Phenytoin hypersensitivity syndrome (PHS) is a rare delayed hypersensitivity reaction which occurs following exposure to phenytoin sodium. Pulmonary involvement is uncommonly described. Herein is reported the first case of histopathologic bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) found on open-lung biopsy in a patient with severe PHS. New onset, clinically significant, cold agglutinin disease was also documented. Hemodynamic parameters mimicking sepsis were present in the absence of significant clinical infection. Rapid, dramatic improvement followed high-dose steroid therapy.

180' thermostat for 3.7 V6
I'm looking for one for my 3.7 V6. Anybody recommend a brand and the part number? Thanks
Re: 180' thermostat for 3.7 V6
there arent any
Re: 180' thermostat for 3.7 V6
You'll have to find the size, in mm, and find an engine that uses that size.
I don't think you'd want to put a 180* on a V6 though...
Re: 180' thermostat for 3.7 V6
Re: 180' thermostat for 3.7 V6
no one here has a 180 on a 3.7. You may try to see if any of the Jeep Liberty guys have found one
Re: 180' thermostat for 3.7 V6
The only thing a low temp thermostat will prevent is the vehicle ecu from entering closed loop operation. When first started and until normal operating temp is reached, the vehicle runs a default program which is slightly on the rich side (fuel wise). Once the vehicle reaches normal operating temps, it then takes readings from all sensors such as the mass airflow and 02, etc. and continually adjusts the fueling to get optimal burn. There are a couple of reasons not to fool with the thermostat by replacing with a lower temp:
1) You will likely get a check engine light in a short period of time since the vehicle will never reach the proper operating temperature.
2) Running the default mixture 24/7 can damage expensive emissions equipment like the CAT converter which is pretty expensive to replace.
The general idea of doing this is that it will keep you on the rich mixture and result in better performance. Unlikely to work IMO.
The only reason to replace a thermostat is to install one of the new fail-safe models which fails in the open position to prevent overheating.
Re: 180' thermostat for 3.7 V6
Re: 180' thermostat for 3.7 V6
Here is a good article on how cooling systems work.
By changing to a lower temp thermostat you are changing important variables around which the engine and other components were designed. Some will always argue that this is okay or that you can tune the ECU to accept these changes. My opinion is that this modification is not a good idea at all.
Here is a good site that explains how cooling systems work and also an excerpt about the thermostat:
'The thermostat in your vehicle is what regulates how fast the engine warms up and at what operating temperature it will run. Warming the engine up is very important due to the different expansion rates of all the internal parts (aluminum, steel, cast iron and rubber seals). If an engine is running too cold, the tolerances within are not correct and damage may ensue. Just as important is that the engine runs at the proper temperature. Today's vehicles are designed to run anywhere between 200-220 degrees Fahrenheit, it is the thermostats job to regulate the fluid flow through the radiator to keep the temperature at a predetermined level. Most fuel injected vehicles use a 195-degree thermostat, so by 200 degrees it is fully open and letting the fluid flow through the radiator and back to the engine.'
Re: 180' thermostat for 3.7 V6
Ok I'll keep mine stock too kThx!!! LOL
Re: 180' thermostat for 3.7 V6
I have to say that my 4.7L runs LOADS better after i put a 180* in it. I have a superchips programmer and running a tune i noticed it would run a little hotter. The 180* made the engine sound alot smoother.
Re: 180' thermostat for 3.7 V6
These baby 3.7s dont make enough power/heat to even need to think about it. The gains would be minimal for these motors anyway. The fact they don't make one says it all I think, def leave it alone, my .02 :)

Cops Hide Explosives On Car, Lose Track Of Car
(NEWSER) – Police at the Anchorage airport lost track of a small quantity of explosives used to train bomb-sniffing dogs. It seems they attached the explosives to one of the rental cars parked in a lot at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport—and a customer drove away with it. Airport Police and Fire Chief Jesse Davis tells KTUU the explosive was recovered hours later in the Anchorage area without incident. He says the amount of explosives in the vehicle was small and didn't pose a threat to the driver or the public, but police are reviewing policies to make sure it doesn't happen again.

In 2009, one stylish Connecticut gal left her long career in fashion to launch a free email newsletter. Now that newsletter – her "excruciatingly opinionated guide to the Connecticut shoreline" – has become an extremely successful business venture: the-e-list.
Helping Connecticut ladies stay in-the-know
Why a newsletter, you ask? "There are several small towns on the shoreline of Connecticut," Erica explained, "But there was never one place where you could find out all the cool things that were going on or the best places to go in those towns. So I decided to compile all that information into a short, stylish, easily-digestible newsletter format. I sent it out to a list of my friends – check out this art show; here's a wonderful new restaurant; I bought a beautiful arrangement here, etc. They sent it to their friends, and those people sent it to their friends, and I just kept at it, week after week."
Despite her initial intention to drive traffic to her website, she quickly learned that email would be her best source of income. In fact, 90% of Erica's revenue stream comes directly from Emma. "My advertisers love email; they love that the newsletter goes directly into people's inboxes."
Using Emma features to adjust her message
Erica made the-e-list super popular (and attracted so many great advertisers!) by serving her audience relevant, targeted content based on the click rates she was seeing for certain topics. For instance, she originally planned to focus primarily on museums and art galleries. "But when I delved into the analytics I got through Emma," Erica recounted, "I learned that people were clicking on food and fashion a lot more than they clicked on art. So I started doing more of that type of content and found myself instantly getting better engagement from my audience."
Erica mentioned that she regularly uses our Metric app to help her determine how she should adjust her marketing tactics. "Back when I was a buyer, all I did was analytics – how much did we sell of this, how much do we need next season? It was all based on that sort of thing, so that part of Emma really excited me. And constantly monitoring data was a huge part of what helped me propel the-e-list into what it is today."
And she can't get enough of those eye-catching CTA buttons. "It's hilarious to me, the buttons. I used to get an average of 35% for my click rates, but as soon as I started using CTA buttons instead of text links, it became 40-50% every single week. And really, it was silly that all this time I've been using text links when even I know that I wouldn't click a text link on my phone." Plus, thanks to CTA buttons, the page views on Erica's website have risen from 40,000-50,000 on average to about 75,000.
Staying on top of best practices (with a little help from her friends!)
Marketing United: Erica loves using examples she learned at our Marketing United Conference in her own emails. She just began using a three-item content bucket in her newsletter (idea courtesy of Garden & Gun), and it turned into a useful and attractive way for her to recycle older content. Erica said, "That little tweak alone drives tons of traffic. A lot of my content is very time-specific, but something like a 'White Wine Sangria' recipe is useful to my audience every summer."
Emma services: In the past few months, Erica has taken full advantage of our design and strategy services. "For a small business that has difficulty getting quick turnaround on design work, your design services are really wonderful. I've also used your strategy service – I spoke with Emma Matthews after Marketing United about some ideas I had and how I could incorporate them into my newsletter. It was sort of like having a consultant sitting next to you. She had a bunch of great tips and tweaks that really mattered to me."
For Erica, the help she's gotten from Emma has been critical to the success of the-e-list. "So few people understand what I do, so it's really nice to have access to people that really get it and know ways to make it easier. I work in a complete vacuum, so all of this information on best practices is wonderful for me – because really, I'm just making it up as I go along."

New boys' champ is fighting fit
FORTY push-ups a day helped Lau Shing break three records and win the Grade C boys' championship at the Sha Tin Government Secondary School's 19th annual athletic meet, held recently at the Sha Tin Sports Ground.
The 13-year-old, who set records in the long jump, the 100 m and the 200 m, started to practise push-ups a year ago under the advice of his school PE teacher. He found the exercise boosted his strength.
''Our teacher told us that push-ups would build up our arm muscles and help us to improve our running speed,'' he said.
The second former said he was confident of winning the championship but never expected to break records.
''I feel very excited and very happy. I have taken full advantage of the fact that my major rivals have this year been promoted to Grade B,'' Shing said.
For his part, the Grade A champion Tang Tsz-ming boasted a secret strategy to achieve his success.
''I decided to shun the strongest opponents by entering less competitive categories like the high jump, 400 m and the 110 m hurdles. Although it was my debut performance in all three events, I calculated that I had a better chance to win,'' the shrewd 16-year-old said.
Not relying on this strategy alone though, Tsz-ming began training each day before school a month ago.
The fifth former said he was very pleased with the results as this could be his last year in this school.
Michelle Liu Man-ching, the Grade A girls' champion found that winning the title this year was made more meaningful because, as an HKCEE candidate, she may not be attending this school next year.
''I'm pleased to win because the competition was keen,'' the 16-year-old said. Michelle has participated in the sports day since Form One and this was her second championship win.
The results are as follows: Overall House Champion: Azalea House; Overall Boys' Individual Champions: Grade A, Tang Tze-ming; Grade B, Choy Ming-kin; Grade C, Lau Sing; Overall Girls' Individual Champions: Grade A, Liu Man-ying; Grade B, Tong Wai-man; Grade C, Luk Man-ki; Best Cheering Team: Jacaranda House.

Karaoke With A Cause [POLL]
I have been hosting karaoke in town for almost 14 years. I really enjoy interacting with a live audience, and sometimes am blown away by some of the local talent.
That being said, there have been many singers over the years that make me want to shove an ice pick in my ears. Tonight, I have the honor of hosting a 10-week karaoke contest to benefit the American Red Cross.

A Stanford University research lab has developed new technologies to tackle two of the world's biggest energy challenges – clean fuel for transportation and grid-scale energy storage.
The researchers described their findings in two studies published this month in the journals Science Advancesand Nature Communications.
Hydrogen fuel
Hydrogen fuel has long been touted as a clean alternative to gasoline. Automakers began offering hydrogen-powered cars to American consumers last year, but only a handful have sold, mainly because hydrogen refueling stations are few and far between.
"Millions of cars could be powered by clean hydrogen fuel if it were cheap and widely available," said Yi Cui, an associate professor of materials science and engineering at Stanford.
Unlike gasoline-powered vehicles, which emit carbon dioxide (CO2,), hydrogen cars themselves are emissions free. Making hydrogen fuel, however, is not emission free: today, making most hydrogen fuel involves natural gas in a process that releases CO2 into the atmosphere.
To address the problem, Cui and his colleagues have focused on photovoltaic water splitting. This emerging technology consists of a solar-powered electrode immersed in water. When sunlight hits the electrode, it generates an electric current that splits the water into its constituent parts, hydrogen and oxygen.
Researchers at the CRANN nanoscience institute at Trinity College Dublin have discovered a new clean energy material that will increase the adoption of hydrogen as a fuel in energy-efficient transport.
Hydrogen has been described as the ultimate clean energy source and, potentially, a real alternative to fossil fuels.
It is seen as very attractive as it is a pollution-free fuel and energy carrier that would satisfy much of the energy requirements of our society.
Hydrogen is readily prepared by splitting water electrically into its component parts hydrogen and oxygen; a process called electrolysis. However, this process requires a significant energy input.
'Our disruptive materials breakthrough is momentous as it means much more energetically efficient and more economical hydrogen energy'

Bag Lady
The A.P. dispatch from Miami Beach began: ''A frightened 'bag lady' who wandered city streets shoeless and hungry ... .'' No. That should be a ''shopping-bag lady.'' A bag lady, or bagwoman, is one who transmits illegal payoffs; when Harlem Congressman Adam Clayton Powell tied that tag on a constituent, she sued and was awarded damages. Nowadays, many women - well-shod and hungry only for bargains - live out of shopping bags, but let us maintain the distinction: A shopping-bag lady is a derelict, no matter if her shopping bag comes from Hermes and she sleeps in a chic doorway on the Rue du Faubourg St. Honore.
The citation above was supplied by Paul Hoffman, author of ''Lions of the Eighties,'' and a longtime phrasewatcher. He also reports that the term rainmaker - a lobbyist capable of causing money to flow from seemingly arid budgets - has been supplemented with knifethrower, a ''lobbyist who knows who the decision maker is three or four rungs down the ladder and knows how to get to him.'' Thus, one who lobbies expertly for the rights of female derelicts might be called a shopping-bag-lady knifethrower.
Hold on: I just used the term derelict, which carries the connotation of ''drunken bum'' and is stumbling into disuse. A less pejorative word now used is homeless; another preferred term appeared in a more recent A.P. story from Miami: ''An elderly man who roamed the streets with a shopping cart full of tin cans and bottles was beaten to death by another 'street person' as hundreds of vagrants waiting for a hot meal looked on.''
Street person sounds bookish; another, more colorful term was used in a caption in this magazine last year, under a picture of a man sleeping in the subway: ''While some New Yorkers seldom use the subway, others live there. The police call such people 'skells' and are seldom harsh with them.''
Skell is a beaut of a bit of slang. It is a shortening of skellum, meaning a rascal or thief, and akin to skelder, ''to beg on the streets,'' first used in print by Ben Jonson in 1599, just after that playwright got out of jail after killing a man in a duel; it is possible he picked up the word from a cellmate's argot.
''It shows the sheer persistence of words,'' says Stuart Berg Flexner, editor in chief of Random House dictionaries, when shown this citation. ''Here an Elizabethan argot word with some old literary use pops up again in a shortened form in the mid-20th century (about 1935 in the short form skell), showing that skellum had some underground oral use for centuries. It's a long way from the Elizabethan underworld to The New York Times, but skellum/skell finally made it!'' Controversial Computer
A few years ago, the offputting vogue word was abrasive, used mainly by liberals to describe hard-hitting conservatives; that was quickly followed by strident, used by hardliners to rail at articulate softliners; more recently, the vague vogue adjective to cast aspersions in both directions is controversial. (And whatever happened to offputting?)
Modern technology has provided us a way to prove the spread of a vogue word. Winners & Sinners, the bulletin of cheerful secondguessing issued from the news desk of The New York Times, reported recently on a project undertaken during a lull on night rewrite by Timesmen David Dunlap and Ed Gargan: They drew on the Information Bank computer to compile a list of the way the word controversial had been used in the newspaper during the preceding month.
The adjective had been used to look slightly askance at ''Glenn Gould's recording techniques,'' ''a no-first-use nuclear weapons policy,'' ''Linda Ronstadt's 'new wave' album'' and ''a U.S. stamp honoring St. Francis of Assisi'' among many other items.
The computer search showed that too many reporters and editors were leaning on the word as a crutch, unwilling to say much-criticized and unready to let the item stand by itself without some pejorative modifier. Controversial is a way of saying, ''I'm out of this''; or, ''Look-ame, I'm being fair,'' or, ''This one is hot and I'm not about to say why.''
I can hear the newscaster saying: ''The ultracontroversial U.S. stamp honoring the recording techniques of Linda Ronstadt's no-firstuse album.'' But the sound is not the simple controver-shul; it is the controversial pronunciation of contro-ver-see-ul in the voice of Brent Musburger of ''The N.F.L.Today'' (welcome to the language dodge). By branding as controversial the pronunciation of controvershul as controverseeul, I stigmatize that sound from ambush - maybe I mean it is affected, or mistaken, or even forthright and courageous.
This was not the first use of a computer to examine the subtle bending of language. Tom Bethell, when at the American Enterprise Institute, applied the Nexis system (don't ask me to describe it, I have enough trouble with this green-eyed word processor) to adjectives like provocative and bellicose.
He discovered that Soviet media used the word provocative frequently to threaten retaliation in the arms race, another favored phrase; in the United States media, provocative is used almost exclusively in describing Western, not Soviet, actions. Similarly, bellicose was ferreted out of the Nexis system frequently next to the name of President Reagan, never next to Leonid Brezhnev. Mr. Bethell is now busily tracking the application of intransigent (to guess what country) to unreconstructed (to guess what kind of bird).
Fear not 1984, and the onset of computerese; a little computer will lead us away from the vagaries of voguery. Fulsome Complaining
''A writer whose first novel is fulsomely praised must pay forever after an excruciating tax,'' began a Newsweek review. ''I wrote a letter to Newsweek,'' writes Max Garber of Flushing, N.Y., ''pointing out the erroneous use of the word fulsome in a Peter Prescott review of a new William Wharton novel. I am not satisfied with the reply.''
The newsmagazine's Priscilla Baker, writing for the editors, took this position: ''Peter Prescott was using (not misusing) the word 'fulsome' according to the first definition in Webster's Third New International Dictionary of fulsome, which is copious, abundant. Therefore he was saying that William Wharton's first novel was abundantly (or copiously) praised.''
The first definition in some dictionaries is not the word's most common meaning, and the permissiveness of the Merriam-Webster Third is legendary. To most lexicographers, and to most careful users of the language, the word fulsome means ''disgusting, offensive because excessive and insincere.'' Its etymology takes the ''full'' that began in ''abundant'' and crosses it with ''foul,'' to give us a useful slam at phoniness: Fulsome praise is the gushing of a toady, not to be confused with lavish praise, which is evidently what Mr. Prescott had in mind.
Is the distinction worth preserving? Or had the mistake been made so often that it is no longer a mistake? Newsweek's editors have decided to cave in, and that decision will be embraced by permissivists everywhere. But I stand shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Garber of Flushing for using fulsome only to mean ''excessive and insincere,'' since we already have a copious supply of words for ''abundance.''
We have few enough words in the language to impute baseness of motive. Novelist Wharton has been unintentionally maligned. People who misuse fulsome to mean ''full'' are the sort who use noisome when they mean ''noisy.''

It's time to fire up the interneuronal connections and carve out 10 big ideas for 2016.
My first offering is that Australia will likely become an Asian nation in its ethnic orientation. Apologies to the xenophobes, but it's happening under your nose. An incredible 28 per cent of Australia's population (or 6.6 million people) were born overseas – the highest in 120 years. During the last census a remarkable 12 per cent of Australians said they had Asian ancestry.
In Sydney and Melbourne, 19 per cent and 18 per cent, respectively, of residents are Asian. In Sydney regions like Parramatta and Ryde, the Asian share of the population is as high as 34 per cent and 33 per cent, respectively. China and India have overtaken the UK as Australia's biggest source of new migrants, collectively accounting for 35 per cent of the intake in 2013-14.
The idea of Australia stealthily yet ineluctably becoming an Asian nation is a big deal: it will reinforce our unique antipodal trading position and powerful role as a politically stable economic conduit between east and west; it will help improve our cultural commonalities with major regional actors like China, India and Indonesia (mitigating geopolitical hazards); and it should serve as a source of innovation, productivity and growth, just as the influx of ambitious European migrants did after World War II.
Idea number two is that the major banks' returns on equity (RoEs) are inevitably going to fall from around 15 per cent towards their 11 per cent cost of equity as result of the banking system becoming a highly competitive and level playing field. While this process may take five years or more, it should mean that rather than trading at an unusually high two times book value, the majors will price at circa one times. If I'm right, there is much downside to current valuations, which is a proposition reinforced by analysts' crazy forecasts that bad and doubtful debt charges will stay around 30-year lows.
In five years the majors will have ceded the competitive advantages that fuelled their world-beating RoEs. Rather than carrying 25 per cent more leverage than rivals, they will end up having less leverage and more equity capital in the funding mix. Combined with the fact that smaller banks tend not to source as much funding in the dearer wholesale bond markets – underwriting assets with cheaper deposits that are now a government-guaranteed (and more stable) funding source – I believe the majors will wind up having more expensive funding costs. In short, we will migrate to a system where the majors are much safer banks with reduced risks of failure, with the trade-off of lower returns on equity than competitors that have loftier leverage and lower funding costs. There should, therefore, be an economic role reversal between the big four and their rivals.
If the majors are going to become slow-moving, yet bullet-proof, utilities, a third idea is investors should look for superior returns from more fleet-footed alternatives that are not saddled with the financial baggage of being too-big-to-fail. One day we will eventually see another Nicholas Moore who creates a new Macquarie Bank with a much skinnier 50 per cent dividend payout ratio (compared to the majors' 80 per cent pay-out policies) that retains earnings to support investments in innovative and entrepreneurial opportunities. Macquarie has done a fabulous job of continuously reinventing itself to maintain growth and studiously avoided allocating too much capital to competing in the majors' commodity markets.
On this note, the majors will likely lose significant market share in home loans to regional banks that for the first time will be able to compete effectively with them on price without crushing their returns. Rather than being price setters, the majors will become price takers and have to give back the recent rate hikes they have foisted on borrowers to compensate for expanding equity funding costs or suffer market share losses.

There's no quicker way for me to leave the working day behind than with classic ska courtesy of Toots and the Maytals. And, if you don't take your commute too seriously, A13, Trunk Road to the Sea by Billy Bragg is the perfect singalong driving song.
The monotony of even the dreariest commute will fade to insignificance when listening to Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah - it's just a sublime slice of genius. I also like Biba Sada Dil Morr De because it whisks you away to places far more exotic than Surbiton and Basingstoke.
Finally, there's Train in Vain. Although the title could well serve as the rallying cry of frequent travellers on any route served by South West Trains, I play this because a few minutes of the Clash helps keep unscheduled delays and limited seating in perspective.

Today's design spotlight falls on Ashford, Kent. This rapidly expanding town has just been kitted out with a new generation of "designer" street lamps that, at £7,000 a pop, have got local people and politicians reaching for their light switches in disgust. Turn them off, for heaven's sake. What's wrong with ordinary, tried-and-tested street lamps that cost seven times less than these lighting "icons" designed by the artist Nayan Kulkami?
It has to be said that they've got a point. The overwrought new lamps appear to grow in spiky pickets along Ashford's Elwick Road. They might be mistaken for macabre weeds or a novel form of advertising for a new shape of pasta. What these controversial new lamps tell us is that the best street lighting, as well as the best street furniture in general, is normally as discreet as possible. Let there be light, but not lumpen poles rising from our pavements.
It is possible to design artistic street lamps. London's Thamesside embankments are lined with shoals of cast iron lamps in the guise of dolphins designed in the late 19th century by Timothy Butler. Equally, many surviving urban gas lamps are things of delicate, luminous beauty. Heritage lamps, modern versions of such playful originals, tend to be overbearing things, while most modern street lamps outside Scandinavia tend to be, at best, dull, an odd thing for a lamp to be. Yet, better restrained than "state-of-the-arty" and too lustrous for comfort.

Ao Phang Nga National Park (Thai: อุทยานแห่งชาติอ่าวพังงา) is in Phang Nga Province in southern Thailand. It was created by royal decree and announced in the Royal Gazette under proclamation number 98, section 64 of 29 April 1981.
It includes coastal sections of Mueang Phang Nga District and Takua Thung District.[2] Most of the park consists of an area of the Andaman Sea studded with numerous limestone tower karst islands.[3] The best known of these islands is Khao Phing Kan, popularly called "James Bond Island" because it was used as a location for the James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun.
The dramatic appearance of the islands with their sheer sides has made the area a popular tourist attraction.[1] The park also protects the largest area of native mangrove forest remaining in Thailand.[2]

HONG KONG--Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS, +0.48% has joined nine other banks in an $8 billion syndicated loan to Chinese e-commerce firm Alibaba Group Holding, a person with knowledge of the matter said Tuesday.
Goldman is providing $500 million in the three-tranche loan, which is currently in a syndication process, the person said.
Goldman's participation in the loan comes as bankers are awaiting Alibaba's much-anticipated initial public offering, which could value the company at tens of billions of dollars or more. While Alibaba itself hasn't announced any specific IPO plans, its deal last year to buy back its own shares from U.S. partner Yahoo Inc. has included incentives for the Chinese company to list its shares by December 2015.
Alibaba Tuesday declined to comment on the loan and its IPO plans.
Last month, a person familiar with the matter said that Alibaba signed an $8 billion loan agreement with a group of nine banks on April 30, to refinance existing debts and raise additional funds. The nine banks providing the loan, according to the person, are Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd, Credit Suisse Group AG, Citigroup Inc., Deutsche Bank AG, DBS Group Holdings, HSBC Holdings PLC, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Morgan Stanley and Mizuho Corporate Bank Ltd.
Other people familiar with the situation said that the banks getting involved in the loan arrangement are trying to deepen their relationship with Alibaba in hopes that they will get to play significant roles in the IPO.
The financing comprises three tranches: a $2.5 billion three-year term loan, a $4 billion five-year term loan and a $1.5 billion three-year revolving credit facility.
Alibaba, which operates online shopping sites Taobao and Tmall, is by far the biggest player in China's growing e-commerce market. The company has been going through major changes in management and operation this year: Last month, its founder Jack Ma stepped down as chief executive, replaced by new CEO Jonathan Lu.
Alibaba recently announced two deals as it tries to strengthen its business for China's rapidly increasing smartphone users. One was a $586 million deal to take an 18% stake in Sina Corp.'s Twitter-like Weibo microblog business, and the other was a $294 million deal to take a 28% stake in Internet mapping company AutoNavi Holdings Ltd.

Chancellor Angela Merkel faced a blistering political row with Switzerland and her own Christian Democrats yesterday over a plan to buy stolen Swiss bank data naming hundreds of German tax evaders who have millions of euros in secret accounts.
A CD identifying some 1,500 Germans who have illicit Swiss accounts was procured by a former employee at the Geneva branch of HSBC bank. The disc, which could return an estimated €200m (£175m) in lost revenue, was offered to the German government for the sum of €2.5m at the weekend.
Ms Merkel and her Finance Minister, Wolfgang Schäuble, initially greeted the offer as a welcome means of bringing tax evaders to book. "Like everyone else, I think that tax evaders need to be uncovered," Ms Merkel said.
Yesterday, however, it became clear that Germany's apparent readiness to buy stolen bank data had plunged Ms Merkel into a row with Switzerland and her own conservative Christian Democratic Union. Leading members of the party described the plan to buy the CD as immoral.
Hans-Rudolf Merz, the Swiss Finance Minister, suggested that relations between the two countries would suffer. "What Germany is doing is punishable by law in Switzerland. The use of stolen bank data for tax purposes is simply illegal," he said. And Adrian Amstutz, a leading member of the right-wing Swiss People's Party, said Ms Merkel's announcement meant that relations between Switzerland and Germany would "sink to a level not seen since the era of Hitler", and demanded that she revoke her plan.
Leading members of Ms Merkel's Christian Democrats agreed. "We are signalling to these data thieves: we will buy what you steal," warned Kurt Lauk, president of the business council of the CDU. "The state should be trying to arrest this man."
However Ms Merkel's stance has been fully backed by Germany's Social Democrats, the Green Party and the police. German tax evaders are estimated to have some €175bn concealed in Swiss bank accounts. An opinion poll published yesterday showed that 57 per cent of Germans supported the government plan to buy the CD; 43 per cent were against. Siegfried Kauder, a Christian Democrat legal expert, said the data was "unusable" in court.
But Ms Merkel and her Finance Minister argued yesterday that the whistleblowing tax CD was no different from a similar case in 2008 when Germany paid €4.2m for stolen bank data procured by a former employee at a Liechtenstein bank. The information was used to identify some 600 tax evaders, including former Deutsche Post boss Klaus Zumwinkel. He was fined €1m for tax evasion and given a two-year suspended jail term.
The former HSBC employee cited as having offered the stolen data to Germany has been identified as Hervé Falciani, a French citizen who was also alleged to have offered secret bank data to the French authorities last year.

`The acquisition marks the first step in LongAcre's European expansion. Olswang chief executive Jonathan Goldstein said: "LongAcre was launched with the intention to build a pan-European corporate finance house. The London business is doing exceptionally well and we've branched into Sweden. This validates the business plan."`LongAcre's first joint transaction with Lommen is the sale of Pan Interactive to Scandinavian media group KF Media. Olswang does not have an exclusive referral arrangement with LongAcre and the pair only completed their first joint deal last month. Goldstein said: "This is far more the development of a separate business in which Olswang is a share holder."`LongAcre was set up last year. Olswang partners have a 60 per cent share while JP Morgan is the other principal shareholder.
LongAcre branches out into Sweden
Olswang's technology, media and telecommunications corporate finance house LongAcre has moved into Sweden with the acquisition of Lommen Corporate Finance.

The clock is ticking on the Dodge Viper, the head-turner that once set the auto industry on fire.
At the Chrysler press conference underway now -- we're listening to it over the Internet from Las Vegas where SEMA is still going on -- the word just came out: 500 more "special edition" Vipers will be built, then no more. But Fiat-controlled Chrysler won't give up the market. It could turn out a replacement of sorts using its Ferrari/Alfa Romeo expertise in three years.
It was only July that Chrysler had reversed plans to kill Viper. The $91,000, 10-cylinder speed machine was given a new lease on life. Only about 300 had sold in the first half of 2009, meaning that Viper production could go on for months before the final car leaves the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit.

Police Lt. Mike Rust confirmed Friday that a Dec. 3 autopsy showed Brandon Lee Robbins ll had cocaine and methadone in his system when he died, which for police raises more questions — and more avenues for investigation. "Right now, everyone in that household could be considered a suspect," Rust said. The infant lived with his mother and father, grandfather and another minor child, Rust said. "If anyone has any information in this case, wed be glad to listen to it as in any case," Rust said. Detectives are awaiting test results on possible evidence taken at the home. When that information is available, Rust said police would forward the results of their investigation to the district attorney's office. "It ll be reviewed there and if there are any charges to be filed, they will be presented to the grand jury," Rust said. Precinct 3 Justice of the Peace Diana Campos ordered the autopsy performed by the Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office. Rust said it showed an inconclusive cause of death, although in addition to the drugs, the baby was found to have suffered "minor blunt force trauma to the head." "The manner of death has See DRUGS Page 3A Councilman wants temporary halt to outfitter expansion By Scott Mahon Staff Writer Prohibiting river outfitters from expanding until parking ordinances are changed would keep a bad traffic problem from getting worse, District 6 Councilman Ken Valentine said. Valentine said inadequate parking at tube rental companies and Schlitterbahn has compounded the problem riverside neighborhoods face. "A Liberty Avenue tube rental company is expanding, and city staff determined only eight parking spaces are needed even though they have hundreds of all-dav customers," Valentine said. " I he city doesn't have an adequate rule to deter mine the number of parking places for tube rental companies nor for amusement parks like Schlitterbahn. In fact, Schlitterbahn had a 23 percent increase in customers last year, but didn't add any parking facilities." Valentine said he wants council to discuss the moratorium and refer the issue to the Development Code Steering Committee, which meets March 23. See OUTFITTERS.

New Braunfels City Council will discuss placing a moratorium on tube rental expansion and referring the issue to the Development Code Steering Committee • That committee meets March 23 Land deal preserves nature; funds preserve scholarship By Leigh Jones Staff Writer New Braunfels resident Roy Knippa started looking for a buyer for his 302-acre Bastrop property in the 1980s. Although he had several offers from developers and even considered subdividing it himself, none of the proposals sat right with him. "I never could get my heart into it because the land was too scenic, too beautiful," he said. When he was approached by lYust for Public Land, a nonprofit conservation group, about purchasing the land as a nature preserve, he knew he had the right buyer. "That decision was very easy for me. They were a real pleasure to work with," he said. The tract, which is covered with post oak and pine forests, is located 18 miles northeast of Bastrop. It also contains two of the seven "Yegua Knobs," sandstone-capped mesas 250 feet tall. The hilltops offer views for almost 30 miles and are mentioned in the folklore writings of Texan J. Frank Dobie, according to the TPL Web site. The $574,000 TPL paid for the property was provided by a pollution settlement with Alcoa Inc., according to wire reports. Alcoa's aluminum smelter in Rockdale was fined for violations of the Clean Air Act. After purchasing the land, TPL transferred it to Pines and Prairies Land Trust. The Bastrop based organization plans on dedicating it to scientific research and low impact public recreation opportunities, according to the TPL Web site. It will also be protected habitat for the endangered I louston toad. Knippa is happy to be leaving a physical legacy for the area, but he is almost more excited about the spiritual legacy the sale has enabled him to leave. See LAND.

State-mandated classes test both physical, mental By Ron Maloney Staff Writer Friday morning was a long one for Comal County corrections officer John Bell. He parried kicks and punches and got thrown around the West Side Community Center by Vince Fields, a former U.S. Marine Corps special operations fighter and trainer. It wasn't a martial arts tournament or even a class — it was on-the-job training. "It was pretty physical," said Bell, of Blanco, who is a jailer at the Comal County Jail. Bell and other jailers who attended the course on "takedown techniques and control tactics" were completing part of a law enforce-inent officer's continuing training. Cops, deputies and jailers have to have law enforcement training and be state certified before they can seek employment. It is less well known that their basic training is only the beginning. To stay certified, law enforcement personnel must stay in school throughout their entire career. Bell's boss, Sheriff's Caph john Bell (no relation), said the sheriff's office places a heavy emphasis on training. "We encourage and look forward to any training we can get to improve the skills and abilities of our personnel," Capt. Bell said. "Training is very important in the law enforcement career field in order to provide our people the tools to perform their jobs correctly in an everchanging society." New Braunfels Chief of Police Russell Johnson said society in today s age doesn't just pin a badge on someone and give him a gun. Every two years, an officer is required to complete 40 hours of continuing education in state-mandated subject areas. In New Braunfels, the police department and the sheriff's office both have training programs, and they work together as much as possible. See TRAINING.

"Bobble Bubble Nostalgie is a version of the well-known recreational game."
If you want a touch of the retro to play a fun game, try this Bobble Bubble Nostalgie. As all of you probably know already, Bobble Bubble Nostalgie is a classic platform game, in which you can choose between blue or green dragons. is very similar to the original game. Like the original, the aim is to move your little dragon around the screen, shooting multi-coloured balls at your enemies.
In Bobble Bubble Nostalgie these dragons also have to save their friends, but you have to capture your enemies in large bubbles, trapping them inside, and later bursting them. To increase your score along the way, you'll find diamonds, jewels, fruit etc.
This Bobble Bubble Nostalgie game consists of eliminating all the enemies that appear on-screen and so pass to the next level. can be played as a one or two-player multi-level game. But remember this is a clone of the 1986 classic so don't expect up to date graphics! This program is very easy to download, install and then use, through its friendly and intuitive user interface. You don't need any technical experience at all to get the most out of it.

Passengers stranded as Darwin airport closes
Passengers flying into and out of Darwin, including the Cowboys NRL team, have been stranded after the city's airport was closed because of wild weather from Tropical Cyclone Carlos.
Passenger Lynne Dowling, who is stranded in Alice Springs, says it has been a frustrating 24 hours.
She is not sure when she can return to Darwin.
"We were in Townsville, then Cairns, then attempted to fly to Darwin. Two attempted landings, then they took us to Tyndal [near Katherine].
"Then we landed at Alice Springs at 3.30 in the morning.
"And we're here still until tomorrow, at the very earliest tomorrow night to get back to Darwin."
The rugby league match between the North Queensland Cowboys and the Brisbane Broncos scheduled for Saturday in Alice Springs is under a cloud.
The general manager of NT Rugby League, Mike Keech, says the Cowboys have been training in the Top End, and with all flights cancelled in Darwin, they cannot fly south.
He says the big disappointment is the cancellation of the planned primary school and middle school clinics this afternoon at Anzac Park.
But he says the team will make every effort to make it up to the young fans.
"The Cowboys players are really looking forward to to engaging the kids but there is another [opportunity] for them," he said.
"They can head out to Traeger Park on Friday morning."

After leading his first-ever 250 MX moto in 2009...
...Barcia rides into the sunset with a moto win. But in between, he delivered just three overall victories.
Cudby photos
Barcia's 2012 250 season was much better, as he delivered overall wins at Colorado and Washougal, and stayed in championship contention right until the end. "This year, I learned a lot," he says. "I think I had some of my worst races at the tracks I probably should have done the best at. Honestly, I think I put too much pressure on myself at those races. But all in all it was a really good year."
He also won his second-straight Lites East Championship in Monster Energy Supercross. Still, he ends his time on a 250 outdoors with just three overall wins in four seasons. After that sparking Glen Helen debut, it seemed like he was destined for so much more--perhaps his time in the 450 division will go that much better.

An early, prototype version of Super Mario Bros. for the NES apparently surfaced with little fanfare, and has seemingly vanished back into obscurity. Umm.
We scoured the pages of the record book to find a handful of record we think the average gaming veteran could easily top.
After the colossal awfulness that was 1993's Super Mario Bros., Nintendo became more than a little gun-shy about licensing its games for the big screen. But it looks like the tide might finally be turning — so here's a good place for the videogame giant to start.
The long-running producer behind the Spider-Man movies, Avi Arad, is planning to make a series of Super Mario Bros. animated films next.

CouchDB can generate time-based UUIDs, where the top part of the uuid is the time and the bottom part is essentially random. I think this would work very well for you: - you get documents with equal keys naturally sorted by insertion time - you don't even need to add a created_time field, since you can parse it out of the uuid when you need it Regards, Brian.

Fan death made "Idol's" Cowell think "long and hard"
By Jill Serjeant
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Acerbic "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell said on Wednesday the apparent suicide of a former contestant and obsessed fan forced him to think "long and hard" about his blunt comments to hopeless singers on the show.
But in his first detailed comments about the fan's death in November, Cowell said the U.S. top-rated television talent show was "not inherently mean" and that the hundreds of thousands of people who audition every year knew they would be criticized.
"I have thought long and hard about this...I think we will continue in the way we have always done. We have tried to have a sense of humor. The show is not an inherently mean show. It is an American dream show where the whole purpose is to find somebody who through the process becomes a star," Cowell told reporters in a telephone conference call.
The British judge said the death in November of Paula Goodspeed, 30, a fan of fellow "Idol" judge Paula Abdul who was ridiculed when she tried out in 2005, "hit us like an express train. It upset me a lot".
Goodspeed's audition was greeted with laughter by the judging panel and Cowell, who often makes fun of tone-deaf or eccentric performers, commented on her braces, questioning how she could sing with "that much metal" in her mouth.
Referring to her suicide, Cowell said: "What happened was awful. My regret is that we didn't know how troubled this person was. If I had gone back in time and known what she was going through, I wish we could have spent time trying to help her, but we genuinely didn't know."
Goodspeed's overdose in a car outside Abdul's Los Angeles home made worldwide headlines and sparked heated debate on the harsh comments meted out to bad singers in early "Idol" audition rounds and later broadcast on national TV.
Abdul said last week that "Idol" producers had dismissed her fears about letting Goodspeed audition for the sake of making an entertaining show. Continued...

In a city that thrives on leaks, the Supreme Court is all but watertight. The nine justices have known the likely outcome of the health-care case since March 30, when they sat in their private conference room and took a vote. Until today, they've told their law clerks and secretaries — and virtually no one else.
The rest of us have been guessing. And guessing. We've speculated about whether John Roberts wants to be known as the chief justice who struck down a president's signature law. We've parsed Anthony Kennedy's questions during the three-day argument session. We've wondered whether Antonin Scalia's angry dissent in the Arizona immigration case might have been a prelude to a health-care dissent.
Guessing is part of the job for reporters who cover the court. Armed with the thinnest of evidence — often consisting of a justice's ambiguous question, the pattern of decisions earlier in the term or an action the court took years earlier in a similar case — we guess as a way of preparing ourselves for what the court seems likely to do. Along the way, we place the occasional 38-cent wager with one another. We're probably wrong as often as we're right.
Health care was guessing on steroids. Rumors that the ruling was imminent surfaced seemingly every day the court was scheduled to release opinions — and at least one day it wasn't. Theories flew about possible outcomes. (Might they strike down the insurance mandate while upholding the fines? Order re-argument next term?) No topic was too small to debate. And with each passing day, the crowd of reporters in the court's pressroom grew in anticipation of a ruling for the ages.
The secrecy ensured that today's announcement was a rare moment of genuine Washington drama, an instant in which the justices finally told us the news we've all been waiting to hear.

Neighbors - New Red Band Trailer
Reported by Outsiders - 2014.04.08
In the new red band trailer for Seth Rogen's raunchy R-rated comedy "Neighbors," the comic actor stars alongside Bridesmaids' Rose Byrne as a middle-class married couple plagued by bad luck and poor judgment. When they try to enjoy some alone time together, their new infant daughter immediately spoils the mood. Things get even worse when a rambunctious fraternity (led by Frat president Zac Efron) moves in next door. Now the couple's night of intimacy is getting disrupted by a bunch of college-aged eyeballs peeking in their window. Maybe it wasn't such a great idea to call the cops to break up one of their all-night parties, because it seems Rogen has just awakened "a sleeping giant" and Efron is "just getting started."
Seth Rogen, Zac Efron and Rose Byrne lead the cast of Neighbors, a comedy about a young couple suffering from arrested development who are forced to live next to a fraternity house after the birth of their newborn baby.
Neighbors stars Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, Rose Byrne, Dave Franco, Christopher Mintz-Plasse
