Hopping with the energy and exuberance of youth, universities are not usually associated with sclerosis, but the arteries of the University of Colorado's administrative structure are hardening before our eyes.
In his ninth year as university president, Bruce Benson turned 78 in July. Three of the four campus chancellors are 70 or older.
Benson has done a fine job stabilizing the university's leadership after Betsy Hoffman's resignation under fire in 2005 and former Sen. Hank Brown's interim stewardship awaiting a permanent replacement — Benson — who took over in March 2008.
But Benson may have taken the idea of permanence more literally than the rest of us. He is the longest-serving CU president in more than a half-century, and by all accounts he has begun to slow down. Still, he has shown no inclination to step down, and the Republican majority on the board of regents has shown little interest in pressing the point. There is no succession plan in place for Benson or the campus chancellors.
Three years ago, just after turning 75, Benson told the Denver Post he might stay another five years.
"Maybe it's seven, maybe it's four," he said then. "You get older, you start sliding — am I as coherent as I was 10 years ago? No. Do you forget names more easily? Yes. But if I start slipping, I'm going to be the first one to notice it, and I'll say, 'Hey, guys, I'll give you a year — you'd better find somebody else.' "
To this point, he has not given the board any such notice. His evaluation by the regents dragged on for several months this year, ending, as it usually does, in a finding that he "exceeds expectations."
Benson has done an excellent job as a fundraiser, arguably the top responsibility of a university president these days, presiding over the six best fundraising years in school history. He has also instituted efficiencies from the world of business that the university needed in an era of collapsing state aid to higher education.
On the other hand, he has struggled with another important aspect of the job — that of public evangelist for higher ed. Benson prefers to remain behind the scenes. Combined with a majority on the board of regents that can't seem to reconcile its duty to support higher ed with its ideological antipathy for taxes, the university system has been without a compelling public voice to address the damage done by Colorado's plummeting state aid.
There are many ways to cut the data, but measured by state funding per fulltime public university student and per $1,000 in personal income, Colorado ranks 48th and 49th nationally, according to the College Board.
Benson testified before the Legislature in support of directing the state's hospital provider fee into an enterprise fund, which would remove it from the pot of money subject to TABOR restrictions and free up funds that might be used to restore some aid to higher ed. Unfortunately, he was unable to convert the Republican regents to his position. As a result, while some 350 organizations formally asked the Legislature to make the change, CU was not one of them.
Which brings us to the race to replace term-limited Steve Bosley in one of two at-large seats on the board of regents. The Republican in the race, Heidi Ganahl of Superior, is the founder of a pet care company who has never run for office before. She declined recently to take a position on the hospital provider fee "because it's not on the table." She says the university should look to cut costs and increase fundraising. In other words, more of the same.
The Democrat, Alice Madden, represented Boulder in the Legislature for eight years, including four as House majority leader. She supports reclassifying the hospital provider fee and believes it has a chance to make it through the Legislature next year.
Because of the 5-4 party-line division on the existing board, Madden's election to replace Bosley, a Republican, would have an enormous impact. For one thing, it would give the board a Democratic majority for the first time in nearly 40 years. On many issues, including the hospital provider fee, it would flip a minority position into a majority plank and strengthen the university's support for restoring higher education funding at the Legislature.
A Democratic majority would likely turn down the volume on politically-oriented battles over stem cell research at the Anschutz campus and the three professors at the Colorado Springs campus who announced their course on man-made climate change would not entertain arguments over the validity of the science. This became a cause for outrage in right-wing media circles, including Breitbart.com. The controversy was fueled by regent John Carson and Benson, who acknowledged professors choosing a course approach is a matter of academic freedom, but called for more "balance" on the question of whether man-made climate change is real.
We strongly support freedom of speech and thought on this and other matters, but for a leading science research institution to offer a course based on the current scientific consensus should hardly be controversial.
We will not repeat here our view of the university's ham-handed takeover of the Conference on World Affairs on the Boulder campus, but we believe it's one more sign of an administration with a political agenda that brings unfortunate side effects.
If Democrats take over the board of regents, it's a good bet that a search process to find Benson's successor will begin sometime during the next two years. If Republicans retain control, whether that happens is anyone's guess, especially since the majority is so fractious it couldn't even elect a Republican chair this year.
That's not the best outcome for CU. The time to prepare for change at the top has come. We endorse Alice Madden for the at-large seat on the board of regents and we urge Democrats and unaffiliated voters voting for Hillary Clinton and Michael Bennet at the top of the ticket to make sure they read far enough down the ballot to find the third statewide race and cast a vote for Madden, too.

Chicken and dumplings is a wonderfully simple, deliciously comforting dish — a thick, meaty stew bubbling away beneath a patchwork of moist, pillowy dumplings.
So we decided to channel that comfort into a dish suited for St. Patrick’s Day. Taking inspiration from classic Irish ingredients and dishes, we came up with this over-the-top savory lamb stew with a rich broth made from beef stock, Guinness beer and fresh rosemary.
And dolloped over the top? Soda bread-style dumplings that are at once hearty and tender.

The range of children diagnosed as Aspergers syndrome has grown immensely as the diagnosis has become more popular. The diagnosis, treatment and prognosis for a high level Aspergers Syndrome child is very different than those approaching classical autism. This information focuses on higher functioning children who have been diagnosed with Aspergers. These children have problems primarily in their poor skills in social interactions, particularly with peers.
(Note: Aspergers, for search engine purposes, is also here spelled Asbergers.)
One of the most disturbing aspects of Higher Functioning children with Aspergers (HFA) is their clumsy, nerdish social skills. Though they want to be accepted by their peers, they tend to be very hurt and frustrated by their lack of social success.
Their ability to respond is confounded by the negative feedback that these children get from their painful social interactions. This greatly magnifies their social problems. Like any of us, when we get negative feedback, we become unhappy. This further inhibits their social skills, and a vicious circle develops. The worse they perform socially, the more negative feedback they get, so the worse they feel and perform.
As this feedback loop iterates, dealing with social situations for Aspergers children become similar to spending their social life on stage anxiously giving a speech. And, for the same reasons that such speeches come off clumsy, with a mechanical sounding voice, stiff gestures and forgotten lines and a turned off the audience is the same reason HFA kids fumble socially and are rejected. Because of this consistent negative social feedback, many of these children feel depressed, anxious and angry. This just compounds their social difficulties by further paralyzing them in social situations.
Reading social Cues
Though they do not appear to read social situations well, HFA children actually do .
One of my articulate patients put it well.
“I find I'm able to read people really well, but I usually don't respond accordingly.”
Though in real time social situations, HFA's may look and feel as if they do not understand what to do, that is not the real issue. Like the person who practices a speech until they sound like Cicero, but freezes on stage, it is not that they do not have the skills to give the speech. They have clearly demonstrated these skills and knowledge during practice. However, their emotional arousal keeps them from accessing their skills real time. Most Aspergers children can explain what they need to do in social situations, thus demonstrating their knowledge. However, like the public speaker, they cannot demonstrate it in the real situation.
Though my book is focuses ADHD, much of it applies equally well to HFA.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A destabilizing confrontation between Pakistan's fledgling democratic government and its powerful military is evolving into a debate over the country's controversial nuclear weapons program.
Opposition politicians characterized Asif Zardari, the president, on Sunday as bowing to U.S. policy to rollback Pakistan's nuclear weapons program. They dredged up his offer in November 2009 to abandon Pakistan's "first strike" nuclear weapons posture against India in return for a comprehensive peace agreement.
India and Pakistan have waged three wars against each other since gaining independence from British colonial rule in 1947. They conducted tit-for-tat nuclear weapons tests in May 1998.
"Our nuclear weapons are in safe hands, but they are under threat from the policymakers," Shah Qureshi, who until February was Pakistan's foreign minister, told an estimated 100,000 people at an opposition rally in Karachi.
Zardari's offer to abandon the first-strike policy was rendered irrelevant within days by the November 2009 terrorist attacks on Mumbai, India's biggest city, carried out by the Pakistan-based terorrist group Lashkar-i-Taiba.
Considered India's 9/11, the attacks over three days claimed the lives of 164 people. Subsequent tensions with India prompted Pakistan to rescind the offer.
Pakistan adopted a "first-strike" posture in 2000, citing the overwhelming superiority of India's conventional forces.
The attack by Qureshi and another former minister, Asif Ahmad, on the president's national security credentials came amid public tensions last week between the government and the military, which sparked fears of a coup.
They have clashed over claims by an American businessman, Mansoor Ijaz, that Pakistan's ambassador to Washington, Hussain Haqqani, had in May asked him to seek White House support against a brewing military coup.
Ijaz said he believed Haqqani had acted at the behest of the Pakistani president.
The affair is currently under investigation by Pakistan's parliament and Supreme Court.
The Pakistani government has dismissed the allegations, and was infuriated when its army chief and military intelligence chief last week submitted statements to the Supreme Court asserting that they believed Ijaz's claims to be true.
The military position portrayed the government as surrendering sovereignty to Washington, sparking accusations of treason against Zardari.
However, the Pakistani army chief, Gen. Ashfaq Kayani, on Friday dismissed coup fears as speculation.
Criticism of the government's national security credentials rose another notch on Monday in Pakistan's fiercely independent media, which have frequently clashed with the government since Zardari became president in September 2008.
A leading English-language daily newspaper, The News International, reported that the government consistently had reduced funding to Pakistan's nuclear weapons program since assuming office.
Most budgeted funding was being spent on salaries and the security of nuclear weapons, leaving little for further technical development, the paper reported.
Pakistan has built a 10,000-man military force to guard its nuclear arsenal, partly in response to U.S. concerns that a nuclear warhead could be seized by al Qaida or associated Pakistani militant groups.
The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, a leading global watchdog on arms proliferation, estimates Pakistan's nuclear arsenal at some 100 warheads - about 20 more than India.
The newspaper report said shortfalls in funding had led to a "technical rollback" of Pakistan's nuclear weapons program.
The office of Pakistan's prime minister, Yousaf Gilani, on Monday denied that funding had been curtailed.
The reported rollback was an apparent reference to Pakistan's decision not to respond publicly to unexpectedly rapid advances this year in India's ballistic missile program. Significantly, they have included the successful test in November of India's first "strategic" missile, the 3,500km-range Agni-IV.
The rising political rhetoric over Pakistan's nuclear weapons program coincided with the start on Monday of two days of confidence-building talks between India and Pakistan - the first in four years - aimed at reducing the risk of accidental war.
The talks also coincided with India's preparations for the test in February of Agni-V, a 5,500km-range missile dubbed the "China-killer" by Indian defense analysts.
Pakistan has, to date, not tested any missile capable of travelling more than 2,100kilometers - the maximum distance to any Indian territory when various payloads are factored in, Pakistani strategic experts said. Pakistan was unlikely to respond to India's forthcoming missile test, because its own program is technically more advanced than India's, they said.
Pakistan doesn't consider it necessary to respond provocatively by re-testing a proven capability, they said.
"It is not always a question of whose missiles go furthest. It's more a question of having the capability to control flight path and range," said Maria Sultan, a think tank chief who advises the Pakistani ministry of defense on nuclear non-proliferation.

we provide Wifi access to customers.
The basic system architecture is, customer get IP address using DHCP, but BAS limit customer access to special IP address block before customer log in. Customer log in at portal page, where policy server get username/passwed and authenticate by sending radius packets to AAA server.
We use Redback NPM with SE800 and Juniper C2k with E1440. We met two problem :
1. Could we control customer session time according to radius authentication echo message ( Session-timeout )?
it seems redback could not translate Session-timeout to its internal control policy.
2. How could we track customer status ?
we noticed some people leave hotspot without log out explicitly disconnect. There leave a lot of open session record on radius server, because no Accouting-Off packet received.
Is there any mechanism we could use to detect cliet status in Wifi environment ? ( e.g. PPPOE keepalive message )

Hi, this is Yolanda from Vanveenbulbs.
And in this segment we're going to learn about how to collect seeds from flowers.
Now it'sso rewarding to grow your own flower garden and it's really easy.
You can go to the gardencenter or farmers market and buy expensive seed packets or you can go to mail order andhave things shipped in, but you can collect your own seeds yourself and it's really easy.
And the trick is as soon as your plants are done blooming, and they've made their littleseed pods, and before it's starting to rain and freeze really hard, at night, that's thebest time to collect them.
So this is the Liatris stem, and you could dead head it andjust cut it and throw it away but this is full of seeds.
And there's thousands of plantsin there.
So an easy way to collect your seeds is just throw them in an envelope or a paperbag and you can just break them apart.
And so I just kind of take all these little piecesoff and put them in there in my envelope.
And you can break them apart into little piecesor you can just totally shatter it or leave it whole and break it up later in the springwhen you plant them.
But it's really easy to do.
So this is Liatris, I would just markthat Liatris and then I'm just going to replant those in the spring.
Or you can throw themout right now.
Now this is a little Acapanthus.
And so you can see it's making all these littleseed pods.
And inside of them there's all these little seeds.
So they're just littleblack seeds, and it takes a while for a plant to grow from a seed, so an Acapanthus mighttake five years to give you a bloom, or even longer if you start it from a seed as opposedto a root.
But it's still worth the trouble, and it's so easy, you just save them.
Anda lot of times it's best to wait til they're dry, but when I think about it and I don'thave a lot of time I'll even take some seed pods when they're a little bit green still,and a lot of times they'll dry and the seeds will still be fine.
So it's better than, youknow, throwing them out.
But you can really tell when they're ready and you open it andit's just covered with seeds.
These are just thousands of seeds in here.
And they're justreally beautiful.
So they're very easy, so make sure and mark them or wait and plantthem later.
And then this is my little bugbane, or cimicifuga plant which is also I can growby root or by seed, and the same thing, you just wait 'til the seed, the flower itselfdies back and it makes all these little seed pockets, and you just save the little seedsin the envelopes, or in a paper bag, it's really easy to do.
Now most plants make seedpods.
So this is a Canna lily.
And these are actually big seed pods, so you can turn aroundand plant those now or wait until the spring and plant them, and you'll find you'll startlots more plants.
So you don't have to save your seeds and you don't have to dead head,your plants will come back no matter what you do.
But it's also an easy way to shareyour plants with others, so I'm saving all these seeds to bring to my local garden cluband we're going to have a seed exchange at our next meeting.
It's a great way for meto share my plants with others and to maybe get some new plants from someone else.

Definition Of The Term
Water scarcity can be defined as the lack of sufficient, clean drinking water that is accessible to humans and animals of a given area. This problem can affect over 2.8 billion people for at least a month of every single year. Water scarcity affects the health of the population, power generation, eco-systems, as well as economies that rely on agriculture. Water scarcity comes in two varieties: economic and physical.
What Is Economic Water Scarcity?
Economic water scarcity involves a lack of investment and infrastructure surrounding the collection and/or distribution of water. This may be due to the lack of water itself. Flint, Michigan in the United States of America is a modern example of economic water scarcity. In this unfortunate incident, the river that provided drinking water was not treated properly, exposing over 100,000 people to unsanitary water which contained lead. Flint's water crisis started in 2014 and the issue will not be solved until at least 2020. Countries such as Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Haiti, and India, to name a few, cannot afford to fix their economic water scarcity problems. The lack of water has an adverse effect on the economy and resources of a country, as it can lead to many water-related problems going unchecked and unfixed due to the lack of resources. Economic water scarcity gets even worse in some areas due to weather, rapid population growth, political instability, and corruption.
What Is Physical Water Scarcity?
One fifth of the world's population lives with physical water scarcity - it is simply too dry for sufficient water to naturally irrigate the land and for it to even appear in certain areas. This will occur in dry, arid environments such as the Saharan Desert in Africa. One of the major consequences seen in the world today from physical water scarcity is the degeneration of the environment. This can be witnessed among African countries such as Chad and Ghana and consequently, their agricultural industry is being harshly effected. Many Africans will have to travel for hours in order to get water This problem greatly effects African women and children more than men due to the relegation of water duties usually falling upon the the latter.
Conserving Water And Reducing Water Scarcity
In order to ensure the world has enough water to drink, provide farming, to generate power, and to sustain life, many different world-wide organizations have led campaigns to conserve water internationally. A recent drought in California (which is a place historically known for water scarcity) has lead many across North America to change their water use habits. Checking your home taps for leaks, taking shorter showers, not letting the faucet run while brushing your teeth, and using your dishwasher only when full sound like small acts, but can be hugely valuable in conserving water.
One recent, novel way to solve this problem was proposed by an eco-friendly firm in the United Arab Emirates. This company proposed towing an iceberg 5,500 miles from Antarctica to the United Arab Emirates, which would take almost an entire year. The United Arab Emirates is a rich, desert country in the Middle East with little to no natural spring water sources. According to the plan, this iceberg could potentially provide drinking and irrigation water for up to a 1 million people over 5 years.


Compressed-domain processing performs a user-defined operation on a compressed video stream without going through a complete decompress/process/re-compress cycle; the processed result is a new compressed video stream. In other words, the goal of compressed-domain processing (CDP) algorithms is to efficiently process one standard-compliant compressed video stream into another standard-compliant compressed video stream with a different set of properties. Compressed-domain transcoding algorithms are used to change the video format or compression format of compressed streams, while compressed-domain editing algorithms are used to perform processing operations on compressed streams. CDP differs from the encoding and decoding processes in that both the input and output of the transcoder are compressed video streams.
A conventional solution to the problem of processing compressed video streams, shown in the top path of Figure 40.1, involves the following steps: first, the input compressed video stream is completely decompressed into its pixel-domain representation; this pixel-domain video is then processed with the appropriate operation; and finally the processed video is recompressed into a new output compressed video stream. Such solutions are computationally expensive and have large memory requirements. In addition, the quality of the coded video can deteriorate with each re-coding cycle.
Figure 40.1: Processing compressed video— the conventional pixel-domain solution (top path) and the compressed-domain processing solution (bottom path).
Compressed-domain processing methods can lead to a more efficient solution by only partially decompressing the bitstream and performing processing directly on the compressed-domain data. The resulting CDP algorithms can have significant savings over their conventional pixel-domain processing counterparts. Roughly speaking, the degree of savings will depend on the particular operation, the desired performance, and the amount of decompression required for the particular operation. This is discussed further in Subsection 3.4 within the context of MPEG compression.


The test method covers the procedure to determine the mass of test deposits formed on a circuit board partially submerged in test fluid in a bath at 150C and with 5 volts conducted through the board. The resistance in measured over the course of the 1000 hour test. Copper content of the fluid is measured by ICP.

Churches and associated groups around the globe have mobilised to send aid and assistance to those affected by Israeli attacks on Gaza and to lobby their governments for a cease-fire in the tiny territory where 1.5 million Palestinians live – writes Hans Pienaar.
News – HCEF
Three mobile health clinics, supported by DanChurchAid, a Danish aid and development group, were destroyed in a night-time Israeli air strike on 5 January. Israel says the aim of its campaign is to halt the continuous firing of rockets into its territory from Gaza.
DanChurchAid along with individuals, groups, churches and councils of churches from Kenya to Sweden to the United States to Australia are carrying out hundreds of advocacy actions involving Christians concerned about the Gaza crisis.
The World Council of Churches described the Israeli actions as "collective punishment of the people of Gaza", and said there is a "need for a just and lasting peace between the Israeli and Palestinian peoples".
The Roman Catholic Church in South Africa and the country's council of churches have offered support to a local Muslim charity's mercy mission to Gaza, "to show the South African people's sympathy with our brothers and sisters in Gaza".
The Gift of the Givers charity, based in South Africa's east coast city of Durban, is negotiating with the governments of Jordan, Egypt and Israel for safe passage of medical supplies and equipment, bottled water, food, baby milk, high-energy and protein bars, mattresses and blankets. Organizers said a Being 747 airliner is standing by to take the cargo to either Jordan or Egypt on a flight scheduled for 19 January.
The South African Council of Churches and the country's Catholic bishops conference, which is part of the church grouping, have met with the charity, the foreign ministry, and Cosatu, the largest trade union grouping in the country, to coordinate the mission.
"The GG has the capacity and we would gather the support, in order to show that the whole of South Africa supports the mission," Eddie Makue, general secretary of the SACC, told Ecumenical News International. He said the charity has shown it can organize "gigantic" missions to conflict stricken areas.
Makue stressed that the cooperation was on a humanitarian level, and that the various partners would continue to engage separately on a political level with governments and other organisations to help resolve the conflict.
GG's Imtiaz Sooliman said on the aid airlift, "This is the largest plane ever used by Gift of the Givers in its 16 years of disaster operations." He said he did not find the war zone strictures daunting. "I've been in Bosnia, Iraq and other places, with bombs falling around us."
Sooliman said that in a previous mission, during the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, GG succeeded in getting provisions through to Maronite communities cut off by the war.
In Geneva, Action by Churches Together International said in a statement on 14 January that three truckloads of food, milk and medical supplies had reached Gazans in desperate need of assistance and the agency planned to send more.
"Medical supplies have replenished scarce stocks at the Ah Ahli Arab Hospital and high-protein biscuits are being distributed to highly vulnerable children and nursing mothers who have sought refuge in UN schools and shelters," ACT said in a statement. "Dr Suhaila Tarazi at the Al Ahli hospital says the deliveries will help a lot of people; especially kids and breast feeding mothers, they have had nothing. The medical supplies will also help numerous injured people."
The WCC, the world's largest grouping of Christians with more than 500 million church members, said it has received reports of advocacy action in about 20 countries. These included statements, public demonstrations and letter campaigns addressed to government officials and parliament members. The actions are often accompanied by vigils and prayer services and collection of funds to support humanitarian relief work.
Their goals include an immediate cease-fire that ends violence against civilians on both sides of the border, free access for humanitarian aid, lifting of the blockade on Gaza, and internationally sponsored negotiations under the framework of international law as the basis for peace.
Officials in the health services run by Hamas, the Islamic Resistance Movement, in Gaza said on 14 January the death toll from nearly three weeks of military action had exceeded 1000 people, of which two thirds were civilians.

Evaluating Optimal Paths for Aircraft Subsystem Electrification in Early Design
Bendarkar, Mayank V.
Mavris, Dimitri N.
MetadataShow full item record
The aerospace industry’s push for More-Electric Aircraft (MEA) has motivated numerous studies to quantify and optimize the impact of subsystem electrification in early design phases. Past studies on multi-objective optimization of MEA show a clear benefit over conventional architectures when no constraints are placed on the number of subsystems electrified at once. In reality however, aircraft manufacturers are more likely to progressively electrify subsystems over multiple aircraft generations. While step-by-step electrification may lead to sub-optimal intermittent MEA architectures when compared with scenarios with no such imposition on number of subsystems electrified, little or no literature was found to address the optimal paths towards such electrification changes. The primary aim of this study is the creation of a mathematically defensible methodology that provides decision makers with the ability to analyze several paths for electrification of MEA subsystems while considering Pareto-optimality and other metrics based on objectives of interest in early design. It is hoped that decision makers will be able to understand the performance trade-offs between different electrification paths under different scenarios, constraints, and uncertainties. The resulting methodology is demonstrated on an exercise in the electrification of Small Single Aisle aircraft.


The Bentley Bentayga revealed: RAY MASSEY puts it through its paces in the desert around Palm Springs to see if it's worth the money
- Top speed is a blistering 187mph, with acceleration that could shame a supercar
- It’s an exceptionally smooth drive with powerful acceleration when you need it
- But you won’t save the planet. Fuel consumption averages just 21.6mpg
Bentley's first ever 4x4, the Bentayga, has hit the road – as well as the off-road track and some slippery sand dunes.
Ray Massey got behind the wheel to see if the experience justifies the price tag of £160,200.
The new Bentayga just about lives up to Bentley’s boast to be ‘the most powerful, luxurious and exclusive sports utility vehicle in the world’, though I reckon the rival Range Rover beats it on pure off-road capability.
Desert storm: The Bentayga is a rufty-tufty beast, justifying Bentley’s move into the 4x4 market
It’s a rufty-tufty beast, justifying Bentley’s move into the 4x4 market.
Sitting high behind the wheel of this luxurious leviathan is an absolute delight. You feel like a king — and the Queen is among the first customers.
It’s an exceptionally smooth drive with powerful acceleration when you need it.
Great balance and it takes corners like a train on tracks.
It has technical prowess and capability. Off-road, I hurled it at speed across desert sand dunes.
The exterior styling is bold and aggressive — and far better than the ugly prototype.
There’s huge power from the mighty 6-litre twin-turbo-charged W12 TSI petrol engine developing 600bhp — equivalent to six Ford Fiestas. Seamless acceleration is
thanks to the smooth eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox and permanent all-wheel drive.
Top speed is a blistering 187mph, with acceleration that could shame a supercar as it propelled me from rest to 62 mph in just 4.1 seconds.
Bentley took advice from five times Le Mans winner Derek Bell to make the driving feel even more engaging, tightening up the gear ratios, especially the kick-down when overtaking.
It’s simple to rotate the dial settings for on or off-road terrains. On the road, I switched easily between sport and comfort. A ‘Bentley’ setting combines the two, and ‘custom’ allowed me to create my own preferences.
Choosing an off-road option is a twist of the dial and a choice between snow and grass for slippery surfaces, dirt and gravel, mud and trail, and sand dunes for ‘surf driving’ in deep sand.
Sumptuous: For added bling, you can add the Linley Hamper by Mulliner, which costs a hefty £22,000
Inside, the sumptuous interior feels fantastic. There’s a choice of 15 leather seat covers with contrast stitching and quilted diamond design echoing the tailoring of a hunting jacket.
For added bling, you can add the Linley Hamper by Mulliner, which costs a hefty £22,000 — as much as a decent family car. The three-piece hamper has been designed in collaboration with designer and furniture maker Viscount Linley, the Queen’s nephew. The bases of the champagne glasses look like a five-spoke Bentley wheel and bottle stoppers carry the winged ‘flying B’ Bentley logo.
For real excess, there’s an optional Breitling Tourbillon clock made from solid gold and with a mother of pearl or ebony face with eight diamond indexes that will set you back £110,000.
Seventeen standard plus 90 more exterior colours means you will find a shade to suit your taste.
Fly the flag. The Bentayga is built in Crewe by a proud 4,000-strong British workforce, though Bentley is owned by Germany’s Volkswagen Group.
Time on your hands: For real excess, there’s an optional Breitling Tourbillon clock made from solid gold
The £160,200 list price is just the start. One of the cars I drove was loaded with £60,000 of extras.
You won’t save the planet. Fuel consumption averages just 21.6mpg, dropping to 14.9mpg around town, though rising to 29.4mpg cruising. But Bentley reckons the 85-litre tank will still take you 672miles.
The Bentayga name — after a mountain in the Canary Isles — is a marketing confection.
If you’re not careful, you might lose your driving licence with this 187mph bounder.

People fell onto a bag of cash like a pack of hungry piranhas after more than 100,000 dollars tumbled out the back of an armored truck onto an Ohio street, local media reported.
Mad dash as truck spills 100,000 dollars onto US street
The bag split open after it fell off the back of the vehicle Wednesday and the driver drove away without noticing.
But a whole bunch of people spotted the cash blowing down the street in Whitehall, a Columbus suburb, and a mad dash for cash ensued.
"People were jumping out of their vehicles," one witness told NBC4 news.
"Like when you throw some fish in and you've got a school of piranhas and they haven't eaten for a long time. It was funny."
Another witness described a surreal atmosphere with people laughing, smiling and taking as much as they could carry.
Workers at a nearby flower shop helped police gather up the money in boxes. Several people ended up bringing some of the cash into the police station.
But only about 10,500 dollars had been recovered by the end of the day, the Columbus Dispatch reported.
"We're hoping that more people do the right thing," Whitehall Police Sergeant Randy Snider told the paper.
Police are examining surveillance camera video and photographs from cell phone cameras to try to track down the people who grabbed the money.

National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell has been given an opportunity to end a more than two-decade fight over the Washington Redskins’ team name without having to address whether it is racist.
The Washington Redskins lost a trademark decision after a federal agency ruled the team’s name disparaged Native Americans, threatening millions of dollars in sales of everything from football jerseys to beer coolers.
Michael Sam’s jersey is the No. 2 seller among National Football League rookies, which may persuade companies to sign endorsement accords with the first openly gay player to be picked in the league’s draft.
Dish Network Corp.’s head of product management said the satellite-TV company would be interested in bidding on the rights to broadcast the National Football League’s Sunday games if rival DirecTV fails to renew its deal.


For several months the Food and Drug Administration has advised Americans to receive either the Pfizer or Moderna series of COVID vaccines as opposed to the Johnson & Johnson single-shot vaccine, but that guidance has now been strengthened as the agency is now strictly limiting the usage of the drug.
On Thursday, the FDA announced that it would impose strict limits on who can receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine amid ongoing concerns about a rare but serious side effect that could cause life-threatening blood clots in patients who receive the shot.
Here is the latest on what we know about the FDA’s change of guidance.
How Did FDA Guidance Change?
Feeling out of the loop? We'll catch you up on the Chicago news you need to know. Sign up for the weekly Chicago Catch-Up newsletter here.
As of Thursday, United States regulators have said that patients should only receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine if they are warned of the risks of doing so, and if they meet other specific criteria.
Federal officials recommend that patients needing initial COVID vaccine doses or boosters should receive the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.
Why Did the FDA Make the Changes?
The FDA has warned of the small risk of a potentially life-threatening condition associated with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, but continued research into those findings has led the department to make the change to its recommendations.
During investigation and analysis, the FDA says that there is a risk of a condition called thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, or TTS, associated with receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
The condition, while rare, can cause life-threatening blood clots, along with low levels of blood platelets. Several instances have been reported to federal regulators, which they say warrants “limiting the authorized use of the vaccine.”
Just How Rare is TTS?
Even though the FDA has advised patients to receive other COVID vaccines, the incidence of TTS in patients who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is still extremely rare.
Federal officials say that 3.23 cases of the illness have occurred per million doses of the vaccine administered. Deaths related to TTS have occurred at a rate of 0.48 per million doses of vaccine administered.
According to the FDA, TTS can lead to long-term and debilitating health consequences, and that the syndrome has a high death rate.
Can Americans Still Receive the Johnson & Johnson Vaccine?
Specific Americans can still receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, although they are required to be warned about the risk of TTS.
According to the FDA, these groups can still receive the single-dose shot series:
-Individuals who experienced an anaphylactic reaction after receiving the Pfizer or Moderna COVID vaccine.
-Individuals who have personal or religious concerns about receiving mRNA vaccines.
-Individuals who would remain unvaccinated for COVID-19 due to limited access to mRNA vaccines.

I recently bought Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2 on Xbox Live. I like it well enough, and I like how the achievements are done more this time around.
But wow, am I ever bad at this game. I can’t hit enemies, can’t avoid running into them, often head straight for them even though I know that they are there, and randomly suddenly turn around to run into enemies.
And here’s what bothers me: I keep saying (or yelling, depending) things like “What??” or “I wasn’t there!” or “There’s no possible way that I went that direction!”
As I see it, there are only a couple of options here:
- The games has collision detection or control issues
- What I am seeing or interpreting is not what is actually happening
There is something wrong when I see that I have plenty of room between my character and the enemy and then I suddenly die from running into the enemy that I know wasn’t close enough to touch me. Either there is something wrong with the game, or there is something wrong with me, and it’s more likely that there’s something wrong with me.
I can live with this when playing online games. I can chalk things like obviously shooting someone in the head (there’s even blood on his face!) or being killed after I duck around a corner up to network lag, but in a single player game that isn’t played online, I have no other excuse. If it were a skill issue and I was just being overwhelmed with enemies or was bad at aiming (which may be a factor) I would be fine, but I will do things like run directly into the very first enemy I see, even though I know it’s there and I am trying not to do it.
And this is frustrating.
I’m not quite sure what my point is with all of this, but this is something that is frustrating and reduces my enjoyment of the game. Perhaps other people experience similar things? Maybe this really all can be chalked up to my being bad at the game?

The Borough Market Book
From London’s “best kept secrets” to being voted “the best market in Britain” by Observer Food Monthly magazine, Borough’s Market’s renaissance has been a fascinating journey of rediscovery.
Known today as bustling retail food market that prides itself on its quality and diversity of produce, for much of a last century the market has known better for its thriving wholesale fruit and vegetable trade.
For over a thousand years a market has been present here on the south side of London Bridge in the Borough Southwark, providing sustenance for Londoners and citizens of the southeast of England, and a backdrop of London’s most colourful history.
The Borough Market Book celebrates what can be achieved when people, place and politics collaborate to bring to market the highest standards and raise a clarion call for markets throughout Britain.

Press Release Summary:
UL has announced that its Board of Trustees has adopted a resolution to create a new for-profit testing and certification subsidiary, which would become a subsidiary of the existing not-for-profit parent company. According to UL Board Chairman Fred R. Marcon, the decision is intended to reinforce the UL's public safety mission by enhancing its growth, competitiveness, and agility in an increasingly complex global marketplace for testing and certification.
Original Press Release:
UL Announces Intent to Establish For-Profit Testing and Certification Subsidiary
NORTHBROOK, IL (August 28, 2007) - Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a world leading product safety standards and testing organization, today announced that the company's Board of Trustees has adopted a resolution to create a new for-profit testing and certification subsidiary. The for-profit entity would become a subsidiary of UL's existing not-for-profit parent company.
According to UL Board Chairman Fred R. Marcon, the decision, taken at UL's August 22 Board meeting, is intended to reinforce the company's public safety mission by enhancing UL's growth, competitiveness and agility in an increasingly complex global marketplace for testing and certification.
Marcon stated that, "Since our founding in 1894, UL's mission has always been, and continues to be, to promote safe living and working environments for people by the application of safety science and hazard-based safety engineering. While our parent company will remain as a not-for-profit enterprise, we believe that a for-profit subsidiary company will provide us access to new resources that will enable UL's management, led by CEO Keith Williams, to vigorously pursue our mission globally with the quality, integrity and independence that are our hallmarks."
Williams stressed that the competitive advantage of a for-profit subsidiary would accelerate the company's efforts to advance its mission. "Safe living and working environments are a basic expectation of people around the world. UL plays a critically important role, collaborating with governments, industry, retailers, consumers and international bodies to create and implement standards and testing that lead to safer environments. Our independence, combined with new and increased resources, will allow us to pursue this mission more robustly in more parts of the world and allow us to enter new areas where our unique knowledge and skills can contribute to a safer world."
UL expects to set a timetable for establishment of the new subsidiary after consultation with the organization's members and various regulatory and accrediting bodies.

Mathura School of Art
The sculpture marvels excavated in Mathura offer an insight into Indian art from ancient times to the medieval period. The art reached its zenith from the first to the fifth century AD when the Gupta kings and Kushans were in power.
Kushans ruled over a vast land in North India from 1 AD to 175 AD. Mathura School of Art was one of the two schools of sculptural art which developed during this period. The other was Gandhara School of Art.
What is Mathura School of Art?
The Gandhara school of Art was based on Greco-Roman norms adopting foreign techniques while the Mathura school of Art was totally Indian. It was the outcome of the religious zeal of Brahmanism, Buddhism and Jainism. It was also influenced by Gandhara art which was manifested in its sculptures.The sculptures of the Buddha as well as beautiful women were made under this school of art. Significantly, the Buddha was given human form and sculptured in stone under this school of art during Kushan period.
The Art gave Buddha a three dimensional effect and carved in bold relief. Broad shoulders, masculine torso and right hand raised in abhaymudra are some of the characteristics of the Buddhist sculpture. The Mathura School of Art flourished further in the Gupta period when the Buddhist sculptures had sharp and beautiful features, graceful and slim body, with several folds of transparent drapery.

The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has revealed why Nigeria is suffering from bad leadership.
Wike explained that the faulty electoral system in Nigeria has resulted in poor political leadership in the country.
The governor spoke at the 59th Independence Anniversary parade in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
He stated that it was shameful that Nigeria cannot deliver a free and fair election, adding that bad governance coupled with endemic corruption and mismanagement had ruined the country’s economy.
According to Wike: “We pride ourselves as a democratic nation, yet for 20years, our electoral process has remained widely fraudulent and incapable of delivering free and fair elections.
“Yet, we are shamefully carrying on as if all is well, resisting every attempt at providing a credible electoral system, and not minding the monumental damage this has caused and continues to cause to the character and quality of our politics, leadership recruitment and nation-building.
“But today, it’s more like 59 years of wasted dreams, mismanaged opportunities and hope deferred for our country and our people as disunity, mutual mistrust, intolerance, hatred and violence continue to corrode the fragile walls that feebly bind the nation.”

What sort of budget would you need for a Maldives honeymoon?
We would recommend a budget of anywhere from £1,500-3,500 (€1,750-4,000) per person and up!
How do I get there? And are there any must-see stops along the way?
You can fly direct during our winter months with British Airways. Or indirect year round with most middle eastern carriers such as Emirates, Etihad, or Oman Air. With these routes, it creates the perfect twin centre as you will be stopover over in one of these cities - city and beach at it's best!

What's the most romantic part of a Maldives honeymoon?
The most romantic part of a honeymoon in the Maldives would have to be a private dining experience. You can either do this on a private island, sandbank or just on the beach. Often you will have a menu prepared for you with paring wines. Throughout the meal it will just be you and your loved on and the waiter who will be at your beckon call! Listen to the waves on the beach, watch the stars in the sky and enjoy some of the finest food and wine in the world.
What sort of couple would a honeymoon in the Maldives suit?
Everyone! Most people think its not for anyone looking to be active but you would be surprised how easy it is to fall in to island life. Keep yourselves amused with a walk around the island, visit the top restaurants, read a good book, go snorkelling and diving, have a go at paddle boarding and boat trips to name a few.

Apple CEO Tim Cook blasted Silicon Valley tech companies and their abuse of user privacy in a keynote address at a privacy conference in Brussels Wednesday, saying personal information is being “weaponized against us with military efficiency.”
“Every day, billions of dollars change hands, and countless decisions are made, on the basis of our likes and dislikes, our friends and families, our relationships and conversations. Our wishes and fears, our hopes and dreams,” Cook said. “These scraps of data, each one harmless enough on its own, are carefully assembled, synthesized, traded, and sold.”
“Your profile is then run through algorithms that can serve up increasingly extreme content, pounding our harmless preferences into hardened convictions,” Cook said.
Apple and its chief executive have long touted personal privacy, distancing themselves from recent, growing scandals among tech companies — but the comments from Cook are some of the strongest to date.
He said the business of selling ads against personal data has become a “data industrial complex,” but stopped short of naming tech giants like Facebook and Google in his criticisms. However, Facebook and Google are the two largest companies that make money selling ads the way Cook described.
“We shouldn’t sugarcoat the consequences. This is surveillance. And these stockpiles of personal data serve only to enrich the companies that collect them,” Cook said. “This should make us very uncomfortable. It should unsettle us.”
Cook’s comments at the 40th International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners (ICDPPC) received warm applause in the Belgian capital.
Many of the world’s data protection regulators gathered in Brussels — a city increasingly at the forefront of tech regulation — as the conference coincided with the introduction of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) earlier this year.
GDPR refers to a piece of legislation that aims to give consumers control of personal data collected by tech companies. It came into force in May, just weeks after the Cambridge Analytica data misuse scandal enveloped Facebook — and raised the profile of data protection as a consumer need.
The scandal also prompted governments worldwide to finally consider taking action against an often-overlooked area of law. But, U.S. lawmakers are seen as lagging behind their European peers.

Want access to over 70,000 radio stations all over the world? With TuneIn Radio for Windows Phone you get your favorite music, sports, and news from around the globe on your smartphone. The app has been wildly popular on Windows Phone, but has had its shares of ups and downs on the platform. Looks like we’re about to have another up as the app has just been updated. Let’s check it out.
TuneIn Radio is a multi-platform app that gives users access to their favorite radio stations no matter where they are. The last news update we had for TuneIn Radio was in March of this year. It was then that the app was updated, but in doing so lost the ability to run on some devices, a big down for users. If you were on Windows Phone 8, you needed at least 1GB of RAM to use TuneIn Radio. Devices like the Lumia 520 and 620 couldn’t access it. Does TuneIn Radio version 3.0 address that? Yes, it loaded up just fine on our Lumia 520.
You’re also getting an app with a redesign. TuneIn Radio is sporting some fresh threads in the latest version 3.0 update that makes it look really awesome. Performance was mixed at first, but that could be our spotty data connection here.
With TuneIn Radio you’re able to find radio stations and can sorts stations by trending, categories (like music, talk, sports, news, etc), location, and language. It’s a wonderful app for when you’re travelling, but don’t want to miss out on the programming from your favorite radio station back home.
Want to get TuneIn Radio for Windows Phone 8? Grab it in the Windows Phone Store, use the QR code below, or swipe to the right in our app.
Thank you everyone for the tips!
