Assos T FI.Mille_s5 regularLeg Bib Shorts $0.00
Seeing as the FI.Mille A.360 bib shorts stood as one of Assos' most popular designs for nearly a decade, the Swiss apparel designer wanted to keep the same fit and technical features alive and well for the revamped version. That's exactly the case with the new T FI.Mille_s5 regularLeg Bib Shorts, as they stand in as Assos' go-to shorts for maximum long-distance comfort. After all, they earned the "long distance shorts" nickname for good reason — delivering the ultimate in both protection and support over the long haul.
The long distance aspect arose out of two key characteristics: First off, the T FI.Mille_s5 provides more stretch and less compression than the FI.13_s5. This is due to the fabric selection, the cutting lines of the fabric, and the number of total panels of fabric. And while the added stretch and malleability of the fabric provides less muscle compression than the FI.13, it moves with a silken closeness to your body as you pedal. If you've ever ridden for six hours at a clip, you know how much little things matter, and this is one of those comfort details that you'll appreciate.
The T FI.Mille_s5 makes strategic use of A430 fabric to wick sweat away from your body, keeping you cool and comfortable during your longest training rides. In addition to this, it's built with the same AEPD cut as the FI.13_s5, meaning that it "clicks" into place on your body when you're reaching for the bars. The added stretch of the T FI.Mille_s5 gives it a perceptible level of comfort. Bigger riders will appreciate how the T FI.Mille_s5 fabric stretches laterally on the body with greater ease than the FI.13_s5.
The other long distance characteristic of the T FI.Mille_s5 is its chamois. Like the FI.13_s5, the chamois is curved to perfectly fit your body, and it has a cut at the front of the insert to reduce pressure at the perineum. Additionally, it has the same softness and heat-ventilation dimples of the FI.13 chamois. What gives the T FI.Mille_s5 chamois its long distance designation, however, is the fact that it's a bit bigger in surface area than the FI.13. It also stretches less than the FI.13, and it has a stabilizer built into the chamois that causes it to move less during your pedal stroke.
The Assos T FI.Mille_s5 regularLeg Bib Shorts are available in six sizes from Small to TIR and in the color Black. Please Note: Assos now makes these bib shorts in a long and regular leg length. This is the regular version, which is 4cm shorter than the longLeg.

Great Bib shorts
Since buying my first pair of assos bib shorts I've been a loyal fan. Got these at a great price so I picked up a total of 3 pairs. I'm 5'10" 200-205 and L fits perfect. Looking forward to receiving T Campionissmo S7 bib shorts I just ordered.
Made me downsize the wardrobe...
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I hate to admit it, but I'm an Assos convert now. I started with the s7 neoPro and absolutely loved them. Saw these and couldn't pass up the offer at the price. The first ride was 75 miles, and these felt so great I rode in them again the next day! Any complaint I've had about my other bib shorts I do not have in these... I just wish I would have believed the hype a long time ago and then I wouldn't be stuck thinning out the kit drawer... 5'9", 195 pounds and a L fits perfect.
Get 'em while they're "cheap"
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Yup, could not even tell I had rode 45 miles having worn these. The chamois felt like, well, some wondrous combination of suede, velvet and felt all mixed into one luxurious pelvic experience...get 'em and invest in something nice for yourself. you put in all the hard work riding, shouldn't your apparel? And at $215 they are relatively cheap compared to other Assos offerings but it's worth it and plus, you can register your specific pair of Mille bibs on their website and if anything ever goes wrong with them send them back for a replacement. Talk about warranty!
Expensive for a reason..
Assos makes some incredible cycling gear. While I think some of it is ridiculously priced, and therefore I will never be able to purchase any unless it were marked down 85% (cough cough CC) the Mille is the most comfortable bib I've had the pleasure of using. I wear mine while riding my mountain bike now, with some equally expensive MTB baggies over them, and I forget that I'm even riding my bike. Hard to go wrong with these, especially at the current discount. I can only imagine how awesome the new S7s will be.
best bibs ever
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
There's a reason Assos is so well regarded. After going with Pearl Izumi again when renewing my bibs I was disappointed with the new leader pro's and tried Assos. SOOO much better. Better fabric, seams, cut and much better chamois.

Higuaín and Ronaldo put Madrid ahead early on and Barça played with 10 men for more than an hour after Adriano was sent off
Messi brought Barça back into the tie with a superb free kick just before the break
Pedro, Alba, Montoya and Messi all came close to getting the goal that would have meant Barça retained their title
Barça lost the Spanish Super Cup in Madrid by the narrowest of margins after they were defeated 2-1 and with the 3-2 win in the Camp Nou last week lost on the away goals rule. The team could walk away with their heads high though, as they came back from a poor start, finding themselves two down and with just ten men within the first half hour. Adriano's red was a tough blow, but Messi's goal at the end of the half brought Tito Vilanova's team right back into the tie.
The Madrid crowd were made to suffer despite their team playing the last hour with that one man advantage, as Barça's ten men then put in a great second half, with chances for Pedro, Alba, Montoya and in the dying seconds, Messi, whose shot went inches wide.
Bright start from the hosts
Right from the off, Madrid went for the goal which would bring the tie level and Valdes was soon in action, making a superb stop from Higuain on six minutes. However, there was nothing he could do five minutes later, as the Madrid striker pounced on a mistake in the Barça defence to fire under the keeper. Barça were looking unusually shaky at the back and Madrid did their best to take advantage with deep through balls to exploit their forwards' pace, with Cristiano Ronaldo in particular finding space to score on 18 minutes and then force Adriano's expulsion in a similar move ten minutes later.
Valdés and Messi prove decisive
After just 30 minutes, Madrid looked to have the game in the bag – two up and playing against ten men as they laid siege to Valdés' goal, but the keeper was brilliant in keeping out the hosts' attackers and Barça gradually began to find their feet and begin to get closer to Casillas' goal . Montoya – who had been left out of the squad, then come in on the bench after Alves' injury in the warm up and finally brought on once Adriano had been sent off – was the first to really threaten the Madrid goal on 37 minutes.
The second chance fell to Messi, just before the break and the Argentinean fired home a lovely free kick from 25 yards out, swerving it round the wall and to Casillas' left to stun the Bernabeu and give Tito's side a glimmer of hope for the second half.
Domination, but no goal
If Madrid had dominated in the first half, it was a different story after the break, as Barça held onto the ball and kept Madrid caged up in their own half. Pedro came agonisingly close on two occasions, using his speed to cut in from the wing, then both full backs -–Jordi Alba and Montoya- both came close, whilst it fell to Messi in the final seconds of injury time to so nearly win the tie, only for his shot to go just wide as the Bernabeu crowd held their hearts in their mouths. In the end though, the Madrid fans celebrated the final whistle as their team took the trophy despite Barça's brave effort.

Hemi Engine - Retooling - Hemi Cuda, Part IWritten by Marlan Davis on January 1, 1999
Chrysler's Hemicars were the stuff legends are made of. Their performance was awesome, but their unit volume was relatively low for an industry that measures production quantities in the tens of thousands. Among the rarest of the rare was the '71 Hemi 'Cuda. With just 107 hardtops and seven convertibles made, by now normal attrition has culled the ranks to a few hearty survivors. It should come as no surprise that buying and restoring an original factory '71 Hemi 'Cuda can set you back in the neighborhood of $70,000, so only a fortunate few will ever be able to own an actual production example.
One obvious alternative to the real thing is "cloning." Start with a plain-vanilla version of the same make and model, then swap in the high-perf drive-train. Unfortunately, Hemi engines have been long out of production, and even if a car crafter could locate a decent $7,000 used Hemi, mounting the big "Elephant" Engine requires a unique "K-member" (Mopar jargon for the front engine-support crossmember)--also long discontinued (figure $1,600, if you can find one). For a while, it seemed as if the only way the average car crafter could hope to see a Hemi was on the racetrack or in a museum.
Recently that's all changed, thanks to Mopar Performance (MP), Chrysler's performance parts program. MP has made practical what was once impractical, by retooling all the parts necessary to build up a Hemi engine and making them available through MP dealers. Besides casting reproduction-style blocks with original-configuration Hemi engine mounts, MP also offers a new casting with Mopar big-block wedge-engine (B-motor) mount pads that can bolt up to any standard V-8 K-member.
Presto! Hemi cloning is now a viable possibility, and to prove it Car Craft will be following along as Petersen Publishing employee Brit White's '71 383 'Cuda evolves into a modern-day Hemi monster. The plan is to retain the good looks and appeal of the classic musclecar but, because the clone isn't a "priceless" original, enhance it with '90s-style engine-technology upgrades and handling improvements. This month we'll take a look at MP's Hemi parts offerings as Dick Landy Industries puts together a modern Elephant that'll run rings around the original. In the following months, we'll visit the Mopar E-body resto specialists at Ultimate Rides in El Paso, Texas, and watch as they drop in the engine, upgrade the drivetrain, and modernize the suspension. Finally, we'll come back with a complete track test on the finished car.

Even with improved parts, there's still no substitute for meticulous engine assembly. Here, Dick Landy torques the aluminum heads in three careful increments (45, 60, and 75 ft-lbs).Original-style Hemi blocks (PN P4529850) have unique engine mounts that require a special hard-to-find Hemi K-member.However, the new blocks (PN P4529852) have B-engine motor-mount ears, enabling them to bolt to standard V-8 crossmembers using standard B-engine insulators and brackets.Made by Wiseco for MP, the new-generation 10.25:1 street-Hemi piston uses full-floating 1031 steel pins retained by bulletproof round-wire retainers and accepts 5/64-5/64-3/16 rings. Because the new MP Hemi rods weren't yet available, this engine uses Manley "ready-to-run" 4340 billet steel capscrew rods.For street engines, Dick Landy recommends MP tri-metal bearings; the mains feature "medium-size" full grooves. MP has also retooled the hard-to-find real seal retainer.Milodon's low-profile oil pan fits B- and E-bodies (Charger/Road Runner and Barracuda/Challenger, respectively); and holds seven quarts of oil, one quart more than stock. Milodon also offers a louvered windage tray, but the dipstick, tube, and oil filter are MP items.
Each 170cc chamber head (PN P4529336) features a single plug per cylinder, valve seats, and guide inserts redesigned for better sealing and superior retention on ported heads. Cast-iron heads are also back in production.Hemi balancers, from left: discontinued stock street Hemi, SFI-legal street Hemi replacement (PN P5249699) used on White's engine, and ultimate race Fluidampr (PN P4452776). The MP replacement is compatible with stock pulleys; custom pulleys are needed with the Fluidampr.Although still very streetable, Mopar's hydraulic flat-tappet "mild competition" cam is worth about 15 hp over the original street-Hemi cam. Install it on 106-degree intake centerline using MP degree bushings. MP supplied the pushrods, double-roller timing chain, and chrome Hemi front timing cover too.With only 5/16-inch stems, the huge Hemi 2.25-inch intake/1.94-inch exhaust valves really benefit from friction-reducing roller rocker-arms. Combined with modern valve-stem seals pirated from late Magnum V-8 engines, these Dick Landy-developed MP stainless-steel roller rockers help cut valve-guide wear.The bane of old Hemis--fouled spark plugs--becomes ancient history with a modern electronic ignition system. On White's engine, an MP breakerless magnetic-impulse distributor with vacuum advance (PN P3690432) is used in conjunction with an MSD-6AL box with an integral rev-limiter and a Blaster coil.

|Supt. Entry Plan defines goals and action
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Providing assurance of his intent to become familiar with Holyoke School District Re-1J, new Supt. Bret Miles outlined his Superintendent's Entry Plan at a work session following the board's regular meeting July 7.
Miles explained his plan for establishing working relationships, gathering information, creating avenues for shared leadership, familiarizing himself with district procedures and beginning the assessment of the district for the board.
This plan is a fluid document that is subject to change throughout the year, Miles told the board. It is his intent to give a report to the board as to the progress of the entry plan once a month. Goals are outlined in timeliness, some to be met in July-December and others January-June.
Miles was quick to point out to the board this plan is not just for him, but to help build teams in the district. He added he is certainly open to input.
Individual interviews with board members, administrators, classified and licensed staff, parents, taxpayers and business leaders will be part of Miles' general goals in order to learn first-hand the perspectives of the district.
He plans a regular report to the board as to how many interviews have been conducted, and hopes to have met with all board members, staff, accountability committee members and community leaders by the end of December.
Miles emphasized his recognition of the importance of getting to know the district and community, and sees the interviews as the first step in building relationships.
Shared leadership is cited in Supt. Miles' Entry Plan. His focus is to build trust and develop working relationships necessary for achieving excellence.
Four teams are proposed by Miles: leadership team, standard of excellence team, budget and facilities committee and superintendent's advisory committee. Inclusion of a couple of community members, as well as two board members on each team was highlighted.
Miles proposed to continue the existing leadership team for curriculum and professional development. Purpose of the standard of excellence team will be to collectively determine a measuring stick for performance in the district and to monitor progress.
The budget and facilities committee will be concerned with long-term planning. Miles sees the addition of two or three community members as an asset. Purpose of this group will be to provide a conduit for two-way communication between the board and the school-community with regard to maintenance and long-term planning related to facilities and grounds.
Intent of the superintendent's advisory committee is to create easy access to the superintendent for direct questions and answers. Miles noted it will give people a direction to go if they think certain policies need to be looked at. This committee will include one teacher and one classified employee from the elementary, middle and high schools, plus two other district-wide employees.
Board response to the Entry Plan was positive. With regard to the evaluation process of the superintendent, Miles said if the board's pleased with the current evaluation instrument and it's working, there's no need to recreate another. In the measurement of success, Miles said he would like to see the superintendent evaluation tied as closely as possible to the work they want to get done in the district.
Board member Dan Kafka liked the idea, in particular, of opening up the budget and facilities committee to a couple of community members. He asked how members would be selected in order not to offend anyone if they're not chosen.
Specific board policy will be reviewed and followed, with selection preference being at the discretion of the board and appointments made by the board president. All community members will be encouraged to follow the activity of any group or committee.
Board president Kendon Olofson said he'd like to see board members on these teams. Linda Jelden added the investment of time will be worth it.
Miles would like to have much of the entry plan timelines and proposals in place by opening day of this school year. For the plan's success, some sort of summary will be reported at board meetings and placed on the web site, as well.
Information gathered through the Superintendent's Entry Plan will be key for an overall evaluation of the district. Additionally, the evaluation objective is to provide the district with information as to strengths and areas for growth. This can be used for prioritizing resources and solving issues important to the employees.
A board retreat for building the board-superintendent relationship is scheduled Tuesday, July 21 at 5:30 p.m. in the school administration office.

CULPEPER, Va. (WUSA) -- Jury selection is underway in the murder trial of former Culpeper police officer Daniel Harmon-Wright. He arrived at Culpeper County Circuit Court on Tuesday morning to stand trial in the death of Patricia "Patty" Ann Cook.
Harmon-Wright is accused of shooting Cook on Feb. 9, 2012 after responding to the report of a suspicious vehicle in a church parking lot. Cook was unarmed at the time of her death, and according to evidence she was shot seven times. Prosecutor Jim Fisher says that the first two shots at close range were non-fatal. He says the next five shots that Harmon-Wright fired at Cook's Jeep Wrangler as she tried to drive away were fatal.
The incident shocked many people in the community and others came forward with their own allegations about the police officer. One family claimed Harmon-Wright and another officer entered their home with guns drawn after following their son in relation to a suspicious person report in 2011. They allegedly searched the home without a warrant. Culpeper Captain Ricky Pinksaw wrote in a letter of reprimand: "It is apparent that excessive force was utilized" and that the son "only in the in the best light was truant from school."
Captain Pinksaw told Harmon-Wright that "our conversation about the details of the case will serve as a Counseling Session and will serve as the final disposition of this investigation."
A month after the letter, Patricia Ann Cook was killed.
He was fired from the police department in June 2012 after his indictment.
Harmon-Wright is charged with murder, malicious shooting into an occupied vehicle, malicious shooting into an occupied vehicle resulting in a death, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
Harmon-Wright's mother, Bethany Ann Parr of Orange, is scheduled to go to trial in April for forgery. She is accused of trying to purge her son's negative personnel record when she worked at the Culpeper Police Department. The alleged forgery was found during a special grand jury investigation of the fatal shooting.
Patricia Cook's husband, Gary Cook, died in September 2012 of natural causes. Gary Cook had filed a $5.35 million wrongful death lawsuit in May against Harmon-Wright.

Current Projects
Concurrent Revisions: The Concurrent Revisions project introduces a novel programming model for concurrent and/or parallel applications. It provides programmers with a simple, yet powerful and efficient mechanism (based on mutable snapshots and deterministic conflict resolution) to execute various application tasks in parallel even if those tasks access the same data and may exhibit read-write or write-write conflicts.
There is an experimental Haskell implementation of concurrent revisions available too.
Koka is a function-oriented programming language with polymorphic effect inference. It is an experiment to see if effect inference can be used on larger scale programming. The language is strict (as in ML), but seperates pure values from side effecting computations (as in Haskell). Through the effect types, there is also a strong connection to its denotational semantics, where the effect type of each function has a direct translation to the type signature of the denotational function.
Try out koka live on the rise4fun website or look at the slides of a talk I gave at Lang.Next (April 2012)
| Fcp
|The Fcp project studies type inference for First-Class Polymorphism a la System-F. In this project two inference systems are proposed, called HMF and HML which both occupy extremes in the design space of type inference for System-F.
Past Projects
I am the principal designer and developer of wxHaskell. The goal of the project is to provide an industrial strength GUI library for Haskell, but without the burden of developing (and maintaining) one ourselves. wxHaskell is therefore build on top of
wxWidgets — a comprehensive C++ library that is portable across all major GUI platforms; including GTK, Windows, X11, and MacOS X. Furthermore, it is a mature library (in development since 1992) that supports a wide range of widgets with the native look-and-feel, and it has a very active community (ranked among the top 25 most active projects on sourceforge).
Parsec is a free monadic parser combinator library for Haskell. Allthough combinator parsing is well known in literature, most libraries are only implemented for personal use or for small research examples. Parsec is designed from scratch as an industrial-strength parser library.
PPrint is an implementation of the pretty printing combinators described by Philip Wadler [paper]. In their bare essence, the combinators of Wadler are not expressive enough to describe some commonly occurring layouts. The PPrint library adds new primitives to describe these layouts and works well in practice.
[documentation (pdf), library (zip)]
DData is a library of efficient data structures and algorithms for Haskell. I noticed that I used these data structures (and algorithms) a lot but surprisingly, there are not many "off the shelf" libraries available – so, I documented and extended my personal libraries and made them available. The modules are implemented to be easy to use (just import it), efficient (use balanced trees) and fairly complete (lots of operations) and I hope you find them useful for your own projects too. DData is now part of the standard haskell libraries, as Data.Map, Data.Set, Data.Bag, Data.IntMap, and Data.IntSet.

There are those of us who want a lightweight wheelset, but don't trust radial lacing or low spoke counts. These are probably the first people to look at the Hed Ardennes CL Clincher Wheelset. If you weigh 50kg, you're probably looking to put these wheels on your 29er. If you weigh 90kg, you probably shouldn't go this light for your daily miles, but race day might be a different story. Everyone else in the vast middle; it depends on your temperament, riding style, and roads (or lack thereof).
CL is short for Classic. It used to be called the Kermesse: either way, same idea. The wheelset takes the anodized and machined C2 rim of the Ardennes LT, and mates it to flanged Sonic hubs via 24 spokes in the front and 28 in the rear. This is a daily wheel, a cyclocross wheel, something that is designed to roll well and take a pounding.
Making a rim 23mm wide and 25mm deep when most rims are around 19mm wide and 19-23mm deep is a big difference. The reason for the greater width is because of 23mm tires, the minimum tire width you almost always should be using on the road (there are 22mm clinchers; these will work, too). A 23mm rim paired with a 23mm tire changes the tire's footprint. It grips better in a straight line, and it grips better in turns because the tire deforms differently and more evenly. A 23mm tire on a 23mm rim also has lower rolling resistance..
The flanged Sonic hubs run ABEC5 bearings on oversized axles, 12mm in front and 15mm in the rear. They spaced the flanges as widely as possible to create a stronger bracing angle, resulting in better lateral stiffness. The spokes are two-cross front and rear and have Sapim bladed spokes threaded to alloy nipples.
With the Hed Ardennes CL Clincher Wheelset, you choose between a Campagnolo-spline cassette body and a Shimano/SRAM-spline body. The wheels come with Hed's steel-shafted skewers and Hed's rim strip. Hed does not recommends this wheel for people weighing over 225lbs. Claimed weight for the set is 1642g.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
I've been riding high end bikes for about 40 years. Custom American, English, Italian and French bikes always with Campagnolo equipment. I have never written a review until now. The HED Ardennes wheelset is an absolute winner, from concept to execution. I always ride 25mm tires on daily rides because our local roads are rough, the better ones are chip sealed. I have gotten used to a degree of vibration and harshness and was willing to trade some performance to save by backside and wrists.
The first ride with the Ardennes was an eye opener. The feeling of confidence when cornering and the smoother ride quality were really a great improvement over my prior wheel set, with the same tires. I was riding with a young Cat 1, who I drafted all through the ride, on a familiar route. To my surprise we averaged a full 1mph faster than I have ever done that ride. The next day, on another route, the same improvement in average speed. Yesterday I repeated the first ride, but solo, and recorded the same average speed as when drafting.
My conclusion is that in addition to improving ride quality and cornering performance, the wider rim must reduce rolling resistance and/or aerodynamics. Whatever the engineering cause, the affect is the best riding set of wheels I have ever owned.

The feelgood story of the Aussie Open, Jelena Dokic's comeback, turned to heartbreak in Paris when the Aussie baller was forced to retire from her second round match against Elena Dementieva with a painful back injury.
JD had already won the first set and was up a break in the second. However, Elena won the next two games and she called it quits.
According to JD,
I went for a return and I just went down and couldn't get back up. It's very painful and very disappointing because I felt as if I had the match in my hands.
It was her first trip back to Roland Garros since 2004.
It must be so tough for JD since she was playing so well and seemed on her way to a huge upset. And with ALL that she has been through it seems unfair.
I hope she gets better soon.

I think the announcers should point out that this is hardly an elimination game; the loser still will get to the quarterfinals by winning a cross-over game.

Winner should get a first-round bye. Loser could, too, depending on the Finland/Sweden result.
If this game goes to OT they both should get byes I think. Finland could get bye without a win but I think Sweden is out if they don't win

Financial adviser recommends taking Lane off HP board
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A financial advising firm to groups making investments in companies has recommended that Hewlett-Packard shareholders vote against keeping Ray Lane as chairman of the company's executive board.
Institutional Shareholder Services recommended Monday that shareholders vote against keeping Lane as HP board chairman, and against keeping two other directors -- John Hammergren, chairman of the finance and investment committee, and G. Kennedy Thompson, chairman of the audit committee -- on the board.
Lane, who graduated from West Virginia University and currently sits on WVU's Board of Governors, has been the focus of widespread criticism, especially since Hewlett-Packard spent $11 billion to buy Autonomy Corp., a British software company. HP ended up losing more than $8 billion from the deal.
Last Friday, Michael Pryce-Jones, senior researcher for the CtW Investment Group, talked about a Feb. 25 meeting he participated in with Lane, three other HP board members and about 20 of HP's leading investors.
"Targeting Lane would only further trouble the company," Pryce-Jones said during a telephone interview with the Gazette on Friday.
On Tuesday, though, the CtW Investment Group said it welcomed the recommendation from ISS.
"The ISS recommendation adds enormous weight to the case for removing long-tenured Hewlett-Packard directors and finish the Board renewal," said Dieter Waizenegger, who was recently appointed CtW's executive director.
"Despite having unanimously approved the Autonomy deal, the board continues to try to sweep the debacle under the rug by blaming the mess on a previous CEO it appointed. The board must hold itself accountable, especially those directors who most clearly failed investors," Waizenegger said on Tuesday.
HP will hold its annual shareholders meeting on March 20.
CtW is part of the labor coalition Change to Win, whose pension funds include about 7.8 million shares of HP stock, about 6.9 percent of the company's stock.
The ISS report released on Monday night stated a vote against Hammergen, Thompson and Lane is warranted for "failure to apply oversight of the due diligence process in connection with the Autonomy acquisition."
Since last year's shareholders' meeting, HP has announced about $17 billion in losses due to past acquisitions, including $8.8 billion from its acquisition of Autonomy in 2011, according to ISS.
ISS and the CtW Investment Group also want HP to terminate its contract with Ernst & Young, the company's current auditing firm.

I would like to turn a number into a string using a comma as a thousands separator. Something like:
x = 120501231.21;
str = sprintf('%0.0f', x);
but with the effect
str = '120,501,231.21'
If the built-in
sprintf can't do it, I imagine cool solution could be made using regular expressions, perhaps by calling Java (which I assume has some locale-based formatter), or with a basic string-insertion operation. However, I'm not an expert in either Matlab regexp's or calling Java from Matlab.
Related question: How can I print a float with thousands separators in Python?
Is there any established way to do this in Matlab?

Ultimate AV Home Has 43 Speakers, 26 TVs and 17 iPads
Blending the needs of high-end audio and video everywhere required some networking derring-do.
It usually doesn't work this way, but in this house she insisted on the great audio speakers. He just wanted TVs for video in every room.
The result in this three-building, 8-acre spread? Fifty zones of audio, 26 zones of video, 16 zones of HVAC to stay comfy while enjoying all that media, and 1,200 lighting loads—all controlled by an Apple-based Savant home automation system with on-screen control on all 26 TVs and 17 iPads. There are even special buttons to help a mother-in-law and to keep track of an autistic nephew who visits often. First the audio. The killer sounds the lady of the house wanted are delivered by 43 Meridian digital speakers. Each speaker contains its own amplifier, allowing the signal to remain digitally pure right to the speaker location.
The husband does not like watching TV with the sound coming through in-ceiling speakers, so in some rooms two separate audio zones are utilized. The family also wanted the speakers hidden, so some cool customization was in order. In the kitchen, TV sound is routed through two Live-Wall speakers near the TV and concealed in the wall behind a thin coat of plaster. There are also two Bay Audio subwoofers custom built into the islands, with grilles for the bass near the bottom. The gym features six audio zones alone: Meridian ceiling speakers, headphones for three Runco 26-inch TVs, and a 55-inch TV paired with Meridian DSP5200 speakers. In the billiards room every speaker was custom faux-painted, and for the outside area Leon soundbars match the moldings on the poolhouse and pergola.
Switching the audio to different speakers for music and TV required some programming of the Savant system, which initially experienced some hiccups due to the size of this home system. But Savant released an early version of its upgraded software to home technology installation company Home Theater of Long Island (HTOLI) in Manhasset, N.Y., to remedy the problem.
For future-proofing, each TV is fed a signal via fiber-optic cabling, rather than Ethernet wiring. "They consider this their last house, and one of the things we realized when we had the budget is that [Ethernet] cable can always have issues, while the potential of fiber is limitless," says Kaloma Smith, managing director of HTOLI. "This house is less about technology and more about meeting their lifestyle." They just want it to work when they need it to, and produce beautiful audio and video.
For example, the programmers knew where the mother-in-law would be most often, so on some lighting touchpads mom buttons light her way back to her room. And when an autistic nephew visits, the family uses a john button that makes the system easy for him to use and keeps track of his whereabouts. If he ventures outside, an alert sounds through all speakers in the home, and the TVs show a camera feed of where he is. The same happens when someone arrives at the front gate.
But perhaps the biggest technical tour de force in this home is the basement theater space, decked in dark woods and Meridian speakers (see sidebar), plus Meridian's three-chip MF10 D-ILA (Direct-drive Image Light Amplification) projector and Stewart CineCurve CinemaScopewide screen. Processing comes from Meridian's superb 861 Reference Surround Processor, and sources include Kaleidescape's video server and Meridian's 800 Reference DVD player. For power protection, all electrical panels are equipped with Eaton surge protectors, and the owners receive an email each week when the generator is tested.

|Hughes promotes U.S. worldwide
|Written by Russ Pankonin, The Imperial Republican
When it comes to talking wheat, the Hughes family name remains one of those names synonymous with wheat production in southwest Nebraska.
And like family before him, Chase County, Neb. farmer Dan Hughes of Venango, Neb. continues to promote wheat production, both in the U.S. and abroad.
In early December, Hughes traveled to Abu Dhabi in United Arab Emirates to extol the virtues of all U.S. varieties of wheat to the International Association of Operative Millers.
The conference drew many African and Middle Eastern wheat buyers, he noted.
Hughes said people would be surprised at the amount of U.S. wheat consumed in those countries. In fact, Egypt represents the largest buyer of U.S. wheat in that region.
They use it for a flat-bread product, which is then provided to the citizenry by the government.
Hughes travels on behalf of U.S. Wheat Associates and presently serves as vice-chair of the national entity.
For the past seven years, Hughes has served on the board of directors of the Nebraska Wheat Board. The wheat board is the entity that administers wheat check-off funds in Nebraska.
On Oct. 1, 2012, state law changed how the check-off is collected. The new formula calls for collecting 4/10ths of 1 percent of the per-bushel price at which the wheat is sold.
Funds from the check-off are used to promote wheat both domestically and internationally.
Become chair in July
As one of four officers of U.S. Wheat Associates, Hughes represents a 19-state region of wheat-growing states who elected him for the position.
He serves as the vice-chair and will become chair of the board in July, 2013.
U.S. Wheat Associates promotes all of the six different classes of wheat grown, including winter and spring varieties of red, white and durum.
When stumping for U.S. wheat, Hughes' mission is to assure the quality of the product, the availability of stable supplies and price transparency.
Hughes touts the fact that the U.S. does not use wheat as an embargo tool when sanctioning countries.
Dan Hughes, pictured at right, made a presentation on the U.S. 2012 wheat crop to an international millers conference in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates in early December.
In addition, U.S. contract law governs the sale of wheat and insures buyers they are protected.
He also promotes the quality of the product which is maintained by strict grading standards.
He said these standards of quality also insure the buyer that the U.S. product will meet or exceed the buyer's specifications.
His job is to convince buyers that U.S. wheat is the best product in the market for their needs.
Hughes served on a panel at the conference, updating buyers on the quality of the 2012 crop.
During his time with U.S. Wheat Associates, he has traveled to South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Peru, Colombia and Ecuador on behalf of American producers.
U.S. largest wheat exporter
While the U.S. remains the largest exporter of wheat, China and India are the largest producers of wheat. However much of their production is consumed domestically.
Presently, Mexico and Japan represent the biggest buyers of American wheat.
The Mexican-based Bimbo is the largest baker in the U.S. and the world. In 2010, they acquired the baker, Sara Lee.
Nebraska ranks around 10th in wheat production in the U.S. with Kansas and North Dakota at the top.
Hughes also works to protect wheat domestically.
Wheat has come under increased pressure on gluten-free and dietary issues.
Granted, some people are allergic to gluten, a protein found in wheat-based foods, Hughes noted.
But some food writers and authors promote that wheat in the diet leads to obesity and should be totally removed from the diet.
However, research by the U.S. Wheat Foods Council indicates that wheat-based foods are not a factor in obesity in the U.S.
Wheat consumption per capita in the U.S. is down 16 pounds since 1997 while obesity continues to climb.
The Council noted the French eat almost twice as much wheat as Americans (110 kg per capita compared to 60 kg in the U.S.) and have an obesity rate of 17 percent compared to our 36 percent. Italians eat three times as much wheat (148 kg per capita) and have a 9 percent obesity rate.
"It is a stretch to blame wheat for the obesity epidemic in the country," said Judi Adams, MS, RD with the Wheat Foods Council.
U.S. Wheat Associates also arranges foreign trade missions to the U.S. so buyers can see where their wheat comes from, and how.
That creates a person-to-person relationship that is beneficial down the road, Hughes noted.
While on his visit to Abu Dhabi, he saw a member of a Yemen trade mission that came to Nebraska several years ago.
During the Yemen trip, Ellen Leibbrandt, an intern for the Nebraska Wheat Board, helped coordinate their activities in Nebraska.
The man remembered Leibbrandt well. Hughes was proud to tell him that she is now his daughter-in-law, married to his son, Tyler, who has returned to join the family farming operation.

Chevrolet Impala vs. Pontiac CatalinaWritten by on January 9, 2014 Faceoff on Woodward Avenue
Historians agree that 1963 was the last year fullsize cars had the muscle segment all to themselves. Everything changed in 1964, when the midsize GTO and the Mustang set the stage for the future of muscle and pony cars. These new cars were smaller, lighter, and faster but also had tons of youthful muscle car image.
The two cars featured here, a Chevrolet Impala SS with a 340hp 409 and a Pontiac Catalina with Ventura trim powered by a 370hp 421, were GM's top street performance cars for 1963. There was a strong demand within the growing muscle car cadre for high-torque, hydraulic-lifter engines such as these. Fitted with these engines, these cars were docile enough to be driven daily but offered enough horsepower for the occasional street race or trip to the dragstrip. Both the 421 and the 409 were available in higher horsepower ratings that year, but with those engines the owner had to deal with mechanical lifters and higher compression ratios.
Chevrolet had always been GM's entry-level car and reflected its low cost heritage. The Super Sport option first appeared in the '61 model as both an image builder and performance package. By the '63 model the image components were firmly established but the performance options were up to the buyer. Chevrolet offered a long list of engine options to suit anyone's taste.
On the Pontiac side of the house, Bunkie Knudsen provided a booster shot to the Pontiac line with the release of the fuel-injected Bonneville for 1957. Under his supervision, Pontiacs won the Daytona 500 and NHRA Super Stock title. It was one of the most dramatic transformations in automotive history that pushed a low-selling "librarian's car" to the top of the sales ranks. Always seen as a step up from a Chevrolet in status, now Pontiac was equal to or ahead of Chevrolet in many performance categories.
Steve Kott owns the Marlin Aqua '63 421 Catalina featured here. He found it in 1986 in Akron, Ohio, through a Hemmings ad. It went through a lengthy and meticulous frame-off restoration. It's a multiple Pontiac Oakland Club International award winner: in 2002 it scored 393/400, in 2004 it scored 392/400, and in 2013 it was awarded a perfect 400/400.
The Palomar Red '63 409 Impala is owned by Rich Gabriel, who purchased it from the original owner 18 years ago. He did a full frame-on restoration in 2005 and has driven it a lot since that time. Both cars are based in the Detroit area, and we were lucky enough to shoot them together on the legendary Woodward Avenue, where most likely cars such as these would have dueled wheel-to-wheel in 1963.

Engines: Chevrolet's engineers at the time, with an eye to the hot rod world, added chrome to all of their 409 engines. The 340hp version was fitted with a single-snorkel air cleaner. Under that air cleaner Chevrolet added a Rochester four-barrel, most commonly known as a "T-pot." This carb was also installed on the 250hp 327.Engines: Pontiac painted all the engines light blue, with no chrome accessories. Under the massive air cleaner are three Rochester carburetors with progressive linkage. All '63 GM products were fitted with alternators.Door Panels: In 1963, customers would have loved the elegant look of the door panels on these cars. Heat-stamped character lines, buttons, and foil made for an interesting mixture of textures and color. Both cars used the same armrest base with a color-keyed pad. They also used the same door handle and window cranks, though the Pontiac knobs are chrome while the Chevy's are black.Door Panels: Pontiac's only acknowledgement of the Ventura option is a small emblem on the door panel.Emblems: Both cars allowed their owners to impress friends at the local drive-in by proudly displaying the engine displacement. Chevrolet also used the side of the front fender for engine identification emblems. A 283- equipped car was fitted with a simple "V," to that Chevrolet's designers added the crossed flags to indicate one of the two available 327s. When the buyer selected any of the three optional 409s, an emblem with those numbers was added above the crossed flags.Emblems: Pontiac chose to display the 421 engine displacement with a front fender emblem that featured red inlaid numbers with a background of white and checkered flags.Wheels & Tires: Chevrolet's 409-optioned cars for 1963 were all fitted with 8.00x14 tires on 6-inch-wide steel wheels. The 8.00x14 was the largest tire available that year. Super Sport models included these unique three-bar spinner wheel covers, with an optional wire wheel cover available. Chevrolet offered sintered metallic brake linings as an option.Wheels & Tires: Pontiac's Catalina models all came standard with 14x6 inch steel wheels with a dog-dish hubcaps and 8.00x14 tires. Optional were these finned aluminum brake drums with eight-bolt wheels. Also optional were the 8.50x14 tires as seen here.
Interiors: Catalina hardtops were fitted with a cloth-covered bench seat as standard equipment. The Ventura option included tri-toned supple vinyl seat coverings and the option of adding bucket seats. A console was not available as an option in the Catalina. The bucket seats installed in both cars were identical except for the coverings. Pontiac's designers liberally used chrome-plated, die-cast trim on the instrument panel, while Chevrolet used lower-cost anodized aluminum. Factory shifters on both cars were made by Inland. Pontiac offered a Hurst shifter as an option, but Chevrolet did not. Like so many of the four-speed equipped Chevrolets of this era, it has an aftermarket Hurst shifter. In 1963, AM/FM radios were first offered in GM cars.Tachometers: Chevrolet added as standard equipment a beautifully integrated tachometer to all 409-optioned cars (except those with an automatic transmission). It was optional on all V-8s and featured a redline at 5,000 rpm (though on the solid-lifter 409s it redlined at 6,000 rpm).Tachometers: Located on the left side of the instrument panel, Pontiac's optional 7,000-rpm tachometer featured an easily adjustable redline.Rear Styling: Chevrolet designers introduced the trio of taillights in the '58 Impala and, with the exception of the '59, kept them as a highly identifiable design component. Base Impalas featured a plain matte-finish back panel, while the SS panel was engine turned. Similar to the front, the rear bumper is a three-piece unit with a large aluminum license plate panel.

128-Voice Synthesizer Module
A.The most notable feature of the Fantom-X's wonderful piano sound is that it uses memory lavishly--in fact, a massive total of 704 waveforms are used to create it. Stereo sampling technique is applied for each of the 88 notes to express even the slightest variations between the keys. In addition, each note incorporates four individual waveforms, providing four-stage velocity switching during playing.
This piano sound was the result of meticulous sound research. Our engineers devised the best sonic change in tone for each single note, and balanced that with the best sound resonance when multiple notes are played together. Ultimately, we believe this is "the best piano sound" for live stage and recording applications, one that responds well to all variations in playing dynamics and performance style.
We hope you visit your local music shop to play the Fantom-X-series, and experience its wonderful, distinctive piano sound (and to check out all of its other great features as well).

Pulau Una-Una is an extremely remote island adjacent to the Togean National Park in the Gulf of Tomini, in Central Sulawesi, close to Kadidiri island, a world famous dive site.
Una-Una was formed by the short, broad Colo Volcano, whose summit rises just 500 meters above sea level, with a 2 kilometer wide caldera. UnaUna is a lush and scenic island and is indeed a direct result of the Colo Volcano's eruption. One interesting by-product of the island's volcanic nature is that unlike the pure, white sands of the other islands in TominiGulf, Una-Una's beaches are a striking black.
Throughout history, only three eruptions have been recorded from Mount Colo, with two of them causing damage. In 1983, after over 80 years of dormancy, a powerful eruption burst from Mount Colo. Thick, yellow clouds rose 5 kilometres into the air, with volcanic ash reaching as far as East Kalimantan. Pyroclastic flows swept across the island, destroying everything in its path. Many settlements were completely devastated and hot clouds destroyed all plant species on the island. Only a narrow strip of vegetation and villages along the island's east coast remained undamaged.
Six months prior to the eruption, the volcano began to show activity, giving the island's residents the opportunity to be gradually evacuated to the surrounding islands. There were no casualties, and Mount Colo has not erupted since.
Una-Una remained uninhabited for some time, but after a few years, people gradually began returning to rebuild their lives. Initially, they only came to start agricultural production, but over time they once again began building homes. Although Colo volcano is still active and could erupt at any time, this did not dampen the desire of UnaUna's previous inhabitants to return home.
Several changes have taken place on the island since the eruption. As a sort of blessing in disguise,the volcanic ash and lava which covered UnaUna has created an island of extremely fertile soil. Additionally, its deer population has increased drastically to an estimated tens of times higher than before. The phenomenon may have possibly been caused by the demise of many deer predators. Island residents now raise elk for every day needs such as food and clothing.
Pulau Una Una has no accommodation of its own, or facilities of any kind, so it can only be visited on a day trip. There are, however, three cottages on Kadidiri, which is one of the closest islands to UnaUna, and the primary destination in the Togeans. All three of Kadidiri's bungalows have meals included in their daily rates, and also rent out diving and snorkelling equipment. There are no shops on the island, but basic needs, snacks and drinks are sold by the bungalows.There are no ATMs on Kadidiri; but bungalows do accept credit cards and cash payments in Rupiah, Dollars or Euro. For additional purchases, it is possible to catch a ride back to Wakai with boats from any of the resorts. Either that, or be sure to do any necessary shopping before leaving the mainland. Another point to bear in mind, is that there is no internet connection on the island, and almost no phone signal.Kadidiri Paradise offers neat, wooden bungalows of varying sizes and quality, all of which are meticulously maintained.Every room is furnished with a double or twin bed, fan, balcony and inside bathroom. Paradise Diving School is the first diving school on the island, and is fully equipped with boats, gear, and PADI certified diving instructors to attend to your every need.Kadidiri ParadiseKadidiri Island, Togean IslandsPhone: +62 852 42289909Email: email@example.com: www.kadidiriparadise.comBlack Marlin Dive Resort is situated between the other two resorts, and offers 17 stylish, wooden cottages just a few steps from the beach. All rooms are equipped with double spring beds, mosquito nets, ceiling fans, clean running water and a panoramic sea view. Available facilities are pool table, ocean café and restaurant, bar, safety box, and dive boats. Prices range from 16-35 Euros per person per night.Black Marlin Dive ResortKadidiri Island, Togean IslandsPhone: +62 85657202004 / +62 8123806904Email: email@example.com / firstname.lastname@example.com: www.blackmarlindiving.comPondok Lestari is located further down the beach, to the right of the other two. Pondok Lestari is the cheapest on the island, and ideal for budget travellers. It offers simple, bamboo cottages; available for singles or doubles, and shared toilets and showers. They do not have their own dive center, but they do provide free snorkelling trips.
UnaUna is 30 kms from the nearest island and is not accessible by public transport. Therefore getting there is an exceptionally challenging task, and should not be attempted unless you have time to spare.
There are several routes, each taking at least a few days, but the first step is always to fly to Manado International Airport in North Sulawesi. Silk Air has regular International flights from Singapore to Manado. There are also domestic flights from Jakarta and Bali on Lion Air, Garuda, Batavia Air, and Merpati.
From Manado, catch one of the twice-weekly flights to Luwuk. Sriwijaya Air, (www.sriwijayaair.co.id) flies daily from Jakarta to Luwuk via Makassar. Once in Luwuk, take an 8-hour bus ride to Ampana, Central Sulawesi. Ampana is the usual port to the Togean Islands. Boats depart four times a week at 10:00 am.From the Togeans, you can hire a speedboat to Una Una, or you could be adventurous and try to catch a ride with one of the local fishermen.
Alternatively, one may go via Gorontalo City, which can be reached from Manado by bus, chartered car, or plane. From Gorontalo, ferries and speedboats depart on a sporadic schedule on the arduous 12-hour voyage to Wakai. Once in Wakai, you must take a speedboat to Una Una.

Birth Place: Buckinghamshire, England, GB
Born Dec. 30, 1959 in Slough, Buckinghamshire, England, Ullman grew up in a comfortable countryside home, thanks to her father's success as a lawyer and businessman. But when she was just six years old, her dad, Antony, died of a heart attack while reading her a bedtime story. Her mother, Dorin, eventually remarried, though the Ullman household was never quite the same again. To cheer up their mum, Ullman and her sister, Patty, put on comedy shows in the bedroom. Her enthusiasm for performing carried over to school productions, which captured the attention of a teacher who recognized her talent immediately and encouraged Ullman to attend a specialized school. When she was 12, Ullman enrolle... Continue Bio >>

2. Justice Department Announcement about Criminal Justice/Mental Health Grant Funds Expected Shortly
The U.S. Congress allocated $5 million in FY 2007 for the Mentally Ill Offender Treatment and Crime Reduction Act", a program which will be administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). A notice from BJA announcing the availability of funds through this program is expected in the next several weeks. These funds, which will be available to state, tribal and local governments, may be used for a variety of purposes to assist non-violent offenders with mental illnesses, including jail diversion, reentry programs, and training programs for law enforcement, corrections, and mental health personnel. The BJA will solicit applications for these grants through a "Notice of Fund Availability" (NOFA). While the specific requirements for grantees are not yet available, it is expected that applicants who can demonstrate strong collaborations between criminal justice, mental health and other key stakeholders (including consumers and families) will be favored. We also anticipate that prospective grantees will have approximately one month after the date the NOFA is released to submit their applications. NAMI will provide more specific information about the NOFA and how to apply for these grants when it becomes available. For more information about this program, go to http://consensusproject.org/infocenter/news/Mar06/miotcra-update
3. Criminal Justice/Mental Health Information Network
The collaborative effort of Council of State Governments' Consensus Project, The National GAINS Center, and NAMI has produced a powerful new database. The database is designed to help you improve your understanding of the criminal justice/mental health partnerships as well as learn what initiatives are being developed in communities across the country. The database provides useful information on criminal justice/mental health programs, research, legislation, media coverage, advocacy, and statewide coordinating efforts to support local programs. You can preview the InfoNet's content, track its growth as it continues to expand, and submit your email address to receive updates by visiting www.cjmh-infonet.org.
4. Mental Health Court Learning Sites
As of March 2006, there were over 120 known mental health courts in 35 states across the country. To facilitate peer-to-peer assistance among mental health courts, the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), through its technical assistance provider, the Council of State Governments (CSG), has designated five mental health courts as "learning sites." Located across the
5. Iowa Department of Correctional Services Jail Assessment/Diversion Program
A post-booking jail diversion program with a holistic approach, this collaboration between attorneys, judges, parole, service agencies, and jail medical professionals develops individualized strategies for offenders with mental illness. Clients with mental health needs and/or co-occurring disorders enter the program through self report and follow up interviews. Once a client is accepted into the program, a team of stakeholders devise the best treatment plan for the individual. These action plans, having been agreed upon by legal and mental health professionals, are developed to provide the most appropriate placements based on the need of the client. Assistance includes housing, availabilities for services such as social security or veterans benefits, and proper mental health care treatment. This program, based on the APIC Model (Assess, Plan, Identify, and Coordinate) has an impressive and promising success rate. 75% of the program's clients were diverted from jail and prison and successfully transitioned into the community. The program accepts 17 new clients per month, both males and females, not accounting for re-arrests of previous clients. Currently, there are five specialized probation/parole officers working with the program who work with service providers and specialized programs in the community to assist in the care of clients. In discussing the program and the need for jail diversion to encompass a myriad of issues such as housing and employment, Ms. Sara Carter, the Community Treatment Coordinator, stated, "If you are not addressing all of these areas, you are not seeing what the problem is." For more information on this program, please contact Ms. Sara Carter at: firstname.lastname@example.com
6. Take Part in SAMHSA's Free Teleconference Concerning Mental Health Disclosure!
According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), about one in four American adults, or approximately 57.7 million people, will experience a diagnosable mental illness in the coming year. For many people the act of coming out of the closet about having a mental heath problem is a complex process of weighing the benefits and risks of speaking up. Yet, research indicates that, despite its difficulties, self disclosure has a positive effect on peoples' lives overall. The SAMHSA Resource Center to Address Discrimination and Stigma Associated With Mental Illness invites you to participate in a free teleconference training titled,"Self-disclosure: The Public and Personal Effects of Revealing Mental HealthProblems." This teleconference will be hosted on Thursday, April 27, 2006 at12:00 PM – 1:30 PM (Eastern Time).To participate in this training teleconference, please complete the online registration form located at http://www.stopstigma.samhsa.gov/regpage.cfm. For additional teleconference information, please refer to the Training section of the SAMHSA ADS Center web site or contact a technical assistance representative by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or by telephone at 1-800-540-0320. Please pass this invitation along to interested friends and colleagues. Please note: Registration for this teleconference will close at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on Wednesday, April 26, 2006.

Pink Floyd Concert Tickets
Pink Floyd Tickets. Pink Floyd Tour 2009
Pink Floyd tickets have meant more than just music for decades now. They are, to some, Pink Floyd concert tickets to the moon and to others simply Floyd tickets, nothing more, nothing less. One thing is certain; this is progressive rock at its best. The expression "progressive rock" has been used, mis-used and very much overused this past several decades, with only a small handful of great bands truly deserving of inclusion in the genre. Pink Floyd don't just deserve inclusion in the genre; they virtually invented it.
One character in particular springs to mind when looking back on the volcanic genesis from which Pink Floyd erupted; Syd Barrett. Barrett was a renaissance man, an artist in every sense of the word. His parents were broad-minded people, exposing Syd (or Roger, as he was then known) to an artistic and cultural variability few growing minds happen upon. He was encouraged to play music, explore the natural world and paint, experiences which shaped Pink Floyd's - and by extension Underground London's - stylistic direction throughout the late-60s. Soon, hipsters would be buying more than Pink Floyd tickets; they'd be immersed in a whole new style of rock-blues, dredged from the deepest estuaries of consciousness itself.
By 1964, Barrett was attending the Camberwell art school in South London, and regularly performed songs like "Effervescing Elephant" for fellow students at parties. His trademark melodious strangeness was already fully-formed while the Beatles were still singing "She Loves You". It would be a few years until Pink Floyd tickets were clamored for like those other superstars, but it was an inevitable reaction by a public desperate for aural refreshmnent.
Cleopatra hairstyles, Mini cars and mini-skirts all epitomized swinging London, but Syd's idea of what Floyd would be proved a pivotal target music would now aim for. Later bands, like the Soft Machine and Procol Harum, may never have produced the work they did had not Syd been there first to dictate immense changes in musical structure. When Syd joined a band called The Tea Set (among other things), he immediately determined to alter the complexion of what pop bands were all about, and the world took notice; noted talents, such as David Bowie, Brian Eno and Robyn Hitchcock, would later declare Barrett an indespensible influence on their own sound.
The other members of The Tea Set, namely Roger Waters, drummer Nick Mason, and Rick Wright, agreed with Syd's creation of the name "Pink Floyd" by combining parts of the names of Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. It was a bizarre fusion, like an impossible chemical equation, but which seemed appropriate to the fluorescence and humor in Syd's tunes and lyrics. Floyd released "Arnold Layne" in March and "See Emily Play" in June of that psychedelic year, 1967. The former single, an echoing, moonlit rueing of a weird chap's incarceration for stealing ladies' underwear from clotheslines, was promptly banned by the BBC despite making number 20 in the British singles charts. "See Emily Play" suffered no such censure and went to number 6.
The lad from Cambridge had been thrust into the peculiar limelight of an odd time in history, and his artistic and intellectual curiosity were always bound to embroil Syd in some kind of trouble. Massive LSD use led to increasingly meaningless behavior, until the rest of the band were unable to carry him, perched on the brink of international success as they were. The acid-dropping public fell hopelessly in love with the Barrett sound, basking in his throwaway kaleidoscopes of quasi-inane (but all-mystic) odes to existence on a middle-aged planet on the far spiral arm of an average galaxy. But as Pink Floyd tickets sold in higher numbers than the anti-materialistic Barrett could have ever dreamed, an inner disintegration was occurring. Ironically, it was Barrett's unique voice that propeled Floyd to those dizzy heights, and an attempt at retaining his services strictly as a songwriter was doomed to failure. The post-Syd era had come to pass.
The foundations were now in place for an assault on the type of fame and fortune that Barrett was simply unequipped to deal with. Floyd skipped into the 70s on the back of A Saucerful of Secrets and Atom Heart Mother, two albums that command respect even today and which testify to the remaining band members' (plus Dave Gilmour, who replaced Barrett) ability to ride the momentum generated by their fabulous founder. These albums were the tentative steps of a group committed to being themselves, with strange asides and orchestral rock arrangements, as well as some truly dismal attempts at being interesting.
Pink Floyd Tickets and the Wall Era
Now all the garbage and mistakes had been expressed, Floyd were ready to mount the pinnacle - and the next two albums were to provide that. Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here inspired a whole new generation of Pink Floyd fans and sent the value of Pink Floyd tickets through the roof. Everybody wanted to see the band play live, and a Pink Floyd ticket meant life or death to some.
Subsequent releases, including the 2001 BBC Omnibus documentary "Syd Barrett: Crazy Diamond", Animals, and a dark and menacing thing called The Wall, succeeded in making Pink Floyd superstars and Pink Floyd tickets ever-more difficult to find at sane prices. Roger Waters has recently embarked on a solo tour, and indeed Roger Water tickets are equally hard to pin down, as a third generation flocks to his shows, eager to sample the sound and vision spectaculars Waters serves up.
It's a hard-hearted Floyd fan who dismisses Barrett's integral role in the formation and character of this legendary rock band, and anyone who buys Pink Floyd tickets or Roger Waters tickets today is hard pushed not to see the vestiges of Syd's utterly different style there onstage. But now is Now, and the only way to go is forward; go take in a Pink Floyd or a Roger Waters show and wallow in that intensity once more.

2001 Honda CR-V Leads Largest Growing Segment in Auto Industry
With its extraordinary list of standard features, competitive price, renowned Honda quality and powerful engine, the popular CR-V continues to lead the competition as America's favorite small sport utility vehicle.
When the sporty, fun-to-drive Honda CR-V arrived in showrooms in 1997, it quickly became the best selling SUV in the small sport utility segment. Today, the small sport utility division is the fastest growing segment in the auto industry, and the CR-V continues to break new ground.
In addition to sales leadership, the Honda CR-V has also received several industry awards including IntelliChoice's "#1 Best Compact Utility Vehicle" and "Best SUV under $25,000."
The popular CR-V SE model introduced midway through the 2000 model year remains in the Honda lineup for 2001. The SE model offers leather trimmed interior and steering wheel, three-in-one AM/FM/Cassette/CD stereo system, body colored side moldings and bumpers, hard spare tire cover, privacy glass and a chrome accent grille.
Child safety seat tether anchors for the rear seats have been added to all models for 2001. Additional features that are standard on the 2001 CR-V include dual airbags; air conditioning with micron air filtration system; AM/FM stereo cassette system; power door locks, windows and mirrors; cruise control and rear window wiper/washer; illuminated power window switches and rear cup holders in the door panels. In addition, the EX model contains an AM/FM stereo CD system.
The CR-V is available in both 2-wheel drive (2WD) and 4-wheel drive (4WD) models. An all-aluminum 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder, 16-valve DOHC (Dual Overhead Cam) engine powers the CR-V, generating 146-horsepower.
The CR-V 4WD models include Honda's revolutionary Real Time 4WD systems. The vehicle operates in front-wheel drive mode under normal driving conditions, providing a flawless, fuel-efficient performance. When Real Time identifies front wheel slippage or awkward road surfaces, it engages automatically to deliver power to all four wheels.
Convenience features that are distinctive to the CR-V include a fold-down center tray table located between the driver and passenger seats, and a rear cargo compartment cover that converts to a foldout picnic table.
The CR-V offers one of the largest interiors in its class with 98 cu. ft. of interior passenger volume. Headroom in the CR-V is equally generous, providing 40.5 inches in front and 39.1 inches in the rear.

More information about John Lewis can be found on the company's website.
Our assessment of John Lewis refers to the store's 'John Lewis' branded clothing. We hold separate data on many of the other brands sold in John Lewis stores. Check our 'compare companies' page for more information on these brands.
John Lewis' Responsible Sourcing Code of Practice can be found on the company's website.
John Lewis' Responsible Sourcing Code of Practice states:
'Suppliers are expected to communicate and ensure compliance of this Code across all workers, suppliers and any out-workers or sub-contractors engaged in their supply chain.'
We said to John Lewis in an email dated 27 July 2012:
'Your Responsible Sourcing Code commits to living wages. In the light of this, I wondered if you have any programmes underway to assess what a living wage is in the countries from which you source and to assess whether suppliers are paid enough for workers to be given a living wage?'
John Lewis did not have any specific programs on living wages that they could point to their response on 8 August 2012, however. They told us only:
'John Lewis is a member of the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI), a tripartite alliance of companies, trades unions and NGOs, which seeks to engage in projects that will deliver sustainable solutions to improve the lives of those working in global supply chains. The John Lewis Responsible Sourcing Code of Practice mirrors the ETI Base Code.'
John Lewis told us in an email dated 8 August 2012:
'For reasons of commercial sensitivity, we are not able to publish a list of our suppliers.'
John Lewis told us in an email dated 8 August 2012:
'How often a factory is audited depends on the outcomes of initial audits. Factories who score low on our audit scoring framework have between 12 and 18 months to address the issues raised in the corrective action plan before they face another audit. However, where severe non-compliances are identified, the re-audit can happen within six months.
'Audits are valid for two years and so in the normal course of events a supplier should expect to be re-audited after two years. However, where a factory has consistently high audit scoring results, we would look at other more effective ways of ensuring ongoing improvement other than audits….
'We started our formal auditing programme in 2010. With a large and complex supply chain, we have prioritised certain factories for audit, which we have done based on various criteria including country of manufacture and industry. We aim to have all our factories ethically audited by the end of 2014, and to repeat visits every two years. Exceptions occur when a factory is consistently high performing and we adopt a more collaborative approach to sustainability.'
John Lewis told us in an email dated 8 August 2012:
'Our Responsible Sourcing team, who oversee the audit process from our London office, visit factories, as do our Buyers. All our Buyers have undergone training on our Code and have been issued with a Buyer's Guide to our Code and are fully briefed on relevant issues by the Responsible Sourcing team before their visits. We have recently (May 2012) established a sourcing office in India manned by John Lewis Partners, who as part of their role, will visit factories in the Indian subcontinent.'
John Lewis told us in an email dated 8 August 2012:
'It is our belief that positive engagement with our suppliers and working together with them to reach the standards set out in our Code is a better way to achieve long-term ongoing improvement in our supply base.'
John Lewis told us in an email dated 8 August 2012:
'The SMETA (SEDEX Members Ethical Trade Audit) audit protocol which we follow includes confidential worker interviews and the selection of participants is carried out in accordance with that protocol by the auditor, not the factory management. Our auditors inform workers that details discussed in the interviews are confidential and they make every effort to create a relaxed, informal atmosphere in which the discussions can take place.'
John Lewis told us in an email dated 8 August 2012:
'As members of ETI [Ethical Trading Initiative], we will submit detailed information on audits and audit outcomes to the ETI in our annual report to them.
However, the annual reports that ETI members must submit are not publicly available.
John Lewis told us in an email dated 8 August 2012:
'We have not used this approach, but we are aware other retailers have trialled this approach and we will carefully follow any results to assess how effective it is.
'As a responsible retailer, we believe there is more to be gained by supporting the development of mature industrial relations between management and workers, supported by best in class HR practices. In our experience, this offers the best opportunities for workers to raise concerns and to become involved in finding solutions and implementing long-term change.'
