At least half of all Android users will be able to run it, unlike the 100% of Apple users who won't be able to due to Apple being so restrictive

I haven't seen apple pioneer anything in a long time. Back on "iOS" 1.0 us tinkerers made a place to download and share apps because apple hadn't felt the need for them. That place was called Installer. Version 2.0 of "IOS" comes out and the "new" and "revolutionary" app store was revealed.And then google did what its best at doing. Copy!
Its just pathetic that you follow followers.
I prefer following the pioneers.. The leaders.
I have my ifaith. Seems like u sold it to the green gunk in return for a weather widget on the lockscreen.
M out.
Moving on, when the iPhone was born it had less functionality than most other phones. Like built in notes or even a calender. Than apple "innovated" those apps and sold them for a $10 upgrade until later made free.
There are plenty of other examples but I'll sum it up with a couple major ones.
Siri wasn't created by apple, it was bought and was actually almost bought by Verizon to be put on flagship android devices.
The IOS notification center is a blatant rip off of the android pull down notification, if you don't think so you are in denial.
Apple is known to put old parts in a shine body and charge premium prices. You will always have old hardware For more than the newest hardware.
Also you think that all of your apple products are more secure but what you fail to realize is that the methods used on Mac and iOS are harder to find and protect against because of the closed source nature of the OS.
Android is much more fragmented... period. We know all you fandroids really love Apple products! You must since so many of you frequent this Apple products forum. It's OK, we understand your love for all things Apple.
Give me a sec to grab a beer, lol, this is beautiful. I am just wondering, will it ever end. Well, for sure, no and Apple and Google will increase and increase their profits and you will still fight over such a marginal gadget, called phone. ......pathetic
I am on this forum because I used to own an iPhone. Sold it and got an android instead though, and I occasionally come back to check up on my work. I used to make icons for themes as you can tell from my amounts of thanks <---
Anyways, I don't blame ya. Android is much more fragmented, but that is if you let it be. When shopping for an android phone, why would you buy a low end one? Buy the latest and greatest and it should run 99.9% of all the apps on the playstore (besides tablets ones obviously). Update for your device waiting to long? Get a Nexus device. Don't want a Nexus device? Simply root, flash, and boom. You're up to date and it took a few minutes.
People think flashing and rooting ruins the experience, as if you have to find a back road to update to the latest android OS, but when you think of it, Google WANTS you to root, and toy around with its OS. It's open source FOR A REASON. With Apple, they push out as many software updates as they can just to block a jailbreak. For Google, they don't care! Go ahead and root your phone. No big deal, it's YOUR phone. It's like buying a computer and the computer manufacture tells you what you can do and not do on YOUR computer. lolwut?
Once you have your iPhone jailbroken it's so much better than a droid. And really you only gotta JB once a year, and thats if you wanna keep up with the current iOS. Also I have never broken an iPhone. Dropped em soaked em, nothing, still good as gold. My Galaxy S2X gets wet for a minute and gone, out like a damn light. So I would say Apple is better overall though it does have it's flaws. And thank god that FB Home BS isn't coming to plague our iOS's anytime soon.. Hopefully never
I've owned ~4-5 Android phones and have yet to break one? Never put cases on them either. Stop using it like a moron and you won't have a problem.
As for the topic on hand, yes there is a lot of fragmentation because there is a large variety of android phones, covering every price point. If you don't want a problem with fragmentation, spend 200-300 to get a top of the line Android phone (comparable to iPhone prices) and you won't have a problem. Ie, GS3, One X, One, Note 2, Nexus 4, etc. It's just stupid to use the free with contract phones as "oMg, itz soo lagy!one lulz android 2.1".
At least jailbreaking my iPhone doesn't neuter it.
Also the power widget is a blatant rip off of SBSettings, barrel had screen transitions way before android launchers did...the list goes on.

The power widget has been implemented to android long before so settings LOL.
And launchers did not copy barrel Lmao!! And if anything, launchers on android support MORE animations. And no it doesn't kill battery.
Rooting your phone will never neuter it. Adding a new custom ROM, is a different story. You're putting an entirely modified operating system on there. Try doing an engine swap in a car and see how issue-less it really is. There are always ROMs that are the same as stock, with less bloat, quicker, better battery life, and will not cripple anything.
And you still didn't disprove my point. iPhone still needs to be jailbroken to do things that an Android phone does out of the box. And you managed to find one tweak....that's made by the same developer, how shocking that it came on Android after!
You mean to tell me that having a widget that easily lets me switch settings is a blatant rip off of sbsettinggs? You're stretching it a bit too far there buddy, it's just common sense that the widget would exist. There's a widget for everything else! The probability of there being a widget that controls settings is pretty darn high.

1st October 2009
September was a month of two halves. The first half had very high water and the second half had very little! Not many fresh salmon entered the system during the month and most of the fish landed were fish that had come in during July and August. We finished the season with 60 salmon at Ballynahinch with only 15 taken during September. The largest fish of the month fell to regular angler, Miles McDowell who took a 9lb salmon from Beat 2 on a small Silver Stoat. Most of the September catches were either on size 12 salmon flies or size 12 trout flies such as Connemara Blacks or Claret Bumbles.
There were some sizeable sea trout still knocking around the river and a few were landed up to 2lbs. These fish should provide some good spawning this winter. Given that the salmon catch was down 50% on 2008, the run through the counter was only down by 20%. This poor catch is mostly attributable to the torrential rain which beset the country throughout the months of July and August (our most productive months).
The "fish out" on the last day of the season was an enjoyable day out for all involved. Despite the experienced anglers on the river for the day, only one salmon was caught by Colin McDowell, on a Silver Stoat Variant. Greg Forde nearly pipped him to the post in the dying minutes but lost his fish at Sna beg! Colin was presented the Mikey Conneely Perpetual Trophy by his team captain on the day, Tom McManus.
3rd September 2009
The past month has been very tough on the fishery with extremely high water levels since 16th August. Prior to that there were 7 salmon taken in a three day period prior to the rain arriving. Unfortunately there have only been 2 fish landed since 24th August with a nice 6lb fish taken from Sna Beg today.
If the rain stops September will fish well as there are reasonable numbers of fish in the river. Bookings can be made through the hotel on 095 31006
10th August 2009
Water and weather conditions remain very good here at Ballynahinch. The catch remains slow, however, with only 5 fish landed for the week. Nicky Strauss caught a fresh sea liced fish on Beat 1 on Saturday which is encouraging to know fish are still running. The total number in the book stands at 36, about 50% down on last year and 30% down on 2007.
We have 1900 to date over the counter compared to 2,300 in 2008 and 2,200 in 2007. This is only a 17% reduction in the run compared to the average of the past couple of years. I would envisage us ending up with about 2,300 for the year. This reduction, against bad spawning in 2005 and a terrible run throughout the country this year means that we are fairing out very well. By all accounts, the reports I am hearing from other fisheries on the west coast are not good. Hopefully there will be a late run in these fisheries; however, this is looking more unlikely as the weeks move on.
The water level rose last night with rain and Ranji's Rock remains covered. Fish are holding in good numbers at Greenpoint 1, under the hotel, at the neck of Beat 2, around the Iron Pier and at the Furze Bush on Beat 4.
4th August 2009
Whilst the end of July is normally one of the top weeks at Ballynahinch, 2009 is not one to be remembered! The water level, weather and numbers of fish in the river was perfect. The only problem was that the salmon were simply not taking. Only 4 salmon were landed for the past week compared to about 12 for 2008. The numbers of fish over the counter is only 10% against last year, which is very encouraging considering the bad news which is coming out of the other fisheries in Ireland.
We have had a considerable amount of rain over the past few days and the river has risen quite substantially. Two fish were landed yesterday of 6lbs and 7lbs so things are looking more encouraging. When the water drops off a bit and the fish settle things we should start to have some consistent fishing.
Beats are still available for August and September and can be booked directly with the hotel on +353 95 31006
22nd July 2009
We are having a very steady season on the fishing front. It's certainly not terrible; however, it's not a bumper year. There is 28 fish in the book including three today (Beats 1, 4, 7) and two yesterday (Beats 1,4). Regular anglers to catch fish over the past week have been Paul Edwards (a beautiful 11lb fish from Beat 1), Chris Warne, Donna Warne, John McDowall, Colin McDowell and Jack Meredith. The "Ballynahinch" fish have only just started to arrive on the spring tides which we are getting at the moment. I was just standing on the bridge at Beat 7 an hour ago and counted 15 salmon below me in Stanley's Run where I watched a grilse come up and take John McDowall's yellow shrimp. He landed a lovely fish of about 6lbs with long tailed lice.
The run up the counter is about 20% down on 2008 whilst only 10% down on 2007. The run timing is very similar to 2007 which should mean that we will expect a good run of fish over the next ten days (fingers crossed).
The large sea trout which ran during June have been caught throughout the system over the past week. A reasonable number of fish up to 3lb in weight have been landed and released. The smaller finnock have not returned in any numbers to the catchment this year, however, this seems to be common throughout most of the sea trout fisheries in the country in 2009.
There is still availability in August on the river and if we get rain it should be fairly productive. Bookings can be made through the reception at the hotel on 095 31006
9th July 2009
A good deal of rain fell over the past week and the river is pretty much in perfect order for this time of year. The grilse are incredibly late to arrive at the coast this year which seems to be a common theme across the west coast. We landed 4 grilse for the week and lost a few more. The streams in Beat 1 and Beat 4 seem to be the best spots although Beat 2 has a good deal of fish at the neck. The heavy rain promised for the weekend should bring some more fish into the system.
The sea trout fishing is very poor and it is unlikely that we will see many more sea trout coming back into the system over the coming weeks. Invariably most of the finnock would be in the river by now. There is some good brown trout fishing in the evening around the hotel for those that are willing to brave the midges!
2nd July 2009
The fishing at Ballynahinch has been plagued with low water for the past months The violent thundery rain showers which have been falling on the east coast have not made their way over to us. This means that there is a good deal of salmon now starting to back up in the lower pools below the fish counter. Some very large multi sea winter fish are amongst the smaller grilse and sea trout. There have been four grilse landed over the past few days with most of the action in the pool directly downstream of the counter. Nick Ashe (pictured) took two salmon last night from this spot whilst fishing for sea trout with a small silver doctor. This pool is traditionally a sea trout pool; however, with the construction of the counter it is starting to hold fish in low water.
The sea trout run has been very poor over the past couple of weeks and hopefully when the rain finally arrives we will see them arriving in good numbers. There is still availability on the river for a lot of days in July. Beats can be booked by ringing the hotel on +353 95 31006.
25th June 2009
We were very lucky to receive a good night's rain last Wednesday which managed to bring the river from very low to low! There was great action over the counter from Wednesday through to Saturday when a good deal of spring salmon (up to 20lbs) were spotted on the camera. The sea trout run is reasonable, however, they haven't arrived in great numbers yet. Hopefully they will come soon. The grilse appear to be late this year again with only small numbers in the lower beats at present. This seems to be the case on most of the other fisheries in the area.
Cyril Biggins managed to tempt a beautiful fresh grilse from the stream of Beat 4/5 last night on a silver stoat at 2230hrs. This seems to be the best time of the day as the summer weather is not working in our favour. Another 5lb grilse was sportingly returned to Sna Beg on Saturday by a visiting angler out fishing for sea trout.
The continuing presence of the salmon farm in Bertraghboy Bay is a great concern for all at Ballynahinch and we are working tirelessly to ensure that our salmon and sea trout are adequately protected from sea lice infestation emanating from these farms.
11th June 2009
The spring fishing at Ballynahinch has been above average at Ballynahinch for 2009. As we are traditionally a spring fishery, the fishing effort is not immense and as a result few fish are caught. There are however on average, 2 springers per day running through the counter all of which appear to be double figured fish. There has been a small run of maiden sea trout up to 3lbs trickling in since the middle of May, however, only small numbers have been caught.
The best springers of the season for 2009 were caught by regular visitor Neil Loughrey (pictured), Stephen Cullinane and Peter Eaton whilst a good few others were lost at the net. The prospects are for a great year's sea trout fishing at an average season for grilse.
Water levels are currently very low and as soon as the next flood arrives we will see large number of sea trout and the first few grilse coming in from the sea. Evening fishing for resident browns up to 1lb has proved to be very productive for hotel guests and is certainly worth a try. There is still a small number of places left on the fishery for July and August which can be booked by ringing the hotel on +353 95 31006.

This Wellcraft 330 Coastal is not your average Chesapeake Bay fishing boat. A quick review reveals a serious fishing boat with numerous fishing amenities such as aluminum rod holders behind the helm, large in-floor fish boxes, live aerated bait well with cutting board behind the helm seat and behind the passenger seat, a couple of large built in tackle boxes with a fish cleaning station above them.
This 330 Coastal with its large beam of 12.5 feet has a cockpit area large enough for 3 to 4 fisherman to fish from, especially when you take out the removable bench seat across the back of the cockpit area. Both the helm and passenger seat are wide enough to hold two adults comfortably. Around the cockpit there are numerous beverage holders, courtesy lights and built in storage areas for tackle, fishing rods and fishing gear.
The tackle center on the port side has storage and a freshwater wash down system. The helm station, equipped with all the necessary controls for the twin MerCruiser 7.4 EFI's, also is a lockable compartment for radios.The 330 Coastal is equipped with a number of optional packages including a generator, air conditioner and stereo.
The cabin has a full fibreglass liner with a snap-in carpet. The cabin is complete with all the usual amenities including a galley featuring a coffeemaker, microwave, refrigerator, 2 burner stove and sink. The cabin is laid out with a large v berth and a dinette table which converts to a berth.
The Wellcraft 330 Coastal is laid out as a serious fishing boat with a functional cabin to enjoy your time on the water whether you are out for a serious day of fishing or cruising the waterways with your family.
The 330 Coastal offers a balance of fishing functionality and cruising comforts found in few 33 foot fishing boats.

For several years the 330 Coastal was the largest model in Wellcraft's fleet of fishing boats. Introduced in 1989, she's constructed on a modified-V hull with a relatively wide beam and prop-pockets (side exhausts were added in 1992). Designed as a dedicated sport-fisherman, the 330 Coastal came with a good inventory of standard equipment including two in-deck fish boxes, a circular livewell, tackle center, and a transom door. Both helm and companion seats are mounted on raised boxes with built-in livewell and bait-prep station that swing back for engine access. Although she's primarily a fishing boat, the cabin accommodations are suitable for weekend cruising with berths for four, a full galley, convertible dinette, and enclosed head/shower. Note that oval ports replaced the original cabin windows in 1998. A bow pulpit was standard, and the side decks are wide enough for secure bow access.

Museum of the City of New York Receives Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities
New York, NY
The Museum of the City of New York is pleased to announce the generous support of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) for the project Illuminating New York City History through Material Culture: A Proposal to Process, Catalog, Digitize, and Rehouse the Ephemera Collections of the Museum of the City of New York. The application, submitted to the NEH Humanities Collections and Reference Resources grant opportunity in July 2013, outlines a plan to increase public access to over 6,500 objects of material culture over the course of two years. The Museum was notified of the successful funding of this application in the amount of $125,000 by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's office in March 2014, by instruction of the NEH.
The City Museum's Ephemera Collections are a treasure trove of tangible and eloquent, but often humble items that survive from a vast range of events and organizations over the course of more than two hundred years. Collections include advertisements, handbills, pamphlets, menus, invitations, medals, pins, buttons, badges, three-dimensional souvenirs, and printed textiles, such as ribbons and sashes. These objects-the minor and transient documents and souvenirs of everyday life-provide visual and material insight into New Yorkers' engagement with the social, creative, civic, political, and physical dynamics of the city, from the Colonial era to the present day.
These collections provide extensive documentation of public events, such as the openings of the Brooklyn Bridge (1883), the Statue of Liberty (1875), and the subway system (1904); national events, such as a ceremony to mourn the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln (1865); and observances such as the centennial of George Washington's inauguration (1889), the Hudson-Fulton Celebration on the 300th anniversary of Henry Hudson's voyage to New York (1909), and the 25th anniversary of the consolidation of the five boroughs (1924). In addition to such "official" occasions, these materials capture a diverse array of political, cultural, and social events on topics from woman suffrage to the AIDS epidemic; commercial entertainments, from the city's early 20th-century amusements parks to 1970s discos; and social occasions ranging from a visit to the home of "the" Mrs. Astor (1881), to a notice for the Irving Club Calico Hop (1871). The ephemera also represent professional and fraternal organizations as disparate as the Women's Press Club, the American Society of Civil Engineers, and the Irish Emigrant Society, as well as political organizations and reform groups ranging from the Republic Sound Money Club to Tammany Hall to the West Flushing Society of the Cadets of Temperance. Objects from the Ephemera Collections appear in many of the Museum's recent exhibitions and publications, including Gilded New York, Activist New York, A Beautiful Way to Go: New York's Green-Wood Cemetery, and Capital of Capital: New York's Banks and the Creation of a Global Economy.

Learning through collaboration and co-production in the Singapore film industry : opportunities for development
Wong, Caroline & Matthews, Judy H. (2009) Learning through collaboration and co-production in the Singapore film industry : opportunities for development. In ANZIBA : Australian and New Zealand International Business Academy Conference – The Future of Asia-Pacific Business: Beyond the Crisis, 15-17 April, 2009, Brisbane, Australia.
|Accepted Version (PDF 85kB)
Co-production and strategic partnerships may generate valuable learning opportunities for firms to access to the knowledge and expertise of their partners. Such sharing and transfer of knowledge has become an increasingly common way for organising corporate finance and resources. However, not all collaborations result in a net positive experience for both partners. It can be a zero-sum game in which the partner learning the fastest dominates the relationship. In some cases, failure to gain access to partner knowledge results in unequal benefits accruing from such alliances. By examining the Singapore film industry from a learning perspective and taking into account particular forms of alliances, the study contributes to our understanding of the potential benefit and challenges of coproduction as a strategy for development.

Football fest provides poor with hope for future
By Gideon Long
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters Life!) - The World Cup is not the only soccer tournament reaching its climax in Johannesburg this weekend.
Just a few miles from Soccer City, where Spain take on the Netherlands on Sunday night in a match that will be watched by tens of millions of people across the globe, another final will take place in very different circumstances.
It will be staged in Alexandra, one of the city's poorest townships and a hotbed of protest during the apartheid years in South Africa.
Amid the corrugated iron shacks and slum housing, where the young Nelson Mandela once lived, two groups of teenagers will face off in the deciding match of "Football for Hope," a five-a-side tournament running alongside the World Cup.
Just as at the World Cup, 32 teams have taken part in the tournament in recent weeks.
But rather than playing for their countries, the players here are representing community groups from around the world that have one thing in common -- they all use football, in one way or another, to try to make the world a better place.
So, for example, there is a delegation from Cambodia that encourages children to play football, and then -- once it has their attention -- teaches them about the danger of land mines.
Other delegations have come from within Africa, where they use football to bring kids together and educate them about HIV and AIDS. Continued...

HP's Envy Spectre 14 dares to be different with its glass lid and palm-rest, and as long as you don't touch, it's a very attractive look. However, as well as being a fingerprint magnet, it adds slipperiness and weight, and HP's decision to combine it with plastic detracts from the laptop's premium feel. This Spectre does have a few other aces up its sleeve. Class-leading audio, a high-res 14in screen and removable battery are among the highlights. But overall, while the HP Envy 14 Spectre does appeal, it's not quite enough to justify its cost.
Regarding the prominent palm rest that sits above the keyboard surround - my understanding is that this helps prevent the keys from touching the surface of the display when the laptop is closed. It usually doesn't work, mind you...
is it just me or does this look exactly alike to a macbook?

Nissan to Break Ground on Tennessee Lithium-Ion Battery Plant
Nissan is poised to break ground on a $1 billion lithium-ion battery plant at its massive facility in Smyrna, Tenn. The plant will include three "modules" which can produce 54,000 electric car batteries a year. Each module will cost $350 million to construct, which means the bulk of the loan the Department of Energy is giving to Nissan will be spent on battery production. The Japanese automaker is also retooling one existing assembly line in Smyrna to produce its first electric, zero emissions vehicle, the Leaf. Nissan is also making similar investments in battery manufacturing at other plants around the world, including one in northeast England. The Leaf, dubbed the world's "first electric car designed for affordability and real world requirements," is slated for launch in Japan late in 2010 and in the U.S. by 2012. Nissan operates assembly plants in the Southern Automotive Corridor in Canton, Miss. and in Smyrna and its North American headquarters is located in Nashville. The Japanese automaker also operates other facilities in the South, including distribution centers and engine plants.
Penske Pulls the Plug on Saturn Deal
On September 30, the Penske Automotive Group announced that it has backed out of a potential acquisition of the Saturn brand from General Motors. Penske officials had an agreement with GM where the Detroit automaker would continue assembling Saturn models for a certain period of time. At the end of that period, Penske would have had to find another automotive manufacturer to build the Saturn brand. Penske had negotiated terms and conditions with Renault's Korean division, Renault Samsung Motors, to take over the manufacturing of Saturn models. However, those negotiations were terminated by Renault's board of directors in late September. GM and Penske announced a preliminary sale of Saturn in June. GM announced it will now shut down the Saturn brand and its dealership network.
Kia Gears Up for November Production Launch
Kia officials announced in late September that the opening of its new plant in West Point, Ga. is on schedule to begin production for the first time in mid-November. The first 2011 models assembled at the West Georgia facility, including the Sorento SUV, will be ready to ship by truck and train to dealership locations in the U.S. and Canada at some point in January 2010. At full production, the Kia plant has the capacity to assemble 300,000 vehicles a year. In August, Kia reported a 16.4 percent increase in sales of its vehicles.
Automotive Startup Announces Big Plans in Alabama
On September 23, Yung "Benjamin" Yeung, the former chairman of Brilliance China Automotive Holdings, announced that his new automotive venture, Hybrid Kinetic Motors (HK Motors), plans to build a $1.5 billion, 6,000-employee assembly plant in South Alabama. The site of the prospective plant is located north of Bay Minette in Baldwin County. At a news conference attended by local and state leaders as well as Alabama Gov. Bob Riley, details of the new vehicles were presented. HK plans to build cars, SUVs, crossovers and trucks at the facility that run on new technologies that combine compressed natural gas, gasoline and electricity. Officials with both the company and the state of Alabama said that the company has not raised enough funds as of yet to build the plant and that incentives will not be negotiated until more money is raised for the venture.
Company Adding Jobs to Supply VW, BMW
Brose Tuscaloosa announced in September it plans to invest $4.1 million and create 30 new jobs at its Tuscaloosa, Ala. plant to accommodate future production of engine cooling fans for BMW in Greer, S.C. and seat components for the new VW plant in Chattanooga. Brose is adding 39,000 square feet of manufacturing space at its facility in Alabama. Brose also produces door systems for Mercedes-Benz at its plant in Vance, Ala.
BMW Celebrates 15th Anniversary in South Carolina
On September 8, 1994, the first U.S. made BMW 318i rolled off the line in Greer, S.C. Fifteen years later a right-handed drive Monaco Blue X6 xDrive 35i rolled off the line, marking the 1,500,000th BMW vehicle to be assembled in South Carolina. The vehicle was shipped to an owner in Hong Kong. Today, BMW employs more than 5,000 workers in the Upstate region of South Carolina and over the last 15 years the German automaker has invested more than $4 billion in the facility.
One-Millionth Alabama-Made Mercedes SUV Rolls off Line
In September, Mercedes-Benz celebrated the one-millionth M-Class SUV assembled at its plant in Tuscaloosa County, Ala. The 1 millionth Alabama-made M-Class is a ML 350 BlueTec diesel that was shipped to a Mercedes dealership on the West Coast. The German automaker rolled off the first M-Class in Alabama in February of 1997.
Mercedes Cutting 200 Jobs at Alabama Plant
In September, Mercedes-Benz announced it will trim 200 jobs at its Vance, Ala. plant by the end of the year, bringing the total work force to about 2,800 workers for 2010. In 2008, Mercedes employed about 4,000 workers at the plant. Approximately 1,000 of those took buyout options in the last quarter of 2008.
Carter Logistics Opens Tennessee Cross-Dock Operation
Carter Logistics, a third-party logistics provider, recently announced the opening of a cross-dock facility that will create 75 new jobs in Andersonville, Tenn. The new facility will support Toyota Motor Engineering and Manufacturing North America's consolidation and supply chain efforts. The facility, which occupies the former Flowers Bakery plant in Andersonville, opened on September 1.
Toyota Moving Small Truck Production to San Antonio
After announcing it is moving production out of the California plant it shared with GM, Toyota officials recently decided to move assembly of its Tacoma truck model to its plant in San Antonio. Since 2006 the Japanese automaker has produced only one model in San Antonio and that is the full sized Tundra pickup. Sales of the Tundra have declined over the last two years and news of a new model coming to the San Antonio plant will be welcomed by the 21 parts suppliers located onsite. Toyota will end production at its plant in Freemont, Calif. in the spring of 2010 and begin assembly of the Tacoma in San Antonio in the summer. GM has already stopped production at the California plant. As many as 1,000 new jobs are expected to be created at the San Antonio plant.
Continental Closing Alabama Plant
Continental Automotive Systems announced it will close its automotive parts plant in Huntsville by December 31. The product lines made by Continental in Huntsville will be relocated to plants in Seguin, Tex. and to two locations in Mexico. The plant currently houses approximately 1,000 employees.
VW Adding to Chattanooga Plant
In the early fall quarter, Volkswagen officials announced they are adding 43,000 square feet of production space to the assembly portion of the plant that the German automaker continues to build in Chattanooga, Tenn. The added space will enable VW to boost production capacity in the future. Initial production of 150,000 vehicles annually at the plant is still planned when the $1 billion facility opens for business in 2011.
Dalkotech Announces New S.C. Facility
Canada-based Dalkotech, a maker of welded and machined parts such as hydraulic and fuel tanks, announced in late September it is locating a new facility in Newberry County, S.C. The deal is expected to create 50 new jobs.

East Texas School Drops 7th Grade Football
The East Texas town of Marshall is in the news for dropping their 7th grade football program. But while reports say they did it for safety reasons, the man behind the idea told KTRH News a very different story.
The New York Times said that Marshall was doing this because of concerns over concussions, but coach and Athletic Director Clint Harper told KTRH those are not the reasons he told them.
"When I was in junior high we didn't have 7th grade football. It goes back to tradition. The article in the New York Times says it had to do with concussions, but it really goes back to the way it was done when I was here," Harper said.
Harper says Marshall has had success in football even without having 7th grade football.
"We've played in three state championships over the last 15, 20 years now and all three of those teams never played 7th grade football," Harper stated.
It's not that safety isn't a concern. It is. Harper says the bigger concern is teaching the kids at that age to play the right way.
"I'm not against contact football, but we have to have coaches teaching fundamentals. We have to have coaches teaching kids how to properly tackle," Harper explained.
"There's nobody that loves football more than I do. I think it's the greatest game ever made. But if we're going to play kids in a contact sports at such a young age we have to teach them proper fundamentals," Harper told KTRH.
Harper says his father, a Hall of Fame coach in East Texas, didn't let him play until he was in the 8th grade, and it didn't hurt him at all. He went on to play on the college level.

Barbara served a variety of pies for dessert. I tried the rhubarb and strawberry pie because there was a reference to rhubarb tarts in the story, "Free Radicals." She also served some hot spiced apple cider that was yummy!
I was interested in hearing which story the ladies liked best. The consensus: "Free Radicals" was the favorite. It is about a lady named Nita whose husband has recently died of a sudden heart attack; Nita is also a cancer survivor. This story's brilliance is how Nita outwits a mass murderer to save her own life.
The Divas also enjoyed the title story, "Too Much Happiness," based on the real life story of Russian mathematician Sophia Kovalevsky.
Probably the story that elicited the most giggles and blushes is the story "Wenlock Edge." I don't want to give away any spoilers, but I do like the plot twist at the end of this one.
Munro's stories remind me a little of Flannery O'Connor's. Munro definitely has a penchant for the "freak" as a character just like O'Connor, but without the Catholic angst. As a matter of fact, Munro's characters tend to be agnostic hippies. And I must say that I do prefer reading about freakish Southern characters in the Protestant South than Canadian agnostic hippies. However, this is probably an unfair comparison because I am very Southern and Flannery O'Connor is one of my favorite writers. But even in saying that, Munro is an excellent writer, too. I plan on reading more of her stories. Also, the title is totally misleading. There is not too much happiness in any of these stories.
I will not feature a book for Literary Friday this week because I will be spending the day decorating for Christmas with my family. Have you read any good books lately?
Until next time...
Happy reading!

The optical modelling of the human lens
Smith, George, Pierscionek, Barbara K., & Atchison, David A. (1991) The optical modelling of the human lens. Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, 11(4), pp. 359-369.
The effect of varying lens shape factors and refractive index distribution on two lens performance characteristics (equivalent power and spherical aberration) are considered, using a mathematical model of the human lens which is based upon ellipsoidal iso-indical contours. Values of radii of curvature based on the work of various authors are used to determine asphericity and these inferred values compared with previous measurement. Discrepancies are found and although asphericity has no effect on equivalent power, it does affect the spherical aberration. Based on preliminary findings of the refractive index distribution in the equatorial plane of human lenses, the index distribution is described by a polynomial in the Y (the distance from the optical axis in the equatorial plane), the coefficients of which are polynomials in Z (the distance along the optical axis). The shape of the index profile was found to have a significant effect on the equivalent power and spherical aberration of the lens. The results indicate that more information on surface asphericity and accurate measurement of the index profile in the sagittal plane are required for more accurate modelling of the human lens.

By Richard Clarke
Arsène Wenger knows he must spend his money "in the right way" if he decides to strengthen his squad before the transfer window closes.
The Arsenal manager has funds available and the sale of two major players would suggest he needs to go into the market.
However the Frenchman is not so sure. After the 1-0 win at Hannover he cautioned against knee-jerk reactions and revealed he was not close to bringing in a new name.
"I feel we are strong enough but if we can add then we will do it," he said.
"In England people think that all the problems can be sorted out by buying players.
"I believe the biggest target is to work hard in training, improve what we can improve and have confidence in the players that we have.
"If we need to add then we will. We have money available so for us it is now [important] to spend it in the right way when we do it or if we do it.
"But unfortunately I cannot tell you that we are close to signing anyone at the moment."
The official confirmation of any new addition will appear first on Arsenal.com.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Fuel containers large enough to hold the amount of gas in the tank.
Wrench set
Socket set
Fuel pump replacement
Shop towels
Protective eye wear and clothing
Fuel filter
Fuel line removal tool
Fuel tank support
Begin with the vehicle safety raised in the air enough to access the fuel tank. Use jack stands for additional safety. (No smoking or open flame.)
Step 1
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal, this will avoid sparks while working with a flammable liquid. (Note: Record pre-set radio stations so they can be re-entered when the job is complete.)
Disconnecting Negative Battery Terminal
Step 2
- After the battery has been disconnected, remove the gas cap and insert a hard plastic line into the filler neck to draw the fuel out. There are a number of methods to perform this by causing a siphon. Once the gas has started flowing keep the container below the level of the tank. (Note: Gasoline and the fumes are highly flammable, so use appropriate precautions.)
Gas Siphon with Gas Can
Step 3
- Locate and remove gas tank filler neck mounting bolts.
Remove Filler Neck Mounting Bolts
Step 4
- Once the filler neck mounting bolts have been removed, locate and disconnect electrical connectors to fuel tank.
Disconnect Electrical Connectors
Step 5
- Next, locate and disconnect fuel line using a fuel line removal tool. (Note: Needed for some models such as Ford.) Fuel will leak at this point so be ready to use a fluid catch basin.
Disconnection Fuel Lines Using Removal Tool
Step 6
- After liquid fuel lines have been removed, locate and disconnect fuel vapor lines form the fuel tank.
Removing Fuel Vapor Lines
Step 7
- Some fuel vapor lines are held in place by a retainer clip. Use a small screwdriver to release and remove the clip while removing the line.
Fuel Line Retainer Clip
Step 8
- Once all fuel lines have been released from the tank, support the tank using a device. This can be done in a number of ways, a fuel tank empty weighs about 30 to 40 pounds.
Fuel Tank Support Device
Step 9
- Locate and release tank holder supports, There are two in most cases, at this point the tanks will become loose.
Release Fuel Tank Supports
Step 10
- After the tanks mounts have been removed the tank will become loose. Lower the tank and release top mounted fuel lines or electrical connectors if any.
Removing Fuel Lines and Connectors
Step 11
- Once the tank has been removed, disconnect fuel lines from the fuel pump.
Fuel Line Release Tool
Step 12
- Next, remove fuel pump mounting bolts which hold the pump to the fuel tank.
Removing Fuel Pump Mounting Bolts
Step 13
- After the mounting bolts have been removed, use a standard screwdriver to gently pry off the fuel pump cover or housing.
Cover Removed Exposing Fuel Pump
Step 14
- Next, Release the fuel pump retainer clips if any. Most models are designed with the fuel pump connected to the cover plate.
Releasing Fuel Pump Retainer Clips
Step 15
- Once the fuel pump retainer clip has been released, gently lift the pump from the fuel tank. Most pump units incorporate the fuel level sender as well.
Fuel Pump Removed
Step 16
- After the fuel pump has been removed use a flashlight to inspect the tank for debris and clean as needed. (Note: A small amount of debris is normal.)
Fuel Tank Inspection
Step 17
- Next, match the failed pump to the replacement pump, make sure all electrical and fuel line connections are the same. Clean mounting surfaces using a shop towel and carburetor cleaner. Gently lower the replacement pump into the fuel tank taking note on fuel level sender orientation.
Installing New Fuel Pump
Step 18
- Once the pump has been lowered into position press the pump into place. Use any new O ring seals or gaskets provided with the replacement pump.
New Fuel Pump Installed
Step 19
- After the fuel pump is securely in place, reinstall pump plate mounting bolts.
Reinstalling Pump Plate Mounting Bolts
Step 20
- Then, tighten the fuel pump mounting bolts using a star pattern to ensure a proper seal to the fuel tank.
Tighten Fuel Pump Mounting Bolts
After completing these steps, reverse the order to reinstall the tank back into the vehicle. It's best if a
new fuel filter
is installed at the time of the new fuel pump assembly. Add gas to the fuel tank before turning the ignition key, this will lubricate the pump.
Helpful Information
Some manufacturers provide an access door to service the fuel pump, be sure to research this information before beginning. To test for a fuel pump failure a
fuel system pressure test
must be performed. Sometimes the the drive shaft must be removed along with the fuel tank. The automotive engine is designed to operate on a specific fuel system pressure which is vital to
engine performance
. To maintain a constant pressure, the
fuel pump
is located in the fuel tank and is comprised of an electric motor coupled to a small internal vein style pump. Fuel pumps have a pressure relief valve that allows fuel to bypass while recalculating inside the fuel tank. Direct injection fuel pumps utilize an internal pressure regulator, while having only one liquid fuel line routed to the engine as opposed to two, (pressure and return lines.) When the ignition key is turned the fuel pump relay engages while supplying electrical power to the pump. This relay is controlled by the main
which must detect engine rotation before signaling the relay. When servicing a truck fuel pump there is the option to remove the bed to access the assembly.
Best Practices
Replace the
fuel filter
when replacing the pump, debris can be dislodged and enter the fuel filter during a pump failure.
Have a fire extinguisher available.
Inspect fuel pump electrical connector for burns or heated spots and replace if damaged. A
burned connector
can cause the pump to intermittently fail.
The fuel pump is controlled by a relay, this
should be tested to ensure proper operation.
Do not remove tank unless empty or close to empty, a full gas tank is heavy and can cause injury.

In finding Rob Ford guilty of violating conflict-of-interest legislation, a Superior Court judge "did the opposite of what the law demands," the mayor's lawyer contends.
In a factum filed in divisional court Wednesday Alan Lenczner says Justice Charles Hackland made several errors of law, warranting a reversal of his November ruling. The judge ordered Mr. Ford out of office after finding he contravened the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act (MCIA) by voting on a matter concerning $3,150 in donations to his private football foundation.
"It is respectfully submitted that [Judge Hackland], from the outset, adopted the wrong approach," the factum notes, citing four grounds for appeal, including the judge's failure to find that Mr. Ford made a genuine error in judgment. "Rather than applying the ordinary meaning to plain language, and seeking to uphold the democratic decision of the voters who elected the mayor, by construing the MCIA 'strictly' and…

Housing services help the needy
Affordable quality housing has been provided by the Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS) for nearly 60 years.
'For many years we have had a wide range of programmes and services designed to benefit the community that go beyond our regular business activities. We refer to all of our services as 'contributing with a heart',' said Margaret Chan, HKHS director of corporate services.
For example, the HKHS Sham Shui Po, 'Green Lane' revitalisation programme, completed early this year, included beautifying the public areas outside three MTR exits. As well as shrubs and trees to provide shaded areas, seating has been added for public use. 'This is an area where people can meet and relax in a busy community,' said Ms Chan.
In addition to care for the elderly, HKHS volunteers worked with the mentally disabled and assisted with improving the educational and village amenities in a remote area in Guangdong province. Three doctors also joined the programme to carry out health checks on children in the village.
'We encourage our staff to join volunteer programmes but we also try to contribute to their own well being through organising different social and sports activities that involve staff and their families,' Ms Chan said. The HKHS also aims to uphold environmentally friendly practices in its offices and operations and encourages staff to contribute to a greener and cleaner environment.
The HKHS Building Management and Maintenance Scheme (BMMS), launched in 2005, has provided financial and technical assistance to about 83,000 units/flats in more than 1,700 buildings. In many cases assistance is provided to elderly property owners who lack the finances and information to seek technical assistance. The HKHS has also established nine Property Management Advisory Centres where members of the public are provided with free advice on building management, maintenance and community welfare issues.
Yeung Ka-sing, HKHS chairman, said in addition to providing well-tailored housing schemes to cope with the changing needs of society, the HKHS's range of services is underpinned by a tradition of service to the community.
Mr Yeung said the BMMS had won support and recognition from various government departments and its numerous beneficiaries. He said the scheme was also credited by professional institutions with helping to raise awareness of the need and advantages of maintaining buildings and flats in a good state of repair.

From the Press Release:
For many riders the sound and feel of a sport V-twin motorcycle is the only way to go. A throaty exhaust note coupled with exceptional torque and agile handling are the primary reasons so many riders choose two cylinders instead of four. The award winning SV650 and SV650S provide a great starting point for new riders, but with enough performance to keep even experienced riders smiling. The larger SV1000S provides even greater performance, but with all the high-tech features and performance that Suzuki is known for.
The Suzuki SV650 and SV650S are widely known as being the best bang for the motorcyclist buck.
Their throaty exhaust note coupled with exceptional engine torque, agile handling, and stylish good looks are the key reasons so many riders choose to ride the Suzuki SV650 and SV650S.
New for 07 the SV650 series will now be available with ABS and additionally all SV650 models come equipped with new dual spark plug heads for improved combustion and reduced emissions.
Powering the SV650 and SV650S is a reliable 90-degree 645cc V-twin engine tuned for crisp throttle response and class-leading horsepower and torque. The 645cc motor utilizes four valves per cylinder, with a 11.5:1 compression ratio and an over-square bore and stroke of 81.0mm x 62.6mm. Cast aluminum pistons feature cut-away sides and short wrist pins for minimal reciprocating mass and a slick shifting six-speed transmission gets power to the rear wheel.
An aluminum-alloy truss-style frame designed for minimal weight and maximum strength provides a home for the sporty V-twin powerplant, and in conjunction with preload adjustable forks and an aluminum-alloy swingarm offer exceptional handling and stability. The SV frame sections are constructed as a single precision die-casting using a pressurized vacuum molding process that eliminates air bubbles and porosity for improved consistency and more accurately controlled rigidity.
Front suspension duties are handled by a preload adjustable 41mm fork combined with a preload adjustable single rear shock bolted to an aluminum alloy swingarm at the rear. Rolling stock consists of radial tires mounted on 17 inch aluminum wheels front and rear with dual disc brakes up front and a single disc rear brake.
The SV650S still wears a slick half fairing housing dual multi-reflector
headlights while the SV650 utilizes a classic round headlight with a sport
styled cowl for a refined and modern look. A high visibility instrument cluster
features an easy-to-read analog tachometer, digital LCD speedometer, odometer,
tripmeter, coolant temperature gauge and low fuel indicator. Completing both
machines are maintenance free LED taillights positioned beneath a sleekly
angled tail section.

Keystone Companions: The Complete 1973 Fantasy Recordings is a four-CD album by Merl Saunders and Jerry Garcia. It was recorded live at the Keystone in Berkeley, California on July 10 and 11, 1973, and released by Fantasy Records on September 25, 2012.[1]
From February 1971 to July 1975, Merl Saunders and Jerry Garcia played many live shows together when the Grateful Dead were not on tour. Their band's lineup for the July '73 shows at the Keystone was Saunders on keyboards, Garcia on guitar and vocals, John Kahn on bass, and Bill Vitt on drums.[2]
Some songs from the July 10 and 11, 1973 Keystone concerts were released as the 1973 album Live at Keystone, and others were released in 1988 as Keystone Encores. Keystone Companions includes all of the songs from the two earlier albums, along with seven previously unreleased tracks. All the songs were remastered for the new album, and are presented in the order that they were played in concert.[3]
Keystone Companions is packaged as a box set, and includes a booklet with photos and liner notes, a poster, and a button, among other extras.[4]

|Rolling Stone
In Rolling Stone, Patrick Doyle wrote, "What's most remarkable about this four-disc set, which compiles two 1973 dates, is the range: They jam on Rodgers and Hart as well as Jimmy Cliff, and turn out the Funkadelic-like instrumental 'Keepers'; Garcia also croons an unexpectedly sweet version of 'Positively 4th Street' amid soaring, melodic guitar solos. There are no rules — just four luminaries testing their own boundaries."[6]
On Allmusic, Thom Jurek said, "Taking it all in, it's fascinating to hear how complementary Garcia and Saunders were, and the degree to which they trusted one another in moving a set arrangement in another direction on the spot. Contrast the two versions of 'My Funny Valentine'. On the latter one, Saunders shifts tonalities from a straight, subdued reading toward a more modal and exploratory one. Garcia responds by extending the tune's entire harmonic reach. The rhythm section, too, is unshakable — check their astonishing interplay and shifting time signatures on the first version of 'Merl's Tune'.... The music, by any standard, is simply excellent."[1]
In Blues Review, Bob Putignano wrote, "I've always felt the Saunders brought out and extracted a different side of Garcia, a side that was more jazz-oriented. Blues and rhythm and blues surfaced readily, and the deep grooves (especially from Saunders' B3) allowed Garcia alternate landscapes to explore. Additionally, within the Dead's universe there was far more pressure and egos to deal with. With Merl it seemed obvious that the musical state-of-affairs were more casual, yet no intensity is lost."[5]
On Voice of America, Katherine Cole said, "The music on Keystone Companions' four discs is exactly what you'd expect from a Jerry Garcia side project: a mix of rock, blues and jazz with some bluegrass and soul mixed in. And, as with any jam session, the songs sometimes wander and might even include all those styles of music within the same tune.... Keystone Companions is a fan's dream come true — it contains two complete sets equaling almost four hours of live music. The tracks were remastered to crystal clarity..."[7]
In Relix, Tony Sclafani wrote, "This new release configures the original recordings in the order in which the songs were performed and also offers vintage photos and liner notes by David Gans. The results are compelling. The spacious, remastered sound brings out the chemistry of the two main players as well as the interplay of the rhythm section, made up of bassist John Kahn and drummer Bill Vitt."[8]

5 More Beaches in RI Closed to Swimming
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) _ State health officials have closed several more beaches in Rhode Island to swimming because of bacteria in the water.
The Department of Health said Wednesday that Narragansett Town Beach, North Kingstown Town Beach, Barrington Town Beach, and City Park Beach and Oakland Beach in Warwick are not suitable for swimming because of high bacteria counts.
Two other beaches in Warwick, Conimicut Point Beach and Goddard Memorial State Park Beach, remain closed.
The beaches will be reopened to swimming after water quality tests find a safe level of bacteria.
The health department routinely monitors water quality at the state's public beaches throughout the summer months.
