UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
The UWRF Chemistry Department is starting a new chemistry sequence for the first and second years as an alternative to the current two-year general chemistry / organic chemistry sequence. The new sequence is designed to better meet the needs of students in the sciences (Biology, Animal Science, Chemistry, pre-professional tracks) who typically require two years of chemistry. Our objectives in offering this new sequence include increasing student recruitment, retention, and progression in science and technology majors and increasing student learning in chemistry.
The alternative and traditional sequences will be offered in parallel.Concept. The organic first curriculum replaces the current two-semester general and organic chemistry courses with four one-semester courses which cover similar content but in a different order. Each sequence is an entry point for professional schools or for further study in chemistry.
The first two courses will not be the traditional organic courses. Those courses presuppose a thorough grounding in chemical principles. Instead, our first course, Organic Introduction to Chemistry, Chem 130, will use examples from organic chemistry to teach fundamental chemical concepts. The second course, Foundations of Organic Chemistry, will more closely follow traditional organic chemistry ideas but will emphasize chemical properties and the relationship between structure and function instead of organic synthetic methods.
More mathematical and physical concepts now taught in the first year general chemistry course will now be covered in the second year courses, Foundations off Inorganic Chemistry and Foundations of Analytical Chemistry.
Advantages of the organic first curriculum. We anticipate the new sequence will have several advantages for many of the students now taking chemistry. These include:
The material will be more relevant to the majority of students, who are majoring in biological fields.
The material will be a better match for the requirements of the student's majors (the programs whose students we serve).
For well prepared students, the course will not be a repeat of high school chemistry.
For less prepared students, the course will be less reliant on mathematics background and more appropriate for their cognitive developmental levels.
The content is still consistent with professional school requirements.
We hope the course sequence will increase student recruitment, performance, and retention in SMET (science, mathematics, engineering, and technology) fields.
Many students who are now in one- or two-semester chemistry programs may also benefit from the first course or two in this sequence.
Students who might not be a good fit for the organic first curriculum. There are some students who might not benefit from the options afforded by the new curriculum. These include:
Students who plan on transferring to another institution after one year.
Students in fields that require one year or semester of chemistry and require an emphasis on inorganic compounds. These topics will be treated in the third semester of the new curriculum.
We will still teach the traditional curriculum alongside of the organic first curriculum.

...and Linus Torvalds saying NVIDIA is the worst company ever when it comes to interacting with the development of the Linux kernel?
...and this is what the thread is all about?
...and Linux is not a "failure" in terms of market share?
People here care about their desktops. Android is a different platform. The use of the Linux kernel in Android is quite irrelevant to us.
Linus is what the world needs; people who speak the truth however unsexy it would be. Some may say that nvidia is good because they provide a reasonably good binary blob. That is true, but it has nothing to do with Linus's and the kernel developer community's experience with them. They do not care about blobs, they care about how the company works with them, and i have no problem believing that nvidia would be the most arrogant company to work with, just as he tries to points out in his famous style.Aside from Torvalds' NVIDIA remarks near the end, the entire talk is worth watching.
Linus is a Finn, we are kinda introverted people. We focus on the essence of things and strip off the unnecessary sugarcoating of courtesy.
Nobody expects a company to give away their technology, parts of drivers etc. But everybody should expect companies to give the very basic info of how someone would go about to build up support for the hardware. Just as AMD and most other manufacturers do. If they do not, i would go as far as saying it to be anticompetitive measures.
Of course, the average Bonzy-Buddy user who installs malware if it promises cute kittens on the desktop and write replies with their credit card information to Nigerian scammers, he doesn't don't care. And they are the majority.If not then it is silly to 'expect' them to come forward with that information. WYSIWYG and it doesn't seem to hurt their product sales in the least (in fact they actually sell more then their competitor that does provide that information). IMHO, it is unreasonable to expect anything more then what is presented as is in the first place.
So we are where we are. People being forced to use closed-source systems with hardware they own. A microprocessor manufacturer deciding what you can run on your computer.
Well, as long as it has Bonzy Buddy, everything is ok I guess....

In NYC, an arbitrary stretch of road which previously allowed parking, was suddenly changed to no standing any time.

Furthermore, the official response basically told the owners of those cars that if they didn't like the ticket then they can fight it in court.Read more »

Fenway Park, Boston, Massachusetts
W: M. Wacha (1-0)
L: J. Lackey (0-1)
S: T. Rosenthal (1)
BOSTON -- Michael Wacha and his Cardinals bullpen provided the power pitching. Carlos Beltran, injected with a painkiller, came through with a huge hit. And this time, it was the Red Sox who were tripped up by fielding failures.
Wacha bested John Lackey in a matchup of present and past rookie sensations, and St. Louis beat Boston 4-2 on Thursday night to even the World Series at a game apiece.
"Somebody would have to kill me in order for me to get out of the lineup," said Beltran, undeterred by bruised ribs that landed him at the hospital a night earlier.

Matt Holliday tripled and scored on Yadier Molina's fourth-inning grounder, but David Ortiz put Boston ahead 2-1 in the sixth when he pounced on an 85 mph changeup for a two-run homer just over the Green Monster in left field.
That ended Wacha's scoreless streak at 18 2/3 innings -- a rookie record for a single postseason -- but it was all he gave up. Selected by St. Louis last year with the first-round draft pick received as compensation when Albert Pujols signed with the Los Angeles Angels, Wacha has been so good lately that a St. Louis restaurant he walked into had named a milkshake after him, the "Wacha Wacha."
The 22-year-old right-hander, the National League Championship Series MVP after beating Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw twice, threw a career-high 114 pitches and allowed two runs, three hits and four walks in six innings with six strikeouts. He improved to 4-0 with a 1.00 ERA in four outings this postseason, matching the amount of regular-season wins he has in his brief career.
"They don't swing at bad pitches, really," Wacha said. "They did a good job tonight grinding out at-bats with me and got the pitch count up."
Wacha's parents and sister made the trip from Texarkana, Texas, and sat bundled in cold-weather clothes in the stands to watch the 19th pick in last year's amateur draft.
"He pitched outstanding," Molina said. "Just one pitch, to a great hitter like 'Big Papi.'"
But then Lackey, who in 2002 with the Angels became the first rookie in 93 years to win a World Series seventh game, faltered in a three-run seventh. St. Louis went ahead when Matt Carpenter hit a sacrifice fly that led to a pair of runs, with the second scoring on errors by catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia and reliever Craig Breslow -- both making their Series debuts.
Beltran, an eight-time All-Star making his first Series appearance at age 36, followed with an RBI single. He had been sent to a hospital for scans Wednesday night after bruising his ribs while banging into the right-field fence to rob Ortiz of a grand slam. Beltran appeared to be wearing protective padding under his jersey.
"When I left the ballpark yesterday, I had very little hope that I was going to be in the lineup with the way I felt," he said. "When I woke up, I woke up feeling a little better. And I came to the ballpark, talked to the trainer. I was able to get treatment and talk to the doctors, and find a way to try anything I could try just to go out there and feel no pain."
He said he took an injection of Toradol to block the pain for five or six hours.
"The good thing is tomorrow I have the day off," he said.
When the Series resumes Saturday night in St. Louis, Jake Peavy starts for the Red Sox and Joe Kelly for the Cardinals. Twenty-nine of the previous 55 teams that won Game 2 to tie the Series went on to take the title.
"Excited to get home. I know everybody is," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said.
St. Louis' hard-throwing bullpen combined for one-hit relief. Carlos Martinez got six outs, retiring Mike Napoli on an inning-ending popup with two on in the eighth. Trevor Rosenthal struck out the side on 11 pitches in the ninth for a save, whiffing Daniel Nava with a 99 mph fastball to end it.

Rookie Michael Wacha improved to 4-0 in October as the Cardinals beat the Red Sox 4-2 on Thursday night to level the World Series.
All three St. Louis pitchers were 23 or younger.
"It doesn't surprise me. Those guys got talent," Molina said. "Like I said before many times, they're not afraid to pitch."
Seeking its second championship in three seasons, St. Louis improved to 7-0 this postseason when scoring first and stopped Boston's World Series winning streak at nine games. That run began with a sweep of the Cardinals in 2004, when St. Louis never led in the Series.
This year's opener was more of the same, with the Cardinals making three errors and the Red Sox romping 8-1.
Lackey, pitching a day after his 35th birthday, returned this year after missing all of 2012 due to elbow surgery and beat Cy Young Award winners David Price and Justin Verlander in the American League playoffs. In his first Series appearance since his Game 7 win 11 years earlier, he couldn't hold the lead Ortiz gave him with his 17th postseason homer, his fifth this year.
David Freese walked with one out in the seventh, and Jon Jay singled. Breslow relieved, and the Cardinals pulled off a double steal as pinch runner Pete Kozma swiped third -- an uncharacteristically aggressive move for the Cardinals, who ranked last in the NL with 45 stolen bases this season.
Daniel Descalso, who started at shortstop after Kozma made two errors in the opener, loaded the bases with a walk. Carpenter followed with a fly to medium left, and Jonny Gomes' throw home was slightly to the first-base side of the plate as Kozma scored the tying run.
The ball glanced off Saltalamacchia's mitt as Jay took off for third. Breslow smartly backed up the plate -- he's likely the first major leaguer holding a degree from Yale with a major in molecular biophysics and biochemistry -- but he was slow to throw to third. And when he did let loose, the ball sailed over shortstop Stephen Drew covering the base and bounced into the stands.
SportsNation: World Series tied 1-all
The Cardinals used a three-run seventh to top the Sox and knot the World Series. Who will go on to win it? Vote »
"It just kind of sailed on me," Breslow said. "I've made a throw of that distance before."
Jay came home with the go-ahead run, and Descalso raced to third.
"We're human. It happens," Saltalamacchia said. "We saw them do the same thing last night. They shook it off and came out tonight and played well. That's what we're going to do."
Beltran singled to right for a two-run lead. With a bullpen that's held opponents to a .169 average in the postseason, that was enough.
"We've got to go out there and play better than we did tonight," Ortiz said. "Nobody can dictate that you're going to win four straight games every time you go out there for the World Series."
NOTES: The Red Sox had not lost in the Series since Game 7 in 1986 against the New York Mets. ... With no designated hitter allowed in the NL ballpark, Boston manager John Farrell said Ortiz likely will play first base in Game 3. Napoli would sit. ... Victims of the Boston Marathon bombings were honored during the seventh-inning stretch as singer James Taylor led the crowd in "America the Beautiful."

The answer is to wait for Mint 14, which should be out shortly after Ubuntu 12.10. Especially with the Cinnamon UI.
Phoronix: Canonical Comments On The Unity 2D Defenestration
Jason Warner, the Ubuntu Desktop Manager at Canonical, acknowledges that dropping Unity 2D and going with Unity-Over-LLVMpipe may lead to some regressions and that some users will want to stick to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or switch to another desktop environment...
The answer is to wait for Mint 14, which should be out shortly after Ubuntu 12.10. Especially with the Cinnamon UI.
I find it impressive that he recommends alternative desktops, admitting that unity is not a fit-them-all solution.
Hoping for LLVMpipe to pick up the slack / iron out the issues is wishful thinking. Unity 3D will simply not be usable without hardware acceleration on the low end of the spectrum. On Ivy Bridge / Haswell and later, it'll work fine, but on systems that don't support GL2 because the hardware doesn't, you aren't going to get good performance, period.
When Ubuntu adopts Wayland, are they finally going to get rid of Compiz?
LLVMpipe only works decently on modern CPUs.
All modern CPUs now have built-in GPUs too.
So whats the point of Unity over LLVMpipe?
It won't benefit users with modern CPU since they already have a GPU, and it wont benefit users of older CPUs because LLVMpipe don't work good without AVX and new stuff from modern CPUs.
What about when hardware-accelerated rendering does not work, it falls back to a limited Unity where certain graphical features are removed, such as shadows?
"systems with decently modern CPU architectures and non-GPU accelerated hardware should be able to run Unity"
Which exactly are those? Pentium 4/Pentium M definitely not. It's too old and doesn't provide proper GPU, let alone CPU acceleration. Core Duo neither. It's too modern and pretty capable for hardware GPU acceleration. The same can be said about contemporary AMD offers. So what CPUs is he talking about?

I bought this table cloth because it was alot of high quality fabric for a low price. I cut up the table cloth and made five pillowcases out of it. It as easy to cut and sew on. The pillowcases wash and dry easily and look great on my bed.

For several years I was unable to afford beautiful table cloths like these, My dining room is traditional Queen Ann/French Provencial. These in all the colors I ordered are elegant, rich looking, and perfect for this more formal room. Oh, the colors I ordere: burgundy, light blue, light green, yellow. If you need quality damask table cloths now is the time to snatch these up at these prices...well, I bet they are out of stock soon.

These table covers are beautiful and hang quite evenly; however, one of them had some sort of stain on the bottom that looked like yellow paint. I am in the process of re-doing my houae and did not want to return the item and wait for another so I put it in the back where no one can see it. For price, Quality should have been better.

Rhubarb Sour Cream Pie
While I was looking for rhubarb recipes I came a cross a really interesting one for a rhubarb sour cream pie. I had never had a pie that used sour cream as its base filling but it sounded nice and I wanted to try it. I also liked the fact that the pie had a crumb topping as you can never go wrong with crumbs! This rhubarb sour cream pie was really easy to make and the results are certainly worth it! The sour cream filling was nice and sweet and oh so creamy and good! The sweetness of the creamy pie filling was interupted by pockets of tart rhubarb which ended up balancing out nicely. The buttery pie crust added a nice light, crispy and flaky texture which also went well with the creamy filling. I have a feeling that I will be making this wonderfully creamy sour cream rhubarb pie at least once each year while the rhubarb is in season!
Rhubarb Sour Cream Pie(makes 6+ servings)
Printable Recipe
1 pie crust
1 egg
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup sour cream (feel free to use a low fat one)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter (melted)
1. Mix the egg, sugar, sour cream and 1/3 cup of flour until smooth.
2. Mix in the rhubarb.
3. Pour the mixture into the pie crust.
4. Mix the flour, brown sugar and butter until crumbly.
5. Sprinkle the crumbs over the pie.
6. Bake in a preheated 350F oven until the edges have puffed, about 45-60 minutes.

Neopets Overview
If you haven't played Neopets yet, you're missing out. It's one of the most detailed and content rich free MMO browser games out there. Neopets is set in the virtual world of Neopia where players can do anything from raising their own virtual pet to battling others. Join a guild and make friends or simply play some of the games 150+ original flash games. Theres something for everyone in Neopets. Just a heads up though, the game is intended for a younger audieence, so the childish themes may be a turn off for some gamers. Personally, I think it's a solid browser based MMO with a large community which makes it well worth trying.

Neopets Full Review
By Omer Altay
Perhaps calling it an 'MMO' is a bit of a stretch but the game is massively multiplayer and has a large online game world, the only thing it's really missing is a real time persistent world, but it's still has enough MMO like featured for it to be labeled a browser based MMO. The one thing I'd like to point out right away though is that the game is aimed at a younger audience, so that may be a turn off for some older games. Neopets was actually one of the first browser based games I've ever played and it's still around today, bigger and better than it was when I first played it years ago. It's actually the first major 'virtual pet' and its enormous success has led to the launch of many new and similar sites, but I encourage gamers to avoid those copycat sites as they don't have nearly as much content as the
Welcome to Neopia
Neopets is a 'pet raising' MMO that is set in the virtual world of Neopeia where players pick a pet, also called a 'Neopet', to raise and care for. These virtual pets can level up, train and even fight each other in the game's 'battle dome'. Each Neopet has four basic 'stats', they're Level, Speed, Strength, Defence and Intelligence. Each advances indpendently from the rest; players gain levels by exchanging mystical stones called 'codestones' at the game's training facility while the games other stats increase during chance events. Battling though is only a small aspect of the game though, as Neopets offers a lot more to do than just battling. I would actually argue that the game's social aspects and virtual economy are more engaging than the 'pet raising' / 'battling' components of the game.
It's the Economy, Stupid!
What makes Neopets so enjoyable is that there are literally tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of unique items in the game that players can purchase for their pets or even collect. Items range from weapons to food to rare collectible gems. Players can earn money, or neopoints, through numerous methods, but the easiest way to do so is to play the flash games on the website. Neopets offers well over 150 high quality flash games and the higher the score a player gets the more neopoints they earn. Each game can be played an unlimited amount of times, but players can only 'send in their score' for neopoints only three times a day per game. What I like about this system is that it rewards players based on skill. The better the player, the more in game money he or she earns.
Another aspect of Neopets, which I believe is the most impressive, is the games massive virtual economy. Players can trade items in the trading post, play the virtual stock market, start their own store, bid in the game's auction house and so much more. The game's bank even gives interest, so those that save their neopoints can get a hefty return in interest just by putting their money in the bank. Neopets just has so much to do that just trying to list everything would be incredibly difficult. The game's 'social' aspect alone trumps that of most standalone social MMOs like Habbo, Gaia Online and OZ World as the size of the community in Neopets is simply enormous. Just about every corner of the game's community is incredibly active from the forums to individual 'guilds'.
There's no place like Neohome
One incredibly interesting feature in Neopets is the game's player housing. All players start off with a basic house in 1 of 19 in game regions from the fiery lost desert to the mystical faerieland . Each house can be customized to the players tastes, and with thousands of different kinds of furniture and house décor, the sheer number of possible home designs is nearly limitless. The folks running Neopets features the best looking home every week on the homepage, so people that are into customizing their own virtual home will certainly enjoy this part of Neopets.
Final Verdict – Great
The fact is, even though Neopets is aimed at a younger audience, it's still one of the best MMO browser games out there. The sheer amount of content is mind boggling and the community is enormous. Neopets is certainly worth checking out.

text: Generally speaking, if you have 2-3 small minor low population/low value areas next to one another, it's best to make one decent province instead of 3 junk provinces. The game devides your money spent by how many provinces you have to determine how much you actually put into research. Additionally, I'd rather have 1 province capaple of holding a stack of 15 troops without attrition than 3 that only hold 5-6 each. I understand everyone thinks more is better, but that's not always the case.

Is Black Friday the best day to shop for bargains? It is for some items, but not everything. If you do your homework, you can save a bundle.
LIVE CHAT: Get Black Friday tips from a pro! Chat with Herb Weisbaum today at 12:30 p.m. ET
"Some of the deals are shockingly good," said Edgar Dworsky, founder of ConsumerWorld.org, who's been analyzing Black Friday deals since 2004.
A few examples of some unbeatable Black Friday savings:
But Dworsky cautions that only a few of the items advertised in the Black Friday circulars are what would be considered true door busters. And in many cases, those are limited to just a few per store.
"Sears, for example, now has hundreds of door busters. Believe me, they're not all great deals," Dworsky told me. "But if you're careful and you compare prices ahead of time, you'll be able to recognize which are the bona fide door busters where you're saving 50 percent."
Who has the best deals? Jon Vincent at BlackFriday.com picks Wal-Mart, Kohl's and Best Buy. He calls the Black Friday ads for Target a disappointment. Dworsky agrees.
"In the past, Target has been very good," he said. "This year Target is not so good, except for an Xbox 360 with Kinect for $199."
How to snag the deals you want
You need a plan to be a successful Black Friday shopper. Consumer World put together a list of tips to bag a bargain on Black Friday.
Here's how to start:
What about something you want that's not on sale Black Friday?
"We recommend waiting until Cyber Monday because sometimes there will be a coupon you can use online," said Vincent at BlackFriday.com. "If not, just check the weekly circulars and see if the item is put on sale before Christmas."

Crankshaft and camshaft position sensors can leak oil into the connector causing Check Engine Light illumination. The engine may also stall as a result. Leaking sensors should be replaced.

Check Engine Light and/or Engine Stall
Fuel Pressure Regulator May Bleed Off Pressure Overnight
If the vehicle is hard to start after setting overnight, the problem could be the fuel pressure regulator has failed and is allowing the fuel pressure to bleed off. A failed fuel pressure regulator will should be replaced.
Internal Engine Damage Caused by Screws From Intake Manifold
Screws inside the intake manifold can become loose causing internal engine damage if they fall out completely. Our technicians report that using a strong thread locker on the power valve butterfly screws can help prevent them from becoming loose.
Check Engine Light Due to Catalytic Converter Failure
The catalytic converter closest to the cylinder head can fail causing illumination of the Check Engine Light. Prompt repair of this problem is recommended because the catalyst material can be sucked into the engine and cause internal damage.
Check Engine Light/Loss of Power Due to Throttle Body Failure
The electronic throttle actuator (throttle body) can fail causing a loss of power and illumination of the Check Engine Light.

The Shambhala group in my town has a large Kagyu refuge tree hanging in their shrine room. If a student wants to do ngondro (granted most don't) they do Kagyu ngondro. True there are no pictures of the 17th Karmapa but there are many of Trungpa and the 16th together. Their teacher is very upfront about the fact they are part of Karma Kagyu. Sure it is not traditional but to say they no longer Kagyu is surely overstating the reality.

Heart of the Hide®
The world-renowned Rawlings Heart of the Hide series originated in 1958 and still represents one of the finest glove lines in baseball today. Handcrafted from the top 5-percent of steer hides, Heart of the Hide leather tends to be the prime cut or center portion of the smaller hide and is usually thicker and more durable than other leathers, resulting in a firm glove that is easier to shape. The top-grade leather will allow the glove to mold to the player's hand for a proper feel while maintaining the durability needed to play at the highest level.

Date(s) - Thursday, November 15th, 2012 - Friday, November 16th, 2012
Taking photographs at night presents unique challenges. Exposure times must be very long, so hand-holding the camera is out of the question. However, with a steady place to rest the camera (which need not be a tripod), and a long exposure, the light gathering ability of your camera can greatly exceed the human eye, allowing you to capture a shot of something you could not normally see, such as a forest at night, a faraway galaxy, or even a rainbow cast by moonlight. Don't miss this exclusive opportunity to walk the Garden of Lights with Photographer Ken Knight and learn how to photograph low light subjects including NBG's Holiday light display.
This is a two night workshop, Thursday Nov. 15th & Fri. Nov. 16th
Pre-registration is required.
Norfolk Botanical Garden
Ticket Orders are closed for this event. Please call 757-441-5830 x 338 for assistance.

More companies reveal details of their political spending
Blog Entry:
April 25, 2013 1:52 PM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Investor groups "have pushed more than 120 public companies in the U.S. to reveal previously confidential details of their political spending," Bloomberg
, and
is among the companies giving the groups at least some of what they want.
"Thirty-one companies — up from 28 last year — will hold shareholder votes in 2013 on resolutions calling for disclosure of how much they spend to influence politics," the news services says, citing data from the Center for Political Accountability, which helped write the resolutions.
The first of those votes, at Humana Inc.'s annual meeting, is scheduled for today.
An additional 16 companies, including Key, "have agreed to provide investors with data on their political spending this year in an effort to avoid shareholder votes mandating the disclosures," according to Bloomberg.
The story notes that state pension funds and activist investors "are increasingly using their sway as shareholders to dislodge details about corporate political funds even if it is not required by law." The disclosures include so-called "dark money" provided to trade groups and third parties that aren't required to identify their donors.
"This private ordering is making good progress," Anne Sheehan, director of corporate governance at the California State Teachers' Retirement System, the second-largest government pension fund in the United States by total assets, tells Bloomberg. "Some have done a very good job of disclosure."
If you're eating right now, stop before you read
"Thousands of heart attack victims every year have none of the notorious risk factors before their crisis — not high cholesterol, not unhealthy triglycerides," according to Reuters. "Now the search for the mystery culprits has turned up some surprising suspects: the trillions of bacteria and other microbes living in the human gut."
Scientists have discovered that some of the bugs turn lecithin — a nutrient in egg yolks, liver, beef, pork and wheat germ — into an artery-clogging compound called TMAO, according to the news service.
They also found that blood levels of TMAO predict heart attack, stroke or death, and do so "independent of other risk factors," says Dr. Stanley Hazen, chairman of cellular and molecular medicine at the
Cleveland Clinic's Lerner Research Institute
, who led the study.
That suggests a TMAO test could enter the arsenal of blood tests that signal possible cardiovascular problems ahead.
"TMAO might identify people who are at risk (for heart attacks and strokes) despite having no other risk factors," Dr. Hazen tells Reuters.
The discovery "also suggests a new approach to preventing these cardiovascular events: altering gut bacteria so they churn out less TMAO," according to the story.
Dr. Hazen is on a roll of late. He recently received much attention for
a study
on a substance called carnitine, found in red meat, that clogs the arteries.
that proxy advisory firm Glass Lewis said shareholders of Canton-based
Timken Co.
should vote in favor of a non-binding proposal to break up the company's ball bearings and steel businesses.
Glass Lewis "was the second major proxy advisory firm to back the proposal," Reuters says. Institutional Shareholder Services made a similar recommendation earlier in the week.
The breakup was proposed by activist hedge fund Relational Investors and the California State Teachers' Retirement System. Timken management opposes a split; the United Steel Workers union has sided with management on the issue.
Glass Lewis said in its report that "shareholders would strongly benefit from a more thorough review of this potential strategic alternative. The incumbent board has displayed, in our view, a clear and troubling track record of responsiveness to shareholder concern and, perhaps of greater note here, has strongly expressed its intention to pursue the status quo."
Democrats and Republicans in Congress
seem receptive
to a push from the manufactured-housing industry to roll back a portion of the Dodd-Frank law, arguing the provision — set to take effect next year — will crimp demand for prebuilt homes, hurting lenders, builders and owners.
The Wall Street Journal
At issue is a provision of Dodd-Frank that aims to combat predatory lending. Loans with rates and fees above certain thresholds are supposed to be designated "high cost" by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and thus subject to fewer legal protections.
The bureau earlier this year decided to call loans high cost if they have an annual percentage rate of more than 6.5 percentage points above a national average and 8.5 percentage points for many loans under $50,000.
Lenders to manufactured-home buyers say many of their loans would fall into the high-cost category with this regulation, which goes into effect in January. They warn that they won't make such loans because they carry increased legal risk.
House lawmakers plan to introduce legislation that would designate fewer loans as high-cost, the newspaper says, and Sen.
Sherrod Brown
, D-Avon, is working on similar legislation to be introduced in coming weeks.
Sen. Brown tells
The Journal
in a statement that manufactured homes "represent a different product, with a different consumer base" than loans for traditional homes, and that his legislation would "bring regulations for manufactured housing in line with their place in the market."
Cleveland Hopkins International Airport
wins a little praise in
this MarketWatch.com feature
about airports that do a good job helping flyers pass the time during flight delays.
In a section on fitness, the website has this to say:
Work out the frustration of a delayed flight with a turn at the speed bag or a soothing asana. San Francisco International and Dallas–Fort Worth International are among the airports offering free yoga classes, while Minneapolis-St. Paul International and Cleveland Hopkins International offer walking paths. Others, including O'Hare International in Chicago and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County, offer day passes to the fitness facilities at on-site airport hotels (a Hilton and Westin, respectively) for under $20.
Other airports have features including aquariums, casinos, nap rooms and movie theaters.

Gallery: Award-Winning Solar-Powered Casa Locarno in Switzerland Stores...
Casa Locarno doesn't use any conventional energy at all. Instead, all of its power is generated by rooftop solar panels and underfloor heating. What energy is not used immediately is stored in a 1,050 gallon water tank in the basement. And during winter, when it's cloudy, additional energy can be captured through a heat exchange system linked up to the cozy indoor fireplace. Naturally lit and insulated up the wahoo, this home is the quintessential sustainable Swiss villa.

This seems inspiring. But there's not enough about how it works to take me to this solution when I remake my house in 3 years. I need to know:
[1] how the tub stores the energy.
[2] how these few solar panels collect enough energy in Switzerland. I would assume that, living in Israel, I should be able to do it far easier.
[3] what insulation materials were used. I plan on using bales of hay for the entire perimeter of my house.
[4] how installed the heat exchange system works.
[5] how the underfloor heating system can be powered by so little solar energy.
[6] how the roof agriculture is so thin, yet helps in a major way.
In any case, power to them. It is both beautiful and an inspiration.
