Tiny Planet
Tiny Planet is an interesting effect to be made from a photo or drawing. I saw it for the first time at Wojciech Toman's devlog. Here are some tiny planets made by me recently:
To make a tiny planet, you have to first take a 360 degrees panorama photo of some landscape. For stiching photos into single panoramic one I recommend free application from Microsoft Research called Microsoft Image Composite Editor (ICE). Of course there are many others availble. Then the process involves some manual graphics work and/or smart usage of some filters, where the crucial one is converting image to polar coordinates. In GIMP you can find the appropriate menu command in Filters / Distorts / Polar Coordinates.
The biggest question when making such images appears to be how to fill the inside and the outside of the circle forming surface of the planet. Do you have any ideas better than the ones I used here?

CONFIRMED: Lamborghini LP700-4 To Get 700 Horsepower, Pushrod Suspension
Rather than posting unsubstantiated rumors like most other blogs do, we made an effort to confirm some interesting information regarding Lamborghini's supercar.
Autoguide was able to speak to a Lamborghini rep after the SEMA Show had wrapped for the day. The rep, who refused to be named, said that the car will "blow away" the Ferrari 458 Italia and McLaren MP4-12c. Among the specifics cited were a full carbon monocoque chassis, pushrod suspension and a 700 horsepower engine. This seems to jibe with the latest rumors on Ferrarichat.
The Lambo repped also mentioned that the car will debut at the Geneva Auto Show in March, so if we somehow turn out to be wrong, you can mock us mercilessly in a few months.

Is it possible that nearly $6 million in citations generated by red light cameras were issued illegally over the past eight years in Austin?
Bryon Schirmbeck, who has led a long, lonely fight against the cameras in Texas, said the city has been unable to show it ever did an engineering study to establish the case for the cameras before they first went into operation in May 2008.
What's at stake for the city is an average of $735,000 a year through an average of 9,800 annual citations for red light camera violations.
"So, what it would boil down to is that every single ticket Austin has ever issued has been illegal," Schirmbeck contends. "They never had the authority from the state to issue them since they didn't meet the statutory requirements to impose the civil penalty."
Schirmbeck, Texas coordinator for the national Campaign for Liberty, said he can find no evidence Austin established a citizen's advisory committee to review and make recommendations based on the engineering study to the City Council.
The study and the committee review are requirements of section 707.003 of the Texas Transportation Code, passed seven months before the Austin City Council approved a $9.7 million contract with Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc. of Glendale, Ariz.
As of late Tuesday city transportation officials were unable to provide Watchdog with any documentation to show the city followed legal protocol before signing a contract in effect until March 19, 2018.
Schirmbeck said he also isn't sure what would happen if the city is unable to provide proof it followed the law before completing the installation of 15 cameras at major intersections at the end of March 2009.
The Transportation Code suggests Austin would lose the authority to issue citations, but is unclear how that might work.
Schirmbeck has fought red light cameras for almost six years, having led a petition drive that forced Baytown to take down its camera system.
He helped champion a bill in the past legislative session that would have outlawed the cameras statewide, but the bill died in state Rep. Joe Pickett's House Transportation Committee.
And while cities like Richardson, which was forced last month to suspend its red light camera program after losing a lawsuit, other Texas cities are pushing back with tens of millions of dollars in citation revenue at stake.
Schirmbeck said he has recently met with resistance when asking for public red light camera contract and performance documents to which he is entitled. Late last week in response to a detailed records request, the City of Garland denied the records pending a request to the attorney general to withhold or redact public documents, citing 10 exceptions to the Texas Public Information Act.
While Austin has responded to his requests and has provided voluminous documentation, none of it pertains to the point of Schirmbeck's request.
In his initial Public Information Act request on July 22, Schirmbeck asked for the names of the citizens advisory committee, its agendas and minutes, the engineering report and a copy of the original contract between the city and Redflex.
The city acknowledged receipt of the request with an email on July 26 and informed Schirmbeck that because of the volume of records requests it would take 45 to 60 business days to complete his request.
Nonetheless, in 12 business days Schirmbeck received a package in the mail with paper documents and a disc containing the same information.
On that same day, Aug. 10, Schirmbeck emailed to inform the city he had received 245 pages of documents, none of which contained what he was looking for. You can peruse every page of what Schirmbeck was sent here.
City officials attempted to answer Schirmbeck with something called a pre-activation report filed with the Texas Department of Transportation. It is not an engineering report and was filed in August 2009, 15 months after the first cameras were operational.
On Aug. 15, Kristin Trevino, customer solutions coordinator for the city's Law Department, emailed Schirmbeck that in her opinion the city had "provided all responsive information for your request."
On Tuesday morning, Watchdog walked through the request and the chain of correspondence with Joana Perez, spokeswoman for Austin's transportation department.
Watchdog requested that Perez attempt to locate the engineering study and any evidence that a citizens advisory committee was ever established and carried out the responsibilities designated to it by law.
Schirmbeck — and Watchdog — are still waiting.

Dutch banking and insurance giant ING on Monday took a step closer to separating with its US-based insurance arm, saying it planned on selling a further 11.5 percent of its shares in the unit.
The sale of some 30 million shares in ING US through an initial public offering will see the Amsterdam-based ING's stake fall from 71.0 to around 60.0 percent, the group said in a statement.
"ING Group intends to use the proceeds of the planned transaction for the reduction of the Group's core debt," it said.
The sale's final timing, size and offer price were yet to be determined and "remained subject to market and other conditions," ING added.
On the New York Stock Exchange, ING US's share price fell by 1.75 percent to $30.685 (22.84 euros) on Monday.
ING in May sold off more than a quarter of its stake in its US-based daughter company, hoping to raise an eventual 1.5 billion euros through the sale.
The deal is part of a drive by the group, the Netherlands' largest bank, to restructure its business as it continues to repay 10 billion euros in state aid, received in October 2008 during the height of the financial crisis.
ING is scheduled to shed its remaining stake in ING US by the end of 2016.

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment.
I would recommend it highly. Very clean and lovely decor'. Note that the bathrooms were down the hall not adjoining to the bedrooms but still lovely. Couldn't get the TVs to work in 2 rooms. Beds were very comfortable. Location is perfect for visiting old town Savannah. Trolley stop is near by but everything is within 1 mile if you don't mind walking. FYI Elizabeth's on 37 isn't worth the high price but Lady and Son's was great food. I would certainly recommend this apartment and will return again.
Great place to stay. Road and street traffic were a tad loud in the first bedroom. So if you have a little one with you or are a light sleeper, I suggest grabbing the second bedroom. I misread the signs for street sweeping and got a ticket (totally my fault!!! Not the property owners). Street sweeping happens on Saturday night so definitely be sure to move your car. Several very minor things kept me from giving 5 stars, but would definitely stay there again.
The property is lovely! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
This vacation rental is exceptionally clean and and beautifully decorated. Staying here is akin to taking a step back in time to another era with the benefit of modern day appliances and bathrooms. The location is in the heart of historic Savannah and is ideal for those who love to stroll along shady streets with occasional quiet moments on nearby park benches. Clary's, a wonderful place for breakfast or lunch, is very close to this property and was the location for several scenes in a movie filmed in Savannah. While staying her, we were allowed the advantage of watching the filming of a film being shot depicting the early 20's. The manager of the property was very kind and attentive to our needs. She is to be commended for making our stay pleasant. I would have given this property a five star rating except it is depicted as handicapped accessible. While it is handicapped accessible for standard wheelchair accessibility, the bathroom would not accommodate a power wheelchair and there are NO grab bars to access the commode or shower. The bathroom is too small to turn a wheelchair around to go from commode to shower. i am an above knee amputee who had to hold to my wheelchair to stand and pivot around on my remaining foot to use the commode and had to back my wheelchair into the hall to turn around to access the shower. There are NO pull down seats or other seating for those truly handicapped. A double amputee or a below waist paralyzed person could NOT shower or access the commode in the first bathroom. The commode could be accessed in the second bathroom except, again, no grab bars. WARNING: Do not use this location if you do not transfer well from wheelchair to commode without using grab bars.
Charming, charming, charming!!! Right in the historic district within walking distance to lots of attractions. Weekend getaway with high school friends.....Great place for visiting the historic sights of Savannah.
My wife and I took my mother-n-law to Savannah for our first time there. At first we thought of renting 2 rooms in a few hotels in the Historic section of Savannah. Then since that would be too expensive I looked at VRBO. We had used VRBO twice before and had great success. We found this place to be the perfect place. This was a beautiful condo. Did not want to leave! We parked the car and never used it the rest of the week. The building was charmingly old, but nicely restored, really giving the feeling of staying in old Savannah.
Our location was a block from Forsyth Park. Walking distance to the River Street and anywhere in Historic Savannah. The stop for the bus free fare is a block away to take you all through the historic section. The apartment was very clean and beds were comfortable. If you are looking for a rental we would recommend this place hands down. Location is perfect and the owner did a great job with this unit.

The Coalition of New Hampshire Taxpayers anti-voter fraud counterpart in North Carolina has a victory in the conviction of their first interstate vote thief. This took several years to unfold. Just like in NH, entrenched bureaucrats, non-profits, and some politicians, combine their efforts to make voter fraud as easy as possible.
In this case VIP-NC caught an interstate voter who was arrested in Tennessee
Congratulations to VIP-NC and hopefully this will send a message to all who intend to steal another person's vote – you are being watched.
VIP (Voter Integrity Project – NC) Effort Leads to Vote Fraud Conviction
November 25, 2015
Nov 24, 2015 — Rutherfordton, NC — The first felon convicted under the VIP's "FLANC" project, Pasco Parker, yesterday, received the maximum sentence from a "disgusted" Judge Robert Martelle, after Parker admitted to voting in three states during the same November 2012 federal election.
"This conviction finally proves that vote fraud is real in North Carolina," said Jay DeLancy, Director of the Voter Integrity Project – NC, "and that collapses the argument against voter ID from people who deny vote fraud exists."
Parker was sentenced to 6 to 17 months, but it was suspended and he was placed on supervised probation for 24 months. He also was ordered to complete 48 hours of community service, pay a $250 fee, a $190 court cost and a $500 fine, according to sources in Rutherford County.
[Note: We've called the offices of the prosecuting District Attorney, Ted Bell, to congratulate and request an interview, but he is in court today and a staff paralegal said he would contact us soon, so please check back at this site for follow-up information.]
"We recommend that his community service not involve election work," said DeLancy, "but joking aside, this crime is the lowest form of felony under NC general statute and that reality needs to be addressed by lawmakers."
Click this image to read the RC Catalyist account of Parker's bad day in court.
According to a report of the conviction in the RC Catalyst, the Director of Elections in Rutherford County, Debbie Bedford, said this was the first conviction of vote fraud that she had ever seen in her 20-year career.
Vote fraud is a Class I (as in the class below "H") felony under NC law, making it the lowest form of felony in the entire statutes. Stealing pine needles from somebody else's property is a Class H felony.
"We've had data base programmers and a slew of volunteers working on Parker's case for almost three years and we're convinced the main reason vote fraud prosecutions are so hard to get is that the penalties are just too low," said DeLancy. "When our state lawmakers view stealing pine needles as a more serious crime than stealing elections, the public should light a fire under their feet."
Parker's colorful record of eluding arrest was documented by the Voter Integrity Project, since early 2013, when the group reported his suspicious activity to election officials in both Florida and North Carolina.
His arrest last June in Tennessee was documented here. VIP's research indicated Parker had voted Rutherford County during the November 2012 elections and also voted in Nashville, Tennessee and Port Richie, Florida, all during the same election, which is a felony under both state and federal law.
"This guy reminds us of El Chapo, the famed Mexican drug lord who keeps evading justice," said DeLancy, "but we're pleased to announce that the system has finally caught up with Pasco Parker."

While last year Dabur India launched its Red Toothpaste with STAR Parivaar awards – a property of STAR India television, this year the FMCG major is looking at a repeat performance. This time the awards will mark the launch of another new product Dabur Anmol Shampoo. "It proved to be an excellent platform to launch a product last year and hence we decided to launch Anmol this year with STAR again," says Sharad Goel, Head, Corporate Communication, Dabur India.
Throwing more light on Dabur's reasons to associate with STAR Parivaar, Goel adds, "Given the mass appeal of STAR TV, the brand makes a perfect fit with the awards. We realised that STAR Parivaar played a critical role in creating awareness around the new product. In the past year, Red Toothpaste recorded a phenomenal growth and one of the reasons behind it was this association."
Goel explains that this is precisely what the corporate house is expecting this year, "It was their first attempt last year. The popularity of the awards will increase this year and so we are expecting better results."
STAR India is betting on the anticipation that the popularity of the awards would increase this year as well. "The response from advertisers is already indicating that," expresses Kevin Vaz, Head, Sales, STAR India. "We sold all slots in a week's time and two months before the event. Last year we had one main sponsor and three associates, this year the latter increases to eight associates."
Vaz informs that STAR has increased the event's ad rates this year. "The last year's performance was brilliant. Naturally, we are expecting making it better and hence is the increase, despite which the response is good. We have new advertisers this year. Importantly they come from different categories. From FMCGs to cement to hardware, which means, that irrespective of TG, advertisers consider STAR Parivaar as a good medium to address their audience."
The new advertisers on the property this year include the likes of Electrolux, Intel, Promise Gel from Balsara, Heinz, Glucon D, Gujarat Ambuja Cement, Goa Tourism, Godrej Renew Hair Colour and Fairever amongst others.
Explaining more on what the Parivaar means to the advertiser, Vaz remarks, "Parivaar is treated like a cricketing activity. With the curtain raiser, the 'Jodi No 1' episode, the event, the post-event, all put together, it is almost a month's activity, which includes cross channel promos. Dabur Red Toothpaste is only an example of the kind of mileage a product can garner. Parivaar definitely means impact for advertisers."

Co-founder Katherine Angell made this dream turn into a vision for educating chefs. In 1946, New Haven Restaurant Institute opened and at the time it was the only college of its kind. In 1951, after having two names, they finally decided on a name that has stuck with it since. After that the school became bigger and more well known, now they have over 48,000 alumni serving the profession they studied and representing the CIA education.

To start the process, I carefully measured the front of my chassis and the engine to determine where all of the important features are in relation to the engine. I established a coordinate system with 0,0,0 at the back of the block, the x axis aligned with the centerline of the crank, the y axis to the driver side, and z up. In the process of taking measurements, I determined the critical dimensions necessary to route the primary tubes from the exhaust ports to the collectors without contacting the steering shaft, block, frame, driveshaft tunnel, and other things that get in the way. The critical dimensions include the position and orientation of each of the exhaust ports relative to the crank centerline. The dimensions were used to generate a SolidWorks model of the headers. Here are some images of the SolidWorks models of the chassis and headers.
The routing of the tubes was calculated using a computer program that I wrote which takes the following parameters as input and gives the following values as output:
L1 Length of first straight section of tube exiting port
S Desired length of Header tube
Xp X Position of port relative to centerline of crank
Yp Y Position of port relative to centerline of crank
Zp Z Position of port relative to centerline of crank
Orientation of port
Xc X Position of collector entry relative to centerline of crank
Yc Y Position of collector entry relative to centerline of crank
Zc Z Position of collector entry relative to centerline of crank
Orientation of collector entry
Bend radius of mandrel bends used to make header.
Lengths of straight sections and degree and orientation of bent section required to route the header.
The calculated header dimensions were put into the SolidWorks model. Many iterations were tried until I had models with which I was satisfied.
Once satisfied, I made a fixture to build the headers using a junk engine on an engine stand. The fixture allowed me to rigidly place the flanges and collectors into their prescribed positions and to assemble the pieces into position for welding. The images below show the passenger side header pieces assembled and ready to weld. The hose clamps were used to hold things together for tack welding.
The headers are now complete and installed, but here are some more pictures of the assembly on the garage floor prior to installation.
I now have an exhaust that is all mine and of which I am not ashamed.

Medical education is currently a hot topic. More and more people want to be involved in developing new educational and assessment methods and in conducting research in medical education. These developments have an increasing influence on the work of everybody in health care. Of course, it is nice that our discipline is high on the agenda, but some major challenges need to be tackled if the specialty wants to be taken seriously, as we outline below.
Make practical training more effective
Many of the developments and research in medical education have focused on the undergraduate curriculum, especially the theoretical parts. Clinical attachments and postgraduate training have not received nearly as much attention. This is unfortunate because not only are these practical aspects largely unstructured but they also waste too much time on non-educational activities and rely on learning by doing.12
Changes in society have made this approach inadequate. Firstly, patients' growing awareness about quality of care makes them understandably reluctant to act as learning tools for medical students or registrars. Secondly, the European Working Time Directive, which limits the number of hours a registrar is allowed to work to 58 a week, has implications for training. The directive is a good thing for individual patient care, as working long hours increases the risk of medical errors,34 but there is a downside. The evidence from cognitive psychological research on expertise shows that to become an expert you need many hours of practice.5
The challenges are thus to find ways to allow registrars to practise without using patients as learning objects and to optimise the educational effectiveness of …

Hairstyles say a lot about a person: tidy trims exude responsibility, vibrant colors display confidence, and slithering snakes warn against eye contact. Wear your heart on your head with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of salon services at Salon Serenity in Tuscaloosa.
The talented staff members at Salon Serenity, a Paul Mitchell establishment, attend continuing-training courses to keep their techniques up to date and to polish off their beauty-boosting services. The skilled stylists craft unwieldy strands into formal, elegant coiffures ($40+) while makeup artists daub colorful cosmetic products onto blank face canvases ($25). Rather than diving headfirst into a pile of red pistachios, guests can change their hair color at the Paul Mitchell Color Bar with custom hues ($45+) and full-foil highlights ($80+). Meanwhile, other locks revel in their natural glory with a clear-shine treatment ($50+, $25 for clear-shine top coat), and scissors snip away split ends and access inches to create masterpiece manes ($15+ for kids, $20+ for men, $30+ for women). While basking in Salon Serenity's soothing environment with sleek, wood-paneled floors and pendant lighting, guests are treated to a complimentary sugary scrub, followed by a relaxing hot-towel treatment that leaves skin feeling as soft as new-hatched puppies.

This program is Designed to help Investors build wealth with buy, fix, and hold cash-flow residential properties.�� The secret of building wealth in real estate is to use private money to leverage your investments on rental properties:
The secret of building wealth in real estate is to use private money to leverage your investments on rental properties:
Instead of using all your money to finance a single rental project, you can put a small amount of your capital into multiple rental properties. In the end, part of the profit from many properties is often much greater than the profit from one.
The key to building wealth is to make sure you are generating more cash flow out of your rental properties than your cost of living. You can accomplish this by having more rental properties.
Overtime cash-flow and equity will increase thanks to inflation. If your rental income and your property���s value increase with inflation (about 4.1% annually) you can generate cash-flow. Here���s how it works:
As your rental income increases, loan payments remain fixed, which results in additional cash-flow.
As your property���s value increases over time and loan balance goes down, you generate equity.

Warrior Hike
About the Organization:
Historically military units would experience a lengthy journey home after fighting a campaign abroad. During this journey home warriors would process and decompress from their wartime experiences. But in today's age of modern transportation military personnel can find themselves home within a few days of serving in a combat zone.
Since 2001 over 2.5 million veterans have returned home from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but many of them have never transitioned from their experiences. This is evident by the recent report from the Department of Veteran Affairs which states that over 20% of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
In 2012 after returning home from three combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan Warrior Hike founder Sean Gobin hiked all 2,185 miles of the Appalachian Trail. Recognizing the therapeutic effects of long distance hiking Sean created the "Walk Off The War" Program which is designed to support veterans transitioning from their military service by thru-hiking America's National Scenic Trails.
Veterans participating in the "Walk Off The War" Program will receive various forms of support during and after their thru-hike. First, veterans will receive the necessary equipment and supplies required to complete a thru-hike of a National Scenic Trail.
Next, Warrior Hike will coordinate trail town support with the numerous veteran organizations and local communities that are located along the National Scenic Trails. Trail town support will include transportation, food, and lodging in addition to providing the opportunity to socialize with veterans from past wars and with local community groups.
Lastly, Warrior Hike will assist veterans with future employment opportunities offered by the numerous supporters of the "Walk Off The War" Program and offered by partnered veteran job placement companies and veteran hiring services.

Homemade Whole Wheat Tortillas
Be the first to review
READY IN: 40mins
Recipe by paula
I was looking for a recipe that didn't include all the sugar and lard and other additives that store-bought tortillas provide.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 2⁄3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 2⁄3 tablespoon shortening
- 2⁄3 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1⁄2 cup boiling water
Directions See How It's Made
- Mix the dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
- Cut in the shortening.
- Add the boiling water slowly, mixing well with your hands as you go. Stop when the dough is fairly thick. You might not use all the water. Or if the dough seems dry, add a little more water 1 tsp at a time.
- Sprinkle a cutting board with whole wheat pastry flour and knead until the dough is elastic.
- Brush the top with a small amount of cooking oil and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into golf-ball sized balls then roll out to desired thickness and diameter.
- Stack on a plate with waxed paper between each one. Top with a tea towel until ready to cook.
- Cook over medium heat in a cast-iron griddle or skillet until browned. Flip over and brown the other side.
- These should keep in the refrigerator for about a week. They also freeze very well.

Tags: Disney, Shanghai, English Teaching
I'm sure that all you English-teaching poddies are aware of this but, per this Wall Street Journal article, Disney-branded English schools opened in Shanghai last year, and Disney is considering expanding. What is Podcasting's answer to this? Mulan-pod? No Disney already has that. WushuPod?
Personally, it sounds kind of cheesy to me, but it also seems like the sort of thing that might take off. Lots of singing and product placement. I'd go crazy but, if anyone's interested, here's a job advertisement.

After all the stress of getting into a college, most students are surprised to learn that the stress isn't over. The adjustment to college life can be overwhelming and confusing at times, but if you know the right information it can be easier. Here are some tips to help you make a seamless transition into life at college.
When you make out your work and class schedule, be realistic. If you're a night person, you will never succeed in attending early morning classes. Adopt a schedule that fits with your body's internal clock.
With a tight budget, it is likely you will need a loan to pay for college. College is an investment in your future. Consider all factors carefully, but don't be afraid to take out a reasonable amount of debt to secure your future.
Research and educate yourself the vast array of the scholarships that are available to you as a college student. A lot of people don't even know that they can get financial help because of a unique factor; even left handed people have their own scholarships in some places! Also check into forgivable loans and government grants.
Don't try to do everything in one semester. It's easy to be an overachiever when there's so much to do and everything's new. You will burn out quickly if you try to take the maximum number of credits and join every campus activity that sounds interesting. Take a reasonable number of credits and try one or two activities your first semester. Continue reading

In the story, which is virtually non-existent, our heroes will save the city, Batman will run and fight with villains on the streets of Gotham City, it comes as no surprise, but Flash will be in gorillas that is strange. But do battle in the game practically implemented, you just run forward, jumping over obstacles, under some slipping below, collect coins and weapons, you can strike the bandits / gorillas that will be on your way, then you will encounter a boss, against which to to use the same weapon, but many times, trying to avoid the passing of the same obstacles. As for the bosses, it is all too trivial a Joker in Gotham, that most likely good Joker everyone loves, but he in the tank and not drawn as I would like, but in gorilla gorilla boss is also just great.
Of the positive aspects of the game Batman & The Flash: Hero Run include:
But unfortunately it was not without punctures, especially in this genre, especially if touched DC Comics ... I do not want to say that the game has caused some unpleasant emotions, but a lot of questions:

How can I make the form responsive?Asked by eng.emad on October 19, 2016 at 08:15 AM
I would like to view this for from my mobile without flip the position of the screen ??? how can i do that ?
JotForm Support
I opened your form and I can see that it is already mobile responsive. This means that the form will adjust automatically depending on the screen size. It will be responsive even if you rotate your device in portrait or landscape mode. We actually have a guide on How-to-make-forms-mobile-responsive.
If I understand you correctly, you would like to prevent the screen rotation of the device? If that is the case, then you need to configure that in your device settings and not in the form.
Hope that helps. Thank you.

Reviewers across the Web felt that there isn't another minivan on the market that can match the Chrysler feature for feature. The 2008 Chrysler Town & Country is loaded with items that meet the needs of families on the go who can genuinely use the underfloor storage, multiple 12-volt outlets, grocery bag hooks behind the front seats, power sliding doors, and all its unique features.
Cars.com listed "Lots of kid-friendly features" and "Innovative storage solutions" for the 2008 Chrysler Town & Country. Spot on. What's not to like about available Sirius TV, dual-rear LCD monitors, several versions of the MyGIG entertainment system, and a second-row 115-volt outlet to keep game consoles running or laptops charged? Chrysler reintroduced the world to the minivan in 1983, and the company really does know its stuff when it comes to including features that make a difference to families on a practical basis.
Car and Driver does some arithmetic and concludes, "The 2008 models have 35 new or improved features, but equally compelling is pricing that comes in below 2007 stickers." Motor Trend adds, "Based on our drives in a range of preproduction 2008 units, Chrysler looks to have leaped straight back to the front of the minivan pack. Astutely reworking its family favorite, the automaker has retained the good stuff (the innovative quick-fold Stow 'n Go seats unveiled for 2004), jettisoned the Achilles' heels (dated jellybean design, weak powertrains), and added a ton of desirable new features--all while trimming the bottom line."
While a shopper can get lost within the 2008 Chrysler Town & Country's three trim levels (LX, Touring, and Limited), the option groups, and individual options, TheCarConnection.com recommends selecting your seating configuration first. USAToday described them succinctly: "Basic layout is a two-passenger second-row bench seat with a three-passenger third row that folds into the floor. There's under-floor storage in front of the second row. Optional Stow 'n Go ($795 on Chryslers, $945 on Dodges) retains the disappearing third row, and allows you to tuck the second row under the floor for room enough to swallow 4x8-foot sheets of building material. Swivel 'n Go ($495) surrenders the second-row Stow 'n Go feature, but retains under-floor storage."
The last option (Swivel 'n Go) enables second-row passengers to face rearward. Additionally, this option includes a pedestal-mount table that can be secured in the floor between the second and third rows—a great feature when those in back want to play a four-person game or share snacks. But beware, legroom gets tight when the chairs face each other. AutoWeek commented that the Swivel 'n Go table "is very sturdy and locks in to place nicely."
After selecting your seating arrangement, keep the final sticker price in line by choosing options carefully. TheCarConnection.com thinks you should also steer way from options that you'll rarely use, like the navigation system.

Middle Colonies: New Jersey
The colony was first settled by the Dutch in 1613. The New Jersey Colony was founded in 1664 by Lord Berkeley and Sir George Carteret. They founded the land because of its good farmland, timber, furs and coal. Iron ore was a particularly important natural resource to the colony. The climate had warm summers and mild winters.

— The week before Christmas was about family and friends. It was about frantic grocery runs for a can of cranberries, for last-minute impulse buys and for assembling a bike in the middle of the night before parking it under the tree. This week, though, is about football.
Twenty-one of the 35 bowl games are crammed on the calendar between Christmas and the end of New Year's Day in an eight-day period that is conveniently sponsored by the credit card you just maxed out.
Are there too many bowls? Absolutely. Both of the people who witnessed a now 6-7 Georgia Tech team struggle to score one point for each of their losses in the Independence Bowl know that. (Bowl sponsor health-card company AdvoCare may want to offer a dose of wellness to the Jackets' offense.)
But between now and Jan. 1 there are some interesting matchups wedged on the schedule, somewhere between the Match.com You're Going to Die Alone Bowl and the Four Loko I Can't Feel My Face Classic. Here's what I'll be watching.
Dec. 29: Alamo Bowl
No. 16 Oklahoma State (10-2) vs. Arizona (7-5)
According to the bowl website, sponsor Valero provides jet fuel to commercial airlines, military aircraft and to Oklahoma State's offense. OK, maybe that last part is implied, but there has to be some kind of turbine power involved in the Cowboys' passing attack.
OSU's offense is ranked No. 4 overall, putting up 354.7 passing yards per game (2nd in the nation) and scoring a ridiculous 44.9 points (3rd). Even in their two losses, they managed to stack 41 points on the board each time. It helps that when quarterback Brandon Weeden can't pass to first-team All-American receiver Justin Blackmon, he can hand it off to first-team All American running back Kendall Hunter. Potato, potahto, potouchdown.
It's going to be unwatchable, right? Like somewhere between a corporate training video and "Little Fockers"? Not necessarily. Arizona has faced three top-20 offenses this season (Oregon, Stanford and — believe it or not — USC) so they aren't intimidated. They are, however, coming off a four-game losing streak to, um, Oregon, Stanford, Arizona State and — believe it or not — USC.
But if Wildcats QB Nick Foles is on, this could be a ballgame. Foles is patient, doesn't force throws, and his 291 yard average ranks No. 7 in the country. Also in Foles' favor? The Cowboys' defense is terrible against the pass. In their two losses, they allowed nine passing touchdowns and 791 yards through the air.
Advantage: Oklahoma State
Disadvantage: Thanks to the 9:15 p.m. ET kickoff, anyone on the east coast whose eyes need to open on Thursday morning
Dec. 30: Pinstripe Bowl
Kansas State (7-5) vs. Syracuse (7-5)
OK, this day's game schedule is the lamest of the week. If you need to eat at the kitchen table, rather than with a plate of leftovers balanced on one knee, this is the night to do it. Of the eight teams playing on Thursday, only one has a record better than 7-5. That team—Nebraska (10-3) — is rewarded by playing a 6-6 Washington team in the Holiday Bowl, which, sponsored by Bridgepoint Education, manages to sound nondescript, nondenominational and nonessential. It doesn't help that the 'Huskers already blew out the Huskies once this season, a 56-21 beating that wouldn't have been sadder unless Sarah McLachlin was singing on the sidelines.
Tennessee and North Carolina face each other in the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl, which you should only watch if you really like nouns and the Bell Helicopter Bowl — featuring Army (6-6) and SMU (7-6) — would only grab my eyeballs if it were played in a helicopter.
That leaves the inaugural Pinstripe Bowl, held at Yankee Stadium. Neither Kansas State nor Syracuse was ranked at any point during the season and neither is listed above No. 20 in any statistical category. The Wildcats did manage to hold Oklahoma State to 24 points — the Cowboys' lowest total of the year — during a 24-14 loss. Syracuse beat then No. 20 West Virginia, and also squeaked past South Florida.
Kansas State senior RB Daniel Thomas has rushed for 1,425 yards and 16 touchdowns this season, which is largely why the Wildcats have averaged 33.6 points per game. He finished the season with a 269-yard outing against North Texas.
The season's final weeks weren't as kind to Syracuse. In back-to-back losses, QB Ryan Nassib had two interceptions, zero touchdowns, and negative 20 yards rushing.
Advantage: Kansas State. Or that closet you needed to clean. Or that 30 Rock repeat you missed the first time.
Dec. 31: Chick-fil-A Bowl
No. 19 South Carolina (9-4) vs. No. 23 Florida State (9-4)
This one is the Battle of the Bridesmaids and, as the last game of 2010, it promises to be a good one. Both teams finished their seasons as the runner-up in their conference championship; South Carolina got a Newton-powered pummelling by Auburn while FSU lost to eventual Orange Bowlers Virginia Tech.
South Carolina ran away with the SEC East, managed to put the first L on then No. 1 Alabama's record and, other than a midseason misstep against Kentucky, was remarkably consistent. All four of Florida State's losses came against bowl-bound opponents.
The Gamecocks' offense relies on the arm of Stephen Garcia and the legs of running back Marcus Lattimore. The freshman running back collected 1,198 yards of offense and 17 rushing touchdowns, which were the best ground totals in the SEC, save for some guy named Cam Newton. Seminoles' QB Christian Ponder watched the ACC title game from the sidelines and the majority of FSU's hopes are attached to his still-healing right elbow.
If you would like to begin your end-of-year festivities early, I suggest taking a drink every time the announcers mention South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier's connection to 1. Florida; 2. Florida State; 3. visors.
Advantage: Even with a fully recovered Ponder, this one goes to Lattimore and the Gamecocks.
You're on your own for New Year's Day, but as the game logos get more familiar and the participating teams' rankings get smaller, you can't go wrong. Not unless you're still looking for that can of cranberries.

OSLO, July 29 (Reuters) - Norway's Statoil aims to start output from Brazil's Carcará field by the mid-2020s, its exploration chief said on Friday, after the oil major announced an acquisition of Petrobras' stake in the licence where the discovery lies.
"When it comes to the final investment decision 2020 plus is what we are talking about, so production will come from mid-2020s," Statoil's exploration chief Tim Dodson told Reuters.
"That's good for us... because that means that there is limited unity capital outlay up until 2020," he added.
When closed, the transaction will increase Statoil's net debt ratio by around 1.5 percentage point, Dodson said. (Reporting by Stine Jacobsen, editing by Alister Doyle)

In May this year, Frijsfo Beats introduced Buzzin10 with his debut EP Basement Mood. His microsampling of UK Garage cassette tapes caught the imagination, with The Wire magazine, Sonic Router, Boomkat and others all commenting enthusiastically. So did his way with a melody, leading to justified comparisons with Aphex Twin, Zomby and Drexciya. His very individual style found support from noteworthy DJs Sully, Dusk and Blackdown, Warlock, Robn, Kingthing, and Cardopusher to name a few.
Oli Marlow, of Sonic Router writes: "His touches aren't subtle…Buzzin10's quite heavy handed with his effecting but that works as a roughness and gives a scuff his tracks that purposefully bucks against the trend for pristine mixdown sheen. His music is quite raw and enviably open and even after the small amount of back and forth we've had setting this article up it's obvious that all he really cares about is making music"
These three digital-only tracks continue his explorations into haunted Garage, to use his titular phrase. All are dancefloor dynamite, with 2-step breakbeats, cyber-funk basslines and spinbacks lighting the touchpaper. But as we've come to expect from Buzzin10, prepare to dive into an uncanny world of subaquatic tones, dizzying arpeggios and bittersweet memories.
*Sonic Router interview and free Buzzin10 mix is HERE and his 'Basement Mood EP' vinyl is available here.
Buzzin' to the power of 10.

Everyone's Perfect
Evaluating Risk
How do we arrive at an estimation of what a ballplayer is worth? It's easy to say that we gather all the historical evidence, project our best estimate of what's to come, and then sort. But obviously, it's more complicated than that.
Time for a blind taste test. Here are two pitchers and PECOTA's 2012 projection for each:
Pitcher A: 13 wins, 161 strikeouts, 3.69 ERA, 1.25 WHIP
Pitcher B: 10 wins, 168 strikeouts, 3.45 ERA, 1.25 WHIP
These two are pretty close in projections, and yet, they could hardly be further apart in perceived worth. In fantasy leagues, Pitcher A is a top 20 pitcher heading into this season with an average draft position in the early seventh round. In "real life," he'd easily command at least $10-15 million per year on the open market and, as a trade commodity, would return a bevy of young prospects. Meanwhile, Pitcher B is barely perceived as a top 75 pitcher in fantasy leagues, goes undrafted in many of them, and in real life, can't get anything more than a one-year, $4.5 million contract in a pitcher-starved market.
In case you haven't guessed yet, Pitcher A is Mat Latos; Pitcher B is Erik Bedard.
Does the valuation make more sense now that you know the identities? Latos is 24 years old and seemingly has a bright future ahead of him. Bedard will be 33 years old next month and, as everyone knows, is as big an injury risk as they come.
Ah, there's the word: "risk." As much as projections play a part in the determination of a player's value, there are qualitative aspects that help us determine what a player is worth. And high up there in the evaluation process are our fairly abstract notions of risk.
Then again, not all risks are alike. There's the risk that comes from injuries, yes. There's also the risk of managerial decisions, influencing playing time opportunities and lineup potential. There's the risk of slumps and mental weakness. There's also the risk of things like alcoholism relapses and steroids suspensions.
Are we good at properly evaluating which risks pose greater dangers than other risks?
Perhaps not. Surveys have long shown that humans are often a poor judge of this sort of thing, thinking, for example, that tornadoes are a more likely way to die than asthma, even though the latter causes 20 times as many deaths. Look at our public policy priorities: we spend billions of dollars to guard against aviation terrorism even though it's more probable that an individual will die in a car crash on the way to the airport and that we might be able to save more lives by investing in safer highways.
Our emotions often interfere with our judgment, and what influences that? Many psychologists point to recent memories as a leading reason for letting emotions interfere with our assessment of risk. If you think about it, this may well make us prone to overestimate the risks of a perpetually-injured player like Erik Bedard given the amount of frustration that often goes hand-in-hand with that owning such a player.
What else can we say on the topic of risk?
For starters, although we tend to think of risk in binary terms—either a player is risky or he is not—risk can come in varying degrees. Even a single player can present different forms of risk to different teams in different leagues.
Take Nelson Cruz. He's a player who has a long track record of getting nicked up and missing games here and there, and we should expect nothing different in 2012. And yet, in those leagues where teams are allowed to adjust their lineups daily and even pick up free agents at will, Cruz probably presents less risk than in leagues where teams are allowed to make roster moves only once per week.
Indeed, when examining risk, there are many external factors that will sharply impact a player's risk quotient. Among them: roster flexibility, the number of roster spots per team, the quality and quantity of free agent replacement options, the allowance of DL spots, and various other rules and league structures.
We might say that it was foolish and too risky for the Philadelphia Phillies to give Ryan Howard a $125 million, five-year extension that takes him up to his age-37 season, but it would not be nearly as risky for a fantasy team to make a short-term investment in Howard's immediate upside given the deep talent at first base. At what he'll cost, if something goes wrong with Howard, fantasy owners can cut bait and pick up a decent first base replacement. The Phillies wouldn't have that luxury and will be paying a huge contract no matter what. In other words, risk is all relative.
Further, we should not forget about the various risk management options we have at our disposal. In real life, we drive cars even though we know the risks of a car accident. That's why we wear seat belts and purchase auto insurance. Likewise, it's indeed possible to adjust one's self to the risky players out there. Planning to make future use of the waiver wire, should something go wrong, is one obvious route that needs to be considered when drafting. There are other possible techniques too, such as investing in players who can play multiple positions and fill in for a gimpy star on occasion. Yes, even fantasy baseball has insurance plans.
Lastly, risk goes hand-in-hand with price. The bigger the investment, the more production you're going to expect because of the other, high-value options you'll be turning down. Ideally, this means that when we're drafting, we're looking for high-upside/low-risk players first and foremost. In reality, though, there will always be some risk involved when making a big investment. The question might be how we both judge those risks and compensate for the things that will inevitably go wrong.
Let's turn our attention back to Mat Latos and Erik Bedard.
To this point, the fantasy community has collectively judged Latos to be the less risky proposition… but is that really true?
Consider an alternative framing of the issue: Latos is a player with just two good years under his belt. Bedard has had five quality years. Latos has experienced success with just one ballclub in his life. Bedard has pitched well for three different ballclubs already. Latos is moving from perhaps the best pitchers' park in the majors to one that is friendly for hitters. Bedard is moving from a league that favors hitters to a league, division, and home ballpark that's receptive to pitchers.
Lastly, as far as injuries goes, there's no question that Bedard has annoyed his owners in recent years with an inability to pitch a full season. On the other hand, Latos is no stranger to injuries these past couple of seasons, and the workload for this young arm has increased over the past two seasons. He'll now be pitching for Dusty Baker, a manager who is notorious for overworking young pitchers.
The point is not to make the case that Bedard is primed for a better season than Latos, merely that our construction of the risk issue is often funny and fickle. Both players have similar projections. One is going in the seventh round, the other near the end of a draft. I'll leave it to you to decide who really represents a greater risk right now.

In the case of Bedard, you also have the risk of not playing due to lineup competition. Latos has a stronger recent pedigree and the Reds traded the farm club to get him. Bedard was a flier on the free agent market.

This gets close to what I used to do for a living, and I will say that risk is not that abstract. Computational models for determining risk based on event-tree analysis exist, and while they can be time-consuming to set up, they're conceptually simple and do a reasonable job -- if the input data are good. The problem is, they're an extreme Garbage In, Garbage Out kind of thing. Miss the probabilities of the risk-inducing thing happening (injury, loss of effectiveness, getting in a manager's doghouse, etc.) and the resulting assessment is completely bogus. I take the liberty of claiming we know a lot more about quantifying risk than we do about the chances of Dusty Baker or Ozzie Guillen getting down on a guy.
Feb 21, 2012 06:22 AM
I'm sure the risk assessment community has a good handle on how to handle risk. However, I don't think that's the point of the article. The point is that human beings (not using event-tree analysis) tend to under or over-calculate risk.

Hi Bill,
Feb 21, 2012 08:36 AM
PECOTA quantifies risk. The PECOTA spreadsheet includes 4 probabilities: Breakout, Improve, Collapse, and Attrition. Beadrd's probabilities are 17, 55, 16, and 17, respectively. Latos's probs are 30, 62, 6, and 6, respectively. In other words, Latos is more likely to improve and more likely to significantly improve over his projection and less likely to bomb than Bedard. That's why he is valued more.

It's fun to point out how ('other') people aren't as bright ('as I am').
Feb 21, 2012 08:45 AM
Player performance risk. There are too many inputs. Despite all the efforts to anticipate injury risk, including Will Carroll here, I have yet to be convinced that anybody can provide meaningful numbers.
Feb 21, 2012 12:43 PM
My only quibble here is that you call projections "subjective", and I don't think that's correct. Subjective implies (at least to me) that it's more of an opinion, and might have wildly different ways of projecting different players, whereas my understanding of the main projection systems is that they are "objective" in the sense that they have a set of algorithms and all players will be projected using the same set of rules. I think your point, however, is that they are not guarantees, and that any particular projection might turn out to be very wrong, which is of course true.
Feb 23, 2012 00:45 AM
didn't PECOTA at one time have a "beta" column to indicate the variability of a player's upcoming season projection based on his historical performance variability?

German Federal Cartel Agency Fines Microsoft
Microsoft Deutschland GmbH has been fined $9 million by the German Bundeskartellamt (cartel or anti-trust agency) for anticompetitive MS Office
pricing. Microsoft allegedly fixed a price at a retailer for its Office Home & Student 2007 product.
According to the federal agency, the Office Home & Student 2007 software was "heavily advertised in the autumn of 2008 in stationary retail outlets," among other things through a nationwide retailer by providing financial support. "Even before the launch of the advertising campaign in mid-October 2008, employees of Microsoft and the retailer in question had agreed on at least two occasions on the resale price of the software package."
Microsoft was accused of "actively trying to coordinate the pricing activities of the retailer" to determine its future actions. Microsoft accepted the fine, according to the agency announcement.

We spend most of our day sitting at work and that often leaves us too exhausted to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Here are five tips we at Primary believe can up your game in bringing healthy life practices to your workplace!
- Look away from your screens –Staring at a computer or phone screen for hours on end can lead to dry eyes and headaches. Every few hours you should take a break from your screens and look around. You can use this time to close your eyes and do some calming deep breathing. Here are three deep breathing exercises that you can do at work.
- Make use of the office kitchen –Bring lunch and snacks from home and keep it in the fridge. Food intake plays a crucial role in helping you remain energized and healthy. Minimizing the amount of processed, store bought food you consume can positively affect your life. Having light healthy snacks throughout your day instead of one heavy meal, will curb your cravings, maintain your energy and mood. [Speaking of healthy snacks - select blends will be available to purchase while you work!]
- Get up –Continuously sitting at a chair leads to stiffness so you should get up and stretch whenever you feel the stiffness setting in. If possible, go outside to get some sunlight and fresh air that will rejuvenate your mind and body. Here are 12 types of stretches that you can do at your desk.
- Stay hydrated –Make sure to drink water often, even if you don't feel thirsty. Dehydration can lead to fatigue. Bring a large water bottle to work and keep it in your line of sight while you work to remind yourself to drink water.
- Try to be self-aware –Most importantly, pay attention to your body. Heedlessly striving towards your goals and ignoring the signs of stress and fatigue is detrimental to your health. While taking a break might seem like a waste of time, the pause is reenergizing and will help you get back to your work with a fresh perspective and mindset.
To maximize the effect of these tips, it is important that you work them into your daily schedule. As you add them in see if you can notice an overall improvement in your productivity and happiness with your work life balance.
You can come visit our wellness focused office space in Manhattan's Financial District to see other ways we've integrated healthy practices into our workspace.
