2015 Dodge Charger R/T — a go-fast that doubles as a traditional sedan
Yee-hah! This car is for the perennial kid in some of us (if not all of us). Yes, it's a basic front-engine, rear-wheel-drive four-door sedan. It's just that its mother of invention was somebody who has spent a fair amount of time at a race track and thinks it's just fine to make a four-door […] [Read More]
New air traffic control tower at San Francisco International Airport — a splendid view, more than 200 feet up.
Everyone should be given a chance, at least once in this lifetime, to go up in the control tower of a major airport. In my case, it was a couple of hours today (May 21, 2015) in the new tower at San Francisco International Airport (SFO), 221 feet high, a soaring edifice with a lightfall […] [Read More]
2015 Lexus NX300h — a luxo compact hybrid SUV
It's the age of the compact SUV. Of course, in the world of cars, a few years ago it was the age of the SUV (big, hulking) or the age of the pickup truck (bigger, really hulking). But it's frequently true that in the culture of cars automotive innovation follows what the car-buying public wants. […] [Read More]

For every car offered in the nation's showrooms, there will be a particular buyer, somebody for whom this car is the one. It's the one that is most attractive, the one that is most practical. Some buyers are nitpickers – they'll pore over test data and reviews and finally make a decision. Other buyers will […] [Read More]
2015 Chevrolet Spark EV — a sparky little ride for the electric set
It's a sparky little car, the Chevrolet Spark, and it's made even sparkier (sorry; couldn't resist) by the fact that this week's test model is the Spark EV, which, of course, stands for Electric Vehicle. Never mind that in addition to the generally uplifting idea that the world can use more alternative-energy vehicles there's also […] [Read More]
2015 Lexus ES350 — a luxury sedan in the middle of a competitive pack

That said, let's see what's in store a few […] [Read More]
Bentley convertible — understated luxe.

Defense attorneys Steven Altman and Philip Nettl argued against admitting the reason for Clementi's room change request - "Roommate with webcam spying on me" -- into evidence, saying it was hearsay that was unreliable. The statement may or may not have authored by Clementi himself, and was not investigated by the university at the time of the request to be true, Altman argued.
The judge ruled that the part of the statement in which Clementi accuses Ravi of spying could not be admitted.
The debate over evidence came midway through the morning testimony of witnesses called by the prosecution, including two students who saw or heard about the webcam incident from Ravi.
Ravi's friend Scott Xu said that Ravi had never expressed any dislike of gay people, but that he did tell Xu he suspected Clementi was gay. Ravi also told Xu and other friends on their ultimate Frisbee team about Clementi's sexual encounter that Ravi had seen on the webcam, Xu testified.
Xu said he never heard Ravi make a disparaging remark about gay people or Clementi's encounter.
"The only thing I heard was that (Clementi's male guest) looked 'shady,'" Xu testified.
When asked if Ravi had ever described any other gay people, Xu said that his friend had met a gay man at Rutgers orientation.
"He did mention one at orientation. He said he liked him because he was rich," Xu said.
Another Rutgers student, Pooja Kolluri, who testified that she saw the images of Clementi kissing another man on a Wei's computer, also said that Ravi had not expressed anti-gay feelings.
"He said he didn't have a problem with (Clementi) being gay," Kolluri testified, noting that Ravi had commented on Clementi's male guest. "(He said) he looked very old."

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) September 29, 2013
Joe Giglio, a kicker for the St. John's College High School football team, has received national attention for his participation in Kicking For The Dream, a project dedicated to fighting ovarian cancer.
Giglio, a high school senior, was recently featured in an article and video in USA Today High School Sports, one of the nation's premiere high school sports websites for his efforts to help fight ovarian cancer.
Go here for the article and video at USA Today High School Sports.
Giglio, who is 17, joined this fight against ovarian cancer by participating in Kicking For The Dream, a project created by Cleveland Brown's kicker Billy Cundiff.
"I have always been a true fan of Billy Cundiff," says Giglio. "When I finally got the chance to meet him in Florida at a camp that he was helping coach, I heard him give a speech about his mother-in-law and ovarian cancer as a whole."
Giglio says watching Cundiff talk about his mother-in-law's battle with cancer was truly inspiring.
"After seeing how passionate Billy was about both kicking and helping women with ovarian cancer, I decided that this horrible illness needed as much attention and help as possible," says Giglio. "Since I'll be kicking field goals anyway this upcoming season, it was an easy decision for me to join this cause."
Cundiff, who started Kicking For The Dream last May, says even though the project has the support of many current and past NFL kickers such as Morten Anderson and Nick Novak, it was only in September that he started to "reach

The Ryder Cup is a long way away but not in the mind of Thomas Bjorn. It's right there in the back.

WASHINGTON — Vowing to revolutionize public education, Democratic presidential front-runner Al Gore unveiled a $115 billion plan on Thursday to provide universal preschool to all 3- and 4-year-olds, financial incentives to reduce class size, higher student standards and more quality teachers for underperforming schools.
"Reforming our schools is an urgent national priority that requires a national strategy," Vice President Gore said as he spelled out his education agenda to students at a high school in Nashville.
Gore offered a broad outline of his education plan in May but did not provide many details until Thursday. The $115 billion he's proposing to spend indicates education is a top campaign priority.
Gore said he would encourage states to require that high school students pass standardized tests for graduation.
Gore has said that all his proposed programs would fall within a balanced budget. The vice president said he would finance his education agenda by using 10 percent of the projected budget surplus that is not already dedicated to Social Security or reducing the national debt. The $115 billion price tag covers a 10-year period.
Gore would direct nearly half of that total -- about $50 billion over 10 years -- to provide voluntary preschool education for all 3- and 4-year-olds. The idea has been a top priority for American educators in recent years, particularly because scientific studies show the vast majority of brain development occurs from birth to age 4.
Gore's proposal on Thursday would also provide federal money to increase the salaries of teachers in impoverished school districts that take aggressive steps to raise teacher standards.
The Republican presidential candidates emphasize local control as a means of achieving the conservative goal of reducing Washington's role in education policy. The GOP candidates all favor the use of vouchers -- basically a taxpayer subsidy of private schools -- to allow parents to move their children out of failing classrooms.

'A Post-Antibiotic Apocalypse' Is On the Horizon
The era of antibiotics is 'coming to a close,' says the August 12th Guardian.
With the once 'miracle medicines' now 'beaten into ineffectiveness by the bacteria they were designed to knock out,' we could be entering a 'post-antibiotic apocalypse' in which pneumonia could again become the 'mass-killer' it once was, especially among the old and frail; in which gonorrhea becomes extremely hard to treat; in which tuberculosis is simply 'incurable.' Need a transplant for a kidney or other organ? You'd best forget it, says the Guardian, as organ recipients' immune systems will be unable to fight off infections without antibiotics. And surgery for a burst appendix will again become 'dangerous.'
And the worst of it is, this 'post-antibiotic apocalypse' could have been avoided. While bacteria have become increasingly resistant to the antibiotics out there, drug companies have not been undertaking the difficult research to develop new ones. Unlikes medicines for conditions like heart disease, people typically take antibiotics for a week; drug companies, therefore, stand to profit much less from them. Too, 'because resistance means the drugs become useless after a while,' the money is simply not in antibiotics.
New Study on the Spread of Multi-Drug Resistant Bacteria
The Guardian article draws on a newly published study in the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases:
Last September, [Professor Tim] Walsh published details of a gene he had discovered, called NDM 1, which passes easily between types of bacteria called enterobacteriaceae such as E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae and makes them resistant to almost all of the powerful, last-line group of antibiotics called carbapenems. Yesterday's paper revealed that NDM 1 is widespread in India and has arrived here as a result of global travel and medical tourism for, among other things, transplants, pregnancy care and cosmetic surgery.
"In many ways, this is it," Walsh tells [Guardian reporter Sarah Boseley]. "This is potentially the end. There are no antibiotics in the pipeline that have activity against NDM 1-producing enterobacteriaceae. We have a bleak window of maybe 10 years, where we are going to have to use the antibiotics we have very wisely, but also grapple with the reality that we have nothing to treat these infections with."
It could be said that, like vaccines, antibiotics have become the victims of their own success. Just as—thanks to vaccines—many of us no longer get measles or other infectious diseases (whooping cough, for one), so have we ceased to see pneumonia as fatal, much less tuberculosis.
Remember MRSA?
The Guardian mentions the MRSA scare of ten years ago when patients in hospitals were 'picking up Staphylococcus aureus infections that were resistant to the hitherto powerful antibiotic methicillin.' Hospital hygiene was vastly stepped up and pharmaceutical companies have put more resources into developing new antibiotics to fight against MRSA and also C. diff (Clostridium difficile). But these are ultimately just stop-gap measures because
Bacteria are great survivors. The biggest threat now, experts believe, is from multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, such as NDM 1-producing enterobacteriaceae and an enzyme called KPC which has spread in the US (and in Israel and Greece) which also gives bacteria resistance to the carbapenems, the most powerful group of antibiotics we (once) had.
In other words, without the development soon of new antibiotics, 'superbug[s]' like MRSA could again spread and cause 'front-page panic.'
Who Hasn't Taken Amoxicillin?
As a parent, it used to be a routine thing for me to show up yet again at the pharmacy to get prescriptions filled (and refilled) for antibiotics when my son Charlie had ear infections (when he was a toddler) and other illnesses. As he's minimally verbal and really can't tell us when he has a physical pain, where it is, or any of that, whenever Charlie'ss had an infection, his pediatrician has tended to give him an antibiotic 'just to be sure' that whatever Charlie has gets done away with.
I'll never forget the smell of amoxicillin, half a bottle of which I spilled on the carpet of our (rental) apartment when I was trying to get toddler Charlie to take his dose (this was in the time when he kept getting ear infections). When Charlie was much younger, we even had some worries about antibiotic overuse and how antibiotics affected Charlie's gastrointestinal system.
But the truth of the matter is, especially as the parent of a child with disabilities which include severe speech and communication difficulties and a lot of other 'issues,' I'm very glad for medicines that—so far—have been able to keep my son (and let's face it, the rest of us), healthy.
And if diseases like pneumonia and tuberculosis become impossible to treat, the prognosis for the future health of us all will look very different, indeed.

Not mentioned in this article is the fact that American livestock is fed TONS of antibiotics every year as a means of maintaining a sort of health under factory farming conditions. The end result, however, has been that every cow, pig, chicken, sheep, etc. in the United States is serving as a potential incubator for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. AND we're getting a dose of antibiotics every time we eat meat.
This practice has been stopped in other parts of the world. It's high time the United States did the same.
I meant to say Binadrill. Something like that.
I think their are good antibiotics out there. But too I think the government want let it be known since the government likes thinning the population down making us suffer. And again with all the chemicals in food and everything it's not a wonder that antibiotics don't work right. It's like a counter reaction of nutralizing it. Benidill, for sinus will nutralize anything to where any medication doesn't work.
It's going to make it hard when you need to have an operation and then get an infection. I suppose any operation or badly infected cut could mean a death sentence sometime in the future?!!
As a society, we sniff and we're off the doctor to get a presciption. I'm not surprised that these "bugs" have developed an immunity to the drugs we hurl at them on a regular basis.
Unfortunately, like just about every other problem, we did this to ourselves.
thanks for post
Hippocrate said let food be your medecine. I wonder when doctors started to forget about that one. While eating healthy, we are healthy, and have no such need as antibiotics.
I am 62 years of age, have been physically active all my life, and I don't take antibiotics or flu shots. I don't get sick. I drink filtered water, use toothpaste clear of chemicals, eat organic whenever I can, and use natural remedies (fish oils, baking soda, vinegar, honey, coconut oil, and yes also silver hydrosol--10 parts per million). I do eat meat, but in balance. We take care of our dogs using the same philosophy. They look great. What is the problem? Ignorance of people who have been brain washed by the drug and American Agriculture industries. Go back to basics, get off your butts and put down the remote, and take charge of your lives. Excuses--I don't want to hear it.
Good article, thanks so much..
Great, informational article... I am so glad more + more people are waking up to natural medicine + seeing that we have been doused in antibiotics unnecessarily. I was given antibiotics often as a child for ear + sinus infections. I often wonder how much of it was really necessary, + think of how many others were overmedicated...

Dealerships in Vegas?
I'll be in Vegas for a couple days, and I thought I'd check out some local motorcycle dealerships.
I'd rather spend my hard earned $ on some new gear/toys than leave it at the tables.
I was surprised to find that neither Triumph nor Ducati have dealerships in the area. Are there any local dealerships worth checking out? I know there is/was a big Harley place right on the strip. I am not interested in chaps or bandanas, so please don't point me there.
Check again. New Triumph dealer on Decatur. BMW - Husquvarna mjust west of there off of 215, and Carter Powersports is the new KTM dealer.
they have almost everything u need-no triumph's or ducati's but there are dealerships near by!
berts mega mall, in west covina........... from LA, 210 east, exit azusa, south, and theyr're on the right. then its just a short hop back to the 210, and off to lost wages you go.
ducati, ktm, triumph, honda, kawasaki, suzuki, yamaha, chinese crap, polaris, can am,
other than bmw or harley, they have most the bases covered, as much as i dont like super huge dealers, they have the ability to deal, tons of inventory, and i dont feel bad about gettin the price down
i bought my bonneville from there. (they have more "high risk" banks that lend to doods like me)
The Triumph/Vespa dealer is brand new, a month or so I think. It's at Decatur where it crosses the 215, just SW of the strip. I haven't been in there yet, but drive by every day going to work.
I thought I'd heard that Sportsman Cycle (KTM) was still in business? Didn't know Carter Powersports had picked up KTM...
Triumph in Vegas
Freedom Cycle
5031 Wagon Trail Ave.
Las Vegas, NV
Its owned by the Yuill brothers they have had the Triumph store in Reno for several years, top notch outfit.
For Chapparal stay on the 210 east, go past the 15 and in a few miles take 215 south, not too far out of the way and worth the trouble.
maybe you don't like Harley, but Red Rock Harley in LV is really worth a visit just to see the bike collection, not just Harley.

Video: ESPN's great new Michael Jordan ad (without MJ)

There are more than 3,000 people in the United States named Michael Jordan. You have to bet this happens to them a lot.
Fantastic ad from ESPN.

Dear Kurt: With respect to MJ vs. Kobe–and I agree with everything you say–but isn't it kind of 'objectively' true that Kobe has a pretty great 3-point shot that MJ never had?
- williegault - Apr 16, 2012 at 2:19 PM
33.6% vs. 32.7% career 3PT shooting. Neither of them is "pretty great".
Kobe grew up with it, Jordan did not.
Why do people continue to bring up this topic? Yes, Kobe is the best since Jordan. That's where it ends.

Nothing to do with this article so why are you taking your time to discuss THAT? Kobe is great and probably closest thing to MJ we will see for awhile. Regardless he will never be 'the greatest basketball player' ever. Few people would be foolish enough to really believe that he is. Also since this is what were doing let's talk about the defense. MJ was a much better defender on ball and could get in passing lanes just as well. All Kobe does is roam and get steals because of it. Sure he is on all nba def. team but not because he locks other people up all game. It's because he gets steals and occasionally guards the other teams best player for a few minutes which can give the illusion to an average fan that he is a beast defensively. With that logic why not put Iverson on the all def. team one year? haha I mean shoot he was top 5 in steals for years. Kobe is a career 33.3% 3pshooter while Jordan sits at 32.7%. Is that a huge difference?

Angry impatient Americans are impatiently angered. They're going to vote out those devils in Washington and vote in… some other devils.
Welcome to Election 2010.
The Republicans are hoping that history will repeat itself and a political sea change will sweep them into control of Congress, just as Election 1994 swept in the Newt Gingrich era to mess up Bill Clinton's presidency after just two years.
There are differences, of course, between these elections. Clinton, a moderate Democrat, represented mostly a political party change after two Republican administrations (including the very popular Ronald Reagan and George Bush the elder), as well as a generational change.
Obama, a liberal Democrat, represents sweeping policy and philosophical changes after a very conservative and very unpopular president, George W. Bush.
But as Clinton stressed from the start, "It's the economy, stupid," and voters tend to throw out the party in power if the economy isn't doing well. And unfortunately for the Democrats, the economy is doing very, very badly.
The Newt Gingrich Republicans had their act together. They were organized and unified, and came out with their playbook, the "Contract With America," that they could rally around. In came a new era of deregulation, Wall Street whooping-it-up, tax cuts for the wealthy and a vicious scorched-earth style of politics. This was a political style in which the dominant party felt free to crush the minority party without regard for Congressional traditions and the fact that the other party will eventually resume control.
The 2010 Republicans are trying to recycle their winning 1994 strategy, this time calling it their "Pledge To America." And Obama is certainly vulnerable, especially with unemployment stubbornly high and not likely to drop for a year… or two.
But Americans are angry, or so it's been reported. Moreover, they're impatient. Obama hasn't fixed the economy. Never mind that he inherited a mess from Dubya and the Republicans, spurred on by deregulation and greed in the mortgage industry, on Wall Street, at Halliburton, Enron and the offices of many a corporate chief executive officer. Never mind that his government bailouts "" started by Bush "" have been widely credited with having kept the economy from being vastly worse than it is. Never mind that he pushed hard to enact health care reform for which Americans had been clamoring for decades… the Republicans think that destroying that reform is a winning ticket.
Actually, the Grand Old Party's strategy seems mostly to revert back to how things were under the previous administration, which was soundly repudiated in November 2008. But they've ensured that Obama hasn't been able to accomplish much, using their party solidarity to oppose him at every turn and do their best to ensure the Democrats can't take credit for anything.
The Dems do control both houses of Congress, but by such a thin, insecure margin that Republicans can thwart them on nearly every move (unless the moderate senators from Maine break ranks), then "" and here's the best part "" they can complain how the party in power is unable to do anything.
The G.O.P. has gotten in bed with the angriest Americans, those of the Tea Party persuasion, and have already been kicked in the head several times. The Tea Partiers don't like incumbents, and some of those incumbents are… Republicans.
There's a sexual saying some men swear by, "Never sleep with a woman who's more messed up than you," and that somewhat describes the G.O.P.-Tea Party hook-up. And the Tea Party has hooked up with more than a few out-and-out racists, "birthers" and those convinced Obama is a Muslim. Newt Gingrich himself has sneered at the "Kenyan" attributes of the president.
There's another sexual saying (spurred on by AIDS and herpes), that when you sleep with somebody you are, in essence, sleeping with everyone they've ever slept with. Keep that in mind, Newt.
And America will wake up, groggy, on November 3rd, see the empty bottles on the floor and wonder who that person is in bed with them.
Let's hope that America didn't get too hammered and paid a little attention to whom they wanted to bring home.

Igniter switch stopped working
By BB100
from Humble, TX
Comments about GE Profile 30" Downdraft:
This cooktop came with my new home and has worked except for the igniter switch which had a problem from about 6 months. I've been using it with a workaround since then by turning on one of the remaining working igniter switches/gas valves concurrently with the nonworking igniter/gas valve causing the spark to jump on all igniters thus lighting the burner that I need. Difficult and expensive to repair. Should have had it repaired when under warranty but couldn't at the time.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This 4 burner cooktop is just what I needed! The downdraft was carefully installed and works great! Looks great in my newly remodeled kitchen!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Good performance
By ConstanceB
from Syracuse, NY, United States
The product is performing as expected. Primary concern is that the appliance requires a lot of cleaning to maintain its appearance. It is necessary to use the Cerama Brite provided to achieve the desire cleaning result. Recommend with cleaning caveat.
Great Features!
By blittle
from Brandywine, MD, United States
Purchased this cooktop with my new home and love it. I have only used it for 2 months but so far it has exceeded my expectations and very easy to use. I would have preferred to have the right front burner to be a high heat cooker instead of warmer - maybe I need it adjusted. Other than that - I love it.

By VeroLady

My son's cooktop is all stainless steel, and it is so hard to clean w/o scratching it. Mine only has a border of SS and the rest is easy-to-clean black.

the design is just amazing , it is easy to clean and it functions the way we expect. it matched our countertop perfectly.
Hard to keep clean
By MHB2
from Maryland, United States
Works great, but it's difficult to keep the surface clean. Seems no matter what I use it leaves greasy streaks on the surface.
Great cook top
By Rodman

Wonderful item but the glass top cracked but otherwise it is great!
Happy with gas vs electric
By Shotzi

He has received the first ever transplant of hand in the UK and following the same, he was seen extremely glee. 51-year-old Mark Cahill has undergone the eight-hour long operation so as to get his severe gout treated.
December 27, the surgery was carried out at Leeds General Infirmary, the report finds. However, the op was largely criticized by a renowned surgeon of the nation for he believed that the patient would at the end of his arm get a dead hand.
The surgeon affirmed that transplanted hands were often limited and caused much inconvenience later, though nerves were joined up carefully. But, the challenging surgery has turned out to provide Mr. Cahill with slight movement in his right hand, which had stopped functioning due to gout.
Doctors in Leeds affirm that the treatment given involved a new technique, which involved removal of his non-functioning right hand, thereby transplanting the donor hand. Surgeons further say that the procedure, probably the first one, has provided accurate restoration of nerve structures.
"This operation is the culmination of a great deal of planning and preparation over the last two years by a team including plastic surgery, surgery, immunology and many other disciplines", Professor Simon Kay, Consultant plastic surgeon, was quoted as affirming.

debian sid kernel 2.6 ERROR: The kernel header file
Hi all,
I have just install debian sid from 0 and compile the new stable kernel 2.6.
Using the latest nvidia-installer I got this message:
thanks in advance...
the installer does not support kernel 2.6.0. go to www.minion.de and get the patch.
thanks a lot r3pek
I did what the README in minion.de told me, but I got this problem:
What do you think?
Thanks again..
P.S.: Sorry for my English, but it is not my mother language
The error with this line QM_MODULES
tells me that you need module-init-tools installed for your system. 2.6 kernel no longer uses modutils, instead it uses module-init-tools.
I use Arch linux wich already implements this new change so for me it was easy, you may need to find the src code and do it on your own for debian, but am not for sure. GL

Just getting to a bowl game no longer matters to Northwestern. The 21st-ranked Wildcats want to win one and end a decades-long losing streak. Northwestern (9-3) hasn't won a bowl since it beat California in the 1949 Rose Bowl. The Wildcats have dropped nine in a row since, matching the longest streak in NCAA history. They get a chance to stop that skid when they face Mississippi State (8-4) in the Gator Bowl on Tuesday. ''It's the next step in where we want to go as a program,'' Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said. ''The consistent success we've had in the program of being in the postseason for five successive seasons is something we're proud of. Winning a bowl game is the next step.'' Northwestern has come close the last four years, losing 30-23 in overtime against Missouri in the 2008 Alamo Bowl, falling 38-35 to Auburn in overtime in the 2010 Outback Bowl, dropping a 45-38 decision to Texas Tech in the 2011 Ticket City Bowl and then losing 33-22 to Texas A&M in last s...

I have a system application, that runs as a collection on 12 processes on unix. There is a monitor process , which exchanges data from with 11 other processes.
The IPC requirement is to make these 11 processes communicate with the monitor process, designed in a way that is most efficient in terms of execution. Can you guys weigh the below two options, or suggest a better one.
1) have a UDP socket communication, where these 11 processes will push data to the monitor process at periodic intervals. the monitor process is just listening and capturing info which is good enough.
2) have a shared memory implementation. so there are 11 shared memory segments, where each is shared between 2 processes ( process ith and monitor process).
For shared memory, it seems faster but there is a locking/sync required, where as in udp the kernel copies the data from memory space of one process to the other.
Can anyone provide more inputs to help better evaluate the two methods. ? Thanks.

text: one good aspect of teleconvertors (hope I've got this right as I own one but never use it as such, only as a extension tube cause it's guts unscrew and can be removed!) is, you maintain the minimum focusing distance of the prime lens, thus effectively increasing the magnification ratio obtainable. Something like that

Crossing the street
It can be very difficult to cross a street in Aleppo. I had been i Lebanon before coming to Aleppo the first time and there cars slowed down if a person had started to cross the street. I soon found out that this was not the case in Syria. The cars don't slow down even though someone has started to cross a street. Be prepared to run!
How's your Arabic?
It can be difficult making yourself understood in a taxi - get that pronunciation wrong and the driver is very likely to have no idea of what you asking for or where you want to go.
Two things you can do - ask at your hotel for a card with their address, most places will have one or they will write it down for you and similarly, when you are heading out from your hotel, as well as asking them to write the address of the place you are going, ask how the words are pronounced. It really is important to get those sounds right - say "Sissi "Street and you won't be understood, but say "Zeezee" and you should have no problem.
Simple really, but when it's late at night and three taxidrivers in a row have have looked at you in total puzzlement, you'll wish you had that little bit of paper with you.

Watch your Clothes!!!
If you are a girl or a woman and you are visiting the old City parts or central or public places, please don't forget to ware long jeans and light but covering shirts even if it's summer time and it's too hot….
As people there will look at you rudely and you'll feel yourself as if you're from another planet…and you don't need that!!!
But there's no problem to ware whatever you want when you're going with your boyfriend or Husband...
But you can't avoid the rude looks in that case neither.
In the modern City part you can make yourself at home , and ware anything you wish.
A very safe city
Aleppo is a very safe city and there are no dangers to walk around anywhere at any time.
I met many solo female travellers and none of them reported any special hassle as well.
Syrian people are always well educated and very kind with the foreigners.
Well, No Danger...
Well, no danger whatsoever but the communication could be a problem sometimes.
Not everybody could speak English & it pays to learn a few basic Arabic words.
When you ask for a place, please let a pen & a paper handy; Ask the locals to write them down in Arabic so that you can show what's written on that piece of paper instead of saying the wrong pronunciations !

beware of Mohammed Ali in Aleppo
There's a man in Aleppo runs trips,hires cars and I've recieved many complaints about his bad dealings with people.He's mean and cheater and I'll advice everybody not to deal with that man .here are his details:
His bad sevice includes charging extra money than the agreement,bringing 11 seats minivan while you spoke about 14 seats,fake rates on exchanging...so don't be another victim of this man.I don't like the idea of mentioning names but this time I find my self forced to do accodring to the number of complaints about that man.
acid attack against 12 year old child
We visited Aleppo, we have spent 20 years in the Middle East and speak fluent Arabic and respect the 'culture'
Our 12 year old daughter was attacked with acid as we walked in the souq. The acid burnt her clothes and her skin. The attack took place near the Hotel Halabi
We asked for help, for the police and medical assistance - no one would help us.
It was a devastating thing to happen
never again
be warned
Our daugher was dressed modestly and walking with her father while I was a few steps behind.
An innocent 12 year old chid with her father and mother and they threw acid at her.
NO danger, NO fear... You can go out any time at night, the taxis are available. The streets are clean, and the most important thing that people will help you and lead you to any place; they are so friendly! So pack your bags now and visit the safest and the most fascinating city in the world (MEET ESSALAMEH!!!).
When Buying...
This happens too often to me when walking around in The Souqs !
Even if you want to just look, the shopkeepers will ask you to buy the things that you look at !
Make sure to say, "La !"...As usual when visiting The Middle East anyway.
Some shopkeepers took the things that I was looking at, put them in a plastic bag & tossed it me & said the price !
We would feel guilty if we don't buy it, maybe that's what they thought ?
They will start saying that they didn't have any business for that day or the children hadn't eaten anything for the day etc etc.
Yes, of course I felt sorry for them, of course I would love to help but money was as tight for me !
Would they thought of that ?

My experience...
Don't talk anything religious or politic with anybody in Aleppo !
If they ask about your country, maybe you should lie about it ?
I had a good laugh when I met a German girl who was studying Arabic language in Jordan & she had travelled around The Middle East extensively.
She had a piercing just under her lips; I asked her whether the people around The Middle East asked her some questions about it.
She said, "Yes, of course !"
I asked her what was her reply ?
She said, "Oh ! Everybody in my country has a piercing under their lips !"
We had a good laugh !

Bargaining,haggle down
Be aware that haggling down the price of any thing you buy,The seller,vendor mostly raise the price to double or something because the vendor knows very well the buyer will try to haggle it down. It is part of the culture,cloth,taking a taxi,souveniurs,even the hotel price...etc from 20% to 50%.Do your best ;)
Wasta is a word often heard in Syria. It is Arabic and translates as something like authority, influence, political (or other) power, connections, or a combination of those terms. In practical terms it means that some rules can become more flexible if you have wasta, or know someone who has wasta. Also, a bit of wasta can smooth or speed up business transactions, bureaucratic issues, and other official procedures. At its best (or worst, depending on your point of view), a good dose of wasta could keep you out of jail or save you from other unpleasant consequences of dubious activities.
The common English expression "it's not what you know but who you know ... " is a rough equivalent of wasta.
On the wasta scale (not that there is an official one), things that can make a difference in the Syria are your nationality, your profession, who you work for, who you know, your political position in the country, your connections to people in positions of authority. Money and how long you have lived in the Syria don't usually directly affect your wasta level but indirectly they do since longer term residents may have built up a larger network of high-wasta friends, and rich people often associate with other rich people who may be high-wasta individuals.
Many expat residents learn about wasta through a driving experience. In simple terms, the more wasta someone has, the less likely they are to cop a fine and/or be blamed if there's an accident. Wasta can result in some unusual situations for example, green lights were actually red when you went through them because the person who crashed into you had enough wasta to change the color retroactively. Indications of higher levels of wasta on the road are dark tinted or mirror tinted windows (30% maximum is the law so anything more than that means it's likely they have enough wasta to get around this rule), number plates with fewer than 5 digits (but anyone can buy them now if they have enough cash so it's not as good an indication as in the past).
Wasta is something that many expats, especially westerners, find difficult to come to terms with but you'll find it easier to enjoy Dubai if you get used to that rather than try to fight it. And of course it helps if you can elevate your own wasta level somehow.
Wasta and Bribes
Don't confuse wasta with bribery. If you try to bribe a government official, for example a police officer who has just pulled you up for driving though somebody's garden, you should expect to be punished fairly harshly for trying to bribe them. And if the owner of the garden that you drove through has some wasta, then you'll probably be even worse off. In the business world, things may operate a little differently. Just as anywhere else in the world, the negotiation of business transactions and contracts is not always done on a level playing field, and bribes ... er gifts ... might be part of your discussions with interested parties.
Wasta also means to pull some strings. is widespread in Syria and bribery as well under Syrian baath party.
Is it acceptable to drink alcohol? What about drug
Is it acceptable to drink alcohol? What about drug use?
Drug use is strictly prohibited in Syria, and carries very stiff penalties for usage or possession, and no distinction is made between "hard" or "soft" drugs". If you're carrying pot, weed, hash or marijuana for medical use or otherwise, do not attempt to enter Syria.
Drinking Alcohol in public is unacceptable and not recommended (and sometimes illegal) except in tourist resorts like Lattakia. In all other cities, you can drink alcohol at the resturants or bars that serve it, as well as in private in your hotel room. You may bring alcohol with you to Syria, but maybe required to pay duty tax.
Syria is not like Dubai you find alcohol ONLY in bars of hotels.
in Syria you can purchase alcohol easily from liquor shops and bars as well.
Bottle of Beer is is aboit half US dollars in shops,while 2 US dollars in bars..
Driver horns,Trafiic and busy at night
Aleppo is normal to hear car and taxi drivers use the car horn to push the other drivers in front to move further,even there is no traffic so my tip is to make sure you have earcotton if your hotel is near high road to be able to asleep the drivers use horn24/7 they do not care if people are sleep at night.

HBO orders Aaron Sorkin drama about cable news
HBO has ordered Aaron Sorkin's untitled drama series about cable news to series, premiere date TBD.
The project features an impressive cast, including Jeff Daniels as the anchor, Emily Mortimer as his new producer, Alison Pill, Olivia Munn and Dev Patel as newsroom staffers and Sam Waterston as the wise boss. (Looking at this from a distance, the Sorkin shorthand seems as follows: Daniels is Casey, Mortimer is Dana, Pill and/or Munn is Natalie, Patel Jeremy, and Waterston a hybrid of Isaac and Leo.)
When it became clear that Aaron Sorkin's "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" wasn't working - in part, but not entirely, because the show-within-the-show never seemed nearly as funny as the characters insisted it was - a sentiment arose that viewers wish he had just taken the "Sports Night" approach to life at a cable news channel, rather than sketch comedy. Now he is, and with the backing of HBO plus the authority that comes with winning an Oscar for writing "The Social Network."

Hybrid-electric vehicles are expected to explode in popularity over the next decade thanks to their gasoline-saving abilities. But Korea's Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) thinks that battery-powered cars aren't the answer to our energy crisis. Instead, KAIST has developed a new kind of electric vehicle that forgoes batteries entirely and instead relies on power from cables buried beneath the road.

This technology is very impressive. I wonder whether it could be implemented economically in a New Development Area, whereby the cars used within this area can enjoy the recharging facility.
Let me introduce myself. I'm developing an area of approx. 2500 acres in Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia in a Hi-Tech Park. Please refer to my website: http://www.kuhtp.com for further details of my development.
This is green technology, whereby our country is giving a lot incentives for us to implement it. May have some further thoughts from your expert's opinion as to how I could implement this during the infrastructure stage of the road construction over the 2500 acres and having a lucrative business in the continual manufacturing of cars in our South East Asia Region.

This…is a horrible idea. Even if there's not a full charge being radiated into the strip at all times, even in a trickle mode huge amounts of energy will be lost over time. This is not the future of the electric car business, this is failure

R programming for educators at Lawrence MST
Posted on: 2014-01-02 00:17:05 by kavitha chandra
      The Vibes and Waves in Action GK-12 program started a workshop on R programming for high school teachers this week. Gk-12 fellows Cory Miniter and Jenny Au worked with the teachers from Math, Science and Technology. ĀThis was workshop session one designed to give the teachers an overview of some unique capabilities of programming in R. ĀThe application of mathematical and logical operations on lists or vectors without the need for creating loops was one of the programming elements we focussed on. We expect to follow up with another session soon after they turn in their assigned coding home work.

Lesson 3: Sound
Posted on: 2014-12-01 17:51:41 by jennyau
      This past week, I've been able to introduce the concept of sound to students in Mr. Vera's Geometry class. We started the class off with a DO NOW where they graphed five data points and labeled their graph on the x-axis and y-axis. Most of the students were out of practice, so this was a good refresher. This DO NOW exercise was important because during my lesson, the students had to take live data and plot on a graph and analyze it. After the DO NOW, I asked the class what they know about sound. Then I asked them how does sound travel. The power point had a good visual moving figure of air particles moving from an oscillating drum. I ex...
