Christian Bale has officially hung up his cape after ruling out speculation he will reprise his role as Batman for the upcoming "Justice League" superhero movie.
The Welsh star previously insisted he would only consider donning the Batsuit once more if director Christopher Nolan wanted to make a follow-up to last year's "The Dark Knight Rises," the third installment in their film trilogy, and as plans for the DC Comics superhero adventure take shape, the actor has made it clear he will not be involved.
He tells EW.com, "We were incredibly fortunate to get to make three (Batman films). That's enough. Let's not get greedy."
Instead, Bale is keen to see another star step into his shoes and tackle the Caped Crusader for a new generation of fans.
He says, "It's a torch that should be handed from one actor to another. So I enjoy looking forward to what somebody else will come up with."
Bale is the latest star to distance himself from the long-delayed "Justice League" film, which will bring together Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and The Flash in the same way box office blockbuster "The Avengers" saw the stars of the rival Marvel franchise unite to save the world.
Earlier this year, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who played an early version of the Caped Crusader's sidekick Robin in "The Dark Knight Rises," insisted he would not be taking over as Batman in the forthcoming project, while last summer, Ben Affleck denied reports he was in talks to direct the film.
The movie adaptation of the popular comic book series is slated to hit movie theaters in 2015.
Casting details have yet to be announced, although "Man of Steel" star Henry Cavill is expected to reprise his role as Superman for the film.

Most students did not have school Monday, but one school spends the day remembering those who served.
Instead of a day off, Winnebago High School students went to school Monday. The school has been celebrating Veteran's Day this way for six years.
Students spent the day honoring vets with music, a visit from Abe Lincoln and a flag ceremony.
Tony Capriola, a Marine Corp. vet, from the Korean War couldn't believe the kids were in school today. He says he was pleasantly surprised.
The principal of Winnebago High School says she felt that teaching students about the day was far more beneficial than giving them the day off school.

Universal Health plans in Fla. to be liquidated
Published: Saturday, March 23, 2013 at 8:07 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 23, 2013 at 8:07 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE — State health officials say nearly 60,000 Medicaid members will be transferred to new health plans as two Universal Health companies are about to be liquidated.
A Leon County Judge ordered Universal Health Care Insurance Company into receivership on Friday. That company and sister company Universal Health Care Inc. will go into liquidation in April.
Agency for Health Care Administration Secretary Liz Dudek says she is making every effort to ensure that patients will still be able to see their same primary care doctor under the new plans.
She said Medicaid recipients on Universal plans should receive a letter in the mail next week explaining the process and their options.
Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater said the companies also cover health polices for nearly 80,000 Florida Medicare recipients.

The Mafia (also known as Cosa Nostra), is a real-life criminal secret society which first developed in the mid-19th century in Sicily. An offshoot emerged on the East Coast of the United States during the late 19th century following waves of immigration. In America, the Mafia often refers to Italian American organized crime in general, rather than just Sicilian American organized crime. Each Mafia family is lead by a Don or Capo Crimine. In Liberty City, mafia influence is city wide.
Organized crime in Liberty City has traditionally been controlled by the Five Families (Gambetti, Pavano, Lupisella, Messina, and Ancelotti families) with the less influential Alderney Mob. Business interests range from all reaches of crime, murder, contract killing, bombings, extortion, loan sharking, racketeering, gambling, hijacking among many others. Within Liberty City are many people and activities linked to the Mafia. Over the years in Liberty City the mafia has come into conflict both internally amongst the families and with other criminal organizations throughout the city oftentimes resulting in war.
Mafia Families
- In GTA: San Andreas all gangs have 3 models of gang members but the Mafia have 4 instead of 3.
- In most games, the mafia families often appear as an antagonistic gang toward the protagonist, with the exception of Leone Family in GTA San Andreas and Liberty City Stories, and The Commission in Grand Theft Auto IV, which all of them were neutral gangs.
- Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories is the only game which the player works for the mafia in the entire storyline, the Leone Family.
- In GTA San Andreas one of the Mafia members would often comment about his appetite and gluttony.
- There is a glitch in GTA San Andreas, there is a way to gain more gang territory throughout the state of San Andreas. To exploit the glitch, fly a plane into the southwest or southeast corners of the map, and continue onwards in the respective direction; continue this for a long period (30 minutes is suggested), then either fly back (which will take a long time), or drown oneself after the 30-minute mark. After returning or awaking at a hospital, a glitch will have occurred, and there will be gang territories visible all over San Andreas. The Italian Mafia can now be encountered in Las Venturas, usually wielding Pistols and Desert Eagles, and driving a variety of European luxury cars.
- The Italian Mafia is easily the most powerful gang in Liberty City, even surpassing the heavily armed Russian Mafia, having the largest amount of members and being very well armed, but not as well the Russian Mafia though. They are much better with their weapons, being surgically precise at almost any range. They are also better at fighting and in combat.

Thinking outside the box a bit... Yes, this is crazy by all accounts and purely reactionary, but just what if....the B's shocked the world and traded for Ovechkin. I know his defensive skills are suspect and his contract sucks royally, but he's a threat offensively everywhere on the ice and can also bang. Is there a way this could work? If there was ever a forward that I would take and sacrafice some of the defensive liability, it would be him. Not sure how $ would exchange to make it fit.
Just for comparison. Ovechkin cap hit per year $9,538,462. Iginla is a $7,000,000 but expires this year.
Long term, I would do it if the Caps cushioned the cap hit blow. It would be like paying Ovechkin, Horton's $ plus a little more once he walks next year.
If the Caps did not cushion the blow, the Bruins also have the option of playing dirty by treating him like a rental at the prorated price, and then pull a Gomez exception on his azzz for next year and let him walk. Could they do this within the new CBA?
This would be the Bruins version of going All-In for this year.

In relation to Japanese investors selling our bonds, hopefully the upcoming sequestration in the US will force some pessimism back in to lower our dollar.
If the US has another downturn (even though it is for their own good) they will come out stronger in the long run and people will want their currency again.
All local traders doing it tough under high $ thank the good people of the world who are rewarded in their pension funds for choosing our AAA rated bonds.
This market has been boring me lately, to say the least but every now & again comes along a blockbuster that makes my day "...George Soros has made almost $US1 billion since November from bets that the yen would tumble". Now that's what I'm talking about, forget about little nibble here & there; just love this guy! Wish he was my mentor.
It's great weather for shorts. Not sure about the market though. While a down day is due, the very large daily trading volumes show the sheer weight of money is driving the market higher.
Get in now or miss out forever!
Completely agree. This is no dead cat bounce. The volumes indicate a shift. How long will it last? I don't know but a lot of money is moving off the sidelines chasing better returns. Not that I'm a shorter but if I were doing it, I'd only short those companies at risk of a bad report. There will be a time when I take money off the table but this is not it. Not yet.
"Speciality Fashion Group chief executive Gary Perlstein has labelled the decision by Prime Minister Julia Gillard to announce the timing of this year's election eight months out as an "absolute disaster" for retail.
Uh yeah... anyone in retail could have told her that. Gillard will only be remembered for stabbing Rudd in the back. The latest poll puts Rudd at twice the % as favoured leader. The God botherer Tony Burke is also looking more sheepish than ever.
interesting the betting odds on a Rudd comeback...(can't see that ever happening) wonder what the odds are that Shorten takes the ALP to the next election? any idea anyone?
Gillard/Rudd both $1.65. Coalition $5 - Labor is toast.
Given the poles, Shorten wouldn't want it. Too much of a poisoned chalise to lead the ALP at the next election as its starting to look like a whitewash.
Shorten would be as popular as Craig Thompson.
Other than a solid few, majority of ALP caucus has lost my confidence and need to be cleaned out.
If the election goes the way of the polls then it will occur through natural attrition.
This market is just the pits. a 3 month month mth no volitility.
I make it 65 trading days without a 1% down day. Could this be a record?
First short NAB $30.25.
Keep shorting Allan. I need you to drive this market higher when you have to cover. Just something to keep in mind. NAB has the highest yield of all the banks. If they decide to offload its UK assets, there is substantial upside to it's share price!
Nope, 10yr total shareholder return a paltry 6.4%.
Homeside lending debacle -$2.2 billion
Rogue trader devacle -$600 million
CDOs debacle -$1.2 billion
UK business debacle -$1.5 billion
CEO and senior execs have the hide to take multi million dollar salaries.
In the future people will look back at the late 20th century/early 21st century and wonder at how these corporate cowboys managed to gouge such huge sums from public companies.
Oh and thanks but Iwill be covering lower not higher.
Allan, NAB closed around $30.15 today. First time its breached $30 and broken through resistance. From a charting perspective, it's going higher. Same with the overall ASX200. It may meet resistance at 5100 but looks like consolidating above 5000. There's just sheer wall of money moving from fixed interest to equities. The volumes say it all. Not the best time to short banks. You should've shorted Boart instead.
Commsec has changed their chat room and the howls of complaints are everywhere. The new room is deserted as 100+ of the old chatters have moved on to https://www.tradingfloorchat.com
IT seems as bad move for a teck savy company Like CBA to upset its regulars. Has anoune in here heard any reports of commsec traders revolting and moving brokers??
"The clustering of workplaces in inner city areas will also mean more demand for well-located, inner-city housing.
Often, in such areas, it can be more affordable to rent rather than buy the same property. Home prices are pushed up because of location, location, location. And rents can lag behind. Often, the rent you pay on an inner-city pad is cheaper than the interest cost of servicing a mortgage on the same property.
Better to rent, and invest the difference in a term deposit or shares, which outperformed house prices last year. Indeed, with affordability so stretched, it's hard to see house prices taking off for some time."
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Have followed that sound strategy for the last few years.
Most professional jobs seem to be 2-3 years before you look elsewhere so why have that mortgage chain around you when you could move about.
Allan, you could also remind those government protected species, the littlelandlords and their bankster overlords, that there is this wonderful late nineteenth century invention denominated as the skyscraper; a most remarkable and productive device by which prodigious amounts of accomodation can be produced in a restricted area. Now we wouldn't want to block progress, would we?
That's right. There is no housing shortage. Floorspace can be createc out of thin air. Huge blocks of flats are popping up all over Melbourne. And guess what? They aren't worth $10-15K psm. You can buy a house with land for $4,000 psm in inner city Melbourne. And even that is over priced.
Hi Catch 22, since you and i where the only ones in the tipping comp last week i have decided to discontinue it. Thanks.
p.s. you beat me.
Pity. It was the first time I felt almost like a winner.

Kanye West has published a scathing rant aimed at Jimmy Kimmel after the show host and comedian spoofed the rapper on his late-night talk show.
The comedian recently poked fun at West's hour-long BBC Radio 1 interview by recreating it with a child actor playing the outspoken hip-hop star on his show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
However, West appears to have been offended by the sketch, and the new father took to his Twitter.com page on Thursday to criticize Kimmel.
In all capital letters, West tweeted, "Jimmy Kimmel is out of line to try and spoof in any way the first piece of honest media in years. Jimmy Kimmel, I don't take it as a joke… You don't have scum bags hopping over fences trying to take pictures of your daughter. Jimmy Kimmel, put yourself in my shoes… Oh no that means you would have gotten too much good (expletive) in your life. You can't put yourself in my shoes. Your face looks crazy… Is that funny? Or if I had a kid say it would it be funny???"
He then referenced Kimmel's comedienne ex-girlfriend, adding, "Sarah Silverman is a thousand times funnier than you and the whole world knows it!!!"
Kimmel took to the site to respond to West's messages, tweeting, "Apparently Kanye West is VERY VERY ANGRY with me…" before telling followers, "I'll tell you the whole story about Kanye West tonight on the show – this is not a prank, I promise (unless it's being played on me)."
West allegedly told Kimmel his life would be "much better" if he apologized.
"We just had the kids say the stuff Kanye said and apparently this upset him," Kimmel said. "Finally I'm in a rap feud!"

Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning brought the first flurries of the season for Eastern Carolina, along with some new records.
A November 12th snow dusted some communities, but as temperatures dipped low they did not get low enough for road issues.
While overnight temperatures Tuesday got to the lower or middle 30s, WITN Meteorologist Jim Howard said ground temperatures did not get cold enough to make any of the snow stick.
The National Weather Service in Newport says the early snowfall broke three records in the area. Snow Hill's previous record for the earliest trace of snow was November 14, 1905. Belhaven's old record was November 26th, 1950, while Williamston had a previous record of November 14th, 1963.
Records in some other cities remain in tact. Those include Greenville's of November 09, 1913, Kinston for November 11th, 1987 and Washington's one hundred-10 year record of November 06, 1903.
Department of Transportation crews said Tuesday they would be on standby in the event the winter weather impacted driving conditions. However, with a light rain forecasted, officials opted not to brine roads, saying it would likely just wash away.
Overnight flurries swept over Greenville, New Bern, and further south into Jacksonville.
Viewers reported seeing snow piling up on decks from Washington County while some found enough snow to craft a snowball in Morehead City.

That's a nice Cali buck! I have taken a few dandy's here in Cali as well. I'll try and post them on here. I hunt mostly Zone D-14 and just started hunting deer and elk out of state. I got the fever bad!!!
Here's my biggest archery buck which i killed last year... hoping to get a bigger one this year cant wait! Hopefully i have a wall like you guys in the next 10+ years...

Bohuntr...If you get any deer with longer mainbeams, you might have to trim your ceiling fan blades! NICE deer!!
I second 264Magnum's comment! That is my dream-wall. Very impressive...all public land and all archery...I'm still in aaaaaahhhhhh!! My "bachelor herd" is much smaller, but I can also say that mine is purely public land DIY (The Eastman Way).
Go afield with a good attitude, with respect for the wildlife you hunt and for the forest and fields in which you walk. Immerse yourself in the outdoor experience. It will cleanse your soul. -Fred Bear
Thanks guys.....but really, that wall represents many years of bowhunting in several states, coupled a lot of LUCK. Several of those were taken on the Kaibab during a time when the archery hunt was over-the-counter and was a premier hunt for DIY type guys like us. Nothing against those who primarily hunt with guides, but I prefer to do it on my own if possible.

Gambling, stag and hen parties, weddings, pure curiosity…whatever you're in Las Vegas for, there's plenty to spend your money on. And spend it you will, with a smile on your face.
However, you needn't be dropping dollars 24-7 and if you have gambled away your last dime, there's still plenty to see in Sin City that won't cost a red cent. Here are just a few of our favourite free spots:
Here come the jets
The Bellagio fountains are among the world's most wow-inducing water features, though that term doesn't exactly do them justice. The amount of science (and money) behind the display is quite astonishing, but you needn't understand how it's done to enjoy this dazzling dance of light and music.
Bellagio fountains - Time to say goodbye from Bram Van der Hallen on Vimeo.
Though the fountains go off every 30 minutes in the afternoon, the splendour isn't really revealed in full until after dark. A room at the hotel may afford you an aerial view, but you can still hardly miss the jets (they reach a height of 460 ft /140m) from the street. Our top tip though is to grab a drink at Hyde Bellagio for the full front-row experience.
Nature vs neon
If you do happen to pass by a little earlier, the Bellagio's other free attraction, the Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, is great for whiling away an hour-or so. The seasonal colours and vibrant natural beauty offer a great contrast to the night's neon, but the giant bugs, spades and trowels let you know you're still in Vegas. Kew Gardens this ain't.
Ring of fire
Less dangerous and a lot easier to pronounce than Eyjafjallajökull, the Volcano at The Mirage is still able to stop traffic, the pedestrian kind anyway. A Strip staple since 1989, the swanky hotel's big draw recently underwent a redesign by Bellagio fountain team WET, to the tune of $25 million. Bigger, better and louder, the choreographed fire dance now features music by Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart and tabla maestro Zakir Hussain, who actually studied the science of volcanoes as research for their composition. A true spectacle, it's perhaps the most awe-inspiring on the Strip.

City of lights
If somehow you haven't quite had your fix of lights on The Strip, the Fremont Street Experience downtown is the other big draw. Here where the city "began" – first hotel, first paved street - you can celebrate vintage Vegas in futuristic fashion, for free. The four block-long mall's "Viva Vision" canopy is the biggest big screen in the world with 12.5 million LEDs. Current audiovisual evening extravaganzas include tributes to Heart, The Who, Bon Jovi and The Doors. Just try to get a good leaning spot if you want to avoid a stiff neck; it's difficult looking at slots and blackjack tables when your head's stuck at a 70-degree upwards angle.
Floods and (more) fire
Vegas has made enough myths of its own over the years, but it also knows how to put a spin on the ancient tales. The Fall of Atlantis show at Caesars Palace Forum Shops is an every-hour-on-the-hour animatronic display telling the story of the destruction of the underwater metropolis.
If you crave still more ancient gods in animatronic action, the more sedate Festival Fountain show at the other end of the complex, has Bacchus, Venus, Apollo and Pluto in conversation.

We have been going every other year for 30 years and would not stay anywhere else but Fremont.
And, due no doubt to its vigorous and cheerfull, police presence, not once in all that time have we felt unsafe or threatened.
THE STRIP is for the occasional visit, FREMONT is for staying in.

Bill Buxton is a relentless advocate for innovation, design, and especially the appropriate consideration of human values, capacity, and culture in the conception, implementation, and use of new products and technologies. This is reflected in his research, teaching, talks, and writing—including his column on design and innovation for BusinessWeek.com, and his 2007 book, Sketching User Experiences.
In December 2005, he was appointed Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research. Prior to that, he was Principal of his own Toronto-based boutique design and consulting firm, Buxton Design.
Buxton began his career as a composer and performer, having done a Bachelor of Music degree at Queen's University. He then studied and taught for two years at the Institute of Sonology, Utrecht, Holland.
In 1975 Bill started designing his own digital musical instruments. This is what led him to the University of Toronto, where he completed an MSc in Computer Science, and subsequently jointed the faculty. It is also the path that brought him into the field of human-computer interaction, which is his technical area of specialty.
From 1987-89, Buxton was in Cambridge England, helping establish a new satellite of Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (EuroPARC). From 1989-94 he split his time between Toronto, where he was Scientific Director of the Ontario Telepresence Project, and Palo Alto, California, where he was a consulting researcher at Xerox PARC.
From 1994 until December 2002, he was Chief Scientist of Alias|Wavefront, (now part of Autodesk) and from 1995, its parent company SGI Inc. In the fall of 2004, he became a part-time instructor in the Department of Industrial Design at the Ontario College of Art and Design. In 2004/05 he was also Visiting Professor at the Knowledge Media Design Institute (KMDI) at the University of Toronto. He currently splits his time between Redmond and Toronto.
In 1995, Buxton became the third recipient of the Canadian Human-Computer Communications Society Award for contributions to research in computer graphics and human-computer interaction. In 2000 he was given the New Media Visionary of the Year Award at the Canadian New Media Awards. In 2001, The Hollywood Reporter named him one of the 10 most influential innovators in Hollywood. In 2002, Time Magazine named him one of the top 5 designers in Canada. Also in 2002, he was elected to the CHI Academy. In October, 2005, he and Gord Kurtenbach received the "Lasting Impact Award", from ACM UIST 2005, which was awarded for their 1991 paper, Issues in Combining Marking and Direct Manipulation Techniques. In June, 2007, he was named Doctor of Design, Honoris Causa by the Ontario College of Art and Design, in 2008 he became the 10th recipient of the ACM SIGCHI Lifetime Achievement Award, "for fundamental contributions to the field of Computer Human Interaction," and in January 2009 he was elected Fellow of the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM), for his contributions to the field of human-computer interaction.
From 1998-2004, Buxton was on the board of the Canadian Film Centre, and in 1998-99 chaired a panel to advise the premier of Ontario on developing long term policy to foster innovation, through the Ontario Jobs and Investment Board. He is on a number of academic advisory boards, the Department of Industrial Design of the Technical University in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Buxton is a member of the Association of Computing Machinery and the Industrial Designers Society of America.
Outside of work, Buxton loves the outdoors. He is especially passionate about mountains, including skiing, climbing, and touring, both in summer and winter. This interest extends to the written word. He has contributed to the literature on mountain history and exploration, is an avid bibliophile, and was one of the three jury members of the 2005 Banff Mountain Book Festival. In addition, he is an avid cyclist, and active in kayaking, SCUBA diving and windsurfing. He is an accomplished equestrian, and in 1996 was awarded the Veteran Rider of the Year award from the Ontario Horse Trials Association, and in 2000 was named to the Talent Squad of the National Eventing Team. Finally, he has a life-long fascination with both art and his wife, Elizabeth - who owns and operates a contemporary art gallery, Gallery 888, in Toronto, Canada.

The Library at Alexandria: Bibliotheca Alexandrina
I realize that I've referred before to the great Library at Alexandria, Egypt, but since it's one of my obsessions, I'm afraid you're going to hear about it again.
The original Library was founded by Ptolemy I, who inherited Egypt after the death of Alexander the Great, in around 300 BCE. It was part of the Museum, a center of scholarship and scientific research. Other large libraries in the ancient world had been personal libraries – but this one was "public," open to anyone with the credentials to get in. The Library had a huge budget (and in an age before copy machines, enough papyrus in the Nile Delta to make copies of manuscripts it acquired).
Many Library Firsts
The Library held about half a million rolls of papyrus. Among the accomplishments of the Librarians were the first library catalogue, the first list of anything in alphabetical order, the glossary, and the authoritative text edition.
Sadly, the Library was destroyed sometime towards the beginning of the last millennium – we don't know exactly how. It, or perhaps only its warehouse on the docks, burned down when Julius Caesar fought in Alexandria on the side of Cleopatra in 48 BCE. Or, the Christian Church, or perhaps a Christian mob, destroyed the pagan library in about 415 CE. Or, a Muslim Arab general may have ordered the books of the library burned as the writings of infidels,in the 7th century. Or maybe the books and library were the victims of neglect. Or all of the above.
I Am Indebted To:
Lionel Casson, Libraries in the Ancient World. 2001.
Fred Lerner, The Story of Libraries, from the Invention of Writing to the Computer Age. 1998. for historical information.
For a long time, no trace of the Library was found. Maritime archaeologists have been exploring the modern harbor, and it is possible that they have discovered some evidence of it.
Did You Know?
There's a new Library at Alexandria? It's called the Bibliotheca Alexandrina! It was built by Egypt with the support of the international community, and contains terrific architecture, a large collection of books and manuscripts from many countries, a conference center, museums, exhibitions, labs, and a planetarium. Want to go? These two websites are made for the armchair or about-to-be traveler:

Affalterbach – With the electric drivetrain system of the SLS AMG E-CELL, Mercedes-AMG GmbH is providing yet another glimpse of its latest development project. The drivetrain has been in development since 2010 as a result of the cooperation between Mercedes-AMG and Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains in Brixworth. Four synchronous electric motors located near the wheels, providing a peak output of 392 kW and torque of 880 Nm, help to provide the SLS AMG E-CELL with its exciting driving dynamics. The carbon-fibre transmission tunnel, which also serves as the monocoque housing for the high-voltage battery modules, is
structurally integrated into the aluminium body shell and firmly bonded to it. The lightweight fibre composite materials have their origins in the world of Formula 1, among other areas.
A small series-production run of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-CELL is expected to be launched onto the market in 2013. The powerful and locally emission-free super sports car with electric drive is yet another example of the innovative strength and development competence of the AMG performance brand.
The ground-breaking drive system of the technology vehicle boasts some outstanding features: powerful traction is provided by four synchronous electric motors with a combined peak output of
392 kW
and a maximum torque of 880 Nm. The four compact electric motors each achieve a maximum rotational speed of 12,000 rpm and are positioned close to the wheels. As a result, compared with wheel-hub motors, the unsprung masses are substantially reduced. One transmission per axle transmits the power.
Acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in 4 seconds
When it comes to dynamics, the electrically-powered SLS makes a statement: the gullwing model accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 4 seconds – which almost puts it on the same high level as the SLS AMG with 6.3-litre V8 engine developing
420 kW
(571 hp), which can accelerate to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds.
Further exciting touches are provided courtesy of the agile accelerator response and the straight-line performance: unlike a combustion engine, torque build-up in an electric motor is instantaneous – maximum torque is available virtually from a standstill. The spontaneous torque build-up and confident power delivery - which does not suffer from any interruption of tractive power - are combined with engine running characteristics which are totally free of vibration.
The key data at a glance:

All-wheel drive with torque vectoring enables completely new levels of freedom
Four wheels, four motors – the intelligent and permanent all-wheel drive of the electric SLS guarantees driving dynamics at the highest level, while at the same time providing the best possible active safety. Optimum traction is therefore ensured, whatever the weather conditions. According to the AMG developers, "torque vectoring" involves the individual control of the electric motors, something which enables completely new levels of freedom to be achieved. Torque vectoring is permanently active and allows for selective distribution of forces for each individual wheel. The intelligent distribution of drive torque greatly benefits driving dynamics, handling, driving safety and ride comfort. Each individual wheel can be electrically driven and electrically braked, depending on the driving conditions, thus helping to
optimise the vehicle's cornering properties,
reduce the tendency to oversteer/understeer,
increase the yaw damping of the basic vehicle,
reduce the steering effort and steering angle required,
increase traction,
and minimise ESP® intervention.
Torque vectoring enables optimum use of the adhesion potential between the tyres and the road surface in all driving conditions, thereby extending the critical limits of the vehicle's driving dynamics.
Advanced technology from Formula 1: high-voltage lithium-ion battery
The SLS AMG E-CELL incorporates a liquid-cooled high-voltage lithium-ion battery featuring a modular design with an energy content of 48 kWh. Its development has made use of advanced technology from the world of Formula 1: the battery is the first result of the co-operation between Mercedes-AMG GmbH in Affalterbach and Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains (formerly Mercedes-Benz High Performance Engines). Headquartered in Brixworth, England, the company has been working closely with AMG for a number of years. F1 engine experts have benefited from its extensive expertise with the KERS hybrid concept, which made its debut in the 2009 Formula 1 season. At the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2009, Lewis Hamilton achieved the first historic victory for a Formula 1 vehicle featuring KERS hybrid technology in the form of the Mercedes-Benz KER System.
The high-voltage battery consists of 12 modules each comprising 72 lithium-ion polymer cells. This optimised arrangement of a total of 864 cells has benefits not only in terms of best use of the installation space, but also in terms of performance. The maximum electric load potential of the high-voltage battery is 480 kW, which is an absolute best value in the automotive sector. Another technical feature of this considerable performance is the intelligent parallel circuit of the individual battery modules – this also helps to maximise the safety, reliability and service life of the battery. As in Formula 1, the 400-volt battery is charged by means of targeted recuperation during braking whilst the car is being driven.
High-performance control as well as effective cooling of all components
A high-performance electronic control system converts the direct current from the high-voltage battery into three-phase alternating current which is required for the synchronous motors and regulates the energy flow for all operating conditions. Two low-temperature cooling circuits ensure that the four electric motors and the power electronics are maintained at an even operating temperature. A separate low-temperature circuit is responsible for cooling the high-voltage lithium-ion battery. In low external temperatures, the battery is quickly brought up to operating temperature with the aid of an electric heating element. This helps to preserve the overall service life of the battery. In extremely high external temperatures, the cooling circuit for the battery can be additionally boosted with the aid of the air conditioning system.
"AMG Lightweight Performance" design strategy
The trailblazing body shell structure of the SLS AMG E-CELL is part of the ambitious "AMG Lightweight Performance" design strategy. The battery is located within a carbon-fibre monocoque which forms an integral part of the body shell and acts as the gullwing model's "spine". The fibre composite materials have their roots in the world of Formula 1, among other areas. The advantages of carbon-fibre were exploited by the AMG engineers in the design of the monocoque. These include their high strength, which makes it possible to create extremely rigid structures in terms of torsion and bending, excellent crash performance and low weight. CFRP components are up to 50 percent lighter than comparable steel ones, yet retain the same level of stability. Compared with aluminium, the weight saving is still around 30 percent, while the material is considerably thinner. The weight advantages achieved through the carbon-fibre battery monocoque are reflected in the agility of the SLS AMG E-CELL and, in conjunction with the highly innovative wheel-selective four-wheel drive system, ensure true driving enjoyment.
The carbon-fibre battery monocoque is, in addition, conceived as a "zero intrusion cell" in order to meet the very highest expectations in terms of crash safety. It protects the battery modules inside the vehicle from deformation or damage in the event of a crash.
The basis for CFRP construction is provided by fine carbon fibres, ten times thinner than a human hair. A length of this innovative fibre reaching from here to the moon would weigh a mere 25 grams. Between 1000 and 24,000 of these fibres are used to form individual strands. Machines then weave and sew them into fibre mats several layers thick, which can be moulded into three-dimensional shapes. When injected with liquid synthetic resin, this hardens to give the desired structure its final shape and stability.
Through their experience with the SLR, the AMG
Black Series
vehicles and in motorsport, Mercedes-Benz and AMG have accumulated more than 10 years of expertise in working with carbon-fibre materials. AMG currently makes the propshaft for the SLS AMG, for example, in carbon-fibre. On the SLS Roadster, the supporting structure for the draught-stop is made as standard as a carbon sandwich structure. This component, with extremely short cycle times in an industrially oriented manufacturing process, already demonstrates what will be possible in the future.
Optimum weight distribution and low centre of gravity
The purely electric drive system was factored into the equation as early as the concept phase when the gullwing model was being developed. It is ideally packaged for the integration of the high-performance, zero-emission technology: by way of example, the four electric motors and the two transmissions can be positioned as close to the four wheels as possible and very low down in the vehicle. The same applies to the modular high-voltage battery. Advantages of this solution include the vehicle's low centre of gravity and balanced weight distribution – ideal conditions for optimum handling, which the electrically-powered gullwing model shares with its petrol-driven sister model.
New front axle design with pushrod damper struts
The additional front-wheel drive called for a newly designed front axle: unlike the series production vehicle with AMG V8 engine, which has a double wishbone axle, the SLS AMG E-CELL features an independent multi-link suspension with pushrod damper struts. This is because the vertically-arranged damper struts in the series SLS had to make way for the additional drive shafts. As is usual in a wide variety of racing vehicles, horizontal damper struts are now used, which are operated via separate push rods and transfer levers.
Thanks to this sophisticated front-axle design, which has already been tried and tested in the world of motorsport, the agility and driving dynamics of the SLS AMG E-CELL attain the same high levels as the V8 variant. Another distinguishing feature is the speed-sensitive power steering with rack-and-pinion steering gear: the power assistance is implemented electrohydraulically rather than just hydraulically.
AMG ceramic composite brakes for perfect deceleration
The technology vehicle is slowed with the aid of AMG high-performance ceramic composite brakes, which boast extremely short stopping distances, a precise actuation point and outstanding fade resistance, even in extreme operating conditions. The over-sized discs – measuring 402 x 39 mm at the front and 360 x 32 mm at the rear – are made of carbon fibre-strengthened ceramic, feature an integral design all round and are connected to an aluminium bowl in a radially floating arrangement.
The ceramic brake discs are 40 percent lighter in weight than the conventional, grey cast iron brake discs. The reduction in unsprung masses not only improves handling dynamics and agility, but also ride comfort and tyre grip. The lower rotating masses at the front axle also ensure a more direct steering response – which is particularly noticeable when taking motorway bends at high speed. The ABS and ESP® systems have been adapted to match the special application spectrum of the permanent all-wheel drive.

I'm mostly an imager and from home I typically do narrowband because of the light pollution so I don't need to be in the dome. Plus the best spot for the observatory is near the front of our backyard and the HOA would have a fit about it rising over the fence line being that close to the front of the house.
So I've decided to make a VERY small dome. Essentially the bare minimum required to fit my equipment and give me a tiny bit of room to grow (very tiny). The diameter of the dome will be 5 feet (1.5 meters). And the entire structure will be around 6 feet (1.8 meters)tall. This keeps it just under the fence line and out of the HOA's control :-) The diameter of 5 feet was chosen for a couple of reasons. First, I'm planning on using a gore type construction with 1/8" masonite for the dome. At 5' I can build the entire dome from 2 pieces of masonite. I also plan on fiberglassing the exterior and possibly the interior of the dome as well. This will give it added strength as well as weather proof it. Second, at the smaller diameter I should be able to lift the dome off if needed by myself or with the help of one person. Since it will be unlikely that I'll be able to get into the dome (at least not comfortably) I'll need a way to do periodic maintenance and access the equipment.
I initially considered building a roll off roof as I could lay the scope on it's side and make the entire setup even smaller. But where I'm at is fairly windy so the added wind protection of a dome is a nice plus. And I like building things like this so the challenge of building the dome was a big part of the decision as well...one which I may regret later!
I'm also planning on automating the dome (eventually). Initially the azimuth will be automated but I'll likely forgo automating the shutter until a later time. I plan on building all the control hardware as well and writing an ASCOM driver for the dome controller. I believe there is already an Open Source Dome Controller out there so I may check that out as well.
Attached is an initial drawing that I have done with a G11 inside of the mount for reference. Everything is to scale to give you an idea how small the dome is.
Hopefully I'll get some pictures of the actual dome construction up fairly soon. I'm headed to the lumber store to pickup materials to start on the dome here shortly.

As you navigate the Web, youll notice that Tivoli engages in the blogosphere in a variety of ways, for example, group blogs and individual blogs. I want to provide a little perspective on the differences here.
Group blogs
This is the official Tivoli blog, where the Tivoli Web and Communications team and guest bloggers, share news, statements, and perspectives from the IBM Tivoli organization. However, this blog also serves as a multi-directional channel for listening to our public stakeholders, exploring new ideas, collaborating on solutions, and sharing links or resources between community members. Often, we will discuss various perspectives or pose specific questions for public feedback. And, we encourage the extended sharing of questions, answers, links and resources in our IBM Tivoli community.
The IBM Service Management blog is similar to the Tivoli blog in nature; however, it focuses on the discipline of Service Management as a field of practice with its own trends, scenarios, standards and regulations. It also looks beyond Tivoli to other IBM offerings, IBM Business Partners, and analyst reports. Like Tivoli, we encourage the extended sharing of questions, answers, links and resources in our IBM Service Management community.
The Pulse community blog centers on the Pulse conference and those who have attended or are planning on attending the conference. It provides insight and gathers feedback on conference plans and activities and serves as an extension of conversations taking place at and around the conference. We also host the Pulse community for extended social networking and sharing of questions, resources, feedback, conversations, and stories.
Individual blogs
For in-depth topics and discussions, we rely on our subject matter experts (SMEs) who have their own individual blogs with their own individual purposes of engaging the public. A few of these experts include:
Doug McClure, a Senior Managing Consultant for IBM Tivoli Lab Services, specializes in Business and IT Service Management. His blog provides thoughts around business, service and technology operations and management with special emphasis on Business Service Management (BSM) and how practitioners can be successful implementing a BSM strategy within their company.
Calvin Powers works in the IBM Tivoli Technology Office on IT governance related projects. He blogs on topics related to IT governance, risk management, and compliance and is especially interested in how to apply these concepts to IT service management.
Tony Pearson, author of Inside System Storage, is a senior storage consultant for IBM System Storage. His blog serves as an open exchange of ideas relating to storage and storage networking hardware, software and services.
I, Tiffany Winman, specialize in Tivoli communities, social media, and Web 2.0. My blog focuses on heroes, voices, and stories that make the Tivoli network such a great community.
Blogs elsewhere
In addition to our own SMEs, several IBM Business Partners, outside of IBM auspices, blog about Tivoli or Service Management topics. For example:
We usually highlight new blogs or bloggers on our IBM Tivoli community landing. If you have an idea for a specific blog topic or a great blog to share with the Tivoli community and readership, please let us know.

Pennsylvania police chief: F**k all you libtards out there, you take it in the a**
By Eric W. Dolan
Tuesday, July 23, 2013 23:45 EDT
The mayor of Gilberton, Pennsylvania is standing by her citys police chief despite a series of profanity-laced and threatening videos.
In a video that has received wide attention, police chief Mark Kessler repeatedly tells those upset by his use of profanity to go f*ck yourself as he fires various automatic weapons.

Filthy Luker's debut installation at the RWA depicts a giant plughole and plug. With typically striking sculptural forms, the site-specific artist has responded humorously to the physical qualities and aesthetic challenges of the recently cleared backyard.
His new piece carries further poignancy at the Royal West of England Academy of Art by passing comment on the socio-political and financial dilemma faced by the arts and the education system in the UK today. His footnote – "R.I.P. ART" – scrawled onto an apparent tombstone (found on site during the installation) drums home this darker meaning.
About the artist: Filthy Luker has been creating inflatables for more than 17 years. The shapes are designed on a computer using 3D design technology. Digitally unwrapping the forms, the patterns are printed onto large format paper, then hand cut and sewn using various grades of coated nylon. The cloth objects are then inflated using a constantly-powered fan.
PLEASE NOTE: Ironically, due to flooding the pathway leading around the sculpture has been restricted to viewing at one end only.

Hurricane Sandy is still on track to make landfall late Monday night into early Tuesday morning around the New Jersey/Long Island area as a post-tropical cyclone. I CAN NOT stress enough that even though she will be making landfall well to our south she is a powerful storm and will impact areas far away from the center. That includes us right here in Maine!
For us our biggest concerns will be strong winds, heavy rain, and coastal flooding. Yes...power outages are likely from this storm. If you have not started to plan ahead for power outages please do so. Winds will start to increase early Monday morning. Strongest winds are expected along the coast Monday afternoon until Tuesday morning. Winds will be out of the east 25-35mph with gusts up to 60mph possible. The National Weather Service has issued a high wind watch for the places you see scrolling at the top of your screen. This starts Monday afternoon and expires 8AM Tuesday.
We will start to see some showers and developing rain moving in from the south as early as late Sunday. The rain will pick up in intensity and be heavy at times late Monday into Tuesday. As of now rainfall amounts range from 1-3". My biggest areas for inland flooding concerns are for the foothills and the mountains in western Maine. We could have some localized heavier amounts of rain in those locations. The rain should start to taper late Tuesday back to showers, but the showers will remain in the forecast right through the rest of the week.
Now on to the potential of coastal flooding. Just to make things even more interesting with this storm we have a full moon Monday night. That means that the tides will be running astronomically high from Sunday to Wednesday. On Monday wave heights out in the open water could reach 20' or more. For us at the coast will will be watching out for the high tides Monday and Tuesday night. A storm surge of 1-3' is possible leading to coastal flooding and splash over.
The worst of this storm for us should be over by Tuesday afternoon, but I expect there to be quit a bit of clean up from this storm. The low will meander north through Friday and keep our weather unsettled through the state of the weekend. We will of course keep you updated with Sandy as the latest information comes into the weather office. You can also see updates on my Facebook and Twitter feeds. (@klabrecque)

Amerigel products provide superior management for a variety of wounds and problem skin conditions - such as diabetic and venous ulcers, pressure sores, cuts and abrasions, irritating rashes, sports wounds, dry and cracked skin. The key ingredient that has made products like Amerigel Wound Wash and Amerigel Gauze so effective, is a unique extract from the oak tree that is very useful at promoting skin healing naturally without side effects. This oak extract, called Oakin, is rich in tannins which promote the healing of wounds. Oak has been used for centuries to treat minor wounds and now Amerigel has formulated superior products based on this traditional medicine.
Amerigel has received high ratings from many podiatrists who have seen successful results in their patients. Amerigel offers versatile skin healing aids that are absolutely safe for everyone, including patients with diabetes. Amerigel products can even be used after surgery for faster healing of incisions.
Are you in search of a natural product for minor skin wounds? Reach for Amerigel. Each Amerigel product contains an exclusive ingredient called Oakin, a natural oak extract that harnesses the potency of tannins. Tannins are compounds that protect and heal the skin, thanks to their antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Using oat extract as a curative is not a fad. For centuries, it has been prized as a topical treatment for addressing a variety of skin inflammations including burns, dermatitis, eczema, hemorrhoids, psoriasis, and varicose veins. Modern science has proven oak extract's efficacy as a natural antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and astringent agent.
If you suffer from a skin condition or wound, Amerigel may speed the healing. Amerigel can help to hydrate dry, patchy skin, and at the same time, relieve the itch. Amerigel may help to maintain moisture levels and reduce the chances of further issues. Contact dermatitis is a common skin allergy. Amerigel is used to address the redness, swelling and tenderness associated with this condition. For diaper rash, Amerigel will shield the skin from excess irritating moisture and help to prevent infection. Amerigel may also help soothe and heal skin that has been burned by radiation. Even surface wounds such as abrasions and cuts can benefit from Amerigel. The tannins found in Oakin may help to kill the bacteria and microorganisms that can lead to infection. Amerigel helps to accelerate healing and may minimize scarring, too.
Be sure to ask your doctor if Amerigel is right for you and seek medical attention if you have a wound that doesn't heal or becomes red or hot to the touch.

Woodworking For Kids – Fun and Educational
I got my start in woodworking when I was about 5 years old. My father and grandfather would give me a block of wood and sandpaper and set me off to the side so I was out of their way while they were working on bigger projects in the wood shop. Once I managed to sand down a block of wood to the size of a tooth pick, I graduated to a hammer and nails, and eventually hand saws and hand drills. It wasn't until I was in my early teens that I was allowed to use bigger power tools like the table saw, router table, and band saw. Throughout those years I made several little projects, each time seeking the advice from my father and grandfather as I honed my skills.
As a child, I never realized the importance of what I was accomplishing with the leadership from my father and grandfather. At that time, I thought my projects were the best thing since sliced bread and I would proudly show my accomplishments to the entire family. You can't do that with a video game!
Looking back now, the time spent with my father and grandfather not only taught me valuable life-long woodworking techniques and skills, which have come quite handy throughout my adult life, they also taught me the importance of family and the important roles parents and grandparents play in the life of a child. I wasn't simply building little project's, I was learning how to communicate by asking questions and describing problems. I learned patience, quality, planning, organization and eventually independence.
In today's technological world it is hard for parents and grandparents to compete with video games, TV, and toys that simply entertain. This is why I am excited that Eagle America is proudly offering wooden toy kits that can be built and painted by young apprentice woodworkers with the help of a parent or grandparent. These exciting designs can help parents and grandparents teach their children and grandchildren the experience and art of woodworking from start to finish.

Sun spots and dark patches of pigment on the skin are all examples of hyperpigmentation, a condition characterized by too much melanin, the pigment that gives skin and hair its color. Hyperpigmentation is most commonly caused by overexposure to the sun, but it can also come from other types of skin injury. An example is dark spots left in areas where acne bumps once were. The trauma of picking at or popping those bumps can trigger melanin production. Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy and from using the birth control pill can also lead to areas of dark pigmentation. Unfortunately, darkly pigmented spots aren't easy to hide even with the right cosmetics. The good news? You don't have to live with these discolorations. There are a variety of treatments available that can safely lighten them.
One of the most widely used treatments for increased pigmentation and sun spots is hydroquinone. This compound works by blocking an enzyme necessary for the synthesis of melanin. It works best when combined with glycolic acid, a weak acid that sloughs off dead skin cells, including cells containing excess pigment. Hydroquinone is available at concentrations of up to 2% in skin treatment products without a prescription, often in combination with glycolic acid.
For people who experience irritation with hydroquinone, there are other alternatives. Kojic acid, a compound produced by a fungus lightens pigmented areas by blocking an enzyme needed for melanin synthesis. It is found in some skin lightening products, sometimes in combination with glycolic acid. Another alternative available without a prescription is azelaic acid, a skin lightening compound found in wheat, rye and barley that's also used to treat acne. Ascorbic acid, which is essentially vitamin C, also has skin-lightening benefits when used over time.

There are a few different kinds of keyboards. The most common is a physical, external keyboard that you plug in to your PC.
Windows also has the On-Screen Keyboard (OSK), an Ease of Access tool. Use the OSK instead of a physical keyboard to move around your PC and enter text. You don't need a touch screen to use the OSK. The OSK displays a visual keyboard with all the standard keys. Select keys using the mouse or another pointing device, or use a physical single key or group of keys to cycle through the keys on the screen.
A PC with a touch screen also has a touch keyboard. When using a Windows PC with a touch screen, tap in a text field or in another area where you can type and the touch keyboard will appear. For more information about the touch keyboard, see How to use the touch keyboard.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, then tap Search.(If you're using a mouse, point to the bottom-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, then click Search.)
Enter On-Screen Keyboard in the search box, then tap or click On-Screen Keyboard.
A keyboard appears on the screen that can be used to move around your PC and enter text. The keyboard will remain on the screen until you close it.
With the OSK open, tap or click the OSK Options key, then select the options you want:
Use click sound. Use this option if you want to hear a sound when you press a key.
Show keys to make it easier to move around the screen. Use this option if you want the keys to light up as you type.
Turn on numeric keypad. Use this option to expand the OSK to show a numeric keypad.
Click on keys. Use this mode if you prefer to click or tap the on-screen keys to enter text.
Hover over keys. Use this mode if you use a mouse or joystick to point to a key. The characters you point to are entered automatically when you point to them for a specified time.
Scan through keys. Use this mode if you want the OSK to continually scan the keyboard. Scan mode highlights areas where you can type keyboard characters by pressing a keyboard shortcut, using a switch input device or using a device that simulates a mouse click.
Use Text Prediction. Use this option if you want the OSK to suggest words for you as you type so you don't need to type each complete word.
Text Prediction is available in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish. If you want to use one of these languages and it isn't installed, install the language files for that language.
If you're using either hovering mode or scanning mode and accidentally minimise the OSK, you can restore it by pointing to it in the taskbar (for hovering mode) or by pressing the scan key (for scanning mode).
If you minimise the OSK and switch to the Start screen or a full-screen app, you won't be able to get to the OSK. Open the OSK first, then go to the Start screen or app.
