First off; I have a 2008 Tundra Crewmax SR5 4x4 5.7L.
I used this brand-new truck for the last 2 days with no problems at all. I get in it this morning and notice the dash is all lit up.
The "VSC Off" light blinking, "4LO" light blinking, "Check Engine" light is on and the Slip Indicator light is on while driving. When I stop, put it in Neutral to try to switch to 4LO I get a constant beeping alarm.
When I push the Slip Indicator light, nothing happens. I hold it for 3 seconds...nothing happens. I am bringing it to the dealer right now and get this mess straightened out.
If anyone else has dealt with this or knows what could be the possible cause, please post here and let me know what's going on!
Thanks for reading!

Fresh produce saw positive dollar and volume sales in the first quarter of 2013, a strong start to the year. Organic fruits and vegetables and value-added categories also posted positive overall dollar and volume growth compared to the same period last year, according to the latest edition of FreshFacts on Retail, the quarterly retail research report of the United Fresh Foundation.
A 4.9% increase in average retail price led to a 7% increase in average dollar sales for the produce department and a volume increase of 2% compared to Q1 2012. Fruit increased dollar sales nearly 8% in Q1 2013, with vegetable dollar growth close behind at 5.7%. Total volume for fruits and vegetables increased 1.4% and 2.1%, respectively.
The FreshFacts on Retail report, produced in partnership with the Nielsen Perishables Group and sponsored by Del Monte Fresh Produce, measures retail price and sales trends for the top 10 fruit and vegetable commodities, as well as value-added, organic and other produce categories.
Highlights of this quarter's report include:
· Nine of the top 10 fruits posted dollar growth that exceeded Q1 2012. Citrus, apples, specialty fruits and melons each experienced double-digit increases that generally corresponded with higher retail prices.
· Half of the top 10 vegetable categories increased both dollar and volume sales compared to the same quarter last year, with nine categories showing strong increased dollar sales regardless of relatively modest retail price increases.
· Value-added fruits increased dollar and volume sales by 10.7% and 2.9%, respectively. Fresh-cut fruit continued to dominate with 81.5% of category sales during Q1 2013.
· Three of the top four value-added vegetable categories increased volume sales by double digits, supported by steady average retail pricing. Overall, value-added vegetables increased dollar sales 12.7% and volume sales 12.1% during Q1 2013
· Organic fruits increased dollar sales 24.4% and organic vegetables increased dollar sales 14.9%.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe has awarded three grants aimed at strengthening the state's agriculture and forestry industries.
McAuliffe awarded the planning grants from the Governor's Agriculture and Forestry Industries Development Fund on Wednesday.
Franklin County received a $15,000 grant to help Ferrum College implement a plan to make locally produced food a part of the county's economic development strategy.
The city of Charlottesville and Albemarle County is getting $35,000 for a business plan for a flash freezing and light food processing hub for food bound for institutional customers such as the University of Virginia, Virginia Area Agencies on Aging and specialty grocery retailers.
Pittsylvania County got a $10,000 grant to conduct a feasibility study focused on attracting integrated poultry companies to the county.

The verdicts in, for one of the biggest business scandals in U.S. History.
Enron founder Kenneth Lay and former CEO Jeffrey SKilling were convicted of fraud and conspiracy in Houston yesterday.
Lay says he still believes he's innocent of charges that he illegally covered up Enron's finances before the company's collapse.
He says despite the trial outcome, he remains blessed by his family and friends and his religious faith remains unshaken.
Lay posted a 5 million dollar bond with family-owned properties at a hearing following the verdict.
He was ordered to surrender his passport, stay in the region, avoid contact with victims, and keep clear of gun ownership, alcohol and drugs.

Hello Everyone--
Happy Guy Fawkes Day and Bonfire Night to everyone in the United Kingdom!
Within the site, the Jupiter Media Metrix Search Engine Ratings page has been updated. It shows how some portals made slight gains after the closures of Go and NBCi. It also has a detailed look at the growth of Google in contrast to AltaVista's decline.

Search Engine Strategies Conference Coming To Dallas & Copenhagen
Did you miss the Search Engine Strategies conferences held earlier this year in the United States? Don't worry -- you've got one more chance in 2001. On November 14 & 15, Search Engine Strategies will be coming to Dallas, Texas.
Once again, I've organized two days' worth of sessions packed with information about search engine marketing. If you are a beginner and know little, the conference will bring you up to speed. Advanced? There are plenty of in-depth sessions to choose from. Been to Search Engine Strategies before? There are a number of new and improved panels.
In addition to creating the event program, I'll also be speaking at the conference, along with other search engine marketing experts. There will also be speakers from the major search engines themselves, including About.com, AltaVista, Ask Jeeves, FAST Search, Google, Inktomi, LookSmart and Overture (GoTo).
Search Engine Strategies is also returning to Europe this year, coming to Copenhagen on December 12. I'll be speaking at that event, along with other experts and search engine representatives. The program is being organized by I-Search moderator Detlev Johnson and European-based search engine marketing expert Mikkel deMib Svendsen.
Those interested in sponsoring or exhibiting at the events should contact Frank Fazio Jr, email@example.com, for more information. Those interested in attending can find conference agendas and more information via the URLs below. For Dallas, be sure to see the "Conference at a Glance" page, if you've come before, for a rundown on what's new.

Lycos Redeems Itself With Relaunch

It's been some time since I would have suggested that anyone turn to Lycos to search for anything, but today's relaunch of Lycos is a surprising reversal of the service's decline. If you gave up on Lycos in the past, it is well worth revisiting the improved service.
The Lycos of the past year or so was a terrible mishmash of poor results and confusion. Queries on popular topics tended to bring back results that simply recirculated you back into content only from Lycos. Paid listings were placed at the top of the page as "Featured Listings," then also often stuffed into the "Popular" area, then usually inserted again as another "Featured Listings" detour in the middle of the editorial results.
These past sins are now forgiven. The new layout is clean, well-delineated and features high-quality listings provided by FAST Search. While I'd still give Google the relevancy edge, the improvements FAST Search has made in the past few months have made it an extremely strong contender in the relevancy race.
The changes at Lycos came right as I was finishing the newsletter (of course), so I'll do a fast rundown of the results page and highlight the key points:
You'll usually see three paid listings from Overture (GoTo), at the top of the results page, and these are well identified by the new "Sponsored Search Listings" heading. I think this is much clearer for those who want to know where paid listings appear, and Lycos deserves praise for making the change.
The "Web Results" area is where you will find crawler-based listings provided by FAST. However, if Lycos has its own content relevant to your search, this may appear as the number one listing and is noted as "From The Lycos Network." It's a compact way to alert you to the company's own information, which certainly may be useful, without getting in the way of results across the web, for those who want them.
Lycos is still making use of human-compiled information from the Open Directory, but users are given access to this now through category links that appear below the crawler-based results, within the "Categories" section at the bottom of the results page. Take a moment and review these options -- you may find that a category link helps you narrow in on what you are looking for better than the numbered listings.
Be aware that if you search again using the box at the bottom of the results page, your search will be run only against Open Directory information, not against the crawler-based listings, as was the case with your original search. I think this may be confusing to some people and personally would prefer that the box operate by default just as it does from the Lycos home page.
If you do want to search again against the crawler-based listings, the easiest thing is to scroll back up to the top of the results page, and use the search box there.
The new listing format officially went live today, though you may have encountered it since late last week. The Lycos home page also sports a new look, and the navigational theme and icons at the top of the page carry through to other Terra Lycos-owned web sites, such as HotBot.
Desperately Seeking Search Engine Marketing Standards
It seems that every so often, someone makes a new push to suggest that the search engine marketing industry needs to establish standards of conduct. The idea usually dies away from a lack of support. However, a new effort is underway from several different parties that might have more luck. They'll need that luck, because the barriers to establishing standards remain substantial.

Congratulations! You're A Search Engine Marketer!
As the nature of search engine promotion has expanded and matured, the label "search engine optimization" hasn't seemed to cover what some companies and individuals feel they do. But what should come to replace it, if anything?
The venerable phrase "search engine optimization" originally emerged to cover the optimization that was done for crawler-based search engines. Now directories are a big part of the search engine mix, as are paid listing services. In many cases, you aren't really "optimizing" for these other venues, but you certainly are doing work that can influence how people are listed.
Personally, my preferred successor term is "search engine marketing." I've been using that since the middle of last year in some cases, especially when describing what's taught at the Search Engine Strategies conferences.
I've like the term because I feel it encompasses many things: optimizing for crawlers, managing paid listings, submitting to directories -- you name it. All of these activities are marketing on search engines.
I've never really pushed that term much in my writings, primarily because I didn't want to introduce yet more jargon into an industry that can already be confusing to newcomers. Indeed, it's only been until relatively recently that I've felt the phrase "search engine optimization" or the acronym "SEO" has begun to mean anything to those outside the immediate industry.
I've now changed my mind, primarily due to a poll that happened on the I-Search mailing list in September. Various terms were suggested to readers, and "search engine marketing" came out on top, with 39 percent of the votes. Just behind was "search engine optimization," with 35 percent.
It was close enough to make me think about sticking with SEO just for consistency. However but the desire for a broader term is clearly there, so I'm going to make the change. I'll still make use of "search engine optimization" in my writings, but this will begin to diminish over time and be replaced by search engine marketing.
What about all those other terms, such as "search engine submission," "search engine registration" or "search engine positioning?" On my "Intro To Search Engine Submission" page below, you'll find some specific definitions for each of these terms. Remember, these are my definitions only. Others may choose to use the same terms to mean different things. However, if you like my definitions, then certainly feel free to use them.

Searching The AOL Time Warner Way
Netscape Search used to be a powerhouse in the search world, because so many people were routed to it via the Netscape browser. Those heady days have declined, as Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser now commands the lion share of web users. However, Netscape Search has a new lease on life, via the AOL Time Warner network.

No one doubts that Yahoo is one of the web's most popular portals. However, unlike its major rivals MSN and AOL, Yahoo has no "browser advantage" to drive traffic to its web site, a weakness that the new "Yahoo Essentials" program for Internet Explorer aims to correct.
By browser advantage, I mean the fact that because so many people use Internet Explorer or AOL's own software, Microsoft and AOL Time Warner have the ability to drive millions to their online properties. In contrast, Yahoo lacks any natural advantage.
Traditionally, Yahoo has gained users through its brand recognition. In the same way that word of mouth now drives people to Google, so too did Yahoo gain users, in the past. Yahoo still gains users this way, but it also has advertising as another method to bring them in. Now, the company is eyeing Internet Explorer as a new traffic generator.
Searchwise, the new Yahoo Essentials tool changes Internet Explorer's behavior so that searches conducted within the address bar resolve to Yahoo, rather than through MSN Search. Additionally, the Internet Explorer search button is also changed to query Yahoo.
The idea of jumping into the browser to get users isn't new. Google's toolbar, though it doesn't change any of IE's settings, still provides IE users with easy access to the search engine (and if you haven't gotten it, do so. It's an outstanding tool). AltaVista and Lycos also released IE enhancements, in the past.
Even Yahoo had a "Companion" tool that added a search box to IE, similar to how the Google Toolbar works. However, Yahoo has upped the ante by going beyond simply adding on to Internet Explorer in favor of modifying it.
Meanwhile, Yahoo and MSN squabbled among themselves last month over who had the largest audience. Yahoo cited figures from NetRatings to back its claim, while MSN used those from Jupiter Media Metrix.
To complicate matters, NetRatings has now acquired Jupiter Media Metrix, which means the favorite game of citing figures from the company that shows you best will now be harder to play, for web operators such as Yahoo and MSN.
Finally, as if having Yahoo go after its users was not enough, a recent change to the MSN site caused those not using Internet Explorer to get an error message saying they needed to get a better browser. Internet Explorer was the suggested option. After an outcry, Microsoft finally removed the block.

Yahoo, MSN Spar Over Traffic Figures
SiliconValley.internet.com, Oct. 12, 2001
We're the biggest, says Yahoo. No, we're the biggest, counters MSN. A look at the dueling audience figures. Yahoo claims its 210 million unique visitors worldwide in September -- as measured by NetRatings -- makes it the largest global web property. MSN says it had 270 million unique visitors according to former NetRatings-rival Jupiter Media Metrix.
Yahoo, MSN Battle Over Traffic Figures
NewsFactor Network, Oct. 12, 2001
Another story on the audience dispute. Note the analyst comment that the time a user spends on the site is more important than the site's audience figures. That's wrong. The statistics, any of them, mean nothing on their own. So what if a portal has someone on their site for an average of an hour per month? If their competitor only keeps visitors for 30 minutes per month but earns more per visitor, then the time means nothing. Or if a web site has millions more visitors than its rivals but fails to earn much from them, it's not going to stay in business -- as anyone watching the dotcom fallout over the past year understands well.

Help! They're Taking Over My Computer

So I finally install Netscape 6.1, then try to listen to a CD in my computer. Suddenly WinAmp has taken over and continually tries to connect to the Internet, though I'm offline. What's going on? And there's new options in my Start Menu that I need to remove, plus new bookmarks riddled through my Favorites. Pamela Parker had a similar experience with software that does things you never expected or asked for.
Search engine spiders and crawlers with other purposes pose significant problems to site owners. In particular, they can skew page view statistics, which means that advertisers might pay for impressions that human beings never see.
If only there were a public list of all the spiders operating, so that they could be filtered out! That's what the Interactive Advertising Bureau is now offering, in conjunction with ABCi. Of course, it makes you wonder what all those advertisers have been doing -- or not doing -- to filter out robotic queries without such a list.
Spiders can also overburden web servers, which is why the robots.txt protocol was created years ago. A subsequent list of spiders was also established, but the self-reported nature of this means that it may miss many spiders. In contrast, ABCi has maintained its own list by watching for spider behavior, as having a good list is essential to its auditing business.
No matter how good the ABCi list is, it still faces challenges. Some spider operators will fail to list themselves or may actually try to disguise that they are spiders, such as those that harvest email addresses off of web pages.

New At Google: More File Types, Page Snapshots For Some, & Webmaster Help

Not content with being the only major search engine to list PDF files, Google now lists Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents from across the web, as well as Rich Text Format and PostScript files. Chris Sherman has a full-report on the new file formats in the SearchDay article, below.
Google is also testing "Page Snapshots" with a small number of its users. These are small thumbnail images that appear to the left of each listing. They show in thumbnail format what the listed page looks like.
Don't go trying to look for an option to see this feature! It's simply something that will happen to about one percent of Google's users, and only to those who are detected to have high-bandwidth connections. The company says that if response to the thumbnails is positive, then they may be rolled out as a standard feature.
By the way, if you are seeing them and don't like them, use the "Preference" link from the Google home page, then switch off the "Page Snapshots" option.
Meanwhile, as Google's popularity has swelled, so has the interest in getting listed in the service from webmasters. To help with this interest, Google has been moving forward on a number of fronts. It has posted new information for site owners, opened an automated removal tool and even created an online forum for Google questions.
Last month, the "Google Information for Webmasters" area was unveiled. It provides answers to many questions webmasters have about how their pages are listed with Google, such as:
- Getting Listed
- Not Listed
- Incorrect Listing
- Rank Questions
- Dos and Don'ts
- Facts & Fiction
The ability to remove pages, page descriptions or cached copies of pages has also been made easier for webmasters. In particular, an automatic removal tool went up in the summer that lets you remove web pages, images, dead links or newsgroup posts in about 24 hours.
A Google newsgroup also opened in early September. It's meant to be for all things Google, not just webmaster issues. Nevertheless, site owners may find help with listing issues there.
Google says it doesn't monitor the group on a regular basis but rather now and then. It primarily relies on Google users to help each other, though it will provide assistance directly, if seen as necessary or useful. Google says it also may break out sub-groups for particular topics in the future, if appropriate.

Google evaluates subscription options
News.com, Oct. 25, 2001
Is Google planning a subscription-based search service for the corporate market? An employee suggested this would come. However, Google later said that the employee was only talking casually about business areas that Google might explore and that there are no actual plans to do this in the works. "We're not talking about subscription-based services at all," said spokesperson Cindy McCaffrey.
Is AltaVista's Stale Index The Last Blow?

Earlier this year, it emerged that AltaVista had not refreshed any of its country-specific web page indexes for months. Now, it turns out that the main global database is also several months old.
It's a PR black eye that the service didn't need. AltaVista has been losing its audience steadily over the past year, with Google looking to be the big winner. To regain that audience, AltaVista has continued to proclaim for over a year that it is focused on search. Unfortunately, it's failing to deliver on that promise.
Back in March, AltaVista made a lot of noise about a new crawling system that was going to revisit each page in its index on a monthly basis or even sooner, if a page required it. Here we are in November, and that system doesn't seem to be working. Such a long delay doesn't promote confidence that AltaVista will get its act together.
To be fair, some parts of AltaVista's index were fresher than you could find at Google. For example, in mid-October, the listing for the CNN home page was only a few days old. This could easily be spotted by looking at the date of the listing. In contrast, Google's listing for CNN was still dating back to Sept. 13 -- though you would only know this by viewing Google's cached copy of the page.
That's more the exception that the rule, however. The vast majority of AltaVista's content out of date, which the company itself admits. There is one exception. Anyone who stumped up money over the past few weeks got their pages either included or revisited in a current fashion.
It's worth recalling that when AltaVista rolled out paid inclusion, it promised that regular spidering of "free" content would continue, albeit at a slower monthly refresh rate. That pledge has been broken.
Freshness is a key component for any crawler-based search engine, but verifying freshness can be difficult. One standard that all the crawlers should immediately implement would be to list the date that they last visited each page. Then, at a glance, any user could easily tell exactly how fresh -- or how old -- a search engine's listings are.
AltaVista also will no longer gather its own shopping search information but instead plans to outsource for this feature, in the near future.
"We have been approached by several leading shopping sites who are interested in becoming a strategic partner for us in this space," said spokesperson Kristi Kaspar.
AltaVista gained its own shopping search ability via the Compaq acquisition of Shopping.com back in January 1999. Despite outsourcing shopping search, the company does plan to continue producing its own web-wide search index.

Indeed, for popular terms such as "cipro," Google will deliver up to eight paid listings versus 10 editorial listings. That's a 44 percent ad break; albeit one that's not typical, for most terms. Also points out that Google did not win out against Inktomi to power some results for MSN and AOL.

Web search error adds Muppet to Bin Laden cause
ZDNet UK, Oct. 11, 2001
Bert-Osama Site Taken Down
Reuters, Oct. 12, 2001
Some protestors in Pakistan against the bombings in Afghanistan were holding posters with images of Osama bin Laden -- and one of those images showed him sitting alongside Sesame Street's Bert. What happened is that a joke photograph showing the two together is available on various sites across the web. Because of this, a search for "osama bin laden" on Google's image search service brings up the parody alongside other pictures of bin Laden. Presumably, protestors seeking pictures of bin Laden did a Google search and found the Bert-Osama picture. That's also not really an "error" on Google's part, as the headline of the first article above puts it, because the parody does include bin Laden. The second article explains that the original "Bert Is Evil" site has now closed. However, the image that Google lists was probably copied from that site to another site, so you'll still find the picture appearing in its search results.

Business Start-Up Checklist
Trying to start up a business can easily overwhelm a new entrepreneur. With a little organization and planning, however, running a start-up, while challenging, can be both financially and personally rewarding.

Pick a Name
___ Brainstorm until you have several names that fit your business.
___ Check to see if your ideas are available as domain names.
___ Conduct a trademark search at the federal and state levels. If the name you want is already a trademark, determine if your use of the name would cause consumer confusion.
___ Ask your county clerk's office if anyone has already registered any of the names on your list as a fictitious business name.
___ If you are structuring your business as a corporation or LLC, check with your Secretary of State to see if any of your proposed names are not available.

Consider Your Legal Structure
___ Investigate the different types of business structures:
___ Count how many owners the business will have.
___ Assess your business risk.
___ Determine the best tax structure for the business.
___ Decide if you'd like to sell stock in the business.
___ Consult an attorney or other business expert for advice on business structures.
Make Your Business Name Official
___ Register for your domain name.
___ If required, register your name as a fictitious business name with your county clerk.
___ File for federal and/or state trademark protection, if necessary.
Create Your Business Paperwork
___ Partnership:
___ Corporations:
___ Non-Profit
Pick a Place
___ Make a list of the features that your business space will require.
___ Figure out the maximum rent you can pay.
___ Research neighborhoods and determine which one is the best fit.
___ Check the zoning laws for the areas you're considering.
___ Negotiate the terms of your lease.
Buy Insurance
___ Call an agent to get more information.
___ Compare quotes from different companies and for different levels of coverage.
___ If your business uses vehicles, be sure to get liability insurance.
___ Consider getting health insurance, disability and/or life insurance for you and your employees.
___ Get liability insurance for your business space if customers or clients will visit.
___ If your business manufactures dangerous products, buy product liability insurance.
Obtain the Necessary Permits and Licenses
___ For partnerships, corporations and LLCs with employees, file for a federal employment identification number.
___ If you plan on selling retail goods, get a seller's permit from your state.
___ Research and obtain any necessary state licenses.
___ Get a business license.
___ Research any local permits or licenses.
Establish an Accounting System
___ Buy small business accounting software.
___ Choose whether to run your books based on the cash or accrual method.
___ If your business cycle doesn't follow a normal calendar year, pick a fiscal year if permitted.
___ Create a system to monitor accounts payable and receivable.
___ Think about hiring an individual or a firm to help with the books.
___ Examine the basic tax scheme for your type of business.
___ Learn the difference between capital and current expenses, and figure out which ones apply to you.

Bringing together eight core artists and curatorial collectives from Philadelphia and Los Angeles, First Among Equals proposes a variety of strategies for working collaboratively across peer groups and generations. But it's not all as rosy as it sounds. Amid the resultant joint efforts and seamless assemblages, curators Alex Klein and Kate Kraczon have allowed contention, resistance and even some cold-blooded killing to infiltrate this multivalent exhibition.
Alex Da Corte and Mateo Tannatt come down on the side of informed consent. Both Da Corte's "Scene Take Six" (2012) and Tannatt's "Studio Complex/Beardsley Farm/Heaven's Gate" (2012) are built around collective values: collaboration, consensus and communication. Each artist worked with a variety of other artists whose contributions to the exhibition were incorporated into unified, sculptural installations. It's a method that results in some of the most visually intriguing and conceptually cohesive work in the show.
But First Among Equals is as much an exhibition about artists working against each other as it is a study of how they work together. Kathryn Andrews's "Serial Killer" (2012) takes the form of a chain-link fence on wheels—occasionally accompanied by living statues—that encroaches upon other artworks, ostensibly murdering them with its relentless and uninvited proximity. "Serial Killer" hit indiscriminately throughout the course of the exhibition, preying on five different artworks and even significantly enhancing a few; when it rolled up to Bodega's wall-mounted display of xeroxes, "Serial Killer" lent the otherwise lank paper a structural frisson by extending its monochrome pallet into the viewer's space. This was a serendipitous effect, since First Among Equals puts great faith in the power of the poster.
Borne out over an unusually large number of printed contributions is a belief in the poster's ability to advertise, mediate and stand alone as an object of aesthetic interest. This works more or less effectively, as long as you pay close attention, keep track of event dates and don't mind the fact that nearly half of what you see in the gallery is actually a placeholder for something else. There's a poster for Wu Tsang's film, Wildness (2012), eight posters by P&Co. for their sound project of remixed audio recordings, a wall of posters designed by Bodega to evoke their performance program and a series of posters by Emilio Macchia and Luisa Lorenza Corna for Machete Group's ongoing discussion series.
In all cases, the posters—as posters do—gesture away from the here and now of the gallery space toward time-based events accessible from different platforms. Thus, the viewer is referred to a performance commissioned by Bodega or to the ICA's website, where you can listen to P&Co.'s digital recordings. It leaves the viewer feeling alternately lucky when they catch a great event (Wu's Wildness screening was excellent, coming hot on the heels of the film's celebrated premiere in L.A.) and wistful when they realize they've missed half of the programming (for example, Machete's symposia ended in May). It's a risky approach to exhibition-making that demands curatorial stamina and presumes viewer tenacity.
But Klein and Kraczon have kept up the tempo, and there's still plenty to see and hear in the last days of the exhibition's run. For her solo show in Marginal Utility's constantly changing gallery-within-a-gallery, Abigail DeVille has shoved the black gallery walls flush to the white walls of the ICA in order to make room for "Hooverville Torqued Ellipse" (2012). Her giant cardboard barge borrows its shape from minimalist sculptor Richard Serra's iconic steel forms, but is constructed entirely from recycled materials. Its intense physicality offers a nice foil to the digital sculptures in Extra Extra's interactive virtual gallery, projected on the opposite side of the wall. This constellation stages a plausible parable for the exhibition as a whole: Like physicality and virtuality, First Among Equals suggests that collaboration and contention may be two sides of the same, oft-flipped coin.

Review: Magnus: Robot Fighter #3
How do you kill a robot fighter? Send a human. LEEJA CLANE: HUMAN HUNTER! Her guns are huge! Her car is fast! Her theme music is awesome! How's Magnus possibly going to survive against an opponent with no robot parts? It's flesh-and-blood brawling brought by FRED VAN LENTE (Conan The Barbarian) and CORY SMITH (Fathom)!
More punches are thrown this month in the pages of Magnus: Robot Fighter #3. The story is written by Fred Van Lente with art by Cory Smith. Mauricio Wallace tackles colors with Marshall Dillon providing lettering. Magnus has been off to a good start, but how are things shaping up now that our hero is in the thick of it?
Magnus has escaped from the robot jail he was thrown in after busting up a few bots when he awakened in the strange new world where robots reigned supreme. He's now on the run with his new friend and broken robot H8R, but they're being chased by a Human Hunter named Leeja. She's relentless, she's deadly, and she appears to be the star of the most popular show in North Am. When Magnus ends up surprising the viewers and proving he's more than just a guy that can punch stuff in the face, he may have made Leeja's job harder and less popular than it was before. There are some major political machinations in place, but can Magnus overcome and find out the truth of this odd world in which he's found himself?
Fred Van Lente writes a very solid issue. There is a little less punching, a lot more story, and a heap more laughs to be had this time around. Be sure to keep your eyes opened for a few neat little cameos. It's a fast-paced and witty issue overall. Smith's art does a spectacular job of balancing the out-and-out humor Van Lente writes and the action of Magnus doing more action-y things like punching a flying car. Smith really gets to stretch all kinds of muscle with art that has to convey real emotion, humor, action, and even a few brief stretches of just characters standing and talking. Wallace gets to stretch just as much as Smith when it comes to colors. There is a subdued, grey filter to the sections that are being broadcast to the public, but then it clicks into bright, vibrant, pop-y colors to show Magnus on the run. The switch looks beautiful and makes for some nice transitions.
Bottom Line: Magnus is a good series and it's getting better every month. We're starting to see some of the larger things in play here, and it appears that Fred Van Lente and company are taking Magnus in a great direction. 4/5

Tyler Leaving Central Tennis Teams in Good Shape
Posted By Sports On May 28, 2014 @ 5:49 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
Announcing his retirement a few weeks ago, former Central men's and women's tennis coach, Steve Tyler will be leaving the next head coach in good hands. Both squads were in the middle of the pack in their conference tournaments, and each only lost a couple of seniors to graduation. One sophomore on the women's team, Angie Allgood, will be back in the fall, and was named to the Capital One Academic All-District at-large team for her efforts on and off the tennis courts. Coach Tyler says she will be an important part of the Dutch in the future. The women's team lost two seniors and the men lost three, and they'll each begin their fall seasons in late August.

Sewickley pledges $80,000 for Village Green
When organizers of the nonprofit marketing group Village Green Partners begin their new year in January, they'll do so with $80,000 in taxpayer money — the same amount Sewickley leaders approved for this year.
"$80,000 is a good number as we work on growing our other revenue sources," Village Green co-founder Jennifer Markus said.
The nonprofit group — which began in 2010 — has worked to organize events such as Light Up Night and to draw shoppers to the business district.
In 2012, Village Green received $40,000 from the borough. Before that, the group received $25,000.
Markus said the group opted to not increase funding for 2014 because "we promised last year that we wouldn't."
Unlike the current year and previous years, the nonprofit group will have achievement levels as agreed upon between the organization and borough leaders.
"We are working with the borough to come up with some performance metrics for Village Green for next year," Markus said.
Plans for the metrics still are being ironed out, Markus said.
Among the metrics will include achieving a specific level of registering business owners as partners to the organization, Markus said.
The group set a goal to achieve 100 partners. At last count, Markus said the group has reached at least 65 members. The cost to join is $250 annually.
"We don't have 100 because we've been focusing a lot more on getting the word out about the Village," the group's marketing director Alex DeLoia said.
Still, Village Green organizers say the year has been successful.
They note few empty storefronts as the business district enters the holiday shopping season, including the addition of some temporary retailers.
"Except for a few small locations, there won't be any empty storefronts for the holidays," Markus said. "That's huge. Hopefully people notice."
Sewickley Mayor Brian Jeffe attributed fewer empty storefronts to the group.
"There's no doubt their fingerprint is on the renaissance the Village is going through," he said.
"Village Green is taking an active role to make (the business district) better.
"What used to be the role of the borough for coordinating events is going to them."
New events included summertime Night Market events, a chocolate walk and a collaboration with organizers of the St. James farmers market.
Along with Light Up Night planned for Dec. 6, organizers say they want to attract shoppers on Wednesday nights and Saturdays during the holidays.
The group plans to kick off that initiative on Nov. 30 with Small Business Saturday — a nationwide effort to attract support for small businesses.
Organizers say they're efforts are working.
"Maybe it's not that day (of an event) that they're shopping, but it's definitely creating awareness," DeLoia said. "People are coming back."
While organizers say they're reaching beyond Sewickley to attract potential shoppers, they still find locals unaware of stores in the business district.
Part of what helps the business district is informing potential customers of what stores offer, DeLoia said.
"There's a lot of places in Sewickley that have exclusivity for different brands … their vendors won't sell to anybody else in Pittsburgh," she said.
Organizers say their efforts for next year include diversifying funding and continuing to reach new potential shoppers.
"The point is to build the awareness of Sewickley and let people know it is here," Markus said.

John Flannery, owner of Flannery's Tavern on the Square in Mercersburg and John Allison Public House in Greencastle, was named the Business Person of the Year.
"He is the product of hard work and common sense," said longtime friend Al Bendell. "We should all be grateful to have this man as a member of the community. He loves this area. He gives 150 percent each day to make Mercersburg a better place. I am amazed at his positive energy."
Flannery actually started his career in the printing industry, working for Hub Labels in Hagerstown, Md., and climbing his way up to the position of vice president of manufacturing.
In 2005, he purchased McKinstry House in Mercersburg and renovated the building into Flannery's Tavern. More recently, he took over the former Antrim House Restaurant in Greencastle and converted it into the John Allison Public House. The two restaurants employ about 60 people.
In addition to the two restaurant ventures, he also purchased the former Irwin House on the square in Mercersburg in 2010, renovating the historic log cabin into a modern commercial building.
Through the various business ventures, he has raised money for Fix JB Sports, G-A MAAX, Tuscarora Educational Foundation, and a nonprofit that provides phone cards for overseas troops to call home.
Flannery helped raise more than $10,000 for Fix JB Sports and G-A MAAX. Most recently, he helped organize the Flannery's Pub Run, a half marathon between Mercersburg and Greencastle that drew more than 300 runners.
Flannery volunteered for six years as a Mercersburg Little League manager and has served on Tuscarora Area and Greencastle-Antrim chamber of commerce boards, Tuscarora Education Foundation board, and the Greencastle Business Education Partnership and Greencastle Golf Tournament committees.

I would like to build some Perma-Press shirts. I haven't sewn for a long time and am just getting back into it. How do you buy Perma-Press fabric? or can you? How is it labeled, what does one look for, etc?
This is just a "Yeah! Me too!" post. I like to make most of my husband's shirts, but haven't made too many lately because he thinks that if I sew all-cotton I should iron them for him, too.
I try to explain that I just can't buy the 40% polyester fabric that his RTW no-iron shirts are made of and that he should iron shirts himself. Nope. He wears them wrinkly, and I'm embarrassed to say I made the shirt.
If anybody has some links to no-iron or permanent press shirt fabrics, I'd love to see them!
------Beth H in Georgia
I have the same trouble. I hate ironing. I look for polyester/cotton blends. They generally are pretty wrinkle-free, although they don't specifically say perm-press or no-iron. I have found some in solid colors at JoAnns, although very lightweight. Most of these Denver Fabrics tartans are poly/cotton blends - I just got three (and they're on sale!).
shirt fabric
Mmmm... tartans don't work for me. My husband has recently declared that he doesn't want to wear a plaid shirt and risk looking like Al Borland from 'Home Improvement'! I need something for dress shirts!
Don't know how "Manly" this might be, but I see/have bought lots of nice cotton/lycra shirtings that need virtually no ironing when washed. If they do get a little rumpled looking, a little steaming in the bathroom during a shower usually more than does the trick.
------I am going for a level of perfection that is only mine... Most of the pleasure is in getting that last little piece perfect...Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just keep showing up and doing the work.

To me, permanent press fabric is polyester, or better, a poly/cotton blend [the poly keeps it wrinkle-free, the cotton lets it breath]. At least 50% polyester will make it come out of the dryer looking great.
When sewing, a pressed-open seam, or a pressed hem even becomes permanently pressed. If it doesn't seem to press a nice crease, use a press cloth and raise the temperature of your iron.
The poly/cotton blend can be difficult to find. I've been lucking out big time, finding them on Walmart's $1 yard table...Mill Creek brand [high quality, and the name is printed on the selvage edge].
I know marshalldrygoods.com carries blends [do an advanced search there for polyester cotton], but I've never purchased from them to know their quality.
Broadcloth is usually poly/cotton, but I'm not thrilled about it...Joann's broadcloth seems very low quality. I don't know, maybe all broadcloths are like that.
Someone reviewed a web site that carried lots of Hawaiian fabrics [sorry, can't remember the name], and they had a lot of blends. A search of 'web site reviews' would turn it up, I bet.
The only other option I know to try, is to do a google search for: fabric, polyester cotton, $ yard.
Good luck :)

Would Imperial Broadcloth work? It is poly and cotton and you can find it at smocking shops. I use it a lot for smocking don't see why it would work for shirts, too.
I've made my DD scrubs from the Imperial broadcloth and she loves them and - trust me here - she doesn't iron them. They're smooth and elegantly drapey and she gets compliments even on some sets she's been washing and wearing for 3 years. I think the secret to making Imperial broadcloth shirts that don't need ironing would be to stretch the seams as you sew, to avoid the puckered seams that are often the reason "no-iron" shirts need to be ironed.

Nate Severson and Tara Smith bartend at Tommyjacks Pubs. / Emily Spartz / Link
Address: 214 E. 12th St.
Hours: 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily
Contact: 367-9706
For nearly 70 years, it was Edsalears Bar and Grill. Then, the bar gave way to video lottery and barely-dressed waitresses for The Gentlemans Casino.
But for the past several years, the neighborhood bar, located just west of the citys main post office, has been known as Tommyjacks, serving the ever-growing downtown crowd and the old-timers that frequented Edsalears.
The downtown is bustling with energy and things to do, bartender Nate Severson says. We are all a really tight-knit community. People live, work and enjoy the nightlife together.
Thats what makes Tommyjacks so special, bartender Tara Smith adds.
The biggest thing about being a part of the downtown community is that we all support each other, Smith says. A lot of us who work downtown also spend our off time downtown. We all make an effort to be community conscious and to give back while also providing excellent customer service and a variety of things to do. These are the reasons why the nightlife is so lively and we all stay busy.
Question: What is the regular crowd at Tommyjacks like?
Severson: Our customers are fiercely loyal. Some have even gone so far as to get a Tommyjacks tattoo.
Smith: Our crowd is varied, eclectic and all ages. We have regulars that range from businessmen to veterans to members of local bands ranging in age from 21 to 65. We also have a lot of people who work in the service industry. What makes this bar so great is that it doesnt matter your background or age its Tommyjacks that we all have in common.
Q: What are some fun events that happen at Tommyjacks?
Severson: When NFL football begins, this place is full on Sundays. I am in charge of preparing wings. Most football Sundays, well sell 450.
Smith: We host at least one event a month. We are a music-based bar, so our outdoor concerts are some of my favorite events. We do a concert a month in the summer. We also host fundraisers, DJs, Mario Kart tournaments and parties.
Q: When did you know you wanted to work behind a bar?
Smith: I have been part of the service industry for 10 years, but it has always been a part-time job to supplement my income. It wasnt until I came to Tommyjacks that I ever considered being a full-time bartender.
Q: What is the best part about working at Tommyjacks?
Smith: The dynamic staff and amazing customers. We are like one big, happy family. Its not just the bar its where our friends are.
Q: What would you say is the best drink you make?
Severson: I make a great Bloody Mary. My secret ingredient is love.
Smith: Jameson Ginger.
Q: If bartenders had superpowers, what would yours be?
Severson: The ability to generate a second liver.
Q: What is one thing you would like to see happen in downtown?
Severson: I would like to see a place for all the local food trucks.
Smith: The continued success of all the businesses that make downtown what it is. Our selection of retail shopping, restaurants and bars are second to none, and the energy that we have at Tommyjacks is a perfect example of that. Its really exciting to be part of it all.

All the Private Space You'll Ever Need, In One Little Box
Everyone needs (or demands) their own bit of defensible space. In an increasingly urbanizing world with living conditions becoming ever more dense, that space may not amount to much. Still, the diminutive dimensions of this private cloister (the smaller, the better, says the "good" urbanist) need not be boring, nor… »


text: World's Fastest Animal Is Very, Very Small When speed is measured in body lengths per second, that is By Catherine Straut, Newser User Posted Apr 29, 2014 7:03 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (9) (Newser) – Watch your back, Usain Bolt: A California physics major has found that a tiny mite is (sort of) the fastest land animal on Earth, keeping a pace equivalent to that of a human running 1,300 miles per hour, the Christian Science Monitor reports. Why "sort of"? As UPI points out, this finding is based on measuring speed relative only to body size, rather than looking at total distance traveled. Paratarsotomus macropalpis is smaller than a single sesame seed—and can run up to 322 body lengths per second. So, while the mite isn't exactly covering much ground, by that measure this tiny insect clocks in about 20 times faster than a cheetah, Science Daily reports. But a cheetah wasn't the previous record holder in this category: That honor went to the Australian tiger beetle, which can cover 171 body lengths per second. Samuel Rubin, the student who measured the mite's speed, says the finding was "so cool"—but could also be useful. "Looking deeper into the physics of how they accomplish these speeds could help inspire revolutionary new designs for things like robots or biomimetic devices," he says. (Another new record-holder: the world's deepest-diving mammal.) A different kind of mite.

World Community Grid Water Features
11.02.2010 - 07.03.2010 | Aids-3D (Kosmas & Keller)
A fountain and its natural form, the spring, are symbols of the miraculous life-begetting 'élan vital' that permeates the universe. In fact, life on earth is now thought to have begun in the nutrient-rich plumes of undersea hydrothermal vents, real-life fountains of life. But, when the image of the source is mimicked as Water Feature, a merely decorative, self-contained electric fountain, the maternalistic life-force is perverted into what amounts to abject MILF porn. The Water Feature is so wasteful and self-indulgent that it becomes the straw man in the argument against contemporary art as useless blubber for the tasteless elite. But— can't home and garden decor give back a little bit? Can't we efficiently retrofit some of our 'criminal ornaments' for a fairer future? If there is some leftover space inside their faux-marble fiberglass hollowness, we can definitely squeeze some useful nanotech in there— right? Let's finally answer Joseph Bueys famous challenge, "Kann Plastik die Welt verandern?"—can sculpture change the world? with a resounding "YES!"…as long as that sculpture contains a state-of-the-art-kick-ass-energy-efficient-linux-micro-PC that is totally discovering a cure for cancer.

The season has been perfect for Joey Miuccio, so far. Today and Saturday, he can erase the "so far."
Miuccio, a Melbourne High senior, is one of 32 Brevard County high school wrestlers competing at the state tournament in Lakeland today. Fourteen weight classes in three classes will be whittled down to semifinalists today, while early-round losers will continue to compete to win a medal by finishing among the top six.
Miuccio has two of those medals and has been to the state meet three times. It was last season, when he did not finish as a medalist, that has helped propel him to an unbeaten year. ...

Fred explained the Town Attorney's decision which is that someone cannot tear down a house on a non-conforming lot and then rebuild in another location.
Mr. Niemiroski stated that it appears he has two options: (1) Rebuild and expand the
present house, and (2) Sue the Town.
Fred will consult with the Town's Attorney and State officials to find rulings for the percent of a house in square feet that has to be moved to another location before it can be torn down and rebuilt on the relocated site to meet zoning requirements, if at all.
