About.com: TomTom GO 740 Live Review: State of the Art in Connected Car GPS
May 11 2009 -
In his 4/5 star review of the new TomTom GO 740 LIVE connected car GPS, Fred Zahradnik of About.com notes that "The race is on to add connected services such as local search, accurate real-time traffic detection and avoidance, fuel prices, more frequent map updates, and more to in-car portable GPS devices." After using the GO 740 LIVE, he calls out the connected GPS's "network effect" traffic services, updated every 2 minutes, as well as its "best-in-class windshield mount."

Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman on Making Smarter Decisions
The bestselling author of Thinking, Fast and Slow talks about overcoming the cognitive biases and errors that can affect decision-making.
Decisions You can avoid decision-making mistakes by understanding the differences between these two systems of thought.
Loss Aversion Nobel winner Daniel Kahneman says we tyically fear loss twice as much as we relish success. That's why it's so hard to take a risk
Overconfidence Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman says people always overestimate their ability to predict the future. He puts his faith instead in...algorithms.
Faith Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman says that if you rationally weighed the odds of success, you'd never start a business. Thank goodness for irrationality.
Outliers Don't let especially lucky or unlucky outliers influence your decisions.
Prediction You're likely to give more weight to experience than hard data, even when the past is unlikely to predict the future.
Negotiation You can gain the upper hand in negotiations by setting--or resetting--the anchor number.
Stories Be wary of constructing a story based only on what you see--you may not realize what you don't know.
Luck Telling stories that are 'better than reality' can trick you into looking for impossibly easy recipes for success.
Framing What's worse: A disease with 90% survival or one with 10% mortality? (Even doctors get that wrong.) The Nobel winner on how "framing" fools everyone.
LOSS AVERSION Your Irrational Fear of Loss and How it Messes With Your Decisions5:04
OVERCONFIDENCE Always Trust Your Numbers. Never Trust Your Gut4:27
FAITH Nobel Winner: Key Trait of Entrepreneurs Is 'Delusional Optimism'4:17

Internal:Aggeliki weekly agenda
From Brown University Robotics
Agenda: 08-03-2010
ICRA '11 paper
Looking at the literature of multirobot deployment/coverage, I saw that most of the people so far have been concerned with defining where the robots should be deployed or deploy robots incrementally ([1]). They were not concerned with what happens after the initial deployment when one or more nodes in the network fail. I was also particularly interested in the papers that deal with fault-tolerant deployment/coverage by ensuring properties like biconnectivity or each robot having at least K neighbors ([2]) etc. So, my plan is to take these two principles one step further and do dynamic fault-tolerant deployment. That means maintain the connectivity properties for fault-tolerant networks, but also have the multirobot system adjust to changes on the status of the robots (e.g. when a robot fails) or changes to the network that are caused when a human controls one or more robots in the system. Ahmadi et al. [3] have worked on a similar direction. Our difference is that when a new robot comes, they estimate the position where this robot should be deployed. In our case, the releop'ed robot is put in a fixed location and then the rest of the network has to adjust itself. With that said, the experiments I'm considering for the final paper are the following:

Meshnet Project
Enhanced last week's demo: the mobile robot performs 15 queries to BATMAN regarding the number of received packets and estimates an average, moves forward/backward based on the previous average signal, stops to get new measurements etc.
Demo video: robot starting from distance greater than x in order to achieve distance x with the static node is shown here (I had problems with xvidcap to capture the screen for around 5 min. We will see a video of what the robot displays on its screen ([15]) and another video ([16]) of where it moves side by side)
Conclusion: Using the packet loss rate for bringing 2 robots (1 static, 1 mobile) in max distance while remaining in range is problematic.
Percentage of received packets is big and almost constant up to a radius x around the static robot. Beyond distance x, the percentage of received packets decreases exponentially with distance (also documented here: [17]). In practice, that means that starting from distance greater than x, we can achieve distance x with the static robot. Starting from a distance less than x, we cannot find the shortest way to achieve distance x considering only the number of received packets (but, we can have the robot move always forward till it crosses the x-radius circle around the static node).
Need to work with the wireless signal strength that provides greater granularity in the measurements. That may be also a good idea given that BATMAN is slow ([18]) at updating link qualities for highly mobile nodes
Tried wireless chipset Medialink MWN-USB54G that is detected as a RaLink Technology RT2501USB wireless adapter and it is supposed to work according to [19], but in practice the wireless statistics functionality is not implemented for ad-hoc links.

Lions coach Eugene Eloff is missing just one player from the team that went down bravely to the Sharks at the weekend.
Jorrie Muller, the former Springbok utility back, popped his shoulder and may have to have an operation. It is the only casualty from the Lions 33-22 loss to the Sharks in Durban on Friday night.
Although it was a defeat, many in the Lions camp feel it is a step in the right direction. But a victory is urgently needed otherwise another slide could start as was witnessed in the Super 14.
"Jorrie is definitely out for a couple of weeks, but it could be longer if he has to undergo surgery, which is a possibility," Lions captain Wikus van Heerden told keo.co.za.
The Lions face a wounded Blue Bulls outfit at Ellis Park on Saturday with both teams desperate for a good display. Although the Bulls won in the first round, the manner of their 18-16 victory at home over the Valke left much to be desired.
"They will be keen to put the record straight after coming in for some criticism after that game (against the Valke), but we are training hard and the game will be at Ellis Park, which is to our advantage."
After facing one of the competition favourites in round one, the Lions take on their trans-Jukskei rivals on Saturday. That will be followed by a trip to Bloemfontein to meet the defending champions and then they host the impressive Valke on July 14.

What's a church?
Is it volunteers gathering monthly at a Santa Ana Laundromat to provide free laundry to street people?
How about a fair-trade coffee house in suburban Sacramento that dedicates its profits to ending sexual trafficking?
Or is it twice-monthly forays into the nighttime streets of downtown San Diego to hand out food and toiletries to homeless teens?
For Christians, this question—what is a church?—is becoming increasingly urgent.
Polls show American Christianity approaching a difficult crossroads. Church attendance is declining. The number of Americans claiming no religious affiliation is rising. Young peoples' view of Christianity has never been more negative.
At the same time, Christians who do go to church, especially younger Christians, crave a more serious faith with renewed emphasis on social justice. Many are turned off by Christian involvement in politics and preoccupation with sexual morality.
The old way of doing church—gather in a building, sing songs, listen to a sermon, send the kids to Sunday school—doesn't appear sustainable.
But what's next?
Enter Spencer Burke.
Burke, 54, from Newport Beach, is a onetime megachurch pastor who became one of America's most prominent critics of establishment Christianity. For 15 years Burke has been at the forefront of a nationwide movement of Christians disenchanted with what Burke called church leaders' "spiritual McCarthyism."
This month, though, alarmed that many of his warnings about Christianity's loss of cultural authority appear to be coming true, Burke is hanging up his critic's hat.
He's shutting down the website that made him famous—a blog called theooze.com that became a hub for thousands of like-minded church critics—and starting a new venture, an online social community highlighting promising new ways of reaching an increasingly non-Christian America.
Laundry Love in Santa Ana, Origin Coffee and Tea in suburban Sacramento and Urban Street Angels in San Diego are among the numerous unorthodox Christian communities Burke spotlights at Mission Soulutions, his new website slated to launch Jan. 20.
Other featured ventures include a culinary school for low-income people in Atlanta and a group of volunteers who hang out with the homeless in Portland.

|Breaking news
The Governor of the State of Hawaii, also called Ke Kiaaina o Hawaii, is an elected Constitutional officer, the head of the Executive branch, and the highest state office in Hawaii.
It is a directly elected position, votes being cast by popular suffrage of residents of the state. The governor of Hawaii is elected by a plurality and limited to two four-year terms.
Current officer
The 7th and current governor of Hawaii is Democrat Neil Abercrombie, elected in November 2010 and sworn in on December 6, 2010.
His wife, Nancie Caraway, is the First Lady of Hawaii.
The state Constitution addresses the office of the governor in Article V, the Executive Department.
Under Article V, Section II:
The executive power of the State shall be vested in a governor.
Hawaii elects governors in the midterm elections, that is, even years that are not Presidential election years. For Hawaii, 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018 are all gubernatorial election years.
Hawaii's Governor is not only the youngest chief executive's office in the United States, by date, it is tied with Alaska as the earliest inaugural date in the nation. Legally, the inauguration is always held at noon on the first Monday in December following an election. Thus, December 6, 2010 and December 1, 2014 are inaugural days.
Article V, Section 4 speaks to gubernatorial vacancies.
The Lieutenant Governor of Hawaii becomes acting governor upon the governor's absence from the state or disability from discharging duties, either temporarily or permanently.
Unlike all but two other states in the Union (Tennessee and New Jersey), Hawaii has only one elected statewide officer in the Governor of Hawaii. Also, the Governor of Hawaii has wide-reaching authority comparably stronger than the other governors in the Union; administrative powers are more centralized than that of most other states with little authority devolved to the county, and unlike other states there are no local school districts.
It is because of this central authority that the Governor of Hawaii is locally considered one of the most powerful governors in the United States. The governorship of Hawaii has often been characterized by the Honolulu Advertiser, Honolulu Star-Bulletin and various other local media as an "elected monarchy" referring to the most current governors as "King Ben" and "Queen Linda" in headlines during their tenures. Included within the governor's sphere of jurisdiction is the power to appoint all judges of the various courts within the Hawaii judicial system, subject to Senatorial approval.
The governor is responsible for enforcing laws passed by the Hawaii State Legislature and upholding rulings of the Hawaii State Judiciary. The role includes being commander-in-chief of the armed forces of Hawaii and having the power to use those forces to execute laws, suppress insurrection and violence and repel invasion. The Hawaiian Governor is the chief executive of the State of Hawaii and its various agencies and departments, as provided in the Hawaii State Constitution Article V, Sections 1 through 6.
The State of Hawaii does not have fixed cabinet positions and departments. By law, the Governor of Hawaii has the power to create his or her cabinet and departments as needed as long as the executive department is composed of no more than twenty bodies and cabinet members. The Governor of Hawaii is also empowered to remove cabinet officers at will, with the exception of the Attorney General of Hawaii, who must be removed by an act of the Hawaii State Senate.
Other duties and privileges of the office include:
- Issuing pardons, reprieves, commutations, and forgiving fines and forfeitures. With legislative approval, the governor may also grants pardons for impeachment and restore civil rights suspended subsequent to a conviction from another state.
- Appointing an Administrative Director who serves at the Governor's pleasure.
A governor is:
- required to be at least 30 years old,
- required to have been a resident of Hawaii for five consecutive years previous to election,
- barred from other professions or paid positions during the term.
At one point, the Hawaiian Constitution dealt directly with the compensation of both the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor. However, Article V, Section 3 was repealed by HB 1917 (2006) and the election held Nov 7, 2006.
As of 2010, the Governor of Hawaii is paid $117,312 a year.

Carlee Allen's curator insight, May 17, 12:12 PM
This article talks about how city market farms are producing about 20% of the world's food. It talks about how most produce now selling in grocery stores is from urban farms, and urban farms are now feeding 800 million people in the world. The article also mentions how developing countries are mostly participating in subsistence, but most Americans are participating in commercial agriculture, or farming for capital.
I found it very interesting that urban farms are now participating in feeding the world, and not just rural farms. I didn't ever realize that urban farms produced that much fruit and vegetables to help feed the rest of the world, and I find it very interesting that everyone is helping fight hunger!
Ana C. Day's curator insight, May 9, 3:30 AM
Imagine if you could turn your trash into food. Imagine you can do this in just 2 weeks. This is the beautiful reality of black soldier fly larvae. These are potentially one of the greatest economical and sustainable replacements for traditional fishmeal, poultry meal, and soybean meal being fed to our livestock.
What makes black soldier fly larvae so unusual? The adults don't eat. For that reason, the larvae are very large, containing over 80% protein and oils to support the life cycle of the adult fly (which lasts about 7 days).
At Enterra, they operate according to the philosophy of "renewable food for animals and plants." They maintain a sustainable production process by feeding the larvae of the black soldier fly food waste — vegetables, fruits, and grain — that would otherwise wind up in landfills and waste facilities. Sourcing from local food processors, food packagers, grocery chains, farms, public markets, and microbreweries, Enterra has devised a method of production where nothing is wasted: all incoming food stuff is mashed into a slurry for the larvae to feed on; once the larvae have reached maturation (a short 14 days later), the larvae and larvae "poop" is separated. The larvae is washed, cooked and dried, and the residual byproduct of the feed is sold as a soil amendment. Better yet, the dried larvae are made up of 40% protein, 40% fat, and the rest carbohydrates and chitin. This makes black soldier fly larvae a great substitute for more resource-intensive livestock feeds traditionally used.

Looks like it is the other way around there.
Up in Saline, Michigan
Mark Hildebrandt developed a fondness for solar energy back in the 1970s. Over the years, it became his vocation. So, it's fitting that he counts on the sun to charge his Chevrolet Volt, right? Hildebrandt, owner of Sunventrix Solar in Saline, MI, says that:
I made the switch to renewable energy a while ago, and thus with solar energy, I can power my house, charge my Volt and pump energy back into the grid, which I get credit for. As more Volts are sold, I believe the demand for solar charging stations will increase. I have spoken to a handful of Volt owners in Michigan that are really interested in charging their Volts from solar energy.
Hildebrandt is not the only one that's harnessing the sun's energy to charge his Volt. ZD Wines' chief executive officer, Robert deLeuze, has counted on the sun to power his California-based winery since 2007. Now, deLeuza's Volt is often plugged into the winery's photovoltaic system. DeLeuza's claims that:
Solar power generation makes sense, and I think the Volt will help generate more interest in home installations. ZD Wines has had a solar power station for the past three years and purchasing my Volt was a driving factor in installing a solar photovoltaic system at my house.
Of course, even General Motors relies on the power of the sun to charge Volts at the Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant before the vehicles are hauled away to dealerships.
Shouldn't one worry about Bad Gas?DiPisa said he was given the car with eight gallons of gas in December and still has four in the tank.
it's all been built in to the programs.
If you don't burn enough of it, the car takes over and burns the gas before it goes stale
http://www.plugincars.com/putting-th...olt-69473.htmlThe Volts computer system is monitoring this activitykeeping track when the gas door opens and closes, how much time has passed, and how many EV miles youve driven since the gas engine was last called into action. If you open the gas door, but dont put in any gas, the Volt knows. The cars system is double-checking to make sure that new fuel has been added, because old stale gasoline is potentially bad for the system and bad for emissions. An outside temperature sensor is even keeping track of hot days to determine if the fuel might be cooking.
If you havent burned fuel for a while, the dashboard display will encourage you to burn some gas, by driving the vehicle beyond its 40 miles battery-supplied power. You can ignore the call to action, but after two warnings about the need to drive using some gasoline, the car will take matters into its own hands. The Volt will then start up the gas engine in order to burn off stale gasoline, circulate engine oil, and pressurize the engine system.
When the car completes this engine and fuel maintenance mode, it shuts down again, giving the reins solely back to the electric motor. At that pointfor drivers who stay close to homethe gasoline is again left in reserve for days, weeks or months, until your next rare and infrequent trip to the pumps.

has it in New York city. Plugs into his underground garage.
Whats your favorite Volt feature?
Aside from the obvious (low-emission driving and freedom from oil dependence), my favorite feature is the "L" gear which makes stop and go driving in NYC much more tolerable because I can use the Volt's regenerative braking for "one pedal driving" instead of constantly switching back and forth to the brake pedal. Truly an under advertized feature.

3.8 cents per mile. Now assuming he gets free electricity at work (which is a trend that will likely only last until enough people do it to make it too expensive for employers) he's still paying for something like 700 miles worth. 700 * 0.038 = $26.6. Although the gas bill seems to be inflated bigtime, I can believe a $250/month gas bill and given the free electricity at work, the math seems to support a modest $30/month worth of electricity. So at least half of what he said checks out.
Cool info
I just love this car, its one of the best cars in the world. I don't know why, but i find it better than some of the leading cars in the market.
Write up on Merit Herman's car
Herman, an executive with a Santa Cruz-based food nutritionals company, agrees with the accolades. He says the cars performance has exceeded his expectations.
Buying an electric car probably isnt a stretch for the 45-year-old married father of twins. After all, the roof of his two-story home is covered with solar panels. But the self-professed solar geek says hes not a tree-hugging environmentalist, hes just a practical spender who was also committed to buying an American car.

Can you guys post links if you're getting these stories from articles on other sites? I appreciate the info though. The Volt is a very cool car, it will be interesting to see how far the price of the technology can come down in the next decade or so.
Update from Frank Calciano as of today, Oct 17:
I like the posting of the Volt in the VW Vortex thread. Aparrentlly the On Star was not fully setup in the first couple of days having do with registration and password setup. Anyway it works now. Have driven 233 miles of 266 total miles on electricity.

I have been really impressed by this vehicle and it's approach to electric driving. I hope that it does well and expands to other types of platforms (wagon, coupe, pick up). I'm glad to see that the new owners are liking it as well.
I've also only seen two Volts in the wild up here in Portland which seems weird since this is one of the most eco-minded cities. Perhaps we didn't get very many of the first production run. I have seen at least a dozen Leafs (Leaves ???) on the roads around here though.
San Antonio
S.A. has its first Volt owner
Engineering designer sees electric car as the next step after his Toyota Prius.
By Tracy Idell Hamilton
Published 12:00 a.m., Wednesday, January 12, 2011
Don Heihn is the first Chevy Volt owner in San Antonio. By JENNIFER WHITNEY/ special to the Express-News
Don Heihn long has embraced new technology and energy efficiency.
In the early 1980s, he bought a Commodore VIC 20, one of the first personal computers. More recently, he installed solar panels on his roof. Until last month, he drove a hybird, the Toyota Prius.
Now, the engineering designer is the first person in San Antonio to own a Chevrolet Volt, General Motors Co.'s award-winning plug-in electric car, which went on sale last month in a handful of markets.
Heihn bought his in Austin San Antonio Chevrolet dealers don't expect their first Volts until March.
I think electric cars are the future, Heihn said, standing between his silver Volt and a primer-gray MG Midget that he and a friend are converting into an electric car.
He sees the Volt as the next logical step after the Prius, which he described as a gas engine with an electric assist.
The Volt is the opposite: an electric engine with a gas assist, he said. The gas doesn't come on 'til the battery is depleted.
He offered a quick test ride, punching the Sport button on the sleek white center console to show off the sedan's get- up-and-go.
Then he floored it. The car accelerated so quickly a reporter's head bounced back against the black fabric seat.
The only thing missing? The sound of a gunning engine as the Volt shot silently down the street.
Heihn, a ball cap shading his eyes, smiled.
Fun, huh?
Sporty it may be, but once the Midget is complete he hopes by the end of the year Heihn will drive that to work while his wife Connie drives the Volt. Both will be able to plug in at work, albeit into 120-volt plugs.
That's the voltage of most home plugs. In general, they're capable of recharging an electric car, but more slowly than a 240-volt outlet. Most homes have 240-volt outlets for washers and dryers, but not much else.
The Heihns will install a 240-volt charging station, which can repower the Volt's batteries in as few as four hours.
They'll get help from CPS Energy and the city of San Antonio, which will rebate 50 percent, up to $1,000, toward the cost of a 240-volt vehicle charger.
The city gave the utility $50,000, part of a U.S. Department of Energy stimulus grant, to distribute on a first-come, first-served basis. Heihn is one of three people so far who have contacted the utility about a rebate.
He's no stranger to CPS' extensive rebate program, which is aimed at encouraging renewable and energy-efficient technologies.
CPS rebated $16,000 for the 6 kilowatts of solar photovoltaic panels he's installed on his roof; he received another $500 back for upgrading his air-conditioning system.
He thinks installing the charger will cost about $2,000 before the rebate.
Martha Wolf, who has a charger installed but won't see her electric Nissan Leaf delivered for another three to seven months, said her charger cost closer to $3,000, partly because she had to upgrade her electrical panel.
Everything I read says prices will come down, said Wolf, who chose the Leaf because its 100-mile driving range means she could make her 60-mile daily commute without recharging.
It's better for the environment, better for the country we can't keep sending our money over to Dubai and better for me, since the price of gas keeps going up.
And while CPS will have little to worry about while electric cars are scarce, the utility knows it needs to spread the word about the best times to charge and the worst.
The nightmare scenario is thousands of drivers plugging their cars in as soon as they get home from work, when the demand and cost of electricity are at their highest. On a smaller scale, many electric cars in one neighborhood, plugged in at the same time, could overload a single line, disrupting service to all.
There are still huge issues to work out, said Paul Barham, senior director of energy market operations at CPS. In the not-too-distant future, CPS will have the ability, thanks to smart meter technology, to offer time-of-use pricing, which will more accurately reflect CPS' cost per kilowatt hour at different times of the day.
Today, those amounts are averaged into one price for consumers. Barham believes the prospect of paying more at peak times will encourage customers to plug in later in the evening.
Another benefit to charging up at night: doing so means largely charging up on wind power, since West Texas wind, which makes up most of CPS' renewable portfolio, blows hardest at night.

It's interesting. In the green mecca that is Seattle, I see 5 Leafs for each Volt.
It's a shame, because I think the Volt is the far more practical alternative at the end of the day.
Seemed to be more of an even match in LA when I was there this past weekend.
I also saw my first Fisker Karma rolling silently past. It's looks like nothing else. EVERYONE stared at it.
http://www.cleanfleetreport.com/elec...hevrolet-volt/Felix Kramer and his wife Rochelle, in January, became the first couple to own and drive both a Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt. A founder of CalCars, Felix has been a leading advocate for plug-in hybrids for 10 years. We all owe him a thank you for the accelerated development of electric cars. Being environmentally concerned, they have a LEAF-first policy to minimize use of gasoline.
On nine trips to Lake Tahoe, over 200 miles from their home, they drove the Volt. The extended range of the Volt provides for easy non-stop driving. With the LEAF, overnight stops would be needed for recharging. When driving his Volt on snow, the handling has been adequate, but that there is a big market for the first automaker to offer a plug-in vehicle with all-wheel drive for better traction. Felix also recommends that automakers provide better range management with clear display of the miles of each trip without need to reset the odometer and with clear state-of-charge display.

more on Patrick Wang's Volt
You've stumbled on the personal blog site of the Chevy Volt Enthusiast Patrick Wang(Email: email@example.com)
I've test driven the Chevy Volt at Milford Proving Grounds and in San Francisco, participated in Volt focus groups, and was the subject of an at home Chevy Volt interview for General Motors. Check out my full behind the scenes experience of the trip that I won through the Wired Autopia Chevy Volt Video Challenge.
I am now the proud owner of the The 10th Chevy Volt, the first in the San Francisco Bay Area.The folks at Concord Chevrolet were kind enough to let me take the first drive of the car up to the service center (a whole 200 yards or so) where the Volt was queued up to be washed, detailed and ultimately put through a PDI or Pre-Delivery Inspection.
I was able to find out some interesting facts that might shed a little light if you are still waiting for your Volt to be delivered.
1.) Many Volts were shipped by Truck, especially the Launch Volts, however a good number also went by rail, which takes longer than truck delivery. This means if your Volt left the factory when it arrives at your dealer will depend if it went via rail or truck it would be hard to say exactly when it would be delivered. (Northern California was about the farthest delivery for a truck because they have to drive all the way south to avoid the winter weather, then turn west on the I-10 and come back north on I-5)
2.) When I started up the Volt to drive it 600 feet or so, the battery was depleted and there was minimal gas in the tank. (Pretty standard for any shipping process). Also, most dealers will not have a level 2 charging setup as they were primarily reserved for customers. This means that even after your Car is delivered, washed and tested, the dealer will have to put 10 hours worth of charge into your car. As such, I am picking up my Volt first thing Monday morning, even though it arrived Saturday Morning.
3.) My Volt was Vin #10. It happened to have 83 miles on it as new, which is more than most new cars. So you know how GM said they were doing quality checks? It gives you some reason to believe that they actually did more extensive testing on the launch units. If you think about it 83 miles is basically running down the battery all the way once and running for some period on extended range mode. (Anyone else notice this?)
4.) At 9:30 am Monday morning there will be a small media event at Concord Chevrolet to commemorate the First Volts to be delivered in the San Francisco Bay Area. Ill be there to receive my Volt.
5.) I heard Jay Leno got Volt Vin #13.

Chevy is dealing with a modification to the air dam
Still, after six months, early adopters have found a couple of small problems with the vehicle, and Chevrolet has moved aggressively to correct them.
The first problem quietly being addressed by General Motors is the design of the front air dam on the 2011 Volt. This flexible air dam is actually composed of three interlocking segments and the original design provides only about 4 inches of actual road clearance.
2011 Nissan Leaf and 2011 Chevy Volt, with charging station visible; photo by George ParrottClearly this improves the overall airflow under the car, but with such little road clearance, this original design
stock clearance and separation of air dam with contact on speed bumps and drivewaysscrapes on speed bumps and drags on even the slightest of inclines.
With continued scraping, the air dam segments separate, which leads to flapping noises at freeway speeds.
GM now offers a modified front air dam with greater clearance to any owner who finds that the original, extremely low design does not fit their driving circumstances.
Volt owners can contact their local Chevrolet dealer and simply ask for this modification. It will take about a week for the new air dam to arrive, and about 30 minutes to install at the dealership.
modified with new clearance
modified air dam no longer strikes ground so easily
The airdam will scrape all right, but if this is the extent of what Volt owners have to complain about, sounds pretty minor..............and dealer will replace for free with a shorter one.

When the season started, Liberty knew it would be competing for a championship — a title it wrapped up by finishing with a 12-1 record in league play en route to nabbing the Capital Hockey Conference co-championship with Dublin Jerome.
What the Patriots didn't know, though, was just how high those championship aspirations would carry them. With the CHC title taken care of, and a Blue Jackets Cup championship under its belt, Liberty has its eyes on the sport's top prize: a state championship.
First, though, The Patriots are headed to the District Championship, set to play familiar foe Jerome at 5 p.m. Saturday afternoon at the Dispatch Ice Haus. It will be their first trip to the finals in their four-year history.
The long road to the title game came to an end last weekend, when the squad downed rival Olentangy 5-3 Saturday and Dublin Coffman 3-0 Sunday.
Liberty was nearly flawless in the semi against Coffman, getting the game's first goal from Jimmy Ruska, who powered the puck past the Shamrock goalie off a feed from Christopher Bergamesca toward the end of the opening period.
Defense was the story in the second as the Patriot defense killed a 5-on-3 'Rock power play for well over a minute. As if that wasn't impressive enough, Liberty allowed Coffman just two shots over the course of the entire period.
The offense boosted the margin to 2-0 over the span as a Marshall Oja centering pass deflected off a Coffman defender and found the back of the net.
Liberty went on to seal the deal in the third period, going up 3-0 less than two minutes in on a Kyle Horner to Bergamesca goal from the left corner.
Liberty goalie Eddie Arcy, meanwhile, preserved the shutout with a solid showing between the pipes, turning away a handful of good shots from the desperate Coffman club in the game's final minutes. Arcy, who earned a standing ovation from the Patriot faithful, finished with 16 saves while the team improved its overall season mark to 26-8-1.
As mentioned, the Patriots now turn their sights to the Celtics, a group responsible for exactly a quarter of their losses this season. Jerome beat Liberty 4-2 Dec. 10 and 3-2 Feb. 4.
Tickets are now on sale for the District Championship showdown with Jerome. They can be purchased at Liberty High School or at the Ice Haus prior to the game. The winner of the contest will earn a trip to the State Final Four.

Metro Virginia News/The Public Pamphlet Two Papers/Two Dynamos
An earlier posting promised some additional remarks about a pair of recent arrivals to the LVA/VNP microfilm collection: the Metro Virginia News and the Public Pamphlet of Leesburg, Virginia. Rather than just a masthead, as earlier, let's take a look at a complete front-page for each of these Northern Virginian papers. First the weekly Metro Virginia News:
This copy of July, 1974 is an example of the paper at its best. It provides to readers detailed coverage of a local governing decision relating to an issue of increasing concern and debate: managing economic growth. The goal was to provide an alternative to the more established Loudoun Times-Mirror, a paper without competition since the mid 1950's, and to the advantage of interested readers, they often succeeded. But, as journalist A. J. Leibling reminds, "The function of the press in society is to inform, but its role in society is to make money." The enterprise was ill-timed. It coincided with a recession.
The Metro Virginia News published for just over two years, November of 1972 until December 1974, reaching a circulation of about 4000, some 8000 shy of the Times-Mirror. A financial sinkhole, not profit, beckoned. The newspaper, as well as ownership of the more solidly grounded Fauquier Democrat to the county south, was sold to Arthur Arundel, publisher of, pause, the Times-Mirror. The Democrat continued while the Metro Virginia News, to no one's surprise, was shuttered.
But to return to the paper's origin – an experienced editor, a young and extremely capable staff cannot simply will itself into being. Who provided the catalyst of money?
Again Leibling, a remark in greater circulation than of previous: "Freedom of the Press is guaranteed only to those who own one." Helmi Carr, unhappy with her representation in the local … read more »

I am delighted by reports that India is to become the first country in Asia to ban animal testing for cosmetics and ingredients. This step is a significant achievement and we are very grateful to MP Maneka Gandhi, founder of People for Animals, for the key role she played in this historic ban.
This achievement closely follows the recent European Union ban on the sale of animal tested cosmetics - a ban achieved following a twenty year campaign led by the BUAV - and we are now working hard to achieve similar bans in other countries around the world, with our sister organisation, Cruelty Free International. Dr Nick Palmer, our Director of Policy, has recently returned from China where he met with key decision-makers in the Chinese regulatory authorities and also gave a keynote speech at Asia's premier cosmetics industry event. Next week, he will be in Tokyo speaking at the International Cooperation on Cosmetics Regulation (ICCR); a key event which brings together cosmetics regulators from a number of countries. I am very excited by the work of Cruelty Free International and optimistic that we can achieve our mission, a worldwide ban on animal testing for cosmetics. We cannot do this without you so please support us with this crucial campaign.
In other exciting news, we are very grateful for the support of Paul O'Grady with the launch of our new campaign, 'Our Best Friends.' As many of you will know, the BUAV has a long history in campaigning to end the use of cats and dogs in research and our investigations over the years have revealed the terrible suffering inflicted on them both in the UK and overseas laboratories. You can find out more and get involved in our campaign at www.OurBestFriends.org
Our revelations that major food companies have been involved in sickening experiments on animals has hit the headlines. The story was widely reported by the media, including online by the Daily Mail and Daily Express. The fact that animals have suffered in efforts to identify 'health benefits' of certain foods has rightly caused a public outcry.
Finally, our call for an independent inquiry into the findings of our investigation at Imperial College has been gaining momentum. Our open letter to Lord Taylor of Holbeach, Home Office Minister, which was signed by a number of politicians, celebrities and other high profile individuals, was handed in at Number 10 Downing Street. Over 61,000 people have signed our petition supporting our call to the Government to set up a fully independent inquiry at Imperial College. Please sign and share it - http://bit.ly/ltkpetition
Until next time...

'Securing Human Mobility' book release discussion with Susan Ginsburg, Michael German, Luis Rubio, and Donald M. Kerwin.
This volume, by a former senior counsel to the 9/11 Commission, argues that the U.S. approach to immigration and border security is off-kilter and not keeping pace with the scope and complexity of people's movement around the world, nor with expectations regarding freedom of movement.
Mexico's efforts to help its migrants succeed in the U.S. offer a new example of an immigrant-sending country looking to improve its emigrants' lives and connect with its diaspora. This report examines Mexico's approach to its migrants and details the activities of the government's attempt to map the expanding range of its educational, health care, financial, and civic programs.
Despite benefits of sharing commercial, government, or personal information for law enforcement and intelligence purposes, U.S. and EU officials have toiled to find a satisfactory legal framework to do so. This report describes and analyzes possible legal, privacy, and data-protection frameworks for information-sharing agreements relating to human mobility.
This brief offers an analysis of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration, the Philippines' highly successful system of managing the overseas employment of temporary Filipino workers. The report examines the structure and mechanism of the system, identifies key areas of improvement, and offers policy recommendations for addressing existing flaws.
This report, the product of two workshops held on border management in Belgium and Texas, addresses three arenas of significant change shared by the United States and the European Union: 1) new government organizations for controlling borders; 2) the use of information technology to secure borders; and 3) visa‐free travel policies.
This report examines the ways in which governments can make the emerging global mobility system work better for European migrant-receiving countries, their developing-country partners, and the migrants themselves.
This report seeks to bring new light to the issues of migration by sea—particularly the interception and rescue of "boat people"—by synthesizing key discussion takeaways from an international forum of policymakers, international organizations, NGO representatives, and academics.

DURHAM -- Duke was picked to finish last in the Coastal Division this season by members of the media covering the ACC's recent Football Kickoff event.
The result was hardly a surprise to the league's defending Coach of the Year, David Cutcliffe. After five years on the job, he's come to expect seeing his Blue Devils start each season as the low team on the ACC's totem pole.
Duke is after all, in the words of former Virginia basketball coach Pete Gillen, still Duke. And that's the way it's going to stay until the Blue Devils prove otherwise on a consistent basis.
Which is why Cutcliffe isn't planning to use the disappointing preseason poll as motivation for the upcoming 2013 season, at least in the traditional manner.
"If you don't like the way it tastes, don't drink it anymore. If you don't like the results you're getting, change what you're doing," the sixth-year coach said Monday before his team's first formal practice of the summer.
"Those things are a reality, no matter how they hurt your feelings. Does it fuel you a little bit? Yeah. But that's not enough."
In order to change the perception of his program as much as he and his players have already transformed the culture of it, Cutcliffe and his Blue Devils will first have to prove that last year's success — modest as it might have been — wasn't a fluke.
They'll have to do that by beating teams at the top of the league standings and not just their fellow bottom feeders. They'll have to do it by learning to play even a little defense instead of allowing a league-worst 36 points per game as they did in 2012.
Most of all, they're going to have to start winning games in November when the stakes get higher.
That's something with which Duke has struggled mightily during Cutcliffe's tenure, winning only once in 19 tries during the season's final month. That includes four straight setbacks last November when the Blue Devils had a realistic shot at winning the Coastal and earning an unlikely trip to the ACC Championship Game in Charlotte.
"It's really tough seeing that happen," sophomore center Matt Skura said. "This year we've really focused on finishing. We're trying to take that to a new level, because we've seen the effect one of two games can have on the whole season."
One of the biggest problems Duke has faced in learning to finish strong is a lack of depth throughout the program. That was especially true last season when injuries decimated its lineup, especially in the defensive secondary.
It's a problem that is gradually improving thanks to a strong class of incoming recruits and the game experience young players such as Skura, safety Dwayne Norman and quarterback Anthony Boone were forced to get in 2012. They are among 32 players on the current roster have started at least one college game.
But manpower, along with fatigue, could again become a problem this November if everything doesn't break just right. That reality has Cutcliffe walking a fine line as he prepares to start his preseason camp here in the heat of August.
"The biggest (dilemma) I face as a coach is how hard can we push them early to get ready and still have fuel left in the tank in November?" he said. "I've got to be maybe a little smarter than anybody else out there to grow this program."
Being smarter, however, doesn't mean lowering the bar. Or being satisfied with simply winning six games and limping into a bowl once every 18 years.
Because while the rest of the ACC and most of college football continues to look at the Blue Devils as perennial cellar dwellers who were lucky to win six games last season, Cutcliffe and his players see a much different reflection when they look at themselves in the mirror.
That's why finishing strong and getting back to the postseason again this fall is even more important than it was a year ago. Otherwise, the momentum Duke football has finally started to build could end just as quickly as it has started.
Without anybody noticing the difference.

I just watched that ABC debate off this very website: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi2IC6e5DUY
First of all before i go on to talk about what this topic is really about - the debate format…..was unbelievable. An actual proper debate. A debate where opposide sides Got to talk, at length, on a Specific issue, where 'the good side' (harris/sherma) were allowed the chance to deal with specific points Chopra was making, or to pin him down on particular words he was using, and to gain a common definition, to then respond to. And, for once, the mediator didn't keep chiming in going 'oh we're short on time here' 'oh i'm going to have to cut you off there'...
It was an actual proper debate. What is it with America, and these weird debate systems you see on virtually every other youtube video - 'you get 5 minutes. Then I get 5 minutes'. Its one of the dumbest things ever - and nothing ever gets resolved or concluded.
Anyway - about this topic. What Deepak's fundamental message boiled down to was this:
'How can we just be flesh and bone? How can we just be a material object, with a material brain, eventually leading to death and nothingness? How can we ever reduce the human 'experience' (whatever that means) down to scientific data on a graph? We are so much more than that! WE are so special!'
EGO. Nothing but EGO, from start to finish. Only a massively ego centric, self centred, insular person can think that. That there is more to life than birth and death, that we are more than our mere material brains.
Deepak can try as hard as he likes to differentiate it from your orthodox religions, but the thought processes which give rise to what Deepak believes in, are EXACTLY the same ones that give rise to the beliefs in religious people. Deepak would never admit it, but he finds value in exactly the same ideals as religious people, Coated in a layer of 'new age' waffle.
Whats even more amazing is, he contradicts himself constantly. 1 minute he's applauding whenever Harris/Sherma acknowledge 'the unknown', but He himself is then hypothesising that there is a mind and a soul, a concious being which lives outside of the material body!
Its all about ego, and I guess, horror of the inevitable. I for one couldn't care less if I was reduced down to sets of data on a piece of paper, if I was reduced down to a series of complex genes and molecules, all interacting with each other. That IS all we are, and the more that neuroscience develops, The more that That view - that all our human experiences are happening in the material brain - is holding true.
you cannot define 'a higher purpose' the way Deepak is trying to. Our experiences are all subjective (though happening in an objective material brain), and therefore life is simply what you make of it - we are ultimately constructs and conditioned by the environments we grew up and live in, and therefore there could NEVER be a specified, defined, written in literature higher purpose and meaning that Deepak subscribes to.
one persons higher meaning and 'spirituality' could be entirely different from another persons spiritual enlightening.
In a way Deepak is more dangerous than ANY priest or Imam, because he spouts the same values as religion (the same nonsense) but shrouded in a sea of mumbo-jumbo, which people will take more seriously. His play on words is frightening, and he has this uncanny ability to frame words into a sentence that is so woolly, that it almost numbs a sceptical mind - you'd struggle to even argue against it, because his semantics of words were so different to Harris/Shermas/a rational person.
very worrying indeed. I was even more alarmed when he started talking about 'diabolical science'. This is EXACTLY the kind of sentiment that religious people will cling on to, to defend their faith. Science in of itself is a methodology, the use of it for destructive purposes has got absolutely nothing to do with science itself, and more to do with politics and selfish human interest, and lack of education.
i hope Sam writes a book one day that completely dismantles this new form of religion, which is in some ways a more potent weapon against humanity than any of your established religions.

German Clay Baker
The Original Römertopf Clay Roaster Made In Germany
Known as the original slow cooker, the Römertopf Clay Roaster from Germany makes healthy cooking easy and delicious. This simple, yet efficient, clay roaster seals in the juices and self-bastes while gently roasting for the most tender, juicy chicken, pork, beef, and vegetables you've ever tasted. And, because the Römertopf Clay Roaster is self-basting, no added oils or fats are needed for mouthwatering results. Made from high-quality clay, found only in German-made clay roasters, the clay bottom is glazed on the inside so it doesn't absorb flavors and makes for easy cleanup, while the unglazed lid naturally attracts moisture into the cooking vessel. It's oven safe up to 500° F and must be placed in a cold oven and allowed to come up to temperature to prevent cracking. Both the small (approx. 13½"x8¾"x6¾") and medium (approx. 15"x10½"x7¾") clay roasters are microwave safe and work great for baking bread, too. Recipe book included. Hand wash.

About Jo Dee Messina
'Downtime' doesn't make Messina 'Unbreakable' (Created February 27, 2013)
She grew up emulating stars like Reba McEntire, Wynonna Judd and Dolly Parton. But Jo Dee Messina has blazed her own path through the country music world over the last 17 years (and counting), thanks to hit songs like "I'm Alright" and "Stand Beside Me." The red-headed spitfire from New England not only proved she belonged in country circles, but briefly crossed into the pop scene while her songs burned up the charts.
Messina got the performing bug early in life, starring in musical plays at age eight and playing local clubs by the age of 16. Three years later, she moved to Nashville and made the rounds at local talent competitions, winning a slot on the radio show Live at Libby's. It wasn't long before Messina caught the attention of producer Byron Gallimore, befriended a hot country upstart by the name of Tim McGraw, and got her foot in the door at Curb Records. The rest, as they say, was history.
An eponymous debut album, released in 1996, put Messina on the map thanks to the Top Ten hits "Heads Carolina, Tails California" and "You're Not in Kansas Anymore." Her sophomore effort made her the first female country artist to have three multiple-week number one hits from the same album: "Bye Bye," "I'm Alright" and "Stand Beside Me." And with the wind at her back, she drifted into the pop realm with her third album, 2000's "Burn." Not only did it climb to the top of the charts, songs like the title track, "That's the Way," "Downtime" and "Bring on the Rain" solidified her as the reigning queen of country.
Though it took five years for an official follow-up to "Burn," Messina's next album also peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. It would, however, be her last trip to the top. A stint in rehab for alcoholism, a slew of failed singles and EPs that failed to gain traction put her career on the back burner while she focused on her family. But Messina recently kicked off 2013 in full writing mode, and in early February she produced a downloadable single and streaming music video for a song that has summed up her career – "Unbreakable."
