Specialist firefighters tackle blaze in chimney on Devon farm
10:01pm Sunday 28th October 2012 in Devon By Mid Devon Star Reporter
FIREFIGHTERS used specialist ladders to tackle a fire at a Devon farm this evening (Sunday 28).
The fire broke out in a chimney at Grange Home Farm in Broadhembury, between Cullompton and Honiton, shortly after 6pm.
The incident involved a wood burning stove and the fire service was forced to call in the extra ladders and other 'working from height' equipment to help put out the blaze.

The global distribution of Nobel Prizes traces a shift from Europe to the U.S.
June 27, 2012 | 6
Note: This is an interactive version of the July 2012 Graphic Science, which appears here.
Interactive by Ryan Reid
I was looking at the graphic for the age distribution of Nobel Prize winners and wondered if the age represented was that of the date of presentation of the award or when they published the discovery for which they were awarded the prize. It would seem to me that the age at which they did the work would be much more relevant than the age you were when people finally decided your work was worthy of the award. Although it might also be interesting to see the difference between these two events.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisGreat chart - but would like some more background info:
1) researchers affiliated with Harvard: is this where they did the research? It would be interesting to know what proportion did their work elsewhere. This is NOT a Harvard question - you just happened to print this for Harvard. I would be interested in the same info. for other institutions.
2) country of institution - same as above, but also, how many were not citizens of the country of the institution.
3)interesting about age: is this due to the delay between discovery and award or are the discoveries later in life - I wonder with this because the number of awards in a year is static vs the number of scientists doing research and wonder about a growing backlog of 'overdue' awards?
4) did you do this for the other (non-science) awards, too?
How many of the prize winners began their careers elsewhere and emigrated to the US? With the crisis in american education and immigration how long before the degrees shift to Europe and / or Asia?
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisIt's funny how they forget one of the Danish nobel laureates...
Niels Kaj Jerne (Medicine, 1984) worked on antibodies...
Unfortunately, these graphics are a bit misleading. "Each colored bar represents one or more laureates affiliated with institutions in a given country." So a laureate with 1/4 of a Nobel prize may create as much visual impact as a laureate with a full prize. The main problem is that the average prize fraction per laureate has shrunk over time. In the beginning of the 20th century, many science laureates got a full prize. Today, however, most get only 1/2 or 1/3 or 1/4. As a consequence, there has been a recent inflation of Nobel laureates. This distorts your graph, biasing its visual impact towards recent decades, and in particular, towards the US, and against Europe. Perhaps not exactly what an unbiased science magazine should publish?
To get unbiased graphics, do the obvious: represent each laureate by a bar whose size is proportional to his/her Nobel prize fraction (1,1/2, 1/3, 1/4). Perhaps your artists can quickly fix this.
In 2010 I published a report that takes all of the above into account, for each Nobel Prize type, both by country of birth, and by country of citizenship at the moment of the award:
Evolution of National Nobel Prize Shares in the 20th Century. arXiv:1009.2634v1 [physics.hist-ph]. http://www.idsia.ch/~juergen/nobelshare.html
This paper also briefly addresses your topic US v EU: "As of 2009, Nobel Prize counts of major players by citizenship are: EU >270, USA ~150, Asia >30. Extrapolating current trends, the European share may fall below 50% within a few decades."

Professor of Artificial Intelligence, Univ. Lugano
I noticed that opposite the Nobel Prize graphics there was an ad for the Kuwait Prize which only can be given to Kuwaiti and Arab citizens (are christians or jews which are citizens of Arab countries eligible?). In fact only 2 muslims have (to my knowledge) been awarded Nobel science prizes, i e. Abdus Salam in physics and Ahmed Zewail in chemistry. Zewail has lived most of his life in the US and Abdus Salam belonged to the Ahmadiyya sect which by sunni muslims are considered heretic and in Pakistan are legally considered non-muslim. Food for thought....

Partnerships Announced with Nigerian State and in Coca-Cola-led Alliance
Reflects Agency's Initiatives to Further UN's Worldwide Health Goals
NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- McCann Health, a McCann Worldgroup unit which last year became the only marketing communications agency to partner in a number of interrelated United Nations-driven alliances tackling global health issues, has moved ahead on two key initiatives related to this commitment. Announcements were made at the Clinton Global Initiative and during high level meetings during the United Nations General Assembly sessions in New York City.
These two initiatives-one involving an agreement with a Nigerian government entity and the other a clean-water multinational partnership led by The Coca-Cola Company- also highlight several broader trends in the public health field. These include greater recognition of the role that marketing communications can play in stimulating user demand for public health products and services, and an increased emphasis on corporate, government and non-governmental organization (NGO) partnerships that actively deliver services on a continuing basis, and not just through donations.
As part of this stepped-up effort, McCann Health has made a substantial ongoing commitment in time, talent, and resources to reduce maternal and child deaths around the world in support of many health initiatives related to the UN's Millennium Development Goals (MDG). McCann Health CEO John Cahill explained, "We are committed to using our deep experience in marketing and communications, and our worldwide network, to bring commercial approaches to creating demand for high quality healthcare products and services across Africa and Asia. Whereas education and awareness are necessary to achieve the MDGs, they are not sufficient. There needs to be renewed attention and increased resources to understanding and overcoming the personal, cultural and societal barriers to the adoption of healthcare products and services."
In one venture unveiled last week, McCann Health was announced as the communications partner joining in The Coca-Cola Company's launch of its EKOCENTER clean-water initiative through a seven-company corporate alliance that also includes IBM, Qualcomm and UPS. EKOCENTER provides safe drinking water and other basic necessities for communities in need. McCann Health also announced that it was joining the Kwara State Government in Nigeria and The Wellbeing Foundation Africa in a new public-private partnership to reduce maternal and childhood deaths in support of the UN's Every Woman, Every Child program.
"This groundbreaking partnership under the leadership and support of the Kwara State Government in Nigeria brings 'best-in-class' capabilities and experience from the private sector to work alongside government and the NGO community to tackle the devastating problems of maternal and childhood mortality in Nigeria," said Cahill. "Taken together, the EKOCENTER and the Kwara alliances demonstrate that business, governments and NGOs can unite in active and sustainable partnerships to transform health-related behavior that can prevent millions of deaths annually. We are very proud to be a significant partner in these new types of coalitions."
About McCann Health: Comprising the world's most connected health and wellness experts, McCann Health is the most awarded professional and consumer health communications network with the largest international expertise spanning 35 countries and 57 offices. McCann Health's global network includes McCann HumanCare, McCann Healthcare, McCann Regan Campbell Ward, McCann Torre Lazur-- as well as the leading worldwide medical communications practice, McCann Complete Medical. McCann Health is a part of McCann Worldgroup.

Hi, I'm pretty new to surfing but I've found this product and wondered what people think of it?
It's an electrolyte based addin in which you put in water or any drink to create a sports drink that boosts energy, aids recovery and prevents muscle cramps. It is completely natural and also seems pretty cheap at 64p per litre.
I've been using it for quite a while now: it really doesn't want it says but want to know what surfers think and if you'd actually use it?
PS: I'm also looking for some wicked spots to surf in the UK this summer- anyone got any ideas?

Upside The Cranium is the best of the lines on the Monkey Skull. It begins just right of the main trad dihedral on greyish, sub-vertical rock. The route begins to steepen as you approach bolt 4 and finishes up just about vertical. No one move is all that difficult, and most moves are 5.10- until near the last bolt where a long reach on thin but good edges delivers the crux (5.10c). Worth a pair of stars for the good rock, the continuity, and the fun climbing moves on well bolted stone.
QDs only. This route reqiures either a 60m rope or double ropes, being close to 100 feet long. 9-10 draws will suffice to reach the top and a double bolt anchor.
Richard, have you done Sunshine Dihedral (just left of Upside)? It looks like an incredible line in a beautiful dihedral...there are also numerous other cracks (and one other overhanging corner called Casual Corner) on this crag that look nice...done anything else here? Just curious...I went there to climb one day in January, but the sun wasn't shining on it, so we passed...can't wait to go back soon (I want Sunshine Dihedral...hehehe).
Smidgit, felt 10c to me. Maybe I was off. I may not remember this correctly, but I thought that Rolofson also gave it 10c.
Smidgit - Upside the Cranium is one of the finer climbs in the SSV W/ some of the SSV nicer granite next to Crooked Cross a 5.9 crack and Guided by Voices 5.9 crack. As to the rating of Upside..., not one move on it is harder than on the routes just mentioned, and the guidebook rates it 10a, why is it 10c here?
UTC is a brilliant line. Sunshine Dihedral is very good also... a little pumpy jamming/liebacking through crux, but get rewarded with jug and pin to clip at the lip. The 5.8 crack to the left is good moderate crack climbing, with plenty of face features to keep it sane. -dmm
Upside the Cranium is definitely a 10+ climb very sustained, small feet and difficult clips (up high). Otherwise the edging is spectacular. The top section of the climb reminds me of "Tribal Boundaries" at the City of Rocks.
This is one of my favorite granite sport face climbs in the boulder area. My friends and I have been calling this 5.10b for a long time now, because although it is sustained it does not have one particularly desperate move. I highly recommend this route to anyone who wants to experience really cool edging on a beutiful granite face. P.S. There really are holds up there even though it looks completely blank from the ground ;-)
Climbed on 4.12.03. With out a doubt...the best sport route that I have done in the SSV area. Paul Findley led it and four of us got to top rope it. What a spectacular afternoon. The is one I would go back to again and again. We found it best to stay right of the bolts. A 60M rope barely reaches the ledge just off the ground.
Where is Guided by Voices????
10c? I recall the book giving it 10a/b. Anyways, it didn't feel like 10c. Excellent route! One of the best face climbs I clipped up in many years!!
The best sport route I've done in South St. Vrain Canyon; a classic slab and steep face climb. 10 bolts. A 60m rope is OK, but a 70m allows lowering or rappelling all the way to the ground. I found the crux to be from the 6th to 8th bolts; stay slightly right for the easiest line.
Excellent and sustained. I didn't find any particularly long reach near the top (I'm 5'8"). Agree with Ron - crux is around the 6th bolt. Stay generally slightly right of the bolts for the easiest line.
Great line good warm up.
This is a great route and the easiest line takes some thought. I found the crux was clipping the 7th bolt. In the summer, I'd recommend doing this route in the morning before it is in direct sun.
C'mon Richard, the FA goes to Alvino Pon. Not hard info to track down for a man of your caliber, I wouldn't think.
Hmmmm. No excuses. This route was logged into the old cb.com pretty hastily.
Did this the other day with phil and delicately loved it! Super thin moves and had a great time figuring out the beta! My fav next to the Sunshine Dihedral.

Trimming your lawn is like putting the finishing touches on a cake. Not always required but makes an eye-catching difference. Trimming and edging is not as glamorous as mowing but it can make the difference between a good-looking job and one that is just average.
GARDENA Turbotrimmers are equipped with high-tech plastic blades or a rotating nylon filament and this way cut powerfully and quickly. There's the right trimmer for every kind of garden: Whether small, medium-sized, large or overgrown – the GARDENA Turbotrimmer range offers eight different trimmers to fit individual needs. For cordless care of longer lawn edges and spots difficult to reach with cable, the GARDENA Turbotrimmers AccuCut, being battery-operated, are ideal partners.

Feb. 21, 1962 - Sept. 12, 2008
David Foster Wallace used his prodigious gifts as a writer — his manic, exuberant prose, his ferocious powers of observation, his ability to fuse avant-garde techniques with old-fashioned moral seriousness — to create a series of strobe-lit portraits of a millennial America overdosing on the drugs of entertainment and self-gratification, and to capture, in the words of the musician Robert Plant, the myriad "deep and meaningless" facets of contemporary life.
A prose magician, Mr. Wallace was capable of writing — in his fiction and nonfiction — about subjects from tennis to politics to lobsters, from the horrors of drug withdrawal to the small terrors of life aboard a luxury cruise ship, with humor and fervor and verve. At his best he could write funny, write sad, write sardonic and write serious. He could map the infinite and infinitesimal, the mythic and mundane. He could conjure up an absurd future — an America in which herds of feral hamsters roam the land — while conveying the inroads the absurd has already made in a country where old television shows are a national touchstone and asinine advertisements wallpaper our lives. — Michiko Kakutani

Stratford's swan-filled Avon River (what else were they going to call it?) flows slowly past the town, with plenty of riverbank lawns on which to chill out. Just west of Stratford Tourism on the riverbank, the Shakespearean Gardens occupy the site of an old wool mill.
During the Cold War, paranoid government officials commissioned the Diefenbunker , a secret underground military/government refuge. The gargantuan four-floored shelter was designed to house over 300 'important persons' for 30 days during a nuclear attack.
Commanding heavenly views of the lakefront on a priceless slab of real estate, the elegantly proportioned RC Harris Filtration Plant is a modern art-deco masterpiece that has appeared in countless movies and TV shows, as well as in Michael Ondaatje's In the Skin of a Lion .
'Do one thing and do it well,' is the motto of Steam Whistle Brewing, a microbrewery that makes only a crisp European-style pilsner.
A former lakeside parking lot has been transformed into the 2800-sq-meter Spadina Quay Wetlands, a thriving, sustainable ecosystem full of frogs, birds and fish. When lakeside fishers noticed that northern pike were spawning here each spring, the city took it upon itself to create this new habitat.
The seat of Ontario's Provincial Legislature resides in a fabulously ornate 1893 sandstone building, north of College St in Queen's Park. For some homegrown entertainment, head for the visitors' gallery when the adversarial legislative assembly is in session (Monday to Thursday March to June and September to December).
Climb a rock wall, journey to the center of a human heart, catch a criminal with DNA fingerprinting and race an Olympic bobsled at the excellent, interactive Ontario Science Centre . Over 800 high-tech exhibits and live demonstrations wow the kids (and the adults at the back, pretending not to be interested). Also here is the giant domed Omnimax Cinema.
At Pukaskwa (puck -a-saw), bear hugs are taken literally. The park features an intact predator-prey ecosystem, which continues to thrive since there is only 4km of road in the entire preserve (and 1km in winter). Pukaskwa offers many of the topographical features and includes a small herd of elusive caribou.
Stroll through the quiet islands on the Canadian side of the waterway; the majority of freighter traffic occurs further afield in the American locks – the older Canadian locks, built in 1895, are used for recreational vessels only. The Attikamek walking trail is a short, self-guided hike around South St Mary's Island.
The Bonnechere caves , about 130km west of Ottawa, are one of the finest examples of a solution cave (a cave dissolved out of solid rock by acidic waters) in the world. Formed 500 million years ago from the floor of a tropical sea, the dank passages feature a haunting collection of prehistoric fossils including a well-defined octopus.
In Queenston village, a snoozy historic throwback north of the falls near the Lewiston Bridge to the US, is Queenston Heights Park, a national historic site. Here, the commanding Brock Monument honors Major General Sir Isaac Brock, 'Savior of Upper Canada.' The tower stairwell was closed for repairs during research, but might open by the time you visit.
This farm was once the Toronto Zoo, where prairie wolves howled at night and spooked the Cabbagetown kids. It's now run as a working-farm museum, with two barns, a summer wading pool, and pens of sundry fowl and animals (geese, goats, pigs, rabbits, turkeys etc). Kids follow the farmer around as he does his daily chores, including milking the cows at 10:30am.
This gracious museum was built in 1866 as a country estate for financier James Austin and his family. Lit by Victorian gaslights, the interior contains three generations of furnishings, art and fabrics. The working kitchen hosts cooking demonstrations by costumed workers, while Edwardian Teas , strawberry festivals and summer concerts are held in the apple orchard.
Just north of the Toronto city limits, the David Dunlap Observatory is a major player in the cut-throat world of international stargazing. On Saturday evenings, the observatory presents introductory talks on modern astronomy (but 'no math!'), followed by interplanetary voyeurism through Canada's biggest optical telescope (the reflector measures 1.9m).
The jewels of this scruffy city park are its six early-20th-century greenhouses, filled with huge palms and trees from around the world divided into arid, cool and tropical plantings. On a cold day it's a great place to warm up – check out the spiky golden barrel cacti in the arid garden and pretend you're in Death Valley.

The share of adult internet users who have a profile on an online social network site has more than quadrupled in the past four years -- from 8% in 2005 to 35% now, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project's December 2008 tracking survey.
While media coverage and policy attention focus heavily on how children and young adults use social network sites, adults still make up the bulk of the users of these websites. Adults make up a larger portion of the US population than teens, which is why the 35% number represents a larger number of users than the 65% of online teens who also use online social networks.
Still, younger online adults are much more likely than their older counterparts to use social networks, with 75% of adults 18-24 using these networks, compared to just 7% of adults 65 and older. At its core, use of online social networks is still a phenomenon of the young.
Overall, personal use of social networks seems to be more prevalent than professional use of networks, both in the orientation of the networks that adults choose to use as well as the reasons they give for using the applications. Most adults, like teens, are using online social networks to connect with people they already know.
When users do use social networks for professional and personal reasons, they will often maintain multiple profiles, generally on different sites.
Most, but not all adult social network users are privacy conscious; 60% of adult social network users restrict access to their profiles so that only their friends can see it, and 58% of adult social network users restrict access to certain content within their profile.
This data memo is based on two surveys. The overall usage of social network sites data was gathered in a national phone survey fielded from November 19 to December 20, 2008 among 2,253 Americans, including 1,650 internet users. The margin of error in that sample is plus or minus 3 percentage points. The main findings on adults usage of social network sites come from a survey of 2,251 adults between April 8 to May 11, 2008, among a sample of adults, 18 and older. Some 328 respondents in that survey were social network users and the margin of error in that subsample is plus or minus 6 percentage points.

A panel of experts told Madison County residents Tuesday night that they have made significant headway in the bath salts crisis in just the last month. But as our Andrew Sorensen tells us, they still believe the epidemic is far from over.
ONEIDA, N.Y. -- Bath salts panels have been held in nearly every county in Central New York over the last few months, but Tuesday night's panel at Oneida High School marked one of the first times law enforcement and medical professionals had some good news for their audience. "They're unfortunately still increasing, but they're not increasing as dramatically as we've seen in the past," Upstate NY Poison Center toxicologist Dr. Alexander Garrard said. "We were averaging probably I would say six to eight calls a week concerning bath salts. And now we probably haven't had two or three, if that since that started," said Madison County Sheriff Allen Riley.
At the end of July, the DEA initiated headshop raids dubbed "Operation Log Jam." Weeks later, Governor Cuomo and the state Health Department passed a stricter ban on the drugs.
Sheriff Riley says the two acts have cut significantly into the bath salts supply.
"We only had one raided here in the county. Tebb's I believe it was in the City of Oneida, and the other ones kind of shut down on their own once the word got out," Sheriff Riley explained. Despite the efficiency of the current efforts, experts say there's a long legal battle ahead to make sure the people of Madison County are safe from bath salts.
"When you enact a new law that puts someone in jail for up to 15 days, these guys couldn't care less about doing 15 days," Madison County District Attorney William Gabor said.
Gabor says the newest laws aren't nearly tough enough, and perpetrators can slip away with law enforcement's inadequate technology.
"Because there are so many changes weekly, we have to do better and get better field tests in order to even make the arrests," he said.
He also says there are problems in prosecution. It takes nearly nine months to test the substances, far beyond the time they can hold a suspect.
Experts say the best way to combat the continuing problem is through being proactive.
"It takes a village truly to get rid of these substances and to say to legislators and to law enforcement, we don't want these substances here," Dr. Garrard said.
The DA hopes to get stronger teeth against the drugs by pushing the county to reconsider a ban before the State Assembly gets around to considering new measures in their next session.
Madison County also credits their new bath salts task force with educating the public on the dangers of the drugs.

2004 Readers' Choice Awards
GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)
All these vendors are releasing development tools like crazy, but our voters stick with the basics, thanks anyway. GCC and Emacs combine to claim 33% of the total votes. After that, it's Eclipse and KDevelop. Among write-ins, vi, vim and VisualWorks SmallTalk are the most popular.
vi and vi clones
GNU Emacs
Last year, vim beat vi by almost three times as many votes; this year, it was by only twice as many. Hmm, I wonder what that could mean? Seriously, what's the voting process for if not a chance to develop new conspiracy theories? Coming in at a strong number four is Kate, the KDE Advanced Text Editor. Could readers finally be ready for a modern user interface in an editor instead of Meta-x this and Escape-colon-that? Stay tuned.
KDE Desktop Sharing
Be honest now, you all were most anxious about voting in this category, weren't you? Nothing screams excitement like sysadmin tools. But we're grateful to have them, that's for sure. Webmin collected barely more than 25% of the total votes to take first place. On the write-in side, a collection of text editors and shells claimed most of the votes.
HP Integrity rx4640
HP ProLiant DL585
SGI Altix 3000
HP claimed first and second place for a combined 35% of all votes in this category. Last year's first-place finisher, the Altix 3000, fell to third this year. The write-in votes featured a lot of Dell and IBM server variations. And, of course, many of you continue to build your own servers.
Cyclades AlterPath ACS
Net Integrator, vMark 1
Veritas Storage Foundation, v4.5
Only a few hundred voters expressed a preference in this category. Among those who did vote, the Cyclades AlterPath ACS was the favorite for a second year.
Monarch Hornet 64 Custom System
Linux Certified LC2430 Linux Laptop
EmperorLinux Toucan Laptop, vT42p
Laptops continue to dominate this category, although various Zaurus PDA models made a number of appearances in the write-in section. The big hardware vendors—Dell, IBM, Sony, Toshiba and Apple—ate up most of the write-in votes. HP introduced its Linux laptop too late to catch the voting, so we'll see how they do next time.
AMD Athlon
Intel Pentium 2, 3 and 4
PowerPC and Opteron switched places this year, but only 20 votes separated the two architectures. Meanwhile, Athlon held on to the top spot for another year, having received 40% of the total vote count. Intel Itanium picked up the most write-in votes.
Receiving 72% of the votes, OpenOffice.org is by far this year's favorite office program. In fact, OpenOffice.org received 2,180 more votes than the second-place finisher, AbiWord. It's hard to beat office software that makes more logical sense than its competitors, is compatible with almost everything and, oh yeah, is free.
Ah, favorite programming language—time for a flame war. A bit of a shake-up this year: after being knocked out of first place last year, C reclaims it this year and C++ drops to third. The P language in the top three is Perl, while PHP slips to fourth place, closely followed by Python. The voting was close this year, too; only 59 votes separated C from C++.
I'm pretty sure that gentoo is #1 now. Is there 2007 award for compare?

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Notre Dame And Charlie Weis Deserve Each Other More Than Ever
Don't act like a small (or large) part of you didn't smile or nod with approval when Charlie Weis was dropped like a sack of potatoes during the Michigan-Notre Dame game. Let's relive one of the few Michigan highlights from their wonderfully expensive failure of a season.
Perhaps some of you simply enjoy seeing horrific injuries and people in pain. Most of you probably harbor some sense that Weis is a douchebag and he had it coming. Everyone's a big winner today. It's official. He excels at being an asshole.
When [Jeannette Coach Ray] Reitz told Weis that [Terrelle] Pryor might attend a USC quarterbacks camp, he remembers Weis replying: "Why send him there? If he's with me for one day he'll be good, two days he'll be great and three days he'll be incredible."Later, unprompted, Weis asked the Jeannette coaches if they wanted to take a picture of his Super Bowl ring. "I did it, just to be polite, and then gave [the picture] to one of the kids," Reitz recalled.
…"Here's the best part," Reitz recalled. "He says to Terrelle: 'Call me tomorrow at 6. I'll be watching where Brady Quinn gets drafted.' "
Pryor never called. He chose Ohio State.
Weis is so good at being a jackass that former players and alums remember Gerry Faust with fondness when compared to him because "he was a nice guy".
Weis celebrated barely beating Navy on Saturday as though he won the Fiesta Bowl. Congratulations on making a bowl. If that's all Notre Dame wanted, mission accomplished. As pointed out by Teddy Greenstein and numerous others, Weis' best season was with Tyrone Willingham's players and their records are comparable. His players are nothing special and there's no reason to think there will be significant improvement next season.
Notre Dame has no one to blame but itself for the sham that is the Charlie Weis era so far. He received an absurd contract extension without the results to back it up. It couldn't wait to bend over for him and now it would look stupid canning him especially after George O'Leary and Willingham who most agree was given the shaft. Make no mistake. The school isn't getting rid of Weis due to the contract despite what they say. Let's not even talk about the money they would owe him.
Notre Dame fell for the three Super Bowl ring monte and Terrelle Pryor didn't. That tells you everything you need to know about Notre Dame football. At this rate, even hoodlums and thugs wouldn't play for Weis. So far his tenure is failure for a program as storied as Notre Dame and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving person.

AM, I have done this several time. In fact. my son had the same Pontiac referred to in the original post, with a side plug and no dipstick or filler tube, and I helped him with that.
I sold the 1969 Dodge Custom Sportvan at 21 years, in 1990. The transmission never needed service. I got rid of the Chevy Lumina APV with 185,000 miles. The transmission never needed service. I have had a couple of other high mileage cars but they were manual transmission units.
I don't see how to access the image you referred to.

Pardon me, but I respectfully disagree with the idea of "
", "
", "
long duration
", or "
" fluids. A given car "designer" can of course, decide a newer fluid could have an "extended" life... but another one with higher worries about warranty claims will include some kind of exceptions to the owner's manual... that usually take the form of: "
In severe conditions...
" or "
in fleet service
...", or "
In hot and dusty conditions
..." or anything similar phrase to cover himself and conserve his employment.
I kindly invite you to get your hands dirty and do a transmission service yourself. Independently of what says the ATF bottle sticker, the shop manual or the owner's manual, what you will see is more or less the same picture of the image I'm attaching: the magnet inside the pan will have a "Sea Orchid" appearance. Those 'spines'are metallic dust or very fine "shavings" suspended in thick mud, aligned like spines by the magnetic field. This photo was taken after 50,000 miles of driving, well before any transmission symtoms appear, and the metallic contents (3/4 teaspoon) are considered "normal" for a properly working transmission with this much use. Wear particles come from clutch packs, sliding bands and a very little part, from actual gear wear. Now, NO known transmission filter has a 100% efficiency in filtering small size particles, as size and pressure loss constraints product of the limited available space effectively limit the area/volume of the replaceable filter inside the pan. After such mileage, ATF appearance has changed from light Cherry-Red transparent looks, to very dark reddish brown opaque color. Smell is quite different. Now, viscosity is appreciably changed, but Viscosity Index is way down, surface tension is up, solid contents are way-way up. The ATF has lost its "light ends", and has much more heavier hydrocarbons, hard carbon and long chain residues. It simply DOES NOT lubricate as well as new fluid, its heat transfer properties limit this task and the fluid is no longer able to remove and transfer the heat load anymore, so that the operating temperature goes up in a vicious cycle. If you believe that "modern" ATF's can take the abuse and still perform like new after 40,000 miles or so, be forewarned your transmission is prone to fail and needing a complete rebuild. Fine if you want to trash the vehycle after 4-5 years or so. It only takes one severe overheating episode to start the degradation, and it wouldn't need to be when hauling a heavy trailer, as a very hot day in stalled traffic for longer than a couple of hours will get the ATF very hot, owing to ever reducing frontal air intake openings, heavier cars that still have a transmission designed years ago for lighter vehicles. I very much prefer the tried and true dipstick than any optimistic claim that the new marvelous fluid is permanent. (
I just remembered the thousands of damaged engines because of too optimistic "DEXCOOL" claimed advantages
!). AND while newer "synthetic formulations" of ATF's can have better hi-temp properties, they have their limits too, and cannot perform well after an additional 20-30% more miles, because they will become contaminated by metallic wear products (clutch pack wear IS an unavoidable fact of life, independently of what overly confident product advertisers wish to convey). I have two old MOPAR vehicles that are the envy of the local dealer (where I only go to buy the original ATF and/or Coolant, as I have done some tests at my workplace and found them to be high-quality when compared to commercial aftermarket offerings). I believe that the statements in several places on typical Owner's Manuals are deliberately written to prevent overly worried novice owners from becoming too concerned and taking too much time from dealers with over exaggerated concerns. In reality, ATF color and smell is still very valuable and a practical means to quickly distinguish if an ATF is too degraded without having to run expensive specialized laboratory tests. The fast rule is: New ATF shoud be transparent, light Cherry Red color, and has a characteristic odor (you can open a bottle to get an idea). Still good but used ATF will appear as brick-red to light brown or reddish brown color
accompanied by a foul strong-burnt odor. Overheated and degraded ATF will not have any of the reddish tinge, being totally dark brown to black color. Amclaussen.

To Am... I was told by an engineer from Caterpillar that the plug was removed from the transmission because too many DYI got confused and were draining the transmission when they wanted to change the oil.
As far as the dipstick, I will add that to my things to look for when purchasing a different vehicle. I was totally unaware that such a vehicle was produced and for me that would be a reason not to buy.

AM, These days there's really no reason to check transmission fluid any more frequently than the differential. A reasonable interval corresponds to each oil change. Seals are better. Fluid is designated for the life of the car. Owner's manuals even tell you that you can ignore the darkening which takes place over time. (Quickie oil-change places are notorious for preying on owners who don't read their manuals.)

I have the impression that design for straigtforward maintenance was slowly but more or less constantly improving from the 50's (I was born in 54, so I never knew the older designs), to the 90's, with many examples either better or worse. But, later-on, it has been a Monkeyish nightmare! I'll leave on you to explain how have things go so bad!!! ( I don't want to loose my temper right now!). Amclaussen.

Larry: There is a difference... Checking differential oil level is done at quite long intervals, since, unless the vehycle is leaving a puddle of thick oil on the floor, it should be OK and usually is. On the other side, even when automatic transmissions do perform aparently fine, a too-degraded ATF will damage the transmission badly and soon. Having the dipstick at a convenient place and height eases the task of replacing the ATF and performing a complete flush. But needing to go under the (usually) low vehycle to perform that task either requires a) lifting the entire vehycle, b) having a pit built at home, or c) having to depend on a transmission shop... those being inconvenient or too expensive. I'll take sides with Elizabeth. Additionally, the viscosity of differential gear oil makes it much more easy to seal properly than the thin ATF. A hole with a theaded plug will require an extra O-ring... that was the reason for eliminating the hole in the transmission pan, now you have to remove the entire pan to drain or change the ATF.

"...should be sitting at the salvage yard"
In our economy, in some cases, a just-ten-year-old car could be still a desirable one. Personally, I learned from my late father how to conserve a car for many years. He gave my his 1967 model car to become my second one in 1977, and I kept it
as a daily
for another 27 years... of almost daily use. He had an older Ford ('58 Fairlane) for nine years when he bought new the '67 Falcon-GT that I discarded around 2004. I now have two turbocharged Dodges R/T (1991 and 2002) and plan to keep them alive and running fast for as long as I can. With some improvement on emissions system, the older one still meets local limits with easy. My father always said that it was foolish to change a car every year or two, just to have a "recent model car", and in this way of thinking, I was able to learn automechanics by myself, and now do perform almost 99% of repair and maintenance at home.
Don't even start me on opining on later models design please! (I'll just tell you that the same maintenance or repair task on my 1991, takes usually less than 25% of the time than my 2002 requires, and gives me proportionately less knukle-skinning or flesh burning than my older model, but compared to later model designs, at least I don't have to drop the entire engine-transaxle assembly to change some sparkplugs, as some of the later, "
very advanced
" designs require! (Do anyone still believe that Monkey auto designers don't exist? Amclaussen, Mexico City.

You have it right
! I fully agree with you.
Let's now theorize on WHY this happens.
A large part of the problem could well lie in the design of the transmissions, since too many times the vehicle manufacturer pretends to use tha same transmission model in too many car models (they elegantly mention the word
"...) but the fact is that a given transmission that was originally meant for a 2,800 pound car, ends up being used in a later model car or minivan, that weights 25 or 30% more... destroying whatever durability it had in the original application.
The second (probably more important) reason, is that the average owner believes that automatic transmissions or transaxles "don't need any service ever". This complete neglect is of little consequence when the vehicle is not used heavily, as most owners respect legal speed limits and never put the pedal-to-the-metal. But any one can see/smell the difference between new and heavily abused transmission fluid. It is a fact that ATF does suffer degradation in the form of oxidation, light ends evaporation, some polymerization and additive depletion. IT is commonly (and wrongly) defined as "burning". But for those adventurous DIY's, a
ATF change with flush is
the way to go.
To perform this task, you need to get about 133% of new ATF of the proper brand and type, a new ATF filter that goes inside the trans pan, sometimes a couple of o-rings, depending on the transmission model, ATF-resistant silicon sealer or pan gasket, some cans of brake parts cleaner in spray cans, funnels, two yards of transparent vinyl hose and clamps. To perform the complete flush, you start removing the transmission pan, this will ONLY remove about 40-50% of the total of circulating ATF, because the rest will stay inside the Torque-Converter, which seldom has any means to empty it... therefore, you replace the filter inside the transmission, clean the pan and the magnet (it should have less than one teaspoon of metallic mudlike residue), reinstall the pan and seal it (which requires a perfect cleaning of the sealing surfaces -use plenty of brake cleaner!- and once sealed, put back just enough ATF to reach the proper level (you need to know where it should be when trans is not warm), and install a transparent vinyl hose from the ATF outlet that goes to the ATF cooler in the radiator or cooler itself, and use it to discharge the used ATF into a large container (about 10 quarts or more), previously marked in quarts numbered, in order to see how fast you'll need to add the rest of the new ATF. With everything ready (you'll need to place a small table at hand, to put all the remaining ATF bottles open and ready to go, visibly numbered), you start the engine in either PARK or NEUTRAL. As soon as the transmission input shaft is turned by the engine, it will immediately start to pump out the old ATF inside the Torque converter and valve body, so you will need to REPLACE the pumped out ATF with new one, WITHOUT altering the proper level of the transmission fluid (plus or minus one quart, no more); a helper comes in handy, as he/she can tell you how fast is the trans filling the large container saying "
six quarts out, six ans a half, seven...
etc. The reason for this is that you need to maintain the proper level: too much and the transmission will start churning out the excess, too little and the ATF will become aereated and foamed all over; but with the precaution of adding the quarts at the same approximate speed the trans is pumping out the old fluid, (which can be easily seen because you previously marked the receiving container), it won't be too difficult to do. There is some new-old ATF intermixing, that is the reason to buy about 33% more than the trans capacity, to FLUSH it out. Placing the transparent discharge hose against a brightly lit white cardboard piece will tell you perfectly when the old fluid will be completely removed fron the vehicle. You could place a 4" lenght of transparent hose filled with new ATF next to the illuminated discharge hose, which will give an instant color comparison. In my case, the Trans holds about 9.5 quarts, and I started seeing a very notable color change at quart number 7 after replacing the 4 quarts held by the pan; three additional quarts later, the color didn't change anymore. Too see/smell how degraded is yout ATF, you can use a white paper napkin; it will quickly show any discoloration, and your nose can easily tell you how different is the odor of worn and too used vs
ATF. I do this service routinely to my three cars every 30,000 miles or so. Good luck, it is not really difficult to do, and will reward you with a lot more miles of trouble free transmission performance and a lot more money saved in repair/rebuild costs. Amclaussen.

Re: Tranny fill port

While the "
it keeps warranty costs down by preventing less than knowledgeable owners from installing incorrect fluids" explanation
truth, it is much more likely that it is done simply because it lowers the manufacturing costs a few pennies, which, by auto industry standards, "has to be the way"...
This made me remember that on a pair of Dodge models, the REQUIRED ATF fluid is their own "
" and "
brand one, because their transmissions need a slightly different fluid characteristic (related to slip-stick friction) that causes those transmissions to misbehave if any other fluid (like the ever present
) is put onto them (a couple of quarts will do that). But interestingly enough, in one of them the dipstick is wrongly marked saying those improper fluids! Only the Owner's manual and the fluid sticker specified the correct fluid...
Fortunately, the dipstick is well located and far enough from rotating or hot parts that cheking level is very straightforward, even for a novice. Add that one to "
one thing Dodge got right", which is much welcomed when you decide to change and flush the old fluid out, because you will have to add about 55% of the fluid volume with the engine running in Neutral or Park in order to completely flush out any old fluid. (Pls see my comment on "the proper way to service an Auto Trans above). Amclaussen.

Smart Machines Make the Grade for Control Applications
For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? Thats where the smart machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This discussion will examine whats possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.

'JEV' was outdone by teammate Ricciardo on debut at Albert Park but made amends with his maiden World Championship points next time out in Malaysia, where the 22-year-old Frenchman finished eighth.
That was his highest placing for the season – but he repeated it three more times to amass 16 points and finish ahead of the Aussie in 17th place overall. One of those three was at Spa-Francorchamps, the ultimate test of a Grand Prix driver, so there is clearly good material to work with.
On the debit side, Vergne was frequently out-qualified by his teammate, and it was the qualifying session in Japan that got him on the wrong side of the race stewards for allegedly blocking an irate Bruno Senna in the Williams.
But this will be JEV's third season in the team colours – he was their test driver in 2011 – and he has been making all the right noises about working with the engineers, learning about being an F1 driver in and out of the car, and building on his first season as a more experienced man.
Like Dan, he will need to do all that and more if he is not to go the same way as other promising young drivers in the Toro Rosso camp before him.
