In Memoriam: Former UVM vice president Alfred B. Rollins
- 03-11-2013
- By Craig E Wells
Former UVM vice president Alfred B. Rollins died on February 20 in Norfolk, Virginia at the age of 91.
Rollins was hired prior to the 1967-68 academic year as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences with an appointment in the Department of History. In 1970, he became UVM's vice president of Academic Affairs, a position equivalent to provost.
Among other contributions, Rollins played a key role in launching the university's Experimental Program, which provided the framework for the Living Learning Center, and helped lay the groundwork the university's Environmental Program.
After leaving UVM, Rollins became president of Old Dominion, a position he held from 1976 to 1985. He was credited with transforming the institution from a regional college to a major research university.
Before coming to UVM Rollins served as a history department chair in Harpur college at SUNY Binghamton and the State University of New York at New Paltz. Rollins, the son of a minister, earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in history from Wesleyan University and his doctorate at Harvard.
Rollins was an accomplished writer of scholarly books and articles, as well as fiction. His best known work as a historian was the book Roosevelt and Howe.

All participants completed the study and all driving sessions. No protocol deviations occurred.
The score was based on a 100-mm visual analogue scale with scores ranging from 0 ("not at all tired") to 100 ("very tired"). Values for the daytime driving session are absolute values (95% CI), and values for the 3 test periods are mean individual differences from the daytime period (95% CI). Greater values indicate worse results. All 3 nighttime conditions (coffee, placebo, or nap) were worse than the daytime condition ( < 0.05 [analysis of variance]) but did not differ from each other.

A physician who practices in today's environment, is likely to work with physician extenders like very qualified RNs, Physician's Assistants and Hopsitalists. The demands for 'scut work' are less in real world than in an Intern's world. A realistic test would be to challenge them with 'panic numbers' like abnormal electrolytes, arterial blood gases, coagulopathies; or abnormal X rays like free air in the abdomen, or pneumothorax or abnormal EKG; after 24 -36 hours of sleep deprivation, since these are typically the issues that the tired future Intern will likely face at 2 am when he is on ER call for his group. I will certainly favor a mid-day 'power nap' of 15 minutes to recharge the batteries. Chakrapani Prakash, MD FACP

Philip and colleagues (1) have validated the conventional wisdom that coffee and napping improve nighttime highway driving performance with their real-life study. Their study raises several questions. First, an alternative factor affecting the ability to drive at night is nighttime visual acuity. One of the twelve study participants (participant number 7) was egregiously the worst under all three nighttime test conditions: 13 line crossings with coffee (3.1 SD worse than the mean), 17 line crossings with placebo (1.8 SD worse than the mean), and 8 line crossings with napping (2.0 SD worse than the mean). In contrast, during the day, his driving ability was comparable to the rest of the test subjects. Cataract disease, retinitis pigmentosa, and vitamin A deficiency are several conditions that may decrease nighttime visual acuity. While these disorders would certainly be highly unusual in a young healthy male and while there may be a large range in what is considered "normal" driving ability, it may be of interest to exclude these conditions as factors, given this participant's consistently poor performance, rather than attributing it to simply fatigue. Nevertheless, when this driver is excluded from the analysis, an informal analysis of the remaining 11 subjects using paired t-tests with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons yields findings similar to the overall conclusions of the trial.
Secondly, while the number of line crossings may be viewed as a proxy for driving performance, it would be of interest to know how many times the professional copilot had to intervene as a consequence. While potentially subjective, this may better capture the relevance of each line crossing, especially since the participants were instructed to drive at high speeds averaging 80 miles per hour.
Finally, it would informative to know what measures the professional copilot driver used to stay awake for the study. Napping, coffee, or another intervention, like modafinil?

Dr. Thomas J. Smith
Distinguished Lasallian Educator 1995-96
You have been selected unanimously by our Committee for Lasallian Education, composed of Brothers and previous recipients of the award, as the 1995-1996 Distinguished Lasallian Educator at Manhattan College. Your leadership and inspiration have promoted, cultivated and advanced the educational apostolate and the Lasallian tradition at Manhattan College. For this, we salute you today.
We recognize in you the qualities that distinguish an educator in the Lasallian tradition. John Baptist de La Salle envisioned the function of teaching as a vocation worthy of a life-long commitment, providing young people with the knowledge and skills needed to make something of themselves in this world, and opening up to them a wider vision of their dignity as children of God. De La Salle's teachers were noted for their competence and creativity in a student-centered educational enterprise conducted "together and by association."
Your sense of association in accomplishing the College's mission is a guarantee of its Lasallian character, while the breadth of your educational vision in the development of the core curriculum has earned the respect and admiration of your colleagues. Whereas De La Salle had to content himself with instruction in simple calculation, you have brought to young people today the mathematical and computer skills they need in today's world. This you have done with time-consuming and painstaking attention to the academic potential of each student. Above all, by the genuine love you have for your students you reveal to them something of God's love and concern for them, by your example as a convinced Christian you show them what it means to live the Gospel.
Manhattan gratefully confers upon you the Distinguished Lasallian Educator Award. Manhattan is privileged and honored to have you as the College representative at the Huether Workshop, a national conference for educators from schools associated with the De La Salle Christian Brothers.
In congratulating you on this award, Manhattan is profoundly thankful for the person you are and for all you mean to Manhattan College and its students.

Three more fall victim to smoking 'spice,' police say
Published: Friday, October 18, 2013 at 1:12 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 18, 2013 at 1:12 p.m.
SARASOTA - Three people collapsed and were transported to Sarasota Memorial hospital after smoking "spice" Friday morning, police report.
Click here to view booking arrest photos from Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte jails at sarasotamugshots.com
At about 10 a.m, two people collapsed at 400 Lemon Avenue in Sarasota, according to the Police Department.
A third person fell ill at 507 Kumquat Court in Sarasota, after having an adverse reaction to the chemicals in the synthetic drug.
Tuesday, four people were hospitalized when they collapsed at Five Points Park after consuming the drug.
"We are going to try to determine who actually sold it, how it was made, who made it and bring those individuals to justice also," Police Chief Bernadette DiPino said this week.
Sarasota Police officers will begin buying "spice," DiPino said, adding "If we find that the substance that they're selling is illegal, we will prosecute to the fullest extent that we can."
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, "spice" refers to a wide variety of herbal mixtures that produce experiences similar to marijuana.
They are marketed as "safe" legal alternatives to that drug.
Spice is sold under many names, including K2, fake weed, Yucatan Fire, Skunk, Moon Rocks, and others and labeled "not for human consumption."
These products contain dried, shredded plant material and chemical additives that are responsible for their psychoactive effects.

David Wilkerson (born May 19, 1931 in Hammond, Indiana) is an American Christian evangelist, most well-known for his book The Cross and the Switchblade. He is also the founder of Times Square Church in New York, a non-denominational church. Wilkerson's widely distributed sermons, such as "A Call to Anguish," are known for being direct and frank. He emphasizes such Christian beliefs as God's holiness and righteousness, God's love toward humans and especially Christian views of Jesus. Wilkerson tries to avoid categorizing Christians into distinct groups according to the denomination they belong to, and as such he is an evangelist with broad appeal.

9Be delayed and wait, Blind yourselves and be blind; They become drunk, but not with wine, They stagger, but not with strong drink. 10For the Lord has poured over you a spirit of deep sleep, He has shut your eyes, the prophets; And He has covered your heads, the seers. Isaiah 29:9-10 10Who say to the seers, "You must not see visions"; And to the prophets, "You must not prophesy to us what is right, Speak to us Lit smooth things pleasant words, Prophesy illusions. 11"Get out of the way, turn aside from the path, Lit Cause to cease from our presence the Let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel."

WATCH IN 720 HIGH DEFINTION!!None can deny the truth of this important message concerning the condition of todays Church.Like counterfeit money in banks there are many counterfeit believers in Church.Fake money that looks real is still fake and worthless and America is full of fake believers who do not follow Jesus.John10:27"My sheep hear my voice and I know them,AND THEY FOLLOW ME."Jesus said that if you practice sin you are a servant of sin still in bondage and unchanged. [John8:31-36] .Paul said in Romans6:18'Being made free from sin,ye became the servants of righteousness." Who do we serve? Sin or Righteousness?Today few are convicted of their sinfulness before a holy God.Without conviction of sin no one will humble themselves before the Lord in real repentance and real faith.[Acts20:21]Where are the 'barking dog' preachers who preach the whole truth and who do not seek to be popular but faithful.A 'man-centered' gospel that tickles the ego does not produce real born again followers of Jesus who bear good fruit. Titus1:16 says,'They profess that they know God,but in works they deny Him,being abominable,and disobedient ,and unto every good work reprobate."THAT IS A SCARY SCRIPTURE! 2nd Tim 3:5"Having a form of godliness,but denying the power thereof:from such turn away."1st John 2:4"He that says,I know Him and keepeth not His commandments,is a liar,and the truth is not in him."2nd John 2:19"They went out from us,but they were not of us..."As the old Hymn says-"TRUST ...
WATCH IN 720 HIGH DEFINITION !!A very serious sobering message from Pastor David Wilkerson. The gospel has been so watered down and distorted that many in the church profess to be born again but show no evidence at all of a changed life. We must admit that the sin and the worldliness in the church and a lack of holiness is a sure sign of false conversions. We do not "add" Jesus to our sinful life. Jesus saves us from sin and we become his faithful followers. We renounce the old life. We repent toward God and place our faith in the risen Lord. This will make us new creatures in Christ and the fruit will be a genuine love for Christ and obedience to His commands. This is part one. Please share this with your friends. The message is very important so you'll want to hear part two. We must examine ourselves to see if we are in the Faith. To be deceived in this area is deadly. We want to have" true biblical assurance" of our salvation. What we dont want is a "false sense of security" is we're not truly born again.PLEASE READ-ACTS3:19,ACTS3:26,ROMANS6:22,1JOHN2:2-6,2ND TIM.2:19,2ND COR.5:17 and take the time to read JOHN CHAPTER 8 !!

An association of communications and network services providers told GSA that any rules aimed at establishing contractor cybersecurity baselines to protect government acquisitions should tread carefully to avoid stifling innovation.
The Telecommunications Industry Association, whose members include Dell, Intel, Lockheed Martin, McAfee and Microsoft, filed comments on the General Services Administration's inquiry into how cyber protections might be built into the federal acquisition process. GSA is looking for public input and stakeholder engagement on how to incorporate the protections as part of the White House's cybersecurity order.
TIA told GSA that any rules would have to ensure flexibility for innovation in IT and communications technology used in federal systems; recognize international cybersecurity approaches and standards; and emphasize federal workforce training in addition to industry education efforts in bolstering cybersecurity in the acquisition process.
TIA said the final report of the Joint Working Group on Improving Cybersecurity and Resilience Through Acquisition, released in January, did not provide enough detail on whether the effort will affect all federal acquisitions, or if some types of acquisitions would be exempt. It added that there was also a "tendency to overgeneralize" on technical capabilities and capacities that can wind up squelching industry innovation. Respecting the need for specific sectors to innovate and to address specific threats should be a guiding tenet in the report, TIA said.
The group added that an increasingly globalized supply chain means the U.S. should work alongside other countries to determine international supply chain security standards. "We remain concerned about the impact on both our nation's global competiveness as well as technology innovation and development of having the United States government set specific technical standards," TIA said.
In President Barack Obama's February 2013 Executive Order for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity, GSA and the Department of Defense submitted recommendations on the feasibility and security benefits of integrating and harmonizing security standards in federal acquisition planning and contract administration.
GSA's and DodD's final report recommended focusing on the need for baseline cybersecurity for federal contractors; comprehensive workforce training; consistent cybersecurity terminology for contracts; incorporation of cyber risk management into federal enterprise risk management; development of more specific and standardized security controls for particular types of acquisitions; limiting purchases to certain sources for higher-risk acquisitions; and increasing government accountability for cybersecurity throughout acquisition lifecycles.

With Ali Al-Habsi and Scott Carson both carrying injuries earlier in the season, the 21-year-old was the Latics' first-choice keeper for eight successive games in both the Sky Bet Championship and Europa League when Owen Coyle was manager.
Although he kept three clean sheets in that time, he was also culpable for a late Zulte Waregem goal which contributed towards Wigan's exit from continental competition and he has not played for the club since December 1, which was Coyle's last match in charge.
Al-Habsi has been in impressive form since he returned from a knee injury, keeping four successive clean sheets in the league, but Carson is now sidelined with a thigh injury while the experienced Mike Pollitt provides Rosler with another option.
Should Carson recover from his thigh injury this month, Nicholls could be jettisoned out on loan to garner more experience, just as he did during a spell with Northampton last season.
"When we are in the last week of January, when they are fit, then we will look into it," said Rosler.
"Now the Europa League games are not there any more we have hopefully the FA Cup and the league until the rest of the season and that allows us to probably let one out on loan.
"That will be most likely Lee Nicholls to get experience, to get first-team football for his development. But we are not there now because we have injuries and we have players not available."

California Wine Co-op to Install Two Large Solar Power Systems
PowerLight Corporation announced on March 21st that it will install 424 kilowatts of solar power at the Northern California facilities of the Wine Service Co-Operative, a leading wine storage and distribution center. The project will consist of a 195-kilowatt system and a 229-kilowatt system installed atop the Wine Co-op's St. Helena and South Napa facilities in the Napa Valley. The solar arrays, combined with energy efficiency measures, should provide nearly 100 percent of the facilities' annual energy needs, substantially reducing operating costs. The project is scheduled for completion this summer. See the PowerLight press release.
Meanwhile in Southern California, a long-running dispute over a much smaller solar power system was finally resolved in early March. Akeena Solar has been trying to install a solar electric system on its roof since 2002, but the Town of Los Gatos, where the company is located, would not approve the system because of concerns about the visual impacts of some of the solar modules. While a lawsuit was pending, Akeena worked to update the state's Solar Rights Act so that it would apply to municipalities, and the updated act was signed into law in September 2004. With the new law in place, the company applied for a permit to build an expanded 6-kilowatt system in January, won building approval in February, built the system, then earned final approval from the town in early March. See Akeena Solar's press release and its related Web page.

Koroka writing his memoirs
A pioneer businessman and politician is writing his life story in a book titled 'No Stone Left Unturned'. We give a peek preview of what should be a hot seller once it hits the shelves.
Mr Kagul Koroka is in the process of writing his memoirs. This no-holds-barred account of his life and times is being edited by two senior academics and will be published later this year.In his memoirs, to be entitled No Stone Left Unturned, Mr Koroka, a pioneer businessman and politician, reveals all in a frank and forthright style that pulls no punches. "A lot of things have happened in my life. I have had many joys and disappointments.
I have worn many hats and occupied many chairs in my life. Some things are the stuff of myth; others are nearer to the truth. It is time to set the record straight," he said.Mr Koroka tells the story in a typical Western Highlands idiomatic and metaphorical style. His book is certainly one that is worth forgoing your favourite amber ale for and will provide much debate and discussion across the country. Indeed, it should afford a source of inspiration for many, a supply of pleasure to his many friends, and a cause of worry to only a few. "This book is intended to share my life with the nation. My hopes, dreams, and disappointments are all here.
My family life is covered too," he said. Indeed the Koroka story provides valuable insights on how to manage a large family, tribal affairs, politics and business with balance and poise. His memoirs will be of direct interest to social and political historians of the highlands, anthropologists, business management scientists interested in good governance and business ethics, and not least all those who seek to understand a man who, in a very real sense, truly left no stone unturned. "I have always tried to ride the waves of enterprise in a largely uncharted sea — come fair weather or foul," said Mr Koroka.
"I want to send a clear message for the next generation about business and politics in the Highlands. Sometimes the way ahead seems unclear but benevolence, trust, and good faith will always pay dividends in the long term."Kagul Koroka was born into the Kopelka tribe of the upper Nebilyer Valley. He was educated at Togoba, Paglum and at Kabiufa in the Eastern Highlands. Among those who had the greatest influence in his early life were American missionaries, Dr Roy and Helen Yeattes. "I do not know why the Yeattes' adopted me.
All I know is that it just happened and will be forever grateful that they did. I remember the first car ride to Mount Hagen in the Yeattes' Land Rover. My father patted me on the back after I got car-sick and he said 'don't worry, one day you will have your own car and will drive it yourself'.'' Kagul Koroka served his commercial apprenticeship in Mendi with a pyrethrum research company called Bush Boake Allen (Australia) Limited. He went into private business in 1971. He started a farming business at Tomba, initially growing English potatoes and strawberries and, later, broccoli, all of which were sold to expatriates in Mount Hagen.
The business later expanded to road-side coffee buying, selling store goods to nearby villages along the highway, and operating a fuel station at Tomba. In later years, the business diversified to coffee growing, construction, and haulage. "It was a struggle at the start and make no mistake about that. I worked every hour God sent and lived very, very simply. I travelled widely buying coffee because Tomba was not suitable for coffee-growing and learned the business and the provincial districts from the bottom up." He entered politics as a provincial politician in 1984 and soon after became premier of WHP. Kagul Koroka's political life can be described as a roller coaster.
There have been some great highs and some lows, but ultimately, it started and finished on firm ground. His political base has always been his upper Nebilyer constituency. He is revered by people from Togoba to Tomba to Tambul. He introduced business principles of transparency and accountability to the office of the premier at a time when the buzz-word "good governance" was unknown. In hindsight, his style of governance directly led to his downfall, but he insists that he would not do it any other way if he were to do it again. A former PEC member in the Koroka administration, Tamai Nukundi, had this to say about Mr Koroka's management style: "We wanted to get money out of the provincial government, but Mr Koroka would wave the budget papers in our face and told us to stick to budget appropriations.
He was a hard man who did not win many friends.''Provincial politicians were not ready for his good governance principles, and they are clearly still not ready, but imagine what the province would have been like had some leaders embraced his leadership style. To be sure, the political setbacks (unsuccessful attempts at national politics) may have been devastating blows for a successful businessman, but he simply shrugged them off and continued with the race. Staying in the game was important to him.
Along the way, Mr Koroka has mentored some great leaders, at all levels of politics, and is grooming the next generation of leaders for public office. One of them will surely take his place, or as Western Highlanders say, the old stump will be replaced with a fine young sapling. "My views are that only good people with proven leadership skills and successful commercial backgrounds should enter politics — no tucker shop-owners need to apply! Politics should be the occupation of mature people who have seen money and run businesses."
Raising 34 children and managing 12 wives takes some doing. A lesser man would have stumbled and fallen. Not only has Kagul Koroka successfully managed the affairs of a large family, but he has also found the time and stamina to participate in community enterprises. His is the greatest success story in balancing family with business and politics. Kagul Koroka is affectionately called "father" by those who know him. In the final section of the book, he provides valuable advice on family, business, politics, and on life in general for the next generation of Western Highlands and PNG leaders as well as ordinary people.
"He talks about his successes and failures, his strengths and weaknesses, his dreams and aspirations, and about his plans for the remaining years of his life."People need to diversify their business ideas — there are too many similar commercial enterprises. "I want to see new ideas and not simply one person copying another and therefore undoing each other. The same is with politics. We will all benefit then and our country will become something strong and great."
***It's fascinating to see Mr. Koroka finally trying to put something on paper regarding his accomplishments and failures. I remember vividly as a kid growing up, that his no-nonsense leadership has set a precedent for future leaders of Western Highlands Province and PNG. Though, he has a huge family; he can be able to balance his life with his family, business, and have time for leisure because he knows the 'principals of management' - one of the fundamental components of good governance which is lacking in our leaders. I admired Mr. Koroka's leadership style and come to know some of his wonderful children. He will surely leave a legacy in WHP and PNG. Can't wait to read the book when it comes out. Apa o, Good luck! ***

DARTMOUTH — Excel Recycling, LLC of South Dartmouth has been fined $15,100 by the Department of Environmental Protection after a waste oil spill at its Charlton facility, according to a press release.
On March 6, 2013, the Charlton Fire Department found heavy black oil spreading across the company's yard and traced it to scrap underground storage tanks that were brought in to be recycled and should have been empty. However, two of tanks contained about 150 gallons of waste oil, the release stated.
MassDEP responded and determined that a cleanup was necessary. It found that Excel Recycling discovered the spill on March 4 but did not take action or report it.
The state made sure the spill was contained and the cleanup completed. The company has revised its facility spill plan, conducted employee training and agreed to the $15,100 penalty imposed, the release stated.
"Timely notification of sudden oil releases enables MassDEP to ensure that cleanup response is started as quickly as possible," said Lee Dillard Adams, director of MassDEP's Central Regional Office in Worcester, in the release. "The good work done by the Charlton Fire Department made it possible for this release to be addressed as soon as it was, despite Excel's failure to notify us."

Hi All,
Just uploaded free Revolution Theme by Brian Gardner. Everything seems OK, except the "Revolution" logo got uploaded instead of my logo.
Anybody know the fix on that?
The Support Forums will be in read-only mode for a scheduled maintenance window on 01 September 2016 14:00 UTC - 20:00 UTC. More information.
Hi All,
Just uploaded free Revolution Theme by Brian Gardner. Everything seems OK, except the "Revolution" logo got uploaded instead of my logo.
Anybody know the fix on that?
In your header is a call to

<a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/logo.gif" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" />
Did you upload your logo as logo.gif and upload it to the correct file-images
Hi 4k,
Well, my website logo was on my site from what I entered in "General Settings" in Admin. How do I retrieve that and enter it in the Revolution header ... without goofing the new header?
Oh, excuse me, thanks for replying.
Where you see Revolution is a graphic. You can download that graphic to an image program and create it specially for your site OR if you just want the title in text replace everything in the

<a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">
<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
Thanks, Debra. Didn't get my tagline back, but at least got my own website name up there ... just replaced the code with that which you gave me.
Want to change the colors, put my own background in header box, etc. Think I'll have a pro do that.
And thanks again for your help.
for your tagline add this in the same div under the h1

<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>

Thanks Alot 4k member. You have resolved my problem too.... you are an Angel
Hello 4K,
I am struggling with the same problem, I can't install an image on the left side of the Revolution Code Blue theme.
I removed the following code from my header.php file:

/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?>

<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>
And replaced it with the above referenced code:

/"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/logo.gif" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" />
As you can see from my page the name is now missing and there is no image.
Before doing this I did re-size the image and upload it to my server. I also added the second line (the bold line) in the following portion of my style.css file.
.headerleft {
background: url(images/nashville.gif) top left no-repeat;
width: 470px;
float: left;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
Can you help me straighten this out?

The MINI Countryman keeps all the appealing looks of the MINI hatch, but combining them with five-door SUV styling makes it a rival to the likes of Nissan's Juke crossover.
The MINI Countryman is available in five trim levels: One, Cooper, Cooper S and Cooper D, plus the punchy John Cooper flagship.
The jacked-up suspension and optional ALL4 four-wheel-drive system means the Countryman can also be taken for some light off-roading.
The ALL4 four-wheel-drive system is available as an option on Cooper, Cooper S and Cooper D models.
The big wheel arches, sweeping styling and big alloy wheels give it quite a rugged look, so there's no mistaking a Countryman when you see one.
All cars (bar the One D) can also be ordered with a six-speed automatic gearbox in place of the standard six-speed manual.
Our choice is the Cooper D Countryman with 112bhp. In two-wheel-drive form this is the most economical choice, returning 67.3mpg and 111g/km.
While its extra ride height and bulkier dimensions mean it's not quite as fun to drive as the MINI hatch, it's still enjoyable and is particularly good in town.
Black light surrounds are available as an optional extra.
Unless the buyer decides to spec theirs with the large 19-inch alloy wheels, the Mini Countryman remains a comfortable car.
MINI's 'TLC' servicing pack covers the first five years/50,000 miles for around £250 and gives plenty of peace of mind.
All MINI Countryman models are quite well specced, with air-conditioning, MP3 compatibility, digital radio, Bluetooth and rear parking sensors as standard.
The Countryman's interior is very similar to the regular MINI hatch thanks to the familiar oversized central speedo, pod-like rev counter and rocker switches for the lights.
The seats are comfortable, supportive, and make long journeys easy to handle. The high driving position means visibility is great too, making in town driving easy.
The Mini Countryman is available with either four or five seats. Four adults won't have a problem with getting in and out, and the sliding rear bench is pretty practical.
The larger dimensions over the MINI hatch means that with the seats up, the boot has a 350-litre capacity.
When you fold the rear seats in the MINI Countryman, the load capacity increases to 1,170 litres.

A day after a judge blasted a Hamilton County village's speed cameras, the village intends to fight to keep them.
Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Robert Ruehlman ruled Thursday that Elmwood Place's ordinance failed to provide due process guarantees to anyone receiving a notice of liability from the village.
Village council member Gerald Robertson told WLWT News 5's Amy Wagner on Friday that the cameras will continue to record speeders, but no tickets will be issued while the village appeals the decision.

HOWTO: convert binary property list (plist) to text in Linux
The iPhone (based on OS X 10.5 Leopard) stores many configuration settings in a property list (.plist file). While these are often text XML files, at times Apple uses a binary plist format. If you are analyzing the file on a Mac, you can easily open (and edit) the file with several programs including the Property List Editor and plutil (to check the syntax and convert between XML and binary).
On Linux, you have several options. You can compile the source code provided as open source by Apple on their open source developer website. Also, I have found a perl version of plutil that works well on Linux.

DMN roundtable on the Cowboys, Greg Hardy, Dale Hansen — and how the rest of us fit into the picture
Were the Cowboys right to bring All Pro pass rusher (and accused domestic abuser) into the fold? Is Jason Garrett a hypocrite for talking about character whilst hiring goons? Was Dale Hansen right to call out Garrett and Jerry Jones' daughter, Charlotte? And what culpability do the rest of us have for continuing to support the team?
David Moore, the Dallas Morning News' Cowboys beat writer, joined me and ace reporter Sarah Mervosh, who has written a ton on domestic violence, for a short roundtable discussion. Enjoy.

Kenny Apologizes to His Mom for "Disappearing On Her"
"The people I was closest to, I've also had this indefinable sense of disconnect with," Kenny says.
Kenny Chesney is connecting with fans like never before on this summer's Brothers of the Sun Tour with Tim McGraw.
But Kenny tells The Tennessean that the closer he gets to fans, the farther he has drifted from those closest to him.
"In the last 10 years of my life, the people I was closest to, I've also had this indefinable sense of disconnect with," he says.
"I had a long talk with my mother this past Christmas and told her I was sorry for disappearing on her, and that was a hard, tough, good conversation to have.
"It wasn't that I was intentionally disappearing, I was just busy. And she and all of them knew that. But I got to a spot in my life where that's not OK."
Kenny deals with those feelings in a song called "While He Still Knows Who I Am" on his new album, Welcome to the Fishbowl.

Give me 5 minutes and I'll convince you that you should sell your house immediately and invest yourlife-savings in gold or a Swiss bank-account.
For some time now we've been hearing about the so-called housing bubble and what effect it could have on your net worth and future. Well, the numbers are finally in and you can decide for yourself whether its time to sell now or try to ride out the storm.
In 2000 the total value of homes in the US was $11.4 trillion. Today that number has shot up to $20.3 trillion; nearly double.
At the same time, mortgage-debt in 2000 was a trifling $4.8 trillion (about half) while in 2006 it skyrocketed to a whopping $9.3 trillion.
So, how do we explain these enormous increases in value? After all, wasn't the housing boom just the natural outcome of "supply and demand"?
No it wasn't. That's an unfortunate myth that should be interred with the withered remains of Milton "free-market" Friedman.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
If we really want to know what's going on, we need to look back at the machinations at the Federal Reserve in 2001, that's when Greenspan lowered interest rates to 1.5% to soften the blow from the stock market meltdown. Rather than tighten interest rates and let the country to go through a period of recession, Greenspan lowered rates and ramped up the printing presses to "full-throttle".
Voila; the housing bubble! Or what the conservative "Economist" magazine calls "the largest equity bubble" in history.
The housing bubble has nothing to do with supply and demand or with the fictional increase in workers salaries. (which have actually gone down since Bush took office) Rather, it is the predictable result of dramatically increasing the money supply while expanding personal debt via home-mortgages.
Remember, the central banks are not in the mortgage business; they are in the "money-pedaling" business. And the way you sell more money is by making it as cheap as possible. The Fed intentionally inflated the bubble with cheap money so they could keep the printing presses whirring-along. They worked in concert with the banks to lower the requirements for mortgages so they could attract an endless swarm of "unqualified" customers who wanted tojointhe feeding-frenzy.
Isn't that what happened?
And, didn't that make it possible for every Tom, Dick and Harry to borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars on "no-down payment", "interest only", ARMs or other equally risky mortgage-packages?
Of course it did.
There are some who will argue that the Federal Reserve just made an honest mistake and were merely trying to steer the country away from impending recession.
That may be true,but let's consider the facts before we draw any hasty conclusions.
Did the Federal Reserve double the money supply in the last 7 years?
Did they know what they were doing?
Did they know that printing more money creates inflationary pressures and reduces the value of money already in circulation?
Did they realize that the money was going directly into the real estate market where it was creating an "unsustainable" equity bubble that would eventually crash and destroy thelives' of hundreds of thousands of Americans whose greatest asset is their home?
Of course, because it's the Federal Reservewhichproduces all the relevant facts and figures, charts and graphs, about increases (and trends) in the housing market. How could they NOT know?!?
In other words, they doubled the money supply and then sat back and watched while $4.5 trillion went directly into the real estate market via mortgage loans to people who were "under-qualified".(knowing that these same people would eventually fail to meet their payments and adversely effect the entire market)
The Federal Reserve knew all of this. In fact, they knew where every dime was going, but decided to persist in their swindle to the bitter end.
Have the real effects of this monster-bubble been softened by the huge trade deficit?
Yes, because America currently borrows $800 billion a year from China, Japan etc. which keeps the economy sputtering along while our manufacturing sector continues to be ransacked.
The $800 billion account deficit is like a sedative which lulls us to sleep while the country is looted right in front of our eyes. For example, in the last 12 years, foreign ownership of US assets has soared from $3 trillion to over $12 trillion.(400%) At the same time, over 13,000 major US companies have been sold to foreign corporations since 1980. Nevertheless, Americans are only-too-happy to ignore these unpleasant facts as long as they can totter off to Wal-Mart to buy little Johnny his new video-game. It's only a matter of time before the scattered, bleached bones of American industry appear everywhere across the American heartland.
And, does the Fed realize that Americans borrowed another $825 billion from their home equity in the last 12 months (to spend on house repairs, shopping, boats etc) and that without that consumer spending the nation's growth rate (GDP) will shrivel to nothing?
Yes, because they provide all that data, too.
So, what does this mean for the homeowner whose future depends onthe steady increase in his home equity? What can he expect?
Well, first of all, you can ignore all the gibberish you hear on the business channel about "soft landings" and a "temporary downturn".
There'll be no soft landings. This is the Big One; Real Estate Armageddon followed by a plague of locusts.
JUST LOOK AT THE NUMBERS! There's a $10 trillion difference between the aggregate in 2000 and 2006! $4.5 trillion of that is new mortgage-debt! That's more than a little "froth" as Greenspan likes to say. In an economy that's currently growing at a feeble 1.6%, a plummeting housing market could pave the way for another (dare I say it) Great Depression.
$10 trillion!?! Some things are worth repeating.
First of all, (if we compare our situation to what happened in Japan during the 1990s) we can expect that prices will continue to fall for years to come, perhaps, a decade or more. Many of the slower markets are already showing a decline of 10% to 20%. This is a trend that is likely to speed up dramatically in 2007 when $1 trillion in ARMs reset. That's when we'll begin to see a truly new phenomenon in the US, that is, people who've always been solid members of the middle class sliding downwards into the ranks of the working poor.
By 2008, if the present trend-lines persist, housing prices will probably drop to 25% to 30% of their 2005 value; diminishing equity value by approximately 45% to 50% for most homeowners.
If you own your home outright; you can sweat it out, but if you got into the market late; you're toast. You'll be joining the throng of mortgage-slaves who are shackled to loans that are significantly higher than the current value of their house.
Imagine paying off a loan for $400,000 when your house has been reassessed at $250,000 or $300,000; that'll be the reality for an estimated 30 million Americans. Meanwhile, inventory will continue to grow (already at an 8 month backlog) the economy will continue to contract, and the dollar will continue to weaken. (Many of the major home builders; Centex, Beazer and Toll Bros, are reporting that profits are down by nearly 65%.)
At the same time the Fed just issued another $10 billion in Treasury Bonds last week raising the national debt to a mind-boggling $8.6 trillion. This loosey-goosey approach to printing fiat money and creating debt explains the recent surge in the markets. As "The Daily Reckoning's" Richard Daughty says, the "bull market is manufactured from rampant government deficit-spending and financed by the Federal Reserve creating the money."
Amen. Its all fluff and there's nothing to it. It'sjust loose money finding a temporary perch before the approaching squall. Don't trust the smoke and mirrors. Behind the merriment and gusto, Wall Street analysts are expecting a collapse…and soon.
How soon, you ask?
Well, Daughty also notes that "revolving credit like credit card loans grew by $2.85 billion, or at an annual rate of 4.00%, to $857 billion."
So, credit card debt is going up, which is an indication that the people who were siphoning money from their home equity have switched over to plastic. That's sure sign the writhing consumer-beast is in its last throes. The end is near.
Why should I care about Net Long-term Capital Inflows?
In another bit of disheartening news the net long-term capital inflows fell short of what the US needs to cover the current account deficit. The inflows were only $65 billion when we need $70 billion to make ends meet. This is another way of saying that foreigners are no longer mopping up our red ink. Interestingly, foreign central banks are buying considerably fewer Treasurys; $9 billion in US securities and a paltry $8 billion in Treasury bonds.
What does it mean? It means that no is dim-witted enough to buy our debt anymore because we're no longer a good risk.
That's a very bad sign. Under different stewardship the "full faith and credit" of the US Treasury meant something. That's no longer true.
Also, according to Marketwatch, "US residents purchased a net $22.9 billion in foreign securities, up from $2.7 billion in August. Foreign holdings of dollar-denominated short-term securities, including Treasury bills, fell by $10.8 billion."
Foreign investments are up $20 billion in one month?!? Are you kidding me?
So, the smart money is getting out of Dodge pronto; leaving the rest of us behind in a leaky canoe.
Thanks, Greenspan.
Some of you may have seen Alexander Cockburn's shocking article "Lame Duck" last week on Counterpunch. Cockburn refers to a report published by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) "a body set up under the purview of the British Treasury to monitor financial markets and protect the public interest by raising the alarm about shady practices and any dangerous slides towards instability."
The report "Private Equity: A Discussion of Risk and Regulatory Engagement" states clearly:
"Excessive leverage: The amount of credit that lenders are willing to extend on private equity transactions has risen substantially. This lending may not, in some circumstances, be entirely prudent. Given current levels and recent developments in the economic/credit cycle, the default of a large private equity backed company or a cluster of smaller private equity backed companies seems inevitable. This has negative implications for lenders, purchasers of the debt, orderly markets and conceivably, in extreme circumstances, financial stability and elements of the UK economy."
The problem is even greater in the US where unregulated fractional lending has allowed banks to loan unlimited amounts of money on measly reserves. Hence, "the default of a large private equity company is inevitable". The whole deregulated banking scam has turned the system into a Vegas-style "crap shoot" with no guarantees that you'll ever see your money again. The same is true with the new-fangled investment "instruments" like hedge funds which contain few tangible assets and more and more "collateralized debt". That means that they depend heavily on the "worker bees" at the bottom of the economic Totem Pole, who are expected to continue making their payments even while the economy begins to swoon.
The present system is fraught with peril and likely to come crashing down in a heap. As Cockburn sagely notes, "The world's credit system is a vast recycling bin of untraceable transactions of wildly inflated value."
"Market transparency" has gone the way of the Dodo. The new "deregulated" markets are intentionally opaque so the medicine men and hucksters who designed them could fleece the public from the comfort of their Wall Street enclaves. No one should be too surprised that the whole rickety contraption is tilting towards the dumpster.
Happy Days in the Weimar Republic
So, what was the "Grand Plan" the Fed had in mind when they decided to anesthetize the American public with low interest rates and flood the planet with worthless green scrip?
Did they think that Bush would corner the oil market and, thus, force the rest of the world to take our anemic greenbacks? Or were they just planning to steal every last farthing from the American people before they loaded the boats and fled to more promising markets in Asia?
Or perhaps they were delusional enough to believe that really wonderful things would happen if they just kept tossing banknotes into the Jet-stream like New Year's confetti?
Whatever the madcap rationale might have been, the country is now facing an agonizing wake-up call as the full-effects of Greenspan's tenure materializes and the stronghold of global consumerism deteriorates into Weimar USA.
In the long run, Greenspan's treachery will loom larger then that of his "would-be" understudy, Bin Laden. He put the country on the fast-track to disaster.
Just watch as the"For Sale" signs go up on lawns across America in Dear Alan's honor.

Milton Friedman?
Not sure I follow the reference to Milton Friedman. I agree with your premise here about the causes of the housing bubble, and if any economist would agree, Friedman certainly would. The notion that economies are moved by monetary phenomenon was basically everything Friedman believed.
You're right about the housing bubble, but your leftist politics keep you from creating the more coherent argument, i think.

Does America understand that they could pay for a house they can not live in for the next 20+ years? Last October our Govenment changed the Bankruptcy laws... you will pay that mortgage and someone else will live in the house.
I lived thru the "Farming" event in the 80's. Farmers paying too much for farmland. It took that sector of the economy years to recover. How many years will the "Housing" event take to clear?
I agree, a very long time.

And it really is annoying doing Ctrl + "+" all the time (when I open

Is there a way of dealing with this?

Softball takes two on first day of Stony Brook Invitational
March 15, 2013
Stony Brook, N.Y. - The Stony Brook softball team (9-13) defeated Yale and Manhattan on Friday to open the home portion of its 2013 schedule. The Seawolves took down the Bulldogs by a 7-1 score, before holding off the Jaspers by a 4-2 count.
Coach's Reaction
"It was a good day for us, especially given the conditions. I was really pleased with our defense and we had a good day at the plate as well; even when we made outs, we made hard outs. I thought the pitching staff did a great job, too."
--Head Coach Megan Bryant
Game One
In the first game of the day, Stony Brook pounced on Yale (2-8) for six runs in the first inning. The big hit in the frame came off the bat of sophomore Lauren Kamachi (Surrey, British Columbia), who blasted her first-career grand slam to give the hosts a 6-0 advantage.
The Seawolves added another run in the fifth courtesy of an error, giving starting pitcher Allison Cukrov (Irvine, Calif.) plenty of run support. Cukrov coasted through seven innings, allowing just one hit, a solo home run, while fanning seven.
Kamachi, sophomore Bria Green (Wheatley Heights, N.Y.) and junior Jessica Combs (Hammonton, N.J.) each had two hits to lead the Seawolves.
Game Two
Stony Brook received more stellar pitching in the second game against Manhattan (3-5) as freshman Jane Sallen (Lake Worth, Fla.) earned her first collegiate win. Sallen turned in six solid innings, allowing just one earned run, while striking out three and walking none.
After falling behind 1-0 in the top of the second, the Seawolves answered with two runs in the bottom of the frame on RBI hits by Combs and sophomore Shayla Giosia (Runnemede, N.J.). The advantage held until the sixth when Stony Brook added two crucial insurance tallies, scoring a pair of runs on a single by Green to left field.
The Jaspers did not go quietly in the seventh. With daylight quickly fading to dusk, Manhattan rallied with three singles to lead off the inning, prompting a pitching change that brought on junior Christine Lucido (Melville, N.Y.) in a save situation. With runners on second and third and no outs, Lucido struck out two batters and induced a fly-out to end the game and give Stony Brook its second win of the day.
The Numbers Game
• Stony Brook outhit Yale, 10-1, recording seven singles, one double (Jessica Zeilman), one triple (Olivia Mintun) and one home run (Kamachi).
Up Next
Stony Brook will face Providence on Saturday at 3:30 p.m.

CES Innovations: TKO
The CES's "Innovations" exhibit at the Sands Convention Center is intended to honor the most technologically advanced and ground-breaking consumer electronic products at the Show. Most of the display cases were still waiting to be populated on set-up day (though we spotted B&W's cute cylindrical subwoofer as well as Krell's Dean Roumanis wheeling in some big boxes). But some of the choices for an award raised our eyebrows, as with this robot intended to train boxers in the comfort of their own homes. Stereophile's Stephen Mejias strikes a suitably pugilistic pose.

Zack "Buck" Wheat. George Brett. Ernie Banks. Leroy "Satchel" Paige. Hank Bauer. Roger Maris. Wilber "Bullet" Rogan. Charles "Casey" Stengel. Jackie Robinson.
The Monarchs. The Blues. The Athletics. The Royals.
These are some of the memorable players and teams in a century-and-a-half of Kansas City baseball. Now - just in time for July's All-Star Game in Kauffman Stadium - that rich heritage is being celebrated in Amateurs to All-Stars, a new exhibit is currently on display at the Central Library, 14 W. 10th St.
Packed with information, photos, and memorabilia drawn from the Library's Missouri Valley Collection and curated by special collections librarian Jeremy Drouin, Amateurs to All-Stars provides a panoramic look at this city's epic love affair with the "national pastime."
It's a story that begins just after the Civil War with city fathers establishing ball parks and sponsoring teams like the Antelopes and the Hopes. Professional baseball came in 1884 with the creation of the Union Association. The first pro game played in K.C. took place on June 7, 1884; nearly 1,500 fans showed up at Athletic Park (near Southwest Boulevard and Summit) to cheer on the home-town boys.
In the first half of the 20th century Kansas City baseball was dominated by the Blues of the American Association and the Monarchs of the Negro leagues. Kansas City became a true major league town in 1955 when the Athletics of the American League moved here from Philadelphia.
During the 1960's the antics of Athletics owner Charles O. Finley helped keep fans amused even when the team was losing. When Finley moved the club to Oakland in 1967, the city scrambled to find a replacement.
The answer was the Royals, owned by legendary local businessman Ewing Kauffman. The team began playing here in 1969. In 1985 the Royals won their first and, to date, only World Series.
Amateurs to All-Stars is on display on the fifth floor of the Central Library, adjacent to the Missouri Valley Room.
Admission is free.
