Cambridge, MA — A foreign correspondent, an opinion editor, and a political communications scholar are among the Fellows at the John F. Kennedy School's Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy for the spring 2005 semester.
"The range of Shorenstein Fellows this semester goes from a celebrated war correspondent and distinguished political columnists to experts in emerging media technology, voting behavior, and telecommunications policy. It is, as usual, a very rich brew," said Alex S. Jones, the Center's director.
The 2005 Spring Fellows are:
Doug Ahlers is the co-founder of Modem Media, an interactive advertising and marketing agency. He has been involved in the development and deployment of online services from the first experiments with interactive technology through the explosion of the Internet as a mass medium. Mr. Ahlers built the first commercial website on the Internet and created the first banner ad to appear on the Internet. Through his work at Modem Media, Ahlers created comprehensive Internet strategies for Fortune 500 companies. Modem Media subsidiary Poppe Tyson created the first website for the White House. He received his master's degree in journalism at Louisiana State University in 1983. He is currently working on a book that examines the societal and political impact of new technologies.
Julia Baird is the opinion editor at the Sydney Morning Herald. She writes a weekly column on a range of topics including politics, religion, celebrity, pop culture, and feminism. She earned her Ph.D. in history from the University of Sydney in 2001. The subject of her research was "Housewife Superstars: Female politicians and the Australian Print Media 1970-1990." Her book on this subject was published in 2004. She has also worked in radio and has produced documentaries on subjects as diverse as Satanism, heavy metal, and being brought up by nuns in the 1950s. Her research at the Shorenstein Center will focus on the globalization of American opinion in the lead up to the Iraq war, particularly in the major cities of allies such as Britain and Australia.
Hans Mathias Kepplinger is professor in communications at the University of Maine. He earned his Ph. D. in political science in 1970. His most recent book, "Farewell to the Rational Voter," looks at the effects of television on the images of politicians and their impact upon voting behavior. In "Mechanisms Steering Scandals" he analyzes the role of the media in political and environmental scandals. He is author or co-author of 26 books and of articles that have appeared in Public Opinion Quarterly, Communication Research, Journal of Communication, Political Communication, Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media. Professor Kepplinger's research will focus on the reciprocal effect of mass media on politicians.
David Rohde is a foreign correspondent for The New York Times. For the last two and a half years, he has covered Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh as the newspaper's South Asia Bureau Co-Chief. He has also reported on war in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, fraud in the 2000 Florida presidential election, and New York City's criminal court system. In 1994 and 1995, he covered the war in Bosnia for The Christian Science Monitor and was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for his stories on the massacre of 7,000 Bosnian Muslims in the town of Srebrenica. Rohde is the author of the book "Endgame: The Betrayal and Fall of Srebrenica." He is a graduate of Brown University. While at the Shorenstein Center, Rohde will examine American efforts to introduce free media in Muslim countries to help counter the spread of Islamic fundamentalism.

He was educated at York University, Toronto (B.A. and Ph.D.) and the University of Manchester, England (M.A.). He is the author or co-editor of eight books, the most recent "Changing the Rules: Canadian Regulatory Regimes and Institutions" and more than fifty articles and book chapters. He is currently writing a book entitled "Contested Networks: The Politics of Canadian Telecommunications 1976-1993." Schultz's work at the Shorenstein Center will focus on the policy issues arising from the linkages between media concentration and cross-ownership and possible public policy responses.
Walter Shapiro has covered the last seven presidential campaigns as a newspaper columnist and a news magazine writer. He is the author of "One-Car Caravan: On the Road with the 2004 Democrats Before America Tunes In." Shapiro just completed a nine-year stint as the twice-weekly political columnist for USA Today. From 1993-96, he wrote a monthly column on the Clinton administration for Esquire magazine. He covered the 1988 and 1992 elections as a senior writer for Time and the 1984 race for Newsweek.

Regulators Question Underwater Cables At Vermont Yankee
07/01/10 5:51PM By John Dillon
| Download MP3
(Host) Federal inspectors have called attention to a new potential safety problem at Vermont Yankee.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says the plant has electric cables that are frequently submerged in water. That raises the possibility they could short-circuit and disable safety systems.
VPR's John Dillon has more:
(Dillon) The NRC flagged the issue of the electric cables in a May 10 inspection report. The document says Entergy Vermont Yankee has allowed cables that control safety systems to be continually submerged in underground trenches.
The problem is the cables are not designed to be soaked in water. The NRC said this could cause the cables to degrade and fail. The report said - quote - "this finding is more than minor because if left uncorrected, the performance deficiency has the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern."
(Blanch) "To me this is potentially one of the more serious issues that I've seen."
(Dillon) Paul Blanch is an electrical engineer with 45 years experience in the nuclear industry. Blanch is now an expert consultant for the New England Coalition, an anti-nuclear group.
(Blanch) "Failures of electrical wires or cables could result in the failure of many safety systems."
(Dillon) These safety systems include emergency generators or plant controls, says Ray Shadis, a technical advisor to the New England Coalition. Shadis says the problem is getting attention inside the nuclear industry. Recent studies by the Electric Power Research Institute - an industry group - have focused on aging electric systems in nuclear plants.
(Shadis) "They are recommending as a first step that ... nuclear industries examine each plant site to find out how many cables could possibly be affected by wetness or submergence."
(Dillon) At Vermont Yankee, technicians have drained the manholes that contained the submerged cables. Larry Smith is a plant spokesman. He said Vermont Yankee has 81 manholes with electric cables; 21 of those had water in them.
(Smith) "So we're doing periodic pumping and monitoring and Entergy has a fleet initiative to work on submerged cables. And it's called the 'cable reliability program,' and it's going to include state of the art testing on safety related cables so we can get aggressive."
(Dillon) Ray Shadis, the coalition's technical advisor, says his organization wants to use the cable issue as argument against Yankee's request for a new 20-year operating license. He says the old cables need to be inspected, especially now that it's known that they could be weakened by exposure to water.
(Shadis) "It is our position that all safety related cables should be reviewed for aging management and that it was not done."
(Dillon) The NRC also wants Yankee to go back and examine the cables to see if they can be safely used operated underwater.For VPR News, I'm John Dillon in Montpelier.

"This was perfect for my daughter's baby shower. It was classy and a little girly just like we wanted. We are very happy with the results."
"This invitation was beautifully done. It's exactly what we wanted. The colors are soft. We like that you can chose the style and size of the print. We needed to add a line and customer service was prompt in assisting us. We were pleasantly surprised at how quickly we received the invitations!"
"I love elephants so this baby shower invitation was a perfect find! The pink background and white polka dots are very feminine."
"this card is so cute! I just love the design and the printing quality is great. The only struggle I had, was that It didnt have a space for the "registered at" information. I had to work around it and it ended up being a tiny squeezed, but I'm still happy with the results."
"These invites were perfect for our woodland themed baby shower. We chose the matte finish and they had the perfect touch of vintage meets woodland creature keeping with our theme."

NBA Cracks Down On Flopping: Good Or Bad?
The NBA has established a policy to crack down on "flopping" in the league, which will penalize players through fines (and possibly suspensions) for essentially poor acting and faking that has been called, "something that has no place in our game" by commissioner David Stern. Do you agree or disagree with this new policy?

When we last left the story of Matthew and Betty it was October 2012. The 20-something couple was making long-distance work. The distance between his home in North Dakota and where she and her daughter lived in Oregon was 1500 miles, but through return visits and the use of Skype, they were making it work.
Today, Matthew and Betty have gotten married, but it didn't come without some significant bumps in the road.
In January 2013, Betty and her daughter went to North Dakota to spend a month with Matthew and his family. "Towards the end of the visit we ended up coming to a conclusion that the relationship might not work out," Betty admitted.
"When I arrived home, Matthew and I continued our long-distance relationship via phone and enjoyed praying the Rosary with each other, but there was one night where we thanked each other for the time we had put into our relationship, cried our eyes out while praying and said our goodbyes." It seemed as though that was where things would end--on a gracious, yet sad note.
But it wasn't the end. They stayed in touch and openly communicated some of the concerns they each had, and in May of 2013, Matthew made a surprise visit to Oregon, roses in tow and a big smile on this face.
"We enjoyed an amazing weekend together with my family and we both prayed and grew closer together with communication and trust," Betty recalled. One month later she went to North Dakota. They didn't feel ready to get engaged, but they wanted to make a bold move forward and the 1500-mile gap was just too big. Betty decided to pack herself and her daughter up, and she signed a one-year lease on a house near Matthew.
Matthew came to Oregon to help her move, and the road trip together brought all them--including Betty's daughter Kaylee--closer together still. "Matthew of course did not move in, as he lived with friends, and we decided that moving in with each other wouldn't help our relationship in the long run," Betty said.
Since Matthew and Betty lived closer together, they were able to build their relationship and work out previous issues. On Christmas morning, he proposed marriage. "It was beautiful," Betty said enthusiastically. "After he asked me to spend the rest of my life with him, he asked Kaylee to be his daughter and she said yes too!" A double proposal and acceptance brought warmth across the wintry landscape of North Dakota.
They returned to Oregon this summer for the wedding and were married on June 28. "God has truly blessed our lives with each other and it is amazing to see the grace that he gives us," Betty said. "Trust in the Lord and patience brings a beautiful mystery of joy and true happiness."
When Matthew and Betty first started exchanging messages on CatholicMatch back in 2012, she messaged him a simple three-word lament--"So Far Away." Those words were the obstacle that was in their path, an obstacle that appeared to have won a temporary victory, but ended up being what this couple conquered on the road to their happiness.
Now Matthew and Betty are praying in the hopes that God will bless their union with children, and they aren't the only ones praying--"Kaylee is looking forward to being a big sister!"

Start-up idle issues
Did a lot of searching and could not find a fix for my idle issue.
It only occurs at start-up only, but randomly, regardless if the engine is warm or not.
At startup, this is what happens:
-Engine will not start
-Push on the gas while turning the key & engine will startup, but idle rough feeling like its running on half the cylinders. A srong smell of gas comes out of the tial pipe as well.
-Push on the gas again for a second, the engine reves up to 1500 rpm's and the idle corrects itself and runs smooth with no further issues.
I am thinking it is not a lack of gas, or spark, rather an issue of air at start-up. I have a hunch its the ICV or Throttle position sensor on the throttle body.
I have already done my Vanos, CCV upgrade, fuel filter, spark plugs, cleaned my MAF, DISA & ICV. I have a 117K on the car.
Anyone have any ideas on how to trouble shoot to determine what is causing the porblem?
Thanks you all in advance for your input!
Just a suggestion but it sounds as if one of you vacuum lines from your secondary air pump has a vacuum leak or is crimped. Just my two and a half cents worth...
Thank you Zchild. I will take a look at that tonight and double check.
any other ideas?
Is the CEL on? Does it do it only on initial startup, or will it act up when you're idleing at a light?
If it was your ICV, it would probably act up all the time, and not clear up after a minute or two. That makes me think it's a sensor problem. If you can get it scanned, it might show if one of the sensors is out of it's normal parameters.
The CEL have never turned on, even when the engine idles rough at start-up.
It only occurs at start up. Never at a light.
I understand your logic, that it could be a sensor. Throttle position sensor maybe?
By scan, do you mean with my Peake Tool or another tool or maybe at the dealership.
Thank you for your input Drewfus2101.
Not sure if this was said, but did you check your intake boots for cracks? And cleaning your MAF will only help if it functions properly. Once the MAF is bad it needs to be replaced. I always start with the cheapest things first, so check intake boots before anything.
Finally solved.... http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthr...600&highlight=

John Manley, former industry minister, former finance minister, former foreign minister, former deputy prime minister, current chief executive of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, was in Ottawa this week to talk to the annual meeting of the Ottawa Economics Association, a group of 250 strong who heard him give a lunchtime talk at the Chateau Laurier. (You can see his slides at the CCCE's website.)
Manley became finance minister on the fateful Sunday afternoon in 2002 when Paul Martin either quit or got fired. Four days later, after intensive briefing, he found himself chairing a meeting of the G7 finance ministers in Halifax. He told a funny story about the ritual the Finance officials put you through you when you become minister.

Faixa Rua Leve A3 Gi in white. I bought this Gi about 2 weeks ago and have never worn it. It was pretty big when i bought it and i though i'd be able to shrink it to fit. I gave the whole gi a 60 degree wash and the pants fit perfect now but the jacket is still massive in the sleeves even after another 60 degree wash and a 90 degree wash. It doesn't look like it's ever going to shrink to my size so i need to get rid of it to get a gi that actually does fit.
As i said the gi has never been worn, it's only been washed. It cost me £59 so i'd like to get £50 back from it.
As a guide for size i'm 6' and weigh 74kg so if you're a bit taller, heavier or have abnormally large arms for your size then it'll be perfect.

In any case, Toyota is displaying the car at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show and it still looks like the epitome of "green" cars. With a short recharging time (just 1.5 hours) and a potential price tag (after tax incentives) of around $26-$27,000, we think the automaker's goal of selling 16,000 Plug-in Priuses in the U.S. next year will be easily reached. The global sales target is 50,000.
Toyota prepared a lengthy press release about the "greenest, most technically advanced Prius yet," and we've got it available for you after the jump. Yes, we know the release says 134.5 mpg, but those are Imperial gallons. Converting 49 grams of CO2 per kilometer to mpg is where we got the 111.3 mpge. Also, we've got a video of Satoshi Ogiso, the Prius "guru" (aka the senior general manager of Toyota Motor Corporation) talking about the entire Prius Family on the stand after the jump.
• Prius is the world's best selling hybrid – third generation model has already sold more than one million units since launch two years ago
• Toyota plans to launch 10 new hybrids by 2015
• Introducing the Prius family: Prius Plug-in Hybrid, Prius+ and new Prius
Since 1997, Toyota has sold more than 3.3 million full hybrid vehicles worldwide. This represents more than 80 per cent of all global hybrid sales, and gives the company an unquestionable lead in the drive towards sustainable mobility. As concrete proof of HSD's environmental record, these sales have already contributed to a reduction in automotive emissions of about 21 million tonnes of CO2.
Maintaining its environmental and technological leadership for more than a decade, the multiple award-winning Toyota Prius is the world's best-selling hybrid with more than 2.3 million units sold. Prius is more popular than ever, and the third-generation model, launched in 2009, has already sold more than 1 million units.
Hybrid Synergy Drive has been specifically designed to be modular and adaptable to different energy sources. Its application in the new Prius Plug-in Hybrid, and Toyota's ongoing research into Electric Vehicles (EV) and Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicles (FCHV), offers the potential for even greater reductions in vehicle emissions in the immediate future.
Toyota's clear lead in hybrid technology has recently been reinforced by an independent study which finds the company is most widely recognised among consumers as a manufacturer of hybrid and electric vehicles.
In a joint survey by Automotive Business Intelligence company EurotaxGlass's and UK-based marketing and research institute Harris Interactive, 30 per cent of those questioned demonstrated an interest in electric or hybrid vehicles, with Toyota standing out in all markets as the company with the highest brand awareness.
When asked to name an electric or hybrid brand, 15 per cent of survey participants cited Toyota, with only six per cent naming the closest rival hybrid manufacturer. Moreover, Toyota's environmental flagship proves to be the single best-known electric or hybrid model, with 16 per cent of those questioned being aware of Prius, and only six per cent naming the closest rival vehicle.
Reinforcing Toyota's belief in the strong potential of the full hybrid technology, the study finds that European consumers are far more open to alternative powertrains than their current market share might suggest.
Pre-empting this conclusion, the launch of the British-built Auris Hybrid marked the start of a significant expansion in the company's full hybrid model range, which will see the 10 Toyota hybrids introduced by 2015. Toyota aims to offer most of its European models with a Hybrid Synergy Drive powertrain derivative as early as possible in the 2020s.
An important element in this expansion is the positioning of the 2012 Prius as the first full hybrid vehicle to be available as a complete, stand-alone model range: Prius, Prius+ and Prius Plug-in Hybrid. Respective CO2 emissions of 89g/km, 99g/km and a potential 49 g/km* represent unprecedented environmental credentials from an entire model range.
The three models will significantly expand the Prius customer base and subsequent sales; the Prius Plug-in Hybrid appealing to a new group of environmentally conscientious early adopters, and the Prius+ targeting growing European families who require the space and flexibility of a larger, seven-seat vehicle.
• Targeting 49g/km CO2 emissions and 134.5mpg fuel consumption
• Targeting EV driving range of about 14.3 miles
• Battery fully rechargeable in 1.5 hours
Prius Plug-in Hybrid, Toyota's first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) to go on sale to the mass market, makes its production vehicle world debut at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show.
Toyota's focus on PHEV technology meets current consumer requirements. Recent Accenture research, entitled Plug-in electric vehicles: changing perceptions, hedging bets on the electrification of private transport, suggests that consumers may favour PHEVs over full EVs because they require fewer changes to current driving habits and levels of convenience.
The next major milestone in Toyota's ongoing, 40 year quest for sustainable mobility and the ultimate eco car, Prius Plug-in Hybrid represents the latest development of the company's modular Hybrid Synergy Drive platform – credible, trusted and reliable full hybrid technology with a proven track record garnered over more than 200 billion kilometres of driving worldwide.
Offering a considerable expansion of the Hybrid Synergy Drive system's capabilities, Prius Plug-in Hybrid incorporates a lithium-ion battery to offer an EV driving range of approximately 14.3 miles (target figure). Beyond the electric driving range, it can be used as a conventional full hybrid with all the efficiency of a standard Prius, and fully recharged from a domestic source when convenient, in just an hour-and-a-half.
With a total HSD system power output of 134bhp, Prius Plug-in Hybrid will accelerate from nought to 62mph in 10.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 112mph. Its EV cruising range enables it to achieve remarkable fuel efficiency of 134.5mpg and achieve unprecedented CO2 figures of 49g/km (target figures).
Weighing approximately 1,420kg, Prius Plug-in Hybrid is only 50kg heavier than the regular Prius, and no heavier than any comparable diesel or petrol car in its segment.
Prius Plug-in Hybrid addresses the specific needs of drivers commuting to urban areas, and so will appeal to very similar customers to those who were early adopters of the first generation Prius.
Sales will start in early 2012, mainly in Japan, the USA and Europe, with anticipated annual sales of approximately 50,000 units.
Urban powertrain electrification: the case for Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles
It is estimated that the majority of Europeans will live in urban areas by the end of the decade. As a result, the demand for environmentally-efficient commuter vehicles is expected to increase significantly in the coming years. Based on current conditions, industry attention is now focused on electricity as the most practical energy source.
Many EU member states are struggling to achieve the required EU air quality standards, specifically in towns and cities. This has resulted in local government authorities introducing criteria to restrict the entry of specific types of vehicles to city centres. Following a direction recently proposed in the EU Transport White Paper, some cities are going further and considering a ban on conventional vehicles from city centres and the promotion of electric vehicles.
The environmental merits of electric vehicles (EVs) as urban commuters are well proven, but their further development is currently handicapped by a number of factors. On the technical side, inappropriately large, heavy and costly batteries are required to offer a driving range which only satisfies the needs of those with a very specific usage pattern. Perhaps more significantly, from the customer perspective, no adequate recharging infrastructure yet exists, and range anxiety – the driver's concern about how far a vehicle will travel on the level of battery charge available – remains a major issue.
Prius Plug-in Hybrid addresses each of these issues, making it the most feasible short to mid-term solution for powertrain electrification.
Building on the core technology of Toyota's renowned Hybrid Synergy Drive, Prius Plug-in Hybrid sets a new benchmark in environmentally-efficient mobility by giving customers commuting to urban areas the best of both worlds.
It offers an extended, EV driving range, yet it can be driven without any concerns over exceeding the electric power range. At this point, it can be driven as a regular, full hybrid vehicle offering the same environmental credentials and true long-range capability as a standard Prius.
A full hybrid capable of operating in petrol and electric modes alone, the new Prius Plug-in Hybrid rewards customers with stress-free and remarkably quiet operation, while returning unparalleled fuel efficiency and the lowest possible CO2, NOX and PM (Particulate Matter) emissions.
The reduction of CO2 emissions has been a mainstream global issue since the 1990s, and vehicle taxation based on CO2 emissions is now commonplace. However, the focus on curbing CO2 emissions has meant that legislation to limit the pollution of the urban environment through road traffic-generated NOX and PM emissions remains, thus far, significantly less stringent.
Although Euro 6 exhaust emission regulations will bring the diesel engine NOX emission limits closer to those of petrol units (80 versus 60mg/km on the NEDC), Prius Plug-in still generates significantly lower NOX emissions than diesel cars and undercuts the Euro 6 standards by 98 per cent. Moreover, when operating in its extended EV mode, it generates zero CO2, NOX and particulate emissions.
PHEV European Limited Lease Project
Toyota initiated its Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) project in 2007, with road trials of a prototype vehicle in France and the UK in 2008. In 2010, the project entered its second phase when a limited production vehicle, based on the third-generation Prius equipped with a lithium-ion battery, was used for pan-European road trials.
As part of a global Toyota project, 200 vehicles have been leased to selected partners and customers in 18 European countries. France, the UK and Germany are operating150 PHEVs between them, and the largest single group of vehicles is located in Strasbourg, France, where a 70 PHEV-strong project is underway in collaboration with Toyota's partner, French energy provider EDF, and the City and Urban Community of Strasbourg (CUS).
After nearly a year, the PHEVs involved in the project have been intensively driven both in the urban environment and on longer journeys out of the city. With an average yearly mileage of 8,190 miles for each vehicle, project participants have acquired nearly 497,100 miles of PHEV driving experience.
As two thirds of commutes covering a distance of less than 12.5 miles, the PHEV's zero-emissions, fully electric range satisfies a significant share of the users' daily requirements. More than a third of users also completed long distance trips of more than 62 miles at least once a week; the PHEV's ability to operate as a full hybrid eliminates the range anxiety associated with making journeys of this length in a fully electric vehicle.
Fuel efficiency figures obtained under real-world conditions show that the PHEV consumes 36 per cent less fuel than the comparable, best-in-class diesel vehicle and almost 50 per cent less than the best-in-class petrol vehicle. Users that maximised the potential of the PHEV and made optimal use of the existing recharging infrastructure were able to return average fuel consumption figures of more than 141mpg.
New Prius Plug-in Hybrid, the Hybrid Synergy Drive Technology Flagship
The wealth of real-world user feedback generated by the global limited lease projects has enabled Toyota to re-evaluate every aspect of Prius Plug-in Hybrid's performance. As a result, the production vehicle benefits not only from several key technological improvements over its lease project counterpart, but also considerable improvements to its everyday practicality and usability.
Prius Plug-in Hybrid features a new lithium-ion battery with a high capacity of 4.4kWh and a weight of only 80kg. This compares favourably to the nickel-metal hydride battery of the latest generation Prius, which has a capacity of 1.3kWh and weighs 42kg.
Using a battery charger inlet now relocated beneath a discreet, flush-mounted panel in the production vehicle's right-hand rear wing, the battery pack can be fully recharged in 1.5 hours from a standard, 230V household outlet, with no need for an expensive fast-charger.
Driving Modes
Prius Plug-in Hybrid offers the driver three switchable, 'on-demand' drive modes: HV, EV and EV-City.
With HV mode selected, Prius Plug-in Hybrid functions like a standard Prius. It delivers the classic, highly efficient Toyota HSD driving experience, seamlessly engaging the petrol engine as appropriate. The vehicle's switchable EV mode range is preserved for use in urban environments.
With EV mode selected, Prius Plug-in Hybrid is able to draw upon the full capacity of the battery and will remain in electric drive mode, allowing for urban driving with minimal noise and zero CO2 and NOX emissions, for up to approximately 14.5 miles at speeds of up to 53mph.
The petrol engine will still start if the system judges that additional power is necessary, however the use of light to medium throttle inputs keeps it switched off throughout EV mode operation.
With EV-City mode selected, the Prius Plug-in Hybrid matches the EV mode's characteristics. Increased electric operation is ensured by allowing more forceful use of the throttle before the petrol engine kicks in.
Switched separately, ECO mode may be independently activated when the Prius Plug-in Hybrid is operating in HV, EV or EV-City modes. In any drive mode, throttle response to accelerator pedal inputs is reduced and air-conditioning control adjusted for improved fuel economy. Depending on driving conditions, ECO mode can help drivers achieve a perceptible reduction in fuel consumption.
Exclusive design with practical and technologically advanced interior
In recognition of its status as the next generation eco car from the Toyota hybrid stable, several subtle exterior detail changes differentiate Prius Plug-in Hybrid from the standard Prius.
The front of the car features an exclusive grille and front bumper design. To the rear, a clear lens combination lamp design further differentiates the new vehicle from the standard Prius. A high-brightness silver finish has been adopted for the door handles, licence plate trim and battery charger lid, and the vehicle features Plug-in Hybrid badging on the front wings and tailgate.
Following lease customer feedback, the battery charger inlet has been relocated from the left front wing to a discreet, flush-mounted panel in the right-hand rear wing. Every aspect of the charging operation itself has also been reconsidered.
The Charge Circuit Interface Device (CCID) has been made more compact, and a 25 per cent lighter, more flexible charging cable that does not stiffen in cold weather has been developed. The battery charger lid has been incorporated into the cover for easier, single-operation closing, and it now features a battery charger indicator and LED illumination for better night-time visibility. As an additional safety measure, Prius Plug-in Hybrid cannot be started when the charging cable is connected.
On board, the quality of the interior has been raised through a new colour scheme with silver inserts, a revised centre console design, and an improved multi-information display with improved EV driving support meter functions.
The air conditioning is coordinated with the standard front seat heaters. This enables the system to reach a comfortable temperature for the driver and passenger more quickly and efficiently, further improving the vehicle's fuel efficiency.
The installation of the new, more compact lithium-ion battery has allowed for a loadspace deck that is on a par with the standard Prius, and a luggage capacity of 443 litres. Under-boot storage of 40.5 litres means there is ample space to store the charging cable beneath the loadspace floor.
Advanced and affordable multimedia systems
Reflecting today's highly connected society, on-board multimedia systems are in increasing demand. Placing a particularly high value on touch-screen operation, customers require a system which gives centralised control of the widest possible range of vehicle functions, as well as connectivity to external devices such as mobile phones and portable music players.
In response, the new Prius Plug-in Hybrid, gives customers a unique range of multimedia equipment choices, from the most affordable touch screen interface to the most sophisticated satellite navigation yet created by Toyota, as well as a new, power-saving JBL premium sound system.
Toyota Touch
Fitted as standard, Toyota Touch is a 6.1-inch, full colour, touch-screen interface which represents a new approach to affordable, on-board multimedia systems. With a choice of seven European languages, it offers customers a wide range of interactive functions without the added expense of an integral satellite navigation system.
It incorporates an AM/FM radio with enhanced FM reception through the first use of two tuners and two antennae; a CD/MP3 player; Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity with a music streaming facility; and a USB port for the connection of portable music players, with the facility to display iPod album cover art. In addition, a rear-view camera is fitted as standard.
Toyota Touch and Go Plus
Building on the Toyota Touch multimedia base unit, Toyota Touch and Go Plus equips Prius Plug-in Hybrid with an optional navigation system that represents the best value for money on the market. With a choice of 14 languages, it includes all the most popular navigation functions, such as advanced traffic coverage, customisable speed limits, speed camera warnings, 3D city models and landmarks.
Toyota Touch Pro
The launch of new Prius Plug-in Hybrid will also mark the introduction of the most sophisticated satellite navigation system yet offered by the company, the new Toyota Touch Pro.
This premium quality multimedia system features a high-resolution 7.0-inch touch-screen interface with a 'home' screen, at-a-glance function displaying the most relevant air-conditioning, audio and navigation information. With a choice of 20 menu and guidance languages, the system covers the whole of Europe.
It offers a comprehensive range of advanced features including voice recognition, automatic map zoom at intersections, 3D city model and landmark graphics, an on-line Points Of Interest search facility and a supplementary driver's navigational guidance head-up display.
The system also provides access to SMS messages and emails, and includes a 'text-to-speech' message readout facility. A rear-view camera with dynamic guidance lines to help manoeuvring in confined spaces is fitted as standard.
Toyota Touch Pro also incorporates DAB/DAB+/DMB digital radio as standard, making it compatible with a new advanced Transport Protocol Export Group (TPEG) traffic information service (depending on DAB/TPEG availability). Based on a digital communication channel, TPEG represents a significant improvement over existing, RDS-TMC analogue systems because it can carry far more information (depending on market).
Not only will its pin-point accuracy enable better navigation routing, but it will also supplement a basic traffic event and flow service with information on parking availability and fuel prices, adding extra information such as speed limits and weather thereafter.
JBL GreenEdge premium sound system
Prius Plug-in Hybrid introduces another Toyota first, a new JBL Premium Sound System which features GreenEdge. This technology helps to maximise energy efficiency by reducing operational power requirements by up to 80 per cent of those of a conventional on-board audio system.
At the heart of the system is a JBL GreenEdge amplifier, which is 66 per cent smaller and lighter than comparable units. Because the amplifier's Tracking Power Technology measures audio input in real time, only the necessary electricity is provided to the amplification circuit. This greatly reduces heat loss, and effects a 50 per cent reduction in current consumption.
High-efficiency JBL GreenEdge speakers consume 50 per cent less power than conventional speakers for the same sound output levels. They feature custom designed acoustic lenses to spread a more powerful sound across an even wider frequency range.

Smart Grid for the future mobility society
Toyota's next-generation, environmentally-efficient PHEVs and EVs will become a key element of the social system and play an important role in realising a low-carbon society.
However, the amount of electricity these vehicles consume while recharging accounts for a substantial part of an ordinary household's total power consumption. And if many vehicles charge their batteries simultaneously during specific hours of the day, it will boost overall peak power demand. It is, therefore, crucial that this charging time is optimally controlled.
In response to these requirements, Toyota is working on the Smart Grid concept – an electricity network wherein power supply and demand are efficiently controlled using IT to ensure a stable power supply and optimum energy saving.
The Smart Grid is designed to help customers live a comfortable, low-carbon eco-life by connecting vehicles, homes and people. At the heart of the Smart Grid is Toyota Home's Smart House, currently on test in Japan.
The Smart House is equipped with a Home Energy Management System (HEMS), which controls the generation of electricity by solar panels, its storage in a home battery and its efficient consumption, including vehicle charging times. The PHEV or EV is integral to the system, and the vehicle battery may be used as a household power source in emergencies.
Smart House occupants' smart phones are also integrated into the system, monitoring home power consumption and facilitating the remote control of appliances to support an eco-lifestyle. In addition, the smart phone will also check PHEV or EV battery level, set battery charging time and control the vehicle's remote air conditioning to help support eco-driving.
The Smart Houses in each district are connected to a Toyota Smart Centre; a local information centre which monitors power company and home electricity generation, and each home's power usage. The Smart Centre plans power consumption and storage, and gives advice where necessary to help level power demands and ensure that electricity is efficiently used throughout the entire community.
To establish the Smart Grid, advanced IT technologies and large-scale information infrastructures are necessary, while cooperation among various industries and government agencies is essential. To that end, Toyota is already participating in tests to evaluate the next generation of eco-cars and introduce the Smart Grid on a global scale.
In Japan, a Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) programme is promoting PHEVs and EVs in 18 designated model prefectures such as Aichi, Osaka and Kyoto, encouraging their use as public service vehicles. METI-supported, next-generation energy/social system projects at Toyota City and Kitakyushu City are both developing a low-carbon community from the consumer's viewpoint and testing factory management systems for industrial cities.
In Rokkasho Village, Aomori, another TMC project covers all power requirements for homes and PHEVs with natural, wind and solar power energy, and is conducting various tests for the establishment of a Toyota Smart Centre.
In the United States, the world's first whole-town Smart Grid demonstration project is underway in Boulder City, Colorado. Led by local power companies, the project will evaluate the PHEV's usability, charging performance and connection with homes.
In Tianjin City, China, a joint project with the China Automotive Technology and Research Centre (CATARC) will evaluate the usability and charging performance of the PHEV.
In France, as part of a larger study on the energy convergence between solar power, buildings and transport, 10 Toyota PHEVs are involved in projects which focus on the use of solar power for recharging. The trials, taking place at the National Institute of Solar Energy (INES) in Chambery and the Agency for Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies (CEA) in Grenoble, are designed to maximise the use of solar energy and minimise fossil fuel requirements in a recharging infrastructure.

Costume Information
|I fudging love her.
I think she must be one of the strongest female protagonists of a game where the person doesn't have some insane power to go behind.
She's really got one of the most empathetic stories behind her in the Silent Hill series, and I think that Silent Hill 3 must be one of the creepiest of the series >_<
Not scary, just creepy.. (Like the haunted house part, and the merry-go-round, ack...)
I'm one of those proud people that actually have played the games. XD
It's gonna be awesome to see this completed. <33
I was gonna do Heather one day, too, but decided against it. You're gonna suit her so much~ can't wait to see more progress!
Thank you!
I saw that you had Heather on your cosplayisland the other day when I was looking to see other people's :3
How come you decided against it? <3
Working on the skirt now, progress should be fast! <3
You're welcome. <33
Yeah, it's mostly cuz I planned to do Heather with one of my friends, who would cosplay Vincent, but it doesn't seem like it's gonna happen anytime soon. So I'll put Heather back up when the idea is properly planned. c:
Awesome! Really looking forward to see the results <33
Aww that sucks >_<
I managed to get a Vincent, Douglas, and Claudia ;-;
But I'm doing a Silent Hill monsters/characters group for may London Expo next year on the saturday, and I'm doing a Schism from Homecoming.
You could come along as Heather if you're going. x3
This is going to look amazing.
Wish there were some other descent characters to cosplay ¬_¬
1# i've lost a little respect for silent hill is the lack of girl characters ..that look decent and have amazing background storys.
Thank you! c: <3
I knowww, it kinda sucks.
I guess you could find a side-character, or monster maybe ;w;''' <3
>B| no monsters. they all loook....deformed. ¬_¬
umm i'll just have to look around and try to find love for one off the characters
Yesssssssss, you better!
It'll be so much fun c: <3
Loving this ^____^!
Thank you >:3 <333
*crawls in all lurker style :P-
-Kicks for quoting the wrong game- >:o
i didnt mean to quote wrong game i did it because i am a lurker >B|
>/ /Hits with pipe
Oooh, when this is done you have to recreate the weird mirror room and take some photos with that! :O That'd be amazing ha :)!
Yess :D That is on my list to do.
Actually I'm planning to do a lot of recreated scene's.
HOPEFULLY the merry-go-round, (with a lot of editing obviously) since that was creepy in my opinion. >.<
A few of the subway scene's, and hopefully obtain a lot of her weapons.
And if the Church doesn't mind, the Claudia and Heather scene at the Church too |D;
Can't wait for it :) I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Oh god the merry go round D: I got creeped out by those dolls just before it and they didn't even do anything haha. It's gonna be well cool :D
Oh god yes. ;_;
The horses still have to creep me out the most - or the body that drops from the ceiling in the haunted house haha...Or the haunted house itself. >_<
I guess the scariest parts of the game are when something's just there - and does nothing at all.
I hate it, you see something scary and you expect it to spring to life or something and it doesn't do anything... :L Makes me want to play this now.
Yess :D
I'm playing it through again because I want Heather's sexy beam haha. Still creeps me out no matter how many times I play.
I can't play it, i lost the game a few months ago T_T. I might just watch a walkthrough on youtube, it's sort of the same thing. I'm sorry for spamming your costume with chat by the way :(
Aaww that sucks D:
My girlfriend bought it so we kind of share it haha.
And it's fine! I'll pm you ? :D
Can already tell that you are really going to suit the character. Can't wait to see it when finished hun x.
Ah thank you! :D
I can't wait to finish this - finally got my white material back so that I can start to make the body warmer. c:
Get it finished miss!
I will I Will D: <3
Yay, Heather! I loved her, and yes that game was hella creepy. Wtf was up with that house? Even corny ghost trains freak me out now!
You have to bring this to October Expo if you're going :D!! I'm doing Maria for the Friday and there may be a James too XD.
Ffff I know right. ;___;
When the body dropped from the ceiling while you get told that story in the haunted house /died a little inside ;3;
I'm pretty sure I'm going to October Expo, so yes I shall bring her along. |D Needed some inspiration to finish this. <3
I think my controller actually flew a few feet in the air at that part :/. Not cool, Konami! Not cool -_-
Yay! I'm hoping for a really foggy day :P.
I think it was actually my first time jumping and exclaiming my own fright out loud on a video game. XDDDD
Just because like, you thought a monster would just walk in or something not something so....typical yet still frightening. Maybe it was because the camera angle was so close? idek. I also frightened myself with the merry-go-round part, the horses were horrible. ><
Me too *W* <3 awidaowsdnh I so hope I can go, it'll be great to meet SH fans ;3;
Haha, what about the freaky mirror room? I swear, I was almost on the floor in the fetal position for that one. Like wtf?! The other games were scary but SH3 was just plain creepy XD.
Where the blood starts trailing everywhere? ;3; It /was/ a plain creepy game.
It's a shame that there's no Claudia cosplayers around (Been trying to coax SachikoYumi into it for ages now ;D)
I'd love to get some pictures with one ;3;
Yes! Just when you think you know Silent Hill it finds a new way of getting under your skin haha.
Ack, tmai. I think I've only ever seen one Claudia cosplayer and that was online :(. Haha, get persuading! I'd love to see a Vincent too :D.
Yesss ;3;
We'll have to get skulking about to find them haha.
I'm going to totally bring Heather to October now :3 I'll be doing a Big Sister on either Saturday or Sunday. <3
Awesome! That's a hell of a project to take on haha. Good luck with it! I was thinking of being a splicer for May Expo til I realised the hotels were all full. Can you imagine the fun of travelling halfway across the country on a train dressed as a splicer? XD
ffffffff, travelling splicer. XDDDD
You should bring it to October so we can get pictures >:3 <3
If Tifa falls through, I may do :). Need a creepy costume for halloween XD. And ohmg, I'd totally be running round in character all day haha.
This is going to be totally epic. I hope you find a group to get some photo's with.
Thank you! :D
I really hope I find a group! ;3; <3
wow this looks fantastic you will suit her so well :)

Godspeed You! Black Emperor
GY!BE formed in 1994, and that year self-released a limited-run (33 copies) cassette entitled All Lights F**ked on the Hairy Amp Drooling. The band's next recording, F#A#(Infinity), was initially a limited-run release of 550 LPs on the Canadian label Constellation, but was picked up by Kranky and released on CD as well. Early 1999 brought the EP Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada (released by both labels) and increased recognition for a band intent on retaining anonymity. Nevertheless, interest in GY!BE only continued to grow among new music fans, with much positive attention from The Wire magazine, the band's participation in the John Peel-produced Peel Session for the London BBC, and the group's consistently impressive live shows, including their performance at Quebec's 1999 new music festival FIMAV and a tour with Labradford later that year.
GY!BE performances generally include at least nine or more musicians and a projectionist. The instrumentation consists of three guitars, two basses, French horn, violin, viola, cello, and percussion. The year 2000 brought about the release of Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven, pushing their diverse orchestral rock sound even further into the universe. Yanqui U.X.O. followed in 2002. GY!BE remained in absentia until they reassembled for a tour in 2010. Another tour commenced in September of 2012 with stops at both the Pitchfork and All Tomorrow's Parties festivals of that year. In October, GY!BE announced 'ALLELUJAH! DON'T BEND! ASCEND!, their first recording in a decade, a mere two weeks before it was released. Drummer Tim Herzog replaced Bruce Cawdron around this time and GY!BE played sporadically for much of the next two years as they worked on their sixth album between late 2013 and 2014. Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress was recorded in Montreal and North Carolina; it marked the band's first single LP-length release since 1999. Recorded and mixed by Greg Norman, it was issued in the spring of 2015. ~ Joslyn Layne

I was introduced to GYBE about a year ago, and have fallen in love with their music since then. Cannot wait to see them live.
Got my tickets in the mail to see them February 17th. 4 and a half months away, but the tickets sold out in 2-3 days so im glad I picked them up when I did. Can't wait.
It's ironic when people are basically saying to get off the internet, while they're on the internet, telling you to get off the internet..Lo v e it.

It came to my attention recently that the Chinese, whose obsession with all things Western has led them to build replicas of Paris, London, and Lower Manhattan, are now building replica ski towns for newly rich city dwellers to retire to on the weekends. First it was a replica of the Austrian Alps village of Hallstat, and more recently, a 1,000-unit second home development called Jackson Hole replete with log cabins stocked with license plates from Illinois and Wyoming, copies of the Declaration of Independence, and Chinese security guards with cowboy costumes that patrol the development's "Route 66" on golf carts. It turns out that the plethora of Chinese who either study abroad in the U.S. or visit it in large umbrella-touting tourist junkets are returning home with a ravishing desire to have a little piece of idealized America within driving distance of their Beijing office.
Designers like Allison Smith have stumbled onto a market that's hungry for postcard-quality replicas of famous American mountain towns yet have no idea how to build them; and damn if I'll be late getting on that train. That's where you—the ski bum who knows the ins and outs of places like Park City, Jackson Hole, and Sun Valley—comes in. Here's how it's going to work:
First, go into every iconic building in your Western ski town, whether it's the New Sheridan Hotel in Telluride, the Wheeler Opera House in Aspen, or the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson, and shamelessly take as many pictures as possible. You see, all these Chinese contractors need is a picture and they'll build you the thing from scratch overnight! Not sure if it's up to code or anything, but damn do those guys come cheap! Oh yeah, on the way out of the Cowboy Bar, see if they'll sell you the bar stools with the horse saddles—all of them—and tell the bouncer with the handlebar mustache that I've got an opportunity for him he can't refuse. He just has to bring his 'stache wax, cowboy boots, and his leather vest. If you can fit that elk antler sculpture from the town square in the back of your truck before you leave town, that'd be great, too. If not, we'll just paint some sticks and glue them together when we get there.
Next, we're going to need memorabilia, lots of it. Tell your buddies you're paying a $100 a pop for one pieces, $80 for straight skis, $50 for old Carrera goggles, and $40 for any item that comes out of an a-frame built in the '70s. Go on eBay and bid on absolutely everything that comes up under "American memorabilia." I'm talking everything: the flags, baseball cards, license plates, Civil War canons, Harleys, Suzy Chaffee's silver race suit…buy it all. Hit up every thrift store in Wyoming and see how many saddles, lassos, bison skulls, and rear-entry boots you can stock up on. We'll sell it all as the "Authentic American Interior Package." Oh yeah, get some silver dollars and Billy The Kid's hat, too.
You got all that? Meet me in San Francisco in 11 days. I'll have a container waiting. I've got some shit to take care of until then. I bought that sweet old RV the K2 Performers used to drive around in, gave it a new paint job, and convinced Bobbie Burns and Wayne Wong to help me promote the place in China with it. I think I'm gonna call it TelluAspenButteHole, or maybe Ski Town USA; I haven't made up my mind. At any rate, we're gonna blow the place out of the water and bring in buyers by the busload! By the time they've seen Burns host a wet T-shirt contest and Wayne bust out a few Wong Bangers on the mogul line we're building, they won't know what hit 'em. Hell, we've paid a rancher from Idaho to waltz around the place with his cattle and just yell "Howdy!" at people. We even hired the couple from that Steamboat poster as security. They're just going to be on their horses with skis on their back doing laps around the replica barn we built trotting through the replica pow field we're building.
Now you must excuse me: I've got to get back to some pressing plans. I'm hosting an après-ski party at the replica of the Sky Hotel pool we built behind the replica barn. We even hired Pat Sewell to bartend and Bode Miller to just show up and get wasted. How's that for authenticity? You wouldn't believe the lengths I had to go to get thousands of Tsingtao cans painted to look like PBR. Man, I gotta go. Wayne Wong's calling about his hair. I'll see you in TelluAspenButteHole!

One of the trio is another ad about Siri. As in the first spot, questions are poised to the personal assistant-including a very timely one about the weather (especially if you live up north)-and Siri provides the answers quickly. Another spot shows how iCloud allows you to make changes on your handset for work or play, that will show up on all of your other devices. And the last ad deals with the new upgraded 8MP camera on the back of the Apple iPhone 4S.
Those handling the ad campaign of other handset manufacturers should watch these three spots and take some notes.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A woman who got off a bus in suburban Portland because the driver berated her about her crying toddler says she's embarrassed but happy other passengers supported her.
Magdalena Rabadan also told KATU (http://bit.ly/r2pmke ) through an interpreter she fears running into that bus driver again.
Despite a language barrier, she says she understood the driver in Oregon's largest public transit agency wanted her to stop her 2-year-old daughter from crying last Thursday. But she says there was nothing else she could do.
Rabadan got off the bus in Hillsboro. Other passengers got off in support and urged her to report the driver.
Rabadan says she had relatives with her and she called her husband for a ride home.
The driver who said she couldn't safely drive the bus with the baby-crying noise has been place on leave by the Portland area transit agency for an investigation.

Homemade electric pool heater
1 Attachment(s)
Ok. So here is what I have. The kids have a 16' pool we setup in the summer, and I used to have an old spa heater I used in the spring to get things heated up until the summer. Well, it died, so I built another one. I used 2 - 3000w water heater elements threaded into 2" tees interconnected so the water flows into one tee, then into the other, then out. I only have 3 wire 220v outdoor cable run to the pool to run the elements. I have a 120v switch and relay to turn the elements on and off, and they run off a second 120v gfci plug. So yes, I have to plug in the 3 wire 220v, and the gfci 120v plug at the same time to turn the heat on. (the 120v is plugged into a totally separate outlet, nothing to do with the 220v line) Which is fine because I can put the 120v relay on a timer to run with the pump. The 220v line has the 2 hot lines, and a ground line tied back to the main panel where the ground and neutral are tied together.
I have the ground lines from both the 220v and the 120v lines going to the metal pipe.
I haven't had the guts to plug it in yet, even though I can't see why it wouldn't work, except I'm concerned with the 220v line. I know with a water heater, they are usually 3 wire and grounded to the water tank, which is similar to what I have done, so I don't know why it wouldn't work. I'm concerned that somehow, either the pipe or the water are going to get electrically charged because the ground (which is also the neutral since they are bonded at the panel) are going to complete a circuit. Can anyone give me a second opinion?
I don't think I would use a homemade...ANYTHING electrical...in a pool.
I can't give any particular reason other than that it just doesn't seem like a good idea.
Sorry I can't be more specific, or give you the second opinion you're looking for.
get that contactor away from those pipes and lead the elements out thru a chase into a seal tight box....:eek: where are the elements:huh: with the disconnect /CB on but not calling that are should be dead of power not within....:thumbsup: should of PVC'd the pipes
My opinion is that I don't know why anyone would put some kids in jeopardy just to save a few bucks.
I'd highly recommend using a two pole GFI breaker for the 220 to the elements. I'd also solidly ground the pipe that the elements are in.
Is there any kind of interlock that will de-energize the elements in the event of no water flow through them?
If an immersion element is energized when there's no water flow, it'll burn up quickly. And even worse, very often the outer sheath will rupture, allowing water to contact the energized part of the element. This will trip the GFI (if there is one). If there isn't a GFI, then in theory, the ground will maintain a low enough voltage gradient to not be harmful, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Properly protected, this set-up will work well.
The two elements combined will draw about 25 amps at 240 volts.
I will put a gfi breaker on the 220v side.
I don't have a flow sensor, but was going to put the pump and the heater on the same timer so the pump will be running with the heater, but if for some reason it doesn't, yes the elements will burn up. But I figured the cost of the elements are under $40, so I wasn't really too concerned about it, but I will put a gfi on the breaker because I didn't think about what would happen if they burned up.
The wire will handle at least 40 amps, and the current breaker is a 30 amp, so I should be set with that.
What do you mean about solidly grounding the water pipe? You can't see it, but the ground wires coming in are attached to the metal strap holding the iron pipes in place. It's a very tight connection to the iron pipe. Do you mean I should add a ground rod outside? I thought the only place you should ground is at the panel.
Can we lock this thread now?
This might just be the dumbest, most dangerous post I have read on this forum. Sounds alot like Russian Roulette to me.
Do you have temperature limit sensors on the outlet pipe? You don't want to be pumping 150 degree water into the pool if the flow rate slows down due to dirt in the filter.
I tend to agree with brric.
K-buz. Do you have something constructive to add to this thread? Otherwise, maybe you shouldn't associate with people who's intelligence is so far beneath you. Since this is a DIY forum, I'm guessing you are in the wrong place.
We don't help people build death traps.
Due to the potential dangerous nature of this situation, this thread is closed.

Businesses need to thrive. This by all means is not an easy task in today's challenging environment, replete with competitive pressures and the emerging dynamics of a digital and real time world. Perhaps the first requirement we at Biz Technix believe is having a well-oiled organization with its IT frameworks running in sync with what the business demands. The outcome of such a state of business readiness is an organization poised to be agile and process – efficient. And these you would agree are the building blocks for thriving businesses.[...]
Think of Biz Technix then as that much needed catalyst who can observe, diagnose, solve and support the creation of a responsive IT framework. As your Team, we can provide innovative solutions to the implementation of the ERP conversion. We offer experienced technical skills, the proven ability to deliver cutting-edge solutions throughout the life cycle of virtually any project.
Biz Technix was founded in 2008, as a "Business (Biz) and Technology Integration Exchange." We are a few genuinely talented individuals who have come together, bringing to the leadership team a diverse and unique collection of talents. Thanks to these varied business experiences of the founders, we have exposure to different technologies, business scenarios and implementation challenges. We are a well-rounded team that can provide truly exceptional service to your business.
How we can create that sync.
Money spent on IT has to be well spent. This is easier said than done in most IT implementation and integration projects. While the dollars are spent and as the project progresses the organization starts to understand the complexities with well measured skepticism on which part of the integration is relevant and is impacting the business and decision making on a day to day basis, or even a real time basis. This anxiety becomes unfounded when you work with a provider like Biz Technix.[...]
Our way
Need assessment
By virtue of our varied experience and familiarity with different business scenarios, we are able to keenly observe, reflect and effectively decode a business problem, an RFP or a client need to say. Here the approach is a combination of method married to experience and intuitive capabilities built on the foundations of knowledge. This area is individual – focused with talent coming to the fore in diagnosing the needs and possibly the road map to creating a sustainable IT framework
Choosing a model
We follow "Accelerated Systems Application and Products in Data Processing (ASAP)" methodology for the project implementation. This model has 5 phases. Each of these phases addresses a particular work area in a software development life cycle.
Facilitating change
This is an area where the IT plan can fly or die, therefore a crucial and special area of expertise for us at Biz Technix. It is in this area that unlike other providers whose relationship ceases with the implementation, we dig in to ensure that the complete change process is streamlined and the transfer of knowledge is complete. Managing the structure on one hand and the people side of the business on the other becomes a daunting task for the organization. Evolving the capabilities for creating, assessing, approving and implementing changes to your environment will be the thrust of this area.

I have not seen a magpie in Boise for years. Has there been a disease or something that has killed all the magpies?
When West Nile Virus made its appearance in Idaho a few years back, magpies were one of the species that were heavily impacted by the disease. Their populations were noticeably reduced, but now they are starting to come back. Although we're not seeing them as frequently as we used to, they are still in Boise city limits and their numbers are increasing. Keep your eyes open for them!
