BP Buys North Sea Forties Oil From Shell, Halts Caspian Pipeline
BP Plc bought a cargo of North Sea Forties crude from Royal Dutch Shell Plc and halted a pipeline carrying oil from the Caspian Sea to Turkey.
BP said that it purchased the Dec. 18 to Dec. 20 shipment at a discount of 25 cents to the Dated Brent benchmark.
Reported North Sea market activity typically occurs during a trading window that ends daily at 4:30 p.m. in London. Prior to the window, Forties crude loading from 10 to 21 days in the future cost 9 cents less than Dated Brent, compared with a premium of 20 cents the previous day.
Brent crude for January settlement traded at $91.31 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange at the close of the window, down from $91.46 a barrel at the same time yesterday. The February contract traded at $91.44 a barrel. The price spread between the two nearest-term contracts widened to 13 cents from 5 cents yesterday.
The Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline halted flows of crude to the port of Ceyhan on Turkey's Mediterranean coast, said Toby Odone, a spokesman for BP.
The stoppage is "believed to have been caused by" an "illegal tap" on the Turkish section of the link, Odone said today by phone from London, adding he "understands" exports are not affected. Odone said he didn't know how long the halt would last.

As The Hunger Games continues to rack up massive DVD and Blu-Ray sales, another Tuesday finds an interesting mix of theatrical and television series home video releases. Whether you still inclined to enjoy Sacha Baron Cohen's over-the-top garishness in The Dictator, Jack Black's critically acclaimed performance in Bernie, the introspective and insightful romantic drama Weekend, or one of 2011's best films and the Oscar winner for Best Foreign Language Film, Iran's A Separation, there is something for everyone this week.
More than just another column about new home video releases, we will link to reviews, summarize the film, drop in some factual tidbits, and (naturally) offer you a chance to purchase the film (and support the site in the process!).
Consider it your weekly trip through the video store, both virtual and physical, scouring the shelves and combing the racks to find something you can enjoy at home, no matter what your personal preferences…
A Separation [Blu-ray]
A Separation
From my ★★★★1/2 theatrical review of January 6, 2012:
"The spectacle of its creation aside, A Separation is also easily one of the best written, directed, and acted films of 2011, a haunting and compelling ode to human interactions and emotional entanglements. Following Simin and Nader's marriage separation, other separations, in varying forms, manifest, grow, and become realities. Farhadi's screenplay opens itself up to an intricate maze of physical and emotional separations which continually make the characters in his film assess and evaluate their lives and the people who exist within it.
A Separation is a film so organically committed to the humanity of its subjects that everything which unfolds, the surprises which come especially in a breathtaking final 45 minutes, are as honest and believable as any filmmaker brought to the screen in 2011. The acting is pure, the situations transcendent of culture and country. But we are not merely bystanders – we are engaged and immersed and riveted with every word, look, and decision that these characters make.
A Separation accelerates more and more expeditiously and urgently in its second half until everything reaches an unforgettable and thought-provoking conclusion. As expertly accomplished as any movie I have seen in quite some time, Asghar Farhadi's daring gall in questioning various elements of Iranian culture and society – from the judicial system to health care to the expectations levied upon women and men in a modernized Islamic culture, is as engrossing as it is unbelievable." Iranian/Drama, PG-13, 123 mins, Dir: Asghar Farhadi

Over the past couple of weeks quite a few people have weighed in on the Detroit Institute of Art's successful appeal to three counties in Michigan to pass a "millage" (a property tax) which would provide $23 million per year for the museum (91% of its budget) over ten years, while it raises $400 million for its endowment to replace the tax revenues when they run out. One of the most interesting aspects of this strategy is that the DIA offered free admission to the museum only to people living in the counties that passed the levy (which equates … [Read more...]
As nonprofits do we (or should we) put all art in service of instrumental ends?
This past Thursday and Friday I had the honor of attending a convening on global performance, civic imagination, and cultural diplomacy at Georgetown University, hosted by Derek Goldman and Cynthia Schneider.

A planned ending for Merce Cunningham Dance Co.
Merce CunninghamIn last week's post on direct subsidies to artists, I expanded upon a premise from artist/economist Hans Abbing--that direct subsidies to artists may provide incentives to more people to become artists, thereby increasing competition, and making it more difficult for any to make a living--and suggested that the same may be true of arts organizations. I wrote, "We have incentivized the exponential growth of the arts and culture sector in the US and, despite significant resources (government and private) flowing into the sector on … [Read more...]
What are the aims of direct subsidies to artists?
Polly Carl has posted a new piece on HowlRound, A Virtual Theater Movement, in which she remarks on a recent trend in arts philanthropy: increased direct support for artists. This philanthropic trend prompts me to ask, "What are funders hoping to achieve by providing direct subsidies to individual artists?" and to raise the ideas of a colleague from Erasmus, artist/economist Hans Abbing, who wrote a book in 2002 called Why Are Artists Poor? The Exceptional Economy of the Arts, an excellent summary of the chapters therein you can … [Read more...]

Location: Floral and Nursery Plants Research
Project Number: 1230-22000-032-08-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Sep 1, 2008
End Date: Aug 31, 2013
To better understand the biological interactions between the plant pathogenic bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum Race 3 and its ornamental host plants, particularly geraniums. More specifically, we propose to study the environmental and genetic variables affecting disease onset, latent infection, disease transmission, and pathogen survival. The long-range goal of this project is to improve our knowledge base for detection, identification, epidemiological prediction, and strategies for eradication of this exotic plant pest.
To develop improved diagnostic methods, we will screen existing genomes of Race 3 biovar 2 (R3bv2) strain UW551 and bv3 strain GMI1000 to identify novel R3bv2 diagnostic targets. Explore immunological and oligonucleotide-based methods diagnose R3bv2-infected plants using these targets; apply new methodologies such as nanodetection and magnetic capture/multiplex PCR combinations to move these diagnostic tools into practical use. Our lab will thoroughly test and validate diagnostic specificity and sensitivity, working with both geraniums and other commercial host plants. Note: This work will be accomplished in collaboration with colleagues at other universities in synergy with an ongoing diagnostic tools development project. To understand R3bv2 cold tolerance, we will use a transcriptomic approach to compare total pathogen gene expression during infection of plants at 20°C (cool, permissive for R3bv2) and 28°C (warm, permissive for both R3bv2 and bv3 strains). We will use two complementary microarray chips custom-designed to represent the complete genomes of R3bv2 strain UW551 and bv3 strain GMI1000. Using a 4-way experimental design, we will compare gene expression of tropical strain GMI1000 and cool-temperate strain UW551 during plant infection under cool and warm conditions. This comparative analysis will identify candidate cold tolerance genes that can be tested for function using site-directed mutagenesis followed by virulence and survival assays at the two temperatures. Microarray data will also reveal larger patterns of pathway expression or suites of genes that are likely to play roles in this complex trait; the contribution of such patterns to cool-temperate bacterial wilt disease will be tested using rational mutagenesis designed to abrogate the pathway or trait in question. To determine the biological basis of R3bv2 latent infection, we will draw on the custom-designed UW551 microarray chips developed above, we will compare R3bv2 pathogen gene expression during latent and active (symptomatic) infection of host plants. Identifying conditions that predictably produce latently infected plants has been a challenge, but cooler temperatures and lower inoculum are promising. A comparative analysis of total gene expression during the two kinds of infection will test the hypothesis that the pathogen exists in a different physiological and defensive state during latent infection. The practical purpose of these experiments is to identify chemical or environmental triggers that would either prevent or reverse latent infections, allowing offshore growers to block or expose latently infected plants before they could be accidentally introduced to the U.S.

Looking for feedback on cellulose insulation in an attic
I am in the process of insulating part of an attic that does not have a floor. Looking for suggestions on what I am doing or if I am missing something.
The attic has a ridge vent, soffit vents and 2 gable vents. The area to get the cellulose runs the length of the house and is the first 6 feet from the soffit toward the center of the attic. I am in the process of removing the very old, compressed pink fiberglass as I go along. I am caulking all holes drilled for electrical wires (also have foam gaskets on electical outlets). The 2 bathroom vents I have built a box for each out of 1.5" foil backed foam. The exhause runs thru an insulated hose (dryer type hose) to exhause vent in the end of the roof. I also have some recessed lights in this area. I was going to use TENMAT covers (http://www.tenmatus.com/Content/Loft%20Covers) for the recessed lights and have the cellulose up against that. To protect the soffits I installed a short piece of foam board on top of the header then ran a section of foam board between the rafters to form a vent and allow the cellulose to cover all the heated area below and keep it out of the soffits.
Any suggestions on breaking up the cellulose and spreading it? Any significant difference between the cellulose from HD or Lowes?
Installing Cellulose Insulation
Cellulose insulation is compressively packaged, just as fiber glass blowing wool is. It must be installed with a blowing machine. The big box home centers typically have blowing machines for rent or even loan with a sufficiently large purchase.:thumbsup:
Needs to be blown for proper installation.

Miley Cyrus voted worst celebrity influence of 2009
By Jill Serjeant
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Miley Cyrus, one of Disney's hottest stars of the past three years with hit records and hit films, has been voted the worst celebrity influence of 2009 by the very people who made her a star, tweens and teens, according to an online poll on Wednesday.
Cyrus, 16, took 42 percent of votes in the poll for AOL's JSYK.com (Just So You Know) website aimed at 9-15 year-olds, pushing Britney Spears and rapper Kanye West into second and third places, respectively, in a section on worst celebrity influences of the year.
No reasons were given for the poor showing of the singer-actress and the popular star of Disney Channel's "Hannah Montana" television series.
But the ranking follows a year which has seen Cyrus controversially dating a 20 year-old model, making "slant eyes" in an informal snapshot criticized as mocking Asians, and being accused of pole-dancing on a teen awards show.
Cyrus also came in No. 4 in the category of favorite female artist, behind 19-year-old country sensation Taylor Swift, "I Kissed a Girl" singer Katy Perry and R&B star Beyonce. The poll attracted almost 50,000 votes.
"I think Miley is in an interesting space where she is trying to graduate from being 'Hannah Montana' and a Disney channel celebrity and coming into her own and having a career beyond Disney," said Stephanie Cohen, editor of JSYK.com.
"I think her fans still want her to be the sweet Hannah Montana and she is trying to age up...Parents are definitely resisting it," Cohen told Reuters.
Cyrus has been one of the biggest teen idols in the world since 2006, selling more than 7 million albums, starting her own fashion line, and taking $154 million at the worldwide box-office for "Hannah Montana: The Movie" in 2009. Continued...

Software programs have been written to run sequentially since the beginning days of software development. In a sequential program, tasks execute one after another, i.e. one task finishes completely first before the next is begun, and if a previous task does not finish subsequent tasks do not execute. Steadily over time computers have become much more powerful, with more processing power and memory to handle advanced operations. This trend has recently shifted away from ever-increasing single-processor clock rates and towards an increase in the number of processors available in a single computer, i.e. away from sequential execution and toward parallel execution. Software developers want to take advantage of improvements in computer processing power, enabling their software programs to run faster as new hardware is adopted. With parallel hardware, however, this requires a different approach: developers must arrange for one or more tasks of a particular software program to be executed "concurrently" (sometimes called "in parallel"), so that the same logical operation can utilize many processors at one time, and deliver better performance as more processors are added to the computers on which such software runs.
Concurrent programs are fundamentally different than sequential ones, because many tasks happen at once instead of one after the other. This raises one particularly difficult problem: whereas in a sequential program, execution of a logical operation stops at the first occurrence of an exception, in concurrent programs exceptions may occur in many tasks at once. Current exception handling mechanisms assume linear, sequential execution, and so communicating such failures to the program presents problems. To make matters worse, the software developer is often working with an application programming interface that gives the appearance of a traditional sequential interface, even though its implementation runs work concurrently, which makes it increasingly difficult to encapsulate the implementation details of an interface when concurrency is used internally.
Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for providing concurrent exception handling. Exceptions that occur in concurrent tasks are caught and forwarded to a coordination task. These exceptions are then aggregated into an aggregation structure, such as an aggregate exception object, and rethrown by the coordination task. The aggregation structure may then be caught and the individual exceptions inside handled appropriately by the program.
In one implementation, the exceptions are handled in the program once all concurrent tasks have completed. In such an implementation, a coordination task initializes a shared flag and a shared list of exceptions to be aggregated. Concurrent worker tasks are started, and should one throw an exception, the shared flag is set and the exception is added to the shared list. All worker tasks poll the flag to determine whether it has been set; when they see that it has been set, they voluntarily terminate. If any additional exceptions occur on concurrent tasks before they are able to voluntarily terminate, those further exceptions are also added to the shared list. Once all of the concurrent worker tasks terminate, an aggregate exception object is created by the coordination task containing references to each of the exceptions in the shared list and then the aggregate exception is thrown by the coordination task.
In another implementation, when the concurrent work is spawned, one or more exception handler descriptors are supplied: each such descriptor is comprised of an exception type and a handler function. For each respective exception that occurs on a given concurrent worker task, the task determines if the respective exception type is of a kind of handled by the one or more exception handler functions provided. If the respective exception is of such a type, then the particular handler function is run and the exception is considered handled. Any exceptions that remain unhandled are then processed in the manner described above.
In one implementation, a sequential process is provided that uses concurrent worker tasks, with a collection of input data being processed to produce a corresponding collection of output results. The exceptions are interleaved alongside non-exceptional output results. The collection of output results is made available to the sequential process. The worker tasks continue to produce the output results completely, as exceptions are encountered. This technique defers the evaluation of exceptions, permitting them to be handled during the consumption of the results rather than as part of the production of said output results.
In another implementation, a single particular exception is selected that represents the multiple exceptions, leading to only one exception being thrown out of the coordination task. This is used when many homogeneous exceptions are caught and/or when a clear preference can be determined by the system.
This Summary was provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference will now be made to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope is thereby intended. Any alterations and further modifications in the described embodiments, and any further applications of the principles as described herein are contemplated as would normally occur to one skilled in the art.
The system may be described in the general context as an application that provides concurrent exception handling, but the system also serves other purposes in addition to these. In one implementation, one or more of the techniques described herein can be implemented as features within a framework program such as MICROSOFT�.NET Framework, or from any other type of program or service that handles concurrent exceptions occurring in programs.
In one implementation, a concurrent exception handling system is provided that can manage exceptions that occur concurrently on many worker tasks. The exceptions can be handled in various ways and at various times, such as by aggregating exceptions and throwing from a coordination task after all concurrent worker tasks finish, such as placing exceptions interleaved among non-exceptional data in the output stream for deferred handling, and so on. The term "task" as used herein means a logical unit of work which may or may not result in an independent thread. The term "coordination task" as used herein means a task that is responsible for coordinating multiple worker tasks. The term "worker task" as used herein means a task that is responsible for carrying out one or more particular logical units of work associated with a higher level program operation.
As shown in
Additionally, device 100 may also have additional features/functionality. For example, device 100 may also include additional storage (removable and/or non-removable) including, but not limited to, magnetic or optical disks or tape. Such additional storage is illustrated in
Computing device 100 includes one or more communication connections 114 that allow computing device 100 to communicate with other computers/applications 115. Device 100 may also have input device(s) 112 such as keyboard, mouse, pen, voice input device, touch input device, etc. Output device(s) 111 such as a display, speakers, printer, etc. may also be included. These devices are well known in the art and need not be discussed at length here. In one implementation, computing device 100 includes concurrent exception handling application 200. Concurrent exception handling application 200 will be described in further detail in
Turning now to
Concurrent exception handling application 200 includes program logic 204, which is responsible for carrying out some or all of the techniques described herein. Program logic 204 includes logic for providing a system that performs operations for an application concurrently on multiple concurrent worker tasks 206; logic for catching exceptions that occur in the concurrent tasks 208; logic for forwarding exceptions to the shared exception list and setting the shared flag 210; logic for producing an aggregation of the exceptions from the coordination task 212; logic for optionally collapsing exceptions into fewer exceptions 214; logic for optionally selecting a single exception to raise out of multiple exceptions 216; and other logic for operating application 220. In one implementation, program logic 204 is operable to be called programmatically from another program, such as using a single call to a procedure in program logic 204.
Turning now to
In one implementation, as exceptions are interleaved among ordinary output, the system provides the option of preserving the original input ordering in the resulting output. Suppose there is an input of {a, b, c, x, y, z}, and the task is to map elements via some projection function f. The system can provide the capability of ensuring output ordering corresponds to input ordering, such that the results will always be: {f(a), f(b), f(c), f(x), f(y), f(z)}. Similarly, when exceptions are deferred, the system can ensure the resultant exception ends up in the corresponding output element position. If exceptions e1 and e2 happened while executing f(b) and f(y), but all others succeeded, for instance, then the results will be: {f(a), e1, f(c), f(x), e2, f(z)}.
The collection of output results is made available to the sequential process, and the worker tasks continue to produce the output results completely, as exceptions are encountered (stage 404). In one implementation, the output results can then be processed as usual, which causes any exceptions to be rethrown lazily during processing as exceptional output elements are seen. This allows the exceptions to be handled as part of the consumption rather than the production of output. In another implementation, exceptions may be written to the output results first, and then if an exception of a certain type occurs, the operation stopped. For example, if a serious exception occurs that would affect the result of the computation, then it could be better to stop the computation than to continue writing exceptions to the output results.
A gather-exceptions operation is optionally provided to accumulate all exceptions in the output results into a list which can be further analyzed, logged, etc. (stage 406). An eliminate-exceptions operation is optionally provided to remove exception values in the output results and optionally store them in a list which can be further analyzed (stage 408). The process ends at end point 410.
Although the subject matter has been described in language specific to structural features and/or methodological acts, it is to be understood that the subject matter defined in the appended claims is not necessarily limited to the specific features or acts described above. Rather, the specific features and acts described above are disclosed as example forms of implementing the claims. All equivalents, changes, and modifications that come within the spirit of the implementations as described herein and/or by the following claims are desired to be protected.
For example, a person of ordinary skill in the computer software art will recognize that the client and/or server arrangements, user interface screen content, and/or data layouts as described in the examples discussed herein could be organized differently on one or more computers to include fewer or additional options or features than as portrayed in the examples.

"Jennifer made such yummy cupcakes for our wedding they were absolutely wonderful. She made three different kinds and decorated them beautifully so that guests knew the flavor based on the shaved coconut or chocolate sprinkles on top. She had a private tasting for us before the wedding so we could decide which flavors we wanted. It is obvious by her work what a wonderful pastry chef she is and it was hard to decide what to have on our wedding day because her cakes and petits fours were delicious and looked spectacular!!"
Ted's Butcher Block334 East Bay Street

"Eva the chef did an amazing job with our food. We had lots of vegetarians coming so Eva created a great menu that satisfied both sides well. The food was probably the most talked about part of the wedding and was so flavorful and different compared to many of the catering options in Charleston. Ted's doesn't usually do weddings but because ours was small they did. Eva stayed within in our budget and was super friendly and helpful during the entire planning process. Our plan was to blow away guests with the food and we sure did!"

"Amanda helped me so much with my wedding day. I hired her for day of planning but it really was weekend planning. She helped me along the way emailing me back with vendor information. I did most of the wedding myself but ceremony flow and design she helped so much! Also just flow of the reception, designing a time line and sticking to it. Helping clean and put away rental items she did so much more for me than I ever imagined. I would recommend her to all my closest friends."

I had no idea what I wanted flower-wise besides just colors and Debi worked with me to pick out flowers that I liked and sketched pictures of ideas she had so our big day ended up being exactly what I wanted. The arrangements and bouquets blew me away. I could not have asked for a better florist. I would highly recommend her!"

The Sheriff Takes a Wife by Debbie Macomber
No current Talk conversations about this book.
In Macomber's romance novel, Christy Manning visits her sister, Taylor in Montana. To her surprise, she meets Sheriff Cody Franklin and finds herself a victim of "love at first sight." And on Cody's end, he finds himself in the same predicament. They connect in a way that leaves no doubt they should be together. But there's just one problem—Christy's engaged to someone back in Seattle—and that leaves the couple in a situation asking, "How do we handle this?"
Another fabulous story set in the backdrop of Montana. I loved it!

Activists practicing civil disobedience inside the nations largest urban farm are being violently dragged out and arrested! One minor was thrown violently onto the concrete before being aprehended. More and more police continue to arrive! Stop this injustice!
URGENT: Supporters needed at South Central Farm, 41st and Alameda, Los Angeles!
As of 1pm today, multiple activists have been extracted from inside the farm where they were practicing civil disobedience to stop the bulldozers. Hired security guards inside the farm are working with police to keep activists out of the farm. There have been multiple arrests, including at least one minor from the community who was violently thrown onto the concrete before being aprehended.
1)This farm is a sanctuary and a safe space for families and children.
2)This farm is a source of local, organically grown food for the community (and the 350 farming families that will now go without food). That means no oil, coal, or gas is used to bring these crops to people. We are talking about sustainable, subsistence farming that should be encouraged, not obliterated.
3)This farm is 14 acres of green space in a city of concrete and chemicals. In a world where urban sprawl destroys thousands of miles of open spaces a year, and in a city where the lawmakers have promised "the greening of LA," we should all defend the farm as an example of what we should be doing in much larger scale in cities across the nation.
4) Farmers have not yet been let into the farm to take out SACRED RELIGIOUS OBJECTS, which are being bulldozed AS YOU READ THIS. Other posessions, including tools, CROPS, and irreplacable heirloom seeds are also about to be destroyed.
5)La tierra es de quien la trabaja: The land belongs to those who work it. Over 14 years, the South Central Farmers transformed a concrete covered lot littered with garbage into a beautiful, productive, green oasis. Are we going to let one man take it all away now?
How can you help?
*Head down to 41st and Alameda. On your way, call everyone you know! Tell them to call everyone THEY know!
Do everything you can to get the word out.
*If you have a CAMERA or a VIDEOCAMERA, you are urgently needed to go to the farm and help duccument the injustices that are happening.
*If you were there when the eviction happened, you are needed now! We must maintain a strong presence on the perimiter! Hundreds of people showed up to protest the eviction. Where are you today? Call your friends! Go to the farm!
*Donations are needed for legal support for the activists that were and continue to be arrested today. Anything you can give will help!
*Contact Jan Perry, councilperson for District 9, and let her know this is unacceptable. She has the power to stop the destruction! Phone (213)473-7009, email jan.perry [at] lacity.org
July 7-10 are international days of solidarity for the South Central Farmers. There will be an informational/organizational meeting tonight for all those wishing to participate in the Santa Cruz action of solidarity.
WHERE? Louden Nelson Community Center, on Laurel St.
WHEN? July 5 at 7pm
Organize an event in your city and register it with the South Central Farmers @ http://www.southcentralfarmers.com

How Transfer iPhone Music Library to Car vis Bluetooth?
Using an iPhone 5, connected via Bluetooth, is it possible to transfer the music library stored on the phone to the car?
Using the Bluetooth connection, I regularly play Pandora through my iPhone 5 and have full access to the contacts on this phone. I am not, however, able to search through my 3300 song music library. I recently wanted to play songs by a specific artist and was unable to do so using iDrive.
I typically have no problem manipulating the idrive system but this has kicked my butt so I am thinking it is just not possible, via Bluetooth, to copy the music library to the cars hard drive.
Last edited by RhoXS; 10-31-2013 at 08:42 AM.
I was wondering the same thing! But you are not alone as for getting kicked... I still am not sure if my 2014 35i even has a hard drive since I did not get the tech package.
2014 X3 35i - Alpine White / Sand Beige 'Nevada' Leather / Wave Wood / M Sport / DHP / Cold Weather / Comfort Assist / Premium Package / Auto Hi-Beams
This is a fairly complicated area where the features that are available depends on the exact options and year model of your vehicle.
All BMWs with iDrive have a hard drive. That's all F25s. The size of the drive depends on if you have a Nav option (609). How you get Nav depends on the year model. in 2014, you can order it separately or as part of the Tech Package. My recollection is that it is 20 GB by default and is increased to 200 GB if you have the Nav (609) option.
Transfer of music to the hard drive happens via the USB cable only. Not via Bluetooth. What things you can do via bluetooth depends on other options (the name and number of the option varies with year model), but if you want all the bluetooth bells and whistles in 2014, you make sure you have option 6NS (Enhanced USB and Bluetooth plus Smartphone Integration). In 2014 it is included with 609 (and therefore included with Tech Pkg). All 2014 X3 include basic bluetooth integration (6NH Hands-free Bluetooth and USB audio connection) standard as part of the base car.
Now what do you get with these options. Well, it depends on exactly what phone and OS you have. Complicated, huh?
That's why BMW has a website for that:
Plug in your VIN and it knows what options you have. Then choose your phone or device and service provider (AT&T, Verizon, etc) and it will tell you what you can and cannot do with your device in your car. You can also just put in the year model, choose the device and then it gives you a table showing the different tiers of capability based on options on the car.
Our BMW: '14 X3 35i, Deep Sea Blue, Black Nevada Leather, Fineline Wave Wood, Satin Aluminum Roof Rails, Premium Pkg, Cold Weather Pkg, Navigation System, Driver Assistance Pkg with ALL them cameras, Premium Sound
Our truck: '03 Ford F350, 7.3L turbo-diesel, 4WD, Lariat package, Lear topper, cow catcher, Blue over Grey (Go Rice!)

Copying it to the car, as stated above, is only done over usb, and only with certain kinds of music files (not itunes native files). The music is stored in the vehicle, regarless of your phone's presence.
Streaming the music means all of the music library remains on your phone. This is akin to the car being essentially a pair of bluetooth headphones as far as the phone is concerned. This requires you select your phone under the media options, AND the bluetooth profile for the phone has music/media enabled (settings:connections:bluetoothhone enable for both phone and media). Different phones behave differently. I dont have an iphone so I dont know how it acts-that is what you refer to the bmw web site for. I think some versions of iOS paired with the newest idrive shows album art and all, some (many I'd guess) just stream the audio, allow track forward/back and that is about it.

"will be paid back in full by taxes collected in the future -- just as the government has paid back interest and principal on all securities that the government has ever been issued." The statement that the government has always paid back money it owed to Social Security is meaningless. The government never borrowed any sizeable ammount from Social Security prior to the 1983 legislation because Social Security did not run sizeable surpluses in the past. If a person had borrowed $100 from a bank in the past, and repaid it, the bank would not consider that prior record as proof they could loan $100,000 or $100 million to the person without risk. The $2.6 trillion was supposed to be saved and invested in marketable bonds. The very fact that the government betrayed the public trust and used that money for general revenue purposes tells us just how little we can trust the government.
Eric Schurenberg, the editor-in-chief of BNET and CBSMoneyWatch.com, is a good friend of mine going back to the 1980s, when we worked together at Money magazine. We generally get along great -- as long as we stay away from the subject of Social Security. But since Eric has just written a piece f...
You have left out of your discussion the fraudulent looting of Social Security that has been taking place for the past 25 years. The surplus revenue, generated by the 1983 payroll tax hike, was supposed to be SAVED and used to purchase pre-existing marketable Treasury bonds in the open market, thus temporarily paying down the public debt. Then, when the baby boomers retired, the S.S. trustees could have resold those marketable bonds to raise cash with which to pay benefits to the boomers. THIS WAS NOT DONE! When the first surplus showed up in 1985, instead of saving the money and investing it in real marketable bonds, the government diverted the money to the general fund where it was spent on general government operations. That practice has continued to this day. Every dime of the $2.6 trillion in surplus Social Security revenue has been run through the general fund and spent on wars and other government programs. None of it was saved! Money can be spent or it can be saved. If it is saved, it can also be invested. But once money is spent, there is nothing left to invest. Anyone can verify that none of the Social Security money was saved or invested by looking at the federal budgets for the past 25 years. The total spending by the federal government, including payments of Social Security benefits, greatly exceeded the total revenue,including payroll tax revenue. The government spent all of its general revenue, plus all of the Social Security surplus revenue, plus a great deal of additional borrowed money. The spent money was replaced with non-marketable IOUs which have no real economic value. The government has made no provisions for repaying the looted money. As for your reference to Allan Sloan, he is one of the true giants in the field of business writing. He is an independent thinker who has done more than any other journalist to expose the awful truth about the Social Security trust fund. I know a little bit about the subject, myself. I have dedicated the past ten years of my life to researching and writing about Social Security funding, and I have published four books on the subject. The latest is "The Looting of Social Security: New release of the book "they" didn't want you to read." Allen W.

EPA gives suggestions on protection from radon
The Environmental Protection Agency has designated January as National Radon Action Month.
Radon — a colorless, odorless gas that seeps from the ground — is the leading cause of lung cancer deaths among nonsmokers in America and claims the lives of about 20,000 Americans each year, according to the EPA.
To protect yourself, the EPA suggests testing your home for radon.
Radon test kits are available for $5 from the Routt County Extension office in the Routt County Courthouse annex on Sixth Street.

RL7050Q is a fashion statement, for which sunshine is not necessarily required, because these sunglasses enhance your natural radiance turning night into day. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of RL7050Qin our 2015, and 2016 Ralph Lauren range.
Expressive lines add character to the classical approach, making the glasses a must-have for women. Eyewear is in. Full rim is extremely popular, because you feel that you get more eyeglass for your money. It is not just about their resilience, but also about the visibility of material and design, which are of the highest quality. This epitome of aviator sunglasses from the house Ralph Lauren is distinguished by their characteristically large lenses and thin frame. The model a sure hit, not only in the cockpit of an airplane. The noble metal frame allows for filigree lines and creates an extraordinary lightness in appearance. In addition, metal eyeglasses are virtually indestructible - strong, flexible and corrosion resistant. Yellow lenses increase the contrast in the visual field, which is especially appreciated in the sports sector. This brand of sunglasses, of course, also provides your eyes with optimum UV400 protection.
Even if this Ralph Lauren is presently not in stock, it is worth ordering now, because the current price can't be beaten. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

In either setting, singers scroll through Super Master touch-screen karaoke systems to choose from more than 100,000 songs in languages including English, Mandarin Chinese, and Frank Sinatra's native pig Latin. Wireless microphones then capture crooning voices as lyrics scroll across 50-inch plasma TVs, serenading spectators as they munch sushi and Asian-fusion fare from the menu. Inside private rooms, colorful cushioned banquettes host groups of up to 40 harmonizers beneath themed decorations such as brewery logos or a rebus representing the complete lyrics to "Eye of the Tiger."

Drug Detox Treatment Programs in Malibu, CA
Escapism is a common habit of those who cannot find the courage to face life's daily challenges. Most turn to drugs and alcohol as an instant solution to their problems, but these individuals soon realize that they have only exacerbated or added onto their existing problems by doing so. Once alcohol and drug users come to this realization, many will try to quit "cold turkey" in an attempt to curb addiction only to realize that it is not that simple.
Detoxification is a complex process because once addicts' bodies get accustomed to the presence of a substance in the system, its sudden removal can cause a number of symptoms that can be so overwhelming that it can push an individual to consume alcohol and drugs to ease their discomfort or pain. These symptoms are more known as withdrawal symptoms, and every alcohol or drug abuser knows that these are the most challenging to face in the process of addiction treatment.
The First Step In Drug Recovery is Detoxification
Detoxification is the first step in addiction treatment, and this first step is usually the most difficult. It is difficult for both addicts and addiction treatment specialists because the withdrawal symptoms that arise during the detoxification process will vary depending on an addict's lifestyle, overall health, and substance of choice. Even an experienced addiction treatment specialist cannot definitely predict what symptoms one will suffer when quitting alcohol or drugs, but suddenly stopping the consumption of these substances will always cause unpleasant symptoms. The most common alcohol and drug withdrawal symptoms include vomiting, sleeplessness, fatigue, anxiety, emotional volatility, irritability, and depression.
Successful addiction treatment can only be guaranteed when the chances of a relapse are reduced to almost zero. This is why it is important to address the dependence of addicts on alcohol and drugs early on. Detoxification will make sure that alcoholics and addicts have a fighting chance in their battle against addiction.

Wave Hello
The taste of the ocean, without tasting like the ocean.
Like the Pacific whose waves crash onto the wild central California coast, the Deep Sea Central Coast Rosé is primal. Pure. Natural. Exotic, yet somehow familiar.
Unlike the Pacific, it doesn't smell or taste like brine. It brings hints of raspberry, cherry, and orange on the nose, and a delicately building acidity on the palate.
That said, if you wanted to fill your pool with the Deep Sea Central Coast Rosé and splash around in it with your snorkel, we wouldn't think you were weird or anything. Unless you didn't invite us.

The Moral Case on Outsourcing: How Good, Bad, or Ugly is it for America and the World?
New Book on Outsourcing Endorsed by IAOP Chairman, Michael F. Corbett
"With a perfect blend of public and private sector experience, Scott Phillips is uniquely qualified to take on one of today's most contentious 'hot button' issues – outsourcing,"
The Moral Case on Outsourcing provides a thought-provoking and comprehensive look at the social, political and moral implications of this controversial practice. Along the way, it directly confronts the conventional wisdom on both sides of the debate. With a wide-ranging list of costs and benefits, The Moral Case on Outsourcing then introduces a set of moral frameworks to gauge just how good or bad outsourcing really is for America and the world. These same tools allow readers to decide the moral case on outsourcing for themselves.
Regardless of how each individual weighs the case for or against outsourcing, everyone can agree that it is urgent to chart a course to recovery and prosperity for all Americans. The Moral Case on Outsourcing concludes with a set of policies – ranging from how to improve access to higher education to the case for a stronger safety net for workers who lose a job - designed to help all Americans prosper in a world increasingly characterized by outsourcing, globalization, and an ever increasing rate of technological change.
The Moral Case on Outsourcing is now available in hardcover from online retailers in the U.S. and U.K. or by request through most retail bookstores. Digital versions for ebook readers will be available in the second half of June, 2012.
About Scott Phillips
Scott Phillips is a long-time IAOP member and special advisor to its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee. He has more than 15 years of experience in the Information Technology industry of global consulting and outsourcing services. Prior to his IT career, he was a Peace Corps volunteer and headquarters staff member. These two disparate careers provide a unique perspective for looking at the moral case on outsourcing.

McDonald's Opens Pop Up Drive-Thru On City Street Corner [Video]
BKWLD shot real people interacting with the new technology using hidden cameras for the fast food giant's latest campaign.
BKWLD's digital experts worked with creative agency Hoffman Lewis to develop an integrated campaign for McDonald's. Their goal was to increase brand favorability and more specifically, breakfast sales in the St. Louis market. Ads were produced featuring a pop-up menu and call box on the pavement that speaks "Good morning!" to people walking past it. If they placed an order, it was delivered to them by a man on a scooter.
Six 30 second spots were created, with unique and unexpected moments featuring the general public of St. Louis. Working entirely with non-actors, the BKWLD team designed real situations where McDonald's breakfast could help make the 'ordinary a bit more extraordinary.' These were shot with hidden camera crews and then transformed into the TV spots. BKWLD AD Ethan Martin said:
The spots needed to feel fun and honest, but not become a cliché flash-mob-thing. We collaborated with HL to choose the best combination of locations and relating scenarios that were both strategic to the messaging, while maintaining an efficient production budget and timeline.
BKWLD also created a digital hub for the GoodMorningSTL campaign, with a mobile-friendly site that aggregated users' social media content from Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag #goodmorningstl. Special offers and contest winners were announced daily. You can check out a GoodMorningSTL ad below:

Revista de Sociologia e Política
On-line version ISSN 1678-9873
MARQUES, Francisco Paulo Jamil Almeida. The problem of political participation within the deliberative model of democracy. Rev. Sociol. Polit. [online]. 2012, vol.20, n.41, pp.21-35. ISSN 1678-9873. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0104-44782012000100003.
This paper discusses the premises of the deliberative model of democracy as they address the issue of political participation. We attempt to clarify what political participation means for those who use this model, while at the same time looking at some of the major critiques that have been directed toward it. Through a review of an important part of the literature, and without losing sight of earlier systematizations of democratic theory, three fundamental conditions for engendering participation according to this discursive model are pointed to: political institutions should create and offer citizens opportunities to participate in public input; improvement in people's socio-economic condition must be made; attention should be given to particular principles that have consistent regulatory influence on the interactions and arguments in question. This is followed by attention to the criticisms raised and flaws detected by deliberationism's detractors. At the end of the text, a summary of the strengths and weaknesses of the model is presented, along with a discussion of the problem of participation in contemporary democracies.
Keywords : Participation; Deliberation; Democracy; Representation.
