Bob Lutz: The First Virtual Carmaker?
Robert A. Lutz is living large. The 69-year-old former Chrysler Corp. president still flies his Soviet-era fighter jet and speeds around Detroit in a Dodge Viper. His status as North America's preeminent car guy--earned in the early 1990s, when he helped reinvigorate Chrysler with cool, risky vehicles--is unchallenged. In fact, even though Lutz left the company after its merger with Daimler Benz in 1998, Chairman Jürgen E. Schrempp still consults him about how to fix the auto maker. Schrempp likes to call Lutz his rabbi. Indeed, Lutz is one of the few people in the industry who tells it like it is: At the Detroit Auto Show in January, he said many of the sport-utility concept cars "resembled angry kitchen appliances."
What's more, Lutz has enjoyed some success as a CEO in his own right. In the two years since he took over troubled battery maker Exide Technologies, he has settled its legal problems (the U.S. attorney's office accused Exide of deceptive sales practices), cleaned up its books, and acquired one of its rivals.
Now, Lutz is putting his good name and moxie to work for himself. He has started a company called Cunningham Motor Co. to build what would be the first super-exclusive sports car (it would go for about $250,000) to come out of America in 50 years. Actually, "build" might not be the right word, since Lutz only wants his company to design the car. He would like Cunningham's suppliers, whoever they end up being, to piece the vehicle together, with one of them handling the final assembly.
The idea is clever, and it certainly reduces the amount of money Cunningham needs to get started since there would be no plants to construct, no distribution centers to maintain, and hardly any offices to rent. Even so, Lutz is talking about some $80 million; just the engine could cost $20 million to develop. Raising that much will be tough. After all, automotive history is littered with romantic but failed startup efforts, from Preston Tucker in the late 1940s to John Z. DeLorean in the 1980s. Lutz and his partner, Briggs S. Cunningham III, the son of racing legend Briggs S. Cunningham Jr., have each invested about $1 million. So far, they've raised just $2 million from others.
Few fault the car's design. A model of the Cunningham C7, a sleek coupe with a much bigger interior than European sports cars, went over well at the Detroit Auto Show. Lutz describes it as combining the lush leather appointments of a Bentley with the performance--powered by a 500-horsepower V12 engine--of a Ferrari. He figures he can sell about 1,000 cars a year, even in an economic downturn. "There are enough wealthy people who have all the Mercedes-Benzes and Ferraris they'll ever own. If they could have something new that their friends don't have, they'll buy it," he says.
NO TAKERS. Lutz has tried before to "redefine American luxury," as he puts it. At Chrysler, he led the development of two prestige concept cars that never made it to showrooms. Now, after 30 years of working for the big carmakers, Lutz is operating on his own terms. The irony, though, is that he may need his old colleagues to get the C7 on the road. Industry analysts believe he'll have to work with another car company to cut development costs and share parts. "It's easy to talk about this, but it's very tough to do," says David E. Cole, director of the Center for Automotive Research in Detroit. "Someone like Lutz has presence, but he requires a partner, preferably another auto maker."
That's the trouble. Lutz may be the best-connected executive in Detroit, but no one seems ready to risk hooking up with him. He talked to another former employer, General Motors Corp. (GM ), about building new versions of a few engines for the C7. But GM is notoriously cheap these days. "There's very little chance GM would invest," says David E. Davis Jr., the former editor of Automobile magazine who is working with Lutz on the project. Lutz also approached DaimlerChrysler (DCX ) but hasn't been able to strike a deal.
What Lutz believes he has going for him that others didn't is his idea of creating a virtual car company. His plan is for a network of automotive suppliers to furnish parts and assemble them into modules, which would then be shipped to one large supplier that would put the vehicle together. This wasn't possible in the early 1980s, when former GM executive DeLorean tried to start his own company in Northern Ireland. In the years since then, auto makers have thrust onto their suppliers many more design and engineering responsibilities as well as more assembly work.
Basically, what motivates Lutz is a desire to prove people wrong. "If there is conventional wisdom that says this can't be done, Bob will want to do it," says Mark A. Lutz, Bob's younger brother and a retired economics professor at the University of Maine. That defiance dates back to his childhood, spent in Switzerland and the U.S. Their father, a banker who at 93 still goes into his Zurich office daily, was so strict at home that Bob grew to oppose anything that came as an edict, says Mark. Indeed, when Bob held executive posts at GM's German unit and at BMW in the 1960s and 1970s, he refused to follow European protocol. BMW's Quandt family expected Lutz to kiss the hands of aging baronesses at social events. He didn't. GM forbade him to ride his motorcycle to work or to race his car. He continued to do so. Eventually, he returned to the U.S. to work for Chrysler.
That same brassy approach may help recharge Exide. When he took the helm in late 1998, some colleagues thought Lutz had made a big mistake. The battery maker was bleeding money, had racked up $1.3 billion in debt, and was being investigated for selling Sears, Roebuck & Co. (S ) lower-grade car batteries marked as premium ones. "It was not a functioning company," Lutz says. Since then, he has written down millions of dollars in bad investments, paid $27.5 million to settle fraud charges against Exide in relation to the Sears case, divested ancillary businesses, and closed plants. He also dumped its high-profile but unprofitable deal to supply Sears Diehard batteries. After several years of losses, Exide eked out profits of $7.8 million in 1999 and 2000. Now, though, he has to contend with a weakening auto business that is dragging down battery makers.
Salvaging Exide would be enough for some executives. But Lutz wants to see a Cunningham car racing down a highway before he says "enough." Nonetheless, "I don't think even Bob knows if he can pull it off," says Davis. Chances are Lutz can't. But he will probably get closer than anybody else could. And he still has his day job to fall back on.

'X-Men: First Class' Sequel Adapting Awesomely Apocalyptic Time Travel Tale 'Days of Future Past'
One of the most enduring and well-liked storylines from Chris Claremont and John Byrne's legendary run on the "Uncanny X-Men" comic book was known as 'Days of Future Past.' It introduced readers to a post-apocalyptic future (hilariously, 2013) where the Earth is controlled by giant robots, mutants are all either killed or locked up in internment camps, and only a small handful of rebels remain. These rebels, determining that all of this badness started with the assassination of Senator Robert Kelly by the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and his subsequent martyring by anti-mutant forces, send an older version of Kitty Pryde back to the present to warn the X-Men that they must stop the assassination at all costs. Basically, the story is a cross between Back to the Future and The Terminator, with super-powered mutants, and it's one of the front-runners for coolest thing ever.
So it's super exciting to hear that Matthew Vaughn is apparently going to be using it as the inspiration for the sequel to his 2011 reboot of the X-Men franchise, X-Men: First Class. Confirmation of this news came from an interview IGN conducted with producer Bryan Singer. When asked what he could reveal about the First Class sequel, Singer dropped a bombshell by saying, "It's going to be very ambitious. It's called Days of Future Past, and it deals with aspects of that comic but also some very new things… I just don't want to give any of it away. Matthew Vaughn will be directing and I'm totally excited about it."
Aspects of that comic, but some new things? That should be enough to get fans' imaginations racing. Personally, I always like what the 90s-era X-Men cartoon did with the story by replacing ghost Kitty Pryde with the time traveling Bishop (who serves in a future, militarized version of the X-Men known as Xavier's Security Enforcers). If Singer and Vaughn went this route, it would be a good chance to introduce another character into their already rich universe and an opportunity to give a young actor like, say, a John Boyega a chance to do some work in a big blockbuster.
Speaking of masturbatory fanboy speculation, apparently Singer and Vaughn's co-opting of Claremont and Byrne's story has been a rumor in the fan community for a while now, and there's even been some talk that the story could be used as a way to integrate characters from First Class with characters from the previous X-Men film franchise that was started by Singer's 2000 film, X-Men. When asked about these rumors, Singer said, "I think there's a strong desire to broaden out the universe. I mean, the X-Men universe is every bit on its own as big as the Marvel universe, and I think it's time to reach out and explore it and perhaps even bring some connectivity between the films, as Marvel's done so well. So, you may see some of that, I don't know."
Could we end up seeing Michael Fassbender and Ian McKellan and James McAvoy and Patrick Stewart all in the same movie playing the same characters? It could be argued the possibility was already opened up by the surprising cameo they stuck in the middle of First Class, and in a movie landscape where J.J. Abrams has us using terms like "Spock Prime," you have to think anything is possible.

TAMPA — How tough can it be to satisfy Auburn's football-crazed fan base?
Exhibit A: While deplaning at the Robert G. Pitts Auburn Airport in December 2008 after a flight from Memphis, four Auburn athletic officials were greeted by a group of about two dozen mostly upset fans.
The reason?
Word had leaked that the Tigers were set to hire Gene Chizik, who had gone 5-19 in two seasons at Iowa State, as coach.
During the awkward event, which was captured on video and seen by millions on YouTube, one disgruntled man took a break from booing and shouted, "We want a leader, not a loser."
"That," Auburn linebacker Craig Stevens said, "was a little unfair."
Apparently, though, many shared the fan's sentiments.
At least, at first.
"I'd say in the initial 24 hours, the response (by Auburn fans) was overwhelmingly negative," said Evan Woodbery, who covers the Tigers for the Mobile (Ala.) Press-Register.
Meanwhile, Auburn's players weren't upset; they were stumped.
"Most of us were like, 'Who is he?' " running back Ben Tate said.
Twelve months and two weeks later, the boo birds have quieted. While there remains much work to get Auburn back into the elite of the SEC, the selection that flabbergasted some and disappointed others now doesn't look half bad.
In his first season at Auburn, Chizik, a Clearwater native whose first coaching job was as defensive coordinator at Seminole High, is 7-5, is the school's first first-year coach to reach a bowl (it plays Northwestern on Friday in the Outback Bowl at Raymond James Stadium) and apparently has been recruiting hard. Auburn is ranked No. 7 in the Rivals.com team recruiting rankings, ahead of USC and Miami, among others.
"I feel like I'm the most blessed man on the planet," Chizik, 48, said Tuesday.
In hindsight, Chizik's respectable start shouldn't be a surprise. Although his record at Iowa State is what many initially focused on, his work as defensive coordinator at Auburn (2002-04) and Texas (2005-06) was nothing short of phenomenal.
During those two stops, Chizik's defenses were ridiculously good and helped each program record an unbeaten season. The 2004 Tigers, in fact, led the country in scoring defense. It was that success that helped persuade the Tigers to hire him.
"I know that we have found the right fit for Auburn," athletic director Jay Jacobs said when Chizik was hired.
It didn't take the mild-mannered and close-to-the-vest Chizik, hardly a quote machine but clearly a man focused on football, long to start winning people over. At his initial news conference, he spoke of his affection for all things Auburn, particularly its tradition. Then he focused his attention on the players.
"He told everyone who he was and said, 'I know you don't know me or trust me, but we're going to get to know each other,' " Tate said.
Chizik started gaining that trust in the spring, Tate said.
By the fall, most everyone was on board.
The season hasn't been without its valleys, but the peaks included a 5-0 start, wins over Mississippi, Tennessee and West Virginia and a near-miss in its regular-season finale against unbeaten Alabama.
"These guys have bought into Auburn," Chizik said.
And many, including a lot of those naysayers from a year ago, undoubtedly have bought into Chizik.
"He proved people wrong," Stevens said. "He won them over."

Ah, the mouse. When you have a good one, you take it for granted. When you have a crappy one, you definitely notice. When you finally find one that you enjoy, you fall into a comfort zone that prevents you from seeking out a better tool for the job.
This is the struggle that companies such as Razer face. It is an uphill battle. They have to win the hearts and minds of the gaming public and convince you that your mouse isn't good enough – you need something better to get an edge on the opponent who has 'figured it out'.
Today we'll see if they are successful. We will be looking at the Razer Copperhead and the Razer Krait. Both of these mice are designed specifically for gamers and are marketed and supported as such.
Is it worth it? Can a mouse be "better" for a specific task such as RTS gaming or FPS gaming? Read on to find out this humble reviewer's opinion
First we'll look at the Copperhead. The Razer packaging is very detailed, but the marketing stuff they put on the box is almost laughable. They make undeniably brash claims about superiority over standard mice, as well as letting you know how much you'll destroy the competition who use junk mice. I know the marketing people get paid to do this, but it does seem a bit excessive.
Let's get one thing straight right off the bat: The Copperhead is not like any other mouse I've ever used. The size, shape, and feel of it are almost alien. It is like learning how to use a whole new input device. It is very sensitive and it grips weird. I have smallish hands for a man, and I found myself having to learn how to hold it differently. Instead of resting my wrist on the table/mouse pad, I had to slide my hand about an inch forward, causing my to have to arch my hand a bit. Also, you cannot grip the sides with your thumb and your ring/pinky finger- you need to slightly move them up to grip the rubber things on the side (In the picture, these are the things that are lit up green). If you grip it like a normal mouse, you will be pressing side buttons on accident, as they are small and very sensitive. It may be just my hands, but I could barely reach the scroll wheel with a normal mouse grip. Basically what I am saying is you need to hold it a different way, and get used to it, or this is not the mouse for you.
Once you get used to it, it's a whole different story. I found myself starting to prefer the feel of the Copperhead rather than my current Logitech G5. Admittedly, the G5 seems like a bit of a cow next to the Copperhead. The Copperhead is narrower and shorter. When I first installed the Razer software that I downloaded from their web site, and fired up UT2K4, it crashed. Not very encouraging. UT2K4 has never crashed on me before. Later, I thought perhaps it was because I had Logitech's G5 driver installed. I uninstalled the Logitech driver, reinstalled the Razer driver, rebooted, and it's been fine since.
The software is pretty, without a doubt. I will admit however that I am starting to tire of the "OMGZ XTREME HARDCORE ULTIMATE" look. You know the one – it's the one with all the dark colors and rusty looking stuff. In fact, the interface of the Razer software looks like it comes right out of Doom III. And there's always gotta be a grid in the background, you know?
Aesthetics aside, the software is functional and easy to figure out. The cool thing about the Copperhead is that it has onboard memory and you can upload profiles to it, so even if you plug it into a different computer, the button config and sensitivity settings stay the same. There is a small button on the bottom of the mouse that you can press to select one of five profiles. You can't do it on the fly really (unless you want to flip your mouse over in-game and press a button a few times) but it works.
So how does it actually work? Good. As far a mice go, I'd rather have a gaming mouse than a standard windows mouse. The Copperhead is a super-sensitive, extremely twitchy mouse. Even when you crank the sensitivity down it still feels jumpy. I let my twelve year old nephew (an avid Counter Strike player) use it for a week. He said, "At first I thought it was really twitchy, but after a while I got used to it. When you first start using it you have to turn the mouse sensitivity down to about 5.0 just to be able to move it and see the cursor, but now I put it up to about 11.0 and am able to play really sensitive games like Counter Strike:Source. It's a good mouse but it takes a while to get used to it."
That's as good a summary as I could come up with. Basically this is a tool that you have to get used to. This is a device that will generate a lot of opinions, with very little middle ground. You either love it or you can't stand it. But if you have a chance to try it, I would recommend giving it the time to get used to it, because this is not something you are going to be able to plug in right away and start fragging ten times better than you did before.
One major complaint I have is the side buttons on the right side. If you are right handed, these would be the buttons for your pinky and ring finger. They are set back way too far to be useful at all. You have to bend your whole hand to access them and then you're not sure which one you are hitting. Trying to use them was an exercise in frustration and futility. I realize that the mouse is perfectly symmetrical, so that it works equally well for righties or lefties, but if you take a quick glance at the human hand (you may have one or two), you will see that it is not symmetrical at all. Ergonomics be damned. They could have just left the buttons off and gone with the two thumb buttons. Even the thumb buttons are smaller than I would have liked. I ended up not using any of the side buttons in the end.
I do a lot of Photoshop work as well, and I'm going to be honest and say this mouse is not great for that. As far as an all-purpose "replace your other mouse for good" thing goes, the Copperhead is not it, at least for me.
If I was a professional FPS player, I might choose the Copperhead as my mouse. It's really going to boil down to a matter of opinion. Don't believe the hype, it's not going to improve your game, but if you find your current mouse lacking in the gaming department, this would be a suitable replacement if you're willing to invest the time into mastering it.
The claims that are made on the box of this mouse have got to be some of the most over-the-top I've ever seen. "Pumped with an APM rate that will deliver an adrenaline rush". Huh?
APM is a term I've never heard of (except for Advanced Power Management). I found tiny print on the box with an asterisk that explains: "Actions Per Minute is the number of actions completed within a minute of gameplay in a real-time strategy game." What? Google was no help. Obviously this is a term that Razer came up with to put some big fancy number on the box. Gamers love numbers, you know. So at any rate the Krait boasts an "APM" of up to 1200.
I'll be perfectly frank: There is no way a mouse is going to have any effect on your "APM" in a strategy game. The game itself has something to do with it, as well as the play style of the individual.
I'll tell you exactly what the Krait is: It is a way for Razer to introduce people to their mice with a more palatable price point than the $55+ Copperhead. It is a fairly stripped down high-end mouse. Allow me to explain:
The Copperhead, like the Logitech G5 and G7, is a laser-based mouse. Very precise, you can use it on any surface, etc. The Krait is optical. Since I came from a Logitech MX1000, graduated to a G5, and then used the Copperhead, it's been quite a while since I've used an optical mouse. I don't have a mouse pad anymore, so when I first plugged the Krait in, it worked horribly. I could not figure out why it was working so badly, and I was beginning to formulate a horrible review. I played with the software for about a half hour and gave up. Finally I was looking at the bottom for maybe some clue, such as a dirty sensor, when I realized this was optical instead of laser. A mousepad changed everything, and it started working like a mouse is supposed to.
Fine, Razer went optical instead of laser. I'm no mouse engineer but the only reason I can think of this is the price factor.
Next we have the lack of any side buttons. I read somewhere that Razer claimed this was because the mouse is "optimized" for RTS/MMOG play, where those pesky extra buttons would be accidentally clicked. Why would they not be accidentally clicked in a first person shooter? I don't know. Some of the other cheap-outs seem aesthetic. The Copperhead's side lights are bright and consistent, while the Krait's side lights look like there is one orange LED on each side and they are relying on a diffusion effect to light the whole side. The Copperhead features a glowing Razer logo on top, which is a cool effect. The Krait is just solid plastic with a screened Krait logo on it. These things are ultimately unimportant, but overall left me with the impression that the Krait has had some corners cut.
Okay, enough tearing it apart. It's a good mouse, honestly. I think I like it better than the Copperhead, for the sole reason that it is MUCH more comfortable for me. It fits nicely. The scroll wheel is just right, the buttons are perfect, and the side grips well placed. I really like the smooth rubber they use on the mouse buttons, as well as whatever switch they use inside – the buttons are very responsive and give a nice satisfying click. The scroll wheel also has a very solid, rugged feel to it. There's no accidental scroll-slippage as is common with cheaper mice.
This would be much more suitable as a total replacement mouse than the Copperhead would. In fact, they make a great team. This may say something – I am using the Krait right now. When I was reviewing the Copperhead, I found myself going back to my Logitech G5 for normal windows stuff, and Photoshop work. However, my G5 has been unplugged now for four days and I haven't felt the need to unplug the Krait for any reason. It is sensitive, well built, and attractive, as well as being very comfortable to use.
Optimized for RTS or MMOG gaming? I'm going to go out on a limb here and call BS on the whole thing. I think Razer should just drop the marketing garbage, slice $10 off the price, and put this out there as a great "all around replacement" mouse. It's really good, and I would recommend it for all general purpose use, even gaming – unless you really need those side buttons.
The only other feature I miss (on both the mice) is the left/right scroll of the mouse wheel that some of the Microsoft and newer Logitech mice feature. Again, especially when working on Photoshop, that left/right scroll feature comes in handy.
If you are left-handed, you would definitely love these mice. You can swap the buttons in the software.
If you have the money, a Krait paired with a Copperhead would make a great team – use the Krait for everything except for FPS gaming, and then bust out the ol' Copperhead when you want to impress your friends at a LAN party or really take your 1337 sniper skillz to the next level. Of course, not many of us are going to have the luxury of spending a hundred dollars or more on two mice, so for you I say seriously consider buying a Krait as a general all-purpose, high quality primary mouse. If you like the bling-bling factor, lots of big stats, and blinky lights, the Copperhead is more your style.
SIDE NOTE: Razer vs. Logitech G-series
This is tough. I really like them both. My G5 has become ol' faithful at my primary home computer, and my G7 holds a valued place as my primary mouse on my Mac at the office. If I was left handed, there would be no question that I would own multiple Razer mice. I can't really say there's a clear winner here. The G5 has a lot of things going for it – the adjustable weight system, the nice grip, the side scrolling wheel, and the intuitive sensitivity adjustments. The Krait has a lot going for it too – the excellent buttons, the ergonomics, and the very good scroll wheel. They're both adjustable to amazing levels of sensitivity – so sensitive that they are unusable for anything other than FPS gaming. I honestly don't know how to explain the difference between 1000dpi and 2000dpi or 8-bit vs. 16-bit data channel. Frankly, I don't think there is a difference. The most detailed work I do is in Photoshop when trying to aim almost pixel-perfect, and both families of mice do the job way better than a standard mouse. I think it's mostly marketing.
If you get a chance, I would highly recommend trying each one out somewhere before making a purchase decision. They are all great mice, way better than any $14 mouse you buy at the local big-box mart or something. Someone will always have an opinion about things like this anyway, and his is sure to be different from mine. My personal preference is for the G5, but my nephew prefers the Copperhead. My eight year old son likes the G7. Everybody's different. Isn't it great? 🙂
Please feel free to discuss this review in our gaming forum.
- Hot looking
- Krait is very comfortable and Ergonomic
- Probably can't find better performing mice
- 32kb of onboard memory for the Copperhead = portable profiles
- Very configurable through software
- Ambidextrous
- Price
- Marketing hype – you can't optimize a mouse for RTS games
- Copperhead is quite uncomfortable for those with smaller hands
|Bonus items & software
|With the Krait, you get a Razer logo window cling! yay! The software bundle is standard, but your going to go to the website for the latest drivers anyway, right?
|Design & layout
|The design of the Copperhead is very particular. It was made for people with bigger hands. Also, the side button placement on the Copperhead is just plain bad. The Krait is very well designed.
|The manual was good enough for me.
|Features & options
|What can I say that hasn't already been said in the review. These are good mice.
|Fine-tuning features
|Highly tunable. You can tune them almost too much, with variable X/Y sensitivities, etc.
|The marketing hoodoo on the package is over the top to the point of ridiculousness. One quote says "With the fastest mouse on the planet with a kick-ass APM rate of up to 1200, I take half the time to dispose of my opponents." Spare us, please.
|Price / value
|They should make the Krait a bit cheaper and stop trying to market it as a device that will improve your RTS game. It won't. But it is a great mouse, and if it were even $5 cheaper they might have more of a market than they would for just people who buy it because they are hardcore RTS players. The Copperhead is an exotic boutique mouse, and is priced as such, but still could stand to be $10 cheaper.

Is this your new shot or the older back.. In the second to outer black/grey line there is purple blobbing all over?How can you miss this?does anyone else see it? I see Purple blobbing all over the second to darkets part.. Or is that Jpeg artifacting???Hope it is the jpeging?Does anybody else see the purple blotches?Thanks for the PostSnook[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=151173\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Snook,I see at the border of the darker gray but as it follows perfectly the square I think it must be due to jpg. Not random at all.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=151179\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
IN acr, I took samples all over the image. I get uniform readings. I do not see any blobs on my calibrated 1920x1200 display. Even whe I zoom at 400% on the posted image, I do not see.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=151183\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Yes, I see that too. I can hardly believe that's jpg compression. [a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=151195\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
HiWe tried putting the file into photo shop, it is so small it is the size ( image ) of a postage stamp. So we looked at it as shown on LL on a Quato monitor. We could not see purple blobbing at all. The outer square seems to have a purple cast all the way around. When the next inner square starts it is grey. It could be the paper or the way the light is hitting it.....etc. But in the end the image is so small it is hard to judge. To me there are no purple blobs because they do fall into the next square. Go out and take pictures with the back. Also if you are using a Mac try a demo of Raw Developer so you can compare it to Photo Shop raw.Thanks Denis[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=151246\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Don't you think I would love to have a Half way decent MFDB for 7,000$... you bet you, But not until it proves to 100% useable.

Overview of Deductible Expenses in the Philippines
By: Garry S. Pagaspas In computing for the income tax in the Philippines, certain deductible expenses are subtracted from gross income. They are technically termed as "allowable deductions from gross income" and they could be under itemized deductions or under optional standard deductions (OSD). In either case, they share the same concept, unless stated hereunder.
How to compute Optional Standard Deductions (OSD)?
Under the advent of Republic Act No. 8424 otherwise known as "The Tax Reform Act of 1997" (RA 8424), OSD is applicable only to individual taxpayers engaged in trade or business, or engaged in the practice of profession. It is computed at ten percent (10%) based on the gross profit after deducting the cost of
Tax savings under Optional Standard Deduction (OSD)
For taxpayers engaged in trade, business, or practice of profession, optional standard deduction (OSD) is a good are to look at for tax savings.

RECIPE BELOW ! : Good product ...
Posted by PracticalReviews on Dec 11, 2012 | Verified Purchase
here's a healthy beverage recipe that i use this product for: 1 tsp of Cacao,half tsp of Maca and 1 tbsp of Molases,2 chocolate tablets and the smallest amount of salt,mix all together with a cup of hot water & wait for it to be cold enough to drink,then add a handful of Goji berry / lycium berry & the coconut chips above-thats it you're ready to go.plus,for a healthier dish although the texture won't be appealing to everyone you can add half a tbsp of flaxseed and the other half chia seeds and a full tbsp of poppy seeds all grinded together in a coffee grinder,and put this on top of the liquid ,very healthy and very tasty as well.i often add add vanilla extract and a tsp of rice bran in the first segment.sometimes i also add nutiva's hempseeds and/or half a tsp of cordyceps powder but it doesn't taste as good as the original recipe.update:coconut chips tend to taste much better with cold or room temperature beverages so you might consider adding them after cooling it down,same for the chia & flax seeds....you are welcome to rate & read my other reviews

I am 26 years old 6'0 feet tall. I've recently lost 120lbs going from 318lbs to 198lbs in 22 months. I dropped 101 in less than a year and the final 19lbs I slowly lost. I have a decent amount of excess skin left around the pectoral and lower abdominal areas, there seems to be no fat left behind just skin. I was wondering from the pictures I have posted what could be done, better yet what the surgery and recovery would be like and how much would it cost me to pursue the procedure.
Excess Skin on Pectoral and Abdominal Area After Weight Loss? (photo)

Excess Skin on Pectoral and Abdominal Area After Weight Loss
Costs will also vary with geographic location. Estimated costs can be found here on RealSelf.com, PlasticSurgery.org or Surgery.org.
Three options exist for surgery. Smaller procedures can actually be done in the office with light oral sedation. Adolescents frequently do better with a light general #anaesthetic.Twilight or IV sedation are another great choice. All procedures are outpatient either in the office or a certified outpatients surgery facility.
The most important decision to be made before performing any surgical procedure is determining whether you are an ideal #candidate.
Please be advised that each patient is unique and previous results are not a guarantee for individual outcomes. As with all cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic. With any surgical procedure, there are some risks which your doctor will discuss with you during your consultation

Gynecomastia Surgery in Massive Weight Loss Patients
Thanks for the post and photos. Great job on the weight loss! You will require gynecomastia surgery with skin tightening and free nipple graft to reposition the nipple and areola to the proper place on your chest. Seek out an experienced gynecomastia surgeon.

Male breast reduction addresses gynecomastia
Congratulations on your weight loss, 120 lbs. is certainly an accomplishment! Dramatic weight loss often results in excess skin that cannot be resolved through diet or exercise. You may be good candidate for male breast reduction surgery. This procedure applies liposuction to remove residual fat and surgical excision of glandular tissue and excess skin for a smoother chest. Other post-bariatric procedures can address other areas, but male breast reduction specifically targets the chest area to create a more masculine appearance. It's best to schedule a cosmetic surgery consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your specific options, the associated costs, and recovery plan with a board certified plastic surgeon when planning your surgery.
Fantastic Weight Loss/Now Excess Skin
Congratulations on your weight loss! In reference to your question you would need removal of the loose skin of your chest with removal of the nipple and areola and sewing it back on to the newly contoured chest.
Dr. ES
Massive Weight Loss Gynecomastia Requires skin removal in most.
Congrats on the weight loss - you have accomplished much.
You are correct that exercise which indirectly and to a small degree fills out some of the skin by increasing underlying muscle bulk cannot correct the redundancy that you have. The reason for this is that you can not exercise skin or return its lost elasticity and therefore you will need to reduce the excess skin for best results. There are a number of techniques available but most important is to choose your plastic surgeon wisely: make sure that he/she is board certified and experience with massive weight loss patients in addition to gynecomastia surgery.

Gynecomastia and excess skin
Congratulations on your weight loss. As with other areas of the male body, the chest can develop loose skin after weight loss. Gynecomastia surgery can address this loose skin by removing the extra skin with minimal scarring. You should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.
ffWhat do I do with the excess skin on my breasts and abdomen following large weight loss?
Congratulations on your weight loss. You, indeed, appear to have a lot of excess skin around the breasts along with sagging. You will need to have the breasts lifted and excess skin removed. But you try to accomplish this with minimal scarring. You should consult with a Board Certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience with male breast reduction. Good luck!
Excess Skin
You have lost a large amount of weight which is great! You have a large amount of excess skin which needs to be addressed. You will require resection of some of the skin.
Skin Excess on Breasts after Weight Loss
I would address the loose skin of your chest my removing the loose skin and repositioning the nipple areola complex. Your abdomen appears to have much less skin from the pictures, but an exam would be necessary to make proper recommendations. Find a board certified plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs many of these procedures every year. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Overcoming the Challenges of Internal API Programs
Enterprises have immense amounts of data, and of course, some of that data is proprietary and can't be shared outside its doors. Whether it's employee social security numbers or the "secret sauce" that sets their product apart from competitors, there is always some information that needs to be protected. But just because it is protected doesn't mean that it can't be made more accessible to those that should have access to it.
Applying a RESTful API facade to legacy systems internally can return immediate benefits by opening functionality typically locked behind specific technologies to anyone within the organization who needs access. Surprisingly, the biggest challenges in implementing an internal API program aren't actually technical, they're cultural.
In this webinar, Rob Zazueta and Sasha Kamenetska of Mashery's Strategy Services talk about:
- How to overcome cultural obstacles in implementing an internal API program
- How to present the value of having a program
- How to ensure success once your program is up and running

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004
Review by Mike Truitt
"Near perfect game from a relatively unknown game"
Playstation 2 - Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004
This years version of Tiger Woods' game has been updated with all new gameplay features and different modes of play. There is everything from an incredibly long career mode in which you must boost your created golfers stats up from a lowly amateur to be able to beat the greatest golfer in the world to the most in-depth online golf game in video game history. EA Sports laid everything down on the line to get this game just right, and in that gamble they won in every way.
In all honesty there is very little that can depreciate from the experience of the game. The nature of the game allows for the game to be extremely easy for those players who play with the better golfers - this is especially true in the career mode when a good player will be able to outscore the second place golfer by 30 strokes for a good tournament. However, if you are looking for a challenge in this game you can take off the hints in the game and you will realize just how ''good'' you really are.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 (TW2004) is a continuation of the Tiger Woods series that is creating a fan base that is getting larger and larger with every passing year. This year is certainly no exception, with what seems like the epitome of what a golf video game should - it leaves many waiting for next years to come out.
Truly experiencing this game for the first time, I was a little bit apprehensive about just how fun TW2004 would be. I enjoyed Hot Shots Gold and all, but would it be able to compare to the hype? Playing the first round of golf answered my questions with an astounding yes. And unlike the time I accidentally glued my self to my desk - I wouldn't let go of the controller voluntarily. I was addicted the moment I hit my first really great shot. [For those who have never played it before, whenever you have a great shot the screen will go widescreen you will hear your heart beat, and the controller will vibrate to the golfers heart... it is amazing] and I still can not let this game go - through the tournaments, match play, real time events, and everything else... TW2004 has been a joyride all of the way.
Wow! There are no other words to describe the reaction I had playing this game. Flawless graphics that go into minute details that are not even noticeable for the large majority of the game, but when you see that little detail that you missed --- that bigfoot walking in the woods behind the green, the birds flying far above your head while hitting your shots, the pants flapping in the breeze (and actually flapping harder depending on the speed of the wind). Absolutely amazing - the game looks much like some FMVs that are in games from just a few years ago. Above all of those things, even above the grass blowing in the wind a hundred yards away, above everything is the course designs.... the real courses are dead on matches to their real life counterparts, even to the slopes of the greens and the layout of the course (which unlike most golf games, you can see other holes and use their fairways at all times) everything is done to perfection. Wow!
I must admit, at first I was apprehensive about using the joysticks to hit the ball instead of the classic three-click method that has been a staple in video games over the years. In fact, I hated the idea of it... that is until I actually tried it. At first I was having some real difficulties with getting the backswing and forward swing to be right and to hit it strait, but after a round or two the controls were pretty familiar in my head. This option leaves nothing to be added - a slight hook, huge slice, strait shot.... you name the type of shot you need, and it can be done with a fair amount of ease.
The biggest aspect that got me hooked on TW2004's control scheme is the spin control and the power boosting. Those familiar with the method would have it no other way, but for those new to it will have a bit of difficulty at first. You can add extra power to your shot or spin to your shot by rapidly tapping a button, and the best part is, they are changeable during gameplay so that if you make a mistake, you are able to correct it accordingly before the shot is over.
On a side note, it is hilarious to hear the different techniques that people use to allow them to hit the ball strait every time and get the power button tapped as much as possible so that they can bomb their drive 370 yards. Which method will you find works best?
While not the best aspect of the game, the sounds are certainly one of the better ones. The soundtrack contains enough songs that you will get familiar with them, but not so few that you get sick of them... however, the same can not be said for the smug commentary provided to you. The comments of the announcers will make you want to go through your television set and just beat the crap out of them every time you make a bad shot or take too long getting ready. But you can not turn them off because of all the great comments they will make about you when you are destroying every body else in the tournaments.
This... this is where TW2004 will get you hooked. All I really need to say here is ''Speed Golf'', a mode in which you pit yourself against another golfer to see who can complete a hole in the shortest amount of time while getting bonuses for various tasks. Not only will this be the most fun multiplayer game you have played, but likely the one you will remember for the longest time to come. Other multi-player options are your typical ones to expect in a golf game, some with a slight twist - but just remember Speed Golf.
One great thing about TW2004 is the online capabilities, for the most part you will be able to play against people both your skill and better from anywhere in the world (potentially), which then leads to an incredibly high replay value. However, you will come across those people who like to cheat either by turbo controllers or by Gameshark type devices to give them god-like statistics. However, these people are few and far between and the overall condition of online playing is one of good nature, good competition, and just all around enjoyment.
There are so many extras it is just ridiculous. Real Time Events being the most outstanding one in my opinion. According to your Playstation's clock, it will read the date, and if you are playing on a specific date, you will unlock hidden challenges that will award you prizes and money based on your performance.
The create-a-golfer addition is a great one, you can modify the character to fit your likeness to an almost spooky exactness, and with the literally hundreds of different clothes, accessories, and other things, you can fully customize your golfer to be... well you. You can then take your golfer to the PGA Tour and go after the pros to increase your stats.
The trophy balls and Chasing Tiger balls (read that as ''chasing Tiger'' balls - not chasing ''Tiger balls'') will have you going after goals in the game for a long time to come. The extras in TW2004 are just the icing on the preverbal cake.
Anyone who is remotely interesting the entertaining the notion of maybe getting this game, should buy it as soon as they leave their house. With the extras, addicting gameplay, and options - anyone will be playing TW2004 for a long time, and enjoying every minute of it. TW2004 is as near perfect of a video game as any golfing video game is likely to get.... I am waiting for 2005

Baby Elephant at the Oregon Zoo
Cute Alert: It's an El-Infant!
Keeping elephants in zoos is controversial. Some people say they shouldn't be in captivity, others say allowing people to see endangered animals makes them care about their continued survival. I don't know enough about it to say, but I do know that it's touching to see this tiny (by elephant standards!) baby elephant finally bonding with his mother, Rose-Tu (who had been a little rough with him at the beginning). Zookeepers kept watch to make sure that Rose-Tu was gentle with the little one and according to this news story, "The calf leaned against her wrinkled side, and she gathered him between her front legs, a sign of affection." Cute!


text: NASHVILLE, TN—According to a song recently recorded by aspiring country singer Colin Barnett, longtime girlfriend Lori Sue Jennings is the reason he lives, dies, breaks down and cries. "Ooh... Lori Sue...," the song stated, "you're the reason I live, you're the reason I die, you're the reason that each night I fall and break down and cry." Reportedly, in addition to reducing Barnett to tears, Jennings is the woman without whom there is no him. It is widely believed that Jennings has such a tremendous effect on Barnett because she is all he's got in this world.

Near her 50th birthday, a woman's ovaries slow and then stop their monthly egg production (menopause). As ovulation ends, the ovaries also slow their production of estrogen, a hormone that seems to protect women from heart disease and osteoporosis. During menopause, a woman may also have hot flashes, insomnia and other symptoms. Hormone replacement therapy can help control these problems, and it may also continue to protect a woman from heart disease and bone loss. However, hormone therapy might also increase the risk of breast and uterine cancer.

Between 15 percent and 20 percent of post-menopausal women undergo hormone-replacement therapy. Hormone-replacement therapy is not advised in women over age 60 who have no signs of heart disease or osteoporosis.
The government is conducting a large study, called the Women's Health Initiative, to help answer some of the questions surround hormone-replacement therapy.

Be careful near the monument — often home to a beehive.
Arroyo Seco Loop off Highway 79
The Canyoneers 1:30 p.m., Sept. 20
Empress Contemporary hosts an art event featuring street artists Chor Boogie, Mike "Bam" Tyau, APEX, and Codak at Empress Contemporary, located in the Broker's Building Gallery.
Meet and mingle with the world-renowned street artists in an exclusive setting with hosted food and cocktails, as well as music performed by DJ Young Einstein of Ugly Duckling.
Ticket cost can be applied to your art purchase.
In recent years there has been an increasing interest in an ephemeral and viral form of art that is marking urban settings around the world, and has developed a flourishing subculture all its own. This is the first ever event in San Diego where people can acquire works of art from these famous street artists.
Info: 619-895-3027 or [email protected]
About the featured artists:
Originally from San Diego, the artist known as Chor Boogie currently resides in San Francisco but is an internationally known artist and has traveled extensively to exhibit his work around the world. His drive and his passion fueled his study from Renaissance artists such as Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and Rembrandt to more modern artists like Klimt, Van Gogh, Dali, combining a street culture of modern-day spray paint mentors such as Phase2 and Vulcan.
Mike Bam Tyau has been writing with spraycans and creating aerosol art since 1983. Born and raised in Hawaii, Bam's current work reflects his heritage. He aims to put the many cultural flavors in his murals. His art is a Hawaiian mixed-plate with all the cultural island flavors, but updated with a modern hip-hop twist.
A young, San Francisco-based artist, APEX has quickly made a name for himself in the world of street art, in both the Bay Area and abroad. Having coined the term "Super Burner," his pieces are most commonly huge, multilayered productions, packed with patterns and a vivid array of colors. When one thinks "graffiti writer," San Francisco's own APEX might not be the first thing that comes to mind. His letters are so beautifully crafted and styled that it is tough to see it as only a form of graffiti.
Codak's work is defined by an acute sense of how to utilize space and composition in an organic fashion while maintaining a constructed approach with a mixed media base. He employs the subtle use of color intermixed with line work and creates harmonious clashes with graphic design and street art.

From Geo Hashing
Wed 14 Oct 2009 in Atlanta:
In someones front yard east of Tyrone Georgia
Tyrone is the closest shopping area to my house, so when I saw this hash pop up, I had to at least attempt it. I could have just jumped out, hashed, and left, but I thought this would be a good chance to practice my land owner sales pitch. I ended up meeting a really nice guy who works on jets at ATL. He was mystified as to why would anyone geohash, and why would anyone allow you to do something so crazy. I grabbed a couple of quick pics and said goodbye.
I have the tracklog, but they are too much trouble to post. Hopefully, I can pick up a cheap digicam and start having better proof of hash.

Texas Longhorns to sell beer and wine at baseball, basketball, softball games
Texas will begin allowing beer and wine sales at select sporting events as part of a pilot program, the university announced Thursday.
The first event will be Friday's home softball games. Beer and wine will also be sold at remaining men's and women's basketball games, baseball games and in the fan fest area at the Texas Relays.
"We could look into expanding it for other sports events next fall provided the outcome of the trial is positive," athletic director Steve Patterson said.
If things go well, beer and wine sales could begin next season for general seating at Texas football games at Royal-Memorial Stadium. Alcohol is already available at the suite and club levels.
Texas had considered alcohol sales for several years, dating to previous AD DeLoss Dodds. Patterson, who brings a strong pro background from the NBA and NFL, has made enhanced fan experience and additional revenue streams a priority. The decision had been on hold for a few days as the proposal was reviewed by Texas system chancellor Francisco Cigarroa.
After the spring sports season, the athletic department, UT Police, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission and concession manager Sodexho Sports and Leisure will evaluate the trial, including effectiveness and safety, to determine if alcohol should be sold at other sporting events.
Texas becomes at least the 30th college or university to add beer and wine sales, joining West Virginia and Kansas State in the Big 12 and at least six other schools in Texas, including SMU and UT-Arlington.

RI lawmaker seeks audit of DMV computer system
A Rhode Island state senator is calling for an audit of the state's overdue and over-budget effort to buy a computer system for the Division of Motor Vehicles.
The Providence Journal reported that Democratic Sen. Frank S. Lombardi of Cranston said the project's difficulties show mismanagement or lack of management.
The estimated cost has risen from $8.8 million to $15.5 million.
The project began with the awarding of a contract in January 2008. The project stalled in 2010 when the state tried to implement the new computer system and it wouldn't work.
Chafee administration officials have since been working to get the project back on track and expect it to "go live" next May.
Lombardi credits the administration with getting things moving but says the project was poorly overseen.

8 bedroom detached house for saleConiston, Cumbria
Under Offer £800,000
Property Description

Main Hall
4 Recreation Rooms | Kitchen | Ancillary Rooms | Disabled Accommodation | 8 First Floor Bedrooms | Ensuire Facilities | Cellar with Extensive Storage | Laundry Facilities

The Property
Lanehead is believed to have been built in 1870 and is steeped in history including providing the base and inspiration for Arthur Ransomes Swallows and Amazons. Bought by Cleveland County Council in 1967 it was then converted into an outdoor education centre. In 2005 the building was refurbished at a cost of approx £1.3m with grant assistance from the Lottery Fund. This included updating all of the facilities and an increase in capacity so that the centre now boasts ensuite facilities for up to 40 people in high quality accommodation, in 8 first floor bedrooms.
There is also ensuite accommodation for up to two disabled people with adjacent carer facilities. The ground floor contains 4 principal reception rooms all of which have stunning views across the lake to The Old Man of Coniston. The cellar houses a large efficient drying room, kit stores, and further toilet
with showering facilities. In addition the new multi purpose outbuilding has been used for teaching, conferences, recreation and as a group activity room.
In addition there is a 3 bedroomed attached cottage. The Boat House is situated on the shores of Coniston and is a short walk from the centre. There is ample parking for a number of vehicles within the grounds.
The propety lies within the Lake District National Park. The Statutory Development Plan guiding
planning policy is the Lake District National Park Core Strategy adopted October 2010. Under the plan the property is currently undesignated, and the property is believed to have an established use as an Outdoor Education Centre.
Under the policies of the Core Strategy the conversion of the premises to a residential property is restricted, for example, for residential use, the current policy states
that all new dwellings must meet the identified local need or local affordable needs of the locality. The principle of this policy is that the building could only be occupied by persons in affordable housing need or local need. Due to the nature and size of Lanehead it is unlikely that it would fulfil the requirements of providing affordable housing unless converted into smaller units/apartments.
The criteria for occupying local needs housing is that the household must have been continously resident within the Parish of Coniston and surrounding parishes for 3 years, or permanently employed in the locality, or taking
up employment in the locality. This policy means that Lanehead cannot be occuipied as a holiday let, second home or retirement property
The Planning Authority have also indicated that if they were to receive a proposal for change of use to Hotel such a use would not be supported within their existing policy.
If prospective purchasers are considering the property for alternative uses they should make their own checks with the relevant Planning Authorities with regard to the suitability of any proposals they may have.
Take the M6 to Junction 36 and follow the A591 to Ambleside via Kendal and Windermere. From Ambleside follow the A593 to Coniston and in the centre of the village turn left onto the B5285 signposted Hawkshead.
At the head of the Lake take a right turn towards Brantwood. The centre is approximately 3/4 mile on the right hand side.
