Automotive technology milestones: Bosch TravelPilot production began 25 years ago
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 29 July 2014 Release date- 28072014 - Hildesheim. For more than 25 years, navigation systems have been guiding car users in Germany safely from A to B, and now they are even capable of optimizing the vehicle's energy consumption.
Depending on the topography of the route, eco-navigation can achieve average fuel savings of around nine percent. Accordingly, CO2 emissions can also be reduced significantly.
In 1989 Bosch began series production of the TravelPilot IDS (Identification of Digitized Streets), the first autonomous destination-finding and navigation system for use on European roads. With a map displayed on a 4.5-inch monitor, it kept the driver informed about the vehicle's current position within the road network and employed simple arrow symbols to indicate the direction to the destination as well as available road links leading to the chosen destination.
Electronic road map for car drivers Twenty-five years ago, the TravelPilot IDS utilized dead reckoning navigation to get a precise position fix within the digitized road network. The system used information from specially installed wheel sensors to work out which route sections the car had driven along, and it detected changes in direction by means of an electronic compass with a magnetic gyroscope. This dead reckoning method was additionally supported by the data included in the road maps. The road layouts of major German cities and the interconnecting road network were stored on a compact disc.
Bosch initially introduced the TravelPilot IDS in Germany in 1989. To increase the precision with which the vehicle's position could be determined, the system was upgraded in 1993 with a receiver for the Global Positioning System (GPS). During the early years, the Bosch navigation systems were utilized in many areas, though mainly for professional use. At the time, the Los Angeles Fire Department, for instance, equipped more than 400 of its vehicles with the Bosch navigation system to get them to their destination quickly and safely.
Spoken and visual driving recommendations In the mid-nineties, navigation systems were then already capable of providing drivers with directions by means of easy-to-understand voice output and directional symbols. Enhanced software applications developed by Bosch engineers that offered drivers specific information about tourist, cultural and gastronomic destinations and about parking facilities, filling stations and repair workshops were a source of fresh impetus in the field of car navigation technology at the time.
In 1998, Bosch development engineers made navigation dynamic. The systems could then for the first time process traffic reports from the Traffic Message Channel (TMC), which allowed them to react to traffic problems in good time, thus boosting the convenience and safety of car driving still further. With this application, Bosch became the first manufacturer to demonstrate the now-often-cited benefits of connecting cars to the outside world.
Portable navigation devices offer straightforward plug and play The generation of devices emerging during the first decade of the new millennium was strongly characterized by the newly developed market segment of Portable Navigation Devices (PND). These compact units could be installed in any vehicle quickly and easily and featured convenient touch-screen operation. Bosch's mobile generation already offered early driver assistance functions, like graphical and acoustic speed-limit warnings.
Convenient route planning in connected infotainment systems Vehicle navigation has meanwhile typically become a component of connected infotainment systems offering a wide variety of options.
The latest map-based navigation systems from Bosch now provide two- and three-dimensional views, an economic route option for saving fuel, lane guidance, a curve warning assistant, and connectivity to apps that support navigation functions. In addition to this, drivers can also conveniently plan their route on their desktop PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone and send the destination address to the system in their car directly from home.
Navigation as a sensor - the electronic horizon Bosch navigation also provides an 'electronic horizon', that is to say, the systems look far ahead and supply information about the course of the route being driven, such as details about bends, road gradients, and driving lanes. This allows Bosch navigation systems to recommend routes that are particularly energy-efficient - thus encouraging fuel-efficient motoring - and, in the case of electric vehicles, enables them to calculate the remaining range with considerably greater accuracy.
Navigation data optimizes aggregate energy consumption In the spring of 2014, Bosch developed a system for hybrid vehicles described as 'an innovative technology for reducing CO2 emissions'. The system uses navigation data to adjust the vehicle's battery charge state. The technology that the EU Commission furthermore recognizes as an 'eco-innovation' provides a benefit that can be used as a credit to offset the passenger car fleet consumption of the respective automobile manufacturer.
Using topographical navigation data such as uphill and downhill gradients and bend radii, the Bosch system can determine which sections of the route are suitable for recovering braking energy. Long before the vehicle reaches these sections, the system adjusts the level of battery charge based on the navigation data so that optimum recuperation will be possible. 'With the intelligent link between extended navigation data and special powertrain control algorithms, we ensure that both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced significantly,' says Manfred Baden, President of the Bosch Car Multimedia division.
Navigation systems can thus nowadays not only provide convenient and safe route guidance from A to B - as they already could 25 years ago - but are also capable of optimizing the vehicle's aggregate energy consumption.

CPA2Biz.com's recent customer review program got a boost from an e-mail campaign and a quarterly raffle for a free iPod for customers who submit a review of the site's accounting and finance products and publications.
CPA2Biz.com has seen a boost to its customer review campaign since adding a raffle for a free iPod every quarter for customers who submit a review of the site's products and publications for accounting and finance professionals.
The retailer says it has received positive responses from an e-mail campaign that distributed short, clear e-mails about the iPod offer. The campaign produced a 47% open rate, a 7% click-through rate and a 2.5% response rate from customers submitting a review, according to Melissa Rothchild, vice president of marketing at CPA2Biz.com.
"We see quite a lot of value in customer reviews. It gets customers more engaged with our site, more incentivized to come back to see their reviews posted and to read new reviews from their peers," Rothchild says. "We feel customers can describe some of our very technical products in a way we cannot, and this helps with sales."
CPA2Biz.com, No. 345 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, worked with Bazaarvoice Inc. to post reviews on the site within 24 to 48 hours of submission, Rothchild says.
With Google devoting less space to search ads, those positions become more valuable than ever.

A-Class attacks fresh niche
Relevant offers
Those who remember the original A-Class Mercedes-Benz as a practical, city-sized car with some clever packaging features might need to rethink their perceptions a little, for the new model, the third car to wear the "A" monicker, is a whole different kettle of fish.
It is still practical and it remains a useful price of kit for the into-town commute, but it is an altogether more sporty wee hatchback now, whose new attack target is immediately obvious: Audi's A1 and A3, the BMW 1-series and possibly the Lexus C200.
It has other duties too. With a starting price of $46,900, it's also inexpensive enough to be a link between ordinary Japanese cars and quality Europeans.
To begin with, the A-Class sticker is so close to the thick end of Corolla, Mazda3 and Focus country, that those who haven't set foot in a Mercedes-Benz showroom for a while might be quite surprised.
Make it a lease prospect and the incremental differences are remarkably friendly.
Thus the A-Class links with its slightly larger B-class sibling, which starts at just under $50,000 as a "walk-in model", and Ben Giffin recounts: "People can walk in, having seen the advertised A-Class sticker, and drive out with a C-class, because they seriously didn't know they could afford it."
This is already the case in Australia, where the C-class, Mercedes-Benz's least expensive sedan (from $69,990 in New Zealand), sells in similar numbers to the Mazda6 and Ford Mondeo.
"2013 will be one of the most important years in our brand's New Zealand history," says Mercedes-Benz's new managing director for Australia-Pacific, Horst von Sanden.
"We will continue to do what we do well and that's to guide the New Zealand prestige market in a direction that makes our vehicles and technology accessible to a broader demographic."
The new A-Class engine lineup ranges from 90 kilowatts to 155kW, with standard equipment across the lineup of alloy wheels, including radar-based collision prevention assist and a reversing camera, as well as brake assist, which is initiated to bring the car to a halt quickly and safely as soon as the driver operates the brake pedal decisively.
There is also attention assist, which detects drowsiness, across the lineup, as well as pre-safe, a preventive occupant-protection system that tensions seat belts, closes side windows and the sunroof, and adjusts the power seats to an ideal position for maximum effectiveness of the restraint systems should a collision be deemed imminent.
Every A-Class protects its passengers with nine airbags.
The $46,900 starter car is the A 180 Blue Efficiency model, with a seven-slot, dual clutch, paddle-shift automatic transmission and Eco start-stop function. Its 1595cc engine makes 90kW and is rated at 5.8 litres per 100km and 135g/km of carbon dioxide in the European Union combined cycle.
As well as standard alloy wheels, the A 180 gets a standard Audio 20 CD system, an MP3-capable CD player with USB connector and direct iPod connectivity.
The settings for the air-conditioning are also displayed on the telematics screen, as well as text messages and fuel consumption. The Bluetooth function allows a mobile phone to be automatically transferred and wireless music reproduction is possible from Bluetooth-capable devices.
A step up from the A 180 is the $54,900 A 200, which uses the same engine, but uprated to 115kW. It still manages 6.1L/100km and a 141g/km carbon dioxide reading.
For the same price, the A 250 model is a turbodiesel of 1796cc volume. Its EU economy figure is 4.6L/100km, and the carbon-dioxide rating 121g/km.
The range-topping $64,900 A 250 Sport can be recognised by its gloss-black finished, five-spoke 18-inch AMG light-alloy wheels and red-painted brake callipers.
The turbocharged 1991cc engine is rated 155kW, while its EU economy and emissions ratings are 6.6L/100km and 152g/km, respectively. The Sport also gets a special AMG-developed front axle and suspension setup and an exhaust system tuned to make the right kind of noise for a performance-modified car.
Optional extras include the Becker Map Pilot navigation solution, at $1590, which uses the car's Audio 20 screen for visuals and the car's speakers for instructions.
The Map Pilot can be updated via an internet portal.
Cabin options, fabric, leather and wheel choices, as well as available body colours and a Vision package, which includes a full-length glass and shade roof, mean that A-Class aspirants need never see an identical car on the road and this has always been a feature of upper echelon Mercedes-Benz.
Options consist of packages ranging from $590 to $3190. They range from a Command package, a cosmetic Night package, as well as two kinds of AMG sport kits.
There's also the Exclusive package, a combination of leather, heated seats and thermotronic dual-zone air-conditioning and a Driving Assistance bundle with radar cruise control, blind-spot assistance and lane-keeping help.
Cabin space allows rear seat occupants of 1.90 metres to sit behind front seat users of similar height without feeling cramped, although rear head room is not the tallest. The boot is uncluttered but usefully sized, while the whole standard of fit and finish is right up there with full-sized rear-driven Mercedes-Benzes.
There are some examples of the A-Class in New Zealand already for demonstration purposes and customer orders are being encouraged for delivery early next year.
We will do a full road test as soon as we get our hands on an A-Class long enough to put some serious kilometres on it.
You can see the A-Class in the All Stars road show, a touring troupe of Mercedes-Benzes, comprising two A-Class models and a CLS Shooting Brake straight from the Australian International Motor Show, along with an SLK 55 AMG and SL 500.
The road show visits authorised Mercedes-Benz dealerships to offer sneak peeks at these vehicles, which will shape Mercedes-Benz here for 2013.
The all stars dealer schedule includes:
Ingham Prestige Hamilton: November 23-25.
Mercedes-Benz Wellington: November 28-29.
Armstrong Prestige Christchurch: December 7-10.
Armstrong Prestige Dunedin: December 14-16.
Houston Prestige Nelson: December 20-26.
Mercedes-Benz Hawke's Bay: January 11-13.
Ingham Sears Tauranga: January 18-20.

Shari Diane says:
"I love Gail. I've never met her in person, but I know that she is an amazing, caring, courageous woman with a huge heart. I wish I lived nearby so I could hug her in person. Or go to Flickr meets. And good restaurants. And hang with Hugh, her cat. Gail's eye for photography is beautiful . . . she takes simple subjects and makes them shine. I always look forward to new shots of Hugh or her travels, knowing that they'll transport me to another place for a moment. Thank you Gail, for being such a great photographer, person, blogfriend, and mommy of Hugh! I understand perfectly why David loved you so deeply. :-)"

Kevin says:
"I met Gail (virtually) as she was prepping for a trip to Spain a couple years ago, and when she came back and posted her gorgeous photos from Málaga, it was like she magically picked some of my favorite visual memories from there and let me see them all over again. Since then I've enjoyed more of her photos, her writing writing, and her humour. Truly a gem!

"I really admire Gail. She's strong, courageous, a good listener, fun to be with, and very caring.
I'm glad flickr brought us together in Vancouver to become such good friends in a short amount of time. She's a terrific photographer, and was one of the many women who helped make Vandigicam the wonderful group it's become."

Tanya in BNE says:
"Gail has been a photo-inspiration to me since I started snooping through her blog. Her eye for details, her amazing shots and the beauty that she finds in the smallest things make me want to learn more about photography. I want to take pretty night shots too! :(
She has been a great help in many ways and it has been a pleasure getting to know her through emails, flickr, orkut and the like. One day...I will meet this amazing woman. I swear it."
April 25th, 2005
Michaeeel says:
"Gail is solid as a rock in my flickr-existence! Her pictures are great and I always look for new ones, but I think that what makes her special is that she deserves being called one of the most friendly flickr members of all!"

AviatorDave [admin'ed by gailatlarge] says:
"Gail has a wonderful, natural eye and a voracious appetite for learning and exploring. Her photography is an expression of this; she has a gift for seeing the adventure and essence in life.
Plus, she's been everywhere! It was her travel pictures that first moved me to write to her.
I always love seeing the world through Gail's eyes. It's one of the many joys of being with her."
February 20th, 2005
Velvet G says:
"Gail was the very first person to email me about my pictures. Not only does she give out encouragement she takes a mean photo too.
I always look forward to her new pictures and the quality of them never disappoints. Her night shots inspired me to learn how to shoot my own and I hope that someday I can achieve the quality that she already has now.
Great photographer. Great person."

For those still thinking about voting for the Traitor..the Ultimate A-Z guide to Oblabla's first term.
Poster Handle

Anyone voting is a traitor PERIOD...
-Ouch...that one hurts doesn't it?-
I wouldn't expect those who vote to actually DO THEIR HOMEWORK to find out WHY they are traitors to this world though. That would require effort and volition.
Instead...voters would just rather dive right into the soap opera that they're presented with rather than LEARN the nature of what they participate in. Its much easier than actually "READING" something.
Yes..we could just sit on our asses, not vote and pray to god Obama goes bye bye. That's genius right there.
He needs to be booted out. I'll vote for Romney. You continue to be passive.
I'm familiar with the bullshit you spew on a regular basis on this forum. Save it for someone else.
You VOTE...I'm so very proud of you. YOU FINALLY FIGURED OUT the quotient to win and CHANGE THIS ALL AROUND...
Now tell me, did that plan work 4 years ago? Even better, 4 years before that...did that CHANGE THINGS AROUND? Hey...but, let me ask...4 years before that, where were we again? And how about 4 years before that???
You guys couldn't figure out a pattern if you were given the solution directly and then told to work backwards.
And we wonder why Americans continue to FAIL at mathematics. Geniuses like THIS ONE.
Your INABILITY to roll up your sleeves and arrest those responsible for destroying your economy has put you here. Your INABILITY to do what our forefathers did is the reason why you will ALWAYS remain slave-meat. You punch your time cards everyday, vote every 4 years and complain 365 days a year in between. You didn't even figure it out WHEN THEY WAVED IT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACES that they can change the results of those diebold machines with the click of a button. You guys are IGNORANT.
Tell me...what does THIS IMPLY to someone like you?

text: Compliance Court Approves Verizon Pension Buyout December 7, 2012 (PLANSPONSOR.com) – A federal district court has rejected the attempt by Verizon retirees to stop the transfer of certain Verizon pension obligations to Prudential. By Kristen Heinzinger email@example.com | December 07, 2012 Chief Judge Sidney A. Fitzwater of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas found it is not likely the retirees would prevail in their lawsuit claiming that Verizon violated its fiduciary duties under the Employee Retirement Security Act (ERISA) by not disclosing in the pension plan's summary plan document (SPD) that it retained the right to transfer retirees' accounts to an annuity. Fitzwater noted that the SPD is only required to explain current plan terms, not changes that may occur. While the document must notify participants of events that could result in a loss of benefits, Fitzwater said the retirees did not show the annuity transaction would result in a loss of benefits because the annuity contract will provide for payment of benefits in the same form as under the plan.Fitzwater also pointed out that the pension plan provides that Verizon "reserves the unlimited right to amend, modify, suspend, terminate or partially terminate the plan at any time, at [its] discretion, with or without advance notice to participants." The plan also does not restrict how Verizon provides benefits, provided that contributions, investment income, and the like are used exclusively for intended beneficiaries.Furthermore, the court ruled that the fiduciary duty claim under ERISA fails "because it is not a fiduciary act to amend or terminate a pension plan." Although there is a fiduciary obligation in selecting an appropriate annuity provider, the decision to amend a plan to purchase an annuity does not implicate a plan fiduciary's duties, the opinion stated. Additionally, the opinion said, the retirees point to no authority, and the court found none, that requires treating an annuity purchase as an investment that would be subject to the fiduciary duty to diversify investments.The retirees also contended that the annuity contract violates ERISA by discriminating against the 41,000 retirees whose pensions would be removed from the plan and transferred to the Prudential annuity contract, because the annuity contract excludes 6,000 other similarly situated management retirees and at least 50,000 other participants. Verizon explained it chose this group of retirees because it simplified the contract to include only retirees with fixed benefit payments who had been receiving them since at least January 1, 2010. Fitzwater decided that the retirees did not establish that Verizon had a specific intent to deprive the 41,000 retirees of a right under the plan or ERISA.Two retirees, William Lee and Joanne McPartlin, filed a lawsuit in November against the Verizon and Prudential transaction (see "Lawsuit Seeks to Stop Verizon Pension Buyout"), claiming that their pension benefits would no longer be protected by ERISA and the Pension Benefits Guaranty Corporation (PBGC). The district court's opinion is here.

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch today at the Ship, beef was cooked lovely and chicken was huge. The staff was attentive, can't fault it one bit. Will definitely be back
Met with friends for dinner in the garden. Everyone very happy with their meal, especially the Southern Seafood Gumbo from the specials board. Attentive waiting staff and good food and drink. All very pleasant. Nothing outstanding, but everything to a very good standard. Its definitely not your average pub food and so priced accordingly, but we felt it was worth... 更多
We took advantage of the glorious weather to have lunch in the pleasant garden at the rear of the Ship. Moules frites were accompanied by a very pleasant Chardonnay which turned into several glasses as we whiled away a very pleasant afternoon. Table service was an added bonus which just left us to lazily enjoy everything. Great food and drink,... 更多
6 couples on a celebration weekend went for dinner on a Friday night. Made very welcome with a long cosy table. Service was excellent and the food came at the required pace. Menu was extensive enough for everyone's tastes and was cooked well. Waiting staff joined in our celebration which added to the enjoyment which the band then added to.... 更多
Visited on Saturday lunchtime. The restaurant was busy but the atmosphere was relaxed. Food was superb - moules marinière was first class. Waiting staff were friendly and helpful. The music in the background was at just the right level - audible but not intrusive. Nice outside area at the rear of the pub to relax after food. Will definitely return.
Suitably impressed with this place after a visit with a friend for lunch. The garden is quite small but we managed to get a table in the sun. I really liked the way they dressed up the space with a large mirror and plants. The food is nice enough and I was happy with the size of the portions- the... 更多
From the outside it looks its age, not in a derogatory way but because it has age. Inside it is pleasant and a seat in the bay window on a market day (Monday) is very interesting. It has some fine furniture that would suit a variety of tastes. The staff were pleasant and the service was good. There was piped... 更多
Lovely food but £5.95 for a bowl of soup even though it was tasty is a no no. My wife had the kofta with hot chilli sauce was well presented and she gave the thumbs up and enjoyed every bit.. Again the two salads we had were very well presented I had the crayfish tails and smoked salmon salad which... 更多
I went to the Ship on 23 June in the evening. We have recently started going there regularly for last few months or so. It seemed to be under a new manager and the food was simply excellent with great service and definitely a bistro feel with great service. Tonight I ordered a Lamb dish from their standard evening menu-... 更多

The invitation to serve as an unofficial spy network and file of online reports of abusive or negligent nannies is a natural offshoot of truck bumper stickers reading, "How's my driving?" This fifteen-month old site provides some measure of comfort to parents while alerting caregivers that "Big Mother is watching." Being out of nanny camera range doesn't mean they'll get away with smacking a toddler or stuffing him with Fritos.
The website is most popular in New York, where nannies are so often in public areas. When our son was young and being transported to play dates, I would happily have put a "How's my driving?" bumper sticker on our car. We not only gave prospective nannies driving tests, but provided lessons to Liz from Great Britain as she'd never driven on the right side of the road. After hiring her, we discovered we should have given her a sobriety test.
It takes little urging, okay none, for me to offer my opinion. Last night I spoke up about the olive oil, the only flaw at a new restaurant we tried. A friend once teased that I carry an imaginary clipboard and red pencil. I always welcome a chance to weigh in, reviewing hotels on Trip Advisor and assessing appliances on Epinions. On my AOL Buddy List is the CEO of my health club, to whom I report regularly. A typical e-mail is, "The TV's still aren't working and a trainer left a wad of chewing gum on the treadmill."
Will this deputizing catch on? Might it lead to:

Sheep market cancelled as farmers make the most of great seasonLauren Waldhuter, Friday July 18, 2014 - 13:07 EST
One of the best seasons in living-memory for South Australian sheep producers, has seen a regular sheep market cancelled for the first time in decades.
The Jamestown Market is the main sale for farmers in the north and west of the state, but with ample feed around farmers aren't selling any sheep.
Landmark auctioneer Don Cullen says he hasn't seen a market cancelled in the 14 years he's been involved.
"There's more people out there trying to buy sheep than trying to sell sheep," Mr Cullen said.
"We're actually finding we're looking at sheep further afield into New South Wales and Queensland to have a crack at them and ease the feed burden.
"We've got ample feed and not enough stock."
Sandy Martin, from Baratta Station, says he hasn't seen the paddocks looking this good since the late 1980s.
"I don't think you'd see the country in better condition at this time of the year," Mr Martin said.
"It's that advanced that you'd probably think it's the first week in September."
Farmers in the low-rainfall region are used to tough conditions and Mr Martin says this often means they have to de-stock.
"In 2012, the season cut off in the spring and then it didn't rain from the end of September to May 2013.
"The ewes were probably down in condition and didn't join, which created bad lambing percentages last year.
"Then we had a really hot summer and a lot of people ran out of water and sold a lot of stock."
He says this year lambing percentages are up, and with 'feed up to your knees' farmers are holding onto their sheep.
Controversy has surrounded the Jamestown saleyards, which only sell sheep from Landmark and Elders.
Some groups say independent companies should also be allowed to sell.
Mr Martin says this would be a good thing for buyers and sellers.
"It creates more competition and would be better off for everyone.
"It would make more money, everyone's happy and it would be better off for the whole marketing system of the sheep sale job."

ShopPBS.com had a fundamental problem two years ago when shoppers couldn't find products on the web site. An 18-month site redesign process improved orders and reduced page views by 4.7%, indicating that shoppers were finding items more quickly.
What's one of the worst things that can happen on an e-commerce site? For ShopPBS.com it was a navigation process that stood between shoppers and products.
ShopPBS.com had a fundamental problem two years ago when shoppers couldn't locate products on the web site. An 18-month site redesign process culminated last July with a 24.8% increase in revenue and 4.7% fewer page views, an indication that shoppers were finding items more quickly, says Andrea Downing, vice president of home entertainment and partnerships for Public Broadcasting Service.
Of that 18 months spent on the redesign, most of the time was spent on planning. "The execution went quickly," Downing told attendees at the 2008 Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition in Chicago. She oversees video product distribution channels, including web, catalog, stores and education, for PBS, which is No. 380 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide.
Because site design is really never complete, Downing recommends preparing a road map for specific redesign projects and being prepared to make tough choices. "You're never done. As soon as you launch you should look at what's coming down the road," Downing says.
The redesign produced a 31.4% increase in orders and a 3.4% lift in checkouts, Downing says. Visitors to the site were up 9.5% last year.
One of the keys to PBS.com's successful site redesign was improved taxonomy. Upgrades were built on three years of site traffic analysis, after which products were organized into more recognizable categories.
The new taxonomy uses parametric navigation, which enables sorting by such attributes as price and video content topic. The outcome: the time it takes for shoppers to find products was slashed by 50%.
With Google devoting less space to search ads, those positions become more valuable than ever.

I'm taking Christmas off, which means no column the day after. I don't usually take off for this particular holiday, but this year I'm, frankly, quite tired: exhausted, really. I need a break, however brief: I'll be back on Friday.
I don't know how many Christmas columns I've written over the years, but it is surely more than a baker's dozen. As I recall, they all have pretty much the same tone, exemplified by the opening paragraph of my 2011 Yuletide missive;
"As the world celebrates the birthday of the Prince of Peace, the Lord of War looms large over the land. The shrikes and talking heads are screeching for Iranian blood, and there are ominous signs in the stars. The war god's acolytes flood the airwaves with "a complex of vaunting and fear," as an old prophet once put it, and men of peace are disdained as 'weak,' 'dangerous,' and 'extreme.'"
As you can see, nothing has changed since last year: all I had to do was update the links.
To all my regular readers, who have stuck with me all these years (yes, many for more than a decade!), and to those more recent arrivals, of which there are many: thanks for all your support, moral and financial, over the past year. Without you we wouldn't be here. And a special thanks to those of you who signed the White House petition in support of Chuck Hagel, because that's what I really want from Santa this year — thousands and thousands of signatures.

Technical Sgt. Chad Boley has been stationed at Ramstein Air Base in Germany for three and a half years, flying wounded soldiers from the Southwest Asia theater to either Germany or stateside. During that stretch, Boley has been separated from his family for the past two years. So when the chance came to surprise them with a visit, he seized it.
That opportunity was provided by the USO and NASCAR on Sunday, where Boley would be reunited with his wife, Stephanie and his family of two boys, Austin and Cameron, and two girls, Gwendolyn and Noelle and at the AdvoCare 500 at Phoenix International Raceway.
"To be able to reconnect with my family will mean the world to me," Boley wrote prior to the event. "I have for so long done everything to do my country proud and bring hope to families whom have injured soldiers, that I have partially neglected my own. With this opportunity to see them again just makes the value of family that much stronger and more clear."
Boley was treated to a day at the track for a real "behind the scenes" NASCAR experience. He blasted around the track in a pace car, toured the ESPN on-site compound, attended the driver meeting and went shopping for NASCAR memorabilia for his kids, all signed by the drivers. Later, Boley dropped the green flag to signal the start of the race.
His family received a similar experience and got to take photos with all the drivers including Danica Patrick and several USO tour veteran drivers.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Most of the pre-Masters hype surrounded Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.
AUGUSTA, Ga. – Some Day 1 statistics to sink your teeth into:
AUGUSTA, Ga. – With his words and then his play, Lee Westwood shot down the notion Thursday that this Masters was a two-horse race.
AUGUSTA, Ga. – It's a title Lee Westwood wears almost as well as one of those tailored golf shirts, without even a hint of regret or resentment.
With an opening round of 5-under 67, world No. 3 Lee Westwood leads the 76th Masters by a shot after Thursday's first round.
