2015 Dewar Trophy awarded to GKN Hybrid Power
GKN Hybrid Power has been honoured with the Dewar Trophy for the development and application to buses of Gyrodrive technology.
Arguably the most prestigious honours in recognition of home-grown British automotive engineering talent, the Dewar Trophy is only awarded in years when the Royal Automobile Club's Dewar Technical Committee deems there have been contenders of sufficient merit. This is one such year.
The Dewar Trophy was presented to GKN Hybrid Power General Manager, Gordon Day, for his team's development and application to buses of Gyrodrive – a motor sport-derived technology that delivers fuel and emissions savings in multiple commercial applications including buses, trucks and trains.
The first commercial application has been in buses across several UK cities, delivering greater fuel efficiencies to the tune of around 20 per cent, alongside reduced vehicle emissions. This same technology offers affordable efficiency gains across a wide range of future applications, with the simple principle that the energy storage flywheel, which sits at the heart of the technology, is able to convert energy traditionally lost as heat into recyclable rotational kinetic energy.
Awarding the 2015 trophy to GKN Hybrid Power was a unanimous decision for experts on the Royal Automobile Club's Dewar Technical Committee, chaired by John Wood MBE. Previous winners of the Dewar Trophy, which has a lineage dating back to 1906, include Rolls-Royce in 1907 for its 40.5hp engine; the British Motor Corporation and Alec Issigonis for the original Mini in 1959; McLaren in 2013 for the P1 and Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains for the 2014 PU106A Hybrid Formula 1 power unit.
John Wood MBE, Chairman of the Dewar Technical Committee, said:
'GKN's investment in affordable hybrid technology paves the way for the development of fuel saving vehicles in many new markets around the world. The Dewar Trophy, presented to GKN in recognition of this outstanding technical achievement, is a testament to the engineers who envisaged how a motor sport technology could have real advantages in the commercial world.'
Receiving the Dewar Trophy, Gordon Day, General Manager, GKN Hybrid Power, said:
'It is a great honour to be recognised with such a prestigious award. Our work to drive forward development of our electric flywheel energy storage technology – from motor sport to mainstream transportation – is something of which we are particularly proud. The team at GKN Hybrid Power is committed to continued evolution of our core technology, and to meeting the challenges of delivering this innovative solution for reducing emissions and increasing fuel efficiency across transport industry networks.'
The Dewar Trophy was presented to the Royal Automobile Club in 1904 by Sir Thomas Dewar, MP (later Lord Dewar), and was to be awarded at the discretion of the Club's Technical Committee for the most meritorious performance by an automobile manufacturer in the Certified Trials held by the Club.
The first recipients of the award in 1906 were Dennis Brothers Limited of Guildford, whose 20hp car covered a distance of 4000 miles. It was awarded 19 times during the years 1906 to 1929, there being some years when it was considered that no performance had been recorded of sufficient merit to warrant the award.
In 1931 the award was updated to reflect 'the most outstanding technical achievement accomplished during that year under the competition rules of the Club'. No award was made under these new terms, however, until 1950 – when it went to the Rover Company for the production and performance of the Rover Gas Turbine Powered Car.
The Trophy was not awarded again until 1957, at which time the terms were again changed to those which prevail to this day, namely: 'for an outstanding British technical achievement in the automotive field during the preceding year'.
The award is held in as high regard today as it was in the earliest years of the 20th century, with recent winners including the JCB Dieselmax world diesel land speed record breaker, Mercedes-Benz High Performance Engines for its Formula One Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) and Lotus Engineering for its Versatile Vehicle Architecture (VVA) chassis technology.
Thomas Robert 'Tommy' Dewar was born in 1864 in Perth, Scotland. His was a relatively privileged background, due to the success of his father's distillery, John Dewar & Sons, Ltd. He earned his education in Perth, as well as in Edinburgh and, after an unsuccessful attempt at farming, entered the family business.
After his father's death, 'Tommy' worked with his brother at the head of the firm, investing his charisma and business acumen to great effect and making Dewar's a global success. Visiting 26 countries, over the course of two years, the Dewar's brand was put on the map as one of the premiere Scotch Whiskies. Dewar himself meanwhile kept a journal of his travels which were consolidated and published in the book titled, Ramble Round the Globe, published by Chatto and Windus in 1894.
With his travelling days behind him, Dewar entered political life; being elected as the Conservative member for Tower Hamlets in 1900. He successfully bred racehorses and sponsored prizes for association football and cycling as well as taking a keen interest in the burgeoning automotive industry and inaugurating the Dewar Trophy.
Dewar was knighted in 1902, created a Baronet, of Homestall Manor in the Parish of East Grinstead in the County of East Sussex, in 1917 and raised to the peerage as Baron Dewar, of Homestall in the County of Sussex in 1919. He died in 1930, when the baronetcy and barony became extinct.

We don't need guns to killSanta Maria
By Michael Southern
It seems a great many people believe that guns and mass killings go together—that if there were no guns, there would be no mass killings. That is an illusion. Human nature and ingenuity allow anyone intent on committing a horrendous crime to overcome obstacles standing between them and a murderous goal.
Richard Speck raped, tortured, and murdered eight nurses in South Chicago in 1966 by strangulation and beatings. Julio Gonzalez killed 87 people in New York in 1990 when he set fire to a nightclub. David Burke caused PSA Flight 1771 to disintegrate when it crash at full speed into a field in San Luis Obispo in 1987, killing 42 people. Timothy McVeigh and his fertilizer bomb killed 168 people in Oklahoma City in 1995. A list of mass killings that did not involve guns would be very long.
Attempts to ban the instruments of mass killings are an exercise in futility and ultimately a distraction from the real cause of these tragedies. Human nature and ingenuity will always find a way to kill and destroy.
Violence is in our nature—not in the instruments we use.

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries said it will bring a generic version of Viagra® (sildenafil citrate) to market two years sooner than previously planned, after the Israeli drug giant's U.S. subsidiary and Pfizer agreed to resolve a longtime patent lawsuit over the male sexual dysfunction drug.
The companies have entered into a settlement of the litigation that will allow Teva to launch its generic Viagra on December 11, 2017 or "earlier under certain circumstances," which were undisclosed in a company statement. Teva is among drugmakers that have been selling generic Viagra in parts of Europe since June.
As part of the deal, Teva agreed to pay Pfizer an undisclosed sum in royalties through the expiration of Pfizer's patent for Viagra in April 2020, Pfizer said in a separate statement.
Other terms of the settlement agreement are confidential.
The patent, issued in 2002 for the drug's method of action in treating impotence, was at the center of a lawsuit that met with partial success in 2010, when federal courts invalidated portions of the patent because of the drug's similarity to horny goat weed, a Chinese herb.
A year later, however, Pfizer won a key victory when a U.S. District Court judge in Norfolk, VA, upheld the method patent, extending protection that was once expected to end in 2012 when the drug's composition of matter patent expired.
Teva sought to invalidate the remainder of the patent, but yesterday lost its appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
The patent was extended six months after Pfizer tested the drug in young patients.
Despite the litigation, Teva has already won the FDA's tentative approval for 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg dosages of generic Viagra tablets.
Teva cited IMS sales data showing Viagra with annual sales of about $1.2 billion in the United States as of September 2013. According to Pfizer, Viagra generated $2.051 billion in global sales last year, up 3.5% from 2011.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

More California State University campuses are adopting or proposing "student success fees" of $200 to $500 per semester to add sections, counseling and other services that promote degree completion, The Los Angeles Times reported. The campuses say that they need the funds, noting that the relatively good budget year they are having doesn't come close to making up for the cuts of previous years. But students and others say that these fees are paying for expenses that tuition is supposed to cover, and that the fees run counter to pledges to the state about minimizing tuition increases.
States' failures to use their money strategically; align their educational offerings to students' needs; and help students move from K-12 to higher education combine to limit their ability to close higher education and attainment gaps and produce more educated work forces at a time of great need, a new report asserts.
The report from the Institute for Research on Higher Education at the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education examines the higher education policies and outcomes in five representative states -- Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Texas and Washington -- and offers recommendations to state leaders, including focusing more attention on socioeconomic equity and better aligning their policies to desired outcomes.
Ever since a 2009 law restricted the ability of credit card companies to push their wares on college students, the companies have substantially reined in their marketing to students -- but are targeting alumni instead, the Government Accountability Office said in a report released Tuesday.
The GAO report found a decline in the number and value of affinity card agreements, in which issuers use the institution's name or logo in exchange for payments. Several leading providers of credit cards said that they had ceased their marketing to students, and college officials interviewed by GAO agreed.
Robert Imhoff, president of Mid-Continent University, resigned Saturday amid reports that the Baptist institution in Kentucky is facing a severe financial crisis, WPSD News reported. At the same time, officials vowed to keep the university open. At least one trustee has suggested that the university may not be able to survive, and local colleges are looking at transfer options for those at Mid-Continent. Gale Hawkins, a trustee, shared this advice for students: "I just simply say, if it was my child or myself I would get the most current transcript I could get from the office today."
The University of Florida on Friday announced its largest-ever gift: $75 million for its business school, The Gainesville Sun reported.
The Corcoran College of Art + Design would become part of George Washington University under a plan announced Wednesday. The college and the Corcoran Gallery of Art have struggled financially for some time, and the plan would also involve the National Gallery of Art taking control of the art museum. The announcement of the plan noted that details remain to be worked out. The new plan replaces one announced in April under which the Corcoran would have created an affiliation with the University of Maryland at College Park.
Marquette University announced Wednesday that 25 non-faculty employees are being told that their jobs are being eliminated, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. With other open positions not being replaced, the total number of jobs at the university is expected to drop by 105. University officials said that they were trying to minimize spending, and to minimize tuition increases.
Clark University, in Massachusetts, has dropped need-blind admissions, in which applicants are admitted regardless of their ability to pay, MassLive.com reported. Going ahead, the university will become "need-aware" at the end of its admissions process, meaning that once the financial aid budget has been spent, applicants who can afford to pay will be admitted. Officials said that they remained committed to admitting low-income students, but that the need-blind policy had forced Clark to make cuts in other parts of its budget, and was no longer sustainable.
Fund raisers at American colleges and schools estimate that giving to their institutions grew by 5.1 percent in 2013 in will grow by 5.2 percent this year, the Council for Advancement and Support of Education said its twice-year survey had found.
The figures for higher education alone were flipped, at 5.2 percent for 2013 and 5.1 percent for 2014. And public colleges and universities were more upbeat than their private college counterparts, estimating donations to their institutions at 5.7 percent and 5.6 percent, respectively, compared to 4.8 percent for both years for private colleges.
Long Beach City College is taking advantage of a new California law authorizing it to offer tiered tuition -- charging more in the winter and summer for some high demand courses. An article in The Los Angles Times finds that there are clearly students willing to pay more, in many cases because the regular, less expensive versions are full, semester after semester. At the same time, the article finds continued concerns about the idea of providing some access based on ability to pay more. "It creates two types of students: those who can pay and those who cannot. And it's unfair to the students who have to feed families and are unemployed," said Andrea Donado, student representative on the Long Beach Community College District board.

Mt. Brighton has long been the target for jokes about small hills and lack of updates. Not anymore. Vail purchased Mt. Brighton last year and has implemented millions $$$ in improvements. They are not done yet. New chair lifts, new snow guns, new lodge interiors, new venues, MUCH better expanded snowboarding terrain parks. Vail is bringing their professional experience in running ski resorts and the result is and incredible improvement. Mt. Brighton had been stagnant form the 70's but now appears to be hip and upscale casual. Very cool and what a great asset to have in suburban Detroit. If you are looking to hit the slopes for some fun, Mt. Brighton is a new and fun place to do so. You will not get long runs or woodsy tree covered areas but you can get out and experience basically a new resort for quick ski fix. Snowboarders should benefit greatly as the terrain parks are really the largest improvement at Brighton. Good place for families. Hope Vail keep the local employees in line as I had a flashback to the OLD Mt.. Brighton days when I walked into their better restaurant the other day to use the restrooms and there were hand written signs on both the Men's and Women's bathroom doors saying "Out Of Order - STAY OUT!" - Not a good message to customers "STAY OUT"... hope this attitude is being fixed (or not even allowed at the new Mt. Brighton). To me that is a note that belongs at the DMV not a resort type atmosphere. Then again, I have not experienced Vail out West - maybe this is the norm? If so, I think I will head to Park City instead. Vail needs to really keep a close eye on the customer experience at Mt. Brighton, anything akin to the crotchety people that used to run some things there will result in a bad reputation for Mt. Brighton and more importantly Vail Resorts. Lots of competition in Mt. Holly, Pine Knob, Alpine Valley and many very well run resorts up north. Vail needs to do this right and treat people like they want them there and not like they are a nuisance.

Tagged: portfolio height
Hey guys,
I'm trying to reduce the height of the portfolio thumbs. I managed to reduce the image size, but while it loads, the container remains the old size, where can i fix this?
Before loading:
Hi HawtCoffee,
Try adding the following CSS to your Quick CSS (located under the Styling Tab in the theme options) or the custom.css file in the css folder of your theme files:
#top .one_half .slideshow{
Try changing the height to what you want them to be when first loading.
Just to note, your usename has made me get coffee way to late at night :)
I have tried to do this but cant get it to work, I tried to sort the images by tweaking this line in theme functions…
$avia_config = array('width'=>465, 'height'=>245);
And then I applied your css rule but with the height set to 245px.
Any help where I am going wrong?

Governments and businesses can profit from climate change solutions, but only if they look for opportunity instead stalling.
Perhaps no major issue facing the entire world is more pressing than climate change, yet so far neither of our candidates for president has demonstrated that they are "awake" to either the impacts or the solutions.
There are many approaches to sustainability challenges, so an robust debate about how to reduce pollution and make the country more energy self-sufficient is indispensable, but there can't be a fair hearing of these choices when one side is allowed to shout while the other can only whisper.
We're not talking about the Persian Gulf. It's the South China Sea where China and Vietnam are on a collision course that could result in higher commodity prices and far worse.
Wal-Mart's efforts may be something to wmulate. The company has a stated goal of becoming 100-percent, renewable-energy powered, and its clean-energy work is done because it costs the same amount or less than business-as-usual.
The debate over nuclear has generally boiled down to the challenge of waste disposal, but the real wild card is human error.
New US tariffs on Chinese solar panels are meant to crack down on government subsidies abroad but they're also killing solar rooftop installation jobs at home.
With a global population that now exceeds seven billion and a rapidly growing middle class, especially in developing economies such as Brazil, China, and India, resources are becoming increasingly scarce and we can no longer afford to waste anything, says CNBC.com guest blogger Terry Tamminen.
We all need to find ways to leverage our assets beyond what many might think is possible to make a more sustainable planet, economy or business., says CNBC.comblogger Terry Tamminen.
What's trending in Q1 of 2012? Three things that will cost more going forward and one that will definitely be heading down, says CNBC.com guest blogger Terry Tamminen.

Thanks for this design, but when i on wp debug option, then i can face lot of error, but why?
All my configuration looks fantastic. But, when I log out of wordpress, I lose all my configuration. It started when I used the Frontier Options to configure. If I log back into wordpress, all my configuration is there. What is up with this!
Un thème super et des mises a jour trés fréquentes, un Grand Merci à l'Auteur
This theme is by far the best one I have used on my website [ link redacted, please do not post links in reviews ] and I can't resist myself giving a 5 star review! The developers have done a great job. This one is absolutely free. So, it's the best!
Nice theme, thanks. A big minus is that the posts are not displayed Featured images
I have used this theme on a couple of sites, it's pretty flexible and able to produce sites that don't look all the same (and as a result, don't get google pissed off). Some areas could be improved, but overall this is one of the better themes you can get for free. Just be patient in playing with the options and settings.
Nice theme. Simple and easy to handle.
Thank you for sharing.
I absolutely love this theme. Gorgeous looking with tons of options and controls. You should have already received by now my donation.
This is one of the best themes that I have installed. Just Perfect, well thought and well developed.
The developer has taken into consideration very minor customization as well, and developed a fabulous theme.
For the first time I genuinely want to make a donation.
Keep up the good work.
Nice theme . thanks a lot for your nice creation.

We spent three nights here and found the location to be perfect! Being able to walk around the French Quarter and being able to pop back to your air conditioned room to get out of the crazy humidity was great.
You're literally 5 minutes from Frenchmen which was exactly what we hoped New Orleans would be, great music (both in the bars and on the streets) great food and great drinks.
The staff were extremely helpful and gave us some brilliant recommendations for dinner and nights out off the beaten track.
The room itself will be a disappointment to those expecting a modern Hilton style room but the Convento is perfectly clean and has everything you need including bags of character (often lacking in the aforementioned Hilton rooms).
Finally the free parking was an absolute winner and although its a 5 minute walk once your car is parked up you can forget about it til you leave. From what I gathered during my hotel research in NEw Orleans parking is either non existent or horrendously expensive. Given how much time you're going to be spending in your room (not a lot) in such a cool city, I'd recommend booking here and using the money you save in parking fees on oysters and cocktails!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

From: Vancouver, WA
Region: Northwest
Topic: Edible Plants, Shrubs, Vines
Title: Huckleberries and blueberries from Vancouver WA
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:Can you plant a blueberry next to a huckleberry?
Is this a trick question? Please read this webite: What is the Difference Between Blueberry and Huckleberry? Also read this article from GardenGuides.com and note especially this paragraph on "Origins."
The blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) and huckleberry (Gaylussacia spp.) species familiar to Americans are native to North America, growing in moist acidic soils in forests and scrublands. The blueberries most often grown in the United States are native to either the eastern woodlands or the montane forests of extreme western North America from California to Alaska. Other Vaccinium species grow naturally in Asia and Europe. Huckleberries include 40 species of shrubs from both North and South America, but the few frequently grown for fruit in the United States are native to either eastern North America's woodlands or the western coastal ranges from California to southern Alaska."
We first searched our Native Plant Database on "blueberry," and found 18 plants with that word in their common name. Of that, there were 6 members of the Vaccinium genus, Ericacaceae family called blueberries native to Washington. When we searched on "huckleberry," we found 5 members of the Vaccinium genus, Ericaceae family native to Washington. Three, from both lists, were the same plant!
Vaccinium membranaceum (Mountain huckleberry)
Vaccinium ovatum (California huckleberry)
Vaccinium parvifolium (Red blueberry)
If you follow those plant links to the webpage on each plant, you will find that both common names are listed for each plant. Apparently, the genus Gaylussacia, also frequently with both common names, does not grow natively in Washington at all.
So, are you worried about the two species of the same genus hybridizing with each other? Since they grow natively in the wild, probably they already have, naturally. I would say they could be planted together, absolutely. In fact, you could plant two of the same plant from the list above, and STILL have a blueberry planted next to a huckleberry.
Just to make it more interesting, our Image Gallery had no pictures of the three plants we listed as dual named. Probably this means no one else could tell the difference, either.

Robert H. Legvold, David C. Speedie

Karim Sadjadpour
In the short term, one of the biggest winners in the Iran deal is China, and the biggest loser is Saudi Arabia. But 10, 15 years from now, we may see that the deal was a seminal factor in reintegrating Iran into the global political economy and strengthening civil society--making the U.S. and Europe the winners and countries like Russia and Syria the losers.

Sarah Chayes, Stephanie Sy
Around the world from Afghanistan to Nigeria, systemic corruption is fueling instability, declares Sarah Chayes in this electrifying conversation.

The United States must stop its demonization of President Putin, according to members of this distinguished panel, all with long associations with Russia and all founding members of the American Committee for East-West Accord.

The "Singapore School" of Asian Values: Down But Not Out? | 01/26/16
See Seng Tan
When the Asian financial crisis of 1997 blunted the so-called "Asian Economic Miracle," critics--many Westerners, but also Asians tired of the tendentious claims of their cultural elites--bid good riddance to the end of "Asian values." Yet the "Singapore school" could well experience a revival in the foreseeable future, albeit in a different form.
Humans Need Not Apply: A Guide to Wealth and Work in the Age of Artificial Intelligence | 01/14/16
Jerry Kaplan, Joanne J. Myers
"Artificial intelligence" is a misnomer, says computer scientist Jerry Kaplan. Machines are not intelligent; their programmers are. What we're seeing is a huge acceleration of automation, which will eliminate all kinds of jobs and create all kinds of unimaginable new ones. This will create a great deal of wealth. But the question is who will get that wealth?

Comments about Smart Destinations New York Explorer Pass®:
After scheduling a long weekend trip to NYC for my 10yr old daughter and my mother, I looked into the City Pass, NYC Pass and the Explorer Pass. The Explorer Pass won HANDS DOWN. We saw everything we wanted, at half the cost, with the flexibility to choose what we wanted to to do each day. You aren't physically capable of visiting enough sites to make the other two passes a good value, unless you RUSH AND RUN the whole day. This pass lets you choose the number of attractions and you decide when to go see them! Last minute ordering is VERY easy, and I had no problems using it by showing my phone to ANY of the attractions. There are also discounts given to attractions that aren't included, like Madame Tussaud's, and we skipped almost all the lines! I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to see 2-3 attractions a day! It is SO easy to use and SO much cheaper than the other passes! We had a blast thanks to our pass!
Comments about Smart Destinations New York Explorer Pass®:
Was so easy to use, no problems anywhere.
Comments about Smart Destinations New York Explorer Pass®:
Its a money saver and you get introduced to the most important and must see places.
Comments about Smart Destinations New York Explorer Pass®:
My husband and I chose the pass that allowed us to see 3 attractions, as we were going to be in NYC for only a few days. We were able to attend two of the venues, but, unfortunately, my husband became really ill, causing us to miss the third attraction we were planning to attend on our last full day there. Hence, if you are thinking of purchasing this pass, make sure you get one that you know you will be able to use to its fullest extent.
Comments about Smart Destinations New York Explorer Pass®:
I´ve used the card twice in New York.- It was very convinient for a familiy of 5.- This time happened that we asked for information in the wrong place, and the people there didn´t tell us or didn´t realize it was a different card so they gave us wrong information.- Luckly we could solve the problem.-

After being shut out for the first seven innings, the Sens scored two runs in the eighth inning, rallying with two outs and no one on base. Adam Fox drew a walk which was followed by an Archie Gilbert single. Fox then scored on a pinch-hit single by Tim Pahuta. Jonathan Tucker followed by reaching on a bunt single, driving in Gilbert with the tying run.
After Bowie took a 4-3 lead in the top of the ninth, the Sens again rallied. Tyler Moore, Devin Ivany and Buck Coats all reached on errors. With one out, Fox delivered a single to tie the game and Gilbert followed by grounding a hit down the third base line to drive in the game winner sending 4,133 fans home happy.
Pat McCoy earned the win, retiring two batters in the top of the ninth. Jose Diaz took the tough luck loss for Bowie.
Luis Atilano started for the Sens and went the first five innings, striking out two and walking two while allowing two runs. He was followed by Henry Rodriguez and Erik Arnesen. With the win, the Sens take the series and improve to 2-1 on the season while Bowie falls to 1-2.
The opening homestand continues on Monday night as the New Britain Rock Cats invade Metro Bank Park for a three-game series. On Monday, RH Erik Davis makes his Sens debut opposed by RH Liam Hendriks for New Britain. The game can be heard on 1460am The Ticket and over the Internet through the Senators website beginning at 6:45 p.m.

Published: March 28, 2003
A selective listing by critics of The Times of noteworthy pop and jazz concerts in the New York metropolitan region this weekend. * denotes a highly recommended concert.
* AISLERS SET, HELLA, the Knitting Factory, 74 Leonard Street, TriBeCa, (212) 219-3006; Northsix, 66 North Sixth Street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, (718) 599-5103. Aislers Set, led by Amy Linton, bends its poppy tunes into peculiar shapes until its sounds like a girl group warped by a funhouse mirror. Sharing the bill is Hella, which crunches the complex meters and zigzag riffs of progressive rock into songs for a guitar-and-drum duo. At the Knitting Factory tonight at 10, with the Quails opening; admission is $10. At Northsix tomorrow night at 9, admission, $10 (Jon Pareles).
ERIC ALEXANDER QUINTET, Village Vanguard, 178 Seventh Avenue South, at 11th Street, West Village, (212) 255-4037. A young tenor saxophonist who has inherited the blues sense, dramatic feel and aggressive tone of the hard-bop musicians, and who has logged a lot of time with bandleaders including Charles Earland and Harold Mabern, also leads his own band. What counts most is his beautiful sound, a thing that's not easy to come by. Tonight through Sunday night at 9 and 11; cover, $30 tonight and tomorrow night, $25 on Sunday (Ben Ratliff).
GATO BARBIERI, Blue Note, 131 West Third Street, West Village, (212) 475-8592. All gatos have a few lives, and Mr. Barbieri, the saxophonist, has had three: first as a free-jazz wailer in the early 1970's, then as the soloist on the celebrated ''Last Tango in Paris'' soundtrack and now as a smooth-jazz balladeer. Tonight through Sunday night at 8 and 10:30; cover charge is $30 at the tables, $20 at the bar (Ratliff).
DAN BERN, Bowery Ballroom, 6 Delancey Street, near the Bowery, Lower East Side, (212) 533-2111. The songwriter Dan Bern has the Dust Bowl nasality of the young Bob Dylan, a mobile face, a slyly quizzical demeanor and a gift for transforming off-center observations into telling insights. Tomorrow night at 9, with the National and Johnny Society opening, and Sunday night at 9 with Mike Errico opening; tickets are $16 in advance, $18 the day of the show (Pareles).
BETTIE SERVEERT, Mercury Lounge, 217 East Houston Street, at Ludlow Street, Lower East Side, (212) 260-4700. Bettie Serveert -- a Dutch band whose leader, Carol van Dijk, sings in fluent English -- has persevered for more than a decade on the collegiate-rock circuit with observant songs about romantic ups and downs, continually expanding a musical vocabulary that now stretches from pop tunefulness to indie-rock guitar furor to the easy-rolling incantations of Van Morrison. Tonight, with Blake Hazard at 8, Pete Francis (from Dispatch) at 9, New Wet Kojak at 10 and Bettie Serveert at 11; admission is $10 (Pareles).
* MARCO CAROLA, JORI HULKKONEN, Arc, 6 Hubert Street, near Hudson Street, TriBeCa, (212) 226-9212. A night of meticulous electronic music from two European D.J.'s. Mr. Carola, from Italy, favors stripped-down techno tracks, which can sound alternately (and, sometimes, simultaneously) menacing and dreamy. Mr. Hulkkonen, from Finland, embraces the warmer sound of house music, although he, too, has a soft spot for robotic sounds. Tomorrow night at 11, with Bill Patrick; admission is $25 (Kelefa Sanneh).
CLEM SNIDE, Southpaw, 125 Fifth Avenue, at Sterling Place, Park Slope, Brooklyn, (718) 230-0236. The semirural sound of Clem Snide doesn't quite hide the band's punk roots. Its songs can be morosely tuneful or smart and goofy; sample title: ''Joan Jett of Arc.'' Tonight at 9, with Cub Country opening; admission is $12 (Pareles).
DAVE DOUGLAS, Jazz Standard, 116 East 27th Street, Manhattan, (212) 576-2232. Dave Douglas, a gifted trumpeter, found out early that straddling the fence between the mainstream jazz tradition and the experimental backlands outside it could only be helpful, both for himself and his audience. So his various bands can be quite different. The Dave Douglas Sextet, featured tonight (at the end of a 10-band Douglas retrospective week), has paid astute homage to various jazz composer-performers like Booker Little, Wayne Shorter and Mary Lou Williams. The New Quintet, tomorrow, gets its energy from late-acoustic, early-electric Miles Davis (that great cusp period, around 1967 or '68); this can be a particularly satisfying live band. And the Septet, on Sunday, balances precise arrangements of jumpy original music with electronic sounds and the occasional wild, unconstrained guitar solo, as heard on the new record ''Freak In'' (RCA). Sets are at 7:30 and 9:30, with an 11:30 set tonight and tomorrow; cover charge is $25, $20 on Sunday (Ratliff).
ROBERTA FLACK, B. B. King Blues Club and Grill, 243 West 42nd Street, Manhattan, (212) 997-4144. Behind the gentle, knowing voice that confided hits like ''The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,'' Roberta Flack holds deep knowledge of the continuum of blues, gospel, soul and jazz, and with just a flicker of rawness she can make her songs hit home. Tonight and tomorrow night at 8 and 10:30; tickets are $45 in advance, $50 the day of the show (Pareles).

My undergraduate degree was in fine arts. Later, I became a largely self-taught web designer while also pursuing Biblical studies (M.Div.). I am now mainly inactive with web design, but when I do still dabble with CSS (or LESS), I tend to seek pushing it to its limits. Such dabbling is now a very part-time hobby, having earned my M.A. in Bible Exposition, Master of Divinity, and Ph.D. in Biblical Studies with a concentration in Systematic Theology. It is this Bible focus that has me spending more of my "free time" being active on the Biblical Hermeneutics SE site. This meta question of mine will reveal a lot about where I come from regarding that topic.

BMW 528i RecallsReduced Braking Efficiency
These vehicles use a vacuum pump to supply power assist to the braking system. Due to insufficient lubrication this vacuum pump may fail. Failure of the brake vacuum pump would result in a reduction in braking power that could increase the risk of a crash. In order to correct this concern, dealers will install a locking ring in the camshaft to retain the camshaft seal disk in the proper location. This will ensure proper oiling of the vacuum pump. Note: This recall is an expansion of an earlier recall.
The bolts that secure the housing for the variable camshaft timing adjustment unit can loosen over time and possibly break, causing engine damage and engine stalling. Dealers will replace the four bolts for both intake and exhaust timing units free of charge to resolve the concern.
These vehicles use a vacuum pump to supply power assist for the braking system. The vacuum pump can fail unexpectedly due to insufficient lubrication. This would reduce braking efficiency, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will make modifications to allow for proper lubrication of the vacuum pump in order to correct this concern.
