Love this car!
By Jacky D. on Monday, May 14, 2018I feel like Im driving a 40,000.00 car! The SEL has all the comforts of a luxury sedan for half the price! This car moves so smoothly and quietly and the gas mileage is unbelievable.

Awesome car...
By CA-DRIVER on Thursday, January 18, 2018Recently hit 5000 miles in my 2018 Elantra Limited with the Ultimate package. I had a 2016 Elantra Limited and this new model is so much better in every way. Quieter ride, the bounciness of the rear suspension in the previous generation is fixed, infinity sound system sounds amazing, love the design of the LED tailights...theres just too many pros to list. The one and only con is the off the line torque. Its slow off the line because its not a GDI engine anymore but thats why I average 38mpg in combined city and highway so cant complain much about that. Once 40+mph is reached it can keep up with any other car in this class. I drive up and over the CA Grapevine every week and this engine easily goes up and over that tough highway with ease. If you want a comfortable daily driver this is the car for you. If you want something sporty, you will hate this car. This car is NOT sporty at all.

Great Car
By Fellanator on Saturday, July 01, 2017I got the Limited model and paid 17k. Hyundai must not be selling alot of these cars because I got over 6000 off msrp. The ride is great, and is very quiet for an economy car. The use of adhesives and thicker glass contribute to this. I primarily do highway driving and I average 43mpg. Overall an excellent vehicle for the money

Jiwo Damar Anarkie from Indonesia is a young co-founder of the Future Leaders for Anti-Corruption (FLAC) a local NGO, and he uses storytelling and hand puppets to teach integrity to elementary school students.
"They're very young, at the stage where character building is still possible. Storytelling is one of the most effective ways to do so," said Anarkie.
The organization did an initial road show in four schools in Jakarta, and later built partnerships with Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK, Corruption Eradication Commission), allowing the team to reach more schools in more cities as well as to train more storytellers and purchase more hand puppets.Anarkie was one of the competitively selected participants from a global competition to attend the 3rd Global Voices Against Corruption forum in Brasilia, Brazil, on November 5-6, 2012. The Forum preceded and was a partner of the 15th International Anti-Corruption Conference 2012 (IACC), which took place on November 7-10.
The Forum was attended by more than 100 civil society leaders, journalists, ICT experts, and musicians from 49 countries and built on previous achievements of the Global Youth Anti-Corruption (GYAC) Network. GYAC now has one of the fastest growing networks supported by the World Bank Institute (WBI), with 1,500 members on its online platform.
The event also brought competitively selected conference participants together to collaboratively develop their skills and knowledge on using Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) for good governance, project management, fundraising, citizen journalism, networking, and innovative social accountability approaches.
The speakers included young leaders, members of the Network who have implemented in-country projects through the Network's mini grants, representatives of the British Council Global Changemakers program, Vinicius Wu of Rio Grande do Sul State's Digital Cabinet, as well as experts from WBI including Vice President Sanjay Pradhan, Robert Hunja, Manager of the Open Government team, Boris Weber, Senior Governance Specialist and Keith McLean, Lead Social Development Specialist.
"Throughout my anti-corruption struggle, the refrain has been, 'This is very hard.' But I see none of that here," said Sanjay Pradhan, WBI Vice President at the forum's conclusion." You represent energy, commitment, passion, enthusiasm, dedication in the fight against corruption and we desperately need that."
Youth Leaders Creating Change
To deepen national and regional ties for the GYAC Network in Brazil, 10 young Brazilian anti-corruption activists were also invited to the GYAC forum through Amarribo, Jr., an anti-corruption group in the country. One of them was Liana Morisco, who previously received threats after writing about a corrupt politician.
"People are scared to [fight corruption] because they are afraid of threats. People who've fought corruption have been murdered and their cars and homes trashed … [but] once you're in it, you're in it. You can't just get out. They threaten us to stop doing what we do. So if we stop fighting, they're going to win," said Morisco.
Through the GYAC network and the 3rd Global Voices Against Corruption forum, anti-corruption advocates like Liana Morisco found allies and partners within the Latin American region and from around the world, who could help them with best practices, collaborative actions, and innovations in the fight against corruption.
Asserting the role of the youth in the International Anti-Corruption Conference (IACC)
The forum was followed by the IACC conference, which ended with the Brasilia Declarationthat called on "government, business and society to embrace transparency so that it ensures full participation of all people." One of the key findings in the four-day conference is the increasing importance of the role of the youth in the fight against corruption.
At the IACC, attended by more than 1,500 participants from civil society, heads of state, and the private sector, GYAC members delivered a workshop session entitled Youth, Music, ICT in Anti-Corruption, which showcased youth-led initiatives such as the Fair Play Anti-Corruption Youth Voices, Checkmyschool, and GYAC.
For 2012, more than 70,000 online votes were received by the videos submitted to Fair Play. The program recently won a UN-sponsored World Summit Youth Award. GYAC, through WBI, worked with Jeunesses Musicales International (JMI) for a concert on the last day of the conference, with the winning bands of the 2012 edition of Fair Play performing.
A special plenary at the IACC was on The Future of Fighting Corruption, jointly organized by GYAC and Transparency International. "The fight against corruption is boring. It's not about conferences, photos, publicity. It's about the everyday work you do," said Elena Panfilova, Director of Transparency International-Russia, who started her struggle against corruption as a young activist.
"We need to increase the cost of corruption. How do we change the incentives? How do we make it that corrupt leaders are unelectable? That corrupt employees are unappointable? We need to ensure that corruption is not an option," said Rajiv Joshi, Director of Programs at the Global Call to Action Against Poverty (GCAP).

The car I got from my dad at the age of 18 was a 1983 Fiat 131 Supermirafiori. It had four doors, a DOHC engine with roughly 95 horsepower, a five-speed manual and rear-wheel drive. And rust. Still, what better way to start driving? Here's ten.
10.) Early 80s Toyota Celica
First generation Celicas are getting rare and expensive, and anything younger than a 1984 model will have front-wheel drive. That's why the best choice is a Celica from the early eighties with a five-speed manual and the power sent to the rear.
You can use them as daily drivers, or tune them for some track day fun. Either way, good times.
I got my sister's 85 Celica GT 5-speed as my winter car in high school. That thing was perfect for a first-time driver: manual, RWD, good on gas, decently quick, small/nimble, and absolutely indestructible. I'd drive one now if I could.
I was very nearly set to receive my parents' old 1984 GT Hatchback 5-speed, and I'd agree. I got my grandfather's old 1993 GT Hatchback 5-speed instead, which was just about as fun, although not quite with the FWD instead.
Still, any Celica Hatchback is a great car to be handed down, as they are damn useful at transporting things as well.

9.) Mercedes-Benz W123
Name one thing apart from acceleration that this Benz won't do! If properly maintained, these cars will take you there and back, as many times as you want.
When we were looking for a good "first car" for one of my kids, we went looking for a diesel W123. Local Mercedes mechanic said "those things are so damn slow he'll probably get rear-ended."
Still, I'd love to have one to restore...
Suggested By: Incognigro, Photo Credit: 300td.org
8.) Plymouth Valiant
While not the most reliable, having an old American car can be a lot of fun without too much headache.
My first hand me down was a 72 Dodge Valiant. Fantastic car. Only had one speaker, so you were out of luck with anything broadcast in stereo. That little 6 banger would have lived forever.
One problem, the engine had a tendency to "diesel" if you kept it above 90mph for more than a minute or so. I would have to shut the engine off just to slow down. I guess it wasn't that good after all!
Suggested By: shieldsdb, Photo Credit: shieldsdb
7.) Honda Accord
Yes, Accords can be pretty boring. So what? It's a reliable coupe that's fun to drive. That ticks the right boxes.
Let's be realist; a new driver needs something reliable, with low power, low cost maintenance and that won't incite him to "autocross" in a parking lot at 3am (and crashing in a light post).
A hand-me-down should not be a fun beater, it should be about safety and going from point A to B.
Thus, the best Hand-Me-Down car would be 10+ years Toyota Corolla/Camry or Honda Accord (not Civic, unless you want him to swap rims and add neons everywhere).
After a year of learning in a boring Hand-Me-Down, he/she will be ready to upgrade to something fun!
Suggested By: Zergonn, Photo Credit: BrownGuacamole
6.) Mazda Miata
And talking of fun...
Reliable, simple and cheap to fix, and teaches young'ins to drive defensive and fear everything on the road.
It also teaches you how to drive properly.
Suggested By: ridered777, Photo Credit: rutlo
5.) Mercury Marauder
The rules are simple: Anything Panther, plus points for the Mercury.
Anything Panther...big enough for friends, huge trunk, comfy and if it can withstand Police and Taxi duty it can survive novice driver abuse.
Bonus points if it's a Mercury Marauder.
I learned to drive in a 1994 Crown Vic LX. I wish it had gotten passed down to me, unfortunately I got pops' 1987 Cavalier
Cavalier. Not the best hand me down car.
Suggested By: Automatch Tom, Photo Credit: Angry Falafel
4.) Jeep Cherokee
The best all-rounder.
Cheap to run, cheap to fix, will fit 5 people in relative comfort, with all your stuff in the hatch area. 4WD to go anywhere and great reliability. Gas mileage isn't even THAT bad on the highway.
All the abilities of a soccer mom mobile with the coolness of a first car!
It's my hand me down! And my fathers hand me down! And my grandfathers hand me down! I love these Jeeps. My 5MT 4.0 hasn't needed anything but a new fuel injector and routine maintenance.
Suggested By: primalzer, Photo Credit: SineadFriel
3.) Volkswagen Beetle
The thing about underpowered cars is that they make you learn to think ahead on the road. The Beetle is a fun classic and pretty easy to fix with minimal mechanical skill.
I'd have to second this. The first car I drove was a hand-me-down '68 Beetle. They're virtually indestructible. You can drive one with a broken clutch cable, or running on 3 cylinders until you have a chance to fix it. Parts are rather cheap for them still (thanks to the fact they sold so many of them).
They're also great for learning to drive in. They teach you how to drive a manual transmission. They teach you how to plan your moves on the road (this isn't the car you use if you plan to speed up to beat someone to an exit). They're a great car to learn the mechanical workings of a vehicle, cause there's no frills to them at all. I don't think there's a better hand-me-down car than a Beetle.
Suggested By: RyanRask, Photo Credit: Rachel Clare Hobday
2.) Volvo 850
The shape, the Scandinavian vibe, everything about it.
The thing is a tank, you could roll it and be totally alright, your kid can carry their stuff off to college and back, and it's not terrible.
If your kid thinks that it's not a cool car, tell them that they used to race them.
Suggested By:willkinton247, Photo Credit: M.Peinado
1.) Subaru Outback Sport
Whatever the year, these things are fantastic.
Subie outback sport. Bug eye edition. Rugged, stick, AWD, wagon. Adaqute power without getting you in trouble.
Do you really need anything else?
No, you don't.

I've been using one of these (in Black) for 12 months. After 12 months wear the outer skin has a couple of holes where gradual movement has worn through the skin, but it's still doing the job, I have a very small Lezyne micro tool in the bottom pocket, some of their tyre levers in the side, road tube and link in the main pocket, but as the review says, its a small caddy, so for instance my Specialized tyre levers just wouldn't go in. I can confirm it doesn't rattle, and I'm fussy about rattles...
Not everyone needs to take several rounds of sandwiches, a phone, a camera, a waterproof, a spare gear cable, three tubes, patches, a lucky Gonk and all the other saddlebag detritus that some deem necessary on a ride all stuffed into a saddlepack that would trouble a budget airlines baggage allowance, others like to travel fast and light, the Lezyne Micro Caddy (Small) is for those people.
With a capacity of a meagre 0.5L its cargo potential is plainly going to be fairly minimal. The main compartment is flanked by internal sleeves to hide delicate or pointy things away from the scrummage of the hold, the left-hand one ambitiously marked out by Lezyne for an inner-tube while the right-hand side is split into two; each about the right size to slip a slim tyre lever into. Storage space is extended with an outer pocket that's graphiced up to suggest you fit your micro-tool in there, although it will have to be quite a mini micro tool to squeeze in.
The Micro Caddy is constructed from weatherproof materials and has a waterproof zip holding everything in which keeps the contents from all but the worst of rain and wheel spray. After particularly moist rides it's prudent to take everything out and give it a wipe down though to avoid rusting of anything that can rust, it's no big issue as you'd probably need to give the Caddy a good clean as well anyway after such a ride, especially if you've bought the white one, to match your shoes. Reflective piping adds a tenuous level of safety.
The twin neoprene arms wrap around the saddle rails and Velcro onto the Lezyne's body to provide a secure fastening without the need for a seatpost strap or any extra anti-eject security round the saddle rails, not even your favourite old toe-strap. This one has logged an impressive tally of miles and it hasn't budged at all, and best of all as those neoprene arms can be pulled quite tight it hasn't rattled in that Chinese water-torture way that goes mostly unnoticed by the rider but makes all your cycle companions want to kill you inefficiently with whatever tool is making the annoying noise.
Obviously whether you can get all your preferred ride-saving kit into the small Micro Caddy depends on how much you think you need, it could be a struggle for some. Lezyne say the bag can hold a small multi-tool, a spare road tube and some tyre levers. With a bit of effort you can manage to stuff more in; currently this test one is holding a turquoise puncture repair box with patches, glue and some spare links hidden inside it, a pair of chunky tyre levers, a not so mini mini-tool with a chain-breaker on, a spoke-key and since that ride where the friend with the deep-section rims didn't bring any valve extenders, one of them. And despite it bulging quite tumescently it hasn't thrown itself off or spilled its load into the verge (that's quite enough of that - ed).
For the lightweight rider that doesn't feel the need to take their entire tool-chest with them on a ride than this is an excellent choice. Small enough to be forgotten about and not cause too much angst for the delicate lines of your elegant steed yet large enough, just, to fit the bare essentials in. And it doesn't rattle.

Make and model: Lezyne Micro Caddy Small
Size tested: small
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
The Lezyne blurb opines that the Micro Caddy tucks underneath the saddle by wrapping around the saddle rails. The neoprene attachment band dampens vibration, creating a quieter and more secure connection. Water resistant zippers and reflective piping keep it ready for all weather. The Micro Caddy S is a small, yet capable saddle-bag that can fit all of the essentials for your road ride flat repair needs.
I'd agree with that, your definition of 'essential' might differ though.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
0.5L capacity, 100g, 70x75x140 mm, weather-resistant construction with water-resistant zippers and reflective piping, neoprene saddle rail attachment.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
For a minimalist saddlebag that doesn't vibrate, rattle or fall off it did its job perfectly.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
Small, unobtrusive, unrattly.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
It could be a bit of a struggle to fit everything I thought I needed in, the white is tedious to keep clean, but it's also available in black.

As niceguysean says, they do wear through and mine didn't take a year either. After two months of steady use, two holes had developed. However, the holes seemed to have a piece of plastic underneath them (which probably contributed) and this means that the bag stays waterproof.
This took away from what is otherwise a great bag that istill doing good service on my mate's bike.
Got one of these in white (£24.99 at the time last June), road tube, micro tool, patches & 2 zip ties all in main pocket, metal tyre levers in side.
Nothing else. Mine too developed two hole syndrome as well after a few months but not worn through due to the plastic. And definitely dry in out on wetter days or after a wash (when u forget to take it lol
works very well though & u forget it's there almost all the time & doesn't spoilt the nice lines the bike manufacturer worked so hard to create - would recommend
I also have one of these. I can fit 2 Lezyne tyre levers and a pack of patches in the appropriate internal pockets and a road tube, multi tool with chain extractor and 2 CO2 cartridges with inflator in the main compartment. I don't have anything that fits in that small outside pocket. It is very secure, doesn't make any noises and looks good as far as saddle packs go. I also have the slight abrasions from rubbing that everyone else is talking about but this so far hasn't caused any problems. Best one I've owned over many years.
I got it in white for aesthetics but would advise getting in black as it's very difficult to keep the white looking clean!

The Tweed River is a popular shore diving location at the southern end of the Gold Coast. While there are a number of site that can be dived in the Tweed River, the best site is the rocky wall adjacent to the harbour near the river mouth. This rocky wall forms a habitat for a wide variety of marine life, including rock cods, moray eels, octopus, cuttlefish, stripeys, globefish, lionfish, crabs, shrimps and also nudibranchs. The Tweed River is also a spot where divers can see muck critters, such as stonefish, pineapplefish, scorpionfish, ghost pipefish and even frogfish. With a maximum depth of 12 metres the Tweed River is a site that all divers can enjoy, but being tidal it is best dived on the high tide for calm water and good visibility.

New Role for RG3: Redskins Captain
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - Robert Griffin III made his debut as an NFL captain with typical RG3 flair, wearing mismatched shoes, saying he's "even hungrier" following a few days off and lamenting that he likely won't get to play against Michael Vick on Sunday.
The Redskins' offensive players voted Wednesday to make their quarterback a team captain for the rest of the season. Coach Mike Shanahan said he believes it's the first time he's had a rookie in such a leadership position.
The title merely confirms reality. From the day he arrived, Griffin has eagerly seized the leadership role that comes with being an NFL starting quarterback and is the primary reason the Redskins (3-6) have a modicum of hope that they can turn their season around.

How to Use
Map 1 shows the location of Mary McLeod Bethune Council House National Historic Site (denoted by star). At the time of its construction in the mid 1870s, the townhouse that later became the first headquarters of the National Council of Negro Women was situated in a fashionable residential D.C. neighborhood. By the latter part of the 19th century, this areaeventually known as Logan Circle in honor of Civil War Union General John Loganhad become a popular neighborhood for white upper middle-class businessmen and politicians as the capital city grew. At the end of the century, however, these wealthy homeowners began to relocate toward nearby Dupont Circle.
At the same time, more and more African Americans began moving into the Logan Circle area and other neighborhoods to the north, particularly along U Street between 7th and 16th Streets. By 1920, this entire area had become the center of African American life in the segregated capital city. The U Street corridor featured a large number of businesses and entertainment facilities owned by African Americans, and the surrounding neighborhoods became home to many of the city's most prominent black citizens. When Bethune purchased the Vermont Avenue house in 1943 on behalf of NCNW, neighbors included African American attorneys, ministers, and a doctor.
Questions for Map 1
1. Using a classroom map of the United States, locate Washington, D.C. Next, identify the Mary McLeod Bethune Council House National Historic Site on Map 1. How would you describe its location?
2. Locate the U Street corridor and describe its character in the first half of the 20th century. How many blocks away from Logan Circle is U Street?
3. How did the makeup of the Logan Circle area change over time? Why might this neighborhood have appealed to Bethune and NCNW in the 1940s?
4. Note the location of the house in relation to the White House. How might this have benefited an organization such as NCNW?

The design of this tall Spiegelau Beer Glass accentuates the aromas and flavours naturally found in wheat beers. The Spiegelau Beer Glass requires a slow gentle pour at the beginning and when the beer is almost full, a more direct pour to create a thick, creamy foam. Throughout the world, there is a fast growing range of different beers just waiting to be discovered. In order to get most out of the characteristics of beer, the appearance, aroma, taste and finish, it is essential to choose the right glass. To cover all these aspects, Spiegelau has used their expertise and 500 years experience in making crystal to develop three elegant, especially thin blown beer glasses.

As it turns out, Jim Brown isn't sick, he's just tired.
The Hall of Fame running back was scheduled to talk to players at the NFL Rookie Symposium, but the league sent out a release earlier today saying he was being replaced because of an illness.
But Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer talked to his wife Monique, who said he was just worn out from 10 days of travel.
"It's nothing serious," Monique Brown said. "Jim is fine and really looking forward to attending the [50th anniversary] reunion at the Hall of Fame during enshrinement weekend."
Instead of Brown, the rookie got their dose of NFL history from Hall of Fame cornerback Michael Haynes, which is pretty good for a last-minute replacement.

Whilst we are talking peaches today, I may as well talk about rather cool Pore Erasing Peach Base.
A fairly thick, dense mousse type textured primer (or can be used on its own if you have nice skin), it fills in the pores and creates a slightly matte, smooth finish.
The texture is very hard to explain. It does remind me of a very very dense mousse, one that has had practically all the air sucked out of it. So you have to use the spatula to get some of the product out, then warm it up in your hands, then apply to the face.
It is smoothing and it covers pores nicely. I have one big problem with it and its how ashy it makes your skin if you aren't light. I am a NC35 and this makes me look a little wan; if you are any darker, you will look like coco the clown – its more flattering on lighter skin tones, for sure.
There are 2 shades for this – 1 which is the shade you see and 2 which is a light green (for ruddy skin tones).
I can't help but feel this is a tad thick. I still used foundation on top of it (if not just to add some colour back to my face!) and it made it slide off.
Overall, I love the scent of this peachy base (although normally I hate scented base products – whats the need?!), I love the idea and the packaging, I'm not keen on the colour and I don't like its overly thick texture.
I'd recommend for light skinned ladies with drier skin, who just love little fuzzy peaches.
This is the ad for it – cute but if it were on my tv, it would take about 10 appearances before I started throwing mars bars and shoes at the screen:

Default to green
Stopping on a bike and restarting again has a similar effect on the cyclist to travelling hundreds of extra metres, so regularly stopping for junctions makes cycling less viable as a means of transport.
One of the many joys of cycling in this country is that the cycle paths allow you to make progress without stopping too often. There are many ways that this is arranged, including having the paths away from the roads and taking different routes. For instance, on most of our cycle journeys from home here we don't meet any traffic lights at all. I can cycle to the centre of the city seeing no traffic lights while driving there I would encounter a minimum of two sets. I can cycle to my dentist and meet one set of traffic lights, or drive there and go through five sets.
The video shows another example. At this traffic light junction the lights default to green for bikes and only switch directions to allow motorised vehicles to pass on the road if they drive up to the detector and wait for a while. They get a maximum of six seconds or so and then it's back to green for cyclists again. It's like a button controlled pedestrian or cyclist crossing, but in reverse. As you'll see in the video, I could cycle through this without stopping. I usually can.
There are other clever things done with traffic lights here, such as having a simultaneous green phase for bikes to go in all directions at once, which again increases the average speed of cyclists.
There are many other examples of traffic light junctions, things which make cycling more direct, and the intercity cycling superhighways for long distance commuters on this blog. This cycle path is part of my commuting route, and part of the reason why I commute so much quicker now than I used to.
This crossing features on our Study Tours.
A few years ago in the UK I measured the average time for a green for a motorist or pedestrian at a crossing near where we lived and found that while motorists had an average delay of under 8 s and a maximum of 30 s, pedestrians had an average delay of 38 s and a maximum of a minute. There are also crossings at which cyclists using a shared use path have to stop and press more than one button to cross a single road. Cambridge recently installed a junction with four button presses being required to cross a single road.

Hmm, lucky you. You should come to Eindhoven - or rather you shouldn't; it's the home of the traffic light and I don't escape them, even on a bike. They're everywhere - and they're red. Always. Bah!

Actually... we did look at houses in Eindhoven and at one point nearly bought a place in Nuenen. So, I've cycled there quite a lot too.
There are more lights, I agree. Also, some of the infrastructure is a little older (except in the new development in Meerhoven where it's all rather new and good).
However, there are also some really great bits around you too. The Kluizerpad path from Valkenswaard down to the Achelse Kluis monastery / brewery just over the Belgian border is surely a highlight. Also the Strabrechtse Heide is lovely and riding along the Wilheminakanaal to Oirschot seemed rather nice to us too.

You're quite right David; it's not the cycling I'm complaining about, just the number of lights between the edge of the city (where I live) and the centre (where I work). And sure as hell, there's no default to green on any of them. But apart from that, I love cycling throughout the south of NL.

Here in the U.S. bike paths often require stopping at intersections much more often than if you are riding on the road with auto traffic.
It can get very frustrating.

A post to the Hellgate: London Forums by a NAMCO BANDAI's Diane "Tiggs" Migliaccio indicates that despite recent indications that HanbitSoft is continuing development of Hellgate: London, the action/RPG will be going offline for the US and Europe at the end of January as previously announced, saying: "People are speculating and I don't want anyone shocked on January 31, 2009 when the server and forums shut down and there is nothing." She goes on to explain Hanbit does not have the rights to publish the game in the territories that NAMCO is going to stop supporting, saying: "Hanbit owns the IP and rights to publish anywhere other then the US and EU and I think the other territory is Japan. NAMCO owns the rights to publish in the US and EU." Thanks Mike Martinez and Gamasutra.

In a May 2011 survey of IT Business Edge members, conducted by Palmer Research, 85 percent of respondents cite improved employee efficiency as one of the most important benefits of mobile device connectivity, and 64 percent cite streamlined communications. Even with mobile connectivity high on their radar, though, fewer than 50 percent have set standards and support for some or all mobile devices in their organizations. For those who are developing a formal support structure, the average timeframe for completion is under 12 months for over 80 percent of respondents.
These organizations are planning to connect an average of 19,100 smartphones and/or tablets in the next 12 months, which creates an opportunity for even higher employee productivity. That is, if employees are able to access the necessary enterprise software. A recent IFS study conducted among manufacturing executives and professionals of middle market to large manufacturers found that while many respondents viewed the mobile interface as an important consideration in enterprise software selection, few respondents actually have access from their mobile device.

Cal Ripken was on the wrapper of a chocolate-caramel-crisped rice snack in 1993. Nearly a decade later Mike Mussina lent his name to a chocolate and peanut butter log called, "Moose Bar." Both regional confections were used to raise money for non-profit groups.
But there hasn't been a true national marriage of a baseball star and a candy bar since 1977, when Reginald Martinez Jackson said "I do," to the "Reggie" bar.
So to correct this massive oversight, here's five candy bars and their perfect pitchmen:
1) "Almond Joy," a bar for fans of Dodgers outfielder Manny Ramirez. Sometimes you feel like a nut and sometimes you just root for one.
2) "Snickers, Hall of Fame Edition," because who has given us more chuckles during the offseason than Yankee Alex Rodriguez?
3) "Mr. Goodbar," a party-down favorite of Sir Sidney Ponson.
4) "Whoppers," for fans who don't have trouble swallowing Roger Clemens' stories.
5) New and improved "Chunky," for folks who just can't get enough of CC Sabathia.
Speaking of chunky, the most humongous baseball player in major league history, according to Baseball Almanac, was Walter Young, a 2005 Oriole who tipped the scales at 315 pounds. The previous record holder was 295-pound pitcher Walter "Jumbo" Brown, who ended his career in 1941 with, appropriately, the Giants.

Tennessee Slow, Florida Out Front in Protecting Freshwater Turtles
Other Southern and Midwestern States Refuse to End Unsustainable Commercial Harvest of Wild Turtles
Wildlife Resources Commission is considering an emergency rulemaking petition
submitted by health and conservation groups to ban commercial harvest of wild
freshwater turtles from public and private waters throughout the state. The
Commission received the petition in March from the Center for Biological
Diversity, Center for North American
Herpetology, Center for Reptile and Amphibian Conservation and Management,
Center for Food Safety, Tennessee Chapter of the Sierra Club, Tennessee
Herpetological Society, Tennessee Scenic Rivers Association, and Save the
Cumberland. Tennessee is not expected to change harvest regulations, but
Florida's wildlife agency will vote today on finalizing a proposal banning most
commercial turtle harvest in private and public waters in
Over two dozen conservation and
public-health groups petitioned Tennessee and 11 other southern and midwestern
states in 2008 and 2009 to prohibit commercial turtle harvest - both to protect
dwindling populations of freshwater turtles and to protect human health. Turtles
sold domestically as food or exported to international food markets are often
contaminated with mercury, PCBs, and pesticides.
"The Asian turtle crisis has hit
Tennessee and
other states that have weak harvest regulations, and our native turtles are in
jeopardy," said Jeff Miller, a conservation advocate with the Center for
Biological Diversity. "To supply overseas demand for turtle meat and parts,
commercial harvesters are strip-mining streams of their turtles for the export
trade. This food trade is completely unregulated, and the potential health
implications due to turtles contaminated with carcinogenic toxins are
"For more than a decade Tennessee
has known of published contaminant studies from the Tennessee River showing
snapping turtles are contaminated with toxins and dangerous to eat," said Chris Jones, a conservation
attorney representing the petitioning groups. "We believe harvest numbers are
much greater than reported since the state does not monitor how many turtles are
harvested commercially. The demand for turtles in Asia is driving massive
exploitation of wild turtles, on a scale comparable to the buffalo slaughters of the
Florida is set to ban commercial turtle
harvest in public and private waters. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission in 2008 imposed a temporary, 20-turtle-a-day limit for commercial
fishermen while it reviewed harvest regulations. The Commission will vote today
on its proposed ban (which would allow licensed turtle farmers to continue to
take an unlimited quantity of broodstock turtles).
More than 25,000 turtles have been
collected from the wild in Tennessee in the past two years, and the state
recently permitted more commercial trapping of snapping turtles on private
ponds. A report published for the Commission in 2008 evaluated the status of
turtles in Reelfoot Lake, the only
body of water in Tennessee where all freshwater turtle species may be
harvested by legal methods. The report recommended considering eliminating turtle
harvest at the lake. The Commission continues to contemplate whether to
continue to allow unlimited harvest of eight native turtle species from this
lake and snapping turtles statewide. Tennessee is one of the only states that
has conducted bioaccumulation analyses of toxins in freshwater turtles, with
disturbing results.

In response to the petition,
Oklahoma in
2008 enacted a three-year moratorium on commercial harvest of turtles from
public waters while studying the status of its wild turtle populations, the
effects of commercial harvest, and the potential contamination of turtles sold
as food. In 2007, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department prohibited commercial
harvest of turtles from public waters in Texas. But it allowed continued
unlimited harvest of three native turtle species from the state's private
waters. Most of the state wildlife and health agencies petitioned for emergency
rulemaking to protect wild turtles and public health have refused to act.
Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, and South Carolina
have all denied the petition.
The South Carolina legislature passed a turtle
harvest bill in April 2009, the South Carolina Turtle Export Bill, which was
signed by the governor and is now law. The bill makes it unlawful to remove more
than 10 turtles from the wild in South
Carolina at one time and more than 20 turtles in one
year, for nine native species. This is an improvement, but because commercial
harvest is still allowed and will likely not be well monitored, it creates an
avenue for illegal export of turtles from the state. The
Georgia legislature introduced a bill
this year that would have eliminated harvest from public waters and allowed a
commercial harvest of 10 turtles per day from private waters. This bill did not
survive a house vote and will not be reviewed again until 2010. A bill that
would prohibit the sale, barter, or trade of turtles was being considered by a
subcommittee in the Iowa legislature but did not pass. Kentucky's wildlife
agency stated it will monitor commercial harvest of three turtle species and
review existing harvest restrictions to determine if they provide adequate
protection, and the state health department has agreed to test turtles sold as
food for contaminants.
Most wild turtles harvested in the
United States are exported to
supply food markets in Asia, primarily China, where turtle consumption rates
have soared and as a result, most native freshwater turtles have been driven to
extinction in the wild. Importers are now turning to the United States to
meet demand for turtle meat and parts, sold as an expensive delicacy and a
traditional Chinese medicine. Turtles are sold to Asian seafood markets in the
States as well. Many of these turtles are
harvested from streams under state and federal fish advisories and bans that
caution against and prohibit human consumption, due to aquatic contaminants that
are carcinogenic or harmful to humans such as DDT, PCBs, pesticides, mercury,
and other heavy metals. Turtles live longer and bioaccumulate considerably
greater amounts of aquatic contaminants than fish, particularly snapping and
softshell turtles that burrow in contaminated sediments.
Because freshwater turtles are long
lived (some may reach 150 years of age), breed late in life, and have low
reproductive and survival rates, they are highly vulnerable to overharvest.
Removing even a few adults from a stream can have a population effect lasting
for decades, since each adult turtle removed eliminates the reproductive
potential over a breeding life that may exceed 50 years. Stable turtle
populations are dependent on sufficient long-lived breeding adults to offset
natural mortality and human impacts. Commercial collecting of wild turtles
intensifies the effects of water pollution, road mortality, incidental take from
fishery devices, and habitat loss, which are already contributing to turtle
declines. Scientists warn that freshwater turtles can not sustain any
significant level of harvest from the wild without leading to population
State wildlife
agencies in Mississippi, North Carolina, and Alabama have prohibited commercial take of
wild freshwater turtles. Wildlife biologists from states with bans have advised
neighboring states to ban harvest also, since wildlife traffickers illegally
collect turtles in states where they are protected and claim they were collected
in states where harvest is still legal. Most states do not survey to determine densities of turtle
populations or require commercial collectors to report the quantity and species
of turtles harvested from the wild.

information on the commercial harvest of freshwater turtles can be found on the

QX3 Time-Lapse Movie Gallery
Phenanthroline is a tri-nuclear aromatic nitrogen heterocycle that is commonly used to form a complex with ferrous ions. This complex is termed "Ferroin", and is used as an indicator in oxidation-reduction systems like the titration of ferrous salts. Phenanthroline is also used in the determination of nickel, ruthenium, silver, and other heavy metals. When recrystallized from the melt, will slowly crystallize, forming beautiful dendritic needle-like crystals. The time-lapse movie was made using a modified version of the Intel Play QX3 microscope equipped for polarized light illumination with a full-wave (first order) retardation plate.

Hadassah-Brandeis Institute welcomes interns for summer 2012
Eight students explore the fields of Jewish women's and gender studies
The Hadassah-Brandeis Institute (HBI) welcomed eight student interns on June 11 for the 14th year of the HBI Summer Internship Program. Funded by the Jim Joseph Foundation and an anonymous donor, the internship provides college students, recent graduates and graduate students with a paid opportunity to explore the fields of Jewish women's and gender studies.
The students work with HBI researchers and Brandeis and Boston-area faculty. The internship is supervised by Brandeis graduate student Rachel Bernstein, who also leads the interns on weekly outings to research archives and local places of Jewish interest. A highlight of the internship is the students' creation of independent research projects that align with HBI's mission to develop fresh ideas about Jews and gender worldwide.The eight students are enrolled at Brandeis University as well as Smith College, Mount Holyoke College, Oberlin College, Rollins College and the Polish Academy of Sciences.
"The interns choose amazing, original questions to investigate," said Brandeis professor Shulamit Reinharz, founding director of the HBI. "The staff learns a lot from them and looks forward to the end of the summer when all of the interns present their work."
Aislinn Bentacourt, a recent graduate of Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla, is examining the impact of second-wave feminism on Judaism's views on reproductive rights. She hopes to spend time next year learning about Islam's views, which she can then put in comparative perspective.
Several of the students are interested in sexual identity among Jews. Katy Swartz is focusing on the intersection of multiple identities among gay and lesbian members of the Jewish community and how they navigate their multiple minority statuses. A related project by Sydney Sadur hopes to bring attention to the narratives of transgender-identified Jews and their relationship to their faith.
Alicja Podbielska, a graduate student from the Polish Academy of Sciences, is exploring the role of gender in the representation of people who risked their lives during the Holocaust to save Jews. When her work is complete, she plans to send it to Jerusalem's Yad Vashem, a Holocaust memorial and research center, which is only now beginning to explore gender factors related to the Holocaust.
After the summer ends, the interns continue to stay in touch with the HBI. As former intern Elizabeth Marder of Hobart and William Smith Colleges wrote, "Jewish studies is a topic that was new to me and now has become an important framework through which I see the world. At the same time, the internship helped foster a strong connection with my Jewish identity."

I'm a bit puzzled. During my time we were all supplied with shoes as part of our uniform, and they certainly weren't Dr Martens. I remember them well, and how they were thrown at us in some random sort of trial and error method. It's probably why I've got wonky feet now.For over 80 years, Christ's Hospital School in Horsham has required students to wear Dr. Martens' 1461 classic 3-eye shoe as part of their school uniform.
I'm guessing that parents have to supply shoes for their kids now.

Roadmap for completing the single market for parcel delivery – frequently asked questions
(see also IP/13/1254)
1. Why is the European Commission adopting this Roadmap?
The communication is a follow-up to last year's Green Paper on 'an integrated parcel delivery market for the growth of e-commerce in the EU' (IP/12/1289). With this initiative the Commission aims to support the development of e-commerce through a set of actions improving parcel delivery. The Commission places particular emphasis on the cross-border delivery of parcels, on the needs of SMEs, as well as on less-advanced and accessible regions, arguing that e-commerce must be accessible to all citizens and to all businesses, regardless of their size and location.
E-commerce is one of the main drivers of a more prosperous and competitive Europe, with a significant potential for contributing to economic growth and employment. Between 2013 and 2016, e-commerce is expected to reach an annual growth rate of more than 10% across the EU.
The European Commission's Communication on e-commerce identified the physical delivery of goods ordered online as one of the key elements for e-commerce growth. Delivery is the final link in the e-commerce chain – goods bought online need to be physically delivered to the customer. Delivery services offered by e-retailers are therefore one of the fundamental factors influencing a consumer's decision to shop with them. Currently, delivery and product returns are amongst the top concerns of both e-shoppers and e-retailers in the EU1. Problems with delivery represent the bulk of consumer complaints regarding online cross-border transactions received by the European Consumer Centres Network2.
Following the adoption of the Green Paper, a broad consensus has emerged among all parties concerned, both on the issues identified and on the urgent need to address them.
2. What are the main actions the roadmap envisages?
The roadmap attributes specific tasks and roles to the various stakeholders in order to achieve these objectives. Actions include:
3. What are the main issues and challenges concerning (cross-border) delivery?
Delivery is a key factor in the overall development of e-commerce. Yet the expectations and needs of consumers and e-retailers are not always met in terms of speed, quality, reliability or cost of delivery. Consumers complain about long delivery times and the lack of information about the delivery process. They frequently consider prices for cross-border delivery, and delivery to rural or remote areas, to be excessive. They complain about products being damaged or not delivered at all3, and about delivery of the wrong products. They are also often unaware of available complaints and redress mechanisms if things go wrong. In some countries, consumers also complain about lack of available delivery solutions. E-retailers, in particular smaller ones, often do not have enough information on the delivery services available and have a limited choice of delivery solutions of the quality (e.g. track-and-trace functionalities, flexible last-mile delivery options) and affordability required.
Key facts and figures
Delivery services are subject to a variety of rules and regulations, but the existing EU regulatory framework does not address the full set of issues and challenges concerning e-commerce related delivery set out above. Traditional postal markets have always been dominated by domestic traffic, and operational processes, including IT systems, have been optimised in the light of domestic circumstances. In the past cross-border flows concerned mainly letter mail, and the Postal Services Directive has helped ensure that the quality of those flows has increased significantly over time. By contrast, cross-border parcel flows – especially B2C (business to consumer) – have not played any significant role prior to the emergence of e-commerce.
4. What are the main results of the public consultation?
The Green Paper identified the main areas where the problems and challenges faced by e-retailers and consumers in the EU need to be addressed. It focused on:
(i) "Convenience"/quality of delivery service for consumers and SMEs across the EU (delivery times, return procedures, possible damage sustained in the course of the delivery and lack of transparency);
(ii) Prices (more cost-effective delivery solutions for consumers and SMEs) and
(iii) Interoperability (improved interoperability of delivery services between operators, and between operators and e-retailers). The stakeholders' views and contributions received by the Commission in response to the Green Paper consultation can be summarised as follows:
There is a broad consensus between policy-makers and stakeholders that, due to the complexity of this market, its fast-changing character, and the considerable extent of process and product innovation that can be observed, regulatory intervention at this stage is not warranted. The Commission considers it should work with industry, national policy-makers and national regulators to find solutions through a roadmap with actions to address these issues.
5. What are the objectives of the roadmap and what has been achieved so far?
The Green Paper consultation confirmed the urgent need to address the challenges and issues of e-commerce related parcel delivery, and the prospect of addressing these issues in joint responsibility had an impact on all parties concerned. Delivery operators, e-retailers and consumer organisations have engaged in constructive discussions at various dedicated conferences and other fora. Many operators have started to develop solutions that might better correspond to the expectations of their customers. Complementary initiatives are co-ordinated at EU level.
Building on the progress already made since the adoption of the Green Paper, the Roadmap aims to guide and organise the way forward within three main objectives:
The roadmap envisages a number of improvements for the different players in these areas, which need to be addressed from different angles and with the help of different stakeholders. Through the Roadmap, the Commission aims to ensure that tangible improvements are made as quickly as possible. Action is required to provide e-retailers and consumers with high-quality, accessible and affordable parcel delivery services in cross-border delivery, taking account of the needs of SMEs and of less-advanced or accessible regions including outermost regions.
6. What is the link between the Roadmap and other Commission initiatives?
The roadmap is a follow-up to the Green Paper on parcel delivery. The need for an initiative on parcel delivery originates in the conclusions of the European Commission's e-Commerce Communication of January 2012 (see IP/12/10), which showed clearly that delivery services, together with functioning payment services14, remain one of the main concerns for future growth of e-commerce and one of the missing links when it comes to the completion of the fully functioning digital single market. A number of other EU actions have confirmed that parcel delivery as part of e-commerce needs to be further addressed. Both the Council of the EU in its Conclusions of 31/5/2012 on the Digital Single Market and Governance of the Single Market and the European Parliament report on the Digital Single Market underlined the urgent need to address the concerns linked to delivery of parcels.
The roadmap is also closely linked to a number of on-going EU initiatives launched under the Europe 2020 strategy for growth & jobs and represents an integral part of actions that should contribute to the completion of the digital single market. In the area of consumer protection, the new Consumer Rights Directive, will have to be implemented by the Member States by June 2014, and the recently adopted Directive on alternative dispute resolutions for consumer disputes will further improve the way in which consumer complaints are dealt with. The roadmap also complements related initiatives in the transport sector, such as the key policy initiatives set out in the Commission's White Paper "Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area", and notably the e-freight initiative15.
7. What are the next steps?
The Roadmap attributes specific tasks and roles to the various stakeholders. In order to attain these objectives, a strong commitment by all actors concerned is required. The Commission will facilitate this collaborative process through dedicated fora and workshops, and will closely monitor progress. It will monitor and supervise progress on a regular basis and take stock after 18 months in order to assess whether additional measures are needed.
More precisely, the Commission will:
identify additional measures should the implementation and impact of this Roadmap stay below expectations.

For example, Commission Staff Working Document with a view to establishing guidance on the application of Article 20(2) of Directive 2006/123/EC on services in the internal market ('the Services Directive') of 8 June 2012, already clarified in point 5 that the lack of alternatives for delivery can rarely be invoked by a service provider to refuse supply to a given Member State. For parcel deliveries up to 20 kg, the Postal Services Directive imposes an obligation on Member States to ensure the provision of universal postal services, including cross-border.
