When the second generation of Porsche's sport-luxury Cayenne SUV arrived in 2011, the lineup included a hybrid model for the first time. That is, a supercharged hybrid powerful enough to uphold Porsche's performance image. The blown 3-liter V6 is paired with an electric motor for a combined output of 380 horsepower. The Cayenne can cruise using electric power alone on the highway, where it gets 24 mpg, and achieve 150 mph on the track.
The Cayenne has always been more about performance than utility, even in hybrid form, yet is widely regarded as one of the finest SUVs in existence. Such excellence comes at a price -- the hybrid starts at $70,900.

Twenty months upon his diagnosed of pancreatic cancer, Patrick Wayne Swayze passed away at the mere age of 57 with his supportive family at his side.
Swayze was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer in late January 2008, and underwent chemotherapy and other treatments at the Stanford University Medical Center. After many months of therapy, it seemed as though Swayze was responding quite well. After reportedly being given just weeks to live by medical experts, Swayze commented on his health: "I'm cooking. I'm a miracle dude. I don't know why."
Swayze appeared on the ABC, NBC, and CBS simulcast of Stand Up to Cancer in September 2008. Swayze said to a standing ovation "I dream that the word 'cure' will no longer be followed by the words 'it's impossible.' Together, we can make a world where cancer no longer means living with fear, without hope, or worse. I'm just an individual living with cancer." That's how he wants to be thought of. He's in a fight but he's a fighter.
When Barbara Walters asked him if he was using any holistic or alternative methods of treatment besides the chemotherapy, Swayze admitted to using some Chinese herbs but not much. "That's one thing I'm not gonna do… Chase staying alive. I'm not. You'll spend so much time chasing staying alive you won't live, you know? I wanna live. If anybody had that cure out there, like so many people swear to me they do, you'd be two things: you'd be very rich, and you'd be very famous. Otherwise, shut up" (Barbara Walters interview).
Though he was nominated for three Golden Globes over the course of his 30-year career, Patrick Swayze measured his success by lives touched, not money made or awards won. "No matter what opinion Hollywood has of you the fans never forget you if you never forget them" (Entertainment Weekly). His last role was the lead in an A&E TV series, The Beast, which premiered on January 15, 2009.

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that federal officials can indefinitely hold inmates considered "sexually dangerous" after their prison terms are complete.
The high court in a 7-2 judgment reversed a lower court decision that said Congress overstepped its authority in allowing indefinite detentions of considered "sexually dangerous."
"The statute is a 'necessary and proper' means of exercising the federal authority that permits Congress to create federal criminal laws, to punish their violation, to imprison violators, to provide appropriately for those imprisoned and to maintain the security of those who are not imprisoned but who may be affected by the federal imprisonment of others," said Justice Stephen Breyer, writing the majority opinion.
President George W. Bush in 2006 signed the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, which authorized the civil commitment of sexually dangerous federal inmates.

Oklahoma: Do or Die for Obamacare Nullification Bill
Oklahoma House Bill 1021 – to nullify Obamacare – has passed the state house by a wide margin and is in senate. Senator Griffin has moved the bill out of the Rules Committee and on to the Appropriations Committee.
The ONLY CHANCE to move HB1021 to the Senate floor appears to be in committee on April 3rd. Please make calls immediately to push the bill forward!
Sen. Griffin had earlier expressed her disapproval of this bill – but she received hundreds of calls, emails and visits in support. She has since worked with Senator Dahm to ensure the bill complies with Senate rules and has not even bothered to bring it up in the Senate Rules Committee. Instead, Senator Griffin has simply sent it along its way to the next step; the Appropriations Committee. Don't forget, major national forces are against this bill – but your grassroots pressure is working!
ACTION ITEMS for Obamacare Nullification in Oklahoma
1. Contact the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. Call and email Sen. Jolley and respectfully urge him to bring HB1021 up for a vote in his committee. Ask him to vote YES on HB1021
Sen. Jolley (405) 521-5622, email@example.com
2. Contact all the members of the Appropriations Committee. CALL each of the committee members and strongly, but politely, let them know you want a YES vote on HB1021.Details

Your Vote Day: Embracing the Disenfranchised Citizen
14, 2004
By Teresa Van Deusen
On Saturday, February 14, 2004 get out the vote organizations
around the country will recognize Love Your Vote Day. These
groups have agreed to embrace the ideas of Love, Unity, Diversity,
and Democracy by hosting events such as Buy A Non-Voter A
Drink and college campus registration drives.
VoterVirgin and New Voters Project are proud to reach for
a goal of 10,000 new voters registered over a three day celebration
across the nation. Even in states where primaries have been
held, there are thousands of eligible voters yet to be registered.
We encourage all citizens to participate in Love Your Vote
Day by picking up a voter registration form and passing it
on to someone you know. In the spirit of this holiday, we
encourage you to set aside the issues and address the heart
of the matter: America is a passionate country, our voice
should be heard, voting says we care, please vote.
On a personal note I would like to see the progressive community
reach out to the conservative voters in your life. We are
a country polarized by extremist politics and it is time to
begin the healing. I have recently noted more vocal conservatives
dismayed by the deficit, slow job growth, and the temporary
worker proposal.
I want you to contemplate the shame most Republicans in our
world are feeling. In general, they are disenchanted, fed
up with trying to defend this administration, and losing their
defensiveness in varying degrees. Noted commentators have
written that they feel lost, not willing to support a reelection,
yet unimpressed with a Democratic candidate.
The key here is that our fellow citizens are feeling lost
and the community as a whole will be better off if we all
focus on finding common ground. Last fall the NRA and MoveOn
worked together to defeat new FCC ownership rules. If these
two groups can rally around a common cause, can we not open
our hearts to sharing a vision of recovery with our more conservative
neighbors and cousins?
Think of it this way. If the GOP was an airplane, then it
has been hijacked. Everybody thought they were flying first
class when a small, determined group of fundamentalists took
over the plane. The Republicans I know would not be sitting
passively in their seats. They would be calculating and weighing
their options and then they would take those heinous terrorists
I think they are about to make their move and I am relieved.
I just hope the rest of you turn out with me to welcome them
when they get their feet back on the ground. And I don't want
to hear any of this "I told you so" business either. Give
them a hug. Ask them what they need. It pays to remember we
are all human beings just trying to get by in this world.
Maybe if we find some common ground we can work together towards
restoring our nation.
So I ask you, fellow citizens, to set aside our differences
for one day and celebrate Love Your Vote Day this Saturday,
February 14th, 2004. Pick up a voter registration form and
pass it over the fence to your neighbor. E-mail your neighborhood
net group and send them to www.votervirgin.com.
Ask your favorite waitperson, or convenience store clerk,
or the person standing in line with you at the store on Saturday,
"Are you registered to vote? Today is Love Your Vote Day and
I would love it if you voted this fall," and hand them a registration
It's not a Valentine per se, but it might be just
as special to embrace a new voter this year.
Your Vote Day 2004 is sponsored by:
VoterVirgin: Everybody's Doin' It In '04 firstname.lastname@example.com
New Voters Project firstname.lastname@example.com
Hip Hop Summit Action Network firstname.lastname@example.com
includes recognition from:
Smackdown Your Vote, Project Democracy, and Indyvoter among
many other individual expressions of passionate voter outreach.

Thanks for your response regarding the LDS information. I talked to
the President of our local Genealogy Society and she tells me that the
LDS site that the general public can access is not the REAL ( so to
speak) LDS site. Only people of that faith can access the actual site
and enter information, which no doubt makes it more accurate. Even
though the dates on the "general public" site are not particularly
accurate, it does tell you that a certain person lived in a certain
place, so there is a lot of useful information in that respect.
Thanks again....

Waka Flocka Reveals Sophomore LP 'Triple F Life'
Following the release of his aggressive debut 'Flockavelli' last year, Waka Flocka Flame is already hard at work on its follow-up. The 'Hard in Da Paint' rapper recently announced that he's recording his sophomore LP titled 'Triple F Life: Friends, Fans and Family,' an album that could surface before year's end.
"I'm working on that, that's big," he told Hot 97.5's Bootleg Kev of the LP, remaining mum on any other details surrounding the album.
'Flockavelli' spawned the singles 'O Let's Do It,' 'No Hands' and 'Hard in Da Paint, earning Waka a Top 10 debut in its first week with 37,000 copies sold. The album continued on to sell almost 100,000 units, a noteworthy accomplishment given its critical maelstrom.
Waka, whose real name is Juaquin Malphurs, is hard at work on the LP following his recent run-in with the law. Back in December, the spitter's Atlanta home was raided by cops, who pegged him with a slew of charges for drug possession, firearm possession and gang-related activity. Waka was later released on Jan. 5 after posting $40,000 bond.

Living Longer
According to Google Public Data, a child born in the United States in 2008 can expect to live over 78 years. But some futurists believe that a child born today, might actually live forever.
Babies Growing Outside the Womb
Artificial wombs are mechanisms that are used to grow an embryo outside of the body of a female. Could this be the future of reproduction for humans? Scientists at Cornell University have grown mice embryos in man-made, bubble shaped wombs.
Health Watch
The house call is back. Doctors can already gather your glucose from their gardens and check your liver from the links (though your butt may come after the putt). Remote medical monitoring will be commonplace in the future and it promises to benefit both physicians and patients by saving time and money.
Pandemic Research
Influenza viruses are classified as type A, B, or C based upon their protein composition. Type A viruses are found in many kinds of animals, including ducks, chickens, pigs, whales, and also in humans.
The type B virus widely circulates in humans. Type C has been found in humans, pigs, and dogs and causes mild respiratory infections, but does not spark epidemics. Type A influenza is the most frightening of the three. It is believed responsible for the global outbreaks of 1918, 1957 and 1968.
Can technology protect us from the flu?
Regenerative Medicine
Imagine a world where there is no donor organ shortage. Where victims of spinal cord injuries can walk, where weakened hearts are replaced. This is the long-term promise of regenerative medicine, a rapidly developing field with the potential to transform the treatment of human disease through the development of innovative new therapies that offer a faster, more complete recovery with significantly fewer side effects or risk of complications.
Nanotechnology and Medicine
Nanomedicine is promising great things, including great advancements in the treatment of cancer. Imagine swarms of nanobots swimming through your veins, repairing cells or attacking viruses. On second thought, get that image out of your mind, it's a bit creepy. Just close your eyes and wait for the healing to begin.

2012-03-22 / Front Page
Educator has been on administrative leave since February
Update: After its investigation, LAPD chose not to pursue criminal charges against Mr. Ollins.
A Newbury Park High School teacher is under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department for alleged inappropriate sexual contact with a male student from the school, CVUSD Superintendent Jeff Baarstad told the Acorn last week.
The incident between the student and the teacher—whose name has not been released by the school district or the police—is believed to have occurred off campus and outside of Ventura County, Baarstad said.
A Newbury Park High student who spoke to the Acorn under the condition of anonymity said the accused teacher is Michael Ollins, a theater instructor listed as a faculty member in the English department.
Principal Athol Wong declined comment while the alleged incident is under investigation.
Officials at NPHS received a complaint about the possible sexual misconduct about a month ago, according to the superintendent. At that time, the case was turned over to the Ventura County Sheriff's Office, which determined that the incident happened outside its jurisdiction and turned the case over to LAPD's Topanga division, which serves Canoga Park, West Hills, Winnetka and Woodland Hills.
Detective Fernando Avila, who is leading the investigation, said it's too early to say if charges will be filed. The determination will be made in two to three weeks, he said.
"The case is moving slowly. There is a lot to do on it," Avila said.
Baarstad said the teacher in question has been on administrative leave since the incident was reported at the high school. A call went out to NPHS parents last Thursday informing them of the ongoing investigation, he said.
Asked if that was standard procedure, Barstaad said, "There is no standard procedure in a case like this."
"There is so much hysteria over the stuff that happened in Los Angeles (Unified), we believe parents should get information from us that is accurate and not from rumors or hearsay," he said, referring to the recent arrest of two teachers at Miramonte Elementary School for lewd acts against students.
"We want to provide them with as much information we can give without compromising the confidentiality of the employee and interfering with a police investigation."
Baarstad said the school district had begun its own investigation into the incident but was told by LAPD to cease its efforts.
Baarstad said the student in question posted information about the alleged incident on his Facebook page last week, causing students at the school to begin asking questions. The student is believed to have moved out of the area, he said.
Teachers have declined to discuss the matter with students, said the NPHS student who spoke to the Acorn.
"(The school) should be more open about what happened. They need to educate students and say, if anything happens, you need to come forward," the student said. "It would be helpful if counselors came to each classroom and talked to us about it.
"This doesn't make me lose trust in teachers," the student added. "I trust and respect the teachers that I know."

| Drug Approvals: Circumstances under which an active ingredient may be simultaneously marketed in both a prescription drug product and an over-the-counter drug product

| Dear Sirs: It is my understanding that the FDA is considering the sale of Emergency Contraceptive Products (EC), Plan B, over the counter (otc) to all but those below the age of 17 years. I consider this to be a great error. First of all published studies of populations in Scotland and San Francisco showed no reduction in elective abortion among women who had EC available to them, as opposed to those who did not. In studies done in Washington State and Sweden, increased rates of sexually transmitted disease were seen in women who had otc EC available to them. And strangely in Great Britain, an ectopic pregnancy rate 3 times the normal rate was seen in women who used EC which failed. EC contains agents used in oral contraceptives. These are very powerful drugs you would be putting into the hands of 17-45 year old women who may have little idea of what serious effects these products may have or of the failure rates, etc. These should be dispensed under the guidance of professionals who can advise and follow up the women. This is not a place for self medication. Also these drugs can be administered up to 36 hours from exposure, which certainly gives the woman ample time to call her physician or Family Planning Clinic. Physicians could even prescribe the drugs in advance if they felt it was needed. But at least the woman would have a physician to turn to with questions or problems. As far as not extending otc availability to teens below age 17, I'm sure any teenager could obtain such a readily available product with little difficulty. They certainly know where to get the illegal substances quickly enough. I have little understanding of why the American College of OBGYN supports making such products so readily available. I am a member of that organization and have asked and am only given the statement to reduce unwanted pregnancy which it does not seem to do with certainty. The ACOG seems to ignore data that suggests that Plan B and products of a similar nature have potentially serious consequences. Used otc there would be innumerable errors in their administration, especially when given later than recommended. Thank You for your consideration of this email. Richard C. Finn, MD, Winston-Salem, NC

Multidimensional economic well-being. Is it measurable? The case of Lombardy
The definition and measurement of economic well-being is receiving growing attention, both in academic research and policy agenda, as a key issue to provide a solid basis for decision-making at all levels, both national and local. There is general agreement among economists and policy-makers about the necessity to go beyond GDP but the convergence towards a new and wider definition and measurement is far from being reached. This is why research and experiments that try to test different definitions and indicators can help, through empirical results, to the ongoing debate. This paper attempts to measure the multidimensional well-being of the Italian Region Lombardy, for the years 1995-2005, along the lines of the Index of Economic Well-Being (IEWB) proposed by the Centre for the Study of Living Standards (Osberg, 1985; Osberg and Sharpe, 2002, 2005). The evolution of the index is aligned with that of per capita GDP from 1995 to 2001 but diverges in the following period because of the fall of regional per capita GDP and consumption in the period 2002-2005 and a contemporary strong growth of the health dimension and of the level of human capital stock (education).

Then, as they neared a cross street, a man stepped out on the running board and flashed an automatic.
Or are you going to sit in state in the car and let us occupy the running board?
Unabashed, they swung themselves up on the running board, and entered the compartment.
He got up off the running board and smoothed out his uniform as best he could.
"Okay," the policeman said wearily, taking out his book of tickets and putting one foot on the running board.
Billy rode on the running board and Barbara took the steering wheel.
Fenders and a running board can be attached to the main frame.
And there are some dents in the running board and radiator and one lamps done for.
"Ride on the running board," was the answer, in a tone which King knew meant that he was requested not to argue about it.
There was not room on the running board for Tom to help Joe.

New Governor Moves Into Mixed-Use
Josh Stephens notes that Brown has always walked the walk when it comes to urbanism and walkability:
"In the 1970s during his first stint as Governor, Jerry Brown lived in a sparse studio across the street from the Capitol building – reflective of his Jesuit training and overall economic aesthete. It was not motivated by desires to revitalize a blighted community, or encourage smart growth; rather, it was a practical and no-frills statement.
In an age when politicians often say one thing and do another, Brown's choice of residence reflects a refreshing consistency."
Stephens also points to Brown's 10K campaign for downtown Oakland, which had the goal of encouraging 10,000 people to move downtown and inspired a flurry of loft building in the city.

"I just feel more comfortable now," said Austin Schotts when asked about his ability to torch the opposition at the plate this season. "I am seeing pitches better and am learning to read the spin on the ball a lot better. Everything seems to be starting to click."
It's safe to say that things have certainly clicked at the plate for young Schotts. Through 36 games, Schotts' .338 batting average and .876 OPS rank second best in the Gulf Coast League. Schotts has also recorded ten doubles, a triple, three homers, 21 RBIs and twelve stolen bases over 139 at-bats this season.
The game of baseball and its fast-paced arduous grind is nothing new for Austin Schotts though.
"I really believe that I was born to play baseball," said Schotts.
"When I was 7-years-old my dad started me in 90mph cages," Schotts further stated. "My brother and I would always compete with each other to see who could hit the most balls since they were coming so fast. I grew up hitting at faster speeds."
Well Austin, we can tell.
For many, it has been a delight to watch Schotts in the batters box this season. His simple sweet swing, impressive bat speed and polished advanced approach are remarkable given his age.
While it's easy to marvel at Austin's mammoth season at the plate, the real treat has been his maturity and development defensively. The results are encouraging when you consider that it's been less than three months since the soon-to-be 19-year-old was asked to change positions.
You see, Schotts learned through the grapevine shortly after being drafted that the Tigers planned on developing him as an outfielder not a shortstop. Despite no prior experience Schotts welcomed the move and he's progressing nicely.
Even the almighty scouts, well known for their skepticism, see some progress and potential.
"He's an instinctual guy. You can see it in the way he plays. You can also see he's trying to figure how those instincts relate to the outfield. I think he can do it, but he's not there yet," said one NL Scout.
Another NL scout remarked, "He shows you some great reads and will really get a jump on a few balls. Then he'll come back and look a little lost on some. The talent is in there but he's got to learn."
Overall, the consensus is that he "fits better there [CF] than in the infield," further stating, "he knows the game well enough to catch on quickly."
Surely there's work to be done. The coaches know it. The scouts see it. Heck, even Austin realizes it. Regardless, the determination, work ethic and progress speak volumes.
Austin Schotts will succeed.
"I feel more comfortable every day," Schotts stated when asked about his progress. "I am getting better reads and taking better routes on balls. I feel like I am improving. I love the gap shots and the bloopers. I like to test myself to see how far I can go to make the plays. It's fun learning to read the ball off the bat when you are deeper in the field. It feels like being a wide receiver."
The coaches and teammates are giving Austin the tools to succeed. A student of the game, Schotts is taking advantage of his peers; working hard to perfect his craft. "I just train and listen and learn from what they tell me," Schotts further stated. "It is a different read off the bat from center than when I was at short. My coach, Basilio Cabrera, has helped me a lot with the transition and my roommate, Ismael Salgado, has been giving me pointers about how to improve my game defensively too because he has played outfield longer than I have."
Schotts further spoke on how his plus-speed has also aided the process.
"If I get a bad read on the ball my speed helps make up for that a bit," Schotts stated. "I love making plays and running which is probably why they put me in center."
Routinely cited for his advanced feel for the game, solid work ethic and mature approach, Schotts features the perfect combination of talent, confidence and humility.
"I have no fear of something I believe I was born to do," said Schotts. I go out and give it everything I've got every game. As far as carrying myself, it's not a game to me, it's my life. I want to project myself in a way that looks good to God and to everyone."
A simple glance at Schotts' character and small but impressive body of work and it's easy to predict a bright future. If/when obstacles arise while he's on that long and often bumpy road to the show; I'm even more confident that he'll have the maturity and drive to push forward.
