Crews take on massive fire at empty factory in Leicester
Posted: May 13, 2011|
More than 60 firefighters tackled a massive blaze at an empty factory yesterday.
The fire, at a five-storey building in North Mills, Frog Island, Leicester, was reported at 6.40pm.
The building was well alight with flames gushing from the windows and thick, black smoke could be seen from across the city.
The fire service sent eight fire crews from across Leicester, as well as two ladder platforms, to the incident, which was only under control by 9.30pm.
Leicester Mercury reader Sharon Bromley, who took a photograph of the fire at its height, called 999 from her home in Bassett Street.
She said: "We first noticed the fire at about 6.50pm.
"My mate said to me, 'Should there be smoke coming out of that building?'.
"It was one of the old factories by the river that's been derelict for a while.
"I went and called the fire brigade and they said they were on their way to it.
"When I went back to look, there was a lot more fire and then it went up quite suddenly, so I started taking pictures. It looks like the whole building's had it. It was a nice old one, too."
A fire spokesman said: "It was a five-storey building and the fourth and fifth storeys were well alight.
"We received a lot of calls even after we got there saying people could see smoke from quite a distance away.
"The cause is not known at this time.
"We believe it was a derelict building."

Kampala — The fishing sector ranks among those that contribute highly to Uganda's economy.
It employs a lot of local fishermen while earning foreign exchange.
Records from the Ministry of agriculture, animal husbandry and fisheries show that in 2009, Uganda exported 1.7m tones of fish earning about U$8.543m, of which the bigger percentage was Nile perch.
In 2010 the sector contributed U$119.6m from just over 23,967tones.
Information seen by East African Business Week from the Uganda Export Promotions Board, in 2011, Uganda exported 15,500tones of fish earning about Shs212billion. Still, the bigger portion was got from the Nile Perch species.
It shows that the number of fish being exported to the biggest destination markets like Europe is declining. This may affect the country's economy.
Sector players in the industry attribute the decline to the increasing use of illegal fishing methods that capture both mature and immature fish in the water bodies like Lake Victoria.
They also blame it on the increasing population, and environmental changes among others.
Mr. William Tayebwa the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Uganda Fish Processors and Exporters Association told East African Business Week that due to the increased population, it has caused high demand for the fish both locally, regionally and internationally.
"Population growth is having big impact on the fish sector because the number of people feeding on fish has increased yet the lake are not expanding this has left the processors and exporters with little fish for export, "explained Tayebwa.
He added that the sector lacks stringent protection measures to save water bodies from being over exploited.
Tayebwa observed that it's only in Uganda where everyone is allowed to enter into the lake and fish which he said has opened the avenue for fishermen to use poor fishing methods.
He also blamed the poor performance of the sector particularly in the year of 2011/2012 to the Euro zone crisis which affected international demand for fish.
Mr. Philip Borel the Chairman of Uganda Fish Exporters and Processors Association was quoted in a local daily saying that the crisis hurt them seriously.
"The Euro zone crisis is hitting hard on the industry, we're seeing a drop in the prices yet we have no choice but to keep in business, "he told the daily in an interview.
In 2012 the government also announced plans to revive the fishing sector through promotion of Aquaculture parks.
According to the investment agency (Uganda Investment Authority) the parks could act as the industrial parks but for the case of Aquaculture parks these were to be gazetted for fish farming both at small scale and commercial scale.
In the same year, fishermen proposed big demonstration over what they called poor prices for fish.
Some fishermen complained that the fish processors were paying them very small amount of money despite the fact that the price for fish on the international market was high.
Despite all such challenges in the sector, there's hope that the it may regain potential by supplying enough volume of fish this year, if Government intensifies with its enforcement on illegal fishing.
Mr. Abdul Kiwendo, the Head of Beach Management Unit that curbs illegal fishing on lakes, told EABW that there big improvement on the size of fish being caught in Lake Victoria.
He stressed that many fishermen stopped using illegal nets that capture immature fish in the lake.
"The policy that was introduced by the ministry is working because it has intensified the surveillance exercise in order to make sure that illegal fishermen are arrested on all water bodies," said Kiwendo.
Although the policy is working to the Minister of State for Fisheries Ms. Ruth Nankabirwa recently told stakeholders in the fish sector that improving on the enforcement may not yield positive results if government does not amend the fishing penalties.
The minister expressed disappointment that as much as the culprits are brought to book the penalties from the existing laws are still very weak.
"You find someone caught with a consignment of immature fish valued millions of money but sentenced to only 6 months or made to pay a fine of Ush2000. Will this person stop participating in illegal fishing?" she asked.
In order for the sector to improve on its performance the Minister told the EABW that there is need for the government to come up with autonomous authority responsible for fisheries.
She reasons that it will empower some officers to be more effective on the ground as compared to the whole sector now ran by a department in the ministry of Agriculture.
She added that in the year 2013 the ministry will focus more on promoting fish farming in the country since government has trained some local farmers in fish farming.
For Uganda to have brilliant fish sector in the coming year starting with 2013, fish exporter's urge government to institutionalize capacity building and support.
Tayebwa notes that Government needs to set up its effort to support a competent authority by improving on its budgetary allocation to enable it carry its mandate efficiently.
He said that lack of sufficient funds leaves some of its functions unfulfilled.
According to a source at the fisheries department in the ministry of Agriculture, there is need for Government to put in place subsidies to support development of aquaculture parks.
This could be directly tackled through capital injection and tax levies on aquaculture materials and services within this required period.
The source further adds that there is need for investment in infrastructure for storage and marketing of processed Mukene and other small fish's species considering that establishment of community processing infrastructure can only improve.
Manufacture of Value Added Fish Products -UIA say that there's No firm in the country that processes fish into finished products such as canned fish, fish soups and breaded fish products.
Local and Regional Cold Distribution Chain - Refrigeration facilities are required to enable distribution of fish to the local and regional market.
Dry/Smoked Fish - Demand for dry/smoked fish is high within the region including the European Union. In addition the Capital investment required to setup a drying facility is rather low. Equipment for hot smoking, capable of producing 200 metric tonnes per year costs about US$ 200,000.
Production of high value added by products - Currently, only one firm, Uganda Fish Skin tannery converts fish skins into leather for export. Other value added products such as isinglass and pharmaceuticals could also be manufactured from fisheries waste.

Photo of the Cabot St Theater by Hiroshi Sugimoto via 1 Image = 1001 Words
The truth: I'm planning a quiet weekend. Yoga, movies and cooking lots of fresh produce sounds about right. Hence the snail's pace speed of my picks this week. If you're looking for more excitement, read on for links to my peers' selections. Jane's list is particularly active this week; Amesbury and Newburyport are hopping!
1. If you and I are the only two people who haven't seen Inception, we'll probably cross paths at the Cabot St. Cinema this weekend. Why brave the fluorescent halls of the cineplex when you can instead be ushered through the front door by a guy in a tux, charmed by a live piano player as you buy your popcorn, and sit in the gilded lap of a vaudevillian 1920′s playhouse for the duration of the film? Inception is playing at 5pm and 8pm Friday and Saturday.
2. Friday is the last night of Cape Ann Restaurant Week (3 courses for $25).
3. Check out the vintage capes at Francie's Boutique in Rockport. I recently picked up two there (navy and purple tweed), but there are two more stunners on the rack as of yesterday: brilliant red and a cobalt blue with frog closures.
4. Rockport Friends of Library Book Sale: Annual fall book sale is in the public library's second-floor Brenner Room this Friday through Sunday, Oct. 22 to 24. Hours are Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. Choose from paperbacks of all types, hardback books at bargain prices, children's books, and treats from the Friends' special bake sale.
For more and further-flung ideas, check out recommendations from my friends at North Shore Dish, Food & Fiction, Good Morning Gloucester , The Two Palaverers, Lynn Happens and Food for Thought.
P.S. I finally bought a slow cooker (Torrie's recommendation on Twitter was spot on, this is the best option if you plan to haul a dish elsewhere). If it were here already I might make Scrumptious' Crockpot Chicken Spezzatino – head over for that recipe and a decadent baked camembert.
P.P.S Follow 5thjoy on Twitter and Facebook, won't you please?

A Rad Drink, A Bad Diet.
On a hot summer's day, the bubble milk tea stand beckons with an almost hypnotic imagery of an icy cool beverage swirling with tapioca pearls. Just before you give in to you daily craving, hop on our bandwagon as we take a little tour of the wonders that make up the popular drink that has swept the entire globe.
Got Milk?
Bubble milk tea sans the milk is like going to the gym with no hunks to ogle at (you know I'm right). As with most indulgent foods, the creamy nature of milk caresses the palate like you'd wish a suave guy picks you up. Unfortunately, the milk in the tea is not likely to be fresh milk, and sometimes, not really even milk. Most bubble milk tea vendors use milk essence as the main ingredient in their brews. Why? According to one write-up, a teaspoon of milk essence trumps ten cups of fresh milk. The main ingredient of the ominous milk essence is hydrogenated vegetable oil, a type of trans fat, which equates to lots of calories. Experts says that a glass of 500 ml of bubble tea a day far exceed the allowable limit of trans fat for any person. Watch those arteries!
I Need My Tea!
The tea itself, usually black or green tea, purports to be low in fat, low in calories and rich with cell-supporting antioxidants (hurray!). The caffeine in tea can be a good thing if you want a little boost in the day, but if this becomes one of your frequent indulgences, be prepared for restlessness, irritability and more caffeine the next morning. The bad, is when the milk is swirled into the tea, packing on the calories, and then some. The ugly, is what makes your bubble milk tea taste like watermelon. To add flavour, some establishments use the puree of fresh fruits (yay!), but many opt for the cost-effective method of adding in fruit syrup instead, which means sugar, sugar, sugar! (Boo!) Then you'll definitely need more caffeine the next day.
The Black Pearl(s)
For you health buffs out there — be afraid, be very afraid. For the others, you might want to take notes as well. The pearls bobbing up and down in your beverage are made from tapioca, which is the major carb source in your drink. Here's the blockbuster, some estimates claim that just one ounce of tapioca pearls contains 100 calories — how many are in your cup? If that's not enough to make you scream in horror, meet Mr. Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, you can call him DEHP. DEHP specializes in making things flexible, like plastic. While good in the plastic industry, DEHP is quite unwelcome into the human anatomy as he is a carcinogen, a substance that causes cancer. Some unscrupulous merchants use DEHP as an additive to make the pearls more chewier. Recently in the U.K., health officials cracked down on bubble tea ingredients suspected to have been tainted with DEHP. We hope that this does not need to occur here on our shores.
Pearl Schmearl
Having said that, if you're still determined to have that cup of bubble milk tea, you're not to be blamed. Just run a few more minutes on the treadmill while you're at the gym, and you should burn off the excess carbs in no time. Maybe go for a few less pearls, just in case.
As for me, I'll just stick with smoothies.

Students attend art class once weekly. The art lab is a spacious area that allows students to explore multiple art media. The lab is equipped with a kiln allowing the young artists experience in creating with clay. Students are encouraged to participate in art contests in the community as well as the Fine Arts exhibits scheduled during the year at UMS-Wright.
The Lower School counselor meets weekly with each K4 through Second Grade classroom and bi-monthly with students in grades three through five. The focus of the large group counseling session is on "Respecting Others" and "Building Character". The counselor is also available to meet the students and/or parents individually.
Foreign Language instruction begins at the K4 level. Students in K4 through Second Grade attend Spanish class once a week. Third Grade through Fifth Grade attends Spanish class twice a week.
Spanish instruction encourages language acquisition skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing; taught in a fun, informal atmosphere. Students progress from learning to recognize and to speak basic phrases to the point of initiating conversation with fellow students and the instructor. Vocabulary centers on basic objects, places and common kinship terms. Connections are made across the curriculum through literature selections and the study of the cultures of Spanish and French speaking countries.
Each class visits the library once a week to enjoy literature and receive direct instruction in library science. The Lower School Library is a warm, friendly, and inviting place where students are encouraged to become lifelong readers. Young children enjoy shared reading on the "story steps" before browsing the book section.
In addition to the once per week class visit, students in grades first through fifth move in and out of the library for book selection before, during, and after school. The automated system in the Harris Library provides a user-friendly system and promotes student independence. Parents are encouraged to visit the library with their students and take advantage of the available resources. Student computers are available for research and online reading.
music & drama
Students attend a combined music and drama class once a week. During music/drama class students participate in various music and drama activities that encourage creative thinking and refine performing skills. Each year grade level shows are peformed by students in K-5 through fifth grade. Most of our lower school shows include singing, drama, and dancing. Students in third through fifth grades have the opportunity to participate in our Lower School Chorus program which sings in community events and has been invited to sing at the Governor's Mansion.
Physical Education
Students attend physical education class three to four times weekly depending on the grade level. Ample outdoor space, the PAC gym, and the pool facilities enhance the environment for physical education classes in the Lower School. Weather permitting, students in grades first through fifth swim during the months of August, September, and May. Students are required to dress in the P.E. uniform for participation in class.
All Lower School students receive instruction in the lab on a weekly basis. While in the lab, students are monitored and educated in the safety issues of working online. All internet research is monitored, and sites accessed by the students are bookmarked sites. In addition to the weekly computer class, thrid grade students attend a nine-week keyboarding class thirty minutes daily.
The intent of the Lower School technology program is to equip students with the necessary skills to live and work in the 21st Century. While the school is challenged to stay abreast of the latest developemnts in the area of technnology, the aim is to provide our teachers and students with appropriate computer based learning tools and resources for instruction in the content areas. With the use of Smart Boards, technology is integrated across the curriculum with students having access to online resources within the classroom setting. This process allows active participation by the students.

Really? What criteria are you using to come to this ridiculous conclusion?
Uhm, no.
It's happening in place where the governments are cutting education. Countries that are still heavily invested in education; Finland, South Korea, New Zealand, Japan and Norway are doing perfect fine. The US has had a anti-intellectual mindset for a few decades now, mainly thanks to the tea party.
America #5, Finland #17, South Korea not in the top 22, New Zealand #18, Japan not in the top 22, and finally Norway, #8 in starting teacher salaries.
If you're going based on GDP, then you may be correct in %, but not in total dollars, you know, considering Norway's GDP is only $485.8 billion (2011) and America's is $15.09 trillion (2011).
The problem with education in America isn't how much that's spent, it is that there's no focus on actual studies, it is more on memorization. We have horrible standards of learning tests (at least my state did) that didn't really require us to learn the subjects, just memorize them. And there's a major difference between the two, at least I think so.
The US spends five times more than any other country on education. So try again on America not investing in education. And slams on a grassroots party that has only been around for four years, really is ignorant.
Now, with regard to Mr. Gates' comments, I agree that we need to invest in better teachers, but one of the problems, at least from my perspective, is that poor teachers are rarely fired because of unions. Unions have no place in the education system, period. A poor teacher should not be shielded by a union, it is unacceptable for this to happen. There needs to be a body, even an international body, like CompTIA for certifications in technology, that teachers get their accreditations from that have to be renewed every few years or they can't teach anymore. This will keep teachers on their toes for knowing what they should be teaching their students. I had way to many teachers who simply did not understand the material they taught, or could not teach in real world scenarios. For example, one of my computer teachers was very book smart, but applying the lessons to the real world was incredibly difficult for him.
Our problem isn't a lack of funding, it is a lack of good teachers and getting rid of the poor ones.
Here's an article regarding this matter from a teacher who opposed teachers unions: http://news.yahoo.co...-152100130.html

Final Score: Dallas 107, LA Lakers 95
Los Angeles, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Dirk Nowitzki scored 27 points with nine rebounds and five assists to lead the Dallas Mavericks to a 107-95 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Brandan Wright posted a season-high 23 points off the bench on 10-for-10 shooting for the Mavericks and Shawn Marion tallied 15 points and grabbed eight boards.
"No one wants to miss shots," Wright said. "My teammates made some great passes to me. I always feel good on back-to-backs. We had a sense of urgency in the fourth quarter and pulled away."
Dallas remained one-half game ahead of Memphis and Phoenix for seventh place in the Western Conference. The Mavericks have five games remaining on their schedule, while the Grizzlies and Suns each have six games left.
Jodie Meeks led LA with 25 points, while Jordan Hill registered 14 points with 10 rebounds in the setback, the Lakers' third in a row and fifth in their last six games.
"I thought we played well for most of the game," said Mike D'Antoni. "We needed a couple more guys to have bigger games and we just didn't quite get it. We have to give them credit because they played like they were a playoff team. They played pretty well."
Nowitzki followed a Devin Harris 3-pointer with a jumper and the Mavericks led 82-78 after three quarters.
Nowitzki then opened the fourth with a jumper and Wright scored seven straight as Dallas used a 9-0 run to open the frame to take a 91-78 lead.
The Mavs led by as many as 15 after a Wright slam made it a 99-84 game midway through the fourth. LA couldn't trim the lead to single digits in the closing minutes as Dallas cruised.
Earlier, the Mavs led 27-23 after 12 minutes, but the Lakers brought a 54-52 lead into the halftime break.
Game Notes
Dallas shot 44-for-92 from the floor ... The Mavs had a 64-44 edge in the paint ... There were 12 lead changes and 11 ties ... Pau Gasol (vertigo) and Chris Kaman (strained calf) each missed the contest for LA.

Collaborative Filtering aims to predict user tastes, by minimising the mean error produced when predicting hidden user ratings. The aim of a deployed recommender system is to iteratively predict users' preferences over a dynamic, growing dataset, and system administrators are confronted with the problem of having to continuously tune the parameters calibrating their CF algorithm. In this work, we formalise CF as a time-dependent, iterative prediction problem. We then perform a temporal analysis of the Netflix dataset, and evaluate the temporal performance of two CF algorithms. We show that, due to the dynamic nature of the data, certain prediction methods that improve prediction accuracy on the Netflix probe set do not show similar improvements over a set of iterative train-test experiments with growing data. We then address the problem of parameter selection and update, and propose a method to automatically assign and update per-user neighbourhood sizes that (on the temporal scale) outperforms setting global parameters.

The Lasso: Roping in the best of the web
'I killed a man' confession video goes viral
This man, 22-year old Matthew Cordle, has just admitted to killing someone.
He's doing this before any charges have been filed against him. In a way this is the start of Cordle's atonement.
In the early morning hours of June 22, 2013 he drove home drunk. He blacked out, swerved into oncoming traffic and hit 61-year old Vincent Canzani, killing him.
Matthew said this "video will act as my confession." He said he's going against all legal advice by doing this. Several attorneys told him they could probably get his blood test (which proved he was driving drunk) thrown out. Instead, Matthew said he's going to accept whatever punishment comes his way.
He's not doing this alone.
He's got the help of Alex Sheen. Sheen shot the video for his new startup called Because I Said I Would. It's a non-profit geared towards promises, focusing on charity. Sheen explained that his organization will hand out promise cards to, "help you remember the importance of your commitments and goals."
Sheen knew using Cordle's confession would generate attention, both good and bad but he said this was Cordle's idea. He reached out to Sheen because he came across his website and liked the concept behind it. So we have his confession. So does the state of Ohio.
Maybe this isn't the best way to attract attention for a startup, but maybe it's worth it because it gets us to think about taking responsibility for our actions. Matthew Cordle did. And he'll end up in jail because of it.

1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Q&A
1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Question: Timing belt housing gasket
I just had my head gaskets replaced, thermostat and radiator cap replaced. 10 days later I saw my coolant dripping out from the left front and the shop showed me where the drip was coming from. Before the head gasket job I didn't have any coolant leaks. It is now leaking from what I think they said, the timing belt housing and needs a new gasket. They want $390 to do this and suggested I replace the water pump while they were in there for another $90. My question is, what made the timing belt housing unit blow its gasket after they put new head gaskets on, did a valve job, resurfaced the heads and drained and refilled my coolant. Is this something they deliberately caused to make me come back? - Bogie
2 Answers
Answer 1
if you got a head job they should had suggested to change the gasket even the water in good faith this is something they should have done. - sinautoscan.com
Answer 2
This is a tough one. It's hard to know what the condition of the gasket was at the time of the head gasket job. You wouldn't want a shop to recommend every possible gasket that could one day start leaking but you do want them to replace any gaskets that may be affected by the head gasket repair. I can't say which this is without seeing the vehicle, so sinautoscan may be correct, and maybe he has experience with this engine. They at lease should give you a very good discount, and it may be worth the effort to get a second opinion about the leak to see if it should have been recommended with the head gasket job, or if it may have been caused by the repair. Good Luck, let us know what happens! - Bret Bodas

The future revisited by Richard Grant
This is one of the poems he submitted for the award.
The future revisited
Roll up, roll up, get your taste of virtual history here,
Only 50 sub zone credits for the reality experience of a life time.
Stand and sing with the football Inter Stella world cup heroes of 2660,
feel the breeze of the first mobility suit landing 2520,
or even go back as far as the devastating D day of 2407.
C'mon all are welcome, special suit adaptions for grendari sir,
what about your daughter sir ?
For 50 sub zone 1 credits you can give her the opportunity to experience virtual history in the safety of this lovely cholyglomerate zuco layered predictable and vented bio body suit,
All tested sir, evac free and trans community certified, world order approved.
Guaranteed no lasting effects.
Have each one of your six senses stimulated by 62656B The Greatest World of Memories'.
Over 400 years old this suit helps you step back in time, float in rhyme and feel the sensations of genetically reproduced thoughts and experiences.
All suggested memories used in the programme are neuron safe and any residual flashbacks are sorted with your usual medisweep check up via your local scan station and infusion point.
Are you interested sir, madam what about yourself ?
The Chelsea genetic petals gardens perhaps, smell over l00 variations of extinct flowers on a four minute wind of whirl tour, or run with the last cheetah across the plains of ancient Africa. Hear the roar of long extinct beasts, smell the fear and escape to a world back behind the beyond of yesteryear. We have over 4 bi centi of programmes with more through the netlink 67, basically for the right price we have any virtual experience you could wish for madam, 2295 the first moon landing, Or perhaps be J .K. Rowling as she finishes the last line of Grandpa Potter and the dark ones of the reign of terror.
You see I look poetically at history ,
vending thoughts long dusted,
Rusted into cogs of societal compliance,
Free thinking, Free writing, Word Science.
I am the curator of the ancient art of poetic justice,
But it's just this that made us fear free thought,
Replicating concepts taught to subdue humanity.
Welcome to the future of Poetic insanity.
Richard Grant

It was about electronic cruise control - still not on the K1200R or S, nor on the R1200R. Where it would be very handy - particularly on the Ks.
But if it is finally on the GS, that's a big step in the right direction, IMO.
It did amaze me that after they offered it on the K1200RS, they dropped it when they went to the S. Not even there as an option. They have it on the RT, but never offered it on the R1200ST, nor (until now) the GS. Why not? It can't add much weight.
I suppose in Germany it is not so much help. Nor in Italy, perhaps. There is a revealing interview at the Ash on Bikes website, where the tech chief for the new Multistrada is asked why it doesn't have cruise control. He says it would have been very easy to add, but the marketing department didn't tell them anybody wanted it. Whereupon the marketing manager confirms hardly anyone wants it, as far as he knows. So it is not a legal or technical hitch, it is just that they think they'd be wasting what little time it would take. And what little space in the PR material.
And maybe they would be. I don't know how heavily they police speed in the US. Over here, where they hide unmanned cameras that record your speed and your photo, and send you a licence suspension in the mail, cruise is a safety aid on the major routes. You can take your eyes off the speedo and look at the road.
So if the new GS has cruise, it moves to the top of my next bike list alongside the Multistrada and Stelvio (which don't have cruise). Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and to my eye that would be a beautiful feature.
(Tho not beautiful enough to get me on to a Triumph. We all have our sticking points. )

Same in NZ regards monitoring of speed, even the tourists get "educated". Cruise control is definitely wanted, and even on here, people have commented that the GS or GSA is preferable to the RT for touring.
Cruise control mucho wanted!

At the show now, Press Release:
The new BMW R 1200 GS.
The worlds most successful travel enduro is perfected.
The BMW GS concept has embodied riding pleasure and the desire for adventure for over 30 years. This applies especially to the GS motorcycles with the opposed-twin boxer engine. The big GS allows motorcyclists to explore the most remote corners of the world - an idea that has already inspired numerous globetrotters to set off on their travels.
But the GS was and still is much more than this. Whether sports-style cornering on winding country roads, excellent travel times due to high motorway speeds, relaxed tours with a passenger or daring rides over rough terrain - every GS has offered supreme mastery of these skills in its respective era and this wont change with the new version.
It is the unique integrated concept of the big travel enduro bike with boxer engine, complete with authentic charm and a powerful, high-torque engine, which is loved by legions of motorcycle fans all over the world to this day. It is not for nothing that the big BMW GS with boxer engine has been the undisputed frontrunner in its market segment for many years and is the
best-seller within the BMW Motorrad model range. BMW is now beginning a whole new chapter in GS history: the most popular travel enduro in the world has been brought to perfection.
The challenge: how to improve even more following nine years
at the top.
Even in its ninth year of production, the current BMW R 1200 GS is still setting the benchmark in its segment in comparative tests with its outstanding overall concept and innovative technology. With over 170,000 units sold,
it is the most successful and top-selling travel enduro in the world.
So the challenge facing the BMW Motorrad development department was considerable: to further optimise the GS - an icon of three decades - improve it in all areas and equip it with innovative technical solutions to ensure it is in good shape for the future.
The development goals of the new BMW R 1200 GS:
Further increase performance overall - without neglecting its
well-established virtues.
Perfect its touring suitability.
Increase off-road suitability.
Achieve superior figures within the travel enduro segment and beyond in terms of engine and riding performance.
Ensure preparation for the future in terms of noise and exhaust emissions.
Suspension with top handling, optimum traction and increased off-road performance.
Increase active and passive safety.
Unmistakable BMW Motorrad design in typical GS style.
Top quality as is characteristic of BMW Motorrad.
Newly designed air/water-cooled boxer engine with vertical through-flow, integrated gearbox and left-hand cardan shaft drive.
Geared towards the above goals, the entire R 1200 GS was completely redefined, particularly the drive concept.
The performance aspired to, as well as adherence to future anticipated requirements in terms of noise and exhaust emissions, is ensured among other things by a change in the cooling system. The boxer engine in the new R 1200 GS continues to use air/liquid cooling, however, the coolant oil has been replaced by a glycol-water mixture. This ensures a high level of heat absorption capacity of the cooling liquid for more efficient heat dissipation.
So-called precision cooling (a principle similar to that used in Formula 1) involves only those engine elements being cooled with coolant, which are particularly exposed to thermal stress. The engine still continues to use air cooling, thereby preserving the characteristic appearance of the opposed twin boxer engine. The two radiators are small and inconspicuously integrated.
The through-flow is now vertical instead of horizontal for improved filling, and the engine housing integrates the 6-speed gearbox as well as a wet clutch with anti-hopping function instead of the dry clutch as was used previously. What is more, the secondary drive now runs via the well-established cardan shaft on the left-hand side. With an output of 92 kW (125 bhp) at 7700 rpm and 125 Nm at 6500 rpm, the new engine offers superior power and performance in the travel enduro segment and beyond.
The empty weight (ready for the road) according to DIN of the R 1200 GS is 238 kg including standard BMW Motorrad Integral ABS.
E-gas and cruise control.
An electromotive throttle actuator is now used for the first time in a GS motorcycle. Here, rider commands are passed on directly by the sensor in the accelerator twist grip to the engine control system; this then regulates the throttle valve electronically. The use of the E-gas system provides a significant improvement in terms of controllability and response. What is more, the rider can adapt engine characteristics to the situation on the road by means of five modes (optional extra). It was also possible to include an electronic cruise control function (optional extra).
ASC and riding modes as an optional extra: five freely selectable modes - Rain, Road, Dynamic, Enduro and Enduro Pro.
For optimum adaptation to the riders individual needs and purpose, the new R 1200 GS now offers five freely selectable riding modes for the first time: these are an ex works option and feature three different E-gas settings and with varying engine characteristics. Linked to this is Automatic Stability Control ASC with a special enduro configuration. If this option is chosen, BMW Motorrad ABS, ASC and - if installed - the semiactive suspension are all adapted to the respectiveprofiles of these five modes
Semiactive suspension: BMW Motorrad Dynamic ESA for optimum riding dynamics in every situation as an ex works option.
The new semiactive suspension BMW Motorrad Dynamic ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) taps into a whole new range of possibilities as well as providing maximum riding safety and performance. Dynamic ESA monitors the vertical movement of front and rear wheel control as well as other parameters by means of a spring travel sensor in each position, and adapts the damping automatically to the situation depending on riding conditions and the manoeuvres being carried out. Damping adjustment at front and rear is effected by means of electrically controlled regulation valves.
New chassis with tubular steel bridge frame and specially adapted wheel/tyre dimensions of 120/70 R19 at front and 170/60 R17 at rear as a world first.
The chassis of the R 1200 GS uses a completely newly developed tubular all-steel bridge frame with a bolt-on rear frame. Along with the newly designed Telelever at the front and the EVO Paralever at the rear, this has resulted in a further significant increase in torsional stiffness and hence ride stability and steering precision. Optimised handling qualities are the result of refined master geometric chassis data, and a longer swingarm provides further improved traction - especially when riding over rough terrain.
A globally unique feature of the new R 1200 GS are the tyres in the sizes 120/70 R19 at the front and 170/60 R17 at the rear, specially adapted to improve performance.
Revised brake system with radially mounted Brembo Monobloc brake calipers and BMW Motorrad Integral ABS as standard.
The brake system of the R 1200 GS has been extensively revised, too. There are now radially mounted Brembo Monobloc brake calipers at the front and a larger brake disc at the rear.
In line with the BMW Motorrad principle Safety 360° the new GS is also fitted as standard with the BMW Motorrad ABS, here in the part integral version.
The first motorcycle in the world with LED main headlight including integrated daytime running light for even greater safety when riding during the day and at night as an ex works option.
Even in its standard trim the new R 1200 GS has a main headlight with optimised light efficiency. In order to be seen even better during the day, BMW Motorrad also offers a daytime running light as an ex works option. For excellent road illumination and therefore even greater safety both day and night, an LED main headlight with integrated daytime running light is fitted in a motorcycle for the first time ever. It comprises innovative LED technology with a sophisticated cooling and decondensation concept.
Electrical system with new vehicle power supply and
Multi-Controller for the BMW Motorrad Navigator IV.
The new R 1200 GS has the innovative new vehicle power system with altered function partitioning as already used in the 6-cylinder models
K 1600 GT and GTL. As before, CAN bus (Controller Area Network) and LIN bus technology (Local Interconnect Network) enables significantly reduced wiring as compared to a conventional system. The previous central vehicle electronics has been partitioned into two separate control units.
The Multi-Controller, newly available for the GS, allows fast and convenient operation of the BMW Motorrad Navigator IV. It is located on the inside of the handlebar grip. This means that selecting functions is much less distracting than pressing buttons and does not require hands to be removed from the handlebars.
Aerodynamically optimised windshield with one-hand operation and optimum ergonomics.
The newly developed windshield of the R 1200 GS offers further improved wind and weather protection while also reducing wind noise. Adjustment is simple: an easily accessible and ergonomically optimised selection wheel is operated using one hand.
The new R 1200 GS has extended adjustment options for optimum seating comfort. The riders seat can now be adjusted in height and tilt angle and the passenger seat can be shifted longitudinally to obtain the ideal distance between rider and passenger. The new handlebars can easily be turned upwards and, together with the optimised knee grip in the fuel tank area, they ensure an even better standing position for off-road riding. The improved knee grip can be clearly felt when seated, too. A high and a low seat, as well as an adjustable footrest system and adjustable foot controls, round off the program of special accessories offering individual adjustment facilities.
An overview of highlights of the new BMW R 1200 GS.
Completely newly designed engine for top-level riding dynamics within the travel enduro segment.
Capacity 1170 cc, rated output 92 kW (125 bhp) at 7700 rpm and a maximum torque of 125 Nm at 6500 rpm.

Meh. I'm not really impressed. I have a feeling the actual riding impressions will likely be greater than the numbers suggest, but based on the numbers alone I can't say I'm impressed.
Also, Anakee 3 tires? They don't look like they'd channel water away at all. I wonder if those are real tires or pre-production things not to be used by the public?

I quite like the look of the new GS, but am waiting to see if an R or S model follows next year. Not really too many surprises, though I thought that power output might be up slightly more than it is. No news on fuel economy yet though.
Hell for Leather seem to be obsessing over the 9 kg / 20 lbs gain. Bear in mind that the quoted weight for a GS is in the poverty spec, with no goodies, whereas the new bike comes with ABS as standard, and I think that a fair chunk of it could be accounted for here. The Honda Combined ABS system added 10 kg / 22 lbs to a CBR 600, though I believe newer systems are lighter.
Even so, an old thread says Motorcyclist magazine weighed a GS at 247 kg / 544 lbs. There's a thread at Ash on Bikes that corroborates this figure (242 kg / 533 lbs is mentioned).
Our very own insider, Das Matti, claimed the weight was unchanged. If BMW are being more honest about how heavy the bikes are then that might explain the apparent discrepancy.
Besides, given the frequency that Hell for Leather's contributors seem to have big offs, I doubt that they could ride well enough to notice.

The weight difference is less than 5%. Besides, you don't ride the spec sheet, perhaps whatever weight difference is shifted lower in the bike.
Do the pictures indicate the clutch is serviceable from the front without having to split the bike in half?

Looks dorky but I bet it's a winner for BMW, provided there aren't too many new-model glitches.
It is a step towards the Multistrada/Triumph Explorer concept, with wider rubber, a bit more power and a higher rev ceiling.
Elecronic cruise and full LED lighting will be very handy. The motor will likely be quieter. The on-road handling and braking will be better and the bike will feel more secure in turns. One hundred and twenty five horsepower is more than enough and the torque output now matches the Multi's.
Off the tarmac, we'll see. Can't imagine more weight (if it is more), vulnerable radiators, more grunt or wider rubber will help a lot there. Although there IS 8mm more ground clearance!
Wonder how big the fuel tank is? They are saving that up. And as said, the fuel efficiency.

BEAUMONT - Spring Break begins next week for most students, and while many are thinking about where to go and how much fun they'll have, law enforcement officers are focusing on one thing: making sure students survive the break.
Wednesday at Lamar University state troopers and other law enforcement officers are helping students learn about the dangers of drinking and driving.
The students are getting into a simulator and walking the line to get a better understanding of what can happen if they drink and drive.
The campaign continues until early in the afternoon.
KFDM reporter Leslie Rangel covered the story and took part in the simulation. Watch Live at 5 and KFDM News at 6 for more on the story.

New Sony Ericsson 'improves the Walkman brand'
1 July 2009 — 10:15 AM
Sony Ericsson has boosted its range of Walkman-branded phones with a new model that builds on the company's expertise, one expert claims.
Flora Graham states in a recent article for Cnet that the manufacturer has continued to deliver high quality music-focussed devices and has now done so with a handset that is nothing short of a "masterclass".
She explains the Sony Ericsson W995 also benefits from a great set of headphones and incorporates an 8.1-megapixel camera that is good enough to hold its own against many of its competitors.
Ms Graham also points out that despite having new multimedia mobiles on the horizon - such as the recently announced Satio - the firm continues to impress with this particular line.
"This is a music phone that takes everything great about the Walkman range and makes it even better, thanks to the standard 3.5 mm headphone jack," she concludes.
Sony Ericsson's Satio has yet to be released and is equipped with a 12.1-megapixel camera.

ATLANTA—The deadline for outpatient dialysis clinics is approaching. In order to receive the maximum 10 points for purposes of scoring under the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) end-stage renal disease (ESRD) quality improvement program (QIP) rule the clinics must:
- Complete the required training and enroll the facility in NHSN during or prior to 2012 (5 points) and
- Report at least 3 consecutive months of 2012 data (5 points).
It is important to note that facilities must complete enrollment and be activated in NHSN no later than December 31, 2012 in order to receive credit for the purposes of ESRD QIP scoring and to report any 2012 data. Facilities enrolled by December 31, 2012 have until March 31, 2013 to submit their 2012 data. Facilities that enroll after 2012 will not receive credit during PY2014 for enrollment or reporting.
This deadline is quickly approaching, and for some facilities, it may take several weeks to complete the NHSN training and enrollment process. CDC estimates a total of ~230 facilities that have not yet enrolled in NHSN. To get started, please visit the NHSN links below. For questions, feel free to contact the NHSN Help Desk (firstname.lastname@example.com).
