Canada's cannabis electric car is the epitome of a "green" vehicle
By Darren Quick
August 29, 2010
If you thought it was high time someone produced an electric vehicle (EV) using that most versatile and environmentally friendly of fibers, hemp, then you can breathe a sigh of relief. Motive Industries Inc. has announced the development of Canada's first electric vehicle whose body is made from an impact resistant bio-composite material that is made from hemp mats. If it remembers to turn up, the four-passenger car, called the Kestrel, will make its debut during the EV 2010 VÉ Conference and Trade Show in Vancouver in September.
Composite materials are currently used in Formula 1 vehicles as well as many road-going vehicles and have been found to have strength and safety benefits above that of steel. In using hemp, the goal was to produce a material with the same mechanical properties as glass composites while achieving a reduction in weight.
According to Dr. John Wolodko at Alberta Innovates Technology Futures (AITF) in Edmonton, Alberta where the hemp mats are produced, bio-composites are becoming more popular due to their low cost and light weight. "Natural materials such as hemp can offer a green and sustainable alternative to conventional fibers used in composites, " he says.
Kestrel designer Darren McKeage says the vehicle boasts a minimized part count to improve simplicity and is lightweight to improve efficiency. Motive Industries designed and engineered the Kestrel for participation in Project Eve, a Canadian initiative aimed at furthering the production of EV's and EV components in Canada.
"We saw a unique opportunity to make significant advancements in the automotive sector and support the Canadian auto sector by providing sustainable products and opportunities to create new green manufacturing jobs," said Motive President, Nathan Armstrong.
And before an uninformed subset of our readership start getting excited about the mind altering potential of setting a parked Kestrel alight, we should point out that industrial hemp produces very little THC.
Motive was to begin prototyping and testing on the vehicle this month ahead of its debut at the EV 2010 2010 VÉ Conference and Trade Show, which runs from September 13 to 16 in Vancouver.
Henry Ford produced a car in the 1940\'s made out of a plastic derived from hemp. It was stronger and lighter than steel. Oh, and it ran on alcohol.
When will we as the public start seeing these pipe dream cars as a reality, instead of being crushed by big business?VoiceofReason
VoR you\'re exactly right. There\'s even video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxlj6fgQ-ZU Not sure if it was crushed by big business though... ford is pretty bigCraig Jennings
Calling this car \"cannabis car\" is like calling a house made from the wood a \"tree house\".
The material of this car is made from hemp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemp) that is fibre harvested from the cannabis plants.
Similary houses are made from the wood that is harvested from the trees.Kris Lee

The Springboks' approach is brutally effective despite its simplicity, but it needs to evolve to have sustained success.
This is a view supported by Australia coach Robbie Deans, whose side were beaten by the Springboks at Newlands on Saturday. The Wallabies failed to effectively counter the Springboks' kick-chase pattern, but Deans, speaking to keo.co.za, says it is a matter of time before teams do formulate ways to blunt them.
'When they get that kick-chase game going it's extremely difficult to counter, and credit to them, they haven't put a foot wrong in their execution for some time now,' Deans said.
'But in the modern game, with the amount of analyses available to sides, it's inevitable that you will be worked out if your approach remains unchanged for an extended period of time.
'The Springboks have the players to play in a number of different ways and they need to explore all their options to make them an even better side.'
Some would peddle the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' argument, but that rationale should have no place in the Springboks' mindset.
The best teams are those who are constantly looking for ways to improve and stay a step ahead of their opposition. Deans' Crusaders, with whom he won four Super Rugby titles, are a prime example.
They were perceived to be a side more taken by an expansive brand of rugby than they were a measured, pragmatic approach, but that didn't mean they couldn't mix it in the heavies and kick the dimples off the pill when they needed to.
Similarly the Springboks need to evolve to a point where they are able to not only explore different avenues of attack, but be as effective in doing so as they are with their preferred kick-chase approach.
While their strategy is very effective at present, it must be a concern that that effectiveness leans heavily on excellent execution from their halfback pair of Morne Steyn and Fourie du Preez. Both are experiencing purple patches, but there will surely be a stage when their form drops off, as it did at times during the Super 14, and this is when the Springboks will have to look to vary their play.
The backline has been under-utilised in recent Tests, and understandably so. The Springboks' coaching staff have found a formula that works and would be fools to veer from that. It's not a case of striking a balance. Why would you not want to maximise your strengths? But developing other facets of their play is crucial to sustained success.
How the Springbok coaching staff do that remains to be seen. It is certainly a difficult task, made more so by the fact that they have a limited time with the squad, and if they do succeed it will take time for them to function at optimal potency.
The Springboks struggled in 2006 when they were transitioning between a rush defensive system to a hybrid of that model and a more traditional up and in pattern, but by the 2007 World Cup they were a formidable defensive unit.
The evolution will take time and it is certain to be accompanied by growing pains. The end product, however, will be a side capable of dominating world rugby.

Many areas remain without power
It was past midnight on Sunday when incoming supply was restored to many 33-KV substations in the North Circle of the CPDCL Metro Zone which crashed down on Saturday evening following a major snag in the 400-KV Malkaram substation.
Power supply to the three 132-KV substations at Gunrock, Moula Ali and Chilkalguda stopped at around 6.30 p.m. due to a current transformer's blast at the 400-KV Malkaram substation, a major source of incoming supply to the city. According to sources from CPDCL, the breakdown affected 14 to 15 33-KV substations covering the whole of North Circle. Affected areas include Secunderabad, Begumpet, Paradise, Cantonment, West Marredpally, James Street, Alwal, Moula Ali, Medchal, Bowenpally, Warisguda, Tarnaka, Habsiguda, Trimulgherry, Ameerpet, and Erragadda among others. Though supply was restored after a couple of hours to a few areas by shifting loads onto alternative sources, many localities remained without power for about six to seven hours in the night.
The problem in Malkaram could be rectified only around midnight, after which supply was restored to all the areas, officials from CPDCL informed.

Snake-oil salemen and charlatans are making a fortune in the mainland. Is the pendulum of religion and belief swinging the other way now? Or is there something less mystical afoot?
In the three decades since China's "opening up and reform", religious traditions and spiritual thought, once declared taboo during Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution, have made a strong comeback. This spiritual revival has been evident in the spreading patronage of Buddhist traditions, the remarkable rise of Christianity in China, particularly in underground and informal "house churches", and in the continuing practice of Islam by more than 20 million Chinese, often in an hostile environment.
Less evident has been the accompanying proliferation of a lucrative industry built around this rising interest in the religious. Occasionally, the Chinese media carries stories of fake monks and other self-declared men of god who have made large fortunes preying on new beliefs. No one symbolised more the rise of this industry than Wang Lin, a "Qigong master" who has, over the past decade, won following among some of China's most rich and famous. Qigong is an ancient Chinese discipline which includes breathing exercises and healing techniques. Its practitioners believe that through Qigong, the body's latent energies can be channeled in effective – and, according to Wang and others – even supernatural ways.
Wang's abilities were most renowned for a rather bizarre talent – he claimed he could, through his Qigong skills, conjure snakes out of thin air. (You can find a subtitled video of his curious Chinese snake trick here.) He has also claimed that he has cured cancer through his Qigong healing techniques. Besides his penchant for demonstrating strange tricks, Wang had generally kept a low profile, choosing to reside in southern Jiangxi province rather than in Beijing or Shanghai, and rarely venturing beyond the four walls of his sprawling mansion (which, according to media reports, housed a fleet of luxury cars).
Last month, however, reports began appearing in the Chinese media asking difficult questions about the reclusive mystic. (Knowing how the Chinese State media usually works, the appearance of a series of reports was no supernatural coincidence.) One Beijing newspaper scoffed at Wang's claims that "17 Japanese scientists" had "for seven days and nights" studied his skills. The mystic reportedly even claimed that the CIA had offered him 70 green cards. But of course, being a patriot, he turned them down. When a reporter of the "Beijing News" was brave enough to write a piece questioning his tall claims, Wang cursed her, saying she would "die miserably" and her "family will follow".
The photographs that have emerged in the past few weeks have been remarkable in shedding the spotlight on how widespread and deeply entrenched men like Wang have become among the elite in post-reforms China. Most embarrassingly for the still officially-atheist Communist Party of China (CPC), some of their top cadres count themselves among Wang's faithful. Among those photographed with Wang were Jack Ma, the head of the e-commerce giant Alibaba, actors Jackie Chan and Jet Li, one of China's most famous singers Wang Fei, and the movie star Li Bingbing.
Perhaps the most interesting photograph showed Wang with the former Railways Minister and CPC Central Committee member "Great Leap" Liu Zhijun, who presided over a rapid expansion of China's high-speed industry (and pocketed millions in the process). It is likely no coincidence that the outing of Wang Lin in the press took place only days after Liu was sentenced to death – with a two-year reprieve, likely to be commuted to a life term – in a high-profile trial last month.
Wang, who fled to Hong Kong earlier this week fearing possible arrest, maintains that he is being targeted in a financial dispute. He did not appear in court when a trial over a case involving a former disciple opened on Tuesday. The disciple Zou Yong, a businessman, is fighting with his old master over a $4.8 million housing agreement. There is, however, probably far more to Wang Lin's case than a property dispute. In recent days, State media outlets have used strong language denouncing the likes of Wang as "dispensers of spiritual opium", invoking a tone perhaps last seen during the crackdown of the now banned Falun Gong, (which, like Qigong, involves a similar set of breathing exercises).
The wider issue is the murky world inhabited by China's political and business elite – hardly news to Chinese citizens, but an increasing source of annoyance. The Party's media has railed against the nexus between officials and men like Wang. The Global Times acknowledged "it's not new that many officials would rather worship the supernatural than care about the public". "They are prone to trust those masters," the newspaper said. "Isn't that why these masters are so popular?" That officials across the country are spending millions to garner favour with astrologers and mystics is also testament to the opacity that continues to envelope Chinese officialdom, even as the demands of a slowly growing civil soceity - aided by the power of social media - are growing louder for transparency. Yet, just this week, even as the Party has made a public case against Wang and renewed its commitment to fight corruption, it has also quietly continued to silence anti-corruption activists campaigning for greater transparency, leaving some to wonder the Party, too, is merely attempting to pull off a feat of illusion of a different kind.

Lee Daniels: French Empire

Um. Game Of Thrones premieres on Sunday on both HBO and HBO Canada. FINALLY.
FINALLY! You wait 10 months to watch for only 10 weeks.
So this isn't a conversation. Watch GOT and Mad Men first. And then hit the internet or Twitter the next morning to catch up on the Movie Awards. That's the game plan. Because there is nothing that will happen at MTV that you can't watch on PVR later. You don't have to see Shailene Woodley accept her Trailblazer Award live. But you DO want to see those dragons as soon as possible.
Have a great weekend!

Don't get me wrong, it's a still a soap opera, and the pilot gives me serious OC vibes, particularly at the beginning. Full Story

Lions coach Eugene Eloff has made five changes and a positional switch for his team's must-win Absa Currie Cup match against the Valke.
The Lions find themselves propping up the log after three rounds. Admittedly the matches were against the three favourites for the title – the Sharks, Blue Bulls and Cheetahs.
Another loss against the Valke – who scored their first win of the campaign last weekend – will be disastrous for all involved.
The 59-5 defeat to the defending champions in Bloemfontein last weekend though has necessitated several changes.
The most notable is the omission of captain Wikus van Heerden, who has been sent to a farm outside of Johannesburg for some well-deserved rest.
In his absence the team will be captained by Ernst Joubert, while young Jean Deysel switches from lock to take Van Heerden's place on the side of the scrum. Veteran Willem Stoltz comes into the second row.
Other changes up front see tighthead Gert Muller dropped for Bertus Smit and hooker James van der Walt replaced by Ethienne Reyneke. Grant Esterhuizen's injury sees young Mark Harris get a start in the No 11 jersey.
A rather interesting move sees young Jody Rose replace his brother Earl at flyhalf as the Lions seek to find a solution to their flyhalf woes.
The Lions season is fast unravelling, but they face the Valke and Griquas in the next two weeks – both teams the Lions would normally easily beat.
The pressure is on and if they lose those two games it could be time for heads to roll again.
Lions team to play Valke:
15 Louis Ludik, 14 Wylie Human, 13 Jaco Pretorius, 12 Wayne Julies, 11 Mark Harris, 10 Jody Rose, 9 Jano Vermaak; 8 Ernst Joubert (captain), 7 Jean Deysel, 6 Cobus Grobbelaar, 5 Gerhard Mostert, 4 Willem Stoltz, 3 Bertus Smit, 2 Ethienne Reyneke, 1 Heinke van der Merwe.
Replacements: 16 Andre van Niekerk, 17 Gert Muller, 18 Schalk van der Merwe, 19 Bernard Roland, 20 Rory Kockott, 21 Earl Rose, 22 Jaco van Schalkwyk.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes sleep in separate bedrooms according to reports.
"It's a situation that works for both of them," a friend tells Star Magazine. "Of course they spend time together alone at night like most married couples; after all, they conceived Suri! In fact, they even joke about having separate bedrooms to their friends – Katie says Tom snores, and this way she can get her beauty sleep!"
The couple apparently doesn't think there is anything wrong with sleeping in different beds.
"At first, it was because Katie was Catholic and single, and they were only dating. It was the proper thing to do," says the same friend. "Now that they are married, they don't feel the need to alter the arrangement. Tom has his master bedroom, and Katie has hers."
Why does this surprise anyone? Did you guys actually think they slept in the same bed together?

A look at the latest Apple-Samsung dispute
More News from Associated Press
LOS ANGELES—Many of today's smartphones share similar features, from responsive touchscreens that let users unlock the phone with a flick of a finger, to pop-up animations that offer a shortcut to dialing a number or storing it in a digital address book.
Those similarities are at the center of an array of patent disputes as Apple and Samsung Electronics sue each other in courts and trade offices around the world.
The companies' most recent legal fight all but concluded on Friday, when a California jury found that Samsung copied some of Apple's smartphone features. The panel also concluded that Apple illegally used one of Samsung's patents in creating the iPhone 4 and 5.
All told, the jury awarded Samsung $158,400 and Apple $119 million, far less than the $2.2 billion the company sought.
Jurors were ordered to return to court Monday to continue deliberations on a minor matter that could result in a higher award for Apple.
Before determining whether the companies copied phone technologies, jurors had to consider several patents. Here's a look at select patents and the jury's conclusions:
Patent 5,946,647
—Official description: System and method for performing an action on a structure in computer-generated data.
—What it really means: In a mobile device, the technology described in this patent is used to display a pop-up menu of options. One example: When you highlight a phone number on the touchscreen and the software gives you a prompt of options.
—The jury's verdict: The jury found that Apple proved Samsung infringed on the patent across several mobile devices, including the Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S III and Stratosphere.
Patent 6,847,959
—Official description: Universal interface for retrieval of information in a computer system.
—What it really means: This patent covers a process that's similar to the function of a search engine. It enables the mobile device to access information from a variety of locations, while only listing relevant data for the user.
One of the features in the patent is a graphic interface showing a "Go-To" menu option in a text input window.
—The jury's verdict: Apple failed to prove Samsung infringed on this patent.
Patent 7,761,414
—Official description: Asynchronous data synchronization among devices.
—What it really means: This patent involves a way to synchronize data across computers and mobile devices. In the case of a smartphone, this could apply to synchronizing address books on your phone with online storage.
—The jury's verdict: Samsung did not infringe on Apple's patent.
Patent 8,046,721
—Official description: Unlocking a device by performing gestures on an unlock image.
What it really means: This patent refers to a way of controlling an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display. Specifically, Apple claimed Samsung infringed on a feature of the patent that describes the swipe-and-unlock feature on iPhones.
—The jury's verdict: Apple made its case that certain Samsung devices, including the Admire, Stratosphere and Galaxy Nexus, violated patents. But the panel rejected claims pertaining to Samsung's Galaxy S II, Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch and Galaxy S II Skyrocket.
Patent 5,579,239
—Official description: Remote video transmission system.
—What it really means: Samsung's patent describes a system for digitizing, compressing and transmitting audio and visual signals and then reversing the process for broadcast.
The jury's verdict: Apple did not infringe on a section of Samsung's patent that covers transmitting video in real time over a cellular frequency.
Patent 6,226,449
—Official description: Apparatus for recording and reproducing digital image and speech.
—What it really means: This Samsung patent refers to the kind of dual digital camera that's become standard in many smartphones. As described in the patent, the user is able to change the direction of the camera.
The jury's decision: Apple infringed on Samsung's patent on several versions of the iPhone and iPod Touch.—Alex Veiga

You can earn money without being in business. Many people do this (or try to) by engaging in personal investing—for example, by earning interest on personal bank accounts or investing in stocks that pay dividends and appreciate in value over time. Activities like these—that are pursued primarily for profit but aren't businesses—are called income-producing activities. They are neither businesses nor hobbies, and they receive their own special income tax treatment. The distinction between a business and an income-producing activity is crucial because income-producing activities generally receive less favorable tax treatment than businesses. Thus, you'll want to avoid this classification whenever possible.
Tax Consequences of Income-Producing Activities
You are entitled to deduct the ordinary and necessary expenses you incur to produce income, or to manage property held for the production of income—for example, real estate rentals. (IRC Sec. 212.) This includes many of the same expenses that businesspeople are allowed to deduct. For example, a person with a real estate rental may deduct maintenance and repair costs; an investor in the stock market may deduct fees for investment advice or accounting services.
However, there are some crucial limitations on deductions for income-producing activities that do not apply to businesses, including:
- No home office deduction. You can't take a home office deduction for an income-producing activity. This important deduction is available only for businesses conducted from home. You can, however, still depreciate the cost of equipment and furniture that qualify as ordinary and necessary expenses for your activity.
- No Section 179 expensing. Taxpayers engaged in income-producing activities can't take advantage of Section 179 of the tax code. (Section 179 allows businesspeople to deduct a substantial amount of long-term asset purchases in a single year—$500,000 in 2012 and 2013).
- No seminar or convention deductions. People with income-producing activities can't deduct their expenses for attending conventions, seminars, or similar events. Thus, for example, you can't deduct the cost of attending a stock market investment seminar.
- Limit on deducting investment interest. Interest paid on money borrowed to make an investment is deductible only up to the amount of income you earn from the investment. If you earn no income from the investment, you get no deduction. In contrast, interest on money you borrow to use for a business is fully deductible.
- No deduction for start-up expenses. You get no deduction at all for expenses incurred to start up an income-producing activity. Businesses, on the other hand, can deduct $5,000 of their start-up expenses for the first year they are in business, with any excess deductible over 15 years.
- Limit on deductions. Expenses incurred from an income-producing activity (investing, for example) are miscellaneous itemized deductions. That means you can deduct them only to the extent they exceed 2% of your adjusted gross income—the same standard used for hobbies. If all your itemized deductions don't exceed the standard deductions, you can't itemize and you get no deduction at all. The only exception is for rents or royalties earned as part of an income-producing activity. With rent and royalty income, you can deduct your related expenses directly from your gross income (just like business expenses). Thus, landlords who earn rent but don't qualify as businesspeople may still fully deduct their expenses. Royalties include income from things like copyrights or patents, or mineral leases.
No self-employment tax. One positive tax effect of having an income-producing activity instead of a business is that you don't have to pay any self-employment tax on the income from the activity. Only people in business have to pay self-employment taxes. This is a substantial savings, because the self-employment tax is 15.3% of your net self-employment income, up to an annual ceiling amount.
When you have an income-producing activity, you don't file an IRS Schedule C, Profit or Loss From Business, with your tax return. You don't have a business, so that schedule doesn't apply. Instead, you list your expenses on Schedule A, Itemized Deductions. However, if your income comes from real estate or royalties, you list your income and expenses on Schedule E, Supplemental Income and Loss. Investors who incur capital gains or losses must file Schedule D, Capital Gains and Losses.
Only individuals can deduct expenses from income-producing activities. Corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies cannot deduct these expenses.
Types of Income-Producing Activities
An income-producing activity is an activity you do primarily to earn a profit, but doesn't involve your active, continuous, and regular management or control of a business.
Personal Investing
Personal investing is by far the most common income-producing activity. Investing means making money in ways other than running a business—for example:
- You put your money in a bank and earn interest.
- You buy stocks, bonds, or other securities in publicly traded corporations and earn money from dividends or from the securities' appreciation in value over time.
- You buy commodities like gold or pork bellies and earn money from their appreciation in value over time.
- You buy real estate and earn money from rents or appreciation in the property's value over time.
- You purchase an interest in a privately owned business run by someone else and earn money from the increase in the business's value over time or payments from the business.
What all these activities have in common is that you are not engaged in the active, continuous, and regular management or control of a business. You are passive—you put your money in somebody else's business and hope your investment will increase in value due to their efforts, not yours. Or, you buy an item like gold and then sit and wait for it to increase in value.
Personal investing is always an income-producing activity for tax purposes, not a business. It makes no difference whether you invest from home or an outside office.
Other Activities
Although the most common, investing is by no means the only income-producing activity. Almost any activity can qualify if your primary motive for engaging in it is to make money but you don't work at it enough for it to rise to the level of a business. For example, raising and selling horses or buying and selling rare coins could be income-producing activities. You must work continuously and regularly at the activity for it to be a business.

There is no American writer alive who is funnier, more inquisitive, or more surprising than Julie Hecht. The Unprofessionals, her first novel, whose narrator also told the stories in the author's bestselling collection Do the Windows Open?, is a triumph of tragicomedy. The book follows the odd friendship between the narrator -- a photographer in her late forties -- and a precocious raconteur, identified only as The Boy, whom she has known since his childhood.

Cultural Buildings
The Aronoff Center for Design and Art opened at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio. It was designed by the experimental U.S. architect Peter Eisenman. Like Gehry's Guggenheim in Bilbao, it was regarded as the harbinger of a new generation of free-form computer-generated designs--although Eisenman's irregular shapes tended to be angular rather than curved. The construction drawings for the building were not conventionally dimensioned in feet or metres. Instead, 8,000 key points were plotted in three dimensions by computer and then located on the building site by an engineer using a laser transit. Eisenman argued that this process allowed him to create a building "so fractured that the space is no longer contained by form--it's rattled loose."
In Chicago an almost equally controversial but very different building for the arts was the new Museum of Contemporary Art. It was designed by the German architect Josef Paul Kleihues in a sober, symmetrical, neo-classical style. One architectural magazine said that "it seems to summarize a composure and restraint that has blessedly come to us after an era in which the over-the-top, program-be-damned hedonism of museums like Peter Eisenman's Wexner Center [in Ohio] and Gehry's Vitra Museum [in Germany] has been celebrated." Kleihues used local Indiana limestone at the base of his building and then switched to panels made of aluminum sandblasted with iron filings at the upper levels, a material expected to age and weather well in the Chicago climate.
Another large cultural project was the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles by Moshe Safdie, a museum of Jewish life not far from Meier's Getty Center. Like the Getty, the Skirball was a cluster of buildings sited on a hill, visible from a distance on the freeways.
At Harvard University, Philadelphia architects Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates restored the university's largest building, the Victorian-style Memorial Hall, into an up-to-date dining hall with a basement of student fast-food counters and study nooks. In Mexico City Ricardo Legoretta and other architects created a new National Center for the Arts.
Commercial Buildings
Probably the most discussed and written-about commercial venture of 1996 was the opening of the new town of Celebration outside Orlando, Fla., created by the Walt Disney Co. Many prominent architects, including Jaquelin Robertson, Robert A.M. Stern, Cesar Pelli, Michael Graves, Charles Moore, Philip Johnson, Aldo Rossi, William Rawn, and the firm of Venturi, Scott Brown, collaborated in the planning of the town and the design of its buildings. Unlike less-wealthy developers, Disney was able to begin the project by building the town's downtown, in which shops, restaurants, and entertainment facilities faced an artificial lake, even before there was a resident population. Celebration was intended to be a normal community, not an exclusive gated enclave, and was expected to reach a population of approximately 20,000. Exteriors but not interiors of the houses had to conform to an elaborate set of guidelines intended to re-create the atmosphere of the small-town America of the pre-World War II era. Of the buildings completed by the year's end, a movie complex in Art Deco style by Pelli, a cylindrical post office by Graves, and two office buildings by Rossi were among the more notable.
Celebration was regarded as the most visible example of the increasingly influential movement known as New Urbanism, which could be summarized as an attempt to return to the pedestrian-friendly, compactly built town of the past, as opposed to what the New Urbanists described as the car-dominated suburban sprawl of freeways, malls, and widely dispersed single-family houses. Admired by many, Celebration and other examples of New Urbanism were criticized by others as a retreat to a dreamworld of the American past, one that would appeal to only a small slice of the current population.
Also during the year, in Britain, another New Urbanist town opened its first 250 homes. This was Poundbury, sponsored by Prince Charles, designed by the Luxembourg architect Leon Krier, and intended, like Celebration, to re-create the values of the past.
Also for Disney--now regarded as the world's leading private patron of architecture--was an office building in Anaheim, Calif., by Gehry, much of it covered in iridescent quilted sheet-metal panels that to passing motorists appeared to be changing colour. Gehry's competition-winning Disney Concert Hall for downtown Los Angeles, however, remained mired in political and budgetary problems and seemed likely never to be built.
A national competition was under way in the United States to design a memorial to veterans of World War II on a prominent site near the Washington Monument on the Mall in Washington, D.C. It drew more than 400 entries, from which 6 finalists were chosen. No announcement of a winner had been made by the year's end.
A design by Berlin-based architect Daniel Libeskind, featuring irregular, heaped-up, angular shapes, was chosen from more than 100 proposals for a new wing for the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Pritzker Prize winner Christian de Portzamparc won a competition to plan the Massena neighbourhood of Paris.

Please Help Rose Find Her Forever Home!!!
My name is Rose and I'm just as sweet and pretty as my name implies! I'm a 5 year old bulldog/terrier mix and an expert cuddler. As you can see in my photos, I have the best "smile." Cuddling is my absolute favorite thing to do (I will close my eyes and "snore" sitting up if you massage me and rub my ears)! My gentle, mellow personality coupled with my desire to be with people and be loved on makes me the perfect therapy dog (my foster mom helped me get certified!) so I can visit with people in hospitals and nursing homes to brighten their day! I experienced separation anxiety when I first came to my foster home but with time, patience, and training, I learned how to be home alone. I will need help adjusting to my new forever home when I'm adopted and will need the ability to roam free in the house while you're gone. A mellow canine companion (or two) my size and similar in personality to me will also help keep me company while you're gone. I'm fine with cats, too!
Cat and Kitten Foster Homes Needed!!!
We're a little scared – kitten season is upon us and we don't have enough foster homes! We need YOU to save the lives of these precious babies in our Milwaukee community!!!
The number of lives Milwaukee Pets Alive can save is directly correlated to the number of foster homes we have. The more people we have that will open their hearts and homes to these pets in need, the more we can save – it's that simple!
And don't forget about the adult cats – they need fosters to save their lives too!
During the warmer months, many organizations focus on little kittens to rescue, while adult cats are overlooked (adult cats are considered 1 year of age and older – there are many young 1 year old cats coming into animal control during the influx of kittens, too!)
MPA rescues animals ONLY from MADACC (Milwaukee Animal Control). MPA focuses on those animals there that may be passed over by other groups, with no other option for live outcomes, truly defining "life-saving".
Be a part of it! Click on the "get involved" tab at the top of this page, then click on "become a foster" to find our foster application. Print it out, fill it in, then return by one of the means indicated on the top of the application (the application is not fillable – it must be printed out to be completed).
Don't delay – beautiful feline lives are waiting for you to save them! We can't wait to hear from you - Meow!

A tale of two baseball cheaters
Why is it the best of times for Mark McGwire but the worst of times for Pete Rose?
Updated: January 26, 2010, 7:36 PM ETBy Gene Wojciechowski | ESPN.com
Mark McGwire is back in. But Pete Rose is still out?
Major League Baseball continues its hit streak of hypocrisy.
How is it that McGwire receives a standing O from St. Louis Cardinals fans, but Rose still has his 68-year-old face pressed against MLB's window? McGwire not only goes directly from his self-imposed isolation tank to a big league coaching job, but he has Cards manager Tony La Russa running interference against anyone who thinks this is a bogus idea.

Thirty-four defaulting private hospitals have been issued notices by the Delhi Government for failing to fully comply with the directions of the Supreme Court and the Delhi High Court for providing free treatment to the eligible category of economically weaker section patients.
The hospitals were instructed to provide free medical care to 10 per cent of indoor patients and 25 per cent of the total outdoor patients. At present, there are 43 private hospitals in the city identified for providing free treatment to poor patients.
The major hospitals which have defaulted in providing free treatment to both indoor as well as outdoor patients include Dharamshila Hospital and Research Centre, Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket (East Block, Devki Devi), VIMHANS, Indian Spinal Injuries Centre, G. M. Modi Hospital, Primus Super Speciality Hospital, Batra Hospital, Jeewan Anmol Hospital, Bensups Hospital, R. B. Seth Jessa Ram Hospital, Rockland Hospital and Fortis Vasant Kunj.
Meanwhile, Dr. Walia appreciated the services of eight hospitals – Sri Balaji Action Medical Institute, Max Super Speciality Hospital, I. P. Extn., Bimla Devi Hospital, Venu Eye Institute, Vinayak Hospital, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Bhagwati Hospital and Bhagwan Mahavir Hospital – which were found to be fully complying with the directions of the courts.
The release issued by the State Health Ministry also noted that recently three hospitals namely Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Science and Research, Jivodaya Hospital and Guru Harkishan Hospital have been added to the list of identified private hospitals providing free treatment to the eligible category of EWS patients.
Dr. Walia said: "We are committed to fully implementing the directions of the Courts so that the poor patients benefit from the provisions regarding free treatment. The medical superintendents of government hospitals have been directed to increase the number of referral of economical weaker section patients to private hospitals. For facilitating free treatment, the availability of free beds is displayed on the Delhi Government website."

How many Christmas Lights do I need to decorate my tree?
This is probably one of the most common questions we receive during the holiday season. The question is difficult to answer because the answer depends a lot on personal preference. However, you can make a fairly reliable estimate by taking some measurements from your tree. First, measure the height of the tree (not including the trunk.) Second, measure the tree's circumference at the base of the tree. Third, decide how far apart you would like to space the lights vertically on the tree. (*If you like more lights on your tree you should space them more closely together. If you like a lot of lights on your tree we recommend that you use 2-3" vertical spacing. If you like less light 4-6" spacing is sufficient.) Once you have made these measurements you can determine the total feet of lights you will need by using the following formula:
1. Multiple the tree diameter by 3.14.
2. Multiple the product of step 1 by the height of the tree.
3. Divide the product of step 2 by 2.
4. Divide the amount result of the calculation in step 3 by the desired vertical spacing (*Use .33 for true 4" vertical spacing.)
To determine the number of strings of a particular product you want divide the total from step 4 by the number of feet of the Christmas light product you want to use.
For example, the calculation for a 8' tree with a 5' diameter where the vertical spacing is to be 4", the calculation would be:
1. 5*3.14 = 15.70
2. 15.70*8 = 125.60
3. 125.60/2 = 62.80
4. 62.80/.33 = 190.30
Using these figures, the tree should have a total of about 190' of lights. Most of our light sets are 25' in length so dividing this by 25 yields a total of about 7-8 strings needed.
Lighting Tips
- A standard rule is one set of lights per foot of tree height (6' tall tree = 6 sets of lights). Slim line trees, usually require one set of lights per 1'-2' of tree height
- Have an extension cord handy to plug the lights into – always make sure to test the lights prior to using them
- Always have the lights plugged in while you work
- To light the tree, work from the bottom of the tree upward. Continue to move around the tree as you light
- Start by lighting the inside of the tree near the center trunk. Wrap the lights around the branches and work your way out and back again as you move up the tree
- Wrapping the lights around the branches helps keep wires hidden – this gives you a professional and clean looking finished product
- If you have end-to-end lights, you can add more sets by plugging them in to each other. Or, an extra extension cord may be necessary to plug lights into as you work toward the top of the tree.
o Need to add more lights but don't have an end of a set (female plug) to plug into? You can plug additional sets into the female plug on the backside of the male plug, to add additional lights where you need them.
Decorating Tips
- To create a perfect sense of balance, place smaller ornaments at the top of the tree, and position larger ornaments near the middle and bottom of the tree.
- As you start to build your theme, create a focal point either at the top or the bottom of the tree
- Carry the theme through, with appropriate decorative garland or ribbon
- Place props in the tree to enhance or reinforce the product and theme
If you need assistance determining how many lights you need for your Christmas tree or other lighting display please feel free to contact us.

Yet another peek into McCartney's smoochy side
Paul McCartney
"Kisses on the Bottom"
Hear Music/MCA Music
You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs. Paul McCartney's latest album, "Kisses on the Bottom," is not only another peek into his smoochy side; it is actually a reverential nod to 1920s and '30s era music—the kind that he and John Lennon heard from their parents.
Some of the songs that the Lennon/McCartney tandem wrote and recorded as The Beatles come from that very rich period of American music. How '60s rock was infused with the verses of the old era is evident in the unmistakable melodic influence in many Beatles tunes, like "When I'm Sixty Four," "Maxwell's Silver Hammer," "Honey Pie," or "You Gave Me the Answer."
"Kisses on the Bottom" is a romantic collection of rarely covered material from the Great American Songbook, and includes three McCartney originals. Most of the tracks were recorded at the iconic Capitol Records Tower, in the very same studio where Nat "King" Cole, Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin recorded. Talk about getting into the groove!
McCartney admits he was initially intimidated with having to work with jazz musicians, on top of doing vocals on Cole's venerable mic. But the sessions turned out to be an open and organic exchange, which McCartney now says was exactly how it was working with The Beatles.
The album title is a line lifted from the first track, "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter" (first recorded by Fats Waller in 1935)—which puts the listener in an easygoing mood, as does another track, "Bye Bye Blackbird."
Other notable cuts are the poignant "More I Cannot Wish You" (from the musical "Guys & Dolls"), McCartney's "My Valentine" (featuring Eric Clapton on acoustic guitar), and "Only Our Hearts" (with Stevie Wonder on harmonica).
The CD's de luxe version comes with three postcards and includes two additional tracks, "Baby's Request" (from 1979's "Back to the Egg") and the jazzy "My One and Only Love."
It would be kind of surreal listening to this album with the TV series "Boardwalk Empire" playing on mute. Instead of Steve Buscemi, imagine instead yourself with friends in a club after work.
Or picture a lazy afternoon with your mom or elder sister (not Lady Gaga—remember this is laid-back) tinkering with the piano. Let the music take you back to a world when time drifted by oh-so-slowly.
David Garrett
Decca/MCA Music
Performed with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, "Legacy" is German-American classical violinist David Garrett's rendition of Beethoven's violin concerto, as well as a homage to the contemporary Austrian violinist Fritz Kreisler—credited for bringing this under-appreciated Beethoven composition back into the concert halls in the early 20th century.
Mozart may be remembered for five violin concertos, but it is Beethoven's moving and multi-faceted "Violin Concerto in D major op. 61," that Garrett considers the ultimate masterpiece of the violin repertoire, what he also calls "every violinist's dream recording."
Each movement of the concerto has a unique character—from the rhythmical first movement and its majestic buildup, followed by the pastoral beauty and almost religious quality of the second, to the lively, animated third movement.
Kreisler's unique contribution as composer-arranger, and Garrett's admiration of him are showcased in the track that features a lyrical variation of Paganini by Rachmaninov, and a track on Corelli in the style of Tartini.
Two other beautiful cuts are the romantic "Caprice Viennois" and the Broadway- sounding "Tambourin Chinois."
Garrett has recaptured old masterpieces, adapted them to modern form, and demonstrated that great music is timeless.

Yesterday, Tuesday November 29, 2011, the Nigeria Senate unanimously outlawed same-sex marriages and banned public displays of affection between homosexual couples.
During the third reading, which determined the passage of the bill by the Senate, the Senators expressed their anger at the threats of aid conditionalities around homosexual rights expressed by the UK Prime Minister David Cameron in October.
In his statement the Senate President David Mark said, "Any country that does not want to give us aid or assistance, just because we hold on very firmly to our values, that country can (keep) their assistance."
He added, "No country has the right to interfere in the way we make our laws, as we do not interfere into others."
The bill appears different to that which was read at the public hearing a few weeks ago. Now, the bill additionally seeks to criminalise the registration of gay clubs, organisations and "same sex amorous relationships."
The bill spells out a 14-year jail term for anyone entering into same-sex marriage or civil union and any who abet or aid such unions will receive 10 years.
The Senate will now send the bill to the lower chamber of the National Assembly as constitutionally provided. Members of the House of Representatives are expected to read the bill three times before voting on it. After that the bill will be sent to the President for assent into law.
As it stands currently, the bill appears as a great threat to human rights promotion and protection in Nigeria.
The Director of Amnesty International's Africa Program- Erwin van de Borght said in a reaction to the unanimous vote at the Nigeria Senate yesterday, "By aiming to single out and deprive the rights of one group of people, this bill threatens all Nigerians by violating the country's constitution and international human rights obligations."
International opinion didn't seem to trouble lawmakers, some of whom laughed and joked during the debate.
One senator however worried that the bill would hinder the tradition of Nigeria's Igbo ethnic group in the southeast. In this community infertile wives are allowed to "marry" other women to bear their husbands' children.
Meanwhile, according to the Associated Press news Agency, one senator said gays suffer from a "mental illness."
If the bill becomes law, the new clauses added to the bill will have a negative effect on NGOs providing services to gay men and other men who have sex with men in Nigeria. These organizations, if registered, risk having their registration being cancelled.
So far, there has been no reaction from the National Agency on the Control of Aids (NACA) and other agencies addressing HIV and Aids issues amongst MSM in Nigeria.
Internationally the move by the Senate is regarded as a gross attempt to violate the human rights of Nigeria citizens. Nevertheless, the human rights community in Nigeria appears silent on the issue so far.
The fight against the bill has been that of a few human rights organizations, that believe in the universality of human rights: reinforcing that LGBT rights are human rights and should be promoted, protected and respected.
Currently, there is a perception of division within the Nigeria human rights community on the human rights of LGBTI persons in the Nigeria.

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Ashfaq Parvez Kayani on Monday set the cat among the pigeons with a speech that sought to stem the criticism faced by the country's military and to define boundaries for state institutions, though he refrained from naming any institution in particular.
Since his speech came at a time when the Army is under the Supreme Court's scanner for its role in politics — a fact established by the Asghar Khan case in which the then COAS and Director-General of Inter-Services Intelligence were found guilty of having tried to prevent Benazir Bhutto from being elected in 1990 — the consensus was that his words were directed against the Supreme Court.
'Not missiles and tanks'
With Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry asserting elsewhere on Monday that national security could no longer be defined in terms of number of missiles and tanks in a country's possession, speculation was rife that the two unelected institutions were on a collision course. Add to this President Asif Ali Zardari on Sunday describing the assaults on Parliament as "the dying kicks of an old order".
Addressing a group of officers at the General Headquarters, General Kayani said: "No individual or institution has the monopoly to decide what is right or wrong in defining the ultimate national interest."
The Army has often been criticised for defining national interest and tailoring state policy to further that cause. In fact, many of the problems facing Pakistan today are attributed to the narrow definition of national interest through a security prism.
'Right way forward'
Further, General Kayani said: "We all agree that strengthening the institutions, ensuring the rule of law and working within the well defined bounds of the constitution is the right way forward. Weakening of the institutions and trying to assume more than one's due role will set us back."
Stating that the armed forces draw their "strength from the bedrock of the public support", the COAS added: "Therefore, any effort which wittingly or unwittingly draws a wedge between the people and the armed forces of Pakistan undermines the larger national interest. While constructive criticism is well understood, conspiracy theories based on rumours which create doubts about the very intent are unacceptable."
In an indication that recent investigations into the role of some retired generals in different scams was playing on his mind, General Kayani said: "While individual mistakes might have been made by all of us in the country, these should be best left to the due process of law. As we all are striving for the rule of law, the fundamental principle — that no one is guilty until proven — should not be forgotten. Let us not pre-judge anyone, be it a civilian or a military person and extend it, unnecessarily, to undermine respective institutions."
The COAS' remarks left Pakistan's "chattering classes" wondering with author Mohammad Hanif tweeting: "Did General Kayani just mumble a threat?" Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's daughter Maryam Nawaz Sharif said: "The first time I see hope. Extra-constitutional powers on defence. Augurs well for a strong, democratic Pakistan." Politicians — the daily target of attack from the courts and the media — did not miss the opportunity to point out that the Army was bristling with anger over criticism for coming from some individuals while the political class was being vilified in toto for the misdeeds of some individuals.
