Start-Up Places Pure Bet On Flash Memory
Data-storage systems that use chips instead of disks have been gradually moving into computer rooms, but are generally considered too costly for mainstream jobs. A Silicon Valley startup is betting it can change that.
The company, Pure Storage, is one of many developing hardware that use the flash-memory chips that consumers know from devices like iPods and iPhones. Data can be fetched much more quickly from such chips than disk drives, and the technology offers substantial savings in energy consumption and greater reliability because it features no mechanical parts.
Pure says its storage systems can offer customers a ten-fold speedup over high-performance storage systems that use disks, while requiring one-tenth the power and space. What is more unusual is an accompanying cost claim–that its software can bring the benefits of that performance at a lower price than incumbent hardware.
"If you look at most customers, you don't have to sell the benefits of flash–they want flash," said Scott Dietzen, Pure's chief executive. "The revolution was there, but they just couldn't afford the revolution."
The closely held company on Tuesday is announcing its plans along with an unspecified investment from the venture-capital arm of Samsung Electronics, the biggest flash-memory maker. The Korean company is supplying the startup with so-called solid-state drives that use its chips, while contributing to a $30 million funding round that brings helping the total raised by the company to date to $55 million.
Low-end disk drives–the kind found in PCs–remain much less expensive than flash memory per gigabyte of data stored. Pure plans to target another class of storage systems that use more costly, faster-spinning disk drives that allow users to retrieve data at greater speed.
Claiming better than price-parity with those systems still requires a leg up from software. Pure says programs it has developed sharply reduce the size of data files that its systems store on flash chips–so they typically fit in one-fifth to one-twentieth of the space they now take up on the high-speed storage disks.
Space-saving software has been used for years on some disk-based systems, particularly those used for long-term storage. But those techniques tend to slow data retrieval so they are not used on the high-end storage systems used for many priority business chores.
Vendors charge $5 to $10 per gigabyte of capacity on those systems, Dietzen says. Its systems won't have the physical capacity to store as much raw data as those machines, but the compressed data files they generate yield a price per "usable" gigabyte of storage of less than $5, he adds.
Customers testing the company's products verify the ten-fold speed-up. One is Jeff Gelz, a vice president and chief information officer at MatterSight, a company that helps others analyze recordings of their customer-service calls. He added that a Pure system that has the physical capacity of six terabytes of raw data serves essentially as a 20-terabyte system because of the software compression.
Each machine is also a lot smaller, and generates less heat."It's cool, and it feels like a preview of the future," says Matt Kesner, chief information officer for Fenwick & West, a big Silicon Valley law firm that has also been testing the system.
Pure, though it hasn't disclosed details of its technology before, has attracted attention because of its management. Its chief technology officer, John Colgrove, played a similar role in developing technology for Veritas, a pioneer in storage software whose operations are now part of Symantec. Dietzen is a former senior vice president at Yahoo, which purchased his startup Zimbra, and former chief technology officer at BEA Systems, which purchased another startup called WebLogic that he helped lead. Another recent recruit is Michael Cornwell, who was lead flash designer for the iPod and iPhone at Apple and later worked on flash-based prods at Sun Microsystems.
Investors in Pure include Diane Greene and Mendel Rosenblum, the husband-and-wife duo that founded VMware, and the venture-capital firm Greylock Partners. Aneel Bhusri, one of the firm's partners, compares the Pure's prospects to Data Domain, a storage company that was purchased by EMC in 2009 for $2.1 billion. "Pure has the ability to be a lot bigger than Data Domain," he says.
But there will be stiff competition, from both large and small companies. EMC Corp., the biggest maker of data-storage systems, has also embraced flash-based technology and sells hardware that lets users mix and max combinations of chips or disk drives for storage.
There are also some startups with influential friends. Fusion-io, which went public this summer, also attracted an investment from Samsung. Violin Memory is working with Toshiba, another major flash-chip supplier.
Donald Basile, the former CEO of Fusion-io who now leads Violin, says his company offers comparable price-per gigabyte prices to Pure's without the benefit of compression, and could do even better with it. "Pure has the best team on paper," he says, but he questions whether space-saving software will be a unique differentiator. "We will ship it, too, but we don't make a big noise about it," he says.
But some analysts are more enthusiastic, particularly about the broader point that flash-based technology is going to be a disruptive factor that will keep taking jobs from disks in data centers. Pure is "one company, but one company that represents a wave of companies," says Mark Peters, a senior analyst at Enterprise Storage Group.
As for Samsung, which is trying to promote the energy-efficiency benefits of flash, any products that help spread that message to enterprises "is something we are definitely interested in," says Jim Elliott, vice president of memory marketing and product planning for Samsung's semiconductor unit.

ORANGE BEACH, Alabama -- They came by the thousands to bask in the sun and frolic in the waves. By Saturday afternoon, Cotton Bayou at Gulf State Park in Orange Beach and the sugar white sands to the east were jammed with people enjoying the start of a long holiday weekend at Alabama's beaches.
And east into Florida, it was just as busy in Perdido Key. There, Cassie Marcotte of Arkansas was snapping cellphone pictures of her friends behind Caribbean West.
"My family has always taken us to further south in Florida but this is as nice as any beach I've ever seen," Marcotte, 19, said. "And my dad says it's cheaper, too."
Further west behind the Flora-Bama, Billy Dean was enjoying some beach volleyball action while shading himself under a large yellow umbrella. "This is really the life," Dean, 52, of Rhode Island said, a bushwacker sweating in his hand. "I've been coming here for years now, and I've never seen it this crowded."
In the shadow of a condominium, Katelynn Witt, 22, of West Virginia wasn't on spring break but she made represented her school as she was laying in the sun. "Go West Virginia University," she shouted. "School is done and we're having a great time here in Orange Beach."
At the same stretch of beach, a group of women calling themselves the Louisiana Teachers Gone Wild had formed a circle. "It's the circle of life," one unidentified teacher shouted out, can of beer in hand, adding, "We're great teachers but we're here to have great time, too, and we love this beach!" That was promptly followed by a collective "woo-hoo!"
West into Orange Beach, the parking lot at Cotton Bayou at Gulf State Park was packed as drivers jostled to find any spot. Down on the beach, Mike Hunter, 49, found it easy to get his small piece of real estate on the beach.
"I'm staying right here," he said, pointing at the condominium behind him. "I learned long ago not to rent down here if you're not right on the beach. It's worth the extra money."
At the Gulf State Park Pavilion, the parking lot was beginning to see capacity, Carrie Powers, 28, was negotiating the walk down the pavilion holding the hands of her two young daughters. "Oh, this is our favorite place to come," Powers said. "We only come to the pavilion. It makes life easier when we leave to shower and be in the shade."
Down the pavilion at Gulf State Park beach, Drea Speiglan, 42, of Illinois, was generously applying sunblock to the back of her daughter.
"I think this is really one of the best locations to come for Memorial Day weekend not only because of the beach but also because of the cost," Speiglan said. "They make it very affordable to bring a family here for four or five days this time of year. That and the beaches are stunning."

Featured Golf News
Ai Caramba! Miyazato Hot in Phoenix
Ai Mayazato showed why she's one of the best - and most resilient -golfers on the planet Thursday in the opening round of the RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup. The $1.5 million, 72-hole tournament - the LPGA Tour's first in two weeks - began Thursday at Wildfire Golf Club in Phoenix.
Mayazato, a 27-year-old with nine LPGA wins, was simply superb out of the gate in Arizona, carding seven birdies and an eagle - on the par-5 15th hole - for a course-record-setting 9-under 63, two strokes better than South Korean Jee Young Lee and three less than Thailand's Pornanong Phatlum, Chinese Taipei's Candie Kung, and Americans Gerina Piller and Brittany Lang.
Mayazato has rebounded nicely from an injury she suffered in a car accident three weeks ago. She was an occupant in a vehicle that crashed en route to the Bangkok airport for the HSBC Women's Champions, forcing her to withdraw because of a whiplash. Another player in the car was Paula Creamer, who despite her aches and pains, finished third in that tournament.
Four players shot 67 at Wildfire Thursday, while another 10 posted 68s, including the winner in Singapore, Stacy Lewis, who's budding to replace Yani Tseng as the world No. 1 in women's golf.
Creamer had a 69, and Tseng, the defending champion in last year's second Founders Cup in 2012, opened with a 2-under 70, the same score posted by Karrie Webb, the tournament's inaugural winner.

Baton Rouge Players of the Week
Bryan Stamey
Episcopal, cross country
Stamey helped maintain Episcopal's status as a Class 2A cross country powerhouse by taking the individual crown at last week's state championship meet with a time of 16:49.30. He beat out the second-place finisher by more than 10 seconds to help the Knights clinch their 18th consecutive 2A title.
Victoria Padial
St Joseph's Academy, swimming
St. Joseph's stomped the competition at the state swim meet this weekend, and Padial was a major reason why. The senior swam in four event finals, including the 100-yard backstroke, which she won with a time of 58.69. Padial also posted a third-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle (1:54.10) before contributing to two Redsticker relays. She swam the third leg of the 200-yard freestyle relay and as the anchor in the 400-yard freestyle relay. Padial's performance helped earn St. Joseph's its third consecutive state title.

Saving Small Town U.S.A
Small Mountain Lifestyle in Jeopardy
It all began the day I got a call from Lynch Kentucky City Council President, Anne Carr. My phone rang and a woman's voice said,
"Mr. Close, I understand that you are the IRS Hitman and you know how to get things done. The city which I represent is in trouble with The IRS, and we need your help."
The city of Lynch Kentucky owed the IRS nearly a quarter of a million dollars. Our current economic recession created budget shortfalls. The mayor and members of Lynch Kentucky's City Council couldn't afford to pay the IRS the outlandish fees they demanded. There was fear that the IRS would seize City Hall. The future of Lynch Kentucky was at stake. I hung up the phone and headed home to pack.
My road trip to the city of Lynch Kentucky truly mirrored the American Spirit. I wish it could have been open roads and endless possibilities, but this was a different type of journey. This was a rescue mission for Lynch Kentucky, a coal-mining town that was at the IRS's mercy.
The Kentucky Coal Heritage
The story of Lynch Kentucky is the story of the American Dream. In 1917 the United States Coal & Coke Company purchased 40,000 acres in the Appalachian Mountain Range. The Lynch community would become the world's largest coal camp, with a population that peaked at 10,000 people.
The town was named after Thomas Lynch, the then Chief Executive Officer of the United States Coal & Coke company. In the early days the town was a mix of nationalities, including Italian, Czech, English, Welsh, Irish, Scottish, and Polish.
They all came together, united by the hope of a brighter future for themselves and their families.
Lynch Kentucky and United States Coal & Coke would hit world records for building the largest coal tipple (with a capacity of 15,000 tons) and for coal production in a single nine hour shift. This was achieved when miners operating 40 shortwall cutting machines produced 12,820 tons of coal and filled 256 railcars. During 1919, one million tons of coal were mined at Lynch. The now famous Lynch Kentucky tourist attraction "Mine 31″ once produced 500 tons of coal per hour. Coal mining operations continued being successful in Lynch Kentucky for 60 years.
The Rolling Hills of Lynch Kentucky
Imagine emerald rolling hills fading into the distance, winding trails through a scenic tree-lined landscape. This is Lynch Kentucky. It's located along Highway 160, just a few miles south of Kingdom Come State Park. Nearby is the highest point in Kentucky; towering Black Mountain, 4,139 feet.
The mountain air is crisp and refreshing, the townspeople are friendly and inviting. They are proud of their beautiful city and its rich history. Lynch holds a Grand Reunion Celebration the summer of every year, keeping their town spirit alive. It's the perfect picture of a small town. Lynch Kentucky's ample resources and landscapes don't merely surround its citizens; Lynch Kentucky is in their blood.
Buying Time Against the IRS
Before I arrived, the Lynch Kentucky's City Council was desperately trying to borrow money from lenders which they couldn't pay back, placing a bigger burden on the small town. I could not allow the IRS to bankrupt and destroy Lynch. It was time to roll up my sleeves and protect a way of life that had thrived in the hills of Kentucky for decades.
I went straight to work, collaborating with the Mayor and the Board of Finances to keep the IRS Division Chief and Revenue Officer out of Lynch. Next, I had long conversations with high level IRS officials.
If anyone gave me excuses, I said plainly, "Get me your supervisor." It didn't matter what it took, I would do everything necessary to get the job done. I got the city of Lynch Kentucky into a Stay of Collections, which halted all IRS seizures, levies, and collection actions temporarily. This bought us the valuable time we needed to reverse the damage caused by the IRS.
The Hitman Saves a City
I started at the top. Working like a detective I investigated all documentation, looking for any loophole that could save this town. If the IRS could have it their way, they would seize the entire town. Historic monuments and unoccupied buildings would not be safe from the IRS's clutches.
Lynch Kentucky was low in funds, but rich in resources. Fire trucks, police cars, even waste removal equipment; all of it is fair game when a city owes the IRS. Nothing was safe. I had to work fast. Things got worse when the IRS enacted a Tax Lien as I was ready to negotiate a deal. The Tax Lien prevented City Council from selling or transferring city property. With the Tax Lien Lynch Kentucky practically belonged to the IRS, but we didn't give up.
In the end, I reached an agreement that stopped IRS collection actions, allowing Lynch to function and support its people and giving them time to rebuild. The town's assets were safe from seizures, and the crowning jewel of Lynch Kentucky, "Mine 31″ would remain in operation. Police cars and fire trucks would not be seized; streets and homes were safe again for the citizens of Lynch. The town was saved.
Keeping Hope Alive: Just Another Day for the Hitman
Lynch Kentucky was spared annihilation at the hands of the IRS and the citizens were triumphant. Small Town had won against Big Government. As I was leaving town, I was granted a surprise at the home of City Council Member, Carl Shoupe. His tiny home was every small town American dream: cozy and filled with relics and photos of the past. Carl disappeared into his pantry and returned with 2 mason jars of his prized wild berry jam. He smiled and handed them over to me.
In Carl's eyes was the life blood of Lynch Kentucky. I was proud to have made a difference in his life, and I was a better man for the difference he made in mine. I've done lots of good to help American citizens since I left the IRS behind, but nothing has compared to saving a historic town, its people, and their way of life.
Is your city for sale to the IRS? Is your life…
your hopes, and dreams hanging by a thread?
Your tax problems stop with me. Let's Ride!

2 Tigers greats visit Erie
Denny McLain wasn't the only member of the 1968 World Series champion Detroit Tigers at Jerry Uht Park Tuesday.
Al Kaline, dubbed "Mr. Tiger" for his 22 seasons as a player for the franchise, was there for the Erie SeaWolves' opener of their three-game series against New Hampshire. The Hall of Fame outfielder, now a special assistant and adviser for the team, was sent here to work with Erie's outfielders in general and Nick Castellanos in particular.
Castellanos was the Tigers' first pick in the 2010 amateur draft. He began this season at third base but was switched to the SeaWolves' outfield July 12 in the parent club's bid to speed his ascension to the majors.
Kaline, 77, never has worked with a player attempting to make the transition that Castellanos is experiencing. He said the 20-year-old, who's made one error in 26 games as an outfielder, has plenty of work ahead of him.
"It's a very tough situation for a player who's been an infielder all his life to move to the outfield," Kaline said. "He's got a lot of work ahead of him. Eventually, he'll do fine but he's got some rough edges right now."
Kaline added that Castellanos' challenge is that he must learn the position while also playing on a daily basis. It's also augmented by the fact that Comerica Park's dimensions are significantly larger than those in the Eastern League.
However, Kaline said he can envision Castellanos having to deal with that problem in the near future.
"Nick's a great student and he wants to learn," he said.
Kaline's arrival coincided with McLain's previously scheduled appearance at Uht Park. As the last major league pitcher to win at least 30 games in one season, he was on hand to sign free autographs and sell copies of his memoir: "I Told You I Wasn't Perfect."
McLain, 68, served two prison sentences since his professional playing career ended in 1973. Despite those documented troubles, Kaline said many members of the '68 Tigers still keep in contact because they still live in Michigan.
"(Willie) Horton and (Mickey) Lolich still live in Detroit," he said. "(Mickey) Stanley, Gates (Brown) and (Jon) Warden are there. We have our alumni."
MIKE COPPER can be reached at 870-1614 or by e-mail.

Surprise! It's a fake
The Consumer Fraud Center said holiday shoppers went off a "shopping cliff" this holiday shopping season, ripped off for more than $2 billion worth of counterfeit and fake goods sold by cybercriminals.
"With a depressed economy and fears of the 'fiscal cliff' looming, shoppers went online with a vengeance this year looking for bargains and many fell prey to cybercriminals who racked up over $2 billion in fraudulent sales in counterfeit and fake goods," said James Lee, executive director of the Consumer Fraud Center.
Lee cited data from comScore, which saw 16 percent growth in online shopping from 2011 with almost $40 billion in goods bought online by consumers this holiday season. He also noted the Consumer Fraud Center and other anti-piracy organizations have tracked the steady growth in the global trade in counterfeit and fake goods as a percentage of total global trade from 1.85 percent in 2000 to almost 5 percent in 2011; amounting to $600 billion in counterfeit goods.
For more information on fraud, visit www.consumerfraudcenter.com.
Biggest culprits
Most online counterfeiting over the holiday season was in clothing, accessories, drugs, toys, electronics, personal care items, beauty products, CDs, DVDs and video games, according to James Lee, executive director of the Consumer Fraud Center.
"It's staggering to see how quickly cybercriminals have adapted to online sales, especially exploiting weaknesses in the international supply chain ... to build illegitimate stores on legitimate websites," Lee said.
Unhappy returns
The National Retail Federation estimates the retail industry will lose a whopping $2.9 billion this holiday season from fraudulent holiday returns involving online purchases.
Poor percentage
According to MarketMonitor, one in five online bargain shoppers were duped into shopping on e-commerce sites selling counterfeit goods while looking for deals online.
Even on Amazon
Lee said Amazon continues to build new distribution centers where third-party sellers can direct-ship goods from notorious counterfeiting producers in China and Hong Kong. "We've seen a considerable number of complaints come in from consumers who have purchased goods from what they thought were legitimate sellers who set up shop on Amazon," he said.
What to do
If you do buy a counterfeit or fake item online, the Consumer Fraud Center advises to dispute the charge with your card issuer or PayPal and report it immediately to appropriate law enforcement agencies such as the Internet Crime Complaint Center.

In notes about the state of literary scholarship published before his death, Mikhail Bakhtin (1895-1975) wrote about 'immense treasures of potential meaning' that have yet to be discovered in Shakespeare's works. What is the current state of Bakhtin in Shakespeare studies? This panel invites papers examining new directions for Bakhtin and Shakespeare. Papers may address methodological or theoretical issues, engage in meta-critical surveys of current scholarship, or propose new applications of Bakhtinian concepts to the poems or plays.

MANSFIELD - There are plenty of good reasons to hold a crow hunt: to prevent damage to crops as a result of destructive crow behavior, or for general population control to mitigate predation on song birds and wild turkey eggs.
Crow hunting also is fun, and a competitive way to bring hunters together.
That was Brian Laudermilch's intent a year ago when he organized a crow hunt hosted by the Lambs Creek Sportsman's Club, of which he's been member since he was a young boy.

MARK NANCE/Sun-Gazette
Last Sunday, the club's second crow hunt was held across Tioga County.
"The point of the club is to make it a family affair," Laudermilch said, as his son, Seth, stood by his side. "I want my son to experience a lot of the same things that I did growing up."
To that end, Laudermilch, whose father is on the board of directors, has been instrumental in organizing the club's youth trout derby and youth squirrel hunt in the hopes of getting young people involved in hunting and the outdoors. His efforts have been in response to club members who only take advantage of the club's services a few times a year, often during the first days of deer season to sight in their rifles on the club's shooting range.
The club, founded in 1949, has about 230 members and holds special events throughout the year, including a running deer shoot, clay shoots, trapping courses - and now, a crow hunt, which Laudermilch would like to become an annual event.
The hunt brought out seven teams of two or three people. Beginning at daybreak, the hunters looked for crows on lands across the county and wherever their instincts told them to go.
At 1 p.m., the teams met at the club to compare kill counts.
The winning team took 22 crows, the second-place team took 10 crows and the third-place team killed only three. But some of the teams came away with none.
Davis Williammee, whose team "Old Men" won both years, wouldn't divulge the secrets of his methods. Last year, his team killed 19 crows.
"Crows are smart birds," Williammee said. "But we know what they do, their migrations, what they like and don't like," adding that crows grow suspicious if they hear the same call too many times.
Williammee and his team hunted near Liberty, using calls and decoys. Assisting him was Eve, his black Labrador retriever, who has been hunting with Williammee for the past three years.
Williammee, who lives in Mansfield, has been a hunter all his life. He pursues crows throughout the season to help a few farmers in the area whose crops are vulnerable to attack.
"They just do a devastation," he said.
He spoke of one farmer he's been helping over the years who saw his corn loss decrease from 12 to 3 acres, adding that he hunts crows for at least five farmers in the area. Many of the birds that were killed on Sunday will be used as decoys to deter live crows from area farmlands.
"The farmers like when we come around," Williammee said.
In the 2013-14 hunting season, set by the state Game Commission, crow season began in July of last year and continues through April 6. Hunters are permitted to shoot crows only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. There is no limit to the number of crows they may shoot.

The immunosuppressive drug tacrolimus has been shown to be effective in combating atopic dermatitis in children when applied topically.
In a multicenter study, 180 children aged 7 to 16 years were randomized to receive one of three concentrations of tacrolimus or a placebo. All had moderate to severe atopic dermatitis affecting 5% to 30% of their skin surface. They were treated twice a day for up to 22 days, with a 2-week follow-up period. Researchers found that 69% of the children who received the lowest concentration (0.03%), 67% who received an intermediate concentration (0.1%), and 70% who received the highest concentration (0.3%) had marked improvement or clearing of their dermatitis. In comparison, only 38% in the placebo group showed similar improvement.

Wildlife Research and Diagnostics
Growing Research Opportunities
In 2012, we plan to strategically continue projects with Biodiversity Research Institute, University of New Hampshire, University of New England, Maine Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, and New Hampshire Fish and Game. These partnerships will focus on research that will allow us to maximize our resources to focus on areas that are clearly beneficial to local wildlife, specifically those related to survivability and emerging zoonotic diseases.
Center for Wildlife and other wildlife clinics and rehabilitators can be invaluable in helping to identify disease outbreaks in wild animals, reporting cases where animals have been exposed to toxins, and identifying trends or hot spots for wildliife road mortality and much more.
Wildlife clinics nation-wide are sometimes perplexed about the survivability of an animal after release due to a lack of adequate post-release studies or data; specifically raptors whom have healed almost 100% except for permanent eye damage. The Hope Island Tracking Project is a collaborative project with Biodiversity Research Institute where we are collecting data on a Great Horned Owl with ocular damage (blind in one eye) that may never have been released because of concerns about her ability to hunt. A transmitter was placed on the owl in October 2011 and the owl was released to its home on Hope Island. Center for Wildlife receives data transmission of times and locations for the owl every 3 days.
Close to five months after her release she appears to be negotiating well and for all purposes appears to be healthy. At winter's end we will know better about her ability to survive in the wild in light of her disability. This will give us invaluable information about the utilization of our resources for rehabilitation rather than euthanasia or housing the bird in a sanctuary indefinitely, which we hope to share with the rest of the wildlife medical community. Click here for the full story of her release, and visit our Facebook page or global giving page for updates on her location and travels!
Newcastle's Disease in Double-Crested Cormorants
Over the past several years our professional staff have noticed some patterns of illness in a particular seabird species. Through a partnership with a diagnostics lab at the University of New Hampshire, the Center has documented a possible cycle in "Newcastle's Disease" in double-crested cormorants. The University lab was able to analyze these birds, create a study, and presented an abstract of findings at the 2011 Northeast Fish and Wildlife Conference (click here for an abstract).
We attribute these important findings not only to the experience and skills of our staff, but to the extra time they have been allowed to research collaborate as a result of the financial support that your support has provided that allows us now to delegate some of the lower level tasks once performed by professional staff to interns and highly experienced volunteers. In addition to this study, some of our staff monitor a designated local beach as part of a SEANET study to document and create a baseline for seabird mortality rates.

Tesla Model S Consumer Reports review: Best car we have ever tested
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Product Reviews, Transportation, Videos
The Tesla Model S has just received the highest form of praise from Consumer Reports--best car it has ever tested. That is quite an achievement, and an amazing vote of confidence for the small California-based car manufacturer. Consumer Reports even made sure to reiterate that it didn't just mean best electric car, but rather, the Tesla Model S was simply the best car Consumer Reports has ever tested, period. Standout features like a battery that allows the driver to go 200 miles before needing to be recharged (although that is a $10,000 add-on option,) incredible handling due to the weight and low placement of the battery, and the ability to go from 0-60 in 5.6 seconds. The vehicle tested would retail for $89,650, and to be honest, we'd expect a car that costs that much to be in the running for "best car tested" in any media outlet.
Get a look at the Consumer Reports Telsa Model S video review after the break.

GM reveals the Cadillac ELR plug-in hybrid EV
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: CES, CES 2013, Corporate News, Transportation
General Motors unveiled the long-awaited 2014 Cadillac ELR this week, the first plug-in extended range EV hybrid for the brand. For all intents and purposes, the ELR is a Chevy Volt that's been souped up with Cadillac luxury touches. Originally revealed as the Cadillac Converj, the ELR will feature a redesigned interior cabin that will supposedly define future Cadillac models, with features like Regen on Demand buttons on the steering wheel that let the driver capture the energy generated by the vehicle's momentum, conserving it for a bit more battery juice. The ELR also packs in the awesome Cadillac CUE infotainment dashboard system. The vehicle puts out 207hp, more than 25% more than the Chevy Volt. No final word yet on EV range, though, but the Volt gets about 35 miles before gasoline kicks in, and the ELR is a bit heavier. GM says that production on the ELR is set to begin later this year in preparation for a 2014 North American launch.

Basically, "Eyes Free" will be integrated via the car's Bluetooth functionality and the iPhone itself. The user can then initiate Siri's voice command by tapping a button on the steering wheel, and Siri's responses will be played over the car's audio system. Other car manufacturers such as Chrysler, Honda, Toyota, Jaguar, Audi, Land rover, GM, BMW and Mercedes are slated to incorporate Siri's "Eyes Free" as well. Check out the full press release after the break.

Lexus CinePrint ad uses iPad to merge print and digital to promote 2013 Lexus ES (video!)
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Apple, Handhelds, Misc. Tech, Transportation
Lexus calls it CinePrint, we call it brilliant. The luxury auto maker has created a very nifty interactive marketing ad, which utilizes a user's iPad to bring a 2013 Lexus ES to life in a magazine. From a marketing standpoint, the illustration is very impressive and gets the reader involved in the process of merging print and video. This is surely lacking when just reading a static page or watching a traditional car commercial on TV, at which point we usually just turn the page or tune out. It's still an ad, but it's pretty freaking cool. Check out the video after the break.

Chevy and GM agree to replace our faulty 2012 Volt with new 2013 model!
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Editorial, Features, Transportation
Remember our 2012 Chevy Volt that failed while driving and almost got me in an accident? We updated the story with the details about trying to work with Chevy and GM to get a replacement Volt since we no longer felt safe driving the one we had. After all, it had been in the shop for repairs every two weeks since we had picked it up the first time. Well, we are please to report that Chevrolet and General Motors did right by us, and agreed to replace our 2012 Volt with a newer, similarly-equipped 2013 model. Since this was a lease, it was a bit more complicated than a simple trade. Instead, we did what's called a VIN swap. The result? We keep the same lease terms and paperwork, with the VIN being the only change on the documents. It took a while since the 2013 Chevy Volt wasn't available until very recently, and once it arrived, we needed to wait for all the paperwork to be completed. Still, it was worth the wait. Stay tuned for our 2013 Chevy Volt review.

Elected Mayor or Elected Dictator?
On 3 May 2012 the ballot papers for the Leeds City Council elections will include a Referendum on an Elected Mayor.
By a leader who is an elected councillor chosen by a vote of the other elected councillors. This is how the council is run now.
By a mayor who is elected by voters. This would be a change from how the council is run now.
The question on the ballot paper was chosen by politicians and civil servants in London, and it is thoroughly and deliberately misleading. It does not accurately describe either option, and it gives a false impression that an elected mayor provides increased democracy, when the opposite is actually the case.
All five political parties (Labour, Conservative, Liberal Democrat, Morley Borough Independents and Greens) presently represented on Leeds City Council are strongly opposed to Elected Mayors in Leeds, and urge all electors to vote for the first option, which would retain the existing system in Leeds.
Elected Mayors concentrate enormous political power into the hands of one individual, and such power might be abused.
Elected Mayors can hire their own unelected cronies to run the council instead of the local councillors that the people have chosen.
Elected Mayors cannot be removed within their four year term should they lose the confidence of the public or become unfit for Public Office.
Elected Mayors are less democratic than the present system, and far more susceptible to Whitehall meddling and Central Government control.
Elected Mayors retain absolute power for four years between elections, but a Council Leader and Administration face a local election almost every year.
Elected Mayors will not have detailed local knowledge of every part of Leeds, so they are likely to adopt a "one size fits all" approach to local problems.
Elected Mayors are likely to be much more expensive than the present system, drawing much higher salaries and wasting around a million pounds over a four year term.
Leeds is not alone in this struggle. Other northern cities are also being forced to hold a mayoral referendum when there is no public demand for one. Click these links to view the NO campaigns in Newcastle and Birmingham.
To stop an unwanted, undemocratic and expensive elected mayor vote for the FIRST option on the ballot paper: to keep the existing system as it is.
There is a shorter, simpler version of this website at www.noleedsmayor.net
Elected mayors have no connection with our Lord Mayor, who has a largely ceremonial role, and raises significant funds for local charities. Leeds' Lord Mayor takes the chair at Council meetings, but is normally expected to remain politically neutral, more like the Speaker in the House of Commons than a Party Leader.
Despite the misleading question on the ballot paper, in Leeds the Council Leader does not "run" the Council. Our Leader is elected annually at the Council Annual Meeting, and chairs the Executive Board, which includes opposition councillors, as well as members of the ruling political group. The Council Leader is more like a local Prime-Minister. If the Leader made a serious error they could be removed by the other councillors at any time. During the recent Lib Dem - Tory Coalition in Leeds, two councillors from different parties shared the Leadership, and switched over by agreement every six months.
Elected mayors are modelled on North American city bosses and wield enormous political power. They can appoint their own non-elected cronies and govern without the councillors if there is a dispute. It is dangerous to concentrate so much power in one pair of hands and in America city bosses have sometimes proved to be corrupt. Elected mayors fix the Council budget, and they decide many of the Council's policies on their own. An Elected Mayor is all-powerful. They are elected for a four-year term, and cannot normally be removed from office, even if they lose the confidence of the people and the Council asks them to resign. They are more akin to an American President rather than a Prime Minister, but without the important safeguards that the American constitution provides.
Most of the pressure for Elected Mayors comes from London Politicians and Civil Servants. From their perspective an Elected Mayor would make Leeds and other provincial cities much easier to control from London. Instead of 99 councillors, each standing up for their local communities, there would be only one Leeds politician that they need to get into an arm-lock, and that person might not face re-election for several years.
There are 32 individual London Boroughs, each with its own local Council, so in London an Elected Mayor makes a lot more sense. For example, it would have been difficult to introduce London congestion charging without an elected mayor. The London Mayor sets strategic objectives for the entire capital city, but the individual London Boroughs retain considerable influence over local affairs. This would not be the case in Leeds, where an Elected Mayor would run the entire show, with a four-year gap before they faced re-election.
At present Council Leaders are paid slighlty less than ordinary Members of Parliament, but an Elected Mayor could easily cost three times as much, plus the salaries of any cronies they decide to appoint. This adds up to a significant cost over a four year term, at least one million pounds and probably more.
The misleading ballot paper suggests that Leeds voters would elect the mayor, but in practice the voters' influence will be very small. For example, in London the mayoral election costs £18 million to run, and every mayoral candidate needs to put down a £10,000 deposit, and contribute another £10,000 towards official printing and distribution costs. Each candidate can spend up to £420,000 in total on their election campaign. These figures would be substantially lower in Leeds, reflecting the much smaller population, but even so this is a game that only rich people or rich organisations can play. In practice, mayoral candidates must either be fairly rich, or have rich backers, or be nominated by a political party. The outcome will depend very much on media coverage and most electors will never meet the person they are voting for.
Mayoral elections are conducted under a very peculiar form of "supplementary vote" similar (but not identical) to the system rejected by voters at the AV referendum in May 2011. Each voter names their first choice and second choice candidates. If there is no overall winner on the first ballot, all except the two leading candidates drop out. Second preference votes from the discarded trailing candidates are then counted, provided that they voted for one of the two front runners. If they voted for somebody else then their vote is wasted, so some electors get two votes, while others only get one. It is an irrational, quirky system, that can unexpectedly hand victory to inexperienced minority candidates, as happened in Doncaster with disastrous results.
Leeds City Council is presently elected "by thirds". Three councillors represent each Council ward, with staggered, overlapping terms of office. Each year, one third of the councillors retire, having reached the end of their four-year term. They must seek re-election if they wish to serve for another stint. Next year a different third of the Council retire and may seek re-election, and the final group of councillors retire the year after that. This means that there is a local election almost every year, so that voters often get to know their local candidates personally. They can judge them as people. Electors' opinions of individual councillors make a difference, giving them an effective voice. Council seats quite often change hands, so the Party Leaders and their supporters get the voters' message, even when it is not their turn to stand for election, or if the ruling group hangs on to power for another year.
Election by thirds results in smooth transitions from one controlling political group to the next. When one party is voted out of office, other experienced local councillors are always available to take over the reins. Leeds has generally avoided those huge, disruptive lurches in policy seen after "landslide" election results. Our existing system works reasonably well in Leeds, which is why the vast majority of Leeds councillors want to keep things as they are.
The option to have an Elected Mayor was introduced by section 11 in the Local Government Act 2000. This was extensively amended by the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007, by the Localism Act 2011 and by other legislation which may not apply in Leeds. As a result the legislation published on the Government website is more than usually opaque. If you are following these links you may need to scroll far down the page to discover what the law now says.

Pixar Post had been following the team's progress for close to a year through their YouTube channel and we were ecstatic to see the film finally uploaded this January. With the flurry of media attention surrounding the duo, we were excited that we were able to catch up with Jonason to find out more details surrounding the project as well as some of the "ah-ha" moments during filming.
For our reader's convenience, we have provided the audio interview as well as a transcription of the call. Click the button below to listen to the interview (15 minutes).
After some introductory casual conversation with Jonason, we dug right into the questions.
Question - Pixar Post [PP]
We watched some of the clips that were released while you were filming the project on your YouTube channel and from those clips we never really got a sense of the end quality and dedication to the project until we were able to take a look at the whole thing and kind of...well, the first time you look through it, you find yourself bouncing around the full video. You keep saying, "Oh, I want to check out this scene" or, "I want to check out that scene".
Since you've uploaded the full video on YouTube on January 12, you're around 7.9 million views as of today...you were featured on the homepage of YouTube, you've received some Yahoo! coverage, there were also articles that were either written about you or you had interviews from Huffington Post, ABC News, so-on-and-so-forth...so talk about the whirlwind of attention it has received over the last week or so since you've uploaded it.
Answer - Jonason Pauley [JP]
So, we knew that there were people that wanted to see it already. People that were online that had seen the clips like you said before. So we had these people that wanted to see it, but we had no idea how fast it was going to "go". I've been hearing from all my friends, "I can't believe it, someone else saw this before I did and I actually know you". So their friends were sharing it with them and they were like, "well I know that guy". It was crazy, I had no idea it would go so fast and this morning we were on Good Morning Arizona to do a short little interview. That was fun, its really been crazy - we never expected this much so fast.
[PP] - So, how many interviews and how many conversations have you had about this now?
[JP] - Somewhere around fifteen probably and there are countless more articles but I've only actually talked to...well, that's still quite a few.
[PP] - Yeah, I know. There are a lot of articles out there that they didn't even necessarily contact you, it was more of, "hey, check this out".
You had mentioned that you get a lot of the same questions when we were talking prior to the recording - what's the most typical question that you get asked in regards to this project?
[JP] - We get asked, "How long did it take?'...and it took two-and-a-half years - just about. We get asked, "Why?"...and the answer is, "Why not"? I wanted to watch it myself and we wanted to get experience with filmmaking and things like that - there are plenty of good reasons. And then we hear the same follow up question, "What's next?" and then answer is, "not Toy Story 2"!
|Compare of original scene and re-created scene.
Notice the insane amount of detail in positioning as well as the background
[PP] - I've heard you mention in some other interviews that there were moments when you were thinking, "Hey, this may not even come to fruition - we may not even finish this project". What was that tipping point where you guys said to yourselves or each other, "Are we wasting our time here?" or, "Should we not be doing this"? What was that tipping point when you guys questioned the future of the project?
[JP] - You know what, I don't know that there ever was. We started with Andy's room because most of the movie is there and it seemed like a good place to start...at the beginning. So we gathered up the props and bought the wallpaper and things like that - and by that time it's like, "Well, we can't quit now". So, once we started working it was just, "OK, we've got to get out of Andy's room" because it was almost a year in there because we only did it on the weekend or when we had time. So that was exciting finishing that and getting to move on and go outside a little bit. There were points where we were like, "how the heck are we going to do this" and we said, "well, we don't know - but when we get there we'll figure it out".
[PP] - That's a good attitude to take. You guys probably wouldn't have completed it if you guys tried to think of all of it at one time.
Going along those same lines, if you think about undertaking a project of this size, how did you originally jump in and tackle it to get the accuracy of the shots and angles? What I mean by that is did you do story boards or draw out some shots, how did you break it up into chunks?
[JP] - I wrote out all the different scenes and all the different locations that they take place in. Jesse went and watched the entire movie and paused it at every shot and wrote down every single thing that you see. He has a huge list of every prop and every character with what they're wearing and everything else. So we went through that and gathered stuff up for a month before we even started. While we were filming for the first week, we were using the TV and watching it on the DVD player in the other corner of the room while we were trying to film and it was difficult. But over the summer I had won an iPad from a Disney video contest and we quickly put the movie (the real Toy Story) on there and used that - it was much easier that way.
[PP] - So is that what you guys used when you were in the field as well?
[JP] - Yeah, so we had the real movie on the iPad and then we'd watch it and pause it at every shot, do the shot and move on to the next one.
|Again, notice the amazing details of the items in the background
[PP] - After we had been in contact with you to ask if we could have a conversation, we had mentioned on Twitter that we loved the gas station scene with the semi truck and you had replied to us saying that it was one of your favorite scenes to shoot. So, first question, how did you guys get a semi truck to work with you and then what made shooting those scenes one of your favorites and most memorable?
[JP] - Yeah, that was so much fun. It was one of the first things we did outside of Andy's room, so it was fun for that reason because we were outside. We were filming just as much as we could with just the toys at a gas station that looked nice. And we were like, "we'll just hang out here until a truck comes" and one came to the gas station across the street. So we drove over there, talked to the guy and he was like, "oh, yeah, OK, that sounds like fun". Before he stared pumping the gas he almost ran over Woody's head for us.
[PP] - Laughs
[JP] - It was one of those moments where I was thinking to myself, "How in the world are we going to do this shot without worrying about crushing Woody and the camera"? And then Jesse says, "Oh, we'll do it backwards" and I'm like, "Oh, yes, that's awesome"!
[PP] - Oooooohhhhhh
[JP] - Started next to his head and drove backwards.
[PP] - Holy cow!
[JP] - Yeah, I was really happy with the way that turned out. Watching it the first time I was like, "Oh, that's so good - it's going to work".
[PP] - You know, in another one of your YouTube videos, you did the Rube Goldberg type setup in which you set up an elaborate series of events with DVDs knocking over a clock, which triggered the RC character (from Toy Story) to drive, and so-on and so-on...to eventually complete the simple event of watering the plant. So you went through 48 attempts until the plant was finally watered - and in that movie, much like the Toy Story project that you guys did - where did you find the patience to set and reset many, many times to get things right?
[JP] - Well that was a science homework project so I had to do it....so that was the motivation for that...it had to be finished.
[PP] - Laughs
[JP] - Similarly with the Toy Story movie, once we were telling people that we were doing it...now we have to finish, we can't quit because there's people wanting to see it now. So, it was similar in that way.
[PP] - Did you guys ever work with toys on strings or wires before you started doing the project...or even stop-animation?
[JP] - Yeah, I knew that I wanted to do movies since I was about seven years old and so I would always try and come up with different types of things. I did a lot of stop-motion things with my toys when I was little, so I had a little bit of experience in that. Jesse and his Brother have a puppet show on YouTube called Billy and Chucky so he had experience with puppets a lot - it's one of the things he wanted to do...so he knew what he was doing.
[PP] - With the puppets, some of the scenes had so many characters involved - like the one where they're all coming out of the dirt and confronting Sid - so how did you get so many strings involved?
[JP] - We just had to conceptualize it while we were there. You know the one that I thought would take forever didn't take five minutes - the one where all the toys are circling and coming closer. I thought, "oh this is going to be a nice rest of the day".
[PP] - I would have thought so from looking at it.
[JP] - Yeah, but that shot got completed way faster than almost any of the others there because we just spend more time thinking about it. So it was like, "These strings have got to be pulled from this direction...well no one can be over there, that's in the shot. We'll put this post and wrap this strings around that. So then we pull that from over there and then they'll go that way." It took a little more planning than the others, but it went a lot faster. The one that had the most people helping - the most strings of any shot in the whole movie is when Woody stands up after Sid runs away and all the others celebrate. That had...oh how many people were there...six...seven...eight, nine...almost ten people.
[PP] - Yeah, you can tell, it was a bigger scene that definitely involved, and needed to involve more people.
[JP] - Usually what we decided was, if there's a lot of toys in the shot, or if they're far away, we'll try and do stop-motion. There's a few nasty shots I'm not happy with, but you know, it was as good as we could do at the time.
[PP] - So what's the scene...talking about when you said in your words, "a nasty shot"...what's a scene that you look at and you go, "gosh, I wish we could redo that one"?
[JP] - Well, I don't want to redo any of it! Laughs.
[PP] - Sure...if you could snap your fingers and it would be done?
[JP] - Yeah, there's some scenes where I wish my editing could have been better - which the only way that could have happened is if we would have planned it better while we were filming. There's some "not great" green screening and some stop-motion didn't really work out very well. But there was no way to tell while we were doing it. It's just things like that...and I am happy with the final product.
[PP] - Oh absolutely, yeah, it's fantastic. Like I said, we never got a sense for the true quality of it all until you see it all together...where it's...done well!
[JP] - I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it.
|They even hired a dog actor and rented a moving truck
[PP] - Yeah! So, you were mentioning that you wanted to go into film. What degree are you going towards or what are you working towards right now in school?
[JP] - I'm working on a degree in electronic media and film at Northern Arizona.
[PP] - OK, and for people that might be interested in getting into this - give a little bit more of the background as far as what program you used to edit...what did you use to film it with...did you come up with any kind of steadicam that you were using - how did you do some of those things?
[JP] - Well, I just used what I had and it wasn't much. It was just a basic consumer camcorder. A lot of people were saying, "What, this isn't in HD?" and well...I didn't have HD. So it was just what I had, it was a basic camcorder and then at first I was editing on Adobe Premiere Pro 2 and then that computer had a heart attack and died and we got the newer version of Premiere Pro. There was one scene that Jesse edited because I was overwhelmed with editing stuff towards the end. He edited with Vegas which is a lot more simple than most - but it was what he had.
[PP] - Anything else that you could pass on to people that listen to this that might be interested in getting into film - what's the biggest thing that you learned walking away from this project?
[JP] - For me personally, it was that I shouldn't be afraid to ask people for help or for something that we need because we tried to do this with a zero dollar budget, which obviously didn't happen. But we did get a lot of stuff from our friends and most of the sets are either at my parent's house or a friend's house. It was just a matter of asking people and there were so many times where we needed...like in the car chase at the end, we needed a certain number of cars and hopefully in "these colors". So we'd just go and knock on people's doors and ask, "Hey, could you come out for a couple minutes and help us"? And people we're willing - they were nice about it. That's what I'd say for people who want to do something like this - just go the extra mile and try and do it better than you thought you would have originally.

Alongside wife Stephanie March, 38, the celebrity restaurateur and chef, 48, gave Elle Decor a peek into their dream indoor and outdoor kitchens at their new Amagansett, N.Y., home.
"I've spent my life working a grill, and I never had one at home until now," Flay said. "It took 30 years."
Flay – who used to host an annual Thanksgiving dinner for friends with the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit actress in their Manhattan apartment – says not too much has changed in the holiday sense since the move.
"We had 50 people show up for turkey in Amagansett this past holiday anyway," he said. "They followed us here! I prepared two 30-lb. turkeys and cooked sides for days. I stand at my kitchen island from the minute I get out here to the minute I leave."
March, who seems pleased with her new dwellings, acknowledges that her hubby has come a long way since the days in his Southampton bachelor pad.
"There was an enormous white leather sofa in the living room and four flat-screen TVs," she says. "His place smelled like golf."

New iCloud.com: What Will It Look Like?
Some people just wonder and others take it to the next level. Redditor "illusionmist" noticed that people were beginning to ask "What will the new iCloud.com look like" once Apple ships iOS 7 and OS X 10.9 Mavericks, and decided to take a stab, actually three, at visualizing the answer.
Which image, or a close approximation thereof, do you think Apple will go with for the new iCloud.com? Will the mothership deliver revised iWork icons or will they just go with the versions created way, way back in 2009?
If you'd like to use the cloud background in the top image, get it here — it will look great on your Mac or iThings…
What's your take?

text: Jeremy Renner infrequently plays a pleasing guy. In the few films I've watched him in he's played a would-be rapist, a child molester, a mental patient and a infamous serial killer. It could be simple not to like anyone who puts such terrible characters, but he's so darned cute! I wouldn't say he's classically good-looking or tremendously buff, but there's something undeniably interesting about him. Borderline adorable?

I would like to personally thank Bonna Perrin for all her help and understanding during fair week when the Friends of the Lawrence Memorial Library in Climax held a book sale. I was so impressed when I found out that she volunteers a lot of her time for the book fair, getting things set up, things such as displays, booths, etc. It involved an extraordinary amount of work and dedication that I admire and appreciate. More of us should follow her example and volunteer with an organization that will inspire and motivate. My heartfelt thanks go out to her and any others that helped her along the way. Good job.

When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.
