MORGANTOWN - After struggling in a big way offensively in the second half of their first five Big East games - where they combined to score fewer than 20 points - the West Virginia Mountaineers have opened it up the last two weeks.
The result? Two 21-point second halves, two victories, and a share of the Big East title, their fourth since 2004.
Contrary to popular belief, the coaching staff didn't suddenly wake up and realize you have to score after halftime.
They've been well aware of what's taken place, but risky plays were one-part not necessary, one-part a trust issue.
By the time the Backyard Brawl rolled around last week, they felt they'd seen enough maturation in sophomore quarterback Geno Smith and young wideouts like Tavon Austin to take a few more chances.
And, as offensive coordinator Jeff Mullen likes to say, they rolled the dice and hit sevens.
''This is the third quarterback in the third year in this offense,'' West Virginia coach Bill Stewart said. ''I wish they could all play every game like this, but they can't. That being said, the sky is the limit. We're going to get better and better and better.''
On Saturday, everyone was all in.
''We just kept coming and coming and throwing,'' Stewart said. ''I said, 'I'm not playing this game close to the vest, I'm not playing this game not to lose. I'm playing this game to win.' You'd have seen it, if they'd have onside kicked, I was going to throw the ball at the end.''
In his first three seasons at West Virginia, Stewart has rarely, if ever, talked like that.
''I wanted all I could get (Saturday),'' he said. ''I wanted these seniors going out happy. With all do respect to (Rutgers coach Greg Schiano) as well. Greg didn't onside kick, I ran the clock out.''
How intense was it?
Smith had already thrown for 306 yards midway through the fourth quarter when he hit Brad Starks on a 46-yard bomb on a third-and-19 call.
''The call to Starks I made,'' Stewart said. ''I thought they were going to hang me. I said I want it thrown, and I want it thrown now. I'm not asking. I want the ball thrown to No. 2. And we did. Sometimes head coaches will take precedent.''
That set up Ryan Clarke's third rushing touchdown and put the Mountaineers up 35-7.
There was more evidence of WVU keeping the pedal to the metal earlier in the third quarter when, gasp, Mullen called a designed pass to tight end Will Johnson. It went for 37 yards on third-and-6, though it amounted to nothing as Smith fumbled the ball away while trying to get into the end zone, one of three red zone turnovers for the Mountaineers.
''That shocked all of you, I know,'' Stewart said of a pass to a tight end.
Smith loved it. He threw for a career-best 352 yards, as he completed 23 of 28 passes, adding to his league-best passing efficiency lead. It was his second 300-yard passing game this season, the first WVU quarterback to do that in a season since Marc Bulger in 1999.
''Our passing game was on target,'' he said. ''We continued to do it and did a good job of executing. All praise goes to the offensive line, because they protected me pretty well.''
Throwing the ball with a big lead, praise for a maligned offensive line? No desire to put the game away with 22 consecutive running plays? What's going on here?
''Our football team has gotten absolutely better,'' Stewart said. ''We were 1-2 in the Big East at one time. We've come back. And now we're Big East champs. I'm very, very pleased.''
After a long-awaited offensive output like that, so might the fans be.

Top 10 movies not to watch with Dad
As Father's Day approaches, many are hatching plans to spend time with and honor the first man in their lives.
If a night at the theater or home on the couch with Netflix is your ideal father-child bonding situation, consider that some movies may be awkward to see with Dad. Before you dive into a movie marathon, take heed.
Here's a list of movies to possibly avoid June 16.
1. "The Fault in Our Stars" (2014)
Synopsis: Hazel and Gus are two teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional, and a love that sweeps them on a journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous given that Hazel's other constant companion is an oxygen tank, Gus jokes about his prosthetic leg, and they met and fell in love at a cancer support group.
Why not to watch with dad: This movie is currently dominating the box office, but a major consensus is that it's tear-inducing. And who wants to see their dad cry?
2. "Brian's Song" (1971)
Synopsis: Based on the real-life relationship between teammates Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers and the bond established when Piccolo discovers that he is dying.
Why not to watch with dad: Again, no one wants to see their dad cry.
3. "Titanic" (1997)
Synopsis: A 17-year-old aristocrat, expecting to be married to a rich claimant by her mother, falls in love with a kind but poor artist aboard the luxurious, ill-fated R.M.S. Titanic.
Why not to watch with dad: Seemingly innocuous (what could beat a solid history/romance flick?) and rated PG-13, there remains an uncomfortably long scene in which Rose (Kate Winslet) reclines on the couch fully nude while she is painted by Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio at his teen-heartthrob best). This requires at least a strategically planned snack break. When they enter Rose's drawing room, volunteer to make popcorn.
4. "Blow" (2001)
Synopsis: The story of George Jung, the man who established the American cocaine market in the 1970s.
Why not to watch with dad: Touchy subject matter. Laughing at drug jokes in front of parental units is not encouraged.
5. "Basic Instinct" (1992)
Synopsis: A police detective is in charge of the investigation of a brutal murder, in which a beautiful and seductive woman could be involved.
Why not to watch with dad: The interrogation scene. Borderline pornographic sex scenes. The knowledge that he's probably already seen and enjoyed it.
6. "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (2011)
Synopsis: Journalist Mikael Blomkvist is aided in his search for a woman who has been missing for forty years by Lisbeth Salander, a young computer hacker.
Why not to watch with dad: Incest, torture, revenge rape.
7. "Trainspotting" (1996)
Synopsis: Renton, deeply immersed in the Edinburgh drug scene, tries to clean up and get out, despite the allure of the drugs and influence of friends.
Why not to watch with dad: Explaining why you still have a crush on Ewan McGregor after watching this. Also drugs.
8. "Hard Candy" (2005)
Synopsis: A teenage girl raids a man's home, suspecting he is a pedophile, in order to expose him.
Why not to watch with dad: Implied castration. Interrogation. Hanging. Ellen Page of "Juno" at her manipulative best.
9. "Black Swan" (2010)
Synopsis: A ballet dancer wins the lead in "Swan Lake" and is perfect for the role of the delicate White Swan - Princess Odette - but slowly loses her mind as she becomes more and more like Odile, the Black Swan.
Why not to watch with dad:
Girl-on-girl action, sex used as a means of control and a disturbing mother/daughter relationship. Nightmares.
10. "Requiem for a Dream" (2000)
Synopsis: The drug-induced utopias of four Coney Island people are shattered when their addictions become stronger.
Why not to watch with dad: Monster fridge, prostitution, butt-to-butt scene, graphic drug use.

The first low carb chips I made were made of jicama with the recipe found here. This is actually a video from Kent Altena demonstrating how he makes jicama chips. I love these. I think they are awesome. Unfortunately, my local grocery stores rarely have jicama, so I've had to choose another alternative. According to my family, these are awesome. They may not be crisp like a traditional potato chip, but they are very tasty and easy to make. I slice mine fairly thick in comparison to how you might slice a potato for making chips. This gives the end product more substance and preserves some of the natural crunch of the rutabaga.
Low Carb Seasoned Rutabaga Chips or Fries
2 Rutabagas, peeled and sliced (or jicama)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Salt to taste
Heat oil to 375 degrees. Also, preheat oven to 200 degrees. Mix paprika, chili powder, and cumin. Set aside.
Fry rutabaga in 4 batches (or more if you have a small fryer) for about 5 minutes each. Stir after a few minutes to make sure the chips brown evenly.After removing each batch from the oil, sprinkle with salt and part of the seasoning mixture while rutabagas are still hot. Place on a baking sheet and keep in the oven to stay warm while you finish remaining batches. You should use all of the seasoning mix by the time you are finished.
These are good with any type of ranch or french onion dip. I served mine with avocado dip found here and low carb Latin burger here. Together it makes an incredible meal that will leave you feel no sense of deprivation whatsoever.
NET carbs: 4 per half cup of rutabaga

Young city official volunteers to keep pool open
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Thanks to Jared Bloxton, they are keeping their heads above water at the city swimming pool in Ravenswood.
Bloxton, 21, was running the facility when Ravenswood -- and most other places in West Virginia -- was hit by a severe windstorm on June 29. He worked 14 long hours to clean up the debris so they could reopen the pool.
But as of July 1, he was forced to quit the job he's done successfully during summers for the past couple of years.
On that day, the youthful pool manager was installed on Ravenswood City Council -- and there's a city ordinance that prohibits elected Ravenswood officials from holding paid positions in city government.
"I had done my homework in that transition period between the May election and taking office," explained Ravenswood Mayor Michael Ihle, not exactly a grizzled political veteran at 25. "When I took my oath of office, I felt the ordinance was unconstitutional. But I asked our city attorney, when I came into the office July 2 and he said, 'You probably are right, but until it's ruled upon, it's the law.'"
Ihle knew they might have been in trouble, and knew he couldn't legally pay Bloxton or carry the liability of allowing him to work, so, unhappily, he had to let him go.
The catch? Bloxton was the only certified pool operator on staff at the city facility. The health department won't allow the pool to operate without a certified operator to handle the chemical treatment of the water. So the civic-minded councilman has been volunteering to handle the duties until another employee is certified.
"We're getting our feet wet in this together," Bloxton said of his relationship with Ihle.
This isn't the first time Bloxton has stepped up to help his community. The rising senior sports administration major at the University of Charleston and his brother, Heath, approached radio station WMOV-AM about doing a sports show once a week. While he didn't play sports in high school (he was vice president of the student body), he always loved supporting the Ravenswood Red Devils.
"My brother Heath and I were together one night, back in May 2008," he recalled. "We wondered if the local radio station would let us do a show, and they said yes!" Later, the general manager asked them to announce the Red Devils football games. Heath, 24, who works for the city's police department, has been doing play-by-play and Jared's been the color man ever since. In their fifth football season, they now do the basketball games as well.
"We're really big into sports, so it's really fun for us," Bloxton said.
"All I ever want to stress to people is to give young people a chance," Bloxton said. He is proud to be a role model for the younger lifeguards at the pool and in the city as a councilman. He served as president of the parks and recreation commission and was instrumental in organizing a successful Memorial Day celebration this year.
Bloxton's parents, Dan and Tina, were not surprised when their son ran for City Council or when he landed the pool manager job at 19.
"I was always the type that wanted to help -- with my brother's show choir and stuff in high school, with fundraisers -- even when I was in middle school. I've always been this way," he said.
Between school, volunteering at the pool, serving on City Council, and gearing up for the upcoming football season, Bloxton is working as a personal-property deputy field assessor for Jackson County.
But he's proud of the work he did running the swimming pool for the city.
"It's hard to even break even with a city pool, with the cost of chemicals. The first year, the mayor told me, we either made a very small profit or broke even."

A method that worked for me in terms of updating without having to go thru any twists was simply to update the clamav packages from the volatile database as is indicated to be the best idea on the Clamav website.
Then I went over to the /opt/clamav/bin and /opt/clamav/sbin directories, moved the old executables (renamed), and simply made links to the updated clamav binaries (clamd, clamdscan, freshclam, clamscan).
I then stopped and restarted zimbra, and lo and behold, I believe with no other changes zimbra is now using version .88 of ClamAV.
I'd love to hear if people see any issues with this? I felt this way I can now rely upon the Debian updates and with just links hook in new versions. Freshclam and clamd both seem to be operating fine.
I guess I could have also just copied in the executables under /opt/zimbra, but then I'd lose the nice feature if I update clamav again on my system from debian packages.
Perhaps I am just lucky that doing this doesn't break anything since the configs all stayed the same. But I certainly saw no errors.
Any thoughts?

For the year, Park Sterling reported net income of $4.3 million compared with a loss of $8.4 million for 2011.

Jay W. Marks, MD, is a board-certified internist and gastroenterologist. He graduated from Yale University School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine and gastroenterology at UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
GENERIC NAME: hydrochlorothiazide
BRAND NAMES: Hydrodiuril (discontinued), Ezide (discontinued), Hydro-Par (discontinued), Microzide, and many combinations with other drugs
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (water pill) used for treating high blood pressure (hypertension) and accumulation of fluid (edema). It works by blocking salt and fluid reabsorption from the urine in the kidneys, causing increased urine output (diuresis). Its mechanism of action in lowering high blood pressure is not well understood. The FDA approved hydrochlorothiazide in February 1959.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Tablets: 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 mg; Capsules: 12.5 mg
STORAGE: Hydrochlorothiazide should be stored at room temperature, 15 C to 30 C (59 F to 86 F), in a tight, light-resistant container.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Hydrochlorothiazide is used to treat excessive fluid accumulation and swelling (edema) of the body caused by heart failure, cirrhosis, chronic kidney failure, corticosteroid medications, and nephrotic syndrome. It also is used alone or in conjunction with other blood pressure lowering medications to treat high blood pressure. Although hydrochlorothiazide is approved for treating edema in cirrhosis of the liver, it is rarely used because of the availability of other diuretics that are more effective. Hydrochlorothiazide can be used to treat calcium-containing kidney stones because it decreases the amount of calcium excreted by the kidneys in the urine and thus decreases the amount of calcium in urine to form stones.
Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit the FDA MedWatch website or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Special Appeal From Paul Watson
"The US President must take swift and decisive action against Japan's illegal whaling.
Under the Pelly Amendment and the Packwood-Magnuson Amendment, the President has the power to apply economic sanctions against Japan for its continued whale slaughter in the Antarctic Whale Sanctuary. The United States asserts that it resolutely opposes whale hunting by Japan, but does little to actually bring a halt to the practice.
The U.S. State Dept. has declared: "We remain resolute in our opposition to commercial whaling, including so-called 'scientific' whaling, in particular in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary established by the International Whaling Commission. In this context we wish to emphasize that lethal techniques are not required in modern whale conservation and management."

1927 Touring Body Gets Work- Filling FineWritten by on April 1, 2009 Bodyman In A Can For Beginners
While we here at R&C, as well as other magazines, love to bring you features on cars in bare metal, it's a fact that few of us can afford to have a car metal-finished prior to paint, and that most of our projects will get some mud slung at them before the primer goes on. All well and good if you're paying a bodyshop or calling in a favor, but what if you want to tackle the task yourself? While it's getting more and more difficult to apply automotive paint at home, the prep work is still achievable, even if it is a long, dusty, and dirty job.
Take this '27 touring body for instance. Everything up to the point of laying on the topcoat was tackled in a residential garage with a small 1hp compressor, which just about handled the DA sander and the spray gun when it came time for primer.
Since we're on the subject of primer, while today's primers are capable of being filled over without shrinkage around the repair showing through the final topcoat, this body had old primer on it that had been handled with greasy hands innumerable times, and it was deemed sensible to sand back to bare metal prior to filling any areas that required it. Plus, the filler will only stick to the body as well as the primer or paint beneath it, and if you're going to put all this work into a body, it makes sense to give the filler the best foundation possible. OK, let's get down 'n' dirty...
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
If you're going to tackle any filler work you'll need the right tools for the job. Here we have three flexible sanding blocks, the longer two of which have three removable rods running their length which can be removed to make the blocks more flexible for sanding curved areas, as we'll see. The longboard sander at the bottom of the picture is an old rigid version. At top center is a DA (dual action) orbital sander. Electric versions of these are available and may work for the hobbyist.You'll also need sanding paper of various grits for the sanders. The longboard paper is 80-grit, and can be cut down for the various length sanding blocks, while the adhesive-backed round paper is for the DA sander and we used 40-, 80-, and 220-grit (not shown). These are also available in a Velcro-type backing, depending on your preference and what pad you have on your DA. The adhesive-backed discs can also be wrapped around the small sanding block. It always pays to use quality sanding paper, as it'll last much longer than the cheaper versions.Equip yourself with a number of good-quality breathing masks too, as you really don't want to be inhaling filler dust.While we'll not get involved in panel-beating here, this is a good example of a high spot that revealed itself when the old primer on this '27 touring body was sanded down (arrow). This needs to be addressed before any filler work can progress. You can fill a dent but there's no hiding a high spot with filler!In contrast to the high spot in the previous picture, here we have low spots as indicated by the areas of primer. These will need the primer removed before they can be filled, as the filler will only bond as well as the old primer beneath it.Sanding the area between the doors with 40-grit paper on the DA revealed waves in the panel as well as lead along the lower section. This whole area was cleaned of primer and will be filled. Often bodymen will cover the entire body with filler in order to get it completely smooth, but the owner of this '27 only wanted the minimum of repairs done, as he was keen for it to retain its steel appearance and not smoothed until it resembled a 'glass body.These shallow dents (arrows) were obvious on the rear door prior to sanding, but are even more visible now. A light skim of filler is all they require, not being deep enough to warrant panel-beating, unless a metal-finished body is what you're after.While it's possible to use cardboard as a mixing board for filler, it's not ideal as it will soak up the resin from the filler. These plastic mixing boards are available from your local jobber and are inexpensive. Just be sure to clean the board with acetone between applications, before the filler on it cures, and it will stay clean.
Mix in the activator slowly to prevent air bubbles from forming during the mixing process. You'll be able to tell when it's mixed as it'll take on a uniform color. It's still streaky here as it's not fully mixed.Both metal and plastic spreaders are available, and it really depends on your preference. Different sizes are used for different applications. Once the filler is mixed, load the spreader with enough for the section you're working on and pull it toward you, covering the dent but not leaving an excessive amount on the panel. You'll only waste it and give yourself more work when sanding it off!Small dents like this can generally be filled with one spread. If a dent is so large that it requires two spreads, you may want to think about panel-beating it to shape first.It will come with experience, but try to only mix enough filler for the job in hand. Depending on the temperature and the amount of activator used, it will "go off" relatively quickly, and will not only be a waste of material, but will make cleanup harder once it's cured. You'll have very little time between it starting to cure and becoming hard as shown.Here's that door again after being roughly sanded to shape using the DA sander with 40-grit. The filler on the door still needs taking down further, but owing to those 40-grit swirl scratches, enough filler was left in order to take it down again with 80-grit on a block, eliminating the scratches. Some bodymen prefer to start with 80-grit. It comes down to preference and how you were taught, but however it's done, progressively using finer grit paper is the way to go.That door again, about to be sanded with 80-grit on a block. You might be able to see the swirl scratches left by the 40-grit on the DA sander.It's not just dents and waves that need filler, as many hot rod bodies will have heavy rust pitting. This '27 was media blasted at some point prior to primer, so the rust has been eliminated, leaving these craters in the sheetmetal on the cowl.
A large area on top of the cowl was pitted, so the whole section received a skim of filler. With practice you'll be able to "pull" an even spread as shown. Whether you use metal or plastic spreaders, they can be bent to match the curvature of the panel.Again using the DA sander to rough shape the filler, it can be seen that the pitting has been filled with the metallic filler. This stuff dries rock hard and can be hard to sand if not tackled shortly after it's cured.It may look daunting having to apply this much filler, but it's easier than trying to tackle many small areas, and it'll only end up as a thin skim coat once it's sanded.You can see from the sanding scratches (arrow) that the block isn't used in a back and forward motion, but rather at a 45-degree angle and following the curvature of the panel.Moving to the rear wheelwell area, sometimes a bodyline will have to be formed in the filler, and here a good tip is to either use masking tape and sand to the edge of the tape, or spray a light guide coat from a rattle can onto the filler and use that as a guide. This area needs more work but you can see how the contrast between the guide-coated and sanded areas provides a reference for the required line.Oftentimes you'll spot very small dents that you missed the first time around. These are easier to fill all at once, but remembering where they are means you'll invariably miss a couple. Stick a small piece of masking tape over each one then remove them as you fill the dents and that dilemma's solved.With all repairs completed in 80-grit, or even finer, they should then be gone over with 180- or 220-grit to smooth them even further, then the DA can be used with 220-grit to feather the edges of all repairs prior to priming. This is especially important if you're going to prime over the edge of old paint, as deep scratches may come back later to haunt you as shrinkage marks.

smart for-us: The Rule-Breaker
smart is turning the automotive world upside down once again and challenging ideas about what an urban pickup should look like. In a tongue-in-cheek manner the for-us signals that this is the right car for the young and young-at-heart with active lives who attach importance to low emissions and taking up minimum road space. The smart for-us translates the practical loading concept of a pickup to the reality of 21st century urban traffic for the first time.
With its exterior dimensions (length/width/height: 3547/1506/1701 mm) it could almost go unnoticed on the loading area of a typical pickup, and it is also anything but ordinary under the body. Thanks to the state-of-the-art electric drive with a 55 kW magneto-electric motor the zero-emission smart for-us is agile and lively to drive.
smart CEO Dr. Annette Winkler says "We at smart love pick-ups – if they are small on the outside, large on the inside, very safe and extremely comfortable. With the smart for-us a petrol station is no longer required!"
Like car2go, the globally successful car sharing initiative from smart for more flexibility in city traffic, the smart for-us is a mobility concept. Just like the smart fortwo, which has enjoyed success around the world, it has ample room for two people, but it also has space behind for two smart ebikes, which can charge their batteries on the cargo area during the journey. From a trip into town to an outing to nearby nature reserve – the smart for-us safely transports two people and two electric bikes without producing any emissions. The ebikes on the cargo area become range extenders in two respects: thanks to the docking station on the cargo area of the smart for-us their batteries are always charged, and smart for-us drivers can also reach destinations that are out of bounds for cars – for example traffic-calmed zones in the city or isolated park trails.
The exterior: sassy and robust with extremely short overhangs
Even the first glance at the study shows that this smart can do more – yet it remains true to itself. It has a surprising, sassy and robust appearance – but thanks to the visible tridion safety cell and a number of other features it is typically smart. Furthermore, both the interior and the exterior feature a number of charming details which show that the smart designers devoted themselves to the project with the
joie de vivre
typical of the brand.
Compared with the series-produced fortwo the smart for-us makes a powerful statement and its appearance plays with the martial image of conventional mega-pickups. Nevertheless, it greets the viewer with a friendly yet assertive face. It features convex and sensuously shaped body surfaces. The large brand emblem is proudly sported on the grille, and the front has a pronounced three-dimensional design with an underride guard finishing off the lower part of the front end.
The for-us is raised by 50 millimetres as against the standard smart, and demonstrates that it is perfectly suited to off-road driving, for example to reach mountain bike terrain. In a later development stage the electric drive could be extended in the direction of a 4x4 with two front wheel hub motors.
The longer wheelbase (2480 mm/plus 613 mm) and the track that has been widened by 50 mm on each side also emphasise the robust look of the study. At the same time the extremely short overhangs at the front and rear make it exceedingly compact and provoke supporters of conventional pickups: small is beautiful – even as a pickup.
The smart for-us rolls on Michelin off-road tyres measuring 235/55 R 18. The wing nuts of the central mounts of the three-spoke wheels are an attractive detail: they fold out and then serve as a lever to release the wheel nuts.
The design of the rhombic front and tail lights is very striking and is reminiscent of the design of the smart forvision, which caused a stir at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. The outer rings illuminate the indicators and daytime running lamps with a large number of rod-shaped LEDs. The lamps seem to push outwards like arrows – like drops on the cockpit window of an aeroplane as it takes off. The tail lights can even be opened and provide stowage space, for example for the charging cable
or drinks cans for sporty bikers.
The tailboard at the rear of the smart for-us is electrically driven. Remote control or touching the integrated touchpad retracts the cargo floor including tailboard by 280 mm, and the tailgate then slides down in a parallel position. The cargo on the 900 mm cargo area is then extremely easy to access.
The high-gloss white metallic paintwork of the smart for-us with the tridion cell in a grey textured finish also builds a bridge to the smart forspeed presented at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, and to the smart ebike. On the other hand, the honeycomb structure of the air inlets takes up an aspect of the smart forvision, which attracted lots of attention at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. The subtle colour accents in a warm yellow establish a further visual link to the interior.
The interior: stylish, uncomplicated and highly functional
Sleek, taut surfaces in mother-of-pearl white combined with precisely designed technical functional elements in brushed aluminium – the interior is characterised by contrasts. The white metallised leather establishes a link to the instrument panel, which in turn is related to the body. The headrests featuring metallic leather are a reference to the matt-finish textured paint of the tridion safety cell and – in line with the clean design – they largely dispense with seams. Yellow adds highlights to the interior, for example on the seat belts and seat covers. Leather door trim provides a further high-quality contrast.
Like in the smart forvision, the whole cockpit boasts aerodynamic styling for interior ventilation. The control and display elements are oriented to the driver. Just as the cockpit module divides the instrument panel, the two-spoke steering wheel is open at the top. In place of a conventional rear-view mirror the smart for-us features a smartphone accommodated in a holder on top of the instrument panel support. The driver can see what is happening on the road behind with the help of an integrated video camera.
Stylish, uncomplicated, highly functional and easy to individualise – the two seats in the concept car are typically smart. The seat shells, which are open in the middle, are covered with a soft fabric throw giving them a hammock-like seating feel. Practical: when the seat cover on the passenger side is removed long items can be loaded through the seat of the smart for-us.
The study has yellow seat covers with a deep embossed silver hexagon pattern indicating a progression and thus emphasising the vehicle's dynamism. As the covers can be removed in no time at all, simple individualisation with other throws is conceivable. The seats could even be used as avant-garde seating at home or when spontaneous seating is needed outdoors.
The cargo space has two slits for the front wheels of the smart ebikes. A special docking station in the middle enables the ebikes to be charged whilst being transported on the smart for-us. And bicycle tools or other items can be accommodated in the stowage compartments on the right and left of the load space.
Electric drive: zero-local-emission driving fun
The electric drive of the smart for-us is based on the innovative drive concept of the smart fortwo electric drive, which will be launched from the spring of 2012.
Thanks to the 55 kW magneto-electric motor the smart for-us is agile and lively to drive. With 130 Newton metres of torque it boasts powerful, lag-free acceleration and it can overtake other vehicles with the greatest of ease. The maximum speed exceeds 120 km/h.
The lithium-ion battery has capacity of 17.6 kWh. When completely empty it takes a maximum of eight hours to fully charge the battery at a household socket or charging station on the electricity systems of most countries i.e. overnight.
smart ebike: urban electric mobility on two wheels
There are two smart ebikes on board the smart for-us – perfect for local-emission-free city driving. The colour of the two ebikes, which are based on the production bike to be launched by smart in the spring of 2012, has been matched to the smart for-us. Some of the components, for example the battery housing, therefore come in the highlight colour yellow.
With an unconventional design in line with the style of the brand, functions appropriate for city use and high technology standards that are demonstrated by the extremely efficient and high-performance drive package among other features, the smart ebike has an exceptional position.
High-quality components guarantee dynamic, safe and fun cycling. For example, MT4 disc brakes from Magura are fitted at the front and rear. The smart ebike also features state-of-the-art infotainment: a USB interface is a standard feature and enables various mobile end devices to be connected.
smart's high technological standards are manifested in the extremely efficient and high-performance drive package. As a "pedelec" (Pedal Electric Cycle) the smart ebike is strictly speaking a hybrid: the electric motor – a maintenance-free and brushless rear-wheel hub motor from BionX – switches on as soon as the rider starts pedalling as with a normal bicycle. Muscle power is transmitted to the rear wheel via a durable and quiet belt drive. An integrated three-speed gear hub provides for simple gear changing.
The strengths of the ebike include its agile performance: the rider of the smart ebike decides how much power he wants the 250 watt electric motor to deliver to support his muscle power by pressing a button on the handlebar. There is a choice of four power levels with the fourth and highest level providing maximum pushing power. Depending on the power level selected and the manner of cycling a battery charge can last for more than 100 kilometres.

A lightweight bout between Strikeforce vet Bobby Green (19-5 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and UFC regular Jacob Volkmann (15-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) is now official for UFC 156.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) first reported the bout, and the promotion recently made it official.
UFC 156 takes place Feb. 2 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. The event's main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.
Green vs. Volkmann is expected to be part of the preliminary card, though its exact placement hasn't been determined. Eight fights are now official for the event.
Green joins four Strikeforce athletes on their way to the UFC following the announcement that the smaller promotion is closing shop with a Jan. 12 event in Oklahoma City. During his time in the Strikeforce hexagon, the 26-year-old Green amassed an impressive 4-1 record, and in August he defeated Matt Ricehouse. A contentious loss to veteran Gesias "JZ" Cavalcante was his only setback.
The 32-year-old Volkmann, meanwhile, is on the rebound following a submission win over Shane Roller at UFC on FX 5, which eased the sting of a submission loss to Paul Sass. The defeat snapped a five-fight win streak that had the former welterweight on the verge of title contention.
The current UFC 156 card includes:
- Champ Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar – for featherweight title
- Rashad Evans vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
- Alistair Overeem vs. Antonio Silva
- Bobby Green vs. Jacob Volkmann
- Joseph Benavidez vs. Ian McCall
- Evan Dunham vs. Gleison Tibau
- Jon Fitch vs. Demian Maia
- Jay Hieron vs. Erick Silva
For more on UFC 156, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.

Overton, 5-foot-9, 160-pounds, enjoyed a fine career at Glenville, and was a threat to score every time he touched the football for the Tarblooders. He is being recruited as a wide receiver.
"I have committed to Kent State," Overton stated Monday evening. "Coach Haynes called me this afternoon after track practice and he said he was offering me a scholarship. He said he wanted to talk to my parents, and they spoke tonight."
"I called him back tonight and accepted the offer after talking to my parents," he added. "It's the right place for me because I have connected with Coach Haynes, and I wanted to stay in Ohio. I will probably be playing wide receiver and returning kicks for Kent State."
As one of the top students academically at Glenville, Overton also considered offers from Navy and Air Force, before choosing Kent State.
