Political Conventions
convention, in U.S. politics, a gathering of delegates to nominate candidates for elective office and to formulate party policy. They are held at the national, state, and local levels.
Organization and Characteristic Features
The organization of a national convention is the responsibility of the party's national committee, which begins making arrangements for the accommodation of hundreds of delegates and the administration of the convention at least a year in advance. Delegates have been chosen by a variety of methods, including primary elections, party caucuses, state and local conventions, or state and local committee meetings, but the majority are now chosen by primaries. Although the two parties follow the same basic pattern of basing representation on the population of the state and the party's strength within the state, the Democratic party introduced a series of reforms after the 1968 convention that modified its traditional delegate selection system. Quotas, assuring proportional representation for women, youths, and blacks, were used for the 1972 convention but later modified in favor of a general commitment to gender equality and minority representation. Balloting at both the Republican and Democratic conventions is by states. The unit rule, forcing all of a state's votes to be cast by the majority for one candidate, was abolished by the Democrats in 1968; it had been in effect since 1832. Although today the acceptance speech of the nominee is the recognized climax of the convention, it was not until Franklin Delano Roosevelt flew to Chicago to accept the Democratic nomination in 1932 that a nominee accepted the nomination in person.
State conventions for nominating candidates were first held in the early 19th cent. The first national convention was held by the Anti-Masonic party in Baltimore in 1831. Formerly the candidates for president and vice president were selected by a party caucus, i.e. a meeting of influential members of Congress, and they favored their colleagues. In 1832 the Democrats nominated Andrew Jackson at a national convention. The Republican party held its first national convention in 1856, when John Frémont was chosen as the presidential candidate.
Candidates were often selected only after many ballots had been taken. This was especially true of the Democratic party, which, until 1936, had required successful nominees to win two thirds of the delegates' votes. Thus, Stephen Douglas was nominated on the 59th ballot in 1860, Woodrow Wilson on the 46th ballot in 1912, and John W. Davis on the 103d ballot in 1924. The difficulty of gaining agreement on a candidate at conventions led to a unique feature of the American political scene: the dark horse—a candidate with little or no formal support before the opening of the convention, who succeeded in gaining the nomination. Since 1960, however, national conventions have tended to ratify front-runner candidates increasingly determined by delegates won in primaries and state caucuses, rather than select from among evenly matched rivals. National political conventions have thus changed from their initial function as nominating mechanisms into mobilizers of party energy for the upcoming campaign.

Angelic, I wondered if you were out too. Our power came back on Saturday night about 9 after going off midnight Wednesday. Then it was off again Sunday afternoon for about 4 hours. mr. gracie was po'd, he missed all of the football games this weekend, between the power being off and our cable disconnected from the pole. (cable gets fixed tomorrow) I have to call the phone company tomorrow and get the line raised or a tall truck will take out the phone line. What a mess!!! Lucky for us, we could get in our RV to cook and really get warm.

To celebrate National Nurses Week, the nursing faculty and students of State Fair Community College�s Bi-level Associate Degree Nursing program would like to pay tribute to the nearly 29 million registered nurses in the nation and specifically to our 957 associate degree graduates and 1,091 practical nursing graduates.�

Is that seat taken?
I love to laugh and watch comedies or go see a stand up comedy show. I can be pretty sarcastic and appreciate someone who can be the same lol. I'm inquisitive and love to research anything I'm interested in. Maybe that's the journalist in me. I'm a foodie, so I love staying abreast of the latest food trends (gotta love a great food truck!) and new restaurants in town. I also enjoy cooking and watching the Food Network or shows like Man vs Food. I consider myself easy going and low maintenance. I'm not the type to run out to the mall every weekend (I save that for a few shopping sprees throughout the year lol) and I wear little to no makeup. I'm simply me :) I'm looking for a guy who can be a great friend first and possibly more. I want a guy who doesn't adhere to strict standards and is pretty easy going. Ideally, he'd love sports (football, Go Ravens!), movies and live music. He'd also enjoy traveling and discovering new restaurants/lounges. If he loved ATCQ that would be a big plus lol. He'd value education, hard work and family values. I'm really close to my family, so hopefully he'd be a family-oriented guy too. Finally, he'd strive to keep God first in his life. If that's you, you know what to do :)
Cooking , Dining out , Music and concerts , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Watching sports
Aerobics, Cycling, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
Middle of the Road
Any type of lounge or venue featuring live music, poetry, open mic. Also any place that plays real hip hop and neo-soul. I'm a foodie so an eclectic menu gets my attention.
The Ravens (football in general), SNL, A Tribe Called Quest, Independent Films, Wines from South America/South Africa/Italy, macaroni and cheese, food shows on TV, non-conformity, green tea, the color purple (the movie too), and beagles

In John 1:1, it reads:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (KJV)
A strange passage. Here, the Word, that is, Jesus, is claiming to be his own father.
The bible defies the imagination.
Views: 7
That's not at all an unusual statement since it's a foundational part of the Christian doctrine that Jesus and God were the same being, only in different forms. Jesus is the "son" of God in the way that Boba Fett was the "son" of Jango Fett (for those not into Star Wars, Boba Fett was a clone of Jango Fett, the former raised like a son by the latter). So Jesus was a human-form clone of God, reintegrated back into God after his mortal death.
Yes, it IS silly, but not a bad story, really. If taken for its merits as a story, it's pretty imaginative for 2,000 years ago.

More News from Agence France-Presse
SYDNEY – Shocked doctors had to perform emergency surgery on a man in the Australian capital Canberra after he lodged a 10 centimeter (four-inch) steel fork inside his penis for sexual pleasure.
The bizarre incident was considered so unusual that it was written up as a case report in a recent issue of the International Journal of Surgery.
According to the paper "An Unusual Urethral Foreign Body," the 70-year-old arrived at the emergency department of Canberra Hospital with a bleeding penis "following self-insertion of a fork into the urethra to achieve sexual gratification".
It said he had put the dining fork inside 12 hours prior "for autoerotic stimulation" but it became stuck.
Baffled doctors called it a rare and unusual incident. The fork was not visible and "multiple retrieval methods were contemplated".
Success was achieved using forceps and "copious lubrication" and the man, who was put under general anaesthesia, was sent home. It did not say when the incident occurred.
"The motives for insertion of a variety of objects are difficult to comprehend," the doctors said.
"This case warrants discussion given the great management challenge faced by the oddity and infrequency with which a fork is encountered in the penile urethra."
The paper said only a handful of foreign body insertions into the lower urinary tract had been detailed over the last nine years.
It went on to cite medical literature listing other strange objects found inside parts of the body, including needles, pencils, wire, toothbrushes, batteries, light bulbs, thermometers and plants and vegetables.
"The practice manifests primarily during states of pathological masturbation, substance abuse and intoxication and as a result of psychological compounders," the case study said.
"Autoerotic stimulation with the aid of self-inserted urethral foreign bodies has been existent since time immemorial and has presented an unusual but known presentation to urologists."
It said death could occur through infection if people delay seeking medical attention due to embarrassment.

Plastics sector prefers regulation over ban
MANILA, Philippines—The plastics industry sees some negative impact from local governments' moves to regulate the use of plastic, such as in the case of Quezon City, but the recycling industry may benefit from the same, an industry leader said in a phone interview.
Crispian Lao, spokesperson for the Philippine Plastics Industry Association, said that the plastic bags subsector is just one part of the plastics industry in the Philippines. The subsector employs 175,000 people out of the 650,000 workers living off the total industry.
"The good thing about regulation like in Quezon City, which regulated the thickness and such, is that it may bring opportunities for the recycling sector even if there would be a negative effect on the plastic bag subsector. It's better than an outright ban," said Lao.
"(Quezon City), at least, still allows the public to get a plastic bag for a minimal fee (P2 per bag regardless of size) or something else like paper."
Quezon City's restriction on the use of plastic bags starts September 1.
If, for instance, a consumer is buying a kilo of rice, the buyer will not be forced to use paper because there is an option to buy a plastic bag, which may be more convenient in such a case, he said. Consumers can also bring old plastic bags to retail outlets to exchange for newer, thicker plastic bags.
Quezon City is also pushing for recycling, which is key to waste management, said Lao, adding this is the more scientific and enlightened approach as done elsewhere in the world because plastic is completely recyclable.
"The plastics ban is ill advised and offers no benefit to the people. It is just politically appealing. It is also bad actually for the environment because it results in more paper use which requires the cutting of trees, and the use of more water and power for production," he said.
Lao said people have been made to believe that plastic is to blame for floods.
"Many areas in Muntinglupa and other areas are still flooded up to now despite their plastic ban. The real reason is our refusal to responsibly dispose of our trash, aside from our old sewers, lost manholes and a broken garbage collection and disposal system," he said.
If these are the real reasons, he said the solution is not a plastic ban but the enforcement of waste segregation.
"Even if we ban plastic throughout the Philippines, we will still have floods and we will still have a lot of trash because we refuse to see the obvious solution which unfortunately means each of us must work and do our share. The ban is our escape but it will not work," he said.
In part, the Quezon City regulation calls for thicker plastic bags. It also encourages people to exchange their old plastic bags for a new one. If none is offered for replacement, a P2 charge will be imposed.
Discounts will also be encouraged to be given to buyers who bring their own bags, whether plastic or not.

yep , have good functionalities

Finishing the theme! I don't know when it's time to stop adding functionalities to my theme! I'm working on my first theme since 7 months ago but I can't submit it yet
Haha – I know this well! I've been developing software since the 80s, and the first (and most valuable) lesson I ever learned was the reason for version numbers. It's impossible to get everything into version 1.0. You have to cut yourself off somewhere.
I tend to want to develop things by feeling. That is, "I'll know when it's right." But, that never works. Make a feature list for v1.0 and a feature list for v2.0, but do it before you even begin work on v1.0. That'll save you.
Thanks Scott
I agree with you. Your advice is what I need to save me from myself But somehow I think its very important to start with a great theme as your first work on a competitive market like themeforest.
Believe me, I'm targeting a place in the first two rows of the populars page (Of course if I finally submit it for the review )

Patrice Bergeron 'under observation' in hospital after playing through injuries
|06.26.13 at 11:07 am ET
Immediately after Monday night's heartbreaking Game 6 loss that handed the Stanley Cup to the Blackhawks, Patrice Bergeron re-entered the hospital and remains there, the team announced Wednesday morning during break-up day at TD Garden.
Bergeron announced after the game that he was playing with a broken rib, torn cartilage and torn muscle from earlier in the final before suffering a separated shoulder during Game 6. The team said Bergeron was "under observation" at a local hospital.
Brad Marchand, Bergeron's line-mate, spoke Wednesday about what it was like to watch Bergeron try and play through the injury in Game 6.
"You can't say enough about him," Marchand said. "He's such a warrior. The fact he was able to play the whole game, every time I came to the bench, I was kind of nervous about him. I kind of watched him and I could see the pain and agony he was in. It was unbelievable to see him play through that. It just gives you that much more respect for him."
Rich Peverley added, "It's hard not to be in awe of him, as a player and a man."

Knights off and setting good tone
Bob St. John
write the author
May 01, 2014
The University Liggett boys' and girls' track and field teams finally competed in their first meet of the season last week.
The boys finished first, beating Lenawee Christian and Ann Arbor Greenhills, while the girls finished in third.
"It was a perfect day for racing and competing last Thursday when the Knights took to the track for their first official meet at Greenhills," head coach Lindsey Bachman said.
The Knights' top scorers in the meet on the boys' team were juniors Mason Demsey and Will Gilbert, followed by Andrew Lohman and Will Loner.
The girls' top scorers where freshmen Tinsley Glenn and Amelia Doetsch, followed by sophomores Julia Zehetmair and Megan DesMadryl.
Starting the meet with a commanding performance in the boys' 3,200-relay, winning by more than 30 seconds with a time of 9:29, were Demsey, freshman Christian deRuiter, Loner, and anchored by Gilbert.
"They ran a time that ranks close to one of our team's fastest times from last year and puts them in a good position to go after the all-time school," Bachman said.
Freshmen Tinsley Glenn and Amelia Doetsch swept the girls 100- and 300-hurdles, and a the boys' 800-dash was won by Mason Dempsey in his debut, while freshman Christian deRutier placed third.
Both Demsey and deRuiter came into the season with terrific fitness and great natural running ability.
Being new to track and field, both have a ton of potential to reach high levels of success over the next few years.
Junior Will Gilbert and freshman T.J. Dulac finished first and second in the boys' 3,200-run.
Strong scoring performances in all relays, and top finishers in shot were Isaiah Hines Bailey, Patrick Bernas, and George Thanasas, and high jump, Zehetmair.
Other boys who earned points were Nick Brusilow in the 110-hurdles, posting a second-place time of 20.24, and the 800-relay team of Andrew Lohman, Bernas, Lone and Fair won with a time of 1:44.46.
The team of Nick Rivera, Brusilow, Anthony Garvey and Trevor Jones took second with a time of 1:56.04.
Gilbert also placed second to earn three points in the 1,600-run, posting a time of 5:11.
In the 400-dash, Thanasas, Brusilow, Garvey and Fair took second with a time of 52.53 and the duo of Demsey and deRuiter placed second and fourth in the 400-dash with times of 56.27 and 58.30, respectively.
Lohman was third in the 200-dash with a time of 26.80 to round out the Knights' scorers in the meet.
For the girls, Emma Streberger, Emma Shell, Taylor and DesMadryl took second in the 400-relay, turning in a time of 1:02.00, and Zehetmair was fourth in the 400-dash with a time of 1:15.16 to earn points.
They run in a MIAC meet May 6.

Welcome to A Fair Tax on Flying – the campaign to reduce the UK's Air Passenger Duty (APD). With a general election less than a year away, it has never been more important to keep the pressure up on the Government to lower this harmful tax. Please read on to discover why APD is so damaging for the UK.
Find out more about our new Scrap the Tax on Family Flights Campaign here.
News Update!
In the 2014 Autumn Statement Chancellor George Osborne announced that APD will scrapped on children's flights (for under 12s from 1st May 2015 and under 16s from 1st March 2016).
Read our full statement here.
We believe APD is making UK goods and services more expensive, discouraging inbound tourists and investment and making the family holiday abroad and visiting friends and relatives overseas less affordable. That's why A Fair Tax on Flying is campaigning for reform of APD.
Research published by PwC shows that significantly reducing or abolishing APD would provide an immediate and lasting boost to growth and not cost the Exchequer a penny! In light of this new analysis, we are campaigning for Government action on APD.
Over 200,000 people have now written to their local MP about APD. If you're a UK resident why not tell your MP directly what you think? Find your MP here. Thanks for visiting the site.
A Fair Tax on Flying campaign has set out five tests against which we believe policy-making on APD changes should be judged. These are:
- Ensuring UK aviation is globally competitive: APD is the highest departure tax anywhere in the world. We would encourage the Government to look at our European rivals – and what levels of equivalent departure tax our closest competitors are levying – as a gauge of the kind of levels that would make the UK more globally competitive.
- Ongoing evaluation of the impact of APD across the entirety of the British Isles, Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland: Policy decisions around APD must be framed within the context of changes in departure taxes in neighbouring nations and the effect that these will undoubtedly have upon Britain's competitiveness by comparison.
- Evidence-based policy-making: The Government should undertake rigorous dynamic modelling so that the consequences of APD changes across all sectors of the economy and British society are fully quantified and understood.
- Delivering consistency and fairness: APD should be judged on how it impacts the least well-off and those whose need for aviation is considered a necessity. For example, the impact of 'double-APD' on domestic flights and the ongoing high cost for Diaspora communities, despite planned changes to take effect in 2015, should be examined more thoroughly and resolved.
- Taking a long-term perspective: The Government should be encouraged to take a long-term approach to APD policy-making, assessing the impacts of APD changes across an entire Parliament and according to the Government's own measures of Tax Policy.

The Mumbai police will set up a special helpline dedicated to victims of sexual assault and abuse. If the victim calls helpline number 103, a woman police officer will go to her house and record the complaint, the city's new police commissioner Rakesh Maria announced on Wednesday.
"Victims feel uncomfortable to come to the police station in cases of sexual assault. Now their complaint will be recorded in their homes in the presence of their family members," Mr Maria said while announcing a slew of measures to boost the security of women in the city.
The police are also planning to improve night patrolling and set up mobile patrol vans near girls' schools and colleges. "The vans will also patrol approach roads to railway stations, temples and shopping areas'. The vans will be exclusively dedicated to women's security," Mr Maria said.
In a bid to crack down on criminals, Mr Maria also said that all police stations and the city crime branch will put up a list of the Top Ten Criminals in their area and make a concerted effort to go after them.
"We have decided to go back to the basics when it comes to policing. We hope to boost the street presence of the police through the day," Mr Maria announced. Patrolling will be boosted in areas frequented by senior citizens. Drug peddlers will also be targeted, especially those near schools and colleges.
Mr Maria also announced that Missing Persons complaints can now be registered at any police station. It will be the responsibility of the police to ensure that it is transferred to the right police station," he said. The police have been instructed to avoid burking, or not registering crimes to bring down crime rates. "No one will be questioned about why crime has increased. We will be focusing on why crimes have not been solved," he said.
In an attempt to boost intelligence gathering, anti-terror cells will be set up at police stations. "These cells will work in tandem with the anti-terror squad so we can get tap a wider network of information," Mr Maria said.
Raj Thackeray meets Maria
Meanwhile the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray called on Mr Maria for around half an hour in the morning. "It was a courtesy call. He usually calls on the police commissioner,"Mr Maria told reporters. Mr Thackeray faces several criminal cases including three cases that were lodged three weeks ago during the party's violent anti-toll agitation.

Simon Sinek has been saying it for years: start by explaining the why of your business and you're more likely to earn loyal fans (ideally, the kind who buy things).
As he explains in his book 'Start With Why' (summed up nicely here), psychologically speaking, people have a need to belong, whether to a group, a cause or an ideology. It's why we become devoted fans of sports teams from cities we've never been to, feel hometown solidarity to where we were brought up and buy t-shirts to support our favourite bands.

This is my first written review. Have always been an avid reader but no product ever seemed to impress me to the point of penning down a review. Fortunately, I received a sample of this and tried it, which changes everything! Admittedly, I'm not a huge dabbler of facial masks. This is probably the third one I've ever tried. I'm thoroughly impressed! The mask is very thick, to the point of being slightly difficult to slap on in a hurry. When dried, it's quite the challenge to peel off especially if you didn't get an even and opaque layer on as suggested. I tried it for the first time this morning. When I first took it off, I noticed that my pores did appear smaller. Was rushing out of the house so I didn't take the time to notice the changes in my skin. Came home, popped into the shower and was blown away. My skin feels softer than I've ever felt it!! And the few spots I had on my forehead were almost completely gone. I'm in love! Definitely purchasing the full size.

Nothing particularly spectacular about this mask. No noticeable changes to my skin after using it, aside from new found dryness (either in terms of luminosity or in a reduction of blackheads). I've used it on and off for a few months, and have finally given up on it. It is always somewhat satisfying to peel off masks, although this one wasn't that great aside from this. It does takes a while to dry, which isn't an issue for me.

I got a sample of this a while ago and it isn't amazing but it isn't bad either. I am not a fan of peel masks so I already don't like it that much. But when I did use it, I noticed that it did lift some of my blackheads out and my skin felt pretty clean to me. I'm not going to go buy a full size of it though just because peel off masks like this one can cause some irritation on my skin.
I do think that this is a good mask though if you enjoy peel off masks and if you have a lot of blackheads. When I pulled it off, my pores looked smaller and there were less blackheads. I didn't breakout after using it either so that was nice as well. I feel like if you don't want to use pore strips or you can't find any you like this could be a good alternative to that. To me they seemed to do the same thing but the peel mask can get into every little spot better than a peel strip.

I love masks of every kind. My favorites are peeling masks. I have to use them once to twice a week.
Anyway, Boscia's luminizing black mask is my favorite from them. I think, yes it does hurt, but pain is gain right? It doesn't irritate my skin even though it hurts. No redness is left behind from it and it seems to brighten my skin. I can see all the blackheads (and some hairs - yes it's pretty strong) it removed. I feel that I've truly done some "deep cleaning" with this mask. However, with all clay-like masks, this is pretty trying, so you should moisturize afterwards. I have repurchased the mini one at least 6-7 times already. In my experience with this mask, YOU NEED TO APPLY IT VERY GENEROUSLY FOR IT TO BE EFFECTIVE.
I do think it is a bit pricey - so I wait until Sephora's Black Friday and get all the mini ones. My tip is after you finish using it, cut the top, and you can use the mask 2-3 more times. Amazing stuff.

I'm conflicted about this mask. For reference, I have extremely dry, sensitive skin due to illness so I was excited to try this because of it's claims of luminosity. I have relatively perfect skin (no blemishes, discoloration, pores, etc...) so I like to use masks to make sure it stays that way. Plus they're fun, you know? Now because I have such dry, sensitive skin I didn't apply this everywhere. I applied it in areas most likely to get congested like the center of the forehead, chin, nose, and center of the face. Now when I took it off, I didn't have a problem with my peach fuzz getting waxed off (phew!), maybe because I did the mask in pieces. However, it came off in patches and was a motherhugger to get off. Anyways, the aftereffect was my skin feeling very smooth. I didn't feel like it really detoxified and got no luminosity. Some of my dry patches were enhanced, although that may have been from rubbing to try to get it off. Overall, if you have minor problems with skin texture, I think you may like this. Otherwise, I think this is overpriced for what it is and there are way better masks out there.

The mask was really hard to rinse, get off. Really hard. It says that it is clay and I have used other clay masks and because this one was different, I was a little confused. The ingredients say it has something called polyvinyl alcohol. That is found in hairspray. It left my face pretty dry. I usually like Boscia, but I did not much like this mask.

This stuff hurts!!!!! Did remove all my little facial fuzz and some dead skin. did not make any obvious changes to my skin. Took such a long time to peel off. Did I mention it hurts ?

I wanted to try this mask because I use the black gel moisturizer and I LOVE it. But this mask was not easy to peel off. I spent 15 minutes in front of the mirror just trying to pick pieces of it off. However it did make my skin feel very smooth and detoxified. Luckily I didn't buy the mask and only tried the sample. I won't be purchasing this mask.

Luckily, I got a deluxe sample of this through my Sephora Beauty Insider Awards and didn't purchase it, but I wasn't really happy with this mask.
Boscia describes it as: "A groundbreaking, mineral-rich mask that peels off to deliver powerful detoxifying, purifying, and brightening effects."
My redness and breakouts had no noticeable changes, and my skin was definitely not brightened nor was it illuminated. I noticed some exfoliating effects, but this could have been achieved by my normal exfoliator.
The peel-off technology was satisfying for about 30 seconds, until there was black gunk everywhere. I got bored and opted to wash it off, which was both time-consuming and messy.
Look for the REN Glycolic Renewal Mask instead of this one, delivers amazing results for a similar price point.

Dancing Roots Farm
First time joining a CSA
By: Laura Pabian (Nov 2, 2011)
For years my sister told us to join a CSA. Almost a decade later we finally did it and we are so happy we did. It is exciting to pick up our share each week and learn what new vegetables we have received. I have learned and created many new recipes and it is wonderful to know where our food is coming from and how healthy it is for us. Thank you farmer Shari and farmer Bryan!

If I had a PS4 I'd certainly correct that and get the third game but I don't think that's going to happen for a while. It'll probably be on PS+ by the time I have a PS4
Also it's either smart timing or a coincidence that they release a new video on the same day that people were disappointed about the lack of a new Crackdown.

Multnomah County Library Taxing District Creation (November 2012)
This measure sought to create a taxing district specifically to fund the Multnomah County library system. If approved, the district levy would be set at a rate of $1.22 per $1,000 of assessed value. Currently the libraries are funded through renewable levies.[1] On August 2, the County Commission voted unanimously to place the taxing district question on the November ballot.[2]
Election results
|Measure 143
Election results from Multnomah County, Current Election Results
Text of measure
Language on the ballot:
|Shall there be a dedicated library district fund for Multnomah County library hours, services; rate limited to $1.24 per $1,000 assessed value beginning 2013?[3][4]
Those in favor of the permanent taxing district for the libraries stated at the commission meeting held before the vote to place the measure on the ballot that they saw the support of the renewable levy in May as a sign by county residents that they wanted to support library services. Also stating that temporary levies are too uncertain for the libraries which deserve a permanent tax.[1]
The city of Portland, through the Office of Management and Finance have stated that this would take away taxes from the city as well as from the Portland Children's Levy. This would be because property taxes are capped so if a new taxing district is created then less taxes will go to another source. They also stated that the tax increase would go towards the county general fund rather than to fund libraries in the county.[5]

- The all-new 2013 Ford Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid will offer up to an EPA-estimated 108 MPGe city, making it America's most fuel-efficient sedan by besting Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid by 5 MPGe
- Ford projects 19,000-plus hybrid/electric vehicle sales in the fourth quarter of this year, making it the company's best quarter for hybrids ever and besting its own previous hybrid vehicle sales record by more than 50 percent; more than half of hybrid sales this year expected to come in this period
- Fusion Energi delivers power of choice for leading fuel economy as Ford's fifth electrified vehicle launching in the last 13 months and the fifth powertrain for the all-new Fusion, recently voted Green Car of the Year by Green Car Journal
- Ford is seeing demand for fuel economy across its lineup as the brand ranks No. 1 in fuel economy customer satisfaction by J.D. Power and now beats Toyota for leading efficiency in every segment where both compete
The 2013 Ford Fusion – recently voted Green Car of the Year – just got greener as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency certified the new Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid at up to 108 MPGe, making it America's most fuel-efficient sedan.
Fusion Energi is the Ford brand's fifth electrified vehicle to launch in the past year and is expected to accelerate the company's record hybrid sales pace, including its highest monthly hybrid sales month ever in November. Ford is seeing demand for fuel economy across its lineup as the brand ranks No. 1 in fuel economy customer satisfaction by J.D. Power and now beats Toyota for leading efficiency in every segment where both compete.
The EPA also certified Fusion Energi to deliver up to 92 MPGe highway and a combined 100 MPGe – figures that could potentially help save customers an estimated $6,850 in fuel costs compared with an average new car over the course of five years."The Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid is the exclamation point for Ford's transformed lineup of fuel-efficiency leaders that now beats Toyota across the board," said Raj Nair, group vice president, Global Product Development.

I enjoyed my stay. The room was clean and up to date. The room was quiet and the temperature stayed comfortable.
horrible bed,great front desk
May 21, 2015
the bed makes the room and it was terrible, The room is to small for recliner next to bed, hard to get in and out. Dishwasher bottom is rusty.
Convenience store concept not explained at all, had to ask another guest who you pay to finf out its on the honor system, That's ok but having prices for the items would be helpful, so we would have a better idea how much we should put in the slot.
Comfortable bed and great service
May 19, 2015

Great stay, Great price

Rated 5 out of 5 by CapitalWife Finally found the perfect polo for me! I've tried polo from all brands and there is always something missing about them. Until I tried the polo from TB the other day, and I bought three! (Actually 4, got one for mom for mother's day too. :)) I found the holy grail of polo shirts! Love love love, love the details, the quality, the way the sleeves are not tight, and not-too-thick-not-too-thin fabric (thick enough to hide the bumps but thin to breathe). They accommodate my busty top with no embarrassing stretch lines! In the current age of most brands skimming on the quality and many disappointments later, TB will be the one for me to go now. Always true to size and wash beautifully. Did I say I love their pajama-feel jeans too? Will never look at other jeans again. Pair the jeans with this polo and I am in heaven! April 29, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jule Excellent Polo I love the feel and fit of the Paradise Polo. It has a great feminine shape and is finished with nice mother of pearl buttons. I am purchasing a second one in a different color. April 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kona15 Great gift polo for mother-in-law and me I recently bought this polo for my mother-in-law's birthday. She lives in Florida and the Tommy fish logo is nice for her beach life. I ordered the teal color and she was really pleased because she is an ovarian cancer survivor and teal is their ribbon color. I like the shirt so much I am going to buy one for myself. March 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sue137 Flattering fit Great fit and looks great on. This polo is extremely comfortable and washes well. I like it so much that I ordered another one after returning from my vacation. I would order one in every color if they were more reasonably priced! March 11, 2015

Chennai, Nov. 15
THE MGM Group, which has interests in logistics, hospitality and theme parks, is all set to acquire Aruna Hotel in Chennai, which belonged to the erstwhile Aruna Sugars.
The group also plans to acquire two more three-star properties in the city, a company spokesperson told Business Line. The investment into the acquisitions would be around Rs 60 crore, he said.
The takeover of the Aruna Hotel is in an advanced stage and an advance has been paid. However, the spokesperson did not reveal what the consideration was. Pending completion of due diligence and other formalities, the promoters of Aruna Hotel have escrowed a part of their holdings in favour of MGM Group, a press note said.
According to the spokesperson, this is part of the corporate strategy to take advantage of the boom in the hospitality business.
The group has five hotel properties and is the franchisee for the Marry Brown restaurant chain in India.

text: Nice game Uggla! That was ugly. How many errors did he make last night. Wonder if Phillips watched and thought to himself I could have made those plays. How about in the tenth with runners on first and third he grounds into the DP to end the inning with a chance to drive in the go ahead run. Not only can Phillips field he can hit, he should have been their not Uggla. Also the play that Utley couldn't make in the first against Jeter, Phillips could have made that one.

Hull City striker Aaron Mclean is pleased with his loan move to Birmingham City.
The out-of-favour Tigers striker has found first team chances hard to come by this season.
"I'd spoken to Hull and they were happy to let me go away for a month, so it was an easy decision to make," he said. "The actual move came about pretty quickly but it's something we'd been looking at for a little while. I haven't really featured that much in the first-team at Hull.
"I'm not expecting to come here and walk straight into the team. I'm going to have to work hard in training and hopefully when I get the opportunity I can go out there and show the lads and the fans what I'm about."

Snakes threaten Hawaii's fragile island ecosystem
"We don't want the trend to continue," Okada said. "In Hawaii, with all its lush vegetation, you don't want to be worried about snakes while you're hiking."
A snake invasion would have far-reaching effects on the islands, permanently changing its landscape, Duvall said.
First they'd eat bird eggs and small birds, including 34 species of endangered forest birds found in Hawaii such as the Maui parrotbill, crested honeycreeper and Hawaiian crow, he said. Spider webs would drape trees and darken forests without birds to kill them. Insect populations would boom. Power outages would increase as snakes hung from electricity lines.
These consequences have already occurred on Guam, according to Campbell, saying the snakes there established themselves across the landscape in about three decades.
In this month's captures on Oahu, the snakes appeared to be pets, agriculture officials said. The docile boa constrictor was found by pig hunters on a dirt road, and the python was retrieved from a home after police received a tip.
The black market pet trade is largely responsible for snakes finding their way into the islands, Martin said.
Snake enthusiasts find dealers through the Internet and ship baby snakes by mail to Hawaii in small boxes, she said. Legitimate pet stores won't send snakes to Hawaii, she said.
With only 50 agriculture inspectors statewide, down from 95 in 2009 because of budget cuts and layoffs, the state has a hard time catching snakes when they're mailed in, she said. Efforts to prevent snakes from escaping Guam have been more successful, and only one brown tree snake has been found in Hawaii since an inspection program started on Guam in 1994, Campbell said.
Organizations including the Hawaiian Humane Society help rid the islands of pet snakes by picking them up from homes with no questions asked, said spokeswoman Jacque LeBlanc.
"In the case of the boa that was found, that boa was big enough to eat a cat or harm a child," LeBlanc said. "They're dangerous to people and other animals."
