I am pleased to share with that the Department of Veterans Affairs has agreed to a 20-year lease for a new Community-Based Outpatient Clinic at 955 West Fillmore Street in downtown Colorado Springs.
The 76,000-square foot facility is more than double the space in the current two clinics that are being replaced by the new "super" clinic. The replacement clinic will provide primary care, mental health, specialty care, and ancillary diagnostic service for veterans in the eastern Rockies area.
I fought for this super clinic with expanded services because I know our veterans need it. This clinic will make world-class medical care more easily accessible to veterans throughout the Pikes Peak region.
Colorado Springs is home to nearly 100,000 veterans and their families. This new clinic is further evidence that the Veterans Administration recognizes their growing numbers and is committed to providing them the best medical care.
The VA is expected to move into the clinic in November 2014.
In April 2011, Congress authorized $10 million for construction of an expanded VA clinic in Colorado Springs. The VA, citing growing veterans population, approved having a new clinic.
When combined with the surgical services available at the Air Force Academy, this new clinic will ensure that veterans in our community can get a more complete package of medical care in Colorado Springs.
The new clinic on 18 acres at the corner of West Fillmore Street and Centennial Boulevard will provide the following services:
total radiological
mental health care
substance abuse treatment
physical therapy
home-based primary care
Dedicated area for the completion of compensation and benefit exams to include
3000 square feet to be occupied by the Veterans Benefit Administration
Veterans Business Center

The Penguins' 5-1 loss at Chicago's Soldier Field Saturday night could be good. Hopefully, it will serve as a wake-up call.
The Penguins were thoroughly humiliated and embarrassed in front of 63,000-plus and a huge national television audience.
The locker room was funereal after. The game was a blowout, and the Penguins certainly knew it. The Blackhawks' Jonathan Toews was dominant. The Penguins' stars were impotent.
The Penguins' 40-16-4 record flatters to deceive. Saturday night showed the Penguins are on the fringe of being Stanley Cup contenders. No better.
It is not a team of great character. A team of great character does not shrink from that occasion to that degree.
The Penguins never seemed to figure out that they were playing in a blizzard. They kept making cute 15-foot passes in the neutral zone. Dan Bylsma must think he can out-coach Mother Nature. The Blackhawks just fired the puck in deep and made the Penguins (literally) dig their way out.
The Penguins need a shakeup. They need a kick up the backside. One problem: No one in that organization will provide that. It's the get-along gang.
If the Penguins acquire Vancouver center Ryan Kesler, that helps. He's an excellent player.
But the Penguins' biggest shortcoming is lack of depth at forward. Kesler replacing Brandon Sutter would be an upgrade at third-line center, but the paucity of depth will remain.

June 22, 2003
PALO ALTO, Calif. - Sunday marked yet another career day for former Vol Tom Pappas, Tennessee's most decorated decathlete, as he bettered legendary Dan O'Brien's USA Outdoor Championships meet record in the decathlon. Pappas won his third U.S. decathlon title and locked up a spot on the U.S. team for the World Championships with his career-best score of 8,784. Meanwhile, former Vol Tim Mack took the last U.S. qualifying spot for the World Championships in the pole vault with his third-place, 18-8.25 clearance at Stanford's Cobb Track and Angell Field.
With his 8,784 winner, Pappas topped O'Brien's meet record of 8,726 and shattered his own previous lifetime best of 8,585. Pappas' score moved him past such luminaries as Bruce Jenner, Steve Fritz, Chris Huffins and Dave Johnson on the all-time decathlon list.
"I'm relatively healthy and I am on a real high after this meet," Pappas said. "I think it's going to take this score to win at the worlds. My goal was to make it on the world team and win. I didn't have a goal for points. I am very pleased. After the long jump, I thought I had a chance for a big score.
Pappas didn't win any of the five events Sunday but finished in the top three of events six through nine to post an insurmountable lead. Runner-up Bryan Clay scored 8,482, a whopping 302 points less than red-hot Pappas, now competing for Nike. Pappas took third in the 110m hurdles to start his day with a 14.13 time. Next up, he took second in the discus with a 150-5 effort. In the pole vault, Pappas tied for second with a 17-0.25 clearance. He nabbed third in the javelin with a 199-4 heave. Needing to finish the meet-capping 1,500m run in 4:57 to break O'Brien's meet record, Pappas clocked in at 4:48.12 to take 12th and easily rewrite his name on the top of the list.
However, Vol Stephen Harris wasn't so lucky as the Tennessee captain took
16th with 7,093 points, more than 1,000 points below his lifetime best. He
met misfortune in the skies over the pole vault pit with a no height on the
eighth of 10 events. Harris passed on the opening height of 13-5.25 before
taking three misses at 13-9.25. The rest of his day was respectable, however.
Harris' second-day marks include a fourth-place, 14.44 in the 110m hurdles, a
15th-place, 130-10 in the discus, no height in the pole vault, 12th-place,
175-5 in the javelin and 10th-place, 4:46.51 in the 1,500m run.
Meanwhile, former Vol Chad Smith finished 15th with 7,100 points. Smith took 17th in 17.98 in the 110m hurdles, eighth with a 140-7 in the discus, fifth with a 16-0.75 in the pole vault, 16th with a 167-4 in the javelin and 15th in the 1,500m run with a 4:57.80.
Tennessee also got some good news in the pole vault to counterbalance Harris' tough break. Former Vol Mack, now competing for Nike, pierced the California sky for an 18-8.25 clearance in the pole vault. Mack took third, the last spot on the U.S. team for the World Championships in August. Champion Jeff Hartwig of Nike also cleared 18-8.25 but got bumped up on misses. Mack passed at 17-10.5 before clearing 18-2.5 on his second attempt. Mack needed three attempts to clear 18-6.5, but just one leap to surpass the 18-8.25 bar. Mack missed three chances at 18-10.25.
However, former Vol Lawrence Johnson came into the competition at 18-8.25, but no heighted.
Sunday's action concludes the USA Outdoor Championships.

Was Jack Nicholson Aware of This?
Star reports that Lara Flynn Boyle got hitched. Who, you ask? Remember – Twin Peaks, The Practice, Las Vegas? No? Uh, ok – bangs Jack Nicholson on and off and took some of the most alarmingly skeletally thin bikini pictures in recent memory. Yeah, her.
Jack Nicholson, you lost your big chance. Lara Flynn Boyle is off the market! The bony beauty got hitched to Donald Ray Thomas on Sunday Dec. 17 in a small ceremony in San Antonio, Texas.
Lara got married in Donald's backyard of his house in San Antonio and by Monday had checked into a small boutique hotel nearby where they had reserved the Penthouse Suite, also known as the honeymoon suite.
Details on Lara Flynn Boyle's marriage ceremony, and more shots of that freaky mug, after the jump.
"She was beaming and he was full of energy, kept going on and on about how happy he was. She said she was going back to Los Angeles but that she was going to eventually move to San Antonio to be with her husband and then commute to L.A. when she needed to for work."
The marriage must have been somewhat sudden because they didn't even have rings ready for the ceremony.
"Some guy came to the hotel on Monday night to drop off their rings," says the source.
I have a soft spot for Lara seeing that I was a big Twin Peaks fan and she was hot shit on the Practice. But what do ya think – she's knocked up or they were out of their minds on powder? Anyone? Because there's no way in hell this bitch is moving to San Antonio to live in a trailer or whatever.

The Era
The era of the dark is goin to come.
There, the darkest insects and the worst worms
Creep out from the murky span of the ancient crypt
That we had neither seen, nor going to.
Only the dirge and the mild sound
Of the concealed bawls will puff into our ears.
Hang back, the time is on its way, to make sure
Only the evil remain, and it remains profound.
The relics still makes me wonder,
About the place being hidden?
Searching for one to make myself reveal!
Silent mysterious haze still holds me in.
Departing the goods to make me breathing ...

It's been a long week. One incredibly fun photo shoot, three days of music playing, eardrums blasted in front of amps at a bar, and met the cutest 6 month old baby yet. Yes this week has been trying, long, but amazing. I think it's time we deserved some brownies.
Okay, so a friend of mine requested for brownies to be brought to rehearsal. I flipped through Dorie's book and found recipes from minty brownies to Katherine Hepburne's brownies… What I wanted was something less than elaborate, easy, and fudgy. This recipe for bittersweet brownies fit the bill. Dense, moist, and like what Dorie said, easily mistaken for a dense mousse. I kept wondering if it was because I substituted 2/3 of the sugar with soft brown sugar or if I had under-baked them a little too much. I guess the mystery was solved when I read the recipe again specially for this post!
Case in point, you bake these, knife inserted comes out clean, and what your teeth sink into is this soft, fudgy mousse-like cake…it's all fine!
For the win, top these with a dollop of whipped cream, creme fraiche, or better yet, vanilla ice cream. Classics never fail, and with chocolate, the day just gets better by the minute.
Bittersweet Brownies
by Dorie Greenspan from "Baking from my home to yours"
makes 32
(this recipe can be easily halved if you think 32 brownies are a bit much.)
2 sticks (8 oz) unsalted butter, cut into 16 pieces
9 oz bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 tbsp instant espresso powder, optional
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 C all purpose flour
Centre a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 325 F. Line a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with foil, butter the foil and place the pan on a baking sheet.
Set a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Put the butter in together with the chocolate and stir occasionally till just melted. Do not overheat it that the butter separates. Remove the bowl from the water.
With a whisk, stir in the sugar. It might get grainy, but it will even out. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla and whisk enthusiastically to smooth the batter. Finally, gently whisk in the espresso powder, salt and flour, stirring till just incorporated. Scrape the batter into the pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the brownies 20-22 mins, or until the top is dull and a thin knife inserted into the centre comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool them to room temp.
Once completely cooled, turn out onto a rack, peel away the foil and invert onto a cutting board. Cut into 32 slender rectangles, each roughly 2 1/4 x 1 1/2 inches.

I absolutely adore this stuff. I use two drops mixed in with my conditioner (actually mixed in my palm, that is key) and apply mainly to the ends. Has totally helped with my split ends, and considering how little is used each time it is definitely worth the price.

In the full story which appeared elsewhere, Brawn is quoted as saying " we know what we have to do, but it won't happen overnight". Same old BS The team has always been the problem, not the drivers. I doubt if Schumi was too bothered with the stickers, more likely are the wheel bolts tightened, will my DRS get stuck again etc. 28 agree 3 disagree

Probably springs too.
Does anyone know if you buy a P2000 in .40 can you convert it to 357SIG? If you can what do you need to do except buying a 357 barrel. Do you need different magazines or something else?
Just picked up a P2000 in 357 Sig and it also came with a 40 S&W barrel, and no mention of needing anything else.
Not sure about yours but i bought a p2000sk .357 .40 combo and all i have to do is change out the barrel. Good luck!!
Can you convert the USPc .357 sig to .40 also? I don't know the differences between both models.

Learn about Gotham's lesser-known past
Visit five obscure spots for a lesson in city history.
Plymouth Church of the Pilgrims
Founded in 1847, this Brooklyn Heights church was once an abolitionist hothouse. Led by pastor Henry Ward Beecher (brother of Uncle Tom's Cabin author Harriet Beecher Stowe), the house of worship became known as the "Grand Central Depot" of the Underground Railroad, and its congregation helped channel countless escaped slaves northward. Beecher was known for his fiery sermons, which made national headlines and drew visitors like Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain, and even staged mock auctions to buy slaves' liberty. During complimentary tours of the space, visitors can see the ring Beecher put on slave girl Pinky in 1860, "wedding" her to freedom. 75 Hicks St between Cranberry and Orange Sts, Brooklyn Heights (718-624-4743, plymouthchurch.org). Tours by appointment Mon–Fri 10am–4pm, Sun after morning worship; free.
Sylvan Terrace and Morris-Jumel Mansion
Tucked away on a Washington Heights side street, narrow Sylvan Terrace looks more like a rural boulevard than a New York City block. The tidy clapboard homes, with green shutters and steep staircases, were built in 1882 as private residences (and yes, they're still occupied to this day). The cobbled street, meanwhile, leads up a small hill to the shady lawn of the Morris-Jumel Mansion, which was briefly used as George Washington's headquarters during the Revolutionary War. Visitors can see items that belonged to eccentric former owner Eliza Jumel—including a pair of decorative gold wings above the foyer doors, which she claimed were a gift from Napoleon. 65 Jumel Terr between 160th and 162nd Sts (212-923-8008, morrisjumel.org). Wed–Sun 10am–4pm; $5, seniors and students $4.
Weeksville Heritage Center
Four modest buildings, called the Hunterfly Road Houses, are all that remains of this former African-American village. New York abolished slavery in 1827, and 11 years later, James Weeks, a freed black man, purchased the land that would become the settlement. Weeksville grew to include schools, churches and an orphanage; it also provided refuge for those injured during the Civil War Draft Riots of 1863. Though it thrived throughout the 19th century, it was gradually absorbed into Brooklyn as the borough grew, and today the Hunterfly houses function as a museum and learning center. 1698 Bergen St between Buffalo and Rochester Aves, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn (718-756-5250, weeksvillesociety.org). Tours Tue–Fri 3pm; $5, seniors and students $4.
Quaker Meeting House
Flushing, Queens, is a famously diverse neighborhood, which includes one of the city's largest Chinese enclaves. But vestiges of its past—English settlers founded it in the 17th century—remain, including the 1694 Quaker Meeting House, a simple wooden hall that sits near a busy street. The state's oldest religious building holds a silent meeting for worship on Sundays at 11am. It's hard to believe that the predecessors of today's peaceful, soft-spoken Quakers provoked the ire of Governor Peter Stuyvesant. His persecution of faiths outside the Reformed Dutch Church led citizens to sign the landmark 1657 Flushing Remonstrance, advocating religious tolerance. 137-16 Northern Blvd between Linden Pl and Main St, Flushing, Queens (718-358-9636, nyym.org/flushing). Tours Sun noon; free.
Westchester Square
When you exit the 6 train at Westchester Sq–East Tremont Ave station in the Bronx, the immediate surrounding area feels like a small town. There's a tiny triangular green that goes back to 1654, when the Dutch settled the village of Oostorp, and moldy tombstones stand beside St. Peter's EpiscopalChurch, whose parish dates to 1693. Make an appointment to see the beautiful 19th-century Huntington Free Library (call for hours; 718-829-7770), a private non-profit library with a special collection of Bronx history. E Tremont and Westchester Aves, Bronx

Unleashing a belated but powerful acceleration, Kingman blew past the battling pair of Toronado and pacesetter Darwin in the closing stages and won the QIPCO Sussex Stakes (Eng-I) July 30 at Goodwood.
The race was hyped as a showdown between recent Royal Ascot winners Kingman and older rival Toronado, who won last year's edition of the race, but an extended match never materialized. Kingman tracked at the back of the compact field of four before dispatching his three opponents with a brilliant turn of foot once he got going late for James Doyle.
A 3-year-old son of Invincible Spirit, Kingman won by one length as the 2-5 favorite while stamping himself as Europe's top miler.
Toronado, winner of the Queen Anne Stakes (Eng-I) last time out, pressed Darwin's moderate pace and looked to get his nose ahead of the front-runner when the sprinting began in early stretch, but the tenacious Darwin refused to yield and the pair dueled stride for stride. Shaken up by Doyle, Kingman willingly responded when finding flat ground in the final furlong. Showing a brilliant burst of speed, he rushed past the leading pair in the last 110 yards to get the win.
Toronado held for second and Darwin was a head back in third. Outstrip was 1 3/4 lengths behind in fourth to complete the order of finish.
Kingman completed one mile in 1:41.75 on good to firm turf and notched his third straight group I victory and fourth win from five starts this season for owner/breeder Juddmonte Farms and trainer John Gosden. He has a 6-1-0 record from seven career starts.
"We're incredibly lucky to have such a horse of this caliber," Teddy Grimthrope, racing manager for Juddmonte owner Khalid Abdullah, said about Kingman. "He excites people as well.
"When you see that turn of foot it gets the blood rushing. We all want to see more of it."
In his start prior to the Sussex, Kingman impressively turned the tables on his QIPCO Two Thousand Guineas (Eng-I) conqueror Night of Thunder in the June 17 St. James's Palace Stakes (Eng-I) going a mile at the royal meeting. The victory followed his win in the Tattersalls Irish Two Thousand Guineas (Ire-I). He began the season with a win over Night of Thunder in the Aon Greenham Stakes (Eng-III).
Kingman, bred in Great Britain, is out of the Zamindar mare Zenda, winner of the 2002 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches (Fr-I, French One Thousand Guineas) for Juddmonte. A half sister to European champion sprinter and prominent Juddmonte sire Oasis Dream, Zenda also is the dam of group III winner Remote. Second dam Hope is a full sister to 1993 Irish Oaks (Ire-I) winner Wemyss Bight, the dam of U.S. and French group I winner Beat Hollow.

best model year
take your pick ...
1987 to 1992? forget the 1993s
Re: best model year
1993 Hands down! Then I would pick the 1990 1/2 or the 1992 just for the upgrades and the Recarros. Sorry to bust your bubble, but the 1993 Northstar Allante is the best by far. My brakes work just fine and I don't have to worry about if they are going to fail w/o proper and timely service. I also kinda like the Old Man Seats as you call them. I would trade my Delcrap Stereo for your Bose in a NY minute.

Re: best model yearOriginally Posted by Allante North *
Granted, neither Cadillac nor Bosch indicated that the Bosch system requires annual fluid changes. Now that we know that the brake fluid has to be changed, it's just a matter of regular maintenance. The Bosch system does have components that have to be replaced after 75,000-100,000 miles but these systems are now available rebuilt for a reasonable price. Another maintenance item was that the aluminum engines require a semi-annual anti-freeze change. Even though that was in the manual, not many subscribed to that maintenance schedule; so some of the early models, especially the ones with the 4.1 engines got some bad press.
By the same token, it's not accurate to portray the '93s as a trouble-free car. That's just not true, especially the early ones. Many engines developed extensive oil leaks which require a complete engine tear down, the cost of which is considerably more than replacing the Bosch III brake components on the early models. The '93s brake system, although simpler than the Bosch III, ALSO requires regular fluid changes; so the car is certainly NOT maintenance-free.
I'd be the first to acknowledge some of the advantages of the '93s which included the elimination of the redundant lighting system and movement of the side mirrors of the earlier models. And the top well had been enlarged significantly by '93 and Porsche automatic windshield top latches (both changes had occured prior to '93) were in place, but there was no automatic top ever.
I have seen others mention that the elimination of the faux vent window in the '93s permitted more wind noise; but I didn't notice any significant difference.
In terms of prices, I've noticed the prices of '93s have fallen dramatically from the 20K+ while the prices of the earlier models has firmed up or even risen slightly. The '93 that I looked at was priced at $10,500 which was reasonable in my view.
I considered acquiring that car and then selling my '88; but I finally decided that I would actually PREFER my '88 to that particular car (and it was a nice car!). I did let everyone on the AAG site know about the availability of the car and said that I would be happy to pass the owner's name to any interested party.
Please note that I had no emails of inquiry which tells you something about the perceived value of '93's in the real world of knowledgable owners of Allantes.

Re: best model yearOriginally Posted by Brian Bray
Maybe there were no replies for the same reason you didn't give up your '88 for a '93 (ie. they already have one they've invested their time and $$$ into.).
Since most AAG members already own one I wouldn't expect any replies.
Now if you posted to a list of people who've never owned one but want one then I'd think you'd received many replies.
I for one think a 1st time buyer of an Allante will be far happier in the long run if they can find a decent late '93 rather than purchase a decent earlier model. Lets face it, the late '93s were Cadillac's best attempt at correcting and improving upon their original design.
Personally, I'm not a fan of the Recardo seats. I don't like the long control panel, the unsightly hook that guides the seatbeat by the headrest or the starwars looking headrests themselves. I've always liked the standard cadillac looking (Eldorado) seats and headrests (they put in the '93). I've had 4 other Cadillacs.
Moreover, I love the contour of the rear boot on the '93 vice the sculptured look of the older boots. To me they look like basic molded plastic.
As you said, "Everyone is entitiled to their own opinion..." That's all I'm voicing.

Some would argue that the "improvement" of the car culminating in the '93 model was more of a cheapening of the car. I happen to believe that there was some improvements and there was some cheapening.
I also like the looks of the Cadillac seats. But I don't think they look any better (or worse) than the Recaros. I personally like a harder seat like a Recaro especially for longer trips. But understand that I also have a 450SL which I like the seats and we both know what MZB seats are like (Hard!!).
You may be very correct in that no one in AAG at that
moment wanted to make an additional investment in an Allante, but the fact that at a $10,500 price which many would have said only a few months before was about 50% for a '93 market price didn't raise any comment was truly indicative of the lowering of the value of the '93s (which was my point).
I absolutely agree with you that the softop cover on the later models is far superior to the ones on the early models (especially the '87s and '88s like I have).
If the price was the same and the buyer had never owned an Allante, then I would agree that a '93 would probably be a more satisfying car than the older models; but the real issue is should that buyer pay a premium for a '93. I don't think so. Brian Bray
Re: best model year
Ladies, ladies, and gents...
Missing the point all of you are .. with an Allanté, one can't beat the value, even if it is a 93, for a car of this class. if there were only '93s, i be buying one.
BUT, between us, the Allanté owners:
Power, that is what we ALL Allanté owners want ...
Compared to a 92, that is what the 93 has, not off the line, but at high speed and at the top of the torque curve.
Off the line, it's a mute issue between a 92 and a 93.
Reliability? A late Northstar (not Allanté) is better than an early Northstar (93 Allanté). A 92 4.5l better than a 93 Northstar.
Give me a late model Northstar into my 88, or in a 92, with the proper DIC and ECM controls, and I am salivating.. can I afford it? Yeahh right!
let's talk "World Class Cars"?
RECAROS are the only choice of this level of cars, Allanté, Porche, Lincoln LCS, and a ton of other sports, GTs & roadsters -- european, japanese, no matter .. let's be real, a few like you may like the ElDorado "old man" seat, but is not going to be the choice seat for the rest of the planet.
AND, to be REAL "REAL", the ONLY reason the 93 did not get the RECAROS is that Cadillac was doing COST SAVINGS .. several thousand $$$$ saved just in the seats.
dahhhh ....
even if a 87-92 BOSE capacitor blows after 16 yrs, so what .. replace it with a 50cent 16v cap form radio shack and a solder iron. No BOSE for 93s.
The lighting controls serve to program the Body Computer Module (BCM) with your desires for the way things should be, but the BCM actually calls the plays. All of the exterior lights (and inside courtesy lights) are turned ON and OFF by small electronic Modules by what you desire, understanding that the light unit you expect may or may not be the one turned on by the BCM as it substitutes failed bulbs or filaments to accomplish the job desired. And of course, reports failures (and in some cases failing but still working) of filaments or bulbs to the driver via the DIC.. This technological advance was deemed to extravagant for the 1993 .. don't know about you, but I like not needing help to check the lights anymore, the DIC tells me when one is needed.
HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cost savings again.
A claim in the sales brochures of the early models was that with the top down, the advanced aerodynamics allowed for a normal conversation at 55 mph - with the "FAUX vent window" and windows down, model years 1987 to 1992. The FAUX window vanished with the1993 models.
ABS, Bosch -
TRY IT .. high speed (60 mph) 90 degree turn, brakes applied, SHE GOES right where you want her!!!! Holly Sh.... It really works. 87 - 92.
1993? Don't know .. my guess, NOT! Evidenced by the high number of front end collisions of 93s, I think the 93 ABS may not perform as well. It certainly does NOT perform better.
sooo, we change the fluid every two years on the 87-92 ... big deal.
The door latches on all 1987 to 1992 Allanté are identical, with the sturdy tapered pin self centering which locks the door to the body perfectly. The door latch on a 1993 Allanté is identical to that on a economy 1997 Lumina ... HELLO!!!!!! COST SAVINGS. Be careful with potholes on the 93 .. things happen with the doors.
87-92 .. solid metal center caps, chrome wreath, metal colored crowns.
Then, 93s went to PLASTIC CAP centers ... HELLO!!!! COST SAVINGS.
Canvas TOP -
improved through the years, EVOLUTION. 93 better than 87, ok ...
BUT, all and all, Cadillac tried to sell an engine in 93, instead of a car ... slow sales got slower, then died, then the Allanté was terminated. Heck, they took off so many goodies away to pay for the Northstar, they downgraded the car as a whole. Stayed tuned, around the year 2020, we shall see what has staying power and value, the downgraded 93 or the fully equipped 87-92 .. then we will know.
BUYERS in the $60,000 range (1987-1993) do not buy engines, the buy CARS .. seats, ride comfort, sound, style, luxury, status .. the power is already an expectation, the rest is seen and felt. If they want more power than the 200 - 300 hp range, they go to a different breed of cars. Usually jumping to the 500 hp range, and much more than $60k.
would i trade off the Allanté? in a hearbeat, for a Diablo Lambo. lotto, here i come!
and after this RANT! one would agree, the best model year Allanté is of course, the one you own. now, if you don't own one yet, then the posibilities are ......
and after this RANT! one would agree, the best model year Allanté is of course, the one you own. now, if you don't own one yet, then the posibilities are ......
Good summary!
The best Allante is the one you drive, the rest are just eye candy.

Leaving no doubt that this is not a car for getting groceries, carbon fiber accessories like a front splitter with winglets, new hood, and rear overfenders under the decklid and wing have been draped outside. To make sure all of that aggression isn't wasted, the 3.8-liter V6 has been boosted to 395 horsepower and 340 pound-feet of torque, with a performance intake leading to a Brian Crower 4.2 Stoker kit and other internals strengthened with the necessary upgrades.
The driver's office is a "custom interior" by JPM Coachworks, featuring a Sparco wheel and seats tucked into the roll cage. An LSD keeps things in order, six-piston brakes front and rear bring things to a stop and it'll sit low on the job over ARK coilovers. Now you have something to look forward to come November, which the press release below will tell you more about.

The disabling headaches can be prevented by taking a new drug before menstruation, a US trial suggests.
Around four million women in the UK alone suffer from migraines, many triggered by hormonal changes at the 'time of the month'.
The therapy, frovatriptan succinate, is already available in the US and is about to be licensed in the UK.
Frovatriptan is a member of a class of drugs called triptans, which reduce inflammation of certain blood vessels in the brain thought to cause pain.
It is currently prescribed for acute migraine attacks but its use could be extended as a prevention for menstrually associated migraines (MAM).
'Millions suffering'
The US trial involved 545 women with MAM who were treated for three months with frovatriptan or placebo.
They were given tablets for six days - two days before and four days during their period.
About half of patients on the drug had no headaches while taking it compared with about a quarter of the placebo group.
"We're excited about this study because this is the first time we've seen a triptan actually prevent these headaches in such a large number of women before they experience pain," said the principal investigator of the study, Prof Stephen Silberstein of Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University.
"While MAM is not a widely recognised term, millions of women have been suffering for many days each month.
"When the women we studied took frovatriptan for six days, many of them did not have their expected disabling migraine headaches."
Ann Turner of the Migraine Action Association in the UK said a lot of women were more susceptible to migraine around the time of their period.
"Studies have suggested that this drug can be useful for women to take every day as a preventative treatment," she said.
The data will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology Meeting in Honolulu.

U.S. bomb expert says "Hurt Locker" stole his story
By Bernie Woodall
SOUTHFIELD, Mich (Reuters) - A U.S. Army sergeant who is suing the makers of Oscar-nominated film "The Hurt Locker" said on Wednesday he felt betrayed because they stole his story.
Master Sergeant Jeffrey S. Sarver, 38, has filed a lawsuit claiming that the film makers turned an account of his tense experiences defusing bombs in Iraq into the highly regarded action-thriller without his consent.
Wearing blue jeans and a blue pullover sweatshirt with wrap-around sunglasses pushed up to his crew cut, Sarver told a news conference he would have been happy to serve as a consultant to scriptwriter Mark Boal and director Kathryn Bigelow but was never asked.
"I felt a little bit left out," Sarver said. "I didn't know my rights."
Just after Sarver filed his suit on Tuesday, the film's distributor, Summit Entertainment, issued a statement reiterating the movie's claim that it is a "fictional account" about soldiers in the battlefield.
Sarver was the subject of a 2005 article in Playboy magazine under the title "The Man in the Bomb Suit."
The article was written by Boal, screenwriter for "The Hurt Locker," based on his observations as an embedded reporter with Sarver's bomb-defusing squad in Iraq in 2004.
Sarver's lawyer, Geoffrey Fieger, said the main character in the film, Will James, was clearly a representation of his client, down to his personal call signal "Blaster One." Continued...

Literary World Wonders About Salinger Manuscripts
With author J.D. Salinger's death last week at age 91, many in the literary world now wonder what stories he might still tell.
The author of "The Catcher in the Rye" supposedly spent the latter half of his life writing for his own pleasure, composing at his Cornish, New Hampshire home. A former neighbor has said Salinger told him he was keeping a stack of manuscripts in a safe. His daughter and a former lover have also claimed he had a secret stash at home.
Salinger's longtime literary agency won't comment on any possible unreleased work or even on what he might have written about.
His neighbors in Cornish, even those who say they spoke with him frequently, have no idea of what Salinger might have penned and say they're proud not to know.

The Utah Highway Patrol said a 19-year-old Sanpete County man remained in critical condition Wednesday, two days after a head-on collision.
UHP Sgt. Todd Royce said there had been no change in the status of Brady Kyle Simons, who remained at an unspecified hospital after being evacuated from the crash site Monday morning by medical helicopter. He was in intensive care.
The 7 a.m. Monday crash killed Kay Marie Matthews, 42. She was driving northbound on U.S. 89, three miles north of Gunnison, when she struck a deer carcass and lost control of her car. Matthews' vehicle crossed the center line and collided with the Toyota driven by Simons.

makita single blade planer
i have a makita single blade planer that I would like to get information on. It appears to be a tool that cuts a veneer off the stock to either use the veneer or plane a board. Does anyone have information on how to use it or has anyone used one? Thanks Larry
best bet is to google-yahoo or whatever search engine you prefer the name and MODEL NUMBER of the tool, you will no doubt find info, reviews, owners manuals, makita's website pages on this tool, etc. send us back a link? i'd like to see this tool.
Larry, I moved your post over here to the tools section.
A handheld power planer is designed for removal of stock off the edge or face of boards. It isn't going to cut off a usable veneer, just chips. Common uses for a tool like this include planing the edges of doors, scribing cabinets to walls, and a number of woodworking uses.
thanks, i'm real curious to see it.
and what's the problem with it?
Sounds like an industrial planer. I've never seen a Makita version! Would love to see a picture.
I think he's talking about a thickness planer. I have a delta 220 model. But mine has three blades. I cant not envision a single blade pulling a usable piece of veneer from a board with out it breaking it. BOB
most t-planers i've used (mine is a 13" rigid) have at least 2 blades. never seen a single blade planer b4. this is why i'm curious.
Makita Single Planer
Go to you tube and type in makita precision planer. There is a video of what it does. I have not been able to get mine to work or been able to contaact the person that has one. The machine runs and works but won't feed the wood through. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Larry
if it's set up the way a standard planer is, then you have rubber rollers under there to drag the wood through. if they do not turn, wood do not go. are they turning?
I just watched the videos on youtube and it almost looks like the blade doesn't spin like a normal thickness planer but instead the belt feeds the material against a stationary blade that planes a thin strip of wood off. Kinda like a manual hand planer with a belt under it to move the material across the blade.
If it is not carrying the wood threw the machine and the belt is moving. I would assume that the board is getting wedged somehow, not enough clearance for the wood to go threw the machine. From the videos it looks like it only takes a very very thin sliver off. Try raising the planer up and see if the board gets carried threw without taking anything off. If it does try lowering it little by little and see if you can get it to carry the board threw.
Makita Single Blade Planer
The motor and belt seems to work fine. The board does not seem have enough traction on hte belt in order to be moved through the blade. I have tried limiting the cutting to the minimum cut possible. It still won't feed the board through. The blade seems sharp. I have tried 2x4" and ceder pickets without luck.
any help would be appreciated. Larry
Is the belt wore out? From the videos it doesn't seem like there is many things to make the board go threw the machine. Maybe try to google it and try and get an owners manual.
being on dialup, i can't see the video, but if it's a slow moving roller that grips the wood, then there needs to be grip and torque to push it through the blade. if torque, then the belt-drive is not doing it's job, if grip, then the rollers are not adjusted correctly. purely hypothetical, of course, not seeing what you have. are either adjustable? belt or roller tension?

Revel Adds Sugarland and Kid Rock To Their June Schedule
With all the buzz in Atlantic City around the Revel Resort, their Ovation Hall has added 2 more big shows to their growing list of amazing talent that is a part of the launch of the newest spot just past the Boardwalk.
June kicks off big at the 5,000-seat Ovation Hall with the rapper/rocker/country singing/not your typical pop star from Detroit. Kid Rock brings all sides of his to Revel Resort on Sat., June 2nd.
Bob Ritchie (Kid's birth name) has come along way from his early start at fame in the 90s with 3 CD releases with 3 different record labels (his 2nd CD was released by Continuum Records – a label that was based in Northern New Jersey). 1998 saw his breakthrough with Devil Without A Cause – originally released on his own imprint, Atlantic Records picked up the innovative project with many sides to this talented musician. The CD went on to sell over 11 Million copies in the U.S., and since then has made his career in music on his terms.
Kid Rock has scored 11 Top-20 Rock hits, a pair of Top-20 Country hits, and 3 major Pop Hits – "Only God Knows Why", "All Summer Long" (his biggest hit of his career to date), and "Picture" with Sheryl Crow. Whether he raps on "Cowboy" or "Bawitdaba", or brings a rebel country vibe with "Born Free", the many layers of Kid will make for a great show.
Later in June, the country superstar duo Sugarland take to the Ovation Hall amphitheater stage on Fri., June 15th. With 12 Top-10 Country hits – 5 of those reaching #1, and 4 others to #2 – Jennifer Nettles and Krystian Bush have been a force over the last decade having sold over 12 Million CD's with their 3 releases. Their 2010 release ("The Incredible Machine") has produced their highest selling single of their career with "Stuck Like Glue" (this is also their highest charting single on the Billboard Hot 100 at #17).
If you are a fan of Sugarland, you can help set the group's playlist through Facebook, Twitter, and even signs you create for the concert. One question for this show is whether Jon Bon Jovi would come down from his Central Jersey home to join the duo on stage – remember that Jennifer Nettles scored a #1 Country hit with Bon Jovi with "Who Says You Can't Go Home".
Tickets for both shows will be on-sale this Friday @ 10 through Ticketmaster outlets, Ticketmaster.com, or the charge by phone (1-800-745-3000).

President Kagame urges Africans to turn challenges into opportunities
Posted on 08. Aug, 2014 by admin in Contribute, English
The US Africa Summit began its first day with the US Africa Business Forum bringing together leaders in the business sectors from both Africa and the United States to discuss opportunities for partnership.
Speaking on the panel titled "Game Plan: Shaping the Future of a Fast- Growing Continent" including President Paul Kagameof Rwanda, Macky Sall of Senegal, Marzouki of Tunisia, Zuma of South Africa and Kikwete of Tanzania, Kagame highlighted the potential to turn Africa's challenges into opportunities.
"Through this partnership, imagine the kind of growth and development than can be unleashed. But there has to be grounds on which growth can translate into development. Each of the members in this partnership has responsibilities and a role to play."
President Kagame emphasized the need for Africa to own up to its weaknesses and forge a way forward that ensures Africa becomes an equal partner.
"We need to build our capacities and strengthen our institutions to avoid the over dependency that has been there for too long. We need to own up to our mistakes and weaknesses and contribute to our solutions. We need to tell our own story."
President Kagame concluded his remarks with an emphasis on the need for African nations to work together.
"There is not much time to waste in terms of building consensus and working together so that we partner with others rather than be dependent on them."
The US Africa Business Forum was co hosted by Bloomberg Philanthropies and the U.S. Department of Commerce.
The day focused on key areas including infrastructure, power, agriculture, finance and capital investments and information and communication technologies.
Speakers throughout the day included African business leaders Aliko Dangote, Ashish Thakkar, Strive Masiyiwa as well as US policy makers including National Security Advisor Susan Rice, Secretary of State John Kerry and US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker.
The investment of US businesses in Africa following this conference is expected to total $14 billion in business deals that will benefit both Africa and the US.
Among the issues advocated at the summit, the Obama administration announced efforts to extend the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act set to expire next year for another fifteen years.
The previous day, President Kagame held an interactive discussion at the Aspen Institute in Colorado, on Rwanda's journey of transformation.
Speaking to a gathering of leaders and members of the Aspen Institute, President Kagame shared Rwanda's progress and challenges.
President Kagame pointed to the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi as a lesson for all Rwandans:
"We came out determined and committed to reverse the situation. We looked each other in the eyes and asked one thing: who benefitted from Genocide? Not one single person or family benefitted from the Genocide. We could choose to work towards a common good or the common destruction that we had already experienced."
Speaking on the reconstruction process that followed the Genocide, President Kagame emphasized the importance of resilience:
"For us, the question was what happens if we fail to achieve? There was no alternative. What Rwandans have achieved is because of the resilience of the people. Other people can help but no one will carry our burden for us."
The interactive session brought together members of the Aspen Institute and was moderated by Elliot Gerson, the executive vice president of the Aspen Institute who defined Rwanda as "a country of progress born out of suffering."
Elliot Gerson pointed to the 90% of children currently in school in Rwanda, the fastest growth rate in Africa and the growth in life expectancy by 20 years as some of Rwanda's accomplishments.
On the issue of women empowerment, President Kagame explained that the choice of empowering women is "simply common sense."
The Aspen Institute is an educational and policy studies organization with a mission to foster leadership based on enduring values and to provide a nonpartisan venue for dealing with critical issues. The conversation was attended by policy makers and various leaders including Madeleine Albright, former United States Secretary of State and Governor John Hickenlooper of Colorado.
President Kagame ended the day in Aspen with a dinner hosted by Marc Holtzman, Chairman of Meridian Capital and Samuel Robson Walton, Chairman of Walmart. The dinner brought together leader in the business community for an interactive discussion on Rwanda today and existing opportunities.

London based punk outfit Cross Wires released their 3rd EP, Dark Water late last year, and It's something you definitely need to check out. In a musical era that's headed by the pitch-perfect, auto-tuned pop artists, it's an appetizingly rough and patchy EP with a domineering confidence to it.
This very short EP packs a charismatic punch. The opening track, Central Sea, is a solid introduction to the bands style. Displaying a creative experimentation of sounds and styles as it parades through strong and pushy drum beat which acts as a drum roll for a catchy and passionate vocal attack, backed up by echoey, sci-fi-esque backing vocals before drawing the curtain with a very, different, almost spacey guitar riff.
It almost seems as though Cross Wires are finding their feet in their musical career – Trying out different tones, styles and effects. Brilliantly for them… It's all working.
Without doubt the best song on the EP comes in the form of 'From The Bowery To Bethnal Green'. The almost amateur-esque sounding vocals work on so many levels for this band. As a punk band, they are fittingly raged, yet with regards to the exterior sound of the band as a whole, they provide a relevantly outside-the-box sound.
The concluding track, 'Never Look The Other Way' is an up-beat sounding, however vocally cheerless piece. Professing a straight-up punk style, they tunefully play through 3 minutes of wonderfully old-school sounding music. Listening to this EP very much reminds me of being a young boy, discovering my first punk record. It offers up a delicate and interesting introduction to the broad genre.
Kind of like what Bullet For My Valentine did with metal, before they went all Linkin Park on us…

"I loved the idea of individual servings, ready in the freezer to pull out for a meal. I'll use that concept for other frozen fruit salads I make. So easy to serve! However, I was not all that excited about the marshmallows and the jellied cranberry sauce in this particular recipe. The textures didn't seem right to me. If I were to make this again, I would cut the marshmallows in smaller pieces and would try some other form of cranberry."

Alvarez homer lifts Pirates past Nationals
The Pirates always have wanted Pedro Alvarez to be their cleanup hitter. They've spent the past four seasons waiting for him to settle into the role.
Manager Clint Hurdle finally ran out of patience.
On Friday, Hurdle dropped Alvarez to sixth in the batting order and placed Ike Davis into the No. 4 spot. The move paid immediate dividends.
Davis went 2 for 4 with two runs scored and Alvarez clubbed a two-run homer as the Pirates hung on to beat the Washington Nationals, 4-3.
"You believe in your guys," Hurdle said. "A manager likes to think that sometimes he has a good feel for his guys. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. But I believed in the moves we made."
Right-hander Charlie Morton (1-6) got his first victory in 10 starts this season. Jason Grilli, activated off the disabled list before the game, survived a 23-pitch ninth inning to notch his fifth save.
"My confidence was good. My fastball was live," Grilli said. "I'm ready to get back to doing this again."
It was just the second time in 30 games since being traded to the Pirates that Davis hit cleanup. Alvarez, who lugged a .212 average into the game, was dropped sixth for the first time this season.
"It's to provide more consistency through the lineup," Hurdle said. "I'm not even looking for power. I'm looking for the quality of the at-bat, moving the chains and getting the bat on down the line."
Over 42 games in the fourth spot, Alvarez drove in 24 runs — but 15 came via homers. He stranded 100 runners.
Alvarez's descent in the batting order doesn't figure to be a one-time event. Hurdle has been plotting it for some time and talked to Alvarez about it a few days ago when the team was on the road.
When he hits sixth, Alvarez has a career .250 average and .784 on-base plus slugging percentage. In the four hole, where he usually batted while with the New York Mets, Davis has a .240 average and an .806 OPS.
"Hitting cleanup is not a new situation for Ike," Hurdle said. "Pedro has shown some historical success hitting sixth. So we'll see how it goes."
It went well Friday, helping the Pirates score four runs off right-hander Jordan Zimmermann (3-2).
Davis led off the second inning with a single. Russell Martin, in his first at-bat since coming off the disabled list, lashed a double to left field.
Alvarez struck out looking at an 86 mph fastball on the outer edge of the strike zone — a close call.
Starling Marte's grounder scored Davis and moved Martin to third base. With Clint Barmes at the plate, Martin scored on a wild pitch to make it 2-0.
In the fourth, Davis slapped another leadoff single. With one out, Alvarez crushed a 1-0 changeup and planted the ball among the shrubbery at the base of the center field batter's eye.
"If I could take one pitch, (it would be) the changeup to Alvarez and we win the game 3-2," Zimmermann said. "I left it up, and he put a pretty good swing on it. If I get it down and away, where I wanted it, he rolls over on it and it's a double play."
It was Alvarez's ninth homer — his first since May 5.
That was enough support for Morton to claim his first victory since Sept. 2, 2013. Morton worked 5 2⁄3 innings and allowed a run on five hits, walked four and struck out four.
As usual, Morton began the game firing mostly four- and two-seam fastballs. The sinker netted two quick ground outs, then got finicky on him and led to a pair of walks. Morton got out of the jam by getting Ian Desmond to bounce out to short.
The curveball started to come into play in the second inning when Zach Walters was frozen by a beautiful bender that caught the outside corner for strike three. Morton walked Nate McLouth, but that was merely two-out caution with the pitcher on deck.
Morton put at least one runner on base in every inning but was able to avoid big trouble until the sixth.
Jayson Werth and Wilson Ramos singled. Morton hit Desmond in the back with a two-seamer. Greg Dobbs' sacrifice fly made it 4-1.
After he struck out Walters, Morton was replaced by Jared Hughes. McLouth's sharp bouncer was snagged by Davis, which ended the inning.

"Scott Pilgrim vs The World" Premieres in London
The folks over in the UK have been waiting patiently and finally today (August 18) "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" held its London premiere.
Anna Kendrick, Michael Cera, Jason Schwartzman and Mary Elizabeth Winstead all showed up at the Empire Leicester Square for the big event, showing some love to their fans before heading inside.
In a recent interview, Michael talked about how much he enjoyed working with writer/director Edgar Wright on the film.
"[It was] really amazing. It was different from anything I had ever done. It was a different actor-director relationship as far as what he was asking of people, because he knew what he wanted and knew exactly what he was making. But at the same time I always felt like I had ownership of the character. His choices in shot design and look of the film works really well."

There is a rather large building less than a 1/4 mile from my place of work. Before Christmas there was a new 10 foot fence and a sign that said, "In case of emergency, call Kimber: 914........"
Kimber is in a very old section of Yonkers. They originally occupied one very old (on the outside) building. On the inside it seemed fairly modern. Over the years they've added space by renting nearby buildings. Moving to this very large single plant is a sensible idea. But it is almost 9 months. This seems way too slow.

Stocks Finish Higher
The major stock indexes gained ground in the final hour of trading Monday, closing at or near session highs, as investors weighed merger news and another positive reading on the economy. Treasury yields drifted higher on top of Friday's spike on the robust employment news.
The Dow Jones industrial average added 87.78 points, or 0.84%, to 10,558.37. The broader Standard & Poor's 500-stock index gained 8.73 points, or 0.76%, to 1,145.34. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index rose 21.95 points, or 1.07%, to 2,079.12.
After Friday's employment bombshell, another closely-watched economic report released Monday pointed to additional strength. The Institute for Supply Management's reading on the services sector for March came in very strong at 65.8, vs. a median estimate and prior showing of 60.8.
Overall, the report was far better than expected, with orders holding up very well, says economic research group Informa Global Markets. The prices component of the report hints at companies' continued need to contain costs (mostly labor) to offset the squeeze from inputs, notes Informa. The employment gain, though now dated, agrees with the hefty rise in service sector jobs reported for March.
However, attention is shifting from economic optimism following Friday's jobs report to the possibility of an interest rate increase coming sooner than expected, according to Standard & Poor's MarketScope.
The rest of the week is fairly quiet for economic reports, and both the equity and bond markets will be closed Friday in observance of Good Friday.
On the earnings front, Alcoa (AA ) will report quarterly results Tuesday, followed by Yahoo (YHOO ) on Wednesday. Overall, first-quarter profits for the big cap 500 companies are seen up 17% year-over-year, according to Informa Global Markets. Better pricing power, stronger global demand, and low financing rates are all supporting strong corporate earnings - the latter a key driver for capital expenditures and ultimately jobs, notes Informa.
Among stocks on the move Monday, sectors that are sensitive to interest rates were down, including homebuilders, thrifts and mortgage, banks, and real estate.
In merger news, J.C. Penney (JCP ) says it sold its Eckerd drugstores in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic states for $2.375 billion to the Jean Coutu Group. CVS (CVS ) will acquire the Eckerd drugstores in the South and Eckerd's pharmacy benefits management and mail order business for $2.15 billion.
WellChoice (WC ) is negotiating to buy Oxford Health Plans (OHP ) in an all-stock deal, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Cigna (CI ) shares shot up after the company raised its earnings outlook. It sees $1.75 to $1.95 first-quarter earnings per share from continuing operations due to stronger than anticipated performance from its health care business.
Siebel Systems (SEBL ) expects first-quarter EPS of 5 cents to 6 cents, vs. prior guidance of 4 cents to 5 cents, on total revenue of $329 million, which is near the high-end of its previously announced estimate range of $315 million to $335 million.
Nortel Networks (NT ) announced a formal investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission into the company's previous restatement of its financial results for certain periods, as announced in October, 2003, and its announcements in March, 2004, regarding the likely need to further revise certain previously announced results and restate previously filed financial results for one or more earlier periods.
Treasury Market
Treasuries finished lower in price Monday. While flows were not robust, they were slanted to the sellside, so Treasuries took another pounding with mortgage related and technical selling the main impetus, says Informa Global Markets. The strength reported in non-manufacturing ISM, the increase in the employment component in particular, sent Treasuries lower during the morning session. Prices continued to fall during the afternoon, pushing the yield on the 10-year note up to 4.21%.
World Markets
European stock markets finished higher on Monday. London's Financial Times-Stock Exchange 100 index was up 15.1 points, or 0.34%, to 4,480.7.
Germany's DAX index gained 41 points, or 1.02%, to 4,048.6. In Paris, the CAC 40 index rose 41.29 points, or 1.1%, to 3,781.2.
Asian markets finished higher. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 index jumped 142.37, or 1.2%, to 11,958.32 on the heels of Friday's U.S. employment report. In Hong Kong, the market was closed in honor of the Ching Ming festival.

In honor of today's opening of the FIFA World Cup in South Africa, here's an interesting tidbit about French chemical company Arkema joining big electronics manufacturer Sony in creating a unique soccer ball that will be distributed by NGOs for African children.
The soccer ball called "Join the Team" is partially made from Arkema's castor oil-based thermoplastic elastomer Pebax® Rnew found in one of the ball's dual layered surface. The ball is said to have 1.6x higher durability than conventional soccer balls.
This football donation program is part of a wider project called "Earth FC" which aims to draw the attention of the international community to the major health challenges facing Africa such as the spread of AIDS.
Not only is it green in a material sense but green as well in social aspect. Now that's sustainability!

After hearing that Microsoft will discontinue the xbox 360 in Japan, I had to write over why the 360 has failed in Japan. It would seem simple to most people, the 360 isn't the preferred console for the Japanese market. The 360 does carter for FPS shooters or action games, while most Japanese gamers would rater play RPG's. The East and the West has always been different, whether it be in society or the games that we like. Still, the 360's performance in Japan is quite frankly abysmal. The 360 has only sold 1.5 million copies in Japan alone. Such a failure probably has a number of reasons why this would occur. It would seem that Microsoft has also abandoned the Japanese market. This may be a sign that the 360 won't be as popular when we get to the next generation of console's. The future may be troubling for the 360, as Sony may take the upper hand in the future. Either way, this story brings up a number of questions that I'd like to answer.
Why the Xbox360 failed in Japan
Difference in culture, difference in video games
A Game like Tales of Vesperia was made for Japan
Most people would bring up the fact that Japan and the U.S. have different market's for their video games. Both exclusive games for either country fail when they're sold in both regions. JRPG's are usually only successful for the niche market, while FPS shooters aren't that successful in Japan. While most would say that Microsoft has ignored the differences in video games, but that would be false. Microsoft did make exclusive Japanese oriented games for Japan. JRPG's like Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, and Tales of Vesperia were clearly made for Japan. Unfortunately neither game had the amount of success that Microsoft would want to support in the future. Microsoft has tried to cater towards Japan, but ti's clear that the 360 would fail from the start. I wonder why Microsoft hasn't discontinued the 360 in Japan sooner. It seemed like a failure from the start, but it's admirable that Microsoft stuck with Japan for 6 years. Now that the Japanese market is gone, JRPG's may be a thing of the past for the 360. It's a shame, but Japan has no interest in ever purchasing an Xbox 360.
Microsoft's hardware problems
The RROD made it clear that Microsoft was awful at building consoles. This may have been the nail on the coffin in Japan.
Microsoft's failure in Japan may have started and ended when the RROD was rampant in nearly every 360. This hurt the 360's hardware rust and created animosity between Microsoft and it's costumers. Japan was the last market that Microsoft would care about, so the addition of RROd probably ended any relevant success in Japan. It seems clear the Japan hasn't forgotten about the 360's faulty hardware, so this may be a big factor for the 360's failure. Most of us were burned by RROD's but we struggled onward since the PS3 had a terrible release lineup and most of us were tired of the Wii. Japan which already prefers Japanese only products may have already ignored the 360 after it's early failures.
Japan's preference for Japanese products.
Sony may finally gain the lead over the Xbox 360.
Japan has always preferred Japanese products including video game consoles. With the 360 being an American product, it would seem clear that Japan doesn't have any real interest in the 360. It's low sales would prove that statement, as well as Sony and Nintendo's success in Japan. Factors would include famous Japanese franchises, Japanese companies, and the interest of Japan's market. The 360 has always been an outsider in Japan, even it's most famous titles like Halo are irrelevant in Japan. It seems that Microsoft won't make the same mistake twice in Japan. It isn't the end of the world for Microsoft, but it shows that the Xbox brand isn't as powerful as Microsoft would have hoped.
The future of the 360 without Japan
This announcement has shown a strong concern over Microsoft's 360. Some may say that it was a losing battle from the start. It is still a big concern over the future between Microsoft and Japan. Microsoft has had enough games for Japan to warrant success, but it has failed. Cultural differences aside, I would have liked for the 360 to find success in a big market like Japan. The 360 still has success in Europe and North America, so it'll still be relevant as time goes on. The next console irritation may completely ignore the Japanese market, so this'll be a clear opening for Sony to take advantage of. Nintendo and Sony will continue to have success in Japan, while Microsoft continues to have conflicts with Japan. A number of reasons are prevalent as to why Japan has given up on Microsoft, some cultural and others that are common sense. It'll be interesting to see what happens after this announcement and beyond. It may be a sign of failure for Microsoft or a smart decision to pull out of a losing fight. I'll say the latter, this is troubling for Microsoft, but North America is strong enough to support the 360 and it's next iteration.

Mitt Romney cancelled on Barbara Walters The View but sent in pinch hitter wife Ann Romney to tackle questions from Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg. She's learned how to dance around hot button topics as you can see in the clip below.
Mitt Romney was schedule to take on Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg and Elisabeth Hasselbeck the wake of Mother Jones releasing a tape of Romney at a private fundraiser in May saying that, among the TV talk shows he would avoid during the campaign, The View is "high-risk because, of the five women on it, only one is conservative, and four are sharp-tongued and not conservative." Then he quickly cancelled over the weekend which just doesn't look so good, but he sent in wife Ann Romney to pinch hit for him.
She informed the women that if her husband doesn't beat Barack Obama in the 2012 Presidential Election, this will be the end of politics for them. When Joy Behar pressed her on one area, she quickly said that they would have to get Mitt on the couch...not realizing the irony that she was sitting where he was supposed to.
There's one more debate left for Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, but in the meantime you can check out Ann filling in and see what you think.

Piano Luminaries, from Art Tatum to Jeremy Denk
So much of what brings a piece of music to life has to do with its performer. Although nearly all of the composers featured regularly on Hammered! benefit from excellent performer-advocates, the programmatic arch of each week is normally determined by the composer and music itself.
This week though, we turn our thematic priorities upside down and concern ourselves exclusively with the art of performing (though, obviously there are no dogs in the repertoire selections either). Each hour we feature a handful of performances from the music world's most indubitably brilliant pianists in a huge variety of modern repertoire.
We have legends from all eras, like Sviatoslav Richter, John Browning, Art Tatum, and early recordings of Leon Fleisher, and also some lesser-known but absolutely essential players, like Robert Helps, Aleck Karis, Alan Feinberg, Sergei Babayan, and others.
There's also a solid NYC-based contingent, of course. We hear from Marilyn Nonken, Stephen Gosling, Jeremy Denk, Gil Kalish, and legends like David Tudor, Paul Jacobs, and Ursula Oppens.
The composers features aren't so bad either: works by Jason Eckhardt, Olivier Messiaen, Elliott Carter, Eziquiel Vinao, Witold Lutoslawski, Aaron Copland, Harrison Birtwistle, and pianist-composers Frederic Rzewski, Hans Ott, and Thomas Ades.

By NAOMI SNYDERStaff WriterWOOSTER Corporate Quest has found a new market for its personal challenge courses by melding business with religion and education.According to Corporate Quest partner and Chief Executive Officer Ron Kaminski, the business improves "human performance" by forcing people out of their comfort zones."We provide our clients with a safe environment to interact, communicate and test limits," Kaminski said.Corporate Quest does this with adventure team challenges that fuel creative problem solving, high ropes experiences that promote self-discovery and team growth, and outdoor pursuits that encourage team members to integrate individual efforts to meet group goals.The business's most recent outdoor pursuit was a weeklong hike for the Ashland Theological Seminary in the mountains of West Virginia.The director of the Doctor of Ministry program at the seminary, Elaine Heath, said she used the experience as the first class for students embarking on spiritual formation and women in prophetic leadership programs."It's a brand new class, and we were pioneering the whole thing because my husband and I are outdoors people, and I have believed for a long time that a class like this could be really powerful for students trying to cultivate what a community really is," Heath said. "We were put into the wilderness and had to survive, literally. We had to make sure the water was drinkable and the bears were kept away you quickly learn the value of community."Corporate Quest provided the group with backpacks, water purifiers and camping equipment, plus an adventure leader."We hired as a facilitator a Lutheran minister, who is also a wilderness guide," Kaminski said. "It was a perfect combination for what the group was looking for."Heath said the natural environment allowed her class a deep spiritual connection with their surroundings and each other."We could be away from distractions of telephones and computer and focus on prayer and holiness and the beauty of creation," Heath said.Heath said the adventure also allowed her to connect with her students on an entirely different level."They saw me as someone going on a journey with them, instead of someone who just stands in front of them," Heath said.Kaminski said the new relationships are one of the most valuable aspects of the service the business offers."You see the benefits of allowing people to communicate on a human level," Kaminski said. "We partner with our clients and consistently create positive, measurable impacts."Students took a journal along on the excursion, evaluating how they handled each situation that arose."We cannot improve ourselves until we self-evaluate," Kaminski said. "Based on the outcome of their experiences, we help them transfer that back to a daily basis. Experience is great, but without transfer, it won't have any lasting effects."Business Editor and health reporter Naomi Snyder can be reached at (330) 287-1623 or e-mail email@example.com.

The Grauer School is an independent college preparatory school in Encinitas, CA, serving Northern San Diego and surroundings, close to the communities of Carlsbad, La Costa, Del Mar, Solana Beach, and Rancho Santa Fe. We offer rigorous academics, enriching arts and athletics, and unparalleled leadership opportunities – all in a trusting and socially inclusive environment. There is no other private school like it in San Diego.
Take a closer look. In person. Visit Grauer
School Overview
The Grauer School, one of San Diego's premier prep schools, was founded in 1991 by Dr. Stuart Grauer. Our students have matriculated to the nation's finest colleges and universities. Our campus and diverse programs accommodate approximately 150 students in grades seven through 12.
Imagine your child in the front row of every class. The Grauer School is a leader in the nation's highly regarded "Small Schools" movement, which allows for the individualized attention that has been largely lost in other middle and high schools. Backed by many years of research, families in schools with fewer than 200 students find that students thrive because they are better able to connect with each other and with their teachers.
Students spend their days in a Socratic environment on our green, five-acre campus in Encinitas, CA – school is in session from late August through mid-June.
The Grauer School strongly believes that secondary education is not a means to an end. We want our students to try classes for fun, make mistakes, follow a passion, and do things that they are drawn to rather than plotting out a preordained path. We believe they will achieve more enduring outcomes in this way, including getting into the most appropriate colleges. To balance this, our program normally entails completing the "a-g" admission requirements of the University of California, and provides enrichment well beyond typical academic standards. All courses, including academics and electives, are approved by the University of California and meet criteria for NCAA eligibility. We are fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

Students spend a minimum of one week each semester on one of our global Expeditions, learning about different cultures and customs. Each is required to complete 50 hours of community service, and a total of five weeks of Expeditions before graduating. Most students complete more of both.
