Acacia Bistro & Wine Bar (202-537-1040) is very much a family affair. Chef Liliana Dumas and her husband, Maurice, grow many of the vegetables and herbs in their garden, and son Michel has taken on sommelier and front-of-the-house duties. Dumas's cooking is soulful and personal, be it bacalao (dried salt cod), Ligurian seafood stew (the family is originally from Italy's Liguria region), or simple grilled orata with crisp skin and moist flesh. Ligurian-style pasta with pesto, green beans, and potatoes offers simple pleasures, too. Charcuterie boards are generous with Italian and Spanish meats and cheeses. Sit at the sleek bar and sample from almost 90 wallet-friendly Old and New World wines available by the glass and half glass. For lovers of bubbly, the roster of sparklers is longer than most. And don't miss out on dessert. Moist madeleine-style cake with nougat-studded pistachio mousse is a knockout. Entrées $14 to $25.
Moroccan and Lebanese are among the culinary languages spoken at the lively Café Olé (202-244-1330). This means top-notch hummus with sumac-crusted pita chips for dipping; orange-scented lamb tagine with Israeli couscous; Lebanese-style chicken marinated in wild thyme and sesame; and juicy little lamb sliders with sumac-shot aïoli. Even fusion dishes often turn out well—for example, penne tossed with chickpeas, soujouk (a spicy Middle Eastern sausage), and a lick of cream. Entrées $14 to $16.
At Masala Art (202-362-4441), the twang of sitar and Indian art and artifacts are the backdrop for chef Surinder Kumar's thoughtful cooking and spicing. Fried onion with yogurt curry for dipping—where crunchy and creamy meet—is a case in point. So is Kumar's take on the familiar murgh makhani, tender chicken chunks with velvety tomato-cream sauce, a.k.a. butter chicken. If the ultra-creamy dal seems familiar, it's because Kumar and owner Atul Bhola are alums of Glover Park's much-touted Heritage India. Flaky breads such as the cilantro-and-rock-salt-crusted naan are perfect for sopping up gravies and sauces. Entrées $9.95 to $21.95.
Fans of DC interior designer Thomas Pheasant will feel at home at Matisse (202-244-5222), with its pale cream-and-white palette punctuated by playful black ironwork. William Rivera's Modern American cooking echoes the visuals with dishes both simple and eye-opening: fresh Hawaiian hearts of palm with artisanal sheep's-milk ricotta, smoked sea salt, and citrus vinaigrette; pistachio-crusted lemon snapper with fennel and lemon oil; and an ethereal hazelnut gelato with meringue and chocolate sauce for dessert. The Old and New World wine list has nice picks by the glass—just as well because this is a place that seems to be made for lingering conversation. Entrées $22 to $29.
At the sleek Italian trattoria M Cafe Bar (301-986-4818),the ladies-who-shop hold sway by day, while date-nighters and families gather in the evenings. Arugula and endive with shaved pear marries bitter and sweet, and well-marinated slices of flatiron steak top a heap of frisée and house greens kissed with balsamic. Classic chicken Milanese is lightly breaded and shored up with a tangle of arugula and cherry tomatoes; a special of crabcakes underscores the delicacy of the seafood. Pasta standouts include classic pappardelle Bolognese and saffron tagliatelle with a gutsy ragu of lamb, olives, and Asiago cheese. Entrées $9.95 to $25.95.
The sexy, red-splashed lounge at Sushi-Ko Chevy Chase (301-961-1644) is ideal for saketinis and crunchy shrimp maki. (During happy hour, look for discounts on drinks and rolls.) At the long, curved sushi bar, chefs offer the freshest picks of the day, such as buttery spot-prawn nigiri. But most people settle comfortably in booths or tables for pitch-perfect small plates including beef tenderloin with seven-spice powder, seafood and vegetable tempura with vinegar dipping sauce, soy-and-sake-marinated tuna, and pristine sushi. Finish with house-made coconut ice cream with mango mousse, a fun riff on the Creamsicle. Small plates $4.50 to $14.50, entrées $11.50 to $20.

text: My reason for comment was to be supportive of Burges and the interpreters. The media painted a very one sided perspective. This report seemed very unfair at a time when our communities have lost respect for a district that has excellent schools, teachers, and staff that are dragged into the crossfire. One can't blame the students either, they love to "make a point" and "fight for their rights", but at some point they should be encouraged to be accountable too. It makes them better adults (smile)

Public WorksStormwater Engineering
The Stormwater Section of the Engineering Division makes improvements to the stormwater and storm sewer systems to prevent erosion, flooding and property damage. Solutions are generally developed by combining the fields of hydrology, hydraulics, and stormwater treatment with the latest tools available in surveying, geographical information systems (GIS) and computer modeling. Improvements include building regional stormwater facilities, installation or repair of culverts, pipes and structures, and regional Basin Studies.
The Subdivision Rehabilitation Program began in 2003 to implement necessary improvements to modernize the County's older subdivisions and bring their existing stormwater systems to current county standards. The Program focuses on deficiencies such as roadway pavement, storm drainage, flooding of yards, roadways and/or homes, broken inlets, pedestrian facilities, safety issues and utilities, and aims to upgrade, replace or retrofit the system as necessary

Once upon a time, there was a magical world oddly similar to our own. This world divided into itself into the same countries as we have and suffered through the same wars as us. They had the same plants and animals, people and problems. They even had high schools and crappy movies about high schools. It was, for all intents and purposes, cosmic plagiarism exactly the same in all the important places but just contextually different enough to take away your ability to take it seriously.
On the surface of the B-list world, a young couple picnicked under a bright, shining sun. All around them, birds were singing cheery tunes and woodland creatures frolicked. Even the colors around the couple seemed to become super saturated by romance of an outdoor lunch. Maybelle sat on the blanket, glowering at it all. The irate ginger physically could not take it, both because of her fair skin and the layered black outfit she chose to wear. Chains and hot weather didn't mix. Quentin, however, was dressed far more appropriately and came bounding over.
"I got your umbrella!" He held it out with a triumphant, childish smile.
"Parasol, Quentin." She snatched it away and curled up in the tiny bit of shade it provided. "It's a parasol."
"Oh, okay." Her curt tone didn't faze Quentin. It rarely did anymore. He plopped down next to her, sighed happily, and looked up at the sky. Dreamer that he was, Quentin only saw beauty around him, both in nature and in his currently less-than-pleased girlfriend. No amount of her cynicism could distract him from how gorgeous, clever, and perfect she was. She was an angel. An angel who smelled really nice.
"It's so pretty today! It's days like this, Belle, that make me feel like I was alive again." He paused and then glanced at Maybelle out of the corner of his eye, flashing a boyish smile. "Well, days like this and being with you."
"The weather has been dreadful all week. It's as if the very cosmos is conspiring against me. Feeding my misery. Every time I feel the sunlight against my skin, I can't help but fear that I'll be burnt to a lifeless crisp, nevermore forced to contend with the drudge of mortal life."
Maybelle's bitterness didn't deflate Quentin's cheery mood. Not today. He'd accepted that she wanted to be the next Emily Dickinson but that didn't mean he wouldn't put his all into lightening her mood.
"I brought some apples. I know you like them." He pulled the picnic basket over and dug through all of the carefully planned choices. It was hard for Quentin to tell what Maybelle would eat. He'd never really paid attention to vegans before her. He looked it up online but, from what he could decipher, Maybelle didn't know what vegan meant either. It was cute, in a weird way.
"Like, dislike. What does it matter in the end? We're all just spiraling down to our inevitable doom." Maybelle turned her head, finally acknowledging Quentin was there. "All of us humans anyway."
His shoulders dropped. He hated this topic. Why couldn't they just enjoy their "life" together? Maybelle couldn't let it go.
"Tell me about death again, Quentin. What does it feel like?"
"Bad, I guess." He shrugged, inspecting the apple with a sudden interest.
"Come now, Quentin, you know I crave details."
"I don't know, Belle. Not fun. I don't like to think about it. This looks like a nice apple. I got it just for you."
"I don't want an apple. Or any other food or drink. Sustaining my mortal existence is a bitter, pointless struggle against the inevitable. A struggle I have no interest in taking part in." Maybelle slid closer and leaned on Quentin. "Tell me more."
She was so pretty underneath her black make up and piercings. Quentin wished she could see it too. She liked how it looked though, so he'd make sure to smile and compliment her dark appearance whenever she got dolled up. Oh well. Maybelle was the first girl to take interest in him since he died. Okay, that wasn't entirely true. She was the first girl to take an interest in him ever. That wasn't the most important part, though. She knew he was dead and only liked him more for it. What else could a guy ask for?
"Quentin. Look at me. You know how I loathe my human existence. It is pointless and plagued by close-minded, ignorant people."
"Being undead isn't all that great either," he said, rubbing some of the stitches that kept his arm on. "I wish I was still human."
"Oh, Quentin." Maybelle wrapped her arms around him, which instantly brought a smile to his face. Hugs were one of the few things he remembered how to feel. "Poor, sweet, simple Quentin. Humans are locusts, eating up the world and leaving it barren. If you hadn't died, you would have just grown old and bitter, disillusioned by life. Yours is a far superior existence."
It wasn't what Quentin wanted to hear, of course, but he was getting a hug so he let her negativity slide. He always did.
"You smell nice."
"Does that mean you are going to bite me?"
"Why not?"
"Maybelle, please. It is a beautiful day. Let's not argue."
"We aren't arguing," she said, moving away from Quentin and brushing a stray leaf off her skirt with an annoyed expression. "It's too bright out here. I'm going to burn up. Would you help me join the ranks of the undead if I was already dying?"
"We could move over by that tree and get in the shade."
"Would you, Quentin?"
"I don't know. Maybe. I don't want to think about you dying."
Maybelle nodded and left for the shade. It was a good enough answer for her. That should have worried Quentin more than it did. However, he saw a chance to get their picnic back on track so, ever the optimist, he let it go. He sloppily folded up their blanket then grabbed the picnic basket with his good arm. He didn't want to risk facing his verbose girlfriend disarmed. Quentin chuckled to himself. Disarmed. That was funny. He'd have to remember to slip that into a conversation with Maybelle. She liked poetic things. Puns were poetic, weren't they?
Quentin trotted over to Maybelle and, much to his dismay, found her sawing at her wrist with a plastic knife. Her suicide attempt may have been successful if moving a blanket twenty feet took several hours. Unfortunately for her, such was not the case and her wrist was still perfectly intact.
"Maybelle. What are you doing?"
"Killing myself."
"You know why, Quentin! Mine is a foul, tortured existence. If I am already on the brink of death, you'll save me."
Quentin held his hand out.
"Give me the knife, Maybelle."
"Pretty please?"
Quentin sighed. He didn't want to have to grab the knife away from her but, at the rate she was sawing, she'd break skin in the next half hour.
"Maybelle, stop it. I just want to have a nice picnic where no one dies. Is that really so much to ask?"
Maybelle shot him a venomous glare but tossed the plastic utensil on the grass.
"You want me to be miserable? Fine! Stay here and have a happy little picnic with yourself while I rot alone!"
Quentin wasn't sure if this counted as a victory but Maybelle wasn't trying to kill herself anymore and that was something. Did she want him to chase her? He couldn't tell. Girls were so confusing.
As Quentin stood there, debating the pros and cons of going after Maybelle, one of the frolicking woodland creatures scampered over to him. It took him a minute to notice the squirrel at his feet. Quentin glanced between Maybelle and his potential lunch. After deciding she was far enough away, he lunged after the rodent. It didn't stand a chance. It should have known better than to come up to strangers with blue-grey skin.
"Hey, Quentin! Get over here. You have the keys! Quentin? Quentin!" Maybelle spun on her heel angrily and marched back over. Quentin, unfortunately, was too busy happily munching on his meal to hear the jingling sound of Maybelle's chains and his impending doom. "YOU'LL KILL A POOR, DEFENSELESS SQUIRREL BUT NOT ME?!"

text: U.S. drops activist from award ceremony after tweetsBy Erin McPike, CNNUpdated 2:18 AM ET, Sat March 9, 2013Story highlightsEgyptian activist Samira Ibrahim had been selected for courage awardState Department deferred honor after offensive tweets attributed to her surfacedIbrahim tweeted her account had been hacked; another response was posted laterAward ceremony honored other women from Afghanistan, Syria, Vietnam and NigeriaA day before Secretary of State John Kerry and first lady Michelle Obama commended a select group of women from around the world for putting their lives at risk while defending women's rights, the State Department pulled the plug on one honoree after a number of tweets attributed to her came to light -- some anti-American and anti-Semitic.In 2011, activist Samira Ibrahim, 26, was detained by Egyptian soldiers and subjected to a virginity test that she said made her feel as though she had been raped. She spoke out and sued the Egyptian military.Last year, Time magazine named her to its list of the World's Most Influential People. On Friday, she was to have been one of 10 women to receive the International Women of Courage Award.On Tuesday, the State Department was alerted by the Holocaust Museum to contentious tweets it said came from Ibrahim's account."Today is the anniversary of 9/11. May every day come with America burning," read one.Another was offensive to Jews.Why weren't the tweets discovered earlier?When they were posted six months ago, some activists replied to them, pointing out the remarks were unacceptable and anti-Semitic.The Weekly Standard first reported them.CNN attempted to contact Ibrahim without success. But she tweeted that her Twitter account was hacked and that she did not post the tweets.But subsequent tweets on her account said that "I refused to apologize to the Zionist lobby in America, under pressure from the U.S. government, for previous Anti-Zionist statements so that prize was withdrawn."The State Department said it initially selected her due to the "incredible bravery and courage she displayed at the time of the Tahrir Square protests," agency spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.But on Thursday, the Obama administration changed course. "We, as a department, became aware very late in the process about Samira Ibrahim's alleged public comments. After careful consideration, we've decided that we should defer presenting this award to Ms. Ibrahim this year so that we have a chance to look further into these statements."The International Women of Courage Award annually recognizes women who have shown exceptional courage and leadership in advocating for women's rights and empowerment, the State Department said.The nine award recipients on Friday included women from Afghanistan, Honduras, Nigeria, Russia, Somalia, China, Syria and Vietnam.More from politicsWhite House, Clinton aides at odds over emailsCIA announces overhaul to combat new threatsPowered by Livefyre

FWC plans for ensuring Florida is the undisputed
bass fishing capital of the world
The seven-member Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is appointed to staggered terms by the Governor and meets five times a year to hear staff reports, consider rule proposals, and conduct other Commission business. At these meetings we encourage public input, as well as listening to scientific and other factual reports provided by FWC staff. Under Florida's Constitution, we enact rules and regulations regarding the state's fish and wildlife resources and help ensure staff achieves their mission of managing fish and wildlife resources for their long-term well-being and the benefit of people.
In June of 2011, after more than a year of scientific review and citizen input, we approved the Florida Black Bass Management Plan. The plan recognizes that black bass (Florida largemouth, shoal, spotted and Suwannee basses) are tremendous natural resources enhancing the quality of life for citizens and tourists. In 2006, anglers enjoyed more than 14 million days fishing for this premier sport fish in Florida. Moreover, they generated approximately $1.25 billion in economic impact for Florida communities and supported approximately 12,000 jobs. (Note: Over all, Florida freshwater fishing accounts for $2.6 billion in economic impact and 24,800 jobs).
Trophy Florida largemouth bass are a huge draw to resident anglers, tourists from around the globe and tournaments, while fisheries with high catch rates of quality bass, and fisheries with relatively rare shoal, spotted and Suwannee basses have an appeal of their own. Properly managing black bass fisheries will provide profound ecological, economic and sociological benefits for Floridians.
Numerous pressures challenge fisheries managers, including human population growth and development, declining water quality and current water management challenges resulting from multiple uses of our waters. In response, action steps identified in the new Black Bass Management Plan were divided into four sections: New Opportunities, Habitat Management, Fish Management and People Management. Among the innovative approaches promoted in the plan is a new high-profile TrophyCatch angler recognition program to document trophy catches by rewarding anglers for releasing and reporting bass weighing more than 8 pounds, including a special hall-of-fame category for bass greater than 13 pounds. Renewed aquatic habitat enhancement efforts, including modified aquatic plant management approaches, will enhance production of these fish.
You can learn more not only about mandatory freshwater fishing regulations in this publication but also about our management philosophies, funding for conservation (largely through fishing license sales and grants from the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration program), angler recognition programs and fishing tips.
Florida already is the "Fishing Capital of the World." Now, we look forward to working with stakeholders to document that Florida is the undisputed "Bass Fishing Capital of the World."
Regulations in red are new this year.

It may be conference championship weekend in the NFL, but here at Sheridan Hoops, we never stop talking basketball. It's been a few days since our latest MVP rankings, but if you missed them, here they are. There's also been a lot of talk about David Stern's impending abdication from the throne of the NBA, most recently from Mark Heisler. But right now, I've got all the latest news from around the NBA:
SH Blog: Nuggets lose JaVale McGee; Pierce and Garnett still don't talk to Ray Allen
Today the Knicks got destroyed by the Spurs. The Spurs are still great, and the Knicks are missing Tyson Chandler, but this can't say good things about the Knicks' ability to stay near the top of the East.
SH Blog: CP3 to return to Clippers; Iguodala, Josh Smith have significant interest; Bargnani to Knicks?
Tick-tock, tick-tock … less than six hours left until teams can contact players and free agency begins. Check out Moke Hamilton's top 50, and the podcast where Moke discusses what could happen with them, to get ready. One thing we probably won't have – to the massive relief of probably everyone in the world – is an immensely protracted drama regarding Dwight Howard's next destination. The All-Star center will only visit five teams, and hopes to have decided by the time
SH Blog: Calipari to coach in Brooklyn? Shabazz's stock falling?
This is the best weekend of the year to be a college basketball fan. As such, we've got a very NCAA-heavy edition of this NBA news blog.
Most Improved Player Rankings: Week Seven
The race for this season's Most Improved Player reminds me of one of those computer-simulated races that take place on the jumbotrons at arenas throughout the country. You know what I'm talking about. They've got the cute characters and cool animation, but they end up with more twists and turns than an M. Night Shyamalan movie. Most races go something like this:
Suns Eclipsed By Clippers; Mayo (40) Outscores Harden (39)
The new lineup wasn't the answer for the setting Suns, losers of six straight. Jared Dudley started at SF but scored just 8 PTS in 18 minutes; Michael Beasley actually played better than usual off the bench (21 PTS, 5 AST, 4 REB) but was -21 in 30 minutes and made a couple of boneheaded turnovers.
Knicks Win Without Carmelo; Pau Gasol Rumors Swirl
OK, I'll play. Doug Smith of the Toronto Star is speculating about a trade of Andrea Bargnani for Pau Gasol. Full disclosure #1: 30 years ago, Smitty was the sports editor in a small Ontario town and hired me as a columnist. He's the best. Full disclosure #2: I live ten minutes from the Air Canada Centre (there you go, Sheridan, a 'legit' Canadian spelling) and am so sick of Bargnani's frequent disappearing acts, I will eat any pasta but
SH Blog: Top 10 surprises of the young NBA season
Where to begin? Mike Brown's exit? Phil Jackson's overnight disappearance? The unending string of power forward injuries? A reformed J.R. Smith on the undefeated New York Knicks? This season has been full of shocking developments; if you look closely enough you can find a significant surprise in nearly every division and on every team.

Splitting Ground and Space Skills? Dual Spec?

I been wanting them to seperate Ground and Space Skills for months now. Because a good majority of STO players invest in Space skills, in which there can be exception for Tactical players.
I really would love to see them improve the ground tree so it is more involved and actually tree out into actual class specializations. For example, right now STO Science can be both Doctor and "Scientist", but really saw McCoy or Crusher knowing Astrophysics.
Tacticals could easily have specialization into the various weapons and even advanced Martial Arts and not even needing weapons.
Engineers can easily go into a Turrets, Shields, Weapon Modifications, Drones (Medical, Attack, Support).
Science going into Medical Profession, Chemistry (make new types of gases to stun), or Physics.
Engineers and Sciences could have available basic weapon skills and martial arts.
Tactical and Engineers could learn basic medicine and make better use of Medical Kits and hypos.
If Cryptic does make the ground tree available, then they can enhance ground combat a bit more and make it challenging than a cakewalk on Normal Difficulty. And perhaps people fully speced for ground could go do the new Elite Mode and handle those terribily overpowered mobs.

Description This application is claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/809,402, filed May 31, 2006, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. This disclosure relates generally to fullerene-comprising compounds, methods of preparing such compounds, and to their subsequent use as low dielectric constant materials in microelectronic devices. In one embodiment, the present invention provides methods of producing a porous film. In suitable embodiments, a polyfunctional fullerene monomer comprising at least one reactive arm is provided. A composite precursor solution comprising the polyfunctional fullerene monomer and at least one organic polymer porogen is then prepared. The composite is then applied to a substrate and the polyfunctional monomer cured. At least a portion of the porogen is then removed to form the porous film. In exemplary embodiments, the polyfunctional fullerene monomer comprises a fullerene (e.g., C60) and at least one reactive arm comprising: a reactive group coupled to the fullerene; an organic spacer portion; and a metal or metalloid alkoxide. Exemplary reactive arms suitably comprise: an amine, an azide, a diene or a carbanion; an alkyl organic spacer portion; and a metal or metalloid alkoxide selected from the group consisting of �Si(OR)3, �Ge(OR)3�Ti(OR)3, �Zr(OR)3, �Sn(OR)3, �Al(OR)2 and �B(OR)2. For example, the reactive arms can be 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, 2-aminoethyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 2-aminoethyl-3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, diethylenetriaminopropyltrimethoxysilane, hexane-diaminomethyltriethoxysilane or 11-aminoundecyltriethoxysilane. Exemplary porogens for use in the practice of the present invention include acrylate-based polymers such as poly(methyl methacrylate). Suitably methods for applying the composite include, spin-coating, dip-coating or spray-coating. Suitably, the curing comprises heating to between about 50� C. to 120� C. in a moist atmosphere. In some embodiments, the curing comprises heating the functionalized fullerenes to greater than about 80� C. Exemplary methods for removing the porogen include thermal baking, for example, heating to between about 150� C. to 350� C. in an inert atmosphere. In some embodiments, the removing comprises heating the functionalized fullerenes to greater than about 200� C. in an inert atmosphere. The present invention also provides methods of producing a porous film. For example, a plurality of C60 fullerenes are provided, and then aminohexyltriethoxysilane is added to the fullerenes, wherein amino groups of the aminohexyltriethoxysilane react with the fullerenes to generate functionalized fullerenes. The functionalized fullerenes are combined with poly(methyl methacrylate) to generate a composite and then applied the to a substrate. The polyfunctional monomer is then cured, and at least a portion of the poly(methyl methacrylate) is removed to form a porous film. In further embodiments, films, including films produced by the methods of the present invention, are provided. The derivatized fullerene monomers of the present disclosure, used as precursors to matrix-forming polymers, and which are well-suited for forming highly crosslinked three-dimensional networks, include a central core comprising a fullerene that is subsequently derivatized by a plurality of radial arms. Such derivatized fullerene molecules possess a high solubility in common solvents and the ability to form three-dimensional network polymers upon condensation with adjacent clusters. The clusters and polymers prepared according to the present disclosure are largely composed of fragments exhibiting intrinsically low dielectric constants. The present invention also relates to methods for combining the monomers with a thermally labile organic polymer porogen to form a composite structure, depositing the composite structure as a film on a desired substrate, polymerizing the fullerene-containing matrix material, and subsequently removing the polymer porogen to yield a porous polymer film, especially when such films are used as intra- or interlayer dielectrics for microelectronic devices. Any preparative route that produces a similar soluble, reactive fullerene monomer, where the core is symmetrically surrounded by one or more arms each terminated by a reactive group may be used. One method involves the use of a bifunctional coupling agent to form the arms that contain, at one end an amine group and at the opposite end a metal- or metalloid-alkoxide. Any coupling agent which is capable of both reacting with a fullerene and undergoing condensation reactions with other identical coupling agents may be used. The fullerene core of the organic phase precursor monomers includes, but is not limited to one or more of the following: C60, C70, C72, C74, C76, C78, C84, C96, and higher analogues up to, and beyond, C184 or mixtures thereof. Commercially available mixtures of C60 and C70, commonly know as Fullerite, fullerene extract, or fullerene soot may also be employed in various embodiments of the present invention. Many possible compounds that are well-suited to form the reactive arms of the organic phase precursor monomers are readily available. The reactive arms include three general parts; a terminal group known to react with fullerenes, a linear organic spacer, and an opposing terminal group capable of undergoing multiple condensation reactions, or which is cross-linkable, with similar groups. Any terminal group capable of forming covalent bonds with the fullerene core may be used. For example, terminal groups to couple the arms to the fullerene core include a primary or secondary amine. Amines are known to those skilled in the art to react with fullerenes in a facile manner by nucleophilic addition reactions across one of the many delocalized bonds of the fullerene cage. Anywhere from one to twelve amine molecules may be added to a single C60 molecule, the actual number depending largely on their steric bulk. One example being six. Other reactive groups, especially other nucleophiles, may be used, which include, but are not limited to azides, dienes, and carbanions. The organic-spacer portion of the coupling agent may be any spacer group capable of connecting the terminal groups. For example, the spacer groups include, but are not limited to an alkyl chain, a polyether chain, a polyunsaturated alkyl chain, or an amine-containing alkyl chain. In one example, the organic spacer is an alkyl chain 3-20 carbon units long, alternatively 3-7 carbon units long. The spacer chain may include one or more heteroatomic groups, such as ether groups or amino groups, and optionally, may further include one or more rigid components, including, but not limited to alkynyl-segments, aryl-segments, or other cyclic segments. The opposing terminal reactive group used for linking the organic phase monomers to each other and to the other components of the composite structure may be any cross-linkable group. For example, the cross-linkable terminal group includes, but is not limited to metal- or metalloid-alkoxides. Alkoxides are well known in the art to readily undergo hydrolysis and condensation reactions, forming polymeric oxides, and to bond with, upon hydrolysis, the chemically similar surfaces of solid oxides. Any one of numerous possible alkoxide groups may be used according to the present disclosure, including, but not limited to, �Si(OR)3, �Ge(OR)3�Ti(OR)3, �Zr(OR)3, �Sn(OR)3, �Al(OR)2, �B(OR)2. In one embodiment, as silica is a well known dielectric material, an example of a terminal group is �Si(OR)3. The following are non-limiting examples of commercially available coupling agents which can be used in the practice of the present invention; 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, 2-aminoethyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 2-aminoethyl-3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, diethylenetriamino-propyltrimethoxysilane, hexanediaminomethyltriethoxysilane, 11-aminoundecyltriethoxysilane. However, numerous additional compounds may prove useful. The preparation of the polyfunctional fullerene monomer may be readily achieved. The desired amount of the selected fullerene core is added to a large excess of the selected coupling agent. Initially, the fullerene is insoluble in the coupling agent and is present as a fine black suspension. Reaction of the amine group of the coupling agent with the fullerene occurs readily at ambient temperature. However, heating the mixture to 50-60� C. allows the reaction to proceed at a more desirable rate. As the reaction proceeds, the partially derivatized fullerenes exhibit increased solubility in the coupling agent and the mixture exists as a dark brown solution. After approximately 18 hours, the formation of the organic phase precursor monomer is complete, with the maximum number of coupling agents, typically six, being added to the fullerene core. The unreacted coupling agent is removed using vacuum-distillation and recovered for use in future preparations, leaving a deep brown-black residue containing the organic phase precursor monomer. An example of such a compound, derived from C60 and 6-aminohexyltriethoxysilane is shown in The derivatized fullerene monomers possesses a high solubility in many common organic solvents, including alkanes, toluene, benzene, ketones, and alcohols. Examples of alcohols for use in the present invention include, but are not limited to ethanol and 2-propanol, which are solvents employed for the deposition of spin-on inorganic films in the microelectronics industry. The residue prepared as above may be redissolved in a solvent suitable for application to the desired substrate, such as ethanol. The fullerene monomers may form network polymers though condensation reactions with adjacent monomers or clusters of monomers. With multiple reactive arms surrounding each monomer fullerene core, each monomer can form several strong links with neighboring monomers. Highly-crosslinked polymers show significant increases in both thermal stability and mechanical strength relative to similar polymers that are less crosslinked. Both of these qualities are important for a material that is intended for use in microelectronic devices, where temperatures of 400� C. as well as strong mechanical forces are common during processing. The polyfunctional fullerene monomers may also form strong bonds to common substrates encountered in microelectronic structures. These substrates include, but are not limited to oxides and metals, two classes of materials that form strong bonds to films containing alkoxides. Excellent film adhesion is a property that a successful dielectric material should possess to achieve use in practice. With multiple reactive groups per cluster, the fullerene monomer may form strong bonds to a desired substrate, especially relative to other organic polymers found in the art. The matrix-forming polyfunctional fullerene monomer may be combined with an organic polymeric porogen material in a suitable solvent, to form a precursor solution for the composite structure used to form the final porous film. The material for the porogen phase is suitably thermally or chemically removable under conditions that do not degrade the fullerene-containing matrix. In addition, the material suitably will be adequately soluble in a solvent, or mixture of solvents that also show good solvating ability towards the matrix-forming fullerene monomers. The porogen is suitably miscible with the matrix-forming monomer in proportions adequate to yield the desired amount of final film porosity, and it should be available in a suitable range of molecular weights to form pores of the desired size. Examples of porogens for use in the present invention include acrylate-based polymer porogens. One example of a porogen for use includes, but is not limited to, poly(methyl methacrylate). This polymer is widely available in various desirable molecular weights, shows good solubility in useful solvents such as ketones and ethers, and is easily thermally depolymerized with the onset occurring above 150� C. These may be derived from copolymers of methyl methacrylate with other acrylate esters, from direct polymerization of other acrylate monomers, or from copolymers with other monomers such as styrene. Currently available examples of other useful acrylate-based polymer porogens include, but are not limited to, poly(methyl methacrylate-co-ethyl acrylate), poly(methyl methacrylate-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate), poly(methyl methacrylate-co-butyl methacrylate), poly(styrene-co-methyl methacrylate), or poly(styrene-co-butadiene-co-methyl methacrylate). Alternatively, the polymeric porogen may include either a linear polymer or a crosslinked polymer formed by any common crosslinking agent including, but not limited to, allylmethacrylate or 1,3,5-trivynylbenzene. The ratio of the matrix-forming monomer and the porogen is chosen such that each phase exists as a continuous network conterminous with the other phase. This is provides a free path for the subsequent removal of the porogen, to avoid the formation of pores larger than about 20 nm in diameter, and to leave a strong, continuous matrix after the porogen has been removed. Additionally, the amount of porogen is suitably sufficient to ensure that the desired level of porosity of the final film is achieved, with a corresponding lowering of the film's dielectric constant. In one example, the porogen occupies between about 30% and 60% of the volume of the dried composite film after deposition onto the desired substrate. Other compositions that yield a suitably strong porous film may also be used. A solution of the matrix-forming fullerene monomer may be combined with a solution of the chosen porogen, forming a composite film precursor solution. This solution is applied to the desired substrate by any method commonly employed in the art, such as spin-coating, dip-coating, or spray-coating. A subsequent initial thermo-chemical curing step removes residual solvent and initiates the hydrolysis and condensation reactions of the terminal alkoxide groups of the radial arms in the matrix-forming phase, crosslinking fullerene-containing monomers and bonding the entire composite structure to the solid substrate. This step is performed at a temperature and under an atmosphere sufficient to hydrolyze and condense the alkoxide groups of the matrix-forming monomers, but which will leave the porogen phase unaffected. The initial curing step is suitably performed between about 50� C. and about 120� C. under an atmosphere of moist air. A section of such a composite structure on a solid substrate is shown in The porogen phase may be removed during a subsequent thermal bake. This step is generally performed at a temperature, and under an atmosphere, which will depolymerize and volatilize the porogen, but leave the polymerized fullerene matrix unaffected. This typically requires an inert atmosphere, typically oxygen-free argon or nitrogen, and at temperatures in the range between about 150 and about 350� C., though temperatures outside of this range may be employed without departing from the methods of the present disclosure. Alternatively, a portion or all of the porogen phase may be extracted from the composite film prior to the thermal cure. This is typically accomplished by contacting the film with a solvent capable of dissolving the porogen while leaving the fullerene polymer matrix unaffected. The matrix materials of the films prepared as disclosed above possess both an intrinsically low dielectric constant, due to the low silica content of the fullerene polymer, and a controllable amount of porosity. The low dielectric constant of the fullerene polymer allows for a lower amount of porosity to be used when a certain dielectric constant is desired, relative to commonly used porous matrices with higher dielectric constants, such as silica. A summary of the process steps typically contemplated according to the present disclosure is shown in The following non-limiting example demonstrates the experimental conditions suitable to prepare a microporous films of polymerized fullerene monomers, useful as low dielectric constant materials, according to the methods described hereinabove. A porous, three-dimensional polymeric network of linked fullerenes with a low dielectric constant was prepared according to the processes of the present disclosure. A solution of a polyfunctional starburst-shaped fullerene molecule to be used as a monomer for said polymer was prepared as follows. About 0.50 grams of C60 was mixed with about 20 mL of 6-aminohexyltriethoxysilane in a 100-mL Schlenk flask. The flask was flushed with dry nitrogen, and the mixture heated to about 60� C. for about 24 hours. During that time the mixture slowly changed from a clear liquid containing a fine black suspended powder to a dark brown solution with a moderate amount of a thick brown precipitate. The remaining 6-aminohexyltriethoxysilane was removed by vacuum distillation. This should be accomplished at the lowest possible pressure so that lower distillation temperatures may be employed. After the brown-black residue was dry, about a 0.250-gram portion was removed and dissolved in about 10 mL of anhydrous ethanol/10 mL of acetone. This solution was filtered to remove any undissolved material and reserved for use in the next step. The above solution was mixed with a second solution of about 0.150 grams of poly(methylmethacrylate) (MW is about 50,000 g/mol) in methylisobutyl ketone. The composite precursor solution was coated onto a 2�2-cm section of silicon wafer and allowed to air dry. The coated substrate was then heated to about 60� C. for about 30 minutes to remove residual solvent. The temperature was then increased to about 90� C. and the substrate was held at that temperature under an atmosphere of moist air for about 120 minutes. The atmosphere was then exchanged for dry argon, and the temperature above the coated substrate was increased at a rate of about 5� C./min to about 200� C. and held at that temperature for about 60 minutes. A continued increase at about 5� C./min to about 350� C. and an isothermal bake at that temperature for about 30 minutes completed the removal of the porogen and the curing process. The resulting brown film contained approximately 50% porosity and exhibited excellent adhesion and scratch resistance and is well-suited for use as a low dielectric constant material. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been presented. The invention is not limited to these examples. These examples are presented herein for purposes of illustration, and not limitation.

2015 Lexus RC 350 and RC F First Drive
Specification sheets don't tell the whole story, and if there's a single brand that has illustrated this time and again, it's Lexus. Parent brand Toyota plainly got out of the sporty car business a decade ago, but some Lexuses have continued to look the part. Even more important, the elements you look for — like generous power, rear-wheel drive and double-wishbone suspensions — have often been present. Regardless, they haven't always translated to the emotional experience you expect, or at least desire, based on what you see in the specs. The new 2015 RC coupe, especially in RC F form, changes all of that in ways its predecessor, the IS-F sedan, failed to do.
Related: 2015 Lexus RC F at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show
The RC, a two-door four-seater, is intended to compete with the likes of Audi's A5 and BMW's 4 Series (that's the former 3 Series coupe). It comes in three versions: the RC 350, the RC 350 F Sport (the regular car with substantial performance tweaks) and the RC F (a full-blown competitor for the Audi RS5 and BMW M4). I tested all three versions in New York state and at the Monticello Motor Club, a private racetrack in Monticello, N.Y.
Engines include the venerable 3.5-liter V-6 producing 306 horsepower in the RC 350, and an updated version of the 5.0-liter V-8 from the IS-F, producing 467 hp in the new RC F. Both engines drive the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission, though the RC 350 also offers all-wheel drive that instead pairs with a six-speed automatic.

San Francisco, August, 1977
"The dark! It's watching me–make it go away!"
Wrenched out of sleep, Kate sat up in bed. From across the hall, Sara screamed again. "Mommy! Make it go away!"
Throwing the covers back, Kate glimpsed the glowing numerals on the alarm clock–one thirty-five in the morning. Nightgown tangled around her hips, she dashed into Sara's room and snapped on the light. Her daughter sat up in bed, rigid, her eyes wide, shrieking, "The dark! The dark!"
Blinking in the sudden glare, Kate sat on the edge of the bed and put her arms around Sara. The child's slender body felt as stiff as a mannequin. Stroking her hair, Kate found it damp, plastered to her scalp with sweat. Sara gave no sign of seeing, hearing, or feeling anything. She screamed over and over, emitting a siren wail like nothing Kate had ever heard. Shaking, she murmured Sara's name and massaged the tight knots of her shoulders under the Winnie-the-Pooh nightshirt.
Night terrors. Now, with her panic fading, Kate remembered reading about this phenomenon, a nightmare-like seizure so extreme nothing could break its grip until it ran its course. She'd never expected to see it in Sara, though.
She set her teeth, her own pulse pounding in her head, and waited for the attack to end. After several minutes, Sara abruptly fell silent and slumped back, eyes shut. Kate eased her onto the pillow, tucking sheet and quilt up to her neck. She looked sound asleep.
Kate watched for ten minutes before she could force herself, still trembling, to stumble back to her own bed. She lay awake for over an hour, straining her ears for anysound from the other room. Sara had never before expressed any kind of irrational fear, certainly not of the dark. Was she sick? She didn't have a fever. Was the stress of having no father and a working mother taking its psychological toll? I can't believe that, not when she's always handled it so well. And if I did believe it, what could I do about it? A succession of worries chased each other around Kate's skull like hamsters on a wheel until exhaustion stilled them.
* * * *
The next morning, she considered asking for the day off from work. To her surprise, though, Sara didn't mention her panic attack. She dressed herself and ate her whole-wheat raisin toast as calmly as ever. When Mrs. Pacheco, the widowed grandmother who lived upstairs, arrived to baby-sit as usual, Sara welcomed her with no apparent reluctance. Rather than upset Sara all over again, Kate left at her normal time.
When she came home that afternoon, though, Mrs. Pacheco greeted her with the whispered remark, "I don't understand what's gotten into Sara this afternoon. About an hour ago, she started acting, well, nervous."
"Nervous?" Kate kept her voice low, glancing from the foyer into the living room, where Sara sat on the rug in front of the TV, watching Sesame Street.
"It's not like her, Mrs. Jacobs, that's why it worried me," said Mrs. Pacheco. "She said something about a dream she had last night."
"A nightmare. She's never had one before that I know of." So she hasn't forgotten it, after all. Kate gnawed on her lower lip as she shrugged out of her jacket and hung it in the entryway closet.
Mrs. Pacheco whispered, "She said she didn't want you to leave tonight."
"But how could she possibly know–" Kate herself hadn't known until half an hour before quitting time that her boss had an assignment for her this evening. She stifled a twinge of guilt about having to go out. This is the 1970s; mothers are allowed to have careers. As if I had a choice, anyway!
Recalling last night's hysterical outburst gave her an almost physical chill. It contrasted so sharply with Sara's normal behavior. No mother could ask for a more self-possessed, composed four-year-old. The child probably got her competent manner from associating so much with adults. Now Kate didn't know how to cope with this sudden change. Could it come from the strain of acting older than her age? Did Sara think she had to act grown up because of her mother's job? Cut out the amateur psychology, Kate told herself. One nightmare does not mean a breakdown.
At that moment Oscar the Grouch finished his trash song, and Sara leaped up to run into the foyer. "Mommy, you're home!" she cried in a surprised tone as atypical as the fears. She flung her arms around Kate's waist.
"Of course, just like this time every day." Kate let Sara clasp her hand and tug her to the couch.
Barefoot, dressed in lime green shorts and T-shirt, Sara perched cross-legged on the couch, with her elbows resting on her knees and chin supported by her fists. "Please don't go out tonight. It's real important." Now she wasn't screaming or crying, just making a statement she obviously saw as plain fact.
"I have to. I promised." Sara usually understood about promises. Kate stroked her daughter's honey-colored, shoulder-length hair. "I've worked late plenty of times, and you didn't mind." She glanced up at Mrs. Pacheco, waiting in the entry hall. "I'm awfully sorry about the late notice, but could you possibly watch her this evening? Starting about six-thirty?"
"Of course, Mrs. Jacobs, no problem," said the older woman, though her worried frown didn't relax.

**** Not truly comprehending what frightens her, Kate runs into the street into the path of an oncoming car, and destiny. When she wakes in the hospital, she is introduced to people who will change her and her daughter's lives forever. Despite her unbelief, Kate is forced to accept that her daughter, Sara, is the target of an Ancient evil, and take her into hiding. Their liason with the outside world is Ray, a man she grows to love as they battle darkness together. All too soon, their fragile joy will be threatened, requiring all their resources of love in this life and the world beyond to be utilized to save everyone. ...................................... Even before the author began quoting CS Lewis and Madeline L'engle, I was thinking of this as something that people who enjoyed their books as children would eagerly grab. Within the action packed thriller is a message of hope and overcoming that speaks to so many today and shows that joy is not separate from sorrow altogether. ****

Review: Blocks for Mac is a new twist on an old favorite
Enjoy a Tetris-style puzzle game with this basic but fun app.
We've loved Tetris ever since we started playing it on our NES in the 1980s, and we're always excited to try out any variation on the Tetris theme. Blocks for Mac isn't perfect, but we found ourselves spending more time playing it than we had intended, which is always a good sign.
Our biggest problem with Blocks for Mac became apparent as soon as we launched the program; the window was too tall to fit completely on our screen, and there was no way to resize it. It was possible to play the game, anyway, but since we couldn't see the bottom row of cubes, we were at a disadvantage from the start. The object of Blocks for Mac is to make cubes disappear by matching at least three cubes of the same color in a row, either vertically or horizontally. Tetris players may be expecting to see an assortment of shapes falling from the top of the screen, but Blocks for Mac supplies only vertical columns that are three cubes long. Cubes within each column come in different colors; and while you can't rotate the columns, you can reorder the cubes within the columns. Even without a Help file, it didn't take us long to figure out Blocks for Mac. The game offers 10 levels of play, from Baby to Sanitarium. You can turn the sound and the piece preview feature on and off, but that's about it in the way of features. Overall, we found Blocks for Mac to be a lot of fun, though Mac users with smaller screens might be frustrated by the inability to resize the interface.
Blocks for Mac installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this game to all users.

I almost can't believe it's come to this. It seems like minutes ago I was an undergrad. Hours ago I was in high school. And yet I'm sitting here in my room, actually writing my doctoral thesis.
I started my blog on IGN back in early 2005, during my third year at Cambridge. Back then I still had no idea whatsoever what to do when I finished my Master's. Back then most of my blog posts were me stressing out over exams, or gushing about my upcoming summer holiday plans. Going through my old blog I can read along over the course of the following year as I documented my initial thoughts that I might like to do a PhD, my doubts and questions, my final decision to apply to Tsukuba... and then I can follow right on through my entrance exams, my arrival in Japan, and everything I've been through since.
(One day I should go back and make some of my older posts public; they were all auto-hidden when the blog system transferred over.)
And here I am now with twenty-two days until my thesis is due. Twenty-two days to finish putting together the single piece of work that will represent everything I've done over the last three and a half years. It's kind of crazy how much of my blood, sweat and tears will have gone into this thing. (It's kind of crazy that I'm sitting here writing a blog post instead of working on it.)
So if I'm not around much from now until the end of January, here's where I'll be:
And here is an EXCITING SNEAK PREVIEW of one of my prettier diagrams (what can I say, I like colours):


text: NDAA has a partner in crimeMost of you have heard about the NDAA. Obama signed it into law on December 31, 2011. What I realized after some research is that the NDAA itself is not the problem. The NDAA has in fact been around for years. It's basically a bill that grants the US military the power to act if needed and get funding for the next year.The problem is actually some unusual added provisions that came with NDAA for 2012. Specifically, section 1021, AKA the indefinite detention provision. Some have gone so far as to claim that the extra provisions turn the US military into a private/militant police force. The provisions permit the military to indefinitely detain US citizens under suspicion of terrorism. No trial required. And to some, protesting is a minor act of terrorism.This is in violation of the Constitution in MULTIPLE parts. Article I, Section 9, clause 2 of the Constitution says "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Inva

I love how quiet it is here. I never hear my neighbors or screaming kids even during the day. Well, if my wind Read Moreow is open I can hear them at the play area but other than that it is completely peaceful! I work a lot and being able to sleep in peace no matter the time of day is incredible, that is my favorite thing about living here. The parking is less than favorable and the people who live here park like Stevie Wonder but its a small price to pay for the solitude.

The Mobile World Congress event is a vital one for Samsung. Along with the Galaxy S6, we'll be watching for new wearables and a mobile payments system.
On March 9, Apple is widely expected to let us know exactly when its much-anticipated Watch line will ship and how much all the new models will cost. But what other new products might Apple unveil?
In a 3-2 vote, the agency decides to apply the same rules that govern telephone service to broadband, with the hope that it ensures the fair and equal treatment of all traffic on the Internet.
The most important things to know when shopping for a cell phone.
At Mobile World Congress 2015, Samsung unveiled its newest smartphones, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, and they're packing tons of new features. Check out the top moments from the event here.
HTC's latest flagship smartphone has an all-new rear camera, but is that a good thing? We tried an early version out in Barcelona with very mixed results.
Apple likely will show off its high-tech watch next month ahead of the wearable's April release. Other possibilities? An updated Apple TV or an "iPad Pro."
A tech blogger's too-itchy trigger finger has revealed HTC's new flagship phone a day before the firm's press event at Mobile World Congress -- that is, if appearances are to be believed.
The company is widely expected to release the newest version of its marquee metallic smartphone at the Mobile World Congress show. But will there be more?

CNN's dreadful show Crossfire is cancelled. What will Parker Warby spokesmodel S.E. Cupp and staff-banging serial adulterer Newticles do with their spare time?
While we'd like to think that someone at CNN realized that their decision to kill it 10 years ago (thanks Jon Stewart!) was still the right decision, it appears to be a victim of other cost-cutting measures.
The first time it went out with a bang — this time it went out with a whimper; CNN's Crossfire is no more. Again. The show had been missing in action for weeks and already some of its co-hosts — Stephanie Cutter, Newt Gingrich, S.E. Cupp and Van Jones — have been popping up as contributors around the network's landscape. Some staff have been moved to other programs, and the remainder have been encouraged to apply for open positions within the bureau, source say — surprising, given that CNN is in the process of slashing about 300 positions… But today's big CNN headline is the cancellation of Crossfire, which had been exhumed in September of '13, and quickly did not catch on with viewers.
Ooh, that's good and snarky!
Anyway, we are sorry for anyone losing a job these days and so for all the people who worked behind the scenes, we wish you all the luck in the world. Advice: at your next gig, if you see Newticles or Sippy Cupp, run like hell.

Galatasaray players celebrate their victory on Sunday
Ivorian striker Didier Drogba and three other Africans wrapped up a record 19th Turkish Super Lig title for Galatasaray after defeating Sivasspor 4-2 on Sunday.
Drogba's compatriot Emmanuel Eboue, Cameroon's Dany Achille Nounkeu and Moroccan striker Amrabat are all part of the squad that became the first Turkish club to win 19 league titles.
Galatasaray edged ahead of local rivals Fenerbahce (18 titles), while Istanbul's other main club Besiktas are third overall with 13 championships.
Selcuk Inan and Burak Yilmaz both scored braces for Galatasaray as the Istanbul-based club cruised to the victory that sealed the title.
Knowing a win on Sunday would clinch the title with two games remaining, Galatasaray started strongly at home with Yilmaz firing an early effort just wide of the post.
But the home crowd did not have to wait long for the opening goal as Inan curled his free-kick around the wall and into the net from the edg...

The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority will revive its proposal of setting up multilevel vehicle parking facilities in joint venture with various land-owning government departments.
It will soon initiate discussion with the Metropolitan Transport Corporation to explore the possibility of establishing such a facility at the T.Nagar bus terminus.
The total area of the terminus is around 1.5 acre. The multilevel parking facility would be developed without disturbing the bus terminus.
Mecon Limited, a Government of India enterprise, was hired to prepare a feasibility report for developing multilevel car parking complexes at six locations, according to a CMDA brochure brought out four years ago. Land acquisition was scheduled to begin on completion of the study.
The six locations were a strip of land east of Panagal Park, Broadway Bus Stand, MUC Ground near Flower Bazaar, T. Nagar bus terminus, Government Estate on Anna Salai and MTC workshop site on Pattulous Road. The CMDA has now decided to revive some of these projects in consultation with the landowners. The facility at the Broadway bus stand is being taken up by the Chennai Corporation.
The report of the traffic police suggesting that the facility be constructed on the southern side of the bus stand has been accepted.
The facility has 610 ECS (Equivalent Car Space) and would accommodate 500 cars and 660 two wheelers. The retrieval time of a car in this fully automated parking facility at the Broadway bus stand would be just two minutes.

Petco Park
Attendance: 17,121
San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - Ian Stewart smacked the game-winning homer in the top of the 12th inning, as the Colorado Rockies snuck past the San Diego Padres, 6-5, in the rubber match of a three-game series at Petco Park.
Tim Stauffer (2-1), who pitched a perfect 10th and 11th, stayed on for the 12th. But Stewart stepped to the plate and blasted a 2-0 changeup over the wall in left to give the Rockies the lead. Colorado went on to put men on first and second, but Stauffer got out of the inning with just the one run.
Manuel Corpas (1-1) tossed 2 2/3 scoreless frames of relief for the Rockies, who recorded their first road series win of the season. Starter Aaron Cook went five frames, allowing five runs on six hits.
Clint Barmes went 3-for-5 with three runs batted in and a run scored for Colorado, which got an RBI apiece from Seth Smith and Melvin Mora.
Kyle Blanks went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored for the Padres, who went 4-3 on a seven-game homestand. Clayton Richard also knocked in a pair of runs in defeat.
Richard allowed three runs on six hits with five strikeouts and five walks in a five-inning start.
In the 10th, the Padres put runners on first and second with one out. Corpas then took over on the mound and retired the first two batters he faced to keep it a tie game.
The Padres got on the board in the second inning. Chase Headley led off with a single, advanced to second on Will Venable's groundout, and scored on Blanks' double to center.
Colorado plated three runs in the third to go in front. Dexter Fowler singled, Troy Tulowitzki walked, and Carlos Gonzalez singled to load the bases with one out. Mora then walked to force in a run. After Miguel Olivo struck out, Barmes hit a two-run single to left. Mora was thrown out trying to advance to third on the play.
San Diego put a four-spot up in the fourth to take a 5-3 lead. With runners on the corners and one out, Blanks and Jerry Hairston Jr. hit back-to-back RBI singles. Two batters later, Richard helped his own cause with a two-run double to left.
The Rockies, though, fought back with two runs in the sixth. Edward Mujica started the frame on the mound and walked Olivo, who crossed the plate on Barmes' double to right. Pinch-hitter Smith then hit an RBI triple to right to make it a 5-5 game. Mujica retired the next two batters before Joe Thatcher was called on to record the last out.
Neither team put together a serious scoring threat over the final few frames, forcing extras.
