Publication: The Day
New London - The state's top financial official said Tuesday that the city will receive an advance on educational cost sharing funds today to ensure that it does not default on a $1.7 million payroll payment it must make Friday.
Benjamin Barnes, secretary of the state Office of Policy and Management, said the city's request that the state expedite the $11 million payment due to the city on April 30 was not unreasonable or unprecedented.
"Right before the April 30 ECS payments is a low period for virtually every community for cash," Barnes said. "That April 30 ECS payment is often a significant source of cash for the month of May for communities."
Compounding the issue is the fact that New London has an anemic fund balance - the account that can act as a financial cushion or overdraft protection - and cannot rely on it during cash crunches as a city with a robust fund balance might.
"If the community has maintained some level of a fund balance, they should be able to weather their low cash periods," he said. "But it is understandable given where they are and the depletion of their fund balance."
Other municipalities have in past years requested an advance on ECS funding, Barnes said, though it does not happen frequently.
On Monday, Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio announced that the city has just $400,000 in the bank, not enough to pay its $1.7 million biweekly payroll at the end of this week.
After Finance Director Jeff Smith informed him of that on Thursday, the mayor called an emergency meeting of his staff and the city's financial team. He then called Gov. Dannel P. Malloy to alert him to the city's situation. Since then, state officials have been coordinating with the city to help avoid a situation in which the city could not pay its employees.
"At this point I feel comfortable, though we don't have the money in the bank yet, that we will in fact have cash on hand and be able to make our payroll on Friday," Smith said.
Barnes said that avoiding a default is important to both the city and state, and that expediting the ECS funds was the obvious and reasonable way to do that.
"We would much rather that Mr. Smith and Mayor Finizio are able to dedicate their time to solving the long-standing problems they are facing rather than lurching from one short-term crisis to another," he said.
Over the last few years, Smith said, he has been in contact with OPM "on a fairly regular basis" to keep the state up to date on the status of the city as it struggles with financial issues.
Smith, who as a former chairman of the Municipal Finance Advisory Commission worked with OPM to improve the financial health of struggling cities and towns, asked OPM officials to review the bonding package he and the mayor presented to the City Council two weeks ago.
The City Council sanctioned the bonding of $4.4 million to account for state grant funding the city has never collected and to pay for vehicle purchases made last year that were originally going to be paid from the general fund.
On Monday, the council voted 4-3 to approve bonding of an additional $1.1 million to replace money the city took from the fund balance when projects ran over budget. Because the motion received only four votes, it was passed only in its first reading and will require final council approval.
"Obviously, the city would rather not have to do this. But it does appear to be a prudent and responsible approach to solving their short-term cash issue," Barnes said. "As a former MFAC chair, (Smith) is extraordinarily well-equipped to understand the types of action that might be necessary to get through the city's current short-term problems and address them in a long-term way."
The City Council will hold a special meeting at 7 tonight to further discuss the bonding proposal.

Not the biggest backpack but perfect for carrying lunch/extra clothes whatever you need for a ride. I always take a towel, a few waters, and my gps with plenty of extra space. I use both on my enduro around town and on the trails with my quad and other bike. Could easily carry a laptop or something if you needed to. Best part of the pack is the straps. Others dig into your shoulders or are uncomfortable and these are great. Don't get too hot wearing it either. I like it so much I have considered buying another just so one is clean when I'm riding around town and the other I can leave dusty/dirty without getting my normal clothes messy. I would not hesitate to recommend this backpack to anyone.Read All Reviews

NO VENTS!!!! I love the jacket... Its got 8500+ miles on it... It makes an awesome wind breaker as well as a rain jacket... In warmer weather its a little hot with no vents. But other then that. She's holding up nicely and the bright yellow gets me noticed.... Riding in a tropical storm i got a little damp by my elbows. But I still haven't figured out why. I've never gotten wet besides then.... Highly recommendRead All Reviews

Detroit Consortium College Preparatory High School's varsity boy's basketball team will play their first game Tuesday night without their leader. Al Anderson collapsed and died after a game on Saturday from heart failure. He was just 40 years old.
"It's going to be emotional first game back without him," said senior captain Vincent Hunter.
"It will be a ton of emotion, a ton of emotion, and it will be therapy for us all. It will be nothing hidden as to what is going on. We have a person that was the core of one of our key programs, and he was not just a basketball coach here," said principal Rod Atkins.
Coach's chair will be empty for the game. There will be a shirt draped over the back and flowers to signify a man who made an impact to so many.
"He [taught] me how to be a man and work hard every day and just control myself and be responsible off the court... as well as on the court," Hunter said.
Suffice to say, this has been a very trying, but also a very uplifting week.
"It's had a lot of sadness, but also a lot of joy because we're not just dwelling on his death, but we are celebrating his life," Atkins said.
Consortium is 13-3 this season and the Cougars are one of the favorites to win the state championship and that dream is still alive.
"It might be a little harder, but I think we're going to get it done," said Hunter.

Does anyone here buy/read baking cookbooks?
I'm looking for a birthday gift for my cousin and she likes to bake so I thought this might be a good idea. She's a pretty competent baker and is probably advanced compared to the general population although far from obsessed like most of us around here.
So she doesn't need one of those comprehensive basic books, but I thought it might be fun to get her something with a unique focus. Any ideas?

Hong Kong
Hong Kong consists of the island of Hong Kong (32 sq mi; 83 sq km), Stonecutters' Island, Kowloon Peninsula, and the New Territories on the adjoining mainland. The island of Hong Kong was ceded to Britain in 1841. Stonecutters' Island and Kowloon were annexed in 1860, and the New Territories, which are mainly agricultural lands, were leased from China in 1898 for 99 years. On July 1, 1997, Hong Kong was returned to China. The vibrant capitalist enclave retains its status as a free port, with its laws to remain unchanged for 50 years. Its first chief executive, Tung Chee-hwa, formulated a policy agenda based on the concept of "one country, two systems," thus preserving Hong Kong's economic independence.
In a series of massive demonstrations in July 2003, more than 500,000 people took to the streets of Hong Kong to protest proposed antisubversion laws that curtailed civil rights. Surprisingly, Tung Chee-hwa scrapped the law in September. After pro-democracy parties handed pro-China parties a stunning defeat in November elections, China quickly moved to stifle the democracy movement. In April 2004, Beijing officials postponed indefinitely the expansion of the number of popularly elected legislators. Hundreds of thousands protested. Pro-democracy candidates took about 60% of the popular vote in Sept. 2004 elections, but Beijing's legislative system granted them only 40% of the seats in the legislature.
Donald Tsang, with the backing of Beijing, was overwhelmingly reelected as chief executive in March 2007. Tsang was challenged by Alan Leong, the former leader of the Hong Kong Bar Association and an advocate for voting rights in Hong Kong.

When you're not on your surfboard, Roxy has a full line of adorable apparel, perfect for relaxing in the beach house, wearing while cruising on your town bike, and even for a first date to the shaved ice shop with the Australian surf instructor who was more than happy to give you some freebie pointers in the waves yesterday.

Crisp, black grosgrain silk gives a sharp definition to this stylish if deceptively simple cocktail dress which still looks back to a 1950s silhouette. However, its neat unfussy lines are created and supported by a complicated understructure using stiffened black net, boning, foam bust padding and a layered underskirt. Elegant but unfussy, this dress exemplifies Dior's 1954 declaration that "a little black frock is essential to a woman's wardrobe".
In 1947, Christian Dior staked his place in fashion history with his famous "New Look", featuring sloping shoulders, nipped-in waists and voluminous skirts. His new, romantic styles marked a sudden end to the angular, fabric-saving designs that had dominated women's fashion during World War II and in the immediate aftermath. The two outfits below are both designed by Dior, the first in 1953 and called 'James'; and the second in autumn/winter 1957, Dior's last collection, called 'Automne'.
The Christian Dior label continued to prosper after the designer's death in 1957 under the leadership of Yves Saint Laurent from 1958 to 1960. This dress is from YSL's last collection before Marc Bohan took over for a 30 year spell at the House.

Two drunks are driving down the highway, drinking their beer. All of a sudden the driver notices lights flashing in his mirror; the cops are on his tail.
His buddy says, "What are we going to do?"
The driver says, "Don't worry. Just do exactly what I tell you and everything will work out fine. First, peel the labels off our beer bottles and we'll each stick one on our forehead. Then shove the bottles underneath the seat, and let me do the talking."
They pull over and the cop walks up to the car. He looks at them kind of funny, then asks to see the guy's driver's license. And he asks him, "Have you been drinking?"
"Oh, no, sir," the driver replies."
"I noticed you weaving back and forth across the highway. Are you sure you haven't been drinking?" the cop asks.
"Oh, no, sir," the drunk driver answers. "We haven't had a thing to drink tonight."
"Well, I've got to ask you," says the cop, "What on earth are those things on your forehead?"
"That's easy, Officer," says the drunk driver. "You see, we're both alcoholics, and we're on the patch."

(New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony reacts after hitting a three-point shot against the Boston Celtics in the first quarter of Game 1 of NBA playoffs.)
In the beginning of the series the rivalry between the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks appeared to have slowed slightly in light of the bombing at the Boston Marathon. Fans at Madison Square Garden were showing signs that lent support to the victims of the terror attack and a moment of silence was even held for the victims of that fatal day.
Those signs of being human were apparently forgotten by members of the New York Knicks in advance of game 5 of the 1st round of the NBA playoffs. Kenyon Martin reportedly told his teammates after game 4 to wear black in anticipation of the Knicks eliminating the Celtics.
Well that didn't work because the Knicks lost game 5 92-86 and are headed back to Boston for some love from what will be a raucous Boston crowd looking to force the series to a do-or-die game 7.
No pun intended Kenyon.
Honestly though have we really gotten to that point? Are the Knicks that ignorant that they didn't even think of how that might possibly be misconstrued considering the recent events in the city of Boston? Especially for a team that plays for a city all too familiar with such horrible acts. What they did was stupid, inconsiderate and frankly unnecessary. It's the first round gentleman ..wear black when you get into the conference semi-finals, at least then you would have accomplished...well something.

However the tearful father's testimony was interrupted by up to a dozen members of the audience shouting "Second Amendment!", in reference to the clause in the US Constitution that the pro-gun lobby argues enshrines the right to carry arms.
Mr Heslin was "undisturbed" by the interruption, continuing his testimony, according to local media.
Parents of the children who lost their lives when gunman Adam Lanza went on a rampage at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, on December 14 last year were in Hartford yesterday to testify before state lawmakers debating gun control laws.
Lanza killed 20 children and six adults at the school before turning the gun on himself. He also killed his mother before the school massacre.
His use of an AR 15 assault-type rifle and high-capacity ammunition magazines have been at the heart of the contentious debate over gun control.
Mr Heslin told the officials that there was no reason for the military-style assault rifle used to kill the 20 children and six adults at the school, his son among them, to be on sale in the state.
"I still can't see why any civilian, anybody in this room in fact, needs weapons of that sort. You're not going to use them for hunting, even for home protection," Mr Heslin was quoted as saying.
"The sole purpose of those AR-15s or the AK-47 is put a lot of lead out on the battlefield quickly, and that's what they do. And that's what they did at Sandy Hook Elementary on the 14th," he reportedly said.
Saying that he grew up using guns, Mr Heslin, who dropped his son off at the school shortly before Lanza opened fire, said the tragedy "wasn't just a killing, it was a massacre" .
He also spoke of his love for his son. "He was a boy that loved life, lived it to the fullest," he said. "He was my son, he my buddy, he was my best friend, and I never thought I would be here speaking like this, asking for changes on my son's behalf."
The father continued: "And I never thought I would be laying him to rest. The happiest day of my life was the day he was born. He is my only son, my only family. The worst day of my life was the day when this happened."
Mr Heslin's call for tighter gun control was echoed by other Newtown parents as well as others during the public hearing. Gun owners were also given their say, with many arguing for their rights to protect their families with arms.

Dr. Linton Whitaker Receives Prestigious Paul Tessier Medal
Linton Whitaker, M.D., a craniofacial surgeon at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania, was recently awarded the prestigious Paul Tessier Medal during the annual meeting of the International Society of Craniofacial Surgeons in Oxford, England.
One of only two recipients to ever receive the medal
The Paul Tessier Medal is the highest honor awarded in the field of craniofacial surgery, awarded for special contributions to the field. In the Medal's 22-year history, this award had been bestowed only twice. Dr. Whitaker is the second recipient.
"This is truly meaningful because it is the highest level of recognition in the field I helped to build," said Dr. Whitaker. "Children's Hospital has been so special to me and the craniofacial field has been central to my whole life as a surgeon."
The award was given in recognition of Dr. Whitaker's commitment to craniofacial care throughout his entire career. He is renowned for contributions in surgical technique, research and education.
A pioneer in the field of pediatric craniofacial surgery
"Dr. Whitaker is a pioneer in field of craniofacial surgery and conceived that craniofacial surgery could be safely performed on infants and young children and that was instrumental in the evolution of field, said N. Scott Adzick, M.D., surgeon-in-chief at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. "Dr. Whitaker has worked with more than 2,000 pediatric patients since 1972, and I commend him on this great achievement."
Dr. Whitaker is also the author of six textbooks and 222 scientific papers in the field of craniofacial surgery. He has trained 39 craniofacial surgeons who are currently leading many of the premier programs in craniofacial surgery worldwide.
Key to successful craniofacial surgeries at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
"Working at Children's Hospital, I have been fortunate to have a tremendous team of neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists, ophthalmologists, nurses and others to partner with to ensure patient safety and superb outcomes," Whitaker says.

Fundamental Chart
A picture's worth a mountain of numbers– and YCharts' images are excellent for isolating and highlighting a security's key leverage points, liberating them from the rows and columns of numbers and ratios in which they are often buried.
–Barron's Online
Go Beyond The Price
Most charts are focused on price action - which is valuable for certain purposes - but the long-term drivers of business value are fundamentals. What are a company's sales? How efficiently are those sales being converted into cash for shareholders? These are questions that our Fundamental Charts can help to answer with clear and beautiful visuals.
To See the Big Picture
The Fundamental Chart contains more than 4,000 line items and calculations - from PE Ratios to Payout Ratios - which can be combined to present a clear long-term view of a business. Add to that the ability chart information for multiple companies and multiple metrics at the same time, and the power becomes apparent.
And as you find illuminating chart views, YCharts lets you save them for later in just a couple of clicks. Then they will be available to you for future analyses.
With Speed and Simplicity
With a clean, intuitive interface that has been refined over several years, the YCharts Fundamental Chart is a blend of power and speed that cannot be found anywhere else. Thanks to semantic search for both company and metric lookups, you will be amazed at how quickly you can find what you need to see.

TOWN OF BELOIT, Wis. — Federal investigators have joined the search for a 5-day-old infant who disappeared from a bassinette at a home in southern Wisconsin.
The baby's 18-year-old mother called 911 after waking about 4:30 a.m. Thursday to find that her son, Kayden Powell, was missing from his bassinette in a room where she was sleeping at a home in the Town of Beloit, authorities said.
Police said Thursday night that about 40 officers from federal, state and local law enforcement agencies were working on the case, but no suspects have been identified and no arrests made.
The baby's mother, Brianna Marshall, and the infant's 23-year-old father, Bruce Powell, were staying at the house, Town of Beloit Police Chief Steven Kopp said. Investigators were questioning people who were at the house Wednesday night, Kopp told The Janesville Gazette.
Police said the infant's mother and father continue to be cooperative.
A woman who had been at the house but left around 1:30 a.m. Thursday — the last time people at the residence saw the baby — was questioned but is not a suspect in the case, the police chief said.

Before I got my BFP the girls were a little tender and I didn't spot the week before AF like usual. Now that I am preggo I feel fine except I sleep very hard at night. No morning sickness either.
I received my BFP today! So I can finally post here! On 4 DPO my nipples started hurting and a few days later the pain spread to the entire boobie. Bloating happened about 7 DPO, I've been constipated like crazy and I want to eat everything in sight!! I will have a big meal at 7pm, and lay in bed at 11 with my stomach growling. I LOVE every symptom and can't wait for more to come. Oh yeh, and I've been sleeping a ton. Very very tired. No morning sickness yet, not ready for that one.
I had really bad morning sickness...to the point I lost 10 pounds. That was pretty much it. I just got over that a couple of weeks ago.
At 8DPO, I felt mild cramping and started getting heartburn at night. That went on for three nights. At 12DPO, I got my BFP. Fairly quickly (24 hrs), started getting nauseous and tired.
Hungry on the turn of a dime. Can be walking along and then all of a sudden, I HAVE to eat NOW!!!!!!!
Audrey (38) DH (34), Lilly (DD), Logan (DS). Breastfeeding is more than feeding. It is communication between mother and baby. It is a form of nurturing; it is an act of love.
I've got all of those symptoms, i'm two days late and BFN this morning! ARGG!! so frustrating!
im sorry i know this thread is for bfp people!! but i would like to ask if anyone had cramps just like before af before they got their bfp:crying:? i have had them for 3 days now, am 11dpo and ttc. i always have them the day before af but never this long. am due to poas on sat which will be cd32 and 14dpo. my cycles are a little irregular, from 28 - 32 days. my only other symptom is creamy discharge, sorry tmi. thanks for any replies from those who have been there but i cant get answers to this on ttc.:crying:
Well I didn't have the common symptoms such as sore boobs or nausea but I did have brown spotting/discharge around the time Af was due and really bad gas and bloating. I also had a dream that I took a test and got a BFP and as soon as I woke up I tested and got a BFP!
First Pregnancy: My cycles were so screwed up that I was having anywhere from 30-90 day cycles. But anyways, first I had light headed/dizziness the 1st week of symptoms, the 2nd week of symptoms i added headaches to that, the 3rd week cramping was added to that, and the 4th week of symptoms, sore breasts were added to that, and I hadn't had my period, but didn't know when to expect it anyways. I started taking tests during the 2nd week, up until the 4th week, and all were negative. I went to the doc on the beginning of the 5th week of having these symptoms, and I had a positive test!
This Pregnancy: I had some dizziness, and cramping, before I even missed my period. And then when it was time for my period, I had cramping, like I was going to start my period any minute, and then it didn't come for like 2 days, but I still felt like I was starting any minute, so I took a test, and it was positive!
I just had a 'feeling' that this time was it, along with no AF cramps, a little little spotting, and then came the BB soreness! WOW! ... also headaches very early on and peeing alot..
So, far at 4 weeks--I have been cramping since just a few days after O'ing, tender bbs, hungry more often, a little more tired. Mostly though I just feel like AF is about to arrive. That's how I was with ds too.
Jennifer (28), DH Stephen (36), DS Caleb (3 on 11/11) and DS Nathan born 11/25/08
Congrats to everyone!!!
It might take me a min to get to the point... but I thought I'd share
I woke up on 3/14 and thought- "Wow, I'm sooo thirsty!"- that's unusual for me.. That day ended up being a really long day, and I was wiped. AF was due any day, but i felt different... no AF symptoms, so I bought a box of 3 tests and took one. It was BFN... So Saturday when I woke up late in the morning (which is not to terribly normal) I decided that maybe I should take another. This time I had taken the test and got into the shower... when I got out, there was a VERY faint 2nd line... I thought maybe i had waited too long to read the test and decided to take the last test that evening... same thing happened- very faint 2nd line, but this time I watched it develop. Well, I still was not satisfied with that so I went and purchased an EPT digital test. On Sunday morning, I took the test, and watched this one as well... it blinked for about 30 sec and "Pregnant" popped up... my reaction- "NO WaY".... Since then, I have had serious thirst issues (I apparently did not drink enough water before), which makes me pee all of the time!!! Things like POP, and anything fried do not even sound good anymore... although fruit doesn't either. Boobs are sore on the outsides- near armpits, and nipples feel very strange... not really sore, but funny sensations- very sensitive. Sensitive to smells- but not too much. No bleeding or spotting at all... I am just starting to get some low back achiness, and some bloating type feelings- I think that has a lot to do with my digestive tract adjusting to the new balance of hormones... Also, I have been much more regular... which is kinda backwards from some of the others here... Sorry to blab so much here, I guess my point is that everyone is so different... But I know that I'm happy to have any symptoms!! Bring on the baby!! hehe
My first clue was when I got carsick. I've never had a problem with motion sickness. Then, of course, my period was late. The morning sickness was the worst though. I lost almost 20 lbs my first trimester.
What is DPO? How do you figure it out?
My SENSE OF SMELL increased sooo much! I swore I had special powers! But sometimes the smells bothered me causing MAJOR sickness. It was awful!
Kayden Daniel Profico. My little Booger Boo!!!
extremely tired.... sleepy, a lot of backache, forgetful, my husband kept saying i looked different, and i had a "feeling", my boobs are extremely sore too.
i really think you should do a home preganncy test.....
I was feeling very tired.. mostly in the afternoon and it was (still is) very difficult to get up in the morning, my breasts were very sore but that has always been normal before my period, so i didnt pay much attention to it, oh and constipation, i have the feeling that some of the cramping is because of the constipation. I cant wait for my next Docs appt on the 16th!!!!!
I had unusually sore breasts (think premenstrual times 3), craved a lot of dairy and vegetables and had a little nausea.
My symptoms started about one week after I ovulated. I was having cramps that didn't feel normal to me. My left boob was sore close to the armpit. I had headaches that lasted four or five days. I felt sick to my stomach but ifI ate something I was ok. On the day that I was supposed to start AF I took a test and it came up positive right away!!:yeehaw:
DH 29, Me 27,DD 01/24/05 DS 12/15/08
Married March 8th, 2008
- Sudden aversion to bananas. Before, I was neither here nor there on them, but now I hate them!
- Sore BBs. Tried sleeping on my tummy last night and couldn't do it.
- Pinch-y feeling in right lower abdomen, but I'd had that before AF before
- Very acute sense of smell
- No morning sickness yet; I just feel....weird. No nausea, pain, or dizziness, but like my body is thinking about feeling one or all of those.
- S l e e p y, esp. in the afternoons
- Super cranky last week, week 4. Sorry, darling husband!
- Eating a TON of spicy food, and tolerating it much better than normal
I actually didn't have any noticable symptoms, that made me think anything. My breasts were sore for months before that and I just attributed that to having my IUD taken out then taking birth control, then going off birth control. Just wacky hormones. My funny story is that we were at the dollar store, and my mom was joking around about getting a preg test (my hubby and I werent taking any precautions not to get pg) and I told herno because I didnt think they would work and I was embarassed. Well anyways she put two in my cart and when we got home just to humor her, I said I am going upstairs to take this dumb test just to make you happy. Well I went upstairs seriously not even thinking that it would be positive because I had taken a few in the previous months. Well as soon as I dipped that thing it didnt waste any time in saying positive. I was yelling "mom, i need your help!!' This thing says positive! I called my MW right away and was talking so fast. Anyways long story short, I went the next morning and it was positive. YEAH
Hi everyone! I've just recently had my BFP; I have almost zero symptoms right now,.
AF was about 2 days late and the morning I tested, my temp was the highest I've had in almost 4 months (so I knew then it would be positive!). Prior to this I would have bet $$ that AF was coming; I was checking every half hour.
No m/s (yet), dizzy at times, hungrier, napping more. But I can't get DH to believe the tired symptom because I already ahd a habit of falling asleep on the couch! Just that now, I can hardly even wake up to go to bed! And it starts earlier, like 9:30pm! I've had a few little pains in my abdomen now and then; that's all so far! Oh, and some more creamy CM.
I had really sore breast an nipples. Now my breast are just really swollen and just sore on the outside by my armpits. I have been having cramping on and off since I got a BFP. I have also had light brown spotting ever since but it is getting lighter and lighter. Then yesterday m/s started, I was sick all day. I really hope it doesn't get too bad! :X
But like all of you I am happy to have any and all symptoms! They are for a VERY good reason!!!
It's a girl!
Well, I have much of the same as most, so I thought I'd add the one hasn't been mentioned yet ...
My cat now believes I'm his personal heating pad.
I'm working on patience as fast as I can.
Due 1/1/2009 ~ It's a girl!

We did know that Volkswagen was going to unveil its new roadster in Detroit , but we didn't know it would show up as a diesel.
The Concept BlueSport is powered by a mid-mounted 177 hp 2.0-liter Clean Diesel (TDI) with common rail injection engine. VW says that it can make the 0 to 60 mph sprint in 6.6 seconds and tops out at 140 mph, all while getting 55 mpg. The engine is mated to a a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox mounted closer to the front of the car, which gives it a 45:55 front-to-rear weight distribution.
The concept is has some fun stuff like bi-xenon LED headlights outside and a touch screen command center inside. This all comes in a package that weights only 2645 lbs.
While everything about this car seems attractive except for possible the oil-burner engine, remember this is just a concept. When the production car shows up we expect it to keep the good points such as the mid-engine layout, almost even weight distribution, and lightweight design. We also expect to see some gasoline engines from the VW parts bin available on the production roadster.
Press release after the jump.

Maximum driving fun with minimal fuel consumption: This is the standard by which Volkswagen is starting the new car year 2009 and is presenting the roadster Concept BlueSport at the North American International Auto Show. "The BlueSport proves to be a compact and passionate car with a clear Volkswagen signature. The car offers pure dynamics with a powerful 180 PS Clean Diesel engine that is combined with the characteristic Volkswagen philosophy of efficiency," confirmed Volkswagen's Chairman of the Board, Prof. Martin Winterkorn in Detroit.
The Concept BlueSport is making its appearance at the car show in Detroit with a Flex Silver exterior and orange fabric convertible top. "It is the symbiosis of outstanding technology and timeless Volkswagen design that makes this car an exceptional sports car. Its styling is clear and is reduced to the essentials; the car body itself has a lean and linear structure", explains Volkswagen chief designer Walter de Silva. The interior shows finesse in details and conveys a high level of technological fascination. Immediately visible to the eye is the intuitive and easy to operate touchscreen. Perfectly adapted to the interior are the leather upholstered seats in lightweight construction with their single-piece seatbacks.
Behind the two sport seats of the 3.99 meter long Concept BlueSport, a 132 kW / 180 PS strong Clean Diesel (TDI) with common rail injection and downstream NOx storage catalytic converter delivers dynamic performance. A 6-speed DSG dual clutch transmission – the most economical and agile transmission system in the world – transfers power to the rear wheels. In just 6.6 seconds the sports car is moving at 100 km/h; its top speed is 226 km/h. Also having a positive impact on the car's low fuel consumption of just 4.3 l/100 km and reduced emissions are two technologies that are part of the so-called Eco mode: an automatic start-stop system and energy regeneration. Together they propel the Concept BlueSport to an additional fuel savings of up to 0.2 liter per 100 kilometers in city driving.


text: Cable Coil is formed from a series of concentric, circular loops, characteristic of the African art that influenced early 20th century sculpture. During David Yurman's apprenticeship with modernist sculptor Jacques Lipchitz, he became fascinated with these simple motifs. This elemental design is reminiscent of a coiled snake biting its tail and symbolizes the human connection to the earth and its natural cycles.

Most of our Fine Art photographic prints are available in larger sizes. Just ask!
Vintage ceramic and plastic mugs were produced for what might be considered the "better" shows during the eighties and were handed out to artists and VIPs as mementos of the event. These items, few in number but huge in nostalgia, were produced and labeled with the event's particulars and were never intended for the fans, distributed or sold.

"I dream my painting and then paint my dream." - Vincent Van Gogh
Dear Lauri,
Last night I had a dream that it was snowing really bad out... so a co-worker friend of mine and I stole a police car from the side of the road to get to work. Bizarre! - Ben 34, Sheboygan, WI
Lauri: Have you grown cold towards something or someone? Or has someone been giving you the cold shoulder and freezing you out? The police car suggests you may want to right the wrong you are feeling but are trying or hoping to do it the easy way, since you stole the thing. It was also on the side of the road, which tells me that you may be feeling that you have been pushed aside AND frozen out by someone. As unjust as it may seem, I think your dream is telling you the right thing to do is try to get things back on track and moving forward again.
Ben Replies: This makes a lot of sense! A very good friend of mine just stopped talking to me out of nowhere after his wife cheated on him and got pregnant. I'm not sure what the wrong was that I did though.
Fascinating Dream Fact:
The European Science Foundation has found similarities in brain activity during lucid dreaming (being aware that you are dreaming while in the dream state) and psychosis suggest that dream therapy may be useful in psychiatric treatment. This is strengthened by the potential evolutionary relationship between dreams and psychosis.

Had this wine (first time) with dinner last night, very nice.
Herzog, Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley 2008: Dark garnet, medium to full-bodied but concentrated enough, ripe and fresh red and black fruit on the nose as well as vanilla. On the palate this fruit-forward wine provides an array of forest berries with plenty of black and red currants as well as black cherries and blackberries, sweet oak, good acidity and a nice show of vanilla, dark chocolate and coffee with soft tannins leading to a long and round mouth-filling finish. A little bit on the sweet side but I liked it very much and it paired well with a rare cooked sirloin steak.

Tel Aviv, Israel
The concept of MeDusa came to life in 2009, when Israeli designers Gili Rozin Tamam and Adi Gal searched for a way to bring innovative textiles into the fashion and accessories industry. They were driven by the desire to create something completely new in the fashion accessory market, to take a relatively well-known material and use it in a groundbreaking and innovative way.
Immediately drawn to the unique look that resulted from sculpting a compound of industrial plastic in vibrant hues, the designers found the basis to their signature style of bags, purses, and clutches. MeDusa seamlessly blends vintage shapes with modern textures, designing contemporary urban styles with a knack for the edgy details. Beyond style, MeDusa takes pride in the fact that all its designs are cruelty-free, eco-friendly, and incredibly durable. Named after the infamous Greek deity, and the Hebrew word for "jellyfish", MeDusa is dominantly influenced by the all the beautiful colors and patterns found in sea life.Read less

"We're preparing unfortunately for what may come," Jeffrey Lamarand said Wednesday.Jail is real possibility the Taylor mayor. If Lamarand doesn't follow a judge's order to accept an $8.1 million federal SAFER grant that would bring back 32 laid off firefighters, on Friday he's expected to be held in contempt."Basically what I'm being asked to do is to comply with this order, sign off on the insurance and say, 'Sure, maybe we can cover all the costs. I'll sign off on it even though I don't think that we can.'""This mayor blatantly disregards any resolution, any court order, and our health and well-being is in jeopardy here," said Paul Battistone."It's not about the acronym SAFER. It's about money and what can they politically do to insult the mayor. So, therefore, I'm opposed to it until they find out more," said Roseanna Hammons.A divisive issue that became even more of a politically fueled battle after the Taylor City Council passed a resolution forcing the mayor to accept the SAFER grant. Lamarand fought it, but a Wayne County Circuit Court judge ruled in favor of the council."I have no interest in him going to jail. The only thing I'm interested in is the safety of 63,000 residents in this town. If he decides that he wants to be a martyr, I would recommend that he become a martyr for the good of all the people of the town, not for a political cause," said Councilman John Delo.Lamarand says he's trying to protect your tax dollars, worried about what the grant doesn't cover like pensions and healthcare and what it will cost down the road. His critics are concerned about the here and now, your safety and longer response times and lower staffing levels.Even with the recent rehires, Taylor has only 27 firefighters. Before the cutbacks and privatization of EMS, there were 60 firefighters on staff.We're told there are some last minute negotiations if the laid off firefighters are willing to give up more contractually. Taking away the financial burden for the city, the mayor would be willing to take the grant, but until then, he plans to fight it, even if it means going to jail."I think what's really been lost is as an administration, we're being stripped of the ability to do our job," said Lamarand.Since the mayor did not meet the 24 hour deadline that the judge set, we're told he's expected to face that judge on Friday.
UPDATE: Fox 2 has learned Mayor Lamarand has decided to accept the SAFER grant on Friday.

Product Description
We now offer Titanium guitar picks in 3 designs. These picks, crafted from Aerospace grade 6AL 4V Titanium in .020 and .030 thickness are built to last forever. I guarantee you will either lose it or have it stolen before you ever wear one out. I made the first one about a year ago and I've been using them ever since. The attack from a titanium pick is immediate and bright, yet they are almost silent compared to other picks. There is almost no clack or click as the pick hits the string. All you hear is the sound of the string. There is no transfer of material (plastic) onto or into the strings so they stay bright and resonant from the day you put them on till the day you change them.
If you've always used conventional picks, the first time you put a titanium pick to your strings you'll feel and hear the difference. And, on top of that, they're very cool. We offer them in one size, the standard Fender or Dunlop size, and in plain, the stylized Emerson E (The Emerson Custom Guitar Logo) and the famous Emerson Lethal Edge Skull.
If you want a true "Hard Use" pick, these are for you.

CHICAGO Federal laws override an Alabama law regulating the securement of metal coils on trucks, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has ruled.
"FMCSA has determined there is insufficient support for the claimed safety benefits and that the (Alabama law) places an unreasonable burden on interstate commerce," according to the decision published March 5 in the Federal Register. "The ripple effect of the (law) in imposing both potential burdens and costs beyond dedicated metal-coil transporters is extensive." The ruling goes into effect April 4.....

Hi, and welcome to my page! My name is Janet, and I've been cosplaying actively since December of 2003. I was born and raised in Philadelphia, and moved to Orlando, FL when I was 21. I live here with my boyfriend of ten wonderful years, Chris - you can check his page out on ACE, username Himura!
I have a career in telecomm and am a self-taught seamstress and costumer. I will only cosplay as my favorite characters from the series I am a fan of, since the most important aspect for me is to enjoy myself and have fun with a character that I love. It's all about the fandom, and bringing that character to life! I am an avid fan of old school series, especially.
I hope to see you all at a con sometime! I'm friendly (albeit a bit shy!) and love to meet new people, especially those with similar interests! I feel blessed to have made so many amazing friends through this hobby. My biggest fandoms include anything TEAM ICO (ICO, Shadow of the Colossus, and the coming Last Guardian - so much extra emphasis on TEAM ICO because I adore them beyond words), Slayers, Shaman King, Vampire Hunter D, Yu Yu Hakusho, The Legend of Zelda, Chrono Cross/Trigger, NiGHTS, Berserk, the works of Leiji Matsumoto, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

(a) Any person who knowingly constructs or finances the construction of a tunnel or subterranean passage that crosses the international border between the United States and another country, other than a lawfully authorized tunnel or passage known to the Secretary of Homeland Security and subject to inspection by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, shall be fined under this title and imprisoned for not more than 20 years.
(b) Any person who knows or recklessly disregards the construction or use of a tunnel or passage described in subsection (a) on land that the person owns or controls shall be fined under this title and imprisoned for not more than 10 years.
(c) Any person who uses a tunnel or passage described in subsection (a) to unlawfully smuggle an alien, goods (in violation of section 545), controlled substances, weapons of mass destruction (including biological weapons), or a member of a terrorist organization (as defined in section 2339B (g)(6)) shall be subject to a maximum term of imprisonment that is twice the maximum term of imprisonment that would have otherwise been applicable had the unlawful activity not made use of such a tunnel or passage.
Source(Added Pub. L. 109–295, title V, § 551(a),Oct. 4, 2006, 120 Stat. 1389, § 554; renumbered § 555,Pub. L. 110–161, div. E, title V, § 553(a)(1),Dec. 26, 2007, 121 Stat. 2082; amended Pub. L. 112–127, § 3,June 5, 2012, 126 Stat. 371.)

"(1) Trafficking and smuggling organizations are intensifying their efforts to enter the United States through tunnels and other subterranean passages between Mexico and the United States.

"(3) From Fiscal Year 1990 to Fiscal Year 2011, law enforcement authorities discovered 149 cross-border tunnels along the border between Mexico and the United States, 139 of which have been discovered since Fiscal Year 2001.

Must read: Report on police shootings of dogs.
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Submitted by Kathrine Konetz... | July 22 2009 | Permalink
Obviously one hates to hear of anyone's dog being shot by a police officer, and it should never happen unless the officer's life is truly in danger. But my comment has more to do with the caption of the photo of the chihuahua that accompanies the piece. It says "Police officers EVEN shot a chihuahua in the line of duty". This strikes me as kind of an ironic thing to say, considering in another blog posted just a few days ago, we were asked to discuss the governor of New York's (apparently) vicious Maltese, who's already bitten two people. Anything that supports the idea that little dogs are excused for being vicious based on their size just perpetuates the breed specific hysteria that swirls around anything "pitbull". And it's a trap that we all can fall into easily. I mean, honestly, what are the chances that a chihuahua could do any real damage to a big, strapping police officer? However, little dogs who bite are just as much a menace as their larger counterparts and should be held just as accountable for their actions (or, their owners should be). The caption just struck me as reinforcing an idea that's run it's course. No disprespect meant.

While you make a good point that even little dogs can be aggressive and dangerous, it does seem pretty unreasonable to shoot a chihuahua. Unless its foaming at the mouth or something, there really isn't any reason why an officer couldn't you know, call animal control in since they are actually trained to deal with aggressive animals. And the chihuahua in question was actually on his own porch when officers tried grab it. Yeah the dog did bite them but I think the bigger issue was really that animal control was never called to take care of it. If the police aren't going to be trained on appropriate and safe ways to contain a dog they have no business trying to do it when there are trained people who can.
But that's really the problem all around, regardless of the dog's size.

This sounds more like a Police problem thna a dog problem.
The Police Force of whichever State this is happening in needs a BIG shakeup.

There was a time when police officers where there to serve and protect. It seems that time is over; ego and a war-like mind set have taken over. A few years ago a police officer pulled over a vehicle thinking it belonged to a felon. Instead, it was a family on vacation. The car door was open and their dog got out. It was standing on the side of the road doing nothing more than wagging it's tail when the officer shot it dead.
The senseless killing family pets, with no consequence to the offending officer, needs to be addressed on a national level, perhaps with a bill spearheaded by HSUS or the ASPCA. Whether the dog is large or small, killing someone's pet is wrong, unless it is absolutely necessary for the safety of the officer or bystanders.

Max was a wonderful Pitt Bull who loved his Bob the builder blanket and sunglasses.
