Just in time to better compete with the upcoming Saturn Vue Two-Mode hybrid, Ford is rolling out a series of updates to the Escape and Mariner (and likely the badge engineered Mazda Tribute) hybrids. The big news is an updated 2.5L four cylinder engine that supplants the existing 2.3L unit. The revised engine includes variable cam timing on the intake camshaft, the first such application on the Ford hybrids. The updated engine still runs on an Atkinson cycle and the updates improve performance without degrading the fuel economy. When we tested the 2008 Escape hybrid last year it achieved a real world 30mpg, so that should be maintained.
One of the complaints with the existing Escape hybrid is the brake system. Many drivers don't like the pedal feel and, unlike the conventional models, the hybrids haven't had traction or stability control. That changes for 2009. Ford claims a new brake system improves the blending of friction and regenerative braking. It also adds traction, stability and roll stability control to the package for the hybrids.
The conventional Escape and Mariner also get powertrain upgrades. The 2.5L four cylinder also replaces the 2.3L in the base version and gets the variable valve timing on the intake camshaft. The four gets an increase power from 153hp to 170hp. The up-level 3.0L V-6 gets new pistons, cylinder heads and injection system for a 30hp increase to 230hp. All the Escapes and Mariners also get some minor aerodynamic tweaks as well. Both engines are paired up with a new 6-speed automatic transmission, which, when combined with the engine changes, gives a 1mpg increase to each model while improving acceleration and towing capability. The Ford press release is after the jump.

• 2009 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner crossovers improve fuel efficiency with new, more powerful I-4 and V-6 engines and 6-speed transmissions.
• Ford's full-hybrid Escape and Mariner gain performance and refinement improvements for 2009.
• Ford adds three vehicles to its flexible fuel (FFV) line-up for the 2009 model year – Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator SUVs and Ford E-Series Econoline vans.
• Ford and Southern California Edison showcase 120-mpg Escape Plug-in Hybrid.
WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 22, 2008 – Today at the Washington Auto Show and Automotive News World Congress in Detroit, Ford Motor Company announced its hot-selling compact SUVs, the Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner, will become more fuel efficient, more powerful and more connected for the 2009 model year.
Ford also announced that it is expanding its commitment to biofuels by adding three additional vehicles to its E85-capable flexible fuel line-up for 2009 – the E-Series van, as well as the standard and extended-length models of the Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs. These additional product actions are part of Ford's sustainability strategy, which also includes high-volume introductions of EcoBoost gas turbocharged direct injection engines.
Speaking today at Automotive News World Congress in Detroit, Ford Motor Company President and CEO Alan Mulally met with industry leaders and media to share today's announcement and discuss how Ford is accelerating the development of new products and technologies customers want and value. Mulally also reaffirmed that Ford will reach benchmark levels of new or significantly freshened products, delivering a showroom with 70 percent new or freshened vehicles by the end of 2008 and 100 percent by 2010.
"This year, we make good on our commitment to freshen our showrooms," Mulally said. "We just introduced the new 2009 Ford F-150 last week, and it was a hit. We also have Lincoln MKS and Ford Flex coming, as well as a new Mustang early next year."
At the Washington Auto Show, Sue Cischke, Ford senior vice president, Sustainability, Environment and Safety Engineering, outlined the company's high-volume customer-focused strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy.
"Ford Motor Company is increasing fuel economy and cutting greenhouse gas emissions with affordable technologies for millions of customers," said Cischke. "In the near term, we will leverage existing technologies to achieve those goals, including advanced engines and multi-speed transmissions. The 2009 Escape and Mariner are great examples of how we're delivering today."
Fuel-efficient new 2.5-liter Engine
The new 2009 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner make strides in fuel economy and emissions with a new, 2.5-liter engine and a smooth new fuel-saving 6-speed automatic transmission.
Not only is the new powertrain expected to improve the Escape and Mariner's EPA estimated fuel economy by 1 mile per gallon, it will also give the customer an 11 percent increase in horsepower to 170 horsepower.
The new 2.5-liter engine with intake variable cam timing (IVCT) boasts a 17-horsepower increase in output over the outgoing 2.3-liter engine.
Responsive with its peak 166 ft. lb. of torque, the engine also is refined, with dual-mode crankshaft damping, electronic throttle control and PowerPC engine electronic control.
The anticipated 1 mpg improvement in fuel economy will make Escape and Mariner more than competitive in the segment. With the improvements, Escape and Mariner also achieve ULEV II emissions certification.
The new engine also is the new basis for Ford's hybrid models, ushering in a host of improvements that will make the Ford Escape Hybrid and Mercury Mariner Hybrid even more appealing. Adapted to the Atkinson cycle, the engine is the first for Ford to incorporate variable valve timing on a hybrid engine.
"More than ever, the Escape Hybrid and Mariner Hybrid are the ultimate vehicles for commuters in the daily battle with urban traffic congestion," said Cischke. "For every eight Escape and Mariner vehicles we sell, one of them is a hybrid, and the appeal is growing."
An optional, 230-hp, 3.0-liter V-6 engine – a 30-hp increase over last year – also is offered. It, too, will offer an estimated 1 mpg fuel economy improvement and better acceleration, thanks to the new 6-speed transmission and engine enhancements, including new pistons, cylinder heads and fuel injection system.
Spotlight on Fuel Efficiency, Even in the Performance Version
The new, more fuel-efficient automatic 6-speed transmission featured in the Escape and Mariner offers a significant improvement in powertrain smoothness and drivability, replacing the four-speed automatic previously offered.
Its flexibility allows Escape and Mariner to feature a longer final-drive ratio for optimal fuel economy, while its smooth-shifting quality provides an enhanced experience for the driver, especially in combination with the more powerful engines in the Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner family.
Fuel savings also come from additional design and engineering features, including:
• Aerodynamic improvements, including a new front fascia chin spoiler and rear tire spoilers also play a role in the fuel economy story.
• A new 16-inch Michelin tire design offers improved rolling resistance that contributes to fuel efficiency, while also bringing improvements in quiet operation, steering and handling, and stopping distance.
All Escape and Mariner models now feature Easy Fuel™, a capless refueling system. This feature is not only a convenience for customers but also helps to prevent evaporative fuel emissions.
Escape and Mariner also incorporate new features to improve dynamic handling and ride characteristics, including a new 18.5 mm rear stabilizer bar and revised suspension tuning. Powertrain sound quality is enhanced by a new air induction system for V-6 engine models and a new exhaust system on all models.
Ford Hybrids: More Refinement, Safety and Performance
The new 2.5-liter engine also is the new foundation for the Escape Hybrid and Mariner Hybrid models. Adapted for hybrid use, the engine is Ford's first to use variable valve timing on an Atkinson cycle hybrid engine. Advancements in engine processor technology enable a nearly imperceptible transition from gas to electric mode.
A new brake system also provides a more seamless transition from regenerative braking to traditional braking. It incorporates a new pedal sensor that gives the driver better feedback and pedal feel similar to that of a traditional vacuum-assisted hydraulic system.
Also new this year is a new standard safety feature – AdvanceTrac® with RSC®. Already standard on gas-powered models, this patented Ford Motor Company stability control system includes roll stability control. Escape Hybrid and Mariner Hybrid are the only small hybrids to offer such an advanced safety technology.
At the Washington Auto Show, Ford will display a Ford Escape Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) alongside the production Escape Hybrid. The plug-in research vehicle uses high voltage, lithium-ion batteries and can travel up to 30 miles on battery power alone before switching to full hybrid mode, delivering the equivalent of up to 120 miles per gallon for far fewer trips to the gas station.
Ford is collaborating with Southern California Edison in a unique partnership to advance the commercialization of PHEVs, demonstrating the potential for two industries to change the transportation and energy future.
This is part of Ford's sustainability strategy, which also includes a new engine technology called EcoBoost that will deliver up to 20 percent better fuel economy and 15 percent fewer CO2 emissions on half a million Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles annually in North America starting within the next five years.
The EcoBoost family of 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engines features turbocharging and direct injection technology and will be used in a range of global vehicles – from small cars to large trucks. Compared with more expensive hybrids and diesel engines, EcoBoost builds upon today's affordable gasoline engine and improves it, providing more customers with a way to improve fuel economy and emissions without compromising driving performance.
More Technology, Connectivity
The popularity of the Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner reflects a trend of continuous improvement and product enhancement, including the most "connected" driving experience available today.
New optional equipment includes:
• SYNC, the award-winning Ford in-car connectivity system developed with Microsoft, will be offered in Escape and Mariner. New for the 2009 model-year, SYNC features "911 Assist" which will help drivers connect with emergency assistance in the event of air bag deployment. Also available for 2009, SYNC will offer Vehicle Health Reports, which are designed to keep owners up to speed with vehicle maintenance needs through the syncmyride.com web site.
• SIRIUS® Travel Link™ , which offers real-time traffic, weather, fuel price, sports schedules and movie information when combined with Ford's next-generation navigation system with voice recognition.
Growing Popularity
With the continuous improvements to the 2009 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner, the vehicles are primed to build on their sales success in the 2007 calendar year, which included record hybrid volume. Highlights include:
• Ford Escape Hybrid recorded a 10.4 percent increase in sales versus 2006, with 21,386 units sold, while Mercury Mariner Hybrid sales were up 17 percent over 2006 to 3,722 units.
• Total Ford Escape sales were up 5.2 percent to 165,596. Mercury Mariner was up 2.6 percent to 34,844 units.
The Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner are produced at Ford's Kansas City Assembly Plant, and the 2009 models will go on sale this summer.

Hammamet Travel Guide
Hammamet Local History
Like many places in Tunisia Hammamet changed hands several times, of interest was the 1602 takeover by the Knights of Malta who disguised themselves as Muslims and playing Arabic music were welcomed to the town with open arms only to ransack the place. Now one of the most popular destinations in Tunisia.
Hammamet Attractions
Top Attractions
Nabeul Near to Hammamet and worth a day trip, located 2km inland and known for its pottery, also the souk (market) is crowded with local handicrafts, but remember to haggle and look out for suspect quality.
Kasbah of Hammamet The 15th century citadel with its high walls and Roman ruins is a worthwhile diversion.
Medina Located inside the castle, this is a place of narrow roads, little shops and interesting Arabic Architecture. It's a tourist trap so try to go early or late. Offering mainly kitsch there is not much to buy and you will get hassled. The houses have some zany doors so go see.
Shakespeare Bar/Restaurant Well The Shakespeare bar is Brilliant it has Good food,Good Entertainment, Brlliant staff and the Hosts are very welcoming!!!
They have a 7 year old Daughter called Yasmine or she likes to be called Yaz, Yaz went on the Karioke and was brilliant!!! They can get all the Sport that you maybe missing back home, like I thought I was going to miss the England game and Liverpool games but the Shakespeare Bar came to the rescue!!!!! and last but not least it is 2 for 1 on drinks you will spend about 8 to 10 denars in any other bar or restaurant for 1 drink at the shakespeare bar you get 2 for 1!!!!!
If your going near here on your Holiday I would try this Bar and when I go back to Tunisia I will be going for my Meals and Entertainment at the Shakespeare Bar!!!!

Shakespeare We recently spent two weeks in Hammamet at the Caribbean world hotel. We were all inclusive but you know us English we like our own food so our luck was in when we found a great English bar called Shakespeare. It's a lovely place where you get good food good service and happy hours all the day. We generally popped down for lunch every day to Shakespeare and then spent a couple of hours at night at least there we got proper pint glasses. The owner is an English lady called dawn, they have a camera system in operation 24 hours a day where you can watch the bar and kitchen from anywhere in the world.

Good holiday but.....! We recently holidayed in Hammamet Tunisia and were staying in the Hotel Bel Air. There are nice bars in the area, like the British Bar opposite our hotel, but I must warn you that if you go over there be prepared to be accosted by a Tunisian boy who is renting mopeds in the street outside the hotel. He pestered us so much that we gave up going out of our hotel and stayed in our room all the time. We were not surprised when a lady in the hotel told us how he literally dragged her into an empty shop and proceeded to do her a henna tattoo she said she didnt want it but of course he told her it was free 5 mins later he asked her for 100 dt and would not let her go until she paid him. The same tattoo in the hotel costs 15dt. What a rip off. Be prepared for him to run behind you in the street and try to drag you to make you rent one of his mopeds or have a tattoo. He is small very dark skinned about 22 years old with long hair. Please be careful of this man.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

I was eleven when they were building Serpentor. Serpentor was derived from the DNA of the world's greatest warriors, and I was along for the ride. Who needed Chrome Dome leading Cobra when you could build your own? Issue #49 still has the teeth marks on the spine. Smartly, I brought the next issue home on my bike in a bag. Now, here's my first column of EARTH PRIME TIME.
The Cobra Commander from my youth still exists, affectionately written by Larry Hama in the resurrected G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (Classic) series. Boy-oh-boy, he's been through the ringer! From pyramid scheme salesman to domineering Dad, the old coot had to fight to regain his island back from Serpentor. It's Cobra Island, not Serpentor Island! In case you're wondering, he's fine, just still yelling at Destro and the Baroness.
As with most wistful notions, the REAL action is in the G.I. Joe reboot (IDW). Hawaiian-shirt-wearing Chuckles infiltrates Cobra in an espionage title that reads more like an episode of 24 than a Hasbro toy tie-in. Chuckles shot his handler Jinx in the face to gain the trust of the Cobra Command echelon.
We start to question Chuckle's motivations, and if he's turned his back on his mission, and G.I. Joe: Cobra is extended into an ongoing volume two.
"BLAM", Chuckles breaks into Cobra Commander's office and shoots his head clear off. No more Cobra Commander.
In a hero's goodbye Chuckles nukes Cobra Island to bits. Now that's a reimagining. Take that, Ronald D. Moore!
To fill the void, the Cobra Organization (think part Halliburton, part Scientology) holds a contest for a new leader. Under the banner of last summer's Cobra: Civil War, the fangs are out and the Joe death toll is raised. The Cobra Council determines who shall take over Cobra's military operations in December's G.I. Joe #8. Page 18 reveals this to be new character Krake. Krake has deceived his allies and slain many enemies. Plus he has a really cool helmet already.
Cobra Commander is dead, long live Cobra Commander!
Robert Atkins redesign work on the Commander is just as exciting as Jim Lee's new Superman from the summer. Robert talks process and Hasbro approvals on his blog. Krake is a marksman, so a second sidearm replaces the belt knife. The lower fangs stay, but the small fin helmet has to go!
As far as I can tell, Hasbro has given IDW lots of leeway with these new books. The Marvel series only killed Joes when sales were plummeting and interest was waning. Now the level of sophisticated storytelling calls for a death, and it's allowed. Smart move, giant toy company!
In the Cobra Organization, Serpentor explains to the slighted Major Bludd the coil of life "…But if he should misstep, then the game begins AGAIN, right? It's a lifetime position. And WHAT is a lifetime, then?" Cobra Command starts today in G.I. Joe #9.

Runaway dump truck crashes over embankment
Updated On: Sep 03 2013 12:55:12 PM EDT
The driver of a runaway dump truck managed to avoid seriously injuring anyone or crashing into buildings, but the wreck closed a Westwood intersection.
Police said the truck's brakes malfunctioned and the driver turned the steering wheel as hard as he could, causing the dump truck to spin 180 degrees and drive backward over a retaining wall.
Pictures: Runaway dump truck crashes over embankment
But the truck stayed out of the intersection of Worthington and Goebel avenues, and no one was injured.
The truck narrowly avoided a building near the retaining wall but damaged some trees and bushes.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
Worthington and Goebel avenues were closed while crews pulled the truck over the embankment.

The brother of disgraced financier Bernie Madoff pled guilty Friday to charges stemming from his involvement in the high profile Ponzi scheme.
Peter Madoff was taken by FBI agents to the federal court house earlier in the morning after being arrested at his lawyer's office.
His plea deal calls for a 10 year prison term and a guilty plea on charges of conspiracy and falsifying records.
He once worked as the chief compliance office for Bernie Madoff's fraudulent investment business.
The plea includes a requirement for Peter Madoff to relinquish his property and pay $143 billion in a criminal forfeiture.
In a statement, an FBI official says Peter Madoff was one of the chief architects of the Madoff empire, adding, "Peter Madoff played an essential enabling role in the largest investment fraud in U.S. history. He made a pretense of compliance; he was really about complicity."
The 66-year-old was the chief compliance officer at the Madoff investment business.
He is the first relative of Bernie Madoff to admit involvement in the scheme.
On Friday, Peter Madoff told a Manhattan federal court that he's sorry and deeply ashamed of his role in the multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme.
He said he didn't know about the scheme until 2008.
Sentencing is scheduled for October 4.
Bernie Madoff is currently serving a 150-year sentence after he admitted to cheating thousands of people out of billions of dollars.
He has insisted he carried out the fraud alone.

How I did it: Went to church (every Sunday). Read my devotional prayer book nightly. Prayed in the car, during commercials, while baking, before bedtime, in church, any spare moments. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I relaxed...spent time alone.....enjoyed silence....felt comfortable in my own skin....sometimes procrastinated....said "NO" when people asked to much of me....watched TV....painted my fingernails....journaled....bought myself flowers.....made my favorite meals....did what was right for me! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I decided to hire a maid to come bi-weekly. It not only forces me to keep the house picked up for her to clean, but also gets the nooks and crannies that I may have missed. Not expensive either! Read how I did it…

Maternity Clothes... or Not?
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 05-08-2013 - 9:54am
Take Duchess Kate, for example, who has been scrutinized since the moment she announced she was expecting, with critics constantly judging her for maintaining a small figure. Recent outings in which she displayed her small royal baby bump in non-maternity clothes has only fueled speculation. Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian has been attacked for showing off her belly too much, with tight clothes and revealing tops.
Both illustrate the point that women, pregnant or not, come in a wide variety of healthy shapes and sizes. So it shouldn't be a surprise that a first time mom might sport either a barely-there bump or a more voluptuous figure.
"The criticism of Duchess Kate's small bump is crazy," says Ray. "She has always been tiny so a small bump is to be expected."
It's not just her bump the world is watching, but also how she chooses to cover it. When you're idolized by fashionistas around the world, there is an added pressure to enchant your followers with impeccable maternity style. And when you make a misstep? Watch out, because the world is watching.
Are you wearing maternity clothes only at this point? Or, are you like Kate, and wear regular non-maternity clothing in just a larger than normal size?

Neighbor: Dog was aggressive before
A neighbor of a 3-year-old girl killed in a dog attack on Monday said the dog had been known to be aggressive in the past.
Braelynn Rayne Coulter was killed Monday evening after being attacked by a family pet, a pit bull terrier, according to police.
Neighbor G. Simmons said the little girl was a bundle of energy, always pleasant and never afraid to say hello. The family owned two pit bulls, Simmons said.
"She was a fearless little kid. I have seen her bossing the dogs around before," Simmons said. "We just saw her on Sunday, and then we hear about this attack, but no one heard a thing."
Simmons said the neighborhood has had problems with the dogs before.
"This dog broke through the fence attacked (a) neighbor's dog in October," she said. "The dog went down the hill and all of the sudden the pit comes out of nowhere. It took all of us to get those dogs apart. Everyone in the neighborhood has been distrustful and alert since we know that (the dog) can be aggressive that way."
The dog attacked the child at the home on Big Creek Court at 5:02 p.m. Monday evening. A member of the toddler's family drove the child to High Point Regional Hospital.
"You just feel badly. You feel bad for the dogs as well," Simmons said.
The dog is being held at the Guilford County Animal Shelter in quarantine and is listed as aggressive. The dog will remain there until rabies tests come back, then it will be put down.
Meanwhile, neighbors and family friends are raising money to help the mother, Randi Coulter, pay for the burial of Braelynn and to help with other expenses that are needed. Police said Coulter sustained bites while trying to get the dog off of the toddler. The Go Fund Me page can be found at http://www.gofundme.com/74g8rg or donations can be dropped off at the Truliant Federal Credit Union.
According to WGHP Fox 8, the family issued the following statement:
"Braelynn Rayne Coulter was a beautiful, lively three year old young lady. She was full of life. She was the light of her mama and gaga's life and the loss leaves a hole in our hearts. She was smart and vivacious and absolutely loved Dora the Explorer. She enjoyed her time in nature and going to a park was the highlight of her day. She will be missed dearly! Heaven is a little prettier today with Braelynn there!"

1 Day Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond & Trossachs Coach Tour (Glasgow ST)
A great value coach tour of central Scotland including Stirling's famous Castle and the stunning beauty of the Loch Lomond National Park and the Trossachs. The tour runs 4 times a week throughout the year. (Monday,Tuesday, Thursday & Sunday)
Tour Highlights: Loch Lomond, Aberfoyle, The Trossachs, Loch Katrine, Callander, Stirling and Stirling Castle (Optional)
We start our tour with a drive through the picturesque Campsie Fells, passing pretty Glengoyne Malt Whisky Distillery, before making the first stop of the day at Balmaha, by the "bonnie, bonnie banks" of Loch Lomond. To the north striking mountains guard the "Queen of all Britain's lakes" while, to the south, islands span the loch like giant stepping stones!
The Trossachs is a wonderful area of lochs and mountains that is rightly known as the "Highlands in Miniature". From the pretty village of Aberfoyle the coach climbs the dramatic Dukes Pass to reach Loch Katrine whose natural beauty inspired Sir Walter Scott's epic poem "The Lady of the Lake". After some free time amongst this wonderful scenery we continue our drive through the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park and long the banks of Loch Venachar to the popular Victorian holiday town of Callander.
A real highlight is our visit to the medieval city of Stirling. Here there is an opportunity to visit Stirling Castle (optional). The castle overlooks the ancient city of Stirling and is one of the historic buildings that have come to symbolise the spirit of Scotland. Our extended stop in Stirling will allow a leisurely visit to the Castle or a chance to explore the city itself.
After our time in Stirling we join the motorway for the short journey back to Glasgow.

India win the 1st ODI
DAMBULLA: An unflappable Mahendra Singh Dhoni led by example as India relied on a clinical all-round display to thrash Sri Lanka by six wickets and take a 1-0 lead in the five-match ODI series on Wednesday.
Chasing 247, India rode on substantial contributions from Gautam Gambhir (62) and Suresh Raina (54) before losing both the set batsmen but Dhoni (61 not out) was his composed self as he guided the team to victory with 11 balls to spare.
The ageing Sanath Jayasuriya's 28th ODI century went in vain as the Indians never allowed the islanders to break loose on a slow track. Kumar Sangakkara contributed 44 as Sri Lanka posted 246 for seven wickets in their allotted 50 overs.
Both the teams now move to Colombo for the second match on Saturday. This was India's sixth ODI win in a row, coming after their 5-0 whitewash of England at home.

Esteban Gutierrez will not take part in qualifying for the Canadian GP after damaging his chassis in final practice.
The Sauber driver crashed out of FP3 after just 15 minutes when he lost control of his C33 on the entrance to Turn 4.
Smacking the wall at Turn 4, the rear left of his car was severally damaged.
Sauber later confirmed that the damage meant the Mexican racer will need to change chassis and he won't take part in the afternoon's qualifying.
The team tweeted: "Bad news: the team has to change the chassis. Esteban Gutierrez will not be able to take part in qualifying."

Unique ID: SWYOR-94C707
Object type certainty: Probably
Workflow status: Awaiting validation
A incomplete probable cast lead alloy token dating from about the Medieval period. It is a sub circular disc, decorated on both faces. The obverse shows a crudely formed short cross inside a central circle with pellet-shaped terminals and a single central pellet; there also to be one or two outer plain borders which appear to overlap each other, close to one edge. The reverse has complex but unidentified decoration. It has a cross potent at the top, a cross with pellet terminals at each side and what looks like a letter F on the left. There is also a triangular object on the right which is hatched with vertical lines, and a horizontal line across the top from which two semicircles project upwards. There also have vertical lines across them. The object has been worn and damaged; there is a sub rectangular hole through the flan, with a crack extending to the nearby outer edge; it has an uneven creamy brown and grey patina. Although the decoration on the reverse is unidentifiable, its style suggests a probable Medieval date (1200 - 1400).

Pharmaceutics International (Pii) has expanded its range of formulation and process development services with the addition of bioavailability boosting hot-melt extrusion (HME) capabilities.
The US contract manufacturing organisation (CMO) has purchased two Lititz twin screw extruders, which it said are suitable for pilot-scale production runs for Phase I and II clinical trials.
In a press statement company SVP Steve King said that the new capabilities are a useful addition to Pii's portfolio of bioavailability enhancing technologies, which include spray drying, solvent-based fluid bed processing, soft gels and liquid capsules.
Pii's investment, details of which were not disclosed, is the second manufacturing expansion the firm has undertaken this year. In May it added an MG2 G140 capsule filler to its oral manufacturing area.
At the time spokeswoman Elizabeth Hickman told Outsourcing-pharma.com the move was designed to cater for a specific commercial manufacturing contract and to further position Pii for growth.

text: I was curious to know how you guys are managing with these new restrictions regarding vaping in rental or shared living arrangements ? Some people say vape still smells like weed and some people don't. I'd like to move to San Diego from NYC for so many reasons but the smoking laws are freaking me out. How likely is it that I won't be discovered vaping in an uptight condo or apartment setting ? I am considering purchasing a volcano. I've never vaped weed before but I was impressed with the Nicotine Liquid...minus the fact that it got me sick. Otherwise I don't see vape vs smoke being an issue. Can anybody give me a heads up or assure me everything will be ok. Thanks for the help.

Making Marxism from Gandhi in Detroit
Part one of two in "Identity politics and left activism," a review of Grace Lee Boggs' 'The Next American Revolution'
By Immanuel Wallerstein
Senior Analyst, Yale University
The biggest internal debate absorbing the world left for at least the last 75 years has been whether identity is a left concept and therefore a left concern. In 1950, most activists on the left would have said no. Today, a majority would say yes, indeed. But the debate remains fierce. Grace Lee Boggs' life has been both a prime example of evolution on this issue, and a prime exponent of the legitimacy of making identity central to what she calls in the subtitle of this book "sustainable activism for the twenty-first century." Today in 2013, Grace is in her late nineties, and is a living legend of left activist politics.
I have now read this book twice — once to write a blurb for it and once to do this review. The more I read Grace's writings, the more I appreciate her invigorating wisdom. Danny Glover in his Foreword notes the composition of the very large crowd assembled in Detroit in 2009 to celebrate her 94th birthday. "That rainbow of all ethnicities and all ages is what this struggle is about. That's what Grace Boggs has been about all her life," Glover wrote.
Grace took a Ph.D. in philosophy and was immersed in Hegelian dialectics. Witnessing the multiple discriminations against Asian Americans, she became a Marxist and active in the so-called Johnson-Forest Tendency of the Workers Party — led by C.LR. James. She explains what attracted her, "unlike most radicals in that period, they emphasized the significance of the Negro struggle in the making of an American revolution." She found this way of discovering Marx and discussing the great revolutions of the past empowering because it focused "not so much on the oppression suffered by people at the bottom of the society, but on how they organized themselves and in the process advanced the whole society."
The group read early Marx texts carefully and decided that being a Marxist was not merely focusing on property relationships but also "on the spiritual as well as the physical misery of capitalism."
After 10 years of involvement with this group, she felt it was still too "stuck in the ideas they had derived mainly from the Russian Revolution." So she moved to Detroit and soon married Jimmy Boggs. Helped by Jimmy, she soon realized her ideas had come from books and had little relation to reality, a reality of fleeing industries and fleeing whites from Detroit. She and Jimmy became organizers of the Black Power movement in Detroit.
On July 20, 1967, an aggressive and intrusive police raid provoked a rebellion of young Black Detroiters. It was brutally suppressed but it led to the election in 1973 of a Black mayor, Coleman A. Young. He had been a left-wing union activist, and did end the racism in the city administration. But he could do nothing about the industrial decline of Detroit. Eventually, Young proposed the development of casino gambling as a new source of city income. When the Boggs duo successfully led a protest and defeated the proposal in a referendum, Young challenged them to offer an alternative. They realized they were actually faced with a great opportunity. "In its dying, Detroit could also be the birthplace of a new kind of city," said Boggs.
Building a new kind of city has been the Sisyphean task of Grace Lee Boggs ever since. Grace tells us of her gradual discovery of a long series of analysts who were more radical than she had realized. They include Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, John Dewey, and Paulo Freire.
This is not the usual list one associates with someone who claims to be a Marxist. Indeed, this list is precisely what has led other varieties of Marxists to insist that she is nothing but a middle-class reformist. So, if we are to understand her argument, we must look more closely at why she turns our attention to these figures.
Her views are anchored in the immediate realities of the poorest segments of the population in Detroit — what they need, what they have been doing, what they could do to survive, to improve their lives, and to contribute to "the next American revolution" — the title of her book.
When she discusses Gandhi, she does not point to his espousal of satyagraha as most persons do. She says Gandhi warned that our societies "would eventually become so gigantic and complex that human beings would be: reduced to masses, dependent on experts, serving machines instead of being served by them … They would end up being enslaved by the temptations of material wealth and luxuries, a form of bondage … even more cruel than physical enslavement." Furthermore, Boggs says Gandhi argued that the struggle for independence "should not be mainly a struggle for state power. It should revolve around going to people at the grassroots, helping them to transform their inner and outer lives in order to create self-reliant local communities."
This review appeared in the October 2013 issue of Monthly Review. Part two of the review will published in next week's Michigan Citizen.

LOS ALTOS, CA, June 26, 2013 — A small crowd huddled closely around Dr. Eben Alexander before his lecture last week at Sofia University in Palo Alto, hanging on his every word. This is not surprising given that this is a man whose extraordinary near-death experience just four years ago has given him insights that most people are more than anxious to hear about.
His message was clear and simple. You don't have to go to heaven - to die, or even nearly die - in order to gain the kind of life-transforming perspective that will change your life for the better here and now.
SEE RELATED: Sometimes doctors doing nothing is the best treatment for health
For Alexander, an M.D. and author of the New York Times bestselling book, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife, the most lasting takeaway from the week he spent in a coma was three-fold:
You are loved. You have nothing to fear. There is nothing you can do wrong.
This was pretty heady stuff, especially for someone who had always assumed that the brain – an organ that, in Alexander's case, had completely shut down due to a rare meningitis infection – was the source of consciousness.
"Pull the plug and the TV goes dead," he thought.
SEE RELATED: Study shows drugs losing effectiveness
But if this were true, then where did these ideas come from? What do they mean? Are they of any practical value?
Alexander characterizes these and other inspirations as "a direct extension" of divine consciousness itself – an assurance of "the true spiritual self that all of us are destined someday to recover;" an all-encompassing message from God that flooded him with "a vast and crazy sensation of relief."
In other words, heaven – a place perhaps akin to what nineteenth century religious reformer, Mary Baker Eddy, once described as "not a locality, but a divine state of Mind."
So how does the average Joe tune into these kinds of heavenly bulletins?
SEE RELATED: The most significant health study ever
"You must do the work," says Alexander. "At the end of the day, we each have to go deep into our own consciousness, through prayer or meditation, to access these truths."
What the individual does with these newly discovered truths is, of course, up to them.
For some, making such a connection with the Divine is simply a kick in the pants to be more compassionate, more patient, more forgiving. For others it is a much needed reminder that we can never be separated from God – a concept that Alexander refers to as "the single most important thing [he] ever learned;" the opposite of which he calls a "false suspicion" and "the root of every form of anxiety in the universe."
For others the impact is even more profound. This was the case for a local woman whose prayer-based realization of her "unbreakable connection to God" was instrumental in her complete recovery from a severely broken neck. This took place within a month and without surgery or any other medical intervention.
"Communicating with God is the most extraordinary experience imaginable," writes Alexander, "yet at the same time it's the most natural one of all."
Alexander's talk ended with perhaps the most important insight of them all: the unshakable conviction that "we are all deeply loved and cherished forever." In the moment of silence that followed, there was a sense that the good doctor's message was not just heard but that it was already having an effect on those who came looking for just such an assurance – a little slice of heaven, if you will, here on earth.
Eric Nelson's columns on the link between consciousness and health appear regularly in a number of local, regional, and national online publications. He also serves as the media and legislative spokesperson for Christian Science in Northern California.

How to deal with the old/experienced nurses?! - page 2
Hello! I m a new RN on A med-surge floor and most of my co-workers are old nurses that have been on that floor for years! They don't seem to like me and i have NO idea why! I am a quiet person. I mean i like to socialize but I... Read More
- 6Dec 30, '12 by rita359You are the newest member of this staff and are young. I don't know how old other members of the staff are but it seems you have come into a unit that has its own culture. If you give it time you will figure out most of that culture. There will be things you agree with and things you do not agree with. You may be able to find one or more older nurses you can safely ask questions of. Use these people. If it is things that are done the way they used to be done but aren't evidence based etc. you can figure out how to address these things without making these nurses feel put down but educated. This is part of learning to work with other people which you will be doing throughout your professional life.
- 12Dec 30, '12 by subeeTothe OP- it's med-surg. There is no "e" in surgical. I'm 65 and still working. Correcting poor grammer and spelling is about as grouchy as I get. I was so lucky, as a new grad, to go to a floor where all of the nurses who worked there chose to work on a teaching floor and went out of their way to help us orientees learn the ropes. I don't know why so many nurses are so ignorant and ill-tempered. Yeah, I wish my 401K didn't crash but that has nothing to do with you. I wish all hospitals had "orientation floors" where you could feel a part of the team from the getgo before being discharged to work on your ultimate unit. Just remember how you felt when it's your turn to usher in a new grad into the profession.
- 2Dec 30, '12 by porkey2Quote from Anna-sIm an older person but a brand new nurse and Im sorry but maybe its just me, but I don't see why anyone should have to put up with this crap. You are grown just like they are, you a professional just like they are; if they are burnt out or tired of nursing, then they need to move on and stop making eveyone else life around them miserable! Im not sure if maybe they feel threatened or whatever the case maybe they need to remain professional at work, this isn't some social gathering. I use to work for a large company before I went back to school for nursing and that was the most miserable/bitter group of women I had ever come in contact with; but I went in did my job, killed them with kindness and went home. Now I realize that nursing is a team effort, not sure why they are ignoring your questions or yelling but if you can't get answers from them, can you perhaps ask your nm, this is ridiculous and petty.Hello!
I m a new RN on A med-surge floor and most of my co-workers are old nurses that have been on that floor for years! They don't seem to like me and i have NO idea why! I am a quiet person. I mean i like to socialize but I am not that loud person ( because I still feel a stranger to the floor). Anyways some of them ignore me if I ask a question, others yell at me for the smallest mistakes ( one yelled at me cause I didn't change the NS bag that was good for another 3hours and even tho I put a new bag in the room, she wanted it change) i am nice to them! I try to talk and use humour but most of them just give me the look and roll their eye!
How should I treat them or deal with them?
My nm has a sign on her door that says "save the drama for your mama". The job is hard enough without coworkers making it that much harder. What type of person is your nm, maybe she can weigh in on this. Not that you should rat your coworkers out, but you are there for the good of your patient and if the pettiness is interferring with that, then it should be brought up to the nm; also if you can find other coworkers to talk to like someone else mentioned, I would ignore them. Good luck and keep us posted. Of course, once you get experienced, you can always find another unit to work on.
- 9Dec 30, '12 by portclI work on an oncology unit and we get very attached to our patients and doctors. It is hard when new nurses come in and think they know everything and show no humbleness or respect for the environment that we have built. It is also true that most nurses just starting out on our unit won't last past 90 days because of the emotional aspect of what we do. When new nurses show up, I am not rude or disrespectful to them, but I don't open my arms to them either. When they last past 90 days and they get in the trenches with us and care for the patients the way that they should, then we start to warm up. When you attend your first memorial service for a dear patient and you show up the next day to do it all over again, then you are no longer the new nurse.
My point is, learn what these nurses respect and show them that you have it. Keep quiet and observe. Find the ones that are just negative versus those that are being cautious. You don't want them judging you without knowing you, so don't judge them without knowing them. They have seen many "new" nurses in their years of service and one day you too will have seen your share of "newbies" and will have much better insight. Till then, hold your chin up and hang in there...
- 12Dec 30, '12 by somenurseTo the OP, really sorry you are having a hard time. I think the others who are urging you to "kill them with kindness" and/or go for more professional relationships for now, seem to have good ideas.
i also wanted to be one voice on this thread, to stand up for us old broads. I'm probably what you'd call "old". I am friendliest, most outgoing, compassionate person you'll ever trip over.
I've had some snotty rude, burnt out, grouchy coworkers who were super young,
some awesome, giving, hard working, helpful, kind coworkers with gray hair.
I just personally rather dislike seeing any group of people all lumped together as "all just the same/homogenous".
It's also hard to believe you are only person who is not old on your unit, but, whatever.
I'd also like to suggest,
that even though most humans tend to connect better socially with their own age group,
that in nursing,
it might not be so much the old adage "Nurses eat their own young"
but instead,
"Nurses eat their own NEW employees."
I'm older, and have traveled extensively, which results in my often being a new employee............ and i sometimes encounter coworkers, of ALL age groups, who seem unfriendly initially,
even though i am standing there with a gray stripe of hair and decades of experience. It's cuz i am NEW there, a stranger to them,
not cuz i am a new RN,
nor am i young. NOt everyone is friendly by nature like i am, not everyone warms up easily to strangers,
of any age.
I've stood witness to what you are describing happen to
"new to that hospital" nurses, too. It's not always about the new nurse's age,
it's sometimes just cuz this new person is a stranger to them.
Still, i'd like to see more nurses watch out for those who are new in nursing, of any age,
and needing support, and do what they can to lend some support, and help the newbies feel welcome.
BEST OF LUCK!! hang in there, it usually gets better, once they get to know you and get used to you.Last edit by somenurse on Dec 30, '12
- 0Dec 30, '12 by PedsRNCaraIt would seem that your presence threatens them. There has to be a balance. There can never be all "old nurses" or all "new nurses". It will benefit patients more to have both ends of the spectrum there to help them.
- 9Dec 30, '12 by somenursePS---to the OP,
now, i might get slammed here,
but, what i've found sometimes helps, when i am new to a facility, is watch out for times my 'new-but-still-unfriendly' coworker is twirling around the drain.
yes, even us old broads can have moments we are jacked up busy and could use a hand.
when i spot the time the "N.B.S.U" (new-but-still-unfriendly) coworker is in need, i step forward and offer some help. "I'll get that bell for you, okay?" or "Can i do that for you, you look like all your patients are mashing on their bells all at once." or whatever. Always kinda get some kind of 'ok' from the N.B.S.U coworker, too.
this has helped me thaw out some N.B.S.U coworkers, IS, REACHING OUT WHEN THEY ARE JAMMED UP,
might be worth a try. GOOD LUCK!!
- 3Dec 30, '12 by vivereDon't take it personally. If you ask a question and no one answers, it may be that they don't know the correct answer, and don't want to lead you wrong. It takes a good year to feel comfortable enough to think of yourself as a nurse, and it will be a lifetime of learning after that first year. You are right not to socialize much. Be polite, cordial, but I would caution you against becoming personal - I realize this may be an unpopular view, but in my experience, familiarity breeds contempt. Let them get to know you on the job and keep your personal life to yourself at this time. Old nurses .....I am one. I am frequently tired, have aches and pains in strange places and not much of a social life. Be happy. Continue to be nice, and use humour, it will serve you well in your career. And lastly, learn from these crones....LOL> As new people come on board, be the go-to girl. Be the one who they feel comfortable enough to go to for help, answers and assistance. I predict a great career for you.
- 1Dec 30, '12 by vivereGreat post, Jean Marie. Some things I hadn't thought of.....sometimes we are more cautious of new folks until they prove themselves to be "sane".....we have had more than one new employee come on board and welcomed them heartily, only to be faced with terminating them when they proved to be dishonest, or just plain cuckoo. It is great advice, just to hang in there....
- 3Dec 30, '12 by canoeheadI have it on good authority that you can soften RubyVee up with chocolate. I prefer pizza myself. Ask them about their grandkids, it usually helps. If you decide to stand up for yourself in some situation do it gently so you make allies, not enemies. You have every right to develop your own style, within what hospital policy allows. Try to catch them giving you good advice, and thank them- try to teach them how to treat you.
Unfortunately there's always one or two battleaxes in every crowd. It's hard being new, and even harder when you don't have experience to boost your self confidence. I hope you have one or two good teachers in the mix too.

Breathtaking beauty Jamie from X-Art.com gets wet and naked in a pool by the ocean to display why she is the perfect glamour babe. I really can't think of any better way to describe her than as absolute perfection. She is simply stunning and when she stares at you with those big trusting doe-eyes it is impossible to look away. Seriously Jamie my dear, I really would like to ogle your gorgeous body for a while. From what I can see in my peripheral it is a superb example of female physicality, but I can't focus on it when you force me to gaze back into your irresistible pale green eyes.
You know you are phenomenally gorgeous when you can't get guys to stare at your smoking hot nude body because they are too busy taking in every little freckle on your beautifully innocent face. She certainly possesses myriad aspects of feminine sex appeal, such as her amazing apple-sized breasts and slender little waist. All things that are worthy of much appreciation and should captivate the imagination, yet this tall brunette overwhelms onlookers with a natural allure that draws eyes ever upward to her angelic face.
For pure breathtaking beauty such as delivered here by perfect glamour babe Jamie then take the X-Art.com free tour, this is their speciality.

Really enjoyed this informative walking tour around Montmarte. If you are interested in this area of Paris this is the way to get a real feel of how life was and is now
claudia A., USA
This is the second time I've taken this tour and loved it!!! I took my husband this time and he enjoyed it too!! Kit was our tour guide and gave the tour a different twist to Paul's (first tour guide). I enjoyed both tours very much and recommend it to anyone visiting paris as a must do:-) . Both guides are very professional and informative.
