Under fire, Liow surrenders 'WWW 15'
KUALA LUMPUR, June 11 — Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai today said he is giving up the coveted WWW 15 registration number he had won in a bid last month, whose RM24,200 price triggered public outrage that intensified after it was waived by authorities.
"Let me reassert that I did not bid or tender for WWW 15. Following the proper procedures, my office had requested for the registration number to use for the minister's official car," Liow said in a statement today.
"My office received an official letter dated June 6 from the Road Transport Department (RTD) confirming the free registration number.
"As I now know there was bidding for this number, it is only right that I do not exercise my option. The number should go to the highest bidder," he said in the statement.
The MCA deputy president also told a press conference in the Parliament lobby later that it was not right for him to take the number for free when it could have raised RM24,200 for the government.
"I am very frustrated," he said when asked if he was disappointed that the RTD did not explain the procedure to him in full.
"I didn't bid, I didn't tender. My car number is not important. I only found out someone had bid for it after I came back from overseas," the Bentong MP added.
Liow was forced to defend himself after it was recently revealed by the RTD on its website that he was among those who had won bids for various registration numbers with the coveted WWW prefix.
WWW 15 is among the vehicle registration numbers in the WWW series that helped bring in some RM12 million for the RTD. An unnamed official previously said that the name listed as the winning bidder — be it an organisation or an individual — would have to pay for the winning bid.
RTD director-general Datuk Solah Mat Hassan said in a statement on June 8 that the department had received an application from Liow to obtain the number for his official car in a letter dated May 14.
"The WWW series registration number booking evaluation committee then decided to offer Liow the WWW15 at the highest bidding price of RM24,200," he said, adding that Liow had three options in the matter.
"He could get it for free, pay at the highest offered bidding price, or he could also reject the offer," said Solah.
Solah also said that the names of all successful bidders were made public, in line with the policy of transparency.
Liow had said last week that he was not sure who paid the amount of RM24,200 for the WWW 15 number.
He had confirmed the Ministry of Health did not pay for the bid, but defended himself by saying that the "process (of bidding) was handled by JPJ (RTD)."
Pressed for answers over who paid for the bid, Liow had said, "Not sure, I have to check".
"All ministers are eligible for one number; I didn't exercise the option earlier," Liow had said.
Thousands of people had thronged the three Kuala Lumpur RTD branches to place their bids for the coveted WWW plates.
Liow is the second person to come under public scrutiny after the Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Ismail Sultan Iskandar, beat close to 10,000 bidders to win the tender for the vehicle registration number WWW 1, with the record-setting bid of RM520,000.

text: The history of human culture is intrinsically tied to the manifold usage of wood. Still today, wood is unsurpassed in its diversity and remains an omnipresent companion of everyday life. In addition to the "classical" usages as a material for construction and trade, its contribution is appreciated for ex. in building boats, for insulating wall panels, in producing toys and sports equipment and as a resonator for manufacturing musical instruments. Neither modern logistics in the age of the container can do without wooden pallets, boxes and packaging, nor would the production of wine, sherry and whisky be conceivable without the classical wooden cask. But a great many of everyday products like for ex. paper, tissues, cardboard boxes and even clothes made from viscose originate from one of the most versatile raw materials of our time. Wood is a sustainable, innovative and ecological commodity, a real all-rounder.

2013 America's Cup
Sail-World.com : Governor's Cup - Slow going in light winds
Governor's Cup - Slow going in light winds
'2012 Governor's Cup Race' Jan Theron
Click Here to view large photo
Since the Governor's Cup got underway on Saturday 22 December, generally light winds have made progress on this 1,700-mile downwind race from Simon's Town to the remote island of St Helena in the Atlantic, slow going.
The leaders of the 18-strong fleet are now approaching the half-way stage of the race, but still suffering as they struggle to find consistent wind, and it now looks as though the first finishers won't arrive at Jamestown, St Helena before 1/2 January.
Kevin Webb's Farrier F9AX – Banjo – by far the fastest boat in the fleet, has strengthened her lead both on the water, and on handicap but Abri Erasmus/Paul Tanner's Simonis Voogd 42ft catamaran – Sandpiper 2 – also racing in the Rally Multihull fleet, is continuing to sail consistently, which could put a threat to Banjo's advantage.
In the Racing Monohull fleet another close battle ensues between John Levin's Stadt 34 – Indaba – and Thinus Groenewald's Royal Cape One-Design – Reaction. Indaba has stuck more to the west, nearer the rhumb line while Reaction has opted for the easterly route, which puts her in a more favourable position given the current forecast. Off the coast of Namibia winds are currently 20-24kts south-south-easterly, while further off the coast where the main fleet is winds are between 12-14kts from the south-east.
Kevin Ward's Elan Impression 434, Canace, sponsored by Nampak Bevcan's CAN DO!, crewed by a team of six between the ages of 52 and 70, is also appears to be holding a good position. She logged 900 miles since the start and is currently charging along under spinnaker in an 11kt south-easterly breeze. Speaking from the boat at 1030 (UTC) today, crewmember Steve Robinson said: 'We've not seen another boat for days but we are having great fun and enjoying every minute. We have 954 miles to go and the plan now is to stick to a course of 303 degrees and hopefully that will take us straight to the island. We also believe that where we have positioned ourselves we will benefit from stronger winds forecast. Actually, the wind is in our favour now and everything is going well so we'll be concentrating on getting optimum speed from our boat.'

RMS St Helena – one of the world's last operating mail ships – is shadowing the fleet as it makes its way to St Helena. All the race officials including Billy Leisegang, the principal race officer, and family and friends of all those in the race, are enjoying a fun Christmas break onboard. Once the race is finished, all the yachts, crews and families will be transported safely on the ship back to Simon's Town. Leisegang, speaking from the ship this morning, said they are now in sight of St Helena. 'We are approaching the island now and there's a nice south-easterly blowing about 15kts. We are cruising along at half speed, having averaged too high a speed in the calm conditions all the way from Cape Town – ETA St Helena 14:00.'
Michael/Heidi Kavanagh's Beneteau First 44.7 – Ray of Light – which dismasted off the coast of Namibia in the early hours of Boxing Day, is now en-route back to Cape Town. Thankfully all crew including the Kavanagh's four-year-old son, Sean, were unharmed but it was a real blow to the team who were progressing well when the accident happened. According to Michael Kavanagh the wind was just 15kts and they were flying the spinnaker when the top section of the mast failed. Kavanagh commented: 'Looking at the rig, the port cap shroud had pulled from the mast. Why this happened we do not know yet. We have all the pieces, so when the experts get to take a look we will no doubt be able gain more insight into the failure. We are all devastated. Even more so given our meticulous preparations for the race and the fact that the mast was pulled from the boat and extensively serviced just six months ago. However, as we all know, accidents happen despite thorough preparation. We had worked hard to get ourselves into a north-easterly position and our race strategy was starting to play out nicely.'
This morning they were at a position of 27deg 25.0S by 014deg 37.4E, sailing in 15 knots of southerly breeze and big swell. Kavanagh said: 'We are motor sailing with storm jib and tiny main. Hard going, but we remain resolute. Had to climb the mast again as the cap shroud that pulled loose started slamming into the rigging. Monitoring chafe points. Heidi and Sean a little sea sick. Praying for less headwind!'
Adrian Pearson/Dave Immelman's Didi 38 – Black Cat – which suffered power failure and was making a detour to Walvis Bay for repairs yesterday, is now on route to Luderitz to pick up new batteries and an alternator.

New York renewable energy projects receive $250 million boost
Renewable energy projects are getting $250 million in funding next year as part of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's Energy Highway Blueprint to advance New York state's energy infrastructure.
The project received funding from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) through the state's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). This is the largest amount the portfolio has worked with since 2006.
The projects revolve around electricity from hydroelectric, wind, solar, biomass and other clean energy resources. They will not only expand New York's renewable energy sources, but help reduce the impact on the environment.
"As New York state looks to upgrade and improve its energy infrastructure, renewable energy will play an even greater role in providing power that is more reliable, efficient and environmentally sustainable," Cuomo said. "These projects will not only help diversify New York's renewable energy portfolio, but also provide economic development opportunities across the state."
Currently, the RPS program has 54 large-scale renewable energy generators that provide enough clean power for more than 650,000 homes per year. This includes two biomass facilities, 25 hydroelectric facilities, 17 wind farms and 10 landfill biogas operations including the one at the Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority, which was part of the 2011 RPS program.
Funding is awarded competitively, and the recipients of this year's program will be announced by summer 2013.
"The RPS program has allowed New York state to expand its clean-energy economy by attracting private investment in these medium and large renewable energy projects, which are creating jobs and providing environmental benefits for local communities," said Francis J. Murray Jr., president and CEO of NYSERDA.
"Developing renewable resources, along with our energy efficiency efforts, provides our best hope toward ending our dependency on fossil fuels," said Public Service Commission Chairman Garry Brown. "The Renewable Portfolio Standard ensures that the success of the state's renewable energy program continues unabated."
NYS RPS program has cemented clean energy investments and diversified instate resources. According to Cuomo, the economic benefits from current RPS projects are expected to approach $2.4 billion in the next 20 years, with another $4.9 billion effecting the broader economy.

SendGrid to open new Larimer Square office
Jim Franklin, Chief Executive, SendGrid Inc.
SendGrid is developing a cloud-based platform that helps web developers make sure emails reach clients and users, SendGrid chief executive Jim Franklin said. SendGrid has raised $27 million in venture capital since it emerged from TechStars Boulder in 2009, and has about 60,000 companies that are customers.
Among its users are LinkedIn, Foursquare, Tumblr and Pinterest.
The new office, which will be at 1451 Larimer St. in Denver's trendy Larimer Square, will give SendGrid greater access to developers and employees who live in Denver and even Colorado Springs, Franklin said.
The space, which will be spread over two floors and can accommodate up to 105 employees, fits SendGrid's need for more room while helping it retain parts of its corporate culture, according to Franklin.
The company considered locations in Broomfield, but decided the company and community were not the best fit.
"Being in downtown Boulder has been a large part of our success, but as we've grown, we need more space," Franklin said. "We found a great space that feels like our Boulder office."
SendGrid has about 100 employees, 59 of whom are based in Boulder, Franklin said. The company will continue to add employees to its office in Boulder while filling its office in Denver.
SendGrid has another large office in Anaheim, California, and the company has job openings in New York City, Berlin, Boston and London. SendGrid has hired about 50 people this year, and has openings for 42 more.
SendGrid's success is based on solving a tough problem on which no one wants to spend time. Companies need to send information such as shipping receipts and registration information to clients by email, but the emails often get trapped in spam filters.
Companies and their developers need to figure out how to connect with users, but it is tedious work.
"Developers find it to be a pain, and it's not sexy or interesting to work on," Franklin said.
SendGrid's cloud-based platform allows companies to outsource email deliverability, and a lot of them are taking advantage. According to SendGrid, it sends more than 4 billion emails per month.
SendGrid's new office is 15,390 square feet, according to Chris Boston of Gibbons-White, who represented the company.
"The space consists of a few private offices and a very open and collaborative environment that is very good for SendGrid," Boston said.
The property is part of the portfolio owned by Larimer Associates, Boston said. Darrin Revious of NAI Shames Makovsky represented the landlord.

The greatest comedian/actor of all time. He can play such characters as, an animal, a girl, a stapler, a carrot, durp de durp, and a gigolo....twice. Rob Schneider is a stapler.
1. | Rob Schneider | ||
The greatest Jewish comedian alive? Uh, quite possibly! Not... Uh derp! "Heh-heh, Rob Schneider was an animal. Then he was a woman. And now, Rob Schneider is -- A STAPLER! And he's about to find out -- that being a stapler -- is harder than it looks! Rob Schneider is -- THE STAPLER! Rated PG-13."
"Heh-heh, Rob Schneider is a Wall Street executive, with everything going for him. Only problem is -- he's about to become -- A CARROT! It's 24-carrot comedy! Rob Schneider is -- A CARROT!

3. | Rob Schneider | ||
washed-up ex-SNL actor whose apogee was doing the 'making copies' skits about a hundred years ago. The rest of his oeuvre is forgettable, or better yet, unwatched. Rob Schneider was a 90's concept that should have been left on the cutting room floor.
Rob Schneider obviously had 8x10 glossies of Lorne Michaels in a compromising position, otherwise he never would have gotten on SNL, let alone into any of those ridiculous movies. |
5. | Rob Schneider | ||
The unfunniest man on the planet. Often takes jokes about 5 miles too far. Frequents the radio show Loveline, much to the dismay of its listeners If i have to hear Rob Schneider on Loveline one more time, i'm going to bash my skull in with my radio.
6. | Rob Schneider | ||
The ultimate career killer to any celebrity co-staring in his mediocre movie(s). If you're a movie star, and want to end your fame, star in his next flick.
Scneider could be the least funny guy I know. Rob Schneider could be the least funny guy I know.
7. | rob schneider | ||
a man who makes stupid movies about him turning into something. examples include: - a woman - an animal - a carrot - a stapler - kenny I woke up one morning and for some reason had turned into a velociraptor. I pulled a rob schneider

Bacon enthusiasts converge in Iowa for festival
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The smell of bacon was in the air Saturday as thousands converged on Iowa's capital city for an increasingly popular festival celebrating all things connected with the meat.
Some people wore Viking hats and others walked around with makeshift snouts for the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival. The annual event featured more than 10,000 pounds of bacon served in unusual ways, such as chocolate-dipped bacon and bacon-flavored cupcakes and gelato.
"I love bacon more than I love my job," said Katie Nordquist, who was dressed in a tuxedo T-shirt that looked like bacon Saturday for her first time at the festival.
And there was a lot of bacon to choose from. The smell of unique concoctions like bacon gumbo and chocolate bacon bourbon tarts wafted through one of two buildings at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. The other building had an Iceland theme, with a Viking boat and Icelandic dishes with bacon, to honor a group of delegates visiting from the country.
Urbandale resident Mike Vogel showed up for a fourth year wearing a head-to-toe bacon costume. He said a widespread love for bacon is the reason about 8,000 tickets to the event sold out in just over three minutes.
"I think it's the right time of year when everybody's been cooped up," said the 39-year-old videographer. "It's a good time to get out, have some fun, try some new stuff, have a few beers and enjoy yourselves with everybody else."
Other events scheduled included lectures about bacon and an eating competition. The festival was preceded earlier in the week with a bacon queen pageant and a pig pardon by Gov. Terry Branstad.
Jessica Dunker, president and CEO of the Iowa Restaurant Association, said bacon used to be just a breakfast food. Now chefs from across the state and country use it in everything from vegetable dishes to desserts.
"It's come a long way and you can find it in almost any kind of food or beverage offering," she said.
Festival co-founder Brooks Reynolds, who officially started the event just a few years ago, said it's become the largest bacon showcase in the world. He called the event a "bacon fellowship." Continued...

That is not a positive figure, considering we spend about a third of our lives in bed. The new campaign highlights this great area of potential, inspiring people to go ahead and make room for more personality. 2013 Advertising, Copywriting, Film

Niemand las het etiket en miste daardoor de door ons toegevoegde regel waarop staat dat je 1000 euro gewonnen hebt. Met de Etiketten Loterij roepen we heel Nederland op om alsnog in hetgootsteenkastje te duiken, de etiketten goed te lezen en natuurlijk de winnende regel te vinden. Mocht je geen winnend etiket hebben gevonden, dan heb je in ieder geval minder kans op een ongeluk. 2012 Advertising

Anyone else have a L&T clutch?
by Aaron Bunch » Sun Jun 17, 2012 11:58 pm
I got my KT100 running..but it doesn't move yet. What rpm should it take to get the kart rolling? I have a wet L&Tclutch, but I don't know if it's 1, 2 or 3 disk.

I called L&T and spoke to Jeff. Very nice, very helpful. He walked me through how to adjust the clutch to the original settings....but basically told me this ain't no Chonda and it's common on a piped kart to rev to nearly 10,000 rpm before it starts to move the kart.

Yes, the clutch should engage between 9600 to 10,500 rpms, depending on the type of track

For detailed day-by-day itinerary suggestions, see the "Extended Stay" ideas further down this page.
• Boston (one hour by car)
No trip to Boston is complete without a walk along the two-and-a-half-mile Freedom Trail. Truly one of the best ways to get acquainted with Boston and to explore its wealth of historic landmarks, the 2.5-mile trail begins at Boston Common and ends in Charlestown at the Bunker Hill monument. The entire trail is marked with a painted or bricked red line that is easy to follow. Signs along the Trail identify each of the 16 stops.
Quincy Market, also called Faneuil Hall Marketplace, is a great place to stop for a refreshment break during your walk of the 2.5-mile Freedom Trail in Boston. The indoor-outdoor market is home to dozens of restaurants and food vendors.Want to see sea lions smile and penguins play? Then head to the New England Aquarium in Boston, one of the city's most popular attractions. At the center of the Aquarium is the four-story, 200,000 gallon Giant Ocean Tank, a Coral Reef environment filled with everything from sea turtles, and tropical fishes to sharks, stingrays, and moray eels.
A unique and fun way to tour Boston is on a Boston Duck Tour . The fun begins as soon as you board your "DUCK", an authentic, renovated World War II amphibious landing vehicle. Upon boarding you will be greeted by one of their legendary tour ConDUCKtors, who'll narrate your tour, including little know facts and interesting tidbits along the way. Starting on land, you'll cruise by the domed State House, Bunker Hill Monument, Boston Common, Copley Square, Government Center, fashionable Newbury Street, Quincy Market, Prudential Tower, or the "Pru" as it is known by the locals. And just when you think you've seen it all, it's time for "Splashdown" when your ConDUCKtor splashes your DUCK right into the Charles River for a breathtaking view of the Boston and Cambridge skylines.• Plimoth Plantation (45 minutes by car)
Plimoth Plantation is a living history museum located just 45 minutes from the Inn in the picturesque seaside community of Plymouth, Massachusetts.
This quaint tourist destination offers a memorable New England experience through personal encounters with historic figures of a Colonial English community in the 1600s. The exhibits, programs, live interpreters, and historic settings encourage a new level of understanding about the past and our connection to our settlers.• Newport, Rhode Island (90 minutes by car)
The Mansions of Newport . . The Breakers, Chateau-sur-Mer, The Elms, Marble House, Rosecliff, and numerous others were built by the men and women who built America. Now protected under the auspices of the Preservation Society of Newport County the 11 historic properties and landscapes - seven of which are National Historic Landmarks - trace America's architectural and social development from the Colonial era through the Gilded Age.
In Newport visitors will find a world of exceptional elegance and inspiration in architecture, art, interior design and landscapes. Visitors can explore 250 years of American history sprawled across 80 acres of gardens and parks.• Provincetown (one hour by car)
An historic fishing port, Provincetown is situated at the tip of Cape Cod in an area of spectacular natural beauty, surrounded by miles of dunes and beaches.
The Pilgrims first landed in Provincetown in 1620, and signed the Mayflower Compact. Since that time, Provincetown has been home to sailors, pirates, fisherman, painters, and authors for centuries. In the 1800s Provincetown, with the largest and safest natural harbor on the New England coast, was one of the greatest and busiest sea ports in the country.
The diversity of the region along with its rich texture of cultural, period, and social influences has produced a sense of place that is uniquely its own. Provincetown attracts artists, tourists, and bohemians who blend in with the local population and produce the community's character.• Nantucket (one hour via the fast ferry, or 20 minutes via air.)
Originally a booming whaling port, Nantucket has been named a National Historic District and has changed little architecturally since the 17th century, with its brick mansions and old-fashioned lamps still lining the cobbled streets.
At the harbor front, where the great whaling ships set out on their hazardous journeys to return years later - if at all - pleasure boats now find safe harbor in one of the finest docking facilities in the world. Inland the moors define the rolling landscape.
Nearly 40 percent of Nantucket is protected conservation land. Visitors enjoy the endless beaches, miles of designated bike paths, the Whaling Museum, unique and varied restaurants, and unusual shops.• Martha's Vineyard (one hour via fast ferry, or 20 minutes via air.)
The Island of Martha's Vineyard covers roughly 100 square miles, and is home to both year-round and seasonal residents. Some live "up-island" in the more rural towns of Aquinnah, Chilmark and West Tisbury, and others live "down-island" in the more populous towns of Edgartown, Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven (also known as Tisbury). Each Island town is unique in its geography, personality, and character.
Edgartown was the Island's first colonial settlement and it has been the county seat since 1642. The stately white Greek Revival houses built by the whaling captains have been carefully maintained. They make the town a museum-piece community, a seaport village preserved from the early 19th century. Main Street is a picture book setting with its harbor and waterfront. The tall square-rigged ships that sailed all the world's oceans have passed from the Edgartown scene, but the heritage of those vessels and their captains has continued. For the past hundred years, Edgartown has been one of the world's great yachting centers.
Oak Bluffs is the home of the Flying Horses Carousel, the oldest continuously operating carousel in the country. Its horses were hand-carved in New York City in 1876. This historic landmark is maintained by the Martha's Vineyard Preservation Trust. It is open daily during the summer and on weekends in the spring and fall.
The brilliant colors of the mile-long expanse of the Aquinnah Cliffs astonished early explorers and have continued to be a source of intense interest to scientists and visitors alike. Here, layers of sands, gravel, and clay of various hues tell a hundred-million-year-old story of a land first covered with forests, then flooded and laid bare, then covered with new growth, time and again.Extended Stay

Earlier this morning, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama observed a moment of silence with the White House staff in memory of the 9/11 attacks on the South Lawn.
STORY: New Evidence! George Bush Was Given 6 Warnings Before 9/11
Eleven years ago today, the nation suffered from one of the most infamous terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, when two hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia and one crash landed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The attacks resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans.
Later on today, the President will attend a memorial ceremony at the Pentagon and then visit wounded soldiers at the Walter Reed Medical Center in Maryland.
Take a look at the 9/11 moment of silence in the accompanying gallery.
