Clemson clear leader for Fuller

By Eric Guimaraes

Clemson remains the favorite for RB CJ Fuller of Easley. He says that lead is substantial over NC State. Several schools have been by to see Fuller this spring, but none have managed to chip away at the Tigers lead. Fuller has received visits from Clemson, NC State, Tennessee and Louisville. "Clemson just told me they still like me and stuff like that," said Fuller. His offers are from Clemson, NC State and North Carolina but he may have another. "My coach told me that Louisville told him they had offered me," he said. "They haven't told me that so I don't really know." Fuller is considering visits to Louisville and Tennessee but has not scheduled any as of yet. His commitment could come very soon. "I might commit later this spring...or maybe wait until the summer," said Fuller. "I don't really know."

A new startup company, Threat Stack, hopes to be the first of many cybersecurity companies to provide advanced forensic protection for cloud-based companies and government agencies.
The company was awarded $1.2 million by Atlas Venture and 406 Ventures to build Cloud Sight, a platform the company claims is the first of its kind to allow public- and private-sector entities with cloud-based services to protect customer data from malware and hacking attempts. The service, now in beta, will be released to the public Nov. 1.
The security platform offers real-time monitoring and the recording of minute forensic data to identify attacks and suspicious behavior traits.
Dustin Webber, co-founder and CEO of Threat Stack, said there is a powerful advantage to using behavior as a threat indicator as opposed to a specific piece of malware. The difference, he explained, is that while malware and specific hacking techniques may change, behavior typically doesn’t.

Few Changes to Hacking Behavior

“It’s more accurate because even though an attacker can change their methods of attack, it’s very hard for them to change their behavior, because you have to have a reason for being on that box (cloud system) and we’re looking for those reasons,” Webber said.
Cloud Sight builds a profile of each process a user initiates, whether it makes network connections and what kind of activity it produces on a daily basis. Using those profiles, the program creates a rubric for what is considered normal activity and what isn’t.
“We can play back step by step each command that was run by a person so there’s no more guessing,” Webber said.
Even in the event of a successful attack, the program could save agencies thousands in diagnosis fees. Typical costs for consultants to identify how a hack was performed can be hundreds of dollars per hour, Webber said. A forensic bread crumb trail can seriously reduce, or even eliminate, this expense.
While there are many cloud and data security companies, Cloud Sight is distinct from other cloud and data security companies, Webber said, since the service works directly within servers constructed with Linux or Unix operating systems.
“There’s not very many companies that are focusing on Linux, or UNIX, which is strange because most of the cloud servers are Linux based and most of the servers used to hold customer data are Linux based,” Webber said.
As companies and agencies leverage more and more cloud technology, both Webber, previously on General Electric’s incident response team, and Threat Stack Co-Founder Jen Andre, previously at Symantec, believe there will be a related increase in IT security needs.

Is Data Secure in the Cloud?

A common misconception for companies new to using cloud services, Webber said, is that just because a cloud service provider has a certain security-related certification, their data in the cloud is secure.

“The main thing about using (outsourced) cloud infrastructure means you’re outsourcing just the infrastructure, you’re not outsourcing your security concern. The big cloud providers aren’t going to take care of that for you. So it’s just something to be aware of,” Webber said.

This view is shared by Jerry Irvine, CIO and IT security expert at Prescient Solutions based in Chicago. Irvine, who is also a member of the National Cyber Security Task Force, said this assumption about cloud security is common among organizations who see outsourced cloud providers as a cheap and easy way to launch digital products and services.
“When you look at any of those providers and you look at their contracts, 99 percent of the time — and I would go so far as to say 100 percent of the time — in their contract it’s going to say they are not responsible for your data.” Irvine said.

That responsibility falls on the consumer of cloud services, then, not the provider.

“They assume because they’re getting rid of all this stuff that their responsibility for maintaining that environment is no longer their responsibility. It is always their responsibility,” Irvine said.

Another reason the marketplace may see more security platforms like Cloud Sight, according to Irvine, is the limited access that clients have to their outsourced cloud infrastructure. Many cloud service providers do not permit clients to perform independent assessments on their hardware and systems, he explained.
“Minimally, you should be able to get a third-party assessment.” Irvine said. “Otherwise, you shouldn’t do business with those types.”
As for Cloud Sight, Webber sees it as a pioneering and accessible platform where real-time monitoring and advanced forensics can be used by organizations affordably.
While the platform will be available in November, Threat Stack will begin charging for services on Dec. 1, according to company spokesman John Vigeant.

It's 1994 all over again in California.

A messy scandal left California's IT governance structure in shambles. The state's Department of Information Technology (DOIT) shut down last year, largely for its role in a controversial software license agreement with Oracle Corp. Nobody knows what the state will do; and everybody is wondering how to fill the vacuum.

The current situation is strikingly similar to the failed implementation of a new DMV database system nine years ago, which cost California as much as $51 million and triggered widespread scrutiny of the state's ability to build and manage IT systems. Following the DMV system's failure, then-Gov. Pete Wilson convened the Task Force on Government Technology Policy and Procurement to determine which parts of California's IT machine were broken and make recommendations for fixing them.

"California is in the midst of an IT crisis where the dangers of not changing are greater than the dangers of changing," the task force wrote in its September 1994 report.

Those words ring just as true today. California is operating without a central IT agency, which is responsible for articulating a statewide strategic technology vision, overseeing agency IT projects and approving agency IT expenditures.

Pessimists would say the state is in dire straits. Optimists might contend that California's latest IT disaster puts the state in the right place at exactly the right time. DOIT's closing may have created temporary IT-management turmoil in California, but it also gives the state an opportunity to implement some new ideas, potentially making California a test tube for redefining the role of state CIOs and creating a new model of IT governance for other states to follow.

As California's policy-makers ponder their next move, they sit on the cusp of an emerging debate over how much power a state CIO and centralized IT agency should wield.

Getting the Balance Right

The rationale for rigid centralized control of IT projects and purchasing held that IT is important enough to merit a Cabinet-level presence in states, and such a presence cultivates an environment in which CIOs can implement enterprise-wide technology changes.

The wisdom of that approach is increasingly questioned. A growing argument is that new Internet-based technologies and a changing political landscape within states -- where agencies are gaining power -- create the need for a more collaborative approach to IT management.

"This debate over centralized versus decentralized or strong versus weak is really coming to the fore," said Sharon Dawes, director of the University at Albany's Center for Technology in Government. "Neither extreme model works very well. Complete decentralization gives you no economies of scale and no way to build a common, robust infrastructure you can afford to support -- and we know that has problems.

"Complete centralization forces all decisions that should be made at various levels of authority -- or at various points in the system based on where the knowledge lies -- to a single point, and that doesn't work so well either," she said. "Everybody is struggling to find the right middle ground."

In large part, the debate focuses on where to centralize IT resources, because some aspects -- network infrastructure, electronic signatures, payment processing, IT work force investments, adopting technology standards -- lend themselves to that approach, Dawes said.

"Those things need a central point of view; everybody benefits from having a standardized, well-understood infrastructure and way of doing certain things," she said. On the other hand, agencies themselves possess business and programmatic knowledge unique to their missions.

"What's really needed is to connect those two areas of strength in a way that makes sense and delivers value for the state as a whole," she said.

Collaboration is a hot topic with the rise of Web 2.0 tools, like wikis and file sharing sites, and its emphasis in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Though public-sector success stories can be found, they are rare. Collaboration among government agencies remains difficult at best.

Why Can't We Be Friends?

The reasons it doesn't work are many. When government officials discuss collaboration's benefits, seldom does the "everyone hold hands and sing Kumbaya" approach work. Historically collaboration has been stymied by one-size-fits-all approaches that fail to recognize each organization's needs and perspectives. Elected and appointed officials' egos and agendas can get in the way.

Finally the proliferation of control freaks prevent collaboration from occurring.

Sometimes it's the elected or appointed officials, and other times it's the technology staff who believe they must personally manage every component of the solution.

So how do we get government agencies to collaborate and share technology systems? One approach that seems to work is the "800-pound gorilla" model, i.e., when a larger agency rolls out a solution and offers to be a service provider for smaller jurisdictions. This model has succeeded in Palo Alto, Calif., and King County, Wash.

Another approach is the "third-party facilitator" model, where a neutral third party facilitates collaboration. This model has been successful in California where Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network nonprofit consortium helped Bay Area public-sector organizations collaborate with each other and industry partners on many projects.

Another good approach is a loose coupling among government agencies, where each agency puts its spin on the solution while sharing common data or resources. This approach is enabled by Web services, service-oriented architecture and Web 2.0 tools that provide hosted or multitenancy solutions.

What's the Bottom Line?

The bottom line for successful collaboration is for each stakeholder to answer: "What's in it for me?" Benefits are varied, including economies of scale and lower costs for initial investment and total cost of ownership. It also lets organizations share lessons learned and best practices.

Since today's mobile and connected citizenry won't accept government's false boundaries, collaboration is necessary to meet their needs, which span traditional jurisdictional boundaries, and to increase their participation in government. Finally collaboration can lead to funding as ARRA grants favor group submissions.

Third Try a Charm?

Perhaps collaboration will increase now that technology has caught up with government's needs to share data and resources, while maintaining control over and accountability for them and meeting their unique needs and priorities. Newer technologies like software as a service, shared workspace tools like Central Desktop and Groove, and Salesforce's government-to-government application exchange make collaborating and sharing easier than ever before.

Today's conversation about collaboration takes working together one step further by incorporating direct citizen interaction and input. Web 2.0 tools are being used to facilitate public, private and citizen collaboration. One example is the Library of Congress pilot project -- The Commons -- which uses Flickr to share its photos and give the public direct involvement through social tagging and community input, which makes the collection easier for everyone to use.

Recession Boosts Collaboration

While collaboration among government entities is a noble goal, internal collaboration is often problematic even when it's between the technology department and its internal customers. How can government entities collaborate with external entities if they can't get their own departments to work well together?

Perhaps the real stimulus, at least regarding collaboration, is the current economic crisis itself, which appears to be driving internal collaboration as a means of survival. Handholding and singing are optional.

Student dies after bacterial meningitis diagnosis

A Kalamazoo College sophomore has died after being diagnosed with bacterial meningitis, and at least 120 people are getting antibiotic treatment as a precaution, officials said.
AP Wire
Feb 5, 2013

Emily Stillman, 19, of Oakland County's West Bloomfield Township, died Sunday due to complications from the infection after being taken to a hospital early Friday, the school said. Her funeral is today in Farmington Hills.

Meningitis is an infection of the fluid that surrounds a person's spinal cord and the brain.

No additional cases of bacterial meningitis have been reported, the school said, and those in close contact with Stillman were urged to get antibiotic treatment. Health officials said the likelihood of additional cases at Kalamazoo College is low.

About 350 students, faculty and staff gathered in Stetson Chapel on Sunday to remember Stillman. Some wrote messages to her on lanterns made out of paper bags and candles, and placed them on and around a bench.

Friends recalled her as funny, sarcastic and an overwhelming presence.

Clean and Serene

From Grand Theft Wiki
Revision as of 05:50, 7 December 2012 by Grand Theft AJ (Talk | contribs) (Deleted pointless trivia. Plus the Hexer that spawns outside of Johnny's is supposed to be the same Hexer, plus Clay can provide a replica if it's destroyed.)

Jump to: navigation, search
Clean and Serene

The mission as seen in a pre-release screenshot.
Game The Lost and Damned
For Billy Grey
Target The Angels of Death Bikers
Location Alderney
Unlocks Angels in America and Liberty City Choppers

Clean and Serene is the first mission in The Lost and Damned.

In the introductory mission, the main members of The Lost Brotherhood motorcycle club (aka Lost MC) ride to club president Billy Grey's location. He's just been released from rehab and is currently speaking with a parole officer and his sponsor from the drug treatment program. Johnny Klebitz, the protagonist of The Lost and Damned, hands Billy his old jacket and they ride off.

Take Billy back to the Lost MC Clubhouse (which also acts as a safehouse for the player, amongst other things). Since Billy is the leader and riding on your back, the other Lost members will ride in formation behind you. Don't total the bike or kill Billy. Don't worry about the following members get seperated from the main group; after a set distance, they will automatically spawn behind you.

In Billy's absence, Johnny has had to run the gang in his place, and with Billy's return, Johnny is relieved of his commanding duties. Already, tension between the two seem to surface, evidenced in a cutscene. Billy demands Johnny for his Revenant bike, which Johnny has sold to pay for Billy's various fees while inside. Eventually, Billy and Johnny move out to the shop which was the last known location of Billy's motorcycle.

Now ride Billy and the Lost to the chopshop in Bohan. Once you arrive, a cutscene plays. The shop owner is reluctant to give up information, but a full-throttle bike tire to the corner of the mouth by Johnny gets him talking. He sold the bike to The Angels of Death (aka AODMC, or simply AOD), The Lost Brotherhood's bitter rivals. To repay the shop owner for this injustice, Billy hits him in the face with a hammer before walking out. Now with a set location, Johnny head there with Billy and other Lost MC members in tow.

Time to get Billy's bike back. Ride again with Billy riding piggyback, and follow the yellow marker to the Rusty Schit Salvage yard in Algonquin. Some Angels of Death members are hanging out with Billy's bike. Billy charges in for his ride, and you and the others need to help. With your Sawn-off Shotgun, blast through the enemies and make sure to pick up ammo and extra weapons from fallen enemies. The Sawn-off is exellent at close range, and can put a car in flames in 2 shots. As you kill AOD members, more will arrive. Slaughter everyone, and Billy will reclaim his bike.

Time to amscray. With the President restored to riding status, he will now take the lead of bike convoy, and you must fall back as a regular member. Get back on your bike and follow Billy in formation. The Lost symbol will appear on the group when you are riding in formation, which will start a conversation amongst the member, as well as heal you, give you armor, and repair your bike. Get back to the club to finish the mission.

  • Johnny can destroy Billy's bike at the Angels of Death hangout, but will fail the mission if it is destroyed.
  • During the introductory cutscene for the game, while The Lost Brotherhood are riding in formation down the streets of Liberty City, Niko Bellic can be seen walking on the sidewalk in his default attire, bumping into a pedestrian and speaking in Serbian to the person. Throughout the DLC's main storyline, Niko's exploits will be chronicled via the various online news services, such as Liberty Tree, Weazel News, and Public Liberty Online, as well as some dialogue from the cast. For example, early on, Johnny can read the articles of recent "arson spates" in Broker and activist lawyer Tom Goldberg's assassination.
  • Niko's cameo appearance in Alderney is somewhat incongruous, as he would still be confined to Broker and Dukes during this mission of The Lost and Damned. Then again, technically the bikers shouldn't be able to cross bridges from Alderney into Algonquin and Bohan at this point either. The fact this mission supposedly takes place before the bridges are supposed to be open is illustrated by the fact the Weazel News update heard after the mission references Lazlow still preparing to launch Integrity 2.0, an event that, in GTA IV, takes place when the bridges to Algonquin are reopened. In TLAD the station is likewise not immediately available, but is added to the dial later on.

For the mission in GTA 1, see Tanker (mission).
A Tanker in its original appearance in GTA 1.
A Tanker in its original appearance in GTA 1.
Appearance(s) GTA 1
GTA London 1969
GTA San Andreas
GTA Chinatown Wars
Vehicle type Commercial/Industrial truck
Body style Tanker truck (GTA 1, GTA:L69, GTA:CW)
Semi-cab trailer (GTA:SA)

The Tanker is a large tanker truck that has appeared in Grand Theft Auto 1, Grand Theft Auto: London 1969, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

The Tanker in GTA 1 is designed as a straight truck with a cab-over design and a tanker load. It is one of the most durable vehicles in the game, being able to withstand a lot of damage. Despite it being a large truck, the Tank is able to drive over it.

The Tanker in GTA London 1969 is designed as a generic British lorry of the 1960s. It bears a logo that resembles the former badge of British Petroleum.

In GTA San Andreas, the Tanker appeared with a semi-cab design. It is one of the more popular of the three trucks in San Andreas, being encountered more than any of the others (the Roadtrain and the Linerunner), and is generally designed as a mid-sized semi truck smaller than the Roadtrain but larger than the Linerunner. Finally, this truck, like all the others can attach a trailer in San Andreas, making the experience even better. It looks loosely based on a Mack R series, but more closely resembles the Peterbilt Model 379. Like the GTA San Andreas rendition, the Tanker in GTA Chinatown Wars is designed as a conventional cab semi-trailer truck, but is only available with a permanently attached tanker trailer.

Surprisingly, the Tanker in GTA 1 has the highest top speed - if driven on a straight road, for long enough, it will keep picking up momentum - much like the Bus and Coach.

After an examination of internal files, it is clearly shown that the Tanker in GTA San Andreas is the slowest of all three but it has better acceleration than the Linerunner. In-game gameplay, however, has the truck performing better than the Linerunner, with an unusually better top speed of about 130 km/h (80 mph), as well as superior acceleration and hill climbing power. Its lower body height also makes it less vulnerable to rollovers than the Linerunner.

In GTA Chinatown Wars, the Tanker's long length and large weight makes the vehicle less than suitable for intensive driving, faring poorly in top speed and acceleration, as well as poor cornering (often requiring a large turning radius) and braking. An interesting new feature is the ability for the trailer to leak fuel, introduced to the player in the mission Trail Blazer. If the end of the vehicle is shot, a line of flaming fuel will spout from the trailer, setting alight any other vehicle the player drives past. Over time, the flame gets closer to the trailer, though the player can gain themselves more time by driving quickly. If the flame reaches the end of the trailer, the trailer itself is set on fire, and after a short while it will blow up dramatically, usually killing the player and harming anyone else near the vehicle.

  • In GTA San Andreas, the game's internal files refer to the Tanker as "petrol".
  • In GTA San Andreas, the default radio station in the Tanker is K-DST; in the DS version of GTA Chinatown Wars, it's Prairie Cartel.

Angels In America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes, by Tony Kushner
suggested by Sara M. Simons

I was born in 1981, the year generally considered to be the start of the AIDS epidemic. I have never lived in a world without AIDS, and yet the disease felt distant from my life growing up in suburban New England. Occasionally a work of art would penetrate this bubble — I remember seeing the movie Philadelphia and feeling rocked to my twelve-year-old core at the stigma and discrimination faced by gay men living with AIDS.

My first semester in college, I read Angels in America in a post-Stonewall lesbian and gay literature class. Tony Kushner’s artistry brought the AIDS crisis to life for me in a way that books and articles had failed to do previously. The college students that I teach now are less familiar with figures like Roy Cohn and Ethel Rosenberg, but the play has not lost its relevance for them. They, too, are deeply moved by the stories that unfold throughout the play.

When I went to see the revival this year, grown men wept in the aisles afterwards, recalling the state of their lives when they had first seen the play twenty years before. For me, the power of art is that it can affect both these survivors and also those for whom AIDS is more far removed. The power of a story is an amazing thing.

VAI Dreams Become Reality

May 15, 2002
Text Size:
Editor’s Note: This is the fifth story in a 10-part series profiling the Business Journal’s nominees for Newsmaker of the Year.

GRAND RAPIDS — Its founders hope it becomes a finder-outer.

And why shouldn’t they?

This week, the Van Andel Institute finds out it has become the first project to earn a second Business Journal Newsmaker-of-the-Year nomination.

Two years ago, the $200 million gift from Jay and Betty Van Andel gained its first nomination — as their dreamy invitation to a healthier quality of life for the world, and as their visionary enticement for a medical and bio-tech business sector for the state.

“I think it finally means the concrete example of a dream they’ve had for some time now actually beginning,” said David Van Andel, VAI chairman and CEO, of his parents’ feelings in January 1999 when the institute’s building plans were revealed.

“This is a beautiful building that portrays a measure of what we’re trying to do,” added then-VAI President Dr. Luis Tomatis, who has since stepped down to take an advisory role.

Then the dream became reality last May 10 when Jay Van Andel used gold scissors to cut the DNA-like ribbon that formally opened the institute’s $60 million first phase.

“There are many such diseases we don’t know much about. Today, with our capability of using expanded knowledge stored on computers we can find out a lot more than we’ve ever been able to find out,” he said then. “I hope this institution will be at the top of the list of the finder-outers.”

The desire to be a top finder-outer is the stuff true newsmakers are made of, and that is why the Business Journal Editorial Board named the Van Andel family and their institute as one of the 10 finalists for the 2000 award.

The Van Andels first revealed their intentions to create the institute in July 1996, a facility that will be funded by a significant gift from the family’s foundation. Although the specific financial figures have not been disclosed, nor are these ever likely to be made public, the Van Andels have pledged that the institute will be one of the largest philanthropic research efforts in history.

Although the VAI is singular in name, the Van Andels are in fact funding two separate institutes.

One is for medical research in genetics, biochemistry, structural and molecular biology and chemistry, with a major emphasis on cancer research. George F. Vande Woude heads the medical institute. The other concentrates on educational matters. Its initial emphasis is to probe fundamental issues, ranging from how the learning process actually works to cultural developments on educational leadership. Gordon J. Van Wylen, former president of Hope College, directs those efforts.

Combining the medical with the educational has impressed both of those particular communities. Even before a brick was laid, they compared the VAI to such highly respected institutions as the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Chevy Chase, Md.

But praise for the VAI wasn’t limited to those two groups. The business community also has had plenty to say, especially the Michigan Economic Development Corp.

The MEDC, the state’s economic developer, is counting heavily on the VAI to be the western jewel of its distinct dream — the Life Sciences Corridor, a stretch of bio-medical research universities, institutes and businesses that would run from southeastern Michigan to just south of Michigan Street at 333 Bostwick Ave. in Grand Rapids.

“They bring a great ability to spin off start-up companies through incubation. They really will play a very vital role in the long-term development of our corridor,” said Michael Finney, vice president of emerging business sectors for the MEDC.

“Western Michigan University, I think, is a key player as well, and they have great potential to participate,” he added. “But certainly the commitment that Van Andel has made makes the western side of the corridor significantly stronger.”

Finney told the Business Journal that the commitment made by the VAI to the state was “impressive, by any standards,” possibly only topped by the promise it holds for the state.

“The facilities that they have, the endowments that they have, are pretty incredible,” said Finney. “They’ve positioned themselves to go after orders of magnitude, more research dollars at a federal level than comes into the state right now.

“They also bring the ability to attract world-class scientists from all over the world. In September of last year, they were able to attract international scientists, Nobel laureates, and that is a capability that didn’t exist in the state prior to the Van Andel Institute. They also bring a significant level of expertise in cancer research and the development of therapies to deal with cancer in our society.”

The Business Journal Newsmaker-of-the-Year Award will be presented on March 8 at a special luncheon with the Grand Rapids Rotary Club. The VAI joins the state’s restructuring of the electric-power industry, the purchase of Old Kent by Fifth Third Bank, the creativity of Gentex Corp. and the hard work of retired Davenport University Chancellor Donald Maine as the nominees announced so far. The remaining five of the year’s top 10 will be revealed in the coming weeks.

“One day, I have no doubt, cures will be found all around,” said past President Gerald R. Ford at last May’s unveiling of the city’s future finder-outer. “All because of Jay and Betty Van Andel and their belief, and their willingness to act upon that belief.”

Used to work on 6.2's and 6.5's alot there should be a support bracket that goes from the back of the starter to the engine block. It's 4-6" long and shaped like a wide V. Probably going to be a dealer or boneyard part, but you will continue to have problems until you get one.

Do not send your child here! Parental involvement is NOT encouraged. Teachers are uncooperative. The few good teachers leave. In the three years that my child has been there, they are on the third principal. I will not be sending my younger child there, even though we live within walking distance. I would rather drive across town to a good school! Valencia is one of the worst!

I went to Valencia the 2nd year it opened, and attended 6th-8th grade. The teachers were great, and the orchestra's music program was fun. I was on the honor roll all 3 years, cheerleader in 6th grade, and was greatly encouraged to succeed. My class even put on an Opera in 6th grade! I enjoyed my years there.

I am proud to state that I attended Valencia Middle School. I really enjoyed being there...the faculty is really nice to everyone and even though sometimes the school doesn't get the best scores in the tests, it's not because the teachers, they are excellent, but because the student body sometimes doesn't feel like working and I believe that they should get encouraged to do better by their main peer: Their Parents

Both my children are honor roll students and motivated but this school has failed them both! The only reason they went there is because we live in this area and open enrollment is not a choice when all the schools are over populated.

Volvo Trucks introduces new monofuel natural gas version of FE

20 August 2014

Volvo FE CNG. Click to enlarge.

Volvo Trucks is expanding its model range in Europe with a new version of the Volvo FE running entirely on natural gas. The Volvo FE CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) has been primarily developed for operations involving short driving cycles with repeated starts and stops such as refuse collection and local distribution.

The Volvo FE CNG is powered by an all-new 9-liter Euro 6 engine featuring spark plug technology that produces 320 hp (239 kW) and 1356 N·m (1000 lb-ft) of torque. Spark plug technology is particularly suitable for driving cycles where the truck covers short distances with a lot of start-stop traffic, said Christina Eriksson, Business Manager Alternative Drivelines at Volvo Trucks.

Equipped with a fully automatic transmission, the truck retains the same driveability and productivity as the conventional Volvo FE. The automatic transmission also gives faster driveline response.

With the Volvo FE CNG we can now offer companies that drive a lot in urban environments a truck with a far lower environmental impact. Many cities the world over are looking for alternatives to diesel-powered trucks. In the field of refuse handling in particular, renewable fuels are often a requirement for securing a purchase contract.

— Christina Eriksson

Methane gas is odorless when combusted and it contains very low levels of harmful particles. If the methane is a biogas emissions of carbon dioxide are up to 70% lower than those of a diesel truck.

Methane gas is the fuel that will become a sustainable alternative to diesel in the long term. Right now the focus is on working together with the various public authorities and private corporations to draw up the relevant rules and create the right preconditions for positive development.

—Lars Mårtensson, Environmental Director at Volvo Trucks

Sales of the new Volvo FE CNG will start in Europe in August, with series production getting under way in early 2015.

Ok, so the main thing here is that they use Methane rather than diesel for a bin truck, which will have a lot of stop / start action.
But not a hybrid, either electric or hydraulic.

I presume the NG one is cheaper than a hybrid and getting the diesel out of the system keeps local emissions to a minimum.
Sounds reasonable.

For frequent start, stop, and idling, hydraulic or electric hybrid, or battery or FC electric would be more efficient, since engine is not efficient at low load in comparison to e-motor.

most people will disagree with this but i would recommend this

blustar1 | Aug. 1, 2015 | See all blustar1's reviews »

hear me out i know most people don't like god games but also this is not the best god game to. but personally i like god games and liked the look of the of the game when i first saw it like most people because i really like god games and sense i like god games it's easy for me to say i at least like it. hears what i like about. the spells i find interesting t use to have a giggle. also the chests that you find and how you use them are also cool for a god game but i just wish there were more unlocks. what i don't like it the terrain manipulation it is sort of hard to use. so to wrap it up i say the game deserves a 60/100 but remember this comes from the perspective of a guy that likes god games.

Not worth it

Venhiem | Jan. 7, 2015 | See all Venhiem's reviews »

This game was appearing to be a promising God simulator, in which you control your people through time, hardships and terrors. It is not. It is, at most, a clicking simulator. The art is good. That’s all that is good about it. Avoid this game at all costs. Maybe, after early access, it will be a playable game, and then maybe you should think about getting it. Right now, it is a terrible clicking mess. Like some horrible Facebook or flash game. Also, too highly priced, for such a mess as it is. 2/10 Do not buy. Wait until it leaves early access.

Godus: Game or Clicking Simulator?

mrminecrafter1 | July 6, 2014 | See all mrminecrafter1's reviews »

This game has drawn quite the controversy. Gameplay mainly consist of clicking which is pretty boring for me at least. Artistic style is unique and reminds me of Tearaway's artistic style. It's pretty boring as you play a God that is supposed to help your population of followers through the times of history. Sound design is pretty decent and the soundtrack isn't necessarily good or bad. Overall it's pretty boring. Unless clicking is your thing, avoid this early access game. Another early access game that's pretty terrible. Shocker.

Not sure if would recommend

Neonberry | Dec. 20, 2013 | See all Neonberry's reviews »

Godus is an early access game that already sparked a lot of controversies. The gameplay itself consists mostly of a huge amount of clicking. Click on trees to chop them, click on stones to mine them, click on terrain to change it and so on. Looking at where the game is heading it might turn out to be fairly good if you have a strong finger on the mouse button. It is a god simulation where allegedly you will have different tasks through the ages. So far only the first two ages are ready where you expand your tribe most of the time so it would be too early to judge how this turns out. So gameplaywise it is not too bad (if we keep it in mind that it is early access) - I personally have some other issues with it. Mr. Mulyneaux the mastermind behind Populous and Black and White decided to use Kickstarter to launch the game - you know, that site that is for small startup developers to be able to launch some projects if they don't have the capita to do so. I think it is pretty unethical from someone who designed some highly succesful games before. Then they started to sell the game as early access, though it will be free to play. I could see the point of this, communicating with the community to make the game better, "buying" the privilege to be part of the development. The problem with this step is that as far as I know the communication between the devs and the players is pretty weak at best - so the whole thing kind of looses the point. To top this all off the game, once its ready will have a shop where - you guessed it - you can buy gems that will be necessary to unlock later game content. Now it seems to me that the main focus of the game is cashing in as much as possible at the startup, development stage and after the release. I have funded games at Kickstarter. I have bought games. I have played freemium games before. but if you ask me to combine all these three has only the goal of milking the same cow dry. So if we forget about all my ethical concerns and the fact that the game will be free once its ready, well, I would recommend to get it if you are extremely into god simulators. It is a fairly good game - not brilliant, but good for wasting some time. But to be honest I think its smarter to wait for the ready and free version and invest your money into some other game .

Avoid at all costs!!!

tyrrin | Dec. 4, 2013 | See all tyrrin's reviews »

This is the biggest joke of a game that I have ever played. It has nothing in common with its predecessors Populous, or Black and White. It feels like a Facebook game gone wrong. Its received NO developer updates since late October, and no dev communication as to why. This game is not fun in any way shape or fun, all you do is click, click, click. No player control, no real interaction what so ever. Do yourself a favor, get on YouTube and watch some "lets play" videos, and see for yourself. Avoid this mess at all costs.

Still unfinished 4X game

mahon | Aug. 11, 2013 | See all mahon's reviews »

Bear in mind we're not reviewing a finished product here, but what is presented to us at the moment. Horizon is not completely done now, and the authors offered us a chance to access it even before the official release if we purchase it before the game's premiere (the game offers so called 'early access'). If you are a fan of space 4X-type games, you may like Horizon. If you're not too much into the genre, you might better try another game to convince yourself how interesting 4X games can be. While some of this game's aspects look unfinished for the obvious reason that the game is not finished yet, the overall picture we're getting here is that Horizon is going to be just another game of its genre - not a bad one and not a brilliant one, too. For a fan of the genre it may be a must to have and to play, while for others it is just one of possible choices. I wish the authors all the feedback they may get, as I always applaud these who grant early access to their games.

This distressing footage from July 2011 shows the agonising death of an endangered Sumatran tiger in an APP concession in Sumatra, Indonesia. There are less than 400 remaining Sumatran tigers in the wild and that number is rapidly declining as their habitat continues to be destroyed to make cheap pulp and paper products.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — When the Atlanta Falcons drafted Jake Matthews, they figured he would take over at left tackle someday.

They didn’t expect it to be this soon.

Midway through his first NFL preseason, the Falcons shifted Matthews across the line on Monday to replace Sam Baker, who went down with a season-ending knee injury.

Matthews, the No. 6 overall pick, was expected to break into the league at right tackle, a less-demanding position than protecting quarterback Matt Ryan’s blind side.

Now, the rookie will have to step up to the challenge right away.

“I think the coaches are going to put me in good situations,” Matthews said. “If I keep getting reps, I’ll be ready to go.”

Baker sustained a torn patellar tendon in his right knee during a 32-7 loss to the Houston Texans in a preseason game last Saturday night, hindering Atlanta’s plans for revamping the offensive line.

The team struggled mightily up front last season, a big reason the Falcons ranked last in the league in rushing and gave up 44 sacks, the most in Ryan’s career.

Not surprisingly, the Falcons used their top draft pick on Matthews and signed free agent Jon Asamoah, another instant starter at right guard. Baker, a former first-round pick who played only four games last season because of a knee injury, also was part of the rebuilding effort.

Coach Mike Smith tried to put the best face on Baker going down again.

“As soon as we had confirmation that Sam wasn’t going to be able to play anymore this season, it’s an easy switch,” Smith said. “Jake is a No. 1 pick, the sixth pick in the draft, he’s got left tackle written all over him.”

Former starter Lamar Holmes, who had been listed as Baker’s backup, moved over to take Matthews’ spot on the right side. Gabe Carimi and Ryan Schraeder will compete for playing time as well, though Carimi is banged up at the moment.

“You just flip your mind, get over to that other side, and continue to play fast,” said Holmes, who started 15 games last season — essentially because the team had few other choices — but has yet to show he can handle a first-team job.

The Falcons have no such concerns about Matthews, who played left tackle at Texas A&M and was projected to take over that position at some point in the NFL.

“Jake is comfortable playing both right and left,” Smith said. “I don’t think he’ll blink. We’re not.”

Even so, the newest version of the offensive line got a lot of attention at its first practice together. During one drill, assistant coach Mike Tice shouted instructions while Smith and general manager Thomas Dimitroff stood nearby, watching intently.

“Look how big a hole you’re leaving with your feet,” Tice barked to a lineman. “Come on, man, details.”

Matthews knows there will be an adjustment period as he makes the switch, especially since he’s only played two preseason games. He’ll have to switch up his footwork to get blocking leverage off his left leg instead of his right.

“It’s almost like going from your right hand to your left,” Matthews said. “But I did them both in college. I feel pretty comfortable on both sides.”

His job going forward it to make sure Ryan feels comfortable with a rookie protecting his back side.

“Honestly, it’s not that big a difference for me,” Matthews said. “I put a lot of pressure on myself to do well. Whether it’s on the right or left side, I put just as much pressure on myself.”

NOTES: The Falcons officially placed Baker on injured reserve and signed OT Pat McQuistan. The 317-pound McQuistan has played in 72 games with 11 starts over a career that includes stints with Dallas, Miami, New Orleans and Arizona. … Smith said the competition is heating up at nickel back, a position filled the last two years by Robert McClain. Josh Wilson came aboard after starting every game the last three seasons for Washington. Another newcomer, Javier Arenas, will likely get more of a chance to show what he can do in Saturday’s preseason game against Tennessee.

Pool plan goes belly up

by nathan oster

A last-ditch effort to convert the swimming pool to an outdoor facility appeared to run aground Monday night when the Greybull Town Council voted 3-2 against asking the Big Horn County School No. 3 board of trustees to delay the demolition of the pool.

Citing financial reasons, Mayor Bob Graham and Councilmen Bob McGuire and Ross Jorgensen said they could not support a plan to save the pool that Councilmen Clay Collingwood and Myles Foley have been putting together in recent months, with help from Marvin Hunt.

Collingwood said he believes the pool can be saved.  Most of the problems, he said, could be resolved, simply by removing the roof.  And as an outdoor pool, the building wouldn’t need much of the equipment that’s considered deficient.

“The building is bullet proof … mostly concrete and cinder block,” he said, before offering a motion for the town to approach the school board one more time and ask them to consider halting the demolition and turning the building over to the town. To make up for the green space that would be lost by the district, Collingwood proposed that the town purchase an adjacent lot — its current owner is asking $30,000 — and turn it over to the school district in trade.

Hunt said it would cost between $20,000 and $25,000 for A.W. Hunt Construction to take down the roof of the pool — although that price would be considerably less if volunteers stepped forward to help.

To re-open, the pool would also need a new liner.  Hunt said he got a quote of $70,000 to $85,000 for a vinyl pool liner, which would come with a life expectancy of 20 years.  Hunt and Collingwood acknowledged that the current facility would also require some electrical work in order to reopen.  The deck drains would also need to be redone, Collingwood said.

For the plan to work, the town would also need to absorb monthly operation and maintenance costs, although Hunt, Foley and Collingwood all suggested that they would be considerably less than the $8,000 per month projection they’d been given to operate the pool as an indoor facility.

Collingwood admitted that it’s “late in the game,” but that he’s willing to try.

Supt. Barry Bryant, in attendance to discuss another pool matter, confirmed that, saying the district has already executed a contract with an architect for the demolition.  The current sticking point is the abatement of asbestos and removal of chemicals from the building, but Bryant said those issues should be resolved by the end of the summer.

“We’re looking at trying to do the demolition before winter,” he said.

The School Facilities Commission has had money earmarked for the demolition for several years, but set it aside until the community had an opportunity to weigh in on two proposed tax measures that would have paid for the construction, operation and maintenance of a new indoor pool.

Both measures went down to defeat in November, a point emphasized on Monday night by McGuire, the most vocal critic of Collingwood’s plan.

“The (people) have spoken,” he said. “I commend you (Clay) for your willingness and desire, but it’s done.  It’s over.”

McGuire’s comments came toward the end of his argument against supporting Collingwood’s plan.  Earlier he had cited the length of time that had been devoted to the pool issue, the cost of Collingwood’s proposal and the difficult decisions the town was forced to make elsewhere in the proposed budget for next year.

“We hear, ‘My kids are going to drown because there is no place to swim,’ and ‘There’s nothing for kids here to do,’ I think that’s generally what we’re talking about,” McGuire said. “I think, as a member of this council, my response to that is, we’re tasked with making sure toilets flush, that when residents turn on the water they get water, and that when you’re driving, you can get from Point A to Point B without falling in a pothole.”

“Those priorities,” he said, take priority over a swimming pool.  “Is it the town’s responsibility to provide a pool? It would be nice.  I’d have no problem with that.  But can we afford it?  I’m having some problems with that.

“If the school, though the state, doesn’t have the money for it, where is the town going to find the money?”

Collingwood took a far different viewpoint, saying, “As community leaders, we have a responsibility to help this town grow.  We must have water and sewer and streets and all that, but we can’t keep growing if we keep losing these community assets.

“It’s fine, if you’re close to retirement, but if you’re young and have kids, you recognized the importance of having things for those kids to do.  We can’t keep losing these assets and expect people to keep moving here — or even stay here. I believe it’s my responsibility…and I’ll take that on. That’s what I’ve been doing.”

McGuire countered that people don’t live in Greybull’s because of its amenities — they live here because they found work here.  Of greater importance, he said, is infrastructure, adding that the pool is a “luxury” item.

Collingwood told McGuire he was  underestimating the importance of community assets like the pool.  He said the town devotes time and resources to economic development, but will have a difficult time drawing any potential enterprise to town if it cannot offer anything for the children of potential employers.

“Say we were looking at a small manufacturing plant that could bring in 10 jobs,” he said. “They are going to say, ‘Yeah, I could build here, but are we going to be able to keep our employees here?’  And, ‘Do you have things to keep people in the community?’  I think the pool is one of those things.”

McGuire said something is “askew” if the criteria of a successful community is having a pool.

Hunt disagreed.  “One thing we owe our kids is a place to swim, a place to go without a coach.”  He said turning the pool into an outdoor facility is the cheapest way to provide it. “Every generation since I’ve been here has had a pool,” he said. “Now we are going to be the generation that isn’t going to have one? Everyone else has had a pool.”

Bryant said he agreed with McGuire, in the sense that his recommendation to the school board has been, and will continue to be, to proceed with the demolition.

Jorgensen said he opposed Collingwood’s plan for financial reasons, pointing out, as he had done earlier in the meeting, that the town is budgeting to take money out of its reserves in the coming fiscal year.  He said he feared the town would be getting “a white elephant” if it took over the pool.

School plan rejected

Later in the agenda, the council took up another pool-related matter, this one brought forward by Bryant on behalf of the school district.

Bryant asked the council to abandon a portion of Sixth Avenue North, directly in front of the swimming pool, so that the district could turn it into green space after the pool is removed. In that newly-created green space, the district would have put a shot and discus competition areas as well as a practice field.  Bryant added that students would have been able to cross the street there without fear of being hit by a car.

The council was unanimous in its opposition to the plan, citing among other things the way it would enlarge the “closed” GHS/GMS campus, its potential impact on businesses and semi-truck drivers.

AWD Drift Handling V.2

by _astroAtomic
Please explain why you're reporting this file:

A new and highly improved AWD drift handling. Made up mostly from my last drift handling line (AWD Drift Handling V.1) but now with improvements across all areas of the handling line. Works on any land vehicle. Check out the video for a preview.

This handling line was built on the idea of being able to drift massive corners while still being able to drift tight streets and other areas. More work than anything else went into the transmission, the bias on my last handling line was 0.45; but now it is 0.40 giving a little bit more spin to the rear wheels allowing more angle.

Plenty more has been changed and I hope you enjoy :) Replaces: Any land vehicle

Great 10/10

Good but it is pretty unrealistic, mostly because of too much power.
Posted on February 12, 2014 12:30PM by Bone34
I wonder, is it possible to make a drift handling line using the DEFAULT acceleration settings?
Posted on February 12, 2014 1:08PM by DLer
I think so, because some time ago i tried editing default Sultan RS handling and i came up with pretty easy drift handling which was still pretty much like default handling. However you will still most likely have to increase the power value to be around like 0.3, idk maybe you can come up with good drift handling with default acc so its only on your time to test it. BTW i recommend using this simple handling reloader tool (if you dont have it allready installed) which will save up ALOT of time.
Posted on February 12, 2014 1:34PM by Bone34
Bone 34, was made to drift any corner no matter how wide. I gave up trying to realistic because its grand theft auto. If you watch my preview video, you'll see why

Top Three Insider Buys of the Week

September 27, 2013 | About:
Monica Wolfe

Monica Wolfe

According to the GuruFocus All-in-One Screener the following three companies reported the largest insider buys last week. These are the largest insider buys in terms of transaction amount, level of insider making buys and number of insiders buying. Each of the following three companies involve transactions valued at over $100,000 and have multiple insiders making buys.

Biglari Holdings (NYSE:BH)

Over the past week there have been several insider buys. The insiders making buys thus far are Interim CFO and VP Duane Geiger, Director Philip Cooley, Director Sardar Biglari and Director Kenneth Cooper. These insiders bought a total of 5,318 shares at a price of $265 per share.

Director Biglari made the largest transaction of the week adding 5,165 shares. He spent a total of $1,368,725 on this transaction. After his most recent buy, Biglari now holds on to at least 269,663 shares of his company’s stock.

The company has upped its insider buying as the price is nearing a 10-year high.

Biglari Holdings is a diversified holding company engaged in a number of diverse business activities. The Company is currently engaged in and the franchising and operating of restaurants.

Biglari’s historical revenue and net income:

The analysis on Biglari reports that the revenue has slowed down, they have issued $72.812 million of debt over the past three years, its price is near a 10-year high and its P/E ratio is nearing a 10-year low.

The Peter Lynch Chart suggests that the company is currently undervalued:

There are currently two gurus that hold a position in Biglari Holdings.

Chefs Warehouse Holdings (CHEF)

Over the past week there were three directors making buys into Chefs Warehouse Holdings. The directors making these buys were Joseph Cugine, Alan Guarino and Stephen Hanson. These three directors bought a total of 33,000 shares at $21 per share. The directors spent a cumulative $693,000 on these buys. Since their buy, the price per share has increased about 9.67%.

Stephen Hanson made the largest buy, adding 30,000 shares to his stake. The insider spent a total of $630,000 on this transaction. Hanson now holds on to 44,984 shares of the company’s stock.

Over the past week two insiders made some buys. Both the CEO as well as the company’s CFO made these buys.
