Paying much more for metro cars
Story Text & Photos © 2012 by DR1
Apr 28 2012 21:01PM
- In a letter addressed to Listin Diario columnist Orlando Gil, engineer Osiris de Leon writes that the Fernandez administration is paying much more for the Alstom metro cars compared to metro companies in China and Singapore. He says that in 2007, the 57 cars of line 1 were purchased for EUR1. 6 million each, while the Shanghai metro purchased the same cars from the same companies at the time for EUR850,000 each. For line 2 he says we are purchasing each metro car for US$3 million, while the Singapore metro purchased each unit for US$1. 5 million. "The country should know that the Shanghai metro paid Alstom EUR210 million and received 246 cars. While the DR has paid the same company EUR194 million and has received only 102 cars without any convincing explanation for the difference for the unbeatable metro," he writes. He comments he was also critical of the Nizaito channel during the Balaguer administration and the Parque del Este sports installations during the Hipolito Mejia administration, as mega projects that have failed.

I personally think that, if she is serious about skating competitively, she should put off Stanford until after the next Oly cycle is over. I TOTALLY respect that it is her choice to make and I will not judge/hate on her for whatever she decides, but I am a few years older than her and I understand in a way she maybe doesn't that actually, it won't be the worst thing EVER if she graduates at 24 or 25 instead of at 22 and then graduates med school at 29 or 30 instead of 27 or 28. Most people who go to med school now (or at least a good few that I know) take a few years off between undergrad and med school anyway to do peace corps, other work, teaching abroad, whatever so she'd be graduating at the same age as them anyway.
This is just my opinion; again, I totally respect it's her life and it is up to her. However, she is at this point (again, in my opinion) just tarnishing what was a relatively strong, or at least solid career.

Whether it's news talk or sports talk, Forever Broadcasting takes a somewhat unusual approach with on-air promotions for its shows and talent.
Surprisingly often, those promos either belittle the hosts or rely on low-brow humor. It's surprising because such an approach diminishes both the hosts and the listeners.
Whether it's a promo that focuses on the intelligence of a news-talk host, saying his brainpower could light a children's nightlight for only a few seconds, or whether it's a promo that a sports-talk show features "the best pair since Pam Anderson," the spots just seem silly.
If the radio market supported shock-talk radio or if the audience were somehow combative, maybe the approach would make some sense.
Instead, it's just a repeated running down of the on-air talent, right there in front of listeners. It's something the broadcast group does consistently - across formats, time of day and stations - and it just seems somewhat counter-intuitive.
Maybe the promotions department has a better, more-developed sense of humor than the audience.
Or, maybe listeners really do respond to such stuff. But the time dedicated to a promo might be better used to actually promote the positives of the people and programs on the air.
Social matters
Forget the baseless, silly social media conspiracy theories about an anti-Penn State bias during ESPN's coverage of the NCAA wrestling championships.
The all-sports network did a good job last weekend and gave the Nittany Lions the attention they deserved.
ESPN made just two mistakes.
First, because wrestling has one of the largest social media followings of all NCAA sports, ESPN should have provided a Twitter hashtag or something similar for viewers to utilize during the broadcast.
Second, the production team used a slow-motion replay, repeatedly, to try to determine back points during a coach's challenge at 133 pounds.
A real-time view would have been more appropriate for viewers to get a sense of what happened or did not in that instance.
Tuner tidbits
n The most-hard-to-listen-to part of regional coverage of the Penn State Lady Lions' postseason run was the continued mispronunciation of the names of coaches and players by veteran sports-talk host Jed Donahue. On radio it's all about getting those right. At least it should be.
n There's no more opposite pair on TV than college basketball analyst Clark Kellogg and studio analyst Charles Barkley. While Kellogg rarely utters a negative word, especially in regard to the work of game officials, Barkley can offer an opinion in any situation. Going from game to studio can prompt intellectual whiplash for viewers.
n Anyone who listens to the Final Four on radio next week (and lots of people do) will hear college basketball and NBA legend Bill Walton handling pre-game and halftime duties. Walton's deep voice and deep thoughts - often a compilation of unconnected-but-somehow-connected observations - usually result in good radio.
n His season might be over, but Penn State men's basketball coach Patrick Chambers worked last Wednesday night, and then appeared in reruns, as a guest analyst on "Big Ten Basketball and Beyond" on the Big Ten Network. Chambers went to his notes early, but did well - as always his personality shone through. It was a good bit of visibility for the Nittany Lion program heading into next year.
n Watch for both ESPN and the NFL Network to air specials about the announcement of the NFL schedule, which will be released April 16. Also, every day is a day closer to the Hall of Fame Game, the season's first preseason game, which will feature the Cowboys and Dolphins at 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 4.

President Obama won re-election on a platform of higher taxes on the wealthy, socialized medicine plans and willingness to compromise. Republicans pounded Obama on his health care and tax policies and lost. Some high profile tea party people lost their seats; others barely held on to theirs. Obama won the popular vote by well more than 2 million and closer to 3 million votes.
Now is the time for Republicans to step up and start working with the president and pass his jobs bill. The fiscal cliff will come and go and taxes will go up on the rich, but only in a way so that Republicans can save face with their true leader, Grover Norquist. By letting the Bush tax cuts expire and then reinstating them only for people making less than $250,000 a year, January will be very interesting.
Any Republican who thinks the Republican way is still their mandate is dead wrong. By the time the next midterm elections come in two years, and if the Republicans have continued to be obstructionist and not willing to compromise, then it will be time for the president and the Democratic Party to go on the offensive and take them to the political woodshed.
Obamacare was just a start of health care reform. Progressives and a majority of the people in this country want single-payer, government-run health care. Progressives want funding for schools, roads and bridges, as do an overwhelming majority of the people. Progressives want the tax laws made so at the very least, the rich pay the same percentage as do the working class as do an overwhelming majority of the people. The right to choose for women is the law of the land, and it is what the vast majority of the people want to keep.
Any Republican who thinks that their election means more than the president is fooling himself. The president is the only person who had the whole country decide on him for his job, and congressmen and congresswomen only have a small amount of people voting for them and their job, mostly in districts created to protect their seats. That can change when or if Republicans become obstructionist again by the people calling them out on it.
It will take the Democrats to sound that alarm in each district where an obstruction exists. A few have gone with this election and that's a good start. We the people still need to finish the job should Republicans or any Democrats start acting like 2-year-olds again with the country's debt ceiling and continue to filibuster presidential appointments and hold up his legislation in an uncompromising way.

HTC may be losing interest in Windows Phone
0. phoneArena 13 Aug 2013, 09:23 posted on
In the U.S., Windows Phone numbers may not be all that impressive, but globally the platform is still growing at a very respectable clip. In the recent numbers that showed Android with 80% of the global market, it also showed Windows Phone with about 9%, which was a solid increase from last year when the platform had 5.6%. Still, a new report says that HTC may not want to keep going with WP...

I knew that. HTC actually looks great in design
9. LetsBeHonest (Posts: 1453; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
Ya their designs are great
and windows phone with HTC One's design bundled with some of HTC's new features like blinkfeed,zoe etc will be awesome
not a fan of ultra pixel though...
19. Altair (Posts: 367; Member since: 02 Feb 2012)
Looks great in design? Dude, if you research this subject a bit more, you can find out that ALL HTC designs have been almost direct copycats. HTC doesn't design anything. It copies other "hit" devices and then modify it a bit and claim it orignal design. HTC One is a good example of that. It is iPhone copy with slight modifications.
HTC Windows phones have strong influence from Nokia devices.
HTC - Silently stealing
22. StreetNerd (Posts: 819; Member since: 08 Dec 2010)
im a nokia fan, but i dont HTC WP's are copies from Nokia. i actually rly like the 8X design
23. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
HTC is a group of thieves.
26. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4210; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
So the Lumias like the 920 are completely fresh designs? Try an oversized ipod nano. That the first thing most said when they were unveiled, and I agreed the first time I picked one up.
27. LetsBeHonest (Posts: 1453; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
I heard somewhere that it was Microsoft who is actually forced to design 8X similar to other WP's. I think they want all windows phone to look identical.
by the way i am tired of this whole copy thing
right iPhones back side may look identical to HTC one's front and blackberry z10 also may looks identical to htc one (but z10 & one announced almost same time,according to gsmarena htc one announced -2013 feb and z10 announced -2013 Jan)
But who cares?? Average people wont recognize and they doesn't care.
Anybody can identify HTC One if it put side by side to z10 & iPhone.
even if HTC did inspired/copied from iPhone, still they put it into good use
and in my opinion HTC One looks,way better than iPhone 5 .(i like iPhone 4 design language better).
nowadays copying/inspiring is common thing so its no big deal at all.
43. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4210; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
I saw a forum the other day that was discussing if the creator of The Walking Dead plagiarized Romero's Dawn of the Dead. They were asserting that he had created the Zombie Apocalypse genre. Now if that really is the case, and whoever came up with a story concept or genre first owned the rights and no one else could do anything with it, we'd have 1/1000th of the TV, movies, songs, and books that we currently have. Unless they do a direct copy they really need to drop this copying thing. Inspiration for the iphone, z10, lumia, and on & on, most likely came from outside sources as well. With the new Impala looking close enough to the Taurus that I need to look for badging to tell them apart, and no lawsuits are brought, other industries need to follow suit.

Oh a Nokia fanboy..
47. Dastrix (unregistered)
That makes sense to me. When I first heard of the 8X, I could've sworn that it was a Lumia device. The resemblance is more than meets the eye.
35. akki20892 (Posts: 3901; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
why anyone want to come in WP if there King is siting.
48. Dastrix (unregistered)
Nokia is King of WP. FTW!!!
39. jdoee100 (Posts: 334; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
Hey Micheal H, check your units in the referenced chart. It's not 5.6% or 9%, it's millions shipped.
2. sri_tech (Posts: 188; Member since: 21 May 2013)
Well, they are losing both android and Windows phone markets.
In Q2 they had only 5% of Windows phone market. Its clear that people are not buying HTC phones whether its android or WP.
Too bad, they made very good devices like HTC ONE and 8x. The past mistakes are haunting them very badly. They did not try to create brand image when they were making record profits every quarter in 2010 and 2011.
Even the HTC ONE is not saving them.
All the best HTC.

HTC already got replaced by SAMSUNG as No. 2 windows phone manufacturer
as now samsung captures 11.5% market share in windows phone segment..
21. ihatesmartphone (unregistered)
And this make me wonder because as we all already know that Samsung is not releasing too many WP phones but still can capture more market than HTC have..

5. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
They should have been more aggressive in there push. Only reasons Nokia and windows phone are thriving are because Nokia keeps launching devices. They support it heavily. Low end and high end. And they spend wads of cash on marketing.
HTC has not. They have released 3 different models on windows phone 8, and while they are good phones, they don't market, they leave that to me and the carrier. Sprint won't advertise their model at all, Verizon won't, and the 8x is too old for att to keep putting in commercials because Nokia released the 1020.
idk why HTC expects returns if they don't put in the effort.
7. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
damnit. meant MS and the carrier, not me
10. Bilpocalypse (Posts: 301; Member since: 13 Oct 2012)
I would relate it more to "bang for your buck". Since launch, people on AT&T have been able to get a 32GB Lumia 920 for the same price as the 8GB HTC 8x. When you take into account that it has 4x the storage, a better camera, a better selection of apps (manufacturer specific apps), wireless charging, and it's built like a brick s***house... Why would you even get the 8x? That's the real reason they haven't been selling.
11. LetsBeHonest (Posts: 1453; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
And people prefer nokia when it comes to WP
HTC does make great stunning looking devices but nokia with their superior camera tech,Lumia exclusives,Nokia's marketing and their support makes HTC and others tough to compete
nokia rule wp market
6. trickster_qc (Posts: 107; Member since: 18 Jun 2013)
HTC is losing interest in Windows Phone. Well it looks like everybody is losing interest in HTC these days.....
But HTC will spend a billion $ to try to catch us up. They should take that money and invest it in an MicroSD slot for the HTC One and maybe bigger batteries.
20. Altair (Posts: 367; Member since: 02 Feb 2012)
Everybody? How can you say that, while WP is gaining market share everywhere? HTC is just a copycat and runs after easy money. Such a cheap follower.
25. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4210; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
He said absolutley nothing about people losing interest in WP, he said HTC was losing interest in WP, and the public was losing interest in HTC. I take it there are no reading comprehension apps on WP yet.
37. amats69 (Posts: 1444; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
LOL just shut up....youre just making yourself stup!d with post 20.
46. luxzy801 (Posts: 140; Member since: 16 Jun 2010)
Yo Altair;
How is HTC a copycat when HTC introduced SMARTPHONES bro!!!
If anything, everyone is copying HTC since they were coming out with smartphones years before your precious Apple and Samsung.
Check facts, then talk.
8. mariosuneo4 (banned) (Posts: 75; Member since: 07 Aug 2013)
PA there is some correction
"it also showed windows phone with about 9%"
in the previous charts, its Mentioned 3.9% in Q2 2013
12. freebee269 (Posts: 539; Member since: 10 Aug 2012)
you should read the whole sentence. it says globally. so yes it's 9% globally. 3.9% in the u.s.
38. jdoee100 (Posts: 334; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
This article is wrong!! I checked the referenced article and its chart. It's not 9%, but it's 9 millions MS phones shipped!! Nokia's Q2 2013 marketshare is less than 4%.
13. mariosuneo4 (banned) (Posts: 75; Member since: 07 Aug 2013)
Global smartphone Market share
its clearly written in that chart
please can u see that chart again??
and android refers to 80%
and windows os refers 3.9%
14. 7thspaceman (Posts: 1546; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
I predict they will make one model of the Windows 8 smart phone and that's it. I just hope they base it on their high end smartphone gear because the GDR3 updates allow windows *
smart phones to use all the high tech smart phones can have. no more Will windows smart phones using just MID tech gear
15. darkvadervip (Posts: 365; Member since: 08 Dec 2010)
Won't be missed got other companies getting on wp as the update for better screen resolution and apps come out
16. veer.d (Posts: 88; Member since: 12 Jul 2013)
microsoft is responsible for OEMs pulling back to windows rt and wp8 because they are too slow in comparison to google speed of developedment.
by the way htc sucks with both wp8 & android.
putting nokia's HAAC chip on htc one can't save them
17. mohit9206 (Posts: 9; Member since: 01 Jul 2012)
HTC should have made more budget WP8 devices like Lumia 520,620 etc.If you don't have budget devices you will fail.Similarly HTC doesn't have any budget devices in the Android either.So they failed even there.Not at all surprised.
18. Shrihari (Posts: 95; Member since: 29 Jan 2013)
actually HTC has woken up and has understood the fact that there is no future in struggling os like windows with shiity developer like ms...instead if they design more devices like htc one and market them properly i'm sure they will have great demand in market...and on other hand nokia will keep dying asking people to switch to lumias...(great phones with worst( sorry immatured)OS)
24. Sondae (Posts: 279; Member since: 02 Jan 2013)
HTC is known for making Android phone aside from that HTC is losing money and its a gamble to put money in Windows.
29. lsutigers (Posts: 820; Member since: 08 Mar 2009)
Agreed but at the same time you don't want to put all of your eggs in one basket. Keeping both platforms gives them flexibility to fall back on if one platform under-performs.
HTC just released the 8XT on Sprint which is a great phone and carries over some of the HTC ONE features into WP such as Beats Audio Boomsound dual front speakers. They just need to put more effort into a high end WP flagship to compete with the top Lumias.
28. taojj (Posts: 33; Member since: 01 Aug 2013)
HTC should bring HTC ONE design to windows platform. It will become a huge hit and will benefit both HTC as well as windows o.s.
45. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
now that would be awesome if they do that
30. quesoesgrande (Posts: 217; Member since: 03 Aug 2011)
Why would HTC want to be apart of Windows Phone 8 with Microsoft favoring Nokia? It just isn't profitable.
31. roldefol (Posts: 4249; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
HTC sees the writing on the wall. Nokia is WP8. Anyone else is an also-ran. They're better off focusing on marketing the One and One Max and pouring their R&D budget into the next generation.
32. zennacko (Posts: 236; Member since: 16 Jun 2013)
I wish they could think about some things that would benefit all kinds of users... I think that android and WP doesn't require different processor architectures to run, if that's true,.why not some dual-boot phones, or at least some dual-OS version phones (which is not the same of dual-boot! dual OS would be something like: "Buy HTC One, Choose between Android w/ Sense, Google Edition, or Windows Phone 8 versions!")
34. zennacko (Posts: 236; Member since: 16 Jun 2013)
That way everyone would be happy, and in case of high stocks of an unwanted version, all they'd need to do is flash the ROM and install other OS on them.
After all, some people would love to see a Xperia Z, GS4, HTC One powered by WP8. And I think WP should leave that "colorful phone" side and start going for businessman-like phones as well, because I couldn't imagine someone serious, let's say, Donald Trump, pulling a purple phone from his pockets lol
WP can remain colorful (because its colors sell pretty well) but they should integrate the system into "more serious" and stylish phones, such as the Z, GS4, and One.
33. GeekMovement (Posts: 2156; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
Nokia is the best Windows Phone.
40. lyndon420 (Posts: 4394; Member since: 11 Jul 2012)
Good move. Best to stay where the money is...Android.
41. AfterShock (Posts: 3698; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
I support this theory if true.
Should have made 8x a budget Android phone.
42. AfterShock (Posts: 3698; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
After all, Nokia is a future division of Microsoft, HTC would be subject to all sorts of hoops for diminishing returns at best.
44. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
Now HTC sees that WINDOWS OS isn't selling well. SONY was the only company next too Motorola never making aWindows Phone because they see lack of sales.
49. gazmatic (Posts: 795; Member since: 06 Sep 2012)
htc was once the best in android and the best in wp....
how low they have fallen
but it is ALL THEIR FAULT
releasing great but half assed phones
8gb non expandable, no removable battery?
that is a slap in the face of consumers
if you are not giving at least 32gb internal then it has to be expandable
if you dont get a full days battery life then you have too make it removable
htc cut too many corners and compromised their devices
nobody can recommend them no matter how good and pretty they are

Aristocrats Wool Cloth Diaper Covers ... simply a classic.
Aristocrats Wool Diaper Covers are a classic cloth diaper cover. Designed with your baby's comfort and protection in mind, Aristocrats Wool Diaper Covers are a 100% pure, all-natural diaper cover made of soft, stretchy, double-layered, untreated wool knit for maximum absorbency and protection. They are your completely natural solution for leak prevention. An Aristocrats wool cloth diaper cover will replace synthetic and plastic covers offering an unmatched level of protection in a soft virgin wool. While these are perfect for both day and nighttime use, with their two thick and thirsty layers of untreated 100% pure virgin wool they are a favorite night-time solution with cloth diapering parents.
Why you'll love using Aristocrats Wool Cloth Diaper Covers:
- For your babies comfort, wool can't be beat.
- 100% all-natural, untreated soft virgin wool.
- Completely breathable - keeps baby's bum cool & rash-free.
- Soft, stretchy waist & leg bands - no scratchy Velcro or binding elastic to irritate baby.
- Can absorb up to 40% of it's weight in liquid.
- Wool has natural antibacterial properties that allow it to suppress odors.
- Air-dry between uses and only wash every 1-2 weeks (for a young baby, unless soiled)
- Pull-up design means older babies can't remove easily.
- Stretchy material fits nighttime diapers with ease - the perfect overnight solution.
- Made in Canada.
Isn't wool hot and itchy? Absolutely not! Being an all natural fiber, wool is completely breathable and actually helps to maintain normal body temperature. Wool will keep your baby's bum cooler than any other material in a diaper cover available. An added benefit to this extra breathable nature of wool is that it helps to reduce the risk of diaper rash associated with heat and bacterial growth. Perfect for the baby that is prone to diaper rash! And, as for the itchy factor (or lack there of!), commercial wool can be itchy but an Aristocrats wool diaper cover will be soft and comfortable on your baby.
If you think you can't get great nighttime protection from wool, you haven't tried an Aristocrats. With a high-quality, absorbent fitted diaper underneath (we suggest our Hemp Fitted Diaper for best results) there is no need to use disposable diapers for naps and overnight any longer!
How many wool cloth diaper covers do you need? 3 to 4 covers are recommended for full time use. For night use only, 2 covers should suffice.
How to Wash your Aristocrats Wool Diaper Covers:
- Hand wash in lukewarm water

Crash Tests: What You Need to Know
Overall, passenger vehicles are safer than they've ever been, but the crashworthiness of individual models varies greatly, even within a vehicle class. New roof-strength tests also reveal that one version of a model can fare better than another. Because of this, understanding how a model is expected to perform in a crash is important before buying your next car.
The most important things to know about crash tests:
- Not All Results Can Be Compared
- Crash Tests Differ by Agency
- Side-Impact Ratings Have Deficiencies
- Government Rollover Ratings Have Shortcomings
- Roof-Strength Tests Provide Key Rollover-Protection Data
- Some Models Are Not Rated
Not All Results Can Be Compared
Model-to-model comparisons of frontal crash ratings are valid only within a vehicle class or between models of comparable weight (as long as they're within 250 pounds of each other). The test reflects how the vehicle would fare in a collision with another of the same model, not versus a larger or smaller vehicle (or a lower- or higher-riding vehicle). A heavier vehicle protects its occupants better than a lighter one if all other factors are equal, but they almost never are. So a large vehicle with a Poor rating is not necessarily safer than a small vehicle with a Good rating. Unfortunately, researchers have not yet devised a reliable method for reporting the effect of size differences on a vehicle's score.
Note: Side-impact crash tests are comparable across classes because the sled that rams the test vehicles is of a consistent size and weight. See Side-Impact Ratings Have Deficiencies.
Likewise, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's rear-crash head-restraint ratings consistently test how well a stationary seat protects against whiplash by simulating a 20-mph rear crash. IIHS combines the results with an evaluation of the seat's geometry to arrive at a rating. The agency requires a Good rating in the rear test in order for a model to earn the group's Top Safety Pick designation. Manufacturers were able to change their seats in model-year updates, resulting in many 2009 Top Safety Picks. For 2010, in order to get a Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must get Good scores in the roof-strength test (See Roof-Strength Tests Provide Key Rollover-Protection Data). Because of that, there are fewer 2010 Top Safety Picks in each category. Back to top
Crash Tests Differ by Agency
There are two testing agencies and they perform different types of frontal tests. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration crashes cars head-on into a solid immovable barrier. Neither the angle nor the obstacle corresponds with the majority of real collisions. IIHS conducts a frontal-offset crash into a deformable barrier that reacts like another vehicle. This gauges how well half of the vehicle's front end absorbs crash energy. Many experts say this test is more revealing and better represents the majority of real-world crashes. Additionally, NHTSA has acknowledged that its New Car Assessment Program hasn't evolved quickly enough to account for marketwide improvements in vehicle crashworthiness. Simply put, too many models are getting high scores from NHTSA, and the differences among them — which exist — aren't reflected in the ratings. NHTSA announced in 2008 that updates would first appear in 2010-model-year crash tests, but postponed the changes for the 2011 model year. Back to top
Side-Impact Ratings Have Deficiencies
Side-impact crash-test results currently aren't as abundant. Though NHTSA has tested more models than IIHS for side-impact protection, these tests are inadequate for two reasons:
- The sled employed to "T-bone" the stationary test vehicle has the height and mass of a car, not an SUV or a pickup truck. This tends to minimize its intrusion into the cabin — making it a best-case scenario.
- NHTSA's chance-of-injury data are based on trauma to the test dummies' torsos, not their heads. Experience has shown that occupants' heads are more susceptible to injury in a side impact, and head injuries are more often serious and potentially fatal, according to experts.
NHTSA calls out a "safety concern" on some ratings on its website, but they don't affect the car's star rating. For example, the 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt two-door report stated: "Safety Concern: During the side-impact test, the head of the driver dummy struck the windowsill, causing a high head acceleration. Head impact events resulting in high accelerations have a higher likelihood of serious head trauma." Yet the car received a respectable double-four-star side-impact rating.
When tested with optional side curtain airbags, the 2007 Cobalt two-door report raised no extra safety concerns, but the Cobalt got a three-star side-impact rating. (Retested for 2008 with side curtains, now standard, the Cobalt scored four stars for side impact, and no safety concern was listed.) NHTSA will begin to factor head injury into its bottom-line results, but not until the 2011 model year. The IIHS side-impact test measures head injury and employs a sled as high and heavy as a full-size SUV or pickup, creating a more dangerous scenario. Unfortunately, IIHS began this program only recently, so ratings go back only a few model years. Because the size of sled is consistent, comparisons of side-impact ratings are valid across vehicle classes.
It's important to scrutinize crash-test reports — not just to determine if the car has side airbags, but to know if they are standard or optional on the car you're considering. In some cars, side bags have meant the difference between getting a top or a bottom score, and it's up to you to make sure the car you buy has them. Side-impact tests use properly positioned, belted test dummies, which doesn't tell us what would happen if an occupant were out of position — in which case the side airbag firing can itself be hazardous, especially for children.
To address this, NHTSA reports now have an "SAB Out Of Position Testing" field that may read "Meets specifications." You should know that this result is being reported by the automaker after voluntary testing — it's not a test performed by NHTSA. People concerned about injuries from side airbags should avoid the seat- or door-mounted type, or buy a car that disables those airbags when the occupant is out of position. Honda and Acura have pioneered this feature. Curtain airbags are considered to be less dangerous. Back to top
Government Rollover Ratings Have Shortcomings
Auto manufacturers and safety experts considered NHTSA's original Rollover Resistance Ratings, begun in the 2001 model year, inadequate at judging a model's rollover propensity because they were based on a mathematical calculation of the vehicle's center of gravity. Starting with the 2004 model year, NHTSA combined this calculation with a "fishhook" dynamic driving test in which the test vehicle swerves suddenly, then overcorrects. The combined results, NHTSA Rollover Ratings, give a percentage chance of rollover — a star rating based on this chance and whether or not the model tipped up on two wheels during the fishhook test. While many see this as a step in the right direction, some automakers still criticize NHTSA for extrapolating some conclusions. Back to top
Roof-Strength Tests Provide Key Rollover-Protection Data
Where NHTSA attempts to relate a model's propensity to roll over, new roof-strength tests from the IIHS reflect how the roof might protect occupants when a rollover occurs. Using its familiar scale — Good/Acceptable/Marginal/Poor — IIHS has begun to rate 2010 models based on how well they resist up to four times their weight in a crush test. Because weight varies among different versions of the same model, it's conceivable that two-wheel- and four-wheel-drive versions of the same model could earn different scores. The extra weight of hybrid hardware has earned the hybrid version of Ford's Escape a Poor roof-strength rating even though the non-hybrid is rated Marginal. For more information on roof strength as it relates to safety, see the related Roof-Strength Ratings Offer Insight on Rollover Safety. Back to top
Some Models Are Not Rated
If the model you seek is missing crash-test results, they may be pending or the vehicle may not be tested. Both agencies concentrate on the highest-volume vehicles. Convertibles are rarely tested for this reason, though for the first time in 2007 IIHS tested 10 models, including several best-sellers like the Chrysler Sebring and Ford Mustang. Results for new or recently reengineered models are likely to appear months after the car goes on sale because both agencies purchase their test subjects from dealerships. NHTSA notes if a vehicle is TBT (to be tested) or if results are pending or under review. IIHS has begun to offer more detailed information about whether or not test results are pending.

It's been a week or so since I checked in not much lacrosse going on since the playoff bye week. Has anyone been watching playoff hockey!? That's what I have been doing this past week. Every game is end-to-end action. My team the Capitals won game seven in Washington, which was a huge win. The Caps' next series is against the Penguins who they will dominate.
The NLL playoffs start this weekend.
Today (May 1st) we play the LumberJax in the first round of the NLL playoffs. The team is anxious to get back into action. We arrived in Portland today and in the team film session you could tell everyone is focused and ready to go.
The LumberJax knocked the Stealth out last year for the first round so tomorrow is a pretty big grudge match. Everyone knows that if we lose that there is no tomorrow. Portland always has a huge crowd of 9,000+ so it's going to be loud and a very exciting environment to play in. This is my first time back in playoff contention since college, but now on a bigger stage.
This has been an up and down season and a long one for us, but I don't want it to end tomorrow. Only three games stand between us and a NLL Championship. Hopefully after tomorrow there are only two games between the championship and us. Tune in tomorrow on NLL.COM at 7:30p.m Pacific, 10:30p.m Eastern to see us take on the LumberJax!!
Western Playoff games
San Jose vs. Portland LumberJax
Colorado Mammoth vs. Calgary Roughnecks
Eastern Playoff games
New York Titans vs. Rochester Knighthawks
Boston Blazers vs. Buffalo Bandits

ARUK funded post-doc position available at the IHA
The Institute of Healthy Ageing is currently seeking a post-doctoral research associate to work on the following ARUK-funded project.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are two devastating, mid-life, neurodegenerative disorders for which no cure is currently available. Large expansions of a hexanucleotide GGGGCC-repeat in the first intron of the C9orf72 gene is the most common genetic cause of both ALS and FTD. We recently developed novel Drosophila models of C9orf72 repeat-induced neurodegeneration (Mizielinska et al Science 2014, 345:1192-1194).
This 3-year post-doctoral position will build on this work by investigating disease mechanisms in a range of C9orf72 fly lines using several approaches including genome-wide transcriptomic and translational analyses in both flies and iPSC-neurons. You will work as part of a collaborative team of investigators in the excellent and supportive scientific research community of UCL.
The post is funded for 3 years in the first instance by Alzheimer's Research UK and is available from October 2016.

Crews are working to restore power to about 25,000 customers who are without electricity days after a Christmas Day snowstorm.
Counting customers at Entergy Arkansas and locally owned utilities, more than 260,000 homes and businesses were without power for at least part of the last week. That number had dropped to about 25,000 as of Sunday evening.
Entergy Arkansas, the state's largest electric utility, says some people in Little Rock, Hot Springs and Malvern may not have their lights and heat back until Tuesday.

Note: Rumour
according to this site http://www.geek.com/...inect-20130212/ M$ next console won't work = start without having your kinect plugged in and calibrated. I know M$ is lately known for stupid things but honestly can they really be that stupid? I play games, just to play them I am not interested in jumping around, yelling and do some stupid gestures with my hands. When will M$ come to the conclusion that Kinect will not hold a candle to the Wii.
Also I find the discussion here http://www.gamefaqs....ox-360/65442319 laughfull at best, the guy doesn't even understand that its still an accessoire only difference is, this time it will be included in the Durango bundle.
Combine that with the rumours about required internet connection, no used games and other crap I refuse to believe that M$ would really be that stupid but then again, who knows, they really seem to be desperate now http://www.gamespot....ncement-6403894 guess what most people don't care about all these stupid gimmicks, they just want a powerful console to play games and not an entertainment hub, filled with netflix, youtube and whatever that's what tablets, smartphones and pcs are for.
Mind you still rumours, but I think the powers will be something like this:
Ps 4 >>>> Durango >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wii U
so if Sony is playing their cards right, they could have a huge advantage this time.

For lovers of Historic Hotels
The mansion was built in 1682 by Bernardo Massella and was the venue for the "Illuminati di Baviera". The first Italian translation of Goethe's "The Sorrows of Young Werther" was printed here. Antique furnishings, lofty rooms, thick walls, rooms with a nostalgic touch and open fireplaces bring the past to life again. Unique location on the traffic-free village square.
Certified by ICOMOS
Special distinction 1998
Distinguished "for the diligent care of the 17th century Hall of the Sibyls and the conservative restoration of the building".
The Masella family constructed a stately manor in the village square of Poschiavo in 1682. In 1848, the estate was sold to Podestà Pietro Albrici and remains to this day in the possession of his descendents. Together with the church, this hotel is one of the most important buildings on the village square. There are several significant areas inside, such as the hall-like vaulted corridor, the Saletta on the ground floor and richly paneled hall on the first floor. In the 90s the owners started renovations in close collaboration with the Department for the Preservation of Historic Buildings and Monuments, rounding the work off by restoring the façade in 1996. Their efforts have added great value to the appearance of the Poschiavo village square.

maker of the Pre and Pixi smartphones, is facing desperate
Banking News has reported that
Palm's production halt continues as it is unable to sell the
stockpile of webOS handsets it has built up. There's no
official word from Palm, but the announcement seems likely to be true
as Palm stock plunged 30 percent to around $4 a share following the
news.Palm has a rich history and helped to launch the PDA and
smartphone movements. Lately, it has struggled to keep up with
Apple iPhone and Research in Motion Blackberry smartphones. And
smartphones have largely killed the market for PDAs, so Palm can no
longer seek refuge in that market. In 2008, Palm saw the
writing on the wall and made an ambitious bid to retake the market.
After much investment, it unveiled
webOS, its new smartphone operating system. In June 2009,
the Palm Pre launched
on Sprint, America's third largest wireless
carrier. Commentary on the smartphone and its OS
was mixed, but overall was somewhat positive. The interface was
much like the iPhone, but it lacked the iPhone's extensive app
library and used slower interpreted code for apps (as opposed to
native code). Perks, though, included multitasking and a
physical keyboard.Since the launch of the Pre, Palm has done
its best to beef up its offerings, releasing the cheaper Palm Pixi
handset and the Palm Pre Plus on Verizon, the nation's largest
network (Sprint was the first to get the Pixi). It also
released a new software development kit that allowed native
application code via the Simple Direct MediaLayer. The results
were impressive -- Palm devs were able to quickly port both Doom and
Quake to the phone, a feat impossible with interpreted code.For
all that effort, Palm's sales continued to slip as it saw Apple and
RIM post gains. People simply didn't seem interested in the
Palm handsets. Over
The Air in
February reported that Palm had shut down its production of webOS
handsets. Palm claimed at the time that the shutdown was
temporary -- just a closure for the Chinese New Year.Now it
appears that the shutdown was not just for the holidays. Palm's
poor sales, showcased by its miserable
Q1 2010 calendar quarter (its fiscal Q3 2010), are catching
up to it and it is developing a large overstock of webOS
phones. According
to Morgan Stanley Analyst Ehud Geldblum, Palm this quarter
produced 960,000 phones, but amazingly has only sold 408,000 of
them. The total overstock is estimated to be 1.5 million units,
following a 29 percent drop in sales in the first quarter of this
year, which ends at the end of this month. Palm's revenue has
reportedly dropped $22M USD over the current quarter.To put
Palm's unfortunate failure in context, Google's Android sold
5.5 million units in Q4 2009 and Apple moved 7.5 million
iPhones. That means that Palm's sales for entire quarter are
approximately the number of units Apple or Google sell in a single
week.Even if Palm was incredibly able to continue the sales
pace of its Pre and Pixi (which is perhaps possible given its new
Verizon contact), it would take nearly a year before it could sell
off its stock. By then new Android handsets would have arrived,
a new iPhone, and Windows
Mobile 7 -- all while Palm is stuck trying to unload
increasingly dated handsets.Palm will likely be forced to
turn to deep discounting. At first blush this might seem happy
news for the consumer, but ultimately it is not a
good thing as it will hurt Palm badly, which in turn will hurt Palm's
ability to promote a successful app market for consumers.
all the bad news surrounding Palm these days, there was a bit of good
news for the company today. AT&T announced that both the Pre Plus
and the Pixi Plus will
be heading to its network "soon".

Why can someone own a car and understand horsepower/gas mileage/safety ratings/etc... but not comprehend the most basic fundamentals to the inner workings of a computer (whether mac OR apple based)?
quote: And the reason they don't bother to market to people like that is because such people are a tiny, tiny percentage of the market.

The reason that Apple products sell so well, why their product growth rate is so high, is precisely because they don't market to people like those quoted above.

The only reason why MAC's are does not get Maleware/Viruses/Trojans/Worms its because of the exact reason you stated - MACS have a very little demographic of users and owners (4%-7% of all PC's in the world).Why would a hacker trying to get money, hack MACs (4% of PCs) when they can hack Windows based PCs (90%+ of PCs). Also your MAC if its MSRP was $1200, have the same identical PC components inside as a $400 Windows PC. There IS absolutely no difference besides the shiny outside and the MAC Operating System.
quote: Meanwhile in the real world (where I prefer to live) there are no viruses or propagating malware for Macs while every day tens of thousands of Windows PCs get infected.

Top Definition
In BDSM, TPE refers to a type of relationship: total power exchange. The implication is that the dominant partner has complete control and authority over the submissive in all areas and at all times, even when they're not actively engaged in a scene. Most couples will, however, agree to a set of terms and limits beforehand, which can be renegotiated if it becomes necessary.
It takes a lot of trust to go TPE. I wouldn't give someone that level of control until we'd been together for quite some time!

More than 110 volunteers and emergency personnel combed through several hundred yards of brush, woods and ponds for hours Friday in West Ashley, searching for any clue that might lead them closer to answering a question that's lingered for almost two years: What happened to Gayle McCaffrey?
To offer tips
Authorities are asking anyone who may have information in this case to contact the Charleston County Sheriff's Office at 843-202-1700 or Crime Stoppers at 843-554-1111.
Investigators came up empty again this time, but the case is far from being cold, according to authorities.
Friday's search is one of at least five that authorities have conducted for clues in connection to the 2012 disappearance of the mother of two. She was 36 years old at the time of her disappearance.
The search was not sparked by any new clues, according to sheriff's Maj. Eric Watson. Investigators, however, have spent the last few months re-evaluating the case.
"Someone in the group had a concern about a particular area in terms of the searches we had done before," said Sheriff Al Cannon. "We thought perhaps it was something we needed to research."
Investigators retraced their footsteps in hopes of finding something new in the area of S.C. Highway 61 near Bees Ferry Road Friday with 10 groups of local emergency responders and other volunteers searching the area on foot and by air in the helicopter.
It's not far from where Gayle McCaffrey was living with her children and her husband, Robert, who authorities have identified as a suspect in the case.
Investigators have said they believe foul play is at work and that Robert McCaffrey is involved in her disappearance.
He has never been charged and has only spoken to investigators once, according to authorities.
Investigators have not talked with him since his first interview, despite several requests, according to Watson.
"We've sent letters to his attorney more than once," Watson said. "We even offered him to take a polygraph test."
Chris Lizzi, Robert McCaffrey's attorney, has previously told The Post and Courier that he's offered his client for questioning in the past.
Lizzi did not respond to a request for comment Friday.
Robert McCaffrey, a 42-year-old carpenter, comes and goes from the Lowcountry and the Upstate, where he has family.
McCaffrey reported his wife missing March 18, 2012. He told authorities he last saw her the night before at 10 p.m. before he traveled to Easley. When he returned home the next day, she was gone.
Cannon has previously said that authorities believe the farewell note she supposedly left was "bogus." Authorities had found the note along with Gayle McCaffrey's purse, wedding ring and her cellphone at her home.
While Robert McCaffrey was out the night of March 17, after he said he left his wife at home, he was pulled over in the Upstate after a patrol officer spotted his Dodge Ram speeding through Travelers Rest. McCaffrey had a handgun in his vehicle, according to authorities. He owned the firearm, and the officer determined that no crimes beyond the traffic violation were committed and they cited him for speeding.
Authorities said they plan to return and search the Travelers Rest area as well to look for clues.
"One of the problems in the case is that you have a lot of potential area in terms of from here to Travelers Rest and anywhere in between," Cannon said. "So we've sought to search those areas we felt were most likely. But the possibilities are obviously very many as to where she might be located."
Despite the challenges, Cannon said he's still confident this case will be resolved.
"We've had a lot of folks who have invested a great deal of time in this case," Cannon said. "We've had a lot of interaction with the family and just feel an obligation to bring some closure to this."
In October, a judge granted permanent custody of the McCaffrey's two children to one of Gayle McCaffrey's sisters, Debbie Pearson. The kids had been staying with her since their mother had gone missing. Pearson hopes one day her family will get the answers they've been waiting for.
"Our family is grateful that the police continue searching for Gayle even though it has been over two years," said Pearson. "We would like to have closure."

The search continues for Gayle McCaffrey, who was reported missing March 18, 2012.×

I am creating menus in website.map file.My task is to achieve controlling menus based on roles.The menus should be handled in code.
This method avoids every time fetching database to control user on accessing menus.
I am done with menus,but i don't no how to use in code.Please help me by sending code.
Hi all,
I've been experimenting with the Windows Azure Accelerator for Web Roles and I think it is exactly what I need: Multiple websites hosted on the same web role (and instances). I have managed to create websites and deploy successfully with no problems.
However, I could not find any way to create virtual directories, set applications, set redirections etc. The features that allowed me to do this (through the Windows Azure Service Definition configuration file) do not seem to apply to web roles using the Azure Accelerator. Then how do you manage to create virtual directories and set applications etc when using the Azure Accelerator?

Proving to be one of the most sought-after celebrities at this weekend's Kentucky Derby, Larry Birkhead beamed when talking about his nearly 8-month-old daughter, Dannielynn.
"The nursery is all pink," Birkhead, 34, told PEOPLE of the baby's room. (Pink was the favorite color of Dannielynn's mom, the late Anna Nicole Smith.)
The baby also is already developing distinctive tastes, according to her father. "She loves Disney characters and zoo characters," says Birkhead.
As for the nursery's decor, "I did it all myself," he says.
"There are actually three nurseries," adds Birkhead, who, after picking up Dannielynn from the Bahamas on May 1, brought her to meet his folks in Kentucky. He, meanwhile, calls Los Angeles home.
Being a single parent, especially one living out of a suitcase, he says, is "crazy. I try to get a lot of rest and relaxation, but being a new dad, it's kinda tough."
What comes first? "I change a lot of diapers. [There's] a lot of bottles and outfits. I've been spit on, scratched, kicked, punched, and it's all good, because," he says, "it feels good to be home and share the excitement with family and friends and everybody that's been so kind to me and supportive."
Of Kentucky, he says, "There's a lot of love outside these gates. I wasn't even aware that anybody even knows who I am, but apparently some people watch the news!"
Birkhead, who met Smith in 2004 at the pre-Derby Barnstable Brown party, attended this year's bash with his sister, Judy Birkhead. He was also seen at Saturday's big race itself with his Friday night hosts, Priscilla Barnstable and Patricia Barnstable Brown.
At their party, which is a fundraiser for diabetes research (Brown's husband, David, died of the disease in 2003), Birkhead, when asked how it felt to return, replied, "It's a great charity, a great event, a great time. Although I don't really have energy ... I wanted to make a special point to be here, not only to give support to charity but also to the memories I have here that I share with Anna Nicole and our first encounter and ... "
And, with that, he started to cry.

Ashlee Simpson has nothing but praise for her sister Jessica as a great mom – and as a mom-to-be.
"Jess is awesome," Simpson told PEOPLE in the way of a pregnancy update on her sister, who's expecting her second child. "I think we both equally look up to each other ... [She's] my big sister and I'm proud of her."
"And she's a great mom – and a great pregnant lady," Ashlee continued.
The younger Simpson, 28, joined her gal pals for a night out Thursday at Los Angeles's Pink Taco for a Svedka vodka-sponsored "Throwback Thursday" party, featuring performances by acts including All-4-One and Debbie Gibson.
There she rocked out to '90s tunes with her cousin, her best friend and her publicist, wearing an Izmaylova dress with a Lizzie Fortunato necklace, her blonde hair pulled up high in a sleek top-knot. She took to the floor to slow dance with a friend and then passionately belted out retro tunes.
Simpson also told PEOPLE her son Bronx has bonded nicely with Aunt Jessica, 32, and her daughter Maxwell, 8 months.
"Bronx loves her, Bronx loves Maxwell, we're all there," she said of their growing extended family as a new baby is on the way and Jessica works to create a new TV show based on her life.
"She's got all our support, naturally, but she's a strong woman," said Ashlee. "[She's a] woman to look up to and a big sister I'm proud of."
Bronx, she added, is also happy about welcoming another baby into their family.
"He's excited for the new one!" Simpson said.
