Reasons for Contacting Transgroup Logistics - The department receives notification of arrival of shipment and customs broker is not identified on paperwork, shipment needs special attention, shelf life of product is short, shipment under quarantine, special delivery requirements, or if new information is required (duty status, transportation, etc.).
A shipment needs special attention. Transgroup Logistics can expedite
with advance notice from the University.
A shipment needs to be located. Transgroup Logistics will need the Master
Airway Bill Number (MAWB) and House Air Bill Number (HAWB) for an air
shipment. For an ocean shipment they will need the Master Ocean Bill Number
(MOBL), the House Bill Number (HOBL), and the name of the Freight Forwarder
(Customs Broker).
New information is received regarding the importability or duty status
on commodities being imported.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS - The following documents or procedures
must be used or followed when:
Federal funds are used: Transportation across the ocean must be via a
United States Flag carrier.
Duty free status is requested: If a commodity or its equivalent is not
manufactured in the United States, a duty-free status may be applied for
from the United States Commerce Department provided by the vendor (See
4.2). The application form should be obtained prior to processing the
order, if possible. Transgroup Logistics must be notified that
a duty-free status application is in process; a copy of the front page
and docket number will be required. The U.S. Commerce Department will
assign a docket number that will hold the transaction open until a decision
is reached on the application. This will not hold up delivery of
the shipment but merely delays duty payment until the decision is reached.
If the department fails to notify Transgroup Logistics of its duty-free
application, Transgroup Logistics will pay the duty fees automatically
and close the transaction. This voids the application.
Port of entry - Chicago: Generally, shipments will clear customs in the
ports routed to as defined on the Bill of Lading. If Transgroup Logistics
determines that Milwaukee is preferred port of entry, they will notify
Purchasing Services or the department. When UI pays the freight (FOB Shipping
Point), it is best to compare costs and transit times before deciding
how to route a shipment. Transgroup Logistics will assist in this area.
Items returned for repair: Transgroup Logistics must be contacted for
assistance to avoid duty costs on equipment. A repair declaration will
be required from the vendor.
Temporary Import Bond (TIB) is needed: A TIB is used for importing a commodity
on a temporary/trial basis (e.g., software for review) and only when the
customs fee exceeds $100. Notifying Transgroup Logistics immediately will
guarantee customs fees are only paid once. TIBs are effective for up to
one year, are good for one destination only, have a processing fee, and
may be renewed for 3 years on a yearly basis. When the commodity is returned,
Transgroup Logistics must be notified to avoid additional duty costs and
to be provided with the Freight Forwarder (Custom Brokers) name so Transgroup
Logistics can provide proof of delivery. TIBs are not used on
equipment used for production for a year and then shipped back.
Carnet is needed: Designed to simplify customs procedures for shipping
exhibits, trade show items, etc. A carnet eliminates extensive customs
procedures and long delays at customs. Goods covered under a carnet cannot be
sold abroad but can be moved through customs without paying tariffs and
excise taxes or purchasing a bond. (This is not a substitute for an export
license.) Transgroup Logistics will facilitate the carnet application

St. Patrick's Day Cupcakes
The kids and I made these St. Patrick's Day cupcakes this year – and they turned out so cute I had to share! The best part about these shamrock & rainbow St. patrick's Day cupcakes was how easy they were to put together – I was able to let the kids totally take over this decorating job.
I started with a regular cake mix and frosted with light green buttercream frosting. You can also use canned vanilla frosting and add a few drops of green food coloring.
For the rainbows, all you'll need is a pack of Airheads Xtreme Sour Belts candy and some mini marshmallows. Cut each belt into 3 pieces and push the ends into the frosting. Place a mini-marshmallow at each end.
For the four-leaf clovers/shamrocks, we used our leftover green Christmas M&M's (we already used the red ones on Valentine's Day!) For the clover stem, I used scissors to cute the green stripe from the Airheads Xtreme belt, and then snipped it into smaller lengths.
While we loved making (and eating!) these St. Patrick's Day cupcakes – the kids still want to make our traditional St. Patrick's Day Cake when they get home from school today

And if Aoki is the new face of EDM, he's also part of a new wave of business-savvy artists (Avicii, Afrojack, Morgan Page) who keep a tight rein on marketing and imagery.
In 2011 Aoki became an equity partner in Cinespace, Dim Mak's longtime Tuesday-night home. The club was rechristened Dim Mak Studios and given a new, backstreet address.
Aoki has been unusually wise about his career, creating his own management firm, Deckstar, which now represents Travis Barker, Holy Ghost!, Infected Mushroom and more. The DJ gets eyes on all his products, from album covers to T-shirts to fliers to headphones. (He's also endorsed a tequila.) He's a pop art aficionado, Warhol with turntables, a true believer in the idea that art and marketing are inseparable. Dim Mak even sells T-shirts proclaiming, "I Got Caked by Steve Aoki."
Early on, paralleling a move by New York's Misshapes parties, Aoki saw the genius in publishing his friend Hunter's photos of the previous night's Dim Mak shenanigans. Today he's upped the ante by touring the world with a videographer.
"I reclaimed my YouTube Steve Aoki site from a kid who squatted on it," he says. He now publishes as many as four videos a week online, noting that there are no gatekeepers to stardom there, unlike television, radio and print.
"There's no major institutional power that put me in the place I am now," he says. "That's where I feel the most proud about my success so far. Literally I've gotten there by being crowd-surfed by my fans from point A to point B."
EDM is learning from Aoki, the showman, even as Aoki is learning to appreciate EDM's marathon men of yore.
"I look at my show like a long play and each song is a skit in this play," he says. "There's a narrative structure. There's rhyme and reason for every song — why it's mixed before the next and the next mixed after that. I always have to continue to evolve and change it.
"I once said I didn't know Doc Martin or Tiësto or Carl Cox or Danny Tenaglia. I know them now. Through the process of DJing, you start learning about DJ culture."
After Aoki does Miami this weekend, his next big show will be Electric Daisy Carnival in June. He's champing at the bit.
Last year, he'd planned to perform with Blue Man Group. But that night, northern winds started howling. The event's 10-story showcase, the largest festival stage in North America, started to sway scarily. The white stadium lighting at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway flashed on, shocking ravers used to only lasers, "robo scan" lights and glow sticks. An organizer came over the sound system to tell everyone to move to higher ground — the grandstands.
The previous summer, an approaching thunderstorm had blown down a stage structure at the Indiana State Fair, killing seven — and so EDC organizers pulled the plug on performances at 12:45 a.m. Winds were howling at about 40 miles per hour, and the stages were built to withstand gusts up to 80. But there was "an abundance of caution and with fan safety in mind," according to the promoters' official statement. Though there was the possibility of a return to the music as the winds subsided, organizers soon announced the night was over.
Aoki was devastated.
The show had been planned for "months and months," he says. The Blue Man performers were to be wrapped in LED lights, performing on their drums and tubes to specially produced remixes of Aoki songs as the DJ was hoisted above the fray on a cable.
"I wouldn't even leave, I was so upset," Aoki recalls. "When Blue Man Group was, like, 'We're all leaving,' the realization still didn't hit."
But that just raises the stakes for this year.
"Hopefully," he says, "there's no wind this time."

Description This invention relates generally to medical electrical stimulators, more particularly to muscle stimulators for functional electrical stimulation, and most particularly to implantable electrical stimulators for stimulation of muscle employed as a myocardial substitute. U.S. Pat. No. 4,735,205 issued to Chachques et al discloses method and apparatus for employing the latissimus dorsi muscle to assist cardiac function. This patent is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. In the method disclosed in this patent, the latissimus dorsi muscle is surgically resected, divided into two parts to cover the surface of the heart, and inserted into the thoracic cavity by means of a resection of the second rib. After or before positioning the muscle, stimulating electrodes are threaded into the muscle at desired locations to affect contraction of the muscle. Stimulating pulses are provided by an implanted pulse generator, preferably implanted subcutaneously in the abdomen. A pulse generator appropriate for such use is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,411,268 issued to Cox. Timing of contractions of the latissimus dorsi muscle is controlled by the stimulator, which senses natural contractions of the heart, and stimulates the latissimus dorsi muscle to contract in synchrony therewith. Sensing of heart activity, and stimulation of heart contractions in the absence of underlying heart activity is accomplished by means of an additional electrical lead, coupling the heart to the pulse generator. The pulse generator disclosed in the above cited patent, like most implantable pulse generators, has a generally flattened external configuration with two major, generally planar surfaces and a circumferential edge surface. Mounted to the circumferential edge surface is a connector block which includes receptacles for each of the three illustrated stimulation leads. This pulse generator is implanted with its major surfaces generally parallel to the skin. When implanting a pulse generator in the abdominal region, a relatively limited area is available for implant of the device. As such, the length and width of the pulse generator (length and width of the major surfaces of the pulse generator) are more critical than the thickness of the pulse generator. As additional leads are added to the system illustrated in the Chachques et al patent, either to accomplish sequential stimulation of different muscle portions or to accomplish dual chamber pacing and sensing of the heart, the volume of the connector block increases proportionately. For practical reasons, implantable pulse generators have now evolved to the point where they almost all uniformally take the form of a hermetically sealed metal enclosure, with a molded connector module attached thereto. Connection between the circuitry and battery within the hermetic enclosure and the connector module is typically accomplished by means of feedthroughs. The inventors of the present application have determined that by relocation of the molded connector module assembly to the major surface of the hermetic enclosure, from the edge surface, a pulse generator is produced that is more readily implanted in the abdominal region, and which can easily accommodate a multiplicity of stimulation and sensing leads. In addition, the inventors have determined that the configuration of the stimulator disclosed herein provides advantages in construction of the stimulator and in connecting the circuitry therein to the electrical connectors within the connector module. These advantages are also of benefit in pulse generators intended for pectoral implant. Feedthroughs are located in two spaced rows along one major surface of the hermetic enclosure, with the circuitry located between the rows of feedthroughs. This is particularly desirable where double sided hybrid circuitry is located, in that it allows for simple interconnection of either side of the hybrid to the feedthrough pins, without the necessity of bending and routing elongated feedthrough pins, as would be required if the connector module were located along an edge surface of the hermetic enclosure. Provision of the feedthrough pins perpendicular to the plane of the hybrid circuitry and arrayed along two edges of the hybrid circuitry simplifies the interconnection of the hybrid circuitry to the electrical connectors within the connector module and provides increased flexibility in hybrid circuit layouts. FIG. 1 is a side, plan view of a pulse generator according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a top, plan view of a pulse generator according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is a side, cutaway view through the pulse generator illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 4 is a drawing of the thoracic region of the human body, illustrating locations for implant of a pulse generator according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a side, plan view of a pulse generator according to the present invention. The structure of the pulse generator illustrated can be divided into two major assemblies. Contained within the metal hermetic enclosure 10 is the battery and circuitry of the pulse generator. The enclosure 10, seen in this view from the side or edge, displays a generally flattened configuration with two large, generally planar major surfaces 14 and 16 and a circumferential edge surface 18. In order to provide a more biocompatible configuration, the corners connecting the side and edge surfaces are generally rounded. The second major assembly is the connector module 12, which is molded from a transparent plastic, typically epoxy. Visible through the transparent epoxy is the structure associated with the outer most connector receptacle. The connector receptacle takes the form of a stepped cylindrical bore 20, which may correspond to the IS-1 or VS-1 in-line connector configuration, generally described in the article "The Impact of Pending Technologies on a Universal Connector Standard", by Doring et al, published in PACE, Vol. 9, pp. 1186-1190, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. This basic connector configuration is now widely in use throughout the cardiac pacemaker industry and is well known to those of skill in the art. Visible through the transparent epoxy are two connectors 22 and 24. These connectors are coupled to the circuitry within hermetic enclosure 10 by means of feedthrough wires 26 and 28, which pass through feedthroughs into the interior of hermetic enclosure 10. Connector 24 employs a crown contact, which is a louvered, cylindrical receptacle with curved, inwardly directed flat strips, illustrated in more detail in FIG. 3. Connector block 22 employs a set screw to make contact with a cylindrical pin on the proximal end of the pacing or muscle stimulation lead. Access to the set screw is obtained by means of a pierceable grommet 30, of the type generally disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,908,668, issued to Bolduc. Connection of the feedthrough wires 26 and 28 to connector blocks 22 and 24 is made by means of a weld or other method of mechanical connection. FIG. 2 is a top, plan view of the pulse generator illustrated in FIG. 1. In FIG. 2, it is apparent that the connector module is provided with four stepped cylindrical receptacles 20, 32, 34 and 36, each of which has associated therewith a crown contact connector 24, 38, 42, 44 for engaging the connector ring on the proximal end of a pacing or muscle stimulation electrode and a set screw connector block for engaging the connector pin of the corresponding leads. In this view, the connector blocks corresponding to connector block 22 in FIG. 1 are not readily visible as they are obscured by sealing grommets 30, 44, 46 and 48. The configuration of the receptacles 20, 32, 34, 36 may be identical. Alternatively, the receptacles may be differently dimensioned to prevent inadvertent insertion, for example, of a cardiac pacing lead into a receptacle intended for use with a muscle stimulating lead or vice versa. In this view, it can be seen that each of the feedthrough wires 28, 50, 52, 54, 26, 56, 58, 60 passes through a feedthrough into hermetic enclosure 10, allowing for contact with the circuitry located therein. Feedthroughs 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72, 74 and 76 are arranged generally along two parallel lines. As illustrated in FIG. 3 below, these two parallel lines are located on either side of the hybrid circuitry located within enclosure 10. FIG. 3 is a side, cutaway view through the pulse generator illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, through receptacle 34. In this view, set screw 80 is visible within connector block 78. Access to set screw 80 is obtained by piercing sealing grommet 46 with a screwdriver or hex wrench, as appropriate. Connector 82 is similarly visible within connector block 40. Within hermetic enclosure 10, the hybrid circuitry 84 and the battery 86 are mounted. These are typically mounted by means of plastic spacers or retainers, which have been omitted in this view for the sake of clarity. Appropriate forms of such retainers or spacers are illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 4,314,562, issued to Ware, incorporated herein by reference. However, fabrication of appropriately sized and dimensioned plastic retainers will vary depending on the particular configuration of the hybrid circuitry and battery employed. In light of the teaching of the above cited patent, this is now believed to be a matter of routine engineering, readily accomplished by one of skill in the art. For purposes of the present invention, it is the interrelation of hybrid circuitry 84 and the feedthrough pins 52 and 58 which is of primary importance. As illustrated, connection between the hybrid 84 and the connector pins 58 and 52 may be accomplished by either the upper or the lower side of the hybrid. Having feedthroughs extending along two opposed edges of the hybrid, allows for a substantial increase in flexibility with regard to layout of the printed circuit paths and connectors pads on the hybrid. In contrast to prior art hybrids, which would have only one edge located adjacent the feedthroughs, the present invention provides the ability to locate connector pads along two opposing edges. In addition, placing the connector pins perpendicular to the plane of the hybrid 84 allows for easy access to either the upper or lower side of the hybrid 84. Placing the feedthrough wires perpendicular to the surface of the hybrid, arrayed along two opposing edges of the hybrid also minimizes the length of the jumper wires required to connect the hybrid to the connector pins, and eliminates any necessity to bend the feedthrough pins or otherwise route them within the hermetic enclosure 10. This is believed to substantially simplify the manufacture of the pulse generator. FIG. 4 illustrates a view of the human thorax, illustrated in the areas of implant of the pulse generator. The pulse generator is preferably implanted within abdominal area 100, with the major surfaces 16 and 14 of the hermetic enclosure 10 generally parallel to the skin and to the underlying layers of muscle tissue. Because area 100 is relatively restricted, it is preferable that the outer dimensions of the pulse generator (length and width) do not exceed 7 cm by 5 cm. The pulse generator, in some cases, may be implanted in the pectoralis regions 102, 104. While the above illustrated embodiment employs a pulse generator which has four lead receptacles, the basic design illustrated is readily adaptable to five or more connector receptacles. Indeed, as the number of desired connector receptacles increases, the value of the basic design configuration also increases. The present invention allows for large numbers of receptacles and associated connectors and feedthroughs with a minimum of increased complexity with regard to the manufacture of the pulse generator. While the above embodiment is particularly adapted for abdominal implant, in conjunction with a stimulator adapted to stimulate the latissimus dorsi muscle, wrapped around the heart, the basic design configuration is also believed applicable to other forms of implantable pulse generators where large numbers of connector lumens and associated connector blocks and feedthroughs are required to perform complicated stimulation and/or sensing functions. Furthermore, while the disclosed embodiment employs jumper wires to connect the hybrid circuitry to the feedthroughs, it is anticipated that the invention might also be practiced using feedthrough wires passed through holes in the hybrid substrate and soldered or welded directly to the conductive paths on the hybrid. In such cases, the feedthrough pins might also interconnect the opposite sides of the hybrid. Of course, in this embodiment, the pins need not be limited to areas closely adjacent the edges of the hybrid. As an alternative to welding or soldering, connection between the feedthrough pins and the hybrid circuit may be accomplished mechanically by means of crown contact or other known types of electrical connectors. As such, the above embodiment should be considered exemplary, rather than limiting, with regard to the following claims. Patent Citations

It has been Mosley's way of dealing with things for quite a while. Come out with some ridiculous ideas, force them on the teams only to settle on some "compromise" that he planned from the very beginning. But I am not sure what he actually intends to achieve now with his "standard engine" idea.
I do understand the need to cut down the cost of running the F1 teams. The current state of global markets does show clearly what the excesses and living beyond means can result in. F1 lost several independent teams in the recent years. They either went bust or were taken over by manufacturers. Those takeovers look like a good thing and well may be. But the side effect is the amount of money being spent in F1 these days. The excesses that the remaining independents simply can't afford or do not want to match. So, here comes the need to stop the wasteful spending no matter if there is or is not any financial crisis.
The engines have been identified as the biggest chunk of the budget of an independent team, therefore it may seem logical to start with the savings here. And this is probably where the seeds of the "clever" idea to have Formula 1 with standard engine came about.
Well, as I said at the time when the "tender news" came out, it looks like Mosley has lost the plot. He may be helping the independent teams to get cheaper engines, but as feared and expected he is about to drive the manufacturers away from the sport. This would perhaps be fine in the times of old Formula One where the major part of the grid was formed by the independents (just look at 2000 season). These days however, when 6 out of 10 Formula 1 teams are run and owned by car companies (I consider also BMW Sauber and McLaren Mercedes as manufacturer teams although they are not yet fully owned by BMW or Daimler) it is very different situation. If the manufacturers decide to leave now it may well mean end of F1.
Both Mosley and Ecclestone are champions of the standard engine idea, both of them seem to think and believe that such a move by FIA would not start the manufacturers exodus from F1. Well it does look like this time they may be wrong. When some mixed messages started to come out from Toyota about standard engine being a reason to quit F1 it should have been the warning sign. Especially when this was pretty much confirmed by the team boss John Howett:
"If the FIA will introduce a standard engine that will be plenty of reason for Toyota to exit Formula One."
Well, but who cares about Toyota, right ? They have only been in and around Formual 1 for last few years, haven't won a race yet and are the prime example of big money not being well spent. So, threats from Toyota perhaps mean nothing for Mosley.
But the poker game full of bluffing has gotten serious now. The always on FIA side standing Ferrari made their view of things crystal clear:
"Whilst reiterating its wholehearted commitment to a substantial and needed reduction in costs in Formula 1, starting with propulsion, the Ferrari Board of Directors expressed strong concerns regarding plans to standardise engines as it felt that such a move would detract from the entire raison of a sport with which Ferrari has been involved continuously since 1950, a raison d'etre based principally on competition and technological development. The Board of Directors expressed the opinion that should these key elements be diminished, it would have to re-evaluate, with its partners the viability of continuing its presence in the sport."
FIA and Mosley should have been warned that the bluffing game is over the moment the teams created the FOTA and made a Ferrari man its boss. Mosley however clearly preferred to continue to play his game and announced the tender for standard engine supplier just ahead of the cost cutting meeting with FOTA. The teams knowing Mosley well after all those years decided not to risk getting divided and ruled by him again and sent only Montezemolo and Howett to the meeting with FIA. Not much has been made public after that meeting other than some "future is bright" talks from both sides and some leaks of what was agreed on (and what does not seem to make much sense). The only thing that was made clear was the agreement to talk further.
It does look however Mr. Mosley has forgotten FIA is to continue talking with FOTA after Brazilian GP. He pushes on with his "wise" standard engine tender idea, provoking even his usual allies to hostile actions.
What I do not understand is why is he picking on the engines ? He must be aware that the engines are something the car manufacturers simply will not give up …
Engines are expensive but they are about as expensive for manufacturer as for an independent (perhaps give or take million here and there). But there is another over USD300 million difference between the budgets of big and small F1 spenders. That difference is what should be tackled.
Having a standard engine on hand for the independent teams (if they are interested in it) is by itself a fine idea. The rules and specifications are clear, if someone can build the engine on par with current F1 engines for much less money why not. But why can't the car manufacturers continue to race with their own engines ?
Give Williams, Red Bull, Toro Rosso and Force India the option to buy that cheap standard engine or make a deal with a manufacturer. But if they really were interested in such an arrangement, why nobody is running the 2006 Cosworth V8 anymore ? Why Red Bull opted for Renault power, Williams for Toyota, Toro Rosso and Force India for Ferrari. Why Force India is working on switch from Ferrari to Mercedes and not to that Cosworth for example ?
The more I think about this the more I think Max Mosley is again simply raisng the stakes higher and higher hoping that under his pressure the teams will back down and agree on some significant cost saving measures. But at the same time I wonder if this time, the stakes were not raised dangerously way too high … We will see, won't we.

ASHLAND, Ore. — A long standing problem in one Southern Oregon community has claimed the life of an elderly man.
An Ashland man died Wednesday. He was hit by a car while crossing the street. The crash happened around 8:30 Wednesday morning at the intersection of north main street and water street.
Police said 90-year-old Anthony Kraft was walking on this cross walk when a car turning left hit him, knocking him to the ground. The driver, 43-year-old Justin Tombe, was driving less than 10 miles an hour when he hit Kraft.
Kraft immediately fell to the ground, hitting his head. Police said Tombe did not see the elderly man who was inside the crosswalk. Kraft was taken to a local hospital and died Wednesday afternoon.
One man we spoke to Wednesday said regardless of your age or the experience you have behind the wheel, pedestrians and motorists alike should take extra precautions to ensure their safety and the safety of others.
"That they look you in the eye, they acknowledge you and they realize you're there and they're not going to make a mistake. That's my main point of it that you want to make sure that somebody acknowledges you before before you walk in front of a car with an engine on," said Eric Hogan.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports, across the nation in 2007, more than 4,800 pedestrians were killed in traffic deaths and more than 118,000 were injured.
With high pedestrian traffic the city of Ashland has taken steps toward protecting those walking including new signs and lights near Siskiyou Boulevard, an area with a lot of cars and a lot of people.
Ashland Police officials said the investigation into this incident is ongoing and the case will be referred to the district attorney's office for review.

70s Music Chart January 3rd 1976
by admin ·
This was the week that a British naval frigate has been involved in another collision with an Icelandic gunboat in the Atlantic.
A British naval frigate has been involved in another collision with an Icelandic gunboat in the Atlantic.HMS Andromeda was dented when the gunboat, Thor, sailed close to the bow. Thor sustained a hole in its hull.
All this fun in the Cod war with Iceland, but it was also the first week of 1976, and this is the first part of the 70s music countdown of the BBC charts.
We now look at number 20 to number 11.
No. 20
Make A Daft Noise For Christmas by Goodies
Yet another Goodies record, and here is an article about the 70s music from the Goodies.
No. 19
All Around My Hat by Steeleye Span
A song from around 1820 now, all about a young man who went to see and missed his girlfriend,upon his return she was married to another woman. Steeleye Span had already charted in the 70s music with "Gaudette".
No. 18
Glass Of Champagne by Sailor
George Kajanus from Norway was the unlikely lead singer of the group. George had worked in 1971 for Cliff Richard, but now with his group Sailor, and this single is from the album of the same name. They would have one more big hit in the 70s music, and then will be remembered, but not be successful.
No. 17
Art For Arts Sake by 10cc
Article about 10cc
The boys had been working together for years before forming 10cc in 1972, Graham Gouldman amazingly he wrote the singles "For Your Love", and "No Milk Today". Eric Stewart along with the others had a 1970 hit called "Neanderthal Man", under the name of Hotlegs. Kevin Godley and Lol Cream of course were the other two band members.
This single was the follow up to "I'm Not In Love", and was written by Gouldman and Stewart and the title comes from Grahams fathers remarks one day.
No. 16
If I Could by David Essex
Article about David Essex
David starred this year in an awful film about a nuclear bus out of control called "The Big Bus", lucky for us his 70s music singles were in much better form. This was his eight hit single in the 1970s, and there would be four more top twenty hits to come from David Essex OBE.
No. 15
Money Honey by Bay City Rollers
See article about Bay City Rollers
No. 14
Christmas In Dreadland/Come Outside by Judge Dread
Article about Judge Dread
The naughty man of the charts, with more banned singles than anybody else in the 1970s. This Christmas hit from Judge was no exception. Alexander Minto Hughes died in 1998, but the Jamaican born musician had six top twenty entries during the 1970s, none of which were played by the BBC.
Elvis Presley had asked Judge Dread to help with a song, but Elvis died just before it was to happen.
No. 13
Wide Eyed And Legless by Andy Fairweather-Low
Andy was born in 1948 in Wales, and in the 1960s was in the group "Amens Corner", but the band split in 1970 and Andy joined Fair Weather which had one hit. Andy went solo and was rewarded with a single hit in 1974 called "Reggae Tune". Christmas 1975 and Andy had this hit, and apt timing as it was the time of year we were all "Wide Eyed And Legless".
No. 12
Can I Take You Home Little Girl by Drifters
This group had already been going strong since the 1950s, and of course there have been many people come and go, and many variations of the group too. But this 1976 version of the Drifters was a classic one. Johnny Moore was the lead singer here Ben E King, and at this time the group had moved to the UK, and were enjoying single hits and acclaim. Because of a legal dispute, Ben E King vocals were mimed too by other group members, and he was never really seen a part of the group by the public. Johnny Moore died in 1998.
No. 11
Show Me You're A Woman by Mud
Article about Mud
Glam rock British group Mud here from the Nickey Chinn and Mike Chapman stable, with another classic hit, but this one was not as uptempo as their last hit "L L LUCY". in fact it has a great instrumental piece on it.
Lyrics to "Show Me You're A Woman"

Avast: "People get their virus protection from warez sites"
Posted By Locutus On December 6, 2010 @ 11:04 PM In General Tech | 33 Comments
[1]Eighteen months after leaking, Avast's ship released a new number: 774,651. 774,651 is the number of users who are using avast! Pro with the one single license that got leaked almost two years ago.
What happened is a year and a half ago an avast! Pro license, sold to a small firm in the United States, got leaked online. Since then, users in over 200 countries have taken advantage of the leak. Even the Pope got in on the action: Two computers in Vatican City installed the illegal avast! Pro. (Avast has already replaced the license for the legitimate Arizona business that legitimately owned the leaked license.)
According to Avast's CEO, "There is a paradox in computer users looking for 'free' antivirus programs at locations with a known reputation for spreading malware."
Interestingly, Avast is not simply sinking the pirates – rather trying to use this as an opportunity to turn them. Avast recently started showing popup messages to the 3/4 million users; messages that ask the users to either use the free version of avast! or legitimately purchase the paid version. With this unorthodox marketing campaign, Avast has been able to flip some pirates into customers. New corporate strategy, anyone?
If you were one of the users hit by the devalidation, try one of the four most popular free antivirus options from dotTech's original antivirus showdown [2] article.

A Multiscale Method Coupling Network and Continuum Models in Porous Media II—Single- and Two-Phase Flows
- Jay Chu,

- … show all 4 hide
We present a numerical multiscale method for coupling mass conservation laws at the continuum scale with a discrete, pore scale network model for two-phase flow in porous media. Our previously developed single-phase flow algorithm is extended to two-phase flows, for the situations in which the saturation profile go through a sharp transition from fully saturated to almost unsaturated states. Our method evaluates the continuum equation by simulations using small representative networks centering at different physical locations, and thereby computes the effective dynamics of the two phase flow at the continuum scale. On the other hand, the initial and boundary data for the network simulations are determined by the variables used in the continuum model. We present numerical results for single-phase flows with nonlinear flux-pressure dependence, as well as two-phase flows.

Gedeon Burkhard
Gedeon Burkhard | |
Burkhard at the Berlin premiere of The Pursuit of Happyness, 2007
Born | Munich, Germany |
July 3, 1969
Occupation | Actor |
Years active | 1981–present |
Gedeon Burkhard (born July 3, 1969) is a German film and television actor. Although he has appeared in numerous films and TV series in both Europe and the US, he is probably best recognised for his role as Alexander Brandtner in the Austrian/German television series Kommissar Rex (1997–2001), which has been aired on television in numerous countries around the world, or as Corporal Wilhelm Wicki in the 2009 film Inglourious Basterds,
Life and career[edit]
Gedeon Burkhard was born in Munich, Germany, the son of German actress Elisabeth von Molo (then Burkhard) and Wolfgang Burkhard, a great-grandson of Aleksandër Moisiu, a famous Italo-Austro-Albanian actor of the 20th century.[1] Gedeon was educated at a boarding school in England and began his acting career in 1979 in the German TV film Tante Maria. His father, Wolfgang Burkhard, is his manager.[citation needed]
During the 1990s, he lived in the U.S.A, working in several productions, but without much recognition. Burkhard got married in Las Vegas only to divorce 4 months later. After that, he lived in Vienna for Kommisar Rex for more than 5 years, before moving to Berlin for work reasons. Burkhard was working in Cologne on the TV series Alarm für Cobra 11 as the detective Chris Ritter, until the end of his contract in November 2007. His character Chris Ritter had a heroic death. He then returned to Berlin, to be close to his daughter and to work in new projects. He said: "For the moment I will dedicate myself again fully to my artistic vagabond life in Berlin".[2] Burkhard appeared in the Quentin Tarantino movie Inglourious Basterds. Since February 2009, he has been shooting the film "Massel", made for German television. In 2011, he was in Rome, shooting an Italian mini TV series of 6 chapters "Caccia al Re - La Narcotici", with other Italian actor like Stefano Dionisi, Raffaella Rea and Laura Glavan, in which he plays a drug investigator, Daniele Piazza.
In 2011, he competed in the Italian version of "Dancing with the Stars", accompanied by professional Italian dancer Samanta Togni, in which he danced with his "daughter" Laura Glavan.
Gedeon Burkhard is in a relationship with a German woman, Anika Bormann.

As Sailboat Cove stalled, Pinnacle's Serenity Lakes project sailed smoothly, thanks no doubt in part to a lobbyist Pinnacle hired, Yolanda Cash Jackson, an attorney with the influential Fort Lauderdale firm Becker & Poliakoff. A most fortunate enlistment on Pinnacle's part, since Cash Jackson also happens to be the City of Opa-locka's lobbyist to the state legislature.
The money situation was looking good too. The city manager signed off on a $373,000, six-year, no-interest loan. The county's Affordable Housing Advisory Board approved $185,000 for the project, and the Florida Housing Finance Corporation approved more than a million dollars. The company also expected to qualify for several million more in tax credits.
Despite vehement opposition from neighbors, the city's planning board approved Serenity Lakes. The two board members who voted against approval were soon removed from their positions by Opa-locka city commissioners.
Page Shuff is a tiny sprite of a woman with white-blond hair, blue eyes, and a wicked cackle. A well-preserved 50-year-old, she's a retired dominatrix who has, in her estimation, "spanked, whipped, and paddled doctors, lawyers, and politicians from Washington, D.C., to Miami." Her house, where she lives with four rescued parrots, has a high fence and metal covers over the windows for privacy. Directly across Seventeenth Avenue is an earthen berm that marks the edge of the Serenity Lakes property owned by Pinnacle. Shuff says when she first heard about Pinnacle's plans for low-income apartments she decided to sell her house and get out. "I was going to leave," she recounts. "I was sick and tired of the crap that goes on in Dade County." She sold most of her furniture and put a for-sale sign outside her house. Then her elderly neighbors pleaded for her help. "They said, 'We need you.' So now I'm staying," Shuff shrugs ruefully. "They're 79 years old. They can't pick up their house and move like I can."
And so the battle was joined. Shuff had some experience with Pinnacle. She and other local residents successfully stopped a nearby Pinnacle project in 2001. The area is home to mostly middle-class families, a lively group that includes a mix of African Americans, Anglos, and various Caribbean islanders. The opposition to Pinnacle was led by Shuff and a core of other women, including schoolteachers Ronda Mims and Patrenia Dozier-Washington, county employee Anne Cates (a former chief of staff to Maurice Ferré at the county commission), and retiree Gloria Williams-Creighton. The women began collecting documents and contacting public officials.
Shuff kept an eye on the property across the street and claims that Pinnacle contractors arrived in bulldozers to knock down trees and push tires and trash into the lake, all without proper permits. "Every time they'd bring the bulldozers, we'd call the cops," she remembers, adding that the county's Department of Environmental Resources Management issued eleven citations and a stop-work order. "Then [Pinnacle] went back to Opa-locka and applied for permits and Mayor [Myra] Taylor came out and said, 'They're not doing anything wrong.'"
Sean Schwinghammer, at the time a vice president of Pinnacle and intimately familiar with the Serenity Lakes project, remembers things differently. He maintains that the developer had the right to clear the property, but the neighbors made his life hell every time Pinnacle tried to get any work done. "It was garbage and they called DERM and said we were clearing oak trees," he complains. "They came out and said, 'What are you doing?' They almost impounded [the contractor's] truck. They called the mayor. It was like that all the time. I've been doing this kind of work for years and I've never run into a community like this one. The things these people have done to me are unconscionable. I was almost arrested for walking on a site we had under contract. These are not my favorite people. This is a tough group. Don't believe everything you hear."
Shuff just laughs when told of Schwinghammer's reaction. She believes Pinnacle wanted to dump trash and dirt in the lake to build up the shoreline, thus making the buildable acreage a bit larger -- and more profitable. "They wanted to get it resurveyed to stake it to their advantage, but the surveyors wouldn't do it," she alleges. "The more I saw these people operate, it became obvious you could just smell a rat." According to Shuff, the worse the stink, the harder it became for residents to obtain public documents from Opa-locka. In several cases documents they had managed to get copies of later disappeared from public files. Planning director Ervin Smith was eventually fired. His successor, Al Tate, admits he couldn't find many key documents and fears the worst.
On a May visit to Opa-locka's planning department trailer, in search of the Serenity Lakes file, there isn't much to be found in it. In fact just requesting the file raises the eyebrows of the department secretary. "Well, are you for it or against it?" she asks cautiously. Soon the file is provided by the department's assistant director, Gerald Lee.
Considering the contentious and complicated nature of the project, its file is an unimpressively, even worryingly, slim manila folder containing very little actual information. Its contents include a version of the latest site plan for Serenity Lakes, plus a couple of letters from the developer. The original application and supporting documents aren't there, although they should be.

reading about design in nature, i found these words "less is more" as the philosophy of nature in many articals and books. but my studing makes me think that they all looking to nature from one point of view. i am agree that this philosophy is correct in many cases, but there also other philosophies in nature according to the situation and environmental conditions which control the functional performance of any creature.
so is there anyone who can help ne clearing this point?

Phil Taylor has admitted he is ashamed of his actions after his semi-final victory over Raymond van Barneveld in the World Darts Championship.
The pair were involved in an angry confrontation on stage after 15-time world champion Taylor had beaten his old rival 6-4.
Taylor rounded on a bemused Van Barneveld when the pair shook hands and they then exchanged words and gestures before leaving the stage separately. He told Sky Sports News he since said sorry to the Dutchman.
"It's upset me of course it has. To put the record straight, Raymond is a very strong lad and when he shook my hand and pulled me he hurt me a little bit," he said.
"That was all it was and I reacted, to be honest with you, disgracefully. I am ashamed of myself and I feel terrible.
"I have texted Raymond and I have spoken to him and there is nothing else I can do really, only apologise for it. It will never happen again.
"Whatever the PDC decide, chuck the book at me, they can do whatever they want to do - but that's what happened.
"I'm ashamed because I really like Raymond. He loves me to bits and that's why I am really hurt about it because we both think a lot about each other. But we get over it and we move on."
Taylor even admitted the incident on Sunday night had left him questioning his future in the sport, adding: "At the minute, I could just walk away tomorrow night and retire - go out on top really.
"I'm a bit disillusioned about everything. Obviously I'm not feeling very well and I need a break.
"To be honest with you I don't care about darts at the minute. I know I'm in the final, but I don't feel excited or chuffed about it. I feel very, very down at the minute."

A robbery suspect was arrested in Albuquerque, and how that happened is absolutely crazy.
Police say the robber held up a clerk at the Family Dollar store on Menaul near Juan Tabo Sunday. Tony Tenorio showed up a short time later to take his wife, the clerk who was robbed, to lunch. She was talking to police and had just enough time to show her husband surveillance video of the suspect.
With their lunch plans ruined, Tony decided to leave and got on a city bus. That's when the story gets good.
"I looked behind me and he was about four seats behind me, I said that's the guy," Tenorio said.
Yes, in a city of more than a half-million people, the man accused of holding up Tenorio's wife is sitting on the same city bus with him.
"I know it was the guy that did the robbery just two or three hours ago, you know," Tenorio said.
Tony, whose nickname is "Boney" because he was so skinny as a kid, now ripples with muscles. He had a strong hankering to put those muscles to work.
"I want to grab this guy and I want to, you know, strangle him but I said, 'I'm just gonna wait, let the police take care of him, they'll do that, you know. I'll just keep cool but at the same time my adrenaline… I just wanted to do something to him," Tenorio said.
Tony played it smart. When 40-year-old Aaron McDaniel got off the bus, so did he.
"So I follow him and I said, 'Where are you going?' And he says, 'I'm going to the casino.'"
The Downs Casino. Police say McDaniel stole about $100 from the Family Dollar store. When he got to the casino, Tenorio was right behind him. He flagged down a police officer, and McDaniel was arrested a short time later.
"That felt real good. I was like, aw, man they got him, he won't be robbing anybody else anymore," Tenorio said.
McDaniel is currently locked up, charged with robbery and tampering with evidence.

The 2010 Merlot is a juicy, full-bodied wine with great intensity and fine balance to match its attractive price. The warmth of Paso Robles comes through in the wines richness and depth. This is an attractive wine at its level. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2015. (8/ 2012)
A fine, everyday Merlot, although a little rough, but nicely ripe and sweet in raspberry and cherry flavors. It's a country-style wine that will pair well with beef. (12/ 2012)
What this wine lacks in complexity it makes up in verve. It's refreshing but not overly tart, and its bright red, cranberry-like fruit would play well with roast turkey. (2/ 2013)
The Margarita Vineyard, part of the Ancient Peaks estate that was originally planted by Franciscan missionaries in 1780, is truly a site to behold. Located in the southernmost corner of Paso Robles between the the Santa Lucia mountain range and fourteen miles from the ocean, this is one of the coolest vineyards in the region. There are five distinct soil types here; shale, sedimentary, ancient sea bed, volcanic, and granitic soils are all found on different blocks of the vineyard. The ancient sea bed soils are the most impressive - massive white oyster fossils everywhere on top of the soil! The diverse soil types, combined with Ancient Peaks' sustainable practices of cover crops, natural composting, and deficit irrigation (among others) lend depth and character to the wines that can only come from this unique site. These are true terroir wines, and remain some of the Central Coast's best kept secrets for value. (Jim Boyce, K&L staff member)
