Miracle wireless puppy on Toshiba laptop (Sat Pro 6100)!!
I just want to tell the world that I'm connecting to this board via wireless Puppy - 1.0.3 booted off CD on Toshiba laptop (Satellite Pro 6100 with built in wirelss card). I followed the instructions in the Wiki and it basically worked first time - Brilliant!
I'm not sure what the chipset is - if anyone is interested and can tell me how to find out I'll post an answer

The page I found so helpful was http://www.goosee.com/puppy/wikka/WiFi
My laptop is a Toshiba 6100 Satellite Pro. It has a Toshiba wireless mini-PCI card which Windows telss me is located on CardBus 0. It's built in and not plugged in as a PCMCIA card or USB (I can't get Puppy to see my USB WLAN stick yet, but that's another issue...)
The chipset is Orinoco.
As I suspect there will be other readers who are almost as clueless about Linux as I am, I'll make this very verbose - apologies to all you Linux experts.
1. Open an RXVT window and type
This identified 3 devices lo, eth0 (the built-in LAN NIC on my motherboard) and eth1, which was obviously the wireless card becuase it reported lots of data about frequency, protocol etc.
2. customise the wireless configuration. WiKi suggests:
iwconfig eth1 channel 7 essid pupppplaypen mode managed key s:puppy
I had to issue each of these commands separately (e.g. iwconfig eth1 essid XXXXXXXXX) until I figured that the card did not want to accept a channel number. I don't know why - it kept telling me that it did not want to have its frequency set. My AccessPoint is set to channel 1, so I left that parameter out, hoping the laptop WLAN card would default to channel 1.
The essid goes in without quotes. For the key I tried putting in the passphrase - although this is accepted, the hexadecimal string that resulted was wrong (you can see what has been set by typing iwconfig again, without params).
So I put the key in myself in hex. I did not use any kind of prefix, just typed it in in groups of 4 digits separated by hyphens:
iwconfig eth1 key 12a3-43b7-12...etc
3. Once you are connected to the wireless network, you need to set the IP address (ignoring the use of DHCP for the time being) with a command looking like:
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.41 netmask 255.255.255.0
The above assumes that your local net has an address range of 192.168.1.xxx - commonly the case.
You do need to know an IP address which is likely to work - I knew that 192.168.0.4 would work and was available (I looked on the DHCP table of my router by accessing it from a wired machine).
4. Now for a route command to tell Puppy the way to other kennels:
route add -net default gw 192.168.1.254 netmask 0.0.0.0
The gateway (gw) is the router gateway on your managed network.
...and you need to know this Ip address too before you start. At this point I knew things were working because although I couldn't get the Internet through Mozilla, I could ping my router successfully.
5. Now open ROX and find /etc/resolv.conf; use Open as Text
Enter the DNS name server addresses given by your ISP, e.g.
nameserver 220.127.116.11
nameserver 18.104.22.168
Save the file and exit ROX.
I couldn't find this info on my router, or on my ISP's website, so I just used the one given here, on the basis that whoever wrote the Wiki probably used a real DNS address and it worked.
6. Test that the connection works via Ping, e.g.
ping www.google.com
Great joy as ping returns - pause to marvel at Puppy's great excellence.
7. Go to Puppy menu and call up Network configuration wizard so that eth1 can get properly set up by DHCP.
8. Announce succesful link to world by writing triumphant message on Puppy forum!

For goodness' sake, no apology necessary. This is the kind of thing the forum needs, to make it most helpful. I'm sure that the most expert of us will find something here that he or she didn't know.
Thank you.
This one's going into the index.

good deal
I'll try this soon on an ancient Toshiba 220 running Puppy with a 16-bit PCMICA MIcrosoft Wireless MN-520 (purchased as a closeout for a few bux as M$ has left the wifi hardware world) that AFAIK uses the Orinoco chipset and driver. I spent untold hours getting that to play on Slackware 9x....
tnx for info + 73...

Yes, it's amazing! I tried for AGES to get my IBM Thinkpad 315ED (166 Mhz/48MBRAM) to go wireless with an old Laneed wifi card and Win 2000 with no luck. Then I popped in Damn Small Linux 1.2 which connected automatically. Then I thought just maybe it would work with Puppy, and it did simply using the WizardWizard ethernet configuration helper. The auto driver selector did the trick. So it's actually better than Windows in my case.
Puppy Linux makes old computers like new!

Come by First Presbyterian to check us out! We welcome all visitors and invite you to become part of our community. Every Sunday morning we have worship at 10:00 am. Watch this short video for a glimpse into the First Church worship experience. There are many activities at First Church - you are welcome to visit and you are invited to participate!
See the full calendar of church events.
Read our current e-newsletter.
"I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples."
~ Mother Teresa ~
This Sunday, please be advised we will be worshiping online as a faith community. We may be healthy but this is bigger than the individual-- it is a community moment. We must avoid crowds to keep our vulnerable neighbors safe.
Please stay home and join us on Sunday August 9th on fpc.church or our Facebook Page at 10 AM.
On Sunday August 9th, Rev. Thorne will deliver the sermon "More Than We Can Bear" based on Lamentations 1:1-6 and Luke 17:5-10. Click here to view the worship bulletin.
We are located at 124 Henry Street in Brooklyn Heights. There are many ways to get to First Presbyterian Church. We recommend public transit, walking, or bicycling. You can drive, though parking in the neighborhood is a challenge.
By public transit: Take the 2 or 3 subway to Clark Street Station, the A or C to the High Street Station, the R to the Court Street Station, or the 4 or 5 to Borough Hall. By bus there are many choices: including the 103, 25, 26, 38, 41, and 52 lines. Consult the Trip Planner on the MTA website for your best option. Better yet, get an app for all your New York City transit needs.
By car: From Manhattan, take the Brooklyn Bridge to the first exit on the Brooklyn side (Cadman Plaza West). Stay left as the exit splits. Go through one light and take a left at the next intersection onto Henry Street. The Church is on the right just past Clark Street.
From the Brooklyn Queens Expressway: Take the Cadman Plaza West Exit, turn East onto Cadman Plaza West, then South onto Henry Street.
Parking: Parking in the neighborhood is challenging. Public transit is recommended. Parking is not permitted on Henry Street in front of the church. Parking on Clark Street is recommended. Cadman Plaza Garage at 75 Henry Street is a public parking garage one block away from the church.
Here is a map of our location, and driving directions from your starting point are available.
Sign up to get the church's weekly e-newsletter.
You can expect to be welcomed with a smile and a program that will explain the worship service and current events around the church. You can dress casually or dress up; it doesn't matter to us! You can sit wherever you would like, but if you really want to feel a part of the group from your first day, why not try sitting in the middle or toward the front? If you have children who would rather spend time with other children, ask one of the ushers for directions to childcare or how the Sunday School works. An usher can introduce your child and you to a responsible adult who can reassure both of you that Sunday School (or childcare) will be fun, safe, and a great way to meet some others!
Worship services are relatively informal, but follow a typical Protestant format. There is singing, followed by prayers, readings, music, and preaching. Most of what you will need to know is in the program that you get at the door. The Sunday worship service lasts about an hour and fifteen minutes. Children sit with their parents for the first part, and leave for Sunday School about 20 minutes into the service. They return to sit with their families again near the end of the service.
Early in the service we will welcome all newcomers, and we may ask you to stand and tell us your name and where you are from. This is not to embarass you, but so that people will know your name during the greeting time and later, after church is over. You might be surprised to find out that someone lives near where you live, or is from your hometown!
After the service everyone is invited to go upstairs for some coffee, juice, and snack food, and to meet with others who either already come to First Presbyterian or, maybe like you, are here for the first time.
Your children are welcome at First Presbyterian Church. They may sit with you, or they can stay with our childcare givers during worship. Older children may attend Sunday School where they will be with children of their own age and will have plenty of fun and educational activities while you worship. An usher can help you find the right kind of situation for you and your children.
Like us. Follow us. See us. Listen to us.
Is there something else you need to know? Email or call the church office and ask!

My friend who is a homeschooling parent suggested I share this contest as she loved the idea and is having her kids participate. I work for a game and toy company, University Games, in San Francisco and we are organizing on and promoting a young game makers' contest, The National Young Game Inventors' Contest™ (NYGIC).
NYGIC is an annual contest that encourages imagination, critical thinking, deductive reasoning and creativity through board game invention. We invite kids ages 5-12 to use their imaginations to invent, design and submit a complete board game. In a world filled with high tech toys, the contest is an effort to reach out to children and families to bring back social interaction through game play.
The inventors have a chance to win prizes including a trip to San Francisco, Toy R Us gift cards, and more. In addition, the winning game may be produced by University Games for our 2014 lineup.
For more information and to enter, visit the link –http://www.universitygames.com/nygic/
Happy to chat more to provide information. Look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you!

If the fight sequences in "Killers" seemed pretty realistic, it might be because producer and star Ashton Kutcher was causing some real-life mayhem on set.
Kutcher's accidental real kick to onscreen foe Rob Riggle's face was just one of the injuries reported.
"He didn't hit the moneymakers," Riggle told PopcornBiz, flashing a full smile that would make any hockey player envious.
"But he chipped a back tooth," Riggle told us. "There wasn't blood. He just flattened it out a bit."
During the "Killer's" press conference, Kutcher explained that pre-movie he learned all kinds of fight training -- perhaps a little too well.
"I should have learned how to movie fight," he added. "In the first scene I did, I knocked out the stunt guy -- that was a bad ordeal."
They were doing a fight scene onboard a yacht. The stunt guy gave a movie punch to Kutcher, who blocked it and delivered a too-real blow right back.
"I knocked him out," he said. "I felt real bad about that."
"And I kicked Rob in the face," said Kutcher glumly. "I hurt a lot of people."
Riggle, a former Marine, said that he had a few injuries after his "Killers" ordeal , "I think I suffered more in the fight scene than I ever suffered in Afghanistan. I chipped a tooth, sprained an ankle and twisted my thumbs back."
"Ashton's a scrappy young man."
Kutcher said he learned his lesson. "I should just have the stunt guy do everything to be honest," he said. "And I'll just make the jokes."
Ashton Kutcher Hurts People, For Real

Many camps allow the use of their facilities by outside parties ("user group"1) — that is, groups and individuals other than customary and traditional campers. These user groups and their events vary greatly — an afternoon wedding and reception, a corporate conference, a family reunion, or an extended stay by another outside group. Arrangements may call for not only the use of camp facilities but the services of camp employees, and participation in certain regular camp activities.
These arrangements allow the camp to maximize use of its facility, and increase its revenues, particularly during the off season when its regular camp programs are not in session. However, significant challenges come with the benefits of this type of facilities use. This category of camp visitors requires special consideration because their activities, and the camp environment, will expose them — and the camp administration — to risks that are markedly different from those present in the traditional camp experience.
As a result, it is important that the parties understand and document, in a written agreement, precisely (for example) what is to take place, where, when, under whose supervision, and ultimately, who is responsible, should there be disappointment, injury, or other loss. This article addresses the issues of these arrangements and the elements to consider in a written agreement between a camp and user group. Thoughtful consideration in developing these agreements will hopefully eliminate or greatly reduce surprises, disappointments . . . and liabilities.
It can be easy to find a user group eager to use your camp facilities for a weekend retreat, or a multi-day or even multi-week stay — particularly if you have a well-kept facility in a scenic area. The more challenging issue is how to define the relationship, to determine, for example, who is responsible for what and other key issues. Use of a written agreement between the parties is valuable for two basic reasons:
- It documents the parties' understanding of their respective responsibilities and important details of the arrangement before the event begins. This "information exchange" is good business — increasing the understanding between the parties, and hopefully minimizing the risk that incidents may occur during the event.
- It allows the parties to address their respective liability to each other, in the event of an incident during the program or otherwise. Liabilities can arise in the event one party fails to perform some aspect of the agreement, or, in the event of damage to the camp's property, or injury or death to a participant, staff member, or volunteer during the program.
The ACA-Accreditation Standards2 ("ACA Standards") provide a general description of the camp/user group arrangement and note certain key provisions that either must be addressed (for accredited camps or those seeking accreditation) or should be considered. The ACA standards advise, importantly, that a camp entering into a user group arrangement should work with informed legal counsel to craft a written agreement that takes into consideration relevant and applicable state law.3
Written Agreement — Relevant Components
One basic premise: the document should include the elements of an enforceable contract. Generally: 1) a mutual agreement, a "meeting of the minds"; 2) consideration; 3) legal competency (that the parties are legally "competent" to contract — e.g., age or mental capacity); and 4) that the purpose of the agreement is not prohibited by law. Courts will also consider whether there is equality of bargaining power (including freedom from coercion).
Key Components
Consider the following key components in your written agreement:
The document should be titled accurately. The ACA-accreditation standards refer to "lease," "rental," or "use agreement or contract." Another title used in these types of arrangements is "facilities use" agreement. Confer with your legal counsel to determine the most appropriate title for your document. The bottom line is that regardless of the title, the contents of the document should accurately describe the agreement between the parties on the specific arrangement.
Consideration is something of value which is exchanged for a promise made. A contract without adequate consideration may be found unenforceable. Although value moving between the parties is usually apparent, it is customary to state that value. In use agreements (and other contracts), consideration is often expressed as the "promises and covenants contained in the (this) agreement, and other valuable consideration." Part of the consideration is clearly the fee paid by the user group.
Defining Terms
It may be necessary or convenient to define, or at least clarify, terms used frequently in the document. This doesn't necessarily mean a separate "definition of terms" section. Clarification can be achieved in the text of the agreement. A good example might be a definition or identification of the parties, and "property" or "facilities" to be used by the user group (and importantly, any restrictions or limits on use, which should be identified somewhere in the agreement). Definition of the term "program" or "event" might be necessary.
Brief Description of the Event
A brief description of the event; i.e., what the scheduled use is — location, dates, etc. (This may also be reflected in an attachment.)
Beginning and Ending Point of Event
When does the program begin and end? The arrival and departure dates are important, of course. However, the parties should also be clear regarding the actual beginning and ending point of the event. This serves to identify when each parties' respective responsibilities (in regard to the event) begin and end. For example, is the camp responsible for picking up the group at an airport or bus terminal? Does the event begin at the point of pick-up? Or, does it begin when the user group arrives at the camp facilities? Sometimes, incidents occur in the travel phase — getting to and from the event location. Accurate identification of these details can be key.
Responsibilities and Services Provided by Each Party
The camp is offering its facilities for use by the group and is often providing the user group access to a variety of activities. In many cases, camp staff provide supervision or instruction for certain activities, serve meals, or provide other support for the user group. The user group, too, can be expected to take on a variety of responsibilities. In fact, overall supervision of the event and the conduct of the user group should generally be the responsibility of the user group "leaders," unless responsibility is specifically assigned to the camp and its staff.
This section of the written agreement can be broken down into "responsibilities and services provided" by each party. Important aspects to address include:
- What activities are being offered to the user group — that is, what will they be allowed to do at the facility? May they access, for example, the climbing wall, challenge course, water front, or swimming pool? Will camp staff be supervising or instructing in regard to any or all of these activities? It is critical to detail what activities are (and are not) offered to the user group, and whether or not camp staff will be supervising or instructing any or
all activities.
- What facilities and services are provided by the camp? Examples include use of cabins, bedding, meals, and meeting rooms.
- Either here, or in some part of the agreement, the camp should specify those parts of the camp facilities or premises which are available to the user group, and should take care to specify those which are off limits. The camp may require, for example, that no unaccompanied minors be allowed at the waterfront, or that each occupant of a water craft wear a personal floatation device. Some of these restrictions may be appropriately put in a "rules and regulations" section (see Camp Rules and Regulations). Finally, some of these issues may be addressed in the camp's orientation for user groups conducted on the premises (for example, discussion of the physical boundaries of the property, or placement of "restricted area" or "no trespassing" signs) and/or in a release or waiver form signed by participants before the beginning of the event (see Participant Agreements on page 4).4
- Responsibility for participant supervision — during both organized or unorganized activities, free time, and nighttime. Again, the camp may agree to supervision of certain activities, particularly if the camp is offering its staff to, for example, supervise waterfront or equine activities, challenge course use, or lead a backpacking trip. However, as mentioned above, unless supervision is specifically agreed to by the camp and its staff, supervision should be identified as the user group's responsibility. It is critical that this aspect of the program be clearly described in
the agreement.
- Responsibility for medical issues — the relevance of these issues will depend upon the nature of the activity or event.5 Issues may include collection of pertinent medical or health information and screening (including consideration of and staff for special services or accommodations [e.g., for those with disabilities]), written consent to treat participants, provision of medical supplies, first aid, emergency response, transportation, and evacuation. Again, the allocation or assignment of responsibilities should be clearly described.
- Transportation — who is responsible for transportation in and around camp property, into town, or otherwise?
- User group minimum or maximum group size, group "count" before arrival, or other special needs or details.
- ACA standards require that the user group attend a mandatory orientation at camp, to understand the camp's safety policies and regulations.6 Such a provision could be listed here, under user-group responsibilities. The scope of any orientation will depend, of course, on the nature and duration of the event. A descriptive handout may be sufficient, in lieu of a formal orientation session.
- Catch all — it is difficult to list all the potential responsibilities that may enter into this type of arrangement. Because the user group generally takes on a large measure of responsibility when it uses the camp facilities, this section of the document might include a "catch all" for the user group — that any aspect of the event or use of camp property not specifically identified in the agreement as the camp's responsibility, is the responsibility of the user group.
Damage to or Loss of Property
Address any policy regarding user-group damage to camp property (which might be defined to include premises, facilities, and equipment), cleaning of facilities before departure, and responsibility for loss or damage to user-group participants' property (e.g., personal belongings).
Payment Terms, Including Required Deposit, Cancellation, and Refund
How will the camp be compensated for the use, and what are the payment terms? Is there a minimum "facilities" fee? Is the group committed to a minimum number of participants? These and related matters should be clearly set out in the agreement.
Independent Contractor Relationship
It is important to define in the agreement that the parties are independent of one another, and not acting as each other's agents or employees. Identifying this relationship between the parties is significant, as the parties want to conduct themselves independently, in order to respect each other's separate responsibilities and liabilities. The parties' words and conduct should be consistent with the written agreement, or liability may be expanded or changed. Work with your legal counsel to understand these important concepts and to integrate appropriate language, consistent with applicable state law.
Camp Rules and Regulations
A description of pertinent camp rules and regulations should be included in this section (e.g., restrictions on use
of the property, rules about use or possession of drugs, smoking or drinking, swimming, transportation, etc.).
Participant Agreements
Depending upon the duration of the stay, and exposure to hazards, staff competencies and activities, the camp may insist on individual releases or waiver7 forms from members of the user group.8 It would be unusual for a camp to expect afternoon or evening wedding guests to sign a release. The hazards are minimal, the duration of the stay is brief, and the participation of the camp and its staff is limited. On the other hand, if a user group expects to be on the premises for an extended period, to rely on camp staff significantly, to use the waterfront facility, the archery range, the challenge course or water slide, for example, a release or waiver signed by the participants (or by their parents or guardians if they are minors) would be quite in order. It may be appropriate to ask the user group (in the written agreement with its representative) to be in charge of obtaining participant (and parent/s of minors) signatures on these forms, and returning those to the camp, sometime before the start of the event.
Insurance Requirements
Customarily the camp will require the user group to have or obtain liability insurance for the event and, in addition, may require that the camp be named an "additional insured" on that policy. Special care must be taken in these additional insured arrangements, because that status may have unintended consequences. The camp must seek the advice of legal counsel, and a trusted insurance professional regarding the protection afforded by the policy and its endorsement. Generally speaking, the camp will want to be a "primary insured" under the policy, without right of subrogation against it. The camp should insist on seeing a copy of the endorsement, properly identifying the coverage which is provided to it. Requiring insurance is an important way to "back up" the user group's indemnity obligation (see below).
Importantly, the camp should communicate with its own liability insurance representative to assure that its activities with user groups are properly understood and covered by the camp's existing policy. A camp's insurance representative is usually an appropriate individual to review the insurance requirements for user groups.
Liability Issues
Having identified the camp's and the user group's respective areas of responsibility, the document should reflect the parties' agreement regarding legal responsibility, in the event of an injury or other loss. By way of example: if the agreement assigns to the user group the responsibility for conduct and supervision of all activities, an injury arising from those activities should be the responsibility of the user group. The agreement should provide that the user group indemnifies (protects and defends, including the payment of any liabilities, costs and attorneys' fees, etc.) the camp (and its owners, staff, etc.) from any claim against the camp because of such injury. The camp, correspondingly, may accept legal responsibility for claims arising from aspects of the event assigned to it — for example, during times when the camp has agreed to supervise a backpacking trip, or supervise use of the camp climbing wall. Or, the parties might consider it fair to hold the camp responsible for hidden hazards or defects in the facility or premises — a broken porch railing, for example. The camp may agree either to limit the user group's indemnity responsibility or actually agree to indemnify the user group for claims arising out of the camp's area of responsibilities. This concept of "indemnity" is common throughout the United States and is a means by which parties may allocate legal responsibility between themselves. Work with your legal counsel to assist you in crafting these provisions, consistent with applicable state law. You may negotiate these provisions differently for different types of user groups (for example, the indemnity agreement for a facilities rental, where there is little or no camp involvement, will probably be different from the indemnity agreement in an arrangement where the camp provides the user group access to a variety of activities and facilities and provides some direct supervision).
Other Provisions
Other important provisions might include:
- How or under what circumstances the agreement might be terminated, voluntarily or otherwise;
- A "severability clause," describing that a provision found unenforceable shall not invalidate the agreement;
- A provision describing that this is the entire agreement between the parties;
- A provision specifying the law to be applied to the agreement;
- A provision calling for mediation and determining costs to be born by the parties, in the event of a dispute over the agreement; and
- A provision describing that each party should have workers' compensation insurance for their respective employees, as required by law.
Parties' Signatures and Date
A place for the parties' signatures and date, potentially prefaced with a statement that the parties have "read and understand the agreement," as well as the parties' acknowledgment that the agreement is binding upon them.
A camp should approach the variety of arrangements it may enter into with user groups in the same pragmatic and thoughtful way that it organizes and manages its mainstream camp programs. Take time to think through the issues with your lawyer and insurance representative, and develop a written agreement that clearly and accurately reflects arrangements that your organization makes with different user groups. Doing so will not only clarify the understanding between the camp and user group, but hopefully, minimize the risk of incidents, and decrease potential legal exposure.
This article contains general information only and is not intended to provide specific legal advice. Camps and related organizations should consult with a licensed attorney regarding application of relevant state and federal law as well as considerations regarding their specific business or operation.
|1 'User Group' is the term used in the ACA-Accreditation Standards for Camp Programs and Services, 1998 ('ACA Standards'), to collectively define these outside parties (see, e.g., p. 13 and 192).
|2 The ACA Standards note the value of these user contracts and a variety of key provisions to include in these types of documents. See, e.g., p. 13, p. 192, p. 222 (relevant standards noted for 'lease/rental' arrangement), p. 227.
|3 Id., p. 222 & 227. Legal counsel should also consider application of the ACA Standards as they apply to the camp's specific arrangements (for accredited camps, or those seeking accreditation).

|5 See ACA Standards, HW 21 – 23, pp. 68-70.
|6 See ACA Standards, OM21, p. 84.
|7 'Release' or 'waiver' is a general term used to signify an agreement, signed by a participant, or the parent of a minor participant, before the event. The document can include a description of activities, an acknowledgement and assumption of risks, a release and indemnity provision, and other important content, oftentimes dictated by specific state law. Camps should work with their legal counsel to craft these documents, consistent with their own operation, and any applicable state law.
|8 These forms can provide the camp with another layer of liability protection (in addition to the user group's indemnity agreement/insurance) in appropriate cases, as well as serve as a productive way to relay important information to user-group participants.

Parents want what's best for their children
One proven way of helping our children make healthy and responsible decisions is by having positive communication with them. It's not always easy to talk about important topics like puberty, reproduction, and relationships. Growing Up Comes First gives you the facts and tools you need to talk openly with your children.
Children who are 9-12 years old have questions. Be their source for answers. Initiate a conversation with your child to let them know you are there for them.
It's more than physical
Children need trusted adults to help them cope with emotional, social, and mental changes they are experiencing. Children are increasingly self conscious during this time about their looks. Friendships can change in intensity as thoughts and feelings change. Teaching about acceptance and standing up for oneself becomes very important.

Months ago, while driving by the Pines of Sarasota, I noticed a "for sale" sign on an adjacent property -- an eight-acre wasteland, the former site of a cement plant.
The Pines of Sarasota, for those who don't know, is a community-based, not-for-profit organization that provides vital services -- assisted living, skilled nursing home care, secure residences for dementia patients and physical therapy.
These high-quality services are available even though 70 percent of the Pines' residents are on Medicaid -- the federal/state social insurance program for low-income Floridians and those who have expended their savings on costly care. That percentage of Medicaid patients is, Pines officials say, the highest in Southwest Florida.
I have a high regard for the Pines and its longtime commitment to providing patients excellent care, regardless of their ability to pay, while offering employees good salaries and benefits.
The organization, located on North Orange Avenue in Sarasota, is an invaluable -- and undervalued -- asset. Its value is likely to increase as governments reduce Medicaid reimbursement rates to providers, whether for-profit or nonprofit, and the aging of baby boomers increases demand for services.
So, when I saw the for-sale sign posted at the dusty-white plant site immediately south of the Pines, this question came to mind: Would it be a good idea for the organization to try to purchase the land for future expansion?
Later that day, I called John Overton, chief executive of the Pines and a fixture in the community. As administrative leader of the Pines and a former vice president of the Florida Health Care Association, which represents assisted-living facilities and nursing homes across the state, Overton has written compelling guest columns for the Herald-Tribune and been a forthright source of information about elderly care.
"John," I said over the phone. "Is it crazy to think that the Pines should buy the cement plant property that's up for sale?"
"No, it's not crazy," he said.
Anyone who knows Overton knows that, while he is a bright man, he is also incredibly polite.
"Are you sure it's not crazy?" I asked again.
No, Overton said, again.
The Pines was already looking to buy the property, he added; in fact, it had been on the organization's radar for several years.
That response was gratifying because:
� It was a welcome affirmation that my brief observation and spur-of-the-moment idea had merit in the view of someone whose knowledge I respect. (Not all of my queries get a positive reply.)
� If the purchase were made, it would provide the Pines with not only a chance to expand but an opportunity to innovate.
Fast forward:
On Jan. 1, Michael Braga of the Herald-Tribune reported that a subsidiary of the Pines had purchased the eight-acre site for $1.9 million -- a hefty sum, but a bargain compared to the asking price just a few years ago.
On Friday, Barbara Peters-Smith from the Herald-Tribune newsroom and I talked with Overton and George Manser, chairman of the Pines board of directors, about the acquisition and the potential for the site.
The Pines, they emphasized, is in no rush to develop the land. The administration and the board of directors want to obtain community input and support for any endeavor; an engagement campaign will be forthcoming. Good.
Yet some possibilities seem apparent. For instance, there would be room on the site for creation of a campus-style community that offers an even-broader enable seniors to more easily make the transition to assisted living.
Such facilities exist but are generally costly, out of the reach of moderate- and low-income seniors and their families. Affordable, economically sustainable options will be vital -- especially if holes in the social safety net grow and, as Overton predicts, elder care becomes less attractive to for-profit companies
There will be no shortage of individual and community needs for the Pines to meet.
But this purchase offers an opportunity for the organization and the community to consider and support new ideas.
For example, could expanded facilities become a site for academic research, which creates jobs and attracts grants, for the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee or Florida State University?
Could the Pines supplement its training partnerships with State College of Florida and other schools? Could it be a place where businesses, attracted by the Sarasota-based Institute for the Ages, test products and provide state-of-the-art advice on elderly-friendly designs and living conditions?
Yes, Overton said, these examples of collaboration could and should be under consideration.
What's more, could this project serve as an economic-development initiative? Could it be a model for cooperation in fund-raising, involving the Pines' foundation and other philanthropic groups? How could the public sector contribute through funding, to meet pressing social needs, or in-kind services and political support? Could it be a national model for community collaboration?
I don't know the answers, but am confident the questions are worth asking.

It's a good thing cats have nine lives.
A 10-month-old cat survived almost two hours in a washing machine, getting tossed and chucked around for a full spin cycle, South African newspaper The Star reported.
Tabitha's owner Karin Bennett, 63, searched everywhere after the crossbred cat vanished earlier this week at her home in Johannesburg, South Africa.
U.S. & World
Bennett, a widowed mother of two, told The Star that she had put a load of laundry in the washing machine and left her house to go run errands. When she came home, her black-coated kitty was nowhere to be found, despite audible meows.
Bennett checked on her laundry after hearing strange noises coming from the washer, which she said had a habit of acting up. She spotted her drenched feline trapped inside the machine.
"It could happen to anybody," Bennett said. "She must have been sleeping in there."
"I went berserk and screamed so loud that a neighbor came 'round," she added, according to the U.K. Daily Mail.
Bennett and her neighbor forced open the door to find that Tabitha had survived the one hour and 45 minute trauma — though she was worse for the wear.
Tabitha was immediately rushed to a local vet and treated for shock, water on the lungs and hypothermia, according to The Star.
"The vet told me she had lost seven of her nine lives," said Bennett.

OTTAWA — The backers of the Northern Gateway pipeline are vowing to plow ahead despite a blunt rejection by citizens of Kitimat, the community that stands to gain the most from the $7.9 billion megaproject.
The unofficial results of a Saturday plebiscite showed 1,793 voted against the project, or 58.4 per cent, compared to 1,278 who endorsed it, or 41.6 per cent, according to the District of Kitimat.
The results of the non-binding plebiscite will be considered today by the Kitimat municipal council, which has the option of declaring that it shares the community's opposition to the project, according to Mayor Joanne Monaghan.
The company — taking advantage of the absence of spending limits for B.C. municipal plebiscites — raised the stakes by waging an aggressive campaign.
Northern Gateway posted pro-pipeline signs around the community, waged a media advertising campaign, and had a dozen employees in the community — most flown in from Calgary — making presentations and going door to door.
The campaign stressed the expected creation of 180 permanent jobs in the community, where tankers would load and ship hundreds of thousands of barrels of diluted bitumen a day to Asia-Pacific markets.
A spokesman for the Northern Gateway Limited Partnership, the legal pipeline financing entity that includes Calgary-based Enbridge, responded to the results by saying proponents have to make a stronger case to the community.
The vote "shows that while there is support for Northern Gateway in Kitimat, we have more work to do," said Donny van Dyk, Northern Gateway's Kitimat-based manager of coastal Aboriginal and community relations.
"And over the coming weeks and months we will continue to reach out and listen to our neighbours and friends so that Northern Gateway can build a lasting legacy for the people of our community."
New Democratic Party MP Nathan Cullen, who represents the region in Ottawa and was in Kitimat for the vote, said the company suffered a huge setback.
"You will not find a more pro-development town in B.C.," said the MP for Skeena-Bulkley Valley.
Cullen said the company response — that the community just needs more outreach efforts — suggests that the anti-pipeline voters are "ignorant" of the project's overall benefits.
"This is deeply offensive to people, like they're saying, 'We've heard you and we're going to ignore you.'"
The Harper government, which regularly speaks out about the need for pipelines to get Alberta's diluted bitumen to Asia-Pacific markets, is to decide by mid-June whether to give the project the go-ahead.
A spokeswoman for Greg Rickford, who recently replaced new Finance Minister Joe Oliver as Canada's natural resources minister, wouldn't comment directly on the results.
"We have been clear that projects will only proceed if they are safe for Canadians and safe for the environment," said Alexandra Lemieux.
Critics, including the local Douglas Channel Watch that led the grassroots opposition in the plebiscite, said the company and Ottawa need to get the message.
"This result demonstrates that the citizens of British Columbia cannot be bought, that we will not trade the long-term health of our salmon rivers or our pristine north coast for a handful of jobs, and that we are determined to keep the north coast of B.C. bitumen-free," said spokesman Murray Minchin.
University of B.C. political scientist George Hoberg said the vote is "just another indicator" of provincewide opposition.
"Kitimat is the one community in B.C. that would receive direct long-term benefits in terms of jobs at the terminal, and even the residents there oppose the pipeline," he said in an email.
The plebiscite question had come under scrutiny, with some critics suggesting it was too wordy and confusing because it was tied to a federal panel's massive December report that endorsed Northern Gateway — subject to 209 conditions.
The question: "Do you support the final report recommendations of the Joint Review Panel (JRP) of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and National Energy Board, that the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project be approved, subject to 209 conditions set out in Volume 2 of the JRP's final report?"
Cullen described it as comparable to the similarly wordy and confusing 1995 Quebec referendum question, which was widely seen as an attempt by separatist Premier Jacques Parizeau to win a "Yes" vote from fence-sitters who didn't necessarily want an independent country.
Two experts on public opinion questions, veteran pollster Allan Gregg and Carleton University professor Scott Bennett, told The Vancouver Sun last week that the wording was flawed.

It's no secret that social media provides an excellent opportunity for a brand to engage with its customers, potential customers, media and the business community. Whatever stage your organisation's social media activities are at, be it a basic listening tool or an intensive digital strategy, an external agency can assist you to ensure you are capitalising on the new breed of opportunities afforded through social media.
Here are some of the ways an agency can help businesses looking to expand presence through social media:
1. Education, Advice & Strategy
There are many sites beyond the popular Twitter and Facebook such as blogs or community sites which might offer your particular brand an equally beneficial reach of audience. To be effective online doesn't mean you need to have a presence across all sites either, what's key is choosing the right medium and doing it well.
An agency can assist you by providing some insight on the lesser known networks and identify the optimum sites to reach your target audience, alternative technologies and tools available; pitfalls to look out for and ensure your brand's social media strategy is aligned to existing PR and marketing strategies.
2. Listening to Online Conversations
It is highly likely that conversations are already happening about your product or service online – do you know what your customers are saying? Whether those conversations shed your brand in a positive or negative light – it's raw, direct feedback that you wouldn't even glean from a controlled focus group – the insight is right there waiting for you.
There are many different tools, software and technologies available for tracking what is being said about a brand online around, each varying capabilities, cost, presentation – it's a case of finding the listening tool which meets your needs. PR agencies can quickly evaluate and understand your brand's listening needs, and can draw upon their established partnerships and provide quotes quickly.
Don't forget, once you have your listening platform established, whether you allocate this internally or externally, you need to commit to monitoring this on a daily basis.
3. Time & Resources, Proactive & Reactive Engagement
Similar to ensuring you have the time to monitor your listening tool or platform, you need to have time to invest in building those all important online relationships – regardless of the social media sites you pursue. It's all very well to set up a Facebook page for your brand and spend your budget buying advertising and incentives to recruit fans to your site, but it's what you do with those fans next that determines whether you see any outcome for your efforts, or if you are dropped in the next round of your customer's Facebook spring cleaning.
Reactive: An agency could support you by monitoring your listening platform, watching the conversations your customers or potential customers are having about your brand, following what the topics and trends are, and making an educated decision on when and how to respond.
Proactive: An agency would also offer advice on how best to utilise your social media sites, for example using your Twitter account for giveaways and promotions, or spreading the word about your brand and online presence by offering incentives and prizes.
4. Online Crisis Communications
The online world presents a powerful and yet dangerous platform. The real time environment means crisis and mistakes are relayed to the thousands in literally seconds. PR agencies have long been providing crisis communication support and helping organisations divert media disasters, and are well prepared for handling negative issues that occur in an online space.
5. Posting Content
The discipline of PR is about two way communication, so a natural fit for assisting with posting content online is a PR agency. Agencies understand engagement as the basis for social networking and the practice of word smithing and creating engaging content is something they do on a daily basis.
Other ways you can rely on the support of an agency is with assistance on how best to work the online space, while ensuring you keep your integrity. An agency can provide you with advice on wording, the tone to adopt, and guidance on whether or not to engage with certain people.
6. Monitoring Success
As with any media activity, measuring and evaluating the effectiveness of your campaign and hard work is important for reporting back to the business, helping to determine your ongoing strategy. Here is where an agency can provide methods for evaluation, breaking metrics down into quantifiable goals, e.g. mentions in blogs, links back to the website.
7. Part of a PR campaign
Social media can be a powerful tool when used in a PR or marketing campaign for generating buzz and should complement traditional PR methods. When implementing PR campaigns for clients agencies always look beyond the traditional media targets to see what specialised networks are relevant, who are the bloggers worth pitching to, and how they can use social media to connect with key influencers, journalists and consumers.
How a PR agency Can Help You with Social Media
PR agencies can help design a social media approach to engage your contacts, share opinions and elicit interest in your brand using tools like Twitter, Facebook, AdWords, blogs, community sites and listening platforms. This would include developing an exciting list of ideas on how to boost customer/potential customer online involvement with you and your brand, devise a calendar of updates and information to regularly upload onto your Facebook and Twitter sites, recommend blogging and advertising opportunities and capitalise on related online forums.
Armed with an understanding of your customer and business goals, a PR agency can direct you toward the social media strategy that is perfect for you.

First Impressions
You've probably walked away from a golf outing or social event with a bad taste in your mouth. We all have. It might not have had anything to do with how many double bogeys you carded or how disappointed you were that the girl you asked to dance turned out to be married with five kids. Of course, the opposite is also quite plausible. As you strode from your car to the pro shop, you may have been quite impressed with the beauty and functionality of the plant material and hardscape elements, a feeling that carried over to the birthday party itself. In fact, you might not know why you felt the way you did. Until now. Let's look at a possible influence that often goes unconsidered: clubhouse landscaping.
Let's face it. A first impression is a powerful force. The impression that is made on customers — both first timers as well as current members — is one that can influence sales and performance on the course. When a bride-to-be or avid golfer is considering all of his or her choices, real money and image is on the line. Signing members and booking social outings can be positively or negatively affected by the way the place looks and feels.
In addition to just looking good and creating a positive first impression, the clubhouse landscape must function properly. A clubhouse is used by many groups of people; each of them should have input into the way it works and looks.
Start by identifying the groups that interface with your facility. Typical groups of clubhouse users would include the club manager, the golf pro, the pool staff, the tennis instructors, the greens committee and the owner. Don't overlook auxiliary groups or spouse philanthropic leagues. They can be very helpful when it comes to identifying goals and objectives you may not have thought of.
Consider if it would be better to interview them individually or as a group. You may find that it is best to do both. Ask for individual opinions, develop some thoughts and then call a meeting to discuss them. Set the tone for the meeting by announcing that each person's opinion is important. This will affirm and encourage each group member.
As ideas are tossed around, it's likely that golfers and club members will mention that they've been impressed with a certain club that they encountered in another city. When that occurs, try to encourage the participants to be as specific as they can. Was it the color that was impressive? What was the screening comprised of — plants, posts or something else? How accessible was the bag drop area to the rest rooms or pro shop?
After you've talked for a while, you'll get a pretty good sense of the theme that most of the participants are looking for. Some may feel that a very formal design is important for traditional or sentimental reasons. If so, this will probably translate into strong rectilinear lines and shapes arranged in a bi-laterally symmetrical design. Closely clipped hedges, upright evergreens, columns and rose gardens are indicative of a formal landscape.
Others may feel that a "softer" look is called for, especially if the clubhouse structure itself has strong architectural lines and features. In this case, you can plant multi-stemmed trees and shrubs adjacent to them to make the clubhouse more inviting and appealing. Informal landscapes tend to be asymmetrical, usually dominated by sweeping curves instead of straight lines.
As you complete your work, summarize the goals into a set of program statements. These will serve as a guiding force as the project unfolds over the next few years. They become very important as people join or leave the group(s) to maintain the original intentions and objectives for the landscape.
One of the first principles to keep in mind as you begin to sketch — or hire someone to sketch — is scale. Keep it in mind as the drawings are prepared. In general, strive to select plant material that will grow to reach two-thirds of the height of the clubhouse eaves or roof-line. Short "foundation-sized" plants often appear as if they were an after-thought, while really tall ones can compete with or dwarf the clubhouse itself. Of course, this is only a general principle. It is usually a good idea to provide shade for the clubhouse on the south or west side by placing a tree there that will eventually tower over the structure.
The hallmark of a good landscape design is a thorough site analysis. Whether you perform it yourself or hire a designer to help you, this step is a "must do." Obtain a map of the clubhouse, either architect's blueprints or a survey or plat. Lay a sheet of tracing paper over the top and darken-in the outline of the building. Make notes of overhangs, footprints and utilities as well. Awareness of these features will be important when it comes time to install plant material.
Many factors are important to the failure or success of a landscape planting including soil drainage, sun/shade from nearby trees or buildings, wind patterns, slope of the land, radiated sunlight off the clubhouse siding and radiated heat from sidewalks and driveways. Any factor that influences the plant material should be noted. Draw from your experiences elsewhere on the course to provide guidance.
In the eventual landscape design, each and every limitation that is documented in the site analysis must be mitigated. You can achieve this several ways. For example, if an area drains poorly, you can remove the soil, install drain tiles and replace it with a growing medium that has increased percolation capacity. Another solution may be to simply remove the plants that are struggling and replace them with "bog" or "wetland" types. Still another solution might be to install a sculpture, bridge, water feature or non-plant material item.
Before you get carried away with picking out petunias and crape myrtles, use an intermediary step to transition from the site analysis to the actual plant selection. Once again, lay a sheet of tracing paper over the original architectural drawings and tape it down. Better yet, lay it over the site analysis. This will provide you all the necessary information to begin the design.
Start the bubble diagram by drawing shapes that you are comfortable with. Circles, ovals, squares, rectangles or anything in-between are fine. As you draw, keep in mind that each bubble (shape) will become a grouping of plants or a large single plant such as a tree or large shrub. A typical clubhouse design will contain anywhere between 12 and 25 bubbles.
Above all, fight the urge to identify specific plants. Instead, identify the shapes generically, such as "large broad-leaf tree," "shady groundcover mass" or "water feature." After all of the bubbles are drawn, you can pick out plants with advice from garden centers, university extension faculty and fellow superintendents. Localized information about how a particular plant has performed is invaluable.
In horticultural circles, the catch phrase of the decade is "right plant, right place." While it might seem trite at first glance, it is a very effective phrase in that it causes us to focus on the specific needs of a plant and its suitability for a particular design.
Endeavor to match up the conditions noted in the site analysis with the growing requirements of plant materials that are adapted well to your area. In addition to the sun/shade, drainage and color of the plant, consider the eventual size. One of the most pitiful sights in landscaping is when size has been ignored. The result? A small perennial lost in an ocean of mulch, or the opposite — overgrown shrubs that need constant shearing to keep them from taking over the walkways and steps.
All this talk about ornamental plants, and none about turf. Heresy! In fact, a well-sited hunk of sod fits right in with the right plant, right place principle. Turf can be used to solve problems as well as for aesthetic purposes, yet it can be a problem itself if not placed in a suitable location. All of the rules for growing turfgrasses apply: proper sunlight, airflow, good drainage — as well as a large enough space to encourage vigorous growth. This requirement seems to be closely associated with clubhouses and parking lots, in that turf is often planted in narrow or odd shaped strips adjacent to sidewalks, driveways and parking dividers. Avoid pieces of sod that are less than 4 to 5 feet in width. These narrow or oddly shaped spaces are difficult to irrigate and fertilize effectively, and suffer from various environmental stressors including radiated heat, salt spray and foot traffic.
Sizeable chunks of sod are calming and welcoming; they also serve to highlight nearby plants that have interesting colors and/or textures. Well-cared-for turf provides a neutral material that focuses attention on the ornamental plants. This principle is called mass/void, where the annual/perennial flowers, groundcovers, bulbs, shrubs and trees are the mass, and the turf is the void.
The last step in good clubhouse design is to evaluate. Evaluation should occur on several levels. The logical first attempt is an in-house consideration of how easy it's been to care for the plants. Positive and negative comments from golfers and other clubhouse users should be documented as well.
After a season of growth, convene the original group(s) that provided input for goal setting and the establishment of an overall theme. These folks will also have received feedback from their clients and associates that will be valuable in the future success of the landscape.
Don't be too upset if most people didn't like the babbling brook or the gracefully arching ornamental grasses that you enjoyed so much. Likewise, don't be surprised if plants that were supposed to grow well in full sun struggled because the site didn't receive full sun after all. These occurrences are common, and can be rectified based on the information you've learned by gathering input.

Happy New Year! I've got a few New Year's Eve wishes for classical music fans in San Antonio.
I wish:
- everyone who enjoys live music brings a friend to a concert this year. Word-of-mouth is the best marketing tool, and if you'll introduce a new friend to the joys of live concerts, you'll help keep the arts alive in our community.
- no school system considers cutting music instruction. With huge cuts likely coming from Austin this legislative session, the decisions will be extraordinarily difficult. But, cutting arts in our schools will increase the drop-out rate and help create a generation of adults who aren't creative and not ready for the complex decisions that modern life demands.
- every music fan tries a style of music outside their comfort zone. If you are an opera fan, attend a symphony…a symphony fan, try chamber music…love baroque music, attend a new music concert. If Radiohead is your favorite, you might enjoy a little Beethoven or Golijov now and then. There are wonderful new friendships out there just waiting for the opportunity.
- you consider making a donation to an organization you love. No matter how many tickets you buy, all arts organizations' largest portion of revenue comes from fund-raising. Thank you for considering making a personally significant donation.
- Finally, I wish you get to enjoy these four blockbuster concerts coming up in the next six months:
- Wednesday, January 12: Lang Lang & Lang-Lessing. Chinese piano superstar Lang Lang performs Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2 with the San Antonio Symphony and the Symphony's new Music Director. Beethoven Symphony No. 4 is on the first half. You can also add the post-concert dinner with Lang Lang. The concert is in the Majestic Theatre.
- Saturday, March 19: Itzhak Perlman. Itzhak Perlman is the reigning violin virtuoso of our time. Antonio Strad Violin is the presenter of this violin recital. Perlman is one of the few artists that needs absolutely no introduction or explanation. The concert is in the Lila Cockrell Theater.
- Thursday, March 31: An Evening on the Silk Road. Arts San Antonio presents cello superstar Yo-Yo Ma and his Silk Road Project Ensemble. There is also a post-concert gala dinner with the artists. The concert is in the Majestic Theatre.
- Wednesday, June 1: Plácido Domingo—Con amor a San Antonio. Presented by San Antonio Opera, Domingo will perform a romantic concert of opera, zarzuela, tango and Mariachi favorites accompanied by guest artists and a full symphony orchestra. The concert is in the AT&T Center.

THE M PERFORMANCE DESIGN OF THE BMW X6 M50d.
The M genes and uncompromising dynamics in the BMW X6 M50d are apparent from the very first glance. A range of distinct and exclusive details cause the M Performance Automobile to stands out optically within its Series. These include the specific air inlets in the broad front apron from the M Sport package supplies as standard. They give the 381-hp athlete an even more imposing presence. With further refinements to the driving dynamics together with higher emotional appeal and a unique exclusive character, the BMW X6 M50d sets standards in the Sports Activity Coupé segment on both the exterior and interior.
EXCLUSIVE FEATURES OF THE BMW X6 M50d.
Design features in accent colour.
20'' M Double-spoke 468 M.
Exterior mirror caps in accent colour.
M logo in Dark Chrome.
Trapezoid exhaust pipe finishers.
Model designation in Dark Chrome.
Door sill finishers with model designation.
The M Performance TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder diesel engine in the BMW X6 M50d inspires with its combination of pronounced dynamics and astonishing efficiency. Among the features making this possible is the three-stage turbocharging with variable turbine geometry. The highly developed engine responds with extreme spontaneity. Even at low revs, a high torque is available and the range of usable engine speeds is especially broad. Expressed in statistics, this means: 280 kW (381 hp), 740 Nm of torque at 2,000 to 3,000/min, from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h. At the same time, the combined fuel consumption is 6.6 litres per 100 km and average CO2 emissions are 173 g/km. Thanks to Blue Performance technology, the production version of the BMW X6 M50d complies with the EU6 emissions standard.
THE M PERFORMANCE DRIVING DYNAMICS OF THE BMW X6 M50d.
The driving dynamics concept of the BMW X6 M50d is designed with performance in mind. Increased driving pleasure combined with unique comfort and inspiring versatility is the objective. The high level of agility and precision in the handling and the balanced tuning of all components can be felt whenever the vehicle comes out of a bend. With their extensive modifications, the engineers of BMW M GmbH have optimised the suspension and steering characteristics of this exclusive Sports Activity Coupé down to the finest detail.
More sport: the Adaptive M suspension
The Adaptive M suspension ensures that the typical agility of the BMW X6 achieves an even more sports-oriented quality in the BMW X6 M50d. Features in the equipment package include Dynamic Damping Control and air suspension for the rear axle, with a setup tuned for a particularly sporty driving response. One of the benefits for you is precise control of the handling characteristics.
More agility: the Suspension Package Dynamic
Equipped with the Adaptive Suspension Package Dynamic, the BMW X6 M50d achieves a maximum level of agility, precision and lateral dynamics. Model-specific Dynamic Performance Control and Dynamic Drive guarantee even more neutral steering and reduce body side tilt on bends.
More traction: BMW xDrive
The BMW X6 M50d has the intelligent all-wheel drive system BMW xDrive with Performance Control as standard, thus achieving a unique level of dynamics, agility and traction. Whatever the road surface, the Sports Activity Coupé follows every change in direction precisely with noticeably fewer steering corrections. To achieve the driving dynamics typical of M Performance vehicles, the system has also been designed with the emphasis on the rear wheels.
Transferring the power in the BMW X6 M50d is an 8-speed Steptronic Sport transmission supplied as a standard feature. The specific M Performance tuning of the shift programmes is specially adapted to the particular performance potential of the engine. Shift paddles on the steering wheel allow gear changing in sporty style. The transmission also features a Launch Control, ensuring optimum acceleration under all conditions. The compact build, low weight and perfect interplay with the Auto Start Stop Function are also instrumental in significantly lowering fuel consumption and reducing exhaust emissions.
Intensified driving pleasure.
Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
The figures for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption depend on the wheel and tyre sizes selected. Consumtion data is determined in accordance to the ECE driving cycle.
The driving range depends on a variety of factors, especially: personal driving behaviour, selected route, weather conditions, usage of heating/cooling and preconditioning.
Further information about the official fuel consumption and the official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger automobiles can be found in the 'New Passenger Vehicle Fuel Consumption and CO2 Emission Guidelines', which are available free of charge at all sales outlets and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern, Germany.

Meet & Eat: Eliza Fournier, Green Youth Farm in Chicago
Getting to know the folks behind the food and drinks you love.
"It seems that more and more students are deciding that this is cool—that being on a farm is a really cool way to spend your summer."
During my summers off, I went to various camps until I realized that "internship" looked better on a college application. I really, really wish I had been able to go to the Chicago Botanical Garden's Green Youth Farm program instead!
This novel program takes more than 60 high school students and teaches them the skills of operating and growing crops on a small farm. They learn team-building skills, participate in community service projects, and get to eat lots of tasty, tasty fresh produce. I spoke with Eliza Fournier, Manager of Community Gardening, to get a better sense of why and how this organization makes such a big impact on its community.
Where did the inspiration for the Green Youth Program come from?
We really based a lot of our programs off of The Food Project in Boston. What we found was that a lot of the focus for funding was moving towards work readiness and job skills training, so we kind of coupled the ideas of the Food Project with where the funding was coming from. We shifted our focus to building urban farms, and began to put a lot of resources into that aspect of the program.
How has the program expanded and changed since it initially started?
In our first year, we had 13 teenagers and one staff person. Now we have four sites, over 65 youth, ages 13 to 18, and 17 staff people ranging from seasonal to full-time positions. We now have more structure to our day, week, month, and program year. We have also expanded to include an adult program, the Windy City Harvest Program, which addresses the demand for more green jobs training. And we've really learned a lot from our staff and students, and from visiting other programs.
Which particular aspects of the program do you think the students find most rewarding?
I think that we think that they respond to the social and youth development aspect. But they will always tell us that their favorite part is working in the garden and learning how to handle the plants. They also love the field trips, and we are really aware of trying to make these field trips relevant and meaningful.
What kinds of services do students provide in the community service aspect of the program?
Mostly we're providing food and educational opportunities for the community. We work in real partnership with the WIC program, so we do nutrition education, cooking demonstrations for the parents, and provide food at really reduced costs. Also, there are tours of our farms and we bring in groups throughout the summer so we can show them what we do.
How do you hope students will utilize the garden knowledge they acquire?
Since we're a youth development program, we don't measure success by how many of our students become farmers. We measure our success by how much more awareness of sustainable food systems our students are gaining. Do they know what grows on a plant? Can they articulate the work that they did over the summer? They learn how to show up on time, be prepared, show respect for their supervisors—the soft skills. Do they have an awareness of the food they're putting into their body, do they know how to read a nutrition label? These are the kinds of tools we provide them with.
Any final words for our readers?
We're just really happy that we've been able to sustain our program. This will be our eighth growing season, and we're really proud of that. And, we've had much higher numbers of applications from students across the city. It seems that more and more students are deciding that this is cool—that being on a farm is a really cool way to spend your summer.
I agree! To learn more about the Green Youth Farm program, visit their website or check out the Chicago Botanic Gardens for more info.

value added(redirected from Added cost)
Also found in: Dictionary.
Value Added
Value added is the risk adjusted return generated by an investment strategy: the return of the investment strategy minus the return of the benchmark.
Value Added
The increase to the value of a product at each stage in a production cycle or supply chain. For example, a timber company cuts down trees, which adds value to the wood because it can then be used. It may then sell the timber to a miller, who adds value by refining the timber into planks of wood. A carpenter who buys the planks adds value by making them into a table, which can then be sold to a customer. The concept of value added is most important in countries and other jurisdictions that have a value-added tax.
value addedthe difference between the value of a firm's (or industry's) output (i.e. the total revenues received from selling that output) and the cost of the input materials, components or services bought in to produce that output. Value added focuses attention on the value that a company adds to its bought-in materials and services through its own production and marketing efforts within the company.
A firm will measure its value added as the difference between its SALES REVENUE and the COST of its bought-in materials and services. Where a firm operates at only one level of production or distribution in a VALUE-ADDED CHAIN, it will generally add less value than a vertically integrated firm which embraces several production and distribution stages. See VALUE CREATED MODEL, CONSUMER SURPLUS, VERTICAL INTEGRATION, VALUE-ADDED TAX, VALUE-ADDED STATEMENT, VALUE ADDED PER EMPLOYEE, PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT, ECONOMIC VALUE ADDED.

Should Cory Monteith, an actor who became a household name due to his role on "Glee" and tragic, untimely death, be given a special, elevated tribute as part of the In Memoriam segment at the Emmys?
That's the question raised by Variety editor-in-chief Andrew Wallenstein in an opinion piece for the Hollywood trade publication.
Wallenstein writes that the "Glee" star getting a special tribute at the Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday was to be expected given the industry and its fans are still reeling from his recent loss. What Wallentsein questions is whether that decision by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences to include Monteith with actors who have had a far more storied career is "the right thing."
U.S. & World
"When Monteith's name is elevated alongside the other four people who are being elevated from the usual In Memoriam reel — actors James Gandolfini, Jean Stapleton and Jonathan Winters and writer-producer Gary David Goldberg — his inclusion risks coming across ill-considered," writes Wallentstein. "The unspoken, uncomfortable truth of the matter is that while the work he did on "Glee" showed great promise, it was not equal to the incredible careers the other four amassed."
Monteith died on July 13 of a heroin and alcohol overdose. At the time his Hollywood star was burning brightly thanks to his role on "Glee" as sweet-natured quarterback Finn. He left behind millions of fans but a relatively short resume.
An actor who is singled out in this fashion for celebration at the Emmys, Wallentstein argues, "should have a body of work that puts him head and shoulders above his peers."
"What Gandolfini did on 'The Sopranos' inarguably transformed the medium of television; can we really say the same about Monteith on 'Glee'?" he asks.
Stapleton is best remembered as the long-suffering Edith Bunker from "All In The Family," but had a six-decade career spanning Broadway and Hollywood. As did Winters, whose work on "Mork and Mindy" was balanced by his output as a comedian, author and artist. Goldberg, while not a household name, was behind such landmark television series as "M*A*S*H," "The Bob Newhart Show, "Lou Grant" and "Family Ties.
Gandolfini's eulogy will be delivered by his "Sopranos" co-star Edie Falco during Sunday night's broadcast. Stapleton's by director Rob Reiner. Winters' by comedian and "Mork and Mindy" co-star Robin Williams. And Goldberg's by former "Family Ties" alum Michael J. Fox. Monteith's is to be delivered by his Glee co-star Jane Lynch.
Wallenstein acknowledges how tragic Monteith's passing was and writes that questioning his exclusion should "not be misinterpreted as a judgment being made about the circumstances of his death." But by putting Monteith in this elite group, "the Academy is risking having its honorable intentions misconstrued as using the actor's memory to cater to the younger audiences that are in decreasingly short supply for award shows these days."
Perception matters, according to Wallentstein. Especially when other actors who have had far more impact on the history of television - Larry Hagman and Andy Griffith to name two - are being relegated to the standard In Memoriam tribute.
Such a snub is not sitting well with Hagman's fans. "Larry should definitely be included for his decades of work...plus almost 400 hours of television for a single character, arguably the most iconic antagonist in television history," wrote member PMM349 on Soapchat.net. "What a slap in the face to Larry," added Wizard62, who listed the press contacts for the Academy and urged Hagman fans to tell them of their displeasure.
"Monteith could have gone on to a tremendous career, but Larry Hagman, for instance, already had a tremendous career, and putting Monteith on a pedestal casts a shadow over the memory of this iconic "Dallas" star," argues Wallenstein.
Those who left comments on Wallenstein's article were divided on the matter. "You're making this about something it's not.... For a lot of young kids, who haven't experienced a loss of a celebrity they adored, Cory's death was a first. It was a big deal to them, his impact was real ... so yes, he is deserving of the honor," wrote Jess.
"If you give Monteith one, you better give one to Lee Thompson Young too…he had a much more prodigious career," said Mark of the "Rizzoli and Isles" castmember who committed suicide last month.
It's not the first time the Academy's decisions regarding the In Memoriam segment have come under fire. Back in 2010 pop star Michael Jackson was featured heavily in the package. Absent that year were iconic actresses Bea Arthur and Farrah Fawcett.
The Emmys, Wallenstein says, should set the gold standard. "The event should be first and foremost about recognizing a body of work. In that respect, the Emmys needs to aspire to timelessness, demonstrating its relevancy whether being watched on the night of the telecast or 20 years later."

Does this mean that BBM won't need an active BIS subscription(For OS 7.1)? I switched over to WP a while ago and seeing as how there will be no BBM for WP8, I was hoping I could use my old Bold 9780 for BBM over wi-fi and hotspot without a sim,
Is this possible? Also, will it be the same for OS 6.0 devices?

There was a time when I had just fallen in love with your mother, everything I said, or did, even when she wasnt around, made me think of her. That happens even today, but I also end up thinking about you a lot.Tiny Feet...
When your bua & I were growing up, I got annoyed at your baba because of his biased love for his daughter. Nothing annoys me as much as unfair treatment. I thought, I will be more fair. When you were born a girl, I was sure I will maintain certain fairness. I will be a firm dad. Firm and fair. But now that you are only 16 months old, I already find myself giving way.
Back in the day I wrote about love, life, engineering, you know, things that I frequently thought about. Now, since my life revolves around you, I end up writing only for you. I wanted to do a Kuch Kuch hota hai and write you one letter for every birthday, but that didnt work very well for Rani Mukherjee, also, it would be super cheesy. So I decided I will write to you whenever you are not around, like today.
Of all the women I have swept off their feet, you have been by far the most difficult, also, I am not really sure if you have been swept off your feet yet. You are easy to love. You are a good girl. I dont say that because you are my daughter. If there were 20 kids playing in a park and I had to choose one, I would choose you.
There is a saying in Marathi "Balache pay palnyat distat" (Baby's feet are visible in the cradle) which implies that you can make out how a person is going to turn out even when they are really little. You manifest what's good in both your amma and daddy. You are considerate and giving like your amma. Your resilience & never say die attitude is clearly a Chaudhary trait. Yes, that's a thing. You also have what I like to call - the Chaudhary charm. All Chaudharys have it in varying degrees. You clearly are in the top quarter.
The day you called me Dadda, makes my top 3 most happy days list, right up there with the day your amma said that she wanted to spend her life with me & the day she told me I was going to be a dad. I always wondered what is the big deal about getting called Daddy was. I have thought about this and this is what I have come up with - We spend all our lives wanting to belong. We want to be a part of something. That is why we like rock bands and football clubs and feel a kinship to others who like the same groups as us.We want to be loved and desired. We want to know what other people say about us & if they like us. Having your baby love you back, just fulfils that need of belonging like nothing else. You feel complete. You belong to some one and someone belongs to you. That has to be satisfying.
The thing I love the most about myself is also what I love about you the most. The other day you wanted to play with my cellphone. I placed it on the sofa away from you. You quietly walked up to it to get a hold of it, just as you were within touching distance, I picked it up and placed it away from you on the floor. You quietly started walking towards the phone. Once you were near, I picked it up and placed it on the sofa again. I did this again and again. And it made me proud when I got tired and you didnt. Finally I had to hand the phone to you. I love your resilience.
Achieving Happiness is like meeting you sales targets - there is nothing special you can do to meet your sales targets, you just ensure that you do the basics right and hope for the best. Same with happiness.
I hope you dont have to worry about the silly stuff in life and you keep doing the basics right. Your tiny feet give me enough idea on what you are going to be like... And I cant wait to get to know you better.

Cool things with wheels since 2006
Yes I read that little Editors piece. I wish they had explained that when the first horseless carriages were built that they were built to look similar to horse drawn carriages, otherwise it was looked down upon by people. Many terms from horse drawn carriages were used in automotive terms like Phaeton, Victorian phaeton, even coupe.
