NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A Brooklyn family has an extra reason to celebrate this Father’s Day.
Wilbert Gibson, the father of an NBA star, will be spending the weekend at home after a life-saving heart transplant.READ MORE: Columbia University Student Davide Giri Stabbed To Death Near Morningside Park; Suspected Gang Member In Custody, Sources Say
“I automatically know how I’m gonna feel when I walk out these doors. I’m gonna feel so proud,” Gibson said.
Three months ago, a simple checkup revealed he was on the brink of death. A rare disorder immediately put him on the heart transplant list. He hasn’t left the hospital since.
“The doctors constantly telling me ‘Mr. Gibson we’re gonna get you a heart.’”
Through it all his family has been by his side, day and night. That includes his son, NBA player Taj Gibson.
“My mom gave me a phone call that my dad needs a heart transplant,” the Minnesota Timberwolves forward said.
“My dad is the strongest man I’ve known growing up, so for him to be in this part of his life and need a heart it was a traumatic situation.”
Fewer than 200,000 cases of Amyloidosis are diagnosed, but the number of people effected is reportedly much higher.READ MORE: FDNY Probationary Firefighter Vincent Malveaux Dies After Medical Episode During Training Exercise
“Three to four percent of African Americans carry this mutated gene and are at risk of developing this disease. It’s felt to be an ‘orphan disease’ but it’s far from being an orphan,” Dr. Donna Mancini, a cardiologist at Mount Sinai Hospital explained.
That means more than one million people may be effected by this disorder and don’t even realize it.
“Encourage the wives to make their husbands go to the doctor even if they don’t want to, because no woman wants to become a widow,” Sharon Gibson, Wilbert’s wife said.
Wilbert got his new heart two weeks ago. His body and his new heart are beating strong.
“I’ve been trying to get a feel for it in the last two weeks. It hasn’t told me anything yet, but it’s shown me it’s willing to work with my body,” the transplant recipient said.
“What’s this weekend going to be like?” CBS2’s Steve Overmyer asked.
“A celebration! Everything up here! I’ll just be happy to be home,” Gibson said.

I’ve been drawing lots of pups lately! This week’s time lapse is a sweet Pit Bull mix who loves to chew on deer antlers and she is ready for the gender reveal party to figure out if she’s getting a little brother or sister.
She’s part of a fingerprint guestbook where guests will add either a pink or blue fingerprint to guess the gender of the baby. Then it can be framed and added to the nursery decor as a keepsake!
This customer actually came to me a few years ago for a custom fingerprint poster for her friend, and now it’s her turn! I love that I get to walk along side my customers and see how their families grow!
I’m sure you can tell, I’m definitely not a professional pet portrait artist, but I’ve got a simple style all my own 😉

Federal mental health assistance may gain traction in the House as lawmakers consider expanding Medicare for some services and creating behavioral health grants for areas with Covid-19 surges.
Mental health and substance abuse treatment advocates say they need money to help clinics and health-care providers stay in business as the coronavirus pandemic keeps many from seeking treatment.
“We need to keep the lights on,” said Andrew Kessler, founder and principal of Slingshot Solutions LLC, a consulting firm that specializes in behavioral health policy.
The U.S. was already facing a mental health and addiction crisis before the pandemic struck: Suicide and drug overdoses killed more than 100,000 Americans annually between 2015 and 2019, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee reviewed 22 mental health bills Tuesday and Democratic leaders signaled the legislation could come to the House floor this year, possibly as part of the next coronavirus-relief package.
Democrats blamed the Trump administration for failing to send already-appropriated money to behavioral health providers.
Congress appropriated funds but the government has “been too slow to release them,” said Rep.
Problem Made Worse
In 2018, 128 people died in the U.S. after overdosing on opioids, CDC data show. Drug overdose fatalities rose by more than 10% for the first four months of 2020 compared with the same period in the previous year, according to the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.
The spread of the coronavirus has fueled cases of anxiety and depression. One survey, by Mental Health America from February, found 88,000 more Americans nationwide were found to have anxiety or depression compared with just three months before.
Many drug treatment centers and mental health providers are struggling financially, and have yet to benefit from government funds for those affected by the coronavirus.
Congress appropriated $175 billion to provide Covid-19-related relief to hospitals and other health providers in the CARES Act (
Most of the distributions have been built around Medicare, sending money to providers based on their previous Medicare revenue, Kessler said. Behavioral health providers, particularly substance abuse treatment providers, typically handle far more beneficiaries of Medicaid, the health-care program for the poor, than those covered by Medicare, which serves the elderly and disabled, he said.
Mental health services have been “chronically underfunded” in the U.S. for decades, Patrick Kennedy, a former congressman and Founder of the Kennedy Forum, a behavioral health advocacy group, told the committee.
This year Congress has dedicated $425 million to behavioral health through the CARES Act, yet the economic decline created by the spread of the virus likely will result in billions of dollars in cuts to Medicaid by states in the next year, Kennedy warned. Funding for behavioral health amounts to less than 1% of the total spending in the CARES Act, he said.
“It all revolves around the money,” he said. “As we know you see what’s important based on what you spend your money on.”
Republicans and Democrats on the panel agreed that Congress needs to address the mental health challenges worsened by the coronavirus, yet differed over more than half the bills the panel reviewed.
Eshoo said the bills would help health-care providers better meet the increasing demand for their services.
“The pandemic is fueling mental health problems while also hurting the ability for caregivers to deal with the crisis,” the California Democrat said.

Column: Transformer maintenance
A century of dissolved gas analysis – part I
Electricity powers the world and is an indispensable product for humanity, almost like water and food. This energy category needs two types of materials which make it feasible – electrical conductors and electrical insulators. In practice, no one can afford to use ideal conductors and insulations matrixes. Accordingly, the industry has to compromise with the best available materials at acceptable prices. Power transformers, like any other electrical device, have to contain these two types of materials. The most advantageous insulation media for most power transformers today is liquid insulation combined with solid insulation for both mechanical and electrical strength. It is well known that increases in temperature of conductive and insulating materials decrease their capabilities to conduct and to isolate the electricity, respectively. Temperature positive feedback deteriorates the properties of both media, conductors and insulators, exponentially. One of the advantages of using liquid insulating in electrical equipment is having a potential log data of all malfunctions of the transformer or other electrical equipment. In dry and gas insulation these information sources of faulty conditions are practical inexistent or hard to achieve, at least nowadays, but that may change in the future. If the oil reservoir is accessible for sampling, the operational data can be extracted without disturbing the exploitation of the equipment. For limited oil volume devices, obtaining a sample can be more complicated and can impose special restraints. Most liquid-immersed power transformers and other liquid immersed devices are enabled for obtaining a representative oil sample in reasonably safe conditions. These oil samples contain around 70 % of operational data. The most important and significant test for evaluating transformer condition is the dissolved gas analysis – DGA. This test contains the greatest amount the operational data. The main benefit of DGA is the unique advantage of being potentially capable of predicting the majority of the failures and evaluating the health state of transformers. Of course, it cannot assist in preventing all of the internal failures. Also, a great percentage of the issues detected inside the transformer are not vital and without the DGA it is plausible that transformer may be able to operate until the planned end of life even if it produces gases.

The Retirement Reality TimelineMarch 6th, 2019 by Jim Allen
It’s Time to Get Ready for Retirement
As you approach your mid-fifties there are some important milestones to be aware of as it pertains to getting ready for retirement. Whether it is your IRA or 401(k), Social Security, or Medicare here are some important dates you should know:
50 – You are eligible to make additional “catch up” contributions to your IRA and 401(k).
55 – If you “separate from service” (leave) your employer, you can take a distribution from your 401(k) without the 10% early distribution penalty. This exception doesn’t apply to IRAs.
59 ½ – You can start taking distributions from your IRA or 401(k) without the 10% early distribution penalty tax.
62 – This is the earliest age you can claim Social Security retirement benefits. Note – your benefits are reduced 25-30% for claiming early.
65 – This is the age you sign up for Medicare. Signing up late may cause you to incur a 10% penalty on your Part B premiums.
66/67 – This is the age you are eligible for full Social Security retirement benefits. The actual age depends on the year you were born. Anyone born after 1962 has age 67.
70 – Waiting until age 70 gives you the maximum Social Security benefit.
70 ½ – You must start taking “required distributions” from your IRA and any employer retirement plans such as a 401(k). There is an exception for employer retirement plans if you are still working for that employer.
Getting ready for retirement requires thoughtful preparation, and using a financial professional to navigate these important dates can help you avoid any landmines and maximize your retirement income. If you would like to discuss your retirement income plan, please contact us for a complementary retirement review. �s*

New Install Superheat
I helped starting up a new supermarket installation which I helped install. Was told to check and adjust all superheats to 6 degrees. Was instructed to adjust exactly as Nanotech described in this post with several additional steps.
We locked the eepr to 100% and made sure the case temp was at design temp.
I noticed the suction pressure was always fluctuating, due to other circuits, which I imagine made the txv hunt all over the place.
Seems to me there may be a better method. Do whatever you have to do to make the suction pressure remain constant, as in turn off some compressors, valve off some cases, etc… Once you get that adjust the superheat. The txv shouldn’t be hunting all over the place and the superheat should be relative constant. Open or close the valve as needed.
So will this work? If not, why.
I would let the epr do its job. Txv needs steady loading to stabilize it will maintain superheat setting w/ a modulating epr. Just make sure tstat call for cooling is constant.
Sporlan bulletin 90-21-1 describes it will.
"When adjusting both evaporator pressure regulating valves and thermostatic expansion valves, the following procedure is recommended.
With the expansion valve at the Sporlan factory setting, or at a manufacturer's predetermined setpoint, and under the actual minimum load condition, the evaporator pressure regulating valve should be adjusted to the desired setting.
If necessary, the thermostatic expansion valve or valves can be adjusted to the desired superheat setting while under the normal operating load condition"
Maybe I am not explaining myself fully. I am not worried about the eepr. When we are done with checking superheat, we put the eepr in auto mode. The eepr along with the microprocessor will maintain case temp. I am only concerned about checking and adjusting the superheat. These medium temp cases are empty so I have minimium load. The suction pressure is fluctuating 10#s. Not only is the suction pressure constantly changing so is the suction temperature. This makes checking and adjusting superheat difficult at best.
A guess at the worst.
Seems to me there has to be a better way.
Darn. I thought someone had tried method of adjusting superheat. Oh well.
If you are using an EEPR and your suction pressure is swinging 10#...your EMS programming is wrong for that valve.
Yea, but the micro was in learning mode. We locked the evaporator eepr 100% open while checking each superheat. I was explained the way this unit operates is the eepr maintains case temp. Opens when it is above set point and closes when it is satisfied. So when this is running normally it probably maintains a fairly consistant suction pressure. Not even sure if this thing has liquid line solenoid valves. I’ll check a unit tomorrow. The compressors cycle to maintain the suction pressure set point which is probably also set by the micro. When we were done adjusting all the superheats, we put the micro in learning mode again so it can “learn” when all cases are running.
Originally Posted by Phase Loss
This is my first experience with electronic epr’s. I’ve adjusted many manual ones in my years. On manual eprs you set them to the design suction and then adjust the superheat. My thinking on this type of system is get the suction consistent and then adjust the superheat. Should work.

- British Comedy Guide: Racing Minds answers 10 Edinburgh Fringe Questions
Full press release
Having now established themselves as one of the leading comedy improv groups at the Fringe, Racing Minds return to the Pleasance this year with their total sell-out, critically acclaimed long-form improv show Aaaand Now For Something Completely Improvised. With more props to hand, more costumes to don and more space to play in, this year will be bigger and better than ever!
The audience immediately take control as the show opens and they decide the name of the main character, his hidden secret, the starting location and the title of the story, and the rest is completely, as promised, improvised. With no script or plot (and usually the daftest of scenarios thanks to Fringe audience's imaginations) each show is totally unguided, entirely unpredictable and undoubtedly one of the finest and most unique hours you will catch at the Fringe. And better still, its family friendly and suitable for all ages!
Formed in 2010 by members of the Oxford Imps, Daniel Roberts, Tom Skelton, Chris Turner, Dougie Walker and Dylan Townley immediately won their fan-base at the Free Fringe in 2011 and packed out their venue every single day. A return in 2012 promised the same, and the Pleasance soon snapped them up the following year where they went on to sell out their entire run in 2013 and 2014, and in February this year they sold out a ten-night run at the Perth Fringe World, securing a nomination for 'Best Comedy Show'. Their completely improvised fifties-style comic radio play podcast The Wireless Podcast also proved a great success with over half a million followers on SoundCloud, promising the comedy industry stars in the making.
Chris Turner is an award winning stand-up comedian, with over 1.8 million views on YouTube; appearances on NBC's Last Comic Standing and RTL4's The Comedy Factory, and a comedy album Pretty Fly out on the renowned New Wave Entertainment record label. His debut solo show won the Amused Moose People's Choice award for best show at the Edinburgh Fringe 2014, with many of his jokes featuring in 'Best Jokes of the Fringe' lists in national newspapers. His new show for 2015, XXV, has already toured to Perth Fringe World, where it was nominated for Best Comedy.
Daniel Roberts has racked up improv experience at the fringe with The Oxford Imps, Impromptu Shakespeare, Adventure Incorporated, Captains of Industry and No Strings: The Improvised Puppet Musical. He has directed and edited various comedy films and sketches, is a regular guest with Chortle Award Winners Austentatious, and will be making his solo debut in 2015 with the daft and duplicitous character show Asp (Freestival, 5pm).
Tom Skelton has helmed The Oxford Imps, appeared with The Story Pirates and Adventure Incorporated, and written, directed and starred in the five-star comedy Freshwoman. He runs popular monthly comedy night Tuesday Chuckles, has worked on videos and workshops with the award-winning History Bombs, and is set to take to the airwaves in The Holiday After Tomorrow, a new impromptu radio sitcom alongside some of the stars of the UK improv scene. His solo debut Foolball kicks off at Underbelly this Fringe (1.40pm).
Douglas Walker has been performing improvised comedy for over 10 years, including as a founding member of Brighton institution Off the Cuff, and as an ex-director of the Oxford Imps. His recent credits include everything from lending his voice to an election campaign video for the Green Party, to giving a guest lecture on improvised comedy at the University of Westminster and regularly contributing to one of London's most innovative events, Stand Up Philosophy. This year he is performing his first solo show at the Fringe, Moglich (Just the Tonic, 2pm).
Dylan Townley provides the virtuoso soundtrack to Racing Mind's comedy adventures from the piano - switching to guitar, drums, accordion and even the mighty triangle as the story demands. He is a versatile musician and actor, having toured Shakespeare to Japan and around the UK, music-directed renowned physical theatre group Dancing Brick, and garnered rave reviews with the toe-tapping Peablossom Cabaret (Thistle Hotel, 8.35pm). This year he can also be seen MCing Shitfaced Showtime (Underbelly Ermintrude, 6.30pm) and premiering the thrilling new Adventures of the Improvised Sherlock Holmes (Just the Tonic at Old Foundry, 3pm).

Cashes Out: Vinyl LPLPEL215
Label: Earth Libraries
Release Date: 26th May
This is a bit of us, a little smidge of Prince a dash of Bobby Palmer, the power pop of Dwight Twilley, there's moments where he sounds like a cosmic Bruce Springasteen... RBG aka Kevin Basko is dead good putting together sounds, he's done bits with Lemon Twigs and Eric Slick, after all and they ain't getting someone in who can't put down that legit golden age of studio sound.
Kevin Basko released more albums in 2019 than most artists do in their entire career - The New Jersey indie rocker released handfuls of records in the first seven years under the moniker Rubber Band Gun -- not to mention producing, engineering, and performing with everyone from Eric Slick to the Lemon Twigs
But when Basko's friend and collaborator Jonathan Rado of Foxygen quipped that he should release 25 albums in a single year, the Rubber Band Gun 25 sprang to life. And at the heart of that diverse collection of records is Cashes Out (out now via Earth Libraries), a record that not only stands as the first vinyl release for the project, but also showcases the dazzling and dizzying heights that Rubber Band Gun psych-tinged bedroom rock can reach.

With the 2022 FIFA World Cup less than a month away, U.S. men’s national team head coach Gregg Berhalter is putting the finishing touches on his 26-man roster for the tournament in Qatar.
After missing the 2018 World Cup in agonizing fashion, the USMNT endured a long four-year cycle during which dozens of players helped the U.S. return to qualification. In the process, each player made his case for a spot at the tournament in Qatar.
The USA has by far the youngest overall player pool of any team at the 2022 World Cup based on qualifying matches, with an average age of 23.82 through the 14 CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers, nearly a full two years younger than anyone else who qualified for the World Cup, according to U.S. Soccer.
All U.S. fans will be eagerly awaiting the eventual announcement of the 26-man squad to take the field for FIFA’s showcase tournament which starts Nov. 20.

When does USMNT announce World Cup team?
The USA will announce its 26-man World Cup roster on Wednesday, Nov. 9 at 5 p.m. ET.
Gregg Berhalter will pare down his preliminary roster, which featured 35-55 players and was due to be submitted to FIFA on Friday, October 21. It’s from this original provisional list that he will select his final 26 names who will be available for match selection in Qatar. The United States chose not to make its provisional roster public.
Any injury replacements are permitted only up to the team’s first match at the 2022 FIFA World Cup (USA open play on Nov. 21) and must come from the original preliminary roster.

Who will make the USMNT 2022 World Cup team?
The likes of Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, and Tyler Adams are sure to be locks on the roster if healthy, as they look to lead the United States to victory at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. However, there are a number of places still up for grabs.
Most notably, there are questions at center-back. Walker Zimmerman is a lock to not only make the roster but start in defense, but his partner is at this point uncertain thanks to a long-term injury to Miles Robinson. Cameron Carter-Vickers, Aaron Long, and Erik Palmer-Brown are all in contention.
Up front, the striker spot is also in question. Jesus Ferreira seems likely to be the starter for the U.S., but he hasn’t exactly secured his spot, and there are many who could press him for time. Still, the likes of Ricardo Pepi, Josh Sargent and Jordan Pefok will first need to secure a spot on the roster before pushing for playing time — and goals — in Qatar.
Here are some early media reports on potential roster selections and absences:

Evaluating theatre's actual contribution to social development is subjective. There is a specific field of study that has been born from the need to incorporate all theatre outside the mainstream that seeks to do more than entertain an audience: “Applied Drama” or “Applied Theatre.” This study argues that through the process of creating the play Crawling with Monsters a group of UTPA students were empowered to make social change and ended up doing a critically acclaimed applied drama project regarding Mexico's drug war. After an introduction to the formation of the group and the situation to which it was responding, Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed provides a theoretical basis for looking at the experiences of the group and at several interviews with the participants; we see how this production changed their perspectives and encouraged them to become contributors of social development.

The first vaccine to guard against chikungunya virus-related illness has been approved, the US Food and Drug Administration announced on Thursday.
For adults who are more likely to contract the virus, Valneva Austria GmbH’s single-dose vaccine Ixchiq is authorized. Fast track and breakthrough therapy designations were given to Ixchiq.
A mosquito-borne illness that can be crippling or even fatal for newborns, chikungunya (meaning “bending over in pain” in the Makonde dialect of Africa) has no known cure.
Despite the fact that deaths and serious illness are uncommon, the World Health Organization reports that there have been at least 5 million cases in the previous 15 years, making it an emerging concern for global health made worse by climate change.
Symptoms of Chikungunya
Based on the FDA, the most typical signs of chikungunya are fever and excruciating joint pain that can last for months or even years. Rashes, headaches, and muscle aches are some additional symptoms.
The FDA further stated that newborns born to pregnant women are at risk of serious and even fatal complications from the chikungunya virus. In order to manage pain and fever, doctors advise infected individuals to rest, stay hydrated, and take over-the-counter medications.
Currently, the illness can be treated for chikungunya infections with a single injection into the muscle.
According to officials, the vaccine contains a live, weakened strain of the virus that could cause symptoms resembling those of the illness.
Ixchiq Side Effects
Officials stated that headache, fatigue, joint and muscle pain, fever, nausea, and injection site tenderness were the most frequently reported adverse effects of the Ixchiq vaccine.
Per experts, severe reactions similar to chikungunya that interfere with day-to-day activities are rare; only 1.6% of vaccine recipients and none of the placebo recipients needed medical assistance.
In response to the FDA, the Ixchiq vaccine was assessed in two clinical trials conducted in North America.
Approximately 3,500 participants, who were at least 18 years old, were given a dose of the medication, while approximately 1,000 participants received a placebo.

With David Silva having departed the Etihad Stadium for a move to LaLiga’s Real Sociedad, Pep Guardiola has to find the right player to slot in, in the Spaniard’s place.
No easy task when you consider just how much of an influence Silva was during what was Manchester City’s golden decade.
However, young Phil Foden certainly isn’t fazed by the idea of taking on Silva’s mantle, even though there’s an appreciation of how difficult it will be to do so.
Part of the reason will be that the 20-year-old has only had a cameo role with City to this point, so there’s plenty to learn.
“I am hoping so (getting a regular start in the team) but there are a lot of midfielders still and a lot of quality in the team,” Foden said in quotes published by the Daily Mail.
“[Guardiola] is not going to just give me that position easily. Everyone has to train well and play well so it depends on me playing well enough to get that shirt. So yes, it is down to me.
“I am only 20 years old; A lot of people have been pushing it for me to play in the senior team much earlier but I haven’t played a lot of games at Man City.
“Recently, I have played a lot more and I have been doing well so I have had to work hard for the opportunity. Now I have got it, I am just trying to give it my best I can do and just enjoy it really. That’s what I am trying to do.
“I played in some massive games last year in cup finals and big Champions League games. They are the games that everyone wants to play in.
“Sometimes it is difficult for a young player to play in those games but I think he has been patient with me and played me at the right times. I am learning a lot and I feel ready to go.”
It’s a breath of fresh air to hear a young player ready to assume the responsibility of replacing a club legend.
Foden’s confidence has never been in doubt, and with regular international honours under his belt too, his star will continue to shine.
At this stage the world really is his oyster, and if he comes anywhere close to being the player David Silva was, Manchester City will be very happy indeed.

The first of two volumes of Hasht Bihisht (Eight Paradises) by Idrīs Bidlīsī (d. 1520), originally comprised a single manuscript bound together with Persian MS 396. The complete work chronicles the reigns of the first eight Ottoman sultans, ending with Sultan Beyazid II (b. 1447, r. 1481–1512), who the author served as an administrator in various locations throughout the empire. The final section relates particularly valuable eyewitness accounts that occurred during his patron's reign. Most notably, his richly nuanced, ornate Persian prose literary style interspersed with lines of poetry dramatically departs from works by prior Ottoman historians. A scribe named Muḥammad Yūsuf Shīrāzī completed this manuscript in Ṣafar 1063 AH (Jan. 1653 CE).

Tesla Offers an Infinite-Mile Warranty for the Model S
While buying a Tesla Model S requires customers to fork out at least $69,000, owning one is more than affordable, given the fact that you don’t have to visit the gas station unless you need a sandwich and a soda. As of August 2014, current and future owners have one more reason to be happy with their all-electric sedan, as Tesla has extended the drive unit warranty for the 85 kWh sedan to match that of the battery back. Specifically, both the battery and the drivetrain now benefit from an eight-year, infinite-mile warranty.
The good news expands even further, as the rule doesn’t apply only to newly purchased vehicles. The warranty extension will apply retroactively to all 85 kWh Model S sedans ever produced. What’s more, the new warranty extends upon resale of the Tesla S too, no matter the number of owners, meaning the used-car market benefit from Tesla Motors’ gesture of generosity.
"If we truly believe that electric motors are fundamentally more reliable than gasoline engines, with far fewer moving parts and no oily residue or combustion byproducts to gum up the works, then our warranty policy should reflect that," Elon Musk explained in a statement.
The new warranty only applies to 85 kWh and 85 kWh Performance models. The former comes with 362 horsepower and costs from $79,900, while the latter carries a $93,400 sticker and cranks out 416 ponies. The entry-level 60 kWh version benefits from the same four-year, 50,000-mile warranty as before.
Click past the jump to read more about the Tesla Model S.
Why It Matters
Although the Model S has been reported to suffer from very little reliability issues, Tesla is obviously aiming at assuring its future customers that any drivetrain and battery repairs or replacements will be taken care of at no cost. It’s also a big blow to the conventional, gasoline/diesel vehicle market, which only offers three- to four-year warranties and require additional fees for extended them to cover up to seven years.
Introduced for the 2012 model year, the Tesla Model S is already regarded as the best electric vehicle ever built in terms of performance and range. Available in three guises, the Model S benefits from between 302 and 416 horsepower and returns between 208 and 265 miles on a single charge.
Motivated by 302 ponies, the entry-level 60 kWh sedan needs only 5.9 seconds to sprint from 0 to 60 mph. The mid-range 85 kWh version, meanwhile, is able to achieve the same benchmark in 5.4 seconds with help from 362 horses. The range-topping 85 kWh Performance is even more impressive, as output increases to 416 horsepower, while the 0-to-60 mph sprint drop to only 4.2 seconds.
The all-electric sedan is priced from $69,900 before the $7,500 federal tax credit and any other state incentives. Pricing for the 85 kWh start from $79,900, while the range-topping version fetches at least $93,400.

Tonight I took the gals out for dinner and drinks at Granite City. The food was delicious, the drinks were tasty and the conversation was never ending! It was fun to just get out and not have to work on anything!
The gals have been stitching, sewing and quilting. It is amazing if you stop and think about what actually goes into the making of a pattern. It is a lot of work! (It would not be bad if I only released a few at a time, but I think we are now up to 25! YIKES!... That is a TON of instructions to write!!!) Wish me luck!
Tonight my quilter gave me back one of the new block of the months that my mom did. It is gorgeous! It was fun to see it come full circle. My mom has been down here for 2 and a half months and she was so excited to see it complete before she leaves this weekend! You will love it! :-)
The photo shoot is May 5th. I can't wait to get things finished up so I can show you my new blog!
Thanks for stopping by.... I truly appreciate it and hope to have some new designs for you shortly!

So we asked Karolina Prawdzik to put together an overview chart of the Contemporary art sales in London during Frieze week from 2005 to today. What we saw was interesting, especially when we looked beneath the headlines of the evening sale and isolated the Contemporary day sales. Below you’ll see two charts comparing the average price (blue line) with the total sales volume (bars) for the Frieze Contemporary sales overall including Evening and Day sales (first chart) and then just the Day sales (bottom chart.)
From these charts you can see that volume and average prices for Day sale material is only now matching or exceeding the peak of 2007. Though the overall market, helped by the high flying Evening sales regained that ground two years ago.
If the Day sale numbers are finally back at 2007 levels, the fever pitch of the market certainly isn’t. For those who want to believe that the art market has entered a new phase, strong numbers amid sober expectations is a good combination. more....
2. NEW YORK - Art Market Monitor - The art world “is like a guild meeting,” Jim Chanos, the founder of hedge-fund firm Kynikos Associates LP, said at a dinner he hosted for about 90 people at the Dorchester hotel. “Everyone gets together, they gossip and they pass judgment. It’s kind of silly and you have to take it with a grain of salt. You pick your spots,” said the investor, who’s known for betting against companies and markets.
Jim Chanos is no fan of art as an investment or even as an asset. The famed short-seller has tried to tie Sotheby’s stock to equity bubbles but even with recent market swoons, BID has collapsed without bringing down the broader equities market. That’s not to say that Chanos doesn’t have smart things to say about art consumption...
RUHLE: All right. Hedge funds make me think of the ultra 1 percent. You have been critical in the past of the art market, saying we are sitting on a bubble. Where do you stand now?
RUHLE: The super rich?
JIM CHANOS: – about it in that – that it’s socially acceptable conspicuous consumption.
RUHLE: One more time?
JIM CHANOS: Socially acceptable conspicuous consumption. I think it’s a market that studies have shown correlates more with income inequality than general economic growth. And I think that’s an interesting part that a lot of people don’t realize about the art market, that the richer the rich get the better the art market does. The art market didn’t do so hot in the ‘60s and ‘70s when all incomes were going up. It did really well in the last10 years and in the late ‘80s, for example. So you have to be a little careful with art. I think art is wonderful. If you love a piece of art, buy it. Enjoy it. Put it up on your wall. But to use it as a financial investment or barometer I think is a little scary...more
3. NEW YORK - The Daily Beast - Are Over Half the Works on the Art Market Really Fakes?
A new study claims that over 70 percent of artworks for sale are either fakes or misattributions. If that’s true, are galleries and the art-loving very rich being taken for fools?
The late Bob Coe, a rich American who lived for a while on the Riviera, bought an important Picasso from a well-known Paris dealer in the 1930s. His house was near Pablo Picasso’s, so he got an introduction to him, and drove over with the picture in the back of his car.
Picasso, who was a remarkably mischievous person, flatly denied that he had ever painted the picture, and Coe then went off in a frightful state, and got hold of the dealer who had sold it to him. The dealer had
So back Coe went to Picasso, and confronted with the indisputable evidence of the authenticity of the work, all Picasso would say was “Souvent je peint des faux Picassos”— “I often paint false Picassos.”
And off poor Bob Coe—if you can call a man whose family were partners with the Rockefellers in Standard Oil “poor”—went again, no doubt scratching his head.
This little story—told to me by my father who had it from my grandfather, who was a friend of Bob Coe’s—gets, in its utterly absurd way, to the very heart of the never-ending debate about fake works of art.
The argument about whether a work is fake or really by the master can essentially be reduced to two words: Says who?... More
4. LONDON— Wall Street Journal - Christie’s bested rival Sotheby’s and boutique house Phillips during a round of evening auctions last week that tested the contemporary art market before New York’s major November sales.
All three houses logged solid results overall, but critical tests of deceased or older artists for whom the auction houses are trying to develop markets were mixed.
The auction market during Frieze Art Week, the European art world’s most frantic week of buying held each October, was further boosted by a sale of 43 museum-quality works from the collection of Karlheinz Essl, an Austrian owner of DIY stores whose failed expansion into Turkey and Eastern Europe triggered the sale.
Mr. Essl’s auctioned works last Monday totaled $75 million, between the $64 million and $96 million pre-sale estimate. It burnished Christie’sgrowing reputation as the leader in liquidating large single-owner collections, a reputation that first drove Mr. Essl’s interest in having them handle the “painful process,” he says.
German painter Gerhard Richter fetched the top price but also suffered the most awkward moment in that sale: his four-paneled painting “Clouds (Window)” sold for $10 million but “Net,” a major abstract painting expected to sell easily, failed to reach its $12 million low estimate, prompting a funereal moment of silence from the audience.
Mr. Richter, 82 years old, was the world’s most expensive living artist at auction before Jeff Koons’s “
But buyers are establishing a pecking order for Mr. Richter’s older works, auction specialists and private dealers acknowledged after the auctions.
Though “Net” is an excellent example of Mr. Richter’s transition between blurring paint and using a squeegee, buyers shunned it because it wasn’t a “typical” Richter, says Christie’s specialist Francis Outred.
“The aesthetic wasn’t fashionable,” he said.
Mr. Richter’s drab camouflage-colored 1971 “Jungle Painting” stalled at Sotheby’s on Friday night under its $3 million low estimate.
The overall contemporary sale at Sotheby’s totaled $45 million, just above the pre-sale low estimate and below Christie’s’ $64 million total for its competing sale held on Thursday. Sotheby’s enjoyed a surprise hit in its side Italian sale on Friday when a private European collector paid $20 million for Piero Manzoni’s “Achrome,” a blindingly white 1958-1959 canvas...more
5. NEW YORK - EBay and Sotheby's To Launch Online Auctions For Fine Art And Antiques.. The traditional gavel is going, going, gone.
Ebay, the ecommerce giant beloved by bargain-hunters, today announced plans to broadcast live auctions of fine art and antiques in partnership with Sotheby’s, the elite auction house known for headline-worthy events like its $45 million sale of a Francis Bacon triptych.
The joint effort represents an attempt to woo the dollars that online shoppers are spending on luxury goods. According to eBay, more than 3,500 of its auctions close each day at a price point greater than $5,000. Sotheby’s, for its part, has seen a leap in buyers’ activity online over the last two years, with online bidders competing for nearly one in five lots in 2013. In April of this year, Sotheby’s sold John James Audubon’s elephant-folio The Birds of America for $3.5 million, a new record for the company.
“We are joining with eBay to make our sales more accessible to the broadest possible audience around the world.”
For eBay, the partnership further signals the company's shift away from online flea market to curated storefront of big-name brands. For Sotheby's, which has been looking to grow beyond its core, high-end audience, eBay offers both a channel for reaching 36 million collectibles shoppers, as well as a platform for selling a higher volume of lots at the mid-tier luxury price point most lucrative to its business. (Works like the Bacon triptych build an auction house's reputation, but the terms of the sale are typically more favorable to sellers than to the house.)
Competition in the category is heating up, with Christie’s hiring technical talent to build out its own online auction capabilities and galleries adding inventory to Artsy, a site that helps collectors discover and buy art that matches their tastes...more
6. LONDON - A Shift in the Antiques Market - “Hundred pounds? It’s no money at all. Eighty, then?”
The refrain — uttered by an auctioneer in Dorset, in the west of England — and others like it are being repeated in different accents, languages and currencies in any number of salesrooms around the world currently struggling to find a market for everyday antique furniture.
The lot in question, offered by the Dorchester auctioneer Duke’s on Sept. 25, was an English 18th-century oak lowboy — a deep-fronted side table with three drawers — estimated to fetch as much as 250 pounds, or about $405. Eventually a couple of bidders pitched in and this handsome, but not so fashionable piece was knocked down for a hammer price of £130, plus 22 percent in fees, to a woman in the sparsely attended salesroom.
“Fifteen years ago, antique furniture used to be about half our business. Now it’s less than 20 percent,” said Guy Schwinge, a partner at Duke’s, one of Britain’s most prominent regional salesrooms. “There’s been a shift in taste. People furnish homes in a more minimal way and they don’t do period schemes. Our lifestyles have changed.”
Mr. Schwinge pointed out that few people now had formal dining rooms, and this has affected the prices of period furniture. A set of seven Regency rosewood dining chairs sold for £317 with fees at Duke’s. People don’t read as many printed books as they used to, and they certainly don’t write many letters — hence the paltry £366 that went to an 18th-century mahogany bureau bookcase.
So the question on many collectors’ minds now is just how low can the price of period English furniture go? The British-based Antique Collectors’ Club’s Annual Furniture Index (AFI), based on a mix of auction and retail prices of 1,400 typical items, fell by 6 percent to 2,238 in 2013. The index has been on a slide for more than a decade after reaching a peak of 3,575 in 2002.
“For nice furnishing things, prices are as low as I can remember,” said Paul Beedham, an early oak specialist dealer in Derbyshire. “The professional classes who used to buy just don’t have the money any more. They’
re struggling to pay their mortgages and car loans.”
But while prices for middle- and lower-range antique furniture might be at an all-time nadir, exceptional collector pieces can still sell for substantial sums. Mr. Beedham sold a 16th-century turned oak armchair associated with Queen Elizabeth I’s lord chief justice, Sir John Popham, to an American collector for between £40,000 and £50,000 at the LAPADA Art & Antiques Fair in London’s Berkeley Square, which closed on Sept. 28.
On Sept. 18, the Zurich auctioneers Koller sold a freshly discovered circa 1720 “bureau plat,” or writing desk, by the French cabinet maker André-Charles Boulle for 3 million Swiss francs with fees, or about $3.1 million, to a private collector based in London. The elaborately inlaid desk with gilt-bronze satyr-head mounts is similar to an example in the J. Paul Getty Museum in California, and had been kept in a Swiss castle for many generations. The price was the highest ever paid for a piece of furniture at an auction in Switzerland.
“The market went down after 9/11, and it’s really crashed for medium and lower level items,” said Philippe Perrin, director of the Paris-based furniture and art dealers Perrin Antiquaires, who had been hoping to... more
7. NEW YORK - Can the Art Market Thrive as the Business of Selling Art Suffers?
It’s the quiet season in the art market. Time for reflection on what’s happened and what’s to come. Surprisingly, the word in the air seems to be one of moderation and retreat. Scott Reyburn channels some of that in his International New York Times column. He points to Sotheby’s weak stock price as a signal that the booming art market isn’t necessarily a boon to auction houses:
“Auction houses aren’t scalable businesses. They can’t expand by multiples like dealerships,” said Michael Hutter, a cultural economist who is director of the Cultural Sources of Newness research unit at the WZB Berlin Social Science Center in Germany. “Profits are crumbling at the top of the market. They can’t charge 50 percent, which is partly why they’re turning to online sales.”
Evidence of that auction houses have bumped into a ceiling, Reyburn says, can be seen in Sotheby’s stock price having slid from $55 to $40 in recent months.
In other words, the headline sales don’t translate into operating margin for the auction houses and their growth prospects are limited by the seeming lack of a middle market:
“There are definitely fewer art buyers than there were in 2008,” said Mr. Bocart, the research director. “The cards have been redistributed by the financial crisis. Fewer people have more money, and they do spend more, but the base has been diminished. Art needs to be refreshed. We’re waiting for something to happen.”
Meanwhile, something is happening with Sotheby’s stock which has sharply recovered the crucial $40 threshold. Let’s see if it can hold above that price.

8. NEW YORK - Sotheby’s Private Sales Hit Hard in 2014 Even as Transactions Increased - What Sotheby’s Doesn’t Want You To Know About Its Private Sales (artnet News)
Philip Boroff knows his way around an SEC filing. He went through Sotheby’s recent earnings to come up with these interesting numbers on the short-term drop in Sotheby’s private sales business which CEO Ruprecht reminds us is a “chunky” business. The most interesting piece of news isn’t the big drop itself, nearly half the value of the previous period, but the fact that transactions increased but were obviously at a much lower value:
In the first half of this year, private sales accounted for 8 percent of Sotheby’s overall sales. Private sales commissions for 2014's first half were $30 million, down by a quarter from a year earlier.
Besides accentuating the positive, Sotheby’s hasn’t offered many explanations about the setback. In an August 8 press release summarizing its results for the year’s first half, it highlighted a 41 percent jump in the number of private transactions while ignoring the dollar value slump.
