ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., March 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T has invested nearly $225 million in its best-in-class wireless and wired networks in New Mexico between 2010 through 2013, driving a wide range of upgrades to enhance speed, reliability, coverage and performance for residents and business customers.
Advancing its Project Velocity IP (VIP), an investment plan to expand and enhance its wireless and wired IP broadband networks, AT&T in 2013 made 285 network upgrades in New Mexico, including new cell sites, addition of wireless network capacity, and new broadband network connections.
"New Mexico residents depend on our fast and reliable Internet connections more and more every day, whether it's instant access to files and apps at work, watching a video at home, or even receiving updates from connected cars or home monitors," said Jerry Fuentes, president of AT&T Arizona and New Mexico. "AT&T is making robust investments locally to make sure that residents can take full advantage of the latest services and tools, and that businesses have the speed they need to compete and grow."
Notable New Mexico network enhancements in 2013 included launching AT&T's 4G LTE network in Farmington, Gallup and Las Cruces, as well as expanding 4G LTE coverage in the Albuquerque area.
"Continued investment in fast and reliable Internet networks is critical for both quality of life and economic growth in New Mexico," said Debra Inman, vice president, Albuquerque Economic Development. "Enhanced wireless connectivity is an important benefit for residents."
AT&T provides the nation's most reliable 4G LTE network today, covering more than 280 million Americans with 4G LTE service. 4G LTE deployment is ahead of schedule; AT&T plans to be substantially complete with deployment by the summer of 2014.
AT&T operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network** including more than 32,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots at popular restaurants, hotels, bookstores and retailers, and provides access to more than 529,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to its entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly wireless data plans.

Indeed, the new record is slightly better than the eponymous album.
On first listen, though, I noticed a lack of immediately catchy songs like "A-Punk," "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" and a handful of others from the first record. Only "Cousins," the obvious choice for lead single on Contra, fits this mold.
Is catchiness and immediacy everything? It shouldn't be.
Contra build's on the band's reputation with the same intelligent lyrics, diversity of influences and willingness to experiment.
The album's strongest trait may be its ability to surprise. For two minutes, "Taxi Cab" is built on synths, drums, strings and pianos. Just as the song reaches the two minute mark, you are hit with a flourish of harpsichord. It's not as if the instrument doesn't belong, it just seems to come from nowhere.
After about 30 seconds, it disappears as quickly as it came.
But harpsichord isn't the only unique texture we find on this album. "Run" features some very nice work from a horn section. Singer Ezra Koenig's voice is extremely distorted by Auto-Tune for "California English." My personal favorite is the African thumb piano used on "Horchata," the opener.
The African influence on songs like "Horchata" have been noted on both albums and drawn allusions -- both positive and negative -- to Paul Simon's Graceland. While I can see this, to go too far in the comparisons to Simon's record is to sell Vampire Weekend short. The fact that African influences aren't drawn upon too often in Western pop music doesn't automatically establish a relationship between two albums that do.
And if this foursome did draw on Simon as an influence? Good for them! They've taken it in a different direction.
I have to admit; even after two albums I'm still wrapping my head around this band. They may be visionaries or this may be a passing fad. It's a fine line you walk when you bend convention.
Overall, though, I'm enjoying this record. The test will be this: am I still listening to it two months, six months, two years from now? I can't tell yet.
Special note should be made of the frenetic "Cousins," which the band was wise to make the first single off the album. It bears a strong resemblence to the debut album, and yet steps forward as well, featuring some of the best guitar work the band has done thus far. This is an especially interesting development, considering many of the songs on the album abandon guitar all together.
Other tracks of note include "Horchata," "Holiday," "Run," "Giving Up the Gun" and "Diplomat's Son."

Henri Matisse, 'The Horse, the Rider, and the Clown', 1943-4.
Exhibition includes around 120 works made between 1943 and 1954.
The most comprehensive exhibition ever devoted to Henri Matisse's paper cut-outs is set to go on show at London's Tate Modern this spring.
"Henri Matisse: the Cut-Outs" will feature around 120 of the artist's works made between 1943 and 1954, many of which will be seen together for the first time.
One of the leading figures of modern art and one of the most significant colourists of all time, Matisse began to cut into painted paper with scissors to make maquettes when ill health prevented him from painting towards the end of his career. The painted sheets of paper are infused with the luminosity of stained glass.
Major cut-outs in the exhibition include Tate's The Snail (1953), its sister work Memory of Oceania (1953) from MoMA, New York, and Large Composition with Masks (1953) from the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC. The show will also include the largest number of Matisse's Blue Nudes ever exhibited.
The exhibition re-examines the cut-outs in terms of the methods and materials that Matisse used, and their double lives, first as contingent and mutable in the studio and ultimately as permanent works through mounting and framing.
"Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs" will run from April 17 to Sept 7 at the Tate Modern before touring the Museum of Modern Art, New York, from Oct 14 to Feb 9, 2015. – AFP Relaxnews

La Petite French School, a French immersion preschool, plans to open on the Upper East Side in the fall.
The "working area" at La Petite French School creates a fun, interactive environment for children to play and learn.
La Petite French School, a French immersion preschool program plans to open on the Upper East Side in September. The unique curriculum integrates all disciplines into its instruction and immersion in the French language, from math and science to pre-reading and art. Half-day classes will be held Monday through Thursday, and may be extended to Fridays. Call to schedule an appointment to visit the classroom and meet with founder and teacher Valerie Vasques.
Vasques maintains small class sizes—two to four students—to ensure that all children receive adequate attention and instruction. She encourages students to complete projects independently and begin to develop a sense of self, and believes learning should be ludique, or playful. "[Kids] need to become happy to come to school and to learn things," Vasques says.
By beginning language instruction at an early age, children develop greater fluency and a love of learning. "Your mind is shaped a bit differently when you learn a second language," Vasques says. "You learn more quickly and become more reactive."
Vasques is a certified teacher through the French Board of Education, Education Nationale, and has experience teaching all subjects in French. "I combine everything," she says. "For example, I'm going to work on Goldie Locks and The Three Bears. From that story we will work on everything, mathematics [numbers and sizes]. We will work on cycles, how to draw a bear, and of course on the reading and the writing. Everything is combined."
Courtney Brodie is a freelance writer for NYMetroParents. She is a graduate of Hobart and William Smith Colleges.

Crimson Creek Golf ClubRead MoreDesigned by esteemed fairway artist P.B. Dye, Crimson Creek Golf Club's 18-hole course summons golfers with 6,992 yards of well-groomed greenery. Constantly primped by a cavalry of lawnmowers and displaced hairstylists, the course sports a high-quality grass to help putts smoothly hold their line. A segment of the scenic course runs in a wide horseshoe pattern around the north end of Lake El Reno, which—along with a series of ponds that come into play throughout the round—compensates for the layout's scarce population of trees by gobbling up errant shots. Before taking to the first tee, golfers can take a few practice cuts at the club's driving range, check out the pro shop to load up on balls, or visit the Hook-N-Slice Restaurant for a bite to eat or a fork to use as a makeshift divot tool.801 Babcock Dr.El Reno, OK US

Christmas Eve
Category: Cultural Commentary Written by Janet Denison
Instead of the typical Cultural Commentary, we would like to share her Christmas devotionals to help prepare you to celebrate the birth of our King, who became one of us so that we might be one with him. Our ministry wishes you a blessed Christmas season, filled with his joy and peace.
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God – children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. -John 1:12-13
God could have entered the world as a King but he came as a baby. God could have stepped into the world as the most brilliant of scholars, but he came as a newborn needing to grow and learn. God could have shown himself to the world as a giant, strong enough to pluck trees from the dirt or stop a flood with his hand. Jesus chose to come as a tiny infant needing protection.
Jesus wasn't born of natural descent, or because of human decision, he was born of God. Jesus entered this world as a living example of how the human race will enter the Kingdom of heaven. Christmas is the perfect example of what it means to be born of God.
We aren't born into God's kingdom because of our status, our brilliance or our strength. We are born into God's kingdom because we receive the baby in the manger and believe in his name. Our faith in Christ gives us the right to become children of God. We enter heaven the way Jesus entered this world – born of God.
We look forward to Christmas because it celebrates Christ's birth. God celebrates with the angels every time someone becomes his child – newly born into his Kingdom. Christmas, in that sense, can be something we look forward to all year long.
Today would be a good day to pray for those in your family or your circle of influence who have never become children of God. Someone once said, "Christmas began in the heart of God. It is complete only when it reaches the heart of man." Maybe this year someone you love will look forward to Christmas 2014 in a new way because they have entered God's Kingdom as Jesus entered the world – a newly born child of God.

This invention relates generally to systems and methods for reducing vehicle-collision injuries and damage and concerns more specifically such systems and methods that are particularly suitable for use with large vehicles, such as truck trailers, for preventing smaller vehicle from under-riding them.
Deployable interior airbags have been effective for protecting passengers inside vehicles and have, therefore, become mandatory equipment for vehicles. As an extension of this, it has been suggested to place deployable airbags on exteriors of vehicles for absorbing impact energy of colliding vehicles and thereby reducing damage to the vehicles. For example, each of U.S. Pat. No. 4,441,751 to Wesley; U.S. Pat. No. 5,725,265 to Baber; and U.S. Pat. No. 6,106,038 to Dreher describes a system for reducing collision damage by deploying an airbag on an exterior of a vehicle. The airbag system of Baber is mentioned as being particularly suitable for use with trucks and truck trailers. This system involves placing an airbag on a truck, which is depicted in FIG. 7. The airbag is inflated when a possible collision is perceived, by radar for example. This patent mentions that the invention described therein particularly helps a vehicle colliding with the principal truck on which the airbag is mounted, since an airbag inflates to cushion the colliding vehicle. The patent mentions both side and rear collisions and mentions that this system reduces liability claims for trucks.
Although the system described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,725,265 and the other prior-art patents mentioned above have advantages, they also present some difficulties. One such difficulty involves sensing that a collision is about to take place with enough certainty and lead time that an airbag has time to deploy in time to do some good. Several of the above-described prior-art patents suggest using radar or sonar (see U.S. Pat. 6,106,038 to Dreher and U.S. Pat. No. 5,725,265 to Baber), presumably to sense that a collision is imminent and trigger deployment of the airbag in time to provide a useful cushion. However, as can be imagined, such non-con tact and imprecise sensing can be risky, sometimes triggering an expensive, unnecessary and dangerous airbag deployment.
Thus, it is an object of this invention to provide an airbag system, method and vehicle with such an airbag system, that provides a precise, reliable sensing of an imminent collision, while at the same time providing sufficient lead time for allowing an airbag enough time to inflate and cushion the impact of the colliding vehicle.
Large vehicles, such as truck cabs and trailers, pose a particular problem for motorists of smaller vehicles because the smaller vehicles, such as normal-size cars, can under-ride the larger vehicles. Such under-ride collisions are particularly dangerous for the occupants of the smaller vehicles because they can be thereby, decapitated, even though they may be wearing seat belts and are not driving at high speeds. To prevent such under-riding, some trucks have installed under-ride guards, or bumpers, mounted at their sides and back. These under-ride guards can have various shapes and forms, but quite often are simply rigid vertical and horizontal bars extending downwardly from the bottoms of truck trailers. Again, such under-ride guards can be at sides and backs of truck trailers. Although under-ride guards tend to reduce under-ride injuries, they are often not sufficiently strong to prevent under-ride during high-speed collisions. Another problem is that the under-ride guards themselves cause damage to smaller cars, because they, by their nature, are formed as rigid protrusions. Therefore, it is an object of this invention to provide an under-ride protection system that has added strength while also cushioning the impact of a collision.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,907,353 to Dinitz suggests using adjustable bumpers on vehicles having elevated bodies, with the adjustable bumpers including energy absorbers, or dissipaters. A disadvantage of such a system is that the adjustable bumper is unduly complicated and the dissipaters make it unduly bulky. Further, in order to make the bumper adjustable, one must make compromises between strength and functionality. It is therefore an object of this invention to provide an under-ride protection system that is not unduly complicated, bulky, non-functional or weak.
According to principles of this invention, an external vehicle airbag system for being mounted on a road-traveling principal vehicle includes an airbag to be inflated for absorbing the energy of a colliding vehicle and preventing the colliding vehicle from under-riding the principle vehicle. In this regard, the vehicle airbag system includes an airbag mount for mounting the airbag at a bottom side of the principal vehicle, substantially laterally inwardly spaced from a lateral-side periphery of the principal vehicle. The airbag system further includes a sensor for being mounted on the principal vehicle at a position more laterally outward, in the direction of the lateral-side periphery, than is the airbag. The sensor senses an imminent impact of the principal vehicle with the colliding vehicle and, in response thereto, inflates the airbag. Thus, as the colliding vehicle impacts the principle vehicle laterally, the airbag inflates below the principal vehicle, along the bottom thereof toward the lateral periphery, to thereby counter and absorb energy from the colliding vehicle to prevent its under-riding. In one embodiment, the sensor is positioned about at the lateral-side periphery and includes a rigid under-ride guard.
Further benefits, characteristics and details of the invention are explained in more detail below using an embodiment shown in the drawings. The described and drawn features can be used individually or in preferred combinations in other embodiments of the invention. The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of the preferred embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which reference characters refer to the same parts throughout the different views. The drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating principles of the invention in a clear manner.
FIG. 1 is an isometric, cutaway, view of a truck trailer having rear and left-side airbag systems of this invention mounted thereon;
FIG. 2 is a side, cutaway, view of the structure of FIG. 1, but only showing the rear airbag system;
FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2, but with an airbag of the rear airbag system being deployed by inflation; and
FIG. 4 is a rear view of a truck trailer with a right-side airbag system, with an airbag of the right-side airbag system being deployed by inflation.
A truck trailer or principal vehicle, 10 has mounted thereon two external vehicle airbag systems of this invention, namely, a rear airbag system 12 and a left-side airbag system 14. Each of the airbag systems includes an airbag 16, an airbag mount 18, and a sensor 20. For ease of description, the rear airbag system 12 will be described in detail, but it should be understood that the left-side airbag system 14 has essentially the same structure. Similarly, although only rear and left-side airbag systems are shown in FIG. 1, it should be understood that other airbag systems, facing in other relative directions, could be used with the truck trailer 10. In fact, FIG. 4 depicts deployment of an airbag from a right-side airbag system.
Describing now the rear airbag system 12 in more detail, the airbag mount 18 mounts the un-inflated airbag 16 to a frame 22 at a bottom 24 the truck trailer 10 so that the un-inflated airbag 16 is inwardly spaced a substantial distance "d" from a rear side 26 of the truck trailer 10. The bottom 24 faces a roadway on which the truck trailer 10 is traveling. In this regard, the truck trailer 10 has an outer, lateral-side periphery 27 formed of the rear side 26, a left side 28, a right side 29, and a front side (not shown). It should be understood, that the distance "d" is measured from that portion of the outer, lateral-side periphery of the truck toward which the airbag will expand when deployed, or inflated, in this case the rear side 26. Thus, if we were discussing the left-side airbag system 14, this distance "ad" would be measured from the left side 28. The distance "d" is at least 6 inches and preferably at least 1 foot. But in the depicted embodiment, it is around 1.5 feet and it could be as much as 4 feet. This distance is determined by an amount of space available below the bottom 24, a size of an inflated airbag, a speed at which the airbag inflates, and other related considerations, as will be further discussed below.
Looking now at the sensor 20 in more detail, in the depicted embodiment, this sensor is formed of a strain gauge 30 mounted on an under-ride guard 32 which is rigidly mounted on the frame 22 of bottom 24 of the truck trailer 10. When a colliding vehicle 34 taps the under-ride guard 32 sufficiently to strain, or bend, the under-ride guard 32, this is sensed by the strain gauge 30.
Describing now operation of the rear airbag system 12 of this invention, when a colliding vehicle 34 engages the under-ride guard 32, it strains it. The strain gauge 30 senses when the under-ride guard 32 has been strained a predetermined amount, it sends a signal to the airbag 16 of the rear airbag system 12, and the airbag responds thereto by inflating in the manner of vehicle airbags described in the prior-art patents mentioned above. As can be seen in FIG. 3, the rear airbag 16 expands, or inflates, in the direction of the rear side 26 and comes into contact with the under-ride guard 32, and thereby resiliently supports the under-ride guard 32 from further bending. Almost at the same time the inflating airbag also engages the colliding vehicle, under, around and through the under-ride guard, thereby providing a cushion for absorbing the impact of the colliding vehicle 34 and also preventing the colliding vehicle 34 from under-riding the truck trailer.
In the depicted embodiment, the under-ride guard 32 is relatively strong, thereby providing its own protection against the colliding vehicle under-riding the bottom 24 of the truck trailer 10. However, in another embodiment this member is rather weak, serving substantially only as a sensor for triggering deployment of the airbag 16. At the other extreme, it could be as strong as normal under-ride guards that do not have the under-ride airbag systems of this invention. Further, it would be possible to use a sensor that does not even contact the colliding vehicle 34, such as a light sensor that recognizes that the colliding vehicle has crossed a vertical plane sufficiently close to the rear side 26 that one can be certain that a collision is about to take place (such as a colliding vehicle protruding below a structural member forming the rear side 26). In this case there need not be an under-ride guard at all. But there are advantages to the sensor being activated by actual physical contact of the colliding vehicle, which signals that a collision is in progress.
An advantage of the vehicle airbag system of this invention is that it provides a reliable sensing of an imminent, or in-progress, collision, while at the same time providing a sufficient lead time to the airbag for allowing the airbag to inflate and cushion the impact of the vehicles, while also preventing a substantial under-ride of the colliding vehicle. The sensing is reliable in this system because a colliding vehicle is only sensed when it is so near, or at, a lateral-side periphery of the principal vehicle that a collision is assured. The sufficient lead time comes about because of the distance "d" between the lateral-side periphery and the airbag.
Another benefit of this invention is that it provides an under-ride protection system that has added strength and which significantly cushions the impacts of collisions of smaller vehicles with larger vehicles. This benefit further protects the riders of the smaller vehicles when they collide with trucks.
Similarly, this invention reduces liability costs for truck operators because it reduces damage and injury costs stemming from collisions of trucks with small vehicles.
Yet another advantage of this invention is that the undeployed airbag is substantially out of the way, since it is mounted below the principal vehicle, at the bottom thereof. That is, it does not protrude from or near the lateral-side periphery of the principal vehicle.
Although this invention has been described with reference to particular embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various modifications are possible within the scope of this invention. For example, the airbag can be mounted in various ways, so long as it is below the principal vehicle and inset from the lateral-side periphery thereof.
Further, the sensor could have various forms. However, it is important that the sensor only be activated when it is virtually certain that a colliding vehicle will collide with the principal vehicle, such as by touching a sensor element mounted on the principal vehicle. A possible alternative would be establishing a specific vertical sensor plane near the lateral-side periphery, with a signal being triggered when it is broken.
It should be noted that the airbag system of this invention provides under-ride protection that is not unduly complicated, bulky or weak.

This Games Night we will be exploring our feelings about death. We'll explore and share our thoughts and feelings about our own mortality as well as the mortality of loved ones and people around us. We have some creative and fun games to explore this somber, possibly scary, topic.
Have you been brutally honest with yourself about how you feel about death? Is there a vail of immortality between you and death? If you are honest with yourself... what do you feel? How do you experience death when someone you know dies? How do you want people to experience your own death? Or rather, the life you lived after you're gone?
Whit and Jason will be leading an exploration of these questions and feelings. We hope to see you there!
Games Night is an opportunity to grow and explore yourself, others, and authentic communication and connection. We provide a safe container with guided "games" that exercise different ways of interacting with a goal of giving you the opportunity to push your edge into places you usually dare not go. In these places you may discover it's okay to share how you really feel, it's okay to share where your attention really is, and it's okay to share other spicy edgy yet somehow satisfying and connecting truths of your reality. All this is done in the spirit of building deeper more authentic connections and relationships.
Doors Open at 7:15. Evening starts at 7:30 (sharp!) and doors are closed at about 7:45 (or whenever we begin the Agreements).
Reminder: The requested contribution is $10-15. This contribution will be requested upon entry to the studio. Please talk to us in advance if the cost to attend is prohibitive – no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Don't forget that Games Night is FREE for first-timers during March and April, so invite some friends, or if you haven't yet checked us out and are on this list, this is a great time to do so!
If anyone wishes to attend the Griefwalker screening Whit mentioned below (http://orphanwisdom.com/event/griefwalker-public-screening-talk/), I'd be happy to pitch in some $ for a carpool. Just msg. me individually. (I'm near NE 64th & Fremont, but can meet w/in a few miles of here.) As part of my background is in counseling/coaching, I promise to provide interesting conversation. :) Thanks again for the last games night; it was pretty powerful for me.

I'm so excited to be back in Portland and exploring this much needed topic. One of my realizations in India was the fact that our culture very much "attempts" to prepare us for life, but not so much the death process. Death is something that affects us continually, not just in our last breathe, but aging, letting go, transforming. Thank you Whit and Jason for helping us explore this. See you soon!

Was hoping for an April 29th. Is the first-night-free gone forever?
