General Motors Knew of Ignition Switch Defect
Some things never change. Even with increased U.S. automobile regulations and a "more litigious culture," U.S. consumers continue to drive in death traps. In the 1970s, it was revealed that Ford knew that its Pinto exploded upon rear-ending, but continued to produce them, and avoid implementing the $11 safety solution. Similarly, this year, it was revealed that General Motors had knowledge of the deadly potential of its vehicles, but continued to produce them for over the past decade.
This year, GM has recalled 8.4 million vehicles, mostly due to a faulty ignition switch in the following vehicles: 1997-2005 Chevrolet Malibu, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrique, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2003-14 Cadillac CTS.
Knowledge of the defective ignition switch goes back to 2001. The first reported death caused by a defective ignition switch was in 2005. At least 13 deaths have been reported, to-date, with the potential for hundreds of more, where causation was possibly unknown.
Following the Ford crisis of the 1970s and the exploding Firestone SUV tire in 2000, Congress passed a law in 2000 requiring automakers to report to National Highway Traffic & Safety Administration ("NHTSA") any claims they received blaming defects for injuries or deaths, so the government would not have to rely only on consumer reports. This law was called Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation ("TREAD") and is part of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, codified at 49 U.S.C. §§ 30101-30170. NHTSA also has the ability to dig deeper into any of those claims by then doing a death inquiry — asking the automaker for documentation of each car accident and an assessment of the circumstances leading to each crash.
However, in this case, GM withheld this information from regulators at the NHTSA and in product liability litigation discovery responses.
A law is only as strong and effective as its application and enforcement.
With savvy corporate legal defense and hiding of information from regulators, and corporations' sole objective being to increase profits, when can consumers fully trust a brand for its safety? The issue really underscores the importance of the saying, buyer beware.
If you have been injured by a recalled vehicle, you may have a product liability claim. Some states have a two-year statute of limitations from the date of injury to bring a lawsuit, others have up to three years. Feel free to contact product liability lawyer, Alexandra Filutowski, for a consultation.

The Boy Book (2006)
by E. Lockhart
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I read this quickly a few weeks ago! I really enjoyed it but I needed a break before finishing the last two.
Really about girls and how they relate to boys, each other and that high school growing up phase. Engaging characters and dialogue.
Again, Lockhart's dead on. I identify with Ruby, I love the premise, and the execution leaves me with no complaints. The machinations of high school girls ring true. It would have been easy for this story to get overblown or maudlin, but in Lockhart's hand it remains funny but wincingly real.
I really liked this book........ BUT BOY, does it leave you hanging! I'm glad I waited so long to read it, because now I only have to wait until July for Book 3!! (Book 3: [b:The Treasure Map of Boys: Noel, Jackson, Finn, Hutch--and me, Ruby Oliver|5819551|The Treasure Map of Boys Noel, Jackson, Finn, Hutch--and me, Ruby Oliver (Ruby Oliver, Book 3)|E. Lockhart|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41vn-7LjQ+L._SL75_.jpg|5991564]! I LOVE THE COVER!!)
At the end, I was like, "But... but..... but..... NOOOOEEEELLLLLL!!!!" ;) *sigh*
So that was so NOT a review... Here goes the review:
The book was a great followup to Book 1, [b:The Boyfriend List: 15 guys, 11 shrink appointments, 4 ceramic frogs, and me, Ruby Oliver|301022|The Boyfriend List 15 guys, 11 shrink appointments, 4 ceramic frogs, and me, Ruby Oliver (Readers Circle)|E. Lockhart|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173534943s/301022.jpg|292089]. I really like how Ruby progressed as a character in the book. I kept freaking at her to get over Jackson already, but when I think back on my life.... well, I think Ruby's a pretty true-to-life character. I'm still just really really thankful that I never had friends like her original little group. When the sh*t hits the fan, you find out who your real friends are....
I actually liked this one better than the first one, because various characters actually TOOK ACTION OMG.

Our TDA plan excludes certain employees from participation because they are scheduled to work less than 20 hours. What happens if we discover they have worked 1,000 hours in a given year?
If, on the date of hire, an employee is expected to work less than 1,000 hours in the year, but they actually end up working more than 1,000 hours for that first year, you're okay. But you will not be able to exclude an employee under the 20-hour rule if, in fact, they actually worked more than 1,000 hours in any previous year.
We have a safe harbor plan and do not have to do the nondiscrimination testing. Will these new regulations require us to start testing?
There are a number of safe harbors. There are safe harbor plans for noncontributory (employer-funded) 403(b) plans under Notice 89-23, which are referred to as the disparity safe harbors. If you satisfy one of those, you satisfy all your nondiscrimination testing requirements for years prior to 2009. Those safe harbors will be eliminated beginning in 2009. However, other safe harbors are available for contributory plans to satisfy matching test requirements, and those safe harbors continue to apply. They have not been repealed by the final 403(b) regulation.

The Port of New York and New Jersey, the third-largest U.S. container port and a contender for the top slot when the Panama Canal opens its new locks in 2105, could lose a significant amount of its terminal capacity if the port authority fails to get its act together, and fast.
The New York Container Terminal on Staten Island was put at a significant competitive disadvantage to the four container terminals in New Jersey on Sept. 1, 2011, when the port authority raised tolls on all the bridges and tunnels leading into New York. Port truckers now have to pay $200 in tolls for a round trip with a chassis across the Goethals Bridge from New Jersey to Staten Island to pick up a loaded container at NYCT, deliver it to a warehouse in New Jersey and to dray the empty container back to NYCT. That's up from $80 per round trip before the toll hike. If the truckers don't have E-ZPass, they have to pay $20 more.
That's a 150 percent increase and amounts to almost 10 percent of the average $2,300 ocean freight rate from Hong Kong to New York. What ocean container line or retail importer in their right mind is going to add almost 10 percent to their freight bill from China?
NYCT already has lost more than half its annual volume to the four New Jersey terminals. Some Grand Alliance carriers and big importers such as Home Depot no longer steer shipments to the port's most productive terminal because of the tolls. NYCT stands to lose still more business when individual carrier contracts with the terminal come up for renewal over the next two years. It's death by attrition.
"If this toll increase is not zeroed out, this terminal will not survive," NYCT CEO Jim Devine said last year when the increase was announced. "It's that simple. This increase will kill it, unequivocally."
Devine has gone silent since then because the port authority has been trying to find a solution. It has already cut tolls on Staten Island residents who commute to New Jersey to $4.75 from $12 during peak hours. But it has been studying the truck toll issue for a year now and hasn't come up with a toll cut.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is spending millions of dollars to dredge the Kill van Kull channel leading to NYCT, and the port authority has spent millions of dollars in its own right to extend ExpressRail to NYCT. What good is the investment of all those millions of dollars if the port authority can't provide a significant break in the tolls that are killing the terminal?
It's high time for the port authority to provide a solution for truckers along the lines they have given to Staten Island commuters. If it doesn't fix the issue it has created, the city stands to lose 550 jobs at the terminals, and the region will lose millions in tax revenue.

The '00s were the decade of the fantasy film -- so what better way to start off the new year than with a fantasy 2,000 years in the making? Clash of the Titans retells the ancient Greek myth of the warrior Perseus, who slaughtered the snake-haired demon Medusa with the help of the gods. Except Clash of the Titans ups the stakes even further: Perseus must battle Hades, Lord of the Underworld, in order to stop him from unleashing hell on Earth. Sounds epic, indeed.
While the original 1981 Clash of the Titans movie used stop-motion effects for its magic, the remake uses digital technology for a Lord of the Rings effect. Its stars include the two biggest fantasy actors of the moment -- Avatar's Sam Worthington and Prince of Persia's Gemma Arterton -- along with heavyweights Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes as Zeus and Hades. And if you're the kind of girl who's into fantasy creatures, this movie is a goldmine: the trailer has sea monsters, giant scorpions, winged griffins, even a pegasus. A pegasus! We haven't seen one of those since She-Ra.
Check out the new trailer below. The movie comes out on March 26th (along with the accompanying videogame, naturally).

Xbox 360 S (Slim) 250GB £149.99 instore @ Sainsbury's
ScottC2105posted 4 years, 5 months ago
I've been informed that Sainsbury's nationwide will be offering the Xbox 360 S 250GB for £149.99 on launch day. There's a catch, it's for the first TWO (2) customers only.
I know Sainsbury's in Chesterfield will be doing this.
I know it's only two but I'd thought I'd still put it on here so people can get their tents ready anyhow.

It was never particularly likely, let's be honest. At the end of the day, not many people have been working under the assumption that this price would be legit, but of course it was worth keeping an eye on, just in case it turned out to be true!
- Pudgyy4 years, 5 months ago #30Show comment tools Replyyep mate sainsburys would lose way 2 much money
also one employee as said that each store is getting about 6 consoles
- Avenger13244 years, 5 months ago #31Show comment tools Replybrilliant if you can get one.
I remember going for MW2 on launch day, being there 5 mins before the store opened and being about 100th in line to get a copy. If this deal is limited to just the first 2 - hell you'd be hard pushed to get it even if you had queued up from the night before. All it takes is for someone to be a bit quicker sprinting through the store to reach it first.
Would be good if there is some more confirmation of this deal before the day
- Huzz4 years, 5 months ago #32Show comment tools ReplyThe deals I got a look at earlier for the console were £199.99 on its own and £209.99 with 1 game like Red Dead Redemption. Didn't see anything on this special price or stock levels.

How can I create a live Ubuntu 11.10 CD on SUSE?

This question came from our site for Ubuntu users and developers.
This page says to use the default disc burning program to 'Create from image'; try that first. If you want to try something fancy you can make a customized version of Ubuntu in SUSE Studio and burn that as an ISO, instead.
Just burn the ISO you have to CD as an image with whatever program Suse has for that. It doesn't really matter which distro you use.

Alex Jones is trying to warn us about an evil syndicate of bankers who control most of the world's governments and stand poised to unite the planet under their totalitarian reign, a "New World Order." While we might be tempted to dismiss Jones as a nut, the "king of conspiracy" is a popular radio show host. The part-time filmmaker's latest movie, The Obama Deception, in which he argues that Obama is a puppet of the criminal bankers, has been viewed millions of times on YouTube.
When we spoke, Jones ranted for two hours about FEMA concentration camps, Halliburton child kidnappers, government eugenics programs—and more. When I stopped him to ask for evidence the government is practicing eugenics, he pointed to a national security memorandum. But I found the document to be a bland policy report.

Humanities & Basic Medical
Sciences Curriculum
In this Issue:
If you have a medical question, you are likely to find more answers than you want or need in cyberspace. Institutions such as medical schools, medical centers, hospitals, private corporations, and funding organizations operate websites which offer the latest information on HIV, cancer, diabetes, allergies, arthritis, and many other diseases. Many medical journals now publish articles on-line. There are also chat-rooms, listservers, support groups, news groups, and bulletin boards available throughout the internet. Cyberspace promises to improve health care by offering patients and professionals an abundance of information about diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and research.
This flood of information also poses a grave threat to health care, however. Although websites can inform people, they may also misinform them, and people who are misinformed are more likely to make poor decisions. Misinformed choices may have adverse consequences, such as misdiagnosis, mistreatment, suffering, or death.
Medical misinformation can arise in at least three different ways: 1) people may obtain poor medical information from unreliable (i.e. fraudulent, pseudo-scientific) sources; 2) people may obtain poor information from reliable sources that disseminate errors or mistakes; 3) people may obtain good information from reliable sources but cannot interpret or apply the information correctly because it is too technical or inconclusive.
For example, a recent study of websites that post information about the management of diarrhea in children found that a majority of the articles on the topic provided information that does not conform to the American Academy of Pediatrics' (AAP) guidelines. Eighty six percent of the original documents in the study came from traditional medicine sites, but 14% came from alternative medicine sites. Among the articles from traditional sites, only 20% gave recommendations that conformed to the AAP's guidelines [1].
Even if a parent or guardian finds a reliable website that provides good information about the management of diarrhea in children, he/she may not be able to understand and apply the information. Can the child be given water or Gatorade if he refuses Pedialyte? Will yogurt help replace bacteria that may be lost? What can trigger diarrhea? When should the child see a pediatrician?
Many health care professionals would like to believe that patients will seek medical help instead of using websites and other information sources for self-diagnosis and self-treatment. However, in the cyberage many people may find it more convenient (and less expensive) to obtain help that is only a few clicks away.
Similar problems can arise if a health care professional seeks to obtain medical information about a subject outside his/her area of expertise. For example, suppose a pediatrician wants to learn more about allergies in children. If he/she uncritically gathers data from websites, he/she may pass on misinformation to patients.
The problem of medical misinformation needs to be addressed if health care professionals and patients are to take full advantage of the internet and world wide web. One possible solution is to attempt to regulate cyberspace in order to prevent medical errors and cyber-quackery. But this solution suffers from at least five difficulties. First, who would be enlisted to peer review/censor cyberspace? It would take a tremendous amount of human resources to keep up with even a single issue, such as diarrhea. Second, it is sometimes not easy to distinguish outright quackery from controversial medicine. Some of the poor medical misinformation on the web is provided by people who simply advocate treatments or methods that are not scientifically accepted. They may include consumers, medical researchers, health care professionals, and businesses that operate on the fringes of science and medicine. Attempts to prevent cyber-quackery may also stop the free flow of legitimate medical information on the internet and world wide web.
Third, since their inception, the internet and world wide web have been models of free speech. These technologies have been so successful because they enhance the free communication of ideas. Censoring cyberspace, even to promote human health, may be like throwing out the baby with the bath water. Fourth, even if we could stop cyber-quackery, we would still not be able to prevent people from misunderstanding or misapplying legitimate medical information. Fifth, it is not clear if there is currently a sound legal basis for any meaningful regulation of cyberspace. Although the FDA and the FTC have the power to protect consumers from harmful products and deceptive advertisements, their domain is limited to the United States; cyberspace spans the globe. Even when commerce occurs within US borders, the FDA and FTC cannot stop the transmission of all fraudulent medical information. The FDA can prevent manufacturers of vitamin E from putting a label on a bottle saying that the vitamin prevents cancer, and the FTC can stop manufacturers from advertising vitamin E as a cure for cancer, but neither organization has the authority to prevent manufacturers from publishing studies about vitamin E's potential role in cancer prevention.
Education would appear to offer the best solution to the problem of medical misinformation in cyberspace. Health care professionals and patients need to learn more about how to find, understand, and apply medical information. They need to be able to distinguish between good and bad sources, and use the good information they obtain. Health care professionals should warn their patients to review critically all medical information obtained in cyberspace and they should practice what they preach. Professional associations and medical institutions should strive to counteract misinformation in cyberspace with informative, accessible, websites. Two worthy efforts to battle misinformation include Quackwatch (www.quackwatch.com/index.html), which helps people spot fraudulent or misleading medical information disseminated in cyberspace (or elsewhere), and former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop's website (www.DrKoop.com), which rates medical websites for accuracy and truthfulness. The internet and world wide web can play an important role in medical education. Websites can provide patients and health care professionals with fundamental information about medical conditions and human health. Although cyberspace can be a two-edged sword when it comes to medical information, its potential benefits still far outweigh its potential harms.

Researchers have known for decades that jobs with high demands and low autonomy seem to drain workers' mental and physical health. For example, women with these types of jobs were 40 percent more likely to suffer from heart disease in a 10-year study of more than 17,000 women. Because of this pattern, it seems logical that employers can help workers with demanding jobs by giving them more autonomy.
The study used a questionnaire to assess participants' motivation. The questionnaire measured two types of focus. The first is called "prevention focus," which is how much people focus on avoiding negative outcomes such as getting a failing grade. The other, "promotion focus," describes the drive to excel and achieve goals. After completing the questionnaire, 110 university students played the role of a human resources manager answering emails from employees. For the first set of emails, participants had information about company policies but no specific instructions about how to do their jobs. Then, some participants were instructed to answer future emails in chronological order and at a consistent pace, while others were told they were free to choose their own order and pace.
"The results suggest that anxious or risk-averse people may do better in a structured environment where they know exactly what is expected of them." - Dr Stacey Parker (UQ Psychology Lecturer in Organisation Psychology)

Brendan Zietsch looks at a possible genetic link with infidelity: 'Born to be unfaithful? Study says cheating behaviour can be inherited. The story was covered by The Telegraph in the UK.
"It could be the perfect excuse for cheating spouses who are caught out: infidelity may be inherited. Both men and women may be more likely to have affairs as a result of the genes passed down by their parents, according to research."
"Scientists have even identified a single gene which has variations that make women more likely to commit adultery."
"The study, carried out by researchers at the University of Queensland and other institutions, examined the roles played by genes in human affairs."
"Dr Brendan Zietsch, research fellow at the university's school of psychology, who led the study, said: "Our research clearly shows that people's genetic make-up influences how likely they are to have sex with someone outside their main partnership."
The story was also covered by:
Alex Haslam was interviewed on the 7.30 Report last week about the forthcoming G20 in Brisbane, and how police can engage constructively with protesters.
"Most of the people in crowds are there for a good reason and they're actually exercising their legitimate rights whether it's to go to a football match or to engage in protest and if you treat that group of people as if they're just all criminals then they will turn against the police and against the authorities and align themselves with those elements who are intent on violence. So actually you get a spiral of activity which is very, very destructive, very, very counter-productive."
Dr Eric Vanman was featured on Catalyst discussing how his research has shown that people can identify the faces of people crying even at an unconscious level.
"It must just have been something that some ancestor was able to create - this secretion - and those people who could do that when they were sad were more likely to be taken care of and cared for. So you'd basically get these criers that get passed on, where generations after them can now show tears as well."
Professor Paul Harnett published an article on 'The Conversation':
"The starting point for child protection workers to respond to a report of suspected maltreatment is to estimate an overall level of risk. Many jurisdictions across the world use computerised structured decision-making tools that estimate risk based on the presence or absence of specific risk factors and protective factors."
"Decision-making is most straightforward when risk factors clearly outweigh protective factors or vice versa. One such example may be a case where a child shows signs of neglect, rarely attends school and lives with substance-misusing parents who are in a domestically violent relationship."

ABC News online has convered the launch of Crime 101x:
"The University of Queensland is inviting participants from around the globe to take part in a citizen crime scene investigation."
"Participants would learn about the psychology of the law and follow the trial through a series of weekly videos."
James M. Sherlock (PhD candidate in Psychology) published an article on 'The Conversation':
Singld Out, an online dating service based on "cutting-edge" science, has the solution for busy singles to sniff out the perfect companion. Literally.
The dating site, in conjunction with a company called Instant Chemistry, offers its subscribers a DNA-based compatibility check of the genes underlying natural body scent. The site promises better sex, healthier children and greater long-term satisfaction than genetically-incompatible schmucks who stupidly rely on meeting people to start relationships.
Just order a DNA kit, spit in the tube, mail it in and wait for the verdict.
Full Story:
What prompts ordinary people to commit acts of evil?
The question has been debated by philosophers, moralists, historians and scientists for centuries.
One idea that carries much weight today is this: you, me - almost anyone - is capable of carrying out atrocities if ordered to do so.
Commanded by an authoritarian figure, and wishing to conform, we could bulldoze homes, burn books, separate parents from children or even slaughter them, and our much-prized conscience would not as much as flicker.
Called the "banality of evil", the theory has been proffered as an explanation for why ordinary, educated Germans took part in the Jewish genocide of World War II.
Now psychologists, having reviewed an opinion-shaping experiment carried out more than 50 years ago, are calling for a rethink.
"The more we read and the more data we collect, the less evidence we find to support the banality of evil idea, the notion that participants are simply 'thoughtless' or 'mindless' zombies who don't know what they're doing and just go along for the sake of it," said Alex Haslam, a professor at the University of Queensland in Australia.
Full story:
Professor Matt Sanders (Professor of Clinical Psychology; Director, Parenting and Family Support Centre) speaks to 'The Age' about a Queensland Schools decision to ban students from performing cartwheels, handstands or any other type of gymnastic move at school, "unless they are properly supervised by a trained PE teacher".

An office enriched with plants makes staff happier and boosts productivity by 15 per cent, a University of Queensland researcher has found.
The study is the first of its kind to assess the long-term impacts of plants in an office environment.
Co-authored by Professor Alex Haslam, the study found that adding plants to an office also improved employee satisfaction and quality of life.
Professor Haslam said a green office helps employees to be more physically, mentally and emotionally involved in their work.
"Office landscaping helps the workplace become a more enjoyable, comfortable and profitable place to be," he said.
"It appears that in part this is because a green office communicates to employees that their employer cares about them and their welfare.
"Employees from previously lean office environments experienced increased levels of happiness, resulting in a more effective workplace."
The study was conducted in partnership with researchers from Cardiff University, the University of Exeter and the University of Groningen.
The research team examined the impact 'lean' versus 'green' office space has on employees from two large commercial offices in the UK and the Netherlands.
The team monitored staff productivity levels over a two-month period, and employees were surveyed to determine perceptions of air quality, concentration, and workplace satisfaction.
"Employees were more satisfied with their workplace and reported increased concentration levels and better perceived air quality in an office with plants," Professor Haslam said.
"The findings suggest that investing in landscaping an office will pay off through an increase in office workers' quality of life and productivity."
Professor Haslam also said the findings challenge modern business philosophies that suggest a lean office is a more productive one.
"The 'lean' philosophy has been influential across a wide range of organisational domains," he said.
"Modern offices and desks have been stripped back to create sparse spaces - our findings question this widespread theory that less is more – sometimes less is just less."
The study is published today in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied.

Chuck Review: Death by Gondola!by Dan Forcella at . Comments
Following the best episode of the season and, then a week off, "Chuck Versus the Fear of Death" was a run of the mill installment of our favorite spy series.
Filled with a couple of heavy-hitting guest stars, plenty of Chuck and Sarah angst, and a wide variety of humorous lines, it was what you would come to expect from an hour of Chuck. Comparing it to "Chuck Versus the First Fight?" A disappointment.
Every time we've had a Greta, I feel like I've said the same thing: what's the point of this experiment? Then again, every time there is a Greta, it is the same thing, so I don't feel so bad. It's an idea that seems to simply be there in order to bring in whatever guest stars they would like to have, and that doesn't usually create quality story telling.
Don't get me wrong, I love Summer Glau*, and I enjoyed her more than any other Greta (except the Old Spice guy), but the concept really brings nothing to the table. She was a foe for the Buy More guys this week, but it creates more confusion than entertainment.(*It's tough to see Glau as anything other than a Terminator after watching two seasons of the Sarah Connor Chronicles. And yes, I was mad it got canceled.)
Let's move on to what we got out of the Chuck Triple Threat this week.
I am a big Rob Riggle fan, so his Jim Rye absolutely did it for me this week. Whether it was his enjoyment in hitting Chuck repeatedly, him finding it funny when Chuck was in danger, or chomping on a Swiss chocolate bar during the bidding war, he delivered plenty of laughs. The only problem? He got shot off of a gondola, so he won't be returning to us.
Sadly, Morgan didn't bring his A Game this week, but Jeff and Lester stepped it up. Jeff having delusions about the new Greta possessing a tail was good on its own, but Lester taking it in stride like it was no big deal made it that much more hilarious. These guys continue to make me laugh, especially when they comment on the sophistication of Greta's Subway eating habits.
We got a couple of good action bits this week. There was that crazy ninja fight where Rye was testing Chuck's ability, and then the gondola sequence. Chuck continues to find great new places to hold battles. The gondola is perfect because it lends itself well to the old hanging-off-the-ledge routine. Add Riggle falling hundreds of feet to his death and it was quite the scene.
There was plenty of Chuck and Sarah back forth, as the latter was worried about the former heading out into the field without the intersect, but that has grown tiresome. The best heartfelt moment was Casey's acceptance that he really does love this team. It took some pushing by his daughter, and a lot of pushing by Morgan, but Casey came around. He helped Morgan's Buy More problem by explaining to Jeff and Lester that Greta was stealing things, and by episode's end he was completely on board for going to save Chuck.
Moving Forward
Chuck is currently captured by the Belgian dude, who definitely likes his waffles Belgian style. I'm sure the team will go out and find him in the next episode, but what about Frost and Volkoff? Is that story just going to head into the background for some more time? I'm fine with if it is the case because I'd like that plot to get resolved near the end of the season, not now.
What do you think? Will the Belgian get the Intersect? Will the team rescue Chuck? When will Frost come back into the picture? And how much did you miss Awesome this week?

@geographyfanatic I saw that map, it's a disgrace. You're right about Slovenia it was put as one country with Austria and wasn't labeled. Something was weird with Bosnia and Croatia's coastline too...
geographyfanatic: AGREED.
and richard chamberlain totally pwn'd.
but im getting a little annoyed about the whole greta thing too. it's good free eye-candy, but sadly that's not enough for a great show.
Richard Chamberlain huh? I knew he looked familiar, but had no idea who he was. I'm sure I've seen him in things here and there, but what's he famous for?
Love the show! Yes why didn't he mention Richard Chamberlain. It's been a long time I've seen him in anything new. I almost tought he has died. Great to see him again. Riggle added a funny twist to this episode.
How come nobody's mentioning Richard Chamberlain as a guest star? I mean sure, he hasn't been in anything lately, but the guy was hugely popular for decades an he makes an amazing guest star in name alone, nevermind that he was a pretty awesome villain.
Anyone seen the f***ed up map of central Europe?
Czech Rep is labelled Austria, Slovakia is labelled Czech, Austria isn't labelled at all and the Schleswig part of Germany appears to have been ceded to Denmark. Luxembourg is missing altogether, and I'm sure Slovenia wasn't right either. WHERE did the producers find THIS map???
I saw the "bösewicht bergbahn" written on the gondola too and had a good laugh about it! Some nice message for all German-speaking Chuck fans :)
i love how on the gondola was written: "bösewicht bergbahn" what means something like "villain gondola" I live in switzerland and I'm sure this isn't what's normally written on them lol

Sukari, Mohd Aspollah and Takahashi, Shozo (1988) Biological Activity of Some Malaysian Plant Extracts. Pertanika, 11 (2). pp. 249-253.
Extracts obtained from three Malaysian Labiatae plants, including Ocimum sanctum, Mentha arvensis and Orthoshiophon staminea, were investigated for their biological activity. The volatile fraction of each plant was isolated and the major components were characterized by gas chromatography (GC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The antibacterial and antifungal activity, insecticidal activity and inhibition of the germination of seeds of the volatile fraction and residue were studied.

The man accused of killing his own son by dropping a truck on him pleaded not guilty Monday to two counts of second-degree murder.
Karl Karlsen was arraigned Monday on the murder charges and an insurance fraud charge in Seneca County Court.
Karlsen is accused of crushing his son Levi back in 2008 by crushing Levi under the truck he was working on.
Both prosecutors and attorneys say, this is an intriguing case.
"This crime was very unusual. It's never happened before as far as I know in Seneca County. A father allegedly kills a son for insurance proceeds," said Barry Porsch, District Attorney.
"My client is presumed innocent of any criminal charges regarding the circumstance," said Lawrence Kasperek, defense attorney. "Somebody, either a coroner or a medical examiner, determined this was an accident. There must be some reason that the District Attorney's Office changed its perspective on it. We're going to get to the bottom of it.
Porsch tells YNN this is the first murder case prosecuted in Seneca County in more than eleven years.

The ADE7757 is a high accuracy electrical power measurement IC. It is a pin reduction version of AD7755 with an enhancement of a precise oscillator circuit that serves as a clock source to the chip. The ADE7757 eliminates the cost of an external crystal or resonator, thus reducing the overall cost of a meter built wit this IC. The ADE7757 incorporates two second-order sigma delta ADCs, reference circuitry and all the signal processing required to perform active power and energy measurement.
This documentation describes the ADE7757 Evaluation Kit Hardware functionality. The ADE7757 evaluation board, together with the ADE7757 data sheet and this documentation provides a complete evaluation platform for the ADE7757. The evaluation board has been designed so that the ADE7757 can be evaluated in the end application, i.e., Watt-Hour Meter. Using the appropriate shunt resistors on the current channel, the evaluation board can be connected to a test bench or high voltage (220 V rms) test circuit. An on-board resistor divider network provides the attenuation for the line voltage. The evaluation board requires two external 5 V power supplies (one is required for isolation purposes) and the appropriate current transducer.

|You are here: Main / Customer Services / Public Communications Division / 2005 / Mayor Hannemann To Present Emergency Communications Advances
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 21, 2005
Release M-84
Cisco Systems, Inc. asked the city to participate in a demonstration of an IP (Internet Protocol) interoperability system that will allow communication between and among systems that

2009 Toyota Tundra Tundra-Grade Double Cab 5.7L Review
power, and the overall look of the tundra is nice as well as the ride itself.. Rides very nice for a truck
gas milage and transmission when cold seems to be hesitent at times.. Had a few recalls on truck and also a few things that i had to fix under warranty. But they were small and nothing to do with the mechanical operation of the vehicle.
2009 Toyota Truck — Overall the 2009 Toyota Tundra is a very nice truck well built and my first foree into big trucks with Toyota.. The truck is powerful, handles well, and is surprisingly stylish on the interior. The dbl cab is large enough also to where you don't have to give up bed space and get a crew cab druck. On a scale of 1-10 I give the truck a solid 8, but beware of the gas mileage it is not for the faint at heart Pros - Power, Handling, overall style of truck Cons - Gas mileage stay tuned for more info as i drive the truck

2009 Toyota Tundra SR5 CrewMax 5.7L 4WD Review
Huge cab space, tons of power, V6 mileage out of a V8, 3/4 towing capacity, did I mention 380 hp?
Rather plain-jane looking interior, way-too-big towing mirrors
One Word: Crewmax — What is there to say? 381 hp, 400+ lb-ft, V6 mileage, 10,500 lbs towing... Has reclining rear seats which make it comfy to watch movies in the DVD headrests. Great fun to drive. Love beating anything Ford or Dodge have put out! Amazing aftermarket ground effects packages.
Primary Use: Family transportation

Rated 4 out of 5 by 394 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jim888 The staff reflect the hotel We had an excellent stay at your hotel. We had two rooms with our relatives from Michigan. The indoor pool helped break up the visits to the beach. And the adults enjoyed the bar after hours. From Joey a new bartender to Patrick and Amanda at the Starwood guest services, the staff reflected the excellence of the hotel. The face lift of new renovations was spot on with the emphasis on parents with kids enjoying an escape vacation. August 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by wally2014 Right on the Beach - Clean & Comfy Initially given the wrong room type, but that mistake was corrected. Hotel was clean and comfy - right on the beach. Staff was friendly and attentive. Did not eat at the Hotel, but there are restaurants within a short walk/drive. July 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by 2014tmm summer vacation This was our first time at Va beach. the cabana was great, very comfortable.The hotel staff made sure we had everything we needed. the cabana rest. had great food. Everthing was within walking distance. We enjoyed the beach and the pool area. We will visit again soon! thanks to all at the Sheraton! July 14, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jerzie123 Restaurant As the hotel was very nice, the bathrooms could be somewhat larger, but ok. The food I was very disappointed in. The selection was not good. Ordered a sandwich and it was not good very dry. Home made chips are to be served warm not cold and stale. Other restaurants had much better food. July 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pookie1221 Family Beach Vacation We absolutely love this hotel, already planning next year's vacation. The only negative is the size of the bathroom, it is way too small. August 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fran52 Great Staff Must recognize Travis in Bell Services. I left a bag of drinks/wine outside while unloading my car. He kept the bag behind the Bell Station desk until next day. Thanks again Travis! July 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by DottyD Room Amenities We stayed in 529, it was a handicap accessible room. We did not require this type of room but we assumed this was the only suite that was available when we booked our reservation. We did not have a full size ironing board and asked 2 hotel staff employees if we could obtain a full size one. We called guest services and were told the hotel only provides the counter top boards. The board in the room was not even functional. September 7, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Norfolkian Under construction Unfortunately, we had a room without a view. The balcony was unusable due to construction (debris on it and the two plastic chairs were dirty). The pool was closed, although the staff did say there was a pool in a neighboring hotel that could be used. The view from the lounge was very nice and we enjoyed watching the people on the boardwalk from that location. It will be interesting to see how the construction turns out. December 7, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by TDT3 Very pleased this time around We have used the Sheraton Oceanfront many times in the past. It seems that they have stepped it up in the customer service area. The staff was extremely pleasant, always greeting and eager to serve. The breakfast buffet was consistently good as well as the food at the outside restaurant. We will definitely return to the Sheraton Virginia Beach Oceanfront! June 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by momofjjnbri Nice hotel We enjoyed our stay. The hotel and the staff is nice. The housekeepers did not vacuum while cleaning our room. I would not usually complain but with a crawling baby in the room, it needed to be vacuumed. The heated indoor pool did not feel heated to me at all, it was cold. Bathroom in our room was very small. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Va. beach and can't wait to come back. June 3, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by ces66 Unhappy guest The iron spit brown spots on my pants. I told the desk clerk my pants were not able to be worn, she said it was too late in the day to (9:30 am) send them out, they wouldn't be back until 6 pm the next day. She did not offer any other solutions...I had to go buy another pair of pants to wear. Also we had dogs barking two mornings at 7:30 and 8 am! If pets are allowed, they should all be put together & guests made aware. October 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Retirees Great features, but This was our fourth stay in this hotel. We started staying here in 2009. We loved the new changes except for the lighting in the bathroom. It is too, too dim for applying make-up. or for anything else for which you need the mirror. Also, we missed having the free buffet breakfast. Why was it stopped? We did, however, pay for and enjoyed the buffet breakfast for one morning. Also, the new parking garage is wonderful!!! September 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by travelingdoc42 Room Disappointing, Restaurant Much Better This was our second stay at this hotel. Our experience was better the first time when we had no problems with a great room. This time, however, the cold water in the sink only dribbled out. They tried to fix it but could not. They eventually offered us another room late on last day (which we declined). The TV remote also was balky, and they also eventually replaced it. The bill was incorrect (too high) the first and second times they offered it to us. Eventually it was correct. They gave us extra Starwood points to compensate. On the plus side the shower water was always fine, the beds were great and the restaurant was much improved at dinner…. we particularly liked the option of half portions (which turned out to be quite generous for the seared tuna). I'd definitely recommend it! The breakfast buffet was fine, except that they had eliminated the omelets and waffles. September 15, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tootsieroll All we needed in one place. Great everything except air conditioners come on and off loudly when sleeping. Otherwise all great! August 4, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Zwizzer Disorganized breakfast We really tried to be patient....but the breakfast staff is inattentive and clueless. Saturday manager apologized as we're checking out. Summer waitresses more interested in social networking with guests then effective, efficient service. July 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by CaptSR On the Beach Stayed at this location during a business trip and brought the wife along. Front desk staff was the BEST and friendliest I have ever meet. They are the model for Customer Service! No Club Lounge and small parking lot across street for guests, but Platinum members did receive a free breakfast buffet each morning which was excellent. Wife spent the day on the beach and then enjoyed the pool. Excellent location. October 11, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jill40 unfriendly staff Every year my husband and I stay at the oceanfront. We came back to this hotel because the first time we had a great stay. This time it was different. The staff was not friendly. We had the cleaning staff clean half of our room when we were sleeping. The person at the front desk did not even apoligize. She said there is no way that could of happened. We asked for our bed to be made. The room was very small. November 13, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Kathy54 Nothing Special Rooom was average. Bathroom sink drain was SLOW. You could not run water. Hall light did not work. Balcony was great but had no divider so there was no privacy. There was a couch and chairs but no lamps except by the bed. The sockets in the bathroom were put on the wall crooked. (I know that is picky but it all adds up.) The bar around the pool was torn up while we were there. Just not a good experience. June 10, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by jean63 poor gold preferred treatment We had a very good stay; we enjoyed the new renovation; especially the Fusion Dining Restaurant... However, we were very disappointed that we had to use an extra 1400 points to get an upgrade from a city view. It was obvious that there were many oceanfront rooms available because we were given the option of various floors with an oceanfront room. We feel we should get an adjustment for our 1400 points. October 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by DDL53 Comfortable beds I had the best night sleep in a long time due to the comfort of the bedding! August 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LadySEB Weekend Getaway We stayed at the Sheraton Oceanfront Hotel in Va. Beach and we were very pleased with the room and the customer service we were provided. Patrick, who worked at the front desk on Sat. Sept. 21st and 22nd, 2013 attended promptly to all of our requests and went beyond to make us feel good as a guest. Kudos to Patrick!! I would return to this hotel on my next visit to VA. Beach and would refer my friends. September 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by PlantToxGirl Wonderful Vist- EXCELLENT staff! This was an excellent experience. I could tell the rooms had recently been renovated. They had all the amenities I could ask for. But the best part of this experience was the staff. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, helpful (and also gave good food recommendations). I would definitely consider coming back to the Sheraton . . . And the view of the ocean from my balcony was the icing on the cake. October 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by NormSenior Extraordinary, as usual. My family and I travel here every summer for our vacation and it never fails to amaze us. The rooms are amazing, great views, clean, comfortable and the beds are out of this world. The staff (all the staff) never fail to impress. The restaurant staff (Steve and Rick especially) are tremendous. The front desk staff are welcoming and aim to please. This place is THE perfect family getaway destination. August 11, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by MzEMP It was okay. The BEST thing about the stay was the location-ocean front- and for which I paid a premium! The room was cramped with 2 full size beds (I really don't think they were the queen size stated-very small.), nightstand between the beds, only 1 comfy chair, 2 desk chairs, desk and the t.v./entertainment center. On the plus side was that my bed was very comfortable. The bathroom is also cramped and the counter/sink height is only 30" high--weird. Tall people like myself won't like that, but it appeared clean. The other downside was that they didn't throw in a free breakfast. Why do cheaper hotels have breakfast buffets and the more expensive, but not THAT much nicer, can't do the same?? Even for a frequent customer? hmm?? Oh yeah, and $16.99 for a movie that you are going to watch on an old 25" screen t.v.? Come on! Bottom line is that I would probably not stay again at this particular hotel. November 30, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by bulldog357 The hotel room To start it appease as if I was placed on a floor set aside for pets. I was placed in a room with a very skinny window near the cileling with absolutely no view to the outside at all. Out of all my travels I was very disappointed with the bed. It was to softand uncomfortable. I really Sid not think this was worthy of 7000 points. I also had to stretch to give this hotel an overall rating of 3stars. August 29, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by churchsecretary great time Arrived at 3:30 but our room was not available until 6:30 (said the linens didn't arrive on time!) Rooms nice but not really as big as I thought. Reservation was for 4 persons and most days we were lucky to get 2 set of towels! Same for coffee pot. Only gave us 2 disposable cups each day with it's own coffee pod - other 2 had to buy coffee in the morning. The bottled water in the bathroom is nice amenity but if you open it you'll pay $3 every bottle. Take your own dishes (disposable or whatever as there is absolutely nothing in the kitchen area - no plates, no cups, no glasses, no utensils - just lots of empty cupboards and a sink. We went and bought disposable at nearby CVS. Strongly recommend Bison Meatloaf served in the restaurant. Pools are great. Location on boardwalk nice too. Had no trouble getting pool lounges early in the morning. Folks who waited until after 10 weren't as fortunate. July 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Motraveler This hotel is nice. This Sheraton is a nice hotel, just a little older. The room was clean, bed was great and the location is great. The food in the restaurant was great but service a bit slow. Overall I would recommend this hotel to others. July 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by shell54 Was a little disappointed I booked our reservations way in advance and asked that our friend's room be close to ours. It was in a different tower. Both rooms were suppose to be oceanfront. We had a view of the neighbors parkiing lot. The new restaurant Fusions definitely needs improvement, with staff and menu. We have been staying with the Sheraton in VA Beach for a very long time. This is our first disappointment. October 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Deb2911 Fantastic Staff As an SPG Gold Member, the Staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating in changing my reservation at the Westin Virginia Beach to the Sheraton Oceanfront. AND they were able to accommodate me both Friday and Saturday nights with no change or cancellation fees. I will definitely be back!!! June 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Darth76 BEST ON TH EBEACH I am a Platinum for life returning client to this Sheraton property. My wife and I had a wonderful time. The management upgraded my room to a beach view which had easy access to the beach to accommodate our pet dog. The staff made us feel comfortable and at home especiallly the bellmen and front desk clerks. We had thanksgiving dinner at the hotel; It was excellent too. We will be back! November 28, 2012

After starting the season 5-0, and 10-1, Stanford, UCLA's opponent Thursday night, has dropped four of its last five, the lone victory a 68-44 romp over lowly Arizona State at home last Thursday.
All of the Cardinal's last four losses have been in double digits but the ugliest defeat on the Farm was last Saturday's 56-43 loss to Arizona at Maple Pavilion.
Johnny Dawkins' crew made only 16 of 163 field goal attempts (25.4 percent) during the loss. The Cardinal was 7-for-31 (22.1) in the second half. Stanford is shooting just 40.5 percent from the field in Pac-12 games.

Militants Freed in Attack
By Harold Hutchison
As many as 250 militants were sprung from a Pakistani prison after an attack by the Pakistani Taliban. Local cops were outgunned and overwhelmed during the attack. A previous prison attack in April 2012 had freed a few hundred prisoners.
The alleged mastermind of the attack was one of those freed in the April, 2012, prison break. Adnan Rasheed had recently gained notoriety for an open letter to Malala Yousefzai, a 16-year-old girl shot in the head by the Pakistani Taliban for promoting the education of women.
The Pakistani prison break comes less than a week after a prison break in Iraq resulted in 500 militants being sprung.

This second class of Andrea's was really filled with a variety of techniques. Women being empowered with power tools could have been the theme. Sawing, drilling and otherwise changing simple boxes into exquisite lighted book sculptures was the task for the students. It was difficult to capture the beauty of these boxes with a camera. Below are the best of the photos.
Thank you, Andrea. You are an incredibly knowledgeable instructor besides being a wonderful artist. We look forward to you returning.

Find out the answers to all of these questions, and more, right here in 20 mins time on the Christmas #OfficialChart!
The sales tracking process behind the Official Charts is highly complex, representing one of the most sophisticated ongoing market research programmes anywhere in the world. The key steps for creation of the Official Charts and the background data accessed by the music and video industries are as follows:
Data capture – daily
Sales data is retrieved daily from the Official Chart Panel retailers into Millward Brown's central computer system. The Chart Panel is split into retailer types - covering General, Specialist, Supermarkets, Independents and Digital. The data collection is carried out via a variety of electronic methods depending on the type of retailer.
Data checking – daily
Once the sales data has been collected, a number of processes begin to determine the final chart positions. This process involves vigorous security checks. Any sales anomalies that are detected are investigated before being allowed to be included in the chart audit.
The sales data is then matched to the product database of all the chart registered physical and digital data. This is why it is so important for releases to be registered correctly in the first instance.
Midweek Charts - Tuesday to Friday
The first day of the midweek chart information is Tuesday containing sales data for Sunday and Monday. These are used throughout the week by the music and video industries as a guideline for the final published chart on Sundays.
Sunday 1.30pm - The Final Weekly Charts
The official weekly charts are produced each Sunday. Historically, the BBC has a special relationship with the Official Music Charts and the BBC has first broadcasting rights to the Official UK Singles Chart. The Radio 1 UK Top 40 Countdown is broadcast each week on Sunday evenings.
