Vehicle Leasing Options
Leasing Advantages
- Lower monthly payments
- Term options and variable kilometer options
- Standard Gap Protection
- Single-Pay Option
- Flexible lease-end options
- More disposable income
- A new vehicle more often
- Convenience of pre-authorized payment
Walk-Away Lease
The "walk away" (or Closed-End) Lease allows you to make a set number of monthly payments for any term ranging from 24 to 60 months, with a limit to the amount of kilometers that can be driven during the lease term. You also remain responsible for excess wear and tear to the vehicle.
Unlimited Kilometer Lease (Commercial Customers Only)
In the "unlimited kilometer" (or Open-End) Lease, commercial customers can also make a set number of monthly payments for any term ranging from 24 to 60 months, but without kilometer restrictions. However, at the end of an Open-End Lease you become responsible for the value of the vehicle. This option is not available in all provinces.
Single Pay Option
The Single Pay Option lets you make all of your monthly lease payments up front, offering a discounted payment over a traditional monthly lease payment.
Lease-End Options
You can choose from a number of options at the end of your lease term:
- Return your vehicle to your dealer, pay any fees and charges, and lease or buy a new vehicle
- Extend your current lease [1]
- Buy your vehicle at the predetermined Purchase Option Price as stated on your lease agreement [2] (we can finance this purchase for you [2]).

Miss Zoot brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 153 Designs von 24 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Essentially I'm a blogger veteran who is starting to get outside work in writing and photography and I'm looking to brand the both together.
I'd like a logo that is articstic and clean. I'd like it to be more focused on creative yet modern typography and less on graphics. However, I would like something besides just "zoot". I'm a fan of a clean design but no real limitation on colors. I tend to avoid neons and primary colors, but I'm not against them. I'd like the logo to be applied to a business card design that would involve the subtitle: "writer.photographer.mother" as a way to incorporate my blog/writing/photography all into the logo.
- Logo design with the name "zoot" - I prefer all lowercase, but I'm open to "Zoot" as well.
- Subtitle on logo "writer.photographer.mother."
- Any Additional Graphics should be clean and simple, circles and dots are good.
- Color Choice: Unlimited, mainly just Fun and Clean
- Business card design with the following URLs: http://www.misszoot.com (for the writing) and flickr.com/misszoot (for the photos). (Front and Back) (Other information: name, phone number will be given to winner)
- Re: Business Card Design: I'd like it to be as interesting as possible. If you have a unique shape in mind I'm not bound to the normal dimensions.
- Ideally the logo should be of a design that could be transferred to other items (notepads, magnets, keychains) for swag at conferencesDeliverables Needed for winner (All logo files need to be high res so that signs can be printed (usually 11x13) for table displays):
- Logo: Layered RGB file in Photoshop PSD format.
- Logo: flattened JPEG version
- Logo: CMYK version in PDF format.
- Logo: Pantone versions: black/grayscale (for b/w printing) and also a one-color pantone (color selected by designer) - both can be in JPG as they are mainly for print use.
- Business Card: CMYK/PDF front and back (information given to winner).
- Other than the word "mother" in the subtitle, I want no other cutesy motherhood iconography.
- Nothing too frilly. I like an artistic flair to a design, but nothing with an excess of flowers or curls or hearts.

Usually on land, when you have risk of high speed impacts, well designed helmets are as substantial as feasible to address those impacts. This means multiple foam components, usually a thick polystyrene (EPS) or styrofoam foam layer that "self destroy" or crush on a single impact conveying impact protection through energy conversion and a substantial shell. Styrofoam works very well for this. There is a problem though.
EPS is for single impacts, it was thought water users would have more frequent impacts. This would mean discarding helmets after impact even lesser ones. For this and other reasons "multiple impact" foams have been developed for water activities for sometime. Many think EPS excels multiple impact foams in impact related energy management. At the same time, the water helmet market appears to be focused on multiple impact foam.
How does a helmet work? This is what they Snell Institute has to say about it.
"How do helmets work?
Helmets are normally comprised of four elements; a rigid outer shell, a crushable liner, chin straps or a retaining system and fit or comfort padding. The rigid outer shell when present adds a load-spreading capability, and prevents objects from penetrating the helmet. It's kind of like an additional skull. The liner, usually made of EPS (expanded polystyrene) or similar types of materials absorbs the energy of an impact by crushing. The chin strap when properly buckled and adjusted along with the fit padding helps the helmet remain in position during a crash.
Helmets work kind of like a brake or shock absorber. During a fall or crash a head is traveling at a certain speed. Since the head has weight, and is moving there is a certain amount of energy associated with the moving head. When the helmet along with the accompanying head impact an unyielding object; a rock, a wall, a curb or the ground the hard shell starts by taking the energy generated by the falling helmet (head) and spreads it over a larger portion of the helmet, specifically the internal foam liner. The foam liner then starts to crush and break which uses up a lot of the energy, keeping it from reaching the head inside. Depending on how fast the head is traveling, and how big, heavy and immovable the object is the faster the head slows down, and the more energy is present. In short everything slows down really quickly. A helmet will effectively reduce the speed of the head by breaking and crushing which reduces the amount of energy transferred to the brain. The whole process take only milliseconds to turn a potentially lethal blow into a survivable one."
Still more with focus on water helmets as opposed to EPS foam models at:
There are lots of good (read: bad) reasons for wearing a helmet in the posts on this forum. One in particular worth looking over is AJ's story:
A helmet article from The Kiteboarder
A SBC Kiteboard article on helmets
A fairly low speed but tragically fatal impact involving an advanced kiter

icebird wrote:I'm all for wearing helmets while kiting.
But to get the discussion into perspective the standards approved helmets are for kayakers rolling over and hitting a rock, not kiters flying through the air at 50km/t.
So helmets reduce injury, but they are not appropriate for the chosen activity. Bicycle and motorcycle helmets self-destroy on impact, water helmets do not.

Helmet use is just another choice. Some guys do and some guys don't. It is a function of injury and perception of risk aided by industry example and contest regulations, if any. Look at the adoption of helmets in many other activities you'll see parallels.
Some riders might still be here today if they had helmets on while kiting, not all but certainly some. Some guys are still here today or suffered lesser injury because of helmets in kiting.
Things to consider in looking for a kitesurfing helmet:
1. Good, snug and comfortable fit.
2. Close fit and close contour resulting in low drag without avoidable projections (e.g. fixed visors/bills).
3. Light weight.
4. Well padded with suitable material for impact absorption without creating excessive bulk and drag.
5. Good drainage/fit characteristics to reduce water retention
and bucketing potential.
6. A good hard shell for impact dispersal and penetration resistance. Kevlar/high strength composites may offer better penetration resistance than ABS plastic.
7. Strong, corrosion resistant fastenings in an effective retention system.

Original article:
Ärzte fordern Helmpflicht für Kite-Surfer
In den Sommermonaten vergeht kaum ein Tag, an dem nicht ein verunglückter Kite-Surfer in die Notaufnahme des Greifswalder Universitätsklinikums gebracht wird.
Der Greifswalder Bodden gilt als Insider-Tipp für die Trendsportler, er liegt quasi vor der Klinikumstür. "In der Hochsaison sehen wir jeden Tag einen verletzten Kiter", berichtet der Leiter der Unfallchirurgie, Axel Ekkernkamp. Das Spektrum der Verletzungen ist weit gefächert: Schnittverletzungen an Händen oder Füßen, Zerrungen, Brüche, Knie- oder Kopfverletzungen. "Was uns Kummer macht, ist die schwerste Verletzung - der Tod", sagt der Vizepräsident der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Unfallchirurgie.
Nach Einschätzung der Mediziner sind die Unfallzahlen beim Kite-Surfen in den letzten Jahren deutlich angestiegen. Der Grund: Der Trendsport findet immer mehr Zuspruch - auch bei weniger Geübten. Unfallmediziner wie Ekkernkamp sprechen sich deshalb analog zu ähnlichen Forderungen im Skisport für eine Helmpflicht für Kiter aus, um vor allem die schweren Unfälle zu minimieren. Zudem sollten strengere Zugangsvoraussetzungen für das Kiten gelten - die Ärzte fordern einen verbindlichen Führerschein. Spektakuläre Unfälle an der Ostseeküste wie 2002 der Tod der amtierenden Kite-Weltmeisterin vor Zingst sind Gesprächsthema in der Szene: Die Lenkdrachen der 26-Jährigen und eines weiteren Sportlers hatten sich ineinander verfangen. Die Surferin wurde mit rasanter Geschwindigkeit über das Wasser und dann über zwei Holzbuhnen gezogen. Sie erlitt ein Polytrauma und starb noch am Unfallort. Rechtsmediziner wie Eberhard Lignitz und Unfallchirurgen der Uni Greifswald beschreiben in einer aktuellen Studie die Schwere und Vielfalt typischer Kite-Verletzungen. Erst vor einer Woche wurde eine Frau bei Wismar von einer Windböe mit ihrem Kite-Segel in die Luft gerissen und erlitt schwere Kopfverletzungen.
Studien zufolge ist das Verletzungsrisiko beim Kiten mit fünf bis sieben Verletzungen pro 1000 Stunden Sport vergleichbar mit dem beim Skifahren, wie der Unfallchirurg Jörn Lange berichtet. Im Vergleich zu Kontaktsportarten wie Fußball (20 Verletzungen auf 1000 Stunden) oder Eishockey (43 Verletzungen auf 1000 Stunden) scheint die Verletzungsgefahr zunächst gering. Andere Untersuchungen belegen jedoch, dass gerade der Kopf des Kiters nach den Fuß- und Sprunggelenken mit 13,7 Prozent zu den am häufigsten verletzten Körperregionen zählt. "Der Unfall von Dieter Althaus hat die Skifahrer sensibilisiert, einen Helm zu tragen", sagt Lange.
Der Extremsport liegt im Trend. Nach Schätzungen des Verbandes Deutscher Wassersportschulen (VDWS) gibt es in Deutschland inzwischen rund 15 000 aktive Kite-Surfer, von denen rund 7500 ihre Ausbildung mit einer Lizenz bei einem VDWS-zertifizierten Lehrer abgeschlossen haben. Wo die anderen Kiter den Sport erlernen ist unbekannt. "Die Unfälle beschäftigen auch uns", sagte VDWS-Sprecher Claus Baalmann. Der Verband spricht sich für eine Helmempfehlung aus. Eine Pflicht zum Kopfschutz geht dem Verband jedoch zu weit. "Wir setzen auf die Selbstverantwortung des Sportlers", sagt Baalmann.
In der Kite-Szene wird die von Forschern geforderte Helmpflicht als kaum durchsetzbar angesehen. Der Plastikhelm gilt als uncool. "Wer einen Helm und Schutzweste trägt, gilt in der Szene als Anfänger", gibt der durch den VDWS zertifizierte Kite-Lehrer Janko Borgwardt aus Born auf dem Darß die weitverbreitete Meinung der Kiter wieder. Für den Betreiber der Kite-Schule ProBoarding in Klein Zicker (Rügen), Haiko Milke, bieten Helme eine trügerische Sicherheit. Statt auf Helm setzt Milke, dessen Schule in diesem Jahr rund 100 Kiter ausbildete, auf ein konsequentes Sicherheitstraining. "Damit es erst gar nicht zu Unfällen kommt." Ein "Führerschein" - wie von den Unfallexperten vorgeschlagen - ist aus Sicht der Kite-Lehrer der bessere Weg, um Unfälle zu minimieren. Schon jetzt geben Kite-Schulen wie ProBoarding Ausrüstungen nur heraus, wenn Schüler eine Lizenz nachweisen können.
Unfallchirurgen wie Axel Ekkernkamp reicht das angesichts der extremen Geschwindigkeiten der Kiter auf dem Wasser nicht aus. "Ich bleibe dabei: Kiten nur mit Helm."

Quite a few kiters like to use helmets for that reason alone as you anticipated. Others bothered by changes in their hearing take off removable ear covers on helmets that are set up with that option. Some of these posts show up at: http://tinyurl.com/2v4t9dc, I recall mention of quite a few others beyond these.
Something I think many of us would agree on, if you are lofted from the water or the beach inland, when you strike, often several times, you are at risk of a head injury. People break all sorts of things in these loftings. Guys may break their pelvis, arms, legs, collar bones and suffer traumatic brain injury sometimes and sometimes not. Sometimes the TBI is severe and in others milder? Why is this? Lofting impacts differ, you never know in advance how bad it is going to be and what might be messed up.
Of the 24 losses worldwide that happened in 2009 that I have learned of, 16 were loftings with many in severe weather/squalls. Over all 19 of these tragic losses may (or may not) have been altered if helmets had been worn. In some impacts a helmet would make little difference and yet it others, even powerful loftings, they can lessen injury, even save someones life.

I realize that this is difficult, but...
As you go through your data for kiting injuries and deaths are you able to project a guesstimate at how many of these people would likely have been fine if they had been wearing a helmet?
We'll never know. The variables are too numerous and in some cases complex. The problem is further compounded by information limitations in these sad accidents. I made a reasonable estimate within the constraints of the data in my opening post here.
There are a number fatalities particularly some in low wind speeds that suggest helmet use might have made a major difference.
Such as:
A fatality in 11 to 12 kts. involving a kiter with several years experience after he hit a rock on the shore.
A rider with about four years experience was walking back in about 12 kts. after doing a short downwinder. He was lofted and dragged into a rock covered swale at relatively low speed and suffered serious head injury. He remained in a coma for 11 days and died. Many local kiters started using helmets as a result of this accident.
A fatal board leash impact in the absence of a helmet.
A new kiter caught by a summer squall, tea bagged across the beach, lofted into a tree and dropped to the pavement. He entered into at least a 5 week coma but eventually came out of it with what may be lasting cognitive impairment.
Survivorship and injury in higher wind speeds and impacts become more problematic but may still within reason. I am not sure how fast I was going when I bounced off a house. Breaking through 50 or so feet of seagrape trees thankfully slowed me down. Despite that I still covered 150 ft. horizontally, slammed into a wood rail, was wearing an old skateboarding helmet with poor padding and still lived. I even recovered fully in time. So, helmets can do some remarkable things even in higher speed impacts at times. If you slam full on head first into something hard at 40 mph, I would guess it would be unlikely a helmet would do much good for you. It is like asking will a seatbelt save your life in a 100 mph collision with a massive concrete wall? You also have neck fractures to worry about which can be lethal all by themselves independent of traumatic brain injury. Still, it goes back to the question, "what sort of accident are you going to have?"
"Do you wear a helmet? WHY? / WHY NOT?"
"accident with helmets"
RickI wrote:Kiters have impacts with a lot more than boards, things like sand, rocks, trees, cars, buildings, stuff floating in the water, walls, roads, curbs, boats and more. If you think a board impact is the only kind you need to be concerned with, you are wrong. If you are traveling fast enough and hit hard enough a helmet likely may not do you much good. Guys have died with helmets on after all, they aren't magic. Then again there have been some horrific loftings where guys wore no helmet and yet lived. There have been short lofting/draggings with fairly low speed impacts against rock with loss of life or coma against sand, again without helmets. There have been cases in which helmets did provide benefit in kiting impacts. Looking at other impact prone activites like bike riding, it doesn't take much imagination to see the benefits in kiting aside from accident and incident stories.
Regarding a helmet contributing to whiplash, maybe, particularly if it was ill suited to kiting, has excessive weight, drag has poor fit or is improperly secured. Consider this, surfers get whiplash with no helmet, water skiers do too even more commonly. Kiting is a whiplash rich environment, lets face it. I understand you can even get whiplash from dancing? How about blasting into the water at 25 mph from a jump to 30 ft. or less? If folks have a preexisting injury or neck weakness kiting may not be for them.
It is up to the rider whether to choose to wear a helmet or not but try to use accurate information in making up your mind.RickI wrote:I disagree, it isn't a one in a billion chance, the odds of a kiter having an impact are far more likely. Next August I will have been kiting for 14 years. In that time I've had a number of board bumps but none that serious. I have been luckier than some in that regard. I have had a number of collisions or near collisions with other hard objects making me very grateful for what protection a good helmet offers. Most have been long in the past but not all.
The accident experience shows impact with boards is not the number one hazard without board leashes. The wind comes up, a line breaks or gets tangled on you, your bar or debris, you attach lines in reverse, pick your bar upside down, you wrap a wingtip or with another kiter, you come too close to something, make a bad judgment, oversteer, boost too close to ?, mess up a landing, you have a bad launch, get rotored by wind shadow, someone grabs your bar, etc. etc.. It happens and the more advanced you are the more you may be pushing the envelop, that means higher risk of burning in. This is obvious and for years most of the dead kiters had years of experience, overconfidence and complacence taking a toll. Helmets don't assure lack of problems or injury but they can help.
Drooling with traumatic brain injury or having the recall of a child with a robotic voice due to damaged speech control centers, laying on a bed pan in the ICU and experiencing all the diminished function be it temporary God willing or in some cases permanent isn't sexy, good looking or desirable either. There are lots of cases out there like that. Avoiding and managing accidents can often involve getting your head straight and making the right choices. Worry about how your hair looks may not be high on the list if things go south. Ask AJ, I think he would agree.
There are still more, just need to go over my information.

Press Release: Assembly Bill to Regulate Ammunition to Be Introduced on Monday
Editor's note: As this issue is published, we're delighted to learn that on Monday a new bill for the California legislature which does exactly what we've asked in yesterday's editorial will be introduced, as described in the following press release:
OAKLAND, CA – To curb gun violence, mass shootings and the stockpiling of ammunition, State Assemblymember Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley) and supporters will unveil legislation, AB 48, to establish oversight of California's ammunition marketplace.
"When will deadly ammunition be viewed as a risk to public safety?" Skinner said. "If common cold medicines, alcohol and tobacco are regulated for their risk to public health and safety, why isn't ammunition? Assembly Bill 48 will place boundaries on the bullets that have ravaged our communities."
Assemblymember Skinner and supporters will announce legislation, AB 48, to regulate and tighten ammunition sales in California and ban high-capacity magazines.
This bill will:
- Regulate all ammunition sales,
- Require ammunition purchasers to show identification,
- Require ammunition sellers to be licensed dealers,
- Require ammunition sellers to report sales to the Department of Justice,
- Ban kits to convert ammunition clips into high-capacity magazines.

Elihu M. Harris State Building
1515 Clay St., Oakland
Attendees will observe a moment of silence for victims of the Newtown, Conn. tragedy. Attendees will hold signs stating "Stop Gun Violence: Regulate Ammunition."
Last year, Skinner authored Assembly Bill 2512, which would have required large ammunition purchases to be reported to local law enforcement. Her bill also sought to close a loophole in the assault weapons law allowing individuals to have high-capacity magazines, like those found on the alleged shooter in Newtown, Connecticut.
Elected in 2008, Assemblymember Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley) represents the 15th Assembly District, which includes the cities and communities of Hercules, Pinole, El Sobrante, San Pablo, Richmond, El Cerrito, Kensington, Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville, Piedmont and parts of Oakland. Skinner serves as Chair of the Assembly Rules Committee.

Research Interest
My research focuses on the theme of muscle biology, currently spanning from the gross to the molecular levels of analysis. I have a long standing interest in the flight of bats, in part motivated out of curiosity about how bat muscles produce high frequency, powerful movements, and yet remain remarkably resistant to fatigue. Our studies have identified recruitment patterns, histochemical profiles, and physiological characteristics of the major flight muscles in a number of bat species. Recently, our laboratory has been performing an integrated structural-functional analysis of the appendicular muscles in horses and bats, as well as in a diversity of other species. The goal of these studies is to develop a comparative biology of muscle in several of Nature's better "athletes." For horses, our goal is not only to understand the biomechanics of locomotion. But, we also look at possible muscle involvement in gait abnormalities. In both horses and bats, we have sought to correlate specializations of the major contractile protein, myosin, with phylogenetic or architectural/functional constraints. In all these somewhat divergent studies, the major themes come back to the role of muscle groups in locomotion, and the elucidation of interactions between nerves and muscles in affecting the phenotype of mature muscle.

An example of why I like this place
- June 27th, 2008
- Write comment
Monkey Hanger is the affectionate term by which Hartlepudlians are often known by other residents of Great Britain.
According to local folklore, during the Napoleonic wars, a French ship of the type chasse marée (literally, tide-chaser) was wrecked off the coast of Hartlepool. The only survivor was a monkey, wearing a French uniform (presumably to provide amusement for those onboard the ship). On finding the monkey, some locals decided to hold an impromptu trial on the beach; since the monkey was unable to answer their questions, they concluded that it was a French spy. The animal was thus sentenced to death and hanged from the mast of a fishing boat on the Headland. Nowadays, many Hartlepudlians have positively embraced the term, and only a small minority still consider the term 'Monkey Hanger' offensive. It is often used to refer to supporters of Hartlepool United Football Club by supporters of their arch rivals Darlington.
In 2002, Stuart Drummond campaigned for the office of Mayor of Hartlepool in the costume of the local football team's mascot, 'H'Angus the Monkey'. He narrowly won. His election slogan had been "free bananas for schoolchildren", a promise he was unable to keep. Despite this, he stood again three years later and won with a landslide victory.

Trainer McGaughey closing in on Derby try with Orb
By AP's Richard Rosenblatt
Send a link to a friend
[February 27, 2013]
Shug McGaughey catches Derby fever every once in a while, and the Hall of Fame trainer just might have it again thanks to a 3-year-old colt named Orb.
Sure, it's more than two months before the Kentucky Derby, but it's never too early to start planning for a trip to Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May.
Orb rallied in the stretch for a half-length win over favorite Violence in Saturday's Fountain of Youth at Gulfstream Park for his third straight victory. The result moved the bay colt into the No. 5 slot in the AP's latest Run to the Roses list of Top 10 Derby contenders.
Even though McGaughey admits he's excited about a chance to win his first Derby
-- he's 0-for-6 in four Derbys, including a second-place finish with Easy Goer in 1989
-- he's trying to remain his usual low-key self.
"If he keeps improving, maybe he'll be something," the trainer said after confirming Orb came out of the race in good shape and is likely headed next to the Florida Derby on March 30. "He's come so far over the winter. My people have done a great job with him."
Violence, meanwhile, is off the Derby trail after breaking a bone in his right front ankle during the race. The colt trained by Todd Pletcher was ranked fourth last week, but Pletcher still has four in the Top 10, including No. 1 Shanghai Bobby. His others are Verrazano, Overanalyze and Revolutionary.
This weekend's Derby prep is Saturday's 1 1/16-mile Gotham at Aqueduct. Among the probable starters are Overanalyze, Vyjack, Honorable Dillon, Escapefromreality, Siete de Oros and Ore Pass.
McGaughey's last try at the Derby was 2002, when Saarland finished 10th. Before that, it was favorite Easy Goer second and Awe Inspiring third in
'89, Seeking the Gold seventh in '88 and Pine Circle and Vanlandingham, sixth and 16th, respectively, in 1984.
Asked if he's worried about the Derby, McGaughey replied: "I've been worried about it since I started rubbing horses in 1972."
Here's our Top 10:
1. Shanghai Bobby (Todd Pletcher, Rosie Napravnik): Worked 4 furlongs in 49.61 Monday at Palm Meadows, his second breeze since running second in Holy Bull. ... 2-year-old champion is a son of Harlan's Holiday (seventh in the 2002 Derby). ... Next start: Florida Derby, Gulfstream Park, March 30. ... Derby Future Wager odds: 14-1.
2. Itsmyluckyday (Eddie Plesa Jr., Elvis Trujillo): Remains on target for another showdown with Shanghai Bobby. ... Holy Bull winner worked 4 furlongs in 48.77 Saturday at Calder. ... Next start: Florida Derby. ... Odds: 13-1.
[to top of second column]
3. Goldencents (Doug O'Neill, Kevin Krigger): Sham winner worked 6 furlongs in 1:10.40 last week at Santa Anita. ... Son of Into Mischief has won three of four starts for trainer of 2012 Derby, Preakness winner I'll Have Another. ... Next start: San Felipe, Santa Anita, March 9. ... Odds: 20-1.
4. Verrazano (Pletcher, John Velazquez): Worked 5 furlongs in 59.21 Monday at Palm Meadows. ... Has two wins at Gulfstream by combined 24 lengths. ... Next start: Tampa Bay Derby, Tampa Bay Downs, March 9. ... Odds: 11-1.
5. Orb (Shug McGaughey, Velazquez): McGaughey looking at first Derby runner since Saarland in
'02. ... Made it three in a row with half-length win in Fountain of Youth. ... Next start: Florida Derby. ... Odds: 8-5 (mutuel field).
6. Flashback (Bob Baffert, Julien Leparoux): Worked 6 furlongs in 1:11 Monday at Santa Anita. ... Robert B. Lewis winner owned by Gary and Mary West. ... Next start: San Felipe. ... Odds: 12-1.
7. Super Ninety Nine (Baffert, Rafael Bejarano): Southwest winner is 2-for-2 and needs to impress in next start for Derby consideration ... Could run next at either Oaklawn or home at Santa Anita. ... Next start: Undecided. Odds: 47-1.
8. Overanalyze (Pletcher, Velazquez): Johnny V could be facing some tough choices for his Derby mount. ... Remsen winner worked 4 furlongs in 48.75 Monday at Palm Meadows. ... Next start: Gotham, Aqueduct, Saturday. ... Odds: 33-1.
9. Revolutionary (Pletcher, Javier Castellano): Withers winner worked 4 furlongs in 48.43 Monday at Palm Meadows. ... A big race in next start could see him move up in rankings. ... Next start: Tampa Bay Derby. ... Odds: 13-1.
10. Ive Struck A Nerve: (Keith Desormeaux, James Graham): Sneaks in after winning Risen Star at odds of 135-1. ... Had done little of note previously, but merits consideration for now. ... Next start: Louisiana Derby, Fair Grounds, March 30. ... Odds: 8-5 (mutuel field).
Keep an eye on: Code West, Den's Legacy, Dynamic Sky, Oxbow, Uncaptured.

Emily Badger
Emily Badger is a former staff writer at CityLab. Her work has previously appeared in Pacific Standard, GOOD, The Christian Science Monitor, and The New York Times. She lives in the Washington, D.C. area.
We know that a child's chances of escaping poverty are highly dependent on factors beyond his control – his parents' income, their educational background, the school he attends, the demographics of his classmates, the characteristics of the neighborhood outside his door. But it turns out that a child's prospects for upward mobility are also highly influenced by the most basic question of geography: Depending on which city his parents raised him in, he has dramatically different odds of growing up to be someone who isn't poor.
Academics from Harvard and UC Berkeley recently set out to study if local tax expenditures (and particularly tax credits for the poor) in fact help lift children out of poverty, promoting intergenerational mobility. They figured they could better understand the benefits of tax policy by leveraging the variety of ways that it differs across the country. Their massive study – "the most detailed portrait yet of income mobility in the United States," as The New York Times put it this morning – spanned 740 "commuting zones" across the U.S., roughly analogous to metropolitan areas but covering the entire country. And they examined an entire cohort of American children born in 1980 and 1981, whose parents' income and later adult income was calculated using millions of anonymous earnings records.
The researchers found that larger tax credits for the poor do correlate with higher income mobility. But their research more strikingly turned up "substantial variation" across the country in a child's prospects of escaping poverty, and for reasons that go likely well beyond local tax policy. This map from the paper illustrates inter-generational mobility, comparing a child's adult income rank with his or parents' income rank (defined by income centiles). The darker the areas, the lower the intergenerational mobility:
The researchers, Raj Chetty and Nathaniel Hendren of Harvard, and Patrick Kline and Emmanuel Saez of UC Berkeley, have also released their full dataset online, and the Times has built a powerful set of interactive tools with it. Regionally, the research shows that lower-income children living in cities in the Northeast, Upper Midwest and West Coast (New York, Minneapolis, San Francisco) stand a much better chance of reaching higher income brackets in adulthood than children living in Southeastern cities and the industrial Midwest (Atlanta, Memphis, Indianapolis).
More specifically, this means that a poor child in Seattle, raised by a family in the bottom fifth of national family income, has about a 10.4 percent chance of becoming an earner in the top fifth of national income by the time he's 30. For a child in Atlanta, that figure is only 4 percent.
In Charlotte, North Carolina, a child whose parents make just $16,000 a year, or in the 10th percentile nationally, grows up on average to earn in the 30th percentile. For a child growing up with similar means in Salt Lake City, that adult income is in the 43rd percentile. And 11 percent of those low-income Salt Lake City children will go on to become top earners (in the top fifth of the U.S. population). For Charlotte children, the comparable figure is just 4 percent.
What separates all of these places is more than just the strength of the local economy or the generosity of the tax benefits. As the authors write in the executive summary:
We do find higher rates of upward income mobility in areas with high rates of economic growth over the past decade, but the vast majority of the difference in mobility across areas is unrelated to economic growth.
So what is it related to? The researchers identify several factors with strong correlations: school quality, social capital and family structure (metros with more two-parent households seemed to have higher income mobility). They also found that low inequality and economic and racial segregation across metro areas were tied to higher income mobility, an idea we've written about before. Segregation hinders literal mobility – the ability of poor people to cross town to reach jobs and other opportunities.
This implies that the geography of cities themselves – how far out the jobs are, where people live relative to them, whether there's good transportation connecting the two – may have much to do with these nationwide patterns in the geography of upward mobility. You may have long suspected this to be true. But now here is some strong but depressing data to back this up: The kind of city a child grows up in may well determine the kind of life he goes on to live.

To help get essential workers around, cities are revising traffic patterns, suspending public transit fares, and making more room for bikes and pedestrians.
As coronavirus transforms our private and public spaces, how would you map what your neighborhood and community look like now?
The short-term rental market is reeling from the coronavirus-driven tourism collapse. Can the industry's dominant player stage a comeback after lockdowns lift?
We must prepare for a protracted battle with coronavirus. But there are changes we can make now to prepare locked-down cities for what's next.
Renters in apartments and houses share more than just germs with their roommates: Life under coronavirus lockdown means negotiating new social rules.

CHICAGO, April 4 (UPI) -- Pulitzer Prize-winning Chicago film critic Roger Ebert died Thursday after a long battle with cancer, his employer the Chicago Sun-Times announced.
He was 70.
Ebert wrote on his blog Tuesday night he was again undergoing treatment for cancer after fracturing his hip a second time and planned to scale back on his daily workload.
"The 'painful fracture' that made it difficult for me to walk has recently been revealed to be a cancer. It is being treated with radiation, which has made it impossible for me to attend as many movies as I used to," he wrote. "I'll be able at last to do what I've always fantasized about doing: reviewing only the movies I want to review."
Ebert began his stint as Chicago Sun-Times' film critic April 3, 1967, and later gained national celebrity status as the host of movie review TV programs such as "Coming Soon to a Theater Near You," "Sneak Previews," "At the Movies," "Siskel & Ebert & The Movies" and "Ebert & Roeper." It was during his television career that he perfected his trademark thumbs up or thumbs down signs to recommend or blast thousands of movies during his programs.
"No good film is too long," he was famously quoted as saying. "No bad movie is short enough."
Ebert slowed down a bit after a battle with thyroid cancer, which began in 2002. Although he had been unable to speak or eat solid foods for the past several years, due to complications from the disease and reconstructive surgeries, he continued to write until shortly before his death.
Ebert is survived by his wife, Chaz, a stepdaughter and two stepgrandchildren.

From 1 April 2012, European citizens enjoy a new right which gives them a stronger voice: the European citizens' initiative (ECI). By collecting one million signatures across Europe, they can call upon the European Commission to propose or change existing European legislation.
The European Economic and Social Committee, as an advocate of citizens' rights of participation and the voice of civil society, supported the idea of a citizens' initiative from the start and fought for a simple, understandable set of rules, as laid down in the two opinions it adopted on the ECI.
In short, the EESC sees its role in two ways:
- The Committee as facilitator: While an initiative is being planned or is in progress, the Committee – in its role as a platform for dialogue and information – is prepared to act as a facilitator enabling organisers of citizens' initiatives to network and possibly to meet, etc.
- The Committee as institutional mentor: The Committee offers to support the Commission's by issuing an opinion to assist it in evaluating a successful initiative. The EESC also offers its collaboration to the Commission and the European Parliament for the holding hearings on those successful initiatives.
For more information on the ECI, please contact citizensinitiative

Catherine Russell's Sentimental Streak
The critical raves that greeted Cat (2006 -- WV 468063), Catherine Russell's debut album on World Village, have understandably raised the bar for this, her sophomore CD.
[Review: Music]
On "Sentimental Streak" Catherine Russell and her swinging band -- Mark Shane or Larry Ham (piano), Lee Hudson (bass), and Matt Munisteri (guitar, banjo), augmented by James Wormworth (drums), Larry Campbell (guitars, mandolin, violin), Steven Bernstein (trumpet), Howard Johnson (tuba), Erik Lawrence (saxes), Rachelle Garniez (accordion), Byron Isaacs (bass), Brian Mitchell (piano) -- have distilled the robust, good-time essence of Southern juke joints and lindy-hopping Northern dance halls, where confessing the blues was as good for the soul as getting frisky in the first place.
The material, heard in arrangements inspired by Chick Webb, Hoagy Carmichael, Louis Armstrong, Willie Dixon, Frank Sinatra, and Catherine's own father, Luis Russell, and much of it originally associated with legends like Bessie Smith, Alberta Hunter, Nellie Lutcher, Pearl Bailey, Ella Fitzgerald, and Lena Horne, harks back to tales of lusty, big-hearted women who knew what was what and spoke out accordingly.
Universal vignettes speak of how little time there is for what really matters, a sensuously unrepentant lady of leisure, a woman lamenting the loss of the culinary (and other!) talents of a departing lover and, memorably, of being caught in the clutches of ruinous vamp named Luci. Guided by the keen touch of Larry Campbell, Catherine's glorious voice once again reigns supreme, making every note count as she lovingly animates fourteen indelible songs with timeless appeal.
The critical raves that greeted Cat (2006 -- WV 468063), Catherine Russell's debut album on World Village, have understandably raised the bar for this, her sophomore CD. But from track one, it's obvious that this impassioned and versatile vocalist is more than equal to the challenge! Born in New York City, Catherine's late father, Luis Russell, was Louis Armstrong's longtime musical director while her mother, Carline Ray, vocalist, bassist, and a graduate of Julliard, has performed with Mary Lou Williams and Wynton Marsalis. Cat attended Music And Art High School and graduated with honors from the American Academy Of Dramatic Arts.
She has performed and/or recorded with Paul Simon, Steely Dan, Cyndi Lauper, Joan Osborne, Madonna, Jackson Browne, Rosanne Cash, and David Bowie, among others, and participated in several gold-and-platinum selling recordings. Since the release of Cat, Catherine has taken her show-stopping intensity to major events like Tanglewood Jazz Festival, Montreal Jazz Festival, and Chicago Blues Festival, while appearing on the nationally syndicated Tavis Smiley Show on PBS-TV, Mountain Stage Radio Show, and JazzSet on NPR. Cat spent weeks on JazzWeeks national airplay chart while one of its tracks, Back O Town Blues, reached the top Ten on I-Tunes Jazz Chart..."a fresh and original voice. 'Cat' is the most exciting debut album I've heard in a long time." (Will Friedwald/The New York Sun). "Sentimental Streak" was recorded Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, NY and produced by multi-instrumentalist/producer Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan, Levon Helm, Willie Nelson, Ollabelle, Marie Knight).

Local talent leads massive national project to gauge the chemistry of thunderstorms
From today through June 30 more than 100 researchers with millions of dollars in technology will deconstruct the chemistry of thunderstorms in northern Alabama, northeastern Colorado and central Oklahoma.
The Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry project, referred to as DC3, will put a massive research effort in the field, including specially-equipped aircraft to measure atmospheric changes, a mobile Doppler radar vehicle and four instrument-laden minivans. The team will launch balloons carrying instruments into storms.

W.Va. diocese offers grants to fight child poverty
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — The Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston will begin awarding $100,000 in grants to parishes, schools and programs that fight child poverty next month, and Roman Catholic Bishop Michael Bransfield is urging the faithful to join him in showing compassionate care.
In a 34-page pastoral letter released Thursday, Bransfield discusses the state's rates for low birth weight, infant mortality, child abuse and neglect, and the percentage of births to unmarried teens. All are higher than national averages.
Families often struggle to afford good housing, nutritious food and suitable clothing, Bransfield said, while children are further challenged by low academic achievement, and parents who are incarcerated or addicted to drugs.
One in four children live in poverty, he said, as do nearly one-third of children under 5.
"The measures of poverty used by the federal government ... do not adequately capture the real number of people living in poverty among us and do not describe the challenges they face each day of making ends meet," the bishop said.
Catholic Charities West Virginia is the second-largest direct provider of services to the poor, and Bransfield said his staff held "listening sessions" this year at soup kitchens, shelters and schools.
People spoke of feeling "hunted," he said, and of being unable to accept a low-paying job for fear of losing medical care and child support. They complained of access and ability to pay for dental care, and about the lack of behavioral health treatment, including care for returning veterans
"Concern for the poor ... continues to be a corporal work of mercy," Bransfield writes. "We are committed to feeding the hungry and clothing the naked; we are committed to educating our young people and tending to the physical and spiritual needs of all."
Bransfield said the state's Catholic hospitals in Wheeling, Huntington and Buckhannon provide charity care but don't get full reimbursement from the state and federal governments. That compromises their effectiveness, he said. A similar situation exists at Good Shepherd Nursing Home in Wheeling and at St. John's Home for Children of Wheeling, a group home for boys 8-14 with conduct, affective, attention-deficit and impulse-control disorders.
Educational performance in West Virginia is poor, too, with more than three-quarters of eighth-graders in public schools performing below grade in math, reading, science and writing, Bransfield said.
Turning that around will require bold initiatives like Reconnecting McDowell, a public-private venture focused on extreme challenges in the state's southernmost county.
"Such brave thinking should be echoed in other counties throughout the state," Bransfield says, "especially the southern coalfields not as wounded economically and socially as McDowell."
He also urged Catholics to support better funding for pre-kindergarten and in-home education such as the Birth-To-Three program.
"The entire community benefits when families in distress are aided," he said.
Bransfield became the eighth bishop of West Virginia in February 2005.
This is his fourth pastoral letter. Two others focused on health care and mental health, while the 2010 "On My Holy Mountain" missive addressed concerns about mine safety.

2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar together and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and pour over cookies, covering them evenly. Put cookie sheet into oven and watch closely. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until just bubbly.
3. Remove from oven and pour chocolate chips over cookies. When chips begin to melt, spread them over ccookies with a knife. Transfer pan to freezer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until completely cold. The chocolate-covered cookies will form a solid sheet; break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

XLPE insulated cable 400 kV
StandardsInternational : IEC 62067
Since the late 1960s, Nexans has been developing an entire range of XLPE insulated cables for high voltage-transmission. The cables consists of a stranded copper or aluminium conductor with an extruded insulation system. All our extrusion lines are equipped with multiple heads, which allows for simultaneous application of the insulation and the two semi-conductive layers.
In all lines, incoming materials are kept and handled in completely super clean and closed systems and the curing is always done under dry process. After the reticulation, particular care is taken on the degassing process. The cable is then further protected by a metallic shield and an outer sheath. Big unwind and take up stands allows for the manufacturing of long cable lengths.

Vera Farmiga has been to Sundance several times as an actress, but this past weekend she made a triumphant return as a director, with "Higher Ground," about a woman who after a more than a decade as part of a hippy fundamentalist community, begins to lose her faith. Farmiga was clearly touched by the occasion, getting a little verklempt while introducing the film.
"Welcome to the world premiere of 'Higher Ground.' I'm very moved and humbled, incredulous and deeply, deeply, grateful to the festival for its nurture and support. I wouldn't be standing here today if I hadn't stood here, I think in the exact same spot, for 'Down to the Bone,' and that was life changing. I've consistently stood on this stage with the films and the stories I'm most proud of, and inspired by, and with collaborations that have been the most meaningful to me."
Looking on was Mother Farmiga.
"My mom is in the audience, where are you? I love you very much, mama. I know you want me to smile more in moves, so I tossed a few in there for you, and now I can't stop smiling."
The film is based on "This Dark World: A Memoir of Salvation Found and Lost," by Carolyn Briggs, who, in the 1970s, along with several other families in the Hudson Valley combined counter-culture diets and styles with right-wing Christianity.
It follows young Corinne from her earliest days in Bible school earning disapproving looks for reading "Lord of the Flies," to her romance with Ethan, the front man for a local rock band with whom she ultimately has a shotgun wedding, to their conversion to fundamentalist Christianity.
Of course, the kind of kid who reads "Lord of the Flies" probably isn't long for such a life, where women aren't allowed to preach, are blamed for men's arousals and get scolded for "worshiping at the altar of yourself!"
Farmiga does a good job of trying to remain respectful of those who believe, while exploring how one woman can lose her way. The film is peppered with hilarious hallucinatory moments during which Corinne imagines herself gyrating in lingerie or getting a shrimp job from a female friend.
But for Farmiga this is not a story about religion, per se.
"It spoke to me on many different levels. It spoke to me as a daughter, it spoke to me as a mother, it spoke to me as a wife, it spoke to me as someone who is on her own spiritual journey, and the crossroads of faith and doubt have been there, in my journey. Just trying to figure it out, you know? In all those aspects of my life, and I think that we all have these choices and we're all searching for clarity, we're all wanting to be the best selves that we can be in those moments. Of not knowing, where you can either chose to be broken, break down, or be broken open and let that doubt, let that pain and let the confusion open your heart—that's what spoke to me.
"It could've easily been set in any faith, any denomination, any…any setting of spirituality—even golf, whatever it is, that thing that drives you in life, that motivates you, that gives you peace and perseverance. For me, (religion) wasn't the subject, this is not a film about whether religion is right or wrong, or Christianity—whether Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, and nobody comes to life but by him—it's not that. It's not that, it's a location; it's not the subject of the film."
"Higher Ground" is showing in the U.S. Dramatic competition at Sundance.

Day's Worst: Identity theft panelist has her ID stolen
It's bad enough that Katie Carroll, who works for the Better Business Bureau of Southern Colorado, was a victim of identity theft.
What really has to sting is that she is among a group appointed by Gov. John Hickenlooper to study identity theft and financial fraud.
Carroll's smart phone and wallet were swiped from a cubicle in her office while she was in a meeting, according to a story in the Colorado Springs Gazette.
Within hours, the thief was racking up charges and Carroll was putting out the word to her credit card companies and credit rating agencies.
"We all think it's not going to happen to us," Carrol told the Gazette.

The Drinking Water Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CEC) program identifies environmental contaminants for which current health-based standards currently do not exist or need to be updated, investigate the potential for human exposure to these chemicals, and develop guidance values for drinking water. Contaminants evaluated by CEC staff include contaminants that have been released or detected in Minnesota waters (surface water and groundwater) or that have the potential to migrate to or be detected in Minnesota waters.
The Lake Superior Beach Monitoring and Notification Program exists to test recreational beach water and notify the public if bacteria levels become unsafe. This project will expand the Beach Program to include additional outreach efforts, sanitary surveys and testing of new technologies to improve the Beach Program. Monitoring results will be used to inform the public, find the sources of bacterial contamination and address polluted runoff from improper waste disposal.
Approximately 70 percent of all Minnesotans rely on groundwater as their primary source of drinking water. Wells used for drinking water must be properly sealed when removed from service to protect both public health and Minnesota's invaluable groundwater resources. The Minnesota Department of Health protects both public health and groundwater by assuring the proper sealing of unused wells.
Clean Water funds are being provided to well owners as a 50% cost-share assistance for sealing unused public water-supply wells.

Fonterra said it had been talking with a large number of institutional investors about its upcoming Fonterra Shareholders Fund offer but that it was impossible to know what their intentions might be until the bookbuild process for the offer was complete.
The cooperative earlier declined to comment on a report out of Beijing that China Investment Corp was seeking a stake in the Fonterra Shareholders Fund.
The Wall Street Journal said China Investment Corp was in talks with Fonterra about investing in the fund. The Journal said the Chinese sovereign-wealth fund sought overseas investments tied to China's growth prospects.
In a statement, Fonterra said Fonterra Shareholders' Fund institutional offer is being made to institutional investors in New Zealand, Australia, and certain other overseas jurisdictions in Asia and Europe.
As detailed in the prospectus, the joint lead managers would undertake a bookbuild by inviting selected institutional investors and NZX firms to indicate the number of units they wish to apply for at a range of prices, Fonterra said.
"Fonterra and the joint lead managers have spoken with a large number of institutional investors, as would be expected for an offer like this,'' Fonterra said. "These meetings are confidential."
"However, until the bookbuild process has been completed, it is impossible to know what any institution's ultimate intention might be," the statement said.
The cooperative is still in the throes of getting its Trading Among Farmers (TAF) share trading scheme under way.
TAF will involve creating a shareholders' fund, which will allow non-farm investors access to the cooperative's dividend flow but will not allow fund investors to gain voting rights.
The fund, which is expected to be worth not less than $500 million, has already attracted heavy investor interest, and brokers have had to severely curtail their clients' applications for units.
Fonterra expects the fund to list on the ASX and NZX on November 30. Fonterra's offer documents say that no entity, other than Fonterra, can hold more than 15 per cent of the units on issue.

"'Consumers in Japan perceive it as old-fashioned. Also, there is a lovely convention with sake that you never pour for yourself, the person you are dining with should pour, but I think part of the problem is that in the corporate world this has been abused so that the new guy always has to drink until he pukes because the bosses keep pouring. It has that association for some.' Apparently, a few years ago rumours also spread… that sake gave you bad breath and was acidic on the stomach, which can't have helped."
Sushi and Beyond page 165
The other thing about sake is that is has religious meaning, being tied into all kinds of Shinto and Buddhist ceremonies such as weddings and remembrance of the dead. During those times, too, it is something that can seem forced onto you more than something you choose to drink. The other thing about the pouring for each other is that is adds a level of formality to proceedings, so much so that you can show a lack of all formality by drinking out of the sake bottle. For all these reasons, a relaxed evening out will always start with beer (preferably your own glass rather than a shared bottle).
