quote: Safety doesn't have to be compromised in the name of weight reduction.
quote: I cannot stand this line of thinking. Cafe is giving us cars that are far superior to 'gas guzzlers', i.e. we're getting cars that are stronger, faster, lighter, more efficient, AND more technological.
quote: You always need constraints to get the best possible outcome for everyone.
quote: The net result is huge consumer demand for energy efficient vehicles (small diesels and hybrids) that attract far lower or even zero tax rates. Without all those taxes most people wouldn't care about fuel efficiency (just like it was no issue at all 30 years ago).
quote: Ergo a truely free market is undesirable by definition. You always need constraints to get the best possible outcome for everyone. Without such constraints any externalities (such as pollution, deaths, health, environment) are not part of the equation.
quote: But get to the 1970s when CAFE was implemented and suddenly truck sales start to pick up, to where they're about 50% of vehicle sales today.
quote: The whole thing is the brainchild of a flawed conspiracy theory that the manufacturers somehow control what it is the customers want to buy.

quote: you're crazy. Let me keep it simple for you.
quote: Guess what? now you are paying for expensive fuel and higher priced vehicles.
quote: GM, Ford, Chrysler has been making any vehicle they want for decades and look what happened. They ended up making a lot of vehicles they wanted but consumers don't want. They were not competitive globally. I don't want the government to bail them out again.
quote: Fuel prices will continue to increase and people will continue to demand better fuel economy.
quote: lol GTFO of this stupid country then.
quote: We are under central planning, that of the fossil fuel lobby, that's who plans the US's energy. If you think otherwise you're only fooling yourself.
quote: He says that the magic bullet for fuel efficiency would be a battery electric vehicle with an hour charge time, the price of a gasoline vehicle, a battery pack the size of a gas tank, and a 400 mile range. Current models are far from that dream target, though.

quote: I agree that consumers should be the ones pushing for higher fuel economy, however I was pointing my take on how that potential legislation would benefit the car companies.
quote: See, Gas may have been $1.85 on the day Obama took office, but I've always kind of taken issue with that number. I'm not sure how old you are, but there were times during the Bush presidency, When Gas around here (Chicagoish) was $4+ per gallon.

Voices Grow for RIM Management Shakeup
Voices Grow for RIM Management Shakeup: Everyone has ideas on how to fix BlackBerry maker RIM which has seen shares fall 74% this year. Most ideas begin with ending the reign of RIM co-chiefs Jim Balsille and Mike Lazaridis, who have run the company since 1993. A tech analyst yesterday at Berenberg made waves with a "caustic" open letter that said that RIM has "lost its way to say the least," under the co-chiefs.
Beyond changing the management, AllThingsD posts other ideas such as doing a Nokia-like deal with Microsoft or dropping hardware completely and focusing on software that helps businesses manage mobile devices.
But that might not be enough. Remember Palm? Remember Motorola's handset business? "History hasn't been kind to handset makers whose devices go out of style," writes the WSJ's Rolfe Winkler.

Carrier IQ Goes to Washington: The Feds are looking at Carrier IQ, reports the Washington Post. This week Carrier IQ executives met regulators at the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission.

Wall Street Cools to Groupon: Several Wall Street analysts gave "surprisingly faint praise," to daily deals site Groupon, the Wall Street Journal reports, just one month after the company went public. The mixed reviews partly reflect prospects for growth, Groupon's continued unprofitability and rising competition.
"The company is like a student in high school who still needs to push in order to get accepted into an Ivy League school," writes AllThingsD. "Even though it's likely a shoo-in — and it's already gone public — there's no leeway for senioritis." [WSJ, AllThingsD]

Sorry! This product has been discontinued.
Please scroll down to see alternative products.
Product Description
A piece of sex furniture that is easily stored away from prying eyes when you're done. Cupid's Couch is an inflatable position enhancer that allows you to vary your sex positions with minimum effort and maximum support. Comes with its own powered pump.
They call it a 'shared passion accessory' - we call it a whole bundle of fun. An inflatable couch that's designed to help you both get into all sorts of compromising positions thanks to strategically placed leg and arm restraints.
Made from top-quality cross-woven PVC, it has a soft feel for comfortable love-making, even in more unusual and challenging(!) positions. With built-in handles to aid support, you'll be surprised by how many different positions you're able to enhance with this inflatable friend.
The couch has two primary air chambers for maximum support. The upper air chamber can be quickly deflated, enabling the partially deflated couch to be neatly stored under a bed when not in use.
Supplied with a high-capacity electric pump and an illustrated sheet showing 12 possible positions, but your imagination should take care of that!
Please note, measurements are approximate and will vary depending on level of inflation.
Length: 92 inches
Width: 33 inches
Height: 34 inches
Please Note: Although there is no specific weight restriction for the Cupids Couch, we don't recommend using it as a bouncy castle or being too rough with it. Cupid's Couch is not recommended for use in pools, hot tubs or the sea.
A puncture repair kit is supplied in every box to make repair quick and easy. We recommend that a small amount petroleum jelly is rubbed around the rubber O-ring to prolong the life of your sofa.

Cupid's Couch Sex Sofa
Only: £109.99
Reviewed: 12 July 2015 by Siuk, a Straight Going Steady Male
Absolutely great toy! So many different positions are possible with this!
Firstly, it was dead simple to inflate, taking no more than 5 mins with the included mains-powered pump. You do need a fair amount of space to set it up and use.
The PVC can become a bit sticky, and it can be a little tricky maintaining balance on it in some positions, and if you really want to spice things up then generous amounts of lube for some slippery fun on it help!
Easy to clean after use and pack up, again using the included pump to suck all the air out.
- Pros
- Different positions available, quick setup and pack away.
- Cons
- Nothing!
- Bottom line
- Great purchase, not disappointed!
- Was this review helpful to you? Yes
If fun is what you're looking for, look no further
Reviewed: 31 May 2015 by Sweet Phoebe, a Straight Married Female
First sex furniture bought - we were looking for "something new and different" for our orgy.
Most swingers probably own a lot of Lovehoney items - this was a new one for all of us! It completely stole the show!
The little booklet was great, too... 6 couples and 12 suggested positions, we ticked all the boxes!
Go on, Lovehoney-bunnies - treat yourself - you won't regret it for a moment!
- Pros
- Sturdy, no unpleasant odour, well designed and easily cleaned.
- Cons
- Trying to "hide" it from view - but found it fits under bed very easily.
- Bottom line
- A cliché but this really is "a must-have" for serious sexual pleasure-seekers!

Wow, best buy ever
Reviewed: 29 March 2015 by simon&debbie, a Straight Married Male
All we can say is wow! We kept looking at this product and wondered weather it would be strong enough, but finally took the plunge and bought one.
I'm so glad we did. It's not the smallest of things, but it is very sturdy and very well made. Our worries were soon put to rest and we put it through it paces.
Please don't think this is a small item as it not, but it's quick to put up, and the same to put away. We are having so much fun with this product and hope you will to.
- Pros
- Study, well made and quick to put up, and very adaptable.
- Cons
- A little hard to get in position on top if you have short legs.
- Bottom line
- Love it, but do check if it fits were you want to use it first.

Rahul Gandhi facing a lot of flak in the recent times, his sister and star campaigner for the Congress Priyanka Gandhi has no intention to steal the thunder from her brother. In an interview with a television channel, Priyanka stated that she was not joining politics.
Her visit to Rae Bareli had sparked off rumours that she was ready for a more active role in politics. Refuting all rumours, Priyanka said, "I am not joining politics. There is nothing new about my interacting with workers in Rae Bareli and Amethi. I travel to Rae Bareli every now and then to look at organisational issues that have cropped up."
The Opposition has been particularly criticising Rahul and the recent article on The Economist has only added to Rahul's and Congress' misery. If that was not all, UPA supporter and Samajwadi party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav questioned Rahul's ability to lead the country. Samajwadi Party general secretary Mohan Singh also stated, "Rahul Gandhi lacks the ability to run the country. He has not been able to rise up to the challenge."
The matter that the Congress wants to pitch Rahul Gandhi against Gujarat CM Narendra Modi in the Gujarat elections has evoked a lot of criticism. While Modi has several development initiatives to show off, Rahul has none. His unresponsiveness on major issues has only sunken his credibility to new lows. In spite of this, Congress supporters still believe that he will make it to the PM's post one day and emerge from the shadows.

"Here's to a wonderful first 50 years" concludes Trinity Rep. board member Kibbe Reilly ("A theater that is the heart and soul of Rhode Island," Commentary, Nov. 3).
Well, here's to the men and women who, on March 19, 1963 created "The Foundation for Repertory Theatre of Rhode Island," thus making those years possible:
Milton Stanzler (a lawyer with a vision); Norman Tilles (a local businessman); Barbara Orson (a New York actress who had recently moved to Rhode Island); Professor James O. Barnhill (director of Brown's theater department); Betsy Argo (operator of a summer theater in Johnson's Hummocks restaurant - now Cheaters); Robert Kaplan (who conducted the orchestra and choruses of numerous community theater productions) and lawyer Lawrence Y. Goldberg.
Kudos, one and all.

Vauxhall Omega Police Car
The Omega had been on sale in Europe as an Opel for a generation but the UK it was known as the Calton. The UK received the second generation car in 1994, when it took over duties from the Senator as the top of the range executive car, and sat above the Vectra in the Vauxhall range.
The UK police force used this second generation Vauxhall Omega extensively as a Pursuit car for motorway work and it was purchased both as a saloon and an estate - popular due to the boot size allowing the huge amount of equipment that traffic division was required to carry around like traffic cones.
The Omega had a choice of engines - 2.0 litre 4 cylinder petrol and diesel, a 2.5 and 3.0 V6 petrol engines and 2.5 litre straight 6 turbo diesel engines.

Canadian Jobs Picture Mirrors U.S.
Canada's employment picture was a mirror of the U.S., turning uglier in January with the most jobs lost in any single month on record, more than triple the expected number, predominantly from the highest ever manufacturing layoffs. The unemployment rate was the highest since November 2004 as employers trimmed payrolls for the third straight month in an economy mired in recession.
A net 129,000 jobs were eliminated, eclipsing any monthly decline during recessions in the 1980s and 1990s, Statistics Canada said Friday. The unemployment rate spiked to 7.2% from 6.6%, the biggest jump in two consecutive months since October-November 1992.
The market had expected 40,000 jobs to be lost and the jobless rate to increase to 6.8%. Almost all the losses occurred in Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec, the three largest provinces.
High Frequency Economics said the employment report confirms its view about how sour the economy has become. "Indeed, the state of the economy likely is worse now than anyone comprehends," chief economist Carl Weinberg wrote in a report.
Details of the latest employment report were as bleak as the headline figures, with full-time jobs accounting for the bulk of layoffs. StatsCan said the 213,000 overall employment decline since October was the result of full-time job losses. Last month, the economy shed 113,900 full-time positions and 15,100 part-time ones.
Some 110,900 factory jobs were eliminated, primarily at vehicle manufacturers. Jobs were also lost at factories making furniture, computers, appliances and clothing, among other things.
The private sector eliminated 101,200 jobs, and the public sector shed 42,000. The number of self-employed people was up 14,200. –Nirmala Menon

Throughout his 2016 bid for the White House, Rubio repeatedly stated he was uninterested in returning to the Senate, instead focusing his campaign efforts solely on the Republican Party's nomination.

I'd also like to make a brief announcement. There was a successful test this morning of the Arrow II anti-tactical ballistic missile. The test was conducted in Israel. In the test, the Arrow II intercepted and hit a modified Arrow I missile which had been launched as a target. This was the fourth test of the Arrow II missile which is being developed jointly by the U.S. and Israel, and it's the second successful intercept out of the four tests so far. Both U.S. and Israeli teams are very satisfied with the test results and the program is ongoing, obviously.
Q: Tell us about the Arrow. Does the U.S. have access to all the technology, the hardware, etc., of this Arrow that is being developed with Israel?
A: We're co-developers of it, and I believe we do.
Q: Does it substitute for the THAAD?
A: No. There are a number of differences, but the most fundamental difference is that THAAD is mobile and this is not a mobile system.
This is an entirely different system.

Album review
13/05/2009 -
Sitson could have chosen to wow listeners with stunning vocal acrobatics, but he insists his priority lies elsewhere on Way To Go. "It's the melodies and the harmonies that are important to me here; the rhythm just adds a bit of extra colour", says the singer who has often been compared to the great American jazzman Bobby McFerrin (who invited Sitson to guest on stage with him at New York's Carnegie Hall last year).
The majority of the songs on Way To Go are written in Medumba (a language spoken by the Bamileke in Cameroon), but Sitson does not always believe in putting his feelings into words. He frequently chooses to "devisualise" the images that surge through his head, translating them into onomatopoeia and pure sound. This is the case on Peaceful Journey, a song dedicated to his father as is Daddy, an instrumental track on which Sitson plays the sanza (the traditional thumb piano) which his father gave him before he died. Perhaps because his father's death was such a recent event, Way To Go has turned out to be very much a family affair with other songs dedicated to Sitson's daughter (Lucia) and his mother (Magny Marcelline).
Sitson could easily have invited a host of major jazz stars to guest on Way To Go (as he did on his album Bamisphere back in 2006), but here too he seems to have preferred the notion of 'family ties', working with the quartet he has been playing with ever since he arrived in the U.S. There is evident camaraderie and complicity between Sitson, pianist Helio Alves, drummer Willard Dyson and double bass player Lonnie Plaxico (who also works as musical director for the American singer Cassandra Wilson) and this adds an impressive sense of fluidity to Way To Go.

Why is My AC Leaking Water?
Most of the time, little attention is paid to the central air conditioning system as long as the unit is functioning as expected. However, a glance out the window to see a puddle of water around the outdoor compressor unit or indoors next to the evaporator unit might be alarming. Understanding when an AC that leaks water is normal and when it is not could prevent unnecessary and unexpected repairs.
Normal Condensation from Air Conditioning Systems
Depending on the weather, the setting on the thermostat and the amount of water around the air conditioning system, the situation could be normal. Do not be alarmed if:
- There is a small amount of water indoors near the condensate drain pipe. This is a common effect of an air conditioner working very hard on a particularly hot or humid day. Monitor the situation. If the amount of water grows or persists, the air conditioner may require repair.
- There is a small puddle around the outdoor unit. This may simply be the result of the system's normal recycling of water.
When Leaking Water Is a Problem
A large amount of water or water that persists for more than a day is a cause for concern. Only a certified heating and cooling service technician can pinpoint the problem with your Middleburg, FL air conditioner. Some possible causes include:
- A dirty air filter. This causes restricted airflow to the evaporator's coils. The coils can freeze, causing water to spill out of the condensate drain pan.
- A crack in the condensate drain pan allows water to leak out of the air conditioner.
- An obstruction in the condensate drain pipe may force water to back up and out of the drain pan, getting all over the floor.
What To Do If You Discover Leaking Water from the Air Conditioner
Try replacing the air filter and bleaching the condensate line. If neither of these activities fixes the leak, the problem may be elsewhere or more extensive, requiring the expertise of a professional. If there is a large amount of water, immediate action is required to prevent a major problem.
Finding an AC that leaks water is not uncommon, but it can represent a problem for the operation and safety of the air conditioning system. At Mike Merritt Heating & Air, we are here 24/7 to answer your calls about leaking air conditioners and other heating and cooling system issues. Please give us a call for additional information.

How online shoppers plan to spend this holiday season

That whooshing sound? Yep, it's 2011 rushing past us. Of course, retailers have spent months getting ready for the impending holiday season, which now requires deft management not only across stores and websites, but also myriad mobile devices and social media outlets (a heads up here - I'll be posting more on retailer preparations and planning next week).
According to NRF's 2011 Holiday Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey conducted by BIGresearch earlier this month, consumers, too, have been thinking about gifts, budgets, and (marketing opportunity!) even what they would like to buy for themselves.
I've said before that online shoppers are a generous lot, and – no matter what general economic indicators would have us believe - this holiday season is no different in that regard:
- Almost half (46.7%) of all adults 18 years and older plan to make some portion of their holiday purchases online. One-third expects to do between one quarter and one half of all their holiday shopping specifically online this year.
- All told, online shoppers plan to spend a net average of $857.59, or fully 22% more than all adults. Of that total, almost $500 will be gifts specifically for family members (22% more than all adults 18 years and older).
- How will online shoppers decide which retailer to shop with? In the same ways as other shoppers, according to the survey: 2 out of 5 will be actively looking for sales or discounts, and 1 out of 5 will decide based on the merchandise selection. As we see every year in the Shop.org eHoliday Study, however, online shoppers rank seeing the shopping cart total before check out and clear product descriptions higher even than value for money.
- Two-thirds of online shoppers will be on the lookout for sales and special value to make additional, non-gift purchases for themselves and/or their family – to the net average tune of $163.49 (or 25% more than all adults). This is yet another marketing opportunity for retailers – one, they want to indulge themselves, and, two, the online shopper knows exactly what he / she wants (unlike shopping for others) so can take the plunge when offered the right product at the right price.
- Most wished for gifts this season? Much like last year, two-thirds of online shoppers want to receive gift cards, so retailers should heavily market this product, especially if it includes personalization features (e.g. Home Depot) and/or multiple delivery options (e.g. Amazon).
So what about the impact of smartphones and tablets on holiday shopping this year? Make no mistake – many online shoppers will be using both. While many of the tasks are the same, my hunch is the difference will lie where the device is used (smartphones more in store, perhaps tablets more at home or at the office). Among online shoppers who own a smartphone and/or tablet:
- Over one-third expect to use their smartphone to research products and compare prices (presumably a lot of that use while in store). Given the richer experience, well over half will do the same via their tablet device (my guess is that this will occur less in store than for smartphones).
- One-third further expect to use their smartphone to look up retailer information such as location, store hours, directions, and the like – again, a reasonable expectation given the smartphone's ubiquity while on the go. That said, 2 out of 5 tablet users will use the tablet for this purpose.
The biggest difference? Actual purchases made via either device (of course). Almost 1 out of 5 brave smartphone users expect to purchase products via this small screen device – compared with almost half (46%) of tablet device users.
Regardless, mobile devices will play a big part in holiday shopping this year – both online and in store – so my fervent hope is that retailers truly are ready to service and sell to consumers as the latter moves from one retailer touch point to another in the course of even a single transaction.
No doubt we'll all be watching this landscape closely to glean insights into how the retail world will evolve further in 2012.

We were a family of 5 staying in Barcelona during Easter. The apartment was as expected. Nice and clean and the size we needed. Short distance to bakery, grocery store, Metro and taxi stop. View to the la sagrada familie from the kitchen. The landlord was also very hjepfull and easy to get in contact with when needed.
Mieszkanie świetnie położone, czyste i dobrze wyposażone. Dodatkowa opłata za meldowanie po 21 niepotrzebna i to jedyny zgrzyt. Ogólnie jesteśmy bardzo zadowoleni.
ottima posizione, il proprietario gentilissimo, appartamento fornito di tutto e abbastanza pulito. Esperienza positiva che consiglio a tutti
Piso muy bien equipado, muy bien situado y un anfitrión magnífico. Sin duda recomiendo este apartamento para vuestra estancia en Barcelona.
Juan es un tipo amable, cuando llegamos a Barcelona ya nos habia gestionado el parking para nuestro vehiculo, que debido a su altura 1´90m no cabe en cualquier aparcamiento, nos dió todo tipo de indicaciones de donde comer y sin duda acertó.
El apartamento es tal y como figuraba en las fotos, hubiera rozado la perfeccion si hubiese una lavadora :-( , el sitio es privilegiado justo al lado de la Sagrada Familia.En definitiva, Barcelona, el apartamento y Juan, altamente recomendables :-)
We were very happy about the apartment, its location and all the help we got from Juan.
The apartment is located in an ideal position very close to La Sagrada Familia and metro station and is perfect for a small family as it has a (small) double bed in one room and a bunk bed in the other (not roll-out bed as pictured on website). There was everything we needed and although old, the place was very clean and comfortable and just as we had expected from pictures and description.
Would however recommend owner to buy some new blankets for the beds - they were not very nice!
Juan met us at apartment when we arrived although we arrived earlier than anticipated and was very helpful during our entire stay with answering any questions we had.
Everything about or stay was great!

LOS ANGELES – Scoring on the road has been a perplexing issue this season for the Red Wings, who took an uncharacteristic five-game road losing streak into Staples Center Saturday afternoon. Prior to facing the Pacific Division-leading Kings, the Wings had struggled scoring goals, managing just five in the last five games away from Joe Louis Arena.
"It's not like we haven't worked," coach Mike Babcock said. "But the results aren't coming. We can all get down, or yell and scream and get mad at each other. But to me that's a waste of time. We talked about it yesterday, about being resilient and keep coming."
Resiliency was definitely the recipe that produced positive results for the Wings who put a stop to a few droughts Saturday as they cruised to a 4-1 victory – their first road win in more than a month. And it's just the third time this season that they've scored at least three goals in a road game.
Center Pavel Datsyuk scored a pair of goals, including a power-play tally that ended a personal season-long dry run, and for the first time this year the Wings scored at least two power-play goals in back-to-back games.
Defenseman Niklas Kronwall also scored a power-play tally that gave the Wings a second-period lead. Kronwall has been on a hot streak of late, collecting goals in five of the last seven games, including four of the last five.
There was plenty of good hard-working action early on with a few big hits, a couple of quality scoring chances, and stellar saves late in the period that kept the score knotted at 1-1 heading into the first intermission.
The Kings struck first, taking advantage of the game's first power play. Unfortunately for the Wings, it was their power play that the Kings scored on when Mike Richards out-raced Jiri Hudler to a loose puck in the neutral zone and skated into the Wings' zone before firing a low shot that caromed off the paddle of Jimmy Howard's stick and between his legs.
"Huds has got to get in front of that guy and cut him off," Babcock said. "Richards is real good short-handed, we all know that, and we have to be aware of that, but he just made a good play."
It was the second straight game that the Wings had allowed a short-handed goal. But fortunately, the Wings responded quickly, tying the game on the same power play, when Datsyuk scored on a back-hand shot that beat Kings goalie Jonathan Quick.
Howard, who was dissatisfied with his performance Thursday in San Jose, redeemed himself as well when he came up with a pair of nifty saves late in the period, stopping Justin Williams on a one-timer from the low slot, and Jarret Stoll from in-between the circles. Howard gave the Wings a big lift when he stoned center Anze Kopitar on a second-period penalty shot.
Early in the second, the Wings benefited from a slashing penalty by Rob Scuderi, who gave Henrik Zetterberg a two-handed whack across the left wrist at 13:51. The Kings' defenseman received a two-minute minor penalty, and Zetterberg was clearly in some discomfort immediately after the incident. The Wings' payback came on the ensuing power play when Kronwall took a pass from Tomas Holmstrom and ripped a shot from the low slot past Quick for a 2-1 lead.
The Kings had a golden opportunity to tie the score, but Howard made a great save on Kopitar, who was awarded a penalty shot. Referee Kevin Pollock decided that Wings defenseman Brad Stuart somehow impeded Kopitar's path. The call was certainly questionable since it appeared that Kopitar lost the puck off of his stick all on his own.
"I was surprised when I thought he was going to give me just two-minutes," Stuart said. "He didn't fall down, I didn't hack him. I guess I just disrupted his shooting motion, I don't know, which is what I think I'm trying to do."
On the shot, Kopitar deked and went to the back hand trying to beat Howard to his glove side, but the Wings' goalie snagged the puck out of the air to keep the score 2-1. Howard made 23 saves.
"Those are the equivalent to scoring goals for me," said Howard, referring to the stop on Kopitar. "I enjoy those moments, and relish them. It just like that it's one-on-one.
"I felt that I needed to respond for the guys. I didn't have my best game the other night in San Jose and I knew it."
Justin Abdelkader put the Wings up, 3-1, when he took a pass from Brendan Smith – who had just exited the penalty box – broke in on left wing and blasted a shot that beat Quick through the pads at 15:38. For Smith, who made his Wings debut Thursday in San Jose, the assist was his first career NHL point.
"Abby had the wide speed so I figured that he was the guy to have the puck, and I guess I made the right decision," Smith said. "I'm pretty excited to get my first point like that. I mean, you'll take any way you can get it. Plus it was a big goal for our team to go up 3-1, so I was pretty excited."
Datsyuk collected his first two-goal game since last Feb. 17 in a win at Tamp Bay when he snapped a shot that glanced off a Kings' defender and over Quick's glove at 15:06 of the third period.
"It's only one game. I hope I keep going, I hope it's a start," Datsyuk said. "When we win it's a good thing, this is more important. We play together, it's important."

Extra Point:
Jason Schepler, a blocking specialist, had gotten his weight up to around 290 pounds in hopes of transitioning to the offensive line.
I'm not sure why the 49ers are searching for competition at fullback. I really don't see much changing there. Schepler who came to camp trying to make it as an offensive lineman was released, and then re-signed. He will be transitioned to fullback where the 49ers believe he projects better.

Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches
by Tony Kushner
Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches Betrayal Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Act.Scene.Line)
Quote #1
Prior: I was scared, Lou. [...] That you'll leave me (1.4.51).
Prior has hidden the fact that he has a lesion from Louis. He knows Louis very well and senses that the difficult realities of living with a person with AIDS might drive Louis to abandon and betray him. It seems that Prior's fears are justified.
Quote #2
Louis: Rabbi, what does the Holy Writ say about someone who abandons someone he loves at a time of great need? (1.5.49).
Louis is struggling with his instinct to abandon Prior. He's already feeling guilty about the act of betrayal he will eventually commit.
Quote #3
Louis: What if I walked out on this? Would you hate me forever?"
Stage Directions: Prior kisses Louis on the forehead.
Prior: Yes (1.8.75-76).
Louis is contemplating deserting Prior, and he's feeling incredibly guilty. Prior admits that he wouldn't forgive Louis if he did this. The kiss on the forehead shows Prior's immense love for Louis, perhaps making the betrayal all the worse.

Foxes softball own the Battlefield District
- Details
- Last Updated on Thursday, 30 May 2013 10:18
- Published on Thursday, 30 May 2013 10:17
- Hits: 3609
They came to make history. Battlefield District Coach of the Year, and King George High School varsity softball head coach Renee Parker is living on cloud nine. In less than a week, the Foxes (22-1) have defeated Culpeper (2-0) for the coveted district tournament crown, and on Monday, crushed Southside District champion, Southhampton, 10-2.
"I said a whole bunch a games ago, if they continue doing what they are doing, they could do this," Parker said. "Some said that I was being a little forward by saying that. Honestly when you know they have the talent to do this, it's easy to say it."
On Wednesday, on the neutral grounds of Spotsylvania High School, the Foxes faced their district nemesis, Culpeper, and a no-nonsense pitcher by the name of Miranda Cropp. The Foxes' only loss came at the hands of Culpeper, during a game when their Battlefield Pitcher of the Year, Taylor Brandts was not pitching.
For the first two and a half innings, the game was knotted in a pitcher's duel, with Brandts cruising through Blue Devil hitters with a variety of fastball pitches, and Cropp keeping the Foxes off the base pads.
However, in the bottom of the third inning, the Foxes found a crease in Cropp's pitching. With one out, sophomore Savannah Nalls lined a double into right field that scored two runs (Brandts, Taylor Balmaz).
In the top of the fourth inning, Katrina Wright walked, and Kara Cuccherini lined a looping single that started a potential big inning for the Blue Devils. However, University of Virginia-Wise bound senior Brandts remained poised and collected. She forced the next three batters to ground out, and strike out twice to end the inning.
During the remainder of the game, Cropp and Brandts continued their pitcher's duel, while the score remained the same. Brandts finished the game throwing 95, resulting in 66 strikes, 12 strike outs, three walks, two hits, and zero runs. Cropp struck out 10 batters, and allowed one walk, and seven hits.
"This was the best game I've ever played," Brandts said. "During the whole season, my pitches were on, while Monica (Brandts' sister) called a perfect game—it was just the best game ever."
Region I game: King George vs. Southhampton
On Monday, during the first round of the Region I tournament, the Foxes took full advantage of their home field situation by punishing the visiting Southhampton Indians, 10-2 over the course of seven innings. In light of their victory, the Foxes are scheduled to host New Kent at 7 p.m. on Wednesday. A victory over New Kent would give them a berth into the upcoming state tournament.
Taylor Brandts crippled the Indians offense with another solid outing, which featured seven strikeouts, four hits, and two runs. As for the Indians, they used two pitchers - Courtney Greene and Megan Duck. Greene and Duck yielded a total of 12 King George hits.
"You can see that Southhampton is an all around defensive team," Parker said. "They have no problem putting the bat on Taylor's pitching; however, when you have this kind of hitting and Taylor on the mound, it's hard to beat. I am really proud of them, they did almost everything right today."
The Indians struck first with a towering double from Madison Colonel that scored Debra Brickhouse. However, in the bottom of the first inning, the Foxes tied the game on a Taylor Balmaz RBI single that scored Kari McCullough.
Later in the bottom of the third inning, the Foxes took a 2-1 lead after an Indian throwing error that scored Brandts.
In the bottom of the fourth inning the Foxes opened their arsenal of offense to score six runs, courtesy of Alex Sheehan, McCullough, Balmaz, and Brandts. The huge Fox inning forced the replacement of starting Indian pitcher Greene to reliever Duck.
The Foxes picked up their final runs in the bottom of the fifth inning, after Duck balked and a sacrifice RBI grounder by Sheehan. In the top of the six inning, the Indians managed to score a run after Kaylee Edwards singled home Zoe Duabus.

Diessen Travel Guide: 0 reviews and 11 photos
This is the quiet and peaceful little village my friends live in. Lot's of farms around here for raising crops, pigs, horses, etc. There was a beautiful horse next door and some across the street with a corn field being planted behind their property line. It was really nice to walk from their house to the middle of town. We visited the little shops and walked back with an ice cream cone.
It was early spring when we were there, so it was still cool and the trees were still bare. But for the most part, the weather was good and it was just right for lots of walking.
We were just in time for the Tulip, Daffidil and Hyacinth fields tho! Although, the fields of flowering bulbs are not in Diessen. We had to drive northwest to outside of Den Haag to see them. We also spent some time on a beach by Den Haag and I had little Dutch pancakes with powdered sugar for a snack. Now that isn't something you'd find on our beaches. They were yummy!
- Pros:Beautiful skies, flowers and friends.
- Cons:Sun doesn't shine all the time
- In a nutshell:Lovely place with lovely people!

Women's Resource Center experiencing ups and downs
This is a bittersweet time for the Women's Resource Center in Wenatchee.
The nonprofit is on the cusp of opening 15 homeless beds at the newly remodeled Parkside Manor to serve chronically homeless individuals, a challenging population to move into regular housing in the community. That's the sweet part. The more difficult aspect is the current financial challenge. Earlier this year, the troubled Regional Support Network suddenly cut $85,000 in funding, which blew an $85,000 hole into the budget of Bruce Transitional Housing.

Radiohead drummer steps out solo, collaborates with Wilco members
Radiohead members Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood have stepped out to tackle solo projects, and the British band's drummer is now doing the same. Longtime member Phil Selway has announced his album "Familial," which boasts contributions with Wilco members Glenn Kotche and Pat Sansone, veteran songwriter and vocalist Lisa Germano and bassist Sebastian Steinberg of Soul Coughing.
Bella Union -- the label releasing the set on Aug. 30 -- describes it as a singer-songwriter effort, "a collection of sublimely fragile, haunting and heartfelt songs that will surprise many, and not only because drummers traditionally don't do this kind of thing."
It's produced by Selway and Ian Davenport of Radiohead's British homebase Courtyard Studios.
Radiohead itself is still working on it's "In Rainbows" follow-up out of Los Angeles.

Emergency Sirens hit by lightning
POSTED: 11:05 PM CDT Oct 17, 2013
Jefferson City officials said Thursday it will be next week before they know if two outdoor emergency sirens will be replaced.
The sirens on Militia Drive and Highway 179 were hit by lightning and destroyed in September.
It isn't clear if insurance will cover the cost to replace the sirens.
If insurance doesn't cover the cost, the city could be forced to pay about $20,000 per siren.
Officials say they should know more Monday after the City Council meeting

|NIST Reference Material Scaffolds Characterized for Cell Response
|April 24, 2011
|Reference scaffolds characterized for cell response are being developed for use as a standard for biological characterization of new scaffolds. The need for reference scaffolds to serve as a calibration standard between labs has been identified as critical to advancing tissue engineering science [1,2]. The Regenerative Medicine Promotion Act was recently introduced into the U.S. House of Representatives which specifically calls for NIST to develop standards for regenerative medicine products [3]. Previously, NIST deployed reference scaffolds with well-characterized structure and porosity (Fig. 1) [4]. The current effort expands the scope to include cell culture data for morphology, attachment and proliferation. Freeform fabrication (FFF) was chosen to make the reference scaffolds since this technique affords precise control of scaffold structure. Poly(-caprolactone) (PCL) was chosen as the polymer since it is used in biomedical implants and is being investigated for tissue scaffold applications. MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts were used for cell response since scaffolds are frequently used for bone tissue engineering. 96-well plate scaffolds were selected for efficiency (fewer reagents, lower cost).

Buzz Links: Here's What 'Indiana Jones' Reviews Are Saying
Critics in Cannes got a look at "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," and now early reviews are here for the film, which arrives in theaters this week. Overall, reviews so far seem to suggest that despite some flaws, the film has more than enough fun to satisfy the popcorn crowd. Those fairly upbeat assessments from critics follow some earlier views on the Web that delivered harsher verdicts. Meanwhile, "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" topped the box office this weekend.
Here's a roundup of some reviews of "Indiana Jones":
- Richard Corliss in Time magazine: "smart, robust, familiar." [Time]
- USA Today: "Even with the ponderous dialogue, it's hard not to have fun on this adventure, and it's good to see that Indy, though slightly weary, still has the goods." [USA Today]
- Entertainment Weekly says Harrison Ford is "terrific — and re-energized" but adds that the film "threatens at times to crumble under the weight of all the impersonal zigging and zagging loaded on for the sake of special effects." [Entertainment Weekly]
- Reuters: "Charmless." [Reuters]
- New York Post: "On a satisfaction scale, it lands squarely between 'The Temple of Doom,' and 'The Last Crusade.' " [NY Post]
- Los Angeles Times: "It avoids being an anticlimax and is entertaining in its own right." [LA Times]
- UPDATE: The Wall Street Journal's own Joe Morgenstern weighs in and says it's great to see Indy–" but the problem is all around him, and it's movie fatigue." [WSJ]
Managers say they increasingly must influence, rather than command, their employees, our colleague Erin White writes in today's Journal. Behind the trend are leaner corporate hierarchies and the erosion of division walls. [WSJ]

Hollande Needs EU43 Billion 2012-13 Savings, Auditor Says
France needs as much as 43 billion euros ($54 billion) in savings this year and next, the national auditor said, setting the stage for budget cuts by Socialist President Francois Hollande.
The coming year is "a crucial one in which the budgetary calculation will be difficult -- more difficult than thought because of slower growth," Didier Migaud, who heads the audit body, told journalists today in Paris. "It will require an unprecedented brake on spending and higher taxes."
The auditor's report comes before Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault lays out an economic plan tomorrow and Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici details a revised budget the following day. Taken together, the events will mark Hollande's effort to get to grips with France's budget deficit as growth stalls, after being elected on an anti-austerity platform.
"There will be tax increases, there will be spending cuts," Moscovici said June 25. "But I reject any talk of austerity. We must avoid a budget policy that hurts economic activity."
The auditor said today that France needs between 6 billion euros and 10 billion euros in savings this year and 33 billion euros in 2013 to meet deficit-reduction targets. France's deficit last year amounted to 103 billion euros and the public spending of the government was 358 billion euros, excluding local government and social security.
Borrowing Costs
Ayrault blamed the government of former President Nicolas Sarkozy for the worsening state of French public finances, noting in an e-mailed statement today that the country's debt rose by 600 billion euros between 2007 and 2011.
With Europe's debt crisis pushing up borrowing costs in neighboring Spain and Italy, Hollande has little choice but to scale back. His repeated promises to slash the deficit to 4.5 percent of gross domestic product this year and 3 percent have reassured investors, and the government has little room for error, Bank of France Governor Christian Noyer warned.
"French borrowing costs are benefiting from the government's "inflexibility" on reducing the deficit, Noyer said June 26. The government needs to maintain that consistency because "markets can change their mind quickly," he added.
France pays about 2.68 percent to borrow for 10 years, compared with 6.33 percent for Spain and 5.80 percent for Italy. The spread between French and German bond yields is at about 112 basis points, down from more than 140 points in mid-May.
'More Painful'
Implementing the cuts will be harder than promising them. Hollande's popularity rating has dropped 7 points this month, with 51 percent of voters expressing confidence in his leadership, according to a CSA poll of 1,005 adults taken June 26 and 27.
Migaud, a former Socialist lawmaker appointed by Sarkozy to the audit body, also warned today that the risk of failing to act now would be that investors and France's European partners would force more drastic cuts later.
"If this is not done now, the effort will be heavier, more painful and above all imposed by the creditors and our European partners," he said today. "The sovereign debt crisis shows that the risks are not theoretical."
Migaud said that France's debt of 1.7 trillion euros amounts to 62,000 euros per household. The debt burden has risen from 46 percent of gross domestic product in 1993 and 64 percent in 2007 to 86 percent at the end of last year.
'Determined Action'
The auditor recommended that the government focus on spending cuts rather than tax increases in order to protect French competitiveness. At 56 percent of GDP, French public spending is the second-highest among members of the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development, behind Denmark.
"Priority must be given to spending cuts," Migaud said. All international experience shows that savings on expenditure is "less damaging in the short term and more helpful to growth in the long term."
Prime Minister Ayrault has told ministers to prepare spending cuts for the next three years. The government aims to freeze spending excluding pensions and debt-service costs and has asked departments other than those of education, justice and the interior to reduce total spending by 2.5 percent a year.
Ayrault has also asked ministers to cut operating costs by 7 percent in 2013 and 4 percent each in 2014 and 2015. Today the prime minister again vowed to meet the government's deficit-reduction targets.
"Growth in 2012 will be weaker than expected by the previous government," Ayrault said in a statement. This requires "determined action" on the part of the government."
