RESEARCH ANALYSIS: Review of electronic braking systems
By Matthew Beecham | 8 June 2009
Baffling terms such as ABS, ASR, BAS, EBD, EMD, ESP and TCS bound back and forth in brake engineering circles. But it's a foreign language to many. Do drivers really understand this braking technology, let alone know how to use it to best effect? Matthew Beecham releases just-auto's annual review of electronic braking technology.
While ABS prevents vehicle wheels from locking during braking, and traction control stops the wheels from spinning on acceleration, ESP reduces the risk of skidding in all traffic situations. Although ESP is already standard equipment on many luxury cars, an increasing number of mid-range and small-cars are being fitted with the unit as optional fitment. ABS provides a case study in how advanced electronic systems can rapidly filter down to mass-market vehicle segments. When Bosch produced the first ever ABS in 1978, it weighed in at just over 6 kilograms. Today, Bosch offers ABS units weighing 1.4 kilograms. The latest ABS technology also operates considerably faster and offers greater levels of safety.
The next frontier
Bosch has described vehicle safety as the 'next frontier for automotive electronics'. "Our premise is simple - vehicle safety is the next frontier for automotive electronics," said Jason Forcier, president North America, automotive electronics, Robert Bosch LLC. "Active safety technologies like forward collision warning, predictive braking and lane departure warning are helping to improve a driver's safety by completely avoiding or decreasing the severity of crashes." According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), vehicle-related fatalities in the US have remained constant for nearly a decade at approximately 40,000 deaths per year. Advancements in vehicle safety, designed to help reduce that alarming statistic, hinge on the research and development of advanced electronic technologies. "In addition to innovation, collaboration is essential for advancing safety," said Forcier. "The industry - automakers and suppliers - legislators, regulators and consumer advocacy groups must work in unison to achieve technology neutral legislation and a common understanding among consumers of the benefits of these safety technologies."
Yet are consumers really all that interested in braking technology? As long as their vehicle brakes in a manner they expect, surely they are not interested in how the technology actually works? "Consumers do appreciate the benefits of Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and other electronic brake technologies but are probably not very interested or knowledgeable in how this technology works," said Vince Austin, director, product planning for Global Braking Systems, TRW. "Consumers only appear to be interested in the benefits and reliability of these systems. As far as consumer preference for base braking goes, the traditional hydraulic system with booster/master cylinder has become so familiar in terms of brake feel that it is difficult to give consumers something that feels radically different. Thus the brake systems that are being developed that provide brake boost independent of engine vacuum cannot feel too artificial and require some sort of simulated brake feel that consumers are used to. The bottom line is they just want the brakes to stop the car effectively - and quickly if needed. But if the advantages of having electronic braking can be better understood - such as improved fuel economy in the case of regenerative systems - or the many advantages of being able to integrate with other chassis and driver assist systems for greater levels of vehicle comfort, control and safety, then a premium price might be possible."
Push button braking
A vehicle fitted with an electric parking brake puts an end to driving with the handbrake on or parked vehicles rolling away. In fact, electrically-operated parking brakes are becoming more common in new cars as manufacturers seek to save space and money by abandoning the traditional handbrake lever in the interior, plus the cables, linkages and mechanical adjusters beneath the car. Electric parking brakes (EPB) are typically operated by a button on the dashboard which operates an electric motor to actuate the brake cables.
There are two common types of EPB. Either a drive unit activates the cable, or an electric motor on each of the two rear-axle brake calipers applies the brake. In the second method, the cable and servo motor are no longer required. In addition to the hydraulic brake cable on the brake caliper, only an electric cable that transfers data and power is needed for connection to the separate control unit.
Five or six years ago, EPB systems were treated as independent technologies. Nowadays, it appears the theme is very much centred on integrated, combined electronic braking systems. "To comply with vehicle safety requirements, integrated systems are necessary," said Alan Botham, product development engineer, Dura Automotive. "Stand-alone systems used as back-up systems can be independent, but must share some integration to main vehicle networks. With DA [direct actuation] systems, braking management is more integrated, where the EPB function is only used for parking application and no dynamic application [normally managed through ABS system]. EPB systems can also be integrated with combined electronic braking systems."
So could light commercial vehicles use electric brakes? "Providing disc or drum-in-hat brakes are used, EPB system can be incorporated," added Botham. "Cable puller and DA systems would need to be specified to the obvious higher load requirements demanded of commercial vehicle GVW. Commercial delivery vehicles could benefit from EPB from a safety / roll-away aspect, although high stop-start cycles may be a limiting performance factor for some EPB's. Dura supplied EPB back-up system for Ford Transit for delivery vehicles."
Last March, TRW unveiled its integrated Electric Park Brake (EPBi) system, marking a further development of its EPB technology. EPBi removes the requirement for a separate electronic control unit due to its integration with the electronic stability control system. The company points out that its latest system is a fully integrated part of the braking system, which makes four wheel anti-lock braking functionality possible during emergency braking. EPB and EPBi includes additional functions such as Drive Away Assist, automatic hill hold and electronically controlled deceleration - features which are not available with conventional mechanical park brake systems. TRW launched its EPB in 2002 and now produces some 1.5 million units annually. TRW expects its EPBi system to enter production in 2011.
Braking by wire
Overall, the path towards brake-by-wire in the automotive industry has not been all that smooth. Presumably, brake-by-wire will only be successful if it can meet market needs, namely performance, quality and cost. Yet are OEM customers willing to pay extra given the current architecture? "First, it's important to clarify 'brake-by-wire' architectures as we know them today," said Austin. "Systems currently in the field are 'brake-by-wire' from a Brake Control perspective, but the wheel-end service brakes remain hydraulically actuated. TRW's first-to-market EPB is the closest product to an electric actuated wheel-end brake. There is no question there needs to be a value proposition for both the customer and the consumer if they are going to pay a premium for brake-by-wire. One area of potential interest to the customer and consumer would be reliability of the system. As brake NVH tends to be the number one reason consumers bring their cars to the dealership, if brake-by-wire could virtually eliminate these complaints, improve reliability and significantly cut warranty costs, this would be a possible advantage for customer and consumer alike."
Executives of Continental's Chassis & Safety division told us: "Vehicle manufacturers and system suppliers play an important role, with each contributing their own expertise. The vehicle manufacturer knows which requirements dominate the market and also knows the end consumer and where the demand lies. They are therefore willing to pay into new technologies. It is precisely now, when we expect incentives to buy new cars, for example driver assistance systems can add long-term value to new vehicles. Or, in plain terms: by installing driver assistance systems, a car manufacturer can show that it is different from its competitors."
Tomorrow's brakes
In terms of tomorrow's electronic braking systems, Continental executives see further integration of functions and components as one of the key drivers in electronic brake systems. "Already state-of-the-art is the integration of several additional vehicle control functions such as our Full Speed Range ACC or the integration of inertial sensors like acceleration or yaw rate into the electronic brake system control unit. In the near future, the current separate electronics for the electric barking brake will be integrated. Safety functions in the scope of ContiGuard will lead to extensive functional integration into the future electronic brake system."
As far as emerging trends in electronic braking systems are concerned, Austin concludes that the increasing usage of direct injection, turbo-charging, diesel and hybrid engine architectures is resulting in a much lower availability of engine vacuum to assist with braking force. Therefore, the traditional booster/master cylinder configuration in many cases is no longer viable and a different solution must be presented. He said: "TRW already produces its Slip Control Boost stability control system that offers its own electro-hydraulic generated boost independent of engine vacuum - it is being used on General Motors full-size hybrids that offer the dual-mode hybrid system and works seamlessly with the regenerative braking system on these vehicles. In this case, it is a great blend of safety and fuel savings. We are also working on other solutions for the low vacuum challenge, such as using our premium ESC system with six piston pump that can build and deliver (via hydraulic boost) high pressure brake applies when demanded. This system can offer the brake pressure demand across a variety of vehicle architectures without the need to significantly redesign the brake system."

2007 BMW 3 Series Coupe 328xi 2dr Coupe AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
After 18 months I traded my 2006 BMW 325i (rear wheel drive). I felt the need for all wheel drive, considering the fact that N.Y.C sometimes have unexpected snow storms. My wife and I decided to get the 2007 328xi coupe w/nav in Monaco blue w/beige leather interior. We just loved how beautiful this car looked and it was very comfortable with the sport seats. Surprisingly not a significant difference in power from the 325i 215 hp to 328xi 230 hp nevertheless we love it.
I drive, sport seats and wheels, exterior design, interior design, lights, and ds mode
ditch the run flats.
For my first luxury car this was a great car to pick it packs a lot in for such a low cpo price with worry free warranty and still free maintenance for another year and a half. The car rides like a dream and with all the options you really can never be disappointed. Love the handling and control it gives at high speed is phenomenal. Love the awd system and the pickup great. Switching from sport and comfort modes makes you feel like you are driving 2 completely different cars. This is the first car I have ever bought that I haven't felt I wish I had gotten this or that. Well to be perfectly honest I do say I wish I have gotten the 335 the power is addicting.
Bluetooth the very accurate navigation speed sensitive steering and awd system
a/c seats no run flat tires and a sport and comfort adjustable suspension
What a great car. Super smooth on NY roads when compared to my old 2003 Nissan maxima. Great curb appeal in and out. Plenty of options to choose from. Really a drivers car. Love the idrive system
sport mode transmission really gives you a little extra when you crave more power
ditch the run flat tires and include spares
After actually ordering a car for the first time I was very excited to own the "ultimate driving machine". However it became the ULTIMATE NIGHTMARE. The tapping noise the engine made should never happen on a premium car like this. It became a battle to have BMW admit to it and have it fixed. They are well aware of the problem yet still sell new cars with this defect. My car was damaged at the dealer trying to have this repair done and this was a result of BMW not standing behind their product. These cars are overpriced and overrated.
Handling, Looks
BMW should have these engines repaired before being sold to the consumer. Overpriced.
My first BMW, had owned Mazdaspeed6, Infiniti G20. Very handsome car inside and out, premium materials inside. Loved it - until driving over NJ potholes. On 3 separate occasions, I hit a modest (not gigantic) pothole, and my can of soda went flying out of the holder, hit the ceiling, then fell to the floor spilling on the carpet. Incredibly frustrating, ride is way too stiff! During service at BMW dealer, I mentioned this to the manager. He told me it was a very common complaint with the new generation coupe. This was originally a $46k car, which I got for a steal at $32k with 18k miles. Despite my great deal, I sold the car after 4 months of ownership, I couldn't drive it on NJ roads
Styling, panache, solid construction
Ride on the coupe is way way too stiff regarding potholes, and this is not an issue on the comparable sedan model. Why is that? Tune the coupe suspension better!

And NS takes a dump. Sort of like being at Six Flags on the Screaming Eagle.
Look at the source of this downgrade (The Motley Fool), They're about as reliable as Jim Crammer.
I don't think I've ever seen a less reliable analyst as the Motley Fool
The downgrade was by Credit Suisse and was very specific in nature - the cancellation of an acquisition which was going to help them get back to 1.0 distribution coverage. So now the possibility of a distribution cut has increased.
My take is that the company had buried the news of the termination of the agreement in their 10-K and until Credit Suisse highlighted it, hardly anyone was even aware of it. So the plunge was as much due to the news as due to the downgrade. Since it was in the 10-K buried on page 46 or somewhere nearabouts, the company had clearly known about it for a few weeks but not thought it necessary to make any announcement. Pretty shoody treatment of unitholders by management, if you ask me. That would also be a good reason to sell.
Source: Credir Suisse downgraded it to underperform an distribution may be at risk.

Oscar Talk: Ep. 67 -- 'Shame' and NC-17, documentary feature discussion and the weekend's releases
Welcome to Oscar Talk.
In case you're new to the site and/or the podcast, Oscar Talk is a weekly kudocast, your one-stop awards chat shop between yours truly and Anne Thompson of Thompson on Hollywood. The podcast is weekly, every Friday throughout the season, charting the ups and downs of contenders along the way. Plenty of things change en route to Oscar's stage and we're here to address it all as it unfolds.
We're in the dog days of late October, those pre-November moments when the lull is palpable and we're waiting for the next films and moments to step out into the spotlight for us to chew on and devour. So it was kinda/sorta tough to come up with a rundown worth discussing this week, but we tried. So, let's see what's on the docket today…
The "news" of the week, though it really wasn't news, given that we were expecting it, was the NC-17 rated extended to Steve McQueen's "Shame." We discuss the MPAA, whether it was warranted rating and what it means for Oscar. (NOTE: I said "distributors" but I meant "exhibitors.")
There was a lot of documentary talk this week, with the International Documentary Association and Cinema Eye Honors handing out their list of nominees. We use it as a springboard into what we do know about the documentary feature category so far.
Then there are the films releasing this weekend. The limited players include "Anonymous" and "Like Crazy" while the wider releases include "The Rum Diary" and "In Time." We discuss.
And finally, reader questions. This week we address queries about the likelihood of actors receiving multiple Oscars to one actor, the very tight top tier of the lead actress category and what films are likely to become the critical darlings along the circuit this year.
Have a listen to the new podcast below with the trailer for "The Rum Diary" leading the way. If the file cuts off for you at any time, try the back-up download link at the bottom of this post. And as always, remember to subscribe to Oscar Talk via iTunes here.

COLUMBUS, Ga. — Officials say a high school principal has been reassigned after a comedian's "Can't Fix Stupid" routine drew complaints from teachers after it was shown during a faculty meeting.
The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer reports that Muscogee County Superintendent Susan Andrews reassigned Columbus High School Principal Marvin Crumbs.
School district spokeswoman Valerie Fuller said Crumbs showed the video as a "morale booster" during an after-school faculty meeting April 9. The video Fuller says teachers were shown features the comedian discussing female anatomy and plastic surgery. It concludes by saying there's one deficiency no pill or operation can repair: "You can't fix stupid... Stupid is forever."
Fuller said Crumbs will be working in "the department of academics" in a public education center. Crumbs could not be reached by the Ledger-Enquirer or The Associated Press.

While many would expect lines out the door of the post office, it was just another regular day for USPS workers. The usual lunch rush came through the doors Monday afternoon at both the Clarkston and Lewiston offices but Postmaster Rick Glessner said there wasn't the usual April 15th mad rush like they've seen in the past.
"The last few years we haven't been staying open late mainly because they're either mailing them earlier then they have been previously or they're filing them online," said Glessner.
Both the Clarkston office and the Lewiston offices are not extending their hours Monday. Clarkston closed at 5 o'clock and Lewiston closed at 5:15. Monday is the last day to file your taxes but you can file for an extension, however the deadline for filing that is Monday as well.

CIS United: Building Community 漢基一家人 will be the theme. The Fair will be open to the public and entry is free. More information at www.cisfair.com.
Campus Diary
The Board of Governors has appointed Sean Lynch to succeed Dr. Ted Faunce as the next Headmaster of CIS from August 2018.
There are two G20 meetings taking place in Hangzhou in 2016, and Hangzhou CIS is playing a role in both of them.
Watch improv group "Popular Demand" performing at the IBDP Art Exhibition, and get a double dose of student talent on view in March.
You know that CIS students study Chinese...but did you know they also teach Chinese?
During her month at CIS, artist-in-residence Julia Vogl expanded our notion of art.
CIS is not just a school my kids attend to develop skills for a challenging world - but a community that I fully entrust with their education and wellbeing.
── Jean DeSombre, President, CISPTA
Distinctly CIS
Well-read, thoughtful, nice-looking and bilingual...Let us introduce you to XiaoHua, our twice-yearly student magazine that has won kudos from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. XiaoHua grew out of a Year 11 Personal Project and offers a lively window on campus life and student concerns. View it online or Contact Us for a hard copy.
Students learn early on about their distinctive character strengths. The aim is to give each student a solid base from which to tackle life's challenges. This is just one way CIS strives for all children to flourish through Positive Education (正向教育).
"We come from the East, we come from the West...互相學習,相得益彰". On Monday mornings you'll hear the strains of the school song, written by CIS's first headmaster and first music teacher. While just a modest ditty, it's had staying power, reminding us of our origins and the simple idea that "we learn from each other, and that way is best".
You'll want to remember these three women. They're CIS's co-founders: Joyce Tai, Nelly Fung and Kin-yue Fu. We thank them for what they started, and we thank them for the example they set - because anyone who knows schools knows it takes smarts, determination and principles to bring such a vision to fruition.
Our beloved mascot is rather young. An outgrowth of a Year 11 student project, the Phoenix was chosen by popular vote in 2010, took visual shape in 2011, and was reborn in 2013 in 3D, based on drawings by a then-Year 1 student. The Phoenix is now our emblem of school spirit and student initiative. Follow the progress of our Phoenix sports teams and other groups at our Order of the Phoenix Facebook page.
Our school name reflects our multilingualism. To many we're "CIS", while to others we're known as 漢基 - "Han Ji" - the name that highlights our Chinese foundations and features in our school logo...and then there's the name you'll want to use when riding the mini-bus to school: "Hon Gei!"

Green voters to see renewal levy in May
District also approves plan to use 'blizzard bags'
GREEN — Green Local School District officials are asking voters to approve the renewal of a five-year, $4.1 million emergency levy.
The Green Board of Education voted unanimously Feb. 3 to place the issue on the May 6 Primary Election ballot. There was no discussion on the levy at the meeting.
The levy, first approved by voters in 2009, costs the owner of a $100,000 home $185 annually and raises $4.1 million annually for general operations, according to district Treasurer Eydie Snowberger. Snowberger stressed the renewal levy is not a new tax or an increase.
Also at the meeting, the board approved a resolution adopting a Calamity Day Alternative Make-up Plan.
According to the resolution, the "blizzard bag" plan involves an online learning plan allowing students to complete classroom lesson assignments on days when school is canceled due to inclement weather. The lessons would be posted on the district's website for students, and those without computer access would receive hard copies of their assignments at school. All work would be due two weeks later.
The lessons would be developed by teachers to equal or exceed classroom instruction, and the work would be graded, according to Superintendent Jeffrey Miller. He added the Green Education Association has approved the plan.
Miller said the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) has been communicating with school districts regarding this plan, which was established through the Ohio Revised Code to allow students to complete classroom work for up to three days of instruction in excess of the five days permitted off as calamity days instead of using make-up days.
District officials added that ODE permits the use of "blizzard bags" when school is closed due to disease epidemic, hazardous weather conditions, law enforcement emergencies, inoperability of schools buses or other equipment, damage to a school building or other temporary circumstances due to utility failure rendering the school building unfit for use.
Green Local Schools has used eight calamity days as of Feb. 5. The "blizzard bags" can be used for three of these calamity days, according to Julie McMahan, director of communication and community relations for the district.
"It is critical to the success of our students that we give them the ability to continue to receive information in instruction even when school is closed," said Miller. "We feel this is the best plan to ensure the students have access to the coursework they need during the regular school calendar without having to add hours onto days or make up [missed] days in the summer."
Miller said the district's "blizzard bag" plan will be submitted to the ODE for approval.
According to Miller, Gov. John Kasich urged state legislators to approve a one-time increase in the number of calamity days allowed as a result of the severe winter weather. House Bill 416, which would allow districts to use an additional four calamity days this school year, is currently under consideration, according to the Ohio House of Representatives website.
In other business, the board approved:
- hiring the following classified personnel: Nick Dechiara as custodian at Green Middle School, eight hours per day, effective Feb. 1; Jennifer Sanchez, cook helper, three hours per day, effective Jan. 8; Teri Caskey, cook helper, three hours per day, effective Jan. 8; Ahlam (Amy) Atallah, parent mentor, two-and-a-half hours per day, effective Jan. 9; and Penny Kurtz on an as-needed basis;
- the resignation of Jon Wallace as head baseball coach to allow him to take over as head football coach, as well as a number of other supplemental contracts;
- overnight trips for Green Middle School seventh-graders to Washington, D.C., March 5-7, and for Green Middle School eighth-graders to travel to Gettysburg/Philadelphia, Pa., May 14-16;
- the district calendar for 2014-15, with a start date of Aug. 20; and
- the Green High School curriculum guide and course descriptions for fall 2014.
Also, the board recognized the following Students of the Month: Kalie Watson, from Greenwood Early Learning Center; Mallory Oddo, of Green Primary School; Donovan O'Neil, of Green Intermediate School; Michaela Wilson, of Green Middle School; and Kasandra Hernandez and David Hartsook, of Green High School.
The next regular school board meeting is scheduled for March 10 at 6:30 p.m. in the Central Administration Building, 1755 Town Park Blvd.

Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger said Wednesday that he would definitely not be 100 percent healthy for the start of training camp on Sept. 17 and may not be able to play in the season opener on Oct. 7 in Pittsburgh.
Responding to questions posed by the Flyers' communications department, Pronger said that knee surgery he underwent on July 27 was successful but that he did not want to return to action before he is fully recovered.
He does not know when that will be.
"I hope to be in the lineup on Oct. 7, but it is still very early on in the process to begin guessing on a time frame," Pronger said Wednesday as he worked out with Jim McCrossin, the Flyers' athletic trainer and strength and conditioning coach, at the Skate Zone in Voorhees.

The American Look, 1958
If you can make it through the glacially paced intro and can put up with the typically clunky, often laughable and jingoistic fifties-style narration, this 1958 film from Chevrolet, The American Look is worth viewing. Chock full of futuristic telephones, toasters, blenders, office machines, architecture and more, it's a mid-century design lover's dream. The film is visually striking and elegant, and presented in widescreen format. Here's part 2 and part 3. Or see it here in its entirety. [more inside]
Red Foley's war effort.
Just the other day I was thinking about World War 2-era propaganda songs, so of course I gave a listen to Smoke On the Water. Say what? You didn't know it was about kickin' Hitler's ass? Or Hirohito's? Guess you weren't listening well enough when ol' Red Foley sang: "...there'll be nothing left but vultures to inhabit all that land, when our modern ships and bombers make a graveyard of Japan..." I tell you, they just don't write songs like that anymore, friends. Anyway, by 1951 Red was looking forward to Peace in the Valley. [more inside]

The revelation that J. R. Smith had knee surgery Monday — just four days after signing a rich, new four-year contract — made the Knicks' investment look instantly suspect and possibly ill-advised. But the surgery was not a surprise to team officials. And the investment was not as extensive as first believed. Smith's deal covers a maximum of three years, with a total value of $17.95 million, not the four years and $24.5 million that was widely reported, including in The New York Times, last week.

Reviews for One Love 4 Kids
This organization has helped to transform the lives of children not only in the United States, but also internationally. Its grassroots efforts help to bring hope and inspiration to communities of children in need, as well as tangible resources that will impact their lives and continue to position them for success.
I have personally volunteered at a One Love 4Kids event, where I was afforded the opportunity to see firsthand of the joy that children received from being gifted with such necessities as clothing, shoes, books and more. This is the type of work that needs to be visible as well as celebrated!

To whom it may concern
One love4kids is a non-profit organization serving various school and communities within Kingston and St Andrew and the wider Island for over four years. As the teacher responsible for students and staff welfare I can speak on behalf of the Clancarthy School family in regards to the many and various assistance obtain from this organization.
At Clancarthy High School our students and staff have benefited in the form of clothing, foot wear, counseling, personal care items, books and school supplies and refreshment during the year end social gathering.
As we look forward to the end of the calendar year we anticipate the usual supplies to cheer those in need as they are awaiting your usual kind gesture. Let me use this medium to say thanks in advance as we await your usual response.
Yours in service

Very Well
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
Will you recommend this organization to others?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
I have worked with many non-profits as both a volunteer and a board member (elected and appointed). Therefore, it is an honor for me to give the highest review to CASACO. The President, Shernet Dixon-James, works tirelessly to empower and enrich the students in Jamaica. Each year they send greater numbers of school supplies and provide positive role models for the Jamaican community. Keep up the good work. I have the belief that "our world is empowered by ordinary citizens giving of themselves extraordinarily".

The Caribbean Student and Community Outreach Foundation is playing a great role in providing food, clothing, school supplies, books, toys and much more to over 1000 children and their families in the Island of Jamaica. I have had first-hand experience with the CASACO Foundation from the very inception of its development, in providing professional advice with respect to its Charter and obtaining its 501(C)3 status.
The educational and social needs of children in Jamaica are overwhelmingly grave, and CASACO Foundation is on the right path in helping to fulfil that need. I support CASACO's vision and will continue to do what I can to enhance its mission.

Launch a fundraiser event to acquire a warehouse building that would provide more space to store the items donated and for volunteers to have more room to pack the boxes.
Jamaica and other Caribbean nations are often looked at for their beautiful beaches, warm sunshine, good food and more. But, too often we forget some of the real issues that plague these nations. CASACO Foundation is doing an awesome thing by championing efforts to further educate and inspire young people throughout various communities.
I am very familiar with the founders of this organization and strongly support their efforts to reach masses of young people, through their various program initiatives. They are working to open a library, to partner with local teachers to enhance the educational experience for kids as well as open a computer lab to further advance the skillsets of these young individuals; presenting them with opportunities to utilize what they have learned to enhance their quality of life.
Winning the Winter 2011 GuideStar-KIMBIA Nonprofit giveaway would help the CASACO Foundation to impact many lives and help to steer a generation in the right direction. Please support their efforts with this award.

Curio: Bootleg Posters from Ghana
Alexa here to share some arts and crafts for your Tuesday. I recently came upon a story about the strange world of bootleg movie posters from Ghana and I've become a little obsessed. In the 80s and early 90s, when VHS tapes from Hong Kong, Bollywood and Hollywood started making their way to Ghana, mobile cinemas were set up to screen films on the fly. Promotional posters were needed quickly to get people into the theaters but there was a catch: the artists knew little about the films before making the posters. Armed with titles and their own imaginations, the poster artists created versions of these films stuffed with more violence and pulpy thrills than the films themselves.

MGIC, which sells private mortgage insurance that covers part of a lender's costs when homes go into foreclosure, has lost money - big money - for six consecutive years. Last year the loss was about $927 million. Back in 2007 it was $1.7 billion.
As losses piled up and MGIC's capital was drained, its stock was hammered. Trading as high as $70 a share as recently as 2007, one day last August, MGIC stock closed at a mere 84 cents. Some analysts wondered whether the company would make it through the housing and employment slumps.
Who would have guessed that shares of MGIC suddenly would be popular again?
Here's who: Investors who are convinced the housing market is turning around and that MGIC, with a new dose of capital, will survive and be profitable once again.
Shares of MGIC are up 85% this year, and took off in March after MGIC announced another losing quarter but added that it was considering raising capital. MGIC subsequently raised $1.1 billion last week by selling common stock and notes.
"There was concern about them even surviving," said Kenneth Brusda, president and managing director of North Star Asset Management in Menasha. "Certainly, what helps is the housing market rebounding like it has been - prices going up, not dropping, and looking like there are some legs to that. That's going to help their business because the higher prices go, the less payoff they'll have on bad mortgages. Then you get a billion of capital, and that's going to give confidence to the idea that they are going to survive all of this."
The feeling that the housing market is recovering has helped the mortgage industry as a whole, not just MGIC, said Jim Ryan, an analyst for Morningstar Inc. in Chicago. A competitor of MGIC, Radian Group Inc., raised $689 million in late February by selling stock and debt.
"Our take on it for the last three years is that at some point in time there is going to be a housing improvement, but it's going to be very gradual," Ryan said. "And I think that's what we're seeing now."
Ryan said there are both good things and bad things for investors about MGIC's capital-raising effort.
"It's a good thing in that it does improve their capital - their risk-to-capital ratio - which will allow them to write more new business," he said. "But the downside for shareholders is it's very dilutive. Not only is there a common stock offering, but you also have a convertible debt issuance, which eventually dilutes shareholders, too. So it's a mixed bag. It's probably just part of survival for MGIC."
MGIC said most of its losses are tied to insurance written in 2008 or earlier, but mortgage insurance of that vintage now makes up only a third of its business. MGIC said delinquency notices on mortgages the company insures were down 21% from a year ago, and new insurance was up 70% in 2012.
"What they're writing is profitable," said George Reis, president of GVR Investment Management in Two Rivers. "It's just a matter of getting rid of the garbage that's in there. They have to grind it out, and if they can write profitable business, that will take care of it."
MGIC also may benefit from rising costs at one of its biggest competitors, the Federal Housing Administration. The FHA provides mortgage insurance on loans made by FHA-approved lenders, but it has been taking losses. In response, the government is raising premiums for new mortgages. MGIC has said it expects to win business from FHA.
That's not to say there aren't hurdles.
MGIC has forecast another annual loss in 2013, and can't predict when it will turn a profit again. The average estimate of analysts polled by Yahoo Finance is that MGIC will lose 79 cents a share this year but have earnings of 22 cents a share in 2014.
While some competitors have stopped writing new business, MGIC is seeing some new competition in the industry. In 2010, Essent Guaranty Inc. began writing new mortgage insurance, and last year, NMI Holdings Inc. raised capital to enter the business.
Morningstar's Ryan cautioned that the housing recovery is far from robust at this point.
Reis said investors in MGIC who are patient could be rewarded.
"This is a company that historically - before this morass of real estate problems - was a well-run and profitable company," Reis said. "I think what people have to do in investing in this is to have some patience. It has potential."

TAP Biosystems and the U.K.'s Open University (OU) established a partnership to develop 3-D human central nervous system (CNS) tissue models based on TAP's collagen RAFT technology for drug discovery and preclinical drug testing. The aim is to manufacture gel-based neural tissue models using glial cells and neurons that can be used for research and for applications including preclinical screening of drug candidates.
TAP's RAFT (real architecture for 3-D tissue) platform has been designed to enable the creation of complex 3-D cell cultures from collagen, in a simple-to-use 96-well plate format. TAP claims that the system requires less than an hour to generate up to 96 cell cultures simultaneously.
The aim is to generate CNS tissue equivalents that closely mimic the cells' in vivo environment. "2-D cell cultures of astrocytes and neurons don't behave in the same way as they do in a living organisms, and this can limit their range of uses," explains James Phillips, Ph.D., at the Open University's Faculty of Science. "We are using the RAFT process with astrocyte-seeded collagen gels. The cellular alignment created then allows the other types of cells in our 3-D tissue model to organize themselves as they would in a natural environment."
This 3-D level of organization will make it possible to simulate and monitor the interaction between glial cells and regenerating neurons, for example after CNS injury, the partners claim. The ability to control variables in the tissue model environment will also facilitate the study of glial and neuronal cell response to drug candidates.
"Such models could contribute to generating more accurate data from novel therapies and may even result in a reduction of the numbers of animal studies necessary for screening potential neuroprotective therapies," suggests Rosemary Drake, Ph.D., TAP's CSO.
The firm's collaboration with OU comes less than a month after TAP announced receipt of additional funding from the U.K.'s Technology Strategy Board to support development of a RAFT-based biomimetic cornea into initial human trials. The project is being undertaken in partnership with scientists the Institute of Ophthalmology at University College London.
