CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH WOULD NEVER KNOWINGLY SPONSOR "NOTHING SACRED"
Home/Latest News Releases/CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH WOULD NEVER KNOWINGLY SPONSOR "NOTHING SACRED"
A spokesman for Chrysler-Plymouth said today that he was shocked that an ad for his company appeared in the New York market on the September 25 episode of the ABC show, "Nothing Sacred." He told Catholic League president William Donohue that the show was previewed by officials from his company this past summer and that a firm decision was made not to advertise on the show. He is currently investigating how the unauthorized ad appeared on the New York affiliate of the network, WABC-TV.
This means that Chrysler-Plymouth is the fourteenth company to pull ads from "Nothing Sacred." The others are Isuzu, Weight Watchers, K-Mart, Benckiser, DuPont, Red Lobster, Ocean Spray, Sears, AT&T, Glaxo Wellcome, Ponderosa, Dunkin' Donuts and Scott's Liquid Gold.
William Donohue voiced his thoughts this way:
"The ad that appeared in New York was the kind of innocent mishap that plagues all organizations. In no way does it reflect the intent of Chrysler-Plymouth. Indeed, the spokesman for the company made it plain that officials at the Chrysler-Plymouth headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan would never give their okay to a show like 'Nothing Sacred. ' Indeed, they did just the opposite after previewing it in New York this past summer. That is why I wrote to him saying that Chrysler-Plymouth is a model of corporate responsibility.
"I couldn't help but notice the large number of ads from ABC that appeared on last night's 'Nothing Sacred.' It must be embarrassing for the network to have to subsidize its own work to such an extent. To the question, 'What if they made a show and nobody watched?' it can now be said, 'Not to worry, if it's on ABC, Disney will bail them out. "

HTC BlinkFeed, the company's social feed and news aggregator, has been a staple on HTC handsets for a while now, occupying a whole homescreen there out of the box.
It shows pertinent weather&clock info, custom info feeds, and your social networking updates, all wrapped in a pretty, scrollable interface.
This is it, now you have the pretty BlinkFeed aggregator up and running on your Android phone with KitKat or higher, and the files for the all-new Sense 7 BlinkFeed won't be far behind, promise the developers (gakugaku, ckpv5, lyapota, xpirt) behind these hacks.
read about this on oneplus forum, this is actually good stuff.
Click the actual word 'Download' from the 1st paragraph, and then 'download' from the second paragraph. It will let you download the .apk files from the list.
The Blinkfeed Apk won't install on my Note 4. All the the other ones installed just fine.
I've been dying for this! The thing I miss most about my HTC is blinkfeed.
Nice, it worked on my Note 4.
Downloaded the files and Blinkfeed initially loaded up but couldn't add the services to it without it crashing. I'll try again later.
Blinkfeed offers a taste of Live Tiles.
Great on my z3 compact.... But how to add the weather widget... Some body help please..

Q: Motivation for proving any nontrivial normal subgroup of $A_5$ has a 3-cycle? This question is taken from M.A. Armstrong's book Groups & Symmetry. Question 15.12.
This aim of this problem is to introduce the concept of a simple group. It asks us to first work out the commutators (whose products I've provided)$$(12345)^{-1}(345)^{-1}(12345)(345)=(245),$$ $$(12)(34)(345)^{-1}(12)(34)(345)=(354).$$
The next part of the question asks us to show that any non-trivial normal subgroup of $A_5$ must contain a 3-cycle. From here I am able to conclude (from a previous problem) that this normal subgroup must be all of $A_5$ (because if it contains one 3-cycle it must contain all, and the 3-cycles generate $A_5$), and hence prove $A_5$ is simple.
Can somebody help me understand if the two calculations above are meant to act as motivation for the proof that every non-trivial normal subgroup of $A_5$ contains a 3-cycle? If not, does it serve a purpose?

BioTime, Inc. Announces Board Membership Changes and Management and Board Changes at Its Subsidiary Asterias Biotherapeutics, Inc.
ALAMEDA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 14, 2014-- BioTime, Inc. (NYSE MKT: BTX) announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Deborah Andrews and David Schlachet to the Board of Directors.
David Schlachet serves as a director of several public and private companies. Mr. Schlachet is the former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Syneron Medical Ltd., an Israeli aesthetic medical device company, and he has served as a director of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. Mr. Schlachet's career also includes other senior executive management positions in the food industry, in venture capital, and in science and research, including serving as Vice President of Finance and Administration of the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel's premier post-graduate scientific research institute, and as Chief Executive Officer of its technology transfer company Yeda Research and Development Company, Ltd. Mr. Schlachet also serves as Chairman of the Board of BioTime's subsidiary Cell Cure Neurosciences Ltd.
Deborah Andrews, who will join the BioTime Audit Committee, is Vice President-Chief Accounting Officer of STAAR Surgical Company, a leading ophthalmic device company. Ms. Andrews joined STAAR in 1995 and served in positions of increasing responsibility over the next eighteen years, first as Assistant Controller, then as Vice President-International Finance, then as Global Controller and then as Vice President-Chief Financial Officer from 2005 until 2013. Following her appointment as CFO in 2005, Ms. Andrews was a member of the senior executive team that successfully led the transformation of STAAR into a rapidly growing, profitable, and financially strong industry leader. Early in her career, Ms. Andrews served as a senior accountant and auditor for KPMG Peat Marwick, a major public accounting firm.
The appointment of David Schlachet and Deborah Andrews to the BioTime Board of Directors fills two vacancies created by the resignations of Henry L. Nordhoff and Andrew von Eschenbach last week. Mr. Nordhoff and Dr. von Eschenbach subsequently resigned from the Board of Directors of BioTime's subsidiary Asterias Biotherapeutics, Inc. ("Asterias").
In addition, Michael D. West, who is BioTime's Chief Executive Officer and a member of its Board of Directors, has replaced Thomas Okarma as President and Chief Executive Officer of Asterias. Dr. West will work with Asterias management and its Board of Directors to better align the company's expenditures with available capital resources, and will continue to explore synergistic opportunities at Asterias and BioTime that may advance product development in a cost effective manner.
Dr. West had been Asterias' Vice President of Technology Integration, in which position he focused on opportunities to improve efficiencies in Asterias and BioTime product development programs through coordination of the companies' respective technologies. The first steps in this approach were taken in the original contribution of assets to Asterias, in which BioTime provided Asterias with quantities of certain human embryonic stem cells developed by BioTime's subsidiary ES Cell International Pte Ltd ("ESI") under current good manufacturing practices (cGMP), and nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use certain ESI patents pertaining to stem cell differentiation technology. Asterias scientists are already considering ways to integrate the use of the ESI cell lines into Asterias' product development programs.
BioTime subsequently entered into a material transfer agreement with Asterias under which BioTime provided Asterias with the right to use BioTime's HyStem® hydrogel formulations which Asterias is using in some of its research and development programs. Asterias was also given an option to negotiate a non-exclusive sub-license to use those hydrogels in neurological, cardiovascular and orthopedic human cell therapy applications. Insight that BioTime has gained from its leading PureStem® technology might help Asterias improve the purity and efficiency of production of the hES derived progenitor cells that it may use in some of its product development programs.
As industry leaders in regenerative medicine, BioTime and its subsidiaries have assembled a broad array of strategically important stem cell technologies and assets for the development of therapeutic and diagnostic products. With over 400 patents and patent applications owned or licensed worldwide, Asterias is an intellectual property leader with numerous foundational patents, and in total, the BioTime family of companies owns or has licensed over 600 key patents and patent applications.
"We remain committed to Asterias and to building shareholder value with its industry leading technologies and with prudent financial management," said Michael D. West, Asterias' new Chief Executive Officer. "We also welcome our new shareholders who will receive Asterias Series A common stock when Geron Corporation completes its distribution of those shares to its stockholders. Asterias' management is continuing to evaluate the opportunities for Asterias' stem cell assets in order to select the best paths for the advancement of its key product programs, including paths that can be followed with Asterias' current financial assets and those that would be open to us if Asterias were to obtain the funding it is seeking in the form of research grants, cooperative development arrangements, and new equity capital," Dr. West concluded.
In other changes at Asterias, BioTime elected Richard LeBuhn, Robert W. Peabody, and Judith Segall to join the Asterias Board of Directors.
Richard LeBuhn is Senior Vice President of Broadwood Capital, Inc., the investment manager of Broadwood Partners, L.P., a private investment fund. Mr. LeBuhn previously was Principal of Broadfield Capital Management, LLC, a private investment firm, and has held senior management positions with other private investment and financial advisory firms.
Mr. Peabody is Asterias' Chief Financial Officer and is Senior Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of BioTime. Judith Segall is Vice President of Administration and Secretary of BioTime and is a long-standing member of its Board of Directors.
Statements pertaining to future financial and/or operating results, future growth in research, technology, clinical development, and potential opportunities for BioTime and its subsidiaries, along with other statements about the future expectations, beliefs, goals, plans, or prospects expressed by management constitute forward-looking statements. Any statements that are not historical fact (including, but not limited to statements that contain words such as "will," "believes," "plans," "anticipates," "expects," "estimates") should also be considered to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, risks inherent in the development and/or commercialization of potential products, uncertainty in the results of clinical trials or regulatory approvals, need and ability to obtain future capital, and maintenance of intellectual property rights. Actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements and as such should be evaluated together with the many uncertainties that affect the business of BioTime and its subsidiaries, particularly those mentioned in the cautionary statements found in BioTime's and Asterias' Securities and Exchange Commission filings. BioTime disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

Aug.31 (GMM) Sergio Perez has played down speculation linking him with McLaren for 2019.
But now, rumours are linking him with becoming Carlos Sainz's teammate at McLaren next year.
He would not say directly if he was referring to Racing Point Force India, but he did spoke openly about the prospect of being Lance Stroll's teammate.
And Perez also indicated that the Stroll takeover is good news, as the Silverstone based team "has enormous potential and now a better budget".
So when asked if he would accept an offer to return to McLaren, where he raced in 2013, Perez answered: "If I had guarantees that I could be competitive, and there was a great project behind everything, then why not?
As for Force India and its future, the 28-year-old said: "There is no doubt that the best of this team is coming.
"The goal is to be a competitive team in the coming seasons and I think it is possible to even be among the top three," Perez added.
He said Force India's designers and engineers thrive because they don't feel "a hand tightening around their necks if they get something wrong".
"That is an important difference between us and some teams like Toyota, McLaren, Renault," said Perez.

Railfan's day at Glenbrook Vintage Railway
Posted in Glenbrook, New Zealand, Waiuku by folkestonejack on March 22, 2013
Although, for once, my travels have not taken me a country with any real steam operations there are still a number of interesting preserved railways here in New Zealand that I have been keen to see. One of the most impressive is the Glenbrook Vintage Railway (GVR), which is around a fifty minute drive from central Auckland.
L507 at Glenbrook Station
The Glenbrook Vintage Railway largely follows the footprint of the old Waiuku branch line, although it deviates from the old alignment shortly before its current terminus at Victoria Avenue, Waiuku.
The Waiuku branch line was first mooted in 1880 but construction only began in 1914. A further eight years elapsed before the railway finally opened in 1922. It connected Waiuku with the North Island main trunk line which connects Auckland and Wellington. The branch line closed in 1967 and the track was in the process of being lifted when the GVR stepped in.
The GVR re-opened a section of the line in 1977 and have made steady progress with their extension towards Waiuku, opening to Pukeoware (1977), Fernleigh (1986) and Victoria Avenue (2010). The railway hopes to be able to extend the line to a final station at the Tamakai reserve in time (an artist's illustration of the intended future terminus was on display at Glenbrook station and certainly looked impressive).
Looking across the Tamakai reserve to the site of the future terminus
This weekend the railway are holding a vintage festival and the Railfan's Day (photographic charter) organised as a prelude to the festival seemed like an opportunity too good to miss. The charter for the day used two visiting locomotives (L507 and Y542 from MOTAT) with numerous run pasts on the railway's 7.5km of track, starting and ending at Glenbrook.
L507 and Y542 from MOTAT posed with the GVR's Ada (F233)
First up was the L, one of ten 2-4-0 tank locomotive built by the Avonside Engine Company, Bristol in 1877. The locomotive saw service with New Zealand Railways from 1877 until 1903, when it was transferred to the Public Works Department for use in construction work until the early 1930s. In later life the locomotive saw industrial service with the Portland Cement company before her acquisition by the Western Springs Railway (MOTAT) in 1971. To open our day the L was coupled with a single passenger carriage.

After a lunch stop at Waiuku the charter resumed in the afternoon with Y542 on a mixed passenger/freight. The Y was one of three 0-6-0T locomotives built for the Public Works Department in 1923 by the Hunslet Engine Company, Leeds, and remained with the department until 1951. In her time with the PWD the engine was used on the North Island Main Trunk railway construction projects. In 1951 she transferred to New Zealand Railways for a short lived period of service (just seven years) before moving on to the Portland Cement company. Y542 was acquired by MOTAT in 1985.

Although the big engines were not in service today, we were able to see them being prepared at Pukeoware workshops in readiness for the weekend's festivities. I have to admit that the two members of the Ja class 4-8-2 steam locomotives that we saw (Ja1240 "Jessica" and Ja1250 "Diana") looked like pretty impressive engines. I'll have to come back to see one in service on a future occasion!

Our charter came to an end with our return to Glenbrook just after 5pm… I really wish all my 9-5 days were like this! To avoid hitting the rush hour we drove back to Waiuku and enjoyed a leisurely and surprisingly tasty meal at the Kentish Hotel, a historic pub just across the road from the Tamakae reserve and a part of the Waiuku Heritage Area. It has been a pretty full-on day at the end of a full-on week, but I loved every minute of it.
