The year is 1947. The businessman Ben Pon is travelling from Amersfoort to the small German town of Minden, where he has an appointment with the British authorities who, directly after the war, were in charge of the Volkswagen factory. Pon is eager to speak with them as he has absolute faith in the quality of Volkswagen and he is determined to become the Dutch importer for Volkswagen. His visit has unexpected and far-reaching consequences.
Wednesday April 23, 1947, Ben Pon sat together wit the British authorities, discussing his ideas to import Volkswagens into the Netherlands. However, on this day he also did something else: he held out his notebook, took his pencil and drew a rough sketch of a rectangular commercial vehicle.
It is really nothing more than a box on wheels, with a driver's cab at the front and an engine behind it. History does not say how others present at the meeting reacted, but one thing is certain: it was a revolutionary idea for the time, as ingenious as it was simple, with a large cargo space on a small area. According to Pon the vehicle would weigh 750 kg empty and be able to carry loads in excess of 750 kg. Pon seems to have based his development on the so-called 'Plattenwagen', a primitive-looking vehicle with rear-wheel drive that the Volkswagen engineers had developed for internal use within the Volkswagen factory. Just like the 'Plattenwagen', the vehicle envisioned by Ben Pon would have to be built on the chassis of a Kever.
Pon's brilliant idea was initially put on hold - but not for long. One year later - in the meantime Ben Pon and his brother Wijnand became the first official Volkswagen importers in the world - a message from Volkswagen arrives.
Heinrich Nordhoff, the new CEO of Volkswagen, and the technical director Alfred Haesner had decided to develop Ben Pon's idea. They gave a green light for the development, and so Ben Pon became the inventor of the Volkswagen Transporter.
His simple design for a small transport vehicle became the blueprint for the future.

It was a great set, and I was beyond impressed that she got thousands of people at the Gentilly stage to hush up and listen when she sang "I Can't Make You Love Me." You could hear a pin drop between the lines as she sang them. One of the outstanding moments of this year's Fest.
Broad is becoming the new Claiborne. Are there really enough businesses in the area to justify two commercial corridors in that part of town?
I understand your cynicism, but the cops are dealing with the shootings. (There was one seriously underreported incident at DeSoto and Broad, just blocks from the Fairgrounds a couple nights ago, and I can attest that the cops were indeed on the scene).
It's the stuff that leads to the shootings that seems to vex them.
I don't have anything against the fest, its price, its attendees, its location or the inclusion of huge-name headliners. I just think Sunday's fest was grossly oversold, and the crammed conditions around the Acura stage were potentially dangerous. Had there been a fight, a medical emergency or some other unplanned problem, it could have gotten out of hand very quickly and very badly. Jazz Fest planners are getting mighty greedy, and they're choosing the almighty dollar over a pleasant and safe experience for festival-goers.
What a hack! The ignoramus at the NYT must not have heard of Charlie Gabriel. Or Tommy Sancton. Or any one of the other wonderful jazz clarinetists currently working in New Orleans.
I was driving through NOE recently, and could not access either the Siri or mapquest functions on my phone. "I cannot help you with that now" and "no data found." WT...? I got the heck out of there.
Was sad to see them go; it was a wonderful event, and it was nice to see folks of all ages enjoying it.
Leave it alone. Any rebranding effort wouldn't be to reposition the team, it would be to further fill Tom Benson's deep pockets with sales of all-new jerseys and merchandise. Oh look! Here comes a bandwagon! Hop on, suckers! And make sure you push out all the old fans who've been rooting for the New Orleans Hornets from the jump.
Since women tend to live longer than men, and hence, represent a larger proportion of elderly drivers, isn't the mistaken-gas-pedal stat a bit misleading? It may have less to do with gender than it does with being an elderly driver.

Perhaps the TP is in on the buy-the-book scheme :) All I know is that, at 80, she is still lovely and sharp as a tack. "Charming" is an understatement.

7-3 loss
. Alex Wilson pitched 3.2 stellar innings—giving up no hits and striking out three.
Yoenis Cespedes
Mike Napoli
David Ross
had the Sox RBIs.
Dustin Pedroia

COLONIE - A man already caught up in accusations he abused puppies is now facing new charges of animal abuse.
Colonie police say Anthony Walker of Albany left four dogs locked in a U-Haul truck in the frigid weather. They say the dogs were emaciated when they found them.
Walker is the same man who was charged earlier this month in connection with three puppies found injured near some railroad tracks in Albany. One of those dogs died and another lost a paw.
Now police say Walker is responsible for the dogs found locked in the cargo space of a rental truck parked at the Super 8 motel on Central Avenue.
The dogs were taken to the Capital District Animal Emergency Clinic for treatment.

Hey guys just wondering what thoughts you guys have on Gotham Heights in Kings of the Crisis. Do you like it as a player? Do you like it as a spectator?
Hey guys just wondering what thoughts you guys have on Gotham Heights in Kings of the Crisis. Do you like it as a player? Do you like it as a spectator?
I like it as a player as it's good for the game but I hate as a spectator and as a human being because I hate E-Sports.
PSU: MAXXTRO ATX 450epn12 (450w);
OS: Windows 8.1 64bits;
CPU: Core 2 Quad Q8400 @2.73GHz;
RAM: Dual-Channel 4GB DDR3;
GPU: GeForce GTX550 Ti;
Screen: 1360x768.
The largest problem with E-Sports at the moment is that is unappealing to the viewer who has no concept of the game that is being played. An example of this is someone who has not played a MOBA coming to watch a standard 3 lane map championship being played compared to someone who has never watched American Football watching the Superbowl. In the case of the Superbowl you have endless commentary, crowd influences, but most importantly the base of the game is action packed and easy to understand. This leads to the new viewer to be "involved" with the game. In the case of the standard 3 lane map, the commentary may or may not be there, and there is little to no crowd influence to help you get well involved in the game. This means the new viewer has to have some understanding prior to the game, or they are not interested enough to watch.
The base game of Gotham Heights is easy to understand, and filled with action. This makes it easier for the new viewer to get interested in the game. So as an E-Sports viewer that wants as many new viewers to become interested in watching and playing the game while not having prior experience in this genre, I think it is a wonderful move.
As a player I think it is a borderline shotty idea. In the end the one mechanic that matters is point control. That is it. You could be down a few thousand gold or more as a team and still win because you controlled the points if played right. Also some games just boil down to which team can slaughter the other team better, and that makes the idea lose some appeal on the professional level to me.
Well, those are my thoughts on GH in KotC. IC is doing a lot that may change the E-Sports when people start paying attention, and outside viewers start coming in. A spectatot game has to appealing to the largest group possible in order to be successful.

Hate it as a player and hate watching it.
I love Gh as a player and I love GH as a spectator.
And as Dycer explained rather eloquently, GH will be far more enjoyable for a viewer with no MOBA experience. Anyone who has played games for a year or more in a multiplayer capacity has more than likely ran into a "capture-point" format at least once so it will be familiar.
And even spectators who have never really played multiplayer games should be able to grasp the concept within a few matches watched. Particularly if the commentary is good and the action is non-stop.
With that said, I'd really like to see a focus on CC and GH personally. GD is pretty boring, just like any other typical tri-lane MOBA map (with a few twists, of course). Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the map. But when I first started playing it, it was my first actual attemp at a tri-lane map. I don't play other MOBA's because the laning phase is just boring to me, and jungling wasn't much better. But the way that CC evolved over time found it to have a very nice team-centric flow, with plenty of team fights and tons of ganking opportunities with two junglers and just two lanes.
Almost 12,000 Crisis Coins gone to waste...I am a sad panda.

Love it as a player hate it as a spectator.
There's no depth to it, it's just players running around capping points.
It doesn't make sense to be trying to make 3 maps into e-sports.
Definite plus, much more interesting than watching people lane. The strategy shown in streamed games is a bit behind the meta though (which is itself very immature), and there is much to learn for everyone involved, which makes it even more interesting.
I don't really mind playing it but i assume its probably the most boring thing in the world to watch, And i really doubt the map as a competitive map the only thing i find good about GH is teaching people how to play the game. Much rather play more CC and GD.
I love all these 1337 MOBA vets who talk down about GH. Is there as much to focus on as on CC and GD? No, there isn't. But to say that there is no strategy at all, or no meta, or no reason why players do what they do is beyond silly. Any of you gunslingers on GD (or CC) are free to come play against me and some of my friends. Prove to us just how EZ mode it it.

Absolutely love playing it and watching it. I think it's the best map, and the future of esports. I find tri-lane maps unbelievably boring to watch, and frustrating to play. It makes no sense to me that the team that screws up first is most often the one that loses, as opposed to the team that consistently outplays the other one. This is why maps like GD don't appeal to me.
Additionally, I enjoy watching it because there's no laning phase. There's nothing more boring to me than listening to casters talk about absolutely nothing for 10-20 minutes while the players enjoy a game of PvE whack-a-mole. On top of that, I don't like how you can often figure out who's going to win at a certain point, but then there's 10 minutes spent trying to close out the game. Comebacks happen, but nowhere near to the extent that you see them happening on GH.
GH is also in this really cool place where it's accessible to nearly anyone, but it has a great deal more nuances than a lot of people seem to appreciate. There is a difference in between entry/mid level GH play, and high level GH play. Rewatching the games from last KOTC, there were some mechanically gifted players but it was clear to me that none of them really understood the map that well. I didn't see bleed portal being used, and that opens up another dimension of play that no one got to appreciate. This perception that GH is a "noob map" or a "practice map" is unfortunate, and comes from people who've never seen or experienced actual high level GH play.
I see so many different commonly said phrases at different elos that indicate to me a lack of understanding of the map.
Low elo: Fight on the points guys
Mid elo: Let's seige their turret by pushing with the minion wave
High elo: Only the points matter, don't chase for kills. I'll 1v1 bot.
Highest elo: This is going to be a quick, relaxing game.
At the highest elo, you recognize that 80% of the time the points don't matter. They only matter in two different situations. #1. You got fived capped. #2. You only have 150 points left.
Gotham Heights is not a map about capturing and holding points. It's all about trying to find the unfair fight, and pushing your advantage off of it once you've found it. It's trying to find the correct place to set up a bleed portal, while trying to find the enemy bleed portal and destroying it. It involves fighting in the jungle, and ganking the absolute **** out of bot lane. Anyone who thinks staying on the point to defend it is the right strat, is completely wrong. Points are distractions that enable unfair fights. Anyone who believes bot lane to be 1v1 is a fool. It's a place where you go to try and keep up with gold with the top laners, and bait the enemy laner into making enough bad plays that eventually one of them is something a teammate can gank off of. Good bot laners can actually surpass their top laners in total gold by farming effectively, roaming when possible and contributing to OC fights.
In the first Gotham Heights tourney hosted by Nerdock, the final games were intense. It was a best of three, and ended 2-1 in favor of KoH against TW. The games were so back and forth. It's a shame that the vods were lost, and so few people got to see it. Those who saw it loved them, and were impressed with the quality and excitement of the play they were watching. In other games like League of Legends, there was a dominion tournament that took place around the same time as worlds. Around 300-400 people saw those final 3 games, including some rioters (developers). Even the rioters were chanting in the twitch chat #betterthanworlds.
I think we need more GH tournaments, and more exposure for what higher level GH play looks like. There need to be more opportunities to compete because I was unfortunately unable to play in the last tourney. It's a great map, and a wonderful mode, and I'm so proud of turbine for supporting it. I only hope they continue to do so, and continue to explore its potential.

Army Cadets go for Gold
Posted: June 11, 2012|
Last Saturday, Grantham's Meres Sports Stadium hosted the Army Cadet Force National Athletics Championship. Under grey skies and a testing wind, over four hundred athletes from all over the UK battled for the ultimate prize of a gold medal.Councillor Stokes, Mayor of Grantham, said: "It brings Grantham to the attention of the nation and it's a wonderful honour that people all around the country, including Scotland, actually attends this on an annual basis". He added: "I'm sure the cadets really enjoy this."In total, ten regions took part in the event, including Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, providing a perfect blend of diversified talent. Nerves and excitement were very certainly evident as a very enthusiastic crowd buoyed the athletes on.The event presented the organisers with a huge challenge but, with true military precision, the day unfolded like clockwork. Unsung heroes included the hard-working team from St John Ambulance, who were kept very busy as the young athletes pushed themselves to the limit of endurance.As the event came to an end, and well-earned prizes were handed out, the satisfaction of the participants was hard to miss.One cadet said: "It's been quite difficult and a lot of competition" and "it's been mental".Daniel, the 800m winner, described what winning a gold medal feels like: "It feels really good. It's a great achievement, words can't really describe the achievement, but it's brilliant!"Overall Championship winners were the North East team, followed by Eastern region.

text: 5.0, you say? Nope. Many register entries confirm our impression that it was more like 5.4 - doable in vibram soles, but only with a top belay (Karon and I both slipped at the same spot, where the angle and friction are such that rock shoes are required for any degree of safety when leading). The prominant rap sling on "the big ledge" is NOT at the halfway point. You can't reach the top on a single rope from here! Go straight up to a smaller ledge, then go left: the alternate of left-then-up leads you under an overhang. Just above the smaller ledge is another rap sling (old and fading) held in place by a stone chock. From here you can reach the top but you may not be able to rappel all the way to the saddle, even if you bring two ropes to rap off! Macho climbers will walk down the 4th class friction of the top pitch, we all used the rope.

How much democracy can $91 Million buy?
And now, a word from my favorite Star Trek actor:
Today the US Senate is considering legislation that would destroy the free and open Internet.
"Why is it that when Republicans and Democrats need to solve the budget and the deficit, there's deadlock, but when Hollywood lobbyists pay them $94 million dollars to write legislation, people from both sides of the aisle line up to co-sponsor it?" - Reddit Founder Alexis Ohanian on CNBC.
As actor and blogger Wil Wheaton says: If you don't know what SOPA and ProtectIP are, read this technical examination of SOPA and ProtectIP from the Reddit blog and come back when you're done.
The TL:DR version is this: legislation proposed to stop online piracy has drawn sharp criticism and now online blackouts in protest from those who say the real effect is that the legislation:
- Will not stop the piracy they are targeting
- Contain language that is highly ambiguous and extremely broad making them ripe for abuse, and
- Introduce regulation and enforce censorship on what should be a free and open internet.
"A technical examination of SOPA and PROTECT IP" (Jason Harvey, Reddit.com, 1/17/12)
Whether or not you have opinions on the motivations and merits behind the proposed legislation, it's important to note the factors making the wheels turn: Politico recently reported that so far this year, the entertainment industry has spent $91 million on lobbying Congress, based on data from the Center for Responsive Politics.
Now industry execs–like former Senator and current MPAA chief executive–say that coordinated blackouts of top Internet sites protesting the legislation amount to a "gimmick," a "stunt," "hyperbole," "a dangerous and troubling development," an "irresponsible response," and an "abuse of power."
Wil Wheaton makes two important points:
When you complain that opponents didn't "come to the table to find solutions", do you mean that we didn't give NINETY-FOUR MILLION DOLLARS [sic] to congress like the MPAA?
Protesting to raise awareness of terrible legislation that will destroy the free and open Internet is an abuse of power, but buying NINETY-FOUR MILLION DOLLARS [sic] worth of congressional votes is just fine.
Again, the issues are complex but the view from up top isn't: Hollywood is getting what it paid for.
PS: Opposition to SOPA and PIPA cuts across partisan lines. See posts on Heritage Action for America and RedState.com.

MADISON - Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen submitted testimony today to the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Corrections, Insurance, Campaign Finance Reform, and Housing supporting John Doe reform, but proposing an alternative that he said would:
Van Hollen's testimony criticized the existing John Doe statute, which allows inmates to initiate criminal inquest proceedings without district attorney involvement and allows judges to issue criminal complaints.
Asking the committee to adopt his proposal, Van Hollen wrote, "Would you want a prosecutor to file charges and then sit in judgment of those charged? I am sure your answer is no. We should not permit judges to do so either. Would you want unaccountable individualsincluding those incarceratedto expend and consume state resources to exercise the awesome power of the criminal justice system to investigate crime, possibly even in secret? I expect your answer is also no."
Advocating his proposal over the proposed legislation (2009 SB 51), Van Hollen wrote, "In these tight fiscal times, it is all the more imperative to reform bad law in a way that saves taxpayer money and more thoroughly solves the problems existing law creates. My proposal will do that."
A copy of the Attorney General's testimony, along with his proposal, is attached.

Probably not.
Even in the brief time I've spent in AZ so far, I can see it's going to be a subject I won't be able to discuss once I'm doing my snow bird thing there. Had a brief taste of that the last time I was there when a shopkeeper was saying she'd moved from CA to AZ because CA was being taken over by "those" people (yes, that's the term she used referring to Hispanics--all of whom were deemed to be illegal immigrants by this person). Tried not to but was kind of hard to keep my eyebrows from heading toward my hair line as she was talking and put my diplomacy skills to test.
Hmm, how about we give them Godless commies a walk around the park again, I mean even ol' Romney Noodles thinks the cold war's still revvin', they're always good for a, 'God Bless America', or two, and surely we still have an inventory of Snitch Out Your Neighborhood's Commie Hoards propaganda layin' about.
Butt I'm goin' with, fear a world government, maybe some o' that Agenda 21 jack booted boogermen flyin' around in U.N. black helicopters roundin' up weapons & dissidents, you know, more old timey end of our sovereignty type stuff, nothin' too original
Oh, and speakin' of nothin' original, definitely more socialism socialism socialism, it rots your teeth and stinkys up your breath..well, maybe it does, and just mayyybe it doesn't.
Okay, funny story (at least I think it's funny). My niece Corah is 18 and has been raised in a small, white, white town about a half hour north of me. Her dad is the kind of guy who doesn't have any issues working or casually socializing with black people but probably would not be cool with his daughter dating one. I don't know ... would you call that middling-racist? And then she has told me there is a lot of racism at her school. Not overt because, well, it's mostly white people, but her friends will talk about how they wouldn't date a black guy or whatever. Anyway, she realizes that is all messed up but of course has become used to being surrounded by WASPs. The thing is, her dad is not her biological father. She is a product of a one-night stand my husband's sister had with a Mexican coworker who unfortunately never showed any interest in her and signed away his parental rights some time ago. SO. Most people don't know this, but she is biologically half-Mexican.
Anyway, that's all for background. She was here a few weeks ago, and we went to that great equalizer, Walmart. I never notice because this is my environment, but yes, typically there's a mix of races shopping there. (Everybody has to go to Walmart. It's like death and taxes.) So all of a sudden, she looked at me and whispered, "I'm not used to this. There are a lot of ethnic people here." I whispered back, "YOU are ethnic people." It took her a second, but then she burst out laughing. "I am!! I forget that!"
And whether we believe in the religious or purely scientific evolutionary process, we all came from the same source if we follow things back to the beginning. Of course, that does require recognizing that all races are part of humanity.
George Thorogood:
Who Do you Love
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire
I got a cobra snake for a necktie
A brand new house along the roadside
And it's a made out of rattlesnake hide
It's got a band new chimney put on top
And it's a made out of human skull
Come on take a little walk with me baby
And tell me who do you love?
Who do you love?
Now around the town I use a rattlesnake whip
Take it easy baby don't you give me no lip
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
I've got a tombstone hand and a graveyard mind
I'm just twenty-two and I don't mind dying
Who do you love?
Yeah, who do you love?
Ah, who do you love?
Now Arlene took a me by my hand
She said, "Lonesome George you don't understand"
Who do you love?
So the night were dark and the sky were blue
Down the alleyway a house wagon flew
Hit a bump and somebody screamed
You should've heard what I'd seen
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Yeah, who do you love?
Ah, who do you love?
Yeah, I've got a tombstone hand in a graveyard mine
Just twenty-two baby, I don't mind dying
Snakeskin shoes baby put them on your feet
Got the good time music and the Bo Diddley beat
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Bury your hatchets the instant you know you are bearing them.

Type Congenic; Targeted Mutation; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Additional information on Congenic nomenclature. Mating System +/+ sibling x Heterozygote (Female x Male) 01-MAR-06 Species laboratory mouse Background Strain C57BL/6 Donor Strain 129S4 via J1 ES cell line Generation N6F36 (04-MAY-15)
Generation Definitions
Donating Investigator IMR Colony, The Jackson Laboratory
Mice heterozygous for the Bdnftm1Jae mutation show about half normal levels of Bdnf mRNA, but appear normal. Mice homozygous for the Bdnftm1Jae mutation are smaller than normal siblings and most die within the second postnatal week. They have defective coordination of movements and balance. They also exhibit head bobbing and spinning during periods of hyperactivity. There are rare survivors to adulthood. There is excessive degeneration in all sensory ganglia examined, including the vestibular ganglion. Motor neurons are not affected. BDNF can prevent death of central motor neurons and other neurons in vitro, but does not affect these in vivo.

By Staff Sgt. Jim Greenhill, USASpecial to American Forces Press Service
HONOLULU, Feb. 5, 2008 Following successes in Europe, South and Central America, the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa, the National Guard's State Partnership Program is expanding in the Asia-Pacific region.
"These partnerships are limited only by what the two partners want to accomplish," said Army Lt. Gen. H Steven Blum, chief of the National Guard Bureau, characterizing the program as two-way relationships built on trust that outlives individual political administrations.
"None are more important than the ones we have in the Pacific," he said.
Navy Adm. Timothy J. Keating, chief of U.S. Pacific Command, has endorsed Bangladesh's request to participate in the program and asked Blum to nominate a National Guard state for this new partnership. If approved, Bangladesh would bring the number of foreign countries matched with U.S. states to 59. Some states have more than one partner.
With five Pacific Rim or Southeast Asian countries involved, Blum predicted that much of the partnership program's expansion in the next two to three years will occur in the region.
"Our nation needs to do this," Blum said. "It is … absolutely essential in our international relations in the future."
Keating said the time is right for expanding the program in PACOM's area of responsibility.
"The potential and the opportunity in the Asia-Pacific region are significant," he said. "Underpinning this potential is the requirement for security and stability, and that's where we all come in."
Life is better for hundreds of millions of people throughout the Asia-Pacific region, the admiral said, and he called the Guard's State Partnership Program "a big reason" for that.
"The United States in its national defense military strategy sees the need to do a much better job than we have done … in increasing our partnership capacity," Blum said. "There's nobody better suited to do it than the National Guard. Any time you call out the Guard to do anything, you call out America, and this truly calls out Americans into an international program that otherwise wouldn't be involved."
Keating said his impression of the National Guard was profoundly affected by working with Blum on the response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. "I developed an intense and abiding appreciation and respect for what the National Guard does for our country," he said.
A two-day Pacific State Partnership Program Regional Workshop here in late January, co-hosted by Blum and Army Maj. Gen. Bob Lee, Hawaii's adjutant general, brought together Indonesia, Mongolia, the Philippines, Thailand and their respective National Guard partner states of Hawaii, Alaska, Guam and Washington.
Foreign military chiefs, National Guard adjutants general and others discussed activities that promote mutual security cooperation, stability and progress throughout the 41-country PACOM area of operations. The State Partnership Program in the Pacific draws on the resources of PACOM, the National Guard Bureau, National Guard states, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, U.S. ambassadors and country teams, and other agencies and individuals.
The program started in the Baltic region of Europe in 1993 after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, focusing on matching U.S. states with former Soviet satellite nations.
"This partnership provided them a chance for the path to NATO and the European Union that they wanted to take to determine their future," Blum said.
The program later expanded to South and Central America. Central Asia, the Middle East, the Pacific and Africa came next. No State Partnership Program relationship has ended, and none has failed since the program's inception, officials said.
