Each Universalis e-book gives you your chosen hours for every day in your chosen period. Each hour is complete in itself, so you don't have to flick backwards and forwards as you do in a printed book.
You can make an e-book covering up to a year at a time. It will contain whatever Universalis pages you want and it will be tailored to your local calendar.
The e-book you make will work on any Kindle. It will also work on any other device which is not a Kindle but runs Amazon's Kindle app. For instance, this is what you do if you have an Android phone whose version of Android is too old for the Universlais app itself.
If you have a modern Kindle Fire or a Kindle Fire HD, don't bother with e-books – get the Universalis app instead!
You can buy ready-made Universalis e-books from Amazon. They cover a year or half a year each. When one runs out, you buy another. The full catalogue is here.
You can send Universalis e-books directly to the Kindle using our web site, using Amazon's "Personal Documents" service. This works both for the Kindle itself and for Amazon's Kindle apps on other devices. This service requires a bit of setting up, and it can't do year-long e-books, but some people find it simpler. Visit the page and create an e-book now!
Here are the basic steps:
Here are detailed instructions for the Mac.
Here are detailed instructions for Windows.
The e-books cost you nothing once you have the Universalis program.
Free trial – after you install the Universalis program you have a month's free trial. This means you can create e-books for the month of installation and the month after that.
Registration code – to make the program work, and create e-books, without any time limits at all, you need a Universalis registration code. If you already have a registration code, use it again: you don't need to buy a new one. Otherwise the price of a registration code is:
Please note that the e-books you create are for your private use only and must not be given or distributed to other people.

Two photos, made decades apart, capture Mickey Rooney's appeal: the sweet kid who could be tough as nails; and the inveterate goofball.
Mickey Rooney, who died one year ago at 93, grew up on stage and on the big screen — appearing before an audience for the first time when he was less than two years old, with his parents in their vaudeville act. Few American actors of any era were as well-known to as many generations of moviegoers as the pint-sized kid from Brooklyn with the outsized talent — and the energy to match.
To get a sense of how popular Rooney was as a young actor, one need look no further than the Feb. 12, 1940, issue of LIFE, when the magazine ran an article titled, "America's Favorite Movie Actor Steals the Show at President's Birthday Ball." This was the scene, as LIFE reported it to the weekly's millions of readers:
Toward midnight of Jan. 30, in the jam-packed ballroom of Washington's Mayflower Hotel, Major Ernest W. Brown, District of Columbia police chief, saw judge Fay Bentley of the District Juvenile Court climb up on a chair and peer eagerly over the crowd. Gallantly he asked if he could be of assistance to her.
"No, no!" cried Judge Bentley. I just want to see Mickey Rooney."
At 19, Mickey Rooney ranks as America's favorite movie star. . . . Last week, with 17 other Hollywood celebrities, he went to Washington to help [President Roosevelt celebrate his birthday.] Clowning, mugging, kissing, lap-sitting and otherwise exhibiting his screen personality (he is subdued and gentlemanly at home), Rooney easily stole the Washington show.
The photos here, above and below, capture something of Rooney's appeal: the sweet kid who, at times, could be tough as nails; and the inveterate goofball who seemed to get as much pleasure out of his kooky personae as did the audiences who, for eight decades, made him one of Hollywood's most enduring stars.

Gruezie! Hello from Switzerland!
At 6am the day after Turkey Day, the mother-son winemaking duo Delia and Alan Viader were en route to Zurich, Switzerland, to be guests of honor for a fantastic Vertical Tasting put together by family friend and wine collector, Eugen Haefliger. The setting on November 30th, was the infamous Restaurant Braui, headed by talented Chef Werner Tobler and featuring delicious Thanksgiving-inspired dishes such as Gefullter Schenkel auf Wirsing Blanquette mit Truffel (turkey liver with truffles)!
Starting with an Imperial 6L of the 2004 VIADER for the reception, the 20-year VIADER Vertical almost exclusively featured large format 1.5L magnum bottles, starting with our inaugural 1989 vintage, and finishing with the classic 2009 VIADER.
For availability please view the Special Features on our website (for a limited time). You may also contact firstname.lastname@example.com, or call (707) 963-3816.
We would like to share with you the tasting notes taken by Alan:
Flight #1
1989 VIADER: Impressive. Showing great today. Nice earthy tones with elegant fruit qualities. Very "Bordeaux-like." Nice finish… still pretty lengthy. Has more life in it!
1990 VIADER: Little tight at first. Dark, forest floor, fresh mushroom, bit leaner but still very good. It is the most "Bordeaux-like" in the flight.
1991 VIADER: Second favorite of the Flight. Hints of dried dark fruits, prunes without negative over-ripeness qualities. Very nice characters. Dark. Spicy. Marmalade. Beautiful wine!
1992 VIADER: Tasting nice today. Waking up. Good earth, spice, with delicate fruit tones. Dark red fruits, dried flowers. Very nice in fact.
1993 VIADER: Impressive. Tight, starting to show a bit of age. After some time really opened up. Some hints of the fruit but turned into more tobacco, cigar box, dried floral notes and earthy notes as well.
1994 VIADER: Star of the flight! Rich and fruity, nice silky textures, creamy, caramel. Hard caramel candy.
Flight #2
1995 VIADER: Star of the flight! Big, bold right off the bat. Nice fruit concentration in balance. Rich fruit, slightly overripe fruit but goes great in this. Reminds me of raspberry liqueur.
1996 VIADER: Interesting hints of tropical fruit. More earthy than 1995. Seems leaner or slightly muted.
1997 VIADER: Big body but tight on the nose. Tons of tannins. Has nice fruit on the finish but chunky right now throughout the palate. Needs time to open up!
1998 VIADER: Second favorite of the flight! Good aromatics, beautiful fruit, dried flowers, layers of silky caramel, earthy depth. Very good wine.
1999 VIADER: Showing a bit of raisin at first. Tons of red fruit, seems sweet and shorter on the finish. Good flavors but bit too rich. Has a bit of root beer or prune soda sweetness on the nose (molasses, prunes, etc.)
Flight #3
2000 VIADER: Very nice wine. Bright red hard cherry candy up front with a solid herbal frame. Hints of green, freshness on the palate. Very nice balance.
2001 VIADER: Bit tired this evening. Nice palate, good sweetness but I remember the aromas being better.
2002 VIADER: Nice, round, rich fruit profile. Solid oak, power wine. Big and chunky right now. Good follow through and nice body. Lengthy but big dark rich fruit and plums.
2003 VIADER: Blueberries! Very good aromatically but dusty and tight on the palate. Less silky than others. Much better from the 750's but aging nicely. Good for another 10+ years easily, maybe more! Improved dramatically with more time to open up in the glass.
2004 VIADER (1.5L and 6L): Beautiful fruit, ripe, round. Nice as well from 1.5L, but the 6L is more "friendly" right now.
Flight #4
2005 VIADER: Big impression. Good fruit, not super "bright" red but more dark cherry as some of the others are more raspberry. Black tea. Good flavors, long-rich palate. Lost the green notes it had several years ago.
2006 VIADER: Very good right now! Big, chunky and bold fruit. Very dense and solid wine. Woke up very well compared to the last time I tasted it. Nice!
2007 VIADER: Less up font frui but tons of spice, oak spice, nice red raspberry fruit. Leaner but not "weak." Still a big wine. More linear and focused. Good right now. Nice fruit finish.
2008 VIADER: Very big and vibrant. Nice chocolate character, layered with dark red cherry, currant. Great fruit today. Showing great!
2009 VIADER: More vanilla, caramel up front. Nice, sweet, juicy wine. Young wine has some "baby fat."
For fun, they also presented a selection of magnums of our estate "V" Petit Verdot Blend.
Flight #5
2003 "V": Rose petal aromas, very soft silky textures. Best wine of the flight. Good now through next 5+ years.
2005 "V": Very open and expressive tonight. Very nice. Big finish. Has nice lift of fruit with decent grip. Going to be good in 5+ years.
2010 "V": Bigger, riper style of wine. More rich, raspberry, flowers. Big powerful style. Too young right now, but going to be an amazing wine. 5-10+ years.

COP17: China to highlight domestic efforts while seeking Kyoto deal in Durban
- Date
- 28 November 2011
Changhua Wu, The Climate Group's Greater China Director, takes a look at China's negotiating position ahead of this week's COP17 in Durban, South Africa.
For China, success in Durban hinges on two key outcomes: agreement on a second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, and fulfillment of commitments made by developed countries in Copenhagen and Cancun relating to finance, technology and adaptation.
For its part, China will stress its continuing domestic efforts to restructure its economy through energy efficiency improvements and deployment of non-fossil fuel energy. China has made clear that this action is independent of what happens internationally. Significantly, China has also stated that it will work with international community to consider what further commitments are needed to prevent dangerous climate change on the basis of the latest scientific assessments.
China's position is well reflected in the declaration from the most recent BASIC Ministers meeting held in Beijing in early November. The positions laid out at this meeting have subsequently been endorsed by other developing countries, including the Small Island and the Africa Country groups.
China is in a more "comfortable" position now with respect to the international negotiating process. This is due in part to the lessons learnt at Copenhagen and in part through demonstration of actions and outcomes domestically, including:
- Placing green growth and low carbon transformation at the core of the national development strategy, as illustrated by the 12th Five-Year Plan;
- Taking aggressive steps domestically to develop climate change policies, legislation, and also market-based instruments such as sub-national carbon trading pilot programs;
- Provinces and cities focusing on green growth in their local development plans, including through pilot projects such as the Five Provinces and Eight Cities ProgramData showing that China is leading global Investment in and deployment of clean energy and other clean technologies, (see China Clean Revolution IV: Financing China's Low Carbon Growth report)
- Businesses stepping up efforts to address energy efficiency and clean energy/renewable energy development in line with government policy incentives and support.
China's action domestically has also become an important trigger or incentive for other major economies, at least from competitiveness and opportunity perspectives. China's policy direction and incentives to enlarge an expanding domestic market is a well recognized trigger for action by others.
But internationally, China has to think hard about other countries' expectations. This includes China's role and leadership in the international process. The EU, for instance, has expressed a willingness to consider a second Kyoto commitment period but only if a broader treaty involving the US, China and other major economies is also agreed in parallel.
With a clear understanding of the international situation and recognizing that a final deal won't be reached in Durban, China is working to strengthen other processes. This includes bilateral dialogues with US, EU, and others, as well as regional platforms such as the BASIC, APEC, BRIC, ASEAN* processes.
It is interesting to observe that even though the international community will struggle at Durban, the Clean Revolution language is already well-embedded in statements from these other leadership platforms and processes.
*APEC: Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation process; BRIC: Brazil, Russia, India, China group; ASEAN: Association of South East Asian Nations.

The Writing Center
A Collective Effort
We believe that writing is not a process that occurs in isolation or by a sole individual. Instead, writing is a collective effort that students, instructors, and Writing Consultants engage in together. We work toward this goal with student writers and faculty.
All writers benefit from another set of eyes, since it's difficult for all of us to read our own writing critically. Since your reader can't be inside your head, knowing what you think, why you think it, how you think it, and how it's connected to another idea, you have to be very explicit about all these elements of your writing. The Writing Center's consultants are trained to recognize the cloudier parts of your writing and to offer practical and honest advice to you about how to remedy those problems.
For questions regarding the Writing Center, please contact Brenda Boyle.
Reasons to Visit
With all the tools and services available, there are many great reasons to visit the Writing Center:
Consultants are trained as critical readers.
All writers benefit from another set of eyes, since it's difficult for all of us to read our own writing critically. Since your reader can't be inside your head, knowing what you think, why you think it, how you think it, and how it's connected to another idea, you have to be very explicit about all these elements of your writing. Teachers expect you to be explicit; they read hundred of pages of writing and don't want to struggle with the reading. Unlike your friend or your roommate or the guy down the hall who gets As on writing assignments, the Center's consultants are trained to recognize the cloudier parts of your writing and to offer practical and honest advice to you about how to remedy those problems. After reading your paper for the first time, a consultant won't uncritically say "It's great. You should get an A."
Consultants are critical thinkers.
As high-performing students, all of the Center's consultants have demonstrated their ability to be effective critical thinkers. While they may not have taken the class for which you are writing and they may not be familiar with the subject matter, they do know which questions to ask that will help you develop your ideas. To do your best writing, you want to be challenged on your ideas and their expression before you have to submit the paper to your teacher for evaluation. A Writing Center consultant can challenge you without your risking a final grade.
Consultants are nice people.
Consultants care about writing, and they want you to do the best you can. In addition to understanding and caring about writing, one of the reasons they were chosen was because they are friendly people. Their being friendly will help you feel more at ease about your writing challenges.
Students often don't know how to write for college.
Typically, most students come to Denison without a lot of experience of writing, let alone the various types of writing in disciplines other than English they will be expected to do here. Students across the United States often believe they are ready for college writing, but this is rarely the case, according to their college teachers. In fact, in a 2006 Chronicle of Higher Education article regarding the perception of students being prepared for college, while 36% of high school teachers believed their students were "very well-prepared" for college writing, only 6% of college teachers believed this. Conversely, 10% of high school teachers thought their students were "not well-prepared," while 44% of college teachers thought this. (Sanoff, Alvin P. "A Perception Gap Over Students' Preparation." Chronicle of Higher Education. March 10, 2006: B9-B14
College requires writing not usually taught in high school.
If college wasn't different from high school, there wouldn't be much point in doing it. High school may have trained you well how to write five-paragraph literary analyses, and that was fine for then. That was your introduction to writing, but it wasn't the conclusion. Knowing how to write in that form may not aid you now in developing a thoughtful, well-reasoned and lengthy argument with substantial evidence and using Standard English conventions over the course of a month or a semester. The Writing Center is here to help new Denison students make the transition from high school types and quantities of writing to college types and numbers, and also to help more mature students continue to improve their writing.
Working at effective writing continues through college.
Ask any professor about her writing and she's likely to say that she's still working on its quality. So, regardless of your major, completing FYS 101 and/or FYS 102 doesn't end your writing experience in college. You continue to write through your four years, even if you're writing notes or a lab report or an email to your teacher or a graduate school application. Even as a more mature student, a second pair of eyes can always help your writing.
Your teachers appreciate any sincere effort you make to improve your writing.
Across the disciplines, many teachers bemoan the state of writing among students but don't have the class time to commit to teaching writing. By working with a Writing Center consultant (and giving permission to have this effort reported to your teacher), you demonstrate commitment to your education that the best Denison students exhibit.

Why were board games so popular? They were just that in the early 19th century; games painted or scratched onto a piece of board, usually with a different game on each side of the board. They were simple to make at home with a slab of wood, ink or paint, and checkers of dried corn or beans. The pieces were easily moved and simple to hard games could be made up. This board game is very typical of the period with checkers on one side and "Nine Man's Morris" on the other. Nine Man's Morris is a harder form of the game "Tic Tac Toe".

Voters First Ohio is not letting Republicans get away with any dishonesty on Issue 2. In a complaint filed to the Ohio Elections Commission yesterday, the pro-redistricting reform group claimed a recent mailer from Republicans contained three incorrect statements.
"In an effort to affect the outcome of the election and defeat State Issue 2, Republicans have knowingly, or with reckless disregard of the truth, made false statements in printed campaign material disseminated to registered voters," the complaint said.
If approved by voters in November, Issue 2 will place the responsibility of redistricting in the hands of an independent citizens commission. Currently, politicians handle the process, which they use to redraw district boundaries in politically advantageous ways in a process known as "gerrymandering." Ohio's First Congressional District, which includes Cincinnati, was redrawn by the Republican-controlled process to include Warren County, which contains more rural voters that tend to vote Republican, and less of Cincinnati, which contains more urban voters that tend to vote Democrat.
The Voters First complaint outlines three allegedly false statements made by the Republican mailer. The first claim is "Some of the members will be chosen in secret." As the complaint points out, this is false. The redistricting amendment on the November ballot will require nine of twelve members to be chosen in public, and then those nine members will pick the three final members. All of this has to be done in the public eye, according to the amendment: "All meetings of the Commission shall be open to the public."
The second disputed claim is that the amendment will provide a "blank check to spend our money" for the commission. The Ohio Supreme Court ruled against that claim on Sept. 12 when it ruled against Secretary of State Jon Husted's proposed ballot language for Issue 2: "The actual text of the proposed amendment does not state that the redistricting amendment would have — as the ballot board's language indicates — a blank check for all funds as determined by the commission."
The mailer also claims that, in the redistricting amendment, "There's no process for removing these bureaucrats, even if they commit a felony." But the amendment says commissioners must be electors, and when an elector is convicted of a felony, that status is lost. The complaint says commissioners can also be removed "by a judge under a petition process that applies to public officials generally for exercising power not authorized by law, refusing or neglecting to perform a duty imposed by law, gross neglect of duty, gross immorality, drunkenness, misfeasance, nonfeasance, or malfeasance."
The Ohio Elections Commission will take up the complaint Thursday morning. The full complaint can be read here.
Matthew Henderson, spokesperson for the Ohio Republican Party, called the complaint a "distraction": "It's a cheap shot. It's up to the Ohio Elections Commission, and they'll likely throw it out. It's essentially a distraction from the real issues. The bottom line is that Issue 2 is going to create a panel of unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats, and they'll have influence over our elections."
He added, "Ohio voters will be able to decide for themselves this fall whether they want to pay for these commissioners or not."
When pressed about whether or not the Ohio Republican Party is sticking to the claims found in the mailer, he said that's up to the Ohio Elections Commission to decide.
It is true the independent citizens commission created by Voters First is unelected, but that's the entire point. The current problem with the system, as argued by Voters First, is elected officials are too vested in reelection to place the district boundary needs of the public above electoral needs. That's why districts like Ohio's First Congressional District are redrawn in a way that includes Cincinnati and Warren County — two regions that are vastly different.
CityBeat previously covered the redistricting issue when Husted's ballot language lost in court and when We Are Ohio threw its support behind Voters First.
While current Republicans oppose redistricting reform in Ohio, some Republicans of the past advocated for it. Ronald Reagan was one such advocate:
Let's start the morning roundup with a truly radical idea: How about using Paul Brown Stadium as a homeless shelter during the roughly 340 nights a year when the Bengals aren't using it?
That's just what might happen with the new Marlins ballpark or the Tampa Bay Rays' Tropicana Field in Florida if two state lawmakers have their way. They want to enforce an obscure 1988 Florida law that allows any ballpark or stadium that receives taxpayer money to serve as a homeless shelter on the dates that it is not in use. Sounds like a great idea to us.
Bryan Fischer, radio host and Christian group American Family Association affiliate, has been trying to prove a point since last month: that gay activists are the "number one perpetrators of hate crimes in America."
a video was posted of Fischer pooping out of his mouth something
about the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Fischer said "You're
going to have the homosexual lobby committing one hate crime after
another against servicemen. This is going to be virtual genocide …
for people of faith."
Sarah Palin, who is undecided about running for president, will accidentally collide with Mitt Romney when she wheels her "One Nation" tour into New Hampshire today. Romney, who has announced his intention to run for president, is scheduled to deliver a speech in Stratham, N.H., and Palin said, "Maybe we'll run into him." Palin, in an interview with CNN said that New Hampshire voters aren't particularly special and that it's a coincidence that she and Romney are in New Hampshire at the same time. "I guess that's that nonpolitician in me not looking at a New Hampshire voter any differently just because they have, you know, an earlier primary than somebody else," Palin said.
Left-leaning blog cannonfire.com reports that the Weinergate scandal has been closed because the format of the pee pee picture Anthony Weiner allegedly sent to coed Gennette Cordova was resized and reformatted, meaning the New York congressman sent the photo.
"Don't act like you're not impressed."
Heuwetter is pissed her late aunt left the majority of her estate —
around $300,000 — to Family Radio, the group that predicted the
world would end on May 21. Though she knew her aunt Doris Schmitt
loved the radio station and its batshit crazy owner, Harold Camping,
she never guessed that she'd be one of the poor souls to contribute
so much to Family Radio, which made $18 million in 2009 alone.
"This was not a woman who had anything. She literally had Family Radio on day and night — she went to bed with it and woke up to it," said Heuwetter. "That was all she had." That and about $300,000. "She would have been devastated," Heuwetter said. "Listening to him say things would be better in paradise made her feel better — she totally believed she would leave this world on May 21, and she needed to believe that." Unfortunately, Scmitt died alone at the age of 78 on May 2, 2010 in her small home in Queens, New York.
Camping, who forgot to mention that his prediction that the world would end extends to October —factoring in leap year and all that — assures everyone who gave him money that they will die happy deaths later this year and anyone who hasn't given him money can still make a donation to the Family Radio website.
But please don't actually do that.
Holy shit. Reagan? Really?

Iowa State In Finals After Win Over No. 10 Kansas
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Georges Niang scored 14 of his 25 points in the second half to lead No. 16 Iowa State (25-7 overall, 11-7 Big 12) to a 94-83 win over No. 10 Kansas (24-9, 14-4 Big 12) Friday night in the semifinals of the Big 12 Championship in Kansas City, Mo.
Iowa State was virtually flawless in the second half, making 17-of-25 shots from the field (68.0 percent), led by Niang, who was 7-of-10 from the floor after intermission.
Niang received help from DeAndre Kane, who tied a career-high with five 3-pointers en route to 20 points.
The Cyclones, who won their school-record eighth game vs. a ranked opponent this season, will play in the Big 12 Championship game tomorrow night for the first time since winning it in 2000.
Iowa State jumped out to an early 18-9 lead with outstanding shooting. The Cyclones made 7-of-12 from the floor to begin the game, while KU began 5-of-17. Kane hit a pair of 3-pointers to help ISU get out in front.
The Jayhawks soon heated up, going on a 16-0 run to go up 32-23. Perry Ellis scored seven points in the flurry, which was aided by a technical foul call on Fred Hoiberg when he came out onto the floor for a media timeout.
Melvin Ejim stopped the bleeding with a long 3-pointer to cut the KU lead to 32-26 with seven minutes left in the half.
With KU back up by 10 points (36-26), the Cyclones went on a 17-6 run to go up 43-42. Ejim had seven points in the run. KU led at the break, 48-46 in the up-and-down shootout.
ISU came out the aggressor in the second half, going on a 20-9 to run to open the period. Kane made eight points in the run on a pair of 3-pointers, as the Cyclones led 66-57 with 12:19 left in the contest.
Niang kept the Cyclones in the lead by going to work down low. He scored three-straight hoops on nifty moves to put ISU up 79-68 with 6:20 left in the game.
KU never got closer than seven points the rest of the way.
Keys to the Game
Second-half Scoring Outburst. Iowa State put on a clinic in the second half, gashing the Jayhawk defense for 48 points on 17-of-25 shooting from the field (68.0 percent). Georges Niang was 7-of-10 from the floor in the second half.
For the second day in a row, the Cyclones scored the most points an opponent has given up all season. The Cyclones scored 91 vs. Kansas State last night and 94 vs. Kansas tonight, both season highs for the Wildcats and Jayhawks.

|'Snow' much to learn
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Snow is much more than white, wet and cold. There are many different facts about snow that make it unique and one of the more complex types of precipitation.
—Although snow appears white because of the countless tiny surfaces of each snowflake crystal reflecting most of the wavelengths of light, snowflakes are actually colorless. Snow may take on other colors thanks to particulates in the air or even from different strains of algae.
—Many places around the world hold world records pertaining to snow. The most snow to fall in a 24-hour period occurred in 1921 in Silver Lake, Colorado, where 76 inches of snow fell. However, the most snow to fall in one year took place on Mount Baker in the state of Washington. This area saw more than 1,000 inches of snowfall during the 1998-99 season.
—The world's largest snow sculpture was called "Romantic Feelings" and was 656 feet long and 115 feet tall. The sculpture was on display at the International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival in Heilongjiang Province in China.
—Snowflakes come in many different shapes, and their sizes are determined by how many ice crystals connect together.
—It can be too cold for snow to form. Without enough water droplets in the air, snow will not fall during extremely cold weather.
—The largest snowflakes ever recorded fell in the state of Montana. The snowflakes were 15 inches in diameter.
—The average snowflake falls at a speed of 3.1 miles per hour.
—Snow that has been compacted after multiple melting and refreezing cycles is known as snow pack.
—A snow storm describes a heavy snowfall that results in several inches of snowfall. A blizzard classifies a snow storm combined with wind, obscuring visibility.
—Snow will either melt or sublimate. Sublimation is when snow turns from a solid form into a gaseous form without an intermediary liquid phase.
—Snow can be heavy or light depending on its water content.
—An avalanche occurs when snow that has accumulated on a mountain is disturbed by a thermal or physical impact, which causes the snow to rush downhill in a large mass. Preceding an avalanche is a phenomenon known as an avalanche wind caused by the approaching avalanche itself, which adds to its destructive potential.

New data shows slower increase in 1990s, with possible stagnant growth in late 90s, early 2000s
SAN FRANCISCO — Americans continue to pull away from organized
religion, but the rate of departure previously reported may not have
been as abrupt as originally thought, according to research presented
at the 104th annual meeting of the American Sociological Association.
Sociologists Michael Hout and Claude S. Fischer of the University of California, Berkeley, find that the previous estimate of a doubling during the 1990s of the proportion of Americans with no religion probably started earlier than 1991 and doubled over a 14- or 15-year period. New data suggest that the trend continued through 2008, likely fueled at least partially by the growing number of Americans who were raised with no religion.
The current investigation revisits the researchers' April 2002 American Sociological Review article, "Why More Americans Have No Religious Preference: Politics and Generations," using data from the General Social Survey fielded between 1973 and 2008. The General Social Survey is conducted by the National Opinion Research Center and funded by the National Science Foundation.
According to the new data, 93 percent of Americans believe in God; a figure unchanged since 1988. The group that increased was the group Hout and Fischer call "unchurched believers," those people who believe in God but report no religion.
"If you think of organized religion as having two parts—the organized part and the religious part—the church-leavers' quarrel is with the organized part," said Michael Hout, professor of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, and the lead author of the study.
As originally reported in 2002, Hout and Fischer assert that politics continue to play a role in the increase in those reporting no religion preference. The sociologists note a parallel between the rising rates of non-religious Americans and the number of mentions of the "religious right" in press coverage in the past nearly four decades.
Political liberals and moderates are much less likely to report a religion now than in 1988; almost all political conservatives identify with a church now as they did twenty years ago.
"Invoking religion to promote a conservative social agenda may energize conservative members, but it alienates political moderates and liberals," Hout said. "The result has been a significant decrease in the fraction of American adults identifying with an organized religion."
Americans expressed stronger anti-religious feelings in 2008 than in
1998. For example, two-thirds of adults agreed that "religion brings
more conflict than peace" in 2008 compared with just one-third in 1998.
Similarly more Americans described themselves as "non-religious" in
2008 than in 1998.
Among the rising number of Americans who cite no religious preference, those who believe in either God or the afterlife outnumber those with no beliefs. In addition, the number of religiously affiliated non-believers declined sharply between 1973 and 2008.
Hout and Fischer presented the research, "The Politics of Religious Identity in the United States, 1974-2008," on Sunday, Aug. 9, at 8:30 a.m. PDT, in the Hilton San Francisco at the American Sociological Association's 104th annual meeting.

Truffle Butter: Full of Flavor
ruffle butter is an incredibly delicious, versatile (and addicting!) compound butter that can be used on it's own as a spread or added to other ingredients in a recipe.
Our truffle butters are made in small batches to exacting specifications from proprietary recipes, for a consistent product with unmatched quality and taste. D'Artagnan truffle butters should be staples in every home cook's pantry!
Black, White and Spread all Over…
D'Artagnan's Black Truffle Butter is made with all-natural sweet cream butter, real black truffle pieces and real black truffle juice with a touch of black truffle oil and soy sauce for seasoning and depth of flavor. We take special care to get the right ratio of truffle pieces in each batch so the sweet creaminess of the butter is perfectly balanced with robust, earthy truffle flavor and heady aroma.
Our White Truffle Butter combines fresh creamery butter with aromatic porcini mushrooms and D'Artagnan White Truffle Oil. The alluring scent of white truffle butter is deep and complex with notes of garlic, parmesan, pungent white truffle and a bold umami-rich flavor that lingers beautifully. Exceptionally lush and satisfying, a pat of our white truffle butter makes even the most meager dish indulgent and special.
D'Artagnan black and white truffle butters are heavenly on their own, simply spread on fresh bread, but can also be incorporated into just about any savory dish or recipe that calls for butter. They will truly change the way you cook and eat.
Here are a few ideas to get you started…
- For better burgers, bury a slice of chilled truffle butter into the center of your patties just before searing or grilling – the butter will melt, keeping the center juicy and tender while allowing the outside to develop a flavorful crust. Topping a perfectly seared steak with a pat of truffle butter intensifies its savory, meaty flavor. Try massaging softened black truffle butter under the skin of chicken or turkey before seasoning and roasting for moist flesh with deep flavor and crisp skin that's dotted with truffle bits.
- Instantly upgrade any potato dish by adding a knob of truffle butter – from simple, hearty mashed potatoes to crispy yet tender Pommes Anna, fluffy salt-baked Russets to oven-roasted baby reds. Try tossing a scoop of truffle butter with hot pasta or stir into risotto. Steamed tender-crisp vegetables with a bit of melted truffle butter make for a simple but decadent side.
- Finish a simple pan sauce with a generous spoon of truffle butter for extra silky mouth-feel and rich, truffle flavor. Truffle butter and eggs make a harmonious pairing. Pungent truffle flavor compliments the rich, creaminess of soft cooked egg beautifully. A dab of truffle butter echoes the complex, meaty taste of sautéed mushrooms intensifying their woodsy, nutty flavor.
- For a midday (or midnight) snack, follow the French and spread truffle butter on bread then add some fresh salad greens and a pile of paper-thin jambon de Bayonne for a quick and satisfying tartine. A crisp ficelle sliced lengthwise, filled with soft truffle butter and salty artisanal dry-cured saucisson sec makes a wonderful sandwich. Grilled cheese made with gruyere and truffle butter? Bien sur!


text: Does anyone have any spots they like to hunt for early bow seasons? When I say early, I mean the first week of September and prior. Early to mid-August would be best. Our season here in SD doesn't start until Sept. 22 and by then I'm pretty swamped with the crop harvest. I'm looking to find somewhere I can hunt maybe not every year, but every two or three years that has a pretty good hunt. I'm not afraid to walk several miles (right now on our spot and stalk hunts we average 10-12 miles a day). I mainly want a good hunt. Something I can bring meat back home and have a good time, but also seeing some good animals is a plus. Anywhere from 140" and up would be perfectly fine with me. I can try and help with some South Dakota questions if anyone needs info on some of those hunts.

Tulsi Tanti
- Date
- 13 January 2012
Tulsi Tanti Founder, Director and Chairman, Suzlon - and Clean Revolution Ambassador - shares the secrets of Suzlon's great success, defines 'cooperative competition' and pinpoints what the world's business leaders must do to realize the Clean Revolution.
- How did you decide that wind energy was the solution you wanted to pursue in order drive sustainable development?
The world needs more energy. Wind is free and abundant and increasingly cost-competitive as an energy source – it is also a central power source for any low carbon economy.
- What challenges did you face in rolling out your company?
Many! The wind market in India was pretty non-existent when we started Suzlon, but I think wind is now seen in many countries as part of the solution to the crises we have: global warming, energy shortages, the lack of water and food in many parts of the world. So, we are having a positive impact.
- Why has Suzlon been successful?
From day one we have remained true to ourselves: outcome-focused, confident of the sector and our place in it, learning as we grew.
- Was there a moment when you doubted your strategy? If so, how was this doubt overcome?
The global economic crash probably made every government and company in the world question and change their strategy, because nobody saw it coming. However, we are now in a good place once again and have created a strong platform for responsible growth.
- Do you see other emerging-economy CEOs replicating your conviction that clean energy is critical to the development of India and Africa?
Yes, and that is extremely welcome. I believe in 'cooperative competition' – the majority of markets where we operate are still in growth phase, so there's business for everyone. What matters is the outcome: clean and affordable energy for all.
- What do business leaders need to do to make a Clean Revolution happen?
We need to be out there making the case for it. Organizations like The Climate Group, World Economic Forum and others are critical to enabling the Clean Revolution to become a sustainable and lasting reality.
- Where will Suzlon's focus be in five years?
Helping countries get to a place where 25% of their energy requirements are met by wind! Suzlon is a member of The Climate Group. You can read more about Suzlon's Clean Revolution leadership at TheCleanRevolution.org.
Mr. Tulsi Tanti, Founder and Chairman & Managing Director, Suzlon Energy Limited, first ventured into business with a textiles company in Gujarat, India. In 1994, faced with escalating power costs and using his background in commerce and engineering, he soon found wind energy to be the most economic and sustainable power solution. He set up two wind turbines to supply electricity for his textile unit in Gujarat which rapidly prospered. Recognizing the great potential wind energy offered, Tulsi Tanti created Suzlon Energy Limited in 1995.
In just 14 years, Tulsi Tanti has led Suzlon to rank third as a wind energy world leader, with 12.3% of global market share and revenues of over US$ 5 billion in the financial year 2008-2009, with plans underway to extend its presence across 21 countries on five continents.
Building on this commercial success, Tulsi Tanti has since set forth a goal for Suzlon of not just being a successful wind energy company, but also being a socially responsible enterprise, with sustainable development at the core of the business. His commitment to social and ecological development, and his vocal advocacy of climate change mitigation has been honored numerous awards including 'Champion of the Earth 2009' by the United Nations Environment Program, 'Hero of the Environment' by TIME Magazine and 'Entrepreneur of the Year 2006' by Ernst & Young, among several others.

V3.24 seems to have corrected the defects in PC Direct Mode; this allows operating with EQMOD without needing the RS232 to TTL conversion adapter. Other features/updates are probably in the release notes on the Skywatcher site.

Goodguys 2006 Street Machine of the YearWritten on July 19, 2006 Bob Johnson's G-Force 'Cuda wins Goodguys 2006 Street Machine of the Year presented by Air Ride Technologies
A journey that started three years ago, was capped off in victory last night, as Bob Johnson's radical orange "G-Force" 1971 Plymouth Barracuda took home the award the build team had targeted all along - the Goodguys Street Machine of the Year. Built by Alan Johnson and his talented team of fabricators at Johnson's Rod Shop (no relation to the owner) in Gadsden, Alabama, the G-Force 'Cuda has sent shockwaves through the hot rodding industry. It could easily be said this car is all things to all car people. Its part street machine, part muscle car, part dragster, part G-Machine, part Fantasy - it's the kind of machine we have never before seen in this industry.
An all-aluminum 572ci Hemi spits out 870 hp on pump gas. A custom tube-frame chassis anchors the all-aluminum C5 Corvette suspension into place. Out back is a six-speed C5 transaxle. Up front are 15-inch Red Devil titanium brakes with six-piston calipers. The front fenders, hood, and front and rear spoilers are custom molded out of carbon fiber. Curb weight is an astonishing 2,800 pounds.
"When I was in the Top 5 for Street Machine of the Year back in 2002 with my Camaro, I told Alan I wanted to build the ultimate Street Machine and to come here to Columbus and take home this award," said an exuberant Bob Johnson of Gainesville, Georgia. "We did it. Thanks to everyone for their efforts on this machine."
Johnson's 'Cuda faced stiff competition for the crown. Other Street Machine of the Year finalists included Brian Baker's Arias powered 1955 Chevy, Brad Jenkin's slick and smooth twin turbo powered 1967 Chevelle, Richard Ruiter's homebuilt Canada based 1955 Chevy convertible and John & Joann Oronzio's 1957 Chevy convertible.
The Goodguys Street Machine of the Year award is presented here at the Goodguys PPG Nationals in Columbus, Ohio on an annual basis. Street Machines 1949 through 1972 vintage are eligible for the award.

FASHION FIX: Ivanovic is thrilled to debut her U.S. Open adidas dress!
Here's Ana Ivanovic in the new outfit she'll be working at the U.S. Open courtesy of adidas. It's the adilibria dress (with optional leggings) she's been toting around recently but in a new purply-pink colorway.
Damn. NaturAna looks like she can barely raise her fist for that pump. The FPF has hit her HARD (now she knows how we feel.) Or is this her game face? If so, it explains a lot.
[Photo(s): AnaIvanovic.com]
6 comments:
Wow, an unflattering picture of Ana? I didn't know those existed! She looks absolutely bored.ReplyDelete
Definitely should ditch the leggings.ReplyDelete
Word is she will be donning a adidas catsuit next year, i kid you not.
@ d: OMFG. I want that NOW. Can we have it now, adidas?!ReplyDelete
I know her results have been less than stellar but that doesn't justify what adidas is doing to her with that dress. I mean really? The top and bottom of it look like they're from two seperate items.ReplyDelete
Speaking as a straight bloke Pink does not suit AnaReplyDelete
Sad to say catsuit for her, it is not gonna be.ReplyDelete

Volcanoes of the Deep Sea
Show Description
At 12,000 feet below the ocean's surface, you will have an unprecedented look at this vast and little-explored dimension of our planet. The film follows a team of scientists on a dive to research mysterious hydrothermal vents on the mid-ocean ridge. As the dive progresses, the film unveils the fantastic diversity of the deep—its strange communities of organisms, shipwreck gardens, bioluminescent creatures, giant predators. Astonishingly, these dark, hostile regions contain 97 percent of the Earth's biosphere!
Besides putting you into contact with the planet's oddest creatures and phenomena, Volcanoes of the Deep Sea also examines the implications that deep-ocean discoveries may have for our understanding of the emergence of life and our search for its traces elsewhere in the cosmos.

Tires slashed on 35 vehicles
Published: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 10:50 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 11:12 a.m.
OCALA - Tires were slashed or punctured on 35 vehicles in east Ocala neighborhoods on Monday night or Tuesday morning.
The Ocala Police Department is investigating the rash of vandalism affecting 32 victims and including 35 vehicles and 74 tires at businesses and apartment complexes.
The affected areas include the 1800 to 2000 blocks of East Silver Springs Boulevard and the 2000 block of Northeast Third Street to the 2600 block of Northeast Seventh Street.
OPD estimated the overall damage at $12,799.
It's not the first time vehicles in Ocala have been subjected to random acts of violence.
Last month, officers recorded close to two dozen cases in which vehicle windows were apparently shot out with a BB gun.
The vehicles were parked outside in residential neighborhoods in the northeast and southeast areas of the city.
Police are still investigating those incidents. It is not clear whether those cases are related to this week's vandalism.
Anyone with information about the damaged tires can be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest. Those with information can call Detective Mary Brewton at 629-8425, OPD at 369-7000, the Crime Line at 369-7061 or Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP, visit www.ocalacrimestoppers.com.

LANSDOWNE, Va. (WUSA) -- A woman wanted in California for more than a decade was found in Loudoun County, Va. last week and is awaiting extradition.
Loudoun County authorities say 67-year-old Carolyn Macy was sent to state prison in Santa Clara County, CA on May 25, 1999 to serve a three-year sentence on fraud and identity theft charges. In February 2000, authorities say Macy escaped custody after she was transferred to another facility.
Then, last week, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and Fairfax County Sheriff's Office detectives who are part of the U.S. Marshal's Service Fugitive Task Force told the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office that Macy was living at Leisure World in Lansdowne, VA.
On Oct. 26, Loudoun County Sheriff's Office and the Fairfax County Sheriff's Office deputies took Macy into custody at her home without incident.
Macy is being held without bond at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center on a felony extradition warrant.

So Rafael Nadal got shocked by Gael Monfils in Doha this week - boo. But he didn't leave empty-handed.
The Mallorcan Matador and compatriot Marc Lopez captured the doubles crown defeating the world's top team of Nenad Zimonjic + Daniel Nestor 4-6, 6-4, 10-8.
How refreshing it is to see the world's top-ranked baller playing doubles at an ATP World Tour event AND winning it. It doesn't happen often.
Anyway, here's the trophy ceremony (thanks Meri!) involving all the usual Rafaness (gracious attitude, complimentary words, wedgie pull) and a funny Marc whipping out notecards - because even he knows he may never be in this position again.

WHEELING - Trailing 6-0 with less than 5 minutes remaining during a frustrating game for the offenses by both teams, St. John Central turned two stunning defensive plays into touchdowns and shocked Bridgeport 14-6 in the opener of Thursday's McDonald's OVAC Kickoff Weekend at Wheeling Island Stadium.
Kasey Opic stripped the ball from a Bulldogs running back and raced 25 yards untouched into the end zone to knot the score at 6-6. Dario Paolino's extra-point kick sailed just inside the right upright to put the Irish on top for the first time with 4:27 to play.

Bridgeport's next possession also ended in disaster following a 10-yard sack of quarterback Bailey McGrath by Kolin Melko at the 1-yard-line. Faced with fourth-and-26 and less than 3 minutes left, Bulldogs coach Rudy Vavrock decided to roll the dice, calling for a halfback option pass out of the end zone by Dallas Fields. The speedy senior took the pitch, rolled to his right and his desperation pass toward the middle of the field was intercepted by safety Alex Francis.
After stepping in front of the receiver, Francis made the pick and headed toward the right sideline, finally diving for the final yard at the pylon. Paolino's conversion kick was right down the middle, giving St. John an eight-point advantage with still 2:29 to play.
Bridgeport geared up for one last-ditch attempt at a TD and a possible game-tying two-point conversion attempt behind the arm of McGrath.
Melko, among a host of St. John defenders that harassed the Bulldogs in the late afternoon heat, knocked down a couple of passes before McGrath found Fields open twice for a dozen yards. One was an an excellent catch along the left sideline that moved the sticks. The Bridgeport sophomore quarterback then found Kyle Cooper on a 34-yard strike down the middle for a first down inside the St. John 10 with less than a minute to play.
Hampered by 85 yards in penalties throughout the game, a flag was dropped when the Bulldogs couldn't get a snap off in 25 seconds after spiking the ball on second down. Two plays later, Bridgeport's final chance ended when DJ Shoemaker tackled Fields well short of the goal line on fourth down.
Taking over a team that went winless in 2011 and had lost 12 in a row overall heading into his first season at the helm, Coach Jason Merryman was ecstatic after the victory was secured.
''I wanted to see how these kids would deal with adversity," the beaming Merryman said. ''It's been a long time for them and I think we handled it pretty well.
''They weren't going to lay down. When you walk in our locker room at home you will see a big sign that says 'Believe.' We have shirts that have 'Believe' on them. They believed they could do this."
It sure wasn't easy as the Fighting Irish never seemed to get untracked against a Bridgeport defense that also didn't bend much. Mistakes and penalties provided St. John with three possessions in Bulldogs territory during the first half alone, but Irish came away with no points.
Merryman's team also had a couple of opportunities in the fourth quarter, the last one ending with a punt to the Bridgeport 17 with St. John out of time outs and fewer than 5 minutes left.
All the Bulldogs had to do was hang on to the football and possibly pick up a couple of first downs that might have burned the remaining time off the clock. However, on the first down, Opic was able to wrestle the ball away and helped turn what appeared to be another loss for the Fighting Irish into a memorable victory.
Bridgeport was down to one timeout when it made the decision to pass out of its own end zone for yet another play that ended in disaster with the Francis interception and TD return.
''Two plays made the difference," Vavrock noted. ''But we made a lot more mistakes with the penalties and not being able to move the ball on offense. We missed a lot of assignments. St. John's stepped up and played strong. I still want to give our kids credit for coming back hard after being down late. We just could not get it done at the end."
The only score in the first half was a Bridgeport touchdown midway through the second quarter after a drive that consumed seven plays and 68 yards. Two key plays setting up the score were a 20-yard screen pass to Fields and a McGrath keeper for 32 yards inside the 5.
Fields, bottled up most of the day from a Fighting Irish defense that was set up to not let him beat them, got the touchdown off right tackle. Yet another penalty on the conversion attempt resulted in the Bulldogs going for 2, only to see McGrath's pass fall incomplete.
Fields, probably the most dangerous back in the Bulldogs' arsenal, was limited to 15 yards rushing on 17 carries, although he caught six passes for 68 yards. On at least three occasions, he had first down runs called back because of Bridgeport penalties.
Shoemaker led the St. John ground game with 47 yards on 15 attempts. Francis had three receptions covering 76 yards.
''Our defensive ends stayed there and did a great job against Bridgeport's counter plays," Merryman said. ''We didn't tackle too well at times but the kids were very aggressive and flew to the football.
''We'll get better. This was big. We'll see what happens in Week 2."

Florida man arrested in 1993 murder of Seattle punk-rock singer
Police late last night arrested a 48-year-old Florida man in the 1993 rape and murder of local punk-rock singer Mia Zapata.
The man, identified by Seattle police as Jesus C. Mezquia, was linked to the killing by DNA evidence. Investigators from four jurisdictions converged on Mezquiaís house in the Florida Keys at 11:15 p.m. Mezquia, who lived in Seattle at the time of the murder, was arrested without incident. He will be held in the Miami-Dade County Jail until he's extradited to Seattle.
The arrest could mark the end of a 10-year investigation that yielded few clues and no real suspects. Traces of the killerís DNA were submitted to the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab in early 2002, but no matches were found. Police finally found a match last month from a new entry in the Florida felon database. Mezquia had been recently convicted of a felony. Police say he has a history of assaults and sexual attacks on women.
Zapata and her band, The Gits, were considered an up-and-coming punk-rock band in the early 1990s when Seattle was the focus of the pop-music world. Her body was found dumped on a dead-end street in Seattle's Central Area on July 7, 1993.

01/10/03: SUV Drivers Help Terrorists?
By Gina Keating
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A new front opened in the U.S. "War on Terror" on Wednesday as newspaper columnist Arianna Huffington and three Hollywood pals launched a TV ad campaign to stop Americans from driving SUVs because the gas-guzzling cars inadvertently aid the country's enemies.
In two spots scheduled to begin running on Sunday, Huffington and friends, collectively known as The Detroit Project, plant the idea that driving the mammoth and hot-selling vehicles is unpatriotic.
The ads, which will appear through Friday in New York, Los Angeles, Detroit and Washington D.C., parody the government's public service campaign against drug-sponsored terrorism, and aim to kindle public demand for tougher fuel efficiency.
"The goal of the campaign is not to demonize people who drive SUVs," Huffington said. "We want to point out how our driving habits at home are fueling oil money to Saudi Arabia."
One spot features a hapless SUV driver named "George" pumping gas into his vehicle while an oil company executive steps into a limousine and a group of turban-wearing soldiers fire automatic rifles into the air.
"This is George," a child says in a sing-song voice. "This is the gas that George bought for his SUV. This is the oil company executive that sold the gas that George bought for his SUV. These are the countries where the executive bought the oil, that made the gas that George bought for his SUV. And these are the terrorists who get money from those countries every time George fills up his SUV."
"Oil money supports some terrible things. What kind of mileage does your SUV get?" the ad concludes.
In a series of close-ups, the second ad explores the purported consequences of buying foreign oil, juxtaposed with excuses people make for buying SUVs: "I helped hijack an airplane." "I like to sit up high." "I helped blow up a nightclub." "It makes me feel safe." "I sent our soldiers off to war."
"What is your SUV doing to national security?" it asks. "Detroit, America needs hybrid cars now."
Disney-owned ABC-TV affiliates in New York and Los Angeles have refused to air the ads because they are too controversial, Huffington said. The spots appear Sunday on network stations and for the rest of the week on cable TV news channels.
Huffington planted the seeds for The Detroit Project in her column in October by fantasizing about a people's ad campaign taking the government to task for failing to pass tougher fuel efficiency standards while waging war to protect cheap oil.
Readers flooded her "in" basket with more than 5,000 letters by the next morning, asking where to send money for the mythical campaign. Within three weeks she had raised $200,000 to paid for a week of airtime and production of the ads. Huffington recruited her hiking pal Laurie David, who had convinced her to swap her 13 mpg Lincoln Navigator for a 50 mpg Toyota Prius, and film producer Lawrence Bender and talent agent Ari Emanuel to guide the spots through production.
Although they had budgeted $50,000 to produce the spots, written by "Got Milk?" creator Scott Burns, most of the costs were waived when people learned about the project, Burns said.
The Detroit Project founders said plans to expand the campaign to more cities or to make new ads must wait on the public's response -- and their money.
"Some people will thing we went too far. I personally wanted to be very confrontational," Bender said. "September 11 was very confrontational."

01/10/03: Army SmarTruck II Ready for Action
Story Filed:1/7/03 05:00 pm
A modified Chevrolet Silverado platform fitted with modules of counterterrorism equipment just might be the next big thing for homeland security.
"SmarTruck II is engineered to meet the nontraditional challenges of today's military," said Dennis Wend, executive director of the Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command's National Automotive Center (NAC). "It provides built-in flexibility and offensive capability [for a variety of situations]."
The jet black prototype SmarTruck II unveiled at the North American International Auto Show didn't much look like a Silverado pickup truck.
Rather than the usual two axles, the SmarTruck II has three, and all six wheels drive the vehicle all the time.
This is key to the SmarTruck II's appeal, Wend said. The modification gives the SmarTruck II a 5-ton payload, so it can carry a bevy of counterterrorism equipment, much of it packaged in armored, self-contained stainless steel modules. The modules can be swapped out for other non-terrorism-related modules when needed.
For example, the SmarTruck II could carry water purification systems on disaster relief missions and communication systems for surveillance missions.
The flexibility could allow many government agencies-from FEMA to the FBI to the military-to share the vehicle, Wend said. "You won't need to have unique trucks with installed equipment; you can just have the modules [stationed] around the United States [ready for use when needed]."
The SmarTruck II on the show floor was clearly armed for military duty. The vehicle was fitted with a guided missile launcher that has a two-mile range and a launcher for a remote-controlled Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV).
Other features: A night vision system, a high-power (50X) zoom video system with thermal imaging and surveillance radar, 360-degree cameras including one under the vehicle to help the driver prevent undercarriage damage when driving off road, and a 12,000-pound, straight-line hydraulic towing winch.
Tires are run-flats, and the grille is covered by a large metal brush guard that's bullet-resistant to keep small armaments from puncturing the engine block.
Wend said the SmarTruck II evolved out of SmarTruck I, which was unveiled at the auto show a year ago. Testing on the SmarTruck II will begin shortly, and NAC officials hope to find interested customers wanting to buy.
But there's a hefty price premium for this kind of Silverado. Wend said it would cost $75,000 to $100,000 just for the modified chassis with six-wheel-drive system and some kind of on-board communications system.
December 21, 2002
Detroit, Michigan
A new website offering free email addresses ending in "fuckthewar.com" has been officially launched, its organizers say.
According to the site's creators, the intent of www.fuckthewar.com is to offer a rallying point for people opposed to the United States' likely offensive against Iraq, and a highly visible means for individuals opposed to the war to communicate their discontent.
"We feel that the United States is about to embark on a foolish, costly campaign against a paper-tiger dictator," says fuckthewar.com spokesman David Livingstone. "In our opinion, this war amounts to nothing more than a neo-colonialist gambit by George W. Bush. There seems to be no length he will not go to in order to distract people from the disastrous social effects of his domestic policy and to secure the free flow of petroleum dollars into the pockets of his energy industry pals.
"We believe that a great many Americans oppose this unilateral action against Iraq, not to mention people the world over. To this point, the media have largely gone along with the administration, but if enough of us are visible, both the media and the government will have to take notice."
The site is created by OrwellMedia, Livingstone's public relations and communications firm.
Media representatives desiring further information are invited to contact the site's organizers at (313) 320 2820, or via email at www.orwellmedia.com.

12/13/02: Secret Service Agents Question Student About Anti-Bush Shirt
(from) WHIO-TV, NEWSCENTER 7
Secret Service Agents question a Bellbrook High School student for wearing a controversial t-shirt.
The shirt has a picture of President Bush on it and the words, "not my president." The picture also showed cross-hairs on the Bush's forehead.
Because this issue is so sensitive, even we don't know the students name.
But we can tell you this whole thing was brought to the attention of school administrators after two students came forward and complained.
According to the Assistant Principal, the student had worn it before and the shirt didn't cause any problems until cross hairs appeared on the President's forehead.
The Assistant Principal confiscated the shirt, called the FBI and agents then called the secret service.
From that point, the Secret Service took over the investigation and met with the student and essentially treated the situation as a potential threat on the president.
There are more than 800 students at Bellbrook High School and the Assistant Principal says they're all good kids, but he's especially proud of two of them.
The Assistant Principal states that he is proud of the two students who brought the issue to the attention of the school administration.

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) Health Benefits
Ashwagandha's health benefits are derived from a complex set of active constituents, mainly alkaloids and withanolides (steroidal lactones). As Ashwagandha's botanical name (Withania somnifera) implies, Withanolides are relatively unique to the genus Withania of this herb (whose species is Somnifera). In addition, Ashwagandha contains Alkaloids, which are an active constituent category found in many botanicals.
Some manufacturers use the leaves (or leaves and roots) of Ashwagandha in their extracts. However, Ayurveda dictates that the leaf-extract is only to be used for occasional external, topical use or internally only when the leaf's cytotoxic Withaferin A is warranted. On the other hand, root-based Ashwagandha extract is recommended for internal use when the goal is to enjoy the desired adaptogenic and general health-enhancement benefits. The majority of Ashwagandha clinical trials are based on the use of root-based extracts, and only root-based Ashwagandha extracts are listed in the Indian Pharmacopoeia, the British Pharmacopoeia and the U.S. Pharmacopoeia.

- Supports the body's ability to adapt
- Supports healthy immune system
- Supports wellness

Star, NC -- Montgomery County deputies arrested a man and woman Wednesday on several drug charges.
Officers began investigating Roderick Eldon House, 38, and Cindy Mae Williams, 37, on March 1.
Deputies seized several bags of marijuana and cocaine packaged for sale. They also found pills, scales, bags and a "large sum of cash."
After the investigations, deputies arrested and charged both suspects with felony possession of marijuana; felony manufacturing of cocaine; felony possession of cocaine; felony maintaining a dwelling; possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine and marijuana; and trafficking in opium by possession.
House was released from federal prison in 2010 after serving 12 years for conspiracy to distribute cocaine base.
Bond is being held in the Montgomery County jail under a $250,000 secured bond, and Williams is being held under a $100,000 secured bond.
The two will appear in court March 26.
