Here are some new renders of the next generation 2012 F30/F32 3-series coupe and sedan. Like the current generation, the coupe and sedan will continue to sport unique designs. The next generation 3-series is expected to grow slightly in size and wheelbase, but feature even shorter overhangs to preserve its sporty stance and style. The front fascia is expected to become more upright, consistent with BMW's latest design language seen in the current Z4, F10 5-series, and F01 7-series.
The F32 3 series coupe is expected to share some design elements with the new 6-series coupe, such as sculptured flanks, low roof line, and possibly the turn indicators located under front headlights. It will also have wider and lower kidney grilles than the current E92 coupe.
Engine options … CONTINUED
We previously posted spy photos of the F30s interior which was a dummy interior from the 1-series, but the F30 mules have now been fitted with production form interiors. Visible now is the steering wheel, entire driver console – including tach and speedometer, as well as parts of the center console and interior door. Exterior-wise, the same camouflage remains as in previous F30 sightings.
Compared to the E90 3-series, the F30 will feature a longer wheelbase, but shorter shorter overhangs, for a sporty squat look. It will also have wider and lower kidney grilles. Engine options will include a full range of turbo and naturally aspirated 6-cylinder motors, 4-cylinder … CONTINUED
The next generation 3-series lineup (expected beginning 2012) will include a Gran Turismo (GT) model. Scott26 provides a preview of the F3x 3-series GT, calling it a shrunken down CS Concept. Details and preview renderings inside.
The F30 3-series is due in a year and a half so its details and features will gradually come to light, but for now it's interesting to speculate on its likely features. Have some thoughts on possible F30 equipment and features? Share them and see how accurate you are come 2012.
This isn't the first time we've spotted an F30 335i in testing, but it's been quite a while. This next generation 335i prototype was recently spotted testing in public in Germany. The interior remains a dummy interior (from the 1-series) fitted for testing purposes only. We've yet to spot the production F30 interior.
Compared to the E90 3-series, the F30 will feature a longer wheelbase, but shorter shorter overhangs, for a sporty squat look. It will also have wider and lower kidney grilles. Engine options will include a full range of turbo and naturally aspirated 6-cylinder motors, 4-cylinder motors, and possibly even a new 3-cylinder motor. The F30 335i will again be powered by a turbo 6 cylinder motor.
The F30 3-series sedan will make its world public … CONTINUED
This F30 3-series test mule was spied at BMW's M Test Center at the Ring this past weekend. No more revealing except a new set of wheels, but we again see its balanced proportions and shape. The F30 3-series is expected to debut publicly at the 2012 Geneva Autoshow in March 2012.
The cover of the latest auto moto, a french auto magazine, features their prediction of what the 2012 F30 3-series sedan may look like. This render seems to draw heavily on cues from the newest BMWs such as the F10 5-series, F07 5-series GT, F01 7-series, and even E89 Z4. Opinions?
We bring you the first video of the F30 / F31 3-series Touring prototype on the streets of Germany. Most of the car is still clad in heavy camouflage, but as with the F30 sedan spy photos so far, shape, size, and proportions can be gleamed from these early spy photos/videos.
According to our BMW Roadmap, the next generation 3-series sedan and touring are expected sometime in 2012. Several variants are expected of the next gen 3-series, including sedan, coupe, touring, GT version, and of course the M3.
Be sure to follow our F30/F31 homepage coverage: http://www.bimmerpost.com/?s=+f30
Some new photos of the 2012 F30 3-series, spied testing in the German countryside. Not a whole lot new is gleamed from these photos, but it's always good to see the F30 continue its testing. Based on the info we've heard, the F30 sedan may debut at the 2012 Geneva autoshow.

Cardinals fire head coach Ken Whisenhunt
Whisenhunt coached six years for the Cardinals, compiling a 45-51 record, including two NFC West division titles and the franchise's one and only trip to the Super Bowl.
Several of Whisenhunt's assistants have also been let go by the team. Russ Grimm (Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Line), Mike Miller (Offensive Coordinator), Chad Grimm (Offensive Quality Control), John McNulty (Quarterbacks), Frank Reich (Wide Receivers) and Tommie Robinson (Running Backs).
Tight ends coach Freddie Kitchens and special teams coach Kevin Spencer were not affected by the firings.
No changes have been made with the defensive assistants to this point.
Under Whisenhunt, the Cardinals struggled following the retirement of quarterback Kurt Warner after the 2009 season. In the three seasons that followed consecutive playoff berths, the Cardinals went 18-30 while starting six different quarterbacks.
In 2012, the Cardinals suffered their worst loss in franchise history, a 58-0 drubbing at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14.
The Cardinals have also suffered losing streaks in each of the last three seasons of at least six games, including a nine-game skid this season.
Whisenhunt had one year remaining on his contract.
The search for a new coach (and general manager) begins with the new year, and Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton, a hot coaching commodity around the league, would seem to have the early inside track on landing the head coaching post with the Cardinals.
Horton's defense ranked 12th in the league in yards allowed and 17th in points allowed this season.
Whisenhunt was one of seven NFL head coaches relieved of their duties Monday. The others were Philadelphia's Andy Reid, Buffalo's Chan Gailey, Cleveland's Pat Shurmur, San Diego's Norv Turner, Chicago's Lovie Smith and Kansas City's Romeo Crennel.

DockersÛ Alpha Khaki - Bank Red 374 459
fit is not consistent in all styles I like these pants a lot. My only complaint is the inconsistent waist sizes in some of the styles. I bought 5 different colors (all in the same size 30 waist) and 3 of the 5 fit me pefect in the waist but 2 of them were way too tight. other than the waist size inconsistency I really like them. January 15, 2014
Right about everything except one bit. The pants came and fit well, even after I washed them. I used cold water and air dried them so no shrinkage for me. BUT one important thing is off- you made the Dockers logo orange. It's small, but the only thing I can think of when I see the orange on black is obviously Halloween. Please, no one is in the market for Halloweenpants. January 7, 2014
A great pair of pants I'm normally skittish about purchasing pants online - but this is one purchase I don't regret. Stylish and fits just right. January 7, 2014
Be careful of these "Khaki/Jeans" Be very careful sizing them, not only are they cut ultra slim, THEY SHRINK! They had to be returned after one washing. December 21, 2013
Game Changer Amazing fit, quality, and price point. I own several pairs. My only complaint is the durability of some colors. The "New British Khaki" color looks much older after some cycles of cold washing and line drying. I would gladly pay a modest price increase if the color durability improved. December 1, 2013
Gravel Alpha Khaki Pants fit right. They are slightly longer than I'd like, but still happy with the purchase! November 4, 2013
Alpha Khaki - Brown color Awesome Alpha khaki. Like all colors. Own 4 of them. Can be worn casual or at job. November 3, 2013
Alpha Khaki - Olive color Perfect fit. Bought 4 alpha khaki in different colors. Can be worn as casual or at job. Awesome colors and cannot be a better fit. Can never go wrong with Alpha khaki. Runs true to size November 3, 2013

A September '09 article of mine explained how NHL teams like to transition potential scoring forwards from the AHL to the NHL. Since the lockout, most teams have developed a three-season program for transitioning proven AHL producers to scoring NHL forwards. It's a fairly simple formula but it's amazingly consistent.
Once a player proves they can score at the AHL level, usually among the top-25 point scorers, the team will sign the player to a two-way contract. This second, transition year gives teams a chance to get a better read on a player's development. It's a crucial year for the player and can mean anywhere between 10 to 60 NHL games to see if they can still produce in either league, can handle the rigours of the NHL, and don't show any major NHL deficiencies. If the player avoids a major injury and continues to produce in either league they almost always get a one-way contract the following season.
The following year, which I call the breakthrough year, is when the player gets an opportunity to make the team and gets more than a few opportunities to produce in the NHL. Breakthrough doesn't necessarily mean high fantasy numbers, but it often means a 40+ point season for a forward that has top-six/power play potential and is usually under the radar. If a player is breaking through you can draft them for potential, but have a fair idea that they'll produce something as well. Last season an average second liner scored 41 points and an average top-six forward scored 55 points. Of the 11 breakthrough players I have monitored, only two are no longer top-six prospects. Despite injuries and the two busts, the 11 players still averaged 42 points in their breakthrough season. It's a low risk move that will deepen your pool of productive forwards.
In 2009, my candidates for a one-way contract and a breakthrough year were Cal O'Reilly, Andrew Ebbett, Rob Schremp, and Artem Anisimov. I said to wait on Anisimov because he's big, Russian and needed another year of seasoning to produce in the NHL. The Rangers, not caring about fantasy pool numbers, stuck with the formula and put Anisimov in the NHL for the entire season where he scored 28 points in 82 games. The following season Anisimov produced good second line numbers, scoring 44 points in 82 games.
O'Reilly appeared to be ready in 2009-10, but Nashville realizing smaller players develop more slowly, gave him another two-way contract before giving him a one-way deal in 2010-11. O'Reilly managed 18 points in 38 games in his NHL breakthrough season which was cut short with a broken fibula. Had he played a full season he would have been projected to score 39 points.
Rob Schremp was signed by the Islanders in his breakthrough season and produced until he tore the meniscus in his right knee. Schremp had 25 points in 44 games (a 47 point projection) before the injury and had started to score consistently after a slow start. The Anaheim Ducks also stuck to the formula giving Andrew Ebbett a one-way contract where he played in 61 games in 2009-10 where he managed 15 points.
Although the production of these players wasn't consistent due to injuries and other factors, in each case the NHL teams stuck to the formula. It's always good to know when a team is willing to give a player every chance to succeed (a one way contract) and you can do this by keeping an eye on the AHL's leading scorers. Kris Versteeg scored 53 points in his breakthrough season while Tyler Ennis had 49, David Krejci had 73, Dustin Penner had 45, Patrick O'Sullivan had 53, Rich Peverly had 44 and Jiri Hudler had 42. One caveat is to be wary of perennial top-25 AHL scorers because they will only ever see spot duty in the NHL. In most cases if a player has two high scoring AHL seasons, do not draft him...ever. It means too many quality people question his NHL ability.
This year my candidates for a transition year are Chris Terry, Rhett Rakhshani, Bud Holloway, Tomas Tatar and Zac Dalpe
Terry scored 34 goals and 64 points in 80 games for Charlotte, Carolina's farm team. He will almost certainly see time in the NHL this season because of his AHL numbers but Carolina has a lot of prospects ahead of him so he won't see much more than 10 NHL games. Watch him closely, because although he's a 5th round pick and he's 5'10, he weighs a solid 195 pounds and scored in junior as well as the minors. Right now he's a steal. Watch his AHL numbers closely and keep an eye on his average NHL ice time next season.
Rhett Rakhshani had a solid career with Denver University in the NCAA and followed it up with 24 goals and 62 points in 66 AHL games last season. He'll get a good look with the Islanders this season (20+ games) to see if his size holds up against NHL opposition. Stay away from him if he misses more than 15 games due to injury.
Bud Holloway had 28 goals and 61 points in 78 AHL games to lead Manchester (LA's AHL affiliate) in scoring for the second year running. Like Terry, Holloway is stuck behind a tonne of prospects. At 23, Holloway won't be getting much more than 10 NHL games this season and might be too old to stick in LA. He needs a big year offensively or a trade to make himself pool- worthy. If he does get traded and is still producing, grab him.
Tomas Tatar scored seven points in one AHL game, ending last season with 57 points in 70 games. Tatar clearly has the talent and the youth (20) to succeed but might not have the size. Smaller players are always risky picks no matter how talented. Tatar will see minimal time in Detroit this season because the Red Wings develop their prospects slowly. Tatar is already a little too high profile for me at this point so don't overpay.
Unlike most on this list, Zac Dalpe has already played 15 games in the NHL. He had his AHL breakthrough year and his transition year all-in-one. Because of Carolina's depth, however, Dalpe will have yet another year shuttling back and forth between Charlotte and Raleigh. Look for Dalpe to have his breakthrough year in 2012-13, look for him to break through on the right side and look for him to break through in a relatively big way (50+ points).
Candidates for breakthrough seasons this year include Zach Boychuk, Luke Adam, David Desharnais, and Dustin Jeffrey. Although Boychuk is stuck behind Tuomo Ruutu and Eric Staal, Ruutu is long overdue for a major injury. A perennial band-aid boy, Ruutu's reckless style of play always makes him an injury risk. If he goes down at all, look for Boychuk and not Brandon Sutter to get the top-six nod. Sutter is the perfect third line center and the 'Canes have already seen what he can do there. If Ruutu misses 20 games, Boychuk could get 50 points. If Ruutu stays healthy Boychuk should get 30 and will eventually become a 70 point player.
Desharnais did really well in his call up to Montreal last season, notching 22 points in 43 games. Unfortunately, Desharnais is only 5'7 and I would never recommend picking up a player that size. If he stays injury free, Desharnais should come close to 50 points. That won't happen. He'll likely score between 25-35 points and he should be left for someone else to fret over.
Adam is in a very unfortunate position, stuck behind centers Tyler Ennis, Nathan Gerbe and Derek Roy. Gerbe, only 5'5 will likely average 65 games a season throughout his career. Roy is four inches taller with a thick frame while Ennis is small and thin but tough as nails. All three are ahead of Adam on the depth chart but Adam has real potential to be the big, top-six center the Sabres need. This won't be his year to play in the top six, but Adam has little to prove in the AHL so expect third line duty for a good chunk of this season. Pencil him in for 30+ points this year with slow progression to 75 in the next few seasons.
Jeffrey was moved to the wing which was absolutely necessary playing behind the centers in Pittsburgh. He's the poster boy for the AHL to NHL transition as he was a low draft pick who proved he could score in the AHL, was given some time in the NHL where he held his own and is now a prospect. He will absolutely get top-six time although not all season. Expect 45 points, but realize there is some Rookie of the Year potential here if he clicks with one of Pittsburgh's elite players.
Stuart McDonald said:
sentium said:
I get what you're saying that he might get sent down, but he has little left to prove at the AHL level. If he gets sent down, it will be to light a fire under his ass, in which case he gets called up again pretty swiftly. Just look at Carolina's top 12 guys, who they've signed, etc.
Skinner - Staal - Ruutu
Jokinen - Dalpe - LaRose
Poni - Sutter - Stewart
Tlusty - Brent - Dwyer
The wingers in the top six are interchangeable but there is really no one in the bottom six who is clearly a better top six option compared to Dalpe. It's his spot to lose.

@Sentium. Me putting Ennis at Center shows why I'm a prospects writer and not an NHL writer. My bad. As for Dalpe, I do think he'll see some time in the AHL, guarantee or not. Granted the Hurricanes are thin on the right side, but unless there is a major injury to Larose, Skinner or Stewart, Dalpe will spend some time in the minors. Stewart finally showed something last season and the 'Canes will give him every chance to prove it again. Either way, it's risky to expect top-six numbers from Dalpe this season.

Leanne made her West End debut in the lead role of Tracy in Hairspray, for which she won an Olivier Award. Her other theatre credits include tick, tick... BOOM! at the Union Theatre, Hairspray in Dubai, and the UK tour of the poll dancing play, The Naked Truth.

This asbestos may be found in both surfacing materials, such as fireproofing, spray on ceilings, tile floors and mastics, etc., or in thermal system insulation, such as pipe insulation and wrappings. Over the years, as renovations have occurred, a number of ACBM's have been removed or encapsulated by trained specialists.
As ACBM's are identified, they are placed on a cumulative list for periodic inspection and maintenance until removed in an abatement process. Our operations and maintenance plan is also routinely updated to provide current information for the proper care of these materials.
Asbestos has been identified by the USEPA and the State of California as a carcinogen and is a commercial term applied to a number of silicate minerals that readily separate into thin, strong, flexible fibers. Please note intact and maintained ACBM's do not create an unsafe condition unless disturbed. Drilling, boring, hammering, or otherwise disturbing ACBM's may present a health risk by causing asbestos fibers to be released where they can be inhaled or ingested.
The California Health and Safety Code requires building owners, who have knowledge of the presence of ACBM's to provide notice of this knowledge to employees and other occupants. Accordingly, a summary of ACBM's by building is attached.
We believe that immediate correction of hazardous conditions, the removal of ACBM's during future renovations and the effective use of the operations and maintenance program will provide an asbestos-safe campus environment.

Sept. 1
Ken Vandermark and Paal Nilssen-Love: Vandermark duets with Norwegian drummer Nilssen-Love, the two having collaborated in far-flung contexts through the years. Their deep familiarity with each other's disparate musical languages could yield provocative musical exchanges. 2 p.m. at the Jazz and Heritage Stage
Frank D'Rone: The great Chicago singer this year turned 80 and released arguably the best recording of his career, "Double Exposure." You'd think that would merit a slot on the main stage, but the programmers of the Chicago Jazz Festival deemed otherwise. Even so, D'Rone never should be underestimated, as he showed during a recent, brilliant run at the Jazz Showcase. 2:20 p.m. at the Jazz on Jackson Stage
Ambrose Akinmusire: The most talked-about young trumpeter in jazz — who drew wide critical praise for his 2011 Blue Note Records debut "When the Heart Emerges Glistening" — has made precious few appearances in the Chicago area. That would have made his Chicago Jazz Festival set an opportunity for the widest audience possible to hear him. But Akinmusire doesn't get a prime-time slot this time around. 3:30 p.m. at the Jazz on Jackson Stage
Resonance Ensemble: A brave booking for the Chicago Jazz Festival — which always has embraced new music, sometimes to the consternation of casual listeners — this appearance by Vandermark's Resonance Ensemble looms large. For starters, it will bring to a mainstream audience Vandermark's experiment in writing for an 11-musician contingent of innovators from Chicago and Europe. Moreover, because of the groundbreaking nature of Vandermark's work, it could take listeners to the creative edge of large-ensemble jazz composition. 6 p.m. at Petrillo Music Shell

SED Is The Next Big Thing In TV Technology
By Cliff Roth Dealerscope | Sunday | 07/08/2005
SED is set to be the next big thing in TV technology. Its a new display technology that is set to deliver better quality and lower prices.
SED The New Screen on the Block Looking for a lofty vision? A new display technology called SED promises to not only be the next big thing in flat panel hang-on-the-wall TV, but to replace and all-but-eliminate everything that has come before, by offering better picture quality at a lower price. Despite the seemingly ever-expanding array of new thin screen and projection display technologies÷plasma, LCD, DLP, LCoS, OLED, etc.÷good old-fashioned 50-year old color CRT technology remains the gold standard of picture quality. So what if you could take the front surface of a CRT-type display, using the exact same phosphors as conventional TV sets, and eliminate the depth by using a new thin-screen technology to replace the "electron gun" that makes picture tubes so deep? Youâd have the best of both worlds — a truly CRT-like picture you could hang on a wall. That's SED. Who'd Behind SED? If you've never heard of SED until now, the acronym stands for Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display — that may be because Toshiba and Canon, the two companies betting on this promising new display technology, have done very little to promote it,. That will change, because they're gearing up to make a big splash in 2007, with the first SED factory beginning production this August, in Japan. Both companies have been so hush-hush that at January's Consumer Electronics Show, journalists and editors were actually turned away from the invite-only SED demo, and not always nicely. Custom Retailer Senior Editor Joe Paone was one of the lucky ones who got a sneak preview. "It was really paranoid, cloak-and-dagger stuff with the demo, I felt like Deep Throat was going to give the pitch," he says. "They showed a 36-inch, 720p model against unidentified (likely uncalibrated), similarly-sized LCD and plasma panels. I was impressed. They scrolled the alphabet along the bottom of the screen and there were no trails or artifacts whatsoever. The whole demo lasted about 15 minutes and they hustled us out of there quickly." Other published reports by those who have seen the SED demo (it was also shown in Japan at CEATEC last year) speak in glowing terms of SED's terrific black levels and ability to show dark picture material. (Contrast ratio is claimed to be 8600:1.)
"Yes, I saw the CES demo," said Mike Mike Tsinberg, president of Key Digital Systems, a manufacturer of video switchers and processors. "I think SED is the ultimate TV display because it is the best in four categories: First, pixels are addressable, like other digital image devices such as LCD, Plasma, DLP, and DILA. Second, it uses phosphors for color. Phosphors make the best color. Third, the time decay of pixels are phenomenal. That makes SED temporal (motion) resolution the best among any display today — none are as fast as SED. Fourth, it uses 'tunneling' electrons for phosphor excitement - this takes much less power than plasma, and I believe is far more reliable." Hype for SED may not have rolled into high gear yet, but behind the scenes, the machinery is coming into place for a big time rollout. Canon and Toshiba have pledged $1.8 billion to the SED joint venture, called SED Inc.. For Canon, known for cameras, camcorders and copiers but not for displays, SED offers a chance to instantly become a substantial player in a new market. Toshiba, of course, is the up-and-coming Japanese R&D star who rocked the world a decade ago with DVD innovations rivaling Sony and Philips. SED isn't the first attempt to create a thin CRT-like display, but may be the first to succeed. Last year Canon bought up the patents for "ThinCRT" displays from a bankrupt company called Candescent, which was working on a similar FED (field emission display) technology. Candescent had already been working with Sony on FED technology. Published reports from last summer, when Sony introduced their new TV line, indicated that the company is continuing to develop this technology, but doesn't feel it's ready to market yet. The technology that Sony's working on is sometimes referred to as "CNT FED", with CNT standing for carbon nanotube, which is a slightly different electron emitter technology from that used in SED. HOW DOES SED WORK? The underlying concept behind SED is seemingly obvious. Instead of re-inventing the wheel with a whole new screen technology, start with what everybody knows and loves: The front surface of a traditional cathode ray tube (CRT). By combining this front surface with a new way of shooting electrons at it, and with the electrons at the same voltage as a CRT (about 10,000-volts) the exact same color phosphors can be used on the screen. It looks almost identical to a normal color TV screen, except that even in wide-screen configuration, it is perfectly flat. And it can hang on a wall. So how does it work? True to its Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display acronym, there is a separate electron emitter for each pixel of the display. The back of the screen is coated with metal, the positive side of a high voltage (10-kV) is applied here. The negative side of the high voltage is applied to the substrate of the electron emitter panel, which is separated from the back of the screen by a vacuum. The high voltage is not enough to arc across this vacuum. However, when low-voltage electrons from the electron-emitter panel cross an extremely thin slit (just a few nanometers wide), some of them scatter and are accelerated by the 10-kV charge, hitting the back of the screen with this high voltage charge. This triggers the colored phosphor dots on the front side of the screen to illuminate, just as in an ordinary CRT screen. The electron emitter substrate panel has a layer of ultrafine palladium oxide (PdO). This is where the microscopic slits are located÷each representing one color pixel of the image. The scattering of electrons as they cross a microscopic gap, a byproduct of the "tunneling effect," is part of the realm of nanotechnology÷the study of tiny particle science. This is the crucial aspect of SED that could not be developed 50 years ago, when CRT technology was invented.
Nanotechnology has become increasingly important as the electron pathways used in integrated circuits — such as Pentium processor chips — become ever narrower (in some cases just a few electrons wide!). In nanotechnology, the wave-like nature of atomic particles' electrons becomes a dominant aspect of their behavior. The "scattered" electrons have essentially gone astray from the path they were trying to take÷to get to the other side of the slit. This straying effect is what makes SED work. Itâs a bit like what might happen if you poured a bucket of ping pong balls into another bucket÷while most would go into the second bucket, a few of them might bounce out and scatter on the floor. Besides offering better picture quality, SED is also more energy efficient than plasma and LCD technologies, the developers say, requiring roughly one third to one half the wattage-per-lumen of comparably sized competitors. The thickness of the entire display has been reported to be less than a few centimeters, and as little as 7mm! No details regarding weight have been announced. Neither has there been any mention of how long the SED display is projected to last, which, of course, has been an issue for other display technologies. Although last January's CES demo showed a 36-inch 720p unit, the companies say there are no plans to market this pre-production prototype. Instead, their first commercial product will be a 50-inch unit with 1080p (1920 x 1080) resolution. Contrast ratio will be a whopping 8600:1. Response time — meaning how quickly an image can appear or disappear — will be just 1-millisecond. (A frame of video lasts for 33-milliseconds.) When Will SED Be Real? The first SED panels are scheduled for manufacture in August, 2005, but this will only be small-lot production of about 3,000 SED screens per month. These early units are expected to be available at retail by the beginning of 2006. Full-scale production (15,000 units per month) is set for 2007, ramping up to shipments of 3-million units by 2010. In addition to the 50-inch screen, a 40-inch unit is also planned. SED Inc.'s projections predict that SED will hold a 20 percent share of the 40-inch and larger TV market by 2010. Canon began working on the underlying concepts of SED as far back as 1986, and first signed a codevelopment agreement with Toshiba in 1999. Canon's printing and micro-fabrication technology experience will be utilized in manufacturing the large electron-emitter substrate panels, the companies say, complemented by Toshiba's expertise in phosphor-coated screens and semiconductors. With joint R&D spanning more than half a decade and barely any publicity, the companies wanted to keep the technology under wraps until they had reduced manufacturing costs to the point where it could be competitive. Price projections released by the companies indicate that by 2010, they expect the average retail price per SED screen to be under 70,000-yen (under $700 at current exchange rates). CHEAPER AND BETTER? What's so exciting and unusual about SED is that it is superior on practically every front: picture quality, price, viewing angle, and power consumption. Until now, choosing a display technology for any given home theater installation has involved going through a series of trade-offs regarding price and longevity. Now, one technology may truly blow away the competition by sheer technical superiority. Price, of course, is the key to all this: If plasma or LCD are still cheaper than SED by 2010, then all bets are off. With ever-dropping prices for these more established flat panel technologies, SED is shooting for a moving price target. Still, it would seem to have a number of inherent advantages. Articles appearing in manufacturing-oriented publications such as Nikkei Electronics Asia confirm that Toshiba and Canon have indeed developed an inexpensive fabrication process for SED. But from a pure picture-quality perspective, SED technology leverages some 50+ years of research into making the red, green, and blue color phosphors that coat the inside of the CRT picture tube. Among video aficionados, Toshiba has received praise over the years (from "gurus" such as Joe Kane) for offering outstanding CRT TV sets with excellent, temperature-correct color fidelity. If SED's lifespan proves to be anywhere near the reliability of CRT technology (which currently beats all competition for longevity), that would be yet another SED advantage, and another nail in the coffins of everything else. IMPACT ON CUSTOM The SED publicity bandwagon may not have started yet, but it will, and your customers will likely start asking about it before it becomes widely available. This is technology focused on the wide-screen high definition digital TV marketplace of 2007 and beyond, not 2005. Though SED screen sizes may get bigger, for the foreseeable future they will not compete with front projection, or even big rear projection screen sizes. Initially SED will only be available in two screen sizes — 40 and 50-inches. At first SED may still not be the most economical choice — initially, it may cost just as much or even more than comparable-size plasma or LCD models. Following the usual curve, prices will go down only after economies of scale kick in. But as SED actually becomes available beginning in early 2006, custom retailers should keep a close eye on this late-to-the-party display technology, and its progress. SED may end up stealing the show. -Cliff Roth Cliff Roth is a writer and consultant. He can be reached at email@example.com

Graphene-based ink could enable low-cost, foldable electronics
By Ben Coxworth
May 22, 2013
While we hear a lot about flexible electronics that can be gently bent, how about ones that could actually be folded up? Things like the recently-developed graphite-based paper circuits definitely show promise, but now researchers from Illinois-based Northwestern University have taken another step forward – they've created graphene-based inkjet-printable ink.
Along with its various other useful qualities, graphene is known for being highly conductive, mechanically flexible, and chemically stable. This means that relatively thin, bendy layers of the material could be used to form circuits on a wide variety of materials – if only there was a way of applying it.
While other studies have attempted to create printed graphene circuits, the Northwestern ink is reportedly 250 times more conductive than anything that has resulted from those efforts.
In order to harvest a sufficient amount of the one-atom-thick sheets of linked carbon atoms that we know as graphene, scientists have previously broken them off of materials like graphite. Doing so requires an oxidization process, however, that significantly reduces the conductivity of the resulting graphene. The oxidization can be avoided by exfoliating the graphene from the graphite, although this approach requires the use of solvents that likewise decrease conductivity.
Instead, the Northwestern scientists use ethanol and ethyl cellulose to perform the exfoliation. The process is carried out at room temperature, it doesn't affect the conductivity of the harvested graphene, and it creates little residue. The end result is a powder containing a high concentration of nanometer-sized flakes of graphene. This powder is combined with a solvent to create the ink, which can then be used in an inkjet printer.
The scientists have already used the technology to create intricate 14-nanometer-thick conductive patterns, by printing multiple layers of the ink onto a flexible substrate. Even when that substrate was "bent to a great degree," there was almost no change in the conductivity of the printed ink.
A paper on the research was recently published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters.

So Yusho went with a startup system called RestaurantConnect that doesn't have a per-reservation charge and operates in the cloud, thus eliminating the need to lease hardware. Merges said he's been happy with the service, though he acknowledged that staying away from Open Table might hurt the restaurant's visibility.
Phillips said her company has explored Open Table alternatives as well and is confident that Blackbird and the Publican attract guests on their own merits — but she's reluctant to abandon that network and its dedicated followers, who are rewarded for using the service with a program that gives them 100 points per regular reservation, with 2,000 points meriting a $20 dining check to be used at any Open Table restaurant. (A restaurant also can pay Open Table to award 1,000 points for a reservation, giving the diner more incentive to eat there.)
Ian Goldberg, vice president of the Boka Restaurant Group (Boka, Girl & the Goat, GT Fish & Oyster, Balena and Perennial Virant), expressed similar concerns.
"I don't know how many restaurants would want to gamble not to use the service because I think a lot of people are going online and checking it out, and if they don't see your restaurant, they might not go," Goldberg said, estimating that Open Table accounts for 50 to 60 percent of his restaurants' reservations. "It definitely costs the business money, but we think it's money well spent."
Shepherd said the average bill per diner at an Open Table restaurant is $42.50, so the businesses are seeing a return on their investment. For a typical restaurant, she added, if the service results in a 5 percent increase in business, it pays for itself.
"Every incremental seat that we can help a restaurant fill helps increase their profitability," Shepherd said, also noting that diners can make or change Open Table reservations at any time of the day, adding convenience and enabling restaurants to invest less labor in staffing the phones.
More and more of those seats are being filled online as people grow increasingly reliant on their computers, tablets and smartphones. Stegner's restaurant has an older demographic than many in the city, so she estimates that 20-25 percent of Prairie Grass's reservations are being made via Open Table, but she's still paying more for the service each year because that percentage (and thus the number of reservations charges) keeps rising.
Phillips said about 60 percent of Blackbird and Publican customers are now booking online.
"Less and less people are phoning the restaurant and making a reservation," she said. "It's all about convenience. I think that 60 percent could grow into 70 percent or down the road 80 percent."
As that online business increases, Phillips and other restaurateurs would like their reservations-system options to do the same.
"I think competition is always good, and I'm interested to see where these companies can go to challenge Open Table and whether loyal diners will break out and follow these other companies," Phillips said.
Open Table founder Templeton, who left the company in 2004 and now is managing director of the socially conscious startup incubator Impact Engine in Chicago, acknowledged that Open Table will have to keep evolving to stave off new players in the crowded restaurant field.
"At some point their current product is going to run out of runway," Templeton said.
In the meantime, for old times' — and bottom lines' — sake, restaurants would love for you to pick up the phone every once in a while.
"I love the personal touch of answering the phone and talking to someone and giving that hospitality that you can never do over the Internet," Merges said. "I think it's important to have that really great human interaction. But one cannot deny the Internet."

The AX-8 EVO is the new top of the range in fibre, destined for professional cross use, created on the basis of the AX-8 and further enhanced thanks to the cooperation with the AGV riders of the European Cross, Enduro and Supermotard championships, like David Philippaerts, Deny Philippaerts, Gautier Paulin, Dawid Ciucci, Davide Gozzini, Maurizio Magherini and Andrea Cervellin and of the American SuperCross championship, like Travis Pastrana and Davi Millsaps. The AX-8 EVO consolidates the presence of AGV in the world of professional cross, thanks to a product with extremely original design and top class technical features.
The design is in pure AGV style, with an important family feeling in the design of the front vents and rear extractors, reminiscent of those of the road range and of the MT-X. The helmet is very different from the other proposals on the market today, thanks to a chin guard with an immediate aesthetic impact, characterised by a big steel grid to protect the very aggressive front air vent an element which allows the AX-8 EVO to be instantly recognisable during races and regardless of the helmet graphics and race conditions.

Commission green lights first phase of Oregon Clean Fuels Program
By Christina Williams
Sustainable Business Oregon editor
Oregon's Environmental Quality Commission voted Friday to take the first step toward a clean fuel standard in the state by implementing a data-collection phase.
Oregon's Environmental Quality Commission voted four to one Friday to start the first phase of the Clean Fuels Program, an effort to stimulate the use of more low-carbon transportation fuels that was put in motion by the Oregon Legislature in 2009.
During phase one of the program Oregon fuel producers and importers will keep records and report to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality on the volumes and carbon intensities of the fuels they provide in Oregon.
The second phase of the program, which will begin after further study and structuring, will likely begin in 2015.
In the second phase fule businesses will be required to reduce the carbon content of those fuels by using more biofuel-type content. The ultimate goal of the program is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 10 percent from 2010 levels.
Last week, a coalition of businesses that oppose the Clean Fuels Program, formed to voice their concerns which include higher prices and burdensome regulations.
There is also concern that a similar program enacted in California is facing a lawsuit which questions the use of low-carbon requirements as interference with interstate commerce.
Jana Gastellum, climate protection program director for the Oregon Environmental Council, pointed out that the California Air Resources Board is continuing to move forward with its program despite the lawsuit — and that the state is starting to see results.
"I think that's telling," she said.
A group of businesses, including alternative fuels companies ZeaChem and SeQuential-Pacific Biodiesel, formed a coalition and launched a website in favor of the Clean Fuels Program this week called Clean Fuels Now.

(Family Features) For the millions of Americans traveling over the holidays, the details of planning and pulling off a trip can make the season anything but jolly. Fortunately, you can take some of the hassle out of holiday travel by planning - and shipping - ahead.
Instead of lugging gifts on an airplane or having gifts take up space in the car, consider shipping them to your destination ahead of time. Here are a few tips to keep in mind before sending your gifts on their way:
If you don't have the time or proper packaging supplies, or just need some help preparing gifts for shipment, you can take them to certified packing experts at The UPS Store and take advantage of their Pack & Ship Guarantee.
You can avoid long lines at the post office - The UPS Store has extended hours during the holidays and also offers USPS services.
Last-Minute Shipping Dates (for delivery on Monday, Dec. 24)
To cut down on baggage fees and time in line at the airport, you may want to think about shipping your luggage. There are several ways you can do this: shipping a suitcase as-is; packing and shipping a suitcase in a box; or purchasing a luggage box instead of using a suitcase.
By putting luggage in a box, you can protect your luggage and provide a good surface for a shipping label.
Here are some helpful tips for packing and shipping your luggage:
The average weight of an empty suitcase is 10 pounds. To reduce weight - and shipping costs - skip the suitcase, and pack your clothes and other items directly in a sturdy box. Select The UPS Store locations now offer two sizes of luggage boxes that can replace a suitcase. A large luggage box weighs about 4 pounds and a small box about 3 pounds.
Both boxes meet airline baggage restrictions, so you could take them on your flight instead of suitcases, if you wish. The small box can be carried on, and the large box can be checked in without assessing an additional oversize charge.
With a little forethought and a bit of planning, a few proactive steps can help ensure your holiday travel goes smoothly. To learn more about rates and your best holiday shipping options, use the online cost calculator at www.theupsstore.com.
Minimize travel hassles by doing some prep work before you leave town.
Due to FAA restrictions, you cannot ship hazardous materials, including colognes and perfumes, aerosol sprays, nail polish and cigarette lighters via air service.
There are two good rules of thumb to follow to avoid shipping hazardous materials:

Imagine what the reaction would be if Noah's Ark suddenly appeared on the Thames River, sailing toward London.
If Johan Huibers has his way, that is exactly what will happen. He has written authorities in London for permission to dock his full-size, 3,000-ton (3048 m. ton), 450-foot (137 m) version of Noah's Ark during the 2012 Olympic Games.
Mr. Huibers first gained international attention four years ago after completing his first "miniature" Ark (measuring 230 feet [70 m] long).1 This time he built an even bigger Ark, with an even bigger vision for challenging skeptical Europeans by showing the reasonableness of the Bible's account about the Flood and Noah.
The 60-year-old builder from the Netherlands has dreamed of this day for nearly two decades. The new ship, docked near Rotterdam, took three years to complete.
Unlike Noah's Ark, however, it was built on a steel frame.2

Company has created a new wholly owned subsidiary, Microsoft Open Technologies, that will focus on working with the open-source community.
For cloud computing to go mainstream, interoperability is key. A new open-source project from Red Hat called Deltacloud aims to bridge the gaps.
The most active standards work in cloud computing is not actually around image portability or mobility, but in allowing cloud operations tools to interface with multiple public and private clouds.
There is tremendous excitement in the market about what the world will look like with "cloud interoperability" standards, such as image portability and mobility. How much of that is easier said than done, however?
This spring has seen an explosion of activity around cloud-computing interoperability. What exactly is cloud interoperability, and who are some of the major players in this market making capability?
A group of tech company giants thinks that there's benefit in linking together content from multiple virtual worlds.
Microsoft is dragging its feet toward interoperability with open file formats in the U.K., and hopes that a discount will distract people from the real issue at hand.
Wi-Fi is key to mobile operators' wireless broadband strategies and major carriers are uniting to ensure interoperability standards.
As an industry we are terrible at working on interoperability. The open-source world should be the one to fix this.
Open source makes the most sense for enterprises. Why? Because if they want to interoperate with their own code, they need code that is extensible, permeable...open.

In private cars, it has become more and more common lately – the clever function that stops the car engine as the car stops at, for example, a stop light. Yes, we are of course talking about the Start/Stop function. But the novelty is that Volvo Penta now introduces Start/Stop functionality for industrial engines – and helps operators reduce fuel with up to an impressive 5% – or more.
With the introduction of a number of new engine variants, Volvo Penta can now offer the mining industry a complete range of engines approved for underground mining applications. The selection of nine Tier 2 engines and nine Tier 4i engines – which provide outstanding ventilation rates – enable manufacturers and users of mining equipment to make the perfect Volvo Penta engine choice.
Today, operators of industrial machines and equipment strive to increase engine uptime. Every stop, even planned ones, means extra costs and a loss of income. However, with a quick oil analysis, performed regularly, operators can now extend the periods between the service occasions. This service from Volvo Penta takes the operators one step closer to the dream of their life – the one of the perpetual motion machine.
Volvo Penta´s marine drive system IPS has been awarded Best Innovation 2012 by the International Powerboat Association (UIM).
Sandvik Mining has selected Volvo Penta engines for its underground vehicles for the global mining industry. Engines meet Tier 4i/Stage IIIB emission standards and reduce fuel and ventilation costs.
Volvo Penta is providing the engines, drives and Dynamic Positioning Systems for a new class of support vessels for America's Cup.
This summer the MTS Duandra was launched in Benelux as the world's first semi-hybrid inland waterway tanker built by Shipyard Trico B.V. This ship uses Volvo Penta diesel engines for both propulsion and generator set that helps to reduce emissions significantly.
When the Italian leading boat magazine Vela e Motore appointed the prize Barca dell'anno (Boat of the Year) for 2012 – 11th edition, it was Volvo Penta power in four of five categories.
Volvo Penta's recently launched new V8-380 sterndrive engine has been awarded a prestigious IBEX Innovation Award.
Lättare, renare, snabbare, starkare och med ett vikt-/effektförhållande i absolut världsklass. Inför årets säsong lanserar Volvo Penta en ny toppmodern generation av V8-bensinmotorer som är laddad med prestanda och ny teknik – och som med god marginal möter EPA:s nya Tier 3-krav.

Health Policy and Technology
Our Office of Health Policy and Technology provides policy development, research, analysis, project implementation, and thought leadership related to the impact of information technology on the efficacy of public-sector programs — and on the health outcomes of those they serve.
Our health policy and technology team offers support for developing the strong infrastructure that is essential for health information technology, such as the following:
- Electronic medical records
- Health information exchanges
- Health insurance exchanges
- Integrated eligibility systems
- All-payer claims databases
These essential components have the potential to improve our health care system and support state and national health reform efforts. Our team addresses technical and policy obstacles to implementing health information technology, with the goal of helping you drive health care transformation through the widespread adoption of these technologies.
Our key focus areas include the following:
- Applying policy research and supporting program implementation at the intersection of health information technology and public-sector health care delivery
- Evaluating the outcomes — including cost, quality, and access — of using health information technologies
- Helping public sector agencies use health information technology, health insurance exchange, and health information exchange to achieve results
- Improve effectiveness
- Measure and improve program quality
- Promote transparency and value
- Disseminating information about health policy and technology changes to relevant parties
- State and national leaders, by issuing reports, speaking to the media, and presenting at meetings of industry leaders
Leading development of health insurance exchanges in New England and beyond
We were one of seven public organizations nationally — and the only state university — to receive an Early Innovator grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. After receiving the $35.6 million award, we established the New England States Collaborative for Insurance Exchange Systems (NESCIES). This project supports health care reform through the creation of reusable health insurance exchange information technology components for the new Massachusetts health insurance exchange system that can be leveraged by other states that are developing their own exchanges.
To implement the NESCIES project, our team collaborates with two Massachusetts state agencies: the Executive Office of Health and Human Services and the Health Connector, which operates the current health insurance exchange for the state. We are responsible for all aspects of developing the state's new exchange. For example, we have hired 200 developers through our IT contractor, CGI, and are now overseeing that team's effort to develop the technical system necessary for the exchange.

- Moral Issues in Education
- Culturally Responsive Teaching
- Human Development
- Interpreting and Applying Educational Research I
- Interpreting and Applying Educational Research II
Reading and Language Arts Core
- Foundations of Reading Instruction (3)

Elective Requirement
One three-credit elective at the 6000-level is required in this program. You may add other courses if you wish to pursue a particular area of interest.
Practicum Experience
The practicum experience is designed to give you an opportunity to apply the knowledge that you have gained in a classroom setting. It also meets several of the state competencies for the Reading endorsement.
Within this course, you will:
- Complete an independent field experience in literacy instruction. You will develop and teach a unit plan, and your course instructor will formally observe as you teach a minimum of two lessons from that unit.
- Submit a portfolio that documents your ability to have a positive impact on student learning, as well as your knowledge and teaching skills in the Reading endorsement area.
Some students may choose to complete the Reading Endorsement following completion of the MEd in Literacy, in which case students would replace the practicum with a 3-credit elective at the 6000-level.
Comprehensive Examination
The Comprehensive Examination is a tool to help synthesize and apply the information you have gained throughout the course of study. Most students take the exam during the last quarter of coursework or the quarter following. In order to take the Comprehensive Examination, you must have completed all of the required courses in the program.
Master's Thesis
A thesis is not required for this degree but is an elective option. It is a good choice for those intending to apply to a doctoral program or who have a comprehensive project pending at the district level, which will require quantitative or qualitative analysis.
Program Schedule
This program is designed to be completed within two years, including Summer Sessions. You must complete all requirements for the degree within six years.
Program Requirements
The MEd in Literacy is a rigorous, 48-credit program.
To complete the program, you will be required to:
- Hold a current teaching certificate.
- Complete coursework with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
- Complete all coursework prior to beginning a practicum experience.
- Complete a practicum experience.
- Pass a Comprehensive Examination during the last quarter of coursework or the quarter following.
- Complete a master's thesis (elective option).
Suggested Course Sequence
Your Eight-Quarter Plan may be customized to meet your needs.
MEd in Literacy Plus Reading Endorsement
Adding the Reading endorsement to your MEd degree requires passing the WEST-E exam in Reading and a successful pedagogy assessment in the practicum experience.
MEd in Literacy Plus Teacher Certification
This option combines the required coursework for the MEd in Literacy with the required coursework (and internship experiences) for a Washington state Residency Teacher Certificate. The certification component is designed to be completed on a part-time basis over a two-year period through the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program. Following certification, your MEd in Literacy can be completed in approximately one additional year (see suggested course sequence in Elementary Certification; see suggested course sequence for P-12 or Secondary Certification).
If you are interested in this program, you should select the Literacy (MEd with Teacher Certification) option on your application to indicate that you are seeking certification along with the MEd in Literacy.

My daily commute is 120 miles round trip. I need an SUV to travel the interstate in bad weather, especially in snow. I also need luxury, high mileage, blind spot monitoring, a backup camera and hands-free calling. I'd like a nice CD player as well.
Two strong candidates for your driveway are the Lexus RX 450h and new-for-2013 Audi Q5 Hybrid. The all-wheel-drive Lexus RX 450h hybrid has EPA ratings of 32/28 mpg city/highway, and the Q5 Hybrid with standard AWD is rated at 24/30 mpg.
Both offer luxury and the features you desire, including a blind spot monitor, rearview camera, hands-free phone operation and a premium sound system. The 450h has a 3.5-liter V-6 engine, and the Q5 has a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder; both require premium gas, which offsets some of the money that the hybrid systems will save.
Other luxury SUVs that offer the same features include the non-hybrid Q5, which at a starting price of $35,900 is $15,000 less than the hybrid version, the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque and the Mercedes-Benz ML350 Bluetec diesel. The EPA ratings on those three models are 20/28 mpg, which aren't great compared to many sedans but are among the higher ratings for luxury SUVs.

Location: Blue Lake
Humboldt County Sheriff's Deputies arrested a juvenile early this morning in connection with a commercial burglary in Blue Lake. After receiving multiple reports of burglaries in Blue Lake the past few nights, Sheriff's Deputies conducted foot patrols last night in downtown Blue Lake. Shortly after 1:00 this morning, deputies heard noise coming from a restaurant that had been burglarized the night before. As two deputies approached, three subjects ran out of the business. Deputies pursued the three suspects who split up. One suspect was taken into custody. Upon further investigation, deputies were able to determine the possible identifications of the two other suspects, both of whom are juveniles.
The suspect who was taken into custody was also a juvenile. That suspect was arrested for burglary, possession of burglary tools, and resisting or obstructing a peace officer. The juvenile was transported to Humboldt County Juvenile Hall.
The investigation is continuing. Deputies are processing evidence from earlier burglaries in Blue Lake to determine if the cases are related.

Narrator: This is Science Today. There's a tendency to regard today's society as being more on the move and less rooted, geographically, than our great-grandparents were. But historical records indicate the opposite. Claude Fischer, a sociologist at the University of California, Berkeley, says the major reason people moved in the past was because of financial constraints.
Fischer: Farm failed or there were too many people trying to live off the same farm or factory closed down or somebody got flooded out - or people just had economic hard times. They would move from place to place - whether it's from Europe to the United States or within the United States.
Narrator: But Fischer says a lot of those economic pressures have eased as we've become a more affluent and mobile society.
Fischer: Back in the 19th Century, when commuting meant walking basically, if your new job was more than two miles away, you probably would move. Today somebody can change jobs, fifty miles may not make a difference one way or the other, so it's easier to go from job to job today if you stay in the same metropolitan area and stay in the same neighborhood.Narrator: For Science Today, I'm Larissa Branin.
