Image Is Everything
Improvements in software make it easier to add graphic quality to CAD.
By James L. Sipes, ASLA
Landscape architects who learned to create drawings with
trace paper, parallel bars, No. 2 pencils, and markers cringe at the idea of
having to settle for drawings generated with CAD (computer-aided design)
programs. Prevailing thought has always been that CAD drawings are cold and
sterile and lack the richness and warmth of hand-generated drawings. That was
certainly true for years, but no longer. Many landscape architecture firms are
finding that they can generate CAD drawings that have much higher graphic
quality than ever before.
Integrating Color
Every landscape architect who uses AutoCAD should know about
M-Color, a plug-in for AutoCAD. M-Color offers a wide variety of drawing,
editing, and conversion tools that can be accessed as a pull-down menu, just
like any other set of AutoCAD commands.
M-Color was originally developed by Motive Systems back in
1989, but somehow it has escaped the attention of most landscape architects.
That is surprising, considering how much we depend upon CAD. Perhaps one reason
is that M-Color is often referred to as a "plotting" program, not a
visualization program. Even in its brochure, Motive Systems calls M-Color a
"professional color plotting software package."

Just one operating system on C: is fine. You format the new partition if it hasn't been done already, that's about it. Remember, when transferring files from one location to another always use Copy and Paste. Once you confirm the transfer, you can delete the originals if desired. Cut and paste is dangerous to do if you get a blue screen, freeze-up, reboot etc.
I like to copy paste small chunks of data rather than whole partitions also. Basically a few gigs at a time.

The 2009 MLB season is well underway, as time has fast approached onto the MLB Rookie Draft.
With the first overall pick, the Nationals are all but set on pitching phenom, Steven Strasburg out of San Diego State University. But, questions remain throughout the league on who will be selected where and what teams need to fill certain voids in their organizations.
The Detroit Tigers have the ninth overall pick in this year's draft. Will Detroit find a Justin Verlander, Rick Porcello or a Cameron Maybin this year? Or will they slip up and take another Kyle Sleeth like in 2003?
All we know is since Dave Dombrowski has been General Manager for the Tigers, he has found some solid players in the Rookie Draft, so fans are wondering, who might Detroit select this season?
MLB Rookie Draft: Tuesday, June 9th - 6:00 PM ET

Nike Air Force 1 Gum Sole
—01. Available in black or white.
There is just something about this shoe. I was tempted to purchase the updated Lunar version earlier this year, but held off, perhaps for these. The simple addition of the gum sole to the classic white or black leather upper sets them off just right.

I think the sweet dumpling squash gets overlooked by the bold acorn squash. It's hard to ignore the forest green hued skin perfectly named acorn squash. It seems perfectly evident, yes, it even looks like an over-sized acorn. But the sweet dumpling squash does not look like a dumpling, so it's easier to go with what you know. However, I implore you not to ignore this sweet little treat. This squash combines the best flavors of the acorn and the butternut squash, with an exponential punch of savory goodness. Go to your farmer's market and bypass all of the other squash, they will be there all winter, but the sweet dumpling squash need your attention now!
Drumming to a different "Beet"
"It's a beet"…"No, it's a radish". Cut it open and "What the hell? What are these concentric red circles?" Is it a watermelon radish, no, it is too small, and tasted sweet only, no lovely sharpness of the radish. A quick trip to Google reveals the "Chioggia beet". As if beets weren't wonderful enough, now we discover one with a cracker jack surprise inside!
When I went to the farmer's market on Wednesday, there were at least 4 beet varieties, regular, white, golden, and Chioggia. Don't be shy, go to your local market, and ask for one of each, you never know what surprise will be revealed…
To Squash or not to Squash
Green summer squash are plentiful and abundant, versatile, yet feel very pedestrian. However, once you intermix them with the cheery yellow squash, you immediately have a medley, and all seems well. We however have had no ray of light, and have been besieged with the familiar green zucchini or green summer squash, of which, by the way, I still do not know if there is any difference. So far, I have made summer squash provencal casserole, roasted zucchini, and zucchini bread. Although not the health winner, nothing beats a warm slice of fresh from the oven zucchini bread, mmm.
Peaches, savory or sweet?
Of course the first thing that comes to mind with peaches is peach cobbler. But the temptation is to do something different, perhaps a savory dish, maybe a chutney, or a daring peach soup. But the pull of the cobbler is just too strong. Especially when demonstrated by the experts at America's Test Kitchen Cooks Country. So Ronald embarked on his first baking venture, and made "Skillet Peach Cobbler". I thought I would enjoy a nice rest, catching up on my emails, but instead I was drawn into the kitchen with pleas of "where is…" and "do we have enough flour" and demonstrating the substitute for buttermilk, which is 1 cup of unsweetened soy milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, thickened up after a ten minute wait. We are not embarrassed to say that peach cobbler was our appetizer that night for dinner. And I am delighted to say that I am the luckiest woman.
Top & Tail
Gooseberries are an odd but beautiful fruit. Red and green, they look like exotic glass beads. Similar to rhubarb, they are not an item to eat on its own, but rather accompanied by sugar, sugar, and more sugar. To "top and tail" means to snip off the stem and the flower end. Well, you need to be completely committed to this process, because trimming 2 cups takes at least 45 minutes. Since Ronald is a jam fan, I decided to turn our gooseberries into jam. And besides, it's just fun to say "Gooseberry jam", "Pass me the gooseberry jam, please". If you are a tart fan, this is the jam for you. Coarsely chop 2 cups in the food processor, mix with 1 cup sugar in a sauce pot, and boil lightly until the mixture clings to a wooden spoon, and refrigerate. Gooseberry jam, done. From all of the lip smacking, and "ummms", I think it turned out well.
Beets, worth the stain
Although some of our friends are unwilling to risk even the slightest chance of tainting their skin with a beet patina, Ronald dives in, with reckless abandon. Last night I was treated to a late supper of sauteed beets, beet greens, and cippolini greens. Perfectly al-dente, they were divinely sweet and delicious. Ronald went a bit overboard with beet love, and cooked the couscous with some of the beet juice from the cooked beets as well, needless to say, it was a very red meal. Thanks to the generous bequest of our friend Allison, who picked them herself, we have plenty more to last us the long holiday weekend. So if you see Ronald and notice his hands look a bit odd, don't be concerned, he was not involved in anything macabre, only beets were hurt in the making of our dinner.
Greens, greens, greens
After being inundated with greens two weeks ago, the best news we ever heard came from the CSA farm email, saying "the groundhog ate all our early lettuce". Bless you groundhog, you saved us. You are now my totem animal. Groundhogs rule! Anyway, we are very excited about more kohlrabi, and especially the cippolini onions. They are wonderful to roast, and carmelize beautifully. I can't forget last summer when I went to the Mt.Sinai greenmarket, and noticed red flat onions. I asked the vendor if they were cippolini onions as well, and were good roasting candidates. His face lit up, and very animatedly, he said "they're even better to roast". Well, I was sold. I'll be looking forward to seeing these towards the end of the summer. As Ronald and I always tell people, we saute everything. So there is never a concern about how we are going to prepare our vegetables. I grab whatever has been in the refrigerator longest, place it on the counter, point to Ronald, and say "go, saute". He then works his magic with spices, marinades, glazes, and choice of oil. He's my magic man.

Good job so far - 54 lbs is serious business. Good for you
To promote your weight loss goals further I would :
Get rid of the bacon and three table spoons of coconut oil in your tea. Everything else looks pretty good.
Instead of reducing calories more try upping your exercise and intensity.
When are you lifting heavy things? Doing sprints or high intensity training weekly?
How much sleep do you get? Is it ideal?

checking if this thread is still locked...looks like it is not. Thanks!
I have looked through MDA and these forums quite a bit. I would like to argue the point that nuts are good for you even after messing up the omega 3:6 ratio. First of all, I have yet to find any conclusive evidence that this ratio is as important as many sources claim. I understand the rationale that we evolved eating a certain ratio, so this is best. But to be honest our estimates of grok's 3:6 ratio is just hearsay. Anyway, if anyone has any conclusive studies stating the importance of this ratio to heart health (or health in general) please prove me wrong. The only thing I have found is someone looking at a study and guessing that positive results came from improving this ratio. I might not have looked hard enough though. So please prove me wrong.
One thing that is VERY well documented is nuts being heart healthy. First let us look at worker bee's post on almonds. It is extremely pro almond. Also, just to clarify, this post was made after Mark's own "guide to fats" where he first (first to my knowledge at least) addressed the issue of the omega 3:6 ratio. Also, on a side note, in Mark's own primal blueprint sample menu, he ate a serving of almonds and states "If Im hungry mid to late afternoon and dinner looks to be a ways off Ill often grab a handful of nuts. Macadamias, walnuts and pine nuts are great, but I usually reach for almonds." Anyway here is the article on almonds.
But there is a TON of research basically proving that nuts are great for heart health. Some researchers at Mcmaster University did a systematic review on the causes of heart disease. Anyway, here is a link to the abstract.
I unfortunately cannot access the full version, but Dr Briffa did and analyzed it. Here is a link to that.
According to Dr. Briffa "Of all of these factors, the ones that fulfilled 4 Bradford Hill criteria (i.e. those where there was most evidence of cause-and-effect) were:
Mediterranean diet
Vegetable consumption
Nut consumption
Trans-fatty acid consumption
Consumption of foods of high GI or GL"
Obviously the trans fats and high GI or GL foods caused it, and vegetable consumption, mediterranean diet, and nut consumption prevented it.
The only factors that were shown to be effective in randomized studies were
"Adherence to a Mediterranean type of diet
Increased intake of marine (fish and seafood derived) omega-3 fat "
So in randomized studies omega 3's show heart health benefits. You could say "Well this is because it gives a better omega 3 to omega 6 ratio." Or, what most people would say, is that it is just that omega 3's are heart healthy and adding them to your diet is good for heart health, regardless of omega 6 intake.
Anyway, it is an interesting review and study, and if anyone could get the whole thing and send it my way it would be greatly appreciated.
Anyway, nuts were one of the three factors that were most associated with reduced rate of heart disease. I could go through and post some of the studies that this review looked at, but I don't even think there is much of a need to do so.
So the question is, if the ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 is so important for heart health, why are nuts that are raising the ratio proven to be heart healthy. Actually I challenge any of you to find me a study that suggests nuts are correlated with the onset of heart disease. I can almost guarantee that you cannot fine one.
Basically, what I am saying is that this is a website dedicated to beliefs based on science and reviewing studies. So why is everyone telling people to stop eating nuts due to the omega 3 to omega 6 ratio when nuts are basically proven to be beneficial to heart health? Nuts are extremely well researched where as the omega 3 to omega 6 ratio is not. Also Mark eats nuts and agrees they are part of a healthy diet.
Basically, I challenge any of you to prove to me that the omega 3 to omega 6 ratio is associated with heart disease through studies (I don't doubt that people will do this to be honest). But the main challenge is then showing that this heart risk outweighs the HUGE PROVEN heart benefit of eating nuts.
checking if this thread is still locked...looks like it is not. Thanks!
My thoughts are that not all nuts are created equal.
Some have a high % of omega 6, and others have very small numbers.
Personally, I think it matters more about the total omega 6 consumed, rather than just the ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 within the individual nuts.
Because of this, I stick with macadamia, cashews, and almonds. (In that order.)
BobbyLight, I sincerely hope what you're saying is true because I eat TONS of nuts. As of now, I do what Sean does, eat mostly almonds, pistachio (O3:O6 ratio similar to almonds), cashews.
Well maba, I do believe it is true. And to be honest, I think that the evidence really backs my argument. Go to pubmed and do a search for "almonds" or any other type of nut and you will get studies telling you that they are correlated with reduced heart disease. As I said in my original post, they are so correlated with reduced risk of CHD that they are most likely the cause of it, judging by the Bradford Hill criteria. To be honest, I do not know anything about the Bradford Hill criteria but I would imagine it is reasonably valid.
I just believe that if the o36 ratio was so important, nuts wouldn't be so correlated with reduced risk of heart disease and there would be more research on the effects of having a bad o36 ratio.
Really, what I want to see is a study done where people eat quite a bit of omega 3's but then eats a lot of omega 6's so their ratio is bad, say 10:1. Then I want to see another group of people eat almost 0 polyunsaturated fats, but have a better ratio of say 3:1. To be honest, who do you really think is going to be heart healthier? I would guess the people eating the extra omega 3's with the worse ratio just because that is what the research supports. If you eat more omega 3's (especially from fish), you are less likely to get heart disease, and that is what the research states. The ratio to omega 6 isn't even considered.
I don't know, this whole ratio thing just doesn't add up considering all the research that is out there.
Sometimes,I think we can all get too tied up in uber-analysis of every single thing that we eat. According to some, I dn't eat enough fatty meat. But to be honest, I love eating acan of tuna, tomatoes, cucumber and dressed with olive oil, White balsamic, garlic and pepper. And of course others would poo-poo the tomatoes. But at the end of the day, I feel good on what I eat - and that also includes a good dose of nuts every day. In my world, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I'm like you. Consciously reaching for the fattest foods making an effort to add even extra fat doesn't work for me as it causes me nausea, irregular blood sugar and a sense of heaviness. A more natural approach, eating whatever is healthy and handy and with its natural occurring fat is what works best for me. And I eat nuts as well. After all we can't do worse than eating SAD and not even people eating SAD are dropping dead like flies because of the junk they eat, why should I with a 99% better than theirs diet.
Regarding the neglect of research on omega 3 to omega 6 ratio, I think that the real "gems" that you have to look at and read between the lines are related to increased Omega 3 consumption.
People tend to only look at increasing your Omega 3 fatty acids.
And you can do that by supplementing, or eating more fish, etc.
Increasing Omega 3's can help reduce heart risk right?
Well, people don't tend to look at the fact that increasing your Omega 3's generally just brings a better balance to their Omega 3 to 6 ratio.
I believe that the same could be done by reducing Omega 6's.
Most research is done by people pushing a pill.
And Omega 3 comes in pill form.
"Just take our pills, and you'll be fine!"
Bobby, 10:1 6:3 is the average for Americans. And there is a huge laboratory of high Omega 6 eaters: The Jews of Israel. They eat massive amounts of "vegetable" oils and have massive amounts of CHD. The non-Jews eat more Mediterranean and have less CHD.
I don't have time to read your links, but something that often is not accounted for is how the nut eaters live vs. the fewer nut eaters. It's like the evidence that vegetarians live longer is skewed because vegetarians are typically better educated (which correlates with longer life), don't smoke, and generally make healthier decisions. The nut eater might be likewise.
I believe macadamias have the best omega ratio, is that right? It's STILL 6:1! (Just checked) We whine about that when it's CAFO beef, but it's OK when it's a nut?
I think justifying the consumption of nuts beyond small amounts, cuz they ARE good, is like our long distance running conversation here. Neither, really, can be justified. Both have proponents trying to justify. The bottom line is that if one wants to run marathons or eat nuts, that's fine. Doing some running or eating some nuts is also fine.
But don't pretend that they are good for you when the preponderance of evidence is otherwise. There are a lot of more successful ways of having less CHD than loading up on O6 nuts, like just kill the sugar and carbs.

Martha at Macy's
There's something so calming and elegant (not to mention useful !) about simple white dishes and serveware – which is why I'm totally smitten with Martha Stewart's new whiteware dining collections at Macy's!
If you love entertaining, then pedestal servers like these Whiteware Cake Stands will be your saving grace when it comes to creating attractive appetizer and dessert displays. These are definitely going to be my own first Martha at Macy's purchase…
Also loving the simplicity of these "Foliage " serveware pieces…

A 17-year-old Incline Village man who hit and killed a cyclist early Thursday evening most likely isn't at fault, police officials said Friday.
According to the Washoe County Sheriff's office, Lloyd W. Clarke, a 43-year-old Maryland native, was riding down hill on Country Club Drive at a high rate of speed when a pick up truck driven by the 17 year old pulled into the intersection of Country Club and Village Boulevard. Clarke was unable to stop, and he struck the side of the truck.
Deputies from the Incline Village Substation arrived on scene at about 6:55 p.m. Thursday. Clark was pronounced dead by Careflight medical staff on scene.
The 17 year old's name isn't being released because he is a juvenile.
"He was real cooperative, and we don't expect to have any issues with him," said Brooke Keast, public information officer with Washoe County Sheriff's Department. "It looked like the cyclist was going too fast. It's so hilly up there that sometimes you might not be able to stop."
Washoe County Sheriff's Office Major Accident Investigation Team is investigating the accident, along with Washoe County Forensic Investigation Services.
Capt. Steve Kelly, commander at the Washoe County sheriff's Office Incline Village Substation, said Clark's autopsy was performed Thursday. Kelly said it could take two weeks for a further investigation and a discussion about the accident with the district attorney's office to see if the juvenile could face charges.
"Tentatively, it looks like the cyclist was exceeding the speed limit," Kelly said. "If you know that part of town, you know it's pretty steep there. If speed was the main contributing factor the juvenile most likely isn't to blame."

Following what seemed to be a relentless upward march in stock prices, we may be witnessing a shift in sentiment and the start of a period in which prices get reacquainted with downward volatility.
U.S. stocks fell 0.8% yesterday, and they opened lower this morning, with the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC ) and the narrower, price-weighted Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) down 0.84% and 0.62%, respectively, at 10:05 a.m. EDT. Still, that's nothing compared to Japan's Nikkei 225, which fell 7.3% today!
Hewlett-Packard beats the Street
What a difference a quarter makes. Dow component Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ ) reported its quarterly results after yesterday's close, and investors seem to like what they see, sending the shares up 13% (in a market that is broadly declining, no less).
Nonetheless, that HP's results should impress investors reflects the scale of the PC industry's predicament. Sure, operating profit of $0.87 per share beat Wall Street's consensus estimate of $0.81, but at $0.55 per share, net income fell by nearly a third. CEO Meg Whitman also told the Financial Times that PC revenue declined by a fifth year over year.
The following graph shows HP's year-to-date total return relative to its closest peer, Dell, and the broad market (you can make out this morning's price spike at the very end of HP's graph):
A 56% return looks like a stellar result, and investors may be tempted to jump onto this locomotive. However, it's worth remembering that HP shares started the year at an atrociously depressed valuation: On Jan. 1, they closed at just 4.3 times the next 12 months' earnings-per-share estimate. At yesterday's close, the multiple stood at six; that increase accounts for roughly three-quarters of the share price return over the same period.
When a share's valuation has been crushed and there is massive uncertainty concerning the company's prospects, one can expect to witness substantial volatility in the price multiples subsequently. The latest results may be the start of a successful turnaround by Meg Whitman, but investors should be aware that betting on this remains a speculation, not an investment.
The massive wave of mobile computing has done much to unseat the major players in the PC market, including venerable technology names like Hewlett-Packard. However, HP is rapidly shifting its strategy under the leadership of Whitman. But does this make HP one of the least-appreciated turnaround stories on the market, or is this a minor detour on its road to irrelevance? The Motley Fool's technology analyst details exactly what investors need to know about HP in our new premium research report. Just click here now to get your copy today.

|Renault Modus
Renault Modus has a characteristic hatch appearance. As per preliminary reports, Renault Modus will be available in petrol and diesel variants. The petrol powered Renault Modus will be a 100hp and 75hp car with 1149cc under the bonnet. The petrol version is capable of producing 105Nm and 152Nm of maximum torque respectively. While the Renault Modus diesel will churn out 88 hp through its 1461cc engine. It will have maximum torque of 220Nm.
The Renault Modus will be a five-seater car and will be just under four metre in overall length. In order to make it viable for Indian roads, Renault Modus ground clearance has been kept at 120mm. Overall it has hatch looks but has a height of 1586mm which is quite similar to MUVs. It also has high driving position. Renault Modus has an overall length of 3874mm which makes it longer than almost all the hatchbacks in India except Honda Jazz which is 3900mm long.
In UK Renault Modus is available in Expression and Dynamique trims. Some of the features that Renault could preserve on the Indian version of Modus are additional cornering lights that are helpful while turning the car, Electronic Stability Control that keeps the Renault Modus on track even in slippery or low grip conditions. Furthermore, the rear side sunblind on the Renault Modus that keeps the interiors cool is also expected for India. There is also a possibility that the Electric Panoramic Sun Roof will also be there on the Indian accustomed Modus. In all probability, climate control feature is expected on the made for India Renault Modus. Besides, rear parking sensors will also be there on the Modus. However, it is only a possibility the standard feature of Cruise Control and Speed Limiter will be there on the Modus or not.
The interior of Renault Modus Expression is expected to be clad in Harmony medium charcoal color with 'Cascade" fabric upholstery. The Renault Modus Dynamique trim is expected to have "Luxe" carbon upholstery. The instrument cluster of Modus is centrally placed. Preliminary reports suggest that Modus will have two airbags, fog lamps, Anti-lock Braking System, and Electronic Brake Force Distribution besides other stunning features.
At the first look you will not be very sure of Renault Modus being a hatchback as the car is quite elongated and looks like MPV. But it does not mean that the hatchback is good for nothing. Agile and easy to park, Modus is expected to be a city car. In the front there will be large L shaped headlights of double optic with 'See Me Home' option and a body color bumper. The headlights would be placed in such a way that they will seem to introduce the stunning Renault logo placed at the centre. Just below them is a grille which is devoid of chrome. Alloy is absent in the 15 inch steel wheels with wheel trims (for Renault Modus Expression). "Sweep to centre" windscreen wipers will be present. Dedicated cornering lights surrounded by black headlight enhance the beauty of Renault Modus.
On sides there is availability of remote locking with deadlocking and anti-drill door locks. Door mirrors are heated, body colored which can be electrically adjusted and folded in Expression and made of gunmetal finish in Dynamique. Electric front and rear windows will make their way to Modus. Adding to this, windows and door opening could be operated by a one touch button present at driver seat. Large tinted windows allow you to navigate your way through town effortlessly. There will be remote fuel filler on the side. Renault has spent religiously on body color door handles but metallic paint and sunblinds for rear windows and tailgates is optional.
An optional Electric panoramic sunroof with blind and auto-closure function (with sunglasses holder) will be given in Renault Modus. Lockable Roof box will be ideal for holidaying and will help to increase the boot space.
Rear wiper, rear defogger and smart rear windscreen wipers dress the rear part of Renault Modus. A tow bar is given at the lower side of rear to pull a trailer, a caravan or simply mount a bike. Ultrasonic sensors in the bumper emit a beep and as objects get closer, the sound becomes louder and more frequent.
Gunmetal front and rear protective strips will be provided in Dynamique; its front bumper is made of gunmetal to reduce corrosion; Chrome front grille and chrome tail gate trim strip are optional. Front fog lamps will be present for unfavorable weather conditions in this model. Expect extra tinted glass in rear window and tail gate of the Modus also. The headlights of Renault Modus Dynamique can be automatically activated via light.
Renault Modus is expected to be a five-seater hatchback including child seats for making children secure and comfortable. Measuring length 3874 mm, width 1695 mm and height 1589 mm in all variants the car is likely to have 1190 kg kerb weight (diesel variant). While in both petrol versions kerb weight is expected to be 1090 kg. All the variants are estimated to have 120 mm ground clearance.
Renault Modus is a premium hatchback with stunning interiors which gives the car an elegant and classy look that is sure to lure car lovers with its first glance. Renault Modus interiors will be roomy and spacious and stylish with enough leg space, generous head space and excellent front visibility.
The interiors of the Renault Modus hatchback will be designed to meet the works that a user needs as it offers a variety of convenient and multi purpose storage places. Two storage pockets in the front and two on the rear doors are spacious enough to hold various items like CD, DVD and etc. In addition to this, the hatchback will also come packed with dashboard storage, overhead storage and front seat drawers. The steering has cruise control and speed limiter buttons on it.
Renault Modus will come adorned with a DVD player mounted on the back of the headrest to remove boredom on long journeys and provide hours of entertainment to the driver and passengers. The player comes with two screens and infra red headphones. The Renault Modus will come equipped with ISOFIX duo plus child seats to make the children secure and comfortable. It is expected that the interiors of the car will be designed in a cockpit form and make every control within the reach of the driver to make driving a pleasure.
Renault Modus will have premium beige interior that leads to a luxurious feel inside. The new hatchback is likely to be fitted with an electric variable power assisted steering which makes the handling of the car smooth. Renault Modus is also expected to be a high end hatchback equipped with many advanced features. Some of the interior features include Leather steering wheel, Trip computer with digital display, Rev counter and Exterior temperature gauge. The adjustable height steering wheel will make the driving of new Renault Modus very comfortable. The car will adorn a manual and automatic sunroof in order to allow sunlight and air to enter thus refreshing the interiors.
Renault Modus is a premium hatchback car with a seating capacity for five people. The new hatchback will have roomy and spacious interiors with refined and elegant looks that offers headroom of 1031 mm and width of 1365 mm. Overall length of Renault Modus cabin will be 1908 mm.
The 1.2 litre 16V 75 petrol Renault Modus can attain a maximum speed of 163 kmph. It can cover 0-100 kmph in 13.5 seconds. The other 1.2 litre Turbo 100 petrol variant can touch a maximum speed of 182 kmph. This car can sprint to 100 kmph in just 11.2 seconds. But if diesel is your choice owing to high petrol prices, your car need not compromise with acceleration as Modus diesel can attain a speed of 100kmph in merely 11 seconds and it has a maximum speed of 174 kmph. A high performing athlete can run just 100m in this time. Well we are not telling you to compare humans with cars but still to give you an idea of what Renault Modus will be capable of. All the three engines of Renault Modus hatchback will be mated to 5-speed manual transmission gearing. An automatic version with 4 speed transmission engine is also available in UK market but Indian buyers are not so lucky to have that in the choice list. Overall, the pick-up of the car is expected to be great while driving.
Renault India is all excited about the launch of its new hatchback Renault Modus towards the end of this year. The hatchback is likely to be offered in 1.2L petrol engine and 1.5L diesel engine in three trims in the B segment of the car market. The car has a reasonable ground clearance of 120 mm.
The petrol variant will be offered with a 1.2 L 1149 cc turbo motor to produce a peak power output of 100 hp at 5500 and a top torque of 152 Nm @ 3500. The other petrol variant carries the 1.2 L 16V engine producing a peak power of 75 hp@5500 and 105 Nm @ 4250. The engine is well mated with a 5 speed manual gearbox and the 100 hp power enables the car to attain a top speed of 180 kmph. The car offers phenomenal mileage of 15.38 kmpl in the city and 18 kmpl on the highway.
The diesel variant will have 1.5 L 1461 cc engine under the hood with a peak power output of 88 hp and maximum torque of 200 Nm. The diesel motor is mated with a 5 speed manual gearbox which helps the car accelerate on the city roads with smooth gear transmission including the traffic zones to reach a top speed of 174 kmph. The diesel variant offers a remarkable mileage of 17 kmpl in the city and 18 kmpl on highways.
Renault Modus is expected to be housed with 1.2L petrol and 1.2L diesel engine range. With the 4 cylinder diesel engine the Renault Modus diesel variant is likely to deliver a fuel efficiency of 17-20 kmpl which seems to be frugal. The 1149 cc petrol engine is expected to offer 15-16 kmpl mileage on city roads, while on highway mileage of 18 kmpl. The 1.2 litre turbo petrol engine is estimated to do excellent job. Running costs are reasonable. Among all engines diesel engine is preferable as the diesels make most sense if you intend to cover long distances. Modus is likely to be mated with 5-speed manual gearbox in all variants to provide enough power on every gear shift.
The very eco-friendly technical make-up of Renault Modus leaves this hatchback being called the hatch of future. It is generally conception about eco-friendly that they are not very powerful. Enjoying the 'odd car out' status, Renault Modus is a power-packed car usually not expected of a hatchback car. With an insight viewing into the bonnet, one will realize that the car is displaying a 75 hp maximum power at 5500 rpm for a 1.2 litre 16V petrol engine and a maximum torque of 105 Nm at 4250 rpm whereas the other petrol engine model (1.2 litre Turbo) churns out a maximum power of 100 hp at the same 5500 rpm and attains peak torque of 152 Nm at 3500 rpm. If you prefer dCi diesel engine over a petrol one, you will experience 88 hp of peak power at 4000 rpm while driving. This direct common rail multipoint injection turbo engine in Renault Modus will produce a maximum torque of 200Nm at 1750 rpm. In UK, there is an automatic four speed transmission based Modus available but is not expected in India.
Being loaded with multi utility features, Renault Modus also takes care of the entertainment part thoroughly. Modus is equipped with two audio system options. One is a 2x 15Watt single CD RDS radio that comes with two speakers along with fingertip remote control. Modus also has the option to have a 4 x 15W single CD RDS radio with 4 speakers and fingertip remote control. The Modus also has volume level speed function that increases the volume of the stereo with the increase in speed. There is also integrated hands free Bluetooth telephone system.
Renault Modus is endowed with an amazing braking system to ensure passenger safety that has been the French auto brand's primary objective. The front brakes are disc and the rear brakes are drum. Two airbags are available to avoid any injuries to the occupants in case of collision. Anti-Brake locking (ABS) system offered in Modus avoids the locking of the wheels during sudden brake application. EBD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution) helps by applying brakes on each wheel individually and avoids the wheels to spin and lose grip. Three rear seat belts secure the passenger to the seats.
As part of safety measures, Renault Modus will be offered with a remote central locking system to ensure security against thefts quite easily. The driver and front passenger airbags in the car offers a cushioning effect to the passengers in case of collision there-by reducing injuries. The Anti-Lock Braking system (ABS) and the Electronic Brake System (EBD) in the car works together to enable right amount of brake application on the wheels to bring the vehicle to stop at short distance after the brake application and maintains the car stability. The 3 rear seat belts offer enough security in case of collisions by pinning the passengers back to the seats. The steering mounted button controls enable easy windows operation without diverting the attention of the driver from the road.
Renault Modus has 2482mm of wheelbase in all variants including two petrol and one diesel version. The car is front wheel driven and will be equipped with 5.5" J15" alloy wheels in the Renault Modus 1.2 16V 75 petrol variant while Renault Modus 1.2 Turbo 100 petrol version is estimated to be housed on 6" J16" alloy wheels, additionally 6" J15" alloy wheels option is also available in it. The diesel version dCi88 is expected to have both 6" J15" and 6" J16"" alloy wheels options as well. In Renault Modus 1.2 16V 75 petrol version, the wheel size measures up to 165 / 65 R15. Added to it the rest two variants again have options in wheel size i.e. 1.2 turbo 100 has wheel size of 185 / 60 R15 84H and 185 / 60 R16 84H. Similar to it in the dCi88 diesel version of Renault Modus has a wheel size measuring up to 185 / 60 R 15 and 185 / 55 R 16. Front and rear track in 165 tyre is 1471 mm and 1450 mm respectively. While 185 tyre consists of 1456 mm and 1436 mm Front and rear track correspondingly. The Renault Modus is likely to have 120 mm ground clearance in all the variants.
Features such as ABS, EBD will be plus, hatch with multi utility vehicle features.

How come I am unable to print recipes from this site? I get all the other junk but not the recipe itself. What is the point of having the recipes on the site if no one can print them off. I don't have a computer in my kitchen. I am in no mood to run upstairs every six seconds to look at it.
Cashew Cream Spread
1-2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1/3 c. cashew nut butter
2 T. white or red miso
2 t. olive oil
In a food processor or blender, add the nut butter, miso and garlic. Add water, a tablespoon at a time, the olive oil, and process. The spread should have a smooth consistency similar to mayonnaise.
This also makes a wonderful creamy salad dressing with the addition of a bit more water, added a little at a time, to your preferred consistency.
Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

A new study published in the journal Nature identified a possible cause for this discrepancy. It identifies a natural, cyclical flow of atmospheric energy around the Arctic Circle. A team of researchers, led by Rune Graversen of Stockholm University, conclude this energy flow may be responsible for the majority of recent Arctic warming.
The study specifically rules out global warming or albedo changes from snow and ice loss as the cause, due to the "vertical structure" of the warming ... the observed warming has been much too weak near the ground, and too high in the stratosphere and upper troposphere.
This study follows hot on the heels of research by NASA, which identified "unusual winds" for rapid Arctic ice retreat. The wind patterns, set up by atmospheric conditions from the Arctic Oscillation, began rapidly pushing ice into the Transpolar Drift Stream, a current which quickly sped the ice into warmer waters.
A second NASA team, using data from the the GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) satellite, recently concluded that changes in the Arctic Oscillation were "mostly decadal in nature", rather than driven by global warming.

It is likely that a further substantial reduction of the summer ice-cover would strengthen these feedbacks and they could become the dominant mechanism underlying a future Arctic temperature amplification.

quote: In the Southern Hemisphere, the land-area mean temperature has slowly but surely declined in the last few years. The city of Buenos Aires in Argentina received several centimetres of snowfall in early July, and the last time it snowed in Buenos Aires was in 1918! Most of Australia experienced one of its coldest months of June this year. Several other locations in the Southern Hemisphere have experienced lower temperatures in the last few years. Further, the SSTs (sea surface temperatures) over world oceans are slowly declining since mid-1998, according to a recent world-wide analysis of ocean surface temperatures
quote: Recent Sea-Level Contributions of the Antarctic and Greenland Ice SheetsAndrew Shepherd1 and Duncan WinghamScience 16 March 2007:Vol. 315. no. 5818, pp. 1529 - 1532After a century of polar exploration, the past decade of satellite measurementshas painted an altogether new picture of how Earth's ice sheets are changing. As global temperatures have risen, so have rates of snowfall, ice melting, and glacier flow. Although the balance between these opposing processes has varied considerably on a regional scale, data show that Antarctica and Greenland are each losing mass overall. Our best estimate of their combined imbalance is about 125 gigatons per year of ice, enough to raise sea level by 0.35 millimeters per year. This is only a modest contribution to the present rate of sea-level rise of 3.0 millimeters per year. However, much of the loss from Antarctica and Greenland is the result of the flow of ice to the ocean from ice streams and glaciers, which has accelerated over the past decade. In both continents, there are suspected triggers for the accelerated ice discharge—surface and ocean warming, respectively—and, over the course of the 21st century, these processes could rapidly counteract the snowfall gains predictedby present coupled climate models.
quote: Our study confirms many changes seen in upper Arctic Ocean circulation in the 1990s were mostly decadal in nature, rather than trends caused by global warming, " said Morison.
quote: The researchers found that most of the warming is happening high above ground. At midsummer, the data shows that the air that has warmed the most is 2 kilometres above land.This, says Graversen, rules out the theory that Arctic warming is being accelerated by melting ice. Although the researchers remain unsure what is accelerating Arctic warming, they suggest it might be related to how fast energy is being transported towards the North Pole by cyclones.The team calculated the flow of energy into the Arctic Circle using meteorological data, and looked at how this flow has changed since the 1980s.They found that the amount of energy transported from the tropics into the Arctic has increased and that the increase corresponds to the rise of temperatures in the region. "We are not saying this is the only explanation," says Graversen, "this could explain maybe 25% of the amplification of warming in the Arctic."
quote: "This assumption is that if this [heat flow] has increased—which we see in the data that it has—then it has contributed to the warming in the Arctic, not only at the surface, but higher in the atmosphere," Graversen said.Increased moisture in northward-moving air also plays a role, he said, because when the water vapor condenses into clouds and snow, it releases energy, warming the air.Nobody knows how much of this change is the result of human emissions of planet-warming gases such as carbon dioxide, but it's likely that they play a role."Many models suggest an increase in energy transport when more greenhouse gases are introduced into them," he said. "Changes in the circulation in the atmosphere might have had a much larger effect than previously thought, but these changes may also have been induced by greenhouse gases."
quote: by Rovemelt on January 7, 2008 at 12:03 AMWhat part of this sentence from Graversen don't you understand?"Many models suggest an increase in energy transport when more greenhouse gases are introduced into them," he said.
quote: The recent warming of the Earth's surface is most probably due to an increase of atmospheric greenhouse-gas concentrations. (8) Although most greenhouse gases are fairly uniformly distributed around the globe, the temperature response to greenhouse-gas forcing is thought to be larger in polar than equatorial regions.
quote: Our results do not imply that studies based on models forced by anticipated future CO2 levels are misleading when they point to the importance of the snow and ice feedbacks. It is likely that a further substantial reduction of the summer ice-cover would strengthen these feedbacks and they could become the dominant mechanism underlying a future Arctic temperature amplification. Much of the present warming, however, appears to be linked to other processes, such as atmospheric energy transports.

quote: But the models we have right now are our best tools to explain what is happening and what will happen in the future.
quote: The last 25 years constitute a period of more complete and accurate observations and more realistic modeling efforts. Yet the models are seen to disagree with the observations. We suggest, therefore, that projections of future climate based on these models be viewed with much caution.

Cumulative elevation gain

In running, cycling, and mountaineering, cumulative elevation gain refers to the sum of every gain in elevation throughout an entire trip. It is sometimes also known as cumulative gain or elevation gain, or often in the context of mountain travel, simply gain. Elevation losses are not counted in this measure. Cumulative elevation gain, along with round-trip distance, is arguably the most important value used in quantifying the strenuousness of a trip. This is because hiking 10 miles (16 km) on flat land (zero elevation gain) is significantly easier than hiking up a large mountain with a round-trip distance of 10 miles (16 km). It is much harder to ascend vertically, or to increase elevation, than to walk on flat land because doing so also requires that the hiker increase his/her gravitational potential energy.
In the simplest case of a trip where hikers only travel up on their way to a single summit, the cumulative elevation gain is simply given by the difference in the summit elevation and the starting elevation. For example, if one were to start hiking at a trailhead with elevation 1,000 feet (300 m), and hike up to a summit of 5,000 feet (1,500 m), the cumulative elevation gain would just be 5000 ft - 1000 ft = 4000 ft. The loss of elevation on the descent is not relevant, because only increases in elevation are considered in this measure.
However, when climbing a mountain with some "ups-and-downs", or traversing several mountains, you must take into account every "up" along the whole route. This even means that the (usually small) uphills on the descent must be counted. For example, consider a mountain whose summit was 5,000 feet (1,500 m) in elevation, but somewhere on the way up, the trail went back down 250 feet (76 m). If starting at an elevation of 1,000 feet (300 m), one would gain 4,250 feet (1,300 m) on the way up (not 4000, because 250 is lost and has to be "regained"). The 250 feet on the way down is not counted.
If one were to hike over five hills of 100 vertical feet each, the cumulative elevation gain would be 5 x (100 ft) = 500 ft. Only the uphill sections are counted, not the downhills.
This concept makes travel on mountains which have more "ups-and-downs", or are generally more rugged, significantly more strenuous.
Cumulative elevation gain can be recorded using GPS services such as Garmin or Strava.

Over four decades ago, Ruth Fertel, a divorced mother of two, mortgaged her home for $22,000 to buy a small 60-seat restaurant in New Orleans, Louisiana named Chris Steak House. Shortly thereafter, a fire forced her to change the original location and she renamed the restaurant, "Ruth's Chris Steak House."
Despite her lack of restaurant experience, Ruth's enthusiasm and determination made the restaurant a greater success than even she had anticipated. In 1977, at the urging of a loyal customer, Ruth granted her first franchise just outside Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Our Sizzling Steak Concepts franchise began shortly thereafter in the mid 1980's in Georgia.
Featuring custom-aged, USDA prime steaks, served with the signature sizzle and legendary hospitality, Sizzling Steaks Concepts' franchise partners Mark Oswald, Nancy Oswald, Jim Brooks and Phil Brooks are dedicated to honoring the vision and traditions set forth by Ruth's Chris Steak House founder, Ruth Fertel.
Opening their first Ruth's Chris Steak House restaurant in the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta in 1986, Sizzling Steak Concepts is the largest Ruth's Chris franchisee worldwide, with four restaurants in metropolitan Atlanta (Buckhead, Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta, Alpharetta and Kennesaw), two in Alabama (Birmingham and Huntsville), four in South Carolina (Charleston, Columbia, Greenville and Myrtle Beach) and one in Chattanooga, Tennessee, with plans for further expansion throughout the southeast.
From its humble beginnings on Broad Street in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1965 to its current position as an internationally acclaimed restaurant, Ruth's Chris Steak House welcomes steak enthusiasts at nearly 140 restaurants worldwide.

I received a recent question about banding. The person asked if a bird had to be banded in order to show. The answer to this is, no. Any bird, whether banded or not, can be shown. However, only closed-banded birds can earn points. A closed-banded bird is one that's slipped on at around 10 to 15 days of age, when the foot is still small and fits right on. The foot will then grow and the band cannot be taken off. If you show a bird that is not closed-banded, your bird will not have the chance to make Champion or Grand Champion, and that bird's winnings will not contribute toward the possibility of you getting one of the Top 3 Exhibitor spots for the year.
It's a good practice to band birds, as some states require them, and to help you keep track of your birds and to make your birds traceable through The African Lovebird Society or other organization. If you show a bird that is banded with another organization's band, such as your local bird club, that band just needs to be registered with the ALBS Points Registrar, and then the bird will earn points. The points always stay with the bird, never the exhibitor. Even if you sell the bird, the points will still stay with it. A bird needs at least 50 points and a 1st place win to make Champion. If the bird you sold made 30 points under you and also had a 1st place win, then the next person who owns the bird will only need 20 more points to make that bird a Champion.
Exhibiting is a lot of fun, but one of the main reasons that I exhibit and go to shows is for the friendships I've formed. After you start exhibiting, you will meet a lot of great people. These people will share a common interest with you. You will make life-long friends. The friends you make definitely make exhibiting that much more fun. After the shows you might go to dinner or go and grab a drink. With bird people, you'll always have a lot of interesting things to talk about.

Did I just hear what I heard? I just finished listening to the Board of Fish meeting by live streaming on my computer.They voted 5 to 2 in favor of taking no action on the 6 petitions in front of them. Granted they were received with little time to study. Seems like that's the magic word with boards, study. The fish don't understand studies and when they decide to go up the river away they go. Never once during this hour and a half meeting did I hear anyone ask or propose what happened to the kings throughout the state, low returns are everywhere.
The so called attempt to save the Kenai River king salmon on the backs of the eastside setnetters is the biggest boondoggle I've ever witnessed in my lifetime by the so called experts employed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. I was born here in Alaska in 1949, have spent almost all of my 63 years on the Kenai Peninsula involved in commercial fishing at some level from a very young age from drifting the Inlet with my Dad to running my own setnet site at Humpy Point, beginning in the 1950s through the present.
Natural Gas service safety: I have thought of this many times before, but recently with two potentially life-threatening events happening on the Peninsula in a very short period of time, I wonder why a shut-off valve a safe distance from the structure being served is not required? This valve should be flush with the ground so that no ground thawing or digging of frozen ground is required to turn off the gas in case of emergencies such as the house explosion in Soldotna and the house fire in Sterling.

Made me think - is "love" really love if it's not expressed and experienced two-ways? If someone doesn't love you in return[/quote]
Englidh has a poverty of vocabulary in this area. The English word "love" does for 4 different Greek words. See the book "The Four Loves" by C. S. Lewis for more on this.
You mean, I think, [I]eros[/I] -- sexual love. Don't confuse it with [I]storge[/I] -- affection -- as one contributor to this thread does. Nor yet is it [I]philia[/I] -- friendship. Still less [I]agape[/I] -- a positive disinterested outpouring of goodwill. Again, read Lewis on this -- still one of the most interesting, intelligent & subtle meditations on the different loves.
I think there are problems with idealizing the "natural loves" (as Lewis calls the 3 other than agape). They're good as far as they go, but tendf to carry in them dark potentialities -- jealousy, posessiveness, the wish to dominate or assimilate. And where would I be if I made my beloved the centre of my world, so that her word became law for me? What if she said: "Get me jewels. Kill if you must. I don't care how you do it." ??
If I did I would harm others, corrupt myself, and collude in something that would do something rather horrible to my beloved to boot.
Eros can do things like that.
Macbeth & Lady Macbeth do something like that to each other, as far as I can tell.
So I shan't idealize eros. But if "the Lady of Cyprus" (Aphrodite) IS there, then there's something more than mere "interest" or even "infatuation" going on. If I feel an intense personal interest in someone, if I feel a sense of humility before her, if I really do feel that in some sense her wellbeing and interests are more important than my own (a rather conditionalband fleeting feeling but a real one) ... if all that, then, yes, I think its eros. I think that would be just what we mean by the word. It would be kind of irrelevant if she was actually thinking: "Well, he looks nice, and I do like him, and there's no-one better in the offing."
If you caught fire, you caught fire. That's what it's like.

Seifert unwinds, learns it differs from unraveling
Published: Oct. 9, 1995
San Jose Mercury News
Column by Ann Killion
BYE WEEKS are a purely-for-profit device. A few years back, the NFL figured out that it could stretch the season to 17 weeks and reap a bonus day in television revenues.
But bye weeks also allow players and coaches to carve precious personal time out of a job that doesn't otherwise allow it.
A football season is like a marathon run over 16 separate hills. With one obstacle conquered, another is immediately faced and the postgame descent is used not to relax but to gather energy for the ordeal on the horizon.
But the bye week is a mandatory rest stop. A chance for football people to heal their bodies, reintroduce themselves to their families, have an intimate moment.
Some coaches don't like them. George Seifert hasn't been a big fan of byes in the past. The week off can stall momentum, dissolve concentration, distract teams.
But Seifert was all in favor of a bye week this year. His daughter, Eve, had always wanted an autumn wedding, and no father -- not even a football coach -- wants to let his daughter down.
So, last weekend, the man accustomed to having the eyes of a stadium focus on him as he walks to the sideline on fall afternoons was under a different kind of scrutiny. The eyes of a church followed him as he accompanied his daughter down the aisle.
THE COACH'S steely glare was replaced by a father's misty eyes.
''I was doing OK until I gave her hand to him,'' Seifert said.
The weather was perfect. The Blue Angels soared over San Francisco Bay. The reception in the Venetian Room at San Francisco's Fairmont Hotel was, by all accounts, beautiful. And, fortunately for the happy couple, the 49ers were coming off a victory the week before.
It takes Seifert a while to recover from a loss. Which is why his wife, Linda, and Eve were anxious about the New York Giants game.
The wedding was a rare chance for Seifert to not think about football for 48 hours in October. Not to dwell on the bothersome details of the season -- Steve Young's sore left shoulder, the problems at right corner, the inconsistent play of special teams, the loss to Detroit.
THIS VERSION of the 49ers is still in formation. There hasn't yet been a defining moment of the season. There have been a couple with potential -- Jerry Rice's outburst after the Deion Sanders signing most notably. But even Seifert hasn't quite put his finger on this team's identity.
''Not totally,'' he said. ''There have been moments. Defensively, when we stopped New England -- even though they're not playing well -- on the third- and fourth- down plays. And offensively against Detroit, though we didn't win the game, we moved down the field into field-goal range. Those are the moments when you say, 'OK, there's something there.' ''
One of the most revealing instances has come off the field. The Visa commercial featuring Seifert, Young and Rice singing Karaoke speaks volumes about the relaxed nature of these 49ers.
Again, Seifert's daughter played a role in that.
''When you have to pay for a wedding, you'd be surprised at how much of a fool you'll make out of yourself,'' Seifert said.
By Sunday afternoon, Seifert was back in the office. Watching Indianapolis rally to beat Miami was enough to snap him out of his post-party mood and revert to his normal worried demeanor.
''We've got to get focused here this week,'' he said. ''The party's over. Time to go back to work.''

text: Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen Press Conference U.S. Embassy, Tokyo September 22, 2000 (as delivered) QUESTION: Mr. Secretary, I have two questions if possible. The first one concerns theater missile defense. China and Russia are still highly critical and they are suggesting that American plans are going to destroy the whole system of stability. So, my question is, what your plans are, are you going to make it a closed system for only the United States and Japan and possibly Taiwan to participate, or maybe you are going to make it an open system and there is a possibility for such countries as China and Russia to participate, too. And my second question is about Russian nuclear submarine Kursk which capsized last month. Russians are suggesting that one of the possible reasons is a collision with a NATO or American submarine, they are asking to let them, well, have a look at a couple of United States submarines and the answer from the American side is no; so I ask, why not? And what is your own explanation of that particular accident. Thank you. SECDEF: With respect to national missile defense, as you know, President Clinton has decided to defer a decision on deployment of that system, on a system, until the next administration. I have had conversations with President Putin and other leaders in Russia to explain that this system as contemplated by the United States is in response to the continued proliferation of missile technology, particularly in the hands of those states formerly known as rogue states, now known as states of concern. But their possession does in fact pose a threat to the security of the United States and the question then becomes, can a system be designed and constructed that would require some modification of the ABM treaty, but would be limited in nature and provide the kind of limited protection that the United States feels is needed. President Clinton had met with President Putin, and President Putin said two things. Number one, he agreed that there was an emerging threat. Number two, he said, why don't we see if there can be a NATO-Russian participation on theater missile defenses, and number two, why don't we explore the possibility of a joint research and development project on something called a boost phase intercept system. We are open to exploring a boost-phase intercept system; in fact we sent a team of experts to Moscow to meet with the Russian experts. And what we found was there was very little interest on the part of the Russian experts to discuss any concept or plan for a boost-phase intercept system. So at this point, we would like to work with the Russians but we have nothing that they have produced to date that we would find, be the basis for, a boost-phase intercept system. With respect to the Kursk, we had made it very clear that the United States, that our ships had no role in that terrible tragedy. We have communicated that, we believe that our word, indeed, has been categorical. I have received every assurance and I know that all our ships are operational and could not possibly have been involved in any kind of contact with the Russian submarine. So frankly, there is no need for inspections, since ours are completely operational, there was no contact whatsoever with the Kursk. I hope that the Russian authorities find out the cause of it. All I can do is speculate at this point, that there were internal blasts that led to the loss of that ship and the fine men aboard her.

Kaley Cuoco showed off a new shorter hairdo on Saturday – sans "big bangs."
The recently wed actress, who also displayed a new back tattoo this week that documents the date she married tennis pro Ryan Sweeting, posted a pic of her stylist, Christine Symonds, about to chop into her long blond locks on Instagram on Saturday along with the caption, "This.is.happening."
She followed it up with a shot of her updated 'do along with the caption "Spring refresh."
Frankly we couldn't see much difference between that and what she had before … and the Big Bang Theory star must have been feeling the same way, because two hours later the scissors came out again.
"I can't stop!" the 28-year-old captioned the new pic, which showed a much-shorter shoulder-length bob.
After the makeover, Cuoco was headed to the Kids Choice Awards, where her new hair was set to make its red carpet debut.
Tell us: Do you like her new shorter style?
