Cassandra Clare Quotes About BrothersQuotes about: Brothers
Jace's eyes sparkled, but he said calmly, "Not at all. the Silent Brothers can help her retrieve her memories." "You hate the Silent Brothers," protested Isabelle. "I don't hate them," said Jace candidly."I'm afraid of them. It's not the same thing." "I thought you said they were libarians," said Clary. "They are librarians." Simon whistled. "Those must be some killer late fees.
Traded him for Alec," Clary said. "Not permanently" "No," said Jace. "Just for a few hours. Unless I don't come back. In which case, maybe he does get to keep Alec. Think of it as a lease with an option to buy." "Mom and Dad won't be pleased if they find out." "That you freed a possible criminal by trading away your brother to a warlock who looks like a gay Sonic the Hedgehog and dresses like the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?" Simon inquired. "No, probably not.
We shouldn't," protested Isabelle. "The Clave has a plan." "The Clave has the collective intelligence of a pineapple," said Jace. Alec blinked up at them. "Jace is right." Isabelle turned on her brother. "What do you know? You weren't even paying attention." "I was," Alec said, injured. "I said Jace was right." "Yeah, but there's like a 90% chance of me being right most of the time, so that's not proof you were listening," said Jace. "That's just a good guess.
I could point out that that's not a dress, that's underwear, but I doubt it would be in my best interest." "Need I remind you," said Sebastian, "That that is my sister?" "Most brother's would be delighted to see such a clean-cut gentleman as myself squiring their sister's about town.
I like that stick of yours," he said. "It's a staff." Jem swung out to knock another automaton sideways. "Made by the Iron Sisters, only for Silent Brothers." [...] "Anyone can sharpen a stick." "It's a staff," Jem repeated, and saw Will's quicksilver smile out of the corner of his eye.
Being a Silent Brother is life, Clary Fray. But if you mean I remember my life before the Brotherhood, I do. Clary took a deep breath. "Were you ever in love? Before the Brotherhood? Was there ever anyone you would have died for?" There was a long silence. Then: Two people, said Brother Zachariah. There are memories that time does not erase, Clarissa. Ask your friend Magnus Bane, if you do not believe me. Forever does not make loss forgettable, only bearable.
And as for the Lightwoods," Simon said, "it's not that I like them that much. I mean, I like Isabelle, and I sort of like Alec and Jace, too. But there's this girl. And Jace is her brother." When Samuel replied, he sounded, for the first time genuinely amused. "Isn't there always a girl.
His eyes shone when he looked at her, green as spring grass. He has always had green eyes, said the voice in her head. People often marvel at how much alike you are, he and your mother and yourself. His name is Jonathan and he is your brother; he has always protected you. Somewhere in the back of Clary's mind she saw black eyes and whip marks, but she didn't know why. He's your brother. He's your brother, and he's always taken care of you.
We spoke of how to say good-bye," Jem said. "When Jonathan bid farewell to David, he said, 'Go in peace, for as much as we have sworn, both of us, saying the Lord be between me and thee, forever.' They did not see each other again, but they did not forget. So it will be with us. When I am Brother Zachariah, when I no longer see the world with my human eyes, I will still be in some part the Jem you knew, and I will see you with the eyes of my heart.
Indeed." Will let his cutlery clatter onto his plate. "The Consul? Breaking up our breakfast time? Whatever next? The Inquisitor over for tea? Picnics with the Silent Brothers?" "Duck pies in the park," said Jem under his breath, and he and Will smiled at each other, just a flash, before the door opened and the Consul swept it.

Auckland, New Zealand (PressExposure) March 06, 2009 -- Asthma is a common symptom which happens due to the inflammation in the main air passages of lungs and bronchial tubes. The most annoying aspect of asthma is its long term bad impact up on our airways and breathing system. So, defeatasthma.com has introduced an E-Book. It is quite impressive and effective as well because it suggests drug free asthma treatment solution.
Asthma attack directly attacks your airways which are thin small tubes, used to inhale and exhale air from the lungs. Intensity of attack may be mild and severe enough to take your life if it could not be controlled on time. There are varieties of names for asthmatic problems viz. wheezy bronchitis, asthmatic bronchitis, bronchial asthma and reactive airway disease (RAD). Most of them are caused by allergies of pollen, dust, and animal dander.
During asthmatic attack, surrounding muscles of airways tighten and produce mucus. It adversely leaves its impact upon immune system. Certain activities like running fast upstairs or carrying heavy loads also provoke asthmatic problem. Besides those, respiratory infection such as colds, flu, sore throats, and bronchitis are favorable condition for asthma. Sudden emotional stress excessive fear or excitement along with the medication like aspirin or drugs especially used into glaucoma and high blood pressure can make the asthmatic condition âdeadlyâ.
So, the premier online asthma curing website defeatasthma.com suggests that one should never neglect symptoms like daytime coughing, shortness of breath, night-time coughing, chest tightness, and wheezing. One must keep in its mind that frequent occurring of such symptoms may be the symbol of sever asthmatic problem and the person needs proper asthma medication.
Defeatasthma.com has always emphasized to avoid the chances or circumstances which could trigger the problem. Now as the problem has become so much common, we need effective home remedies and DefeatAsthma also support this point of view. For instance, one can take eight to ten cloves of boiled garlic in the half cup of tea or a tablespoon of honey with a half a tablespoon of cinnamon powder to prevent sudden asthma attack. Such remedies have no side affect. Probably, it is the most amusing aspect of home remedies.

Calcutta, Feb. 9: A few lakh Muslim children from economically backward families studying in over 3,000 unregistered primary madarsas across the state are being deprived of an opportunity to join mainstream education because of a state policy.
The Centre has offered assistance worth several crores to all states for development of unregistered madarsas. But Bengal has refused its share.
'Our policy on madarsa education involves only recognised institutions. How can we accept assistance from the Centre for institutions which are not covered by our policy' school education minister Kanti Biswas said.
Officials in his department said the state government has rejected the offer despite repeated reminders from the Centre ' the latest came last week ' to accept the grant.
At present, the state spends nearly Rs 125 crore a year for its 508 registered madarsas.
According to the central proposal, the funds may be used for setting up school buildings and other infrastructure, providing free textbooks to students, and for paying salary of Rs 2,000 each to teachers appointed temporarily to teach science and mathematics.
Sources in the education department say the state government's main fear is that these teachers might claim permanent jobs even if the Centre later wishes to stop the assistance in future. This would mean an additional financial burden on the state.
'The proposed funds will definitely be helpful in bringing a large number of children from underprivileged Muslim families under the mainstream education system. But we have to abide by our government's policy,' said Abdus Sattar, president of the madarsa board.
Sections of teachers and academicians associated with madarsa education are resentful of the state's decision.
'All other state governments, including Tripura and Kerala, have accepted the central assistance. There is no reason why the Bengal government cannot accept it,' a senior teacher of a madarsa said.
Another teacher refuted the state's logic regarding the temporary teachers. 'This does not hold much water as temporary teachers are also being appointed by the state government under the Centre's ongoing Sarva Siksha Abhiyan.'
Officials said the central funds aim to enable the state to undertake a comprehensive project to upgrade both infrastructure and academic standards at unregistered madarsas, based mostly in rural areas.
The intention is to provide an opportunity to several lakh poor Muslim pupils to avail primary education on a par with that offered in registered madarsas, where the courses offered till Class X have been modernised and declared equivalent to Madhyamik.
Those passing the senior madarsa examination from the recognised institutions can enrol for higher secondary courses, sources in the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education said.
In contrast, courses offered in the unregistered primary madarsas are based mostly on theology, officials of the state madarsa board said citing a survey it had conducted. As a result, their students cannot join mainstream education after completing the primary-level courses.

I'm a nice easy-going girl. I am an honest and trustworthy person - pretty quiet, love walking and relaxing after work. I am looking for an alternative to renting on my own - as the cost of living is rising so rapidly. I haven't stated in the "About Me" section that I am "with kids" - as I am not "with my kid" for all of the week. I share the care of my gorgeous 8 year old boy for half of the week. He goes to school and he is a well behaved, precious little fella.
Anyway, I think that sums me up :)

Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information card retrieval device for retrieving a desired information card from a means storing information cards each carrying picture information.
For ease in terminology in describing the present invention, the items to be stored will be referred to generally in this specification as information cards," which term is intended to cover many different items including, without limitation, ledger cards, magnetic cards, optical cards, punched cards, tapes, keys, slides, film cards, microfiche, microfilm jackets, and the like. 2. Description of the Prior Art In one of the conventional devices for retrieving one of the many information cards carrying picture information stored in juxtaposition in a storage means, a multiplicity of microfiches each having a search code section of magnetic material at an end thereof are stored in the storage means, which is moved transversely relative to a selector means for selecting an appropriate search code thereby to select a desired information card, while at the same time moving the selected information card slightly forwardly by means of the magnetic material. When the particular infonnation card reaches a delivery station or other predetermined position, the relative transverse movement of the storage means is terminated, so that the particular information card is separated from another information cards adjacent thereto by a pair of wedge-shaped hooks. At the same time, the information card moved forwardly is taken out by an X-Y handling means and transported to a predetermined position.
Such a conventional device requires for different search codes to be provided for a multiplicity of information cards stored in a storage means, with the result that the dimensional limitations accompanying the information cards makes it very difficult and costly to produce different search codes. Especially in the case where the magnetic material is fixed directly on an information card'and a search code is applied to the magnetic material, great difficulties are encountered in forming notches for search codes.
One method of facilitating the process of forming the code notches may be to allow the search codes to be located at relatively free positions on the information cards. However, since this method makes it necessary to reduce the number of information cards capable of being selected at a time, it is impossible to store a great number of information cards. Another disadvantage of such a method is the fact that since a search code is directly provided on an information card, it is impossible to interchangeably use such search codes with those information cards without any search codes provided thereon. In other words, in such a conventional device, information cards other than those produced exclusively for a particular device can not be used. Also, in the retrieval and returning of an information card, it is necessary to provide means for separating the desired information card from cards adjacent thereto, resulting in the complication of the construction of the device on one hand and the problem of scratches which tend to develop on the information card in the process of retrieval or returning. Further, since each information card contains only those images which cannot be iden- 2 tified with a naked eye, it is impossible to make indications which need to bc identifiable with a naked eye such as titles, captions, memorandums and patterns or colorings intended for improved design.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the invention to provide an information card retrieval device with a simple construction for retrieving information cards in which each search code for selection of an information card has a small number of digits and a desired information card is capable of being selected from among a multiplicity ofinformation cards without causing any scratches to develop on the information card retrieved.
Another object of the invention is to provide an information card retrieval device in which the retrieval and returning of each information card is accomplished easily with a simple means.
Still another object of the invention is to provide an information card retrieval device in which it is possible to provide various indications to identify each informa tion card with a naked eye.
A further object of the invention is to provide an information card retrieval device which has improved means for the retrieval and returning of information cards.
In order to achieve the above-mentioned objects, the present invention is characterized in that information cards are contained in jackets and a plurality of such jackets are in turn contained in each of a plurality of magazines disposed on a drum, so that by designating the address of a magazine and the search code alloted to a jacket, the magazine is transferred to a desired position to retrieve the jacket with the designated search code, while leaving part of the particular jacket within the magazine.

FIG. 2 is a plan as viewed from above of the embodiment of FIG. I.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram for explaining the operation of the device according to the invention.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the jacket containing an information card.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a section taken in line V V in FIG. 4.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the invention will be now explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings, reference numeral 1 shows a screen, numeral 2 a projection lens, numeral 3 a focusing lens, numeral 4 aprojection lamp and numeral 5 an information card. An optical system for projecting an enlarged image of the information contained in the information card 5 is made up of the screen 1, the projection lens 2, the focusing lens 3 and the projection lamp 4. As already mentioned above, the information card 5 includes, without limitation, a magnetic card, optical card, punched card, microfilm, microfilm jacket, tape, microfiche or the like, even though microfiche is employed in the present invention.
parent sheet of synthetic resin hard to scratch. Numeral 7 shows a box-type magazine with its upper and front sides open for containing replaceably a plurality of jackets (usually 20 to 30 jackets), the most effective amount of the jackets to be contained in one magazine being 30. Numeral 8 shows a drum on which are radially arranged approximately 20 magazines 7 at regular spatial intervals. The magazine 7 is constructed replaceably so as to be interchangeably used with other magazines as desired. Numeral 9 shows a gear with its teeth along the periphery of the bottom of the drum 8, the gear being in engagement with a small gear 10. Numeral l 1 shows a motor for driving the drum 8 through the small gear 10. Numeral 12 shows aperture provided in the small gear at regular intervals and equal in number to the magazines 7. Numeral 13 shows a light source such as a lamp whose output light is radiated through the apertures 12 onto a light-receiving section 14 such as a photoelectric element. With the rotation of the small gear 10 by the amount corresponding to the length between an aperture 12 and the next aperture 12a, the drum 8 rotates by the amount corresponding to the length between a magazine 7 and the next magazine 70. Therefore, the aperture 12 functions as the address of the magazine 7. Numeral 15 shows a selector or search means provided in proximity to the magazines 7 on the drum 8 and comprising search magnets 16a and 16b which move to a predetermined position upon a selectionvcommand and a holding plate 17 for preventing the jacket 6 from flying off radially. Nu-.
meral 18 shows an X-Y handling device provided approximately 180 in advance of the small gear 10 on the periphery of the drum 8 for pulling out to a predetermined position the jacket 6 selected out by the selector means 15. Numeral 19 shows a position detector means for detecting the jacket 6 which has been radially taken out and reached the operating position of the X-Y handling device 18. As the position detector means may be used a microswitch a contact of which is pressed by the jacket 6 thereby to close the actuating circuit for the X-Y handling device 18.
The radiation oflight through the small aperture 12 onto the light-receiving section causes one pulse to be generated from the light-receiving section. The pulse is counted by the counter section 20. The counter section 20 is reset and its content is reduced to zero without fail when the'starting aperture of the small gear is reached upon completion of the counting of all the apertures. Reference numeral 21 shows a register for setting a desired magazine address, and numeral 22 a comparator section for comparing the content of the counting section 21 with that of the register 21. The comparator section 22 produces an output signal not only to stop the motor 11 but to release the holding plate 17 when the contents C of the counting section 20 agree with the contents R of the register 21. Numeral 23 shows a register for storing image addresses which indicates which image stored in the information card 5 is to be projected in an enlarged form. An output from the register 23 is applied to the X-Y handling device in the form of a command to stop the operation thereof.
Reference numerals 24a and 24b show transparent sheets constituting the jacket 6, numeral 25 a magnetic material provided at an end of the jacket 6 which is attracted to the magnets 16a and 16b thereby to pull out the jacket 6 radially of the drum 8. Numeral 26 shows an intermediate sheet for maintaining the space between the transparent sheets 24a and 24b, the sheet being integrated with the transparent sheets 24a and 24b at their ends by fusion or other bonding method. Numerals 27a, 27b and 27c show notches formed as search codes at the edges of the jacket 6 at the positions where the magnetic material 25 is located, the width of each of the notches being greater than the thickness of the search magnets 16a and 16b. Numerals 28a and 28b show positioning notches formed in proximity to the notches 27a, 27b and 27c whereby the jacket 6 is mechanically posotioned and held by the X-Y handling device 8. Numeral 29 shows a blank portion formed on the lower part of the jacket 6 for making various indications. In the case of a change in the information card 5 contained in the jacket 6, the indications are easily changed so as to meet the new situation by providing a bag for the blank portion 29 into which a separately prepared indication plate is capable of being inserted as required. Such a bag of the jacket 6 for receiving the information card 5 may be open at one side thereof.
In the above-described arrangement, the designation of the address AB of the magazine containing the jacket to be selected, search code CD of the jacket to be selected and the image address EF of the jacket 6 to be selected causes the current address of the magazine 7 stored in the selector means 15 to be compared with the address AB stored in the register 21. When they disagree with each other, the motor 11 is driven thereby to rotate the drum 8, while the agreement between them causes the motor 11 to be stopped thereby to stop the rotation of the drum 8. As a result, themagazine 7 of the designated address is stopped in front of the se-v lector means 15.
During the rotationof the drum 8, the holding plate 17 moves toward the center of the drum 18 to prevent the jacket 6 from being attracted by the search magnets 16a and 16b. When the designated magazine 7 stops in front of the selector means 15, the jacket 7 moves back whereby the jacket 6 in the magazine is rendered free to be attracted to the search magnets 16a and 16b. In this case, the magnets 16a and 16b move to a designated position prior to the retreat of the holding plate 17. Only the jacket 6 which agrees with the notches 27a, 27b and 270 at the predetermined position is attracted by the search magnets 16a and 16b to jump forward by the length equal to the depth of the notches 27a, 27b and 27c, while the other jackets are prevented from jumping forward by the edges of the search magnets 16a and 16b.
When the desired jacket 6 jumps out, the drum 48 is again rotated and the particular jacket 6 impinges upon the position detector 19 so that the drum 8 stops rotating on one hand and the X-Y handling device 18 is energized thereby to further pull out the jacket 6 to a predetermined position. The length by which the jacket 6 is pulled out is determined by a command signal issued by the register 23, even though the jacket 6 is always partially left within the magazine 7. The image contained in the information card 5 in the jacket 6 pulled out to the predetermined position is enlarged and projected on the screen 1. After the projected image is observed, the designated address in the register 23 is reduced to zero whereby the jacket 6 is returned into the magazine 7 by means of the X-Y handling device 18.
At the same time that the desired jacket 6 jumps out and the designated magazine 7 departs from the selector means 15, the holding plate 17 moves forward toward the center of the drum 8 thereby to prevent the jackets contained in the other magazines from jumping out.
According to the present invention, the jacket 6 may preferably opened at a part of one of both sides. Therefore, the information card 5 can be easily inserted into the jacket 6 from the opened part of the jacket 6. Also, the information card is easily replaced since the information card 5 is exposed with the jacket 6 being opened at a part of one of both sides as shown in FIG. 4 when the jacket 6 is taken out of the magazine 7.
The information card 5 is used while being contained in the jacket 6 and therefore it is not scratched during the processes of putting it into or taking it out of the magazine 7, thus making it possible to obtain a clear image. Should a scratch develop on the jacket 6, it may be replaced without replacing the expensiveinformation card 5 contained therein.
If information of different types or different combinations is wanted, the magazine 7 may be removed from the drum 8 and replaced by another magazine containing the required information cards. Each of the magazines 7 may contain jackets 6 with the same search codes andtherefore the jackets 6 may be taken out of that magazine 7 whose address is designated, merely by changing the address designation of the magazines 7 without changing the search magnets 16a and 16b. For this reason, a variety of combinations of information are obtained.
It will be apparent from the above description that the present invention has the following advantages over the conventional information card retrieval device. Namely, (l) a designated magazine can be moved to the position nearest to the selector means by rotating the drum clockwise'or counterclockwise and therefore the time required for taking out a desired information card is shortened. (2) A desired jacket is taken outwith the magazine and selector means stopped and therefore no scratches develop on the jacket. (3) It is sufficient if the search codes attached to the jackets are different only within a magazine, and therefore it is possible to reduce the number of digits of a search code, with the result that both the construction of the selector means and the process for forming notches on the jackets as search codes are simplified. (4) The drum, magazines, selector means and the holding plate can be operated with the output of the same logic, making it possible to simplify the interlocking system. (5) Since part of the jacket is always left within the magazine, the jacket can be returned into the magazine without any troublesome separation work after an enlarged image has been projected on the screen. (6) The fact that the jacket is partially left within the magazine permits speedly operation of retrieval and returning of the jacket. (7) Various indications identifiable with a naked eye can be conveniently given in blank portions of the jackets. (8) The use of jackets permits the information cards to be maintained new without any fear of scratches being developed, making it always possible to obtain a clear image. (9) The job of retrieval from and returning to the jacket of the information card is facilitated and therefore the job of replacing the information card is simplified.
Even though in the above-described embodiment the apertures in the small gear are utilized as the addresses of the magazines, marks provided directly on the drum or magazine may be alternatively detected.

Grow Your Own Food. Period.
Growing your own food is like growing your own money. A Zuchini is $1 in the store. $1 worth of seeds will grow $100 worth of zucchini squash. One tomato plant per person will keep you in tomatoes all summer. Two tomato plants will keep you in tomatoes all summer and give you some to freeze for the winter.
A seed needs dirt, water, sun and time, and gives you food. I bought 6 packs of seeds, they ranged in price from $1.29 – $2.49. I planted 6 dixie cups each of Hot Peppers, (Bell/Capsicum) Sweet Peppers, Summer Squash, Tomatoes, Green Beans and Basil.
In the pepper and tomatoes I put 3 seeds in each cup. Summer Squash got 2 seeds each, Green Beans got one, and basil maybe a dozen seeds in each. I have enough left in the seed packets that I can either start a second crop later or plant them next year.
I live in an apartment, so I don't have a huge yard to till up. But I do have a balcony with a railing. When the time comes, I'll move my seedlings to pots that hang from the railing and/or from the underside of my upstairs neighbors deck. (There are already hooks there!)
This is not rocket science. Cave men figured this out. It's what got them out of the cave. Eating fresh food that you grew tastes better than anything you can buy in a store. It's healthier for you, and it's (virtually) free. I spent $15 today on cups, dirt and seeds. It'll net $1000 worth of food. All I have to do is remember to water it, spend an hour potting it in real pots, and pick it.

Q: When starting out, the right rear area has a squeak. on 2004 Pontiac Grand Am
It seems to stop making the noise after going a few yards almost like it has warmed up or lubricated itself. Any ideas what to check and how much it may cost me?
strut is bad push down on that side many times and listen for the sound
| |
It depends on if the squeak happens when the suspension moves up and down or as the tire/wheel rotate. The first would be a suspension noise and the second would be a brake, wheel bearing, or seal noise.

Game Theory in Cooperative Communications
Cooperative communication has great potential to improve the wireless channel capacity by exploiting the antennas on wireless devices for spatial diversity. However, applications of cooperative communication are barely seen in reality. A main obstacle blocking its wide applications is the lack of incentives for wireless nodes to participate in cooperative communication. The authors first survey the existing game theoretic solutions for providing cooperation incentives in cooperative communications. They then discuss the challenges in applying game theory to cooperative communications.

Driving BMW's latest M5 sedan is like walking around with a rocket-propelled grenade launcher stuffed down the leg of your bespoke Armani suit.
It's ever so tastefully stylish, and cleverly cut so that it barely hints at the firepower you've got tucked away, and it feels silky smooth when you're in motion. But always in the back of your mind is the thought that if I point this thing and pull the trigger, all hell is going to break loose.
And it most assuredly will. With all the electronic "safeties" clicked off and the myriad performance-enhancing "buttons" in their locked and loaded positions, when you punch the pedal, you trigger a rocket-like rush. This four-door Teutonic two-tonnner, that can hold a pair of baby seats into the back seat and a couple of golf bags in the trunk, accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds.
That's about half a dozen resting rate heart beats, but be assured it gets your pulse accelerating at a rev-matching rate. And if this were to make you feel giddy enough to keep counting for a just a couple of seconds more, you'd reach velocities that might see you standing sheepishly before a seriously unhappy judge, trying to explain that being intoxicated by this level of performance isn't really your fault. That the blame really lies with that power-mad bunch seated around the highly polished vorstandstich in the combustion chamber of BMW's four-cylinder Munich headquarters.
If ever there was a vehicle in which the words "Imbibe Responsibly" should appear on the dashboard information screen every time you fire it up and require you to press the "I Agree" icon before putting it in gear, this is it.
And it's not just its sheer acceleration capability. Despite its mass, the M5's steering, suspension, tires and brakes allow it to operate at an other-worldly level beyond the ken of driver's accustomed to merely mortal (to anthropomorphise) machinery.
The 265/35ZR20 front and 295/30ZR20 rear sports tires are as tenacious as Velcro and brake away as reluctantly. The front brake discs are flying-saucer-sized drilled monsters 400 mm in diameter clamped by six-pot calipers, the rears are only slight less, and between them produce prodigious stopping power.
This fifth generation of BMW's mighty M5 arrived recently in Canada as a 2012 model priced at $101,500, a goodly chunk cheaper than the previous model. The 2013 versions will be essentially identical apart from the availability of ceramic brakes, and a more capable 3D nav system and improved connectivity features; dictation for e-mail messages, high speed internet access, smart phone integration and up-functioned iDrive controller.
Since the first M5 appeared in 1985 – to lay claim to fastest sedan in the world honours – these super sedans have delivered astonishing levels of performance along with the amenities and practicality of a mid-size luxury car.
The previous-generation M5 had two extra cylinders and an extra 600c c of displacement, which generated 500 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque, while this new one displaces just 4.4-litres distributed among eight cylinders. But they share twin turbochargers, which twist the dynamometer's needles to output readings of 560 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque, the latter available from a just 1,500 rpm. That's enough to make the larger and heavier new V-8 one quicker than the V-10-engined old one.
A seven-speed double-clutch gearbox, that shifts automatically or manually with the gear lever or steering-wheel-mounted paddles, sends drive to the rear wheels. Doing so not as seamlessly perhaps as a pure automatic, but with a delightful "boomp" from the exhaust to punctuate each shift, even when you're idling around town. You'll be doing a lot of that thanks to all that torque, which lets the engine loaf at not much over a thousand rpm in second or third at little over a brisk walking speed. A more imprudent approach will see you elevating the city fuel rating of 13.2 litres/100 km rapidly up into four-by-four Hemi-powered Dodge Ram pickup territory.
If you drive with a light foot at the 80-km/h limit on a flat stretch of country road you can get close to the 8.6 litres/100 km highway rating but up the pace to four-lane highway speeds and the number rises to a pretty reasonable 9.4 litres/100 km or so, in the ballpark with a number of compact crossovers. Not awful, given the power on tap.
The test M5 wasn't quite as understated as a grey silk business suit in its bright Monte Carlo Blue on the outside, set off by 20-inch alloys that expose those huge and purposeful brake discs and calipers – a statement to those in the know.
The inside was fully trimmed in $4,500 worth of light grey Silverstone Merino leather set off by fine-mesh metallic trim. It looks stunning. The active sports seats are superbly comfortable and the rear is set up for two with plenty of foot and headroom. The deep trunk's capacity is 520 litres. See, told you it was practical.
The standard and optional equipment list on the $115,500 MSRP test unit is too long to reproduce here, but it includes just about everything you can think of from a power trunk release to a head-up display and side sunshades to lane-departure and blind spot warning systems.
A firmly sprung car but one that, thanks to its high-tech suspension, doesn't beat up those aboard and is loaded to the beltline with luxury features, yet is so astonishingly capable it makes you wonder what they could possibly come up with to top it.

A careers afternoon is also held just before students make their GCSE choices. The sessions include a short psychometric internet-based questionnaire, GCSE options and career options. Tutors then follow up with two sessions researching the careers suggestions.
Year 10 have a study skills conference to launch their GCSE/IGCSE courses, including time management, types and ways of learning and self-motivation strategies. Building on this is a careers rotation within the extension curriculum that focuses on developing practical skills for the workplace.
In June, students join the Futurewise careers and higher education guidance scheme. This starts with an individual psychometric profile and is followed up with a one-to-one interview with a trained careers advisor from ISCO at the beginning of the autumn term (in Year 11).
Students will then have their own Futurewise web space containing their profile, links to careers and higher education websites, information about career and skills development courses and one-to-one professional help via email or telephone. Parents receive a hard copy of the profile report and their own log in code and web space on Futurewise. Membership benefits apply until the student's 23rd birthday.
Appointments can be made to meet with an ISCO representative at the Year 11 parents' evening to discuss both course choices and future careers options. There is also an AS information evening in the autumn term where students and parents can consult staff about AS/A2 choices.

Future Cities is a transmedia project about five exciting emerging urban areas, the people and stories behind the demographic and economic statistics of urban growth. Everyone knows Mumbai and Shanghai are booming, but we choose cities that will challenge them the next 10-25 years when it comes to entrepreneurship, innovation, growth and creativity.
Future Cities is an experience: In the web doc the story will be told by main characters. Through video, audio, photos and words readers will be drawn into the personal stories of people who are leading the transition in their city. By combining different media we create a experience of being in the heart of a Future City. You will feel sympathy for its inhabitants, hear the city and feel its energy.
The first two parts (Kinshasa and Lima) of the web doc are already online: www.futurecities.nl

Pitchers new and old are monopolizing the thoughts of Yankee officials here. The Yankees are on the verge of signing Ricardo Aramboles, a 16-year-old top-flight pitching prospect from the Dominican Republic, and while David Cone threw two good innings in his first game action since his shoulder surgery last fall, the left-hander David Wells has been sidelined by a strained muscle in his rib cage.
And today, club executives met with the agent for pitcher Orlando Hernandez, who defected from Cuba, like his brother Livan Hernandez of the Florida Marlins. Joe Cubas, the agent, will meet with Yankee officials again on Thursday. Brian Cashman, the Yankees' general manager, and Mark Newman, the team's director of player development, are expected to meet with the principal owner George Steinbrenner to discuss bids for Aramboles and Hernandez.
Aramboles originally signed with the Florida Marlins. But when it was determined he was under-age at the time, he became a free agent and worked out for scouts at the Yankees' complex here. Since then, other teams have assumed that the Yankees have the inside track, and, as his negotiations near conclusion, it appears they are the front-runners, for something in the range of $1.6 million to $1.8 million. ''We think this will be concluded one way or another Thursday or Friday,'' Newman said.
The Yankees are competing with Cincinnati, Colorado and Cleveland for Aramboles's services. They have shown a willingness to pay top dollar for young talent to replenish a farm system often raided when the Yankees trade for veterans. In the last two years, the Yankees have swapped minor leaguers for Cecil Fielder, Hideki Irabu and Chuck Knoblauch; they traded two young pitchers and a top shortstop prospect in the deal for Knoblauch.
Executives with other teams say Hernandez is seeking a multiyear contract with a signing bonus in the range of $4 million. The Yankees are contending with Anaheim and Seattle, and Newman believes Hernandez could pitch in the majors this season. ''We would rather have him spend time in the minor leagues,'' Newman said. ''He could possibly be a factor in the second half of 1998 -- '99 certainly.''Continue reading the main story
Although Newman expects the bidding on Hernandez to conclude by Friday, the Yankees at this time may not be in the best position to evaluate his value to them. Hernandez wants to pitch in the majors as soon as possible. But if Cone's seamless rehabilitation continues and Irabu does not wash out, the Yankees will not have a strong need for a veteran pitcher. Hernandez's value as a gate attraction could mean far more than how he would help the team win a championship.
And there is the question of Hernandez's age. Some baseball executives have evidence that he is 32, although Cubas says he is younger. Newman said he asked Cubas that question today. ''He said, '28' '' Newman recalled.
Newman and Cubas sat in the stands for five innings of a seven-inning Yankees intrasquad game, watching Cone pitch two innings, looking like just another veteran working his way into shape early in spring training. The velocity on his fastball was all right (ranging from 86 to 88 miles an hour), his control was good, he struggled to maintain his delivery and he allowed a run in two innings, on Darryl Strawberry's booming double.
But the fact that Cone could barely propel a ball last fall and eventually required shoulder surgery in October made today's performance somewhat remarkable. His rehabilitation has progressed extremely well, and he continues to believe he will be part of the rotation the first week of the regular season. ''I'd be pleased with this outing during any spring,'' he said.
Joe Torre, the Yankees' manager, said Cone would be included in the spring training rotation when the exhibition games start Friday. Cone is scheduled to pitch next Tuesday when the Yankees play Houston, but Torre is prepared to change the plan if Cone experiences any unusual stiffness in the interim.
Torre said that Wells strained a muscle in his rib cage this week, which has affected his ability to throw. Gene Monahan, the team's trainer, described Wells's ailment as ''a slight strain of the intercostal muscle,'' saying that ''it's not a major injury, but it'll take a few days.'' Wells, who was not available for comment, probably won't be able to pitch in his scheduled start on Saturday.
Ramiro Mendoza will start in the exhibition opener Friday, against Detroit, and is very likely to be followed by Mike Jerzembeck Saturday, Andy Pettitte Sunday, Irabu on Monday and Cone on Tuesday.
Mike Stanton, the reliever who has been bothered by a strained back, resumed throwing today. Graeme Lloyd, hampered by a hip strain, will start throwing on Thursday.
JACK McDOWELL, 32, agreed yesterday to terms with the Anaheim Angels for a one-year contract for a base of $1 million and incentives that could increase the contract's value to between $5 million and $6 million. He pitched in only eight games for Cleveland last year as he recovered from arm trouble. The Yankees and four other teams had expressed interest in McDowell, who won the American League Cy Young Award in 1993. . . . When TIM RAINES, the Yankees left fielder, awoke Tuesday to hear about the deadly tornadoes that ravaged central Florida, he immediately called home, to Sanford. ''They landed about 10 miles from my house,'' Raines. ''They came about three blocks from my mother-in-law's house.''Continue reading the main story

Over the past few years in St. Louis, New York and other areas, pesticides have been used to tame the West Nile virus, a mosquito-borne disease which can lead to flu-like symptoms, and in a few cases, death. But many environmental groups want to halt the use of pesticides used to reduce exposure to mosquito-borne illnesses, according to a study from the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
Environmental activists claim the risks of pesticide use outweigh the benefits, but the data shows otherwise:
- Activists claim pesticides cause cancer in humans -- but the World Health Organization reports that only about 2 percent of cancer cases are attributable to any form of environmental pollution, whereas diet and cigarette smoking contribute to about 65 percent of cancer cases.
- Specifically, activists claim that pesticide use contributes to "estrogenic" cancers such as breast and prostate cancer; however, research has not proven this link -- indeed, prostate cancer rates have declined by 11 percent and leveled off since 1992.
- Activists downplay the seriousness of West Nile virus; however, in New York alone, there were a reported 62 cases and 7 deaths in 2002 -- while these numbers are modest, the unpredictability of the virus raised concerns with health officials.
Moreover, reports that pesticides kill more birds than West Nile are shaky. In studying New York's bird death rate in 2001, science writer Steven Milloy concluded:
- Out of a sample 3,216 birds, about two-thirds of them died from natural diseases (1,263 deaths were from West Nile virus) -- only 219 deaths were pesticide-related, with the majority of them caused by intentional poisoning or illegal use of pesticide products.
- Bird Watcher's Digest reported that in 2002, 400 great horned howls were found dead in the Midwest as a result of West Nile virus, and that there could have been as many as 40,000 to 400,000 more unreported cases.
Thus use of pesticides can not only prevent human diseases, but those of animals.
