"Resident Award Program"
City of Lafayette Residents
Start receiving your resident award points today! Show us your Driver's License to confirm your Lafayette address. When you check-in for golf let us know you are a Resident and receive Awards Dollars for your green fee.
Earn 10% in Awards Dollars with every full price green fee you purchase for yourself or a member of your immediate family in your residence. When you've earned enough to pay for your next full price green fee you can use your Awards Dollars for a FREE round. Awards Dollars never expire and your balance will print at the bottom of your receipt. While the Awards Program is not valid for special offers, leagues, or tournaments, you can earn Awards Dollars when playing in the IPGC Men's and Ladies' Leagues.
Example: Earn $4.40 in Awards Dollars when purchasing a green fee for $44.00. After you've played 10 rounds at $44.00 you will have $44.00 in your Awards bank. You can then use your Awards Dollars to purchase your next $44.00 green fee.
If you choose to play 9-holes you can apply your Awards Dollars at any time the balance is sufficient to pay for the full price of the green fee. What's more, if you are a Preferred Player Cardholder you may apply savings to your round in addition to earning Awards Dollars. In this example, Lafayette Residents would earn TWO FREE Rounds for every ten purchased.


text: I was wondering if we get to the Wonder (3 night) by 12pm we will be able to get Palo and Castway Cay cabana massage reservations? I guess they go quickly on the 3 night! We will be coming from the Polynesian Thursday morning and I was hoping we could eat breakfast in the concierge lounge then head over to the MK for a few hours and then leave for the Wonder around 11am. What do you all think? Should we leave at 10am to be safer? I don't want to be waiting around to board either. We have the UPH's so we may as well get a few hours at MK. We are doing the 7 for 4 deal so we only paid for 4 nights/5 days of UPH's- can't take a day off Oh- we are going in October.

James Wright to Receive Little League Urban Initiative Volunteer of the Year Award
James Wright to Receive Little League Urban Initiative Volunteer of the Year Award
On and off the baseball field, James Wright has dedicated much of his life to furthering the appreciation and influence of Little League in his Tampa, Fla., neighborhood, and Little League International will recognize his commitment with the presentation of the Howard and Gail Paster Little League Urban Initiative Volunteer of the Year Award at the 62nd Little League Baseball World Series in Williamsport, Pa.
Little League International created the Little League Urban Initiative Volunteer of the Year Award in recognition of the vital volunteer service being performed by thousands of dedicated people in urban settings around the country. This award annually acknowledges an adult volunteer involved with a Little League program participating in the Urban Initiative. The recipient has provided a positive Little League experience for the children and adults within a local league's metropolitan neighborhood or community.
"James Wright understands the role that Little League can play in building lasting bonds between the adults and children in a urban neighborhood," Stephen D. Keener, President and Chief Executive Officer of Little League Baseball and Softball, said. "His selfless commitment on behalf of the children and volunteers in Yellow Jackets Little League, and throughout the Tampa area, can not be understated or overlooked. Such commitment for so many years has allowed neighboring communities to reap the benefits of his vision and leadership. For these reasons, Little League is honored to present Mr. Wright with this award."
Mr. Paster, the president of the Little League Foundation Board of Trustees, is executive vice president of public relations and public affairs, at WPP Group, and was chairman of "A World of Opportunity - Little League Baseball Capital Campaign for the Future." Mrs. Paster is director of the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C.
The Little League Urban Initiative has seen success in nearly 100 U.S. cities since it began in 2000. In the past year, Castle Hill Little League in Bronx, N.Y.; Rosemoor Little League in Chicago; and Peninsula Little League in Portland Ore, were among several leagues that received funding and assistance through the Little League Urban Initiative.
"Mr. Wright has been president of Yellow Jackets Little League for many years, and has more knowledge of baseball than most managers will have in a lifetime," Danny Rodriguez, president of Northwest Little League in Tampa, said. "This man is a Little League Baseball icon in the Tampa area."
"His heart, sweat and dedication belong to Yellow Jackets Little League," he said. "Mr. Wright is a man who has earned the respect of his peers within District 6, and the Little League Urban Initiative, but most importantly, he has the respect of the players, parents, and community surrounding the Yellow Jackets complex."
Yellow Jackets Little League participated in the third annual Little League Urban Initiative Jamboree held in Williamsport, June 2-4, 2006. Mr. Wright traveled with the team to that event.
Through the 2008 Little League season, the Little League Urban Initiative has stimulated the participation of 2,779 teams, which equates to approximately 43,000 players, and has participated in 21 field renovation/development projects.

Why See Wiz Khalifa?
Discovered when he was just 16-years old, US rapper and hip hop star Wiz Khalifa is a rags-to-riches tale and he isn't afraid to show it. The controversial musician sings about issues, from his love for his ex-wife to his love of green, well, have a listen to his album and you'll be able to work that out.
Citing Jimi Hendrix, Camp Lo, The Notorious B.I.G. and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony as musical influences, Khalifa has carved out a large niche for himself in this new generation of promising young rap artists alongside Tyga, L'il Wayne and 2Chains.
In 2012 Khalifa released his second full studio album Only Nigga In First Class (abbreviated as O.N.I.F.C. for release to mainstream markets), which debuted at number two with 131,000 in first week sales. From that album his single "Work Hard, Play Hard" went platinum.

By Ruth Ferguson, NDG Editor
I had such high hopes for CBS' Hostages as a big fan of Dylan McDermott and Toni Collette – and yes I even like Jerry Bruckheimer. But this show was a disappointment from the first episode. It also had the misfortune of being opposite NBC's very well promoted The Blacklist – and add to the mix that Blacklist is better and you see the writing on the wall for Hostages.
I would love to know how they planned to take the show beyond the 15 weeks anyway. I think that is part of the reason why I stay with it. But at this point, I just want to get to the end and see how they wrap up the storylines.
Honestly I was surprised at how boring the show was. It is as if the actors could not bring themselves to believe the crazy premise a family is being held hostage by a FBI Agent (McDermott) for two weeks until the doctor (Collette) can kill the president during a surgical procedure. I mean really putting a GPS tracker inside the back of your children? And then they surgically remove it themselves – only to be captured again. Oh that is an interesting storyline, but you really have to sell it and they don't.
I can never stay focused for a full episode, literally having to rewind. Then I realize – why am I even trying – they don't seem to be putting that much effort into it.
The second surprise is how CBS allowed NBC to run circles around them with marketing their dueling shows. Initially, I thought Blacklist was likely overhyped. It was everywhere, and every once in a while you would hear about Hostages. Then I saw Blacklist and wanted to see the entire season NOW on Netflix. A bit surprising, because frankly James Spader is a bit annoying to me. But his air of superiority fits the role perfectly. The Blacklist's premise is even less believable than Hostages, but the performances sell it.
Perhaps as the number one broadcast network and with a popular and handsome leading man like McDermott, was a bit cocky. Add in the names of Bruckheimer and Collette, who is known for great performances, and I can see why the network never saw how badly the show would be trampled. But even after a rocky start, past the first week, it does not seem the network seem to consider the show DOA.
Read TheWrap's prediction of five more shows that can expect to receive the pink slip. Is one of your favorite new shows on the list? Have you seen Hostages?

Police probe suspicious nursing home death
Police say it could take some time to investigate the suspicious death of a Canberra nursing home resident.
A post-mortem examination will be carried out this week on the body of the 94-year-old man found dead at the Upper Jindalee Nursing Home at Narrabundah yesterday morning.
Police have not released details of the man's injuries or his name. He had only arrived at the facility the night before.
Police are investigating whether a domestic incident at the nursing home around the same time was linked to the death.
No charges have been laid.
AFP Forensics and detectives from Criminal Investigations are interviewing staff and residents.
A police spokeswoman says because they are dealing with elderly patients, some with long term medical conditions, the investigation may take some time.
Superintendent Brett Kidner says counselling is also being offered.
"They'll be dealing with the family and the residents as well, just to provide any additional care that they may need," he said.
"The nursing home will also be looking to the welfare of the other residents."

The North Carolina Scottish Heritage Society was established in 1992 as a non-profit incorporated organization to promote study, research and publication concerning the ancestry and heritage of North Carolina's Scottish Settlers. Even earlier, in 1986, Lt. Col. Victor E. Clark, Jr. started publishing a newsletter/journal, The Argyll Colony Plus, in order to further interest in the history of the region of North Carolina first settled by emigrant Scottish Gaels.
Following his distinguished military career, Col. Clark had become interested in tracing his ancestors. In this quest, which became a passion, he began to write his family's history. As his interest in genealogical research grew, his circle of friends and acquaintances in Scotland, North Carolina and Alabama grew to include many wonderful historians who were later to write articles for the journal. Vic Clark passed away in October of 2001. We are continuing to publish the Argyll Colony Plus and to disseminate information to anyone interested in the highland Scottish settlers of North Carolina and other parts of North America.
The Society publishes its journal, The Argyll Colony Plus, three times per year. It has been published since 1986. The Argyll Colony Plus has many articles of interest to people researching genealogy and history related to the early settlement of highland Scots in eastern North Carolina, from its original "Argyll Colony" of 1739 to include later emigrations from various other areas of the highlands and islands of Scotland. It has won several awards and is a valuable resource.
The Society publishes or offers for sale other books as well, such as Highland Scots in North Carolina by Gov. Angus Wilton McLean (see our Publications for Sale section). In addition, the Society cooperates with The Scottish Heritage Center, part of St. Andrews Presbyterian College in Laurinburg, NC, to hold the Scottish Heritage Symposium in March of each year at the college.
Membership dues are $30 yearly. Click on the "Join Us" link, print the membership application form and mail it with your check to the Treasurer, NCSHS, 1690 Plainfield Church Rd, Siler City, NC 27344. You must be a member to receive issues of The Argyll Colony Plus.
Yes, all back issues are available at a cost of $15 each. Contact the Treasurer, NCSHS, 1690 Plainfield Church Rd, Siler City, NC 27344. A list of contents of each issue is shown by clicking the Publications for Sale link.
Contact the Treasurer, NCSHS, 1690 Plainfield Church Rd, Siler City, NC 27344 for back issues and for information concerning other publications offered by the Society. Also click on the Publications for Sale link for further information.
A list of the back issues of the AC+ with contents of each issue is on the website under the Publications for Sale link.
Articles with a focus on the subject of Scottish genealogy and history of highland emigration to North Carolina are welcomed and encouraged. We are also very interested in exploring the common roots of the emigrants to North Carolina and Canada. Contact the Editor, or any of the members of the Board or Publications Committee.

Tonight, HBO airs the Sundance special jury prize-winning documentary Gasland, which looks at the impact of natural gas drilling, which can pretty much be summed up in the image of a man lighting his tap water on fire.
Director Josh Fox examined the impact and effects of hydraulic fracturing–fracking–after being offered $100,000 to let his property be drilled, and HBO describes the film as "a 24-state investigation of the environmental effects of hydraulic fracturing" including "chronically ill residents with similar symptoms in drilling areas across the country; and huge pools of toxic waste that kill livestock and vegetation."
The process of drilling, which involves using a combination of 596 chemicals and water into rock deep underground, was exempted from having to conform to the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act thanks to Congress and the Bush and Cheney administration's 2005 Energy Policy Act. Now, HBO says, director "Fox estimates that 40 trillion gallons of chemically infused water have been created by the drilling, much of it left seeping into the ground across the country."
Update: A few minutes after a link to this post appeared on Twitter, the natural gas industry responded to it with a Twitter post that said "That's actually biogenic (naturally occurring) methane you're seeing" in the tap water, and linked to a Debunking Gasland. Judge for yourself what that means.
Watch the trailer, and the full film tonight at 9 p.m. ET:

MIAMI-DADE, Fla. - Police are trying to determine if a man who exposed himself in a southwest Miami-Dade County neighborhood is the same man wanted for sexual assault in Coral Gables.
The latest incident happened behind the Gables Court apartments just south of Bird Road and Southwest 67 Avenue. Police say the man was spotted inappropriately exposing and touching himself around 7:30 a.m. Thursday.
Police say the man was wearing a dark brown shirt with long sleeves and a ski mask. The description is similar to the description of a man wanted for sexual assault in Coral Gables.
Police say there were several instances in the area that they are calling suspicious, and believe the same man could be responsible. One of the instances was of a man exposing himself, and inappropriately touching a young girl at a Dollar Tree store.
Miami-Dade officers say most of the offenses are happening in the morning around 7 or 8 a.m.

Bethpage FCU Spills Data Onto Website
The 203,000-member, $4.7 billion Bethpage Federal Credit Union, headquartered in Bethpage, N.Y., notified members and the NCUA of the accidental exposure of personal member data last week.
In a June 13 press release and statement to its members, Bethpage said that data from up to 86,000 members had been placed on an insecure website accidentally while the credit union was moving the members from Visa debit cards to MasterCard debit cards.
"The risk for fraud or identity theft is low, according to a data security firm engaged by Bethpage," the credit union said in its statement. "Certain key data such as Social Security numbers, PINS and CVV security codes were not in these files. Bethpage's core data system was not breached and was not involved."
However, a statement on the credit union's website notified members that the exposed data included their names, mailing addresses and dates of birth, along with the numbers and expiration dates of their current Visa debit cards and the full account numbers of their primary savings accounts and the checking accounts linked to the exposed debit cards.
The credit union pointed out that the Visa debit cards compromised were already slated to be shut down as part of the migration to new cards, but Bethpage did not address the appearance that the exposed data, combined with the Bethpage's routing number, would appear to be enough to generate ACH withdrawals from members' accounts.
Interviewed later about the spill, Bethpage CEO Kirk Kordeleski said that the credit union had been responsible for the breach. He explained a staff member uploaded a file containing the information onto a website. "She believed the website was secure. It had a password," Kordeleski said. "But it was not."
Kordeleski added that the staff member was no longer with the credit union and media outlets have reported she resigned.
The credit union had been sending the data to the firm it uses to generate member mailings, Kordeleski said, in conjunction with a conversion of its debit card portfolio from Visa to MasterCard cards.
Kordeleski said the data had been on the unsecured site for 30 days.
He also countered the concerns about ACH fraud and called the possibility they might occur remote. While the exposed data would be enough to generate an ACH withdrawal, such withdrawals require the person withdrawing the funds to have a deposit account, he explained. Under the terms of the know your customer or know your member rules, it is considered very difficult to generate a fraudulent ACH withdrawal without being caught.
Bethpage also announced that it was offering members whose data has been exposed one year free access to credit monitoring through Experian, one of the three nationwide credit bureaus.

Arroyo needs Tommy John surgery
PHOENIX — After lasting 14 years in the majors without going on the disabled list and garnering a reputation as perhaps baseball's most durable pitcher, Diamondbacks starter Bronson Arroyo now faces his worst nightmare.
Arroyo revealed Monday he will have season-ending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow after pitching for a month with a completely torn ulnar collateral ligament.
Arroyo, 37, broke the news to reporters, explaining that a June 16 MRI had revealed the tear, but he initially decided to try pitching without the ligament after resting his arm for a while. It eventually became clear that plan wasn't going to work, as Arroyo's elbow responded poorly after a recent throwing session.
"I was going to see if I could ride it without the ligament," Arroyo said. "If this was the last year of my career, I could gut through it with anti-inflammatories and different things and it would be tough. But if I want to play after this year, it's going to be impossible.
"I don't want to be 40 years old and possibly be a free agent and not have a ligament. I don't think anyone's going to want to sign me then."
Arroyo, 7-4 with a 4.08 ERA this season, said he actually made his last six starts with the UCL completely torn off the bone. Oddly enough, Arroyo pitched as well as he had all season, going 3-1 with a 3.45 ERA in the last five of those starts. Arroyo believes the tear occurred in his complete game against the Nationals on May 13.
"When I woke up the next morning it was very stiff," Arroyo said. "But I've had that plenty of times in my career, so I didn't think anything alarming of it. And then every start it was just getting harder and harder to turn it back around."
Arroyo mentioned an issue with his elbow after a June 10 start, prior to which he had skipped a bullpen session due to the elbow pain. D-backs manager Kirk Gibson, general manager Kevin Towers and head athletic trainer Ken Crenshaw approached Arroyo before his next start about shutting down, but Arroyo insisted he could keep pitching.
Though Arroyo won his next start in Los Angeles, allowing just one run in five innings, the elbow swelled so much during and after the start Arroyo decided to get an MRI the next day and landed on the disabled list for the first time in his career.
I thought maybe I'd retire at 39 or 40, but who knows — I might pitch much further if I do come back healthy, because it's a lot of extra work I'm having to do to try to come back now.
Bronson Arroyo
After consulting with head team physician Dr. Michael Lee, Arroyo opted not to go the Tommy John route immediately, instead giving his elbow time to calm down. Other pitchers — mostly relievers — have done it, and Arroyo felt it was worth a shot.
When it became clear it wasn't going to work, Arroyo made a pretty quick decision to toss out his July 15 cutoff date and have the surgery, though a date and surgeon have not yet been decided.
Arroyo, who signed with the D-backs early in spring training for two years and $19 million, said he has given no thought to retiring in light of the injury. In fact, his desire to continue playing prompted his decision to reverse course and have the surgery. That way, Arroyo explained, he can spend a year recovering and return next season in time to show the D-backs he can still pitch as they face the decision on his third-year option, which is worth $11 million. The option includes a $4.5 million buyout.
"I don't want to put this organization in a position where I only pitch maybe two starts in September of next year and then they're not really sure if they want to pick up that option, because it's a pretty hefty option," Arroyo said. "I want to give them the opportunity to at least see me throw for a few months and know that what they have here is what they had before."
Arroyo becomes the third D-backs pitcher this season to need the major elbow surgery; starter Patrick Corbin and setup man David Hernandez had it just before the start of the season. Reliever Matt Reynolds and starter Daniel Hudson are also on the D-backs' 60-day disabled list rehabbing from the surgery.
Tommy John surgery typically requires 10-12 months of rehab, with a year being the standard. Arroyo has never been a hard thrower, which the D-backs hope could make returning easier.
"Because of the way he throws, I think maybe the hope is that he won't need as long to rehab, that he can recover quickly," Gibson said. "In general in his career he's been really healthy."
Arroyo was in good spirits Monday, as he has had time to digest the news, but he admitted to being frustrated after such a long history of health. Still, he says he will make the best of his year away, resting and trying to come back stronger.
Since 2005, Arroyo has made at least 32 starts each season and fallen short of the 200 innings mark only once, throwing 199 innings in 2011. This development, Arroyo says, has pushed back his timetable for retirement.

Breaking News: Pinterest Acquires Recipe Sharing Site Punchfork
Pinterest has just made its first acquisition, purchasing 2-year-old recipe sharing site Punchfork. The news was announced by Punchfork's founder and CEO, Jeff Miller, in an email to web site users.
Here's what he had to say:
Dear Punchfork Community,
Today we are excited to share the news that Pinterest has acquired Punchfork!
Since launching in January 2011, our mission at Punchfork has been to help home cooks discover new, high quality recipes and share them with family and friends. It is a mission driven by a belief in the ability of web and mobile platforms to inspire our lives offline--at home, in our communities, and for Punchfork, wherever meals are shared.
To cooking aficionados, Pinterest needs no introduction. It stands as one of the fastest-growing online services in history with millions of users, and millions of people use it to find recipes every day. Pinterest is often described as a platform for inspiration, and we feel this aligns perfectly with the goals of Punchfork. We couldn't be more thrilled to join forces with the Pinterest team in San Francisco.
Initially, support for Punchfork will continue, but we will soon be retiring the Punchfork site, API and mobile apps. We believe that a unified destination benefits our users in the long run, and the Punchfork team will focus on contributing to Pinterest as the premier platform for discovering and sharing new recipes and other interests on the web.
Our sincerest thanks to our community members, friends, and everyone involved with Punchfork since its launch.
See you on Pinterest!<

The costs and benefits of intensive forest management
This paper presents an approach for studying the socio-economic benefits and costs (CBA) of the introduction of intensified management measures in forestry. Besides from valuation of changes in timber production, assessments of different types of externalities are included in them assessment. The model is exemplified with the use of data from a Swedish governmental study undertaken in 2009 which present impacts on the Swedish forest sector if intensified management measures are applied on environmentally low-valued land and abandoned agricultural lands. The CBA shows that intensified management measures typically are private financially profitable. If these measures also become profitable from the society's point of view depend on the size of the external effects including carbon balance.

The Power of Shopping
With the holidays upon us, I figured that now would be a good time to do a post on shopping and its importance for contract theory. As everyone who survived a first year contracts course can tell you, one of the central problems for contract law is what has been variously labeled as boilerplate, contracts of adhesion, and fine print. What we are talking about here are all of those contracts that one is offered on a take-it or leave-it basis that no one ever reads. In true late-New-Deal-lets-find-a- new-frontier-for-saying-o h-my-heck- the-corporations- are- taking-over-the-world-FDR-come-and- save-us fashion Friedrich Kessler wrote an influential article ("Contracts of Adhesion — Some Thoughts About Freedom of Contract," 43 Colum. L. Rev. 629 (1942)) arguing that boiler plate represented a form of private law making that corporations imposed on helpless consumers. Such private law making, he argued, was illegitimate in a democratic society, where law making ought to be democratically accountable (or at the very least accountable to the FTC). Shopping, however, leaves me somewhat doubtful about Kessler's claim.
It seems to me that what motivates Kessler's concern is a particular view of what constitutes a legitimate contract. What he clearly has in mind is a deal where both parties dicker over all of the terms of the agreement. In other words, he sees bargaining as the sine qua non of legitimate contracts, and the absence of bargaining as being ipso facto suspect. Res ipsa loquitor. What Kessler does not appreciate, however, is that shopping can act as a substitute for bargaining.
I never dicker with my supermarket over the price of milk. Yet this hardly means that I am powerless before the supermarket and that it can impose whatever price and terms it wishes to on helpless me. The fact that there are four or five supermarkets more or less equidistant from my house keeps them in line. If Safeway gouges me for milk or acts like a jerk when I try to return a sour jug of egg nog, I will take my business down the road, and Safeway knows it. It keeps prices reasonable, and makes them reasonably polite and easy to work with.
On the whole, I find the holidays stressful and annoying. I am a practicing Mormon, and I find the uber-commercialization of Christmas religiously distasteful. I hate flying in December, and I still do it every year. One nice thing about the holiday shopping orgy, however, is that it makes me feel powerful. Everywhere I go, I see one huge corporation after another groveling — literally — for my business. They know that I have options, and this fact gives me courage when I go to the Target exchange desk. Compared with the power that I have as a shopper, I feel basically helpless in the face of the government. The "customer service" desk at the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles sucks compared to Target (and Target isn't all that good). They feel no anxiety about my ability to take my business elsewhere.
In short, Kessler — in my view — was mistaken (or at least partially mistaken) for seeing my take-it or leave-it contract with a corporation as evidence of powerlessness and the FTC as a reflection of my power. I do not feel that my ability to cast a vote in an election gives me any real influence over the government. On the other hand, when I opened the Washington Post on Sunday and saw the mountains of advertising, I felt a surge of control and power. Why? Because I am a shopper, and the Fortune 500 tremble before me!

As sales sputter, Europe rolls out new cars
Profits are falling for European carmakers and few consumers are buying, but despite the gloom, automakers began the rollout of new models at the Geneva Motor Show.
Associated PressThe Associated Press
GENEVA — It is still a tough time to be a European carmaker. Profits are falling as idle factories produce more costs than cars. And fewer consumers are buying new cars.
Yet despite the gloom, automakers began the rollout of new models at the Geneva Motor Show on Tuesday, from a pair of hybrid supercars to a sedan to a raft of smaller SUVs. All done in an attempt to lure buyers back — or at least capture their imaginations.
"Our industry is not an industry of rationality. It's also an industry of emotions. It's about brands, it's about attractive cars, it's about power, it's about handling, it's about opinions, it's about status," said Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn said.
At the show, Ferrari and McLaren both unveiled sleek hybrid supercars sculpted from carbon fiber.
"LaFerrari" is the name of the new special edition Ferrari.
Only 499 of the models will be built — and some 700 people, many of them Ferrari owners already, have registered interest, requiring a selection process for the future owners. The price tag: $639,000.
The McLaren P1 in a glittery racing yellow set off by hash-marked slate gray cuts a racetrack figure. The hybrid technology has performance advantages because the electric engine fills in the gap before the turbo engine kicks in, P1 program director Paul McKenzie said. It's a tiny effect, but everything counts in supercars.
The P1 can do 0-180 mph in under 17 seconds. It sells for $1.3 million, with just 375 in the series.
And Lamborghini's run of the new Veneno is sold out — it made only three.
The latest in its tradition of bespoke cars, the Veneno is the fastest, most powerful Lamborghini ever built. At the Geneva show, where it was revealed Monday night, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann made sure to rev the engine as he drove the car on stage.
Rest assured, the Veneno, named for an infamous fighting bull, sounds like a Lamborghini.
But why build a car for just three people?
"It gives you a high degree of freedom in terms of the design, you can test materials and new technologies, it has a halo effect on the other products," said Winkelmann. "Last but not least, you're fulfilling dreams, at least for a few people."
However, Europe's carmakers are finding it harder to recover from the collapse of the car market in 2008 than some rivals in the U.S. and Asia. Europeans are buying fewer new cars as their economies grow weakly, or not at all.
New-car registrations in Europe dropped 8.5 percent in January — more than exoected — and that is on top of a decline of 7.8 percent overall last year to 12.5 million units.
Even bedrock Germany, the engine of Europe, was suffering: Sales were down 9 percent in January and 10 percent in February, putting Europe's largest economy and home to some of the continent's most important mass market below the 3 million mark.
Auto executives are split over when the European car market will bounce back — or whether it will at all. Ford Europe's Stephen Odell and Renault's Ghosn put it at least three years out.
"Europe is going to be a very tough market for a while. It's not about only 2013. It's also about 2014, 2015, 2016," Ghosn said. "The only question is, is it going to be bad or very bad?"
But Fiat and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne expect a turnaround as soon as next year but "a lot of it depends on the political resolve of the Europeans to find a way out of the quagmire."
To add to Europe's concerns, a new Chinese player was on the Geneva floor. Qoros, a joint venture between Chinese automaker Chery and Idan Ofer of the Israel Corp., was showing a sedan it plans to begin selling in Europe next year.
"I worry about them all the time," Marchionne said. "They are not going away either. So welcome."

Follow the Goats 1: Departure
As we Follow the Goats this Advent, read Grampa Goat's travel blog as he and Billy explore how goats are helpful to people around the world.
Setting off for Mongolia, then to Burundi and Zambia, see why Grampa Goat is taking this trip, and why he's excited to tell you all about it!
He-eeeeeeeeeeeey, everyone! My name is William, but you can call me Grampa. That's what Billy calls me, my grandkid (sometimes I just call him Kid). We're goats, and we're from Seattle!
Tonight, Kid and I are leaving for a trip around the world! We'll be traveling first to Mongolia, then to Burundi and on to spend Christmas in Zambia, to see for ourselves how goats live in other parts of the world. We're excited to explore their cultures, and especially to see how our cousins help people by being an essential part of the communities where World Vision is working.
Billy is planning to take lots of photos (though he's only packed his phone), and will be emailing them to a photo album on the World Wide Web he calls the Instagram, so you can see what we're seeing on our trip there. I'm more comfortable with the written word; you'll find my travelogue here on World Vision's Blog as we go. We'll also be recording a series of videos so you can be right there with us as we experience the world. I hope you'll follow along!
Now, a little about me. I've lived all 17 years of my good, long life in and around Seattle. I've always loved how wide and green everything is, and how our skies are always lined with mountains. In my youth, I served as a pack-goat, helping to lead groups of hikers and adventurers into the mountains, carrying some of their burden (they only walk on two legs, you know).
Later in my career, I worked to help keep the roads and sidewalks of Seattle clear of weeds and garbage. A few times, I even had the opportunity to help clean up demolition sites and be part of rebuilding the city. Goats are noble creatures, you know; nothing makes us more proud than being helpful.
That's why I'm so excited about our trip! After my long and satisfying career, I've just celebrated my retirement. But I've only ever lived in the Pacific Northwest; I've always heard amazing stories about how goats in other far away places have their own unique ways of being helpful to the people that take care of them.
Of all of the stories we've heard over the years about global goats, one of the common themes I noticed among my favorites of them was World Vision. For many generations, goats have helped feed people. But I've heard that World Vision finds innovative ways to use goats (and other animals, too) to fully transform the lives of people in need—children, families, and even whole communities! Those goats must be so proud to share in the big dreams of these people!
That's what we're setting off to witness: how World Vision goats in Mongolia, Burundi, and Zambia (the countries where the goat stories seemed especially amazing!) help transform the lives of people just by being goats.
Of all the jobs I've had here in Seattle, they were helpful and I'm proud of my work. Some were eco-friendly, some were a bit adventurous. But none of them were lifesaving. When I think of my cousin goats overseas, one of the things I've been wondering is what is it like to be really important and critical for life? I hope we'll find out.
In Mongolia, first we'll visit goats who are helping families survive the long, cold winters.
Next, we'll head to Africa. In Burundi, goats are particularly involved with agriculture, helping families grow more nutritious food to keep their children healthy and happy.
And finally, in Zambia we'll meet three special goats who have become business partners with an amazing woman. Over time, together, they have truly changed the lives of those around them. I can't wait to meet them!
Kid and I are really excited to get on the road. And a little impatient—it's a long journey! If you're excited and impatient, too, you don't have to wait until Christmas to be helpful: you can give a goat like us through World Vision's Gift Catalog today to a family that needs a business partner or some extra nutrition.
Or you can sponsor a child and be a helpful part of his or her life, just like goats are every day!
And make sure to follow along with our journey this Advent. Who knows what adventures lie ahead!

The Issue: How homeless people living on New York City's streets are viewed and handled by the public.
Steve Cuozzo should stick to his witty restaurant reviews ("The Homeless Plague," PostOpinion, Dec. 5).
He stereotypes the homeless, en masse, as "mad" substance abusers.
Homelessness in and of itself is a traumatizing experience that is extremely hard to overcome and that has been shown to contribute to mental illness and to worsen existing mental illness.
People live on the street because the shelter system is dehumanizing, filthy, violent and packed over capacity.
With rents as high as they are — and, as Cuozzo well knows, with all real estate at very low vacancy levels — and wages stagnant or declining, many families have little emergency savings and are often one lost paycheck, one illness or one misfortune away from homelessness.
Cuozzo is more at home with his dining suggestions for the 1 percent. Roberta Winters
Richmond Hill
Thanks to Cuozzo for setting the record straight.
I'm a retired NYPD officer and wonder every day whether anyone is going to investigate the scammer on the corner of 48th Street and 7th Avenue "collecting for the homeless." I am certain that he needs a criminal investigation and that it is a ring of people, not an isolated case.
Cuozzo hit the nail on the head about the homeless, but that NYPD Officer Larry DePrimo is still a saint for what he did.
Just because scammers can make our charity seem naïve doesn't mean we shouldn't still give. We just need to be more selective.
Hopefully, Cuozzo's article will work in that direction.Brendan Finn

Last Known ActivityLindol F. Graham was born in Clinton, Massachusetts, according to most biographies and references. There is, however, some accounts that list Boston, and one account that shows his name on a memorial plaque in Ridgewood, New Jersey dedicated to "our sons of Ridgewood." He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. George C. Graham.
He was educated at Dartmouth, and enlisted in the Aviation Cadet Program on December 7, 1941. He received pilot training, and graduated at Selma, Alabama on August 5, 1942, a member of Class 41-G. He was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant, and received his pilot's wings.
Graham was assigned to the 79th Fighter Squadron, part of the 20th Fighter Group, for training in the P-38 fighter. In October, 1942, he was assigned the position of Assistant Air Operations Officer for the 79th Fighter Squadron.
In 1943, Graham deployed to England with the 20th Fighter Group, and was based at Kingscliffe AB, a RAF base designated by the USAAC as AAF Station 367. The unit's first combat mission came November 5, 1943. The unit was tasked with bomber escort duties.
On a mission escorting bombers to Frankfort on January 29, 1944, Graham shot down three enemy fighters. He followed this up on February 20 with 2 more aerial victories, making him the first "ace" in the Group. He had been promoted to Captain and made Air Operations Officer for the 79th Fighter Squadron in January, 1944.
On March 18, 1944, while on an escort mission, Graham and his wingman attacked an enemy fighter, scoring numerous hits on the plane, Graham followed the German pilot down and forced him into the ground. As he pulled up, his aircraft nosed over, hit the ground and exploded near Kronhwinkel, about 45 miles southwest of Augsburg, Germany.
He was buried in St. Alvold Cemetery at Metz, France, but later moved at the request of his next of kin to Lorraine American Cemetery. He lies in Plot F, Row 7, Grave 28.

79th Fighter Squadron records
8th Air Force Aircraft inventory records
Aircraft inventory records show that Captain Lindol Graham was assigned P-38J #42-67497 nicknamed "Susie." Evidently, he was re-assigned a P-38J that arrived as a "memorial plane." The employees of Lockheed gave contributions and worked free overtime to build aircraft which they then dedicated to another person's memory.
Graham's new aircraft was P-38J #42-679266, nicknamed "Susie" and carrying a small plaque that read "In Memory Lloyd Lee Wade." This was the aircraft in which he was killed. Missing Air Crew Report 3095 applies.
Interestingly enough, 79th Fighter Squadron records state that the aircraft noses were painted gray to simulate the reconnaissance model later known as F-5. It is not known if this was a ploy to outwit German pilots or to keep identification of the aircraft unit from being known by the enemy.

England is car hell. Let's forget about the expensively obvious for a moment (insane taxes, equally insane gas prices, doubly insane speed cameras on every corner and under your bed) and the plain daf (Clarkson thinks the Jaguar XK is cooler than the upcoming Dodge Challenger) and look at the cars themselves. They suck! Nine out of ten cars in Old Blighty are 1.9-Liter French diesels. The rest are Korean brands you don't even want to know about. (SsangYong Rexton II, anyone?) Sure, you will see an occasional large BMW "saloon," but closer inspection will reveal it to be a 520d SE with a 1995cc oil burner and tiny wheels (though, it does — slowly — get 41mpg). Audis sell pretty well in London, but the overwhelming majority of them are three-door A3s with puny engines. In other words, rebadged Golfs. (Jump baby, jump)
For as much guff as we in the automotive press (and especially us Swedish Mafia types) give an uninspired car like Chevy's Impala, transport said car to England and its blah by stateside standards looks are suddenly more handsome than 90% of the grimy little boxes puttering about London. Which is weird. Moreover, while I can't stand penis-substitute SUVs (Hummer H2, me looking at you), at least they have presence. Posturing is, if nothing else, visually interesting. And as my sister loves pointing out, H2s appear to be from the future. Whereas new cars in "Cool Britannia" appear to be from France and are therefore rotten looking with huge asses.
Personal transportation in Spain was a bit more interesting. And by more interesting I mean Renault Twingos and Smart ForTwos were all over the streets of Barcelona. The latter of which I really dig, while the former is more frighteningly anthropomorphic than a Nissan Micra. I have a theory as to why DCX is withholding the much discussed Smart cars from American streets. The almighty San Francisco Department of Parking and Traffic would stand to lose hundreds of millions of dollars in parking ticket revenues. Think I'm insane? You've never owned a car in San Francisco. And if you agree with me you have. Anyhow, most cars in Spain were also French and tiny and, well, rather meh.
There was one eye-opener — how utterly fantastic big cars looked. Buy an Audi A8 here in the states and you have a vehicle that dimensionally isn't much different than your Aunt's Avalon. In fact, it's about the same size as the Buick you just rented from Enterprise while visiting your Aunt and her Avalon over the holidays. But in London and Barcelona at least, Audi's big sedan truly is uber. Forget the ALUMINUM UND SHTEEL shtick, let's talk stance; a black A8 on wet cobblestones next to a teal Fiat Punto is devastating. Where I live, 7-Series are more common than Fords (no, really) and even as Bangled as they are, the big Bimmers basically blend into the background out here in Los Angeles. But on the narrow, wrought-ironed off streets of London they look like Dolph Lundgren in Rocky IV. Prussian physical perfection. Other cars that impressed; Maserati Quattroporte, Audi A6 Avant, Chrysler 300C, Jaguar XJ, Mercedes S550. Cars that looked like a Ford Taurus; Jaguar XK.

Looking forward to vyselegend coming back with loads of pictures and videos.
What a fantastic Le Mans edition! It had absolutely everything that makes an event unforgettable:
Lots of drammas, lots of action, lots of emotions. A fantastic weather, splendid girls, tasty barbecue, maybe the sun was a little bit too warm but that's better than camping in the cold mud...
I'm glad Peugeot broke their duck finally, but I don't really agree that they were stronger than last year. Actually they ran a relatively similar strategy, and they had even less performance advantage, but it was simply the first time they didn't suffer terrible luck, as no lapped car crashed in them, the weather was stable, and even if they still managed to do something very stupid with #7, they were ok. Still some strange glitch affected the #8, like last year. But then again it just confirms that the fastest car tends to break more often... Perhaps it's safe to say the the real "reliable" pace of the 908 is the one of the #9.
Audi were hurt by the lack of dry testing, and it was obvious that all three R15 had to deal with massive understeer for the first six hours. If you've seen Premat's crash on youtube it appears understeer coming in the right kink before Indianapolis was exagerated! By the way I was at Indianapolis at the start so the #3 crashed just 25m in front of me! I've shot it in the gravel:
During those hours before the night they lost the race IMO (even if cooling problems and suspention reliability would have compromised it later anyway). They tried to change nose several times, desesperatly searching for more front grip, but in the end I think they got too far and altered the balance of the car in an unsafe way. If you've watched the Lucas Luhr crash, you probably noted he didn't lost the rear suddently, but inexorably during two plain seconds of steering corrections, and despite having good forward momentum! So It feels to me like a longitudinally unbalanced car, although I'm not in position to argue if it's about the rear being to light or the suspention/camber/anti-roll bar settings being messed up... Audi are famous to extract the maximum from their cars, but here they seemed lost in terms of set up, which is understandable when you know the only running they did here was on the wet.
Funnily, it looked like a reverse battle of 2007, with the R15 suffering the same youth-related problems than the 07' spec 908, while Peugeot had a good deal of experience of the track/car combo. Notably, the cooling problem that haunted Peugeot for two years, specific to this track, was now Audi's trouble, as the remaining two R15 had to pit systematically for cleaning the turbo intakes.
Btw I'v taken interesting pic of their brake duct, and it is the first time I've seen it "caged" like that. Certainly they were aware of the risk of sucking in much dirt from the track.
I've also jumped on the occasion to take a close-up of the controvesial winglets of the front
And the revised engine cooling extraction, replacing the abrut grid from sebring.
As for the 908, I've shot it with the front flaps opened, and after they made lots of ink sink, it was discovered they just help cliping the front bodywork in...
Another little detail worth a pic was the intake, which external shape looks unchanged, but I'm pretty sure the splitter dividing the flows for the turbos and the brakes was vertical before, and it looks horizontal now. Or I'm just confused...
I'll try to post more stuff tomorrow. I discovered late in the saturday night that my camera was actually able to record some video clips in avi format, so I've rec little clips which I'd try to upload later. But nothing really special.
If anyone have a youtube clip of Treluyer's crash of the #17 Pescarollo please post a link here, because I was just back in the camp when I heard it in the radio, but was too tired to return to the track so I haven't seen the images...
PS: It seems the hosting server for the pics sucks a lot (a myspace account) , and hotlinking doesn't work ATM, so I've put a link under each pic. I hope it will work...

Hidden Doom. A small fish unknowingly drifts over a stargazer buried in the soft sediment bottom in Anilao Philippines. Stargazers are ambush predators that bury themselves in the sand and wait for unsuspecting prey to pass overhead. This image was taken at night with underwater lights that exposed the prey so I moved on not wanting to accidentally cause predation. // Photographed on @natgeo assignment Philippines // #ocean #Philippines #predation #stargazer for #moreocean follow @daviddoubilet

"Photographs have a special relationship with time. The very process of making an image involves time exposures of shorter or longer durations – and the end result is a moment of time," writes @natgeo photographers Diane Cook and Len Jenshel (@cookjenshel). "For our Your Shot assignment we want you to delve into describing the idea or concept of time. We are looking for images that encapsulate time, defining what a particular hour of the day looks like, tells a story about time, or captures a moment of time that clearly shows what life looks like at - say midnight, or 5:00AM, or noon. With clarity, coherence, and a point of view, show us a segment of life that defines a specific time, in the cycle of a 24-hour day.
The goal of this assignment is to publish a final story, with a full 24 hours in the life of our Your Shot community. What moment, scene, or activity tells us what a particular hour of the day look like? How do you frame it, what details are important to include?"

Video by @BertieGregory. Extreme climber Alejo Sanchez descends down an enormous rock face deep in the heart of the unexplored Chiribiquete National Park, Colombia. When he reached the bottom of this cliff, he made a remarkable discovery. He found a massive panel of ancient paintings featuring jaguars, people and more. This area is home to many of these paintings, representing some of the earliest evidence of humans in the Amazon. I shot this whilst accompanying a team from Fundacion Herencia, an incredible group of people doing real 21st century exploration. It's very humbling to know that there are still places on this planet we know almost nothing about. But despite it's remoteness, it is still under threat.
We owe a huge thanks to Parks Colombia and the Colombian Ministry of Culture for their support. For more on this place, Stay tuned for @stevewinterphoto 's upcoming jaguar story for @natgeo Magazine.

The auxiliary unit of American Legion Post 575 may ask Jim Hickey to return a $500 donation he was given to meet expenses incurred while raising funds for cancer research.
Hickey received $1,000 in contributions after he spoke at a post social.
The 39-year-old former Marine told members of the post and its auxiliary unit that after his father died of cancer, he embarked upon a walk across America in 1998 to raise funds for cancer research and treatment for Los Angeles-based City of Hope.
Post members responded to Hickey's story with a $500 check intended for City of Hope, and auxiliary members responded with a $500 check to help him with travel expenses as he continued his walk toward the West Coast.
Debbie Swanson, City of Hope's assistant director of marketing and communication, said Thursday that the research and treatment center cannot find a record of Hickey forwarding the post's $500 contribution.
''It looks like it never got here,'' she said.
Auxiliary members want to know if Hickey used some of the money they gave him to play bingo sponsored by the post and its auxiliary.
But it may be too late to get answers from Hickey. Earlier this week, he said he planned to leave Lubbock on Thursday.
Tom Bourland, Post 575 finance officer, said the post's donation probably cannot be recovered.
''I saw in the paper where he said he hoped he touched a lot of people in Lubbock. Well, he touched us for $500,'' Bourland said.
Linda Rangel, auxiliary leader, said post members wanted to help Hickey complete his walk.
''We helped him with finances because his father was a veteran and his father died with cancer,'' she said. ''The post gave him a check for research, and we gave him money for travel expenses.''
Hickey spoke at the post in February, shortly after he arrived in Lubbock.
''He said he was going to be here for two weeks,'' Rangel said. ''He said he needed a sponsor to drive with him through the desert. The money was supposed to be for that.''
Hickey's guest appearance at the American Legion was not his last visit to the post. Auxiliary members said he returned a few weeks later to play bingo.
Auxiliary members said they were not too concerned about him until Lub-bockOnline.com and The Avalanche-Journal reported that several local hoteliers had complained about him abusing their charity.
Now, post and auxiliary members want to know what he did with their donations.
''I'm going to have to get the board together to decide what to do,'' Rangel said Thursday. ''I have the name of the police officer that has worked this case.''
Rangel said she plans to call a meeting for sometime this weekend.
Borland said the post made its $500 check out to Hickey instead of to City of Hope.
''I don't suppose there is a whole lot we can do,'' he said. ''Legally, I don't know what we would do.
"There is no way to know or prove how he spent the money.''
City of Hope officials cut ties with Hickey last month amid complaints about his behavior, Swanson said. Few donations had been received as a result of his three-year walk, she said.
Hickey said Wednesday that City of Hope officials had failed to keep accurate records of donations resulting from the first part of his walk New York to Chicago.
Hickey paid a $217 bill at Koko Inn on Tuesday after a criminal complaint was filed by the hotel's manager.
Wednesday, he said he owed $62 to Lubbock Inn and planned to pay that debt before leaving town.
Managers said he was asked to leave at least four hotels during his stay in Lubbock.

Puma Biotech Fluctuates on Cancer Drug Update
Shares of Puma Biotechnology Inc. were volatile on Wednesday after the company said it reached an agreement with regulators on the design of a late-stage trial of its drug neratinib as a treatment for breast cancer.
Puma's agreement with the Food and Drug Administration covers the design, goals, and analysis of the trial. Puma said it will study neratinib as a treatment for breast cancer that has metastasized in patients who have failed at least two other treatments. The trial will compare a combination of neratinib and Roche's cancer drug Xeloda to a combination of Xeloda and GlaxoSmithKline PLC's Tykerb pill.
The company said it will start enrolling patients around 600 patients in March or April in the trial. It will measure how long the patients live after treatment, and will also measure their progression-free survival — or how long the patients live before they die or their disease starts to advance again.
Puma does not have any approved products, and neratinib is its most advanced experimental drug. It is a type of protein blocker that appears to target proteins associated with aggressive forms of breast cancer.
Shares of the Los Angeles company rose about 5 percent in early trading, then fell around 7 percent. At the close the stock was down less than 2 percent at $24.15.
Puma Biotechnology completed its IPO in April, and its stock has traded between $8 and $27.95.

As a yoga teacher, I am always looking for ways to power-up my plank pose. Here is one fun variation . . . turn your plank on its side! Side planks target almost all major muscle groups, including: glutes, obliques, quadriceps, hamstrings, thigh abductors and adductors. Furthermore, strengthening these stabilizing muscles serves to support the spine, especially the lumbar, helping to keep our back free of pain and improving posture. Since bikini season is here, I love to amp up my side plank by adding upper body internal rotation to literally whittle away my waistline, thus enhancing my natural curves. This side plank drill packs a powerful punch! Here's how to perform it properly and safely:
Start in a regular plank pose, feet about hip-width distance, hands shoulder-width distance. Press back strongly through heels and engage core and glutes to stabilize the body.
1 // Drop heels to the left, flex feet strongly, and lift right arm up and over your ear. Be mindful to press down with the entire surface area of your left hand as not to overload your wrist joint. Keep reaching your top hip up high to create a beautiful arch in the side waist, and keep pressure off of your left shoulder. Keep neck long and avoid sticking your booty back or belly out. I like to imagine that my body is balancing between two panes of glass.
2 // Exhale, then round your upper and middle back, wrapping your right arm around your left ribcage, and bringing your chest as close to parallel to the floor as possible. Try not to disturb the alignment of your lower body at all. Hold. Inhale and unravel back to starting position.
I like to do 3 sets of 5 reps on each side. If you find your wrists are getting too fatigued to maintain proper alignment, drop down onto your forearm.

Matthew Mazankowski, Grant Cassell and Matthew Tomkinson came together as an after-school pop-punk experiment, unsure and full of awkwardness. Jump to now, with more than a half-decade's worth of musical exploration under their belts, and Behind Sapphire is an unlikely artistic outpouring of folk-pop with a fantastically woven live show that spills over with quirky energy and intense celebration. Think: "Patrick Watson backed by Hey Ocean!" fused with the grandeur of Sufjan Stevens and Sigur Ros.

Six newly established Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) are expected to invite applications from 10,000 candidates to take part in the combined Personal Interview (PI) and Written Ability Test (WAT) process termed "Common Admission Process" (CAP), as per officials of IIM-Tiruchirappalli. Altogether, there are 800 seats available in the new IIMs.
The PI-WAT process will begin during the middle of February and continue till the middle of March, 2014. Since all the candidates will wait till the end of March, 2014 for the CAP Results to be declared, the admission process of premier business schools (B-schools) offering Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) programs might be adversely affected.
IIM-Tiruchirappalli is expected to conduct CAP 2014 for the six newer IIMs of Kashipur, Tiruchirappalli, Udaipur, Rohtak, Raipur and Ranchi.
The very first CAP for the new IIMs was held by IIM-Rohtak for the academic session of 2011-13. Group Discussion (GD) and PI were the main elements of the process. The CAP for Common Admission Test 2013 (CAT 2013) will be the fourth such process and include PI and WAT. The scores will be utilized by all the new IIMs.
IIM-Ranchi held the CAP after CAT 2011, during which GD was replaced with WAT. The third CAP for CAT 2012 was held by IIM-Raipur. PI and WAT were retained during this round.
CAP is expected to benefit students by saving time as the system does not require students to attend PI-WAT processes at multiple institutes. The entire procedure will be smoother which will benefit the IIMs as well.
All the six new IIMs excepting IIM-Kashipur and IIM-Rohtak have identical criteria for short listing candidates. IIM-Kashipur and IIM-Rohtak will send individual lists to IIM-Tiruchirappalli and a common list will be prepared. All the IIMs are expected to draw up their individual short list of students on the basis of their individual criteria. IIM-Tiruchirappalli will prepare the combined list of students which will be processed further.
As per officials of IIM-Tiruchirappalli, PI and WAT will be the only common parameters of assessment in the CAP by the new IIMs. Individual IIMs may have their own eligibility criteria such as professional experience of the candidates, scores in graduation, CAT scores, etc.
After the PI-WAT scores are normalized across all IIMs, centers and panels, a combined merit list is expected to be drawn covering all the candidates who are shortlisted for admission to the new IIMs. Each IIM will combine the normalized PI-WAT scores with other scores such as profile score, CAT score, etc. to prepare their own merit list to select candidates for admission.

(CBS/AP) ATLANTA - A court hearing on a disorderly conduct charge for Academy Award winning actress Reese Witherspoon has been rescheduled for May 22.
Witherspoon was arrested Friday during a traffic stop. Her husband, Hollywood agent Jim Toth, was arrested and accused of driving under the influence of alcohol.
A state trooper's report says Witherspoon told the trooper: "Do you know my name?" The report states she also said: "You're about to find out who I am."
The actress released a statement late Sunday apologizing and saying there was "no excuse" for her behavior.

A tick bite can make you allergic to red meat
ticks spread from the Southwest and the East to more parts of the United States. In some cases, eating a burger or a steak has landed people in the hospital with severe allergic reactions. Few patients seem aware of the risk, and even doctors are slow to recognize it. As one allergist who has seen 200 cases on New York's Long Island said, "Why would someone think they're allergic to meat when they've been eating it their whole life?" The culprit is the Lone Star tick, named for Texas, a state famous for meaty barbecues. The tick is now found throughout the South and the eastern half of the United States. Here's how it happens: The bugs harbor a sugar that humans don't have, called alpha-gal. The sugar is also is found in red meat - beef, pork, venison, rabbit - and even some dairy products. It's usually fine when people encounter it through food that gets digested. But a tick bite triggers an immune system response, and in that high-alert state, the body perceives the sugar the tick transmitted to the victim's bloodstream and skin as a foreign substance, and makes antibodies to it. That sets the stage for an allergic reaction the next time the person eats red meat and encounters the sugar...more

Pareto's 'Chronicles' in Relation to his Sociology
The 'second series' of the Giornale degli Economisti commenced in 1890 and established itself as the leading Italian vehicle for the dissemination of the new marginalist economics. From 1891 it also included a special feature entitled 'cronaca', which critically chronicled practical developments in Italian public policy, public finances and the state of the economy. Vilfredo Pareto was the regular author of the chronicles between 1893 and 1897. This study provides the context necessary for an appreciation of the juxtaposition evident in Pareto's chronicles between his radical-liberal critique of leading Italian politicians and his relatively gentle commentary on some Italian leaders associated with the extreme left. It also identifies attributes from Pareto's chronicles that extended, albeit in a modified form, to his 1916 Trattato di Sociologia Generale. In both instances: the actual political world is characterised on a similar basis; criticism is undertaken on a brutal, sarcastic and often polemic manner; and the left-right political divide is treated as a relatively low-order issue.

Vulnerability Details
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on systems with vulnerable installations of messaging applications that make use of the libpurple library. User interaction is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists in the implementation of the MSN protocol, specifically the handling of SLP messages. The function msn_slplink_process_msg() fails to properly validate an offset value specified in the SLP packet. By providing a specific value, an attacker can overflow a heap buffer resulting in arbitrary code execution.
