Visit to Colorado-Based Electric Motor Plant by Acting Under Secretary of Energy Arun Majumdar Highlights Recovery Act Investment
Following Secretary of Energy Steven Chu's visit to the Detroit Auto Show where he praised the actions of the Obama Administration to help revive the U.S. auto industry, Acting Undersecretary of Energy Arun Majumdar today toured UQM Technologies' electric drive component manufacturing facilities in Longmont, Colorado. The company's recent announcement that it would provide electric propulsion systems for 100 UPS Delivery Vehicles to be deployed in early 2012, coupled with recent actions by the Obama Administration to revive the U.S. auto industry, illustrate how support for both manufacturing and research and development is contributing to the revitalization of America's auto industry.
When completed, the Longmont plant will have the capacity to produce electric drive systems and power electronics and processors for up to 120,000 electric drive vehicles each year. The purchase and renovation of the 130,000 square foot facility was made possible by a competitively-awarded $45 million grant from the Recovery Act through the Department of Energy (DOE), which UQM matched dollar for dollar.
"Facilities like this one here in Longmont showcase the importance of investments in advanced technology component and vehicle manufacturing made by the Administration through the Recovery Act," said Dr. Majumdar. "At the Department of Energy, we are strongly committed to making the United States a leader in producing the advanced technology components and vehicles that are creating manufacturing jobs in Colorado and across the country."
"We are pleased to have Dr. Majumdar visit our facility to see first-hand the results of our successful collaboration," said Eric R. Ridenour, UQM Technologies President and Chief Executive Officer. "The support of the DOE through the Small Business Innovation Research Program to commercialization funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has helped UQM build upon our tremendous background and experience in the electrification market helping accelerate the viability of electric and hybrid electric vehicles."
With its facility, UQM has been able to establish supply partnerships with a number of major companies, including Coda Automotive, Eaton Corporation, and Lippert Components. The plant has the flexibility to produce systems for light-duty hybrid, plug-in hybrid electric, and all-electric passenger vehicles, as well as heavy-duty hybrid trucks and buses.
The Recovery Act award is only a part of DOE's longstanding collaboration with UQM, which dates back to the 1990s and includes competitive awards as well as grants through the Small Business Innovation Research program. Most recently, the Department of Energy awarded the company a $3 million competitive, cost-shared award to develop non-rare-earth magnet electric motors to support more efficient, cheaper electric vehicle technologies.

Do you like gallery tools such as Flickr, but want to control your photos, or get rid of any of their limits? Now you can have your own custom gallery using PHP, a script called Picy, and 5 minutes of your time!
Before you begin, you'll need a web host that supports PHP with GD, GD2, or ImageMagick. If you don't have a web host you can pick one up cheap at a small orange (US$25 a year, US$35 a year with a domain, hard to beat that). If you're too cheap to buy hosting (or want the geekiness that goes with having your own server) it's possible to set up your own web server for free using just free software.
If you want to set up your own server make sure (if you have a router or firewall) that the port 80 is forwarding to your PC and open. Windows users can download WAMP server and install it to get an instant web server. GNU/Linux users will need to follow their distros instructions to install Apache and PHP.
Minutes 1-3: Once you have a web server for your gallery, upload all of your photos to a folder on the server (perhaps
/photos). If you have your own server, simply move it to that directory in your public HTML folder (for WAMP, click on the WAMP icon in the system tray and click "www directory"). When using FTP the public files are using under "public_html" or "www" in the FTP folder list.
If you are using Picy with the PHP GD extension (with WAMP you can enable GD by clicking the WAMP icon in the system tray, selecting "PHP Extensions" and checking the item called "php_gd2.dll", most web hosts will already have GD enabled, if not they will usually be happy to enable it if you send them an email) you'll need to ensure your photos are in PNG, GIF or JPEG/JPG format. Most digital cameras and scanners use JPEG, so you should be all set. If you need to change the format of a lot of photos (such as from .tiff or .raw formats) you can use something like XnView (free for non-commercial use) to batch covert them to JPEG.
Minute 4: Now that you have all your pictures in a single folder, it's time to install the Picy script (Creative Commons licensed). Head over to the Picy homepage and download the latest version. Then extract it onto your PC and rename the
picy.php script to
Minute 5: Finally upload
index.php to the same directory on your server where you uploaded your photos (
/photos in my example). Now just point your web browser to the folder your photos are in on the server (for WAMP users just go to
http://localhost/photos) and see your pictures in action!
Advanced Stuff: If you want to custom configure your Picy gallery, open the "picy_manual.html" file in the Picy package you downloaded and look over the configuration section.
That's it! Yet another cool project you can do with free software in less than 5 minutes. See you next week!
I thougt you were talking of a real contender for Flickr!
"Do you like gallery tools such as Flickr, but want to control your photos, or get rid of any of their limits?"
Sorry to ask but, how in earth will Picy be a contender of Flickr?
There are at least 10 that are as easy as this to install, with or without database backend (sometimes with both like Singapore), in PHP, Perl, Python or Ruby and that are really very powerfull and able to be thought as potential Flickr replacements.
A few examples, some with almost the same features than Picy but, at least, much better presented:
- Pyxy
- Ajallerix
- 2bGal
- Coppermine
- Menalto Gallery
- ZenPhoto
- gCards (not quite a Gallery)
- Singapore
- Snaps!
- Simple Picture Gallery Manager
- PhotoStack
- Instant Photo Gallery
- Plogger
Not even to mention the several integrations from some of the above galleries with the blog system Wordpress or any other integrations that turn many of this applications full fledge tools coparable with services like Blogger. I just mention three below.
- PhotoBlogger
- PixelPost
- Birch
- FolderBlog
And this is not a "mine is better" flame war. I don't believe in those kind of wars and those links above are not sorted by any particular reason.
Free Software offer us so much variety with upmost quality that the dificulty is what to choose, even in what regards such simple programs like Picy.
This is a good example of a script to make a gallery fast, I agree. But it is not something that we will offer to someone Flickr'ed and non Free Software savvy instead of his/her precious tool. And this magazine, has I understood it, is for the general public, right?
Sorry to say this but yours, although well intended I'm sure, is the kind of article that gives bad name to Free Software when presenting it as something so naive and not at all professional.
Sorry if I sound hursh but my english is not as round as it would be if I knew more of it ;)
Re: I thougt you were talking of a real contender for Flickr!
I'll be sure to mention these in the next column, I wasn't aware most of these existed. Thankfully free software gives extreame diversity, which a dozen plus project for any task.
Thanks for taking the time to respond. Also, I'd like to note I wanted to have this as newbie friendly as possible, and to be a single user solution. For a single user, this can make a nice flickr like gallery from a folder of photos with zero config, even though it it's as powerful as flickr, it has no upload limits :)
Thanks again,
Very common app type
Web photo gallery apps are a dime a dozen, actually. This is one of the most common things you'll see if you regularly scan Freshmeat announcements. Another is full-fledged CMS systems.
I used Zope, combined with my own 'VarImage' scalable image object for Zope to create my own highly flexible photo galleries. It's so simple to make a gallery using a combination of Zope Folders and VarImage that it's hardly worth trying to package it as a gallery product (not to mention the huge amount of competition). I liked the flexibility of writing the page templates and scripts for each site, so I never saw much point in creating a "gallery product". I use VarImage everywhere, though, and have set my Zope instances up to use it as the default image object.
(You can get VarImage from my SourceForge site:
VarImage Release Page ).
I originally created it as a utility for a CMS system I was working on, but it was easy to package and a few other people have found it useful. Basically, it treats the image as a directory name, and the file name within the directory is actually a command to generate the image. It caches command calls internally in a fairly conservative way so that regens happen almost never in practice (but are handled automatically if you change the referring page). Version 2.4 added a number of limiting features to avoid obvious DoS attacks and other abuses. It also got the referer blocking to work correctly. There's a plugin architecture so you can define new operations that can be performed. The distribution includes obvious things like scaling, cropping, the foveal cropping algorithm (the main use for galleries), color conversions, composition with "sub-images", drop-shadow, and
so-on. The referer blocking can throw an error, deliver an alternate image, or deliver the same image with reduced size, color, or a watermark.
Of course, it only works in Zope, but it's handy. ;-)
Have you noticed how one can
Have you noticed how one can have a website with a gallery, Twitter live, blog, forum or whatever else one might desire...all for free? The Internet has come a long way. I really like the gallery templates and they seem pretty easy to embed. Thanks for the article.

SANTA CLARA -- If rookie free safety Eric Reid wants to prove he'll be ready to face Aaron Rodgers in Week 1, he can start by making a strong showing against another NFL icon Thursday.
Reid wants to test his skills against quarterback Peyton Manning in the 49ers' exhibition opener against the Denver Broncos at Candlestick Park.
"That would be awesome," Reid said before practice Monday. "I think that would set the tone for my career, going against one of the best quarterbacks in the National Football League."
Reid, the 49ers' first-round draft pick (18th overall), has impressed coaches and veterans as a quick learner at training camp. But it's another thing to match wits with Manning, the 12-time Pro Bowler and four-time MVP.
As strong safety Donte Whitner said when asked about Reid: "The potential is always there. But potential can get you beat (if you're) being rushed out there and playing against some of the best quarterbacks in the National Football League. You're not ready, experience-wise."
The starters Thursday are expected to make only blink-and-you'll-miss-them appearances, which means Manning might play a series or two.
Whether Reid will be on the field at the same time remains in question. There's no guarantee he'll start. The 6-foot-1, 213-pounder out of LSU is in a four-way competition to replace Dashon Goldson as the starting free safety, with Craig Dahl, Trenton Robinson and C.J. Spillman also in the mix.
All four have spent time with the No. 1 unit as part of an even rotation. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has warned that nothing is given, not even to first-round picks.
Reid understands.
"That's Coach's decision," he said. "Right now, I'm just worried about learning my plays, going out to practice today and getting better."
Identifying an heir to Goldson, a two-time Pro Bowler, is among the most pressing camp questions for the defending NFC champs. Now also reeling from the loss of third cornerback Chris Culliver (ACL tear), the 49ers secondary will be challenged as early as the regular-season opener against Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers on Sept. 8 at Candlestick Park.
Rodgers threw 39 touchdown passes and led the NFL with a 108.0 passer rating last season. After that, the 49ers get two more notable quarterbacks: Seattle's Russell Wilson and Indianapolis' Andrew Luck.
That's why Whitner would love to see Reid get a taste of what's coming. Facing a master like Manning would be a nice sneak preview.
"I think it would be great," the eighth-year veteran said. "The only thing it might cost you is a little confidence if you get beat. But it won't cost you in the win column, and this is where he's going to gain his experience."
Whitner got his own brutal welcome while with the Buffalo Bills in 2006. In his NFL debut, he faced Tom Brady of the New England Patriots in the regular-season opener. Whitner had a fourth-quarter interception in that game.
"I was thrown into the fire," Whitner said. "Being a top-10 pick, I had to go out there and start Day 1, Game 1 against Tom Brady. So I understand what Eric's going through. And he's trying to be out there Day 1, Game 1 against Aaron Rodgers. It's tough."
In those days, Whitner learned at the feet of savvy veteran Troy Vincent. Now, Reid is learning from Whitner, who sits next to Reid at meetings.
The rookie said: "He's a great guy to work with. He's on top of his plays all the time." Reid also likes that Whitner doesn't act like he knows everything. The veteran is quick to clarify things with coaches if a scheme gets fuzzy.
"For me, that's good, knowing that a guy who has been in the system for a couple of years isn't scared to ask coach a question if he's confused," Reid said. "It lets me know that it's OK if I don't understand something."
McVay's tenure with the 49ers began in 1979 as director of player personnel with then-coach Bill Walsh. McVay served as general manager from 1983-94 and returned to the franchise as the director of football operations from 1999-2003.
McVay, 82, will become the hall's 24th inductee Oct. 12, and he will be recognized at halftime of the next day's game against the Arizona Cardinals.

On behalf of myself and others who attended the Eagle Town Board meeting of April 24, I would like to make a few comments and a request.
The meeting was scheduled for very important discussion of the Haymeadow proposal, but in fact what happened was the meeting became monopolized by Eagle River Station supporters who campaigned their cause under the guise of public comment, with a mission of feeding the press.
Public comment on ERS closed weeks ago, however, public comment on Haymeadow traffic, which was the main event of the agenda, began very late on Tuesday April 24 after most sensible people had gone home.
There is another Haymeadow meeting on May 8, again addressing the very important topic of traffic. I would like to request that this meeting be committed to hearing mainly this subject, or others relating to Haymeadow.
I understand the necessity for people to comment on items not on the agenda. However, the town board made their decision on Eagle River Station weeks ago, and it will now go to a vote of the people who will decide the issue. I would ask the town board to take control of their meetings and suggest to the vocal supporters of Eagle River Station to campaign on the radio, TV, newspapers, however they wish. But it serves no purpose, except theirs, to hear their opinions and objections over and over again during what should be productive time for the board and citizens on other issues.
As a resident of Brush Creek concerned for its future, I like others, would appreciate our due time in town hall. Hopefully some time before 9 p.m. on meeting evenings.
I think it could be simply said that the town board has given its vote of approval to ERS. The rest is up to the people to either support or oppose it, in the court of public opinion on May 22. Not repetitively argued during meetings intended to hear other important town business.
Thank you for considering my suggestions, and I hope for more time and discussion regarding Haymeadow, a massive development that will have far more impact on our town with up to 1,000 new residences than a strip mall.

OAKLAND -- Coco Crisp hasn't made a habit of game-winning homers in his decade in the big leagues, so don't take his walk-off solo homer in the 12th inning Thursday as a sign things have changed.
Crisp, who'd patiently walked in three of his first five trips to the plate earlier in the game, went away from his strength and tried to hit the ball into next week.
He did, hitting Hector Noesi's second pitch out over the right field scoreboard for the run that gave the A's a 3-2 win and brought the Mariners' three-game winning streak to start the season to an end.
"On the first pitch I thought, 'Let it fly' and I didn't get it," Crisp said. "Then I thought 'Stop it, go back to the normal swing.' And then I said, 'Nah' and let it fly again."
This one carried deep into the night and made Crisp the first A's leadoff hitter since Eric Byrnes in 2004 to get a walkoff homer. It was, in fact, the first walkoff homer of Crisp's career.
"I kind of went up there thinking that way," Crisp said. "Nine out of 10 times, that's not going to work."
This, evidently, was the 10th time.
Crisp has never been a power hitter of note, but last year he made some changes to his swing as he battled through some injuries and result was a career-best 22 homers, more than he'd hit in the previous two seasons combined.
The center fielder isn't going to start swinging for the fences. But he said "there are times when the count is right when you can think about it."
Manager Bob Melvin said "a little bit of will was involved" in seeing Thursday's game through to a successful conclusion.
And right fielder Josh Reddick, who hit the ball hard three times but only had one hit to show for it, couldn't have agreed more. With 12 innings Thursday added to 18 innings in a doubleheader Wednesday, that was 30 innings of baseball in 36 hours.
"30 innings is a lot of baseball," Reddick said. "It takes a toll on you. So it's nice to get one like this. Coco came through."
The pitching win went to lefty Drew Pomeranz, who threw a 1-2-3 12th inning as A's relievers gave up just one hit and one walk in six innings.
The game pitted a Mariners offense that had scored a majors-best 26 runs in a three-game sweep of Anaheim -- no other team came into Thursday having scored more than 17 times -- against A's pitching staff that had mostly been on top of its game except for the foibles of closer Jim Johnson.
The Oakland pitchers proved their mettle, giving up just two runs, only one of those earned, in the 12 innings. The bullpen threw six shutout innings after Jesse Chavez turned in a nice performance for 91 pitches and six innings in his first start with Oakland and just the third start of his career.
Down 2-0 early, the A's got big triples from Sam Fuld in the fifth and Yoenis Cespedes in the eight to tie the game. Fuld's liner rolled all the way to the fence in right-center, scoring one run and very nearly scoring two. Fuld was called out at the plate. At the urging of manager Bob Melvin, umpire crew chief Fieldin Culbreth ordered a play review to see if Mariners catcher Mike Zunino illegally blocked the plate, but a 3½-minute review saw no problems.
Cespedes' big hit came after Jed Lowrie, batting with two on and no outs in the eighth, grounded into a double play. It could have taken the wind out of the A's sails, but it did not.
"That was a big one from Cespedes, just like the one from Sam earlier," Crisp said.

It's been a long road for Big Daddy Kane, but he's not ready to throw in the towel yet. Regarded as one of modern hip-hop's forefathers, the legendary Brooklyn MC first emerged as part of the Juice Crew before dropping his brilliant debut album, Long Live the Kane, in 1988. His follow up, 1989's It's a Big Daddy Thing, produced classics like "Smooth Operator," "I Get the Job Done" and "Warm It Up, Kane."
During the '90s, he put the spotlight on another Brooklyn MC by the name of Jay-Z, bringing him out at shows and featuring him on his posse cut, "Show & Prove." Back in '89, Kane was what Jay-Z is now. After moving to Raleigh, NC, and focusing on family life, Kane fell back, but never strays too far from the mic.
Speaking of the mic, you might recall a YouTube clip of Kane dropping it a few years ago during a performance. In true Big Daddy Kane fashion, he picked it up and improvised a line about it to the crowd's delight—a testament to the quick wit and confidence that has defined his career.
Prior to his first performance at D.C.'s Howard Theatre, Kane talked about moving to North Carolina, his experience visiting Brooklyn in its current state, Jay-Z's success, and who he listens to now. Twenty-five years after the release of his debut, and he still ain't half-steppin'.
Interview by Julian Kimble (@JRK316)
You were part of the Juice Crew, which was mostly made up of dudes from Queensbridge. What was it like being one of the few Brooklyn guys in the group?
In the beginning there was awkwardness, because me and Shan didn't necessarily get along and Mr. Magic was kind of funny towards me. But eventually we were all close and good friends. I definitely wanted to rep Brooklyn, because pretty much all of them were reppin' Queens—Shan, Shanté, Craig G, G Rap.
With "The Symphony," do you think you guys helped to father the posse cut as it's known today?
I don't know. There was a Krush Groove song with LL, Run–DMC, Kurtis Blow, and I think the Fat Boys. There was Pumpkin & the All-Stars with Jeckyll & Hyde; there was a lot of posse cuts before us. But with what you're saying, I've heard Eric Sermon and a lot of other people say that.
All my memories of Brooklyn are gone. It's not like I can go to the Empire and put my feet up on the back of someone else's seat so the rats don't run across my feet.
How did you get introduced to the teachings of the Five Percent Nation?
It was something that I was around and the people I was around in high school. Basically, it's your surroundings—you're hangin' with cats, you listen to what they're saying and what makes sense. That's when I started getting deep into it.
You moved to Raleigh in 2000. What brought you to the South?
I don't really know. I just thought it was a nice, mellow place and so I just…went. It was nothing in particular.
Were you tired of the fast pace in New York?
I was born and raised in New York, and just because the streets was moving fast don't mean I was moving fast. The pace of New York didn't bother me because I took my time to do what I wanted to do anyway.
What's it like coming back to Brooklyn now?
It's mad different. When people ask me would I move back, I say, "What for?" All my memories are gone. It's not like I can go to the Empire and put my feet up on the back of someone else's seat so the rats don't run across my feet. It's not like I can go see great Kung fu flicks on The Deuce for $1.50. It's not like I can go and get some of that good-ass pizza right there across the street from where Albee Square Mall used to be, or even go to the Albee Square Mall. All my memories in Brooklyn are gone; I go there now and an old movie theater will end up being an organic shop or Blimpie's will end up being a Starbucks.
It has to be crazy how your neighborhood has transformed into something totally different than it was 20 to 30 years ago.
Nah, in all honesty that's not crazy because that's something that always happens after a certain amount of years. That's something you're used to reading about. Your parents and grandparents talk about when this was that, so you expect at some point that you'll go through it, too. That's not crazy at all—what's crazy is when you see thugs on the corner and they got on skinny jeans and Vans sneakers. That's crazy.
Who do you listen to these days?
As far as new artists go, I listen to Joell Ortiz, Saigon. I watch a lot of the YouTube battles: Goodz, Loaded Lux, I'm into stuff like that. Other than that, not really any new material.
You mentioned the skinny jeans and Vans—hip-hop presently has an obsession with nostalgia, especially in terms of style. How does it feel to see kids with high-top fades in the 21st century?
It's like what we were talking about earlier with your parents and grandparents; it's just a part of history. I have a picture of my father wearing one in the '60s, but I ain't gonna lie—it's funny. It's a new name that they call it now, I don't think they say "flat top" anymore and that's what bugs me out. But in the '60s I think they called it a "box cut," right? It's definitely different.

U.S. Cities with the Most Plastic Surgery
See where the most "enhanced" people in America get their nose jobs (and who knows what else)
According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), Americans spent almost $10.5 billion on cosmetic procedures, $6 billion on surgical procedures and $4.5 billion on nonsurgical procedures in 2009 -- down about 3.4 percent from 2008. We looked at detailed breakdowns of those ASAPS numbers, as well as the latest regional stats and member surgeon directories by city from the largest plastic surgery organization in the world -- the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), which is reported to represent 90 percent of board-certified plastic surgeons in the U.S., then compared them to the most recent available U.S. Census stats to calculate the number of plastic surgeons per capita in cities across America.
We then compared our results with those of several recent studies, which used criteria like the amount of plastic surgeons per capita in 2007, the amount of total surgeons, and the amount of surgeries performed -- just to shed more light on our rankings. The result was our very own list of the most "plastic" cities in the U.S. (Important to note: We expect some margin of error due to missing data. Also, we didn't focus on the type of surgery, be it reconstructive, purely cosmetic or gender-related. Oh, and we did rule out cosmetic dentists -- because in our opinion, teeth whitening doesn't count.)

SANTA CLARA -- Coach Jim Harbaugh struts his black sweatshirt and khaki pants on a football field, not a fashion-show runway. Don't expect that to change.
But the 49ers got into the April Fools' Day spirit Monday by announcing that their coach launched his own clothing line: "The Jim Harbaugh Collection."
Anyone looking to purchase Harbaugh's daily attire through the 49ers' website is greeted by the following caption: "Happy April Fools!"
In his two years as the 49ers coach, Harbaugh's rarely worn anything other than a black fleece sweatshirt, khaki pants, black cap and black shoes. That outfit's accessories: a black string around his neck for a whistle and red pen.
Harbaugh credits his consistent wardrobe for "reducing drag," but it's also sent a symbolic message to his team: they're getting the same guy day after day. To emphasize a blue-collar work mentality, Harbaugh awards mechanic shirts to teammates when the final roster is set after the exhibition season.
Harbaugh isn't the first 49ers' coach whose outfit has drawn attention. Mike Singletary was known for wearing a wooden cross on a necklace, and Mike Nolan fought the league to wear a suit and tie like his father Dick did 30 years earlier as the 49ers coach.
No word on if Harbaugh will pull out one of Bill Walsh's old white sweaters for a retro-uniform game at Candlestick Park, where the 49ers will leave for a new stadium in Santa Clara after this coming season.

A Pottawatomie County jury on Wednesday convicted a Shawnee woman of first-degree murder for the 2012 stabbing death of an Oklahoma City woman.
Heather Nicole Checotah, 23, was accused of stabbing Gina Raechel Swain in the chest with a knife on Feb. 5, 2012, at Chapel Ridge Apartments.
After deliberating about 50 minutes before returning with a guilty verdict. The jury recommended Checotah serve a life in prison.
The stabbing occurred in the parking lot of the complex, where Shawnee police officers arrived outside the area of Building 20 to find Swain sitting in a chair with a stab wound.
According to the arrest affidavit filed with these charges, police spoke with a woman at the scene who reportedly told police that Checotah, her ex-girlfriend, had stabbed Swain with a kitchen knife.
Swain, who went by Medi Flight helicopter ambulance to OU Medical Center, died the next day.
Police arrested Checotah at a Shawnee residence the day of the stabbing.

Matthew Weiner Predicts 'Mad Men' Ending Will Have 'Mixed Reviews'
If you're worried that Don Draper's fate will be unsatisfying, Matthew Weiner is way ahead of you.
In a new interview with Esquire, the "Mad Men" creator predicts what he's calling "mixed reviews" for the series' highly anticipated finale next spring.
"The road has been paved for a mixed review, no matter what," he said. "I do what I've always done on the show and rely on the people around me. The actors, the writers, and my wife all liked it, so that's all I can go on at this point. I hate to say this — obviously ending the entire series is significantly more pressure — but it's been that way every year. I never knew if the show was coming back for most of the series, so we treated every episode 13 like it was the end. It's very bittersweet and high-pressure."
The first half of season 7 concluded this past May and will resume with the final seven episodes in spring 2015. The last half was shot this past spring and summer, but Weiner still doesn't feel like the show has truly ended – not until it airs.

"Despite all that emotion, there has been this little safety net," he said. "The people at "Breaking Bad," "Lost," everybody told us this, too, what a safety net it is to not be off the air yet. We all know that, whatever splitting the season meant, the true ending of the show hasn't happened yet."
Weiner gets sentimental too, when asked about the last few days on set with certain actors. "Certain things, like Kiernan [Shipka, who played Sally Draper], I've know this girl since she was six and seeing her there and her parents on her last day… I'm getting emotional just thinking about it. It wasn't her first job, but it was certainly her biggest job so far. That was one of those where it's like you're a writer, a dad, a friend, a friend to her parents, a co-worker, an artist she's inspired. All of that overlapping was probably the hardest for me."
Still, he did take home a cherished object from the period piece's set: Roger Sterling's (John Slattery) bar. "Roger's bar is the happiest bar on the show, so I always thought that would be nice."
Weiner's first feature length film, "Are You Here," is out August 22 and stars Zach Galifianakis and Owen Wilson.

News 12 First at Five / Friday, Sept. 14, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- You can't miss the construction at Augusta Regional Airport. The new private jet terminal opened this week -- but many contractors have not been paid.
So where is the money? We went in search of answers.
Dozens were on hand this week as Augusta cut the ribbon on the new General Aviation Terminal. It is the new gateway for people flying in on private jets.
"The colors are soothing," said Gayle Virgo. "I want to get a plane now and learn to fly."
Virgo is impressed with the new terminal that comes with a conference room, a snack room with an option for fresh popcorn and a pilot's lounge complete with recliners and bathrooms that double as showers.
"I know," said Virgo with a smile. "I'd like to be a pilot."
Many in the community are all smiles, but what about the contractors?
"The contractor did a great job," said Jack Mayfield, vice president at Campbell & Paris Engineers. "The architect did a great job. So we are very pleased with it."
Mayfield's company owes subcontractors thousands of dollars for work that wrapped up months ago.
"Yes sir." Mayfield said. "We've been working with the contractor to try to get this taken care of."
Work on the new runway and, of course, the new private jet terminal is complete. Contractors are still due more than $100,000.
So when is pay day?
"It'll probably be a couple of months before we get it taken care of." Mayfield said.
"A couple of months?" we questioned.
"You're putting me on the spot," Mayfield said. "We're trying to do what we can."
So what's the holdup?
"It's unfortunate," he said. "We've just got some invoices that were not taken care of."
Mayfield is on the record saying no more than two months to pay workers for a project that has the community marveling.
"It's amazing," Virgo said. "People don't know how many people come to Augusta for business and for the Masters. It's going to be wonderful."
User fees covered the $5 million renovation.

Ridgecrest Police Chief Ron Strand said the Kern County District Attorney's Office will review the death of 56-year-old Jim Hill.
Kern County Sheriff-Coroner Donny Youngblood ruled the death a homicide last month.
Hill died June 8 in the Ridgecrest Regional Hospital Emergency Room.
An autopsy was completed June 11, and the cause of death was determined to be a massive acute subarachnoid hemorrhage, bleeding arteriovenous malformation, right middle cerebral artery with a contributing cause of methamphetamine intoxication.
"It's still a homicide, and it just depends on what the District Attorney's Office deems the culpability of the person who was engaged in the altercation with Mr. Hill," Strand said. "It's being sent off to the District Attorney's Office for review, and they will be able to determine what charges, if any, to file."
Hill reportedly went to retrieve his bicycle from a residence on West Upjohn Avenue and got into a physical altercation just before his death.

11ppg 5.5rpg 3.5apg 2spg 0.5bpg. we only play 24min and i would have more assists but sometimes my teammates miss wide open layups. i am the starting point guard, 4'10 started all games. wat r ur stats?
During the season this year I had 9.1ppg , 14.7rpg, 2apg, 3bpg. The blocks per game is a little misleading because there was a really weak team in our league and I'd have 9 or 10 blocks against them when we played them.
dang ur a rebound machine!!!!!! is ur season over or still going on
my season isnt over yet so ill be editing my stats as the games go on. i have 3 games left and my team is 1-4. we got our first win yesterday!!!
Yeah that was pretty much my only job. Teammates didn't really see me as an offensive option (probably smart) so all my points came off putbacks after offensive rebounds. Nope that was my school season it's been done for a while.
Oh so you're playing in a summer league? That'd be fun to do. Well congrats on the win!

Aggression boosts SMC offense during late-season run
Focus on speed, stolen bases has Pioneers on a roll
Published: Sunday, May 26, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 27, 2013 at 12:52 a.m.
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — If Spartanburg Methodist's baseball team was going to make a run at it, there was only one thing to do.
Winners' bracket game: SMC (46-13) vs. Connors State (53-9), 4 p.m. Monday
SMC was stuck in a mid-March mud, losing eight of 14 and seemingly going nowhere fast, or in this case, nowhere with plenty of speed.
"We needed something to give us a kick-start," SMC head coach Tim Wallace said. "We needed something to click. I finally decided, and Matt (Williams, assistant coach) had to push me, to let the guys run."
The Pioneers did just that Saturday in their opening game of the Junior College World Series, stealing seven bases in a 19-11 win against Walters State at Suplizio Field in Grand Junction, Colo. The box score had SMC at 7-for-7, although one player was picked off first base, so the official number is 23 straight successful swipes.
Top-ranked SMC (46-13) will play a winners' bracket game at 4 p.m. Monday against third-ranked Connors State (53-9) of Warner, Okla.
The Pioneers breezed through the NJCAA Eastern District tournament with three straight wins, 6-for-6 on steals in the first game, 6-for-6 again in the second, and only 2-for-2 when the brakes were applied during a 17-2 win in the championship.
SMC had turned its recruiting efforts more toward the speed game after a rules change two years ago basically deadened the bats, making home runs much less frequent. But the Pioneers hadn't quite unleashed the hounds. That was because, Wallace said, he still had a tight grip on the reins.
"Even with the personnel we had, I was still coaching the way I played," said Wallace, a former Wofford College standout and Hall of Famer who was a second-round draft pick by the St. Louis Cardinals as a catcher. "I wasn't a gambler. I could hit and I could run a little bit, pick my spots when to steal, but I never really pushed the envelope. And I think that's exactly what this team needed."
Dividends were immediate. SMC stole seven bases in seven attempts to trigger a four-game sweep of Florence-Darlington Tech. The Pioneers went on to win 11 of 12, the lone defeat by one run against USC Sumter. In that game, they had only four hits and no stolen bases.
Wesley Rogers leads SMC with 27 stolen bases and has been caught twice. One of those was when he tripped out of the gate and the other was a pickoff. Brandon Burris is next with 21 steals in 22 tries. As a team, the Pioneers are 125-for-146 (86 percent).
"We just needed a boost on offense," Rogers said. "We have a lot of speed and we want to take advantage of it. There are a few guys on our team who hit for power, but the new bats have evened up the game. You have to use your legs."
Rogers and White always have the green light to steal whenever they want. If either is on first base, they are planning on thefts of second.
"Speed is a big part of what we do," Burris said. "We want to put pressure on the pitcher and the defense."
"They don't have to steal," Wallace said. "If the pitcher is throwing over there, they've already had an effect on him. The batter is going to see better pitches. The infielders are going to feel like they have to rush their throws."
SMC's speed not only provides a pressure point against the defense but also energizes its own offense.
"When we're aggressive, we have energy," Wallace said. "When we have energy, we're aggressive."

Woman critically injured in east Erie hit-and-run crash
A woman was critically injured after she was hit by a car late Wednesday night at the intersection of East 12th and Wayne streets, Erie police said.
The incident occurred at about 11:10 p.m.
After hitting the woman, the vehicle fled east on East 12th Street before turning south on the Bayfront Connector, police said.
Police were searching for a gray Chevrolet Impala. Two men were in the Impala, police said.
A witness said the woman was crossing East 12th Street at Wayne Street from south to north when the eastbound vehicle struck her in the eastbound lane.
After the impact, the woman was thrown into the westbound lane, the witness said.
The woman was unconscious when she was taken by ambulance to UPMC Hamot, authorities said.

TSA Expands Pre-Check to International Flights: Shoes On!
Good news for Pre-Checkers: The Transportation Security Administration has expanded its Pre Check expedited screening program to international trips instead of just domestic itineraries. Now you can leave your shoes on when you're leaving the country.
Pre Check usually offers a much shorter screening queue and old-fashioned screening when you get to the checkpoint. You leave your shoes, belt and light jacket on, liquids and laptops in their bag, and walk through a metal detector instead of full-body scanner. It's quick, easy, and delightful for travelers when it works.
One complaint has been that it periodically doesn't work. Travelers who have gone through the background check to get into Pre Check get to the screening checkpoint and get told they aren't eligible for Pre Check for that flight. Sometimes it's a random measure to force even Pre Check participants into more rigorous screening. Sometimes it's simply that the name on an airline reservation doesn't match up exactly with the name in the Pre Check profile. And often it has been because a trip involved an international flight, making it ineligible for Pre Check.
That will change on May 7. TSA says passengers departing on "select" international flights on Alaska Airlines, American Airlines Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and US Airways at the 40 airports that have Pre Check screening lanes will be eligible for the expedited screening. Passengers arriving from abroad and making a connection to another flight will be eligible beginning May 7 as well.
It won't be all international flights–TSA says only "select" flights will be allowed. But the agency has been trying to expand Pre Check, get more people enrolled, and make it easier to use. The agency has decided to preprint Pre-Check acceptance on boarding passes so that travelers will know if they have the magic pass before they get to the checkpoint. Airlines are modifying their systems to accommodate the Pre Check notice.
Pre Check is available to U.S. citizens who get invited by an airline based on frequent-flier program history, and to U.S. citizens enrolled in Customs and Border Protection "Trusted Traveler" programs, including Global Entry, SENTRI and NEXUS. Additionally, Canadian citizens who are NEXUS members are also eligible for TSA Pre Check. Enrolling in Global Entry costs $100 for five years and requires an interview at a CBP office, but it's a huge time-saver when entering the country. You go straight to a kiosk instead of an hours-long line. And you get Pre Check. (For more information, go to cbp.gov.)
As I've written before, if you want to take some hassle out of your travel, the $100 for Global Entry and Pre Check is the best investment you can make.

Well, at least we were persistant, and got rewarded at the end, but in a game like that, we could just as well of lost it. When the defense has so little to do, it requires a bit of common sense, so im not sure what sort of game Daws thought he was playing in, but at times he was at best, reckless, and Hugo, well I don't think he knew the game had started with his first half display. I still think Siggy is a weak link. While dangerous in and around area, he seems to fade from games, and his ball retension is not very good, and lack off pace obvious. I like Dembele, but again I wonder about his stamina. Very good in first halves, then seems to me he fades from game. All in all, I was happy with our play going forward and thought there was good link up all round.
Can't argue with any of that John. Hugo is a great keeper but he took some big risks which on another day could have cost us badly. Someone, and when I find out who it was I will be having words, told Dawson he could play football. He can tackle, and he can head the ball, and he can pass the ball as long as its no more than 20 yards but apart from that he should stick to what he is good at. Siggy IS too slow to be a great player and he does give the ball away too easily BUT he has also been very influential so far. Dembele looks unfit but has always looked like that. He has had plenty of chances to prove he can produce and so far he hasn't. We have plenty of midfield options so I would not be upset if someone else got a chance. The only thing that worries me is the same as always - we just don't kill teams off. Of course we should beat the likes of Cardiff but when we play top 4 teams we just don't seem to have that self belief that we can win. Man U have got that belief (well they did) that they will score and win and that has served them very well over the years. I am just hoping that all the new players, that have not caught that lack of confidence thing, bring a sense of optimism with them that spreads throughout the club and they just go out to win without any fear.

The insect class comprises the most diverse group of animals on the earth and constitutes more than half of all described animal species. Insect species also make up close to 90 percent (800,000 of 900,000) of all arthropod species.
The most distinctive attributes of insects are their (generally) small size, wings and metamorphosis. Feeding habits are vastly different, depending on the species of insect. Some eat leaves, flowers, seeds, fruits, bark, or roots from plants; others feed on the nectar or collect the pollen from flowers; while some prey on other insects.
Insects are widely distributed around the world, more so than any other group of animals; they are everywhere that green plants grow. Although they are mainly terrestrial, there are also insects that live in aquatic habitats (both fresh water and marine).
Like all arthropods, insects have an exoskeleton to support muscles and protect their body. Touch receptors are found on the antennae, legs, and feet. Insect bodies are composed of three distinct regions: The head, the thorax, and the abdomen.
The head is where the insect's mouth, eyes (if they have them), and antennae are located. The mouth generally has an upper lip, two pairs of jaws, a lower lip and a tongue-like hypopharynx. The jaws work from side to side, not up and down like most other animals. However this mouth structure is not true of many insects, notably butterflies, which instead have a tube-like proboscis (see photo, at left) that is used for sucking up nectars.
An insect's thorax is divided into three sections, each with a pair of legs underneath. The spiracles, which are tiny openings in the body used for respiration, are often on the middle and last segment of the thorax. Wings are located on the thorax of flying insects. The abdomen is made of plates that form ring-like segments, and mostly consists of organs used for reproduction.
All insects begin as eggs. The development from egg to adult—called metamorphosis—varies greatly, depending on the species. There are four main types of metamorphosis: anamorphosis, ametamorphosis, simple metamorphosis, and complete metamorphosis. Each represents a distinct cycle of development from the insect's egg stage into adulthood. Most insects go through a larval stage early in their development. During this period they may or may not look like the full-grown adult.
Insects increase in size by molting their outer layer. This occurs regularly in the larval stage because growth occurs very quickly.
Once they become adults, insects take part in the complex ritual of reproduction. Most insects differ from other animals in that egg fertilization does not happen during mating. Sperm is stored by the females until their eggs are ready, at which time they are fertilized. However, unfertilized eggs can sometimes produce young in certain species. This is called parthenogenesis.
Certain insects live together as cooperating members of a social colony, in which different members of the group provide certain services in a caste-like system. In these colonies, there is often one queen that lays eggs while workers, drones and soldiers keep everything else running smoothly. All termites and ants, as well as certain species of bees and wasps are social insects.
Although insects are generally considered pests by humans, they play an important role in the health of ecosystems.
Insects provide a major food source for many vertebrates, including bats, birds, and frogs, as well as for invertebrates, including other insects. Learn more:
When an insect population decreases, there are major effects on other animals; there is often a decline in certain animal populations, and sometimes a growth in population of other insects that are considered pests.
Insects also play a major role in plant reproduction by pollinating certain plants. Some species of bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, flies, and wasps contribute by delivering pollen on the same plant or on another plant of the same species, which stimulates seed production. Close to 65 percent of all flowering plants use insects as pollinators.
The carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) is pollinated exclusively by members of order Lepidoptera (butterflies, moths, and skippers). Yucca plants (family Agavaceae) are only pollinated by yucca moths (genus Tegeticula). The star of Bethlehem orchid (Angraecum sesquipedale) depends on a type of hawkmoth (Xanthopan morganii) for pollination.

InsaneScouter Moment - Three Things You Need To Survive
A Scout Master was teaching his boy scouts about survival in the desert.
"What are the three most important things you should bring with you in case you get lost in the desert?" he asked. Several hands went up, and many important things were suggested such as food, matches, etc.
Then one little boy in the back eagerly raised his hand. "Yes Timmy, what are the three most important things you would bring with you?" asked the Scout Master.
Timmy replied: "A compass, a canteen of water, and a deck of cards."
"Why's that Timmy?"
"Well," answered Timmy, "the compass is to find the right direction, the water is to prevent dehydration..."
"And what about the deck of cards?" asked the Scout Master impatiently.
"Well, Sir, as soon as you start playing Solitaire, someone is bound to come up behind you and say, "Put that red nine on top of that black ten and you can ask HIM how to get out of here!"

STOCKTON - A 32-year-old man reported that while getting out of his car in the 9200 block of West Lane about 12:10 p.m. Monday, someone in a passing car fired about eight rounds at him, hitting him once, according to police.
The victim was treated at a hospital for a non-life-threatening injury.
Police reported that three men were in the suspect vehicle, described as a white, 2000 Pontiac Grand Am with dark-tinted windows. The shooter was sitting in the front passenger seat, and the driver was described as wearing a red baseball cap, police reported.

HERE's an interesting theory regarding Tamerlan Tsarnaev (pictured above getting punched by a rival boxer):
Tamerlan Tsarnaev is telling no tales. The older of the two brothers who committed the Boston Marathon bombings was likely the one who planned the attack, but when he died in a shootout with police just days after the blasts, his thoughts and motivations vanished with him. But the brain that was home to his angry mind remains, and in this case that may mean something.
Tsarnaev was an amateur boxer who won the New England Golden Gloves competition as recently as 2009 and ...

SAN RAMON -- Chevron said its profits slumped during the fourth quarter and offered a disappointing prediction for worldwide production this year, a double-whammy that prompted investors to jettison the energy giant's shares on Friday.
During its fourth quarter that ended December 31st, Chevron's profits were $4.9 billion, down 31.9 percent from $7.2 billion in the year-ago quarter. Per-share profits of $2.57 a share were in line with Wall Street's expectations, but revenue fell short of predictions by analysts.
San Ramon-based Chevron's shares plunged 4.1 percent on the news to close at $111.63.
"The reason the stock was down today was not the quarterly results themselves, but Chevron's guidance for 2014 when it comes to production," said Pavel Molchanov, an energy analyst at investment firm Raymond James.
Chevron expects production during 2014 will be 2.61 million barrels of oil a day, which would be up 0.5 percent from the company's production in 2013. Analysts expected Chevron to forecast that its production this year would increase by about 2 percent to 4 percent, Molchanov said.
"All the major oil companies face challenges to increase production," said Brian Youngberg, an analyst with investment firm Edward Jones. "It's a struggle for everyone."
The latest quarterly results follow third-quarter results that also disappointed investors.
"That's two mediocre quarters in a row after a time period in which Chevron was firing on all cylinders," Youngberg said.
Refinery operations, primarily because of the return to full production of the company's refinery in Richmond following a fire, improved. During the October-December quarter, crude oil processed by Chevron's refineries increased 24 percent, refined product sales rose 6 percent and branded gasoline sales increased 1 percent.
Chevron pointed out that it's making progress on several fronts to bring major production projects online. The largest are liquefied natural gas complexes that Chevron is developing in Western Australia.
"We made significant progress on our LNG projects in Australia during the past year, with Gorgon almost 75 percent complete and Wheatstone successfully reaching important construction and LNG marketing milestones," Chevron CEO John Watson said in a prepared release. "Significant progress was also made at two important Gulf of Mexico deepwater projects, Jack/St. Malo and Big Foot."
The Gulf of Mexico projects, along with an LNG project in Angola, are expected to begin production this year. The Gorgon project should begin production in 2015, and Wheatstone should come on line in 2017.
"It is in 2015 that things get much more interesting for Chevron," Molchanov said. "Angola and the Gulf of Mexico projects will be on line for a full year and Gorgon will start production."

House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairman John Kline (R-MN) and Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions Chairman Phil Roe (R-TN) released the following statements after a new Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report revealed the president's health care law could lead to a loss of 2.5 million full-time jobs by 2024:
"Last year Secretary Sebelius dismissed concerns about job losses under ObamaCare as 'speculation,'" said Chairman Kline. "Today's report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office is further evidence the president's health care law is destroying full-time jobs. This fatally-flawed health care scheme is wreaking havoc on working families nationwide, forcing premium increases, policy cancellations, and job losses. President Obama has a responsibility to stop this train wreck before it inflicts more harm on the American people."
"Today's CBO report only underscores the serious problems Obamacare will cause for this country," said Rep. Roe. "Despite the administration's rhetoric, the number of Americans estimated who will gain health coverage under this law continues to fall. Since this law was passed, we have been hearing from employers that this law was going to result in layoffs and now we have independent verification that this will be the case. We should reward and encourage hard work in this country, not create a climate that causes the workforce participation rate to plummet. This is absolutely unacceptable and the American people deserve better."
