The BMW 3 Series is a family of sporty sedans and wagons sized at what would be considered a compact car in the U.S. The 2018 BMW 3 Series sedans, Sports Wagon, and Gran Turismo models are built on a platform that made its debut with the 2012 model. Across its entire lineup, the 3 Series models stand out for being athletic, responsive and fun to drive, as well as relatively fuel-efficient. The F30 redesign brought more back-seat space and cargo space to sedans, as well as a more sophisticated and isolated ride. M3 models, meanwhile, continue to be one of the most practical high-performance cars on the market.
Compare the 2018 BMW 3 Series against similar models
The BMW 3-series is mostly unchanged from 2017. New this year are standard LED headlights and a better iDrive system. Some new optional equipment is also new this year, including a new style of 18-inch jet black, bi-colored wheels. Prices start at under $35,000 for the iconic sports sedan.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.

Below are the available colors for the 2018 BMW 3 Series. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The BMW 3 Series is aging. Rivals such as the Audi A4 and Mercedes C-Class are newer. The only thing new for 2018 for the 3 Series are some changed packages and new colors.
The performance in many configurations still stands out, with three bodies, six engines, two transmissions, and rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive creating no less than 15 models, counting the almighty high-performance M3 (which rates its own review) to the 330e iPerformance plug-in hybrid sedan.
Engines include the high-mileage 328d diesel, 2.0-liter turbo four in the 330 making 248 horsepower, and scorching 3.0-liter turbo six in the 340i making 320 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque. All the engines need premium (or diesel) fuel, even the lowly 180-horsepower engine in the 320i.
When you mix in the different trims, the definition of the 3 Series blurs. For example there's Sport Line for the 328i, 328d, and 340i. There's also an M Sport package, and a Track Handling package with big blue brake calipers.
The all-wheel-drive Gran Turismo is a five-door hatchback that's nearly eight inches longer than the sedan, on a wheelbase that's four inches longer and three inches taller. Creatively, it leads the way in styling, as part crossover, part fastback, and part wagon.
BMW 3 Series models include 320i, 320i xDrive all-wheel drive, 328d, 328d xDrive, 330i, 330i xDrive, 340i, 340i xDrive sedan; also the 330e iPerformance plug-in hybrid sedan, 330i xDrive Gran Turismo, 340i xDrive Gran Turismo, 330i and 328d xDrive wagon, and the M3.
The entry-level 320i gets manual front seats in leatherette upholstery, dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth, 6.5-inch display, and iDrive. Options include wheels, infotainment, heated seats, carbon-fiber rear spoiler, wireless Apple CarPlay, and rearview camera.
The lines are classic and elegant, sharp and expressive, with large headlamps and air intakes and a distinctive rear end. BMW doesn't copy the aero wedge that seems too popular nowadays.
The striking Gran Turismo pushes design in an original direction, as a big hatchback fastback coupe, with a rising beltline that gives it visual rake at the hood. Smoothly, it blends crossover, coupe and wagon.
In the cabin, the 3 Series suffers from its age, when it's compared to high-tech wonders like the Audi A4 and Mercedes C-Class. Depending on the model and trim, the materials will be rich and luxurious or muddled and budget. The standard front seats have decent bolstering and nice leg support, even without being leather; while the flat dashboard features a standing screen that needs new materials.
The 3 Series is as big as it's ever been, but it's still considered a compact car. The back seat squeezes adults, but there's good headroom. There's also good cargo space, with a big trunk of 15.8 cubic feet.
BMWs are known for good handling, so it's no surprise that you get a sharp turn-in, nicely weighted steering, and flat cornering in every type of 3 Series. The old hydraulic power steering gave more feedback than the current electric power steering, but that's true with almost every car, and you can't hold back progress.
The 3 Series also offers a smooth ride, with a suspension that's tuned for run-flat, high-mileage tires. If there are any sharp edges over bumps, it's probably from the tires.
Acceleration-wise, the 320i with its 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo making 180 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque feels weak compared to the others, running from zero to sixty in 7.1 seconds.
The 330i uses the same engine tuned to make much more horsepower and torque, 248hp and 258 lb-ft. And it shows, as the 330i will make the same sprint in 5.5 seconds, and sound better doing it.
The 340i with its 3.0-liter turbo six is way fast and talented, with big torque available at a wide range. We love that it's a classic inline six, not a V6.
The most common transmission in these three models will be a smooth eight-speed automatic, but lo and behold, a six-speed manual remains available. BMW knows its buyers are drivers, and isn't about to let them down, at least not yet. We like to think of ourselves as drivers, but still … the eight-speed automatic is pretty desirable. Its shifts are quick, precise, confident, and correctly timed.
The 328d makes 180 horsepower and another ton of smooth torque, with the standard eight-speed automatic. With its high mileage, its best fit seems to us to be as a family wagon.
The 330e iPerformance plug-in hybrid makes 248 combined horsepower from a 7.6-kwh hour lithium-ion battery and turbo four engine.
The Driving Dynamics Control modes are Eco Pro, Comfort, Sport, and Sport Plus. Sport mode sharpens the steering and transmission, while Sport Plus loosens up the stability control.
There's an optional variable sport steering system that mechanically alters the steering ratio depending on the immediate task, making parking easier and high-speed cornering tighter.
Finally, for more aggressive cornering, the M Sport package lowers the chassis by 0.4 inches, stiffens the springs and shocks, fattens the anti-roll bars, and uses 18- or 19-inch alloys with fat tires. And for the most aggressive cornering, the Track Handling package adds the variable sport steering, adaptive suspension, and bigger brakes with blue calipers.
The BMW 3 Series brings crisp handling and a tight ride. Distinguishing among them, you get adequate acceleration in the base 320i, happier get-up in the 330i, now-we're-talkin' boost in the 340i twin-turbo inline six. These sedans are somewhat dated, but the newer Gran Turismo offers distinctive styling. There's also the options of diesel and plug-in hybrid. So many characters in just one car.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

The establishment press's general refusal to cover clearly newsworthy developments in the Obama administration scandal involving the targeting of conservative, tea party, prolife and other groups by the Internal Revenue Service has been so negligent and blatant that several leading conservatives, including the MRC's Brent Bozell and talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh, called it out in an open letter earlier this week.
Consistent with the rest of their colleagues, the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, appears to have had no substantive story on the scandal since July 18 -- and that one was about primarily Democrats beating the false meme that progressive groups were supposedly targeted similarly. The AP's negligence extends to the tax agency's shocking level of non-cooperation with House Ways & Means Committee investigators, as will be seen after the jump.
Yesterday, committee Chairman Dave Camp issued a press release, coming within inches of directly accusing the agency of obstruction of justice (HT Rare via TaxProf):
A Google News search at 4:30 p.m. on Camp's full name in quotes reveals that only the Hill has any coverage of the IRS's failure to comply with document requests -- and that report by Bernie Becker is quite sugar-coated:
Camp, Levin press IRS for more documents
Top tax writers in the House are pressing the IRS over what they're calling the slow delivery of documents on the current targeting controversy.
Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) and the panel's top Democrat, Rep. Sandy Levin, noted in a Wednesday letter that the committee had received about 13,000 pages of documents for its investigation, more than two months after its first request.
The IRS had said back in June that it had collected some 65 million pages worth of documents, leading Camp and Levin to ask Wednesday what the agency was doing to expedite the committee's request.
"We are concerned that, at this rate, the full production will take months," Camp and Levin wrote to Danny Werfel, the interim IRS leader.
Becker acts as if there's some legitimate debate as to whether 13,000 documents of 65 million supplied in two months is "slow." At that rate, it will take 416 years for the IRS to turn everything over.
If the George W. Bush administration had exhibited similar lack of speed during the Joe Wilson-Scooter Libby non-scandal I prefer to call Nadagate, you can be assured that the establishment press would have been all over it. But now, it's crickets, and as Bozell, Limbaugh and others asserted in their letter, it's disgraceful.

The transboundary serial nomination of 13 component parts is a large-scale example of a decentralised mining landscape in a Central European mountain region that lies in the southeast of Germany and extends to the Czech Republic – the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains).
The Mining Cultural Landscape Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří illustrates the formative influence of mining and metallurgy on the development of the landscape and its culture in an exceptional way. For more than 800 years, from the 12th to the 21th century, the region was actively shaped by mining activities. First silver and tin ores and later other ores such as lead, iron, cobalt, nickel, uranium, bismuth, tungsten, and zinc were mined, smelted and partially processed. Based on mining and metallurgy, the "industrialization" of the region took place in different historical stages.
The component parts of the serial nomination are composed of carefully selected historical witnesses including protected mines and associated over- and underground ensembles, historically distinct landscape features such as pits, heaps, dewatering channels and reservoirs, mining towns and settlements, and other important social buildings related to mining towns and settlements. These witnesses are not limited to work process related issues but particularly include witnesses of the economic, scientific, cultural, and social influences of mining and metallurgy.
Together the component parts provide a lively comprehensive insight into all aspects of miner's world.The component parts reflect also the transboundary nature of the Bohemian and Saxon Erzgebirge. The serial
property has to be understood as a geographical, historical and cultural unit illustrating both the mining activities and the interaction between two communities which shared a long common history. Mining and metallurgy had formed an important and worldwide recognised trade and economic region which is still today strongly influenced by its mining traditions. Especially the developments in the field of mining sciences and technologies contributed to the development of other mining regions in Europe and the World.
Description de l'élément/des éléments constitutif(s)
In accordance with the spatial distribution of the numerous significant historic mining districts and their specific features, the serial property Mining Cultural Landscape Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří is represented by a selection of 13 significant separate component parts. The Saxon part will be represented by 8 individual component parts which are representing the layout of the six historical mining districts of the 19th century and the two historically important districts of uranium and coal mining of the 20th century. The Czech Republic is represented by 4 large-scale mining landscapes and a single monument.
The component parts cover a wide temporal and spatial range to fully illustrate the whole development process of the mining landscape and its culture. Each component part features a distinctive character that is composed of three attributes: time depth, diversity of mineral resources, and cultural facets. The cultural facets do not only include work process related issues but also the far-reaching influence of mining activities on seemingly distant areas of life. The individual component parts comprise all witnesses necessary to document their distinctive character on the basis of largely originally preserved valuable monuments and landscapes. Each selected component part represents a different chapter of the history. The individual components are of crucial importance to understand the development process of mining, its global importance and its formative influence from the 12th to the 21st century. They are of exceptional quality and diversity. Viewed as a whole, the components bear witness to the extent of the economic, social and cultural development of the entire mining region and its culture.
For example: The very beginning of the development of the mining landscape is illustrated by the mining district of Freiberg with the mining cities of Freiberg and Brand-Erbisdorf and the surrounding mining landscape. Here in 1168, the silver ore was found for the first time in the Ore Mountains, and the transformation process of the landscape started. The search for silver and other kinds of ore in the rich deposits of the Ore Mountains led to the colonization of the cross border mountain region from both the Saxon and the Bohemian side. During the 15th and 16th century this process reached the upper parts of the Ore Mountains and led to the foundation of a large number of mining cities like Schneeberg, Marienberg and Annaberg in Saxony or Jáchymov in Bohemia with their specific buildings and highly valuable architecture. These cities became centres of unique cultural, economic, technological and scientific development of the mining region in the following centuries. Many of these developments influenced other mining regions worldwide. The temporarily last mining period of the Erzgebirge in the late 20th century – represented by the nominated properties of the mining district Altenberg in the eastern part and in Chemnitz, Schlema, Hartenstein and Jáchymov in the western part of the region – was characterized by tin and uranium mining.
Justification de la Valeur Universelle Exceptionnelle
The transboundary serial nomination Mining Cultural Landscape Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří is an exceptional testimony of a unique landscape and culture which was influenced and shaped by mining activities and their environmental, economic and social impacts. The nominated series represents a Central European economic and cultural unit that has continuously developed since the early Middle Ages. The outstanding universal value particularly results from the unique combination of three determining attributes: an unprecedented diversity of mineral resources, a continuous over 800 years lasting economic, social and cultural development in which mining played constantly a crucial role, as well as a wide spectrum of cultural facets which clearly illustrate all stages of this development. A coherent series of well-preserved monuments, ensembles and landscapes demonstrating different periods of mining, different technological levels as well as different cultural periods represents the development of this Central European mining region of worldwide importance. They do not only illustrate the tangible attributes but also the intangible values which together constitute the distinctive character of the landscape. The almost exclusive formation of the entire region by mining and metallurgy led to worldwide important scientific discoveries and subsequent introduction of many technical and technological innovations, which substantially influenced the worldwide development of mining sciences and contributed significantly to the development of other mining regions in Europe and the rest of the world. Of particular importance and so far unique on the world's scale is the transboundary nature of the nominated property. The mining landscape allows a comprehensive insight into cross-border relations between two states since the 12th century and the visible effects of this interrelation. As a whole, the nominated serial property provides comprehensive knowledge about all aspects of a globally significant mining region and its culture.
Criterion (ii): The Mining Cultural Landscape Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří exhibits an important interchange of human values in the field of mining. As a consequence of more than 800-years of mining activities, a cross-border cultural area between Saxony and Bohemia was created, which is characterized by a unprecedented density of systematically established mining cities and their special architecture, by the development of advanced mining and ore processing technologies, by its great influence on the development of mining- and geo-sciences as well as mining education worldwide, and by its contribution to the development of minting as well as of the currency systems in Europe and in the whole world. The serial property proves interchange and knowledge transfer from the Middle Ages till the 21th century. The influence of mining in the Ore Mountains is provable in a large number of mining centres worldwide.
Criterion (iii): The Mining Cultural Landscape Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří is an outstanding witness of the development of a society which was crucially formed by mining industries. The component parts provide a comprehensive insight into the cultural traditions of a more than 800-year-old mining civilization, which are to a certain extent still alive today, and the working and living conditions of miners and their families. They do not only show a limited period of the development, but illustrate the continuous development of mining and the resulting impacts on society till today.
Criterion (iv): The Ore Mountains are characterized by a multitude of ore and other deposits containing a wide spectrum of mineral resources. Their extraction and processing led in the course of time to the emergence of different mining landscapes with specific types of buildings. These characteristic mining infrastructures illustrate the different ways of exploitation of diverse resources, as well as the development of distinctive technologies and the resulting change of the mining intensity. The technological ensembles and mining landscapes are testimonies of the worldwide important technical and scientific achievements made by mining experts in the Ore Mountains in different mining periods.
Criterion (v): The Mining Cultural Landscape Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří is the result of a long-term formation of a spacious area by human activities, which were focused on ore mining and ore processing, closely connected with social, economic and administrative factors of mining and the way of dealing with the natural conditions of the region. The geological characteristics of the ore deposits have crucially determined the way of dealing with the nature in the work processes of mining and metallurgy. Depending on the level of development of mining technologies in specific time periods, the landscape has changed several times. The traces of these changes can be seen in the landscape till today and represent a source of our present-day knowledge of past mining periods. The component parts reflect the successive stages of the development of mining techniques as well as characteristic forms of mining towns and settlements, the specific land-use shaped by mining, and the evidence of human settlement in specific conditions of upland locations with its direct impacts on landscape and culture.
Criterion (vi): The Mining Cultural Landscape Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří represents a region which is directly associated with the culture of an old mining territory as it is not only perceived in Europe but also elsewhere in the world. The serial property represents a mining region which is in a unique way tied to an identity shaped by long lasting and still ongoing mining. Over centuries these mining activities have generated specific artistic, literary and scientific works as well as unique traditions which are still alive and thoroughly maintained. The history of mining is still a defining part of the collective memory of the people in the region. The global impact of the serial property is further illustrated in the development of mining and geosciences which are tangibly linked to the founding of the first major international and still existing mining academy in the world – the Bergakademie Freiberg (1765). This university has for long served as a worldwide center of training of mining experts, which substantially increased the international scientific prestige of the region in the field of mining. The early scientific examinations made by scholars of the Freiberg Bergakademie led to a series of discoveries and developments in mining and metallurgy which were crucial for the development of modern mining sciences and geosciences. The Erzgebirge is worldwide considered as the cradle of mineralogy and geology as well as temporarily the leading training place for international mining experts. This is extraordinary illustrated by the work "De re metallica" (1556) of the Renaissance scholar Georgius Agricola whose work was mainly inspired by the mining culture of the Ore Mountains.
Déclarations d'authenticité et/ou d'intégrité
The Mining Cultural Landscape Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří is a continuing cultural landscape in which exceptional evidence of past mining activities has survived in a comprehensive way. It is composed of a series of component parts linked together by a common historical narrative. The component parts of the series including well-preserved remains of mining and mining-related activities were carefully selected so that they bear witness to all important milestones in the history of the nominated serial property and to its outstanding universal value. Each part illustrates a different combination of characteristic attributes and thus contributes to the understanding of the whole property. As a living landscape, some areas have experienced new developments, some buildings have been adapted for continued use and some buildings have disappeared in the course of time but the intactness of the landscape and the authenticity of the remaining structures are still outstanding. The areal extent and number of preserved historical mining infrastructure with authentic traces from medieval time onwards is exceptional. The serial property preserved a completely unique and authentic character with clearly evident remains of mining activities. The nominated properties of the series benefit from legal protection.
Justification de la sélection de l'élément/des éléments constitutif(s) en relation avec la future proposition d'inscription dans son ensemble
The spatial arrangement of deposits and historically significant mining areas in the Ore Mountains requires a serial approach. The 13 separate component parts are necessary to illustrate all important characteristics of the mining and cultural landscape in space and time. The nominated properties of the component parts reflect a distinctive combination of specific attributes. Their selection was made in such a way that they cover all a distinctive combination of these attributes and fulfil the criteria of authenticity and integrity. Each component part is telling a peculiar chapter of the origin and development of a coherent mining region. All component parts are culturally, historically, socially and functionally linked. The boundaries of the components were chosen so that the individual objects and ensembles which constitute the component parts display completely and sufficiently all values necessary for the justification of the outstanding universal value. The Mining Culture Landscape Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří thus represents a series of several carefully selected unique locations that cover historically the most significant landscape units and most valuable monuments.
Comparaison avec d'autres biens similaires
The comparison concentrates on the three attributes of the serial property – time depth, diversity of mineral resources and cultural facets – and their distinctive combinations which are characteristic for the individual component parts. It also takes into consideration the specific thematic features of the region like its transboundary nature, which is so far unique in the context of mining world heritage as well as the global influence of the region in the field of mining and geosciences.
Although there are some sites on the World Heritage and National Tentative lists directly associated with mining, most of these sites are not comparable with the nominated property because of their completely different time horizon and their belonging to a different geo-cultural area without any correlation to the Central European mining landscapes. The majority of the compared sites do not document the transformation of a landscape and the evolution of a culture strongly influenced by mining in such a coherent way like the nominated property. Although they document important aspects of mining, they hardly have a comparable range of attributes. The main attribute of most sites is based on a single aspect. Only a small selection of sites such as the network of mining installations in Goslar, Rammelsberg and the Upper Harz region has an almost similar complex approach with differing components. But they differ either in time-scale or in completeness still allowing only a limited insight into the complexity of a mining region.
To summarize, there is no comparable World Heritage Site or otherwise known property providing such a comprehensive insight into a miner´s world like the Mining Cultural Landscape Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří. The nominated serial property is not limited to the technological aspects but also covers social, cultural, economic and environmental aspects. The transformation process of a landscape exclusively formed by mining and its impacts on the environment can be traced here from the very beginning in the 12th up to the 21st century.

The planned alumni football game between Ashbrook and Hunter Huss will definitely happen because plenty of players have registered, the game�s organizer said.
Fifty-five Ashbrook players have committed while Hunter Huss is up to 43.
Among the notable names is former Ashbrook wide receiver Jheranie Boyd, who just completed his senior collegiate season at North Carolina. Another player on the Ashbrook list is Oreon Mayfield (played from 1999 to 2002), the school�s second all-time leading rusher behind Junior Hall.
Among the notable Hunter Huss entries are Lavonte Kendrick (2005 Gazette player of the year); the school�s second and third all-time leading rushers, Johntae Woods (played from 2001 to 2003) and Frank Patterson (1999 to 2001); and Huss� all-time passing leader, Brandon Miller (2003 to 2006).
A date or location for the full-contact game has not been announced but it will take place in March or April. Players can still register at gridironalumni.com. The website also lists the registered players for Ashbrook here and for Hunter Huss here.
The company is also in the earlier stages of planning an alumni football game between East Gaston and South Point. Registration is available here for South Point and here for East Gaston.

Northside coach Tony Marshburn could only shake his head Friday night.
Northside coach Tony Marshburn could only shake his head Friday night.
What else is a coach to do after he sees his team miss all seven of its foul shots in the fourth quarter � in the final 3:19, no less, with the game in the balance that ended going Clinton�s way by a 67-59 count?
�We practice free throws every single night at different intervals. I don�t know how to coach that. I mean I don�t,� Marshburn said. �I�m very unsympathetic about free throws, and the reason being the rim has always been 10 feet high since you�ve been in seventh grade, and the free throw line has always been 15 feet away. Now where�s your work ethic on free throws?�
And, Marshburn agreed, there�s little a coach can do in the middle of the game to improve his team�s foul shooting.
�It�s frustrating to me because we�ve lost two games and both games have been similar,� he added. �Against South Lenoir we were 2 for 10 in the fourth quarter. I just feel like you�ve got to want it more than that. That�s just the bottom line.�
Nerves didn�t seem a factor for the Monarchs (12-2, 4-2 in the East Central Conference), who saw Clinton (11-3, 5-1) make as many foul shots as Northside did while having 10 fewer chances at the foul line.
The foul failure began innocuously enough.
Josh Cabrera, who had 13 points and 11 rebounds, scored to give the Monarchs a 59-57 lead with 3:19 left. He was also fouled, but missed the free throw. After Clinton went up 60-59 on a 3-pointer by Dementio Bryant 14 seconds later, Cabrera was fouled again. This time he missed two free throws with 2:50 left.
But Northside�s Benjamin McCarty grabbed the rebound and Kris Curry was fouled. Curry missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with 2:34 left. Then with 1:44 left he again missed two foul shots. Even then, however, Northside was still only down one point.
After Thaxter Spruill hit a jumper to push the lead to 62-59 with 1:33 left, Cabrera missed the front end of a 1-and-1 9 seconds later. The Dark Horses then sealed the win when Ryan Chester hit a 3-pointer with 1:07 left to push the lead to 65-59.
�It was a lot of fun,� Clinton coach Randy Jordan said. �I�m so glad the people from Clinton and Northside got to see this.�
Foul shots weren�t Northside�s only problems against the speedy and athletic Dark Horses. Clinton consistently beat the Monarchs down court for easy buckets � or bulled inside and down the lane for close looks, which is why it shot 47.4 percent (27 of 57). Northside hit 38.7 percent (24 of 62).
Northside led early behind Jamal Parker, who scored 12 of his 19 points in the first 5:44 as the Monarchs went up 16-9 after a three-point play by their star guard. But the Dark Horses outscored the Monarchs 23-10 in the second quarter � Northside had five turnovers in the quarter and was 4 for 16 from the floor � for a 36-28 halftime lead.
Greg Smith hit two 3-pointers in a 1:17 span in the final two minutes to help spark Clinton.
The Dark Horses pushed their lead to 43-30 on a three-point play by Chester with 5:14 left in the third quarter. At that point, Marshburn had seen enough.
He pulled all five starters, who sat on the bench and watched their backups put together an impressive 12-4 run. Marshburn was poised to return his starters to the floor at one point but decided he liked what he saw from his reserves and left them in for the rest of the quarter, which ended with the Monarchs down only 47-42.
�First two or three possessions to start the second half they were in la-la land,� Marshburn said of his starters, who obviously got the message and continued the rally when they returned, tying it at 47, 49 and 51 before taking the lead on Cabrera�s bucket with 5:19 left.
But the rally fell apart at the foul line.
�At the end I thought it was anybody�s ballgame, and we didn�t hit our free throws,� Marshburn said. �But they made the plays at the end to win and we didn�t. You�ve got to want it a little bit more than that, especially in a big game like tonight. You�ve just got to dig a little deeper at the foul line.�
Northside 48, Clinton 43 OT: Ashanti Curry scored the first six points of overtime and finished with a team-high 19 as Northside handed Clinton its first ECC loss and forged a four-way tie atop the league.
The Monarchs (12-3) and Clinton (12-4) are 5-1 along with East Duplin and South Lenoir.
�We needed this one to get back in the mix for the conference,� first-year coach Chad Novelli said. �These girls once proved their resiliency, but we needed this one because we�ve still got to go there (to Clinton) and there are good teams in our conference.
�But to give up the lead and be able to come back because once you lose that momentum you get scared that you�re just going to kind of fold. But they just don�t fold.�
Northside led 32-21 with 6:07 left in he game after two foul shots by Erin Bowerman and looked in command only to see the Dark Horses rally, putting together a 10-1 to tie it at 37-37 with 49.7 seconds on a drive down the middle of the lane by Kristen Glasper, who finished with 20 points.
After Curry hit two foul shots with 23.8 seconds left, Glasper countered with two of her own with 9.5 seconds to force overtime after Curry�s desperation shot out of the corner at the buzzer didn�t draw iron.
But Curry led the way in the four-minute overtime, hitting two foul shots and then two straight drives to give Northside a 45-41 lead. Clinton pulled within two points, but Lizzie Perez nailed a 3-pointer with about 1 second left to clinch the win.
�That was a roller coaster of emotions in a very short amount of time,� Novelli said. �But we stopped them at the right time.�

Preserve their most sacred beliefs into modern times. In Maya Cosmos, the authors draw upon translations of sacred texts and histories spanning thousands of years to tell us a story of the Maya, not in our words but in theirs. At the heart of this extraordinary world was the myth of Creation, as enduring and persuasive as any from the Old World. Recorded in stone texts and illustrated on pottery vessels, in books, and in stone at many ancient sites is the narrative of.
The Maize God and his children as they confront the Lords of Death in the Otherworld called Xibalba. The authors reveal the myth in its ancient form, not as a quaint story for children but as a map of the sky with the actions of the gods revealed in the movements of the Milky Way and the stars. They investigate the myth as the basis of government and the symbolism of political power, as a description of the daily lives of common people as they planted their fields of.
Corn and cooked food for their children, as instructions for the afterlife and resurrection of the soul, and as the lesson at the heart of the famous Maya ballgame. Maya Cosmos takes this Creation myth from its first expression three thousand years ago by the Olmecs, the first civilization in Central America, to its living expression in a Ch'a-Chak ceremony held in Yukatan a few years ago. As an archaeologist, David Freidel shows how using the myth and understanding its.
Effect on the artifacts and architecture created by the ancients help explain what we excavate from the ground. As an epigrapher and iconographer, Linda Schele reads the texts and scenes that preserve the myth for the modern world. Between them, the cosmos of the ancient Maya comes to life and reveals the core of one of the greatest traditions of religious thought known from the ancient world. However, the great contribution of Maya Cosmos comes in the connections it.
Makes between the ancient and the modern Maya. Neither the Maya nor their religion is dead. Invited into their world by the Maya themselves, Freidel and Schele convey their personal experiences. You will stand beside David as his friend Don Pablo prays for rain in a Ch'a-Chak ceremony in Yukatan. Linda takes you to a divination ceremony in Chichicastenango and to the church where she receives the blessing and protection of a powerful Aj Q'ij. Maya Cosmos tells us about.
One of the greatest, most enduring, and least-known religious traditions in human history. It reveals the extraordinary richness of this religion as well as the contributions it can make to humanity at large during the coming centuries.

I'm sure at this point most of you are aware of Romney's "binders full of women" comment in the second presidential debate. I'm actually a little surprised that this topic hasn't come up here yet.
I'm curious, what do you all think of this comment? Was it just a bad choice of words? Was it indicative of deeper feelings Romney has toward women? Was it indicative of something else? Is it even a comment worth discussing and/or making a big deal out of it? How do you personally feel about the comment? Do you think it will affect how anyone votes in November?
You could always google the phrase "Binders full of women" or here's a link for a little background info: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/oct/17/romney-binders-full-of-...
And here's a link for entertainment: http://bindersfullofwomen.tumblr.com/
Views: 817
Full disclosure: I don't identify as Dem or Rep, and I have already voted for Obama.
I believe that this comment, like others, is indicative of Romney's ignorance regarding anyone who is not a rich, white male. More concerning than his ignorance, for he did not choose to be born a rich, white male, is his complete lack of effort or desire to understand and address the issue.
During the debate, Romney mentioned women several times. However, these comments appeared awkward and out of place. In my opinion, it's likely that Romney was given several talking points about women to plug during the debate. I say this, because he did not take care to consider how he might best convey these points to a group of people that are often overlooked and pigeonholed. While his comments regarding women were not always as ridiculously humorous as, "binders full of women,", they all felt (to me) self-centered and callous. I cannot recall one comment that conveyed a deeper understanding of the blind bias that grips this nation (and others) with regard to any marginalized group, and that includes women (if you have evidence or opinion to the contrary regarding Romney's comments, please enlighten me, for I am not currently staring at a transcript but merely reflecting upon the memory of the previous night which is hardly an objective process).
Will this affect the vote in November? It's my understanding that Obama carried the majority of women voters up to the second debate. Will these comments help Romney gain ground with women? I'd be shocked if they did. Could he lose some votes? Sure. Will he lose enough votes for it to effect the election in a significant way in November? I doubt it.
How many Mormon elders who are women can you count on the fingers of your left hand?
On your left amputated hand.
Coming from a man whose own religion until recently supported the concept and practice of polygamy I would venture to say that Mr. Romney still thinks a woman's place is assuming the role of housemaid and popping out babies. His patronizing attitude surfaces despite his best efforts to keep it out of sight. I would wager that if Utah still had the freedom to practice polygamy that Ann would be sharing her husband's bed.
If Clinton had said this would we be more or less concerned?
There was recently a very funny atheist joke posted on one of the blogs at TA.
That's great! Just look at Obama's face, that says it all --!
"Aw geez, Bill, NOW?"
@ Jessica - he is also robotic - he would have learned to control real emotion from indoctrination from the year he was born - that is how it works - he has opened up his brain by these off the cuff remarks - from he doesn't care about the 47% etc, then say the 50% of women, he cheesed off the Mayor of London, his reputation for gaffs is catching up to George W. already. What does that say about xian Republicans? He wouldn't know anything about the American people.
Just thinking of Romney performing Devo's Whip It.
Like most people in power, he could maybe 'do the right thing', just by accident? The Public TV and Big Bird comment has galvanized the base for donations to this worthy cause! On my FB page I did suggest that maybe Romney is on the OPB marketing payroll?

Drones are like guns: It just depends on how they're used
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles – commonly refered to as drones – has become an emotional issue, closely bound up with people's feelings about foreign policy, war and personal privacy.
It's clear that those feelings are hovering over the recent news that local officials are backing a bid to make northern Michigan a hub for UAV development. Officials have high hopes for the Michigan Advanced Aerial System Consortium. If the state's bid is successful, an area including Sawyer International Airport could become a prime national test and industrial center for drones. If that happens, some of the projects, technological development and investments land at Sawyer.
The consortium, launched last month downstate, is involving elected officials, government agencies, academia and industry.
Our area boasts several advantages which may help in attracting the drone center. Advanced radar systems at some regional airports, along with proximity to Canada and international testing opportunities are positives. A diverse climate, a mix of rural and urban areas and large bodies of water are other reasons the area may be desirable.
We think the drone initiative could be an opportunity for the region to get in on the early stages of what could grow into an important industry. Officials noted the U.S. Department of Defense budget includes $6 billion for unmanned aerial systems.
With potential investments like that at stake, we need to separate the development of drone technology from the argument over how it is used.
Revelations of ever-increasing government surveillance and intrusion into our personal lives worry us, but we understand drone technology isn't inherently scary or evil. Among the potential Upper Peninsula uses of drones which shouldn't trigger concerns over privacy would be security monitoring for the mining industry and mapping or surveying applications for the timber industry.
If the consortium bid succeeds, it doesn't mean more drones will be used for surveillance in the U.P., only that research and development on a range of new technologies may be based in our area.
That research is bound to happen. Why not conduct it here?

Rupert Murdoch Admits Defeat: Now Wants London Times To Appear In Search Results
from the nobody-predicted-that dept
Remember back in 2009, when Techdirt reported that Rupert Murdoch hated Google so much he had decided to block the search engine from indexing his titles, even though this would inevitably cut down their visibility and online traffic? He obviously thought that he would put this upstart technology in its place, showing that mighty media moguls don't need this Internet thing in order to flourish just like they did 50 years ago. According to this story in paidContent, it seems that strategy hasn't worked out too well:
In the next few weeks, paidContent understands The Times' website will begin showing articles' first two sentences to search engines, in a marketing exercise designed to attract new subscribers.
This shows that Murdoch has finally realized that being left out of Google is the online equivalent of not being listed in telephone directories in earlier times. It also suggests that attempts to gain subscribers for the online edition in other ways are not going so swimmingly, which must raise questions over the long-term viability of the paywalled approach for this title.
The limited free preview does not alter News International's belief that it should continue charging for The Times (visitors will be invited to subscribe to read full articles). But it does suggest that, having signed up 130,751 digital subscribers since mid-2010, the publisher is having to look in new places to maintain customer acquisition momentum.
Murdoch's move comes at an interesting time for the newspaper industry in Germany. As we discussed recently, a law currently being considered there would require snippets to be licensed and paid for on the basis that search engines are gaining a benefit from even these short extracts. By allowing his title to be indexed and short excerpts to be displayed for free, Murdoch is essentially admitting that the marketing value of snippets to him outweighs any nominal loss due to Google's supposed free-riding -- as Techdirt suggested -- thus undermining the supposed justification for the German proposal.

Air source heat pump boilers have been blamed for problems at a flagship eco-homes scheme in Bradford which has been criticised for its high levels of energy consumption
Residents at the £5.6million Pavilion Gardens development of 45 eco-homes have complained of huge bills - up to £1,600 in just six months.
Energy bills published in the Daily Mail and Telegraph and Argus show electricity usage of 7,264kWh per year. This is more than double the typical household consumption figure of 3,300kWh published by Ofgem.
According to property managers, housing association Yorkshire Housing, the 'boilers at Pavilion Gardens are not performing as efficiently as they should and the manufacturer has visited properties on a number of occasions in order to rectify the problems.'
It is understood Bradford Council has been working with the 'contractor responsible for the construction of the properties at Pavilion Gardens in order to find a resolution to these problems.'
The authority has also met with residents to explain how it proposes to reimburse them for high electricity usage and Yorkshire Housing stated that 'costs incurred in reimbursing the residents [would] be charged via the original building contract.'
It was originally predicted that occupants of the Level 6 homes, designed by Halliday Clark, would see their energy bills reduced by an average of £500 a year.
Twelve of the homes on the development, which was completed in 2011, meet Code for Sustainable Homes Level 6 and the remaining homes were designed to Level 4. The homes have high levels of insulation, PV tiles, MVHR, air source heat pumps and solar hot water.
John Alker of the UK Green Building Council, said: 'For those delivering cutting edge designs there will always be examples of things that don't go as expected. Those should be fixed and learnt from.'
A comment from boiler manufacturer NIBE
Both NIBE air to water and exhaust air heat pumps have been used in a selection of the homes at the Pavilion Gardens development, with a number of properties using a separate district heating source.
As far as we understand, high bills have been experienced across all properties at this development, not solely those with heat pump installations – indicating that the heat source is not solely at fault.
Some of our heat pump units were not performing to their full potential and despite not being responsible for these issues – we have swiftly ensured remedial work has taken place and issues have been resolved. In these instances, it was apparent that problems arose from incorrect installation or commissioning. In some cases, end user operation also played a part, and where this was the case, we ensured residents were fully informed on correct usage for best results.
We have since installed energy meters at each of the properties to ensure usage can be properly monitored moving forward. We have repeatedly asked the housing association for the results but so far they have not been forthcoming with information.
While we're not privy to homeowners' individual bills, we will advise that heat pump technology will only work effectively, if correctly specified, installed and operated. We are confident that in this instance, primarily poor installation but also end user operation were the reason units were not delivering.
In the interests of customer satisfaction, NIBE has offered free servicing, recommissioning and user training visits. We have also produced instructional DVDs to help consumers understand how to use systems efficiently. For installers, we do everything we possibly can to help ensure correct installation of our units and we have training academies across the UK to provide comprehensive support and guidance. We have even made it a condition of our warranty that systems must be installed by trained installers. In the end though, we can't oversee every installation to make sure it is being done properly or that trained installers are being used.

A Rough Start To A New Beginning
One of the turning-point events in my life occurred when I started college. I was very excited to start a new chapter in my life. I was looking forward to meeting new people, my classes, and the freedom that comes with it. College was the main topic in many conversations all though my senior year of high school. Every one of my classmates that year was anxious to be done with high school and start anew. Both of my parents, friends, and teacher's in high school said that I would do great in college because of my outstanding work ethic and willingness to learn.
Prior to going to college, I spend a lot of time with my best friend, Lauren, who was going to a different college. We had been friends since 1st grade, so it was difficult to go on different paths. I also spent a lot of time deciding what I was going to take with me. First, I sorted though my closet and room many times trying to decide what to keep and what to give away. Then, I decided what to bring with me. I also got a few school supplies; I had to make sure I was fully prepared.
I arrived at school a week before the other freshman because I participated in the Accelerate program. This program was designed for incoming freshman to get to know the campus and meet new people prior to classes starting. Besides attending the freshman orientation, this was my chance to start over and make new friends. However, the main purpose was for us to help other freshman move into their dorm on move-in day. Since I live in Woodworth Complex, I helped other freshman living there move in. That was a crazy day, so I am glad we made it easier.
I had a busy schedule my first semester of college. I was taking 16 credit hours worth of classes and participated in small activities required for my minor. Having five classes on Mondays and Wednesdays made my schedule a little more difficult to manage.
Three weeks after classes started, I was diagnosed with mononucleosis, which, unfortunately, included strep throat that made me unable to talk clearly. At that point, I thought it was the end of the world. I am the type of person who gets stresses easily, which is what caused me to get mono. Knowing that you have to rest all day and pretty much do nothing for about six weeks made me even more stressed. I kept wondering how I was going to get all of my work done and if I was even going to make it through the semester.
I was out of class for one week, but my illness lasted about four weeks. Even though I needed to rest, I pushed myself to go back to class after the first week. At that point, I was obviously still sick. I could barely talk and was tired much of the time. I even had to give my first speech at 7:30 in the morning during the week I came back because I missed my original speech day. I also took two of my first exams while I was still sick, which were for Biology and History. I did not do very well on these exams because of the circumstances. That was when I knew I had to get back up from there and raise my grades. I really wish I did not take those exams at that time. The problems was, I knew that if I did not try to keep up with my schoolwork, I would be even more behind. I should have let myself heal longer before getting back into the swing of things. That probably would have made a big difference in my grades.
Because of where I was at that point, I had to work extra hard, harder than I already was working. I was even encouraged to drop my hardest class, which was History, and take it in the next semester or during the summer. But I said, "No, I am going to finish this semester and pass all of my classes."
The reason why History was my hardest course to pass was because it was only graded on exams, which includes a few reports. I was lucky that my professors, my History professor in particular, spent a lot of time with me discussing my exams, giving me advice about how to study, and answering any questions I had. What is funny is that the more time I spent studying for my History class, the more interesting it became. My professor was also very enthusiastic about the subject, which made it enjoyable for me to listen to.
By the end of the semester, I was definitely proud of myself for accomplishing my goal, which was to not only pass my History class, but to pass all of my other classes as well. After this event, I realized that I can achieve something if I put my mind to it, despite having a rough start.
I learned that constantly worrying is not going to get me anywhere, especially when worrying about unimportant. My mom always tells me that everything will always work out. Those words have helped me through some very stressful and frustrating situations. It is sometimes hard for me to relax and not stress when I know I have something important and nerve-racking coming up. In fact, my New Years resolution was to not stress. I think I have been keeping up with that very well. Of course, everyone if going to have tough situations were all they can think to do is stress. However, you just have to learn how to let some problems work out on their own and just move on and know that it will all work out some how.

The long dormant King's Quest series will soon get a new lease on life, thanks to Telltale Games. Add that classic Sierra franchise to Jurassic Park, Back to the Future, The Walking Dead and Fables on the long list of Telltale projects.
And add a few more to that too.
Telltale Games will also be releasing new Puzzle Agent games, including a port of the Professor Layton-inspired original game for the PlayStation Network and a proper sequel—Puzzle Agent 200for PC, Mac, iOS devices and PSN. The developer of (mostly) episodic games also has another project on its plate, releasing Hector: Badge of Carnage for the iPad, PC, and Mac.
Telltale's take on the King's Quest series will be a multiplatform effort, similar in execution to its handling of the Secret of Monkey Island franchise.

Nevertheless, use the code WELCOME09, and get a free kit worth £20 – spend over £50 and get free recorded delivery. You need to use a new email address and its one free gift per person.

The key to understanding church finances is to understand that they are a means to an end. They allow the church to carry out its religious mission across the world. —statement from the LDS Church
The increasing visibility of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has prompted media requests for information on the church's financial structure, a level of interest underscored this week by a cover story in Bloomberg Businessweek.
However, a church spokesman said Businessweek's story contained speculative information and misperceptions. The cover illustration also offended many communities of faith, including the LDS Church. (Please see accompanying story).
As a result of the frequent media requests, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued an in-depth outline of its financial history, philosophy and structure and posted it Thursday on its LDS Newsroom website.
"The key to understanding church finances is to understand that they are a means to an end," the statement says. "They allow the church to carry out its religious mission across the world."
Noted historian and scholar Richard L. Bushman, professor emeritus at New York's Columbia University, said he believes the groundbreaking statement from the LDS Church stems from the fact that "the church has been criticized so often for its involvement in business and its wealth that it would like to dispel the impression that it is a corporate empire aimed at making money."
In Bushman's opinion, the church's impatience with this criticism is justified.
"The church is not a capitalist enterprise; it is a religious endeavor that uses the tools of capitalism to achieve religious ends," he said. "In a nation obsessed with wealth, the distinction is hard to appreciate, but to Mormons it is all-important."
In fact, the church's statement emphasized the charitable and religious purposes of all its investments.
"The church exists to improve the lives of people across the world by bringing them closer to Jesus Christ," the statement said. "The assets of the church are used in ways to support that mission. Buildings are built for members to come together to worship God and to be taught the gospel of Jesus Christ. Missionaries are sent to invite people to come to Christ. Resources are used to provide food and clothing for the needy and to provide ways for people to lift themselves up and be self-reliant.
"What is important is not the cost but the outcome. As former church President Gordon B. Hinckley said, 'The only true wealth of the church is in the faith of its people.'"
The statement on finances begins with a review of its fiduciary history, indicating that "from the very beginning, members of the church displayed a remarkable ability to set aside material things for spiritual goals." Examples are cited, including how "one of the earliest church members, Martin Harris, mortgaged his farm to pay for the publication of the Book of Mormon."
The financial sacrifices of the church's journey to the American West are outlined, along with its early struggles with debt. According to the statement, the church's renewed commitment to the principle of tithing – under the direction of President Lorenzo Snow – was critical to overcoming indebtedness.
"Tithing is an ancient biblical principle, and has been practiced by many churches through the centuries," the statement says. "Independent studies show, however, that nowhere else in America today is the principle of tithing so widely and faithfully followed as among members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The vast majority of the income used to manage the church comes from tithing, not from businesses or investments."
In addition to tithing being "an enormous blessing to the church and its people," the statement also cites "sound economic principles such as avoiding debt, living within one's means and setting aside funds for a rainy day" as critical to the church's philosophical approach to finances.
The statement addresses church ownership of for-profit businesses, which began during its pioneer period as it established certain necessary businesses. Through the years, many of those businesses, such as Zion's Bank and the LDS Hospital system, have been sold, donated to the community or discontinued.
"Today, the church's business assets support the church's mission and principles by serving as a rainy day fund," the statement says. "Agricultural holdings now operated as for-profit enterprises can be converted into welfare farms in the event of a global food crisis. Companies such as KSL Television and the Deseret News provide strategically valuable communication tools."
Bushman said "the church wants these businesses to be self-sufficient and not a drain on tithing resources, but their overriding purpose is religious more than economic."
The statement indicates that the church's tithing funds are used to support what it calls "five key areas of activity":
- Providing meetinghouses as places of worship. "We have thousands of such buildings and continue to open more, sometimes several in a week," the statement said.
- Programs for the religious education of high school and college-age students.
- Supporting the church's international missionary program.
- Building and operating nearly 140 temples around the world and administering the world's largest and most extensive family history program.
- Supporting the church's welfare and humanitarian programs around the world, which serve "both members of the church as well as those who are not members."
"Such comparisons simply do not hold up," the statement says. "For instance, a corporation's branch offices or retail outlets have to be financially justified as a source of profit. But every time (the church) builds a place of worship, the building becomes a consumer of assets and a financial obligation that has to be met through worldwide member donations. The ongoing maintenance and upkeep, utilities and use of the building can only be achieved as long as faithful members continue to support the church."
The church addressed efforts to determine how much of the church's total income is used to care for the poor and needy. "Again," the statement says, "they rarely capture the whole picture," including the work of "nearly 30,000 bishops who oversee their respective congregations (and) have direct access to church funds to care for those in need, as they help members achieve self-sufficiency."
The church's objective in its welfare efforts "is to help individuals to overcome temporal barriers as they pursue spiritual values," the statement says.
In news stories such as the recent Bloomberg Businessweek cover story, the published numbers relate only to the church's humanitarian outreach and "do not reflect the church's extensive welfare and employment service that serve many thousands worldwide."
"They also do not represent Deseret Industries thrift stores that provide vouchers to other charities for their use; donations to food pantries; or humanitarian–or-welfare-focused missionary service or support given to aid other relief organizations and their missions," the statement said.
"Those who attempt to define the church as an institution devoted to amassing monetary wealth miss the entire point," the statement concludes. "The church's purpose is to bring people to Christ and to follow his example by lifting the burdens of those who are struggling. The key to understanding the church is not to see it as a worldwide corporation, but as millions of faithful members in thousands of congregations across the world following Christ and caring for each other and their neighbors."

Selena Gomez Reportedly Holds Studio Sessions With Taylor Swift + Miley Cyrus
Selena Gomez isn't spending all her time dealing with rumors of a breakup with Justin Bieber (which now appear to be false). Gomez was spotted in the studio this weekend recording new music with fellow young superstars Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus.
Perez Hilton previously reported that Swift and Gomez had dinner together on Saturday at Osteria La Buca on Saturday night, but new reports suggest that the singers also met up in the studio to write or record music together. If Gomez ever does end up splitting from Bieber for good, Swift would be the ultimate collaborator, since no one's better at writing breakup songs.
Earlier that afternoon, Cyrus was seen heading into the same studio, where she remained for three hours. Selena recording with Miley would be huge news, given the rumors that the former Disney stars were feuding and that Cyrus may have even played a role in the friction between Gomez and her boyfriend. Sel's next record, the follow-up to the gold-certified 'When the Sun Goes Down,' is planned for a March 2013 release.
As for Gomez and Bieber, we assumed they were done for good after their alleged dinner fight, but they were spotted holding hands together after the American Music Awards, so who knows?

text: I followed the how-to for web-email-mysql cluster setup and got busy after I had finished it and kind of goofed I think or maybe I didn't. I have two servers setup blade001 and blade007, by naming convention I thought I had setup blade001 to be the master server and was about to start adding resellers and clients as I migrate them out from some older systems running ispcp. Verified I could access both systems control panel page and all was good. But I just noticed something though, one system is setup to access it from port 8443 and the other from port 8080. I would like to get them both on port 8443. Plus wanting to subsitute roundcube as the default webmail instead of squirrelmail. I have gone through and installed roundcube, roundcube-core and roundcube-mysql via apt-get, debians package managment on both systems using same settings for the db's and passwords for each and was about to remove the symlinks to squirrelmail but is there anything else I need to do for the system to work as expected. I would like to have both installed and have roundcube as the default so by hitting www.example.com/webmail it would load roundcube but if someone wanted squirrelmail they could still access it by hitting www.example.com/squirrelmail That is not to say that squirrelmail and roundcube are using the same password for the db connection though. Those in fact are different. So summary. Changing default port ISPconfig is listening on, what files to modify. Adding Roundcube and making it the default while keeping squirrelmail. anything other than webmail symlink needing to be changed? Hope I have explained that well enough. and btw, KUDO's. From looking through everything I have seen and all the systems I have worked with over the last 10+ years. You guys have done and incredible job and really REALLY thought this thing through. I look forward to getting this impliments and launched. Once I get everything migrated I will add global IP's but I will ask that question separately.
