Firestone Initiates Safety Recall
3 January 2001Firestone Initiates Safety Recall of Limited Number Of P265/70R16 Wilderness LE Tires Manufactured in Cuernavaca, Mexico
* Recall limited to approximately 8,000 tires produced the week of April 23, 2000 * Effort centered on retrieving about 150 tires made on April 24, 2000 * Reenergized quality focus alerted company to need for limited recall NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 2 Firestone today announced that it is initiating a voluntary recall of approximately 8,000 tires produced during the week of April 23, 2000, at its Cuernavaca, Mexico plant in order to ensure the recovery of about 150 tires made on April 24. Examinations conducted on some of the April 24-produced tires found significantly lower adhesion in the belt area rubber as a result of the unintentional inclusion of a small portion of non-specified rubber material in the #1 stabilizer belt (the steel belt closest to the inside of the tire). A thorough assessment of a significant sample of tires manufactured during the week of April 23, 2000, and the weeks before and after, showed that the problem was confined to a small batch of tires produced in the Cuernavaca plant on April 24. The company is not aware of any claims for property damage or injury caused by the recalled tires. The recalled P265/70R16 Wilderness LE tires are identified by DOT # V672WL11700 (black sidewall) and DOT #V672WL21700 (raised white letters); the serial numbers can be found on the sidewall of the tire near the wheel rim. Only the Wilderness LE tires in size P265/70R16 with these two DOT numbers are subject to the recall and this action is unrelated to last August's recall. The recalled tires may have been used on up to 4,700 model year 2000 GMC Yukon XL 1500 series (as original equipment) and Chevrolet Suburban 1500 series (as an optional tire choice) vehicles assembled in Silao, Mexico during late April and early May 2000. Owners of the vehicles that have the suspect tires will be contacted within a week to advise them of the recall. In the meantime, owners of the affected Yukon XLs and Suburbans can perform a simple process to find out if their vehicles may have been fitted with the recalled tires (including the spare tire). Owners may check the first line of the placard on the driver's side door to see if the vehicle was manufactured by General Motors de Mexico in April or May 2000. If the Yukon XL or Suburban was not built by GM de Mexico during one of those months, the vehicle would not have had the recalled tires fitted at the plant. Owners of affected vehicles who would like additional information can call Firestone's recall hotline at 1-800-465-1904. The affected tires were produced the week of April 23, 2000, and are being recalled in immediate response to a specific problem identified in these tires that was confirmed by a review of the company's warranty adjustment data. "As soon as we became aware of the deficiency in a small quantity of these tires, we took immediate action. We found the problem is limited to an extremely small number of tires, approximately 150, produced on a single day, but we are recalling the entire week to help ensure that all these tires are off the road," said John Lampe, president, chairman and CEO, Bridgestone/Firestone. "We committed to our customers that we would change the way we review our collected data and respond to product concerns -- an enhanced early warning system -- to facilitate quick detection of anomalies and establish a quick response system. That system is working." "As we've said, we will work to regain the public's trust in the Firestone tire brand, and a recall -- no matter how small -- impacts that effort. But, an important part of rebuilding that trust is proving to the public our commitment to quickly identify problems, communicate that information fully and promptly, and take the necessary actions to resolve the problems. And that's what we've done here," said Lampe. "We take full responsibility for each and every tire we make, and we are committed to getting any tire with a problem off the road and replaced quickly. We have also taken corrective action at the Cuernavaca plant to make sure that this type of error will not occur again." Replacement tires are immediately available and the company urges customers who are affected to have the tires replaced free of charge as soon as possible. Recalled tires can be replaced at no cost to the customer at their local GMC or Chevrolet dealer or by visiting their local authorized participating Firestone retailer. For the location of the nearest Firestone store, customers can call toll-free at 1-800-465-1904. To find the nearest GMC or Chevrolet dealer, customers should call the GM tire safety hotline at 1-866-522-0505, the Chevrolet hotline at 1-800-222-1020 or the GMC hotline at 1-800-462-8782. In a related action, Firestone also today announced that it will be conducting a campaign in Mexico to capture approximately 500 of the recalled P265/70R16 Wilderness LE tires, which may have been released to the Mexican replacement tire market. While there is no evidence that any tires exhibiting the deficiency are in the Mexican market, the company is instituting an action to retrieve all P265/70R16 tires with the same DOT numbers as those recalled in the United States in the interest of driver safety and an abundance of caution. None of these tires in the Mexican market is linked to any personal injury or property damage claims, nor has the company received reports of any related warranty adjustments.

The two trials of BNC210 were initiated in France in October 2010 following approval by the French Medical Agency AFSSAPS (Agence Francaise de Securite Sanitaire des Produits de Sante) and the Ethics Committee of the Strasbourg Hospital, CPP (Comité de Protection des Personnes). Both trials were conducted by Forenap Pharma.
The first trial evaluated the effect of BNC210 on panic symptoms induced by pharmacological means in healthy volunteers. Panic attacks were induced by administration of the peptide CCK-4 and the severity of panic symptoms was assessed using the Panic Symptom Scale (PSS). Fifty-nine subjects were enrolled in the trial. Fifteen subjects were classified as having a panic attack upon CCK-4 administration.
BNC210 reduced both the total PSS score (total symptoms) and the intensity of symptoms in subjects when measured 10 minutes after the induction of a panic attack. With BNC210 treatment the number and intensity of symptoms decreased faster than with placebo and this reduction in symptoms was significant (p<0.05 for both the total symptom score and the intensity of symptoms). There was a strong, positive trend on the emotional stability of subjects suffering a panic attack which was associated with BNC210 treatment. BNC210 treated subjects returned to normal emotional status within 10 minutes of the administration of CCK-4 compared to 60 minutes on placebo. This trend correlated with the statistically significant reduction in panic symptoms by BNC210.
The second trial compared BNC210 with Lorazepam (a Valium-like anti-anxiety drug) on measures of attention, memory, co-ordination, addiction and sedation. This trial also compared the effects of BNC210 and Lorazepam on the brain using electro-encephalography (EEG). Twenty-four subjects were enrolled in the trial with twenty-one subjects evaluated.
An important finding was that EEG data showed for the first time BNC210-related changes in human brain activity indicative of efficacy. The changes in brain activity induced by BNC210 were clearly differentiated from those observed following treatment of subjects with Lorazepam, particularly in activity associated with sedation suggesting that BNC210 activity occurs in the absence of sedation.
In addition, the trial results confirmed the lack of debilitating side-effects of BNC210 relative to Lorazepam. While Lorazepam adversely affected attention, co-ordination and memory, BNC210 showed no evidence of these side-effects. Lorazepam also induced sedation as measured by the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale and showed evidence of addiction where treatment with Lorazepam was associated with LSD and phenobarbital/alcohol groups on the Addiction Research Centre Inventory 49 (ARCI49) scoring system. Testing of the same subjects following administration of BNC210 showed no evidence of sedation or indicators of addiction.
It is anticipated that data from both trials will be presented at major international scientific conferences later this year.
Bionomics CEO and Managing Director Dr Deborah Rathjen commented, "We are thrilled to report the positive results of both BNC210 clinical trials. The results have exceeded our expectations."
"Both studies were designed to demonstrate the value of BNC210 as an innovative new generation treatment for anxiety and depression and the results confirm the drug's potential. Anxiety is a common debilitating condition that affects 19 million patients in the US and anxiety drugs have an estimated worldwide market of up to US$12 billion per annum. Blockbuster drugs that treat anxiety include Valium, Prozac and Effexor. 2009 worldwide sales of Effexor alone were US$3.25 billion. These drugs are not ideal and BNC210 represents a next generation treatment for anxiety which stands out as free of the serious side-effects."
"The results of the CCK-induced panic trial have given the first indication of efficacy by BNC210 in humans and this result has been supported by the data coming from the second trial which gave indications of brain activity induced by BNC210 consistent with anxiolysis. This is a substantial step forward for BNC210 which presents a very compelling opportunity," Dr Rathjen said.
Professor Paul Fitzgerald of the Monash Alfred Psychiatry Research Centre, Alfred Hospital and Monash University School of Psychology and Psychiatry, commenting on the clinical trial results said, "The data are very encouraging and point to BNC210 reducing anxiety in a manner that is potentially better for patients than current treatments. The EEG data indicates that BNC210 gets into the brain and exerts a more subtle and specific effect than Lorazepam. In addition, subjects recovered more quickly from a CCK-induced panic attack returning to a normal emotional state after 10 minutes when receiving BNC210. On placebo the subjects took around an hour to return to a normal emotional state after the panic attack."
Dr Sue O'Connor, BNC210 Project Leader since the inception of the project, commented, "I am delighted that we saw data from human trials consistent with data from our animal studies in that BNC210 clearly lacks the side-effects of sedation, memory impairment and reduction of co-ordination shown by drugs of the benzodiazepine class."
"For the first time in humans we also have an indication that BNC210 treatment does not give rise to indicators of addiction," Dr O'Connor added.
Commenting on the outlook for Bionomics, Dr Rathjen noted, "We are also expecting results from our ongoing renal cancer and mesothelioma clinical trials of BNC105 later this year."
"We will continue to execute Bionomics' established business strategy including securing partners for our key compounds. Bionomics' Board believes the Company has an exciting independent future and today's results are an important milestone in delivering value for our shareholders."

You see Greg Denker on a Tucson street in a white bee suit, and you might think you're looking at a guy who exterminates killer bees.
You couldn't be much further from the truth.
Denker has made a name for himself in Tucson by riding a wave of public concern about the health of bees. Across the country, but not as much in this region, honeybees have been disappearing at an alarming rate as a result of what's known as Colony Collapse Disorder.
Some people have come to a greater appreciation of bees as a result, recognizing that they're needed to pollinate many wild plants as well as food crops. So they don't want them killed; they just want them gone.
Denker and his two employees at American Bee Control are happy to oblige and have a self-interest in keeping the hives alive. When they remove a hive, they take it to state trust land on the southeast side for which Denker has a beekeeping lease.
There, he does selective breeding of bees in an effort to produce mite-free, disease-resistant super bees.
"A couple of years ago, I made the determination that I'm not too old to learn modern genomics," Denker, 58, said when I met him before a removal earlier this month.
He proudly pulled a letter from a U.S. Department of Agriculture lab in Maryland documenting that bees he sent there to analyze if they had any diseases came out perfectly clean. It's a somewhat unusual finding.
"These bees are bullet proof. Also very productive," he said.
When Denker first began keeping bees, when he was in elementary school during the 1960s in Tucson, there wasn't a lot of demand for bee removal, he said. That was before the arrival of Africanized bees in Arizona, which made people more concerned about nearby hives.
Like many Arizona beekeepers, Denker sees the positives in Africanized bees. Unlike European honeybees, they are resilient and highly productive. Unfortunately, they can also be aggressive and even kill.
That's why competitors in the pest business like Josh Tennenbaum of Arizona Pest Control are quick to point out that Denker is not a state-licensed pest controller. If things go bad at a hive removal and bees must be killed, unlicensed bee-removers like Denker can't break out the big guns and exterminate, he said.
"There are bees you need to kill because it's a dangerous removal," Tennenbaum said.
But Tennenbaum, too, sees the market for removals increasing. His company also removes some hives live and keeps bees on state trust land to produce honey. However, in many cases live removals are more expensive and customers choose not to do them.
When I asked Denker later, by email, about licensure and the need to kill some bees, he answered this way:
"We have never needed to kill bees. We can, by the use of synthetic pheromone lures and similar technologies — together with our analytical tools — always find the bees' hive and either physically get them out or convince them to come out under our control."
Denker grew up in Tucson and has kept bees since he was young. After going away to college in California, he returned and worked in real estate, search-and-rescue and other fields. He also converted to Mormonism and remains active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
For years he ran a business called Printer Resources Corp. that developed products for printer manufacturers. He also spent six years in the Washington, D.C.-area working for Lockheed Martin before returning to Tucson in 2005.
"I've always been a product development guy," he told me when we went out on a recent call. Indeed, that's the way he thinks of his beekeeping — not as research but product development.
The call I went to was unusual. The bee hive was in a fallen saguaro cactus outside a southeast side home. Denker puzzled over where the queen was and how to remove the bees before having employees Mel Swinson and Chase Rubbo start carving off pieces of the cactus with a chain saw.
While they worked — exhausting labor in a hot bee suit — Denker and I drove over to the state trust land to look at his hives.
"This is great because it's far from homes but close to the good stuff," he said of the lush desert vegetation.
All the hives are labeled and placed deliberately in his effort to develop a disease and pest-free bee he can later commercialize. That's the end game.
His way of getting there is through conscientious customers like Winterhaven resident Ann-Eve Cunningham.
A couple of weeks ago she was out of town when she got a call from her HOA telling her a contractor had discovered a hive on her property.
When she got back, Cunningham said, "I spent three or four hours watching the bees. They were utterly peaceful, very quiet, just doing their bee stuff."
She had made an appointment with Denker, but a miscommunication meant that someone else called an exterminator in before he got there. He killed hundreds of bees, but Denker later found many more inside the tree, alive. It's an ongoing operation to see if they can be rescued, Cunningham said.
"The reason why this business is so great is because everyone who calls here is a fine person," Denker said. "A lot of the customers get so emotional about these bees."
That's a good thing — for us as well as the bees.

Iranˈs cyber police (FATA) condemned here Sunday the hostile move of the European Union and the US Department of Treasury against Fata, IRNA reported.
On March 12, Fata was blacklisted by the EU for what it referred to as the so-called violation of the human rights.
Fata is a unit of Iranˈs Police founded in January 2011 to counter Internet-based crimes.
In a statement posted on its official website, Fata strongly condemned the ˈone-sidedˈ act of the EU and the US Department of Treasury, terming the move as an act against international laws and regulations.
The act is a blatant example of violating the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran and of interfering in its internal affairs, said the statement.
It said that the move was taken to expose Fata to the politicized sanctions of western powers.
ˈFata is a newly-established body in charge of maintaining the security of cyber space for Iranian citizens by relying on the innovation and creativity of Iranian experts,ˈ said the statement.
It added that at the international level too, Fata, has, so far, succeeded in proving its good-will and determination to help safeguard security of the international cyber space by working with some international bodies including the Interpol and police departments of other countries such as that of the US (during an operation code-named the ˈUS City Bank Operationˈ), the statement added.

Japa Nam - Repeating God's Name
In order to focus one's mind on God, Babaji taught people to chant the ancient mantra Om Namah Shivaya. It is a Sanskrit phrase which means something like "I surrender to/bow to/take refuge in God," or "Lord, Thy will be done." The Name of God used in this mantra is Lord Shiva, the Supreme Manifestation of God. Constant repetition of the mantra (japa) focuses the mind on God - opens the heart and mind to God - and stops, or reduces, the tendency of one's mind to constantly plan (the future), worry (about the past), daydream (illusion), or otherwise idle away in essentially useless activity.
Repeating God's Name of Om Namah Shivaya is a protection and a purification of the consciousness. It is like a clear running stream, constantly washing and renewing the mind for higher purpose. Babaji's main purpose for re-appearing is to reform the hearts and minds of people. He comes to remove confusion and evil from mankind. Shri Babaji once said: "The mind can be purified only by japa. This is the only medicine for the disease of the mind. While your mind and heart are impure, how can God live in your heart? The water to clean your heart is the Name of God. Teach everyone to repeat the Name of God -- everywhere."
The mind that is generally focused on God's Name(s) responds, when the need arises, spontaneously to perform its required functions quickly, easily and well. Babaji emphasized Om Namah Shivaya but also gave other mantras on some occasions. The essence of his instruction is "Repeat God's Name." Shri Babaji said that when the great destruction comes to the world, those who believe in and worship God sincerely, and especially those who repeat His Name, will be saved by the power of the mantra. "God's Name is more powerful than a thousand atomic and hydrogen bombs."
How to perform Japa
Usually, japa is performed on a mala (prayer beads, 108 beads per strand, like a rosary). In the morning, upon waking from sleep, a bath is taken immediately (pour water over all the body from a bucket with a cup). After bath and dressing in your prayer clothes, you sit peacefully in front of your altar. You touch the mala only with the right hand. You hold the beads without using the index finger (index finger is known as the "ego" finger so you leave the ego out of this). You begin where the mala has one larger bead and a tassle; you say one mantra per bead, working the mala around between thumb and middle finger. Once you have completed the 108 repetitions, you turn the mala around and go back the same direction you came. The large bead at the end is called the "guru" bead, so you "don't cross the guru," you keep turning the mala around and going back over the beads the opposite direction. Since 5 is a Shiva number, it is good to do a minimum of 5 rounds of the mala at a sitting. This is done morning and evening.
Japa Nam is also accomplished by constantly repeating the Name of God while working, eating, walking, and everything you do in a day, without always using the mala. When you repeat the Name of God while working, it is also called Karma Yoga.

There is apparently no room for Jell-O in the final round as Jell-O Pudding Pops get dunked by Fun-Dip. And Kool-Aid Bursts just can't contain themselves as they leave competitor Fruitopia all wet.
Let's check out the FINAL ROUND!
Interestingly enough, despite the nostalgic theme of this contest, both of our final competitors are still in production. So run out to the store, get some Fun-Dip and Kool-Aid Bursts, combine them, run around the backyard like a lunatic for a while, take a nap, then VOTE BELOW to help us determine the most refreshing Old School Refreshment!

KIM CLIJSTERS' Australian Open victory has been generally well-received, but not, it seems, by Oracene Price, the mother of Serena and Venus Williams.
Price made her feelings known on Twitter before the final when she likened the Belgian to the monster of Greek mythology, Medusa.
''I hope Na is not to [sic] nervous to kick some butt,'' Price tweeted after learning that Clijsters and Li Na were to meet in the women's final.
Price wrote that she thought it would be ''cool for a Chinese to win''.
Of Clijsters, she added: ''Did you peep that eye of hers? It gives you the Madusah [sic] stare and turns you into solid stone. Don't look at that eye.''

The Race 2 trailer is out and the film look very promising, from its first look. The action packed flick will see Saif Ali Khan romancing Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham with Jacqueline Fernandez. Amisha Patel is Anil Kapoor's ladylove. The film will also see Bipasha Basu do a cameo.
The trailer begins with Saif Ali Khan's monologue: "Badla jitna purana hota hai, utna hi khatarnak hota hai." The actor looks dashing in his sun-kissed look and ripped lean physique. Ms Padukone looks super sizzling in her 10 on 10 figure.
With a tagline that goes "Betrayal Is Survival", the second version of Race promises to be more thrilling, sophisticated and full of action.
Director Abbas Burmawalla said in an interview, "Race 2 will be made on as grand a scale as the original. We will be shooting in Turkey and Cyprus next,"
"The twists and turns and the style quotient of Race 2 is a notch higher. It is a perfect sequel," says producer Jay Shewakramani.
The music director of Race, Pritam, returns to compose for the sequel.
Race 2 is slated for January 25, 2013 release.

Jailed Mexican environmentalist receives prize
A Mexican environmentalist who's in jail has been awarded the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize.
The environmental activist, Rodolfo Montiel, was the leader of a group of ecologists who fought to protect forests in the western state of Guerrero.
The authorities accuse Mr Montiel of drug trafficking and links to left-wing guerrillas, but human rights groups say he was arrested because of his environmental work and tortured into confessing to crimes he didn't commit.
The prize which Mr Montiel received worth $125,000 is awarded annually to six groups around the world by the San Francisco-based Goldman Foundation. The foundation is awaiting permission to present the award to Mr Montiel in prison.

It's often referred to as "needle-drop" sound - a term reserved for tribute bands who can replicate the same sound a fan would hear when they drop the needle to the record at home.
For a group paying tribute to the iconic Led Zeppelin - arguably the masters of guitar and vocal overdubbing - that can be especially tricky.
Enter Get the Led Out. The group, which includes lead singer Paul Sinclair, Paul Hammond, Jimmy Marchiano, Billy Childs, Adam Ferraioli and Andrew Lipke, aims to give Zeppelin fans a taste of the music as it was originally heard.
To do that live, Sinclair explains, requires six guys to Led Zeppelin's original four.
"The people who have never seen our show are kind of confused," says Sinclair, speaking from his home in Bluebell, Pa. "When people (are surprised to) see we've got six guys on the stage … I just have to laugh. Led Zeppelin never got on stage and performed those songs the way that they recorded it. They had a very different sound live."
Get the Led Out will perform at the Levoy Theatre in Millville 8 p.m. Saturday, May 11. Sinclair says fans can expect to be transported back in time.
"It's just the way they grew up listening to it," says Sinclair, a BMI-affiliated songwriter who also owns Fat City Studios in Philadelphia. "That's the one thing people can expect from our show. There's such competition out there - and God bless everybody out there doing it - but it's the one thing that separates us from the rest (of the tribute bands)."
Since forming, the band has developed a cult following of Zeppelin fans. Sinclair, who has released studio albums on his own and continues to write original songs, admits he never envisioned himself in a tribute group, but he's certainly not complaining.
"This gig is my dream come true," says Sinclair, 48. "Most of the guys (in the band) are older. We've all had various levels of careers. We all grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, cutting our teeth on Led Zeppelin. In my personal case, Steven Tyler and Robert Plant are really the reason I sing, so I model my style after them."
The band started simply enough. Sinclair and Hammond, who are longtime friends, would sing Led Zeppelin songs with a house band at a local bar.
"We found ourselves doing a local bar gig, literally for peanuts, just once a month," Sinclair says. "I got a call from some other area musicians looking to put together a Zeppelin show. I was unaware of the tribute world. I didn't know what kind of market there was for it, and I certainly wasn't interested in doing the impersonator thing."
So the plan, Sinclair says, was not to imitate Led Zeppelin by dressing in costumes. Instead, the group would work to recreate the Zeppelin studio sound on stage.
"Not only did I not envision myself doing this type of thing - but as a really young kid trying to get into being a rock 'n' roll musician, it was one of those things you looked down upon," Sinclair says. "You don't want to do covers, you always want to do your own material. But, I could not be happier."
Sinclair recalls the band's first official show in December 2004. After preparing to play a small gig at a Delaware County, Pa., bar, Sinclair's manager told them they now had a new gig - Penn's Peak at Jim Thorpe Resort in the Poconos, a venue that seats 1,700 people.
Sinclair braced himself for what would surely be an embarrassing night, playing to a mostly empty room. But as they began to play on stage, he recalls, something happened. People heard the sound and started walking in.
"There were 1,000 people in the room for our very first show," Sinclair says. "I was blown away. This is where I started to see what this project could become."
The band performed at the same venue for a sell-out crowd just a few weeks ago. For Sinclair, the band has come full circle.
"Because we all grew up with the music, we come at it with a different perspective," Sinclair says. "(Younger fans) didn't live it. This is the soundtrack to my life. I have more of an attachment to it. These guys were mythic heroes when we were kids, and still a viable band. This was the music that was playing. It's very personal."
There is a niche to be filled with this type of music, Sinclair says - especially when the artists who performed the original music are not touring.
"We're really trying to live the music and trying to get that close to somebody else's performance," Sinclair says. "Not just 'Oh, you hit the right notes,' … but all the ways they hit the notes. It's an impossible feat, which is fine, but every performance is an opportunity to get that much closer."

I am sweet, family-oriented, and kinda goofy
Books: Anything by Christine Feehan, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Lynsay Sands. I like stuff with love conquers all and there's a happy ending. Spice it up with humor and a little bit of sexiness and I'm there
Music is an eclectic mix for me. I like pop and a little rock. Metal gives me a headache. Reggaeton depends on the song. Same for salsa and Merengue. I love Ilegales and Elvis IS KING
My favorite foods include pizza, peanut butter and a steak with the right sauce.
I´m also a bit of an adrenaline junkie. I´ve ridden a mechanical bull twice, done ziplining (canopy) in Costa Rica and think about bungee jumping one day.
I admit to being a little old-fashioned. I need to get to know you so I can miss you. My libido is actually attached to my brain. Do not try to go from 0 to sex in 2.2 seconds. Let me see how awesome you really are before any loses some clothes. Take it easy and take it slow.

text: Having just been without an Audi fore a couple of years, i'm back. And so far, not too impressed. The main issue is a constant creaking/rattling noise from the rear of the drivers door. Its somewhere between shoulder and ear height and its driving me to despair. So far ive tried the following:- Removing the door trim and tightening the torx screws inside. Covering the rubber door seals and plastic window surround in silicon. Driving with the window down. All to no avail. If you slightly open the door while driving the noise goes away. Has anybody else had this issue and for the sake of my sanity, how did you cure it ? Cheers Jenno

See the 2009 DAM Design Show Jewelry Runway via YouTube: Runway Part One , Runway Part Two , Runway Part Three
And check out pictures at Detroit Fashion Pages
Each year in January, Detroit turns its attention to design and creativity. In 2009 the Detroit Artists Market will take its own look at design with the DAM Design Show.
The show will open with a ticketed event January 16, 2009 from 7pm – 10pm. Adding to this exclusive reception will be a special Jewelry Concepts runway show produced by Detroit Fashion Pages; hair by Alex Emilio Salon in Royal Oak, makeup by Marijana Camaj and music by DJ Michael Oxner. Tickets for current DAM members will be $45, non-members $50. Limited space available.
This show will look at the entire creative process from concept to design to creation of an artistic and functional piece. Ten designers will take on this process in creating "Chair". The show will exhibit pieces from their creative process, including concept sketches, scale models, and the finished piece. The DAM Design Show will provide an intimate look into how design "happens", and results in unique functional pieces. Each of the designers or design teams will be invited from various disciplines – artists, designers, architects, engineers, carpenters, and others will bring their special eye and talent to the process. As Metro Detroit sharpens its focus on creative businesses as an economic growth industry for the area, the DAM Design Show is perfectly poised to explore these conversations. This exhibition reminds us all that art is a vital component of our everyday lives.
Following the DAM Design Show, these chairs will be shown at Mezzanine, February 4-15, 2009. Visit Mezzanine online .

Escondido City Council members will consider Wednesday a proposed 60-home subdivision on 43 acres of southern Escondido farmland just north of Felicita Park and west of Interstate 15.
Neighborhood opposition killed a similar subdivision proposed 13 years ago in the same area. City officials and representatives for developer New Urban West say the new proposal does a better job of preserving the area's rural charm.
The proposal would create a small public park around the area's popular duck pond, add hiking trails and avoid realigning Felicita Avenue, Hamilton Lane and other nearby roads.
The land must be annexed from the county into Escondido, and whether to pursue such an annexation is what the council will debate Wednesday.
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m. in City Hall, 201 N. Broadway.

Early Look: A Shaky Economic Start
The first data of 2014, along with projections by economists, suggest the loss of momentum in China's economy that began in December continued into the new year.
China data buffs have to make do with a meager crop of economic statistics at the start of the year. Most economic indicators suffer from distortion around the Lunar New Year holiday, which falls in January some years and February in others. To avoid misleading signals, China combines much of the data for January and February, meaning the numbers won't be out until March.
But most of the information available points in one direction: down.

Are you a big Naruto fan? Well below are some signs to show that you are addicted to Naruto!
· Dye your hair blonde and try to walk up a tree.
uh...that's it! (Man I'm addicted)
Proof that Sasuke cares for Sakura..
-During the bell test, when Sakura fainted from seeing his head above ground, and the rest below, Sasuke waited for her to wake up, even though he probably knows he's wasting time.
-When they were escorting Tazuna to the Wave Country, Sasuke rushed in front of Sakura to protect her and Tazuna, even though Kakashi would have come.
-When Sasuke and Naruto were fighting Haku, Zabuza went to attack Tazuna but Kakashi protected him and Sakura screamed. When she did, you could hear worry in Sasuke's voice when they heard her.
-During the Chuunin Exams in The Forest of Death, when Sasuke and Sakura first found Orochimaru, disguised as a grass nin, when he stabbed his leg to get rid of the whole frozen in fear thing, when he went to pick up Sakura, he could have done it many ways, but he chose to pick her up bridal style.
-Again during the Chunnin Exams in The Forest of Death, when Sasuke and Naruto were fighting Orochimaru disguised as a grass nin, after Orochimaru gave Naruto the five-pronged seal. When Sakura called him a coward, he reacted. He didn't react when Naruto called him a coward.
-After Orochimaru gave Sasuke the Cursed Seal, Sakura went to help him. I'm not sure if this is just because he was in a lot of pain, but instead of dealing with the pain by himself, like I thought he would, he actually let Sakura help him and the animators made him faint onto her. In addition, you could see how Sasuke squeezes Sakura's hand with his own, as if asking her to not let him go.
-Also during the Chuunin Exams in The Forest of Death, when Sasuke wakes up, the first thing he does is ask Sakura who hurt her. Even the the influence of the Curse Seal couldn't change the bond he has with her.
-Another in The Forest of Death, when Sakura hugged him, the Curse Seal receded. I think that happened because Sakura's just about the only person who can suppress Sasuke's dark side...the pity things is it wasn't enough...
-After Gaara semi-changed into his Shukaku form, and after he pinned Sakura to the tree with his sand hand, Sasuke told Naruto that he had better save Sakura no matter what, then run away.
-Also during this time, Sasuke also said that he wouldn't allow another important friend to die in front of him, referring to Sakura.
-Again during this time, when Sasuke went to catch Sakura after the sand released her, there were many ways of catching her, but he had to catch her bridal style. I know that's the way she fell, but then, who made her fall that way. The people who make Naruto. I say, they're hinting something by making Sakura fall in that manner.
-Once again, after Sasuke caught Sakura and went to lay her down on a branch, if you look closely, you will noticed his hand lingers under her head for a split second.
-Do I have to say it, when Sasuke told Pakkun to take care of Sakura, you could hear worry in his voice. His eyes also softened a bit.
-After the Hokage's funeral, in the flashback when Sakura asked Sasuke if he save her, he said that Naruto saved her. You can tell that he had regret and sadness in his voice. Like he wanted to save her.
-When they were escorting Idate through the race, while on the boat when the Rain nin were attacking, Sakura's arm was hit by a kunai. Even though it was only a small cut, when she cried out in pain, Sasuke showed a hint of worry on his face. (More than just a hint in my book.)
-When Ino hugged him during the Chuunin Exams, Sasuke was very mad and pissed off. But when Sakura hugged him in the hospital, he didn't have any hatred in his eyes and he let her.
-During Naruto and Sasuke's fight on the hospital roof, when Sakura ran in the way to try and stop them, Sasuke wanted to pull back. It means he cares for her well being in some way; or else, he would have just ran her through.
-This one I thought was implied. Who confronted Sasuke the night he left? Sakura. And there was more to it than it seems: I think Sakura, judging by the look Sasuke had in his eyes, really made Sasuke wonder if he should leave. Watch it closely, people!
-Again, when Sasuke was leaving, he put up with all of Sakura's talking instead of ignoring her like he normally does. He even gave her a speech. A short one, but still.
-Also when Sasuke was leaving, before he knocked her out, he said "Thank you." This shows that he was actually thankful that she loves him...provided that Sakura was almost the only person in the world who actually loved him (he lost his family after all) and still loves him...that's way worth to be thanking her for, don't you think?
-The night Sasuke was leaving, just before he said, "Sakura...Thank you" you can see, if you look closely, that he's biting his lower lip before he talks and then knocks her out.
-In the English dub, you can hear how sincere Sasuke's voice is.
-Also in the English dub, Sasuke, instead of saying, "Thank you" like in the Japanese, he says "Thank you for everything." I know they want to get the lip motions right but come on, how can that NOT point to something.
-When Sasuke knocked her out, he could have left her on the ground where she lay, but he chose to lay her on the bench.
-After Sasuke knocked Sakura out I could tell that he caught her. The thud when the screen was blank sounds like Sakura fell to the ground but it's actually Sasuke catching her. I know this because of the way Sakura started to fall. That ground was stone and if Sasuke didn't catch her, she would have hit her head severely. If that happened, she wouldn't have been able to wake up the next morning when the ANBU people woke her up.
-Sasuke knows that Sakura is weaker than Naruto, yet he doesn't call her 'weak' or 'idiot'. Just 'annoying'. And I also think that he calls her like that in a good way...I mean by annoying someone, you could really make yourself noticed and even show your better side...Welll, at least this is how it is the real life...So why the hell this cannot be in anime too? In conclusion: Sakura manages to at least make him feel something.

Children's Health
White Substance Covering Child`s Stool
Our daughter is 2 1/2 and we have noticed on a couple of occasions that her stool has been small marble size and appears to be covered or partially covered in a white substance (I would describe it as a mildewy covering and my wife - strand like that envelops the feces). Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
While this situation may turn out to be within normal limits, I encourage you to discuss this with your child's health care provider to help coordinate whether it occurs when certain foods are eaten, after travel to specific locations, etc. The situation merits an office visit.

How to add AIM buddies to Google Plus?
Here's a question from one of our readers:
I was recently reading a tech blog and found that there was an option to talk using AIM Chat on Google Talk. Can you tell me how to make use of this on Google Plus's chat function?
Thanks for the question. If you use the same Google account for Google Talk, Gmail and Google Plus there's no difference at all. Simply follow the instructions to add the AIM contact to Google Talk and the same will be reflected on Google Plus.
Importing your contacts on AIM to Google Talk/Plus Chat is pretty simple, all you need to do is enter their email address in the search bar of GTalk on Gmail and choose 'Invite to chat' in the bubble that appears to the right. Same applies when you are using Google Talk Desktop or any other 3rd Party chat client.
After adding your buddies, chances are that you are looking to block someone on Google+ chat. If so, read this.

Dying to know the inner workings of my family's finances? When Jessica and Sarah welcomed me as a guest blogger on their site, Pretty Providence, to share my thoughts about budgeting, I was pretty stoked! Since I feel like I dedicate, oh about 99.9% of my life "watching our finances", this was right up my alley 🙂
Their philosophy is gorgeous, "We love nice things just
like the next person, but realize the importance of living frugally. We have always been a support to each other in this regard and we started this blog to encourage & inspire others in their own monetary goals and prove that life can still be great on a budget."
These ladies are just so darn classy–and so cool! Check them out, and thanks so much for hosting me today, Jessica and Sarah!

1. Re: Nexus 5Ann154 Sep 12, 2013 8:24 AM (in response to bwk5150)
The FCC filing for the device that many believe might be the Nexus 5 doesn't have the radio support for the Verizon Wireless network. The tech news sites for Android devices have already discussed this "disappointment".
2. Re: Nexus 5bwk5150 Sep 12, 2013 8:28 AM (in response to Ann154)
Correct I saw that also I'm really hoping they are wrong the only thing that gives me hope is the Nexus 7 is supported by Verizon. I would really like to hear why they won't carry it. So Verizon lets hear it!
3. Re: Nexus 5Ann154 Sep 12, 2013 8:45 AM (in response to bwk5150)
The Nexus 7 with LTE only supports the 4G LTE network. It doesn't work on the 1xRTT or 3G EDVO network used by Verizon Wireless.
Verizon Wireless certain won't make an official or non-official statement on a device that hasn't even been announced Google.
Until then all we can do is speculate.
4. Re: Nexus 521stNow Sep 12, 2013 10:15 AM (in response to bwk5150)
If Google/LG doesn't make a Verizon Wireless-compatible device, how can Verizon Wireless carry it?
5. Re: Nexus 5bwk5150 Sep 12, 2013 10:43 AM (in response to 21stNow)
21st that isnt how it works LG would have glady put the bands needed for it
to work on Verizon but Verizon refuses to carrier the Nexus line. My guess
is they want control over the phones which they wouldn't have with the
Nexus line. Verizon is the slowerst carrier to receive updates.
6. Re: Nexus 5demmo86rt Sep 12, 2013 11:03 AM (in response to bwk5150)
That's not true, it's Google's decision to not make a Nexus phone compatible with Verizon's network.
7. Re: Nexus 5bwk5150 Sep 12, 2013 11:07 AM (in response to demmo86rt)
demmon no offense but you need to some research on the Nexus program. The nexus programs gets updates as soon as they come out hense they come from Google not the carrier like the rest of the android phones. Verizon is the One network of the big four that refuses to allow this. That is why the last few Nexus's have not been on Verizon.
8. Re: Nexus 5BGGaynor82 Sep 12, 2013 11:10 AM (in response to bwk5150)
Unfortunately, I believe Verizon will NEVER have a Nexus device again, for the reasons mentioned by other commenters. Verizon is notrious for desiring to maintain iron-fisted control over the devices connected to their network, under the guise of "security" and "user experience".
Even more unfortunately, I'd guess conservatively that 9/10 Verizon customers have no idea what the Nexus devices are, or why they might want them as opposed to other devices. Power Users like ourselves are NOT the common denominator, and NOT Verizon's key demographic.
It simply won't happen. Verizon bungled and mishandled the Galaxy Nexus, and will never have another Nexus device on its network.
This is why I am 99% decided at this point that I will be leaving Verizon Wireless as soon as possible once my contract expires this December. Good riddance, I say.
9. Re: Nexus 5bwk5150 Sep 12, 2013 11:15 AM (in response to BGGaynor82)
I think you hit the nail on the head. I struggle do to Verizon having the best network in my area. I'm hoping AT&T will make it better so I can switch. I agree most people dont know what the Nexus program is and don't care. I have a family plan with 7 lines and I'm thinking the same as you about switching Verizon will through bloatware all day on your phone but won't let google update a phone. It is truly sad.

PHIL Shepherdson queries (Letters December 26) the reason why three No 6 buses arrived at once at his stop.
Unlike railways with their dedicated tracks, and some cities with segregated busways, York's buses must share much of the highway network with other users.
If a bus is delayed, a gap occurs in the service. It will spend more time picking up passengers at each subsequent stop, and fall still farther behind. Following buses may then catch it up.
Such bus "bunching" can be reduced by priority measures such as bus lanes, bus gates and bus priority at traffic signals.
York is increasingly using technology that detects buses on the approaches to traffic signals and gives them priority. Real-time departures can be shown at stops and via hand-held internet devices.
But we are still caught in a vicious circle. Greater bus reliability would encourage more commuters to switch from cars.
But greater bus reliabilty will only come with reduced peak car use, and wider public acceptance of York's need for bus priority measures.

wikiHow to Persuade People to Vote for You
Three Methods:Know Your AudienceSend a MessageRun a Winning CampaignCommunity Q&A
Whether it's an election for class president, team captain, or United States president, winning an election requires a combination of charisma, campaign organization and a compelling message. Learn how to persuade people to vote for you after the jump.
Know Your Audience
1Learn about the big issues. Talk to voters to find out what they care about in this election. Are they concerned with big questions about the quality of the incumbent's leadership, or are they just worried about getting their tax bill lower. Learn everything you can about these issues, and develop considered but strong stances. Don't just run for election because you want to win—you need to care about the issues that are at stake.
2Research the competition. Elections aren't solitaire: you have to consider the other candidates and figure out how to outwit their campaign and dissuade people from voting for them. Find out everything there is to know about your main competitors. Try to distinguish yourself from them on key issues and play up any weaknesses or scandals they might be trying to hide.
3Find your base. Not everyone is going to like or vote for you, but nor is every voter going to be a tough sell. Find the core groups and demographics that are excited to vote for you, and reach out to them early. These supporters are vital to organizing volunteers and raising campaign funds. You don't have to spend a lot of time convincing these people, but don't neglect them too much—a candidate that alienates his or her base is almost always done for.
4Identify swing voters. Undecided voters might infuriate the politically savvy, but they still make or break every election. Learn what they care about and what factors or policies could earn you their votes—then market to them aggressively. After building and organizing your base, winning over voters that are on the fence or that you can steal from your opponents is the main mission of your campaign.
5Poll regularly. It's rare that the first campaign strategy you try will work perfectly. Conduct polls of voters to find out how you are doing and adjust your campaign accordingly. Be sure to break down your poll samples by demographic and how likely they are to actually vote.
Send a Message
1Tell a story. Voters don't connect with a set of bullet-pointed policy positions—they connect with a narrative. Rags to riches, the underdog fighting against entrenched interests, a movement that takes the community back from outsiders or insiders that have undermined it—these are narratives people believe in. Your campaign has to tell voters a story about you—and themselves—that moves them and gets them excited to vote for you. Your campaign materials should describe your vision of what this election means and where the community is going.
2Use your winning personality. It's perhaps a sad truth of politics that people prefer to vote for the most likable candidates over the ones that are more experienced or that offer better policies for their demographic. Many great candidates have thrown away an election by appearing too stiff or aloof. People need to feel that you are like them, that they could be friends with you or at least share a meal with you. Do everything you can to be charismatic, humble, polite, friendly and humorous, and avoid sounding elitist or like a career bureaucrat.
3Stay on message. Both the media and your opposition will be trying to get you to talk about scandals in your past, issues where you stance doesn't resonate with voters, or whatever story dominates the current news cycle. Don't get distracted! In debates and campaign events, always try to bring the topic back to your core message and areas of strength.
4Come up with a slogan. Make it short and sweet—it has to be something that people can remember. Try to make it rhyme, alliterate, or give it a cadence that people can chant. Bonus points if you can use it to help people remember your name. Nuanced policy papers can help you win endorsements, but the average voter is only going to remember what as much about you as you can fit on a bumper sticker—so make sure it distinguishes you from your opponents and connects with something they care about.
- If there is a single issue that dominates the campaign that you can take a stand on, don't be afraid to make that your slogan, like: "John Smith: People Over Pipelines" or even "John Smith: No to the New Stop Light."
5Go on the attack. Call out your opponents on any controversial positions they may have held in the past, or any personal skeletons they have in their closet. People don't like negative campaigning, but it still works. Too much mudslinging can backfire on you, but successful campaigns have to have some bite. A vote against your opponent is usually as good as a vote for you.
- If you can manage it, try to have a third party do the criticism while you appear to stay above the fray. Successful presidential candidates often let their running mates act as an "attack dog" while they focus on the positive.
Run a Winning Campaign
1Rally volunteers. Even in a small election, it's hard to run a winning campaign alone. Sign up volunteers to help you organize your campaign events and go out to make your case to voters. Get your friends and family to work with you. One dedicated volunteer can be worth 100 votes on election day.
2Press the flesh. Meet as many people in person as you can. Even in the digital age, face-to-face conversations are still the best way to win people over. Have you and your most persuasive volunteers and campaign staff canvas door-to-door and meet voters at busy events and public spaces as much as possible. Many people might turn you away, but the ones that take the time to listen to you—or even shake your hand—are far more likely to vote for you, donate or volunteer.
3Distribute swag for name recognition. The most tangible products of any big campaign are signs, posters, pamphlets, buttons, bumper stickers and t-shirts. Many of these products have little more on them besides your name and slogan—or even just a logo. They don't do much to actually win individual votes, but they do get your name out there and potentially get people to look up your website. They also show voters where you have existing support in the community, and many are only willing to join a movement when it is already suitably popular.
- You might not actually change any minds with your yard signs, but your volunteers will be demoralized if they have to campaign in a neighborhood that only has signs for your opponent. Politics is an arms race. If your opponents do it, you need to be prepared to match them.
4Fundraise. Winning doesn't come cheap. Every major campaign needs money to print campaign materials, organize events and potentially pay hired campaign staff. Start with potential big donors, but small donations of just a few dollars can add up quick too. If a voter seems well convinced to support you, always ask them to donate as well.
5Get out the vote. All the fundraising, campaign events and compelling arguments won't matter if you can't get people to show up on election day. Do everything you can to get your supporters to the polls, from a simple reminder email to providing transportation.
