Intelligence gathering is vital for the paramilitary CRPF, whose role has significantly changed from maintaining law and order to conducting counter-insurgency operations, Home Minister P. Chidambaram said Wednesday
Lauding the role of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in Jammu and Kashmir and the northeast, Chidambaram said intelligence gathering plays very important role in combating Maoism and insurgency.
He was speaking at the inauguration of the CRPF's dedicated intelligence cell at Kadarpur here.
Chidambaram said that although intelligence collection is the task of the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and the state police forces, the CRPF's dedicated setup is meant to collect specific inputs relating to its counter-insurgency and anti-Maoist operations.
CRPF director general K. Vijay Kumar said: 'With the establishment of CRPF Intelligence School, the force now will have its own integrated intelligence setup right from directorate to unit level. It will help in the vertical and seamless flow of intelligence.'
Faculty drawn from the Intelligence Bureau, the Research and Analysis Wing, Military Intelligence and the Central Bureau of Investigation will train the CRPF personnel. The home ministry has sanctioned 468 posts for the intelligence setup from constables to commandants. The CRPF has already appointed retired inspector general of police as Consultant (Intelligence) to head the new wing.

Washington Technology Digest
Compiled By IEEE-USA Staff
The following is a recap of new and notable developments in electrical engineering and computer or information technology emerging from the federal government and its research partners in November and late October.
A survey encompassing 363 leading U.S. nanotechnology scientists and engineers and representative sampling of American households suggests that those working in this emerging field of technology are more concerned about its health and environmental impacts than the public at large. The findings stand in contrast to other technologies such as nuclear power and genetically modified foods, where public perception of risks were much higher than those of scientists and engineers. The difference in perception was attributed to the relative newness of nanotechnology and the fact that nanotechnology and its health or environmental implications have received little media attention to date.
The survey indicated that the public's primary concern with emerging nanotechnologies is the loss of privacy and the potential for loss of U.S. jobs. By contrast, 20 percent of scientists were concerned with nanotechnology-related pollution and 30 percent were apprehensive of potential health risks.
The study was funded by the National Science Foundation as part of the Center for Nanotechnology in Society at Arizona State University and the UW-Madison Graduate School.

In related news, on 8 Nov. 2007, the President's Office of Science and Technology Policy released a set of principles for nanotechnology environmental, health and safety oversight by federal departments and agencies.

A team of Brown University physicists funded by the National Science Foundation have reported research indicating that the same pairs of electrons that form in superconductors can also form in their opposite – electrical insulators.
"Our finding is quite counterintuitive," said James Valles, a Brown professor of physics who led the research. "Cooper pairing is not only responsible for conducting electricity with zero resistance, but it can also be responsible for blocking the flow of electricity altogether."
Although present in both superconductors and insulators, researchers believe that the Cooper Pairs behave differently in each instance. In superconductors, pairs link up and move in a linear way to create a continuous stream of electric current. But in the insulating film, the pairs spin solo like couples twirling on a ballroom dance floor.
The findings are expected to help researchers understand the limits of superconductivity and could lead to insulated wires that conduct electricity without heating up.

U.S. institutions awarded a record number of science and engineering (S&E) doctorates in the academic year ending in June 2006, charting their fourth consecutive annual increase and a 6.7 percent increase over 2005.
According to the NSF's Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED), U.S. institutions awarded 29,854 S&E doctorates with biological sciences, computer sciences, mathematics, chemistry, social sciences and engineering reaching all time highs. In Computer Science, the number of doctoral awards rose from its previous high of 1,130 in 2005 to 1,452 in 2006. Electrical engineering doctorate awards rose from 1,851 in 2005 to 2,133 in 2006. In 2006, 890 of the Computer Science doctorates and 1,563 of the electrical engineering doctorates were awarded to non-U.S. citizens.
From 1997 to 2006, awards of all S&E doctorates grew by 9.6 percent, with increases concentrated in the last four years. During the same 10-year period, doctorates awarded in all fields grew by 7.2 percent. But awards in non-S&E fields remained relatively level; thus, increases in S&E fields account for most of the growth in doctorates awarded.
In 2006, 15,947 doctorates were awarded to non-U.S. citizens, including 1,829 individuals who were permanent residents and 14,118 who were in the United States on a temporary visa. Awards to non-U.S. citizens constituted 45.2 percent of awards to those in S&E fields who reported citizenship status.
"While the overall number of S&E doctorates is going up, the rate of increase in doctorate awards in the last 5 years is higher for non-U.S. citizens than for U.S. citizens, 44.1 percent vs. 7.6 percent," said Jaqui Falkenheim, SED project manager at NSF.
The survey was sponsored by six federal agencies: NSF, the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Additional data for all fields of study will be available in the interagency report Doctorate Recipients from U.S. Universities: Summary Report 2006 at www.norc.uchicago.edu/issues/docdata.htm. The full set of detailed tables about S&E doctorates from this survey will be available in the report Science and Engineering Doctorate Awards: 2006 at www.nsf.gov/statistics/doctorates/
In late October, the President's Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) announced the appointment of Dr. Christopher L. Greer as Director of the National Coordination Office (NCO) for Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD), the office that coordinates interagency planning, budget and assessment activities for the $3+ billion Federal Networking and Information Technology Research and Development program. As director of the this office, Dr. Greer also serves as co-chair of the National Science and Technology Council's Subcommittee on Networking and Information Technology Research and Development.
Dr. Greer succeeds Dr. Charles H. Romine, who served as National Coordination Office Acting Director since February 2007. Dr. Greer had previously served at the National Science Foundation (NSF) as Program Director for the Office of Cyber Infrastructure and was responsible for strategic planning for digital data activities. A Ph.D. biochemist, Dr. Greer was a member of the faculty at the University of California at Irvine before coming to NSF.
In October, Joshua Fairley, an electrical engineer and program manager for the near-surface phenomenology program at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, Miss., received the Department of Defense's prestigious David O. Cooke Excellence in Public Administration award for his work in Countermine Phenomenology, Joint Antiterrorism/Force Protection and Antiterrorist Barrier programs.
Fairley was recognized for developing an automated target recognition algorithm and method for detecting improvised explosive devices (IEDs), which improved the accuracy of electro-optical and infrared detection sensor systems by 75 percent, with fewer false alarms. Fairley also developed software systems and a testing apparatus for an antiterrorist barrier system, which is now in use by both military and civilian communities.

A robotized, self-driving 2007 Chevy Tahoe called Boss made history by driving swiftly and safely while sharing the road with human drivers and other robots. The feat earned Carnegie Mellon University's Tartan Racing first place in the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency's (DARPA) Urban Challenge.
DARPA officials declared Boss the winner of the 3 Nov. event, which pitted 11 autonomous vehicles against each other on a course of suburban/urban roadways. After reviewing judges' scorecards overnight, DARPA officials concluded that Boss followed California driving laws as it navigated the course and that it operated in a safe and stable manner.
According to DARPA Director Tony Tether, many of the robots made good decisions. That meant speed became the determining factor, Tether said, and Boss was the fastest of the competitors by a large margin. Boss averaged about 14 miles an hour over approximately 55 miles, finishing the course about 20 minutes ahead of the second-place finisher, Stanford.

Engineers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed and tested a laser-based ranging system to assess the performance of automobile collision warning systems. Researchers in industry and at the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) will be able to use the NIST technology to accelerate the development and commercialization of safety systems that alert drivers to multiple, and sometimes virtually simultaneous potential crash hazards—both from forward or side collisions as well as from running off the road. DOT believes that such warning systems could reduce substantially the number and severity of injuries to motorists and save lives.
To evaluate the performance of crash warning systems, which generally use radar, researchers needed an accurate measurement tool based on entirely different principles. NIST researchers developed an independent measurement system (IMS) consisting of a camera and microphone in the cab to detect the driver warning, a suite of calibrated cameras to measure the distance to lane boundaries and laser scanners to measure the distance to obstacles forward and to the side of the vehicle. The system can be mounted on cars or trucks with trailers and requires no modifications or connections to the warning system being tested. The NIST system can detect an object to within about eight-tenths of a meter, from up to 60 meters away, at speeds up to 25 m/s (within 33 inches, at a distance of 197 feet, and at speeds up to 56 mph).
The Department of Transportation is currently analyzing the test data. If the results pass DOT muster, the next step calls for a DOT/auto industry partnership to equip approximately 20 automobiles and 10 trucks with the warning systems. Volunteer motorists and truckers would be asked to use vehicles on the highway for a month. For further information, see www.its.dot.gov/ivbss or "Objective Test Scenarios for Integrated Vehicle-based Safety Systems" by John J. Ference, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration; Sandor Szabo, NIST; and Wassim G. Najm, Volpe National Transportation System Center (http://www.nist.gov/cgi-bin/exit_nist.cgi?url=http://www.itsdocs.fhwa.dot.gov/IJPODOCS/REPTS_TE/13759.pdf)
Researchers at the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado at Boulder have developed a unique way of growing hexagonal gallium nitride (GaN) nanowires featuring low-defect density and high-luminescence intensity. The resulting nanowires have a mechanical "quality factor" at least 10 times higher than reported values for other nanoscale devices such as carbon nanotubes, and comparable to that of commercial quartz crystals. Because a high Q factor indicates a capacity for stable vibrations, the nanowires might be used as oscillators in nano-electromechanical systems for future nano-sensors and communications devices.
The results are highlighted in S.M. Tanner, J.M. Gray, C.T. Rogers, K.A. Bertness and N.A. Sanford. 2007. High-Q GaN Nanowire Resonators and Oscillators. Applied Physics Letters. 91, 203117 (2007).

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a mechanical fatigue process that eventually leads to cracks and breakdown in bulk silicon crystals. Their results have important implications for the design of new silicon-based micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) devices that have been proposed for a wide variety of uses.
Silicon — the backbone of the semiconductor industry — is one the world's most heavily studied materials, and it has long been believed to be immune to fatigue from cyclic stresses because of the nature of its crystal structure and chemical bonds. And indeed, conventional tests have validated this. Recent research into silicon MEMS devices, however, has revealed that these microscopic systems that incorporate tiny gears, vibrating reeds and other mechanical features do seem to develop stress-induced cracks that can lead to failure. Why this happens at the microscopic scale is a matter of debate. One school of thought holds that the effect is purely mechanical, due to friction, and the other argues that it essentially is caused by corrosion—a chemical effect. Because the effect has only been noticed at submicrometer scales, it has been difficult to determine which theory is correct. The NIST team, which includes a researcher from the University of Extremadura in Spain, theorizes that the critical element in their experiments is the addition of shear stress (causing the crystal planes to slide against each other), a component missing in conventional tensile strength tests but not uncommon in real-world applications.
The research results are highlighted in S. Bhowmick, J.J. Meléndez-Martínez and B.R. Lawn. Bulk silicon is susceptible to fatigue. Applied Physics Letters 91, 201902. Published online 13 November 2007.

On 28 Nov., U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) officials publicly commended Dominion North Anna, LLC (Dominion) for submission of a combined Construction and Operating License (COL) application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for construction of a new nuclear power plant in the United States. Dominion's application seeks approval to build and operate a General Electric-Hitachi Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (ESBWR) at its North Anna site near Mineral, Virginia, and will serve as the reference application for future utilities applying to construct an ESBWR. After nearly a 30-year period without any applications submitted to the NRC, the Dominion North Anna application marks the third complete construction application to build a new nuclear reactor received in just three months.
See DOE press release at: http://www.doe.gov/news/5749.htm
Earlier, in October, DOE commended the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the NuStart Energy Development consortium (NuStart) for submission of its combined Construction and Operating License (COL) application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). This application marks the second to the NRC in nearly 30 years to build a new nuclear reactor. Specifically, TVA's application seeks approval to build and operate two Westinghouse AP1000 advanced commercial nuclear reactors at its Bellefonte site near Hollywood, Alabama, and will serve as the reference application for future utilities applying for an AP1000 COL.
See DOE press release at:www.doe.gov/sciencetech/5674.htm
In related news, in early November, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) announced that it is leading a $3 million research project that will pair two of the world's most powerful supercomputers to boost the safety and reliability of next-generation nuclear power reactors. The three-year project, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, will call upon a diverse team of researchers and institutions to create highly detailed computer models of a new proposed type of nuclear reactor.
See press release at: www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2007-11/rpi-ust110107.php
The Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) is also using supercomputers to expand their nuclear energy research into new territory. With the recent arrival of the new IBM Blue Gene/P and the lab's development of advanced computer models, Argonne is researching the potential to repeatedly burn nuclear fuel that now sits as waste, thus closing the nuclear fuel cycle and reducing the risk of nuclear proliferation.
See ANL press release at: www.anl.gov/Media_Center/News/2007/news071127.html
On 8 Nov., the Department of Energy (DOE) announced that it will invest $21.7 million in next-generation photovoltaic (PV) technology to help accelerate the widespread use of advanced solar power. The 25 projects that DOE selected are an integral part of the President's Solar America Initiative, which aims to make solar energy cost-competitive with conventional sources of electricity by 2015. The projects will be implemented at 15 universities and 6 companies; each award averages $900,000 from DOE over three years (Fiscal Years 2008 – 2010). DOE will provide up to $21.7 million in funding, subject to final project negotiations and congressional appropriations. With cost-sharing, the total investment in research will be up to $30.3 million.
For more information, see: www.doe.gov/news/5690.htm
The announcement follows news in late October of groundbreaking for a highly efficient and "green" Research Support Facility (RSF) and related renewable power projects at the Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). NREL's new Research Support Facility promises to be one of the most "green" buildings ever constructed; a new Renewable Fuel Heating Plant will use biomass to cut NREL's future natural gas use by 75 percent; and the Mesa Top PV Project – a new five-acre photovoltaic array, and one of the largest solar power systems in Colorado – will help power the lab's main campus.
NREL's Renewable Fuel Heating Plant will provide heat to the RSF and other research buildings on the Laboratory's South Table Mountain campus by using biomass such as wood chips from forest thinning along Colorado's Front Range. The Mesa Top PV Project will be located near the NREL Solar Radiation Research Laboratory, and will produce an estimated 750kW of clean, renewable electric power from solar energy that will be used on site. This five-acre span of solar panels is expected to be completed in May 2008, and will provide 7 percent of NREL's electricity needs.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, along with collaborators in Turkey and Japan, have created a compact device that could lead to portable, battery-operated sources of T-rays, or terahertz radiation. By doing so, the researchers, led by Ulrich Welp of Argonne's Materials Science Division, have successfully bridged the "terahertz gap" – scientists' name for the range of frequencies between microwaves (on the lower side) and infrared (on the higher side) of the electromagnetic spectrum.
While scientists and engineers have produced microwave radiation using conventional electric circuits for more than 50 years, Welp said, terahertz radiation could not be generated that way because of the physical limitations of the semiconducting circuit components.
Unlike far more energetic X-rays, T-rays do not have sufficient energy to "ionize" an atom by knocking loose one of its electrons. This ionization causes the cellular damage that can lead to radiation sickness or cancer. Since T-rays are non-ionizing radiation, like radio waves or visible light, people exposed to terahertz radiation will suffer no ill effects. Furthermore, although terahertz radiation does not penetrate through metals and water, it does penetrate through many common materials, such as leather, fabric, cardboard and paper.
These qualities make terahertz devices one of the most promising new technologies for airport and national security. Unlike today's metal or X-ray detectors, which can identify only a few obviously dangerous materials, checkpoints that look instead at T-ray absorption patterns could not only detect but also identify a much wider variety of hazardous or illegal substances.
T-rays can also penetrate the human body by almost half a centimeter, and they have already begun to enable doctors to better detect and treat certain types of cancers, especially those of the skin and breast, Welp said. Dentists could also use T-rays to image their patients' teeth.
For more information, see www.anl.gov/Media_Center/News/2007/MSD071123.html. The research results are also reported in "Emission of Coherent THz Radiation from Superconductors," which appears in the 23 November issue of Science.
Scientists at the University of Virginia have discovered a new class of hydrogen storage materials for use in high-performance hydrogen fuel cells that could make the storage and transportation of energy more efficient and affordable. Researchers Bellave S. Shivaram and Adam B. Phillips presented their findings at the International Symposium on Materials Issues in a Hydrogen Economy on 12 November in Richmond, Va.
"In terms of hydrogen absorption, these materials could prove a world record," Phillips said. "Most materials today absorb only 7 to 8 percent of hydrogen by weight, and only at cryogenic temperatures. Our materials absorb hydrogen up to 14 percent by weight at room temperature. By absorbing twice as much hydrogen, the new materials could help make the dream of a hydrogen economy come true." Phillips' and Shivaram's research was supported by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy.

Hi, Thanks for responding to my last question and recommending the s&f chateau orleans for my bulging disc and fibro. I will test it out but, I tried the sealy springfree weybridge, which is pretty firm. Would this be good support for my lower back with a topper added for the fibro? I liked the support and was going to purchase it this week. Will wait for your response. Also will the latex sag over time?Thank you very much for your help. Nona
Hi Nona. The Weybridge is an excellent mattress. I didn't think to suggest it because it is so firm. The latex will hold it's shape better. The things I don't know about you are your weight and sleeping position. Bulging discs, if allowed to continue to bulge further, become herniated. If you are a back sleeper, all of your weight is above your spine and gravity presses that weight down....pushing on those discs. If the mattress has too much give, that disc condition worsens faster...and that excellerates with increased body weight. Latex is contouring support, while the support of the large heavy coils in the S&F is more rigid. Do to your fibro, I steered you toward the Chateau Orleans. But if you like the firmer feel of the Weybridge, you should also consider the S&F Caravelle. If you're a side sleeper, you'll benefit from the contouring support of latex. If you're a back sleeper, it could make matters worse, long term.

Lauren Grant, originally from Gibsons, is no stranger to producing films. She's been the principal at Clique Pictures since 2006 and has made some inroads into the industry by working on several films, some of which have won awards.
Just recently her career branched in a new direction. She's been chosen from among several hundred applicants to be one of three apprentices to the Bell Media Producer Accelerator Lab. She will undertake a six-to-eight-month apprenticeship with one of Canada's top production companies, Temple Street Productions.
During this program she will get to know the role of television executive producer, a somewhat different role from that of a film producer. She will help develop production, develop script and raise money.
"There are so many opportunities in television right now," Grant told Coast Reporter from her current home in Toronto.
Grant describes herself as "hands-on creative" and the role of executive producer in TV involves a creative piece of everything — sometimes in the office or with the director while shooting takes place or often involved with post production. She's looking forward to it, especially to cracking the glass ceiling. Being a producer has traditionally been a job for a man.
"It's important to me as I go on to have female protagonists," she said.
One of her previous productions that earned kudos was Picture Day, a film aimed at a teens and 20s market with a strong female lead and female director.
Grant has also worked on the award-winning short films Frost and Savage.
Recent films include Traceable, a documentary about clothing and the fashion industry; it will be seen on the Bravo channel in the fall. The latest film for which she is a producer is titled Wet Bum, a coming of age drama by award-winning writer/director Lindsay MacKay.
A fourteen-year-old girl who is uncomfortable in her own body does not even like to change out of her wet bathing suit in front of the other girls before going to her after-school job in a nursing home that her mother owns. She makes friends among the people she cares for, and she develops relationships.
Wet Bum, starring Julia Sarah Stone from Vancouver and Kenneth Welsh, is currently in post production, and Grant is seeking a suitable premiere festival.
Although Grant now lives in Toronto, she lived in Gibsons for years and attended Elphinstone Secondary School, but she is not a graduate of the video production program there.
"I was always interested in film," she said, "but I took the theatre program while I was there."
She later went on to the film production course at the University of British Columbia and attended the Canadian Film Centre's Producers Lab.
More about Grant's company can be found at www.clique-pictures.com.

Black Belt Jones
Poppa Byrd is one tough old dude (played by one of the best voice-over actors ever, Scatman Crothers). He runs the baddest dojo in the whole city. Unfortunately, Poppa Byrd is a gambler, see. He owes Pinky and his gang some money, and they're the wrong people to owe some money to. Pinky is pissed, and he's coming to collect. When they get there, they offer to take Byrd's dojo in exchange for his debts, but when he doesn't see eye to eye, he takes a double neck punch straight into heaven. Wrong move, brotha! See, Byrd has a star pupil who just happens to be be one of the baddest mutha's (shut yo mouth!) in town... and his name is Black Belt Jones!
Black Belt Jones, or Belt, or Jones, or which ever one of the half-dozen names they call him opens the film by taking out a whole gaggle of bad dudes. He slams them through a cop's windshield and any other breakable surface that can be found on a car. But these guys just keep coming, so Jones (played by Jim Kelly) shows us why he's the numero uno brotha you call in sticky situations. He unloads with a fist and foot of fury that even Bruce Lee would be proud of. Belt finishes the job and takes off in his yellow sports-Gremlin and the only one left standing is a displeased cop who has returned from the donut shop to find a dozen thugs spralled all over his car.
Displease over his master's death Belt finds Byrd's daughter Sydney and after learn about who took care of Byrd's debts, they join forces to karate kick Pinky and his gang's asses. Do Black Belt and Sydney know what they're in for? Pinky has mob connections, and these bad ass brotha's mean business. Black Belt and his gang double cross the mob by robbing Peter to pay Paul, and cause a bunch of problems in the process. Someone's gonna get hurt, but I have a feeling you'll have to wait for the bubbly finale to find out who comes out on top.
Sean: Ok, I had heard a lot about this movie, and it had been in my collection for a while, but I hadn't ever watched it. I knew Jim Kelly mostly from his work on Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon, and Three The Hard Way, so I was curious to see Black Belt Jones. Let's just say it was as ridiculous as I had hoped it to be. The story is really simple, and the first half borderlines on repetitive. You end up watching Byrd's students fighting Pinky and his mobsters over and over again, and by the time you get to the second half and the mob connection in there, you almost forget that there was anything to do with mobsters in this movie at all.
Monkeyface: Jim Kelly was my favorite character in Enter the Dragon, so I was excited to see what he could do in a staring role... and I wasn't disappointed. I had seen the opening few minutes on a makeshift trailer where Belt jumps off of a car onto a thug while his theme music plays and it caught my attention. I was happy to see that Sean had a copy of this and the rest of the movie didn't disappoint. Black Belt is just a cool dude, he can throw down, drives a sweet ride, and knows how to satisfy the ladies!
Sean: Just like any blaxploitation movie, every stereotype that can be played on is fair game. The mobsters are obviously Italian, and they sit around eating pasta and making wine all day. The Don, Don Steffano looks like a lighter skinned Johnny Mathis, without the voice, but with the same 70's mullet. The rest of the gang doesn't fit the stereotype. They look like they tried to get on the bus for the nearest NASCAR event, but ended up at a movie set instead. These hicks get kicked around like Olympic soccer balls all the while wearing the t-shirts of their Jr. High alma mater.
Monkeyface: I've seen movies with tons of fighting extras before, but when these guys came out in the t-shirts from their summer camps I was in awe. It seemed like they saw a real fight break out and decided to get their "Kung-Fu Merit Badge" right on the spot. If only someone would have told them they were on a movie set and it was Jim Kelly throwing blows they might have changed their minds. But this whole movie was filled with action, and the producers didn't just go for a realistic feel, they went over the top with some things. There were some scenes where you would see Belt throw the exact same punch 10 tens just to prove how much of a badass this guy was. It was a little crazy, but got a good chuckle out of me anyways.
Sean: Jim Kelly gets down, and you can't get mad at him for that, hell you're probably watching the movie for that anyhow. And let's face it, you're probably not watching this for the story, so after a little stretch where you're not too sure where this movie is going it kicks into full action mode. Thankfully, everything stays pretty exciting with the trampolines, the laughable technology used to fool the mob, and the slippery malfunctioning car wash where 7 guys somehow get stuffed into the back of a garbage truck with out getting compacted. This one deserves 3 neck punches out of 5.
Monkeyface: I'm really suprised that Jim Kelly never went on to make more popular movies. The man isn't going to win any Oscars, but has a ton of pizaz and the sweetest fro in town! I was glad I was finally able to see this movie. The story was a little shallow, but that certainly isn't why I watched it. The action is plentiful, the laughs come in all shapes and sizes, and who doesn't love Scatman Crothers?!? I would also give it 3 pimped out afros out of 5.
Black Belt Jones is available on DVD and VHS from Amazon.com

3D Blue Ray DVD Player, An Exhilarating Experience
The 3D Blue Ray DVD Player has been taken for granted by most users despite it being around for several years. This however has changed with the Panasonic DMP-BDT220 Integrated Wi-Fi 3D Blu-ray DVD Player.
Because the 3D Blue Ray DVD Player can be used to watch 3D movies and high-quality DVDs, the technology was then not hailed as making that astronomical change until Panasonic changed everything with the DMP-BDT220. You for once have a WiFi-capable tool to view your source material – 3D, high-definition TV, high-definition sound or satellite radio, and this is from any device, as far as it is recognized by the network's router.
The Panasonic's BDT220 will work with any networked equipment you have installed, because it recognizes Wi-Fi Standard 802.11 b/g/n.
I guess what is most exciting about the Panasonic BDT220 3D Blue Ray DVD Player as it is also DLNA-compatible so that any device which uses or understands the Digital Living Network Aware standard will also work with your Blu Ray Player.
This Blu Ray player has the advantage as you do not need many cables running everywhere in your home as it uses only one High-Definition Multimedia Interface input, so needing one device to uplift your viewing experience with it's own proprietary IPTV/Viera engine. This gives you fine color and brightness of your video, unlike other players that would have given you blurred videos. The Panasonic will even enhance your 2D materials giving you a 3D viewing experience, which is quite exhilarating.

On July 30, 1975, Jimmy Hoffa waited outside the Machus Red Fox Restaurant in Bloomfield Township, Michigan. He made a call from a nearby pay phone. He was last seen leaving in a maroon 1975 Mercury Marquis Brougham. The mystery of what happened to Jimmy Hoffa is an enduring one that may remain unsolved.

"Michael Newdow, an atheist, was offended by the phrase "In God We Trust" on the coins of American currency, believing that the phrase was a state-sponsored statement of religious faith - illegal under the separation of church and state.[15] He argued that he had a right to raise his daughter "without God being imposed into her life by her schoolteachers."[16]
Some of the judges in the 2002 ruling agreed that Newdow had a right to direct the religious education of his daughter.[17] Newdow explained his view of 'freedom of religious exercise' by asking whether Christians would be glad if the atheists were in the majority and if the atheists inserted into the pledge of allegiance the phrase "one nation under NO God."[16] In an interview with Connie Chung, Newdow stated, "The Constitution says the congress will make no laws respecting an establishment of religion which means that the Supreme Court says, and as you have said, nobody should be made to feel like an outsider. And I would only ask everyone of those people to ask themselves, if they had to say every morning when they pledged allegiance to the flag, that we were one nation under Sun Myung Moon, or one nation under David Koresh, or one nation under Jesus, or one nation under Mohammad, how would they feel?"
Thus Newdow claimed that the reference to God is meaningful, and hence the court should recognize, and correct, the resulting religious bias. Meanwhile, the "under God" clause is often defended as "ceremonial deism," acceptable because it is religiously meaningless."
I read this and thought Newdow was right on the money. We should definately take "God" out of the Pledge.
Tags: allegiance, atheist, god, government, of, pledge
I try to never get myself into a situation that "demands" this kind of mind control (repeating a "pledge" to anything is relinquishing your own thoughts and preferenses to another).
when it does come up I usually, at that place insert very loudley "one nation..UNDER LAW..."
no one can argue with that, at least no one screws with me for it.
I use the "under law" as well. I also told my grand kids to use it as they have to mouth the pledge every day (my grand kids are all Atheist).
ha..the reason god's in there is...
they (fundies here) hate when 'christian' any party sides w/socialism

Dear Sir,
In your responsive design theme of opencart. In general, design layout, slideshow and product image can resize. But if I add large images(eg. 800px x 600px) to products description area, the images cannot resize in mobile devices. Many themes cut the images.
For your themes, can it re-size the images and table of mobile device in description area?
And would you any module to solve the problems?
Best Regard Kitty
Hello! For larger images you can add style to the stylesheet file mobile devices. #tab-description img{width:90%; height:auto;}
Thank your for your reply.
In your demo, the mobile size cannot display left hand side catalog menu bar. How can it display in mobile size?
Best Regard Kitty
In the file responsive.css in line 58 replace "display:none" on "float:none" #column-left, #column-right{ float:none; }

Request for Refund- Feeling cheated. WORST EXP Dear Katilina, during purchase you mentioned the theme to be IE8 compatible. But in recent testing we found that its NOT. And now even you have removed IE8 Compatibility.
In recent conversation on email, you mentioned that,
I should have tested my self if the theme was IE8 compatible. If that was required then what does your certificate of compatibility means? If I need to test myself, does it really means that NO ONE SHOULD BELIEVE AND TEST THE TEMPLATE HIMSELF FULLY BEFORE BUYING.
2) In the same Email, you mentioned, I have IE11, so CAN NOT support older version. Does it mean you will FOOL any person having issues on older version.
I am really FEELING CHEATED as I believe you. And now you are not supporting us. Due to this we are forced to face huge log of effort and money as well.
PLEASE Reconsider and refund the money as you can repay my team's effort.
Dear Ashishagw, I send you instructions. You can meet them and the theme will work on IE8. Select a different view of the slideshow and display of product "default view". Theme has 3 slideshows. I'm sorry, but the script of slideshow Pollianna does not work in IE8. This is an outdated browser. I have 2 months to reply to your letter. At first unsolved problem you require money back. I do not know what to do. I did not write to you about the IE11.
1) "Upgrade your browser. And IE11 already have" 2) "Sorry, I can not even download this browser on your computer. I have got windows8." This is what I received as reply.
Its not about 2 months. Product bug is a bug. Whenever it is found.
Refund My Money At the time of purchase, You mentioned IE8 compatible. Then what do you mean by saying "Who prevented you test it before buying?" After mentioning IE8 compatible what does this line mean?"
Its a fair ask. You can't help, already wasted my effort. I am not asking compensation for that. Its as simple as that, you cant support So refund the money.
You can follow my instructions and the theme will work in IE8 . Select a different view of the slideshow and display of product "default view". Theme has 3 slideshows. You do not do that and only require money back.
is compatible with the new OpenCart 2.x.x?
congratulations , I purchased the theme only 6 months ago and now I can throw him .
Opencart 2000 has a different structure, large differences with the previous versions. Modules for the opencart156x do not work with the opencart2000. The template need be done again
I have one question here. Does the theme support T-Shirt Customization module, because I can not run it anyway: http://coloritbg.com/ – also a strange error it showed: "Notice: Undefined variable: output in /home/colo28sv/public_html/vqmod/vqcache/vq2-catalog_view_theme_polianna_template_common_header.tpl on line 864"
One more thing, could not find where to switch of the background image slider, looks like a bug. Would you help me out with these issues.
All the best and thanks a lot. B.
Hello! A template for additional modules no Ukrainian language.Copy the installation of the archive folder catalog\language\russian and rename it ukrainian. You can change the display of slideshow in the module Polianna Theme Options.
Hello, The language is Bulgarian and would you be more specific about the archive folder – this is the only thing I need to do….and hope it starts working. The slider is fixed. Thanks a lot for your help. Appreciate it.
Rename the folder catalog\language\russian from Polianna.zip it bulgarian. Place the folder bulgarian on the server in catalog\language\... You can write to me firstname.lastname@example.com
Just wrote you. Thanks a lot. Will also try it your way…..all the best, also will be glad to have an answer from you.

I wish I had the time to deep condition my hair every week with this product.It makes my wavy, frizzy hair smoother and softer. After I use a straightener I use this to fix the damage. So far my favourite.
Are you kidding me-----this stuff is AMAZING! I still can't get over it----usually I HATE natural shamp/cond. (I generally end up with straw like hair), BUT this stuff can't be beat. I was looking for a product that would moisturize really well, not weigh down my fine hair (but I have a lot of it) and NOT test on animals (because come on---why torture the poor things for beauty products--puhhhhleaze!!!)
Anyhooo----BUY it, you won't be bummed out by this purchase
(psssst --- it's also wayyy easy to come by--it's at Whole Foods--I already shop there all the time.)
This is my HG conditioner! I love how it's natural and organic, and how you can use it as a leave in OR rinse out (I think rinse out is more effective). And also how you can use as much as you want and be confident that your hair wont be weighed down or accumulate build up! Giovanni conditioners are the best.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Really nice natural conditioner. Makes a proper difference to my hair and most things don't. I have natural red brown fine fluffy celtic hair which is really hard to keep looking half way decent. Good stuff!
makes my hair silky soft n moisturized w/o weighing it down. ive been using this for 3 months now and i still love it!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is my favorite conditioner. You can use it as a rinse out or (even better) rub a tiny amount in the palm of your hands and then run your hands through freshly shampooed, towel dried hair, blow dry optional. Leaves hair soft and silky. The product lasts longer this way and doesn't weight hair down over time.
This is rich and creamy and really seems to do an excellent job of conditioning my hair. I also liked the fact that it rinses clean and has an agreeable smell that is light. I bought mine for 7.99, but sometimes it can be on sale. Giovanni products are good if you want to stray from drugstore products onto soemthing more natural and cruelty-free.
Oh boy do I love this stuff! I have fine, naturally curly, color treated hair, and it sometimes needs extra conditioning. This reconstructor is the answer. The product itself is very thick and rich and has an ordinary conditioner smell. It immediately makes my hair silky as I apply it in the shower and then I leave it on until I am done with everything else. It makes my hair soft, silky, and bouncy. I do use Giovanni's leave-in too, followed by the styling gel and it is just a perfect combo. I am new to these products and I hope they continue to work as well in the future. I will definitely repurchase!
Giovanni how I love thee! I have medium fine, wavy, dry hair and nutrafix reconstructor has been the answer to my prayers. I get such amazing slip and smoothness without the silicones that are added to other conditioners. The best part is that Giovanni is organic! I work at a health food store and I can't believe that I ignored this product for so long. I'll definitely be repurchasing from now on!
This is my first review and I cannot say enough about this product, it is amazing. I have fine hair but LOTS of it and this wasn't too heavy although I do have some heat and bleach damage. This stuff detangles and moisturizes very well and it smells great. Hair is silky and soft, love that it has no cones!!!

dispencer1 Posts: 489Yes, the tires were overinflated -not to 40 but to 50 psi. I checked then when I got it home and bled them to 30. The car still rode stiffly . For those who are used to a "performance suspension" or "European Ride" (like every MB I've ever driven), they will love the SLE convertible. I didn't drive one before I ordered it. The coupe drove more smoothly so I figured the convertible was the same. When I got in my Malibu it felt like an old shoe. Comfortable and the shocks felt like they had some give to them. The Mustang rides harder than the Malibu but it is not uncomfortable. The Solara does fine at high speeds on a smooth interstate but for an around town driver with our bumpy city streets it is not much fun. I just decided that I didn't want to tie up $30,000 in something that was annoying and a car I had to "think" about when I drove it. In contrast I drove a new 2006 Honda Civic sedan and it rode very nicely -much smoother than the Solara. I then drove a new '05 Accord coupe and it was a lot stiffer.
dispencer1 Posts: 489I'd be interested in your replies on this subject. I thought of replacing my factory speakers on my 2000 convertible with new ones (from a newer Mustang if they are the same size).
I just have the base stereo system with CD and Cassette. I want to keep the car original so I want to keep my factory stereo but the speakers would help a lot I would assume. -
fdthird Posts: 352Replacing your speakers is supposed to be the #1 thing you can do to enhance the sound of your factory audio system. What comes from the factory was bought for price not quality. If you are going to go to the trouble of replacing speakers, I wouldn't get them from a newer Mustang but rather buy some higher quality aftermarket speakers. A place like Crutchfield will tell you exactly what will fit and I have had good luck replacing older OEM speakers with good quality ones that they recommend as exact fits.. As most will end up under some kind of grill, there will be no visual difference from the factory stuff.
fdthird Posts: 352Well, the monsoons have moved into the North East and yesterday I found the inside of my trunk damp. I have had this problem on and off for 6 months or so but yesterday I found water in the well bag behind the back seat that the top goes into when it goes down. My theory is that water gets in here, has no place ot go so drains down into the trunk.
The top is still in great shape and I am thinking there must be a seal between the top and the car body that is leaking. Anyone else had this kind of water get into their car? -
tina1994 Posts: 1Hi Medontemike. I have a 1994 GT and it sounds like we have the same problem. The car has been fabulous (I got it with 8000 miles on it mint from a dealer, it had been garage kept). The only annoying problem I've experienced is with the RPMS racing up (for no reason). It feels like the car is accelerating and sometimes it even jerks. I have had it to the dealer more times than I care to admit for this and they tell me the same thing...they don't know. I even had a black box data recorder hooked up to the car last year where I pressed a button within 10 seconds of the acceleration/raising of the RPMS and the dealer came back and told me that my computer was probably too old for them to get an accurate reading as to what is wrong. A friend of mine recently told me that he thinks it is a fuel sensor. I'm inclined to believe him as I noticed a sensitivity to when I have filled up with a tank of gas and with how old the fuel filter is and most definitely "temperature". I dont know where you live, but I am on the East coast and as the weather gets colder, this problem gets much worse.
bayoubengal72 Posts: 1Don't forget that Volkswagen has an all-wheel drive system (4Motion) available on the Jetta, Passat and Toureg, and ABS and Traction Control are standard even on the FWD models. When I bought my 99 Passat they didn't offer AWD yet, just available on Audi back then. But then I live pretty far south and we don't even get snow every year. Here I worry more about wet weather traction and my Passat wagon handles that with no problem.
extvman Posts: 1Can anyone shed any light on what might have happened here?. I have a 99 Mustang convertible that when the window is all the way up, when the door is shutting, the top of the window comes into contact with the rag top and won't close. This is on the drivers side if that makes any difference.
packattack4 Posts: 1hi my mustang window has been acting funny and falling uot of track inside the door. the actual track is working fine.. its just the glue or w/e used to hold the window in the slots on the track.. has come loose and now i cant roll down my window without worrying it will fall out of the slots. would i be able to just like use cement glue and put it back in the slots or what would i have to do?
thanks -
husqvarna Posts: 1I have a 1989 LX 5.0 Conv. The car was sitting outside for 5 years, until recently, when I acquired the car from a friend. The power top, according to my friend was working before he parked it for so long. When I push the button to retract the top, I hear just a clicking noise, coming from the power top motor, and that's it. The top does not go down. Any suggestions what I can do to troubleshoot the problem, and possibly get the top to work? I know a new conv. motor is quite expensive. I would like to eliminate that option if at all possible. Thanks.
fdthird Posts: 352Fatfish,
Sounds like the same thing I found. The problem is the same - top boot takes on water, leaks through fabric into trunk.
My mechanic had the guy he knows who does tops take a look at it and he tried a fix. Used some windshield hot apply silicone to try and seal an area where the stitching appeared to have deteriorated towards the bottom of the window. Sounded good but the bottom line is that it didn't work.
The truth is that the guy who did the work did not really think it would do the job because as he started doing the work he said he found that the window had become what he called "delaminated". I think that means that the window itself has separated from the vinyl that surrounds it which allows the water to enter.
Now, to the solution, he says, yes, as you found, replace the rear window. Now, there is an added wrinkle. He says that replacing the window on this car is such a labor intensive effort that it is cheaper to replace the entire top and window! I was shocked a bit about that because I remember that my 88 Mustang had a zip in rear window. Things are not the same. He also told me that because it is so labor intensive to replace just the window, auto insurance companies will pay to replace the whole top and it will be cheaper than just replacing the window as the whole thing goes on the car much easier.
As an asside...in looking at a 2005 Mustang convert the other day in traffic, it now appears that the window is actually a part of the top rather than a separate piece like on our cars.
Well, that's what I've learned...hope that helps and or confirms what you've found out. -
fatfish Posts: 12fdthird
Thanks for your update...I duct taped the sides of the rear window to see if this really was the problem just before a heavy rain the other day....it doesn't look good but just wanted to see what would happen.....There was still a little water in boot but not much so it appears that this maybe the problem area.....I'm going to tape the whole window and wait till next rain which is due in a couple of days.....Will insurance pay for a new top??? That's a new one on me? Will keep you in the loop..I did read that somebody used a double sided tape and this cured the problem in a Sebring. -

poohbearaz Posts: 1I have a 2001 model and have the exact same problem. The dealer told me that the window is coming unglued from where it is attached to the rest of the car. I was told that the window would have to be replaced since it comes with the part it is glued to. I was referred to a third party shop because it would cost much less. I was also told that my insurance might cover it under glass coverage.
ronnotdon Posts: 1It looks like the rear window on my 2000 mustang convertible was pushed in about 1/3 inch on the top by someone trying to break in or it just decided to not fit right on its own. Is there some way to adjust this? The seal between the side window and rear window just don't touch anymore.
stupidfool Posts: 53
fatfish Posts: 12Well I finally got around to taking the car to a local shop and water is getting via the rear window so we decided to get a new top instead of just replacing the window.....my advice is to be sure and check around before you buy....The car is a triple white and if you have a white top then you know how difficult it is to keep clean...decided to go with a dark blue Electron top...One shop wanted almost $2400 and was like a car dealership, no discount, $75 hr for labor etc etc...I am having it done at a small shop that has been around forever and it's only $1075....Same top etc so do your homework before you buy. I don't think you'll find another white 2000 Mustang with white leather seats and dark blue top around so it will be unique....Thanks to all for their input.

H3 Therapy's specialized hyperbaric treatment may be based on a complex scientific principle, but its main ingredient is simple: oxygen. First, the inflating chamber is infused with filtered air that pressurizes the immediate atmosphere. As the pressure increases, oxygen gently pushes its way into the client's bloodstream. According to the system's technicians, this oxygen boost helps the body heal and may even ease symptoms associated with autism, multiple sclerosis, and sports injuries. The chamber can be depressurized and opened from within, and it features a buzzer that occupants can push for help at any time. With these two exceptions, hyperbaric therapy is completely hands-free, so clients can spend the session winding down with a book or trying to connect with their spirit animal.
