I'm kind of surprised that, unlike the witches books, (as far as I know) it's never been adapted as a play. With imaginative backdrops and props, and perhaps puppetry (or ventriloquism), it could make for great, thought provoking theater. You get the broad comedy of the Brutha/Om relationship, the terror of Vorbis, and the great ending.
Or maybe is has been adapted?

- U Think: Founders' Conservatism
Associate Professor of History Seth Cotlar
Current News
Willamette U Think addresses ideas about founders' conservatism
Willamette University's U Think, a popular pub series featuring talks and discussions with university professors, will move to the second Wednesday of each month beginning Sept. 14. History professor Seth Cotlar will discuss the historical accuracy of Tea Party claims about America's founders.
While the Tea Party tends to favor state over federal power, "the men who wrote the Constitution were the centralizers of their day, and almost all of them distrusted the states," says Cotlar. "James Madison, the 'father of the Constitution,' went so far as to suggest that the federal government should have the right to veto any state law it found unacceptable.
"This talk will suggest some new ways to think about what the founding era can – and cannot – teach us about contemporary politics," says Cotlar.
Beginning at 6:30 p.m. at Brown's Towne Lounge, the series features topics from the sciences and humanities. No background knowledge is necessary, and a question and answer session follows each presentation.
The venue is open to adults 21 and over, and it is in the heart of downtown Salem at 189 Liberty St. NE. Willamette U Think is free, so arrive early to eat, drink and ensure you get a seat.

|Wide Angle Ports Wide Angle Ports contain several lens elements to encompass a larger underwater view. It is by far the most commonly used port as it affords a very broad field of view and large depth of field. Large animals or big reef scenes can be captured with sharp focus on both near and far subjects. They usually have little or no zoom capability, which is a feature only available on Super Wide ports (see the next section). Two versions of Wide Angle Ports are available from Gates: the GP-series (with field replaceable dome) and the WP-series, part of the Gates Precision Port family. Wide Angle ports are a part of any underwater imaging kit. They are highly recommended for those new to underwater imaging because they make it easy to 'point and shoot' with straightforward success.

CHIPLEY — After nearly a decade of historic growth and improvements for Northwest Florida Community Hospital, an era is coming to a close.
On Dec. 15, NFCH CEO/President Pat Schlenker will sell his majority stock holdings in Northwest Florida Healthcare Inc. to Signature HealthCARE Systems.
Signature owns Washington Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Chipley.
"This is not an asset sell, NFHI will remain its own corporation," Schlenker said on Friday. "We will remain two separate organizations."
"This is really an exciting time for us," said Bret Brown, administrator of WRNC. "This will allow us to work together and combine to be a model for rural health care."
To continue to grow, NFCH needs to formally partner with a larger healthcare system.
Schlenker said the necessity for NFCH to align itself with a bigger organization became evident more than a year ago, when The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as Obama Care, still loomed on the horizon. "Now that it is unlikely Obamacare will be overturned, it is even more of a necessity," he said.
"With all the changes coming, it became evident that we would need a bigger organization to bundle with," he said. Bundling with a larger organization will make the reimbursement process more efficient.
Partnering with a larger system will also help the hospital meet its growing need for cost containment, Schlenker said. "If NFCH is going to continue to thrive in the coming years, I am convinced it needs the economies of scale that a larger organization can provide," he wrote in a letter to the Washington County Board of County Commissioners, from whom NFHI leased the hospital back in 2004.
Signature HealthCARE is a leading provider of long-term care services in the Eastern and Southeastern United States, operating 73 communities in seven states with more than 12,000 employees, according to the company's website.
"Additionally, Signature and its affiliated organizations own and/or manage more than 20 Critical Access Hospitals in the eastern United States," Schlenker said. "In addition to everything else, Signature's local facilities will be a tremendous source for referrals to the hospital and our physicians. I am convinced this will take NFCH to the next level in volume and quality of services provided."
Signature HealthCARE re-located its corporate offices from Palm Beach Gardens, to Louisville, Ky., in 2010. Signature is growing rapidly, acquiring new facilities and developing innovations and businesses to better serve the aging population.
Besides WRNC, Signature has 24 facilities in Florida, according to its website, with three of those being local — Defuniak Springs, Marianna and Graceville.
Shaky start
In March of 2004, Schlenker's corporation Northwest Florida Healthcare Inc. leased the Northwest Florida Community Hospital from Washington County for 40 years. At the time, the hospital was in big trouble — it was millions of dollars in the hole and showed no signs of improving, Schlenker said.
As a representative of the Sacred Heart Health Systems, Schlenker had investigated the Chipley hospital as a possible investment for that company, but the sale didn't happen. Schlenker, after having done due diligence, saw something that made him want to come to the Washington County facility's rescue.
"I just fell in love with the community, and with the people," Schlenker said. He resigned from Sacred Heart and started his own company to run the hospital, but he could find no willing investors. NFCH had lost almost $5 million in the four years prior to 2004, with $1.9 million of that being lost the year prior to the lease.
The Schlenkers had to personally sign for a $1.5 million small business loan to help get NFCH back on track. "That loan is almost paid off now," Schlenker said. "That was a scary time, but I couldn't find any investors."
In Schlenker's office hangs a dry-erase board with the message: "Mr. Schlenker, thank you for believing in us. Good luck!" The board is signed by employees and it was created in 2004 when NFHI took over the hospital. Eight years later, Schlenker still believes.
Prayer was also part of Schlenker's secret for success. "I used to pray all the way over here from Milton, sometimes I had to pray that we would make payroll," he said. "There was no money in the hospital at all." Schlenker also took a 75 percent salary decrease in his new role as CEO/President of NFCH.
Of course, Northwest Florida Community Hospital is tremendously successful. "We were successful in turning the hospital around in approximately 42 months," Schlenker said.
Last year NFCH was recognized by the Florida Hospital Association as the most improved hospital in the state of Florida for hospitals of 150 beds or less. There are about 150 hospitals of that size in the state.
The hospital was also honored last year by being named the Washington County Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year.
Most recently, the hospital was listed in Inc. Magazine's "5,000 fastest growing business" list, which includes all of the United States.
"When you think about how small the chances are of being on that list, it's incredible," Schlenker said. "Something like .001 percent chance. There are five million registered businesses in the U.S., and there were 650,000 that were considered for the list."
Future growth
Brown said the potential of NFCH and WRNC working together to improve lives, especially in elder care, will be greatly enhanced with the merger. "There are models of elder care that can only be done in a rural setting, and Signature is a trendsetter in the industry," he said. "This is really exciting for both of us."
Schlenker said after he turns over his stock to Signature on Dec. 15, that doesn't mean he will be going anywhere. "I will stay on as CEO and president for another year, then I will move to hospital governance and advisory boards for another three years,"
The change will be absolutely transparent and does not involve the leases, Schlenker said. Employee benefits will not be affected as the hospital is not being sold. NFHI which holds the leases will continue to exist as an active Florida corporation.
"The new partnership between NFCH and Signature HealthCARE will allow the hospital to continue its reputation for excellence under new management and allow me to retire in a year," Schlenker told the county commissioners.
The best part, Schlenker said, is that after retirement as CEO/president, he will be able to continue to associate as a board member with the organization, community and associates he has grown to respect and love.
"I'm 71 years old and I will be closer to 73 by the time the first year ends. I can't do this forever," he said. "It will also give me a chance to wean myself," Schlenker said. "I care about the staff and the doctors here, I don't think I could just leave all at once."

Doc Savage Audiobook
The Jade Ogre
by Will Murray, Based on a Concept by Lester Dent
Liner Notes by Will Murray
When I started writing
The Jade Ogre
back in the Summer of 1991, I didn't consciously set out to pen the longest Doc Savage novel ever published. It just turned out that way.
Let me tell you the tale behind the tale .
When Bantam Books asked me to continue the long-running Doc Savage series, I knew I wanted to base them on the uncompleted works of the late Lester Dent, originator of the Man of Bronze. My first Doc,
Python Isle,
was written from an unused outline dating to 1934. My second,
White Eyes
, originated with an unfinished story opening, also from '34.
As I moved forward with the series, I started looking at Lester's files for material not conceived for Doc, but adaptable to the series. Early in his career, Dent had created a hulking hero he called Curt Flagg, a private investigator of the Sam Spade knock 'em and shoot 'em up hardboiled detective school popular at that time. This series appeared in a magazine called
Scotland Yard
in 1931, which had its own radio spin-off show. Lester did a couple of scripts for that program too.
I could detect some of the energy and ideas for Doc Savage percolating in the Curt Flagg stories. He was no ordinary P. I. Flagg took on pirates, Zeppelin highjackers and wicked master criminals, supported by a growing band of savvy operatives. He was Doc Savage before Doc Savage.
Scotland Yard
soon fell victim to the Great Depression. When the magazine was cancelled, one complete Curt Flagg story and an unused outline were orphaned. It was the outline that interested me. It told the tale of how Flagg and some of his assistants booked passage on a San Francisco to Hong King ocean liner to hunt down Quon, the Jade Ogreone of the most malevolent master criminals in the world.
By transforming Curt Flagg to Doc Savage, changing his lovely blonde assistant, Dita Vardi, to Patricia Savage, and inserting some of Doc's men into the mix, I believed I had a template for a great Doc Savage story.
There was only one problem: The outline was structured for a 35,00 word novella. I had to turn it into a Doc Savage novel of at least twice that length!
Undaunted, I set out to try. In order to stretch out the action, I painted a portrait of a moody atmospheric San Francisco, and took my time building up the early chapters as Doc Savage enters the picture arriving in a 1935-era passenger airliner. I did extensive research in order to get the period details right for the peril-fraught Pacific Ocean crossing. While Lester Dent had not fully developed the menace that was the jade-masked Quon in his outline, he did reuse the character in another unpublished story, and this I ransacked for my interpretation of the evil creature.
Several chapters in, I felt I was succeeding in my goal.
The truth was, I succeed
well. By pacing the narrative the way that I did, I found the storyline just stretched and stretched and stretched.
I don't recall
The Jade Ogre's
exact length, but I believe it came in at about 125,000 wordsmore than twice the length of the longest of Lester Dent's original Docs. In short, I had backed into writing a globe-spanning epic.
Under the pressure of deadlines, I turned the manuscript in as written, but in the back of my mind, I was haunted by the thought that I should have scaled it down to a faster-paced narrative.
When Tom Brown of RadioArchives.com told me wanted to turn it into an audiobook, I warned him that it might run too long, and suggested we edit it for running time. But Tom wanted to do it unabridged. I was skeptical. After Michael McConnohie recorded it, Michael and producer Roger Rittner told me how well it worked as radiowhich after all is the medium an audiobook emulates in many ways.
Here's what Michael said on The Book Cave podcast:
"The action in
Jade Ogre,
which is a much longer work than
Python Isle,
is not relentless, but it is in the perfect rhythm to pick up the story and move it along. The writing is just right. The words are spare, but not bare, and when it needs to breathe, it does. This thing moves along. It is just an absolutely beautiful ride."
The Jade Ogre
makes a wonderful listening experience," Roger added. "Will has packed a cast of colorful characters, plus mystery, intrigue, action, adventure, and a bit of mysticism into an epic tale. And not a single chapter drags. Despite its length,
The Jade Ogre
races right along, with just the right timing of slower passages that let the listener catch his or her breath. And Michael is superb as the voice of every character in the book. It's an epic adventure to be savored."
I was flabbergasted. For twenty years I believed that
The Jade Ogre
was the one time I took a story too far. It was wonderfully gratifying to hear that it held up so well. And when I listened to Chapter 1 of the production, I was hooked. The story really came to life. I realized that instead of a big, bulky unadapatable book, I had written a true epic worthy of being dramatized by talents like Michael and Roger.
I credit three people with this miracleMichael, Roger, and last but not least, Lester Dent, who wrote engaging narratives which would have made great radio. I stand on their shoulders.
So there you have it.
The Jade Ogre
will carry you the listener from the fog-shrouded streets of the Chinatown of 1935 San Francisco to the crumbling ruins of Cambodia as the armless and ruthless Jade Ogre attempts to blackmail the world with his lethal Jade Fever. This is a quest, a running gangster war and a fearful excursion into the heart of darkness that is Asiaor the Asia Americans imagined in the 1930s.
Think Dr. Fu Manchu meets
China Seas
. You won't be disappointed.

Mar 6, 2003
(Bellwood, Ill. - March 6, 2003) - An anniversary is approaching - a silver anniversary of sorts. No it's not the 25th anniversary of anything, but it is the return of Sharpie and Kurt Busch to the site of the team's first Winston Cup series win, the Food City 500. Sharpie, the world's most popular family of permanent markers and title sponsor of the Sharpie 500 in August, today announced that Kurt Busch and the No. 97 Rubbermaid/Sharpie Ford team will be featuring a paint scheme highlighting the new Sharpie Metallic "Silver" marker at the Food City 500 on Sunday, March 23. Sharpie and Busch also plan to race the Sharpie Metallic silver car at the Sharpie 500. "I can't believe it has been a year since we won in Bristol," said Busch. "I ran a special Sharpie paint scheme last year at the Bristol Spring race and I am hoping that we will make it two in a row for the Spring. If we win, I am going to sign the black checkers in Victory Lane using the Sharpie Metallic, of course." Now the Winston Cup point standings leader, Busch not so long ago was looking for his first win. With four victories in 2002 and second place finishes at Daytona and Rockingham this year, Busch has quickly positioned himself as a top contender for each and every race. The Sharpie car is decorated with eye-catching, silver-metallic splashes of color highlighting the new metallic marker that can write on dark surfaces. "The Sharpie Metallic silver marker is the hottest new product from Sharpie since the brand was introduced in 1964," said Greg Stoner, vice president and general manager for Sharpie. "Seems fitting to get the help of one of the hottest drivers in NASCAR to 'quickly' spread the word."
The new paint scheme is also the unofficial kick-off to the second annual "You Could Win $1,000,000" sweepstakes. The potential payout will be awarded at the Sharpie 500 on Saturday, August 23. The sweepstakes, found on specially marked Sharpie packages, runs through July 15, with one lucky finalist getting the chance to win $1 million at the Sharpie 500. Individuals interested in participating should look for specially marked Sharpie packages in stores throughout the United States and Canada (void in Alaska, Hawaii and Quebec) or simply go to www.sharpie500.com. No purchase is necessary.

Social Security. Who do you trust yours with? Do you want a liberal/socialist looking after your interests? Or would you prefer someone who is conservative and a successful business man?
Every presidential election this issue comes up. Usually the Democrats demonize the Republicans as to being insensitive and uncaring to the issues of senior citizens. Conversely the Republicans accuse the Democrats of being poor managers and raiding the system every chance they get. And who knows what else.
The truth of the matter is that neither party wants the social security system to go belly up on their watch. I can't imagine anyone wanting to let that happen during their term as president. That would be political suicide for that president and for that party for years to come.
So back to the original question, "Who do you want looking out for you? A liberal/socialist or a conservative/business man?" We get to answer that question this November. I challenge you to think hard about your decision.
Come out to the Push for a Better American meeting this Friday at Molina;s restaurant. Meet and greet starts at 6:00 pm and the meeting is at 7:00 o'clock. I hope to see you there.

Everyday exposure to asthma triggers can cause airway inflammation in kids with asthma, even if they're not experiencing breathing difficulties. Airway inflammation builds over time, leaving kids at risk for unexpected flare-ups. They might feel fine, even as their airways are becoming swollen, narrow, and blocked.
Just listening to your child's breathing might not help you detect inflamed or obstructed airways. But an inexpensive, portable device called a peak flow meter can measure lung function, and this information can help you manage your child's asthma and avoid major flare-ups.
A peak flow meter measures the flow of air as it's expelled from the lungs. To do this, your child will blow into the peak flow meter (as if blowing up a balloon). A marker will slide up a scale on the meter as your child blows out to indicate how much air was exhaled. The peak flow is the number where the marker stops on the scale.
A peak flow meter can tell you and your doctor:
If the peak flow is lower than usual, you know that your child's airways are inflamed and obstructed, making it difficult to blow air into the meter. This means that lung function isn't at its best and a flare-up might be on the way. This advance warning gives you a chance to take preventive measures, such as giving medicine.
Using a peak flow meter is simple:
The highest recorded number isn't the whole story. You should compare it with your child's personal best — the highest peak flow meter reading your child has ever gotten. Your doctor can help establish this personal best early in treatment. After that, your child may need to take regular readings as established in the asthma action plan that the doctor recommends. Compare these readings with the personal best each time.
The doctor will establish three zones of peak flow meter readings based on your child's personal best reading. The asthma action plan will include instructions about what to do for readings in each zone:
Peak flow meters need little care, but they do need to be washed regularly with hot water and mild soap. They also come in two ranges — one for younger kids and another for older kids, teens, and adults. Kids as young as 3 have been able to use peak flow meters, although the readings are most reliable in those older than the age of 5 or 6.
Peak flow meters are only useful if you and your child use them as recommended, record the results, and communicate those results to the doctor. Encourage your child now to be diligent about using the peak flow meter and start a habit that will carry into adulthood.

FORT WALTON BEACH — Okaloosa County School Board members began discussing Thursday the practical details of placing sheriff's deputies in all schools.
Sheriff Larry Ashley kicked off the workshop with a short presentation concerning costs and anecdotal evidence about why it was important the School Board finds money to fund the new positions.
"I don't think we have a filter to keep the criminal element out of our schools," he said. "We have some measures that do that, but they're woefully inadequate."
Ashley's presentation came nearly a month after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. prompted public safety and school officials across the nation to review their security.
View the presentation Ashley gave to the School Board »
As he spoke, board members nodded and took a few notes about the plan that would call for the school district to pay an additional $565,198 this school year for 26 new school resource officers to man elementary schools.
The district now pays about $550,000 to have 14 deputies in middle and high schools except Choice High School and Technical Center and Lewis School. The Sheriff's Office foots the other portion of the cost currently.
Ashley proposed that the rest of the funding would come from his department and Okaloosa County.
The 26 additional deputies, including two at charter schools, have been in place since before the Christmas holiday. The Sheriff's Office has absorbed the cost thus far.
School Board members offered their views after Ashley wrapped up his presentation.
Dewey Destin, the newest member, said he supported the idea.
"I want to congratulate you on taking this emergency action," Destin told Ashley. "Now we have to find out where the money is going to come from and how we can make the best use of the money."
Cathy Thigpen and board Chairman Rodney Walker also expressed support, and Cindy Frakes asked the district take it a step further.
"I would like to see the district staff do a safety survey," she said. "We may need to do more than this … I hate to go to a police state and do metal detectors, but I know many schools have."
Melissa Thrush said that while she applauded efforts to increase school safety, she was concerned where the money would come from.
For the last two years, she said the board has opted to not place resource officers in two secondary schools because the Safe School fund, which they use to pay for the deputies, didn't cover the cost for them.
"What are we going to cut? What does the community want us to cut?" Thrush asked. "… I would hate for us to implement something only to have it go away again because we're back at square one because we don't have the funds."
According to Chief Financial Officer Rita Scallan, the school district could dip into a contingency reserve fund for this year. She said the Rader Group would foot $45,000 to pay for two deputies at its charter schools.
The board is expected to vote on the funding at its meeting Monday.
"I hate that we're having this conversation, but we are and we're going to make a plan, and hopefully it will be one that makes us all feel a little safer," Thigpen said.
WANT TO ATTEND? The Okaloosa County School Board will meet at 6 p.m. Monday at 120 Lowery Place in Fort Walton Beach.

Final Score: Ohio University 27, Marshall 24
Huntington, WV (Sports Network) - Jelani Woseley came up with a clutch interception to help the Bobcats clinch the victory as Ohio University edged the Marshall Thundering Herd, 27-24, in the Battle for the Bell rivalry game at Joan C. Edwards Stadium.
Tyler Tettleton led Ohio (3-0) by completing 20-of-35 passes for 200 yards and three scores. Beau Blankenship contributed 102 yards on 30 carries on the ground while Ryan Clark and Tyler Furtrell each recorded a receiving touchdown. Matt Weller lifted the Bobcats to the lead with a 38-yard field goal with just 97 seconds remaining. Ian Wells had a strong performance on the other side of the ball with four tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, and two pass break ups. Ohio remains the only team from the MAC without a loss.
Marshall (1-2), which went into the week leading the NCAA in passing, received another stellar performance from Rakeem Cato, who completed a school record 44 passes on 65 attempts for 432 yards and three touchdowns before his late game interception. Tommy Shuler had a big day with 121 yards on 13 grabs while Aaron Dobson reeled in 11 catches for 94 yards and a touchdown. D.J. Hunter recorded 12 tackles and forced a fumble.
The Thundering Herd came out of the gate hot and marched down the field on its opening drive before Cato found Jazz King for a three-yard touchdown pass.
Marshall extended its lead to 14-0 when Cato capped off a 10-play, 85-yard drive by completing a five-yard scoring pass to Dobson at the 6:46 mark of the period.
Ohio charged back in the second quarter, first with a six-yard touchdown pass from Tettleton to Troy Hill. Weller added a 22-yard field goal with 6:27 left in the opening half to make it 14-10.
The Bobcats took their first lead with 49 seconds left before halftime as Tettleton threw it four yards to Furtrell for a touchdown to punctuate a 13- play, 96-yard drive. Tettleton's second touchdown pass of the day gave Ohio a 17-14 lead heading into the intermission.
Cato answered after the break by completing a 14-yard touchdown pass to Gator Hoskins for the third period's only score.
Justin Haig connected on a 37-yard field goal in the opening minute of the final frame to give the Herd a 24-17 lead.
Ohio answered on the ensuing drive and Ryan Clark's 27 yard touchdown catch courtesy of a Tettleton pass evened up the score, 24-24, with 10:43 left to play.
Nathan Carpenter's 48 yard fumble return set up Weller for the go-ahead field goal.
Cato and Marshall's offense drove down to Ohio's 27-yard line before the Woseley's interception.
Despite the loss, Marshall held a 491-399 advantage in the total offensive yardage battle.
Ohio had not defeated Marshall twice in a row since 1979 and 1980.

Manchester City defender Gael Clichy believes Yaya Toure could not be the dynamic force he is without Gareth Barry beside him.
Toure has given City's Barclays Premier League title charge a shot in the arm with two outstanding performances in victories over Blackburn and Bolton since returning from the African Nations Cup. City look a much tougher proposition with him back but Clichy also wants to highlight the role of a relatively unsung hero in Barry.
"Of course Yaya is impressive, but it's always the way in football that the players who score goals or make a difference in the final third are the ones we look at. But without Gareth Barry, Yaya wouldn't be the same player," said Clichy.

Introducing the All-Wheel Drive Model S 70D
Today, we are introducing the Model S 70D, an all-wheel drive electric car with a 0-60 time of 5.2 seconds and a 250 mile range at 65 mph.
Even at a starting price of $75k, the Model S 70D offers a broad and compelling set of features. Moreover, when one factors in the cost advantages over an internal combustion engine vehicle, including fuel savings and incentives, the actual cost of owning Model S 70D comes to about $55k over five years (the average length of new car ownership).
Announcing the Tesla Model W
PALO ALTO, Calif., April 1, 2015 –Tesla today announced a whole new product line called the Model W. As many in the media predicted, it's a watch. That's what the "W" stands for.
Model S Has You Covered
Most cars don't improve over time. By contrast, Model S gets faster, smarter, and better as time passes. With Tesla's regular over-the-air software updates, Model S actually improves while you sleep. When you wake up, added functionality, enhanced performance, and improved user experience make you feel like you are driving a new car. We want to improve cars in ways most people didn't imagine possible.
A Peace of Mind Guarantee
We recognize that many European drivers prefer to lease their automobiles, personally or through their company, so we now offer the Tesla Resale Value Guarantee in all 11 European markets where we sell Model S.
2,000 Superchargers
Last week Tesla reached a milestone of 2,000 Superchargers worldwide, located at almost 400 Supercharger Stations in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Tesla Superchargers enable free long distance electric driving across the United States, and up and down the West and East Coasts. They connect the United Kingdom to continental Europe and stretch from the south of France to northern Norway, far up into the Arctic Circle. In China, Superchargers link major cities along the coast, and we recently opened Supercharger stations in Japan and Australia.
Roadster Road Trip Update: San Jose to Los Angeles on a Single Charge
The Roadster 3.0 package applies what we've learned from Model S to Roadster. No new Model S battery pack or major range upgrade is expected in the near term.
On the one-year anniversary of Tesla's Cross Country Rally, we set out to drive non-stop from San Jose to Los Angeles on a single charge in a prototype of the Roadster 3.0 upgrade.
Tesla Announces Release Date for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2014 Financial Results
PALO ALTO, Calif., January 29, 2015 – Tesla announces that it will post its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2014, after market close on Wednesday, February 11, 2015. At that time, Tesla will issue a brief advisory release containing a link to the Q4 and Full Year 2014 Shareholder Letter, available on the company website. Tesla management will hold a live question & answer webcast at 2:30pm Pacific Time (5:30pm Eastern Time) to discuss the Company's financial and business results and outlook.
Driving Range for the Model S Family
As the Model S family has expanded over time it has become more relevant to compare range from one variant to another with a consistent set of assumptions so our customers can know what to expect and make the best decision to fit their needs. This can be a bit difficult since the background test methodology and standards from the US EPA are evolving over time. There are also many customer vehicle configuration choices, both before and after purchase, that can affect range as much as or more than the vehicle platform choice itself.
Roadster 3.0
Battery technology has continued a steady improvement in recent years, as has our experience in optimizing total vehicle efficiency through Model S development. We have long been excited to apply our learning back to our first vehicle, and are thrilled to do just that with the prototype Roadster 3.0 package. It consists of three main improvement areas.
Battery Swap Pilot Program
At an event in Los Angeles last year, we showcased battery swap technology to demonstrate that it's possible to replace a Model S battery in less time than it takes to fill a gas tank. This technology allows Model S owners in need of a battery charge the choice of either fast or free. The free long distance travel option is already well covered by our growing Supercharger network, which is now at 312 stations with more than 1,748 Superchargers worldwide. They allow Model S drivers to charge at 400 miles per hour. Now we're starting exploratory work on the fast option.

Composed of 10 vignettes, each one inspired by one of the Biblical commandments, "The Ten" is an irreverent but hilarious illustration of how bad behavior makes for good comedy. With each story told in a different style, but containing overlapping characters and themes, the film is a grand burlesque boasting an all-star cast that puts the sin back in cinema.
Rated R for pervasive strong violence, language and some drug use.

Okaloosa County Commissioner James Campbell has been arrested on four counts of official misconduct and four counts of perjury.
Agents of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement took Campbell into custody at about 10:15 a.m. Monday.
His bond was set at $24,000, and he posted bail and was released at about 7 p.m.
Gov. Rick Scott issued an executive order early Monday afternoon suspending him from his role as county commissioner.
Read Scott's order »
Campbell was arrested following a four-month investigation, an FDLE news release states.
Read his arrest report »
He faces misdemeanor perjury charges for failing to report, as an elected official, four large payments he received from the nonprofit council that manages Niceville's annual Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival.
State statute dictates county commissioners, among dozens of other elected positions, must report "any sources of income" over $1,000 to the Florida Commission on Ethics, the FDLE release states.
The felony official misconduct charges stem from Campbell's alleged misuse of his county office.
State Attorney Bill Eddins said some of the money Campbell pocketed came from sponsorships he solicited for the Mullet Festival from county-run agencies he oversaw as a commissioner.
"Indirectly, he obtained county money in those instances," Eddins said.
Okaloosa County Sheriff's investigators looking into former tourism head Mark Bellinger's misuse of county and BP funds uncovered evidence of Campbell's wrongdoing, FDLE spokeswoman Gretl Plessinger said.
"It was a spinoff," she said. "When they were investigating Bellinger, information was developed relating to Mr. Campbell."
Campbell, Niceville's longtime director of parks and recreation, has been soliciting sponsorships for the city's Mullet Festival for "12 or 13 years," according to City Man-ager Lannie Corbin, who also heads the festival committee.
"We were trying to get sponsors and not doing a very good job, so we agreed to pay a percentage if somebody would bring in sponsors," he said. "James was a natural. He works in recreation and public relations."
The committee's standard practice was to write checks to Campbell for 20 percent of what he brought in, Corbin said.
Campbell told the FDLE in interviews that he believed soliciting sponsorships for the Mullet Festival was part of his job with the city.
He told investigators he "began soliciting sponsors for the Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival when he was approached by Corbin."
He "claimed that he believed that Corbin's request was made as a directive from his superior and that recruiting sponsors was part of his job," the report states.
Corbin said Monday he didn't consider Campbell's city duties to include solicitation of Mullet Festival sponsorships. And he expected him to be responsible for reporting the commissions he received.
"I expected him to report whatever he got. … He was just doing it as an individual," Corbin said.
"I am shocked. James Campbell is a good person. He's been very good for this community. If he had thought something was wrong with this, he wouldn't have done it," Corbin said. "It's a shame really, from both the Mullet Festival perspective and his perspective."
Campbell failed to report payments he received from the Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival Committee in 2005, 2006 and 2010, according to his arrest report.
The 2010 payment included a $2,500 commission for Mullet Festival sponsorships he obtained from Jay Odom's Crystal Beach Development and from the Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council.
Crystal Beach Development donated $2,500. The TDC donated a total of $10,000, which Bellinger paid for with BP oil spill grant funds.
In 2006, the report states, Campbell received a payment of $1,750 from the Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival Committee for obtaining a $2,500 donation from Hammock Bay Real Estate LLC, another Odom-held company.
In 2005, Campbell received two payments, totaling $2,000, for recruiting a $6,666 sponsorship for the Mullet Festival from Cellular South.
In 2011, Campbell received payments totaling $4,500 from the Mullet Festival Committee for sponsorship commitments obtained from Crystal Beach Development, Nufletch LLC, the Northwest Florida Regional Airport and a BP-funded TDC renewal.
That $4,500 commission was reported for the first time July 5, when Campbell filed an amendment to his 2011 disclosure form.
According to his arrest report, Campbell told investigators he amended his financial report after learning "he was potentially the target of a criminal investigation regarding his receipt of payments from the Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival."
In a July 31 interview with the FDLE, Campbell told agents his wife annually filled out his (Form 6) public official disclosure forms. He simply signed them, he said.
He "stated that he did not disclose to his wife the amounts being paid by the Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival because he would use that money for his personal hunting ex-penses," the arrest report states.
Five days before his arrest, Campbell was again questioned by the FDLE.
He told agents, according to the report, that he filed amended Form 6 reports for the years of 2005, 2006 and 2010 after he "learned that the payments earned in those years were also a focus of the FDLE criminal investigation."
Eddins said the conclusion of the Campbell investigation does not end the investigation into wrongdoing involving the TDC.
"The investigation is continuing and more arrests are possible," he said.
"We have met with the state Auditor General's Office and they are continuing to review the financial aspects involving all of the financial dealings of the TDC," Eddins said. "This investigation could remain open for several more months."
Citing the still active investigation, Okaloosa Sheriff Larry Ashley declined to comment on the arrest.
County Administrator Jim Curry said he was notified of Campbell's arrest early Monday.
"It's very troubling," he said. "It's very concerning. I've known James personally for many, many years."
County Commission chairman Don Amunds said he wasn't aware of Campbell's arrangement with the Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival.
Amunds said the board of commissioners will continue its work in the wake of Campbell's arrest.
"Nobody wants this to be happening, but will it affect the commission or the job of the commission? No, I don't believe so," he added.
County Comissioner Dave Parisot said Campbell's suspension was appropriate considering the charges against him.
"(Disclosure Form 6) is required every year, and it's got to be accurate," Parisot said. "We're all responsible for the information we put on our Form 6s. I try to be as accurate as possible on mine."
The governor's office has not stated what options it is considering to replace Campbell.
He has only a few weeks remaining before he gives up his seat to incoming Commissioner Kelly Windes.
Windes could be immediately installed as a commissioner or the seat could remain vacant until he is officially sworn in in mid-November.
"I think the right thing to do would be to appoint Kelly Windes because he was elected," Parisot said. "Then we'd be back up to a full commission."
Windes said Monday he had heard about Campbell's arrest and called it "most unfortunate."
He declined to make further comment.

4G mobile broadband auction to lower prices
Mobile phone operators have begun bidding for 4G mobile broadband licences, in a process expected to introduce competition to the airwaves by summer.
Currently only EE offers superfast mobile broadband services commercially. Yesterday it announced a 20GB data plan that costs £46 per month on a SIM-only basis and £61 with a 4G handset on a 24-month contract.
Prices are expected to fall once rivals O2, Vodafone and 3 are able to introduce their new networks.
Ed Richards, the chief executive of the communications regulator Ofcom, which is running the auction over the next few weeks, said the start of the process today was a "very significant milestone".
"It will release the essential raw material for the next wave of mobile digital services," he said.
"This will change the way we consume digital media in both our personal and working lives and deliver significant benefits to millions of consumers and businesses across the country."
The winners are expected to be announced by early March.
The bidding firms, which as well as the consumer mobile operators include firms who want to use 4G technology for transmitting data within communications networks, will compete for 28 chunks of spectrum in the 800MHz and 2.6Ghz bands.
The auction will be conducted in secrecy online. Bidders will first tell regulators what combination of chunks of spectrum they are interested in owning and how much they would be willing to pay for it. Through a series of rounds, the price will rise in increments of at least five per cent. The winner will pay the lowest price that is greater than any other bid, in similar style to an eBay auction.
A second process will then give them the chance to bid on other lots in the hope they can still win a useful combination of spectrum chunks. To run a national 4G mobile broadband network, operators will ideally want licences for both 800MHz, which is best for covering wide areas, and 2.6GHz which is useful in densely populated areas as it offers more capacity.
Mr Richards said last month he was concerned the auction had become a "political football," as the parties argue over how to spend the multibillion-pound windfall it is expected to generate for the Exchequer.
£46 p/m for 20GB is stupid.
Do you think we'll ever get an unlimited data plan for 4G? If so, I could maybe see myself using it over a traditional fixed line connection as my line will never get upgraded. Only concern would be ping response timing.

FYI- I plan on bringing one each of 6, 8, 10, and 12wt rigs.I figure the 6 will be good if we get into ladyfish. The 8 is more likely a back-up. And the 10 & 12 will target jacks & tarpon (Lord willing). I'll also have a couple conventional combos in case the wind is bad. Definitely going to be loaded for bear.
That is rod only. Will need to procure fly reel and line.Joe
I do have a spare 12 wt sink tip. If Bob can get reel and backing he would be in business.Joe

An angel investor provides a succinct set of tips on how to pitch your company to investors. Key advice: project confidence and boil your pitch down to one or two sentences to establish a frawework for the audience.
In making their investment decisions, venture capitalists should bet on the product or process in a company over the management team, according to research from the University of Chicago School of Business. The researchers studied 49 venture-backed companies and found surprising stability of the firms' business models compared to management teams.
Entrepreneurs pursuing venture funding will find useful information in this article. Guy Kawasaki offers insight into the venture capitalist mindset. His Venture Capital Aptitude Test could be used by the entrepreneur as a list of qualities for which to seek in a venture capitalist partner.
Mohanjit Jolly, Managing Director of Garage Technology Ventures, moderates a discussion between five VCs and Angel investors. The panel addresses key issues related to the funding process, including valuation, business plans, funder presentations, and strategies for accessing VCs.
VCs increasingly are leaving the industry to become entrepreneurs, yet despite their experience with funding startups, many of them are realizing just how challenging it can be to launch a successful business. The insights gained in entrepreneurship, in turn, provide them with a perspective on what it means to be on the andquot;other sideandquot; of the funding table.
Matt McCall posts about Sequoia Capital and how this VC firm describes the elements of sustainability they seek within the ventures they fund, such as clarity of purpose, large markets with rich customers, and focus.
The process venture capitalists go through to decide which entrepreneurial ventures to fund can be something of a mystery. Chicago-based VC, Matt McCall, provides a description of the qualities he looks for in the CEOs he backs, including resourcefulness, relentless determination, and creative thought.
Issuing new equity shares of company stock has a direct impact on existing shareholders. Performing an equity dilution analysis can improve both financial decision-making and recruitment of new talent into the ranks of top management. A description process (including specific mathematical examples) are provided here.
When pitching a potential investor, it is important to understand not only what they want to hear, but more importantly what they don't. Avoid these typical mistakes that many entrepreneurs make when seeking funding from angels and venture capitalists.
Angel investors provide nearly $25 billion to more than 10,000 entrepreneurial firms each year. Increasingly, angels are banding together to combine resources, know-how, and prospecting efforts to identify solid investment opportunities. With the average group investing $400,000, this funding strategy can be a good alternative when personal assets have been tapped.

Even when economic times were good, regional airliners reconfigured for executive/VIP use were a bargain, offering a large-cabin equivalent of a Bombardier Global XRS or a Gulfstream G550 at a fifth of the cost.
Flying » Inside the Cabin
February 1, 2009
December 1, 2008
Some of the same folks who insist on bottled water in flight think nothing of dropping into it a couple of ice cubes plucked from the machine in the hotel hallway. The tendency is to assume that the ice is a solid form of potable water.
October 1, 2008
When it comes to that little cabin behind the cabin, better known as the aircraft lavatory, the average passenger cares far more about whether it works than how it works.
August 1, 2008
Customer expectations are the driving force in any aircraft interior design, and it seems the bigger the airplane, the greater the expectations. And there's no shortage of designers who can think as big as necessary.
July 1, 2008
Just a few years ago, customers had fewer options in outfitting their aircraft. But the consumerization of business aviation and technological innovations have resulted in a huge range of choices in furnishings and entertainment and communication equipment.
June 1, 2008
For technology lovers, today'sbusiness jet cabin is a wonderland, offering everything from moving-map displays with satellite photos to in-flight use of a BlackBerry. And every time you think you've seen it all, along comes another innovation-often for less money than you paid for the product it replaces.
June 1, 2008
Nothing says luxury like leather. That's the gospel according to business jet interior designers and many of their customers. As a seat covering, leather wraps the passenger in butter-soft comfort. On bulkheads and sidewalls, leather softens the shine of exotic wood veneers and polished metals. Instead of screaming "money," the cabin softly whispers "success."
June 1, 2008
Have you ever looked around a corporate jet and wished you had more room? Room perhaps to transport not only your closest advisers but also dozens of staff members, in a space the size of a large home? That's what private customers for Airbus' mammoth A380 will have.
April 1, 2008
The transition from office or home to the cabin of a private aircraft should be effortless and comfortable. With that in mind, designers and engineers continue to seek ways to make business jet cabins as plush and inviting as the environments you've come to appreciate on the ground.
December 1, 2007
There's no substitute for wood. Not faux finish, not photo-film, not plastic. Only wood brings to the aircraft cabin that special look and feel of organic elegance and old-world craftsmanship.
"Let me be straight with you. What I'd rather have is an airplane. We just had a third kid. I don't like flying commercial. I like to take my family to Hawaii. When I go east, I'd like to have pilots I know. "

PANAMA CITY— The Bay County Commission approved three of four appointments to the Bay Health Foundation on Tuesday, leaving a seat open that the commission would like to fill itself.
After voting on the appointments, the commission unanimously requested it be allowed to fill the empty seat.
Foundation member Frieda "Tink" Warren's reappointment was rejected. The commission approved Harold Bazzel, Dr. Frank Merritt and Andy Stein unanimously. Both Bazzel and Merritt are new to the foundation, and Stein is finishing his first four-year term.
Warrenwas up for her second term and was the first of the appointments to come before the commission. Chairman George Gainer asked for a motion that she be approved, but none of the commissioners made one, so her appointment never came to a vote.
Commissioner Mike Thomas said after the meeting he didn't want her on the foundation because of comments she made in The News Herald. In December, she said Bay Medical Center — now Bay Medical Center Sacred Heart Health System — was forced to go private because the commission wouldn't put a hospital tax up for a vote.
"Tax support wouldn't have saved the hospital, unless it was a huge amount," Thomas said.
The hospital's main problem was it received significantly less money on insurance reimbursements than other area hospitals, Thomas said.
"Us putting tax money in (Bay Medical Center) would not have helped that," he said.
The foundation, formerly the Bay Medical Center Board of Trustees, oversees BMC's employee pension fund, the hospital lease agreement and the disbursement of proceeds from the lease.
Thomas said he didn't think there would be any negative repercussions from the foundation for rejecting Warren's appointment. Foundation Chairman Don Connor said she was a popular member and it was "hard to say" if there would be bitterness over the commission's decision.
Connorsaid the foundation will decide on its next appointment at its Jan. 28 meeting. For his part, he gave lukewarm support for appointing a commissioner.
"I certainly wouldn't have a problem with that," he said.
After the meeting, Warren said it was the commission's "prerogative" to reject her but declined to comment further.
In the meeting, Thomas spoke out against the commission pushing for the open seat. He said it already had one appointment on the board, Chairman Don Connor, and he still has two years left on his term and by law the commission can't remove him.
"I don't think that we need two positions on the board, and we're asking for that," Thomas said.
He later said the commission requesting a second seat on the foundation is "us stepping where we don't have any business."
But commissioners Guy Tunnell and Bill Dozier pushed hard for the commission to ask for the seat.
"If we want to get someone on the board right away, I think we need to go ahead and make that request now," Tunnell said.
After the meeting, Tunnell was unsure if the commission's request would be successful.
"Your guess is as good as mine," he said.

ok i know it is religious sacrilege and total blasphemy to talk about using windows xp on neowin and most who talk this way are nailed and burnetalive on the neowin cross. but i'm curious if anyone was in two mind between windows 7 and windows xp and on the release of windows 8 have finally decided whether to be on xp or 7?
i've found going back to xp better since there were some sleep problems, graphics issues and slow network performance some bsods.. which resolve easily with xp. win7 requires some tweaks.
win8 had the same issues as win7 except it didnt allow system wide disabling of cleartype and additional ads and a half baked metro ui.
so question is when going back from win 8 whath did you prefer 7 or xp?

What tweaks was needed in windows 7 windows 7 works great out of the box and is far better then XP ever could be and as for windows 8 it is faster yet so i dont see what issue your having and why you want to go back to windows XP since well umm it is no longer really supported and is over 10 years old about now so yea

That's pretty generic hardware. From what you describe it sounds more like you are having some sort of hardware issue not caught by XP (and therefore a hidden problem waiting to jump you when you least expect it).

How are you going to use 8 GB of RAM with Windows XP?
