Cadillac's CT6 plug-in hybrid. Access to GM's hybrid technologies would perhaps solve Fiat Chrysler's largest product development problem. (GM)
The (technology) pluses and minuses of a GM-FCA dealPosted 11:15 am U.S. ET, June 30
Technology -- or the expensive lack of it -- is, I believe, at the heart of all this merger talk coming from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
Except for the battery-powered Fiat 500e, available in just two states, and the stop-start system offered in certain versions of the Ram 1500 pickup, FCA's electrification efforts are years behind most competitors'.
The company has no hybrid cars on the road today.
And, looking further out, FCA has no viable fuel cell program. Hyundai is already leasing a fuel cell vehicle in California.
FCA is facing an engineering bill in the billions of dollars to catch up to where many of its com ...

Why Toyota can set the car-tech agendaPosted 1:28 pm U.S. ET, June 29
Alix Partners, the turnaround firm, last week assessed the ability of automakers to pay for the cool but expensive technology about to flood into vehicles.
You know, stuff like autonomous driving, connectivity, rearview video screens, lightweight materials and electrified powertrains.
One chart was particularly noteworthy. It ranked automakers by their EBITDA margins and market caps -- in other words, how much they make and how much they're worth.
Perhaps to no one's surprise, Toyota was by far the best-positioned. Predictable as that may be, it's a ...

Removing the fear when passing a big rigPosted 11:45 am U.S. ET, June 23
Overtaking a large truck on a two-lane road is easily one of the most harrowing maneuvers drivers face, especially if they are accustomed to roads where passing isn't allowed.
Samsung has created a system that could take the guesswork out of passing large trucks that one cannot see around.
The company's prototype Safety Truck features a large screen on the rear door that is connected wirelessly to a camera at the front, essentially allowing the drivers behind the truck to see through it. Think of it as a 21st century update to that bubble on the rear window that some light buses feature that allows one to ...

'Multiphysics': Engineering's new frontierPosted 11:30 am U.S. ET, June 23
Okay, so now it is rocket science.
I spent two days recently with the engineers and software developers who write and use the simulation programs that virtually all automakers use in product development.
The creation process that was once fairly simple -- design blueprints to prototypes to testing to validation to production -- now is often extremely complex, involving engineers from several disciplines who must think in areas outside of their training.
Today's engineers -- and especially future automotive engineers -- better be good at what is known deep inside ...

The dark side of electronicsPosted 11:30 am U.S. ET, June 16
A rebuilt engine control module introduced several new problems when the 1988 Fiero's engine was fired up. (RICHARD TRUETT)
There's no doubt that advanced electronics have transformed every aspect of today's cars. They are cleaner, faster, more efficient, safer, more connected and more capable than ever.
Well, here's the downside: As cars and light trucks get older, they could be more difficult and expensive to repair -- especially as high-quality electronic replacement parts become difficult to obtain.
This makes sense in light of other types of older consumer goods that heavily rely on electronics. Try getting a computer or television from the 1990s fixed anywhere easily. Chances are, the technology is long ...

Lifting the curtain on the Jeep Grand WagoneerPosted 11:30 am U.S. ET, June 9
The smart money says the new Grand Wagoneer will sport a modern take on the '70s-style Jeep Cherokee. Several recent Jeep concept vehicles, such as the 2015 Chief, pictured, have featured the old-school Cherokee design.
Fiat Chrysler is inviting thousands of its dealers and their top managers to Las Vegas in August for a very special peep show.
For dealers, it promises to be special because the star of the show won't be a "who" but a "what": the resurrected Jeep Grand Wagoneer.
According to dealers on the invite list, Jeep's three-row luxury SUV will make its behind-the-scenes debut during FCA's dealer announcement meeting on August 25.
But when it debuts, the Grand Wagoneer will follow in the tracks of the now successful Chrysler 200 sedan. ...

The steep road ahead for Alfa in U.S.Posted 11:15 am U.S. ET, June 2
Alfa's product plans through 2018 show the lineup growing to include six additional vehicles, including two utility vehicles. The 4C Spider, pictured, was introduced in Detroit in January. (BLOOMBERG)
A 44-year-old Alfa Romeo Montreal sports coupe that sold new for $6,000 brought $176,000 at a classic car auction in Arizona. Some older Alfas are commanding auction prices more than 10 times higher than just five years ago.
There is no doubt that Alfa Romeo fans -- the Alfisti -- are passionate. But there is enough doubt that there are enough of them to bring the brand back to life after a 20-year absence in the U.S.
Looking at Alfa Romeo's history in the United States, you'd probably conclude the brand's chances are slim of reaching Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' annual target of 150 ...

VW preps gesture controls for GolfPosted 11:00 am U.S. ET, June 2
Touch screens are soooo 20th century.
The updated Volkswagen Golf, due in 2016, will add gesture controls to its "Star Trek"-style touch screens, AutoExpress reports.
VW presented the new in-car technology in the Golf R Touch concept last week at CES Asia in Shanghai. It previews the production version of interior tech that the face-lifted Golf will receive when it goes on sale in late 2016.
The driver and passengers will be able to use new gesture motions to change the climate control settings in the car, raise or lower the volume of the sound ...

Saab turbo engines to power Chinese Jeep Wrangler clonePosted 11:00 am U.S. ET, June 2
As Korean automaker Ssangyong considers a Jeep Wrangler rival as a launching point for gaining a foothold in the U.S., Chinese automaker BAIC already has a Wrangler competitor in its lineup, and perhaps unsurprisingly, it looks pretty close in design to the real thing.
The Beijing Auto BJ40, as it is called, is saddled with a 2.4-liter gasoline engine making just 143 hp and 160 foot pounds of torque.
But according to CarNewsChina.com, the 4x4 will soon receive a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that its parent company, BAIC, received from GM's fire sale of Saab parts bin items in 2009, along with the Saab 9- ...

With sports cars, hit reset (often) for successPosted 11:00 am U.S. ET, May 26
Mazda's 2016 MX-5
The newly redesigned Mustang is barely a year old, and Ford is already unfurling a series of updates and upgrades for the 2016 model year.
Some of the motivation for these quick changes is, of course, aimed at blunting an expected strong challenge from the revamped (read: leaner, meaner) 2016 Chevrolet Camaro due this fall.
But there's more to it than that.
Ford, General Motors and Fiat Chrysler know something about nurturing sports and muscle cars for long-term success that many other automakers don't, or won't, practice.

Summer IP Programme in London
A new, three-week study abroad program in London will be particularly helpful for students interested in Intellectual Property Law. The intensive three-week 2015 Summer Law Programme, from July 20, 2015 – August 7, 2015, enables students to attend the program after summer internships and before on-campus interviews.
The rigorous, intellectually rich curriculum is designed to take advantage of London's unique location as both the historical birthplace of Anglo-American IP law and as a dynamic center of modern international IP practice.
The fully accredited programme offers five one-credit courses from which students can choose any three.
- China Intellectual Property Law & Policy
- Comparative Competition Law
- Comparative Privacy and Data Protection Law
- The Origins & Development of Copyright Law
- Trademarks and Geographical Indications
All courses comply with the standards of the American Bar Association and the Association of American Law Schools.
We allow auditing courses (with the permission of the particular faculty member and with the written approval of the director) and welcome practitioners seeking continuing legal education credit.
In addition to coursework, students will have the opportunity to visit many London locations important in the history and future of IP law, including:
- Stationers' Hall, headquarters of the The Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers, which held a monopoly on publishing until that power was diminished by the passing in 1710 of the Statute of Anne in 1710, the precursor to American copyright law.
- The United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office, where students will discuss university technology transfer and research. Participants, including university technical transfer officers and smaller technology companies, will discuss key issues including how IP functions in cross-border transactions, especially between China and UK.
The student housing at PURE Hammersmith is conveniently located on Shepherds Bush Road in Hammersmith, London, just 1.5 miles from the London Law Centre.
Last summer's participants included five students from Notre Dame Law School, three from the University of Notre Dame Australia School of Law, two from the University of Minnesota Law School, one from the University of Baltimore School of Law, one from Loyola Law School, and one from the University of Dayton School of Law. We expect enrollment in our new Intellectual Property summer program to expand to include students from Europe in addition to students from Australia, China, and other Asian countries. We will be monitoring applications and updating this information as the year progresses.

Open Document Foundation Gives Up
The Open Document Foundation whose self-declared aim was to promote the Open Document Format has closed down.
The Internet page ran a message saying "The OpenDocument Foundation, Inc. is closed. We sincerely wish our friends and associates in the OpenDocument Community all the best and much success going forward. Good-bye and good luck." for a short while, before closing down completely.
Two weeks ago, the Open Document Foundation made a stir by proposing the Compound Document Format (CDF) as an alternative to the Open Document Format (ODF) and contacting the W3C committee to gain support for CDF. The reasons for the move to CDF was improved compatibility with Microsoft's OOXML format the foundation claimed at the time. Cris Lilley from W3C contradicted. CDF is not an office format, and thus not an alternative to the Open Document Format. This turn-down is likely the reason for the abrupt ditching of the foundation.
The closure is unlikely to have any impact on propagating the Open Document Format, which was specified by OASIS, accepted as an international standard, ISO/IEC 26300, in 2006, and which has now been adopted by many major corporations such as IBM and Sun.

GM to introduce industry-first front center airbags

Article Summary
With frontal, roof-mounted and rear-window airbags you'd be forgiven for thinking that there couldn't possibly be anywhere else in a car automobile manufacturers could cram one. But you'd be wrong. General Motors (GM) has just announced it will introduce the industry's first front center airbag in selected vehicles in 2013. The latest airbag addition is designed to protect drivers and front passengers in the event of side impact crashes.

Good LED TV10/1/2012
The glass base is wobble free and easy to assemble but doesn't swivel or tilt. The tv is so light it's easy to pick up and move. Great picture in HD. In some old standard def there is sometimes a bit of motion blur but depends (noticed a bit on a 70's tv show). Sound volume is capable of hurting ears but lacks bass and is "thin" sounding. Good remote control. Changes channels in 2 seconds on antenna. When you first turn tv on takes about 8-9 seconds. Easy set up. Paper user manual. USB for photos, music.

New nurses at Saint Joseph and Redwood Memorial Hospitals got a lesson in tracheostomy and chest tube care today.
It's part of an 18-week long orientation program called Versant. The nation-wide program ensures new nurses are completely knowledgeable with their new surroundings before beginning their careers.
There are 11 nurses in this year's course. Each has graduated with their license and degree within the last year. Once the residents graduate the program in December, they will be ready to begin their career at one of the local hospitals.
Today's lesson was one of the most high-risk skills nurses have to perform. Dianna Ramsey, the assistant manager for clinical education said these procedures were selected because they're not performed often, but require a lot of skill.

Normally when you talk about luxury travel, alongside high-quality service, you're looking for convenience. But occasionally another kind of luxury comes along, where exclusivity trumps ease of travel, and the feeling of remote tropical beaches is worth an extra leg of the journey. The Biras Creek Resort is just such a hotel. Situated on Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands, it is only accessible by boat or helicopter. Even day travelers using the marina aren't allowed full access to the resort's facilities. But if you get on the bouncer's shortlist, you'll be enjoying swimming, sailing, and snorkeling around a 140-acre peninsula surrounded by three distinct bodies of water: a protected island lagoon, the Caribbean Bay, and the vast Atlantic Ocean. You couldn't ask for a more romantic site for a trip-for-two.
Thirty-one suites each hold a special privacy, and the limited number of guests means you can quickly establish a rapport with the bartender, who will come to know your favorite drink, and maybe even have it ready for you when you roll up to the bar. The Biras Creek Resort is the perfect balance of elegance and soft-spoken, informal exclusivity.

Hungary PM Orban savours election victory while far right makes further gains
Published on Apr 7, 2014 4:17 PM
BUDAPEST (AFP) - Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban savoured on Monday a decisive election victory that gives a European Union leader accused of undermining democracy four more years in power, while the far-right made further gains.
"We can say with absolute certainty that we won," the right-wing and rabble-rousing Mr Orban, 50, told jubilant, flag-waving supporters in Budapest on Sunday night. "These elections were free. Organised in a free country."
Final results and the distribution of seats in Parliament were still not in, but with some 99 per cent of votes counted, Mr Orban's Fidesz party was on 44.5 per cent and the far-right Jobbik on 20.5 per cent.
The rickety opposition alliance of the centre-left led by Mr Attila Mesterhazy was in distant second place with 26 per cent, almost 20 percentage points behind Mr Orban's party, the results showed.

A technique and apparatus for dynamically establishing and varying GeoFencing of a GPS-processor equipped vehicle or the like by providing specialized software and firmware at the vehicle processor to enable internal calculation of shape and size of GeoFences about the vehicle upon commands of the control center station, and without the necessity for such calculation or data point information transmission from the station.
1. A method of controlling from a remote control center the dynamic GeoFencing of a vehicle or other movable apparatus internally provided with a GPS receiver, software-implemented processor, and communication links, that comprises, transmitting a command from said control center to the vehicle to receive and transmit to the control center, its current GPS location point; pre-determining at the control center the desired shape and size of a GeoFence around the vehicle and transmitting commands to the vehicle to establish such a GeoFence; and responding at the processor to said commands by operating said software to calculate in the processor the location of points defining the perimeter of said desired shape and size of GeoFence, thereby establishing the desired GeoFence about the current vehicle location point from data calculated at said vehicle processor.

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of GeoFencing—the concept of providing information that indicates through GPS signal fixing at, and of, a vehicle or other apparatus or system receiving its GPS location or address, that the vehicle or the like has not strayed beyond some predetermined area surrounding that location—the so-called GeoFence established around an original address or location of the vehicle or the like.
[0002] As described, for example, at Qualcam http://www.qualcam.com, Air IQ http://www.airir.com. and Highway Master@(trackhttp://www.highwaymaster.com, as illustrations, the prior art of such GeoFencing requires either the entry via send-port or other physical interface or the day-to-day downloading at the vehicle of data points for establishing the parameters of the fence to be established around the vehicle origin location, to be transmitted from an outside source such as a remote central server station, generally over an air interface such as the cellular telephone networks. In accordance with existing methods, hardware is installed in the vehicle, such hardware consisting of a GPS receiver, processor/memory, and firmware, and power supply. The variations of the GeoFence can be applied once the latitude and longitude is determined by the hardware and the location is registered at the central station, which then transmits data points for the setting of the desired GeoFence area, for downloading at the vehicle to define the desired GeoFence latitude and longitude parameters. If the vehicle is unauthorizedly driven out of the established GeoFence, it is possible then to cause an alarm to be sent over a radio or telephone channel to provide notification that the vehicle has been so moved. Alternatively, if the vehicle, such as construction equipment or the like, is to be located at a different site, a new GPS origin location is received at the new site by the vehicle and is registered at the central station, and new sets of data points are transmitted from the station to the vehicle or apparatus to set up a new GeoFence; or to expand or contract a GeoFence, all as desired. The fence parameters may change because the position of the vehicle itself may be moved from town to town, requiring changed origin points; or the size of the GeoFence may be varied, altering the radius from, say, one mile to two miles. A delivery vehicle, for example, may choose to expand the area of its delivery van from just one city to neighboring cities.
[0003] The before-described present-day transmission of GeoFence data to be downloaded at the vehicle requires considerable bandwidth in the communications network to enable downloading all of the new latitude-longitudinal information to establish the GeoFence, requiring considerable air time to do so and intensive messaging, or requires direct input via a physical interface to the hardware. Extensive messaging is required, indeed, to get enough data into the vehicle hardware to establish a new GeoFence.
[0004] These difficulties are alleviated in accordance with the technique of the present invention by building the capability of establishing the new GeoFence within the firmware product in the vehicle itself, and requiring only commands from the central station to set up the new GeoFence—totally eliminating the present-day need for transmitting data from the station and re-loading such new data points into the vehicle resident hardware.
[0005] As an illustration, it may be desired to move a piece of construction equipment, say, a steam shovel, to a new location. Once the vehicle is moved, the central station sends a command to it to determine the new home origin location points or address by its GPS equipment and to register the new location with the station. A subsequent command will activate the algorithm provided in accordance with the invention within the firmware of the vehicle processing equipment to calculate within the unit itself, the new data points for the selected GeoFence—say a circle of 2-mile radius about the new origin location. This totally eliminates the requirement for the station to send the new fence data, since the vehicle unit itself now calculates the new GeoFence parameters dynamically within itself.
[0006] At the time of manufacture of the vehicle processing unit, the characteristics of the GeoFence are, or can be, pre-established—whether it will be a circle, or a square, or a polygon such as a hexagon or an octagon approximating a circle. Once determined, the unit software will, in operation, generate the new latitude and longitude points for the perimeter of the GeoFence about the home origin point or address.
[0007] The primary object of the invention, thus, is to provide a new and improved method of and apparatus for GeoFencing that shall not be subject to the prior art and present-day disadvantages above described; but that, to the contrary, enable dynamic GeoFence establishment at the vehicle itself upon command from a remote central or control station.
[0008] Other and further objects will be explained hereinafter and are more particularly delineated in the appended claims.
[0009] In summary, however, from one of its broadest viewpoints, the invention embraces a method of controlling from a remote control center the dynamic GeoFencing of a vehicle or other movable apparatus internally provided with a GPS receiver, a software-implemented processor, and communication links, that comprises, transmitting a command from said control center to the vehicle to receive and transmit to the control center, its current GPS location point; pre-determining at the control center the desired shape and size of a GeoFence around the vehicle and transmitting commands to the vehicle to establish such a GeoFence; and responding at the processor to said commands by operating said software to calculate in the processor the location of points defining the perimeter of said desired shape and size of GeoFence, thereby establishing the desired GeoFence about the current vehicle location point from data calculated at said vehicle processor.
[0010] Preferred and best mode embodiments and designs are later detailed.
[0011] The invention will now be explained in connection with the accompanying drawings, FIG. 1 of which is an explanatory diagram of different GeoFence areas;
[0012]FIGS. 2 and 3 are system diagrams showing the inter-relation of vehicles (or the like) to-be-monitored and GPS satellite navigation signaling and control center links used in accordance with the invention; and
[0013]FIG. 4 is a diagram of changed site and remote control station interaction.
[0014] Referring to FIG. 1, a plurality of different-area GeoFence geometric shapes are shown established around a central vehicle origin location O—as, for example, of circular or polygonic shape. The data points P for establishing the perimeter are, in accordance with the technique underlying the present invention, as later detailed, computed by the processor within the vehicle at O on external command, once the vehicle GPS receiver has identified its origin location. The size of the GeoFence is varied by changing the radius or effective radius r, r′ for the GeoFence, by command.
[0015] A vehicle 1 is shown in the form of a crane for illustrative purposes in FIG. 2, equipped with a GPS receiver 1A for receiving navigation position-location signals SL from the GPS constellation 2, a processor 1B, and a communication modem or link 1C for communicating along ST and receiving along SC to and from a central control center station 3. The control center station, FIGS. 2 and 3, communicates along SC with commands, later explained, for the control of the software-programmed processor 1B, and also may request the GPS satellite 2 (S, FIG. 2) and/or the GPS vehicle receiver 1A, to signal the longitude-latitude current position coordinates for the current location O of the vehicle 1 as is well known. The vehicle 1 will provide along ST the current (or new) location information received at the vehicle from the satellite, to the central station 3 for registration thereat. Upon such command SC from the central control station 3, the vehicle 1 therefore identifies its current (new) location or site.
[0016] At the control center, a decision is made to establish a desired, or to change a GeoFence around the vehicle at its identified current (new) location, and a command signal SC is sent to the vehicle to establish a new GeoFence and also, preferably simultaneously, to designate what new parameters for the GeoFence the vehicle processor 1B is to calculate.
[0017] Upon receipt at the vehicle unit of such commands, the vehicle processor 13 calculates by its internal software and firmware such new GeoFence parameters selected by the control center station. The new parameters are selectable after the vehicle determination from the GPS satellite of its current home position, through the well-known use of numbered tables—a first for selection of a particular geometric pattern or shape (circular, polygon, etc.) from a fence shape numbered table T1, FIG. 2, and then for selection of the size of the shape from a second pre-prepared numbered table T2—for example, the selection of a circular fence and the selection of a radius, say, of 2 miles from the control center. Such communications may be effected via a cellular telephone channel or by other radio air link interfaces as by VHF, UHF and the like, including the Lojack "One Phone" and "Location" systems described in copending U.S. patent applications, Ser. Nos., 09/235,606, filed Jan. 20, 1999 and 09/662,278, filed Sep. 14, 2000 and 09/194,242, filed Nov. 25, 1998.
[0018] The internal firmware-software at the vehicle, by well-known types of implementation, itself thus calculates and establishes the GeoFence and desired changes therein without the necessity for the supplying of data from the control center as is presently done, though subject to the above-described and other disadvantages, all overcome by the dynamic GeoFencing concept of the present invention.
[0019] An example of the use of the invention is shown in FIG. 4 where a first established GeoFence of an exemplary two-mile radius has been set up (far right) for a vehicle at Origin O in Boston. The vehicle is then moved to Worchester (0′) and a five mile radius GeoFence is set up with the longitude-latitude data points P defining the circular fence calculated internally by the vehicle processor upon command of the remote central control station at Braintree, as earlier described. A supplemental "help" or alarm signal is also illustrated as sent to the station in an emergency or in the event the vehicle has been unauthorizedly moved outside the established GeoFence.
[0020] Further modifications will occur to those skilled in this art and such are considered to fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.

It can be the best of times, or not so much. What happens after the 6th date?
One of the "Date Watchers," Cindy, said men are like bubbles in Champagne: they disappear. A real 'Internet dating diva, she revealed that most of the men she met online were like bubbles in a glass of Champagne.
That sounded poetic until she admitted, after six dates most guys evaporated and vanished. She said the 'disappearing act' sometimes happened before the sixth date. Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, the Date Watchers convened. Eight women – all around the same age, (perpetually 39) attended. In keeping with a theme: 'Sex in the City for Girls Over 50', pretty pink Cosmopolitans were served.
Fact: give a single woman in San Francisco two Cosmos and you had better be ready to take notes. There was a flood of ideas and beliefs about fast-and fleeting-dating.
Mae West said, "I only have 'yes' men around me. Who needs 'no' men?"
Let Them Eat Cake
Cally Lou, who goes by "Will Date for Food" on a site she has dubbed: Eharm.com, commented that on line dating is like a buffet. People push their trays down the dating buffet line and randomly pick and choose each other." She continued, "Initially, it's totally exciting and intoxicating. Eventually, you learn what's healthy for your body and mind. Sometimes too much of a good thing can be bad, boy." The group ran with the obvious dessert and desert metaphors.
Helene concluded with an observation that Match.com and other costly on-line cupids perpetuate a 'candy store mentality.' If at first you don't meet Mr. or Ms Right-Now, try another five flavors; there are dozens of so-called perfect matches, sweetie. She said each day, Match sent her photographs of 15 men who were supposedly a perfect match. She was both dizzy and very disappointed by the sheer numbers and plethora of no- interest -whatsoever-ever. And, yet, she persists.
Sweet nothings: Bon bons or bon mots?
Finally, Valerie, the chef and gracious host of the event, raised her glass and said, "Ladies, remember, in this chapter of life, think: rice. You've got to have R-I-C-E, you know, Respect, Integrity, Chemistry, and Energy. That's the ticket." After raucous agreement and applause, the women proposed a toast to spring and flings and friends for life. Salute: to real romance and RICE for all.
Best advice: Be careful out there.
"There comes a time in every woman's life when the only thing that helps is a glass of champagne." Bette Davis

The President's Speech to AIPAC
11:06 AM, May 22, 2011 • By DANIEL HALPER
Because we understand the challenges Israel faces, I and my administration have made the security of Israel a priority. It's why we've increased cooperation between our militaries to unprecedented levels. It's why we're making our most advanced technologies available to our Israeli allies. And it's why, despite tough fiscal times, we've increased foreign military financing to record levels.
That includes additional support – beyond regular military aid – for the Iron Dome anti-rocket system. This is a powerful example of American-Israel cooperation which has already intercepted rockets from Gaza and helped saved innocent Israeli lives. So make no mistake, we will maintain Israel's qualitative military edge.
You also see our commitment to our shared security in our determination to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Here in the U.S., we've imposed the toughest sanctions ever on the Iranian regime. At the United Nations, we've secured the most comprehensive international sanctions on the regime, which have been joined by allies and partners around the world. Today, Iran is virtually cut off from large parts of the international financial system, and we are going to keep up the pressure. So let me be absolutely clear – we remain committed to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Its illicit nuclear program is just one challenge that Iran poses. As I said on Thursday, the Iranian government has shown its hypocrisy by claiming to support the rights of protesters while treating its own people with brutality. Moreover, Iran continues to support terrorism across the region, including providing weapons and funds to terrorist organizations. So we will continue to work to prevent these actions, and will stand up to groups like Hezbollah who exercise political assassination, and seek to impose their will through rockets and car bombs.
You also see our commitment to Israel's security in our steadfast opposition to any attempt to de-legitimize the State of Israel. As I said at the United Nation's last year, "Israel's existence must not be a subject for debate," and "efforts to chip away at Israel's legitimacy will only be met by the unshakeable opposition of the United States."
So when the Durban Review Conference advanced anti-Israel sentiment, we withdrew. In the wake of the Goldstone Report, we stood up strongly for Israel's right to defend itself. When an effort was made to insert the United Nations into matters that should be resolved through direct negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians, we vetoed it.
And so, in both word and deed, we have been unwavering in our support of Israel's security. And it is precisely because of our commitment to Israel's long-term security that we have worked to advance peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
Now, I have said repeatedly that core issues can only be negotiated in direct talks between the parties. And I indicated on Thursday that the recent agreement between Fatah and Hamas poses an enormous obstacle to peace. No country can be expected to negotiate with a terrorist organization sworn to its destruction. We will continue to demand that Hamas accept the basic responsibilities of peace: recognizing Israel's right to exist, rejecting violence, and adhering to all existing agreements. And we once again call on Hamas to release Gilad Shalit, who has been kept from his family for five long years.
And yet, no matter how hard it may be to start meaningful negotiations under the current circumstances, we must acknowledge that a failure to try is not an option. The status quo is unsustainable. That is why, on Thursday, I stated publicly the principles that the United States believes can provide a foundation for negotiations toward an agreement to end the conflict and all claims – the broad outlines of which have been known for many years, and have been the template for discussions between the United States, Israelis, and Palestinians since at least the Clinton Administration.
I know that stating these principles – on the issues of territory and security – generated some controversy over the past few days. I was not entirely surprised. I know very well that the easy thing to do, particularly for a President preparing for reelection, is to avoid any controversy. But as I said to Prime Minister Netanyahu, I believe that the current situation in the Middle East does not allow for procrastination. I also believe that real friends talk openly and honestly with one another. And so I want to share with you some of what I said to the Prime Minister.

Product description
Most people think that beauty revolves around such things as lipstick, sweet eyes, or skinny jeans -- all those things that we can see (and obsess over) in the mirror. But the fact is that beauty isn't some superficial pursuit, and it's not some random act that you can thank (or curse) your ancestors for. There are, in fact, scientific standards to beauty. Beauty is purposeful, because it's how humans have historically communicated who we are to potential mates. Beauty, in fact, is really about your health and happiness. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Michael F. Roizen and Dr. Mehmet C. Oz bust the myths and stereotypes about the way we view ourselves -- and how we define beauty. In these pages, you'll find out why beauty isn't as much about your vanity as it is about your humanity. The doctors take a scientific, informative, and entertaining look at the three levels of beauty and explain how they all work together to form a complete and authentic YOU. Those three levels of beauty are: Looking Beautiful: Your appearance influences your self-esteem and has major health implications. Here, the docs will tell you how you can look the way you want. Feeling Beautiful: So what if you have luscious lips or gorgeous locks if your joints creak and you have the energy of a rug? The docs will tell you how to improve your energy levels, beat back your life-altering aches and pains, and come to grips with some of life's toughest stresses. Being Beautiful: By improving your relationships with your loved ones as well as with others, you'll be well on your way to finding true happiness. That's the ultimate goal: Having all three levels of beauty working together so you can have a happy and healthy life. You'll start off by taking the ultra-revealing and validated YOU-Q Test to help you assess where you are on your own beauty scale and where you want to be. Take the test, see how well you do; then use the book to help you improve your score. With their usual candor and honesty, Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz break down the mechanics of beauty and explain how little adjustments in your routine can help you become a happier, healthier person. You will learn about the biology of beauty, take YOU Tests to determine where you are on the beauty scale, get tons of YOU Tips to help you improve your life, as well as learn the secrets of the Ultimate Beautiful Day. From hair to toenails, Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz go through every part of your body to explain how different foods, vitamins, creams, gels, and injections can really boost your looks. They scrutinize the beauty myths that bombard us every day and offer an unbiased perspective on which ones cause more harm than good. You will be able to revamp your beauty regimen (or start a new one from scratch). They'll also take a close look at chronic pain, mood swings, low energy, and financial stresses. And they'll dive into the science of building relationships, finding happiness, and using spirituality to help you define your own levels of true beauty. Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz act as tour guides navigating the tricky but exciting terrain of today's beauty industry. "YOU: Being Beautiful" is your all-inclusive ticket into the world -- the real world -- of beauty.

Product description
Apollonius of Tyana was a Greek Pythagorean philosopher and teacher. He hailed from the town of Tyana in the Roman province of Cappadocia in Asia Minor. He was roughly a contemporary of Jesus. At the age of 20 Apollonius began a five year silence, after the completion of this term of silence he traveled to Mesopotamia and Iran. After his death his name remained famous among philosophers and occultists. To the student of the origins of Christianity there is naturally no period of Western history of greater interest and importance than the first century of our era; and yet how little comparatively is known about it of a really definite and reliable nature. If it be a subject of lasting regret that no non-Christian writer of the first century had sufficient intuition of the future to record even a line of information concerning the birth and growth of what was to be the religion of the Western world, equally disappointing is it to find so little definite information of the general social and religious conditions of the time.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Van Trier claims that light and its associated information transmits through the whole universe but ignores that most of that light and information is lost somewhere in between. You do not connect with a distant monument by pointing a smart phone's led flash at it, billions of failed night photos prove it every year. Once you take that huge loss of information into account, that ethereal quality of light quickly disappears, and your philosophical view of light changes inevitably (or should at least).
Because of this omni directional property, our inability to mask it or focus it, we can not "see" it (in the way of images) but very much sense it (see vestibular system). Funny thing is lots of people get sea sick if these two senses disagree in what they "see".

Day 2: Saline Valley
Got a bit of a late start. You know how it is; herding cats and all. Ten f'ing o'clock!
Made our way out to Saline Valley. We went through the canyon leading down and experienced our first water crossing, which you'll see in video form shortly. Oh here it is now
We decided to take a break.
FYYFF and RobG (thanks for the firewood, Rob)
Rich and his refreshment
Herrhelmet and Dunerat. We pass Dunerat earlier and he's having a cold one and smoke. He says "don't worry, I'll catch up with you guys..." He sure did. Rides like a bat out of hell.
Another fine vista of Saline Valley
Plenty of breaks to rest
Let's see... I know my fender came off somewhere around here... Wait a sec... what are all those naken men doing in the middle of the desert?
Had to stop at the hot springs.
Wallywhirled and I were the only ones to drop trou' and hop in the pools. Trust me, you don't want any pictures of that nightmare.
"Okay, Eric, point to the place on the doll where the naked man touched you..." I still didn't feel so good at this moment about the whole thing.
Ers found Tex's license plate right about here. BT dubs, there was a hell of a lot of sand in that place. Not so much big bike friendly.
Some roadside repair on my bike as well as others'
