[Full Xperia Play Review] Officially announced by Sony Ericsson at MWC 2011, the Xperia Play is the first ever PlayStation certified smartphone. Inside the Xperia play is a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and 1GB of ROM. It features a four-inch color transflective TFT display with a 480x854 FWVGA resolution and a five-megapixel camera with LED flash and autofocus. The Xperia Play is running Android 2.3 Gingerbread with Sony Ericsson's Timescape UI. Making the Xperia Play unique is its landscape style slideout gaming controls. Read on for the latest Xperia Play news, reviews and videos:

Yesterday, we got tipped-off that Verizon would start sales of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play in the US on May 26. Today, the carrier has issued a statement confirming that leak, as well as announcing that pre-orders for the gaming-centric Android will start on May 19. Gamers will find their Verizon Xperia Plays come loaded with a nice selection of titles to get them started, including Madden NFL 11, The Sims 3, and the original PlayStation version of Crash Bandicoot. Sony Ericsson has said that over sixty Play-enhanced titles - those taking advantage of its control scheme - will be ...

Earlier this month, we saw a leaked lineup of release date for upcoming Androids on Verizon. Among the included smartphone models, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play (the "PlayStation phone") was tagged for a May 26 debut. So far, dates from that leak that have already passed turned out to be incorrect, so we were understandably beginning to doubt the accuracy of this Xperia Play rumor. Now it looks like we can confirm that planned release date, thanks to a tipster who sent us this internal Verizon retail screenshot, again naming May 26 as the launch date for the Xperia Play. With the US launch ...

We all know that Sony Ericsson's Xperia Play is being billed as a revolution for Android gaming, finally moving controls away from the touchscreen to a pretty close approximation of a console controller. The advertising campaign behind the smartphone would have you believe that these new controls are key to delivering the kind of experience that would draw gamers away from the likes of the DS and PSP and really solidify smartphones as the future of mobile gaming. Looking at some of the sales figures for Play-exclusive titles, though, it seems like the smartphone may not be living up to ...

After showing us its new bootloader unlocking service, we were left impressed by Sony Ericsson's support of the developer community. Now it is supplementing the bootloader unlock by releasing a guide to creating a custom kernel, an ability exposed by the unlocked bootloader. Once again there are clear warnings present - bootloader unlocking may void warranty, and is not revertible to a locked/original state. Sony Ericsson's guide walks the budding developer through downloading all necessary software and installing it to configure the development environment. Configuration examples are ...

May 12 is the day to watch for and circle in your Calendar if the information acquired by Droid-life is accurate. Apparently, Motorola Droid X^2, LG Revolution and HTC Trophy will all see the light of day next Tuesday while you'll have to wait for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play some three more weeks. Both the HTC Trophy and the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play have been listed online at Verizon and the catalog now also features the LG Revolution. All of these display a "coming soon" tag. The Motorola Droid X Squared is yet to appear online. So here are the possible dates: May 12 for Motorola Droid ...

Following the source link below you'll get to a Verizon page with smartphones where you can click on the HTC Trophy to find out that it's coming soon. Same is valid for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play. If after reading that Verizon employees are allegedly getting special Windows Phone 7 and HTC Trophy training you still have your doubts -- legitimately -- then this might be half way to confirmation as the CDMA Trophy was just listed on Big Red's website. If you're more of an Android person who likes to play then the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is the smartphone for you. How soon is coming ...

Some people say that good things come in threes, and that certainly seems to be the case here, with news arriving of Sony Ericsson's Xperia Arc, Play, and Neo successfully being rooted. You're going to need your bootloader unlock code for the process, which you can now retrieve for qualifying phones using Sony Ericsson's website tool (you'll need a phone that's not SIM-locked to a carrier, and be willing to relinquish warranty coverage as a result of your tinkering). Once you've got the bootloader open, you can re-flash your Xperia with one of the specially-prepared images, tailored for ...
by GabePeters | April 13, 2011 5:22 PM
Late last month Sony Ericsson made an announcement that it would be opening up it's bootloaders on the current lineup of Xperia smartphones. The day has arrived, and the bootloader unlocking site is now live. Bootloader unlocking is provided for Sony Ericsson Android smartphones from 2011 onwards, while previously released models are not (yet?) supported. The current compatibility list requires a SIM-unlocked smartphone and includes the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY, Xperia Arc, Xperia Pro, and Xperia Neo. The unlock comes with a bevy of warnings that are somewhat vague such as "Certain ...

A little earlier today we were musing over the reliability of the Verizon roadmap we saw leak last week, noting how the Samsung Droid Charge should have been out yesterday, were it accurate. As if right on cue, a new document has leaked, showing revised dates for the Charge, as well as the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play and the HTC Incredible 2. The new Charge date makes sense, moving back a week from yesterday to April 14. As accessories often pop up just in advance of a smartphone's retail sales, the appearance of Charge gear today fits with this change-of-schedule. What's happened with the ...

System Dump of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is available to download and tamper with if you are a developer or a ROM chef -- or just a curious user -- with all the goodies that the gaming Android smartphone has to offer. The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, dubbed Zeus, was launched at this year's MWC and it ships with a couple of pre-installed games, depending on the region you bought your smartphone in. Additionally, Sony Ericsson will offer 60+ games to download for all you Android-thumb donors getting your game on. Follow the source link to download and take a peek inside the system dump. ...
by Anton D. Nagy | April 5, 2011 6:35 AM
After the strange to say the least Sony Ericsson Xperia Play Donor Ad and the Kristen Schaal series of commercials, the manufacturer came out with a great ad featuring the gaming capabilities of the Zeus. So what happens when you have an Xperia Play and you are bored waiting for the bus? You get to play and real-life remote control a muscle car. Of course, this is all due to the fact that Sony Ericsson wants to emphasize on real-life gaming experience. And, naturally, it all happens (thankfully) only in the ad. Check it out below!

Sony Ericsson has got quite a remarkable line-up this year with its Android smartphones, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, Xperia Arc, Xperia Neo and Xperia Pro. The manufacturer has published a cornucopia of training and support videos for the Play, Arc and Neo, which are basically video tutorials for your learning and viewing pleasure. They give a walkthrough of the features as well as demonstrate how to use the smartphones and some of their specific and unique features. Check the out below! Source: YouTube Via: Xperia Blog (1),(2)

The CDMA version of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play we recently reviewed has just passed FCC on its way to Verizon and should get there, according to the leaked roadmap, in approximately two weeks, that is April 14 to be more specific, if nothing changes. Nothing really out of the ordinary here with the still "Zeus" codenamed smartphone. The bands are your typical CDMA 824MHz - 849MHz and 1850MHz 1910MHz. The FCC page also has a link for the smartphone's manual and there are a couple of internal photos of the handset which FCC tore down where you can notice the SIM slot still on the ...
by Anton D. Nagy | April 1, 2011 6:54 AM
We've seen the pros and cons of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play but those slide-out gaming controls aren' worth much if there is no content to take advantage of them. Well, the manufacturer seems to take care of that as Sony Ericsson announced that the smartphone will be launched with more than 60 games. As the world's first PlayStation certified smartphone, the Xperia Play will be able to play Playstation titles. The device is already available in several regions with more being added in the next couple of weeks with more than 60 games from software giants like Sony Computer Entertainment, ...
by Anton D. Nagy | March 30, 2011 11:02 AM
Looks like Verizon's future short term roadmap has been leaked and it contains orientative dates, subject to change, of the upcoming devices the carrier has in store for April and May. According to the table attached, April 7 is the date to watch for Samsung's 4G LTE device, called the Droid Charge, with its 4.3-inch display and4G LTE compatibility. Same day the Casio Commando (image) should hit too, a rugged Android device a la Motorola Defy. A week after, on April 14, it's time for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play which we knew to expect on the carrier. April 15 looks to be the date for the ...

More than 11 years after the September 11th terror attacks the remains of a city firefighter have been identified.
The city Medical Examiner's office says the remains of Lieutenant Jeffrey Walz, 37, were collected before May 2002 but retested and confirmed only recently.
He was killed when the World Trade Center's north tower collapsed.
Walz, who had been assigned to Ladder 9 in the East Village, was one of 343 members of the fire department killed in the attacks.
The number of identified victims now stands at 1,637.

Son who shot dad gets 20-year prison term
The Ellis County Press
WAXAHACHIE – After sitting in Ellis County jail more than three years, a Ferris man accused of killing his father will now be heading to prison for 20 years as part of a plea bargain offered by prosecutors.
"Yes, we did have pretrial [Monday, Feb. 8]," said Vicki McCall, the mother of Billy Hale, who his mom said shot her husband out of self-defense.
"They did not do a plea like I thought was going to happen. Billy [told] me that he will accept a plea just to get out of being in the county jail for three years."
Hales court-appointed lawyer, former Ellis County/District Attorney Mary Lou Shipley, offered the prosecutions attempt at a plea bargain, and he originally accepted, according to McCall.
In describing her son, McCall said Hale has mental illness and has repeatedly sent letters and phone calls to Sheriff Johnny Brown and Shipley informing them of her sons situation and medication needs.
Hale, who was hit with a stick by his father, Richard Hathcock, before shooting him, took a plea that will put him in prison for 20 years; Hale also waived his right to appeal.
Another charge of harassment of a public servant was also issued against Hale for pouring a cup of urine on a jail nurse, McCall said.
McCall questioned why the self-defense argument was not taken by Shipley.
"I have pictures of the stick in my house and the officer with gloves on picking up the stick and taking with him the night I got my house back," McCall stated in a series of e-mails to WFAA Channel 8 reporter Brett Shipp. "Mary Lou has this information too. The DNA on the stick is that of Billy s blood. The chief of the Ferris [Fire Department] is Richards sisters husband. Richards brother in-law whom he was in my house the whole time the investigation was going on. This would totally be a conflict of interest and a botched investigation."

Directory: Characters → The Succubus
editThe Succubus
The Succubus (サキュバス, Sakyubasu) was a demon who had adopted a female form in order to seduce men so as to absorb their soul. She currently resides in the first chapter ("Lust") of the Book of Eibon, after an unsuccessful confrontation with Noah resulted in both her permanent imprisonment and addition to his collection. It attempted to seduce the members of Spartoi but was defeated by Blair.
In a further attempt to attract men in addition to her rampantly seductive appearance, the Succubus conducts her movements in the most perverted way to expertly accentuate the most bewitching and attractive aspects of her female form. She is extremely erotic and flirtatious, but in fact, it is shown that she too has a strong lust for good-looking members of the opposite sex, which can be used as her weakness.
Befitting her need to entice men in order to fulfill her respective desires and vice, this particular demon has assumed an alluring form that she believes best caters to a typical man's wants: A young and voluptuous female with an ample bust. Her softened facial features are contrasted by the stark addition of a vertical line descending from both of her eyes (Which are shown with heart shaped pupils); these lines are connected by a horizontal line that runs over the bridge of her nose, together creating an "H"-shaped marking.
The rest of her face is concealed beneath a layered and spiky hood, featuring two prominent curved horns (similar to a ram's) protruding from the sides. Further placing emphasis on her seductive qualities, the Succubus wears the bare minimum of clothing; consisting simply of skintight gloves and stockings decorated with "H"-shaped accents at their openings and a revealing apron that exposes the majority of her back, except for where a few small strands keep it attached to her body. This wardrobe choice's open back also prominently displays a...certain aspect of her appearance. A small, slightly coiled devil-like tail extends from just below the small of her back.
Main article: Noah Due to a series of circumstances that occurred prior to her first appearance, the Succubus came to reside permanently within the first chapter ("Lust") of the Book of Eibon, after Noah resolved to add her to his collection. Although unconfirmed, it is highly likely that this left antagonistic feelings between the pair.
Main article: Blair Although very brief, the Succubus possessed profound feelings for Blair. As Blair's gender was swapped, she took on the form of a highly handsome man, which the Succubus immediately fell in love with, as she stopped attempting to seduce the members of Spartoi, blushed (with her heart-shaped pupils growing wide) and rushed towards Blair. However, this relationship was short-lived as Blair only used her looks as a distraction in order to send the Succubus flying with her Halloween Cannon.
Part in the Story
When the consequences of entering the first chapter of the Book of Eibon afflict various members of the Spartoi group sent to rescue Death the Kid (in order to serve him like a slave) with a sudden gender reversal, a strange yet shapely female leg emerges from one of the surrounding columns of fabric that inhabit this realm. From the narration provided by the Index, it is revealed that this appendage belongs to the Succubus, whose full form elicits a small trail of blood from the nose of the recently turned male Maka Albarn, who comically admits that she now knows how it feels to be a man. Her partner, Soul, who is not affected by the Succubus since he is now female, argues with her, asking 'what's so great about that thing?' resulting in an amusing switching of roles between the partners, as it is often Soul who breaks into a nosebleed and Maka that argues with him.
The Succubus continues to flirt with the 'male' members of Spartoi (who were originally female). Although Tsubaki manages to keep her feelings under control, Liz and Patti begin to notice the Succubus's attractiveness and Maka still cannot stop her nosebleed (which Soul doesn't hesitate to chastise). Kirikou, dismayed by his friends' actions (he himself is not affected since he is now female) turns to Blair. Since Blair is in her cat form, she looks no more different than she usually is, and Kirikou asks her why she is the only one who hasn't switched genders and wonders why she isn't affected by the Succubus. Blair replies that she is a seducer, not someone who gets seduced and that even as a tom (a male cat) that fact still remains true. She then smirks and states that in this erotic dimension, she should be a 'mindblowingly sexy devil.' She then goes on to transform into her human form. True to her word, she is an incredibly attractive young man. The Succubus immediately falls head-over-heels over Blair and rushes to her side. Blair compliments the Succubus's eyes, before telling her that she is 'sucked in.' She then uses her Halloween Cannon to blast the Succubus far away into the distance, before coolly remarking that they should be getting on to the next chapter.
- The character of the Succubus is in fact derived from the demons of the same name that often appear within actual medieval folklores, where these succubi conduct themselves in a similar manner to that envisioned by Ōkubo.
- The numerous "H"s on the Succubus's person are most likely a reference to the Japanese word ecchi, denoting sexually explicit material or behavior; "ecchi" is a spelling-out of the Japanese pronunciation of the letter H, and could have originated as a polite codeword for hentai in the 1960's.
- There is a small clothing fetish niche called hadaka apron, notably popular in Japan. Consisting of an individual -- Usually a woman -- wearing only an apron over their nude body or with minimal clothing, it is extremely popular on Japanese CG artwork websites and is accepted as the sign for newlyweds.

IRA W. BRAGG, son of Ira Bragg, who came from Royalston, Mass., was born July 28, 1833. Fitted for college at Meriden and studied medicine with Dr. Perkins, of Marlow, N. H. He attended lectures at Dartmouth and Harvard Colleges, and graduated at the latter institution in 1859. After spending a year in the Marine Hospital at Chelsea, he went to Europe and passed several months in the hospitals of Liverpool and London, endeavoring to still further qualify himself for his profession. Upon his return, after practicing a year at Chelsea, Mass., he was appointed Assistant Surgeon in the Navy ; was on board the Minnesota at the time of its fearful engagement with the Merrimac, when the Cumberland went down, and the famous Monitor made its first appearance. He was transferred to the San Jacinto, the flag ship of the East Gulf Blockading Squadron, and was on board her during her pursuit of the Alabama among the West Indies and at South America. He was ordered to the West Gulf Blockading Squadron, and from thence to the Naval Hospital at New Orleans, where, on the twenty-first of October, 1864, worn down by excessive labor and anxiety for the sick, he fell a victim to the yellow fever. In few men were more happily combined rare merit and. graceful modesty.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that going to university isn't one of the greatest experiences of all time. It's new, it's life changing, and it's stomach butterfly exciting. It's just that... sometimes it's really not.
We're not interested in short-term gains - we have a whole lifetime ahead of us and we want decisions that deal with the long term. We want something new, and we want alternatives in our political parties that go deeper than the colour of the rosette they wear.
No one cares about your new clicky pen or the three friends you're currently hanging out with. Taking a selfie with it/them and hashtagging the damn photo doesn't make it more interesting. Can we just go back to appreciating proper group photos where you can actually see everyone's faces?
Whether you have a son or daughter just finishing their summer exams or you're a high-tech manufacturer hoping to add to your pool of skilled technicians, we all want young people to have the opportunity to fulfil their potential - not just in work but in life. But the education system must do more to prepare them for life outside the school gates - or we risk wasting our greatest asset.
Adolescents need to be educated about depression so that if they find themselves experiencing the symptoms, they can realise that they're suffering from an illness, and can then go about seeking treatment from there.
Most students, whatever year of university you are in, get to exam season and suddenly realise just how quickly the last academic year has zoomed right on by. For some, it's an exciting moment, a chance for them to 'move on', for others it's nothing more than a daunting reality and for the rest they know that more hard work is just on the horizon.
We should feel uncomfortable. Maybe we haven't told a sexist joke, hit a woman, raped a woman. But if we think we've grown up in such a sexist society and not learned and internalised sexism then we are guilty of the most appalling hubris. We are all sexists to some degree. We need to face up to it, forgive ourselves and learn from it.
'Slut-shaming' needs to be addressed as part of efforts to diminish the everyday sexism that is endemic in Britain. Challenge your peers and make a positive change as it is most definitely a form of verbal harassment. If you have said it in the past and now want to change, that is allowed.
There's tons to be gained from obtaining industry experience before heading into further education - if you know what your dream job will be, there's a chance they'll want relevant experience before they'll take you on. They'll want to know you can function in the real world.
Banning things because you don't agree with them sets a dangerous precedent. Exiling The Sun because of page three at a uni's campus of a few thousand people may appear to be a fairly innocuous move in the grand scheme of things, but there is a key principle at stake here.
To claim an increase in minimum wage will not cause employment consequences is to ignore the prevalence of technology within low-skilled jobs. As the Centre of Policy Studies quite rightly points out, increasing minimum wage is "essentially a tax on those who hire unskilled labour".

The three residences are organized in a single shell of four levels with common underground parking spaces and mechanical services achieving an efficient solution for the building budget. Each residence has private entry from the street to conserve the personal character of the single house (possibility of personal address for the tenant). The exterior spaces of the surrounding area of the building and the roof terrace are distributed to the three residences so that privacy and the sense of personal space are maintained in a symbiotic environment. The west façade of the building defines the street edge while projecting a plane as a filter of the housing activities from those of the street. This plane is partially defined by sliding perforated metal panels used to control the sun light. These panels also define areas at the exterior spaces where the privacy of the interior is "published". The movement of the panels creates a dynamic façade which is constantly changing so that it projects to the street the building's reaction during the day. The structural frame of the building is reinforced concrete which is maintained exposed as a trace of the building method to the inhabitant. The frame defines a scale for the elevations while it achieves a certain contrast with the off-white plastered infill walls and the transparent glazing. In a smaller scale, the texture of the exposed concrete with the imprints of the wooden formwork creates unexpected relationships with the rest of the materials in the interior of the residences.

Corvette Racing
Corvette's Golden Elixirpdf
Win Ad - October 2006pdf
Why do we race? The reasons are numerous, but winning, is unrivaled.
Saturday was a landmark day for the Corvette Daytona Prototype program as Action Express Racing and Chevrolet clinched TUDOR United SportsCar Championship's Prototype titles,
and Wayne Taylor Racing's Jordan Taylor, Ricky Taylor and Max Angelelli won the 10-hour Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta in their No. 10 Corvette DP.
In GT Le Mans (GTLM), Tommy Milner and Oliver Gavin posted one of their strongest showings of the year en route to a competitive fourth-place finish in the No. 4 Corvette
Racing Chevrolet Corvette C7.R. The pairing led four times in class before just missing the class podium.

Garcia leads Corvette Racing GTLM qualifying for 10-hour Petit Le Mans
Christian Fittipaldi kept the season-long momentum going for Action Express Racing and the Corvette Daytona Prototype effort with pole position Friday for Petit Le Mans at Road
Atlanta. In qualifying for Saturday's 10-hour endurance race, Fittipaldi set a best lap of 1:14.508 (122.725 mph) in Action Express Racing's No. 5 Corvette DP that he drives with
Joao Barbosa and Sebastian Bourdais.

Corvette Racing and Chevrolet's Corvette Daytona Prototype teams close the inaugural year of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship this weekend with the 17th running of Petit
Le Mans - the annual 10-hour endurance race at Road Atlanta. Saturday's event has high stakes for Corvette programs in the TUDOR Championship's Prototype and GT Le Mans (GTLM)
classes with championships in both categories on the line.
TUDOR Championship GTLM Standings
Ryan Briscoe will return to Corvette Racing next week for Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta as the third driver in both of the team's Chevrolet Corvette C7.Rs. The Aussie star will
try to help Corvette Racing and Chevrolet win for the fifth time this year in the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship's GT Le Mans (GTLM) class. The annual 1,000-mile/10-hour
endurance race is set for Saturday, Oct. 4.
Briscoe will be back in the Corvette C7.R for the first time since the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring in March, where he drove with Antonio Garcia and Jan Magnussen in
Corvette Racing's No. 3 entry. The trio also helped debut the car at the Rolex 24 At Daytona to start the TUDOR Championship season.

Action Express Racing's Joao Barbosa and Christian Fittipaldi led the Corvette Daytona Prototype effort Saturday with a third-place finish in the Lone Star Le Mans event at
Circuit of the Americas. The No. 5 Corvette DP finished on the podium for the third consecutive event as Chevrolet maintained its lead in the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship's Engine Manufacturer standings for Prototypes.
Returning to the site of a victory in last year's American Le Mans Series race, Corvette Racing aimed for a return to the GT Le Mans (GTLM) podium in the TUDOR Championship. An
early charge by Antonio Garcia in the No. 3 Chevrolet Corvette C7.R at the start of the race raised hopes as the Spaniard moved from seventh to fifth in the opening laps.
The momentum couldn't continue, however, for the team's two Corvette C7.Rs. Garcia and Jan Magnussen finished ninth in GTLM, followed by the No. 4 Corvette C7.R of Oliver Gavin
and Tommy Milner in 10th place.

Corvette Daytona Prototypes posted three of the five fastest laps in Prototype qualifying for the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship's Lone Star Le Mans race at Circuit of the
Americas on Friday. Ricky Taylor from Wayne Taylor Racing and Action Express Racing's Christian Fittipaldi led the Corvette contingent in the TUDOR Championship's premier
Jan Magnussen was the quickest qualifier for Corvette Racing in the GTLM class in the No. 3 Chevrolet Corvette C7.R. The Dane - a winner a year ago with teammate Antonio Garcia
at COTA in the American Le Mans Series - set a best lap of 2:04.847 (98.040 mph) to place seventh in the session. Magnussen will make his return to racing in the Corvette after he
missed the most recent TUDOR Championship round at VIR as a precaution following a hard crash in a practice session.
There is plenty on the line for the race. Garcia leads the class Driver's championship standings as does the No. 3 Corvette in Team points. Chevrolet ranks second in
Manufacturer points.
Oliver Gavin's best lap of 2:05.093 (97.847 mph) in the No. 4 Corvette C7.R placed him ninth in class. Gavin and teammate Tommy Milner entered COTA looking for a little
redemption following last year's race - one that saw Milner lead early before their Corvette C6.R suffered a gearbox failure.

Corvette Racing and Corvette Daytona Prototypes head deep in the heart of Texas this weekend for the Lone Star Le Mans race and the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship at
Circuit of The Americas. It is the second-to-last round of the TUDOR Championship, and both the Prototype and GT Le Mans (GTLM) standings reflect a heavy Corvette flavor.
The 2013 season was the first time Corvette Racing and Corvette DPs competed at COTA. In the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series, the GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing Corvette DP of
Alex Gurney and Jon Fogarty won in Austin. Later in the year, Antonio Garcia and Jan Magnussen won in the American Le Mans Series' GT class in a fantastic battle.

Jordan Taylor will replace Jan Magnussen in Corvette Racing's No. 3 Chevrolet Corvette C7.R for today's Oak Tree Grand Prix at Virginia International Raceway. Magnussen was
involved in a multi-car crash during Saturday's practice session for this weekend's TUDOR United SportsCar Championship round and experienced concussion-like symptoms afterward.
As a precaution, both Magnussen and Chevrolet Racing management agreed that the safest course of action is to have Magnussen sit out the race.

Corvette Racing's No. 3 Chevrolet Corvette C7.R qualified sixth Saturday for the Oak Tree Grand Prix at Virginia International Raceway - barely two hours after
a crash in the final practice session for this weekend's round of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship. Antonio Garcia set a best time of 1:44.105 (113.078 mph) in a car that
was rebuilt as a result of Jan Magnussen going off track after sliding on fluid from another car.
The No. 4 Corvette C7.R will start ninth in the GT Le Mans (GTLM) class after Tommy Milner qualified the car with a lap of 1:44.812 (112.315 mph). He and teammate Oliver Gavin
won the 2012 American Le Mans Series GT event for Corvette Racing.

Corvette Racing's first two years at Virginia International Raceway brought Corvette Racing championship bounties. This weekend, the team has a chance for another landmark in
its history - an overall victory in the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship. Corvette Racing will try and make that a reality this weekend in Oak Tree Grand Prix at VIR.
The ninth TUDOR Championship race for Corvette Racing is set for 4:05 p.m. ET on Sunday and features the GT Le Mans (GTLM) class - in which Corvette Racing competes - and the
slower GT Daytona (GTD). After this weekend, only two events will remain. Heading to Virginia, Antonio Garcia and Jan Magnussen lead the GTLM driver's championship as does
Chevrolet in the manufacturer standings. The No. 3 Corvette Racing entry heads team points.

Tracy Cooley did the unthinkable on Tuesday.
The 55-year-old voter from the Miller section of Gary asked for a Republican ballot, although he has voted Democrat since 1972.
It didn't matter that the "principles of the Democratic Party" surge through his blood, or that his mother's family were pro-union activists.
He asked for the Republican ballot for one simple, yet very serious reason in his mind. To vote against Indiana Treasurer Richard Mourdock, who was running for U.S. Senate against incumbent Sen. Dick Lugar.
"It scares me that we may have a hard-core tea partier as our senator," Cooley told me after casting his ballot. "Mourdock and his ilk are scary. I can't imagine where things would end up if they got control of the (U.S.) House, Senate and White House."
I heard this same refrain from other voters, from both sides of the political aisle. But, as of this writing, I don't know if their votes against Mourdock kept him from winning against Lugar, which is the hottest race on the ballot in this state.
As I do on everytime voters cast ballots, I cruised the region to visit polling places, chat with voters and get a pulse on what's become an oxymoron in this region, the term "voter turnout." I also ambushed a few voters with my voting day pop quiz.
This year's questions on basic U.S. civics and government were based on a new study by the Center for the Study of the American Dream. It asked native-born Americans the same questions asked to foreign-born immigrants applying for U.S. citizenship.
Immigrants must get at least six of the 10 questions correct, and 93 percent of them do, according to the study. When native-born U.S. voters were asked those 10 questions, only two thirds of them could correctly answer six out of 10.
Are we a nation of civic illiterates, as the study's author questioned? To find out, I asked a few region voters a sampling of those test questions, such as, "We elect a U.S. Senator for how many years?" And, "What is an amendment?"
Of the dozen or so voters I asked, only three could correctly answer more than five of the 10 questions, extracted from a bank of 100 similar questions. No, they weren't allowed time to study, as the immigrants are allowed. And yes, they were put on the spot by me. But you get the woeful gist of things here.
Still, I give them credit for even being a part of that dirty four-letter word: vote.
Dear voters, think quick!
Many region residents were either too busy, too apathetic or too disillusioned to cast their ballot at all.
Nathyn Gibson of Lake Station said he didn't vote because he couldn't budget it into his day between his job and his finals week of class work at Purdue University Calumet in Hammond. He simply wasn't able to drive back to Lake Station to vote, he said.
Sheryl Peterson, of Porter, said she, too, couldn't squeeze it into her busy day, even though she has two young children who will soon be a part of the Duneland Schools district. Voters in that district faced an important decision to vote for, or against, a referendum allowing a tax increase or forcing the firing of teachers and staff.
"Oh, I didn't know that," Peterson told me at a Chesterton gas station, her kids listening from her car's backseat.
So, I asked her, will you vote now that you know this relevant information?
"I doubt it," she said embarrassingly. "I've never voted before."
I asked others: If they're not voting, why not?
"Frankly, the choice of candidates is too often like a choice between syphilis and gonorrhea, or terminal cancer and AIDS," joked Richard Velasco of Crown Point.
What about all those protesters against the volatile right-to-work legislation that passed amid turmoil in the General Assembly earlier this year? Did that ordeal compel people to vote for the candidate they believe will overturn that bill?
"That will come in the general election, not the primary," answered Peter F., of Highland, who also opted not to vote.
Some people said they didn't know Tuesday was a day to cast ballots. Is that possible?
Not only were old-school campaign signs in yards, fields and street corners. But I was bombarded on social media sites by more contemporary campaign tactics, including reminders from public office holders.
"Make sure to vote for Joe Wsolek County Council," stated a text message on my phone from Portage Mayor Jim Snyder.
And this cyber-reminder arrived via Facebook from an incumbent running to retain his office: "VOTE TODAY TO ELECT JOHN EVANS, PORTER COUNTY COMMISSIONER!"
My favorite social media post of the day came from Mike Brown, a first-time candidate for Lake County recorder, or any public office for that matter.
"Proud to say I checked one off my bucket list when I voted for myself for the first time today," he wrote. "Feeling accomplished today. Victory would be ... Wow."
By the way, the answers to my pop quiz questions above are, in order, "Six years," and "A formal change to the U.S. Constitution."
Only three voters I talked with answered both correctly. Wow indeed.

3M Announces Certification For CNG Tank
3M (NYSE: MMM) announces it has successfully completed the NGV2-2007 certification process for its first compressed natural gas (CNG) tank. The 21.5 x 60 inch tank is designed for light- and medium-duty pick-up trucks and corporate fleet vehicles. 3M's tank capitalizes on improvements in geometries and proprietary 3M™ Matrix Resin featuring nanosilica technology to deliver a solution that is lighter, offers greater capacity, and is more cost effective than similar tanks.
3M Announces Certification for CNG Tank (Photo: 3M)
"We are enthusiastic about the future of natural gas vehicles and are proud to introduce this tank to help companies take advantage of the benefits of natural gas as a transportation fuel," said Mike Roman, Vice President of 3M's Industrial Adhesive and Tapes Division, home to 3M's advanced composites business. "With a tank that will help provide more range and more payload capacity at less expense, CNG vehicles are now an even more attractive alternative for fleet and individual retail customers alike."
The tank will be showcased at the NTEA Work Truck Show, March 6-8 in Indianapolis, Ind. 3M will be located at Booth #5658 at the Indiana Convention Center, in the event's "Green Pavilion."
Initially, tanks will be available through five approved upfitters with whom 3M is collaborating. These companies include OEM Systems of Okarche, Okla.; Venchurs Vehicle Systems of Adrian, Mich.; Alternative Fuel Solutions of Mahaffey, Penn.; AVS of Salt Lake City, Utah; and World CNG of Kent, Wash.The successful certification follows the 2012 announcement by 3M and Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE:CHK) that the two would collaborate in designing, manufacturing and marketing a broad portfolio of CNG tanks for use in all sectors of the United States transportation market. 3M expects to announce certification of other geometries in the coming months. Chesapeake is slated to become one of the first end users of the new 21.5 x 60 inch tank, which it will incorporate in its fleet vehicles. Chesapeake is currently converting its fleet of nearly 5,000 vehicles to run on natural gas.

Highlights: 'Vote for Me! Vote for Me!'
Date: August 22, 2012
by: Mallory Gnaegy | Community Editor
It's that time of year again when our televisions become flooded with commercials, our phones with ring with endorsement calls, our yards are staked with red or blue signs and our dinner tables are filled with political conversation. But the South Florida Museum has less of a daunting take on the upcoming elections.
Tuesday, Aug. 28, just in time for the Republican National Convention (Aug. 27 to Aug. 30), The South Florida Museum, in Bradenton, will unveil a new exhibit. "Vote for Me! Vote for Me!" will feature the history of presidential elections through objects used to market past campaigns.
More than 1,000 pieces of paraphernalia, including buttons, lapel pins, tobacco pipes, hats, posters and more, dating back to the first presidential election of 1789 up to modern-day elections, will be exhibited in the Curator's Choice Gallery.
These objects suggest the changing face of political campaigns over time. It's fascinating to see items dating back to Washington's unopposed elections juxtaposed with today's competitive campaign swag. President Washington was revered, and political objects weren't intended to gain votes. Today's election bumper stickers suggest a bit more contention.
But nasty races are nothing new. The races between Democratic-Republican Thomas Jefferson and Federalist John Adams, in 1800 and 1804, suggest that the intense competition between candidates witnessed today dates pretty far back.
It was the 1840 election between Harrison and Van Buren that influenced campaign marketing via slogans, songbooks and banners. Then there's also the late '60s and early '70s, when button collectors created a market for campaign buttons.
The exhibit will also feature a broader scope than just political pieces. There will be exhibits about historical pieces of technology, such as the telegraph recording machine, and how it was used to get the results of the vote out along with educational material that gives the history of elections and candidates.
All political parties, history-buffs and even those who struggle naming all the presidents, will find something in this exhibit. It is a great civics lesson as we travel head-on into the next campaign.
'Vote for Me! Vote for Me!'
When: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday; noon to 5 p.m. Sundays; closed Mondays. Exhibit runs from Aug. 28 to Nov. 25.
Where: South Florida Museum, 201 10th St. W., Bradenton
Cost: Adults $15.95, seniors $13.95; children $11.95
More info: Call 746-4131 or visit SouthFloridaMuseum.org
1860 — This small flag would have been displayed in storefronts or windows of homes, and it's safe to say these were seen in the Northern states.
1884 -– Starting in the mid 1800s, during the days leading up to elections, torchlight parades were used to rally voters. Men would march with torches, which endorsed particular nominees.
This is a drapery tieback dating to the first election. Instead of campaigning (Washington ran unopposed), these showed revere for the president.
The Chicago Tribune's 1948 headline falsely read "Dewey Defeats Truman." The paper had to go to press before the East Coast could determine results, but the paper's prediction of the election was false, and it erroneously reported the results.

Cross-Promotion: Driving Readers Across Multiple Platforms
In an age when publishing products run the gamut from print to online, mobile to events, separate audiences and separate advertisers for the different platforms of the same brand no longer work. Publishers now realize it's necessary to drive their audiences and advertisers across their entire portfolio.
Digital b-to-b publisher FierceMarkets has grown in six years from an e-newsletter provider to a full-fledged media company with 16 online publications serving six industries via four media channels, including Webinars, trade shows and executive summits. The goal is not only to bring in new customers but to get existing advertisers and readers to use all FierceMarkets products, says president Jeff Giesea.
At Reiman Media Group, which publishes cooking and enthusiast magazines such as Taste of Home, president Barbara Newton says the company looks to its audiences to offer direction in cross-promotion. "We have a saying at Reiman, ďľ'Listen to the customer and everything else will follow,'" Newton says. "And I think that's more true today than ever before. When you're feeding multiple products into a system, you need to listen to the customer about what they want and when they want it, and figure out a strategy to deliver it to them the way they want it."
Reiman says her company often uses its different channels to market its products. "Taste of Home has 3.5 million subscribers," she says. "So if we have a cookbook coming out, we'll promote in Taste of Home, in other magazines, on the Internet, through direct mail and through our cooking classes."
Giesea says his company often uses a similar strategy to promote the products in its different channels. When the company advertised a party in one of its newsletters, 1,400 RSVP-ed. "[The party] is a whole new venue in which we get to serve readers and marketers," he says. "From an advertising perspective, it gives our marketers who usually reach our readers online or in our newsletters, the chance to reach them in person."
Reiman also cross promotes by repurposing content in a variety of products. "We might do a one-track cookbook in direct mail at $24.99 and then do a lower-priced trade version for $14.99," she explains. "We also might want to take that content and use it in a bookazine for $9.99 and do a digest size at the register that's all recipe cards for $4.99. But we also think about the way we offer that content very carefully. We don't want our best customers purchasing the same content in a different format."
Newton says it's more important than ever for publishers to diversify their offerings. "In cross-promoting, we look for the kind of project that can appeal across a variety of media channels, has a broad enough reach and what makes sense in pricing, timing, format and production specifications in each channel," she says.
Recently, FierceMarkets launched companion Web sites for all of its newsletters (previously the company's Web pages served as places where people could read a newsletter if they missed it). "They really feed off of each," says Giesea. "We've noticed a spike in traffic and page views. It really represents a whole new growth opportunity for us."
FierceMarkets is considering launching companion print titles to their channel offerings. "Even though we're digitally inclined and it's something we don't do now, it is something we're open to," he says. "We want to find more ways to best serve our readers and best serve our advertisers.The guiding principle in cross-promotion is that publishers need to get out of the mindset of circ management. Unique visitors are important, but they're not necessarily the most valuable. You need to look at it across the board."
ďľ• Keep your messages simple.
ďľ• Listen to customers and provide information to them where and when they want it.
ďľ• Create content that makes sense for your audience.
ďľ• Cross promote your different products across different channels.
ďľ• When repurposing content be sure the timing is right and you're not offering your audience the same product in a different format.

UK Budget 2012 - Eye watering 15% SDLT charge
By David Anderson, solicitor advocate and tax adviser, and Andinee Pillay Jagambrun, solicitor, both at Sykes Anderson LLP Solicitors and Chartered Tax Advisers in London, England.
Please note that tax law is a complex subject and you should not rely on this article without professional advice on the facts of your case
Although there had been warnings that SDLT loopholes would be closed, no one expected the introduction of the 15% SDLT rate, which applies to residential properties purchased for more than £2,000,000 by companies. This charge will make the UK a much less attractive place for non-domiciled (and may be non UK resident) investors. Indeed, this exorbitant charge appears to be a contradictory move for a government geared up to open Britain for business. It may however be that the legislation which is eventually enacted will contain various useful exemptions from the 15% tax.
Furthermore, threats of retrospective tax legislation cause uncertainty for investors. The government has also announced its intention to introduce an annual charge on companies owning UK real estate and to charge non-UK companies CGT.
New rates
On or from 21 March 2012, there will be an SDLT charge of 15% where residential properties are acquired by certain types of "non-natural" persons. There will also be an increased SDLT charge from 5% to 7% where the property is purchased by an individual. Both these charges will apply where the price of the property exceeds £2,000,000. Otherwise, the old 5% rate will apply.
There are transitional rules in place for these transactions. Effectively companies which had exchanged contracts before 21 March 2012 would fall outside the 15% SDLT provided there is no variation/assignment etc of the contract before completion. For the old rate of 5% to apply to individual purchasers, they would have to have exchanged before 22 March.
Importantly the draft legislation which has recently appeared contains a useful exemption from the 15% SDLT charge for companies which will be worth buyers using offshore companies exploring further.
Retrospective legislation
Whilst the definition of non-natural persons is wide enough to catch companies quoted on the London Stock Exchange (such as REITs), it does not cover some obscure overseas entities. In general however most UK and offshore companies incorporated in jurisdictions such as BVI and the Channel Islands will be caught. HMRC has retained powers to extend the number of non-natural persons caught by these provisions by statutory instrument. Furthermore, the chancellor has warned that the government will act swiftly to curb further SDLT abuse, with the use of retrospective legislation where appropriate.
Future developments
There are no changes being made to the stamp duty tax rate of 0.5% which applies to purchase of shares in a UK Special Purpose Vehicle owning residential property (different rates (often nil) will apply to companies based in other jurisdictions). The government has however made several announcements for a consultation on the introduction of an annual charge where the residential property is owned by non-natural persons. This annual charge would be akin to a Wealth Tax levied in some continental countries on the net value of assets. This would be a negative development as it would require an annual return (probably self assessed) with a valuation of the property. It will be assessed on the gross value of the property.
The government has also said it will consult on introducing a Capital Gains Tax charge on non-UK non-natural persons which own residential property. At the moment offshore companies owning UK property are generally not liable to UK Capital Gains Tax. If this proposal is implemented it could affect prices in the UK as international buyers will lose a significant tax break. That said most other EU countries tax capital gains on land regardless of where the seller is resident.
Purchase of shares in an SPV
Currently, where a company owns property it may be possible for a prospective buyer to either extract the property from the company into its own name or acquire the company itself. Where the latter is concerned, there is no SDLT payable as the property does not change ownership but rather ownership of the company changes. Accordingly, the purchase is subject to lower, or no, stamp duty as the purchaser is effectively buying the shares in the company.
Annual charge
Although there are no proposals to change the tax rate on purchases of shares in an SPV, there are proposals to introduce an annual charge on companies owning residential property. This charge will only apply to properties worth more than £2,000,000.
This new charge, if implemented, will have a significant impact on individuals who own their property through a corporate vehicle. Owners will need to assess whether the benefits of owning property via a company (confidentiality, inheritance tax) are justified by the increased taxation during ownership and on disposal. Alternative, unfamiliar structures may need to be considered for holding their UK assets.
Presently, non UK residents (including companies) are not subject to CGT. This is subject to certain rules, including a five year "claw-back" rule and the split year rule. However, the government has announced its proposal to introduce a charge to CGT to non UK non-natural persons on gains realised on disposals of UK real estate. The consultation is due to take place this year with a change of the law to come into effect in the 2013-14 tax year.
Most countries which charge CGT will provide that real estate in that country is subject to CGT at national level irrespective of the owner's residence status. The UK has been one of the few countries which did not provide for this. This was positive and attractive to the non UK resident investors. Certainly, non UK residents would have been advised to purchase UK real estate using offshore companies to fall outside the UK IHT. These individuals will find themselves in difficulty if the change is implemented as they will find that any gains made on the disposal of UK real estate worth more than £2,000,000 will be subject to UK CGT.
The proposal, at present, does not include non UK resident individuals, who will continue to be outside the scope of UK CGT. Advisers will now be considering the UK's network of double tax treaties to determine whether there are provisions which might override this proposed charge.
Whilst it is true that companies (mainly offshore) owning UK residential property have been used by non UK domiciled to remove themselves from the scope of UK IHT, many individuals have also used these structure for security and confidentiality reasons.
The announcement to increase the SDLT to 15% for companies appears to be rushed. Furthermore, the government seems to have disregarded the fact that SDLT is payable on the initial purchase of the property by a non-natural person. It is the subsequent sale of the shares in the SPV that falls outside the scope of SDLT and into the remits of a lower stamp duty rate.
People who have purchased UK property using an offshore vehicle should keep a close eye on the proposed consultations and ensure any new rules implemented do not catch them off-guard. The draft legislation which has recently appeared contains a useful exemption from the 15% SDLT charge for companies which will be worth buyers using offshore companies exploring further.

disposal program is also included. The chapter concludes with an outline of some of the conclusions drawn by the committee from analysis of the historical records and calculations of exposure levels.
Sulfur mustard (C4H8Cl2S) is one of a class of chemical warfare agents known as vesicants because of their ability to form vesicles, or blisters, on exposed skin (see Figure 3-1). During WWI, exposed troops described the odor of this agent as a stench like mustard or garlic, hence its common name. Table 3-1 summarizes some characteristics of mustard agents and Lewisite. First noted for its toxic properties by dye chemists in the late 1880s, sulfur mustard has been referred to by a number of synonyms: S-mustard, to distinguish it from nitrogen mustard; ''Lost" or "S-Lost," from the names of two chemists who suggested it be used as a war gas (Lommel and Steinkopf); "yellow cross," for the identifying mark on WWI shells containing sulfur mustard; or Yperite, after the site of its first use in 1917. Although commonly and inaccurately referred to as mustard gas, the agent is a liquid at room temperature.
Sulfur mustard produces skin blisters and damage to the eyes and respiratory tract, and it can be lethal at sufficiently high doses. It is a cellular poison and mutagen and a recognized human carcinogen. Battlefield use of sulfur mustard decreases the opponent's ability to fight by producing chemical burns on tissues that come into contact with either vapors or liquid droplets and aerosols. Exposed skin surfaces, eyes, and the linings of both the respiratory and the gastrointestinal tracts are all at risk, and the risks increase dramatically under hot, humid conditions.
From a military standpoint, one of sulfur mustard's most useful properties is its persistence. Droplets of this agent released in an explosion can deposit on numerous surfaces, evaporating slowly and posing a risk from inhalation as well as contact with the skin. Indeed, this very set of conditions was observed in WWI after mustard shelling (Haber, 1986). One reason for this persistence is the characteristic freezing temperature of sulfur mustard (13°C to 15°C). Droplets or bulk quantities would thus be expected to remain where initially deposited during cool or winter weather, under forest canopies, or under overgrown vegetation. Under certain conditions, bulk quantities of mustard agent spilled or splashed onto the soil would not degrade for months.
The exact date of the first sulfur mustard synthesis is somewhat unclear, but the first report may have been by Despretz in 1822. An 1860 report by Neimann describes a delayed-effect vesicant oil as a reaction product of ethylene on a mixture of sulfur chlorides. At that time, this

STAUNTON – The Virginia Department of Transportation is implementing repairs to the slope failure on Route 39 in Rockbridge County. Route 39 is closed from Route 252 to Route 729.
The slide took place on April 20 and is located .5 mile west of Route 252. Heavy rain occurred on the morning of April 20 in the area of the slide.
The repairs will be done in two phases. Phase one will begin on Friday, April 24 and will continue through the weekend. Crews from contractor Soil Nail Launcher Inc. of Fruita, Colo., will be working on the top part of the road embankment. The contractor will drill holes under the road and drive steel into these holes under the road. The steel, which is referred to as nails, will knit the soil together. The nails will extend about a foot out from the soil.
A wire mesh will be hung from the nails, extending down the slope approximately 15 feet from the road bed. This wire mesh will be used as reinforcement for a shotcrete concrete wall which will be constructed parallel to the roadway.
VDOT Staunton District Materials Engineer Chaz Weaver, P.E., said, "Shotcrete is lean concrete sprayed through a hose at a high velocity onto a surface, which allows placement of the substance in hard-to-reach areas. Essentially a wall of concrete will be built on this slope to help stabilize the area where the road sits."
Several days after the wall is built phase two of the repairs will begin using a separate contractor. The operations will include removal of mud and debris and then construction of a rock buttress to assist with the slope's long-term stability. VDOT will be awarding a contract for this work in the near future.
Weaver estimates all the repairs to cost $330,000. This figure is subject to change as the work progresses.
Phase-one work is estimated to last 10 days and phase-two work could take approximately four weeks. All work is weather permitting.
While Route 39 is closed motorists can use a detour set up by VDOT. Tractor trailer trucks should take Interstate 64 to exit 43 at Route 780 (Brattons Run). Take Route 780 to Route 39.
Local automobile traffic should use the following detour:
Westbound Route 39 traffic should take:
Route 39 turn right onto Route 252 (Brownsburg Turnpike)
Route 252 turn left onto Route 712 (Bustleburg Road)
Route 712 turn left onto Route 729 (Back Draft Road)
Route 729 turn right onto Route 39
Eastbound Route 39 traffic should take:
Route 39 turn left onto Route 729
Route 729 turn right onto Route 712
Route 712 turn right onto Route 252
Route 252 turn left onto Route 39.
The VDOT Staunton District serves Frederick, Shenandoah, Clarke, Warren, Page, Rockingham, Augusta, Highland, Rockbridge, Alleghany and Bath counties.

Painted Ray Raja undulata
Also known as the undulate ray, the painted ray is one of the most distinctive northern European rays. This species is patterned with long, wavy, dark lines edged with white spots that run parallel to the wing margins. Its ornate appearance makes it an attractive species for aquariums, but in its natural habitat, this pattern has the practical advantage of helping the ray to blend in with the gravel and sand on the seabed, where it feeds on flatfish, crabs, and other bottom-living invertebrates.
The biology of this beautiful ray has not been fully studied, but during the breeding season, males use paired claspers to transfer sperm during mating, and females are known to lay up to 15 eggs in muddy or sandy flats. Each egg is encased in a reddish-brown, oblong egg capsule up to 3 in (9 cm) long, with a curved horn at each corner. Additional information on the distribution and status of this and other rays around Britain is currently being collected through an egg-case identification project. Members of the public are encouraged to collect empty egg cases that have been washed ashore, rehydrate them, and identify them. The number and location of egg cases found are collated each year.
