A tilting train is a train with a tilting mechanism that enables increased speed on regular railway tracks. As any vehicle rounds a curve at speed, objects inside the train are in a non inertial frame and experience centrifugal force since the vehicle is rotating around the turn. This can cause packages to slide about, or a seated passenger to feel squashed by the outboard armrest due to its centripetal force, and standing passengers to lose their balance. Tilting trains are designed to counteract this discomfort. Two types of this category of trains is the Italian Pendolino and the Spanish Talgo.
In tilting trains the passenger compartment can be tilted sideways. In a curve to the left, it tilts to the left to compensate for the g-force push to the right, and vice versa.
The train may be constructed such that inertial forces themselves cause the tilting, called passive tilt, or it may have a computer-controlled power mechanism, known as active tilt.
Aeroplanes and bicycles simply tilt in place but automobiles and trains cannot do this on their own. To make their turns easier, the roadway of a high-speed highway or railway is canted inward around the curve. To a passenger in such a vehicle, the tilt makes the overall acceleration vector act downwards, rather than pushing them to the side, minimising discomfort. Vehicles with high centers of gravity rounding sharp curves at high speeds may topple over, and banking helps counteract this risk.
Other countries, with less land, weaker governmental planning powers, and more hilly terrain, were unable to follow. Specifically, Spain's national railway RENFE took a domestic invention, the Talgo, and developed it into a reliable high speed train for a low traffic density railway; British Railways (the UK state railway) invested heavily in tilting train technology to overcome the limitations of a rail network in built-up areas designed for low speeds; and Italy's Trenitalia has invested heavily in tilting technology to speed trains through Italy's mountainous terrain.
Even though tilting trains are meant to help reduce the effects of centrifugal force on the human body, tilting trains can still cause nausea as they do not reduce the Coriolis effect on balancing systems. The effect could be felt under maximum speed and tilt, when the combination of tilting outside view and lack of corresponding sideways force can be disconcerting to passengers, like that of a "thrill ride". Researchers have found that if the tilting motion is reduced to compensate for 80% or less of lateral force passengers feel more secure.
The first successful European tilting train designs were the Talgo in Spain, developed in the 1950s as a lightweight, fast train using passive tilt. The Spanish National Railway, RENFE, adopted the system widely, but was restricted to the Iberian peninsula initially.
The first test of a Talgo in the United States was the John Quincy Adams trainset with Fairbanks-Morse P-12-42 tested by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad in 1957-1958. Due to technical troubles and the precarious financial state of the New Haven Railroad, the trainset was set aside. The first full commercial application of passive tilting trains in North America appeared in early 1970s, with the United Aircraft TurboTrain, an adaptation of the second generation of the TALGO. The TALGO is still in production in its 21st generation. TALGO trains are in service in various parts of Europe, and built under licence in Latin America and Asia. In North America, Amtrak uses Talgo trainsets in its Cascades service in the US Northwest, having earlier experimented with them in the Northeast Corridor.
The first tilting train to enter into regular service in North America was the United Aircraft TurboTrain, used by Canadian National Railways, in 1969. Plagued with frequent breakdowns of its turbine power plants, it nevertheless assured daily service between Montreal and Toronto until it was retired in 1984, having been replaced by Bombardier LRC trains. United Aircraft Turbos were also used by Amtrak between Boston and New York in the early 1970s. The UAC Turbo had a passive tilt mechanism and they inspired the second generation of TALGO trains. Its ride quality was mediocre. Due to the inadequate suspension on the single axle trucks (bogies) between the cars, the tilt system required a direct connection between bogies and coaches. None are currently in use.
In the 1970s and 1980s, following the success of its InterCity 125, British Rail built a tilting train called the Advanced Passenger Train. The APT-E (E for experimental) was powered by gas turbines and the APT-P (P for prototype) was electric. The train was advanced in both name and nature. Not only did it tilt, it had hydro-dynamic brakes, it was articulated and it had two power cars in the centre of the train. The latter was necessary because two power cars were deemed necessary for the proposed schedule but the use of a "roof-line" to send the 25kV supply along the train (and thus allow the power cars to be placed at the ends of the consist) was not acceptable at that time. Due to all this complexity the train was never reliable enough to go into service and so the project was scrapped, although some aspects of the technology were purchased by the Pendolino group to enlarge their portfolio. During tests some passengers reported that the tilting motion made them nauseous. Subsequently it was learned that this could be prevented by reducing the tilt slightly, so that there was still some sensation of cornering.
Much of the technology developed for the power cars was subsequently used in the InterCity225 (Class 91) trains which run on the East Coast route from London to Leeds and Edinburgh.
The Economist weekly wrote in its 21 February 1998 issue,"Tilt technology, to be sure, got off to a disastrous start in 1981. That was when British Rail (BR), Britain's old nationalised railway, had to withdraw its so-called Advanced Passenger Train after only three days of scheduled services. Passengers had complained of feeling sick, and there were many technical hitches with brakes and the state-of-the-art suspension. Since that unhappy debut, however, the technology has developed to a point where tilt trains are now being operated throughout Europe."
Another tilting train to enter into regular service was the Pendolino. The original ETR 401 train was built by FIAT in 1975 for the Italian State Railways following a prototype in 1970 and ran successfully for many years. The Pendolino project ticked over on a low budget developing a hypothetical successor until the early 80s when the go ahead was given to build a new fleet, which was the ETR 450. Later developments of this train (ETR 460 and ETR 480) have been very successful and are used throughout Europe. The latest development in this line is the ETR 610, which will enter service in Switzerland and Italy (and possibly Germany) in 2007/8 on the Cisalpino routes.
Canada's contribution is the LRC (Light, Rapid, Comfortable) train, built by Bombardier. This train is rather conventional, having separable carriages instead of articulated trailers, and can be intermingled with conventional non-tilt cars. In the United States, Amtrak experimented with the LRC in 1980, but retired it a few years later. In Canada, it entered service in 1981, and the carriages remain in use today. The LRC tilt-mechanism is power-assisted, driven by accelerometers. The ride quality is very smooth, even on relatively low-end tracks. Bombardier have since used updated versions of the LRC carriages for Amtrak's Acela Express, the third generation of tilting ICE, the new generation of fast British trains (Virgin Super Voyager) and the experimental JetTrain.
Another early train with tilting technology was Deutsche Bahn's class 403 (old - today this number is used by ICE 3) high speed EMU, which entered into service in 1973. Following it's InterCity services until 1979, it was also used for airport transfers between Düsseldorf and Frankfurt (see also: AiRail Service). Class 403 was able to tilt 4°, but the fixed pantographs limited this to 2°. Shortly after the train went into service, the tilting technology was disabled as many passengers again experienced motion sickness because the pivotal point was too low.
The next attempt was made with DMUs and the well proven Italian hydraulic active tilting system. Between 1988 and 1990 DB commissioned 20 class 610 units for fast regional traffic. This time the results were quite satisfying and allowed a significant reduction of running times. Class 610 was followed by class 611, which basically was built for the same purpose (fast regional traffic with up to 160 km/h on twisting not electrified line). Class 611's tilting system was electric, with a maximum 8° tilt, based on military technics from the Leopard tank. However, after coming into service 1996 this 50 unit class experienced problems both with the newly developed tilting system as well as chassis and axles, so it was judged not successful. The tilting system was out of service until 2006, when hardened axles and system updates finally solved the problems. In consideration of these problems DB ordered a full re-engineering, resulting in the development of class 612. Starting in 1998, a total of 192 units were commissioned by DB. The tilting systems was reliable, but after in 2004 cracks were detected in a number of wheel sets, again wheels and axles had to be replaced. Today class 612 is back to tilting operation and forms the backbone of DB's fast regional service on un-electrified lines. Additional units were sold to Croatia, where they are used for InterCity services.
Finally in 1999 DB was able to use tilting technology for its InterCityExpress services, as with class 411 and 415 an electric high speed tilting train was commissioned. Whereas classes 401 to 403 (without tilting technology) were to cover the newly built or reconstructed high speed lines with uo to 300 km/h (class 403), classes 411 and 415 with maximum speed of 230 km/h were designed for older, twisting main lines. A total of 60 class 411 and 11 class 415 (shorter version) have been build so far. Both classes work reliable. Much of the technical layout is derived from the ICE 3. Austria's ÖBB has purchased three units in 2007, operating them jointly with DB for services from Germany to Austria. It might be noteworthy that event though DB assigned the name ICE-T to class 411/415, the T originally did not stand for tilting, but for Triebwagen (railcar), as DB's marketing department at first deemed the top speed too low for assignment of the InterCityExpress brand and therefore planned to refer to this class as IC-T (InterCity-Triebwagen).
Rather luckless was class 411/415's adoption for diesel services. In 2001 a total of 20 units were commissioned for use on the Dresden-Munich line, but these class 605 (ICE-TD) units experienced trouble from the start. After the breaking of an axle in 2002, all remaining 19 units (one fell of a working platform) were grounded. Even though one year later the trains were admitted to service again, DB judged their operation the be overly expensive. Today they are used for amplifier trains. Starting end of 2007, it is planned to deploy class 605 on the Hamburg-Copenhagen route.
Switzerland got its first tilting train ever in its territory (discounting the Cisalpino, which entered Switzerland in 1996) on May 28, 2000. The ICN (InterCity Neigezug, or InterCity Tilting Train) was made by Bombardier and entered service, running first from Geneva via Biel/Bienne and Zürich to St. Gallen. It was a major carrier in the national exhibition Expo.02.
In Japan, the beginning of the usual operation of the tilting train is the operation of limited express しなの (former name of Nagano) by 国鉄381系電車 electric multiple unit in Chūō-saisen (central west line) of Japanese National Railways in 1972 . 381 was mass-produced based on data of 国鉄591系電車 electric multiple unit that had been made for trial purposes in 1969. Though Japanese National Railways became the Japan Railways Group by being divided in 1987, the concept model of JR四国2000系気動車 diesel multiple unit of JR Shikoku was produced in 1989, and in 1990 it was introduced (with 2000 Series mass production cars) into limited express しおかぜ (sea breeze) and 南風 (south wind). The development of new cars (both electric and diesel) are continued, and introduction to new line districts are continued one by one. Moreover, the N700 Series electric multiple unit that becomes the first tilting train of Shinkansen is scheduled to mass-produce in 2007.
Modern tilting trains have the blessing of the latest signal processing technology which reads the line ahead and is able to anticipate a very precise control signal to the individual carriages and complaints about nausea have become a thing of the past.
Some tilting trains run on narrow gauge railways. In Japan there are many narrow gauge lines in mountainous regions, and tilting trains have been designed to run on these. In Australia the service between Brisbane and Cairns by the QR Tilt Train now claims to be the fastest narrow-gauge train in the world, running at 160km/h.

EUROPEANS could soon be drinking milk from cows injected with bovine somatotropin, one of the most controversial drugs yet produced by biotechnology. At present, BST is banned in Europe. But this could change before the end of the year when agriculture ministers from the European Union review the ban.
BST is a synthetic hormone that can raise milk yields by between 10 and 15 per cent. Regulatory authorities in the US and Europe have cleared BST for sale, and it was launched in the US last February. But in Europe last year, agriculture ministers questioned the need for it and slapped a moratorium on its use. The continent is already awash with milk, they reasoned, so why produce more?
Now, nations such as Britain want the ban lifted because they dislike government interference in "market forces", and are concerned about reprisals from the US if Europe excludes dairy produce from ...

When Mountain High put together its new pro team, it was all about having a crew that would be invested in spending time at the mountain and engaging the local riders. As part of this effort, Mountain High has introduced three signature events hosted by their new team riders. The first of the three dubbed "Ditch Day" was hosted by Kyle Lopiccolo and Harrison Gordon and took place Saturday, December 17th. "What a great weekend of riding, hanging out, and having a good time at Mountain High," says Mountain High marketing consultant, Brad Farmer. "Kyle and Harrison did a great job hosting their first event and all of their sponsors and teammates came out in full force."
With $750 in cash plus thousands in prizes on the line, some of SoCal's best rail riders turned out to through down. Harrison Gordon's Salomon/Bonfire teammates along with Kyle Lopiccolo's Bataleon team helped support and judge the event. With DJ Jokzilla of Fat Beats LA spinning and pro rider, Scotty Arnold and Salomon team manager, Java Fernandez on the MC duties, the stage was set for an epic day of shredding in SoCal.
The smooth setup included a forty foot flat-up-flat box, a 20 foot street-style down rail, and 40 forty foot down-flat-down rail which all lead into the "Hell Gap," a banked box linking two 12 foot quarterpipes and the "Spool of Death." Garret Warnick's gap 270 on the Down-Flat-Down and his toe-side spins over the "Spool of Death" were crowd favorites as well as Jeremy Estorga's all-around smooth riding and Erik Leon's nose press through the down-flat-down and combo's into the "Hell Gap."
Special thanks goes out to Monster Energy Drink, Salomon, Bonfire, Ashbury, Neff, Bataleon and Von Zipper for helping support the event in a big way.

Horfield Sainsbury's 'would endanger cyclists'
Posted: January 11, 2013|
Cyclists will be put in danger if plans to build a new Sainsbury's supermarket in Horfield go ahead, local residents have said.
Traders & Residents Against Sainsbury's Horfield (TRASH) are concerned changes to the road layout to enable access to the new supermarket will jeopardise the safety of cyclists.
The group maintains: "HGVs turning left into Filton Avenue from Muller Road will sweep across the designated waiting area for cyclists at the traffic lights.
"In order to enable HGVs to enter the Sainsbury's supermarket, and to cope with the additional traffic, several changes to road and junction layouts in the area are proposed.

"Pavements will be narrowed, making the area less safe for pedestrians
"Filton Avenue will become three lanes at the junctions with Muller Road and Gloucester Road making it more difficult for buses to negotiate and cars to park.
"A mini-roundabout is proposed in the middle of Filton Avenue."
A Sainsbury's spokesperson contested a number of the group's claims. It told This is Bristol: "The concern raised by TRASH about an increased risk to cyclists on the Filton Avenue, Muller Road junction is based on a highways scheme in the committee report we are no longer proposing, so this is not an issue.
"We will be narrowing one pavement, but this has been considered by officers and they find it acceptable. We certainly aren't changing the number of lanes at any existing traffic light junctions."
TRASH is opposed to the Sainsbury's development "on the grounds it will increase congestion, increase pollution and damage the local Gloucester road shops".
Group member Daniella Radice, who ran as the Green candidate in Bristol's mayoral election, said: "Bristol is supposed to be a cycling city.
"This area is already heavily congested and it just takes one incident to cause traffic chaos on Gloucester and Muller Roads.
"I do not see how articulated lorries will safely negotiate a mini-roundabout in the middle of Filton Avenue. From a traffic and safety perspective this proposal does not work".
Martin McDonnell, Secretary of Bristol Cycling Campaign, said: "Bristol Cycling Campaign is in principal against large chains and large stores because the kind of culture we are trying to move towards is one where people use small and local shops that are convenient and can be accessed by means of active travel – i.e. walking and cycling.
"It's easier to get from shop to shop on a bike and you can go down the high street, from shop to shop, like in the old days.
"This also keeps the economy within the local community as well as reducing greenhouse emissions and combatting obesity and inactivity issues.
"Large chains are not very good at providing cycle parking and they tend to be in out-of-town areas. They can turn what was a fairly safe place for cyclists into a dangerous place, with the increased volume of traffic and the danger from large delivery lorries in urban areas.
"We have scant information on the overall proposals and hope that more information will be made available and the Bristol City Council under the new Mayor will stick to their commitments to make the roads safer for cycling and stop this proposal from going ahead."
Bristol City councillors will meet next Wednesday to decide whether to give permission for the new Sainsbury's supermarket. The council was unable to comment ahead of the meeting.

Our galaxy really has some flare. A rare glimpse of stars on the opposite side of the Milky Way supports the idea that our galaxy fans out at its edges.
The sun sits in one arm of the Milky Way's relatively flat spiral, orbiting the galactic centre. The stars around us are well mapped, but stars on the other side of the galaxy are largely obscured by dense material at the bulging galactic centre.
"What has been inferred about our galaxy out at these distances has been from radio observations of mostly hydrogen gas," says Michael Feast at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. Feast and his colleagues have now managed to spot five stars on the far edge.
The team was able to pin down the stars' locations because they are of a particular type known as "Cepheid variables". These stars grow and shrink on a regular cycle, and the length of this cycle is related to their true brightness. By measuring the cycle and seeing how bright a Cepheid star appears to be, we can accurately calculate its distance from Earth.
Dark matter sculptor
Using telescopes at the South African Astronomical Observatory in Sutherland, the team identified four Cepheid stars that are about 50,000 light years from the galactic centre. They also found another star further out, at around 70,000 light years.
All five stars are on the far cusp of the galaxy, either far above or below the galactic plane. That tallies with the maps of galactic gas, which suggest the Milky Way is thicker at its edges. Astronomers think this is due to a dark matter halo that surrounds the galaxy.
There are many more stars at the centre of the Milky Way than at its edges, so at greater distances the gravitational tug of dark matter starts to overcome the force between ordinary matter, pulling it away from the plane to create a flared edge. Exactly how large the flare is depends on the distribution of dark matter in the halo.
"This finding gives us important new data we can input into the models to determine the shape of the Milky Way halo," says Victor Debattista at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston, UK. These models can be used to understand how other galaxies form as well, he says. "It opens up lots of interesting new science possibilities in terms of galaxy formation."

Larry King Brings Brooklyn Bagels to Los Angeles
It's all in the water.user rating
Larry King has brought a prized piece of Brooklyn to Beverly Hills with the opening of his newest venture: The Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Co. In partnership with The Boca Raton, a Florida-based quick-serve that has proprietary equipment that re-creates Brooklyn water for its bagel recipe, King has brought a favorite part of his New York upbringing to Los Angeles. "I am excited about bringing a taste of my native hometown to Beverly Hills, a city that has become my home," King said in a statement announcing his new venture.
The key to making authentic bagels is all in the water, so the claim goes. So it makes sense that the 3,700-square-foot restaurant's focal point is a glass-encased, stainless steel Brooklyn water–processing plant, which will manufacture, bottle and cap Brooklynized-branded water under 24-hour spotlights. Aside from its signature bagel and specialty menu, The Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Co. will also offer California-style omelet menu items, such as Matzo Brei with Apple Chutney; Asparagus-Egg White Omelet with Parmesan, Scallion & Pumpkin Seeds; and Avocado with Tomato Salsa, Shredded Cheddar with Sour Cream-Avocado Oil. The shop is also tacking on the menu pizza melts, scooper melts—hollowed-out bagels filled with meat, cheese and veggies—and fresh-cut fries.—Denise Shoukas
Specialty Bagel Toppings and Spreads
To commemorate the expansion of quality Brooklyn-style bagels, check out some of our favorite bagel toppings and accoutrements.
Alaska Smokehouse's Gourmet Salmon Spread
This Gourmet Salmon Spread ($5.95/3.5 ounce; alaskasmokehouse.com) is made of all-natural salmon from the ocean waters of Alaska. Keep it on hand worry-free, as it's shelf-stable until opened (and will last a few days after). Also try Alaska Smokehouse's flavored salmon spreads, like Chipotle, Pepper Garlic and Dill or the Lobster Spread, Trout Spread or Crab & Trout Spread.
Belle Chevre's Belle & The Bees Breakfast Cheese
A 2010 sofi Silver Finalist for Outstanding Cheese or Dairy Product, Belle & The Bees Breakfast Cheese ($11.05/8 ounce.; bellechevre.com) blends Tupelo Honey with chevre for a delicious, versatile and healthful alternative to cream cheese. Not only great on bagels, you can make inspired dinner entrees using it as a pairing for roasted lamb.
Southcoast Farms Organic Artisan Cream Cheese
Your favorite bagel deserves a quality spread, so bring home specialty artisan cream cheese. Southcoast Farms Organic Artisan Cream Cheese ($25.95/2-pound tub; sidwainer.com) has an incredibly fresh, sweet cream flavor with a taste reminiscent of crème fraiche. The curd is delicately drained in Muslim cloth, creating a fluffy, spreadable texture.
Wildly Delicious Petite Maison Fig & Pear with Orange Fruit Compote
This award-winning condiment adds a sweet foil to tart cream cheese on your bagel. Fig & Pear with Orange Compote ($7.50/8.4 ounce; wildlydelicious.com) is made with Mission figs and Bartlett pears cooked slowly with sweet oranges into a thick-bodied compote. Other compote flavors include Blackcurrant & Shallot, Tart Cherry & Almond and Pear & Ginger with Roasted Hazelnuts.

Gulf sea creatures and birds struggle to survive spreading oil
Ocean creatures may be smarter than we think they are, or they're following their instincts by migrating from the fetid waters of the Gulf of Mexico to cleaner shallows along the coast of Florida.
"A parallel would be wildlife running to the edge of a forest on fire," said Larry Crowder, a Duke University marine biologist.
Unfortunately, their efforts to save themselves may also be a different cause of their demise.
By moving from their natural habitats to safer ones, they not only make themselves more easily accessible to predators, but they consume vast amounts of oxygen depleting the natural supply, both of which spells their doom.
Associated Press writers Jay Reeves, John Flesher and Tamara Rush explain what is happening in this article published June 17.
Numerous bird rescue groups and volunteers quickly mobilized after the late April explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil well which continues to spew an estimated 60,000 gallons of oil into the Gulf each day, according to the latest esitmates. There's no end in sight.

National Geographic surveyed wildlife biologists to find out how well rehabilitation of oil-injured birds has worked in the past.
Nils Warnock, a wildlife specialist with the University of California – Davis Oiled Wildlife Care Network said each oil spill is different and that survival rates are affected by the climate, species and other factors. The oil is toxic to the birds internally and externally.
J.V. Remsen, ornithologist and professor at the Louisiana State Department of Biological Sciences in Baton Rouge, says claims that 40 to 60 percent of birds can be successfully rehabbed are overly optimistic. "If the rehabbers can convince me that 25-50 percent are going to be successfully cleaned and released back into the environment and not die subsequently and painfully from the oil they have ingested, then OK, let's give it a try," Remsen told National Geographic.
German biologist Silvia Gaus told Speigel Online that the humane thing to do is kill, not clean the birds caught in the oil spill. She said a study of the birds cleaned after being caught in the 2002 North Sea oil spill found that more than 99 percent died as a result of kidney and liver damage from ingesting oil.

Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David and Jason Alexander film at Tom's RestaurantAdd to Favorites | Seinfeld
Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David can't seem to stay out of the news. After Seinfeld shared news of their secret project, which is reportedly a Broadway play, the world is excited for the show about nothing again.
Things were taken another step further though, when the comedian and his "Seinfeld" co-star Jason Alexander were seen entering Tom's Restaurant, a major location on the series. Twitter user Ali Philippides got a photo of the two actors at the eatery and Gothamist reports that filming was taking place inside.
There's also video of David leaving the restaurant later, making the reunion even more curious. There's no telling what the trio were working on inside Tom's, which was referred to as Monk's Diner on the series.
Theories range from the idea that they're filming an episode of "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" to maybe shooting a Super Bowl commercial. However, what's clear is more than 15 years after it ended, fans are still excited for anything "Seinfeld"-related.

The ACLU is actually not against the use of surveillance cameras in places where they're appropriate for enforcing the law or keeping people safe, but what we want people to understand is that they're not a magic solution... There are concerns about how the information that's gathered by these cameras is going to be used, and then there's the larger question of do we want to live in a society where everybody is under surveillance all the time.

MIAMI (AP) — Rashard Lewis got a win on Friday, six hours before the Miami Heat even started playing.
And it came on grass, not hardwood.
MIAMI (AP) — Rashard Lewis got a win on Friday, six hours before the Miami Heat even started playing.
And it came on grass, not hardwood.
White Rose, a 3-year-old filly owned by Lewis and his longtime friend Jake Ballis, won a maiden race on the turf at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., on Friday afternoon.
Sent off as a heavy favorite, White Rose returned $3.40 for the win, and Lewis — who has dabbled in horse ownership for about five years — got to be in the winners' circle for the post-race celebration.
"Especially during the year, it's very tough to attend races," Lewis said before the Heat played host to the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night.
"It was a great day. It's very tough to win in horse racing. White Rose being in first place, me being able to attend and me being able to be in the winner's circle, it's a very good day."
The Heat forward said he was approached by Ballis several years ago about owning a small percentage of some horses, and before long, Lewis was hooked on the sport. He said on one trip to historic Saratoga Race Course in upstate New York, he did a double-take when seeing another man of basketball pedigree at the track — that being Louisville coach Rick Pitino, a longtime racing enthusiast.
Ballis' father, John, owned Groovy, who was voted Eclipse Award sprint champion in 1987.

AT LAST, the debate is over. Radioactive iodine-131 from the Chernobyl accident in 1986 really is to blame for the hundreds of thyroid cancers among children in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine.
Despite evidence of a 90-fold increase in rates of thyroid cancer in the most contaminated region, some scientists questioned whether radiation was the cause. They argued that the doses people received were too low to cause cancer. Now Elizabeth Cardis of the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France, and 35 colleagues have compared 276 children with thyroid cancer with 1300 controls. They found a strong correlation between the dose children received and their risk of developing thyroid cancer (Journal of the National Cancer Institute, vol 97, p 724).
"This link has now been unequivocally confirmed," says Keith Baverstock of the University of Kuopio in Finland, one of the scientists who first highlighted the Chernobyl thyroid cancers. ...

`One point five million. A million, five hundred thousand. Shoot."
It was Friday morning and Clyde Dortch sat under a solitary tree at Cabrini-Green, a newspaper on his lap, a huddle of friends shaking their heads at the headline: "$1.5 million in shooting by cop."
A million five. That's a lot of money even next door in Chicago's pricey Gold Coast neighborhood. In Cabrini, where poverty is the inheritance passed through generations, it's a lot more.
"To us," said Debra Crosby, 42, a lifelong Cabrini resident, "that's like a billion dollars."
Nobody would wish for such a jackpot if winning it meant losing a loved one. The assembled residents were quick to say that, fiercely. Still, they see the money as a ticket out of public housing for Russell's family, and they can't help but fantasize what such a well-heeled escape might be like for them.
"If I had that much money," said Dortch, rolling a cigarette, "I'd travel. What, I'm 44 years old, man, and I ain't never did nothing. Been to Alabama and back. I want to see what the world's made of."
Andrew Hardin, 48, an ex-con carrying his resume and the help-wanted ads in a black briefcase, spoke up.
"I would give some of it back to the community, build something where the kids could feel comfortable," he said. He'd also buy stock, he said with a laugh, especially in the Department of Corrections.
"What about you?" Dortch said to a third man.
"I'd help out the little kids. My family. And just enjoy my life."
"To the fullest," Dortch said.
"To the fullest."
The jury's award, which the city may appeal, gave Cabrini residents a brief moment to cheer and vent and dream, but they seem to know that in the long run, it doesn't change much for them. Sure, it's a victory to feel that in the eyes of one jury, in one case, they're not the bad guys.
But their relationship with the police, whose blue-and-white cars constantly roam Cabrini's littered streets, remains a complex mix of anger, fear and need. And their relationship with money remains a matter not of millions, but of pennies.
"Doesn't mean nothing to me," James Yates, 60, said about that million five as he organized three shopping carts filled with cardboard. He'd rescued it from trash bins and was waiting in a Cabrini parking lot for the salvage truck that pays him 7 1/2 cents a pound.
This is the economy in which Cabrini residents continue to exist--or subsist--even as Chicago's most notorious housing project is torn down bit by bit to make way for mixed-income development. Walk around on a summer day and in addition to the jobless and the drinkers who sit on milk crates or mill on sidewalks, you'll find the entrepreneurs. Dumpster divers, Snow-cone sellers, candy peddlers, drug dealers and, most days, Ronald Patton, who has moved away but comes back to hustle.
"You need socks, boss? I got socks. Three pairs, $2."
Patton, 61, called to every passerby, and whenever one took the bait, he fished socks from a plastic bag emblazoned "The Pampered Chef." He also sells pots, pans, towels, incense and body oil. This is how money works in Cabrini, he said. Sell it cheap and you can sell anything, partly because people here seldom leave the grounds.
As for that million five?
"It's the right decision," he said. "But I feel sorry for the cops. Here's the thing: People got so much frustration, and the cops, they got to bear the brunt of it. What's up, daddy?" he interrupted himself, "You need socks?"
Back under the tree, the newspaper readers wondered whether the $1.5 million would amount to much for the dead man's family.
"Once she get through paying the lawyers' fees and taxes she won't have nothing," said Debra Crosby.
"Money is like a shadow," added Dortch. "Here today, gone tomorrow."

A critic of what he called the "anti-democratic role of money in politics," Mr. Miller spent very little money (about $250 total) on the campaign and, as a matter of principle, accepted no campaign contributions of money. In the 1992 election, independent candidate Miller received more than 20,000 votes out of approximately 252,258 cast.

Business was brisk in the city centre yesterday as parents and schoolchildren made last minute preparations ahead of the schools opening today. While prices of school uniforms and stationery remained stable parents were, however, rushing to make last minute preparations for the schools opening.
Long queues were the order of the day at shops that sell school uniforms.
Police also swooped on unroadworthy buses ferrying schoolchildren to their schools.
Zanu-PF secretary for education and veteran educationist Cde Sikhanyiso Ndlovu yesterday urged parents to always prepare well ahead of schools opening.
"This is a critical time in the life of the learners, this marks an important turning point in the lives of these future leaders, future scholars and future professionals. Adequate safe transport should be arranged to avoid accidents which take away the lives of these God-given young Zimbabwean children," he said.
He urged parents to prepare teaching schemes and materials for pupils to gain appropriate knowledge and skills.
"Teaching methodologies should be made interesting and should take into account the various categories of learning -- such as cognitive domain which involves cognition or cognising what is to be learnt and comprehending, thus gaining new knowledge through comprehension.
"There is the psychomotor domain which is concerned with the use of hands, eyes and legs -- the example is the learning of practical subjects like physics, chemistry, carpentry, graphics and sport," he said.
Dr Ndlovu called for the use of the affective domain that makes learners appreciate what they are learning and become actively involved in the learning process. He said it was vital for learning to be done in a conducive environment for pupils to deduce its value.
National traffic police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Luckmore Chakanza said they had impounded several unroadworthy buses to ensure the safety of school children.
"We have no choice but to make these buses offload their passengers to curb fatalities. We expect school authorities to play their role and hire good buses. As we speak, close to 10 buses were forced to offload at Rotten Row and we will continue checking on the buses," he said.
The police action left scores of school children stranded after their buses were impounded.
However, some parents lauded the move by the police. Mrs Joyce Machutu from Harare urged parents to be responsible for the safety of their children.

Tech Talk 3 by Jordan Christiansen
Piracy: From the Caribbean to the Cubicle
It's illegal, immoral and it carries severe penalties. Need more reasons?
July 2008
- Tech Talk 1 When it comes to manual approval processes, the bottom line is that they're simply inefficient, slow and wasteful. It's time to automate and make your money back.
- Tech Talk 2 Too often, IT is regarded as a necessary evil needed to manage the company's technology. But it's high time you took your rightful place as the golden goose in your organization!
- Tech Talk 3 Piracy affects you, whether you know it or not. Find out how and what you can do to help curb the worldwide problem and bring those to justice who rob your bottom line.
- Tech Talk 4 Has your data center sprawled out like your hound dog after devouring a hefty Thanksgiving feast? With this technology and the right strategy, you could have major savings.
- Connection Magazine July full .pdf
- Proof Point Nationally ranked Georgetown University uses Novell technology to consolidate servers by 90% and cut implementation time for new applications by 50%!
- Trend Talk Trends come and go. Is the trend of buying and selling software as we've known it for 25 years about to end? What's on the horizon and what's the next evolutionary step?
Pirating Goes By Many Names
Software pirates infringe copyrights in many ways; the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) has posted on their Web site a document called What Is Software Piracy: The Piracy Problem which describes ten commonly used methods of infringing copyrights. The following is a simple summary of the items in that list, so check out that document for the full descriptions.
- Softlifting When someone buys a single license of a software application and loads it on several machines, they are softlifing. This happens when people "share" software with others who don't own licenses to use the software. It also happens when you install the software on your home or laptop computers when the license doesn't allow it to be installed on more than one computer. Softlifting is the type of copyright infringement most often found in businesses.
- Unrestricted Client Access When someone owning a single-user license to a software application copies the application onto a network server and others on the network can access it, it's called Unrestricted Client Access. Single-user licenses usually only allow the application to be installed on a single computer at a time; hence, when more than one person installs the software on an additional computer, it's breaking the copyright laws and is illegal.
- Hard-disk Loading When someone sells computers or hard disks that are preloaded with illegal copies of software, meaning they don't come with a valid license or registration number to use the software, it's called hard-disk loading.
- OEM Piracy/Unbundling Often, software is bundled with and only sold as part of a package with specific hardware, such as when you buy a new computer, it usually has an operating system preloaded. That software is called original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, software. It can be operating systems, applications and utilities of all kinds. When someone sells OEM software by itself without the specific hardware with which it should be bundled, it's illegal. In the same way, if an application is supposed to be sold only with another application, it's called a bundle. When the apps in that bundle are split up and sold separately, it's called unbundling and is also illegal. Both ways are a breach of the distribution contract between the vendor and the software publisher. If you come across software that is marked as "not for resale," steer clear if it didn't come in some type of bundle; it probably carries with it a fine if you're caught using it.
- Commercial Use of Noncommercial Software Software publishers often sell educational or commercial-use-restricted versions of their software to various target markets, such as students, at a reduced price. It's illegal to acquire or use these types of licenses if you're not a valid member of the target market. For example, if you buy and use an educational version of an application and you're not a student or employee of an accredited educational institution, you're breaking the law.
- Counterfeiting Counterfeiting is when someone duplicates and sells unauthorized copies of software in a way so the buyer thinks it's a legal copy authorized by the legal publisher.
- CD-R Piracy Making a copy of closed source software using a CD recorder and selling it, or even just e-mailing the application files to someone else that doesn't have a legal license to use the software, is piracy, and thus, illegal.
- Internet Piracy When someone uploads commercial software to the Internet that is not freeware or in the public domain, so anybody can copy and use the software, it's Internet Piracy and this wave is getting bigger all the time. With the growing wave is coming heftier fines, too; so beware.
- Manufacturing Plant Sale of Overruns and 'Scraps' Software publishers produce a master copy of their software program and contract with a CD manufacturing plants to produce the vast amounts of copies of the software onto CDs. The copies are then distributed to the vendors in the marketplace to sell to the public. When a CD duplicating plant makes more CDs than it was contracted to make and then sells the extras, or when the contract states that extras will be destroyed, but the plant instead resells those CDs, it's illegal. Stay away.
- Renting You can't rent software in the US for temporary use, as you can movies because of the Software Rental Amendments Act of 1990, which makes the practice illegal.
Will Turner, the daring blacksmith hoping to rescue Elizabeth from a shipload of pirates who have kidnapped her, teams with Jack in the hopes of finding the pirates' hideout. In joining with a pirate, however, Will quickly realizes his morals are going to be compromised. When Jack recommends using the fastest ship in the British Royal Navy, Will responds, "We're going to steal a ship? That ship?" Jack, in an attempt to rationalize, quickly quips, "Commandeer. We're going to commandeer that ship. Nautical term." Software infringement goes by many names, only ten of which are mentioned above. Don't be fooled; no matter what it's called, it's still stealing!
Choose the Right
Help report piracy in the workplace and encourage others you see doing it at home. Don't try to push away your conscience. Elizabeth, hoping to moralize Jack, tells him, "There will come a time when you have a chance to do the right thing." Jack stubbornly replies, "I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by." Aid others in making the right decision and protect those that do by reporting cases of piracy.
As Donne said, "No man is an island." Seldom do those who buy, sell or burn counterfeits do so without anybody knowing; indeed, you usually either have to get the program from someone to make copies of it, or you need buyers that will buy the counterfeit software from you.
Novell is a member of the Software Information Industry Association's (SIIA) Anti-Piracy Program, along with a number of other companies united in helping to prevent software copyright infringement. The SIIA teams with software companies around the world to crack down on pirating. If you have a case you want the SIIA to check out, fill out this online form.
In the words of Jack toward the end of the film, "I think we've all arrived at a very special place. Spiritually, ecumenically, grammatically." For those who are wondering, we'll make ecumenically the Novell Connection Magazine Vocab Word of the Month. It is an adjective meaning "worldwide or general in extent, influence or application."
Bet you didn't learn that one in sixth grade. But yes, copyright laws are usually quite ecumenical. Software pirates live everywhere from the US to Ukraine, Brazil to Belgium, Canada to China and South Africa to South Korea. Various organizations are working to protect people, companies, and the marketplace by organizing campaigns. For instance, If you currently live or work in Latin America, you can participate in a program offered by Novell, Campana de Antipiratería para Partners en America Latina, or, Anti-piracy Partners Campaign in Latin America (See A Strong Antipiracy Campaign). Others outside of Latin America can report any other infringement of Novell copyright to email@example.com.
Help the software industry progress around the world by refraining from and cracking down on software copyright infringement. It only takes one to do a lot of damage; but it also only takes one to help. You can assist yourself and others in avoiding litigation in addition to giving yourself one of the best gifts of all—a clear conscience.

Lovie responds to Cutler critics Martz, Mora Sr.Continue reading.
Lovie Smith insists Jay Cutler didn't have input on Mike Martz
Bears coach Lovie Smith said quarterback Jay Cutler didn't influence Mike Martz's future with the team.
Smith told the Sun-Times that he talked to Martz Tuesday, informed his staff then Cutler, who was at Halas Hall on Tuesday. A report Thursday said that Cutler went to the team's headquarters and let Smith know he was in favor of Martz not returning, before the coaches had a chance to meet.
"That didn't happen," Smith said. "I didn't talk to Jay until after I talked to Mike."
Smith said that Cutler reiterated his support of the head coach's decision.
Martz told the Sun-Times Wednesday that he had nothing against Smith or Cutler.
"There's nothing to analyze," Martz said. "This is a personal thing for me. There isn't anything to talk about or discuss.
"I have great memories of Chicago. The people there are great."
On Smith, Martz said, "It was a thrill to join Lovie's staff."
On Cutler, Martz said, "Jay is so talented. He got comfortable [in the offense]. But that's on Jay, not myself."

Chef is locked into salt. Salted butter, salted steak, etc. Steak was very ordinary, reasonable grade of meat, but poorly seasoned - except for the salt. Waiter was not familiar with silverware. No way to move food from serving bowl to plate. Somewhat noisy place - but that could be by choice. Opinion: food taste should be first food appearance is second. This restaurant gets an A for presentation, but a C for taste.

First off, they have the coolest Jellyfish/blacklight tank you pass when you getting seated. You can either opt to sit inside the nicely designed restaurant or sit outside overlooking the main road and the beach. The W (the hotel its located at) is extremely fashionable as well. Valet parking is a plus since I like that, but it is however mandatory if you want to park there. Food was what I expected but not the nicest steak house either. Only thing that was bad was the fact that people can walk right off the sidewalk and into the outside eating area, which of course happened and that is why I took note. Overall I would visit again. Thanks for your great service.

The atmosphere is outstanding. Very elegant, but don't let that trick you. I ordered a filet cooked medium. When I received it, it was rare and the waiter didn't even wait to see if it was cooked correctly. I handed it back after waiting five minutes for someone to walk by. Service is subpar. I had an empty glass for more than ten minutes before someone came to fill it. When the steak came back the second time, it was still a tad rare. I was fed up with my wasted time so I ate it. Guess what... It's a plain steak. There is nothing, not even butter on this filet. A plain steak that tastes like a regular filet for $45.

A heartfelt thanks goes out to everyone for your ongoing support and participation in this unique event.
Our next event will be on Saturday, May 10th - we need volunteers so please mark this on your calendar!

An Israeli police explosives expert collects the remains of a rocket fired by Palestinian militants in Gaza after it landed in a factory in the southern town of Sderot November 11, 2012. REUTERS/Amir Cohen
JERUSALEM: Israeli police stormed a school in a Bedouin village in the southern Negev desert on Monday, firing tear gas and bullets and causing 29 children to be taken to hospital, a village leader said.
The incident occurred early in the morning at the village of Bir Hadaj, village council head Salman Abu Hamid told AFP.
Israeli police denied the report, saying their forces clashed with protesters some 300 metres (yards) from the school, as they accompanied interior ministry officials to examine illegally constructed buildings.
"Forces from the interior ministry accompanied by police... entered the village to distribute demolition orders for homes, which led to clashes and stonethrowing," said Abu Hamid.
"The police used live and rubber bullets, and tear gas and stormed the school, injuring 29 students between the ages of eight and 12, who were taken to Soroka hospital."
A spokeswoman for Soroka medical centre in the southern city of Beersheva confirmed to AFP that "29 students suspected of tear gas inhalation were admitted to the hospital, treated and discharged."
Police spokeswoman Luba Samri confirmed there were clashes in the village, with youths throwing stones and burning tyres, but denied police had entered the school.
"The police activity was about 300 metres from the school grounds," she said.

When alcohol abuse hits home
A story that was a DUI car accident news brief in the Bay Area media last weekend hit a little too close to home when I found out that my good friend's son, a boy I and my kids have come to adore, was a passenger in the car.
Our sweet little friend was OK, but unfortunately a child in the car that was hit was taken to the hospital by helicopter in critical condition. Our family is sick with worry about her, and we cannot begin to imagine what her parents must be going through.
Any of us — any of you — could have been the unlucky victims. It happened in our hometown, on a street we all drive almost daily. They were just a family of four minding their own business when out of the blue, someone else's decision to drink and drive changed their lives in an instant.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewJames Pierce is a soldier in the Galactic Federation Army in Metroid: Other M. In Metroid: Other M, he serves as the communications expert of the 07th Platoon General Adam Malkovich takes to investigate the Bottle Ship.Prior to joining the 07th Platoon, James worked for the Federation Central Information Agenency, Intelligence Group 2 where he developed a specialization in communication technologies. Sometime later, James was transferred to the 07th Platoon, where he worked under General Adam Malkovich. During the events of Other M, he works the other members of his Platoon to rescue any survivors on the Bottle Ship.The DeleterAs the investigation on the Bottle Ship continues, Samus Aran discovers that an assassin has been sent aboard to eliminate all traces of illegal bio-weapon research conducted by the science team. After being attacked by an unknown assailant in Galactic Federation combat gear, Samus concludes that either Adam, Anthony Higgs, K.G. Misawa, or James is the assassin and names him, "The Deleter." As the game proceeds, a cutscene is played depicting one of the GF soldiers dumping the body of another in a smelter pit, though the identities of the soldiers in question is obscured. Subsequently, Anthony is cleared of suspicion after he helps Samus by nearly dying while attracting Ridley's attention, and after Samus's encounter with Adam and his subsequent sacrifice, the only remaining possible suspects are James and K.G. Since one of the two had to have been the one that was dropped into the smelter pit, then the other must be the culprit. The Deleter is seen confronting MB in a brief cutscene, but when Samus arrives at the location of the encounter later on, she only finds the corpse of the last remaining GF Solider on the floor. That soldier is James.Further proof of James's identity as the Deleter can be found in the character profiles during the game's epilogue gameplay. Of the GF soldiers, all are declared as dead except for K.G., who was dumped into the smelter pit, and thus his body was never accounted for.

Glee Season 4 Scoop: When Is Kurt's Dad Coming Back? — Exclusive
Burt Hummel (Mike O'Malley) is without a doubt one of the greatest fathers on television, but we've sadly seen very little of him so far on Glee this season.
Burt did drive his son to the airport, sending Kurt (Chris Colfer) off to New York City to pursue his dreams. But since that moment, we've seen and heard nothing from him! So is Burt coming back to Glee at all? And if so, how big of an arc will he have?
Wetpaint Entertainment spoke exclusively with Mike O'Malley at the premiere of his new movie Certainty, which he wrote, on November 27, and he gave us a few teasers of what's in store when Kurt and Burt reunite in New York City for Glee's Season 4 Christmas special: "Glee, Actually."
Are you on Glee coming up?
Coming out on the Christmas episode — well, not coming out. Wouldn't that be interesting? Burt is coming out in the Christmas episode. I will be in the Christmas episode, so I'm looking forward to that. I get to go to New York and visit with Kurt. The Christmas episode feels like a movie — very spectacular.
Any other episodes?
The one coming up, nothing other than that.
What do you think about Kurt's storyline this year?
I think it's been great. The only thing that hasn't been great is less opportunity for me to be on the show.

Lovers of nature can be sure are sure that they can feed on the whole gamut of the natural world and history that there is on offer as they keep a date with the multi award winning television producer and travel/tourism writer, Yvonne Henry Bassey on the Africa Magic Chanel on DStv Wednesdays.
Yvonne who has succeeded in cultivating a cult-like followership over the years, started promoting African destinations in her uniquely entertaining style from her days at Channels Television. It was long before her knack for excellence stood her out.
Till today, she becomes emotional when talking about Channels. She calls the television house her 'first love.' "There is no doubt about the fact that Mr. John Momoh, the Chairman of Channels TV is the master of the game when it comes to television production. I sat at the feet of the master himself for seven years. He gave me a fantastic platform to shine, he gave me a blank cheque to travel to anywhere in the world. I started off as a newscaster. I became aviation reporter. Later, I added tourism to it tourism. After a while it became apparent that it was not possible to handle the two. I then settled for tourism.
Beyond love for the job, it appears she entered into a covenant with travels/tourism reporting, it is the only beat in journalism that she is interested in. Such is her devotion that when Channels re-assigned her to another beat, many of her followers knew that her days were numbered in that establishment. Her winning ways of garnering colourful feathers to her hat naturally started at Channels.
At her exit from Channels, not a few wondered if Yvonne would continue to soar. They did not have to wait for too long. Having overcome the trauma which enveloped her like one whose precious baby was untimely snatched from her, Yvonne launched out with a package that everyone agreed was worthy of her experience and clout in the tourism/media industry. One of the pointers to her seriousness was that she chose to re-launch herself as an independent television producer. Typical of her intriguing ways, she chose a rather curious name (which is also a mouthful) as the name of the programme.
Thru' The Eyes of An African is not just the name of the programme. It is also the name of Yvonne's burgeoning media empire. More than that it is a statement of her commitment and bias. Like Fela Anikulapo-Kuti and many Afrocentric persons, Africa is the centre of of Yvonnes's world and she is wont to view circumstances and events as they occur from an African viewpoint. With a name like that, you immediately know which side of the divide stands.
At the recent Nigeria Media Merit Award at Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos, Yvonne was on song again. Apart from winning the TV Programme Presenter of the Year, her efforts at promotion of African destinations through TV documentaries was rewarded with the TV Production of the Year award.
Now in its Sixth Season, Thru' The Eyes of An African, Yvonne said the best is yet to come as she joins a small population of entrepreneurs and professionals whose steadfast push has led to a slow but rewarding change of attitude to tourism in Nigeria. Sometimes, she pinches herself to be sure that this unending journey s not a fantastic dream from which she would soon wake up. "I was told that I would never air my programme on DStv. I did not even have enough money to pay for my first season. It's God because there is no other person I can attribute this to. They aired my programme even when I had not finished paying for my season one. God has been sustaining it. Sometimes I sit down and wonder how it happened.
Thru' The Eyes Of An African is a weekly travel and tourism related programme that is aimed at promoting African destination basically, with special emphasis on Nigeria. It is concerned with tourist sites, heritage, legacies, cultures of different African groups and ethnic groups that have not received much attention, sites that have been relegated to the background, strengthening the economy in creating jobs and adding value to the nation's economy generally.
