It has the ability to reach speeds of 102mph, race around a 38 mile mountainous course and is powered by batteries which can be charged from a standard household socket. It's Kingston University's new, green motorbike. Designed by six final-year engineering students, the bike is set to make history by competing in the world's first zero-emissions Grand Prix this summer. The Kingston team will join 24 eco-bikes from America, India, Italy, Germany and Austria on the start line at the 2009 Isle of Man TTXGP.
Work on the bike began last October, under the guidance of course director for motorsport and motorcycle engineering Paul Brandon. The motorbike, which has gone through many designs, will run on non-fossil fuel but will still be able to clock-up an average 70 mph around the course. "Being green doesn't have to mean slow," Mr Brandon said. "There are too many sceptics when it comes to electric vehicles but we all need to reduce our CO2 output and this initiative is taking a huge leap in that direction. The ideas we and others put to the test on the racing circuit are the ones most likely to become commonplace on the road."
The bike is run from a custom-built, 72-volt battery and the team estimates it will reach speeds of 102 at the fastest downhill section of the 38 mile course. "The energy density of batteries is far less than that of petrol or diesel so how we manage the energy we carry is critical to our success in the race," Mr Brandon added. "The bike we have designed has a whole vehicle efficiency of 90 per cent, so we are only wasting 10 per cent of what we carry. By comparison a petrol-based vehicle wastes 70 per cent of the energy it carries."
Students studying on the motorcycle engineering design course have worked on the project since October last year and it will form part of their final assessment. Alex Jones-Dellaportas, 40, originally from Oldham, Lancashire, said: "The design has gone through many different stages. We've refined it at each step along the way to try to make it lighter and faster and the majority of the materials we have used have been recycled." Team mate Gonzalo Carrasco, 21, originally from near Madrid, in Spain, said: "It might look similar to a normal motorbike but it has no internal combustion engine, no exhaust system and no fuel tank. The overall CO2 usage, including the CO2 generated to charge the batteries, will be around 50 per cent less CO2 than a petrol or diesel-power bike. People need to realise that this technology is the future. By entering green races and building green designs we are hoping policy-makers will see the potential for this technology and start investing in it."
The competition takes place on June 12.

Dentist is notifying WDS/Delta
of resignation and
termination of
dentist/provider contract
Open letter to Washington Dental Service:
I hereby submit my resignation as a member dentist effective XXXX XX, 20xx.
Washington Dental Service was once the leader in dental prepayment promoting better dental health and relationships among patients, purchasers and dentists in a way that insured the best dental care could be offered to patients throughout the State of Washington. When WDS was created in 1954, it was the very first dental prepayment company anywhere. Who could have predicted the amazing access to care that this organization would have created for so many people over the next three or four decades.
That leadership role has been abdicated apparently in the desire for WDS to grow financially and to become a bigger player in the game or perhaps just to save its existence. It appears that WDS will sell any scheme to any purchaser in order to hang on to or grow its book of business and it is very apparent in our offices that the patients' and purchasers' premiums, however cheap or expensive they may be, buy them very little in the way of dental health. Annual maximums are so low that they go almost nowhere for the patient who needs significant dental care whether the need is brought on by accident, genetic predisposition, neglect or other cause. The plans we see from WDS continue to shock us in the ways they have been degraded from the standards we used to expect. They have become strikingly similar to competitors' schemes that member dentists, WDS board members and staff have always viewed as shoddy and uncaring about whether better dental health resulted from their activities.
The original relationship between providers and WDS utilizing a filed fee 90th percentile statistic was a stroke of genius on the part of WDS. This created a fee setting system that allowed the market place to function where each dentist could set his own fees within definable limits and simultaneously a check would be maintained against the inflationary influence of a third party pay system. A contract was forged between WDS and its providers under this system that was a hallmark of excellence and it worked well for decades.
Two years ago WDS unilaterally broke this contract with its member providers intimating that the fee freeze they put in place would be temporary. The following year WDS again abrogated its agreement freezing fees for a second time.
Now WDS is no longer satisfied with breaking the system and it now wants to lower all providers' fees approximately 15%. No longer is there relationship between WDS and its providers that can in any sense be referred to as "Premier" or any other term of excellence. The PPO fee discount system WDS fell for a decade ago where members could opt in or out is no longer optional. It is now the norm. WDS no longer has anything better than this fee discount system that enables it to scramble for premiums from purchasers but does little to promote in any positive way, good dental service delivery or better dental outcomes for the end beneficiaries, the patients. While it promises lower premiums to the purchaser and more patients to dentists who are WDS members, it certainly will not work for member dentists anymore because it creates a competition amongst all of them for the limited patient pool. Only some can win in this scheme. If almost all Washington State dentists are members (and they are), WDS cannot deliver on the promise that by agreeing to a 15% fee discount, members will all get a larger share of the patient flow and can somehow make up losses by delivering more services. It is an empty promise and will result in closure of dental offices and lowering of quality of services.
I believe that for the past ten to fifteen years dental prepayment is becoming increasingly less relevant. The benefits have continued to be watered down with such schemes as annual maximums, "duplication of benefit" limitations and other methods of reducing the coverage for services that the plans would appear to cover to the average patient reading the benefits booklets. WDS now promotes a system of plans that tend to create an expectation of coverage for the patient that is unrealistic. At time of service and sometimes not until time of denial of payment by WDS, the patient and the provider learn that the plan does not pay for the expectation of coverage created in the plan booklet. One of the insidious side effects of this practice of selling plans that do not deliver what they seem to promise is that the dentist can easily be portrayed as the bad guy, charging too much for services. WDS in the past offered few enough different plans to sell to purchasers and they were well enough known amongst members that it was not difficult to educate patients about coverages and limitations of their policies. Additionally, WDS plans were consistently higher quality, more transparent plans that delivered what was promised. Now it seems every policy is different and some are so poor that denials and limitations spring up like weeds.
In the current economic environment with costs of doing business increasing and destabilizing, it is totally illogical to believe that dental offices can continue to thrive or for many to even stay in business as members of WDS. It is a foregone conclusion that the quality of application pools at dental colleges would suffer under the terms WDS is offering and the best candidates will have strong incentives to look to other career paths.
While it saddens me to realize that WDS, a business and a concept that I supported heavily in the past has lost its way, we know that companies like WDS only have power over us if we let them. WDS was conceived of and created by dentists but it is no longer a company that many dentists would want to feel a part of. If most or all of the dentists were to resign their memberships, then WDS would have no power over any of them. It is an encouraging thought that if WDS wants to behave like just another dental "insurance" company, they can be treated like those other companies and no one has to remain a member. Count me out from now on.

What is the Hamilton Association?
The Hamilton Association is one of Canada's oldest independent, not-for-profit, cultural organizations. It has its origins in the Hamilton Scientific Association, founded in 1857, and counts among its founding members Dr. John Rae, Arctic explorer and physician, who served as the Association's first Vice-President and second President.
Many prominent Hamilton and area educational and cultural organizations had their beginnings in, or received early support and encouragement from, the Hamilton Association, including the Hamilton Public Library, the Art Gallery of Hamilton, the Royal Botanical Gardens, and McMaster University.
What does the Association do?
The Association's principal activity is the presentation each year of eight free public lectures which are open to anyone interested in attending. One of the public talks, named in recognition of Dr. John Rae, honours Rae's connection to the Canadian landscape by focussing on a topic related to the Canadian North or the spirit of exploration.
- Maitland Banting Silver Quill Award
- Hamilton Association Young Poet's Award
- da Vinci Science Fair Award
From time to time the Association sponsors a special event, tour or lecture in addition to its regular scheduled events. Such events will be posted on our Special Events page and announced at our talks.

I really thought this color was so pretty when I was ordering it. When I received it? It was not the color I thought it would be. Still okay because it's different, but was a lot dulled. I thought this color was going to be like a blue lagoon. More like a blue paint on a vehicle...4
Love this color, the bright blue adds a pop to everything. I also bought the grey which was good and sometimes when i'm lazy i just go over old polish. Both of these allowed me to do that. The grey however got considerably darker after extra coats. Would buy again!5
I got this polish in shimmer shell. It's a pretty, sheer nude with just the right amount of shimmer. It's a simple every-day color but the shimmer adds a little pop. :) As I said though, it is a sheer polish, so 2-3 coats will do the trick. It also goes on evenly and smooth. The cap feels a little weird to hold, but it's easy to get used to. Overall, this nail polish is easily one of my go-to's now.5

Caulking around kitchen sink
Okay, so we got the counter in last night, fixed the issues we had with that and then got the stainless steel kitchen sink in this morning. It's a fairly standard sink with the lip that sit on top of the counter. The problem, is that it doesn't fit perfectly snug to the countertop mostly I think because of the putty underneath. The putty was a grey colour and as a result, if you stand back, you can see grey and then gapping where the putty didn't come as forward as much as it did in other spots. My question is, should I use some latex caulk around the outside of the sink to deal with the gaps and if so, what colour should I use considering my countertop is black? If I use the black caulk, surely you will see it clearly on the stainless sink but, if I use the clear caulk, you wil still be able to see the gaps where the grey putty isn't as thick. Any suggestions???? Thanks!
First of all, you need to use kitchen and bathroom silicone. What you want to do is fill the void, not get caulk on the sink. I'd suggest applying a small bead, doing your best to get it in the gap. Don't worry about how it looks.
Next, use a wet finger to form the caulk. The majority of the caulk will end up on your finger, as it will actually take very little to fill the gap. Use wet rags to clean your finger off every few inches or so, and to keep your finger moist. Then use a moist sponge and a bucket of water to go over the whole thing a little bit at a time. Clean the sponge often. The sponge should remove all but the caulk that is in the void.
The lip of the kitchen sink should be relatively flat, as should be the counter top. I don't understand why the kitchen sink isn't sitting flat on top of the counter.
The putty you put under the lip of the sink is there to prevent water from leaking under that lip. The whole space under the lip of the sink should be full of putty. When you tightened the sink down, putty should have oozed out from under that lip.
Perhaps you simply need to use more clips on your sink to pull down the areas where the lip is sticking up high?
I agree with Nestor. There should be some kind of clips that pull the sink toward the counter. Typically SS sinks are only 20-18GA. I believe if you tightened the clips from underneath, the lip should pull tighter to the counter.
If not, maybe pull it back out, remove the putty and put a large bead of 100% silicone around the counter where the sink lip will go. Make sure you install the sink quickly afterwards. Don't let the caulk start to skin over. Now when you tighten the sink back down, some of the silicone may ooze out, just use KCs advice for dealing with the excess. Watch for excess oozing from the inside too. It may drip to the base of the cabinet.
It's an ikea sink that came with this grey putty stuff that rolls out like tape. It's very stretchy and thick. It's not as squishy as the regular putty. The sink fit tight to the counter before we applied it so it's obviously the cause. We're going to pull the sink up again and put either the plummer putty on or the silicone stuff. Which do you think is better? We had a lot of trouble getting the excess silicone off the counter when we used it for the corner joint so I'm hesitant to use it again. If we use this stuff and wipe off the excess immediately, will it come off without any trouble? Also, once we finally get the sink to fit tightly, is it necessary to use the kitchen cault around the outside rim if there are no gaps?? Thanks again. Obviously, I have next to no experience with this kind of stuff but really want to learn. You're comments are super helpful.
While the sink is still in. Tape off the area right up to the sink with blue painters tape. If this putty your talking about is showing outside the rim of the sink scrape it off first so the tape bonds to the counter. Then remove the sink, remove the caulk tape and place a bead of kitchen bath silicone II (GE) around the counter right next to the cutout. A nice even 1/4" bead should suffice. Set the sink in place and tighten the clips under it. You can press down on the sink to help it seat while tightening the clips. Some sinks will have a slight curve and relying on the clips to pull it down may snap the clips off. So helping it down is better. Slight pressure is all thats needed. When the sink is set and clamped to its final position, remove the tape and you will have a minimum of cleanup. Do cleanup the caulk as explained above asap and make sure you get it all while it is still wet.
MinConst: I wouldn't mark the sink's location now since Deeaa probably didn't center the sink in the hole to begin with. If we mark the sink location now on the counter top, we're only going to succeed in getting it just as much out of whack on the next attempt. So, me thinks it would be best to center the sink first.
Here's what I'd do:
Get under that sink and remove the clips and disconnect the drain.
Pull the sink out and remove that stuff from Ikea from the sink and counter top. Clean both the underside of the sink rim and the perimeter of the counter top hole with paint thinner and dry with a paper towel (or whatever).
1. First, center the sink in the hole:
Drop the sink into the hole and move it North, South, East and West, and mark the furthest extent of the sink's travel in every direction with a piece of masking tape, felt pen, or whatever. (Check to see that the sink sits flat on top of the counter now, too.)
Position the sink so that it's about in the middle of all 4 marks so that you know that it's centered in the hole in the counter top. Now, mark the perimeter of the sink in that position with masking tape, felt pen or whatever.
2. Now install the sink:
Throw that stuff that came with the sink in the garbage where it belongs and apply a mound of plumber's putty around the hole in your counter top. Apply a fairly thick mound to make a watertight seal..
Lower the sink into the hole and press it down onto the plumber's putty so that the rim of the sink aligns with the marks made earlier when the sink was centered in the hole. Keep pushing down until the plumber's putty starts to ooze out from under the sink rim.
Now, get under the sink and install the clips and tighten them gradually, allowing plenty of time for the plumber's putty to ooze out from under the sink lip. Have a helper keep checking that the sink is still aligned with the marks made when the sink was centerd in the hole. To do that, he/she will have to keep removing the plumber's putty that comes oozing out.
If you don't have a clip at the front of the sink, or good access to it, simply put a board onto the lip of the sink at the front, and use a large clamp or two to clamp the board down onto the lip of the sink at the front. That will push the lip at the front of the sink down onto the counter top.
Connect the drain, fill the sink with water and test for leaks.
Great directions. Thanks very much. Is it necessary to caulk the outside edge once all that is done or should the plumber's putty be sufficient?
The plumber's putty is all you need.

Miami Federal Prison Inmates Give Birth In Shackles, Lawyer Says
On Tuesday, New Times reported the needless death of Keskea Hernandez, an inmate at Miami's Federal Detention Center. Death, it turns out, is not the only disgrace inside the FDC. Back in 2010, Maria Sosa was five months pregnant when she was accused of Medicare fraud and tossed into a cell. Manny Perez, her attorney at the time, says the health of Sosa and her baby were horribly neglected.
"She gave birth with shackles around one wrist and one ankle," Perez says. "She didn't even have a chance to hold the baby in her arms before they snatched it away from her."
Like Hernandez, Sosa was denied bond despite being a first-time offender and U.S. citizen. The pregnant woman was considered a flight risk because she was born in Cuba, Perez says.
Inside the FDC, Sosa was denied even the most basic medial treatment, Perez claims.

"Folic acid is one of most important minerals for a pregnant woman," he says. "A lack of it can contribute to autism. But it took her over two-and-a-half months before the doctor ... actually gave it to her."
Perez says his client was also denied tests to make sure her child didn't have a genetic disorder such as Down Syndrome. They were considered "elective" tests and denied, he says.
When it came time for Sosa to deliver her child, she was kept shackled to her hospital bed. Perez argues that this practice -- a policy of the Bureau of Prisons -- violates international law.
"What kind of harm can a woman do when she is delivering a child and trying to push the kid out?" he asks. "It makes no sense, particularly when she's serving a relatively short sentence on a white collar offense. She's not a violent killer."
In a motion filed before the delivery, Perez blasted the BOP for how it treats its pregnant inmates (see below for full text).
"The defendant's pre-natal care at the hands of the Bureau of Prisons is slightly better than a pregnancy during Neolithic times at the dawn of the Neanderthals," he wrote. "Undoubtedly, this inhumane treatment is worse than what we do to animals at the human society. However, as a colleague remarked to me 'those animals did not steal a million dollars from the Government.'"
Perez says the FDC and BOP's treatment of pregnant inmates is despicable, but not entirely shocking. It is part of a much broader erosion of human rights.
"We are living in a country now where we torture people in Guantanamo, in Abu Ghraib," he says. "These [inmates] are the people that we most dislike. The general opinion of the population is that they deserve it, so they get the worst treatment."
(FDC officials declined multiple requests from New Times to discuss complaints by Perez and other attorneys about health conditions at the prison.)

I got a free NBA 2K13 theme with my pre order on PSN, not much but better than nothing I guess. I only wanted a digital copy and that I got, I had no other choice. I don't buy disc based games anymore and yes my BD drive is still heatthy, I love the convenience of playing games off the HDD. Knowing that one day my drive may fail, I'll still be able to play the games hassle free.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Mike Rowland
One day in the early '80s, he heard an otherworldly, yet humble, melody while walking through the forest. Back in his living room, Rowland set up a tape recorder and played the music as best he could remember. After mixing in some orchestral strings with a synthesizer, Fairy Ring was complete. Rowland made duplicates on his home tape recorder and casually distributed them to friends and stores. From this innocent beginning, Fairy Ring spread worldwide to become one of the most enduring new age albums of all time; Shirley MacLaine immortalized the music on her video Inner Workout.
Rowland occasionally gives public concerts, and during a 1986 tour in The Hague, he signed on with Oreade Music, thus assuring his recordings worldwide marketing and distribution. Rowland, however, has never lost that mystical innocence and charm. His album roster includes Piesces (1990), Within the Light (1996), and My Elfin Friends (1999). Land of Hope and Dreams followed in early 2001. ~ Carol Wright

VIDEO: Reverend Billy On September 11th, Grief And Humidity Controlled Peace
On the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the Reverend asks "What happened to peace?"
As a person who was in Manhattan when the planes struck the World Trade Center and a person who had a missing family member in that area at the time I feel like the September 11th spectacles and the orgy of retrospectives is something to avoid at all costs. It doesn't make any sense to me. It's disconnected from what actually happened, how people really felt. It's a political celebration and an on que outpouring of emotion that cheapens us all. Far from healing since it's so far from the truth or that moment.
I saw this video though of Reverend Billy (whom we introduced to you here if you don't know him) and finally I saw something 9/11 related that made sense to me. Here the good Reverend talks about one of the things we forget was talking place at the time- a genuine human desire for peace, a peace movement.
If you're in town you can join him this Sunday on the 10th anniversary of 9/11. "Bring flowers & candles and let's pause together remember when there was still hope for Peace in the time after the towers crashed down." More info: revbilly.com
Somali Refugees Observe Ramadan Fasting During Drought
Many Somali refugees will be observing the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. It's a time when, among other things, people fast during the daylight hours, though they are already "fasting" due to starvation. Many Somalis are caught in the midst of what the United Nations describes the Somali drought as the worst humanitarian disaster in the world and what United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon calls the situation a "catastrophic combination of conflict, high food prices (as we saw in Egypt during the Arab Spring) and drought".
These are some of the effects of climate change that will only increase.
Famine was officially declared in 2 regions of Somalia in late July while another 8 million in neighboring countries including Kenya and Ethiopia need food assistance.
Ramadan is also a time of for generosity and compassion. In the video people in Nairobi observing the holy month donate food to starving Somalis to deliver aid that also hasn't come from other sources.
Climate Change Will Lead To More Wars
Photo Credit: "point blank" by Jesse Wright
It's unfortunate that many people think of human society as being separate from, or above, nature. In reality, we are part of it. This means that the actions humans take, specifically the ones which are contributing to climate change, not only negatively effect our natural environment, but also effect our society and the way individuals and nations interact with one another. One of these interactions between nations as a result of climate change is an increased threat of war. Continue reading
VIDEO: A Still Timely Speech From The Man Himself On Martin Luther King Jr Day
Photo Credit: Yoichi R. Okamoto, White House Press Office
I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin…we must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society.
When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered." — Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Beyond Vietnam speech, April 4, 1967, Riverside Church, New York City
King's "Beyond Vietnam" or the "Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam" speech was made one year to the day before he would be assassinated. This is King at the depth of his popularity, when even many, including Black people, turned their backs on him. This is King at his most controversial, and possibly at his most enlightened.

Veterans Day: A Reminder Our Country Is At War

It's much harder to sacrifice your life but I think no one really sacrifices their life. Continue reading

What Does Memorial Day Have To Do With American Idol?
I confess, "if I'm being completely honest" as American Idol judge Simon Cowell used to say, I have watched every season of American Idol (AI) since it started.
I got hooked by the bad auditions in the beginning of the first season, not expecting to be engaged in the contestants plights and quests for stardom.
With millions of voters, even in the first season when no one really knew what the show was, AI consistently gets a voter turnout those in politics would be envious of. Continue reading

Re: Recipease store launching..
What a really great idea, just a shame its so far away. Showing everyone who wishes to know, how to make healthy food is a winner! Sure beats ordering regular takeaway. How cool to be able pick up something really lovely, that's not been sat in plastic for days, but loads cheaper than going out. I am sure it will be a massive success!" Pass it on just" got huge!!!!!!
Jamie, please pass on some of your enterprise down this neck of the woods. We are desperate for something new in the way of restaurants in this city! There is not a single place to eat, where, at the end of your meal, you feel that your money well spent! Good luck

This year's MLA was supposed to be discussing the crisis of affairs in the Humanities. Only a lucky few of the graduate students on the market with their freshly minted PhDs will find jobs in academia — ever.
The increasing corporatization of higher education is driving the scholarly agenda, as funders begin to dictate the scope of the university's educational mission. Students are being pushed into ever higher debt in order to get undergraduate degrees, which further drives the expectation that only high paying jobs in business, accounting, and computing, to name but a few fields are worth their time and money.
Only those who anticipate that they will be able to carry mortgage sized debt, some for the next 25 years, can embark on advanced degrees in Law, Psychology, Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary sciences, without strong financial support from family. All that is to say, we are making education for the rich, and for those who think they'll probably be rich. We are making it for those who don't already carry financial burdens for their families, for the families they hope to have, and the communities they'd like to one day contribute to.
Yet these very real concerns, such as resolution 2014-2 brought to the Delegates' Assembly calling for support for institutions whose accreditation has been removed, despite "excellent record in student success and access", and condemnation for those driven by corporate agendas of privatization who can influence accreditation, demonstrating the best principles and activities of the profession, go by unnoticed.
These topics close to the heart of scholars in the literatures and languages that make up its members, have seen their MLA instead hijacked by a vocal, organized, activist but minor section using the MLA to further its political agenda. The risks to academia are being marginalized while this conference gets slammed in the press for its resolution, and emergency resolution, purporting to represent Palestinian political issues. This group believes that it can pressure the Israeli government to bend to its will. An agenda that as one person pointed out at the open discussion yesterday "appears innocent enough on the surface but is clearly partisan".
If this group really believes in the importance of the academic freedom they claim to be representing, they should be open to universalizing their message: that the MLA should condemn all governments who restrict the free association and free movement of academics. They should not feel their message is threatened by the possibility that it can be used by other groups, who also seek justice for those unable to engage in free expression and are limited by foreign governments by virtue of their gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, or political views.
Taking their activist message out of a single, specific and clearly complex situation, and universalizing it would mean the MLA is an organization whose members stand up for ALL academics represented by their discipline. It would show that the Humanities has an important role, a role that must be preserved even in the face of the mounting pressures that the academy is currently facing. The Humanities can stands as the voice of liberty, reason, and intellectual freedom. The Humanities can be a civilising force on the world, and the MLA can get back on track, protecting its scholars from those who would seek to silence them.

text: NEW YORK, April 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Some of today's biggest names in music including Taylor Swift , Justin Bieber , Prince, Bruno Mars and Miguel are set to perform at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, airing live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on SUNDAY, MAY 19 (8:00–11:00 pm, ET) on the ABC Television Network, sponsored by Chevrolet and Las Vegas. In addition to delivering multiple unforgettable performances, the awards show will also honor Billboard chart-topper and world-renowned music legend Prince with the Billboard Icon Award highlighting his unique journey and history of groundbreaking accomplishments in the music industry during the broadcast, which will be executive produced by Don Mischer. More musical acts and presenters will be announced in the coming weeks. For awards show updates and ticketing information, visit www.billboard.com. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130403/NY88239LOGO ) Seven-time GRAMMY®-winner Taylor Swift , who writes all of her own songs, has career record sales in excess of 26 million albums and 75 million song downloads worldwide. With the 2012 release of her album RED, Taylor became the only female artist to twice have an album sell more than 1 million copies in a single week. The success of RED also made 23 year-old Taylor the first artist since the Beatles (and the only female artist in history) to log six or more weeks at No. 1 with three consecutive studio albums. Some of Taylor's other incredible career achievements include being named Billboard's Woman of the Year in 2011 (the youngest woman ever to receive that honor), and, with 58 Hot 100 hits, she boasts the second-most among women in the chart's more than 50-year history (trailing only the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin). Global phenomenon Justin Bieber has sold over 18 million albums worldwide to date, and has amassed over 3.5 billion video views on YouTube, over 52 million Facebook fans and has more than 36 million Twitter followers. Among his numerous chart honors, he's the only artist ever to notch five No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 before turning 19. His latest studio set, Believe, has granted him three top 10 Hot 100 smashes. Believe follows Justin's No. 1 Christmas album, Under the Mistletoe (his third No. 1 album debut in just 18 months), My World 2.0 (April, 2010) and Never Say Never: The Remixes (February, 2011). Never Say Never: The Remixes was the accompaniment to Justin's concert documentary film Never Say Never, which went on to become the highest grossing concert film in US history. Bruno Mars is a 14-time GRAMMY® Award nominee who has sold over 53 million singles worldwide and has over 1 billion views on YouTube. Since his arrival just three years ago, he's collected four Hot 100 No. 1 singles and, just last month, his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, Unorthodox Jukebox. Bruno's debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans was released in October 2010 and achieved global success with the hit singles "The Lazy Song," "Grenade," and the blockbuster "Just the Way You Are," which reached No. 1 in multiple countries and won the critically-acclaimed artist a GRAMMY® Award for "Best Male Pop Vocal Performance." Since bursting onto the R&B scene with his smooth sound at the beginning of the decade, Miguel has posted five Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs top 10s. His ballad "Adorn," the lead single off his four-time GRAMMY®-nominated sophomore album, Kaleidoscope Dream, catapulted to the top of charts garnering Miguel his third No. 1 hit single and a 2013 GRAMMY® win for "Best R&B Song." The single has also led the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart for a record 23 weeks and counting. Billboard Music Awards finalists are based on key fan interactions with music, including album and digital singles sales, radio airplay, touring, streaming and social interactions on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, VEVO, Spotify and other popular online destinations for music. These measurements are tracked year-round by Billboard and its data partners, including Nielsen Entertainment and Next Big Sound. The awards are based on the reporting period of March 12, 2012 through March 10, 2013.

Consumer confidence has plunged as households fret about prospects for the economy and their own finances amid Europe's worsening debt problems, elevated interest rates and uncertainty about the impact of the carbon tax.
The Westpac-Melbourne Institute consumer sentiment index plummeted 8.3 per cent this month to reach 92.8 points, its lowest reading in more than two years, and is approaching the lows experienced during 2008 when confidence was battered initially by high interest rates and subsequently the global financial crisis.
The survey was conducted last week, before the details of the federal government's carbon tax package were known, but Westpac chief economist Bill Evans said the result captured the dampening effect of the looming impost on the mood of households, amplifying already-elevated concerns about the risk of a relapse in the global recovery and weak conditions in much of the economy not directly benefiting from the resources boom.
Almost all measures of confidence in the survey fell.
The index measuring views on the outlook for the economy in the next 12 months fell 13.5 per cent, while confidence in prospects for family finances in the year ahead fell 4 per cent, continuing a decline that began in the middle of last year to reach levels not seen in more than six years.
Disappointingly for retailers, the index measuring views on whether or not now was a good time to buy a major household item plunged 9.5 per cent.
The survey's findings follow the release of a National Australia Bank study on Tuesday showing that conditions in the retail sector have deteriorated to become as tough as they were during the worst days of the global financial crisis as part of widespread weakening in orders and profits that has undermined confidence in many industries.
Mr Evans said the darkening mood of consumers, combined with renewed financial jitters offshore, reduced the risk of a rate rise this year.
Financial markets have priced in a 33 per cent chance of a rate cut next month, and while the Westpac economist did not back this call, he nonetheless saw little prospect of a rate hike before early next year.
"Global financial conditions are unlikely to deteriorate to the extent we saw in 2008," Mr Evans said. "Nevertheless, these conditions will hardly be conducive to the Reserve Bank raising rates. As such, we do not expect to see a change in rates for the remainder of this year, with an easing bias the most appropriate policy response to the current circumstances.'

How do you make silver fondant?
by M Nash
(Elizabeth City, NC)
I am making my husbands grandfather's 90th birthday cake. It will be 3 tiered with silver starts shooting from the cake. The problem is when I try to make the "silver" stars with the fondant, I have... either white with silver dust, that is not very silver-y. I tried adding a touch of black to give it a slight gray appearance, but as it dried it looked blue. I tried another batch with more black, but that look more like the over the hill cake I just did. any suggestion on How I can get silver stars?? The cake is for this sunday.
From the editor:
Start with a pale gray fondant. Mix bright silver petal dust with a little vodka and paint over the gray fondant. This will give you a beautiful silver finish on you stars.
Good luck.

I do not know what is going on in
However you dress it up, this is an additional company tax that will reduce funds available for dividends, which will affect shareholders and superannuation fund beneficiaries, as well as reducing the capacity of corporate treasuries to fund their operations.
To make matters worse, the distribution is regressive as higher-income earners receive a bigger slice of the action. If paid parental leave is a worthwhile social objective, it should be funded by taxpayers as a whole, and not a subsection based on some arbitrary assessment of capacity to pay like

Cooling Question
I pulled the ac/heater blower unit box thingamajig out of my 87 Monte Carlo and put in a 383 and TH350. My question is can i just connect the two coolant lines that go to the heater core. I have heard people just blocking the ports, but i thought that the heater core and lines were important because when the thermostat is closed, thats where the coolant flows and circulates.
You can loop them together or block them off, won't make any difference in flow.

Former Red Sox player Nick Punto joins Mut and Lou to talk about the blockbuster trade with the Dodgers. He regrets not attending Johnny Pesky's funeral.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
Soured there much Lou not a three point seven WEEI. Talked to buster only later on this hour. Big trade made this past weekend and joining us on the ATP hotline AT&T forgy LTE was speeds up to ten times faster than three G it's AT&T. Rethink possible that was obviously with the centerpiece. Of the trade kind of work that's what we call here the Nick -- trade Nick Punto from Red Sox utility guy joining us on the nick put -- radio -- was called at that. -- -- her -- -- don't we do and I'd nick you know I'd. -- all three I was one I got traded to back to Boston actually after in August. I'm just wonder what was go to your Mike Zimmer -- happening meals that meet Michael Owen and you're out of this mega deal when you thought you part of it was your response. The same way yeah I mean. You know all these huge -- big dollars. We got a little Ricky -- already along with the people as well. You know it's crazy it's it's been a great. -- -- -- -- -- You know it's. Burke saying there is always helped to lead Boston. Especially if it doesn't work out he'll win because that's sure a poetry -- wouldn't want to win and didn't work out in -- two -- You find out -- what before a game is about to start in the lineup and and from what you told rob Bradford WEEI dot com to go back and forth like during a game trying to get news on what the hell's a lot of somehow went down. Pretty much together and the -- during got scratched from the lineup. -- -- still vote on the card you know we're just in the extra -- which means. You know we're capable playing that night -- -- playing so. You know I'm just doing my normal routine sitting on the bench watching game. And they're applied to have to run up and -- -- in. In hurting being you know it's it's a little chaotic and crazy to. Really don't know a lot you know -- -- to try to keep thinks as -- as they can't and then it kind of just blows operated the end. You know you saw a pretty difficult for months I think here in Boston given -- The did the chaos that was spring training from the aftermath of September and in the way the season went for the first four months there was a lot of negative to really get to see that. You know playing in Boston when you wind and how great it would be an. What was that like -- experience you think four months in Boston and into that open your eyes to anything. I still enjoyed it I really did. In. -- -- -- -- -- You know from 7 o'clock 10 o'clock and I knew -- searchers know better placed to. Take the field and and play the game so. It's it's a special place yeah we didn't play very well that I I could -- you would you be glad I can picture would -- -- like to win a world championship there in. Who have been pretty cool. A part of this season has been not to sets 7 at 10 o'clock but obviously -- saw how much scrutiny the players in the team -- I think. Pardon possible what happened last September and he played in in passionate baseball markets before. Was this media here you solve the course of four months that much worse than places like Saint Louis and other places you played during your career. Yeah I -- I would say that maybe that's why there's so much interest in the ball well do you know because. There is a lot of off the field you know everybody -- know whatever he's doing off the field. And it's it wasn't like -- ability at all I'd come I don't know occurred either as much interest -- -- -- because. They're not gonna find. A meteor count. That that all of it seemed like like boxer and he'll. You feel like it affected your teammates over the course of this year with a different stories that popped up we called drama stories nick did affect the team in that clubhouse. I hear the -- it can't. I know that it's you know human nature to listening -- So sure it does you know -- absolutely. You know when you wouldn't Ernie offseason they brought you -- here anybody garlic Cody Ross -- news. Last October those that kind of some names of calling out for you know guys -- gonna bring in good clubhouse guys to help their club ourselves. And provide you some leadership even in even in your role as a utility infielder. When you got today a clubhouse after being in four months did you sense that there was leadership in there that's one thing to think that a question now. Yeah yeah there's there's a bunch of leaders -- there wasn't like one bullish that the other guys. That you just got a lead by example I think a lot of you know David Ortiz who speak out here and there but most of the guys in there you know you just you watch him play and around the loopy all listed in -- early in. Yeah there's not a lot of vocal leaders but I definitely see now. Throughout the years he just kind of follow by example. Here you -- -- on -- the Utah and dads are -- you talked of rob. India today talking about the guys and a clubhouse and -- you know there was good chemistry guys didn't like each other and I. He covered the same thing we talked about the same thing there but was it difficult because when we looked at. It's the typical part of this team was Bobby Valentine maybe with communication having different coaches. That you find that difficult -- it -- like throughout the year. Some cultures were on the same page and that that element was where. It was a little bit in -- was that toxic -- there was tension there. Yeah you know I think that's what you see. Staff. Knows when they change it to look like these people all you know like. You were together you know managing job you wanna bring all your clothes. But he played within you know miners -- big week. Umps are reasons you know actually you have liberties something page and have each other's back. Because it is actually. There's a lot of scrutiny dating. -- -- -- -- -- Typically look at create in the the -- Didn't express that are sure that you didn't know that. Well and I think. As you went on the actually. You know we talked about it Bobby Valentine as a manager you know that the way York's the bull pens and maybe during games that. The strategies to to meet the one they have been critical with them I think is -- communication you know I'd just. Is the lack of communication whether be from different areas whether B players announcing you know injuries or. Miscommunication with players and not creating some stories that way. What's the communication there do you think with Bobby. And yet it's definitely getting better. Bill -- wasn't his strong suit that he he's deftly. Made huge effort because you know. Doesn't -- -- expressed that he's making it period effort to get and it is slip this on the Padilla. I guess that he really wants to get better which was which we all noticed. You know throughout the course you would like. We're talking a current dodger former red sock infielder Nick Punto your former teammate Kelly Shoppach ends up in new York and -- -- -- talk about you know how things went down in Boston but went to that communication line again he talked about the communication nick. With the front office and I just wonder if you look back at those four months. You know besides body -- time did you see the mobile lines communication blurred. We're guys hearing different things from different people as when Kelly brings up the front office we start to think okay. -- tell what guys what who's talking -- when it just seems like there wasn't a straight line that communication with the Red Sox this year. Yes yeah I can't comment on that either I don't know what you know what to -- -- communication links to. Two of the injured and your coaches during and I try to simulate that. You know there was not a -- not describe a little ball here it goes or mark rather. I just wondered if you could clear -- wanted to clear up some of that that the team to a lot of criticism for last week with. The Johnny Pesky in the four players showing up how was that communicated to you guys as team. He would Dallas. You know -- -- as an -- like 4 o'clock in the morning. And we showed and who's just one of those things were hectic. I know for me personally I can't beat my teammates that to me personally that -- become that I regret you know not. You know go to bed at 430 Internet alarm for 10 o'clock and discolored or you know. You know when I reflect back on the season and will be one of the things that I I definitely regret not doing.
