Women-Focused HIV Prevention in the Western Cape
Principal Investigator: W M Wechsberg
Affiliation: RTI International
Country: USA
Abstract: Results from a 2005 antenatal survey conducted in all nine South African provinces indicate that the Western Cape Province had the highest rate of increase of HIV infection among all provinces: from 13.1% in 2003 to 15.7% in 2005. Among Black African and Coloured women, noninjecting drug use is associated with high-risk sexual behavior, HIV seropositivity, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In addition, violence against women is widespread in South Africa, which further exacerbates their HIV risks. A recent pilot study conducted in the Western Cape townships explored an evidence-based woman-focused intervention to reduce drug use, sexual risk, and victimization by addressing the intersection of these factors among poor, substance-using women. The pilot study explored the feasibility and promise of the woman-focused intervention in both an individual and group-based format through a small randomized trial. Both Black African and Coloured women reported high levels of substance abuse, as well as high levels of sexual risk behavior (e.g., multiple partners and unprotected sex) and victimization. Findings from the pilot study suggest that women reduced substance use (with biological verification), sexual risk behavior, and victimization. The group intervention, however, created an ongoing effect in the community in which women who participated in the two group sessions continued to meet after the study ended to provide support for one another and reinforce positive changes. The group format complemented the strong sense of community cohesion intrinsic to the Western Cape townships. The proposed revised study builds on this pilot study and is designed to reach a larger sample of women via a full-scale effectiveness study by adding a woman-focused intervention after voluntary counseling and testing (VCT). This multi-method research will conduct an extensive evaluation using qualitative and quantitative methods, repeated measures, and biological testing to determine the effectiveness of the woman-focused intervention to increase knowledge and skills to reduce substance abuse, sexual risk behaviors, and victimization. Former pilot study participants indigenous to the target communities will be trained as outreach workers to screen, recruit, and track 900 female study participants. The primary aim of the study is: Aim 1. To test the effectiveness, through a randomized controlled trial, of VCT plus a woman-focused intervention relative to VCT only to increase knowledge and skills to reduce substance abuse, sexual risk, and victimization, and to an equal-attention (nutrition) control group at 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month follow-ups. The secondary aim of the study is as follows: Aim 2. To examine the moderating effect of victimization (i.e., sexual and physical) and the mediating effects of HIV risk knowledge, condom use skills, sexual negotiation assertiveness, and relationship power on the effectiveness of the woman-focused groups to decrease risk related to drug use, sexual risk, and sex-related- victimization relative to the rapid testing group and to the equal-attention control group.

Live iPhone 5 launch coverageAt last, the iPhone 5 launch cometh. So, will it be the taller, thinner, unibody iPhone we've been seeing leaked every way from Sunday for the last few months, or does Apple have something entirely different up its sleeve? We'll find out soon enough.
Update order: Newest first | Oldest first
Manual updating, hit F5!
11:57AM - Hands-on time, see you next time! Thanks for tuning in, folks.
11:50AM - Oh, just in case you missed it before (I know, these updates scroll by fast!), we've got pages up for the new Apple iPhone 5, Apple iPod touch 5th-gen, and Apple iPod nano 7th-gen, hit it! We also have a new tool that lets you see the devices in life size on your screen, it's pretty wild — just click the "view actual size" button!
11:48AM - Dave Grohl, between the singing and chording: "One of the best things about being here is getting to meet all the incredible people — they're shaping our future. Just like getting to meet someone like Little Richard or Tom Petty or Jimmy Page, you realize these are just people who took it upon themselves to do something different and reshape our future. But they're people, flesh and bone, and it's totally inspiring."
11:45AM - One last thing: we're giving away a new iPhone 5. I know, right? If you haven't already, go subscribe to our newsletter (right from this here page, in the right rail, or you can head here). We'll pick the lucky winner next week!
11:44AM - And always, we'd like to thank the always-awesome team at Rackspace for powering today's live coverage! Those guys really went above and beyond to make it happen. 500,000 requests per minute!
11:44AM - Seriously though, I'd really like to shout out the sponsor of today's coverage, Gazelle! Besides being pretty much the best place around to go trade in your devices for cash, they're also extraordinarily nice and attractive people. Go check 'em out!
11:43AM - More singing, backup guitars, a little drumming. Oh yeah, it's on.
11:42AM - So, you guys want me to liveblog the music? It sounds great. Chords. Singing.
11:42AM - Music events come with musicians, and today we've got the Foo Fighters. Hello.
11:41AM - "They are doing the best work of their lives. Work that has real significance because delivering revolutionary products has real significance in peoples' lives."
11:41AM - "When you look at each of these, they're incredibly industry-leading innovations by themselves. But what sets them apart and sets Apple so ahead of the competition is how well they all work together. … Apple has never been stronger. And that's because of the dedication and creativity of our employees throughout the world."
11:40AM - "We are very excited about all the products we've launched today." Tim's doing the keynote in review.
11:39AM - Ad time! That was fast.
11:38AM - "We do have one more color for each of these as well: Red." To date, Apple has contributed over $50 million to support fighting AIDS in Africa. And now Tim's back.
11:37AM - Review! Shuffle: 2GB, $79+, 7 colors. nano, 16GB starting at $149. Old iPod touch, 16GB starting at $199. New iPod touch at 32GB starting at $299. nano and touch are out in October.
11:36AM - "As you might have guessed, we want to include these with a couple other products." They'll be included with the new touch, nano, and iPhone 5. Hot.
11:36AM - "The new EarPods. We think music lovers are really going to love these. We're going to ship these as a standalone accessory, starting today."
11:34AM - He's calling it a breakthrough in both comfort and audio quality. We'll see about that!
11:33AM - Joz is talking about speakers — headphones, specifically. "We've spent three years designing new headphones, and we call them EarPods."
11:32AM - Did you add all this new gear to your gdgt lists? We've got pages up for the new Apple iPhone 5, Apple iPod touch 5th-gen, and Apple iPod nano 7th-gen, hit it!
11:32AM - iPod touch now also in colors: five of 'em. Nice.
11:31AM - Siri on the touch!
11:30AM - 1080p video on the touch as well. Wireless improved, too — BT 4.0 LE, 802.11a/b/g/n (dual-band), same as the iPhone. AirPlay mirroring! Sweet.
11:29AM - Allows you to pop on a wrist strap (included) just like that. Hey, I love a good hidden button.
11:29AM - Hidden button! iPod touch loop.
11:28AM - It's also getting the new Panorama feature, as you'd expect. iPhoto for iPod touch will be available, too.
11:27AM - iPod touch now gets a really nice 5 megapixel iSight camera.
11:27AM - Demo over, big applause. Joz is back. "So with all this performance, would we sacrifice battery life? Of course, the answer is no." 40 hours music, 8 hours video. Not bad.
11:25AM - My bad, I thought they said iPod touch was A6, sounds like it's actually A5!
11:24AM - Demo time for a game called Clumsy Ninja. Let's do this thing.
11:23AM - A5 processor with up to 7x the performance of previous touches. Makes sense, because the touch has kind of lagged behind the curve a bit.
11:22AM - Lightning, speaker, and "exactly the same 4-inch Retina display we have on the iPhone 5." Good, because iPod touch displays have tended to be significantly worse than their iPhone counterparts.
11:21AM - 6.1mm thin, wild. "Almost as thin as the nano!" Weight is 88 grams.
11:21AM - Finally, an update! 5th-generation, "The best iPod touch we've ever made."
11:20AM - New iPod touch time!
11:20AM - "The longest battery life we've ever had in a nano with up to 30 hours of music playback."
11:19AM - Bluetooth support! Stream music to Jambox, wireless headphones, etc. Naturally, it has the new Lightning connector.
11:19AM - Video is back on the iPod nano! Fitness / pedometer built-in, integrated with Nike+ out of the box. Alright!
11:18AM - FM tuner built in with live pause.
11:18AM - 7 colors! Looking good.
11:17AM - "It's the biggest display we've ever put in a nano at 2.5-inches. And it's multi-touch."
11:17AM - Okay, that's pretty hot.
11:17AM - "It's incredibly portable and incredibly light. Almost 50% thinner than the nano it replaces."
11:16AM - "The new 7th-generation iPod nano."
11:16AM - "When we looked to create a new iPod nano, we wanted to reinvent it." Big display!
11:15AM - "We're going to make some exciting changes to the lineup today." iPod nano's first.
11:15AM - "We've sold over 350 million iPods, and we add millions to this every quarter. But we don't do this just for the numbers, this is part of the DNA of Apple, and we love music."
11:14AM - Yep. Greg Joswiak is up to talk iPod.
11:14AM - Available in October! Time for new iPods?
11:13AM - New iTunes store look, not all that different from what we've got today.
11:13AM - Movies interface looks similar to the music with big cover art.
11:11AM - New mini player with search built in. Eh.
11:10AM - Oh, and streaming subscription music would be nice, too. Since I'm just wishin'.
11:10AM - Pretty thoroughly redesigned music experience, I'll grant them. Will let them finish their demo, but we all know what we want from iTunes: for it to not be the one, giant, bloated app that is the sole computer interface for all our Apple devices.
11:08AM - New edge-to-edge design. Looks a little Zune like, actually! Pretty sexy, all the same. Not that I'll be using iTunes for anything other than to sync media to my iPhone and iPad.
11:06AM - Demo time, here we go.
11:06AM - New iTunes with iCloud built right in!
11:06AM - "We now have over 200 million customers using iTunes in the cloud." Really? That doesn't sound right, but wow.
11:06AM - iTunes for Mac and PC time! "It's the world's most popular media player." Go on.
11:05AM - All new store apps launching with iOS 6 on September 19th.
11:05AM - New App Store looks great.
11:04AM - "Over the last couple of years we've noticed an interesting trend…" downloads are largely happening not on the Mac anymore. Surprise! So they've redesigned all their media store apps.
11:03AM - "Today I'm happy to report that the iTunes store is available in 63 countries around the world." Applause. 435 million iTunes accounts with 1-click purchase. Damn.
11:03AM - Eddie Cue's up to talk about iTunes. Applause, cheers, hoots.
11:02AM - "We get really excited that make enjoying music even better, or even simpler. Today we're announcing some exciting changes with both IPod and iTunes."
11:02AM - "Music is in our DNA."
11:02AM - "In addition to announcing the iPhone 5 we have something near and dear to our hears to talk to you about today. It's about music."
11:01AM - "iPhone 5 and iOS 6: the biggest things to happen to the iPhone since the iPhone."
11:01AM - "That is iPhone 5, thank you very much." Tim's back!
11:01AM - Nice, iOS 6 goes back to the 3GS. Still, how slow's it going to run?
11:01AM - 100 countries, 240 carriers by end of the year. "This will be our fastest phone rollout ever."
11:00AM - Pre-order Friday, ships 1 week later. Nice.
11:00AM - "Second question: when can I get my hands on it?"
11:00AM - iPhone 4 is now free, iPhone 4S is $99, and iPhone 5 starting at $199.
10:59AM - Phil's back: "How much do I have to spend?" Same prices!
10:59AM - Showing how they don't just fit a single size glass antenna port on the back. "The variances from product to product is now measured in microns." That is freaking ridiculous. They have hundreds of slightly different sized parts that they fit to each case for the absolute best possible fit. Wild. I doubt that has ever been done, especially not at this scale.
10:57AM - Ive: "What makes iPhone 5 so unique is how it feels in your hand. The materials… the remarkable precision. Never before have we built a product with this extraordinarily level of fit and finish."
10:55AM - Mansfield: "I don't think the level of invention has ever been matched by any other product we've done." Yeah, but you guys always say that.
10:54AM - I love how they're showing the components of the new phone. Hey, guys, no need, we've already seen it.
10:53AM - Jony Ive: "With this unique relationship people have with their iPhone, we take changing it very seriously. We don't want to just make a new phone. We want to make a much better phone."
10:52AM - Phil's doing the wrap-up review on the stuff we've learned. "It's THE best phone we've ever made." Video time.
10:52AM - iPhone 5: black and white with a silver aluminum finish. Pretty hot, but that top strip still looks off to me. The camera isn't quite aligned vertically!
10:51AM - "We've taken FaceTime beyond WiFi, now you can use it wherever you are… These are just 10 of the over 200 new features in iOS 6, and we think you're going to love it." Applause, and Phil's back.
10:50AM - Showing Siri app integration, like Opentable, Facebook, etc. I'll be honest, there's been more than one occasion I've wanted to pop a tweet off while driving. Don't grow up to be like me, kids.
10:48AM - Showing Shared Photo Stream, with photo likes from family and friends. Pretty neat. Uh oh, it's time for a Siri demo. I'm hoping she's a little curt to Scott.
10:46AM - Have you joined the discussion on gdgt yet? If not, head on over and tell us what you think about the new iPhone 5!
10:45AM - Scott's now showing iCloud tabs. Old news if you're Chrome-inclined, though. Still, kinda neat. And now he's on to VIPs in mail. Old news if you're Sparrow-inclined, though.
10:45AM - Scott's now showing iCloud tabs. Old news if you're Chrome-inclined, though. Still, kinda neat. And now he's on to VIPs in mail. Old news if you're Sparrow-inclined, though.
10:44AM - The crazy smart operations folks at Rackspace just informed me that we're now delivering over 500,000 liveblog updates per minute. Helloooooooo.
10:43AM - While we're watching this demo, I wanted to shout out to the sponsor of today's coverage, Gazelle! Much love to those fine folks for their support.
10:41AM - Scott's demoing the new Maps stuff from iOS 6. If you tuned into our WWDC 2012 coverage, you've seen this stuff before. It's impressie.
10:40AM - iOS 6: "We'd like to show you for the first time iOS 6 running on the new iPhone 5." Forstall is up for a demo.
10:39AM - Well, they've got an adapter for that. It's big and ugly, but here we are. This was going to happen sooner or later.
10:38AM - "We're working with accessory makers to have them integrate Lightning into their products this holiday season… but what about all the devices you have now that use the 30 pin connector.?"
10:38AM - It's called Lightning. All-digital, 8 signal design, just as we'd seen leaked.
10:37AM - Connector: "It's served us well for almost a decade. So much has changed. So many things we used to do over the wire we now do wirelessly."
10:37AM - Wideband audio: Apple fills up more frequency spectrum to make call audio sound even better. Requires carrier support though, so they need carrier partners.
10:36AM - Audio system got upgrades, too! Three microphones! Front, back, and bottom. Speakers have five magnet transducers (up from three). Earpiece now includes noise canceling on your own audio out. THAT is awesome.
10:35AM - Better video: better image stabilization, face detection, and now FaceTime over cellular.
10:34AM - "It's even able to determine a non-linear path if you're not able to hold it exactly steady." They do some other stuff to remove objects that are only in the frame temporarily. That is pretty cool, no doubt.
10:33AM - New feature: panorama! Just hit a button, swipe your phone around. Rad.
10:32AM - These photos are pretty incredible, but they didn't show much low-light photography.
10:32AM - "We took some photos. These are… untouched." Harrrr. See what he did there? With Nokia? Yeah.
10:31AM - New image processing chip, too. Spatial noise reduction, smart filter that figures out which areas are best for noise reduction and which should be left alone. Photo capture is now 40% faster. "It all adds up to simply using it and seeing what kind of photos you can take."
10:30AM - And it's better: dynamic low-light mode, up to 2 f-stops greater light performance, five element lens. "The team is now measuring down to the micron level to create better lenses. And for the first time we cap off this camera with sapphire crystal lens cover."
10:30AM - Next: camera. "If you know anything about camera design, you know the greatest challenge is vertical height. We asked our engineering team to create a thinner camera that's better than the iPhone 4S, and they've done that." Damn, that's amazing.
10:29AM - "We've matched or exceeded the battery life of the iPhone 4S." Damn, 8 hours of LTE.
10:28AM - Phil's back!
10:28AM - The guy seated next to me here in the audience is clearly an Apple employee. He claps REALLY loud in the press box, and he's saying "That's awesome." to himself every few seconds.
10:27AM - Time-shifted multiplayer with Game Center, so you can race friends on the same track later. Not bad!
10:25AM - Looks like we're gonna get a Real Racing 3 demo.
10:25AM - Looks like Phil's about to do some demos. EA Studios going to come out and show some games.
10:24AM - "What's next: the A6." 2x faster CPU, 2x faster graphics, and even smaller. Smaller's great, but what about power?
10:23AM - "We've updated every. aspect. of iPhone 5."
10:23AM - "In Europe there's a lot of adoption of this new dual-carrier HSDPA." iPhone 5 has 802.11n is now dual-channel 5GHz, with max performance up to 150Mbps. Nice.
10:22AM - "You probably know that LTE is the most complicated networking technology brought to this earth…" AT&T, Verizon, Sprint in the US… he's rattling them off a little fast for me to hit right now, but they've got plenty of carriers so far. US, CA, Asia, Aus, Europe…
10:21AM - Yes, you read that right, the iPhone now has LTE. "How'd we do this? It took a lot of incredible engineering."
10:21AM - "Ultrafast wireless technology. You can imagine the challenge our team faced: thinner, smaller… but we've added HSPA+, DC-HSDPA, and yes, LTE."
10:20AM - 44% more color saturation: now fully sRGB, "it's now the most accurate display in the industry." Touch sensor is built into the display now. Damn. "It's truly the world's most advanced display, and we couldn't be prouder of it."
10:19AM - CNN and Opentable: way more room to work with showing headlines, photos, menus, etc.
10:19AM - "All your software works just like before." Glad we won't be having major scaling issues with this thing!
10:18AM - "Much more room to work and play. With 700,000 apps in the App Store, what happens to them?" Apps fit the same in the device, centered. Nice.
10:17AM - Phil's showing demos of new apps optimized for the wider screen. "All of our software is being updated as well to take advantage of these applications."
10:17AM - Sorry, Apple did something weird with the lighting that messed with my photos! I think they're a bit better now.
10:16AM - "It's really easy to make a new product that's bigger. That's not a challenge." Retina display, and it's taller. "The new screen on iPhone 5 is a 4-inch display. 1136×640.
10:15AM - 7.6mm thin, 18% thinner. "It's the world's thinnest smartphone."
10:15AM - It's built to the most exacting standards Apple has ever taken on. Thinnest, lightest phone Apple's ever built.
10:14AM - "It's made entirely of glass and aluminum."
10:14AM - Big applause. It's the leaked phone alright.
10:14AM - "It's a jewel. It's the most beautiful product we've ever made, bar none."
10:13AM - Let's take a look at the new iPhone 5. Dude, put it on screen!
10:13AM - "Today, we introduce iPhone 5."
10:13AM - iPhone only launched in 2007, can you believe that? "Time: the iPhone is the phone that changed phones forever. It went on to become the #1 smartphone in the world. Each year we set a new bar for the gold standard of smartphones."
10:12AM - "Good morning! It's really neat to stand here and see all the Apple logos pointed back at me on stage."
10:12AM - "We have some very exciting news to tell you about the iPhone." Phil's up!
10:12AM - "Today we're taking it to the next level. Making a huge leap."
10:11AM - 90% of all apps are downloaded every month. "The average customer now is using over 100 apps! It's been an absolute revolution. It's phenomenal. Together with the incredible products, these have helped us achieve an incredible milestone." 400 million iOS devices sold.
10:10AM - "Of course, the App Store is the place for all of us. We recently crossed 700,000 apps in the store." 250k are iPad apps. That is an enormous milestone.
10:09AM - "iPads are being used everywhere by everyone… almost all of the Fortune 500 are testing or deploying iPad. They're investing in custom apps — something none of them do on the PC!"
10:09AM - "Our competitors have taken note of this." iPad with 62% market share in 2011, now 68% market share after all their competitors launched their competing tablets. iPad: 91% of web traffic of all tablets. "I don't know what these other tablets are doing!"
10:08AM - "We sold more iPads than any PC manufacturer sold of their entire PC line." What! 84 million total units sold. "This is shocking considering this is a category that didn't even exist a few years ago."
10:07AM - Last quarter: 17 million iPads sold. A record for sales of the iPad. Damn. 17 million is a LOT.
10:06AM - "For the last six years the Mac has significantly outgrown the PC!" Duh. "The iPad is driving the post-PC revolution at a breathtaking pace."
10:06AM - Fastest upgraded OS X to date! And the Retina MBP. "Together with MacBook Air, our notebooks now rank #1 in the US for market share for the last three months." Big applause for that one. Well, well, well.
10:05AM - "Onto the Mac. We've had a very busy summer." Mountain Lion: the first with iCloud built right in. Tim's quoting effusive reviews. 7 million downloads of Mountain Lion.
10:04AM - Big applause. "Apple stores offer the best buying experience and customer service on the planet." 83 million customers in the store every quarter — 1 million per day. That is wild.
10:03AM - That's a lot of happy Spanish customers. Apple has definitely mastered the feel-good corporate promo video.
10:02AM - Video time, Tim's gonna show the "energy and enthusiasm of the store's opening."
10:01AM - Sorry, this was Barcelona!
10:01AM - They spent two years on a new Italian store. Daaamn.
10:00AM - Retail update to start.
10:00AM - "Thank you for coming this morning! We've got some really cool stuff to show you. It's an amazing, extraordinary time at Apple."
10:00AM - Tim is out, applause.
10:00AM - Lights are going down!
9:54AM - Alright, I'm in and seated!
9:47AM - Ok! Broadcast media is being admitted, which means I'll be seated within a few minutes!
9:24AM - Milling-about-mode: engaged! So many tech journalists. Hello to all the awesome folks I can't personally fist-bump from within this here cluster.
9:10AM - By the way, tell your friends about our coverage! We have a standing bet that we can take down Rackspace. Ok, not really, but we do love your support.
9:02AM - Still in line-mode. Waiting to engage milling-about-mode.
8:36AM - Weather conditions: hazy. Media line: long, and growing. Excitement: building.

Connor has signed with the New York Giants as a free agent. The Giants announced the signing of the former Penn State product Saturday without disclosing details.||||||| Connor can play both inside and outside, so his signing casts some doubt on whether New York will bring back middle linebacker Chase Blackburn, who is a free agent.
The Dallas Cowboys have released linebacker Dan Connor and restructured the contracts of three more players, moves expected to get the team under the salary cap.||||||| Connor was one of seven free agents Dallas added in free agency last offseason. He got a two-year contract and started eight games after Sean Lee and Bruce Carter were injured.
Connor never returned after halftime of Sunday's game against the New York Giants because of a neck strain.||||||| Connor, who started in place of injured leading tackler Sean Lee, got hurt early in the second quarter. He remained down on the ground at the end of a play when the Giants fumbled. The Cowboys said Connor was out of the game.
Connor is expected to start in place of Sean Lee, who was lost for the season with a broken right toe.||||||| Connor, a free agent addition in the offseason, took most of Lee's playing time in the second half of last week's 19-14 win at Carolina. Connor is listed as a starter alongside Bruce Carter in the middle of the Dallas defense, with Ernie Sims backing him up.
Tight end Jeremy Shockey and Connor are inactive for Carolina's game against the Detroit Lions.||||||| Shockey had been doubtful with injured ribs and Connor had been questionable with a shoulder injury.

John Leonard "Jack" Swigert, Jr. (August 30, 1931 – December 27, 1982) was an American test pilot, mechanical engineer, aerospace engineer, United States Air Force pilot, and NASA astronaut, one of the 24 persons who have flown to the Moon.
Before joining NASA, Swigert was a test pilot. After leaving NASA, he was elected to the United States House of Representatives for Colorado's 6th congressional district, but died before being sworn in.
Early life and education[edit]
Swigert was born on August 30, 1931 and raised in Denver, Colorado. At the age of 14, he became fascinated by aviation. While he would've been content just watching planes take off from nearby Combs Field, young Jack became determined to do more than be a spectator. He took on a newspaper route to earn money for flying lessons, and by age 16 he was a licensed private pilot.[1] He attended Blessed Sacrament School, Regis Jesuit High School, and East High School, from which he graduated in 1949.
Swigert received a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Colorado in 1953, a Master of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (Hartford campus) in 1965, and a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Hartford in 1967; and was presented an Honorary Doctorate of Science degree from American International College in 1970, and an Honorary Doctorate of Laws degree from Western State University in 1970, and an Honorary Doctorate of Science from Western Michigan University in 1970.[2]
His recreational interests include playing golf, handball, bowling, skiing, swimming and basketball. His hobbies include photography.[3]
He was active in the Boy Scouts of America. He earned the rank of Second Class Scout.[4]

Following his graduation from UCB, Swigert joined the U.S. Air Force. He served as an officer in the U.S. Air Force from 1953 to 1956 and, upon graduation from the Pilot Training Program and Gunnery School at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, was assigned as a fighter pilot in Japan and Korea. In the latter nation, he would experience his first brush with death. According to the New York Times, "In 1953, his plane crashed into a radar unit on a Korean airstrip and burst into flames." He walked away from the accident unscathed.[5]
After completing his tour of active duty in the Air Force, he served as a jet fighter pilot with the Massachusetts Air National Guard from September 1957 to March 1960 and as a member of the Connecticut Air National Guard from April 1960 to October 1965.[6]
Swigert held a position as engineering test pilot for North American Aviation, Inc., before joining NASA. He was also an engineering test pilot for Pratt and Whitney from 1957 to 1964.
He eventually logged 7,200 hours flight, which includes more than 5,725 in jet aircraft.[7]
NASA career[edit]
After unsuccessfully applying for NASA's second and third astronaut selections,[8] Swigert was accepted into the astronaut corps as part of NASA Astronaut Group 5 in April 1966. Swigert became a specialist on the Apollo Command Module: he was one of the few astronauts who requested to be command-module pilots.[8]
Apollo 13[edit]
Swigert was one of three astronauts aboard the ill-fated Apollo 13 moon mission launched April 11, 1970. Originally part of the backup crew for the mission, he was assigned to the mission three days before launch, replacing astronaut Ken Mattingly. The prime crew had been exposed to German Measles (the rubella virus) and, because Mattingly had no immunity to the disease, NASA did not want to risk his falling ill during critical phases of the flight. Incidentally, this made Swigert the first American bachelor astronaut to fly in space.
The mission was the third lunar-landing attempt, but was aborted after the rupture of an oxygen tank in the spacecraft's service module. Swigert was the astronaut who made the famous dramatic announcement, "Houston, we've had a problem here".[9] Swigert, along with fellow astronauts Jim Lovell and Fred Haise, returned safely to Earth on April 17th after about 5 days and 23 hours in space, and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom later that year.
Swigert received the NASA Distinguished Service Medal.
Post-NASA career[edit]
Swigert took a leave of absence from NASA in April 1973 to become Executive director of the Committee on Science and Technology, U.S. House of Representatives.
Swigert finally resigned from NASA and the committee in August 1977, to enter politics. In 1979 he became Vice president of B.D.M. Corporation, Golden, Colorado.[10] In 1981, Swigert left BDM to join International Gold and Minerals Limited as Vice president for Financial and Corporate Affairs.
In February 1982, Swigert left International Gold and Minerals Limited to initiate his compaign for the U.S. Congress. On November 2, 1982, Swigert won the new seat for Colorado's Sixth Congressional District receiving 64% of the popular vote.[11]
|I believe God measures your life. He puts you on Earth, gives you talents and certain opportunities, and, I think, you're going to be called to account for those opportunities.
—Jack Swigert before his death, about life and God.[12]
In 1982, during his political campaign, Swigert developed a malignant tumor in his right nasal passage. He underwent surgery, but the cancer spread to his bone marrow and lungs. He was hospitalized at Yale University Hospital on December 19, and died of respiratory failure on December 27, eight days before the beginning of his Congressional term.[8] He is buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery in Wheat Ridge, Colorado.[13]
- In 1988, Jack Swigert was nominated and inducted into the Colorado Aviation Hall of Fame.[14]
- In 1995, Swigert was portrayed by Kevin Bacon in Ron Howard's film Apollo 13.
- In 1997, a statue of Swigert made by George and Mark Lundeen was placed on display in the U.S. Capitol Building which as of December 2008 is on display in Emancipation Hall in the United States Capitol Visitor Center. A duplicate statue is currently on display at Denver International Airport. [15]
- In September 2003, John L. Swigert Jr. was elected to the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Alumni Hall of Fame [16]
- On August 18, 2009, the Space Foundation and Colorado Springs District 11 partnered together to open the Jack Swigert Aerospace Academy. [17]
Swigert was a member of numerous organizations. He was a fellow of the American Astronautical Society; Associate Fellow of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics; and member of the Quiet Birdmen, Phi Gamma Delta, Pi Tau Sigma, and Sigma Tau.[18]
Awards and honors[edit]
Presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1970 and the NASA Distinguished Service Medal; Co-recipient of the American Astronautical Society Flight Achievement Award for 1970, the AIAA Haley Astronautics Award for 1971, and the AIAA Octave Chunute Award for 1966 (for his participation in demonstrating the Rogallo Wing as a feasible land landing system for returning space vehicles and astronauts); and recipient of Colorado University's Distinguished Alumnus Award in 1970, the City of New York Gold Medal in 1970, the City of Houston Medal for Valor in 1970, the City of Chicago Gold Medal in 1970; and the Antonian Gold Medal in 1972.[19]

I just watched a French Zombie Horror film from a franchise that I love. The premise of a Chainsaw toting Bride at her wedding that gets overrun with demonic zombies, that are carrying a demon virus, sounded too over-the-top for me to skip out on (I love Zombie movies).
The movie started out great. A little slow at first, but when the sh*t hit the fan, it really HIT THE FAN! And it was awesome. But what made the first two films of this franchise so unique and interesting, was the style in which they were shot in, and the cohesive story-arc that bound them together. This movie got away from that. And as cool as it was to see this angry chick hacking limbs, and heads, and spliting body cavities apart in eruptions of blood with a chainsaw in a tattered wedding dress, it fell pretty flat in comparison to the two prior films.
I thought maybe that's how it was going to play out for the Chiefs tonight. A slow start, then maybe some excitement, followed by hope, followed by utter disappointment, followed by an angry chick with a chainsaw. I mean we all agree that "on paper" we look great! But are we?
I can't definitively answer that because this is just the Preseason and we only saw our starters for one quarter. But that quarter blew the pants off my zombie movie! I went through a whole range of emotions, from tension, to fear, to dread, to sheer joy, back to dread, back to joy, then to ON TOP OF THE F**KING WORLD!!! And then back down again...and that was all just on the opening drive! And then I went through it all over again as soon as Cassel trotted back onto the field for part two.
I'm not going to get into a lot of break down stuff. Its late and my eyes are starting to droop a little. But I wanted to talk about some of the things I really enjoyed and took away from tonight, and some of the things I didn't enjoy as much, which can basically be summed up as: running a draw play on third and twelve.
What stood out for me tonight was our defense. Yes we had some mistakes as the young, anxiously eager noobs and "journeymen" try to prove that they either belong or don't. What I liked seeing from our D most was the four sacks. We had sacks and we had turnovers. Fumbles, an INT, our D was a turnover machine tonight and it was great to watch. To me Sheffield has a place on this team and I think despite what others say, so will Powe. And how about that sack by Powe? Awesome. Just awesome. Its great to see a guy with his background, and physical impediment, working his tail off to show that he deserves some recognition.
I don't know about all of you, but did you notice our Nickle package tonight? I did. Insane! The AFC West should be scared and rightly so. Just like Nick Jacobs said last week on ChopTalk, it looked potent. Bailey, Poe, Houston, and Hali, all coming after you? That's way scarier than my Zombie movie! Chainsaws and all!
Speaking of ChopTalk, apparently our own BJ Kissel doesn't just have a face for blog radio, he's also got a face for local TV! Very cool to see you on screen BJ. If you submitted a video, and I'm sure you did, I wish you the best man! That was equally as awesome as everything else tonight. Minus that third and twelve draw play. That was not awesome.
Moving over to the other side of the ball, some of the things I'm thrilled about are:
A) Peyton Hillis looks like a total badass
B) Cassel is clear and away our best QB. He did a very good job for the most part tonight
C) Shaun Draughn looks terrific. Absolutely terrific
D) Brian Daboll was on the ball tonight with his playcalling. Except for that draw play
E) Dexter McCluster looks ready to prove a lot of haters wrong
F) Steve Maneri is the MAN. Boy he looked good tonight
G) We looked great considering a lack of Charles and Baldwin (and no show Bowe)
*Note: How great was it to NOT have any delay of game penalties because the sideline couldn't get the play called in time? I thought it was freaking great and that in and of itself gives me hope for our future with Daboll at OC.
Some of the things I'm not so thrilled about on Offense:
A) Cassel is clear and away our best QB. If he goes down, we're in trouble
B) Charles still seems a little hesitant (I can't knock this, it has to be tough for him)
C) Draw plays on Third Down and Twelve
D) Josh Bellamy. What happened man!? You were doing so good in camp
E) Devon Wylie' hands. He truly is Wes Welker Junior junior
While this is just Preseason and has no bearing on the actual season, I will say we look miles ahead of where we did last year. I think the Chiefs were very zombie-esque last season with how lackluster, slow, and crippled they seemed (probably not the best phrase to use but I'm rocking it anyway). Their physical abilities were on par with the cast of Twilight's acting abilities. Pretty abysmal. I think many of us were looking for a spark, or a jolt, to bring our hopes back to life and I think this game did that and got the heart pumping in the right direction.
Its hard not to get excited when you see things like this. But I would offer a small warning to remind you that again, this is the Preseason. Sometimes things look better than what they really are (like the trailer for my Zombie movie).
Until we see this team for a full four quarters against a worthy opponent (Atlanta will be a great test right off the bat), we should try and curb some of that overwhelming enthusiasm that just keeps gushing, like the geysers of blood in my Zombie movie, and exercise cautious optimism.
Or just say "F**k it" and get excited anyway. Because even if some of its bad, you are still gonna love this team anyway. Kind of like me and my Zombie movie ;)

I am asking this being completely ignorant of the talent that individual pitching prospects posess outside of the obvious (Jeffrey) and with the knowledge that many believe our overall depth lacking with little major league help in the upcoming years.
Why haven't we given more consideration/love to Tim Dillard (6-1, 2.66) and Mike Burns (6-0, 2.15)? Both have done VERY well in Nashville this season as their records and ERAs indicate. Is there something beyond the obvious numbers (K/W, K/9, WHIP) that have people leaving these two out of the equation when considering good prospects in our farm system for trade value or helping the team in the near future?
In no way am I suggesting either of these two are potential aces but how come they have gone unmentioned in most discussions?

Original and intact adjustable height vintage American industrial factory office "typist" chair with maple wood saddle seat and contoured backrest made by the Toledo Metal Furniture Co., Toledo, OH. Both the height of the seat and the seat back are adjustable.
Vintage American industrial "posture line" factory office typist chairs were fabricated around 1922-25 by the Toledo Metal Furniture Co. in Toledo, OH. The base is rigidly braced and has long wearing quality. The braces which make the base rigid are held in place by retainers set inside the "u" shaped legs, so that there is no pivoting motion to weaken the construction. The back wire or spring support is made of spring steel and yields pleasantly to the pressure of the body. Four bolts with large size wing nuts hold the seat and "spider" in the base of the chair. Adjustment of height is accomplished by removing the wing nuts and bolts, setting at proper heights and replacing the bolts. No tools are necessary to make this adjustment, which is three inches on each chair by half inch steps. The seat should always be level, which is assured by seeing that the same number of holes appear above or below the brace on each leg of the large steel channel which furnishes the adjustment.
The contoured saddle seat and backrest are made of maple wood. The seat is securely bolted to the steel supports which extend well out toward the edge of the seat. The back support is of solid wood on spring wire rods. The adjustable backrest can be locked at any position within the range of its adjustment. The back is hinged so that it always conforms to the lines of the body. Refinished saddle seat and backrest. Seat height adjusts from approximately 17 to 20 inches.
The chair is in very nice condition, with the usual expected signs of wear for its age. There are some paint splatters and light wear and rust spots on the legs.
Chair can be picked up (or dropped off) local to the New England area. Other areas will be shipped via Greyhound Express. Shipping costs will vary.

Today we will be doing an excerpt from the article "Man on a Mission: How Patrick Patterson Became the Most Celebrated Recruit To Come to Kentucky in Almost 20 Years" by Travis Hubbard out of Wildcat Tip-off. It's an article about Patrick Patterson's recruitment that has a ton of details that have been previously unreported.
I will be keeping intro paragraphs short today because of the volume of posts. I want to keep as many visible as possible, so most of the content will be following the jump.
First, a bit of an intro to this piece. Travis Hubbard covered Patrick Patterson throughout his high school career for the Huntington (WV) Herald-Dispatch, from 2003-2007. Travis is intimately familiar with Patrick's recruitment from the perspective of someone who was there in West Virginia with the Pattersons while it was going on. In addition, UK granted Travis an interview with Patrick prior to publication to add to his considerable volume of notes from previous interviews.
--- Begin Excerpt ---
" Tubby asked if Patrick would be interested in coming to Minnesota"
Two months earlier, and perhaps days away from announcing where he would attend college and play basketball, Patterson received a flurry of text messages that brought his recruitment to a shocking halt.
Patterson, at the time a 17-year-old kid with a herculean frame, was greeting some far less fortunate and much frailer children—babies, toddlers, and teens fighting cancer, childhood diabetes, and tragic injuries—on March 22, 2007.
Patterson and high school basketball teammate O.J. Mayo had weeks earlier been named McDonald's All- Americans for their play at Huntington High School. Visiting a Ronald McDonald House in the high school All-American basketball game's host city was a requirement for the honor, but Patterson and Mayo did the same in their hometown on this day, six days prior to the game in Louisville, at the request of local Ronald McDonald House administrators. They were also paraded to nearby Cabell-Huntington Hospital's pediatric ward.
Patrick and his mother, Tywanna, sat down with me in a Cabell-Huntington Hospital waiting room minutes after Patrick received news of Smith's eventual departure, and they asked me more questions than I asked them. They wanted answers and were entitled to them.
The initial reaction to Smith's departure was shock.
"I was mad, a little frustrated," Patrick said. "I was disappointed Tubby wasn't going to be there. But I was also anticipating what would happen next."
More than anything they were confused.
Smith, even before the SEC Tournament, had been rumored to be on his way out—either of his own volition or being pressured—because of disagreements with the UK administration. So, there was reason to be skeptical.
It was apparent Patrick was distracted and agitated. He wanted to get out of the hospital and make some phone calls. To his credit, Patterson wanted the focus on this day to be on the hospitalized children he had come to inspire.
This is one of the most interesting articles in the Annual, and gets inside Patrick Patterson's thoughts throughout the process. Great stuff.

I'm trying to catch up on the Project Journal Infiltration submissions before I get totally confused as to which I've shared with you. (There is no confusion, on which file the entries are all going into, so if you've submitted don't worry about that!)
The problem is sometimes journal artists show me their sketch of me on site, but then don't send it to me. Sometimes, depending on how much chocolate I've ingested, it's difficult for me to remember if I saw the sketch or received the sketch—you get the idea.
Now would be a good time for artists to check that they actually sent me their image to the firstname.lastname@example.com address, as my tcinternet address has been void since about April 2010—I just found out that my good friend Diane still uses that address sometimes, no wonder I sometimes have no idea what she's talking about! Purge that address from your address book now.
Today, I'm sharing artist Suzanne Hughes' sketches of me at the 2010 Minnesota State Fair. If you follow the link to her blog you will not only find a lovely sketch of a black and red rooster but if you scroll down you'll find her sketches of me. These are fantastic. (I almost look monumental in one because of the upward angle—didn't you want to be a superhero when you were a child? I could be SketchPenGirl able to rush in and observe, OK, yeah, that's not really very useful on the superhero spectrum. I'll work on that.). She caught the extra long length of my special sketching hat just perfectly.
(This is a fishing hat made by Columbia, but as far as I can tell they don't make it any longer. I keep hoping to find more of them. If I could, it would be the only hat I would ever wear, hint, hint, Columbia if you're looking for an artist to endorse your gear!)
Thank you Suzanne for joining in the project with these great sketches.

flydubai to launch flights to Istanbul and Assiut
PRESS RELEASE: Two additional routes – to Assiut in Egypt, and Istanbul in Turkey – bring the airline's network to 15 destinations.
April 11, 2010 1:13 by Ben Flanagan
Dubai, UAE, April 11, 2010: Just two weeks after launching a brace of GCC routes with flights to Muscat and Kuwait City, flydubai, Dubai's first low cost airline, has announced a further two routes – Assiut in Egypt and Istanbul, Turkey – to bring the airline's network to 15 destinations.
Priced from just AED350, flights to Assiut, the largest town in Upper Egypt, are three times per week and start on Monday, May 24.
Travellers will be able to visit Istanbul, European Capital of Culture 2010, with flydubai's uncomplicated, low fare service for as little as AED450 from Thursday, June 17. Flights to Istanbul will be five times per week.
Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO of flydubai said: "The addition of these new routes is in line with our commitment to make travel to key destinations in this region more accessible and more affordable.
"These two routes are excellent examples of the type of destinations flydubai is committed to serving. Assiut currently has very few direct links to the UAE, so by offering this destination we are fulfilling our promise to make travel a little less complex, a little less stressful and a little less expensive.
"Although Istanbul is well known to many there is such a demand for short breaks to the city and to the country in general that we anticipate strong demand for our quality, low cost service."
The largest town in southern Egypt, Assiut is known for its agriculture, especially grain and cotton. It is also home to one of the country's largest universities and has much to offer tourists. Steeped in heritage, Assiut was founded in the Pharaonic era and is located 400km south of Cairo.
flydubai's new service to Istanbul will allow even more travellers from the Gulf to enjoy the stimulating diversity of Turkey's most famous city, and it will contribute to the growing trade relationship between Turkey and the UAE, valued at around US$9 billion.
Bookings are now open and flights can be purchased on flydubai's website (flydubai.com), through the call centre (04 301 0800) and from travel agents.
The flydubai model is simple, with customers paying only for the services they want to receive. The ticket price includes all taxes and one piece of hand baggage, weighing up to 10kg, per passenger.
Passengers have the option to purchase checked-in baggage in advance at just AED60 for the first piece and AED150 for the second, weighing up to 32kgs, subject to availability. Checked baggage at the airport is also strictly subject to availability and passengers are advised to book online early to secure the space, as only pre-purchased baggage can be guaranteed.
A nominal payment of AED5 allows customers to select their seat and just AED100 secures the extra legroom positions. Bookings can be changed for a small fee, plus any difference in the fare, and food and drink can be purchased on board.
flydubai operates from a modernised and enhanced Terminal 2 on the north side of Dubai International Airport.
About flydubai
Established in March 2008 with start-up capital of AED250 million, flydubai is Dubai's first low cost airline. Owned by the government of Dubai, the airline will support the city's commercial and tourism sectors by serving all travellers, providing them with affordable air links to a range of destinations.
With flydubai, travellers can take 1 piece of hand baggage (weighing up to 10 kg) no larger than 56 cm x 45 cm x 25 cm on board without charge. If the bag does not meet the cabin requirements, it will be checked into the aircraft hold at a cost of AED 150. For a little extra, passengers can check a bag. Each bag purchased can hold up to 32 kg and not larger than 90 cm x 75 cm x 43 cm. If customers want to take more, an additional bag can be purchased, subject to availability.
Based on a low cost business model, flydubai offers a value-for-money product at an extremely competitive price. Its website (www.flydubai.com) will be an important interface for customers, together with a call centre (+9714 301 0800) and travel partners.

Athens, GA
Mellower, townie vibe during the summer months

Rebecca Burns
Rabid sports fans and loyal UGA alums make the 70-mile trek from Atlanta to Athens during football season, braving crazy congestion and peak hotel rates. But for the rest of us, the best time to visit is summer, when a mellower townie vibe prevails. Celebrate the Classic City's musical legacy during the annual AthFest, which this year takes place June 23–27.
Just because you're attending a music festival doesn't mean you have to endure the grunge of your own college days. Retreat from the crowds at
Hotel Indigo Athens

After dinner, walk across the street for a drink and a game of cornhole at Little Kings Shuffle Club (706-369-3144). Speaking of drinks, Athens reportedly has the country's highest bar-per-capita ratio, and you can choose from more than three dozen in six downtown blocks fronting Broad Street. Or sample local brew

There will also be an outdoor artists market, screenings of Georgia-produced films and music videos, and kid-friendly activities. During AthFest, you can take the Athens Music History Tour (call 706-208-8687 for reservations), a two-hour bus excursion, or set your own pace on the Athens Music History Walking Tour, following a detailed guide posted online by alt-weekly

Evansville, IN (Sports Network) - Colt Ryan poured in 33 points as the Evansville Purple Aces took an 84-78 overtime victory over the Drake Bulldogs in Missouri Valley Conference action at the Knapp Center.
Ryan hit 8-of-21 shots from the floor and 14-of-15 from the free-throw line while grabbing seven steals for Evansville (14-11, 7-6 MVc) which had lost three of its last four games. Ned Cox added 21 points and six assists and Troy Taylor had a double-double of 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Ben Simons scored 27 points on 9-of-12 shooting, Richard Carter had 13 points and seven assists, Seth VenDeest chipped in 11 points and Jordan Clarke had a double-double of 10 points and 14 rebounds for Drake (11-13, 5-8) which has lost back-to-back games.
Drake led 35-26 at halftime by shooting 40.6 percent from the field, including 5-of-10 from beyond the arc, while holding Evansville to 28.1 percent shooting.
Both teams shot an even 50 percent from the field in the second half. The Bulldogs led by three points with 1:21 remaining after a pair of free throws from Simons. After getting a stop on Evansville's next possession the Bulldogs had a chance to close out the game at the free-throw line but Carter failed to convert the front end of a one-and-one. The Purple Aces collected the rebound and Ryan nailed a 3-pointer with 18 seconds left to knot the game at 66-66. Carter missed a driving shot as time expired to send the game to overtime.
In the extra session the Purple Aces continually willed themselves to the free-throw line and by hitting 16-of-18 shots from the stripe were able to pull out the victory.
The game featured 11 ties and 16 lead changes. Evansville forced 19 turnovers and scored 25 points off those takeaways while coughing the ball up only seven times itself.

Town of two halves
11:37am Wednesday 28th November 2012 in Letters
WHAT lack of foresight to deny local people the opportunity of a decent shopping environment in the 21st century.
Obviously, once again, the footfall will go to Carmarthen and the local economy will suffer especially at Christmas.
Would not the Riverside have been an ideal location as a retail area? It is within the town centre and local shops would benefit, not a town of "two halves."
This would have been far more attractive rather than the hideous, self-indulgent monstrosity of a council building. An enormous blot on the landscape!
"Self important" councillors take note. "A disaster dahling"!

Chicago Limo Net ushers its office-, nightlife-, and airport-bound clientele about the Chicago area in a fleet of luxurious, custom buses and limousines. Twenty-four-passenger party buses bedecked in low-level lighting, leather couches, dancing poles, and mirror-laden roofs bestow a nightclub-like feel minus the acute stares of gargantuan doormen. Smaller 6- and 10-passenger limousines present many of the same creature comforts in a more aerodynamic package for airport or around-town trips. Each party conveyance is piloted by a professional chauffeur with extensive knowledge of downtown Chicago, who will gladly take the fastest or most scenic route and can offer unique insights into the city, such as how to differentiate between the Willis Tower and the pier's ferris wheel.
Park Ride & Fly USA's car caretakers protect vacationing cars within 24-hour, well-lit parking lots near airports in more than 30 states. After dropping off their automobiles, customers can transport themselves and their luggage to the airport aboard one of the company's complimentary shuttles or human-size hamster balls. While away, patrons rest easy knowing that their steel steeds are safe within fenced lots that are monitored by 24-hour surveillance. At many locations, shuttles also swing by the terminal to pick up returning travelers and reunite them with their respective vehicles, which are first freed of cloud-based artillery, including snow or recently rained molasses.
Stretch Limousine, Inc.'s professional chauffeurs crisscross Chicagoland in a luxurious fleet of sedans, limousines, and party buses. Ranging from the perennial Lincoln Town Car and stretch limo to expansive party buses and coach buses, the fleet has suitable transportation for any occasion. Due to the wide range of vehicles, the services attract wedding parties, bachelor parties, and sporting event transport, so Stretch Limousine has constructed packages that include fully stocked bars, VIP passes to clubs, and limousines outfitted with cans for weddings.
XTC Chicago Party Bus Is Chicago Most Leading Limo Bus and Airport Transportation Company. We provide excellent customer service and one of a kind Limo Buses All around Chicago Area and Suburbs.

Travel days always seem to stretch to unbearable lengths, complicated by early wakeup calls, last-minute packing, and gridlocked traffic streaming in and out of the airport. The staff at Airways Parking work to smooth out one facet of these hassle-filled journeys, offering convenient self and valet parking at a lot located only a three-minute shuttle ride from Midway Airport. Staffers remain onsite 24 hours a day, manning the fenced-in, well-lit lot to repel sketchy characters and guide clients to the free, on-demand shuttle. While drivers are away, they can ensure cars look street-ready upon their return with a hand wash from one of the lot's experienced staff members. Cars can safely pass short- and long-term stints, and the optional valet parking service ensures that their returning drivers are greeted by prechilled AC in the summer and snowman-free interiors in the winter.

Hot air balloon ship to fly the flag for Merton in New Year's Day parade
9:25am Thursday 13th December 2012 in News By Lauren May, Chief Reporter
A hot air balloon ship helmed by Admiral Lord Nelson will be representing Merton in the Mayor of London's New Year's Day parade next month.
The council's entry, My Fair London, will celebrate the turn of the 20th century in keeping with the parade's overall theme, Hat's off to London - Celebration Capital of the World, which will highlight the invention of aviation and steam power.
The float is being built by students at the Wimbledon College of Art and is set to feature a hot air balloon made to look like a ship sailing down the road with Admiral Lord Nelson at its helm accompanied by Edwardians dressed in a My Fair Lady style and followed by dancers from the Younger Generation Theatre group based in Pollards Hill.
Last year the council's entry Horsepower, celebrating the borough's connection with the first licensed horse drawn railway in the world, the Surrey Iron Railway, came joint first with Westminster Council.
The parade will start at 11.45am on New Year's Day at Piccadilly Circus at the junction with Berkeley Street outside the Ritz Hotel, finishing at 3pm at Parliament Street.
