Re: About planetary gravity
Glad you recently found out that gravity is caused by mass.
Now, orbital speed, the planet's rotational speed, the gravity of the sun, the gravity of the Moon, they all affect the gravity of the Earth.
If Earth wouldn't spin, gravitational pull would naturally be a bit stronger. The Moon's gravity pulls on Earth and anything: it causes tides (because the whole body of water is pulled towards the Moon, and the Earth rotates through that water "hill"), earthquakes, and the gravitational friction constantly reduces the Earth's rotation speed. The gravity of the sun affects us more when Earth is closer to the sun, and less when it's farer away from the sun, naturally. But it's a pretty minor difference. And yeah, even the sun causes tides, just like the Moon.

Re: About planetary gravity
Science class in middle school was pretty cool, and super easy. Thus I am guessing we weren't really learning much. I remember there being lots of props that did odd things, and then we would be explained why it worked like that. Example, a device with a metal dome that send electricity through your body, made your hair stand on edge, and you had to stand on a crate.
In high school science class consisted of, two years in a row, this science teacher that just lectured people on the utmost irrelevant things. If you've seen Mr. Garrison on South Park, and the way he teaches class, you have to understand, that's almost exactly how this teacher was.
I failed math because when I changed schools, I some how went from 6th to 7th grade, because I got held back in 2nd grade. When I got into 8th grade math, it was super hard, and I couldn't understand it. My teacher just kept giving me an F and lecturing me on how smart I am, and how I CAN do this if I just apply myself. I honest to god couldn't do it because I skipped certain mathematical knowledge. It's like learning HTML, skipping the year they teach you Java, and going right to PHP and MySQL, and it is assumed you know Java. You'd never pass, because every time they'd ask you to write a Java script to defer to the MySQL data base, you'd just sit there like WTF!?
Now I do remember my Social Studies teacher teaching us all about Science... in social studies class.
It started out by learning about all the black and Hispanic scientists that have contributed to science. And some how moved in to her teaching science.
She freakin told me the earth's rotation is what made gravity and pulled us inward.
I recall saying "wouldn't the spinning of the earth push us outward? Like, if you dip a basketball in water, and then spin it on your finger, the water goes outward and splashes you, because spinning pushes objects away from the surface" she says "no, because we're also orbiting the sun."
I just nodded my head, not understanding it, and assuming I was too stupid to understand it.
And the thing is, a week later I am talking about it to a friend (who has the same class) and he's explaining how the teacher is totally right.
I recall from other history, social studies, and English teachers, that Edison invented the light bulb. George Washington Carver invented peanut butter. Some black guy in world war one invented the radio. Benjamin Franklin accidentally discovered electricity when flying a kite in a storm. Christopher Columbus discovered America. Leonardo Da Vinci invented the first air plane.
I was taught a lot of stuff that wasn't true.
But in science classes, throughout elementary school, it was all about home made volcanoes, and interesting "tricks" you could do at home.
In middle school (because 6th and 7th grade over lapped for me) I only had two science teachers, and only my 8th grade science teacher, Mr. Little, actually attempted to teach us about science.
I look back at school, and besides the students, and the social environment, all I can remember about the lessons were Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Susan B Anthony, Second Wave Feminism, and reading The Grapes Of Wrath, Of Mice And Men, Greasers, and a lot of books that remind me of The Fox And The Hound. And learning about historical people who we were told invented or discovered things they didn't.
To this day, I still remember my 9th and 10th grade science teacher the day he had to take his dog to the vet, and that got us learning about the miracles of Vitamin B. And for the rest of the month we learned about Vitamins... In Earth Science class! I remember he made a speech about the laws of the road, and how at 60 MPH some special inertia takes place. I remember him briefly touching on the theory of relativity. We learned about global warming, and recycling, I remember that because he looked at me and my best friend and said "You two could at least recycle your beer bottles". And when he caught his son coming home drunk, and made him drink more until he puked his guts out, to teach him a lesson. All of which is interesting, because 2 years after I dropped out of high school, and worked at my family's liquor store (18 to sell it as long as there is no open container in the establishment) he used to come in there every day, by a huge fifth of brandy, and he never recognized me as a former student. Apparently he lost his job a year after I quit school, and he died two years after that. He literally drank himself to death.
Oh yeah, in one of the years he was teaching us about whales for a couple of months. And he did mention Star Trek The Voyage Home.
You know, to this day, I don't know what the hell Earth Science is.
To this day I get a lump in my throat when I hear "Earth Science" because all I can think about is whales, alcoholism, global warming, vitamin B, and the fact that boys can hold it in longer than girls, so boys can't leave the class room, and neither can the girls because they only go there to do their makeup. The teacher was off the charts crazy.

Re: About planetary gravity
I had an idiot science teacher in 7th grade who insisted that atomic bombs are more powerful than hydrogen bombs because atomic bombs are fission, which throws things outwards, and hydrogen bombs are fusion, which is an implosion that sucks things inwards. I sat there thinking, "That's so stupid it's not even wrong!"
Gravity is an attraction between two masses, with the formula Force = G * M1 * M2 / R^2, where M1 and M2 are the masses of the two objects, G is a constant, and R is the radius between their centers.

Re: About planetary gravity
American history has often mythologized in public school textbooks due to the needs of the textbook industry to placate local school boards. This is why we get whitewashed versions of Helen Keller, Reconstruction, etc., and persistent myths like Betsy Ross.

Re: About planetary gravity
Of course they did everyone wrong. My old high school had some pretty incredible drop out rates.
Of course it's 100% my own fault that I never to this day got my GED.
Come to think of it, I failed metal shop through lack of trying, so I guess by 9th grade I was failing my teachers as much as they were failing me.
Hmm, I was wondering why so much of school taught history is incorrect.
I mean, the first thing that springs to my mind is "damn leftist politics" (which there was a lot of, jab jab) but the reality of it is a lot of the stuff I learned that was false, had no political motivation behind it.
You say it's because the textbook industry is trying to make money? or are you saying they are trying to fill some sort of quota?
And what Betsy Ross myths are you talking about?
After she licked her lips he said "there you go folks, that's our physics lesson. Wet waxy lips. Or WW LIPS. Which stands for Wheels, Wedges, Levers, Inclines, Pulleys, Springs"
He had made the big deal of making Karen lick her lips for the spectacle so that we'd remember it, considering we were going to spend the second half of the year learning about those exact things, and about Newton's laws of motion, and building devices using those principals, and explain the motion, the cause and effect, with the laws of newtons physics.
And because I had the biggest crush on Karen, I'll never forget her wetting her waxy lips.
I only remember the name of two of my teachers. Mr. Little, because he was my favorite, and actually the teacher who got me to care about science. And Mrs. Greene, because good god that woman had legs LOL
I just remembered another teacher I liked, how he inspired all of us, and how he was wrongfully fired. I'll put this in a spoiler tag so everyone can skip it.
Actually I just remembered another teacher. Mr Thompson, either 8th or 9th grade PE teacher. He was really good. He was all about "trying" and team spirit. And if you didn't do well in his class, near the end of the semester, he'd pull you to the side, and really giving you a polite talking to about how he grades on effort, individual progress, group participation, and sportsmen conduct. How you can come in last in the race, and still get an "A" if you finish the race faster than last time, and had a good positive attitude.
I remember one day, I was chosen as team captain for basketball practice, and my opponent went first. He chose Darnell who's nick name was "wings" because he could fly through the air and slam dunk. I made my choice, and then Charles walked in, saying he is sorry for being late. My opponent got to choose him. The best damn basket ball player in the entire neighborhood. And my opponent (the other captain) was probably the third best basket ball player. So their team had the three best players (by a land slide). Because these three men were like professional NBA stars, versus a bunch of pudgy little white boys and girls, we knew there was no way my team had a chance no matter who else I picked. So lo and behold my opponent started choosing the absolute worst people to fill out the rest of his team. He chose the fat people, skinny little white girls afraid to break their nails, and all the stereotypical nerds. The people who had a reputation in our class as being the least athletic, and the most shy and socially awkward.
We played, and they're team still won LOL. But afterward, I heard Mr. Thompson talking to the team captain (can't remember his name) and he commended him for choosing the team the way he did.
You see, the team captain wanted to make it fair, he knew he had the three best ball players in the school, so he chose all the weakest people, passed the ball to them. Made them, forced them, to be a part of the team, and then made them all feel like winners by winning. All the while giving my team a fighting chance.
That was the kind of spirit Mr. Thompson could inspire in us.
A few years later the school fired him for being homosexual.
Talk about messed up. They fired one of the few teachers who ever made a positive impact on anyone, just for being gay. Not that he was gay with his students or any scandal like that.
And what shocked me was, this was a school that beet you over the head with liberal tolerance and equality, they just didn't want to practice what they preached.
Further proof that yes, there are some good teachers, but man, something was just wrong with my school district.
I am wondering what you guys think of this solar system theory that earth is not revolving around a stationary sun, but is instead traveling in a spiral. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6jBK...eature=related

Southern W.Va. gets hit again by Sunday storm
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The southern part of the West Virginia was dealt another blow after a Sunday night thunderstorm produced more damaging winds.
"I was really worried about the southern counties last night," said Nick Webb, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Charleston. "A line of storms really blew up in Eastern Kentucky toward Mingo and Logan ... It kept intensifying as it moved east."
Hundreds of thousands of customers throughout the West Virginia had already lost power after a storm Friday night. On Monday afternoon, about 60 percent of the state, or 263,845 customers, didn't have power, according to Appalachian Power's website.
In Mingo County, more power outages from downed trees and power lines were reported Sunday night after the storm, a 911 dispatcher said.
A part of W.Va. 44 near Horsepen Mountain in Gilbert is now blocked because of trees in the road, according to a dispatcher.
Nearly 10,000 customers, about 63 percent of Mingo, was without power around noon on Monday, according to AEP's website.
Around 13,000 customers in Logan remained without power Monday and more trees on power lines were reported Sunday night, a 911 dispatcher said.
The airport in Beckley reported winds at 59 miles per hour at 11:30 p.m. Sunday, and Bluefield recorded at least 48 mile per hour winds, Webb said.
In Mercer County, more power outages were reported Sunday night than Friday, a 911 dispatcher said.
More downed trees and power lines in Mercer and McDowell counties were reported to emergency dispatchers after a strong lightning storm around 10:30 p.m. Sunday.

Flashpoint Academy students just created JUGGLE MANIA, an online Flash-based video game using assets from the EDGAR & ELLEN special "Nobody's Fools" provided by Star Farm Productions.
The fan-inspired EDGAR & ELLEN series airs on Nicktoons. JUGGLE MANIA debuted on the EDGAR & ELLEN website on April 1 and has already had international entries from the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway, Holland, Belgium, Finland, Ireland and Canada.
JUGGLE MANIA was designed for children ages 6-12 and will be on the EDGAR & ELLEN website (www.edgarandellen.com) all through April.
Students worked with the Game Development Chair Simeon Peebler, Executive Producers Howard A. Tullman and Paula Froehle and Producer Steven Berger to create the project.
Star Farm Productions SVP, Marketing, Colleen Fahey, was impressed: "Star Farm Productions provided the students with art and they provided creativity and humor," she said. "Now we have kids from a dozen countries playing the game."
Flashpoint, Chicago's first digital media arts college, offers two-year direct-to-industry training programs for high school graduates and adult learners interested in pursuing careers in game development, visual effects/animation, film and recording arts.
The 40-hour-per-week program includes classroom instruction in a brand new facility located in the Loop at 28 N. Clark. Flashpoint, The Academy of Media Arts and Sciences, is now accepting applications for fall 2008.
EDGAR & ELLEN, for ages 6 to 12, are pranksters extraordinaire who crave outrageous fun. The EDGAR & ELLEN animated series is produced by Star Farm Productions and Bardel Entertainment in association with YTV. It airs on Nicktoons Network US, YTV Canada, Nickelodeon UK, Nickelodeon International, MBC3 and ABC Kids Australia.
This multiple media phenomenon also appears in a six-book series with Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing and as a thriving online community.

Nicole and Kanye Celebrate With Some Bathing Apes
If you love yourself fancy (and pricey!) hoodies, well then the Bathing Ape store opening in LA last night might just have been your kinda fun. Kanye West, a very very loyal BAPE supporter, on a break from his Glow in the Dark Tour was out for the event last night. Judging from his fun with Jonah Hill, that breakup isn't weighing him down to much. A natural looking Nicole Richie buddied up to Pharrell and the company's founder Nigo. Joel wasn't far from her side all night and as a sweatshirt designer himself, I'm sure he especially enjoyed the opening. Little Harlow didn't make it out to the party, but she's not far from our thoughts — especially after our amazing exclusive look at the little munchkin yesterday.

A Warm Maine Welcome Awaits
Whether passing through or staying a while, attending a special event, or on vacation to get away from it all, you'll find a warm welcome waiting for you at our midcoast Maine hilltop inn. Our goal is for all guests – whether visiting for the first time or returning again – to feel that they've arrived at their favorite seaside getaway. We fondly remember childhood visits to a special place that were eagerly anticipated each summer, and look forward to welcoming you to our place!
In the Main House, all guests are welcome to lounge by the living room fireplace with a book or magazine, take on a puzzle or board game, browse local restaurant menus, or plan your next adventure. We can help with your questions, provide directions and advice for excursions, and make whatever arrangements you need.After breakfast, the nearby serving room is ready with ice, barware, snacks, and the hot water kettle for tea, coffee, or hot chocolate at any hour. Cookies, brownies, or other treats randomly appear on most afternoons.
Starting the day off right
Breakfast at the Topside Inn is an event. It is an opportunity for our guests to taste the wonderful foods our local farmers and fisherman produce, much of the locally sourced ingredients come from our nearby farmer's market or our own gardens. Every morning we prepare fresh brewed coffee that has been sustainably grown and locally roasted. Help yourself to our continental offerings that always include our creatively prepared fresh fruit, homemade granola, yogurt, milk, almond milk, fresh baked breads, muffins or scones, homemade jams and preserves, fresh whipped butters and juices. Some additional items could include creative deviled eggs, mini fritatas, and more.
Each morning we offer a different composed dish cooked to order. We know our guests have active days ahead so we do try and keep the dishes lighter and healthier while still offering full flavored, satisfying entrees. This is where our local ingredients have the opportunity to shine and where we get to put twists on traditional favorites. Blueberry lemon mascarpone pancakes with almond milk panna cotta and pure Maine maple syrup or gingerbread waffles with bourbon compound butter and buttermilk syrup are possibilities on our sweet days. On savory days you might be served farm fresh eggs Benedict on a lobster cake with tarragon hollandaise sauce with a tomato salad picked that morning from our garden, a local mushroom omelet with crispy farmer's market fingerling potatoes dressed with a mint and walnut pesto or maybe a hash that includes potatoes, parsnips, arugula and smoked duck topped with 2 sunny-side eggs.
We appreciate all food preferences and are happy to alter our dishes to make them vegetarian, vegan, gluten or dairy free whenever possible.
The Great Outdoors
Topside Inn is situated on more than two acres of land, with the Main House fronting McKown Street as it winds tightly up the hill from the center of town. The front lawn, anchored with a row of classic white Adirondack chairs, slopes gently toward views of the outer harbor. The lawn and buildings are bordered by a variety of gardens that are a colorful, continual work in progress. Rooms in the two guesthouses include direct access to covered porch space for taking in the views, and the sweeping front porch on the Main House offers rockers for all to enjoy. On summer afternoons a spirited game of croquet or bocce may erupt on the front lawn.
Your Innkeepers
Hello from the new owners of the Topside Inn, Brian "Buzz" Makarewicz and Mark Osborn. We are beyond excited that our great friends, Brian and Ed, agreed to sell us the inn in August of 2014 when they decided it was time to move on to new adventures. From the time Mark and Buzz got together (and got married) we knew we wanted to acquire an inn somewhere in the world. Little did we know we would end up buying the inn that we had watched our friends lovingly transform into the perfect haven on the hill. Mark left his corporate life in 2003 and moved to BBH when he bought the Thistle Inn. He sold the inn in 2006 and most recently was the General Manager of Linekin Bay Resort in BBH. Buzz bought a house and began vacationing in BBH in 2007 and fell in love with the town. Buzz has his bachelor's degree from UMass Amherst in Hotel Management and though his career has moved him into Wellness and Technology, he is very excited to have the opportunity to get back into hospitality and meet our guests that visit us from around the world.
A special note to our returning guests: We made a promise to Brian and Ed that we would continue to run the inn with the same care and high standards they provided every day. We make that same promise to you and look forward to meeting you!

Please fill out the form below to send a link to this story to your colleagues.
New federal legislation aims to prevent the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) from issuing guidance on sleep apnea testing for commercial drivers without going through a formal rulemaking process.
A coalition of organizations, including the National School Transportation Association (NSTA), is advocating for the bill, H.R. 3095, which was introduced by Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-Md.) and Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-Ill.).
The bill would require FMCSA to go through a formal notice and comment rulemaking proceeding when issuing guidance on the screening and testing of commercial motor vehicle drivers for obstructive sleep apnea and other sleep disorders.
"If FMSCA wants to weigh in on this issue, then they should go through the proper rulemaking process," Bucshon said. "With such tremendous potential costs to the truck and bus industry, it is critical that we include all the stakeholders, including the medical and trucking communities, in any thorough analysis of fatigue-related crashes. This bill will provide an open and transparent process to evaluate both the costs and benefits of any proposed regulations."
The trucking industry estimates that the impact of screening, diagnosis and treatment for obstructive sleep apnea could exceed $1 billion annually. The impact to the private school bus industry is estimated to be $100 million.
NSTA has called on all of its members to contact their representatives in the House in an effort to secure additional co-sponsors for the legislation.
"The safety record of the school bus industry is unmatched because it is always our top priority," NSTA President Tim Flood said, adding that the association is appreciative of Bucshon and Lipinski's support "in ensuring that FMCSA consider this issue in a comprehensive way, including a cost-benefit analysis, to ensure that any new mandates will actually improve safety."
Several groups were instrumental in developing the legislation: NSTA, the American Trucking Associations, the American Bus Association, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association and the United Motorcoach Association.
The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee will consider H.R. 3095 in a markup hearing on Thursday.

(continued from previous post) -- New CPAP machines for obstructive sleep apnea are inexpensive, but you may have to do some research to get a better, more reliable device. I'm not that familiar with CPAP machines, I use my ASV machine for complex sleep apnea on DC voltage when travelling -- a little larger device but works great.
I hope this helps any of you faced with trying to navigate the medical industry's 'mind-field' determined to get every penny they can from your wallet. Plenty of ripoffs out there that can consume the wallets of the naive and otherwise unprepared. Hopefully this post can help put a stop to most of that nonsense happening to you involving sleep apnea issues.
This issue taunts my interest, and having been there I find it compelling to communicate my experiences with sleep apnea testing, medical supplier scams, politicians and insurance company indifference concerning the costs involved.
The cost to test for sleep apnea was over $1,000 and the results was not only that I had the typical 'obstructive' sleep apnea but I also had 'complex' sleep apnea, a dangerous condition that likely contributed to my heart attacks.
Consider myself lucky to be alive and still able to annoy. The machine I use to control my versions of sleep apnea cost $5,000 and was paid in full by my medical insurance company.
Please BEWARE of supplier rip offs that is happening in the medical supply industry. I did what I thought was adequate research and still was ripped off my first time buying a machine.
My first machine for complex sleep apnea, was an old Respironics ASV that the supplier dumped on me and charged the insurance company $10,000. My insurance company, even after whatever they discounted the payout to the supplier still paid for that machine.
When I found out I went ballistic, returned the machine, complained to the insurance company, and received a new state of the art VPAP Adapt SV machine for $5,000 paid for by my insurance.
Good CPAP machines for the typical obstructive sleep apnea can be purchased on the cheap, but best to know the supplier. Some are crooks and will try to sell you junk machines.
When your income will not allow the cost of a CPAP, sleep doctors often know where you can get one free, so ask. The market is flooded with used CPAP machines, plenty are still good machines with few to moderate hours used. Many CPAP machines have a DC adapter available for use when travelling.
New CPAP machines for obstructive sleep apnea are inexpensive, but you may have to do some research to get a better, more reliable device. I'm not that familiar with CPAP machines, I use my ASV machine for complex sleep a
Well, im cleared....I've been tested and cleared. When i went for my yearly physical they asked me these questions, if you answer yes on at least 2 you have to get tested! I told them i don't have sleep problem, i sleep like a rock! I think its ridiculous to test people who drive local, less than8 hrs, like the above poster said. I wont go back to that place again! Oh fwiw, test night was the WORST sleep i had...went home to get real sleep!
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is outright dumb, in my opinion, invented in 1832 by Belgian statistician Adolphe Quetelet. He invented the Quetelet Index, now called BMI.
Many professional opinions present that BMI is an inaccurate method for trying to detect sleep apnea, attractive to this industry because it is a cheap method but can also cause undo alarm. It is not much use to even professional related medical professionals to determine sleep apnea without further study.
This issue is too serious to screw it up based on BMI fantasies, ought to remain in the sole control of medical doctors during normal physicals. To give control to office staff, or even a district nurse is on the dumb side, may escalate unnecessary costs, as well as cause unnecessary negative relationships between employers and their employees. Just plain dumb to do that.
That said, sleep apnea can be a very dangerous condition, and does need to be professionally diagnosed when something seems amiss. According to my sleep doctor, snoring while sleeping, or falling asleep during normal working hours may be an indicator of sleep apnea.
But even these present requires more testing to determine if sleep apnea is the problem, and especially necessary to determine if complex sleep apnea is also present.
You just can't stick a mask on your face when sleeping and solve this issue. Too many variables have to be worked out.
I can hope that enough undertand the proplem with abusive use of BMI, agree it is a short sighted method to determine sleep apnea, and ban its use from school district transportation departments.
You shouldn't have to do this expense if you are short time bus driver and do not go across statelines and do not work a full 8 hour day some only work 5 hours a day and to have this expense is too much when they have plenty of time to rest

Chrysler Vanishes From Europe as Marchionne Stems Losses: Cars
Fiat SpA, the Italian automaker that controls Chrysler, ended Paolo Mazzali's American dream.
The car dealer near Milan spent the last 10 years selling customers "American lifestyle" as embodied in Chrysler cars and minivans. Now, he'll need to convince them to buy Italian after Fiat's decision to convert Chrysler dealers to Lancia.
"We used to sell an emotional American brand, as American as a Harley Davidson motorcycle," said Mazzali, whose company owns three Chrysler showrooms. "It's like giving up a piece of your heart to pitch something new."
Sergio Marchionne, chief executive officer of Fiat and Chrysler, ceased sales of the U.S. brand in continental Europe today after four decades. The combination of Chrysler and Lancia is part of his plan to end losses in Europe and cut costs by 1.5 billion euros ($2.2 billion) by 2014. Under Fiat, Chrysler's sales slumped to about a quarter of their total with Daimler AG.
"We couldn't maintain the two brands everywhere so we had to decide," Olivier Francois, the Fiat executive who heads the Lancia and Chrysler brands, said in an interview. "Lancia has a higher awareness in Europe, while for the U.S. and the rest of the world, Chrysler is a more global brand."
The Turin, Italy-based automaker will consolidate Chrysler Group LLC's results starting this month, a sign of the rapid integration of the two carmakers since the Auburn Hills, Michigan-based manufacturer exited bankruptcy in June 2009. Fiat, which was initially granted a 20 percent stake by the U.S. government, aims to acquire 57 percent of the third-biggest U.S. automaker by the end of 2011.
Sales Slump
Europe is a weak link for Fiat, where it struggles to compete with Volkswagen AG and PSA Peugeot Citroen. The company, which doesn't breakdown results by region, lost about 1 billion euros last year on its home continent, according to Max Warburton, a London-based analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein.
"Fiat is unlikely to ever make Europe profitable," said Warburton, who has a "market perform" rating on Fiat. "There's little new product. In the next two years, market share will likely slide further."
Fiat's deliveries in Europe fell 17 percent in the first fourth months of 2011, while industry-wide sales slipped 2.4 percent and VW rose 5.3 percent. General Motors Co., which is expanding the Chevrolet brand in Europe, increased sales 2.1 percent in the January-April period. Marchionne acknowledges that European operations suffered as he focused on the U.S.
Global Jeep
Fiat will continue to sell Jeep models in Europe alongside Lancia. Marchionne aims to expand Chrysler's Jeep and Fiat's Alfa Romeo into global upscale brands as he forges an auto-making group to compete with GM and VW. Lancia will be a local European brand bolstered by Chrysler vehicles.
Chrysler failed to win over European customers, unlike GM and Ford Motor Co., which both outsell Fiat in the region. The U.S. carmaker bought a stake in France's Simca in 1958 and then sold its European operations to Peugeot in 1978. Under Stuttgart, Germany-based Daimler, the brand renewed its effort in Europe, with sales peaking at about 120,000 cars in 2007.
Last year, Chrysler's European deliveries slumped 27 percent to 36,900 vehicles, including Dodge and Jeep models. In the U.S., the group's sales rose 17 percent to 1.09 million.
Lancia's takeover of Chrysler's distribution network will boost the Italian brand's locations by 40 percent to 650 dealers. Chrysler will also provide more than sales outlets. The 300 sedan will be sold as the Lancia Thema starting in the fourth quarter, and other Chrysler models will be re-badged to give Lancia a broader lineup, including a version of the Grand Voyager minivan. The 200 may be renamed as the Flavia.
'Right Direction'
The goal is to more than double Lancia's sales to about 250,000 cars by 2014 from 99,400 last year. Overall, Marchionne aims to boost Fiat-Chrysler's combined sales to 104 billion euros by 2014 from about 66 billion euros last year. The combination with Chrysler is critical for Lancia, which is too small to survive on its own, Marchionne has said.
"It's going to be very difficult for Lancia to double sales as competition is very heavy," said Massimiliano Romano, head of research at brokerage Concentric Italy in Milan. "Marchionne is moving in the right direction. Margins are tiny, so you need to optimize resources."
Lancia was founded in Turin in 1906 by Vincenzo Lancia, a Fiat race car driver. It has vacillated between luxury and mass market over the years. In the 1950s and 1960s, Lancia went head-to-head against Jaguar and Maserati with luxurious coupes such as the Flamina and Flavia. After being acquired by Fiat in 1969, its models veered between race-bred sedans such as the Delta and big-box sedans such as the Thema. In the 1990s, the brand dipped down market, with the compact Y.
Ypsilon Model
Part of Lancia's makeover is the revamped Ypsilon compact, which will become a five-door hatchback in a bid to widen its appeal compared with the previous three-door-only version. The model, the brand's best seller, is one of only three current Lancia products and marks a rare new offering.
Fiat postponed the introduction of new models until the second half of 2011 in hopes of a recovery in European car demand. That tactic led to a loss of market share to 7.2 percent from 8.4 percent. Fiat plans to introduce five new cars this year, compared with nine in 2012 and 11 in 2013.
The Poland-built Ypsilon goes on sale today at a starting price of 12,400 euros. The target is to sell 120,000 Ypsilons a year, Francois said in a May 25 interview.
Italian Leather
For Chrysler, the cooperation with Lancia isn't just a one-way street. The brand will still exist in the U.K. and Ireland and will sell a version of Lancia's sporty Delta hatchback as well as the Ypsilon. Chrysler may also sell Ypsilons in Japan, South Korea, South Africa and Australia, the company said.
Even as it re-badges Chrysler and Lancia products, Fiat tries to account for regional sensibilities, such as Italian leather made by Poltrona Frau SpA in the Lancia version of the Chrysler 300. It's also bridging cultures with ads featuring Elisabetta Canalis, the Italian girlfriend of George Clooney, with the tagline, "Italian character meets American glamor."
For auto dealer Mazzali, he's spent more than 2 million euros to prepare his shops for Lancia. "We're ready for the change," he said.

I had my wedding reception here in October. The food was wonderful and the set up was so elegant and nice. It was in the crown ballroom which is gorgeous! The staff made my party feel totally catered to and at ease! I would recommend this beautiful venue to anyone!
I worked closely with Eliza Straney the events coordinator at this location and she was absolutely amazing!! She was always available, she helped in recommending other vendors, setting up a menu tasting and updating me on bridal shows.
I am professional event planner based in Los Angeles. My sister selected the Millennium Maxwell House for her Nashville wedding, and everything was wonderful. Eliza Straney, our Catering Manager, was the absolute embodiment of Southern Hospitality. She was organized, knowledgeable, responsive to requests, and above all, genuinely caring. She made the planning process a joy, and she also offered excellent vendor referrals. She was also flexible about planning the tasting when I was visiting from out of town.
Once the wedding weekend arrived, I found that the whole staff was top notch. Wafa, our Banquet Manager, did a wonderful job managing the service, and Mike the houseman really went the extra mile during set up. Five star service all the way!
I have worked with many vendors over the years and i have favored a few over the others. However you rate with the best, service was excellent.
The Millennium Maxwell House Hotel was so easy to work with throughout my whole wedding planning process. They made my wedding flow perfectly and made the entire night perfect. I did not worry about a thing. It was better than I could have ever imagined.
The wedding coordinator is wonderful and was always available whenever we needed her. We had no problems at all and I would doit all over again at this venue! It is a beautiful venue and very proffessional.
The Maxwell House exceeded our expectations thanks to our Catering Event Manager, Eliza, as as well Banquet Manager Cassandra! Every detail was executed and the service and food was superub! We would definitely use the Maxwell House again and again! The prices are the best in town; especially for all the perks you get!
The entire staff is extremely professional and kind. They do their best to make it special. They were extremely flexible when it came to the day of, and the weather was not cooperating. We waited until about 3 hours prior to make the call to move everything inside, and they took care of it without question. It really helped that I didn't have to worry about it. The night was absolutely perfect.
Do yourself a favor and book the reception in the top floor Crown Ballroom. The view of downtown Nashville is breathtaking.
Overall, great vendor. Ran into some issues with the room we had originally wanted for the reception but it worked out. Eliza was great to work with!
Great place for a reception. The room overlooks downtown Nashville providing a beautiful view. Food was very good and they did a great job making the room look beautiful. They went above and beyond in many cases.
Great Venue and staff were all very friendly and attentive to our requests the day of our wedding. The Crown Ballroom has great views of downtown. You also get more for your money here then what we found with other Nashville Venues.
we had the downstairs ball room the hotel was ok we didn't have too many problems with our reception that we were aware of...everything was ok...i would say we didn't like how the time slots worked and it was a little pricey for what you get and they kept mistakenly charging the card before we were ready which made my wife mad but they sorted it out everytime so whatever it was ok
Had my reception at their crown ballroom which is on the top floor of the hotel with two walls of windows so you can see the Nashville skyline. Great value for the hotels catering and great food. One thing is they lack professionalism. My payments were split up and to be taken out at intervals but they forgot to charge me for one month so they put the two payments together for another and then the night of they double charged everyone for hotel rooms. Poor communication with different parts of the hotel for example to block off rooms I had to send the rooming list 3 times before it got to the right person. Also, the hotel rooms were dingy, even the complementary suite they gave my husband and I.
It was good working with Hanna. she was able to work with us when people were cancelling on us last minute, when we could not find the right fabric to match the shashes and getting everything set up. I just think that when the responsibities were assign to someone else, everything nearly fell apart. We were told we could set up the day before, but they book someone in the room so we could do that. On the day of the weding, when I should have been relaxing, I had to spend most of the day running around getting things done. the weeding started late because of this. Had I setup the day before everything would have been perfect and not just great.
The location of this venue is very good and close to major freeways, which was very convenient for our wedding party and guests. The staff were not very professional, task oriented, friendly or effecient. Often, they would make promises and "forget" to honor them. Get EVERYTHING in writing.
The food was good and the location is really a blank canvas that you can use as you desire, which we appreciated.

I've never done a post highlighting what I thought the best toys I reviewed in a given year were. Since I'm in my third year of reviewing, it seems difficult to start such a thing now when so many of my favourites wouldn't get a mention as they were reviewed when my blog was only in it's infancy. So, I give you my favourites across all the years I have reviewed (so far) with the aim of producing "Best of Year X" posts in the future!
It was rather difficult to narrow down some categories down to a one or two toys. Check my toy box for products with hearts next to them for a broader view of my favourites.
Best Dildo: Tantus Anaconda.
The ridged head, lack of flexibility, matte texture and large size can make this dildo feel brutal at times, but I'll be damned if my vagina doesn't feel amazing whenever I work up the courage to use it. The handled design is unique and good for thrusting/partner use (plus it allows you to spank people with it). Definitely my favourite.
Runner up: Jopen Key Comet Wand (not yet reviewed, but fantastic G-spot stimulation).
Best Internal Vibrator: Fun Factory Big Boss/Fun Factory Stronic Eins.
I told myself I'd only pick one toy per category (with the possibility of some runner ups), but I can't choose between the Big Boss and the Stronic Eins. Arguably the Stronic Eins doesn't belong in this category because it thrusts rather than vibrates, but where else would I put it?
The Big Boss is large, rumbly, strong deliciousness. I compare all other internal vibrators I try to the Big Boss now. Terrible…
The Stronic Eins is just freaking amazing. It's the ultimate toy for lazy masturbators who love thrusting.
Best Clitoral Vibrator: Jimmyjane Form 2.
A lot of people hate the Form 2, which is fair enough. It has a tendency to go haywire (see the review for the full details). But it also happens to be the shape I find most stimulating. The Form 2 is easily my most used vibrator.
Runners up: Vibratex Mystic Wand (great for broad stimulation, cheap yet strong), We-Vibe Salsa (compact and strong pinpoint stimulation) and the Wahl (it's extremely cheap, crazy strong and makes me squirt).
Best Anal Toy: Tantus Ryder.
The Tantus Ryder is cheap and a good intermediate size. There's not much more to say. It's simple and it works.
Runner up: Njoy Pure Plugs.
Best Lubricant: Sliquid.
No parabens or glycerin to worry about. I love their thicker formulas (Sassy, Organics Gel). I really don't use much else.
Best Sensation Play Toy: Wartenberg Pinwheel.
An essential sensation play toy. They're usually pretty cheap too. They looks scary, but won't draw blood unless you're really rough with them.
Runners up: Violet wand and Japanese clover clamps (not reviewed as these are produced by a variety of manufacturers).
Other categories:
I haven't tried enough of each of the categories below to call any of them "the best", but I will tell you my favourites based on what I've tried so far.
Impact toys – I like material variety too much to be able to pick.
Cock rings – good experiences with Cock-a-hoops (not reviewed) and Spartacus Crave.
Masturbation sleeves – Bride likes the GTC Spider and doesn't see the need for an additional masturbator.
Vaginal/kegel balls – I've only tried Luna Beads but they're great.
Positioning – I've only tried the Wedge and don't see the need for much else.
Gags – Nothing stands out to me (I like variety).
Books – Nothing stands out to me, too many different genres within the broad "sex" category to pick just one or two.
Lingerie – Nothing stands out to me, too subjective based on body type.
Massage – Meh, depends whether you prefer an oil, candle or solid bar.

J.P. Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race 2014 organisers, The Island Sailing Club (ISC), are delighted to confirm that Sir Ben Ainslie, who is already committed to compete on June 21st, has accepted an invitation to present the prizes at the ISC's Race Prizegiving event at 12 noon on Sunday 22nd June.
Race photographer Paul Wyeth captures some close racing action in last year's RTI Race - J.P. Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race 2014
So, for anyone still wondering whether to compete this year, the opportunity to attend the prizegiving, and shake the great man's hand, should not be overlooked!
Last year's Round the Island Race will almost certainly be regarded as one of the best ever held since it was first run with 25 entries in 1931. On June 1st 2013, the weather was fabulous, the wind was just windy enough to produce exhilarating and competitive racing, there was a brilliant buzz throughout Cowes and in the Regatta Village in Cowes Yacht Haven.
The memorable moments were numerous and more people than ever followed the 'as live' Race progress on the website, through the live tracking and the Blog. The excitement was palpable right from the early morning gun, as the two Race records - fastest rounding in a multihull (the course record) and fastest rounding in a monohull, were being fought for as the rest of the UK was just waking up.
The current monohull race record set by Mike Slade on the 100ft ICAP Leopard on 1st June 2013 stands at 3.43.50. This is 9 minutes and 45 seconds inside ICAP Leopard's own race record set back in 2008.
The multihull race record set on 1st June 2013 by Sir Ben Ainslie on JP Morgan BAR, his AC45, stands at 2.52.15 beating by an impressive 16 minutes the previous multihull race record set by Francis Joyon in 2001 aboard Dexia Eure et Loire of 3.08.29.
Can anyone beat these superb record-setting achievements in 2014?
Adrenaline rush from the Leopard...
The adrenaline-fuelled Leopard (GBR1R), the Farr 100 and current holder of the Round the Island Race monohull record, will be back on the start line again this year with London-based property developer Mike Slade at the helm. Her name has reverted to Leopard and she's on the hunt for a new sponsor!
Leopard's professional yacht racing team comprises 20 talented and high profile crew members. A mix of America's Cup and Volvo Ocean Race sailors, along with her permanent crew, many have been sailing on the Leopard programs for a number of years in between other high profile racing commitments. Boat Captain Chris Sherlock has been with Leopard for 20 years and, as ever, he oversees the superb preparation of this magnificent yacht and her team before Mike Slade takes the helm on 21st June.
...and the holder of the Land Speed Record!
Whilst on the subject of records, Andy D. Green OBE BA RAF is a Wing Commander and fighter pilot and the World Land Speed Record holder! Andy was the first person to break the sound barrier on land.
Andrew Murdoch - 2015 Finn Gold Cup
On 25 September 1997, he was in Black Rock Desert in the USA and beat the previous record in ThrustSSC, reaching a speed of 714.144 miles per hour (1,149.303 km/h). On October 15, 1997, 50 years and 1 day after Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier in aerial flight, Green reached 763.035 miles per hour (1,227.986 km/h), the first supersonic record reaching Mach 1.016.
Things should be a tad more sedate for Andy as he and his wife race his Catalina 30 Mk3 Pickle (6432) round the 50nm Isle of Wight course.
In a class of her own?
Racing under IRC, EAT, SLEEP, J, REPEAT (GBR8888X) is a J/88 owned by Paul Ward from London, a brand new class of boat and winner of Yachts & Yachting's Best New Boat under 40ft in 2014. She's 29ft, a mid-size family speedster with stability, style and sailing comfort. The boat has received numerous plaudits in her media tests and she's definitely one to watch!
Charity begins at home
The Race organisers are delighted to welcome back Belle Serene (GBR1069L). Owner Christopher Barker raised more than £5,000 for Breast Cancer Care in his first Round the Island Race in 2007, shortly after his wife Zoe had been diagnosed with breast cancer. [http://www.justgiving.com/belleserene]
Now, seven years later, the couple from Haslemere in Surrey, will be joined by their young daughters, Annabel 12, and Serena, 10, after whom their Beneteau Cyclades 39.3 is named. The family is used to sailing together. Christopher reports the girls are looking forward to this year's event. 'They both enjoy dinghy sailing and racing on their own. But this is a big grown-up race and quite a spectacle, as we have explained to them.'
Clearly you are never too old to take part in the Round the Island Race. One competitor has listed his age as 773, speaking of which, next month we'll take a look at some of the classics already entered.
The Island Sailing Club is grateful for the continued support of the Race Title Sponsor, J.P. Morgan Asset Management, and the Race Partners for 2014: Dream Yacht Charter, Haven Knox-Johnston, Henri Lloyd, Nautica Watches, Old Pulteney Whisky, Raymarine, Red Funnel, Volvo Car UK.

Everyone has to face the vicissitudes of life. I hope Joan will adapt to his new lifestyle if he doesn't make a full recovery.On the other hand, all is not lost and Joan's fighting spirit and never-say-die attitude could work in his favour. He has to remain positive at all times in the hope that a medical miracle will effect his full recovery. No one will be more overjoyed than me to see him resume his career once again in the future.A supportive family structure will help him tremendously. I'm praying for your wellbeing Joan. Take care and God bless.

Intel Says No MeeGo Handsets Until 2011
Nokia has no comment.
Forbes reports that a mobile device with MeeGo natively installed won't ship until the first half of 2011. Doug Fisher, Vice President of Intel's Software and Solutions Group and General Manager of Intel's System Software Division said in a recent interview that a MeeGo-powered device might debut at a large trade show in early 2011, quelling any rumors that an official MeeGo phone might make a debut at this year's inaugural MeeGo Conference in Dublin.
MeeGo tablets are also scheduled to appear in 2011, save the German-made WeTab by Neofonie, which is available for preorder now and slated to launch later this year.
Intel's development partner Nokia has stayed silent on the delay, which isn't entirely surprising considering the recent shakeups in management. Recently, MeeGo Device VP Ari Jaaksi left the company for undisclosed reasons.
Still Fisher is confident in the operating system's road map. Saying that MeeGo has been hitting its dates, some of them early. Later this month MeeGo 1.1 will become available, which includes additional telephony and touch support for tablets and smartphones.
Currently, Nokia is the only company onboard to produce MeeGo devices. But Intel is currently in talks with other OEMs.

Some experts see a real threat from Khorasan, but the previously unnamed group also gives the White House more flexibility in dealing with Congress.
Airstrikes alone will not be enough, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Friday. The fight in Syria against the Islamic State promises to be particularly complex, with a need for as many as 15,000 trained rebel fighters.
The assassination and intimidation campaign waged by Islamist militants, as well as the cronyism practiced by the former Iraqi prime minister, have led to an erosion of confidence, says the retired general who took command of the training effort for Iraqi security forces in 2007.
Fully half of all current Iraqi security forces 'are not trainable,' because they are too sectarian, says Army Chief of Staff Ray Odierno. And it could take years to win back the trust of Sunni tribes.
When an atheist enlisted man scratched out 'So help me God' on his reenlistment document, the Air Force said he couldn't reenlist. That decision was quickly reversed when embarrassment and the threat of a lawsuit based on the US Constitution followed.
Command Sgt. Major Bennie Adkins was wounded 18 times and killed up to 175 enemy soldiers. Spc. Donald Sloat was killed in 1970, saving his fellow soldiers' lives by picking up a live enemy grenade and drawing it to his body.
An atheist airman scratched out 'So help me God' on his Air Force reenlistment document. The Air Force alone among US military services requires that phrase, which has raised legal questions about freedom of – and from – religion.
Two days after Navy jets crashed in the Pacific, the result of an apparent mid-air collision, one of the pilots remains missing. Navy officials have yet to reveal any details about the accident involving two F/A-18C Hornet fighters.
The Pentagon should join the battle against the illegal wildlife trade amid evidence that terror groups are profiting from poaching, the former head of US Africa Command said at a Capitol Hill briefing.
Two US Navy F/A-18C Hornet fighter jets crash into Pacific while on a training flight, the result of an apparent mid-air collision. One pilot was rescued, but the other has not been found.
The US military 'is ready to conduct direct action against ISIL targets in Syria,' said a senior defense official Thursday.
On Tuesday, the Senate weighed police use of military hardware provided for free by the Pentagon. The program, known as 1033, came to national attention in the wake of the Ferguson protests.
Many have argued that the Islamic State now represents a far greater prospect of peril to US interests than Al Qaeda does. But experts see differences between IS and the Al Qaeda of pre-9/11.
US officials have promised that the military airstrikes will not abate. President Obama said Wednesday that Islamic State brutality toward American journalists will only strengthen US resolve to fight the group.
Pentagon war-gamers are looking ahead to how war will evolve. It's likely to be fought in megacities where resources are being fought over and enemies could be aided by bio and nanotech advances.
Douglas McAuthur McCain, who was killed while battling rebel forces in a Syrian suburb, made it clear on social media that he found camaraderie and a sense of conviction in the Islamic State.
Senior US military officials have been increasingly vocal about the need to treat the Islamic State as a regional threat, which could involve US military action in Syria.
The Pentagon is pushing back against the notion that their 1033 program is 'militarizing' local police forces. But officers there acknowledge that some police departments have misused some equipment more suited for combat.
US intelligence officials still know relatively little about the workings of Islamic State militants. James Foley may have been traded by insurgent groups before ending up in IS hands, which complicates the intelligence picture.
President Obama said he hoped that the role of the National Guard would be limited, and suggested that local police departments reexamine their use of heavy military equipment when confronting protesters.
