Fantastic voyage or why the miniaturization of matter matters to marketing
The miniaturization of matter has long been a human desire, and viewing the world from a smaller perspective is the core of many novels and movies. The idea of shrinking people for the purpose of traveling inside another human's body, in particular, has been frequently used in animated cartoons, including The Simpsons, Futurama, Beetlejuice, and SpongeBob SquarePants.
One of the most entertaining pieces in this genre is Fantastic Voyage, a science-fiction movie from 1966, which -- albeit not free of some severe logical flaws -- has lost none of its original appeal. Fantastic Voyage tells the story of a … Read more

Review of the 2011 Aston Martin Virage
While we appreciate the extra power and suspension enhancements, it's hard to imagine that the new 2011 Aston Martin Virage is really worth nearly 30 grand more than its luscious DB9 sibling.

Full 2011 Aston Martin Virage Review
What's New for 2011
The Aston Martin Virage is a new model for 2011, but it's essentially just a DB9 with slightly different styling, more power and a variation of the Rapide's adaptive suspension.
"One hundred years of automotive history has demonstrated that evolution delivers the best solutions in time," says Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez. And evolution is exactly what his brand and the 2011 Aston Martin Virage are all about.
In the beginning, there was the Aston Martin DB9, which eventually gave its "VH" platform architecture, general styling language and interior design to a succession of new Aston models (one smaller, one more exciting and one with more doors). With each new model came subtle improvements that inevitably trickled back to the other cars. Now that evolution continues with the Virage, a new V12-powered car that combines all these familiar elements.
But wait, how is this new car any different from the DB9? Indeed, it's certainly more difficult to see the differences (and the point) compared to the DBS, Rapide and Vantage. The Virage is meant to plug the gap between the DB9 and DBS while offering a variation of the 6.0-liter V12 that falls precisely 20 horsepower between the outputs of its siblings. The styling also has been massaged, though it's tough for even Aston Martin aficionados to tell the Virage apart from the DB9, despite the fender vents. Inside, the low-tech Volvo-sourced navigation system found in other Aston Martins has been replaced by a better Garmin-sourced unit -- an update that will surely trickle down to the rest of the evolutionary line.
The Virage's key distinguishing feature is its enhanced adaptive suspension borrowed from the Rapide, which promises a more sophisticated balance of comfort and control than in either of its DB siblings. Though this suspension has Normal and Sport modes like the suspension setup for the DBS, within each mode there are five different damping settings that are automatically chosen by the car based on road surface conditions. Selecting Sport also gets you sharper throttle response and quicker shifts from the conventional six-speed automatic transmission.
It might cynically be said that Aston Martin is simply trying to force insatiable multimillionaire collectors to gobble up yet another variation of the same car. (Perhaps if you collect all five, they'll give you a nifty hat.) Yet the 2011 Aston Martin Virage seems to have improved the family DNA by taking the best things from all of its various siblings. As a result, it is a more refined driving tool than its siblings and represents a mixture of power and refinement that should be appealing to buyers of luxury GT cars. However, we wonder why the Virage's many subtle improvements couldn't have just been applied to the DB9? Ah, perhaps it's the $28,000 extra that Aston Martin charges. Are such "subtle improvements" really worth the heftier price tag?
Of course, you might see how this car compares to any number of equally exotic sports or grand touring cars like the Audi R8, Bentley Continental GT, Jaguar XKR, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG or Porsche 911 Turbo. All of these are very different cars, with wildly varying price tags, but they're all fast, all exotic and all very expensive. Come to think of it, all but the Benz offer different variations that offer varying degrees of performance and slightly different styling. Hmm, looks like the 2011 Aston Martin Virage isn't the only product of such automotive evolution.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2011 Aston Martin Virage is available in coupe and convertible body styles, the latter of which is known as Volante. A pair of vestigial "+2" seats are standard, but the coupe allows you to replace them with a more useful parcel shelf.
Standard equipment includes 20-inch wheels, high-performance tires, carbon-ceramic brakes, an adaptive suspension, bi-xenon headlights, LED running lights, front and rear parking sensors, power-folding mirrors, a battery disconnect button (for extended parking), automatic climate control, cruise control, heated eight-way power front seats with power lumbar adjustment and memory functions, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, Bluetooth, a navigation system and a premium audio system with a CD player, satellite radio, an auxiliary audio jack and an iPod audio interface. The Volante also gets a fully powered soft top and a wind deflector.
Besides an available Bang & Olufsen BeoSound audio system, the Virage's options are limited to design and customization items. There's a rather large selection of colors to choose from (including Volante roof colors), plus you can request any paint code Aston Martin or any other manufacturer has ever used. There are also plentiful interior trim types and leather hues available.
Powertrains and Performance
The rear-wheel-drive 2011 Aston Martin Virage is powered by a 6.0-liter V12 that produces 490 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. A traditional six-speed automatic transmission with shift paddles is standard. Aston Martin estimates the Virage will go from zero to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. The heavier Volante convertible version should be a few ticks slower.
The 2011 Aston Martin Virage comes with antilock carbon-ceramic brakes, traction and stability control, front side airbags (which protect head and torso) and parking sensors. The Volante comes standard with automatically deploying rollover bars.
Interior Design and Special Features
It's difficult to find a surface in the Virage that's not covered in soft leather, while wood, piano black, alloy trim and even sapphire crystal fill in the blanks. Easily deciphered buttons combine with a central LCD screen to create a user-friendly interface, and the Virage is the first Aston to get a greatly improved Garmin-sourced navigation system.
Unfortunately, the Virage maintains the ornate Aston Martin gauges and their strange oppositely rotating dials (the speedometer needle swings clockwise; the tachometer goes counter-clockwise). The speedometer's tiny numbers also render it largely useless, although there's a digital speedometer in the trip computer as a backup.
The driver seat is marvelously comfortable, with ample leg- and headroom for taller drivers. But since no human is likely to ever fit in the backseat, you might as well opt for the parcel shelf for the coupe instead. For larger items, the trunk is actually quite generous for an exotic sports car. As for the Volante, visibility isn't great with the top raised and wind buffeting can be tiresome.
Driving Impressions
If you're cross-shopping Aston Martins, get ready to hear a lot of the same old descriptions. The 2011 Aston Martin Virage is surprisingly easy to drive, with decent outward visibility and a traditional automatic transmission that delivers smooth shifts without the jerkiness associated with fancier automated manuals. The car is also quite comfortable, with supportive seats and a compliant ride quality. The steering is precise, and the car's 50/50 weight balance assures neutral handling. As for the engine, it provides the same thrilling experience that you get from the DB9 and DBS, which is to say, abundant power accompanied by the glorious song of a wailing V12.
So how is the Virage different from other Aston Martin models? Well, it really comes down to its suspension. While the DB9 and DBS both have adjustable suspensions, the Virage goes a step further with a suspension that automatically adapts to road conditions. The result is not only a better ride but also handling that more adeptly deals with pavement imperfections that would usually knock the DBs out of whack (especially in their Sport modes). While the Virage might not attack corners with the same skill as the pricier DBS, it's likely to be a more livable car on a day-to-day basis.

Choosing Dividend Stocks: Six Steps For Finding These Safe, High-Yield Investments
by Louis Basenese, Small Cap and Special Situations Expert
Friday, January 22, 2010: Issue #1181
The latest tally from famed professor, Jeremy Siegel – author of the investing classic, Stocks for the Long Run - proves that dividend stocks are still the best investment. Period.
Yet everyone still loves to dog them for being boring and slow growers.
Big mistake.
Let me prove to you just how profitable dividend stocks can be – and then show you how to find the safest, highest-yielding investments in this market.
How a 3.7% Gain Means An Extra $370,000
In his study, Professor Siegel sorted the S&P 500 stocks by dividend yield, dating back to 1957, and recorded the return of the top 100 dividend-yielders versus the bottom 100 for each year.
The result?
Investing in the top yielders delivered an annualized average return of 12.5%, compared to an average return of 8.8% for the lowest yielders.
Now, a 3.7% difference might not seem like much. But if you started with a $1,000 portfolio and reinvested all the dividends, it would be worth $450,000 today. That compares to only $80,000 without the extra 3.7% pop.
So if you're serious about making money – and I suspect you are – dividend-paying stocks are essential to your portfolio.
But how do we go about finding safe, dividend-paying stocks in this market?
After all, companies keep slashing dividends by a record amount. From 2007 to 2009, total dividend payments slumped by $72 billion – the worst decline in over 50 years.
Six Steps to Finding the Best Dividend-Yielding Stocks
When looking for the best high-yield dividend stocks, the simple answer might sound a bit backwards: Don't chase yield.
This is because a high yield typically indicates that there's a higher risk of the dividend being cut or – even worse – being eliminated altogether.
Instead, focus on companies with the following six characteristics:
- Simple Business: The fewer moving parts, the fewer things that can go wrong, thus sapping cash intended for dividend payments. So focus on companies with businesses that you understand, rather than massive corporations that have dozens of (often puzzling) operating segments. That means shunning companies like General Electric (NYSE: GE) and its countless divisions, and instead going for companies like Philip Morris (NYSE: PM), which only does one thing and kicks back a $2.32 per share annual dividend (a 4.6% yield).
- Steady Demand: After identifying companies with simple business models, the next step is to verify that there is demand for the product(s). After all, a company needs a steady stream of cash, so it can afford to pay dividends to shareholders. Stick to industries or sectors with recession-proof or recession-resistant demand (food, alcohol, tobacco, healthcare, etc.)
- Cash Flow Positive: If a company isn't generating cash each quarter, the only way to pay a dividend is by borrowing or tapping into cash reserves. Such practices aren't sustainable over the long-term – and the dividend will eventually be cut.
- High Cash Balance: Speaking of cash… it's still king. Especially when it comes to maintaining a dividend. Consider it insurance against any unexpected slowdowns. At a minimum, insist on enough cash to cover one quarter's worth of dividends.
- Minimal Need for Credit: Securing credit in this market is extremely difficult. Accordingly, I recommend focusing on companies that don't need to raise significant amounts of capital. That's because when interest rates rise, so will their interest payments. I also suggest you look at companies with a reasonable, or low debt load. This ensures that interest payments won't sap money intended for us.
- Earnings Buffer: Insist on a dividend payout ratio (annual dividends divided by annual net income) of 80% or less. This will provide ample wiggle room for the company to pay the dividend in the event of an unexpected slowdown. Or even better, to justify raising the dividend.
Three Profitable Dividend Stocks to Buy Now
After enjoying a hearty rebound in 2009, don't be surprised if dividend investing starts attracting the herd in 2010. Many didn't fully participate in the rally and now are undervalued, so they represent a safe way to invest in stocks.
Add in the fact that Treasuries still sport record-low yields and corporate bonds have already enjoyed a historic rally… and dividend stocks become even more attractive.
So I recommend that you front-run other investors. And the time to do that is now.
I've covered several suitable and safe dividend stocks in previous Investment U columns. In addition to Philip Morris that I mentioned a moment ago, you should also consider…
- Windstream Corp. (Nasdaq: WIN), which sports a $1 per share annual dividend (9.2% yield).
- Lorillard (NYSE: LO), which pays a hearty $4 per share annually (5.2% yield).
All three stocks remain attractive at current prices.
Good (and safe) investing,

Tom Says:
A quick question about dividend stocks, should you re-invest the dividends or allow dividend to increase cash balance?
Investment U Says:
That really depends on what your personal situation and what you're looking to get out of your investing experience. We suggest that you consult a financial advisor about which is best for you.
Good investing,
Investment U
Donald A. Barnhorst Says:
Mr. Basenese:
In your January 22 Investment U article you refer to a stock you recommended in the latest issue of the Oxford Club Communique. The January, 2010 issue is the latest on the web page. In that communique you dealt with small-cap stocks, and I cannot find reference to the undervalued company with history of increasing dividends. Are you possibly referring to a recommendation in the forthcoming February communique which has not yet made it to the web page?
Thank you.
Don Barnhorst
Archibald Says:
Like the article says: beware of very high dividend yields. There are plenty of stocks available that still pay a respectable dividend.

I believe I am a member of Oxford Club. If so, why continue to send me wasteful teasers?
If I'm not a member, please advise.

Joe Mule Says:
If we find dividends paying stocks that come right back to market value after the ex-date (WIN) why wouldn't you just bounce from stock to stock using the multiple dividends each month, lets say 3, and starting with $10k. The dividends more then pay for the transaction costs and with some of the higher yielding companies this could really add up.
Ron D Says:
I might have missed the reply to this ?– please let me know any replys to the ? about buying and selling dividend stocks after ex-dividend date and repeating the same thing over and over to make a nice income–
Muneer Says:
This is a great article all dividend investors should read. You should also inspect the dividend payout ratio of most companies, and anything in excess of 80% signals trouble ahead & potential dividend cuts.
Also have a read at 5 tricks to successful dividend investing at http://www.high-yield-dividend-stocks.com/successful-dividend-investing.html
These are not really tricks but essential must-dos for any income investor. For example, a sample trick from the article that I like the most is:
Don't Chase High Yield Dividend Stocks without Understanding the Business
Value investor Warren Buffet never buys a stock; he buys companies & businesses that he understands and thinks will be valuable businesses over the long term.

Who would have thought one photograph of three mysterious Longboat Key fishermen would get so much press? And the subjects weren't even posing with a 60-pound mackerel.
Captured fishing off a public pier near Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant & Pub some four years ago, the men were watching their lures bob in the bay when Longboat Key resident and photographer Mary Lou Johnson spied them through the lens of her Nikon D2X camera.
It was 6:30 in the morning. The sun was rising behind Sister Keys, and Johnson was drawn to the men's silhouettes and reflections. She got lucky with the composition. The men had arranged themselves symmetrically without even realizing they were being photographed.
The photo earned Johnson an award for "Best Depiction of Longboat Key" at the Longboat Key Center for the Arts, a Division of Ringling College of Art and Design, and placed first at a juried art show at Art Center Sarasota.
It took Johnson a year to track down the fishing buddies, who she learned are snowbirds who meet every Thursday morning to fish off the north Longboat pier. Coincidentally, when she titled her photo "Morning Ritual," she wasn't aware of this fact.
"Their wives went nuts when they saw the picture," says Johnson. "They asked for the rights to run the photo in their hometown papers."
Now the photo is getting national attention in the current issue of Shutterbug magazine. Johnson, who submitted the photo months ago because she felt it had a "neat backstory," hadn't even opened the June issue of Shutterbug before a friend in Tampa called on Mother's Day to tell her to turn to page 20.
"I had no idea it was going to be in there," Johnson says.
The photograph, printed on a gallery canvas wrap and hung at the top of Johnson's staircase, is one of the photographer's favorite images — of which there are many.
A former family therapist, Johnson signed up for her first photography class eight years ago after her oldest daughter went off to college. She had always enjoyed documenting family vacations and milestones with point-and-shoot cameras but never seriously honed the skill until she was an empty-nester.
In 2003, she enrolled in digital-photography classes at the New York Institute for Photography and has produced a steady stream of work since, including portraits, still-life photography, architecture and non-profit work for Habitat for Humanity.
Still, the majority of her images seem to spotlight local sea life, birds and beachscapes.
"I'd say at least 85% of my photos are shot within a 5-mile radius of my backyard," Johnson says. "I'm always running around Longboat Key on some kind of photography mission."

I've read that fp 11.2 will support only new version of Alchemy. But I couldn't find any information on this. Where can I find info on Alchemy2?
Hmm, both the Unity and Unreal 3D engines work with Flash player 11.2 and they are very unlikely to work without using Alchemy.
Which suggests that both Unity and Unreal have "pre-release" versions of the new version of Alchemy. But as, you say, we can't find any information.
My suspicion is that the flash player team are allowed to give us hints and sneak previews of new flash player features but the new alchemy compiler probably comes under a different team who have been ordered to keep quiet
I wonder if its still going to be dependent on threading being implemented in Flash (as mentioned at adobe max). It seems like that feature is never going to come out.
The longer adobe drags their feet on this (4 years and counting), the more compelling things like emscripten become.
Can we all please get an update on Alchemy 2 release date? I don't understand what is so difficult about keeping lines of communication open with your development community. We love your products, that's why we have devoted our livelihood to them. Please help ease our anxieties with a little information. Weekly updates would be nice.
It will be released later this year, you can sign up for the pre-release here if you want to beta test it: https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=FYonhPd8lGDTb13YuB-5rg

Just as the previous strategic plan propelled growth and contributed to the University's ascension as the region's largest employer, the current plan will strengthen the Medical Center's role as an engine for local economic development – by growing our patient care services, research programs, and consequently, our intellectual capital.
By 2015, the Strategic Plan will result in the hiring of 771 new staff at the Medical Center – research/clinical faculty and support staff. A Center for Governmental Research study estimates the plan will also result in the creation of an additional 1,000 permanent jobs in the community and the capital projects will sustain on average 1,400 construction jobs per year between 2008 and 2012. CGR also estimates that by 2015, research funding at URMC will increase by approximately $50 million over current levels as a result of investments in research infrastructure and faculty.
The growth in research in particular will strengthen the Medical Center's role as a catalyst for economic development. New technologies are an important byproduct of research and these advances can be harnessed for regional economic growth. The University already has a strong track record of developing new technologies with high commercial value and transferring these innovations into the marketplace.
The University of Rochester Medical Center's research enterprise is an essential regional resource for both existing and new companies. The Medical Center is an important strategic research partner with several Rochester-based medical technology companies, including long standing collaborations with Bausch & Lomb and CareStream. The University has also created an integrated system of professional services and resources to help new technology-based start-up companies get off the ground, including biotechnology incubation facilities, business support services, and early stage financing.
The 2007-2012 Strategic Plan, through its marriage of investment in cutting-edge research programs with an emphasis on clinical and translational science, will grow the research pipeline and result in technologies that are more mature and, therefore, closer to the market. By continuing to assemble resources that foster early stage technology companies and working in close partnership with the Rochester business community and the public sector, the new technologies that emerge from the Medical Center over the next several years will continue to fuel the region's economic transformation.
URMC's academic missions – and the breadth that they bring to our clinical services – set it apart from other local health care providers. Investments in the Medical Center can be leveraged and returned to the community in myriad ways: through job creation, greater educational opportunity, and research breakthroughs that improve health care.

I suspect that many Americans will ignore the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks unless they are reminded in a way they cannot ignore.
When people know they are in a war they often use sirens to warn when the enemy is attacking. No sirens were sounded to warn of 9/11 because Americans didn't realize they were under attack until the attacks were over. The only plane for which a warning was given was brought down by its heroic passengers before it could reach its target.
The anniversary of the 9/11 attacks provides an opportunity to remind Americans that the fact 9/11 happened means not only that such an attack can happen, but it could happen again if we become as complacent as we were ten years ago.
No sirens sounded on 9/11/2001, but we could sound sirens this year to remind Americans that we are still in danger of a potential attack.
For those in the Eastern time zone, storm sirens would sound at the exact time of each plane crash. In the Central time zone, cities might do like they do with television and sound the sirens while they are sounding in the Eastern time zone. Due to the early hour of the first attacks, sirens in the Mountain time zone and farther west, particularly in Alaska and Hawaii, might sound at the same time of day as the attacks. The Central time zone might want to consider a similar approach.
In communities without storm sirens, emergency vehicle sirens might be used. Truck air horns could be used in place in rural areas where there aren't any emergency vehicles. Church bells were often used to warn of danger in the past and could be used along with sirens or instead of sirens. This action would be particularly appropriate considering the anniversary will be on Sunday.
In addition to, or instead of, the sirens, the emergency alert system for radio and television might transmit a reminder at the time of each attack. There were four crashes and we have four living former presidents. Perhaps each of them could remind people of one of the attacks.
I've been watching 9/11 documentaries the last week. Some of them have mentioned the failure to recognize the significance of information indicating the attack threat even among those whose profession was to watch for such threats. A national feeling that the continental U.S. was some how immune from any significant foreign attack may have prevented people at the FBI and CIA from recognizing the threat.
These professionals had forgotten that a similar failure to recognize a potential threat had allowed the Japanese to pull off a highly successful surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. There is a theory that President Franklin Roosevelt withheld intelligence information from Pearl Harbor commanders. Commanders at Pearl Harbor should have recognized there was a threat of attack without inside information because there was a war on.
Terrorist attacks had occurred in other parts of the world before 9/11. People at the FBI and CIA should have been watching for any signs that someone might attack America itself.
The fact that no major attack has happened since 2001 may be causing some to feel the problem of terrorist attacks has been solved. Those who feel this way are ignoring the fact that the terrorists most likely to get away with such an attack have been busy fighting our military personnel in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Those attempting terrorist acts in the U.S. have been individuals who don't have the ability of the 9/11 hijackers or those who have conducted terrorist acts outside the U.S. Some would be local terrorists have been so careless they have made the mistake of letting undercover officers become a part of their conspiracies.
There are a couple of interesting 9/11 series currently running. "Inside 9/11″ on the National Geographic Channel is an investigative series. "Rising: Rebuilding Ground Zero" on the Discovery and Science channels deals with replacing the World Trade Center. The episodes "Reclaiming the Skyline" follows construction of the tallest new building. One of the iron workers the show focuses on had a father who was injured building the original World Trade Center.

On The Main Line
Weekend of August 23-24
Customers planning to use
the LIRR's Main Line on the weekend of August 23-24 are strongly advised
to consider using one of the Railroad's South Shore branches or the Port
Washington Branch, as buses will replace trains between Jamaica and Mineola
during this 48-hour period. This suspension of service is necessary to
allow LIRR workers to complete a major signal upgrade as the Queens Interlocking
Switch & Signal Improvement Project nears completion (on September
"This is the final phase of an important project that would not have
been possible without the cooperation of our customers all summer long," said
the Railroad's president, Helena Williams. "We have tried very hard
to minimize the impact, but over this weekend it is particularly important
for our customers to be aware of what's happening. We want everyone who
plans to ride the Railroad that weekend to be ready to adjust their travel
plans accordingly."
In addition to the busing program that will be instituted during this suspension,
some trains will be rerouted, connection times will be changed, and schedules
for most branches will be altered.
Customers who must travel along the Main Line are urged to pick up the
special weekend timetables for their branch, and to plan for 30-45 minutes
of additional travel time. To avoid lengthy delays, our weekend customers
should consider making their way to the Babylon, Far Rockaway, Long Beach,
Montauk, Port Washington or West Hempstead branches.
Here are some of the essential facts weekend LIRR customers should know:
- Hempstead Branch will be closed, with buses replacing all trains
- Ronkonkoma Branch East of Ronkonkoma will be closed, with buses replacing all trains
- Between 12 AM and 7 AM, Ronkonkoma Branch trains will operate to Mineola, where buses will provide service to Jamaica
- From 7 AM until Midnight, Ronkonkoma Branch trains will be replaced by diesel equipment that will operate to Farmingdale, and then south on the Central Branch to Babylon, where they will turn west to Jamaica
- Port Jefferson/Huntington Branch trains will operate to Mineola where buses will complete the trip to Jamaica (and reverse)
- Oyster Bay Branch will operate to Mineola where buses will complete the trip to Jamaica (and reverse)
Visit Service Suspended Between Mineola and Jamaica for more details, or call the LIRR's 24-hour Travel Information Center (631-231-LIRR; 516-822-LIRR; or 718-217-LIRR) for additional assistance.
Be TrainSmart - Wait Behind the Gate
The current phase of our Be TrainSmart Campaign implores
the public to exercise extreme caution when crossing the LIRR's tracks.
Railroad crossings are dangerous areas and we want both motorists and
pedestrians to be especially attentive and cautious when around them.
Our suggestions include:
- Always expect a train at every crossing
- Only cross tracks at dedicated locations
- Don't cross tracks unless there is room on the other side for your vehicle
- And NEVER drive around lowered gates
Help us keep you safe - Be TrainSmart. Tune In To Safety!
Labor Day Getaway Service
Labor Day Weekend will feature traditional early afternoon getaway trains
on Friday, August 29. The extra service will include three trains each
for the Babylon and Port Jefferson branches and one train each for the
Port Washington and Far Rockaway branches. Check your current schedules
for details ... or view your schedule on the our website.
2008 U.S. Tennis Open
2008 U.S. Open Championship will start on Monday, August 25 and continue
through Sunday, September 7. These matches are expected to attract well
over 700,000 fans, maintaining the Open's distinction as the highest attended
annual sporting event in the world. The LIRR is the most convenient and
comfortable way to go see these magnificent athletes - with no traffic
... no parking fees ... and no hassles. Be sure to buy your tickets in
advance. For more U.S. Tennis Open fare and schedule information, see our website or
call 718-217-LIRR.
Normal Schedules Return September 2
The new schedule that will go into effect on Tuesday, September 2 marks
the return of normal service ... with some beneficial schedule adjustments,
including an AM Reverse Peak train to Hempstead from Penn Station, added
AM and PM Peak service to St. Albans, and added PM Peak service to Forest
Hills and Kew Gardens.
Construction projects will impact midday and weekend customers on the Port
Jefferson, Ronkonkoma, Oyster Bay and Port Washington branches while this
timetable is in effect. Customers on all branches should review the new
timetables dated September 2 through November 9 for complete details.
We send a "Thank You" to all of our customers for their patience
with the summer schedule, which permitted important signal and switch upgrades
to be completed. For additional information you can contact us at our 24-hour
Travel Information Center, or visit the LIRR's website.

Monthly OTP
The final tally for July was a solid 94.24% ... however, the month's AM
Peak performance was the best we have ever recorded in July (98.33%). It
also tied the 2nd best OTP for all Peak periods (AM and PM) since 1979
... surpassed only by the 98.35% April AM Peak set earlier this year. After
seven months, this year's overall OTP is 95.38%.

Hamburger assembly, packaging gets synchronized
This procedure guarantees sortation at a continuously high output level without the need for buffering. The speed is important for two reasons. First, it provides a high output, and second, it ensures that the burgers are processed quickly enough to prevent thawing. The cheese slices are also easier to process when cold. An increase in temperature can cause the slices to begin sticking to each other. Overhead light scanners integrated upstream from the transfer point to the assembly and packaging line provide the necessary quality assurance. The color scanner supplies a three-dimensional picture of the buns, burgers, sauce sachets, and cheese. As well as evaluating the precise position and rotational angle of the items, the sensors also compare surface dimensions and contour data to operator-specified values and transmit this information to the robots.
The first section of the assembly and packaging line comprises two TLM machine frames housing four TLM-F4 four-axis robot units. The buns enter the line on a wide product conveyor after being cut open by an upstream bun saw. Each robot then takes responsibility for a different task in sequence. The first robot lifts the lid of the bun and places it alongside its base on the conveyor. The next picks up a frozen burger and places it on the base. The third replaces the lid onto the base, and the last robot transfers the assembled hamburger onto a conveyor. The conveyor carries the products to the next stage of the process, where it runs alongside the thermoforming machine.
The next two TLM machine frames are placed above the film web of the tf/f/s machine and the conveyor, and include two robots. The first, a four-axis TLM-F44 robot comprising two TLM-F4 pickers, inserts a sauce sachet and then a cheese slice into a formed blister, after which a two-axis TLM-F2 robot with special end-of-arm tooling picks up eight hamburgers at a time from the conveyor and positions them into eight film cavities. The thermoforming machine then seals the packs with film lidding and finally punches the packs out of the web, ready for downstream processes.
All the units involved in the process—from the bun saw through to the thermoforming machine—are linked to the TLM line by means of signal exchange and a speed target value. Data exchange is organized on the level of the Schubert VMS control system. The units react through the VMS control system to any product-flow disruptions taking place on other parts of the line. If, for instance, the supply of burgers stops due to rejection of several products by the vision system, then the VMS control system slows down the dependent processes briefly until the quality target values are restored. The overall sequence is maintained, and no rejects are produced. In a conventional system without regulation capability, the inability to react results first in quality problems (hamburgers with no burger) and finally in a machine stop.
The optimized process-management concept from IPS has permitted the thermoforming machine cycle to be increased to 88 products/min. Changeover to accommodate five different varieties of Rustlers products takes no more than five minutes: three minutes to exchange the five tools at the TLM-F4 robot arms and select the program at the TLM display, and depending on the packaging, another two minutes to change the film in the thermoforming machine. The overall line is configured in a wash-down design, permitting high water-pressure cleaning using detergents.

Hospital to host solar developmentRutlands latest solar project will be built near the hospital.
Green Mountain Power announced Thursday it plans to build a 150-kilowatt solar array on property off Allen Street. The property, owned by Rutland Regional Medical Center, contains two stormwater retention ponds and is adjacent to the hospitals walking path.
As part of the lease agreement, GMP will credit the hospital for 10 percent of the arrays output. Steve Costello, GMPs vice president of generation and energy innovation, said that should come to roughly $4,000 a year.
Thats an estimate based on what we think production should be, he said.
Information was not immediately available Thursday on the hospitals expected electrical output, but Costello said the project would be equivalent to only a fraction of what RRMC uses.
On a perfect sunny day with nice sky, it could produce enough energy for 150 homes, he said.
Costello said the project makes use of land that could not be developed in many other ways and would also include an education center intended to become a destination for local schools.
Weve had thousands of kids to the (solar) center up on Route 7, he said. In Vermont, fourth grade and seventh grade there are curriculums related to electricity. ... Theres a huge appetite.
GMP will put the project out to bid next month as it works through the state Public Service Board.
The approval process for a project this size is typically 30 to 45 days, Costello said. Its pretty quick.
The utility has already built a 150-kilowatt solar array off Cleveland Avenue and purchased a majority share of a similar array off Woodstock Avenue.
GMP is developing plans for a much larger project, with a potential capacity of 2.3 megawatts, on the former city landfill. The landfill project would be the largest solar development in the state.
Costello said more projects are in the works and the city could see more announcements in the coming weeks.

Stadion Petrovskij — Sankt-Peterburg (St. Petersburg)
Referee: Carlos Velasco
Attendance: 19748
90′ +2
Full Time. The referee brings a rare Liverpool counter to a half with the final whistle. 2-0 is the final score, and Liverpool face the prospect of reversing a two goal deficit at Anfield in two weeks' time. They'll rue their lax finishing in the first half, and their defending in the second. Thanks for reading!
Jamie Carragher hounds Hulk down on the halfway line and fouls the Brazilian, leaving him on the floor. Frustration. Free kick Zenit.
The home crowd have livened up, and Zenit are playing the ball around nicely now. It's difficult to see this scoreline changing before the final whistle.
Luis Suarez wins a free kick on the edge of the box, before stepping up to bend a decent effort towards Malafeev's bottom corner. The Russian keeper gets down well to parry away.
Yellow Card Neto
Substitution Aleksandr Kerzhakov Viktor Faizulin
The newly introduced Lucas Leiva picks out Downing on the right wing, who wins a corner for his side.
Substitution Raheem Sterling Lucas Leiva
Liverpool have managed to relieve some of the home pressure, with Enrique and Gerrard both succeeding in carrying the ball into the Zenit half.
Funny game, football. Just as Brendan Rodgers' side were looking the most comfortable they had been all game, a quick brace of goals means they're now a long-shot to recover the tie, let alone the game. Zenit are palpably invigorated by their two goals, trapping their visitors inside their own half for the time being.
Assist Alexander Anyukov
Goal Sergey Semak
GOAL! It's 2-0, with substitute Sergey Semak adding a quickfire second. The Russian tucks in a low cross at the near post, after the away defence fails to clear a relatively harmless delivery.

Assist Igor Denisov
Goal Hulk
GOAL! We have an opener, and it's Hulk who has his name on the scoresheet, with an absolute bullet of a strike. Picking the ball up yet again in front of the Liverpool defence, the Brazilian belted an effort into the top corner of Pepe Reina's goal from all of 25 yards. Fine strike.

Zenit's attacks are increasingly petering out in this second half. Another through ball is overhit into touch, and the loss of playmaker Danny is clearly telling.
Enrique is growing into the clash, showing a far more assured touch than he has done in recent weeks, and offering a good outlet down the left flank.
Suarez sends another fine chance wide, after Stewart Downing foraged in from the left and laid the ball into the Uruguayan's path. Suarez, with the whole goal to aim at from the edge of the box, bent his side-footed effort inches past the post.
Yellow Card Tomás Hubocan
The tempo of the game has slowed since the beginning of the second half, with both sides opting for more measured build-up play.
Substitution Danny Sergey Semak
Danny, who looks to have picked up a knock, is replaced by Sergey Semak.
Danny, who looks to have picked up a knock, is replaced by Sergey Semak.
Johnson shows his worth at the other end, nipping a Zenit counter attack in the bud following an easily dealt with free kick from Steven Gerrard.
Magnificent stuff from Glen Johnson as the full back stampedes forward across all of 60 yards, beating three men on his way, and prods a shot at goal that's tipped out for a corner by Malafeev.
And we're away again for the second half. Surely there's goals on the cards in this game...
The half-time scoreline is a deceptive one, as we've had no shortage of chances in Russia. Luis Suarez in particular should have had two, but reverted back to the profligate finisher of last season when presented with each opportunity. The hosts, too, have forced Pepe Reina into two wonderful saves within the opening ten minutes. In short, it's a very decent game, and simmering nicely.
45′ +1
The referee signals for half time, and - somehow - it's 0-0 at the break. Each side could have netted at least twice, but they head down the tunnel level and goalless.
Liverpool's backline is coping a lot better with the hosts' attacks now, with Martin Skrtel especially dominant in the challenge. Down the other end of the field, Stewart Downing cuts in from the right and sends a left-footed strike high and wide.
Raheem Sterling, from the left byline, picks out Suarez inside the six yard box. Never one to take the simple option when an elaborate one is available, Suarez goes for a backheeled flick at goal, which flashes just wide. Another golden chance missed. Still nil-nil.
Jose Enrique has been looking to get forward when possible throughout the half, this time just failing to get on the end of a slightly overhit ball from Gerrard.
Glen Johnson - who had an absolute mare on Monday night, by the way - makes his way into the Zenit box, but the ball is shepherded out by a defender. He looks back to his reliable self so far, though, Johnson.
It's -5 degrees on the St Petersburg pitch, I'm reliably informed. Jamie Carragher, of course, sports shorts sleeves. Man's game.
Kerzhakov looks to connect with a cross with an acrobatic overhead scissor-kick... but connects with precisely nothing of the ball and plenty of thin air. The cross sails past him and out for a throw.
Yet another save from Reina - though less convincing this time, as he gets down to shovel a Hulk strike onto his near post and the ball squirms back off the woodwork, along the goal-line, and is cleared away to safety.
Hulk breaks forward once again from midfield, marauding past/through/over Joe Allen, before Jamie Carragher takes the ball expertly off of his toes as he made his way into the penalty box. Fine defending.
Suarez - surprise surprise, Liverpool's main threat - is flagged offside after being released beyond the defence by Gerrard. It looked tight, that, and the Uruguayan will fancy his chances of unpicking this backline once or twice more over the course of this game.
Saint Steven of Gerrard takes, but the ref blows up for some grappling in the box. Spoilsport.
The game looks to have settled into something approaching a rhythm after the frantic opening. Liverpool win a corner after finally happening upon some sustained possession.
Yellow Card Martin Skrtel
Skrtel picks up a booking against his old club for a high foot.
Skrtel picks up a booking against his old club for a high foot.
It should be one-nil Liverpool here, Lombaerts losing possession cheaply on the edge of his own box, and Suarez seizing on the loose ball to drive at goal. He takes the ball too far wide trying to round the keeper though, and the chance dissipates.
And for those of you who are spending your evening on your computer reading this play-by-play report, and yet DON'T boast a better half - improbable as it may be - have a fine evening nonetheless.
And by the way, Happy Valentines Day to you all! Here's hoping that today's game delivers an evening of sizzling European romance - preferably with a enjoyable climax.
Gerrard's looks to find his passing range with a raking left-to-right ball out to Downing, but the pass is just cut out.
Bar the odd Suarez breakaway, Zenit have their visitors pinned in their own half in these opening stages, playing the ball nicely around the edge of the box.
Pepe Reina makes another fine stop, turning Hulk's drilled effort around his left hand post after the Brazilian had broken forward from deep and lashed one at goal from the edge of the box. Six minutes in, and we could have had three goals.
Great save! Liverpool could and probably should be behind here, as the corner breaks to Kerzhakov who sees his low shot turned improbably away by Pepe Reina from point blank range. Down the other end, Luis Suarez latches on to a nicely floated long ball from Glen Johnson, ghosts past his marker, and side foots inches wide. A lively start!
The team are out, handshakes are done, and we're off. Early corner for the hosts after Danny breaks down the left.
In Danny, Hulk and Axel Witsel, Zenit boast three £30m-plus players in their starting line-up. Liverpool's only ever £30m-plus player is currently reclining on his sofa and running his fingers through his mane, with eleven days until his next fixture, when West Ham host Tottenham.
So, Mr Rodgers has named almost as strong a side as is available to him, with perhaps only Agger and Lucas the first-choice players left out of tonight's XI by choice. Liverpool needs a big performance - and indeed a result - after Monday's shenanigans against West Brom. ITV's Peter Drury has just described that Liverpool performance as "good", which means he and I must have been watching different games.
Liverpool starting XI: Reina; Johnson, Carragher, Skrtel, Enrique; Allen, Henderson, Gerrard; Sterling, Suarez, Downing.
Subs: Jones, Coates, Lucas, Borini, Shelvey, Suso, Wisdom.
Zenit starting XI: Malafeev; Anyukov, Lombaerts, Luis Neto, Hubocan, Shirokov, Denisov, Witsel, Danny, Kerzhakov, Hulk.
Subs: Zhevnov, Rodic, Lukovic, Fayzulin, Semak, Evseev, Djordjevic.
Good afternoon all, and welcome to Goal.com's live Play-by-Play coverage of Liverpool's trip to Zenit St Petersburg. I'm Alex Hess, and I'll be taking you through today's game. The team news is in and will follow shortly...

VHBG names new president
The Board of Governors of Virginia Home for Boys and Girls (VHBG) recently named Claiborne S. Mason (pictured) to serve as president. She began her tenure Aug. 6. Mason, 52, is the owner of the strategic planning and marketing firm C.S. Mason Consulting and most recently served as interim chief executive officer of United Way of Greater Richmond and Petersburg. "I'm inspired by people who work at nonprofits," Mason said. "In my roles on various boards and my consulting business it's always been gratifying to be a part of the incredible work that happens in the nonprofit community." Mason began her work in the Richmond nonprofit community 15 years ago when she volunteered to serve on the marketing committee for United Way of Greater Richmond and Petersburg. She led multiple initiatives and joined the Board of Directors in 1997 before her stint as interim CEO. "Claiborne's many years of volunteer service and consulting experience within the local nonprofit community, her recent leadership of United Way, and her business background make her the ideal person to lead this organization," said Thomas J. Dillon, III, VHBG Board Chair and attorney with Hirschler Fleischer. "She brings a unique perspective on the needs and challenges of nonprofit organizations, and a passion to serve the children and families of our community," said Dillon. Mason succeeds former president Chris Schultz, who left the organization in 2011. Since then, a search committee of the board, co-chaired by VHBG Board members Austin Brockenbrough, III and Kathleen Luke conducted an extensive search to fill the President's role. "The VHBG Board of Governors charged the search committee with finding a leader who could steer the organization strategically through a time of rapidly changing conditions in the human services arena. It was imperative that we find someone who has the skills and experience to successfully position us for future success," said Brockenbrough, founding partner of investment firm Lowe Brockenbrough & Co., Inc. "With Claiborne at the helm, we are confident that VHBG and its Board of Governors will be well positioned to effectively build on our legacy of providing an environment of strength and hope, where children and families are empowered to greater success." Mason serves on the Board of Directors for Gateway Homes, which provides a residential treatment program for adults with mental illness who are striving for independence. "It's always rewarding to be a part of critical programs that strengthen our community," she said. Her passion for nonprofits is even part of her children's lives. Her oldest daughter is interning at the local nonprofit Higher Achievement. Since 1846, VHBG has has provided permanent family for children in the Central Virginia area. VHBG is the only site in Virginia certified by the International Teaching-Family Association. |

Khumba-ya? Not quite
But animated South African film has its moments
You might have seen something called Khumba while clicking through a Redbox recently (or perhaps it was nestled in some hidden corner of a DVD sale shelf). And chances are, you passed it by without much of a thought. Makes sense; that goggle-eyed cartoon zebra on the cover (a zebra that's dangerously close to becoming Madagascar copyright infringement) doesn't inspire much confidence.
But when Khumba starts up, it looks nothing like you'd expect. The camera gazes across the savannah and the soundtrack swells with triumphant South African vocals. > Read more.

Abstract emotion
Abstract paintings of Inge Strack (pictured) are on display through March 9 at the Gumenick Family Gallery at The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen. Strack, a Chestefield painter of German origin, often paints in bold colors with a deep sense of emotion, focusing on brushstrokes, texture and form to find a balance. Strack's painting is routed in the European tradition of expressionism but has found its own, unique language in following the American dream.
"I am not attempting to abstract the physical world," she said. "I draw my subject matter from inside of myself hoping to create a constant conversation between the viewer and the painting, especially since abstracts do not seem to answer but ask." > Read more.
