Subject: Electric Vehicle Position
Reference: Your November 21, 1995, Memo (Attached)
You requested PNGV to provide a position on straight electric vehicles (vs hybrid electrics). As you know, USCAR sponsors active development of electric vehicle energy storage devices, and each OEM has aggressive electric vehicle development programs. There are many common needs between straight electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles. Both require maximum weight reduction, high efficiency electric motors, inverters, low energy accessories, low rolling resistance tires, etc.
Primarily as a result of limitations in existing and projected energy storage devices, straight electrics in the PNGV timeframe are unlikely to meet PNGV's objectives of affordability and functional equivalence. Functional limitations include range, speed of "re-fueling", and package space and there are infrastructure concerns. Affordability issues include the initial cost and replacement cost of high-energy storage devices.. The cost of electric drivetrains and associated power electronics must also come down, as they must for hybrid electrics.
Electric vehicles have a relatively low probability of meeting the PNGV "Goal 3" requirements within the next decade. In the long-term we anticipate that possible significant improvements in the cost and efficiency of storage devices, electric drives and high power electronics could be achieved. Thus, the possibility of significant "breakthrough" improvements which would make straight electric vehicles viable, cannot be totally ruled out.

Creating Specialized Human Trafficking Court Divisions Wins Easy Approval
A proposal to let courts create specialized divisions to handle human trafficking cases received the unanimous backing Thursday of the House Judiciary Committee.
Rep. Julie Stokes, R-Kenner, said her bill (HB 569) would allow judges to better steer victims to support services, rather than jail for drug crimes or prostitution that are tied to trafficking.
"What you find in human trafficking victims is that often the only point that we have the chance to reach out to them is in a court setting," she said.
The creation of a special division or section of a court to handle human trafficking cases would allow for a judge to get specialized training about available support services.
If a special human trafficking division exists in a judicial district, all prostitution-related cases would be steered to that division.
The measure, which moves next to the full House for consideration, is backed by Gov. Bobby Jindal, along with a second proposal (HB 1025) by Rep. Neil Abramson, D-New Orleans, that would create harsher punishments for human trafficking and related crimes.
Col. Mike Edmonson, superintendent of the Louisiana State Police, said human trafficking is a significant problem in Baton Rouge and New Orleans. He supported Stokes' bill.

How is everyone doing with the new year's resolution? Is it somewhat difficult to keep all your goals in view? Have you slipped off the bandwagon and thought to yourself, what's the point?
Stop and think to yourself...it is too soon to give up. Keep telling yourself that... every day, every hour, every minute, each and every little slip up...it is too soon to give up. Call your confidant for a powwow, or better yet, make it a moving meeting: bike, walk, skate, etc., doing what makes you smile and open up, to help break through the stalemate.
You could also have a healthy cooking session. Isn't the meal preparation half the fun when you have help and great conversation? Continue the meeting while consuming the delectable nutrition, all guilt free. I bet you will learn new ideas and tips from each other, too.
Happy new year to you all; let's make it another memorable year of sticking to our own amazingly enjoyable healthy lifestyle.
Here we are at the Christmas time of year with many holidays to celebrate and prepare for with loved ones. The stress level can quickly become overwhelming for many reasons, personal and physical. Please remember that doing only a few minutes of an exercise/healthy lifestyle program will help get you the needed energy and motivation to accomplish the list of chores...with a smile. Give everyone you meet a smile and it just may be the catalyst they need to continue and put things in perspective. All you have to do is get started for five minutes of your favorite activity and do your stretches. If you are recovering from an injury, make sure to follow doctor's orders so this too shall pass. Give yourself a break to truly enjoy your life; isn't that why we exercise in the first place?
Are you finding it harder and harder to stick to the rules of your healthy lifestyle program? No problem, we can fix that.
All you have to do is ask yourself one question: Can I do that for the rest of my life? If the answer is yes, then go for it. If the answer is not in a million years, then let it go. If the answer is maybe, put it on the to do list for later.
When you find yourself slipping, it is time to regroup and make one change that you can stick to for the rest of your life. Look at the positive gains you have made, maybe keeping track of them in a gratification journal.
Do not dwell on the negative isses of falling off the bandwagon; rather, this is the time to grasp the opportunity of learning something. What happened and why, what can be done about it, should I continue or let this go?
The take away is: don't worry about the future, plan for it; don't dwell in the past, learn from it; and always enjoy the present, a gift from you know Who.
No, this is the year for a revolution; no resolution to lose, drop, improve the weight.
I am staying on the track of a healthy lifestyle and the rest follows...yes, if need be, the weight; not to mention, everything else that may need changing and/or improving. You name it, the healthy choices will make the undesirable issues easier to handle, if not disappear.
If general knowledge were the answer to the obesity epidemic, why are we not seeing any positive results? What is wrong? What really needs to change?
How about finding the right person to work with? Be it a personal trainer, doctor, nutritionist or other professional who will help you get the results you desire. Now, what are your goals?
I hope you have the type of goals that are reaching for health, not only looks. Ditch the mirror and be happy with your Maker's beautiful artwork that is truly one of a kind.
Okay, no problem...off to find that one of a kind solution for each and every, one of a kind client.
So...how have you all been doing with your health and fitness programs? Believe it or not, I still have times that require me to slow down and read my own blogs, as well as other sources. I am a person, too, who deals with life getting in the way of "plans".
My motivation mostly comes from all the wonderfully diverse clients and their families who have kindly entered my life...truly, something I am and always will be grateful for...appreciative and beautiful people who lift me up with their accomplishments.
I thank each and every one of you who have worked with and helped NAPS 2 B Fit...Customized Health + Fitness Programs, to continue the mission of restoring a healthy society. Please be sure you all remember to take care of yourselves, that you may enjoy and take care of your loved ones.
Wishing everyone the best of health.

Got a story you want to share? Contact us now firstname.lastname@example.com
James Alpe is Ribble Valley born and bred. His family run a farm and James began by repairing agricultural machinery for neighbours and friends. Soon, demand was such that this became repairing tractors and cars and, before long, as James put it: 'We found we had more cars than cows.'
In 1978, James decided to set up a vehicle repair business which grew steadily. In 1992, he bought a piece of land and built a massive facility to house the James Alpe group of businesses. The site is almost two acres in size with 65,000 sq ft of workshop space and 70 employees. Two years ago James added a new state-of-the-art office block, reception and showroom facility to reflect its prestige approvals.
For any James Bond fans out there, if former Rover apprentice James Alpe hadn't moved from farming to body repair, he could have had a lucrative career as Q – Bond's gadget man. The knowledge and enthusiasm that James and his team have for finding engineered solutions to complex problems is incredible. Not least the unique security fence and gate system that surrounds the site. The fully-automated system (which was designed, fabricated and installed by the company) has a gate and fence that are invisible during the day, preserving the neat and welcoming external appearance of the building. Out of hours, the high security gate and fence kicks into action to secure the site. This unique feature was used to attract some of the police contracts who have commented on the robust security offered.
The reception and showroom area is like a toy shop. From the outside, the Contravision building stickers – two way decals which externally promote the services offered but internally appear as normal glass – welcome visitors to look around the displays of parking sensors and hog roast machines (more on those later).
You often hear the term 'one-stop shop' but at James Alpe there's no better way to describe the services on offer. James Alpe does the lot, everything from accident repair to vehicle conversions, sign design and print to car and van hire and MOTs.
Even the term accident repair does little to describe the scope of work undertaken here. As James Alpe explained, 'We have the capability to repair any vehicle, everything from LCVs, motorhomes, Unimogs, ambulances, underwater search and rescue vehicles, police horseboxes and tractors to, of course, cars.'
Lee Boyle is the Bodyshop Manager and welcomes the challenges of running a large repair operation. Over the past 12 months, lead time has been cut and downtime has reduced after a concerted effort to improve efficiencies throughout the business. Lee said that upgrading to a new EMACS management system helped boost efficiencies in the workshop. 'It has given us tighter control of the volume going into the shop with better MI being produced,' he said.
With vehicle manufacturer approvals from Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Peugeot, Fiat, Fiat CV, Alfa Romeo and Mitsubishi, plus several major insurance approvals and fleet contracts, Lee manages a busy accident repair team.
It's clear to see the investment that's gone into the workshop: not least £8,000 on lighting and new large capacity spraybooths which were being fitted during my visit.
The in-house capabilities are an impressive combination of traditional, panel fabrication and repair craftsmanship and advanced electrical engineering techniques, making James Alpe one of the leading vehicle conversion businesses in the UK. Everything from small conversions to its body building projects are carried out in steel fabrication and woodwork shops. The multi-skilled staff can move them from one department to another based on business needs. This requires continuous investment in training, something which the company has been recognised for.
Earlier this year, the business won two awards from Training 2000: Best Supporting Company, in recognition of its commitment to apprentices and training, and employee Chris Astley – a finalist in last year's bodyshop/Thatcham Craft Awards – was named as the Advanced Apprentice of the Year. James Alpe also reached this year's finals in the Motor Trader Awards and is a finalist for the second year running in the bodyshop Large Bodyshop of the Year Award.
It was fascinating to watch the team as they worked on a new design for air-conditioned police dog training vehicles. Also being assembled were custom-built prison cells, which are powder coated and then fitted into police vans.
The company receives a large amount of work from various public sector businesses such as police and ambulance services. 'Because we design and manufacture these types of vehicle conversions, we understand exactly how best to repair the fleets,' said James.
Working with public sector clients means meeting precise requirements such as repair quality and standards, and achieving the Kitemark enabled James Alpe to demonstrate this. Maintaining good relationships with fleet managers is also essential. This responsibility lies with Business Development Manager, Alison Goossens, who has been at the company for three years.
'After many years of carrying out repairs for Lancashire Constabulary and North West Ambulance, we decided to brave the public sector tendering world,' said Alison. 'We were delighted to win our first contract, building police cell vans for North Yorkshire Police, and have since been awarded a number of other prestigious contracts.'
Just about every upselling opportunity is sold; services include parking sensors (with a working parking sensor demo that beeps as soon as you walk into reception), air-conditioning, full valets, tyres, MOTs and servicing, Smart and cosmetic repairs and wheel alignment.
'This year we made a concentrated effort of upselling additional services on the website, via dedicated marketing material and training of estimators to capture business at an early stage,' said Alison. 'We've also focused on prestige repairs by targeting specific work providers and promoting flood damaged engine repairs: most main dealers would advocate engine replacement, but repairing the engines saves the insurer/customer huge costs.'
The customer experience at James Alpe is certainly second to none. Customers are able to drop off cars from 6am and collect a courtesy car. The truly unique 72-strong courtesy car fleet includes short and long wheelbase vans, and 4x4s. 'For many of our customers, their vehicles are working vehicles and any downtime means loss of income,' said Lee Boyle.
Not content with repairing just about every vehicle under the sun, James is also involved in the manufacture of hog roast machines. These are designed and fabricated in-house and sold through an independent company. There are two units on display in the showroom and James casually mentioned how they'd recently produced a custom-built hog roast machine for Jamie Oliver's Italian restaurant in London.
'It's just another use of metal,' said James, 'and it makes use of the fantastic range of engineering skills that we have within the business.'
Guess what? There was so much to see I completely forgot to ask about the famous James Alpe self-service dog wash facility. However, it's a great excuse to go back in the near future.

The Los Angeles-based women's label, which relaunched under new ownership last year after more than 30 years, went into its archives to select the most opulent textures and strongest colors for its latest pumps, evening shoes and sandals. Navy blue, olive green, chocolate and gold are among the hues, and materials include leather, ostrich and silk, with sumptuous feather prints, ink drops and brocades also featured throughout the collection. Metallic patent, glitter and Lucite also harken back to Palter DeLiso's glam 1920s and '30s roots. Retailing for $695 to $1,995, the revamped label made its modern debut with a trunk show at Modaoperandi.com in fall '13 and is now available via the Palter DeLiso e-commerce site. The shoes are set to make their brick-and-mortar debut in spring '14, starting with Fred Segal and Gregory's boutiques.

Updating this post about the bearish weekly chart rising wedge in Goldman, it has yet to trigger a breakdown for a major short signal.
However, it has now arrived back at the support trendline, with bulls needing to arrive soon.
On the long side, if the regional banks can move back above Friday's highs I am looking at the likes of HCBK for an entry.

To give you an idea of how we operate here at TRI, we took a position with 1% risk in GDX as a mean-reversion opportunity the day after the highest volume day in its history (April 3rd). When an asset capitulates as much as that, it presents an opportunity for an entry in the other direction. However, no trade is infallible and this morning price moved below our exit point. I sent out a note to subscribers to take your medicine and come back another day when the price action provides us with an entry.
This is the bottom of a very nasty 4-year decline in commodities, and managing risk is the most important thing. There is huge upside, but also severe downside if you don't have a plan. Taking a 1% loss, as disappointing as it is, far outweighs riding something down 4-5-6% or more below multiyear support. The way the math works, if you avoid a 10% loss, when price returns to the same level as before the percentage gain is greater than 10%, it just takes patience and discipline in your trading to earn that reward.
I feel for everyone heavily invested in precious metals today, but this is not the end, it is just another lesson in understanding the markets and managing risk. Here at TRI, I preach risk management because looking down is so much more important than looking up. It is admittedly boring, but absolutely necessary to survive in this game for the long run.
I wish you all the best and I will continue to be here daily to provide the best commentary that I can.
Good trading all.
Steve Chapman, TRI

NEW YORK — A group of top female executives gathered here last week to discuss ways in which the digital revolution has changed the way they run their businesses, from hiring practices to dealing with clients to spotting global trends.
The executives, all clients of Berns Communications, were participants in The Women's Leadership Roundtable, an ongoing series of discussions among leading executive women who are driving the business of retail. They were Laura Pomerantz, principal and founder of PBS Real Estate; Celeste Gudas, president and founder of 24/Seven, the executive recruiting firm; Wendy Liebmann, chief executive officer of WSL Strategic Retail, and Catherine Moellering, executive vice president of the Tobe Report.
"The digital space is one where most retailers are scrambling to find the right talent now," said Gudas. "For years, maybe not at the merchant level, we had a good pool of solid talent, and that's really shifted. We're looking outside of retail, and we're looking at other industries to pull people in," she said.
The recruiting firm is looking at every channel and every school to uncover talent for its clients. She pointed out that it's common to bring in younger people when it comes to digital. "That's because of flexibility. Schools are catching up and bringing talent to the market that's relevant. If you're looking for an app designer, you're more likely to find that coming out of school," she said. "It's a very dynamic, shifting marketplace. I think that talent is key, but you can see the divide in the skills gap that's happening."
Gudas believes that comfort with digital media needs to start at the top. "I think it starts with us as leaders in an organization. I find it frustrating when people say, 'Oh, I don't know technology. I leave it to my kid.' It's up to us. It's like nails on a blackboard for me now...if we're not using it and curating the information and pushing that effort in trend spotting for the organization..."
Tobe's Moellering said the digital movement is having an enormous impact on the company's trend spotting. "I suspected runway coverage would be most impacted. The expectation around runway coverage in a digital era is that it's free. It really has forced us to look internally at what we're offering to our clients and to decide what is of value."
Moellering finds there's so much available because of blogs and sources such as Style.com that are free. "What's interesting to me was to hear how many top senior executives saying, 'I get all of my runway coverage on Twitter.'"
Moellering said she'll always argue that there's tremendous value in Tobe and in its editorial and point of view about the runway. "But the timeliness about it starts to shift, and where along that timeline do we provide a viewpoint that's of value?" One area that Tobe is not willing to abandon is the physical printed piece. "It's not been something I've been willing to do...yet. Perhaps at a later date. I'm not there yet. Some of it is in respect to our clients. We deal with very senior decision makers, many of whom tell me they like to have a physical report. I hear over and over again, 'I put it in my bag and read it on the plane.'"

Working their way up
Dorothy and Bud Simmers' showcase home at SML is their second, but this time, the furnishings are not secondhand.
SHERESE GORE | Laker Weekly
Dorothy Simmers stands before her Carrs Point home.
Visitors to Dorothy and Bud Simmers' Carrs Point home in Moneta will be drawn to the decorative accent pieces sprinkled throughout.
The house, part of the Smith Mountain Lake Charity Home Tour, sparkles with sweeping views of Smith Mountain Lake, travertine stone and granite countertops.
The home's five bedrooms each have their own stylistic themes such as the monkey, elephant and poppy rooms. Sizable mirrors, vases and art are a few items that add to
the decor.
Simmers, a diminutive woman in size, had a hand in bringing the pieces into the home. She and her husband, Bud, are owners of an office furniture company based out of Harrisonburg. Self-employed since the 1970s, she said she knows how to arrange 200-pound mirrors inside a vehicle, shroud them in bubble wrap and transport them hundreds of miles away.
"It worked; I had a lot of fun," she said.
The house itself is the reward for the many years of hard work.
In the 1960s, Simmers was employed in a Bridgewater sewing factory when her husband approached her about purchasing a business.
At the time, he was selling office equipment whose employer wanted out of the venture. Bud jumped on the opportunity to "go into business for himself," she said.
Two decades of unrelenting work followed. From the 1960s into the '70s, Simmers worked multiple jobs simultaneously to stay ahead - a full-time job coupled with a part-time job while helping Bud with the business.
"You knew what you had to do," she said.
In 1977, the couple came to Smith Mountain Lake at the invitation of friends who owned a mobile home on Carrs Point. Two years later, the Simmers purchased the lot next door, as well as construction materials for a two-story A-frame house.
"We hammered and nailed. Everything we could do," said Simmers. "We didn't have enough money at the time, and we didn't want to pay anyone else to do it," she said.
Interior design was somewhat limited; most of the furnishings were secondhand. A bedroom suite, a couple of chairs and the kitchen cabinets came from yard sales, Simmers said.
"There was absolutely nothing new."
That is a stark contrast to her current home.
By the mid-2000s, the Simmers decided the little house had outlived its practicality, and it was torn down in 2007.
"With all the kids and grandchildren, we outgrew it," said Simmers. "We were sitting in each other's laps."
Work on the new house, located on the same lot as the A-frame, was completed in 2009. There are no secondhand items in this home, Simmers reassured.
"You're always happy to go forward," said Simmers.

Parental altruism and nest leaving in Europe: evidence from a retrospective survey

We use retrospective life-history data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe to assess parental altruism through the effect of parental resources and home characteristics on the age at which individuals now aged 50 or more left the nest in 13 countries. We show that the nest leaving age has declined from one cohort to the next and that the tendency has been of a relative decline in leaving one's parents to start a family and an increase in leaving home to pursue higher education, even if the first pattern was still the most common for the baby-boomers. We test an altruistic model where constrained parents push the child out, where less constrained "proximity altruistic" parents can help the child by providing a home or even, for the richest "active altruists", help the child leave the nest. Taking into account the endogenous child's choices of education, we find that most parents helped by being proximity altruists, while some helped their children move out and that the quality of the home had an important influence on the nest leaving age.

The Dodd-Frank statement has had some effect on binary options buying and selling for US residents. 1 of the principal bottlenecks of the legislation has been the narrowing of trade oil eligible brokers for certain futures and commodities transactions. While the hurdles to make alternative contracts available to traders are not insurmountable some brokerages is not going to be equipped to trade oil give their full suite of items to investors until polices are finalized.
Commodities Binary Alternatives Buying and selling Not Broadly Available to US Residents
The runup of commodities costs has trade gold in several cases been stoked by the popularity of small-time period trades. This mostly unregulated industry has in some cases been muzzled by Dodd-Frank laws constraints on trade rush how trades can be fulfilled. Regulations nevertheless need to be passed in purchase to explain / define what kinds of transactions produced be made by what sorts forex signals of marketplace individuals. Though a several present market place arrangements have enabled some current firms to continue on to offer commodity contracts, some others have had to halt their commodity prices offerings to US residents, in some cases hurting US investors.
Forex Alternative Contracts in Some Cases Limited
Equivalent limits in trade buy movement have fallen on cedar finance currency alternative contracts as well, much for the very same good reasons. Sellers who have been not working with a particular technique of transaction routing have been closed off from buy stocks the very well-known currency binary options investing current market. Mercifully some traders have been able to change their accounts to both transfer to unique brokers or transform the forex signals belongings traded to use a lot more vanilla stock and index binary options investing as an alternative. Impacted brokerages have indicated no drop in over-all trade volume on their platforms cedar finance on the other hand it stands to purpose the more time belongings stay unavailable the much more consumers will in the end defect for a lot less-restricted companies.

Miami Hotels Trick Guests with Deceitful Promo Photos
Categories: Unreal Estate
This promo photo is deceitful above all things |
Too bad the thing is actually about the size of a glorified bath tub.

The Essex House apparently lives in a land free of traffic lights. The Four Season did some redecorating, but they only used Photoshop. The Ritz-Carlton in Coconut Grove seems to have deforested their rooms.
Maybe the next time a friend comes in to town and books a hotel while raving about how it looks in the photos you should check that those snapshots actually represent reality. Because the last thing you want is them being so upset by being tricked that they end up staying at your place.

The gameplay footage is awkwardly played twice and -- trust us -- does the actual game no justice in terms of graphical fidelity. However, it does give a glimpse of the scene in which Agent 47 has to escape a library full of cops. The scene where he smashes the cop over the head with the statue is the more "stealth" approach, while in another scene you can see 47 taking a hostage to walk out of the place.
Update: The gameplay footage appears to originate from a Danish news program that aired during E3. Thanks, Patrick.
