The front-runners in terms of growth included the major markets of Italy, the United Kingdom and France. Audi also experienced growth in Germany during August. Sales of around 67,700 cars were achieved worldwide, 2.0 percent more than during the same month last year (66,409). "Our sales figures confirm the strength of the Audi brand," said Peter Schwarzenbauer, Member of the Board of Management for Marketing and Sales of AUDI AG. "Despite difficult general conditions in some European markets, we've been able to grow sales and expand our market share. Thanks to good order levels, especially for the new Audi A3, A4 and A5, we'll be able to continue this trend." Front-runners among major European markets showing significant growth during the vacation month of August include Italy, which was up 25.4 percent to 3,205 (2,556)*, the United Kingdom, which was up 5.6 percent to 3,394 (3,215), and France, with growth of 4.0 percent to 3,340 (3,211) vehicles sold. Other significant players among the remaining markets include Belgium with an increase of 74.9 percent to 2,193 cars sold (1,254), Greece with an increase of 22.4 percent to 601 cars (491), Denmark with 19.6 percent growth to 562 cars (470), Austria with growth of 15.4 percent to 1,197 (1,037) and Portugal (up 14.7 percent to 523; 456 last year). In the weak overall German market, which declined by more than 10 percent, Audi also fared impressively: the brand's sales were up 2.6 percent with 18,537 cars sold (18,063). In Asia, the strongest rate of growth was achieved by China (including Hong Kong), where vehicle sales increased by 8.1 percent to 9,853 cars (9,116). In Australia, sales of Audi cars were up by almost 22 percent, with a total of 751 cars sold (617). Sales in America declined by 12.9 percent, primarily due to the slumping overall market in the USA, as the new Audi A4 is only now being introduced to the market there. In the United States, 6,406 Audi cars were sold in August, which is 15.9 percent less than in August 2007 (7,620). *) Numbers in parentheses denote sales in August 2007, unless otherwise indicated. About Audi AG AUDI AG sold a total of 964,151 cars in 2007 and thus achieved its twelfth consecutive record year. With revenue of €33,617 million and profit before tax of €2,915 million, the company attained its best figures ever. Audi produces vehicles in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm (Germany), Györ (Hungary), Changchun (China) and Brussels (Belgium). At the end of 2007, production of the Audi A6 started in Aurangabad, India.

Audi currently employs around 57,000 people worldwide, including 45,000 in Germany. The brand with the four rings invests more than € 2 billion each year in order to sustain the company's technological lead embodied in its "Vorsprung durch Technik" slogan. Audi plans to significantly increase the number of models in its portfolio by 2015 to 40.

England extracted a dose of revenge as they beat New Zealand 2-1 tonight to reach the final of the women's team championship in Palmerston North.
The fifth-seeded New Zealanders came painfully close to toppling the top seeds after veteran team No 3 Shelley Kitchen opened the tie with a gutsy win over Tania Bailey.
However, No 1 Jaclyn Hawkes went down in four sets to Jenny Duncalf and No 2 Joelle King in a tense five-setter against Laura Massaro, much to the disappointment of a parochial home crowd.
It was a hugely satisfying result for Duncalf and Massaro, who were beaten in the final of the women's doubles final at last month's Commonwealth Games by Hawkes and King.
With the tie locked at 1-1 Games golden girl King looked to be steering New Zealand to a famous win when she comfortably won the first two sets.
However, world No 9 Massaro regrouped to emerge victorious 5-11 7-11 11-7 11-2 11-7 over a player ranked eight spots below her.
Earlier, 31-year-old Kitchen turned back the clock with an 11-8 9-11 15-13 11-7 defeat of Bailey, a match dominated by numerous let and stroke calls which stretched proceedings well beyond an hour.
In her first tournament for nearly a year -- and her last before she retires internationally -- Kitchen held her nerve in the manner that saw her climb to sixth in the world two years ago before taking a break to have her first child.
World No 12 Hawkes began smartly but was worn down by world No 2 Duncalf 7-11 11-9 11-6 11-9 in a match marred by a collision at the start of the fourth set which saw Hawkes fall awkwardly and take a break to tend to an ankle injury.
New Zealand will play off for third tomorrow, continuing a frustrating record at the biennial tournament.
They have been runners up twice and third nine times since it was first held in 1979.
England's oppenents in the final will be either second seeds Australia or the fourth-seeded Malaysia, who were to contest the second semifinal later tonight.

This is the best way I have found to add lecithin back to my diet
Posted by Reviewer2283039 on Apr 12, 2013 | Verified Purchase
I have been supplementing my diet with lecithin since the late 1970's, when the most commonly available product was waxy granules that I choked down in shakes. Then came triple-strength lecithin in gelcaps before it was genetically engineered. That was great for many years until I found, about 4-5 years ago, that it was manifesting hormonal changes in my body, cluing me in to the fact that the product was now from GMO soy. I abstained from it until I came across this product at a food co-op. I am now ordering it at a better price from iHerb. I add mine to a blended protein shake in the morning. It emulsifies perfectly, creating a creamy texture and mild, pleasant taste.

If you are going to use a soy derived product, non-gmo is the only way to go and this product delivers! Powder is smooth, tastes mild and mixes easily. I love that it comes in brown glass vs. a plastic container. The only improvement I could offer is if the bottle was wide-mouth making it easier to use as the contents nears empty.

IceCaps fall short against Sharks Posted by IceCaps on
Blow two-goal lead in 4-3 loss
By Chris Doyle
Communications Coordinator
St. John's, Newfoundland – The St. John's IceCaps blew a two-goal second period lead as the Worcester Sharks came back for a 4-3 win at Mile One Centre Friday night.
Benn Ferriero and Tony Lucia scored within a two-minute span late the second period and Tommy Wingels potted the game-winner with just 4:07 left in regulation to lift the Sharks to victory. Peter Mannino stopped 28 shots in the loss, while counterpart Tyson Sexsmith turned aside 24-of-27 shots for his fifth win of the season.
The IceCaps once again allowed the opening goal of the game when Ferriero notched his seventh of the season on a three-on-two rush, converting a John McCarthy pass for the game's first goal. The score would stay 1-0 until late in the first when IceCaps defenceman Zach Redmond fired a shot past Sexsmith for a power play goal, his third tally of the season. The teams headed off the ice tied at one after 20 minutes of play.
The IceCaps looked to be in control after scoring twice early in the second to take a 3-1 lead. Redmond's second of the night, also with the man advantage, gave St. John's the lead just 49 seconds into the period. Redmond took a pass from Paul Postma in the middle of the ice and wired a slapshot that found the back of the net untouched. Then, at the 5:52 mark, Patrice Cormier finished off an odd-man rush, wristing a shot past Sexsmith after a nifty feed from Ben Maxwell. Maxwell, playing in just his second game since being reassigned to St. John's, picked up a pair of assists and looked dangerous all night.
"I thought we had a real good effort," said head coach Keith McCambridge. "Worcester came out with a really good start, which we expected, but as the second started I thought we did a real good job hemming them in their zone.
"They get one off a stick in front, which was a nice play by them, and another one off the back glass and bounces out to the open man in front. Unfortunate turns in the game, but overall I thought we did a lot of good things. But we have to find a way to close these games out and get those two points."
The Sharks battled back to tie the game late in the second on the goals by Ferriero, his second of the night, and Tony Lucia. Ferriero deftly deflected a Matt Pelech point shot that went just over Mannino's left shoulder to make it 3-2, while Lucia took advantage of a strange bounce off the end boards for an easy tap in at the side of the net to tie it 3-3 heading into the final frame.
The teams played an even third period until Wingels knocked the puck past Mannino after a mad scramble in front of the IceCaps net for the eventual game-winner. The IceCaps attempt at a comeback in the late stages of the third was stymied by an aggressive Worcester forecheck, which saw all three forwards trap the IceCaps defencemen down low behind their own goal line.
"Losing like that is really tough," said Redmond following the contest. "We know Worcester is one of the hardest teams and we expect their best effort again on Sunday."
The game got chippy midway through the first period, as IceCaps forward Tommy Maxwell squared off with Sharks winger Jimmy Bonneau. Off the ensuing draw, Garth Murray and Curt Gogol dropped the gloves as well, sending the capacity crowd at Mile One into a frenzy. The IceCaps have now sold out all 15 home games to start the season, with Friday's attendance of 6,287 bringing the season's total to more than 94,000.
With the loss, the IceCaps fall to 15-6-4-0 on the season but still maintain a three-point lead atop the Eastern Conference and a five-point advantage in the Atlantic Division. St. John's has lost two in a row overall and are 3-2-0-0 in the month of December.
The IceCaps will play their final home game before the Christmas break on Sunday afternoon as they finish up a two-game series with the Sharks. All the action can be heard at www.stjohnsicecaps.com or on 930 AM This Is Newfoundland Labrador with play-by-play broadcaster Brian Rogers. Puck drop is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. with the pregame show beginning at 1:30.

A surprisingly intimate documentary reveals the vulnerable side of the much-maligned former heavyweight champion of the world
When Mike Tyson allowed old friend James Toback to make a documentary about his turbulent life, he never expected the positive reception the film, simply titled Tyson, would receive.
A modern day anti-hero who has been through the mill and survived, the former world heavyweight boxing champion deserves credit for his bravery in laying his life bare.
"Jim just elicited all this stuff out of me, I don't know how he did it," admits Tyson, seated alongside Toback for our interview. "I'm humble now. I never was humble when I was fighting. I've learnt to be humble."
Certainly no one had expected the heavyweight presence Tyson would cast on screen. Essentially one long interview where Toback puts his friend in the psychiatrist's chair for 90 mins and points the camera straight into his tattooed face, the film reveals its subject to be thoughtful and pensive.
The retired boxer, who physically is relatively unscathed - although he does admit to having suffered blackouts - is surprisingly articulate as he reflects on his life and career in a world fuelled by drugs, sex and violence. But even if today the soft-spoken 43-year-old has put on weight and seems like a huge teddy bear, you still probably wouldn't want to cross him.
The film came about because Toback, the legendary filmmaker who directed Fingers (1978) and wrote Bugsy (1991) for his friend Warren Beatty, has known Tyson since he turned up on the 1987 set of Toback's The Pick-up Artist. They became close friends, ruminating philosophically on the vagaries of the human psyche, and eventually Tyson appeared in Toback's Black and White (1991) where he famously slapped and punched Robert Downey Jr. (the star of four Toback movies including The Pick-Up Artist). A documentary on Tyson's life had been brewing for years.
"Mike and I have had a lot of unusually intimate conversations and many of them have made it into film," Toback explains. "When we decided to do the film my mother had just died, Mike was in rehab and I felt if we were ever going to do this, now was the time as it could be done cheaply [on high definition digital video] in a visually arresting way. We both moved ahead not knowing where it would go. Mike had the idea it would be a DVD sold on 125th Street [of New York's Harlem] for cash, whereas my idea was it would be in the Cannes competition and win the Palme d'Or!" he laughs. "We were never in conflict essentially and it's not anything other than a truthful exploration of the themes and subjects that his fascinating, complicated life raises."
Tyson insists he did not do the film to set the record straight. "I just wanted to do it because James thought it would be interesting and I went along with James. I never thought this movie was going to make me a better person. In the United States I don't think if I won the Nobel Peace Prize it would change what people think about me."
Was he embarrassed talking about sex and love so openly on camera? "I wasn't embarrassed. I felt vulnerable, but to be honest I had no idea this thing would make it to such a grand scale. I've been totally overwhelmed."
Toback says, there was never any notion of making a dramatic film. "I just wanted to do Mike, because I think Mike comes across in a way no one else LOWDOWN
What: Tyson, acclaimed documentary about the disgraced boxing champ
Where and when: SkyCity Theatre, Tue 21 July, 4pm & 8:45pm
could. When a person is still alive it would be weird in a way, and Mike has such a distinctive presence. The voice, the face, the psychology and the spirit that comes through are very moving."
The film presents Tyson as a troubled, bullied kid from a tough Brooklyn neighbourhood whose fear of humiliation shaped his life. Suffering from a breathing problem, and hampered by a lisp and a general lack of self-esteem, he soon got into trouble and wound up in a juvenile detention centre. One of three children of a single mother who died when he was 16, his saviour and ultimate father figure was coach Cus D'Amato, who became his legal guardian. D'Amato taught him how to re-direct his rage into boxing and helped him master the mental side of the game, which led to his becoming an unprecedented champion, the youngest man ever to win a world heavyweight title at just 20 years old. Tyson won his first 19 professional bouts by knockout, 12 in the first round. He was the undisputed heavyweight champion for over two years, before losing to underdog Buster Douglas in 1990.
D'Amato had always insisted the young athlete follow the traditional fighters' rule of abstaining from sex prior to a fight, a rule Tyson disobeyed after D'Amato's death in 1985. He admits that his hyperactivity with women in Japan, combined with insufficient training, contributed to his loss to Douglas.
Ultimately without his father figure for support, Tyson regained his lack of self-belief, which led to several defeats and comebacks, and to a highly unstable life overall. Although Tyson says he's changed - "I guess I'm more stable now, I'm a different person, I've changed my life over time" - he still admits to being "a pretty extreme person. "I'm not going to stop overnight. It just doesn't work that way in life. I am who I am."
In the film and in interviews he takes responsibility for everything he has done, yet he becomes riled at the mention of the 1992 rape conviction that led to his imprisonment for three and a half years, as he still swears his innocence.
"Sometimes in my life I've been abusive to women," he admits, "but [with the rape case] I felt I was dealt a misjustice. I was convicted and thought it was wrong, unfair and inhumane."
The incident is still so clear in public memory that Tyson has tended to keep to himself in recent years. He has however been a fairly devoted father - well, as devoted as he can be given that he has children with several different women, and that he is no longer with any of them. Though our interview took place before the accidental death of his four-year-old daughter Exodus in a freak accident on a treadmill, and his subsequent marriage to girlfriend, Lakiha Spicer, 32, he speaks proudly about his love for his kids.
"I teach them to have respect for people and to treat them how you would want to be treated."
It seems that the recent tragedy struck just as Tyson has been trying to set things right, and just as he was experiencing another flush of fame in the smash hit movie, The Hangover.
"We all do things when we're ****** up," he told the young men who had stolen his pet tiger on their friend's buck's night. He also air-drums and sings along to the Phil Collins hit, In The Air Tonight.
Currently living in Las Vegas, Tyson admitted in a recent US interview that he has now been sober for 15 months, after years of drug and alcohol abuse. He has been happy travelling the world doing exhibition boxing shows and product endorsements for the cash (he was declared bankrupt in 2003) and enjoys lending his celebrity to help youth organisations across America.
Looking back, what was it that boxing gave him? "Some sort of bizarre spiritual self aggrandisement," he responds. "I always looked at it as if I was some barbaric king coming to conquer the Roman Empire. I wanted to take it. Then one day, the desire just disappeared."
He does not miss the adrenaline rush of walking into the ring. "I would never want that again. To me it was a lot of trouble. I felt I could do anything. I felt I could be invincible. I felt I could walk along the street and do whatever I wanted. I was just too young for that. I wasn't experienced enough to deal with it."
If he had looked after himself, could he have been the undisputed best boxer ever? "In hindsight yeah, I would have been doing some serious stuff."

Irish Coffee: How Celtics re-match up against HawksMonday, April 23rd, 2012
UPDATE: Since Al Horford's original claim that playing against the Celtics in their first-round series was unrealistic, the Hawks center has changed his tune. A consultation with his surgeon resulted in a prognosis that he could return to the court on Thursday in a limited role, according to the most recent Yahoo! Sports report.
"It remains to be seen what I can bring," Horford told reporter Marc J. Spears. "But I hope to bring some scoring. They can't expect a lot from me defensively because it's been a while since I've even played. That's one of the things that will hold me back, but scoring I can help. And also with presence with the team in general."
It's official. When the NBA's Eastern Conference playoffs begin at month's end, the Celtics will face the Hawks — the same team that in 2008 took them to seven games in the first round. That was then, when the championship nucleus of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen was just finding its groove. This is now, five years later.
The first four of this core's 43 playoff wins came against Atlanta, but will its last also come against the Hawks?

Translanguaging techniques to be taught in Socorro ISD
Move over Spanglish, it's all about translanguaging
EL PASO, Texas - Over half the 26,000 students at Socorro High were at one point, English learners, making the $1.8 million-dollars the U.S. Department of Education approved for Socorro ISD and UTEP come in handy.
The grant will fund a program called Project LEAD, a five-year effort to improve skills of teachers who work with English learners.
Project Lead provides the tuition money for Socorro teachers who will then come here to UTEP where they'll take courses in translanguaging that they can then bring back to their classrooms.
Haza Barasheed comes from the United Arab Emirates and will be learning English through translanguaging techniques.
"Let's say for example, they've been discussing something as a whole group, right and she now puts them into smaller groups, to discuss, to research," said Elena Izquierdo, translanguaging co-principal investigator at UTEP. "So students get into their smaller groups and they're talking. So they can use their language so that they can communicate better because they're focused on the content."
Instead of just learning how to speak the language, students at Socorro will learn math, science and history in English and in an atmosphere that fosters their native language.
"The kids are coming with a strong academic foundation from Mexico but we want to make sure we bridge that academic vocabulary from Mexico and they start learning that academic vocabulary here in Socorro High School," said Principal Michael Serrano.
Serrano is hopeful translanguaging will help English-learning students excel in rigorous STARR testing and ensure they're better prepared for college and the American job market.

Singing Moms Help Preemies Eat
Half a million premature babies are born in the United States every year.
To continue the development that should have happened in the womb, many spend their first few months of life in intensive care.
That can mean a bigger risk of infections and a bigger hospital bill, but one doctor believes lullabies could reduce the chances of both and she's got the proof to back it up.
It's an emotional recording session for Rachel Shrier, since she's singing lullabies for her son John. He was born 16 weeks early.
Vanderbilt Doctor Nathalie Maitre says the problem with preemies is, "They don't know how to suck to get food, to swallow that food, and to breathe while you're swallowing it."
She believes Moms' voices can be the motivation they need.
Rachel's songs are plugged into a special pacifier device.
Doctor Maitre says, "If the baby is sucking at the right rhythm and strength, it plays mom's voice singing."
But if John doesn't do it right, the singing stops.
Rachel says, "He can correlate the sucking with hearing my voice."
A new study shows premature babies who received the therapy 15 minutes a day for five consecutive days, ate faster and went home up to 14 days sooner than other preemies.
Dr. Maitre says, "They grow better and then they're at much less risk of infection."
Rachel hopes it will help her baby boy too.
The doctor says the pacifier devices she uses is already on the market so the music therapy could be pupt in place at other hospitals with music and feeding specialists.
With neonatal intensive care costing thousands of dollars a day, the pacifier therapy could save the healthcare system tons of money.
BACKGROUND: Prematurity occurs when a pregnancy lasts less than 37 weeks; full-term infants are born 37 to 42 weeks after the mother's last menstrual period. Most of the time the cause of preterm delivery is unknown and it is not something the mother can control. However, sometimes it can be caused by a mother's health condition or lifestyle choices during pregnancy, like having diabetes mellitus, heart or kidney problems, hypertension, poor nutrition, an infection (specifically infections involving the amniotic membrane and genitals), or bleeding due to abnormal positioning of the placenta. Preterm deliveries can also happen due to structural abnormality or overstretching of the uterus by carrying more than one fetus or using tobacco, alcohol, or illicit drugs during pregnancy. Preterm deliveries occur more often in women younger than 19 or older than 40. However, it could happen to any woman even without risk factors. (Source: http://kidshealth.org/parent/growth/growing/preemies.html)
A PREEMIES BASIC NEEDS: More than 90 percent of preemies who weigh 800 grams or more (a little less than two pounds) survive. Those who weigh more than 500 grams (a little more than one pounds) have more than a 60 percent chance of survival. Preemies have special nutritional needs because they grow at a faster rate than full-term babies and their digestive systems are immature. Most preemies have to be fed slowly because of the risk of developing necrotizing enter colitis (NEC), an intestinal infection. Breast milk can be pumped by the mother and fed to the baby through a tube that goes from the baby's nose or mouth into the stomach. Breast milk is better than formula for preemies because it contains proteins that help fight infection and promote growth. Special fortifiers can be added to breast milk or to formula because preemies have higher mineral and vitamin needs than full-term infants. Almost all preemies have additional calcium and phosphorus by either adding fortifier to breast milk or directly through special formulas for preemies. The baby's blood chemicals and minerals, like salt, potassium, blood glucose, calcium, phosphate, and magnesium, are monitored and the baby's diet is adjusted to keep the substances in a regular range. (Source: http://kidshealth.org/parent/growth/growing/preemies.html)
NEW TECHNOLOGY: Florida State University discovered the Pacifier Activated Lullaby (PAL) device to help address the preemies' inability to suck. The PAL device helps infants learn the muscle movements they need to suck and feed. Jayne Standley, Florida State's Robert O. Lawton Distinguished Professor of Music Therapy and inventor of the PAL, says that preemies lack the neurological ability to coordinate the "suck/swallow/breathe" response needed for oral feeding. PAL uses a wired pacifier and speaker to provide musical reinforcement every time the baby sucks on it correctly. Clinical studies at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, University of Georgia Hospital in Athens, University of North Carolina Medical Center in Chapel Hill, and the Women's and Children's Hospital in Baton Rouge, LA proved that infants will increase their sucking rates up to 2.5 times more than infants not exposed to the musical reinforcement. In addition, PAL allows the parents a chance to connect with their babies during the development process. The device is now patented and has been approved by the FDA. Powers Device Technologies obtained the distribution and marketing rights. (Source: http://news.fsu.edu/More-FSU-News/Musical-pacifier-invention-to-help-premature-babies-one-lullaby-at-a-time) The randomized clinical trial at Vanderbilt University paired the PAL device with the sound of the mother's voice. The study involved 94 NICU infants in the Vanderbilt NICU. The 47 intervention-group received a lullaby book and recorded the mother's voice to the PAL. The music therapist administered it for 15 minute sessions for 5 consecutive days. The control group received the same lullaby book but did not record their voices. The researchers found that infants in the intervention group doubled the suck rate of oral feeds within five days. (Source: http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01600586)

Drucella Andersen Headquarters, Washington, D.C. March 4, 1992 (Phone: 202/453-8613)
Donald G. James Ames Research Center, Mountain View, Calif. (Phone: 415/604-3935)
NASA and the U.S. Army have begun a $25 million, 5-year program to expand the ability of helicopter pilots to fly close to the ground, around obstacles and in bad weather.
The effort at NASA's Ames Research Center, Mountain View, Calif., will experiment with innovative computer software that determines how helicopters respond to pilots' commands. This effort also will study the displays that give pilots information, better guidance and navigation systems and ways to improve helicopter weapons systems.
The program's main research tool is a highly-modified UH-60A Black Hawk helicopter called the Rotorcraft-Aircrew Systems Concepts Airborne Laboratory or "RASCAL". Researchers will conduct flight tests at Ames and at Crows Landing, a U.S. Navy facility in California's San Joaquin Valley.
"Both NASA and the U.S. Army have made improving helicopters' maneuverability and agility one of their top research and development program goals," said Edwin Aiken, NASA Ames Research Center Program Manager. "With RASCAL, we're putting a research laboratory in a helicopter. Now, when we experiment with flight control software, advanced displays or navigation aids, we can get a realistic sense of how they work."
Helicopters often operate under high-risk conditions, including high-speed, terrain-following flight near the ground ("nap-of-the-Earth" flying) and air combat, placing a premium on their agility and maneuverability, Aiken said. Maneuverability refers to total helicopter performance, while agility refers to a helicopter's speed in executing maneuvers in response to pilot commands.

- 2 -
The UH-60A RASCAL replaces a CH-47B Chinook helicopter that performed research from 1986 to 1989, but had some limitations. "Research with the CH-47B was limited to low speed and hover flight regimes. With the higher performance capability of the UH-60, we can more accurately simulate future high-speed, low-flying military helicopters," Aiken said.
The UH-60A will be used in three research programs: Superaugmented Controls for Agile Maneuvering Performance (SCAMP), Automated Nap-of-the-Earth (ANOE) and Rotorcraft Agility and Pilotage Improvement Demonstration (RAPID).
SCAMP will investigate methods to improve helicopter maneuverability and agility with advanced flight controls. Flight test results will be compared with computer analyses and ground simulations.
The ANOE program will develop low-altitude guidance algorithms and pilot display laws that will let helicopters to automatically follow terrain and avoid obstacles. Airborne activities will focus on guidance and control and detection of obstacles and hazards.
RAPID will develop ways to measure and rate helicopter agility and will produce a system to help pilots fly with improved stability and control. The program also will create methods to let pilots fly helicopters to their limits without increased workload, will research ways to improve weapon systems with special-purpose control laws that govern a helicopter's stability and agility and will try to improve the helicopters' stability when carrying suspended loads.
EDITORS NOTE: A photograph of the NASA/Army UH-60 RASCAL is available to illustrate this release by calling 202/453-8375.

It will not go off! It takes very major heat to initiate ammo.
If you happened to focus sunlight with a magnifying glass - on a primer - it could do it but 120º + in car can't do it.
For long term storage tho it is hardly desirable but short-term not really gonna matter too much, added to which if you plan to use said ammo within next few months an degredation will be IMO minimal to zero.
Think of the guys in the sand box - their ammo must often be gettin very hot!

Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Slaughter and May have advised on the £1.5bn sale of Stansted Airport.
Britain's fourth largest airport was sold late on Friday night after Ferrovial-controlled BAA was forced to sell off assets by the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) (2 February 2012).
The Freshfields team, led by City corporate partners Laurie McFadden and Frank Miller, acted for BAA, which is now known as Heathrow Airport Holdings.
The Slaughters team acting for successful bidder Manchester Airport Group (MAG) was led by corporate head Frances Murphy and partner Jeff Twentyman.
The MAG offer was backed by Australian funders IFM, which was advised by Linklaters corporate and M&A partner Paul McNicholl.
A Burges Salmon team, led by partners Nick Graves, Andrew Dunlop and Matthew O'Regan with associates Julie Book and Amy Watson, advised the Competition Commission on the corporate aspects of the deal.
A team from Herbert Smith Freehills led by partners Julian Pollock and Matthew White advised seller Heathrow Airport Holdings on the real estate and planning aspects of the deal.
Allen & Overy infrastructure partner Conrad Andersen acted for the banks providing financing for the MAG bid.
In November, Freshfields partners McFadden and Miller acted for Ferrovial in its sale of a 5.7 per cent stake in Heathrow Airport to China Investment Corporation (CIC), which was advised by Clifford Chance corporate partner Brendan Moylan, with Simmons & Simmons partner Matt Rees and Fasken Martineau partner Daniel Picotte also picking up roles (1 November 2012).
Ferrovial has been decreasing its interest in the airport with a string of sell-offs of its diminishing stake, including a 10 per cent stake to Qatar Holding in August this year, with Linklaters partner Richard Good advising the Middle Eastern sovereign wealth fund.
BAA decided to end £3m of litigation over the sale of Stansted Airport last year after several rulings by the Competition Commission, the CAT and the Court of Appeal. It opted not to take the case to the Supreme Court.
Herbert Smith partners Nusrat Zar and Stephen Wisking had instructed Brick Court Chambers' Nicholas Green QC to lead Martin Chamberlain of the same set for BAA throughout. They were assisted by the competition team from Freshfields earlier in the dispute.
BAA's legal team went head-to-head with Monckton Chambers' Daniel Beard QC and Alan Bates, instructed for the Competition Commission, and Paul Harris QC of the same set and Sarah Love of Brick Court Chambers instructed by Nabarro partner George Maling for intervener Ryanair.
The series of legal battles against the regulators began after the Competition Commission ordered BAA to sell Gatwick, Stansted and either Edinburgh or Glasgow airports in March 2009, citing market dominance in the sector.
The operator sold Gatwick, its second-largest airport, for £1.5bn in 2009 (21 October 2009).
BAA now owns four UK airports, Heathrow, Southampton, Aberdeen and Glasgow.
The sale is expected to be completed by the end of February.
Passenger numbers at Stansted, have dropped from 24 million in 2007 to around 18 million now. It handles around 131,000 flights a year with 14 airlines serving more than 150 destinations in 32 countries.
MAG owns and operates Manchester, East Midlands and Bournemouth airports.
Background to this deal:
Freshfields has a longstanding relationship with Heathrow Airport Holdings, having advised the Ferrovial-led consortium on the acquisition of Heathrow Airport Holdings (formerly BAA) in 2006, with partner Laurie McFadden advising (6 June 2006), and then on a subsequent refinancing. The team acts for both Ferrovial and BAA and advised on the sale of Gatwick Airport for £1.51bn.
Burges Salmon previously advised the Competition Commission on the sale of Gatwick Airport for £1.5bn in 2009 and Edinburgh Airport for £807m in 2012.
The sale of Stansted marks the completion of the three airport disposals that the Competition Commission ordered in its 2009 report into BAA's ownership of seven UK airports.
Burges Salmon did not provide competition law advice, which was handled in-house by the Competition Commission.

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by Jumpman313G, Oct 7, 2008.
Roy's been having a bad attitude though.
The way I see it, there are a number of reasons why we should trade him: 1. He's due to be a free agent at the end of this season and unless the Lions franchise him (over pay him for a 1 year deal), I doubt very much that he'll re-sign with us. We should try and get something for him now before he's gone with no compensation. It isn't like he's the difference between us winning and losing this season. 2. Calvin Johnson is better, faster, taller, younger & humbler. 3. WR is a skill position. We need to build from the trenches first. Having 2 top WRs is pointless if the O-Line can't block and the D can't keep the opponent out of the end zone. In order to improve in those areas, we need to trade someone with value. 4. Why would any other team want the worst team in the league's worst players? 5. His attitude sucks. Rod has slowly been getting rid of players with bad attitudes, Dre Bly, Shaun Rogers, etc.
Jamm, Rod's Dee, his specialty, gives up 31 pts a game. If Roy doesn't want to be here don't over pay to keep him. - Any player worth his weight should be every hostle to losing. Any coach worth a Pro job should be 8-8 in 2 seasons. F' this rebuild S'. Rebuild after 2 SB runs.
With the Lions, it isn't a rebuild, it's just a build.
I agree. I'm not saying that we should over pay him, I'm saying that we would have to over pay him if we wanted to keep him past this season. I don't think we should. I think we should trade him now before we lose him for nothing.
Dump him AND his stinking attitude.
With the history of this franchise since the Fords bought it I no longer blame the players and umpteen coaches. Though I hope FMC survives, I also hope the Fords feel squeezed enough to sell the Lions.
Separate names with a comma.

The Baby Owner's Manual: Operating Instructions, Trouble-Shooting Tips,… (2004)
by Louis Borgenicht
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The set treats the baby as a computer unit fresh out of the box, complete with a big Quick Start guide. The book is full of good information and all the items are both funny and useful. Its the sort of gift that you will buy time and time again. (I've bought two, so far).
From Lilac Wolf and Stuff
This is so funny! It really does have useful information, but I'm a mom twice over, so nothing in it was news to me. If I were to gift this to someone, it would be the dad-to-be.
As funny as it is, the graphics catch your eye and the information is laid out in a logical manner. It literally is an instruction book about babies. I think it would take out some of the mystery that usually scares guy silly.
One of the first things covered is "The Baby: Diagram and Parts List" and it goes on to talk about the head, hair, fontanels, eyes, etc. Just a quick description, but enough to let someone know what's coming. The only thing missing is the fact that they may lactate. Both my boys lactated a few days after birth. Totally weirded me out, thank GOD for Google! lol
But there are pictures, information, and lots of to-dos to prepare for the baby, how to hold the baby, how to feed the baby. You get the idea. I love that they call the pediatricians "service providers" and parents "users."
Best advice "Trust your own instincts and intuition." Yes, I really do think this is a good baby book...I mean Owner's Manual.
The Baby Owner's Manual by Louis Borgenicht, MD, and Joe Borgenicht, D.A.D., can be used as a reference guide by all new parents and probably some who already have children. The main approach of the book is similar to how a manual would talk about your new stereo or other consumer product by first describing its parts and functions and then discussing care and maintenance. There are tips on how to perfectly swaddle the baby and how to deal with emergency situations. Included also is a section on what accessories are not included, such as bottles and diapers, and a caution that some "models" may vary. New parents don't have a ton of time to read this book cover-to-cover, but it is easily dipped into for advice, particularly if they encounter a particular problem at feeding or bed time.
Please see the full review on Aug. 12: http://savvyverseandwit.com/2011/08/review-of-quirks-the-baby-owners-books.html
This presented some great instruction for a first time parent in a way that is easy to read for anyone that is more technically inclined. This is geared mostly toward men though.

BAGUIO CITY, Philippines - The price of flour went up by about 3.5 percent last week compared with the prevailing price two weeks ago, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) reported.
DTI Cordillera Administrative Region Regional Director Myrna Pablo, said one cavan of Filipinas flour now is sold at P775 which is Phigher than the previous price.
Willington flour is P905 which is P55 more than its price two weeks ago. Pablo said the increase in the price of imported raw material triggered the price increase which is also aggravated by the skyrocketing prices of oil that is now affecting the local banking industry not only in this mountain resort city but also in the different parts of the country.

Tejeros convention's 114th year Friday
IMUS - Officials are commemorating the 114th anniversary of Tejeros Convention Friday with simple traditional activities and the unprecedented unveiling of the monument of the late General Emilio F. Aguinaldo, a revolutionary leader and country's first president, in Rosario town of this province.
The commemoration of the historic Tejeros Convention was set four days earlier this year from the original March 22 which is also the birth anniversary of the late general and the founding anniversary of the Philippine Army. The activities and unveiling of the Aguinaldo Monument will be held at Casa Hacienda Tejeros Convention on General Trias Drive, Rosario. (Anthony Giron)
Red tide toxin in shellfish
DAGUPAN CITY (PNA) - The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) has imposed a ban on the gathering, transporting and selling of all kinds of shellfish from the towns of Bolinao and Anda in western Pangasinan.
The shellfish ban was confirmed by BFAR Regional Director Nestor Domenden who said this was based on the result of monitoring conducted by his office showing that the shellfish collected from Bolinao and Anda are now contaminated by red tide.
This means that shellfishes from these two towns are not safe to eat as they are likely to be contaminated by red tide organism and can cause paralytic shellfish poisoning when eaten, Domenden said. He said the symptoms of PSP include nausea, vomiting, stomach pains and partial paralysis on some parts of the body.

Vivendi's Universal Music Group has offered to dispose of local assets that could fetch more than €250 million ($294 million) to soothe European regulators' antitrust concerns over its takeover of EMI Group's recorded-music business.
Universal offered to sell Parlophone Records, home to Coldplay and Gorillaz, in Britain while keeping the label's Beatles songs. The company would also sell some labels, including EMI Classics and Virgin Classics in Europe, and EMI's units in France, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Poland, Portugal, Norway and Sweden to obtain approval for the £1.2 billion ($1.8 billion) deal.
Universal Music, the world's largest record company, said yesterday it had submitted a package of concessions to EU regulators. Universal says about 20 entities, ranging from independent music labels to major rivals such as Sony Music Entertainment and Bertelsmann AG's BMG Rights Management LLC, have indicated interest in the assets that could be put up for sale, according to two people familiar with the process.
"We believe the package fully addresses the commission's concerns and follows our constructive discussions with regulators, independent labels and competitors," Universal said.
The offer will now be circulated to third-party record labels and customers for so-called market testing.
A Universal representative declined to comment on details of the concessions. A representative for BMG also refused to comment.
Citigroup agreed in November to sell EMI Group's recorded-music and publishing businesses in separate transactions. Universal agreed to buy EMI's record labels and a Sony-led group that includes billionaire David Geffen paid $US2.2 billion for the publishing unit.
Universal also offered to sell the Virgin Classics label in Europe and the British catalogue of Pink Floyd.
Universal is also proposing to divest some its own businesses, including Sanctuary Records, its business in Greece and several European jazz labels, EMI Chief Executive Officer Roger Faxon said in an internal e-mail to employees.
Universal would keep the biggest parts of the EMI Records and Virgin Records businesses in Europe under the proposed concessions.
Richard Branson said this month he would bid for Virgin Records, the music label he launched in London in the 1970s, should Universal sell it. .
Branson has held talks with Patrick Zelnik about bidding together, a Branson spokesman said. Zelnik started Virgin Records in France in the 1980s.
EU regulators last month sent Universal a list of potential competition problems, noting the deal would remove a key rival and could harm competition for music sales. While regulators can block potentially anti-competitive deals, companies usually try to eliminate such concerns by offering to sell units or promise to change business behavior.
Universal would be "almost twice the size of the next largest player" in Europe, the EU said in March.

Where I stayed
On the friggin bus
Some were already swimming, enjoying the fresh air, while the streets behind us were slowly getting busier. Caught some shots of the sunrise and by 645am, Nha Trang had fully woken. Eventually boarded the bus to Dalat at 8am as the temperature slowly but surely rose. [See note - Conversation with US war veteran Douglas]
Got to Dalat at 2pm, worn out but thankfully Dalat was cool in climate as it is on the highlands
Walking through an old alley along the lake was quite an experience. Narrow stone walkways fronted by run down shophouses on both sides, the shops were a random combination of busineses ranging from barber shops, dessert stalls to butcher stalls and live seafood stalls. I stopped twice for local desserts which caught my attention. Made my way uphill towards the central Dalat Market and found a decent looking seafood stall and promised myself to return later for supper.
Checked out a cafe overlooking the central piazza and spent the hour writing my journal with a nice mango milkshake. Heading towards Dalat Market, was surprised to see trongs of people like the day had just started. The market was madly busy like bees returning with nectar to their hives. Food, fruits, clothes and more food. The main stair of the market was littered with food stalls and plastic stools. People were busy ordering or eating. What a sight!
A pretty interesting incident happened. The police arrived and started chasing the food vendors away with their stern voice and wielding batons. But the moment their backs were turned, the vendors almost immediately (after a pretence) returned to their exact spots and busineses were as usual
My dinner tonight was a mishmashed of every stall vendors that I liked. Soy bean milk, glutinous rice with coconut shavings, bbq chicken stick wrapped in vine leaves...etc. Returned to the seafood food stall and ordered sea snails cooked in curry and also my second Hot Vit Lon - which looked even more disturbing than my first in Hanoi.
Heading back towards my hotel, I decided to take a brisk walk to Dalat University 2 km away. That side of town was lined with cafes, karaoke and many more food stalls with crowds of uni students out for a late supper.
Dalat Note - Conversation with US War veteran - Douglas
On my bus journey to Dalat from Nha Trang, I had a chance meeting with Douglas, a US vietnam war veteran and learnt first hand about his Nam tour of duty. Douglas was on the same bus to Dalat and had visited Vietnam for the last 15 years annually.
Douglas was 19 years old when he volunteered for the Vietnam war. In 1967, his first year in Vietnam, he was based at Phan Rang (where we met at lunch). He signed up for combat duty but was delegated to a desk bound typing role
Douglas recounted the day the Tet Offensive was launched - usually the Viet Congs would only attack at night but on the eve of the lunar year 1968, the Viet Congs begun simultaneous and spectacular attacks on all south vietnam cities and towns in the afternoon. It caught the Americans by surprise when just a week before Tet Offensive, south of the DMZ was attacked severely, regrouping most of the American troops to that region.
Kennedy brought the war to Vietnam, believing US must stop the insurgence of communism into rest of asia, for the best interests of the US. Back in the 60s, after World War II, with the iron rule of Soviet Union and China's communist insurgency, Douglas agreed that US fears were accounted for. Just before Kennedy was assassinated, he already had a draft to congress for the withdrawal of all US forces in Vietnam
Douglas also shared an interesting tale. One of Douglas' platoon mates returned to Saigon in 1986. At his hotel room, 4 viet cong veterans (from the south) heard wind and visited. They shared stories and forgave each other. The vietnamese pointed out that the North Vietnam communist party screwed them over big time with empty promises of shared political powers between the North and South after the war. Shortly in the night, Viet secret police rocked up to the hotel and deported Douglas's mate on the following morning.. He returned a year later to Saigon, married a vietnamese woman and started the first English school in Saigon. Until today, the south vietnamese still refer Ho Chi Minh City to her former name - Saigon. Maybe as a mark of defiance.

Andretti Autosport to enter Munoz in Indy 500
Andretti Autosport will enter Carlos Munoz in the Indianapolis 500 next season.
The team will also field the No. 26 entry for Munoz for the 2013 Firestone Indy Lights season.
The 20-year old from Colombia ran his first season in Lights last year for Andretti. He finished fifth in the standings with wins at Edmonton and Fontana. He ended the year with five podiums and nine top-10 finishes.
If Munoz makes the Indy 500 field next May, it will be his IndyCar Series debut.
It marks the first time in Andretti Autosport history the team has entered cars in both the Indy Lights and Indy 500 races at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in consecutive seasons. The team did it last May with Sebastian Saavedra.

Starting from ZERO
Here is my situation. I'm planning on buying a house in the next 0-3 months. As soon as I get in I'm buying a project. I'm am looking at some 1930 - 35 trucks or sedans that I can resto-mod. The catch is I know nothing about cars, like everything else I plan on learning as I go.
So what I'm really looking for is a starting point. After the vehicle do I decide on an engine and build around that or what? I do have a friend who has a body shop and another who does interior, so that is not as much of an issue. Right now I am in the planning stage, and still waiting on getting a house. But it's never too early to get started. Thanks for any suggestions or help.
Id make sure your new home has a reasonably large garage for all the tools and car parts you are about to collect. Possibly even a heater if you live in a northern climate.
There are many books available on how to build a Hot Rod, Id pick up a few and start reading them at your leisure.
Same things with how to build a motor. If you know which brand and size of motor you want to use, reading about that type of motor will familiarize you with its layout.
You should put your entire project down on paper. Get a plan together, put prices to parts you want. Figure out for sure what youre gonna have to farm out(paint/body, engine machine work, axle assembly, frame welding, etc.) Be realistic, cause planning on doing everything your self is gonna mean a lot of expensive equipment, and some tech classes, which is not a bad idea anyway, check your local community college for adult education classes in welding, body work.
If youre planning on buying an aftermarket body and frame(original stuff costs big bucks), find out what your state or province requires you to do about title and registration.
Good luck, now go find a big garage with a small house attached.

HA! Thanks, yeah the house is first. We are looking at a few that actually have enough garage space. Some have an extra shop built on. I can actually do a lot, if not most of the metal work. I do have experience with that stuff. It is all the working parts. Since I have nothing but time I have thought about classes or even a course at a trade school like UTI or WyoTech. I live in California so the weather is not really an issue.
As for vehicle planning, so far I have found a 1935 Chevy 1/2 ton, shed stored with just surface rust. The floor looks good & solid, easy to see since the cab is empty. No glass but no big deal since I would replace all the old stuff with new safety glass. Engine wise I'm thinking a GM 454. That is about as far as. Have gotten so far.
Thank you for your input & insight.

You think the car will be your first project?......oh no Senoir, I'm assuming your married so the NEW HOUSE will be your first and only project for quite some time. It's called "honey do's" ....then when you're done with those (which never end by the way) will you be able to work on YOUR project.
Word of advise, use the famous old KISS system....."keep it symple stupid" there are probably thousands of half finished project cars sitting in garages all over the world because the owners went nuts and got way in over their heads on the build.
These things cost a LOT of money no matter how much you can do, anyone of the members on this forum that has ever built a hot rod from the ground up will tell you the same thing. There's always something else to buy...which usually cost several hundred bucks. If you look around you can probably find a project that some guy is tired of, can't afford to finish and is getting ragged on by the wife to get the f*&$%^#* thing out of the garage..... and can be bought for a fair price.
As FmrStrtracer so wisely said, make up a plan that also fits your budget AND stick to it. Don't over judge your ability to do everything and you'll be surprised how may thousands and I mean thousands of little things you have to buy will add up. So have fun but keep it simple.
|The Following User Says Thank You to 327NUT For This Useful Post:
LawrenceMR (08-19-2012)
consider a kit car. all the parts are available or some can be fabricated,it comes with instructions,others have already built that, options are listed and it still is very easy to customise to your likings
I would read detailed builds on forums like this one and check out Hotrod magazine, Rod and Custom, Hot rod deluxe, Streetrodding and others for ideas. From a practical point starting with a glass body and an after market frame may be the less expensive way to go. Real steel from the 30s is scarce in even halfway decent shape.
@327Nut - I'm actually lucky that my wife is totally cool with this project. I am recently retired @ 35 and NEED something to do. I am lucky enough to have a pension so I have that going for me.
When it comes to the actual vehicle if it becomes too much trouble I might go from resto-mod to more of a rat rod, especially if I need to start cutting steel out and replacing it. I might buy something pull the body off the chassis and end up with just a chassis. If so then I will go with a fiberglass body, or I will just buy a casket and build the Dragula from the Monsters!
I am looking forward to this whole process. I expect problems, frustrations but also some fun and education on the way. Thanks again.

Perspective or wireframe representations are
not supported in Stata 8 or 9 graphics to the
best of my knowledge. To do it with reasonable
generality -- e.g. not assuming data points are
on a grid with square mesh -- is perhaps sufficiently
tricky that many people are using something
else while hoping that StataCorp get round to
it eventually.
Heat or contour or isopleth representations are
more nearly in sight. The success of -tmap- (now -spmap-)
shows that much is possible in Stata 8/9 with
persistence. Vince Wiggins' talks at the London
and Boston meetings in 2004 include various striking
examples. But anyone who guesses that contouring is
easy should try programming it.

This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Absolutely nothing. The rat under my sink.
Easy off easy on the highway plus breakfast included very Spartan, and no one working the desk when I tried to check out at 8am.
bed comfortable and room quite adequate price -- could have stayed in Lewisburg for $20 less.
Close to highway Grounds could be cleaned up and made a little more attractive. Room could be cleaned a little better.
Understand it was one star, but still....dirty, worn, horrible linen, slept in my own blanket.
Not anything Location, door safety lock was broke, walls were dirty, microwave was dirty, smudge marks all over mirror and tv screen. Towel were stained badly. It said full breakfast was offered. There was not breakfast at that site at all.

So lil fast story...
Coming home from work the other night....late....On the west side highway (NYC) semi traffic but pretty clear..very cool evening weather wise.
I pull up to a new M3 at the light...(some prepy asshole)...with his girlfriend. I gave his ride a respectful nod cause BMW's are sweet machines let alone an M3, as I eye his car . He looks at me with a WTF are you kidding me look in his eyes then I see him lean over a bit more and really look and i can read his lips say "ohh its an SRT" to his girlfriend. Then he laughs.
Im a lil insulted now n pissed.
OK ill end this story...and no bullshit...light turns green we both look at each other (im in sport mode already)......Im totaly not a race car driver and no idea how to race..
So I just mash the ****ing shit out of my beast....he does the same.....
Anyone who knows Manhattan...It was from chambers street to about where ground zero starts.....
I F....Kn smoked him!!! prob if we kept going with open space he might have got me but from ..our lil start point to the next........SRT
Re: Vs....m3
Nice. Couldn't tell that story in an X5, eh?
Re: Vs....m3
AWESOME!!! You should of ended it with offering his girlfriend a ride hahaha. There's pretty much nothing better than beating some prepy guy or a mustang. Congrats on the win!
Re: Vs....m3
LOl no im just being honest was a new M3 sedan
Re: Vs....m3
Good job bra!! Take his biotch :)
Re: Vs....m3
yea did feel kinda good...
his girl had no choice but to say umm he beet u..lol
Re: Vs....m3
nice kill brotha!
Re: Vs....m3
Any day an idiot is put in his place is a good day, nice one!
Re: Vs....m3
I always laughed at other cars when I raced off the line in my '06 SRT8 Jeep, almost impossible to beat the Jeep's explosive acceleration.
Re: Vs....m3
But AWD certainly comes in handy when accelerating. When I owned a 2006 M5 and a 2006 X5 4.8is - and when my uncle visited - we launched them against each other. It was close from one traffic-light to the next...;)
Re: Vs....m3
unbelievable though; the M3 guy must have been riding with a fat b*tch of a gf in the passenger seat, hence the extra weight to slow him down... great feat :thumbsup:

John Walter of Liberto Cleaners is thinking of future generations in every aspect of his business, from biodegradable detergents to accenting his building with reclaimed slate from uptown houses. His wife's grandfather started the business in 1932, and in the mid 1960s his father-in-law bought the business. It's an anniversary year as 10 years ago this month he and his wife bought the business from his father-in-law. Green dry cleaning is Liberto's mission, and Walter is an avid researcher of every aspect of finding the gentlest, most efficient way to clean.
Perchloroethelyne, perc for short, is a harsh carcinogen found in some dry cleaning establishments. "When this is used they don't use any detergents with it, so the clothes are washed in this very harsh solvent, and then the clothes are dried and pressed. What's so bad about that solvent is that in most cities you cannot even rent a space in a shopping center if you use this because of all the long term effects of perc poisoning to the ground. It will seep though a concrete slab if you were to spill it on your floor," Walter explains. "Cleanup is just horrible, not to mention carcinogens.
We do not allow any solvent like that in our business. We use a man-made solvent based on mineral spirits, DF2000. Even though it's petroleum based, we limit ourselves to when we even put that on garments," Walter explains.
Depending on the level of cleaning required, clothing can be wet cleaned, better for the environment. "Wet cleaning is a process used for dry-clean-only clothes that uses all biodegradable detergents, which have a water base. It's 100 percent safe on fabric for shrinkage and color loss." Walter explains, "Seventy-nine percent of all garments can safely be wet cleaned. And since it's a water base and biodegradable detergent, it's very eco friendly." Even when dry cleaning is required, Walter notes, "The type of dry cleaning machine we use vents zero vapor to the atmosphere." Liberto Cleaners uses a sealed machine to keep caustic chemicals from seeping into the atmosphere.
With so much attention to what's next to your skin, Liberto Cleaners also focuses on being environmentally conscious in many other ways.
"You've seen pictures of big pressing machines—that is a very inefficient pressing machine because all of this raw steam after you burn natural gas escapes into the atmosphere. At our cleaners we will hand press all the clothing. We use a hand iron that resembles a household hand iron, custom made for our industry and very efficient. It uses less power and produces a better garment, and you're not releasing so much energy into the atmosphere.
He adds the tidbit that the term "sweatshop" originated when raw steam was released into dry cleaning facilities years ago, but it's not applicable to Liberto Cleaners since they capture the steam to preheat hot water for the washing machines.
They not only use biodegradable detergents as often as possible in the dry cleaning, but customers bring back hangers and bags for recycling, and they offer delivery service. "To reduce our carbon footprint, we offer pickup and delivery.
It's much more efficient to send one van around the city than to have 100 customers driving to our cleaners dropping off clothes," Walter explains. He takes it one step further. "As soon as they offer hybrid vehicles large enough to deliver clothes from, we will be using those."
In every way, Liberto aspires to be a greener cleaner.

Barclays has been accused of "inappropriate" behaviour after one of its analysts was caught threatening to "steal" ideas from an internet start-up company backed by the Government.
An employee at the banking giant was emailed by a friend who recommended Nutmeg, a new website that offers to manage portfolios for people with as little as £1,000 to invest.
The change analyst at Barclays Wealth and Investment Management replied: "Signed up a few weeks ago — cool tools on their site. We're going to steal them." But instead of sending it back to his friend, the analyst accidentally emailed his plan to the Nutmeg website, which was founded by technology entrepreneur Nick Hungerford.
The 32-year-old former stockbroker told the Evening Standard: "I'm surprised that Barclays appears to want to copy Nutmeg's product. This feels somewhat inappropriate, but we will take it as a compliment."
One of Nutmeg's investors is Todd Ruppert, who recently retired as head of T Rowe Price's Global Investment Services, an American fund with more than £400 billion of assets. He told the Evening Standard that existing wealth managers such as Barclays should be worried by the rise of Nutmeg.
He said: "The provision of wealth management services seems to be in constant turmoil and trust has been badly bruised, if not knocked out.
"Nutmeg is a disruptive force for good in the industry. UK retail investors are currently underserved and mis-served and consumer trust needs to be restored by services such as this. Existing wealth managers, stockbrokers and IFAs [independent financial advisers] should feel threatened."
Mr Hungerford came up with the idea for Nutmeg in Silicon Valley in the US before being asked to site the fledgling company back in the UK by a government trade delegation. He added: "I thought it was my duty to build the company in England. The financial, operational and engineering talent in London is second to none."
A Barclays spokesman declined to comment. However, a source at the bank said the email was "definitely misjudged" and the employee had been spoken to.

It is starting to feel more official. On Tuesday I received access to my Stanford GSB email account. Now I have to try to figure out how to get it to work with my mobile device.
One cool thing about the mail program is that I can look up all admitted applicants who have submitted their deposits as well as current students. I wish Stanford had a more comprehensive search program like HBS's "classcard" database, which allows you to search admitted students by undergrad institution, location, company, etc. I'm sure that I will have access to a complete directory as a student, but it would be nice to start figuring out who is going to be in my class.
And congratulations to all round 2 admits! Hope to see you in Palo Alto.
