The Great Diet Coke Experiment
Six months ago, I was loving the caffeine.
Six months ago, I had increased blood pressure, blurry vision, headaches, dizziness, head fog, and other unexplained issues.
So six months ago, I did some research to see if it all was connected.
Turns out, some artificial sweeteners can have negative effects on certain people.
Lucky me. Guess I was one of those "certain" people.
I gave up diet drinks for about two months. That's all I could handle. Then slowly, diet drinks began to enter my life again. And you know what?
I had the same medical issues.
You'd think I'd learn, huh?
Once again, I ditched the splenda and tossed in caffeine for good measure.
So I have been caffeine and artificial sweetener free for four months.
And my blood pressure has decreased back to the normal zone.
Methinks perhaps artificial sweeteners are not the best thing for our bodies.
Or at least mine.
Oh, and the added bonus? I have lost my craving for sweets.
Strange how things are linked together, huh?

Oh my, I had some blood pressure issues last spring. Maybe I should give up my Diet Coke. CAN LIFE GO ON WITHOUT IT???

I drink Diet Coke with added carcinogen... er... Lime. I am feeling very convicted now. (And you'd think - with all of my food preservative allergies - that this junk would bother me. But nope, not allergic. But definitely not good for me either.)

A few years ago, I realized I was drinking some 14+ cups of coffee a day...that lead me to cut back to today one, maybe two. It can be done. Of course, I've got nothing on the artificial stuff. :)

The phosphates in the carbonated beverages are also bad for the bones. As my doctor put it "they suck the calcium right out of your bones". I gave up diet coke over 2 years ago. Now I can't even drink it. It makes me want to gag. I still do sweet n' low in my rare cup of coffee. I'm more about teas -- green, white, black, yerba mate, herbals. I use pure stevia in those. Much better!

Great information. I stopped drinking mountain dew sodas (yummy) about 3 years ago. Nice site.

I have a friend who also had issues with diet drinks and thought he had acute tendonitis and was preparing for surgery. When he stopped drinking diet pop, the pain disappeared permanently.

Researchers from Massachusetts Eye and Ear at Schepens Research Institute are testing a pocket-sized collision warning device that is being targeted towards the blind, who are often at risk of colliding with objects when out and about. This device, which would sit on the wearer's chest, aims to make walking safer for people with visual impairments by warning them about obstacles in their path that they are at risk of walking into or colliding with.
The system, which of course uses a camera to detect obstacles, issues warnings based on an estimate of how far away the collision is in terms of time, and not distance. The researchers tested the system on patients who were made to walk a loop-shaped obstacle course filled with obstacles and pedestrians.
This collision warning device intelligently uses existing technology and applies it to an oft-ignored demographic, those with physical limitations and impairments, for whom it could prove to be lifechanging.

|Irina Slutsky
As co-founder Sergey Brin and product chief Marissa Mayer were fielding questions at the Google Instant launch in San Francisco last week, I raised my hand to make what I can assure you was a very brilliant query about advertising, when my friend Kevin Marks, VP of web service at BT (British Telecom), nudged me.My name has always caused trouble -- for me and anyone trying to spell it. But I didn't count on it giving Google any issue. "Hey, your last name breaks it!," Kevin said, pointing to the Google Instant search box with my last name typed out and a totally white screen. Nothing.
We tried typing letter by letter. S ... skype, sears, southwest airlines. SL ... sleep train, slanted door. SLU.... slumdog millionaire, slurpee. SLUT...SLUTS....
We added the "K," thinking that would solve it. SLUTSK.... still nothing. Only after you clicked "search" did my clips, my Twitter account and my GeekTV videos show up. But the beauty of Google Instant is that it's click-free, a new way to search where the results automatically came to you. If this was, as Google said, the future of search, where did that leave me?
Naturally this bruised my ego -- and professional visibility -- but I'm not alone. Also gone was the world famous Eugen Slutsky, who authored the Slutsky Equation, which is taught at every economics school in the world. Then there's Irina Slutskaya, the first female Olympic ice-skater to land a triple lutz-triple. There's the slightly-more-obscure Boris Slutsky, a poet, and the other Boris Slutsky, a pianist who has performed in Carnegie Hall.
As Cade Metz from the U.K. Register discovered, the bug didn't apply to everyone with a dubiously spelled name -- typing "FUC" got you nothing but "FUCC" got you "Fuccillo," a car dealership named after its owner. Just as the second "C" rescues Fuccillo from obscurity, shouldn't the K save the Amazing Slutskys?
My friend Kevin thinks it's a dangerous decision. "Marissa said Google Instant is a little psychic," he said. "In this case it's saying, 'I know what you're thinking, and it's naughty, and I'm not going to let you see that!'" He goes on: "It's also unfortunate because they are very much editorializing our search. Rather than giving you new discoveries, they're having everyone converge on what everyone has already thought before and seen before."
When it was my turn for a question, I grabbed the mic: "I see that you have some blacklisted words, and my last name is one of them. What is the criteria?"
One of the engineers replied that Google filters search to protect users from "violence, hate and pornography."
Later, Ms. Mayer thanked me for helping identify what she said was a bug. "We'll work on that," she said.
But so far, Google Instant has me waiting.
Irina Slutsky has been in the SF Bay Area tech scene since 2004. She worked as an old-school newspaper reporter in Florida and New Jersey. She was born in Kazakhstan like Borat.

Added Memory (now at 4G) but won't run properly
I am helping a friend (former student).
His Early 2008 Macbook has been running like a dog with 10.6.8
Here's the specs:
I suggested some added memory and bought some from OWC and installed it.
The machine boots up and recognizes the memory but once an app or two are open it bogs down and has to be crashed. The pinwheel of death...
I PRAM'D it a few times -- no joy.
I took that memory out and got some from another company -- just in case memory was the issue.... same problem. Old memory, it runs fine.
I also booted it from a different hard drive -- that runs into the same problem.
I've tried a few things: cleaned up hard drive, done the SMC powerdown, PRAM'd again and again.
I just can't get it sorted for him.
I don't have a way to do a clean install of the operating system.
Has anyone seen this phenomenon? I'd love to get him back on track so that his machine -- which otherwise is in fine shape -- can speed back up.
I can only get brief access to it as he's in grad school and using it to view Powerpoints and such.
I have a few days before I return the memory chips to the two vendors.
The memory is the RIGHT MEMORY (at least according to the vendors and a check w OWC technical support)
Thanks for any help.
Is this a good question?


text: Hey guys I own an arcade type website which if you don't know is just a website full of flash games that users can play straight in the browser for free. Anyway, I have managed to get ranked well enough to get plenty of traffic, but Adsense is just not cutting it as the payout is TINY per click. Basically, I have been trying to come up with some new ideas for monetizing this site. I was thinking of trying out CB with some ebooks that teach you how to hack gaming consoles to play games for free, or other CB offers. I could try some CPA networks for online games but it seems like the payout would be rather small for these as most pay around 50% when a referred player buys an optional $15 pro account. I also have taken a look at AdBrite and looks like it could be good if and only if I get lucky and someone bids high. Does anyone else have any ideas? Or do you think one of these is good? I am really just looking for some insight.

The County Executive's Home Page
(SUFFOLK COUNTY, NY) – Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone reminds residents the deadline to enter the County's free advanced wastewater treatment system lottery is Friday, November 14, 2014. The lottery is part of the County's state-of-the art septic demonstration program that will select 19 single family homeowners to receive a free advanced wastewater treatment system that greatly reduces nitrogen contamination – including free installation, monitoring and maintenance for five years.
Currently, there are no advanced systems permitted for use in Suffolk County. This lottery is part of a program to install advanced systems throughout the county in order to test them in different types of terrain so that they can be permitted for general use. However, many of these advanced wastewater treatment systems were observed by county experts on a tour of septic programs conducted in other states in the Northeast. The County is modeling its homeowner education program on the very successful program that has been in place in Rhode Island over the past fifteen years.
"This is a great deal for homeowners who want a free advanced system and want to help be a part of solving our water quality crisis," County Executive Bellone said. "Don't wait for your old cesspool or septic to fail, enter this program today."
The pilot program is part of Suffolk County's Reclaim Our Water initiative, a comprehensive plan to improve the County's water quality, restore the region's natural storm barriers by eradicating nitrogen pollution by means of sewering targeted areas and implementing advanced on-site wastewater treatment systems. Residents are encouraged to log onto www.suffolkcountyny.gov to fill out an application.
The 19 systems were donated by four national manufacturers, BUSSE Green Technologies, Norweco, Orenco Systems and Hydro-Action Industries, all of whom have extensive experience across the country, as well as Europe, in removing excess nitrogen from residential and commercial properties. The advanced wastewater treatment systems are valued at up to $15,000 per system.
The firms will also work with Suffolk County officials and the County's Department of Labor, Licensing and Consumer Affairs throughout the process to develop an extensive job training program to bring more septic and wastewater-oriented employment opportunities to Suffolk County. The program will additionally help to create a homeowner awareness program to provide residents information on proper septic system maintenance protocols in an effort to reduce nitrogen levels.
For more information on Suffolk County's septic demonstration program, as well as the detailed report on its septic tour, log onto www.suffolkcountyny.gov.
Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone announced the launch of the lottery on October 15, 2014 with several officials, including County Legislator Al Krupski, Suffolk County Departments of Health, Public Works and Economic Development and Planning along with environmental advocates and wastewater experts.

One way to reduce the number of SQL functions is to model the database schema in the database.
This approach uses tables to model the database table names, column names, datatypes, relationships, and the ordinality of the relationships.
This approach allows many queries to be automatically generated. Instead of using a lot of little wrapper functions, AUTOLOAD a function that performs a query on the schema, generates SQL code, and runs the query.
I haven't tried DbFramework but it looks like it does at least some of this and possibly much more.
There is an article about this approach, although it describes a Java implementation of the idea.
I used this approach on a database that has about 500 fully normalized tables. I use a GUI that is generated on the fly from the database metadata. There is also a database schema browser that is driven from the metadata. I would use this approach in the design of databases that have more than about 50 or 100 tables.
It should work perfectly the first time! - toma

I don't recall a time when I was forced to sit on the sidelines and watch things happen. I've always thought of myself as a "roll up my sleeves and get the job done" kind of person. Admitting to myself that I am not physically able to do what I love doing has been hard.
I have spent 5 years building the mission of All Are Welcome…I have met some great people, made a bunch of new friends and saw a dream become reality. Over the last few weeks I have come to realize this has not been a small feat, but the credit is not mine. I am often humbled by those who applaud the efforts and success of All Are Welcome, as they tell me what a wonderful thing "I've " done. I didn't really do anything except connect the dots. Sometimes the dots weren't always clear, but in 5 years, this mission has always met our needs and I had very little to do with that.
On those days, over the past years when I didn't think I could draw one more line to connect another dot, the volunteers at All Are Welcome have always stepped up, stepped in and pulled it together. Some days, just a rag-tag bunch flying by the seat of our pants making sure "IT" happened. One day a very wise and smart person said to me, "if you have fed one person, you've done your job". By that standard, we have succeeded.
Now, as I am forced to step aside from the daily, physical demands of running the hands-on cooking and serving of the meals (I never thought I'd run it forever, I just wasn't expecting the change to come this soon or this abruptly), the change in perspective allows me to focus on a much broader image of All Are Welcome in the community.
This weekend, as I plowed through the neglected to-do list in front of me, I discovered this on the back of a guest check. Normally, the back of our guest checks are filled with a summary of our business model and our mission. Another "sign" of the right things at the right time in the right place…
I've blacked out her name…at AAW we try to level the playing field and respect the privacy and circumstances of our guests. I've met her, I've heard part of her story. I know she's lived through some stuff in her young life. Yet she says this about us, our small mission that tries to feed those who go without and somehow, so much more.
Food for the body, nurturing the spirit, building a community…like the "old days" when we knew our neighbors. Sitting beside someone who's life hasn't always been good and sharing a smile. Being together in a place where no one cares where you came from, or how much you have.
We won't ever be a 5-star establishment. We won't have the trendiest menu. We probably won't have a paid staff of food service professionals. We will always have a smile. We will always do our best. We will always make a place at our table, in our kitchen and on our team for those who wish to be among friends. As I step into the background and work on the business side of our mission, I hope someday, maybe we'll have a few of our visions realized – a building of our own, a garden to grow. For now, I give you our fantastic volunteers, our loyal and supportive guests, and a place for everyone to belong.
Building community, one meal at a time.

LAIE, Hawaii – Shih Ting (Stella) Chen led No. 4 BYU-Hawaii to its second sweep (25-13, 25-19, 25-12) of the East-West Challenge defeating Florida Tech on Saturday night in the George Q. Cannon Center.
Chen led all players with a double-double of 17 kills and 19 digs to go with a .500 hitting percentage. Erh Fang (Ariel) Hsu added 6 kills and Kalistina Takau led all players with four blocks. The Seasiders (2-0) defense held Florida Tech (2-2) to a negative hitting percentage in the match.
After conceding the first two points of the match to the Panthers, the Seasiders went on an 8-1 run to grab control of the set. Florida Tech used a 5-1 run to close the gap back to one at 9-8. BYU-Hawaii answered with a 7-1 run to reestablish their lead. Takau propelled a 6-1 lead to close out the set and give BYU-Hawaii the 25-13 victory.
After the teams traded points to start second set, the Panthers used a 5-0 run to build a four point lead. Trailing 13-9, the Seasiders used a timeout to rally the troops and go on a 7-0 run and take the lead and control of the set. Kathleen Collette helped extend BYU-Hawaii's lead to 21-16 with two service aces giving the Seasiders all the room they would need to take a 2-0 set lead.
Stella Chen led BYU-Hawaii to an early lead in the third set at 4-1, but Florida Tech kept battling. The Seasiders kept the pressure up using small runs to build a 14-7 lead midway through the set. A 6-0 run, led by Takau's strong presence in the middle, gave BYU-Hawaii a commanding 21-9 lead as it coasted to victory.
The Seasiders will travel to the mainland to play in the Colorado Premier Challenge Sept. 12-13 in Denver, Colo.

Iron Mine Trail is a 0.9 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Stuart, Virginia that features a lake. The trail is rated as moderate and primarily used for hiking, walking, camping, and mountain biking. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
mountain biking
1.1 mile trail that offers great views of Fairystone Lake and numerous iron mines. Has numerous switchbacks as you climb the mountain.
Nice trail
This is part of the Stuart's Knob Trail System in Fairy Stone State Park...not private property as listed here. This trail exceeded my expectations. There are several switchbacks with some elevation change for a short loop. You pass a couple old mine entrances (you need to take a short spur to get to one). The scenery is pretty, especially with some fall color remaining in the trees. There is also a very nice view looking down over the lake and the beach area. You can extend the hike by including the Stuart's Knob or Whiskey Run Trails, and there is plenty of room to park at the trailhead.
Nice day relatively easy loop
Trail was in good shape. Numerous switchbacks and views of several iron mines along the way. Traffic was nonexistent on the trail as we met no one else. Parking at trailhead was good. Overall it wasn't a bad trip.

In the wake of the devastating earthquake in Nepal help is urgently needed, and we have decided to upload a special pre-release of the upcoming Phillax album "Goblins Ate My Piano" in order to help raise money for the relief efforts. 100% of the money we receive will be given to Medecins Sans Frontiere, who perform a vital function delivering emergency care around the world to those people that need it the most. Please give generously =)
"Goblins Ate My Piano" is the debut album from Phillax, the eclectic solo project and mischievous alter-ego of Phil Austerberry, London-based producer, pianist and DJ. The album is a journey across various styles from trance through to downbeat electronica... where a bittersweet blend of rich melody and euphoria is blended with a haunted, driving and psychedelic feel.

Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized Crimea as a "sovereign and independent country" Monday, just hours after the strategic Black Sea peninsula declared it had broken away from Ukraine.
The moves triggered the toughest Western sanctions against Russia since the Cold War — with Washington and the European Union retaliating with asset freezes and travel bans and U.S. President Barack Obama vowing to "increase the cost" if the Kremlin does not back down.
Ukraine's turmoil has become Europe's most severe security crisis in years and tensions have been high since Russian troops seized control of Crimea, which decided in a Sunday referendum to merge with Russia. Putin signed a decree recognizing Crimea's independence, and Russian troops were massed near the border with Russian-speaking eastern Ukraine.
Ukraine's acting president raised tensions on the ground by calling for the activation of some 20,000 military reservists and volunteers across the country and for the mobilization of another 20,000 in the recently formed national guard.
In the Crimean capital of Simferopol, ethnic Russians applauded the Sunday referendum that overwhelmingly called for secession and for joining Russia. Masked men in body armour blocked access for most journalists to the parliament session that declared independence, but the city otherwise appeared to go about its business normally.
The U.S., EU and Ukraine's new government do not recognize the referendum held Sunday in Crimea, which was called hastily as Ukraine's political crisis deepened with the ouster of pro-Russia President Viktor Yanukovych following months of protests and sporadic bloodshed. In addition to calling the vote itself illegal, the Obama administration said there were "massive anomalies" in balloting that returned a 97 per cent "yes" vote for joining Russia.
Obama warned that Russia could face more financial punishment.
"If Russia continues to interfere in Ukraine, we stand ready to impose further sanctions," Obama said.
One of the top Russian officials hit by sanctions mocked Obama.
"Comrade Obama, what should those who have neither accounts nor property abroad do? Have you not thought about it?" Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin tweeted. "I think the decree of the President of the United States was written by some joker."

Eastern Europe will soon be receiving a reprieve from the historically devastating cold front they have been dealing with recently. To date, 112 people have died across Eastern Europe as a result of the heavy snow and subzero temperatures that have rocked the area.
Senior Meteorologist for AccuWeather.com, Kristina Pydynowski, reported on the record-breaking weather conditions around Europe. Topping out the most frigid of temperatures was Boryspil in the Ukraine which dipped all the way down to 27 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit.
The extreme cold will retain its grip from Siberia to Poland and other surrounding countries throughout tonight. However, the extreme weather should be moving out by Friday night when the conditions shouldn't be as harsh, with even more relief to come over the weekend.
The reprieve will only be slight though, reports Pydynowski. "Unseasonably chilly air will continue to flow throughout Europe next week, but will fail to produce a repeat of this week's extreme temperatures."

The Associated Press is reporting 112 lives have been lost due to the weather in Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria and Russia. The majority of those who have died in Poland and the Ukraine were homeless. A staggering 950 Ukranians were hospitalized after they had symptoms of hypothermia.
Ireland could soon be feeling the effects of the massive European cold front over the weekend as well, though certainly not to the extent that other European nations have grappled with.
The Evening Herald reports that snow is expected in Ireland over the weekend, putting a drastic end to the country's unseasonably warm weather they've had of late.
Though spring officially began yesterday February 1st in Ireland, snow storms are expected this weekend. The Herald predicts that temperatures will "plummet to -5C and the country is going to be battered with rain, sleet and even snow in parts."

South Oakland Resident Disgruntled with his Enron Stock
James Twilley, 24, of South Bouquet Street has been dealing with some difficult times recently as his Enron stock has plummeted to new lows over the past year and a half.
"It's hard for me," said Twilley. "That stock was my retirement nest egg. I had over four shares in the stock. Now it's worth practically nothing, I don't know what I'm going to do."
Twilley invested in the stock back in January of 2001 when the price was at an all time high of $80 per share. "It's just hard to deal with," explained Twilley. "You read about it in the papers, but once you experience it first-hand, it's like nothing else you can imagine. Because of [Enron's] mismanagement, I lost over $320. That's almost a week's worth of pay at CVS. It's always the little guy who gets hurt. I bet my financial future on that stock. I was buying cases of Yuengling Lager non-returnable [bottles] and eating at Sorrento's Pizza almost every night. Now I'm stuck buying that god-damn PBR and eating at 'the O'."
Former Enron CEO Kenneth Lay addressed Twilley's loss at a press conference last Thursday.
"Mr. Twilley is emblematic of the American entrepreneur. He's the low wage, hard-working individual who uses his intelligence in an attempt to better his life. I would go so far as to call him the symbolic backbone of our economic system. I feel very bad for Twilley and his loss. It's stories like his which tug at the very fiber of this controversy. While his loss is a travesty, people need to realize that the stock market is a gamble. I would encourage Twilley to diversify his portfolio in subsequent investments and not be discouraged by this loss."
"It'll be a long time before I'm back on my feet," Twilley concluded.

This article is a collaboration between MedPage Today® and:
Expanded criteria for chronic kidney disease have labeled too many people as sick, researchers argued.
Since the Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative changed criteria for the condition in 2002, more than one in eight American adults (about 14%) have been meeting the threshold for chronic kidney disease, whereas one U.S. study suggested a prevalence of just 1.7% with prior definitions.
"The combination of the large numbers now labeled as having chronic kidney disease with low rates of total kidney failure suggest many of those diagnosed will never progress to symptomatic forms of kidney disease," Ray Moynihan, a journalist and PhD student at the Centre for Research in Evidence Based Practice at Bond University on Australia's Gold Coast, and colleagues wrote online in BMJ in a series on overdiagnosis.
The 2002 framework eliminated the chaotic variety of names for kidney disease diagnoses -- such as renal insufficiency and renal failure -- and brought them all under a single term, chronic kidney disease, with stages defined by an estimate of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and an assessment of kidney damage, typically by albuminuria. A 2012 update further subdivided the stages.
The rationale for the change to a more consistent definition was that catching cases early would slow or stop progression to late-stage disease.
And it has been successful in catching early disease, but perhaps too much so, Moynihan's group suggested.
Less than 1% of people who met the criteria for stage 3A chronic kidney disease in one population-based Norwegian study went on to develop end-stage renal disease after 8 years of follow-up.
That would translate to a number needed to treat of thousands to prevent one case of end stage disease, "raising questions about opportunity costs to health systems," Moynihan and colleagues pointed out.
Notably, many of those who meet the criteria for stage 3A have an eGFR that falls within the normal range for their age, and three-quarters of these don't have any urine markers of kidney damage.
The potential overdiagnosis appeared more substantial in the elderly, for whom current definitions may misclassify at least 30% as having stage 3 disease, particularly stage 3A without albuminuria.
"Clinicians should be careful not to apply disease labels to the many older people whose eGFR falls within the definition of chronic kidney disease but who are at very low risk of developing clinical problems," Moynihan's group urged.
They pointed to what Kaiser Permanente of Southern California has done in using a formula to take age into account in diagnosis, which has brought the prevalence of chronic kidney disease down to about 3% among its enrollees.
They also recommended that clinicians consider age along with the trajectory of eGFR or urinary albumin test results, retest if only a single test suggests reduced renal function, and explain to patients the uncertainty on whether to treat mildly reduced renal function in the absence of other risk factors.
Harms of overdiagnosis include unnecessary treatment and diagnostic intervention, adverse effects from tight blood pressure control, and anxiety among patients, the group added.
"It is in everyone's interest to find the best way to maximize prevention of kidney disease and its consequences while minimizing the risks and cost of overdiagnosis," they concluded.
Moynihan and a co-author reported support from an NHMRC STEP grant and involvement with a conference on preventing overdiagnosis, supported by BMJ and Consumer Reports. Moynihan also has been advising on the BMJ Too Much Medicine series.
A co-author reported consulting for a number of pharmaceutical companies unrelated to end-stage renal disease, advising the dialysis provider American Renal Associates, and receiving honoraria from the American Society of Nephrology and UpToDate.

Skin Checks
Why Should I have a Skin Check?
Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, accounting for around 80% of all new cancers diagnosed each year*. Our specialist Skin Clinic is equipped with the most up to date instruments for skin checks and skin surgery – and all check-ups are bulk billed, as long as you hold a valid Medicare card.
A skin check involves a comprehensive examination of the whole body. If you prefer, we're happy to provide spot checks of small areas, although a full body check is recommended. A typical check-up takes 10 to 15 minutes, but in some cases may take much longer, depending on your skin type, and the number of moles and lesions which need to be examined – your doctor will spend as much time as necessary. If any abnormal or suspicious lesions are found, your doctor will recommend a plan of action, which may include applying ointment, or freezing; taking a biopsy; or removing the lesion surgically, which normally requires another appointment.
Most procedures can be carried out right here in our Clinic under local anaesthetic, and most are bulk billed – but if not, your doctor will inform you of this beforehand. So don't put it off – even if you have no concerns, but have never had your skin checked before, make an appointment today for a fully bulk billed skin check.

Iceberg Hotspots
The news of looming climate change is often dire. Accounts of the impact on wildlife range from the sharp decline in the polar bear population to threats
to emperor penguin colonies. But Maria Vernet,
a research biologist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, was part of a scientific team that found climate change may be precipitating new, rich areas of marine life growth.
The team, which also included researchers from the San Diego Supercomputer Center, sampled icebergs in the remote Weddell Sea, an arm of the Southern Atlantic Ocean. They found that free-drifting icebergs, split off from Antarctic ice shelves as a result of global climate change, are creating "hotspots" for ocean life. These floating ice islands—some as large
as a dozen miles long and more than 120 feet high—are hosting robust communities of phytoplankton, krill, fish and seabirds.
The icebergs, called "moving estuaries" by one researcher, release key terrestrial nutrients far out
to sea. This produces a "halo effect" with increases in sea life more than two miles around the icebergs.

Tic-tac-toe is the one minute game – probably the most played by children – where two players put noughts and crosses on a 3 x 3 grid with the goal to be the first one having three in one row.
Recently somebody started a game while putting his nought in the center of the grid. After the second player (me) put his cross in an edge the first player said that this was a bad move. Instead I should have played side-middle. As an experienced tic-tac-toe player I knew that he was wrong but he tried to argue that he was.
Ok, then let's see how right he was. Here player one plays the noughts while the second one plays the crosses.
As mentioned his first move was the grid center. According to his suggestion the second player should put his cross right below it. Player one's next move could then be the right upper edge.
As of now he has two in a diagonal row. Thus he forces the second player to put his cross in the opposite edge. Player one is choosing the right bottom edge. Interesting! There are now two crosses to be made by player two to not loose the game.
So if the first player starts with the center the second player must choose an edge. In this case the strategy for the second player is to avoid the guaranteed suicide and draw level at least.
For the readers being mathematician, according the German Wikipedia there are 255168 runs of play of which 131184 lead to a winning situation for the first player and 77904 for the second player. 46080 are draws. These numbers only consider the cases with three noughts or crosses in a row or diagonal and a full occupied grid. The pre-game over situations are remained out of consideration.

In the past months I noticed a change in my way of thinking.
I started to reflect on the things and actions that take up most of my time.
And it also made me realize that there're some pretty amazing things that make my life special and are worth the time and energy I spent on them.
I came to the conclusion that my phone or technical devices in general don't deserve a spot on my
'things that are important for my happiness'-list.
I decided I wanted to try and have a 'digital detox'.
I wanted to spend my time reading instead of wasting it by constantly checking my phone.
An app that really helps me with achieving that goal is 'Moment'.
At first, I was pretty shocked how much time I actually spend on my phone. I would say my phone use is quite normal for a 20 year old. I mainly use my phone to text people. How could that result in 4 hours of me actually using my phone?!
I became more and more aware of how much of my precious time I waste. And Moment also helped me analyzing my habits. By the amount of time I spend on my phone I can tell what I was doing that day. At the moment I'm working during the week, so I barely have time to be on my phone. The same goes for the days I spend with my dear ones.
The app is pretty simple and the way it works self-explanatory. But other than simply tracking your phone use you can also a set a screen-free time, your daily limit or ask your phone to remind you to put it away.
If you buy the pro version you get your own 'coach' and participate in a 'phone bootcamp'. Sounds hilarious, I know. Nonetheless, I dropped 50 minutes from my daily phone use and saved proximately 12 hours during my 14 day bootcamp. On day one you have to put your phone down for 30 minutes but there're also way harder tasks like putting your phone to bed early or going a full day without it.
All in all, Moment is a fun way to limit your phone use and it definitely helped me realize how much time I waste away.
Have a wonderful day!
And try putting your phone down from time to time so that you have time to appreciate the beautiful things in life.
Love, Lena ♥

Paint melamine cabinets by removing hardware, sanding the surface, applying primer and painting the cabinets. Painting the melamine brings new life to older, worn cabinets.
- Remove the hardware
Remove any drawer pulls, knobs and hinges from the cabinets. Set the doors and drawers aside, and work on them separately.
- Prepare the surface
Sand all surfaces with 220-grit sandpaper. Roughing up the melamine with sandpaper allows the primer and paint to adhere to the surface for a long-lasting finish. If painting the cabinet interiors, sand these surfaces. Use a vacuum to remove dust created by sanding. Wipe all surfaces with a tack cloth to remove any fine sanding debris.
- Prime the cabinets
Apply the primer, following the manufacturer's directions. Pay particular attention to the drying time for the primer, as it can take up to two weeks for some primers to dry. Allowing the required drying time reduces the scratches that show through the finish coat.
- Apply the paint
Apply at least two coats of finish paint to the cabinets. Allow the first coat to dry before applying the second. Apply the paint using a roller or a foam brush for the smoothest finish. Remove any drips using a single-edge razor blade to slice away the paint. Sand the surface smooth, and apply touch-up paint if necessary.

The First Decade:
"Never Give Up" — Louis Chevrolet
Style was once a luxury reserved for custom-built, one-off creations. A car named Chevrolet changed all that.
The Chevrolet Motor Company was formed in 1911. The new company, started in a Flint garage as a cooperative venture between a Belgian-born race-car driver named Louis Chevrolet and William Durant, entrepreneur and the founder of General Motors. The first Chevrolet, the Classic Six, was a premium car priced at $2,500.
Louis Chevrolet's motto was "never give up." And William Durant didn't give up on the Chevrolet car after the Classic Six failed to earn a profit. He instinctively knew that a high-style yet affordable car could challenge the domination of the utilitarian Ford Model T. Chevrolet joined the GM family in 1917 as the automaker's low-priced brand, and within 10 years the "Chevy" would be the number-one selling car in the United States.
Chevrolet Moto Company formed
Chevrolet hits the streets of Detroit with the "Classic Six."
The Chevy "bowtie" logo appears for the first time. First Chevrolet to feature valve-in-head engine design is introduced.
1914 | Chevrolet Royal Mail Roadster
In late 1913, just two years after its founding, Chevrolet introduced the 1914 "Royal Mail" roadster. It was the first Chevy to wrap almost every Chevrolet-specific attribute into one car. Contemporary and jaunty, the Royal Mail had great visual appeal. Its reliable 171-cid 4-cylinder engine had overhead valves, a premium design that contributed to its relatively high power rating. The car's moderate $750 list price included a top, windshield and speedometer — items that had been accessories on more expensive cars just a few years before. In retrospect, it seems fitting that the Royal Mail was one of the first models to carry the Chevrolet bowtie badge.
Chevy joins GM Corporation. First Chevy truck is sold.
The Twenties:
The Race For Leadership
In 1920, Chevrolet sold one car for every three Fords retailed. Seven years later, Chevy was in first place. While the Model T Ford hadn't changed much from its introduction in 1908 until 1927, Chevrolet's process of continuous update found favor with American car buyers.
By 1925 Chevrolet was offering a wide range of car and truck models. In 1928, Chevrolet unveiled a larger, more luxurious car, but the big news came in 1929. That year Chevy rocked the industry with an all-new six-cylinder engine, standard across the board. Promoted as "A Six for the Price of a Four," the 1929 Chevrolet raced out of showrooms and sent competitors back to the drawing board.
1923 | First Million
Chevy builds its 1-millionth car. Establishes first export assembly plant in Denmark.
1929 | Six-Cylinder
Chevy introduces its first 6-cylinder engine.
The Thirties:
"The Great American Value"
As the Great Depression tightened its grip and consumers watched every dollar, Chevrolet's advertising slogan — "The Great American Value" — was exactly the right message for trying times.
In an era also known for great design, Chevy was the leader of its class. GM chief stylist Harley Earl gave the 1932 Deluxe Roadster the style of a baby Cadillac. The '34 model was another Harley Earl beauty, with streamlined Art Deco styling and "Knee-Action," the first independent front suspension in the low-price class.
In 1935, the Suburban Carry-All, first of a long line of truck-based wagons, was introduced. Late 1930s Chevys had the upscale styling, economical six-cylinder power, and a reputation for dependability that was so right for the times.
1932 | Chevrolet Sport Roadster
Arriving in the midst of the Great Depression, the 1932 Chevrolets were advertised as "The Great American Value." The cars' styling and chrome accents echoed GM's more expensive 1932 Cadillac models. Priced at a low $445, the Chevrolet Sport Roadster included a "rumble seat" for two, built into the rear deck. Chevrolet's 6-cylinder overhead-valve engine, introduced in 1929, provided smooth, economical power. Upgrades for 1932 included a synchromesh transmission that helped eliminate embarrassing gear clash. Without a doubt, the styling of the '32s helped make Chevy America's favorite car that year. Even today, many collectors point to the 1932 Chevrolet when asked to name their favorite Chevy of all time.
1936 | Chevrolet Suburban
The early Suburban was the grandfather of the modern SUV. However, the steel-bodied, truck-based Chevy Suburban "Carryall" originated as a more robust and accommodating alternative to "woodie" station wagons when it was introduced in mid-1935. Continuing into 1936 with few changes, the first generation Suburban was often put to work carrying up to eight persons, plus their gear and luggage, to rugged and remote locations — where work, play or the pursuit of adventure awaited. During the past 76 years, many of the more than 2 million Chevy Suburbans built have continued that original mission, while others have taken on new roles, such as serving as VIP limousines. Along the way, the Suburban has become the longest-lived, continuous production automotive nameplate in the United States.
The | Forties:
Chevrolet Gears Up For The War Effort
Chevrolet entered the 1940s with a popular line of cars with class-leading value, premium appointments and a wide choice of models. The all-new 1942 series featured a dramatic fastback coupe body that was the season's style leader. Then war intervened.
World War II had been spreading across Europe, and after Japan attached the United States on December 7, 1941, civilian car production ceased and Chevrolet factories were quickly converted to support the war effort. During World War II, Chevrolet produced massive quantities of military equipment, armaments, trucks and ambulances for the Allied war effort as part of Detroit's "Arsenal of Democracy."
Car production resumed for the 1946 model year and war-weary consumers eagerly snapped up the first of the post-car Chevys. All-new "Advance-Design" Chevrolet pickups were announced in 1947 and the first all-new passenger cars were released for the 1949 model year.
1948 | Chevrolet Pickup
Chevy's new Advance Design trucks for 1948 were the first completely restyled General Motors vehicles introduced after World War II. From the start, people loved the new Chevy pickups. (And they still do — the Advance Design generation trucks are cherished by collectors as classics today.) The new, roomier cabs for '48 provided spacious three-across seating. The Chevy truck driveline, which had proved itself in every possible way during the war, hadn't needed — or received — much tweaking. Reliable and versatile, the Chevy half-ton pickup continued as the farmer's and tradesman's four-wheeled friend. With the advent of the '48s, more families began to consider a Chevy pickup for a second car.
1949 | Chevrolet Canopy Express
During the decades since the first Chevy trucks rolled out in 1918, some once-common uses for Chevrolet trucks, and the special models that served these needs, have fallen by the wayside. Open-sided panel trucks called Canopy Express trucks were once common and used for many types of delivery services. Before supermarkets came along, "hucksters" commonly vended fresh fruits and vegetables curbside in neighborhoods from such trucks. The GM Heritage Center collection has one of the last 1949 Canopy Express trucks in existence.
The Fifties:
See the USA in your Chevrolet
Whether it was Cadillac style for a Chevy price or Corvette-like performance in an Impala, in the 1950s, it was one iconic Chevy after another.
At the start of the decade, Chevrolet upended the status quo with the Bel Air, a brightly decorated new top-of-the-line hardtop. Patterned after the previous year's Cadillac Coupe de Ville, the Bel Air Sport Coupe was the first low-price car with pillarless hardtop styling and an optional automatic transmission (Powerglide).
The Bel Air series was expanded to include sedans and a convertible in 1953, and the option list grew to include such luxuries as power windows, tinted glass and power brakes. America was advised to "See the USA in your Chevrolet," and millions did just that.
An American legend – the Corvette sports car – was born in 1953. Just 300 were built for that first model year. In 1955, Chevrolet ignited a performance revolution that continues to this day with the introduction of the small block V8. Nestled in the engine bay of the sleek new Bel Air, it was an overnight sensation. The '55 was followed by an even hotter 1956 model, and a deftly restyled '57 that remains a classic icon of the fabulous Fifties.
Another legend, the luxurious Impala series, was born in 1958. Another dramatic Impala arrived for 1959. With its long and low look accentuated by eye-catching horizontal rear fins, Chevrolet rightly proclaimed this one to be "All New All Over Again."
In the space-age Fifties, jet planes soared and rock-and-roll ruled. A ribbon of Interstate highways was rolling out across the land — it was time to see the USA in a Chevrolet.
1953 | Chevrolet Corvette
In 1952, GM styling head Harley Earl and a small team of designers set out to create an American sports car using innovative fiberglass body construction. Crowds thronged the resulting roadster — the Chevrolet Corvette — at the 1953 GM Motorama. A production version, powered by a warmed-up Chevy 6, followed. A few years later, GM engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov, a Russian-born émigré who knew his way around European sports car racing, gave Corvette its high-performance heart. Duntov massaged Ed Cole's elegantly simple and lightweight 1955 Chevy small-block V8 into a racing engine competitive in most any arena. By 1956, a Corvette race car with the right factory authorized parts could give nearly any car in the world a good run. And that was just the beginning.
1955 | Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe
Occasionally, a new car arrives at just the right moment — and history is made. One such standout in the 100 years of Chevrolet is the 1955 Bel Air. Chevrolet had a "durable but dull" image in the early 1950s that cried out to be reenergized. The 1955 Chevy, especially in top-level Bel Air guise, did just that. Debuting just as rock 'n' roll was about to shake America to its cultural roots, the longer, lower and often two-toned 1955 Chevy exuded American optimism. A sizzling new "Turbo-Fire" V8 — the engine that launched Chevys legendary small-block engine family — was optional. Chevy ads called the '55 "The Hot One," an allusion both to its V8 performance and record-breaking sales pace.
1956 | Zora's Wild Ride
To publicize the '56 Chevy's new V8, Zora-Arkus Duntov, father of the Corvette, agreed to race an as-yet-unrevealed preproduction model in the annual Pikes Peak Hill Climb. Assaulting the treacherous course in full camouflage without a roll bar, he not only won his class, he set a new record and catapulted Chevy into the postwar performance spotlight.
1957 | Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad
The strikingly sleek Chevy Nomad of 1955–1957 brought mid-century modern design to the utilitarian station wagon. The Nomad got its name, along with its unique roofline and rear body treatment, from a 1954 GM Motorama Corvette concept wagon conjured up by GM design chief Harley Earl — father, as well, of the 1953 Corvette roadster. Encouraged by the show car's reception, and mindful that America's burgeoning suburbs were absorbing ever more station wagons, Chevrolet developed the Nomad into a premium Bel Air-level "halo" model for their 1955–57 regular wagon lines. The Nomad two-door sport wagon design was produced through 1957. Each of the three model years still has its passionate followers — the original Nomads have never gone out of style.
1959 | Impala Meets Daytona
On February 20, the now-legendary Impala locked in its first-ever win in its first-ever race. Guided by Bob Welborn's steady hand and lead foot, the checkered flag started a trend of Daytona dominance for Chevrolet that continues to this day.
The Sixties:
Chevrolet Sets the Pace
The "Jet-Smooth" Chevrolet Impala was America's favorite ride through the Sixties. With its remarkable combination of full-size glamour, performance and practicality, the space-age Chevy was just about perfect for a high-flying era.
But there was more to Chevy's market domination than one car. Chevrolet expanded its hold on 1960s America with new and innovative compact, midsize and sporty cars. On the truck front, Chevy supplemented its line of large pickups with smaller vans and new kinds of utility vehicles.
Chevrolet introduced restyled pickups and Suburbans for 1960, but the car that grabbed magazine covers was the all-new compact Corvair. The rear-engine newcomer even earned Motor Trend's coveted Car of the Year honors.
An Impala with trend-setting style and a sporty Corvair Monza coupe were popular 1961 entries and another compact car, the Chevy II Nova, arrived in 1962. The Impala Super Sport, with bucket seats and an optional 409 V8, was big news in '62 and the all-new 1963 Corvette Sting Ray, featuring a convertible and new fastback coupe, was rightly heralded as an instant classic.
And for Chevy drivers, it just kept getting better. The 1964 Chevelle Malibu found an immediate following as did the sport-styled Camaro in 1967. Camaro paced Indy again in 1969 and the Z28 edition found great success on the racetrack and in the showroom.
From the tail-finned '60 Impala to the muscular '69 Chevelle SS396, in the 1960s, it was one hit after another for Chevrolet.
1960 | Mr. Corvette goes to France
Because of an unofficial ban on factory racing at the time, legendary sportsman Briggs Cunningham introduced Corvette to the continent. In its international debut, Corvette ruled the "Big Bore" GT category, scoring the first-ever Chevrolet victory at Le Mans − a winning tradition proudly continued today, most recently with a spectacular GTE Pro class trophy at the 2011 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race.
1963 | Chevrolet Impala
The Beach Boys sang harmonies to Chevy's 409-cid big-block V8, rated at a thumping 425 horsepower for 1963. The hardtop '63 Impala Sport Coupe, with its convertible-look roofline, crisply tailored flanks and pointed fenders, beautifully showcased the big brute of an engine. The sleek 1963 Impala could also be had with a Chevy 283 or 327 small-block V8 engine, and was even available as a 6-cylinder model. The popular Super Sport Package included special SS exterior details and front bucket seats with a console. Collectors drool over '63 Impalas today — especially when there is an original 409 V8 under the hood — and the '63 is also a favorite with hot rodders and customizers.
1963 | Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray "Split-Window" Coupe
By 1962, the Chevy Corvette had earned global respect for its performance prowess and was on its way to becoming the favorite, if never official, car of America's astronauts. It even starred in a hit TV show about a couple of guys on a perpetual road trip on Route 66. Then came the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray. Based on a one-off sports racer penned by GM design chief Bill Mitchell, the Corvette Sting Ray "Split-Window" Coupe was quite possibly the most exciting production car America had yet experienced. Beyond its superbly tailored form, the Sting Ray had a new and effective independent rear suspension, offered extra-potent, fuel-injected small-block V8 power, and, best of all, was surprisingly affordable.
1964 | The Chaparral Can Ams
In 1964, Jim Hall, with covert assistance from Chevrolet Research and Development, shocked race-sanctioning bodies and forever changed the motorsports world. His incredibly innovative designs, incorporating high mounted wings, movable aero packages, underbody suction fans and more, dominated the Can Am circuit, snatching victory at the USRRC Championships in '64, the 12 Hours of Sebring in '65, and the Nurburgring 1,000-kilometer in '66. Following a stunning 1-2 finish at Laguna Seca, race officials finally caught up to the Chaparrals, spelling the beginning of the end for the program. Gone, but not forgotten, the Chaparral spirit lives on in every Cruze Eco we build.
1967 | Chevrolet Pickup
The 1967 Chevy trucks led truck design into a new era. Leaner and cleaner in every line, the new models appeared lower and longer — somehow managing to look both car-like and rugged at the same time. Their large, rounded wheelhouses added a design touch evocative of several popular GM cars of the era. The '67s were more durable than ever, and were to their core tough machines designed first of all to get the job done. Many features of the new pickup — and the Suburban that shared its styling — were designed to appeal to the still relatively small, but growing, number of customers seeking comfortable and capable trucks for recreational use or personal transportation.
1969 | Chevrolet Camaro
Providing a spectacular grand finale to the first-generation (1967–69) Camaro, the freshly restyled '69s raced through a year of unprecedented exhilaration. Chevy's hot four-seat sportster was turning up at the head of the pack everywhere, it seemed. The Z28 was headed for a Trans-Am racing championship, several dozen specially produced ZL-1 aluminum-engined Camaro coupes were providing thunderous thrills at drag strips, and a specially detailed RS/SS 396 Convertible popped up just in time to pace the 1969 Indy 500. No 1969 Camaro would ever become just another used car. The spirit of the now-iconic '69 is subtly evident throughout the forward-looking 2010 Camaro.
The Seventies:
"Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet"
As the 1970s dawned, Chevrolet flexed its muscles with cars that are still celebrated four decades later. The elegant Monte Carlo "personal luxury coupe" was a new entry for '70 and very successful. The 1970 Chevelle SS454 with an available LS6 450-hp big-block V8 was one of the most powerful production automobiles of the era, and the totally restyled '70 Camaro was simply a stunner.
In 1971 Chevy announced Vega, a small car with a sleek, Camaro-influenced appearance. Also new for '71: a beautiful new Caprice/Impala series with a dramatically upscale appearance offering a clear challenge to much costlier automobiles. The 1973 Monte Carlo was Motor Trend's Car of the Year. One of Chevrolet's most memorable advertising campaigns — "Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet" — hit the airways in 1975. As gasoline prices moved upwards, Chevrolet answered the challenge with the fuel-efficient 1976 Chevette, a "downsized" Impala in 1977 and smaller versions of Monte Carlo and Malibu in 1978.
1970 | Chevrolet El Camino SS
The El Camino "passenger-car pickup" first appeared in 1959 and was, along with the '60 edition, based on the full-size Chevy. Following a three-year hiatus, the El Camino returned for 1964 as a derivative of the new intermediate-size 1964 Chevelle. The restyled '68 El Camino was as sleek as any vehicle with a pickup bed could be. That same year, the El Camino was finally available with Super Sport equipment, and buyers could fully partake of the additional muscle car options offered for the Chevelle SS. The 1970 El Camino SS, stuffed with 396- or 454-cid Chevy big-block power, is the ultimate El Camino of the muscle car era.
1970 | Chevrolet Chevelle SS
The muscle car era peaked in 1970, and leading the way to the summit was the SS 454 Chevelle. Chevrolet's 454-cid big-block, the largest displacement production Chevy V-8 ever, was new for 1970. That same year, GM first permitted engines larger than 400 cid in its intermediate-sized cars. One result was perhaps the most legendary of all Chevy Super Sports, the SS 454 Chevelle. The available 450-horsepower LS-6 big-block could launch the SS 454 to 100 mph in about 13 seconds. Original, unmodified LS-6 SS 454s are rare, investment-grade, collectibles today. However, many enthusiasts build their dream Chevelle SS from Chevy's Performance Parts catalog – the GM Heritage Center's '70, with its modern 505-horsepower, LS7 427 V8, is a sterling example.
1971 | Chevrolet C/10 Cheyenne Pickup
The trend had been building for years, and by 1971, it became impossible to ignore: Mainstream America was falling in love with Chevy trucks. The 1971 trucks helped Chevrolet set a new car and truck calendar year sales record of more than 3 million vehicles that year. On a model-year basis, Chevy truck production for 1971 totaled 739,478, also a record at that point. Of all the Chevrolet truck models offered for '71, by far the most popular was the 2WD C/10 pickup, with more than a quarter million built. Spurring the half-ton'' acceptance was the new-for-1971 Cheyenne premium trim package, which raised Chevy pickup interior style and comfort to new levels.
1976 | Chevrolet C/10 Stepside Pickup
Tradition counts in the truck business, and wise truck makers stay mindful of the past while moving ahead. When Chevy launched its smooth-sided, double-walled Fleetside pickup box in mid-1958, it kept the Stepside box in the lineup as well. It would remain available, one way or another, for another 45 years. The classic Stepside design had a small step — really a vestige of the old-time running board — mounted ahead of each rear fender. These were useful for reaching items collected at the front of the bed. Convenience aside, some Chevy pickup buyers just plain liked the look of a Chevy Stepside. The dealer-added paint striping and aftermarket wheels on the Stepside shown provided an individualized custom appearance.
The Eighties:
New Challenges, New Chevrolets
New kinds of Chevys were introduced in the 1980s, mostly smaller, more efficient and front-wheel drive. The '80 Citation, marketed as "The First Chevy of the Eighties," exemplified this approach with a hatchback design that combined small-car exterior dimensions with the spaciousness of a midsize car. An aero-shaped 1982 Camaro garnered high praise from enthusiasts as did the all-new 1984 Corvette. Other memorable Chevys from the "Heartbeat of America" era included the sporty Beretta coupe and an all-new Silverado Pickup in 1988.
1989 | Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1
Chevy thunder rolled across Europe in 1989 when 24 preproduction ZR-1 Corvettes arrived on the continent for a press tour in the south of France. The ZR-1, also known as the "King of the Hill" Corvette, was powered by a technically advanced 32-valve 4-cam 350-cid V8, developed with Group Lotus of England. Although quite tractable at low speeds, the engine — coded LT5 — had breathtaking performance right to the red line. Engine supply delays pushed the official ZR-1 introduction into the 1990 model year. The GM Heritage Center has two of the 84 ZR-1s built as 1989 models in its collection. In 2009, Chevrolet resurrected the ZR1 designation (sans hyphen) for a new supercharged Corvette model that surpasses the 1990-1995 ZR-1 in performance.
The Nineties:
America Goes Trucking
For the first time, in the 1990s, Chevrolet sold more trucks than cars in the United States. The legendary Suburban got a makeover in 1992, emerging as a smoother-riding and even more capable SUV. The popular Blazer 4x4 was updated in 1995 and a new four-door Tahoe SUV made its debut the same year. On the car side, a new Camaro emerged in 1993, drawing rave reviews and the Impala SS nameplate returned on a full-size performance sedan in '94. The Chevy Monte Carlo coupe, a legend on the street and on the NASCAR track, returned in 1995, this time on a front-wheel drive platform. During this era, many Chevrolet small vehicles were marketed under the GEO nameplate.
1993 | Chevrolet Camaro Z28
The fourth-generation Camaro, featuring completely new and extremely smooth styling, was introduced for 1993 as a coupe only. The Z28 featured a 275-horsepower version of the Corvette LT-1 small-block V8 introduced the year before — making the Camaro performance model the closest car to a Corvette available with a rear seat. A Camaro Z28 paced the 1993 Indianapolis 500, marking the fourth time the brand had served as the Indy Pace Car (earlier appearances were in 1967, 1969 and 1982). As had become tradition, a Pace Car Edition package was offered through Chevy dealers — 645 1993 Z28s were built with the colorfully pin-striped Indy Pace Car package.
1996 | Impala SS
Chevrolet closed out its rear-wheel-drive, full-size sedan lineage in fine style with the 1994-96 Impala SS. The cars offered impressive performance — their 260-horsepower 5.7L LT1 Corvette small-block V8 engine could propel the 4,200-lb. cruisers to more than 90 mph in a quarter mile. A sport-tuned suspension, extra-powerful four-wheel disc brakes, and wide 17-inch tires on special aluminum wheels, were also standard. Exterior moldings matched the body color — black-only in 1994, with dark cherry metallic and dark grey-green also offered during 1995 and 1996. Inside, leather seating surfaces and a leather-covered steering wheel exuded luxury. Originally delivered to a collector, the last 1996 Impala SS built now resides at the GM Heritage Center.
1997 | Victory is electric
Echoing Zora Arkus-Duntov's dramatic test run in '56, Larry Ragland made history driving a special Chevy S-10 to victory at the 1997 Pikes Peak Hill Climb. This time, without using a single drop of gas. Not content with taking the Electric Vehicle Class, sounding the death knell for oil and changing the world, Larry went on to prove the viability of electric power − and lay the groundwork for the Chevy Volt − with wins in the 1998-99 Super Stock Truck Class and overall victory in the 2000 High Tech Truck Class.
1997 | Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
The fifth-generation (C5) 1997 Corvette debuted to global acclaim. Everything was fresh, from the taut yet fluid styling, to the new LS1 small-block V8, refined chassis and improved body construction. The transmission was now mounted at the rear axle, an arrangement that contributed to a desirable 50-50 front-to-rear weight distribution. Equipped with an available 6-speed manual transmission, the 1997 C5 could reach 170 mph. From its especially strong hydroformed box frame up, the 1997 C5 was designed to be exceptionally rugged. The C5 convertible, followed the coupe into production a year later, further demonstrated the effectiveness of the new structural design.
1998 | Dale Earnhardt Sr. wins the Daytona 500
After 19 years of chasing the checkered flag at the beach, Dale Sr. finally conquered the Daytona 500, recording his first and only victory in the "Great American Race." The scene that followed is widely considered to be one of the most touching moments in sports history, as crews and competitors alike lined Pit Road to shake his hand on the long, slow drive to Victory Lane.
The 2000s:
SSR Headlines a Noteworthy Decade
After a three-year hiatus, the Impala returned as a front-wheel drive family sedan in 2000. Other early-decade news included a restyled Suburban in 2000, a rugged TrailBlazer SUV in 2002, and a Euro-influenced Malibu in 2004. A retro-styled SSR pickup/roadster with a retractable hardtop roof was an attention-getter and Indy Pace Car in 2005. A handsome new Impala and a heritage-influenced HHR sport wagon arrived in 2006, and a beautifully reshaped Malibu received rave reviews in 2008. The ultra-high-performance Corvette ZR1 made a 2009 debut as the fastest production automobile in GM history. Later that year, enthusiasts salivated as the eagerly awaited 2010 Camaro hit the streets.
2008 | Corvette versus the World
2008: Corvette slayed the monsters − BMW, Ferrari and Porsche − to seize its eighth consecutive Manufacturer's Championship, making it the most successful team in American Le Mans Series history and conveniently placing Chevrolet in the crosshairs of global competition.
2008 | Chevrolet Hybrid Tahoe
The 2008 Chevy Tahoe Hybrid helped introduce the two-mode hybrid's green technology to full-size SUVs. In 2004, GM, BMW and DaimlerChrysler engineers set out to jointly develop a two-mode hybrid system suitable for full-size cars and SUVs. A system developed by GM's Allison Transmission division for use on transit buses was the starting point. The two-mode hybrid system channels gas and electric motive power through an electronically variable transmission, enabling a significant improvement in fuel economy, compared to standard gas-engine powertrains. Chevrolet Tahoe and Silverado models with the two-mode system are still the fuel economy leaders in their segments, with EPA-estimated 20 MPG city and 23 MPG highway.
Chevrolet Today:
Still Setting the Pace
In 1911, when Louis Chevrolet built his first automobile, he could not have imagined what would follow. At last count, 214 million Chevrolet cars and trucks.
From the legendary small block V8 the first air bag to the Le Mans-winning Corvette, Chevrolet has a history of challenging conventional thinking. Today, we're using our technological know-how to build a better future for all of us
The extended-range Chevrolet Volt is starting conversations, winning accolades and literally changing the way the world drives. Chevrolet is the global leader in small cars with Cruze, Sonic and the upcoming Spark EV. The momentum continues with the world's most comprehensive fleet of vehicles powered by ethanol, natural gas, electricity and hydrogen.
2010 | Chevrolet Camaro
The TV commercial that introduced the 1967 Camaro showed it emerging from an erupting volcano. For 35 years, an unforgettable lineup of fun-to-own, fun-to-drive Camaros emerged from that metaphoric volcano. In 2002, the mountain went dormant. Then, at the 2006 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, a new Camaro concept emerged to a standing ovation from the media and fans packing the convention hall — and rekindled the passion of the iconic 1969 Camaro. After the concept Camaro upstaged what looked like several volcanoes worth of pyrotechnics and special effects in the 2007 film, TRANSFORMERS®†, the pressure to put it into production intensified. Much to the delight of Camaro enthusiasts everywhere, the new Camaro that emerged onto the automotive scene for 2010 was wonderfully faithful to the concept design — and to the spirit of the original. With the recent addition of a convertible, and soon an ultimate performance ZL1, the Camaro revival is just beginning.
2010 | Cruze crushes WTCC
In a shocking departure from Chevy's signature large displacement V8s, the Cruze made its presence known at the World Touring Car Championship in 2010. After a season dominating BMWs around the globe, Chevrolet scored a devastating one-two punch − seizing both the Driver's Championship and the Manufacturer's Championship. Proving that, yes, there just might be a replacement for displacement.
2011 | Chevrolet Volt
Battery powered for the first 25 to 50 miles after charging up, the revolutionary electric-powered Chevy Volt with its gas-powered generator seamlessly provides additional electricity to continue on for another 300 miles or so, when needed. This extended-range capability frees Volt owners from the range anxiety that can haunt owners of battery-powered cars. Volt was voted 2011 North American Car of the Year by automotive journalists, has collected Green Car Journal's Car of the Year® award, and was chosen Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year. As of early July 2011, Chevrolet estimated that about two-thirds of the more than 2 million miles driven so far by Volt owners had been on electricity from the grid.
2012 | Chevrolet Corvette Centennial Edition
The 2012 Centennial Edition Corvette pays homage to Chevrolet's history and racing heritage, even as its bold, edgy monochrome appearance places it firmly in the present. The Centennial Edition package (code ZLC) can be ordered on any 2012 Corvette model, and is available exclusively in carbon flash metallic, with satin-black graphics and unique Centennial satin black wheels accented by red brake calipers. Ever since 1955, when the fledgling Corvette was first fitted with the new small-block Chevrolet V8, Corvette has personified the passion and performance of Chevrolet, and it has held a unique position as America's sports car, winning fans and races worldwide as erstwhile competitors came and went. Most recently, Corvette won the GTE class at the 2011 24 Hours of Le Mans, beating Ferrari, BMW and Porsche.

Schupf '58, highlights the artist's virtuosic work outside of the realm of monumental sculpture, the medium for which he is typically known. This series of 20 intimately sized prints by Serra originated after he revisited and made sketches of his sculptures installed at the 2001 Venice Biennale. The drawings of the sculptures Serra made in his notebook informed these textural--even sculptural--etchings that he executed with master printmakers from Gemini G.E.L. (Graphic Editions Limited). Accompanied by three additional prints by Serra from Schupf's collection, the exhibition reveals the skillful and innovative use of printmaking by the artist to rejuvenate and perpetuate his artistic invention. An illustrated catalogue, featuring an interview with collector Paul J. Schupf and Xavier Fumat, the master printmaker who collaborated with Serra on the works featured in the exhibition, accompanies the show.
