nuno8210 replied to Preee's topic in Ford Focus GuidesI don't think you need to change oil after a static regeneration of the FAP... The oil only gets contaminated when you abort several regeneration attempts! Only when you abort the regeneration (stop the engine during a regeneration) you will have diesel from the post injection in the cylinder that will go down to the sump. As far as I understand a static regeneration will have the same results as a complete dynamic regeneration.
nuno8210 replied to Preee's topic in Ford Focus GuidesWhat about if you open the driver's door? If you pull the driver's interior lock just enought to unlock the door it should unlock all doors and boot. Auto-lock should have nothing to do with the anti-hijack function! That you can activate/de-activate with you remote. Just keep near the car and press both lock and unlock buttons. After three seconds the indicators will flash and you should de-activate or activate the anti hijack. You can repeat the procedure and it will get to the former state.

nuno8210 replied to Preee's topic in Ford Focus GuidesWhy didn't they update the HEC to a later version? 0509 is not the latest version available... The strange thing is that my HEC is on 0230 and also have that NVM EEPROM LVL 00001 FAIL but works fine... i think!
nuno8210 replied to Preee's topic in Ford Focus GuidesCan anyone tell me which are the best drivers for an USB ELM so I can update my HEC to rom 0509? I am using Windows XP 32bits and I tried to download the FTDI drivers from their website but Windows won't install the ELM with those drivers. I had to install it with Prolific drivers. Once installed I made the speed test in ELM Config and all gave me OK result. But after test was over I couldn't enter with any speed. I had to unplug the ELM and close the Elm Config and started all again. The problem is that I can only enter with 38400 speed. No other option works....
nuno8210 started following Mondeo Mk3 Auto Headlights/wipers Module
nuno8210 posted a topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubHi folks. I have a Focus Mk1 and I am retrofitting a MK3 Auto Headlights/Wipers module. Can anyone get me a wiring schematics for a Mondeo MK3 where this module is present. I have a retrofit schematic but I have some doubts because I already saw two contraditory schematics... The module I have has 14 pins and is like this one: I already saw several wirings from Autodata but I can't find this module that I believe that came with Mondeos from 2000 to 2005 at least...

nuno8210 replied to Preee's topic in Ford Focus GuidesFrom what I already saw and what I have eard the safest way is to get away from Page 3 of the HEC configuration... Even reading from unit is dangerous and you can't have a backup of that before reading it... If the battery reset doesn't work I guess the only option will be a Ford dealer to update your HEC. Let's hope that a new HEC is not necessary...
nuno8210 replied to Preee's topic in Ford Focus GuidesI used the latest ElmConfig 0.2.5 on my 2008 Focus 2.0 TDci and I am getting a strange error... I think it is a bug from the software. When I try to read from HEC in the Configuration page 3 (the page that has all the chimes...) I get an error saying that it is strongly recomended to use an USB ELM and that bluetooth modulo can damage the unit. But this page has only several boxes to tick... I click ok to continue and it tried to write something to the HEC unit but it stoped few seconds after started. Everything works fine on HEC. Is this a bug in the software? Shouldn't this page work just like the others? The only task that I didn't tried yet was the HEC firmware update because my ELM is bluetooth. I am already waiting for a USB one to do the firmware update but I didn't expect that it was also necessary for the page 3 of the HEC configuration... I already used the ElmConfig before but the older version I had didn't have that page 3...
nuno8210 replied to Preee's topic in Ford Focus GuidesIs it just me or the only thing translated to English is the Body Control Modulo (BCM)? I can only see Information and Procedures inside BCM... How can you configure anything without the Configuration tab?
nuno8210 started following Building A Pop-Up Satnav Into A Focus?
nuno8210 replied to GSM's topic in Ford Focus ClubAlready thought about it but that would not be too easy. I have a TomTom Go730 which has a mini-USB power connection on the bottom. I could easily connect a 12V power socket all the time and though in using some manual mechanism like the ones you can find on the "popup" cup holder of several cars.This way you could press is down untill the GPS remained in the lower position ans give it a push so it would "popup". But I never started to implement this as it would need to cut the dash pocket and to choose a position where the GPS fit when in the lower position. As I only use the GPS 10-15 times a year I kept this mod in stand by... Maybe if I get a spare dash pocket I will try to do this...
nuno8210 replied to Preee's topic in Ford Focus GuidesI also read it before. Unchecking the Eco Shift light box should solve the missing steering settings in the menu.
nuno8210 replied to Preee's topic in Ford Focus GuidesIt will auto relock when you drive faster then the selected speed if you check the "auto relocking" box.
nuno8210 replied to Preee's topic in Ford Focus GuidesGreat news!! But that version of ELMConfig it still not fully translated to English...
nuno8210 replied to Preee's topic in Ford Focus GuidesRight. The eco-mode is only for the MK2,5. In the MK2 you can activate the instant fuel consumption and the auto door lock.
nuno8210 started following Ford Focus Mk2.5 / Playing Music Via Bluetooth (Iphone).
nuno8210 replied to RCB's topic in Ford Focus ClubIt's posible to stream music through bluetooth. If you don't have the latest firmware you might not have that option. If not then you can update it with a USB pen drive and then you will have that option when you press the USB/CD option.
nuno8210 replied to Preee's topic in Ford Focus GuidesThe switch must have 6 pins. It can have only 2 positions but must have two poles. You must have the can-H and can-L of the module in the middle pins and then the HS-CAN can-H and Can-L on one side and the MS-CAN CAN-H and CAN-L on the other side. If you see the electric scheme on the first post the idea is to be able to connect the module to the MS-CAN and to the HS-CAN.

Lebanon Moves to Smoke Out Drug Money
The head of Lebanon's Banking Control Commission on Monday issued a stern warning to any bank that launders money from the re-emerging hashish trade, reported the Daily Star newspaper.
"Any employee in any branch of a bank in Lebanon has become legally responsible if he accepts any transaction that is related to the sale of illicit substances," Walid Alameddine told the opening session of a 10-day course on banking supervision.
Alameddine, said the paper, was alluding to the resurgent drug-trafficking industry in the Bekaa Valley, which has heightened tensions between the government and angry farmers.
"We have heard that illicit substances are being cultivated in Lebanon. We are keen to prevent drug-trafficking from damaging the reputation of our banks," Alameddine said, stressing that banks have been given clear instructions on how to deal with any suspicious transaction.
He reminded attendants at the conference that monetary authorities still consider money laundering an illegal act.
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), part of the G-7 countries, last month kept Lebanon's name on the list of countries not cooperating to combat dirty money.
But the panel said it was satisfied with new legislation to combat money laundering.
It also said that Lebanon made significant headway in combating the problem.
Parliament has passed a law to fight money laundering. A special committee will be set up to examine complaints of dirty money activity. But the FATF wants to give Lebanon more time to implement the law before it removes its name from the list.
People convicted of money laundering will receive a prison sentence plus a large fine.
"The Central Bank and the Banking Control Commission are making sure that our banks remain immune to money laundering," Alameddine said.
Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh agreed that Lebanon had made great progress in fighting money laundering, said the paper.
"We are very serious about implementing the law for the sake of Lebanon and banking secrecy," Salameh said.
He added that the Central Bank would not accept the use of banking secrecy rules as a cover for money laundering.
Salameh said it was important to protect banks from losses not only from traditional operations, but also from their investments and other operating expenses – Albawaba.com

Injury prevention in National's line of fire
Injury prevention in National's line of fire
Health and
safety training is just the latest casualty of National's
war on injury prevention programmes, says Labour's ACC
Spokesperson Iain Lees-Galloway.
"As soon as it became the Government, National started axing prevention programmes. It began in 2009 when proven programmes to prevent elderly people having falls were scrapped.
"That was despite a review of ACC's 2008/09 investment in injury prevention which showed intervention programmes were good value for money. For every $1 invested, at least $1.12 and up to $1.23 was saved.
"Since 2008/09, funding for these high-value prevention programmes has fallen from $39.5 million to $22.4 million, a 43 per cent cut.
"This is typical of National Party governments that are only focussed on short-term cost cutting, not on long term strategies to reduce the burden of injury and disease.
"At the same time as it is cutting back on prevention, ACC is refusing to accept more claims, kicking more people off compensation and denying home help support to more of its clients.
"The agency is one of New Zealand's greatest assets, yet it has become callous under National and Kiwis are losing faith in it.
"When Labour is re-elected, we will work to restore confidence in ACC. It is a world-leading organisation, but only when it is allowed to properly carry out its function to prevent, treat and support recovery from injuries.

Tequila Daisy Cocktail Recipe
In our humble opinion the Tequila Daisy accurately captures the essence of spring—a complex pairing of tenacious tequila and sweet strawberries, that this season is full of surprises.
In our humble opinion the Tequila Daisy accurately captures the essence of spring—a complex pairing of tenacious tequila and sweet strawberries, that this season is full of surprises.
The contrast of innocence and familiarity with bold flavor makes this unique cocktail recipe a must-try for spring. Guzzlers beware, as picturesque as the pretty pink strawberry fool is, this layered drink is no dainty daiquiri and should be sipped ever so slightly.
- For Tequila Daisy Cocktail:
- 2 ounces high quality Tequila Blanco
- 1 ounce triple sec
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- For Strawberry Fool:
- 6 ounces fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
To make cocktail: Combine the tequila, triple sec and lime juice in a cocktail shaker and strain into small tumbler until glass is about half to three-quarters full. Top with a generous dollop of strawberry fool and garnish with one strawberry top.
To make fool: Combine strawberries and 1/4 cup sugar in a small saucepan, stirring until berries are well coated. Using masher or the back of a large spoon smash strawberries to a pulp, leaving only a few small chunks remain.
Place saucepan over medium-high heat and let cook, stirring constantly until just before boiling point, about 6 minutes. Stir in lemon zest and bring mixture to a full boil for about 2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
Skim any film or foam off of top of mixture and discard. Transfer syrup to a heatproof container and cool to room temperature before chilling in refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes.
In the meantime, whisk heavy cream in a large metal bowl until soft peaks form. Continuing to whisk, add remaining tablespoon of sugar to cream. Fold in vanilla extract and whisk for a few more minutes until stiff peaks form.
In a slow and steady stream pour cooled strawberry syrup into whipped cream, continuing to whisk until desired color and consistency is reached.

Ong, Wei Rex (2008) Effects of chromium addition on fatigue crack growth behavior of titanium aluminides. Masters thesis, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
Restricted to Repository staff only
PDF (Abstract)
PDF (Table Of Content)
PDF (1st Chapter)
The microstructure and fatigue crack growth behavior of various compositions of Ti-Al based intermatellics, Ti-48Al (at%), and the ternary alloys, Ti- 48Al-2Cr, Ti-48Al-4Cr and Ti-48Al-8Cr (at%) have been studied. The fatigue crack growth tests were performed on center-cracked-tension M(T) specimens at room temperature in laboratory air, subjected to a constant applied stress range 100MPa with a load ratio of minimum to maximum level, R = 0.1. It was found that the threshold of stress intensity factor range of Ti-48Al, Ti-48Al-2Cr, Ti-48Al-4Cr and Ti-48Al-8Cr are 12.0MPa v m, 9.0MPa v m, 8.0MPa v m and 4.5MPa v m respectively. The threshold of stress intensity factor range decreased with the increasing percentage of chromium added to Ti-48Al. The results also show that Ti- 48Al-2Cr has the highest fatigue crack resistance followed by Ti-48Al, Ti-48Al-4Cr and Ti48Al-8Cr. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) technique was employed to investigate the fractography of each specimen after fatigue crack growth test. Micro-indentation tests results showed increasing hardness value of Ti- 48Al alloys when the chromium content increased. The microstructures of each type of Ti-48Al alloys were examined using optical and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Finer laths of and plates in lamellar structure have been observed when the amount of chromium added in Ti-48Al increased. The effects of microstructure on fatigue crack growth of Ti-48Al alloys are discussed.

STAFF at the Princess of Wales Community Hospital in Bromsgrove recently put themselves in their patients' shoes.
As part of the NHS Change Day, a day of collective action to improve care for patients, staff at the Brook Haven unit, which is the older adult mental health service base for Bromsgrove and Redditch, used wheelchairs to see what life is like for patients who cannot walk.
Other staff members in the hospital made changes like wearing an arm sling for the day or using a crutch.
They adopted the tagline of "put yourself in their shoes".
Sally McKeag, team leader for Older Adult Mental Health in Redditch and Bromsgrove, said: "It is a chance for staff to see what it's like for patients who can't walk by spending an hour or so of their working day using a wheelchair.
"As we work with older adults, some of them have difficulty walking so our pledge came from the idea of 'putting yourself in your patients' shoes.
"I'm sure after the day we'll be even more sympathetic to our patients' needs."

4.5 stars 8 totalReview David Fish
Posted by Lauren
David has been very thorough and clear with his plan of action. He a has been an extremely calming force during a time of stress and was available when I needed him. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, honest and straightforward attorney.
Posted by Reginald
David is a great attorney. He is very helpful. When he promises to get back to you on something he does. He fights extremely hard for his client. I highly recommend him.
Posted by Joseph
Dave Fish has handled all of my company's labor and employment issues since our launch in the US. He is accessible and easy to deal with breaking things down for easy understanding. In the past three and a half years we have used him for everything from drafting and reviewing contracts and litigations to helping us solve sticky employee issues. In all instances we have been happy with the results. Highly recommend.
Posted by Colleen
David was prompt in his responses to me. He called me and we spoke in regards to my situation. He gave me clear and correct instructions on how to proceed. It was unfortunate that it turned out the suit against me (breach of contract) was filed in Texas and I had to use a Texas attorney but if the plaintiff decides to sue me in NY state, I will certainly consider using his services. I've worked in acctg & mgmt for attorney's offices for 30 years. I've worked with at least 100 attorneys in my career and I can confidently say that he is not only knowledgeable but kind and understanding in his discussions with me through an extremely difficult time. His free advice was better than what I have seen others pay for!
Posted by Eric
Mr. Fish is a lawyer who is always there for his client......I would recommend him to anyone
Posted by Elizabeth
David Fish is a wonderful lawyer, that truly wants to help people! I have been lucky to of had the privilege of working with David on many occasions. He is honest, hard working and always goes way beyond your expectations!
Posted by Laura
Mr. Fish has represented our not-for-profit organization for over 15 years. During this time he has provided legal assistance on a number of matters including, but not limited to; employment law, contracts, insurance law, landlord tenant, victims rights and family law including child protection, custody and visitation. David has always been a phone call away whenever we have needed him and is very responsive. He is extremely thorough, professional and makes an extraordinary effort to communicative issues, options and alternatives. His expertise has been a cornerstone in enhancing our ability to deliver services to the community. It is without hesitation or reservation that I would recommend Mr. Fish to anyone needing legal representation.
Posted by anonymous
I hired Attorney David Fish for an employment law issue. I placed an ad Craigslist and he answered it. I had a 90 day right to sue letter. He took the case and never contacted the other attorney. I had to call the other attorney's secretary and tell her to call him, because David Fish sent me an email saying that he is not going to "chase her." He refused to pick up the phone and make a call. He waited for the statute of limitation to expire, leaving me no time to hire another attorney. I don't recommend him. He is not an aggressive attorney.

Two policemen were killed on Friday night by several gunshots in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, by two unidentified men while they were on their day off.
According to the police report, the two died from gunshot wounds were found at around 11:30pm (local time) on a street.
The deceased is a 42-year-old police officer from Guadalajara, who was shot in the face, neck and chest, and another man also 42, was a municipal police officer from the resort town of Puerto Vallarta, who received several gunshots to the neck and chest.
Both men were enjoying their day off, as indicated by their partners who identified their bodies, and were drinking in the street when two unknown men, "without saying a word, began shooting directly at them with a firearm, and fled the scene in an unknown direction."

With Karl de Vries away on vacation, I'll do my best to fill in this Monday. So… how about those Mets? Just when Ike Davis recovered from his early-season coma, David Wright strains his hamstring and may miss the rest of the season. They sure are hapless.
Now that I've established my lack of threat to Karl's and Jack's job security, let's just move on to the wire.
Josh Willingham | Minnesota Twins | OF | 40 percent Yahoo ownership; 33 percent ESPN; 54 percent CBS
YTD: 313 PA | .220/.351/.402 with 11 HR and 1 SB
ZiPS updated: 457 PA | .226/.351/.448 with 17 HR and 2 SB
Josh Willingham was dropped in many leagues during his DL stint, and on Friday, he made it back to the Twins. In the first half, Willingham's production was down from his previous two seasons. He is hitting just .220 this season and is on pace for close to 20 home runs rather than the 29-plus he had the previous two seasons. Still, Willingham joins the short list of available players who could hit 10 home runs the rest of the way, which means he should be owned in almost every league.
The biggest culprit for Willingham's struggles this season is a spike in his infield flyball rate. He actually leads baseball at 22.6 percent, but otherwise, his walk, strikeout and flyball rates look similar to recent seasons. Willingham has never finished a full season over 15.1 percent infield flyballs, so I'm willing to write the increase off as a small sample size anomaly, even though it is a bit disconcerting to see him share that leader board with fantasy disasters including B.J. Upton, Mike Moustakas and Ike Davis.
Recommendation: Willingham should be added in even shallow mixed leagues.
Will Middlebrooks | Boston Red Sox | 3B | 27 percent Yahoo ownership; 20 percent ESPN; 41 percent CBS
YTD: 220 PA | .198/.233/.391 with 9 HR and 0 SB
ZiPS updated: 334 PA | .213/.248/.424 with 13 HR and 1 SB
Speaking of power, the Red Sox recalled Will Middlebrooks to take over third base, which was recently vacated by Jose Iglesias because of the Jake Peavy trade. Middlebrooks' .198/.233/.391 triple slash makes Willingham's season look good, but his 8.2 percent walk rate and 19.4 percent strikeout rate in Triple-A showed marked improvements from his numbers in Boston and are cause for optimism.
The Red Sox debuted Middlebrooks at ninth in their batting order, which is good and bad for owners. The bad is the decrease in opportunities for runs and RBIs, even in so potent a lineup. The good is the decrease in damage his likely low-.200s batting average will do to you in fewer at-bats. Really, home runs are the only reason to consider Middlebrooks in shallow leagues. For owners who just lost Mark Reynolds when he was designated for assignment, Middlebrooks can put up similar numbers. David Wright owners are not as fortunate.
Recommendation: Viable option for teams that need home runs in mixed leagues.
Jarrod Dyson | Kansas City Royals | OF | 1 percent Yahoo ownership; 0.4 percent ESPN; 5 percent CBS
YTD: 120 PA | .257/.319/.413 with 2 HR and 16 SB
ZiPS updated: 220 PA | .252/.312/.375
With Lorenzo Cain on the 15-day DL, Jarrod Dyson could be in line for some temporary additional playing time. For owners in need of steals, that is excellent news. Dyson has 16 stolen bases in 120 plate appearances. His 13.3 steals per 100 plate appearances trails only Rajai Davis among players with at least 100 plate appearances, and Jacoby Ellsbury at 8.1 steals per 100 plate appearances is the closest active player behind him. Even as a part-time player, Dyson can make a tremendous impact on your stolen base totals, and with a .257/.319/.413 triple slash, he won't do much damage to your other categories.
Recommendation: Temporary viable option for teams that need steals in mixed leagues.
Sonny Gray | Oakland Athletics | SP | 4 percent Yahoo ownership; 3 percent ESPN; 14 percent CBS
YTD: 10.0 IP | 1.80 ERA | 9.9 K/9 | 3.6 BB/9 with 0 wins
Of the recent prospect call-ups, Sonny Gray of the A's seems most likely to stick in the rotation for the rest of the season. With Tommy Milone struggling with his normally elite command, he could be in the minors for a little while. Gray, meanwhile, struck out just under a batter per inning in 20 starts in the minors this season, and with only 128.1 innings between Triple-A and Oakland this season, Gray does not seem like a major threat to be shut down in September.
Gray should be a source of strikeouts in all of his outings, but Oakland presents its always-enticing option to spot-start Gray in his home games. In particular, Gray appears due to face the Astros and Mariners, both at home, in his next two starts, so you definitely want to pick him up and deploy him now. If he does well in those starts, it may be an opportune time to sell him, if you can still make August trades in your leagues. The Athletics follow those series with ones against the Orioles, Rangers, Rays and Rangers.
Recommendation: Short-term spot starter in mixed leagues.

With the new CLS Shooting Brake, Mercedes-Benz is once again setting an example when it comes to creativity of design, and as such highlighting its leading role in this area: in terms of its proportions, the new CLS is quite clearly a coupé, but with five doors and a roof which continues through to the rear, it promises some remarkable new possibilities encapsulated in a stunning form. The idea of the four-door coupé – successfully introduced in 2004 with the first CLS and long imitated in the meantime – has now been taken to new heights and to innovative effect. The result is automotive independence at its most beautiful.
According to CEO Dr. Dieter Zetsche: "Any memorable machine is equal parts art and science. A car has to first deliver in function – the ticket of entry – and then in fascination: the ticket to real excitement. The CLS Shooting Brake excels on both accounts – unlike any other car in the market".
The proportions of the CLS Shooting Brake are surprising but clearly those of a coupé, and create a basic stance which makes it look ready for the off: the long bonnet, narrow-look windows with frameless side windows, and dynamic roof sloping back towards the rear. It is only when taking a second look that it becomes clear that the Shooting Break actually has five doors and offers "more" in terms of function.
In essence it represents an unprecedented version of a sports car with five seats and a large tailgate. It is a special proposition for people looking to differentiate themselves from the mainstream, and who do not wish to compromise on either sportiness or stowage space when it comes to travelling in style. The Shooting Brake is a further highlight in the innovative luxury vehicle series from Mercedes-Benz and, like the CLS Coupé, has the potential to become the role model for a new market segment.
"The CLS Shooting Brake is based on the great tradition of stylish sportiness which has always characterised Mercedes, and takes these unique icons an exciting step further", explains Gorden Wagener, Head of Design at Mercedes‑Benz. "It stands for the enhanced design idiom of Mercedes-Benz which is oriented towards aesthetic, avant-garde principles".
Exclusive innovation in the interior: wooden luggage compartment floor
The second generation of the CLS set high standards in terms of the design and quality of the interior: straightforward elegance combined with innovative details and handcrafted perfection. The Shooting Brake also applies this same aspiration in the luggage compartment. It is lined with high-quality carpet, and the hand-stitched material is also incorporated into the sideliners in conjunction with leather appointments. Optional designer loading rails made of aluminium give an even more exclusive look.
An extravagant and unique feature for the automotive industry is the designo wooden luggage compartment floor, which serves to underscore the hand-finished nature of the interior. Cherry tree wood is a classic among fine wood species and contrasts perfectly with the inlaid smoked oak and aluminium rails. This affords the luggage compartment a touch of elegance normally found on yachts, combined with the exciting worlds of technology and precision craftsmanship.
The CLS coupé already set new standards in interiors with its wide variety of individualisation options. The Shooting Brake also offers five interior colours, five trim designs and also three qualities of leather to choose from. Customers have a choice of three exclusive wood types: high-gloss brown burr walnut, high-gloss black ash and satin-finish light-brown poplar. The interior is given an even more progressive look with the addition of piano lacquer or AMG carbon fibre/black piano lacquer trim elements. A completely new addition comes in the form of porcelain interior appointments which afford both CLS models a sense of luxury normally found in the S-Class. The CLS Shooting Brake also lives up to its role as a design icon thanks to the innovative nature of the materials used. These comprise a mixture of satin and high-gloss finishes used on the metal surfaces.
A new dimension in vehicle concepts: the four-door Shooting Brake
No-one likes to have to compromise: even when the focus is not on the practical elements of the design of the Shooting Brake (length x width x height: 4956 x 1881 x 1413 mm), the new CLS model still has some trump cards up its sleeve. With a load volume of between 590 and 1550 litres, the luggage compartment offers a lot of room despite the flat, sporty lines of the roof, and is easy to use thanks to the automatically opening tailgate fitted as standard. A load compartment cover also protects luggage from prying eyes.
The standard air suspension at the rear helps to ensure optimum road holding at all times. For additional flexibility, the rear seat backrests can be folded down from the luggage compartment as standard. The rear seats themselves provide room for three people, with individual seats on the outsides and a third seat in the middle. The three saddle-type head restraints on the rear seats barely affect the view towards the rear, and can be lowered at the touch of a button by the driver.
Lightweight construction and aerodynamics: important contributions to efficiency
Intelligent lightweight construction plays a decisive role in bridging the classic conflict between the objectives of low weight and high strength in the CLS Shooting Brake. The model features frameless, all-aluminium doors made from deep-drawn aluminium panels with extruded sections, and in comparison with conventional steel doors, are some 24 kilograms lighter. The tailgate, bonnet, front wings, various support profiles and substantial parts of the suspension and engines are all made of aluminium too.
The aerodynamics also make a significant contribution to the efficiency of the Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake. With a frontal area of 2.30 m² and a Cd value of 0.29, the drag area is 0.67 m².
Drive system: powerful and efficient
The CLS Shooting Brake will be available in the Middle East in three different engine variants: the CLS 350 BlueEFFICIENCY producing 306 hp, CLS 500 BlueEFFICIENCY with a V8 biturbo engine producing 408 hp and the top of the range CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake delivering 557 hp.Features common to all engines include the 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission as well as the ECO start/stop function.
Efficiency is also increased by the standard electro-mechanical power steering EPS (Electric Power Steering). The electromechanical power steering also enables another innovation to be implemented – Active Park Assist. The CLS Shooting Brake is not only able to detect parking spaces, but can also park automatically.
Another world exclusive: dynamic full LED headlamps
The CLS was the first passenger car in the world to offer optional dynamic full LED High Performance headlamps, which combine the exciting colour elements of LED technology – similar to those of daytime driving lights – with the performance, functionality and energy efficiency of today's bi-xenon generation. Some 95 percent of all customers have opted for these lights in the CLS Coupé.
Of course, as the world's second car to feature this optional extra, the CLS Shooting Brake also offers the new light system. For the first time ever, it provides the Intelligent Light System already proven in Mercedes models fitted with bi-xenon headlamps in combination with LED technology. The headlamps, with their 71 LED lamps in total, look exciting; and they serve to underline the unmistakable appearance of the CLS. The light specialists from Mercedes-Benz have for the first time been able to use LED technology in the innovative Adaptive Highbeam Assist, resulting in an entirely new quality of illumination when driving at night.
More than a dozen driving assistance systems help to prevent traffic accidents and reduce the severity of an accident. Active Blind Spot Assist and Active Lane Keeping Assist are available as part of the Driving Assistance package Plus, in combination with DISTRONIC PLUS, BAS PLUS and the PRE‑SAFE® Brake. Both assistance systems are not only able to detect an unintentional lane change or vehicles in the blind spot, but can also correct the direction of travel by gentle brake intervention if the driver ignores the visual or audible danger warnings.
It's all in a name: the origins of the name "Shooting Break"
Break, or the homonym Brake, was the name once given to carriages used to "break" in wild horses and also to restrict (or "brake") their urge to move, so that they could be put to use as work horses. Since the carts could easily be broken as part of this process, people tended not to use ones which they may have urgently needed for other purposes. Where necessary, "Brakes" were often fitted out with variable bodies, which were only really used to carry along anything that may have been necessary for the hunt, for example. Any such vehicle which was used when going out shooting was called a Shooting Brake or Shooting Break. Motorised Shooting Brakes were popular in England in the 60s and 70s – exclusive two-door sports cars, which combined the luxury and style of a coupé with a larger load compartment and large tailgate.

The apt complex is very old and falling apart. While the office area and the apts across from it are well pla Read Morented and very pretty, the back of the apts are atrocious, bricks falling out and cement crumbling at the stairs. No sunlight. Oh, and why in the Goodship Lollypop is it illegal to have a satellite dish that doesn't meet precise specifications? We had DirecTV since it was invented in 1994 at our home and never ONCE did we have 1 issue with them; we got offers of freebies to stay!

Small Animal Dermatology Q&A 20
|This question was provided by Manson Publishing as part of the OVAL Project. See more small animal dermatological questions
The ear margin of a 3-year-old springer spaniel dog is shown. The owners report that this material accumulates on the ear margin within 2–3 days after bathing. The ear margins are matted with greasy accumulations of follicular casts adhering to the skin and to the hair. The remainder of the dog's skin is normal. Skin scrapings are negative, and previous impression smears of the exudate revealed poorly staining ceruminous debris, with some cocci and Malassezia organisms. The dog has been treated with oral antibiotics and concurrent ketoconazole several times previously, but the condition always recurs.
|What is the clinical diagnosis, and how should the dog be treated?
Ear margin seborrhea/dermatosis complicated by secondary bacterial and yeast pyoderma. Ear margin seborrhea can be the only clinical manifestation of primary seborrhea in some dogs.
|Link to Article
|Ear margin dermatoses are common in which dog breed(s), and how do lesions progress?
Ear margin dermatosis is common in dachshunds and other breeds with pendulous ears.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Lev, I appreciate your answers. Just to clarify:
1- So I will need to file an individual tax return even if I am a foreigner. Is that 1040NR? do I also need forms K-1/K-2 (from previous research).
2- ok.
3- So the BVI will file the form 1120F and I don't have to file any forms? (same as question 1 I assume). So EIN needed for the BVI and ITIN required for me?
4- ok
5- ok
6- is Franchise same as seller's permit?
one last question, can I have a title and manage the company without getting a salary? will i still be able to expense i.e. airfare related to the business?
Thank you.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for you welcome message. I'm joining you to try and help in the french translation of the codex: "When you see the mountain from far, you think you can climb it. But then, the closer you get, the higher it seems. Still, if you want it, you can climb it."

Hi Michael, thanks for the encouragement message! One thing I am a bit confused about is whether I should remove the (copyedit) designation on Codex pages, if I think my edits have cleaned it up sufficiently. Or is one of the Codex editors supposed to go through and verify?

Hi Michael,
When trying to add something on a talk page today, I was told that I was blocked:
I couldn't write to your talk_page, nor did I find a link like "E-mail this user" so I had a look how long I was going to be blocked (it could not be me because I'm not Smash123 nor can I have the IP address of 188.8.131.52 'cause I'm living in Turkey...!) - fortunately the block was removed after 16:00...
Do you have any clue of what might be the reason for me being blocked? --katpatuka 19:34, 11 Feb 2007 (UTC)
Hi Michael.
I have suscribed to the wiki very recently. Yesterday, I had some trouble with the wiki. Sometimes, the system detects me as a spammer.
Autoblocked because you share an IP address with "Programy". Reason "spammer".
Please let me know what I can do to avoid this problem.
Sorry, but the IP adress is not given with the French interface.
Best regards.

MichaelH, I am working on a new page that you added stub and categories for. I think it's ready to go, but this is my first time editing Codex so I don't want to remove stub if there's something I still need to do. Can you take a look and let me know if there's anything else?

I wrote up a page documenting the Walker class. It's pretty complete but I couldn't figure out whether I should just move it out to the real page or leave it at my user page. Should I just move it out or if you want to do so go ahead. Sorry but I don't have time or inclination to join the mailing list but I thought others might benefit some from my writeup anyway.

Thanks for the welcome.
My themes were removed from the list because they did not include any license/usage information.
Where should I include this information once I've decided which license to use? Will it be okay to simply add the license info to the readme or do I also need to include it in the footer of the theme? -- User:Powweb
Hi, I've rewritten the upgrade quick instructions. Since you made the last changes to them, could you help me check whether they're correct? If yes, could you move them from the discussion page to the article? Thanks --Felix 05:24, 24 Jun 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Michael. I'm maintaining Indonesian localization for WordPress. And now I'm planning to localize the content of Codex to my language (Indonesian). Some poeple have contacted me and are willing to lay their hand.
How to do this? Is it just by simply creating a new page, e.g. codex.wordpress.org/id:Main_Page ? Or should I ask the permission to use a id namespace first?
Looking forward to your reply. Thanks.
I'm wondering if I could have the attention of anyone in authority to deal with the volunteers on the support side, I have a matter to discuss with someone about how I was treated by a volunteer. If you could get someone to contact me, I would really appreciate it. You can find contact information at nathanr.ca/contact.
Thank you very much. Nathanrdotca 03:29, 12 Sep 2007 (UTC)
Thank you Michael for the kind words! I'm trying to improve the Gengo documentation initiated by Christophe. However, 2 remarks :
But anyways, I still believe that this work can be useful to some people! So everybody is very welcome to correct these pages! Nadglobtrotter 16:26, 18 Sep 2007 (UTC)
Hi Michael. You asked about my problem with AJAX Comments:
When I activate the AJAX Comments 2.08 plugin under 2.3RC1, I get the following error in the plugins panel: "
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in ...\wp-content\plugins\ajax-comments\ajax-comments.php on line 237
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error."
I tried this on two different test sites. Works just fine with the same theme on my 2.2.3 site.
Hello Michael,
I have seen there is a new page about Gengo plugin at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gengo/. Is there anyway to add to the blue box in that page a link to the codex page Christophe and I have been working on (http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Gengo) ? It could help new users use the plugin, and allow more experimented users complete the codex page. I don't think I can edit the plugin page, so that's why I ask you.
Thanks for your help,

"Chinese revaluation is not in the US interest." This is one of the major conclusions from a collection of short essays on the Sino-US currency dispute (eBook). Other conclusions are that a revaluation is in China's interest, and that the size of the RMB undervaluation is between 2.5 and 27.5 per cent.
The conclusions back up research performed by PwC for Money Supply on Friday. They found that while a renminbi appreciation would reduce the US trade deficit, the effects would not flow through to GDP and would, at any rate, be short-lived.

Montana TV Station Gets Hacked With Zombie Warning
Yep, this happened. During what we can only assume was a mesmerizing episode of the 'Steve Wilkos Show,' an Emergency Alert System interrupted a Montana television station with a message claiming that "the bodies of the dead are rising from their graves and attacking the living." Meaning? Yes, a zombie attack was underway.

I'm not a big fan of this franchise, i did buy the first 2 games and never finished any, but this one looks really interesting, how important is the story between the different titles in the franchise normally? i'd rather not play the old games before this one.

Yea, I remember seeing that episode. It's crazy how he does it. He doesn't do a complete belly flop, he kinda curves in, even with that little amount of water. He has to do it perfectly though, or he will completely wreck his internal organs from the impact of landing from that height.

I dunno. Played the first two in the series. They were great. Still have to play the third but what i saw it seems AssCreed 3 and 4 looks almost identical. The ship battles were introduced already in AssCreed 3 if i´m correct. They need a new fresh idea and not just prettier graphics.

The pilot of a Bombardier Challenger 600 that was substantially damaged during a hard landing on Runway 15 at Aspen, Colo., on February 9, told the NTSB that the airplane encountered wake vortices from a BAe 146 that had just taken off from Runway 33. According to the pilot, at 50 feet agl the airplane rolled hard to the left. He added power and the twinjet rolled hard to the right. The pilot stopped the roll, but the nose dropped and the right main landing gear hit the runway, pushing the strut into the wing and causing additional damage.

First Look At James Franco On "General Hospital"
OMG, my DVR is soooo ready to start recording "General Hospital" again! "GH" and I have been broken up for a while now — I just could not get behind Carly #3 or #4 — but with James Franco making his big daytime debut on the show next Friday, I'm ready to go back to Port Charles. By the looks of the preview, Franco is totally channeling "smell the fart acting" (a term coined by Joey Tribiani on "Friends"), testing out dramatic pauses and slightly over-the-top line delivery, all typical of great soap opera performances. However, are they giving him a love interest in Maxie Jones? Say it ain't so!
As for why Franco wanted to be on the show in the first place? Apparently, my theory that he'd been watching the show with his grandma since he was a kid isn't true. "General Hospital" executive producer Jill Farren Phelps said, "he had heard [soaps] are hard and thought it would be fun to try." Plus, he liked "GH"'s ongoing mob storyline. Ugh, James, it was SO much better in the late '90s. But anyway. Will you be watching "General Hospital" for James Franco?

As a college professor, I hear a lot of career concerns. As my students prepare to enter working lives that will last 50 years or more, practically all of them try to be futurists in choosing the skills in which to invest. If they pick an occupation that declines in the next half-century, they may deeply regret it. They know that a mid-life career change is difficult, so they want to make the right choice while they are very young.
From what my students tell me, there is a widespread fear of "commoditization" of jobs in the modern, information technology-driven global economy. They worry that in coming years even highly skilled people might be hired and fired indiscriminately, bought and sold like so many tons of copper or cases of frozen turkeys. Job satisfaction would suffer accordingly. After all, if the job requires nothing more than knowledge of existing technology, then it can be done by anyone anywhere in the world who has learned this technology, or, worse by some computer.
Indeed, while it is often thought that computers will replace only low-skilled jobs, my students remind me otherwise. Medical expertise is in some ways being replaced by computer-based diagnostic systems (expert systems), and much of the work that engineers once did has been replaced by computer-assisted design (CAD) systems. My students worry that such trends may continue, reducing job security, lowering rates of pay, and even eliminating some of the jobs altogether.
Some students, reckoning that it is better to buy and sell than to be bought and sold, conclude that they should be trained for careers in business, finance, or possibly law. They want the kinds of skills that will keep them among the managers, rather than the managed, and some intuit greater job security and better career prospects at the international level of these fields. By contrast, my students often regard occupations like medicine or engineering – involving highly specialized technical knowledge that does not prepare them to navigate the international economy – as particularly vulnerable to commoditization.

Stepping in for the mayor who faces misdemeanor charges and a court injunction for solemnizing New York's first same-sex weddings last week, two Unitarian ministers defied threats of prosecution to wed 13 lesbian couples here on Saturday.
Under a makeshift tent on the banks of the Wallkill River, and under the watchful eye of police officers taking notes, the ministers acknowledged that they were breaking the law. A celebratory crowd of several hundred supporters blew bubbles over the newlyweds and handed out Champagne.
''I have never knowingly violated the law at any previous time in my life,'' said Dawn Sangrey, the minister who leads the Fourth Unitarian Society of Westchester County. ''I am perfectly willing to face jail and fines for conducting these marriages.''
Mayor Jason West said on Friday that he would not officiate at any more marriages until after a meeting next week with Eliot Spitzer, the state attorney general.
The marriages conducted by the ministers and Mr. West took place without the customary marriage licenses, and will probably face court challenges. State law allows clergymen, mayors and certain other officials to officiate at weddings, but they can do so only for couples with marriage licenses. Donald A. Williams, the Ulster County district attorney, who charged Mr. West last week with 19 counts of solemnizing marriages without licenses, said he intended to prosecute anyone else who broke that law.Continue reading the main story
''I am pleased the mayor decided not to solemnize marriages,'' Mr. Williams said in an interview on Friday. ''The mayor of New Paltz must recognize that he is not above the law, and neither are clergy or anyone else who performs solemnizations without marriage licenses.''
After the mayor's announcement that he would refrain from officiating at any more same-sex marriages, the grass-roots gay marriage movement in New Paltz quickly distanced itself from the village government.
Moving meetings away from Village Hall and into a pink Victorian bed-and-breakfast, a group of residents and students from the State University College at New Paltz worked late Friday night to prepare for the marriages on Saturday. Calling themselves the New Paltz Equality Initiative, the group of two dozen volunteers said marriage ceremonies would take place every Saturday. ''There is a waiting list of more than 1,000 couples,'' said Charles I. Clement, a spokesman for the group.
One of the first people to wed, Kay A. Greenleaf, was also one of the ministers who officiated. Ms. Greenleaf took as her ''marriage partner'' her companion of 17 years, Pat A. Sullivan. Ms. Sangrey officiated.
''I wish the opponents of same-sex marriage could share in the jovial and celebratory atmosphere here,'' Ms. Greenleaf said before the ceremony. ''It might not change their minds, but it may give them pause.''
The couples walked out of the marriage tent to raucous cheers, and many in the crowd joined in a rendition of John Lennon's ''Imagine,'' accompanied by an acoustic guitar.
Although the same-sex marriage movement has many supporters in New Paltz, the mayor has been criticized for using tax money to pay for police overtime during the wedding ceremonies.
Others overtly object to homosexual acts, including a group from Kansas threatening to picket the village in the next several weeks and a lone protester on Saturday who held aloft a placard quoting the Bible. ''It took a lot of courage to come down here to protest,'' said the protester, Wayne D. Ackert, 63, a lifelong resident of New Paltz. ''I want people to turn back from homosexual acts.''
The couples who married on Saturday cited a variety of reasons for their deciding to marry.
''My partner cannot get the same Army veteran rights given to straight couples,'' said Robee VanNorman, a retired Army medic of her companion of 15 years, Nancy VanNorman. ''They even discriminate beyond death, since she cannot be buried next to me in a military cemetery.''
Six of the couples had children through adoption, artificial insemination or previous marriages to men.
''We are hoping to have another child,'' said Terri-Ann Sweet, who married her companion of four years, Rita Randall. ''My daughter cried with excitement when I told her we could get married today.''
Maria Brandt, who wed her partner of 17 years, Michelle Lottridge, said she felt jitters about marrying, but not the usual kind. ''I just don't want to have the cops haul me in or get beat up by gay bashers,'' she said.Continue reading the main story

DORSET faces losing millions of pounds in funding to maintain the county's roads, officers have warned.
They have predicted a £9m hole in funding for highways maintenance and the county's roads could suffer as a result.
A combination of government grants and borrowing has meant that Dorset County Council is currently enjoying a healthy level of funding and officers say they are reducing the number of roads needing attention.
But Dorset County Council's head of highways, Andrew Martin, told members of the Audit and Scrutiny Committee it would not take long for the impact of a huge reduction in funding to be felt across the road network.
It comes after a harsh winter left a bill of hundreds of thousands of pounds to repair highways. Mr Martin said: "We are facing a significant reduction in funding next year.
"If we do not maintain these funding levels we have currently we will see a significant deterioration over a short period of time."
A report that went before councillors stated that, just to maintain the current state of the county's roads would cost an estimated £15.3million a year over the next 10 years and to improve it to an 'acceptable condition' would require investment of £23.3million per year.
Mr Martin said that at the current levels of funding the highways team had managed to reduce the percentage of minor roads in the county needing improvements from 10 per cent to seven per cent and he envisaged further improvements during the current financial year as funding remained in place.
However, it will be a different picture next year if the expected drop in funding materialises.
Director for environment, Mike Harries, said that there was no way of telling if further government funding would come and said that if the cuts do come then the highways department would do all it can to make sure the budget it is left with goes as far as possible.
Mr Harries said: "We are in a time of limited resources.
"We will do what we can with the resources available and I think the team has been very resourceful and efficient about funding the best ways of doing things."
As reported in the Echo, 1,800 potholes were reported in just three weeks with repairs estimated at £135,000.
Derek Hine, a Preston resident who has spoken out in the past about the condition of the roads, said: "We can't expect any local council to have a reduction and then have a winter like we had last year. I would definitely be very concerned.
"Funds aren't being allocated very well either as the money for the roads should come out of car taxes, which is what things like this were originally designed for, for road repairs."
Cllr Christine James, Weymouth and Portland Borough Council's spokesman for transport and infrastructure, said: "The reduction will have an enormous impact as it's a big issue here.
"It has an impact on business and tourism too because it's costing entrepreneurs money to keep repairing their cars while driving on these roads, and tourists could have a bad experience when visiting.
"What you will also get is a lot more claims to the county council for vehicle damage and personal injury."

Stayed here several weeks ago- what a treat! Convenient yet private; breakfast was over the top good; rooms were fabulous; watched a movie in theater room (I was in charge of remote); porches and grounds .. Something out of a pretty magazine. I would "highly" recommend a stay here if you have the opportunity! Terry and Al have found "their nitch"
5 on May 11, 2016
Al & Terry are the consummate host and hostess. They are sweet, unassuming and friendly. Al makes sure there is not a single weed on their large estate, and mows the lawn mostly by push mower and at a diagonal. Terry decorated their comfortable Victorian Country home in a style that would honor "Country Living" magazine. Together they serve a lovely little breakfast every morning. There is so much to do in the Portland area that we never quite had time to check out their movies in the theatre room. Oh well! That gives us an excuse for a return visit!

My husband Brian and I are so grateful to Al & Terry for making our vacation the closest to heaven we could possibly get here on earth. Tucked away on a street that does not give credit to what you will behold, is this amazing bed and breakfast that is owned and operated by two wonderful angels God has placed among our midst. There truly is no other way to describe these two beauiful hosts. From the very first day till the last we were treated like family. When we arrived we were greeted with such a warm gebuine welcome we felt we had met them before. The home is absolutely beautiful and so inviting that you feel like sitting and chatting like you were catching up on old times. We have stayed in many hotels but never any that could begin to compare to Sandes of Time Bed and Breakfast. Every room in the home is breath-taking. Al and Terry have paid so much attention to every detail of the property, inside and out. It's very obvious that they love what they do and they love their guest. The breakfast is gourmet and home cooked from scratch. I could eat breakfast all day. I'm a book collector and an advant reader and I enjoyed looking through Terry's antique collectibles. Words alone cannot express what you can only experience by spending some time there. I look foward to spending some time this summer with my husband at Sandes of Time with Al and Terry. Always, Brian & Tina Hankerson

My wife and I love to patronize Bed & Breakfasts about three times a year and have done this for nearly a decade. Al and Terry have created a gem here in Portland. They are the most gracious, jovial and likeable hosts we have ever met. The rooms exceeded our expectations, the downstairs movie theatre was a huge plus, and the meals outstanding. I can't say enough good things about Al & Terry. We will be back!

We had a wonderful 2 day stay at Sandes of Time B&B. We stay at B&Bs on a regular basis and have high standards. Sandes of Time met and exceeded our expectations. The grounds are beautiful!. It is a lovely setting to walk the grounds or sit on the porch with a glass of wine. The owners are super friendly and very attentive. We enjoyed a great breakfast. The room was tastefully decorated and very clean. We would definitely stay at this B&B again and can highly recommend it without any reservations. Eileen and Mike

This place is great! The owners make you feel so comfortable and relaxed. I stayed here the night before a big exam (MCAT) and I'm so happy I did. I've been so very stressed lately and this place made me feel calm, collected, and relaxed. The decor and vibe feels like a vacation at grandma's home, and the breakfast is just as fresh and delicious as expected. The property is gorgeous with nice short walking paths and a beautiful patio for relaxing. Terry and Al, the owners, treat this place as their home so their guests feel at home. They are so very friendly and nice people. There are board games, books, and movies for the kids and a bar, movies, and a nice relaxing for the adults. Oh, and the movie room is amazing! Great surround sound with a huge projector screen, comfy seats with warm blankets, and fresh popcorn! This B&B is so much better than the brand name hotel where I almost stayed. It is so comforting and personal. I can't wait to come back. I hope you have a great time here!

Absolutely beautiful home and grounds. Each room is decorated beyond expectations.

Back a few years ago we stayed in this marvelous B&B. We happened to be the first people to stay here. Like so many of the guests, we concur that it is a very beautiful spot and we certainly will stay here again if we visit Portland again. Paul and Marlene DeVries

My husband and I are from Providence, Rhode Island. We almost always stay at B&B's and we have traveled all over the country. The Sands of Time Bed and Breakfast is the best place we have ever stayed. We spent three nights there and everything was phenomenal!! I can not say enough about the amazing job Terry and Al have done with this beautiful place. Tammy O Providence, RI
5 on September 09, 2011
We stayed in the Spring Garden room which was very comfortable with a view of the nicely landscaped grounds. This B&B gets top ratings from us after staying in 4 B&B's while touring WA and OR, coming from the East Coast. It is clean and newly renovated. Terry and Al were great hosts and fun to talk to. The breakfasts were delicious and nicely presented to us outside on the porch. We very much enjoyed our 2 nights there while attending a nearby wedding.

Talk about making a grand entrance! After planning dozens of weddings as a planner, Amanda Volf knew she wanted to do something truly unique for her own nuptials. That's why she and her groom, Grant Engler, rented $90,000 water-powered jet packs from Jetlev Southwest to fly into their Newport Beach wedding.
"I never really dreamed of my wedding, but if I did, I think this would be it," said Volf.
Before the ceremony, the couple spent about three hours learning how to fly and creating their flight path. This adventurous duo also plans to do some high flying during their Costa Rican honeymoon with zip-lining.

The Obama Administration makes a terrific appointment of Alexia Kelley to the Department of Health & Human Services as Director of Faith-based and Community Partnerships. There's no doubt that Kelley will play a pivotal role in the work of both the Faith-based office and HHS. A Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good press release, text below, includes the details.
From the press release:
Alexia Kelley, former Executive Director of Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, has been named Director of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships at the Department of Health and Human Services.
The Alliance congratulates Ms. Kelley on this distinguished appointment, and we offer our deepest appreciation for her tireless service to Catholics in Alliance over the past several years. In her new position, Kelley will play a critical role in building partnerships with faith and community organizations.
Inspired by our faith's teaching that health care is a human right central to serving the common good, Catholics will continue to be front and center in this critical effort.
We say: Charlottesville reveals the weeping wound of racism. What do we, the American Catholic faith community, do next? Read the editorial.
Kelley co-founded Catholics in Alliance in 2005 to help increase awareness of Catholic social teaching in the media and the public square. Co-author with Chris Korzen of A Nation for All: How the Catholic Vision of the Common Good Can Save America from the Politics of Division, Ms. Kelley has helped position the Alliance as a leading lay Catholic voice on issues central to the role of faith in public life.
Vicky Kovari, the National Field Director for Catholics in Alliance, has been named Interim Executive Director. For the past 27 years, Kovari has worked as a community organizer, faith-based advocate and nonprofit housing developer. Prior to joining the Alliance in 2007, she worked as an organizer with MOSES, a congregation-centered community organizing network based in Detroit. In 2002, Kovari was one of 20 community leaders awarded the Ford Foundation's national Leadership for a Changing World award. She has served on the faculty of the Schools of Social Work at the University of Michigan and Wayne State University.
"While the Alliance is sad to lose such a visionary and energetic leader, we have a talented staff that will continue to work with the Catholic social justice movement to articulate our values in the media and mobilize citizens to put their faith into action," Ms. Kovari said. "At a time when millions lack health care, immigrants are often demonized as 'aliens' and the silent genocide of poverty shames a nation committed to equal opportunity, our core mission remains as vital as ever. We are also poised to make real progress on preventing and reducing abortion. We are committed to finding common ground on this critical issue."
"The Alliance has embodied the call of Vatican II for the laity to engage the core values of our faith in political life," said Steve Schneck, Director of the Life Cycle Institute at The Catholic University of America in Washington. "Their work remains essential for articulating the responsibilities we have as Catholics to bring the gifts of both faith and reason to the always unfinished task of building a more just society."

Foreclosure Property Tours
Touring America's Troubles Is a New Activity
When my dental hygienist told me that her German relatives were traveling to the US on organized shopping tours, the dollar's weakness became even more apparent to me. It's no secret that the dollar is in the dumps, and consumers across the ocean are rightfully taking advantage of its decline.
Another type of tour isn't taking place in our shopping centers, but in our struggling suburbs. Realty groups have begun Foreclosure Bus Tours, something that started in California but has made its way to Phoenix, Detroit, Kansas City, Orlando, and Jacksonville. The buses stop at empty homes that were foreclosed by lenders when owners couldn't make their mortgage payments. The tours give prospective buyers the opportunity to look inside the homes and ask questions about the nuances of purchasing a foreclosed property.
