LONDON (Reuters) - Archery superpower South Korea delivered a stinging reminder of its strength on Friday with two world records on the opening day of the London Olympics.
Im Dong-hyun, who lost the world number one ranking to American Brady Ellison in 2011, shot 699 to break his own 72 arrow world record in the men's ranking round, and combined with Oh Jin-hyek and Kim Bub-min to set a new team record of 2,087.
Kim's score of 698 would also have broken the previous world record of 696, while Oh brought up the rear on 690. Archers can score a maximum of 10 points per arrow by striking the gold circle at the centre of the target.
The United States, currently the world's number one team and pre-Olympic favourites for gold in London, finished the day ranked fourth behind France and China.
Im, who has strong myopia and has to aim at a 'blob' of colour on the target 70 metres away, was pleased to finish top of the ranking round but was characteristically cool on how the competition would play out.
"It's only the first round so I won't get too excited about it," he said.
Korea head coach Jang Young-sool was pleased with the scoring on a damp day at Lord's cricket ground, and said that while it was no problem to shoot in the drizzling rain it was a challenge to keep track of the changing conditions.
"You can't really expect to break the world record but it's not a big shock or surprise," he told Reuters. "It was good scoring conditions today, we'll just rest and then get ready for the team competition tomorrow."
South Korea's men have won the team titles at the last three Games but never the individual Olympic gold medal.
Kim Soo-nyung, who won the individual women's gold in 1988 and three Olympic team golds, said the conditions were ideal for high scores.
"They might have expected to shoot well because it's a little bit cloudy and a little bit rainy, this weather is so nice to shoot in," she told Reuters. "Most world records are set in this kind of weather.
"Im, and the whole Korean team, have a lot more confidence now. You could see it today, they look a lot more confident and they believe they can do it."
While it was not the start the United States had been hoping for, Arizona bowman Ellison said they were happy enough with how they shot, even if the scores could have been better.
Ellison shot 676 while team mate Jacob Wukie scored 673 and Jake Kaminski 670.
"Korea are always top of the ranking round, they're a great team, so we kind of expected them to be on top," Ellison said. "But we're shooting good and having fun and that's what we came here to do."

Business tax breaks of $310B in House
The U.S. House Ways and Means Committee approved $310 billion of tax breaks, as Republicans defeated Democratic objections to the plan's budgetary costs.
The tax breaks, many of which benefit companies such as Intel Corp. and General Electric Co., have bipartisan support. How and whether to offset their cost remains an area of dispute, which prompted some Democrats to vote against bills they co-sponsored earlier this month.
The Republicans' proposal would make the tax benefits permanent, ending the lapse-and-revive cycle that has persisted for years. The six breaks approved today and dozens of others expired Dec. 31. The move separates some of the breaks from Republicans' broader goal of revamping the U.S. tax code.
"We have to start somewhere," said Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, a Michigan Republican. "We're starting with bills that have had bipartisan sponsors."
Democrats argued that the Republican plan is fiscally irresponsible because it doesn't include offsetting spending cuts or tax increases, and unfair as Republicans maintain that the cost of extending unemployment benefits should be covered.
They also complained about the uncertain fate of other tax breaks, such as those for hiring workers from disadvantaged groups and installing wind turbines.
"To say that Republican action today is hypocritical is a serious understatement," said Rep. Sander Levin of Michigan, the top Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee.
Democrats didn't offer specific proposals for offsetting the costs. In the past, they have supported higher taxes for oil companies and private equity managers to pay for extensions. The provisions repeatedly have been extended without those revenue-raising items attached, most recently in January 2013.
The panel voted 22-12 today to endorse the permanent extension of the research credit, which has existed since 1981 and never has been made permanent.
One Democrat, Rep. Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, voted with the Republicans. Two others — Linda Sanchez of California and John Larson of Connecticut — voted no, even though they co-sponsored the bill.
Beyond the research credit, the committee approved a proposal to make permanent the active financing exception. That rule, supported by GE and banks such as Citigroup Inc., lets companies defer U.S. taxation on income they earn from finance businesses outside the country.
Other breaks endorsed today include a rule that lets small businesses write off some capital expenses and another that allows multinational companies to move money easily between subsidiaries overseas.
Other than the research credit, the bills were passed on party-line votes.
The Senate Finance Committee, controlled by Democrats, voted earlier this month to extend almost all the expired breaks through 2015. That bill contained no offsetting spending cuts or tax increases.

Aoshj needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 298 designs submitted by 69 freelance designers.
Talkky is a social web service that's a platform for having intelligent discussion with other people. Emphasis on a quality, intellectually sophisticated experience.
Clean and simple, yet powerful design. It should fall in line with twitter/facebook logos - unique typeface and font, simple, quiet, powerful.
If you create a picture/logo of some kind, it should be something INCREDIBLY simple and not very rich ala twitter's bird logo. We aren't super intent on having a logo but won't rule out if someone gets it right.
We don't want something that's overly designed or very aesthetically rich. Again, some of the best web service logos are simple and powerful (Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Microsoft, etc).
Demographic is web 2.0-y type users but still want to convey seriousness in the brand and not that it's not some unprofessional project... but we still want to make it fun looking. :)
It would be helpful if I could see the logo in a couple of different colors/background combinations. i.e. When you're logged in, Twitter has the white with a slight gradient on black with the blue bird logo in your profile page. When you're not logged in, Twitter has a slightly dropshadowed flat logo with a white/gray gradient. Above all, it should be subtly styled.
It would be nice if you created a simple logo/icon. This would be something that could be embedded in a site or act as a favicon.
A unique font is the most crucial element of this logo!! All great web services have immediately identifiable, unique fonts. This will make or break every design submitted!

UN Report On Human Rights Condemns Three Strikes As Civil Rights Violation
from the nice-to-see dept
While blocking and filtering measures deny access to certain content on the Internet, States have also taken measures to cut off access to the Internet entirely. The Special Rapporteur is deeply concerned by discussions regarding a centralized "on/off" control over Internet traffic. In addition, he is alarmed by proposals to disconnect users from Internet access if they violate intellectual property rights. This also includes legislation based on the concept of "graduated response", which imposes a series of penalties on copyright infringers that could lead to suspension of Internet service, such as the so-called "three strikes- law" in France and the Digital Economy Act 2010 of the United Kingdom.Of course, supporters of such laws will downplay the significance of this, but they might not realize just how much influence these types of reports can have over time. Either way, it's nice to see UN officials recognizing that yes, copyright can and often is used for censorship.
The report goes on to worry about ACTA as well:
Beyond the national level, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) has been proposed as a multilateral agreement to establish international standards on intellectual property rights enforcement. While the provisions to disconnect individuals from Internet access for violating the treaty have been removed from the final text of December 2010, the Special Rapporteur remains watchful about the treaty's eventual implications for intermediary liability and the right to freedom of expression.We keep hearing from supporters that there are no "free speech" concerns here, and yet the UN clearly sees the issues. Seems like ACTA supporters have a serious case of willful blindness.
On top of that, the UN report points to all sorts of other serious concerns that we've raised, including how "notice-and-takedown" provisions such as those found in the DMCA are open to widespread abuse.
In the recommendations section, the UN report is pretty clear and damning. Kicking people off the internet is a violation of existing civil rights:
The Special Rapporteur considers cutting off users from Internet access, regardless of the justification provided, including on the grounds of violating intellectual property rights law, to be disproportionate and thus a violation of article 19, paragraph 3, of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.Now watch as our usual "law & order" commenters rush to talk about how the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights can be ignored as it's no big deal.
Finally, the report actually (amazingly) goes so far as to suggest countries "repeal or amend" any law that would kick people off the internet for infringing:
The Special Rapporteur calls upon all States to ensure that Internet access is maintained at all times, including during times of political unrest. In particular, the Special Rapporteur urges States to repeal or amend existing intellectual copyright laws which permit users to be disconnected from Internet access, and to refrain from adopting such laws.While I doubt the report will have too much impact, it certainly is nice to see it getting some significant attention. It's too bad, but you can bet that politicians around the globe will simply ignore it... and when asked about it, will instead just point to debunked industry claims of "losses" to back up their ongoing push towards censorship and civil rights violations in the name of protecting the obsolete business models of a few industries.

Jennifer Lopez Biography
Jennifer Lopez was a dancer (or "fly girl") on TV's comedy sketch show In Living Color before landing the title role in a 1997 biopic of the singer Selena.
Appearances in the films Blood and Wine (with Jack Nicholson, 1997) and Out of Sight (with George Clooney, 1998) made her a bona fide movie star and the highest-paid Latin actress in Hollywood.
In 2000 she appeared in a famously skimpy peacock-colored dress at the music industry's Grammy Awards, and began a much-discussed romance with rapper P. Diddy (aka Sean "Puffy" Combs).
Lopez also launched a music career, and her albums include On the Six (1999), J.Lo (2001), Brave (2007) and Como Ama una Mujer (2007).
Her engagement to actor Ben Affleck in 2002 resulted in the of-the-moment combined moniker "Bennifer." The pair never married, and ended their relationship in January 2004.
A few months later, on 5 June 2004, Lopez married singer Marc Anthony; after seven years of marriage, they announced a split in July of 2011.
Her movies include Anaconda (1997, with Ice Cube); the animated feature Antz (1998, with the voice of Woody Allen); The Wedding Planner (2001, with Matthew McConaughey); Angel Eyes (2001, co-starring Jim Caviezel); Maid in Manhattan (2002); Gigli (2003, co-starring Affleck); Shall We Dance (2004); Monster-in-Law (2005, with Jane Fonda); and the oops-I'm-having-a-baby flick The Back-up Plan (2010).
She joined the panel of American Idol as a judge in 2010, with a reported deal of $12 million.
Extra credit
Lopez and Anthony had twins, a boy named Max and a girl named Emme, on 22 February 2008… Lopez's popular nickname is "J.Lo"… Her marriage to Anthony is her third: she was previously married to waiter Ojani Noa (1997-98) and dancer Cris Judd (2001-02)… Some sources give her birth year as 1970, but a 2001 criminal trial for Sean Combs included a police report giving her birth year as 1969.

Feb. 20, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Mark Alexander drained a pull-up three from the left wing with 21 seconds left in regulation to complete a late rally by Clark (11-12, 6-5), which moved in front of MIT (12-13, 3-9) en route to a thrilling, 58-56 NEWMAC victory in Rockwell Cage on Wednesday night. The Engineers shouldered their seventh consecutive loss after surrendering a six-point lead in the final 2:30 of the game.
Playing on senior night in his final regular season game at home, Alex Bagley scored a lay-up to put MIT ahead, 49-47, with 6:17 left in the game. The basket sparked a 6-0 run for the Engineers that junior Jimmy Bartolotta capped with a lay-up. Ahead 53-47 with 3:44 on the clock, the Cougars converted off an MIT turnover with a long three by D.J. Brinn. On the ensuing possession, the Engineers once again lost possession, and with 1:30 left to play, Pat Landers knocked down the game-tying shot from deep in the left corner.
Bartolotta scored on a driving lay-up to the left with 51 seconds remaining to push MIT in front and set the stage for Clark's last offensive possession. Alexander took a pass on the left wing early in the shot clock and maintained control for the entire exchange. As the clock dipped below 10, Alexander pulled up from several feet behind the arc and moved the Cougars in front to the shock of the home crowd.
The Cardinal and Gray had one last chance to tie the game, but another turnover proved costly and Clark capitalized at the free-throw line to seal the win. The loss marked the most consecutive losses for an MIT team to end a regular season since 1934-35.
Bartolotta led all scorers with 26 points. During the night, Bartolotta passed two MIT legends on the Institute's all-time scoring charts, passing Dave Jansson '68 and Harold Brown '72 for fifth with 1,467 points. He added eight rebounds and a pair of steals and blocks.
Clark was led by Pat Landers, who finished with 17 points on 5-of-10 shooting. At least six players chipped in five points while Peter Normandin paced the effort on the glass with seven boards.
The pace was quick in the first half, although a combination of missed shots by Clark and MIT turnovers kept the score low. The teams traded baskets throughout most of the frame with Clark getting even production from its bench and MIT relying on the play of Bartolotta and Mroz. There were 14 lead changes and four ties in the first 20 minutes while the Cougars scored 19 of their 30 points off turnovers. The Engineers earned their chances behind a 20-13 edge in rebounding. A jumper from the key by Bartolotta put MIT ahead, 31-30, just before the buzzer.
The second half yielded a similar conclusion, as Clark closed the night by scoring 27 points off 28 MIT turnovers. The Cougars' defensive pressure helped off-set a commanding, 43-24, rebounding edge for the Engineers.
Before the game, MIT celebrated its senior night in recognition of those players participating in their final home game. Alex Bagley, Alan Ho, Barnett Koryan and Will Mroz are set to graduate this spring.

It was a night off for the fingernails at "June"?Shaffer Memorial?Park stadium last night.
Emotionally, the Chillicothe Mudcats had about as angst-free a 2-1 victory as you could have as they clipped the visiting Kansas City Monarchs for a second time in five nights.
It was a night off for the fingernails at "June"?Shaffer Memorial?Park stadium last night.
Emotionally, the Chillicothe Mudcats had about as angst-free a 2-1 victory as you could have as they clipped the visiting Kansas City Monarchs for a second time in five nights.
A triple by Matt Thomas, who returned from two weeks in dry dock with an opening-night finger injury, and a throwing error on a grounder on the next fourth-inning play provided the deciding run for the college-level, wood-bat baseball Mudcats as they defeated the non-league opponent again.
With the Monarchs being a relatively-light-hitting club, the 2-0 lead Thomas' run generated seemed pretty comfortable. Even after a Mudcats miscue put the Kansas Citians on the scoreboard in the seventh, the sense was that they were not going to score again.
"If that's a MINK (League) team, we probably lose tonight," Chillicothe head coach?Eric Peterson commented on his own perception that the Monarchs don't pose a big risk of scoring a lot. In 18 innings against the Mudcats now, they have one run – none earned.
"We didn't play as well as we could have. We didn't pitch as well as we could have," the coach of the Fish continued.
"…We'll take an ugly win any night. A 'W' is a 'W.'"
With the victory, the Mudcats continue to tread water as they await the arrival of addition players and pitchers, standing .500 overall for the season at
8-8. They are 6-8 in-league.
Having finished a week-long, 7-game homestand with four wins and three losses, including two non-league victories over the Monarchs, the Mudcats resume league play tonight with a 7 p.m. game at Clarinda, Iowa.
Tonight's scheduled starting pitcher for Chillicothe at Clarinda is lefthander Sam Wood (0-1).
Clarinda's A's dropped out of the league's North Division lead last night when they fell to visiting Nevada, 11-8.
By virtue of a 6-0 home win over Omaha Diamond Spirit last night, the St. Joseph Mustangs – last year's league champs – took possession of first place in the North for the first time this year with a 6-5 league record. Clarinda is a half-game out, Omaha one game back, and the Mustangs 11⁄2 out.
Following tonight's action in Iowa, the Mudcats will travel the other direction at midday Friday to begin back-to-back 3-game road series in southwest Missouri at Nevada, starting Saturday night. After playing there through Monday, Chillicothe will be at Joplin next Tuesday through Thursday before returning home next Friday to host Clarinda.
Thomas' run in the third inning didn't seem to loom large at the time as it gave the Mudcats a 2-0 lead near the mid-point of a game in which they seemed like to generate additional scoring. However, when the misfired on two excellent future chances – a bases-full, 1-out situation in the fifth and a second-and-third, no-outs opportunity in the seventh, it turned out that unearned fourth-inning tally was the game-winner.
"At least we're getting in those situations," Peterson said of the missed scoring chances, a recurring obstacle to sustained success thus far this season. "We could be not getting in those."
The Mudcats ended up leaving nine runners on last night, but Peterson believes an upturn in productivity is not far away.

|Round Two: The Loudon Road Race Series Continues
|LRRS, Legends and Bando Champs to be Crowned
|LRRS Set for Final Weekend
|Greenwood Edges Son in MW Grand Prix
|Greenwood Pulls Away in "Dash for Cash"
|Stay & Play at Speedway for Motorcycle Week
Narbonne Starts LRRS with Win, Beaulieu Edges Buffington in NELCAR
Shane Narbonne led the Loudon Road Race Series back to NHMS for the 2012 season with a win in the "Dash for the Cash" Middleweight Grand Prix. Narbonne sat first in the standings for the class midway through 2011 before commitments to professional racing in the American Motorcyclist Association took precedence.
Eventual 2011 champion Eric Wood led the first half of the eight-lap race before he was overtaken by Narbonne and forced to settle for second. Scott Greenwood, another regular in Victory Lane, finished third.
In Amsoil NELCAR Legends Tour, 2011 series champion Evan Beaulieu edged the 2011 NHMS track champion Shaun Buffington in a back-and-forth race. The win was Beaulieu's first at "The Magic Mile," in large part due to Buffington's dominance at the track. With the exception of two races last season in which Buffington was spun out, he'd never been beaten on the track.
The 12-lap Moat Mountain road course race featured one of the most exciting finishes in NELCAR's brief history at the track as both Beaulieu and Buffington came out of the final turn with a chance to take the checkered. Not too far behind the top-two finishers as Buffington's teammate Tom Gray, who started on the pole and finished third.

"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."
– John F. Kennedy
Well, we have avoided the fiscal cliff – for now. But the reckoning will have to come.
Maybe I'm wrong – I'm neither a financial expert nor a political analyst – but sooner or later, we will have to address the root issues of this turmoil. I don't see how we can avoid it. We keep treating the symptoms while the illness runs unchecked.
American essayist E.B. White (the "Charlotte's Web" author, in addition to writing children's books, was a prolific and brilliant essayist) once wrote something that said, in effect, politicians are not really in the business of molding the world into a better, brighter, more harmonious ideal; they are in the business of getting us through the day. His topic was nuclear arms, but the sentiment rings true when talking about finance, too. Our elected officials on both sides of the aisle, so full of vision and promise three months ago, now just want to keep our heads above water.
Politicians are also in the business of getting re-elected. From the standpoint of a casual observer, it seems many of them are more concerned with not rocking the boat than with taking the grand and risky actions that could get us out of this mess.
I admit, I don't envy our leaders their task. Some massive, complicated programs need to be overhauled top to bottom to make them more efficient. Hard decisions need to be made, and hard decisions always make people uncomfortable.
Government needs to live within its means and make spending cuts – a difficult and terrifying task that has been postponed for too long.
When we talk about spending cuts, this is not something we the citizenry will sit back and watch happen. It will affect us. It will affect some of us greatly. And some cuts will probably hurt, both people already hurting and those who have thus far been relatively unscathed.
Several analysts I read after the fiscal cliff deal was struck commented on how politicians managed to do it without asking the majority of American people for sacrifices. I think our leaders need to show they are making sacrifices in their own benefits, as a show of good faith if nothing else, before coming to the people.
But cutting their own line items alone won't do the job. It seems national sentiment is taking a turn toward "something must be done." At the end of the day, what if that "something" is up to you and me?
A friend who remembers World War II likes to talk about the way the country came together then, with victory gardens and metal drives and rationing books, and how people were willing to make themselves less comfortable for the greater good.
If asked, would people come together like that again? Or has our trust in our leaders been so damaged it's every man for himself?
A new Congress was sworn in last week. Here's hoping they get their hands dirty, work together and, if needed, ask the people's help to pull us back from the brink.
Editor's Note: 'Every man for himself' or 'the greater good?'
"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."

The Beauty of Barolo
As the leaves begin to change color in northerly climates the world over, thoughts immediately turn to deeper wines and heartier fare. For me, this inevitably means the return to my dining table of Barolo. Barolo, one of Italy's and the world's greatest red wines, is perfectly suited to the crisper air and clear horizons of autumn and winter, for its very scents and flavors call to mind these quieter seasons. This is not to say that I do not drink more than my share of Barolo during the warmer months, for there are few better matches with a steak on the grill than a properly aged Barolo. But, great Barolo is so often defined by its aromatic and flavor profiles that call to mind autumn, as the pure red or black cherry fruit of Barolo is inevitably interwoven in a tapestry of fallen leaves, woodsmoke, chestnuts, anise and often notes of tar that call to mind the open road.
Barolo not so many years ago was considered an anachronism of wine – too old-fashioned and slow to unfold to be relevant in our modern age of multi-tasking. It is traditionally one of the longest-lived and toughest customers in its youth in the world of red wine, and its reputation for many, many years was that it was a wine that simply required too much cellaring before it was ready to drink with pleasure to merit more than cursory attention by the mainstream of wine lovers. In fact, its reputation outside of its native sweeping hillsides of Alba, tucked just below the Alps, had fallen so low in the 1970s that a "new wave" of Barolo producers emerged striving to tame the traditional tannins of Barolo and produce wines that were more approachable in their youth. The mavericks that led the "reformist" charge were producers such as Elio Altare, Paolo Scavino, and Luciano Sandrone. The emergence of these "modernists" was met with skepticism on the part of the more traditional producers in the region, such as Bartolo Mascarello, Giovanni Conterno, and Bruno Giacosa, and for a few decades the beautiful landscape of Barolo was divided into two rather antagonistic camps.
To understand a bit of the fundamental winemaking philosophies in conflict at this time in Barolo, one needs to know just a bit about how Barolo is traditionally produced. Barolo is made from the Nebbiolo grape, which is renowned for its thick skins which provide a significant backbone of tannin in the young wines. However, in many other respects, the grape is quite similar to Pinot Noir, with its uncanny ability to pick up the complexities of its underlying soils and its relatively high acid profile quite similar to the grape of Burgundy. This combination of firm tannins and high acids is what gives Barolo its remarkable longevity, and also what makes the wine rather chewy in its youth.
Taming the tannins and acidity of young Barolo became the great divide between the two schools of Barolo production. Traditionally, long barrel aging in very large, old oak barrels (known in Piemonte as "botti") prior to bottling was the prescription for taming the young wines, but this method still produced a Barolo in need of another decade or more of bottle age after it was released. The modernists adopted methods more familiar in France and California to speed up the evolutionary cycle of Barolo, aging the wines in small, new oak barrels to round them off sooner, and employing a number of cellar techniques to soften the initial tannins in the young wines. Critically, the new school Barolo producers met with great success, and many were embraced as the superstars of the region during the 1980s.
However, the ensuing couple of decades have met with some surprising results for the two schools of Barolo. The modernist wines turned out not to age with anywhere near the same grace as the traditionalists' wines, and many of their cellar techniques championed early have been scaled back. In contrast, the traditionalists have been embraced for the quality of their wines, which are now considered the gold standard in the region and are justly cherished for their brilliance and unique characters. Perhaps the modernists prodded the traditionalists into even greater precision in their winemaking, but more likely it is Mother Nature who has stepped in over the last two decades and tamed Barolo's traditional toughness a bit with warmer and more consistent vintages since the late 1980s. Whatever the cause, Barolo made in the traditional manner has never been better than it is today, with wineries such as Giuseppe Mascarello, Giacomo Conterno, Bruno Giacosa, Bartolo Mascarello, Francesco Rinaldi, Cavallotto, and Giuseppe Rinaldi making some of the greatest wines in their histories in the last decade.
Traditional Barolo still warrants a bit of long-term cellaring to reach its zenith, but with the recent riper vintages comes the possibility of drinking many of these wines while young. One of the keys to drinking a great Barolo on the younger side is simply to give it some extended decanting time prior to serving. For most vintages under ten years of age, I decant my Barolo for at least an hour before pouring, allowing the wine's edges to soften dramatically and the wine to truly blossom. Even much older vintages have no problem with this much aeration. And while decanting, I am careful not to let the sediment pass through into the decanter. Barolo sediment can be quite bitter, and like grounds in your coffee, they can spoil much of the beauty that awaits you in the glass. So decant your Barolo before you start cooking dinner, and watch the magic unfold when it is served.

Meet Pixar's First Princess In New Extended 'Brave' Clip
This summer's animated adventure 'Brave' is notable for a few reasons: One, it's Pixar's first foray into the world of fairy tales (something their partners at Disney are quite good at) and, two, it's Pixar's first female-driven film. While the plot seems reminiscent of 'How to Train Your Dragon' – a young Scot fights the odds to battle a fierce beast while becoming a valiant hero – it's the little things we see in this new extended clip that set 'Brave' apart from the rest.
Hair has always been a thorn in the side of animators who've struggled to accurately capture its fluid movements. But watch the flowing, curly locks of Merida, and you'll see that the Pixar team is breaking new ground as usual. Or pay attention to the way her arrow undulates as its shot and the masterful editing as it pierces another arrow on the bullseye. It may be a story we've heard before, as many fairy tales are, but with Pixar, it's all about the little details. This is what makes them, and their films, so darned good.
This new clip below is just two minutes from the film and only hints at the adventure to come (you can see more in the official trailer here). 'Brave' hits theaters on June 22nd.

Volvo S60 Prices Paid and Buying Experience
taylorj Posts: 1Was quoted $35,998.90 for a '12 S60 premium package black on black. That is the out the door price(tt&l are part of that price) It includes the conquest cash and $900 rebate for the summer.
It didn't really take much negotiating so I am wondering, do you think I can do any better?0
Awful deal. If you're talking T5 anyway. Are you leasing, loan, cash? If lease, what are miles? I'll post about my deal which I'm ok with in a second on a new post.0
I got a 2012 T5 black on black with premium, climate, communicator, and chrome pipes for $32,775. Leased with $2,000 down (taxes and fees up front) at $350 / mth, 36mths. 10,000 miles a year. This includes conquest and the summer lease special. I think I did ok--what do you guys think? Really enjoying the car but still in honeymoon phase. Big road trip coming so we'll see if the seats are as good as everyone says.0
ursus Posts: 126Sale price should have been at least $1K less: ~ $33,500 invoice - $1K conquest - ~$700 two months free = $320/month. Does your $2K down include acquisition fee or it was rolled into the lease? Also, it would be nice to know what kind of black you got - there is $550 difference in MSRP. It is very possible to get 2012 S60 for $500-$1,000 under invoice since there are plenty of them and 2013's are coming.0
The $2k included acquisition fee--and I got the $550 fancy black metallic. So I did get in under invoice in the price range you suggested, but I sort of agree that I could have done a bit better, as you say $320. Are you enjoying yours?0
outsider121210 Posts: 1Just purchased a demo 2012 S60 T5 FWD for OTD price of $29,500. This is overseas through the military buying program. It is cosmic white with beachwood/beige interior and urban decor inlays. Has premium, technology, and climate package and 1500 miles. First Volvo purchase and I felt like it was a good deal but still somewhat uncertain. What do you think?0
Have considered joining the Volvo Club of America. If you are a card carrying member you can receive the employees family discount, there are details on the website. It might be worth the $45 to join if you know you want a Volvo.0
Took my new 2012 S60 T5 on a 2,000 mile trip on interstates and winding country roads, through wind, rain, and heat. I thought folks were blowing smoke when they said the seats were comfy, but unlike my previous German and Asian cars, my back and bottom never hurt one bit even after eight hours. I will say the touted climate package air filter did not filter out skunk, cow, or exhaust smells--I was hoping it would. This is a nice car that borders comfortable long-distance touring and sporty / spirited driving. I know most BMW fans will think I'm nuts, but I'd rather have the S60 than a 3 (and most definitely over the other overpriced or tired options, talking Merc and Infinity respectively). So, I just picked a fight I think.0
matty100 Posts: 1Are there any established sales/residuals/financing rates/incentives on the 2012 S60s? Has anyone had experience ordering one? I'm considering getting one of those instead of a 2012, but can't seem to find any numbers or info on them.
Thanks for any info you may have.0
bagel5 Posts: 9Hi - I'm looking at a 10,000 mile lease on a 2012 S60 with premium package (leather and moonroof) in New Jersey. There is an advertised special of 3,490 down (excludes tax and title) and $289 per month. Any advice on how much better I can do would be much appreciated!0
kfaulconer Posts: 1Does anyone have any idea what kind of discount you get when you are a member of Volvo Club of America? We have an S40 and XC90, and are thinking about trading in the 40 for a 60. Don't know if the discount is more than you could get through negotiations. Any help is appreciated!
We are in Lexington, KY. Anyone know if there is a local chapter? Thanks.0
I believe it is an employee discount that you receive when you are a Volvo Club member. There is more information on the website, and they will also let you know about local chapters.0
I just picked up my new black s60 a few weeks ago as well, and I am LOVING those seats too! I think this car is the best value in a luxury sport sedan, out of all of them. I tested every car in the mix, from Audi to BMW, to MB, Infiniti, and Lexus, and the overall value in the Volvo made it the winner for me. Motor Trend described the seats as amongst the best out there, in "soft, chunky leather". Also love the smooth leather, juxtaposed against the textured leather with double rows of stitching. It's a class act!0
Completely agree with all of that. It feels like it cost many grand more. I tried those other cars, too, and even on paper it's a far better value.0
Hello everyone,
Here is some info regarding the 2012 Volvo S60 T6 R-Design that I leased yesterday.
2012 Volvo S60 T6 R-Design
-Electric Silver Metallic Paint
-Multimedia Package
-Climate Package
-Blind Spot Info System
-Personal Car Communicator (key)
Invoice: $46,057
CAP cost: $43,900
U.S. Bank Credit after CAP cost: $1800
Special lease offer through US Bank that pays $450 a month as a credit for the first four months so the cost averages out to $600 a month including tax. And, the dealer is tinting the windows and they threw in all weather mats.
The car is so beautiful and fast! I think it was an awesome deal for an almost $50k car. What do you guys think? Good deal?0
Forgot to mention it is a 3 year / 45,000 mile lease.0
mikey38 Posts: 141Didn't see an S60 forum that this fits in so feel free to move it if required:
2012 S60 T5 with 1500 miles driven: First "long" highway trip notes - seats continue to be GREAT, very comfortable during a 500 mile highway trip with only a couple of pit stops along the way. Car handles well in dry and wet conditions. 29.8 mpg (hand calculated - computer showed 31.2) while cruising at 70-75 mph with 4 passengers and bags. MPG seems to drop off a little while cruising at 75+ vs 65-700
....and it's nice to be in a car that is a bit unique; there are not millions of these on the road, like the endless 3 series I see. The S60 gets so many "looks" and compliments from people on the street, it's amazing. MPG so far has been ok, not great, but thrilled to be using regular gas after putting the expensive stuff in my Lexus for the last dozen years. The handling is great, the turbo is fun, and the sporty styling belies its practicality and safety. Loving this new car!0
jeffm5 Posts: 123Hi cars,
I'm taking delivery of an S60 T5 next month. The fact I don't see many here in Western PA was a factor in my decision. Seems like every other car I see is a 3 series or an ES 350 (both great cars). Do you have a T5? What MPH are you getting? Thanks!0
You mean what MPG I'm getting! (MPH is quite high, I must admit.....the turbo asks to be driven fast!!!) I basically do a lot of city driving with a bit of highway mixed in.... so far, after abouy 1500 miles, it's about 23 miles per gallon, on regular (YAY!!). Am taking a good road trip next month and I'm waiting to see how much better it will do on pure highways. THere is an 'information' thing that you can scroll through on the steering wheel, which posts various pieces of info on the dash....one of the items is "how many miles to empty". every time I fill up, it says 500. but that never happens, and this gauge is annoyingly inaccurate enough that I've turned it off.
I was a Lexus devotee for 12 years, and really wanted to buy another one, but found that the w ES was going to be an even more expensive "camry".... and to load it up with all the bells and whistles puts it almost at 50k, which is crazy. The new ES comes out in the fall and I'm sure it will be even more expensive.
The new 3 series is very nice, I drove it a few times, but I live in an area where FWD is good to have, and did not want to pay the premium for AWD and the associated drop in MPG.
The other car that seemed to be a really good value was the Nissan Maxima. but that car is in a funny middle ground, as a premium-ish car, in a non premium brand. I always preferred it's styling to that of the infiniti, which seems very dated at this point.
I'm hoping that the Volvo will prove to be a great value for a sporty, fast, safe and fun car. Hope you enjoy your new S60 too!0
MPG for me on 3500 miles of mostly highway is 29. In the city it's looking like 23. The miles to empty gauge changed much more wildly than my merc's. It's hard to know when to fill up since it's accurate to the hill and curve. Maybe I'm nuts, but I've been putting in premium--it's only a few bucks more per tank.0
joear Posts: 5Hello everyone, I'm in the DC area and started getting prices on an S60 T5 with the following options:
Climate package
Premium package (with off black leather)
Saville Grey Metallic Paint
Sport Sill Moldings
Trunk Spoiler
Wheels (17x8.0 Njord Alloy Wheels)
The best price I have received so far is $32, 689 (incl $1000 loyalty and destination) for a 2012. Any thoughts or referrals for the Baltimore/DC area?
lee168 Posts: 1I am planning to buy a 2012 s60 t5 base model without any options in DC area, could some one suggest me a reasonable target price? it will be great if you can share your purchase experiences.
johnblake Posts: 4Does this price of 32689 include tax? I have been quoted the price of 30600 for 2012 S60 T5 with climate+premium+Metallic paint (no loyalty discount). When including tax etc (6.5% tax), out of door is around 33400. Is this reasonable? I did not ask about 2013 model, any one knows whether 2012 has more discount than 2013?0
zhiweiz Posts: 1can you tell me which dealer give the price to you? thanks,0
shiftlessnut Posts: 1I bought a 2013 S60 from Don Beyer (Dulles, VA location) at the end of October. They offered me a very good price over the phone without a hassle, and it was ~$1500 less than the Edmund's TMV. I bought the T5 Premier, with metallic paint and climate pkg.
I think the end of the month is a great time to buy, especially if the dealer might be a bit short of their quota...0

OAKLAND, Calif.—Police have arrested five California teens—all 16-years-old or younger—in the killing of an off-duty paramedic who was shot while waiting at stop sign.
Oakland Police Chief Howard Jordan says the teens were arrested Monday and Tuesday in the April 2 shooting of Quinn Boyer.
The 34-year-old Boyer was stopped at the sign in the Oakland hills when a car pulled up beside his car and he was shot in the head at what was described as point-blank range.
He died two days later in a hospital.
Jordan says the boys—two-14-year-olds, two 15-year-olds and a 16-year-year-old—are facing murder and other charges, including robbery and carjacking.
Boyer had been a paramedic since 2008, working for Santa Clara County Ambulance for the past two years.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mast Therapeutics, Inc. (NYSE MKT: MSTX) today provided an update on the status of EPIC, its pivotal phase 3 study of MST-188 in sickle cell disease. Consistent with prior guidance, the Company announced that 40 clinical sites were opened in the U.S. by year-end 2013. In addition, clinical sites are expected to open in at least three countries outside the U.S. in the first quarter of 2014, leading to a total of approximately 30 ex-U.S. sites open by the end of 2014. Overall study enrollment is consistent with internal projections and the Company affirmed prior guidance that it expects to complete full enrollment for the trial by the end of 2015.
"We are pleased to see early enrollment for EPIC proceeding in line with our projections," said Brian M. Culley, Chief Executive Officer of Mast Therapeutics. "With enrollment on track and over $44 million on our balance sheet to begin 2014, we continue to see MST-188 as well-positioned to become the first drug to treat an ongoing vaso-occlusive crisis in patients with sickle cell disease. Considering the limited number of comprehensive sickle cell centers with the infrastructure to conduct a clinical study, we believe our ability to rapidly establish EPIC at 40 sites reflects strong interest in the study among physicians who treat these patients."
Based in part on physician enthusiasm for the study and the identification of otherwise eligible adult patient candidates, Mast has decided to amend the study's entry criteria to expand the genotype and age range. In parallel, the Company will add a limited number of adult centers to the 40 pediatric-focused sites that already are open to generate additional safety and efficacy data on MST-188 in the adult population. This decision was made following a determination by disease experts and the EPIC steering committee that expansion will not compromise the ability to enroll a sufficiently homogenous patient population and conduct a successful study. Given that most of the study investigators will be pediatric hematologists, the Company expects the majority of enrolled subjects will be children and young adults.
About Mast Therapeutics
Mast Therapeutics, Inc. is a publicly traded biopharmaceutical company headquartered in San Diego, California. The Company is leveraging the MAST (Molecular Adhesion and Sealant Technology) platform, derived from over two decades of clinical, nonclinical and manufacturing experience with purified and non-purified poloxamers, to develop MST-188, its lead product candidate, for serious or life-threatening diseases with significant unmet needs. MST-188 is a cytoprotective, hemorheologic, anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic agent that has potential utility in diseases or conditions characterized by microcirculatory insufficiency (endothelial dysfunction and/or impaired blood flow).
The Company is enrolling subjects in EPIC, a pivotal phase 3 study of MST-188 in sickle cell disease. In early 2014, the Company plans to initiate a phase 2, clinical proof of concept study in acute limb ischemia that will evaluate whether MST-188 improves the effectiveness of existing thrombolytic agents. The Company also is evaluating development options in heart failure. More information can be found on the Company's web site at www.masttherapeutics.com. (Twitter: @MastThera)

National Parks: America's Best Idea "The Last Refuge (1890-1915)" With widespread industrialization many Americans worry whether any pristine land will be left; poachers are rampant in the parks; and Congress neglects establishing authority or appropriations for the parks. This sparks a conservation movement by such organizations as the Sierra Club, the Audubon Society, and the Boone and Crockett Club, led by Theodore Roosevelt. The movement and John Muir himself fail to stop San Francisco from building the Hetch Hetchy dam at Yosemite, breaking Muir's heart. Part 2 of 6G

10.02.12: The No. 14 ranked (NSCAA DI poll) CCRI women's soccer hosted the Rams of Springfield Technical Community College from Springfield, MA on Tuesday at the CCRI soccer complex in Lincoln, RI. The Lady Knights blanked the Rams 9-0. With the victory CCRI improves to 6-3-1 on the season and 3-1 in Region XXI play.
The Lady Knights took care of business and it didn't take them to get on the scoreboard as freshman midfielder/defender Betti Worth (Manchester, England) connected with a driving shot on a pass from sophomore Tri-Captain Brittany LeClair (Westerly, RI)in the 7th minute of play. Seven minutes later sophomore midfielder Jessica Sandin (Warwick, RI) scored on another assist from LeClair. CCRI totally dominated the first half of play leading 7-0 at the half. Other goal scorers in the first half were Jessica Sandin with two more goals giving her a hat trick on the day. Also scoring in the first half were sophomore Tri-Captain Cait McGarry (Warwick, RI), Tri-Captain midfielder Jess McCaughey (Warwick, RI), and freshman defender Taylor Lopes (Cumberland, RI).
As the second half of play began things weren't much different as the Lady Knights continuously passed the ball around the Rams and constantly kept the ball in their defensive third of the field. Fifteen minutes in the half Jess McCaughey scored and 15 minutes later Betti Worth scored again giving the Lady Knights a 9-0 lead. CCRI continued to dominate the undermanned Rams throughout the rest of the contest. Leading scorers on the day were Jess Sandin who netted three goals, Betti Worth and Jess McCaughey each chipped in with two goals apiece, and sophomore captain Brittany LeClair had four assists on the day. Freshman goalkeeper Alex Place (East Greenwich, RI) recorded her 4th shutout victory on the season as she only had to make one save in the game.

When Friday's nonfarm payroll report handily beat expectations, the dollar got a major lift on the payroll report - contrary to its longtime pattern of trading as a safe haven from bad news.
Has the dollar won the so-called currency war?
"Certainly we've won the global currency battle for now," says Brian Kelly of Shelter Harbor Capital. The stronger dollar, he says, "is actually a good thing because money's flowing into the U.S." As for the dollar's pattern of moving in the opposite direction from stocks, "that old correlation seems to have broken, and it's a good thing."
"The U.S. economy right now is the best of a bad bunch," says Amelia Bourdeau, director of foreign exchange at Westpac Institutional Bank. The dollar has been rallying of late because of a flight to quality in the wake of the Italian election and downbeat euro zone economic reports, she told CNBC's Amanda Drury. "However, today it was certainly about the jobs report."
(View more: CNBC: Italy Elections a Setback for Confidence in Europe)
Andrew Busch, publisher of andrewbusch.com, goes a step further, arguing that Friday's report pointed to a "dichotomy out there between the United States and Europe."
So how should you trade the dollar-euro pair now?

SALT LAKE CITY, May 9 (UPI) -- Lightning struck 11 times at Salt Lake City International Airport on Wednesday leading to the cancellations of several flights.
Eleven inbound planes were struck and maintenance teams are working to determine the exact extent of the damage. One United Airlines flight was hit and the rest of the planes were all arriving Delta flights.
"I think its reassuring to know that the airlines do look at the aircraft after a mention is made that there could have been a lightning strike and that they can withstand it," Salt Lake International Airport spokeswoman Barbara Gann told ABC 4.
Even though the strikes likely occurred while the planes were occupied, Gann said it was unlikely that passengers noticed. All of the strikes happened within two hours of each other.
"It is scary to hear that lightning strikes happen, but what I take away from it, what I think is important to know is that it happens it is not uncommon, although it is unusual to have this many in one day, but everything's fine," said Gann.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Devin Lewis scored four goals, including a pair of penalty shots, to key the MIT men's water polo team to a 10-9 win over Iona College in the seventh place game at the 2008 Eastern Championship hosted by the United States Naval Academy. The Engineers end their season at 10-16 overall.
The win marks MIT's first over a team in the Eastern Championship field this year and avenged a 12-11 loss by the Engineers to the Gaels in the Northern Division third place game. The seventh place finish is the highest at the Eastern Championship for Tech since a sixth place showing in 2003.
Iona gained the early advantage in the game as Joe Przekota scored at 6:42 of the first period. MIT stormed back with an exclusion goal by Brian Gardiner at 6:22 and a natural score by Mike Smith-Bronstein at 5:43 to put the Engineers in front 2-1.
However, the Gaels closed the period with a successful penalty shot by Przekota at the 52 seconds mark to even the score at 2-2.
MIT pulled away to a mini-lead to open the second period on back-to-back tallies by Lewis and Mark Artz at 6:26 and 4:15, respectively, to go ahead 4-2. The teams traded goals from there to a 6-5 MIT lead at halftime.
Przekota pulled Iona to within one at 4-3 with a penalty shot score at 3:52, Alex Mattfolk regained the goal for MIT with a natural marker at 3:32 and Nick Velasquez tipped in shot at 3:06 to set the score at 5-4 in favor of the Engineers.
MIT regained a two goal margin with 45 seconds left in the half as Artz scored on an advantage chance, but Seth Tasman buried a penalty shot with 28 ticks on the clock to divide the lead to one at 6-5.
Lewis racked up his second goal of the day 1:24 into the third period and Matt Perkins chipped in an even strength goal with 2:25 left to engineer an 8-5 margin. The deficit lasted for 2:09 as Trevor Creighton found the back of the cage for the Gaels at 2:09 to shave the lead down to 8-6. The Engineers closed the period with a successful penalty shot by Lewis with 1:53 on the clock as MIT carried a 9-6 lead into the fourth period.
The Gaels eradicated their deficit in 5:06 thanks to the play of Przekota who ripped home a penalty shot at 6:00 and registered an even-strength marker at 5:15 to put Iona within striking distance at 9-8. Iona erased the lead completely at the 3:54 mark of the period with an exclusion score by Creighton to knot the game at 9-9.
Playing without Smith-Bronstein, who received a red card following Creighton's score, the Engineers turned to Lewis who delivered the game-winner off another penalty shot with 3:35 to play for the 10-9 final.
Overall, six of the 19 goals in the game came off penalty shots, including three of the eight in the second half and two in the final eight minutes of play.
In cage, Columbus Leonard made nine saves to earn the win, while Eric Konzem blocked away a shot in the first and one in the fourth period.
