Lanxess AG (Leverkusen, Germany; www.lanxess.com) is strengthening its standing as the world's leading producer of high-performance rubber. Following a feasibility study, the company has decided to convert production of emulsion styrene butadiene rubber (E-SBR) used in standard tires, to solution styrene butadiene rubber (S-SBR) used in high-performance "green tires" at its site in Triunfo (Rio Grande do Sul) in southern Brazil. Lanxess is the first company to carry out such a conversion.
The future capacity for S-SBR in in Triunfo will be 110,000 metric tons (m.t.) per year, exactly the same as the current E-SBR capacity. The switch in production technology represents an investment of €80 million, which will be financed from the company's cash-flow. Up to 500 temporary workers will be needed during the conversion phase. The plant will produce the latest grades of S-SBR at the end of 2014. A regular supply of E-SBR to customers will be maintained from the company's plant in Duque de Caxias (Rio de Janeiro) in Brazil, which has enough production capacity to supply the entire Brazilian E-SBR demand. E-SBR is mainly used in the manufacturing and retreading of truck tires, which means tire carcasses can be reused several times, thus saving raw materials for tire production.
Lanxess is the world's largest producer of high-performance rubbers, including S-SBR and neodymium-based performance butadiene rubber (Nd-PBR) sold under the Buna brand name. Global growth for both rubber types is estimated at roughly 10%/yr, up to 2017, as consumers shift to more fuel-efficient and environmentally-friendly "green tires".
Demand for "green tires" is being driven by the megatrend mobility, above all in the regions of Asia and Latin America, as the middle class there becomes more affluent. In addition, demand will accelerate as tire labeling continues to be introduced around the world.
November 2012 saw the launch of mandatory tire labeling in the E.U., similar to the consumer labels found on refrigerators and washing machines. Tires are graded from A (best) to G according to their fuel efficiency and from A to F according to their wet grip. Rolling noise is also measured. Therefore, the new legislation provides greater transparency for consumers by highlighting the added value of "green tires".
Japan and South Korea were the first countries in the world to introduce a labeling system. After a voluntary tire label was introduced in Japan in January 2010, South Korea launched its voluntary labeling program in November 2011 and introduced a mandatory label in December 2012. The Brazilian government aims to implement tire labeling, modeled on the E.U. standards, as of October 2016, while the topic in China is taking shape as part of the country's current five-year-plan.
Studies show that 20–30% of a vehicle's fuel consumption and 24% of roadvehicle's CO2 emissions are related to tires. "Green tires" can reduce fuel consumption by 5–7% and have a shorter cost amortization period in comparison to other fuel-saving technologies in cars such as automatic start-stop systems and hybrid drives.

About Amy Umble:
Amy Umble is health reporter for The Free Lance-Star
A pretty good joke
Libby Wasem, staff director at Fredericksburg Counseling Services, was one of the speakers at Wednesday night's Cancer Survivor Symposium at Mary Washington Hospital. The session was sponosred by the hospital's Cancer Center.
One of the things Wasem talked about was the healing power of laughter, recalling the writings of the late Norman Cousins, former editor of The Saturday Review and author of "Anatomy of an Illness."
To practice what she preached, Wasem read from Garrison Keillor's "Pretty Good Joke Book." One of her offerings:
At the retirement home, the old lady said to the old man, "If you drop your pants, I bet I can tell your age."
So the man dropped his pants, and she said, "You're 83."
"You're right," the man said. "How could you tell?"
"You told me yesterday," the woman said.

Mirics Targets ARM Processor-based Mobile Computing Devices with DAB, DAB+
London - Oct 27, 2011 - Mirics Semiconductor has completed development of DAB and DAB+ systems for ARM processor-based applications. The intent is to bring low-cost, region-independent mobile TV and radio reception to media rich smartphones and tablets.
The development expands Mirics' ARM Cortex-A9 processor-based FlexiTV platform that already works with T-DMB.
DAB+ is an extension of DAB - it uses the same physical layer but encodes the audio using AAC giving the consumer better audio quality (at the very least subjectively). It is hoped that the DAB and DAB+ systems will be demonstrated on smartphones in 2012.

Hezbollah sting bust sees first phone-unlock DMCA conviction
A Philadelphia federal court has accepted a guilty plea from one Mohamad Majed, who admitted breaching the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in unlocking thousands of phones for resale. The phones were locked to TracFone, a virtual operator in the US which specialises in pre-paid connections and heavily-subsidised handsets. …
Good to hear the American view for once
on what constitutes a terrorist organisation. Just like American political forces, Hezbollah operate in exactly the same way, they also heavily involved in political and social activities, not just bombing the shite out of some random stranger in a foreign country. The only difference I can see, is that one side are radical die hard right wing religious crackpots and the other are radical die hard non christian religious militants.
Reminds me of a joke. The difference between a woman with PMT (U.S.A) and a terrorist? You can negotiate with a terrorist.
Let me get this straight
Trillions of dollars are being spent on 'The War on Terror' and this guy gets caught because his neighbour is suspicious of a carpet delivery?
See Icon for appropriate response.
ot: US spurned Gary McKinnon plea from Gordon Brown
This *is* interesting. At least it shows that Gordo made the effort. It also shows the true nature of the 'special relationship` ..
WikiLeaks cables: US spurned Gary McKinnon plea from Gordon Brown
The guy who pled guilty is the fall guy who takes one for the "team" and thereby protects the larger organisation. In return he receives the promise of glory for his selflessness (read martyrdom) and a promise of paradise in the next life?
What a funny little set of beliefs.
"What a funny little set of beliefs."
Sums up religion in general.
Hezbollah? Terrorist?
Terrorists only in the USA & Canada.
Rest of the world sees doesn't perceive them in the same way - except the UK which says the 'military wing' is terrorist.
So what was this carpet smuggler/used phone salesman funding - bombs or medicine?
@ Hezbollah? Terrorist?
"Rest of the world sees doesn't perceive them in the same way"
Apart from the Israelis. But they are Gods chosen people right so they get whatever they want, by whatever methods they seem are appropriate - without having to answer to anyone because everyone is supposed to feel sorry for or agree with them.
>>"So what was this carpet smuggler/used phone salesman funding - bombs or medicine?"
It doesn't necessarily matter if he was funding it in a way that was against the law - they'd be able to get him either way.
@Aristotles slow and dimwitted horse
Not forgetting that if you disagree with Israel over anything you're immediately labelled an anti-Semite.
Of course, the USA's definition of terrorism managed to miss the ONE organization that looks an awful lot like Hezzbollah - the IRA. One part political, one part terrorists...but somehow it was just dandy for the IRA to do the bulk of their fundraising in the US for decades with no bother at all from the US government.
One doesn't have to be God-chosen to tell that guys who hide rocket launchers under their beds and shoot missiles from refugee camps on civilian targets are terrorists
Now give me my talit
oh great another antisemite
You probably the type that tells the joke about big noses because air is free don't you.? Oh wait thats somebody else. NM.
why did the idiot plead guilty?
The only way they would ever charge someone with DMCA violation is if they plead guilty (can't appeal in that case). Everyone knows the DMCA is largely unconstitutional and even with our current right wing Supreme Court nobody would dare chance bringing this big biz lucrative joke of a law before an actual court for scrutiny.
Nasty organisation, however you look at it
Exists for the main purpose of wiping out Israel. A puppet of Iran mostly. The rest of the Moslem world is Sunni, generally, except for half of Iraq.
Wikipedia article:
Hezbollah[1] (Arabic: حزب الله ḥizbu-illāh(i),[2] literally "Party of God") is a Shi'a paramilitary group and political party based in Lebanon.[3][4][5] It is regarded as a resistance movement throughout much of the Arab and Muslim worlds,[3] and is supported by Iran and Syria. Multiple countries, including Sunni Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan,[6] have condemned actions by Hezbollah. The United States, United Kingdom, Egypt,[7] Israel, Australia, and Canada regard Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, in whole or in part.[8]
Hezbollah first emerged in response to the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, during the Lebanese civil war.[3][9] Its leaders were inspired by Ayatollah Khomeini, and its forces were trained and organized by a contingent of Iranian Revolutionary Guards.[10] Hezbollah's 1985 manifesto listed its four main goals as "Israel's final departure from Lebanon as a prelude to its final obliteration," ending "any imperialist power in Lebanon," submission of the Phalangists to "just rule" and bringing them to trial for their crimes, and giving the people the chance to choose "with full freedom the system of government they want," while we not hide our commitment to the rule of Islam."[11][12][13] Hezbollah leaders have also made numerous statements calling for the destruction of Israel, which they refer to as a "Zionist entity... built on lands wrested from their owners."[12][13]
PLED guilty
It should be noted that this guy pled guilty, it did not go to trial where he could have argued that unlocking a phone does not breach the DMCA as recently affirmed by the Library of Congress.
@Justin 15
>>"It should be noted that this guy pled guilty, it did not go to trial where he could have argued that unlocking a phone does not breach the DMCA as recently affirmed by the Library of Congress."
The article said that unlocking for personal use after expiry of a subsidised period was exempted from the act.
That sounds like a fairly specific exemption, and does seem to square with things written elsewhere saying that the 2009 iteration of the exemption specifically applied to used phones, not new ones, so seems to have been designed to allow individual users to switch carriers after a while, but also to not allow people to buy bulk subsidised phones and then unlock them for resale.
He could have argued his case in court, but maybe he didn't think he'd be likely to win.
Hezbollah must be shaking in their boots
What a wuss of a charge - hacking phones and breaching Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
The phones were legally acquired and legally sold on, not like they were like Blue Boxes - which Apple's Jobs made when he was younger - so there was no telecommunications fraud.
Pity we didn't hear about the price differential between the cost of the telephones and the price of the 'heavily subsidised' units.
Perhaps if had made one phone call from each handset he could have claimed they had all been used for personal purposes.
Could Cellco's use this against subscribes who jailbreak their 'subsidised' handsets?
@Sandra Greer
yes, really nasty organisation.
reading further down the wiki article you cite:
Hezbollah currently operates at least four hospitals, twelve clinics, twelve schools and two agricultural centres that provide farmers with technical assistance and training. "
The b*st*rds, have they no shame?
Good, send him away
To my knowledge tracfone has extremely cheap handsets. To boot, their plans are cheap too. It stands to reason that for them to keep it so cheap, and thereby allowing my family mobile communication, that there aren't people taking the mickey out of the system. Surely there's a really good reason the phones are locked in the first place.

The captain stated that the ride had been smooth at their cruise altitude of 36,000 feet, and the seatbelt sign was off. He further stated that there was some thunderstorm activity, and some towering cumulus in the area, and that the airplane's radar indicated the presence of a cell about 30 miles south of the airplane's position, with tops that reached about 28,000 to 30,000 feet. He said they encountered an area of higher clouds, but the radar still did not indicate any activity, and within a few seconds they felt an initial bump, followed by "moderate" turbulence. He said he then turned the seatbelt sign on, and a short while later he was notified that there were some injured passengers and flight attendants. The NTSB's Recorder Laboratory, Washington DC, read out the DFDR, and the data indicated that at 13:27:22 FDR Recorded GMT, at a pressure altitude of 36,000 feet, the vertical acceleration changed from 0.9 g's to 1.8 g's to -0.5 g's to 1.7 g's and then back to 0.9 g's all within 3 seconds, consistent with clear air turbulence.

Guilt-Free Super Bowl Snacks
The Super Bowl is the second biggest eating holiday of the year (after Thanksgiving!). Have no regrets with Hungry Girl Lisa Lillien's healthy snack ideas.
By Lisa Lillien
If you're craving Buffalo wings...
THE TOUCHDOWN: Don't knock faux meats--some are really great. Four of Lightlife's Buffalo Smart Wings have 100 calories and 2.5 grams of fat, and MorningStar Farms's awesome version has 200 calories and 8 grams of fat for five. (You still get protein, too--from soy.) Either is perfect with Bolthouse Farms Chunky Blue Cheese Yogurt Dressing; there are 35 calories and 2.5 grams of fat in 2 Tbsp.
THE FUMBLE: Forget standard boneless wings. A serving will set you back about 600 calories and 30 grams of fat. And that's before you dip into blue-cheese dressing.

Can You Name That Classic Shotgun?
Pheasants Forever member Robert R. Waring, Georgetown, Texas, sent this photo of his father Roy James Waring (1898-1988) after a 1921 hunt near Lake Thompson, South Dakota, his home state.
Roy's fowling piece is a common one, but the story is unique. Robert tells me his father purchased the gun second-hand in 1920 for $50, two weeks wages back then!
"My dad was an excellent shot. I still have that shotgun and will someday pass it on to my grandsons," Robert wrote.
In case you're interested, the vehicle is a 1921 Ford Model T roadster. "In 1923, dad purchased a Dodge coupe with a heater and windup windows. He was tired of freezing to death in the T, which had neither." Robert wrote.
Like his son today, Roy hunted into his 80s. "Dad taught me how to hunt and obey the safety rules. I still go to South Dakota to hunt pheasant every year."
What an inspiring story. Pheasants Forever has the most dedicated members and hardcore hunters! I'll post the answer Monday.
Answer: The gun, of course, is a Winchester Model 12, 12 gauge with 30-inch barrel….perfect for shooting the many ducks he has hanging from the Model T.
The Model 12 was, appropriately enough, first made in 1912. We're all pretty familiar with this gun, so here's some Model 12 war history you may not know: More than 80,000 Model 12 "trench" models were purchased during World War II by the United States Marine Corps, Army Air Forces and Navy, mostly for use in the Pacific war (1941-45) against the fanatical Japanese who were fond of mass suicide charges when things went bad for them – making the Model 12 a perfect defensive weapon in such instances.
It was also used against the North Koreans (June 1950) and Chinese, who invaded in October 1950, during the Korean War and against the North Vietnamese in the Vietnam War (American involvement was from 1950-1973). So many Model 12s were sold to the military, that few were available for civilian use, thus opening up the market for Ithaca to produce and sell a similar shotgun.
The Nomad is written by Mark Herwig, Editor of the Pheasants Forever Journal and Quail Forever Journal. Have a classic photo you'd like to share? Send your pre-1980 upland hunting related photo to Mark at firstname.lastname@example.com

New 542-HP Range Rover Sport SVR Unveiled Priced at $110,475
(Aug 11, 2014)
@will will the hole purpose of an SUV is to go off-road and I base my judgement purely upon other SUVs such. As x5 m and q7 sport which have been converted to sporty cars hence they have lost their true DNA of off-roaders. Any car could go off-road but cars like this are made to do so well, in short you missed my point.

Israel-based algae firm Qualitas Health says it is on track to produce commercial quantities of EPA-rich algal omega-3 following its first industrial-scale harvest in the USA.
Qualitas said that the first harvest at its new US-based algae facility in West Texas has brought a crop yield and quality that is 'exceeding expectations'.
"We are pleased that our first significant algae harvest and production of omega-3 oil has met the highest standards of consistency, quality and purity," said Dr. Isaac Berzin, founder and chief technology officer at Qualitas Health.
Berzin was one of the first algae entrepreneurs, having previously worked with MIT, NASA and having been named in the Time 100 most influential people in 2008 for his work in biofuels.
Since then he has moved away from biofuels, to explore the nutritional properties of algae and the potential to create nutritional supplements and ingredients from algal oil.
David Hart, VP marketing for Qualitas said that the commercial oil ingredient being produced by the firm – known as EicoOil – is a premium omega-3 ingredient rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and polar lipids, "which gives the algal oil a similar make up to krill oil."
"All of the omega-3 in EicoOil is EPA. We have set the bar at about 25-30% omega-3 in the oil, of which almost 100% is EPA with no DHA."
"Our algae makes EPA - not because we made it do so, just because that's what it makes," said Hart – adding that the phospholipid make-up of the algal oil gives a chemical make-up more like krill oil than fish oil.

>The August issue of Notes from the Horn Book is now out and about.
>New Notes, Back to School edition
>As the school year begins, many students will be tested on their summer reading — either by giving book reports, writing essays, or taking essay tests. A student whom I tutor is reading Fahrenheit 451, and reading it with him has made me wonder what the best dystopian literature for young adult and youth readers is.
So far, for older students I've thought of Ayn Rand's Anthem, Brave New World (which I think is a better choice than Fahrenheit 451 for 10th grade summer reading), and the short story "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut. For younger students, there's The Giver (of course), City of Ember, The Hunger Games, the Pretties/Uglies/Specials series, and Feed. I also seem to recall a hefty children's fantasy quartet in which families are assigned colors (browns, reds, yellows) according to a strict caste system, but I can't remember the name of the book, and I'm not sure if it would actually qualify as dystopian.
Anyone have further suggestions, or thoughts on the literary merits of the ones I've thought of so far? What is — if there is one — the BEST dystopian novel for young adults? And for middle schoolers?
Thanks for your help.

Ferrell Autogas is supplying the fuel station and dispenser and providing propane safety training for staff. The conversion costs nearly $9,000 per vehicle; however, the project is being funded through an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant, awarded to the UG in 2010.
Through its partnership with Ferrell, the UG is able to lock in an annual savings less than one-half the cost of gasoline, said UG Fleet Manager Merle McCullough.
Also referred to as autogas and liquefied petroleum gas, propane is made in the U.S. and is a cleaner fuel, which could improve the life of the engine. In addition to the annual savings in fuel costs by establishing a set price, propane fleet vehicles, on average, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 18% and create 20% less nitrogen oxide, up to 60% less carbon monoxide, and fewer particulate emissions than gasoline versions of the same models, according to the Propane Education & Research Council.

In 2001, the first iTAN Sun Spray Spa opened its doors. It had a simple goal?to make clients feel and look lovely with professional tanning services. Today, the spa has more than 30 Southern California franchises, each offering a slightly different assortment of teeth whitening, tanning beds, spray-tanning booths, and self-serve spa offerings.
The Smart Tan?certified staff prioritizes keeping up with tanning technology by stocking state-of-the-art tanning beds such as the Sun Angel, which uses sensors to customize a blend of UVA and UVB rays, practically eliminating overexposure. Many beds come equipped with stereo sound systems, misters, and fans. Just down the hall from these beauty gadgets, Mystic and airbrush machines bronze limbs without UV rays, and self-administered spa treatments dispense relaxing red-light facials, infrared-heat bodywraps, and aqua massages.
The joys of a massage or the relief of a chiropractic adjustment?and the stresses of physical work?play out partly in the muscles. Learn just what pumps the body up with Groupon?s guide to the muscular system.
The human body has more than 630 muscles keeping it upright and mobile. They make up almost half its weight and power the movements of the bones, the blood, and even the food in the stomach. Perhaps the most familiar muscles are those seen in bodybuilding contests and facial-expression contests: the skeletal, or voluntary, muscles. They?re attached to our bones and controlled by our brains, which zap them with electrical signals to cause their fibers to contract. During a muscle contraction, filaments inside the muscle fibers slide together, stacking up on one another so that the larger fiber shortens. In shortening, the fibers gain thickness?a phenomenon we notice as flexing. Whatever muscles do, they accomplish by this single pulling action. If a bicep (part of a category of muscles known as flexors) flexes to lift a barbell, it needs a tricep (an extensor), pulling in the opposite direction, to bring the arm back down.
The other two types of muscles are smooth muscles and cardiac muscles, and both are beyond our conscious control. Cardiac muscles control the beating of the heart, contracting the chambers to push blood throughout the body. But the blood doesn?t ride to the toes on that momentum alone. Lining the blood vessels are smooth muscles that help push it along. These also line the esophagus, stomach, and intestine to move food through the digestive track, and can even help regulate the body?s temperature by opening and closing capillaries near the skin surface, all without conscious effort. The subconscious brain is also happy to turn muscles to ends beyond their apparent purpose: for instance, what we experience as shivering from cold is simply the brain causing the muscles to spasm so they will generate heat and keep your blood and any baby chicks in your coat pockets warm.
Clocks, picture frames, and padded chairs glisten cherry-red, like licorice adorning a witch's candy cottage. A row of trapezoidal mirrors reflect a pair of velvet-covered thrones that wouldn't look out of place in a royal horse and buggy. But this isn't make-believe; this is On the Cutting Edge, a salon where beauticians wave blow dryers, nail files, and brushes in lieu of magic wands. Within their fantastical surround, staffers deftly trim and color manes or bedeck acrylic nails with designs as funky as zebra prints or as informative as last year's tax returns. The staff also gives bodies a healthy glow with various levels of spray tanning ranging from silver to platinum.
Though Magic Brow Threading Salon's staff specializes in making eyebrows look their best—using an ancient threading technique—the salon also offers other beauty services, including facials, waxing, and microdermabrasion. As skincare specialists, the licensed estheticians swear by Dermalogica products, which are available for purchase at the salon. Magic Brow also purveys handbags, fashion accessories, and eyebrow powder and gel.
Named after the colorful bracelets that jangle on the wrists of many Indian women, Ruby's Bangles gives its patrons an opportunity to partake in ancient Eastern beauty rituals. In the spa, aestheticians use eyebrow threading techniques inspired by Egyptian beauty rituals to remove unwanted hair. Skilled henna artists can transform hands and feet with dramatic plant-ink designs. The store's boutique boasts a wide selection of Indian-inspired jewelry, including bindis, necklaces, bangles, and hip chains for belly dancing or keeping prank-prone jeans from running away.
IKON Aveda Salon & Day Spa is an Aveda concept salon with three locations. Though each one has its own unique slate of services, the overall mission is unified?to cultivate stylish, modern looks for its clients and create a welcoming atmosphere. At the Menifee location, master stylists cut, color, and texturize hair, while skin care specialists conduct botanical resurfacing treatments?alternatives to microdermabrasions?that use tourmaline gemstone to gently reduce fine lines and the tiny acrobats who walk them. The Santa Ana and Tustin locations also offer haircuts and hair treatments, as well as a selection of makeup, lash, and skincare services.

Or "Grand Theft Auto 6″ and start playing some Atelier-ish game, with a sweet loli female protagonist that do not steal nor kill….at all. Well, that's the "new" Final Fantasy. It's NOT Final Fantasy games at all and we're right to complain.

A look inside Stella McCartney's country estate
For many of us, the thought of having somewhere magical to escape to whenever we want is nothing but a distant dream. But for Stella McCartney, it's real life. Despite being one of the busiest designers in London (she just launched her children's line this week) as well as a mother-to-almost-four, she still finds time to visit her country estate and ride her horses. Set in Wiltshire, McCartney admits that the idea of a country home was mainly "a desperate mission to find land so that I could ride my horse. I wasn't really interested in building."
What her and her husband ended up with was a big renovation job that is still a work in progress. "Every morning I go, Oh, my God, is it going to last another ten years?" she says. In fact, friends including Gwyneth Paltrow, Valentino and Tom Ford helped them create their own personal Garden of Eden by giving trees to be planted instead of traditional wedding gifts.
Now McCartney has opened her grand hideaway to American Vogue, allowing Bruce Weber to photograph her and family in their natural surroundings. See more from the gorgeous photo-shoot here.

A Kingsport native has been named commander of the Army National Guard's 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment.
Maj. Gen. Terry M. Haston, Tennessee's Adjutant General, today named Col. Franklin C. McCauley Jr. to head the regiment.
Many Southeast Tennessee residents serve in the 278th, which deployed in 2004 and 201o to Iraq.
McCauley now is deputy commander of the regiment. He will replace Col. Jeffrey Holmes, who was named the commander of the 194th Engineer Brigade in Jackson earlier this week.
"Col. McCauley is a combat veteran cavalry officer who has commanded at every level within the regiment," Haston said in a news release. "He brings a great deal of experience and professionalism to the job."
The 278th is Tennessee's largest command, with units stretching from Kingsport to Memphis, and is composed of more than 3,700 soldiers.
McCauley, a special agent with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, enlisted in the Tennessee Army National Guard in 1981 and received his commission through the ROTC program at East Tennessee State University in 1983.
He holds bachelor's and master's degrees in criminal justice and has completed numerous military colleges. His awards include the Bronze Star and the Meritorious Service Medal.

Witnesses stated that they observed the helicopter hovering just above some 70 to 80 foot tall trees near the Little Beaver Creek. They said that the helicopter spun around slowly 3 to 4 times and that the main rotor was spinning slowly before it went behind the trees and crashed. The winds at the time were from 010 degrees at 6 knots. Examination of the wreckage found no evidence of pre-impact damage with the airframe, engine or flight controls, however the aircraft was over its gross weight limitations for hovering out of ground effect by 277.7 lbs. Examination of a Operations Safety Notice issued by Bell Helicopter on October 31, 1983, found that the pilot was operating in an environment conducive to loss of tail rotor effectiveness. The pilot's toxicological results were 194.000 mg/dl ethanol detected in blood and 274.000 mg/dl ethanol detected in urine.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

C. Aubrey Smith was born on July 21st, 1883 in London, England with the birth name Charles Aubrey Smith. After high school, he went on to earn a degree from Cambridge University. He first relocated to South Africa between 1888-1889 to mind for gold and it was not until he was thirty years old that he decided to pursue a career as an actor, beginning as a stage actor.
He gained over twenty years experience as a stage actor before even attempting to enter the film industry. Some of his stage credits included, "The Prisoner of Zenda" and on Broadway in, "Pygmalion".
By the age of fifty he began appearing in small parts on a number of silent films such as, "John Glayde's Honor" and "The Builder of Bridges" (both 1915).
He did not make his real mark on the industry until the 1930's when sound films came about. Some of his more prominent roles included, "Wee Willie Winkie" (1937) starring Shirley Temple, "The Four Feathers" (1939) co-starring John Clements, Ralph Richardson and June Duprez, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (1941) starring Spencer Tracy and Ingrid Bergman, "And Then There Were None" (1945) starring Barry Fitzgerald and Walter Huston and "Unconquered" (1947) starring Gary Cooper and Paulette Goddard.
In addition to making a name for himself as an actor, he was also a cricketer when he played during college. In 1932, he founded the Hollywood Cricket Club.
Smith was on the first board of the Screen Actors Guild in 1933 and received the Order of the British Empire in 1938 and in 1944, he was knighted. He was also honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
C. Aubrey Smith married only once to Isabelle Wood and together they had one child. He remained working as an actor up until he passed away on December 20th, 1948 in Beverly Hills, California after suffering from pneumonia. His remains were cremated and his ashes sent back to England and interred in his mother's grave at St. Leonard's Churchyard in Hove, East Sussex.

NORTH SMITHFIELD ŌĆö When Dave Houle returned from a vacation to Florida's East Coast back in the fall of 1990, he greeted fellow Gator's Pub co-owner Tom McGee with what he deemed a ŌĆ£fantastic ideaŌĆØ to bolster interest in their new venture.
ŌĆ£He had watched some beach volleyball down there outside a restaurant, and he thought it'd be great to start one of our own,ŌĆØ McGee explained recently of his former partner's notion. ŌĆ£He just raved about it. What sold us was there was nothing like it in our area at the time. We were out here in the boonies, and we needed to put ourselves on the map.ŌĆØ
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö Forget the 10-minute drive to the High Ridge courts in Lincoln. Mount St. Charles only had to walk across Logee Street and step onto its brand new six-court complex for its Injury Fund Tennis Challenge.
Joined by the teams from La Salle Academy, the Prout School, and the Wheeler School, as well as a large gathering of fans and alumni, the Mounties, head coach Marissa Pitrone-Marsh, and athletic director and former coach Richard Lawrence conducted a small ceremony opening the courts on a sun-drenched Friday afternoon.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō It was about 11 a.m. Friday when Gary DiSarcina received a text message from Justin Henry, a player who according to the PawSox skipper, ŌĆ£has had a rough year. He was a .300 hitter in Toledo last year, but heŌĆÖs one of the best teammates out there.ŌĆØ
Henry had a simple request. His mother was in town and was wondering if it was possible for DiSarcina to include him in the lineup for that nightŌĆÖs game against Syracuse.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Clay Buchholz classified his 3.1-inning stint at McCoy Stadium on Friday as a step forward.
ŌĆ£Tonight, I was much more impressed with the velocity that I was able to sustain over the period I was out there and being able to throw all my pitches with the same effort level and arm angle,ŌĆØ said Buchholz after scattering seven hits and allowing one run against Syracuse. ŌĆ£That was basically the final hump I had to get over as far as not having a second thought in the back of my head. It was about getting my release point down on all my pitches.ŌĆØ
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö As far as Triple-A debuts go, Matt Barnes looked quite comfortable.
The slender right-hander was in total command on the McCoy Stadium mound Thursday night, tossing 5.1 scoreless innings that featured a little bit of everything. His Pawtucket teammates were able to make Barnes a victor as the locals silenced Syracuse, 2-0, before 5,021 fans.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Teams that harbor deep playoff aspirations prefer to have all their bases covered.
In acquiring Quintin Berry, the Red Sox have sent out the following signal: They have a late-game, pinch-running weapon that figures to make manager John FarrellŌĆÖs job a bit easier when David Ortiz, Mike Napoli and Jarrod Saltalamacchia reach base.
The name of the game is scoring runs, and BerryŌĆÖs fleet-of-foot tendencies could prove quite valuable as Boston casts an eye toward October baseball.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō With all roads leading to the PawSox qualifying for the GovernorsŌĆÖ Cup playoffs for a third straight season, it raises the question of what kind of squad manager Gary DiSarcina will have at his disposal when the second season arrives.
To that end, DiSarcina admitted Wednesday that heŌĆÖs had brief conversations with Red Sox Director of Player Development Ben Crockett about how many players Pawtucket stands to lose on Sept. 1, which is the first day Major League teams are allowed to expand their rosters.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö The highly touted right-handed pitcher that breezed through the lower levels of the minor leagues ended up learning an important lesson this season ŌĆō thereŌĆÖs not always going to be smooth sailing.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö After the Pawtucket Red Sox had eked out a pair of stunning ŌĆō and thrilling ŌĆō come-from-behind, one-run victories the previous two nights, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre returned the favor on Tuesday evening.
The RailRiders notched two unearned runs, one each in the sixth and seventh frames, to thump the PawSox, 2-1, before a sparse crowd of 4,430 fans at McCoy Stadium.
Manager Dave MileyŌĆÖs crew rode a superb mound outing from starter Graham Stoneburner, not to mention fellow righty Dellin Betances, to end PawtucketŌĆÖs win streak at three.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö From Gary DiSarcinaŌĆÖs perch in the PawSox dugout, the manager is able to hone in and get a proper read on the placid look on Allen WebsterŌĆÖs face, one that until recently had singularly defined the right-handerŌĆÖs facial expression on the mound.
ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs got a demeanor thatŌĆÖs really laid back, which is useful at times,ŌĆØ noted DiSarcina.

Nebraska senior Jordan Hooper earned first-team All-Region 6 honors from the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) on Tuesday.
The 6-2 forward from Alliance, Neb., captured Big Ten Player-of-the-Year honors on her way to averaging 20.4 points and 9.1 rebounds per game for the Big Ten Tournament champion Huskers.
Hooper finished her four-year Nebraska career by leading the Huskers to their third consecutive NCAA Tournament, while averaging 25 victories over her final three seasons.
Hooper, who made 131 consecutive starts to rank second in Husker history trailing only Lindsey Moore's 132, set a Nebraska record with 295 career three-pointers. She also tied 2010 WBCA first-team All-American Kelsey Griffin's school record with 40 career double-doubles.
Hooper produced 14 double-doubles as a senior, while leading the Big Red to the second-most victories and the second-fewest losses (26-7) in school history.

The final play of the Southeastern Conference championship game may have only lasted 15 seconds, but it will likely replay for a lifetime in the heads of many Georgia fans and players.
Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray spoke at length about the Bulldogs' final drive on Wednesday, recounting the team's decision to run a play rather than spike the ball, where the final pass was meant to land and how it is likely to stick with him.
"I can't sleep at night," Murray said. "I literally replay the entire game pretty much every night before I go to bed. It's stressful. It's a game that will probably haunt me the rest of my life, honestly."
Alabama's C.J. Mosley tipped Murray's pass, which was then caught by Georgia's Chris Conley, who slipped near the 5-yard line as the final seconds ticked off the Bulldogs' national championship hopes.
Not all was lost, though. Georgia coach Mark Richt and several players said Wednesday they were excited about facing Nebraska on New Year's Day in the Capital One Bowl in Orlando, Fla., and that they believe they are still a top-tier team that fell just one play and a few yards short of reaching the BCS title game.
"We're on top of the mountain right now when it comes to college football," Murray said. "We earned a lot of respect this season. Obviously we've got to finish strong in the bowl game, but I definitely, definitely think Georgia is back."

Here's Kate Moss' campaign for Dior Addict Extreme
Kate Moss has been the face of Dior cosmetics since last February, so it looks like they're keeping her on: the brand have just released the new adverts for Dior Addict Extreme starring the supermodel.
I don't know whether I'm relieved or disappointed that there isn't a million teasers like there were for her first campaign for Dior Addict. But then that was a commercial.
Anyway, the images for this campaign are a bit harder and more intense, to go with the 'extreme'ness of the lipstick, keeping a softly lit Kate gazing wistfully down the camera lense like in the original images for Dior Addict, but in the background looking like she means business, wearing black and striking a powerful hands-on-hips pose.
What do you think of it? Oh, also: we're loving that lipstick shade, and the fact it matches her nail polish.

Rudd Radar
Rudd Report Highlights Children's Exposure to Food and Beverage Ads on TV
March 18, 2013
Preschoolers see an average of more than 11 food ads per day, despite food companies' promises not to advertise to very young children, and one out of ten of those ads appear on just one show – Spongebob Squarepants, according to a recently released Rudd Report.
The report, "Where children and adolescents view food and beverage ads on TV: Exposure by channel and program," demonstrates that there is no clear differentiation between programming viewed by preschoolers, children, and early adolescents, which makes it difficult to protect children from junk food advertising.
Many of the largest food companies have joined the Children's Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative (CFBAI) and have promised to promote only healthier dietary choices in advertising primarily directed to children under 12. Recognizing that very young children are particularly vulnerable to the influence of advertising, most participating companies also pledged to not engage in any advertising primarily directed to children under 6.
However, data from this report show that children ages 5 and under watch many of the same programs as older children, and 9- to 11-year-olds watch many programs aimed at early adolescents. Because of this loophole in food companies' pledges, most of children's exposure to food advertising is for products that companies say they will not advertise to them.
The report found more disturbing trends on child and adolescent exposure to food and beverage advertising on TV.
- Nick at Nite, Adult Swim, and ABC Family do not show children's cartoons, but one out of six food ads seen by 9- to 11-year-olds air on those three channels.
- Nickelodeon alone aired over one-fourth of the food ads viewed by 2- to 11-year- olds, averaging 3 ads viewed per day by every child in the United States.
- The CFBAI does not consider 12- to 14-year-olds to be "children," but this age group sees more food ads than any other group of young people – more than 15 ads per day on average.
- Viacom channels air more food advertising to youth than any other media company – 42% of all food ads viewed by youth under 18.
These findings show the need for substantial improvement in the food industry's self regulatory policies. Rudd Center researchers suggest that the CFBAI expand their pledges to promote only healthier dietary choices in programming widely viewed by all children, including 12 to 14 year olds. They also assert that the CFBAI expand the definition of children's programming to include programs viewed by large numbers of children not just programs with a high proportion of children in the audience.
Media companies, such as Viacom, also should establish more protective nutrition standards for ads that appear during their children's programming, as Disney and Ion have already done.
The Rudd Center's database of pledges on food marketing to children lists and describes all voluntary pledges from major global food and beverage companies worldwide, such as the CFBAI.
