My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Cancer Hope Network, Inc., Chester, NJ, USA
Almost five years ago I was shocked to learn I had prostate cancer. Happily, I received good advice from friends and excellent medical care, and for almost three years I have been considered cancer free. Earlier this year I learned about the Cancer Hope Network and the wonderful work they do. I wish I had known about them while I was going through my own treatment but now I serve as a volunteer telling other prostate cancer patients about the positive experience I had. The staff at CHN provided me with excellent training, and they do a very careful job matching my circumstances to those of people who currently need encouragement and hope. I couldn't be happier to be helping current cancer patients and families through the Cancer Hope Network.

About Me
Well, i'm a french guy so as you know i always wear a beret and some bread, i am proud and impolite but romantic, my clothes smell like cheese, and if you have snails or frogs in your place, they'll certainly finish their life in my stomach!
Haha it's hard to describe, so read references down or meet me if you wanna know! (but be careful, i smell like roquefort!)
Life is not a restaurant but a buffet, stand up and help yourself.
Your life will become better, by making others' lives better.
Collect moments not things.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I didn't enough use CouchSurfing during my journeys. It's time to catch up!
I met people in Greece, Bolivia, Singapour, Poland... always good memories!
The more I travel, the more my interests augment and become different, I hate routine and spending a day without learning or seeing something new, so I try to take an interest into everything...
But you have to know that i like:
Meet people, play tennis, travel (noooooo serious?), sing under the shower, walk by night with my music in ears, Roger Federer, meet people, 80's and 90's music, dance until sunrise, meet people, read or listen to stories of travellers, blind test, soccer, Walt Disney, dance rock 'n' roll and salsa, drink beers listening to live music...and, oh i forgot: meet people.
I don't like:
Places with a lot of tourists, atmosphere in the subway in Paris (Thousands of persons imitating the smiley ":(" ), mushrooms, when my friends blame me singing under the shower while i have an angel's voice (i swear), travellers who don't respect the country they're visiting, to lose a blind test, spinach.

No justification for enhanced police search powers
20 October 2009
The lessons of the Haneef case are being ignored, writes Dr Fleur Johns in an article co-authored by Matthew Kalyk, published in today's edition of The Canberra Times:
There is a certain irony that as Australia contemplates a human rights act designed to prevent discrimination and enshrine individual freedoms we are also being asked to consider a stripping of rights in relation to our national security legislation. Australia may be on the cusp of endowing its national police force with broad powers to enter and search a person's premises without a warrant in certain "emergency" terrorist situations. This new proposed power is only one of many amendments now being considered by Federal Attorney-General Robert McLelland and his department, with public consultation on the subject recently closing.
The proposed powers enable police to search premises in an emergency situation to prevent an imminent terrorist attack. The exemplary scenario provided by the Attorney-General's Department is where a police officer suspects a person to be harbouring explosives ready to be used in a terrorist attack. At first, this may sound reasonable, assuming such powers would only be used in the case of a true emergency. However, as the Haneef case demonstrated, anti-terrorism laws have a propensity to catch not only persons about to commit serious terrorist offences, but also innocents going about their daily lives. The pressures associated with a perceived terrorist threat all too readily cloud judgments and lend suspicions the force of fact.
According to John Clarke, QC, in his report on the Haneef case, the unfounded belief that Mohamed Haneef was probably involved in terrorism "coloured the entire investigation". Where this is the case, warrantless searches, alongside other powers, risk serious infringement of innocent persons' rights to liberty, security and dignity.
Mindful of such risks, the Clark report argued for mechanisms of judicial oversight operative in a counter-terrorist context to be strengthened rather than weakened. Judicial supervision, through the warrant process, is a tried and true way of balancing the competing public interests at stake in police investigations of serious crime. There is no evidence that well-tested warrant procedures are obstructing the effective investigation of terrorism.
The recent apprehension of terrorist suspects in Melbourne, for instance, was effected successfully using warrants, despite the suspected attack being described by the Victorian Police Commissioner as "imminent".
It is true that there are already state laws authorising warrantless searches, but no law establishes such broad or elastic grounds to search a person's home.
The NSW Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002, for instance, vests police with warrantless search powers. They are, however, limited to searching a person or their vehicle, vessels and aircraft. and the limits on these powers are relatively tightly drawn.
In contrast, the provisions suggested by the Federal Attorney- General's Department are far too broad and do not offer any means of ensuring accountability for the exercise of powers they create.
First, an emergency need not actually exist for the power to arise. It will suffice if the police officer in question suspects on reasonable grounds that it exists.
Further, any officer may hold this suspicion, not only senior or experienced officers. Communities whose members are all too readily targets of terror-related suspicion will likely read these laws as eroding their protection from bias and unwarranted intrusion.
Second, the search is not limited to the prevention of a terrorist attack. Rather, it extends to the prevention of objects being used in any terrorist offence. Terrorist offences include offences such as financing terrorism or using a "thing" in connection with a terrorist attack. Therefore, practically any object usable in a terrorist offence anywhere - however insignificant or tangential the object and however remote the terrorist offence - may trigger the provisions, if it causes the requisite suspicions to be raised. Again, the Haneef case leaps to mind.
Third, there is no clear requirement that standard warrant procedure be judged ineffective for the purposes in question. The proposed law creates an impression that terrorist investigations should, as a matter of course, be treated by mechanisms outside the bounds of standard police procedure.
Finally, the proposed amendments do not provide for any ex post facto judicial review, whereby, after any exercise of the power, police officers would have to justify their actions before a judicial officer in the same way as if a warrant were being sought. The actions taken and the social costs of allowing them must be properly and impartially assessed.
These deficiencies in the proposed warrantless search laws should be of concern to police as much as to the general community. Police officers are poorly served by laws that provide loose guidance as to the circumstances in which they should be exercised.
Such laws could encourage excessive hesitancy as much as unjustified adventurism. They also risk involving police in costly litigation.
Ultimately, terrorist acts have two main purposes. First, they intend to cause devastation to civilian populations. Second, they intend to instil fear into a population that terrorist attacks are imminent at any moment.
Our federal police must be equipped to combat the first of these aims without pandering to the second.

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- T.J. Ford scored a career-high 25 points and freshman Brad Buckman grabbed 12 rebounds Saturday night as fourth-ranked Texas paid back Texas A&M with an 89-61 Big 12 Conference runaway.
Texas (12-2, 3-0 Big 12) improved to 35-2 against intrastate opponents in coach Rick Barnes' four-plus seasons. One of the defeats was an 80-74 loss to Texas A&M here last season that ended a 16-game skid in the series.
Jason Klotz scored a career-high 15 points as Texas won its seventh straight and improved to 8-0 at home.
The Longhorns took the lead for good on Royal Ivey's jumper with just over nine minutes remaining. That triggered an 18-1 run that featured seven points by Ford for a 30-12 cushion.
Texas A&M (9-5, 1-2) was led by Bernard King's 16 points. King poured in 30 in the Aggies' victory over Texas last season.

- Tony is right, that it's not good in every song.
I knew "Park that truck", but I had never pay
attention to the lyrics, cos Lips sings too fast and for
me, it was hard to know what the song was
about.

I took the lyrics and listened to the song (near my
dictionary)....the "impact" is not the same. I was affraid of Lips
singing. Sure, Robb was right. Lips sounds like a killer
on this song, and added to the beat of that tune
it's great.

Chinese top military officer on trial as gov't battles against corruption
China will court-marshal one of its most senior former military officers on charges of corruption, state media said, the highest-ranking official to date felled in President Xi Jinping's battle against deep-rooted and pervasive graft.
Xu Caihou retired as vice chairman of the powerful Central Military Commission last year and from the party's decision-making Politburo in 2012.
Xi heads the Central Military Commission, which controls the 2.3 million strong armed forces, the world's largest, and has repeatedly reminded them to be loyal to the ruling Communist Party.
Xi has made weeding out corruption in the military one of the top goals in his administration. It comes as Xi steps up efforts to modernise forces that are projecting power across the disputed waters of the East and South China Seas, even though it has not fought a war in decades.
Xu had been expelled from the party and would be handed over for a court martial after being accused of taking bribes, the official Xinhua news agency said. The military and judiciary both take orders from the party and will not likely challenge the charges against Xu.
"The party will never allow a hiding place for corrupt elements. The military will also never allow corrupt elements any place to hide," Xinhua said.
Both the party and the army, the agency said, had to understand "the long-term, complicated and arduous battle against corruption, and the need for the fight against corruption to be put in a more prominent position".
"Upon investigation, Xu Caihou took advantage of his office, helped others be promoted to positions and accepted bribes directly or through his family, used his position to influence others for profit and his family members accepted valuables from others."
In a series of separate and equally brief stories, Xinhua also announced the expulsion of Li Dongsheng, former vice minister of public security; Jiang Jiemin, the former head of the state asset regulator; and Wang Yongchun, former deputy head of state energy giant China National Petroleum Company, all for graft.
Xu has been under virtual house arrest for months while helping in the probe into Gu Junshan, who has been under investigation for corruption since he was sacked as deputy director of the logistics department of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) in 2012.
Gu was charged with corruption earlier this year.
Xinhua said that Xu had been under investigation since March 15, though this was the first time the government has made a public announcement about his case.
The party leadership had faced a dilemma over whether to prosecute Xu, who is undergoing treatment for bladder cancer, sources have said.President Xi has launched a sweeping campaign against graft since becoming party chief in late 2012 and president last year, vowing to take down powerful "tigers" as well as lowly "flies".
Xu is the most senior person to date to have been felled by Xi.

Artist's life-like bird exhibit taking flight
Art: Red Deer painter captures native varieties in traveling exhibition
Wednesday, Mar 19, 2014 06:00 am
A Red Deer artist's collection of life-like bird paintings is taking flight in a traveling exhibition that first landed in Okotoks almost two weeks ago.
Erika Schulz's display of 21 acrylic bird paintings called An Art Aviary presents a spectrum of native Alberta birds ranging from songbirds and farm fowl to raptors and scavengers and will adorn galleries across southern Alberta this year starting at the Okotoks Art Gallery's small gallery, where it is currently displayed.
The idea of capturing southern Alberta's native bird species using acrylic paints originated from Schulz's love of the flighty animals.
"I love birds and it's a subject that I enjoy painting," she said. "It's definitely one of my favourites. I have a relationship with the bird life in my area."
Schulz's home is next to the Kerry Wood Nature Centre, a natural reserve in Red Deer. With her house on a hillside beside the reserve and the Red Deer River running through the city offering a variety of bird species including eagles, flacons and the occasional white heron, Schulz has no shortage of subjects to paint.
"I'm lucky enough to live in an area that is surrounded by the parks system so I don't have to go very far to be in a naturalistic environment," she said. "There's a real great variety of birds and I see them all the time. It seemed natural for me to put together an exhibition of paintings all having to do with birds."
While many painters take pictures to capture their subjects, Schulz relies on the skills of her photographer friends – often browsing their online photo galleries and asking permission to use their captured images to create her next painting.
"I'm a terrible photographer," she admitted. "I'm not adept at it enough to take the really high quality shots."
Using these photographs, Schulz creates realistic paintings that accurately represent the colours and markings displayed on the various birds she paints.
Schulz also studies these details in her own backyard, which is filled with bird feeders and bird boxes year round.
"Being right next to the nature sanctuary there is a traffic flow between the nature centre and my backyard," she said. "I'm outside all the time and looking out the window all the time. You have to be so fast. I'll catch a flash of something I might not have seen before, the binoculars come out and I'm trying to figure out what that bird is."
Schulz recently connected with the Ellis Bird Farm in Lacombe, which is dedicated to the conversation of a variety of small bird species.
"I just started visiting them quite frequently in the summer time and getting more interested in what they're doing in their conservation," she said.
With birds a common topic of discussion for Schulz, she noticed a very black and white view when it comes to people's opinions on these egg-laying vertebrates. Either people love them, hate them or are terrified of them, she said.
"You get an extreme reaction from people," she said. "A lot of people are very dedicated to a certain bird type. Crows are always a big issue. They tend to be one of those birds people love or hate."
Schulz can't help admiring all bird types, but admits there are some she paints more frequently than others, including robins and blue jays, but tries to even it out as much as possible.
"There's such a huge variety that it seems a shame to be dealing with the same bird over and over again," she said. "I challenge myself to discover new varieties that I might not have seen."
For instance, once Schulz began the series people started suggesting she paint the yellow flicker, a woodpecker that exists in certain parts of Red Deer.
Having never seen the bird before, Schulz did some research and got busy painting. A week after completing the piece, 10 yellow flickers showed up in her yard.
"It was so bizarre," she said. "It was like a party was going on in my backyard of that bird. It's that whole law of attraction. If you paint them they will come."
As important as the image of the bird in each painting is the background, said Schulz.
Rather than placing the birds in a tree, on a pond or with other natural backgrounds, Schulz uses a different kind of imagery to provide contrast to the birds.
"In my paintings one of the things that I try to achieve with them is a sense of juxtaposition or contrast," she said. "The birds are quite realistically painted, but the background is flat."
Schulz said the backgrounds are spontaneously painted in a textural pattern - whatever happens to come to mind at the time.
"I just go in and paint it and make it up as I'm going along," she said.
Schulz began creating the collection in 2012, painting many of the pieces the last four months. Some individual pieces are on display at Bluerock Gallery in Black Diamond, but this is the first time Schulz exhibited An Art Aviary as a group.
"It's always wonderful to see a body of your work in a gallery setting," she said. "It gives you a great sense of accomplishment.
"It's always presented so visually. The spaces are designed for viewing with great lighting and a quiet atmosphere."
An Art Aviary is available for viewing in the Okotoks Art Gallery's small gallery until April 19.

The Pizza Man Heads Field for Buck's Boy Handicap
Contact : Jim Miller - (708) 780-3700
For Immediate Release
The Pizza Man Heads Field in Buck's Boy
STICKNEY, IL -- While the weekend focus is on the Breeders' Cup races from Santa Anita, Hawthorne will be running races in between those during the Saturday afternoon card with a very good feature, the Buck's Boy Handicap. For Illinois-bred turf runners, the Buck's Boy goes as race seven on the Saturday afternoon Hawthorne card and will be contested at 1 1/16 miles on the Hawthorne turf, which is expected to be less than firm after mid-week rain.
Leading the field in the Buck's Boy is local favorite The Pizza Man from the barn of Roger Brueggemann. Drawing the outside of the field of 10 in the Buck's Boy, The Pizza Man is the co-highweight with Coalport in the Buck's Boy at 124 lbs.. A winner three times this year, The Pizza Man won the Illinois Owners Stakes at Arlington on September 21 before coming to Hawthorne. On October 12, The Pizza Man defeated a solid field in the Robert F. Carey Memorial, just holding off a very game Tazz. On Saturday, The Pizza Man is the 2-1 morning line favorite and will be ridden by Rafael Hernandez.
Coalport is the second choice in the Buck's Boy at 7-2 as he comes from the barn of Wayne Catalano. A four time winner in 2013, Coalport defeated The Pizza Man in the state-bred Black Tie Affair at Arlington on June 15 over a yielding turf. In his most recent start, Coalport took on Silver Max and Wise Dan, running fifth in the Shadwell Turf Mile in a race moved to the Keeneland polytrack surface. Florent Geroux gets the call on Coalport on Saturday.
Coming off a very game effort in the Robert F. Carey Memorial, Tazz, looks to be the likely pacesetter in the Buck's Boy. Trainer by Christine Janks, Tazz defeated optional claiming company at Arlington on September 2 in a race taken off the turf, before running a close-up fifth in the Illinois Owners Stakes and the narrow defeat in the Carey. Tazz will be ridden once again by Rosemary Homeister, Jr. and carries 118 lbs. as the 5-1 third choice.
The field for the Buck's Boy:
PP Horse Jockey Trainer M/L
1 Fear the Kitten C. Emigh M. Maker 15-1
2 Luv Bandit N. Vigil T. Dorris 6-1

Issue No. 02 - March (1979 vol. 5)
pp: 138-147
G.R. Andrews , Department of Computer Science, Cornell University
Modula is a new programming language for implementing dedicated, parallel systems. Following a systematic design technique, this paper illustrates the use of Modula for the design of a message switching communication system. A message switching system poses a number of interesting. problems: a high degree of concurrent activity exists, a variety of I/O devices need to be controlled, messages can have multiple destinations, and messages can be preempted. The strengths and weaknesses of Modula with respect to these specific problems and its utility as a general purpose language are evaluated.

Trends and prospects for tax evasion
Tax evasion represents nowadays a complex economic and social phenomenon. It is also the central vector of the informal economy that proves the true amplitude of the informal plateau of the economy, being in interaction and in interdependence with the other components specific for economic and financial crime. Tax evasion phenomenon has a direct and prompt effect on the level of tax revenues, which leads directly to imbalance in market forces as well as to the illicit enrichment of the practitioners of this method of fraud affecting the state and, ultimately, each of us, honest taxpayers. Present both in the economic area and in the informal economy, where the phenomenon is widespread, tax evasion has reached in the last 19 years, in Romania, relatively large dimensions. The rise of this phenomenon in our country makes it so real that it became a daily presence in all income generating economic zones.

Top Gun: Combat Zones - PS2 - Review
Other than Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, not too many games released this year have been very satisfying when it comes to blowing stuff up. How am I supposed to take out my aggression on one of the kid-friendly enemies in Jak and Daxter, or the wussy marionettes from Devil May Cry? It does help to pretend that the marionettes are the members of a certain boyband, but it gets old after a while. Top Gun: Combat Zones is much more satisfying in the field of aggression. Did you have a bad day at work? Blow up a few polygonal planes to ease the pain. Did the cheap members of your family purposely forget to buy you a birthday present for the 10th year in a row? Bomb a virtual tank and smile. Top Gun won't make your job better or convince your family that it's better to give than receive, but it will take you away from your miserable life and allow you to live someone else's miserable life. Believe me, if you were all alone in a Harrier Jet and five enemy planes surrounded you, while several tanks fired from below, your life wouldn't seem so horrible.
The controls are simple and easy to learn. As usual, the left analog stick controls your plane's movements. Pressing forward on the left stick will make your plane go down, and if you pull back on the stick the plane will go up. To make a turn, you must first reposition your plane so that it is leaning on its side. Then pull back on the stick and the plane will react just as it would if you were trying to gain altitude. But because the plane is on its side, it will turn instead. The face buttons -- X, circle, triangle and square -- are used to fire your primary weapon, cycle through your weapons, fire your secondary weapon and change the target, respectively. L1 and R1 control the rudder, while L2 and R2 allow you to brake and accelerate. This makes it easy for gamers of all ages to pick up and play Top Gun. (Note: this game is rated "E" for Everyone, and even though there are a lot of explosions, it's no more violent than the classic shooter 1943 and is suitable for all ages. Parents should not be worried about letting their kids play this game.)
Top Gun has two game modes -- Quickstart and the simply titled "Game." Game is the main mode, offering gamers a plethora of missions to complete. There are three eras to choose from, but you must defeat the first era before the second one will become available, etc. Within the first era, there are five Academy missions, all of which must be completed before the Warzone missions can be selected.
Despite what it says on the back of the box, the Quickstart mode does not allow you to build an unlimited number of new missions. You can build many variations of each mission, but it's hardly a new experience each and every time. It is fun, just not as deep as Titus would have you believe.
Graphically, Top Gun is neither "astounding" nor "very detailed." That's not to say that this is an ugly game, because it's anything but. However, the excessive amount of fog may make you think otherwise. The backgrounds are no more detailed than Star Wars Starfighter. Most of the environments are fully rendered, but it's hard to think of these graphics as being beautiful after playing Star Wars: Rogue Leader. I know that Rogue Leader is on the GameCube, a console that is slightly more powerful than the PlayStation 2. But the PS2 has not reached its peak yet, and its power can be utilized much more efficiently than Titus seems to realize. Top Gun is a decent looking game, but don't expect to be blown away by it.
Flight simulator fans will surely enjoy Top Gun: Combat Zones, but at this time, it might be best to rent the game first. $50 is a lot of money to spend, especially at the one time of the year when there are tons of must-have games available. Top Gun is a good buy, but don't choose it over something like Silent Hill 2 unless you've played it first. Even then, I still recommend that you rent it before making a purchase.
|#Reviewer's Scoring Details
Gameplay: 7
Top Gun is stress-relieving fun! There's nothing like cruising around the sky in an F-14. You speed past the enemy, do a one-eighty and send a missile his way. It's moments like these that make a good game even better.
Graphics: 6
The plane models are pretty impressive and the backgrounds look nice too. There is quite a bit of fog though, and overall Top Gun is doesn't look as polished as other flight simulators.
Sound: 6
Flight simulators are rarely known for having good music. I doubt that anyone will remember Top Gun for its music, but if the game is still on my mind ten years from now, the soundtrack is what I'll be thinking about. My personal favorite is the short tune that plays when you die.
Difficulty: 6
The controls are very simple and will be learned by most gamers in a matter of minutes. This isn't an easy game, but there are several difficulty levels to choose from, making Top Gun accessible to all gamers.
Concept: 5
Top Gun is a good game, but it doesn't play like anything I haven't played before.
Multiplayer: N/A
Overall: 7
Top Gun: Combat Zones is an arcade-type flight simulator loaded with things to blow up. It's not perfect, but next to Star Wars Starfighter, Top Gun is the best flight simulator on the PlayStation 2.

Let's face it, for whatever reason, guys seem to be attracted to bitchy girls. Even the ones that aren't "all that" can draw a faithful following. Hollywood is not unaware of the power of the super bitch, and when they combine bitchiness with hotness, you get some of the most compelling alpha female movie characters ever.
She was Roy Munson's (Woody Harrelson) nemesis for most of the movie, but Claudia's ball busting skills came in handy when she finally decided to use her bitchy powers for good instead of evil.
Best Bitch Line: "Your act is about as fresh as a Foghat concert."
Multi-tasking bitch Kathryn teaches less knowledgeable girls how to make out, destroys reputations and offers scandalous sexual favors for doing her bidding all at the same time. With a stepsister like this, who needs online porn?
Best Bitch Line: "I hate it when things don't go my way. It makes me so horny."
Chelsea Turner is the queen of relationship manipulation. You probably have half a dozen friends that need to see this movie now, before their real lives turn into a documentary worthy version of this "romantic" comedy.
Best Bitch Line: "Please, he's a man. He has no idea how he's feeling."
With her over the top sense of entitlement and raging mood swings, Pop Tart pin-up Samantha James brings the art of bitchiness to new heights.
Best Bitch Line: "Not you, Wrinkles"
Hilary, the stereotypical high school mean girl, gets an extra boost of self-righteous smugness by having Jesus in her corner.
Best Bitch Line: "I know what you're looking at, Mary. And Jesus does too."
Jessica, the clueless high school bitch, learns valuable life lessons when she has to live life in Rob Schnieder's body and work as the school janitor.
Best Bitch Line: "Look at these earrings. I'll be the envy of every girl at prom. Not like that was in jeopardy or anything."
As frenemy to Jane (Thora Birch), backstabbing Angela wickedly seduces Jane's dad (Kevin Spacey) with campy high school dance moves and rose petals.
Best Bitch Line: "If people I don't even know look at me and want to fuck me, it means I really have a shot at being a model."
No one gay, straight, friend, family or foe is safe from Dede's evil bitchiness. She takes conniving to the next level and holds it there for the entire movie.
Best Bitch Line: "If you think I'm just plucky and scrappy and all I need is love, you're in over your heads. I don't have a heart of gold and I *don't* grow one later, OK? But relax. There's other people a lot nicer coming up – we call them "losers."
Alpha female, Avery Bishop doesn't have a huge role in Jerry Maguire, but her moments on camera are filled with pure bitch magic.
Best Bitch Line: "There is a sensitivity thing that some people have. I don't have it. I don't cry at movies, I don't gush over babies, I don't buy Christmas presents 5 months early, and I DON'T tell the guy who just ruined both our lives, "Oh, poor baby."
With this role, Nicole Kidman went from being the frizzy haired, bucked-tooth wife of celebrity dwarf Tom Cruise, to femme fatale seductress. As Samantha Stone, she let's nothing stand in the way of her insatiable need for fame.
Best Bitch Line: "Really? Well, you tell Russell if he doesn't keep his mouth shut, he's gonna be playing his goddamn CDs in the gas chamber!"

Mexico City to Test 500 Honda Hybrids
24 January 2006
Mexico's National Institute of Ecology (INE) and Honda have signed an agreement for the joint environmental evaluation of 500 Civic Hybrid sedans in Mexico City, notable for its high altitude, heavy pollution and high fuel consumption.
According to Secretary of the Environment and Natural Resources, José Luis Luege Tamargo, who officiated at the signing, Mexico City consumes 26,000 tonnes of gasoline and diesel daily—about 208,000 barrels, or 8.7 million gallons of fuel.
Tamargo stated that his agency (SEMARNAT) plans to drive the use of hybrids at the national level in all federal agencies. SEMARNAT will be the first agency acquiring the hybrids.
President of the INE, Adrián Fernandez Bremauntz, noted that in addition to reducing criteria pollutants, the use of hybrids would reduce fuel consumption thereby reducing the carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to global warming.
The hybrid test will last three months and will measure fuel efficiency and emissions in city and highway driving, under different climatologic conditions. The cars will then become part of the government's fleet.

Hey everyone. I got a friend of mine to try to install my Wiikey, and he couldn't do it. He's pretty good at soldering, but when he tried to solder the wire to the one point on the board, that solder point dropped down, and now there's no little point there, just the green board. So, my question is: Is the board still ok? Will I still be able to install a mod chip, and have the Wii still work? Thanks!
edit: I'll post a picture within the next 4 days or so.
I had a similar situation happen to me
try using soldering flux, it can be purchased from any radioshack and its only like 4 bucks, it didn't work on mine, I ended up having to purchase a whole new wii, but atleast the games still work on the old one so I just gave it to my niece

From the Design Desk: Investigative Journalism
Walking around our office, you'll find that every desk hosts a notebook of some sort. These lists, scribbles, and doodles help us stay organized, work out our ideas, remember things, and stay awake during revenue meetings.
It's no wonder that journals—made to be personalized, to contain information unique to the owners—are chosen based on a reflection of identity (and, yes, function).
So what does a visual field study of the journals chosen by Chronicle employees tell about us? Well, I can't really answer that. But I can share with you what you may find if you were to walk around our office:
The Rex Ray Notebook (a classic unisex choice), the Xilocart Elefanti Chronicle Notes and Sunblooms Bound Journal.
A well-loved and well-worn Cupcake Journal, and the delightful Cath Kidston Ottoman Roses Notebook.
The Dumpling Dynasty Journal was a popular choice in our field research (above). Spiral-bound and slightly larger than our average journal, the pages of these specimens were densely adorned and held up well to the fury of the ballpoint pen.
The clear winners (in term of office popularity) were our very own Native Flowers and Native Herbs journals by the lovely artist Jill Bliss (above). With delicate floral illustrations and a soothing palette, the appeal is obvious. But this small journal also opens flat with a thin paper that's perfect for both notes and sketches.
Of course, our study would not be complete without mentioning the infamous, classic, and all-powerful Moleskine (above). This anonymous, sleek black force is pervasive both in our offices and in the hearts of creatives worldwide. Available in many shapes and sizes, a Moleskine notebook is incredibly durable and its paper—an artist's dream.
Not all the notebooks and journals we found were published or distributed by Chronicle Books. Our industrial designer Will Abbott has nightmares if he forgets to leave the office without his black spiral-bound Unique Journal by Michael Roger Press clutched tightly against his chest.
And our lovely receptionist Claire Fletcher belongs to that group of creatives whose journal (above) is an actual work of art.
If you like journals and journal art as much as we do, check out The 1000 Journals Project, which contains the beautiful and entertaining work of more than 250 contributors from around the world. And there's more: A film about the 1000 Journals is just now beginning its journey at the San Francisco International Film Festival.

Responding to the growing concern over the geopolitical and national security concerns from the potential severe impacts of global warming, Congressman John B. Larson (CT-01), participated in the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming first hearing today. The hearing is the beginning of a conversation to address these challenges. Below is Congressman Larson's opening statement as prepared for delivery:
"I would like to thank Chairman Markey and Ranking Member Sensenbrenner for organizing today's hearingthe first hearing of the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming. On the inauguration of the first hearing, I also feel it is appropriate to recognize and thank Speaker Pelosi. Made possible through her leadership and vision, this Committee has been tasked with addressing one of the most, if not the most challenging issues facing our nation and the world.
"How appropriate that this, the Committee's first hearing is examining how our country's addiction to oil impacts our foreign policy and national security. More than 200 years ago, President George Washington first warned the nation about the dangers of foreign entanglements. Never have the first President's words resonated so clearly then in our current dependence on foreign oil. America's addiction to oil holds us hostage to foreign countries, many of which are anti-American and anti-democracy. Moreover, our oil addiction and oil consumption have contributed to global warminga brewing storm, that if we do not address soon will have even a greater role in our foreign policy and national security.
"This crisis demands a focused and comprehensive answer. Rather than looking abroad, I believe simple solutions can be found in our backyard, from South Windsor, Connecticut to Sioux Falls, South Dakota. For example, UTC Power in South Windsor is a world leader in developing and producing fuel cells, a viable alternative energy. Through this type of American innovation, we can grow the economy, protect the environment, and refocus our foreign policy and national security priorities.
"I want to thank the witnesses for appearing before us today. I look forward to hearing your testimony on U.S. dependency on foreign oil and welcome working with the Committee in recommending policies that support viable energy alternatives to this Congress."

AT&T has already rolled out the awaited KitKat upgrade to the LG G2, but T-Mobile customers are still left waiting. In the meantime, those who can't wait much longer can try their luck with this leaked factory image for the smartphone bearing Android 4.4, and apparently some rather questionable changes as well.
Although slated for December, based on info provided by our favorite French carrier slash informant SFR, the LG G2 Android 4.4 update has been delayed again and again, with LG Canada mentioning a rather vague 2014 first quarter ballpark date. Early January, a G2 was spotted running the said Android version. Finally this week, AT&T let go the Android 4.4 release for their subscribers.
This Android 4.4 factory image for the LG G2 was provided by a member of XDA, so no guarantees are given. It is, however, interesting to note comments regarding some of the things missing in the image. For one, the new Android Runtime or ART is reported to be missing, which is rather strange considering ART made its debut precisely in Android 4.4. But perhaps more surprising to users is the fact that the NFC-based Tap To Pay feature in Google Wallet seems to have been disabled. Granted, such payments are not that widely in use anyway, but some users have wondered if T-Mobile purposely disabled it in order to give an advantage to its own Tap To Pay system.
That said, being an unofficial and unconfirmed firmware, we cannot yet consider these things as final. If the image did indeed come from T-Mobile's servers, then an official rollout might soon be at hand and T-Mobile subscribers should probably sit this one out for the time being.

Lenovo ThinkCentre A61e green PC
Consumes less power than a lightbulb?
Posted in Personal Tech, 28th April 2008 11:02 GMT
Review Lenovo claims that its ThinkCentre A61e laptop-as-desktop PC is the greenest ThinkCentre ever, thanks to the low power requirements of the AMD Athlon 64 X2 BE-2350 processor it uses. Does that claim have any merit?
The A61e is a tiny machine that measures 275 x 242 x 81mm and weighs in at 3.72kg, although the figures are helped by Lenovo's use of a hefty external power brick that has a rating of 130W. Our testing suggests Lenovo could have reduced the size and rating of the power supply by a considerable amount, but more on that later.
Lenovo's A61e: compact
Flip a single latch and the case hinges open to reveal the inner workings, although there's not a huge amount to grab your attention. The Lenovo Buckeye motherboard is sized somewhere between Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX, and uses a hotchpotch of technologies that are mainly derived from the desktop.
The 2.10GHz dual-core processor and AMD 690 chipset are regular desktop components, but the single 512MB module of PC2-5300 memory that runs at 600MHz is a laptop component, presumably to save space inside the tiny case. The expansion options on the board are non-existent and there is no possibility that you can install a graphics card or sound card. Yet for some reason Lenovo has specified desktop-sized optical and hard drives. Although they use slender SATA connections, these components are strange choices that take up more space than the equivalent laptop parts yet they have very low specifications. The hard drive is an 80GB Western Digital unit that retails for £30 and the CD-RW/DVD-Rom combo drive sells for less than £15. Lenovo could have specified a 250GB drive and a DVD writer for a barely any extra cost.
Lenovo's Buckeye mobo
One area of good news is that the Athlon 64 X2 BE-2350 uses so little power that Lenovo has been able to employ a small, passive cooler, so the only moving part inside the case is the platter in the hard drive and the optical unit's innards.
All this ensures the A61e is very quiet when it's operating, although we were rather caught out by the integrated mono speaker that is connected to the ADI 1984A audio chip. The only volume control is in software so it's hard to avoid the wretched Windows sound at start-up.
The use of an AMD 690 chipset is very sensible as it consumes a tiny amount of power and has integrated graphics that are competent enough to handle Windows. However, the list of features that have been provided on this PC is rather short. There's a VGA output on the I/O panel along with three audio jacks, Gigabit Ethernet and four USB 2.0 ports, with two more on the front of the case.
Easily accessed innards
Lenovo includes a wired optical mouse and a basic keyboard in the package but the £311 price doesn't include a display. We were sent a ThinkVision L193p TFT that sells for £231 - a heft price considering it's just a basic 19in display with a 1280 x 1024 resolution. While the L193p has both DVI and VGA inputs, the A61e only has a VGA output so that's something of a mismatch.
This is somewhat depressing as the Radeon X1200 graphics in the 690 chipset are perfectly capable of supporting a digital connection.
The other notable feature of the L193p is the pivot function. However, the screen is rather square in shape so pivoting from landscape to portrait doesn't actually make much difference. You have to manually rotate the image using the ATI Catalyst Control Centre, and while it's not a difficult task it's unlikely to appeal to the PC Luddites who are, you would think, the natural customers for such a basic computer.
Lenovo has chosen to install Windows XP Pro on the A61e, rather than Vista, which is probably a good idea as a slow processor and 512MB of RAM is hardly a match made in heaven for Microsoft's latest.
Once the system was running and we'd entered the usual Windows details for our choice of language and keyboard settings there were 945MB of Windows Updates to install of which 194MB was Service Pack 1 for the trial version of Office 2007. Thank heaven for Broadband. After the restart there were 87MB more updates, then another 38MB of Windows software and then it was time to update the Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update 3 software. Once we were done, the total had reached one-and-a-half gigabytes of updates.

The PC comes with a basic selection of media software that consists of InterVideo WinDVD 5 and Sonic RecordNow 2 as well as PC-Doctor 5 and Diskeeper Lite. The ThinkCentre software is familiar to anyone who has used a ThinkPad laptop, but the truth is you need a bare minimum of tools to keep a basic desktop PC working properly.
Power Draw Results
Power Draw in Watt (W)
The performance of the system is fairly pathetic, but it is adequate for day-to-day duties. The surprise was how limp the Radeon X1200 graphics were compared to the X1250 core that we saw when we looked at the 690G chipset a year ago on the Asus M2A-VM motherboard - all reviewed here. Having said that, the A61e does give you the tools that you need to write e-mails, work on a spreadsheet or buy DVDs from Amazon.
And Lenovo's claim to eco-friendliness? It does have merit: during testing we found the power draw of the PC was 40W at idle and a mere 55W under load - well below the 130W the bundled power brick is capable of delivering. So, Lenovo, why didn't you include a smaller AC adaptor?
Would we recommend that you buy this small, quiet, relatively cheap PC? Well, no.
How green is my desktop?
The problem is that the A61e is cheap but it's not cheap enough. You can buy a comparable Dell Vostro 200ST with an Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive and Windows XP for £175 plus shipping. You can get a 19in Dell TFT for £150. Granted, the Vostro isn't quite as small as the A61e and it won't be passively cooled, but it should be quiet enough for use in the home or office. Added to that the extra hard drive space and DVD burning capability, and the difference in price is telling.
The ThinkCentre A61e is very basic and while it does a competent job it seems terribly expensive compared to a better-specced Dell Vostro.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who freaks out upon the sudden realization that I am, in fact, a grown up.
I mean, I really should have gotten the idea by now, what with expecting my second child, having a cubicle job and celebrating several wedding anniversaries. And if those things weren't enough, there are plenty of other things that remind me I'm not a kid anymore. The sciatic nerve pain, the $86 spent at Lowe's on strings of outdoor lighting, the term life insurance we recently purchased.
Sure, some of those things make feel just plain OLD (sciatic limp!), but some make me feel downright responsible. Like the insurance. When you're building a family, it's much more fun to talk about things like new cloth diaper prints and swaddle blankets, but what those babies really need is the kind of security that comes from a solid policy instead of a soft blanket.
But what is term life insurance? Basically, it's a great way to protect your family against risk. The risk presented by your untimely death, specifically. Its purpose is to pay off debts, like mortgages, dependent care, college costs for your kids, and funeral expenses. You purchase a plan for a limited amount of time, as opposed to universal life insurance, which guarantee coverage for your entire lifetime. For example, you might choose to purchase a plan that lasts only until you plan to pay off your mortgage, or until your retirement age, when you are likely to have less debt. Term life insurance is often the most affordable way to provide that kind of security to your family for a fixed amount of time.
Our policy is quite inexpensive – about the cost of one night of takeout or a pack of diapers. I sincerely did not write this post to be a downer, but number crunching has been top of mind lately in our home. In the midst of the holiday season, or on the cusp of welcoming a new baby, it's easy to get wrapped up in the fun and excitement. But, as a gift to you, I offer up just a little nudge of a reminder to think longer term. You'll never regret providing your family with that extra peace of mind!

for no guitars.
Other than that this is awesome! Very close to the original! Hurry and get Kerrie in there so I can hear her wonderful interpretation of David's vocals.

Michelle talks health care for women
First Lady Michelle Obama targeted another key constituency in the health care debate Friday, highlighting the concerns of senior women at the White House.
At a gathering of administration officials and health care advocates, Obama talked about the special responsibilities and burdens of women and seniors and how reform fits in.
Story Continued Below
"Women are among those who will benefit most from health insurance reform...We are the health care system in so many ways," Obama said in a 12-minute address. "We are asked to bear much of the responsibility but we often face challenges when it comes to our own health care."
The first lady has had similar events on health care, delivering speeches to gatherings of women, health care workers and advocates.
East Wing aides said she may hold similar events in the coming weeks, depending on how reform efforts develop in Congress.
At the Friday event three seniors took the podium in the East Room and told of health care crises and insurance problems, with Medicare in particular.
Medicare has been a major focus of the health care debate and the plans being considered call for as much as $500 billion in cuts to the government program.
Nancy-Ann DeParle, Director of White House Office of Health Reform, said that Obama's plan would "strengthen Medicare and put some fairness back in the system."
"It's the right plan for women and the right plan for America," she said.
Obama, who said she was battling a cold, did not go into specifics about what the plans being considered offered and said she didn't know what would land on her husband's desk, but said the plan would not endanger Medicare.
Using similar phrases from President Obama's talks on health care, the first lady said that health insurance reform would end "wasteful subsidies and crack down on fraud."
She said the president believes that Medicare is a "sacred part of America's safety net."
"America has a responsibility to give all seniors the golden years they deserve," she said. "That's exactly what health insurance reform is going to help us do in this country....Let's get to work."

Putin to Bush: My dog is bigger than yours
"You're lucky he only showed you his dog"
Russian leader Vladimir Putin once boasted to then-President George W. Bush about the size of his dog, in the ultimate of "mine-is-bigger-than-yours" stories.
Former President Bush writes about the episode in his memoir, "Decision Points," which hits book stores next Tuesday.
Bush says he had introduced then-Russian President Putin to his Scottish terrier, Barney, on a visit to the U.S. presidential retreat, Camp David.
Putin returned the favour when Bush visited Russia and Putin was giving him a tour of the grounds of his dacha.
"A big black Labrador came charging across the lawn. With a twinkle in his eye, Vladimir said, 'Bigger, stronger, faster than Barney,'" Bush writes.
Bush says he later told the story to the Canadian prime minister, Stephen Harper, who replied: "You're lucky he only showed you his dog."
Bush, when he began his presidency in 2001, famously looked into Putin's eyes and said he saw his soul. "In the years ahead, Putin would give me reasons to revise my opinion," he writes.
Bush says the low point in his relationship with Putin came in August 2008 when Russia invaded neighboring Georgia. Bush complained to Putin directly at the Olympic opening ceremonies and noted to him that Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili is "hot-blooded".
"I'm hot-blooded too," Putin retorted, according to Bush.
"No, Vladimir, you're cold-blooded," Bush said he replied.

SPRINGFIELD - The man recently charged in the death of a Rincon woman is back in Effingham County after he was apprehended last week in Ohio.
Rincon Police Chief Mike Bohannon has confirmed Chris Todd Lowery, 45, of Guyton arrived by police escort to the Effingham County jail about 4:30 a.m. Wednesday after an Ohio judge granted his extradition Monday.
Jail records indicated his case already had been bound over to Superior Court.
Jail records also indicate Lowery is currently on probation out of Chatham County.
Lowery was charged last week with felony murder and malice murder in the death of Linda Schaffer, 60, of Rincon.
Schaffer's body was found May 28 in the kitchen floor of her home on Rahn Street - apparently dead from multiple stab wounds - after officers were notified by friends they had been unable to reach her for a number of days.
U.S. Marshals apprehended Lowery four days later in a motel in Marietta, Ohio.
His other charges include aggravated assault, possession of a knife during the commission of a crime and identity theft.
Husband, wife arrested on burglary charges
RINCON - A married Rincon couple was arrested Thursday on burglary charges in a raid on a local motel.
Christopher Parnell, 20, and Feather Dawn Parnell, 19, both were charged with commercial burglary.
Effingham County sheriff's deputies believe the couple is responsible for a burglary at the Auto Shine on Ga. 21 South last weekend, spokesman David Ehsanipoor said.
"The suspects forced their way into the business and took an undisclosed amount of money," Ehsanipoor said.
The couple also is suspected in additional area crimes.
"They also may be connected to an armed robbery in South Carolina," Ehsanipoor said.
Ehsanipoor said the investigation is ongoing, and additional charges may be filed.
Deputies also found marijuana in the pair's motel room, Ehsanipoor said.
Rincon police assisted in the arrests.
Springfield church target of vandalism
SPRINGFIELD - Effingham County sheriff's officials are investigating yet another incident of church vandalism, this time at Fellowship Bible Church on Old Dixie Highway.
According to sheriff's reports, sometime between June 2 and June 5, someone took more than $500 worth of planted trees and shrubbery from the church grounds, including palm trees, cherry trees, rose bushes, camellias and a 125-foot water hose.
The Rev. Robert Quarterman, church pastor, reported the incident to sheriff's officials and said the church's well house also received damage.
Sheriff's officials continue to investigate the incident.
Deputies search for home invasion suspects
SPRINGFIELD - Effingham County sheriff's deputies were searching Friday for a home invasion suspect who robbed a victim at his residence shortly before midnight Thursday in the 500 block of Godley Road in the Faulkville community.
Deputies are searching for Robert Zork Jr., 28, of Ellabell, and added a second person to the search Friday, Staci Shearouse, 29, also of Ellabell. Shearouse also is known by the name Staci Holland.
Sheriff's officials report the couple may be driving a blue Honda Civic.
Zork is wanted for robbery, and Shearouse is wanted by investigators for party to a crime.
Investigators believe the offenders knew the victim who was robbed of a large amount of money, Effingham County sheriff's spokesman David Ehsanipoor said.
Anyone with information on their whereabouts is asked to contact the Effingham County Sheriff's Office at 912-754-3449. Callers may remain anonymous.
Zork is considered armed and dangerous and has an extensive criminal history, including a March arrest in Effingham County for entering auto, theft by taking and parole violation, Ehsanipoor said.

There are only two things preventing Alderman Ed Bus from becoming the next mayor of Chicago. He doesn't exist, and neither does the 53rd Ward he represents.
Bus is the creation of Justin Kaufmann, of the comedy troupe Schadenfreude, which often appears on WBEZ. A caricature of a North Side machine hack, he wears a hard hat and growls in an exaggerated Chicago accent. His ward, much re-mapped over the years, now consists of the island at the intersection of Damen, Elston and Fullerton. He carries a bag of Quik-Rete in the trunk of his car, to repair potholes, and oversees the curriculum at Dennis Farina Middle School, his ward's educational jewel.
Until this week, Bus was a star of stage and YouTube, rap battling with Rhymefest on The Interview Show at The Hideout, and hosting real-life Ald. Scott Waguespack at Schadenfreude's Rent Party.
But now, Bus has made the big leap into public access television. He crashed CAN-TV's "Chicago Newsroom." Around 22 minutes into the show, as host Ken Davis and Chicago Reader staff writer Ben Joravsky prepared to discuss Rahm Emanuel's campaign, Bus blundered onstage, declaring he was early for his own show, "Ward Issues."
"I've been alderman for 40 to 45 years," Bus declared. "I'm the only alderman on record who's voted for Mayor Daley's initiatives every time, and people respect that."
Then Bus announced he's introducing an ordinance to change the Pledge of Allegiance with a pledge to the Daley family.
"I'm subservient in a good way," he said. "I'm not paid $110,000 a year to think. I'm there to make Daley look good. I'm running for mayor on a platform of 'Keep It Like It Was.'"
When Davis asked Bus about Tax Increment Financing, he responded, "I don't know anything about it. If the mayor says it's good, it's good." He shot a look at Joravsky: "Then you write a 19-page story about it."
When the topic finally came back to Rahm Emanuel, Bus had warm words for the mayoral candidate.
"Rahm Emanuel owes a lot to Ed Bus," Ed Bus said. "I was the one who said, 'Give this kid a chance. He's got a weird name. When he was running for Congress, I had a couple of my guys help him out."
Still, Bus is running his own campaign.
"Vote for Mayor Daley, even if he's not running," Bus shouted. "And vote for Ed Bus!"

So, my contribution to your downfall is that you should squirt Hershey's chocolate sauce directly from the container into your mouth. Forget the spoon, it's just one more thing to wash. Think of it as a challenge to get that stuff in your mouth without triggering your gag reflex.

It's apparently not enough that the people of Pennsylvania have had to endure the lack of choice, dearth of competition and endless inconvenience that comes with a Depression-era, state-run liquor monopoly.

Kalmadi, accused in the Commonwealth Games scam, is currently out on bail.
The BJP and MNS workers waved black flags and tried to prevent Kalmadi from entering the building. But his supporters and police intervened to make way for him to enter through a side-gate. The municipal corporation is controlled by the Nationalist Congress Party and the Congress.
Kalmadi's secretary said the MP was scheduled to open the sports committee office of the PMC, and later discuss local issues with Commissioner Mahesh Pathak.A spokesman of the opposition parties said Kalmadi had lowered the prestige of Pune with his alleged involvement in the Commonwealth Games scam, and had no moral right to participate in the civic matters.

Book signing
Award-winning author Autumn Jordan will conduct a book signing from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Palmerton Area Library.
She will sign copies of her newest release, "In the Presence of Evil."
A blurb from the book is as follows: Gina's upcoming Christmas looks bleak when she is framed for the murder of her boss. The only way she can stay out of jail is to accept help from the man who broke her heart years ago.
Staring down death is easier for Marine Cole Hanson than facing the woman who betrayed him. Seeing Gina in handcuffs, however, fires up old feelings, and even though he doesn't trust her with his heart, he willingly becomes her alibi.
While the two struggle to hunt down the real murderer, the killer closes in, threatening Gina's life. Will Gina and Cole learn to trust each other again in time? Or, will the killer use their love against them?
Jordan is the 2010 Golden Leaf Winner for Best First Book and Romance Writers Of America; and a 2009 Golden Heart Finalist.

European-trained horses have won 18 of the 38 Breeders' Cup Miles and Turfs (both grade I) that have been run, or 47%. Their batting average in the Filly & Mare Turf is 25%, but it looks ready to go to 40% after the 1 1/4 miles on the Santa Anita lawn. For my money, Mezzo Soprano, Musical Chimes, and Islington will fight out the finish.
Trainer Bobby Frankel ran one-two in the Filly & Mare Turf (gr. IT) at Arlington last year and he looks to have a solid chance to do it again at Santa Anita. At Arlington Park, Starine raced home in the trainer's colors to beat Banks Hill by 1 1/2 lengths. Juddmonte Farms' Banks Hill had won the Filly & Mare Turf the previous year for French-based trainer Andre Fabre. Frankel has three possibles for the Filly & Mare Turf this year in the Juddmonte pair Tates Creek and Heat Haze, as well as Michael Bello's Megahertz. Heat Haze, a 4-year-old homebred daughter of Green Desert, would have been the choice of the trio prior to Sept. 27, but she could finish only third to Irish-trained Dimitrova in Belmont Park's Flower Bowl Handicap (gr. IT) that afternoon. The following day 5-year-old Tates Creek, a homebred by Rahy, scored impres sively in Santa Anita's Yellow Ribbon Invitational (gr. IT) over Sheikh Maktoum's Fabre-trained Musical Chimes. Megahertz hasn't raced since winning in late July at Del Mar. The Euros look to have a strong say in the Filly & Mare Turf this year although only Banks Hill has clicked for them in the previous four runnings. Dimitrova, trained at the Curragh by Dermot Weld, is coming off a win in the Flower Bowl Invitational Stakes (gr. I) at Belmont Park, while Godolphin's Mezzo Soprano established her credentials with a narrow win over Yesterday in the Prix Vermeille Fouquet's Barriere (Fr-I). Yesterday came back to finish second in the Prix de l'Opera Casino Barriere d'Enghien les Bains (Fr-I), a neck before Bright Sky in a blanket finish, and both are likely Filly & Mare Turf runners. Yesterday and Darley Irish Oaks (Ire-I) second L'Ancresse come from Aidan O'Brien's potent Ballydoyle yard, while Bright Sky is trained in France by Elie Lellouche. Another Euro with strong claims, and who topped the final Filly & Mare Turf World Thoroughbred Rankings, issued Oct. 6, is Islington, trained at Newmarket by Michael Stoute. Islington finished third in the Filly & Mare Turf last year, beaten less than two lengths. The daughter of Sadler's Wells, owned by the Executors of the late Lord Weinstock, won the Aston Upthorpe Yorkshire Oaks (Eng-I) in August and has faced males in her other three starts this year, most recently finishing third, beaten a neck, in the Ireland The Food Island Champion Stakes (Ire-I). She was accorded 120 pounds in the rankings, one pound better than Tates Creek. Trainer Christophe Clement has Voodoo Dancer, who was ranked at 117 pounds in the World Thoroughbred Rankings, in the Filly & Mare Turf. Voodoo Dancer, owned by Green Hills Farm, upset Heat Haze in Saratoga's Diana Handicap (gr. IT) in July, and a month earlier had lowered the colors of the Megahertz in the Beverly Hills Handicap (gr. IIT). Voodoo Dancer is a daughter of Kingmambo.
