Mercedes 'welcome' summons to appear at a FIA hearing into Barcelona tyre test
Brackley team pledge to reveal the "full facts" behind 'secret' event
By Pete Gill. Last Updated: 08/06/13 8:36am
Both Mercedes and Pirelli are to appear before a FIA tribunal

Mercedes have reacted to their summons for a hearing of the FIA International Tribunal into their three-day tyre test with Pirelli by insisting they "welcome the opportunity" to state their case.
The summons, issued late on Wednesday night, has overshadowed the build-up to this weekend's Canadian GP and continues to cast a cloud over the Mercedes team despite their unexpectedly-competitive start to the 2013 season culminating in Nico Rosberg's faultless victory at last week's Monaco GP.
With the FIA subpoena warning that the 'conditions' of the secret test, staged between May 15 and May 17 at Barcelona in the week after the Spanish GP, 'may constitute a breach of the applicable FIA rules', the threat of a points deduction hangs over the team, but Mercedes remain adamant they haven't committed any wrongdoing.
"Mercedes-Benz acknowledges the decision of the FIA to take the matter of the Pirelli Test before the International Tribunal," the team announced in a statement on Thursday.
"We welcome the opportunity to explain the full facts of the Pirelli test in an open and transparent manner at the International Tribunal.
"Sporting integrity is of primary importance to Mercedes-Benz and we have the utmost confidence in the due process of the FIA."
With an investigation into Ferrari's post-Bahrain test dropped after the Scuderia reassured the FIA they only used their 2011 car with test driver Pedro de la Rosa behind the wheel, the focus of the tribunal is set to be Mercedes' decision to run their 2013 model, the W04, with regular race drivers Lewis Hamilton and Rosberg on duty.
While Mercedes have hitherto strenuously insisted that they sought and received permission from the governing body to run the test, the decision of the FIA to summon both the Brackley-based outfit and Pirelli, the sport's sole tyre supplier, would certainly suggest they do not share that outlook.
A date for the hearing has not yet been determined.

Hi All,
I'm trying to get a search form working returning the results in a webgrid on a partial view. I have the form working and returning the data in the webgrid. However when I try and page through the data the partialview disappears because the web grid is calling a HttpGet so my partial view no longer exists on the page.
so what i have is
The Ajax form
@Using Ajax.BeginForm("Search", "Home", New AjaxOptions() With { _ .InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace, .UpdateTargetId = "results", .HttpMethod = "Post", .LoadingElementId = "loading"}) @Html.ValidationSummary(True) 'Search Options Here
 <input type="submit" value="Search" />
 </fieldset> @

 End Using
The Search functions in the Home controller
<HttpPost()> Function Search(model As Models.SearchViewModel) As ActionResult If db Is Nothing Then db = New AppDbEntities() End If 'CODE TO GET THE SEARCH RESULTS HERE AS RESULTS OBJECT Dim data As List(Of vw_SearchResults) = results.ToList Return PartialView("_SearchResults",data) End Function <HttpGet()> Function Search() As ActionResult Return View() End Function
And then the partial view
@ModelType List(Of vw_SearchResults) @Code ViewData("Title") = "Search Results" Dim grid = New WebGrid(rowsPerPage:="5", _ canPage:=True, _ cansort:=True, _ ajaxUpdateContainerId:="grid") grid.Bind(source:=Model, rowCount:=Model.Count) grid.Pager(WebGridPagerModes.All) End Code @grid.GetHtml(htmlAttributes:=New With {Key .id = "grid"}, _ columns:=grid.Columns(grid.Column("Firstname"), _ grid.Column("Surname"), _ grid.Column("Date_Of_Birth")))
Can anyone help me with this, I've tried using the ajaxupdateCallback option to call the httppost version of my search function, which works in that I can see it calling the code and I can see the results returned in fiddler but nothing appears in the browser.

A beautiful face can compensate for other imperfections, such as hair that frizzes or hands that steal. Put your best face forward with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $95 for three 60-minute European facials (a $255 value)
- $65 for one 60-minute reflexology session (a $70 value) and one 60-minute European facial (an $85 value; a $155 total value)
- $35 for one 60-minute European facial (an $85 value)

After a skin analysis, an aesthetician deep cleans, exfoliates, and steams the face during the facial. While a facial mask penetrates the skin, aestheticians massage hands and feet; the treatment closes with a scalp massage.

The Skin Care Studio
Raindrop therapy sounds like it can only be administered by a storm or Julie Andrews, but at The Skin Care Studio, it is administered by licensed aesthetician Debra McClennan-Wagner. During the treatment, she cultivates balance within the body, incorporating an array of pure essential oils. Also certified in reflexology, McClennan-Wagner's expertise doesn't end there—she also specializes in facials. Her clinic's skincare treatments range from the exfoliation, steam, and scalp massage of a traditional European facial to higher-tech oxygen facials and photofacials, which combat signs of aging with therapeutic light. To foster long-term skin health, McClennan-Wagner complements her facials with educational tips on home skincare.

Set on the banks of azure Lake Geneva, stately Geneva is quintessential Switzerland: sleek, efficient and diplomatic. Quite fitting for the city where the great art of Swiss watchmaking originated. And, like its luxury watches and the jewels sold in its high-end shops, Geneva sparkles, from its tranquil gardens and lakeside promenades to the gushing plume of the famed Jet d'Eau.
Welcome to Geneva
Given its long history as a place of refuge (Voltaire, Lord Byron and Jean Calvin are only a few of the notables who've sought shelter here), it's no surprise that Geneva is exceedingly peaceful. The cobblestone streets of quaint Old Town pay tribute to Roman origins and the start of the Protestant Reformation. And along the slick right bank, home to the UN and the International Red Cross, there's a more polished, international vibe. Even industrial Paquis, gritty by Swiss standards, still functions a chic hub of hip ethnic eateries and nightlife (of all sorts).

Missouri woman charged in good Samaritan death
Posted: March 6, 2014 at 4:19 p.m.
ST. LOUIS — A Franklin County, Mo., woman faces a negligent homicide charge in the northern Arkansas death of a Wildwood, Mo., man who pulled over to help after he saw her car crash on an interstate.
Fifty-one-year-old David P. Moessner was struck and killed on Feb. 28 by a different driver. The public relations manager at AT&T in St. Louis was driving with his wife to visit their daughter at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 23-year-old Alexandra A. Adams of Washington, Mo., wrecked her SUV in an I-540 construction zone near Springdale. Moessner was on the highway shoulder trying to help Adams and an injured passenger when he was hit by another car that had swerved to avoid halted traffic. Adams is also charged with driving while intoxicated.

Really good, as it was being recorded for HD (as you'd expect) - which means the sets have to look very good these days. The walls (golden colour) looked real, and there's a big screen that shows the categories, clips and the vault in the middle, along with two fake vaults at the sides.
HIGNFY (which I am going to in a couple of weeks!) has a pretty ropey set, but then you don't really see much of it.

Sid Stankovitz immediately puts you in the mind of a star from a Hollywood movie; no one in particular, but a composite of all of them.
It extends from his shop full of adherents eagerly waiting throughout the morning for his arrival, to the way he actually makes it – a slow, dramatic crawl through the parking lot in his fully restored and customized, black 1936 Plymouth that, once parked, gently lowers itself to the blacktop on hydraulic lifts. Out he comes.
And then there is the story of how he became Sid.
With Sid, there is never a last name.
Just Sid.
For the past 18 years, he has run Sid's Tattoo Parlor on Ponderosa Street in Santa Ana, which is now a mecca for artists from around the world. A New Zealander, eager to just be in the same room as Sid, has been plying his trade in a backroom for weeks now.
"Sid is just that good," says Chris Mordin, 32, almost with awe.
He has been a Sid adherent since he was 15, regularly coming into the shop, begging Sid for a job. Finally getting the message, he went elsewhere to apprentice and worked five more years before Sid agreed to take him back, but only as an apprentice, which he remains. Mordin eagerly accepted.
Sid's place sits in a strip mall that has seen better days. It is surrounded by a barber shop, two "massage" shops and a "pub and grub" joint.
"Used to be a really nice place," Mordin tells me as we await Sid. Then, looking around, he adds: "It's the economy."
Sid is 42 now, and married to Jennifer. They have five children. Behind the fancy sunglasses he wears on this day is a black eye he picked up the other day on a business trip to Hawaii.
"Long story," is all he will say of it.
I just wanted to know how he became Sid.
"Oh, way back then, things were a lot different," he begins. "There was no Internet, only a few shops. And the business was so closed off, you couldn't even find out a supplier's name. You'd go in and ask, and they'd kick you out. You weren't going to learn their secrets. The Internet changed everything."
He was 12 when his brother introduced him to rockabilly music, whose musicians then all sported tattoos of all types – pinups, panthers, eagles and the like. They were, he said, "so cool."

With exceptional surround sound reproduction and high definition DVD playback, the Panasonic SC-PT750 5.1-Channel Home Theater System will take your home theater experience to new heights with 1000W of power. In the convenience of your own home, you can finally watch your favorite movies come alive with the SC-PT750. It offers you the same surround sound entertainment value you would expect from a night out at the movies, without having to buy a ticket.
The SC-PT750 system is a full-function audio/video control center, it combines a powerful 5.1-channel AM/FM receiver with an integrated progressive-scan 5-disc DVD player capable of 720p, 1080i and 1080p video up-scaling for HDTV playback. The SC-PT750 offers iPod connectivity, wireless rear audio ready, expandable to multi-room wireless audio (requires optional kit), EZ Sync HDAVI Control, XD Satellite Radio Ready, and a four-step 250W subwoofer with level control.
If you want a unified, stylish, and easy-to-set-up home theater system, look no further than the Panasonic SC-PT750. In one box, you get everything you need to treat yourself to superb DVD imagery and earth moving surround-sound.
- Exceptional Performance
- The SC-PT750 has playback specifications that meet the standards of professionals such as a 480i/480p component video output for high-resolution low-distortion video and an HDMI output for high definition video playback.
- Progressive Scan Playback
- The 5-disc SC-PT750 is a progressive scan DVD player. By scanning an entire video frame at once, scan-lines commonly associated with interlaced video are drastically reduced. The result is a spectacularly clear image with no motion artifacts (stair-stepping), and details so sharp they seem as if they're etched onto the screen.
- Multi-Format Playback Capability
- The SC-PT750 offers a full-range of playback capabilities for enjoying movies, music and images. It will playback DVD-Audio/Video, DVD-R/W, DVD-RAM, CD, CD-R/RW, SVCD, VCD, MP3, WMA, JPEG.
- High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) Output
- If you're looking to pump high-definition DVD playback into your home theater, the SC-PT750 will do the job. It has an integrated digital processor capable of upconverting video signals to 720p, 1080i and 1080p through the HDMI output.
- EZ Sync HDAVI Control
- This is a convenient feature that offers linked operation (through the HDMI connection) of this unit and Panasonic TV (VIERA) with EZ Sync HDAVI Control. When connected, you can turn on your home theater system and television, and start playing a disc in the play position with a single press of a button.
- Digital Surround Sound
- Panasonic's SC-PT750 reproduces Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital and DTS audio at a frequency response of 120Hz - 20kHz. The dynamic range of the SC-PT750 is so well balanced and matched that the center, front and rear channels blend seamlessly.
- Wireless Surround Speakers
- With the SH-FX65/SE-FX65 wireless kit (included), the rear surround speakers can be placed anywhere in your home theater without running wires from the receiver to the rear speakers. Also, you can expand the SC-PT750 system to three additional rooms with the optional SH-FX85 wireless multi-room speaker kit.
- iPod Connectivity
- SC-PT750 offers the ability to connect your iPod with the Universal Dock (included). Your iPod effectively becomes another Panasonic component flowing through the SC-PT750.
- XM Satellite Radio Ready
- The SC-PT750 is an XM-Ready receiver, capable of receiving uninterrupted XM (optional service) radio programming. XM Satellite Radio offers XM-HD Surround, which provides 5.1-channel surround sound audio of over 150 digital channels.
- Magnetically Shielded
- The four satellite and center speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent picture interference when placed near your TV or display.
- Full-Feature Remote Control
- Included with this package is a full-feature remote control capable of executing every command from any angle up to ±30°.
- Stylish Design
- The SC-PT750 will complement any home decor with sleek contours and a decorative black finish.

BEAVERCREEK, Ohio — An estimated 150 to 200 people gathered at the Beavercreek Walmart parking lot on Sunday in support of the city police department following an officer-involved shooting earlier this month.
Beavercreek Police Department supporters said they were sympathetic toward law enforcement officers who routinely risk their lives and personal safety for the community.
Sunday's rally marked the most recent organized event related to the shooting death of 22-year-old John Crawford III, of Fairfield, who was killed by Beavercreek officers on Aug. 5 while holding a Crosman MK-177 air rifle inside Walmart. Beavercreek Police Chief Dennis Evers has said officers fired their weapons after Crawford failed to follow commands to drop a weapon.
Mike Crain, a police chaplain and a Huber Heights resident, said the gathering was not anti-Crawford family. He said the group was pro-police, but still respected the victims.
"I want the Beavercreek Police Department to see that they have support," Crain said. "I would like community to see that it's OK to support your police department, but I would also like for them to maybe see that police officers are human. They have emotions."
Crain and others at the rally said they supported the city police department as well as the officers who fired their weapons at the victim inside the Walmart.
"So even if something comes out that something was done incorrectly or wrong, I'm still going to support them because that's who I am," Crain said.
A special prosecutor from Hamilton County will begin presenting the case to the grand jury on Sept. 22. to determine whether criminal charges will be filed against Beavercreek Police Officer Sean Williams or Sgt. David Darkow.
Beavercreek officials have not said which officer fired the fatal shot. Darkow has returned to work while Williams remains on administrative leave, the city confirmed.
Crain said no other rallies have been scheduled, but he is working on requests for armbands and T-shirts showing support for the law enforcement department.
Sandy Kucinsky, a Beavercreek resident, also said she supported the officers who fired their weapons and the department.
"They put their lives on the line everyday for us and they never know what they're walking into," she said. "They get that call and they don't know what to expect."
Susan White, a Washington Twp. resident, said the issue hit close to home with her. Her son and husband are police officers, she said.
White said she supported the police department and the officer who fired his weapon because the officer should have due process.
"The stress that ensues, after they do a shooting, is incredible on the officer as well as the families and friends. None of them go to work and want this to happen," she said.
More than midway through the event, the rally was disrupted when an unidentified man wearing a green mask circled the crowd with a video camera and asked: "Do you support killers?"
Five other demonstrators stood toward the back of the parking lot, several feet from those supporting Beavercreek police, holding signs that read "Badges Don't Grant Rights" and "Toy Guns Don't Kill People. Cops Do."
They declined to be interviewed saying they had concerns about "work."
Members of the crowd asked the unidentified man to remove his mask. When he refused, they called him a coward.
Crain said he expected the demonstrators.
"We just take it as it comes," he said. "We reinforced what we told everybody. Don't worry about the detractors. Come in and focus on your mission that is showing support for Beavercreek Police."
On Saturday, hundreds of people gathered in the same parking lot to call for the release of the Walmart video surveillance footage that shows officers shooting Crawford inside the store.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has allowed Crawford's family to view to the surveillance video, but has not released it to the public stating it be the equivalent of "playing with dynamite" if the video were released before it was seen by a grand jury.

|Clemson's passing game racking up yardage, TDs
|Written by Admin
|Sunday, 04 November 2012 07:39
By AARON BEARD
AP Sports Writer
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - Clemson's passing attack looks as though it's still improving entering the final month of the regular season.
The 10th-ranked Tigers had 718 yards - 379 through the air - during their 56-20 win at Duke on Saturday night. Tajh Boyd passed for five touchdowns to match the program record for the second straight game, while DeAndre Hopkins had three TD catches to set a school record for most career touchdown catches.
Boyd says he feels the Tigers are ``starting to peak'' entering the final stretch.
Boyd completed 16 of 23 passes for 344 yards, though he did most of that damage by halftime. After throwing for a Clemson-record 428 yards last week, Boyd has thrown for 772 yards and 10 touchdowns in the past two games.

Knoxville reviewing policy on booting unpaid parked vehicles
Those boots were made for lockin'.
A spate of immobilizing boots placed on vehicle wheels has caused confusion among some downtown Knoxville motorists, leading City Council to review its policy on how drivers can be penalized for failing to pay for parking on private lots.
Confusion is afoot, according to city officials.
"We promote free parking downtown in city-owned lots and city-owned garages," Christi Branscom, Knoxville's chief operating officer and deputy to Mayor Madeline Rogero, said Thursday. "People drive downtown and they see the private lots and they make the assumption."
The assumption that all parking lots downtown are free after working hours is incorrect, however. While city lots offer free parking in the evenings and weekends, many private lots charge round-the-clock.
And some cars have been tagged with multiple boots, a removal fee of $75 each.
"We're proposing a policy change, and we'll be taking something to City Council in the next meeting," Branscom said, "limiting them to only one boot per car."
Councilman Marshall Stair, a downtown resident, said he's aware of the issue.
"It's frustrating and disappointing that they're booting people's cars on first offenses," he said. "I assume, it looks to me, like it's just for easy revenue."
Whatever the case for the recent proliferation of boots, Stair is among other elected officials unhappy with the situation.
Knox County Commissioner Ed Shouse said he's concerned what the boots could do to the image of a bustling downtown.
"On a Saturday, I saw eight cars booted in one hour," he said, "and three of them were out of state."
He and others agree that drivers should understand the difference between public and private lots, but Shouse added that out-of-towners may not be as savvy as locals on where and when to park for free.
"You expect it in Chicago or New York or Washington, D.C.," Shouse said, "but not in Knoxville."
City Council is expected to review any policy change during its Aug. 6 meeting.

Mac Pro Storage solutions for photography
Hi All,
I have a Mac Pro 2009 (2.26GHz Quad) thats recently started to fall behind. The machine is used as a photo workstation, and is home to some ten-thousand raw-files from a 5Dii. Daily usage consist of organising in Aperture 3 and further processing in PS5. I find that looking through photos in Aperture is really slow, and opening/saving PSD files is insane slow since filesizes usually lie between 200-400MB.
I've decided to put in a SSD to use as a boot drive, and separate OS and applications from the rest of the content that is headed to another/other disk(s). My question to you is how I can best store the raw files and PSD files on one or more other disks for better performance. Currently SSD's are too expensive to store anything other than the OS and applications. Could two or more HDD's in raid 0 be a viable solution as storage for images? I've been reading around for some time about the pros and cons of raid 0, and have come to understand that frequent and small read/write operations will not see any dramatic difference in performance compared to a single disk. In my case, however, where read/write actions will be fewer but in return with larger files, what would the performance difference be?
If raid 0 with traditional 3.5 "HDD's is the way to go, what drives you would recommend?
I back-up on regular basis and automatically with an external firewire drive using time machine, so I'm not too afraid of data loss.
In advance, thanks for all help!

SNELLVILLE — Residents and city leaders will reconvene again Tuesday to adopt a visioning plan for the city's much-publicized Town Center. Tuesday's presentation and reception will follow three previous public meetings and workshops in which city leaders, staff and planners offered and listened to ideas from anyone who wished to contribute.The plan is to develop a master strategy for Town Center that addresses the needs and wants of Snellville residents, as well as attracts visitors and businesses to the area. According to mayor pro tem Barbara Bender, "We hope to come out with at least an idea of what the city can be in the future." Bender has been a key player in driving the visioning process. Pharris named 2010 Volunteer of the Year Marcy Pharris was named Snellville's 2010 Volunteer of the Year by proclamation during Monday night's city council meeting. Pharris chairs the city's Board of Appeals and is a familiar face at most Snellville events. She has also been an important force behind the city's successful farmer's market and is a proponent of programs that benefit the police department. In lieu of an acceptance speech Monday, Pharris simply said, "Thank you."

The West Jefferson baseball team finds itself tied atop the Mid-State League Ohio Division standings after an impressive victory over Columbus Academy Thursday, April 17.
The Roughriders (9-3, 5-1) dumped the Vikings 7-2 to grab a share of the league lead.
"We knew going into the game that they are a very strong team, their pitching is what we were really worried about," West Jeff coach Jason Bogenrife said. "But you know we take the attitude of we're going to win this game no matter who we're playing and where the game is at.
"That's the new era of West Jeff baseball. We're going to play you tough and we expect to come away with a win."
The victory over Academy was a return to the norm for West Jeff starting pitcher Caleb Ferguson. The lefty started the season with back-to-back shutout victories, but was touched up in his last outing. He didn't have his best stuff against the Vikings, but he was able to make pitches and get key outs when he needed to.
Against the talented Vikings (8-2, 5-1) lineup he allowed just four hits. Alex Wihl came in during the sixth inning to get the final outs.
"Caleb didn't have his good stuff, his velocity wasn't there, but he was able to fight and threw strikes," the coach said. "He gave us a strong outing."
Each team scored a first inning run, but the Roughriders got a pair in each of the third, fifth and seventh innings to break things open. Academy scored a seventh-inning run.
Ferguson had two hits and Chandler Perry was 3 for 4 at the plate.
"We're very pleased with where we're at," Bogenrife said. "We have a lot of work to do. We've got London and Bexley this (upcoming) week in the league. We haven't seen London yet, and we played a tight one with Bexley the first time around so we know it won't be easy."
Elgin 3,
Jonathan Alder 1
The plug apparently has been pulled on the Jonathan Alder baseball team's offensive production.
After starting the season 6-0 and scoring 58 runs in the process, the Pioneers have struggled in the last week, scoring a grand total of two run in three tough losses.
The latest setback was a 3-1 loss at Elgin Thursday, April 17. Alder could only muster four hits and scored the lone run, leaving starting pitcher Mitchell Eye with nothing to show from a strong pitching performance.
Elgin had just the three runs on six hits. The loss drops the Pioneers three games behind the league leading squad from Elgin (9-0, 6-0).
The team will look to get back on track when it travels to River Valley Wednesday, April 23. River Valley started the current losing streak for Alder with a 2-0 shutout of the Pioneers. The other loss was a 3-1 defeat against North Union Wednesday, April 16.
Madison-Plains 10,
Grove City
Christian 1
The Golden Eagles (2-8, 1-5) picked up their first-non-league victory of the season with a 16-hit effort at Grove City Christian (5-4) Thursday, April 17.
Plains jumped out on top early by plating two runs in the first inning and three more in the second. The team went on to score runs in five of the seven innings.
Brandon Gartin picked up the win on the mound, as he scattered three hits, allowed a run in a complete game effort.
Grandview 4,
London 3
The Red Raiders (3-7, 1-5) had a 3-1 lead heading into the sixth inning of their MSL Ohio match-up at Grandview Thursday, April 17, but couldn't hold on for a win.
The Bobcats scored a run in the sixth inning and a pair in the bottom of the seventh to steal the victory.
Brok Bennett was the hard-luck loser in the game. On a positive note, the string of errors that plagued the Raiders in a loss Wednesday against Columbus Academy were not an issue as London played error-free baseball.

Accordingly, secondary analyses of the data in VSD databases would add to current knowledge and help answer the four primary research questions listed in Box 6-1. For example, in a review of alternative immunization schedules in the Kaiser Permanente Colorado system, VSD researchers initiated a retrospective matched cohort study to examine patterns and trends for children defined as undervaccinated at ages 2 to 24 months and compared the health care utilization rates between undervaccinated children and children vaccinated at the appropriate age.
Eight sites in the VSD participated in this study. Of 323,247 children born (within the participating managed care organization sites) between 2004 and 2008, 48.71 percent were considered undervaccinated for at least 1 day before age 24 months. The prevalence and specific patterns of undervaccination significantly increased across the study duration. In a matched cohort analysis, undervaccinated children had a significantly lower outpatient visit rate (11 percent) than did children who were vaccinated in an age-appropriate manner. In contrast, undervaccinated children had significantly greater (25 percent more) inpatient hospital admission rates than did children vaccinated at the appropriate age.
In a second matched cohort analysis, children who were undervaccinated because of parental choice had fewer outpatient visits and emergency room encounters than did children vaccinated at the appropriate age. In this second matched cohort analysis, no significant detectable difference in inpatient visit rates was detected between the two groups. Among children considered undervaccinated for any reason, 1,399 instances of undervaccination (variations in immunization history that could indicate alternative schedules) were detected. Among children undervaccinated because of parental choice, 756 distinct instances of undervaccination were detected (Glanz et al., 2013). More study will clearly be needed to draw conclusions

Ted sequel confirmed
Seth MacFarlane directs this film about a man whose teddy bear comes to life when a childhood wish comes true. McFarlane voices the bear (Ted), while Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis also star.
A 'Ted' sequel has been confirmed.
Universal Pictures have revealed they will make a follow-up to Seth MacFarlane's box office hit - a comedy about a teddy bear that comes to life, starring Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis - and the studio wants to get the project started ''as soon'' as they can.
As well as a sequel to 'Ted', which grossed close to $400 million worldwide, Universal have also confirmed another film will be released in the 'Bourne' franchise.
The fourth instalment of the action thriller - which starred Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz - was a hit at the box office and producers want to explore their characters more in another film.
Producer Frank Marshall said: ''We're gonna follow Jeremy's character. Everything else is wide open. That's the great thing about this now. The table is set to go any direction we want to. But we will, I'm sure, follow Jeremy and see what happens. Jeremy and Rachel [Weisz].''
The first three 'Bourne' movies starred Matt Damon as Jason Bourne and the actor has recently said he would like to reprise his character again and star alongside Jeremy.

Botaurus lentiginosus
Although not particularly small (around 23 inches), the American Bittern's mottled brown plumage and short, thick build provide it with excellent camouflage in its heavily vegetated habitat. This heron may be best identified by its coloration, short yellow legs, white throat, and black neck stripes. Male and female American Bitterns are similar to one another in all seasons. The American Bittern breeds widely across the northern United States and the southern half of Canada. In winter, American Bitterns migrate to coastal areas of the United States south to Mexico, Central America, and the West Indies. This species may be found all year along the Pacific coast as well as in the Mid-Atlantic Region. American Bitterns breed primarily in shallow, heavily-vegetated freshwater wetlands. In winter, this species utilizes many of the same habitat types as in summer, but some bitterns wintering close to the coast may be found in brackish water. American Bitterns primarily eat animal matter, both invertebrates (mainly insects) and vertebrates (including fish, amphibians, and small mammals). Due to its short stature and the nature of its habitat, American Bitterns are difficult to observe while feeding or standing still. Bitterns may be more visible in the air, undertaking short flights above the top of the marsh grass. This species is primarily active during the day.

Hornblower going hybrid for fleet with electric power
The ropes were untied, the harbor cruiser was floating free, and Capt. Nick Kriesel pushed the throttle as he worked the wheel, kicking powerful motors into action.
The air on San Diego Bay was filled with — the sound of splashing water.
The signature roar and smoke of a harbor boat pulling away from the dock were missing as the Hornblower Hybrid's big diesel engines remained silent.
Instead, electric motors driven by battery power pushed the boat through the water. Above the wheelhouse, electric wind turbines spun in a sea breeze and solar panels converted sunlight into power.
The visiting ship, which spends its summers ferrying San Francisco tourists to Alcatraz, is a model of what San Diego's largest harbor cruise line says is the future — a ship that saves energy by using electricity to move around.
Electric propulsion on the water is not new, but it has been mostly limited to large, oceangoing ships such as cruise liners that use fuel oil to power generators, or aircraft carriers and submarines that rely on nuclear power.
If you compare it to a car, this floating hybrid is more like a plug-in Chevy Volt than a Toyota Prius.
It relies on lead-acid batteries charged while it is plugged in at dockside for much of its propulsion, so its diesel engines — which power generators, not propellers — need only run when it is going fast and steady.
At slow speeds, 3 or 4 knots, the ship can run for several hours on battery power alone.
"We're taking the diesel out of the picture when it's least efficient," said Hornblower's Cameron Clark, who was involved in the retrofit as the company's environmental director.
That means the 149-passenger ferry uses about 75 percent less diesel an hour than it did in its prior life as a commercial-diving catamaran in the Gulf Coast, he said.
Big power plants and solar and wind farms can produce electricity much more efficiently and with less pollution than onboard generators, Clark said. The electricity from the onboard wind turbines and solar panels is not used to move the boat, but rather for its lights, computers and other electrical equipment.
The ship is designed as a teaching tool, so many of its features are out in the open. The bar, for instance, features electrical equipment instead of liquor bottles.
And passengers can try to add to the electricity supply by pedaling an onboard exercise bicycle, though Clark concedes that the amount of power a person produces is so tiny that no one has succeeded in pushing a significant amount into the batteries.
The Hornblower Hybrid will be available for private events, harbor excursions and cocktail cruises in the next couple of months, and will take part in the San Diego Bay Parade of Lights.
Clark said the $4 million retrofit cost about 30 percent more than a typical upgrade, and it will take about six or seven years for the company to recoup its investment through lower fuel bills.

Ok, so Chapter 2 hasn't come up yet but there are many assumptions of where the idea of this new proffession came from. As I read through the freshly made threads of the Ritualist, I noticed that many people thought that it was a Druid or a Shaman rip-off . Like others have said before (from the Druid=Ritualist Thread) Rangers are more like the Druids because of the whole being one with nature, and I totally agree with that.
Here is what I think.
For those of you who played played Warcraft III: Frozen Throne before you'll probably know what I'm talking about. (Talking to WIII fans) Ok so do you guys remember the new Hero when the Frozen Throne came up called SHADOW HUNTER, which is the hero of the Troll nation. Basically the Shadow Hunter is a Witch Doctor that uses his Voodoo Magic to aid Allies or harm enemies. Also the whole summoning of the spirits is pretty similar to the "Wards" of the Witch doctors in WIII, do you guys remember "Serpent ward" which is placed on a certain location to spit lava on enemies, another is the "Healing Ward" (not a shadow hunter skill - Witch doctor skill, a lower version) which is the AoE healing.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is where they get the idea from since the ANET employees are former Blizzard employees (duh). It will also make sense that the Ritualist came from the Witchdoctor because the main purpose of the WD is to be a support character, which what they're trying to do with the Ri to help the monks out.
Another thing that I noticed:
Druids are not Dark Savage Priests, they're tree hugging hippies and PETA employees. A Witch Doctor is more of a Dark Priest because of their Voodoo Magicks...hexing people (I wish Ritualists can turn people into Frogs) while helping your allies.Originally Posted by Mawgleah
So those are my thoughts, it was long....but thanks for reading

Located along Detroit's Cass Corridor, Slows To-Go is the first extension of Detroit's successful Slows BBQ franchise. Housed in a renovated 1926 Secretary of State office building, a 4,000 sf commissary was combined with a 2,000 sf barbecue carry-out to increase the capacity and creativity of the original Corktown restaurant. The reclaimed wood utilized for the interior was harvested from a deconstructed and restored apartment building on a neighboring block. While the exterior of the project strictly adheres to national preservation standards, allowing it to receive federal historic tax-credits, the interior provides a strikingly contemporary and vibrant atmosphere that is more revealing of the attitudes of both client and clientele. In Collaboration with uRban Detail LLC
In collaboration with VolumeOne, LLC. et al. was approached by the client to envision a plan for a 165,858 SF / 1,5408 sqm site in the community of Corktown, Detroit.
The design for St. Vincent is comprised of individual building types to include a community center as well as single and multi- family housing.
Dumbo's Front Street is host to the new 10,000 sq ft loft space set in what was once a Benjamin Moore Paint Factory. 1stAveMachine is an award-winning production company based in Brooklyn, that prides itself on the success of a collaborative work environment of director's artists, and designers. Taking inspiration from blended live workspaces and an interest in collaborative environments, the design promotes movement and conversation away from the confines of a desk or cubicle. Zones that inspire the exchange are integrated throughout. There is a picnic table for lunch breaks in an open kitchen with long tables and bar area. In addition to the workstations and three large edit suites, a second kitchen and lounge area with pool table and plasma TV provides a space where artists can take a break. Bike racks line the hallway just past a coffee bar where people can congregate for casual meetings.
The Red Bull House of Art exhibition and residency is a 14,000 sq ft. complex housed in a former brewery located in Detroit's Eastern Market. The incubator contains shared artist studios, a fabrication shop, a lounge space, administrative offices, and a public gallery / exhibition space. The project serves as a prototype for the Red Bull community arts project, which is modeled from their success with the Red Bull Music Academy. The House of Art is designed as a series of extended thresholds that transition first the artist and then the visitor through temporal experiences.
Housed in the historical Halloween building located in the Flat Iron district overlooking Madison Square Park, Innocor Comfort has a clean, crisp, and smart new showroom. Flexibility was the key design element, allowing the internal Interior Design team an opportunity to adapt the show room to the ever changing seasons. Modular and mobile furniture anchor in multiple ways to the main showroom space, fixed floor to ceiling display system help guide the visitors throughout.
The showroom was designed specifically to allow multiple clients to meet simultaneously. The main showroom space (approx. 3200 SF) employs an L - shaped display system that divides the open public show room space and a more private zone while linking small and large conference rooms, kitchen and admin spaces. This project was done in collaboration with Rozlyn Cmiel of Cobalt Interiors.
Kee's chocolates is a world renowned chocolatier situated at 80 Thompson St. in Soho, Manhattan. This interior renovation was completed in collaboration with Susan Sloan of slo.vis studio.
A floor to ceiling wood-slatted wall is integrated with Kee's signature packaging boxes and links the front to the back of the interior space. As the wall turns the corner, missing slats provide views and ventilation into back of house space. A new maple wood vestisure wraps the refrigerated chocolate cases rendering a more continuous and uniform space. A laser cut map of Manhattan was designed to wrap the cases while paying homage to the surrounding neighborhood.
Inner State Gallery's primary focus is on Urban Art. Working with leading and emerging artists from around the world, 1xRun is focused on bringing limited-edition time released artwork to collectors across the globe.
Drawn to the Eastern Market area in Detroit due to its increasing developing artist community, the 1xRun offices found an opportunity to continue their unique art distribution network in a new space, where single run prints and one offs can be printed on site, auctioned and showed publicly.
A new interior space layout arranged the existing function to house the 1st Floor Art Gallery, the 2nd floor 1xRun offices, and an art production basement with shipping & packaging.

This Park Slope home renovation was designed in collaboration with Susan Sloan of slo vis. The young family moving in envisioned a simple clean white palette.
Brooklyn Utopias?
In the fall and winter of 2009-2010 Brooklyn Utopias? provided a forum for artists young and old to pose questions about differing visions of an ideal Brooklyn.
et al. was commissioned to design and build the exhibition. Pallets were chosen as the primary material. We assembled them into interlocking towers that became organizational cues for the artwork. The rough and unfinished outermost surface of the each pallet was whitewashed. This visual tie to the existing museum walls and display systems allowed us to create the defined thematic zones.
Located in Detroit's Historic Corktown neighborhood, the sophisticated yet humble renovation plays an integral part of the neighborhood's cultural revival. The public presence of the historic facade provides the space with ample daylight and fresh air while rejuvenating the elegant details of the block. Reclaimed materials harvested from local buildings and milled by the owner were used in addition to period furniture pieces thus engaging the owners within the design process. Simple surface treatments create a calm atmosphere preserving center-stage for the customer.
The design of a 1,200 sf addition to a single family home that takes advantage of visual and physical connections of the indoor living spaces to the surrounding landscape. The project incorporates passive and active energy system upgrades for the home.
et al. collaborative was approached by Alumni co-owner, Gene Han, to redesign the new concept for the Crown Heights Brooklyn location for the recent rebranding of the store. Han and his family own a series of shoe stores across the Brooklyn area. Envisioning the Utica store as an anchor in the community, et al. was tasked with designing a flexible, safe, family-centered space that would serve as a positive influence on the surrounding neighborhood. As the neighborhood changes, Alumni hopes to continue to provide a space that impacts the quality and value of new development in the area.
Influenced by themes of revival, nostalgia and nature, the trees have been returned to the focal point of light in the home as lamps. et al.'s found materials come not only from holiday trees, but also fallen from storms, and discarded from landscaping projects. Each of the trees is carefully stripped of its branches and pine needles, which are donated to a neighboring rooftop garden for mulch. The fLume lamps are minimalist and organic, staying true to form. The pieces are intended for display according to what suits their natural shape; table top, hanging and floor standing. Each piece is one of a kind and uses exposed filament bulbs of various shapes and sizes
Owned by chef Andy Hollyday and Evan Hansen, this Cass Corridor eatery has been named by the Detroit Free Press as the Restaurant of the Year 2015. The design of the space is intended to reflect the restaurant's modern take on a seasonal rustic-style cuisine.

Tests and studies were conducted in order to understand the multiple effects of concrete surface with a variety of form-work. We derived a balanced aesthetic using clear plastic which would create a natural effect as the concrete cured. The metal connections were designed and tooled from one piece of metal. Each concrete curve was unique, although constructed with the same specifications, the overall movement effect was created by a 5 degree revolution. Adjustments of each 150 lb piece where possible through a metal threaded rod, used to connect and stabilize multiple curves.
With 350sf of existing space, the 12.5' ceiling allowed the addition of a 125sf sleeping loft to maximize square footage. With this unique element we allowed the apartment to inhale/exhale, through compressing and decompressing the space by alternating the ceiling heights The sleeping loft is womb-like; it's open, but the walls and ceiling cradle you to sleep. In addition, integrated storage into the structure of the mezzanine and custom built furniture helps rationalizing the space.
In 2008, local designers teamed up with small business owners and community members to engage the Roosevelt Park in the Corktown neighborhood of Detroit. The team sought to leverage and coordinate various volunteering and funding efforts that were abundant throughout the city. On a pro-bono basis, and with the direction of local non-profits and community members, this collaborative of creative professionals proposed an 'open framework' intended to evolve as community interaction with the park defined its program.
The vision for Roosevelt Park is one that would provide a range of public amenities to serve the local neighborhood on a daily basis, as well as provide a regional attraction by hosting planned musical, cultural, gastronomic, and athletic events. In collaboration with uRban Detail.
In collaboration with the BioLINIA LLC, et al. was asked by the client to envision the expansion of the engaging food and cultural district just east of downtown Detroit. Each of the proposed spaces is to serve as an example of blending healthy living and production based spaces into our daily rituals. The proposed renovations are housed in vacant or underutilized buildings at opposite ends of the market and serve as invitations into the district.
An exploration in material fabrication techniques and a crash course in marketing and economic price points for a new upstart furniture company. The original philosophy for the design is based on a double skin concept; the interior layer holds the trash and the exterior layer acts as a light weight perforated support structure for the body of the can. Working directly with the proprietor and the prototyper, Et al.'s laser cut aluminum piece was constructed and exhibited at Detroit's Re:View Contemporary Fine Art Gallery in 2009. Future iterations are in development composed from cast or formed plastic offering a more affordable price point.
In collaboration with industrial designer William Lee; LEAN is a sculptural yet simple piece designed to bring purpose to a universally under-utilized space; the corner. The versatile piece stands alone as a sculptural element, but also has dual functionality as furniture. When upright in a corner, LEAN is a chair that gains structural support from its adjacent walls. Set on its side, it becomes a coffee table with negative spaces for books and magazines. Fabricated in plywood, LEAN comes in a two-tone color which reinforces its geometric shape. In metal, the thin sheets combine durability with elegance.

Sometimes lost in all of the back and forth between Call of Duty and Battlefield is the fact that the Battlefield series is still an amazingly strong franchise.
Proof of that was given today when EA, during an investor's meeting, announced that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has now sold over 9 million copies across the various platforms.
During that same meeting, however, EA also mentioned that Battlefield 3 pre-orders are up more than 10x those of Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

NBA wager produces new slippers for poor kids
GASAN, Marinduque—For at least 1,000 public elementary school pupils from some of the poorest villages of Marinduque, a wager is not such a bad thing.
Thanks to a bet made on the recently concluded seven-game series between the San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat in the National Basketball Association (NBA), the children will have new pairs of slippers.
Floro "Boyet" Villamin Jr., a Marinduque-based photographer and graphic designer, started this friendly wager among his friends which earned for his charity work at least 1,000 pairs of slippers that his group is now distributing to the children, an effort which they called simply "Tsinelas Project."
Villamin said the idea started during the NBA Finals when a Filipino friend of his based in Australia, Elmer Sager, bet that if the Spurs won a game in the seven-game series against the Heat, he would bankroll a project for Villamin's group.
Villamin could not remember exactly which game it was, but he recalled that even if he and his other friends were for the Heat, they started rooting for the Spurs just so the Samahang Bonifacio at Rizal (Saboril), the name that Villamin and his friends gave their group, "could get those pairs of slippers."
Usual hangout
"The NBA Finals built new friendships. Our Miami-follower friends prayed for Spurs winning the game for more slippers," he said.
Villamin founded Saboril with his childhood friends and neighbors in Gasan, Marinduque and began doing community projects since 1999, the year Saboril was formed.
The group's name was derived from their usual hangout, the intersection of Bonifacio and Rizal Streets in Poblacion, Gasan, which served as their playground during their childhood days.
Villamin said the group had just finished a "Balik-Eskwela Project" that gave away school supplies to children in Gasan when he noticed that many of the children who received the supplies were without slippers.
Winning bet
After winning the bet for the Spurs, Saber, Villamin's Australia-based friend, bankrolled the purchase of 500 pairs of slippers.
Had the Spurs won the championship, Saber would have paid for 200 more pairs of slippers. The Heat won in seven games, though.
Despite the Spurs' defeat, however, Saboril continued to collect slippers from its other friends here and abroad, Villamin said, until the group was able to collect 1,000 pairs.
Saboril started distributing the slippers on July 1 in Gasan in four schools—Bahi Ilaya Elementary School, Quatis Elementary School, Pangi Elementary School and Matandang Gasan Elementary School.
On July 6, they went to Gaspar Island in Gasan to again distribute slippers to children there.
Today, Villamin's group is expected to be in Maniwaya Island in Sta. Cruz town also to distribute slippers.
The project is a result of collaboration between Saboril and Maulag (Mga Ulirang Anak ng Gasan), another group that Villamin helped found.
With help from some government agencies and private individuals, Villamin said his two groups are able to pursue community projects and environmental work in Marinduque.
Villamin has been leading charity work in Gasan since 2007 ranging from Christmas gift-giving projects to the distribution of school supplies to children.
"I'm doing it little by little," Villamin said. "I hope everyone would help each other and see what Marinduque and its children need," he said.

Federal Laws, Regulations, and Mandatory Standards to Securing Private Sector Information Technology Systems and Data in Critical Infrastructure Sectors
GAO-08-1075R: Published: Sep 16, 2008. Publicly Released: Sep 16, 2008.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Federal policy identifies 18 infrastructure sectors--such as banking and finance, energy, public health and healthcare, and telecommunications--that are critical to the nation's security, economy, public health, and safety. Because these sectors rely extensively on computerized information systems and electronic data, it is crucial that the security of these systems and data is maintained. Further, because most of these infrastructures are owned by the private sector, it is imperative that public and private entities work together to protect these assets. The federal government uses both voluntary partnerships with private industry and requirements in federal laws, regulations, and mandatory standards to assist in the security of privately owned information technology (IT) systems and data within critical infrastructure sectors. As agreed, our objectives were to (1) identify, for each critical infrastructure sector, the federal laws, regulations, and mandatory standards that pertain to securing that sector's privately owned IT systems and data and (2) identify enforcement mechanisms for each of the above laws, regulations, and mandatory standards.
There are at least 34 federal laws, regulations, and mandatory standards that pertain to securing privately owned IT systems and data in our nation's critical infrastructure sectors. Of the 34, 1 is a law, 25 are regulations, and 8 are mandatory standards. These requirements pertain to 10 of the 18 critical infrastructure sectors, including the agriculture and food; energy; nuclear reactors, materials, and waste; and transportation systems sectors. Each of the 34 federal legal requirements has at least one enforcement mechanism. These mechanisms include court injunctions, civil monetary penalties, criminal penalties, and administrative actions, such as license revocation and suspension. Typically, these mechanisms are what agencies use to enforce requirements in general, and are not necessarily specific to the requirements for securing privately owned IT systems and data.
