Cutting-edge technology and innovation that protects company car drivers have helped Volvo win another prestigious award at the 2013 Fleet World Honours.
Volvo Cars and the members of the DJ trio Swedish House Mafia have together created a unique music video based on a brand new version of the Swedish House Mafia's hit song "Leave the World Behind". The video world premieres today at 8.30 pm CET. This song and video will also be the leading theme in Volvo's upcoming global launch campaign of the new Volvo XC60.
Volvo Car Group (Volvo Cars) is ramping up production of its world-first V60 Plug-in Diesel Hybrid by 90 per cent to cope with strong demand for the cars across Europe.
Volvo Car UK has announced an extension to its Approved Used Car Programme to include vehicles up to seven-years-old.
Six new Volvo models featuring revised styling, additional equipment and reduced CO2 emissions are set to arrive at dealerships nationwide.
With CO2 emissions of just 48g/km, the Volvo V60 D6 AWD will still benefit from the newly confirmed Ultra Low Emission Discount (ULED) for London's Congestion Charge scheme when the new limit of 75g/km of CO2 comes into force on 1st July 2013. Recent announcements regarding taxation of diesel hybrid cars mean it will also continue to benefit from being in the lowest BIK tax band.
Volvo Car Group has completed extensive testing of kinetic flywheel technology on public roads - and the results confirm that this is a light, cheap and very eco-efficient solution.
Volvo Car Group's new engine family VEA (Volvo Engine Architecture) will be launched this autumn with world-first i-ART technology that helps to cut fuel consumption in the new diesel engines.
New R-Design versions of Volvo S60, V60 and XC60 feature an outstanding blend of a renewed sports appearance, a dynamic driving-focused chassis and engine output up to 329 hp.
Volvo Car Group has rolled out another Volvo world first in automotive safety. The groundbreaking Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with full auto brake detects and automatically brakes for cyclists swerving out in front of the car.

Arsenal v Olympiakos: The view from Greece
Greece's top two sides face English opposition this week in what could prove to be a pivotal few days for Hellenic football.
Ahead of Tottenham's visit to Panathinaikos, Greek champions Olympiakos will have an enormous challenge on their hands against Arsenal in the group stage of the Champions League.
We get the view from Greece on the fixture…
Arsenal v Olympiakos (Wednesday, 19:45 – Champions League Group B)
These teams rekindle their group stage romance for the third time in four years, although significant changes to the Olympiakos squad have already seen their campaign take a turn for the worse after losing against Schalke last week.
Ex-Braga manager Leonardo Jardim is doing very well domestically, where Olympiakos currently hold an eleven-point lead over their arch-rivals Panathinaikos. And even after losing key players in the summer, five wins out of five for Olympiakos certainly sums up the declining quality of the Greek Super League.
Olympiakos are evidently weaker than they were at this stage last season.
Key summer departures include their captain and defensive bedrock Olof Mellberg, while Belgium forward Kevin Mirallas has still yet to be replaced following his move to Everton in August.
Avraam Papadopoulous' long-term injury means that the Piraeus-based team are short in defence, while Tasos Papazoglou is another defender added to the casualty list after injuring himself during the 1-0 win over Atromitos on Sunday.
Failure to replace key players is likely to cost Olympiakos this season and with Arsenal looking to bounce back from Saturday's defeat against Chelsea, the Greek giants will do well to avoid defeat in north London this Wednesday.
Key Player: Kostas Mitroglou – Injury to leading goalscorer Rafik Djebbour means that Mitroglou will need to step up in his place. The 24-year-old frontman scored 16 goals in Greece last season.Tagged in: Arsenal, Champions League, football, Tottenham

so apparently Wendy's supports Chick Fil A, who have recently made several statements about how they are staunchly anti-gay and ant-gay-marriage. Since their discriminatory ways were revealed, they've had to face boycotts and protests across the country
wendy's wasnt even good anyways
Welp… Another restaurant I didn't need to eat at anyways.
god fucking damn it these are the only two fast food restaurants whose chicken i can stand
Is this actually backed by any source, besides seeing a single chain do this? Like, I don't ever eat at Wendy's, so it doesn't really matter, but I'm just curious to see if this has any actual source besides seeing the people at a single chain agreeing with them.
This CNN article confirms that multiple Wendy's franchises are doing this.

Treating depression and anxiety can aid pain relief
Q: Can pain be caused by depression and anxiety?
A: People with depression and anxiety do experience more pain than average. We don't know the exact cause. But we do know that pain can be more severe or last longer. And it can be harder to treat.
Up to two-thirds of patients seeking help for depression also report at least one pain symptom. Chronic pain is depressing. And some people "feel" depression as physically painful.
Pain shares some biological features with depression and anxiety. So psychotherapy and drug treatment aimed at the mental disorders can also relieve pain.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one approach. It is an established treatment for anxiety and depression. CBT is based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, and sensations are all related. Patients who learn coping skills from a CBT therapist can better manage their pain, rather than be victimized by it.
Stress makes pain worse, so relaxation training for stress can help ease pain. Techniques include progressive muscle relaxation, yoga, and mindfulness training.
Hypnosis is another useful tool. A therapist helps a patient achieve a trance-like state and then provides positive suggestions. Some patients can learn self-hypnosis.
Some psychiatric drugs can relieve pain symptoms, too.
For example, some antidepressants may help with nerve pain. Anti-seizure drugs, often used as mood stabilizers, can regulate abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Chronic pain in particular involves nerve hypersensitivity. So that's why some of these drugs may provide relief.
Patients with pain often find a combination of psychotherapy and medicine helps most. That approach is reminiscent of treatments for anxiety and depression.
Pain, depression and anxiety have a wide variety of causes. So good treatment usually depends upon working with your doctor to move carefully through the options. Hold on to what works and let go of the rest.

The Jessica Simpson baby countdown is finally over -- because she just gave birth to a bouncing baby girl ... who weighed 9 pounds 13 ounces and measured in at 21.75 inches!!!
The kid's name is Maxwell Drew Johnson -- which is pretty normal by celebrity baby naming standards.
Jessica and her fiance Eric Johnson decided to use the name Drew because it's Jessica's mother's maiden name.
Jess just released a statement on her website ... saying, "Eric and I are elated to announce the birth of our baby girl Maxwell Drew Johnson."
"We are so grateful for all of the love, support and prayers we have received. This has been the greatest experience of our lives."
I think Jessica will be an involved and caring mom, it's in her personality.
Happy Birthday, Maxi-pad.
This is some atrocious Photoshop work, even for you TMZ.
That poor child is going to be the size of a football player so you might as well give her a dude's name.
numerology for Maxwell Drew Johnson:
Congrats Jessica!!
Welcome to the world Maxi Drew! Can't wait to see your sweet face!
Poor kid. I guess her parents wanted a boy.
Well, that's 10 pounds plus fluids she's lost already. On her short frame, that will make a significant difference. If she can just get back that cute shape she had when she was younger, I'm sure she'd feel better and have a lot more confidence, not always having to defend her weight. Congrats, Jessica, and good luck!
Exciting time for them having a new little bundle of joy in the house! Congratulations to them! Nice to hear Jessica and baby are doing well. :D
Congratulations to Jess and Eric.
So sorry for the baby though with that name choice, guess they really wanted a boy.
Congratulations to Jessica and Eric.
To those panning the name "Maxwell" I went to school with a girl named Maxwell in the late 60's. She was a very attractive young lady and no one would mistake her for a boy. It is no more masculine than Chris, Brooke, or Blake.
Again, congratulations to Jessica and Eric. This is a new chapter in your life that will give you a lot of joy.
Did no one have the common sense to try and talk her out of "Maxwell"?!?? You just KNOW she's dying to blab about pregnancy, childbirth and parenthood, so maybe one day (hopefully soon) she'll let us in on the joke...
Congrats Jessica! Enjoy your new baby girl
Well now...how are we supposed to trust that ANYTHING TMZ has to report is real when they're using such and OBVIOUSLY photoshopped picture of Jessica Simpson to pedle their story? Geez...at least have THAT much self respect in your reporting even if most of it IS complete gossip and B.S., I mean come ON now!

For most homeowners redoing a room, the ceiling is completely overlooked and usually treated to nothing more than a fresh coat of ceiling white paint. But just because there's a product manufactured solely for ceilings doesn't mean you have to use it. Leaving your ceiling a white void is a wasted opportunity to add warmth and dimension to your rooms. At the very least, it can be painted a complementary color to your walls and trim.
But for an attention-grabbing look, consider a paneled or coffered ceiling. The dimension and texture an artfully embellished ceiling can contribute are equally at home in a simple cottage or a grand formal dwelling.
In a cottage-style house, beadboard paneling is a popular choice for ceilings as well as walls, and it adds charm to a casually put-together design scheme. It's a natural fit in a country-style kitchen, but it also works well for a bedroom, adding to a cozy, enveloped feeling.
Wood ceilings are a great way to add texture and warmth to a room. A ceiling covered in 1x6 tongue-and-groove or beadboard paneling and painted with a half paint/half water mixture will instantly make a room feel cozy and customized.
For a large formal room, especially if the ceiling is very high, a coffered ceiling application can amp up the elegance. Designer Barry Dixon frequently uses an octagonal pattern on a coffered ceiling to add the graceful geometry of this medieval design. Medallions at the intersection of the grid can add an elegant detail to a formal room design.
A simple grid, either painted or stained, can add distinction to a library or a living room. In a highly traditional room, a medallion where the chandelier attaches to the ceiling is a refined finishing touch.
A room with exposed or painted beams has immediate and powerful architecture. Even if you don't have beams to expose, new beams can be installed, with either reclaimed wood, with its beautifully rustic look, or paint-grade wood, used to blend with the room's color scheme.
Beautifully grained wood, like butternut or mahogany, though more costly, adds a warm note of elegance. Exposed beams are a great way to bring a dose of masculinity to an otherwise feminine design scheme.
With the recent popularity of pale, waxed wood finishes, a paneled ceiling can be pickled for a light and breezy look. Or consider the rustic texture of pecky cypress boards for a ceiling, with their inimitable warmth. Whether painted or left in its natural state, a wood ceiling is truly a room's crowning glory.
From coffered to wood paneling, these spaces showcase distinct ceiling designs.
Browse ways to add architectural appeal to your walls using panels and wainscoting.
From clean lines to natural elements, these eclectic details are ideal in a contemporary living room.

The former owner of Jura's Pizza Parlor in Oakdale and namesake of the Turlock restaurant was arrested on Monday for a sexual assault incident that occurred at the now closed Oakdale location in September.
I have attended every Turlock City Council meeting since April of this year. I was very impressed at the way the Council worked together to formulate Measure B. They have come up with a measure that will benefit every citizen in Turlock. Measure B money can only be used to repair existing roads in Turlock. The measure established a citizens' oversight committee to see that the funds go to fix Turlock roads.

Jan and I initially reached out to Gary Soiseth in his first years as a USDA Senior Agriculture Advisor embedded with the United States Army in Afghanistan. We followed his accomplishments throughout his service from 2009 to 2013, and we were thrilled to see that he chose to bring his skills and experience back to his home community.
As we come together to elect a new mayor, we are-in my opinion-at a crossroads. It seems that major issues have not been addressed and difficult decisions have been delayed; there really is no more time to waste. I certainly did not accomplish everything I hoped for in my time as mayor but I do know now that solving all of these issues will take an energetic, organized, and passionate leader who sees this job as a goal and not a hobby. I have been fortunate enough to work with both mayoral candidates throughout the years and while ...
Winning Season 2 of NBC's "America's Got Talent" was a life-changing moment for Terry Fator. The one-man-show performer will soon bring his multiple talents to the Turlock Community Theater and also share his experiences competing on the popular television program now in its ninth season.

A hard working and determined man, he made a career with the Bell Telephone Company helping advance our nation's communication infrastructure. Austin had an adventurous life with many chapters.
Gary Soiseth's campaign for mayor of Turlock has sought to bring the most important issues facing Turlock to the forefront. He has focused on water reliability, deficit spending, and bringing transparency to issues at City Hall. His focus on the issues, rather than who else was running, singles him out as a focused, convicted, and visionary leader.

As we enter into the last weeks of this election season, I wanted to take a few moments to refocus the citizens of Turlock on the truth rather than some of the misperceptions and half-truths that have been put out in campaign materials and editorial comments.
Turlock has been blessed with many dedicated and talented elected leaders throughout the city's history. Turlock is recognized as a special place to live in large part because of the policies of the past that have shaped the present. To insure a bright and prosperous future Turlock must have a mayor with vision and the strength to make many difficult and informed decisions. On Nov. 4 Turlock voters will consider two very well qualified men seeking this important position.

He attended school in Claremore, OK before moving to California at age 12. He attended Hawthorne School and Turlock High School. After high school he served in the National Guard and worked 32 years for Hartvickson Poultry. He became a self-employed poultry hauler for a total of 56 years before retiring in 2000. Kenneth enjoyed hunting, fishing and watching football. His greatest enjoyment was spending time with his family.

This Thursday, September 17th, Electa Arenal visits Merry Gangemi and Woman-Stirred Radio. She'll discuss her critically acclaimed translation of La Respuesta, one of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz's seminal works. Dr. Arenal teaches Spanish/Latin American literature at the College of Staten Island and the Graduate Center, The City University of New York. She is highly regarded for her scholarship of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, the most important female voice in seventeenth-century Mexico.
Sequestered in a convent in Mexico City, Sor Juana wrote passionately in support of education for women. Sor Juana's work remains illuminating and still pertinent to the the lives of women four hundred years later. Sor Juana achieved extraordinary intellectual freedom, and was widely renowned as a poet, playwright, and essayist. La Respuesta is a remarkable response to church officials who continually attempted to silence her brilliant mind and authoritative voice.
There is also the matter of the viceroy's wife.
So please tune in to 91.1fm or stream us live at WGDR. on Thursday, September 17th, at 4:15 (eastern) for a fascinating conversation about La Respuesta with Electa Arenal. Interview begins at 4:15.
Woman-Stirred Radio (WSR) is a LGBTQ cultural journal offering the finest in LGBTQ culture. Live interviews feature writers, musicians, visual artists, academics, and policymakers who impact and change our world. WSR is produced locally with a decidedly global perspective. Hosted by Merry Gangemi, Woman-Stirred Radio broadcasts live every Thursday afternoon from 4 to 6 p.m. on WGDR (Plainfield) and WGDH (Hardwick) and is located on the campus of Goddard College, in historic Plainfield VT.

Jane Satterfield on Woman-Stirred Radio
This Thursday, September 10th, at 4:15, Jane Satterfield joins host Merry Gangemi on Woman-Stirred Radio to discuss her new book, Daughters of Empire.
The book delves into the complex relationships women negotiate in the decision to become mothers and the "complicated legacies of maternal history, both public and private." * Through her carefully honest narrative, Satterfield brings the reader along on her journey of renewed self-discovery. The memoir brilliantly weaves memory and familial legacy into a poet's credible and perceptive self-portrait of the artist.

Interview with Jan Steckel Postponed
Alas, I and the US Mail failed to get a copy of my book to Merry Gangemi in time, so we decided together to postpone my interview with her tomorrow. Let that be a lesson to you all, potential interviewees!
We'll post a new date soon for me to be on the show later in the fall. Meanwhile, you can still purchase my fiction chapbook MIXING TRACKS (Gertrude Press, 2009), winner of the 2008 Gertrude Press Fiction Chapbook Award for LGBT writers for $8 at http://www.gertrudepress.org. (Select Catalog and click on Chapbooks.) That way you'll be able to call into the studio the day of the interview with comments or questions.
Here's what publisher says about the book: "A darkly comic and oddly touching story of sex, drugs, rock and roll, and a plane crash that crushes human bodies while leaving the mandolins unharmed. In MIXING TRACKS, Jan Steckel strikes an unsettling balance between the consolations of memory, the thrilling ephemerality of youthful ambition, and our shared need for connection, even (or especially) when our world seems to have to come to its end."
Sorry about the delay!

Microsoft Confirms Windows Phone 7 Device Manufacturers
Windows Phone 7 is expected to launch this fall, but the phones it will debut on were largely a mystery, until today. Microsoft has confirmed a list of official manufacturers that will have Windows Phone 7 devices ready when the mobile operating system launches.
Microsoft senior product manager Greg Sullivan told Pocket-lint that Windows Phone 7 would be launching on devices from Dell, ASUS, LG, HTC and Samsung.
While all those manufacturers have been rumored to be developing Windows Phone 7 devices, only Samsung and LG have actually shown their own hardware running the mobile operating system. Although, Microsoft also confirmed that the Samsung handset seen running Windows Phone 7 is not the final production model.
This news makes it likely that the Dell Lightning will be Dell's Windows Phone for launch, even though it is not yet official.
Sullivan also said Windows Phone 7 would not be exclusive to any carriers in the UK or the US, so anyone should be able to get a Windows Phone without switching networks.
"We want as many people as possible to be able to get it," Sullivan told Pocket-lint.

CWA Wins Paid Leave Bank Suit Against Christie Administration
The New Jersey Appellate Court issued a decision on September 8th, overturning the Civil Service Commission's regulation and action that caused PLB days to expire as of 12/31/2012.
Read the full court decision on PLB days.
We advised workers who did not want to use their PLB days to not use them and we would fight to uphold the MOA and we again brought this matter to the Court. The Court said on September 8, 2014:
We have considered these arguments in light of the record and applicable legal principles. We reverse that portion of the CSC's final agency determination that required the use of unused PLB days by the Unions' employees before December 31, 2012, and hold that, in accordance with the MOAs, there are no carryover restrictions on remaining unused PLB days. The CSC may adopt a regulation that mirrors the language of the provisions of the MOAs if it so chooses. We reject the Unions' request that PLB days be restored to employees that have already used them.
Nearly 1900 of our members did not use their PLB days and had them taken from them. Those days will be returned.

how can i help my son's stepdad understand, my son is depressed and not lazy?
how can i help my son's stepdad understand, my son is depressed and not lazy?
hi, i have been in the same situation for the last eight years, my son does not get along with his step father, for years i felt depressed with it, until the other day, i sat my husband down, explained that he was actually hurting me by acting the way he was acting towards my boy.. I said to him, i never thought you would hurt me, i started to cry, in the end i explained that my kids are more important to me than he ever will be, and if my kids are not happy, then our marriage would have to end, as hard as that sounds, it gave him a kick up the arse i can tell you, My husband is in the army and we are posted in germany, so a long way from home, but if need be i would go. We have a 5 year old together and he spoils him rotten, my eldest boy is 17 and has not seen his real dad for 6 years, all he wants is a father figure, not to much to ask. My husband is the same, my son goes to his room all the time, my husband never talks to him unless he wants him to do a job, my son does it he says just to keep the peace, he shouldnt have to, my son and i have a strong bond and i think my husband is jealous of that even though he wont admit it, your husband needs to understand he is your boy, and when hes hurting your hurting, its not easy and you will feel like your losing a battle, but he needs to know how your son feels, i wish you all the luck in the world, keep at it, your obviously a great mum otherwise you would not be wanting help xx jeanette xx
I am in that boat too Jeanette.My husband is in the army(we're in the uk at the mo).we've been together for 8 years.my son (light of my life)is 9 years old.sometimes my husband can be ok on the odd occasion with him but most of the time he only interacts with him when he wants my son to do something.its really upsetting to me and i will tell him as soon as my sons out the room.sometimes if i think he's being over the top i'll say so while my son is there.ive told my husband if things dont improve we'll leave him,and i have seriously been thinking about this.im sick of the "talks" now.my husband also has 2 kids (who are lovely)who live with their mum and her partner so i often say"how would you feel if her partner spoke to your kids like that?"which leads to silence half the time.but the other half he tells me im going over the top,which now makes me think "am i" because im watching everything that happens.i know that im not though.he's also not a cuddly dad or loving-but he's the same with his own kids but i do worry about that because my lad is sooo loving.my mum said i just have to double up on my cuddles but i do worry because i dont want my son to think its normal for a dad not to show his kids love.im pretty much stuck because he's a lovely husband but a rubbish dad.and when i hear other people saying that i always think your kids come first get rid of him and make your kids life as happy as you can.me and my son have a strong bond too and my husband couldnt get any further away from us on the couch when we have a cuddle up.but as soon as my son is in bed he cuddles up to me then.my husband loves football and has took my son outside to teach him but my son doesnt like it and prefers rugby-which hubby likes but wont play.they dont seem to have anything in common.

getting xsl:include to work in XT 19991105
Hi, I'm getting a "MalformedURLException: no protocol" error message output to System.out whenever I use xsl:include. What's wrong with this scenario: My "main" xsl file includes another xsl file and tries to access a variable that is declared in the included file. The main xsl looks like this: <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8"/> <xsl:include href="xt-test-include.xsl"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xt-test-include-result> <xsl:value-of select="$xt-test-include-variable"/> </xt-test-include-result> </xsl:template> </xsl:transform> The included xsl file is named xt-test-include.xsl and lives in directory at c:\IBMVJava\ide\project_resources\Advice Utility\com\aexp\advice\formatting\production xsl. It looks like this: <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform/1.0"> <xsl:variable name="xt-test-include-variable" select="'Congratulations, you found me!'"/> </xsl:transform> Before I invoke the XSLProcessor, I instantiate an InputSource for the xsl and send it setSystemId("c:\IBMVJava\ide\project_resources\Advice Utility\com\aexp\advice\formatting\production xsl\"). When I run the processor, I get the following line of output on my console: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: xt-test-include.xsl The comment for method InputSource.setSystemId(String) says the system identifier is optional if there is a character stream (which is the way I'm using it), but "it is still useful to provide one, since the application can use it to resolve relative URIs...". Obviously, my attempt to use href="filename" along with setSystemId(fileLocation) isn't what XT had in mind. Can someone let me know how I need to use setSystemId() and xsl:include? Thanks! . . .

Defending my alma mater
11/7/13 in NFL | Dan_B | 1067 respect
However, I felt compelled to write this piece to defend against one of the silliest and laziest narratives to come out of the entire episode: Jonathan Martin lacked the toughness for the NFL because he went to Stanford. On ESPN we see the so-called "pundits" debating whether players who attend top-tier educational institutions like Stanford are cut out for the NFL. Similar sentiments have been sprawled across the blogosphere, the Twitterverse and the Internet as a whole. This argument is completely asinine and Baylessian.
Jonathan Martin is one individual who may or may not have fit into the Dolphins locker room and may or may not have been mistreated by his elder teammates. I say "may or may not" because all the facts have still yet to bear themselves out. But the key part of that statement is "one individual." You don't need a Stanford education to know that one person does not equal a trend -- in fact it doesn't even warrant notice in the correlation versus causation argument.
If you want a trend, it is the toughness displayed by Stanford players both in college and in the NFL in recent years. In 2006 Stanford went 1-11. By 2012 the program had gone to 3 consecutive BCS bowl games. In between Jim Harbaugh (no one would question his toughness, would they?) came through and lead a resurrection of the program by instilling a blue-collar (with the shirts to match) mentality.
Now, Stanford is seen as a bully in the college football landscape -- a rare program that would rather run through you than around you. This is the team that ran "power" 10 straight plays (right behind Jonathan Martin, actually) in 2009 at the Coliseum right down the throat of Pete Carroll's USC squad en route to a 55-21 drubbing.
In the lead up to tonight's showdown with No. 3 Oregon, articles about the two teams' contrasting styles -- Oregon built on speed, Stanford on power -- are sprawled across that same Internet where the stories questioning Martin's toughness because of his alma mater. A good example is Sports Illustrated's Stewart Mandel's Tuesday feature entitled, "Lessons in toughness: The rise of Stanford linebacker Trent Murphy."
How do you reconcile that story next to the ones about Stanford "softness?"

Following the franchise's legendary return to success under the direction of Crystal Dynamics, Underworld, the studio's sophomore production with Lara Croft, aims to maintain the high level of solid, free-flowing action that reinvigorated the series, while bringing back more of the spooky exploration and challenging jumping puzzles that helped define the classic Tomb Raider games of the late '90s.
Developers strove to create a smooth-moving, contextually integrated character. Motion-capture technology is used for the first time in the series, with the 3D recordings of a world-class gymnast bringing Lara's jumps, flips, and kicks to life. In all, Lara's movement throughout the game incorporates over 2,000 animations.
It takes a god's weapon to kill a god. Lara is set on a quest to obtain the power of Mjöllnir, the hammer of the invincible Thor. Lara's acrobatics and cunning are pushed to their limits in elaborate, sprawling platform puzzles set among ancient tombs and ruins in the jungles of Mexico, the coast of Thailand, beneath the frigid arctic seas, and in other forbidden places of mystic power around the world. ~ T.J.

Leaves of Life - January 25
Robert Burns born 1759.
Lord Frederick Leighton died 1896.
Daniel Maclise born 1811.
When ranting round in pleasure's ring
Religion may be blinded:
Or if she gie a random sting,
It may be little minded:
But when on life we're Tempest-driv'n—
A conscience but a canker,
A correspondence fixed wi' Heav'n,
Is sure a noble anchor.
—Robert Burns.
Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever;
Do noble things, not dream them, all day long:
And so make life, death, and that vast forever
One grand sweet song.
—Charles Kingsley.
O Lord, by these things men live;
And wholly therein is the life of my spirit:
Wherefore recover thou me, and make me to live.
—Isaiah 38. 16.
Gracious Father, grant that I may not be willing to spend my life for trivial needs, for thou dost measure me for what I am, and boldest me for what I lose in waste. Be with me in my judgment of what is best, that I may make the most of my life. Amen.

Stanford's success shows benefit of sticking together
Their names might have been unknown to the Kansas Jayhawks just two days ago. Their coach might have been considered a goner just two weeks ago. Their school's women's team is far more famous than they are.
None of that matters to the Stanford men. The Cardinal are in the Sweet 16 for the first time in six years. Finally, Johnny Dawkins' team isn't overshadowed by the other programs at Stanford.
"We've been working for this since the day we got to this school," said senior forwardDwight Powell.
And Stanford's growth – not just over four years but over four days – is another illustration that good things can come to college players who stay in school. Who grind through the difficult years and learn the system and figure out how to play together.
One of the subtexts of this year's NCAA Tournament is programs that favor continuity versus the one-and-done rent-a-player programs. Josh Huestis, Stanford's senior forward, shutting down Kansas freshman Andrew Wiggins, a projected top pick in the NBA, was the perfect example of how perseverance can overcome hyped talent.
A year ago, Powell could have been drafted by the NBA. Dawkins had one of his assistants take Powell an NBA scouting report, so he could know what the league thought of him and make an informed decision. Powell refused to even look at the sheet.
"I'd already made my decision to stay," Powell said. "I had two goals: to get my degree, and I wanted to make it to the tournament."
Goals accomplished (Powell's degree in science, technology and society will be coming in June).
Now the Stanford men will take on the Dayton Flyers in Memphis on Thursday. The game is arguably the most interesting of the next round: a matchup of a No. 10 and a No. 11 seed, meaning that a serious underdog will be heading to the Elite Eight no matter who wins.
Dayton is sure to have scouted Stanford well, something that Kansas didn't seem to do. When asked in a Saturday news conference about Stanford's leading scorer, Chasson Randle, Wiggins and Wayne Selden Jr. had no idea who he was and couldn't even fake it. The Jayhawks appeared to be looking ahead to a spot in the Sweet 16.
"That could've been a possibility," Randle said.
Stanford won't make that mistake with the Flyers.
"We know who they are," Randle said.
Dawkins certainly does. His son Aubrey, a senior at a prep school in New Hampshire, is being recruited by Dayton head coach Archie Miller. Aubrey Dawkins is considering other schools – like Utah State, Pepperdine and Montana – and will make his decision later in the spring. Dawkins said his son will be flying to Memphis to see his father coach against his potential future school.
No matter what happens, it will be a triumphant moment for Dawkins, whose job was considered at risk if Stanford hadn't made the NCAA Tournament. The Cardinal had won as many tournament games over Dawkins' tenure as Washington State and Oregon State: zero.
Stanford finished the regular season 21-12. After six seasons, Dawkins' team hadn't made the progress that is now routinely expected from the athletic programs at Stanford. But Dawkins hasn't been listening to the rumors.
"I don't follow it," he said. "I'm just happy the program has an opportunity to be in this situation. You can talk about me all you want, but it's really about them and their growth."
–Ann Killion, San Francisco Chronicle
Giants should wait on giving Sandoval a long-term extension
In the Giants' press box late last season, as Pablo Sandoval stumbled to the end of a bad season, the guessing was that he'd get into shape for his final season before free agency so he could score a big contract.
So, Sandoval lost a considerable amount of weight in the offseason and reported to camp this spring in his best condition in years. Surprise No. 1. Now, his agent is reportedly seeking a contract extension modeled on what outfielder Hunter Pence got, five years for $90 million. Surprise No. 2.
The Giants aren't biting, and good for them. They've given big contracts to Buster Posey and Matt Cain, but they're both solid citizens who always give their best. Cain had his problems last season because he'd pitched so many high-stress innings in the 2012 postseason, as the Giants won the World Series for the second time in three years. Posey also tired late in the season because of the strain of the previous season. But I expect both to bounce back this year.
Pence played out the final year of his old contract last season because the Giants wanted to see what he would do. They saw a high-energy player who played in every game and gave his best effort every day.
That doesn't describe Sandoval. He's an extraordinary athlete, ambidextrous (when a hard-hit ball knocked his glove off one time in the minors, he threw the runner out left-handed) and with great power. Nobody will ever forget the towering home run he hit off Justin Verlander, the best pitcher in baseball that year, in the 2012 World Series.
He has also been a young man with little personal discipline. He was seriously overweight in the second half of last season, unable to move well in the field and inconsistent at the plate. Sandoval has always been a bad-ball hitter, often getting base hits, even home runs off pitches well out of the strike zone. But last season, he became a bad-ball swinger. By the second half of the season, he wasn't hitting and was a distinct liability in the field.
It would be sheer stupidity for the Giants to give Sandoval a Pence-type contract at this point. They haven't done anything that stupid since they signed Barry Zito to that $126 million contract.
They can afford to wait because there's a clause in the free agency procedure which gives them partial protection: If they make a qualifying offer to Sandoval as he enters free agency, a team signing him would lose its first-round pick in the draft. In recent years, the draft has become an important part of building big-league teams. Posey, Cain, Madison Bumgarner and Tim Lincecum were all first-round picks by the Giants.

Raiders brass dealing with NFL reality
Reggie McKenzie and Mark Davis weren't selling a Raiders miracle quick-fix two years ago at the start of this, and they sure aren't doing it now, either.
This is still about slow and at times painful progress, even though the Raiders general manager and owner entered this offseason with almost $60 million of salary-cap room.
Yes, the "reconstruction" of the Raiders was scheduled to start a little while ago, and it was theoretically going to be amazing to behold.
But the massive rebuilding project has hit a few bumps and — surprise — there still might be even more "deconstruction" to go.
Monday, despite their hit-and-miss early free agent period, McKenzie and Davis sounded optimistic about the work they've done, but they also were buckled down for a lot more grueling days — or years — to come.
"It didn't go 100 percent, but I got some things answered, put it that way," McKenzie said, referring to the Raiders' losing Jared Veldheer and Lamarr Houston and signing several established veterans in free agency this month.
"Getting the addition of some key position players, depth, leadership … some of those things went well.
"I don't like losing my own players, but it happened. So I moved on."
During an earlier break at the NFL annual meetings here, Davis redirected most football questions to his G.M. and generally said things were going "pretty well."
But when I asked Davis which players he can count as long-term foundation pieces for the Raiders' rebuild, Davis conceded that he couldn't immediately think of many.
"That's a good question," Davis said. "I'd have to think about that …
"Foundation guys — guys that are what people would look at and say, 'That's a Raider.' I don't know. It would be hard to say.
"(Fullback) Marcel Reece is a leader of this team; he's a captain of this team. But we'll see. I'll have to answer that later for you."
Here are some other topics McKenzie and Davis addressed Monday, all of which hit on a theme of realistic goals and moderate expectations:
- Asked about Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson, whose time in Philadelphia seems to be nearing an end, McKenzie declined to comment but didn't seem to rule out interest."I'm not going to tell you," McKenzie said with a grin.Does a player who makes as much money as Jackson — and with his occasionally cantankerous personality — fit with McKenzie's model for the Raiders?
"As long as he's a really good player that we think is really going to elevate our team," McKenzie said.
McKenzie has stressed team chemistry during his tenure but suggested that Jackson's reputation as a malcontent isn't a deal-killer all by itself.
- Davis denied a report that he made the final decision on voiding the free-agent contract for offensive lineman Rodger Saffold after medical concerns were raised but said he had a thought about the situation."My opinion was that he was an injured player, and I didn't know whether that was the best thing for us to do at that time," Davis said.
- McKenzie said the Raiders didn't use the franchise tag to keep either Veldheer or Houston because he believed he could sign both to long-term deals."Guys, I didn't let Veldheer go — I really wanted to keep him," McKenzie said. "But it was his decision to go …"He indicated to us he wanted to be here. So we would pay whatever the market was, that's what we told him."
Instead, Veldheer signed with Arizona.
McKenzie indicated a similar process happened with Houston, who signed with Chicago.
- The Raiders signed short-term deals with pass rushers Justin Tuck and LaMarr Woodley, defensive lineman Antonio Smith, cornerback Tarell Brown and tackle Austin Howard — all in their late-20s or early 30s."You look at the tape, when you mention age, if they looked like they should be retiring soon, I wouldn't have brought them in," McKenzie said.Is the idea to use these players as a multiseason bridge as the Raiders' draft picks develop?
"That's the plan," McKenzie said.
- When I asked McKenzie the same question about the Raiders' foundation players, he also didn't name many beyond Reece."We're growing into that; some of these receivers are starting to grow, we've got a young receiving corps," McKenzie said. "We've got a very young tight end corps …"I think some of the offensive linemen, like (Stefen) Wisniewski is one of those foundation pieces."

Georgia-Pacific Offers App for Panel Productscomments (0) April 24th, 2014 in Blogs
Georgia-Pacific Wood Products has developed an app for iPads, iPhones, and Android devices designed to help builders choose the most appropriate structural panel for the job in front of them.
The GP Panel Guide app is a free download available at the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
"This app is perfect for answering customer questions and helping with product selection in the store aisles, on the job site, in the dealer yard, or at home," GP senior marketing manager Jeff Key said in a news release.
The app has two sections, applications and products, so users can browse either by where the panel is going to be used or by its brand name. Applications include roof, wall, and floor sheathing as well as interior panels and exterior siding. Each product summary includes specs, installation tips, warranty information, and third-party certifications.
And if you want a reminder on how to read the APA grade stamp, you'll find that as well.

Love these

Nice looking shorts. Comfortable enough to wear anywhere, but they look nice enough to get by when you have to dress a little nicer. Run just barely small.
Runs a little small
Austin Heath
These are really comfortable shorts. But they run about a size small, luckily I ordered a size up.
Billabong Carter
Bradley Austin
Just snagged a pair of these Billabong Carter shorts and I'm for sure digging them. Great quality with the poly/cotton mix, something that will take the abuse of day-to-day use and the washer and dryer without wearing out quickly.
I'm 6'0" tall with a 32/33" inseam, and the 22" outseam falls at the knee perfectly. They seem to run just a tiny bit small, so I went with the 34" waist over my usual 32" waist. Fit is perfect.

Childhood Officially Left Behind in Half-Blood Prince
- Wednesday, July 15, 2009
While dealing with the whole Voldemort situation, there's another, far less threatening, but still powerful force that has overcome the students at Hogwarts—teen romance. Offering a nice bit of comic relief in these otherwise serious times, it seems everyone (including Harry) has been bitten by the infatuation bug. Not only has Hermoine's thinly veiled crush on Ron become far more pronounced (a scenario that's very enjoyable to watch, especially when she's green with jealousy, given the affection that Lavender [Jessie Cave] lavishes on Ron), but Harry has his eye on Ron's sister Ginny (Bonnie Wright), a romance that slowly and sweetly develops in the midst of Harry's focus on far more volatile matters.
Rather than feeling tacked on, a result that could've happened without the proper care, the romantic subplot provides a more human glimpse of these teens with a knack for wizardry. No matter how the world may be crashing down around them, Harry and his friends are still ruled by ungovernable forces like hormones and need each other's friendship and support like never before.
As one of the enduring themes of the Harry Potter series, friendship eventually evolves into self-sacrifice as the story wears on. Without revealing any major plot details, this sacrificial turn is precisely where this beloved children's series, not to mention the characters themselves, make their way into very adult territory. Feeling the weight of his fate as "the chosen one," Harry, along with his pals, are heading toward the ultimate battle between good and evil, one replete with religious symbolism and overtones. And more than ever before, the character of Harry is positioned as the Jesus figure, a symbol of hope in a hopeless world, a timely reminder that certainly won't be lost on any Christians who happen to be watching.
- Drugs/Alcohol: Harry, Hermoine and Ron drink butter beer.
- Language/Profanity: A few uses of mild profanity including "hell," "damn" and "piss off."
- Sex/Nudity: Romance is definitely on the brain in Hogwarts this time around. There are a few kisses between different teen couples, but nothing more.
- Violence: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has an even darker tone than any of the other Potter movies to date. And the first scene definitely sets the pace when the Millennium Bridge is destroyed and several civilians are thrown off. A couple of fights break out between Harry and Draco, and their faces are bloodied. There are violent exchanges between the Weasleys and the Death Eaters, and more precarious spells are concocted than ever before, especially when one of Harry's classmates is possessed and nearly dies. The last 20 minutes are the most violent and action-packed of them all when Dumbledore and Harry make their way to the cave. What eventually goes down is different than what actually happens in the books, so I won't spoil it here. Be forewarned, however, this isn't stuff for younger children, despite the PG rating.

Pittsburgh to host ESX 2010
City's convenient location, unique entertainment options to sustain strong growth
June 9, 2009 - The Electronic Security Expo (ESX) will head to the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, PA in 2010. Scheduled for June 14-18, the CSAA and NBFAA owned and sponsored event will feature programs that take advantage of the unique market strengths of Pittsburgh and its emergence as a fun, convenient and affordable convention destination.
All-Star Hosts. ESX 2010 will be co-hosted by two industry-leading integration and monitoring companies - Pittsburgh, PA-based Guardian Protection Services and Vector Security. SDM magazine ranked Vector 7th with $176 million in security installation and monitoring revenue in 2008 and Guardian 9th with over $126 million in revenue. As ESX 2010 All Star hosts Guardian and Vector are contributing to the development of the overall education and special events plan, including senior executives from their companies as presenters in ESX's increasingly peer-to-peer education program and providing tips on uniquely Pittsburgh entertainment options.
ESX Focus Areas. For 2010, ESX will continue to cover a broad range of security technologies, applications and integration/monitoring company management disciplines and business practices. The ESX show floor will be populated by manufacturers and distributors of video surveillance, electronic access control, intrusion and fire alarms, custom electronics, monitoring services and consulting and business services. The ESX seminar program will maintain its structure with tracks of courses covering: Business Development & Management, Installation Management, Sales & Marketing, Central Station Operations, Video/Access/Integration, Fire Detection, IP-enabled/Networked Security, and New Leaders. ESX will also be establishing focuses on important areas of opportunity and growth for the security integration and monitoring industry.
• ESX 2010 Advanced Application Focus: Telehealth. Demographic and health care industry changes are driving demand for a new suite of products and services designed to provide health monitoring, diagnostics and health care provision via electronics and telecommunications network. Electronic security companies are well positioned to participate in the emerging telehealth value chain. ESX 2010 will offer general session, workshop and seminar content to help integrators and monitoring companies understand and pursue these opportunities. The Pittsburgh connection? The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, not only a research institution but a $7 billion+ annual provider of health care services in the middle Atlantic states.
• ESX 2010 Vertical Market Focus: Securing Factories & Plants. While Pittsburgh is no longer a steel manufacturing city itself, it is still the corporate headquarters of major manufacturers such as U.S. Steel, PPG and food processing giant, Heinz. It is also home to one of the country's leading education institutions for robotics and production management in Carnegie-Mellon University. ESX will tap these strong local resources to develop education programs that clue integration companies into the cutting-edge security needs at factories (large, small, heavy and clean) and process industries facilities.
• ESX 2010 Business Practice Focus: Installation Management. Managing system design, installation and service is one of the core engines and keys to profit and growth for an electronic security company. The ESX 2010 seminar program is placing special emphasis on this track to tackle the most urgent and important topics and recruit the most knowledgeable presenters in the discipline.

by Guest Contributor John Jihoon Chang
I often feel as though I'm two men living one life. Many of my peers and contemporaries from an immigrant background have learned how to blend their twin heritages, their cultures passed down from their parents and their cultures locally acquired and somehow become a coherent whole. In my case, an Asian American or more specifically, a Corean American. I won't say this is true for everyone or even most people, but many have navigated this tricky path or perhaps have chosen one culture to adhere closely to in neglect or abandonment of the other.
Growing up, I was one who had never nurtured the Corean in me, rather concentrating on the present reality that I faced as a young person growing up with almost entirely white American peers. There was little value in my Coreanness, especially as it served to distance me from the only society I'd known. It was an inescapable part of my identity, as my genes had mapped my Asian roots upon my face, but it provided little to no advantages in my daily life, rather often distancing me as a "stranger", though the life I'd known was, outside of food, language and minor household traditions, largely the same as my peers. Nevertheless, the appearance of difference combined with the few elements that my household practiced always seemed to divide, even as each white American household, I found, had different sets of cuisine, traditions and even occasionally the use of language.
As such, I was an all-American type, as it proved the path of least resistance. My sister naively would label me as "whitewashed" or a "banana", claiming my abandonment of my Corean heritage while she, all the same adopted the similarly American "AZN" identity, one of the Asian American subcultures defined by heavy adoption of urban mainstream American media tied together with that of a mainstream Asian media as well.
Such a moment left me defensive at the time, but to some extent, she was correct.
Back to that later.
After high school, I'd move on to college and discover my Asian American identity. I found myself socializing a lot more with other Asian Americans, built upon the shared experiences of being differentiated from mainstream white America and often (but not always) upon the shared upbringing by immigrant parents. It's certainly a comfortable place, where those around you don't expect you to be different and share the same racial angst as you. And it also created a space for a new part of me to grow: the Corean me. Continue reading
