posted: 12.27.20121/8 Buggy Stackers - Now Available to Ship!
Stackers - Available in yellow, blue, green and black compounds
Part # - 3065
(fits 1/8th buggy wheel)
or order yours already pre-mounted and ready to run
Stackers - green compound - on your choice of white or yellow wheels - (pre-mounted)
(fits all 1/8th buggies)
Speed, longevity and consistency describe the winning fundamental elements of any 1/8th buggy race or driver characteristics. The Stackers tire by JConcepts is a culmination of successful DNA from the highly popular Hybrids and Crowbars tire tread patterns. The Stacker reveals a heavy center lug design which are supported at the lower base with extra rib features and tiny fillets which provide a heavy forward gripping force. Directional slashes cut into the tread soften the lugs to absorb bumps and also increase the lug flexibility to accommodate loose conditions.
The outer rows are a medium to hefty size lug with alternating positioning to drive forward and side-bite while the Stacked rows actively react with one another to lower the overall wear of the tire. The side-lugs are finished off with a hard angle to ease the transition from forward to side-bite while maintaining a linear feel without edginess in the turns. The Stacker inner ribbing features a repeated X-type ribbing which reduces the amount of tire expansion under power while still being soft and cushy for bumps and rutted sections. The Stackers include JConcepts Profiled "closed cell" inserts to finish off an extraordinary tire.
The Stackers in the hands of JConcepts / Team Associated driver Ryan Maifield have already TQ'ed the 2012 ROAR Off-Road Fuel Nationals in Oakland Mills, PA and took a quick 30 minute victory at the 2012 JConcepts Clash in Flowood, Mississippi. The Stackers are the real deal when it comes to extended main events and conditions which require speed and longevity.
• JConcepts Stacked / Hybrid type design
• Heavy center lug design for increased forward bite
• Ideal spacing for performance, traction and wear
• Super aggressive tread including stacked features
• Available in Medium (Yellow), Soft (Blue), Super Soft (Green), Mega Soft (Black) compounds
• Includes light-weight and durable profiled closed cell inserts

Now the bad news. The city has announced a change involving two other parking lots for the College World Series. Parking Lot A and the garage, which are just east of Qwest Center Omaha, will be pass/permit only parking. This will further limit the available spaces to the general public. (See map)
The change gives fans another reason to take advantage of the various shuttle services that are being offered.

A news release from the Sac County Sheriff's Office says 52-year-old Shirley Schmitt, of Early, was arrested Wednesday. She has since left jail.
The release says deputies found six malnourished horses on her property, which didn't have a working water supply for them.
The carcass of a dead horse also was found.
The horses were taken to a veterinary clinic for treatment. The release says Schmitt relinquished their ownership to Sac County, which is working with the Animal Rescue League to find adoptive homes.
A phone listed for Schmitt has been disconnected. Court records say Schmitt is representing herself.

Liverpool Biennial 2014: Sharon Lockhart at FACT
- 5 July — 26 October 2014 *on now
FACT and Liverpool Biennial are proud to present the first UK solo exhibition by artist Sharon Lockhart.
Known for creating film and photography portraying often overlooked subjects in everyday life, Lockhart's practice is underpinned by a commitment to immersing herself in new environments and building intimate relationships with people and places. Perhaps the most significant of these is her friendship with a young Polish girl Milena, who Lockhart first met whilst creating her film Pódworka (2009), which will be presented in FACT's Gallery 1. This film explores the courtyards of Łódź, Poland, and the children that inhabit them as their playgrounds. Nine years old at the time, Milena's character was immediately noticeable to Lockhart who appreciated her energy and strong will.
Since filming Pódworka, Lockhart and Milena have formed a friendship resulting in several projects that span several media. Two separate photographic projects will be presented in the exhibition as well as a text-based work and a new film commissioned by FACT, Liverpool Biennial and Kadist, San Francisco. These comprise Lockhart's latest collaboration with Milena, who is now fifteen years old and living in an orphanage near Warsaw.
The show is part of the 8th Biennial Exhibition A Needle Walks into a Haystack curated by Mai Abu ElDahab and Anthony Huberman. It will be accompanied by a series of films selected by the artist exploring themes of children's agency and selfhood.

In case you are not currently aware, Skepchick Rebecca Watson attended some conference recently and, when she finally went to bed after talking for hours, found herself in an elevator with a strange man who asked her if she would like to go to his room for coffee to talk some more. In her recent video she said "Guys: dont do this...".
The problem is she is not really clear what the problem is. Some people are saying all men are evil rapists. Some people are saying she is over reacting to what was an innocent proposition. Having read a few of other peoples comments I believe the main problem was that she was trapped in an enclosed space with a strange man who just propositioned her and she declined. So the proposition itself was not bad(personally I would consider it flattering), but the timing and location of the proposition put her in uncomfortable situation. I think if he had asked her the same question in a more open space, she would of felt more secure that her answer would be heeded. Like if he asked her the same question just as she got off the elevator rather than when they were alone in the elevator, it would of not been such a big deal because if she says no: the doors close and they both go on their merry way.
What do other people think? all men are evil-psycho-rapists? she over reacted? what this guy did is totally fine?

Post removed after gaining better insight to the OPs intentions ..
Thanks scarlett
Stephen, if you would like to repost what you originally posted(I assume it was an actual response to my post rather than a personal attack) I would greatly appreciate it. UsuallyScarlett is, I believe, referring to my previous posts regarding abortion and unwanted children in which I and Dustin were arguing against what we perceive to be an inequality between the sexes.
I can assure you I am not interested in "male activist mental masterbation game of catch the feminazi.". I am just seeking a discussion and, in a far broader sense, equality of all people in the eyes of the law.
Admit that you're not looking for an "answer" to this discussion.
I was looking for a discussion actually... alot of people seemed to be commenting that the guy did nothing wrong...some people suggested that women should never be propositioned in such a way at all.
You've made your point abundantly clear in two different places on this site already.
What point?
Oh, and by continuing to talk about it, you're helping to perpetuate this "huge controversy".
True but at least I am not bothering anyone actually involved in the incident, merely using it as a starting point for a discussion around acceptable male behaviour.
Your point that she was "only overreacting".
Did I say that? no. I said OTHER PEOPLE have said that.
You even state that, though perhaps unconsciously, in your opening question:
"What do other people think? all men are evil-psycho-rapists? she over reacted? what this guy did is totally fine?"
1. All men are evil-psycho-rapists
2. She over reacted
3. What this guy did is totally fine
The main question is "What do other people think?" The other questions are examples of what I have read from other people... I quite explicitly state my opinion in the large paragraph of my post. Did you read it or have I failed to articulate myself?
You don't phrase this in a way that conducive to the other side of the discussion
Admittedly I could of phrased it better and in future I will to do that.
you didn't, presumably because you don't find these other viewpoints valid
All viewpoints are valid in my opinion. I didn't, because I didn't find these other viewpoints represented heavily in other people's comments which I have read. It is possible I missed them. It is possible they don't exist. It is possible I took a sample too small to be truly representative of the full spectrum of comments.
from reading some of your other posts in which you've already made your case for this subject that does come across.
This is the first time I have even thought about this subject(that is, late night propositions from strange men in an enclosed space in which the person being propositioned might feel uncomfortable) so I fail to see how I could of "made my case for this subject".
You seem to allude that I have made a point and/or a case in the past yet you have not answered my direct question regarding such a point. Isn't one of the rules of law that a person should be able to know what they are accused of? Please, in no uncertain terms, tell me what you are accusing me of? I suspect it is some kind of bigotry or sexism from our previous discussions regarding abortion. I can't remember who I was replying to at the time but I said something along the lines of "Please point out where I have been sexist or bigoted and I will explain myself". To my knowledge, no one has come forward to point out anything. In any case, that comment stands for any and all of my posts. If I am being bigoted or sexist, PLEASE call me out on it. I do not wish to be bigoted or sexist, nor do I believe that I am.
I just don't see why you're bringing this up again.
I don't see what "this" is.
And finally, do you have an opinion regarding my original post? What did this guy do that made Rebecca feel uncomfortable? What could he of done better/different? What would you do if you were Rebecca? What would you do if you were in a similar position to the guy?
Usually Scarlett thinks she has more weight in the discussion because she is a female , but she doesn't realize that just isn't true. Not all women agree with her and I've read comments from at least one female that agrees that Rebeccas reaction was absurd and men should be able to make polite requests however they wish.
Why are you talking about Usually Scarlett in the third person?
Anyway, the nice thing about being human is that we are all different. Women are not a monolith. Our opinions vary and there are bound to be some who think Rebecca overreacted and some who think her reaction was just fine.
I happen to be one of the women who thinks Rebecca's reaction was appropriate for her. And while it is true that men should have the right to make polite requests however they wish, they need to be prepared for the possibility that their "request" may be misinterpreted by the receiver of their request.
Communication is a two way street. The onus isn't ALL on the receiver to make sure they are interpreting the person's words correctly. If the asker doesn't want to be misinterpreted then it is also their responsibility to make sure the request is asked in such a way that misinterpretation is minimized.
Then Rebecca had no business saying 'Guys , don't do that' , if women are not a monolith. Some would get creeped out , some would be flattered but still decline the offer and some would strip their clothes off and jump into bed with the guy before he get's to the end of the offer.
So what should the guy do? Say 'Oh , and by coffee , I realllllyyyyy just means spontaneous sex'
That wouldn't go over too well either... lol
Then Rebecca had no business saying 'Guys , don't do that'
I don't agree. I think she does have the right to say that. It's her opinion. It's my opinion too. I don't think guys should be doing that kind of thing because it is creepy and makes assumptions about the woman that probably have no basis in fact. Will every guy take that opinion to heart? No. Men are not a monolith either and I guarantee that some guy is in an elevator propositioning some woman.
Making assumptions about the woman? Nahhh , guys just want sex. They don't make assumptions about women when they offer to hang out or to get coffee. We don't think 'oh damn that's a sleeze , she'll be quick and ready to jump into bed with me!'
We think 'hey that female is interesting and attractive and I wish to invite her over ... and hopefully get some'
Getting some is our issue , it has nothing to do with assuming anything about the woman.

He plays a real consistent game, said Les Jackson, Dallas Stars Director of Player Personnel. Hes all-in. He has a passion to play and hes got ability. Thats a pretty good combination to advance.

Skandia signs up just 8% of platform clients to adviser charging
by Jun Merrett on Dec 12, 2012 at 08:14
Skandia has signed up just 8% of its platform clients for its adviser charging facility, which will launch on 18 December.
The Old Mutual-owned provider said 30,000 clients had signed up, after applications for the facility were opened in May.
A Skandia spokesman said: '[Opting for Skandia's adviser charging] is up to the IFAs. We think it's really encouraging that 30,000 have signed up when we haven't launched adviser charging yet; these are just pre-registered clients.'
Skandia announced in May that for its adviser charging model it would allow advisers to select monetary or percentage options for initial, ongoing, switching and ad hoc fees. It said it would set maximum fees of 4.5% for initial, 3% for switching and 1.5% ongoing.
Last month Old Mutual Wealth set out its intention to cut costs on the Skandia platform by half after it made a £5 million loss in the first half of 2012.
In an investor presentation the company said it was targeting a cut in platform expenses by around half from 57 basis points to 25-30.

I have 15 to send in later this week:)report this
Dec 12, 2012 at 09:03
Completed all of ours (220+) last month. I can't believe IFAs have been so lax for something this important...or can I? Perhaps this is a sign of advisers being scared of discussing fees with their clients?report this
Dec 12, 2012 at 09:17
For the 8% of clients it certainly is encouraging as their IFAs will have been proactive in discussing the post RDR world, gone through the options for paying fees, the ability to turn ongoing fees off and (hopefully) are receiving an ongoing service that they value.
Skandia have also met their own regulatory requirements to verify the clients agreement to these ongoing fees (there appears to be a lot of supposedly RDR ready platforms out there that haven't done this!).
For the other 92% this is perhaps not such an encouraging picture, are their IFAs trying to 'hang on' to ongoing trail by not providing ongoing reviews or are their IFAs too disorganised to have got this sorted out? Or, as Julian says above, are their IFAs not happy about actually discussing fees?
I wonder how many IFAs will get through teh first half of next year without whinging about 'trail being turned off'?report this
Dec 12, 2012 at 09:24
Having looked at the offerings of the platforms for unbundled charging, it seems to me that the client will pay more in charges than under the old bundled system. It therefore seems to me that in order to treat my clients fairly I should keep them on the lower cost arrangment until something occurs, such as a fund switch or further investment when they will have to move. Until then my clients are part of the 92%.report this
Dec 12, 2012 at 09:30
IFA's are likley waiting until the client's next review and will sign them up to adviser charging if they need to trigger an event that will stop the fund based renewal being paid.report this
Dec 12, 2012 at 09:36
Completing the Skandia Advance Adviser Charge form did NOT move clients from the current bundled to the new unbundled charging structure, thus there needn't have been ANY change to either the ongoing advice charge or total ongoing charge.report this
Dec 12, 2012 at 09:49
Or B, many advisers have legacy arrangements with Skandia but have no intention to keep on using them....report this
Dec 12, 2012 at 09:55
As I understood it the advance form doesn't activate the adviser charging authority until 31st December not the 18th when the the new system goes live.
Our forms won't be sent in until the end of this week (Over 200).
There are two things at play here, the first is bad planning on the part of many IFA's who understand adviser charging but haven't or won't do anything about it.
The second is more worrying and one that I witnessed first hand at a conference a week or so ago, and that is the utter lack of understanding by many IFA's about what adviser charging actually means to them and their businesses. I kid you not with less than 2 months to go there were IFA's asking if doing a bed and ISA in January would turn off their trail commission.........
I suspect theres going to be an awful lot of irate advisers on the phone to life offices in Q1 2013 claiming that they couldn't possibly have known that the transaction would turn off the trail commission.report this
Dec 12, 2012 at 10:38
If you've chosen the SIS platform to enable you to proactively manage your clients investments then can I suggest that you spend the next week or so getitng all of your clients to sign the Agreement as unless you do, the next fund switches you make (albeit individual or bulk) will stop your ongoing income.
If you haven't selected SIS for this reason then perhaps the clients should be moved somewhere else cheaper?
Also clients will retain the choice of bundled or unbundled, the SIS comparison tool on their website will help you and them decide. Which is cheaper depends on the amounts held on the platform.
@ Kev S
I couldn't agree with you more. It would seem that many advisers have chosen the camel's head in the sand approach. That's going to painful soon!report this
Dec 12, 2012 at 10:40
If you have not sent in the old forms by yesterday then you will have to get the new forms signed. I fear you may have wasted a considerable amount of time as they will not recognise the old forms now.
With regards to changing from 1 - 2 as Julian and others have said there is no effect on the client's current arrangements.
As for option 3, we will only know from when SIS releases the package that allows us to see if they should go to 3 or not. Therefore to make an assumption it is not in the clients interest is like looking into a black hole at present.report this
Dec 12, 2012 at 10:59
Why would any adviser continue to use a Platform that loses as much money as SIS. Surely if the adviser has carried out due diligence on the platform they would be moving their clients to a profitable, sustainable platform.report this
Dec 12, 2012 at 11:07
@ Philip
You're starting a whole other discussion there Philip.
If you're debating that then you need to consider the reason for 'losses' and understaand how much of those have been caused by reinvestment, such as significant platform amendments to make yourself one of the sustainable players post RDR.report this
Dec 12, 2012 at 11:08
Michael - it does not say anything on the form about a deadline - I know that Skandia started processing on onday but that is not the same.
My reading is that the forms needed to be with them in December.report this
Dec 12, 2012 at 11:08
I stand corrected and to all those who have commented thanks. Sadly I lost my Skandia consultant as he was made redundant, so have tried to work out what to do with reference to their website. Cofunds does seem so much more straightforward, but then they have been out on the road so I have had their system explained to me.
But I still don't understand what this has to do with adviser charging. My clients wil continue to pay me 0.5% the only difference is that instead of coming from the provider, they will actually pay it themselves from their cash account.
And in the expectation of being shot down, why does it make any difference when the form is sent in?report this
Dec 12, 2012 at 11:15
@ Robert & CD
You are both correct in that the adviser charging does not take effect until 1st January, HOWEVER, the 10th December was the cut off date to guarantee that the form would be processed in time for 1st January (there a few holidays coming up you know!)report this
Dec 12, 2012 at 11:17
Unfortunately we were informed that these forms had to be with them by the 18 or are useless.
If you go onto the website you will be able to find the new forms.
I do hope that you can create a fuss and get the old forms accepted.
Yes, If they do not get the forms when you nexty rebalance etc you will lose your trailreport this
Dec 12, 2012 at 11:22
I think you should watch the webnar broadcast last week (on Friday) as that explains a lot that is being discussed here.
In a nutshell, SIS do not operate a cash account, if you're used to fund based COMMISSION then this will stop after your next switch post 18/12/12. Also FB is variable as it varies from fund to fund. By changing to adviser charging you will get a fixed payment based upon what you've agreed with your clients, if that's 0.5% then you don't need to worry what funds you pick, you will always get paid 0.5%. SIS deducts the charge as an explicit amount and any fund based commission due is refunded to the clients investment in the form of units.report this
Dec 12, 2012 at 11:37
Thanks Julian I will go and watch the webinar. Thank goodness most of my clients are on Cofunds!report this
Dec 12, 2012 at 11:40
The form will switch on Adviser charging , but the plan still remain in the existing charging structure £68.50 fee
If Top ups are made then the plan will have to be moved into the unbundled charging structurereport this
Dec 12, 2012 at 12:25

Will Skandia still be around in two years time!
There are going to be winners and losers both throughtout the advisory community and in the life assurance industry. If skandia has not been able to make a profit over the last year with the legacy assets will they make a profit going forward.
If they don't then Old Mutual; could easily sell them off. Whilst I hate to be doom and gloom merchant the industry is going to go through such that it is hard to pick any company which will be left standing.report this

I am a big Skandia fan - they helped turn my own business from an "also ran" to a very successful and profitable one. The guy that provided the help and support has now accepted the redundancy and left and his enthusiasm will be missed.
I met with their MD, Peter Mann a few weeks ago, and it struck me how much interference they are getting from OM in South Africa. There have been rumours circulating about the viability of SIS in recent weeks, i guess mainly started by their competitors.
• Will they take on their own advisory team (International Adviser on 29 November for one) and poach IFA clients - sorry, assist ex IFA clients who find themselves without an adviser. My now ex Skandia Investment Solutions Consultant says that while Peter Mann is around, they won't but he's only likely to be around for another 3 years, and then who knows?
• They are haemorrhaging cash at the mo – there's no way they can survive on that new charging structure and stay afloat without the rebates they were receiving.
• They're not interested in being a big player for IFAs. They see themselves as a big player in the Restricted market and not competing with Wraps for IFAs, hence the push on OM funds and the new series of "managed solution" funds and the reported focus on selling these funds on price.
I'm not sure of the validity of these claims, but I know Skandia people read these pages and indeed join in using pseudonyms - what's really going on.report this
Dec 16, 2012 at 17:01
I think you can do top ups post RDR to the bundled charging structure and retain it, I.e on the £68.50 pa charge. It's just you'd need to agree any adviser charge (initial or ongoing) for that slice.
Got all of my adviser charging forms in last month so ready to face next year... I for one have invested a lot of time and effort in going with Skandia/OM so hope they come good and prove the naysayers wrong.report this
Dec 16, 2012 at 17:12
THis is incorrect @CardiffJock.
If client is in original Commission version (SIS1) and they top up, the top up will go to SIS3, being unbundled and the commission on SIS1 will stop. If they have moved to adviser charging (ie SIS2) existing investments can stay on SIS2 and retain the Platform fee, but the new investment will go to SIS3. You should be able to run comparisons to see if existing monies would be better on SIS1 or 2, or move to unbundled SIS3.
My view is that until they introduce family discounts in the 2nd quarter, most clients will be better where they are.
Simples!!report this
Dec 17, 2012 at 09:47
SJH - whilst your analysis may be 'simples' it is also incorrect!
The correct situation is as follows:
SIS1 is commission based - thus pays trail commission. For ISAs and CIAs, the first advice event post 18th December (skandia are ahead of the curve) will turn off the trail, but Skandia will (with the client's written authorisation) convert this to SIS2 which is still bundled and still has the £68.50 fee to facilitate adviser charging.
Top-ups CAN be made under SIS2, for those clients who had that specific tax wrapper pre 18th December (i..e it wouldn't be a top-up otherwise).
Alternatively, if it is in the client's interest, the top-up and existing holdings can be converted to SIS3, the unbundled charging structure.
All new business, after 18th December (defined as either a new client or a new tax wrapper for an existing client) will be written on SIS3.
Hope this clarifies matters, but if you need more information, the link is:

Exactly right. As all my clients' accounts will be on SIS2 I can top up existing accounts on £68.50 basis.
This is attractive to me as a fair chunk on my clients' funds are in passives.
Does go to show that there's a fair bit of confusion out there!report this

You can indeed, however nomintaed trail is still classed as commission - check your terms of business with Skandia.
You can, of course, switch this to adviser charge of up to 1.5% if your client signs the Adviser Charge form.

DurHAM — At the end of the first half against North Carolina, Tyler Thornton was asked to do something he had never done before.
Play the 4 forward position.
Thornton, who stands 6-foot-1, held his own in No. 2 Dukes 73-68 win over the Tar Heels.
The hero of the game for us was Thornton, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said afterwards. He would not let us lose.
Thornton has long been Dukes sixth man and utility man. In practice, he fills in for Seth Curry, whose nagging right shin injury limits him to mainly walkthroughs and light defense. In games, he is the best on-ball defender, can play all three guard positions, and apparently knows the defense well enough to even play the 4, which has been filled on a committee basis since Ryan Kellys right foot injury.
With just over three minutes remaining in the first half, as Duke trailed 31-25, Krzyzewski opted to sub out Amile Jefferson and put in Curry. The lineup was 6-10 Mason Plumlee and then a quartet of guards Curry, Thornton, Quinn Cook and Rasheed Sulaimon none of whom are taller than 6-4. At the same time, the Tar Heels had four players who measured at least 6-5 on the floor: P.J. Hairston, James Michael McAdoo, Leslie McDonald and Reggie Bullock.
The group didnt lose any ground, as Jefferson returned about two minutes later with the Blue Devils trailing by four.
Early in the second half, Krzyzewski again went to the four-guard look, a lineup configuration the Blue Devils have rarely used this year. Instead of Plumlee, who had three fouls, in the low post, it was 6-8 Josh Hairston with the same four guards, as Thornton came in for Jefferson.
He knows the game and he knows every position, he can tell guys what to do and they will listen because he is one of our leaders, so yeah he pays attention, Krzyzewski said of Thornton, adding that he will make a great coach someday. He has earned his scholarship tonight.
Within a minute of taking the floor, Thronton grabbed an offensive rebound and then drained a 3-pointer, his second make of the game beyond the arc (meanwhile, the rest of the Blue Devils were a combined 0-for-5). That made it a one-possession game at 38-35 and sparked a 15-5 run that gave Duke the lead it would not relinquish.
The taller and longer UNC players never did drive by the small, scrappy Blue Devils guards, settling for jump shots instead. Starting with Thorntons 3-pointer, Duke hit 8 of its next 10 shots, including another Thornton 3. In the same time frame, the Tar Heels went 3-for-7 from the field, the beginning of a 3-for-12 slump.
In my opinion, it is not a matchup problem, Williams said how his team matched up with Dukes four guards. Their guys made big plays.
Every entry in Thorntons stat line was a big play. His three 3s all came at critical moments, his two offensive rebounds led directly to five Duke points, nearly half of the Blue Devils second-chance points (12), and, in a game where Duke was more turnover-prone than normal, Thornton committed just one.
Even his 3-point miss was big, as it came late in the game with one second left on the shot clock. The prayer grazed the rim, and Reggie Bullock fouled Sulaimon on the rebound with 37 seconds remaining. When the freshman made both free throws, Duke was up 67-61, essentially sealing the game.
Thronton brings one other element to the Blue Devils: anger. Sometimes, it boils over, like when he fouled N.C. States Scott Wood on a 3-point shot and was whistled for a technical as he threw Wood an elbow in response to a verbal jab. But on Wednesday night, that emotion fueled Duke through a lackluster start and off night from Plumlee.
Sometimes his toughness gets the best of him, you know, I like him because he can get angry, Krzyzewski said of Thornton. I dont think players get angry like they used to, and that comes easy for me. But I think anger is an emotion that gets you passed being tired and gets you past a lot of things.
Against the Tar Heels, that anger helped get Duke the win.

Fisker Appoints New CEO, Eliminates Battery/Engine Compartment as Causes for Fire

Fisker's new CEO Tony Posawatz
(Source: media.gm.com)
Tony Posawatz is replacing Tom LaSorda after only six months as Fisker CEO
After only six months of service and a laundry list of troubles, Fisker Automotive's CEO has been booted from his position.
Tom LaSorda, who was named CEO of Fisker back in February 2012 when founder Henrik Fisker stepped down, is leaving the company, but will still be an adviser. He is being replaced by Tony Posawatz, who was the former head of
Chevrolet Volt
production for General Motors.
Posawatz has 30 years of experience at General Motors, and was a large part of bringing the Volt from concept to production.
"We are delighted to be adding an executive of Tony's caliber to the Fisker Automotive leadership team," said Fisker. "His depth of knowledge and experience in this innovative field of new technology means that he is one of the world's most experienced leaders in vehicle electrification technology and the plug-in ecosystem. In the long-term, he will ensure that Fisker is well positioned to maximize the potential of not only
the Karma sedan
, but also bring the Fisker Atlantic smoothly to market."
Just last week,
Fisker had its second incident where a Karma plug-in caught fire
while in the possession of a customer. The first occurred only four months sooner in a customer's garage in Houston, causing a house fire.
Last week's incident happened in a Woodside, California grocery store parking lot while the customer was inside shopping. When he came outside, his Karma was on fire and had to be put out by the Woodside Fire Department. There was considerable damage to the vehicle.
There are many speculations as to how the fire started, such as issues with
the lithium ion battery
(which the company had to recall in December 2011) and the "crowded" engine compartment/exhaust routing method.
Fisker recently confirmed that none of these rumors are true. The automaker has started investigating the cause of the Woodside fire, and while there is no set conclusion yet, it has ruled out those possible sources.
"The area of origin for the fire was determined to be outside the engine compartment," said Fisker in a statement. "There was no damage to the passenger compartment and there were no injuries.
"Continued investigative efforts will be primarily focused within the specific area of origin, located forward on the driver's side front tire. Further details will be announced after a full report is completed."
In addition to Karma-related issues, Fisker has had troubles with its Atlantic hybrid, which
may have to be built outside of the United States
because of its lack of access to government funds.
In April 2010, California-based Fisker Automotive received a total of $529 million from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for clean vehicles, but in May 2011, DOE froze its loans after
delivery of the Karma plug-in was delayed and ended up falling behind schedule. DOE said Fisker did not meet the milestones previously promised, and since then, Fisker has not been able to access the DOE loans.
The loans were also meant to revamp a closed General Motors plant in Wilmington, Delaware for Fisker auto production. So far, Fisker has drawn down $193 million from its loans, but there's a chance that the company may never see the rest of it.
In February 2012, Fisker was forced to
lay off 26 factory workers at the Delaware plant
In addition to the CEO shake-up, Fisker appointed Joe Chao to executive vice president and CEO of Fisker China and Asia. Also, Alberto Gonzalez was named vice president of Manufacturing.

RE: Fresh, New, Different
Just to bring you up to date, Reclaimer77, the U.S. is now importing MORE oil from Saudi Arabia and the middle east:
The United States is increasing its dependence on oil from Saudi Arabia, raising its imports from the kingdom by more than 20 percent this year, even as fears of military conflict in the tinderbox Persian Gulf region grow.
"At a time when there is a rising chance of either a nuclear Iran or an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, we should be trying to reduce our reliance on oil going through the Strait of Hormuz and not increasing it," said Michael Makovsky, a former Defense Department official who worked on Middle East issues in the George W. Bush administration.
I'm surprised at the number of people like "Reclaimer77" and "freedom4556" who CHOOSE to use imported oil for their transportation when they could instead use U.S.-made electricity.
They CHOOSE to support the Saudis and Hugo Chavez instead of buying American electricity for their cars. Why???

Ellen Brown: Despite the Dodd-Frank Act, the derivatives pyramid has continued to explode to a notional value now estimated to be as high as $2 quadrillion.
The increased availability and decreased price of natural gas will likely lead to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions.
Monsanto's herbicide Roundup, with glyphosate as the primary ingredient, has recently been linked to a fatal kidney disease epidemic ravaging parts of Central America, India and Sri Lanka. A leading theory hypothesizes that complexes of glyphosate and heavy metals poison the kidney tubules. El Salvador and Sri Lanka have adopted the precautionary principle and taken action to ban the herbicide. In the United States, glyphosate is coming up for review by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in late 2014. Monsanto claims a low risk to human health, but the research is showing something very different. Will these health concerns be enough for the EPA to put restrictions on the herbicide - or to ban it altogether?
Thus far, Monsanto has been successful in portraying Roundup as a safe and effective herbicide.
In early July, Mallory Loyola, 26, was charged with assault after her newborn girl tested positive for meth. Loyola is the first woman in the state to be arrested under a new Tennessee law that "allows the state to criminally charge mothers for the illegal use of a narcotic drug while pregnant," if their children are harmed or addicted to the drug. Many medical experts and reproductive rights advocates warn that this kind of legislation is detrimental to women and worry that similar legislation will be passed in other states.
The bloated financial sector in the United States is a major engine of inequality sucking money away from poor and middle income households and making folks like Lloyd Blankfein, Jamie Dimon, and Robert Rubin incredibly rich. There are many who want the government to play a role in reducing inequality. That might be a desirable goal. However a higher priority would be to have the government stop playing a role in increasing inequality as it does with its support for the financial industry.

Help Our Community Answer Your Questions Better By Including In Your Post: Gender, Have You Been Tested For An STD Yet?
Type Of STD Tests and Results? Any Medications To Control Your STD?
She needs to know that she can transmit this when she ahs no ob.s through shedding.
Here is the odds of her trasnmitting it to someone else.
Female to Male Transmission for HSV 2
The odds of you getting GHSV 2 is as follows. If the two of you avoid sex when she has an ob then the chances of you getting it is 4%. If she takes suppressive therapy then it drops to 2% and if you use condoms then it go's to 1%. The details are from the Valtrex clinical trials study.
I would urge you to have both of you read the items found in my signature line below. I think that Terri Warren's book would be really helpful for her and for you to both get educated. You can even now buy it as an e-book.
I would also recommend that if you are in a large center google Herpes support groups on Yahoo and she could get a lot of info from a support group.
If you have any further ? just ask and we will try and help you as best as possible. Get her some "domaplasty" the blue can NOT the red can. This is a freezing she can use to make her feel better down yonder.
God Bless both ot you as you support her in going throught this in her life.
If she is still at home get her to take baths with Epsom Saltss and let it soak for a while in the tubby. If she can walk around the hous without any underwearr on and let the air get at the area down yonder that will help to keep it dry down yonder. Just have her wear a big old T shirt while at home.
For you gals it can be hard to keep things dry down yonder and so when she had an ob or is feeling one coming on then get her to use corn starch on the genital area and take some with her where ever she goes and apply it liberally to the area as well she can place some in her underwear as well as the drier it is down yonder the less severe the ob if things are kept dry. Corn starch acts as a drying agent.
I also want her to have hope for the future. There many discordant couples who have been that way for years. A discordant couple is one where one person has GH and the other does not. I also want her to know that she can have a healthy love life with the right person who will love her for who she is and not what she has.
How was she diagnosed wth GH and what is her Doc R/x giving her to treat the herpes?
I want her to know that God loves her even though she has screwed up. We all have sccrewed up on this site at some time other wise we would not be on this site.
If she has any further questions get her to ask so we can help her.
Valcyclovir is the generic of Valrtex and is a bit more expensive than Acyclovir but one only has to take it once a day instead of twice a day with acyclovir. If you have a drug plan than it should be covered. Dosages are in the Herpes Handbook so you can tell the Doc if he is not R/x the right dosage of either.
The one other thing I wanted to tell her that this may not be important now as she is young and should have lots of lube when being sexually active but if she ever hits dry spot in her life where she is not well lubed then she should consider getting a good lube to use when having sex as herpes is spread easier when there is "heat and friction." As you well know that one always has heat during sex down yonder but she needs to know that she can stop the friction by using a good lube. She may not need to know this right now but is something you can tell her when it is appropriate for her to know.
I am glad that you went back to church and I do hope that your are attending a Bible based church that teaches about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
It may be good to get her to start her own post and if she would not becomfortable to post here then there are plenty of sites like this one and I would recommend that she look for a gal by the name of Betsy 1967 and tell her that Abe sent her.

Entertainment behind the scenes
Actor Vince Vaughn has studios laughing to the bank
Comedian Vince Vaughn has topped a list of Hollywood stars giving studios the best returns on their investments. In an "Entertainment All Stars Special Issue", Forbes magazine has looked at which actors provide the best payback and Vaughn was No. 1, with his films earning $14.73 for every dollar he was paid. Why? Well, until recently he wasn't paid the mega-bucks of other Hollywood stars and the films he starred in, like "Wedding Crashers" and "The Break-Up," had modest budgets but good box office returns.
A-listers Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and George Clooney also looked good in the list because of their work in "Ocean's Twelve" and "Ocean's Thirteen", as they all took pay cuts to appear in the heist movies.
Forbes said it compiled the list by looking at a star's last three films that opened wide before Jan.1 2008 and were made in the past five years — and were not animated. It then took half of each film's box office income and added the first three months of wholesale DVD revenues, subtracted the budget, and used the star's gross income to work out payback.
Here is a list of the top payback stars:
1. Vince Vaughn – $14.73 2. Tobey Maguire – $13.44

An Ottumwa teenager has reached a plea bargain in his case which has included charges of sexual abuse, harboring a runaway and interference with the judicial process.
At his pretrial conference on Monday, Keith Lane Davis-Sauer, 19, of rural Ottumwa, withdrew his plea of not guilty and entered a plea of guilty to third-degree sexual abuse from an incident on Nov. 24 involving a 12- to 13-year-old victim.
Third-degree sexual abuse, a Class C felony, is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
Since Davis-Sauer pleaded guilty to one of the five charges against him, he reached a plea bargain of 10 years in prison, with the four other charges dismissed. His sentencing will take place April 1.
The state said that the other charge of third-degree sexual abuse against Davis-Sauer (which allegedly took place on Dec. 24), "will be dismissed upon expiration of appeal period in this case."
Davis-Sauer was also charged with harboring a runaway child on Jan. 4 after law enforcement found him and a runaway 13-year-old Salem girl in Kansas City, Mo.
The state agreed that this charge will also be dismissed "at defendant's cost."
This month, he was also charged with suborning perjury (persuading someone to lie under oath) and tampering with witnesses or jurors. The state agreed that these charges will also be dismissed at defendant's cost.
Davis-Sauer also withdrew his Feb. 8 request to have Djalal Arbabha replaced as his attorney.

Review: Linutop
Thankyou for mentioning the $119 option :)
We are a volunteer group setting up Edubuntu systems in schools for free & the $119 system you compared the linutop with seems a lot better choice for us!
If only I could get the LTSP Term 1000 PXE shipped at a cheaper rate I would have already ordered one to try it out. Wonder why UPS has to charge more than what the damned computer costs!!! $128 to send it to India? That when the consignment costs only $119.95?
But yeah, even with such a high shipment cost, its less than half of what the linutop costs along with the shipment fees - 340 euros or around $500!!!
- Prem
Glad to Help!
I'd contact the folks at disklessworkstations.com -- I've met Ron, and emailed Jim before. They're both really helpful. Perhaps they can figure something out about shipping, especially if you want more than one. :)
(No guarantees, but it's worth emailing them to find out if a better shipping price is possible)

Made in France and under the VAT
I think that the reason it is costly is the fact that the Value Added Tax (VAT) has to be paid during the construction but not on the final item. It also only comes with the european style power plug so you would have to buy a new one just to get it up and running.
I doubt that it is suitable
I doubt that it is suitable for factory use. Whilst the fully enclosed case my be ideal, those USB ports are not. Lacking covers, they will attract dusk particles that could lead to shorting of the 5V track to one of the data track, or even ground. For factory use, unused USB port need to be sealed off.
Also, booting from a USB stick may sound cool but in a factory environment, things that stick out from other things tend to get broken off.
For factory use you need either an internal boot drive (which could be a USB stick), or it needs to sit away from the factory floor in a side office.
Went to the site, looked at the specs and...
Well, compared to the $119 thin client you mentioned, this one's CPU is twice as fast (~400MHz Vs 200MHz), it has twice the memory (256MB Vs 128MB), and the USB ports are also improved (4*USBv2.0 Vs 3*USBv1.1+CF-reader).
Being a device that doesn't have very much bullet points to compare with I think it's overall a better device than the other one and the price difference can be justified if you are a business and need a device with this kind of form factor.
But for someone to tinker with the device at home it's clearly not such a big deal, even more if we keep in mind that the Asus Eee or the XO OLPC are just more or less about the same $400 and both come with more RAM than the Linutop, actual storage space, keyboard and screen.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Night Under FireThe Night Under Fire is full of rich tradition, from bone rattling fuel funny cars to Bob Motz performing his famous fiery burnout show, concluding with a spectacular fire works show you can only see here!
You've gotta be here... August 9 2014!
If you haven't seen our signature $100,000 Fireworks show,
Fireworks Fire-Up Fans at Summit Motorsports Park
Among the longstanding traditions at Summit Motorsports Park are the explosive and encompassing fireworks offered as part of Cavalcade of Stars, Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals, Blue Suede Cruise and Night Under Fire.
The latter event offers the most colossal conglomerate of colors, and the anticipation to experience it builds months in advance and escalates as fans file into the stands as darkness descends upon the park. Just after flames fly from the exhaust pipes of John Force's Funny Car and the after-burners of Bob Motz's jet-powered truck, fireworks are ignited from multiple locations for improved impact, and in red, white, blue and other colors, they dance to carefully-choreographed patriotic music that is both inspired and inspiring.
Designed to be dramatic as well as delightful, they're known to be far grander than those of neighboring cities, and just when it appears that the last of them has been seen, heard and felt, gasbombs reverberate throughout the facility, leaving fans flabbergasted.
The nearly fifteen minute spectacle costs $100,000 to produce and leaves no wonder as to why it's now famed and fabled.
What is Night Under Fire?
Ron Capps
Antron Brown
Four Nitro funny cars (John Force, Ron Capps, Cruz Pedregon and Dale Creasy Jr) & two fuel dragsters (Antron Brown & Brittany Force) and two fuel Harleys (Tommy Grimes & Bob Malloy)

Four flame tHrowing jets (Canuso "Queen of Diamonds", Holdridge, Bogue and Pereira)!
Bob Motz's JeT Kenworth burning down the sign.
Tommy Grimes
Bob Malloy
The event where the Unexpected will happen!
Nighttime header flames!
Fuel cars that sound like thundDer, making your bones rattle!
Darn near a Religious Experience!

You must meet a feat's prerequisites, if any, to select the feat. If you ever lose a prerequisite for a feat (for example, you use the retraining rules to replace training in a required skill with training in a different skill), you can't use that feat until you meet the prerequisites again. A feat that has a class as a prerequisite is available either to characters of that class or to characters who have chosen a multiclass feat associated with that class.

Championship on the line
- Last Updated on 08:15 AM 07/10/13
- BY Doug Ford
South Boston National won close games against Scottsburg in consecutive nights to advance to the Dixie Youth Baseball District 2 O-Zone Tournament championship game.
Facing elimination after an opening night loss to South Boston American, National scored five runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to rally from behind to a 7-6 win over Scottsburg on Sunday.
A winner-take-all contest Monday night saw National break open a close game in the third inning with a grand slam home run by Troy Ferrell on the way to a 9-5 win over Scottsburg.
Scottsburg had beaten South Boston American on Saturday, and all three teams had one loss after the National win over Scottsburg the next night, with American drawing a bye into Tuesday's championship game.
SoBo National 9 Scottsburg 5
Hunter Owens and Michael Hudson slugged home runs for Scottsburg, but Troy Ferrell had a pair for South Boston National in a 9-5 win on Monday that eliminated Scottsburg.
A back-and-forth game saw Scottsburg take a 1-0 lead after Owens' homer to start the game, followed by Ferrell's two-run homer in the bottom of the first.
Hudson's solo home run in the second tied the game for Scottsburg, but National retook the lead in the bottom of the frame on a walk to Dane Dickerson, who stole second and scored on Brandon Davis' RBI single.
Walks to Will Abdi and Dillon Davis preceded a single by J.D. Powell and a grand slam homer by Ferrell gave National a 7-2 lead after three innings, but Scottsburg rallied with two runs in the top of the fourth on a walk to Jeffrey Cates, RBI single by Shaun Perkins, walk to Colt LaRue and a RBI single by Sam Clark.
National added a run in the fourth on a two-out single by Devyn Moran and a pair of Scottsburg miscues, and Scottsburg plated a run in the top of the fifth on a single by Hudson and an RBI groundout by Cates.
National plated its final run in the fifth on a single by Zack Lowery and a RBI base hit by Austin Carlson.
National used four pitchers in the game, with Lowery hurling the first inning, Dillon Davis the second and third innings.
Moran relieved Davis in the fourth inning, and Ferrell hurled the last two innings.
South Boston pitchers combined to strike out seven batters.
K'Von Scott started the game on the mound for Scottsburg with Owens relieving him in the first inning and pitching until Troy LaRue came to the mound in the fourth inning to finish the game.
Scottsburg pitchers struck out four South Boston batters.
SoBo National 7 Scottsburg 6
A five-run rally in the bottom of the fifth inning gave National a come-from-behind win over Scottsburg on Sunday.
Scottsburg took a 3-2 lead after one inning, with the Scottsburg runs coming when Owens drew a walk, Cates reached on a fielder's choice and Perkins singled ahead of RBI hits from LaRue, Sam Clark and Blake Duffer.
National plated its runs on a leadoff single by Dillon Davis and a two-run homer by Lowery, but Scottsburg added a run in the third on a solo home run by Cates.
Scottsburg plated two more runs in the top of the fifth to grab a 6-2 lead after a single by C.J. Miller, RBI single by Owens and RBI groundout by Cates.
National scored five runs in the bottom of the fifth inning which stood up for the win, with Brandon Davis and Ali Ferrell drawing walks to start the rally.
Dillon Davis hit an RBI single before Troy Ferrell hit a home run to pull National to within one run.
Lowery drew a walk, Carlson slugged an RBI double and Dickerson hit an RBI single to complete the rally.
Scottsburg had one other hit for the game, a second inning single by Ryan Corona, while National also had one other hit, a fourth inning single by Dickerson.
Powell hurled the first four innings for National and finished with three strikeouts, and Ferrell relieved for the final two innings, striking out the side in the sixth inning.
Perkins pitched the first four innings for Scottsburg and struck out five South Boston batters, and Cates and Scott came to the mound to pitch the fifth inning, with Scott striking out one batter.

I've arrived at my friend Laura's - the coffee is brewed, there are blankets and pillows aplenty and the cats have sniffed over my bags and shoes. I have a stack of books set aside and there is beautiful instrumental music playing in the background. As I type, Laura is on the couch reading a book about the Thames River in England and I'm looking longingly at the overstuffed red La-Z-Boy chair that's waiting for me to curl up and crack open the first book on the pile.
Speaking of the first book, I'm beginning by continuing my reading of Diana Gabaldon's "Voyager." I'm sure I'll need a break from it at some point during the day and afternoon, so I have others at the ready. I'll also be checking in periodically here to update and blog about my second-ever read-a-thon. (And because Laura has a Mac book and it's just fun to type on - I like the way the keys click and clack as I type. I'm a nerd, I know. Don't act so surprised!)
A quick side note before I take my leave to begin: over 30 responses to my political post the other day! I'm blown away. I want to say a general thank you for the comments and opinions, all of which have thus far been very respectfully given and I am very thankful for that. I will be reviewing more of the comments tomorrow and respond. I just wanted to say thanks for the comments, thanks for reading and Happy Saturday!

Tony-Winning Musical Titanic Will Get Avery Fisher Hall Concert
By Adam Hetrick
Maury Yeston and Peter Stone's Tony Award-winning musical Titanic will receive a lavish concert staging at Avery Fisher Hall in 2014.
Manhattan Concert Productions, which presented the starry concert of the Tony-winning musical Ragtime last winter, will return to Lincoln Center for the Feb. 17, 2014, concert presentation of Titanic.
Similar to Ragtime, MCP's concert of Titanic promises a cast of Broadway performers and singers from around the country. According to MCP, "This concert performance will feature a star-studded cast with over one hundred singers from around the country, a host of professional members from the Broadway community, and the full forces of the New York City Chamber Orchestra." David Loud will serve as music supervisor.
Casting has not been announced. Tickets will go on sale in September.
The musical has a Tony-winning score by Yeston (Grand Hotel, Nine) and a Tony-winning book by the late Stone (The Will Rogers Follies, 1776). Titanic won 1997 Tony Awards for Best Book of a Musical (Stone), Best Musical, Best Orchestrations (Jonathan Tunick), Best Score (Yeston) and Best Scenic Design (Stewart Laing).

Petersburg City Manager Stephen Giesbrecht summarized the activities taking place for the city during the Petersburg City Council Meeting Monday, July 2.
The Corps of Engineers opened up the bid period for the North Harbor Dredge Project Friday, June 22 with bids due by Tuesday, July 24 at 2 p.m.
"The bid will be awarded by the end of August in order to satisfy federal funding regulations," Giesbrecht said. "We have a tentative start date of August 2013."
The contractor for the Mountain View Manor roof replacement has submitted material specifications and they have been approved. "The materials are on order," Giesbrecht said. "We are just waiting for a construction schedule, but we hope to have the project finished by fall."
Work crews from Alaska Energy are in Petersburg working on the weatherization improvements at the Harbor office. "The City shop and Scow Bay fire hall are also on the list for improvements," Giesbrecht said.
Giesbrecht also stated that the Alaska Department of Transportation will open bids soon for the road improvement project. The City is working to confirm the additional $1.1 million in funding for the project.
Evaluation of the Rasmus Enge Bridge is completed. "The engineer is currently evaluating the permit requirements for creosote piling installation," Giesbrecht said.
Pipes are in place for the water and sewer upgrade project. "Now that we have the pipes in, all that is left is the paving," Giesbrecht said. "I don't have a definitive start date, but the paving should begin soon."
Giesbrecht explained he is in the process of working with city staff, the Petersburg Chamber of Commerce and the Branding Committee to integrate the information from the branding study into the visitor's guide, city website and other pertinent areas.
