It would be dead simple for gas stations, already no more than 50miles apart in North America, to take down a gas pump and replace it with ultra high speed 480V 400amp or even 800amp charge. That should do a car in 10-30mins depending on battery range.
The gas stations already have a supply of electricity. They already have the locatons nailed down. You can card swipe the purchase, so you don't even need an attendant!!!!!
You can bet that gas companies want to find a replacement for lost income from gas sales. Yes we will get gouged for electricty, probably 2x-3x the price, but who cares. It is just for cross country travel and we tend to only do that once a year, or so.
Am I missing something? Could it be that simple?
Those gas stations need make profit. Selling pure electricity wont be enough, because 99% of driving with 300+mile range cars wont use those stations. Those that do will do it in roadside restaurants and places like that. If you have a restaurant in you gas station, then it would be viable alternative, but you still lose almost all of your customers.
Almost all of the gas stations will go bankrupt with this transition. For them BEV success is bad news.
Apparently big oil has realized that and are now rushing fuel cell vehicles in market. That would keep them afloat for a while before sinking. If LPPx succeeds then that will be the final nail in their coffin, you could have 5+MW power station at every charging point.
You have to consider that a high power electric charging cannot happen too close from the other gas pumps :D
Rebuilding costs, space etc. plus Timo's argument make this a very low chance shot :(
They could charge a flat $5 + cost of power. The margin on retail gas is pretty slim; it would probably work out about the same. They're selling convenience and speed, so there'd be customers.
Even flat $10 + cost of power (at least with a 300 mile range) would be good for the purchaser. Of course, initially they won't have a lot of purchasers, so payoff time might be somewhat long. My biggest worry (assuming I get the money together for the purchase) is that I won't be able to find enough properly spaced charging stations between Washington state and Southern California to make a round trip once a year, without taking at least a week each way.
Think as more and more electric cars get on the road that the "getting in line" for charge factor will play into the equation fairly heavy, maybe will have to have very large spaces with a lot of charging places. Then with good restaurant or similar diversion close by.
Expect to see many more like this in the near future. Free charging will probably become a must for shopping malls and similar businesses that compete for customer time:
Tesla announced (you may have to bing ;) it) that they will install some charging stations on highways. Initially, you could use it for free !
I think we'll see the infrastructure being built out fairly promptly; here we're fortunate that some of the auto majors (Nissan, Chevy) are out ahead. Established car-makers positioning EVs as mainstream will encourage more of this:
Gas station sites probably won't be the best targets, except at the rest stops on turnpikes. Charging takes longer than filling a gas tank, so we'll want to run errands, eat a meal, etc. Hotels will start adding charging stations as a differentiating competitive perk.
Once my daughter decides which college she's going to, I'm going to start a push for that institution to install on-campus charging so I can go visit her, gas-free! (No, none of her preferred schools are within 150 miles of home.)
Even at a quick 45 minute charge, I personally don't want to just sit around a gas station. And if there is another car charging ahead of me, what am I going to do??? Current EV chargers (RAV4EV) are at malls, city center parking garages, movie houses, Costco shopping centers, restaurants. Not a gas station in the bunch. You WILL want something to do for an hour or so.
And, of course, gas stations already make more profit from the junk food and quick mart business than they do from gas sales. Where else can you see obviously poor people spending $10 on chips, soda, jerky, and a lottery ticket!!! Sad, really.
Gas stations are actually the perfect place for chargers. As for the complaint that they aren't the most pleasant places to be (as if a mall IS), that's showing a lack of foresight - if customers are forced to linger for over a half hour at a station, the first thing we'll see is the guaranteed free market action of making those stations pleasant - eateries, either franchised or not will be built, for one (and these already exist at nearly every station catering to interstate traffic). The idea of NOT using gas stations I find totally bizarre. Of course, we are talking high speed recharging, not something silly like 110Volt outlets. A 110 volt charger is almost nonsensical, even at shopping malls. Those chargers could only service a few cars per day, far too few to justify their costs and what they would have to charge the customer. Generally speaking, EV owners will avoid public charging stations. They will cost a lot more than charging at home, especially the slow chargers.
I see there are the usual presence of those who think conspiracies exist everywhere - the idea that oil companies would be developing fuel cells presents a few problems for those wanting to take this kind of blithering nonsense seriously : oil companies
don't distribute any fuel that a fuel cell might use, and (naturally), aren't trying to build a fuel cell - those have been
the result of over a decade's work by several automakers, some of whom (GM for one) have dropped the idea. Honda and Mercedes seems to have been the most successful in getting the costs down and the power up.
If you want to avoid carbon emissions, fuel cells probably make as much sense as EVs, actually much, much more if battery prices don't come down, limiting the widespread use of EVs.
There is also the ignorance hereabouts that , for some reason, doesn't know that the vast majority of gas stations are independently owned and operated. They aren't even beholden to any particular oil company and can sell anything they feel like selling (propane for many, food, groceries, etc.), including electricity, a right that has been upheld repeatedly by the courts.
There is also the ignorance that assumes all oil goes into transportation. Far from it - about half the oil we use has nothing to do with transportation, and even electric cars will use oil for lubrication and plastics, etc. EVs couldn't exist without oil.
A 110 volt charger is almost nonsensical, even at shopping malls. Those chargers could only service a few cars per day, far too few to justify their costs and what they would have to charge the customer. Generally speaking, EV owners will avoid public charging stations. They will cost a lot more than charging at home, especially the slow chargers.
I beg to differ. 110 Volt (or 220 Volt over here in Europe) "chargers" (actually: plain standard power sockets) cost almost nothing to install, and I expect that most malls will not only provide a reasonable number of those, but many also will let EVs charge for free as a means to differentiate themselves from other competing malls.
You are right that you cannot use "high speed charging" at these, which actually makes it even more attractive to the mall to offer free usage: The power you can draw is limited to a reasonable amout, and any metering and charging infrastructure would not really pay off. On the other hand, from the perspective of the EV owner, when I can top up at every place where I stay for more than 10 minutes, that is an attractive deal and helps to get through the day even with a smaller battery.
For longer trips, I totally agree with you. Quick charging stations should complement existing fuel stations, and those will certainly charge a premium (ok with me).
First off, you must remember that charging an EV is nothing like refueling a car. The average car is on the road about 4% of the time, and you must refuel *while you are going somewhere*. The EV recharges during the other 96% of the time *while you are doing something more worthwhile*. You don't want to be standing around the toxic smelling quickee mart greasy taco franchise with the unsanitary bathrooms for forty five minutes, waiting for an expensive high voltage charge that DOES shorten your battery life, hopefully not waiting for two other fellow travellers in front of you.
All the public charging I have used was 220 volt. All of it was placed near malls or restaurants or hotels. Nobody cared if it wasn't by a gas station franchise which had paid premium for his toxic site (we have had several gas stations closed because of leaky tanks) and needed to get his profit from you.
I think wanting to put fast charging stations at gas stations in bizarre actually but everyone has a different opinion of course. I think the ideal place for these are roadside coffee shops (like Starbucks) or restaurants along major highways. Of course if some of those happen to be gas stations, that's fine I just don't think they should purposely try and place them at gas stations if better alternatives exist.
Why build on a cafe or restaurant next to a gas station site when you can just put the charger at a Starbucks? I'd rather sit, drink coffee or something else and surf the internet for 45 min than sit at a gas station.
The UberPlanner mentality seems to have gripped you (and others). There's no "you put".
It's whether the station owners decide to provide them and try and make them profitable. Gas stations have the signal advantage of being widespread and located strategically for drivers. I.e., near roads, highways, and malls. Having to search out a restaurant or hotel for a charge is not the same convenience level at all.
BrianH, Just seems like as small parking capacity as gas stations have and as long as it takes to charge that they would be just constantly filled up and thus a hassle to fool with trying to find a place you dont have to wait in line a long time. Whereas anywhere where there is a larger parking capacity seems more workable. TCB
You need only small parking capacity. 95% of all cars do not charge there, be it fast or not, because they do not need to. You need to charge in places like that only in long road trips, which is tiny fraction of all driving. 300+ mile range puts it in very tiny category of driving.
timo, I see your logic. Guess we will just wait and see how all this works out.
My guess is some kind of Battery Swap Stations. Either the complete battery or some long ride extra extension battery, maybe not for the tesla now but further on. Because even a charge time of 15-20 minutes is a long long time when we are used to refuel in a couple of minutes.
I see Mcdonalds (and competitors) being the big players in this market, offering 220V (maybe 200amp or 400amp) charging. That should take a nearly depleted 300mile battery up to 80% in an hour.
That said, I still don't see gas stations standing aside and letting their market share fade away. They would need to offer something around 5mins (10mins max) to charge your car. The only way that will work is a 480V (400amp or 800amp) ultra high speed charger that could bring a depleted battery up to 80% very fast. Gas stations sell energy, currently only liguid (gas, deisel or propane). Electricty is energy, so it is an obvious fit for them.
They won't take away any gas pumps in the short term, but they can esily setup a few high speed chargers hooked up to the side of the building out of the way from the main body of traffic as the recharge time is 2x-4x longer than a gas tank fillup.
I think the mental concept of where to charge needs revamping. It is not like every time you go out in your Model S you have to also find a place to charge... In that same mindset every time you drive your current vehicle you should get gas once you leave your house to stay topped off.
In other words.. these Teslas are designed for long distance traveling so you don't have to find a charging spot if you're messing about all day. Just charge it at home at night. It is only the actual long road journey's that make the difference. Then I would say just planning in advance of where you can stay for the night or even a restaurant that would take an hour or two break and ask the owner to plug in. Give him $10 and it will more than cover the cost.
Where I live, you can divide all those costs by 2, almost exactly.
But right now, gas is about $5.40/USG. And that's in highly valued Cdn$$!
In Germany it's currently around 1.56 EUR/liter which is 8.35 USD/USG. BTW, did you already know Google Guru? It's great for conversions like that, even does MPG to l/100km: http://guru.googlelabs.com/
they will charge what the market will bear. If it's too much, no customers! There's a dude called "Adam Smith" you might like to read.
I just don't see gas stations making it with chargers, at least not the Pump N Go types. I subscribe to the same model as a few others here. I do not top off my gas car every time I go home and I will not be topping off my EV every time I turn a corner.
The only time an EV will need a charge station will be on those long road trips. People are not going to stand in line for it. They will want choices. They can sit in their car at the Pump N Go or they can go to The Waffle House and get a cup of joe and dinner/breakfast while the car charges.
Why would I plug in at the gas station then walk a across the street to a place to spend my time when I can just park and charge at the place that has the time killing fulfillment already available.
Now if you are saying the Pump N Go will just install a counter and a few waitresses so you can pass the time then I'd argue the restaurants, cafes, and Walmarts have already perfected that so the Pump N Go is too late to the party. It'd be easier to add a fast charger to the Walmart/restaurant than to add the walmart/restaurant to the gas station.
In addition I don't think Walmart is going to suddenly think, "Oh my God we need a dozen fast chargers on the double!" They are going to get a customer request and they will put in ONE or two. After it's use becomes excessive (paid for plus interest and profits) they will add another 1 or 2. After that they will upgrade again if needed. It's not like it will be an all or nothing choice.
Maybe Gas station was just a wrong choice in words. I think of a little place with four to six pumps and Twinkies at the counter when I hear gas station. Truck stops and the like are still gas stations but on a different scale. Those would be good contenders for fast chargers since they already have a place to eat included.
It currently costs me about $50 to fill up my car. I would pay $20-30 to charge my electric car when I am making long road trips with it.
Paraphrasing the thread title: Your house already has the infrastructure in place to charge electric cars. So does the bank, the supermarket, the church, the deli, the public parking garage, the coffee shop, the restaurant... Where will EV charge points be installed, it will be dictated by the marketplace, as well as the price.
BrianH: Not sure how that is UberPlanner mentality exactly but the chargers don't currently exist so someone has to decide where to put them. You really want them at a gas station when there is likely a McDonalds or a Starbucks half a block away (also right next to the highway)? I'm not saying gas stations shouldn't be allowed to have them. If they want to get into the business of having fast chargers, that's great. I just think that since it's just electricity, it opens up options for other businesses to provide the service. You wouldn't see a Starbucks wanting to install a large underground gasoline tank so they can provide fill up service to ICE cars but a single charger would be possible.
Given StarBucks pricing, it would probably be $2.95/kwh ...
I imagine they'd partner with someone like Coulomb Technologies. They could even arrange a $5 'convenience fee' or something just to use the charger that gets waived if you come in and buy coffee. I'm not saying it has to be a Starbucks, just that I don't think the chargers should purposely be placed at gas stations if there are better places to put them. If there aren't, a gas station would be fine for certain locations.
I agree with the original poster.
I understand that people think of gas stations as greasy little places with no parking and nothing to do; but not all of them are like that. There is a gas station near me that is also a TacoBell and PostOffice. My local Grocery store(s) also have gas stations on the property.
If gas stations (big oil) started serving the EV crowd… you know there will be 'marketing research' involved to target EV owners. Therefore relaxing convenient charging stations will emerge.
I also think charging at fast food chains and hotels and any other place would be great too.
I am not ready to say charging at a 'gas station' is out of the picture just yet. If there is money to be made it will come and consumers will shape the market with their wallets.

TOKYO -- Mike Rodgers of the United States won the men's 100 meters on Sunday at the Golden Grand Prix.
Rodgers ran 10.19 seconds to finish ahead of Derrick Atkins of the Bahamas, who posted a 10.24.
Rodgers is off to a good start this season after a disappointing 2012. He ran 10.04 into a headwind at the Mt. SAC Relays and had a strong relay leg at the Penn Relays.
Trying to recover from a fractured foot last year, he failed to make the London Olympic team by 0.01 seconds.

Author Harper Lee, hometown museum at odds
More News from Associated Press
MONTGOMERY, Alabama — "To Kill a Mockingbird" author Harper Lee is at odds with a museum in her hometown in Alabama.
Lee is seeking a trademark for the words "To Kill a Mockingbird" when they are used on clothing. The Monroe County Heritage Museum is opposing the application, contending the sale of souvenirs with the title of Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is vital to its continued operation.
Lee's attorney, Robert Clarida, says the 87-year-old author has never received a penny from the museum's sale of T-shirts, caps and other souvenirs.
The museum's director and attorney say the museum has been one of Lee's biggest supporters, with an exhibit dedicated to her. They are hoping the legal dispute can be settled without damaging that relationship.

Haskell is over 10 years old now but still relatively few people are even aware of its existence. To the converted few, Haskell offers a powerful solution to problems encountered whilst building software systems. However, many find the learning curve incredibly steep and never get to appreciate its strengths or its advantages.
Haskell: The Craft of Functional Programming is aimed at beginners and coaches the reader in both Haskell and in the rationale behind functional programming in general. As the title suggests, the emphasis of the book is on crafting functional programs and contains many (simple) examples and advice on how to avoid common mistakes when using one of the more popular implementations of Haskell, namely Hugs.
Simon Thompson takes the reader from a point of knowing little or nothing about Haskell and introduces each of its language features in a well-paced chatty manner. It is no surprise that this book and its predecessor (Miranda: The Craft of Functional Programming) have been used as standard texts in many university departments.
However, since this is a beginners book, more advanced techniques such as the monadic style of functional programming (a special kind of use of abstract data structure that allows functional programs to be structured more easily) is unfortunately given a very thin covering (12 pages), suggesting that the interested reader obtain one of the Springer-Verlag lecture notes series.
Alongside this is the fact that often the only way to solve problems is to use libraries that have not made it into the Haskell standard yet. Reading and writing binary files is one example of this. This approach, while being fine for a teaching text, can leave the reader who is trying to solve a real world problems feeling more than a little unsupported.
These points were recently emphasized when Haskell was used (outside the realm of academia) to prototype a language translation system. This system used techniques well known and well understood to the research community but yet to hit the bookstore shelves. This book was successfully used when my colleague joined the project, enabling him to rapidly get up to speed with the language and general concepts. However, there was still a large gulf between this point and the kind of code found in the project.
This situation is perhaps analogous to the gulf between the war-scarred C++ hacker and the programmer who churns out the ubiquitous "hello world." However, walking into any bookstore confirms that the mainstream languages have widespread support and it is relatively easy to obtain a breeze-block sized text on just about any level of Java/C++.
It is perhaps a little unfair to expect The Craft of Functional Programming to be all things to all men since as it excels as an introductory teaching text. Its only real competition being Paul Hudak's The Haskell School of Expression: Learning Functional Programming through Multimedia and it would be nice to see a pragmatic "Haskell used in anger" publication to follow either of these introductions.

""The Fiat 500 gets a piece of just about everything we throw at it.""
It would be easy to leave the Fiat 500 in the box it was built for, labeled "a-freaking-dorable city car," but we keep things interesting by pushing the little critter to do tasks outside of its intended regimen.
Senior web editor Phil Floraday recently adopted a 105-pound American bulldog with a head the size of a hippo's. Floraday decided to show his new pet off at work and brought Duke -- that's the pooch's name -- to the office in the 500. Duke fit snuggly in the back half of the car once the rear seats were folded flat. "He didn't care for the liftover height of the rear hatch, but he loved the rear windows because they let him size up other drivers on the expressway," laughed Floraday.
With the rear seat upright and two child safety seats strapped into place, copy editor Rusty Blackwell turned the Fiat into a family hauler for a trip to a Detroit Tigers game. "As tricky as it is to get the seats in through the front doors and to pull the anchor straps tight, it's much easier in this car than it is in our Four Seasons Nissan Juke, a car that should seemingly be much more spacious," said Blackwell. While two, front-facing child seats will fit side-by-side in the Fiat's back seat, Blackwell faces one seat forward and one backward. "I like doing this partially for safety reasons but more for the onlooker shock value." Yep, pulling an 18-month-old child through the hatch of a Fiat sure is shocking.
The Fiat 500 gets a piece of just about everything we throw at it. It can hug turns up and down back roads, eat up miles on the highway, and handle a whole lot of cargo, be it your kids or your giant dog. But while some of the things you can do in the Fiat are truly astonishing for a car of this size, we don't think that Fiat 500 is an astonishing car on the whole. Instead, we think senior editor Eric Tingwall's take on the 500 is pretty accurate: "Consider all of the challenges in building a car this narrow, this short, and this tall, and the Fiat 500 is simply amazing. The ride quality, the stability, and the body control are excellent. I've previously spoken out against the seating position, but it shouldn't take an engineer to recognize that the upright buckets are a necessity for Fiat to include rear seats. The Fiat 500 really is a competent car -- not just a competent small car."

Student essay draws Secret Service to school for President, Oprah threat
Filed under: Development/Milestones: Babies, Day Care & Education
I would love 10 minutes inside this child's head to find out how Oprah made it on that list. After watching her takedown of James Frey, I'd think she'd be someone you'd want to have working for you, not against you. (Besides, I'm sure Oprah's SWAT team of trained assassins can take out any potential threat with less than 24 hours' notice.) Secretly, I have to wonder if the Secret Service was more concerned about the Queen of Daytime TV than about their reputed boss. Hmm...does this kid know something we don't know?!
(Oh, and it's my duty to remind all commenters that threatening the life of the President is a felony. Just putting that out there...)

Slapstick Shakespeare in Stratford
STRATFORD-UPON-AVON—First up is "The Comedy of Errors," by Palestinian director Amir Nizar Zuabi. Shakespeare evidently intended his audience to be repelled by the politics of Ephesus, as the play opens with the announcement of the law stating that strangers are to be put to death, unless a native will stand bond for them.
The director, and designer Jon Bausor, set the play in the docklands of Ephesus, featuring a crane, winch, oil drums and packing cases. Though many of the Ephesians are armed and dressed in police-state black, Mr. Zuabi's sense of fun soon gets the better of him, and he treats us to the best-rehearsed slapstick comedy since "One Man, Two Guvnors." He recognizes that the piece is not so much about any solemn sense of identity as it is about the hilarious mistaken identities of the two pairs of twins.
So Antipholus of Syracuse (a splendidly deadpan Jonathan McGuinness) delivers his lines while rolling on one of the barrels, and another character does a swan dive over a clutch of them. A single packing case discharges three heavily laden people, and another, the servant-twin, Dromio of Syracuse.
The Dromios, Bruce Mackinnon and Felix Hayes, were cast for their superficial resemblance, but even more, as Mr. Hayes says in the program, for "similar mannerisms, speech patterns and comic rhythms." Needless to say, these are mind-blowingly camp.
Add to this the trophy-wife Adriana of Kirsty Bushell, the little-miss-jailbait Luciana of Emily Taaffe and the classy/slutty courtesan of Amie Burns Walker, and you have a production that provokes belly laughs as well as thought.
Until May 14, then July 16-Oct. 6; London Roundhouse, June 1-July 6

Apollonia (Chalcidice)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Apollonia (Greek: Ἀπολλωνία) was the ancient chief town of Chalcidice in Macedonia, situated north of Olynthus, and a little south of the Chalcidian mountains. That this Apollonia is a different place from Apollonia in Mygdonia, appears from Xenophon, who describes the Chalcidian Apollonia as distant 10 or 12 miles from Olynthus. It was probably this Apollonia that struck the beautiful Chalcidian coins, bearing on the obverse the head of Apollo, and on the reverse his lyre, with the legend Χαλκιδέων. Demosthenes claims that Apollonia was among the Greek cities destroyed by Philip II of Macedon, probably during his war against the Chalcidian League in 348 BCE when he also destroyed Olynthus.[1]

The former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa on Thursday predicted that the State Assembly may face polls in February itself.
"Going by the present developments in the State, there is a likelihood of the Assembly elections being held in February, and the new government being formed in April," Mr. Yeddyurappa said while addressing the Village Assistants' Association of the Revenue Department.
His statement has assumed importance as the former Chief Minister has been consistently maintaining that his move to join a new party would not come in the way of the Jagadish Shettar government completing its full term. Even after holding a meeting of his supporters on Tuesday, he had stated that there was no threat to the Shettar government.

MERIDIAN, Idaho -- The best friend of a young woman killed in a two-car accident is moving forward to honor her friend and prevent another tragedy by taking action, planning a benefit. Police say the accident was likely caused by a driver who had been drinking.
One week ago, the two-car crash killed three people in Garden City. Police say a driver veered into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with another car. Inside that second car were three young women. 22-year-old Jamie Taylor of Eagle and 21-year-old Danielle Vacca of Meridian died as a result. Taylor's funeral was Thursday, and Vacca was laid to rest on Tuesday.
Police say the person who caused the crash, 25-year-old Noah Willhide of Boise, had just left a party. Witnesses there say he had been drinking. Vacca's best friend, Caitlin Shannahan-Newton, said knowing that made her angry.
I'm so shocked at how it happened because it's just something to say no to so easily and just not do, Shannahan-Newton said. Just have that willpower not to drive when you're drinking.
It has not been confirmed whether the driver police say caused last week's crash was drunk at the time. Police have said they suspect he had been impaired by drugs and/or alcohol. Garden City investigators are still waiting Noah Willhide's blood tests to come back.
'She was just the best friend I could have asked for.'
For eight years, Caitlin Shannahan-Newton and Danielle Vacca were best friends. They met at school.
We instantly became friends, Shannahan-Newton said. I knew I wanted to be her friend from the moment I heard her laugh. She was always really carefree and always happy.
Vacca moved to Salt Lake City a few years ago to study psychology and gender studies at the University of Utah. Even though they were apart, Shannahan-Newton said the two kept in touch and she'd visited Vacca over the summer for her bachelorette party.
She was there on my wedding day, and held my hand, and told me I looked pretty. She's just been there for me through thick and thin, Shannahan-Newton said.
'I was just shocked. I just couldn't believe it.'
In the early morning hours of the Friday after Thanksgiving, everything changed when a wrong-way driver smashed into a car Vacca was riding in. Shannahan-Newton had been planning to visit Vacca Friday morning before she caught a flight back to Salt Lake City.
I texted her like, 'Hey, I'm going to come see you at like 7:00', and I never heard from her. I found out at like 10:00, and it was... it's still a shock to lose your best friend to that. I just can't believe it.
Adding to her shock, Shannahan-Newton heard the news that the driver of the other car was suspected by police of drinking and driving.
This is a choice that is made, Shannahan-Newton said. And I feel like it's an easy choice to say no to.
'This is just what she'd do for everyone else.'
Dani was a psychology major and she wanted to help people and that was her dream and I want her dreams to come true and so we just thought, let's make her dream come true. Let's help people like she would, Shannahan-Newton said.
To help prevent drunk driving accidents, Shannahan-Newton, her dad, and another friend are planning a benefit called Lose your keys . It means, if you're drinking, get rid of your car keys.
You can give them to somebody who can take care of them. Just be responsible and lose your keys, Shannahan-Newton said.
Shannahan-Newton wants to gather law enforcement and people who have been impacted by drunk drivers to show potential drunk drivers just what's at stake, that it could be their family or friends who get hurt.
'This is an epidemic.'
This is an epidemic, and something needs to be done We need to challenge the bars, we need to challenge our lawmakers to see how we can prevent this because this is just too wrong of a way for two beautiful young women to die, Shannahan-Newton said.
Shannahan-Newton and the others she's working with are moving quickly. Because her friend's accident happened after a holiday night, she wants to hold this benefit before Christmas while students are still in town.
The only survivor of last week's crash, 22-year-old Rebecca Cross of Eagle, is still in the hospital in Seattle. Cross was initially listed in critical condition after the accident, though she is now expected to recover according to Shannahan-Newton's information.
How to help
If you're interested in helping with the benefit, you can email Caitlin Shannahan-Newton at firstname.lastname@example.com
Shannahan-Newton also says a donations fund has been set up by police for Rebecca Cross at the Home Federal Bank to help her family pay for medical bills. Donations can be taken to any Home Federal Bank.

This is a little embarrassing to admit, but when it comes to gadgets I'm in the stone age. My phone is not very exciting, it's old and lots of the keys do not work. And while my desktop computer is swanky, my laptop is far from cool. What made me wake up to the fact that my gadgets aren't very current has to do with a young girl seated nearby on my flight home. You can learn a lot from a college student. She was sitting there enjoying videos and TV shows on her iPod and there I was with my prehistoric iPod Classic, well perhaps it is called the super classic or something because it has no color and can only play music and podcasts. I've used it for several years now and felt quite content with the way things were up until my flight home. I felt so out of touch, like I should be wearing mom jeans and a scrunchie, but more than that, kind of ticked because I wanted to watch sitcoms and music videos like college girl.
When I got home, I contacted my Mac geek friend in Luxembourg and he suggested the iPod Touch 30 Gig so I ordered it. It will arrive on Wednesday, the day I will officially rank a few points higher on the hip-o-meter. I rarely let others influence my purchases but I'm glad I did this time because I think this little gadget will be helpful for me and I love the fact that I can access the web on it and Facebook because I'm ADDICTED to it.
I know this isn't a gadget blog, but I have to ask… Does anyone have the iPod Touch and if so, would you like to leave a review? I'm always interested in what my friends have to say about products so I'd appreciate your feedback. I'm especially interested in small business tips and ways that it may be able to help me in that respect.

Hello everyone! After 24 sleepless hours, I'm home and jet lag free. Our friends met us at Logan airport with tulips, wine, and a bag of gourmet style foods from Whole Foods, which nearly made me cry. The moment I stepped into my New Hampshire home this dreamy feeling washed over me, like I knew that this was my home but I couldn't quite process that I was no longer in Germany. Can you believe that our next door neighbors brought over a casserole because they missed us so much? Yeah, I mean really. How nice was that?
It's been an odd few days, this is my first time experiencing two homes and I hadn't thought about all the little things that would occur as I settled back in on this side of the pond. I couldn't remember where I kept my scissors, I kept grabbing for a long handle on my cabinets instead of a center knob, I had 7 bins of mail to sort through, and I have a car again. I also find myself making plans that I would go here or there this week then realizing I cannot because those places are now thousands of miles away. I also came back at a pretty bad time, we have had unbelievable snowfall, our car is completely buried (you can only see the tires). It's truly a winter wonderland and so very pretty but also a bit of a pain because exchanging the convenience of the city for country life that is, well… not nearly as easy.
How are you today? It's a holiday week so blogging will be sporadic here on decor8, but I'll be back in a few minutes with some inspiration for you to bring a little cheer. :)

NEW YORK — The "Everyday Low Prices" king is trying to shake up the world of pricing once again.
Walmart told The Associated Press that it has rolled out an online tool that allows shoppers to compare its prices on 80,000 food and household products to those of its competitors. The world's largest retailer began offering the feature, called "Savings Catcher," on its website last month in seven big markets, including Dallas, San Diego and Atlanta.
The move by Walmart, which has a long history of undercutting competitors, could change the way people shop and how other retailers price their merchandise. After all, Americans already increasingly are searching for the lowest prices on their tablets and smartphones while in checkout aisles.

Radio -- Cowboy Radio Network
Game notes vs Campbellsville in PDF format
Game Information
Oklahoma State opens the exhibition portion of the 2013-14 season on Sunday, October 27, as the Cowboys host the Campbellsville Tigers of Kentucky at 2 pm inside Gallagher-Iba Arena. The game will be produced by the Cowboy Sports Network, and televised on Fox Sports Oklahoma.
105th season of Cowboy Basketball
This is the start of the 105th season of Cowboy Basketball at Oklahoma State. OSU has an all-time record of 1,555 wins and 1,083 losses, equaling a .589 winning percentage. The Cowboys have made 25 NCAA Tournament appearances, including last season. Oklahoma State is in the sixth season under the direction of head coach Travis Ford, who is 104-64 at OSU.
About Oklahoma State
Oklahoma State returns four starters and its top-seven scorers from last season when the Cowboys went 24-9 and 13-5 in Big 12 Conference play. OSU finished third in the league, just one game behind Kansas and Kansas State. The Pokes were a No. 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament, but were upset by Oregon in the second round.
OSU's five probable starters are senior Markel Brown, juniors Michael Cobbins, Le'Bryan Nash & Brian Williams, and sophomore Marcus Smart. Between them, they have 219 career starts in a Cowboy uniform. Smart is the preseason Big 12 Player of the Year and a consensus preseason first-team All-American. Brown is a preseason All-Big 12 selection, while Nash and Cobbins both received votes for the all-league team. Smart, Brown and Nash are the top-three returning scorers in the Big 12 Conference.

Article By Mike Chambers - December 22, 2007
As the amount of data residing on our home network continues to increase, I began to take a serious look at our backup strategy. Although our network consists of four Windows-based personal computers, regular backups are only taken of my PC, which doubles as the primary test system during graphics card reviews.
During a recent visit to Costco, I noticed that Western Digital's My Book Premium Edition External Hard Drive was on sale. Hundreds of the 500GB models were lined along the aisles. I picked one up and placed it in the shopping cart.
A 500GB hard drive sits inside a nice looking book-shaped enclosure. The drive has 16MB of cache, rotates at 7,200RPM and a data access time of 8.9ms. The maximum data transfer rate is 480Mbps.
Accessories include USB and FireWire cables, an AC adapter with power cord and an installation guide.
Relevant software is pre-loaded on the hard drive, which was formatted to use the FAT32 file system. The included software can be downloaded from Western Digital's web site, but the My Book Premium Edition Software, which includes WD Backup (pictured below), requires that the product be registered first.
Although an on/off button is present on the front of the unit, the device is programmed to turn itself on and off with the PC. Western Digital's Safe Shutdown technology prevents the drive from powering down until all data has been written.
The on/off switch serves multiple purposes as the inner ring indicates the amount of available space. Both rings are active when the drive spins, which produce a variety of eye-catching lighting effects.
Hardware and Operating System
File Copy
The first test consisted of copying the Crysis demo (1.8GB) to the My Book and other internal hard drives. Although it took twice as long to copy the Crysis demo to the My Book, its performance was impressive for an external hard drive. The My Book performs well when data is saved as one large file.
Directory Copy
A second test consisted of copying the Temporary Internet Files directory, which consisted of 28 folders and 9,498 files. In this test, the performance of the My Book was well behind the internal hard drives.
HD Tach Results
Next up are results from HD Tach, which measures hard drive performance. Results for access time, CPU utilization, average read, and burst speed are shown below.
WD Backup offers basic backup features, but others may want to use a full-featured backup package like Acronis True Image Home.
With version 10 of True Image Home, the 8.14GB worth of data on my C: drive was compressed to 3.3GB. The file was then copied to the My Book as a backup.
Western Digital's My Book External Hard Drive is a great implementation of existing hardware. Combined with a USB 2.0 connection, the drive achieves an average read of 36MB/sec. under HD Tach. The unit is easy to install, quiet, and doubles as an attractive furniture piece.

Corsair Carbide 200R Case Review
From the Carbide to Obsidian series, Corsair has a wide variety of cases in their stable, but one option was conspicuous by its absence: a truly budget-friendly solution for entry level gamers. At a mere $60, the new Carbide 200R fits this bill perfectly while still offering quality and a wide ranging feature set.

Up until recently, Nikon's line-up has had many gaps. This past March though, they released their P5000 advanced point-and-shoot camera alongside their D40x D-SLR. Today we are taking a look at the latter, which turns out to be a fantastic offering for those looking to take the plunge into high-quality photography.
As we saw on the previous page, if you have a tripod, then using a lower ISO at night, along with a slower shutter, can result in a spectacular image. However, there comes a time when a higher ISO is absolutely necessary. The following pictures show off the quality of each available ISO mode on the camera. Unlike Nikon's higher-end D-SLRs, the D40x only offers ISO ranges of 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 and HI-1.
Please note that throughout these images, Noise Reduction was turned on. Ideally, it should have been turned off, but I did not realize this until later in the testing. I'd be willing to assume most would have that option enabled regardless. Further noise cleanup can be had in post-processing.
As expected, ISO noise is kept at reasonable level all the way up to 800, but I normally try to refrain from ever going higher. 1600 and HI-1 as seen below is filled to the brim with noise.
Like Nikon's Coolpix point-and-shoots, there are a variety of color-modes available to choose from. You can of course tweak your own, but for those who don't want to dabble, there are six presets available: Normal, Softer, Vivid, More Vivid, Portrait and Black-and-White.
Normal is likely the setting many will use most often, but for even richer color, Vivid is a good choice. The Softer setting is an acquired taste, but it does exactly what it says. It gives the effect of the picture being slightly out of focus. More Vivid is too bright, in my opinion. Portrait is similar to Softer in that it results in softer tones, but not to the same extent. Black-and-White explains itself.
For our last image, the normal setting was used without a flash, which always results in more natural colors. Of course, these shots normally require a tripod in order to allow sufficient light into the sensor without resulting in a blur.
With all of our image tests out of the way, let's move onto our final thoughts.

The day after the Cup, 6 p.m.: Recap of Bruins talk on The Big Show
|06.16.11 at 6:00 pm ET
Glenn Ordway, Michael Holley and Mikey Adams were given plenty of material for Thursday's Big Show when the Bruins won the Stanley Cup the night before. Here's a brief recap of all the Bruins talk from 2-6 p.m:
–The guys played an awesome compilation of the four championship calls from the Bruins, Red Sox, Celtics and Patriots from the last decade.
–Jack Edwards shared a story about seeing a "soft" Henrik Sedin T-shirt for sale at the Vancouver airport.
–NBC sideline reporter Pierre McGuire told the guys that he believed the Canucks had chemistry issues in Game 7, saying ""Coaches overreacting. I thought in the case of Alain Vingeault when the frustration set in, and the composure and the focus and basically every one of the Bruins players acting as coach. It was really an interesting dynamic to witness."
–Kevin Paul Dupont of The Boston Globe called in from Minnesota when he was returning from Vancouver. He said he thought the hit on Nathan Horton in Game 3 signaled the turning point in the finals but perhaps not for the reasons you'd think. "I didn't see it so much as, 'Let's do it for Horton.' There's always that element no matter what the injury, but I had a sense of a couple of things in the immediate minutes after it, which was Vancouver began to play small. They got afraid. Their skilled players were afraid because you know in those instances there has to be a payback."

In a modern day equivalent of a fiddling Nero, the military junta in Myanmar remains indifferent to the colossal tragedy that has befallen the country. Without bothering about the rescue and rehabilitation of those affected by the last week's catastrophic cyclone that is estimated to have claimed close to 100,000 lives and left about 1.5 million people homeless on the Irrawaddy delta, the Generals busied themselves with preparations for the referendum on the new draft constitution. Ignoring appeals from around the world to let in aid and aid workers, the ruling junta wants to handle the relief work on its own. The Myanmar administration is clearly not equal to a task of this magnitude and it remains unconcerned about the imminent threat of an epidemic outbreak in the affected region. More than ever before, the insidious consequences of the lack of democratic accountability of the leadership are beginning to show up. It is shocking that an administration can be so callous about responding to a humanitarian crisis of the magnitude Myanmar is facing. Instead, it was hell-bent on going through with a referendum meant to prevent Nobel laureate and opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi from contesting elections or holding public office, and to provide for a statutory role for the armed forces in the proposed Parliament. Despite the huge loss of lives, the referendum was held as scheduled on Saturday except in places where the devastation has been extensive.
Driven by the sole objective of legitimising itself and clinging to power, it has remained unmoved by the fact that people are dying without access to food and medicines. What confidence will the international community have if it is asked to hand over all the aid to the Myanmar army and allow it to take care of the relief and rehabilitation of the cyclone-hit population? Unless the Non-Government Organisations and aid workers from donor countries are directly involved in the distribution of aid and provision of immediate assistance to the flood-ravaged people, the millions of dollars in aid and relief may get deflected away from the target group. It is time the international community found ways of putting an end to the suffering of the Burmese people and clearing the decks for an early return to democracy. In this exercise, its neighbours, especially China and India, besides the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), have a major role to play. The junta must be persuaded to see reason before it is too late.

Phoenix police: Body found that matches shooter
PHOENIX A landscaper in the Phoenix suburb of Mesa found a body in bushes early Thursday that matches the suspect in an office shooting that killed a man and critically wounded another, police said.
The rented Kia Optima sedan that Arthur Douglas Harmon, 70, was likely driving was also found nearby in a parking lot, authorities said at a news conference. The person who was found died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound and a handgun was also found, police said.
Harmon drew a gun and shot both men at the end of a mediation session Wednesday morning at an office building in north-central Phoenix, police said.
Steve Singer, 48, died hours later. Mark Hummels, 43, with the Phoenix law firm Osborn Maledon, was in critical condition. A 32-year-old woman was also shot but suffered non-life threatening injuries.
"We believe the two men were the targets. It was not a random shooting," said Sgt. Tommy Thompson, a Phoenix police spokesman.
Harmon also shot at someone who tried to follow him to get his license plate number, authorities said.
"As he left the scene, an individual witness got in his own car and actually followed Harmon in his Optima, and he drove into a neighborhood and Harmon actually got out of his car and shot at that witness," Thompson said.
Singer was the CEO of Scottsdale-based Fusion Contact Centers LLC, which had hired Harmon to refurbish office cubicles at two call centers in California.
According to court documents, Harmon was scheduled to go to a law office in the building where the shooting took place for a settlement conference in a lawsuit he filed last April against Fusion.
Fusion said Harmon was paid nearly $30,000 under the $47,000 contract. But the company asked him to repay much of the money when it discovered that the cubicles could not be refurbished, according to the documents.
Harmon argued Fusion hung him out to dry by telling him to remove and store 206 "worthless" work stations after the mix-up was discovered. Harmon said Fusion then told him that the company decided to use a competitor.
Harmon's lawsuit had sought payment for the remainder of the contract, $20,000 in damages and reimbursement for storage fees and legal costs.
Hummels represented Fusion in the lawsuit. Harmon represented himself.
The shooting took place in the building where Pro tempore Judge Ira Schwartz, who scheduled the mediation meeting, has an office.
The response to the shooting centered on the building - home to insurance, medical and law offices - but soon spread to a north-Phoenix home and a central-Phoenix high-rise office building where Hummels' office is located.
SWAT teams and two armored vehicles surrounded the house. Police served a search warrant to enter the house, which county property records show was sold by Harmon to his son last year for $26,000.
For a time, officers used a megaphone to ask Harmon to surrender, believing he might be inside the home.
Lois Allen, who has lived across the street from the Harmon home for about eight years, said she was startled to see all the police cars in the neighborhood.

New approaches to reprocessing of oxide nuclear fuel
- B. F. Myasoedov,
- Yu. M. Kulyako
- … show all 2 hide
Dissolution of UO2, U3O8, and solid solutions of actinides in UO2 in subacid aqueous solutions (pH 0.9–1.4) of Fe(III) nitrate was studied. Complete dissolution of the oxides is attained at a molar ratio of ferric nitrate to uranium of 1.6. During this process actinides pass into the solution in the form of U(VI), Np(V), Pu(III), and Am(III). In the solutions obtained U(VI) is stable both at room temperature and at elevated temperatures (60 °C), and at high U concentrations (up to 300 mg mL−1). Behavior of fission products corresponding to spent nuclear fuel of a WWER-1000 reactor in the process of dissolution the simulated spent nuclear fuel in ferric nitrate solutions was studied. Cs, Sr, Ba, Y, La, and Ce together with U pass quantitatively from the fuel into the solution, whereas Mo, Tc, and Ru remain in the resulting insoluble precipitate of basic Fe salt and do not pass into the solution. Nd, Zr, and Pd pass into the solution by approximately 50 %. The recovery of U or jointly U + Pu from the dissolution solution of the oxide nuclear fuel is performed by precipitation of their peroxides, which allows efficient separation of actinides from residues of fission products and iron.

Divorce goes digital. What are your best options for an online diy divorce in South Africa?
According to statistics, one in two marriages in South African end in divorce. During 2007 there were close to 40000 divorces in South Africa, which is a tragic reality. When you find yourself in a contested divorce (where you and your spouse can't agree on matters such as finances, custody, division of your assets etc) the best option would be to seek the services of an attorney.
When the divorce is uncontested, i.e. where you do agree with your spouse on the disputes mentioned above, you basically have two choices:
1) Go and see an attorney;
This can be costly as some attorneys charge fees of up to R 5 000 for an uncontested divorce. A typical divorce can be quite bitter as every element of the agreement is disputed by both parties, so legal costs can easily spiral out of control. Some attorneys' bills can run into tens of thousands of Rands.
2) Use an online DIY divorce service such as eDivorce.co.za
This is your best option, developed by a South African web development company eSplash in consultation with a number of family law attorneys, eDivorce.co.za launched an online divorce do-it-yourself service, which can probably be regarded as one of the most comprehensive divorce information sites of anything you need to know about the divorce process in South Africa. eDivorce.co.za offers an excellent way of minimising legal fees and the emotional stress attached to divorce. The process is simplified and takes the sting out of the divorce process. Provided, however that both parties are in basic agreement over the financial settlement, custody issues and that it is an uncontested divorce.
The edivorce.co.za service makes South Africa's divorce system more accessible and more affordable to the general public by affording the option to start the divorce process online. With people struggling to make ends meet during the credit crunch we face, eDivorce.co.za is a definite alternative for couples seeking an uncontested divorce in South Africa. Divorce is a process that few people undertake without serious consideration of its consequences. In offering such a service, eDivorce notes on its website that the goal is not to sanction or promote divorce but to provide a simple online service for making the divorce process less expensive and stressful.
There is a clearly an upswing in European countries as well as in the US in the number of online Divorces. In the United Kingdom online Divorces have increased by well over 55% in the past year and more and more people are taking DIY divorce route to save money.
In addition eDivorce.co.za also offers valuable information on other aspects of divorce, such as its physiological effects, information on counselling, custody, maintenance and domestic violence disputes, these are all freely available on the web page and really valuable information to have and by far the most comprehensive divorce resource for anything you need to know about Divorce and its consequences. Users are also able to read and purchase books on divorce on the site and follow a blog on divorce issues, rebuilding your life, relationship tips and ways to cope with the emotional stresses caused by divorce.
Deciding to divorce your spouse should not be taken lightly and should be the last option. It is of vital importance to do whatever you can to save your marriage. Society is built on a healthy family structure and therefore you have to make sure that there is no other option available when you make a decision to divorce your spouse, it is not only you that will suffer, but also all those close to you, especially your children.

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued notice, returnable in four weeks, to Meghalaya's East Khasi Hills District Magistrate and the Superintendent of Police, seeking reports on an incident in which a person was forced to eat human excreta for allegedly practising witchcraft.
The Commission was taking suo motu cognisance of media reports, which stated that the gram panchayat of Wahkdait gave the punishment to Noping Khongsit, based on reports from four girls of the village. The girls alleged he appeared in their dreams and frightened them with snakes. Believing their statements, the local 'dorbar' declared him guilty of practising witchcraft, held him responsible for scaring the girls and punished him by making him eat human excreta, the reports said. The Commission observed that the incident, if true, was a serious violation of the right of the individual to live with dignity.

Colts' Lefeged not held after hearing
Indianapolis Colts safety Joe Lefeged was released from jail Tuesday following his weekend arrest in Washington on a gun possession charge.
TROUBLE WITH THE LAWThe 2013 offseason was a rough one for NFL players and the law. Take a look back at the players arrested before camp ever opened.
Lefeged was arrested during a traffic stop after police said they found a semi-automatic pistol in the car in which he was riding. Police say they also smelled what appeared to be marijuana and found an open bottle containing vodka and orange juice in the car's center console. Lefeged and another passenger were taken into custody after they tried to run from officers, and the driver got away, authorities have said.
D.C. Superior Court Magistrate Judge Frederick Sullivan ordered Lefeged released on personal recognizance after a brief hearing in which the third-year pro appeared in court in an orange jail uniform. The decision came against the request of prosecutors, who asked to keep him behind bars as the case moves toward a possible grand jury indictment.
Lefeged, 25, has been charged with carrying a licensed pistol outside the home, a felony.
"This is a case involving a traffic stop, indicia of drug use, flight from police, recovery of an open container," prosecutor Ben Schrader told the judge.
Lefeged's lawyer, David Schertler, asked that his client be released, saying the Colts have considered him "an exemplary citizen" during his time with the team.
Police say the Chevy Camaro convertible was pulled over in northeast Washington just after midnight Saturday for speeding and because a backseat passenger was standing upright in the car. Police say the driver stopped but then drove away, nearly striking the officers who had surrounded the car. Lefeged and another passenger later ran but were caught in different locations, police say.
Officers say in a police report that they smelled burnt marijuana, though Schertler says no traces of the drug were found. They also say they found an open container of alcohol in the center console cup holder and a semi-automatic pistol that the prosecutor says was loaded with one round in the chamber and 12 in the clip. Paperwork in the car showed that Lefeged bought the gun for about $900 this year, police said; it was spotted "in plain view" beneath the passenger's seat.
Police initially filed various other charges against Lefeged related to the incident, but prosecutors are only proceeding with the guns charge.
Colts spokesman Avis Roper said the team would have nothing more to say about Lefeged's arrest because it is a pending legal matter.
Lefeged, who grew up in Montgomery County, Md., and played for Rutgers in college, is entering his third NFL season. He was signed by the Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2011 and started four games last season.

"Buddy brings a tremendous amount of Division I experience to our staff," said Powers. "His recruiting ties and knowledge of our opponents we play will be great asset to our staff."
In seven seasons directing the UNLV program from 2004-10 he posted a mark of 202-217 earning his 200th career victory this past season. The 202 wins ranks second among Rebel baseball coaches. He became just the fourth UNLV baseball coach to reach 100 wins and was the fastest to reach 100 victories.
He guided the 2004 and 2005 teams to Mountain West Conference Tournament titles and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Both seasons the Rebels had were aided by MWC Tournament MVP's. The 2004 Rebel squad also captured the regular-season MWC title. Following the 2005 season he was named the MWC Coach of the Year after the Rebels went 23-7 in league play and 35-29 overall.
During his time at UNLV he has produced 21 all-conference players, two players of the year and two All-Americans along with having 23 players selected in the Major League Baseball Draft. He coached 2008 MWC Player of the Year Xavier Scruggs, who hit 20 home runs and drove in 65 as he also earned Louisville Slugger second-team All-America honors. In 2004 Eric Nielsen was named the MWC Player of the Year after leading the Rebels to the regular season and tournament titles.
Not only producing on the field 93 times he placed a player on the MWC Academic team.
He spent two seasons on the UNLV staff as recruiting coordinator and hitting instructor prior to taking over as the head coach on June 9, 2003. He helped the Rebels hit .324 as a team in 2002 and 2003 producing the MWC's batting champion in his first season.
The Sacramento, Calif. native spent four years at Tulane University as the third base coach and hitting instructor prior to joining the UNLV staff. He helped the Green Wave reach the school's first-ever College World Series in 2001.
Before coaching at Tulane he was an assistant coach for five years at American River Junior College in Sacramento, California. He also worked as an associate scout for the San Francisco Giants from 1994-97. In 1992-93 he was an assistant coach at Cosumnes River College.
He received a bachelor's degree from Sacramento State in business administration and a master's in sport management from Chico State.

Who was the most hated character among fans while DS9 was airing?

Re: Who was the most hated character among fans while DS9 was airing?
I didn't like Kira for most of the first season. She was too hard and brusque, and it seemed like that was all that she was. Then "Duet" aired, and all of her character's potential, positive and negative, became clear. She's now one of my favorite characters. Kira's struggle over seven seasons to become better than who she was at the beginning of the show is one reason why DS9 is so terrific. I think "Duet" opened the door to that.

Demand rollback of fee hike in professional courses
Counselling session in varsity held up for two hours
Seek filling of vacancies in teacher posts
TIRUPATI: Several student unions hit the roads in Tirupati on Wednesday with a range of demands including rollback of the fee hike in professional courses and filling of vacant teaching positions.
Taking exception to the hike made in the tuition fee for engineering, MBA and MCA courses, the consortium of students unions disrupted the counselling session for two hours on Sri Venkateswara University campus by laying siege to the building. When the leaders tried to barge into the centre amid heavy sloganeering, policemen on guard swooped down on the leaders and housed them in SVU police station for an hour.
Students Federation of India (SFI) State vice-president S. Jayachandra flayed the State government for citing inflation as an excuse to increase the fee, adding that it would burden the professional college students to the tune of Rs.75 crore.
The leaders feared that the increase of Rs.2,700 and Rs.6,700 for Category 'A' and 'B' respectively could further bring down the number of aspirants for professional courses.
Teaching positions
Students led by Girijana Vidyarthi Samakhya besieged the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams' administrative building with the demand to fill up the teaching positions lying vacant for long. The students also blamed the TTD for not providing hostel accommodation to SC, ST, BC and minority students.
Meanwhile, Tribal Students Federation has alleged that allotment of seats in the TTD's Sri Padmavathi Women's Degree College and hostel was being made only to students recommended by political bigwigs, leaving scores of students waiting in the corridors for almost a week.
Also, the college was flayed for demanding payment of mess bills from SC/ST students every month, a procedure not practised in any of the other TTD-run colleges.
