Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Hi! I will be the professional that will be helping you today. I look forward to providing you with information to help solve your problem.
Good morning. I certainly understand your situation and concern. Yes, it is certainly illegal what he did. The landlord can not use self help to evict you or to demand rent be paid. Any relief or remedy sought, would have had to be obtain through the court. You should certainly keep the letters, evidencing his action and to support your testimony, about what he did. The court could take action and fine him, if you file suit. Your security deposit should have been returned within 30 days after you moved out or the landlord should have provided you with an itemized list of any deductions and returned the balance, if any. If he failed to do this, he may have waived his right to do so and would need to return the full amount. If he fails to do so, you would have to sue him to recover, in addition to any other damages which you suffered, as a result of his actions. If he turned off the power and water and you were forced to move, you could try and recover the cost in doing so.
Please let me know if you have any follow up questions or need any clarification on something which I stated above, prior to rating me. Also, please remember to rate my service with 3, 4, or 5 faces/stars, before exiting the site, so I can receive credit for my help. I hope you found it to be Excellent! Only rate my answer when you are 100% satisfied. If you feel the need to click either of the two faces/stars on the left, please STOP and reply to me via the "REPLY TO EXPERT or CONTINUE CONVERSATION "button. I want to make sure your experience with the site was as pleasurable as possible and that you are satisfied with the help I provided.
is there a time limit I have to pursue this
4 or 6 years, depending on the cause of action.
Injury to Personal Property: 4 years
Contracts: Written, 6 years
legal aide in new Mexico told me that he could have to pay a certain amount for each month I can prove he disconnected my water. but my vehicle burned down and I lost the letter from them..could you explain what they were telling me by chance
Based upon what you stated above, it does sound like you have a good case and chance of recovery. You want to be able to obtain all the money you can from the landlord. As such, if you are not very familiar with the court system, it is in your best interest to retain an attorney and have them represent you. They can try and get the Judge to award attorney fees and based upon the actions of the landlord, there is a chance for this as well. The attorney will know what causes of action to raise and how to proceed on the case, acting on your behalf. On Monday, you can likely set up a consultation with a few attorneys, to talk about the facts of the case and see what they will charge for representation in the matter. The last thing which you want to do, is handle this yourself and run into problems and/or not recover what you are entitled to.
is there a certain type of lawyer?I live n a very small town
It is a civil litigation case, so any attorney would likely be able to handle it. In an ideal situation, you can find an attorney that handles landlord/tenant disputes in real estate but if not, then general litigation. Please let me know if there is anything else and I would be happy to answer it. If not, please remember to rate my help with 3, ,4 or 5 faces, so I can get credit. Thank you!

Graphics3D default lighting?
I'm trying to determine the specification for the default lighting scheme
used by Graphics3D objects.
AbsoluteOptions[Graphics3D[], Lighting]
{ Lighting -> Automatic }
Not particularly helpful.
Anyone know how to get the actual settings for this option? Or barring
that, anyone happen to just know what the default lighting specification is?

Excellent value for money, The staff were really friendly and helpful and let me keep my room longer than the scheduled check out time at no extra cost. Will stay there again.
welcome good,staff friendly. no
friendly bar
very friendly and helpful staff. Clean well appointed en suite rooms with tea/coffee facilities. Sea front location. nothing
not a lot meal was awful, breakfast was awful, shower was awfull,
very nice
Our room said "ensuite" but the sink was in the bedroom! Not keen on that as ensuite should include basin along with toilet and shower- so it was a little disappointing.
room was clean,cosy and comfortable. friendly staff. had a nice experience on my one night stay. good hotel.
Bar man exceptionally attentive and very chatty. Yes the first floor fire door kept banging shut. I timed it once to approx every 5 minutes as people went in and out. Very noisy and very irritating.
Clean comfortable place to stay with an excellent breakfast. Particularly liked the fresh fruit and the fresh fruit in the room on arrival.
A wonderful place to stay Elsa and Keith were very friendly and helpful, the best B+B we have ever stayed at, and we have a been to quite a few.We will definately be back The rain, but who's fault was that!
My friend and I had a very relaxing 2 night stay nothing was too much trouble for the owners every small detail was thought ofBreakfast was better than many 5* hotels we have stayed in all over the world Jean & Barabara Lift !!!!! but this is only because we live in bungalows
The room was very comfortable. the food excellent and the staff very good but in high season it might be a bit noisy as walls were a bit thin. The barman kept disappearing.I did not check reviews on internet (for answer below)
we were made to feel welcome as soon as we walked through the door. The room was very comfy and we will use the hotel again. Thank you
Friendly staff, Relaxed atmosphere and good food. Excellent quiet location.
Friendliness of staff. Location. Ease of parking. Lovely sea view. Cleanliness. Rather small en suite shower room with no shelf on which to put wasking kit items. The breakfast choices were not fully explained - instead assumptions were made about what we'd want - e.g. I would have preferred brown bread toast and a choice of jams but instead was simply given white bread toast and a rather poor quality marmalade. When I did ask for brown bread toast on the second day, I was told they'd cancelled the order for brown bread as nobody wanted it!
We arrived on a cold November day,having been told by phone that they did not have the twin room we had booked, we had agreed to have 2 single rooms at the same price. To our delight we were shown to a triple room on the 1st floor. Our bags were taken up to the room, which was clean and cosy. The people were lovely, very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was excellent. We enjoyed our stay, for the price it was excellent value.
Pleasant staff, newly renovated rooms, great food, nice bar area with reasonable prices, nice location opn front, a short distance from city centre. Nothing, a good value for money hotel, with a nice personal touch.
Clean room, comfy bed, great breakfast.Made to feel welcome. None
very peaceful stay
jason the bar manager was excellent in his work. he was there to greet us, show us to our room and even carried our bag up. he served us with drinks in the bar later and nothing was too much trouble.
Small, but comfortable room. Good breakfast. Evening entertainment. No functioning wi-fi Internet access, as advertised on Booking.com website. Attitude of manageress to this was poor.
not enough staff on duty
The hotel is in a very good position.the rooms are very clean.the staff are very good.overall a good hotel to stay.
Excellent stay.very good location.very good clean room.staff very friendly.very good breakfast.defenitely recommended.
Sea Front Small Room, no view
Very good hotel.friendly,efficient staff and very attentive.room was very clean .breakfast was great.the location of the hotel is very good.
the location was close to the beach Many things. The rooms were falling apart. An uneven carpet covered wobbly floorboards. The bathroom was poorly assembled. The breakfast was mediocre and limited. The linens were rough. The bed were very worn out - you could easily see the spring coils through the bottom sheet.
Very good sea side hotel.the rooms are of very good quality and nicely furnished.the staff are very nice and polite.the management make you feel very welcome.
Helpfullness of staff
not alot, ok place wanting cheap but beds tiny rooms tiny we had idoits shouting down in the rooms near us at 5am no staff on site other than 1 little man a dive is what i would call the hotel never again!!!!!!!!!!! no info wen checking in regarding breakfast any problems etc just very basic at that price we were not expecting the hilton but it was poor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how good the staff were they could not do enough to help the room was very small and it had a smell in it not nice we had to leave all the windows open
freindly staff
Friendly staff, reasonably priced rooms available on special promotion, good breakfast, nice seafront location
the hotel bar was very poor
The food at the restaurant was terrific. The staff created a good atmosphere although the decor was tired. Good location for the business trip I was on. The bar lacked charm. Functional is the best way to describe this area.
hotel was very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay Did not like dogs staying, thought it was very un hygienic, and did,nt like the thought that a dog had been in the room before us, as I suffer from asthma and it could have made me very poorly, and it let the hotel down .
overlooking the sea. good breakfast & service. good restaurant.
good restuarant andnice bedroom maybe the lift
The room was comfortable and with a sea view Steps to get to the reception area, very small lift to upper floors
Good size room and Bed. Breakfast good too.
Very pleasant and efficient welcome. Room excellent and very clean. Breakfast very good.
excellent food - comfort plus friendliness
I enjoyed my stay at Knights Court although only one night on a business trip. Reception was excellent bedroom clean and comfortable and food good. The hotel had a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff group . I would return to this hotel and use it during a family holiday if needed.
Location on Sea Front excellent
Nice Rooms, Staff pleasant Poor quality food, very poor service at breakfast
We enjoyed the warm welcome , the pleasant surroundings and decor.The rooms were very well decorated with great facilities.The breakfast was supet too. We also liked the close proximity to the beach.
The hotel was beautiful and the facilities were excellent. We have stayed at this hotel before and will be booking again The only bad point was the breakfast wasn't too good
the hotel was perfectly situated for the local beach. the hotel was booked weeks befor our trip but on arrival we found we didnt have a room we were later allocated with a spare room but not one of our choice
The location was excellent and the breakfast was lovely The room, although comfortable and clean, was somewhat tatty and past its best. we suggest a refurb
A relaxing, hassle free relaxing break. Lovely room, garden and sea view. The hotel is well managed, with attentive, motivated staff. The food was excellent. Lovely gardens to relax in. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will go again for sure. Could not fault anything.
Staff were friendly, knowledgable and curteous, facilities in general very good and the stay was enjoyable overall. We were shown two rooms which were unaccepable, but were happy with the third. Hotel needs investment in its repair and redecoration of rooms (eg peeling wallpaper, water stains on ceiling, mold in showers).
excellent food, staff very helpful, stairs
Convenience for place of work. Looks a little shabby, could do with a lick of paint.
very comfortable and good value no
All points of the hotel were excellent food very good and company very good as well. rooms were clean towels changed every day and room cleaned and beds made None
a very warm welcome on arival with a cup of tea,,the breckfast were great,the room was great with a nice view over a park
It was quiet,clean and private.Parking was ok either outside on the forecourt or free nearby. I had a ground floor room which was very convenient.The breakfasts were very good- with lots of options and a soldier with my boiled eggs. The staff very friendly and helpful. I really hated Great Yarmouth itself and would never stay in the town again.However the nearby scenery and Norfolk coast was great.The hotel was selected because I was working in Norwich and did not want to stay in the city itself. It was an easy drive to the Cathedral.
Excellent breakfast. Friendly chatty owners. Bed comfortable and nice big bathroom! Very cold in room. Radiator didnt give off much heat. Very noisy from street. Could benefit from double glazing as every car and person that went by woke us up.
Staff very helful and friendly. Great breakfasts. Small bathroom
Excellent touches in all rooms, very clean and tidy and the owners were a wonderfully helpful couple
We arrived just before midnight after a long journey....we had a warm welcome with a cup of tea! The breakfasts were very good and nothing was too much trouble. A very comfortable stay!
Well situated for amenities.Owners very friendly. No real bad points,everything acceptable.Bedroom space a little constricted.
Fantastic location, cleanliness and hospitality, will stop there again.
Very friendly staff. Room was comfortable with nice touches such as mini bar, good selection of tea's coffees, flat screen TV. Nice decor and veery comfy bed. Breakfast was smashing. Would certainly stay here again. No complaints
Over the moon, we are disabled and they were very kind indeed.
Very friendly, welcoming people. Really nice breakfast options. I would stay here again on future visits
Cleanliness and facilities. Attitude of the owners/staff
The owners were very accomodating and inviting. Their service was excellent. They cooked me the finest tasting breakfast I'd ever had, and I've had a few!!
Warm friendly welcome.Good food,All the luxury room trimmings ie:coffe/tea biscuits, mini bar,toiletries,hair dryer, TV etc.
Welcoming & friendly, very modern, A grade cleanliness, great breakfast.
i was recomended the beaumont and will stay again it is welcoming clean ,comfortable,excellant facilities, fantastic breakfast, the best hotel i have stayed in for a long time.
the room n/a
Lovely clean and modern hotel, very friendly and excellent food. No
Homely hotel, cheap. Everything worked. More character than Travelodges, Premier Inns, etc None worth mentioning
Clean, cheap Undrinkable coffee in the bedroom, not much better at breakfast
all was excellent and all staff friendly,breakfast excellent
The staff were friendly during the evening nap and very efficient in the morning during breakfast NO
Landlady very welcoming and accommodating. Breakfast staff very friendly. Nice sized family room for our family of 5. Only minus point were the sausages used for breakfast (very low quality) and my children love their sausages for breakfast and this didn't go down too well, all other ingredients very nice. Apart from that a nice pleasant stay.
Breakfasts were good, and we could have an evening meal there too, if desired. Location near seafront good. They asked when we arrived if we'd like to pay the full balance. There was no shower gel or shampoo provided in the room.
Excellent Location, clean room with regular bed making and daily room cleaning / towel / refreshments replacement
Very friendly staff who were ready to go the extra mile.
Friendly staff made us feel very comfortable and at ease! N/A
Lovely stay, friendly hosts and great location.
Was down to see a few people, staff are nice, easy to get friends in and out i like to go tothe bar and had taken 15mins to get served at the bar.
N/A Initially we were unable to get into our room - receptionist took ten minutes to get the room open - a handyman came up to apparently change a battery. When we went out and came back we had the same problem, and again in the morning when we went to breakfast and came back. Cleaner advised that it worries her as if there was a fire nobody would be able to enter the room to get us out. Poor H & S regs. Breakfast - this was uncooked and mainly consisted of runny tinned mushrooms - INEDIBLE. Crockery was dirty - coffee perculator which came out was filthy as was tea pot and plates. Milk for cereals was left out in open jug - not chilled etc. Awful breakfast. Room was so so but not clean - sheets were stained. All in all a very poor hotel!!!!
Very clean staff very polite rooms very clean None
The location was fantastic, the staff were very friendly and helpful, didn't bother us that it wasn't the most modern place to stay it didn't stop us having a enjoyable time.
Very helpful staff. Special mention to breakfast staff and chef who were just starting to clear up at 9.26 (9.30 finish) when I belatedly got down for breakfast and couldn't have been more accommodating. Broken hairdryer and shower head problems. Lounge bar area very dated and worn
One of the nicest places I've stayed in a long while. On the seafront, excellent views, good breakfast, lovely staff.
Staff couldn't do enough for my Mother and myself. The price was very good. Its location is ideal and I didn't use my car once while staying there. Even moving my Mothers things to another room as they were unable to fix the shower quickly for her. :-P In the process of changing hands, which we could have been forwarned about. The skip outside our windows came about 7.30.a.m. most mornings and the seagulls woke us at 5.00a.m. !!
It was a great room, overlooking the front. Although the hotel doesnt have its own parking, it was easy to park in front of it (free). The breakfast was huge!
Lovely hotel, great position. 3Pm earliest check-in.
The good points would be the size of the room very good the sea view was excellent. To start with there was no parking facility the room was spacious but needed updating all basic items were old or didn't work such as the tv.we were kept awake due to a continuous noise which could have been the air con.
The staff were very welcoming, excellent service, would definately stay again and recommend to families
Good location friendly helpful hosts. Would go back.
polite and helpfull staff.only short walk to beech .and good food.
Lived up to expectations. Very friendly owners
Friendly helpful owners a very pleasant stay.
Extremely clean, friendly service. Room was fantastic for a 'guest house'. Breakfast was excellent. None!
Location was good and within easy reach of parking facilities. Parking is free at this time of year but imagine it would be a nightmare during peak/holiday period. Breakfast menu extremely limited if required before the standard time, i.e reqd breakfast at 0730 and only offered scrambled egg on toast. If I wanted a 'full english' then I would have to wait until 0830. Cleanliness of room very suspect particularly the bathroom. 4 star rating doubtful.
i like the fact that u are o just get on with it and when u come back you are greeted with a friendly smile and a hallo how was ur day I fell that the front of the holel and the bar/lounge was a bit dated and could do with a bit of a face lift how ever the service was excalent
polite friendly spotlessley clean
The owners made me feel most welcome. They provided me with gluten free food for breakfast which was much appreciated. They listened to me ...offering suggestions when asked e.g....their recommendation for a good evening meal was just right. They organized a taxi for me to take me to the train. My room was a good size and I had a great view especially of the fireworks.
all areas were clean and tidy and the owners were very welcoming and hospitable
Owner made us very welcome hot drink after a long drive. Hospitable throughout our stay. Tasty breakfast. Lovely, clean and comfortable room. Tony and Sandie are really good hosts. Private parking area could have been cleaner. Had been fouled by dogs so my husband had to drive forward so I could get in the car without stepping in the mess.
good breakfast and and made to feel very welcome. excelent drop of and pick up from races. found twin room bit small and no bath just shower
What can I say?? The owners went out of there way to take us to places and pick us up again. They picked us up from the coach station and dropped us off there again. They were exceptional owners! I have never met such friendly people and what a service!! Definatley be staying at this hotel again!
Friendly, unobstrusive owners! Excellent breakfasts! Close to town and to beach. No parking at guest house, although parking permits were given free, actual spaces were limited (and this was winter)
the room was first class, we were able to relax and unwind, breakfast was delicious. will stay again soon
Looking at the sites and walking around
very friendly and lovely people working there
the warm welcome and staff All fine
We stayed in the king size room with attached bedroom that had twin bunk beds for out two children. Room was large space for our family of 4, breakfast was good (made to order), and owners friendly.
Very friendly owners after a long journey we received a lovely welcome with reviving tea and coffee offered a nice gesture indeed. Adults only and only 5 rooms so quiet just what we wanted and in a convienient location for all attractions,and only a few mins walk through the park to the market and town centre. The breakfast was very good.Enjoyed it so much we decded to stay an extra night. The room was a little dismal but well furnished and the en suite on the small side but the price was reasonable.
I was upgraded as someone had extended their stay and the room was lovely, especially for the small price.
Pleasent, cheap and easy to park.
Relaxed but attentive, friendly owners. In a good location between the town centre and the beach but quiet. Rooms are comfortable and not too expensive. We would recommend this guest house to anyone.
Cooked breakfast every morning.
food was delicious & host very welcoming nothing
Good valur for money seaside bed and breakfast providing excellent breakfast
Everything thing about the place was absolutely fantastic!. It was always very clean, room facilities were very good. Comfort and privacy is ensured for each and every guest. Big plus for the hospitality of the owners, they are always there to assist you, and at arrival you are greeted with hot drinks and cookies:)
The hotel is ideally situated for the beach and shops and if you want a hearty breakfast this is the place to get it.We found the staff very helpful and the room clean and bright. There was a downside to this hotel, It was having to leave
THey made us feel very welcome. the service was excellent and the breakfast special was very nice
Owners were very friendly and happy to help with anything you needed. Breakfast was very good, locally sourced food and decent tea and coffee. Everything was great. No problems here.
Our hosts were incredibly friendly, warm and welcoming. They gave us many tips on what to do and what to see in Great Yarmouth and around. The house is very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was freshly prepared and very good. Parking was easy. Kilbrannan Guest House is very close to the sea (3 min walk).
We were made very welcome and standard of food and accommodation excellent. Can highly recommend.
Every thing was very good. The rooms were very clean, the food was very enjoyable and had any thing you would want for breakfast. If it wasn't on the menu they said we only had to ask. We got a very friendly welcome on arrival and they were there to answer all the questions we were enquired about. I would go again if we go to Great Yarmouth again. Thanks No bad points.
Spotlessly clean,excellent breakfast and really warm and friendly owners. Could not do enough for us during our stay. None
We had a great stay Gary & Julie were fantastic hosts. The stairs to room 5 are very steep but the room and the Guesthouse were spotless .

By Jack R. Nerad, Executive Editorial Director, KBB.com - Updated Date: 8/24/2012
For the 2013 model year Volvo has endowed its S60 luxury
sedan with even more features in the quest to compete in one of the best – if not the best – segments in all of autodom. Facing off against the
BMW 3 Series,
Audi A4 and other terrific sedans is no easy task, but the
Volvo S60 brings eye-catching exterior styling, a well-tailored interior and a wealth of innovative safety equipment into the fray. Volvo engineers have also outfitted the car with a bevy of performance-enhancing features like the 3.0-liter 325-horsepower engine offered in the R-Design variant accompanied by significant tuning of its standard Sport Chassis. The less-aggressive S60 versions also offer a higher degree of sportiness than you might expect from a Volvo.
If you want an attractive European sports sedan, but you don't want to be a slave to the status quo, you'll find the 2013 Volvo S60 offers both driving excitement and unmatched safety features.
If the leading-edge of performance is in your blood and you want the world to know it, others cars in the category might make a clearer statement of your lifestyle choice.
The big news for 2013 is the fact that Volvo All-Wheel Drive with Instant Traction is available for the first time on the value-priced S60 T5. The 2.5-liter T5 5-cylinder engine also receives internal tweaks that allow it to pull stronger, though peak horsepower and torque remain the same.
Although our one and – up-to-now – only driving experience in the 2013 S60 T5 with all-wheel drive (AWD) was a lengthy one, it did not include rain, snow, hail or sleet. Despite this bad (good?) luck, we can report that the S60 with all-wheel drive offers road poise and confidence that surpass the already high levels of the front-wheel-drive (FWD) version. Volvo offers drivers a variety of choices to match their styles. The base T5 offers a Touring Chassis that is slanted toward comfort, but still feels sporty compared to many offerings. Next up the scale is the more performance-tuned Dynamic Chassis on the T6 AWD, which also benefits from the higher-horsepower 6-cylinder engine and the available FOUR-C active chassis that offers three driving modes. And finally there is the tuner-style R-Design with its Sports chassis. We feel most Volvo buyers will be pleased with the Touring Chassis.
Saying the name takes longer than the feature takes to save a life. The technology alerts the driver to a potential collision with a pedestrian and stops the car as quickly as possible if the driver doesn't immediately react.
Operating on the front wheels of the T5 and the front and rear wheels of all S60 variants equipped with all-wheel drive, torque vectoring channels power to the outer wheel(s) in a corner to help push the car around the corner quicker and more effectively.
Volvos have always won praise for their comfortably supportive seats, and the 2013 S60 continues in that tradition. Sports-inspired seats are standard on the T5 and T6 models, while the R-Design is equipped with even more elaborate off-black leather seats emblazoned with the R-Design logo. Heated rear seats are available across the board, warming the hearts (and buns) of Volvo passengers. The S60's instruments are properly straightforward, and Volvo has made its information/entertainment systems easier to operate while at the same time sounding better. The use of Audyssey Laboratories' MultEQ technology, rare in the automotive world, aids the premium audio in achieving clear, crisp sound.
Gone are the days when Volvos looked like the crates other cars were shipped in. In a segment populated with great-looking models the S60 is one of the best. Designed in the current idiom of the "4-door coupe," the S60 manages to retain longtime Volvo styling themes like the signature Volvo grille and "double wave" shoulders, while looking not just contemporary but, dare we say it, leading edge. The exterior is dotted quite literally with LEDs, including the front positioning lights, side markers, turn signal indicators and taillights. Trunk space is in keeping with the luxury compacts as a whole – on the small side.
Standard equipment on the base S60 T5 has been upgraded for 2013 to include rain-sensing windshield wipers, headlight washers and dual polished exhaust pipes. For those spelunking enthusiasts in the audience, Volvo has added Tunnel Detection to the headlight system. The Geartronic automatic transmission shift knob is new this year (yes, really) but more to the point the gear selection is illuminated. Heading the list of standard safety equipment is Volvo's Dynamic Stability and Traction Control, which uses electronic means to sense and respond to oversteer (plowing) and understeer (fishtailing).
Each S60 trim level is broken down by equipment levels to which you can add option packages. In ascending order, the trim levels are S60 T5, T6 AWD and R-Design. T5 buyers who choose the Premier level get a power glass moonroof, leather seating and keyless drive. The Premier Plus level brings active dual xenon headlights, front and rear parking assist, and a Homelink remote garage door opener. The Platinum level offers a premium 12-speaker, 650-watt sound system plus navigation with real-time traffic. Key features of the Technology package are Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake, and Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake. The list of standalone options includes heated rear seats.
The Volvo S60 offers its buyers the choice of a 2.5-liter inline-5-cylinder engine or a 3.0-liter inline-6. Both engines are turbocharged, and the 3.0-liter is offered in a higher state of tune in the performance-oriented R-Design version of the car. While the 300- and 325-horsepower 3.0-liter engines offer substantially more power than the 250-horsepower 5-cylinder, we never felt the S60 was underpowered with the smaller engine, and those who opt for the 5-cylinder will be rewarded with somewhat better fuel economy. Both engines are backed by the 6-speed Geartronic automatic transmission that includes a manual shift mode.
2.5-liter turbocharged inline-5

With a base price of about $32,500, the 2013 Volvo S60 is significantly less expensive than its European competitors from BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz. The gap narrows somewhat as one climbs to more well-equipped versions of the S60 versus its competitors with pricing for all in the mid-$40K range, but we expect that incentives and discounting will keep the S60 at a very affordable price level in comparison to the German luxury cars. On a 5-Year Cost-to-Own basis, the Volvo S60 is a stellar buy. Low initial purchase price plus low maintenance and repair costs make the Volvo S60 a good choice, and its safety story is, of course, unsurpassed.

A toxic menuApril 18, 2012
In a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen and Greifswald University, together with colleagues from Freiburg, Italy and the USA, have revealed that a small marine worm, faced with a scarce food supply in the sandy sediments it lives in off the coast of Elba, must deal with a highly poisionous menu: this worm lives on carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulphide.
The worm, Olavius algarvensis, can thrive on these poisons thanks to millions of symbiotic bacteria that live under its skin. They use the energy from carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulphide to produce food for the worm. The symbionts do this just like plants by fixing carbon dioxide into carbohydrates but instead of using light energy from the sun, the symbionts use the energy from chemical compounds like carbon monoxide. "They do this so effectively, that the worm has lost its entire digestive system, including its mouth and gut, during the course of evolution, and feeds only through its symbionts", explains Nicole Dubilier, Head of the Symbiosis Group at the Bremen-based Max Planck Institute.
Carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulphide, however, are by no means the only energy sources this worm can live on. Some of the symbiotic bacteria in the worm can take up hydrogen and organic nutrients from the environment, even if these are present in only tiny amounts. Olavius algarvensis also has other tricks up its sleeve that allow it to survive in its nutrient-poor environment: in contrast to most animals, which are not capable of recycling their waste products and must excrete them, the worm can make further use of these, again thanks to its symbiotic microbes. The symbionts are true recycling masters when it comes to use products that still contain a lot of energy for their own purposes, but are no longer any use to the worm. "This is the reason why the worm has been able to not only reduce its digestive system, but also its kidney-like excretory organs", stresses Dubilier, "something that has not been discovered in any other marine animal."
For their investigations, the researchers used a combination of cutting-edge techniques, such as metaproteomics and metabolomics, which make it possible to analyse a large proportion of the proteins and metabolic products in an organism. Metaproteomic analysis presented a particular challenge, as it required the researchers to separate the cells of the symbionts and the host. Thomas Schweder from the Institute of Pharmacy at Greifswald University explains: "Using metaproteomics, we were able to identify thousands of proteins and assign them to the individual partners in the symbiosis. This gave us direct insights into the metabolism of the bacterial symbionts and their interactions with the host."
The researchers were very surprised when their analyses revealed that the worm has large amounts of proteins that allow it to use carbon monoxide as an energy source, because this gas is so poisonous. "Also, we couldn't imagine that carbon monoxide is present in the worm's environments", says Manuel Kleiner, a doctoral student in Nicole Dubilier's research group, "so we were amazed to find such unusually high concentrations of carbon monoxide in the Elba sandy sediments."
Nicole Dubilier has been working with the worm for more than 15 years: "We have known for quite some time that the symbiotic bacteria in Olavius algarvensis can interact with one another to use the energy-rich sulphur compounds to gain energy." But it is only now that the researchers have been able to work out other metabolic pathways - and to discover new energy sources. The study highlights the importance of complementing metagenomic analyses with metaproteomics and metabolomics. "The worm provides us with an example of the power of evolution. Over the course of millions of years, adaptation and selection have led to the development of an optimally adapted host-symbiont system. And these seemingly modest worms are an excellent model for a better understanding of other complex symbioses, such as those of the human gut", says Dubilier.

Why register?
70% of English schools have taken the plunge - why not join them? Eco-Schools provides a simple framework to help make sustainability an integral part of school life. It enhances the curriculum and gets the whole school united behind something important.
What's more, joining the Eco-Schools programme is completely free and makes tackling sustainable issues manageable and easy for any school, whether you're a LA nursery, primary school, secondary school or a school with special status.
Registered schools receive our monthly e-newsletter with details of Eco-Schools training courses and conferences, Green Flag Application tips, information about upcoming National Awareness Days, events and campaigns, as well as links to other helpful organisations and teaching resources.
Schools can work towards our three awards; Bronze, Silver and Green Flag. The Eco-Schools team will be on hand via phone and email to support you on your Eco-Schools journey.
All you need to do is spend a few minutes giving some details about your school. We won't share your contact details with anyone else.
If you currently have a Display Energy Certificate (DEC) we will need your 'Certificate Number' and 'Issue Date' so it is a good idea to have this to hand. Most schools display theirs in the foyer or office.
We now use the Department for Education's live database in our registration process to determine whether a school is eligible for the Eco-Schools programme. Find out here if your school is eligible before you register.
If your establishment is not eligible you can still take part in an Eco-Communities programme, by registering with Eco-Centres. Eco-Centres has a very similar framework to Eco-Schools and has been developed for public buildings and non-school establishments.
This will be used as your login.
From time to time, we may wish to send you information about campaigns and partnerships we participate in. To ensure
this information reaches the right people, add more contacts below and their respective roles within your organisation. Where
the applicable contact type is not listed, we will send mail to the primary contact.
Since October 2008 occupiers of public buildings with floor areas of more than 1000m² (roughly 10 000ft²), have been required to have a Display Energy Certificate (DEC).
We are asking schools to submit data from their certificate to help us gain a better picture of energy usage in schools.
If you have a current Display Energy Certificate please fill in the following information from your DEC below.
Please note: If you are an independent school or have a floor area of under 1000m² you are not required by law to have a DEC, although you may choose to have one as good practice.

Alex Rodriguez, Gio Gonzalez, Wayne Odesnik, Anthony Bosch Deny Miami New Times Biogenesis Report UPDATED
Three of the nine athletes named in New Times investigation into Biogenesis, the Coral Gables anti-aging clinic run by Anthony Bosch, have responded to the story. Alex Rodriguez, Gio Gonzalez and Wayne Odesnik have all issued denials. Jimmy Goins, the University of Miami strength and conditioning coach, tells the Sun-Sentinel through his attorney that "he hasn't done anything wrong."
Here's what Gio Gonzalez had to say via Twitter:
Rodriguez, meanwhile, sent this statement via his publicist:
"The news report about a purported relationship between Alex Rodriguez and Anthony Bosch [is] not true. He was not Mr. Bosch's patient, he was never treated by him and he was never advised by him. The purported documents referenced in the story -- at least as they relate to Alex Rodriguez -- are not legitimate."
Odesnik emailed a response to New Times late on Tuesday. Here's what he had to say:
I have never previously, nor currently, been a client of Mr. Bosch. The copy of the records that were provided do not show any amount paid to Mr. Bosch or to his clinic. These accusations are completely untrue. I have never paid any money, or any monthly fees, to Mr. Bosch. I have never bought any drugs from Mr. Bosch. I have never purchased HGH, nor any other illegal/banned substances from any person, including Mr. Bosch.
An attorney for Goins, the UM coach, spoke to the Sun-Sentinel this morning. Here's what Gordon Fenderson had to say:
"He hasn't done anything wrong either personally or as a representative of the University of Miami ... And as far as being on a client list of a certain doctor, any connection of the University of Miami or their baseball program would be purely coincidental."
Through an attorney, Anthony Bosch also denied details of the story -- though he declined comment when we reached him before publication:
The Miami New Times Story dated January 29, 2013 is filled with inaccuracies, innuendo and misstatements of fact. Mr. Bosch vehemently denies the assertions that MLB players such as Alex Rodriguez and Gio Gonzalez were treated by or associated with him.

As we noted in the piece, we went to great lengths to verify the records from Biogenesis. We also sent detailed questions to Rodriguez, Gonzalez, Odesnik and all the other athletes named in the piece before publication; all failed to comment at that time.
Update 2: The University of Miami has suspended Goins pending an investigation into his ties to Biogenesis, the Miami Herald reports on Thursday. Sources tell the paper the investigation is likely to be internal and won't include the NCAA.
Reached by El Nuevo Herald, boxer Yuriorkis Gamboa's attorney declined to comment on New Times report. Another unnamed source did confirm to the paper that Gamboa had gone to Biogenesis, but said it was simply for weight loss purposes and denied that the boxer ever took any performance enhancing drugs. Gamboa's attorney says the boxer will release a statement this weekend.
Finally, the Washington Post posted a link to an Instagram photo of pitcher Gio Gonzalez with UM strength and conditioning coach Jimmy Goins, both of whom are named in New Times report. The photo reportedly shows Goins with his arm around Gonzalez and the caption: "My offseason training coach Jimmy Goins."
Update 3: Through the Pittsburgh-based firm Farrell & Reisinger, Nelson Cruz has also denied that he took performance enhancing drugs. "We are aware of certain allegations and inferences ..." the firm said, according to the Dallas Morning News. "To the extent these allegations and inferences refer to Nelson, they are denied."

"I don't think people realize how irreplaceable they are," one of the religious sisters I lived with told me one night.
Although she made that comment almost two years ago, I revisit the message daily: We truly are gifts. Perhaps this Lent, we can feast on our giftedness while fasting from comparing ourselves to others.
What does it mean to be a gift?
It means, first of all, going to that place of solitude, the place of transformation where we encounter our vulnerabilities and wounds. It means, then, that we go into the desert with Jesus, just as He did before he began his ministry.
It requires us to come to that place where we have nothing to prove and to simply allow ourselves to be loved. It means embracing our humanity just as Jesus did – weaknesses and all.
Thus, it can only be life-giving if we allow ourselves to reverence our uniqueness. One of the best ways to do this is not compare our state of life, happiness, weaknesses, or successes with those of others. There is absolutely no room for competition in the Kingdom of God.
This means not comparing the gift that I am to the gift that anyone else is – and finding joy in that truth. It means reminding ourselves that when our gift is not accepted the way we may want it to be, our worth is in no way decreased. It means seeing everyone I encounter as teachers – and intentionally thanking them for revealing to me the deep truths of myself.
So together, let us fast from the temptation to compare and instead feast on gratitude for the gifts that we are and that we are in the process of becoming.
Is this specific to a spiritual of singleness?
Not necessarily.
But it is unequivocally part of a spirituality of single-mindedness to the Spirit, which still persists long after we have found someone.
Reflection question: What comparison must I stop making?

Gordon finds a way using narration, brief fragments of Shakespeare's text and dance to create a powerful but subtle statement about war, heroism, and patriotism. The stage pictures are unusually beautiful and he creates battle scenes using only six or seven dancers. Tadjej Brdnik, who also dances with Graham, is a terrific Henry. He's both regal and wily.

This post is a hail Mary – a last resort, if you will. The Bean family has been scrambling to find a willing and generous soul ANYwhere in Southern California to look after our two sweet kitties for a few more months while we save our pennies out here in the Inland Empire for just a few more months. So! I'm here to ask for your help! So here's the deal!
Someone with no other pets (ideally but we can be flexible on that point) to take my dear kitties in their home love them and cuddle with them from August 15th until January 2013 at the absolute latest! We, of course, will pay for all their provisions, healthcare (they are insured, yay!), and toys. You will receive regular shipments of everything they need so you never have to lug a 20 lb bag of kitty litter from the store!
We can pay you $150/month, plus $50 for miscellaneous expenses.
We will photograph at NO CHARGE (except travel fees if occurring more than 80 miles outside of Los Angeles):
Up to 3 portrait sessions (1 hour each or one 3 hour session)
OR 1 wedding occurring on or before February 1st, 2013 (based on availability, 6-8 hours, DVD only)
OR 1 portrait session (1 hour) with $800 print credit.
If you find someone who can take in my sweet Jokes and my dear Neville for us, there is a Finder's fee: a 1 hour portrait session anywhere in Southern California.
That's right. I'LL SHOOT YOUR WEDDING FOR FREE IF YOU KEEP MY CATS FOR 6 MONTHS!! THAT is how grateful I would be!
So! You can email me at weddings at punambean dot com if you or anyone you know can help us and we can talk details. We'd be ever so ridiculously grateful!!!
A little about Jokes:
Here is a little vid of Jokes as a kitten. (He's a bit of a chubster these days :)) Yes, that's right. He's hairless. It's amazing. He feels like a hot shammy, and he's much cuter in person. He has a lively, stubborn, goofy personality. When we lived in Massachussetts he spend many evenings walking on my husband's shoulders while he did household chores. He can be a little devil at times but he is the most entertaining pet you will ever have the privilege to care for.
Here's a video of Neville with his brother Walter (walters the lighter colored one here), who passed away a few years back. Neville is just CHILL. He looooooves people, lounging around, hanging out by the window or the door. This kitty lives the LIFE. He can be very vocal at times, I've had many conversations with him and sometimes have to remind myself we speak different languages.

Factbox: Forget lemurs - Eight things you didn't know about Madagascar
By Katie Nguyen
ANTANANARIVO (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Madagascar is suffering a third consecutive year of drought and its poorest rainy season in 35 years. More than 1.1 million people are unable to feed themselves.
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), a major donor to the country, calls the crisis a "silent emergency" requiring more international attention.
"Madagascar is really seldom in the news," said Willem van Milink, head of the U.N. World Food Programme in the African island nation. "People know very little about Madagascar ... It is isolated."
Here are some facts about the country:
Lying in the Indian Ocean, 400 km (250 miles) off the coast of mainland Africa, Madagascar is the fourth-largest island in the world after Greenland, New Guinea and Borneo. Continued...

Now is the time of the Ultrabook. They're thin, they're sexy and they tend to cost a bomb - nothing like the 15.6in Acer Aspire TimelineX 5830T, then. This is the sort of laptop that the Ultrabook hareem would jeer at in the dressing room, but it could be argued this model gets you a lot more for your money - better battery life, better connectivity and solid build too, without entirely compromising on form.
We looked at the lower-end model in the new range, which has a Core i3 Sandy Bridge 2.1GHz processor, 6GB DDR3 RAM, 640GB HDD. There's no dedicated graphics chip, as seen in the more expensive i7 model. But then that tri-tone beauty will cost you a good £300 more.
Upon first opening up the TimelineX 5830T, we thought of one thing - neapolitan ice cream. It may have been partly down to hunger, but swap the blue of the keyboard rest for pink and you'd have a dead ringer for a giant tub of that 1970s favourite. Going "all out" with this tri-tone finish seems a bit odd when looking at the rest of the laptop, which is otherwise attractively simple. There's a long dotted speaker outlet, but no superfluous physical shortcut keys and a minimal spread of buttons.
Call us boring, but we wish the blue had been jettisoned in favour of more silver and black, because - like calling your kid Tarquin - it invites ridicule in a way that won't win the poor chap enough friends to make up for it. The lid of the laptop is blue too, but thankfully a darker, moodier shade than the keyboard rest.
Colour complaint aside, it's a decent-looking laptop in its own retro way. It's intensely angular, with corners more severe than the norm and sharp slopes bordering the keyboard that could have been inspired by an 80s power suit. This is not a self-consciously inoffensive laptop, and while that means it'll probably put many people off, it made us quickly warm to its looks.
The build quality helped too. The TimelineX 5830T is very solidly-built, with an aluminium lid and tough, virtually flex-free plastic used elsewhere - apart from one spot. The right edge bends fairly readily, because there's only room for a thin 2mm skin of plastic over the optical drive. Despite the sturdy feel and those sharp angles, it's actually quite a compact model, given that it's not technically an ultra-portable.
30mm thick at its chubbiest point, it's slightly thinner than the Dell 15R and Acer Aspire 5750 (which are 2-4mm thicker), and at 2.46kg it's slightly lighter than that pair too. These victories are narrow ones, though, and if you want a laptop to take around with you all day, you should perhaps consider something with a smaller display to bring the overall bulk down.
As usual with laptops, that extra bit of size and weight comes with connectivity bonuses. There are four USB slots, although only one of them is a super-fast 3.0 socket, a DVD writer (no Blu-ray here), VGA output, full-size HDMI output, mic input and 3.5mm headphone/SPDIF jack. There's also a card slot on the front edge, which supports high-capacity SDXC cards too, for up to 64GB of tiny affordable storage - larger cards still cost a packet. Connectivity you can't so easily see includes Wi-Fi N and Bluetooth 3.0, but there's no 3G slot here, although there's a filled-in slot on the hinge where one features in other iterations of this model.
One natty on-body extra is the battery indicator button. This lets you see roughly how much battery charge is left. It's completely useless while the 5830T is powered-up of course - Windows 7 could tell you much more accurately - but it works when the latop's off too.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Wednesday February 19th, 2014 4:59pm
College baseball and softball playoffs extend well into June these days, and Albany coach Scott Marr believes lacrosse should get with the program. Based on what the Great Danes endured prior to battling favored Syracuse to a 17-16 overtime loss Sunday in the Carrier Dome, who can blame him?
"It's too early," Marr said afterward. "There's no question we should not be playing lacrosse on February 16. There should not be a game (then). We should be playing in March. We should have a start date of February 1 (for preseason camp) and our first game should be in March. We should get away from Memorial Day weekend. We should push it back into June so the games can be played in warmer weather."
SU coach John Desko, who in Marr has an ally in his campaign to do away with the face-off — a topic for another day — agrees with the Danes' coach in principle on returning lacrosse to the spring sport it used to be.
"I certainly understand where he's coming from," Desko said. "It makes sense to me at first glance. I just haven't had a chance to think through all the ramifications of pushing the playoffs back into June."
It has only been within the last two decades that Syracuse, even with the advantage of having the Carrier Dome, opened its season in February. This season's Feb. 10 opener vs. Siena in the Dome was its earliest start ever. The logic behind the earlier start dates is simple. The more weeks you squeeze into a season, the fewer midweek games you are required to play. Desko believes that with parity now a fact of life in Division I it is risky business to fill out a schedule with midweek games against supposedly lesser foes.
"It allows you to play Saturday, Saturday, Saturday," said Dan Sheehan, who coaches Division II national champion Le Moyne.
Sheehan scheduled the Dolphins' opener Feb. 15 this season, its earliest ever. Needless to say, a significant snowstorm pushed the game, a 12-6 Northeast-10 victory over Assumption, back a day and into Dome, part of a quadruple-header that featured the SU women and men, Le Moyne and finally an Onondaga CC practice at 10 p.m.
Those teams were the lucky ones. Consider the days leading up to the game for Marr and Albany, which got hit even harder by the Nor'easter than Syracuse did.
"Our last practice was Tuesday, and it was 12 degrees," he said. "Wednesday we went indoors, which is not a great situation. Thursday we didn't practice, we ran on the track and lifted weights. Friday we went bowling. And then Saturday we had to shovel the field a little bit and go out and really did nothing. It's not easy. It's a challenge, and I really think it's an injustice to the game."
Marr believes it's an injustice to the fans, who have to bundle up in winter gear for a "spring" sport and travel to games in bad weather. And he thinks it's an injustice to the players, who are robbed of precious preparation time. He believes the answer is obvious — institute a mandatory start of the season in March and go back to midweek games or, if necessary, push back the playoffs to June.
"I guess I'll get in trouble this, but I can't say our coaches association is really thinking on this one," Marr said. "If we were really smart we would push the game back."
It would make sense, especially considering the disparity in weather at this time of the year in different regions of the country. Teams from the South usually have a big advantage coming out of the gate for that reason, although probably not so much this year with the cold and snow extending even there.
And then there is the Ivy League, which is a major player in DI lacrosse but by league rules has a Feb. 1 start time for preseason camp, nearly a month behind the rest of DI.
"I can't believe the coaches haven't received some kind of relief from that rule," Desko said.
Maybe it should work the other way and the rest of DI should follow the Ivy rule. All things considered, Marr's argument is valid. The trend, though, is going the other way. For teams in the Northeast, it is not a good one.
Sleight of hand It's one thing to fool an old sportswriter watching the game from the pressbox. It's quite another to fool practically everyone else, including the TV cameras and your own head coach. Yet, that's exactly what Syracuse close defender Brandon Mullins and goalie Bobby Wardwell did when they unveiled a new version of the hidden ball trick. The ensuing goal turned out to be critical, although it appeared to be relatively harmless at the time. Here is how it went down:
The Orange was up 15-11 and pulling away early in the fourth quarter with the ball on the ground in front of Wardwell. Mullins swooped in through a crowd and snatched it up, then presumably flipped it to his goalie in the safety of the crease. Mullins then headed to Wardwell's left to receive a possible outlet pass from the goalie, who came out of his crease and looked the other way toward defender Sean Young. As Wardwell cradled the ball in his stick supposedly preparing to pass to Young, Albany attackman Miles Thompson snuck up behind him and checked the goalie's stick to the turf. A referee sprinted in to watch Thompson pick up the ball and dump it into the empty net but instead witnessed the frantic Thompson searching for the ball while Wardwell stood watching.
Where was it? It was still in the stick of Mullins, who had never flipped the ball to his goalie. Mullins trotted nonchalantly toward the SU sideline and then streaked into the Albany offensive zone past defenders who were watching the action in front of the SU goal. When he reached the top of the crease he flipped a pass to attackman Randy Staats, who was standing all alone to the side of the open cage for an easy dunk.
"I missed it all until the very end," said Desko, who had plenty of company. "I've never seen anyone even try that play before. All I saw was Miles in a frenzy. He knew exactly what he was going to do with it when he picked it up, except it wasn't there. That was a two-goal swing right there."
In a game that eventually went to overtime, the sleight of hand turned out to be a pivotal play for the Orange.
The real deal It was only the first game of the season for Albany, and the Danes still have significant questions to answer at the face-off X and on defense, but there is no question their offense is as good as any team in the country and could carry them deep into the playoffs. Desko believes the reason lies in Marr's ability to surround the Thompsons with midfielders good enough to take advantage of all the attention the talented trio commands at attack.
"I give a lot of credit to the Albany team," Desko said after the Danes rallied from a five-goal, fourth-quarter deficit to send it into OT. "He's got 90 percent of his team back, and they know people are going to be after their attackmen, and I thought a lot of their middies came up big, scored big goals for them."
For sure. Albany scored 16 goals despite getting only one apiece from superstar brothers Lyle and Miles Thompson. The pair combined for seven assists, though, with several going to midfielders, who scored nine goals. Miles Thompson said the production is by design.
"We told them this is going to be their year because there's so much attention on us," he said. "The doubles and slides are going to come to us, so that's going to be a free shot for them. That's something we did pretty good today. Our midfielders stepped up."
And in the process they made defending the Great Danes a whole lot tougher.
New body Miles Thompson, always the stocky, powerful player compared to graceful brother Lyle, sported a new look in the opener that should make him even tougher to defend as a senior.
"I dropped 40 pounds," said Miles, who is listed on the 2014 roster at 5-foot-11, 185 pounds (Lyle is 6-foot, 180). "I actually got a personal trainer over the winter and worked with him. We started as soon as school ended in the first semester right until I came back to school. I gave it like a month and a half of good eating and it's kind of paying off. I definitely can feel the difference. I'm more confident in myself. Even my brother said he's more confident with me having the ball now."
New look aside, there is no confusing the contrasting styles of the brothers. Miles still loves to start from behind the cage with his back to a defender and then try to power through or past him to the front, while Lyle is more comfortable facing his foe and trying to dodge past him. Both are extremely effective.
Galasso update Desko is guardedly optimistic that former North Carolina All-American Nicky Galasso, who has been at SU for more than a year now but has yet to play a game due first to a foot injury and now an upper-body problem, could see some action when Maryland visits the Dome at 1 p.m. Saturday. It will be SU's first-ever ACC contest.
"He's doing some things in practice," Desko said. "I'm happy to see him out there with the guys. It (his return) will be close to this weekend. I'll know more as the week progresses."

NYC Deputy Mayor: Bike Lanes, Not Mandatory Helmet Laws, Save Lives
How are oversize sodas and bike helmets alike?
According to a New York City official, they're really not.
New York City Deputy Mayor Howard Wolfson -- an avid bicyclist -- was at a press conference Thursday for Mayor Michael Bloomberg's proposed ban on super-sized, sugary sodas. He was asked why the mayor didn't support mandatory bike helmet legislation for all riders (like the bill just introduced into New York's City Council by council member David Greenfield.)
You can listen to Wolfson's explanation below, or read his response.
"First of all, there's no other major city in the country that has a mandatory bike helmet law, and there's a reason why. The thing that actually saves the lives of cyclists is protecting them from drivers, which we have done more in this city than any other city in America. It's why our fatalities are down in this city, accident fatalities are down to an all-time low. So we are making enormous progress in keeping cyclists alive. I understand there is a council person who has promulgated this. He is not a friend of bicyclists. He is against bike lanes. So I'm not going to take -- and this administration is not going to take advice on protecting cyclists from somebody who has consistently been against the things that saves the lives of cyclists. As somebody who bikes to work nearly every day, I can tell you what saves the lives of cyclists. It's separating cyclists from cars. And we've done more of that in this city than any other city in America. We're going to keep doing that, we're going to keep driving down fatalities, we've been successful at it. We're not going to take advice from people who aren't actually on the side of cyclist safety."
Wolfson also underscored his point by tweeting it at Greenfield.

Forgiving flaws en masse part of the pitch
THEY look like ordinary white tents, but this week they will be privy to tens of thousands of deep, dark secrets.
About 1000 priests from all parts of the globe will offer Confession, or Reconciliation as it is now known, to World Youth Day pilgrims in about 50 languages from Tuesday.
The Catholic Church sacrament will be offered at Hyde Park, The Domain, The Hungry Mile and both the Sydney Entertainment and Exhibition centres. It will also be offered at Randwick on Saturday.
Monsignor Marc Caron, the World Youth Day Reconciliation manager, said 112 priests would be offering Confession at any one time for a total of 26 hours during the week.
Monsignor Caron, from the US state of Maine, said it was anticipated that up to half the expected 225,000 pilgrims would take part in Confession.
As well as the tent confessionals, which will cater for 10 priests and 10 penitents at a time, separated by partitions, there will be outdoor venues at Hyde Park and Randwick.
The Hyde Park confessionals will take up to 20 priests and 20 penitents at a time, separated by rope.
The centres will be marked by a symbol depicting two people sitting across from each other under a cross.
Reconciliation will also be offered at each of the Catechesis venues - about 235 of them - throughout Sydney.

Barack Obama once taught at a university where he, and fellow professors, adhered to principles of civility and calm rational thinking. Alas, such is not the world of politics. Politicians lie, they exaggerate, they distort, they focus on the unimportant in debating, and they are not interested in coming across as a wise sage. Their only concern is to get your vote. Up to this point, Obama has been performing as a college professor. Last night, he began to act like a politician and the result was favorable to him.
Mitt Romney constantly lies and distorts. His famous "Five Points" is the mystery of American politics. His famous, "twelve million jobs" exists in his mind, but there is no way anyone can promise and carry out that promise of 12 million jobs. So, Barack, welcome to the world of politics. Act like a politician and, who knows, you might win the election.

Re: problem in expression
Numbers with decimal points are approximate numbers rather than exact
numbers. As soon as you introduce a decimal point into a calculation it will
be done entirely with approximate numbers. This might often be the normal
manner of doing it. Mathematica is saying it doesn't know if those terms are
exactly zero.
In some cases you may be able to formulate your equations entirely with
exact numbers (integers, rational numbers, exact roots) and then you will
obtain exact answers - if Mathematica can solve it.
Otherwise you can use Chop on your output to get rid of the 0. terms and
Rationalize to get rid of the 1. Factor.

Newspapers need to effectively monetize social media if they want to sustain their business
U.S. Internet users spent more time on Facebook than Yahoo and Google combined this past year (Nielsen, 2011). Following users, companies are also on track to spend 13.7 percent of their marketing budget on social media advertising (Borrell Inc. , 2012). Traditionally, small businesses advertised in local papers to drum up sales for their businesses. In the current scenario, Facebook and Twitter accounts threaten to usurp the place that newspapers had in selling the business to its readers.
Many would argue that getting rid of the middle man is the way of the future, but a newspaper has more brand recognition and still gets more eyeballs. The problem facing them right now is how to convert the readership into an effective revenue stream.
Most newspapers already have Twitter accounts and Facebook pages, and have had them for some time now. These accounts have quite a few followers and fans. The main concern is accurate calculation of the return on investment (RoI) in social media so that they can convince their advertisers to come back. One method to measure RoI is through tracking the click-through from the respective social media accounts and pages. Another method is to use social media to sell advertising space. Some newspapers are already exploring this avenue to generate more revenue.
One such newspaper is the Austin Statesman. Advertisers looking to tap into the Twitter follower base of the Statesman can do so. Mingled within the tweets of their twitter account, which include tweets on the local happenings in Austin, TX, and replies to their followers are advertisements from local businesses. The tweeted ads are distinguished by the hashtag 'ad', and it doesn't look as if the newspaper has lost many followers over its decision to incorporate advertisements into its Twitter account. This probably has to do with the fact that each advertiser only gets two tweets in a day, one in the morning, and one in the afternoon, and that the paper has strict guidelines on what gets tweeted and how.
Another newspaper experimenting with generating ad sales in social media is the Wall Street Journal. In Sept 2011, they released their WSJ Social app on Facebook. Since the advertisements appear in the app itself, and not on the Wall, it doesn't violate Facebook's policy. WSJ uses space within the app to advertise, and Facebook uses the right-hand side column to showcase its sponsored posts. Furthermore, readers are able to read articles written by the favored editors without navigating away from Facebook to the WSJ's website.
For every newspaper trying to monetize its social media presence there are hundreds who are not. Social media outsourcing doubled from 14 percent in 2010 to 28 percent in 2011. Of all the tasks that marketers outsourced, design/development, analytics and content creation comprised the top three (Social Media Examiner, 2011). If a newspaper is already outsourcing its digital content production, it could leverage its service provider's capabilities to create a Facebook app and sell advertising space there. Tweeting ad images is a viable alternative for advertising through Twitter accounts. To such effect, service providers, who serve newspaper publications, need to anticipate their client's needs, and ramp-up their skill set to provide such services.
I believe that social media can be effectively used as a source of revenue for newspapers, as long as they don't turn their accounts into one giant billboard space.
