Watch The LaCie RuggedKey USB Stick Fall 100m and Survive (video)
How far would you go to sell a USB stick? In Lacie's case they're willing to jump out of an airplane at 400m. Their latest USB stick is rated for the most extreme of scenarios, though it can't survive a dip to the bottom of the ocean. Nevertheless, it's tough as nails as proved by this video, which shows a skydiver dropping the USB stick from 117m to the ground. Needless to say it survives, otherwise they probably wouldn't post the video.
In addition to surviving a 100m fall thanks to that familiar orange rubber housing designed by Neil Poulton, the LaCie RuggedKey is IP-54 rated. That means that it withstand extreme cold and heat, dust, as well as a rather generous garden hose. To top this off Lacie has has included "full throttle transfer speeds," otherwise known as USB 3.0, and AES 256-bit data encryption so even if you do lose it during a skydive your data and pictures will be safe from prying eyes.
The Lacie RuggedKey is available now in 16GB and 32GB capacities for $39.99 and $69.99 respectively.

It's almost surprising at this point that there has not been a 'Back to the Future' reboot or sequel. When you look back at the popular and successful properties of the 80s, there are few that haven't been modernized. Sony is practically falling all over themselves to get a new 'Ghostbusters' in theaters. This year alone saw new 'RoboCop,' 'Muppets,' 'Ninja Turtles,' 'Jump Street' and 'Transformers' movies. But, despite the frequency of these remakes, it doesn't look like you'll ever see a new 'Back to the Future' movie. And, that's a pretty great thing.

Did US fumble chance to peer inside China's secretive leadership?
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Information about a Chinese policeman who implicated the wife of a top Chinese official in a British businessman's murder was not circulated widely in Washington as he was considered of marginal intelligence value, current and former U.S. officials said.
In the weeks since Wang Lijun's visit to the U.S. Consulate in Chengdu and his subsequent detention, some critics of the Obama administration have accused it of fumbling what could have been one of the highest-level defectors ever from inside China's clannish leadership class.
Part of that criticism is based on a story line that upon reaching the consulate in Chengdu on February 6, Wang requested political asylum.
The administration's public line has been that Wang did not request asylum and left the consulate of his own accord.
However, some officials suggest that at some point, Wang at least may have hinted at a desire for asylum. And some U.S. officials say consultations were held at a high level in Washington before Wang left the consulate and surrendered to what he believed were friendly central government officials.
U.S. diplomats and intelligence officials said U.S. agencies were initially skeptical of Wang's stories and that one of his most sensational claims, involving an alleged murder, was not circulated in Washington to officials normally briefed on such information.
"We were not told about the murder (allegations) until much later," after stories describing Wang Lijun's visit to the consulate surfaced in the media, one U.S. official told Reuters.
This official and others said agencies in Washington dealing with the Wang case concluded that while intriguing, it was primarily a local sideshow involving individuals, including Wang himself, of questionable character and credibility.
Their bottom-line assessment was that the revelations from Wang, who had served as police chief and deputy mayor of Chongqing, another major provincial metropolis about 300 km (188 miles) from Chengdu, were less than the "treasure trove" media reports have described.
And while Wang's scandalous allegations surfaced just as China's Communist Party was preparing to anoint a new generation of leaders - including one of the principal targets of his claims - Washington concluded that they did not seriously threaten the party's control over the country.
Hence little consideration was given during Wang's 24-hour visit to the consulate to offering him U.S. government protection or secreting him out of the country.
Wang's allegations, directed principally against populist Chongqing party leader Bo Xilai and his wife, Gu Kailai, ruined Bo's hopes of ascending to the party's highest ruling body, a subcommittee of the Politburo.
However, according to U.S. intelligence assessments, while China's Communist Party faces traditional factional tensions, the long-term political fallout of Bo's downfall will be limited and there is little similarity with the upheaval that shook China during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests.
"From the U.S. government's point of view, what is the upside of getting involved in this?" said Brookings Institution scholar Kenneth Lieberthal, a former senior adviser on Asia to former Democratic President Bill Clinton.
U.S. officials said there were other reasons officers at the consulate ultimately arranged for, or persuaded, Wang to leave of his own accord and surrender to what Wang believed were sympathetic Chinese central government officials.
Wang believed that his life might be in jeopardy if he was taken into custody by his enemies from Chongqing, whom he believed to have traveled to Chengdu and surrounded the U.S. Consulate, current and former U.S. officials said.
However, he also believed that representatives of the Beijing central government would protect him because Beijing and Wang shared antagonists in Chongqing, the sources said.
The U.S. officials who spoke to Reuters said consular officials were also wary of Wang as for some time they had been hearing reports about alleged infighting and corruption among officials in Chongqing and Wang's personal reputation was not blemish-free.
They said that while U.S. agencies and diplomatic outposts maintain procedures for arranging asylum, and even clandestine escapes for dissidents in mortal danger, the bar is set extremely high for such extreme measures.
Wang's case did not come close to meeting that standard, officials said, because he was not regarded by U.S. officials as a target for, or a victim of, human rights abuses.
The U.S. officials said that when he arrived unexpectedly at the consulate, Wang told tales of political and financial intrigue involving Bo Xilai and his wife, Gu.
His most sensational disclosure was his claim that Gu had been involved in the alleged murder of Neil Heywood, a British businessman who had helped the couple's son, Bo Guagua, into Britain's elite Harrow boarding school.
Heywood died in a Chongqing hotel room in November; his body was cremated three days later. Gu is in custody and Bo has not been seen in public since March, when he was dismissed as boss of Chongqing. He was stripped of his Politburo seat last week.
The White House has kept a very tight lid on what transpired during Wang's visit to the consulate and it is still unclear how much detailed information he offered about the alleged murder.
William Hague, Britain's foreign secretary, confirmed in a statement to Parliament this week that Wang had divulged the alleged murder. The British government was briefed early on by U.S. officials about Wang's description of the alleged murder, U.S. and European officials said.
Current and former U.S. officials said Wang provided detailed allegations of corruption involving Bo and his wife. But the U.S. government is guarding these details tightly, with access to cable traffic about the matter blocked, even for top officials who would normally get to see such material.
The Republican-led House Foreign Affairs Committee has requested briefings and access to official documents on the case, but officials say the administration has provided Congress with only minimal information.
Some officials who have been briefed on Wang's disclosures said his material had been characterized as dense, arcane and confusing. One official said the material did not fall high on the scale of priorities for U.S. intelligence agencies' collection efforts on China, which appear to relate to the stability of the Communist government.
Several U.S. officials indicated Wang's hint at asylum was never treated with much enthusiasm by the Obama administration.
Michael Pillsbury, a former adviser on China to Republican presidents, said the U.S. administration's handling of the case would send a bad signal to human rights activists.
"I fear President Obama has sent the wrong message, and this decision will have a chilling effect on those who want to fight corruption, have important evidence, or have a well-founded fear of persecution," he said.
But Lieberthal said the Obama administration was correct to treat the whole affair with kid gloves - if not tongs.
"This is a Chinese on Chinese affair," with some British involvement, Lieberthal said.
Lieberthal said officials of the consulate allowed Wang to make calls to people he trusted, presumably in the central government, which resulted in him leaving and "walk(ing) out escorted by someone he trusted."
Lieberthal also said that as a police chief and city official under Bo in Chongqing, Wang was known as "not a lovable character."

How much do Americans earn? Average income data for individuals and households. Stagnant income growth for American families.
How much do Americans earn? This seems to be a relatively easy question to answer yet rarely do we get concrete facts in the media about American income figures. On some financial shows, you get people saying that being middle class is making $250,000 a year which is outrageous because this is twisting words and ignoring basic math. If we look at the true middle, the actual median, the typical U.S. household makes $51,000 per year. That is a far cry from $250,000 or even $100,000. Yet this kind of misinformation is what passes as financial news today. Americans for the most part are largely in the dark as to what other people earn. There is no conspiracy out in the market but there is a concerted effort to keep people in the financial dark because it keeps them from realizing how bad financially they actually have it. It also keeps people spending money they don't have and rarely asking questions about their financial health. Instead of confronting this reality families dive into massive debt to try to keep up the pretense that they are making progress forward. Budgeting and methods for taking care of your hard earned income are largely left off any educational curriculum yet will likely have a massive impact on your lifestyle. How much do Americans earn?
A demographic time bomb: Over the next decade 20 percent of the US population will be 65 years of age or older.
It is no secret that the United States like many developed nations is facing a demographic shift of epic proportions. Within the next decade 20 percent of the US population will be 65 years of age or older. This will place severe constraints on young workers, Social Security, and Medicare. Roughly 300,000 Americans per month hit the age of 65. As we have noted before many are unable to retire because they simply do not have enough money stashed away to enter into retirement. Many continue to work. The vast majority will mostly rely on Social Security benefits. Never in the history of the US have we had such a large number of Americans entering old age at one time. The baby boomer generation like a pig moving through a python is now entering the typical age of retirement. Yet many are in no financial position to retire comfortably. Many delay retirement and continue working. Some argue that this delay in retirement is plugging up some channels for younger workers to enter into the employment market. While this might be true, the unfortunate reality is that many Americans, young and old are simply in poor financial shape thanks to the financialization of our government and banking sector. This is brought on by our new low wage economy and lack of protection or concern for the middle class. We are confronting a demographic time bomb and things are already set into motion.
Is college worth a lifetime of debt? Student debt reaches critical tipping point at $1.2 trillion as annual price increases enter the moment of truth.
The cost of going to college has come into deep questioning. In our inflation addicted market, the answer to every question regarding affordability involves more debt. Can't afford a home? How about taking on a massive mortgage with a small down payment. Can't afford a car? How about a 0 percent 0 down loan. Having trouble financing your college education? How about the albatross of student debt. It is no coincidence that student debt has fully gone off the rails courtesy of the federal government and banks dishing out student loans as if they were candy at Halloween. Is college worth the debt? In some cases it is and it also depends on what career you enter. This distinction is rarely made in the media where the general advice is "go to college and earn more" assuming all disciplines and schools are created equal (they are not). What about the predatory for-profit colleges that have horrific placement rates and high costs? What about going to a high cost private school and majoring in something that has little demand in the market? Yes college, is not a de facto employment training ground but at this price tag you better ask what you are getting for with that heavy debt burden. If we look at the low wage labor force, we have a market producing lower paying jobs and yet we continue to pump out more and more college graduates with heavier debt loads. Few will argue against education being a good thing. Of course education is important. However simply getting a degree does not equal financial success, or even getting a job in your field of study. The majority of this nation is financially in the dark when it comes to managing their finances or even understanding the deep capture the financial sector has on government. For most, these questions never come up until they see the price tag of their college degree. Is college worth the price of debt?
Global debt enters terminal velocity mode: Why central banks have no intention of slowing their public and private debt binge.
Central banks around the world are following one core mission. That mission revolves around expanding debt to goose equity markets and attempting to solve a debt crisis with more debt. Even the more conservative European Central Bank bowed down to easy digital money printing by announcing they too would follow in the footsteps of the Fed and Bank of Japan. Global banking is now fully addicted to non-stop debt. Every dollar of debt is having a smaller impact on what it can do to the real economy. The Fed's balance sheet is now well over $4.3 trillion and while talks of tapering are made in public, there is no visible action being taken to show this is the intended goal. At the core of the global crisis was an expansion built on too much debt. Banks attacked this issue as one of liquidity but in reality this was a crisis of solvency. Banks never dealt with writing down assets but have decided to use modern day inflation methods to boost banking profits at the expense of working class families. Global debt has now reached a terminal velocity mode and central banks have no choice but to continue to expand their balance sheets.
US household debt nearly twice as high as annual wages and salaries: Inflating the consumer debt bubble with student loans and auto debt.
The latest consumer credit report surprised to the upside. What was the surprise? Americans are back to borrowing money they don't have. Are they borrowing for investing or possibly purchasing a modest home? No. The latest data shows that Americans are once again going deep into student debt and auto debt. This is actually worse than borrowing for a home you can't afford. A car will begin losing its value seconds after you drive it off the lot. Yet this is where Americans are pouring their money. So don't be surprised if you see a pizza delivery person driving in a nicer car than you are. Since the 1980s, households have been supplementing the decline in their standard of living by going into deep debt. The last crisis was more of a debt bubble but it was more visible through the housing market crashing and burning. Housing was only the vector where debt was attached to. Starting in the early 1980s, households started borrowing more money than their actual wages and salaries. At a time when pensions were going extinct in favor of the Wall Street casino, Americans simply filled the gap of weaker wages with debt. So it should come as no surprise that today, US household debt is nearly twice as high as annual wages and salaries.
The impending retirement crisis: Pushing the financial constraints of an economy where many will rely on Social Security for the bulk of their income on the backs of a growing young low wage workforce.
There is a looming retirement crisis on the horizon. Most Americans are ill prepared for a long-term retirement. Back in the early 1980s, over 60 percent of American workers had access to some sort of pension plan. Today, that number is less than 10 percent. Planning for the future is challenging because it takes discipline, a steady source of income, some luck, and support from a rising market. That doesn't always happen. That is why today, we have a large problem with older Americans not being able to retire. The latest data shows that most baby boomers will depend on Social Security as their primary source of income. Yet this money needs to come from a healthy and ideally, well paid younger population. That is simply not the case. Many younger Americans are saddled with massive student debt and others are unable to find good paying work. A large portion of profits in this recovery have gone straight to the top to a very small portion of the population. Also, a good portion of gains have come from slashing wages, cutting benefits, and squeezing productivity out of workers. This is how we have a nation where 1 out of 3 Americans have no actual savings. For many, Social Security will be the last barrier between them and being financially destitute. Just like saving for retirement takes decades, the current crisis will unfold over decades. Demographics are not looking kindly on the next decade for retirees.
The disappearing labor force: Over 800K Americans drop out of labor force. Since end of recession, those not in the labor force has grown from 80 million to 92 million. Workers younger than 55 lost jobs in April.
It might have come as a surprise to many that the pumped up stock market had no rally from the big employment report last week. Why? The unemployment rate fell from 6.7 to 6.3 percent. One survey showed a big jump in jobs added. As is usually the case, the devil is in the details. The unemployment rate fell dramatically because more than 800K Americans dropped out of the labor force. That is right, nearly 1 million people dropped out of the labor force. So of course this will make the rate look better than expected. In fact, since the recession ended we have added 12 million Americans to the category of "not in the labor force" which trumps even demographic changes. We have discussed that many Americans have no economic means to even retire. What was also interesting in the report is that workers younger than 55 actually lost jobs in the April report. So it is no surprise that the stock market actually turned lower with the whopping jobs report after people dug into the data.

GREAT TOUR. This was my first private tour and I was a bit intimidated by "China" but I had a wonderful time. My guide spoke very good English, was knowlegeable and considerate - not to mention fun. My main reason for taking the tour was to buy some of the traditional Chinese Ceramics, but I really enjoyed the Ancestral Tempal with Kung Fu demonstration and "Dancing Lions". Very happy I chose this tour.

It's good that Adobe are keeping up with security issues and fixing them but it'd be nice if there weren't so many in the first place!

FINE, I'll do it again. I suppose this is just the Patch Tuesday update, now that Adobe sync with MS on updates? I don't want to update it then they release another one tomorrow...
Feking rechid Flash, I want to sue them for BS incurred from just Flash updates. Seriously half my damn job is chasing their rubbish software from one end of the network to the other. Can we class action them, seriously I usually hate the US legal system way of doing things but this is probably the only way they are actually going to be forced to get their excrement together. Either that or we all chip in and hire a hit squad to kill off their management and developers.
The latter I think!
Worth pointing out that even though the MSI page still lists Flash Player 11.6.602.171 at the top of the downloads table, the downloads themselves are the updated 11.6.602.180.

Lisbon, 21st October 2013 – CloudCatalyst was officially launched in Lisbon, Portugal. The kick off meeting gathered the consortium partners that are motivated to promote the potential of cloud computing throughout Europe.
The project main objectives are to support startups and SMEs moving into the cloud and provide them with innovative tools. Communities in at least 7 EU countries will be supported to produce innovative and sustainable businesses through cloud computing offers that help boost productivity, efficiency and competitiveness of the European economy.
The project is funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme and brings together 7 partners from 4 member states.
CloudCatalyst partners recognize, as it's also defined by the "ENTREPRENEURSHIP 2020 ACTION PLAN"[i], recently presented by the European Commission, that in order to bring Europe back to growth and higher levels of employment, more entrepreneurs are needed. In CloudCatalyst partner's point of view, the 2020 action plan for entrepreneurship is an unique chance to transform all the challenges of Cloud Computing deployment into opportunities – fostering innovation and new business creation within European entrepreneurial ecosystem.
CloudCatalyst project will be led by Portugal Telecom which has solid experience in the promotion and management of European Funded projects. Portugal Telecom has also recently presented a very ambitions Cloud Computing roadmap focused in accelerating the development and deployment of Cloud Computing technologies and internet services.
To promote entrepreneurship and job creation, this project will be aligned with the business and knowledge transfer strategy promoted by UPTEC, the University of Porto Science and Technology Park. UPTEC is the structure of the University of Porto dedicated to incubate start-ups and host Business Innovation Centres, supporting an effective knowledge and technology transfer among academia, companies and markets. In the last 5 years, UPTEC has helped create 115 new start-ups and more than 1200 jobs. UPTEC was further able to attract to Porto city highly innovative companies, creating a flourishing ecosystem of innovators and entrepreneurs.
CloudCatalyst project has also a solid technical background, lead by the UCM, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, founders of the OpenNebula open-source project. OpenNebula, a success story in exploitation of FP7 research results, has played an important role in driving and supporting the transition to cloud computing and thus accelerating the pace of innovation in Europe. With thousands of deployments worldwide, OpenNebula has a very wide user base that includes leading companies in banking, technology, telecom and hosting, and research and supercomputing centers.
As a central hub for the exchange of knowledge, best practices and guidelines in the European Cloud ecosystem, EuroCloud role in this project will be fundamental for implementing an efficient dissemination action plan, but foremost, EuroCloud will be responsible for the exploitation of the results and for guarantee the future sustainability of the develop support services.
Finally, Si.mobil will provide important contributions based on the experience gathered during start:Cloud.si program – a competitive educational programme for entrepreneurs and start-up companies on development and bringing new innovative cloud services to the market. The program ran in 2013 for the second consecutive year, with 48 teams participating in 2 years and astonishing 20 solutions being developed and commercialized. Given a small scale of Slovenian market numbers are very encouraging. In addition Si.mobil has gathered wide experience while developing and implementing cloud services brokerage platform and business model. Their approach has been recognized as preferred within Telecom Austria Group in 2012 and will be implemented within other members of TAG group – with Si.mobil taking the lead in cloud services business for the whole group.

Dear all,
I'm trying to quantitate changes in some microRNAs in Zebrafish using the Ncode kit (Invitrogen, for RT) followed by SYBR-qPCR and I need an internal control. Most papers use U6, but the primer sequence is not mentioned, or worse, the primers seem not to amplify U6 but to other genes. For example, in this work, http://www.sciencedi...041008X12003493 , in table 1, the primer set
actually targets to the gene >NM_201213.1 Danio rerio glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase (qars)
I don't think zebrafish U6 and qars are the same gene, or am I getting something wrong?
Do you know any primers for zebrafish U6 that works in SYBR-qPCR?
Or other choices to serve as an internal control for normalization?
Thank you in advance.
Submit your paper to J Biol Methods today!

Jeffreys Bay, or J-Bay among surfers, is famous for one of the world's top surfing spots – Supertubes. It's hollow, fast, and extremely long. Riding this perfect wave accompanied by dolphins is the dream of every young or silver surfer. On rare big wave days, legendary Boneyards can deliver a one-kilometre ride all the way to the Point.
Cruising along J-Bay's main drag, you could easily believe you've landed on Planet Surf. This beach paradise on the Sunshine Coast delivers perfect waves and seemingly endless summers. During winter, surfers from around the globe migrate to this small town in the Eastern Cape for the epic surfing conditions. It gets really busy over school holidays and when the popular Billabong Pro surfing contest is underway.
Jeffreys Bay is perfect for family holidays and chilled weekend getaways for stressed urbanites. The vibrant town has numerous restaurants, surf shops, a thriving craft industry, small Shark Aquarium, Shell Museum and even an interesting Surf Museum. Hip and happening Pepper Street offers numerous restaurants, pubs, ATMs, liquor stores, grocery stores, surf shops and is a quick walk from Supertubes. And there's more to this town than excellent surfing and body boarding – the kite surfing, windsurfing, sailing, snorkeling, scuba diving and fishing are great too.
Surrounded by estuaries, rivers and nature reserves, Jeffreys Bay offers fantastic birding and wildlife viewing. Look out for large schools of dolphins and seasonal whales. Action junkies can work off excess energy by sand boarding, quad biking, paragliding, bungee jumping or horse riding on the beach. Addo Elephant National Park, the Baviaanskloof and Tsitsikamma in the Garden Route National Park are just a short drive away. If you've got kids, take them to African Dawn Wildlife Sanctuary for close encounters with cheetah and other wild animals and birds.

Pilch Jozef and Sabine - Lovely place to go on holidays or retire.
Sandy toes & salty kisses - Jeffreys Bay is one of the most popular coastal holiday destinations in South Africa and by far one of the most beautiful coastal towns. It is also one of the best and most attractive tourism attractions in the area. Jeffreys Bay is also central to a lot of other attractions in the Eastern Cape.
Jeffreys Bay - The beachfront requires a big facelift.
Marina Martinique - This is a very well looked after resort. It is kept so clean and the gardens are cared for regularly. The staff are so pleasant and very accommodating. It is near Jbay and a holiday paradise. Cant wait to go back.
The best beach... - but we were very disappointed by the unwelcoming attitude in Jeffrey's Bay on the whole. There were "no nukes welcome" signs everywhere. No nukes=no new comers.
I wouldn't go back there.

Product Information
- The Amazing Spider-Man Mega Battle Racer from Hasbro
- Part of the The Amazing Spider-Man brand
- We recommend this product for ages 4 and up
What It Is
The Amazing Spider-Man Mega Battle Racer is five vehicles in one: jet pack, submarine, attack jet, battle pod, and mega battle racer. When all five pieces are attached, they form the mega battle racer, which is styled after the upcoming movie The Amazing Spider-Man. The two sides of the mega battle racer detach, one side becoming the submarine and the other side becoming the battle pod. The tail piece detaches to become a jet pack that can be attached to the back of the Spider-Man figure. As an attack jet and mega battle racer, kids can fire a battering ram with the push of a button. A four-inch Spider-Man action figure is included.
Is It Fun?
With five different vehicles, kids can take Spider-Man on all kinds of imaginary missions. This has lots of interactive and creative play built in. Kids will be just as intrigued by the different configurations they can create as they are by all the imaginative fun they can have.
Who It's For
The Amazing Spider-Man Mega Battle Racer is for Spider-Man fans ages 4 and up. It will likely appeal to the younger Spider-Man fans.
What To Be Aware Of
When assembling the pieces into the mega battle racer, make sure you put the tail piece on first to make assembly easier. For younger kids, it's a little hard popping the pieces together and taking them apart, so kids may need help from mom and dad. But this toy is built really tough, so kids can pull the pieces apart and snap them together without damaging the toy.

Alex's Success Story
As with many learners with FASD, Alex found the routines of school to be challenging. Learn about how Alex's 1st Grade experience was turned around through a concerted effort between his parents, teachers and community supports.
What Is FASD?
To improve the educational success of learners with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum (FASD), we have to understand FASD. This eLearning module shares current research and explains the common language of FASD in order to help you develop a better understanding of how this condition may affect learning.
Alcohol Effects on the Developing Brain
Explains the effects of prenatal exposure to alcohol (a teratogen) on the developing fetus. Enhances understanding of students with FASD; this condition is life-long and brain-based so we must make appropriate, individual accommodations.
POPFASD In Action!
Welcome to POPFASD, the Provincial Outreach Program for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder

Mary W LITTLE, wife of Farrington LITTLE, is noted in a Union Co NC cemetery listing with
birthdate of 6 Jan 1821 and deathdate of 6 Dec 1870. The death certificate for her son lists
mother's maiden name as Mary W MULLIS - the information was provided by another of Mary's children.
Does anyone have a Mary W MULLIS b1821 in their line that would match the above?

text: Haas set to meet next deadline for 2015 F1 entry 5 February, 2014 Gene Haas Despite Bernie Ecclestone's recent doubts, NASCAR team co-owner Gene Haas is pushing ahead with his plans to enter Formula 1 in 2015, with an all American race team. After Haas responded to the FIA's invitation to fill the vacant team slot, Ecclestone said publicly he doubts the Californian is prepared to spend what it takes to compete in Formula 1. "[Ecclestone] doesn't think that we will get the license," Haas responded, "so my chances probably aren't that great of a shot." Nevertheless, Autosprint reports that Haas is pushing ahead. Correspondent Alberto Antonini said that Haas is preparing to meet the FIA's next application deadline of February 10, including demonstrating its ability and willingness to compete with an adequate budget. Autosprint also said that Haas, whose project involves the ex Formula 1 personality Gunther Steiner, is pushing ahead with plans to field a Dallara chassis in 2015, mated to a Ferrari Power Unit. "We look forward to future developments," Antonini added. (GMM) Subbed by AJN.

Adam Manning I highly suspect the 'extra' team will be linked to Honda – a 'la Super Aguri and the team will be used as a test mule for the 2015 engines. Maybe it will be linked to ART who McLaren and Honda now have links to. Do Dallara still own the rights to the 2010 HRT chassis? That would be a good place to start building a test mule from and ART have only ever fielded Dallara built cars?

Born and raised in Southern Connecticut, I was surrounded by quaint New England charm ... the White Christmases, the colorful palette of Autumn colors, the Atlantic's blue waters ... all at my doorstep. Also at my doorstep and less than an hour's drive away, was my beloved New York City. NYC has always fascinated me with its diverse culture and mixture of old and new America. I so looked forward to the weekends when I could hop the train and spend my day exploring all this glorious city had to offer. Through the years I've done a good deal of traveling. I've driven cross-country twice and lived in the Pacific Northwest as well as Florida before settling down in New Hampshire. I again found myself living in the heart of New England...

Plenty of animals build their homes in oak trees. But some very teeny, tricky wasps make the tree do all the work. "What nerve!" you might say. What… gall! And you'd be right. They're called gall-inducers. And each miniature mansion the trees build for the wasps' larvae is weirder and more flamboyant than the next.

KVSC on the Big Stage
Over the weekend KVSC did something they had never done before, broadcast every game of the WCHA Final Five Tournament from the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. KVSC entered the Al Shaver Press Box with WCHA.com and Fox Sports North in providing coverage of the event. KVSC covered the St Cloud State men's hockey game Friday afternoon live on 88.1 FM and all the other games on the KVSC Sports Stream. "I felt it was important to be a part of it" KVSC Co-Sports Director Scott Gross stated, "We had the credentials and the man power to do something no one else did before us. It gave our student announcers a chance to cut their teeth if they wanted to, to cover a historic event in the final year as we know it." The current WCHA will disband into three conferences next year.
Wisconsin won the tournament and the Broadmoor Trophy for the first time since 1998 by defeating Colorado College 3-2 on Saturday night. Wisconsin and the University of Minnesota will leave the WCHA after this season to join the new Big 10 conference. St Cloud State along with Colorado College, Denver, North Dakota, Duluth and Nebraska-Omaha will leave for the NCHC.
"We got to do a lot of things no one ever though we could, or dared." Gross said, "We have so many possibilities with the sports stream and we used it to our advantage. We interviewed coaches from other colleges and attended press conferences just like the big boys. I want to personally thank Jim Gray and Jo McMullen for the green light to cover this along with our dedicated staff including Co-Sports Director Gina Carlson, Bryan Kangas, Casey Mosich and Declan Goff. We've got some sports crazies down here in the basement of Stewart Hall and with people like that, there is no telling what our future holds."

I bought this bag (different print) at the end of July to use for school and really liked how padded the back of it was. After using for about six weeks, the plastic buckle where you adjust the straps broke. I contacted Roxy about the bag and they were unable to help me. Please save your money and purchase a different bag.
