Chapter 15
Later on that night, after the police had come and the excitement over Biggs' discovery had reverberated throughout the neighborhood, Markoff found himself standing next to his son looking across a dimly lit tent in the direction of Baby Man. Outside, his wife and daughter were sitting at a picnic table eating cotton candy. Here beneath a dirty-striped canopy he watched the freak scream and be pelted with eggs. It was a disgusting site.
The man bordered on being morbidly obese. He wore a diaper and a bonnet in an oversized crib that was set ten feet behind a metal barricade. Red and orange lights shined up at him as he sat cross legged just as an infant would. He was covered in slime and broken egg shells, crying and sucking his thumb. The children laughed and taunted him.
Markoff hadn't wanted to do this but the carnival was only in town through this weekend and he'd planned on spending most of it either playing golf or out working on his deer lease. The cops that were walking in and out of their cars and taking measurements in the Biggs' backyard had been all the inspiration that he'd needed to get away from the house and have the whole thing over with tonight. The added fact that Kinkaid had wanted to tag along and see Baby Man for himself only made the outing all the more easier to bear.
The builder watched as his neighbor hurled the six eggs that he had been given at the entrance in rapid succession. Each one hit the grotesque man somewhere on or near his head. Baby Man wailed as they slowly dripped off of him.
"Hot damn!" Kinkaid spat punching Markoff on the shoulder. "I ought to go get some more and just keep throwing them at this sorry bastard all night long. This is fun."
The builder nodded and patted his son on the arm. "Alright, aim higher than you think you need to." He told the boy.
He watched as the child gleefully cocked his arm and let an egg fly. The first one fell wide missing the man entirely.
"Straighten it up." He advised.
When he'd married Myrah six years ago she'd barely been old enough to legally drink but she'd already come with this four year old boy. He was younger then and less mischievous but the builder's relationship to the child had always been defined by a nervous power struggle between the two of them. The first full month that they'd lived together in the same house the kid had pretty much tried to drive Markoff away from his mother every second of the day.
The builder would come down in the mornings to find his shoes pissed in or a pile of blueprints lying torn and scribbled all over in his study. The boy always claimed innocence and Myrah favored him so much that there was little that Markoff could do in the way of discipline. It took time, video games, new bikes, and an entire collection of beeping robot toys before the kid started to forget his real father and give the builder the kind of respect that he needed in order to live under the same roof. In a sense, he'd bought her sons love fair and square.
He watched as his son side-armed another egg in the direction of the freak. It glanced off the bars of the crib and fell in a moist hulk on the floor.
"Why'd you do that?" Markoff asked leaning in close to the boy. "You know you ain't got no aim throwing like that."
The kid nodded.
The builder was younger when he'd met Myrah but still relatively well off. He'd had a few properties on the outskirts of town that had sold for well above their market value and still more on the way. The suburban sprawl had rapidly crept outwards from the borders of Houston and he'd somehow monopolized the areas commercial construction. He had a nice house, a new truck and money in the bank.
They'd been introduced to one another through the family of a foreman that had been working for Markoff at the time. He'd been invited to a Quinceañera that was being held for the man's daughter and while there his own kid had played with her son all evening long. Back then Myrah was nothing but a shy, soft spoken little Mexican girl who was taking classes in cosmetology and wearing second hand dresses. He found her remarkably attractive and felt the need to take care of her.
At his side the boy quickly rocketed two eggs at the freak. Both of them hit him on the right arm. Baby Man glanced down and sucked his thumb.
Markoff hadn't wanted to get remarried. The builder had vowed never to do that ever again after his first wife had run off and left him to raise their daughter all alone. She'd just vanished one day with a redneck idiot who'd gotten rich leasing shrimp boats all along the gulf coast. They'd been drinking buddies together when the man was in Galveston for the summers. He owned a vacation home out on West Beach and Markoff had met him through the some early work that he'd done remodeling one of the man's bait camps to look like a gigantic wave.
One day about eight years ago, the bank had come and called Markoff's notes on a few of his fledgling properties. The event had damn near sunk him and once he'd settled them and financed all of his existing projects himself both he and his wife were penniless for a time. She'd dealt with this set back by taking up residence in that bastard's mansion somewhere out by Shreveport. She still got to see his daughter four times a year but only because the builder hadn't had enough money to hire a better attorney for the divorce at the time.
Markoff looked at his son. "Slow down and think about where you're throwing." He said.
"Screw that." The boy spat. "Mr. Kinkaid didn't look and he hit him every time."
The builder watched as the boy hurled an egg in a high arch over the man's head.
"Slow down." He said sternly.
The problem with Markoff's plan to evade ever having to get remarried was that Myrah was very protective of the boy. She wanted insurance that theirs was not just another short term relationship that would end once the builder got tired of her. She might have been soft spoken when they'd first met but she'd told him almost from the beginning that he'd better not be wasting her time. She wielded the boy like a weapon over their courtship and included him on almost all of their dates. Markoff didn't know what to do.
As they saw one another more and more Markoff continued to look after his daughter, build shopping centers and promise Myrah his devotion. One day, she told him that she wished that there was a grocery store somewhere closer to the apartment where she and her son lived. He built her one a mile and a half away.
For the grand opening they'd left the children with a sitter. The gleaming aisles were stocked with freshly delivered bounty. Myrah said that it was the nicest thing that anyone had ever done for her. Markoff bought her a ring the morning after and they were married in the summer on the beach while a tropical storm loomed on the horizon.
In the tent Markoff watched as slowly their son cocked his arm back and forth gauging his pitch before releasing his final egg. The white shell flew through the air in a tight arch before coming down directly on the freaks forehead. Baby Man flinched and began to wail loudly.
"Hell yeah!" Kinkaid shouted holding his palm out for the boy to slap. "Way to make that stupid gimp cry!"
"Good job son." The builder said. He patted him gently on the head and for a moment Markoff forgot about everything that annoyed him about being this child's father.

A Daesung Entertainment copresident was on vacation in Hawaii, when he saw a young Eun Ji Won and Kang Sung Hoon dancing. Kim Jae Duc and Lee Jae Jin were in a dance group called 'Quicksilvers' in their home town of Busan. One of the members sent in a tape to Daesung. Juno (Who was in Seo Taiji and Boys at the time) called in Jae Duc for his group called The Young Turks Club, but he decided Jae Duc did not fit, so he sent Jae Duc to DSP and they cast him in. Lee Jae Jin stayed behind to help Quicksilvers, but Jae Duc insisted DSP to cast him. During an open audition, Jang Su Won was cast and accepted. Finally, Ko Ji Yong was introduced to DSP by Sung Hoon as they had been friends since elementary.
Black Kies and White Kies
The group is divided into 2 sets of 3 members, the "Black Kies" and the "White Kies". The "Black Kies" mostly did the rapping and the "White Kies" would do the vocals. Though they were both seen dancing, they often appeared in constellations separating the "white" from the "black" ones. Black Kies were the three older members of the band, while White Kies were the younger members.

Eun Ji Won (ì€ì§€ì›, leader, rap, vocals)

On Friday night after work, I go to Topshop. I spend hundreds there every month. When I go out on Saturday, I have to wear something new. I've got wardrobes and cupboards like you wouldn't believe. My stepdad goes mad: "You've loads of dresses and you only wear them once!" When my boyfriend sees me with a bag, I'm like, "That's just got work clothes in it." He's like, "You've got a real obsession with Topshop." I do.
I do feel bad about the waste. Every so often, Mum will be like, "Right, we're doing a car boot." I end up giving things away that are brand new. I feel guilty. I've been quite good these last few weeks. Apart from the other Friday, when I bought a top, a pair of trousers and some jewellery. I stop for a bit, then I go back.
I love Reflex in Croydon on Saturday night. It's my place. My friends and I go every week, and see the same people there, mostly around our age, but I've seen people with banners for their 50th birthdays. It's relaxed, you can have a laugh and they play great 80s music.
I don't drink. Normally because I'm driving, but also because I don't need a drink to get up and dance. I have a better night without it. On Sunday morning, I ring up my friends and I'm like, "Do you know what you did last night?" Because I don't drink, I see everything.

A small but enthusiastic band of runners and spectators braved the cold weather on Shrove Tuesday to take part in the Peterborough Cathedral Pancake Race.
Equipped with pancakes freshly prepared by The Fenland Roaster, the race was started by The Deputy Mayoress, Christine Wilson. The runners included the Deputy Mayor, Councillor Keith Sharp, as well as contenders from the arts organisation Metal Peterborough and Vivacity Culture and Leisure, and two Cathedral Canons wearing cassocks.
Setting off at a cracking pace, the runners followed the route around the east end of the building and back through the Cloisters. Some slowed their pace until the home straight, but not Sarah Haythornthwaite and Kevin Tighe who were declared the winners.
The race provided much good humour and laughter especially when watching back the video footage of Canons Jonathan Baker and Ian Black, ceremonially led by the Head Verger David Wood (scroll down to view). Well done and thank you to all concerned.
Many thanks to Paul Marriott for the photo.

Review/Music; Percussion in 3 Modes
By PETER WATROUS
Published: October 13, 1988
Saturday night's concert at Aaron Davis Hall, at City College - the first event of a month's worth of events sponsored by the Caribbean Cultural Center - resounded with the sounds of drums. Three different groups, Babatunde Olatunji and his Drums of Passion, a trio of drummers from New Orleans and the Cuban percussionist Daniel Ponce, all lighted the stage in different ways.
Mr. Olatunji and his six-member group performed Nigerian tribal music on various drums. He sang in the Yoruban tribal language, invoking a choral response from his group, and clouds of drumming. Each piece had different rhythms, from a loping, easy beat to intense patterns. Mr. Olatunji sang several chants with an open-throated holler that would have fit in at a Mississippi roadhouse, and he took obvious pleasure in playing that infected the audience with good will.
The next group - Ed Blackwell, Vernel Fournier and Earl Palmer -represented the drum tradition of New Orleans. Mr. Blackwell and Mr. Fournier came out on stage tapping away on small cymbals, and after the three drummers sat behind their drums, they set up webs of rhythms that resembled, in its complexity, the music made by Mr. Olatunji's group.
The concert's purpose was to show the similarities between the music played all over the black diaspora; it also showed the differences. The trio swung, and swung hard, where Mr. Olatunji's group did not. With Mr. Palmer, a forceful, hard drummer propelling the music, the trio at times sounded like a rhythm-and-blues group, setting up drum riffs the way a band might set up its horn riffs.
Mr. Ponce and his group, which included an electric bassist, a saxophonist, a trumpeter, a pianist and two other percussionists, came out next. They played a furious hybrid of jazz and Latin music, changing from straight-ahead jazz rhythms to Latin rhythms at will. Mr. Ponce, like the rest of the drummers featured in the show, is a spectacular drummer who can move a crowd without any superficial showmanship. He has integrity, as does his music, and the audience responded to it.

Actions Without Thought
I watched him from the windowseat.
He came out the back screen door, not shutting it quietly like he normally did, but slamming it shut with a quiet fury.
Even from a distance, I could tell that something bad had happened.
Especially when he passed the orange tree and walked into the surf.
He didn't stop after the water hit his ankles, his knees, or his torso. He started to swim out into the ocean, the blue expanse that I had just taken a picture of yesterday.
Something wasn't right here.
I ran outside, past the orange tree, and to the edge of the waters, more turbulent than they had been yesterday.
"Stop!" I screamed, but he kept going like he hadn't heard.
He was at least 100 yards out by now, and I kept screaming at him to come back, but his swimming became even stronger as he battled the waves with a fierce energy.
There was only one thing to do...
I ripped off my flip-flops and jumped in to the water, chasing after him. Hopefully, the lifeguard training would help, because I could tell there was no way he was coming back.

FORMER NSW five-eighth Matt Johns believes James Maloney will retain the Blues No. 6 jersey for the State of Origin series opener on May 28, providing he is fit.
If Maloney doesn't return in time from a shoulder injury, it's likely to be a choice between Josh Reynolds and Jarrod Mullen for the role of Mitchell Pearce's halves partner at Suncorp Stadium.
"There's no doubt (NSW coach Laurie Daley) is going to go with Mitchell Pearce — he's already declared that," Johns told foxsports.com.au.
"I have a feeling that if Maloney's fit, (Daley) will go with Maloney to keep that combination with Pearce. But if not Maloney, away from form, it's wholly and solely what Laurie's looking for."
Facing off in last week's City v Country clash, Johns says the duo effectively cancelled each other out with Reynolds scoring a try, while Mullen set up one and kicked a 40-20.
"If Maloney's not fit — it's wholly and solely what Laurie wants," he said.
"If he wants finesse and skill, he'll go with Mullen. But if he wants a bull at a gate and a bloke who motors in determination, he'll go with Reynolds. They both were probably seven out of 10 (on Sunday)."
South Sydney playmaker John Sutton was rested over the weekend and is understood to be an unlikely candidate despite NSW having their best success in Origin with a bigger player in the halves.
"He's played some really good football," Johns said of Sutton.
"If I'm being totally honest, I would have put him on the bench last year. I think there's real opportunity there for Sutton, but I'm just not hearing his name out there and that's telling."
The No. 6 is not the only position in which Daley faces a selection dilemma, with a place on the wing still up for grabs.
While Kangaroo Brett Morris is certain to secure one edge, the second is yet to be claimed amid a host of challengers including Daniel Tupou, Jorge Taufua, James McManus, Akuila Uate and Will Hopoate in the running.
Josh Morris and Michael Jennings are favourites to be the centre pairing, although Jennings is sidelined with an ankle injury.
Daley also has the dilemma of whether to play Jarryd Hayne or Josh Dugan at fullback.
Daley is understood to be a big fan of Hayne as a fullback, however Maroons star Greg Inglis has a simple solution.
"If I was NSW (selector) I would be putting (Hayne at right centre) and Dugan at fullback," Inglis told the Matty Johns show.
Inglis will play in the centres with Billy Slater at fullback for Queensland, and while their positions have been the topic of discussion in recent weeks, Inglis says the Melbourne custodian is the right man to wear the No.1.
"As long as Billy is healthy and fit, he's going to be fullback," Inglis said.
"That's the way it is … we know where we stand."
For Queensland, hulking backrower Josh Papalii seems likely to face the axe after struggling to find form since injuring his ankle against the Knights earlier this season.
Playing in the Intrust Super Cup on Sunday in a bid to regain form and save his place in the Queensland side, the 110kg giant was uninspiring.
Papalii has two more NRL games against the Warriors and Penrith to save his Queensland jumper, but Dave Taylor is putting pressure on the Canberra star, pushing for an Origin recall following a two-year hiatus.
Meanwhile, the Blues have received some good news this week with hooker Robbie Farah on track to return from a nasty elbow injury which threatened to rule him out of game one.

Good Morning, Midnight
By Lily Brooks Dalton | Random House, 2016
Augustine, a brilliant, aging astronomer, is consumed by the stars. For years he has lived in remote outposts, studying the sky for evidence of how the universe began. At his latest posting, in a research center in the Arctic, news of a catastrophic event arrives. The scientists are forced to evacuate, but Augustine stubbornly refuses to abandon his work. Shortly after the others have gone, Augustine discovers a mysterious child, Iris, and realizes that the airwaves have gone silent. They are alone.
At the same time, Mission Specialist Sullivan is aboard the Aether on its return flight from Jupiter. The astronauts are the first human beings to delve this deep into space, and Sully has made peace with the sacrifices required of her: a daughter left behind, a marriage ended. So far the journey has been a success. But when Mission Control falls inexplicably silent, Sully and her crewmates are forced to wonder if they will ever get home.
As Augustine and Sully each face an uncertain future against forbidding yet beautiful landscapes, their stories gradually intertwine in a profound and unexpected conclusion. In crystalline prose, Good Morning, Midnight poses the most important questions: What endures at the end of the world? How do we make sense of our lives? Lily Brooks-Dalton's captivating debut is a meditation on the power of love and the bravery of the human heart.
The ADHD Advantage: What You Thought Was a Diagnosis May Be Your Greatest Strength
By Dale Archer | Penguin Random House, 2015
For decades physicians delivered the diagnosis of ADHD to patients as bad news and warned them about a lifelong struggle of managing symptoms. But The ADHD Advantage explodes this outlook, showing that some of the most highly successful entrepreneurs, leaders, and entertainers have reached the pinnacle of success not in spite of their ADHD but because of it.
The Book of Times: From Seconds to Centuries, a Compendium of Measures
By Lesley Alderman | William Morrow, 2013
An endlessly fascinating, beautifully designed survey of time—how long things take, how long things last, and how we spend our days.
The Pursuit of Happyness
By Chris Gardner | Amistad, 2006
Winner: NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work (Biography/Autobriography)
At the age of twenty, Milwaukee native Chris Gardner, just out of the Navy, arrived in San Francisco to pursue a promising career in medicine. Considered a prodigy in scientific research, he surprised everyone and himself by setting his sights on the competitive world of high finance. Yet no sooner had he landed an entry-level position at a prestigious firm than Gardner found himself caught in a web of incredibly challenging circumstances that left him as part of the city's working homeless and with a toddler son. Motivated by the promise he made to himself as a fatherless child to never abandon his own children, the two spent almost a year moving among shelters, "HO-tels," soup lines, and even sleeping in the public restroom of a subway station.
Never giving in to despair, Gardner made an astonishing transformation from being part of the city's invisible poor to being a powerful player in its financial district.
More than a memoir of Gardner's financial success, this is the story of a man who breaks his own family's cycle of men abandoning their children. Mythic, triumphant, and unstintingly honest, The Pursuit of Happyness conjures heroes like Horatio Alger and Antwone Fisher, and appeals to the very essence of the American Dream.
The Memory Palace
By Mira Bartok | Free Press, 2011
A New York Times Bestseller; Winner: National Book Critics Circle Award (Autobiography)
In the tradition of The Glass Castle, two sisters confront schizophrenia in this poignant literary memoir about family and mental illness. Through stunning prose and original art, The Memory Palace captures the love between mother and daughter, the complex meaning of truth, and family's capacity for forgiveness.
Eva's Kitchen: Cooking with Love for Family and Friends
By Eva Longoria | Clarkson Potter/Random House, 2011
Eva Longoria may be most recognized for her role as Desperate Housewives' saucy Gabrielle Solis, but on her own time, there are few places she would rather be than in the kitchen, cooking the food she loves for her family and friends. Here is the food Eva loves to eat, and the recipes in Eva's Kitchen trace her life story, taking readers on her culinary journey—from the food she was brought up on to the recipes inspired by her travels abroad to the dishes she serves during casual nights at home.
Having grown up on a ranch with every meal based on what was in the family fields, Eva believes, like so many of us, that good cooking relies on local, fresh, easy-to-find ingredients. In Eva's Kitchen, she teaches readers essential cooking skills and she sprinkles in the histories and traditions behind her favorite dishes, including personal stories and anecdotes that capture the warmth, humor, and joy of her most memorable meals.
In her first cookbook, Eva welcomes you into her kitchen, offering 100 of her favorite dishes—many of which are family recipes collected over the years—all fused with her passion for cooking. She also shares memories of her Texas ranch upbringing, her very first cooking adventures, vacations overseas, nights in with her girlfriends, and last-minute pre–red carpet meals.

Since all of the vehicles covered by this information utilize electronic fuel injection systems, the idle speed and mixture settings are controlled by the vehicle's computer. These engine controls are essentially unadjustable.
On the 3.0L (90° V6) engines found in Premier and Monaco vehicles, the idle speed regulator allows a controlled amount of air from the air cleaner to reach the intake manifold during closed throttle conditions to maintain engine idle. The inlet side of the regulator is connected to the air cleaner bonnet, while the outlet side is connected to the throttle body adapter below the throttle plate by a hose.
The idle speed regulator consists of a permanent magnet motor that operates a vane type valve. The ECU (Electronic Control Unit) controls the amount of air routed through the regulator by opening and closing the valve. Voltage is supplied to the idle speed regulator through the B+ Latch relay, while the ECU controls the ground path to extend or retract (open or close) the valve.
On the 3.0L (90° V6) on all except Premier and Monaco models, 3.3L and 3.8L engines utilize an idle air control motor. The idle air control motor is mounted on the throttle body and is controlled by the PCM (Powertrain Control Module). The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control motor to compensate for engine load or ambient conditions.
The throttle body has an air bypass passage that provides air for the engine at idle (the throttle blade is closed). The idle air control motor pintle protrudes into the air bypass passage and regulates air flow through it.
The PCM adjusts engine idle speed by moving the idle air control motor pintle in and out of the bypass passage. The adjustments are based on inputs the PCM receives. The inputs are from the throttle position sensor, engine speed sensor (distributor pick-up coil), coolant temperature sensor, and various switch operations (brake, park/neutral, air conditioning). Deceleration die out is also prevented by increasing airflow when the throttle is closed quickly after a driving (speed) condition.

2012 Volvo S60 ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
New T5 and R-Design models join redesigned lineup.
We said in our review of the redesigned 2011 Volvo S60 that it was a sports sedan that does it all. Well, not quite. The 2012 S60 R-Design, added to the lineup, does quite a bit more, in the areas of speed, handling and style, both exterior and interior.
The inline 6-cylinder S60 T6 AWD has been selling very well since its introduction last year, including 40 percent to women over the years, according to Volvo. Because it was all new for 2011, the S60 returns unchanged for 2012, but redesigned T5 and R-Design models have joined the lineup.
The S60 R-Design raises T6 horsepower from 300 to 325 hp, and torque from 325 foot-pounds to 354. This drops the 0-60 acceleration time from 5.8 seconds to 5.5. The sporty R-Design has a sleeker nose, firmer suspension, 18-inch wheels, more seat bolstering, unique steering wheel, and racier instrumentation.
The five-cylinder T5 front-wheel-drive model returns after two years away, with an all-new engine making 250 hp, a 6-speed automatic (replacing a 5-speed), better fuel mileage and a lower price.
Volvo suggests the S60 competes with the BMW 335i and Audi A4. It costs thousands less.
The Volvo S60 has beautiful lines that are carefully drawn. It's stylish, clean and sophisticated. Same with the interior, which features standard leather in the T6 and aluminum trim that looks like sculpture in some spots. The dashboard and center stack, with the optional 7-inch display screen, make the driver feel successful and in command.
The chassis delivers excellent handling. The all-wheel-drive T6 offers secure cornering and even the front-wheel-drive T5 features a system called Corner Traction Control by Torque Vectoring, which moves torque to the outside wheel/wheels to help steer the car around a turn and reduce understeer.
The S60 suspension was developed on old roads in the UK. The 2011 S60 redesign got shorter, stiffer springs, firmer bushings, more travel in the shock absorbers, and a new steering column with faster steering ratio, using front MacPherson struts and rear multi links. The T6 uses Volvo's Dynamic Chassis, while the T5 uses the Touring Chassis, the difference being in the stiffness of bushings, springs and dampers; but each chassis is available on the other car, should you want a soft T6 or firm T5.
In the S60 T6 there's also the optional Four-C active chassis offering Comfort, Sport and Advanced settings. The S60 R-Design has no settings, you get what it comes with, which is firmer than the Advanced setting on the S60 with Four-C. The S60-R pushes the limit of stiffness, but for Volvo enthusiasts won't cross it.
The T6 engine is a 3.0-liter turbocharged intercooled inline six-cylinder, making 300 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque at a low 2100 rpm. It's wonderfully smooth and quick when passing on two-lanes. It gets an EPA-estimated 18 City and 26 Highway miles per gallon. The pumped up S60-R gets the same fuel economy rating.
The new T5 engine is a 2.5-liter inline five-cylinder, iron block with aluminum cylinder liners, intercooled turbocharger, making an impressive 250 horsepower with 266 foot-pounds of torque, plus a feature that gives 295 foot-pounds of torque for 10 seconds. Zero to 60 mph can be accomplished in 6.8 seconds. Volvo estimates the T5 will get 20 city, 30 highway miles per gallon, and costs the 2012 S60 T5 costs thousands less than the prior model similarly equipped. The T5 uses a new 6-speed automatic. We think the T5 offers good value, considering its power, safety engineering, comfort and style.
The S60 R-Design makes 25 more horsepower and 29 more foot-pounds of torque than the T6, thanks to ECM programming for more boost, fuel, and sharper throttle response. It's quite noticeable. We drove the S60 T6 on the track at Oregon Raceway Park and the S60-R at Thunderhill in California, and the S60-R clearly runs harder. For the track, it's a good thing the suspension is stiffer. Despite Torque Vectoring, it still understeers when cornered at the limit (meaning the front tires lose grip before the rear tires).
Volvo has broken new ground in safety yet again. There's an optional system called Pedestrian Detection, which brings the car to a halt at any speed below 22 mph, without the driver's involvement, when a pedestrian is in the vehicle's path.
The S60 carries Volvo's Safe and Secure warranty plan, with free scheduled maintenance for the first 5 years or 50,000 miles, including wear and tear coverage and roadside assistance.
The 2012 Volvo S60 T5 ($31,150) uses a new 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder engine making 250 hp, 6-speed automatic, and front-wheel drive. Standard equipment (includes all power, sport seats front and rear, leather-wrapped steering wheel, power driver seat, 7-inch color display, dual zone climate control, 160-watt 8-speaker CD/DVD/MP3 sound system, and Bluetooth. The T5 Premium Package ($1900) upgrades with leather upholstery, moonroof, power passenger seat and other features.
S60 T6 AWD ($37,900) uses a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine making 300 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque, a 6-speed Geartronic automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. The T6 adds leather. The T6 Premium Package includes moonroof, power passenger seat, and high-intensity headlamps.
The S60 R-Design ($42,500) has the same powertrain as the S60, but horsepower and torque are raised to 325 and 354 pound-feet, and the suspension is considerably firmer. The inlays, instrumentation, leather, pedals, steering wheel and shift lever are unique to the R, and the moonroof and power passenger seat are standard. The nose is sleeker with a different grille.
Options include a Climate Package ($800) with heated front seats, heated windshield washer nozzles, rain-sensor wipers, headlight washers and interior air quality system. The Multimedia Package ($2700) includes 650-watt Dolby Surround Sound 12-speaker audio system, navigation system, and split-lens rearview camera. The Technology Package ($2100) includes pedestrian detection with full auto brake, adaptive cruise control, collision warning with full auto brake, distance alert, alert driver control, lane departure warning. Stand-alone options include metallic paint; interior wood inlays ($300); blind spot warning system ($700); front and rear park assist ($500); Four-C active chassis ($750); and alloy wheels with run-flat tires ($500).
Safety equipment that comes standard on all models includes Dynamic Stability and Traction Control, Side Impact Protection System (SIPS), Whiplash Protection Seating System (WHIPS), dual stage front airbags, side curtain airbags, side impact airbags, tire pressure monitoring system, and anti-lock braking system with hydraulic brake assist, optimized hydraulic brakes, ready alert brakes and fading brake support. Optional safety features include all-wheel drive, Collision Warning with full Auto Brake, Pedestrian Warning with full Auto Brake, Distance Alert, Driver Alert Control, Lane Departure Warning, and the blind spot warning system.
The chief designer of the S60 says that his mission was to 'pump up the volume,' to make it look more like a coupe. Mission accomplished, we'd say. Gone are the days when Volvo styling reflected Scandinavian conservative practicality.
The Volvo S60 is as sleek and stylish as sedans come, with practicality redefined in today's world. Great care went into the details, for example the symmetrical angles of the trapezoidal air intakes in the front fascia, two in the corners under the headlights, and the long horizontal intake at the bottom of the seamless nose. The headlights mirror those shapes, and the tidy grille is perfectly appropriate to the small size of the car's forward-leaning face. Small vertical trapezoidal LED parking lights snuggle up against the grille.
There are no bulging fender flares, no strutting to flaunt horsepower. Smooth lines from the front fenders to rear, where the hips meet the graceful coupe roofline. The only chrome on the side of the car is a thin strip surrounding the windows and stating the grace of their outline. The standard T6 wheels are split seven-spokes, nice but we've seen better from Volvo.
The snug and comfortable leather seats in the Volvo S60 T6 are gorgeous in Beechwood Brown. Some of the shapes inside, for example the trim on the doors could be metal sculpture. Shimmer Graphite aluminum inlays, they call it, which sounds better than slightly shiny trim. Lovely little touches, such as strips of Beechwood Brown leather over the seatback pockets.
The non-leather T-Tec upholstery in the T5 is really nice, and offers a healthy savings over leather.
The S60 interior is well thought out, from cupholders to storage compartments. Volvo did this thinking-out over many years of refining interior practicality. The instrumentation is clean and stylish like it's always been, the tach and speedo having a black background, white lettering, red needles and brushed metal rings. The headliner is a rich fabric.
At the rear, the trunk is a spacious 12 cubic feet, with enclosed hinges and a pass-through to the 60/40 rear seats. There are 2.1 inches more rear legroom than the previous S60, with a longer wheelbase but the same overall length. But that's still only 33.5 inches of rear legroom. The S60 is a sports sedan, not a roomy one.
One of our two test models had the Premium, Technology, Multimedia and Climate Packages, totaling $7100. So we had a nice big power moonroof to add airiness to the interior, 650-watt Dolby Surround Sound with 12 speakers, rearview camera and navigation system, among quite a few other things. The rearview camera screen is the 7-inch navigation screen, and it's split, angled in the center to give a view off to the sides of the car.
The navigation system worked well for us, with its 7-inch screen in the top center of the dash. It has far more options and capabilities than we were able to try out, driving from the Oregon wine country east to the high desert, for a few laps at Oregon Raceway Park to further test the cornering and brakes. The nav system wasn't confusing, at least.
The screen also displays information from the new DCI, or Driver Control Interface, including audio settings. Functions can be operated by a thumbwheel on the right steering spoke, or with buttons on the center stack.
Volvo invented that center stack that's like a thin wall with storage space behind it. The face of the wall is like a neat keyboard, with dials and buttons mostly for radio tuning that are easy to understand and use.
The Technology Package includes pedestrian detection with full auto brake, adaptive cruise control, collision warning with full auto brake, distance alert, alert driver control, and lane departure warning. Sometimes it feels like Volvo overkills with safety systems. Engineers burn the midnight oil to find new ways to mitigate the driver's errors in (take over) the control of his or her car, while barraging him or her with information.
Pedestrian Detection brings the car to a halt at any speed below 22 mph, without the driver's involvement, when a pedestrian is in the vehicle's path. Sounds good. Although we ran into the dummy named Junior during an actual test. Because of raindrops on the windshield, we were told. We've also noticed that BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) sometimes thinks raindrops are cars.
Driving Impression
The Volvo S60 T5 gets an EPA-estimated 20/30 mpg City/Highway and, according to Volvo Cars of North America, can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 6.8 seconds.
The S60 T6's 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder makes 300 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque over a broad range, from a low 2100 rpm up to 4200 rpm. When you floor it to pass on a two-lane, as we did on remote Oregon roads, it's very satisfying: quick and smooth. You can't ask for much neater and safer passing. You can find more awesome acceleration, but at 5.8 seconds from 0 to 60, according to Volvo, the T6 looks real good in the affordable real world. Fuel economy is an EPA-estimated 18/26 mpg.
Take the S60 R-Design with 325 horsepower on those same roads, and passing gets even better. There's more torque too, but it comes in a narrower band, 3000-3600 rpm. Zero to 60 mph can be accomplished in 5.5 seconds, according to Volvo. Fuel economy is an EPA-estimated 18/26 mpg. Volvo says the new S60 R-Design is not intended to compete with the BMW M3 and Audi S4. Those cars are faster and ought to be, for their price.
The 6-speed automatic transmission uses a console lever, with a manual mode. This is the sportiest Volvo ever, yet there are no paddles to shift by, because, Volvo says, their customers haven't asked for them. Plus it would cost a lot in safety certification, changes to the steering column, etc. In the S60 R-Design, paddles are sorely missed, especially since the shift-lever/center console ergonomics are awkward.
The S60 was tested on old roads in the UK, and the Dynamic suspension developed there. In 2011, shorter stiffer springs and stiffer bushings than before. More travel in the shock absorbers. New suspension components, working with front MacPherson struts and rear multi links, and a quicker steering ratio.
We were fine with the standard Dynamic Chassis, on the road. Our T6 gave nothing but pleasure, and proved that it can handle rough surfaces while cornering tightly. It felt solid without feeling heavy, and was precise.
For those who'd rather have a softer ride than precise cornering, there is the Touring chassis, standard on the T5 and available on the T6.
A more sophisticated choice for the T6 is Volvo's FOUR-C, or Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept, which is active, meaning sensors change the settings depending on the road and driving style. The driver can set Comfort, Sport and Advanced.
The S60-R uses just one setting, which is firmer than Advanced on the Four-C. Even that very firm tuning was okay on the road. But it's for Volvo enthusiasts who know what they're getting, not for the relaxed pace of city driving. Specifically, the S60-R has 15mm shorter and 15-percent stiffer springs; monotube rear shocks replacing twin tubes; stiffer rear bushings, thicker front antiroll bar, and a front strut tower brace.
For all models there's a new system called Corner Traction Control by Torque Vectoring, which moves torque to the outside wheels to help steer the car around a turn, meaning it reduces understeer. We still managed to find big understeer on the Thunderhill track with the S60-R, on at least one corner where even racecars often understeer. Curiously, among the 15 or 20 automotive journalists driving that day, none that we asked felt the stability control come on, to correct understeer. Maybe the threshold is way way up there.
Also, the brakes faded on most of the hard-driving journalists. They smoked on us during our second two-lap sprint, but not after we adjusted our technique and didn't ask so much of the pedal. It will be highly unlikely for the brakes to be used that hard on the road, even with the S60-R.
The Volvo S60 hits the mark where it aims. Its styling is beautiful, its leather and aluminum interior satisfying, and its function nearly flawless. Great power and cornering with all-wheel drive, with unmatched safety. The T5 is a great value with a ton of performance, the T6 good value with more performance, and ditto the R, on a higher rung. The S60 carries Volvo's Safe and Secure warranty plan, with free scheduled maintenance for the first 5 years or 50,000 miles, including wear and tear coverage and roadside assistance.
NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Sam Moses filed this report after his test drives of Volvo S60 models in Oregon and northern California.

Book accompanying the magna exhibition (Madrid, 2007) of the art and objects that inspired American Dadaist and surrealist photographer, painter and multimedia Man Ray (b. USA, 1890-1976). The structure of the exhibition followed the chronology of the artist's 4 working periods: New York, Paris, Los Angeles, Paris, displaying in each period pieces that represent its critical moments. The scope of the exhibition was defined by the scope of the collection itself and the primary curatorial objective was to identify within the large collection of the Man Ray Trust of New York those objects and images that were least known, but may had contributed most significantly to his final works, including source material used to created artworks, experimental variations of well known works and documentation of unfinished pieces. Man spent most of his artistic life in Paris where he became part of the circle of painters, photographers, poets and intellectuals of the early 20 century. Along with Marcel Duchamp, he experimented with new media and materials and is considered one of the pioneers of the psychedelic and erotic surrealist style. ENGLISH AND SPANISH TEXT.

Back to (Near) the Beginning: Galactic springtime
By Ron Cowen, 15:56 PM April 15, 2008
In their quest to capture ever-earlier moments of cosmic history, astronomers have found some of the first galaxies, a new study suggests.
The researchers used infrared and visible-light observations to compare the properties of two previously identified sets of distant objects: about 21 galaxies viewed as they appeared about 1.2 billion years after the Big Bang and 120 galaxies that are around a billion years older.
Before using the younger group to test ideas about the first stages of galaxy...

Watch Una Corda, a software piano with a difference
The piano has been living with a beautiful legacy, but that legacy can double as tyranny. The Steinway Model D, favorite instrument of mine that it is, has also frozen the technological development of the keyboard instrument. And that's why the Una Corda is different. Built custom by David Klavins, and associated with that builder's collaboration with pianist Nils Frahm, this lightweight piano is unlike any you've seen or heard before. And now, you can get a taste of playing the real thing with a software instrument.

Your tremor of limbs may be simply physiological tremor or early stage of essential tremor . Do you have family history of tremor to any of blood related family members ? If yes then it may be a essential tremor. Beta blockers and some other medication are available to treat your tremor but before that a physical examination by a physician to acess the severity of tremor and other medical parameters are required

Another nursing home experienced a 75% improvement in the number of residents with sensitised skin following the introduction of TENA Wash Cream and TENA Soft Wipe[1]
To meet the health needs of fragile, elderly skin, we now offer a total care approach in which procedures and products can be adjusted to fit the needs of individuals – the TENA skincare and cleansing range.
The TENA skincare and cleansing range is built on years of experience in providing quality incontinence products. It is also the result of working closely with staff within a wide range of care settings, and individuals within their care. Preventative personal skincare such as using TENA no-rinse cleansing products has been proven to reduce the incidence of incontinence-related skin breakdown by up to 77%7, while also benefitting the working environment for staff.
To deliver this, the range is broadly divided into two complementary categories that can be tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals.
Ultimately, we believe these innovative products work together to help transform fragile, elderly skin and contribute to individuals' overall health and wellbeing.
Frequent cleansing with soap and water, as well as incontinence, can disrupt the skin's integrity reducing its ability to prevent infection. Furthermore, the breakdown of skin arising from incontinence can have a considerable impact on an individual's physical and psychological wellbeing. [3]
An optimal skin care regime following episodes of incontinence helps to prevent the occurrence of incontinence associated dermatitis; it should include gentle cleansing, moisturising and the use of a skin barrier or protectant if absolutely necessary. [3]
No-rinse cleansers, such as TENA Wash Cream, are considered best practice because they are beneficial to skin condition. [4]
TENA Skincare products were trialled in long-term care facilities with encouraging results. [5,6]
TENA Skincare improved skin conditions for a significant number of residents. Two-thirds of the elderly residents benefitted from improvements in their skin's condition when using the TENA Skincare system vs. soap & water. [1]

Although only about 35 youngsters showed up last week for the first Children 4 Humanity event sponsored by Old Dominion's football team at Foreman Field, that hasn't discouraged the Monarchs from continuing to mentor school kids, coach Bobby Wilder said.
The team reacted to police shootings of African American men in Charlotte and Tulsa nearly a month ago by forming a "circle of unity" in their last three games. The Monarchs joined hands and raised their arms before the Sept. 24 game against Texas-San Antonio and were joined by the Charlotte and Massachusetts players and coaches prior to their last two games.
Wilder said the circle of unity, and mentoring young people through Children 4 Humanity, an organization begun by the team, were positive ways of reacting to the police shootings.
Wilder said most of the kids at the Children 4 Humanity event were from the Lamberts Point and Park Place neighborhoods, and that was the team's target audience.
"The event was put on with such short notice," Wilder said. "But the kids who were there had a great time."
ODU likely won't host another event until the spring, but players are heading out most afternoons during the week to work with kids in Norfolk recreation centers.
"Our guys help kids with their homework, play basketball or ping pong with them and talk to them," Wilder said. "The whole point of why things happened a few weeks ago is that we're trying to work with the next generation.
"The nice thing is that we have 115 kids, and if we only have five a day going out, that's a lot of kids being helped.
"I'm really proud of our kids. I told them that eventually the circle of unity and everything else is going to fade away. What will carry on is the work we do with kids."
Wilder said ODU likely will host another Children 4 Humanity event in the spring and that the Monarchs have been invited to hold an event in Virginia Beach.
"Our kids have been through a lot the last three weeks," Wilder said. "But it's brought us all a lot closer."
Former ODU star Mayo has knee surgery
Former defensive star Deron Mayo is out for the year after suffering a knee injury playing for the Calgary Stampeders in Saturday's Canadian Football League game against Montreal.
Mayo, a 28-year-old linebacker from Hampton's Kecoughtan High School who was Calgary's defensive captain, underwent surgery Monday.
"He's in great shape. He takes care of himself and he has the right mental attitude," said Stampeders coach Dave Dickenson. "The guy likes to work and he'll get at it as soon as he can."
Mayo led the Stampeders defensively in a 20-16 victory over Hamilton in the 2014 Grey Cup championship game with seven tackles and a forced fumble.
Another former ODU star, quarterback Thomas DeMarco, was released by the Edmonton Eskimos earlier this season. Demarco was ODU's first quarterback and went 21-6 as a starter for the Monarchs before going down with an ankle injury midway through his senior year.
DeMarco completed 124 passes for 1,559 yards and 11 touchdowns in four CFL seasons.
ODU promotes Ken Brown
Ken Brown was recently promoted to deputy athletic director at ODU, meaning he is essentially second in command in the athletic department.
An Indiana native, Brown was hired by athletic director Wood Selig in 2011. He was previously athletic director at Lambuth University in Tennessee, deputy athletic director at Ball State University and director of ticket operations at the University of North Carolina.
Brown supervises ODU's men's and women's basketball programs, sports medicine and the school's tennis center, but his most important role has been overseeing the school's budget.
