"Shattered" by The Rolling Stones (VIDEO)
Listen to "Shattered" by The Rolling Stones, No. 39 on our list of the 100 best NYC songs.
Wed Mar 7 2012
39. The Rolling Stones, "Shattered" (1978)
The iconic English rockers had a notorious love-hate relationship with the States, especially NYC. That ambivalence is conveyed nowhere better than in this song, which Mick Jagger reportedly wrote in the back of a yellow cab. It's a sleazy punk track about the grime that was rife in '70s New York: the trash, the greed, the sex, the despair. Shadoobie!

"Bill McKibben has produced a book that is both a sequel and an equal to his brilliant The End of Nature. Enough is an ambitious and important book." Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Without question, this is one of the most important books of the year. McKibben deserves to be read, to be discussed, to be heard." San Diego Union-Tribune
"[A] brave and luminous book . . . Bill McKibben understands genetics--but he knows poetry, too." David Gelernter, Wired
"Bill McKibben has done a top-notch job of researching and writing about one of the most important topics of the current age. Enough is an important book and needs to be read by everyone with an interest in keeping the human future human." The Weekly Standard
"Fiercely important . . . the most thought-provoking piece of non-fiction I've read in a long time." The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
"In this wise, well-researched, and important book, Bill McKibben addresses the burning philosophical question of the new century, and the one that counts for the long haul: how to control the technoscientific juggernaut before it dehumanizes our species." E. O. Wilson, author of The Future of Life
"In Enough, McKibben shines his powerful light on another momentous change that is upon us: the ability to re-engineer ourselves and therefore the very meaning of human identity. If he is right, then humankind stands on a moral and existential threshold--or cliff. We would do well as a society to weigh his bracing argument before taking another step."

Government House is located in Sydney alongside the Royal Botanic Gardens, overlooking Sydney Harbour, just south of the Sydney Opera House. Constructed between 1837 and 1843, the property has been the official residence of the Governor of New South Wales since Sir George Gipps in 1845, except for two brief periods; the first between 1901 to 1914, when the property was leased to the Commonwealth of Australia as the residence of the Governor-General of Australia, and the second from 1996 to 2011.

Local man next door to the building where Navy Yard shooting broke out
NEW BERN, CRAVEN COUNTY - At least 13 people, including the shooter, died during the Monday morning attack on the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. NewsChannel 12 learned that several Cherry Point workers were at the Navy Yard when the shootings started.
Anthony Bennett, of New Bern, is a Human Resource Specialist at Cherry Point. He said he and seven other co-workers from Cherry Point were in a training session at the Navy Yard when the shooting started in the building next to the one they were inside.
"Right after we began class, we had somebody come by the class and tell us to get away from the windows because they had reports of a shooting in the building next door," he said.
Bennett said they tried to resume class, but were put on lockdown for more than nine hours.
"A lot of our fellow co-workers who work in that building were gracious enough to empty their desks and cupboards or anything they had snack-wise to get us through," he explained.
Anthony's wife, Monique Bennett, made the trip to Washington with him, but she was at their hotel room just a few blocks from the Navy Yard entrance. She said she heard a lot of sirens early Monday morning but didn't think anything of it.
"I just assumed it was a typical Monday in Washington, D.C. but then turned my TV on and I realized there was something very serious going on," she said.
Anthony's father, Beck Bennett of New Bern, said he received a message from his son around 8:30 Monday morning.
"My son sent me a text that they were hearing shots being fired next door and they were on lockdown and to please pray we'll be OK," he said.
Bennett said due to bad cell service in his son's building all he could do was text him to see if he was OK.
"I'm just relieved to know they weren't in direct line of fire," he said.
Anthony Bennett said you think you're at the safest place possible when you're on a military base.
"It's shocking that somebody would be able to have access to that type of motive and actually carry out something like this," he said.
Bennett said no one in his group was hurt or affected outside of the nine-hour wait, but it has put some things in perspective.
"My head is still spinning, but I'm excited to get home to New Bern and squeeze my babies," he said.
Bennett said his classes have been cancelled for the rest of the week. He and his wife will return home to New Bern on Tuesday.

The world of comics has matured a lot in the last hundred years. Today, graphic novels enjoy a cred that Archie never did. This weekend, Bethesda's annual Small Press Expo gathers the best illustrators and comic artists working today. Here's our guide for whose table to storm, full geek ahead.
Kate Beaton
Kate Beaton does not mean to educate you. Anything you may learn from perusing "Hark! A Vagrant" — her webcomic devoted to art, literature and making fun of Canada — is just a side effect of mixing profanity, "The Great Gatsby" and jokes about Charles Dickens.
Beaton lampoons the stiffest of history's heroes, but she clearly likes them. Take her Napoleon Bonaparte, a chubby little fellow who drowns his sorrows over a roving Josephine by eating too many cookies.
Beaton is a bit of a reluctant cartoonist. She nixed studying animation after high school. Instead, she studied history. But after college, she kept drawing. "Hark!" caught on with the Internet intelligentsia, and she self-published a collection of her work, "Never Learn Anything From History," in 2009. She had cartoons published in the New Yorker and Wired, and won a 2011 Harvey Award for Best Online Comics Work. Her newest collection, named for the series, is being released this month by Canadian publisher Drawn & Quarterly.
Beaton's branched out of historical comics, too — one recent story line looked at the unexplored personal life of Lois Lane.
"Mary Jane, Spider-Man's girlfriend, she's a model. Who cares?" Beaton says. "Lois is, like, 'I'm gonna get this story!' and is busting in through locked doors. It's kind of sad that Superman's always there meddling."
Sarah Glidden & The Pizza Island Comics Collective
Being an artist is tough: low pay, long hours, lots of existential uncertainty. Perhaps most unrelenting is the solitude. For six illustrators in Brooklyn, N.Y., the solution was Pizza Island (pictured above).
"There were days that I never even went outside," says Sarah Glidden, whose graphic novel "How to Understand Israel in 60 Days or Less" is more hard-nosed journalism than goofy cartoon, of her working life before joining the Pizza Island collective — the members of which will be at SPX. "It can be so isolating working on something all day and not having anyone to talk to."
Glidden and Julia Wertz (of cult comic "Fart Party") and French cartoonist Domitille Collardey set out to find a shared working space, rounding up Lisa Hanawalt (who draws for the Believer and the Hairpin), Kate Beaton (more on her at right) and "Octopus Pie" creator Meredith Gran. It's a motley and hardworking crew.
"No duds in this studio," says Glidden. No dudes, either — though that's not by design, and the collective has included a male artist.
"We get frustrated sometimes that people pay attention to us because, 'Six girls all makin' comics! Wow!'" Glidden quips. Yep. Making comics, making book deals, signing illustrator contracts with magazines such as Vice, Harper's and McSweeney's. "We're all doing pretty well in our own ways."
SPX Trailblazers
The talent at this year's expo has more than 356,472 combined years of cartooning experience. Bask in the superior knowledge of:
Roz Chast, left, whose iconic, wiry 'toons have made her a force at the New Yorker for more than 30 years. Sun., 2 p.m.
Ann Telnaes, who won the Pulitzer Prize in 2001 for her editorial cartooning. Sun., 2:30 p.m.
Diane Noomin got her start with "Wimmen's Comix," an underground digest that ran from 1972 to 1992. Sun., 4 p.m.
Don't Miss
Chester Brown: No American cartoonist would run for public office after publishing a controversial series of comics about the Christian gospels. But Brown has a boldness that comes with being both Canadian and libertarian, and so he did. We're glad he didn't win, because that gives him more time to draw. Sat., 6 p.m.
Anders Nilsen: Nilsen's comic "Big Questions" combines the philosophical bent of "Peanuts" and "Calvin and Hobbes" with an epic grandeur that's uncommon in simple pen-and-ink doodles. A compendium of his work has just been published by Drawn & Quarterly. Sat., 2 p.m.
Craig Thompson: Thompson broke out in 2003 with the graphic novel "Blankets," a look at growing up in an evangelical Christian family. His newest, "Habibi," examines Islamic culture from the point of view of a prostitute and a eunuch who embark on a romance. Sat., 3 p.m.
Getting There
Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center, 5701 Marinelli Road, North Bethesda; Sat., 11 a.m.-7 p.m., and Sun., noon-6 p.m., $10-$15; 301-822-9200.

Maybe we would should let people starve to death for shits and giggles
Are you putting a value judgement on that?
So the question is, do we want to grow as many humans as possible?
What happens when the food supply fails?
Would a better goal be to develop sustainable agriculture models tailored for regional circumstances and to help develop distribution networks also tailored for regional circumstances?
Agribusiness has one goal and one goal only - short term growth of shareholder value. There is nothing incentivizing sustainable agriculture. Producers become dependent on the "industrial food complex", if anything fails along the production/distribution line, you will have famine.
We are creating dependents world wide with our "industrial food complex".
BR is getting one off Acadian and Perkins
My point is that through our technology we have swelled populations outside of our own borders. When you include the medications that we've developed through our technology, it only exacerbates the problem. These huge increases in populations have caused an enormous amount of strife in regions that do not have the same level of technological sophistication that we enjoy.
If by value judgment you mean stating the fact that the modern agribusiness has fed 1B people who'd be dead otherwise then yes.
Yes - more humans = more innovation, better quality of life.
Barring some cataclysmic event that would have repercussion beyond the food supply I can't foresee a food supply failure.
I think people are free to do as they please....starvation in the modern age has nothing to do with agribusiness and everything to do with corrupt political systems in the 3rd world - namely Africa.
Companies want to make money - yes. I don't know why this is always thrown out as some kind of bugaboo
We are dependent on food and food producers.
Can you seriously provide an example of where our technological innovations - in this instance food supply - has led to regional strife?
I'm afraid of the impact that will have on the Bet-R.
False conclusion. Those people would not have been born in the first place.
That's absurd, link?
Yeah, because cataclysmic events NEVER happen.
There is already a problem in our food supply chain. We are far too dependent on far too few varieties of crops. All it takes is one organism to develop resistance to the suite of pesticides that we use and there could be a massive reduction in productivity.
I'm sure when they were developing anti-biotics no one could foresee bacteria like staphylococcus becoming resistant to all forms. We are at the mercy of natural forces which have shown to be quite fickle and have little regard for our technology or efforts.
But they are not free to do as they please. First of all, they are dependant on US agribusiness to supply the artificially inflated populations. Second of all they are subject to the very corrupt political systems you mention. People are now dependent on US exports either in the form of sterile seed or artificial food distribution controlled by the local corrupt political systems.
Some of us ARE food producers. But yes, we are, generally speaking, dependent on food producers. Luckily for us our food producers produce a surplus. But we have to be responsible with how we deal with that surplus, we don't want to end up with a bunch of people outside of our borders becoming dependent on us.
The interests of the shareholders are not always the interests of the nation as a whole. Going back to sustainable agriculuture in many developing countries would be in our national interests, but there's really no money in it, so it is not in the best interests of the shareholders.
Yes. Grain exports to developing countries set up artificial and centralized distribution networks that are easily controlled by corrupt governments.
quote:My buddy that is a higher-up for them said there would be one in Laffy and one somewhere else I cant remember. Why the hell would they build one on Perkins?Acadian if there is one 5 miles away already?
BR is getting one off Acadian and Perkins
And as the population peaked with food supply people would have starved to death.
Why do you assume we won't be able to invent the means to overcome?
Mansanto isn't moving food to Africa
These are political problems, not agribusiness, food chain, industrial food problems

Inspired by industrial designs, this accent table lamp features an open cage look with a decorative Edison bulb.More Details >
Add an eye-catching accent piece to any space with this on trend accent lamp. A simple industrial-inspired wire cage design exposes an Edison style light bulb for a beautiful effect. An in-line switch provides a convenient touch to complete the look.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
Beautiful lamp that currently resides on an antique desk in the living room. Great lamp for the price
I was looking for something industrial/transitional/unique. This lamp is perfect for a corner table in a hallway. The light bulb is very bright so I attached an extention cord that has a dimmer option on it and now it's a perfect little accent lamp.
I use this lamp as a bedside lamp. It is the perfect size and puts out the right amount of light for me. I also use a dimmer so that my spouse and I can each control how much light we want.
The cage is larger relative to the bulb than it appears in the picture. Or perhaps I should say that I need to find a larger bulb to fill up more of the cage space? Cord is quite long - usually good. I need to figure out how to hide all the extra cord in my particular placement. If anyone here at Lamps Plus has an idea, would love to hear it. Right now it is wrapped around the lamp itself while I figure out how to hide (no place to drape the extra on a bathroom vanity).
Wonderful looking lamp! This was perfect for my wife and I. It doesn't give out a lot of reading light but it is the perfect accent light. The Edison bulb is really great looking. We bought a 60 watt one to give out a little more light. Love the product.

@JeffreyWay – u sure?
Forgot to mention you guys are funny too. (:
The authors are great. Envato however, not so much. The percentages they charge are insulting. It blows my mind that so many people put up with it.
Just to put this out there to the authors letting Envato take advantage of you: Even with Adwords costs, I still make several times the amount I would make per sale here – and I make more sales than even the highest selling themes.
Stop cheating yourselves. Put up your own site and advertise. It's worth it.
agree 100%
since finding the envato network, i check appstorm, FSW , psdtuts, themeforest and nettuts daily…

Rooney Mara
Lending their talent to an intriguing new production, Ryan Gosling and Rooney Mara paired up for filming in Austin, Texas earlier this week (September 24).
The " Half Nelson" heartthrob and his "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" actress co-star got up close and personal while in the midst of an intimate scene for director Terrence Malick's yet-to-be-titled project.
Continuing work on their new untitled Terrence Malick project, Ryan Gosling and Rooney Mara showed up on the Austin, Texas set yesterday (September 23).
The "Lars and the Real Girl" hunk and his "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" costar seemed to be in good spirits as they worked on the outdoor location, seeking shelter from the hot Texas sun beneath umbrellas in between takes.
She's an expert at playing dark characters, but Rooney Mara was full of sunny smiles as she stepped out with her boyfriend in New York on Thursday (September 6).
"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" star playfully tugged at Charles McDowell's arm and joked as they strolled the Big Apple's streets.
Disappointing fans of the literary and big screen success "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," the planned sequel will not arrive in theaters until after 2013.
Screenwriter Steve Zaillian is still working on the script, halting further progress. No director has been attached to the project, but David Fincher, who directed the first film remains the first choice.
Commonly bringing together Hollywood's biggest names, Vogue recently revealed its top singers, designers, actors, and models of the moment.
In the publication's September 2012 issue, The Vogue 120 features a rundown of the hottest stars under 45 including Jennifer Lawrence, Rooney Mara, Adele, Beyonce Knowles, Lana Del Rey, Blake Lively and Kristen Stewart.
Prepared for the weather, Rooney Mara walked around Soho in New York City today (July 29) with her trusty umbrella in hand.
The "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" star wore a black and white plaid shirt with suede boots as she casually walked through the Big Apple streets.
Hard at work on their new project, Channing Tatum and Rooney Mara were spotted on the set of "The Bitter Pill" in Downtown Manhattan today (May 23).
The "Magic Mike" stud and the "Social Network" starlet sat down for some coffee while filming a scene at the Highline Park near the Meatpacking District.
Looking much more demure than her scenes yesterday (May 15), Rooney Mara was spotted on the set of "The Bitter Pill" in Upstate New York this afternoon (May 16).
The red-headed starlet donned a darling polka-dotted sundress with a black cardigan and was all smiles as she filmed a scene for her newest production.
Portraying her new pain medication abusing character, Rooney Mara was spotted on the set of her new film "The Bitter Pill" in New York City on Tuesday (May 15).
The 27-year-old fit the look of the character as she appeared disheveled in baggy pants, a tan sweater and a jacket that was half falling off while being escorted away by police officers.
A red-headed Rooney Mara was all smiles on the set of "The Bitter Pill" in New York City today (May 9) as she left her trailer toting a guitar.
The "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" star looked rocker-chic sporting a pair of black motorcycle boots with an army green shirt and black leather handbag.

Essex County Freeholders Approve Immigration Detention Contract
A controversial contract to house illegal immigrant detainees in a privately run facility was unanimously approved by the Essex County Board of Chosen Freeholders Wednesday night.
The contract, which was put to bid a second time in October, was again awarded to Education and Health Centers of America (EHCA), a private firm with political ties to Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo Jr. and Gov. Chris Christie.
"I don't care what issue comes before this board – we never vote on issues before we do our homework," said Board President Blonnie R. Watson.
In August, DiVincenzo signed a five-year, $250 million contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to house 1,250 immigrant detainees in Essex County. Under the contract approved Wednesday, 450 of those detainees will be placed at Delaney Hall, run by for-profit agency Community Education Center (CEC), in Newark adjacent to the Essex County Correctional Facility. The county jail will house the remaining 800.
EHCA is the nonprofit affiliate of CEC.
Immigration right advocates made a last-ditch effort Wednesday to dissuade the board from approving the contract, which they said puts profit before human rights. Protesters claim detainees in both facilities are subject to inhumane treatment.
Many speakers urged the formation of a community oversight committee to monitor the centers.
"It's basically the very minimum thing that a community can do to ensure a modicum of transparency," said Alina Das, supervising attorney at New York University Law who specializes in immigration rights.
Freeholders Rufus I. Johnson, Rolando Bobadilla and Leonard M. Luciano made unannounced visits to Delaney Hall this week and said they found detainees living in proper conditions, complete with working televisions, a workout area and well-balanced meals.
"I can tell you I was (EHCA's) biggest critic," said Bobadilla. "I can tell you that I did not find anything that was unfit or inhumane. And I'm glad I saw that."
The three freeholders vowed to make regular, unannounced visits to Delaney Hall and partake in an oversight committee, if enacted. Officials said the decision to create such committee is in ICE's authority.
Last summer, Essex County canceled a contract with EHCA, which was the lone bidder at the time, when the bidding process came into question. Top CEC officials have made campaign contributions to DiVincenzo or are closely allied with Christie, the New York Times previously reported.
EHCA was the sole bidder when the contract went out for rebid two months ago.
Though Wednesday's decision hardly came as a surprise, advocates still promised to fight for immigrants' rights. Karina Wilkinson, co-founder of the Middlesex County Coalition for Immigrant Rights, said she'll continue to monitor the conditions in both facilities.
Meanwhile, Kathy O'Leary, the coordinator of Pax Christi NJ, a Catholic organization advocating peace and justice, said she'd hold freeholders to their word. O'Leary amassed more than 4,000 signatures on her online petition to revoke the contract.
"What I'm perplexed about is how they keep saying ICE can tell them if they can oversee their own jail and their own facilities. I can't imagine entering into a contract with anybody that says that I can't oversee my own operations I'm responsible for," she said. "We're talking about 460 lives they're responsible for at Delaney Hall."

Doctors should consider the implications for the family when genetic tests are needed for a patient, say new guidelines.
More and more clinical applications are being seen in the NHS, says the joint guidance from the Royal College of Physicians, the Royal College of Pathologists and the British Society for Human Genetics, which aims to help doctors navigate the increasingly complex ethical and legal issues surrounding the use of genetic material.
This is especially important when managing information that is relevant to both the individual and their family, it says.
The guidance includes flowcharts for guided decision making and simple consent forms, which can be adapted for use in different settings, and worked examples, based on real cases illustrating how complex situations can be dealt with in practice.
A key focus of the report is to show how the family can be important in what otherwise might seem to be individual decisions.
Key recommendations include:
The guidance contains a list of key topics that should be discussed as part of the consent process for genetic testing.
These include the potential benefits of genetic investigation in a family member for close relatives and how, then, certain aspects of information might be communicated to them as well as how to deal with uncertain or unexpected findings from genetic testing.
Anneke Lucassen, professor of clinical genetics at University of Southampton said:
"As genetic practice expands and is no longer the sole preserve of regional genetics services, the issues around consent and confidentiality are becoming directly relevant to mainstream medical specialties, including general practice. Many healthcare professionals are uncertain what they can or cannot disclose to family members.
Alison Hall from the PHG Foundation, a genetics policy thinktank, commented:
"Patients are content to undergo tests and to entrust confidential information to professionals in order to ensure that they get sound advice and treatment. The distinguishing feature in clinical genetics is that much of this information affects not only the individual patient but also other family members.
In this report we have described how health professionals can balance the interests of their patients and their relatives whilst still taking account of the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998 and the Human Tissue Act 2004."

Here is a question for those of you out there who have experienced this problem. When a clutch plate begins to wear out... what does it feel like? I know a lot of people refer to 'slipping' but I honestly don't know what that would feel like, what conditions might exagerate the signs, etc.
I have a 2001 5 spd with around 130k on the clock and I'm noticing wierd little 'slips' that feel like something is loosing traction when I accelerate at certain times. Wanted to hear what signs you all noticed before having to replace the clutch for comparison.

Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry (also know as FoxConn Technology Group) says it is planning to build electric cars that will cost just $15,000, according to The China Post. The world's largest electronics maker, which assembles mobile devices for Apple, promises that the cars will be highly connected. "When integrated with cloud computing, the Internet, smart traffic and smart cities in the future, people will be able to drive more easily and reduce car accidents more efficiently," says Hon Hai chairman Terry Gou. At a shareholder's meeting, Gou didn't comment on production timing or other details about the cars, nor would he answer questions about possible cooperation with Tesla Motors. Hon Hai made headlines in recent years after a series of employee suicides, which led the company to raise worker wages and install anti-suicide netting on its buildings.
EV advocates in Illinois took a 500-mile road trip to help temper range anxiety in potential buyers, says the Chicago Tribune. The demonstration, organized by the Illinois Green Economy Network, meant to show people that they can use electric vehicles to drive long distances without getting stranded with a dead battery. The drive began near Carbondale and traveled to 11 different community colleges with charging stations before terminating in Grayslake. Illinois has about 5,000 registered electric vehicles, and 450 public and private charging stations.
General Motors is building three acres of new solar arrays to produce an expected 400,000 kilowatt-hours of renewable energy per year. The new arrays at GM's Swartz Creek processing center and Flint engine plant will be completed this fall, contributing to the company's 38 megawatts of solar power from facilities around the world. By 2020, GM hopes to be using 125 megawatts of renewable energy, which includes landfill gas and biomass energy use. GM received a Project of Distinction Award from the Solar Energy Industries Association and Solar Electric Power Association at the annual PV America East Expo in Boston for its solar microgrid in Baltimore. GM is the automotive leader in solar use, according to SEIA, and among the top 25 US companies. Read on for more details in the press release, below.
Company also earns solar industry recognition for Smart Grid project
BOSTON – General Motors is increasing its renewable energy use with 3 acres of new solar arrays at two Michigan facilities.
The company's processing center in Swartz Creek and engine plant in Flint will feature 150-kilowatt ground-mount solar arrays expected to generate a combined 400,000 kilowatt hours of renewable energy per year to the facilities' grids. That is equivalent to the annual energy use of 25 homes.
After the projects are complete this fall, GM will house more than 38 megawatts of solar power at 13 facilities around the world and more than 60 megawatts of renewable energy globally when combined with its landfill gas and biomass energy use.
The new installations bring GM closer to reaching its goal to increase renewable energy use globally to 125 megawatts by 2020.
"Ever since our first solar array in 2006, GM has realized the benefits of renewable energy," said Rob Threlkeld, GM global renewable energy manager. "Not only does it reduce our emissions and lessen our dependence on petroleum, it makes a statement about the role businesses can play in securing a cleaner energy future."
GM announced its plans for the installations this week in Boston at the annual PV America East Expo, a conference bringing together professionals, manufacturers and service providers in the photovoltaic energy industry.
Conference organizers Solar Energy Industries Association and Solar Electric Power Association recognized GM with a Project of Distinction Award – the highest achievement for a photovoltaic solar energy project – for the integrated solar microgrid system at the company's plant in Baltimore.
GM, OnStar and energy service company TimberRock Energy Solutions, Inc. partnered to use aggregation software and solar charging canopies with integrated storage to manage the flow of solar power to benefit the electric grid, operated by PJM Interconnection. The site also is home to a 1.237MW rooftop solar array – one of the largest in Maryland – that generates nearly 6 percent of the facility's electric consumption.
"Through collaboration and innovation, GM, OnStar, PJM and TimberRock have teamed up to give Americans a peek into the future," said SEIA President and CEO Rhone Resch. "The advanced, solar microgrid at GM's Baltimore site is a state-of-the-art union of electric vehicle, solar power and battery storage technologies. This project's unique vehicle-to-grid integration, utilizing a solar microgrid, makes it a worthy recipient of the 2014 Project of Distinction Award."
According to SEIA, GM leads all automakers in the number of solar installations in the U.S. and ranks among the top U.S. corporate solar users in 2013 and 2012. It named GM a "Solar Champion" for the company's significant impact on establishing a strong solar industry.
GM's other U.S. solar installations include:
- A 1.8-megawatt installation at Toledo Transmission, Ohio's largest rooftop array.
- A 1-megawatt array at its Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. distribution center, the nation's first 1-megawatt public solar project.
- A 516-kilowatt installation at Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly, Michigan's largest ground-mount solar array.
- A 900-kilowatt rooftop array on its Fontana, Calif. parts distribution warehouse.
- A 350-kilowatt ground-mount array at Orion Assembly in Lake Orion, Mich.
- A 49-kilowatt ground-mount array at GM's Technical Center in Warren, Mich.

'Car of the Future' Is Here. Now.
Toyota Shows Production Fuel Cell Vehicle; Previews Mobility's Future at 2014 Aspen Ideas Festival
Toyota's Driver Awareness Research Vehicle, DARV 1.5, demonstrating ways for the car and driver to share tasks and reduce distraction
ASPEN, Colo., June 27, 2014 – Driving helps make lives safer, greener and more convenient at Toyota's "Experience the Future of Mobility" exhibit, open now at the 2014 Aspen Ideas Festival. Toyota is staging the North American debut of its "Car of the Future" at the annual conference. Unveiled earlier this week at a press conference in Japan, the zero-emission hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV) will be available for sale to customers in California in summer 2015.
True to the Festival's 2014 focus on imagining the future, the Toyota FCV is an important step forward for zero-emission vehicle technology. An electric-drive, mid-size, four-door sedan, the vehicle won't require customers to compromise on safety, price or performance. Instead, the FCV will travel approximately 300 miles on a single fill-up of hydrogen, which takes less than five minutes.
In addition, Toyota is taking steps to ensure that owners of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will be able to fill their tanks, no matter what brand is on the hood. In May, the company announced it had entered a financial relationship with FirstElement Fuels to support the long-term operation and maintenance of 19 new hydrogen refueling stations in California.
"Our society is on the cusp of a revolution in personal mobility," said Osamu Nagata, President and CEO of Toyota Motor Engineering and Manufacturing North America. "Slowly but surely, new technologies are changing how we think about automobiles and transportation -- from intelligent, automated systems that team up with drivers to improve safety, to zero-emission vehicles that emit nothing but water vapor. These technologies will help save lives, improve the environment, create jobs and help the U.S. maintain technical leadership in a field that is an important contributor to economic growth."
Nagata will discuss the company's vision for the future of mobility on the Festival's main stage on June 28 during a one-on-one interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin, Financial Columnist, Editor-at-Large, New York Times; Co-anchor, CNBC's "Squawk Box."
In addition to the FCV, Toyota is presenting a comprehensive vision for the Future of Mobility with an interactive exhibit that brings to life emerging automated vehicle technologies and cutting-edge safety research.
The display includes a preview of the Toyota's newest generation Driver Awareness Research Vehicle (DARV 1.5), part of the company's ongoing research into the dynamics of driver distraction at the Collaborative Safety Research Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The Toyota DARV 1.5 uses advanced technology, including Microsoft's Surface and Kinect and custom biometric software and algorithms by Infosys, to help driver, passengers and the vehicle itself work together as a team to achieve safer driving.
The technology allows for features such as "driver lock-in," which tracks the driver's body frame and automatically enables or disables features based upon who is interacting with the navigation panel. The Toyota research vehicle also explores new ways to use emerging wearable devices, such as smart watches, to control key vehicle functions in an effort to understand the potential impact of these devices on auto safety. In addition, the Toyota DARV 1.5 looks at new ways to create a safer driving environment by measuring driver behavior and providing a driving "score" based on safe driving choices.
Aspen Ideas Festival attendees will also experience:
A large interactive wall that uses image capture to display the activity of visitors moving about the exhibit, while sharing how next-generation automated safety technologies will team up with drivers to improve safety;
Educational information about the technologies, a fueling station to enjoy pour-over coffee, and outdoor living room relaxation area.
Toyota is a presenting underwriter of the tenth annual Aspen Ideas Festival, the nation's premier, public gathering place for leaders from around the globe and across many disciplines to engage in deep and inquisitive discussion of the ideas and issues that both shape our lives and challenge our times.
About Toyota

NEW YORK (AP) — From Martha Washington to Michelle Obama, C-SPAN is taking a look at first ladies.
On Monday, the public service network is launching a 35-part series on first ladies that will stretch for a year. Almost all of the first ladies will get a single 90-minute episode.
Executive Producer Mark Farkas says the stories are an interesting way to look at political and social history. Dolly Madison and Eleanor Roosevelt were very influential. There also have been tragic figures, like Jane Pierce, whose son was killed shortly before husband Franklin's inauguration. She didn't make an appearance as first lady for two years.
C-SPAN is working with the White House Historical Association on the series.

text: When you're looking for a relaxing vacation, a question that usually doesn't often come to mind is "how do people sleep there?" but maybe it should be asked. If you're looking to relax and take a load off, you're going to want to sleep even better than you do on your comfortable botanical mattress at home. Sleeping in a new environment can be tough at first, but if you find the right place, it makes things a lot easier. Whether you're looking to plan a trip or just fantasizing about it, let's spend this Friday looking at some of the world's best places to get a good night of sleep.

Freedom Fighter's Quest Leads to New Sequel's Remarkable Inquiries
In his book, Winding Paths to Freedom, published in 2008, Roman Mac described a tough, fascinating life as a teenage Ukrainian freedom fighter during and after World War II. In Worshipers of a Politically Incorrect God he presents a sequel to his story. Here he reviews some of the events of his earlier book and adds much more on his transition to life in the West. He mentions the fears and frustrations encountered in a new environment where freedom affords opportunities for all - including enemy spies or people who want to exploit him.
Roman Mac recounts events from his days as a young guerrilla that keep haunting him and provides deep insights into the emotional turmoil that keeps him depressed. To alleviate severe anxiety over man's inhumanity to man, he searches for God's help and finds it in nature. In time, he studies writings of philosophers at Columbia University and realizes that the writings of Baruch Spinoza, a seventeenth century philosopher, which equate nature to God, are closest to his own belief. This understanding helps him alleviate some of his anxieties. While his understanding of God-Nature, Nature-God deepens, he continues to appreciate and support the traditional Christian beliefs even as some believers do not agree with his outlook.
The new freedoms the author has found in the U.S. provide him opportunities to learn about history and geopolitics, especially as it has affected his homeland. He expresses bitterness over that and brings out other governmental insensitivities, causing his anxieties to re-surface. As his reflections continue, Roman recounts his service in the U.S. Army and its proud heritage. Following his Army service, he returns to New York City where he studies music and graduates on the GI Bill. He finds that he is now better able to resist people who pressure him to get involved in clandestine operations. He pursues his musical talents and his acquired skills to repair musical instruments. In time he establishes his own business that provides him with a livelihood for life.

Cartwright, Nancy (2009) Evidence-based policy: what's to be done about relevance? Philosophical Studies, 143 (1). pp. 127-136. ISSN 0031-8116
How can philosophy of science be of more practical use? One thing we can do is provide practicable advice about how to determine when one empirical claim is relevant to the truth of another; i.e., about evidential relevance. This matters especially for evidence-based policy, where advice is thin—and misleading—about how to tell what counts as evidence for policy effectiveness. This paper argues that good efficacy results (as in randomized controlled trials), which are all the rage now, are only a very small part of the story. To tell what facts are relevant for judging policy effectiveness, we need to construct causal scenarios about will happen when the policy is implemented.

VIDEO: The trailer for 12
Veteran Russian director Nikolai Mikhalkov's 12 leaves the "Angry Men" out of the title of his remake of the Sidney Lumet courtroom classic. Feel free to replace it with "Hammy Actors."
Never known for his restraint, Mikhalkov takes kitschy liberties with the stark drama about a jury deliberating the fate of a minority youth (a Chechen in place of the generic ethnic in the original) who's being tried for murder. He throws in the war in the Caucasus, the Russian mob, gratuitous references to Yojimbo, and bathetic set pieces from each of the dozen increasingly emoting jury members.
After the mealy-mouthed liberal juror's sob story about drunkenness and redemption, the racist cab driver's weepy confession of drunkenness and child abuse, the repeated flashbacks to body-draped streets in Chechnya, and such overt symbols as a trapped sparrow (the best performance in the movie) and a leaky steam pipe, the verdict on this one has to be guilty by reason of inanity.

2005 Jeep Powertrain Warranty Transfer
Hello All. I am new to this forum. I need a little guidance about an engine and transmission issue.
I purchased my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee from a dealer a few years back but it wasn't new. I was the second buyer. Recently my engine failed and I was under the assumption that I had the 7 year 70,000 mile powertrain warranty, however, Chrysler said that it was modified to a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty upon transfer to me. Is there anything I can do at this point to get this engine failure covered under the original warranty? I do not believe the dealer (wholesale) who I bought it from mentioned that I would lose part of the warranty.
Re: 2005 Jeep Powertrain Warranty Transfer
Your best bet is goinng to be to call chrysler and be nice and beg for some kind of assistance.
stupid story, completely unrelated that will reiterate my point. My oldest sister just got married. I was in her wedding, tux and all. I thought for sure I had till sunday to retun the tux (wedding was friday night), when I returned it sunday I was informed I owed 25 dollars in a late fee. I mentioned that I thought for sure I was told it was due back sunday but decided it wasnt worth the fight considering I was sure if I looked at my paperwork it would probably say "due saturday" on it.
Whats the point of that story you ask? Its a crappy situation for you all around, but know that chrysler and the dealer have the upper hand. You can bitch and moan and freak out all you want, but when you look at your paperwork that YOU signed you know as well as I do that it will state what you were told... It is not up to the dealer to read the contract to you, its up to you to read through it, understand it, and be ok with it prior to signing. Im not trying to sound like a douche, I am being the voice of reality.
If you are lucky chrysler will assist you with the cost (just dont expect it to be free).
Btw, what caused the failure, and what engine is it?
Re: 2005 Jeep Powertrain Warranty Transfer
If the original owner had a 7y/70k powertrain warranty on the vehicle, you needed to transfer the powertrain warranty within 30 days after you purchased the vehicle at a cost of $150. If you purchased your vehicle from a Chrysler dealership, they should have told you to transfer it but I guess it is not their responsibility to do so. Hopefully you can get this worked out.
Look at page 387 in your manual for the timeline illustration of the warranty transfer information.
The same illustration is in the warranty book on page 1 and the following statement is made in the warranty booklet on page 7 in Section 2.2.
2.2 Powertrain Limited Warranty
A. Who is Covered?
You are covered by the Powertrain Limited Warranty if you are the first purchaser for use of the vehicle. You are also covered if you are the second purchaser for use of the vehicle, and have paid the $150 transfer fee within 30 days of purchase. See Section 2.2.F for more information about transfer of coverage."
We bought our 05 wk and I just happen to ask if it did have any remaining warranty. They told me about the 7/70 and was able to transfer. They also told us that it's fully transferable but do need to do
it ASAP if we waited. We ended getting a Jeep service contract to extend the warranty for 5/70 and they didn't charge for original warranty transfer. I honestly think that your going to have a hard time getting them to cover it. Did the dealer you bought it from state on the "As is" sheet that you had remaining factory warranty? Or did he state no warranty but optional warranty was available?
Re: 2005 Jeep Powertrain Warranty Transfer
if you didnt pay the $150 transfer fee when you bought it, you are SOL

It's such a pity games like these have to die with time.
It would have been great to see well developed mods for this game, fixes, new creatures, maps, miracles, etc. Does anyone still play this from time to time?
Like its wildly successful predecessor, Black & White, the sequel is all about moral choices. The land, however, has transformed itself. The inhabitants of this breathtaking 3D world have lost their innocence and developed new weapons and technology. As you enter this warring world, will you make tribes coexist peacefully; encouraging villages and towns to grow into sprawling metropolises, or prompt them to inflict their will upon others by, creating and commanding large armies that seek to dominate and conquer? Creatures in the game have grown too. They can learn strategies, master new abilities and skills, lead armies into battle and be your ultimate unit. Black & White 2 includes other new elements, such as improved graphics and miracle effects such as rivers of fire and earthquakes that yield massive destruction. Every choice you make will have an impact. Each action and inactions prompts obvious changes to buildings, flora and fauna, all morphing to reflect your personality.

This game is pretty good, graphics are fantastic for a seven year old game but it's very disappointing compared to black and white 1, the first game was more....i dunno why but it gave out a good atmosphere, and to be honest again...graphics on that are still good today, black and white 1 had more of a story and you actually got to fight people your level and you had temples, well...."Focus of your power" Temples, so the second one is a very big disappointment, but it is cool with some mods.

Do Not Order a Hot Water Heater from Sears. This is the only Company they use in Southern Nevada. There practices are very suspect with extra charging without total explanation.

Re: st: simulate consequences of selection bias 101

I meant to say "selection on the dependent variable". I wanted to let the students see that we might even get a sign flip if we select on the dependent variable and run a regression of the range-restricted Y on X.
Thanks for the references.

Thomas Gschwend <email@example.com>:
You seem to be using the term "selection bias" in a somewhat
nonstandard way ("virtues of selection bias" is certainly an odd turn
of phrase)--do you have in mind selection on the dependent variable?
Or the classic form of selection bias (selection on unobservables, or
omitted "confounding" variables, leading to endogeneity of X) which
could be modeled as a neglected nonlinearity in X for your case?
range x -3 6 100
expand 80 if x<0
g y=x^2 +invnorm(uniform())
reg y x
reg y x if y>10
reg y x if x>0
lpoly y x
In this simple case, the omitted variable is clearly just X^2.
See SJ7(4):507-541
[http://www.stata-journal.com/article.html?article=st0136] for an
inventory of common solutions for endogeneity of X.
A nice example of sign reversal due to omitted variables that students
can easily understand is given in Julious and Mullee (1994) citing
Charig et al. (1986):
Tell students they each have a kidney stone. In past cases, treatment
OS (open surgery) had a success rate of 78% while treatment PN
(percutaneous nephrolithotomy) had a success rate of 83% overall. Ask
them which treatment they would choose. Now tell them the success
rates look rather different when stone size is taken into account. For
smaller stones (diameter <2 cm), 93% of cases treated with OS were
successful compared with just 83% of cases treated with PN. For larger
stones (diameter >=2 cm), the success rate of OS was 73% and the
success rate of PN was 69%. Now which would they choose, even not
knowing which size stone they have?
Always good to put death on the table as a possible outcome of omitted
variables bias in regression.

b1 = -.5 and significantly < 0

I am not sure how to do simulate data that fulfills both requirements.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

It's called Over-sized Fishbowl and it's part of the Diamond Beach Mansion Bundle 3, which Diamond Beach Yacht owners can get for free in the first 10 days(meaning you have until Saturday), or it can be purchased anytime for $9.99. The item it was standing on is not part of the Over-sized Fishbowl or the Diamond Beach Mansion Bundle 3; it looks like it might be from mini-bots, but I'm not positive.
Re: JAM JAR Apartment
At first I wasn't really impressed by the Jam Jar but I did have an idea on what to do with it. After working on my idea for a few hours I was able to turn my space into a high end fashion/ movie memoribilia shop. I have to say it came out rather nice.
If anyone wants a tour I will be on most of the day today. Woo Hoo weekends!
