RAV4 EV shown in Classic Silver Metallic
$49,800 starting msrp1
103/76 EPA-rated driving range 3/mpge 4
Prices and colors may vary by model.
Since RAV4 EV uses no gas, it gets a miles per gallon equivalent, or mpge, estimate. Think of this as being similar to mpg, but instead of representing miles per gallon of the vehicle's fuel type, it represents the number of miles the vehicle can go using a quantity of fuel with the same energy content as a gallon of gasoline.More Info
RAV4 EV's advanced traction battery stores up to 41.8 kWh and gives you an EPA-rated 103 miles of range. 3 And with RAV4 EV's quiet ride, impressive handling and 10 kW onboard charger that fully charges the battery in five to six hours, 17 you'll be ready to go anywhere, anytime.More Info
With the Charging Station Map App, you can find nearby charging stations using your smartphone 18 19 or vehicle's multimedia system. With the ability to filter by Level 1 or Level 2 charging capabilities, view detailed information such as location hours, number of charges and phone number, the app makes it easy to find a charging station when you need one.
Even a vehicle as unique as RAV4 EV can be hard to find after you've parked it. If you can't remember where you parked, use the Vehicle Finder App 21 on your smartphone 18 19 to view a map of your current location and the last known location of your vehicle, and navigate your way right to your RAV4 EV.
Knowledge is power, especially in an all-electric vehicle like RAV4 EV. The ECO Dashboard App 22 allows you to check out your ECO Driving Score, compare your score with other RAV4 EV ECO Dashboard users, and earn ECO Challenge trophies. You can also share your scores with friends and family.
The vehicle's multimedia system and dual zone climate control system are operated by Intelligent Touch capacitive touch-sensor controls. You can select a radio station or adjust the temperature with just a light tap of your finger.More Info
Stay entertained while exploring with standard Premium Navigation 12 with Entune® App Suite 13 and EV Applications. 23 The 8-in. high-resolution touch-screen has an integrated backup camera 15 display, USB port 24 and access to Entune® App Suite and data services.More Info
Our available SofTex® seat trim weighs about half as much as genuine leather. And the way it's made generates around 85% fewer CO2 emissions and 99% fewer Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) than conventional synthetic leather.More Info
Progressive, yet practical. RAV4 EV won't limit your lifestyle because it's electric. You can go to the hardware store, haul your gear and take your friends, and still be fully electric. Cargo volume with both rows of seats upright is 36.4 cubic feet. 16 Fold the second row, and volume increases to 73.0 cubic feet.More Info
Since it uses zero gas, RAV4 EV is certified as a Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV). With no internal combustion engine of any kind, it doesn't emit any tailpipe pollution.
The best impact on the environment is one that is as small as possible. That's why we're not just building great cars like RAV4 EV; we're investing in our future with everything from innovative fuel technologies to a drive for zero waste in our manufacturing plants.
The LED (light-emitting diode) projector low-beam headlights and Daytime Running Lights (DRL) on RAV4 EV use a fraction of the energy of standard bulbs and last a lot longer. And when you're on a steep grade, the manual leveling system lets you redirect the headlights so you can see exactly what's ahead.More Info
With a drag coefficient of just 0.30, RAV4 EV moves through the air with ease. That's a large part of why it is so efficient, no matter where your adventure takes you.More Info
We're devoted to safety and dependability, and proper vehicle maintenance is important to both. That's why we include ToyotaCare, our no cost maintenance plan, 10 with the purchase or lease of every new RAV4 EV for 2 years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first. For RAV4 EV, 24-hour roadside assistance 30 is also included for 3 years, regardless of mileage.More Info
RAV4 EV is virtually silent, which is why it comes equipped with a Vehicle Proximity Notification System (VPNS). The VPNS emits an undulating electrical whir at speeds up to 15 mph, so people can hear you coming.More Info
To help keep children safe and secure, RAV4 EV has LATCH, which stands for "Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren." With lower anchors on outboard rear seats and tether anchors on all second-row seats, LATCH allows you to mount a child seat quickly and easily.More Info
RAV4 EV is built with crumple zones in the front that are designed to dissipate the force of an accident through a process called controlled deformation.More Info

As the world waits for news on Michael Schumacher, Nico Hulkenberg says as a young German his goal was always to follow in his elder statesman's footsteps.
Dominating Formula One in the early 2000s, Schumacher claimed five titles on the trot with Ferrari to go with the two he had already won with Benetton.
His seven crowns means the 45-year-old still holds the record for the most World titles as well as the most race wins having claimed 91.
At present Schumacher is facing the biggest fight of his life as he remains in a medically induced coma following a skiing accident.
Hulkenberg is the latest to share his thoughts on his compatriot.
"I'm not sure Michael was the reason I started karting, but once I was into racing he obviously inspired me and he was somebody I looked up to," he told the Times Of India.
"He was so dominant and determined and as a young German driver my goal was always to follow in his footsteps.
"For as long as I can remember my aim was to reach Formula One and become a Champion, just like Michael."

The Normandin-Mercier House was established in 1872 by Jules NORMANDIN, a Cognac brooker and landowner.
The site of the Property, close to La Rochelle, is the result of a strategic choice of the XIXth century. At this time, the city was the major export harbour for Cognac, both located on the coast and on the rail network.
This exceptional site offers the perfect ageing for Cognac with a very natural regulation of hygrometry and temperature. In these cellars, there are only Cognac from Grande and Petite Champagne.

WASHINGTON - The group dubbed the "World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band" could also lay claim to most-photographed and photogenic, according to the book's editor Chris Murray.
In Murray's new book, "50 x 20," he celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Rolling Stones through the eyes of 20 world-class photographers.
"The Stones had incredible style, and were remarkable photographic subjects - and remain so today," marvels Murray.
Murray is founder of Govinda Gallery, which operated in Georgetown for 35 years. Murray now focuses his time curating museum shows and working on book projects.
The earliest images in the book date from 1963 when the band still wore matching suits.
"You see them arriving at their first recording session and they have to pool together to pay the cab," says Murray.
The Stones' manager at the time, Andrew Loog Oldham, cultivated a bad boy image that ran counter to The Beatles, Dave Clark 5, The Searchers and other bands.
"The Stones had just limited, basic equipment in those days, and yet they created such a frenzy," Murray says.
Some of the images in the book have never been seen before. Others are outtakes from sessions that produced some of rock's most iconic album covers.
Murray describes how Gered Mankowitz shot the 1966 series of photographs on Primrose Hill in North London.
"On that cover of "Between the Buttons," he put some Vaseline on the edge of his lens, and it gave the photo this very sort of misty, mysterious feeling."
One of the most memorable Rolling Stones images comes from the 1968 session for Beggars Banquet, by photographer Michael Joseph.
"They're all in this Gothic-looking room, at a bacchanal, if you will, a huge feast," says Murray of the photograph that was hand-colored to make it look more provocative and bizarre.
The Rolling Stones' looks changed throughout the years, but were always photogenic.
"In the 70s we have the 'It's Only Rock and Roll' period when they started wearing makeup, and mascara and wearing sailors' uniforms," Murray said.
"It's a pretty incredible thing to see the Stones in 1963. Next thing you know you're in 1993, then 2003. To see the evolution of how they looked, how they dressed," Murray says.
"If you put on the Stones music and look at these pictures, it really takes you on a journey through their 50 years."

emergence of the mind.
The modern mind has produced a staggering list of astonishing behaviors—science, religion, mathematics, language, advanced tool use, decorative dress, dance, culture, art.
These, singly perhaps, but especially taken together, seem to indicate a still-to-be-explained discontinuity between us and all other living things. This brute fact gives rise to some tantalizing questions: What are the basic mental operations and neurological structures that underlie the human mind? And how did the cognitively modern mind emerge?
think tank»
Research at The Department of Cognitive Science examines what differentiates human brain function (particularly its capacity for creativity and innovation) from all other species.

Sign regulation requires the careful balancing of business needs and community planning goals related to streetscape aesthetics and traffic safety. Although the City has changed significantly over the past 30 years, the current sign regulations have essentially remained unchanged during that time period.
Over the past few years, a sign taskforce, the Planning and Zoning Commission, Homeowners/Neighborhood Associations, the City Council, and Sign Companies, the Texas Sign Association, and Local Businesses have worked with city staff to develop concepts and review the draft regulations.
We are soliciting public input on the draft ordinance though September, before we present a final draft to the City Council for adoption. The draft sign ordinance and highlights of the changes are posted on the Sign ordinance revision page, with a form for your comments.
For more information, contact Joelle Jordan at 512-218-5422.

Think 2014 was disruptive? You ain't seen nothing yetAs we come to the end of the year Mumbrella editor Alex Hayes looks back at some of the big themes from 2014, and how they will affect the industry in 2015. It's been just over a year since I took over from Tim in the hot seat looking after the day to day business of the Mumbrella website. It's been a steep learning curve. But then it feels like everyone in the industry has been on a similar learning trajectory too.
A Mumbrella Christmas wrap of 2014's best (and worst) festive adsAre you struggling to feel festive? Then look no further as Mumbrella's creative reporter Miranda Ward wraps up of how brands around the world have been promoting themselves this holiday season to inject a bit of cheer ahead of Christmas Day. 1. While it was hard to go past John Lewis' effort this year, the favourite Christmas ad, in the Mumbrella office at least, was this one from Mulberry. It plays with the competitive nature of gift giving within families, with each family member attempting to one-up each other with its gifts with one lucky member receiving a puppy that waves and a unicorn, with both gifts being outrated by Grandma's efforts.
Is the ad industry much of an industry at all?For all the talk about collaboration, the advertising industry spends a lot time throwing stones at competitive rivals and the industry as a whole. As we approach 2015, Cummins&Partner's Adam Ferrier argues it is time for the industry to work together toward some common outcomes. Bloomberg Business Week has just done something that no agency ever has – they published a list of the work from their rivals that had made them jealous – and all the other great stories other publications had written that they wish they had. Why hasn't this article been written by an agency in Australia?
Hollywood is missing a major revenue stream with its trailersWith 2015 set to be a year of blockbuster movies trailers are amassing millions of views. In this guest post Tyler Greer argues Hollywood is missing a trick by not attaching pre-roll ads to this premium shareable content. Star Wars and Mad Max. Unless you had something more important to do, and it's difficult to think of what that might have been, you'll have joined the collective inhale of breath as the trailers for these two 2015 film releases went live recently. The bad news is that both movies are still months away. The good news is that Jar Jar Binks doesn't seem to be present in either.
From Spreets to Tumblr: Yahoo!7 plots its futureIt's been a year since Ed Harrison quit his role heading Fairfax Media's sales team to be CEO of Yahoo!7. As Harrison marks nine months in the role, he sits down with Nic Christensen to talk about where he sees the digital joint venture going. The last couple of years have been challenging for Yahoo!7. That might be why nine months into his role Ed Harrison, the third CEO of the digital joint venture between Yahoo! and Seven West Media in three years, wants to make it clear his approach is markedly different to his predecessors.
Mumbo Jumbo: Programmatic advertisingProgrammatic. There are few buzzwords that have been thrown around with as much enthusiasm over the past few years. And there's a good reason - programmatic advertising has arguably changed the face of digital media buying more than any other technology. But how exactly does programmatic work, what impact is it really having, and is a programmatic robot going to steal your job? Nic Hodges explains.
Australian media passes its big testOverall, Australia's media outlets did themselves proud in one of their most challenging days, argues Mumbrella's Tim Burrowes In its 58 years, there will have been few days as tough for the Seven Network as yesterday. Thrown into live programming moments after the Sydney siege began opposite its Martin Place studios, the network's team barely put a foot wrong in the rolling coverage which as I write has now been going for 24 hours. Even after having to evacuate its newsroom, Seven kept it together. The first test came just 60 seconds into that broadcast.
Q&A: how the Sydney siege was reported by the public and news professionalsAustralian media academic Julie Posetti watched the coverage of the tragic Sydney siege break on Twitter late at night from Paris, where she is on secondment from the University of Wollongong as a Research Fellow with the World Association of News Publishers and the World Editors Forum. Here she discusses the way the drama was reported in a cross-posting from The Conversation. 1. How did you follow the drama as it developed?
The un-negotiated contract: Why the fight for access to data and information has never mattered moreThe media model has been rewritten in the past decade, but Chris Stephenson asks should the industry do more to make sure the consumer is on board with it. At some point in the last decade a long-established contract between people, media and brands fundamentally changed. What is gradually and incrementally replacing it is an un-negotiated contract – in which information is the new currency, insights and utility are the new value, and the fight for the control of data -whether you realise it or not – is one in which you are already engaged.
The ad industry need to embrace its incompetence to get betterIn this guest post Eaon Pritchard examines the phenomenon of incompetent people not realising how bad at something they are, and applies it to advertising. You may be familiar with the case of one McArthur Wheeler. Wheeler was a man who, in 1995, proceeded to rob two banks in Pittsburg, in broad daylight, using no other method to avoid detection other than covering his face with lemon juice. As lemon juice is usable as invisible ink, Wheeler was certain that it would render his own face invisible, and therefore prevent his face from being recorded by the surveillance cameras.
Australia eyes missing billions with very own 'Google tax'After the Australian Tax Office yesterday announced it was investigating several multinationals for tax minimisation Antony Ting examines what a 'Google tax' would mean for Australia in this cross-posting from The Conversation. Joe Hockey has hinted he may introduce a "Google tax" as a new weapon to tackle profit shifting by multinational enterprises. The Treasurer's suggestion is not only political as a counter to aggressive tax avoidance by multinationals, but also suggests the government may not have full confidence in a successful outcome of the G20/OECD work on base erosion profit shifting (BEPS).
Mumbrella is six - Now we've got a historyToday marks Mumbrella's sixth birthday. Tim Burrowes has a progress update. A couple of months back, I realised the way I look at my time with Mumbrella is changing. Until recently, Mumbrella existed for me in only one tense - something I do. Nowadays, it's also something I did. At six years, we've now been doing Mumbrella for long enough that we've got a history. And part of that is that once a year, I offer you, our reader, some kind of a birthday update.
Why random #hashtags fail in marketing campaignsWhile marketers are increasingly looking for social media ready ideas, simply adding a hashtag to your campaign is not the answer argues Luke Ryan. Ever wondered why no one is using your well-crafted hashtag for your new campaign? This might help. Nearly every marketing campaign that goes out the door these days contains a hashtag, but hardly any of them have real purpose. It's almost like marketers are being pressured into making their traditional marketing campaigns "more social". But let's be real, this is not getting the job done.
Zombie metrics: why Australian cinema just won't stay deadIn this cross-posting fromThe Conversation Deb Verhoeven of Deakin University argues rumours of the death of Australian cinema based on box office are premature, and we should be using another method to measure success. By all reports the Australian cinema is dead. Left for dust by the noisy distractions of big budget movie franchises and the smaller diversions of teeny shiny devices.
Microsoft's head of search David Pann on how Bing is taking on GoogleDavid Pann is the general manager of Microsoft's global search business, the Yahoo Bing Network. In this interview with Mumbrella Asia editor Robin Hicks Pann talks about why Bing is a better deal than Google for advertisers, how to win customers in a market dominated by one player, and how the future of search will be won. You've been on global 'listen and learn tour' of 35 countries to meet with customers. What are the pain points your customers have with Bing?
Bundaberg Red: As smooth as life is rough
A fisherman, catfish and a swimming tongue feature in a new campaign for Bundaberg Red by Leo Burnett Sydney.
The ad introduces the the idea that a catfish has 18 times more taste buds that humans, but is 'nature's cruelest joke' as it is restricted to life in a pond.
The ad finishes with the line, 'As smooth as life is rough'.
A longer version of the ad is also set to break on television.

I guess the tongue worked for Extra Dry so why not have a crack with a sinking ship
I like the idea, but the tongue automatically took my brain to TED. Not sure it'll have the same effect on non-ad nerds though.
Am I missing something? Oh yes, the humour. It has none.

Hello all. I'm the one who wrote and currently publishes the Access to Insight iPhone/iPad app on the Apple App Store. (All I did was write a sort of "wrapper" application for the offline version of the A to I web site; I didn't write or contribute any content to the A to I site or place anything new in the app.)
Due to various conditions I can't really continue to maintain the application or keep it published (it will be on the app store for almost another year since I recently paid the developer account renewal fee thought the content hasn't been updated in a while), so I'd like to find someone else to maintain it and hopefully add features that people have been wanting (like enlarging the size of the text).
Ideally I'd like to pass it off to someone who can have it published on the App Store under an account owned by something like a Theravada literature foundation (for example) that would continue to make it available regardless of what happens with any individual person.
I'm not sure the app is really all that important anymore since I think you can just get a decent PDF reader like GoodReader or PDF Expert and use that to read the html version of A to I, but it still may be worth having a free and easy to install way of reading the material for those with iOS mobile devices.
if anyone has any ideas for me please let me know

Added Feb 21, 2012
by nattyjane
Berkeley, Califo...
As a contributor for The BurdaStyle Sewing Handbook I made a dress variation, and since the book came out I've gotten quite a few requests for a tutorial. This dress was made to go along with the tutorial on my blog. My dress variation includes a rounded collar, buttons up the front, pleated skirt, and a side zipper closure. I wanted to use green cotton from my stash, but didn't have enough so I added in the white cotton and ended up with another color blocked dress. Doesn't the color combination look like slices of green apple?
If you'd like to see the full tutorial, head on over to my blog nattyjanesews.blogspot.com and click on the tutorials tab at the top of the page.
Green and white cotton, invisible zipper, fabric covered buttons.

Locust plague
A plague of the Malagasy Migratory Locust threatens the livelihoods of 13 million people, and could infect 2/3 of the country.
National disaster declared
The Ministry of Agriculture of Madagascar declared a national disaster and requested assistance from FAO to address the current locust plague.
Launch of a three-year emergency programme
The programme, developed by the Ministry of Agriculture and FAO, aims to bring back the locust situation to a recession and safeguard the food security of the vulnerable populations.
Large-scale aerial campaign
More than 99 percent of the treatments are conducted by air. Three mobile aerial bases, which move with the locust population dynamics, have been deployed. Three helicopters and one fixed-wing aircraft ensure timely survey and control operations.

Older versions of add-ins might cause this type of problem. You might also see one of these errors when you try to start one of these Office 2013 applications: Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher, or Visio.
It's important to make sure that Windows is fully up-to-date. A recent update could correct the startup issue you are experiencing with your Office 2013 application:
Note If you aren't sure how to update Windows, the update your computer article will provide information on both manual updates and how to set up automatic updates.
Starting the application in Safe Mode is a great way to find out if the problem is caused by and add-in. To do this, go to your Start screen in Windows 8 or click Start > Run in Windows 7, and type one of the following commands:
If the Office application doesn't start in Safe Mode, the problem isn't with add-ins. Go to the More Information section for other reasons why your Office application is crashing.
If the Office application starts, let's disable the add-ins one at a time.
If the Office application starts, there's a problem with the add-in you unchecked. We recommend you visit the company website for the add-in to check for an updated version you can install. If there isn't a newer version or if you don't need to use the add-in you can leave it unchecked or remove it from your PC.
If the Office application doesn't start, repeat the steps to uncheck the other add-ins one by one. If all add-ins are unchecked and you still can't open your Office application, follow the steps under Troubleshooting COM Add-ins.
A COM Add-in may also be responsible for the startup problem. With the Office application still in Safe Mode:
If the Office application starts, the COM add-in you unchecked is causing the problem. We recommend you visit the company website for the add-in to find out if there's an updated version you can install. If there isn't a newer version or if you don't need to use the COM add-in you can leave it unchecked.
If the Office application doesn't start, the problem isn't related to add-ins. Go to More Information to learn about other reasons why this may happen.
Earlier versions of these add-ins are known to cause problems with Office 2013 applications:
If the problem isn't caused by add-ins, the video configuration of your PC may cause this problem. Go to this article about video configuration incompatibilities for more information.
You can also start Windows in Safe Mode to test if another program on the PC is causing the problem. For more information about Windows Safe Mode troubleshooting, read these articles:

The rock musical Chess, an IUP Lively Arts production in its last week, is a story of intrigue and political manuevering.
But not among the cast, made up entirely of IUP student actors. In them you'll find just dedication, hard work, talent, and a love of theater.
What's it like to be a student AND an actor at IUP? We asked Joe York (photo, right), who plays Freddie.
"One thing you can't do is procrastinate," says York. "You have to be on top of your game 24-7 to be able to balance school work and rehearsals and stay healthy. And you need to be willing to give up your social life."
Indeed. The student-actors rehearse at least four hours a day during the week and maybe six hours on the weekends, York says. Preparation usually begins two months before opening night.
York, a senior musical theater major from Rolling Springs, enjoys all kinds of theater, but especially musical theater and opera productions.
He says he's been in "too many IUP theater productions to count." If he had to name a favorite? "Probably Chess. Or White Christmas."
Why does he spend the hours, giving up his free time, for IUP theater?
"I love it. It's my favorite thing. If I didn't have theater, I'm not sure what I'd do."
York will graduate in May and plans to pursue an MFA in musical theater playwriting.
The production is directed by Jeannie-Marie Brown with musical direction by Sarah Mantel.
"Chess is a very abstract piece," Brown notes, "requiring a great deal of research prior to even beginning rehearsals.
"The students have worked incredibly hard, negotiating through their own class schedules and rehearsals. They have been present and attentive, and that is why we've been able to realize the vision for this production."
Chess, which features hit songs including One Night in Bangkok, I Know Him So Well and Pity the Child, will close this weekend with shows at 8:00 p.m. Thursday, Friday, and Satuday. The production is staged on the Waller Hall Mainstage in the IUP Performing Arts Center. Tickets are available at the door.

Associated Press
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- After surrendering its supply of a lethal injection drug to federal agents in 2011, Arkansas turned to a somewhat surprising place to look for another drug: a list from lawyers for several death row inmates.
The state Department of Correction told The Associated Press this week that it decided to use phenobarbital after attorneys for several death row inmates mentioned in a lawsuit that it might be an available drug. Phenobarbital, which is used to treat seizures, has never been used in a U.S. execution, and critics contend that a drug that's untested in lethal injections could lead to inhumane deaths for condemned prisoners.
"People should not be using inmates as an experiment," said David Lubarsky, who chairs the anesthesiology department at the University of Miami's medical school. "And that is basically what this is. It's basically experimenting."
As drugmakers object to their products' use in lethal injections, more death penalty states have been looking at different options. But the states have revealed little, if any, information about how they go about picking drugs.
"It's been: Here's what we're going to do and unless you can prove it's excruciatingly painful, the courts, they're not experts either, they're going to allow it go forward," said Richard Dieter, executive director of the Washington-based Death Penalty Information Center.
Just last year, Missouri announced plans to use propofol, the anesthetic blamed for pop star Michael Jackson's death, even though that drug hadn't been used in a lethal injection. In explaining the change, the state merely said the decision was due to a lack of another drug. Department of Corrections spokeswoman Mandi Steele declined to comment further Friday, saying the state's execution protocol is the subject of legal action.
The changes came after states' supplies of sodium thiopental dried up when the makers put it off-limits for use in executions. Oklahoma was the first to try pentobarbital, a sedative commonly used to euthanize animals, leading some other states to follow suit. But now those supplies are running out after manufacturers banned its use by states for executions.
In Arkansas, Department of Correction spokeswoman Shea Wilson said the agency consulted medical sources before picking phenobarbital, but Wilson refused to say what those sources were. She also wouldn't say whether the agency considered using other drugs.
"Our research indicated the drug would take effect within 5 minutes and should result in a painless death," Wilson said in an email to the AP.
But even the paperwork that came with the state's supply of phenobarbital, which is a kind of drug known as a barbiturate, warns that the "toxic dose of barbiturates varies considerably," according to records the AP obtained.
"We have no idea about whether or not the injection of such large doses will produce some acute tolerance effect, in which case you may or may not actually be able to kill someone with it," said Lubarsky, who has testified in death penalty cases.
However, Mike Ritze, a family physician and Republican state lawmaker in Oklahoma, said phenobarbital is humane.
"I don't want to compare humans with veterinarians, but for years, they euthanized animals and you can use anything in the barbiturates and they're all very humane. Basically, the person just closes their eyes," said Ritze, a proponent of the death penalty who said he has used phenobarbital to treat patients with seizures.
Arkansas and many of the nation's more than 30 other death penalty states once used a virtually identical three-drug process: The barbiturate sodium thiopental was administered to put the inmate to sleep, and two other drugs were administered to stop breathing and the heart.
As sodium thiopental supplies dried up, Arkansas and several other states initially turned their attention overseas, obtaining the drug from a British supplier. But in 2011, they lost their supplies to federal agents amid legal questions about how they got the drug.
No one responded to phone messages left Friday at West-Ward Pharmaceuticals, the company from which Arkansas bought its latest batch of drugs.
Lubarsky, the anesthesiology department chair, said that "just because the drug sounds alike -- thiopental, pentobarbital, phenobarbital -- that doesn't mean they're that close a cousin."
Those three drugs vary in the amount of time it takes for them to start kicking in. Sodium thiopental is like a light switch: It starts working quickly, and it wears off quickly. Phenobarbital, the drug Arkansas plans to use, takes a bit longer to kick in, and it takes longer for the drug to wear off.

1. Pick one or two papers. If you choose two papers, layer them on top of each other, one slightly smaller than the other.
2. Choose one to three photos. If you choose one or two, duplicate so that you have three photos total. "Cut" into circular shapes, getting gradually smaller.
3. Blend (or use opacity) to blend an element into your background.
4. Place your photos vertically (but offset) down the page.
What exactly is adsr?
When you say offset, what exactly do you mean?
I'm back ... had to find the element to blend.
I'm participating in ADSR, too! My first time ... I'm partnering with Chris ... I'm looking forward to it. It sounds fun!
So that's 4 teams from GDS so far. Sounds fun.
I think Liz started a thread around here somewhere if you need help finding a partner.....

Jason Puncheon's second-half strike handed Tony Pulis a valuable win against his former club as Crystal Palace beat Stoke City 1-0 at Selhurst Park.
Having missed from the penalty spot in Palace's 2-0 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, Ouncheon made the most of a mistake from Stoke winger Oussama Assaidi in the 51st minute to fire low into the net and hand the home side their first win in four Barclays Premier League matches.
Pulis's side were bottom of the table on Saturday morning and climb out of the relegation zone and up to 16th with this victory. The ex-Stoke manager, who spent 10 years at the Britannia Stadium over two spells before leaving at the end of last season, was given a fine reception from both sets of fans as he emerged from the tunnel for the start of the match. Stoke are winless in five Barclays Premier League matches, leaving them two points above the South London side.
Both sides made one change from their previous outings. Palace brought in Adlene Guediora for Cameron Jerome, who is on loan from Stoke and was ineligible against his parent club, while Assaidi returned at the expense of Marko Arnautovic for Stoke.
In the first half, clear opportunities were few. Joel Ward headed Yannick Bolasie's cross wide in the fifth minute, before Marc Wilson's downward header was brilliantly tipped round the post by Julian Speroni 10 minutes later.
Charlie Adam went close for the away side in the opening minute of the second half, collecting Jon Walters' cushioned header and beating Damien Delaney before firing a right-footed shot a yard wide of the post from the edge of the area.
Five minutes later the Eagles moved in front as Puncheon capitalised on Assaidi's error. The Moroccan did well to track the run of Adrian Mariappa and regain possession, only to gift the ball straight to Puncheon, who made space for himself before firing low across Jack Butland and inside the left-hand upright.
The Potters midfielder Adam fizzed an effort narrowly wide from 30 yards in the 63rd minute, while substitute Stephen Ireland fired a first-time volley over the crossbar from a tight angle.
Pulis' side appeared content to sit back and hold on to their lead as Stoke struggled to create any clear goalscoring opportunites, with Peter Crouch curling a shot well wide of Speroni's goal from 20 yards.
Palace were only denied a second by some heroic goalkeeping from Butland six minutes from time, first denying Ward, before jumping to his feet to block Puncheon's follow-up and somehow smothering substitute Stuart O'Keefe's rebound.
There was still time for Butland to deny Puncheon in stoppage time, but in the end it mattered little as the home side held on to seal a crucial three points in their fight to avoid the drop.
Crystal Palace manager Tony Pulis: "The run-in now, with 16 games to go, we've given ourselves a chance from not having a chance but we can't get carried away.
"Puncheon is a good player and people miss penalties. People might say 'not by that much', but Punch has to get over it and there were no problems.
"It was a wonderful reception from the Stoke supporters and I thank them very much. We had a wonderful 10 years together. My wife and daughters were Stoke supporters for 10 years so it was difficult for everybody but the main thing was the three points and I hope and pray to be able to go back to Stoke with Palace next season."
Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "We huffed and puffed a bit and tried to force the issue but made it difficult for ourselves by conceding a poor goal and that's been the case of late and it's something we need to take out of our game.
"Once they got the first goal, in a game that lacked quality, that was going to be key to winning the game and Palace were able to get that through poor defending.
"We need to nip that in the bud and we gave them a helping hand and they were able to get people behind the ball and we didn't have the guile or purpose to create the chances."

Bulls lose to short-staffed Spurs at United Center 103-89
BY JOE COWLEY firstname.lastname@example.com February 11, 2013 9:26PM
Bulls center Joakim Noah is fouled by Spurs center DeJuan Blair (45) as he hauls down a rebound in the first half of the NBA game pitting the Chicago Bulls against the San Antonio Spurs Monday February 11, 2013 at the United Center. Also defending is Spurs forward Matt Bonner. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times

Updated: February 12, 2013 12:34PM
The voice was calm but hoarse, the effects of 48 minutes of yelling and disappointment.
Welcome to Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau's latest therapy session.
And in the wake of the Bulls' 103-89 loss to a San Antonio Spurs team that played without stars Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker because of injuries, Thibodeau made sure his players knew exactly what he was thinking.
''We have to get our intensity back; we have to get our discipline back,'' Thibodeau said, turning a simple question into an opportunity to vent his frustration. ''Right now, people are looking for bailouts. You can't have that. We're taking some shortcuts, and we're paying for it, both offensively and defensively. We're having a lot of random possessions where guys don't know what the other guys are doing, so it's leading to people being stuck with the ball, going one-on-one, and that leads to turnovers.
''Defensively, there are always two things you ask yourself: One, are we doing it hard enough? And two, are we executing the scheme correctly? The bailout is when someone scores: 'Oh, we've got to change.' No, you have to ask yourself if you are doing it hard enough, then if you are executing it correctly.''
No names were needed, either, because Thibodeau called out the entire team. Then again, that was easy for him to do after he watched the Spurs turn 19 Bulls turnovers into 29 points.
''That was probably the difference in the game,'' Thibodeau said. ''Nineteen turnovers, 29 points — you're not going to be successful, especially against a team like that.''
Even with all the gifts they handed to the Spurs, the Bulls seemed to grab the momentum on a dunk by Taj Gibson that pulled them to 76-75 with 9:51 left. The Spurs then missed three consecutive shots, opening the window for the Bulls to crawl through and take control. But it never happened because their
offense went cold.
The Spurs responded with an 11-3 run and outscored the Bulls
27-18 in the fourth quarter, improving to 12-1 in their last 13 games and to a league-best 41-12 overall.
''We didn't play smart, turned the ball over way too much,'' center
Joakim Noah said. ''Disappointing loss. You have to give credit where credit is due: They played really well, but we're not playing good basketball right now. We're on top of each other offensively, and we're not trusting each other defensively.''
An even bigger concern for Noah seems to be the plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He was limited in practice the last few days but played 38 minutes against the Spurs, finishing with seven points on just 3-for-5 shooting and 15 rebounds.
''I've got to figure out something that works 'cause I've got to practice still,'' Noah said, sounding
concerned about where the injury was going.
Asked whether the media was making too much of the foot problem, he responded: ''No, I just don't have a good answer to give you guys. There's no right or wrong. I'm just trying to find something that works.''
Thibodeau had a much differ-
ent answer when asked about
Noah's foot.
''I don't know if you guys realize this, but I do have a trainer,'' Thibodeau said with more than a hint of sarcasm. ''And we have medical people, too.''

Ram Long-Hauler prototype spotted testing, world about to get new largest pickup?
by Jeffrey N. Ross (RSS feed) on Jan 18th, 2013 at 7:30PM
In the past few months, Chrysler's Ram brand has gone from also-ran status behind Ford and General Motors to a class leader in many truck categories including fuel economy (25 miles per gallon highway) and towing (30,000-pound maximum capacity). Now, based off these spy shots recently taken, it looks like Ram is preparing to introduce the be all and end all of pickup trucks, with a production version of its leviathan 2011 Long-Hauler Concept. Our spy shooters recently caught the two-year-old concept truck running around Auburn Hills, MI covered in stickers that would indicate the truck... Read More

Audio Technica ATH-M50x
Beats Studio Wireless Series
Bose QuietComfort 25
Beyerdynamic T 51 pstars
While it's fairly pricey at $289, the German-made Beyerdynamic T 51 p is one of the best...
Editors' note (June 13, 2014): As of April 2014, Bose is retiring the OE2 and OE2i headphones reviewed here and replacing them with the new Bose SoundTrue models. That said, if you can find a discounted OE2/OE2i (for $100 or less), it's a great deal.
Here's something you don't see every day: a pair of white Bose headphones. Yes, it's the company's second-generation on-ear headphones, the OE2 ($149.95) and OE2i ($179.95), each offered in black or white.
That "i" in the step-up OE2i adds a microphone for cell phone calls along with an Apple- friendly inline remote compatible with more recent iPhone, iPod, iPad, MacBook, and MacBook Pro models. (Some Android smartphones also recognize the remote functionality, but volume control from headphones that carry the "Made for iPhone" stamp doesn't always work).
These headphones are smaller and lighter than Bose's original OE headphones that launched in 2008 and earned my approval for their excellent fit and comfort. Your ears will still get a little steamy under the OE2is in hot weather, but the material is plush for equal weight distribution, and just as importantly, they fold up to fit into a compact carrying case (included).
While they don't isolate noise as well as an over-the-ear model, they do pretty well muffling the sound. (If you want better noise isolation, go with the Bose QuietComfort series--which require batteries to cut out atmospheric sounds--or the Bose AE2 "around-ear" headphones.)
Bose claims that the newly redesigned earcup ports produce a more balance and natural sound without the manufactured "boost" across the frequency range. CNET contributor and audiophile Steve Guttenberg and I both listened for those improvements and agreed that the OE2is sound more natural and don't suffer from "Bose bloat," a term we coined for the obtrusive bass boost. Of course, some folks like the extra bass, so you may not enjoy these as much as the original OE headphones.

iPhone Game Review: SkySmash 1918
Reviewed by JadeDragon
Shoot Em Up games are fun to play and have lots of fans out there. Sadly they seem to be a dying breed in the arcade that's now stuffed with large and loud machines. Thank goodness for Sky Force Reloaded, iFighter and Siberian Strike, we get a taste of the nostalgia on the iPhone and iPod touch. SkySmash 1918 is a straight up shoot em up game that?s set not in World War II but the first Great War in 1918. All the shoot em up elements are here: top down view, 9 long levels with boss fight at the end of each level, and power ups. So put your goggles on, flyboy, you are going to help win the war!
SkySmash 1918 uses historic battles as backdrop of each mission you are going to complete. Battles of Ypres, Battles of Megiddo and Battle of Cambrai are all well known battles in World War I history. Among the 9 battles you fly and fight through, the missions actually vary, which is an intriguing aspect of the gameplay. Instead of just flying through the level and survive the enemy attacks, some levels requires certain percentage of kills of enemy units, other levels require you survivor and kill certain number of enemies and there is a level in which you must escort a general?s plane to its destination. In the escort mission, you can actually shoot down the incoming fire to protect the general?s plane behind you. The varied missions make gameplay seem diverse, however the levels themselves are quite similar.
Like most shoot em up games, SkySmash 1918 has ground enemies and air combat opponents. There are enough types of enemy units to keep you busy, but gameplay isn?t very hectic, like in SkyForce or even Siberian Strike. There are three difficulty levels in the game; the easy and normal levels are quite easy for a veteran of Shoot ?Em Up games, the hard level provides good challenges. There is a boss fight at the end of each level, but they are not varied much at all: it?s either a ground to air tank with two machine guns and a bomb shooter, or a large air plane with three turrets. Beating the bosses is always very easy as there is very little change in patterns and weapons they use. One nice thing about the game is that you don?t have to go back to the first mission to continue. After you finish a mission, you can always either replay the mission or move on to the next.
There are 10 power-ups in SkySmash 1918, and they include gun upgrades, invisibility and different bombs like Bouncing Bomb, Time Warp and Smart Bomb. While the guns on your plane can get continuous upgrades (like from single shooter to double shooter to triple shooter), you an only have one bomb at a time. You must use the one you have in order to pick up a new one. This is not only limiting your ability to use multiple power attacks when your gun just doesn?t cut it, it also takes away the fun of figuring out which bombs or power ups to use in certain situations.
SkySmash 1918 uses the touch control which is very responsive and intuitive to use. For those who care about this: you can control the game with absolute touch (your finger right on top of your plane) and relative touch when you don?t have to put your finger directly above the plane. The game has a separate scoreboard for each difficulty level, but no global scoreboard. There are a couple of bugs in the games, none of which is serious. The game slows down in a couple of spots in later levels, but not in a bad degree and the slow downs passe fast. Also if you don?t quit the game, it won?t let the iPhone go to sleep which can drain your battery and get your iPhone hot.
By just looking at the screen shots, you can see the graphics in SkySmash 1918 look gorgeous. The terrains are very sharp with a good amount of details, and enemy planes and ground units look sharp and stylish.
SkySmash 1918 doesn?t have a lot of background music and sound FX, but what it does have are well done. There is only BMG in the title screen and during a boss fight, but not during the level. Sound FX is realistic yet stylish: the sound of bullets hitting metal, bomber explosion and power-up pick up sound, all sounds cool and fits the theme of the game.
-Very polished graphics
-Different types of mission adds interesting aspect to the gameplay
-Responsive game control
-Good sound FX
-Missions are too easy save the Hard difficulty level
-Boss fights not varied enough
-Not a lot of enemy units on the ground
If you are a Shoot ?Em Up fan and miss the actions in Raiden or 1945, SkySmash 1918 for the iPhone and iPod touch is a capable substitute. It would have bee more than a substitute had the game provided more hectic gameplay and tougher bosses. But the highly styled graphics and 9 long levels should attract your attention and in the end, it?s a worthy game to play. The developer hints that the introductory price might not last long. So while it?s still $0.99, grab it! You won?t be sorry.
Ratings (scale of 1 to 5):
Graphics: -5-
Very sharp and good looking graphics.
Sound: -4-
Not a lot of BMG or sound FX, but what?s there ain?t bad.
Controls: -4.5-
Touch control is responsive and no learning curve.
Gameplay: -4-
9 missions are a fun ride, but compared to Raiden or Siberian Strike, gameplay doesn?t offer the intensity or the tough bosses we are used to in this type of games.
Playing Hints and Tips:
-Double tap the plane to drop bombs, use time warp or invisibility power ups.
-In the escort mission, get in front of the general?s plane and shoot any incoming fire. The general?s plane will seek out to get hit if you don?t get rid of the bullets first.
