Almost a year ago to the day-just a week or so after launching Pharma Marketing Blog -- I warned that DTC advertising must change if it is to survive. And change it has... knock on wood!
Back in January and earlier, I complained that DTC ads were not educational despite claims to the contrary by the industry. I cited erectile dysfunction (ED) drug ads as examples. Here's what I said: "Nowhere in any ED ad have I seen any information about what ED is, what the symptoms might be, and who is likely to suffer from it."
Now there are unbranded ads on TV that actually talk about the medical conditions that may cause ED-diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Imagine that!
A year ago I complained that pharma marketers were underutilizing information-rich channels such as the Internet. "Not enough effort or money," I said back then, "is spent to foster the synergy between DTC broadcast ads and the Internet. DTC ads focus on what may be a giant step for many people-go see your doctor. They don't emphasize enough an intermediate step-i.e., go to a website to learn more about the condition, the treatment options and find motivational tools."
Now we have www.mensfacts.com and other unbranded disease information sites that consumers are directed to via DTC ads. If you believe Yahoo!'s Jack Barrette, 2006 will be a big year for DTC on the Internet (see "Pharma Trends to Watch in 2006").
Back in June, 2005, I complained about print DTC ads that were creative with regard to presenting benefits but written in legalese mouse text when presenting the vital facts. I suggested that drug companies prevent their lawyers from writing the patient package insert stuff.
Now we have Lipitor print ads with large type both front AND back! In fact, Pfizer's new patient-friendly labeling information is almost as easy to read and understand as the ad copy! Who could have imagined this?
Back in March, 2005, I suggested that more DTC ads should use doctors and doctor-patient communication scenarios to convey the marketing message. "Drugs are serious products and require a doctor to close the sale," I said. "It makes perfect sense, therefore, to include doctors within the DTC ads to communicate risks."
Now we have plenty of DTC ads with doctors and actors playing doctors. This might be one of those wishes that should have been better thought through. There are doctors everywhere now! I've seen them in TV and print ads for Lipitor, Evista, Zetia, and Viagra to name just a few.
It's almost as if pharmaceutical marketers are listening... to me! I know it's just not me, but I think they are listening. How refreshing.
Merck asks "If you ran a pharmaceutical company, what would you change?" I might first kill all the marketers. I mean this only in the most benign (sic) Shakespearean sense of preparing the way for a new order, a new kind of marketing. I'd get rid of all the "kids" with their packaged goods promotional ideas and get back to the basics. I'd also ease up on the doctor-in-DTC thing!

A Learning Journey
Educational Technology Alumni Join Forces to Create a New Educational Alliance Dedicated to Authentic Learning
As a first-time attendee at the National Educational Computing Conference, walking through the convention center in Atlanta, Georgia, can be an overwhelming experience. Finding your way among 13,000 other attendees, being approached by countless company representatives at more than 1,200 exhibitor booths can leave even the most veteran educator flustered and exhausted. Which technology products are right for your classroom? What workshops are worth your time? How do you distinguish which hardware, software, and services support your method of teaching?
A new alliance has been formed to bring order to the cluttered educational technology marketplace. The Constructivist Consortium began in January 2007 and is led by Dr. Gary Stager, adjunct faculty in the Master's of Educational Technology, Online (OMET) program at the Graduate School of Education and Psychology. Stager is a pioneer in the field of educational technology. He has helped countless teachers create learning environments designed to incorporate the benefits of computers. Stager brought together six leading educational technology publishers and created an association to aid educators in their quest to empower students.
At the helm of two of the technology publishing companies are alumni of the OMET program, Sylvia Martinez (M '99), president of Generation YES (Youth and Educators Succeeding) and Paul Reynolds (M '06), president of FableVision. Both have an extensive and pioneering history in the educational technology sector.
For more than a decade Martinez has worked to design and publish educational software at Knowledge Adventure, Davidson & Associates, and other technology companies. At Generation YES she works with schools to involve students in improving education through technology. Reynolds started his first multimillion-dollar "e-learning" media firm, Cosmic Blender, in 1986 and went on to create FableVision in 1996 with his identical twin brother, Peter. FableVision, located at the Boston Children's Museum, creates and distributes award-winning media and technology products for the classroom that focus on self-expression, as well as creative and cognitive strategies for visual and/or challenged learners. FableVision also works with other major educational partners such as the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, The Jim Henson Company, and the National Academy of Sciences.
With a history of success in the educational technology world Martinez and Reynolds both enrolled in the OMET program to reinvigorate their approach to authentic learning. As an alumna of the first cohort of the OMET program, Martinez's interaction with Stager was a memorable experience. "Gary is great at challenging what you believe, validating what you already know, and ushering you to a moment of discovery where you connect your passion and your knowledge to improve yourself and the world," she describes.
Reynolds, who enrolled in the OMET program seven years after Martinez, experienced just as much discovery. "My time in the OMET program was completely transformational. With my cohort, we didn't just learn about distributed learning communities—we were a distributed learning community. We didn't just study concepts of virtual communities of learning and practices—we became one, and a highly functional and energized one at that," says Reynolds. "This is what learning should be like at all grade levels, and in every community. Through Pepperdine, I was lucky enough to experience what effective online learning is all about."
Throughout their tenure as OMET students Martinez and Reynolds used online technology tools to control when and where they learned and how the learning was applied. They focused on their own personal practice and workplace setting, and how they could make a positive change in that environment. This way of learning is exactly what the Constructivist Consortium was created to promote.
Each of the companies involved in the Constructivist Consortium supports the idea that students learn best by building on the knowledge they already have, using tools that support independent, creative expression. A teacher's role is to guide the student in the learning journey. This is known as constructivist learning theory, hence the name of their marketing alliance.
So why would these seemingly competing brands join forces? The consortium understands that small companies can reach a larger audience and be more cost effective by joining together to advance a common message. When approached, all six companies signed on without hesitation. Each saw the value of working together, pooling resources, and sharing customers.
The Constructivist Consortium's mission is to ensure that constructivist thinking tools, strategies, and platforms are supported and made more available to every student worldwide. Along with giving voice to creative educators, the Constructivist Consortium also stands as an advocate for improving educational policy and effective use of technology in K-12 schools.
The Constructivist Consortium's first offering to the education world was the Constructivist Celebration, an all-day workshop held prior to the National Educational Computing Conference on June 24, 2007.
The inaugural event sold out within a week of being announced, and attracted a diverse range of educators, including preschool through 12th grade teachers, technology coordinators, and teacher educators.
The event included hands-on activities using claymation, video game design, digital photography, problem solving, and animation, as well as a panel discussion on sustaining constructivist learning led by the founding members of the consortium. Participants in the day's events commented that they felt nourished by the opportunity to be creative and learn without being taught. It reminded them what education should really be about.
The idea of empowering learners, which is lived out through the OMET program, has been taken to the boardrooms of two successful companies and is now the core mission of the Constructivist Consortium. Martinez, Reynolds, and Stager are reaching far beyond the 13,000 visitors of the Na-tional Educational Computing Conference.
"The Constructivist Consortium wants to change the way the world looks at learning in the classroom—moving away from assembly-line learning and turning to authentic learning," comments Stager. "We are off to an incredibly exciting start, and we've only just begun."

North Park Jack in the Box court case surprise
"I am not going to subject my clients to abusive depositions by Mr. Briggs."
Dorian Hargrove 1:15 p.m., Sept. 25
I know that I harp on the depressing similarity of today's movie beasties too often. So I thought I'd propose something that highlights their differences: Beast Wars, the movie. Basically, we take the critters from their various brief film appearances and pit 'em against each other, tournament-style. There is highly lucrative precedent. Alien vs. Predator did $170 million on a $60 million budget, and Freddy vs. Jason managed nearly $115 million on a $30 million budget. Here are a few of upcoming baddies we can start with: the two-headed thing from Wrath of the Titans and the big tooth thingies from John Carter:
Should be rip-snortin' fun! Over in the water bracket, how about the Kraken from Clash of the Titans vs. the Kraken from Pirates of the Caribbean?
Toothsome! Oh, oh, and how about that spindly thingy from Star Trek against that spindly thingy from Cloverfield?
Which reminds me: how wonderful would it have been if the Cloverfield fake had been the real beast? We saved the whales. But now, who will save us?

Addiction and Substance Abuse
I need help please
hi this is for the second time that i am posting my question i havnot found out the answer of previous question. plz sir answer it.my friend is having depression and she have been on medicines since 5 years.that is not a biploar disorder but clinical depression.instead of continuously using antidepressants (like citalopram and escitalopram ) she agian and again have the attack of depression.then doctor either increase the dose of medicine or change the salt .then afterwards she used to feel okie.but only for few months.in this way she has passed the five years. now she has decided that she will stop (by reduccing the dose or tamper off slowly )taking the medicine no matter what. as she is so desperate .she used to say that she don`t want to take the medicine anymore. i want to ask that is she has developed the addiction to antidepressants.?is she has to take the antidepressants through out the life.?all depression patients used to take antidepressants through out their life.? is her decision is right as she also gain weight (while using escitolopram)? give any advice to her thankx
These are very good questions, and really can only be answered by her psychiatry doctor. I can provide some information though:
1) Anti-depressants are not addictive.
2) Anti-depressants CAN cause problems when discontinued, so they should be tapered slowly under the supervision of a doctor.
3) Patients with recurrent major depression often need to stay on anti-depressants for several years (and maybe for life), or risk increased exacerbations of the depression.
Good luck to your friend with this situation, and be sure to consult closely with the psychiatry doctor.

It's Christmas Time In Newark, Ohio.
The 2011 Lighting Of the Courthouse event is over. Santa Claus arrived as scheduled for his annual visit to light the Licking County, Ohio Courthouse. As usual, there were a few technical glitches to work out, but with the help of the crowd cheering on, they got it lit and it will remain so for the rest of the Christmas season.
It's become an annual tradition for Newark, Ohio to usher in the Christmas season with the lighting of the courthouse. Donations are made all year long and events like the Lite The Nite car show are held to pay for the lighting. The community makes quite an effort to ensure that this happens every year. The end result is a stunningly beautiful display and a fun memory made for everyone.
Carolers sang while the crowd anxiously waited for Santa's arrival. Santa made contact by radio and the fire truck had to pick him up after some difficulties with the sleigh. The fireman were happy to pick him up with the fire truck. I even seen Homeland Security there to ensure his safety. A police escort was also there to assist.
If you're town doesn't have a Christmas tradition like Newark, Ohio, you're missing out. It's a great time kids and adults alike. Unlike big events, it's just a few hours out of the season that's for everyone, but especially the kids. What other time of year do kids get to see a large gathering of adults that are for the most part, just having fun?
Here are some videos. Not the greatest quality, but good enough to get an idea of what the Christmas gathering in Newark, Ohio is all about.
Santa Arrives On The Fire Truck
The Crowd Must Cheer To Overcome The Technical Difficulties With The Lights. Happens Every Year.
Newark, Ohio 2011 Lighting Of The Courthouse
|November 25, 2011
|6:00 pm
|9:00 pm
Every year Newark, Ohio welcomes the Christmas season with a lighting of the Licking County Courthouse. This year, Santa is scheduled to stop in and light the courthouse on November 25, 2011 at 6 PM.
The event is an exciting one and for some reason, there are always some glitches. It seems that the lights require so much power that it takes a huge amount of electricity from the excitement of the crowd to get it lit. The louder they cheer, the more lights that come on. It's a great way to join with the community as they kick off the festivities for the rest of the Christmas season. Work is already being done to prepare for the lighting of the Newark, Ohio Courthouse.
Here is a video of a Licking County Courthouse lighting from 2006.

1st Sign Of The Christmas Season In Newark, Ohio.
Every year Newark, Ohio lights the beautiful Licking County Courthouse for Christmas. The combination of the old downtown with the Midland Theater, the downtown shops and restaurants, and courthouse as the centerpiece all lit up, makes for a festive atmosphere for the Christmas season. Santa makes a stop at the courthouse to plugin in the gigantic power cord that lights the courthouse up to kick off the season. It's a fun time for young and old.
It may be way to early for most of us to start preparing, but for the workers at the courthouse, it's time to get started. I caught a few workers on the roof making the first preparations.
The end result will look something like this –

Chill Out
Oh, to remember a night that happened nine months ago is tough. The explicit details, the likes and dislikes. The Night + Day section loves previewing events for you, and every so often when weve attended the event previously, we can give you more of a review. Last February, Chillounge transformed the Great Lawns grounds into a chill lounge. Indeed, the lounge part was the hundreds of squishy daybeds scattered throughout the park. Yes, after paying 20 bucks at the door, you got a free bed for five hours (price went up five bucks this year). The chill part of the Chillounge experience was not anything like a nightclub, though. Because how chill is fierce, unexpected drumming during the Samba Parade, but then again, you got to see some skin during the parade. Samba dancers were wearing red, beaded bikini outfits. At one point, 20 women over age 50 danced on stage to a live band covering Brick House, and a young businesswoman said she felt she was at a wedding. Again, this year, there will be a Shy Figaro runway fashion show, and theyve added a daybed parade this time (at least, we dont remember seeing those daybeds marching around last time). Music will be provided by Alex Romano, complemented with her music fusion band as well as another musical guest, Terry Cooper with his band.
Presale tickets cost $20, $25 at the door. VIP tickets cost $100 and come with complimentary food and drink. The daybeads open up at 6 p.m., and the night will benefit the Nat King Cole Generation Hope Inc. Find Old School Square at 51 N. Swinton Ave., in Delray Beach. Call 888-695-0888, or visit chilloungenight.com.

About "Christmas Island" by WanderingBert
Christmas Island
Design by WanderingBert
This is a bit of a collab with my Dad. I'm not normally one for the fancy inks, but this could be quite cool with shiny foil for the red houses or a raised blister ink for the yellow path.
For those of you who didn't know, there really is a place called Christmas Island. It's located in the Indian Ocean, 2600 kilometres (1600 mi) northwest of Perth in Western Australia.
You probably don't need a larger image, but i'll post a link to one anyway
Uses the max 8 colours plus the shirt colour.
awww ♥
Love this! $5
This truly is amazing the color of the shirt works perfectly with the design and other attributes.
great job Bertus Maximus $5!
thanks for using me..
oh to live in an ornament house!!! Awesome job! $5
SO cute.
Going to have great xmas this year!!! + this shirt of course! 5
That is super smashing great! 5$
i think we have a print here
great christmas shirt
super original
This Jewish boy would be a proud wearer of this tee just because its too too awesome illusion is just too too hard to pass up! Plus, I like presents underneath decorative trees just like any other human being. It's like a MAD magazine trick picture but with class...5$
nice work, man!i love this!
great work! fun idea!
haha, great!
well done
i like the colour~
very cool seasonal shirt - are you using this design for your xmas card as well this year?
great idea
PRINT it for christmas!!
That model is HAWT
Awesome idea and design!
nice work!
wish it was already in print...I'd wear it to our office Christmas Party. We're having a Cheesy Christmas Attire contest. This would be so unusual as to win for sure. Great design. And so much fun!
really neat. ur a clever so and so
oh wow that's super cute! I love it! :D
Awesome :)
I am only commenting on this blog to win have a chance at winning STPs. But what the heck, might as well say something nice while I'm at it. I like this one as the better of the two.
i love this.
Merry Christimas!!! I gift you a $5. And hope for a print!!
i normally don't wear Christmas shirts, but this one would be a perfect gift :)
Christmas print coming up
Cool idea, but I think there should be more ornaments/buildings covering the tree. Or there should be less open space, with ornaments more spread out.
Damn. Why do you voters hate me so.
Um....seriously. I'm not even gonna look at the score on this one because it pisses me off to much.

Have HVAC Questions? Ask an HVAC Expert for Answers
Hello my name is XXXXX XXXXX going to help you out today.
First what wires/colors do you have coming out of the wall?
Do you have a Y2 terminal on thermostat?
Yellow (Y)
Y (Yellow), O(orange), Jumper W1/E (Brown), B (Black), Green (G), R(Red), W2(White), C(Bleu)
Did you look at page 20 of the the honeywell manual? You need to do the alternate wiring.
I can walk you through the install but want to make sure you have the correct wires in place currently
I connected everything per page 20 but I am confuse on where to connect O, B and C. I have connected C wire to C terminal and B to O/B , but the compressor didn`t kick off
Page 21 is confusing
I Can connect Wires O, B and C to the correct terminal, it will work
But will not shut off?
do you have the jumper installed?
No, I did not instaled the jumper because per page 17, it is not required. f you can walk me trough, I will appreciate
did you check this out? http://wifithermostat.com/Products/WiFi7DayTouchscreenThermostat/?s=6
page 17 is for 6 wire heat pump we need to do alternate wiring
so don't pay attn to that page
I wanted you to look at that link to make sure this thermostat will work for your application.
ok. give me a minute
It is compatible
you have a blue wire correct?
Yes, Correct
it was labelled C on the old thermostat
was the old t-stat betterty operated?
was there any wire on the aux of the old t-stat?
I don`t see any battery on old t-start
I don`t see any AUX on the old T-stat
ok do you know if your unit is a multi-stage?
due to you having 8 wires I would think you do. here's how i want you to connect
I have a W2 terminal on old T-statwire. I believe we can assume this unit is multi-stage. is that correct ?
yellow to Y, red to R, orange to O/B, Blue to Y2, White to W2(aux), Green to G, Black to C
now when you said you had a brown wire Jumper W1/E is that off the old t-stat?
One thing I forgot to mentione is that I have two t-stat. One downstair and one upstair. I am currently replacing the upstair t-stat. the downstair t-stat is a mercury t-stat without C terminal
and these are both controlling one unit?
i'm thinking the brown is the emergency heat relay
yes there is only one unit outside
well that changes things depending on how they have these connected to the unit.
there is no brown coming from the wall. the brown was a jumper on connecting E & W1 Terminal terminal on old t-stat
Ok. Let me connect the cable and we run a test
k sorry i thought you had a brown wire that's what had me confused
They are connected. The Black is not connected. is that correct
what do you have connected to C
there is no cable connected to C terminal. That why I am confuse
connect the black
OK. Thanks
let me check the connection again to insure they are connected propertly
here is what I have Yellow to Y, Orange to O/B, Black to C, Green to G, Red to RC ( there is a jumper from RC to R), White to W2, Bleu to Y2
what does it do when you power it up?
I did power up yet. I will o it now. may take 5 minutes
can you look at the system setup (page 54 -58) when I power the t-stat.
54 number 7
55 0190
I powered on, but no power to the t-stat
and the system is not working
ok take black wire off C and put blue wire on.
ok. let me go downstair and turn of the breakers
I'm not sure how they integrated the t-stat downstairs. If this doesn't do it I will have to opt out and see if another expert can sort out the issue. I don't see anywhere on honeywell where this can be used w/ multiple t-stats.
Bleu wire in on C terminal. Black wire is not connected
let me power on again
t-start is on
so bleu most go to Bleu. Let run a test
function code 190 to 0 is that ok ?
or 170 to 7?
should be 0190 according to honeywell
yes. i think so
system is on
the outside unit is rotating clockwise.
so it pulling air in?
let me ckeck again. I was under the impression it was pulling air out
well it should be pushing air out in a/c mode
I looks like we are fine.
The downstair thermostat doesn`t see to control anything. Doesn`t make sense if the new t-stat is now controlling the whole system. I turned off the downstair unit but the system is still working
that's good. The black is just an extra common it seems so cap that off.
Ok. I see
I appreciate your time. I will now set up the wifi. But I can do it myself from now. I appreciate your help today. the cost will be $38 is that correct ?
It took us awhile but glad to see your up and running.
Yes if you hit the accept answer and give me a positive rating that would be great.
Definitely will do it.
Thanks for using JA
Please remember I only get paid if you accept my answer. If I have provided you with the answers you needed to solve your problem positive feedback would be great. Thanks

Transfers of Wednesday, 10 October 2012
Source: Kwaku Ahenkorah/Kessben Sports
Chelsea will go neck-to-neck in a tussle with Napoli for Abdul Majid Waris according to Swedish tabloid Expressen, after the English club became one of a massive ten clubs to have sent scouts to watch the 21-year old Ghanaian.
The scouts are expected to send raving reports about the striker who chose the right time to notch his 22nd goal of the season with a hat trick in a match BK Hacken won by 5 goals to 1 against Syrianska over the weekend.
Chelsea are in the market for a striker as they seek to boost their attacking line which is left with only Fernando Torres as the only natural striker left and with four weeks left to end the Swedish Allsvenskan.
Waris looks like ending the season as the top scorer with three players tied at a distant thirteen goals – a credential which will boost his chances of a big money move to the champions league winners.
Meanwhile clubs like Napoli, Everton, PSV Eindhoven and Porto whose scouts were also in attendance that fateful day are all set to jostle each other for the Tamale-born striker.
The highly rated goal-machine holds the enviable record of being the first man to score five times in a match in the Swedish league in the 21st century and has already been capped by Ghana.

During the "2013SBS Entertainment Awards" held yesterday, Gary showed his endless love for Song Ji Hyo by yelling, "I want you, Song Ji Hyo!" Song Ji Hyo then replied with a simple "Thank you."
Gary also gave personal bouquet of flowers to Song Ji Hyo when she received an award. As her thank-you message, Song Ji Hyo said, "I'll take this award as you telling me to be on good terms with Gary. Thank you," arousing laughter.
However, Song Ji Hyo's relationship with her agency CEO had been publicized last year, making 'Monday couple' a bit awkward. Their relationship hasn't been talked about since then so no one knows of 'Monday couple' is actually possible in real life. Many are curious as to if they will really be caught by paparazzis next year, being involved in a real scandal.
Internet users who saw this commented, "They were like a real couple yesterday," "What if they really go out?," etc.

Operator: Good morning. My name is Melissa, and I will be your conference facilitator. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the BorgWarner 2013 First Quarter Results Conference Call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speakers' remarks, there will be a question-and-answer period. [Operator Instructions]
I would now like to turn the call over to Ken Lamb, Director-Investor Relations. Mr. Lamb, you may begin your conference.
Kenneth P. Lamb, Director-Investor Relations
Thanks, Melissa. Good morning and thank you all for joining us. We issued our earnings release this morning at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. It's posted on our website, borgwarner.com, on our home page.
A replay of today's conference call will be available through May 8. The dial-in number for that replay is 855-859-2056. You'll need the conference ID, which is 18708099. The replay will also be available on our website.
With regard to our Investor Relations calendar, we will be attending two conferences between now and our next earnings release. May 7, we'll be at the Wells Fargo Industrial and Construction Conference in New York. May 14, we will be at the Barclays America's Select Franchise Conference in London. May 28, we'll be at the KeyBanc Automotive, Industrial and Transportation Conference in Boston. And June 4, we'll be at the Deutsche Bank Industrial Conference in Chicago.
Before we begin, I need to inform you that during this call, we may make forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties as detailed in our 10-K. Our actual results may differ significantly from the matters discussed today.
Now, moving onto our results, James Verrier, President and CEO, will comment on first quarter results as well as some of our accomplishments during the quarter. And then, Ron Hundzinski, our CFO, will discuss the details of our operating results and also, our updated outlook for 2014.
With that, I'll turn it over to James.
James R. Verrier, President and Chief Executive Officer
Thank you, Ken, and good day, everybody. Ron and I are very pleased today to review our first quarter results as well as our recent accomplishments.
First of all, I'd like to take a moment to congratulate and thank all of the BorgWarner employees for an excellent first quarter and your efforts just continue to drive outstanding results for the company.
So now on to our results; reported sales in the quarter were $2.1 billion, which is up 9% from a year ago when we exclude the impact of foreign currencies and the Wahler acquisition. U.S. GAAP earnings are $0.69 per share, or $0.83 per share excluding the restructuring charges.
Our operating income again excluding non-comparable items was an impressive 13.1% in the quarter. We see two key factors that drove our strong results; solid sales growth in both Engine and the Drivetrain segments and operational efficiency and cost controls that enabled strong incremental margins. Really outstanding performance by our operations.
Let me go through the two segments. First of all, the Engine segment. First quarter sales were just over $1.4 billion, which is up about 8% from a year ago after excluding the impact of foreign currencies and Wahler. These results were led by strong turbocharger sales in Europe and China, new engine timing and BCT launches in China and higher EGR cooler and valve sales around the world.
Into the Drivetrain segment, our sales were approximately $680 million, and that's up 12% from a year ago when we exclude foreign currencies. The Drivetrain results were driven by strong all-wheel drive sales in North America. We saw higher dual clutch transmission module volumes in Europe and higher transmission component sales in Korea.
Now while the Drivetrain business continues to grow, our restructuring plan is paving the way for a more profitable business in the future. We're minimizing Drivetrain's high cost footprint and simultaneously investing in Poland, Hungary, Mexico and China. And we see these actions will enhance Drivetrain's competitive position, which we expect to translate into winning more business in the future.
Now these segment reviews highlight a couple of the core strengths of the company. Now, the first one is our entire product portfolio is in high demand and contributed to our global growth. And we are seeing the improvements in Drivetrain as expected and continued strong performance in the Engine group.
Now as we look to the future, we see BorgWarner continues to invest for the long term. Capital spending continues to grow. We spent about 6.1% of sales on capital in the first quarter, which is pretty much in line with our expectations, and we remain committed to supporting our future growth and productivity improvements. Our spending for R&D was about 4% of sales in the quarter, again in line with our targeted spend of greater than 4% of sales this year. I see the intensity around organic innovation and product development remains very strong inside the company.
I'd like to take a moment or two to review some exciting announcements that we did make during the quarter. As I mentioned before, we completed the Wahler acquisition in the first quarter. And from a strategic perspective, Wahler's EGR valve technology, we see very well positioned to exploit the rapid adoption of EGR in gasoline engines. And this combined with its thermostat technology makes it a very strong addition to our portfolio. Ron will discuss the financial details of the Wahler transaction in just a few minutes.
The company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share of common stock. The dividend is payable on May 16th to shareholders of record on May 2nd. BorgWarner also received an Automotive News PACE Innovation Partnership Award for its collaboration with General Motors on the Eco-Launch solenoid valve. We have several patents pending for this innovation and GM has already committed to using the technology on an upcoming vehicle. BorgWarner's innovation also received a 2014 Automotive News PACE Award. Last, but not least, BorgWarner was formally named the North American supplier of all-wheel drive transfer cases for the Toyota Tundra pickup truck.
Now, I'm going to provide an overview of our guidance for 2014, which has been updated a little since our last earnings call. We see sales growth in 2014 expected to be between 12% and 15%. This is up from the 7% to 11% previously, primarily due to the impact of the Wahler acquisition. Our operating margin remains at 12.5% or better and our earnings guidance has been raised to $3.15 to $3.30 per diluted share, which is up from the $3.10 to $3.25 per diluted share previously. Again, both ranges exclude non-comparable items.

Rioting broke out in Rio de Janeiro today – just seven weeks before Brazil hosts the World Cup.
Furious protests erupted in the Pavao-Pavaozinho slum after police were accused of murdering a popular local dancer.
One man, 27, was shot dead when armed officers clashed with locals, who torched cars and hurled missiles.
As the violence escalated, officers were forced to close streets in the nearby beach resort of Copacabana, which many England fans will use as their base for the tournament.
Roy Hodgson's squad will train at Urca – a mile-and-a-half away
Tempers flared after the body of TV dancer Douglas Rafael da Silva Pereira, 26, was found badly beaten and covered with boot prints in the slum.
The impoverished neighbourhood was considered "pacified" after a police campaign to drive out heavily armed drug gangs but officers have repeatedly been accused of using heavy-handed tactics.
Douglas's pal Johanas Mesquita, 23, said: "The police beat my friend to death, just like they've tortured and killed in other communities.
"This effort to pacify the favelas is a failure, the police violence is only replacing what the drug gangs carried out before."
Authorities claimed Douglas's injuries were consistent with a fall. But after he was found, angry young men began lighting fires and throwing home-made explosives, bottles and other missiles on to Copacabana's main streets.
At least three prolonged exchanges of gunfire were heard after police moved in.
It was the latest violence to hit one of Rio's pacified slums. In 2008, police launched an ambitious security programme to drive gangs from the favelas and establish a foothold for the first time.
The project is part of Rio's overall security push ahead of the World Cup – starting on June 12 – and the Olympics, which the city will host in two years' time.
So far, 37 police pacification units have been created, to cover an area with a population of 1.5 million.
But their introduction has been controversial with claims of brutal methods resulting in the deaths of innocent people.
Drug gangs have recently attacked police posts in what authorities claim is an effort to win back drug-selling territory.
In January, there were violent clashes in Sao Paulo as 2,500 people took to the city's streets in protest at the £6.6billion cost of the World Cup.

It used to be that we depended on parents and grandparents for on-the-spot kitchen instruction. Now, as changing lifestyles and the necessity of multitasking transform our society, we look elsewhere. But in our complex, fast-paced world, it seems that plain-old "recipe-only" cookbooks just don't cut the mustard.
Today, home cooks are hungry for practical information, while armchair culinary enthusiasts want to read and learn about fascinating foodways.
Happily, food books to whet every culinary appetite have been published this year. Some are packed with essential, user-friendly nuggets of information that guide the cook as she or he works in the kitchen. Some explore American and global cooking practices; still others combine both facets, along with glimpses into the past.
Here are five books that held me spellbound through every page.
· Encyclopedia of Jewish Food by Gil Marks
Marks is a rabbi, chef and historian — a recognized expert on the world of Jewish food. It took him two decades to gather all the information for this enormous culinary tome, and three years to put it all together.
The book delves into the history, culture and religious significance of traditional Jewish foods across the globe. The culinary traditions of individual communities throughout the Diaspora are explored, as well as how specific items included in holiday traditions unite Jews all over the world, such as the symbolic ingredients on the seder plate.
The result is a tour through 3,000 years of Jewish culinary history — foods produced in hard times and times of plenty; foods for survival, for daily meals, for rituals and for celebrations.
The author notes that Jews may literally eat anything from the petite madeleines cherished by Marcel Proust, whose mother was a member of an Alsatian Jewish family, to the grilled liver and organs favored by James Joyce's classic Irish-Jewish character Leopold Bloom in the modernist classic Ulysses.
Alphabetical entries range from the familiar, such as the afikomen, to the unusual, such as the spice mixture known as za'atar. Recipes are included, as are detailed descriptions and a history of the ingredients.
Marks has created a book that is both for reference and practical use. He writes in such an engaging manner and with such a depth of knowledge that the Encyclopedia of Jewish Food is a book I will return to again and again — a voyage of compelling culinary discovery.
· Culinary Ephemera: An Illustrated History by William Woys Weaver
The dictionary tells us that ephemera is anything transitory. This definition explains why internationally acclaimed food historian William Woys Weaver gave his latest book this title.
Weaver has collected items, such as posters, candy and popcorn bags, from other eras — some tattered, some food-stained. These ephemera were never intended to be kept for any length of time and were created for a specific purpose, such as advertising. But nevertheless, they each tell a story.
The emphasis is mainly on materials printed during the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th.
Weaver is meticulous in his research. He has divided this "culinary rubbish" into three categories: graphic design, date and location, and historical significance.
Illustrations are organized into distinct groups as well: menus, postcards, business cards and posters. Following this exciting paper trail, he transports the reader into the lives and customs of Americans in another time and place. His book makes for a nostalgic, wonderful read.
· The Food Substitution Bible by David Joachim
This 695-page tome is a practical reference work containing a wealth of rock-solid information. No matter which page you turn to, there's something that will apply to everyday cooking and entertaining. Whether you need to know how to substitute ingredients, equipment or cooking methods, this work will help you avoid costly mistakes.
In this hefty, user-friendly guide — organized from A to Z — Joachim describes, in precise detail, thousands of alternatives to bypass, or ultimately solve, kitchen calamities.
Each entry is set out in two columns. The left-hand column contains the ingredient or product and the right-hand column, headed "if you don't have it," contains the substitutions — and not just one, but anywhere from three to six.
For both the beginner cook and the experienced, The Food Substitutions Bible is an essential tool.
· The Turkish Cookbook, by Nur Ilkin and Sheilah Kaufman
This is more than just a collection of recipes. The full-color photography featuring the seven regions of Turkey is magnificent. The sight of the hills and villages along the Black Sea, the cities marked by tall spires, the beaches along the Aegean sea and the snow-capped mountains of eastern Anatolia made me yearn to explore and taste everything in this country of contrasts.
Ilkin and Kaufman have produced a dazzling combination of recipes and stories from one of the oldest Mediterranean cuisines. The collection includes classics, such as Roasted-Eggplant Dip (in Israel, it's called babaganoush); Nur's family favorite, which is Lamb Shanks With Romaine; and rare, centuries-old recipes, such as Tarhana Soup — tarhana being a pebble-like pasta.
Ilkin learned the secrets of her native cuisine from her grandmother. Kaufman has traveled extensively in Turkey, talking and cooking firsthand with families. Also described in brilliant detail are 10,000 years of history, the ethnic diversity that has enriched Turkey's culture and the many delights of its rich cuisine.
The Mediterranean diet — based on fresh fruits and vegetables, yogurt, fish and poultry — is presented here at its healthy best. (Did you know that eggplant alone can be prepared in more than 40 different ways?) Almost every recipe in this beautiful book can be made in a kosher kitchen.
· 97 Orchard: An Edible History of Five Immigrant Families in One New York Tenement by Jane Ziegelman
The author brings us into the daily lives of five immigrant families from different countries at the turn of the 20th century. At 97 Orchard — a cramped apartment building on New York's Lower East Side — there was a mix of Irish, Germans, Russians, Lithuanians and Italians. They were united in regards to one aim: to survive and forge a better life in a new country.
We see their resourcefulness in feeding their families when money was scarce. But they were also determined to retain the culinary traditions of their respective homelands. They didn't speak English and had few profitable skills, but they learned quickly.
German-owned beer gardens opened along the Bowery; Russian Jews started cafes serving strudel and blintzes; and Romanian nightclubs attracted New Yorkers from outside the immigrant ghetto.
Ziegelman's 97 Orchard is not a recipe book, per se, but a few ethnic recipes do make their way into the text, illustrating some of the staple dishes that fortified 20th-century immigrants.
Lentil Soup
From 97 Orchard. Lentil Soup, prepared with inexpensive ingredients, was a hearty favorite of the German-Jewish homemaker. This recipe comes from Kela Nussbaum, a Bavarian who immigrated to the United States shortly after World War II. Ringwurst was probably highly seasoned beef sausage, somewhat similar to salami.
1 bag (1 lb.) brown lentils
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 stalks celery, finely sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ringwurst (approximately 1 lb.)
2 Tbsps. flour
salt and pepper
Soak lentils in abundant cold water until they expand, about 2 hours. Drain and set aside.
In a large soup pot, sauté the onion and celery until soft, and onion turns a pale gold.
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
Add the ringwurst, whole, drained lentils and 7 cups water. Bring to a gentle boil. Turn down the heat and simmer until lentils are barely tender.
In a cup, mix the flour with a few tablespoons of the cooking broth to form a roux.
When free of lumps, return roux to the soup pot.
Stir and continue cooking until lentils are fully tender, but still hold their shape.
Remove the ringwurst, slice into discs, and return to the pot.
Season with salt and pepper.
Serves 6.
Ashkenazic Egg Cookies
From Gil Marks' Encyclopedia of Jewish Food
11/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. double-acting baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 Tbsps. sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil, plus about 11/2 tsps. additional oil for brushing
1/4 cup additional sugar (if desired, mix with 11/2 tsp. cinnamon) for sprinkling
Arrange the rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat to 375°.
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease the sheets
Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and 3 tablespoons of sugar until light and creamy, 5 to 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup oil and beat for 10 minutes. Stir in the flour mixture.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough 1/4-inch thick. Brush with additional oil.
Sprinkle with additional sugar and gently run a rolling pin over the top to embed the crystals. Cut into 2-inch diamonds or squares. Place on prepared baking sheets.
Bake one sheet at a time, until puffed and lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool.
Store in a paper or cloth bag at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Makes about 36 small cookies.
Potato Salad With Tahini
From The Turkish Cookbook. Instead of mayonnaise, this "mashed" salad uses a dressing based on tahini.
4 cups water
sea salt
1 lb. golden potatoes
1/2 cup tahini
freshly squeezed juice of 1 lemon
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
4 Tbsps. extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
3/4 tsp. Aleppo pepper*
In a 3-quart pot, place the water, salt and potatoes; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender (test by inserting a toothpick). Drain well and cool.
Peel the potatoes and push them through a ricer, then purée them.
Add the tahini, salt, lemon juice and garlic. Blend well with a wooden spoon and slowly add the olive oil, cumin and pepper, mixing well. Place in a serving dish and sprinkle with some Aleppo pepper.
*A substitute for Aleppo pepper is made by mixing 3 parts paprika with 1 part cayenne pepper or red-pepper flakes. If preferred, just paprika will do.
Serves 4 to 6.

MUNICH (Aug. 18)
The return to the Jewish community of the former synagogue in the town of Offenbach vas demanded today at a meeting of the Jewish Communities in the province of Hesse. The meeting was held under the chairmanship of Dr. Curt Epstein, chief of the restitution section of the Hesse denazification ministry, Dr. R. Allshoff and Max Willner.
The Offenbach synagogue was remodeled by the Nazis into a motion picture theatre and at the present time is still being used to slow films. The meeting also adopted a resolution demanding the reinstatement of the office of "Commissioner for Former Persecutes," which was recently dissolved in Hesse, pointing out that "at a time when anti-Semitism is rising again, the state commissioner should guard justice."

Men's basketball: Benson's Lindahl back on target after knee injury
MOORHEAD -- Aaron Lindahl missed all but 10 games his junior year after sustaining a season-ending knee injury.
But the Benson graduate is back this year and hitting the mark for the Concordia Cobbers (2-2).
On Saturday the 6-foot-4 senior guard scored 19 points as the Cobbers dipped UW-Superior 95-90 in two overtimes at the Yellowjackets' Invite.
The next day, again coming off the bench, he plunked for 13 points in a 90-84 setback to UW-River Falls.
Lindahl and the Cobbers debuted at Morris against the Minnesota Morris Cougars with 24 points in a 78-76 on Nov. 15.
The Cobbers' roster also includes three area athletes, each listed as a freshman guard: Brett Bergeson of Montevideo, Corey Abbas of Renville and Blake Johnsrud of Starbuck.

DeCrane Aerospace was founded 19 years ago by Jack DeCrane with the idea of assembling under a single umbrella all aspects of aircraft interior completion and refurbishment. Here at NBAA (Booth No. 268), DeCrane has pulled together all its interior products divisions more closely, under a more centralized marketing strategy, to offer a "single-source solution" to the executive/VIP cabin.
These solutions represent a restructuring launched officially at last year's NBAA Convention by new CEO Roger Wolfe in which DeCrane Aircraft Holdings became DeCrane Aerospace. Seven divisions operate under that flag: Aircraft Seating, Audio International, Carl F. Booth Veneers, Hollingshead International, PATS Aircraft Completions, PCI Composites and Precision Pattern Interiors. The various divisions represent virtually every aspect of executive/VIP aircraft interiors, from entertainment to seating to cabinetry.
Embraer's Lineage 1000, an executive/VIP version of the Brazilian manufacturer's E190 airliner, is an example of the success of that strategy, according to v-p of sales and marketing Heidi Pursley.
DeCrane's PATS Aircraft Completions has a contract to perform the interior completion installation on 36 Lineage 1000s. The first 1000 is nearly ready for delivery from the center's Georgetown, Del. facility. Two more are in early stages of completion, creating what Pursley said is a unique completion assembly line made up of a staging area and three work stations. Based on a three-month completion cycle, Pursley said PATS expects to roll out finished Lineage 1000s at the rate of about one a month when operating at full capacity by early next year.
In addition to PATS doing the interior installation, all the major cabin components, from cabinetry to cabin control systems, are coming from DeCrane divisions.
While promoting its strategy as a one-stop-shop for interior completion and refurbishment, Pursley said DeCrane continues to bid on individual aircraft contracts. The PATS facility is currently installing the auxiliary fuel tank system and head-up display for the first BBJ 3 from Boeing Business Jets.
In Canada, Flying Colours has selected DeCrane's Audio International as the exclusive supplier of cabin management and entertainment systems for the Canadian completion and refurbishment center's CRJ200 executive/VIP conversion program.
More recently, Embraer selected DeCrane Aircraft Seating as the exclusive supplier of passenger seats for its Phenom 100 and 300 programs. DeCrane Aircraft Seating is responsible for design, certification and manufacture of the seats, and deliveries have already begun for the 100, for which FAA certification is expected this month.

Sister act: Grand Junction helps coach top sister, Central in sweep
Emmie Madison could only imagine what it was like for her coach.
Carol Elliott, the Grand Junction High School tennis coach, was coaching the Tigers against the person she learned the sport from — her sister, Kathy Elliott.
"I can imagine it would be tough, but it kind of adds to it," Madison said. "Brother, sister rivalries are kind of fun. You want to beat your brothers and sisters, but I can imagine it's hard playing similar styles."
Madison and the Tigers made it easier for Carol with a 7-0 victory over Central on Thursday at Central High School.
Although the sisters teased each other before the dual started, it was tough going against each other again.
"We don't like competing against each other," Carol said. "We did it all growing up. You get to a point you had enough and want to be on the same side, but our approach is we're all here for the girls and the tennis community. We know a lot of the Central kids and Kathy knows a lot of the Junction kids because we do a lot of summer things together."
The Tigers, with several new players in doubles and girls playing singles for the first time, swept all seven matches in straight sets, but the Warriors, with several new players themselves, pushed Grand Junction — especially at No. 3 singles and No. 2 doubles.
Grand Junction's Samantha Weinberg defeated a pesky Katie Murphy 7-6 (7-4), 7-5 at No. 3 singles and Kylie Pond and Margeaux Prinster held on for a 6-4, 7-5 victory over Kelsey Sloan and Farron Mock.
Grand Junction No. 2 singles player Alex Proietti overcame a tough first set to defeat Jamie Johnson 6-4, 6-1.
Proietti, who has two brothers, couldn't imagine what it would be like coaching against a sibling.
"I can't imagine it," Proietti said. "Coaching in itself would be tough enough, then going against a sibling would be pretty crazy because they're in your head.
"It's definitely interesting having sisters coaching against each other. Really, the way we looked at it as another match that we had to come out and be tough. It didn't matter who was playing or coaching."
Madison and her No. 1 double partner, Madison Gurley, defeated Nikki Keeling and Ashley Wells 6-1, 6-0.
"(Carol Elliott) really wanted us to come out and win and I didn't want to let her down," Madison said. "I know none of the other girls did either."
Kathy Elliott said that attitude makes the Tigers competitive even with a lack of experience this season.
"That's what I'm so impressed with the Tigers this year," Kathy said. "They're going to compete with everybody, even though they lost some key players from last year. They have the attitude that comes with being a winner every year and that attitude carries you pretty far. We're a couple seasons from earning that, but we're on the right track."
Kathy coached Greeley West for 17 years before retiring from teaching and moving back to the Grand Valley. She took over the Central program this year with the help of her brother, David Elliott.
"I look forward to having a more competitive product and I think we'll grow into that, but we've got a little ways to go," Kathy said. "Our girls can play a little tennis, but they can't compete quite yet. I'll look forward to that because I'd really like to see how we get along if we can get our girls to that level."

Hello folks! Did you have a lovely Mother's Day weekend? I hope you all had a chance to enter the Mother's Day giveaway I hosted. If you didn't know about it, PLEASE subscribe to my blog. That way you won't miss out on any goodies!
Speaking of goodies, this mama landed herself a shiny new iPhone 4S! I joked with a friend that if hubby didn't get my hints about this gift, he would be totally spaced out! Poor fellas, sometimes they just can't read our minds, right? Why IS that? 😉
And, I also received a few beautiful gifts from our girls. First, handmade cards:
The one in the foreground with the flowers is from our eldest, and she came up with poem for the inside:
HA HA! "I'm so glad you didn't have a son"! I also laughed with the hot cross buns. I've never made hot cross buns! Hee. I asked her if she was talking about my bottom, and she rolled her eyes saying "moooom, that is SO inappropriate". Indeed, mommy is *quite* embarrassing to this eleven-year old!
The other card was from our 7 year old, and it was gifted with this very special pen set. They are set in the little pot with black beans (couldn't be better suited to this 'Queen-Bean' veg mom)! And, she also wrote something special inside:
As for my day, I can't say I lounged around all too much! In the morning I baked these "Krispie Chip Cookies" from Let Them Eat Vegan. They are a variation on my Homestyle Chocolate Chip Cookie (that recipe is here). I use the Nature's Path Crispy Rice Cereal, which isn't as 'snap, crackle, and pop-y' as the original, but made with brown rice flour so a better choice in my books!
Don't you just want to dunk one?! I baked a LOT of these. Our girls started at a new school last Friday, so I brought some of these cookies and also some BF Blueberry Muffins to the new teachers and principal. It's amazing how a little baked treat makes people smile. I love it.
By the way, the winner of the Mother's Day cookbook giveaway was Sherri, with this comment:
My favorite Mothers Day memory is going to my moms house and cleaning her bedroom for her for Mothers Day. She struggled with housekeeping and loved a clean house but living in the country with a huge garden..she was canning and cooking all the time and there was not much time for cleaning. I can remember the look on her face as she would walk in her room and just hug me for all the work I did for her. She died 8 years ago from breast cancer but she planted a seed in me for eating healthy. After the first couple of rounds of chemo she refused more txs and started juicing and not eating meat. We thought she was crazy at the time because we were all meat eaters but now I am walking in her path choosing to be vegan. I feel great and have a ways to go to lose weight but I am getting there. Happy Mothers Day Dreena!
Congratulations Sherri! Please e-mail me with your mailing address so I can get a book sent out to you!

Kayak fishing: Angling by paddle power offers a placid, lower-cost alternative
Kayaks are a hot segment of the fishing boat market. Cody Carpenter, athletic trainer for The Colony High School, is an advocate for kayak fishing. He's a Pro Staff member for both Wilderness Systems Kayaks and Werner Paddles.
Carpenter recently answered questions about kayak fishing, which allows him to fish in Dallas-area lakes without concern for the low-water impact on boat ramps:
What are the advantages to kayak fishing?
I enjoy the closeness to nature and the peacefulness that comes along with it. The low cost (both initial investment and maintenance, when compared to a gasoline-powered fishing boat) is a bonus. Since you can't zip across the lake to another fishing spot in a kayak, you learn to slow down and hone your fishing skills.
How much does it cost to set up a kayak for fishing?
I fish from a model that retails for about $1,000. You can spend more than $3,000 and you can spend less than $1,000. Comfort and affordability are a tricky balance. I always recommend that someone considering a kayak should try out different makes and models. (Mariner Sails has a demonstration each Thursday evening at White Rock Lake; visit mariner-sails.com). Every kayak has strengths and weaknesses and they all feel different to different paddlers.
How important are a comfortable kayak seat and a good paddle?
A comfortable seat is very important, and it's usually what sets great kayaks apart from good ones. A kayak is what keeps you afloat, but the paddle is your engine and you shouldn't scrimp on the paddle. I use a paddle with a carbon fiber shaft and fiberglass blades (about $275). It's very lightweight and I can tell the difference at the end of a long paddling day.
How do you rig a kayak for fishing?
I recommend that new kayakers go out and fish a few times in the boat, as it comes from the factory, before deciding what accessories they need. Beginners can learn a lot on the Texas Fishing Forum (texasfishingforum.com), where kayak anglers are very accepting of newcomers. The options are unlimited now. Companies like Yakattack and Yak Gear have amped up the accessories for kayak fishing. Many anglers prefer the DIY route to make low-cost rigging on their own. My kayak is rigged with an anchor trolley ($30), Yakattack Blackpak ($125, combination rod holders and gear box), Yakattack VISIcarbon Pro flag ($85, makes the low-floating kayak more visible to power boats) and a $200 Lowrance fish finder that runs off a deer feeder battery.
Is the kayak strictly a warm-weather fishing boat?
The kayak I use is a completely dry ride unless I get wet on purpose. In the summer, I will take a break from fishing and jump in the water to cool off. My kayak is so stable that re-entry is not a problem. I fish year round.
What kind of vehicle is required to transport a kayak?
Any vehicle that you have. I have seen a kayak transported on a rack attached to the roof of a Smart Car. My particular kayak weighs 80 pounds and is 111/2 feet long. I use a truck bed extender on my Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Rooftop carriers cost from $35 to nearly $500. The best choice boils down to research, how far you plan to travel and what works best for your vehicle.
What's the coolest thing you've seen while fishing from a kayak?
Everything from alligators and bald eagles to friends catching record fish. The most amazing thing I've seen is Heroes on the Water, an organization that puts returning veterans, often wounded veterans, into kayaks as a form of therapy. It helps them unwind from the physical and mental stresses of combat and physical rehabilitation.

Andy Samberg will be able to have lots of "Lazy Sundays" -- and Saturdays -- from here on out.
In a Friday interview with The New York Times, the comedian confirmed reports that he will not be returning to Saturday Night Live in the fall.
"It's an incredibly emotional and strange moment in my life," Samberg, 33, told the paper. "Obviously it's not a huge shock, but I did officially decide not to come back."
Adding that it was "one of the hardest decisions I've ever made," the actor -- who joined the show's ensemble in 2005-- said he sought advice from Kristen Wiig, who is also departing after seven years.
"She kept saying it just feels like it's her time," he shared. "I connect with that. Something about it just feels like it's the moment. My contract's up and I did so much more than I ever thought I would ever even do."
Us Weekly first broke the news in April that Wiig and Samberg were leaving the sketch comedy show; in an interview on Alec Baldwin's radio show later that month, Wiig, 38, hinted the chatter about her departure was true.
"When I do leave, it's not because I'm sick of it and not because I see something better or anything like that," the Bridesmaid star explained. "It's just that it's time. When I do leave it will be the hardest thing . . . This is my seventh year and that's my family. It's my heart. It's New York to me."

Uncharted is the flagship game for PlayStation Vita. The series has sold over 13m units globally since in just over four years, since the first Uncharted arrived on PS3 in November 2007.
The adventure franchise has received highly favourable reviews thanks to its epic movie-like feel and Tomb Raider style exploration gameplay.
Now Sony is publishing Uncharted: Golden Abyss as a launch title for PlayStation Vita to give its new handheld a real kick-start at retail.In this brand new title – with 30 levels – explorer and series protagonist Nathan Drake follows the trail of a 400-year-old secret Spanish sect.
As players race across America looking for a legendary lost city, they'll have to cross river basins and explore temple ruins along the way. Drake gets caught in the middle of a rivalry between his old friend Jason Dante and Marisa Chase, the granddaughter of a missing archaeologist.
Golden Abyss makes good use of PS Vita's unique features, too. Users can touch, steer and tilt the portable console to swing and jump across ravines. They can use the front and back touch pads to move Drake, and Vita's motion sensor to swing him from rope to rope. If this control system is too new for some Uncharted fans, they can just use the dual analog sticks and buttons.
The game has been developed by Resistance: Retribution developer Sony Bend Studios.
Expect Golden Abyss to be the day one choice for many PS Vita buyers.

UK Immigration Law
Have UK Immigration Law Questions? Get Answers Now.
Thanks for your question.
The short answer to your question is no you will not.
A Toursit Visa is issued to people for the purposes of Tourism. As a Tourist, you are not eligible to set up in business in the UK or to undertake any work.
The 5 year multi-entry Visitors visa you have been granted would allow you and your family entry into the UK for a period of 6 months after which you must leave the UK. During your time in the UK you are not permitted to work or set up in business. If you do, you will be in breach of your Visa conditions.
A multi-rntry Visitors Visa saves you the trouble of having to apply for a Visitors Visa for the next 5 years, however, you are only entitled to stay in the UK for up to 6 months ata a time.
I hope this answers yoru question. If so, kindlyc lick accept.
If you wish to discuss, please feel free to askj further questions.
Kind regards,
I would like to finesse the information I have given you to ensure that your answere matches my situation
Although I will be tarevlling to the UK frequently on business I do not plan for the visits to be lengthy periods ... maybe up to a week - as we are apponiting a UK citizen/resident as our UK operations director
Does this in anyway change your understanding and advice
I am afrtaid my advice would not change in light of the new information provided. Any type of work is prohibited whilst a person is in possession of a Tourist Visa.
I hope this answers your question. If so, kindly click accept.
Hello I am following up with supplementary questions regarding UK tourist v business VISAs.
1. When we (husband & wife directors of a UK company) have a business visa, will we also require a tourist visa in any of the following scenarios?
a) Our son (who is now five years old) accompanies us
b) We extend a business trip to include tourist activities (two scenarios - with or without our son)
c) We visit only for tourist purposes (two scenarios - with or without our son)
3. What is the cost of the business visa for two directors of a UK company who are also husband & wife?
2. If we conclude that when we have a business Visa we no longer require a 5 year tourist Visa, is there an opportunity to get any refund for the tourist visa or get a deduction on the cost of the business visa
Thank you
Sorry for the delayed response.
In response to your above questions:
1. Your Son will require Entry Clearance if he accompanies you. If you are on Business, you will not be required to obtain a Tourist Visa.
2. You should not be required to make an application if you are already in the UK and are still within the 6 month limit.
3. If you are visiting for Tourist purposes with or without your Son, you will technically, require a Tourist Visa.
4. I will check the current fee and revert back to you.
5. Generally, refunds are not given.
I hope this helps.

Is an E-mount OSS lens necessary for HHT/AMB?
JohnK wrote:
Does anyone know if an E-mount lens with OSS is needed for the NEX shooting modes that merge several shots in-camera, such as Anti Motion Blur? I shoot vintage lenses in these modes but wonder if the camera is really "doing anything" or if a lens with OSS is needed for best results?-- hide signature --
Take a picture, it'll last longer.
The OSS advantage will be in that for HHT, the camera will go 2-3 stops below the guideline shutter speed (1/focal length*crop factor) before selecting next higher ISO. With non-OS lens, the shutter speed may be determined to be faster and camera's choice for higher ISO may rise faster.
In case of AMB, I think the difference would be non-existent since the camera prioritizes faster shutter speed.
HHT (and AMB) will work with OS and non-OS lenses.

text: Module Name: src Committed By: pgoyette Date: Sat Jun 26 07:23:57 UTC 2010 Modified Files: src/sys/kern: init_main.c kern_module.c src/sys/sys: module.h Log Message: 1. Add an allocator for 'struct module *' and use it instead of local allocations. 2. Add a new member mod_flags to the 'struct module *' and define MODFLG_MUST_FORCE. If this flag is set and the entry is on the list of builtins, it means that the module has been explicitly unloaded and any re-loads will require the MODCTL_LOAD_FORCE flag. Provide a module_require_force() method to set this flag; once set, it should never be unset. 3. Rename original module_init2() to module_start_unload_thread() to be more descriptive of what it does. 4. Add a new module_builtin_require_force() routine that sets the MODFLG_MUST_FORCE flag for any module that has not yet successfully been initialized. Call it after module_init_class(MODULE_CLASS_ANY) to disable remaining built-in modules. This makes built-in versions of the xxxVERBOSE modules work once more, resolving breakage reported by jruoho@ and njoly@. Discussed on tech-kern, and comments and suggestions implemented. No additional discussion for last week. Tested only on amd64 systems, but there's nothing here that should be port- or architecture-specific (no more specific than existing module implementation) so others should not break.

The Wenatchee Complex wildfire is sending a thick blanket of smoke through the Central Washington town. Some residents of Wenatchee and nearby communities have fled their homes. Several fires have combined to make a more than 1,000-acre blaze in the hills near town. A lightning storm Saturday night started more than two dozen fires in the area; many are still burning.
Chaz Cox is a manager at the Caffé Mela in downtown Wenatchee.
Cox: "Fires aren't a total random thing for us over here. I mean, we do deal with fires pretty commonly, especially this time of year. A lot of us are used to the smoke and used to the fires, but it's just a little scary to have one this close to town."
More firefighters are arriving to fight the Wenatchee-area fires, but so far there are about 300 people battling the blaze. No homes have been lost yet, but a few sheds and other structures have burned.

Which Came First, the MRI or the Inflation?
Technological Change and the Growth of Health Care Spending suggests that technology does as much to spur costs as to contain them. Surprisingly well written for a government document, the CBO treatise lays out the case that: a) healthcare costs are rising in an unsustainable way and b) the advent of new technology is a primary culprit. "On the basis of review of the economic literature, CBO concludes that roughly half of the increase in healthcare spending during the past several decades was associated with the expanded capabilities of medicine brought about by technological advances," it says.
Despite its potential to improve care and outcomes, new technology can spur price increases in several ways, the report says. For example, the very power of diagnostic imaging results in increased deployment. A diagnostic scan may be less expensive than costly surgery. "But by their nature they invite much greater use and therefore tend to increase total spending compared with previous methods," the report says. Likewise, life-extending coronary and dialysis procedures have become commonplace. True, patients are living longer, but in the meanwhile, they are running up more bills and creating more demand.
The report, however, does not lay the rising cost of healthcare exclusively at the doorstep of older people, saying that while elderly people incur higher costs than younger ones, the overall contribution of an aging population to spending is often exaggerated. Other social factors, such as rising obesity, also are driving up costs.
Technology creates its own silent time bomb of future cost. Consider IT storage. The unit cost of disk space has dropped remarkably in the last few years. Alas, the demand for more space has gone the other way. Modern hospitals now measure their data centers in terabytes. And as more images work their way into digital archives, the budget for storage will continue to grow--even though the hardware may be shrinking in cost and physical size alike.
The report is short on specific solutions to this problem, only suggesting that Medicare should revisit its payment policies on high-tech procedures. Ironically, the presence of health insurance in the first place may drive up costs, because it insulates consumers from the real cost of medical technology. We already know that technology races far ahead of the ethical debate around its use--witness the controversy on stem cell research. Now we can add that technology also races far ahead of our understanding of the economics surrounding its use.

The Free States would work perfectly for what I have planned, though they won't have congealed. Rather, a war between the city-states is possible. You would be allied with one of the city-states. I would require you to make it your base of operations, something you'd like to see survive. While war is not eminent, folks are concerned and milita are mobilizing.
The origin of the seeds of war, the anger and distrust, are not apparent. There is no obvious provocation; no assassination, insult or tarriff raised. But you've been around enough to suspect there are other forces at work. Just remember your youth, when you saved the Duke! There are always forces in the shadows.
As paragons of the land, you have the opportunity to save countless lives or to wipe cities off the map. You'll get to decide how best to defend your home. You will face off against some of the most powerful arcane masters in the land, as well as demons, elementals, dragons, aberrations, giants and the like. As I said, there are powerful forces involved.

i've had several meals at Somerset since they opened (I want to like them, it's very near my job), and while I can't say a single one was bad, the overall impression I have is overkill. There is always a little too much, a little too rich. The dish that exemplified this for me was the butter lettuce salad, which had sliced shreds of butter lettuce with blue cheese, egg, I think bacon too, and desperately welcomed toybox tomatoes. I separated at least a quarter cup of blue cheese out and still every bite I took was laden with it. The "fritto misto"with calamari and artichokes used canned marinated artichokes, as does the "black olive and artichoke tart" which is actually a quiche with the mentioned ingredients.
The prawn enchiladas are made with flour tortillas (totally weird to me) and the roasted poblano sauce is tasty but not at all recognizable as Mexican. It came with a cabbage slaw which was the only light tasting item I've ever had there, a very small serving, and rice, which had the consistency of jambalaya (wet) with a nice bit of heat and too much tomato.
I did love the steak sandwich, and I love the side broccoli salad ( with bacon). The salmon with vegetable hash was delicious but the fingerling potatoes in the hash tasted like leftover deep-fried potatoes, maybe from brunch? All the other vegetable were fresh.
So I can't say skip it, I keep hoping it will be great, but if the chef or owner reads this I want to just say—lighten up a bit!

Apple filed paperwork Monday to ban US sales of eight Samsung mobile phones following Samsung's patent infringement conviction last week.
The iPhone maker wants a preliminary ban on US sales pending a final injunction in the case, Reuters reported.
More from GlobalPost: Samsung could be ordered to pay Apple $3B in damages
The request would target Samsung's Galaxy S 4G, Galaxy S2 AT&T, Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, Galaxy S2 T-Mobile, Galaxy S2 Epic 4G, Galaxy S Showcase, Galaxy Prevail and Droid Charge phones, CNet reported.
In its filing, Apple wrote that it's filing the request "to address a portion of the immediate, ongoing irreparable harm that Apple is suffering."
More from GlobalPost: Samsung violated Apple patents, jury finds
Last week, a jury in California found Samsung "willfully" infringed on half a dozen patents relating to Apple's iconic iPhone and iPad.
The nine-person jury ordered Samsung to pay Apple $1.05 billion in damages, but Judge Lucy Koh has the power to triple the amount because the infringements were found to be "willful," the Washington Post reported.
Samsung has vowed to contest the verdict.
A hearing is set for Sept. 20 to decide whether Apple can file injunctions against the sale of certain Samsung products in the United States, Agence France-Presse reported.

Well summertime is here, and of course guys want to look just as cool yet sophisticated as the ladies in warmer temps!
In case your boo wants to pull on a pair of shorts, tell him to first check out our quick guide to wearing shorts artfully.
Here are five fun do's and don'ts:
1. Do choose the right length.
Anything from mid-thigh to just below the knee is certainly acceptable. If your shorts are too long, you'll veer into awkward capri territory (and at that point why not just wear pants?).
Also anything shorter…is just uncivilized.
2. Don't Sag.
It's no longer the naughty nineties gentlemen. Pull those pants up! We really don't need to see your underwear.
3. Do Incorporate Color.
It's the summer, so have fun. Veer away from predictable khaki with shorts in red or even purple. Really, you can do it.
4. Don't wear athletic shorts off the court.
Leave your oversized gym shorts for when you're working out (or en route to working out). Athletic shorts are simply not ok for lunch dates, barbeques, or dinner. Note: they can be acceptable for super casual days hanging with your boo.
5. Do play with prints.
Once again, it's ok to be a bit bold. Not everyone can pull off ice cream shorts like Pharrell, but camouflage or stripes work for just about anyone.
Do you guys have anything to add?

The good guys win. That is why I loved the westerns of previous times. Roy Rogers, Trigger, the Lone Ranger and Silver always saw that the bad guys were apprehended.? Life seems more ambiguous now. ?
A perfect bright child succumbs to autism. His teachers tell his mother that she should accept it as an accomplishment that they will be lucky if he learns to tie his shoes by adulthood. He falls in love with an astronomy text book at the book store. Carries it everywhere.
At barely age 3, his mother took him to a lecture on astronomy and an opportunity to look through a telescope spurred by her son's intense interest in that book, though he still cannot tie shoes and hardly speaks.?
The lecturer asked why the moons around Mars were elliptical, shaped like potatoes.? This small boy, who still could not tie his shoes, said that the moons were small and the gravitational effects of the moons were not large enough to pull them into complete spheres."
His mother, busy, not wealthy, running a full time daycare business, having two other children after this one is Roy Rogers, Trigger, the Lone Ranger, Silver and Lassie.?
She finds what interests her son and provides for the experiences that allow him to learn from those interests. "So," you say: well, her son is obviously a genius, a bit challenged by autism, but a genius all the same and that is true.? But he could have stayed totally shut down, not talking, acting out, anti-social without all the time she gave him to do what he loved.
She expanded her programs to include an evening for autistic kids and their parents and another for the lowest functioning kids using the same approach. She helped Katy communicate through baking and decorating and began acting as an advocate for a number of her children who were now in public school. She started a sports program - sports are not something that most kids with autism handle well - made it fun for both the kids and the whole family.? As she said, fun was not something families with an autistic kid had a lot of.
For some odd reason, in our catalog the title is The Spark: raising a genius while my book says, The Spark: a mother's story of nurturing genius.

WOODBURY, Minn. (AP) - Bystanders came to the aid of a man run over and pinned underneath an SUV at a Woodbury gas station.
Sixty-five-year-old Kenneth Burke, of Little Canada, was critically injured Wednesday when the Ford Excursion hit him and trapped him underneath. Witnesses ran from the SuperAmerica store, from other vehicles and the gas pumps to help Burke, but there was little they could do to move the 7,000-pound SUV.
A Bay City, Wis., woman crawled under the vehicle to comfort Burke and offer her sweat shirt. Fire responders arrived and used an extrication tool to free Burke, who was taken to Regions Hospital in St. Paul.
Burke's wife, Dianne, tells the Star Tribune her husband had recently suffered a stroke and was walking with a cane.
