Armed police clear Paris hotel and underground station near Eiffel Tower
HEAVILY armed police swooped on a hotel and Metro station near the Eiffel Tower in the wake of the terrorists attacks in Paris.
A room-to-room search is being conducted at the Pullman Hotel in Avenue de Suffren in Paris' 15th district.
It was initially thought the police were searching for accomplices to the horrifying attacks on Friday, but it turned out that a bomb report was made.
The Champs de Mars underground station in central Paris was also closed by police, according to a station announcer, while the Eiffel Tower area and Champ de Mars park were evacuated.
One witness with a view of the hotel said there were "dozens of cops with automatic weapons taking cover and training their weapons on the Pullman hotel".
Other witnesses confirmed the presence of heavily armed police at the site of the hotel.
The police later lifted the cordon keeping people out of the hotel.
It has been confirmed by France's Interior Ministry that the call was a false alarm, but went on for long enough for panic to spread through the streets, with some people seen crying with worry.
A spokesman for the Accor hotel chain also said it was a false bomb alert.
On Friday night, 129 people were killed and 352 injured by ISIS terrorist attacks in six separate locations in Paris.
A British national has been confirmed among the dead after the worst violence in France since the Second World War.

Lessons their kids will learn from 9/11
In the crowds inching along Broadway by St. Paul's Chapel, were parents pushing strollers with only a vague idea of what they would tell their children about this day.
Vanessa Smolen, 36, a Tequesta, Fla. firefighter pushed her 3-month-old daughter Mia. She said her station house has a monument to the firefighters killed on 9/11. It includes a piece of the World Trade Center.
"I'll try to teach her about what happened," she said, but was speechless when asked what she would say if Mia asked why it happened. "It's something that can't be explained," she said.
Joshua Baron, 38, of Manhattan, pushed a stroller holding his daughter, Marigold. He had been out of town on 9/11. "I came back the day after. I can still remember the smell of the dust."
"I'll tell her about what we New Yorkers went through."
I'll use it as an opportunity to teach her about intolerance and hatred."

Value Driver Considerations in Appraising Sports Franchises
The valuation of sports properties is often perceived as one of the most exciting areas of the appraisal profession. Sports business mandates constitute an amalgam of traditional valuation approaches applied to a specialized industry niche possessing its own distinct value drivers and considerations.
Sports property valuations may be required in a variety of situations, including:
- mergers and acquisitions;
- fairness opinions;
- business reorganizations;
- shareholder disputes;
- structuring shareholder agreements;
- income tax;
- estate planning;
- insolvency;
- commercial litigation; and
- marital disputes.
While the purchase and sale of professional sports franchises and arenas constitute the most visible event necessitating the participation of an experienced valuator, the foregoing situations also can give rise to valuation mandates. For example, in 1994, the Toronto Maple Leafs NHL franchise and the arena in which the team played, Maple Leaf Gardens, were owned by a public company, Maple Leaf Gardens, Limited, which was being taken private. Consequently, the fairness opinions that had been prepared in connection with this going-private transaction were called into question by The Public Guardian and Trustee of Ontario and the Attorney General for Ontario. A vigorous litigation ensued, in which the valuation professionals played a central role.
As is the case with many businesses, shareholder agreements can necessitate valuation mandates, as sports teams and arenas are often owned by numerous individuals and/or corporations. For example, at the date this was written, the Calgary Flames NHL franchise was held by over two dozen owners, and the Green Bay Packers NFL team was owned by several thousand individuals, most of whom were members of the local Wisconsin community.
Both friendly transactions and acrimonious disputes among shareholders occurring under such shareholder agreements will typically require the involvement of one or more valuation professionals to determine the value of the entity holding the sports-related assets (or interests therein).
Income tax and estate planning also constitute frequent sources of valuation work involving sports organizations. Those sports properties that have been owned by families will often, at some point, require valuations to be performed for intergenerational transfers of ownership among family members. Moreover, considering the significant appreciation in value experienced by professional sports franchises around the globe during the past few decades, owners of sports properties eventually may need to contend with capital gains-related issues. Valuation professionals often provide integral assistance in this process.
Insolvency or restructuring involving either a professional sports organization or one of the owners thereof is another event that will frequently necessitate the expertise of business valuators. For example, in the 1990s, there were several high-profile bankruptcies of English Premier League football (i.e., soccer) organizations that occurred after several previous rounds of financing had been obtained. At every step of the way, from the initial financing to the restructuring or asset liquidation process, business valuations are typically required to provide an indication of worth of the sports franchise and related properties.
Price Versus Fair Market Value
The valuation of professional sports properties provides an excellent illustration of the difference between price and fair market value in a "real world" setting. As valuation professionals are well aware, there are generally two distinct sets of circumstances where the value of a business is determined:
Notional Market Valuation. Fair market value, fair value or some other legislated or defined value is often notionally determined in the absence of an open-market transaction. The value standard most frequently applied in notional market valuations is "fair market value." The generally accepted definition of this valuation term by North American courts is:
The (highest)1 price, expressed in terms of cash equivalents, at which property would change hands between a hypothetical willing and able buyer and a hypothetical willing and able seller, acting at arm's length in an open and unrestricted market, when neither is under compulsion to buy or sell and when both have reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts.
Open-Market Transaction. Price is negotiated between a vendor and a purchaser acting at arm's length. The term "price" is defined as "the consideration paid in a negotiated, open-market transaction involving the purchase and sale of an asset."
In a sports market context, sentimental value may occasionally represent a component of price. This concept is evidenced by a sports team owner who is an extremely wealthy individual and does not view the acquisition of a sports team from an economic perspective but rather as a "trophy." An investment involving sentimental value, in other words, may be ego-driven in nature and made by a purchaser who is willing and able to absorb significant losses.
Special interest purchasers are often present in the marketplace for professional sports properties. Special interest purchasers are generally defined as: "acquirers who believe they can enjoy post-acquisition economies of scale, synergies, or strategic advantages by combining the acquired business interest with their own." Examples of these types of purchasers are large companies possessing broadcasting, media and entertainment operations that can avail themselves of synergies presented by controlling assets relating to professional sports organizations. In recent years, a number of such companies have successfully acquired professional sports properties in order to benefit from the content provided to the purchaser's media distribution network.
In the sports business world, both of the above sets of circumstances are frequently encountered. As is illustrated below, there may be significant differences between fair market value and price. For example, fair market value typically assumes the following conditions exist:
- equal knowledge and negotiating skills;
- no compulsion to transact;
- generally no special interest purchaser considerations;
- imprudent actions and emotions are not considered;
- vendor and purchaser are assumed to deal at arm's length; and
- transaction is assumed to be consummated for cash.
In contrast, the price determined in an open-market transaction may be influenced by the following considerations:
- unequal knowledge and negotiating skills;
- compulsion to transact may be present (e.g., a sale made in an insolvency setting even if the purchaser intends to continue the sports organization as a going concern);
- special interest purchasers may force the price upward;
- price may be struck as a result of imprudent decisions by the vendor, the purchaser or both;
- sentimental value considerations may force the price upward;
- outwardly, vendor and purchaser may appear to act at arm's length, but may have common interests due to the elements of the transaction, such as vendor employment agreements, noncompetition agreements, etc.; and/or
- the negotiated price may contain noncash elements, such as contingent "earn-out" or bonus payments, freely trading or restricted shares and/or debt instruments.
Valuation Approaches
As is the case with most businesses, a sports franchise's value is derived from its future benefits, such as revenues, EBITDA and net cash flow. Among the factors influencing the perceived future benefits for a sports franchise include its management team, trademarks, brands and logos, customer "fan base" relations, customer contracts (e.g., season tickets, corporate boxes, personal seat licenses), player relations and contracts, broadcasting contracts, arena ownership or lease agreements, team-alliance synergies, local demographics (e.g., population size, wealth, popularity of sport), etc.
Simply put, the fundamental goal for a sports team owner is to maximize the number of fans in the seats (or viewing the matches via broadcast media), and the goal for an arena/ stadium owner is to minimize the number of "dark nights" in which no event is occurring in the building.
Admittedly, while future benefits often cannot be measured with absolute certainty, franchise values will change in a manner commensurate with perceived increases and decreases in such benefits. In the sports business world, while no single approach or formula can be used to determine the value of sports properties in every situation, different approaches and methods have been adopted for estimating future benefits and franchise/asset values.
In sports business valuations, the Market Approach is often frequently utilized, considering the active market that exists for many professional sports properties. In the Market Approach, the subject sports property is compared to similar properties by performing a detailed analysis of prior transactions involving similar sports properties and/or in the ownership of the subject sports franchise or asset.
Transactional Issues
In analyzing transactions in sports properties, aside from reviewing the amount and structure of the transaction price, it is frequently necessary for the valuation professional to identify and quantify key organizational elements that generate value for the subject professional sports club, such as (but not limited to) management team and personnel, corporate operations, finance and technology.
It is a sports business paradigm that the management team should, in maximizing franchise value, maintain and enhance the quality of the team brand. Such brand value enhancement may be performed in a variety of ways, including winning on-field victories and championships, attracting individual "marquee" players, fostering positive community relations and developing a robust tradition ultimately bestowing "iconic" status on the sports franchise.
For example, the valuator should examine the quality of the management team, employees and players, focusing on the club's ability to retain talent and expertise (on the field, among the coaching staff and in the front office). In order to enhance value, the sports organization should possess the potential to develop future leaders (for both players and management), avoid labor actions (e.g., strikes, lockouts), motivate commitment in its players and employees to the club's culture and ethics, and strengthen relationships among management, players and employees.
In assessing value of sports franchises in a transactional setting, the valuation professional should also examine the ability of the organization to maximize the potential of its corporate operations. For example, the franchise organization should constantly strive to improve capacity utilization wherever possible (e.g., selling out games, maximizing advertising and media revenue). Recent revenue maximization trends by franchise owners in this context have included selling advertising on fixed or rotating panels in close proximity to playing surfaces, inside arena corridors, on building exteriors and on game tickets. Sports team management should also be seeking to optimize other areas of business potential (e.g., creation of team-alliance synergies, increase in the number of official sponsors or partners with the club, etc.).
Moreover, the sports organization should periodically assess what investments are required to expand or improve fixed-asset infrastructure (e.g., addition of seats, creation of premium or "club" seat categories, addition or expansion of facility restaurant, bar, concessions and parking facilities). Management should also be cognizant of ways to strengthen the franchise's market position in the presence of other forms of entertainment competing for the same consumer, media and advertising spending sources.
The valuation professional must examine the ability of the sports organization to maximize the value of its intangible assets. Aside from traditional items such as the franchise logo, influencing the popularity of merchandising and licensing revenues, in recent years, savvy sports-marketing experts have derived new sources for professional sports franchises to obtain revenues, notably the leasing of stadium/arena naming rights. Typically, building naming rights are leased for several million dollars annually for terms of 10 to 20 years; these stable revenues often flow directly to the bottom line of the club/building owner.
Furthermore, in transactional contexts involving professional sports organizations, the valuation professional should assess the financial strength of the subject business. In particular, the valuator needs to place particular emphasis on the extent to which leverage has been (or may be) utilized to finance capital assets and franchise operations. Other financial issues should be reviewed, including the club's ability to recognize and maximize all revenues (i.e., deferred revenues) from an accounting standpoint and to depreciate or amortize the franchise itself, player contracts, capital assets, etc. If the franchise is being positioned for sale, it may be desirable for the club to "clean up" the balance sheet, (e.g., eliminate redundant assets such as excess cash, marketable securities, non-operating real estate, inter-company or shareholder loans), adjust overvalued assets and other reserves in order to present the sports business' true earning power, accelerate the collection of accounts receivable, etc.
Finally, sports business valuation experts have increasingly focused on a franchise's ability to enhance value through the creative use of technology. In recent years, technology has been utilized by sports team owners through innovations such as the use of web-based resources featuring fan club sites and live or archived game broadcasts. Many sports business experts predict a proliferation of fee-based broadcasts of matches and related content through television, Internet audio and video, as well as mobile phone media. Other uses of technology that may create franchise value relate to the extent to which technology can be implemented to improve communications (e.g., within the internal organization, with the fan base and among the league and its members).
Value Drivers
Both of the concepts of price and fair market value are often influenced by numerous value drivers that relate specifically to professional sports franchises. Among the frequently encountered examples of "external" value drivers (over which a franchise owner exerts little, if any influence) are included, but are by no means restricted to:
- degree of control of franchise operations by league;
- finite number of teams permitted in league (i.e., barriers to or ease of entry through expansion);
- franchise expansion fee (this often constitutes a "floor" to franchise value, as well as a windfall profit to franchise owners when received). For example, in the NHL, the most recent expansion fee paid for a new franchise, occurring 15 years prior to the publication of this paper, was U.S. $85 million. Media reports have stated that the next potential round of NHL expansion could command franchise fees as high as U.S. $400 million;
- extent and terms of revenue sharing;
- presence of salary cap;
- local market barriers to ownership entry/exit;
- availability of government grants or other forms of financial assistance;
- market demographics;
- market radius protection (in the NHL, each franchise is protected by a 50-mile radius, within which another franchise in the league cannot be operated without the existing owner's permission);
- ability of the franchise to relocate; and
- extent to which league approval is required for franchise ownership transactions.
Moreover, included among the various salient "internal" value drivers over which a franchise owner typically possesses some ability to influence are:
- ticket revenue (e.g., season ticket base, ability to increase or vary ticket prices);
- broadcast revenue (e.g., from television, radio and Internet media);
- team-alliance synergies (i.e., synergies and benefits derived from common ownership of two or more sports teams);
- player-transfer fees (i.e., these represent highly lucrative sources of revenue in international soccer);
- advertising revenue;
- playoff revenue (revenues from post-season play often contribute significantly to profits);
- concessions revenue;
- merchandising and memorabilia revenue (including revenues from licensing team name and logo); and
- stadium/arena ownership revenues (derived from building sources such as luxury "club" seating, corporate boxes, naming rights and ancillary events such as concerts, unrelated sporting events, conventions, etc.).
Interestingly, two factors that do not always constitute significant value drivers for a sports franchise are the win-loss record of the club, as well as the individual players comprising the team. The impact of possessing (or lacking) either championship trophies or superstar players must be assessed by the valuation professional as to the incremental contribution of each to the value of a particular sports organization.
Among the important items on the expense side of the income statement that may materially impact the value of a professional sports franchise are included player salaries, which are, in turn, influenced by permitted contractual increases, free agency, union collective bargaining agreements, long-term injuries to or retirements of players, etc.
Franchise owners who do not own the stadium/arena facility will also be subject to leases for building rental, as well as possibly leases for concessions, merchandising and/or parking facilities. Moreover, some teams, such as Canadian NHL franchises, must contend with material foreign currency risk, as their revenues will be received in the local currency while some of their expenses (e.g., player salaries) may be denominated in a foreign currency. Finally, the ability of a sports club to claim amortization expense on its franchise cost, player contracts and capital assets will impact its fiscal situation, as well as its operating cash flows.
While the sports business field may be a source of some exciting mandates for the valuation practitioner, as the above narrative indicates, sports properties encompass a highly specialized segment of our profession that is subject to its own distinct challenges.

Rett Syndrome and related genes
Project LeaderDr Nicole van Bergen
E: email@example.com
Project Details
We are assessing gene alterations (mutations) that occur in the genes linked to Rett syndrome. At present three genes are known to be involved. The names of these genes are MECP2, CDKL5 and FOXG1, with most (but not all) cases of Rett syndrome arising from mutations within the MECP2 gene. Increasingly, we suspect that other genes are also sometimes involved in cases where a mutation has not been found by the genetic diagnostic laboratory that did the testing, and recent developments in DNA sequencing technology may allow us to discover new genes not previously associated with Rett syndrome. One problem that we sometimes encounter when we find an alteration in one of these genes is that it is not possible to conclude whether the alteration is responsible for the occurrence of Rett syndrome or, in fact, is simply a rare variation within the gene that does not disturb the normal function of the gene.
As our understanding of the biology of Rett syndrome improves, new potential therapies may be identified. By using tissue samples, specifically cultured cells established from a skin biopsy, we hope to be able to evaluate the potential usefulness of these new therapies.
Using a method called induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS) technology, we can activate specific genes, called transcription factors, which are able to switch cultured skin cells to muscle, nerve or liver cells. We want to test whether turning skin cells into different cell types relevant to Rett syndrome will allow us to better study the consequences of mistakes identified in these Rett syndrome genes.
There are still no biochemical markers of Rett syndrome. We plan to subject blood and urine samples to high throughput screening techniques in the hope that we may identify protein or other chemical markers of Rett syndrome. Such biomarkers may have the potential to be used as an early screening test for Rett syndrome.

As you'll recall, there was a really nice book about Windows Vista and explored all of the features in the desktop operating system. Wouldn't it be nice if such a book existed for Windows Server 2008? Your wish is my command.
Unfortunately the title of the book isn't near as sexy as "The Book of Longhorn". Instead the real book is called, "Changes in Functionality from Windows Server 2003 with SP1 to Windows Server 2008". Got that? ZZZzzzzzzzzz.
The Book of Longhorn (grin) is over 300 pages of goodness. Be nice to your printer. In fact, make sure you either print on a duplex printer (both sides of the paper) or spend a couple of bucks to get it printed at the local professional printing shoppe.

Ann Coulter
Jump to
Simultaneously revered and reviled, Ann Coulter built a reputation as one of America's most ruthless and extreme right wing commentators. Born Dec. 8, 1961 in New York City, Ann Hart Coulter earned a bachelor's in history from Cornell University and a law degree from the University of Michigan Law School, which she put to use working for the right wing NYC law firm Center for Individual Rights. Coulter achieved fame, however, as an extreme conservative columnist, author and speaker whose sharp tongue spared none of her supposed political enemies. Proudly controversial and aggressively combative, Coulter wrote a string of best-selling, polarizing books, including 2002's Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right, 2003's Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism, 2004's How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must): The World According to Ann Coulter, 2006's Godless: The Church of Liberalism, 2007's If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans and 2011's Demonic: How the Liberal Mob is Endangering America. Although some of her critics wondered if Coulter was an opportunist merely playing the part of an increasingly outrageous provocateur, Coulter stood by all of her statements - often on her friend Bill Maher's show "Real Time with Bill Maher" (HBO, 2003- ) - no matter how shocking, including calling John Edwards a "faggot," Barack Obama a "retard" and saying women should be stripped of their right to vote. Too extreme for some of her fellow conservative pundits, Coulter never failed to stir up her audiences.

Soon, it will be time to put away the shorts and pool toys, and prepare for a few months of chilly weather. Come Sept. 22, fall will have officially arrived, and your air conditioner will get no use until May 2014, at the earliest.
Just like you have to prepare your pool for fall and winter or pack away summer clothes, you'll have to do some preparations to ensure your air conditioner makes it through the fall and winter. Before fall fully hits the Minneapolis, Saint Paul and Edina areas, have your air conditioner ready for hibernation. Here's what the Aabbott Ferraro team recommends:
Have all necessary service taken care of
Have you been putting off professional air conditioning maintenance and service in Shoreview? Before the first frost strikes, make sure your system has been fully serviced. The last thing you want to happen is to need the system in May, but it doesn't work due to a pre-existing issue. Plus, the problem could worsen by next year, which usually ends up costing you more money for repairs.
Keep the outside unit clean
Your outside air conditioner unit can become inundated with animal droppings, dead bugs, dirt, dust and other contaminants. You don't want these to become permanently affixed to your air conditioner, so take the time to clean out the outside unit, before the cold strikes and these have frozen themselves to important components.
Cover up the outside unit
Since you won't be using your air conditioning system, there's no sense in letting the outside unit be exposed to falling branches, snow and other elements. Cover it up with a plastic or vinyl cover, but make sure whatever you choose is waterproof and can fit fully over the entire unit. Make sure to wrap vinyl ropes or bungee cords over the cover to ensure it stays secure.
You may need help prepping your air conditioner for the fall. Aabbott Ferraro can give you the assistance you need. Call us today at (651) 776-7214 or Schedule an Appointment.

Comments about John O'Brien
Lorna Wollaston
When I had the pleasure of visiting Melbourne for 3 months in 1969, I came across a book called 'Aussie English' by our John O'Brien. I copied 'Bloody' directly out of the book but the version you have here differs somewhat. I never could get a copy of the book as I had to come home to the U.S. By the way, I love it!
The Meeting
They hadn't met for fifty years, or was it fifty-one ?
They'd parted when their ship arrived their separate ways to run.
The old Baptismal Register back home in County Clare
Held both their names in faded ink, the same day written there.
Together in the parish school they conned the ABC,
Together, too, they went along to join the seminary.
Together in their long white albs with new-anointed hands
They took the yoke and sailed away to work in foreign lands;
Nor did they meet again

Restoration of Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulchre Expected to Be Complete In Time for Easter
One of the most cherished sites in Jerusalem's Old City is the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Many believe it marks the place where Jesus Christ was buried and rose from the dead. CBN News got a rare behind-the-scenes look at a long overdue restoration of the church's interior.
It's called the aedicule – a structure built over what many believe is the burial place of Jesus. After years of neglect, it's getting a face lift.
"The holy rock is preserved; this is the great result of this project," Prof. Antonia Moropoulou, who oversees the renovation, told CBN News.
"Of course now we are going with bolts and anchors, titanium anchors, to readjust the marble slabs upon some mortar and concrete," she explained. "That means we are going to ensure the structural integrity through this intervention."
National Geographic first documented the restoration last year for a television special.
When the renovation team removed a marble slab that had been there for more than 200 years, they found a slab from the time of the Crusaders. Underneath that they found a tomb from the first century that many believe was the tomb of Jesus.
While many consider the Church of the Holy Sepulcher the site where Jesus was buried and rose again, others believe the resurrection took place at the Garden Tomb not far away. Whichever site is authentic, the work is preserving the church for years to come.
"We had, of course, to open the holy tomb in order to insulate it from the grout and to protect it," Moropoulou explained.
"Yes, this number is S-3, E-14; that means S-3, E-14 – this, from this place of the monument," conservator Theodoros Mavridis said.
The restoration is like putting a puzzle together. Mavridis explained how they reconstruct the marble slabs surrounding the aedicule.
"We open holes. We put titanium rods between the two pieces, okay. We are putting the adhesive on the surface inside," he continued. "We're just joining the pieces together like this, okay. And then, we have to put the piece vertically so that the weight of the above to give the pressure and the stability to put the pieces together in a perfect position."
For those working on the project, it's not a job but a joy.

Why Are So Few Black People Using Bitcoin?
Excellent question - and the purpose of this site.
I'm featured in this
from the esteemed
The Atlantic
, which endeavors to find out why.
"Can you imagine what it would have been like to own a piece of email technology in 1994?" asks Jackson, who believes the currency is still very much in its early adoption phase. "That's what Bitcoin is like right now, and it's only getting bigger."

To be positioned between Endeavour & EcoSport, the new Ford Kuga SUV will rival against Hyundai Tucson and Mahindra XUV500.
After launching the Figo Aspire & New Endeavour, Ford is now planning to launch the updated EcoSport in India in 2017. The company is also aiming to expant its product portfolio in India and the next big model from the American automaker could be the Ford Kuga. Ford had imported the Kuga SUV in December 2015 for R&D purpose, and now the vehicle has been spotted testing on Indian roads. The new Ford Kuga India will be positioned between the EcoSport and the Endeavour.
The new Kuga will rival against the likes of the Hyundai Tucson, Mahindra XUV500 and the top-end variants of Creta & Renault Duster. Internationally, the SUV is available with three engines – 1.5-litre TDCi and 2.0L TDCi diesel and 1.5L EcoBoost petrol. In India, the vehicle could be offered with a 2.0L diesel and 1.5L petrol engines.
|Rs 12 lakh
|Rs 18 lakh
The Kuga could be the right product for Ford to fill the void between the EcoSport and the Endeavour. Likely to be launched as an Urban premium SUV, the SUV could be priced in the range of Rs 12 lakh to Rs 18 lakh. Read More – 2016 Ford Endeavour Price, Specs & Other Details
The premium SUV is currently on testing phase in India. We expect this model to be launched in India in 2017 or 2018. We will update you as soon as Ford announces anything on this.
|2.0L TDCi
|1.5L EcoBoost
|6-speed MT
|6-speed Automatic or 6-speed MT
The Ford Kuga compact SUV will be offered with two engine options – 2.0-litre TDCi diesel and a 1.5-litre EcoBoost engine. This Duratorq engine is capable of producing 147bhp of power and 370Nm of torque. It is also available in a more powerful tune which churns out 177bhp of power and 400Nm of torque. Both front wheel and all-wheel-drive versions could be on offer. Read More – New Ford EcoSport Compact SUV Unveiled
Talking about petrol version, the 1.5L EcoBoost engine churns out a maximum power output of 179bhp and a peak torque of 177Nm. Transmission options are likely to include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed SelectShift automatic.
The new Kuga gets signature Ford fascia which we have already seen on the new Endeavour SUV. It comes equipped with the prominent hexagonal chrome grille, flanked by sweptback headlamps. The prominent bumper accommodates a wider mesh air-dam and fog lamps on either side with mesh surrounds. The large alloy wheels, chunky bonnet and the quarter glass pane after the C-pillar gives the side profile a much-needed sporty character. The rear looks sporty, thanks to shorter rear glass and muscular bumper.
Inside the cabin, the vehicle gets all-black theme that looks premium. The company's kinetic design language is clearly visible in the dashboard layout. The centre console features a large touchscreen infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, GPS navigation and SYNC 3. Talking about features, the new Kuga gets dual-zone climate control, push-button start, multi-functional steering wheel, rear AC vents, rear parking camera & sensors, 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, brake assist, etc.

Sony Pictures Entertainment Brings Marvel Studios Into The Amazing World Of Spider-Man
(Culver City, California, and Burbank, California February 09, 2015) – Sony Pictures Entertainment and Marvel Studios announced today that Sony is bringing Marvel into the amazing world of Spider-Man.
Under the deal, the new Spider-Man will first appear in a Marvel film from Marvel's Cinematic Universe (MCU). Sony Pictures will thereafter release the next installment of its $4 billion Spider-Man franchise, on July 28, 2017, in a film that will be co-produced by Kevin Feige and his expert team at Marvel and Amy Pascal, who oversaw the franchise launch for the studio 13 years ago. Together, they will collaborate on a new creative direction for the web slinger. Sony Pictures will continue to finance, distribute, own and have final creative control of the Spider-Man films.
Marvel and Sony Pictures are also exploring opportunities to integrate characters from the MCU into future Spider-Man films.
The new relationship follows a decade of speculation among fans about whether Spider-Man – who has always been an integral and important part of the larger Marvel Universe in the comic books – could become part of the Marvel Universe on the big screen. Spider-Man has more than 50 years of history in Marvel's world, and with this deal, fans will be able to experience Spider-Man taking his rightful place among other Super Heroes in the MCU.
Bob Iger, Chairman and CEO, The Walt Disney Company said: "Spider-Man is one of Marvel's great characters, beloved around the world. We're thrilled to work with Sony Pictures to bring the iconic web-slinger into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which opens up fantastic new opportunities for storytelling and franchise building."
"We always want to collaborate with the best and most successful filmmakers to grow our franchises and develop our characters. Marvel, Kevin Feige and Amy, who helped orchestrate this deal, are the perfect team to help produce the next chapter of Spider-Man," said Michael Lynton, Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment. "This is the right decision for the franchise, for our business, for Marvel, and for the fans."
"Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios share a love for the characters in the Spider-Man universe and have a long, successful history of working together. This new level of collaboration is the perfect way to take Peter Parker's story into the future," added Doug Belgrad, president, Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group.
"I am thrilled to team with my friends at Sony Pictures along with Amy Pascal to produce the next Spider-Man movie," said Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige. "Amy has been deeply involved in the realization on film of one of the world's most beloved characters. Marvel's involvement will hopefully deliver the creative continuity and authenticity that fans demand from the MCU. I am equally excited for the opportunity to have Spider-Man appear in the MCU, something which both we at Marvel, and fans alike, have been looking forward to for years."
Spider-Man, embraced all over the world, is the most successful franchise in the history of Sony Pictures, with the five films having taken in more than $4 billion worldwide.
1,700 RadioShack stores closing soon, some liquidating stock at 50% off
In a new court filing Monday, RadioShack has formally announced the 1,784 stores that it will be closing between now and the end of March 2015.
They include stores nationwide, from Warwick, Rhode Island, to Redondo Beach, California—it's likely that most are currently offering going-out-of-business sales.
A manager at a store in Fresno, California, told Ars that the store would be closing on February 15 and that everything in the store is currently 50 percent off. Ars has confirmed similar closing dates and discounts at other locations in Henderson, Nevada, and Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The company, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection earlier this month, did not respond to Ars' inquiry as to why these particular stores were selected.
Bankruptcy protection wouldn't necessarily mean that RadioShack intends to go out of business. Rather, it means that RadioShack will be given a certain period of time to rebuild itself and shield itself from creditors. In a similar situation from September 2013, a smaller Kodak emerged from bankruptcy.
iOS 9 reportedly to focus on stability more than new features
Following Apple's misadventures with iOS 8, this year's update to the mobile operating system will center more on stability and performance improvements, says 9to5Mac.
Apple may use iOS 9 to add greater stability and performance enhancements to its mobile operating system.
Expected to be unveiled at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June, iOS 9 will come packed with a number of "under-the-hood" improvements, according to 9to5Mac, which cited info from anonymous sources. A "huge" focus reportedly will be more on squashing bugs, ensuring stability and tweaking performance rather than just throwing in a bunch of new features.
Assuming the report is true, it would be a welcome change from the usual strategy of just cooking up a host of new features. Apple bumped into a slew of technical troubles with iOS 8, released in September, that frustrated users and forced the company to keep issuing one update after another over the course of just a few months — from iOS 8.0 to 8.1.3. The pace of iOS 8 adoption has been slower than that of iOS 7, possibly because of all the bugs and frequent updates. So the time may be ripe for Apple to pull back and roll out a more stable and bulletproof OS to address the complaints with iOS 8.
The first Ubuntu phone will finally go on sale next week
At long last, the first Ubuntu phone is coming to market. Over the next few weeks, the Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition will be available in Europe, priced at €170 (about $190) through a series of online flash sales. It won't be directly available in the US. As the pricing implies, the Aquaris is sadly nothing like the fabled Ubuntu Edge; rather, it's just a mid-range Android phone that has been adapted to run Ubuntu.
The Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition has a 4.5-inch 960×540 display, a Mediatek SoC (quad-core 1.3GHz Cortex A7 CPU, unknown GPU), 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of on-board NAND storage. Storage is expandable through a microSD slot, and it has two SIM card slots (which isn't unusual in non-US markets). The only real hardware highlight is a 5-megapixel front-facing camera—but again, don't forget that this is a very cheap phone.

Listener Feedback & Items of Note:
glad to hear you're back from your break. Some items from the last show. Your comment that you think Samsung will stop making smart phones. That is truly one of the more ridiculous predictions. Kind of like — Apple will stop making iPads. Samsung is shipping over 300 million smart phones a quarter. That is over a BILLION phones a year. Just because Apple posted a ridiculous quarter and are making huge margins, doesn't by any means mean that everyone else should get out. Samsung by any other comparison is killing it in the smart phone business. They're margins are slimmer, but the number of units they're selling is ridiculous. Why would they stop, they don't sell a BILLION of anything else. They do make a lot of tech, smart phones are by far their biggest margin business. I actually waited it out on Verizon and bought the Note Edge, and love it. The edge is really a useful addition, there are a number of nice tweaks that make use of the side screen, and obviously it's a Note, so I was using the pen during my last company meeting.

"My teaching philosophy is based on my experiences as an undergraduate and graduate student, as an artist, and as a teacher. My main objectives are that the students gain fundamental skills and knowledge so that they may become adept at critical thinking and achieve the ability to evaluate quality. My role as the teacher is to ensure that fundamental information is presented in an enjoyable way so that students will learn and to create opportunities for the growth of critical thinking. My role is to teach the evaluation of art through applications of history, style, technical skill, and the analysis of formal content and conceptual intent. The students' role is to take responsibility for learning the necessary processes, methods, and materials which are then applied with their creativity and expression to their art. Additionally, they must apply their education to the evaluation of their and other's art works. After reading a recent article in The Chronicle of Higher Education, it seems evident that there is a current trend to provide a broad spectrum of knowledge without regard for a hierarchy. Currently, there are classes that equate self expression to an understanding of design principles and color theory. I strongly feel that this trend is in error and that students are best served through a course of education that places fundamental skills and theory at the beginning of their education. Then, as advanced students, they will have the skills and knowledge that will allow them to be fully expressive.
The creation of art can be a difficult process that requires substantial problem-solving skills. As a successful professional artist, I have many years of experience to share with my students. My class projects are designed to teach technical knowledge, visual vocabulary, and conceptual understanding. These projects are designed to allow students to gain an understanding of materials and techniques that can then be applied to and built upon in later assignments.
I am able to gauge my effectiveness by the success of students who can competently discuss visual and conceptual topics and by their ability to work on technically-demanding applications without constant supervision. Problem-solving skills are evident when students can professionally present proposals and create works within a budget. I find that studio teaching allows for constant and dynamic communication between the teacher and student. This communication is very helpful when gauging students through verbal critiques. These critiques are held with the entire class after every project.
Currently, I am very active in pursuing commissions for public art works. It has been my great pleasure to complete several works on a variety of sites and to have worked with many different committees. The input and exchange gained by working with committees made up of business and community leaders, local artists, and interested citizens has been very enjoyable and I have found them valuable."
-Marc Moulton

Bandra resident's death a mishap, friends were not involved, say cops
The Vasai Government Railway Police (GRP) has confirmed that Bandra resident Steven Quadros (20) died after being hit by a local train. Reportedly, Quadros was drunk at the time. His family had accused four of his friends of having killed him after a fight.
Quadros worked as a trainee operator with a Dubai-based oil rig. PI P S Bhangare, Vasai GRP, said Quadros' family had alleged that his friends - Tanvi Sharma, Charlene Fernandes, Reece Valladares and Allwyn Jude-killed him.
"After primary investigation, we were sure that it was an accident but the family of the deceased was mounting undue pressure on us. We co-operated with them and agreed for second post mortem. We even interrogated his friends who confirmed that Quadros had been drinking at a bar near the Vasai railway station. The waiter at the bar also confirmed the report," said Bhangare.
On the day of the incident, April 27, Allwyn and Charlene had a fight following which she left. Tanvi followed her to calm her down but Allwyn went on the tracks, where Reece and Quadros joined him later. Quadros, however, kept running on the tracks and did not stop, said Bhangare. "We are awaiting the second post mortem report and have let Quadros' friends off. We have recorded their statements, but they have been asked not to leave the city as of now. Two passengers who helped in shifting Quadros to hospital have also recorded their statements," added Bhangare.

In 1964, the administration at Eastern Kentucky University took a chance by hiring a young football coach to lead their program. EKU hired 33-year-old Roy Kidd, a former quarterback for the Colonels, and 2003 College Football Hall of Famer, to be the head coach. And it was one of the best decisions the university ever made.
"They offered me the job, and I was very excited," Kidd says. "My wife asked me what they were paying me, and I said I didn't know."
Kidd's first two seasons at the school were average, but in year three, he started to build the foundation for what would become a powerhouse.
"I put a little more discipline in the program," he says of one of the changes he made. "The players were there to get an education, so I made sure they did that. We were able to get a lot of good players, and that helped."
Kidd's team starting competing for the Ohio Valley Conference championship nearly every season, but had yet to become a regular competitor on the national level. That changed in 1978, when EKU went from Division II to Division I-AA.
"When we went to I-AA, we jumped from 38 or 40 scholarships to 70, so we were able to recruit more kids and more full scholarship kids, and that's when our program took off," he says.
And take off it did. EKU appeared in four straight NCAA Division I-AA Championship Games from 1979-82 under Kidd. The Colonels won national championships in 1979 and 1982. Kidd felt a sense of pride in the accomplishment, but he had also expected success in the program.
"When I took the job, I told my wife that we were going to win here," Kidd says. "I wanted alumni, administrators, athletic directors to be proud. We had good coaches and good players and that made all the difference."
Kidd would remain as EKU's head coach for 39 seasons. In his next-to-last season in 2001, Kidd reached a milestone that only 12 coaches in the history of college football have reached, winning 300 games. Kidd joined a list that included legends of the game like Bear Bryant, Pop Warner, and Amos Alonzo Stagg.
"It meant a lot for the program and the kids, it wasn't just me," he says of his milestone accomplishment. "It was for the university and the people around it. I remember some of the tough losses as much as the wins."
These days, Kidd still lives in the Richmond, Ky., community where EKU is located. And he gets to see a reminder of his coaching legacy each time he drives past Roy Kidd Stadium, the home of the Colonels' football program.
"That's a heck of an honor," he says of the stadium being named in his honor. "Every time I go by there and see my name, it makes me feel very good. To think that the university and Board of Regents thought enough of me to name a stadium after me while I was still coaching is something."
Kidd, now 83 years old, still enjoys going to EKU practices and games. "I go to all the home games," he says. "I still love the university and I'm here if the coaches ever need anything."
Kidd hopes that he taught his players not just about football, but about life. "Football is a lot like life," he says. "You're going to have your ups and downs. You're going to get knocked down, but you have to get back up."
