Hycolene™ Surpasses Expectations In First Commercial Trial
9th November 2015
Luxus is pleased to announce that its high performance recycled content polymer range, Hycolene™ has surpassed expectations in its first full scale commercial trial that took place in September at moulder IAC's plant based in Lincolnshire.
Hycolene is a faster cycling range of scratch resistant, lightweight (PP) compounds that help deliver improved Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) - it features up to 60% recycled content. The range has been developed to target Europe's automotive interior trim market, by helping to satisfy both 'end-of-life' vehicle (ELV) and emissions targets.
The first full scale commercial results have shown that the scratch performance of Hycolene has significantly improved on the current product. It will therefore deliver a high quality finish; a key requirement given design and aesthetics are increasingly important in the cabin.
The trial also demonstrated that Hycolene can produce a much faster cycle time delivering moulders a substantial 8-12% saving, as more parts per tonne can be processed - satisfying Tier 1 targets in addition to OEM's lightweighting requirements.
Dr Christel Croft, technical director at Luxus, comments: "These results have confirmed that the enhanced performance of the Hycolene range has not only been maintained, but in some instances have surpassed expectations.
"It has shown too, that Hycolene can really help improve life cycle analysis, since this 'tool' takes into account all the factors affecting a product's environmental footprint. It also has the potential to be used as a true 'drop in' solution by Tier 1's."
Luxus announced earlier this year, that it has as part of a consortium recently secured a €1.4m investment, co-funded by the EU Eco-Innovation initiative, part of the EU's Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (EIP). Its members are injection moulding company IAC for materials trials, twin screw manufacturer Coperion for technical support and Jaguar Land Rover offering end user guidance.
The commercial trial followed initial scale-up tests, these focused on different formulations, screw designs and process conditions at Coperion's pilot plant based in Stuttgart in the Spring this year. The results were then jointly analysed by Luxus and Coperion before recommendations were made to the rest of the consortium to agree that the first commercial trial could take place.
For the trial itself, identical formulations, screw design and process conditions were created using Luxus' bespoke Coperion extruder to establish scale-up parameters. This was to ensure the best environment for the first full scale batch to be used by IAC for its moulding trial. The consortium partners all agreed that the column shroud should be adopted for this trial since it's a critical class 'A' visual component in the cabin.
Dave Jenkins, product engineering, International Automotive Components Group Ltd, comments: "From my perspective this was a very encouraging first trial, although further trials are required to fully optimise the product. A range of components also need to be run, so we can understand the material's strengths and weaknesses. These will commence once the initial component lab testing is completed satisfactorily."
As for the future, the next step is to repeat the commercial production improving screw design and process conditions following these initial results to improve material qualities. Luxus will then produce different grades of Hycolene and work with IAC to produce further parts for statistical analysis.
Luxus technicians will also be considering new markets where lightweighting and scratch-resistance are of benefit such as the educational furniture market for example.

Luxus also offers specialist 'closed loop' and 'open loop' recycling services to manage 'end of life' post industrial and consumer waste for the retail transit packaging, construction and local authority wheel bin markets.
Ron Tonn - plastics recycling pioneer and founder of Lincolnshire compounder and recycler Luxus, died suddenly on Wednesday 12th August 2015 from heart failure. He was 83 years old.
Born in Chicago in 1932 amidst the Great Depression, he went on to become a US army veteran having seen active service in the Korean War in his early twenties.
Ron Tonn, whose career in plastics spanned five decades began trading in polymers for American based Muehlstein in the mid 1950's. He was subsequently sent to the UK to help manage the company's European arm at the age of 25, which he headed up just a year later.
He was later to establish his own business, Luxus on the 15th January 1965. The name Luxus came from his German grandmother, since she often described him as her 'Du bist ein luxus kind' which literally translates as luxury's child.
At the company's incorporation, it became his 'luxury child' since he didn't have sufficient finance for such a venture at the time. Luxus was also a preferred brand name adopted by German manufacturers to suggest luxury e.g. The Opal Luxus.
Ron Tonn's early projects included doing a couple of national TV adverts in front of the camera for major household names Oxo and St Bruno Tobacco. A long term income however, would not come from that route.
Then one day he received a call from an old Muehlstien contact offering him a parcel of substandard polyethylene to sell. He knew instantly how to find a willing buyer and so another offer quickly followed. Both deals realised more profit than he had made in the previous two years - his new venture was born.
His burgeoning plastics recovery business was quickly growing, so he approached a small granulation company Mavelat, to fulfil its custom granulation work. This was done from its factory based in St Albans that was later to relocate to Eve Street in Louth in 1967. At that time everything was loaded by hand out of Louth with a lot of export going via rail.
Peter Laking, engineering and project manager at Luxus recalls those early days: "We always had the upmost respect for Ron. He was never afraid to get his hands dirty, he'd help with the granulator work if needed and wanting to understand everything there was to know about the materials we were using.
"More than that, he wanted to incentivise us all too. In the early days when we were sifting powder, he said "If you can sift 10 tonnes a day I'll buy you a bottle of whisky!" When we did he bought the team a gallon of whisky – those were of course very different times!"
Ron Tonn often described coming to the UK as his true 'rebirth', since it marked for him a fundamental shift from simply trading plastics in the 'old days' in America. Luxus was instead about recovering existing waste plastics by re-engineering material that would otherwise be destined for landfill.
The mantra 'reduce, reuse and recycle' was gaining popularity in the mid 1960s. The time was right for Ron Tonn's sustainable ethos. Marking the beginning of what we now understand as today's plastics recovery industry.
He was later to become a British citizen too, proof enough of his belief in his business and his affection for his newly adopted homeland.
Modernity came when Luxus had the opportunity to purchase nylon scrap from pads used for rail tracks laid on concrete tiles for a ready market in America. This required joint investment in a heavy duty granulator, so a formal partnership with Mavelat began.
Luxus however, was soon to do the bulk of the business so the joint venture quickly became cumbersome for this entrepreneur. Ron Tonn then had to raise the necessary funds to buy out of the Mavelat partnership which he did manage to secure. This as it happens was great timing, just before the 1970's oil crisis when demand for recycled plastics was to spiral.
In 1976 Luxus was one of the first businesses to buy premises on the Fairfield Industrial Estate in Louth. Ron Tonn continued to manage the business successfully despite the subsequent 1980's recession before retiring in 1997. His true 'back to the floor' approach to decision making has been passed to its present managing director, Peter Atterby.
Peter Atterby, managing director, Luxus, described Ron Tonn as "a dear friend, a great and charismatic man and one of the UK's few genuine plastics recycling pioneers. Ron created a business that was managed largely by hand in the early days to one that was at the very forefront of technology accelerating with a growing plastics industry. Luxus as a result, became a true leader in its field. He will be very sadly missed."
The business that Ron Tonn started as a young American entrepreneur turned 50 this year. At its golden anniversary celebration, he paid tribute to his predecessor Peter Atterby, he said: "That man has taken it (the company) such a distance since he took over the reins. It is totally unrecognisable."
Today Luxus is a £25m turnover business operating in global markets and still fulfilling its founder's pioneering vision for a more sustainable future.

The physiological effects of episodic pH fluctuations on Atlantic salmon Salmo salar smolts in eastern Maine, U.S.A., were investigated. During this study, S. salar smolts were exposed to ambient stream-water chemistry conditions at nine sites in four catchments for 3 and 6 day intervals during the spring S. salar smolt migration period. Plasma chloride, plasma glucose, gill aluminium and gill Na+- and K+-ATPase levels in S. salar smolts were assessed in relation to ambient stream-water chemistry during this migration period. Changes in both plasma chloride and plasma glucose levels of S. salar smolts were strongly correlated with stream pH, and S. salar smolt mortality occurred in one study site with ambient stream pH between 5·6 and 5·8 during the study period. The findings from this study suggest that physiological effects on S. salar smolts are strongly correlated with stream pH and that in rivers and streams with low dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations the threshold for physiological effects and mortality probably occurs at a higher pH and shorter exposure period than in rivers with higher DOC. Additionally, whenever an acidification event in which pH drops below 5·9 coincides with S. salar smolt migration in eastern Maine rivers, there is potential for a significant reduction in plasma ions of S. salar smolts.

After a 16-day break for the Olympics, the NHL jumps back into action Tuesday night.
The Carolina Hurricanes visit the Buffalo Sabres in a snow makeup game, there are four games Wednesday and a full slate Thursday.
Non-Olympians have been practicing for a week, and Olympians have been trickling home on NHL charters, based on when they were eliminated. Swedish and Canadian players, who played in Sunday's gold medal game, are expected to return to practice today.
General managers have nine days to assess their teams before the trade deadline.
And teams also have to deal with a host of Olympic-related injuries.
A look at some teams:
New York Islanders
They received the most devastating injury news when center John Tavares, their leading scorer and the No. 3 scorer in the league, suffered a torn knee ligament that will end his season.
The Islanders had an uphill battle without him because they are 12 points out of a playoff spot with 22 games to go. Could his absence push them to trade Thomas Vanek? They gave up draft picks and Matt Moulson to land him and would like to get something back for the soon-to-be unrestricted free agent if they don't think he'll re-sign.
Detroit Red Wings
Captain Henrik Zetterberg had back surgery after he aggravated an earlier condition at the Olympics.
Pavel Datsyuk's knee seemed to hold up well at the Olympics as he was the best player for Russia.
The Red Wings, who have been banged up all season, sit in eighth place, and their 22-year playoff streak is on the line.
"We've got to get ready for the playoffs," coach Mike Babcock said after winning gold with Canada on Sunday. "I don't quite know how we're going to do it, but we're going to do it."
Buffalo Sabres
Ted Nolan's coaching reputation got a bump when he led Latvia to the quarterfinals and stayed tied with Canada until late in that game.
But the Sabres are far out of a playoff spot, and new general manager Tim Murray has to decide what to do with unrestricted free agents Ryan Miller, Steve Ott and Moulson.
Washington Capitals
Nicklas Backstrom's positive doping test - he takes the allergy medicine Zyrtec-D and had an elevated level of pseudoephedrine in his system - won't affect his ability to play in the NHL because the substance isn't on the league's banned list. But how will his psyche be after he was denied an opportunity to play in the gold medal game?
Also, captain Alex Ovechkin also didn't have a good Olympic experience, and now his father is dealing with heart issues.
Pittsburgh Penguins
Just as people began wondering about the effectiveness of Penguins linemates Sidney Crosby and Chris Kunitz because of their lack of goals in Sochi, both scored in the gold medal game.
The question is whether general manager Ray Shero will trade for another winger to replace injured linemate Pascal Dupuis.
Chicago Blackhawks
The defending champions had 10 players at the Olympics, including six in the gold medal game.
But before you worry about fatigue, remember that the Blackhawks had a heavy representation at the Vancouver Olympics in 2010 and won the Stanley Cup that spring. Those players weren't dealing with a 10-hour time difference, though.

By HENRY GEORGE FARMER
So far as our present knowledge goes, the earliest civilization was that of Mesopotamia, where an amazingly advanced stage of society existed in the fourth millennium B.C. at the very latest. The centre of this cultural elevation was in southern Mesopotamia, a land often called Babylonia, between 30° and 34° north latitude. In the upper part of this land, later called Akkad, was a linguistically Semitic group, while in the lower part there may have been other Semites. Before 4000 B.C. the latter were supplanted by a people called Sumerians, who spoke a non-Semitic tongue so strange that we cannot even say from whence they came. Their land was known as Sumer. The culture of the newcomers is generally considered to have been far in advance of that of the land of their adoption, so much so that it soon influenced both Akkad in the north and contiguous territories. In spite of this, it seems unwise to refer to the people of either Sumer or Akkad, per se, as the creators or stabilizers of this culture, since we know little or nothing of the earlier history of either.
If we view the movement of history in the light of the conditions which increase men's knowledge, it seems that the most potent results are to be found where the greatest number of culture-contacts meet. For this reason, it is of Mesopotamian civilization that we speak, rather than of Sumerian or Akkadian. Thus we are compelled to look beyond strictly geographical limits in our survey of Mesopotamian music of the distant past, for indeed all peoples on what Breasted calls 'the fertile crescent' and its periphery must come within this purview, because it was by reason of admixture of stock, contrasts in habits, diversities in religion, and even friction of interests, that cross- fertilizations of ideas were produced, which made the supreme greatness and vitality of Mesopotamian civilization possible.
Nowadays, when scarcely a month passes without some fresh archaeological discovery, or a new philological deduction being registered, it is difficult to speak with any chronological certainty. That being so, many of the early dates that will be posited in what follows

Demi Moore Sheds 'MrsKutcher' Twitter Handle
Entertainment Tonight.
Her divorce has yet to be finalized, but Demi Moore has officially shed the title of Mrs. Kutcher-- On Twitter, that is.
RELATED: Demi On Why She's Still 'MrsKutcher' on Twitter
"Thanks everyone for your help in finding my new name!" posted Moore to her Twitter page this afternoon, as she unveiled her straightforward new handle to the world. "So hard finding a name that was fun somewhat playful and available. So for now it will be @justdemi It could grow on me!"
Last December, the formerly prolific tweeter announced to her followers that the change wasn't "a priority" following inquiry as to why she hadn't changed her handle nearly a month after filing for divorce from Ashton Kutcher. "Sorry it bothers so many of u," she wrote. "Should I not tweet until I do?does it really matter?"
In the months since, Moore has remained in the public eye following a highly publicised meltdown and subsequent stint in a treatment center. Most recently, the 49-year-old debuted her new show The Conversation, for which she is a producer.

Over 25 percent of Minnesota households use on-site sewage treatment systems, commonly referred to as septic systems, to treat their wastewater. While septic systems are designed and installed by licensed professionals to meet the needs of individual sites, homeowners are responsible for the system 's operation and maintenance. Often septic systems fail because owners do not maintain them after installation.
This publication provides basic information homeowners need to:
Septic systems protect human health and the environment by safely recycling wastewater back into the natural environment. Septic systems treat wastewater as well as, or better than, municipal treatment systems at a reasonable cost when properly designed, installed, operated, and maintained.
Federal, state, and local regulation of on-site systems focuses on proper treatment of sewage to protect citizens, communities, and the environment.
In typical on-site treatment systems, all wastewater is co-mingled, treated, and dispersed by one system. There are a few separation systems in which toilet wastes are treated separately from other wastewater.
Common septic systems all have three basic components: plumbing, septic tank, and a soil treatment area. Individual systems may have variations of each of these.
The wastewater side of household plumbing collects used water from fixtures and appliances and delivers it to the treatment system(s).
Septic Tank
The septic tank is a solid watertight tank, or series of tanks, that receives waste water. It separates the solids from the liquids and stores the solids until they are decomposed or removed. The liquid, called effluent, is delivered to the soil treatment system.
Inlet and outlet baffles trap the floating solids in the tank. Inspection pipes allow monitoring of the tank and the manhole facilitates cleaning.
The size of the septic tank is based on the home's potential water use volume and the type of appliances used. In aerobic tank systems, pumps and other mechanisms are necessary to deliver air to the tank.
Soil Treatment Area
The soil treatment part of the typical septic system is a network of perforated pipes or tubes surrounded by small rock and soil. Some designs use large plastic tubes or chambers instead of rock to disperse effluent from the tank into the surrounding soil.
The design of the treatment area (trench, mound, etc.) is based on the soil condition. The soil in the treatment area must not be saturated with water for extended periods of time during the year. Three feet of unsaturated soil below the system is necessary to complete the treatment process.
The size of the soil treatment area needed depends on the volume of water to be treated and the type of soil on the site. For example, a much larger soil area is needed for a large home or a home on clay soil than for a small home or one on sandy soil.
Pumps and a lift station may be components of a system where gravity flow doesn't work. For example, in mounds and drip irrigation systems a pump is required to provide pressurized flow for distribution of effluent.
Sometimes enhancements, known as pretreatments, are added to septic systems. Some of the options are aerobic tanks, single pass or recirculating sand or peat filters, and constructed (lined) wetlands. These are located between the septic tank and the soil treatment system to improve the performance of the system or provide treatment in difficult soil conditions (for example, shallow bedrock or high water tables). These may require additional pumps and control devices.
Separation technology systems may require containers in the home that collect and compost solid organic wastes. Other devices may collect and store wastewater for delivery to a soil treatment or dispersal unit.
In the typical system, raw sewage is collected by the plumbing in the home and delivered to the septic tank. There the light solids float to the top, forming a scum layer, and the heavy solids sink to the bottom, forming sludge.
In the tank, organic solids such as food particles and human waste are decomposed by millions of naturally occurring bacteria.
The septic tank delivers the partially treated liquids, or effluent, to the soil treatment area. Effluent contains pathogens (disease-causing organisms), nutrients, and some fine solids. A thin layer of fine solids, dead bacteria, and soil bacteria, called a biomat, forms naturally where the effluent enters the soil. The biomat restricts the flow sufficiently to keep the soil beneath unsaturated.
The unsaturated soil contains oxygen which allows aerobic bacteria to live and destroy pathogens. These air spaces also force nutrients such as phosphorus and sodium to come in direct contact with soil particles to which they become attached. A portion of the nitrogen passes through into the groundwater. After passing through the unsaturated soil, the now harmless water evaporates into the air or returns to the soil and groundwater system. In regular septic tanks, the bacteria are anaerobic, that is, they live without air in the liquid. In aerobic tanks, the bacteria are aerobic and require air to live.
Failure of your or a neighbor's septic system means that wastewater may come in contact with people or enter the natural environment without complete treatment of all harmful contents. Indicators of problems or a failing system include the following:
System failure is most commonly the result of improper design or installation of the system, overuse of water in the home, or lack of proper maintenance.
Improper Design or Installation
This may be the result of mistakes made by the professionals when the system was installed. It is also possible that the wrong system was chosen for the site and soil conditions (for example, high water table, shallow bedrock) or that the residence has been modified to house more people or to use fixtures or appliances that the system was not designed for or sized to handle.
Overuse of Water
The typical Minnesota resident (man, woman, or child) uses about 100 gallons of water per day. Systems are sized for typical water use, but abnormally high usage or accidental overuse (such as from leaky fixtures) can quickly overload the system. A system partially damaged from improper maintenance may not be able to treat even typical volumes of water. This situation often occurs when a home of one or two people is sold to a family of five or six causing water use to increase dramatically.
Improper Maintenance
The solids that accumulate in the septic tank must be removed regularly. If excessive scum or sludge builds up, it will begin to enter the soil treatment area and over time will plug it. It is recommended that a septic tank be cleaned (pumped) through the manhole, removing all solids, every one to three years. Cleaning frequency depends on several factors, including the number of people in the home, the size of the tank, and the use of a garbage disposal. The complete removal of solids from the tank requires flushing and back-flushing between the tank and the truck several times.
Proper operation and maintenance will prevent costly repairs and replacement in the future.
Control water use
Eliminate harmful products from the system
Do not use additives
It is not necessary to use additives to enhance the performance of a properly operating system. If the level of bacterial activity is low, it is because disinfectants and other products are killing them. Reduce or eliminate the use or disposal of these products in the system to allow the bacteria to re-establish. Some additives cause solids to become suspended in the liquids. These solids will end up in the drain field, causing significant damage.
Regularly clean/pump and inspect the septic tank
The septic tank must be cleaned or pumped regularly to remove all solids. Never go into the septic tank. It lacks oxygen and contains dangerous gases.
Maintain pumps and filters properly
Protect the soil treatment area

What can the iPad be used for?
View Single Post
May 1 2010, 12:45 PM
Rear Admiral
Location: 9th level of Hell
Re: What can the iPad be used for?
A couple points.
One why do people make arguments that they can't see spending $500 (and change) for something that is a passive media device. Do we not already do just that, and have done that for decades. It's called television and they are in more homes then computers. Hell we had VCR, then DVD players, and cable boxes, then DVR's and Blu-Ray players all for having a stable media device.
So clearly there is absolutely a market, a vast one at that. That is geared to being a fully passive video device.
I love mine (with very few quibbles). I have read several books now and have had no problem (one quibble is in direct sun light, ie if you read outdoors, it works poorly, but thats something I don't do outdoors) and have not been bothered at all by weight (again I have several large books that weight more then the ipod).
Internet as mentioned above is avery beautiful thing, but it isn't what eats the most of my time.
Video isn't perfect (no 1080, but 720) and the ability to take with me a vast selection of video and get into almost any position (sorry no laptop can do this) worth a screen large enough to make the viewing experience enjoyable (unlike phone/ a large mp3 players). One that I can easily use in bed at night with my boyfriend and not disturb each other, and both fit on the bed (this was a problem with laptops, even our net books taking up to much room).
Comics, simply put I would have bought it just for this. I have half a TB of digital comics that I love being able to fully access and enjoy.
My best friend is using it for children books (the color something quite common in books for children) and screen quality really are a joy. And on the go so much easier for story time (in the car, waiting for the other kids fits easily in a her purse and allows a variety in the amount of space one book would take).
It truly is a great all around mobile media device, in a way that laptops aren't. And on the media device side it has one vast, vast advantage that has nothing to do with its mobility or weight. And thats it's exceptional battery life. I mean to watch the Theatrical cuts of the Lord of the Rings and not have to recharge or be wired in, is simply not possible on any laptop I have seen.
I have yet to travel with this, but clearly as a mobile media device its ability to nail so many forms of media and do it for such a long period of time and in such a small (yet still large enough to be enjoyable) should be a huge boon for travelers, and packing.
Now to another quibble, the lack of camera's. Personally I hate cameras. Don't use them on my phone, don't use them on my computers, just don't use them. And I certainly don't see the need for one to really be used to take photos. But I can understand for people who like to video conference (I have a coworker who's only means of seeing her family is this form of communication) and in that regard I do hope they eventually add this.
Quibble #3 is being addressed and according to news reports will work on the first versions of the Ipad (which is nice thank you), and thats multitasking. Not a huge issue for my use, as it does allow my primary multitasking music and reading already, but it is still something that is needed and should be up very soon.
Quibble #4 If you are a huge video watcher from the net as opposed to owning your own media (my personal preference) then its forever lack of flash is limiting. But this hardly ever effects me. But everyone is different on this issue. And for many this can be a huge factor.
Games, while the games on the Ipad so far are far, far superior to the products for the iphone, they aren't going to replace console or Computer games. But they kick the crap out of any portable game system I have seen. But this is something that I not that into (my boyfriend is far, far more the gammer then I will ever be).
And for those who are looking for something to fully replace your laptop, this isn't it. For starters it isn't supposed to as it needs a home computer (laptop or desktop to act as its hub).
But to expect it to, seems illogical to me. When laptops first came out, how long did it take to get laptops that were cheaper and did everything as well as desktops? I don't even know if we are there now and laptops have been out for many, many years.
Another often mentioned complaint is that the device isn't geared for being a creative platform, but one of consumption. Which isn't 100% true but it is geared more for consumption then creation.
But I don't see that as being much of a limiting factor as most of the computer use in the US is consumption and not creative.
But it is a luxury item (as all media devices and computers devices are).
For me and my boyfriend we both loved it enough that we ordered are 2nd one today. And neither of us are exclusive Apple consumers as we both have computers both from apple and others, mp3 players from apple and others, and only one of us has had an iphone. In fact its the first apple product that we both immediately fell in love with.
My fandom will SALT and BURN your fandom!

Britney's Collapse Not Really All That Dramatic?
Britney's Collapse Not Really All That Dramatic?
We reported earlier that Britney collapsed at PURE where she was hosting a NYE party. Now reports are that the popstar was just asleep. Talk about damage control. Thanks to Trent for uploading his Britney viewing experience from earlier in the evening prior to her passing out. The question is, did she simply pass out since she was tired or did she really collapse? Here's more:
"By about one o'clock, she was just done, so we took her out," Spears' manager, Larry Rudolph, told The Associated Press Monday. "She was not drunk. She was just tired and falling asleep."
Rudolph denied reports circulating on gossip Web sites that Spears, 25, collapsed shortly after midnight and was carried out by bodyguards. The star was hired to host the festivities at Ceasars Palace's PURE nightclub.
Rudolph said Spears walked out of the club and did not seek medical attention.
"There is nothing out of the ordinary here," he said.
We are glad to hear she is okay. We hope the tired mom got her well needed beauty sleep and let's hope she kicks off the rest of the year in the right direction.

dam right it's creepy
typical sleaze fb move -
FB gave Users opt out Option,
It should have been an OPT-IN Option
What gets me is they automatically allow users private data to be strewn across the internet instead of give the User the choice oF "OPTING IN, FIRST"
One thing I don't get is why people aren't more concerned that their statuses and wall posts are linked to "relevant" community pages? This means you statuses are available thought these pages for the world to see if they go there and that your friends can see wall posts between you and "x" even if your friend is not friends with "x". Try going to the community page for a common keyword like "believe" if you don't... ahem.... believe me.
Yes, there's a fine line between personalization and being creepy -- need to provide the user the control first -- if it's a good feature, then they will come.
Pete Kovac
The scary part here of FB, is that sentiment can turn in an instant. The moment a company believes they are in control, the consumer will prove them wrong. If anyone believes FB is bulletproof, look up MySpace.
The meeting this afternoon may be their best chance to avoid a crisis.
Joe Sciara
The real question is how do you disable the features on the WSJ.com website?
The creepiest thing is that this appears to be a one-way session -- top management telling the troops to shut up and get moving, instead of asking for input. No respect for them and none for the users either.
Creepiest thing is that they're treating their troops just like users -- lots of "explaining," but no hint of listening.
One thing I don't get is why people aren't more concerned that their statuses and wall posts are linked to "relevant" community pages? This means you statuses are available thought these pages for the world to see if they go there and that your friends can see wall posts between you and "x" even if your friend is not friends with "x". http://www.diyhomeideas.org/

Respond to Review of Govinda's
by iceicekati
Review: I`ve had better food at other Govindas. Maybe it was an off day. The atmosphere is cool though and it`s worth checking out since they have movies, events and stuff. For 6000 pesos i expected a bit more though, the food was cold and kind of plain.

Headlines June 02, 2010 Full Show | First Story >
Flotilla Survivors Deported from Israel
Survivors aboard the flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip have begun to provide their accounts of the Israeli assault that left at least nine people dead and sparked an international uproar. Israel has begun deporting the 682 people seized from the ships during the assault. Many have challenged Israeli military claims that soldiers acted in self-defense after repelling onto the Mavi Marmara. Some say Israeli troops opened fire before boarding the vessel. Passengers on other ships in the flotilla say they were threatened at gunpoint.
Aid Ship Continues Gaza Trek as New Flotilla Planned
Despite the assault, another aid ship has set sail for Gaza intending to challenge the Israeli blockade. The ship is named after Rachel Corrie, who was crushed to death by an Israeli military bulldozer in March 2003. The European Campaign to End the Siege on Gaza, meanwhile, has announced it's planning a flotilla of even more ships than the first to set sail for Gaza in the coming weeks.
US Maintains Refusal to Condemn Flotilla Assault
The Obama administration has refused to condemn the Israeli assault. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton outlined the US stance in Washington.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: "The United States supports the Security Council's condemnation of the acts leading to this tragedy, and we urge Israel to permit full consular access to the individuals involved and to allow the countries concerned to retrieve their deceased and wounded immediately. We urge all concerned countries to work together to resolve the status of those who were part of this incident as soon as possible. We support, in the strongest terms, the Security Council's call for a prompt, impartial, credible and transparent investigation. We support an Israeli investigation that meets those criteria."
Ban: Lifting Gaza Blockade Would Have Prevented Flotilla Deaths
All the permanent members of the Security Council except for the United States have called for Israel's three-year blockade of the Gaza Strip to be lifted. On a visit to Uganda, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon renewed his demand for an end to the blockade.
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: "Had the Israeli government heeded to international calls and my own strong and urgent and persistent call to lift the blockade of Gaza, this would not have happened. Therefore, it is again very important and urgently required that Israelis would immediately lift this blockade of Gaza."
Thousands Worldwide Protest Flotilla Assault
Global protest, meanwhile, continues to grow in the aftermath of the assault. Tens of thousands of people turned out in rallies across the world Tuesday, from South Africa to Greece to Lebanon to England to cities across the United States. Here in New York, a large crowd marched on the Israeli consulate.
Remi Kanazi: "I think anybody, a person of conscience, should be here today to stand in solidarity with the Gaza boats, with the aid boats, with the people of Gaza. I mean, as an American citizen, my tax dollars are going to fund every single Israeli bullet, every Apache helicopter, Hellfire missile, cluster bomb, white phosphorus, and I think we need to stand up. It's important to educate, but it's also important to take action. And being in the streets or engaging in boycott, divestment and sanctions, we need to be engaged in the community, we need to be part of the grassroots, and we need to be moving things forward and standing in solidarity with Palestinian society."
US Student Loses Eye After Israel Fires on West Bank Protest
Meanwhile, an American college student has lost her left eye after being shot in the face by an Israeli tear-gas canister during a protest against the flotilla assault in the occupied West Bank. The student, twenty-one-year-old Emily Henochowicz, underwent surgery in a Jerusalem hospital on Tuesday. The Israeli peace activist Jonathan Pollak witnessed the attack.
Jonathan Pollak: "It was a spontaneous and quite small demonstration against the atrocious violence on that ship coming to Gaza, a hundred people at its largest at the beginning. And at the time Emily was shot, there were about, I don't know, twenty people at most there. Emily was standing aside from where things were happening, and at some point the border police officers just started shooting indiscriminately, shooting directly at us tear-gas projectiles, one from a very small distance of about twenty, ten to twenty meters. Emily was hit in the face by one of those, and it was intentionally aimed towards us. There could have been no mistake, the small distance and the place where she was standing at."
Emily Henochowicz is an undergraduate at Cooper Union New York.
Justice Dept. Opens Civil, Criminal Probes of BP Oil Spill
The Justice Department has confirmed it's opened a criminal and civil investigation into the BP oil spill in the Gulf Coast, now believed to be the worst environmental disaster in US history. Eric Holder made the announcement following a meeting with federal and state prosecutors in New Orleans.
Attorney General Eric Holder: "Yes, we have begun both a criminal as well as a civil investigation, as is our obligation under the law. Our environmental laws are very clear, and we have a responsibility to enforce them, and we will do so. I don't want to describe exactly who is under investigation. At this point the investigation is and has been ongoing for some time, but I wouldn't want to specify at this point who the targets or the subjects are of that investigation."
News of the investigation helped plunge BP's stock value 15 percent on Tuesday. BP also announced it's effectively abandoned any hope of plugging the breached well and instead will try to siphon off the leak until relief wells are completed in August. Earlier in the day, President Obama promised a thorough probe after meeting with the chairs of the bipartisan commission investigating the oil spill.
President Obama: "Untold damage is being done to the environment, damage that could last for decades. We owe all those who have been harmed, as well as future generations, a full and vigorous accounting of the events that led what has now become the worst oil spill in US history. Only then can we be assured that deepwater drilling can take place safely."
Oil Sheen Approaching Florida Coast
Florida, meanwhile, is set to become the fourth state directly impacted by the oil spill. State officials say an oil sheen is now just nine miles from Pensacola and could make landfall as early as today. We'll have more on the oil spill later in the broadcast.
Japanese PM Resigns After Backtracking on US Base
In Japan, Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama has resigned over his broken promise to move a US military base off the island of Okinawa. Hatoyama sparked outrage last month when he decided to relocate the base to the north side of the island, as originally agreed upon with the United States. Local residents opposed the move, which came just weeks after some 90,000 people held a rally to call for the base's removal. Half the estimated 47,000 US troops in Japan are stationed on Okinawa.
US Lawyer Hospitalized After Jailing in Rwanda
An American lawyer has been imprisoned in Rwanda shortly after arriving to defend a presidential hopeful challenging the Rwandan government. The lawyer, Peter Erlinder, is being held on charges of denying the Rwandan genocide. The Rwandan government has been accused of using laws barring genocide denial to silence opposition critics. Erlinder was reportedly hospitalized this week after hours of interrogation.
Mexican Immigrant Dies in US Custody
In San Diego, a Mexican immigrant has died after customs officers repeatedly struck him with batons and shocked him with a stun gun as they deported him to Mexico. The victim, Anastacio Hernández-Rojas, had been detained after crossing over from Mexico last week. Family members say Hernández-Rojas has lived in the United States since he was fourteen and is the father of five US-born children. Customs officials say officers struck and tasered him after he began resisting his deportation. Witnesses reported seeing the officers kick and beat Hernández-Rojas. The San Diego Police Department says it's investigating.
Youths Stage Hunger Strike to Urge Support for DREAM Act
Here in New York, a group of immigrant youths have begun a hunger strike outside the offices of Democratic Senator and Senate Immigration Subcommittee chair Charles Schumer in support of the DREAM Act, which would grant the children of undocumented immigrants a path to legal status. The students want Schumer to propose the DREAM Act as a standalone bill.
Jose Luis: "I've been in this country for twenty years. And in those twenty years, my hope has always been the same: become a better human being, become someone who is productive to our society. What do we want for this country? What do we want for our society if we're denying the education to these 65,000 students across the country? I ask Senator Schumer today, wouldn't you pass a legislation that would benefit your son, your daughter? Wouldn't you pass a legislation, wouldn't you promote a legislation that would make your country stronger?"
Earlier today, police began removing the youths from the street outside Schumer's office. Online messages posted by the New York State Youth Leadership Council say the hunger-strikers will refuse to abandon their protest.
Study: African Americans Face Widespread Jury Exclusion in US South
A new study says African Americans and other people of color continue to face discriminatory exclusion from jury service across the US South. The Equal Justice Initiative says a review of jury selections in eight Southern states found "hundreds people of color called for jury service have been illegally excluded." The discrimination was found to be particularly widespread "in serious criminal cases and capital cases." The study says it found evidence that some prosecutors have been trained to exclude people of color from juries and to evade anti-discrimination laws. Among the areas cited in the study are Houston County, Alabama, where eight out of ten African Americans jurors were removed from death penalty cases. In Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, there were virtually no African Americans jurors in 80 percent of criminal trials.
Supreme Court Limits Miranda Rights
The Supreme Court has issued a five-to-four ruling that criminal suspects must now affirm their intent to remain silent and request a lawyer in order to avoid having their statements used against them in court. In a dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote, "Suspects will be legally presumed to have waived their rights even if they have given no clear expression of their intent to do so."
New York Lawmakers Advance Labor Standards for Domestic Workers
New York is poised to become the first state establishing a landmark set of working standards for housekeepers, nannies and other domestic workers. State lawmakers have passed a measure that would require overtime pay after eight-hour workdays, at least one day off per week, and at least eighteen holidays, sick days and vacation days per year. Lawmakers will now attempt to reconcile the Senate and Assembly versions before sending a final bill to Governor David Paterson.

On the night of Oct. 20, 2014, Laquan McDonald, a 17-year-old African-American teenager in Chicago, was walking down the street when two police cruisers sped up to him. Officers jumped out, and at least one of them, Jason Van Dyke, began firing. Laquan fell to the ground, his final, painful moments caught on the dashboard video camera of a third police vehicle that had arrived just seconds before. Laquan spun as he was shot. Two bullets hit him in the back. As the video clearly shows, the bullets were pumped into him, evidenced by clouds of dust exploding off the pavement. This week, on the day the video was released to the public by court order, Officer Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder — 400 days after he killed Laquan McDonald.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- The University of Tennessee-Chattanooga is growing faster than it can keep up with.
According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, more than 12,000 students are expected to begin fall classes Monday -- up 12 percent from 2010.
Associate Vice-Chancellor Chuck Cantrell said the university is having some growing pains. Cantrell said that's especially true in lab courses like biology, chemistry and physics.
Dalton, Ga., dietetics major Emily Broadrick said many of the required core curriculum classes were full by the middle of summer.
Freshmen began moving into dorms on Thursday, but about 175 of them are bunking at the Chattanooga Choo Choo hotel for at least part of the semester because on-campus housing is very tight.
