Path 11 Productions LLC Releases Teaser Trailer with New Release Date of Beyond the Physical
Part II of a Documentary Series investigating consciousness in the non-physical realms of the universe
It has been almost two years since the original announcement of the release of this film. The filmmakers, April Hannah and Mike Habernig originally announced the release date of Spring 2012 but they fell short of being able to produce and edit the film in that amount of time. "The first film, The Afterlife focused on death and questioned does the soul live on once it leaves the physical body? Does consciousness continue? The second film, Beyond the Physical is meant to pick up where The Afterlife left off and begin to explore the non-physical realms in which the human soul can tap into at any given point. The scope of BTP, is a lot larger than we had originally anticipated. Our original outline of the film was all over the place and would have been very confusing to the viewer. After re-editing the film 3 times we were finally able to narrow our focus to the key subject matter of going 'Beyond the Physical'", explains Habernig.
The Path: Beyond the Physical will also have an added bonus of footage that wasn't able to make it in the film but is important enough to still be viewed. "Back in 2009, we had taken quite a few pre-orders for Beyond the Physical. Those customers who pre-ordered back then will receive this bonus footage complimentary in appreciation for their patience with the release of this film. We will open up preorders again in early 2013", explains Hannah.
"It's been a challenge for us both mentally and professionally to have to had moved our release date. We get emails from our fans every day wondering when the film will be released. It's great to have so much interest and enthusiasm from our viewers", says Hannah.
Much of the second film was shot on location in Faber, Va., at the site of the Monroe Institute, an experiential retreat center founded in 1974 by groundbreaking author Robert Monroe, a pioneer in the investigation of out-of-body experiences. All of the Path Documentary DVD Series will be showcasing the knowledge and opinions of many experts like the former President and Executive Director of the Monroe Institute in Faber, VA, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) educational and research organization dedicated to the exploration of human consciousness, which is internationally known for its work with audio sound patterns that can have dramatic effects on states of consciousness, along with leading out-of-body expert William Buhlman and nuclear physicist, noted lecturer and explorer of consciousness Thomas Campbell, from Huntsville Alabama. Many of the experts have extensive training and knowledge in remote viewing and out-of-body traveling. There are other experts not featured in The Path: Afterlife who were filmed during the making of the first film and will add a new perspective due to their expertise and study of metaphysics in Beyond the Physical.
The Path: Beyond the Physical is scheduled to be released February 11, 2013 and will be available from select retailers, catalog companies and directly from www.thepathseries.com.
About: Path11 Productions LLC, an independent production company located in Greene and Ulster County, NY which will be filming documentaries and dedicating all projects to consciousness and healing. Path11 Productions LLC was formed in 2008 and has been selling The Path: Afterlife documentary both nationally and internationally since its release in 2008. Path11 Productions LLC has a vision to impact the world with a documentary series on consciousness, finding the soul's purpose and healing.

The Owls (4-2) strung together three base hits to plate a first inning run against Monmouth's starter T.J. Hunt (Wyckoff, N.J./Ramapo). Tyler Rocklein connected on an RBI single and Levi Meyer plated a run on a fielder's choice in the third which pushed FAU's lead to 3-0. The Owls registered their final run on Brendon Sanger's infield singer, bringing in Abraham who reached via a walk to lead off the frame, with Frank Trimarco (Merrick, N.Y./Sanford H. Calhoun) on for the Blue and White in relief.
Monmouth threatened in the seventh when Jon Guida (Martinsville, N.J./Bridgewater Raritan) reached on a fielding error and moved to third on Avella's double to right. FAU's starter Jeremy Strawn forced Hughes to fly out, pinch-hitter Chris Gaetano (Madison Township, Pa./Scranton Preparatory) to strike out swinging and Robbie Alessandrine (Sewell, N.J./Gloucester Catholic) to ground out to get out of his final inning unscathed.
Hunt suffered the loss for the Hawks, allowing three runs on five hits in three innings of work. Trimarco hurled three innings of relief, yielding a run on a two hits and a pair of walks. Stephen Frey (Washingtonville, N.Y./Washingtonville) and Adam Yunginger (Lancaster, Pa./Manheim Township) combined to work two innings out of the Hawks' pen, allowing two base runners via a hit and a free pass.
The Hawks scattered five hits off Strawn, who picked up his second win of the year after working seven scoreless innings.
Monmouth and FAU will meet tomorrow in the rubber match of the three-game set. First pitch is slated for 1 p.m.

Its scope is not as wide as Carlisle Productions' own Spring and Fall meets, which are literally open to everything automotive, but this show draws in nearly every make of automobile ever imported here, as well as kit cars and replicas. When cars like Saab and Peugeot turn out in high numbers, you know you're be in for an interesting show. Carlisle is a small town nestled in the heart of Pennsylvania. Home to the U.S. Military's Carlisle War College and Dickinson University, car enthusiasts know it for the well-groomed Carlisle Fairgrounds that will host no fewer than 13 events this season. The sprawling Carlisle Fairgrounds is always good for an equally wide array of activities. The non-judged show field is the keystone of the event, and it's surrounded by a large vendor area, used car corral, new car dealer area, kit-car exhibition halls, seminars, and more. Camping on the field is even an option for those who may want to stay more than an afternoon; the show goes for three days, and while some camp merely to avoid the steeper hotel rates, others perhaps may simply enjoy the generous indulgence of beverages that are best not followed by a drive home. Just as this event is so unique in its scope, it is also unique in the crowd it attracts. You won't see much of the burnout-inducing compact crowd at Carlisle, nor the stuffy atmosphere of a Concours d'Elegance. Rather, it's a broad grouping of earnest car enthusiasts coming out of the shadows to share their love for what are often small niches in the automotive world. Since Carlisle split out their now defunct Compact Car Power Jam, the presence of Volkswagen-owners has waned. Through the slow years, a select group of VW enthusiasts and the always present LIMBO club members have stayed loyal, but the time is ripe for a re-emergence of VWs at Carlisle and nobody knows that better than Carlisle Productions. This year the show spotlight was on Volkswagen. Carlisle's invitation-only exhibit hall featured several shining examples of Herbie the Love-Bug, a clean early Scirocco, a Bus and several more. The show field was peppered with a range of newer VWs, including some heavily modified cars showing that VW could be on a resurgence at Carlisle. Up until several years ago, Audiphiles never really knew what they might find at Carlisle. The showing of cars from Ingolstadt was spotty, until more recently when some particularly enthusiastic B2 car owners decided to make Carlisle "their meet." First came the 4000s, Coupe GTs and UrQuattros in numbers. Then following that group, the Audi Club of North America helped bolster the event through their own involvement. Finally, last year some DKW and NSU owners made Carlisle their national event. All of these spirited groups helped make the 2006 attendance stronger than ever. Those B2 owners, the Audi Club of North America and even some DKW and NSU owners made up the majority of the Audi field. More new models were on display this year too, from the latest B7 A4 to D3 A8s, several S4s and more. If you glanced at the Audi field, you might have been surprised to see what looked like one of the Auto Union Silver Arrows. Was that a Type D hillclimb car? No, but you had to hand it to the owner for trying. While this wasn't quite a Crosthwaite & Gardiner replica as Audi has made of several of the legendary racers, this was an impressive likeness based on a 1963 Auto Union 1000S. Obviously eclectic, the Carlisle Import Kit/Replica Nationals is one event that's always a pleasure to add to the calendar. Though the attendees are as varied as the cars themselves, a great enthusiasm for cars and a general intention to party is more than enough parallel to draw commonality between those who venture to Central Pennsylvania for the event. See you next year.

OXO Good Grip Smooth Edge Can Opener
Let's face it, when kitchen gadgets let us down, it's hugely stressful (and it always happens at the worst possible time). We've researched all the leading can openers and, while the OXO Smooth Edge Can Opener doesn't come with a lifetime guarantee, we're extremely impressed by its glowing reviews, especially with reference to its durability, which is why we're willing to award it best in show.
Unlike other can openers, the OXO cuts from the side, which means it never comes in contact with the contents of the can. This eliminates cross contamination and also reduces the likelihood of rust in the long run. Our favorite feature is the ability to put the lid back on the can when you're done, which means you don't have to worry about throwing away leftovers or dirtying another container!
Other features include:
- No sharp edges left on can or lid
- Easy-to-turn side-wind grip
- Durable stainless steel cutting wheel does not touch can contents and stays clean
- Soft, non-slip handles and easy turning knob,Packaged weight : 0.65 lbs
- Lid pliers for no-touch lid removal

President may be born again, but he is no bigot

There's not much talk about the rights and wrongs of gay marriage in Dupont Circle, an inner city suburb of Washington, which not too many years ago was a rundown no-go zone for the capital's white middle-class.
But the three-storey old row houses have been tarted up and couples walk hand-in-hand from the upmarket food shops along the clean-swept streets.
Mostly they are same-sex couples. Dupont Circle is now the gay centre of Washington, with its many bookshops, bars and restaurants places where heterosexual couples are the exception rather than the rule.
Here there is more talk about real estate prices than about the campaign by Christian conservatives for a constitutional amendment that would outlaw gay marriage.
For that sort of talk, you have to travel a couple of kilometres to the offices of the Family Research Council, the headquarters of the Arlington Group, which represents 26 conservative organisations across America dedicated to the fight against gay marriage.
From here, Arlington Group organisers collect petitions, organise email and phone campaigns, sign up volunteers and lobby Congress for their cause. These are the people who turned out the evangelical vote that gave George Bush his victory last November.
They have the active support of key Republicans in the Senate, and also have the nominal support of Mr Bush, who during last year's presidential campaign promised that he would promote a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.
The anti-gay marriage campaign has become the evangelical movement's touchstone issue, a campaign that embodies all they stand for - the triumph of traditional Bible-based values over godless secularism.
It is not just that they believe that marriage must involve a man and woman. They believe that homosexuality is an illness - a lifestyle choice that is spreading because gay activists are selling it to school children.
Dupont Circle is not America and it is doubtful that many of its residents are Republicans. But the question is: where would a significant number of Bush Administration officials and senior members of the Republican Party feel most at home - in Dupont Circle or in the foyer of the Family Research Council, festooned as it is with photographs and exhibits celebrating traditional marriage?
For that matter, where would George Bush feel most at home?
There are gays at senior levels of the Republican Party and in the Administration, and there are people such as the Vice-President, Dick Cheney, whose daughter is gay. There is no way Mr Cheney believes homosexuality is an illness in need of a cure.
Mr Bush, for all his born-again credentials, is not a social conservative fundamentalist.
Even his fiercest opponents accept that the President has never exhibited the slightest tendency towards bigotry - against blacks, women or gays. Neither has Mr Cheney or the Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, or Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice. These senior officials would feel about as uncomfortable at the Family Research Council as many of the residents of Dupont Circle.
It is questionable whether the social conservatives wonder if Mr Bush is really on their side.
It is one of the greatest achievements of Mr Bush's closest political adviser, Karl Rove, that he has managed to balance how the social conservatives who make up the Republican base see Mr Bush, and the President, who believes the anti-gay constitutional amendment is a sideshow that has no chance of ever being passed by Congress.

Bryant settles with accuser in assault case
Page Tools
Kobe Bryant and the 20-year-old woman who accused him of rape nearly two years ago have settled her civil lawsuit against him.
Terms of the settlement, which was agreed on Wednesday, were not released.
A statement by Bryant's lawyers said only that the matter had been resolved "to the satisfaction of both parties".
"The parties and their attorneys have agreed that no further comments about the matter can or will be made," the statement said. A motion to dismiss the case was filed simultaneously in Denver federal court.
A Los Angeles Lakers spokesman said Bryant, 27, declined to comment on the settlement.
The lawsuit, filed three weeks before the criminal case against Bryant collapsed last year, sought unspecified damages for mental injuries, public scorn and humiliation the woman said she suffered since their June 2003 encounter at the Vail-area hotel where she worked.
Bryant, a married father of one, who has never been questioned under oath about what happened in his hotel room, has apologised for his "behaviour that night and for the consequences she has suffered", but insisted the sex was consensual.

The Suzuki Swift, New Zealand's top-selling hatchback for seven years, is spawning spin-off concept and production variants.
Both the Ertiga compAct MPV and XA Alpha concept SUV models are developments of the Swift.
They were among several new Suzuki developments attracting attention at the New Delhi Auto Expo.
The models are being showcased by Suzuki Motor Corporation's Indian automobile subsidiary, Maruti Suzuki.
Based on an extended Swift platform, the five-door Ertiga is scheduled to go into production later this year in India.
The Ertiga is 175mm taller than the Swift, with a 175mm increase in wheelbase plus an overall length to 4265mm, creating a seven-seater with a two-three-two seating arrangement.
Suzuki will offer the Ertiga in India with the choice of the same 1.4-litre K14B twin overhead camshaft engine used in the current Swift and a 1.3-litre DDiS turbo diesel.
The "R" in the car's name represents "Row", while "TIGA" implies the digit "3" in the Indonesian language, meaning a three-row car.
Suzuki believes Ertiga redefines space utilisation in the compact class, and though it will be built initially for the Indian market, it may be eventually exported to New Zealand.
The XA Alpha, with its "fighter jet" canopy-like window line, will be assessed before Suzuki makes a decision on its production future.
Sharing some styling pointers from the Range Rover Evoque - which is the same height - the XA is 4000mm long and fits between the smaller Suzuki Jimny and larger Grand Vitara. The 2500mm wheelbase is slightly more than a production Swift, and 250mm greater than a Jimny.
The five-door body features a high "five block" grille and hawk-eyed headlights, flared guards with extenders and under-body protection, pillarless side windows, heavy-duty bumpers, and short front and rear overhangs.
Four-wheel-drive off-road capability is claimed to be excellent, and the XA, which took nine months from paper sketch to concept reality, may also be offered in two-wheel-drive, front-wheel-drive form.
XA can be powered by a range of Suzuki K-Series petrol engines or a 1.3-litre diesel alternative.
Though it is just a design study at this stage, it could go into production as an all-new model for Maruti, selling to India's burgeoning middle class.
Suzuki said the company would try to get the XA to look as close as possible to the concept model.
As for the name, the "X" denotes the crossover category and the "A" represents the first step for customers wishing to enter the SUV segment.

Japan Wants Free Trade. Its Farmers Don't
The U.S. and Japanese governments want it. Mitsubishi backs it. Toyota Motor says it can't compete without it. Yet whether Japan joins the biggest attempt at a free-trade pact may hinge on farmers like Tadashi Hirose. Hirose loses money on his 14 hectares (35 acres) of paddies in southwest Hokkaido, forcing him to take a second job at a construction company. Still, he says, if Japan joins the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact, or TPP, the resulting competition from abroad would destroy his family's livelihood and economically devastate Hokkaido, the top rice-producing region.
Pacific Rim nations including the U.S., Canada, Singapore, and Mexico have been negotiating for years to come up with a trade treaty that would radically reduce tariffs and other trade barriers throughout the region. Japan has announced its desire to join the talks, but has yet to do so. One reason is the ferocious opposition of the farm lobby, which benefits from tariffs on imported rice of 341 yen ($4.35) per kilogram. Under the TPP agreement as it is envisioned, those tariffs would disappear. Japan's farms, often only an acre or two in size, would then be overwhelmed by the super-efficient, large-scale agribusinesses of the U.S., New Zealand, Australia, and Canada.
The number of Japanese farmers, full-time and part-time, is 2.5 million—pretty large for a country that is not a major exporter of farm products. Their contribution to Japan's $5.9 trillion gross domestic product is tiny. Yet the farmers wield disproportionate clout in Japanese politics. "Because of the rural bias in Japan's electoral system the farming lobby is very powerful, even though as a percentage of the economy it accounts for 1 percent," says Risaburo Nezu, a former trade negotiator for Japan's government and now a senior executive fellow at the Fujitsu Research Institute.
The power behind the farmers is an agricultural cooperative called JA Group. JA dominates corn and rice trading, and runs a bank that holds $532 billion in customer deposits—almost matching Barclays' $568 billion. The cooperative has about 10 million members, roughly 8 percent of Japan's population.
Located just across a side street from each other in downtown Tokyo, the headquarters of JA and Keidanren—the country's biggest business group—are a world apart when it comes to TPP. While Keidanren backs exporters who say that Japan needs accords like the TPP, JA Group says the accord will kill domestic agriculture. According to the calculations of JA's Norinchukin Research Institute, once Australia, the U.S., and New Zealand gain better access to Japan, more than 25 percent of local rice output will cease. Import tariffs at present protect $48 billion in Japanese agricultural produce. If those tariffs disappeared, 99 percent of wheat, almost all sugar, and most beef production in Japan would stop being competitive, says Tetsuro Shimizu, Norinchukin's joint general manager.
Rice farmer Hirose has his own set of numbers. It costs about 70 yen to produce a kilogram of milk in his hometown of Biratori, while New Zealand does it for 20 yen, he tells neighboring farmers during a break from work. "When I go with my wife to the supermarket I see that foreign meat sells very well," chimes in Hirose's neighbor Yuichi Marubashi, a 51-year-old breeder of wagyu cattle. "The problem is, everyone wants to buy cheap," he says in between sips of canned coffee.
If Japan cuts import tariffs on food for all foreign farmers, its reliance on agricultural products from abroad will rise to 90 percent from about 60 percent, the agriculture ministry estimates. That's a price too high for Japan to pay, says JA Senior Executive Director Shigeo Fuji. "The way Toyota became a model company was via kaizen," Fuji says, referring to the mantra of constant improvement popularized by Asia's biggest automaker. "They used leadership and engineering. It had nothing to do with accords like TPP. Why do they need it now?" What's more, according to Fuji, Japan's narrow islands are no match for the broad Australian and U.S. plains.
JA's large membership adds influence to the rural vote, which is harnessed mainly through the Liberal Democratic Party that ruled Japan for almost 55 years until 2009. "They call it the iron triangle: JA, the LDP, and the agriculture ministry," says Tokyo University professor Masayoshi Honma. He says reform is tough because JA, the bureaucrats, and rural politicians want to maintain their power above all else. "We can't even force JA to get an outside auditor," he says. "That would be a critical step" in assessing the real profits and losses of Japan's agricultural system.
What Japan's agricultural policy has done so far is simply protect farmers, and that has weakened their competitiveness, says Tetsuhide Mikamo, the director of research at Marubeni, Japan's biggest trading house in agricultural products. If agro-companies consolidated the single-hectare rice paddies that most farmers have into larger fields, the cost to produce a 60 kilogram bag would drop 30 percent, according to Marubeni research.
To JA's Fuji and Norinchukin's Shimizu, such calculations are nonsense. "About 20 to 30 hectares is about as big as you can get in Japan before you hit a mountain," Fuji says "The Japanese politicians who push for TPP, they don't understand agriculture," adds Shimizu.

As reported by Tallahassee Democrat and Sunshine State News, after voicing her support for large federal programs, Solis warned, "I'll be darned if I'm going to set that aside now because a few teabaggers want to somehow muzzle my voice," Solis said. "We don't have to sit back and allow a minority in the Congress, known as the tea party, to dominate the discussion in our households." …
The comments coming from the head of the Labor Department are striking because of the recent attacks from heads of unions on the Tea Party—this despite the fact that many union members are also members of the Tea Party.
While opening for President Obama at a Labor Day rally, Teamsters President James P. Hoffa declared war on the movement. The union head said that the Tea Party has "got a war, they got a war with us and . . . we're going to win that war." He added, "President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let's take these son [sic] of bitches out and give [sic] America back to an America where we belong."

Flooding, Clean-Up Efforts Spread Invasive Plants
10/03/11 7:34AM By Melody Bodette
| Download MP3
(Host) Tropical Storm Irene's floods moved a lot of soil. And now heavy machinery used in reconstruction has done the same thing.
And as VPR's Melody Bodette reports, that could cause big problems for farmland because there are invasive plants in the soil.
(Host) Small Step Farm in Waitsfield is nestled in a curve in the Mad River.
At the height of the storm, water flowed 8 feet deep on the property, knocking out Jillian Abraham's 3 acres of vegetables and bringing 2 feet of silt and sand into her greenhouses.
(Abraham) "You can see some cabbage sticking up over there."
(Bodette) Abraham lost $46,000 in equipment. And $25,000 in vegetables were swept away or had to be destroyed because they touched floodwater.
After volunteers helped clean up, and heavy equipment started leveling the land, Abraham noticed another problem.
(Abraham) "I was in the shed over there raking out gravel, and I was like, 'What is all of that sprouting in the field?' And then I was like, 'Oh, wow.' And it was just a teeny, tiny, one-inch pieces and now it's grown to like a foot with all the sun and rain we've been having. So I have to do something pretty fast."
(Bodette) The red and green leaves are sprouting up everywhere, even in the greenhouses. Abraham recognized the plant immediately by its heart-shaped leaves. Japanese Knotweed is a fast-growing invasive plant:
(Abraham) "Normally it's along the river banks. It's everywhere. And so for the past day, I've been researching knotweed and what you can do at a young growth."
(Bodette) The plant is not poisonous, and tastes a bit like rhubarb:
(Abraham) "I've made a knotweed pie before."
(Bodette) But there's no demand for it. And Abraham says it crowds out vegetables that customers do want:
(Abraham) "I couldn't imagine trying to grow salad mix when I have knotweed pulling up. Even if you cut it, it's going to re-grow."
(Bodette) It's hard to get rid of knotweed. Just a small piece of the plant will sprout new growth that grows up to 5 feet tall. And it quickly colonizes newly disturbed soil.
Even if herbicides are sprayed, it can take a year to kill the plant. And while Small Step is not certified organic, Abraham says the restaurants and stores that are the farm's customers don't want chemicals.
(Abraham) "I sell at organic prices, and my practices are organic."
(Bodette) Abraham doesn't know if the knotweed was spread by the water or heavy machinery that was on the property. Abraham leases the land and is weighing whether, after the financial losses and now the knotweed, it makes sense to continue farming this land:
(Abraham) "I was told to walk away, just walk away basically from that property for vegetable farming. It's just the reality, can we really handpick every single one of these pieces out? Even if we did it five times."
(Bodette) But she's going to try to dig the knotweed and hopes to be farming again next year.
(UVM students) "So anyone recognize this plant?"
(Bodette) At the University of Vermont's Centennial Woods, Sharon Plumb of the Nature Conservancy is working with students to map invasive plants.
Plumb says Small Step Farm is just one of the stories she's heard about invasive plants popping up since the storm. Another was at a natural area in Richmond:
(Plumb) "This area that we're trying to restore, there's a lot of knotweed, and there are chunks of the buffer of that river that are just gone. So there are populations of knotweed that are smaller now, because the soil and the knotweed moved downstream. But it's going to end up somewhere."
(Bodette) Plumb says landowners, especially farmers should be careful when bringing fill onto their property:
(Plumb) "Irene moved a massive amount of material naturally. And now you have a lot of construction type work right now where people are bringing fill in. And there's zero check to see that that fill is clean. I often see new populations of knotweed next to new culverts."
(Bodette) And knotweed and other invasive such as garlic mustard can take over riverbanks, creating poor habitat. And they can cause more erosion because they don't hold river banks as well as native plants.
For VPR News, I'm Melody Bodette.

For the tour to Zion Geoff dropped us at the Navajo tour center in page where they would run the tour out onto the reservation to Antelope Canyon. We were joined by a few others in an open backed pickup and we made our way to the canyon. After ten minutes of driving on the highway we endured a short bumpy section of off roading before reaching the mouth of the canyon. Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon, its very small, only about enough to walk through in places and it is cut through the sandstone by flood waters. The walls looked carefully carved and the smooth contours wrap around each other as they go deeper into the canyon and up towards the top where you can see the light cutting in. The light reflects around the canyon highlighting and refracting different colours and showing off the textures of the walls and the effect is really spectacular
Heading North West into Utah we pass the Grand Starcase which is a vast area of stepped land with the grand canyon at the bottom leading up to Bryce Canyon towards the top.
After several hours of driving we are approaching Bryce through Red Canyon. The road weaves through a small but stunning canyon with rugged red rocks and columns lining it sides. Geoff tells us we will stop for some photos on the return journey.
We arrive at Bryce a short time later just in time for our booked horseback ride. Along with Murray and Mary and quite a few others we are lined up and assigned horses. Van gets Little Buck and I get Red River. We are led out to our horses and wait for the group to be led out of the coral. With a guide at the front and back of the column we ride out into some of the forest on the way towards the canyon edge. We have been asked not to let our horses eat the grass on the trek as it makes them sick. It seems however that this is all that Little Buck is interested in doing. After about 45 minutes we reached the canyon edge and are treated to a glimpse of Bryce Canyon, its not on the same scale as the grand canyon but can easily be considered more scenic
After picking up our free photos and learning how to walk again we head back to the tour bus and head on to get a better look at Bryce. Bryce Canyon is truly spectacular, its like a miniature monument valley squeezed into a canyon. It's full of small rocky towers and eroding rock formations and the colours range from a golden yellow to a deep red. After spending some time taking photos of the awesome views we head onwards towards Las Vegas via our final stop at Zion.
We arrive at Zion totally exhausted thinking that we have now seen it all. But Zion catches you by surprise. Just when you think you have seen it all it throws something new at you
With no stops and now travelling on the freeway we make good time towards Las Vegas. The darkness falls as we head through the canyon from Utah into Arizona and finally into Nevada. An hour later we begin to descend towards Las Vegas and the city appears below us like a sparkling lake of gold in the desert, its another incredible site for tired eyes as we return to civilisation. Geoff drops off Murray and Mary at Mandalay Bay and makes one quick stop for us at the Las Vegas sign for a photo before dropping us back to the MGM Grand. We head back to the room and collapse after an exhausting few days.

We should quickly say here that the Sky HD box performed more or less flawlessly with 3D content throughout our 2-week period. It recorded fine, it played back fine, and there were no issues with sound sync or other glitches. We guess this is as you'd expect given that Sky's 3D images are essentially just another HD video stream, but it's a relief nonetheless.
Things are much less straightforward when it comes to TVs, though. For if our two weeks of watching 3D as much as possible have taught us anything, it's to hate crosstalk (double ghosting) noise even more than we did before. And crosstalk issues vary massively between different brands and type of TV.
During our tests we moved between five different 3D TVs: Samsung's 65in UE65C8000, Panasonic's 65in P65VT20, Panasonic's 42in P42GT20, LG's 47in 47LD950, and Sharp's 60in LC60LE925E. And our enjoyment of the Sky 3D experience differed massively between each screen, with crosstalk being the most distinguishing factor.
Three TVs suffered very rarely with crosstalk: the two Panasonic's and LG's 47LD950. But our Samsung and Sharp models suffered with it quite noticeably. And for this reason alone, Sky's 3D coverage was much more watchable (especially in the long term) and enjoyable on the crosstalk-free sets.
Crosstalk reduces image clarity, distracts you from what you're watching, reduces the sense of depth, and worst of all quickly makes you feel fatigued as your eyes constantly try to compensate for the ghosting issue.
The most natural Sky 3D picture actually came from LG's 47LD950. This might seem surprising given that the LG uses LCD technology while we've consistently found that plasma handles crosstalk better. But crucially the 47LD950 is the only current 3D TV that uses 'passive' side by side 3D tech, complete with cheapo, non-active-shutter glasses, rather than the alternate frame approach used elsewhere.
The 47LD950's technology thus fits more comfortably with Sky's side by side broadcast system, resulting in a very natural Sky 3D picture. The catch is that the LG's performance falls down badly while watching full HD 3D Blu-rays, robbing them of resolution and struggling to define depth effectively.
We should finally say in defence of the Samsung and Sharp LCD (with LED lighting) screens that they deliver the goods with Sky's broadcasts when it comes to brightness, detail (when crosstalk isn't too pervasive) and colour vibrancy. But we find it hard to believe that anyone who watches 3D for any length of time will not find as we do that crosstalk is the only thing that really matters right now.

The commemoration of the MamaYe Day 2017 focused on the effect that the continued paltry budget allocation to health has on maternal and newborn health care services.
We are challenging widespread fatalism about the inevitability of death in childbirth. We provide evidence on solutions that work, and actions that any Nigerian can take to ensure that mothers and babies survive childbirth.
We work closely with the Ministry of Health in Ethiopia to improve maternal death reviews across the country, and thereby improve the quality of maternal and newborn care.
We use evidence, information and communication to engage with Ghanaians, so they can take action that will improve maternal and newborn healthcare. We showcase solutions and success, and celebrate heroes and heroines that save lives.
Knowing that safe clinics save the lives of mothers and newborns, we inform and help communities assess their local clinic, to check it is stocked with commodities, water, electricity and trained health workers.
We work to understand the reasons why mothers & babies die in Tanzania – to improve survival chances in the future. We encourage Tanzanians to take action, by e.g. "donating blood to save a Mama."
We know that "if it's not counted, it doesn't count" and so work with community leaders to count all maternal and newborn deaths. We celebrate unseen Malawian champions, who give their all, to save lives.

McCourt found that Apple is losing a little bit of momentum, while Samsung is picking up steam. Nearly every question related to the Apple iPhone produced weaker responses in December than in September or June. But responses to the Apple iPad showed "no signs of competitors impacting Apple's hold on the tablet market." The study found that the Apple iPad remains the dominant name in the tablet market with 58% of those looking to buy a tablet, stating their preference for an iPad. Twice as many of those plan on purchasing the Apple iPad mini instead of the full-sized version of the tablet.
Despite the drop off in momentum for the model, a whopping 86% of Apple iPhone users plan on sticking with the device when they buy their next phone, which is higher than the 75% figure for Android. On the other hand, fewer Android users say that they will switch to iOS. 3.5% said they plan on buying a Nokia Lumia model, up from the 1.8% found in September's survey. While the analyst said that this figure was too low to call the readings an "uptrend," he did note that those saying that they would switch to a Nokia Lumia model were all currently using an Android powered phone.
plan on leaving the platform and those leaving are evenly split between iOS and Android. The remaining 33% will be the ones that RIM will have to impress at first with BlackBerry 10.
The bottom line, says the analyst, is that the Apple/Samsung duopoly continues to have a stranglehold of the U.S. mobile market. Anyone shocked to hear that?

The Basketball Diaries Author Jim Carroll Dies
Jim Carroll, punk-rock poet and musician who is also well-known for his biography of his wild and drug filled teen years, The Basketball Diaries, died on Friday of a heart attack. He was 60 years old.
Carroll's poetry was praised by icons of the Beat Generation including Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg.
There will always be a poem
I will climb on top of it and come
In and out of time,
Cocking my head to the side slightly,
As I finish shaking, melting then
Into its body, its soft skin
–Jim Carroll, "Poem"
from Void of Course (1998)

The Massachusetts Poetry Festival takes over PEM this weekend and I'm particularly excited about the workshops which explore the intersection of art and poetry. In one, the artist Yetti Frenkel displays her process for making mosaics to illustrate poetry, and then she asks participants to make your own colorful artwork. The other has participants create art from lines of poetry. Both these programs offer poets and artists the opportunity to experience a hybrid art and poetry exchange.
Though they are lumped together as arts, writing poetry and being a visual artist seems to require very different ways of thinking. That's why both workshops will stretch the imaginative abilities of both poets and artists. I'm ready for the stretch.
I have a friend, Teri Malo, who is a visual artist. But she also writes poetry. Her recent Newbury Street show featured paintings of ponds with the focus on water as it reflects the flora on shore as well as elements in and of the water such as light, ripples, half submerged leaves, duckweed, marsh grass, sediment, etc. If you look at her work one moment it seems to be an example of almost photographic realism but the next moment you're lost in the layers within that water, and you are seeing a deeply abstract work. In other words, her paintings are incredibly complex.
You would never describe her poems as simple, but, first of all, I seldom remember seeing one about nature, which is always the subject of her paintings. Her poems tend to be short, often philosophical but usually with a light or ironic touch. It's hard to imagine that the ponds and the poetry come from the same mind, but I've heard she's not unique. I recently talked to another poet who is taking painting classes. She found it hard to express how the process of creation in both is different, but she swears it is.
Watching both my friends, I think trying my hand at something visual might be just the zing I need for my imagination. When I think about it, poets often take visual art as their subject. I'm sure you recognize these lines from John Keats's Ode on a Grecian Urn:
"Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter."
But did you know they are from an ephrastic poem –- a work that describes another art form? There's a relief on the Grecian urn that includes a rural scene and a young girl chased by a young man – or is he a god? Keats isn't sure. To enhance the revelry of the scene a youth is playing a pipe beneath a tree. In Keats's poem they are all forever young, always almost attaining their desires but forever in expectation, caught in a moment of eternal ecstasy. And the music is never there and never not there. Instead of the actual music, Keats prefers the "unheard melodies" that soar in his imagination.
Whoa! The artist is reveling in the celebration of an Arcadian village, and the poet sees how a moment is eternally preserved. Now those aren't diametrically opposite points-of-view, but they are really different.
Whether you are a poet or an artist, you might want to try the sister art and see what it does for your imagination. Which means you should come to the Massachusetts Poetry Festival!
Go here for a complete schedule and to PEM's site for a schedule of related family programming.
Jacquelyn Malone has been the recipient of a National Endowment of the Arts fellowship in poetry. She is the writer/editor for masspoetry.org.

The International and Area Studies Academic Program has provided information for students participating in the UC Education Abroad Program (UCEAP). Students participating on other study abroad programs should contact the department directly for more information.
Department Handouts: Study Abroad for Middle Eastern Studies Majors (PDF)
Study Abroad Questionnaire
- Is there a specific time frame in which students are required to declare a major in your department? If yes, when?
Yes. Beginning the third week of the fall and spring semesters and ending the last day of instruction. Students can declare in the summer, from approximately June through mid-August. Check with the department for exact dates. Students must declare at least one semester before graduation, but preferably as a second-semester sophomore.
- Does the undergraduate adviser sign the UCEAP academic planning form, or must a faculty adviser sign?
The undergraduate advising staff must sign these forms.
- Should students make an appointment to have their academic planning form signed in your
department? If so, do they need to bring a transcript or any other supplemental materials with them to
their appointment?
Monday - Friday 10:00 - 12:00, open advising hours (no appointment required)
Monday - Thursday 1:00 - 4:00, advising by appointment only (please make your appointment through your CalCentral account)
The advisors are in 101 Stephens.
Please note: There are no advising hours on Fridays during the Summer.
- What is the maximum amount of major credit given for courses taken during UCEAP? Is this maximum calculated by number of courses or by units of credit?
Students may fulfill up to 3 upper-division requirements with courses taken from outside the UC Berkeley College of Letters and Science. This includes courses taken abroad as well as courses taken at UC Berkeley in departments or schools that are not within L&S, such as the Goldman School of Public Policy or the Haas School of Business. Any courses taken to fulfill the PE language requirement are not included in the 3-course limit. Courses taken to fulfill an upper division major requirement must be a minimum of 3 UC Berkeley units and must be taken for a letter grade. In addition, students can apply as many language courses and lower division courses as they wish to the major.
- Are students in your department able to undertake a senior honors thesis the semester following UCEAP participation?
Yes. Students can write honors theses upon their return from EAP, provided that they still have time in their schedule to complete the two course honors sequence: MES 102 in Fall and MES H195 in Spring.
- Does your department calculate UCEAP grades into departmental GPA?
- Are UCEAP grades counted towards departmental honors?
- If you represent a department which teaches foreign language, does your department award major credit for the courses taken during the Intensive Language Program (ILP) portion of the UCEAP program?
We will award credit toward the foreign language requirement if the foreign language instruction is comparable to that received at Cal. Students will need to bring course materials, such as syllabi, reading lists and exams, and the IAS Study Abroad Course Approval Form to an MES adviser during drop in advising hours to have the course evaluated. Students may be referred to the department of Near Eastern Studies for language-course syllabus review if necessary.
- Does your department distribute a special information sheet for your majors which includes advice on how to articulate participation with UCEAP with the major?
Yes. Also, we have signature petition forms, which students use to get final approval for EAP classes.
- Does your department place Academic holds on declared majors prior to each registration period? If yes, what is your departmental policy on releasing advising holds for students currently abroad on UCEAP (e.g. is advising possible via email, skype, etc.)?
Yes, if a student studying abroad on UCEAP, they may coordinate with an advisor via email to release the hold.
Other comments:
Although IAS does not pre-approve EAP courses, we encourage all our majors to go abroad and are willing to work with students on their unique situations.

Women You Should Know®
An Editorial Site For & About Dynamic Women
You know those unique catch phrases your mom has been spouting since you were a kid? We're talking about her special expressions – touching advice, pearls of wisdom, signature witticisms, or wacky world insights – she's shared over the years that kept you entertained, made you feel loved or caused you to roll your eyes in utter embarrassment.
Well, award-winning author and Woman You Should Know Erin McHugh has written THE book on the subject, which goes on sale today. Like My Mother Always Said… Wise Words, Witty Warnings, and Odd Advice We Never Forget is packed with REAL "momisms" Erin gathered from all kinds of REAL "kids" – young and not so young, ordinary and famous.
The fruit of her labor is a relatable collection of hundreds of lovely, screwy, and laugh-out-loud-worthy things moms say to their kids with the noble goal of being helpful, nurturing, or wise (whether they succeed or not is another thing entirely, as the inside flap of the book jacket points out).
Offered up in quips, one-liners, and short anecdotes, the "momisms" are divided into chapters such as Questionable Wisdom ("May is a good month for a face lift"), Unconditional Love ("I'd saw off my own arm for you"), Good Manners & Bad Behavior ("You should eat like you're dining with the Queen of England"), and Wise Words ("If you have to tell someone you are, chances are you're not"). The Love, Sex, & Marriage chapter leads off with this little hilarious gem:
After putting this book together, and combing through the countless submissions she received, we wanted to know what Erin took away from it all. She told us, "The funny thing is, after talking to hundreds of men and women about their mothers, I found that moms are as different as they are the same. Whether it's funny stuff, sad stories, touching quotes, loving anecdotes — even though many of them were new to me, they all had that familiar ring of unconditional love."
We CANNOT think of a MORE perfect Mother's Day or any time gift for ALL the moms you know!
Erin McHugh is a former publishing executive and author of more than twenty books of trivia, history, children's stories, and more.
With a gentle nudge from serendipity's helping hand, the idea for her latest book came about in fall 2013, while Erin was on a book tour for her ONE GOOD DEED: 365 Days of Trying to Be Just a Little Bit Better. A friend innocently pointed out that Erin often muttered, "Like my mother always said…"
Her friend was not only right, she planted a seed. Erin and her publisher decided that a collection of "momisms" would make great fodder for a book. With that, Like My Mother Always Said… was born.
Sounds like it will be hilarious but also heart warming to read. Putting this one on my "to read" list.
I'm buying a copy. OMG, this looks awesome!!!!! Great gift, too!

The Tennessee Volunteers (21-7, 12-4 Southeastern Conference) were selected as a No. 2 seed in the Washington, D.C., region where they face the Winthrop Eagles of the Big South Conference in Greensboro, N.C., in the first round beginning Thursday, March 16. This is UT's 14th NCAA appearance and first since 2001. It is also their highest seed ever, bettering the No. 4 seed achieved three times, most recently in 2000 when the Vols advanced to the Sweet 16. The Vols own an 8-14 tournament record. Game time is at 2:40 p.m. ET on CBS.
Tennessee is 1-0 against Winthrop, having defeated the Eagles, 75-62, in 1997. Winthrop won both the regular season and Big South Conference tournament titles.
Also in UT's bracket is a possible second round matchup against the winner of the No. 7 seed Wichita State and No. 10 Seton Hall. The Vols last played Wichita State in 1990 in the Rainbow Classic, dropping a 77-73 decision. Tennessee is 2-1 against Seton Hall, having lost a 72-64 game in the 1992 Preseason NIT in the last meeting.
The Vols played nine teams in the field, going 6-5. They went 1-0 vs. Texas, South Alabama, Murray State, 2-0 vs. Florida, 1-1 vs. Kentucky, 0-1 against Memphis, Alabama, Arkansas and LSU.
UT played five regular-season conference champions, going 4-1. They were Lipscomb (Atlantic Sun), Texas (Big 12), Memphis (Conference USA), Murray State (Ohio Valley) while South Alabama captured the Sun Belt West Division.
Head coach Bruce Pearl is making his 12 NCAA Tournament appearance in 14 seasons and first with Tennessee. He owns a 2-2 record in the Division I Tournament, including a Sweet 16 apperance with Wisconsin-Milwaukee last year. He led the Vols to the SEC Eastern Division title this season.
Duke was selected as a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament for a record-tying 10th time Sunday, while Connecticut and Villanova led the Big East's unprecedented eight teams in the field with top seeds of their own.
Memphis was the final No. 1 chosen among tournament's 65 teams.
Duke's 10th No. 1 selection matched North Carolina for the most ever. It is Connecticut's fourth top seeding and the first time for both Villanova and Memphis.
Eight Big East teams broke the conference's own previous record of seven, which it had shared with the Big Ten. The Big East did it in 1991; the Big Ten in 1990, 1994, 1999 and 2001.
This year's bracket features six teams each from the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference. The Atlantic Coast, Big 12, Missouri Valley and Pac-10 each had four teams chosen.
Among the teams which had been mentioned as possible at-large teams but weren't selected were Cincinnati, Creighton, Florida State, Hofstra, Maryland, Michigan and Missouri State.
Duke (30-3), assigned to the Atlanta regional, will open the tournament Thursday near home in Greensboro, N.C., against Southern University. Also at Greensboro, eighth-seeded George Washington (26-2), the only Division I team with less than three losses, faces ninth-seeded North Carolina-Wilmington.
The other teams in that part of the bracket will play at Jacksonville, Fla., with fifth-seeded Syracuse, the upset winner of the Big East tournament, against 12th-seeded Texas A&M, and fourth-seeded LSU facing Iona.
Texas is the No. 2 seed in the Atlanta regional. The Longhorns, who lost to Kansas in the Big 12 tournament championship game Sunday, will play Pennsylvania in Dallas in a doubleheader with seventh-seeded California against 10th-seeded North Carolina State.
The other games in that regional are at Auburn Hills, Mich., with sixth-seeded West Virginia against No. 11 Southern Illinois and third-seeded Iowa, the Big Ten champions, against No. 14 Northwestern State.
Memphis (30-3), which lost just one game in Conference USA this season, heads the Oakland Regional and will play Oral Roberts, which was last in the tournament in 1984, at Dallas in the first round.
The other game in that doubleheader will have eighth-seeded Arkansas against No. 9 Bucknell, which had the upset of last year's tournament, beating Kansas in the first round.
At Auburn Hills, fourth-seeded Kansas will play Bradley, while fifth-seeded Pittsburgh faces No. 12 Kent State.
UCLA was the No. 2 seed in the regional and the Pac-10 champions will play Belmont, making its NCAA debut, at San Diego and seventh-seeded Marquette faces No. 10 Alabama.
At Salt Lake City, third-seeded Gonzaga goes against Atlantic-10 champion Xavier and sixth-seeded Indiana, playing under lame duck coach Mike Davis, plays San Diego State.
Connecticut, along with Duke the only teams to be ranked No. 1 this season, is the top seed in the Washington Regional. The Huskies (27-3), who were beaten by Syracuse in the Big East quarterfinals, will play Albany, which is making its first appearance, in Philadelphia. The other game in that doubleheader has eighth-seeded Kentucky against No. 9 UAB. Those teams met in the second round in 2004, with the Blazers stunning top-seeded Kentucky.
Washington, the fifth seed in the regional, plays Utah State in San Diego, while No. 4 Illinois, which lost in the championship game last season, faces No. 13 Air Force, one of the surprise at-large picks in the field.
Tennessee was the second seed and the Volunteers will play Winthrop in Greensboro, where No. 7 Wichita State will face 10th-seeded Seton Hall. At Dayton, defending champion North Carolina is the third seed against Murray State, while sixth-seeded Michigan State goes against George Mason, which will play the game without suspended guard Tony Skinn.
Villanova (24-4) is the top seed in the Minneapolis Regional. The Wildcats will open in their home city of Philadelphia against the winner of Tuesday night's opening-round game between Monmouth and Hampton. The other game in that doubleheader has eighth-seeded Arizona against No. 9 Wisconsin.
This will be the 27th tournament for Arizona coach Lute Olson, tying him with Dean Smith and Bob Knight for the most in NCAA history. It is Olson's 22nd straight appearance with Arizona, moving him within one of Smith's record set at North Carolina from 1975-97.
At Salt Lake City, fourth-seeded Boston College, which finished tied for second in its first season in the ACC, plays 13th-seeded Pacific and fifth-seeded Nevada faces No. 12 Montana.
Ohio State is the second seed and the Buckeyes play No. 15 Davisdon in Dayton and No. 7 Georgetown faces Northern Iowa. The doubleheader at Jacksonville has third-seeded Florida, which repeated as Southeastern Conference tournament champions on Sunday, against No. 14 South Alabama, and sixth-seeded Oklahoma against Wisconsin-Milwaukee, which reached the third round last season.
The Final Four is April 1 and 3 in Indianapolis.

Hada Labo's best-selling Hydrating Lotion (1 sold every 2s in Japan!) is reformulated and now comes in New Nano Formula!
For those who are unfamiliar with the term "lotion", it is also known as "toner" in Japan. According to Hada Labo, the Hydrating Lotion is a "toner" that prepares the skin for better absorption of other skin care products. It also helps make the skin smoother and more moisturized.
The reformulated Hydrating Lotion contains 3 types of hyaluronic acid [nano, super, normal] that deeply penetrate the skin (epidermis) to nourish and help restore skin's barrier to prevent moisture loss.
Apart from the new Nano Formula, everything else about it remains the same.
- Instantly hydrates skin and helps preserve its optimum moisture balance.
- Replenishes and locks-in moisture for complete hydration. Skin feels significantly soft and supple.
- Helps improve dry and dehydrated skin, leaving it silky smooth.
- It is free of fragrances, mineral oil, alcohol and colorant. Skin pH balanced. Low irritation.
Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, PPG-10 Methyl Glucose Ether, Methylparaben, Disodium Succinate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Succinic Acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate
The packaging remains the same, simple and fuss-free.
2 drops is what I need for the whole face. I gently pat the Hydrating Lotion onto skin until it is fully absorbed. Then, I apply serum and day/night cream thereafter.
The consistency of the new Hydrating Lotion, is lighter and feels slightly more watery. It absorbs within a min, so much faster than the old one. It does feel slightly sticky initially. I assure you that there is no sticky feel aftermath, an issue I had previously. My skin feels better moisturized (soft, smooth and supple), with the new Nano Formula. I'm definitely enjoying the boosted hydrating effect it has on my skin. So far, it does not irritate my skin.
I clearly prefer the new Hydrating Lotion. And, it has inevitably become a staple in my skincare routine. Grab yours at Watsons!

This being the final leg of this sailing season we need to ensure we have enough to see us through as there are not going to be many more provisioning opportunities in the next (less than) two weeks.

3:00 PM Detroit Film Theatre

Substituting for Leslie on Saturday will be Steve Stanchfield, Professor of Animation and Animation History at the College for Creative Studies.

Additionally, Steve will present a number of animated shorts and excerpts from his extensive collection of animated rarities. Admission for this talk will be free. Ticket holders for Leslie Iwerks' cancelled lecture may either hold on to their tickets for her rescheduled appearance next year, or obtain a refund.
Leslie Iwerks is an Oscar®-nominated director, as well as the granddaughter of the famed Disney designer of Mickey Mouse, Ub Iwerks. She will chronicle the evolution of animation from the 1920s when her grandfather worked with Walt Disney through the era of computer animation that has revolutionized Hollywood. Sponsored by the Friends of Detroit Film Theater.

Wrong is wrong
I read this article the other day about a prestigious college out east that caught a bunch students cheating on their exams and they now say they are being forced to establish some kind of official published moral code. Apparently they can't punish people for cheating, unless somewhere there is an official piece of paper that says, cheating is not allowed. That somehow in these students upbringing, plagiarizing or stealing was never discussed. Some of them went so far as to say they knew students who had cheated and got away with it, so they thought is was allowed.
That's the trouble with making rules in this country. They need to be written so that everyone, regardless of their ability, can understand them and then they need to be written so somebody's Philadelphia lawyer can't find a way around them. Yes there are lots of people out there who make a living trying to shed the laws that were made to keep our property and us safe.
Let me give you an example. I used to work for a metro park department. At the main gate to each park was a sign that said "NO MOTER VEHICLES ON PARK PROPERTY." A party was tagged for driving in the park and he got off free because he proved that the tractors that mowed the park had motors. At great expense to the city, the signs had to be changed to allow for city maintenance vehicles.
That's the world we live in folks. A world where people will go to great lengths and expense to make others miserable and no one is going to tell them what they can an cannot do and their lawyers are only to happy to accommodate them.

They deliver a deeply atmospheric and cinematic sound - Graham Baxter's soaring impressionistic vocals and crystalline acoustic guitars riding over Kosta Megalos' fuzzy autumnal chords, with crisp future-disco beats and studio sparkle courtesy of a trio of top-drawer co-producers - Ewan Pearson, Fred Everything and The Revenge.

California Will Have 25% of US PEV Sales from 2012-2020, New Report Finds
September 19th, 2012 by Adam Johnston
A new study from Colorado–based Pike Research suggests that close to one-quarter (25%) of US plug-in electric vehicles sold between 2012-2020 will come from California.
"PEV sales roughly correspond to population, but other factors, including demographics, socioeconomics, and public policy, have a strong influence as well," said Pike Research senior research analyst Dave Hurst.
"Florida, for example, the third largest market for PEVs, has 60 percent of the population of California, but by 2020 Florida will have only 25 percent the number of PEVs found in California," he said.
The analysis also noted Hawaii will have the highest penetration rate, thanks to shorter driving distances and higher gas prices.
Meanwhile, California will have four of the top ten US metropolitan areas in terms of PEV sales between 2012-2013. These areas include: Los Angeles/Long Beach area, San Francisco/Bay area, San José, Santa Clara region, and Sacramento, the report noted.
