Added Apr 2, 2013
Montreal, Canada
I am attending an indoor-outdoor daytime event in a town famous for severe humidity. I need a dress that is light and heavy in order to widthstand the steaming heat and the chill of air-conditioning. The attire is dressy-casual. This does not mean semi-formal which has an evening feel or business-casual which makes me think of dockers and shoes with no socks. I have decided to make the Burda Boucle Dress for the occasion. Last week I bought a beautiful charcoal multicolored tweed on sale. Notions are on sale later this week. I can't wait to cut and sew up my dress in order to show it off step-by-step.
A) In my opinion, a boucle fabric may work nicely but a fun tweed seems more suitable for this design.
B) Paragraph 2 of the sewing instructions needs line-by-line illustrations. This is the extensively detailed construction of the most visible part of the dress.
C) I recommend shoring up the edges of the smaller pieces so the tweed doesn't unravel as much. An overlock around edges eased my mind.
I made a matching day clutch purse to go with my outfit.
Thanks, Burda.
Pattern Note: Burda, I find the Boucle Dress pattern incomplete at the neckline and collar but as a learning intermediate I managed to make it work with a few additions and my mother's expert advice. Please don't forget your home sewing clientele. We love high fashion as much as designers do. Keep the new patterns coming…and I loved getting a free bonus pattern for my 3 online purchases.

Thanks for your post, I started this dress and at the very beginning I'm lost your picture was a big help. Please keep posting.
This is my first time posting, I saw the lighting bolt symbol & thought it was used to post to your comment, but what came up was "Marked as inappropriate" and I can't turn it off. I hope this will not cause any issues.
Thanks for your post at the right time

Unseen before now: Steve Jobs unveils the Mac to the public for the first time
The Mac had already been shown off to Apple employees, analysts and the press in the fall of 1983, and the 1984 ad broadcast during the Super Bowl in January made a big public splash. But it wasn't until January 30, 1984 that Steve Jobs and other members of the Macintosh team would show the new computer to the public - specifically, a gathering of the Boston Computer Society (BCS). Harry McCracken has all the details over at Time, including a video that's worth watching.
Jobs is joined on stage by Bill Atkinson, Steve Capps and others, including Steve Wozniak, for a lengthy Q&A after his presentation. It's quite a long session - an hour and a half from start to finish.
Check out Harry's article for some context: He shares the story behind the unveiling, what it took to get Jobs and company out there, and how this rare bit of video was unearthed and pieced together. A really fascinating and unique bit of Apple history that we can all enjoy now.

- 3Aug 13, '10 by BirryDr. Arafiles persuaded the county sheriff, Robert L. Roberts Jr., a personal friend and patient, to investigate who had filed the complaint.
And the sheriff and DA should both be investigated, as well.
- 7Aug 13, '10 by PhotoNurseMan$750,000 or even $1,000,000 is not enough to compensate for the career one person let alone two. Yes they have some vindication but even with that it will send a message for the rest of us to keep quiet or else. For a few years now politicians have been yammering on trying to change the public sentiment toward large civil penalties in court cases. Who here think these two people were adequately compensated or if the settlement was large enough to discourage large bureaucratic organizations from ruining other peoples lives for trying to do the right thing. I would feel better if it was $10,000,000.
- 5Aug 14, '10 by belgarionQuote from Suethestudent"The nurses will split at nearly $1,000,000 settlement"Quote from SuethestudentWow... I thought $750,000 was 75% of $1,000,000 not nearly $1m. That is some rounding up, and makes it sound like these two brave nurses won the lottery. They may never work in their chosen field again, so $375,000 each is probably less than 5-7 years pay.
What an utter disgrace.
After paying off legal fees and taxes they will probably end up with much less than that.
As for "letting the sheriff go", sheriffs in Texas are elected, not hired. While the county commisioners might remove one from office under certain circumstances, the same person might very well run in the next election and get elected. Remember, this is the state where an entire cemetary woke long up enough to cast a vote for LBJ in a senate election.
Hate to say it but, even though vindicated, the nurses may still end up losing.

Wow... I thought $750,000 was 75% of $1,000,000 not nearly $1m. That is some rounding up, and makes it sound like these two brave nurses won the lottery. They may never work in their chosen field again, so $375,000 each is probably less than 5-7 years pay.
What an utter disgrace.
"Ms. Mitchell, 53, said in an interview that she was glad to put the case behind her. 'Well be able to move on with our lives,' she said. 'We never thought wed be in this situation at this stage, when we should be settling down and looking toward retirement.' "
Also, why wouldn't they work in nursing again? Because they can't or you just don't think they'd want to?
- 0Aug 19, '10 by JoanJuxtaposedHaha, looked him up on vitals.com and was amused yet unsurprised by his rating:
- 3Aug 19, '10 by cherryames1949Joan, those are honest questions. I will answer as if they were asked of me. I know that it sounds like a lot of money but 375,000 dollars @ 50,000 dollars a year will only last 8 years. Work in the medical field will be difficult if not impossible for these two. They will have a reputation as troublemakers. This will follow them forever - professionally, financially, and emotionally.

How many parcels and acres are in Butte County's Land Conservation Act Program? As of 2011, 1,450 parcels and 218,695 acres. Butte County participates in the State of California Land Conservation Act agricultural land preservation program. The purpose of the Act is to preserve agricultural and open space lands by discouraging premature and unnecessary conversion to urban uses. Williamson Act contracts are established between the landowner and the County.
The Williamson Act contract influences a landowner's ability to use, subdivide or separately sell any parcel of land subject to the contract. Subdividing or selling a parcel under the Williamson Act that does not comply with the minimum parcel size required by the County's Williamson Act Program, or using property in a manner not compatible with the Williamson Act has serious consequences.
Development of divided or sold property subject to the Williamson Act contract could be considered a breach of the contract. This could result in contract non-renewal and related increase in the property tax rate. A material breach of contract, as specified under Government Code Section 51250 (b), can result in a monetary penalty up to 25 percent of the unrestricted fair market value of the land, plus 25 percent of the value of any incompatible building and related improvements on the contracted land.
For additional information on the Williamson Act program, go to the following California State Department of Conservation website: http://www.consrv.ca.gov/DLRP/lca/index.htm. It is important for landowners subject to a Williamson Act contract to understand the terms of the contract and consequences of non-compliance. Should you have any questions about land potentially under Williamson Act contract, please contact the Butte County Department of Development Services at 530.538.7601.

A method and device for training persons to remain within a safety zone. An emitter establishes a safety zone that is not to be exceeded by the person, and an adjuster may be operatively connected to the emitter to adjust the size and position of the safety zone. A sensor is placed away from the emitter to indicate when the person moves outside of the safety zone. The method comprises activating the emitter and positioning the person within the safety zone. When the person nears the signal or exits the safety zone, an alarm is indicated to the person and/or a facilitator. Upon return to the safety zone, the alarm may be deactivated and the training procedure within the safety zone can continue.
1. A system for training firefighters to remain below a heat critical vertical boundary, the system comprising:
an emitter configured to establish a height limit, the emitter emitting a single signal;
a vertical support member adapted to establish the height limit at the vertical boundary; and
a wearable sensor configured to emit an alarm signal responsive to its intrusion above the vertical boundary, the sensor positioned to face towards the emitter when the firefighter is in a crawling or prone position;
wherein the emitter is adapted to turn 360� about the vertical support member to establish the vertical boundary around a 360� axis to replicate a heat critical vertical boundary to train firefighters;
the emitter and the vertical support configured to steadily move the vertical boundary downward while the emitter is rotating during a training exercise from a first vertical level to a lower second vertical level to replicate movement of the heat critical vertical boundary caused by smoke and heat that accumulates during a fire.

6. A method for training firefighters to remain below a heat critical vertical boundary, the system comprising:
attaching an emitter that emits a signal in one direction to a vertical support member;
rotating the emitter through 360� about the vertical support member with the signal forming a substantially continuous signal at the vertical boundary to replicate a heat critical vertical boundary;
replicating an accumulation of smoke and heat that occurs during a fire and moving the rotating emitter downward and thereby also moving the vertical boundary downward and reducing a size of a safety zone formed vertically below the vertical boundary; and
providing a wearable sensor positioned to face towards the emitter when the firefighter is in a crawling or prone position, the sensor configured to emit an alarm signal responsive to its intrusion out of the safety zone and above the vertical boundary to indicate that the firefighter has moved to an unsafe position above the heat critical vertical boundary.

10. A method for training firefighters to remain below a heat critical vertical boundary, the system comprising:
positioning in a room an emitter that emits a signal in one direction;
creating a boundary at a first vertical distance above a floor of the room by rotating the emitter through 360� with the signal forming a substantially continuous signal, the boundary at the first vertical distance above the floor replicating a heat critical boundary at a first stage of a fire caused by smoke and heat in the room;
continuously lowering the rotating emitter and the boundary towards the floor of the room below the first vertical distance and replicating the accumulation of the smoke and heat that build up in the room at later stages of the fire; and
providing a wearable sensor positioned to face towards the emitter when the firefighter is in a crawling or prone position, the sensor configured to emit an alarm signal responsive to its intrusion above the boundary to indicate that the firefighter has moved to an unsafe position that occurs during the fire.
Military personnel, police officers, and others, generally referred to as trainees, are taught to remain low when involved in various situations. Their respective safety zones are at levels close to the ground or floor. Training devices and methods are needed to teach these individuals to stay within their safety zones and out of potential harm.
Military personnel and police officers have safety zones low to the floor where there is less chance that a bullet will strike them. Likewise, the safety zone for a firefighter is near the floor. When a fire starts within a structure, smoke and heat are created that rise and accumulate in the ceiling areas. During the early stages of the fire, the unsafe levels of smoke and heat remain at the upper levels of the structure. As the fire increases, the amount of smoke and heat increases pushing the unsafe levels to lower regions. As the fire continues, the smoke and heat increases until the entire structure is filled to unsafe levels.
Methods and devices for training are necessary so persons know how to respond when they are introduced into these environments. The training methods and devices should be effective to teach persons to remain in a low or crouched position when entering a potentially dangerous situation. This will re-enforce the importance of keeping themselves out of unsafe areas. The training method and device should be adaptable to cover a variety of vertical and horizontal safety zones. Additionally, the training method and device should also be adaptable to teaching other unsafe areas and zones that may be at various orientations including perpendicular to a floor, at an angle to a floor, at upper reaches of an area, etc.
Further, the device and method may be portable to be used at a variety of different training facilities. The device can be shared by various different personnel. The portability and adaptability of the system would provide for a cost-effective training method for teaching a large number of trainees.
The present invention is directed to a device and method for training persons to remain within a safety zone. A safety zone is established by one or more signals. Additionally, walls and floors of the testing location may further be used to establish the boundaries of the safety zone. One or more persons are positioned within the safety zone. In one embodiment, the persons are instructed to perform various training exercises. The training continues as the person or persons remain within the safety zone. If the persons exits the safety zone, an alarm is activated.
The present invention is directed to a method and device for teaching trainees to remain within a safety zone. As illustrated in
The emitter 20 transmits a signal 22 that establishes at least one boundary of the safety zone 80. As illustrated in
Emitter 20 can be configured as a rotating or oscillating �emitter head� such that signal 22 is emitted over a desired range of angles. A motor 63 provides for rotating or oscillating the emitter 20. By way of non-limiting example, emitter 20 can be configured to rotate around a vertical axis such that signal 22 is emitted over a desired angular range of a horizontal detection plane, e.g., 360�. Of course, the axis of rotation of emitter 20 can be varied to form vertical detection planes or detection planes at off-horizontal and off-vertical angles as needed or desired, and multiple emitters 20 can be used to establish multiple detection planes.
Thus, in an exemplary embodiment, emitter 20 is positioned on adjuster 40 at a desired height above a floor, for example, and then activated such that it transmits signal 22 over a 360� range, thereby forming a detection plane at a desired height above the floor. A trainee, such as a firefighter trainee, wearing a sensor 30 on his or her back would thus avoid �tripping� an alarm by staying below the height of the detection plane as defined by signal 22. To facilitate setting the detection plane height, adjuster 40 may be marked with preset heights and/or emitter 20 can be programmed to move to preset or default positions along the length of adjuster 40. In general, adjuster 40 can be marked in units of distance, e.g., inches/feet and/or centimeters/meters, to facilitate the positioning of emitter 20 along the length of adjuster 40.
In one embodiment, then, emitter 20 includes at least one optical emitter, such as a laser diode or high-intensity LED. A laser diode offers the advantage of narrower beam angles and the ability to use collimating lenses for generation of a tightly focused signal 22, with the attendant advantage of providing higher optical power levels to sensors 30 at greater distances from emitter 20 than would be provided by the typical LED. However, so-called �focused� or high-intensity LEDs are commonly available and offer good detection performance out to reasonable distances from emitter 20. The use of LEDs for signal generator 21 offer the further advantages of inherent eye safety, cheaper cost, lower power, and longer life as compared to using true laser diodes. Note that even with use of a laser diode, rotating the emitter 20 and/or pulsing signal generator 21 ensures eye safety with respect to radiated emissions from emitter 20.
As an alternative to rotating emitter 20, signal generator 21 can comprise an array of emitters that are arrayed over a desired angular sector. For example, signal generator 21 might comprise a plurality of optical emitters positioned at 10� angular increments, or at some other desired angular resolution. Whether emitter 20 is fixed or rotating, the optical emitters used in signal generator 21 may operate in visible or non-visible bandwidths. For example, signal generator 21 may operate in the infrared wavelengths, which may offer lower absorption of signal 22 if training is conducted in simulated fire conditions, e.g., smoke, fog, etc.
Regardless, sensor 30 may be configured to include one or more complementary optical sensors to sense signal 22, such as photovoltaic sensors, photodiodes, phototransistors, etc. The particular selection of sensor type may be matched according to the selected configuration of signal generator 21, e.g., the wavelength of signal 22, the expected range of received optical power, etc. In an exemplary embodiment, sensor 30 comprises one or more arrays of optical sensors, such as a plurality of photodiodes. Thus, by mounting one or more sensors 30 to a trainee, or to the trainee's equipment, the trainee may assume a crawling or crouched position below the height of a detection plane established by signal 22, and one or more sensors 30 mounted to the trainee or to the trainee's equipment thus can be used to detect when the trainee violates the detection plane based on one or more of trainee's sensors 30 breaking the detection plane.
The idea can be varied by, for example, mounting one or more sensors 30 not on the trainee but rather on a wall or other structure. The detection logic thus can be altered such that receipt of signal 22 is the non-alarm (normal) condition. With that logic, an alarm condition is generated if the trainee moves into a position that obscures signal 22, i.e., blocks one or more sensors 30 from receiving signal 22. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that variety of detection methods that can be employed depending on the number and arrangement of sensors 30, and the number and arrangement of emitters 20.
Redirecting elements 25 may be placed to redirect the signal 22 and extend the extent of the safety zone 80. The redirecting elements 25 are spaced away from the emitter 20 as illustrated in
The adjuster 40 supports and positions the emitter 20. In one embodiment, adjuster 40 establishes the vertical position of the emitter 20 and the safety zone 80 is set at a predetermined vertical height above the floor. Adjustment of the emitter 20 changes the dimensions of the safety zone 80. In one embodiment as illustrated in
A remote control unit 60 may also be positioned within the emitter 20 to remotely adjust the position. A facilitator positioned away from the emitter 20 or away from the safety zone 80 may adjust the position of the emitter 20 during the training exercise. The remote control unit 60 may function using radio signals, infra-red signals, or other remote means.
The method may include establishing safety zones 80 of various sizes and dimensions depending upon the training technique. In one embodiment as illustrated in
Sensor 30 is positioned a distance from the emitter 20 and receives the signal 22 when the trainee moves from the safety zone 80.
Regardless, sensor 30 is configured to respond to the presence (or absence) of signal 22 such that the alarm 34 can be made responsive to the detection state of sensor 30. In that role, the alarm 34 is operatively connected to the receiver 32 and notifies the trainee that they have moved out of the safety zone 80. Various types of alarms 34 may be used including by way of example an audible alarm that is heard by at least the trainee, or a vibrating alarm that can be felt by the trainee. The alarm 34 may be detected by the trainee, by the facilitator, or both. The alarm 34 may have a variety of settings once it has been activated including deactivating once the signal 22 is no longer detected by the receiver 32 (i.e., when the trainee has moved away from the signal 22), remaining activated for a predetermine time after the signal 22 is no longer detected, or remaining activated indefinitely until positively deactivated by the trainee or facilitator.
In one embodiment, alarm 34 is removed from the sensor 30. The alarm 34 may be remotely located with the facilitator so the facilitator can detect when the safety zone 80 is violated, but not necessarily the trainee. An alarm 34 may be associated with each sensor 30, or multiple sensors 30 can activate a common alarm 34. The link between the sensor 30 and alarm 34 may be RF-based.
Sensor 30 may be positioned at a variety of locations on the trainee. As illustrated in
The sensor 30 remains active and senses any movement of the trainee that places the sensor 30 within a position to receive the signal 22 (step 606). This position may require the sensor 30 to break through the location of the signal 22, or merely come within proximity to the signal 22. Once the sensor 30 has received the signal 22, the alarm 34 is activated (step 608). Activation of the alarm 34 may be signaled to one or more of the trainee, other trainees, and the facilitator.
In the embodiment of
The alarm 34 remains deactivated as the trainee remains within the safety zone 80 and the training method continues (step 614). As the testing continues, the sensor 30 monitors the position of the trainee to ensure he or she remains within the safety zone (step 616). Once the training procedure is complete, the sensor 30 and emitter 20 can be deactivated (step 618).
In the embodiments described above, the sensor 30 is worn by the trainee.
The present invention may be carried out in other specific ways than those herein set forth without departing from the scope and essential characteristics of the invention. In one embodiment, two or more emitters 20 are positioned to create the safety zone 80. The multiple emitters 20 may be operatively connected together, or may be separate and independent units. In another embodiment, the safety zone is designed for monitoring the location of children. The alarm remains deactivated when the children remain within the safety zone 80, but activates at the time when a child leaves the safety zone 80. The present embodiments are, therefore, to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and all changes coming within the meaning and equivalency range of the appended claims are intended to be embraced therein.

It also assists the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network for the Brickyard 400, where their staffers work both races. This is in contrast to other NASCAR events (operated by ISC, Dover Motorsports, and the Mattioli family), which are broadcast by ISC-controlled Motor Racing Network. PRN and MRN on most occasions share the same radio affiliates (IMS also, although PRN jointly produces the IMS race) in order to broadcast a complete NASCAR schedule.
Performance Racing Network's schedule includes the following:
- Fast Talk: Doug Rice hosts the show with a rotating host, usually a driver. The driver co-hosts include Kyle Petty, John Andretti, Kenny Wallace,[1] Jeff Hammond and Phil Parsons. The rotating host format was adopted after the death of Benny Parsons, who had hosted the show during the first 14 seasons. It is a call-in show that airs Mondays at 7 PM Eastern Time. Fast Talk is heard on 220 stations, fifty-two weeks a year.
- Garage Pass: Mark Garrow[1] and Steve Richards (substitute) anchor this four-minute NASCAR news program. Garage Pass is heard on 450 stations across the USA. The program was created by Garrow in 1986 under the name "Winston Cup USA" and ran on a handful of stations for one year. In 1987, Garrow partnered with Capitol Sports Network in Raleigh, North Carolina to network and sell the program. The name was changed to "Winston Cup Today" and grew to approximately 480 stations at its peak. Richards produced the program, served as substitute host and covered the majority of the scheduled NASCAR events. Midway into the 1999 season the show was ended by Capitol Broadcasting when NASCAR demanded rights fees for the use of audio originating from the racetrack. In 2000, Garrow partner with Performance Racing Network as the show was resurrected and renamed "Garagepass" as the rights fee issue was settled. 2011 marks the 25th year Mark Garrow has produced a daily NASCAR news program. Steve Richards, who began his radio career in 1977, has been covering the sport on a full-time basis for about 15 years, and before that on a part-time basis from 1985. He also covered Duke, NC State and University of North Carolina basketball and football from 1986 until the mid-nineties for WRAL-FM and the North Carolina News Network. Richards produced and anchored the scoreboard shows on the Duke and NC State football networks.
- O'Reilly Auto Parts Pit Reporters: Brett McMillan hosts a panel-driven show with journalists discussing the issues of the week in NASCAR Racing, primarily in the Sprint Cup. Other forms of racing are occasionally talked about if the news is important enough.
- ZMax Racing Country: A weekly, two-hour country music-oriented program hosted by WKKT morning disc jockey Paul Schadt along with Cathy Martindale, with news from both country music and NASCAR. Top country artists and NASCAR drivers are featured in interviews as are a rundown of the week's popular country songs. This is a 52-week program (no off-season breaks). The program dates back to 1989 and was formerly known as NASCAR Country before losing the rights to the NASCAR name circa 2000. Its slogan is the two fastest hours on the radio.
All Performance Racing Network shows with the exception of the pre and post race shows originate from Performance Racing Network's studios at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
All Performance Racing Network race broadcasts are available via the NASCAR Radio channel on Sirius XM Radio via both Sirius Satellite radio and XM Radio's "Best of Sirius" package. Fast Talk is also carried on SIRIUS NASCAR Radio on Wednesdays at 10PM EST. Fast Talk, The O'Reilly Pit Reporters and Garage Pass can all be heard online at goprn.com

India and Japan: a confluence of interestsPosted: 28/05/2013 Filed under: Geo-economics, Sanjaya Baru | Tags: ASEAN, China, Indo-Pacific, Manmohan Singh, New Delhi, NPT, Shinzo Abe, Tokyo Leave a comment
By Dr Sanjaya Baru, Director for Geo-economics and Strategy
India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh arrives in Tokyo this week for what may well be his most important foreign visit in his second term in office. The visit's importance derives as much from the particular economic interests of India and Japan, as both economies seek to boost growth, trade and investment, as it does from the realisation that they must work together to temper China's 'new assertiveness' in its neighbourhood.
Confluence of the two seas
After a gap of nearly six years, there may once again be a meeting of minds between Prime Minister Singh and his host, Japan's bold 'new' leader Shinzo Abe, who, during his first term in office in 2006–07, took the initiative to seek a 'new relationship' with India.
On a visit in August 2007, he told the Indian Parliament that Japan had 'rediscovered' India 'as a partner that shares the same values and interests and also as a friend that will work alongside us to enrich the seas of freedom and prosperity, which will be open and transparent to all'.
Rio's man takes WTO reinsPosted: 15/05/2013 Filed under: Geo-economics, Sanjaya Baru | Tags: multilateralism, regional trade agreements, regionalism, Roberto Azevedo, Word Trade Organisation, WTO Leave a comment
Sanjaya Baru's most recent column in the Indian Express focuses on Brazil's Roberto Carvalho de Azevedo, who has just been announced as the next director general of the World Trade Organisation (WTO). Azevedo will be the first Latin American in the job when he takes over from Pascal Lamy on 1 September.
Baru, the IISS director for geo-economics, says that the media stereotyped the Brazilian Azevedo as the voice of protectionism and of the global south in his race for the job against Mexico's Herminio Blanco. But the full picture is much more complex.
Avoiding the resource cursePosted: 22/03/2013 Filed under: Elly Jupp, Geo-economics | Tags: Africa, Angola, Canada, DRC, Dutch disease, Nigeria, Norway, oil production, resource curse, Russia, transparency Leave a comment
By Elly Jupp, Research Associate, IISS-Middle East
Today Economist readers voted in the newspaper's latest debate that Africa's rise is real. But the margin was 'surprisingly narrow'. This is a resource-rich continent where economic growth has often been hampered by corruption and poor governance. Indeed, countries such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria and Uganda have all at times faced what is commonly called 'the resource curse', where the discovery and sale of oil or valuable minerals benefits only a small percentage of the population, and dominates the economy to the detriment of other industries.
In such situations, an influx of foreign investments can push up the value of the local currency, making other exports uncompetitive and depressing the wider economy. The jobs created for local people in resource-extraction tend to be relatively few and low-skilled, with the processing and manufacturing of the raw product moved abroad. Exporters are also vulnerable to the vagaries of the commodities markets, whose violent price swings affect the poorest hardest and make growth unsustainable. Sometimes the profits from commodities simply disappear into the pockets of kleptocratic regimes.
Decoding Manmohan Singh's red linesPosted: 24/01/2013 Filed under: Geo-economics, Sanjaya Baru, South Asia | Tags: foreign policy, India, LoC incident, Manmohan Singh, national security, Pakistan Leave a comment
By Dr Sanjaya Baru, Director for Geo-economics and Strategy
Many eyebrows were raised in Delhi and around the world when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh asserted that 'it cannot be business as usual' with Pakistan after the recent incident on the Line of Control (LoC). Because these remarks came after the National Security Adviser briefed opposition leaders about the government's approach to the issue, the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha took credit for the prime minister's tough stance, while welcoming it. However, it has since become clear that Singh was adopting a more nuanced approach, not the sledgehammer response that the Bharatiya Janata Party and hotheads in the media were seeking.
The many expressions of surprise, accompanied by gratuitous remarks about Singh's 'uncharacteristic' toughness, ignore the fact that on vital national-security and foreign-policy issues, the prime minister has always drawn red lines and stuck to them. These red lines have been drawn both with respect to political parties and ministerial colleagues at home and foreign governments. When it comes to foreign policy, Singh has jealously guarded prime ministerial turf and defended the national interest.
The union at Europe's heart is frayedPosted: 22/01/2013 Filed under: Europe, Francois Heisbourg, Geo-economics | Tags: Angela Merkel, Elysee Treaty, European Union, eurozone crisis, Franco-German partnership, Francois Hollande, Libya, mali Leave a comment
Today is the fiftieth anniversary of the Elysee Treaty – the document signed by Paris and Berlin in an attempt to turn two hostile neighbours and rivals into allies, and to ultimately lay the groundwork for the European Union. As IISS Chairman Francois Heisbourg points out in the Financial Times, it comes at a time of strain in the Franco-German partnership.
France's Le Monde newspaper has already been very dismissive about the scheduled joint session of the French and German parliaments in Berlin's Reichstag building today. Heisbourg writes that: 'From the eurozone crisis to intervention in Libya and Mali, and the failed merger of EADS and BAE Systems, the differences and tensions between Paris and Berlin are palpable.'
He admits that shaping a joint strategic future takes time, but says that France and Germany have recently lost the will to overcome other national differences – a process aided by their shifting relative strength, the expansion of the EU, and the arrival of a new generation of leaders 'who no longer carry the historical baggage of the founding fathers'.
Yet the factor that could now have the biggest impact on France and Germany's partnership is a third player: Britain.

Setting the agenda for Russia's G20 presidencyPosted: 07/01/2013 Filed under: Geo-economics, Russia and Eurasia, Samuel Charap, Sanjaya Baru | Tags: Council on Foreign Relations, G20, G20 presidency, Russia Leave a comment
Russia has assumed the helm of the G20 forum of leading economies at a time of concern that the group – so decisive in the wake of 2008 global financial crisis – is in danger of losing its way. What can Moscow do during its year-long presidency to help restore the group's credibility?
Colleagues at the Council on Foreign Relations have canvassed opinion, 'hoping to assist the government of Russia in defining priorities'. As part of its Council of Councils initiative, which includes the IISS, the CFR has published a collection of policy 'memos'; one comes from Sanjaya Baru, IISS director for Geo-economics and Strategy, and Samuel Charap, our senior fellow for Russia and Eurasia.
In 'Russia and the G20′, Baru and Charap point out that Russia is unique in being both a member of the G8 leading industrialised nations and one of the BRICS (the term for the world's fastest-growing emerging markets, which also refers to Brazil, India, China and South Africa). Although Moscow has a mixed record in leveraging its position between the West and 'the rest', it does have the potential to act as a bridge between advanced and developing economies, they believe.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has set out five central issues for the G20 summit in St Petersburg this September, from reforming the international currency system to advancing discussions on energy security and climate change. Meanwhile, emerging nations have been calling for a greater role in international financial institutions like the IMF and World Bank, and the latest round of WTO trade negotiations has long been stalled.
The IISS authors focus on the ways in which the G20 could respond to its critics by taking forward the agenda agreed at its September 2009 summit in Pittsburgh to speed up the restructuring of the IMF and World Bank shareholdings, reviving the Doha Round of WTO talks and discouraging countries from 'pursuing beggar-my-neighbor trade and currency policies'.
While they recognise the problems hampering the G20's effectiveness – from national leaders' current domestic preoccupations to overlap with G7, G8 and BRICS meetings – Baru and Charap suggest that the G20 has enormous influence over the IMF and the IBRD (International Bank for Reconstruction and Development), as it includes almost all the major shareholders. 'Even the WTO can be guided by the G20′.
The same is not necessarily true, they argue, of other global negotiations, especially those relating to climate change, where many non-G20 countries have such major stakes.

What new Japanese PM Abe means for IndiaPosted: 19/12/2012 Filed under: Asia Pacific, Geo-economics, Sanjaya Baru, South Asia | Tags: 'broader Asia', China, India, Japan, Manmohan Singh, Shinzo Abe Leave a comment
By Dr Sanjaya Baru, Director for Geo-economics and Strategy
'The Pacific and the Indian Oceans are now bringing about a dynamic coupling as seas of freedom and of prosperity'. With those words Shinzo Abe, now re-elected prime minister of Japan, launched into an historic address to the Indian Parliament in August 2007. A 'broader Asia', he said … 'is now beginning to take on a distinct form. Our two countries have the ability – and the responsibility – to ensure that it broadens yet further and to nurture and enrich these seas to become seas of clearest transparence.'
To an audience that had not yet absorbed the full import of the historic shift that Abe was seeking in Japan's relations with India, he added: 'This is the message I wish to deliver directly today to the one billion people of India. That is why I stand before you now in the Central Hall of the highest chamber, to speak with you, the people's representatives of India.'
Shinzo Abe is not just another prime minister in a country where prime ministers come by the dozen. He has pedigree and has acquired courage and a vision. And over the weekend he has also won a massive and historic verdict in favour of his Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).

I think they don't care what they say, they are paid to say the stupid things they say. Why are jerks chosen to speak on these shows. It's like everyone in the media is in on it. What a shame.
BTW, President Carter is the best President we've had in 50 years. Those guys know little and are evil and the real Anti-Americans.
Larry, you are one slick dude. I applaud you for making the statement to the right wing advocate "...the founding fathers allowed for a communist to win 50% of the vote....".
Otherwise the anti-Obama blabla was boring. Your guests are an embarassment. Obama is not a commie, he is a corporatist. His mark in American history will be the first openly corporate sponsored do nothing for the people have no conscious me me gi'me gi'me pay me President. All those small government, anti-tax, anti-gov guys are stupid because the only thing worse than government "running our lives" is corporations running our lives.
asking a foreign government to come into their country, yeah, that's treason by any definition.
except of cause by the definition I found with a quick Google search:
1. the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill or overthrow the sovereign or government.
obviously by this definition the current Kiev 'government' committed treason.
bu t more importantly, and more specific to your post: acting in the interests of your countries legitimate government can not be considered treasonous. Not to mention Russia was a close ally of Ukraine.
Excellent program! Thanks!
[quote Jeanie Anderson' time]@ James Greer
Actua lly, neither Sec'y of State John Kerry nor Senator John McCain had anything to do with stirring up trouble in Ukraine. He did not listen to THE PEOPLE and therefore, he was ousted.
onsidere d by politicians. Russians in Ukraine must also follow and respect the RULE of LAW. They should have pleaded their case to a high court in Ukraine, not President Putin.[/quote]
To listen to people? Are you nuts, they were only a few hundred or thousand
I wonder why did the Maidan protesters pleaded with the high court, instead of threatening a legitimate President, Yanoukovich
Kerry,and mc cain want to make comments of past president's, they should take to mind this one< You can fool some of the people some of the time, But you can't fool all the people all the time.. We know who was stirring up the trouble in Ukraine, And it was NOT the Russians< <IT WAS YOU>[/quote]
I totally agree with you. Did they show them giving cakes to Nazi protesters? Has the fact it was revealed to Catherine Aston that it was the thugs who shot at protesters and the police? Lies, lies and more lies.
In pursuit of happiness" no matter what "says the USA constitution. Wow
King mentioned with his panel that "we aren´t bankrupt yet". So why is America in a deep dark hole of 16 plus Trillion in debt. They keep on spending dollars and the tax monies owed by corporations and the very rich are hidden in off shore accounts. Could it be that some day this bubble will burst?
Money is Root of all evil
Knowledge and wisdom is given freely therefore we should make education free, water free, housing free, food free, people are born in this world there are things which are created for this very existence therefore to honor God creator of all living things should not be determended on if people can afford it nor should something giving freely by He whom created us be determined by any other then him.

Maximize Desktop Speed
No Prelink Needed in Ubuntu or Debian?
Recent Ubuntu and Debian distributions include a different mechanism for speeding application loading and a new linking mechanism that speeds up the linking process without using prelink.
To enable the faster startup times, do sudo apt-get install preload, and from that moment on, Linux monitors which applications you run and fetches those binaries and libraries into memory.
For example, if you use Firefox and OpenOffice.org every day, preload will determine that those two are common applications and will keep the needed libraries in RAM. Of course, should you change to Seamonkey and KOffice, preload eventually will detect your change of habits and do the appropriate thing.
Every time you create, modify or simply access a file, Linux dutifully records the current timestamp in its directory structures. In particular, the latter update obviously implies a penalty on file access time. Even if you merely read a file (without changing anything), Linux updates the file's inode (see Resources for more on inodes) with the current timestamp. Because writes obviously require some time, doing away with these updates results in performance gains.
In order to achieve this enhancement, you need to change the way the filesystem is mounted. Working as root, do cat /etc/fstab to get the following:
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda3 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/hdd1 /media/disk2 reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
Given this output, the best candidates for the optimization are / and /dev/hdd1; /boot is used only when booting, /swap is out of bounds for you, and the others are not hard disks.
Making the change is simple. With your favorite text editor, add ,noatime to the options in the fourth column. When you are done, issue the mount -a command to remount all partitions, and then issue a plain mount to check whether the changes were done (Listing 2).
Listing 2. Checking the New Parameters with mount
$ mount -a $ mount /dev/hda3 on / type reiserfs (rw,noatime,acl,user_xattr) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) /dev/hda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw,acl,user_xattr) /dev/hdd1 on /media/disk2 type reiserfs (rw,noatime)
Notice the noatime parameters in the /dev/hda3 and /dev/hdd1 lines. Those mean you did everything right, and access times are no longer being recorded.
By the way, if you research this on the Web, you may find a reference to another option, nodiratime, which has to do with directories. Do not bother setting this option, because noatime implies nodiratime.
I ran some tests (creating lots of files, and copying them to /dev/null) and timed the results both with and without the noatime option and found some small performance enhancements—every little bit helps.
Now, if you gotten this far, you're ready for the big one: enhancing your kernel.
Data Integrity vs. Speed?
Googling for filesystem performance enhancements, you might come upon a suggestion for ext3 and ReiserFS, involving another mounting option: data=writeback. This option effectively undoes the advantage of those two filesystems by partially disabling their journaling. (Journaling is what ensures that your data won't be lost, even after a system crash.) If you include data=writeback, you'll gain an increase in speed at the cost of having old data show up after a crash. I don't like this kind of risk, so I don't use that option.
All the tweaks we have done so far are just part of the job, and you even can get a bit more speed if you recompile your kernel and adjust it optimally for your specific hardware and needs. Note that even though compiling a full kernel isn't the challenge it used to be (mainly you just have to make a few choices and key in some commands), there still is room for botching things up. Don't try this unless you feel comfortable.
Most distributions usually provide a one-size-fits-all kernel compiled with the most generic options, which should work for everybody. Of course, this won't necessarily fit your specific case. If your box has an Athlon XP CPU (as my laptop does), or many processors, or a certain graphics card, the generic kernel won't take advantage of them. What to do? You can tweak some kernel options and recompile it for optimal performance. Here, I pay specific attention to the options that enhance speed and responsiveness.
How to get rid of fonts?
OK, so 'xfontsel' shows I have over 10K fonts. Many of the families are clearly foreign languages, that came with install. How do I get rid of some of them? 'apropos font' was no help, and 'adept' indicated I didn't have any font packages installed. I use Kubuntu. 'man apt-get' didn't give me a clue about finding font packages. Suggestions? Thanks.
Wrong information about prelink
The section about prelink is incorrectly stating that...
Using prelink in this way obviously requires more disk space (for there will be a copy of every prelinked library within each executable file), but with the current large disks, this won't even be noticed.
This is complete rubbish ! The author is clearly confusing rewriting the relocation tables with hard-wiring the libraries in executables. The scheme set up by the author would turn all binaries into static linked programs. Nothing is less true ! As a simple peek at the man page (or even Wikipedia) reveals, only the relocation tables are rewritten such that when a library is loaded into memory, it's symbols sits at the right spot in the virtual memory, such that the calculation of the symbol locations no longer needs to be done, but is exactly there where the program expects them.
So prelinking does not use a single byte (apart from the lightweight checksum mechanism) more disk space.
Another blatant fault:
Include the -m option so prelink will try to conserve memory, if you have many libraries in your system (highly likely) and not a very large memory.
This has *nothing* to do with your actual memory, but with the 4GB virtual address space limit on 32bit systems ! It just means that, _if_ each library was used in a single program (and that's what prelink allows without the -m option), you'd exceed the virtual address space limit. The solution is to see which libraries are mutually exclusive linked and let them overlap in virtual memory, as they'll never occur at the same time in the same process.
This article is also quite mediocre in the section about compiling a kernel, you're supposed to know how many RAM your system has. Wrong again. It's perfectly safe/performant to turn on "High Memory Support (4GB)", even if you only got 1GB. And the instructions for compiling a kernel are of the lesser quality I've seen around. You, a daring non-kernel hacking user, should nowadays only install a kernel through your packaging system (like make-kpkg for Debian/Ubuntu) and not using the good old 'make' command, which might as well overwrite your current kernel image and leave your system in an unbootable state (for example, when initrd support has been omitted and your filesystem drivers are compiled as modules.)
This article had good intentions, but the proof reading (if any) clearly missed some faults.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Background: The mechanisms of resistance to androgen signaling inhibitors such as Abiraterone (Abi) or Enzalutamide (Enz) are poorly understood. AR amplification (AR+) has been observed in Abi/Enz naive mCRPC patients (pts), but its role in Abi/Enz resistant pts is not known. Progressive mCRPC has historically been challenging to biopsy and characterize on a molecular basis because of its bone tropism. As part of the WCDT project which aims to identify genetic pathways underlying primary and acquired resistance to Abi and Enz, AR+ was assessed in mCRPC biopsies. Methods: Following central radiologic review, eligible mCRPC pts underwent biopsy at one of 5 WCDT clinical sites, using a uniform biopsy protocol. Tissue was both frozen, and formalin fixed/paraffin embedded (FFPE). FFPE tissue underwent a CLIA-certified assessment of a mutational panel, IHC for PTEN, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for AR+. Results: 60 of 300 planned mCRPC pts have undergone a metastasis biopsy. To date, 33 pts have had biopsies successfully evaluated by AR FISH, including 12 from bone, 11 from lymph nodes, 8 from liver and 2 from other soft tissues. Of 16 Abi and Enz naive pts, 13 (81%) were AR+. By contrast, only 1/11 Abi resistant pts (9%) was AR+. 4/6 Enz resistant pts (67%) were AR+. Of 6 AR+ patients that went on to receive Abi or Enz, 3 (50%) had a response (PCWG2 criteria), whereas of 5 pts without AR+ who went on to receive Abi/Enz, just 1 (20%) had a response. Conclusions: AR amplification can be evaluated by FISH in small biopsies of mCRPC, including bone, and it was observed in 18/33 samples (55%). AR+ was common in mCRPC patients prior to therapy with Abi or Enz (81%). However, once resistance developed, Abi resistant pts had a far lower likelihood of AR+ (9%) than Enz resistant pts (67%). These data support the hypothesis that treatment with Abiraterone selects for non-AR amplified cells, whereas Enzalutamide does not. In this relatively small cohort, mCRPC pts with AR+ are more likely to respond to subsequent AR targeted therapeutics than pts without AR+.

Maple returns the wrong answer to the following very simple double sum:
T:=(x,m)->sum( sum(binomial(m,k+p),k=1..m-p)*x^p,p=0..m-1);
Maple gives zero for all m>0. However, the correct answer is a non-zero polynomial in x.
For example, with Maple:
T(x, 3); 0
The correct answer is x^2+4*x+7.
It would be helpful if others can check this double sum in their version of Maple and report results.

I want to count the 0 to 8 respectively summation,and divide by i.
But the seq command R() isn't conform with Tally command R() .
This is my programming code.
I want ot set six random summation is 8.
But the random summation can't reach 8.
Greetings to all.
I would like to share a brief observation concerning my experiences with the Euler-Maclaurin summation routine in Maple 17 (X86 64 LINUX). The following Math StackExchange Link shows how to compute a certain Euler-MacLaurin type asymptotic expansion using highly unorthodox divergent series summation techniques. The result that was obtained matches the output from eulermac which is definitely good to know. What follows is the output from said routine.
> eulermac(1/(1+k/n),k=0..n,18);
19 15 17 11 19
n 2097152 n 1048576 n 32768 n n
174611 5461 31 | 1 17 1
- -------- + --------- + ------- + | ------- dk - ------- + ------
19 13 9 | 1 + k/n 7 5
6600 n 65536 n 4096 n / 4096 n 256 n
1 1
- ------ + ---- + 3/4
3 16 n
128 n
While I realize that this is good enough for most purposes I have two minor issues.
You might want to fix these so that the output looks a bit more professional which does enter into play when potential future users decide on what CAS to commit to. Other than that it is a very useful routine even for certain harmonic sum computations where one can use Euler-Maclaurin to verify results.
Best regards,
Marko Riedel
I have the following expression (obtained from an earlier calculation):
I want to collect all the terms under one summation. So I define a rule:
collectf:=proc(f)A::algebraic*f(a::algebraic)+B::algebraic*f(b::algebraic)\ +C::algebraic*f(c::algebraic)+D::algebraic*f(d::algebraic)=f(A*a+B*b+C*c+D*d);end proc:
and then
I get
Error, (in +) unable to identify A::algebraic
I used similar constructs before so I think the rule is constructed correctly. I should, however, mention that I use the Physics:-Vectors package and in fact the expression I start up with here reads, in 1-d Maple inputform:
Physics[Vectors][`+`](Physics[Vectors][`+`](Physics[Vectors][`+`](-y*(Sum((diff(a[n](r), r))/(exp(I*Pi*n/L))^2, n))/r, (2*I)*(Sum(a[n](r)/(exp(I*Pi*n/L))^2, n))*k0), y*(Sum(a[n](r)/(exp(I*Pi*n/L))^2, n))*k0^2), -y*(Sum((diff(a[n](r), r, r))/(exp(I*Pi*n/L))^2, n)))
Is my problem related to the use of Physics:-Vectors? If so, how can I get around that?
Mac Dude
How can I show the expression of the following summation as the output, not 11?
Hi,Relevant developments in Physics happened during the last month and a 1/2, some of them of interest beyond the use of this package. Among the most exciting things I can mention:
As usual the latest version of the package is available for download in the Maplesoft Physics: Research & Development webpage and in the zip there is a worksheet illustrating all these developments. Below I'm copying the section related to the new redefinesum option of Physics:-Setup and multiindex summation.
Thanks to everyone who provided feedback, it has been of great value and at the root of this new round of developments.
December 4
New option in Setup: redefinesum, so that the sum command is redefined in such a way that a) the sum arguments are processed in a way avoiding premature evaluation and related unexpected results or error interruptions b) the sum command includes new functionality present in Physics:-Library:-Add to perform sum over integer values of many indices, as in
New option: redefine sum so that its arguments are processed by the more modern Physics:-Library:-Add and so that it can perform multiindice summation.
By default, the sum command is not redefined, so the value of redefinesum is
Consider this multiindex summation functionality of the Physics:-Library:-Add command
For instance, for n = 2,
This functionality can be plugged directly into the sum command. For that purpose, set redefinesum to true
You can now compute directly with sum. The left-hand side is inert while the right-hand side is computed
The formula for the integer power of a sum
Verify whether this equation is true
Besides this new functionality, the redefined sum does a more modern handling of its arguments, consider a typical problem posted in Maple primes
In the following summation, j is a dummy summation index, so the value just assigned, , is not expected to interfer with the summation. This is the case with the redefined sum
while without redefining sum the input above is interrupted with an error message. Likely, in this other case also reported in Mapleprimes
the following two summations can be performed after having redefining sum:
For the summation above, without redefining sum, it returns 0 instead of unevaluated, because of a premature evaluation of the function with an unassigned index i before performing the summation. Returning unevaluated as (1.16) permits evaluate the sum at a latter moment, for instance attributing a value to f
And this other sum where f is given from the begining also returns 0 without redefining sum
Problems like this other one reported in Mapleprimes here also get resolved with this redefinition of sum.

Would really appreciate the help in doing this question!
Pi= infinity Σ n=0 ((120n^2+An+B)/(16^n(512n^4+1024n^3+712n^2+194n+15))) for some positive integers A,B.
Hint: Set A=0 to find B, then find A.
I'm so clueless as to how to do this. THANK YOU!
Hi, I want to print t[n] / (-1)^n * sum as following, but I don't know where the error is. Please help me.
Thank you very much.
convert 1/(1+z) to
Let be any positive Integer :. Find
Dear all,
I'm trying to substitute a combination of variables in an equation that is partly covered in a summation.
For example consider the equation with two variables A and B, and two function W(t) and q(z):
now I want to do the substitution:
How does one take the gradient of a expression involving sums in terms of a set of indexed variables.
I am trying to find the maxima for the satisfaction for a public good from a tax code. The sum represents the total revenue. The tax code is defined as a piecewise linear function of income and indexed variables. The indexed variables represent the points of the kinks and the marginal tax rate for each income bracket. (The set of indexed variables will vary...
I want to write the following summation but Maple give the following error
Hi there,
I have
x[i]=sum(sin(theta[j](t)), j = 1 .. i-1)
assuming i is integer and i>=1 can Maple help me to differentiate with respect to time t ( for example diff(x[i],t) ) so

2006 Acura TL Sedan 4dr Sedan (3.2L 6cyl 5A)
I owned a 2006 Mercedes benz c230 and had one prob after the next, engine was very noisy check engine light came on, had bad fuel press reg, and injectors, the abs stopped working, and the trans always got stuck in gear, and this car only had 40000 miles, I traded in on a 2006 acura tl, and this car tops it, it may be kinda noisy but it noo big deal, this is a great car, not as smooth as a benz, but a lower price tag, and easy to get parts on work on, get this car!!!

2006 Acura TL Sedan 4dr Sedan w/Nav System (3.2L 6cyl 5A)
For years, my kids heard me say "see that TL over there - THAT's the one I want". Now it's more like an unspoken "I love my car" (I bought it last summer).
I love the 2004-08 body style - those before and since just don't have that same sleek, wedge look (the groove was so iconic that recent Accords copied it). All my research pointed to the 2006 being the most reliable of the bunch too. You ever get *exactly* the car you want and never, ever look back? Yeah, it's like that.

2006 Acura TL Sedan 4dr Sedan w/Nav System (3.2L 6cyl 5A)
I've almost always have had a BMW or Honda product in my automotive stable.
Most recently, I had a 1995 BMW M3.
Loved the power and handling but hated the maintenance.
I also leased a 2006 Honda Accord SE-V6 and owned a 2003 Accord EX-V6 with navigation.
Both were very reliable and quick but handling was crappy and interior was blase'.
Sheet metal seemed like aluminum foil.
BMW's always seemed more solid.
Recently, I purchased a 2006 Acura TL with navigation with high mileage for a paltry sum of money.
I must say that it is in an entirely different league than the Honda.
Quieter and better built than Honda.
Really gives the BMW a great run for the money.

2006 Acura TL Sedan 4dr Sedan w/Performance Tires, Nav System (3.2L 6cyl 6M)
This car has many plus features, very few negatives. However after going from a sport car to a sedan the handling leaves something to be desired. Plenty of power but could use more torque. A little noisy for a high end car. Nav system talks too much and looks very outdated(like something off an old Atari system). Sound system OK. Very spacious and comfortable inside. For the price of the car you certainly get a lot of great features, bluetooth, homelink etc..Have had absolutely no mechanical problems. Would def recommend this car.

2006 Acura TL Sedan 4dr Sedan w/Nav System (3.2L 6cyl 5A)
This is my second Acura after an exceptional 1998 Integra. Sadly, the TL has not met expectations. The cruise control broke in 2009; the battery has died twice for no apparent reason (remote entry doesn't work w/o battery); and the hands free link broke. Of course, these issues all occurred after the warranty expired. The turning radius is atrocious. After waiting three years, we finally purchased an "update" to the Nav system for $150 only to have Acura come out with a new version 3 months later. (A little notice would have been nice.)

2006 Acura TL Sedan 4dr Sedan w/Nav System (3.2L 6cyl 5A)
I owned the 2003 TL before updating to the 2006. I also worked in Service at an Acura dealership. The most common complaint is the rattling, but a conscientious technician can fix that. (My car doesn't rattle and it doesn't happen in all of them.) Depending upon your personal driving habits, you *may* go through brakes and tires. If you want a good quality, reliable vehicle, get a TL. My two 80-pound dogs don't damage the interior and neither will your kids. The TL is also mechanically sound. I've worked in Service for other brands so believe me, I'm loyal to Acura for a reason. Compare cost, features, and reliability and it's no wonder that Acura has the highest resale value.

2006 Acura TL Sedan 4dr Sedan w/Nav System (3.2L 6cyl 5A)
A good car. but don't get it serviced by the dealer, Acura will call you over and over to question you about the service, I called the local dealer and they could not get me off the call list. Well, if you go local don't give your phone number. Otherwise a great car, but the trunk could have better lighting, awesome sound system though.

2006 Acura TL Sedan 4dr Sedan (3.2L 6cyl 5A)
I was originally looking for a second automobile with good fuel economy. I bought this car when it was 3 years old with 25,000 miles on it. This car has exceeded all my expectations. It's agile, and, while others complain of the "heavy" steering and road noise, I love the way this car feels. It is as planted at 60mph as it is switching lanes at 80mph. I can "feel" the road surface through the steering wheel not an objectionable feeling imho and the steering response is quick and precise. All this and I regularly get 30 mpg in a well appointed, sneaky fast and RELIABLE Honda product. I made the right decision!

The TL is a great car for its price. This car made the transition from driving a sports car to a sport sedan easy. And the excellent crash test ratings make it even better.

Leaders of the East Torresdale Civic Association had no new information to report about the community group's opposition to a series of city zoning variances sought by a neighborhood tavern owner.
Residents who attended the recent bimonthly meeting of the Fox Chase Homeowners Association didn't seem to mind having a collectible-coin dealer doing business in their community, but at least several of the neighbors want no part of another "we buy gold" shop.
Members of the Greater Bustleton Civic League have amended the group's bylaws to require new members to attend at least one monthly meeting before they are eligible to vote on matters before the organization. Members must live in the 19115 ZIP code.
A proposal to change the city's zoning code might provide a check to what members of the Frankford Civic Association have called a proliferation of rooming houses for recovering addicts.
A Mayfair man's plans to put an indoor softball and baseball training facility into a McNulty Road warehouse got the city Zoning Board of Adjustment's approval in July.
Two immediate neighborhood problems — a rash of burglaries and traffic snarls around the Holme Avenue bridge reconstruction — dominated discussion at the May 25 meeting of the Holme Circle Civic Association.
