Tightening security in the wake of this week's WikiLeaks disclosures, the State Department says it has temporarily shut off access to its classified records by employees of other government agencies.
The State Department has unplugged from the Pentagon's SIPRNet (Secret Internet Protocol Router Network), which Army Pfc. Bradley Manning reportedly used to download the 251,000 diplomatic cables that WikiLeaks and several news organization published. Spokesman P.J. Crowley said the decision, which dramatically reduces the number of people with access to sensitive diplomatic records, would remain in effect until technicians correct "weaknesses in the system that have become evident because of this leak."
Time has details about SIPRNet and the decision to unplug.
In other WikiLeaks developments:
• Founder Julian Assange told Forbes that a "megaleak" will target a major American bank "early next year." He said it would "give a true and representative insight into how banks behave at the executive level in a way that will stimulate investigations and reforms, I presume."
Assange told Computer World in October 2009 that his group had received the hard drive of a Bank of America executive. BofA's stock dropped 3% today on the reports.
• WikiLeaks' servers have been under attack.
• Interpol issued the equivalent of a wanted poster seeking Assange's arrest and extradition as a fugitive from a Swedish investigation of sexual-assault allegations. Wired has details on the international police organization's "Red Notice."

7 buildings didn't make a village in medieval times (nor do they now). At most, that would have been considered a hamlet, more likely a steading. And in one of those, you'd exclusively find agricultural buildings.
And until the late medieval, they'd still have some means of defense, a palisade, earthworks or an enclosure of sorts. These were not safe times, there was actual danger out there (to the livestock even if not to the populace).
Now, Obsidian is not just calling this a village, but an actual town.
This corresponds well to the sort of buildings they have. The tower clearly points towards a seat of nobility or a magistracy. Other buildings, all of them stone structures might signify the presence of trade, crafts, scholarship or clergy. In short, a degree of relative wealth, and the requirement of others, farmers (serfs) close by to feed them.
Where do they live? A town would have tight rows of buildings along the roads with kitchen gardens out back, surrounded by significant defenses and extensive fields outside, even for just a couple hundred inhabitants.
My point stands: plausibility?

This is a case where facts don't reveal all.
Going into Wednesday, the Montreal Canadiens' Dale Weise had played in six career playoff games, scoring zero goals.
Therefore, it's tempting to think what the Winnipeg native did at 18:08 of overtime – score the winning goal for his childhood faves – is something he's never done before.
Only partially true, as it turns out.
Weise estimates he's done that very thing "a million [times]. I scored on the driveway, I scored on the outdoor rink for the Montreal Canadiens to win it in overtime. This is a dream come true."
At this point it's also worth mentioning that the Canadiens are now 13-4-1 in games where Weise, acquired from the Vancouver Canucks in a February trade, has dressed; he was a healthy scratch for three games in early March and missed six more with a wrist injury later in the month and into April.
This was a weird kind of night, one where a 25-year-old career fourth-liner could fulfill a lifelong dream, where an Olympic champion goaltender would give up four goals on the first 16 shots he faced (a reasonable person would only blame him for one of them), and where there would be seven comebacks from one-goal deficits but only two lead changes.
After the Tampa Bay Lightning's Nate Thompson was denied by Habs goalie Carey Price – who saved his best work for overtime – and defenceman Josh Gorges dove in to steal a sure goal off Tampa forward Alex Killorn's stick, after Valtteri Filppula was thwarted by an open net and Montreal's Max Pacioretty kissed a two-on-one shot off the post to Anders Lindback's right, it was time for the Big Weise-y to do his thing.
The spotlight always shines on the guy who does the scoring, but it's worth rewinding a couple of steps.
Fourth-liners Weise, Daniel Brière (who now has 110 points in 109 career playoff games) and playoff rookie Michael Bournival had enjoyed a strong game, but hadn't seen the ice much in the third period of a tie game.
"[Bournival] is the one who started it all on the overtime goal. At the start of the shift, he had two guys on his back, the puck was in the corner, but he found a way to get there first and get me the puck behind the net," said the 35-year-old Brière, who created at least a half-dozen scoring chances this night and saw some time on the first and second lines.
From there, Brière was able to hold off a defender and spot Weise all alone in the slot.
When the puck came to him, he wasn't about to muff his chance.
"Well, I ripped it so hard I don't know if I even saw it," he deadpanned. "Nah, as soon as I got it my eyes got real big and I knew I wasn't going to miss."
It's a truism that closely-fought series are often decided by marginal actors, and in this case the Habs' fourth line proved to be the difference – indeed, the Lightning's fourth unit also contributed a goal in the early going.
And for those looking for hints as to who will win a hockey game, look no further than the scoring column next to Montreal defenceman Mike Weaver's name.
The journeyman rearguard, acquired the trade deadline from Florida, chalked up an assist in this one, and the Habs are now 6-1 when he notches a point.
Correlation doesn't prove causation, and beyond the contributions of specific individuals, the Habs won this game because they made at least one less mistake than the Lightning, and their role players stepped to the fore.
Before the game, coach Michel Therrien said "I'm not a big fan of making hard changes" and trying to match lines, and that "you want to show confidence in the players who are on the ice to do the job."
There were times when that seemed a little misguided – like when the Lightning's Steven Stamkos started running wild in the second period – but according to Brière, it's an effective strategy at this point.
"The playoffs are long, they're a grind ... to win a Stanley Cup, you're looking at two months of work, you need contributions from everybody and everyone has to get into the game," he said. "In overtime, I think everybody felt good, no one was overly taxed, which was an advantage for us."
Tampa coach Jon Cooper was plainly disappointed after the game, saying that his team has a lot more to give.
"They play well and with a lot of structure and stuff, but we shot ourselves in the foot," Cooper said. "We had our chances to win this game, we just didn't."
Though the Lightning have been the better possession team this season, and routinely outshot the Habs in their face-to-face meetings, the visitors turned the tables.
"The issue with us is we were one-and-done all the time," Cooper said of his team's scoring chances, bemoaning the fact Montreal was more effective at maintaining offensive zone time.
That might be down to the Habs' edge in experience, and Weise said the see-saw nature of this game didn't bother the veteran Montreal squad (Tampa has eight playoff rookies).
"We've got such good leaders in here. ... I've been on some good teams, in Vancouver we won the President's Trophy one year, and I think were second the next, but the leadership here is unbelievable, nobody gets fazed," he said.
Anders Lindback faced 44 Montreal shots in the defeat, while Price was confronted with a modest 25.
Just like that, the Habs, who lost home ice advantage on the final game of the season, have seized it back by ensuring a split.
The teams got off to a wary start, but the Bolts were able to open the scoring after the first outburst of strangeness: a home-ice bounce just after the midway point of the period.
Rugged defenceman Radko Gudas stepped up into the slot to fire a wicked shot that zipped over Price's outstretched glove, slammed into the glass and fell kindly for rookie Cedric Paquette, playing in just his third NHL game.
Earlier in the day, Paquette talked about growing up as a Habs fan in the Gaspe region of eastern Quebec, and how he had hoped Montreal would draft him in 2012 (he was snapped up by the Lightning in the fourth round).
"It's a great opportunity for me to make them pay," he told The Canadian Press.
So the 20-year-old did just that, firing a pass to J.T. Brown in the corner, whose feed to Nikita Kucherov in the low slot was steered past Price by the Russian rookie.
The home crowd's euphoria was short-lived – chants of "U-S-A" were interrupted just 19 seconds later when the Habs used a long-bomb play to spring Tomas Plekanec, who got Gudas to bite on a fake, and then snapped a wrist shot high to the glove side that got past Lindback.
With 13:24 gone in the second, Tampa sniper Steven Stamkos bustled up the right side and gathered in a feed from teammate Mike Kostka, then made a mockery of Brandon Prust's attempt to slow him down, treating it with approximately the contempt a Formula One car shows turn one.
Alexei Emelin came over to try and cover, but Stamkos had all the opening he needed – world-class player sent world-class wrist shot past world-class goaltender's far side.
The Habs surely thought they'd tied the game a few seconds later – as they had done earlier in the game – but Tomas Plekanec's shot clanked off Anders Lindback's right-hand post.
Montreal captain Brian Gionta would tie the game on a short-handed breakaway set up by linemate Lars Eller's clever pass off the boards; his initial shot at Lindback's glove hand was catchable, but wasn't caught, and Gionta gathered his rebound and scored.
In the third, Eller staked Montreal to a 3-2 lead when his shot eluded Lindback's glove – and Tampa replied within two minutes when Killorn (who grew up in Montreal's western suburbs) gobbled up a Prust turnover and scored past a surprised Price.
Again Montreal grabbed the lead on a gorgeous David Desharnais feed that Thomas Vanek chipped home, and again Tampa replied when Killorn stormed past Mike Weaver to set up a two-on-one, faking a shot and passing to Stamkos, who netted his second of the game.
At least that part of this game followed the usual script.Report Typo/Error

Sea Pines Resort plans to build new clubhouse
The Sea Pines Resort in Hilton Head, S.C., has unveiled plans to build a new clubhouse serving its Heron Point and Ocean golf courses. Sea Pines is, of course, home to the famed Harbour Town Golf Links (host venue of the PGA Tour's RBC Heritage) as well as Heron Point and the Ocean Course.
With completion slated for late 2013, the 16,000-square-foot clubhouse will reside on the site of the current Plantation Club. Among its planned amenities are an expansive pro shop; bar and grill; 2,000 square feet of meeting and event space; and spacious new locker rooms.
"The new clubhouse and our other resort enhancements continue our quest to remain one of the world's most distinguished resorts," said Sea Pines Resort President Steve Birdwell. "We continually seek ways to provide an extraordinary experience for our members and guests."
The new clubhouse follows several revitalization projects at the acclaimed Lowcountry destination including interior updates to the Harbour Town Conference Center; new cart paths on the Harbour Town Golf Links; and marsh restoration off the shore of the famed 18th hole of Harbour Town. Plans have also been finalized for a new Sea Pines Resort Fitness Center to be located at the Shops at Sea Pines Center.

Former Florida governor Jeb Bush says Sunshine State Sen. Marco Rubio would be the best vice presidential candidate to run with Mitt Romney.
In an interview with the conservative website Newsmax, Bush, the son of one former president and the brother of another, said, "I am a great admirer of Mitt Romney's and I'm a huge fan of Marco Rubio's, and I think the combination would be extraordinary."
Rubio has said on several occasions that he is not interested in the vice presidential nomination, but he mains a top choice among Republicans in national polls. Bush said, "Among many great candidates for vice-president, I think Marco's probably the best."
Bush has been considered a possible VP pick for Romney but he downplayed his own candidacy. "Well, I'd consider it, but I doubt I'll get a call, and I don't know if it's the right thing for me to do," he told Newsmax. "I didn't run for president for a similar kind of reason, so I'm all in to try to help him get elected."
Other people Bush said would make good candidates: Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels.

Learning About PregnancyBecoming pregnant can be a much like a roller coaster ride for many women. For some women it's as simple as throwing away their contraception. For others, it isn't that easy. Becoming pregnant depends on many different factors. Some of those factors include age, the presence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), or other conditions like a tilted uterus or irregular ovulation. For some women, getting pregnant requires undergoing fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization. Whatever way it happens, becoming pregnant is a life changing event. For women that are planning on becoming pregnant, a trip to the doctor for a check-up and advice can be an invaluable tool. A doctor will be able to answer all types of questions regarding ovulation, stopping birth control, and the signs and symptoms of pregnancy.

Being Pregnant
Whether a pregnancy was planned or a complete surprise, it can evoke many feelings - ranging from complete awe to absolute fear. Lifestyle choices, eating habits and sleeping habits suddenly seem to change in what seems to be the blink of an eye, and women start to realize that the new life inside of them is going to create huge amounts of change - not only during the 40 weeks of pregnancy, but for the rest of their lives. Being pregnant can be a joyful time, but it also has its share of stressful moments. Morning sickness, frequent urination and odd cravings can be a little overwhelming as hormones rage during the first trimester. The second trimester is usually a little bit easier, with hormones leveling out as the body gradually adjusts to the expanding uterus as the baby grows. The third trimester means more trips to the doctor, especially as the due date nears. As the uterus expands and the baby gets larger, many women notice stretch marks. They occur because of the vast amount of stretching the skin does during pregnancy. Avoiding stretch marks might not be possible, but some women find that using certain lotions may help minimize the appearance of them.

Considerations During Pregnancy
During a pregnancy, there are many considerations for women to think about. Questions about over the counter drugs, prescription drugs, traveling and other medical procedures arise. Alcohol and certain foods should be avoided during pregnancy. Taking prenatal vitamins and eating a balanced diet are both important while pregnant. Getting blood tests to look for certain diseases and conditions of the mother and the fetus is also a top consideration during pregnancy. The sex of a baby can be determined at approximately 20 weeks via an ultrasound. When specific risk facotrs are present an amneocentesis may be performed in order to determine the presence of medical conditions or chromosomal abnormalities. Other considerations during pregnancy are making sure to get enough rest and not to let stress levels get out of control. Most women work throughout their pregnancy, and many work up until delivery, depending on how they feel and the type of job they have.

Giving Birth & Postpartum Issues
Giving birth and postpartum issues are at the forefront of every pregnancy. Choosing a birthing class, learning the signs of labor, and questions about delivery are all factors that pregnant women deal with.Most of the time labor begins on it's own endign in vaginal birth. But in certain cases labor may be induced or a ceasarean may be performed for medical reasons. The process of delivery is painful, so choosing to get an epidural is at the top of the list for some women. Using breathing and relaxation techniques that are taught in birthing classes can help women remain calm during labor and delivery. Putting in place a birthing plan can be an option, but doing so doesn't necessarily mean that all will go according to plan! Speaking with the doctor beforehand about an episiotomy and other circumstances that occur during delivery is usually a good idea.

Science conferences can make a person want to do a variety of things: talk, think, fall asleep.
But the one I attended on Tuesday made me want to do something else entirely: bike the Bayview Extension. Uphill. Which I did.
This week, scientists from around the world gathered at the University of Waterloo to discuss overlapping findings about the health effects of space flight and of aging.
What do astronauts have in common with old people? Good question.
Researchers have assembled a body of literature that demonstrates how living in space mimics the effects of aging in the body. Standing up on Earth, gravity creates greater pressure in the legs than the head. But in the microgravity of space, the body basically thinks it's lying down all the time. As a result, astronauts return home with the problems of older, less active people: stiffer arteries, frailer bones, and weaker hearts.
Examining these overlapping health concerns can benefit both gerontologists and space scientists. If we ever want to send humans to Mars, for example, we will have to figure out how to keep them healthy for a multi-year flight.
What does any of this have to do with biking up the Bayview Extension? Also a good question.
As western lifestyles have become increasingly sedentary, a lot of those same health problems apply to the rest of us. Sitting, space, senescence: to your body, it's all the same thing.
Take bone marrow, for example.
Guy Trudel is a professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at the University of Ottawa. As Trudel explained at the conference, bone marrow is the birth place of red and white blood cells, which do lots of crucial things, like fight infection. When we are born, all of our marrow is the "red" kind, which produces blood cells. But as we age, more and more of that marrow is converted to the "yellow" kind, which is made of fat.
Health problems associated with increased "yellow" versus "red" marrow include anemia, susceptibility to infection, and thrombosis (blood clots). Those are all problems associated with aging too – and with space flight, though no one has ever measured the fatty tissue in post-flight astronaut bone marrow.
But bed rest studies, in which otherwise healthy adults are confined to a bed for weeks or months at a time, have also found that the ratio of fat in bone marrow accelerates during a period of inactivity. After two months of bed rest, one study found, the fat in participants' bone marrow was 25 times what it should be: 60 days of inactivity made the marrow look four years older.
Presenter after presenter came to the same conclusion. "Physical activity is key. That is the message today," said George Heckman of the University of Waterloo's Research Institute for Aging, one of the first speakers on Tuesday.
Bones are another interesting area of study. Astronauts who return from space have more bone loss than post-menopausal women.
Astronauts aboard the ISS, like Chris Hadfield, were given a new exercise machine after the last one failed to prevent bone loss. After returning to earth, astronauts are usually able to regain all of what they lost with exercise. But the bone mineral density, a key factor in bone health, doesn't necessarily improve.
A bed rest study showed that after four months of inactivity, bone mass was unchanged. But the structure of the bone – its biomechanical competence – was compromised.
Another presenter talked about lower back pain. More than two-thirds of astronauts report lower back pain in space. That might be partly because the spine doesn't compress during the day and stretch out at night, like usual: astronauts gain 4 to 6 centimeters of height after prolonged space flight, rather than the 1 to 2 centimeters we gain overnight on Earth.
But inactivity probably also plays a role. Discs in the back are the largest avascular tissue of the body: they don't have any blood vessels, and rely on the tiny vessels in the surrounding tissue. Smokers have higher incidence of lower back pain, as do highly sedentary people.
There is almost certainly a cardiovascular role in lower back pain, said Alan Hargens, a researcher from the University of California San Diego. While surgery doesn't usually help, exercise and massage are two of the best solutions.
Obviously, sitting at a desk for eight hours a day isn't quite the same as lying down for two weeks, or floating around in the ISS for several months.
But if you're sitting down reading this, isn't biking up the Bayview Extension starting to seem like a really good idea?

Or search Amazon.com for books related to GLBT people and Christianity.
Other Articles By John Campbell:
Christians who believe in the concept of "love the sinner, hate the sin" may, in fact, "mean well." However, in most cases, I have seen it used as a very cleverly disguised way to preach intolerance, homophobia, and a way to deliberately create internalized shame within LGBT people in an attempt to make them feel distant to God.
From my own personal experience, I can say that I used to spend hours in chat rooms and conversations among fundamentalists, attempting to stand my ground. And it led to nothing other than frustration and often anger, an emotion that hurts me to even feel. But after a while, I tried a different approach, and began to frequent environments where there were other kindred spirits as myself, who were hungry and thirsty to embrace the Loving God and Christ that my faith is based upon.

The third installment of the dramedy movie series has not been confirmed yet, but director Michael Patrick King would love to shoot the movie in England.
After picking Abu Dhabi as the set for "Sex and the City 2", director Michael Patrick King comes out with an idea to take Carrie Bradshaw and her friends to another country should the next film is made. Speaking to Mirror, the show's creator says that he would love to film "Sex and the City 3" in London, England.
"We will come to the U.K., I promise. If this film ['Sex and the City 2'] does well then London is definitely the venue for us," Michael says at the after-party for 'Sex and the City 2' London premiere. Offering an explanation for the possible plot of the third film, he reveals, "At one point Carrie was going to move over to London for a work assignment anyway."
Crediting British people for their support to "Sex and the City 2", the 55-year-old filmmaker states, "We all see it as our spiritual home for the show. The support from the fans has been wild and we'd love to come here and film." He is also optimist that there will be another sequel for "Sex and the City" although it has not been confirmed, saying "Obviously we'll have to see how we do this time around, but I'm hoping the third will happen."
Echoing King's hope is one of the lead actresses Kim Cattrall. Speaking to MTV, the depicter of Samantha Jones has previously said, "I don't know if there will be a third. I hope there will be. I think there's more stories to be told. That's totally his [Michael's] call."
She added, "Well, I think the only way it will continue is if Michael feels there's more to be said. I think once we start repeating ourselves, it's time to say goodbye. Maybe that's in five years, maybe that's in 10. Who knows? I hope we can do it for as long as the audience is there and the characters are interesting and growing and changing."
The latest installment of the drama comedy film series, "Sex and the City 2", has just been debuted in the U.S. on May 27. The film follow Carrie Bradshaw and her three best friends who have a vacation in the sandy country while they are finding themselves in-and fighting against-the traditional roles of marriage, motherhood and more.

Simulating the impact of policy upon chronic and transitory poverty in rural Pakistan
Anti-poverty programmes often seek to improve their impact by targeting households for assistance according to welfare measures in a single time period. However, a growing literature shows the importance to poor households of fluctuations in their welfare from month to month and year to year. This study uses a five-year panel of 686 households from rural Pakistan to investigate the magnitude of chronic or transitory poverty making an explicit adjustment for measurement error. The impact of two types of policies (those designed to 'smooth' incomes and those designed to promote income growth) on the severity of chronic and transitory poverty is examined. Since the largest part of the squared poverty gap in our sample is transitory, large reductions in poverty can be achieved by interventions designed to 'smooth' incomes, but reducing chronic poverty in the long-term requires large and sustained growth in household incomes. The level and variability of incomes is then modelled as a function of household characteristics, education and assets. The resulting model of the income generation process is used to simulate the impact that a range of transfer and investment policies would have upon chronic and transitory poverty.

Luxembourg Will Implement Amended UCITS Directive
Washington, DC, January 21, 3002 - Luxembourg has adopted a new law implementing the amended UCITS Directive, which became effective on January 1, 2003.
The law implements amendments to the UCITS Directive that:
- provide UCITS funds with greater flexibility in the types of investments that they may make, and
- require UCITS funds to use a simplified prospectus, impose requirements on management companies of UCITS funds, and provide a limited "passport" for management companies to operate throughout the European Union.
The UCITS Directive will supersede the existing law governing UCITS on February 13, 2007. From January 1, 2003 until February 13, 2007, the two laws relating to UCITS funds will coexist. The parallel regime permits existing UCITS funds and certain UCITS funds created before February 13, 2004 to benefit from the European passport established under a 1998 law until those funds take advantage of the new European passport under the amended UCITS Directive. The UCITS Directive includes transitional provisions for both UCITS funds and management companies.

Secrets can be empowering. Join the PostSecrets discussion on Jan. 28 in the ASI Diversity Center. (Photo: ASI)
Share your PostSecrets on Jan. 28
- January 24, 2013 5:00am
Some people have bullies in middle or high school. I've had the same bully for 22 years. Thanks, Mom.
I hate my daughter for ruining my life. I'm a teen mom.
I'm learning to love my scars because they remind me of how far I have come since my accident.
These are submissions to PostSecret, an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard. Cal State East Bay will host a PostSecret event from 3 to 5 p.m. Jan. 28 in the ASI Diversity Center.
Because shared secrets are meant to be empowering both to the author and to those who read it, the CSUEB Diversity Center will use this event to encourage a dialogue about the issues students face — with an emphasis on mental health issues — create an open and safe forum for students to express their secrets, regrets, fears, desires, and talents, and let students know they are not alone and that they should speak up and reach out for help if needed.
PostSecret creator Frank Warren claims that the postcards are inspirational to those who read them, have healing powers for those who write them, give hope to people who identify with a stranger's secret, and create an anonymous community of acceptance.
Email the ASI Diversity Center at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 510-885-3908 for more information.

By Mark Phelan, USA TODAY and the Detroit Free Press
What's the break-even point when you buy a hybrid? How long do you have to own a hybrid, and how far must you drive one, before the money you save on fuel offsets the additional cost?
A new website from the U.S. Department of Energy has some surprising answers to those questions.
"Hybrids have moved from the early-adopter stage to the mainstream," said Bo Saulsbury, a researcher at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and one of the people who created the comparison website. "We thought it was important to give people a tool to figure out if they're worth the cost. A hybrid won't always pay for itself, but some will."
The website, fueleconomy.gov, shows how much a hybrid adds to the sticker price vs. a comparably equipped model, how much money it will save every year, and how long it takes to repay the initial cost.
The higher gasoline costs go, the quicker the payback for all hybrids:
The Buick LaCrosse and Lincoln MKZ hybrids pay for themselves in the first year. They have the same MSRP and better fuel efficiency than V-6 versions of the same cars.
The Cadillac Escalade hybrid, which was initially belittled for its 21 mpg combined city/highway fuel economy rating, pays for itself in a mere 2.1 years.
The much-less-expensive Kia Optima hybrid won't break even for 4.9 years, according to the website. That's because the Escalade's 6-mpg fuel economy improvement from the base model's 15 mpg is a bigger deal percentage-wise than the Optima's jump from 28 mpg to 37 mpg.
The Kia's $2,500 cost increase is also a much greater proportion of its sticker price than the Escalade's $2,175 rise.
"Sometimes, the most bang for the buck is in big vehicles," Saulsbury said.
The website calculator compares hybrids with their conventionally powered counterparts.
For instance, it compares the fuel cost for a Honda Civic to a Honda Civic EX-L, the most similarly equipped non-hybrid Honda builds.
Not every comparison is that exact -- the Honda CR-Z is compared to a Honda Fit, for instance -- but the DOE found the closest match possible for 18 popular hybrids.
Go to the website tab labeled "Advanced fuels and vehicles." From that pull-down menu, click on "Hybrids can save you money."
The website doesn't make projections for hybrids if a brand doesn't offer an equivalent conventional model. That means there's no information on the Lexus CT 200h, because the hybrid is the only hatchback and only compact in Lexus' lineup.
The site also omits hybrids for which the payback period is more than six years. Plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles aren't on the list, but may be added as they become more common.
The big winners in terms of quick payback seem to be vehicles that keep costs low by limiting the hybrid system's power and luxury models that already cost so much adding the hybrid doesn't have much impact on the original price.
You can change the number of miles driven, percentage of highway vs. city driving and fuel costs to reflect your driving habits, or how much you expect fuel prices to rise.
The DOE plans to update the site as new models become available and to reflect changing fuel prices.

Hi all,
Ok long story short, my bridesmaids will be wearing deep purple dresses, as on the pic.
Ive always had bright red hair, but im getting a lot of pressure from family/friends to tone it down a bit for the wedding as red will clash with the purple, and in this case I agree. But i've just been going through lots of old pics and i much prefer how i look with red. At the same time I dont want to lower the tone of the wedding pics etc etc.
Anyways opinions much appreciated!
My best friend had this to she had purple hair and the groom and bright red.
they ignored everyone and looked fab. Even in the pictures they look like "them"
if you want red hair. Have it. :)
I really can't see it will matter... unless you're planning on passing out drunk into a BM's lap... that could lower the tone of the photos and give people ample time for ccolour critique!
Even so, here are a couple of random google image girls, looking rather lovely in a purple / red hair way...
first of all, your username is the best! (and I'm pegging on her taking the throne at the end of the books) and i dont think it'll be an issue. i think sometimes people can get hung up on the details too much.
Married 7th march 2014! R&R Bride wedding report here
Firstly, no spoilers on the books please, only on the third and am also rooting for Khaleesi!
Anyway, I wouldn't tone your hair down for photos, if it's characteristic of you that's even better, you'll love it afterwards. One thing I notice people love about their photos is that they love how "them" it is, it feels real and unique. That's what really matters. You want to look like you in your own wedding pics :)

Fun, relaxed, candid wedding photography!
My sister is ginger and we had dark purple BM dresses - it looked really nice on her!
I would tell them to jog on. Your hair not theirs.
"I'm a bitter old married. I skulk around weddings forums drinking wine and dispensing bad advice." JBTS- 2012
Bitter, blunt , second best and slightly scary- whats not to love?
I agree, You do what you like with your hair! :)
If you like it red have it red ;-) its your big day and you need to feel your best ;-)
My Wedding Blog: Wedding Gossip!
Okays thanks for the feedback everyone, you have made me feel much better about being myself on the wedding day, I havent coloured my hair for a while but im looking forward to doing it again and going back to the old me! :)
And dont worry i wont give any GOT spoilers!
Just want to say that I agree with everyone else. And honestly I do think that purple clothes and red hair look nice together. Also just from the pic you've shown, the cello is reddish and looks lovely with the dress
Hi, my colour is cadbury purple and currently both my BM have red hair, they have thought about changing it for the wedding because they feel it clashes. I am a strong believer in people being themselves and I am not resally fussed what colour they have their hair. In your case you are not the one wearing the purple dress so I would just say, be yourself and be red!!

It's them wearing the purple, not you...
I had reddish hair as a bridesmaid in lilac, which I thought clashed but the bride wasn't bothered in the slightest!
Don't worry about it - you need to look like you...
My bridesmaid dresses are dark purple, my sister was blonde when they were bought and just dyed her hair red. We went in to collect the dresses (and tried them on) and I was then worried it would clash but looked nice so im happy x
My BMs are in purple, and I have red hair!

36-757: Advanced Data Analysis I, Spring 2012Time/Place TR 1:30PM-2:50PM, Porter Hall A20
Website: http://www.stat.cmu.edu/~acthomas/757/.
Instructor: Andrew C. Thomas (acthomas -at- stat.cmu.edu). Office Hours: By appointment.
Past guidelines for the ADA project.
Advanced Data Analysis (ADA) is a two-semester Ph.D. level research seminar that supports completion of the ADA research project. During 36-757, you will identify an ADA project for yourself, assemble an ADA committee, and take initial steps toward organizing and solving the problem(s) presented in your project. The ADA project is an extended project in applied statistics, done in collaboration with an investigator from outside the Department, under the guidance of a faculty committee, culminating in a publishable paper that is presented orally and in writing in 36-758.
The ADA project, including both oral and written components, is one of the qualifying examinations for the Ph.D. in Statistics. It is aimed at getting students an in-depth cross-disciplinary research experience, with emphasis on the role of statistics in solving a scientific, technological, or policy problem. The department guidelines for the ADA project are listed in this document.
I will make available on the course website the following items:
- A course schedule with major deadlines, class meeting dates, class cancellations, makeup dates, etc. Please check this schedule regularly:
- Several classes will be cancelled either because I will be out of town or because we don't need all the class meeting times.
- Some "makeup" classes will need to be scheduled because one student is not able to attend class at the regular meeting time.
- Deadlines, milestones, activities for class, etc., will be listed on the course schedule as well.
- Online handouts relevant to general class discussions;
- Other materials that we may wish to share about your specific projects.
The role of the ADA instructor is to fulfill these functions:
- To ensure that you have a research project, commmittee, and data, that will lead to a successful ADA presentation and paper in the fall.
- To arrange for you to give oral and written presentations on your project, that move the project forward and provide you with useful feedback.
- To advise you about general issues that arise, from presentation to statistical methodology.
A tentative list of deadlines and dates:
- Tuesday January 24: A 1-to-3 page description of your project, including your committee members (internal and external) with contact information, the source of your data, and when you can expect to take possession of the data.
- Tuesday January 31: You should have access to your data, if only enough to get a handle on the problem and the exploratory nature. If you cannot be guaranteed to get full access to data by January 27, you should find another project.
- Tuesday/Thursday February 7/9: First oral presentations on your project (roughly 20 minutes each) where you will describe the project and the data. Should include more than your first description, include at least one example of exploratory data analysis.-------------------------------------------------------------------
- March 22, 27, 29: Second oral presentations on your project (roughly 20 minutes each) where you will describe the methodology that you believe will be useful in your project. This will be a point for all of us to make sure that your project is feasible!
- Thursday March 29: First draft of your ADA I paper is due. This should be structured as an empirical research paper, show understanding of the subject matter itself, including how the data set was acquired and possibly pre-processed. It should include exploratory data analysis and some statistical methodology (which may be different from your "methodology" talk.)
- April 24, 26, May 1, 3: Final oral presentations for ADA I, detailing your progress to this point, highlighting features of your earlier draft and any improvements that have been made since then.
- Thursday May 10: Final ADA I paper due, approximately 10 pages. This is expected to be a substantial refinement of the draft paper due in March, and include a plan for your work over the summer and in ADA II.
Your Responsibilities:
Last updated: January 13, 2012.
- Complete all the milestones on time.
- Attend all classes (and prepare for classes as appropriate) unless you have been specifically excused by me.
- Participate in class discussions, give feedback to your fellow speakers.
- Strive for excellence in all the activities we will undertake in the seminar.

AACN Partners with Brookdale Senior Living to Advance the CNL Role
Press Release
For Immediate Release
AACN Partners with Brookdale Senior Living to Implement
CMMI Health Care Innovations Challenge Grant
Initiative Aims to Decrease Avoidable Hospitalizations for Older Adults
Through the Use of Clinical Nurse Leaders
WASHINGTON, D.C., September 6, 2012 – The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) applauds the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) for awarding a $7.3 million Health Care Innovations Challenge grant to Brookdale Senior Living (BSL) to advance the Care Transitions Program. This visionary new initiative, which involves a partnership between BSL and the University of North Texas Health Sciences Center, hinges on the use of Clinical Nurse Leaders (CNLs) to lower readmission rates at skilled nursing facilities in Texas and Florida.
"As experts in care coordination and quality improvement, Clinical Nurse Leaders are uniquely qualified to enhance patient outcomes across practice settings," said AACN President Jane Kirschling, DNS, RN, FAAN. "AACN commends Brookdale Senior Living for its ground-breaking efforts to enhance the care of older adults and improve patient outcomes using CNLs."
The Clinical Nurse Leader is a fast emerging nursing role developed by AACN in collaboration with leaders from education and practice to improve the quality of patient care and better prepare nurses to thrive in today's healthcare system. These master's-prepared clinicians put evidence-based practice into action to ensure that patients benefit from the latest innovations in care delivery. The CNL evaluates patient outcomes, identifies risk, coordinates care, and implements quality improvement strategies.
For the CMMI grant, AACN collaborated with Brookdale Senior Living and the University of North Texas Health Science Center on a proposal to expand and test BSL's Care Transitions Program. The program's goal is to prevent the progress of disease, thereby reducing complications, improving care, and reducing the rate of avoidable hospital admissions for older adults. The BSL Care Transitions program is based on INTERACT (Interventions to Reduce Acute Care Transfers), a series of evidence-based tools developed by geriatrician Joseph Ouslander, MD, and colleagues for reducing avoidable readmissions for residents in skilled nursing facilities. The tool will be modified and applied in assisted and independent living facilities as well as home care settings. Expected savings over the three-year grant period are estimated at more than $9 million.
"The sooner a health issue can be identified, the sooner the intervention can be initiated, which improves the odds of a positive health outcome for our residents," said Brookdale's Chief Medical Officer Kevin O'Neil, MD "The key to quality in health care is consistency, and this tool has been instrumental in giving physicians a quality assessment of a resident's health and preventing unnecessary hospitalizations."
To support this initiative, AACN will work with BSL leadership to engage CNLs in redesigning care transition processes, evaluating care outcomes, and implementing quality improvement initiatives. The CNLs will also oversee the training of care transition managers in the long-term care settings. This grant will give the association an opportunity to evaluate the impact of CNLs on care coordination, recidivism, and care transitions as this role continues to evolve across settings.

Rat Racer Ride
Last couple of weeks Ive been helping out at stratons work AV2hire. Riding the 8 freight bikes around London. The boss david is a rad dude with some sweet ideas, check out this bass cannon he tows on a trailer.
He was telling me about how the 8 freight is designed by Mike Burrows the guy responsible for this oarsome bike
He also designed this rad recumbent called the ratracer!
It was really nice to ride and has loads of really interesting design features
Heres Straton discussing the advantages of monoblade forks and the importance of colour coordination
He also recommends taking your wallet out of your front pocket before you ride.
Anyway heres a vid about Burrow's laid back bikes
Mike Burrows shows his bikes off from recumbent rider on Vimeo.

Lucky me, I went to my LFS today and found some YoYo loaches for really cheap. $2 a head!! Needless to say I now have the four YoYo's in my little tank. They are cute little (3 inch) devils. I am thinking about putting them in with my clowns. Out of curiosity, will they establish a pecking order with the clowns??

I might have mentioned before that my day job is actually writing a weekly column for ICIS Chemical Business magazine, and one of my market coverages involves chlor-alkali (the production of chlorine and caustic soda).
US chlor-alkali producer Olin announced in early December that it is exiting the use of mercury cell technology by the end of 2012 by closing its 100,000 ton/year Augusta, Georgia chlor-alkali production facility as well as converting its 260,000 ton/year Charleston, Tennessee, production from mercury cell to using membrane cell technology.
Olin said the Charleston plant will employ the most modern membrane technology which would result in lower operating costs and higher quality products produced.
"Over the past eighteen months we have experienced a steady increase in the number of our customers unwilling to accept our products manufactured using mercury cell technology. The conversion of the Charleston facility, which in addition to hlorine and caustic soda also produces potassium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, and bleach, will prevent the potential loss of these valuable customers."
Chlor-alkali producers currently use either mercury cell, diaphragm cell, or the more recently developed ion exchange membrane process. Within the past 3 years, the green blog previously reported about several chlor-alkali producers ceasing the use of mercury cell-based technology and transitioning to membrane cell technology instead.
The blog posted in 2008 about OxyChem's decision to be the first mercury-free caustic potash producer in North America by ceasing all of its mercury cell based production in the region and converting its chlor-alkali plant at Taft, Louisiana into using membrane cell technology.
Early this year, we posted Bayer MaterialScience's press release about a new chlorine production developed in collaboration with engineering company Uhde that is said to be more eco-friendly than the traditional membrane cell technology. Somebody from DuPont (or is it Dow? I forgot…) questioned how eco-friendly this new process can be. Unfortunately the only answer I can say based on the press release is that it is said to result in a 30% lower electricity consumption compared to traditional membrane cell technology.
ICB published a very interesting article in September about the move of Western chlor-alkali companies to membrane cell from mercury cell technology because of 1) regulatory pressures, 2) rising maintenance costs for outdated mercury cell plants, 3) membrane conversion will reportedly help producers save 20-30% in electricity costs, and boost output by more than 30% compared to mercury cell plants.
According to industry analysts, electricity is the largest cost factor in chlor-alkali production typically accounting for 40-50% of costs.
While the ICB article mostly reported about European legislation pressures, in North America there is also pending potential mercury legislation in Congress, which would require chlor-alkali producers to either shut down their mercury cell plants by mid 2013 or convert to other technologies by mid-2015.
This decision has to be made by mid-2012 under the bill H.R. 2190, which is still waiting to be approved by both the House and the Senate. Mercury cell chlor-alkali capacity including those of Olin's, are estimated at 474,000 short tons or 3% of total US chlor-alkali capacity.

Recently, a local storeowner phoned our dispatcher to complain about the poor concrete he recently purchased for his exterior sidewalk. His complaint was that the surface was unduly rough and blotchy.
When we investigated the complaint, we determined that the storeowner had purchased the concrete through the concrete contractor as part of an "add-on" project to a large city curb-and-gutter improvement project.
Since we really didn't sell the concrete to the storeowner, what information can we show the storeowner to prove that their claim should be directed toward the contractor's poor workmanship? I've enclosed photos of the job.
We've shown the photos of the problem to several producers. They all agree that the problems are caused by the contractor. One related that in a similar circumstance, the storeowner contacted the city's engineering office to solicit help. It turned out that the project was placed on the city's right-of-way, and in an effort to make the local storeowner happy, the engineer refused to accept the product due to the surface blemishes. The contractor subsequently tore out the poorly finished concrete and replaced it with higher quality work.
The photos you submitted are textbook examples of common surface defects for which producers must have an explanation.
From photo A, it appears that the concrete may have been placed just before it rained, with the plastic cover still on the ground near the new concrete. Many of the defects may be due to the finisher's haste to quickly complete the job.
Several of the blemishes in photos Band C suggest that someone walked on the plastic cover just after the broom finish. Or perhaps the weight of gathered rainwater put the cover in direct contact with the just finished concrete surface, and some of the paste adhered to the plastic and was removed with the cover.
The blotches found along the lower control joint in photo D may have been caused by a finisher walking along the next pour segment, or from splatter that occurred during concrete placement.
In this circumstance, it's apparent that the contractor should accept the responsibility of a poorly finished slab and find a way to settle with the storeowner.
Several good references help in describing surface problems to contractors and contractors' customers.
Chapter 11 of ACI 302, "Guide for Concrete Floor and Slab Construction," explains the causes of floor and slab surface imperfections.
Surface Defects in Concrete (3910) and Placing, Finishing & Curing Concrete (1030) are both Hanley-Wood, LLC, publications that use collections of articles from Concrete Construction magazine to explain how to prevent these types of surface defects. Both of these publications can be found at the Hanley-Wood Bookstore by logging on to www.hwbookstore.com.

Was never fond of the aroma, myself... and corned beef is no better.
However, though not old, Prometheus should be considered a classic... I never saw that coming... meaning the ending. Won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it by saying what it was. Let's just say it was 'bloomin' marvelous' [quote from 'My Fair Lady']
A couple of nights ago I watched Sink the Bismarck! A classic 1960 B&W film.
Geez, that was a while ago! I remember watching that with my dad one Wintery November night in 1969 in Galmpton Village Devon, just before we moved to Australia. It brings back fond memories, not just of my dad but the of countryside, the villages and the people. Yeah, they were good times, good places. We used to live in Churston Village but swapped houses with my grandmother prior to emigrating because Galmpton was/is hilly and she needed somewhere flatter [which Churston was/is] after having a hip replacement and knee surgery.
.... an' I still misses that thar scrumpy wot we used ter down by tha bucketful.... oooh arrr!
Err... if it's a classic if it's older than 20 yrs then: STAR WARS !!! ( the original one)
Apart form that:
Operation Petticoat
Blade Runner
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
The Sting
Life of Brian
Murder by Death
Young Frankenstein
The Pink Panther
The Omen (Still gives me the creeps)
Planet of the Apes
Ocean's Eleven (the original)
A Shot in the Dark
The Wizard of Oz wayyy before my time yet i still loved it as a kid ^^
Forgot Escape from NY ...
Yeah, it's a classic. I first saw it at the age of four, in its original television broadcast here in the US (1956). I remember sitting in a large chair with a bowl of buttered noodles in my lap (favorite dish at the time; it's funny what you recall), and enjoying the film a lot. Course, it was all black and white, with none of the color added to the fantasy content.
Gone with the Wind
All Woody Allen and Hitchcock movies
Army of Darkness
Alien, Aliens
Hell we've gotten to the point where 80's films are now "classic"
Back to the future I and III (II sucked ass)
Star Trek 1, 2, 3, and 4
Star Wars Trilogy
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Terminator
Ferris Beuller's Day off
The Color Purple
I'm also a great fan of the real classics like the before mentioned:
Arsenic and Old Lace
It's a wonderful life
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
The Wizard of Oz
The Day the earth stood still
and many more......

Welcome to Tuesday's Morning Mashup. For the latest news, start at our WEEI.com home page [1] or click here for the top stories from our news wire [2].
NBA: Raptors at Thunder, 8 p.m. (NBA Network)
College football: Ball State at Toledo, 8 p.m. (ESPN2)
UEFA Champions League soccer: Manchester City vs. Ajax, 2:30 p.m. (FSC)
'¦ The Sporting News conducted a midseason poll of 103 NFL players from 27 teams to determine the most overrated coach in the league [3]. Much to Patriots fans' delight, coming in at No. 1, named on 35 ballots, is Jets coach Rex Ryan [4]. However, in second with 16 votes is Pats boss Bill Belichick [5]. Andy Reid [6] of the Eagles is third with nine votes.
Said an anonymous AFC offensive player of Ryan: "His coaching style is over the top. Some of the things he does in front of the cameras are way over the top. You put that with the New York media and he has a pretty big reputation, I guess. I don't even know if you'd call him overrated anymore because it's going to be a couple of years since he was in the AFC finals. He's pretty funny, and he's a pretty good coach. But not THAT good."
The players also were asked which college coach they would most like to see in the NFL [7]. Alabama's Nick Saban [8], who was a flop with the Dolphins in 2005 and '06, came in at No. 1 with 32 votes, followed by Ohio State's Urban Meyer [9] (16).
'¦ Chuck Pagano, on leave from the Colts while he battles leukemia, is winning that battle [10]. Pagano's physician on Monday said that the coach's disease is in "complete remission."
Pagano, who delivered an emotional locker room speech [11] to his team after Sunday's win over the Jets in his first return to Indianapolis' Lucas Oil Stadium since his Sept. 26 diagnosis, is scheduled to start a second round of chemotherapy later this week.
"His [blood cell] count was great," interim coach Bruce Arians told reporters after Pagano visited the team complex Monday. "He knows that this next [round] is going to be really tough and we're praying for him, and he's going to be fine."
'¦ Jim Durham, who was ESPN Radio's top play-by-play caller for NBA games, died Sunday at his home in suburban Houston [12] at the age of 65. Durham, who had broadcast games for ESPN since 1996, called the Celtics [13]' season-opening loss to the Heat last Tuesday.
The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame's Curt Gowdy Media Award winner last year, Durham called Bulls games on radio and television from 1973-91 among his other jobs.
"The voice of champions," Michael Jordan [14] texted to ESPN. "I will miss him."
'¦ This being election day, Yahoo! Sports has a list of 10 athletes who could be president [15]. Among the names: Drew Brees [16], Jeremy Roenick [17], Magic Johnson [18], Tim Tebow [19], Derek Jeter [20] and Laila Ali.
ON THIS DAY TRIVIA: On Nov. 6, 1976, the Red Sox [21] became the first team to sign a player who declared for free agency under baseball's new contract rules. Which player signed a $1 million, four-year contract with the Sox?
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "It was ridiculous. It was something unexpected. I wasn't expecting any of this. But you know what, though? I was talking to a lot of people afterwards, and that's him. He says things that you're not prepared for." — Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz [22], on former Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine [23] criticizing him after the season
STAT OF THE DAY: 7 — Sacks of Eagles quarterback Michael Vick [24] by the Saints in Monday night's game, a 28-13 New Orleans victory [25]
'NET RESULTS: Knicks guard J.R. Smith throws down a dunk with authority during Monday night's rout of the 76ers.
And here's new Knicks forward Rasheed Wallace [26] draining a buzzer-beating 3-pointer before halftime.
TRIVIA ANSWER: Reliever Bill Campbell, who formerly pitched for the Twins
SOOTHING SOUNDS: Glenn Frey was born on this day in 1948. Here he is singing with the Eagles.
