Kiran Bedi is an Indian social activist and a retired Indian Police Service (IPS) officer.[1] Bedi joined the police service in 1972 and became the first woman officer in the IPS.[2] Bedi held the post of Director General at the Bureau of Police Research and Development before she voluntarily retired from the IPS in December 2007.[3] Bedi was the host and judge of the popular TV series Aap Ki Kachehri ("Your Court"), which is based on real-life disputes and provides a platform for settling disputes between consenting parties.[4]
She has also founded two NGOs in India: the Navjyoti Delhi Police Foundation for welfare and preventative policing in 1988[5] which was later renamed as the Navjyoti India Foundation in 2007, and the India Vision Foundation for prison reformation, drug abuse prevention and child welfare in 1994.[6] Bedi was awarded Ramon Magsaysay award in 1994 for Government service.[7]
Early life and education[edit]
Kiran Bedi was born in Amritsar, Punjab, India. She was awarded a BA degree by the Government College for Women, Amritsar in 1968. She then earned a Master's degree in Political Science from Punjab University, Chandigarh, graduating at the top of her class in 1970. She later obtained Bachelor of Laws in 1988 from Faculty of Law, University of Delhi. In 1993, she obtained a Ph.D. in Social Sciences from the Department of Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi[8] where the topic of her thesis was 'Drug Abuse and Domestic Violence'.[9]
She began her career as a Lecturer in Political Science (1970–72) at Khalsa College for Women, Amritsar. In July 1972, she joined the Indian Police Service, becoming the first woman to do so.[10] Bedi wrote in 1973 that she had joined the police service "because of [her] urge to be outstanding".[11]
She served in a number of tough assignments ranging from New Delhi traffic postings, Deputy Inspector General of Police in Mizoram, Advisor to the Lieutenant Governor of Chandigarh, Director General of Narcotics Control Bureau, to a United Nations delegation, where she became the Civilian Police Advisor in United Nations peacekeeping operations.[12] For her work in the UN, she was awarded a UN medal.[13] She is popularly referred to as Crane Bedi for towing the Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's car for a parking violation,[10] during the PM's tour of United States at that time.[8]
Kiran Bedi influenced several decisions of the Indian Police Service, particularly in the areas of narcotics control, Traffic management, and VIP security. During her stint as the Inspector General of Prisons, in Tihar Jail (Delhi) (1993–1995), she instituted a number of reforms in the management of the prison, and initiated a number of measures such as detoxification programs, Art of Living Foundation Prison Courses,[14] yoga, vipassana meditation, Murat redressing of complaints by prisoners and literacy programs.[15] Her initiatives for the practice of Vipassana meditation were documented in the film Doing time, Doing Vipassana. For this she won the 1994 Ramon Magsaysay Award, and the 'Jawaharlal Nehru Fellowship', to write about her work at Tihar Jail.[9]
She was last appointed as Director General of India's Bureau of Police Research and Development.
In May 2005, she was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Law in recognition of her "humanitarian approach to prison reforms and policing".[16]
On 27 November 2007, she expressed her wish to voluntarily retire from the police force to undertake new challenges in life. On 25 December 2007, the Government of India agreed to relieve Bedi of her duties as Director General of the Bureau of Police Research and Development.
In 2014 Bedi, who had avoided politics earlier, expressed her desire to serve the country in the Modi led government, by offering herself as CM candidate of BJP.[17]
Social initiatives[edit]
Kiran Bedi along with 15 other police officers set up Navjyoti India Foundation (NIF) in 1987,[5] NIF started with a de-addiction and rehabilitation initiative for the drug addicts and now the organization has expanded to other social issue like illiteracy and women empowerment.[5] In 1994 Bedi setup India Vision Foundation which works in field of police reforms, prison reforms, women empowerment and rural and community development.[18] Her efforts have won national and international recognition, and her organizations were awarded the "Serge Soitiroff Memorial Award" for drug abuse prevention by the United Nations.[19]
After retirement, Kiran Bedi launched a new website. The goal of this website was to help people whose complaints are not accepted by the local police and the website is http://www.saferindia.com/kiranbedi/ [20]
India Against Corruption[edit]
On 16 August 2011, key members of the India Against Corruption (IAC) including Bedi were arrested four hours before the planned indefinite hunger strike by Hazare.[21] Bedi and other activist were later released in the evening same day.[22] After twelve days of protests and many discussions between the government and the activists, Parliament passed a resolution to consider three points in drafting of Lokpal bill.[23] During the period of Bedi's involvement, IAC protested against corruption and urged the government of India to enact the Lokpal Bill.[24] Bedi split from the group in November 2012.[25]
Bedi did not join the Aam Aadmi Party, which evolved from a section of the India Against Corruption. Before the Indian general election, 2014, she declared support for Narendra Modi as the prime ministerial candidate.[26]

In July 1993, Kiran Bedi, the then Inspector-General of Prisons of Tihar Jail was pulled up by the Supreme Court of India for ignoring the apex court directives for providing medical attention to a foreign under-trial prisoner by initiating contempt proceedings against her. In 1988 Wadhwa Commission criticised Bedi for her role in lathi-charge on lawyers protesting against a colleague's arrest outside Bedi's office.[35] Karan Thapar, host of many popular interview shows published an article on controversies surrounding Bedi after she pulled out of one of Thapar's interview show.[36]
Bedi was criticised for being a hardliner in the negotiations with government over Lokpal bill.[37] Later members of parliament proposed to bring a breach of privilege motion against Kiran Bedi and a few other activists for allegedly mocking the parliamentarians during the lokpal bill protests,[38] however withdrew the notice later.[39]
Kiran Bedi was alleged to have charged her hosts full fare for air tickets despite her paying discounted fare. She was also alleged to have charged her hosts business class fare while flying economy class and presenting false invoices.[40][41][42] Bedi was also accused by an NGO of claiming business class fare from Delhi to Mumbai, while her travel itinerary communicated to them showed she was flying from nearby Pune.[43] Bedi said that the money was not earned for personal gains, but given to her NGO.[44]
In 1992 Kiran Bedi's daughter was given admission for MBBS course in Delhi's Hardinge College under a quota for student's from North-East. Kiran Bedi was posted in Mizoram at that time. Bedi stated that it was within the rules and Central Government employees were entitled to such schemes.[45]
In November 2011, the Delhi Police, under directions of the additional chief metropolitan magistrate, registered an FIR against Bedi for allegedly misappropriating funds meant for her NGOs.[46][47] The police later found no such evidence on her,[48] and subsequently filed closure for the case.
In films and literature[edit]
A non fiction feature film on Kiran Bedi's life, Yes Madam, Sir, has been produced by Australian film maker, Megan Doneman. This film is being screened in film festivals around the world. Its commentator is an Academy Award winner, Helen Mirren. Kiran Bedi was present during its screenings in Toronto, Dubai and Adelaide, and to address the Q&A sessions at the end of each show.
The documentary has made a clean sweep of the award categories---"Best Documentary" with a cash award of $100,000, the biggest prize for a documentary in any film festival in the US and the Social Justice Award with $2500 at Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Yes Madam, Sir got a unanimous vote from the jury.
In 2006, Norwegian Mpower Film & Media and film maker Oystein Rakkenes released another documentary on Bedi and her prison revolution in Tihar Central Jail, In Gandhi's footsteps. The film was awarded Best Documentary at the Indo-American Film Festival in Atlanta, in November 2006.

TFA: Nichole's Story Chp.8Part VIIII cried. A lot. Mostly during the flight to the Decepticon base. I don't think it had anything to do with the fact that I'd finally been captured, or about Sari even. It was more like the reality of everything decided to sucker punch me in the face, right that instant. All it needed was a stress trigger."Stop your leaking optics or you vill make my servo rust!" Blitzwing's hothead personality yelled mid-way through our flight. He turned to Lugnut, who had joined us right after take-off (turns out that he was the one who caused the explosion, as a distraction), and jutted out the hand that was holding me. "Here! You babysit for a vhile!"Lugnut glanced at me momentarily, hesitating. I could tell he was afraid of grabbing me and breaking one of my bones or something and, in doing so, harming his beloved leader. Blitzwing on the other hand was getting tired of holding me, fast. Grudgingly, the bigger Decepticon took me in his claw, but I wasn't letting a chance to

Let me tell you, it was bor-ing. All I could do was call my friends, and, when they got off their lazy butts, they visited. My mom would hang out for hours on end, even though she really had things to do.Mom, Im seventeen. You dont have to watch me like a hawk.

No wonder the youngest had stopped! A huge, blue-white orb had floated into the clouds, burning in intensity, bathing the red hued landscape of war-torn Cybertron in ethereal, pure light."Vhat is..." Hothead began."Ze All-Spark," Icy whispered.Spinning in the sky, whipping clouds around it like the eye of a hurricane, the orb shot out bright beams to the planet, one heading straight for..."RANDOM!

The papers we had to do werent supposed to be turned in until the month after that, but not everyone is a procrastinator like me. So, unlike me, everyone got on the computers and began looking up their topics. I, on the other hand, just pulled up Google to make it look like I was doing something. I then brought out my notebook and began to doodle...About half an hour later, the most annoying sound rang through everyones ears.Fire alarm.The students immediately began talking, wondering if it was just a drill or not. There had been no warning given by the principal, so there must have been a real fire. No one can help but be excited when this happens, because there are so many questions involved. Who started it? How close is it? Is our school going to burn down? Will these kids walk fast enough for me to get out? The list goes on.It was a short walk to the library doors where the students a

It's a common dilemma: Do I buy a baby his own seat on the plane, or not? Some moms would rather pay the extra money and have peace of mind that baby would be strapped into her car seat in a crash landing. Others say the small risk just isn't worth the expense.
The debate came into the forefront last week at a forum where the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) discussed their recommendation that babies under 2, who aren't legally required to have their own seats, should not ride on mom's lap. They cited specific cases where kids lives were saved because they had their own seats -- and ones who were injured or died because they didn't.
Is this scaring you, mama? The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), who got the official report with details from the NTSB this summer, says that while they know it's safer for kids to have their own seats, they aren't changing the laws. They say parents who would not be able to afford extra seats for their babies would instead drive -- and car travel is way less safe than air travel.
What do you think -- is holding baby on your lap worth the risk? Chime in below!

Garlow: America's Tombstone Will Read '1776-2012'
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 3/19/2013 1:45 pm
In the second part of Jim Garlow's post-election sermon at a conference with James Dobson, the California pastor claimed that President Obama's re-election marked the death of America. Garlow, who warned of America's impending doom if Obama was re-elected, said that "if a tombstone were to be prepared for America I think it might say '1776-2012.'" Garlow went on to compare the prospects of America's survival to a clinically dead patient miraculously coming back to life.
18 months before the election from May 2011 on I started saying privately to certain people, I think America's only got 18 months left. I was very hesitant to say that to anybody because it sounded so melodramatic, so over-the-top, and when I talked to people they would all nod and say, 'I agree with you.' I was hoping somebody would counter me. I did a countdown: 15 months America's got left; 12 months America's got left; 6 months as we approached November 6; 3 months; 2 months; 1 month, and then came November 6, 2012. If a tombstone were to be prepared for America I think it might say: '1776-2012.'
But, I've written two books having to do with having to do with heaven and the afterlife several years ago in which we studied and analyzed near-death experiences, people who were clinically dead but were remarkably resuscitated and came back to life. I'm hanging on like you are to a conviction, to a belief, that something could happen, that the spirit of God could be released in such a way that something stir within this nation and that revival we've longed for suddenly and inexplicably break out someplace, somewhere and sweep this nation, and touch enough lives and transform enough lives that we would see life come back to what appears to be a dead patient.

Hospital Inspections to Resume In Full
The effects of the government shutdown will be felt for weeks as state and federal officials play catch-up on hospital inspections, re-certifications, and other routine work.
With a temporary federal budget deal Wednesday finally ending the 16-day government shutdown, state and federal officials have some catching up to do to make up for time lost.
At the state level, some health departments will be dealing with a backlog of federal inspections postponed during the shutdown. Some hospital and nursing home inspections by officials from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and state officials who conduct inspections for CMS could not be conducted.
During the shutdown, state officials were limited to pursuing only what CMS described as "complaints that are triaged as credible allegations of immediate jeopardy or harm to an individual" and that those cases "should continue to be assessed and investigated according to CMS protocols."
State agencies were also allowed to revisit a hospital or other facility if the revisit was required to prevent a facility from shutting down and creating a situation "that is likely to threaten the safety of human life, such as creating access-to-care or other serious, immediate, and negative consequences to beneficiaries."

- Delta sticking with big jet order, buys stake in Aeromexico
- Teen booted off U.S. ski team for JetBlue urination incident
Man who stripped in TSA protest gets day in court
A judge said this week that he expects to rule by the end of the month on "whether to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a college student who was arrested after stripping to his running shorts at a Richmond International Airport checkpoint to protest security procedures," The Associated Press reports.
In the meantime, U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson "took the motions under advisement" at the Wednesday hearing and set Jan. 18 as the tentative date for a trial to start on the suit.
FULL STORY: Judge considers dismissing airport stripping suit
The incident centers on a Dec. 30 incident in which 21-year-old Aaron Tobey of Charlottesville, Va., was detained by Transportation Security Administration officers after he stripped to his shorts. (Photo here) In his effort to protest current airport security procedures, Tobey had written the text of the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution on his chest. That is the amendment that protects Americans against unreasonable search and seizure.
FROM THE SCENE: Airport protester, federal officials present arguments in lawsuit (Richmond Times-Dispatch)
As for the court proceedings, the Richmond Times-Dispatch writes an attorney for the U.S. Justice Department "argued in favor of a motion to dismiss … Tobey's lawsuit, which claims his constitutional rights were violated. (The attorney) said Tobey had made his point by removing his shirt to display words from the Fourth Amendment written on his torso but went too far when he disobeyed a command to pass through a security scanner."
"But," the Times-Dispatch adds, "Anand Agneshwar, an attorney representing Tobey in his lawsuit against airport and federal officials, said the 21-year-old Charlottesville man obeyed the commands of authorities. Agneshwar said it was the authorities who went too far by detaining Tobey for 90 minutes or longer with his hands cuffed behind his back."

We assigned a special guest blogger, Scott Francis, to cover Conformity's recent launch and webinar event. Scott is Co-founder and CTO of BP3, an Austin-based business process improvement consultancy. With 15 years of experience in Enterprise Software, Scott previously worked in early stages at two home grown Austin startups: Trilogy and Lombardi Software.
At the recent Capital Factory Demo Day '09, Mike Maples, Jr. gave a keynote speech in which he discussed an emerging "theme" that he sees within the Austin startup community. That theme is the convergence of Enterprise Software with the Community and SaaS/Cloud techniques of the Consumer space – essentially applying consumer Web 2.0 techniques to enterprise software.
In a twist on this convergence theme, Conformity is bringing enterprise software sensibilities to the Web 2.0 world of SaaS and Cloud computing. Conformity is focused on providing enterprise-class management to SaaS and Cloud offerings, including:
- Data Security
- Compliance Risk Management
- Optimizing License allocation and expenses
- Administration
- Expanding SaaS / Clous usage to the appropriate audiences within the enterprise
Much of this is accomplished through better provisioning of users across all of the SaaS/Cloud offerings an enterprise employs. Conformity already has an impressive list of partners, including Google, SalesForce.com, NetSuite, OpenAir, SuccessFactors, Xactly, QuickArrow, and Amazon webservices.
I sat down for a chat with Scott Bils, Founder and CMO, to talk about Conformity and the market for SaaS and Cloud applications. When I asked Scott how Conformity sells partners on the idea of participating with Conformity, he said that the idea sells itself – the Cloud and SaaS vendors recognize the problem as they get to scale, but they need a Switzerland-like solution to the problem so that all the other Cloud/SaaS vendors will play ball, rather than having SalesForce roll out one solution, and then each other SaaS vendor rolling out their own, and having a balkanization of user provisioning that is just as bad as the current situation.
There's a pipeline of future partners already, and each partnership is a matter of sorting out the public and private APIs, or more primitive methods if necessary, of integrating. The point is to get the "dirty work" done behind the scenes so that the user experience of provisioning cloud and SaaS applications is seamless.
Inside-the-firewall applications can also leverage Conformity's service – already Conformity leverages SAML, SSO, and AD/LDAP, but as well, automated provisioning or deprovisioning can be done for internal applications.
I also asked about the genesis of the SaaS working group, which just had its inaugural webinar yesterday. Scott's response was that SaaS has had a lot of success in the mid-market, but that to really penetrate the Fortune 500 they have to make SaaS more accessible to those organizations existing policies and procedures. The SaaS working group is designed to explore those issues and propose solutions to them, or direction for vendors to address these barriers to adoption. The idea of the working group is more thought leadership than standards – they won't be releasing an XML spec or API, but they will be exploring these key issues around the use and governance of SaaS and Cloud solutions.
The value proposition for customers of course is straightforward:
- Centralized management of myriad SaaS applications, allowing companies to leverage the benefits of SaaS without losing control.
- Better governance
- Reduced risk
- Reducing the cost of "empty seats" (seats that weren't reassigned or decommissioned as turnover occurs).
The Enterprise SaaS Working Group webinar last week was a good inaugural event. Each of the board members was introduced and provided their own take on some of the chief challenges for SaaS adoption. Attendees included Michael Amend, Director of Enterprise Architecture at Dell; Scott Carruth, VP of Information Systems at Initiate Systems; Doug Harr, CIO of Ingres Corporation; Tom Fisher, VP of Cloud Computing at SuccessFactors; Steve Coplan, Sr Analyst, Enterprise Security at 451 Group; Peter Coffee, Director of Platform Research at Salesforce.com; and Ryan Nichols, VP of Cloudsourcing and Cloud Strategy at Appirio.
Peter Coffee of Salesforce kicked off the session with two barriers in two words: "can't" and "or". The point being, that when a someone says that something can't be done in Cloud or SaaS solutions, his take is that you can define requirements, costs, and a path for getting there. When someone says that something can be on-premise "or" cloud app it misses the point from his point of view. Tom Fisher points out that making the applications as accessible as consumer applications (from a usability, look-and-feel point of view) is key to increasing adoption. Steve Copland points to security as the chief barrier to adoption in his opinion- not that these issues are unique to SaaS, but that the SaaS solutions highlight this gap in most organizations' policies, procedures, and governance.
Looking forward, Ryan Nichols of Appirio believes that the next 5 years most infrastructure will be moving to the cloud, or "cloudsourced". Doug Harr takes this a step further – that while the second half of the first decade of the new Millenium has been a maturing process for the Cloud, going forward funding is only going to the Cloud – new enterprise applications are simply not being built to run on-premise, they're being built to run in the Cloud.
There was general agreement that one can use several layers of abstraction in the Cloud – from building SaaS infrastructure from scratch, to building LAMP solutions and deploying into the Cloud, to leveraging one of the many layers of frameworks available to Cloud application developers. In some cases it makes sense to build these solutions directly onto Force.com, for example.
There was general discomfort with the term "private cloud" as it is often used. One usage proposed was that a private cloud was shorthand for a more efficient atomization and utilization of resources within a corporation – denoting the style of managing these assets. Another usage was the idea of a cloud behind a virtual private network – "behind the firewall" so to speak. Peter Coffee chimed in that if you have a bursty workload, you want to be in the cloud so that you're not paying for peak load during non-peak times, but that if private cloud techniques help IT shops think in more modular, flexible terms, then that's a good thing.
Most of the group sees consolidation as inevitable – that very few cloud frameworks will survive is already apparent. There is a proliferation of applications leveraging these frameworks being rolled out. Doug Harr in particular finds the consolidation disappointing because he'd like to be able to pick and choose best-of-breed in the future, but he also sees consolidation as an inevitable part of the market maturation.
Overall, this was a great webinar to expose newcomers to Enterprise Cloud/SaaS challenges. It also gives a sense for why Conformity may be in the right place at the right time with tools for governance and provisioning as the market evolves.

- As featured in The Independent.
"I don't believe a word of Pietersen's book, but then I don't believe a word anyone else has said either."
- Simon Barnes renders further comment on KP's autobiography superfluous in a sentence
Firstly, sensational reaction from the French to the haka - not sure if they're permitted to do that given the IRB wants both sides behind their 10 metre lines but I'm not complaining if they breached an IRB ruling.
Relying on Stephen Donald to see out 45 minutes in a World Cup final with a five point lead...didn't see that coming. Such a woeful run of injuries to our flyhalves that its become farcical.
Also wouldn't have anticipated Tony Woodcock being the only pointscorer at halftime, although really Weepu should've been able to extend the lead with some relatively comfortable penalty attempts.
All in all, think France are playing well and frustrating the ABs with their solid defence. Save for a lapse in concentration when Woodcock found a huge hole in their line-out, and its been pretty even.
Nervous as hell with a tiny five point lead. Anything could happen from here.
Stating the obvious but we need to kick better. Not just goalkicking either - some of the field kicks towards the end of the second half were ugly.
Must score first in second half.
disappointing 1st half.
both teams were ordinary...
weepu , as I inticipated, is having a nightmare...
it's been a mistakes galore imo.
we need to score tries if we are to win (actually france don't look like getting any points so we just gotta keep it tight)
ref's been a bit lenient to us...
Director conveniently not showing the high tackle again. Must have been a nailed-on penalty then.

Surprised to see no highlights (on the feed I'm watching anyway) of France penalty miss and Donald penalty - both were very close to upright.
NZ are playing ****e, not going to choke again are they?
NZ looking rather lethargic here, referee still not giving anything against them mind.
Well then.

• Our guiding principle is to make sure everyone goes home in the same condition as they came to work. • We never speak of safety in terms of dollars or productivity. These are positive throw-offs from safe practices. Safety is about people...it's never about money. • Through a lot of focus and hard work our safety initiative over the past 10 years has expanded dramatically. • Comprehensive safety training, not just general plant requirements such as Lock-Out Tag-Out and Arc Flash, but expanded training such as Hand Injuries Prevention, Hearing-Loss Prevention, Ergonomic Work Practices and Ladder Safety. • Our safety program has staff dedicated to overseeing the execution of the program and the advancement of our safety initiative. • Our safety program is consistently evolving to meet our customer's requirements and maintain OSHA compliance. • Frequent training i.e. weekly / monthly / annual / job or task specific.

Leggett & Platt To Acquire Western Pneumatic Tube
CARTHAGE, Mo., Dec. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Leggett & Platt (NYSE:LEG) today announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Western Pneumatic Tube Holding, LLC, a leading provider to the aerospace industry of integral components for critical aircraft systems. The transaction is structured as a cash purchase at an enterprise value of $188 million, is subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory clearance, and is expected to close by January 31, 2012. The operations will constitute a new, stand-alone business unit within Leggett & Platt's Industrial Materials segment. The acquisition is expected to be slightly accretive to Leggett & Platt's EPS in the first year.
Western's current annual sales are approximately $60 million and rising, reflecting strong anticipated industry growth. The company is based in Kirkland, Washington, with an additional facility near San Diego, California. Western specializes in fabricating thin-walled, large diameter, welded tubing and specialty formed products from titanium, nickel-based alloys, stainless steels and other high strength metals for leading aerospace suppliers and OEMs. Western's products are utilized in demanding environments where product integrity and durability are paramount. Requirements regarding weight, corrosion, wear, and extreme temperature differentials necessitate the use of advanced, difficult-to-process alloys. The products are integral components of critical aircraft systems including fuel, hydraulic, pneumatic, environmental, stability, life support and cooling.
David S. Haffner, Leggett & Platt's President and CEO, said, "We are excited about Western, an advantageously positioned provider of integral, value-added components with significant technical content. Our strategic, long-term, 4-5% annual growth objective envisions periodic acquisition of companies exactly like Western: high-quality businesses with secure, leading positions in growing, profitable, attractive markets. Given Western's competitive position and Leggett's keen familiarity with tubing manufacturing and metal-working processes, this acquisition—our largest since we changed strategic direction in late 2007—is an excellent match for Leggett."
FOR MORE INFORMATION: Visit Leggett's website at www.leggett.com.COMPANY DESCRIPTION: Leggett & Platt (NYSE: LEG) is a diversified manufacturer (and member of the S&P 500) that conceives, designs and produces a variety of engineered components and products that can be found in most homes, offices, and automobiles. The 128-year-old firm is comprised of 19 business units, 18,000 employee-partners, and 130 manufacturing facilities located in 18 countries.

Find the perfect Polaris Snowmobile for your riding needs and style.
Click here for additional tech info
World's most advanced snowmobile chassis – light, rigid and perfectly balanced for precise handling even in the nastiest terrain.
The QuickDrive Low Inertia System is designed to provide quicker acceleration and increased "flickability" through reduced rotating mass. Not simply a belt-drive, it is a complete lightweight drive system — featuring an extruded drive shaft, lightweight brake, RMK-specific brake caliper and of course the most visible piece of the system — a maintenance-free belt drive that requires no oil or tensioner system. Reduces rotational inertia by 21% which means 5lb. less effort when carving.
The heart of any mountain sled is the rear suspension. The RMK Coil-Over Rear Suspension is designed for better flotation and deep snow performance with improved on-trail ride. By eliminating the torsion springs and redesigning the torque arms, this skid weighs substantially less. In addition, it is tunable to the snow conditions. A simple turn of the spring preload adjustment allows you change your set-up from deep powder to crusted snow.
The new PowderTrac™ running boards have been developed for maximum snow clean out and maximum strength. Built from extruded aluminum with bonded cast lugs, they boast an open area of over 50% and integrated traction that is machined in for sure footed performance.
Mountain snowmobiling has changed and so has its seat. The RMK features a new seat design. Shorter by 5.5" allowing you to easily swing a leg from one side to the other —along with a 3.75" wider, flatter area for more comfortable seated riding.
Confidence comes standard. When you have a sled that responds to your every input, you've got a sled that you can trust. From technical tree riding to a demanding sidehill and turn out, the Pro-Ride chassis helps make you a better rider. Better weight transfer for Rider Active Control, and 300% more rigid chassis for more precise handling. Now with carbon fiber overstructure for reduced weight without compromising strength.
This liquid-cooled Cleanfire® engine with semi-direct injection (SDI) delivers outstanding throttle response and instant acceleration. These powerful, efficient engines produce the impressive power-to-weight ratios that deep snow riders demand. Cleanfire engines start easily and reliably and they calibrate automatically as the temperature and elevation change. These engines deliver impressive fuel economy in real-world riding situations, which, for Polaris riders, means aggressive, up-tempo riding, not low-rev lab conditions.
By using technology to improve our manufacturing, we continue to build lighter, stronger sleds. For 2013, we've added Bonded Lower Control Arms featuring forged aluminum ends and steel tubing. This process makes for a set of control arms that are 2 lbs. lighter. We've also added a Bonded Front Torque Arm to the rear suspension. With cast aluminum connections and steel tubing, we've eliminated 0.5 lbs. and weld fatigue issues.
The low-profile LED tailight, lightweight punched snow flap with hand access and carbon fiber bumper with extruded billet mounts add style and function. New, narrower tunnel cooling extrusions save weight.
High-rise aluminum design and adjustable bar clamp creates an optimum riding position that can be tailored to your riding style. Bar hooks and race-style master cylinder round out the purpose-built controls.
Prevents unauthorized driveaway of idling sled, and can be installed by dealer on sleds with Pro-Ride Gauge.
Pro-RMK shocks are a rebuildable, IFP, mono-tube design.

I was able to take advantage of a perfect day in January with a Terrain Dominator (R) friend. We arrived early, the snow was perfect, the weather was blue-bird. I made a bad move while side hilling and ended up as shown...stuck. I ended up going directly straight down, forced to use my newly learned side-hilling techniques to go to the left around the trees. It was one of the first times I had the confidence to do this maneuver. Being "forced" to push your limits is what I love about the sport. It will never get boring learning to TERRAIN DOMINATE! My Polaris 800 Pro is the perfect instrument to do so!

As this week went along, I felt like I wasn't really doing much in the way of preschool, but then when I sat down and started compiling this post, I realized how much we had actually done! Using the five senses as a theme is a fairly easy, because there are just so many options of activities to choose from. Some people even do a whole week on each one of the senses. I just picked a couple of activities for each sense, and that worked well for us. We also did a couple of activities that focused on all of the senses together.
Read all about our basic home preschool plan here, and our list of themes with links to the other weekly theme posts here.
Picture Books
The Magic School Bus series is so cute, and the books are graphically rich and full of great information presented in a silly way that will grab your preschooler's attention. This week we read The Magic School Bus Explores the Senses by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degan. It is fairly long, so we didn't read it all in one sitting. Instead, we read about one of the senses, then did our related activity, while we talked about what we had learned.
Other picture books we enjoyed this week were:
First Human Body Encyclopedia by DK Publishing
Toes, Ears, and Nose by Karen Katz
Inside Your Outside: All About the Human Body (Cat in the Hat series) by Tish Rabe
The Ear Book by Al Perkins
The Eye Book by Dr. Seuss
The Nose Book by Al Perkins
Binocular Craft
Make binoculars out of toilet paper tubes. We always save these, so we have plenty for crafts. Paint them and then let them dry, or just use markers or stickers to decorate. Using white school glue, glue them together then clamp together with small binder clips while they dry. Punch holes in the outer edge, add a string and a simple knot so that you can wear them around your neck, and voila-- you've got binoculars! My girls loved these, and spent lots of time this week spying out of our back window at the birds (and at our neighbors-- haha).
To show the girls how powerful their sense of sight is, I had them wear a toboggan pulled over their eyes and gently guided them around the house. There were lots of giggles, and they were able to see how much they rely on their sense of sight.
Make scented play dough, and then see if your little ones can identify what the scents are. I used our favorite homemade play dough recipe (doubled), divided it into 4 parts, and then added cinnamon, vanilla, ground coffee beans, and lemon juice. Lena was able to identify every one except the lemon, which didn't smell very strongly. After we had done our smelling, I added food coloring to it for their free play.
These were so much fun, and not nearly as much trouble to put together as I had anticipated. It took me less than 5 minutes to gather our eggs and all the fillings. Grab some plastic eggs (leftover from Easter) and anything that will make an interesting sound. I used a bottle cap, pompoms, mini erasers, a jingle bell, coins, popcorn kernels, black beans, marbles, rice, buttons, beads, and dried pasta.
Use any sensory bin to talk about how things feel. Discuss how the items feel in your hands, on your feet, or on another part of your body, like your arm. This is a great way to illustrate how our touch receptors are stronger on certain parts of our bodies than others.
I pulled out last week's flower sensory bin, which I hadn't put away yet, and let the girls play with it after we read about the sense of touch.
Drawing on Backs
Draw shapes or letters on your child's back and see what they can identify. Explain how their touch receptors are sending messages to their brains.
Touchy-Feely Box
Use an old wipes box and put a variety of objects inside. Have your children reach in to see what they can identify. I used a crayon, chapstick, feathers, marbles, a hair tie, a mint, a binder clip, several small wooden blocks, a puzzle piece, a cotton ball, a sponge, a button, small Russian nesting dolls, and some small animal figurines.
Set up a simple taste test for your kids. Choose foods that are sweet, salty, bitter, and sour. Try placing the different foods on the different areas of our tongues that are more receptive to those particular tastes. We also experimented with holding our noses while we ate to see how it affected our sense of taste.
All Five Senses
Popcorn is the perfect snack for a Five Senses theme. You can listen to it pop, then describe how it smells, feels, looks, and tastes. It's also yummy. Make sure your children are old enough to eat it, and supervise them closely!
You can easily use a Mr. Potato Head to discuss the five senses, since he comes with all the appropriate parts! As we read some of our books this week, I gave each of my girls a Potato Head, and had them pick out and add the appropriate parts as we came to them in our reading. Ask your child to add the part that is needed for sight, for hearing, etc.
There are also 5 episodes of Sid The Science Kid on the senses. They are available on the PBS kids app. We didn't have time to watch them this week, but always love the show.
Next week we'll be learning all about the buildings and construction.

|Yankees RHP Tanaka has first workout in Florida
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 12 February 2014 11:30
Tanaka worked out Wednesday at the minor league part of the Yankees' spring training complex. Pitching coach Larry Rothschild said Tanaka ''looked good'' during a long toss session.
Tanaka recently signed a $155 million, seven-year contract and was introduced Tuesday at Yankee Stadium. He was 24-0 with a 1.27 ERA last year while leading the Rakuten Golden Eagles to the Japan Series title.
It should be determined in the next couple days when the 25-year-old right-hander will throw off a mound.
Yankees pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report for spring training Friday.

MARAShort for Mobile Augmented Reality Applications MARA is a Nokia research project that uses camera-equipped mobile devices as platforms for sensor-based, video see-through mobile Augmented Reality. The MARA prototype application uses accelerometers in all three axes to determine orientation, a tilt compensated compass for heading, and GPS for positioning. If the absolute location and orientation of a camera is known, along with the properties of the lens, it's possible to determine exactly what parts of the scene are viewed by the camera.

December 21, 2014
RENTON, Wash. (AP) -- Edgerrin James is not practicing yet with the Seahawks. Neither is T.J. Duckett.
Seattle practiced Tuesday morning without James, the league's active leading rusher who reportedly has an agreement on a new contract with the team.
James was not at team headquarters or in the Seattle area through Monday night and had not taken a physical, so a contract was not finished.
The Seattle Times reported seeing James' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, in the lobby of team headquarters as practice began.
Duckett was also missing. A team spokesman said the veteran running back is still on the roster, hours after an Internet report that Seattle is releasing him to make roster room for James.
