To qualify for 2013 Top Safety Pick+, a vehicle must earn good ratings for occupant protection in at least 4 of 5 evaluations (moderate overlap front, driver-side small overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests) and no less than acceptable in the fifth test.
The photos and videos shown here may be of a different model, model year or body type from the one selected. The ratings of one vehicle often apply to other models if they are built on the same platform. In addition, a test of a vehicle from one model year may apply to earlier or later model years if the vehicle hasn't been significantly redesigned.
The Dodge Dart was introduced in the 2013 model year. Two tests of the Dart were conducted because electrical power to the onboard (car interior) cameras was interrupted during the first test. In the second Dart test, the driver door opened when the hinges tore away from the door frame. In the first test, the hinges were severely damaged and the lower one tore away, but the door stayed shut. In each test, the Dart's safety belt and front and side curtain airbags appeared to adequately protect the dummy's head and upper body, and measures from the dummy showed little risk of head and chest injuries.
As a result, the Institute averaged results of both tests and downgraded the Dart's restraints and kinematics rating to marginal because doors shouldn't open in a crash. Injury and structural ratings are based on both tests.
The driver space was maintained reasonably well in the two tests, taken together. Maximum intrusion of the lower interior was 21 cm at the lower hinge pillar in the first test, but much higher at 35 cm in the second test. All other intrusion measures were very similar between the two tests (varying by no more than 2 cm), with upper interior intrusion measuring 9-11 cm at the hinge pillar and instrument panel in the first test and 10-12 cm in the second test.
Measures from the dummies in the two tests, taken together, indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
The driver door opened in the second test, which shouldn't happen because the driver could be partly or completely ejected from the vehicle. Still, in the second test, the dummy's head loaded the frontal airbag, which stayed in front of the dummy until rebound. (Camera views from outside the car suggest that dummy movement was very similar in the first test.) In both tests, the side curtain airbag deployed but does not have sufficient forward coverage to protect the head from contact with forward side structure and outside objects. The side torso airbag also deployed in both tests.
How this test is conducted
The Dodge Dart was introduced in the 2013 model year.
Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Dummy movement was well controlled. The driver side curtain airbag deployed during the crash. After the dummy moved forward into the frontal airbag, its head contacted the side curtain airbag.
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures would be possible in a crash of this severity. The risk of significant injuries to other body regions is low.
Passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof and a side airbag that deployed from the seat.
Passenger — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.
In the test, the strength of the roof is determined by pushing a metal plate against one side of it at a slow but constant speed. The force applied relative to the vehicle's weight is known as the strength-to-weight ratio. This graph shows how the ratio varied as the test of this vehicle progressed. The peak strength-to-weight ratio recorded at any time before the roof is crushed 5 inches is the key measurement of roof strength.
A good rating requires a strength-to-weight ratio of at least 4. In other words, the roof must withstand a force of at least 4 times the vehicle's weight before the plate crushes the roof by 5 inches. For an acceptable rating, the minimum required strength-to-weight ratio is 3.25. For a marginal rating, it is 2.5. Anything lower than that is poor.

Over the past year, the Medicaid safety net has been fraying because of a series of federal regulations whose purpose is to reduce federal Medicaid spending by $15 billion over the next five years. As a consequence, important services for both adults and children are in jeopardy. Children with special needs would be especially affected. The regulations would, for example, eliminate therapeutic foster care. Through this valuable program, children with severe emotional problems are placed in private homes with specially trained foster parents. Judith Solomon, a senior fellow at the nonprofit and officially nonpartisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, has pointed out that therapeutic foster care has proven its worth in keeping youngsters with disorders out of psychiatric hospitalsan option that would involve far greater cost and would also jeopardize a childs chances for later being able to reside in the community. Ms. Solomon noted that the U.S. surgeon general, in a 1999 report, cited this type of now-threatened program as an example of a best practice.
Other regulations would remove Medicaid coverage for day habilitation. This type of program makes it possible for people with developmental disabilities, like retardation, to live in community-based settings rather than institutions. In the former they receive the kind of personalized assistance that maximizes their potential. Cuts in case management funds represent yet another area that the regulations would adversely affectreducing the amount of time case managers can spend assisting people in need of housing and specialized services in preparation for semi-independent living in the community. The current policy allows 180 days for a caseworker to make the necessary arrangements, but under the new rules, the time frame would be reduced to 60 days. By limiting the amount of time caseworkers can work with the individual, Ms. Solomon noted, the outcome may be less successful. A similar rule would deny federal reimbursement for case management carried out by child welfare workers acting on behalf of children in foster care.
Further shortsightedness can be seen in the elimination of federal matching funds for programs aimed at parents who may be unaware of benefits for which their children could be eligible. The regulations would mandate that funds for these purposes be restricted if the assistance would be provided by school personnel. And yet the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has itself pointed out that school settings offer the best link for enrolling low-income youngsters in coverage for which they are eligible.
Another area affected would be Medicaid funds to cover some of the costs of graduate medical education for physicians, interns and residents in public hospitals. The administration claims that such uses lie outside the scope of Medicaids purpose. In fact, payments for medical education have been authorized since the very inception of Medicaid, with both Democratic and Republican administrations supportive of this use of funds.Not only health care advocates, but also the nations governors of both parties deplored the proposed regulations at their February meeting in Washington, D.C. They predicted that shifting billions in costs to the states could force many states to cut back services to some of their poorest residents, thereby leaving still more low-income women, men and children without needed medical insurance at a time when a recession seems all but inevitable. Congress has at least imposed a moratorium on the implementation of some of the regulations until late spring. Instead of moratoriums, the better action would be to eliminate these regulations entirely. Ironically, they come at a time when the president is trying to make permanent his tax cuts for the richest Americansa sad contrast between what the poor and the rich can expect from the present administration, expecially as an ill-advised war continues to cost the nation an estimated $10 billion a month. Congress should act while there is still time.

Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Airbus, Northrop Grumman—there is a good chance you recognize all of these names as aerospace and defense powerhouses.
If there is one common trend amongst all of these companies, it is their embracement of 3D printing (3DP) as a legitimate manufacturing tool. Alongside the automotive industry, aerospace and defense industries have been the driving forces behind 3DP's revolutionary growth.
As it turns out the benefits of 3DP are quite universal so what works for large, multi-national corporations can also work for much smaller widget-makers and everyone in-between.

Why Did My Source Think THE HOBBIT Was Greenlit? And A Brief RISE OF THE APES Update!!
In light of Guillermo del Toro stepping down from directing THE HOBBIT (which was a complete surprise to everyone), I thought I should address the reasons why I posted the movie was greenlit back on Thursday.
The bottom line is this: My source (one of the best I have ever had) told me flat out that the movie was greenlit. And now I know why. Simply said, EVERY DEPARTMENT WAS GIVEN THEIR BUDGET AND THE CASH TO RAMP UP.
In my books, that IS a greenlight whether it is from a studio head or production company. This particular source is on the inside - not an executive at the top either. When budgets are set and operating cash is distributed that means a greenlight for pre-production.
So now you know where we stand on this. There was clear and deliberate action to ramp up the movie and it did in fact happen. The status as of today is murky with no director and I am still digging for the inside story. The resignation came out of the blue. What I want to know is what will Weta be doing on the project in the short term now that GDT is gone? Obviously this whole thing is Peter Jackson's baby so there will always be leadership present, but what is going on right now?
Weta is in a bit of a pickle too as production for the PLANET OF THE APES prequel is set to pick up soon. In fact they are already creating some CG models and the pipeline for the rigging and such for them. The CG models are looking VERY COOL according to my source.
Movie is set for a June 24, 2011 release.
With James Franco already cast, I have very high hopes for the movie. I have a feeling RISE OF THE APES is going to forever change the franchise. More when I get it!!

The Arenal Volcano with: Tabacon Hot Springs tour is one of the most popular tours that we offer. This tour offers the best of both worlds, in terms of the raw untamed beauty of the imposing Arenal Volcano, which is juxtaposed against the lush and soothing thermal waters of Tabacon Hot Springs. All this set against a backdrop of lush vegetation and breathtaking views of the nearly perfect conical shaped lines of the volcano. Enroute to the Arenal Volcano there will be a stop in the famous town of Sarchi, known as the birthplace of Costa Rica's Artisans. In Sarchi, you can see many of the handicrafts that Costa Rica has to offer, as well as the possibility of feasting your eyes on the world largest ox cart. The cart is made of cedar and is painted with several coats (4) of orange paint and is multicolored. The design is typical and intricate, indicative of traditional oxcarts. The oxcart is two stories high and took nearly 70 days to construct and paint. For the record, according to the Guinness book of world recorded, the cart is nearly 45 feet long (14 meters) and weighs 4400 lbs (2 tons). The journey will then continue, traversing diverse plantations with agricultural products, including pineapple farms, and mango groves, ornamental plants and cattle ranches until arriving to the small town of La Fortuna, and stopping to enjoy lunch at a cozy restaurant with a magnificent view of the volcano. Then you will go on to relax at one of the best hot springs in the area where you will revel in the cleansing and rejuvenating effects of the thermal waters, as well as an optional massage or other special treatment, if you choose, that must be reserved ahead of time to ensure availability. Tabacon Hot springs combines the four elements of nature; the heat of the volcano, the flowing waters of the hot springs, the pure air of the rainforest, and the fertile earth of the Fortuna de San Carlos Region, to provided visitors with a first rate experience. And for a perfect ending, before going back to San José, a wonderful dinner will be served with a great view of the volcano so that you do not miss any opportunity to look at the magnificently shaped volcano.
This Tour departs from Don Carlos Hotel at 8:05 a.m. and gets back approximately at 10:30 p.m. Both lunch and dinner are included.

Managing Your Cash Flow
The statement of cash flow reports the movement of cash into and out of your business in a given year. Cash is the lifeblood of your company. Cash includes currency, checks on hand, and deposits in banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, temporary investments such as treasury bills, certificates of deposit, or commercial paper that can be quickly and easily converted to cash.
Your business will use cash to pay bills, repay loans, and make investments, allowing you to provide goods and services to your customers. Your company will use cash to generate even more cash as a result of higher profits. The cash flow statement reports your business' sources and uses of cash and the beginning and ending values for cash and cash equivalents each year. It also includes the combined total change in cash and cash equivalents from all sources and uses of cash.
It is imperative that you, the business owner, be able to successfully prepare a statement of cash flow. This discussion provides a detailed look into the various sections of a cash flow statement. It also describes two methods used to calculate cash flow from operating activities, indirect and direct with examples that will give you an edge when it comes time to prepare a cash flow statement of your own.
I. Background on a Cash Flow Statement
Before getting into the nuts and bolts of a statement of cash flow, let's take a brief look at how this document has evolved over the years.
Originally, businesses were required to file a statement of changes in financial position, or funds statement. The funds statement went through several years of development before it was widely used. In 1961, Accounting Research Study No. 2, sponsored by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), recommended that a funds statement be included with the income statement and balance sheet in annual reports to shareholders.
Two years later, Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 3 was issued and provided funds statement preparation guidelines. Although Opinion No. 3 did not go so far as to make the funds statement mandatory, most businesses, aware of the statement's value, included it in their annual reports anyway. Finally in 1971, APB Opinion No. 19 officially made the funds statement one of the three primary financial documents required in annual reports to shareholders. The APB also said a funds statement must be covered by the auditor's report. Because Opinion No. 19 didn't specify a particular format for the funds statement, businesses still enjoyed considerable flexibility in how they chose to report their funds flow information.
That flexibility came to an end in late 1987, with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB) issuance of Statement No. 95, which called for a statement of cash flows to replace the more general funds statement. Additionally, the FASB, in an effort to help investors and creditors better predict future cash flow, specified a universal statement format that highlighted cash flow from operating, investing, and financing activities. This format is still used today.
Back to Outline
II. Major Classifications of Cash Flow
Cash Flow Statements are broken down into three sections:
III. Operating Activities
Operating activities (all transactions and events that normally enter into the determination of operating income) include cash receipts from selling goods or providing services, as well as income from items such as interest and dividends. Operating activities also include your cash payments such as inventory, payroll, taxes, interest, utilities, and rent. The net amount of cash provided (or used) by operating activities is the key figure on a statement of cash flows.
Cash receipts include:
Sale of goods or services
Interest revenue
Dividend revenue
Cash payments include:
Inventory purchases
Taxes Interest expense
Other (utilities, rent, etc.)
Note: While cash inflows from interest or dividends could be considered investing or financing activities, the FASB classifies them as operating activities (which means you should too!).
Back to Outline
IV. Investing Activities
Investing activities include transactions and events involving the purchase and sale of securities (excluding cash equivalents), land, buildings, equipment, and other assets not generally held for resale. It also covers the making and collecting of loans. Investing activities are not classified as operating activities because they have an indirect relationship to the central, ongoing operation of your business (usually the sale of goods or services).
Cash receipts include:
Sale of plant assets
Sale of a business segment
Sale of investments in equity securities of other entities or debt securities (other than cash equivalents)
Collection of principal on loans made to other entities
Cash payments include:
Purchase of plant assets
Purchase of equity securities of other entities or debt securities (other than cash equivalents)
Loans to other entities
Back to Outline
V. Financing Activities
All financing activities deal with the flow of cash to or from the business owners (equity financing) and creditors (debt financing). For example, cash proceeds from issuing capital stock or bonds would be classified under financing activities. Likewise, payments to repurchase stock (treasury stock) or to retire bonds and the payment of dividends are financing activities as well.
Cash receipts include:
Issuance of own stock
Borrowing (bonds, notes, mortgages, etc.)
Cash payments include:
Dividends to stockholders
Repaying principal amounts borrowed
Repurchasing business' own stock (treasury stock)
Back to Outline
VI. General Format For a Statement of Cash Flows
The Investing and Financing Activities sections of the statement of cash flows are straightforward. The Operating Activities section, however, is more complex. It requires analysis of operating accounts that converts figures from an accrual to a cash format.
The following is the general format for a statement of cash flows:
|Cash provided (or used) by:
|Operating activities
|Investing activities
|Financing activities
|Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents
|Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of year
|Cash and cash equivalents at end of year
There are two methods that are used in calculating and reporting the amount of net cash flow from operating activities: the indirect method and the direct method. Although both produce identical results, the indirect method is used more often because it reconciles the difference between net income and the net cash flow provided by operations.
Back to Outline
VII. Indirect Method
Popular because of its relative simplicity, the indirect method has you start with a figure for net income (from your income statement) and helps you adjust this accrual amount for any items that do not affect cash flows. There are three basic types of adjustments:
Note: When determining the change in current assets do not include the cash and cash equivalent accounts.

VIII. Sample Indirect Method Statement of Cash Flows
(You can use the interactive table provided to create a cash flow statement for your company. Netscape users must scroll back down to the form after clicking 'submit' for your results.)
Back to Outline
IX. Notes on Indirect Method Statement of Cash Flow
|Current Assets 12/31/00
|$ 75,500
|Current Assets 12/31/99
Note: Since current assets increased, $5,500 is reported as a negative
amount. Cash was spent or converted into current assets, therefore reducing
the cash balance.
Back to Outline
X. Direct Method
The direct method, although less popular, is favored by many financial managers because it reports the source of cash inflows and outflows directly, without the potentially confusing adjustments to net income. Instead of starting with a reported net income, the direct method analyzes the various types of operating activities and calculates the total cash flow created by each one. Before beginning the direct method, all accrual accounts must first be converted to a cash figure.
Back to Outline
XI. Sample Direct Method Worksheet
This worksheet will help explain how the amounts were determined in the direct method cash flow statement (see Statement).
A. Cash receipts from customers:
Net Sale
+Beginning Accounts Rec. (1/1/00)
-Ending Accounts Rec. (12/31/00)
Cash Receipts from Customers
B. Cash payments for inventory:
+Ending Inventory (12/31/00)
-Beginning Inventory (1/1/00)
+Beginning A/P (1/1/00)
-Ending A/P (12/31/00)
Cash paid for inventory
C. Cash paid for operating expenses:
Operating expenses
-Depreciation expense
+Ending prepaid expense
-Beginning prepaid expense
+Beginning expense payable
-Ending expense payable
Cash paid for operating expenses
D. Cash paid for interest expense:
Interest expense per P&l
+Beginning interest payable
-Ending interest payable
Cash paid for interest expense
E. Cash paid for corporate income taxes
Income taxes expense per P&L
+Beginning taxes payable
-Ending taxes payable
Cash paid for corporate taxes

XII. Errors
Common problems encountered in preparing a cash flow statement stem from trade-ins on equipment or from the preparer's failure to adjust net income by the gain or loss from the sale of equipment.

Onde Nostre is a lifestyle documentary film that shows the peculiarity of the Italian surf scene and the beauty of this sport, even in a country that's not usually considered a top destination for catching waves.
This film is intended to show the passion and high level of the Italian surfers. Shot mainly in 16mm and super 8 and only a small part is shot digital in order to emphasize the beauty of the landscape. The film has a romantic approach to surfing. Action has a great relevance, with slow motion segments and an emotional editing. Onde Nostre also shows Italian surfers lifestyle and the endless search for good waves in the Mediterranean sea. We travelled in spring of 2010 between Liguria, Tuscany and the western part of Sardinia. The film breathes the grand and powerful landscapes where nature and our surfers are living in symbiosis. We had the chance to get into the lives of our riders, recording their emotions, their expectations and their joy. Showing parts were the human aspects and the hard part of being an athlete comes out.
Onde Nostre is a tribute to our sea (Mare Nostrum) and to the their people that keep on searching, believing in a simple life style made of small but important values: friendship, nature, the joy of doing what we love to do.
Support our sea. Long life to le Nostre Onde.

A study published in Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine in 2008 shows the success of a manual physical therapy, known as the Wurn Technique?, in opening blocked fallopian tubes.
Free book chapter on Natural Treatment for Blocked Fallopian Tubes Ch6 Blocked Fallopian Tubes.pdf
This unique therapy is a completely hands on treatment that requires no drugs and no surgery. Women who received this treatment reported natural pregnancies in the following months after therapy. In the image below, Belinda Wurn, co-founder of the Wurn Technique?, treats abdominal adhesions. Adhesions have been known to cause fertility issues by decreasing regular function of the reproductive organs and causing blockage and obstruction.
The success rates of this study are as follows:
61% success rate opening blocked fallopian tubes
53% natural intrauterine pregnancy rate for the patent patients
66% patency (one or both tubes open) rate for patients with proximal blockage
50% patency rate for patients with distal blockage
40% patency rate for patients with mid-tubal blockage
80% patency rate for patients with combination blockage

The Seven Deadly Sins Film Festival kicks off this Friday with an 8:00 PM showing of the Coen Brother's film The Big Lebowski.
There will be a total of seven films shown throughout two weeks, each followed by a faculty led discussion.
"The faculty film committee's role is to bring high quality cinema to campus for the Wabash Community to enjoy together," Film Committee Director Professor Amanda Ingram said. "We spent a lot of time brainstorming together to find films that would be engaging intellectually stimulating, and entertaining to a wide variety of people. We decided early on to choose a theme which to focus our selections, and the Seven Deadly Sins seemed to be a perfect fit. It's a wide-open theme and allows us to choose a mix of familiar favorites, must-see classics, and wonderful but perhaps not so well known films.
"There is something magical about sitting alone of with friends in a dark room watching larger than life images flash in front of you. One of my greatest memories from college is spending hours at the local art cinema that was located a couple block from campus. I saw so many great films during those four year and really developed my love for them then. Most of us can't get that experience from home. Crawfordsville obviously has a couple of places where you can see movies on the big screen, but we're hoping to show some films that would never come to town otherwise and encourage intellectual discussion of them."

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
- How many Catholics are there in the world? Or in the USA? Or your town and state? Think about that for a moment.
- If one looks to the U.S. Census population figures just released for 2010, the answer is there are no Catholics in the USA. But the census population figures also show no Protestants, Jews, Muslims, or Hindus, Buddhists, or Unitarian Universalists. That's because the Census Bureau is prohibited by law from asking mandatory questions about religious beliefs. The prohibition has not always existed and at various times throughout U.S. history, federal census takers have asked questions about religious belief. The practice was always controversial, as anyone familiar with either the American Constitution or Americans' general personal constitutions might well imagine.
- In other countries, however, governments do collect official statistics on religious belief and church membership. Again, however, in many countries, such inquiries are also highly controversial.Just how do we know that there are 1.188 billion Catholics around the world? This is the "official" figure given by the Vatican's Central Statistics Office in the Annuario Pontifico 2010 [Pontifical Yearbook 2010].
- This figure is derived from government statistics where permitted, private research, and of course, the Church's own census taking, starting at the parish level. There are "independent" Catholic institutions engaged in demographic research such as Georgetown University's Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Other authoritative sources are The Official Catholic Directory, published by National Register Publishing Co., the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, and independent researcher David M. Cheney, who runs the website Catholic-Hierarchy.org.
- One source of independent research on religious affiliations is, strangely enough, The CIA World Factbook, published by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. The 2011 edition of the Factbook covers 165 countries and includes statistics about religious affiliations in each country. The CIA data is consistent with other, nongovernmental research on religious institutions and affiliations.The worldwide Catholic population of 1.182 billion persons constitutes more than 17% of the world's total population, making Catholicism the largest religious denomination in the world.The total U.S. Catholic population is reportedly between 65,400,000 and 77,800,000 persons. The lower figure is the "official" number; the higher 77.8 million number is based on self-identity survey data. In any event, researchers generally regard Catholics as making up about 24% (+/-1%) of the total U.S. Population and about 30% of all American Christians. The next largest religious group in the U.S. Is the Southern Baptist Convention with about 16.6 million members, about one-third the number of Catholics.
The "most" Catholic states in the U.S. are Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island, each with about 42% Catholic populations. California, Illinois, and Nebraska follow with 31% each.
The "least" Catholic state is Arkansas with a mere 5% Catholic population.
Of the nearly one-quarter of Americans who are Catholic, only a quarter of them (5%) are African-American. As for Hispanics, CARA recently reported that, "The proportion of Hispanics who are Catholic and Protestant remains unclear, partly because of varying survey methodologies and limited understanding of how that variation affects estimates of Hispanic religious identification."
The CARA paper further states "Estimates of the proportion of Hispanics or Latinos in the United States who identify as Catholic vary considerably, from slightly over half to 90 percent [citing a 2000 Department of Health and Human Services report]. No clear consensus has emerged among scholars, and debate persists among church leaders and activists.
Methodologies and data from eleven different papers are then examined. The CARA researchers finally state "We conclude that 70 percent or slightly more is a reasonable estimate of the proportion of adult Hispanics who are Catholic, and 20 percent a reasonable estimate of the proportion Protestant or other Christian."

Irish airspace was due to open this morning but it's reopening has been postponed until at least 1 pm today.
The postponement is due to the renewed eruption of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokull.
The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) has said that Ireland is one of the core areas that will be affected by the volcanic ash cloud.
"There will be no commercial flights departing Ireland prior to 1p.m. An update will be provided mid morning but the restrictions may well be continued to a later time." said the IAA.
Shannon airport is to open at 1 p.m. local time, while Dublin may open at 7 p.m., while a decision will be taken during the day about Cork airport.
The Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) has asked all passengers to contact their airlines, and said that the air ban may extended.
Aer Lingus has been forced to cancel all flights today, the airline estimates that the canceling of flights will cost the company between $20million and $27million.
Some 45 percent of European flights will run as scheduled with up to 60 percent returning tomorrow.
Northern Europe is locked down until tomorrow afternoon.
Paris has reopened and the first flight since Thursday is expected today.
Regulators have stated that it may take several days for normal air traffic to resume in newly reopened airports.
Test flights carried out by several European airlines have found that the volcanic ash cloud's density has reduced significantly.
The ash cloud has led to the cancellation of over 60,000 flights.
EU transport ministers held a video conference yesterday and decided to gradually reopen European airspace.
They have divided Europe into open, closed and restricted zones.
Ireland's Meteorological office has said that the volcano is now emitting more lava than ash.
However recent eruptions have sent a cloud of ash 5km into the atmosphere.
They will reassess the situation in the evening.
The UK, Ireland, western Germany and the Benelux countries are the worst affected by the volcanic ash.
Ireland's Minister for Transport Noel Dempsey said he hoped in the coming days, that everything would return "as near to normality as possible."
Dempsey said that aircraft "won't be allowed up if there's any danger at all to passengers."
Tourism Ireland announced that it was losing 16,000 overseas visitors for each day airspace was closed.

Pistol Annies Reveal How They Came Together to Create New Album, 'Hell on Heels'
Who's the hottest new country act of the year? With one single to their name, a debut album still two weeks away from store shelves, and Miranda Lambert in the lineup, the answer just might be Pistol Annies.
The red-hot trio — consisting of Lambert, Angaleena Presley and Ashley Monroe — recently sat down with Taste of Country to dish a little about their first album, 'Hell on Heels,' and discuss the balance between solo songwriting and life as a group.
"We actually met like two-and-a-half years ago," explains Presley. "Ashley and Miranda had co-written a few songs that didn't really fit on their solo albums and they didn't know what to do with them, but they didn't want to give them away because they were great songs."
She adds, "Ashley played Miranda some of my music and she loved it and they called me at two o'clock in the morning, forced me out of bed and made me email them my whole record and that's all she wrote."
"It's nerve-wracking for me especially," says Lambert. "I have a solo career and didn't want people to compare it or say negative things about the project. So far, knock on wood, we've had really great reviews and really great fan response. It feels good to know what we thought was so great, other people do too."

ATLANTA (RNN) – The Centers for Disease Control reports a nasty stomach bug has affected almost 300 people in nine states with scattered reports of outbreaks in two others. It is apparently spreading.
The intestinal illness called cyclospora infection is caused by a one-cell parasite invisible to the naked eye. It takes about a week to incubate then causes intense diarrhea, loss of appetite, weight loss, stomach cramps and pain, bloating, nausea and fatigue.
Vomiting and body aches are also associated with infection, and it is common to feel extremely tired, according to the CDC.
The outbreak in the U.S. appears to have started in Iowa about mid-June. The other outbreaks are primarily in Midwestern states, though cases have been confirmed in Georgia.
Untreated symptoms can last from a few days to a month and may go away for a while before returning. People catch it by ingesting water or food that has been contaminated with feces passed by a person who is already infected.
People who think they have been infected should see their doctor immediately. The treatment usually involves heavy doses of antibiotics and drinking plenty of water.
As of Wednesday, 18 people have been hospitalized in three states with the disease. No particular food items have been identified as the cause, and it's not clear if the outbreaks in the different states are connected.
The CDC's investigation is ongoing and it is working with multiple local health departments and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Here are a list of the states where outbreaks have been confirmed: Iowa, Nebraska, Texas, Wisconsin, Georgia, Connecticut, New Jersey, Minnesota and Ohio.
Illinois and Kansas have also notified CDC of one case each that may have been acquired out of state.

RastreiaImoveis needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 98 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
Vacation rentals website for Brazil (not yet launched). Think about homeaway.com, but we will make it much more simple to find what you want. AND you will also be able to list hotels, inns, restaurants, bars, clubs. In short, we will be a travel related site where you can find the 3 things you always look for when going on vacation: where to stay, where to eat, where to have fun.
Temporada could be translated as "vacations", "season", period of time while people go on vacation.
Livre could be translated as "free" (not meaning no cost, meaning liberty, no constraints, etc).
Our target audience is very broad, since we will cater for anyone going on vacation, looking mainly for a place to stay (from a hotel to a house to rent), but we will also list restaurants (to eat) or clubs and bars (entertainment).
Think a web 2.0 site, very modern layout, I really like airbnb.com. I know this is for logo design, not web design, but I really like their website.
We have a slogan, it's in portuguese, but we could translate it as this:
"Find out now a place to stay, to eat and to have fun. Simple. Fast. Free".
The logo can incorporate this slogan or not, we're really open to ideas here. Be creative =)

The Pochoir Project
From SuperTech Wiki
Welcome to Pochoir
Pochoir - Parallel Stencil Computation Compiler
Pochoir (pronounced "PO-shwar") is a compiler and run-time system for implementing stencil computations on multicore processors. A stencil defines the value of a grid point in a d-dimensional spatial grid at time t as a function of neighboring grid points at recent times before t. A stencil computation computes the stencil for each grid point over many time steps.
In Pochoir, user typically just need to specify his /or her stencil computing kernel and boundary conditions in an embedded domain specific language in C++. Depending on the purpose of checking functional correctness or performance, user can employ either a native C++ compiler or Pochoir compiler to compile and run his /or her code. If the user employs the Pochoir compiler, the basic parallelization and optimization strategy of Pochoir is divide-and-conquer (cache-oblivious algorithm). In higher dimensional space-time grid, Pochoir employs a novel cutting strategy of simultaneous space cut.
Pochoir is an open source software project hosted by SuperTech group at CSAIL, MIT. You are invited to contribute in many forms (documentation, translation, writing code, fixing bugs, porting to other platforms...).
The Pochoir package contains three (3) main components: an embedded domain specific language (EDSL) in native C++ for stencil, a C++ template library for baseline run, and a domain specific compiler for optimal run.
The Pochoir EDSL is native C++, the library is C++ template library, and the DSL compiler is written in Haskell. Currently, the Pochoir package is only tested on Linux system.
Pochoir Team
The project is jointly developed by SuperTech group at MIT and Intel Corp.. The core team includes:
Current Release
Pochoir 1.0 is now released (Feb, 2011)
Road Map
1) Performance, Performance, and Performance
2) Algorithm, Algorithm, and Algorithm
3) More boundary conditions, such as irregular shaped computing domain
Pochoir is covered by the GNU Public License version 3.0

Next Tuesday marks the beginning of NTEA-The Work Truck Show in Indianapolis. Hydraulic companies are key exhibitors in this show, as fluid power is used extensively in big work trucks. The event highlights new technologies each year and one cool aspect will be its focus on Green Technologies. Wish I was attending to get a chance to participated in the Green Ride-and-Drive event which will be held Tuesday and Wednesday, March 6-7. While most of the hybrid technologies presented then will be electric, Lightning Hybrids will be showcasing its parallel hydraulic hybrid conversion installed on a Chevrolet 3500 cutaway. Unfortunately, I will not be attending this event but anyone else who plans to make the journey to Indy should definitely check out the technology. Hydraulic hybrids are really cool technology .. in my opinion anyway!
A variety of other hydraulic firms will be at the event, including Hannay Reels, who will be showcasing its cable and hose reels and offering visitors a chance to win a portable storage cable reel. Visit our events page for a complete list of key fluid power exhibitors.

Yale Distance Runners Hope to Continue Their Winning Ways
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The women's track and field team will travel to the Armory in New York City this weekend to toe the line with the rest of the Ancient Eight for Heptagonal Championships. Heps represents the culmination of the season for athletes who do not move on to ECAC Championships next weekend.
Coming off several strong performances in the middle distance and distance events at the annual Harvard-Yale-Princeton meet two weeks ago, the Bulldogs will look to improve upon their seventh-place result at last year's Ivy Championships.
Senior Kate Grace led the Bulldogs at Heps last year with a first-place finish in the 800-meter run. She won in exciting fashion, less than a second in front of the next two finishers. Grace also won that event the previous year. This season, she holds the fastest league time in the 800-meter run after her record-breaking performance (2:06.94) at the Giegengack Invitational on Feb. 4. The Ivy League Championships meet record is 2:04.58, set by Morgan Uceny of Cornell in 2007.
Grace is also the fastest Ivy athlete in the one mile run in 4:39.52, a time that makes her the fastest Yale miler all-time, followed by sophomore Nihal Kayali (4:45.04).
Several other Bulldogs are on the season-best list in the 800-meter run. Sophomore Annelies Gamble is 11th on the season (2:11.85), Kayali is 12th (2:11.86) and freshman Sarah Barry is 15th (2:13.17).
Sophomore Elizabeth Marvin registered the seventh-fastest league time in the 3,000-meter run this season in 9:40.50. This position would just barely place her out of scoring range this weekend, since the top six finishers score points for the team (10, 8, 6, 4, 2, and 1 points, respectively). Freshman Melissa Chapman is also ranked in the 3,000-meter run (18th- 9:50.67).
Finally, the 4x800 meter relay team has so far this season traversed their two miles considerably faster than any other Ivy. Yale is ranked first in the league with a time of 8:49.68. Their nearest competitor, Princeton, is more than two seconds off the pace.
Despite past success, however, the team is only looking ahead, according to distance coach Mark Young '68.
"There can be no taking anything for granted. Past times are just that: past," he said.
Yale throwers will look to senior Stephanie Scaramella for leadership this weekend; she holds top-20 distances in both indoor throwing events. In the shot put, she is 14th in the league with a season-best throw of 12.39 meters. In the weight throw, Scaramella is 12th, with a throw of 15.18 meters. She is joined by sophomore Antonia Renker in the weight throw, ranked 19th with a throw of 12.79 meters.
In the sprints, sophomore Adele Jackson-Gibson will look to improve upon her 12th-place finish at last year's Heps (7.87). She is currently ranked 10th in the Ivy League in 7.81 seconds. Junior Gabriella Kelly has the 17th-fastest league time in the 400-meter run (58.00). Also, freshman Amanda Snajder has run the 16th-best time in the 60-meter hurdles for the Ivy League this season.
Bulldog jumpers to look for include sophomore Jenna Poggi (pole vault- 18th Ivy), freshman Kristen Proe (triple jump- 17th Ivy), senior Emily Standish (high jump-14th Ivy) and freshman Emily Urciuoli (pole vault- 17th Ivy).
The team is ready, said head coach David Shoehalter, the Mark T. Young '68 Director of Cross Country and Track and Field.
"This is our biggest team meet of the season. We're looking forward to great performances from the entire team and are as physically and mentally prepared as we are going to be."
The meet will begin on Saturday at 10:00 a.m and on Sunday at 11:00 a.m. For the most part, Saturday will be filled with preliminary heats while Sunday is comprised of final events. The official meet website, including a meet schedule, can be found here. A full list of season-best Ivy League performances is available here. Results will be available at lancertiming.com as well as yalebulldogs.com.

OK, so maybe they don't TALK talk, but they sure can tell you a LOT. I'd found out that my mom's grandmother, Laura Louise Richards Wersel, would be the conduit through which we'd find our American Patriot. I was a researcher by trade, working in the financial industry as a portfolio assistant, keeping track of and locating minute financial details about my clients. But, as a novice at genealogical research, I was often amazed at where the richest resources were found.
I started my genealogical research in 1996, and had spent about six months pulling together bits and pieces of my mom's side of our family. I had been looking at several threads online through Cyndi's List, and had seen many people mention how great cemetery records were for getting details on ancestors. I knew my great grandmother, Laura Louise RICHARDS, had died in Cincinnati, Ohio, so one day I decided to research cemeteries in and around Cincinnati.
The first one to come up was Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum. The name itself caught my eye, so while I was on my lunch hour one day, I looked up their website (http://www.springgrove.org/SG/sg_home.shtm). Keep in mind, this was January 1997, so I expected to find basic information about the cemetery and perhaps get a phone number so I could call. However, this very technology forward cemetery had a search function that allowed me to enter a surname to locate a grave. I entered 'RICHARDS', not thinking about the fact that my great grandmother would've been buried under her married name, WERSEL. This tiny error lead me to a genealogical treasure trove!
What I found, with a few more clicks of my mouse, were 38 graves, some with names I'd never heard before, all of whom were my ancestors!! The site indicated that cemetery records were available for genealogical research, so I excitedly picked up the phone and called. The woman that I spoke with, after looking at the records, sounded almost as excited as I was. She informed me that the entire Lot 93, in Section 54 of the cemetery were my ancestors, and that she would be happy to copy the records and send them to me.
I won't forget how excited I was when I got the large envelope from the cemetery about a week later. In it was a letter and copies of the burial records for all 38 graves. Wow, just wow. Each record that looked like a large index card gave so much information! I had, of course, realized my error in looking for Laura Louise RICHARDS, instead of WERSEL, and had subsequently received my great grandmother's death certificate, so I realized that Laura Richards was my 2nd great-grandmother. As I laid the papers on the floor in a makeshift family tree, the branches began to unfold, and as I added the information into my database, I discovered I could trace these ancestors back to my 5th great-grandfather, all with reliable genealogical information!
The real challenge came in finding so many new names. There was GREENE, BURROWS, HARTSHORN(E), YEATMAN (misspelled as Geatman), WEST and WOODRUFF. My enthusiasm got the better of me, and as I entered these names into the few websites that were available, I started pulling all sorts of family trees into my database. I can't tell you how much time I spent chasing windmills, but suffice it to say that I've since learned to keep my focus on only a few individuals at a time to keep the branches strong and sturdy. Yes, the information is out there. Yes, you'll find the information you're looking for…sometimes, it just takes a really, really long time…

Hypes: Great Directional Stability in Rain
Gripes: Tight Rear Seat
Ford has mastered the art of building a cheap car that doesn't feel cheap. You won't find any telltale signs of penny pinching when you drive a Focus. The charcoal leather trimmed front seats envelop you so hospitably that three hour sittings pass without complaint. Standard five stage seat heaters ease the journey at no extra expense. Ford has crammed the standard issue Focus with such thoughtful addenda as a tilt/telescope steering wheel, one touch drop of the driver's window, remote fob lock and unlock, and push button start. Sony provides the excellent audio components, while Ford adds its own navigation unit for $795 extra. A rear view camera which displays its image on the large navigation screen is standard equipment. You'll be pleased to discover that Ford provides easily modulated dual zone climate control at no extra charge, as well as power operated and heated exterior rear view mirrors complete with wide angle inserts and built-in puddle lamps.
Yet this extensive portfolio of goodies costs just $25,500, navigation upgrade included. The cabin of the Focus Titanium is so competently organized that you could easily drive this 2,995 lb. compact hatchback across the USA without hesitation or discomfort. Especially compelling are the 17 inch Cooper Zeon RS3-A mud and snow rated tires (215/50R17) which offer a premium combination of ride comfort and responsive handling. They especially earned their stripes during a scary torrential downpour on US 101 near Gilroy where they never lost their grip on the flooded pavement.
While the 160hp output of the Focus' inline four cylinder motor may seem paltry on paper, in practice it's more than adequate for zippy but economical forays. We were able to complete a week of Bay Area commutes plus a 120 mile jaunt from San Rafael to Monterey before refilling with a paltry 9 gallons of standard grade gas. Despite this remarkable fuel efficiency (overall EPA rating of 31 MPG), the Focus never felt underpowered. Ford has achieved a rewarding balance between economic operation and responsive engine performance.
If 160hp is not enough to light your wick, consider the Focus ST, which Ford turbocharges to produce 252hp – more than enough to spin the front tires off the rims. The ST Focus is available only with a 6-speed manual transmission. Our Titanium test car eased city driving with its 6-speed automatic gearbox which includes a "Sport" mode gate. When you slot the lever into "S," you're able to control up shifts and down shifts via a rocker switch inconveniently located on the shift knob. Although this method of gear override is fairly compliant with your wishes, it occasionally decides to up shift on its own with no provocation from you. This idiosyncrasy can prove inconvenient during passing maneuvers.
While Ford offers a 5-door hatchback Focus, we spent the week driving the conventional 4-door sedan version that combines a huge trunk with a 60/40 split-fold down rear seat that gives you almost as much storage space as the hatchback but with the added benefit of more privacy for your valuables. The amount of luggage the Focus trunk swallowed without protest was a real eye opener: 2 hard shell cabin trolleys, two large soft sided duffel bags, a hard shell large plastic storage bin, and numerous paper sacks stuffed here and there. No matter what we threw at the Focus, it obligingly accepted. All this despite the fact the Ford has positioned a large, space grabbing Sony sub-woofer along the right side flank of the trunk.
Although the rear seats are tight for adults, the Focus sedan would make an ideal companion for families with two sub teen children. For that quintessential foursome, the Focus offers just the right combination of interior space, ample hidden trunk storage, and economic propulsion to make it a prime candidate for the prime American garage.
2014 Ford Focus 4-Door Titanium
- Engine: 2.0 Liter Inline 4 with Direct Injection
- Horsepower: 160hp
- Torque: 146 lb.-ft.
- Fuel Consumption: 27 MPG City/37 MPG Highway
- Price as Tested: $25,500
- Star Rating: 9 out of 10 Stars

(ARA) - A record number of people are looking for work these days. If you're not one of them, chances are you know someone who is. An Employment Situation Summary, issued Aug. 6 by the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, reported 14.6million people were unemployed in July. That's a 9.5 percent national unemployment rate, which has changed little since the beginning of 2010.
These frustrating economic conditions make it easy to get discouraged. For anyone feeling stalled in their job search, a few simple steps could put the wind back in their sails. Chasity Trzop, director of Career Services at Brown Mackie College - Louisville, supports and guides graduates through their search for employment.
"When I talk with students who are discouraged, the first question I ask is, 'What are you doing?' Nine times out of 10 they're on the computer," says Trzop. While the computer can be instrumental, a good job search utilizes additional tactics. "The computer is a passive job search. You are one of a thousand online, with about a 10 percent chance of getting an interview if you have done nothing face-to-face with the company. You must get out and interact with people," Trzop says.
Treat a job search like a job.
Trzop reminds graduates that searching for a job is a job, and should be treated as such. A good rule of thumb is to do 10 things each day in support of your job search. "Five of those things can be done online, like finding and applying for jobs, and writing e-mails to strengthen your career network. The other five things should be personal contact with people who may be able to help. Get up and meet with people face to face," says Trzop.
Join professional associations.
Students at Brown Mackie College - Louisville learn early during their academic program the importance of building a professional network. They are encouraged to join student clubs and professional associations in support of their major. The affiliations are helpful in securing an externship, and indispensable when searching for employment. Attending association functions puts you in front of people who may be hiring. "No one knows how wonderful you are if you're hiding behind your computer," Trzop says. "Go to events, and carry your resume with you."
Volunteer to apprentice without pay.
Volunteering to work without pay can go a long way toward finding a job. "Offer your service to someone in the field you want to enter. Ask if you can shadow him or her for a few days," Trzop recommends. "Who wouldn't want free labor? It's no skin off your nose if they say no." Trzop has seen many students gain on-the-job experience this way. Several proved to be so useful that the company created jobs for them.
Volunteer for community service.
Make productive use of your time. "Volunteer for any type of community service that interests you," Trzop says. It provides numerous benefits. It gets you out of the house and introduces you to new people. "You never know when you'll meet someone who may be hiring. The experience also looks great on a resume, and can fill gaps in employment," she says.
Use the phone to your best advantage.
Trzop tells graduates to keep in touch. After meeting people in the industry, call them to solidify the relationship. Ask for information on which companies may be hiring. "Make excuses for calling," she says. "If your profession requires certification, call your contacts when it comes through."
Social websites aren't just for small talk.
"More and more people are turning to social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn in their search for employment," says Trzop. "The websites make it easy to connect with others who share your interests." Brown Mackie College - Louisville has even begun to use LinkedIn to find intern candidates and promote internship fairs.
Now you are armed with specific knowledge on how to conduct your job search from a career service professional. "Keep a positive attitude and do the legwork that will put you out in front of people," Trzop says. "I tell our school's graduates, 'School is boot camp. Now go out and be a soldier.'"

Whole wheat seeded sourdough
I just made some bread from some dough that I had frozen some time ago. I didn't mark the time and type--so naughty! I pulled it out of the freezer and let it defrost for a day. Then I folded it and let it rest a bit before I put it into the basket to proof overnight. I baked it in my LaCloche baker, which helps me get a better crispier crust. I sprayed it with a little water and then sprinkled the seeds on before baking at 500 degrees for 30 minutes with the dome of the baker on and then 10 minutes with the lid off to finish the baking and browning. I am still learning and tend to experiment along the way. Not all the experiments work!
We just had this bread for lunch, and it was the best I ever made! Does the freezing really help the crumb? The crust was excellent as well. My husband said it was as good as a loaf bought in the store. This is high praise from him. I don't remember the recipe I used for this bread, but I have got to recreate it. Thanks to all for your wisdom and guidance, ideas and helpful hints. I really appreciate it.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Three weeks after a bronze-medal finish at the Eastern Sprints, the Yale lightweight varsity eight travels to the IRA National Championship on the Cooper River in Camden, N.J. Competing for the national title will be the top seven finishers from the Eastern Sprints as well as Mercyhurst, the top lightweight crew at the Dad Vail Regatta. At the Sprints, Yale led with 750 meters remaining in the race before being passed by Harvard and Dartmouth.
In order to reach the grand final and earn the right to race for the national title, Yale must finish in the top three of its heat, which will be held at 7:33 a.m. on Saturday. The Bulldogs will race Dartmouth, Navy, and Columbia. Three crews will also advance from the 7:21 a.m. heat of Harvard, Princeton, Cornell and Mercyhurst. Should Yale advance, the grand final will be held at 11:45 a.m. on Saturday.
Yale returns three members—juniors Greg Hausheer and seniors Andrew Hakanson and William Zeng—from last year's varsity eight, which placed third at Eastern Sprints and fourth at IRA's. The Bulldogs will be looking to improve on last year's IRA performance, in which they finished about a length behind national champion Princeton.
In addition to the varsity eight, the lightweights will field a pair of coxed fours at IRA's. One four will race in the new Lightweight Four event, which will feature five crews in a final-only affair on Saturday at 8:21 a.m. The Bulldogs will face crews from Cornell, Harvard, Princeton and Navy.
Yale's other four will race in the Open Fours, a heavyweight event in which in crew must feature at least one freshman and at least one upperclassman oarsman. The open four will open its regatta in a Thursday heat at 10:30 a.m. One crew will advance from Yale's heat of four, while the other three crews will be sent to the repechage. The Bulldogs will race Harvard, Cornell and Brown.
A live video stream of this year's regatta will be available online. Four cameras – two on the water, one on top of the Camden County Boathouse and one at the finish line – will be providing live coverage of every race over all three days. Live audio is also available here or over the phone at (508) 534-7389. Additionally, for those who can make it to race the ECAC will be setting up two wi-fi hotspots in the Alumni Tent Village. Spectators with laptop computers or other web-enabled devices will be able to access the live video stream (and see the first 1,500 meters of the race) with an authorized link.
