Florida Atlantic used a barrage of first-half 3-pointers Monday to beat Georgia State 84-77 as part of the World Vision Classic. The Owls (1-2) made their first six 3-point attempts, 11 in the first half and 15 overall. Greg Gantt hit all four of his 3-point attempts in the first half and finished with 17 points overall. A jump shot from Kelvin Penn put Florida Atlantic in front 39-21, its biggest lead, with 4:25 left in the first half, and the Owls led 45-32 at halftime. Georgia State pecked away in the second half and pulled within four, 80-76, when Josh Micheaux hit a free throw with 27.5 seconds left. But free throws by Alex Tucker and Shavar Richardson sealed the game for FAU. The Owls had made 15 3-pointers in their first two games combined. Eric Buckner led the Panthers (0-3) with 24 points. Jihad Ali added 14.

Mandolin Aegean Bistro
Home cooked Turkish & Greek delights in Buena Vista
Mandolin Aegean Bistro
4312 NE 2nd Ave, Miami
The goods: Buena Vista, the quaint neighborhood north of the Design District is fast becoming a draw for locals in search of affordable restaurants serving earnest takes on ethnic cuisine. In addition to Buena Vista Bistro and Lemoni Cafe there is now Mandolin Aegean Bistro, focusing on the rustic village cuisine of the Mediterranean coast. Owners Ahmet Erkaya and Anastasia Koutsioukis draw on their differing backgrounds – he's Turkish, she's Greek – to create a spot that marries the best of the both worlds. Erkaya is an experienced restaurateur, having helmed restaurants in New York including City Eatery on the Bowery and tapas bar Sala in Chelsea. They moved to Miami earlier this year and along with partner Erhan Kostepen quickly set about creating a casually beautiful restaurant where the food is simple and honest.
Ambiance: The team has restored a 1940's house on NE 2nd Ave and transformed it into something you might find while taking a scooter ride through the winding streets of Rhodes. The window frames are painted Athens blue, Greek plates hang on the walls and antique lanterns hang from trees in the candlelit courtyard. This is the place to spend many breezy evenings drinking wine with friends nibbling on dips and grilled seafood.
The grub: Turkish and Greek home cooking. Prices are low with most small plates $6-$10 and mains $12-$19. Dinner starts with fluffy pide bread (similar to pita but bouncier and flavored with sesame seeds) and a dish of fruity Greek olive oil. From there you could order a trio of either Greek or Turkish dips, which depending on which you choose could come with a hearty spread of walnuts and tomatoes, fava beans pureed with parsley or smoky eggplant spread and fish roe dip. Make sure to order the "kopoglu" which Turkish for son of a dog, a hearty bowl of fried eggplant and zucchinni topped with garlic yogurt and tomato sauce. The tender grilled squid is marinated in red wine vinegar and a trio of lamb "kefte" meatballs are spiced with parsley and mint. Turkish "sucuk" sausage (pronounced soo-jook) is a spicy accompaniment to the savory spreads. Salads are big enough for two and come spiked with creamy feta and lemon juice. Mains include a hefty Village Pasta topped with ground meet and cheese and grilled whole fish with a side of "horta," Greek dandelion greens.
There's a modest wine list of affordable Greek and South American wines that compliment the citrus and seafood flavors on the menu. And for now, there's one dessert – a chocolate cake which reminds you of a sweet and comforting pie your grandmother always had chilling in the icebox.
Verdict: A romantic spot in Buena Vista, Mandolin recreates the food and atmosphere of vacation villages on the Mediterranean coast.

Who wouldn't want to have a lunch date with this little lady?
When I was recently sent a gift card (through Daily Food and Panera) to try and review Panera Bread's soup, I was excited to plan a lunch date with Anna and our friends Julie and Sadie.
For lunch, I decided to take the opportunity to try a new soup! I usually get the Black Bean or the Veggie Soup with Pesto, but today was the perfect time to branch out. After being at lunch (at Panera) with my girlfriend Katie a few weeks ago, who had ordered the French Onion soup, I was sold on it.
All of those caramelized onions and perfect bread dipability. Yum!
Lunch was immediately following an interval BOSU class I had taught, and I was starving. The greek salad paired well with the warm and comforting onion soup.
Since going to Panera last week, I have been back for a bowl of French Onion soup! Sometimes it's great to branch out and try something new!

Thanks, Panera!

Light Crude Oil (CL, NYMEX)
Daily Commodity Futures Price Chart: July, 2007
chart courtesy of TFC Commodity Charts
Crude closed at $68.86 (August 2007) today — down 68 cents — and the new futures contract starts tomorrow.
Since I have been ranting today — I remain firmly convinced that:
- Energy is not only a matter of economics, but a matter of National Security;
- Subsidies for Oil and Ethanol need to be replaced with subsidies for Solar;
- CAFE standards need to be raised;
- Expedited processing for Nuclear Power plant permits should be issued
I own a V8 (automatic), a straight 6 (6 speed), and a 4 cylinder (5 speed) — so I am the last person to preach we all need to shift to Vespas and biofuels. But its pretty apparent to even a gas hog like me that we need to do something other than send billions of dollars to terrorist nations each and every single month.

Rocco DeLuca & The Burden have put out the most interesting new rock album I've heard in some time: I Trust You To Kill Me.
Their sound is original — jangly roots-rock romp laced with bluegrass
and countrified leanings.
I agree with the reviewer who wrote that their bluesy debut album "fairly vibrates on DeLuca's Dobro steel guitar and throaty wail."
DeLuca careens from influence to influence, paying homage to his predecessors and then going a step further.
The music is flavored with dollops of Jeff Buckley, Coldplay and
most of all, Bron Y-Aur Stomp Led Zeppelin.
I Trust You To Kill Me is one of those rare discs where there in not a single weak cut on the CD.
The band's Myspace page has four songs to stream.
The band has been opening for the likes of Ben Folds and John Mayer. The next area show I could find is

Yesterday, we learned that the NAHB Housing Market Index, a gauge of home-builder confidence, declined to its lowest reading since the 1991 recession:
Source: NAHB, Wells Fargo
Given the high inventory still around, its no surprise that all three components of index dropped: Single-family Home Sales fell to 29 (from 31); Traffic of Prospective Buyers droped to 21 from 22; Expected Sales for the next Six Months declined to 39 from 41.
The last time the HMI was this low was in the throes of the 1990-91 recession.
Rather than spend much time on this well-covered report, I want to draw your attention to a little followed report on Home Valuation. I stumbled across this extremely informative analysis, filled with great
info-porn maps (below) from Global Insight and National City
It looks at the regions of the country which have had the greatest home price appreciation and, by their measures, are the most overvalued.
First the good news: less homes are overvalued today than in 2005, when the study found
45% of all homes 23% of homes were overvalued by 45%.
Today, 14% of homes for sale are still overvalued — but by only 25%:
The following shows where the overvalued/undervalued homes are located:
That decrease in overvaluation comes as no surprise: The huge overhang of inventory = price decreases (see below).
Thus, many of the over-valued regions are becoming a little less overvalued.
But, depsite the hopes of the bottom-callers, there is still a ways to go.

So have you become the new Loretta Young as you are nudging your mid-40s?
"to push slightly with the elbow," 1670s, perhaps from Scandinavian (cf. Norwegian nugge, nyggje "to jostle, rub;" Icelandic nugga "to rub, massage"). Related: Nudged; nudging.

Bush: Iraq War is "Straining The Psyche of Our Country"
President Bush admitted on Monday the Iraq war is "straining the psyche of our country." But he vowed to stay the course.
- President Bush: Leaving before the job would be done would send a message that America really is no longer engaged, nor cares about the form of governments in the Middle East. Leaving before the job was done would send a signal to our troops that the sacrifices they made were not worth it. Leaving before the job is done would be a disaster, and that's what we're saying.
Monday's press conference was President Bush's first since it was revealed that a record 3,500 people had died in Iraq last month.
Italy Will Lead Force in Lebanon Only If Israel Stops Fighting

Earlier this month Judge Cooke ordered prosecutors to provide more details to make their case against Padilla and two co-defendants. She said the case against Padilla appears "very light on facts."
Protesters Seize 12 Radio Stations In Oaxaca, Mexico
In Mexico a group of striking teachers have seized control of 12 commercial radio stations in the state of Oaxaca. Since June, tens of thousands of teachers have been on strike. They have demanded higher wages and the resignation of the governor of Oaxaca. The stations were seized after gunmen attacked another radio and TV station that has been occupied by the demonstrators for weeks.
- Sergio Beltran of Radio Planton in Oaxaca: "It actually was an almost instantaneous reaction from the people. In the beginning it was a station, the biggest one in the city that was taken and because the owners of the stations turned down the transmitter people began to move to other stations until at about 6:30 in the morning today all the stations were taken by the people. The most important tool that this movement has had in their hands is the radio and TV channels so it was a reaction to keep the people informed of what is happening minute by minute in the whole state but especially in the city of Oaxaca

- Sen. Barack Obama: "One of the things, when I go to Kenya, that I'll be doing is probably getting an Aids test myself; in front of the cameras just to encourage, so that people can see you know there's nothing stigmatizing about getting an Aids test.

Al Jab'a is a small village situated in central West Bank not far from the 1948 Green Line and is home to approximately 800 Palestinians. As the village is surrounded by multiple illegal Israeli settlements in the vicinity of Gush Etzion, the Palestinians of Al Jab'a must contend with an alarming amount of discrimination. This includes the confiscation of their land by the Israeli government, the destruction of their olive trees at the hands of Jewish settlers and more. Indeed, Israel's policies towards the residents of Al Jaba are structured in such a way so as to encourage these Palestinians to give up and leave their homes and the surrounding area.

The Palestinian village of Khirbet Susiya has existed in the South Hebron Hills at least since the 1830s. Its residents have traditionally earned a living from shepherding and growing olive trees. In 1983, the Israeli settlement of Susiya was established near the village, on Palestinian land that had been declared state land by Israel. In 1986, about 25 families were living in Khirbet Susiya, in caves and structures. That year, the Civil Administration declared the village's land an "archeological site"; the land was confiscated "for public purposes" and the Israeli military expelled its residents from their homes. Having no other option, the families relocated to other caves in the area and to flimsy wood frame shelters and tents … Continue reading

It is the early years of the Twenty-First Century. Without the guidance and values long championed by the old guard -- Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman -- a younger generation of super heroes is ravaging the world. But when the Man of Steel returns from self-imposed exile, his very presence could be the catalyst that pushes us all into Armageddon. Seen through the eyes of Norman McCay, an aging minister who embarks on a disturbing odyssey of revelation with an angel known as the Spectre to guide him, "Kingdom Come" is the story of what defines a hero in a world spinning inexorably out of control...of the heroes who adapted to that changing world, and those who couldn't...of personal battles fought with inner demons, and the final war that would determine the fate of our planet.

New (American) Electric Scooter Company
Well, right here in eco-Seattle a new electric scooter company is sprouting up: Fremont Motors. They're unveiling their first concept here in the Emerald City tomorrow. I'd love to attend, but a friend is visiting this weekend and I may not be able to.
It's founded by the owner of Soundspeed Scooters, a local scooter repair shop/electric scooter dealer. (Soundspeed is located in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood, thus the company name). They've been selling electric scooters for a while, including electric conversion vintage Vespas.
Their "About Us" page has this to say:
If I have a chance to get to the release party tomorrow I will do so and report back what I can, but that's pretty unlikely. Orin from Scootin' Old Skool says he'll be there, so check out his site this weekend.
I am VERY excited to see what they've come up with and how feasible it is. I'd ride a stylish, metal-bodied, home-repairable-but-won't-need-it electric scooter made by a company based where I live. Hell yeah!

USA cost and availability unknown . . but in the context of utility, the Oxygen CargoScooter looks like it has potential.
The PumaCycles Roadstar 2000W may also be a good "grocery getter".

Very cool!
I have a question for you folks who are into the electric scoots.
First, I know little about the state of the art in electric vehicles other than I think they are neat and would love to have one. Keep that in mind.
If I understand correctly, the limitation for distance now is the battery capacity, not the motors. Motors are pretty simple and not much more will be done to them. The increase in speed and/or distance will come from better batteries and perhaps lighter weight vehicles. (Please tell me if this is incorrect.)
If the above is basically correct - then, if I were to buy a scooter that can go, say 40 mph for 30 miles before being recharged, can I expect that, as battery technology improves, in a few years I'll be able to buy a new battery and go 40 mph for 50 or 60 or more miles? Hopefully I'm being clear on what I'm asking.
Basically I'm wondering if I were to buy one now, will I always be limited by todays technology or will I be able to "upgrade" something easily to the newest technology. I'd sure love to have an electric scoot and upgrade it every few years for better speed and distance. That will be especially true if the Seattle folks bring out something metal and looking like a Vespa.

I've ridden a Zero Cycle dual sport and street bike. They weren't scooters, but they were still electric. They'll do a decent 65mph will run for 30 or so miles of charge. Acceleration is excellent and the only sound is the tires and the chain. It really was riding at its peak--a man going fast through nature with minimal interference from a machine. The battery is one big box and its easy to see how new technology would mean more or less putting in new batteries into the same space.
If you have cash to spend or live in a state like Colorado with big tax breaks for electrics, the Zero Cycle would serve you well.

If you are looking at buying an e-bike today... Brammo and Zero and the big players today...that I am aware of.
Brammo bikes range on the speed and distance. the battery life is dependent on a lot of factors.
Enertia = 20-40 miles at 30-60 MPH = $7,995 USD
Entertia Plus = 40-80 miles at 30-60 MPH = 8,995
Empulse 6.0 Range 60 miles / 90km @ 100 MPH = 9,995
Empulse 8.0 Range 80 miles / 128km @ 100 MPH = 11,995
Empulse 10.0 Range 100 miles / 160km @ 100 MPH = 13,995
The Empluse is said to accelerate faster than almost every gas bike on the market.
I have no financial interest in any of these companies, I just read alot of forums.

Thanks for info guys! I would love to have one but the prices are still too high for the distance they can go. I'd have to dedicate it to just around town and can't justify that cost.....yet!
On a related note - I've seen bicycles with the motor in the front hub so that must not be a problem. Makes me wonder why, for electric cars, they don't just put a motor in each hub?
If I had stupid money to spend, I'd love to buy a smart car that had a blown engine - take out the motor and make it an electric car. But I don't so I won't!

Thanks, tortoise2! Did not see KING's coverage.
I did not make it to the release, but Orin of Scootin' Old Skool did.
His coverage is HERE, but below are some bullets:
-front and rear wheels are the same size, and easily removable
-hydraulic disk brakes on each wheel with easily swappable pads that require little to no adjustment
-battery under floorboard, easily removed, with wheels like luggage, to bring to your apartment/office for recharge
-removable underseat storage carries like a backpack
-30-35 miles on a charge
-target MSRP $5,000
-limited run in Q3 2012
I think it's a really interesting concept. With the sparse design, it looks like it'd be super light when you removed the battery. Interesting lack of mention of top speed, but since all they had was a non-working design prototype they probably don't have drivetrain details worked out.
Really, an electric scooter should require virtually no maintenance. With an electric drivetrain, very little would fall out of adjustment or require upkeep - besides the batteries, which will simply wear out with time and need replacing. All that leaves is brakes and tires, and it sounds like they did consider ease of replacement in mind. Maybe they'll go for tubed tires with split rims like a Stella/vintage Vespa? Makes for extremely easy tire changes.

if they can bring it to market at $5K and it really will go 45 mph for 30 miles - I think it will be a winner.
The sparse design leave lots of room for folks to customize it and make it there own.
My question - if they only have a non-working prototype, will it every really be produced?

Electrics will always be a "tough sell" compared to gas . . especially when factoring in battery and other electronic component replacement costs. $5,000 would buy several China gas scooters at Pep Boys.

There are already 10's of thousands of electric vehicles around and have been for many years. Electric golf carts, power wheelchairs, and the little scooters that old and disabled folks drive around in. They all make use of standard size deep-cycle rechargeable batteries.
One thing to check on any electric vehicle is to see whether the battery is available off-the-shelf or is some special proprietary design. Unusual batteries available only from limited sources are going to be a problem in the long run since they are going to need replacement every couple of years.
If the source for new batteries dries up your scooter will just be a yard ornament a few years down the line. The typical and traditional deep cycle battery is only good for 300-400 deep recharge cycles before it craps out and will no longer hold a charge.

The bigger issue is going to be power and overheating. If you build a bike with a 5kW motor, that 5kW rating means that it starts to overheat when you put 10kW into it. So while you can replace your batteries with something that has more energy storage capacity (driving range), you don't have much headroom to put more power into the system (top speed, acceleration). Most electric vehicles have a little bit of overhead built into the design, so you might be able to run your 5kW motor at 6kW and never have any overheating, but there's limits to how much that'll work.
Of course, you can replace the 5kW motor with a 10kW motor, upgrade the controller too, use thicker power cables, and the rest of the bike is unchanged. If the scooter uses a hub motor, replacing the motor can be as simple are replacing the rear wheel and connecting the power cables again.
There's also some smaller issues with the Battery Management System (BMS) and possibly things like the bike fuel guage. The BMS should be configured to charge your batteries to a maximum safe voltage, and to keep them from being discharged below a minimum safe voltage. If you change the battery chemistry, you may need to adjust these voltages slightly. And your fuel guage may be calibrated based on you having 5kWh of stored energy in your batteries. If you swap out to a 10kWh battery, it'll read empty when you still have 'half a tank' left. Of course, these items shouldn't be too hard to fix.

Current Motor Company
Btw, since we're on the topic, I should mention that I'm a beta-testing customer for another American electric scooter company:
Current Motor Company
They're located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and the founders used to work in the auto industry. They managed to snag Bob Lutz (father of the Chevy Volt) as an investor and adviser. The bikes do use some Chinese parts to keep the cost reasonable, but they are assembled in Michigan, and the more critical electronic parts are built in-house.
The bike I'm riding has a top speed around 70mph, and a practical range of about 50 miles. Current price for that model is $8k, but you can get $2k off right now as part of a test-pilot program. Oh, and I got 10% off the purchase price via a Federal tax credit, and another 20% off via a State tax credit. There are also cheaper models with smaller battery packs (and thus reduced specs).
The battery is too big to be removable, but a full charge takes about 5 hours on a standard household 110v outlet. The batteries are a standard Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP) chemistry, and should be good for about 2,000 to 3,000 charge cycles.
Depending on how you do the math, I'm getting the equivalent of about 300 MPG. That means about a penny per mile in energy costs. My only regular maintenance should be tires and brakes.
This bike is very well suited for urban/suburban commuting, it's got plenty of speed to keep up with 55mph traffic. I've got a few moderately steep hills here in Atlanta, and they're not giving me problems.
They are past the prototype stage, and are currently selling production bikes.
Disclaimer: I'm a happy customer, and think electric scooters are neat, but have no financial stake in this company.

Case for missing Utah mother, Susan Powell, still 'very active'
Stuart Johnson, Deseret News
ELY, Nevada — Law enforcement officials wrapped up a second day of searching for missing West Valley City mother Susan Cox Powell after surveying remote areas outside of an old mining town. While the search returned no physical evidence, experts say it may have served a broader purpose.
Four West Valley City detectives, along with a couple of representatives from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the White Pine County Sheriff's Office in Nevada, spent less than an hour Saturday wandering what's left of the Ward mine and an old, abandoned warehouse nearby that still contains the remains of years worth of core samples from the mine.
The half-day trip, to the Ward Historic Mining District that is 20 miles south of Ely, was the culmination of a sporadic two-day search of the dusty Nevada foothills, to "follow up on investigative leads" on the case of the missing Utah mother, said West Valley City Sgt. Mike Powell, who pocketed a single, tiny ruby he plucked from outside one of the mines.
"Obviously we were able to successfully accomplish our goals," Sgt. Powell said. "We arrived here to follow up on some information from the investigation that we needed to conduct some searches in several areas, and we've accomplished that goal."
Investigators took photographs and wrote down coordinates of the various areas they searched, but recovered nothing from any location they visited throughout the weekend.
"Anything that gets (the case) back into people's minds and get it out there again," Sgt. Powell said.
The group searched rugged terrain five miles north of Ely most of the day Friday, checking whether various abandoned mine shafts had been disrupted, also recording their geographical locations.
"There is about 12 million acres of open public land in my district alone, which spans only two counties in Nevada," said Chris Hanefeld, public affairs specialist for the BLM's Ely district. He said visitors come during every part of the year, including harsh Nevada winters.
Hanefeld said that the area that officials surveyed on Saturday is quite popular for all-terrain vehicle use. The wide, gravel roadway that led directly to the base of the old mine accommodated not only law enforcement vehicles during the search, but also a variety of cars and trucks belonging to members of the media accompanying officers on the search.
Sgt. Powell, who is of no relation to the missing woman, said the information gathered throughout the informal two-day search will be further analyzed after the officers return to West Valley City and have time to process what they saw.
Police towed two ATVs with them to Ely, along with an RV-type vehicle, where Sgt. Powell said he could "get some work done." He also joked about being able to "get HBO" on two big-screen TVs inside the vehicle, via the attached satellite dish.
As far as the search for Susan Cox Powell, who hasn't been seen since Dec. 6, 2009, Sgt. Powell said it is still "a very active investigation."
"Are there any new leads that were generated from this? At this point, I don't have an answer for that," he said. Sgt. Powell remained tight-lipped about results from a possible search warrant that led them four hours southwest of Salt Lake City, saying that a court order of secrecy had been placed on all warrants obtained during the Susan Cox Powell investigation.
At one point on Friday, however, he said the warrant was served during "the initial part of the investigation" and said the information received was "fairly recent."
Sgt. Powell indicated detectives were looking for something specific in Nevada, but would not say what that was.
"This is the first time we've been here to follow up on information that led us out here," the sergeant said Friday, yet also said officers had earlier taken a "pre-emptive drive" to Ely.
