Prius Accounts for 10% of All New Passenger Car Sales in Japan in November
5 December 2009
Toyota's Prius maintained its top spot in Japan new passenger car sales in November for the seventh month in a row, posting 26,815 units, according to data from the Japan Automobile Dealers Association. Total passenger car sales for the month were 268,450 units.

Honda's Insight hybrid came in fifth in the overall rankings for the month, with 9, 413 units sold. Combined, the two dedicated hybrids accounted for 13.5% of new vehicle sales for the month.
Hybrids have remained popular with buyers in Japan due to tax breaks and subsidies offered toward the purchase of fuel-efficient models since April, according to the Nikkei.
Toyota's new SAI hybrid, which goes on sale on Monday, has already drawn pre-orders for some 14,000 units.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Prius Accounts for 10% of All New Passenger Car Sales in Japan in November:
This is amazing good news.
A single (Toyota Prius III) HEV captured 10% of the Japanese market. Two HEVs (Honda's and Toyata's) captured almost 14% of the local market.
This proves, that with proper incentives, over 50 mpg electrified vehicles will sell in very large numbers, even if price is higher. This is going to make non-believers and gatemakers feel sick.
Over 100 mpg PHEVs and BEVs will also sell amazingly well with higher fuel price and proper initial purchase incentives.
USA (Canada and others) need $7+/gal fuel and a meaningful incentive program to accellerate the introduction of HEVs, PHEVs and BEVs for at least the next 10 years.
Naysayers will hit the roof or try to run over electrified vehicles with their V-8 Hummers. I guess we will need laws against that.
The good news: Prius gets good mileage and saves oil.
The bad news: Prius is still mostly a ICE machine.
The summary: Toyota will keep selling them as long as they can.
Driver's strategy: Don't buy them now; wait for the BEVs to hit the market and see if the new BEVs meet your needs.
The goal is not to provide enough incentives for an EV to succeed but to provide an EV that succeeds WITHOUT incentives.
Oil and Gas people have been getting $15+B a year in incentives for a very long time.
Coal producers are getting almost as much.
Ethanol/corn producers get up to $24B a year.
Big-3 got over $35B.
Banks-Insurances and Wall Street Operators got over $700B.
The aircraft industries are getting over $25B a year in various incentives.
And the list is over a mile long...
Why not have a ($100+B a year) malus-bonus program to favour electrified non-polluting vehicles and penalize polluting vehicles by the same amount? It is working in many countries in Europe and in Japan.
The ethanol industry already has a similar program, i.e. an incentive of $0.45/gal paid (in part) with an import duty of $0.54/gal from the same (imported) ethanol.
If USA realy wants to reduce crude oil imports it has to reduce local consumption. Electrified vehicles (100,000,000+) will do that.
Starting with a Prius 50 mpg HEV is a very good first step. Prius IV will get 60+ mpg. Prius 2012 PHEVs will get 120+ mpg. Prius 2015/2016 BEVs will not use fuel. Ford (and a few others) is also going through the same progressive approach to electrified vehicles.
The world needs higher performance (500+ Wh/Kg), lower cost ($250/Kwh) batteries to mass produce affordable BEVs. Since such batteries may not be available before 2015/2016, HEVs and PHEVs will play a valuable role for at least one+ decade.
The transition from ICEs to BEVs will take 2 to 3 decades and that's about normal. By 2030 our current ICE gas guzzlers will cease to be used and you may have to go to a museum to see one of them.
Thanks for the info; figured Toyota had a transition plan for the Prius, just like all members of the AAMA have. I believe Nissan, not a member, is playing leap-frog and will pick up alot of early-adopters, especially if Nissan offers an upgrade path for their batteries. If you commute to work and your total range is less than about 80 miles, you may be a candidate for their new Leaf car. Also there are many retired people, like myself, who are not tied to schedules, who might be a candidate. I can hardly wait to see the Leaf on the roads.
"Oil and Gas people have been getting $15+B a year in incentives for a very long time."
You forget to mention the approx. $1000B in armed forces and covert protection given the industry over the last 50 years. Almost always unaccounted for. In which case the other subsidies pale.
How much are the incentives there in Japan worth? The figures I've seen don't seem to show what a huge difference it seems to have made in sales.
Maybe it's the combination in incentives adding up? How much are people saving over there?
@Hybrid Car Review
Prius case:
acquisition tax: 81k JPY -> 0
weight tax: 57.6k JPY -> 0
cache back: 100k JPY for new car purchase or 350k JPY for replacing more than 13 yrs old car (must be scrapped)
Lad: - I too hope that Nissan-Renault (and many others) will succeed in their all out efforts with BEVs + battery factories in Japan, USA/Tennessee and Portugal and in many other countries.
Of course, BEVs are the ultimate final solution if and when batteries performance and cost have been successfully addressed. However, PHEVs may be more suited for longer range applications. Pure BEV may not be well suited for heavy long range buses, trucks and locomotives where PHEVs with fuel cell range extender may do it better and relatively clean.
PHEVs and BEVs may co-exist for an extended period in many applications.
Meanwhile, most technologies developed for HEVs will be used for first generation PHEVs and BEVs. Nothing is realy wasted.

College becomes Newmarket Academy in partnership with Samuel Ward school in Haverhill
Posted: July 01, 2014|
Newmarket College made the final step in its transformation to Newmarket Academy yesterday.
The Academy has joined forces with the Samuel Ward Academy in Haverhill, to help achieve plans to become an "outstanding provider of education".
Nick Froy, acting head of school, said: "I am delighted to be part of the Academy Trust.
"We have been lucky to have been working with Howard Lay and his team throughout the year.
"I share the values of the Trust which are entirely focused around the needs of the young people.
"I am confident that the Trust will help us accelerate the transformation of the Academy without losing the unique "Newmarket" identity."
Changes for the Academy have already been introduced, and students will return to school in September with new uniforms and new houses.
Howard Lay, chief executive of Samuel Ward, said: "This is an important stage in the improvement journey of Newmarket College.
"Newmarket Academy will become a school the local community will be proud of, a school that supports the aspirations of its young people, their skills and abilities and strong academic achievement."

Chinese Studies
Embrace opportunities by accepting challenges and differences
With China becoming a very important role player in the world, Chinese studies is extremely meaningful for the students whose dream is to impact and change the world. China is still the less-known part of the world where the present is complicated and exciting, and the future is full of unpredictability, possibilities and opportunities.
Why Choose Chinese Studies at Willamette University?
Chinese Studies at Willamette University is founded on a broad scope of curriculum in multiple disciplines. Accomplished faculty in history, international politics, economics, folklore, religion, art, traditional and modern Chinese culture, Chinese media and film, gender studies, anthropology, and many other fields have created a rich pool of courses focusing on China. Students can easily find the courses that are interesting to them. Language students are taught in small and dynamic classes within a community where the number of Chinese speaking students are increasing at a very fast pace. Students can join Chinese garden trips, cultural lectures, and other cultural activities to enhance their understanding of the Chinese language and culture.
Chinese Studies at Willamette University helps students to start, improve and excel in language and culture studies. Our large group of Chinese speaking students has created a welcoming environment for students to practice the Chinese language, exchange ideas, and discuss Chinese social issues and contemporary culture. New learners can participate in the Chinese Student Association's activities and events, meet people, make friends, and become active contributors to the Willamette campus life that respects and celebrates diversity. Advanced students can participate in the Saturday Exploration Program, teaching youth the Chinese language, helping Salem-area middle school students start and improve their Chinese language skills, touring Chinese visiting students and scholars, and tutoring students in need.
Students are encouraged and well supported to study abroad in China. The sister schools, Xiamen University (Xiamen), East China University of Politics and Law (Shanghai), and Lingnan University (Hong Kong), are located in different regions in China to adapt to students' different interests. In addition, the Willamette faculty is always willing to help students find other universities and programs based on their study goals.
A major in Chinese Studies
In the past years, a major in Chinese Studies at Willamette University has:
- Helped students pursue their studies in graduate programs in prestigious institutions, such as the University of Washington (Seattle, WA)
- Helped students to succeed in job market, such as a market analyst focusing on China at Bemis Associates (Boston, MA)
- Prepared students to teach in China, such as high schools in Suzhou and Xiamen
- Encouraged students to continue learning the Chinese language and culture by teaching and working in China.

Apple agreed to acquire Beats for several reasons: for the streaming music service, for the headphones, for the speakers, and to bring Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine into the Cupertino fold. But the New York Post believes that Apple is seeking help from the Beats team for another important area of the Apple business: advertising. It's no secret in the technology and advertising world that Apple could not be anymore displeased with the services as of late from longtime ad partner TBWA, and unnamed ad agency executives are said to believe that the Beats team could improve Apple's ads:
Leak causes flood at Fifth Avenue Apple Store, employees blame recent construction
The New York Post reports that the flagship Fifth Avenue Apple Store in Manhattan was flooded following heavy rain in the city this morning due to a leak in the retail store's roof. The flood apparently began shortly after opening at approximately 8 a.m while around 15 customers were shopping in the store. According to reports from NY Post, employees blamed construction completed on the location last year for the leak: Read more
Apple in talks to Stream EPIX to devices including HDTV
Reuters reported today that Apple has been in talks since earlier this year to stream films owned by premium TV channel EPIX to Apple TV set-top boxes and potentially its much-rumored upcoming HDTV product. Three major studios including Paramount Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and Lionsgate back the channel:
Apple Inc began talks earlier this year to stream films owned by EPIX, which is backed by three major movie studios, on devices including a long-anticipated TV, according to two people with knowledge of the negotiations… Apple is widely expected to unveil a full-fledged TV product later this year or in early 2013 to drive its next phase of growth and potentially revolutionize the industry.
According to the report, Apple's attempts to acquire the content could run into trouble due to EPIX's $200 million agreement with Netflix that gives the service streaming rights through September of this year.
In March, the New York Post reported Apple plans to launch a new TV streaming service in time for Christmas of this year, despite troubles signing up major content partners. The report claimed content providers had "largely balked" at Apple's unwillingness to negotiate on pricing. It also stated Apple wanted content providers to offer their channels through iOS and Apple TV-like apps. Earlier reports from analysts indicated Apple could partner with its existing carrier partners, such as AT&T and Verizon, to take advantage of their programming for upcoming streaming services.

Steve Jobs' biological father, Abdulfattah John Jandali, gets profiled (Pictures)
Abdulfattah John Jandali – Steve Jobs' Biological Father
In the tumult following Steve Jobs' resignation, the New York Post and others (here's a good one translated from Arabic) have been digging up interviews with Steve Jobs' biological father, Abdulfattah John Jandali, who is a Syrian-born Vice President of a casino in Reno, Nevada. He's an 80-year old workaholic who is trying to avoid retirement at all costs (sounds familiar).
The Syrian immigrant says he is overcome with guilt for his treatment of Jobs and only learned recently that the child he gave up for adoption was the famous CEO.
"This might sound strange, though, but I am not prepared, even if either of us was on our deathbeds, to pick up the phone to call him," Jandali said.
"Steve will have to do that, as the Syrian pride in me does not want him ever to think I am after his fortune," he said.
"Now I just live in hope that, before it is too late, he will reach out to me, because even to have just one coffee with him just once would make me a very happy man," he said.
Jandali says although he was in love with his now ex-wife Joanne, her father was a tyrant and would not allow her to marry him since he was from Syria. Joanne then upped and moved to San Francisco to give birth to Jobs without her family or Jandali knowing.
"She did not want to bring shame onto the family and thought this was the best for everyone."
It is a pretty emotional story overall. The short of it is that they've never talked and, although he has sent Jobs a few emails (haven't we all?), he's afraid to call Jobs. Because of this, he fears they never will communicate.
It was our natural inclination to see what this guy looked like but Google images didn't return anything. Therefore, we decided to dig a little deeper.
Without trying to offend anyone, below are some more public pictures of Jobs' biological father we found on the net. There is definitely a resemblance! Read more
NYPost.com blocks iPad Safari, says you need to go buy the NYPost App
The News Corp.-owned New York Post started blocking iPad readers who use Safari today. Instead of showing content on the iPad, it gives a link to the NYPost App with the following statement:
Thanks for coming! NYPOST.com editorial content is now only accessible on the iPad through the New York Post App. If you are a current New York Post App subscriber, please visit the App Store and download the latest version to access NYPOST.com through the INDEX. If you are not a current New York Post App user and would like to subscribe, please download from theApp Store. Thank you.
Subscriptions run $6.99 per month, $39.99 for six months or $79.99 for the year, with no option for single-issue digital purchases. News Corp also launched The Daily magazine earlier this year, the first Tablet-only daily magazine.
If the NYPost wasn't total garbage anyway, I'd be upset. Hopefully the backlash from this move discourages others from copying this game plan.
Interestingly, Skyfire and Opera Mini still work (below).

Muscular Skeletal Complaints..When do you think Cord Compression? This short segement might change that thought process for you.
I recently had a case that looked to me like an mca stroke with unilateral weakness but the neurology consult was able to localize to cervical cord compression by eliciting a careful sensory exam and also bilateral hoffman's sign (easily found on youtube). The compression came from disc herniation, not trauma. I thought it was a great learning point that cord compression can happen anywhere even w/o hx of neck trauma.

Trial adjourned
Posted: January 30, 2013|
THE trial of a Newquay town councillor accused of nine sexual offences against young boys has been adjourned for at least six weeks to allow for witness statements to be collected.
Gary Redman, 55, of Cranstar Apartments, Hilgrove Road, Newquay, faces eight charges of indecently assaulting two boys and one of gross indecency against a boy under 14. He denies all charges.
The charges allege a variety of sexual activities with young boys over a period from 1995 to 2003.
The case was adjourned at Truro Crown Court on Friday to enable defence witnesses to have statements taken from them and to prepare the defence statement.

'Heskeycam' follows former Leicester City striker at new club Newcastle Jets
Posted: October 26, 2012|
Former Leicester City star Emile Heskey received some close attention at his new football club in Australia.
The 34-year-old former England striker was chosen to be under the spotlight as his new team - the Newcastle Jets - took on Sydney Victory last night - Australian broadcaster Fox News set up "Heskeycam" where a camera will followed Emile's every move during the 90-minute A-league fixture.
Heskey was the star of the show as he scored both goals to help his team win 2-1. His team Newcastle Jets are now top of the league.
The last time the broadcaster set up a player cam was for the former Italian star Allessandro Del Piero.
Heskey fever has gripped fans down under with his number nine shirt selling out after he joined the club.
Once the Leicester lad had signed Newcastle Jets sold more 2,000 season tickets than last season.

US SECRETARY OF COMMERCE SPEAKS AT US-SPAIN COUNCIL MEETING-Andrew Stelzer
The United states-Spain council, a group that promotes relations between the two countries, is holding its annual forum in Tampa this weekend. The keynote speaker to kick off the conference was US secretary of Commerce, Carlos Gutierrez. Gutierrez opened his speech by applauding the recent trip his boss, president Bush took to Iraq. He said the trip highlighted the progress made in that country.
ACT ââ¬ÅWeââ¬â¢ve already seen a great deal of progress by every measure..the economy has improved, unemployment is downââ¬Â¦wages are rising..Iraq has a stable exchange rate..more companies registered to do business that beforeââ¬Â¦31,000 companies registered...more companies on the stock exchangeââ¬Â¦internet and cell phone ..ââ¬?
Gutierrez was introduced by Florida senator Mel Martinez, and he gave Martinez credit for pushing forward a proposal for immigration reform. He said a temporary worker program is necessary to feed the United States workforce.
ACT ââ¬ÅIf our unemployment was 10 percent, we would not be talking about immigration reform..we have a shortage of labor and we need to have labor from other countries coming in to keep our country growing..I appreciated business leaders making their voices heard.ââ¬?
Gutierrez said that sending 12 million undocumented workers out of the country is not reasonable, and he disagrees with the characterization of President Bushââ¬â¢s, or Senator Martinez proposals as amounting to amnesty. He stressed that employer must be part of the solution to creating a legal system of immigration and temporary employment.
ACT ââ¬ÅEmployers need to be held accountable for the workers they hire by verifying workers status..hard to assume that they will be enforcement officers and help us enforce the law..ââ¬?
Senator Martinez gave reporters his take on the current possibility of an immigration reform bill getting through congress anytime soon.
ACT-Martinez ââ¬ÅThere haws to be room for compromise, IN THIS SESSION. I donââ¬â¢t know, thatââ¬â¢s a more open question, conferees need to be namedââ¬Â¦political reason..well see in the next few days..ââ¬?
Turning to the crowd gathered, which included government and business leaders from throughout the US and Spain, Secretary of Commerce Gutierrez said that business relations between Spain and the US are growing but they could get much better.
ACT ââ¬ÅLast year the US imported 8.6 billion from Spain, and 30% increase...US imports from Spain are pharm, mineral and machinery...value added products, we exported 7 billion and thatââ¬â¢s a 17 % increase and the people are consuming higher levels of products..however we still have a tremendous amount of growth potential..per capita west central America 700, Chile 730, UK, 1000 Germany, Spain ..360 dollars..ââ¬?
Gutierrez said that More than 600 US companyââ¬â¢s employ about 200,000 workers in Spain, and he gave Spain credit for being the leading producer of bio-ethanol in the entire European Union. He also called on Spain has to join the US in pushing for social justice in Latin America, and asked for assistance in pushing forward the World trade Organizations agenda.
ACT ââ¬ÅThe other are where Spain's leadership can be useful is in the WTO talks..we are at a critical stage and we run the risk of having the talks collapse..Unprecedented prosperity, and we believe we have pt a bold proposal on the table but in order to do that, and be able to see that we will need reciprocal action from the EU, and to the extent that you can be influential this is an historic opportunity..ââ¬?
ACT ââ¬ÅWe know that the best form of aid we can give developing countries is to do business with them we have theta opportunity and we should not let it slip away..ââ¬?
After Gutierrez spoke, he along with Senator Martinez, and the United States ambassador to Spain, Eduardo Aguirre, spoke to reporters. WMNF asked about a recent letter that 4 US senators sent to President Bush explaining that they were upset because a Spanish company is selling weapons to Venezuela, which under a new embargo is illegal for SU companies. At the same tie, that Spanish company is bidding for US military contracts. Senator Martinez responded first, followed by the US ambassador to Spain.
ACT-Martinez ââ¬ÅOne of the important opportunities is for the US and Spain to cooperate in Latin America, setting stage for economic well being. The Venezuelan situation is difficult, and nothing has completely transpired, and every country has their own relationships and we canââ¬â¢t expect complete compliance..my hope is that is something that is not in the best interest..a more armed Chavez is a destabilizing force..ââ¬?
ACT-Aguirre ââ¬ÅOur issue about Venezuela, is about Venezuela, ships and airplanes, and we have not granted conveyance of technology, the airplanes will not be taking US technology, the ships it will take some times, hopefully by that time, there will be a different Venezuela to receive them..ââ¬â¢
Ambassador Aguirre was also asked whether Spanish president Jose Luis Zapatero, will be in the white house anytime soon. Zapatero was elected 2 years ago, and soon after, followed through with a campaign promise to withdraw Spanish troops from Iraq. Questions have remained about the relationship between the two leaders, which Aguirre tried to smooth over.
ACT Aguirre ââ¬ÅI think were measuring progress not by a photo op, but by cooperation..Rice visited, in other words our relationships are moving solidly..the mythical meeting is not part of my agenda..ââ¬?
The US Spain Council annual meeting continues Saturday at the Tampa waterside Marriot.comments powered by Disqus

the fact is the same thing happend to me at the end of 8th grade.
deppression is hard but if you can put your mind above it you'll be fine.
the main thing is to stay active, like go do stuff with friends, or go bike riding, rollerblading, just stay doing somthing.
the thing about deppression is that it makes you NOT wanna do stuff. so if you say, im not going to loose to you mr. deppression, and go do it its gone for that time.
i dont think you dont need to see a counsler unless you try what i said, and it doesnt work. but i'll bet you $100 it will

If you think you are going to go into depression, you need to tell your parents regardless of how they might act. Depression is serious, and you should get help as soon as you can. Now, for telling your parents. First off, this is their job. They want what's best for you. They most likely won't get freaked out, and if they do, it won't drive them crazy. They'll find you a counselor, because your parents are there for you and always will be. Just go ahead and tell them and what happens, happens. Remember, your family is on your side. If you have any more questions, or need support, I'm here for you. You know where to find me. Hope this helps.

My advice is be honest with them (your parents.) Tell them how you are feeling and that you would like to talk to someone about it. Believe it or not many (and i mean many) people talk to counselors/thearpists (i do when im feeling down to!) Talk to your parents calmly and tell them your situation. They should understand. Good-Luck! Hope this helps a lil!

Don't ask to go to a counselor. Tell them you would like to see a doctor because you have been feeling down lately.
Your doctor can then refer you to a counselor if he/she thinks it would be beneficial to you. He will tell your parents and you won't have to.
Know that teens often go through periods of depression. Most of the time it goes away on its own, and its perfectly natural to feel that way. :)

If you dont want your parents finding out or freaking out, you can always go to your school counselor and talk to him/her. Everything you share with your school counselors is private, and they dont have to tell anyone if you dont want to. Just talk your school office and set up an appointment with one of the counselors. Then go and spill your guts out. Hopefully it will help with your depression.
If you need someone to talk to, I'm here too!

Super Chevy Show Norwalk - World's Fastest Street Car Romps On Norwal
Rod Saboury's 6-Second Split Window Street Vette Was Just One Of The Highlights Of The Super Chevy Show In Norwalk, Ohio.

Super Chevy Show Norwalk - World's Fastest Street Car Romps On Norwal
Rod Saboury and engine builder Mike Moran were satisfied with the result, although Rod was off the throttle for more than two seconds, leaving room for improvement. When one chute failed to open, Rod ended up in the sand at the end of the track, though no harm came to him or the car.
Ken "The Kid" Walsh got back on pace with a dominating performance. He flirted with the 3-second zone in the eighth-mile all weekend long.
Dick Messino and the Shake, Rattle, and Run gang out of the Chicago had the '57 purring in the low 7s. Such a great car with tons of history, the front wheels are merely for show down the quarter mile. The goal for driver Mike Lopez is the high-6-second zone.
This original 1969 Yenko Camaro, complete with a 427 and 12-bolt rear, grabbed attention all weekend parked in front of the Tremec tent.
LCW Racing's NHRA Super Stock Modified Camaro was straight up in the air on every pass running in the high 9s and going a few rounds in Bracket 2.
Keith Palcisko dominated Tremec True Street in his '33 Willys with a 9.46, 9.39, and 9.40, for an average of 9.42 seconds at over 140 mph.
One of the great General Motors showdowns: 1987 Buick Grand National vs. the 1990 Corvette ZR-1. The Vette was victorious.
Tony Croeco from Worth Royalton, Ohio, had his 1957 Corvette on display. With red interior, black paint, and dog dish caps, how could one resist?
Procharger guru Steve Morris is still working out the kinks on his giant wagon, which produces over 2,000 horsepower and runs in the high 7s
Lining up next to the Shake, Rattle, and Run triple-nickel, this extremely beautiful '57 held its own, running a 7.21 at 193 mph.
Tim Boggs is a perennial True Street winner in his 1967 Chevy II, taking home the 12-second bracket and $100.
This car requires no comment. Just sit back and admire.
Decisions, decision. Which one tickles your bean?
The ZR-1 was equipped with a 32-valve 350 producing serious horsepower for the time (375, then later 405). Larry Maat was beating on his all weekend.
The big, bad LT1 Impalas were out en masse. One such car was even converted to a 6-speed stick. That must be a blast.
This gentleman was out for blood in True Street, but due to a $2 starter part, failed to make the second and third passes. His first run, however, set the tone with a blistering 8.90.
One of the biggest advantages of the late-model Camaro/Firebird for seasoned bracket racers is taking the stripe with the nose. Hard on the brakes, the front bumper can trip the clocks, leaving an unsuspecting competitor cursing the gods.
Chris Myers won the 10-second bracket of Tremec True Street with a 10.10-second average in his 1970 Chevelle.
Bob Bertelsen and his daughter made it a family weekend bring both their Camaros to the car show. Bob's '67 convertible is full of goodies and we even have a video of the build over at www.superchevy.com. Make sure to check it out.
Brett Delong won the 13-second Tremec True Street prize, including $100 dollars plus an array of contingencies.
These big cars are mind-blowing, especially on the track. Phil Wagner won the 11-second bracket in his '67 Impala.
The Queen of Diamonds lit up the track several times a day, roasting the hides at over 275 mph.
Here, several of the True Street cars lined up to head out the gate for their 30-mile tour. Luckily everyone made it back running and in one piece.

WPP breaks records with billion pound profit
By Daniel Farey-Jones, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 01 March 2012 08:40AM
WPP's annual pre-tax profits have grown 18.5% to a record £1.01bn while revenues climbed 7.4% to a record £10.02bn.
The group behind creative agencies including JWT, Ogilvy and Y&R and media networks MediaCom, Mindshare, MEC and Maxus described its new business performance as "outstanding".
It added an estimated £3.23bn in net new billings to take its billings total for 2011 to £44.79bn.
Advertising and media buying outpaced the group's consumer insight, PR and specialist divisions with like-for-like growth of 7.4%.
Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide, JWT, Y&R, Grey and United generated net new business billings of £909m while the media line-up, including GroupM Search, Xaxis and Tenth Avenue, generated £1.59bn.
The company, which is led by chief executive Sir Martin Sorrell, gave an upbeat assessment of prospects for 2012.
It summed up: "Both consumers and corporates are likely to continue to be cautious and fearful, but should continue to purchase or invest in brands in both fast and slow growth markets."
Emerging markets continued to grow faster than the group overall in 2011, rising 12.5% to £2.95bn.
North America grew just 2.7%, due to a stronger dollar, but remains the biggest market with revenues of £3.39bn.
Despite Europe's economic travails revenues in Western Europe were up 7.7% to £2.51bn.
UK revenues rose 8.8% to £1.18bn and were up 6.7% on a like-for-like basis.
The company took pains to point out that it had added 907 staff in the UK, where its employer social taxes rose 11.6%, both on a like-for-like basis.
Worldwide it boosted headcount by 4.3% over the year to 31 December to 113,615.

Each set Bug Horn Rex plays is a stroll down Bourbon Street–their street beat of a Mardi Gras parade meshes with brass band funk and a smoky Ellington-type ballad. This group's roots started as a Dixieland combo, and throughout the years they honed their sound as a self-described "jambalaya of New Orleans." They performed at the New Orleans Mardi Gras in 2009, and since then have played at more local venues, including Campbell's Boogie on the Bayou, Santana Row, Roux, Naglee Park Garage, and our very own San Jose Jazz Summer Fest.

Edgeley-Kulm 5-foot, 6-inch junior libero Baylee Berg put the Rebels on her back with 35 assists and 29 digs in trading sets at Barnes County North on Tuesday night, but Jayda Haugen's 32 assists, 11 digs, two aces and a block helped the Bison secure the 3-2 (25-20, 18-25, 25-20, 23-25, 15-6) District 5 win.
Turnover can be good for business, but not if your business is football.
Fargo Shanley ended five Hi-Liner drives with takeaways and lost a pair of fumbles at Hanna Field on Tuesday night, but it took a Deacon interception with 1:30 left in the fourth quarter to truly finish the Hi-Liners, 20-14.
"It hurts me too because you played your hearts out," said Hi-Liner coach John Cunningham, who insisted that the superior team did not come out on top. "I want to play these guys again right now — if this doesn't motivate you for Saturday, I don't know what does."
Sometimes volleyball comes down to making fewer mistakes, as was the case Monday night when North Dakota Class B Maple Valley, the pride of Tower City, N.D., home to fewer than 300 people, hosted 6A Park Christian of Moorhead, Minn., a city of just over 39,000.
Maple Valley and Park Christian traded the first two sets, but Raider resilience came through to take the final two back-and-forth sets, 3-1 (25-14, 19-25, 25-19, 25-23).

"When I found the old popcorn maker stashed away in a back closet of our FOB (Forward Operating Base), I couldn't imagine it would ever work. After some parts and TLC, I got it running again. The next step was figuring out how to get the troops working for me some popcorn to eat! I called several companies, tried Amazon, etc. Nobody was able to ship a large bag of popcorn, salt, and oil to an APO address. Then I tried Nationwide Candy, and Jason was immediately able to put together my order and get it shipped out to me. Nationwide Candy and Jason have no idea how happy they have made my 200 troops to have a little taste of home out here in Afghanistan. It's the little things from back home that keep us going, and Nationwide Candy had a big part in that. THANK YOU!"by Mitchell H. on 10/16/2014

Budgets increase slightly across the countyBy Josh OGorman
staff writer | March 01,2013Budgets are rising less than 5 percent on average across Rutland Countys three supervisory unions.
The Rutland South Supervisory Union which contains Mill River Union, Clarendon, Shrewsbury and Wallingford school districts is seeing an average budget increase of 3.9 percent.

Hunters, hikers asked to look for lost plane
Nov 25, 2012 - The Associated Press
Hunters and hikers are being asked to help search for a small plane that went missing a week ago in western Wyoming.
There's been no sign of the Cessna 182 that left Stevensville, Mont., last Saturday, The Jackson Hole News and Guide reported. The plane was due in Pinedale, Wyo., that afternoon but didn't arrive.
Sixty-three-year-old Myles McGinnis and his aircraft have not been found. Searchers on snowmachines and in the air have yet to spot signs of any wreckage.
Authorities believe the plane is in the Upper Hoback area of the Wyoming Range.
Search and rescue teams from both counties have spent the past week searching the area for a La Barge pilot and his single-engine Cessna.
Last radar contact was in the Wyoming Range near the border between Sublette and Lincoln counties.

"We want to see what a typical school day is going to look like and how much of our planning they expect us to do on unpaid time," said Cynthia Fowler, chief negotiator for teachers union Association of Bay County Educators.
The union requested School Board negotiators detail the proposed workday in order for teachers to "understand how much of their planning time is gone," Fowler said.
But School Board negotiators couldn't immediately answer those questions at Monday's contract negotiation meeting.
"It means the day will have a different structure to it," said Pat Martin, chief negotiator for Bay District Schools. He has requested staff to develop a blueprint of the proposed day.
The board is proposing teachers spend 360 minutes of a 450-minute workday teaching students. The current teachers contract requires 300 instructional minutes. The proposal is intended to boost student performance.
"It still won't be beyond teachers' seven-and-a-half hour workday, but if we reach an agreement on this, it gives us more instructional time, so it may have some impact on the length of the kids' school day," Martin said.
Negotiations lasted less than an hour. Fowler said a counterproposal to the workday that includes 60 additional minutes of instruction time will not be ready until the district explains how teachers' days will be broken down.
Both parties agreed to reconvene after the start of school.
Also at the meeting, the union and the district tentatively agreed on a teachers' pay formula. Basically, teachers rated "highly effective" will earn higher pay raises than those rated "effective" or "needs improvement."
The parties have not agreed on the pool of money that will be used for salary increases. To the district's $1.5 million proposal, the union is asking for $4.5 million.

In your editorial on July 7 ('A stronger Aadhaar', IE) you have stated that "The BJP is complicit in Aadhaar's uncertain legal status — the UPA was forced to rely on executive orders because the UIDAI bill was held up by the Yashwant Sinha-headed standing committee on finance." The impression your editorial seeks to convey is entirely erroneous. It is wrong on your part to equate the views of the committee with the views of the party to which the chairman of the committee belonged.
A standing committee of Parliament is a multiparty committee consisting of 20 members of Lok Sabha and 10 members of Rajya Sabha, apart from the chairman, in which the majority in Parliament is fully reflected. So, in the standing committee on finance, it was the UPA that was in a majority, and not the BJP. The committee on finance is serviced by the Lok Sabha secretariat, which prepares draft reports that are then put up to the chairman and, after his approval, before the committee for discussion and adoption. The same procedure was followed while adopting this report also. Four notes of dissent were submitted, which were duly incorporated in the final report before it was presented to Parliament.
The final paragraph of the report states: "In view of the aforementioned concerns and apprehensions about the UID scheme, particularly considering the contradictions and ambiguities within the government on its implementation as well as implications, the committee categorically convey their unacceptability of the National Identification Authority of India Bill, 2010, in its present form. The committee would thus urge the government to reconsider and review the UID scheme, as also the proposals contained in the bill in all its ramifications and bring forth a fresh legislation before Parliament". The report was presented to Parliament on December 11, 2011. The government never came back to Parliament with a new bill.
The reports of parliamentary standing committees are recommendatory in nature. The government of the day may accept them in toto or partially, or even reject them in toto for good reason. What it should not do is sit on the recommendations forever. Then, the fault lies with the government and not with the committee or the committee system.
The concept of a unique identification scheme was first discussed in 2006 and administrative approval for the scheme "Unique ID for BPL Families" was given on March 3, 2006, by the department of IT. On December 4, 2006, an EGoM was set up to coordinate work between the registrar general, engaged in the preparation of the National Population …continued »

Miss Wis Gorman Not Surprised By Musberger Focus On Pageant Winner
A beauty pageant winner recently got plenty of public attention just by sitting in the stands at a football game.
The reigning Miss Alabama from the Miss USA Pageant was singled out for compliments by sportscaster Brent Musberger while watching her boyfriend play in the N-C-A-A championship game. Are pageant contestants annoyed by that kind of behavior? Recent Miss America contestant Kate Gorman says, it comes with the territory. Gorman, from Onalaska, represented Wisconsin at the Miss America finals in Las Vegas last week. She jokes that she hasn't been asked out for dates with college quarterbacks.

You do realize this is ADV not better homes & gardens right?
When I was a about 5 I watched a guy build a harley trike in his front room. Getting it out was another story. You cant really call yourself a wrench if you've never washed parts in the tub either.
Anyway its coming along , I've thought of a couple points on the motor I forgot to mention. The 1995 & up bottom end has 8 ball main bearings , the same used in the CR500. I replaced the mains with factory honda parts . The 1993 has the same main on one side but the other side got a smaller less beefy piece. Seems like a good deal for longevity.
The case also has a pocket in it that can hold a little more oil if you ditch the gasket & drill 2 holes. The bike only holds 650ml so I think its worthwhile to get some more fluid in there. I did have to run my crank side clearance on the minimum to make up for the .010 gasket thickness. The trans still was good on clearance.
You can see the largish pocket here
On this side you can see where the oil will come out of the trans into the clutch , then theres a built in scraper that will put the oil back in the transmission. I'm hoping this will generate circulation through the pocket. I also went kinda small on the holes so the trans couldnt be over scavenged
I also heard that the latter RMX powervalves could fall into the motor if a spring broke, this motor is not like that. There are 2 springs that should be replaced, but if the do go bad all that will happen is the second stage of the powervalve will flutter.
I also read that the powervalve rod clips break when you take them appart but mine were good so I just used them over
I also changed the carb from a keihin pk that "barely" idles off the choke, to a mikuni 36mm tmx which fits the 92 rm boot perfect. I figure if a cr500 can make 65 hp off of 38mm a 250 should be fine with 36mm & have better throttle response. Alot of people think tmx mikuni's suck, the problem in my opinion is the jetting table out of the oem manuals. This carb calls for a 35 pilot from honda, but from experience the thing takes 4 sizes leaner down to a 25 , some even say a 20 is the ticket. I like em I had a bored out 38mm tmx on my kx550af & they work. Scared me leaning it down that far but...
I need to mention how tight the head is to the top of the powervalves, I had to clearance a bit & I will have to build a new mount but it's worth the squish, trust me.
You can also see the $8 a foot 500 degree silicone hose, it should be leak proof I hope. Which reminds me ... I need to flush the radiators.

But as it is so obvious that the refubisjed parts are really sanitary the mess in the background doesn't fit. There are certainly important things and less important in live, ... which comes first depending the kitchen I will not discuss here.

Thanks for your concern for my well being, & the positive input
" the refubisjed parts are really sanitary "
I'd like to say thanks for some of the idea's I've gleaned from this & other sites. I was putting on my sprocket today & greased the splines, a trick I learned from the guys on the xr650l thread. It is really nice to be able to share idea's & technique's , as everybody has their own way of doing things.
I believe it's a Ben Franklin saying I'm gonna slaughter here but it goes something like "No matter a mans social standing, walk of life, or intelligence there's always something to be learned from him." I know some of the best lessons I've learned have been from people of diminished capacities.
I hope in taking the time to post this up I can return some of the positive energy I've received from others who've done the same & helped me by sharing what they've learned .
This pic kinda illustrates an idea I stole / improved on from E-Gorr. The crankcase vent on these motors comes out from the powervalve area & is the vent for the entire motor. He recommends just plugging it off. I know on a v-8 if you plug it all off it will blow seals & gaskets so I assume the same would hold true for a dirt bike engine. If I hadnt read his page on how that vent will suck a bit of dirt into the motor I would have just run it straight down like the factory did & suck up trail dust, with the cheap 3/8 fuel filter it can breathe fresh clean air
I used some aluminum duct tape under the tank as a heat shield where the exhaust runs by. I hope it sticks as nice when the fuel is in there. I might oughta put a bunch of pin holes in it so it can breathe, like they do on tank stickers.

I can appreciate working in the kitchen,I dis-mantled and rebuilt a rubber cow(1976 R75/6 BMW) in the backroom,engine torn to bits,changed frame and forks out due to bent issues. Spent a minimum of 3 hours a day for months on it.
Then rode it and realized what I had done,cripeola what a tank,ill handling sloth of a pig.
Traded it for an 05 650 Strom,but lessons were learned and I moved on with my life.
Still got those spare RMX wheels sitting here.
A Keihin carb fits into the RMX intake rubbers with no changes Ive been told,supposed to work well.
(refubisjed is in the "new" dictionary.

They usually vent a little smoke out the vent hose so check the filter after running it to see if it clogs up.

Yeah it does smoke up the filter a bit. Doesnt seem to be plugging , though it will need regular changing
I got it running 2 weeks ago , not finished but running, & have burnt a tank & half through it . What a little tractor, my 230lb son who was home on leave lugged the thing around for near 4 hrs & it took him up whatever he wanted. He didnt even find the powervalves second stage where the bike just comes alive. Boy it hits , like + 25hp now. Fun trail toy . Its pulling 14-43 gearing just fine, that deep first still gives you room play in the technical stuff too. I just got back from vacation so it should be next weekend before I get anything else done with it, like the head stay , rear fender & side panels. I'll post some pics when I do

Feng Shui For The Soul
We spend most of our lives living for others. We buy bigger homes to impress others, wear clothes to blend in and lose who we are by becoming the mirror image of others. Is that how we were meant to live? Was that the path destined for us? I am not so sure about the answer.
Many clients employ my services to implement Feng Shui in their homes and offices. Changes are made, walls are repainted, interior decorators are hired to implement suggested changes, and new furniture is chosen. Everything that is external is fixed.
However the thinking and outlook to life remains the same. Emotions like jealousy, guilt, and anger continue to dominate your mind. Feng Shui helps in balancing your immediate surroundings; but who is in charge of balancing your inner world? What is the use of balancing your environment, when you don't want to change from within? If positive internal changes are not embraced, no amount of Feng Shui can help you feel balanced. The success of Feng Shui depends on how ready you are to embrace the positive changes. And you can only be ready if your mind is at peace.
Facing and conquering your inner demons makes Feng Shui a lot more effective. It helps in opening up intuition and you are able to feel the change in energy around you. Along with clearing clutter from your home, you also need to clear the clutter internally. That is the only way to experience the full benefits of Feng Shui. So how can one balance the inner world? One way of moving forward is by performing emotional cleansing along with Feng Shui implementation. Emotional cleansing helps in letting go of old relationships, neutralising anger and working on guilt. Once you are free from all the excess baggage you have been carrying for years, you will be ready to embrace your new life. There will be new relationships, new friends and new opportunities. Feng Shui will bring about balance in your environment and emotional cleansing will balance your inner self.
So along with redecorating that living room, why not enroll in a yoga class? Join a meditation class, take up journal writing, get a new hobby or simply go for long walks to unwind.
Change your life by choosing Feng Shui for your soul.

It's the case that keeps on giving, right into the holiday season. Judge Richard Posner of the Seventh Circuit in Chicago (and the Becker/Posner Blog), didn't like the lawsuit brought by Chicago attorney Clinton Krislov on behalf of everybody who'd purchased Sears clothes dryers advertised as having a "stainless steel drum." Turns out there was some ceramic-coated steel in there somewhere and Krislov thought that was grist for a dandy class action seeking the difference between what consumers paid for the dryers and what they would have paid had they known about the adulterated drums. The theory is the regular steel could chip, rust, and stain clothes or something like that. It doesn't matter. These suits are for settling, not for determining whether the underlying claims have any merit.
Posner chucked out the suit in a 2008 decision that should be required reading for all law students, explaining how attorneys in such cases and their targets have an incentive to settle for peanuts since the lawyers will get a fee and the defendant will avoid millions of dollars in discovery costs. Undeterred, Krislov took the show on the road and filed a copycat class action in California. Posner brought the big guns to bear, citing the seldom-used All Writs Act to decertify the California class action and accusing Krislov of something close to extortion against Sears. The Act basically allows federal judges to do what they have to do to enforce their decisions.
Krislov fired back, seeking an en banc hearing by the entire Seventh Circuit, saying Posner's "opinion reads more like a posting in its author's well-known blog," than an unbiased statement of the law.
Posner's response, rejecting Krislov's appeal, is a masterful summation of the conflicts embedded in all class actions:
The structure of class actions under Rule 23 of the federal rules gives class action lawyers an incentive to negotiate settlements that enrich themselves but give scant reward to class members, while at the same time the burden of responding to class plaintiffs' discovery demands gives defendants an incentive to agree to early settlement that may treat the class action lawyers better than the class. Class action attorneys have an "inherent motivation" to enrich themselves at the expense of the class (and with the connivance of defendants), but motivation is not a synonym for action; any actual corruption or selling out is gauged case by case.
