That is odd?
Is it a difference like 1 mpg- 51mpg vs 52mpg or more?
I wonder why??
Could it have anything to do with the soot filter?
I know the trucks-and guess the cars- have particle filters that REQUIRE raw fuel be spewed into the exhaust-onto the filter-to get the soot hot enough to completely burn away
When first instituted on the trucks in 2007-there was lots of bitching about lost FE??
Now maybe maybe these little turbos produce less soot at 70 mph than 60 mph-so they don't have to waste fuel heating up the soot so it will burn away??
Well-that is my best and only guess??
Is Your wife is just reading the NAV systems mpg now-not doing the calculations at fillips?
Are GMs nav mpg indicators "honest" ? Some are dead on-Prius sure isn't
our Prius consistently LIES- shows at least 2-3 mpg better than calculated-yeah-for 78,000 miles-always 2-3 mpg more than actual-can't possibly be by accident!!(gets great mpg but I would prefer the truth)1998 suburban-
1/2 ton
199500 miles
Not sure whats behind the mpg doing better at speed, I suspect after reading a few things its got to do with the final gearing. The difference has been as much as 6 mpg.
All her calculations are by hand and notes, shes keeping a trip log with mileage, fuel qtys, prices, drive times, etc. Not sure why she started it for this trip.
I think its got something to do with her mom insisting on paying for half the trip expenses, her moms a retired CPA and counts down to the penny.
The Nav in my truck (2011) and her HHR (2008) are very close but not perfect, if you do the math by hand its usually slightly skewed to show better mileage, normally only 1-2 mpg difference.

Great she does it old school.
Right those bean counters-big on precision.
So in general GM navs only 1-2 mpg off-my prius 2-4 mpg too generous-everytime-so it is set designed to do that-no accident
Sometimes 6 mpg better at say 70 than maybe 60?? Wow-that is odd-??
My best guess would be something to do with those pollution controls- but that doesn't really make too much sense-since I think the particle filter cleaning burning is sorta on off-not constant-so you wouldn't get the instant differences like you get
I will pass this on to the mpg forum
PS HOT near DFW where you are?? Yeah it was hell on earth hot when we last went thru DFW- mid july 2008-over 100 degrees for a 200 mile swath-shreveport to Denton or so
Never would have guessed DFW hotter than NOLA- but it is-terrible place in the summer!!
The wife says the car cruises much better in the 70's, doesnt sound like its lugging, the trans in this car from my understanding has a very good gear spread so it doesnt shift back and forth a lot.
DFW temps were high 90's last week ending the week with 2 days over 100, temps dropped to mid 90's for the wknd and projected for next week.
Summer time we normally have temps around 100, just less humidity than Nola.
I have been really curious about the Cruze diesel, good to see it get great fuel economy. I kind of wonder if GM will offer more diesel engines in different vehicles.
I watched a YouTube video where a guy drove from San Francisco to LA and back to SF on one tank of diesel. He averaged 49MPG.
Apparently a GM engineer got 900 miles on a tank of diesel.

Stchman- would barely do 75 mph??
Odd-pretty sure Prius are governed at 104 mph
Doubt I've put our 2006 over 80 mph
but from the way it accelerates at 70 mph-I have no doubt it will do the full 104.
It is a very aerodynamic car.26 cd is the claim-so it doesn't need much hp to do 100 mph
Heck not sure what hp it makes-maybe 120-130 hp?? In any case plenty enough to punch such a small aero car up to 104
I wonder if that rental car was governed?? It wouldn't be too tough to chip it in some way so the top speed was limited to 80 mph The 2012 actually has a bigger motor 1.8 liter-more hp-so I have no doubt they can do whatever -104 mph- Toyota governs then at.
Bet that rental-had some extra governing in it
Our 2006 actually has decent enough zip accelerating from say 25mph to 60 mph-the immediate electric torque-nice boost.
It won't accelerate anything like that turbo cruise- 8-8.5 0-60 in a 50+ mpg car is awfully good
The TD Cruise will slightly beat the Prius in HY mpg-but in city mpg-the Prius can't be beaten
but the TD Cruise-a LOT more fun-lot more ZIP- YEAH $20,000 for a TD Cruise-deal of the year!!
TB is a Lucky so and so
Speaking of which-trip over?? Any more MPG reports??
She's still in Canada, wont be home until around the begining of August.
They have over 7700 miles on the car now.
She took it to the Chevy dealer in Campbell River B.C. for service at 7000.
The dealership hadnt seen a TD Cruize yet so they took a little longer to do the service. They told my wife they wanted guidance/clarification from GM on a few things, I belive they wanted to show the car off to prospective TD Cruize buyers.
They gave her a 2013 Camero convertable loaner for 2 days, when she came back to get her Cruze it was sitting in the showroom detailed and being shown like a new car.
They tried to interest her in a straight across trade or trade and drop more money on a couple other new cars, including the Camero loaner. What I found funny was even used with 7k miles and damage on the r/r quarter they offered her a couple hthousand more than we paid for the car here in DFW.
The dealership General Manager told her if she wanted to trade he already had her car sold, she declined and hung on to it.
Mileage is still the same, even though its over the break-in period it hasnt climbed any but most of their driving for the last week has been around town. Next leg of their trip will have some long open highways so maybe we'll see an increase then.

Thanks for the update. The MPG is soooo good-wouldn't expect it to get much better.
I think the claim is the tolerances and quality control is so good now a days-that you don't get the boost we used to get as rings slowly bedded in-and as high spots were worn off
Yeah-right out of the box your TD was pegging it mpg wise-
a 50 mpg highway trip-hard to beat.
So they wanted that car huh-lotta TD fanatics out there-GM hasn't had a small car TD in the USA since
NEVER?? Yeah they have been making them in Europe South American Asia for 30 years or more-for all size vehicles-very good vehicles
Like you mentioned earlier-that motor is a well developed product-been in service for several years Europe maybe Asia too
I bet they wanted that baby-tried to catch her eye with a flashy Convertible Camaro?? No surprise there-car sellers know their business-now a V-8 Camaro hardtop-would have tempted me?? No where near as "makes sense car" but it would have tempted me!! Convertibles in NOLA or DFW- too freakin hot!!
Canadians buy more TD cars than we do-lotta TD trucks too.
7700 miles already?? It will have 10,000 plus by the time it gets home?? Seattle
They still have to go to Idaho, Montana, back down to Reno and Sacramento, Ca. then back across to DFW so 10,000+ wont be a surprise.
I certainly underestimated their mileage when they left.The Camero was a baseline 6cyl convertable and Im sure with the weather in B.C. top down has limited times of the year so it makes sense to try and trade it off, only problm is we own a softop Jeep she drives in spring and fall so we got no need for another convertable here, like you said summertime ots useless with the heat we normally have.

Yeah 10,000 plus miles- 45-50 mpg-heck just 200 gallons or so
I'm going to use about 180 gallons going 3000 miles to Flagstaff-and driving a few hundred city tourist miles once there
Most pretty efficient cars would have used 300 gallons over that 10,000 miles-saving close to $400
and for $20,000-you stole that car!!
You need to buy that driver who dinged it a beer!!
Well maybe not a beer-maybe a steak- he better skip the beer!!

The 2009 Hyosung Sense was one of the mid-level scooters from South Korean manufacturer Hyosung Corporation via its S&T Motors division. It is officially called the ""2009 Hyosung Sense SD50."" It had a manufacturer's suggested retail price, or MSRP, of $1,599.
Available as a red or silver scooter, the 2009 Hyosung Sense's suffix is partly inspired by its engine displacement, which is measured at 49 cubic centimeters. (It is rounded up to 50.) The engine that powers the 2009 Sense is a two-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder that pumps out 3.5 horsepower at 7,000 revolutions per minute (RPM) and 2.8 pound-feet of torque at 6,500 RPM. It uses a reed intake valve train, and has a bore and stroke of 1.61 x 1.47 inches (41 x 37.4 millimeters) and 7.2-to-1 compression ratio. Fueling the engine is a 14-inch Mikuni carburetor. Hyosung provides an electric and kick starter on the scooter for ignition.
Each 2009 Hyosung Sense engine is hooked up with a Continuously Variable Transmission, which is also known as CVT. It helps with more effective engine operation – and consequently, greater fuel efficiency – by choosing from an infinite number of gear ratios. Each 2009 Sense gets a fuel tank that can hold up to 1.3 gallons (4.8 liters).
For braking power, the 2009 Hyosung Sense uses a front-disc-brake rear-drum-brake format. The suspension on the scooter comprises a telescopic fork at the front and a single-sided swing arm with a shock absorber at the back. Each 2009 Sense uses 12-inch wheels.
The 2009 Hyosung Sense uses a solid steel frame; and it is dressed up with front and rear fenders, exhaust guard and lower fairing. The scooter can be parked using its center stand. A two-piece vinyl seat provides enough space for the driver and one passenger. Standard digital instrumentation on the 2009 Sense consists of a speedometer and fuel level warning gauge.
Storage space on the 2009 Hyosung Sense consists of a rear rack, under-seat and lockable compartments, and a space for hanging a helmet. A halogen headlight and a pair of side mirrors are provided for enhancing visual perception during driving.
Each 2009 Hyosung Sense has a length of 72.4 inches (1,837.9 mm), width of 25 inches (635 mm), height of 43.7 inches (1,110 mm) and wheelbase of 50.6 inches (1,285.2 mm). The ground clearance and seat height of the 2009 Sense are measured at 5.5 inches (139.7 mm) and 29 inches (736.6 mm), respectively. Its dry weight is estimated at 194 lbs. (88 kilograms).
With decent engine power, braking, handling and storage space, the 2009 Hyosung Sense is worth considering. For customers torn between the 2009 Sense and its model-year counterpart in the Hyosung Rally – which has a MSRP that is $300 higher – there's not much of a difference between the two, as they share virtually all specifications.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Editor, The Transcript:
I began a previous letter to the editor a few years ago by saying that I abhor violence as much as anyone, and it is just as true for me today. And by the way, I don't own a gun. All of the tragic massacres described in previous recent letters to the editor, no matter by what means: guns, knives, bombs, etc., are heinous and despicable. As a partial solution, I submit that a ban on assault weapons is a reasonable action in helping to curb such horrible acts. However, people such as Bob Franken and Piers Morgan (whose hot headed, insipid behavior in his CNN forum recently was an embarrassment to watch) are myopic in their thinking if they believe that gun control is the only answer to this problem. Franken's sloughing of the saying "guns don't kill people; people kill people" is no more insipid to me than my saying, "I am overweight because I have a spoon".
I side with recent well thought out, inclusive and introspective letters by Cindy Merrick, Mark McCurley and Nancy Smart for indicating that these terrible tragedies are due to problems far more encompassing than gun control. I strongly include myself with them in inferring that issues such as glorification of violence, family disintegration and troubled, deranged minds are just as much (if not more) to blame or to be the causes, not just the symptoms, of these tragic acts. Sadly, I don't have the viable, precise answers to these problems. But the lawmakers and other professionals who do deal with these problems would do well to remember this: if one diabolical instrument is limited or removed (guns) when considering these acts, the troubled mind will find another. It is this troubled mind that society absolutely must address, not just gun control.

Simple beauty
David Earle
Elevation differences were addressed with decorative enhancements such as "aprons" around building entrances.
The apron around the brick entrance was constructed to make up for almost a 1½-inch difference in the sidewalk and the entrance. This allows the city to maintain ADA compliance between the apron and the parking meter. In the background, a small curb was added along the building to tastefully lower the once severely sloped sidewalk.
Newly constructed steps and curbs help keep cross slopes at less than 2% to meet ADA standards.
BEFORE: The aged sidewalk had pushed up in some places, creating trip hazards. Other areas settled, causing cross slope issues.
AFTER: The historic frontage diamond pattern was made simpler by eliminating edged joints and boarder edging.
DURING CONSTRUCTION: A historic wall was pushing out, causing the sidewalk to settle along the edge. The wall was re-poured and tied into the sidewalk. At the same time a "small" historic iron fence was repaired and made ready to reinstall on top of the wall.
AFTER: The diamond pattern complements the homes and businesses in the city's historic district. The 75-year-old fence protecting the drop off looks like new again.
Decorative flower beds compensate for severe cross slope issues. This picture also shows a 6-inch step that was formed to make up for a 6-inch cross slope in a 9-foot-wide sidewalk (see between the flower beds). Driveway aprons are not tooled to keep the focus on the walkway.
Many of the downtown sidewalks in Tallahassee, Fla., were cracked, sloping, and in need of an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) upgrade; but the city also wanted to create a sense of "place" for unique areas such as Tallahassee's historic district. The challenge was to create an original, attractive sidewalk that both city staff and downtown businesses could agree on, while also making it easy for in-house city crews to maintain afterward.
The Tallahassee Public Works Department contracted local father-and-son team D&T Construction to create a tooled diamond pattern, scored with an edging tool. The design enhances key areas while still meeting the hilly terrain's tricky grade differences; some of the roads have more than an 8% slope. The real challenge, however, was the cross slopes. The crew:
Tallahassee Downtown Sidewalks Improvement Program
Owner: City of Tallahassee, Fla.
Contractor: D&T Construction, Tallahassee, Fla.
Scope of work: Rebuild approximately 60 block-long segments of sidewalk, one block at a time
When working on a public project around various local businesses, it's also important to have good public relations skills, which the contractors exceled at. The city received letters of praise for their communication skills and work ethic.
Tallahassee now has sidewalks that both meet current ADA standards and provide some added character, which enables the downtown area to stand out from surrounding areas.

Middle East Cyber War Timeline (Part IV)
After some mutual attacks in terms of DDoS and defacements (with a new entry from Morocco and a resounding defacement against the Tel Aviv University Security Studies Program website, the head of the National Cyber Defense Authority), this week has seen the revamping of Credit Cards leaks "thanks" to Zcompany Hacker crew, who dumped more than 200 Credit Cards belonging to Israel And United States.
Even considering this latter event, however, the timeline seems to have confirmed the descending trend, with the early actors of both parties apparently quiet inside their virtual shelters (maybe to elaborate new strategies). But in this apparently calm sky a new thunderstorm threatens the horizon: it is the Anonymous which posted a message promising a reign of terror for Israel…
If you have a look to the Middle East nations involved in the cyber conflict which made attacks or suffered attacks (depicted in the map below that does not include U.S. victim of the latest Credit Card leak and France whose Council of Jewish Institutions was hacked earlier in June), you may easily notice that the virtual geopolitics reflect nearly exactly the real ones (the dotted arrow from Iran indicates the uncertainty of the nationality of OxOmar) with the new entry of Pakistani ZHC.

Commentary on Theorizing in mathematics education research: differences in modes and quality
Bharath Sriraman
Department of Mathematical Sciences
The University of Montana
Jamesons critique of post-modernism is used as a general framework to discuss the analysis and recommendations of Jablonka & Bergsten on the different modes of theorizing in mathematics education, as well as their limitations and scope. In particular their arguments for transparency, inter-textuality and development of its inherently discursive nature are closely scrutinized.
Keywords:discursive approaches; post modernism; theories of mathematics education; inter-textuality

It only takes a spark to get a fire going; so go the lyrics of contemporary hymn called Pass It On and the intentions of the newly formed Pelham Community SANDY Relief Team.
With the goal of providing "immediate and long-term help and hope to victims of Hurricane Sandy in nearby communities," a group of Pelham volunteers including co-coordinators Kristen Bidwell and Kathie O'Callahan are using the Huguenot Memorial Church office as 'command central' with volunteers Tina Constable, Beja Keyser, Kathy Shea, Rachel Collens, Page Edmunds, Jeff Marcks, Bill Hoare, Lance Koonce, Syd Thayer, Rev. Steve Michie, Rev. Jacob Bolton and Eric Smith.
The group is soliciting donations for victims of Hurricane Sandy and asking people to volunteer their time and labor.
The core group of volunteers got together Wednesday and are mobilizing with efficient, lightning-like speed to marshall a donation drive and volunteer trip this Saturday to Howard Beach, an area hard hit by Hurricane Sandy last week.
If you would like to get involved, the team welcomes your participation in a Relief Run to St. Helen's Church in Howard Beach from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday leaving from Huguenot Memorial Church parking lot at 901 Pelhamdale Ave, Pelham Manor, NY. Cars will be packed with supplies then caravan to Howard Beach.
Given the conditions, this trip is not for the very young or faint of heart. The group needs adult volunteers who are prepared and able to deal with the safety and sanitation challenges in the storm-stricken area.
Even if you can't go with the group, Kelly hopes everyone in the community will consider dropping off donations to the Main Kitchen of the church starting today between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
"These are being collected for this and other runs since we will be making as many relief runs as needed and as possible in the coming days and weeks," stated Kelly in her appeal.
If you would like to get involved, email Kristen Bidwell:firstname.lastname@example.com or Kathie O'Callaghan: firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also contact the Huguenot Memorial Church office: phone:(914) 738. 3488 or email:info@huguenotchurch.

text: With its sportbike-style frame and bodywork, massive cruiser engine and wheels that could have come from an exotic supercar, Roger Allmond's custom Rocket III is utterly unique. With its sportbike-style frame and bodywork, massive cruiser engine and wheels that could Roger Allmond, the best custom bike builder in Britain, approaches projects from a decidedly different point of view than the average chrome-and-candy chopper builder. This is to be expected, given his location and background. Allmond Cycle Design is based in Oxford, an hour outside of London and deep in the heart of Britain's Formula One country. Renault, Williams and Jaguar team headquarters are all within 20 miles of Allmond's shop. A former overworked engineering contractor, Allmond has since downshifted and turned his energy-and considerable engineering and fabricating talent-to building custom bikes full-time. That high-performance background is expressed in all of Allmond's projects, as is his penchant for unusual motorcycles. His last chopper, dubbed the Techno-Bobber, began as a Ducati Monster S4R. That makes the donated Triumph Rocket III that forms the basis of this machine almost seem like a rational choice. Built as a promotional vehicle for the UK-based Bennett's insurance firm, Allmond's direction was to build a bike that would "attract attention and draw conversation"-something this bike clearly succeeds at. Triumph's shaft drive mechanism is retained, and the rear brake has been relocated to the driveshaft to clean up the rear wheel. Triumph's shaft drive mechanism is retained, and the rear brake has been relocated to the Except for the 2.3-liter, three-cylinder engine and its associated shaft final drive, little remains of the donor Rocket III. Allmond fabricated the monocoque aluminum frame himself, as well as the tubular chrome-moly single-sided swingarm and matching single-sided fork, the latter a parallelogram design with the suspension unit mounted in front of the headstock. Allmond also machined the five-spoke wheel centers, which are bonded to one-off carbon-fiber rims built to Allmond's specifications by Dymag. Allmond made everything else, including the exhaust, rearsets and many other details. We especially admire his novel rear brake arrangement, which locates the rotor on the driveshaft instead of the rear wheel. Allmond says he has six months of labor invested in the Bennett's promo machine, which will be on the show circuit for most of next year, drumming up attention. Despite lacking lights, it might even see a few just-for-fun road miles, too. Wild looks aside, Allmond's bikes aren't all show-each is carefully designed and engineered to work as well as it looks. With a background in Formula One, would you expect anything else? By Aaron Frank Enjoyed this Post?

CLINTON —What a difference a year makes.
April almost became a record-breaking month this year, but in a much different way than last year's spring months.
The area's rainfall amounted to the second wettest April since record-keeping began in 1878. The month ended with 7.55 inches of rain, just off the record of 7.72 inches from 1909.
Jim Blaess, official weather observer with the U.S. government, said the weather difference between years was quite a turnaround.
"You go from the warmest spring ever, and turn it around to go to one of the cooler ones," Blaess said. "That's a big drop from last year."
The dropoff didn't just happen in rainfall. April registered 10 days with high temperatures in the 40s, giving it an average temperature of 48.9 degrees, down from the normal temperature of 51.3 degrees.
That average temperature was helped by the last day of April, with an official high of 87 degrees, 3 degrees off a record-high. Despite the added lift from April's last day, the month was the coldest April since 1997.
Last year's April had two days with high temperatures in the 40s, with an average temperature of 52.9 degrees.
But the biggest difference between the two years has been rain.
From January to April last year, rain amounted to 8.22 inches, slightly above normal. This year, though, the area has registered 13.63 inches of rain, making the first four months of 2013 the sixth wettest on record.
The last time the area has experienced a wetter first four months of the year was in 1973, when the area received 16.73 inches of rain.
"This is what it took to beat the drought," Blaess said.

July 31, 2014
A battle is brewing at the Texas Legislature among right-to-life groups. But rather than debate when life begins, they are fighting over the rules that govern the end of a terminally-ill patient's life.
The dispute revolves around what should happen when doctors and the family of someone who is dying in a hospital disagree on continuing medical treatment.
Texas Right to Life says patients and their families should make all decisions. The Texas Alliance for Life, Christian Life Commission and the Texas Catholic Conference say doctors should not be forced to provide treatment they think is unethical.
Medical groups want ethics committees to decide, and then give families the chance to find another doctor.
Activists are asking conservative Republicans who control the Legislature to decide which course Texas should take.

(not sure if this is the right place to put this but... xD)
Some of you may have heard of Dwarf Fortress, and hopefully some of you have even played it. Those that pay any attention to the game's metagame will be aware of the legendary Boatmurdered, a project of running a fortress by saving and passing it along to a new person from a list at the end of every in-game year (when spring arrives). It made for some very entertaining storytelling. You can check the whole thing out just by googling "Boatmurdered". You probably should anyway.
Anyway, my idea was to try and do another Boatmurdered, and I'd need some volunteers to participate who are willing to join in and contribute their creativity (and ability to make screenshots). Now, for those who have never played Dwarf Fortress before, please be advised that it is a viciously difficult and complex game much in the way of a fantasy simulator - like the Sim games, there is no 'win' to the game, except losing as spectacularly as possible. Sometimes in a flood of fiery demons and murder. If you wish to join, please find and download version 0.31.25, which I think is the most recent one (and more importantly the one I'm using now) and play a few games to get the hang of the basics. You will lose horribly during your first few, I almost guarantee it, so feel free to use that as a learning experience and USE GUIDES. I'm not kidding when I say the game is ridiculously complex.
Otherwise, I'll leave this up as a general signup area for people who are interested in joining. Official rules will be posted when we have enough people, but the rules will be pretty general - advice on a few things to not do that will almost assuredly cause you to destroy your fortress during your turn, and how to post up your accounts on the events.

preserve and restoration project near Waikoloa Village on Hawai'i Island. Our mission is to preserve, protect and restore a remnant native Hawaiian dry forest ecosystem through land management, outreach, education and grass roots advocacy. We accomplish our goals by focusing our management on threat control, such as invasive plant management and fuel reduction, as well as increasing the number of native species within the project by planting and seed broadcasting.
The preserve is home to several endemic plant species including the wiliwili tree and the critically endangered uhiuhi tree. Unfortunately these lands today are only remnants of the incredible dryland forests that once covered the leeward sides of the Hawaiian islands. It is estimated that all but 5% of the native dryland forests of Hawai'i have been lost. The remnant forests that persist today are still threatened by development, feral ungulates and increased threat of fire due largely to invasive grasses. We feel it is our responsibility to care for what remains and promote a recovery of these unique and valuable forests.
Our current programs include invasive species control, fuels management, native plant propagation and planting, and outreach and education programs. The outreach and education program includes the Waikoloa Future Foresters educational program for children, and our visitors and volunteer programs. Outreach and education is central to our vision and goals at WDFI and we hope to preserve, promote and restore understanding and stewardship of the forest within our communities through our volunteer and educational programs and by providing opportunities to tour and experience these special places
WDFI and our partners are committed to dryland forest advocacy through community outreach and education and dedicated to protecting and restoring these precious areas. We encourage you to explore our site and to join us in our pursuit of healthy dry forests!

NEWS OF THE SOUTHWEST CORNER (or...REMEMBER, YOU READ IT HERE FIRST)
SANTA FE has announced plans to increase passenger service between Los Angeles and San Diego as a part of that railroad's system-wide upgrading of passenger service. A new order of specially built Bud RDCs (remember them?) will be the mainstay for the 80 minute run. The sixteen RDCs, due to arrive by next April first, will operate at speeds up to 140 miles an hour on the San Diego to Los Angeles tracks now undergoing a massive realignment and upgrading. An agreement reached between Santa Fe and the railroad unions will permit two-man crews on the new high speed run consisting of a conductor and an engineman. Qualified brakemen and firemen will be promoted to take over the new jobs the extended service will create.
SANTA FE also announced plans for passenger "automobile train-ferries" on AT&SF passenger runs. The new, San Diego to Los Angelas schedules will feature the automobile-and-passanger carrying cars when they are delivered. Initial plans call for the "automobile train-ferries" to operate in each direction twice a day, early in the morning and early in the evening.
An agreement has been reached between SANTA FE and PSRMA for a lease of the Fallbrook branch line to the San Diego based museum group for Sunday steam passenger operations. According to Santa Fe, management personnel feel that closer community involvement, as well as the opportunities for the public to compare the old rustic equipment of PSRMA with Modern efficient Santa Fe locomotives and cars, will be but a couple of beneficial results from the lease arrangement.
UNION PACIFIC has been in the diesel ordering business again, and once more is opting for high horsepower units of unique designs. This time the order is divided between EMD, General Electric and the newly rejuvenated American Locomotive Company (ALCo). From EMD the railroad is receiving seven 15,000 horsepower triple-engined EE77s (UP 7701 - 7706) within the next few months. Delivery of eleven new GE U78Fs (UP 7888-7798) is expected by the early part of next year for these 15,050 hp giants. From ALCo is coming six of that company's new PA-4s (Pneuclear Assists, Fourth Class) with 14,950 horsepower (UP 23-28). These units will be housed in bodies from traded-in Santa Fe PA-1s, obtained by ALCo from a scrap dealer in Illinois.
Colorado and New Mexico have obtained all DENVER & RIO GRANDE narrow gauge trackage in those two states, and have announced a schedule for tourist type passenger operations over the historic tracks. The combined state commission operating the railroad, which will retain the D&RG name by special agreement with the original D&RG, will utilize 100% diesel power for trains as a result of increased costs to operate steam.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC is receiving 450 more SD45s from EMD and will continue numbering the new acquisitions in the 9900 and 10000 series now occupied by the 375 SD45s already on Espee property.
ESPEE has also withdrawn all passenger train-off petitions currently before the ICC as a result of the recent labor negotiations limiting train crew size, and the reassigning of postal contracts by the new Postal Corporation in Washington.
And finally, SOUTHERN PACIFIC has announced through the offices of the SAN DIEGO & ARIZONA EASTERN here in San Diego weekly passenger service between San Diego and El Centro via the Carizzo Gorge. According to Espee public demand for such service has been so great since 1954 when the last passenger train made the run that the railroad felt "it was our duty as a common carrier, serving the public, to fulfill these demands." Espee is also making arrangements with certain museum groups (including PSRMA, to operate occasional steam powered excursions through the gorge. One best bet for power is SD&AE #104, currently in Espee's Taylor Yard undergoing major repairs and rebuilding.
And that does it for a SOUTHWEST CORNER for this month. Chances are, most of these predictions will never materialize (thank goodness, in some cases), but it would be interesting if just a couple did! jfh

From Staff Reports
Corsicana Daily Sun
Corsicana —
Navarro County Has Been Awarded Federal Funding Under the Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program. The county has been chosen to receive $18,874 to supplement and expand emergency food and shelter programs in the county.
The award was made by a National Board that is chaired by the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency and consists of representatives from American Red Cross; The Salvation Army; The Jewish Federations of North America; Catholic Charities, USA; National Council of The Churches of Christ in the U.S.A.; and United Way. The Local Board was charged to distribute funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas around the country.
A Local Board made up of representatives of county government, United Way, The Salvation Army, American Red Cross, Ministerial Alliance, Catholic Charities, Jewish Community Member, Community Services, a Homeless Advocate, Navarro County Food Pantry and other community members will determine how the funds awarded to Navarro County are to be distributed among the emergency food and shelter programs run by local service agencies in the area. The local board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds and any additional funds available under this phase of the program.
Under the terms of the grant from the National Board, local agencies chosen to receive funds must; 1) be private voluntary non-profits or units of government, 2) have an accounting system, 3) practice nondiscrimination, 4) have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs, and 5) if they are a private voluntary organization, they must have a voluntary board. Qualifying agencies are urged to apply.
In past years, Navarro County jurisdiction has distributed Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds to The Salvation Army and Navarro County Food Pantry. These agencies have provided food, meals and shelter in emergency situations, but they do not currently have any funds available under this grant.
Public or private voluntary agencies interested in applying for Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds must contact Marianne Mitchell, United Way of Navarro County, 115 N. Main Street, Corsicana, Texas 75110, or call (903) 874-5253 for an application. The deadline for applying is Thursday, Jan. 10, 2013.

South Whitehall police were at Parkland High School Monday morning as a precaution, following an unspecified threat to a teacher by a student, district spokeswoman Nicole McGalla said.
"They were just there as a precautionary measure," McGalla said.
The threat was made to a teacher Sunday night. She said police were able to identify the student, who was not in school and who was not expected to be.
Police and school officials limited the entry points into the building to two to make sure the student didn't enter. She said the school will likely continue to limit entry points.
High School Principal James Moniz sent an email to parents to alert them to the situation.

We believe in the idea of sustainability in software development. Open source software is a measurable benefit to the economy, to companies, and to individual developers. Clojure/core seeks to create a sustainable environment for Clojure to thrive.
We Sustain Clojure
Every member of the Clojure/core team spends at least 20% of normal working hours tending to Clojure itself: adding new features to the language, helping organize community contributions, tending support tickets and the mailing list, and ensuring that practical lessons learned by field deployments find their way back into planning Clojure's future.
Clojure/core team members are founders or committers on the following projects:
- Clojure The Clojure programming language
- tools.namespace Tools for managing namespaces and dependencies in Clojure
- data.json JSON parser/generator to/from Clojure data structures
- test.generative Test data generation and execution
- Compojure Concise web framework for Clojure
- Leiningen A build tool for Clojure designed to not set your hair on fire
- Labrepl An environment for exploring the Clojure language
- Lazytest New test framework for Clojure
Why Clojure/core
We combine the deep technical understanding of the creator of Clojure with the best practices of a premier agile development company to provide expert development. We are the core development team for Clojure itself, and we invest back into Clojure every week in order to sustain the platform and the community.Learn More About Us »
Why Clojure
Complexity threatens to overwhelm the modern programmer. Rather than getting things done, it is all too easy to focus on tangential problems caused by the technology itself. Clojure was created to combat this state of affairs through: Simplicity, Empowerment and Focus.Learn More About Clojure »
Clojure is built from the ground up to be simple. Code is data. Functions are easy to write and test. Data is immutable, and state is explicit. Protocols and types expose the usable parts of OO, minus the pain. You don't have to settle for familiar complexity.
Don't throw away your existing code! Clojure is built on top of the JVM, the most widely used deployment platform today. Clojure provides fast, wrapper-free access to Java code, plus powerful new ways to use that code better.
Focus comes when you can work at the right level of abstraction. Clojure's design lets you start work immediately on your problems, not tool problems. Clojure's Lisp heritage provides the features you need to keep ancillary problems out of your way throughout a project's lifecycle.

A Short History of the College Library
The Watts-de Peyster Library, built in 1897, faced College Avenue.
1897-1898 - First College library building constructed in Richardsonian Romanesque style at a cost of $16,055 plus $990 for a steam heating plant and $5,150 for steel book stacks; Named Watts-de Peyster Library after Frederick de Peyster and John Watts, father and maternal grandfather of donor, John Watts de Peyster (1821-1907); Library collections were formerly housed in the Literary Society buildings and in the college library, ground floor/Old Main; M. (Michael) O'Connor of Hudson, NY., Architect; George H. Oster of Lancaster, Builder. Original cornerstone laid May 1897 is located in lobby along with busts of John Watts and John Watts de Peyster. A sculpture of the donor's ancestor Abraham de Peyster was located in front of the building along College Avenue. It was moved to its present location along Buchanan Avenue in 1937.
1928 - Remodeled at a cost of $10,000.
1937 - Razed.
The original Browsing Room of Fackenthal Library, ca. 1955, was dedicated to B.F. Fackenthal's wife Sarah Riegel who died in 1925. It is now the site of the Cataloging Department.
1937-1938 - Fackenthal Library constructed in Colonial Revival style at a cost of $250,000, incorporating portions of the Watts-de Peyster library into the core of the new structure. Named after and funded by B. F. Fackenthal, Jr. (F & M Trustee); Begun April 19, 1937 (cornerstone laid July 28). William H. Lee, Architect (Philadelphia). D.S. Warfel, (Lancaster) Contractor. Mural by John C. Wonsetler.
1938 - May 31st, Fackenthal Library dedicated.
1981-1983- Fackenthal Library enlarged and renovated at a cost of $4.1 million. Architects Shepley, Bullfinch, Richardson and Abbott of Boston, MA. Completed January 1983.
1983 Oct. - Dedication of renovation and addition; renamed Shadek-Fackenthal Library; in honor of Arthur Shadek, member of Board of Trustees and major donor to library renovation.
The facade of Fackenthal Library shortly after being renamed Shadek-Fackenthal, ca. 1984.
1984 - College Archives and Academy Room opened (built as part of the renovations).
1988- 1990 -Martin Library of the Sciences constructed. The $5.1 million Martin Library of the Sciences, which opened at the start of the 1990 Fall semester, was officially dedicated and named in 1991 for Aaron J. Martin, Ph.D. '50, who was chairman of the college's Board of Trustees from 1985 until the spring of 1991, and his wife Jean. The Martins, along with members of the Benjamin Rush Society, were directly responsible for financing the building's construction. Architects for the 19,000-square-foot structure were Shepley Bulfinch Richardson & Abbott, and the general contractor was Warfel Construction Company of Lancaster, PA. The elegant facade was modeled on the streamlined symmetries of the 16th century Italian architect Andrea Palladio, and the open, uncluttered interior design echoes this as well. The library houses on three floors approximately 58,000 book volumes and over 400 periodical titles (initially gathered from the campus's main library and dispersed science departments). These include F&M's biology, chemistry, geology, physics, mathematics and astronomy collections, as well as a large selection of psychology titles. The college's Computing Center occupies the ground floor, and includes a fully equipped electronic classroom, a computer store, and staff offices. In addition the first floor contains a computer workroom, directly opposite the Circulation Desk, for use by students, faculty, and F&M personnel during the library's hours of operation, along with workstations placed just outside the workroom's entrance.
A Technical Services Room located to the rear of the Circulation Desk houses the microform reader/printer/scanners, videos and video cassette players, CDs and computer workstations. Current periodicals are displayed on the first floor's west side, while indices and reference holdings are opposite to this on the east.
The second floor contains the bound periodical holdings, and drawers for a large number of topographical and other maps. The Martin Library is a certified depository for science-related U.S. Government Documents, including an extensive collection of U.S. Geological Survey maps, and these too are on the second floor. The third floor mezzanine houses the major portion of the circulating titles, with new acquisitions specially displayed opposite the Circulation Desk and flanked by a curving, oak-encased reading area.
The library has seating capacity for 95 readers. This includes carrels as well as individual and group study rooms. In addition a Seminar Room on the second floor is available for classes, meetings, audio/visual demonstrations, and so on. Photocopiers are available on the first and second floors.

Library BenefactorsJohn Watts DePeyster
Soldier, Author, Philanthropist
John Watts DePeyster at the age of 70, 1891.
Born in New York City, DePeyster was the descendent of early New York Mayor (1692-1694) Colonel de Heer Abraham DePeyster (1657-1728). A member of a wealthy family active in civil and military affairs, DePeyster authored numerous works on military and world history and served as Brigadier General in the New York State Militia in the 1850s and during the Civil War. Although ill health prevented DePeyster from serving as a field commander, he was active in raising and training troops and was granted the honorary rank of Brevet Major General in 1866 for his service. After the war the General continued his literary pursuits and civil leadership, advocating improvements in New York's police and fire protection, and became a benefactor to many municipalities, charities and libraries, including Franklin and Marshall.
DePeyster's association with the College began in 1885 when he donated books to the Diagnothian Literary Society as a gesture for their having elected him an honorary member in recognition of his literary achievements. A friendship then developed between Abraham Rothermel, the secretary of the Society, and General DePeyster that resulted in further donations to the library. In 1897 DePeyster donated $25,000 to build the College's first library building which was located on this site until replaced by the current structure in 1937.
On May 12, 1897 the cornerstone (now on display in the lobby of the current library) of the new Watts-DePeyster Library (named after DePeyster's father Frederic and grandfather John Watts) was dedicated by a party of dignitaries including Abraham Rothermel, College President John Stahr, Librarian John B. Kieffer and Architect M. O'Connor. Curiously DePeyster did not attend the dedication nor did he ever visit Lancaster in his lifetime. By the end of the decade the College had granted DePeyster three Honorary degrees in recognition of his generosity.

Benjamin Franklin Fackenthal, Jr.
Benjamin F. Fackenthal (1851-1941) F&M Trustee. Oil on canvas, ca.1938. Originally hung in Browsing Room. Currently displayed in Academy Room.
The death of Dr. Fackenthal had brought to an end the marked career of a great industrialist and a munificent benefactor who for forty-two years had served faithfully on the Board of Trustees of the College, and who had been the efficient President of the Board since 1915. He had never been a student at Franklin and Marshall, but had always been an ardent supporter of the Institution, giving generously of his time and means to further the best interests of the College.
Dr. Fackenthal was born June 2, 1851, at Doylestown, Pa. He attended the public schools and also took special courses in chemistry and metallurgy at Lafayette College. While he did not graduate from Lafayette College he received from that institution very deservedly an honorary degree of Master of Arts in 1891, of Doctor of Science in 1911, and of Doctor of Laws in 1929.
Dr. Fackenthal had a strikingly successful industrial career. At the age of fifteen he became associated with the Durham Iron Works. In 1872 he became superintendent of works and mines. Three years later, at the age of twenty-four, he was promoted to the position of general manager of Cooper and Rewitt's blast furnaces and mines at -Ringwood and Pequest, N. J., and at Riegelsville, Pa. From 1893 until 1913, he served as President of the Thomas Iron Company and as President of the Ironton Railroad. From 1893 to 1926 he was associated with the Clymer Power Company. In 1927 he assumed the presidency of Taylor, Styles and Company, knife works. Dr. Fackenthal also served as vice-president and chairman of the Executive Committee of the Easton Trust Company, and as Director of the Lehigh Portland Cement Company of Sault Ste. Marie.
Over a period of thirty years, Dr. Fackenthal was a generous benefactor to Franklin and Marshall College. In 1910 he gave a large endowment to the College which provided for the B. F. Fackenthal, Jr. Professorship of Biology, a Chair held by Dr. Richard C. Schiedt and later by Dr. Mitchel Carroll. The Fackenthal Laboratories he erected in 1929 not only added to the campus a handsome building of colonial type architecture but furnished the College with the most complete modern equipment in biology and chemistry. The following year he made possible the erection of the Fackenthal Swimming Pool, adjoining the gymnasium and completing the group of buildings at the end of the quadrangle in the lower campus.
His most generous gift was the Fackenthal Library, erected in 1938. This beautiful edifice contains modern equipment in every detail, and provides facilities for study, research, and recreation.

Aaron J. Martin
Chemist, Philanthropist
Aaron J. Martin, class of 1950, is a Lancaster native. Upon graduation from Franklin & Marshall, Martin studied chemistry at the Pennsylvania State University, where he received a masters in 1952 and a Ph.D. in 1953. Martin extended his interest in chemistry research to E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co. in the 1950s. Later, he created the F&M Scientific Corp., a manufacturer of gas chromatographs. The company merged with Hewlett Packard in 1965; and, in 1999, Martin was inducted into the Instrumentation Hall of Fame. Martin served as a member of the Board of Trustees from 1973 to 1998. In 1985, he was elected Chairman of the Board. Martin was largely responsible for the construction of the Martin Library of the Sciences in 1988-90. In 2002, he received an honorary doctor of science degree.
Franklin and Marshall College LibrariansBefore 1888 the position of College Librarian (director) was a part-time job carried out by a member of the faculty. This was sufficient since the College Library collection was very small and only occupied a small room located in Old Main. The majority of the books available to students were kept by independent libraries maintained by the Diagnothian and Goethean Literary Societies. However with the College growing it became necessary to make the position more or less full-time in 1888. The first College Library building didn't become a reality until 1897.

SHENANDOAH VALLEY -- Two counties and one city in the Valley rank among the healthiest areas to live in Virginia, according to a study by the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service.
Rockingham County was ranked as the 20th healthiest county, the city of Harrisonburg ranked 14th and Augusta County ranked 31st. The rankings are out of 131 localities in Virginia.
Kathy McQuain, Rockingham County's director of recreation, said county programs and staying fit can contribute to keeping people healthy.
"It's extremely important for longevity and healthy community and healthy families. We try to offer programs that encourage that, because it's a benefit all the way around," said McQuain.
The survey was compiled using information on access to health care facilities, public policy and the environment, factors that affect community health.
