), Davy Arnaud, Craig Rocastle, Graham Zusi, C.J. Sapong (Teal Bunbury 54).

An American flag flies over the rubble of the collapsed World Trade Center buildings in New York in this Sept. 13, 2001, file photo.
ASSOCIATED PRESS Enlarge
Ten years later it still doesn't make sense.
Passenger jets slicing through a beautiful blue late-summer morning and hurtling into the World Trade Center, plowing into the Pentagon, and falling to earth in a Pennsylvania field. Two of the most recognizable symbols of commerce buckling and tumbling to the ground like broken toys. Everyday folks on a place transforming into heroes and sacrificing their own lives so that others would survive the day.
The people who died in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, were accountants and secretaries, firefighters and police officers, IT workers, janitors, and soldiers. They were husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, children and grandparents, uncles and aunts, and lovers and friends, all going about their days exactly like the rest of us, reveling in the mudnade sense of purpose that we take for granted until we see it snatched away from someone else.
One minute you're drinking coffee and telling a coworker about your weekend. The next, you're standing at an open window 90 stories over New York, desperately gasping for your last breaths and facing a horrifying choice.
The thought is so sobering and raw and real that those of us who lived through that day -- from the grieving family members to everyone who watched from afar -- will never be the same.
We are scarred and battered, and the event was so big that sometimes it feels like just now we're finally dusting ourselves off as a nation. Since 9/11 there have been two wars that caused the deaths of thousands of Americans, Iraqis, and Afghans. The financial markets collapsed, a recession rocked the economy, and we've become mired in political dysfunction that illustrates just how self-absorbed and short-sighted we've become as a nation.
A person falls from the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York, in this Sept. 11, 2001. file photo.
ASSOCIATED PRESS Enlarge
Remember after 9/11 when politicians from both sides of the aisle vowed to work together? Remember that patriotism was defined in its most basic form as a love of country and a commitment to pulling together in the face of adversity so that we all would be stronger? Remember the firefighters and police officers who waded back into those buildings to try to save lives?
Somehow we seem to have lost all of that good will, which is its own form of tragedy.
The question, 10 years later, still seems to be: Where do we go from here? Do we shrug and think, "Gee, I hope that never happens again …" as we turn away and scream at a linebacker to kill someone on the other team? Do we tune in to our favorite ideologue and nod stupidly when he or she points fingers at the other side and says, "It's all their fault. … "?
Or do we look back at 9/11 and see examples of what we're capable of as individuals and as a nation?
That was a day a handful of brave Americans on United Airlines' Flight 93 pieced together what was going on thousands of feet below them and made the conscious decision to risk everything -- to never see their children or their spouses again or hold a baby or hug a parent -- to prevent more people from dying.
No doubt there were Republicans and Democrats among those who charged the terrorists and no doubt those philosophical divisions were meaningless in those moments.
That was a day hundreds of New York City firefighters and police officers didn't flinch when they were called to do an impossible job -- fight a jet-fuel fire in a burning skyscraper dozens of stories above Manhattan.
As heroic as their actions were, it's a safe bet that none of them thought, "Today, I will be a hero." Instead, they were simply doing their jobs as best they could.
No doubt there were liberals and conservatives among them, men and women who argued about politics and social issues in the engine houses and squad rooms, and no doubt their disagreements were meaningless when those buildings were burning.
Visitors overlook the temporary memorial to Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pa.
ASSOCIATED PRESS Enlarge
That was a day that across the country millions of people did small things to help the folks suffering in New York, at the Pentagon, and in Pennsylvania. We moved toward the disaster and the family members rather than away from them. In the weeks after 9/11, New Yorkers continued to risk their lives cleaning up the massive mess, and people from all over the country pitched in however they could.
In the midst of that tragedy, our true nature as a nation was revealed. Tapping back into commitment could give us hope that there's a way out of our current mess and provide a road map for handling the inevitable disasters that will occur in the future.
Think of it like this:
Who cares about ideological differences or abstract interpretations of public policy when you just want your husband or wife to walk through that door for the first time in 10 years and tell you it has all been an awful nightmare?
We owe it to those people, we owe it to the thousands who died on Sept. 11, 2001, and we owe it to ourselves to use the anniversary of 9/11 each year to reboot our real patriotism -- not the kind that involves shooting off fireworks while listening to classic rock -- and think about what's best for the country and what's best for our neighbors, not what's necessarily best for ourselves.
Perhaps then it will all start to make sense.

We all know photo sharing is nothing new - it's been around as long as photos have been around and that's a long long time! So what's all the buzz around mobile photo sharing now? Are people all jumping on the bandwagon to share their mobile photos? Instagram just passed 1M users within 3 months of their launch. Path introduced somewhat controversial private group sharing with 50 friends limit. And LiveShare by Cooliris just launched the first flexible private group sharing service for photos. Which brings us to question, are users more likely to resort to private streams? Is that where we are headed - small, intimate groups? What does it mean for the overall social graph(s) we have been building for the past years?
Come and join in on the discussion around mobile photo sharing, the hottest topic in Silicon Valley.

By Ben Hayward | Spanish Football Writer
Jose Mourinho had come prepared. When COPE journalist Fernando Burgos dared to ask the Real Madrid coach about the goalkeeping situation on Tuesday, he came under an unexpected attack from the Portuguese.
Burgos asked Mourinho if he was concerned by the fact that Madrid had conceded goals in their last seven matches, something which had not previously occurred in the 50-year-old's tenure, apparently alluding to a possible recall for the fit-again Iker Casillas in place of January signing Diego Lopez.
In his reply, Mourinho accused the journalist of 'bias' towards the club captain, with whom the reporter is said to be friendly, and produced an article written years earlier by the broadcaster in which he had stated that players should be picked on merit alone, not because of their reputation. He also remembered that Lopez had been on fine form since his arrival in January. Case closed. At least for now, anyway.
|Mourinho had been looking for a reaction from his frontmen and he got it on Wednesday. Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain have been below their best this term after playing an important part in last season's Liga triumph, but both came good against Galatasaray with a goal apiece and their coach was happy after the match. "The goals will be good for their confidence," he said, while also hinting that it is up to their team-mates to create more chances, adding: "It is easier for them when the team plays well."
Either way, the return to form for the two men is timely. Higuain impressed for Argentina in the recent international break, but Benzema's woes with France continued. Here, they both played their part and lifted the burden on Cristiano Ronaldo, who also scored but was not the only one of the forwards on form, as he has been so often in 2013.
And so, the questions have kept coming. Luckily for Mourinho, though, Diego Lopez has all the answers. The Galician goalkeeper turned in another dynamic display on Wednesday as he kept out everything that was aimed at him, making a superb save in each half to give the team a precious clean sheet ahead of next week's trip to Istanbul. In the first half, the 31-year-old brilliantly denied Emmanuel Eboue with his feet just before the interval and he then got down low to his right in the second period to keep out a long-range effort from Selcuk Inan. Lopez also came off his line several times to deal with the aerial threat of Didier Drogba and again proved his worth in such fixtures.
Mourinho was content. "Diego Lopez is much more in form than Casillas," he said afterwards. And it is impossible to argue otherwise. Bringing back the captain at this stage would only disrupt a winning team and upset the harmony. It would also send out the wrong message to the other players - that hierarchy comes before form.
Lopez, who came through the youth system at Madrid before making his name at Villarreal, has barely put a foot wrong since his return on a permanent deal from Sevilla in January. Aside from one error in the 2-1 win at Deportivo La Coruna in February, the new man has been in flawless form since he made his debut against Barcelona in the teams' Copa del Rey semi-final first leg at the end of January.
His arrival also coincided with an uplift in Madrid's performances as they twice beat Barcelona last month and then knocked Manchester United out of the Champions League in the last 16. "Diego Lopez was the best player in my team," Mourinho mused after the success at Old Trafford, when Madrid came from behind to win 2-1 and held on thanks to a number of superb stops from their goalkeeper.
And Sir Alex Ferguson agreed. "Casillas wouldn't have saved the shots that the boy Lopez did," the Scot said. "Going out to Danny Welbeck, going down at Robin van Persie, coming out and whacking [Nemanja] Vidic in the head. Casillas isn't that type of goalkeeper and that saved them, having that type of goalkeeper."
And it is just that kind of goalkeeper that Mourinho admires. The Portuguese also has healthy respect for Casillas, even if the two have not always seen eye to eye, but given Diego Lopez's fine form in recent weeks, dropping the Galician - in games of this magnitude - would be simply unthinkable at the moment. So Iker will have to wait.

Brad & Angelina High Tail it to the Hamptons
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie high tail it out of New York City and catch a helicopter ride to a charity dinner in the Hamptons on Saturday afternoon.
The wind created by the helicopter blades blew up the back of Angelina's blouse, revealing her lower back tattoo. She toted around her fave handbag of late — the Valentino braided leather shoulder bag.
As reported earlier this week, the Hamptons dinner is to raise funds for Brad's work in helping rebuild New Orleans.
Earlier in the day, Angelina took the kids to Central Park.

Combined Company to Create Diversified Portfolio of Precious Metals and Base Metals Projects in Fiji, Australia, and Argentina
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 21, 2012) - Lion One Metals Limited (TSX VENTURE:LIO)(OTCQX:LOMLF)(FRANKFURT:LY1) ("Lion One") and Perth, Australia-based Avocet Resources Limited (ASX:AYE) ("Avocet") are pleased to announce that they have executed a Merger Implementation Agreement ("MIA") pursuant to which Lion One proposes to acquire all of the issued shares in Avocet by way of Scheme of Arrangement ("Scheme").
Under the proposed merger, shareholders of Avocet will receive 1 share of Lion One for every 9.5 shares held in Avocet.1 Based on the closing price of Lion One shares on December 19, 2012, the merger implies an offer price of A$0.072 per Avocet share,2 representing a premium of 28.73% to the closing price of Avocet shares on December 20, 2012, and a premium of 28.07% to the 60-day volume-weighted average price of Avocet shares for the period ending December 20, 2012. Under the terms of the MIA, Lion One will issue, subject to regulatory approval, 11,106,772 common shares, representing 18.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company.
Combined assets of the merged Lion One and Avocet entity (the "Merged Entity") will include:
Board of Directors' Recommendations
The independent directors of Avocet recommend that Avocet shareholders vote in favour of the merger in the absence of a superior proposal for Avocet and subject to an independent expert concluding that the Scheme is in the best interests of Avocet shareholders.
Transaction Structure and Terms
Under the proposal, Lion One will acquire all the issued ordinary shares of Avocet by way of the Scheme, where eligible Avocet shareholders will receive 1 Lion One share for every 9.5 Avocet shares held. On completion of the Scheme, Avocet shareholders and Lion One shareholders will hold approximately 18.5% and 81.5%, respectively, of the issued common shares of the Merged Entity (assuming that no options are exercised by Avocet or Lion One option holders). Lion One shareholders will continue to hold their existing Lion One common shares.
The merger is subject to Australian Court and Avocet shareholder approvals, with respect to Avocet shares, and TSX Venture Exchange approval with respect to new shares of Lion One created under the Scheme. The full terms of the MIA will be released by Avocet to the ASX in a separate announcement.
Avocet shareholders will receive a scheme booklet, which will contain full details of the proposed merger, the basis for the Avocet independent directors' recommendation, and an Independent Expert's Report. It is anticipated that the scheme booklet will be dispatched to shareholders in early March 2013, and that a meeting of Avocet shareholders to vote on the scheme will be held in early April 2013. It is expected that the merger will be implemented in April 2013.

Airport parking. It's one of those things that sends blood pressure — and travel budgets — soaring.
It's also big business for airports such as San Francisco International Airport (SFO), where parking brings in as much as $118 million in annual revenue. But unless you like donating to the cause (to the tune of $14 to $45 a day) consider a park-sleep-and-fly package.
I discovered this option on a recent two-week trip back east. Calculating 14 days of SFO parking and the stress of catching a 6 a.m. flight, I booked an overnight at the El Rancho Inn in Millbrae.
Cha-ching. For the modest price of a one-night stay, my car spent another 13 days free. And the staff even packed me a snack for the free airport shuttle.
The El Rancho started SFO's first hotel car storage program. Built in 1949 for the traffic coming and going from then-Mills Field,
some famous folks have slept in this landmark El Camino Real inn, including Richard Nixon (room 325). The hotel's Mermaid Room is iconic, too, with its underwater swimming pool window (used in the movie "The Right Stuff").
The Westin SFO has another popular park-sleep-and-fly package. Book a room at their resort-like hotel near the Bay (rates start at $199 per night) and your car can stay 10 days for free. The Westin has a lot to like, including those aptly named heavenly beds and an indoor atrium pool, spa and 24-hour fitness studio.
Equally enticing is the Westin's Grill & Vine Restaurant, which feels like a wine country retreat. Talented new chef Xavier Camacho crafts favorites such as lightly beer-battered vegetables with charred lemon and aioli, Dungeness crab-stuffed peppers and entrees like grilled sea bass with a warm Napa cabbage chicory salad dressed with bacon mustard vinaigrette. The restaurant is offering two-for-one dining on Saturdays throughout the month of August.
A third airport park-sleep-and-fly option comes from travel writing colleague Karen Misuraca, who describes the Crowne Plaza as "sophisticated, urban-chic, with super-quiet rooms. "We know we'll get a good night's sleep in a great bed — and what's more important than that?"

Brian Boggs: The Chairmaker Evolves
From journeyman to elder, a craftsman redefines his role.
By Matthew Teague
Pages 38-44
The story of Brian Boggs' first foray into building chairs has become almost mythical among furniture makers: Then a struggling artist in his early 20s who picked tobacco in the fall and did occasional carpentry, Brian stumbled across a copy of John D. Alexander's "Make a Chair from a Tree." Having little money for tools, Brian sharpened the end of a screwdriver to function as a chisel and set about building his first stool, and soon after he built his first chair – both using exactly the same processes Alexander taught.
Almost 30 years later, walking through the door of his current shop and gallery, 4,000 square feet at Biltmore Village in Asheville, N.C., those humble beginnings could seem a distant memory. It's quite the opposite. The three-slat ladder-back, perhaps Brian's most iconic design, is prominently placed and shows a clear but refined lineage to that first greenwood, Appalachian ladderback design. The other chairs and furniture in the room – a full line of outdoor seating, a heavily sculptural musician's chair, a six-slat rocker, a couple of dining tables, a headboard and a few others – have veered drastically in form from Brian's early chairs, but even at a glance something ties them all together. Perhaps it's the consistency of the lines in the backs of Brian's chairs, the attention to detail in the joinery or the hand-textured surfaces that adorn many of the pieces. Whatever it is, Brian's designs long ago became his own, both structurally and aesthetically. Taking a seat in a quartersawn oak outdoor chair that has recently gone into production, I'm reminded that not only are Brian's chairs stunning works of art, they also are arguably the most comfortable wooden chairs ever made.
Brian greets me with his big smile and a cup of coffee. He clasps his hands over his head, stretches and lets out a groan. This morning Brian is just two days back from Honduras, where he investigated a source for bark used to weave chair seats (hickory bark is becoming harder to get), and he has had little sleep. Tired or not, he's on task and characteristically thoughtful as we take a seat in his gallery to discuss everything from how he got started in the craft to his theories on construction and design, what it means to be an artist and how that notion fits into the Boggs' Collective, the new venture in which he and his wife and business partner, Melanie Moeller Boggs, collaborate with other makers to both promote and support their work. It is at once an active and reflective time in Brian's career, and he's very conscious of the ramifications of the decisions he makes. "I'm not an old man," Brian, now 53, says, "but certainly in this arena I'm becoming more of an elder than a journeyman. So now, what's my goal? What's my role in this thing?"

Sol 269 Update On Curiosity From USGS Scientist Ken Herkenhoff: New Software9 May 2013
I was SOWG Chair today for the first time since the conjunction stand-down. A new version of flight software has been installed on the rover, and many of the Sol 269 activities focused on acquiring images needed to evaluate the precision of camera pointing on the "B" computer running the new software. We also planned Mastcam observations of nearby targets of interest. All is going well, but there is still more analysis to be done before the full capabilities of the rover can be used.

How Tesla Found Itself on the Defense
Tesla's status as a media darling is waning, and the company isn't handling that well.
This year, electric-car maker Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA) will account for less than 0.05% of the world's passenger car output. Yet within the financial media bubble, it seems like it generates 99% of auto-industry headlines. A few short months ago, that was a good thing. But now we're seeing the flip side of the coin.
To the Moon!
Tesla's ascendancy to the spotlight came courtesy of two factors: a unique CEO and an outstanding product.
Iron Man
Elon Musk is the most interesting CEO in America. Not only does he make electric cars and rockets (through SpaceX), but he also presented an idea for a warp-speed, low-cost bullet-train substitute called Hyperloop. As well, he was a driving force behind online-payment giant PayPal, which is now owned by eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY), and solar company SolarCity (NASDAQ:SCTY).
How many other people have had their hands in so many large-scale technological revolutions in such a short period of time?
Musk's accomplishments led people to start comparing him to genius/playboy superhero Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man (though some people think he's a jerk...):
And to some extent, he's filled the void left by the greatest tech-industry icon of all time -- Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) Steve Jobs.
The Model S
A charismatic leader without a great product or service doesn't amount to much. And just as Steve Jobs had the iPhone, Musk has the Model S sedan, which has been nothing short of a critical sensation.
Several media outlets, including Motor Trend, named the Model S car of the year and in May, Consumer Reports gave it a 99/100 score -- its highest-ever rating for a car. It wasn't awesome for an electric car. It was awesome, period, combining superb power and performance with excellent handling and sharp looks.
On August 19, the news got even better for Tesla. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration tests indicated that the Model S received a five out of five rating in every safety category.
And in a test designed to measure the integrity of the roof, a machine tried to crush it… and broke. How's that for headline fodder? For Musk and Tesla, it was like a dream.
By September 30, Tesla's stock shot up to $194.50 for a whopping 474% year-to-date return, aided of course by strong earnings earlier in the year.
On October 2, the stock took a 6% dip as a video of a Model S on fire in Washington state from the day before started making the rounds. Then on November 6, another Model S caught fire in Tennessee.
Both of these fires were the result of Model S batteries being damaged by metal objects underneath the car. And in each case, the owners were not at all fazed and in fact wanted new Teslas to replace their burnt-up ones.
There was also a fire on October 17 in Mexico when a drunk driver got in a high-speed crash.
Three battery fires in six weeks? That certainly didn't jibe with the car's image as one of the safest on the road, and it became a hot topic.
Time for Defense!
In response to the October 1 fire, Musk wrote a detailed blog post explaining the accident, including the following passage:
And in the case of the November 6 fire, the actual owner of the car posted the following on the Tesla blog:
A typical gasoline car only has a thin metal sheet protecting the underbody, leaving it vulnerable to destruction of the fuel supply lines or fuel tank, which causes a pool of gasoline to form and often burn the entire car to the ground. In contrast, the combustion energy of our battery pack is only about 10% of the energy contained in a gasoline tank and is divided into 16 modules with firewalls in between. As a consequence, the effective combustion potential is only about 1% that of the fuel in a comparable gasoline sedan.
The nationwide driving statistics make this very clear: there are 150,000 car fires per year according to the National Fire Protection Association, and Americans drive about 3 trillion miles per year according to the Department of Transportation. That equates to one vehicle fire for every 20 million miles driven, compared to one fire in over 100 million miles for Tesla. This means you are five times more likely to experience a fire in a conventional gasoline car than a Tesla!
I am thankful to God that I was totally uninjured in any way from this impact. Had I not been in a Tesla, that object could have punched through the floor and caused me serious harm. From the time of impact of the object until the time the car caught fire was about five minutes. During this time, the car warned me that it was damaged and instructed me to pull over. I never felt as though I was in any imminent danger. While driving after I hit the object until I pulled over, the car performed perfectly, and it was a totally controlled situation. There was never a point at which I was anywhere even close to any flames.
There's no upside to potential safety issues with an emerging technology like electric cars, but these are very effective responses, considering the situation.
And Then There Was That Whole Earnings Thing...
On November 5, Tesla reported third-quarter earnings, but with expectations sky-high, investors were disappointed with the company's profitability and pace of vehicle deliveries.
Combined with the safety issues that had been driving volatility in the stock, the financial disappointment put real fear in the hearts of the bulls.
You can see it in this chart, which shows the 38% decline off the high
A Crisis of Confidence?
On November 18, Musk wrote a new blog post entitled "The Mission of Tesla," where he did two things.
First, he correctly pointed out that there has been disproportionate media coverage of the Tesla fires:
Since the Model S went into production last year, there have been more than a quarter million gasoline car fires in the United States alone, resulting in over 400 deaths and approximately 1,200 serious injuries (extrapolating 2012 NFPA data). However, the three Model S fires, which only occurred after very high-speed collisions and caused no serious injuries or deaths, received more national headlines than all 250,000+ gasoline fires combined. The media coverage of Model S fires vs. gasoline car fires is disproportionate by several orders of magnitude, despite the latter actually being far more deadly.
And secondly, he announce three important actions: The company rolled out a software update that would result in greater ground clearance at highway speeds, requested an investigation from the NHTSA, and amended its warranty policy to cover fire damage, even in the event of driver error.In response, the NHTSA directly contradicted Tesla's claim of requesting an investigation with this statement:
An NHTSA filing indicates that the investigation was opened on November 15:
NHTSA's decision to open any formal investigation is an independent process. In regards to Tesla, the agency notified the automaker of its plans to open a formal investigation and requested their cooperation, which is standard agency practice for all investigations. The automaker agreed to do so.
A Bloomberg report quotes Tesla VP Jim Chen as saying the company requested the investigation that same day.
If the Model S is all it's cracked up to be safety-wise, then why are all these changes necessary?
If the fires can be chalked up to coincidental flukes, and a Tesla is statistically safer than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, why is the company responding so aggressively? And how did it get itself mixed up in this back-and-forth with the NHTSA?
The Other Side
Tesla is seeing the other side of being the next big thing in the automotive industry, and it can't be an easy situation after such smooth sailing.
The Model S catapulted the company into the limelight in a huge way, and Tesla can't simply disappear when the news flow is heading in the wrong direction.
We don't know yet whether this whole mess will actually result in weaker sales of Tesla cars, but the company must see that as a possibility, and certainly, investors are a bit freaked out.
But one thing's for certain: Tesla's on the defense, fighting the same media cabal that pumped its stock up to $194.
Talk about change.

Reprint: F0707B
Singapore is the most future-oriented country in the world, new research from Thunderbird business school reveals, whereas Russia is the least. Yet people the world over aspire to plan for the future, a fact global managers can use to inspire workers in present-oriented cultures to look ahead.
It's hard to manage any organization so that its long-term interests aren't sacrificed to short-term expedience. But there is an added wrinkle for organizations whose operations are globally dispersed: Cultural orientation toward the future varies widely the world over.
My colleagues and I discovered this in the course of our work on the GLOBE project, a study now in its 15th year, that looks at how cultures vary in relation to a set of factors important to organizational management and leadership. By surveying over 17,000 middle managers in 61 societies, we have been able to discern clear differences in nine key areas. One of these is what we call "future orientation," or the extent to which a culture encourages and rewards such behavior as delaying gratification, planning, and investing in the future.
Our straightforward questions asked participants both to express their own values and to describe the environment in which they worked. For example, we presented them with the statement, "More people should live for the present than for the future" and asked for a level of agreement on a seven-point scale. In a separate question, we removed the word "should" and asked them to rank how well the statement described actual behavior in their culture. We found that societies vary greatly in how oriented they actually are to the long term, but in most cultures people's personal values and aspirations are similar and quite future oriented. What's more, most people feel their cultures aren't as forward thinking as they should be.Organization

In a first step, the above methodology is applied to investigate the difference between the biasing policies assuming the scenarios of Examples 1 and 2. We set the favoured treatment groups to be for biasing policy I and for biasing policy II. We assume an selection effect of η = f 4,3 = 1.07. Fig 1 shows the result of the comparison for the sample size N = 12 based on the distribution of the type I error probabilities following Eq 11 . It can be seen that the distribution of the type I error probabilities is shifted away from the nominal significance level of 5% in all investigated settings. In case of a single block of length N (PBD( N )), the influence of the biasing policies was comparable. For smaller block sizes, biasing policy II leads to higher type I error probabilities than the biasing policy I.
Each scenario is based on a sample of r = 10,000 sequences, sample size N = 12 and number of treatment groups K = 3, assuming the selection effect η = f 4,3 = 1.07 for permuted block design (PBD). The red dashed line marks the 5% significance level.
In the second step, we restricted our attention to the strict biasing policy with to investigate the impact of selection bias under variation of the number of groups, the sample size and the selection effect. To that aim, we varied the number of treatment groups
∈ {3, 4, 6} and the number of patients per group
∈ {4, 8, 32}, speaking of a small trial if
= 4, a medium trial if
= 8, and a large trial if
= 32. Figs
Sergio Rossi Floral embellished mules RWKQP3
show the proportion of sequences that lead to an inflation of the type I error probability as proposed in Eq 12 . In Fig 2 we fixed the selection effect η = f m , K , but varied K and m . In ASOS PINA COLADA Pointed High Heels AhkfIqXn
we fixed the number of groups at K = 3, but varied η = ρ ⋅ f m , K and m . In all scenarios we investigated, at least thirty percent of the sequences in the sample lead to an inflation of the type I error-probability. However, the maximum proportion of inflated sequences varied according to the randomization procedure. The permuted block design with block size K had up to 100% of inflated sequences in medium and large trials (middle and right hand panels of Figs 2 and 3 ). For permuted block randomization with block length N /2 or N , the proportion of inflated sequences ranged up to 84% right hand panel of Fig 3 and 76% middle panel of Fig 3 and generally attained its maximum in large trials with K = 3 treatment groups. For all the randomization procedures we investigated, the proportion of inflated sequences grew when the number of treatment groups remained the same but the number of patients per group was increased. Consider for example the situation of K = 6 treatment groups and permuted block design with block length K shown in red in Fig 2 . In a small trial, one third of the sequences had inflated type I error probability. This proportion was more than doubled in a medium trial (71%), and reached 100% in a large trial. Interestingly, Fig 3 shows that the proportion of sequences with inflated type I error probability remained constant when the selection effect η = ρ ⋅ f m , K was varied with ρ ∈ {0, 1/4, 1/2, 1} and the number of groups was fixed to K = 3. This means that already a relatively small bias can lead to the same proportion of sequences with inflated type I error probability as a large bias.

shows that this is also true for K = 4 and K = 6. For η = ρ = 0, all sequences maintain the type I error in all investigated scenarios, as expected.
Think positively "It's understandable that you may feel vulnerable and insecure," around your new peers — especially at first, says Watkins. "You are stepping up to the big leagues." You may even suffer from a touch of imposter syndrome . But you mustn't let self-doubt get the better of you. And don't assume the worst. It's highly likely that these people "weighed in on your promotion" and believe you are up to the task, adds Jen Su. "They see you as qualified and capable and ready for the job." Try not to get consumed by actively "trying to prove yourself" to your new peer group, she says. The danger is that you come across as "trying too hard, grasping, overly dogmatic," or even as "trying to one-up" your peers. Summon all the poise andconfidence you can muster. "No one can see you a certain way without you first seeing yourself that way."Think positively

Be confident — but not overconfident. Otherwise you risk being seen as "too big for your boots," says Watkins. Think about "how you want to be perceived" by your peers, and "how they will form opinions" of you, says Watkins. Go in with a collaborative mindset. "You want to be viewed as a person [others] can work with," he says. Your goal is to demonstrate that "you're someone with a depth of knowledge but who also wants to learn and help." Your early interactions with people who are accustomed to thinking of you as a junior colleague can be a delicate dance, adds Jen Su. Project

"Show conviction;" but be humble about it. "Don't be deferential; be appropriately respectful."
Build bridges When you're the new kid on the block, it's "incumbent on you" to reach out to your colleagues and try to get to know them, says Watkins. Upon starting the job, he recommends scheduling "a series of one-on-ones" with your new peers andtalk about how you will best work together going forward. "Ask: What should I know about the team?" These conversations needn't be confined to conference rooms or cubicles, adds Jen Su. She suggests inviting them out for coffee or lunch — "there's huge value to spending informal time with your colleagues batting ideas around." Your objective is to become a "good thought partner" to your peers. "Seek to understand their perspectives," she says. "Ask for their input — not because you need their permission, but because you appreciate their counsel."Build bridges
Understand team dynamics You also need to acquire a deep understanding of "the dynamics of the team," says Watkins. In particular, he recommends, "paying a lot of attention to influence dynamics." Figure out who "your boss trusts, who your boss listens to, and who other people on the team defer to." Jen Su agrees: "Any time you onboard into a group dynamic, it's wise to spend time getting the lay of the land. Understand how the team operates, how communication flows, how decisions get made, and where people's hot buttons lie." But, she cautions, don't stay in observation mode too long. "You eventually want to go from learner to contributor to leader."

thanks to Ignatius for suggesting I do a write-up on this.
1st off. I don't know why I can't use the vB code to add these pics normally. It just isn't working for me.
now on to the lesson.
Make an XP CD from a Manufacturer's Bundle
by not_it (aka jawz101 if you see me elsewhere)
Don't you hate it when you buy your new HP pc and it comes w/ all the bloat? And if you want to reinstall the OS you've got to lug out the 5 recovery CDs to install the junk along w/ Windows. Where's the Microsoft hologram one? I bought a licensed copy of Windows. I don't want this HP bloat version!
When you put a CD like this in a PC and try to boot up you typically get a prompt saying they need the numerous other recovery CD's to start the installation.
That's where nLite comes in. By the way, I just figured this out one day when I realized that these bundled manuf. CD's are probably made where the OS is on one of the disks.
-Download and install nLitehttp://img412.imageshack.us/my.php?i...2458165yx4.jpg
-Put manufacturer's OS CD in... not the other recovery CD's. Just the one labeled Microsoft Windows XP or whatever.
-When it asks to locate Windows installation browse to the i386 folder on the CD.
-nLite will ask you where you want to copy these files. Make a folder on your HD and copy them over. It'll churn for a while as it does this.
-Hit next through some screens until you get here & check these boxes for now:
That's basically it.
I am not teaching on how to use nLite. It's an app where your curiosity will take over once you use it. The main point of this lesson is to show you how to quickly make a legit Windows CD from a bloated one.
You can go through and remove optional components and do some of the other stuff, but the main thing is that you're creating an .iso install file of just Windows and not all the bundled requirements. This CD will install just like a regular XP CD.
Maybe you don't think this is cool but if you do it once you will realize how cool it is. Personally, I think stripping all the marketing bloat out is an awesome side effect of nLite... maybe works with vLite (vista's version) too. Plus, I have tons of these HP CDs from work that are useless because we use corporate licensing and Ghost images. Now, they have a purpose instead of becoming trash, because I can create an XP disk anytime I want.
Mods- pls help me get these pics working right. It would help. Maybe I'm just missing something, but the tags aren't doing anything for me.

John DiStaso's Granite Status: Shaheen ACA vote helped spur cancellation noticesBy JOHN DiSTASO
Senior Political Reporter
November 02. 2013 8:25PM
WAS SHE FOR IT BEFORE SHE WAS AGAINST IT? Back in September 2010, U.S. Senate Republicans tried to block implementation of the Affordable Care Act's "grandfather" rule that has led to millions of Americans now getting cancellation notices from their insurance companies.
According to CNN, Senate Democrats unanimously voted down the GOP resolution. That included Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, who now wants to delay the open enrollment period and related penalties for the ACA and has called its rollout a disaster.
The rule set out what insurance plans would be grandfathered, or exempted, from Obamacare, CNN reported Friday, adding, "Democrats argued then that the rule was necessary to ensure that insurance companies weren't able to drastically change their plans and still remain exempt from Obamacare."
Shaheen spokesman Elizabeth Kenisberg said Shaheen opposed the Republican effort to block the rule, and as a result supported the rule, because "this was a political amendment offered by someone who opposed the Affordable Care Act, and, if passed, would have undermined a number of important consumer protections in the law, including the ban on lifetime limits on key coverage for plans."
- - - - - - -
ON THE EXCHANGE. Like the rest of Congress, Shaheen, Sen. Kelly Ayotte and Reps. Carol Shea-Porter and Annie Kuster faced a 5 p.m. deadline on Halloween to decide whether their staffs should sign up for the Obamacare exchange or remain on the federal health plan.
All four went with the exchange for their staffs in New Hampshire and Washington, according to their spokesmen.
It's no surprise the three Democrats did so, but Republican Ayotte, a major "Obamacare" opponent?
"Senator Ayotte believes members of Congress and their staff should be treated like everyone else, and she and her entire staff will purchase health insurance through the Obamacare exchanges," said Ayotte spokesman Liz Johnson.
"She believes all congressional staff, as well as members of the Obama administration, should do the same, including administration officials responsible for implementing the law who currently are exempted from the Obamacare exchanges."
The ACA as written requires members of Congress and "full-time and part-time employees employed by the official office of a member of Congress" to receive employer-sponsored insurance on ACA exchanges.
The federal Office of Personnel Management issued a rule in August that members of Congress and "official office" congressional staff will be required to purchase insurance through the ACA exchanges.
But the rule deferred to individual members to decide which of their staff members are designated "official office" staff.
In effect, OPM created a loophole, and some members of Congress are using it.
But Ayotte designated her entire staff as "official office" staff.
Ayotte earlier this year offered an amendment to the budget resolution that would have required congressional leadership and committee staff, as well as the President, vice president and executive branch political appointees, to purchase health insurance through the Obamacare exchanges.
But her amendment did not come up for a vote in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
- - - - - - -
A SCATHING CONDEMNATION. A former Democratic state representative from Barrington takes Obamacare to task in an opinion piece on Page B9 of today's newspaper.Susan Price, a small-business owner, writes that she is being forced onto an expensive small-business plan by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and the ACA.
Price served in the House for one term in 2009 and 2010.
- - - - - - -
CRITICAL OF CAROL. The conservative advocacy group Citizens for a Strong Economy this week will release a web video of Shea-Porter saying on WMUR in 2010, "It's our job to say, if you have insurance, and your employer covers you, it's not going to change."
That is in fact the case at least for another year, with the delay in the employer mandate.
But the "Citizens" group says the comment from Shea-Porter specifying "employer" coverage, shows either she didn't understand the bill and her comments in 2010 were meant to include both employer and individual plans, or she knowingly said the word "employer" because she actually knew that millions of individual plans would get canceled once the law was implemented.
We asked Shea-Porter's office for a comment on the group's charge Friday, but did not receive one.
- - - - - - -
BIG DONATION. Former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown made political news in the Granite State throughout last week.
With appearances early in the week in Nashua and later in Stafford County and Amherst, along with the establishment of a New Hampshire political action committee, Brown caught the attention of Shaheen and her fellow Democrats.
They're telling supporters it appears Brown is readying a run against her.
We learned Friday that Brown is doing even more to help the GOP here.
He's written a $10,000 check to the New Hampshire Republican State Committee from the new Granite State version of his political action committee, "The People's Seat."
Brown joined Ayotte and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, a potential presidential hopeful, at the "Chairman's Circle" donation level.
"Senator Brown is an outstanding leader and a strong voice for fiscally responsible policies," said party chairman Jennifer Horn.
"We appreciate his generous contribution and thank him for his continued efforts to support New Hampshire Republicans," she said.
Brown has not ruled out establishing residency in the state and running for Shaheen's Senate seat. He has family in New Hampshire, including his sister, Lee Ann Riley of Portsmouth, who is the treasurer of his PAC.
He is also scheduled to appear at a fundraiser for former U.S. Rep. Frank Guinta in Portsmouth on Nov. 14.
Shaheen's campaign last week sent out three fundraising emails critical of Brown and implying that he is planning to run.
Brown called the criticism "laughable" and accused Shaheen's camp of "scare tactics.
- - - - - - -
HOSTING GUINTA, BROWN. The Guinta fundraiser with Brown is being hosted by an influential group of Seacoast Republican business executives, donors and activists.
The fundraiser, priced at $250 to $500 a person, will be held at the home of Zachary and Nancy Slater of Portsmouth.
Other hosts will be former state Senate President Bill Bartlett; Zachary Gregg, who is the nephew of former Sen. and Gov. Judd Gregg; businessman Jim Boyle; restaurateur John Tinios; attorney John Lyons; and activists/businesspeople Christopher Ayer, Christian Callahan, Russell Cox, Robert Gray, Joe Guyton, Daniel and Renee Plummer, Max and Andrea Pruna, state Rep. Pam and John Tucker, and David and Dana Patten.
Guinta, a former Manchester mayor, is making his third run for the 1st District U.S. House seat now held by Democratic Rep. Carol Shea-Porter. He defeated Shea-Porter in 2010 before losing to her in 2012.
He is facing a GOP primary challenge from former University of New Hampshire business school dean Dan Innis, who resides and owns a business in Portsmouth.
- - - - - -
ALREADY? It's early for legislative candidates to emerge, but already one Democratic state Senate challenger has done so.
State Rep. Chris Mums, D-Hampton, who chairs the legislative committee overseeing the compliance of the former New Hampshire Local Government Center with a state Bureau of Securities Regulation order, is running against Republican Sen. Nancy Stiles, also of Hampton, in District 24.
Mums already has a fundraising link on the Democratic "Act Blue" website, stating, "After many hours of conversation with - and considerable encouragement from - my family and constituents from throughout the district, I have decided to run for the New Hampshire state Senate in District 24. I am ready to step up to that challenge, and with your help - and a lot of hard work - I can win this seat, and we can take back control of the state Senate and continue to move our state forward."
He reports on the site having raised $3,300 so far.

Silenx Ixtrema Review
Have you been looking for an upgrade to your cooling solution for your processor? Maybe your temperatures are higher than you want them to be, which is limiting your overclock? Maybe you are just looking for some of the latest and greatest technology to cool your processor when it comes to air cooling solutions. Well Silenx may just have the solution to all of your problems with its Ixtrema CPU Cooler. The Ixtrema CPU Cooler is part of Silenx's Pro Series CPU Coolers, which features support for a wide range of processors and is designed specifically for overclockers and gamers. I am very interested to see how the cooler does when it is put up to the test against some of the other coolers that are out on the market, so let's get to it and see what it looks like.
Closer Look:
Taking a look at the packaging for the Silenx Ixtrema CPU Cooler, you are able to see from the front a few of the features that Silenx has decided that consumers are going to need to know about the cooler before they purchase it, which include, at the bottom, that the Ixtrema Pro Series Heatpipe CPU Cooler is designed for gamers and overclockers, which is a good sign that Silenx has tested the cooler to make sure that it will keep the temperatures down. The Ixtrema CPU Cooler supports all Intel Socket 775 and AMD Socket 754/9xx/AM2 processors, which covers all of the most popular processors to overclock. Silenx claims that the cooler will do less than 18dBA in your case, which is a great sound level as you will barely be able to hear the cooler, allowing you to play your games without distraction. The back of the packaging is very simple and plain, telling you the specifications of the cooler and the compatibility list. There are more features that Silenx shows you with pictures on one of the sides of the packaging, including the direct contact heatpipes to the CPU's IHS, the fan's low noise, as well as the fifty-five fins that are included on the heatsink.
The Silenx Ixtrema CPU Cooler is able to have two 120mm fans that can be installed on the cooler at the same time in a push-pull configuration, Silenx has sent me a second fan to install on the cooler for testing purposes. There are specifications of the fan on the back of the packaing, it is the exact same fan that is included with the heatsink; this looks like a winning pair.
The mounting hardware that is included with the Silenx Ixtrema is a little different than Intel Socket 775 users are used to seeing. It is a retention bracket that goes around the CPU socket, which reminds me of the AMD style of stock cooling solutions back in the day of the Socket 939 boards. This black piece of plastic has four pressure clips that go through the usual mounting holes in the motherboard and then you are able to install the heatsink. All of these pieces of mounting hardware are tucked away in the white box that is kept in the packaging. Also included in the box is a fan speed controller if you wish to adjust the speed of one fan. There are four pieces of thin paperclip like clips that are used to mount the two fans to the cooler.
Now that we have taken a look at the Silenx Ixtrema CPU Cooler's packaging and seen what was packaged with it, it's time to take a detailed look at the actual cooler to see what we are going to be sticking on our processor.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Jeremy Lin has joined the Lakers in a trade with Houston along with first- and second-round draft picks in 2015 for the rights to center Sergei Lishchuk.
The Lakers made the deal official Sunday.
Lin will make about $15 million this season in the last year of a deal that counts only $8 million against the salary cap. The Lakers have cap room to absorb Lin's contract.
Lin averaged 12.5 points and 4.1 assists last season but lost his starting job. The Harvard player was born in Los Angeles and figures to be popular with the city's large Asian community.
Lishchuk played for Valencia in Spain last season. He was drafted by Memphis in the 2004, dealt to the Rockets in 2008 and traded to Lakers in 2010.
