Ford Edge Tires
good_hands Posts: 1
edited August 31 in Ford
Anybody know how much "bigger/wider, etc" the tires can be on the edge? I have the SEL Plus (245/60/18). Not too concerned about going larger than 18, but wider would help the handling.
Anybody? Anybody? Bueller? Bueller? Anybody?
Anybody? Anybody? Bueller? Bueller? Anybody?
fmichael Posts: 95Might want to call your local Ford dealer, or a reputable tire shop in your area...Dunno if I'll like these OEM Hankook tires - haven't heard/read anything really "good" about this brand...In a few years they'll probably be replaced with some Goodyears, or Michelins :shades:
sranger Posts: 106The best info I have found is here:
This allows you to see how different sizes will affect the vehicle.
The largest I would put on the stock 8" rim is 255/55/18. This would be less than 2% error on the speedo and safe tire on the rim...
dgp13 Posts: 3We're looking hard at an 08 Edge and have driven the Limited with 20" tires. Feels good to me, but I am not a tire expert by any means. What is the value in getting 20" tires (Pirelli, in this case) vs 18", and further, what are my options in case I'd like the dealership to provide another brand tire vs the ones on the vehicle now?
The 20's will ride a bit harsher and usually cost more to replace than 18's. Otherwise it's strictly looks. You'd have to negotiate any tire or wheel swaps with the dealer - depends entirely on what they have in stock and what they're willing to do. But I doubt there are a lot of tire choices in the 20" size.
drmad7 Posts: 4My salesman, myself, AND the sales manager thought the "18 Michelins would be the same price or lower than the "20 Pirelli Scorpions on the Limited I was purchasing. They ended up taking off the "20s and putting on the "18s. I bought the vehicle on Friday 2-29-08 and the Tire Pressure System needed some work so I took it in. I priced out the tire prices and guess what?! The Scorpion 20" for a set of 4 was $570.00 installed. The 18" Michelins (that I have!) are over $1,000 for a set of four! I was crushed. The sales manager had offered to take $600 off the price if I had taken the 20"s!
the_scholar Posts: 2I was looking at getting a Ford Edge as a winter car / daily driver since I have family members who work for Ford. I am a big wheels and tires kind of guy and I was wondering if anyone knows what the wheel widths are for the 17", 18" and 20" wheels? Also, what is the speed rating that is on the corresponding tires? I was trying to research this and unfortunately the Ford website only gives diameters of the wheels and the size of the tires with no other information.

stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 41,990Here's a blurb about them:
"The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it has opened a preliminary evaluation of China-made tire valves in more than a million 2007 Ford vehicles, including the Edge, F-150, Fusion, Mustang and Lincoln MKX, after receiving 37 complaints from consumers."

livinondaedg Posts: 1I am looking to replace those crappy Hancook stock tires on my 2007 Edge. From what I have found out I can put 235 R 65 in 17" or 18" to be in line with what they recomment. I want to put something like scorpions on there or hopefully something cheaper but with similiar looks without changing wheels right now. Anyone got any suggestions?
rschleicher Posts: 79To resurrect the snow cables / chains issue from above - can someone tell me what snow chain/cable restrictions exist for the 2010 Edge, for the various wheel/tire sizes? Has the clearance issue for larger wheels/tires been corrected?
Even with AWD we have chain laws that go into effect in the Sierra, and I will not buy a vehicle that cannot have chains or cables mounted. (I guess another question is - if there are still clearance issues, does Ford offer a solution that would meet chain law requirements?)
shopdog97 Posts: 159Hi, all. I was thinking about purchasing a used Edge AWD with about 79K on it. Haven't actually seen it yet, just thinking about it. We know we DO want AWD/ 4WD in something. I was just wondering how the AWD system in the Edge works. And as for the tire cables to provide extra traction, years ago there was a company that made a product called "Z-Chains" which were actually cables rather than chains. Now this was quite some time ago that I saw this, and I'm wondering if this or another company out there still has this product. Is the Edge's AWD system a 'full time" thing, or does it activate when it's needed? Thanks for your help and have a wonderful day!
It activates the rear wheel torque whenever wheelspin is detected on the front wheels OR if it anticipates that wheel slip might occur based on steering angle, throttle position and yaw sensors. E.g if you're accelerating around a curve or if you nail the throttle from a stop.

star of David
As expected, the item is super cute. A fine necklace and small star are perfect for a subtle look or to be layered with other like necklaces.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

I found this top beautiful, the material, sizing and style were true to the images provided. The top can be worn with a bra underneath and can be worn modestly if desired. A good all-rounder from day to evening.

Not Maternity
I purchased this item being 6 months pregnant, as it was shown in the maternity section. Unfortunately it does not suit the pregnant lady! The top is beautiful, gorgeous material and a lovely flattering cut although the splits at the side are way too high for the protruding belly. My tummy was visible from where my J Brand maternity jeans finished. The top is very pretty for those who are not with child.

large but love
Everything about this top is beautiful, although as mentioned below it is a slightly larger make. I am usually a size small and ordered a size small but should have probably ordered an extra small. Super long too, but works with skinny jeans/pants.
Sizing: Larger than Expected

too hot
I purchased these shorts thinking they would be a reasonably modest length but I would describe them as hot pants, way too short for me in the bum area. I had to return them. Other than the length the shorts were lovely.
Sizing: Smaller than Expected

Listings without a sponsor account (No Owner) associated with a listing can use the claim feature (Claim this ad link will show up on the front of the directory for listings with no owner).
If the Claim this ad link is available on the front area, any sponsor, visitor or new user can claim the listing. After a user claims a listing the sitemgr can either deny their claim to the listing or approve it. The sitemgr's approval gives the user full control over the listing.
If the listing does not have an account and it is not available to claim, you can edit the listing and check the box Disable claim feature for this listing. The Claim this ad link will be turned off for this listing.
If the sponsor or sitemgr forgets to upload an image to an item, to the gallery or another image field, the Default Image is used.
Make sure that your data columns match the sample .csv format provided. All fields must be on the file to make the import work correctly.
No, you cannot. Please base your import on the .csv sample file and do not delete any columns or the import will not work correctly.
Yes, you must use the format of the sample .csv. The data fields in the .csv that you upload must be in the same order as the sample template format. If the data is not in the correct format order your data will not be imported correctly.
If you want that each item has its own account, then the file has to have a different account username for each item. But if the items have the same account associated in the file, they will be imported to the same account. If you plan on uploading many items to the same account, we suggest doing a separate import for that sponsor account's items; use the import settings to import your items to a specific account.
Please be specific when you are spelling text for your location fields. For example, if you import two items for the State of New York, and on an item you write NewYork, and on the other one you write New York, both States will appear in the advanced search dropdowns into the directory and each would need to be updated with your meta information for each location.
Please be specific when you are spelling text for your category fields. If an item has the Arts & Entertainment category and the other one has Arts and Entertainment, both categories will appear in the item search dropdown fields, in the item browse by category area, and in the browse categories area on your item results pages.
Each item can have up to 5 categories imported. It will not import more than 5 categories.
Invalid Usernames/Passwords will not be imported. Username needs to be a valid e-mail between 4 and 80 characters with no spaces. The Password needs to have a min of 4 chars and max of 50 chars and it does not allow special chars. If you are trying to import multiple items to the same account in your .csv but are using different passwords for each line in your .csv the import for the additional items will have problems. You may find it easier to use the Import Settings to upload multiple items to the same account.
If the username is empty, the item will be imported without account. That means that the item is a no owner item. If you are importing listings, this is a quick and easy way to use the claim feature on many listings.
The import will add the new items to database without deleting existing items. The friendly url will be different for each items.NOTE: if you want the items to be updated instead of create a new one, you must check the option Update items alike in the Import Settings. The fields Listing ID (or Event ID) and Legacy ID in your CSV file must match with the values in your eDirectory, and the field Updated Date must be higher than the actual value in the system.
The item Title text in your import .csv is required. All other fields can be blank in your .csv file. Without providing item Title text in your .csv the import will not work.
To use the claim listing feature and do not assign a listing to a specific account, when doing the .csv import file leave the columns related to member account information blank.
To import listings for future customers to claim the listings on the front of the directory with sitemgr approval, please import the listing information and leave the .csv fields associated with the account empty.
You can roll back a finished or stopped import. All the accounts and items imported will be removed, but for security reason the categories and locations imported will remain in the directory.
NOTE: If your Item Scalability is turned on, a task will be scheduled to roll back your data.
To rollback imported data, click on the Rollback button on the Import Log section and follow the rollback process. Be sure to click on the Rollback button to do your rollback in the import log. Clicking the Delete icon will delete the log of the import. If a log is deleted you can not roll it back.
When using Delete Log button, data will not be removed from the directory. The specific log will only be removed from this page but the data will remain in the directory.
Listing Badges allow you to designate listings with certain images of your choice. For example, if you want to mark a listing as Editor's Choice, you can upload your own icon, and mark (on the listing form) the listings you want to display the icon. You can also give members access to select the badges themselves by checking the box. For example you may want a Pet Friendly option that members can use to add to their listings.
With the listing types you can modify the listings detail styles.
PS: This feature isn't available for themes Real Estate and Dining Guide.
At the site manager area you can see the general data (related to all sites) at the top menu. And the data for each specific site you can see at the left menu, by changing the site at the drop-down list.
You can charge an additional price per listing type, select the detail layout, rename common fields (example: Restaurant Name instead of Listing Title), add new fields (checkboxes, dropdowns, text fields, short description fields and long descritpion fields) and select which of them will be required.
PS: This feature isn't available for themes Real Estate and Dining Guide.
Only the diamond listing/event level has the video feature by default. You can enable video for others levels by going to Settings - Manage Levels.
To add video to an item, you need to insert the video embed code in the item form in the Video Snippet Code field.
There are some sites that host videos. Examples: http://www.youtube.com, http://video.google.com, http://video.yahoo.com, http://www.dailymotion.com
On the Import Settings section in the Settings area of the sitemgr, you can setup some import options:
1. The import file comes from export section: If you export a CSV file from the Export section and want to import this file, you must check this option.
2. Enable all imported items as Active: If you want all the imported items to be active you must check this option.
3. Update items alike: If you want to update an existing item in your eDirectory you must check this option.
4. Start import automatically after the CSV file has been uploaded: If you do not want to approve any import after upload the CSV file you must check this option.
5. Import all new categories as featured: If you want all the imported categories to be featured you must check this option.
6. Default Level for imported items without level: If the file has items without an assigned level, you must define which level they will be imported into.
7. Import items to the same account: If you want all items to be imported to the same account you must choose the account.
Go to the Email Notifications section and click on the active icon of the email you want to disable.

After you are logged in, click on 'Manage account' link, you will see the Current Password field, type your current password in this field and your new password on the fields Password and Retype Password, then hit the submit button.
No, you cannot. Only your password and contact information can be updated.
Yes, you can. If your item is active you can change it to suspended and vice versa. You cannot change the pending status of any item.
Yes, you can. After your item is expired you can choose the level (if it is free you can change the level anytime) and pay for it.

Yes. In order to add any item, including Free items, to the directory you must have an account.

If you attempt to access your account and type in an incorrect password 5 times the account will lock for 1 hour. This is for security reasons.
If you don't already have a Facebook App ID and App Secret for your site, create an application with the Facebook Developer application. Note: Even if you have created an application and received an App Secret, you should review steps 4 through 7 and make sure your application settings are appropriate.
1. Go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps and click in + Create New App to create a new application.
2. Enter a name for your application in the App Display Name field.
3. Agree to the Facebook Platform Policies, then click Continue.
4. Enter the Security Check words, then click Submit.
5. On the Settings tab > Basic, take note of the App ID and App Secret, you'll need this shortly.
6. Still on the Settings tab, click on Website and set Site URL to the top-level directory of the site which will be implementing Facebook Connect (this is usually your domain, e.g. http://www.example.com , but could also be a subdirectory). If your site is going to implement Facebook Connect across a number of subdomains of your site (for example, http://foo.example.com and bar.example.com), you need to enter a App Domain (which would be example.com in this case).
7. You can include a logo that appears on the Facebook Connect dialog. On the Settings tab > Basic, click Edit on the image next your App Name and browse to choose an image file. Your logo must be in JPG, GIF, or PNG format. If the image is larger than 75x75 pixels, it will be resized and converted, then click Save Changes.

A favicon (short for favorites icon) is a file containing one small icon, most commonly 16×16 pixels, associated with a particular Web site. Browsers that provide favicon support typically display a page's favicon in the browser's address bar and next to the page's name in a list of bookmarks. Also, the ones that support a tabbed document interface typically show a page's favicon next to the page's title on the tab. By using a favicon your users can identify your directory web site in a list of others web sites.
These are the logo sizes for each theme (width x height): Default: 300px x 140px.Real Estate: 505px x 53px.Dining Guide: 160px x 40px.
In banner level cases, all items already registered of this level will keep showing on the front of the directory until their expiration. Otherwise these items will be treated as the 'default level', however, the search order priority and the featured area priviliges will be the same as the disabled level.

Sheriff's Office will wait to release autopsy results in Oneida Lake boating accident
SYLVAN BEACH, N.Y. (WKTV) - Autopsy results are in for the men killed in a boating accident on Oneida Lake last Thursday night, but the Oneida County Sheriff's Office is waiting until next week to release new information.
Lieutenant James McCarthy says once the family is notified, the results will be made public.
It was more than a week ago that the boat crashed into Buoy 113 on Oneida Lake.
The victims were 66-year-old Anthony Aceto, and two sons, 41-year-old Stephen Aceto of Tampa, Fla., and 33-year-old Timothy Aceto, were killed. A third son, 39-year-old Anthony Aceto, cracked his shoulder and ribs but survived. The men were on the lake partly to celebrate Stephen Aceto's upcoming engagement to his girlfriend.
The sheriff's office says the men were not wearing life jackets at the time of the crash. Family members told the Associated Press that fireworks caused a distraction to the boaters, causing the accident.
A salvage crew recovered the 20-foot open-bow powerboat last Saturday and pulled the wreckage to shore.

The reason people are still complaining are because these champions and skins have all been on sale before. I have to agree, it's been a while since we've seen any of the newer skins or champs on sale.

The best offence is sometimes a good defence and that's exactly what turned the tide for the Sea to Sky Sirens roller derby team on Saturday, May 24, against the Red Tide Warning from the Sunshine Coast.
Trailing 131-124 to the Coast girls with eight minutes to go, a combination of great blocking, timely defence and strong jamming saw a 23-point jam for the Sirens and they cruised that momentum to a 189-135 win.
"That was the turning point," said Kristi "Roxie Shocker" Anderson, who was the jammer on the 23-point score. "We recycled their jammer over and over and Honey just did an amazing job of blocking on that jam."
The first half saw the Sirens squeak out a 76-75 lead, but it was close, with the Warning opening up a 19-point lead with five minutes remaining, only to have the Sirens storm back.
Sirens team captain Genevieve "Honey Badger" Medrano made her return to the floor at Brennan Park and said she was proud of the way the Sirens played.
MVPs of the game were Ivonna Masterskate for the Warning and Mysty Mischief (jammer) and Cookie Don't Crumble (blocker).

Pep Guardiola said goodbye to La Liga with a 2-2 draw at Real Betis in his last game on the Barcelona bench.
Sergio Busquets put La Blaugrana ahead on nine minutes, getting free of his marker to head Xavi Hernandez' corner past goalkeeper Casto as Barca dominated the opening period. Messi, Xavi and Adriano all went close, but the visitors were dealt a blow eight minutes after the break when Dani Alves was sent off for a second yellow card following a brutal challenge on Jefferson Montero.
The one-man advantage galvanised Los Beticos and the impressive Ruben Castro scored twice in three minutes midway through the half, firstly lobbing Victor Valdes after Roque Santa Cruz had headed on then picking up Benat's through-ball to calmly slot past the Barca keeper.
However, two minutes into stoppage time Malian midfielder Seydou Keita rescued a point for Barca's 10 men, steering a downward header past Casto from Martin Montoya's cross for the equaliser.
Guardiola's final game in charge will be the Copa del Rey final against Athletic Bilbao on May 25.
In the other fixture of the evening another boss also said his farewell, Unai Emery signing off his four-year spell at Valencia with a 1-0 defeat to Real Sociedad. Antoine Griezmann's 63rd minute goal proved enough to take the points at Anoeta in an uneventful match where both sides had little to play for.

Cleared Death Row inmate sought up to $18M; jury awards $80,000
BY KIM JANSSEN Federal Courts Reporter May 1, 2014 11:54AM
Nathson Fields, a former Death Row inmate wants an investigation after a jury awarded him only $80,000. He spent 18 years in prison before being cleared of a double murder. | Rummana Hussain/Sun-Times
Updated: June 3, 2014 6:24AM
A federal jury on Thursday morning awarded just $80,000 to a wrongfully convicted former Death Row resident who spent 18 years behind bars after a Chicago cop withheld or fabricated evidence against him.
Former El Rukn gang member Nathson Fields, who had asked for up to $18 million, called the award a "travesty" and called on U.S. Attorney Zach Fardon to investigate.
But the former CPD sergeant found liable earlier this week for withholding or fabricating evidence hailed the jury's decision, saying the last month of his life had been "more stress than running in an alley getting shot at."
A relieved David O'Callaghan said he the jury's small award to Fields — which will be paid by Chicago taxpayers — proved he always ran clean investigations.
Convicted in 1986 of a double murder, Fields, now 60, spent 18 years behind bars, 12 of them on Death Row, before he was finally cleared at a retrial in 2009.
But it wasn't until after he was cleared that a long-missing police file connected to his case was "discovered," buried in an old filing cabinet in the basement of a South Side police station. Police and prosecutors for years denied the file existed, but Fields' lawyers claimed it was deliberately hidden because it contained evidence that might have cleared Fields far sooner.
Chicago Police for decades had a policy of hiding detectives' "street files" of notes from defendants, Fields' attorneys claimed. Fields' "street file" was found in a filing cabinet with unsolved cases dating back as far as 1944, they said.
Though jurors earlier this week rejected Fields' claims against the city, two other cops and a prosecutor, they found that O'Callaghan did violate Fields' right to due process by withholding or fabricating evidence.
Trial testimony suggested that police backdated statements and may have doctored lineups in an attempt to convict Fields.
Fields' lawyers did not ask jurors for a specific amount, but hinted that $1 million for every year Fields spent behind bars was an appropriate amount.
Lawyers for the city argued Fields deserved nothing, maintaining that he was guilty of the double murder, despite his overturned conviction.
Speaking outside court Thursday, Fields said he was happy that jurors found O'Callaghan liable, but said he was saddened by the award of damages that amount to less than $5,000 for every year he spent behind bars.
He noted that there were no fellow African-Americans on his jury, and urged federal prosecutors to seize 20 filing cabinets of "street files" from the basement where his long lost file was found. If uncovered, street files from other cases will exonerate other wrongfully convicted prisoners, he said.
And his sister Ruth Sandifer said O'Callaghan should have been charged with attempted murder, because "he framed my brother to send him to Death Row."

The Sri Sri Centre for Media Studies (SSCMS) was founded in 2001 under the vision and guidance of His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Sankar, the founder of Art of Living (www.artofliving.org). The institution is dedicated to catalysing change in the media landscape. Located in the heart of the garden city of Bangalore SSCMS aims to train and transform students into talented media professionals, capable of positive social transformation. The dynamic, ever evolving and often stressful media industry demands professionals with finely honed skills and capabilities – communication skills that cut across media vehicles, logical thinking, a spirit of inquiry, fairness and most importantly belief in oneself to stand up for fairness and justice.
SSCMS graduates work in various prestigious newsrooms such as the Los Angeles Times, Times of India, Deccan Herald, The Hindu, The New Indian Express, The Vijay Times, Mathrubhoomi, NDTV, CNN IBN, DNA, The Hindustan Times, Doordarshan, Aaj Tak, ETV and scores of private sector firms and government offices as information officials. The institute's comprehensive curriculum is benchmarked against the leading journalism schools in the world. Recognizing the synergies and the intermigration of professionals across the industry the institute provides an integrated course across Print, Broadcast & New Media as a whole. This gives SSCMS graduates more flexibility as well as multi-disciplinary skills in securing career and further promotion opportunities in the industry.
The one year training combines theory, hands on practical learning as well as industry internships. Students work under severe deadline pressures and on the job conditions. SSCMS has a unique model wherein all of the faculty are best in class working professionals from the industry and henceforth their experience and mentorship have current and practical relevance to the students. The location of the institute being at the city centre is also a significant advantage to the students for field work, assignments, internships and industry networking.

The emergence of MRSA (Staphylococcus aureus), dubbed a 'superbug' due to its resistance to many antibiotic drugs, has resulted in the glycopeptide antibiotic Vancomycin being commonly prescribed for patients in hospital.
However, MRSA's resistance to drugs has led to concerns of a 'creeping minimum' in the concentration of the dosage required to treat infection. In adults, nomograms are used to calculate the correct dosage of Vancomycin based on a patient's weight and creatinine levels.
While these adult nomograms are widely thought to be suitable for teenagers, pharmacological differences between teens and young adults remain poorly understood.
New research, published in the Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, explores the accuracy of adult nomograms in children over ten. The results of 120 patients from a children's' hospital in Vanderbilt, Nashville, revealed that Vancomycin nomograms from adults were not accurate in predicting appropriate dosing levels in older children.
"Based on the variability of pharmacokinetic parameters and drug clearance, the two Vancomycin nomograms developed to predict therapeutic Vancomycin concentrations in healthy adults did not accurately estimate dosage regimens in older children regardless of weight or age, and therefore should not be used to aid empiric dosing," said Dr. Jessica Gillon. "Further prospective studies are warranted for teens between 10 and 18 years of age to determine the most appropriate Vancomycin dosing to maximize drug efficacy and reduce the risk of Vancomycin induced renal toxicity."

You care deeply about people and populations. And you want to use your vision, compassion, and intelligence to improve their lives. The 3+1 Public Policy Program will uniquely position you to make a difference — at local, national, and global levels.
Combining a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a Master of Arts in Public Policy, this highly interdisciplinary program is built on the belief that the political process can bring about social change.
Coursework in the first three years draws on Simmons's vigorous liberal arts curriculum to provide an excellent foundation in the social sciences: political science, economics, and sociology. Master's level coursework in public policy begins by the end of the third year and culminates in an intense and practical Capstone Project in Public Policy.
Using Boston's vibrant legislative, nonprofit, and advocacy resources as its classroom, the Capstone will blend the outstanding internships that distinguish Simmons with the opportunity to address real policy issues in a substantial written work.
You'll graduate with a command of public policy analysis and a deep understanding of the different contexts in which public policy is developed and implemented. You'll head out prepared to affect public good.
"The 3+1 Program is interdisciplinary, rigorous, and exciting. It's for students who want to understand the intersection between the private world of problems and the public world of politics — and to come up with solutions. The world needs more women in politics and policy,and Simmons is the place to make it happen."
- Associate Professor of Political Science and Associate Dean, Leanne Doherty, Ph.D., Coordinator of the 3+1 Public Policy Program at the Simmons College of Arts and Sciences
The 3+1 Public Policy Program is designed for highly motivated students who are interested in running for public office, working in legislative offices on legislative policy, becoming involved in advocacy or nonprofit work, or pursuing a Ph.D. or law degree. You should enjoy analyzing complex problems and have strong interest in political science, economics, or sociology.
The career outlook for graduates with advanced degrees in public policy is bright. According to the 2010-11 Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Handbook, employment growth within the federal government is projected to grow much faster than average. The MPP degree qualifies you to work in many different capacities within government, as well as the nonprofit and private sectors.
There are many rewarding routes you can take with this degree combination. Some possibilities include:
You will complete the 128 credits required for a B.A., including the courses required for your elected major, in your first three years. The Master in Public Policy degree requires 36 credits (12 courses).
Note: this chart represents a sample 3+1 curriculum. Course scheduling is subject to change, and the summer course load can be flexible. We will work with you individually to determine the best course sequence for your needs.

The Pirates! Band of Misfits -
Hugh Grant, starring in his first animated role, is the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain a boundlessly enthusiastic, if somewhat less-than-successful, terror of the High Seas. With a rag-tag crew at his side (Martin Freeman, Brendan Gleeson, Russell Tovey, and Ashley Jensen), and seemingly blind to the impossible odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to beat his bitter rivals Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek) to the much coveted Pirate Of The Year Award.
It's a quest that takes our heroes from the shores of exotic Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London. Along the way they battle a diabolical queen (Imelda Staunton) and team up with a haplessly smitten young scientist (David Tennant), but never lose sight of what a pirate loves best: adventure!

Global Solidarity Network
The CRS Global Solidarity Network (GSN) study e-broad program is an online learning community and curricular resource that offers students and faculty in the United States a deeper understanding of the challenges the world's most vulnerable face, as well as their strength and resilience. It provides insight into the multi-faceted nature of humanitarian relief and development work as well as the principles that inform Catholic Relief Services and its partners.
Fall 2014 Sessions: Food Security
What would it take to end world hunger? In the spirit of the 2014 Caritas Internationalis One Human Family, Food for All campaign, the Fall 2014 GSN will reflect on this question by drawing on CRS' deep experience in agriculture, livelihoods, and food assistance, along with the agency's rich history of advocating for the world's most vulnerable.
Session I: Unpacking Food Security—September 22-October 3, 2014
The course has ended, but please check the link for the resources.
Session II: Climate Change and Food Security in the World's Most Vulnerable Regions—November 3-14, 2014
It is projected that, by 2050, the world's population will grow to 9 billion and agricultural production will need to increase by 70% to sustain the world's food needs. (Source: FAO, 2009) In the world's most vulnerable regions, this rising demand for food production will take place in an environment with more severe weather events, more lost production due to climate change, and increased stress on limited natural resources. This session will examine the relationship between food security and global climate change and will introduce students to the techniques and policy activities CRS is undertaking to become more climate-smart. One example is the groundbreaking Africa Climate-Smart Agriculture Alliance, of which CRS is a founding partner, which aims to contribute to the African Union's goal of helping 25 million farmers become food secure by 2025. Finally, the session will ask participants to reflect on our role in mitigating the impacts of global climate change on food security.
Spring 2015 Sessions: Technology and Justice: How Information Technology is Changing International Development
Information technology is an important tool in our lives now; this is true for international development too. These GSN sessions will explore the way information technology is revolutionizing international relief and development work, an area in which Catholic Relief Services is a recognized leader. Which sectors are utilizing this ICT4D (Information and Communication Technologies for Development) and which innovations are vulnerable populations benefiting from the most? How does CRS plan and execute projects with justice in mind, particularly when creating partnerships across lines of business, government, and other non-government organizations?
Session I: ICT4D–Healthier Communities–February 9-20, 2015
How is information technology transforming fields like healthcare, education, and emergency preparedness?
Session II: ICT4D–Better Business–March 16-27, 2015
How can technology and new financial models help NGOs to co-invest in smarter solutions?

Project Description:
The Coeur d'Alene Chamber of Commerce was over 7 years in the making. Contractors Northwest, Inc. was selected by the Chamber of Commerce for the project in 2000. The Chamber was planning on an EDA Grant to assist in paying for the project but that fell apart after the events of 9/11. Immediately thereafter, CNI began what turned into a multi-year Value Engineering exercise involving several design iterations. Through a combination of CNI's innovations, hard work, in kind donations and fund raising efforts, the Coeur d'Alene Chamber project broke ground in July of 2006, and was completed on time in the fall of 2007.

As you have read in our previous blogpost, there was uncertainty about the way some Ads gathered votes. We reported that we are looking into the whole thing and we have come up with the result; all the votes gathered in this competition are gathered in a legal way.
This is why the 8 Ads that are currently on top will also participate in winning the community prizes. Because it would be very unfair to first get them out and than put them back in, we have come to an agreement in this situation in which the first 16 Ads will be judged.
All 16 Ads will compete for the community prizes on the same level so chances are the same for everyone.
Bear with us in this situation, we are doing our very best to make sure everybody stays satisfied. We believe this is the best option there is regarding this situation and in the future we will take a second look at the voting system.
We count on your understanding and creativity!

Canon U.S.A. "Widens" Its Offerings And "Zooms In" On Creative Optics With The Introduction Of Two New Professional Lenses
Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced two new additions to the Company's EF lens family, the new EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM and EF 35mm f/2 IS USM lenses. Each of these two lenses features unique optical attributes for a variety of situations. The new EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM has macro shooting capabilities at the telephoto end and the EF 35mm f/2 IS USM adds Canon's proprietary Image Stabilization (IS) to this popular prime lens focal length.
"The lens is the window to creativity, providing the unique perspective and vantage that allows photographers to turn a scene into art. It is our pleasure to introduce two lenses that will enable a wide range of photographers in diverse disciplines to explore their creativity through these new options," said Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Imaging Technologies & Communications Group, Canon U.S.A.
Canon EF 24–70mm f/4L IS USM Lens
Featuring dynamic L-series optical performance in a compact, lightweight and durable design, the new EF 24–70mm f/4L IS USM lens is well suited for all levels of advanced photography on the go. The ideal companion to Canon's full-frame Digital SLR cameras such as the EOS 6D, the lens features a constant maximum aperture of f/4 throughout the entire zoom range with 15 lens elements in 12 groups including two aspherical and two UD lens elements and a 9-blade circular aperture diaphragm. The EF 24–70mm f/4L IS USM lens delivers gorgeous images with excellent detail at all focal lengths and includes a macro feature at the telephoto end with a 0.2m/7.9-inch minimum focusing distance and Canon's Hybrid IS system (with up to four stops of stabilization). The macro feature can be engaged through a switch on the lens barrel. In addition, the lens features inner focusing and a ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) for quiet, fast autofocus, and has full-time mechanical manual focus that's enabled even during AF operation. Compact at only 93mm in length, with excellent dust and water resistance, the EF 24–70mm f/4L IS USM lens has a fluorine coating on the front and rear elements for easy maintenance and cleaning.

I'm 5'7" and 125 lbs. I ordered the medium and it was huge. I definitely need a small. Otherwise, it looks well-made with nice details.. Great, sharp looking suit. Just make sure to order smaller than you think.
They were out of smalls so I ended up getting the Roxy Rizzo black one-piece suit in a small. It's comfy and it looks hot. Keeps me cozy on the slopes when paired with a base layer of Hot Chilis.

Mechanical staff greet customers, deliver dishes to tables and even stir-fry meat and vegetables at the eatery in Kunshan, which opened last week.
"My daughter asked me to invent a robot because she doesn't like doing housework," the restaurant's founder Song Yugang says.
Two robots are stationed by the door to cheerfully greet customers, while four short but humanoid machines carry trays of food to the tables.
In the kitchen, two large blue robots with glowing red eyes specialise in frying, while another is dedicated to making dumplings.
Song told the local Modern Times newspaper that each robot costs about 40,000 yuan ($A7030) — roughly equal to the annual salary of a human employee.
"The robots can understand 40 everyday sentences. They can't get sick or ask for vacation. After charging up for two hours they can work for five hours," he added.
The restaurant, in the eastern province of Jiangsu, follows in the tracks of another robotic eatery that opened in the north-eastern city of Harbin in 2012.
Rising labour costs in China have encouraged manufacturers to turn to automation, and the country last year surpassed Japan to become the world's biggest consumer of industrial robots.
The cooking robots — which have a fixed repertoire — exhibit limited artificial intelligence, and are loaded with ingredients by human staff, who also help to make some dishes.
But customers at the restaurant who tucked into fried tomatoes with egg, soup, and rice were thrilled with the experience.
"My children are really excited by the robots," said Yang Limei, a mother of three.
The round-headed waiter robots can only move along fixed paths, and politely ask customers to move out of their way whenever their routes are blocked.
"I've never seen a robot serving food before," said Yuan Yuan, 9. "I'm really surprised."

Hackett Jacket
Selected the 24 January 2011 by Romano as "the garagerocker"
Check what I've found from Yoox! This jacket from Hacket looks so nice. I can't explain what makes me so enthusiastic about it. I guess those contrasting buttons has something to do with it, and so the color has. A casual look would be appropiate for it : chinos, preppy accessories and lightblue shirt. So fresh for this upcomming season as for the current one.

Will the Singularity Improve the Legal System? Peter Thiel Seems to Think So
Here's a Friday afternoon head-scratcher: What will legal systems look like in 1,000 years? No, really. If our arbiters of right and wrong become more highly automated, will we be smoothing over the imperfections of Lady Justice, or placing our respective fates in the hands of heartless machines.
