No deal reached yet in SF Bay Area transit talks
San Francisco Bay area transit officials warned commuters late Wednesday to make alternate transit plans on the July Fourth holiday as rail workers are expected to continue their strike.
The Bay Area Rapid Transit agency said there was no indication that its two largest labor unions would return to work Thursday.
Negotiators and both sides were still working late into the evening Wednesday, but no deal has been announced.
Key issues involve salaries, pensions, health care and safety.
The strike is in its third day. Heavy morning rush-hour traffic lightened considerably by midday as the holiday approached.
Josie Mooney, a chief negotiator with Service Employees International Union Local 1021, said she was hopeful the latest round of talks could end the three-day strike that has slowed commutes across the San Francisco Bay Area.
Mooney appeared optimistic after an overnight bargaining session that lasted nearly nine hours.
"We made some progress. We've worked very hard," Mooney said. She declined further comment, saying a mediator had asked the parties not to speak to the media.
Key issues in the labor dispute involving the nation's fifth-largest rail system include salaries, pensions, health care and safety.
BART spokesman Rick Rice said the long meeting was a good sign.
"It's a lot better than not talking," he said.
The strike, however, continues to cause stress and frustration in the region. Commuters lined up early Wednesday for the transit agency's charter buses at five locations, waited patiently for ferries heading to San Francisco, and endured heavy rush-hour traffic on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge that lightened considerably by midmorning.
"I hope this is the last day," Teresa Hardin, 52, of Oakland, a benefits consultant, said before she boarded a San Francisco-bound ferry. "It's becoming harder to be sympathetic to either of the parties right now."
BART serves more than 400,000 commuters each weekday. The strike began early Monday after talks broke off. Negotiations resumed Tuesday as political pressure and public pleas mounted.
The governor's office sent two of the state's top mediators - the chair of the Public Employment Relations Board and the chief of the State Mediation and Conciliation Service - to facilitate further talks.
A letter from the state controller, lieutenant governor and insurance commissioner said the strike has caused "widespread personal hardship and severe economic disruption," and it noted they were disappointed "about the lack of productive proposals and counterproposals in the days leading up to the strike."
BART has said union train operators and station agents average about $71,000 in base salary and $11,000 in overtime annually. The workers also pay a flat $92 monthly fee for health insurance.
Commuter Hilary Hartman, 26, said she has a hard time sympathizing with the unions' demands for more money.
"They make almost twice as much as I do," Hartman said while waiting on Tuesday to take a bus from San Francisco to her job in Berkeley. "I work for a nonprofit. If I don't do my job, I get fired. I'm kind of like, please come do your job so I can do my job."
Despite such feelings, no backlash is likely against the union, said Steven Pitts, a labor policy specialist at the University of California, Berkeley's Center for Labor Research and Education.
Even though only about 11 percent of workers in the nation are union members, California is one of the more heavily unionized states in the country, he said, with San Francisco and Los Angeles serving as union strongholds.
"In this case, BART's unions feel that they have some leverage due to the lack of similar transit alternatives in the area, and BART can't run the trains without its workers," Pitts said.
BART travels through the farthest reaches of San Francisco's densely populated eastern suburbs to San Francisco International Airport across the bay. With 44 stations in four counties and 104 miles of lines, the trains handle more than 40 percent of commuters coming from the East Bay to San Francisco, area transportation officials said.
To aid commuters, BART has extended the hours of carpool lanes and added ferries and buses.
The unions - which represent nearly 2,400 train operators, station agents, mechanics, maintenance workers and professional staff - want a 5 percent raise each year over the next three years.
BART said it is offering an 8 percent salary increase over the next four years as well as reducing the amount of employee contributions it originally requested for pension and medical benefits.

Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Stefan Hüttelmaier (Speaker of the GRK1591)
Specific aim(s)/topic(s)
(1) The role of IGF2BP2 in controlling glucose homeostasis and diabetes
(2) The role of IGF2BP2 in growth control and tumor cell fate
Background and significance
One major class of RBPs associated with cancer and potentially diabetes is the IGF2 mRNA binding protein family (IGF2BPs). In humans, the IGF2BP family comprises three members, two of which, IGF2BP1 and IGF2BP3, are classified as oncofetal proteins with de novo synthesis in various solid cancers. In vitro studies suggest IGF2BP1 acts as a pro-metastatic oncogene promoting mesenchymal-like tumor cell properties including enforced migratory capacity as well as tumor cell survival. In contrast, the only family member observed in non-transformed adult mouse tissue, the IGF2BP2 paralogue, was suggested to modulate cell growth and glucose homeostasis. Genetic studies revealed that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the human IGF2BP2 gene are correlated with a modestly elevated risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). In vitro, IGF2BP2 was shown to promote IGF2 mRNA translation in an mTOR-dependent manner. This suggests the protein to promote cell growth. However, in vivo validation of both, IGF2BP2-dependent control of glucose homeostasis and/or cell growth, is still lacking. Moreover, the molecular mechanisms and downstream effectors via which IGF2BP2 exerts its postulated regulatory roles remain largely elusive.

I have got to the basics in place. It scrolls through each IP address in our range, determines whether it is up or down depending on a response from a ping and also gets the fqdn of the machine that it Pings using:

I guess my question is, could somebody point me in the right direction to uncover these details? so far all of my searches have come up dry. I did find a wmi.py module however that only works when running python on a windows host, rather than on a linux host.

Redlands Connection is a concoction of sports memories emanating from a city that once numbered less than 20,000 people. From the Super Bowl to the World Series, from the World Cup to golf's U.S. Open and the Olympics, plus NCAA Final Four connections, Tour de France cycling, major tennis, NBA and a little NHL, aquatics and quite a bit more, the sparkling little city that sits around halfway between Los Angeles and Palm Springs on Interstate 10 has its share of sports connections. – Obrey Brown
It's a growing club, one that began assembling in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. beginning in 2002.
There's Bob Bowman, the Arizona State University coach who helped guide Michael Phelps to a myriad of Olympic gold medals, who joined that exclusive list in 2010.
Add George Haines, who notched 26 women's national AAU championships, plus another nine men's titles at Northern California-based Santa Clara Swim Club before becoming head swimming coach at UCLA before heading off to Stanford.
Throw in Ron Ballatore, the five-time U.S. Olympic team coach who took over at UCLA upon Haines' departure — 10 gold medalists amid a myriad of achievements that included 26 NCAA individual champions.
All three men, among a few dozen more, are part of the American Soccer Coaches Association's Hall of Fame.
Redlands' Chuck Riggs' inclusion into ASCA's Hall of Fame this year might be considered long overdue.
Coming to Redlands as its club coach in the early 1980s, Riggs has a lifetime of swim-coaching achievements that keep adding up even at age 71.
Riggs, a diver during his competitive days in the midwest, is currently operating on the deck at Beaumont High School. That team, plus heading up the PASS Dolphins, is his latest test after spending a few years coaching at the University of Hawaii.
Beaumont was a nice landing spot — willing athletes and a nice facility.
"I'll do it," he said, "until I'm not having fun anymore."
In his early coaching days, he took 11 Riverside Aquatics Association swimmers to the 1972 Olympic Trials.
Let's see — 1972. Wasn't that the year Robin Backhaus claimed a bronze medal at the Munich Olympics, better known as the Mark Spitz Swimming Invitational?
Riggs admits to a small role in Backhaus' training.
Riggs met the Hall of Fame criteria long ago. Some criteria off that list:
- Placing two teams in the Top 10 at the USA Swimming Nationals, or NCAA Division I (top 10), II or III (top 2).
- Personal coach for two, or more years, of two individual USA summer national champions.
- Personal coach for two years, or more, of two individual USA Olympic or World Championship (long course) medalists.
- Personal coach for two, or more, years of two world record holders.
Around these parts, Riggs has made more than a contribution to swimming.
ASCA's Hall of Fame missed selecting him for years.
"All it took," he said, "was someone to nominate me."
Riggs could be excused for wincing every so often over another top-flight swimmer — Shannon Cullen.
A likely Olympian, Cullen was a contemporary — an outright competitor — of multiple Olympic medalist Amanda Beard. On the road to an Olympic career out of Riggs' Redlands Swim Team program, Cullen took off on a full-ride scholarship to swimming-rich USC.
That sport might've been awaiting a major showdown between the two medley specialists, Beard and Cullen. It couldn't have been set up any better.
Beard went on to international acclaim. Cullen chose a different path.
"She got a boyfriend," said Riggs, "who she later married."
Some two decades later, Riggs was asked to reminisce about the fabulous Cullen.
"She's still married to the same guy," he said, "and they have three beautiful kids."
Riggs' RST club produced well — in the water and out.
Vicky West went to Northwestern.
Steve Messner went to Cal-Berkeley.
Alicia Wheelock? Arizona State.
Evan Castro showed up at Utah.
Temple Cowden splashed in at Fresno State.
Yale got Erin Carlstrom and Cole Heggi.
Auburn landed Heather Kemp and Karl Krug.
Speaking of Auburn, Ben Worby went to arch-rival Alabama.
Then there's Krug.
Krug, along with another Redlands sprinter, Joey Hale, became the first prep tandem in history to record sub 20-second clockings in the 50-yard freestyle at a high school championship meet.
In 2008, Krug, Hale, Tyler Harp and Mike Perry combined for a 1:21.94 clocking in the boys 17-18 division at the U.S. National Championships.
Dozens of swimmers through the years reached U.S. Senior and Junior Nationals, plus the Olympic Trials.
Then there's Cynthia Woodhead, who's known to the swimming world as "Sippy." At one point, Woodhead held no less than 16 world records.
Woodhead would have been an Olympian in two Summer Games if not for the U.S. boycott of 1980 when she was just 16. By 1984, the Los Angeles Games, she was still in racing mode.
Woodhead won Olympic silver in the 200-meter freestyle.
There were seven world records, plus 18 American records.
Multiple medals at the 1978 World Championships, three gold and a silver.
Five gold medals at the 1979 Pan American Games.
In the 1983 Pan Am Games, Woodhead picked up a gold and silver medal.
There was a total of 18 U.S. national championships, ranging from the freestyle, medleys, butterfly and multiple relays.
Not all of Woodhead's marks were associated with Riggs. She swam in Mission Viejo — Hall of Fame coach Mark Schubert — for a couple years before landing at USC.
Riggs, however, set up her initial path.
At age 11, Riggs had Woodhead in his senior group in 1975.
The plan was simple, yet complex. It was always early-morning workouts balanced by late-day sessions.
Riggs was stoking the fires of a 12-year-old Woodhead who set a U.S. record in the 1650-yard freestyle. Woodhead was a world record holder at age 14.
Workouts included 20,000 yards daily.
There were 11 workouts each week.
Throw in weight training.
At Christmas one year, she did 30,000 yards that week — 5 ½ miles in the water!
While the athletes log the workload, it's the coach that sets the tone, schedules, outlines the pathway and formulates a motivational approach. Non-swimmers probably have no idea what it takes to become a swim champion.
Riggs, throughout his lengthy career, took notes all along the way.
Thirty-seven years in the classroom — Riverside Rubidoux High, mostly — as an English, history and philosophy teacher, Riggs coached two Pasadena City College divers to All-American status.
On Woodhead, said Riggs: "She never argued about the workouts. I sat down with her parents one time and we hashed out a plan when she was very young. She stuck to it."
Riggs' Hall of Fame induction, set for Sept. 6 at the World Clinic, scheduled for Anaheim. It's an hour's drive from Riggs' Redlands home.

This credit card has been denied by the bank that issued your credit card. For details on why your card was denied, please contact your credit card issuer's customer service department. Or, you may want to try adding a different credit card.
Md Shah Alam0
Did you check to make sure that your card has been activated and has an available balance? PayPal will try to charge the card with a test amount, so if you have a $0.00 balance this charge will be declined.0

Please note that in order to link your Payoneer with PayPal, you must have funds on your Payoneer card. If you have no funds it will not work for you since PayPal won't be able to charge the verification amountIf you have funds and still unable to verify the account - please contact PayPal directly.2

Please note that the US Payment Service provides you with details for a US bank account - account number and routing number. There is no sort code given.
Please make sure that your PayPal account has the option to withdraw to a US bank account.0
Hi there
I Heard Its Possible to create and verify paypal account with payoneer card. But I have some confusions so it would be great if anybody can help me on this topic.. Really appreciated.
I am From Bangladesh. There is such a no option for Bangladesh in country field of paypal.. What i should put there.?
What Account I needs to create Business or personal?
What Address I should Put in Address field?
Telephone No is one of the mandatory field how do i still solve the problem..?
I already read and saw about how to add card and bank details and i have payoneer usa payment service so i would able to do it if i have this solution..
Payoneer's US Payment Service provides you with a solution to receive bank transfers from US companies. Please note, however, that for PayPal you need to have a valid account that supports withdrawal to a US bank.
If PayPal is not supported in your country, Payoneer is not a solution to open a PayPal account and circumvent their regulations.1
Wow, I made a brief replay about this matter but system removed it. So any way... in short..
We cannot use paypal with payoneer as long as paypal don't add Bangladesh in their country list for registration.1
Sorry about that, @helal_desk - will check to see if I can find out why that happened.
Ask paypal what you will have to do for registering.
But I can save your time. Only paypal's listed verified country support this payoneer verification system. Also that country should be supported both in paypal and payoneer. So, You cannot have paypal account because...
You are from Bangladesh.
You made payoner account from Bangladesh.
Your country in payoneer set as Bangladesh.
Your nationality is Bangladeshi.
Paypal don't have country Bangladesh in country list.
After they add it in their database then you can add it up for registering beside this whatever illegal process you try to do for registering with them will cause your account block in paypal. Because their security got harden. :wink:0

Are you adding bank correct?
If so what error you see'ing on the the page When adding bank account.0
i see that error can't add bank account this time check back later0
[Deleted User] Posts: 0 ✭Hey @SameerRaza124, Unfortunately it seems that PayPal is not allowing you to add the US Payment Service to your account.
I would suggest contacting them and requesting assistance with adding a new bank account.
If they do not allow you to add this service, you will be unable to withdraw funds from PayPal to Payoneer. Please note that Payoneer is not associated with PayPal, and any withdrawal requests would be subject to PayPal rules and regulations.1
nightook Member Posts: 0 ✭WHy Paypal Refuse to accepte payoneer ?
Well! i know Why Cause Banks are in ;)
im Sure some will understand....anyways i hope payoneer will be fine after this .0
cintakesteeth1 Member Posts: 4 ✭I've got to disagree entirely. I am elated they aren't affiliated because PayPal has gotten to be a nightmare to do business with.0
Raisingstar Member Posts: 0 ✭I am a new user
and today I just got my prepaid card
However I realize I continue to run into an error
"The bank that issued your card didn't approve this transaction. Please contact the card issuer's customer service department if you have any questions. Or you can add a different card now to continue."
I am looked into it and from my understanding it's because there is no money in my payoneer account
therefore I am asking is there any other way to verify my account using payoneer?0
sangeeth Member Posts: 3 ✭If you want to verify your paypal account with your payoneer card, please make sure your card have enough money. if there is no money in your payoneer account, you cannot add it to paypal.0
AMCO19 Member Posts: 0 ✭I tried to add my Payoneer to Paypal and I kept getting this message : "You cannot add a bank at this time".
I contacted Payoneer support via Live Chat regarding this, and they said it should be possible to do, even if I'm not in the US. I then contacted Paypal, and they didn't even bother answering me. How rude. They kept sending this automated email telling me that I can only add a US bank account, although I pointed out that Payoneer provided me a routing number and an account number. So I decided to check their forum, and I found the answer. Apparently Paypal are adamant that Payoneer is a security risk and NOT a real bank account at all. Go to Paypal community and search "link Payoneer" to see for yourself.
What a waste of both my and Payoneer's time and resources...My Payoneer prepaid card is on its way, now I have no way of using it because I only get paid via Paypal...
I suggest Payoneer update their help center and support team that Paypal doesn't accept transactions involving Payoneer, unless they want to keep sending cards across the world for no good reason...
Anyway, I hope this helps people who are trying to access their Paypal funds via Payoneer...It won't work.
Good luck.1
help me any one same problem0
Hello, I work as graphic design freelancer residing in Venezuela and recently I have begun to expand my workplace to the international market.
I have active accounts on payoneer.com and paypal.com, initially requested the service activation USD Collection Account (before receiving the card) to receive payments for services to people in USA and it was aproved ( I have the email with the data sent from this site) but the service now appears inactive and when I requested information by customer service they told me that cause of their policies I won't be activated again.
Based on this information I have some questions:
First: The data initially sent to me me is no longer valid? To see if I can still use it.
Second: If the answer is no, is there a way to associate my paypal account with my payoneer account to receive money through paypal? because paypal ask for what I presume is the data sento from the USD Collection Account
Third, about the module for private credit card charges even when you receive money for freelancer services (Reason that is specified in several post should be the "correct" use of the card) understand that still apply certain limitations, then in sight that paypal is a partner of payoneer I can collect my services payments through this company without drawbacks for the future?
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this postand help me solve my questions.
Best regards.
Joe Gómez
Hola, trabajo como freelancer en el campo de diseño gráfico residenciado en Venezuela y recientemente he comenzado a expandir mi campo laboral al mercado internacional.
Poseo cuenta activa en payoneer.com y en paypal.com, en un inicio solicité la activación del servicio de la USD Collection Account (antes de recibir la tarjeta) para poder recibir pagos correspondientes a servicios a personas en estados unidos y me fue aprobada (tengo el correo con los datos enviados desde este sitio) sin embargo ahora el servicio me aparece como inactivo y al solicitar la información por atención al cliente me dicen que por las políticas no me lo pueden activar nuevamente.
En base a esta informacion tengo varias interrogantes:
Primero: ¿Los datos que me enviaron inicialmente ya no son válidos? Para saber si puedo utilizarla aún.
Segundo: En caso de que la respuesta sea negativa, ¿hay posibilidades de asociar mi cuenta paypal a mi cuenta payoneer para recibir el dinero a través de paypal? ya que solicita lo que presumo son los datos ofrecidos en la USD Collection Account
Tercero, Respecto al módulo de cargas privadas por tarjeta de crédito, aún cuando reciba dinero por servicios freelancer (Razón que se ha especificado en varios post debe ser el uso "correcto" de la tarjeta) entiendo que sigue teniendo ciertas limitaciones, entonces en vista de que paypal es un partner de payoneer ¿puedo cobrar mis servicios a través de esta empresa sin inconvenientes a futuro?
Muchas gracias por tomarse el tiempo de leer este post y ayudarme a solucionar mis interrogantes.

My card had been compromised, then the new one was issued. Should I change any bank account details in my PayPal account in order to continue receiving my payments? It's been a few days since I sent a certain amount from PayPal to my "old" bank acc, and I can't see the money anywhere. :disappointed:
Could you guys advise?
Many thanks in advance.0

The Bridge Season 1 Episode 3 recap
After just two episodes we have a lot of plot to deal with. There's Rich Widow and her tunnel to Mexico engaged in a casserole-based pissing match with Lyle Lovett, and by extension, the cartel he represents; there's Creepy Steven the…half-way house worker?...who may also be the serial killer (aka Doug, for simplicity's sake); Matthew Lillard is a drunk prick and Cub Reporter is his reluctant sidekick; Smart One the lone surviving illegal immigrant has been kidnapped (possibly by Doug); and let's not forget The Missing Hooker and her Raging Lunatic Pimp.
Then there's Sonya and Marco, the odd couple, trying to solve the murders of their two bridge victims, Judge Gates and Christina Fuentes. Also there are 250 missing girls in Juarez, who might all be dead (Doug is very efficient).
A few people who live along the US/Mexico border emailed to offer comparisons between the show and reality. It sounds bad, and I'm from Chicago, where we issue press releases when we make it twenty-four hours without killing one another.
Rich Widow's husband's funeral introduces his kid and a mysterious figure of a woman in the distance.
Doug poisoned the immigrants with sarin in the water. That's…awful.
Oh look, it's Creepy Steven chilling in front of his Airstream.
Deputy Stokes had his cowboy hat on backwards. Delightful detail.
We need a cross-over episode with Justified that's just Hank and Art shooting the sh*t. Hank is awesome. The FBI agent is trying to piss on his lawn and he's like, "Ain't no one got time for this." Which is pretty much how Art treats the FBI (inference: everyone hates the FBI). Also Hank thinks something is wrong with Deputy Stokes because of that whole coyote-killing thing.
No surprises—Rich Widow's step-daughter hates her, and the local Junior League bitches hate her, too. Because she's from Tampa, I guess. She seems nice enough, and she was willing to dump three-bean casserole on a shady lawyer's desk and throw his money in his face. That's pretty metal.
Matthew Lillard cokes up in the police station before going into a meeting with his editor and Hank. They discuss information sharing. No one likes Matthew Lillard.
The mysterious figure from the funeral turns out to be someone from the cartel. Rich Widow sticks to her guns, which may or may not become an ironic statement, depending on how this arc goes.
Doug sounds a lot like Creepy Steven. He has a nefarious plan for Smart One, something about making people feel her fate.
Smart One's name is Maria. And Doug wants four people to pay ransom in order to free her. So all that "feel her fate" stuff was just about money. Isn't always just about money?
Rich Widow is now tangled up in their case. She refuses to speak to Sonya.
Marco's druggie son is in trouble again.
Sonya and Marco interview Creepy Steven, who is actually pretty sympathetic. He lost his sister in the foster care system and despite his overt weirdness in prolonged exposure it starts to seem shy, not creepy. And he's clearly frightened when Marco loses his temper—shades of a sad foster care past.
There is a really shoddy bit of camera work at the end of the interrogation scene. Gross.
Marco's druggie son conceives an instant crush on Sonya, which, I assume, is the natural reaction to seeing Diane Kruger in person.
A fight on the streets of Juarez ends with one dude shooting another dude in the face, right in front of Matthew Lillard. He can't handle it and Cub Reporter saves him.
These slo-mo fight teasers for Sons of Anarchy look like a Bosch painting.
Matthew Lillard speaking horrible Spanish to Cub Reporter's family only for them to reply in perfect English is another delightful detail. I like the way this show adds texture to character. They're world building without ever having to slow down the mystery plot.
Creepy Steven asking homeless people if they've seen his sister is REALLY SAD. I hope he isn't Doug. I'm starting to like Creepy Steven. He narrowly avoids the Raging Lunatic Pimp.
So Sonya filed that complaint against Marco because he let the ambulance cross the bridge when they discovered the bodies, and some of Marco's fellow officers added to it, claiming Rich Widow bribed him to let them pass. I can't tell if that's specific to Marco for some reason or just some assh*le thing the cops do to each other.
Marco and Rich Widow making out whaaaaaat?!
Matthew Lillard: How did you not get stuck here?
Cub Reporter: I don't like boys. I don't like boys…and that saved me, in a way.
Cub Reporter's sexuality reveal is handled very well, but it also makes an interesting side-point. "There are ways to not get pregnant," she says, linking birth control/reproductive rights to a woman's ability to advance in education and career. I like how this show pokes at topical political issues without being preachy or argumentative. This is like the opposite of Aaron Sorkin.
Sonya's one night stand shows up at the station. "I can't have sex at work," she says. He just wants her number.
Marco gets it.
WHOA—literal horse head moment. Rich Widow discovers her dead husband's beautiful palomino horse has been killed and strung up in her barn. Sh*t's getting real.
Doug left Maria tied up in the desert, broadcasting live on the internet. So that's how we end this week, with a dead horse and a real-time death by exposure. This show is going to be SO GRIM. I kind of love it.

Lindsey Duke will be joining Blake Bortles at the NFL Draft (photos)
After much trepidation, speculation and an overabundance of, uh, hope, Lindsey Duke announced on Twitter Tuesday morning that she will in fact be traveling to New York and will be along for the ride as Blake Bortles sits in Radio City Music Hall and awaits his fate in the 2014 NFL Draft on Thursday.
FINALLY New York bound! Thursday can't come soon enough!
— Lindsey Duke (@liindseyduke) May 6, 2014
Of course, Duke has become a deserving Internet sensation as the Central Florida Knights quarterback's star has risen during his prolific college career. So much so, in fact, that NFL teams actually have made inquiries and asked questions about her during interviews.
Wonder why.
Oh yeah. That's why.

Will something come of it after all? On Tuesday, crop scientists at one of Britain's leading agricultural centres pleaded with anti-GM campaigners to call off plans to trash a field trial of GM wheat. They invited the protesters to discuss the work instead. In response, the campaigners proposed an open debate where both sides could air their views in public. To this, the researchers have agreed. The time and venue are now being worked out.
The dialogue between scientists who work on GM crops and anti-GM groups has rarely been a productive one. Many scientists give talks about their work, and host open days where the public can stroll around their labs and hear the science explained. But campaigners argue that their concerns are brushed aside, either by the scientists themselves, or by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, or its advisory committee on releases to the environment, which assesses the risks of GMO trials in the UK. No surprise then that many campaigners don't trust the scientists or have faith in the system's impartiality.
The scientists wrote to the campaign group Take the Flour Back - and recorded a video appeal - after the group declared a day of mass action to destroy the wheat plots at Rothamsted Research in Hertfordshire. The wheat carries a gene that produces what is called an aphid alarm pheromone. Known as E-beta-farnesene or EBF, the odour is released by aphids under attack as a warning that makes others flee. But more than 400 plants have evolved to produce the odour naturally, including peppermint.
The wheat plants have other genes inserted into them. One is an antibiotic marker, used to select the modified plants in the lab. And some carry a further gene that produces the chemicals the plant needs to make the pheromone. That boosts the level of aphid repellant the plant releases roughly fivefold.
The thinking behind the crop is that in making the aphid-repelling odor, it will thrive without being sprayed with so much insecticide. That is an open question, and one that can be answered by these kinds of trials. In one previous study, researchers in Germany modified arabidopsis plants with the same aphid-repelling gene. In lab tests it had no effect on aphid attacks, but the plants were never tested in the open air.
Campaigners at Take the Flour Back replied to the scientists' appeal within hours. They argued that pollen from the GM wheat could spread unwanted genes into conventional wheat and threaten the future livelihoods of the farming community. To protect against this, the modified crop is surrounded by a barrier of barley and conventional wheat that will be destroyed at the end of the trial. The campaigners go on to challenge the scientists on other issues, from the future commercialisation of the crop to its unpredictable impacts on non-target species.
In the latest exchange on Thursday, Prof John Pickett, Rothamsted's head of chemical ecology, emailed the campaigners to agree to the public debate and open a discussion about venues and hosts. The points the campaigners raised in their letter look set to form the backbone of the debate. Will the two sides resolve their differences? That is hard to imagine. But there's an opportunity here to move the GM debate on, and the onus is on these scientists and campaigners to seize it.

Captain Jack Sparrow took time from his pirate duties to visit patients at a children's hospital in Vancouver, Canada.
Actor Johnny Depp, in his role as Jack Sparrow from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie franchise, surprised patients at BC Children's Hospital on Monday. According to the hospital's Facebook page, Depp spent over five hours meeting face-to-face with patients in the oncology, general pediatrics and neurology wards.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"Meeting Captain Jack was a dream come true for my daughter," said Sarah Kertcher, mother of 7-year-old Madison, a patient at the hospital. "He never broke character once and was so generous with his time. He was truly here for the kids and it brought tears to my eyes to see how special he made each one feel."
Depp's visit to the Vancouver hospital was not the actor's first time making a unexpected appearance to fans — in 2015, Depp, dressed as Sparrow, surprised patients at a children's hospital in Australia.
The fifth and most recent "Pirates of the Caribbean" film was released in May.

TAIPEI, TAIWAN (Sept. 25, 3:30 p.m. ET) — Slowdowns in emerging markets, including China, Vietnam and India, hurt results for Taiwan's large plastics and rubber machinery sector in the first half of the year, although there were bright spots in Thailand and Indonesia.
Taiwan — which claims to be the world's fourth-largest exporter of plastics and rubber equipment — saw a slight drop in its overall plastics and rubber machinery exports in the first half of the year, down 2 percent to US$631.7 million, led by a 7.5 percent fall to its largest market, mainland China.
Speaking at a Sept. 21 news conference on the opening day of the Taipei Plas show, industry officials said they considered the small drop acceptable — one trade association leader termed it "remarkable" considering the fragile state of the world economy.
But the figures were gloomier in some major sectors: sales of injection molding machines dropped 17 percent, for example.
The overall falloff is a sharp swing from 2011, when Taiwanese machinery exports rose 14.4 percent on growth from the BRIC nations — Brazil, Russia, India, China — and other emerging economies.
Taiwanese officials said the cooling in emerging markets stems from problems in the U.S. and Europe.
"The impact of the sluggish U.S. economy and European debt crisis was the main reason for the decline, which resulted in reduced purchases of machinery in emerging markets," said David Wu, chairman of the Plastic and Rubber Committee of the Taiwan Association of Machinery Industry.
Wu, who spoke at the opening day news conference, also is general manager of Taiwanese molding machine maker Multiplas Enginery Co. Ltd. of Gueishan Township.
Machinery exports to Vietnam, Taiwan's fourth-largest market, were down 18 percent. Exports to India, its fifth-largest market, were down 40 percent, a drop that Taiwanese executives said surprised them and reflected India's weakened currency.
But other markets were showing resiliency, according to figures released at the fair.
Exports to Thailand, which is Taiwan's second-largest export market, rose 48 percent in the first half, although a significant portion of that could be from one-time business, as plastics processing companies replaced large amounts of equipment destroyed in severe floods there last year.
One Taiwanese injection molding machine supplier, Fu Chun Shin Machinery Manufacture Co. Ltd. of Tainan, said one flood-related order from Thailand was for 300 machines.
Indonesia, as well, was strong. Plastics and rubber machinery exports there rose 4.5 percent in the first half of the year, on top of a big jump of 29 percent in 2011, making it Taiwan's third-largest market. Interest in Indonesia was high, judging by conversations with exhibitors at the fair.
Indonesia is the world's fourth-most-populous country, with a population of 242 million people. It is attracting foreign investment because of a stable political environment and GDP growth, said Bush Hsieh, one of the vice chairman of the plastics machinery committee and director of blow molding equipment maker Chumpower Machinery Corp. of Taichung.
David Chang, vice general manager of Multiplas, said Indonesia may be gaining favor over Vietnam because it has three times as many people and is seen as a more viable long-term alternate source of workers than Vietnam. "People don't think as much about Vietnam as five years ago," Chang said.
The widespread slowdown, particularly in China, has Taiwanese officials looking to expand in other markets, including the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia.
Organizers of Taipei Plas, for example, said they targeted nine emerging markets to bring in delegations of buyers — Vietnam, Indonesia, India, the Middle East, Turkey, Russia, South Africa, Brazil and China.
The plastics industry of Taiwan and its 23 million people, roughly the population of Texas, is sizable.
Its companies make 15,000 injection molding machines a year — five times the number sold in the U.S. each year and more than the 12,500 units made annually by Japanese companies. Taiwan exports about 80 percent of its equipment.
Its machines are typically less-expensive, with a Taiwanese injection press selling for roughly one-third to one-fourth the cost of a Japanese model, Wu said.
The slowdown in China hit hardest.
Taiwanese robot maker Alfa Auto Machinery Co. Ltd., for example, is selling 20 percent fewer robots in China this year than 2011, a sign that even as wages and other costs rise sharply in China and companies look to automation, spending is tight, said James Huang, general manager of the Taipei-based company.
"Overall it is true that the Chinese market is declining," said Wu. "For those injection molding machines made locally in China, the decline is as much as 50 percent."
Wu said Taiwan's industry needs to keep upgrading its technology and selling integrated systems of machinery, rather than single units, to stay competitive against machine makers in China, India and other markets.
"The Taiwanese plastics and rubber machinery industry should actively explore emerging markets, enhance [research and development] for new products and upgrade their technologies," said John Hsu, chairman of the Taiwan Association of Machinery Industry.
Taiwan's plastics sector has advantages in technology-intensive products, with 95 percent of the plastic components in the Apple iPhone made by Taiwanese companies, Wu said.
The fair, held Sept. 21-25 in Taipei, attracted 475 exhibiting companies. Officials were expecting attendance of about 16,000.

Living in Las Vegas I likely have a skewed idea of what customer service means. In the tech world, we have Zappos headquarters in downtown Las Vegas. Most of you are likely familiar with Zappos unique approach to customer service. They really have taken customer service to the next level and created an entire company culture around the customer service they provide. The same could be said for the experience that the various casinos on the strip offer their customers. They do a really amazing job at most casinos providing an amazing customer service experience.
With this background, I find it really smart of Kareo to open an office in Las Vegas. Although, that's not really the point of this post. Instead, I want to focus on the idea that most EHR vendors need expand their idea of customer service.
As I look at the world of EHR customer service I see so many organization lacking. Certainly we see examples of terrible EHR customer service that include calling into a call center in another country where the person doesn't speak English and has no power to actually solve a user's problems (Disclaimer: I don't have a problem with call centers in other countries if they are well trained and can actually solve problems). Of course, the same thing can apply to a call center in the US who can't solve the users' actual problems. Both are terrible customer service and a problem in the industry. However, there's a far more painful problem that I don't think most EHR vendors consider a part of their customer service plan and 99% of EHR vendors have done terrible at this.
Adding new features and accommodating an EHR user's feature request is just as much a part of the EHR customer service experience as the person who answers the phone. I can assure you that every EHR vendor out there would get rated an F the past few years when it comes to this form of EHR customer service. Why do I know this? I know this because every EHR vendor has been focused on meaningful use that they haven't had the time to add any meaningful EHR user feature requests and features outside of meaningful use.
This isn't EHR vendors' fault. The end users have required it and EHR vendors have had to spend the time doing it. However, EHR customer service has suffered as a consequence. Don't believe me. Look through all the EHR press releases that have been released over the past couple years. Find me the plethora of press releases that talk about the innovations that EHR vendors have created for their end users that aren't related to meaningful use. I get the press releases and they're MIA.
That's not to say that EHR vendors have done nothing for end users. They've made some incremental progress on a few things, but meaningful use has zapped their development time. Stage 2 was even worse. I look forward to the new day where EHR vendors can focus on great customer service and EHR features and not just MU.

The four-fight televised main card for October's UFC on Versus 6 event is set.
Headlining the Versus-televised show is UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz (18-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) vs. Demetrious Johnson (10-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC).
"UFC on Versus 6: Cruz vs. Johnson" takes place Oct. 1 at Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. It marks the UFC's debut in the U.S. capital.
Also on the main card are Charlie Brenneman (14-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) vs. Anthony Johnson (9-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC), Pat Barry (6-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) vs. Stefan Struve (21-5 MMA, 5-3 UFC) and Mac Danzig (20-8-1 MMA, 4-4 UFC) vs. Matt Wiman (13-6 MMA, 7-4 UFC).
Cruz carries and impressive nine-fight winning streak into the contest. The Alliance MMA product recently avenged his lone career loss by earning a decision win over Urijah Faber in the main event of UFC 132. Cruz made the transition to the octagon after earning seven-consecutive wins in the WEC. The run saw him claim 135-pound gold with a March 2010 win over Brian Bowles and also net two successful defenses of the title with decision wins over Scott Jorgensen and Joseph Benavidez.
The diminutive Johnson, a fighter most MMA pundits expected to drop to 125 pounds the moment the UFC introduces the long-rumored flyweight class, will now look to become just the second-ever champion in the UFC's bantamweight division. The 24-year-old debuted for the now-shuttered WEC with a high-paced decision loss to Brad Pickett but has since rattled off four-straight wins. The first two, victories over Damacio Page and Nick Pace, each took place in the WEC, and decision wins over Miguel Torres and Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto were earned in the UFC's octagon.
The current UFC on Versus 6 card includes:
MAIN CARD (Versus)
- Champ Dominick Cruz vs. Demetrious Johnson (for bantamweight title)
- Charlie Brenneman vs. Anthony Johnson
- Pat Barry vs. Stefan Struve
- Mac Danzig vs. Matt Wiman
PRELIMINARY CARD (un-aired)
- T.J. Grant vs. Shane Roller
- Yves Edwards vs. Rafaello Oliveira
- Michael Johnson vs. Paul Sass
- Mike Easton vs. Jeff Hougland

While some veteran anglers would rather do a polar plunge than go fishing on Opening Day -- crowds jamming the stream and pond banks are, they snoot, a lot like the beer drinkers in the bars on St. Patrick's Day: amateurs -- we say phooey to that. Opening Day is the most fun day of fishing season, when anybody able to scout up an ancient Zebco combo and a couple of Rooster Tails tries their luck on the fish-laden water body of their choice. Even the few "serious" fishermen, who growl if someone casts across their line, can't put a damper on the air of good feeling that permeates Opening Day. Maybe a fair sample of the crowd won't fish again for the rest of the season, but they can (and will) proudly proclaim they "made it out" on Opening Day. So start getting that gear organized, 26 days will fly by. As reported in this space last week, the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (will somebody please find a way to write that name without suffering typing fatigue) is well into its spring trout stocking program. The numbers of fish the department stocks always amazes, and this year more than 200 truckloads of trout will be dumped into 102 lakes and ponds and 200 rivers and streams all over the state in preparation for Opening Day. Did you ever wonder who the poor state employee who counts the hatchery-raised trout one by one is? Whatever, here are the results of labors by species: Brook trout (10 to 11 inches) 62,500; brown trout (10 to 11 inches) 194,500; brown trout (12 inch) 6,600; tiger trout (10 to 12 inches) 2,000; rainbow trout (10 to 12 inches) 95,900; rainbow trout (12 to 14 inches) 15,900; surplus brood stock (3 to 10 pounds, all species) 1,350. Meanwhile, as the inland crew was busy shepherding those tiny fingerlings to adulthood, the Marine Fisheries Division up in Old Lyme was doing the trigonometry on the saltwater species. This week they issued the 2013 rules for seasons, minimum length and creel limits. Here is an abbreviated version of the regs. American shad: Harvesting allowed only in the Connecticut River system starting north of a line between Griswold Point and the outer light on the Old Saybrook breakwater. In all other areas, American Shad are catch and release only. Atlantic menhaden: A creel limit of 50 fish or 5 gallons, whichever is greater. (Hear that, you Massachusetts bunker poachers?) Black sea bass: Minimum size 13 inches. Summer season is June 15 to Aug. 31 with a limit of three fish. Fall season is Sept. 1 to Oct. 29 with a limit of 8 fish. Porgies: Season is May 1 to Dec. 31 with a minimum size of 10.5 inches and a limit of 20 fish. (Head boat and charter regulations differ.) Fluke: Season is May 15 to Oct. 31 with a minimum size of 17.5 and a limit of five fish. Blackfish: Season No. 1 is April 1-30, limit two fish. Season No. 2 is July 1 to Aug. 31, also two-fish limit. Season No. 3 is Oct. 10 to Dec. 6 with a limit of four fish. A minimum length of 16 inches for all seasons. Weakfish (write if you catch one): Year-round season with one-fish limit and minimum size of 16 inches. Winter flounder: Season is April 1 to May 30. Minimum size 12 inches, two-fish limit. Like last year, there are good shore angler bonus programs for fluke and porgies, as well as a voucher-based striped bass bonus program. Check the 2013 Angler's Guide, due out April 10, for details. firstname.lastname@example.com

TECHNOLOGY is something else! Check out the video below of TUPAC SHAKUR at the Coachella Music Festival in Indio, CA 2012 performing hit songs such as "Gangsta Party" with SNOOP DOGG on stage & "HAIL MARY" in which DR. DRE had the word "KILLUMINATI" edited out, which is spoken by TUPAC in the original version of his song "HAIL MARY"(Hmmm, wonder why)
What an awesome impact TUPAC obviously made for living folks to have the desire, to actually spend the time resurrecting his Image & Voice…I also could not help but notice how DR. DRE and SNOOP obviously had to resurrect a dead man for some "sales". Now, I hear DR. DRE may be sending the TUPAC hologram on tour as part of his show! Afeni Shakur gave the okay for the Coachella event, and I'm sure she will get big money for allowing a tour of her late son's image & voice.
What a powerful Soldier for GOD, TUPAC SHAKUR could have been if living today. Quite possibly too powerful in his message for the "elite". May the soul of TUPAC SHAKUR Rest in Eternal Peace.

The Lincoln LS may be a Lincoln, but if you think it's a rolling sofa, then you're way off the mark. This is Lincoln's most youthful car and it's no cushy-mobile. In styling, style and performance, the LS is fashioned in the image of a European sports sedan. The LS is aimed squarely at the import competition, and in a broad sense it covers the mark. One indication of that is that it uses rear-wheel drive, the first mark of a sports sedan, like those from Mercedes and BMW.
Last year, the Lincoln LS benefited from major revisions, involving more than 500 new or redesigned parts. As a result, the LS feels more refined and more comfortable. Its V8 and V6 engines are more powerful and more sophisticated, benefiting from the addition of variable valve timing. The interior was improved substantially and now features an attractive platinum-colored center panel that has a look and feel of quality. Comfort and convenience were enhanced with power-adjustable pedals, increased center console space and an electronic parking brake.
The biggest benefit was in the area of suspension tuning and a reinforced chassis, which improved handling and ride quality. The LS feels firmer, sportier, more European than before.
The 2004 Lincoln LS is further improved. The five-speed automatic transmission has been upgraded for smoother shifting and engagement. Additional chassis improvements reduce noise, vibration and harshness in the cabin. And satellite radio is now available.
Even the least expensive LS comes very well equipped. In the midsize sport-luxury market, few sedans can compete with the LS on the benefit-per-dollar scale.
The Lincoln LS comes with a choice of two engines, a 232-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 or a 280-horsepower 3.9-liter V8. All models come standard with a five-speed automatic.
Three trim levels are available with either engine, each building on the prior in terms of standard equipment. The V6 Luxury model ($32,120) comes with 16-inch wheels and tires, all-speed traction control, power-adjustable pedals, leather seats with eight-way power adjustment for the driver and six-way for the front passenger, an in-dash CD player, black lacquer interior trim and dual-zone climate control. The Appearance trim level ($35,890) adds more features, including auto-dimming mirrors, built-in universal remote buttons and three-position seat memory that links the outside mirrors, pedal and steering wheel positions. The V6 Premium ($36,520) includes a power moonroof, rain-sensing wipers, a high-watt sound system with an in-dash CD changer, burled walnut interior accents and heated and cooled seats.
Options for the LS V6 include Lincoln's AdvanceTrac electronic stability control system ($775), which can help manage skids by sensing wheel slip and applying the brake at the appropriate wheel. The safety/parking package ($845) includes rear park assist to warn the driver of hidden obstacles.
Even with high-value pricing for the V6, two-thirds of all LS buyers choose the V8. It's an attractive option because the LS V8 retails for less than some competitors with six-cylinder engines. All V8 models feature an automatic transmission with a manual shift control and a firmer suspension for a sportier driving experience. The LS V8 Sport ($39,720) gets more aggressive 17-inch wheels, heated side mirrors and aluminum interior accents. The V8 LSE ($43,115) features a more aggressive exterior package, including chrome wheels, spoiler, unique front and rear fascias and fog lamps. The LS V8 Ultimate ($43,120) adds a power moonroof, rain-sensing wipers, the AdvanceTrac electronic stability control system, and burled walnut interior accents.
Options for V8 models include heated rear seats ($405), high-intensity discharge headlamps ($595) and a DVD-driven touch screen navigation system ($2,995).
The LS offers most of the occupant-protection ingredients expected in this class. Front-passenger dual-stage frontal and side-impact airbags are standard. The safety/parking option adds curtain-style head-protection airbags for outboard passengers front and rear, a good idea.
With its long wheelbase, short overhangs and chunky rear end, the Lincoln LS presents a classy profile. Its angular lines share little with the rest of the Lincoln family, apart from the badges and waterfall grille.
The LS underwent some significant exterior styling changes for 2003. The grille, front fascia, exterior mirrors, rear deck lid, tail lamps, license plate trim and wheels were all redesigned, resulting in a cleaner overall look. The difference is most obvious from the rear, where smooth lamps replaced rippled taillight lenses. Little has changed for 2004, though there are two new colors: Cashmere TriCoat (essentially white) and Light French Silk metallic (light gold).
Our favorite LS is the V8 LSE. Its bright wheels and color-keyed grille, rocker panels and license-plate surround suit our idea of a sporting luxury sedan nicely. It looks clean, aggressive, classy.
The Lincoln LS interior is understated, in the European fashion. The feeling is cozy, almost cockpit-style, and there are no gaudy trim pieces. The leather seats, nonetheless, feel cushy in the Lincoln tradition. They're comfortable, but not as supportive as the seats found in a Mercedes-Benz or BMW. The driver and front passenger seats offer power adjustments with three-way memory for the driver on most models. The power tilt-and-telescope steering wheel and exterior mirrors are tied to the memory buttons, and when the ignition is switched off the driver's seat automatically moves back, which makes getting in and out easier.
The interior trim is high quality and everything fits together nice and tight. Lincoln offers two new interior color combinations for 2004: Dark Stone/Medium Light Stone and Shale/Dove. A canopy shields the instruments. On Premium and Ultimate models, real burled walnut trim brightens the doors and the area around the controls, giving the cabin a warm, rich ambience. The platinum-colored center panel is a high-quality piece. Stereo and climate controls are clustered in a large center stack that's easily accessible for either driver or passenger. The climate system is easy to operate. The seats feature seat heaters for those cold winter mornings and fans for hot, sultry summer afternoons. We liked the seat fans; you can hear them.
All controls have a satisfying feel, thanks largely to upgrades made last year. The headlamp switch, for example, can be turned to the right to turn on parking lights or headlights, or it can be turned to the left to the Auto setting, which automatically turns the lights on or off, depending on available light. This is much nicer than having to switch through all the other settings like you do with GM products. The LS features a power electronic parking brake, similar to that of the BMW 7 Series. Both front power windows feature Auto-up/down. The ignition switch is on the dash, which is nicer and easier to use than having it on the steering column.
The center console is deep and offers good storage room. Two power points are provided along with a great pair of rubber-lined cup holders. The sliding center armrest moves back and forth, adjusting for the position of the driver's seat. The remote key fob will open all windows for quick ventilation on hot days. The driver can easily program functions; for example, the auto-locking feature can be turned off.
The navigation system worked well, better than many others, and we found it easier to use than the Mercedes system. Adjusting the volume on the navigation system can be challenging while driving, however, annoying when you want the voice commands to shut up.
The audio system uses the system's touch screen display; it has a feature allowing the driver to adjust the sound for optimum balance according to the number and seating position of your passengers. Sirius Satellite Radio is now available for the LS. You can listen to the FoxNews and CNN 24-hour news stations, dedicated sports channels, or CD-quality music without having to search for new stations as you drive across the country.
Rear-seat passengers are taken care of nicely. The rear seats are firm and dished, yet raised slightly for a better forward view. Rear-seat headroom is among the best in class. Legroom is adequate for most adults, as long as the front seats aren't pushed too far back, but hip room is a little lacking.
Cargo space can be expanded by a feature rare in the luxury class: A 60/40 split folding seat, which is very convenient for carrying long items. With 13.5 cubic feet of space, the trunk offers reasonable cargo volume, though not as much as most cars in this class.
Driving the Lincoln LS is more than pleasant. It's quiet and offers an excellent balance of crisp handling and a smooth ride. The suspension is tuned more like a Mercedes than a Lincoln. In many situations, it feels as good as a European sedan.
This sedan performs well when driven aggressively. The rear-drive layout means pure steering and balanced, sure-footed handling, helped out by the suspension improvements that were made starting with the 2003 models. Control of noise, vibration and harshness has improved steadily since the LS was introduced, creating a smooth, quiet environment inside.
The V8 engine works great and we prefer it. The increased power improved this Lincoln's credentials as a sports sedan. With 280 horsepower and 286 pounds-feet of torque on tap, the LS V8 will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in the low 6-second range. A decade ago that was hot-rod performance and it's still very quick. Moreover, the V8 accelerates quickly at any speed when you jab the gas, whether you do so at 20 mph or 70 mph. Its relatively small displacement compared to other V8s in the class pays dividends, too. Reported at 18 mpg city and 24 highway, the LS V8 has some of the highest EPA mileage ratings among V8-powered luxury cars. The throttle is a bit sensitive at tip-in, so you may need to get used to using a gentle foot when accelerating away from a standstill. Also, there's not much engine braking, so you may find yourself using the brakes a bit more than with European cars.
That said, the LS V6 is no slouch. It has one of the highest specific outputs of any V6 available. That means it delivers more power for its size. With 232 horsepower and 220 pounds-feet of torque, it beats BMW's vaunted 3.0-liter straight-six.
Last year we complained that the five-speed automatic gearbox had a tendency to shift a bit slowly, particularly under hard-throttle downshifts. The LS could still use some improvement here, but refinements to the transmission have smoothed the shifting for 2004. In particular, the improvements are intended to soften the shock when the driver shifts quickly from reverse to drive after backing up.
The Select Shift on the V8 models helps address the shift-speed problem, because it allows the driver to manually change gears by pushing the gearshift lever forward to shift up or by pulling it back to shift down. Yet enthusiast drivers may find a gripe here as well. Similar systems in some other cars will hold the selected gear no matter how high you rev the engine. Run the engine to close to the redline in the LS, and the transmission automatically shifts up whether you want it to or not. On the other hand, that's a savior when you forget you're in the manual mode and forget to shift.
We like the balance between ride comfort and sharp handling the LS delivers. For starters, this sedan has a nearly perfect 50/50 weight distribution. To help achieve this balancing act, Lincoln locates the battery in the trunk and uses lightweight aluminum for the hood and front fenders. As a result, it doesn't lean back and lighten the front wheels under hard acceleration (squat), or dive excessively under aggressive braking. We felt some road vibration on the 2003 model we drove and it didn't handle big bumps well, but improvements made to the 2004 model address this. As mentioned, the LS sends its power to the rear wheels rather than the front wheels. While many manufacturers went to front-wheel drive to reduce costs and for packaging reasons, rear-wheel drive is better for high-performance applications and for luxury cars. That's why Formula 1, Indy cars and NASCAR stock cars are rear-wheel drive.
Steering feel is excellent, among the nicest of any car on the road, and steering effort increases smoothly with speed, though sometimes we found we needed to make small corrections at high speeds.
The brakes are excellent and easy to modulate, whether stopping hard or in everyday driving.
Dearborn got this one right. The Lincoln LS benefited from major updates for 2003 and has been refined further for 2004. Trim choices have been simplified, the transmission has been refined and buyers get more color choices inside and out. With improved switchgear, nice leather in all models and high-quality soft plastics, the LS interior meets luxury-grade expectations.
The Lincoln LS remains the sportiest car in Lincoln's line-up, and the one best suited for enthusiast drivers. In any trim level, the LS offers good acceleration and balanced handling, without riding too stiffly. Its rear-wheel-drive layout gives it the feel of a European luxury sedan, and delivers strong value when compared with comparable cars from Europe and Japan. The LS is a solid car irrespective of price; factor in the money left in your pocket rather than the manufacturer's, and it looks even better.

100 Years of 'Scouting'stevejb68 on February 21, 2013 in Anniversary, Nostalgia, Scouting
The other day I received my latest copy of Scouting Magazine. (For those of you unfamiliar with that publication, it is the B.S.A.'s official magazine for adult leaders of the Scouting program.) I have always enjoyed reading Scouting and often got a pointer or two from each issue. The cover of this latest edition caught my attention. I did not realize that it is the 100th anniversary of Scouting magazine, but the front cover announces it boldly to the whole world.
According to the Scouting magazine website:
How many magazines do you know that can say they've published for 100 years? As of April 2013, you can count Scouting magazine among them. For 100 years, we've published more than 900 issues — all with the same goal: serving the BSA's adult leaders and volunteers.
To celebrate our centennial anniversary, we've partnered up with the University of North Texas Digital Projects Unit to digitize every single issue of Scouting that ever rolled off the press.
You can view the initial product from this partnership at scoutingmagazine.org/archives. Here, you'll see scanned editions of magazines from as early as 1913 to the mid 1920s. Visitors can search these scans, zoom in to examine photographs and illustrations, and read stories that describe issues faced by early Scouters.
This got me thinking. I signed up as an assistant scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 68 in May 1980. I have been receiving Scouting Magazine ever since then, for 33 years. That means I own one third of all the Scouting Magazines ever published. Yes, that is correct. I still have them. They are stored in a closet in the basement, along with 33 years of Boy's Life Magazine. For some reason I never threw them away. A little weird, huh?
Congratulations to the folks at Scouting Magazine! May you have another 100 years worth of issues in your future.

Carrot Tagliatelle
It occured to me recently that I'd never posted the recipe for the homemade tagliatelle I'd made to accompany the saged carrot pasta sauce. Since Autumn in all its glory is on my mind these days, I figured this would be a good time to add the method for this wonderfully autumnal-hued pasta. If you'd like to recreate the dish pictured above, just top this carrot tagliatelle with the velvety sauce found here.
1/2 cup semolina flour
1/2 cup unbleached flour
1 tsp walnut oil
few tablespoons carrot juice
Place dry ingredients into a food processor. Pulse to mix. Add in oil and then add the carrot juice a tablespoon at a time while the machine is running until the dough pulls off the sides and forms a ball. Move to a floured surface and knead a few times. Shape into a flattened disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Allow the dough to relax for at least an hour before rolling.
Flour the dough and run it through a pasta machine at the highest setting a couple of times. Progressively run it through higher settings until the thickness you wish is achieved. Cut into long strips and lightly dust with semolina flour to prevent sticking. Let pasta rest for 15 minutes or so before cooking.
Fresh pasta takes only a couple of minutes to cook.

Michael Chertoff
Michael Chertoff (born November 28, 1953) was the Secretary of U.S. Homeland Security including jurisdiction over FEMA for national disaster management, appointed by President George W. Bush on January 11, 2005 to succeed Tom Ridge. Previously, he served as a judge on the United States Court of Appeals as a Federal Prosecutor, and as Assistant U.S. Attorney General under the Bush Administration.
Michael Chertoff's father Rabbi Gershon Baruch Chertoff, was the former leader of the B'nai Israel Congregation in Elizabeth, NJ and his mother, Livia Chertoff, was an El Al flight attendant . His grandfather was a Talmudic scholar.
Air travel security
According to Reuters:
- On May 29, 2008 Secretary Chertoff said that he would seek to adopt novel Israeli methods, like behavior-detection technologies, to better secure America's airports.
- Ben-Gurion International Airport relies heavily on techniques that detect suspicious behavior among travelers.[1]
Chertoff is a high-profile advocate for airport body scanners to protect the flying public from future terror attacks. In a conflict of interest, he never did not volunteer that he is a consultant to a company that makes such equipment.[2]

A Hilbert space is a complete vector space equipped with scalar product, i.e. a symmetric positive definite bilinear form.
What if we replace 'bilinear' by 'n-linear'? One might wonder, whether the $l^3$-norm might be induced by a trilinear form in a similar fashion like the $l^2$-norm by a bilinear form is.
Is there any interesting theory on this?
