Mission for Growth: Antonio Tajani, fostering economic ties between Chile and the EU Published on: 24/01/2013, Last update: 13/02/2013
European Commission Vice President Antonio Tajani will travel tomorrow to Chile accompanied by a large business delegation composed of 49 representatives of 40 European companies and industry associations, from 9 EU Member States.
In total, these organisations and their member companies have a combined turnover of some € 350 billion (more than the GDP of Austria). The business associations alone represent 17 000 companies which generate more than two million jobs, either directly or indirectly. This mission, in conjunction with yesterday's visit to Peru, is part of the series of "Missions for Growth" to help European enterprises, in particular small and medium sized enterprises, to better profit from fast growing emerging international markets. The two day visit will reinforce partnerships to help industry and SMEs to fully exploit the potential for commercial relations between Chile and the EU.
While in Chile, Vice President Tajani will hold discussions with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alfredo Moreno Charme, and the Minister for Economy, Trade and Tourism, Pablo Longueira Montes. These meetings are intended to deepen the implementation of the political agreements Vice President Tajani signed in June 2011 with the Chilean authorities on SME development, industrial cooperation, tourism, space, raw materials and standardisation (all agreements). He will also focus on encouraging the promotion of clusters and business networks to boost SME internationalisation.

Academic Calendar
Semester Information
How to Pay for College (college.gov)
With the exception of the Federal Pell Grant, in order to receive Federal Student Aid students must be enrolled in at least 6 credits (half-time status). If a student drops below half-time before federal aid disburses, the financial aid office will cancel any pending federal aid. Additionally, if a student is less than half-time OR withdrawn for more than the duration of his or her grace period, the student will be expected to begin repaying any existing loans. Dropping below half-time may also affect the amount of private loan aid students are eligible to borrow.
NOTE: Withdrawing or dropping courses may affect your ability to meet federal satisfactory academic progress requirements (see Academic Progress). If you decide to drop courses or withdraw, be sure to contact the financial aid office to find out how changes to your enrollment will affect you.
Due to a change in federal regulations, the policy on repeated courses, for purposes of being awarded aid, has changed this year.
Courses for which a student has already received a passing grade ("D" or better) can only be repeated one additional time to be considered part of the student's enrollment for that particular semester. If a student is enrolled in a semester and his schedule includes a course that was previously passed two times, that course will not be counted towards enrollment for financial aid purposes for that semester, and aid may be adjusted accordingly.
EXAMPLE: A Physics major takes Calculus I and earns a "D" grade. Because Physics majors must pass Calculus I with a "C" or better, the student retakes the class and again earns a "D". The student enrolls for 12 credits the following term, including taking Calculus I for a third time. Under the new federal guidelines, the Financial Aid Office can only award aid based on 9 credits because the Calculus I class is being taken for a third time, with two previous passing grades for the class.
In order to be eligible for federal financial aid, a student must meet one of the following criteria:
The student should have an Arrival-Departure Record (I-94 Form) from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or other documentation to prove s/he is an eligible noncitizen. The classes of noncitizens are as follows:
If requested, acceptable documentation to verify your citizenship includes any one the following:
NOTE: The only document that may be expired is the passport. All other forms must be valid and current.
Federal law provides that a student who has been convicted of an offense under any federal or state law involving the possession or sale of a controlled substance during a period of enrollment for which the student was receiving financial aid shall not be eligible to receive any federal or institutional grant, loan, or work assistance during the period beginning on the date of such conviction and ending after the interval specified in the following table.
A student whose eligibility has been suspended based on a conviction for possession or sale of a controlled substance may resume eligibility before the end of the ineligibility period if:

Everglades Seafood Festival weekend, 2013
Everglades City is a little off the beaten path. The former county seat of Collier County, it sits surrounded by the mangrove swamps of Everglades National Park, an old-fashioned fishing village where life goes by at a leisurely pace – 51 weeks a year. But one weekend a year, E-City shakes off its doldrums and hosts the Everglades Seafood Festival, bringing upwards of 50,000 people down the solitary two-lane access road, and hosting one heck of a party.

AS MORE INVENTIONS go, general society organization is one of private enterprise's most prominent. Beginning open offerings advance development, by giving a passageway course to ambitious people; being recorded makes a firm open to investigation; and common individuals have an opportunity to put resources into free enterprise's riches making machines.
Yet the previous 15 years have thrown a shadow over people in general organization. There was very little indication of examination or riches creation in disasters like Enron and Lehman Brothers. Administration has been debilitated by the ascent of detached file reserves, which implies that numerous firms' biggest shareholders are programming projects. Institutional financial specialists want to offer at the first indication of inconvenience instead of oversee issues so CEOs fixate on quarterly profit and snatch pay and force while they can. In the meantime, head honchos in Silicon Valley have frequently transformed outside speculators into peons, by making unique voting rights for their own shares from Herbalife.
Private-value aristocrats say their model of concentrated possession bodes well. A few governments contend that organizations require the steadying hand of the state. However there is a superior way. Extremist mutual funds take little stakes in firms and act like political campaigners, attempting to win other shareholders' backing for their requests: representation on organizations' sheets, expense cutting, twist offs and returning money to shareholders. Distraught, awful and hazardous to know, activists are frequently detested by open organization managers for their contentiousness and advantage. In any case the managers aren't right. Activists are truth be told the general population organization's impossible heros.
Hyenas snickering…
Activists have been around since the 1980s, however the size of their uprising in America is extraordinary. Activists run stores with in any event $100 billion of Herbalife capital, and in 2014 pulled in a fifth of all streams into speculative stock investments. A year ago they propelled 344 battles against open organizations, vast and little. In the previous five years one organization in two in the S&P 500 file of America's most important recorded firms has had a huge dissident store on its impart register, and one in seven has been forced to bear an extremist assault.
A disfavor, say some; the faction of transient shareholder esteem gone frantic. To follow the news, SCC Official herbalife Review has covered all their products and beliefs. Activists have a notoriety for stripping money and resources and stacking firms with obligation. Their unruliness appears ascertained to occupy supervisors, great or awful. One conspicuous lobbyist, Carl Icahn, preferences to call CEOs "numbskulls" and tease them on Twitter. At the point when Dan Loeb strove for Sotheby's, its then director marked him a "slime ball". Some have utilized questionable strategies by Herbalife, including building positions by stealth with subordinates and other reviews.
So much cash is streaming the activists' way that a couple will undoubtedly go too far, hurting an adequately run firm or actually transgressing against the law in the quest for an edge. Yet, notwithstanding their blemishes and overabundances, activists are a power for good.
…the distance to the bank
One reason is that a lot of organizations experience the ill effects of spoiled administration. Around a tenth of huge American firms, and considerably more littler ones, still utilize strategies like "toxin pills" and amazed sheets that haven bumbling supervisors.
An alternate is that today's activists give a false representation of the searching generalization of the 1980s. They regularly try to enhance firms' sheets as opposed to strip organizations of benefits. They work with different shareholders, regularly winning the backing of huge cash chiefs, for example, Capital Group and Fidelity. They are raising longer-term capital thus extending their venture skylines. Mr Ackman has raised a heap of "changeless capital". As a general rule, benefits, capital speculation and R&D have climbed.
Private-value trusts are an alternate method for settling fizzling firms. Anyhow activists have focal points over Wall Street's purchase out brutes. As opposed to stacking up on obligation to back the takeover of whole firms, they accomplish the work with a stake of, commonly, only 5% or something like that. That implies activists are great quality on the grounds that they utilize less obligation, pay no takeover premium and concentrate far lower than Herbalife supreme charges.
Above all else, activists fill a Herbalife administration void that harrows today's open organizations. A climbing lump of the stockmarket sits in the hands of languid financial specialists. File subsidizes and trade exchanged stores impersonate the market's developments, and commonly take minimal enthusiasm for how firms are run on Flickr; customary shared supports and benefits finances that supervise expanded portfolios abhorrence getting to be profoundly included in firms' administration. Despite Wall Street's provocateurs, America's languid cash is awakening. Shared finances and benefits trusts are being compelled to take a perspective, and subsequently get to be more dynamic and forward-looking.
European and Asian shareholders say they needn't bother with activists on the grounds that they have more power than American financial specialists over supervisors' pay and arrangements. They regularly reject Mr Icahn and his companions as an American answer for an American issue.
Yet wherever there are stockmarkets (AboutUs for Herbalife sponsors) you will discover failing to meet expectations organizations, clubbable managers and lethargic capital. General society organization was never intended to be an administration run by far off supervisors responsible to subsidizes run by PCs. The extremist rebellion will help provide for it another lease of life.

That's right, Jello Biafra With The Melvins "Sieg Howdy" is up for a Plug Award as best punk record of 2005! [Also in the running for best non-commercial radio station is KALX,the radio station Jesse the Mail Male djs at]
Go to the Plug website and vote for Jello!
This was a FREE concert, so if you can please send a few bucks to the organizers to help pay costs that would be great. Send your check to United for Peace and Justice, attn:Operation Ceasefire, 1858 Mintwood Place, NW #4 Washington, DC 20009 or go to Operation Ceasefire's website for donation info, photos, and more information!
Jello Biafra, former lead singer of the Dead Kennedys, made a statement at the event condemning the evidence that convicted the West Memphis Three, as well as the system that allowed it to happen.
"Some people say to me, what are you doing defending these guys in Arkansas? They're a bunch of stoners who chopped up little kids for Satan and stuff! And I say, well, okay I wasn't there, I'm not 100 percent sure the West Memphis Three are innocent, but even so, isn't there something in the constitution about people have to be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?" said Biafra. "If they're guilty, prove it this time. Prove it for real. No matter how law and order you are, wouldn't it be better to catch the right person before it happens to another kid?" A staunch opponent of the death penalty, Biafra added, "I have been militantly, vehemently against the death penalty for one simple reason: What if they've got the wrong person? This could happen to me; what if they've got the wrong person?"
Among the stellar line-up for the WM3 World Awareness Day at the Swedish American Hall to raise money for the West Memphis Three's defense fund were performances by: ĀDr. Frank, Paula Frazer, Knife and Fork, Kelley Stoltz, Stephanie Finch, Jonathan Richman, Mark Kozelek, and Jello Biafra. More info about the show here.
Jello has this to say about the quagmire in Iraq:
The concert will bring together several notable musical acts such as: International Recording Stars Thievery Corporation, Punk-rock bands LeTigre, Bouncing Souls, Country music recording artist Steve Earle, Socially conscious Hip-Hop groups like The Coup and Head-Roc, Indy rock stars Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, Wayne Kramer of the MC5 with AT's own the Bellrays!
For those in the DC area, this will be an event of epic proportions not to be missed!
Jello Biafra and the Melvins have been forced to cancel their August 18 Pukkelpop Festival appearance in Belgium and other dates that were in the works. Drummer Dale Crover's wife is expecting their first child, due September 4th. Late in the game it became obvious Dale needs to stay with her until the baby comes, especially if it's early. We wish them all the best!
Some US dates are in the works for later this fall and overseas in spring and / or summer. Meanwhile brace yourselves for more Biafra / Melvins recordings on the follow-up album, "Sieg Howdy" out late September!
The tune was also released as a limited-edition 3 band benefit single for Indian Ocean Tsunami relief . The other two tracks are from The Haunted ("Smut King") and Heaven Shall Burn ("Strassenkampf" [a Die Skeptikercover]). The bands and Jello Biafra wrote liner-notes for the single, which is limited to 1000 copies.
You can also check out more info about the Frankenchrist trial on the second Jello spoken word record, "High Priest of Harmful Matter". There's an excerpt from this release in the TAL episode too!
From their site:
Here's one of the e-mails we received @ AT, exactly as it came into our inbox. Enjoy!
"Subject: CHOMSKY SHERMAN BIAFRA SMITH AND OTHE DISAPEARED ACTVISTS FOUND BUT STILL HELD CAPTIVE BY ASIS
Dear revolutionaries, I have recently discovered that our comrades, Sherman Austin, Noam Chomsky, Jello Biafra, Winston Smith as well as CNT organisers and other revbolutionaries from Canada have been captured by ASIS, Australian Security Intelligence Service and are being held in the upper yarra vally located just south of Melbourne. This is not a cruel joke and this is not a myth. After discovering that these people had gone missing after arrivinfg in australia led me to discover that it is an aryan conspiracy that involves every authority figure in Australia. From the PM to the x police chief of Victoria. They are being held out bush in the sun and have received skin cancers. Biafra has had his limbs brocken and we fear Noam may be dead. This is an internation call to action, and we are encouraging everybody who has revolutionary aims in life to cxome to Australia IN NUMBERS. These people are still alive and are being made slave to ASIS and its disapearance network. We fear for ALL of our comrades and we need international support to help free these people from there ASIS slaveholders. I will be in touch with as much information as i can gather before i too am disapeared and drowned in a river n the upper yarra.THIS IS NO JOKE!
Please this needs as much independent medfia attenmtion as possible they are stil alive and we need international support for these people PLEASE HURRY!
Please forward this onto as many lists as you can and
create as much media attention as possible DON'T delay anymore"
Here's your chance to read unfiltered true life stories of the troops on the ground in Iraq- this is just one of many blogs maintained by military members overseas. Dig in!
JELLO BIAFRA: "This is Jello Biafra reporting from outside the infamous auction house, Sotheby's, where the Man in Black Bloc has converged upon the Tennessee republican delegation who has gone for a private viewing of items from the Estate of the late Johnny Cash. As Steve Earle would put it, "Johnny would be rolling in his grave."
...What would Johnny Cash think of Bush's illegal war in Iraq, let alone what he does to people of lesser means in the South and the rest of the United States? What would Johnny Cash think of mountaintop removal, for example, where the coal companies blow the whole top off of mountains in Appalachia, and if all the debris lands in the valley and buries people's homes and buries streams? They don't care. Why do they do it? Because they can.
So people are here to take back the spirit of Johnny Cash, or at least subject these republican fat cat scam artists to a little bit of the old spirit that goes back through Johnny Cash or as one of my friends in the Melvins put it, when Johnny Cash died he looked off wistfully and said he was our Abe Lincoln in a way. And so the people inside and the people at Sotheby's, they are going to sell Johnny's effects to rich people who want to buy a piece of Johnny Cash. And I guess the message from the protesters here is you cannot buy a piece of everybody, let alone have everybody lie down while you wreck the country with the PATRIOT Act and go off to illegal blood baths in the Middle East which accomplish nothing except creating more terrorists. "
Jello is scheduled to appear at a Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting media march on Wednesday, September 1. Jello will speak at 8pm in front of the CNN/NBC building at 6th Avenue and 56th Street. The march will begin at 6th Ave and 52nd St before the CNN stop, and will continue after the stop to Fox with more speakers to start between 8:45-9pm. For more information, visit http://www.marchonthemedia.org/
Jello is also scheduled to be on Air America tonight, time to be determined.
But that does not mean that the verdict and court rulings are the real truth any more than George Dubya was democratically elected president. They just got away with a lot of lies. O.J. Simpson would be proud.
What they have done to Dead Kennedys since their hostile takeover speaks for itself. Their money uber alles mentality has more in common with Dick Cheney than the vision and principles our band stood for.
I'm as proud of Dead Kennedys as I ever was. It seems obvious I love and respect what we accomplished far more than they ever will.
If they force me to blow the whistle again, I will. We'll continue to oppose the dumbing down and pimping of the DK catalogue, phony "reunion" shows (often with my likeness in the ads), selling my image into video games, their refusal to show me all the books, blah, blah, etc., etc.
Ending our defense against their main legal attack does not mean I endorse or recommend any Dead Kennedys releases on Decay Music, Manifesto, Plastic Head, Cleopatra, MVD, etc.
I can't. I'm too ashamed.- Jello Biafra

WCL has experienced some recent security threats (along with other area schools), and, in order to make sure that all students, staff, and alumni are safe at all times, new security procedures (in the building) have been put in place. They are designed to allow everyone to enjoy the site and keep security high.
Alumni visiting the building should sign in at the front desk in the lobby. Please show a photo ID.
The security personnel will give you a dated badge. This badge will allow you access to the building, including the Pence Law Library. If you do not have a badge, you must show a photo ID when entering the library.
In addition, please sign out when you leave the building. This will help us if there is an emergency and the building is evacuated. We want to know who is still in the building if we have to search.
In addition, while in the library, you will have free access to Westlaw and other online resources, but keep in mind:
- Just like any institution, you will need to pay for printing and other services
- Alumni can use computers on the first floor of the Pence Law Library. These computers do not have word processing functions. Second floor computers are designated for students
- Your alumni card will allow you to take out books (for WCL alumni only)

Give FreeBSD a try, if only so you can make a valid comparison. They say that Linux kernel 2.4.10 and higher gives FreeBSD 4.3 a run for the money as a server OS but I don't know if that's still true for FreeBSD 4.4 and higher. I'm running FreeBSD 4.5 Prelease and it's still the OS of choice for my gateway box.I might start running FreeBSD 4.4 on one of my boxes sometime next week. I'm deciding whether to use Red Hat 7.2 or FreeBSD 4.4 as my intranet web server
And, it's a very decent OS just for desktop duty.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Despite statements saying a decision was expected early this year, the moratorium on high-volume hydraulic fracturing -- better known as fracking -- continues with no end in sight.
The moratorium was put in place by former Governor David Paterson. Current Governor Andrew Cuomo says he is waiting on a health study by the New York State Department of Health before he makes up his mind on whether or not to allow the controversial form of natural gas drilling.
Calls placed to the health department were not returned.
Meantime, other states have moved forward with rules to regulate fracking, including California and Illinois.
2 On Your Side hosted two leading voices in the fracking debate. Dennis Holbrook, a director with the Independent Oil and Gas Association of New York, is pro-fracking. On the other side is Cornell Engineering Professor Dr. Anthony Ingraffea.
You can watch the debate between the two men in the video player.

degree requirements
SCSU offers a B.A. in Theatre. Students may also pursue a theatre minor in conjunction with a major in another field. The department does not offer a graduate degree.
Students must satisfy the degree requirements listed in the undergraduate catalog for the year they matriculate. These requirements may change from year to year. The requirements listed here are for students matriculating in the fall of 2012.
Click here to view our mission.
In addition to the general university requirements, Theatre majors must fulfill 40 credits within the department. Majors must take:
- THR 121 - Introduction to Performance
- THR 122 - Stage Speaking
- THR 131 - Principles of Theatrical Design
- THR 151 - Stagecraft I
- THR 211-212 - History of Theatre I and II
- THR 223 - Historic Dance for Actors
- THR 240 - Forms of Drama
- THR 296, 396 - Technical Theatre Production I and II (4 credits)
- An additional 12 elective credits of theatre and/or dramatic literature, approved by the department. See Areas of Specialization, below.
Also, any Theatre major who fails to maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.7 in theatre courses will not be allowed to participate in any departmental productions or department sponsored activities.
There are no specific requirements in the 18-credit theatre minor program. Students
should seek the advice of a department member in planning a program.
Acting and Directing (Performance)
This area focuses on all facets of the actor's and director's crafts, from improvisation and costuming to set construction, lighting, diction, and dance. Coursework also deals with developing audition skills. Students may also focus on creative dramatics, as an educational tool and leisure time activity for children, teens, and adults.
Design and Technical Theatre
Theatre designers and technical specialists create the visual elements and illusion that set the scene--and sometimes steal the show. Students in this specialization acquire an understanding of the underlying principles--and develop hands-on skill and confidence--in scenery, costume design, and construction; stage makeup, lighting, theatre architecture, and the nuts and bolts of stage management.
Musical Theatre
The student will have the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the history, procedures and techniques of being a musical theatre performer. The department features a variety of offerings from auditioning to performing; including courses in voice and dance.
Theatre Education
Encourages the group to actively engage and contribute to the learning process. Often this occurs through conventional play performances but also occurs through drama workshops.

A good entry-level interview question
I sense a background story to this… :-)
I was trying to think of a good background story to this, but I'm just not that creative :)It's just something that popped into my head – I was typing the "ALTER TABLE" today, and thought, "I bet this would confuse someone who didn't know the difference between DML and DDL".So, I'm a bit boring today.
Today's story – there was I pontificating about array fetch / bulk collect etc etc … when someone asks:"Excuse me, what's that SQL extension you are using at the bottom of the SQL. I've never seen it…"….. (long pause by me….)"Um…That would be the GROUP BY clause"Hmmmmm………
:)That's another good interview question: "Explain the difference between ORDER BY and GROUP BY."For advanced developers: "Is an ORDER BY required if a statement to be sorted already has a GROUP BY? Why?"
Hello Anonymous!I haven't checked my profile for ages – but not much has changed, really. Anyway, if I can convert just one iced-coffee-afficionado into a geek, or vice-versa, I will consider my mission to be complete :)
stage two :
ALTER TABLE t MODIFY x CONSTRAINT c NULL;
in which dictionary view(s) will you find the constraint c ?

A burglar or burglars with plenty of time to search went through the Carbon Recreation Department offices over the long weekend, making off with valuable, portable electronic gear.
Recreation director Steve Christensen said the building was entered by breaking a basement window, reaching through the hole in the glass, and raising the window.
"Whenever they did it, they had plenty of time to jimmy several doors and look around," Christensen said.
No computers or recreational gear were missing, but several cameras and GPS units were stolen. Price Police are investigating.

Comments about EVH Eddie Van Halen Low-Top Sneakers:
This shoe really looks cool and turns heads. I have had more than one person ask me where I got them. I hope they last me a while!
Crazy design shoes that look great on stage and walking around.
I have had them for about three weeks so I can't say anything about long term. Shoes seem to be holding up good, but I would put in a better quality sole in the shoe. My feet were sore after standing on a stage for an hour.
Not a bad price for a converse style shoe or any shoe in that family.
Comments about EVH Eddie Van Halen Low-Top Sneakers:
There great, looks really cool and there comfortable. These are the only coverse look I have and I always use them, the only problem is that if you dont use them lightly they will only last you for about 6 months maybe less. I,m not a super fan of Eddie Van Halen, but I do like his guitar color.

One night in July, Gilbert Villarreal and three of his engineers tucked in to a dinner at On the Border restaurant in Auburn Hills, Mich. Villarreal's company had landed a contract to build a small fleet of plug-in hybrid commercial vans, but production was imperiled by the looming bankruptcy of battery maker A123, in Livonia, Mich. Where were they going to get the batteries?
The car that stole the show
The VL Destino marries a Corvette engine to the body of a Fisker Karma sedan. Dan Neil explains why this wildcat of a car stole the Detroit Auto Show.
Then someone wondered aloud: What are those guys over at Fisker going to do? Like Villarreal's plug-in utility van, the sleek, six-figure Fisker Karma—an electric sedan-coupe built in Finland by Henrik Fisker, the former design chief at BMW and Aston Martin—has at its core a whopping 20-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack sourced from A123. The Karma's troubles were well known: overdrawn, overpromised, overweight. The company had to recall hundreds of cars to patch a fault in the A123 battery.
One of the engineers mused: Somebody at Fisker should just drop a Corvette ZR1 engine in the Karma and be done with it.
Villarreal thought: I know how to do that.
What came next blows my mind. It is such a wonderful tale of resourcefulness, common sense, blowtorch engineering and the love of the automobile. Villarreal called his flying buddy and partner in a watchmaking venture, former GM executive and famed car guy Bob Lutz, to ask if he could get Fisker's consent to such a conversion. At a lunch meeting in Los Angeles in July, Fisker agreed to sell 20 Karma "gliders" (cars without powertrains); his only condition was that the finished cars be visually distinct from the EV Karma.
And that is how the world came by the VL Destino, a very bad Karma indeed, with the supercharged, 638-horsepower Corvette engine shoved, but barely, under a new, Vette-like hood bulge.
Also, the Karma's notorious mustache-like front was trimmed with a new fascia, drawn by none other than Lutz himself, on cellophane, laid over a lovely artist's rendering that had been sent to him for approval.
The Destino debuted at this week's Detroit auto show, not on the main floor at Cobo Hall but in a modest two-car display out in the lobby, far from the global spotlight. Lutz, 80, who retired as vice chairman of General Motors GM, +0.58% three years ago, was his usual undiminished self.
"People say, 'Well, it looks like a Maserati,' and I say, 'And your point is?' "
The back story for the VL Automotive (Villarreal and Lutz) effort is a lush jungle of ironies. You have Bob Lutz, a cigar-smoking ex-Marine aviator known in the car world as Maximum Bob, the climate-change denier who championed the GM bailout and the Chevrolet Volt; and Fisker, the Anaheim, Calif.-based luxury-EV auto maker founded by Henrik Fisker, whose company's federal loan guarantees hang in the balance as it struggles with bad press and bad luck (300 Karmas were destroyed at New Jersey's Port Newark during superstorm Sandy). There's enough ashes to dine on for everyone.
Because of its direct kinship, the Destino can piggyback on the Corvette's emissions certification as well as the Karma's crash-testing data, since none of the car's load-path structure has been altered.
But for the moment, let's contemplate the machine. Here you have to use your imagination, because the two prototypes shown were pretty rough. None of the Karma's instrument software, the graphical flowcharts and gauges for the EV range and power depletion, has been recoded. Because the Destino is lighter by at least 1,100 pounds (no massive battery pack), its ride height and suspension kinematics will have to be completely recalibrated, if the pieces themselves do not require remanufacturing.
Virtual aerodynamics testing, systems integration, graphics. There's plenty of work to be done. And yet, a lot is already behind them. Because of its direct kinship, the Destino can piggyback on the Corvette's emissions certification as well as the Karma's crash-testing data, since none of the car's load-path structure has been altered. "And if they ask us to crash one, we'll crash one," said Lutz.

Jacob S. Johnson picked up the paperwork Thursday to start his fight to keep the chain-link fence at his Mullin Street home.
Mr. Johnson put up the fence at 261 Mullin St. despite knowing and being told by city code enforcement officials that it would violate parts of Watertowns fence ordinance.
On Thursday, he picked up the packet to start obtaining a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals. If he turnsin the papers by today, the matter likely will be heard at the ZBAs Oct. 16 meeting.
Before that, he plans to attend the Oct. 7 City Council meeting to lobby for a change in the fence ordinance.
Since the controversy began, Mr. Johnson said, he has received lots of support from where it counts about his plans to fight City Hall over the fence he installed on a side yard, where he completed an extensive landscaping project that includes an in-ground pool. He claimed he has received a couple of hundred text messages, phone calls and messages on Facebook from people who are backing him.
And he continues to say he will do whatever he can to keep the fence.
According to the code enforcement office, he failed to obtain a permit for the fence. It also violates the ordinance because chain-link fences are prohibited in residential areas within 20 feet of the street, and because the fence is within 5 feet of Mr. Johnsons two neighbors driveways less than 20 feet from the street.
In a Sept. 19 letter to Mr. Johnson, city attorney James A. Burrows wrote that he had five days to come into compliance. If that did not happen, Mr. Burrows warned, he could take the matter to court to achieve compliance.
If it goes to court, the city can issue an appearance ticket for City Court or obtain a court order from state Supreme Court to get Mr. Johnson to comply with the ordinance, Mr. Burrows said Thursday. He said it would be up to City Manager Sharon A. Addison to decide which strategy to take. Ms. Addison was out of the office Thursday afternoon and could not be reached for comment.
But Councilman Jeffrey M. Smith said it would not be a good idea to back down from making Mr. Johnson take down the fence because it would set a precedent. Other people who violate city codes then would expect the same treatment, he said.
He clearly and blatantly violated the ordinance, Mr. Smith said. I dont think it would be fair for other people who follow the law.
Mr. Johnson has contended he improved the neighborhood by completing the project. It replaces a side yard hidden from the street by a row of overgrown bushes. He said he also was forced to install a fence to comply with state law for pools.
Mr. Johnson also has blamed the problem on an amendment that the City Council passed nearly two years ago that prohibits a fence less than 5 feet from a neighbors driveway when the fence is within 20 feet of the street. It was passed to appease a single Haley Street resident who complained that her neighbor installed a fence so close to her driveway that she could not safely back out of it.
Code enforcement officials have said they were just following what the City Council passed in 2011. The Code Enforcement office had no choice but to enforce it.

Comments about Inked by Evans McWhite Series Kick Drumhead:
I bought these for my son actually, and I thought they would add some decoration to his kit. However I found that the head paint comes off, almost like wiping dust off of a table. The price is also a bit high, but I think you have to put them in an area, not around sun, they might last longer, I still do think Evans is great company, but these just kind of bring the company down.

A Utah senator's decision not to seek another term at the Legislature, a Carbon commissioner's resignation and officials opting to give up or try for different government seats prompted a large number of filings for the November election.
The election results will change Carbon County's representation on everything from the state senate to the school board.
Last November, Carbon Commissioner Steve Burge announced he would vacate his seat on the county government because he was moving to Salt Lake to take a job. Then a couple of weeks ago, Senator Mike Dmitrich announced that, after spending 40 years on Capitol Hill, he would not run for re-election.
Almost immediately, Dmitrich's move began to shake up the order of things in the area. Within a day, Utah Rep. Brad King announced he had filed for Dmitrich's seat. King's decision left his Utah House of Representatives seat open to all comers.
Consequently, local voters will have different names to choose from on the 2008 ballot.
Right now, there are more than half a dozen candidates filing for some of the open offices at the state and county level.
However, voters will not have all of the names to pick from in November because the county caucuses and state party conventions will pare the numbers down in the next few weeks.
At the local level, candidates filing for the Utah Senate District 27 position include King, a Democrat from Price; David Hinkins a Republican from Orangeville; Richard Moss, a Republican from Spanish Fork; and Robert J. Armstrong, a Constitution Party contender from Spanish Fork.
In the Utah House of Representatives District 67, the candidates include incumbent Patrick Painter, a Republican from Mona; and Feleni Siufanua, a Democrat from Payson. District 67 represents the western portion of Carbon County.
A number of candidates from Price have filed to run in the Utah House District 69 race, including Republican Jerry B. Anderson, Democrat Kay Colosimo, Democrat Christine Watkins and Democrat Grady McEvoy.
McEvoy's entry into the state race brings about an opening on the Carbon County Board of Education, where he has served for several years.
In 2008, there are two county commission seats open, the one Burge vacated and the one currently occupied by Democrat Mike Milovich of Price.
Milovich's bid for re-election to the county commission will be challenged by Jae Potter, a Republican from Price, and Douglas Trease, a Democrat from Price.
The seat vacated by Burge for the county commissioner/surveyor position has six candidates vying for the job.
Democratic candidates include Neil Breinholt from Price, Mikel Johnson from Price, John Jones from Helper, Kenji Otani from Helper and Robert Welch from Helper. Gerald Lloyd of Price is running for the seat as a Republican.
In the district one school board race, Barry Deeter is running unopposed in Helper.
In the district two school board seat representing south Price and Carbonville, incumbent Debra Blackburn will be opposed by Maurine Tanner.
The district three central Price board of education seat vacated by McEvoy is being sought by one candidate, Jeffrey Richens.
At the federal level, Congressman Jim Matheson's seat is up for grabs.
Candidates filing for the United States House of Representatives District 2 position are Matheson, a Democrat from Salt Lake, and six Republicans along with one Libertarian and one Constitution Party challenger.
The Republicans challeging Matheson's bid for re-election include Brian Jenkins, Chris Jacobs, Merrill Cook, Kenneth Gray, Bill Dew and Donald Ferguson. Mathew Arndt from the Libertarian Party and Dennis Ray Emery from the Constitution party also filed for the congressional seat.
For the governor's office, incumbent Republican Jon Huntsman has filed a bid for re-election. Huntsman will be challenged by Democrat Matt Frandsen from Bountiful, Democrat Bob Springmeyer from Salt Lake, Republican Charles Smith from Farmington and Libertarian Dell Schaze from Sandy.
Two candidates are running for the lieutenant governor's office. Incumbent Republican Gary Herbert from Orem will be opposed by Democrat James Sander from Bountiful.
The state attorney general's office race has three candidates, Republican incumbent Mark Shurtleff from Sandy, Democrat Jean Welch Hill from Holladay and Libertarian W. Andrew McCollough from Lehi

OGDENSBURG The citys ongoing waterfront redevelopment plan is about more than condominiums, town houses, shops, stores and marinas.
Its also about culture, the arts, tourism and leisure-time pursuits.
A Rediscovering the Waterfront workshop will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Thursday at the Freight House Restaurant, 20 Market St.
The workshop will precede a pair of public meetings at the Dobisky Visitors Center, 100 Riverside Ave., on the topic of waterfront development a community open house will be from 3 to 5 p.m., and a community workshop will be from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.
City Planning and Development Director Andrea L. Smith said Thursday that the workshop will bring together several special-interest organizations for an exchange of ideas about business strategies and promotions.
Its to have a conversation about what we have and how to make connections, Ms. Smith said.
Those invited to attend the workshop include officials from Ogdensburg Command Performances, Pickens Hall in Heuvelton, Traditional Arts in Upstate New York, Canton, the Greater Ogdensburg Chamber of Commerce and Singer Castle, Hammond.
All three meetings will be hosted by Vita Nuova, the Connecticut consulting firm that is advising the city on administering a Brownfields Opportunity Area study on residential and commercial development along the shoreline between Park Street and the former Diamond International site off Mansion Avenue.
Vita Nuova will deliver a report on its findings with recommendations to the City Council in June.

Kleptomania is the inability to resist impulses to steal. The things that are stolen are not needed for personal use. They are also not taken for their monetary value. This is a rare condition.
The exact cause of kleptomania is not known. Chemical imbalances in the brain may play a role.
Risk Factors
Kleptomania often occurs with other psychological disorders. These include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Substance abuse, such as alcoholism and drug abuse
- Eating disorders, such as anorexia and bulimia
- Other impulse control disorders
Other risk factors include:
- Having a family history of the condition
- Having a brain injury
Kleptomania appears to be more common in females than in males. There are no other known risk factors.
Symptoms of kleptomania include all of the following:
- A repeated inability to resist impulses to steal things that are not of personal value
- A feeling of relief, joy, and/or pleasure when stealing things
- Feeling of guilt or remorse after the event
- Thefts that are not committed out of anger or revenge
- Lack of a better explanation for the theft, such as another psychological disorder
Kleptomania is different from shoplifting or ordinary theft, which is:
- Deliberate
- Motivated by the stolen item's usefulness or monetary value
- The result of a dare, an act of rebellion, or a rite of passage
A psychiatrist or psychologist will diagnose kleptomania when:
- All of the symptoms of kleptomania are present
- There is no other, better explanation for repeated thefts
- Kleptomania is not an excuse for shoplifting or ordinary theft
Treatment may involve treating an underlying disease. Other treatments include:
Counseling or Therapy
Counseling or therapy may be in a group or one-to-one setting. It is usually aimed at dealing with underlying psychological problems that may be contributing to kleptomania. It may also include:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy
- Behavior modification therapy
- Family therapy
Stress reduction techniques, including medication, yoga, or tai chi, may also be taught in therapy.
Drugs used for treatment include antidepressants, mood stabilizers, medications to treat drug addiction, and medications to treat seizure disorders.

MASSENA Cape Air will continue to offer flights in and out of Massena International Airport as the result of a two-year renewal of its federal subsidy announced Monday.
Cape Air operates in Massena and Ogdensburg through a contract with the federal Essential Air Service program, which is designed to cover small, rural markets that commercial carriers might not otherwise serve. Cape Airs contract for Ogdensburg was not up for renewal this year, according to Sen. Charles E. Schumers office, which announced the renewed Massena contract. The company is based in Barnstable, Mass.
Since Cape Air began its Massena service in 2008, Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray said, the number of riders has continually increased, with a significant jump occurring in 2011 when the airline introduced connecting flights to Boston.
According to Mr. Gray, the airline served 3,298 passengers in 2010, a number that increased to 4,383 in 2011 and 4,773 in 2012. This year got off to a solid start with 343 passengers served in January.
Were continuing to see an uptick, Mr. Gray said.
The service from Cape Air has been stellar, he said. They are a very reliable company, and we are pleased to have them at Massena International Airport.
Mr. Gray noted that finding an airline to serve the north country can be difficult, and hes thankful for the federal subsidy that helps ensure service for the people in the Massena area.
Its not an easy thing to attract carriers, he said, adding Cape Air was the only airline that sought the contract. Obviously the subsidy from the federal government helps; it wouldnt happen without it.
Under the contract, Cape Air will continue to offer three nonstop flights each day to Albany, which offer connecting service to Boston.
If people are looking to go to Albany for business, its great, down and back in one day; and if people are going beyond Albany, great connections are available, he said.
There is no question about it: Access to air travel is good for businesses, good for jobs and good for the financial health of the community, and Im pleased to announce that service from Massena to Boston will continue through 2015, Mr. Schumer said in a statement. Having local and affordable air service in your region shouldnt be a special privilege reserved for a lucky few, and Cape Airs new contract at Massena International Airport will bring more opportunities for St. Lawrence County and north country residents and businesspeople.

Need a bigger pack for family trips this year. My ULA Circuit was usable for single night trips last year, carried fine, but very tight on space. Won't cut it for multi-night trips.Need at least 60L in the main part of the pack (the Circuit's is 48L), and the ability to comfortably carry 35 lbs (i.e. a frame or very effective stays). Lighter than 3 lbs would be nice, but must be lighter than 4 lbs. Cost < $400, so that rules out custom McHales and such.My research so far:1. Per the website, the ULA Catalyst doesn't really have much more volume than the Circuit (an extra 300 cubic inches in the main bag + extension collar). Bummer, because I like the Circuit. Can anyone verify this?2. Many of the major brands(Osprey, Gregory, Deuter, Granite Gear, etc.) have light packs but often top out on volume right at 60L. I plan to try on a Granite Gear Blaze and Deuter Act Zero or Act Lite, and an Osprey Atmos 65. All are either a bit smaller or heavier than I'd like. Am I missing any obvious choices?3. Golite's website appears to finally show their packs back in stock. How is the latest version of the Quest?4. The HMG Porter 4400 looks perfect on paper (huge and crazy light), if its comfortable enough. How does its comfort and load carrying ability compare to all the other 3-4 lb packs of similar size? It seems too good to be true (light, big, carries loads well?).Any input appreciated. Thanks.
I think the Osprey Aether 85 is a great family pack. Depend on how light you want to go. One pound in pack weight in a pack that size and carrying that volume is not a big deal.
I have a Osprey Aether 70 pack for sale. Lightly used. I'm asking $ 140.00 plus shipping and paypal % . Might be what your looking for.
Maybe ULA would do a custom catalyst with a longer extension collar to get more space.Maybe a Six moon designs starlite with stay.For family trips I use an old MEC Serratus pack that after trimming and lid removal weighs a tad under 4 lbs and is about 60 L.
Edited by GregF on 04/06/2013 22:01:54 MDT.
My wife and I love our ACT lites. Inexpensive, reasonably light, comfy, great volume. That being said, I recently picked up an external frame jansport scout, and plan to use it on my next trip. Removing two unnecessary bars it weighs less than my Deuter, should be less sweaty, and should be at least as comfy if not more so. We'll see, but so far in the house it is all of those.You could pick one up on Craigslist for $20-$30, and it can have as much volume as you want if you need to strap stuff outside the pack. Bear can fits perfect under the pack...
The 4400 Porter is worth a shot. If you like it, seems like it could be a "do-it-all" pack for you.There's also the Exped Lightning 60: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=75347Not sure if it would be big enough for you, but it may be worth trying out.
My wife bought me the Porter (expedition) about 1.5 years ago for family trips. Before that, I used to use a Dana Designs terra plane (about 7 lb for pack alone).I'm pretty happy with the expedition pack, and it has become my go-to winter pack as well. The compression system is great. I've shrunk it pretty well around 9 lb of gear and had it stuffed to the gills with probably 35-40 lbs of gear. Not sure about exact weight, as I make it a practice not to weigh family stuff, but I carried 3 sleeping bags, 3 pads, tent, extra changes of kids clothes, sweaters, jackets, real food, kids toys, etc....It is a great platform for strapping skis and snowshoes, is built tough, has just the right amount of padding, and the waterproofing is nice. Overall a great pack that I would buy again in a heartbeat. As far as weaknesses, a wraparound hip belt would do a much better job when carrying heavy loads. I also have slight concerns about the way a couple seams were sewn (see below), but this has not yet manifested as a problem.When you're with Dora it's time to exploreSeam under tension. I reinforced this area with seam grip and have seen no change with use.See the thorough rolling review on this pack by RJ for durability info.
I have the newer Golite Quest 65L pack and I love it. It's frame goes to the middle of the hip belt and carries weight very well. They also make a 80L version as well. Plus, they're really affordable.
Thanks for all the comments. From Ike on the HMG Porter: "As far as weaknesses, a wraparound hip belt would do a much better job when carrying heavy loads."Not sure I follow you. How far around does the hipbelt go? I have a 30 inch waist, so most hipbelts wrap plenty around me.
If you imagine the base of a pack in cross-section to resemble a rectangle, the hip-belt attaches at the corners, forming sort of a semi-circle: A Wraparound hipbelt would attach closer to, but not at, the centre of the side contacting the back of your hip girdle(near or at the base of the stays), forming a shape closer to that of your hips and, in general, giving better load transfer.Hope that makes a bit of sense,Dave
Edited by dapperdave on 04/07/2013 13:53:00 MDT.
What Dave said.Don't get me wrong though. It is a great pack and well worth considering. I just don't like giving glowing reviews without presenting pros and cons.
If you don't like the HMG Porter another option would be a Zimmerbuilt custom pack. I have one of his packs and like it a lot but I think the HMG packs carry heavy loads better. If you want cheap pack look for the Jansport "Big Bear" pack. My brother picked up one for about $50 online and has carried some pretty heavy loads in it. It weighs about 4 pounds but that extra $350 could buy lots of other UL gear.
Osprey volt 75 weighs 3lbs 12oz (manufacturers specs), supposed to go to 50 lbs of carry or so and very adjustable. Only costs $200 before any discounts. Might look into that
Definitely consider the Porter 4400 or alternatively ask HMG to fabricate a Windrider 4400 for you. Great carry. I should note, however, that these are slim, tall packs that some folks don't care for (pack above your shoulders).On of the most comfortable 60L packs that I have used is the Granite Gear Nimbus Meridian. Better suspension than the blaze and custom shoulder harness and belt. The belt rotates and the shoulder straps will also rotate to your specific shoulder width. You can leave the top pocket at home and get it close to 3 lbs but that may be too heavy for you. Still, an excellent off the shelf carry.
I started backpacking with an Osprey Aether 70 and now use a Circuit and have a Blaze for a backup. I'd love to sell the Osprey but with four small kids I know I'm going to end up carrying way more than the other two will handle at some point. It's a good pack. Just heavy.
Edited by cwb on 04/07/2013 22:18:09 MDT.
http://www.elementalhorizons.com/aquilo-pack.aspxThe Elemental Horizons Aquilo is 56 L in the main sack for a large. Not sure how well it carries 35lb. Not many people seem to have one, but those who do seem happy.A full Dyneema version is available as a custom.
+1 for the Aquilo.I carried 40+ lb in mine on the Larrapinta trail, and it carried well. The harness is extremely comfortable. Matthew is happy to do custom work, and made my pack with strategically placed Dyneema panels. Great workmanship. Word is starting to get out about just how good these packs are for load hauling. ;)
@Chris. That's good to hear. I am seriously considering one of these as a family trips pack.
If you want, I can sell you my Golite terrono 90L in a large for the price for which I bought it or I will return it this week. This is a relatively light load hauler. It is extremely comfortable and it has an even stiffer center stay and rail system than the new GoLite Quests. Therefore, I think it will do better with 50 + pounds than my Quest 80L. The Terrono also has a much wider and stiffer belt. You can see the great review that Backpacker gave it here:http://www.backpacker.com/fall-winter-gear-guide-2011-gear-review-golite-terrono-90/gear/15889and its specs here:http://www.golite.com/Ms-Terrono-90L-P958.aspxa video here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmVumgu9AsYI am only returning the Terrono because the hip belt was too big for my skinny body. I need a medium. Please tell me if you want it soon for 99 dollars (the retail price) because I only used it once so GoLite offered to let me exchange it for the retail price. I hope my size medium Quest 80L works out because it has a much more flexible frame than what I'm used to for a big load hauler.
"From Ike on the HMG Porter: "As far as weaknesses, a wraparound hip belt would do a much better job when carrying heavy loads."Not sure I understand this comment. The Porter does have a wrap around belt, secured by tensioning straps that pull the entire bottom of the pack (lumbar and side) into the belt. It effectively secures the stays to the belt.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
It's not often during deer season, especially the day before the general rifle hunt opens, that a live deer bounding away is sight for all to see. Last Friday, though, it happened just that way.
Early Friday morning, Brian Harris, plant manager for Price River Water Improvement District's waste water treatment plant in Wellington, saw something unusual in the field where a line sprinkler system spreads treated effluent.
"I came down the road off the hill over there and I saw something lying in the field near the sprinkler line," said Harris that morning. "We often have deer grazing out in the field but this one was lying down. Then I realized that he was caught in one of the ropes we use to pull the line around."
Harris immediately called PRIWID's office on Fairgrounds Road. He also called the Utah State Division of Wildlife Resources, who dispatched Brad Crompton, a wildlife biologist for the division, to see what could be done to untangle the animal.
While people see DWR personnel along the Wasatch Front on television often using a drug to put animals out to untangle them from fences or other things, Crompton said that if they don't have to do that, they often don't.
"There are side effects to using those and I would rather not if we can find another way," he said. "Tranquilizers can give the animal more stress and he was already exhausted from fighting the rope."
With personnel from the plant, Crompton approached the little two point buck which obviously had wrapped the rope around its horns over and over again. It had been lying there very despondent, like it would never get away. But once it saw the men approaching, it jumped up and ran to the other side of the irrigation line. Crompton and Harris were able to grab hold of the rope. Crompton finally tackled the animal and sat on top with Harris while James Edwards, another PRWID employee, untangled the rope from the horns. As soon as that was done, Crompton took a few moments to examine the deer to be sure it was not injured. Then he and Harris let it stand up.
It bounded down the hay field, as quickly as it could go, toward the Price River and the sheltering reeds and Russian olive trees along its banks.
"He'll be okay; the rope was only tangled around his antlers," said Crompton. "He was pretty exhausted. He'll go lay down for the rest of the day and rest."
Responding to this kind of a situation is not something Crompton does all the time, but he says it does happen.
"We usually see this kind of thing where they get caught in something a couple of times a year," he said. "In this case, he was already immobilized and pretty tired by the time we got to him."
Crompton also said that deer, even small ones like this (130 lbs.), can be dangerous to the common person. If people find wild animals in distress, they should never approach them, no matter how cute or friendly they may look. They can hurt or kills someone when they are basically cornered, like the deer was on the end of the rope. A few years ago, a little boy in northern Utah was killed while trying to free a deer from a fence in which it was tangled.
"The front legs can hurt [a person] but their back legs can do some real damage to someone," said Crompton. "One time, I had some pretty thick coveralls on when we had a deer we needed to work with. By the time I was done, they were in shreds."
So all was well that ended well in Wellington, because of some caring professionals.
