A Promise Fulfilled (Part One)
A retrospective on a car that went from cynical marketing exercise to icon for a generation of drivers.
(c) avengers-in-time
That Ford chose to produce the Capri was as logical as night following day. The US Ford Mustang, launched five years earlier and, like the Capri, based largely on a humble sedan (the Falcon), had been a huge sales success. Ford had expected to shift around 100,000 Mustangs annually, but 400,000 were sold in its first year and a further 600,000 in its second year of production. Little wonder that, on seeing these numbers, Ford Europe decided to try and emulate its US cousin.
The Capri was an Anglo-German joint-venture, produced at both Halewood and Cologne, each plant utilising its own range of engines. The car's design is credited to Phil Clark, overseen at Ford's Dunton design studio by Duncan McRae.
The UK model had the Kent inline four in 1.3L and 1.6L capacities, and the Essex 2.0L V4 and (later) 3.0L V6. The German model had the Taunus V4 in 1.3L,1.5L and 1.7L capacities and the Cologne V6 in 2.0L and (later) 2.3L capacities. Ford had wanted to call the new coupé Colt to emphasise its conceptual relationship to the Mustang, but Mitsubishi had already trademarked that name* so it was unavailable.
The Capri was launched on my eighth birthday. As a car-obsessed youngster, I still remember my excitement when I first laid eyes on a grainy black-and-white photo of Ford's new coupé in my dad's morning paper. At the time, I hadn't a clue about its prosaic 1966 Cortina Mk2 underpinnings and wouldn't have cared even if I had understood that cart springs and a live rear axle are not the stuff from which thoroughbred sports cars were made. A long bonnet, close-coupled cabin and sleek fastback tail gave the Capri instant appeal, and that was all that mattered.
The Capri's scheduled launch nearly didn't happen. Ford's normally highly efficient press office gave journalists a couple of months' notice of the launch date, so that the monthly magazines could test and photograph the new car beforehand, maximising the publicity surrounding the launch. However, a strike at UK brake component supplier Girling disrupted production and brakeless but otherwise finished cars piled up at Dagenham and Halewood.
Instead of the scheduled 200 cars a day, early production was limited to a few dozen, with assembly line staff scavenging brake parts from wherever they could find them. Eventually, enough cars were gathered at Ford's test track at Boreham for the press launch, after which they were shipped off to Malta for a dealer junket.

Car Magazine was present at the press launch event and was, to say the least, underwhelmed. The 1600L version the journalists first drove sounded, rode and felt exactly like the Cortina on which it was based, except that, with a 0 to 60mph time of 18 seconds, it was actually slower than its saloon equivalent. However, further acquaintance with the more powerful 1600GT model demonstrated that, at higher speeds of up to 95mph on the test track, it was much quieter, more comfortable and stable than the tinny, trashy and cacophonous Cortina.
The seat comfort and sporty, arms-stretched driving position were also a significant improvement over the Cortina. The Escort-sourced rack-and-pinion steering was light and precise and the car's handling was limited by the tyres' grip, particularly in the wet, beyond which it tended to understeer, albeit safely. The journalists did, however, wonder how the (not yet available) 3.0L version with a much heavier V6 engine would perform in similar on-the-limit circumstances.
Overall, the journalists were rather sniffy and cynical about what they described as the Capri's "triumph of marketing over engineering" and opined that "the point of diminishing returns [of this approach] must be very close indeed".
The journalists' cynicism was, however, misplaced. Ford marketed the Capri as 'The Car You Always Promised Yourself'. UK base prices initially ranged from £890 for the (loss-leading?) 1300 to £1,087 for the V4-engined 2000GT. There were a range of X, L and R option packs to personalise and upgrade the GT models. Demand was strong and over 400,000 Capris were sold in its first two years of production. It was sold as far afield as Japan, South Africa and even the US, the latter under the Mercury brand name.
In 1971 a high-performance Cologne V6 RS2600 model was introduced to burnish the Capri's sporting credentials. This had Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection and formed the basis for a Group 2 racing car. The RS2600 was replaced by the Essex V6 RS3100 in September 1973.
In 1972 the Capri was treated to a mild facelift that introduced larger rectangular headlamps, or twin round items on the top models, with the indicators relocated to the corners of the front bumper. The rear lights were also enlarged, replacing the Escort-sourced original units. The dummy vents ahead of the rear wheels were modified to look smaller and less 'dummy'. Under the bonnet, Pinto engines replaced the Kent units on UK cars.
The facelift successfully boosted its appeal and the Capri had its best ever year in 1973, achieving 233,000 sales, with the millionth Capri rolling off the production line in August.
The MK1 Capri really had a model for everyone. I recall that the otherwise very sober middle-aged woman who ran our local haberdashery shop had a bright yellow 1600L with a black vinyl roof. Mr Emmett, my secondary school chemistry teacher, briefly became too cool for school when he turned up in a metallic blue 2000GT. Sadly, family commitments meant this was too soon replaced with a dreary mud coloured MK3 Cortina of some sort.

My now brother-in-law lusted after a second-hand Capri for his first car before the reality of the prospective insurance premium made him buy a VW Beetle instead. It is with some regret that I never had the opportunity to own a Capri.
The Mk1 Capri defied its critics with sales of 1,172,900 over its five-year lifespan, a tremendous success for a 'niche' product. In Part Two, we'll examine the Mk2 and Mk3 Capris and reflect on why the Capri became a victim of changing tastes.
*Mitsubishi fought and won a court battle with Ford over the Colt name. The company would subsequently use Colt as the brand name for all its models sold in the UK for a decade from 1974, fearing that the British would struggle to pronounce or spell its own polysyllabic and unfamiliar name.

The road going RS2600s did not have aluminium cylinder heads. They used cast iron heads like the other Cologne V6s but had a Kugelfischer mechanical injection system with an aluminium induction plenum chamber. This version formed the base for the later fuel injected 2.8i versions.
The RS was a very successful circuit racer in the German national championship. The racers had aluminium heads supplied by Harry Weslake before they got Cosworth-developed DOHC engines based on the Essex V6 from the RS3100. They gave BMW with their E9 CSLs a good run for the money
Daniel O'Callaghan says:
Good morning, Dave, and thanks for the clarification. I've corrected the text accordingly.
Roberto de Iriarte says:
The FIA homologation sheet for the RS3100 makes for interesting reading, the Cosworth GA Dohc V6 conversion being succinctly listed as 'Engine – Light metal cylinder head' (Page 14)
Click to access homologation_form_1660_group_2.pdf
Ford was very masterful in freely interpreting homologation rules.
The way they got homologation for the Escort Mk2 RS or the RS200 was very clever. The RS3100 also had plastic rear leaf springs of purely decorative character for its rear suspension with coils and Watts linkage.
Morning, all. Has anyone read "The cars you always promised yourself" by a Steve Saxty? It goes heavily into the genesis of the Capri in particular from a design and product management, rather than an engineering perspective. I have a copy but it's a bit buried at the moment…
Thanks for the pointer, Michael. Here it is:

Waldensian says:
Good morning, Daniel, fantastic article as always.
I know that it was a completely different car in engineering terms, but since you're focusing on the marketing side I'm surprised you haven't discussed the 1961-4 Ford of Britain Consul Capri. Though I believe the car was something of a commercial failure, surely Ford must have learned some lessons from its attempts to Anglicise the styling of the Thunderbird?
Looking forward to future instalments!
Good morning, Waldensian, and thank you for your kind words, which are much appreciated. The Classic and its Capri derivative certainly do deserve a look, at least as a lesson in what not to do. They were complex to build and their Americanized styling did not appeal to conservative European buyers. They only survived two years on the market, so represented a costly and uncharacteristic misstep for Ford in Europe.
Bill Malcolm says:
Daniel, a good subject for a yarn.
I should like to quote from Wikipedia on the Capri:
"The initial reception of the car was broadly favourable. In the June 1970 edition of the Monthly Driver's Gazette, tester Archie Vicar wrote of the gearchange that it was "…in Ford fashion easy to operate but not very jolly". In the same review Vicar summed up the car as follows: "Perhaps with a bit of work it can be given road-holding and performance less like an American car and more like a European one".[7]"
No doubt Simon Kearne has been delighted with the spread of satirical commentary that DTW has inflicted on the world ! And literal-thinking Wikipedian authors, scribbling away mightily, have often taken the Archie Vicar spoofs as luxurious fodder for quick and easy references on several different distinguished automobiles.
Well done, DTW!
Back in the real world, one wonders if in fact the Capri didn't use a few chassis bits and pointers from that strange-looking beast, the Corsair, rather than the Mk II Cortina, which was spared the tremulous Essex V4 engine.
The Cortina MkII body turned out to be an aerodynamic brick which rather crimped its attainment of speeds beyond 90 mph, most noticed in the Lotus version; whether it could be labelled "the tinny, trashy and cacophonous Cortina" is a bit open to question, in my view, though. The Capri did feel more solid than the four-door Cortina, but one wonders if this was due to two doors and/or reinforcements of the pressed tin variety to carry the 2.0 V4 previously worked out for the Corsair, and the boat anchor iron Essex V6. That was an engine untroubled by advances Ford had made in the USA with their 221/260/289 and 302 V8s, which all weighed the same or less at 500 lbs! Ford made much of their new thinwall casting technique for the iconic V8 family in North America. The period 1969 to '74 corresponded to my graduate study in Blighty, so I was up on this stuff as a car nut.
I was not, however, privy to local level social chattering on the prestige of the Capri. That was an interesting observation I'd never considered, but paralleled the Mustang's effect in North America. External appearances trump the prosaic underpinnings for most people, and the Capri was certainly an example of that phenomenon.
Archie Vicker was not real?…..Nooooo!
The Essex engines were incredibly heavy because sn intended dieselisation was part of the design equation. Another result were crankshaft bearings so large in diameter that they prevented the engine from reaching higher revs without damaging the bearings.
richard herriott says:
I had forgotten all about that. Thanks for reminding me!
Robertas Parazitas says:
"the tinny, trashy and cacophonous Cortina" – I don't remember it as such, but it's down to points of comparison, and the family car of the time was a 1957 Morris Minor 1000.
I recall – hopefully correctly – that the 1971 Capri was the first British Ford where "NVH" was referred to in advertising and press material. Was the acronym confined to the internal argot of the industry until then?
I hadn't realised that the German Capris had V4 engines right down to 1.3 litres, but it makes perfect sense. The 53bhp 1.3 must have been a rough and heavy lump of misery. The 1.3 Kent sounds a better prospect – the pedantic will no doubt note that the toponym was not used until 1970.
To its engineers' credit the Capri was the first true European Ford. British and mainland European Transits and Escorts had less interchangeability than external appearances would suggest, but the Capri was metric at its core, albeit with quite a few work-rounds to accommodate stubbornly Imperial British component suppliers.
These late '60s British motoring writers seem a snobbish lot. I suspect the Capri was instantly characterised as a 'spiv's' car. In its long life, the Capri in the UK never quite suffered the social opprobrium the Opel Manta received in its home market – Mantafahrer being shorthand for a vacuous oaf.
Is there a German word equivalent to 'oaf'? My Oxford Wortbuch gives "Trottel" but I suspect that misses several layers of subtlety.
simonstahel says:
"Leo" dictionary gives me words like "Blödian", "Depp" or "Lackel" as a choice. Each of these words has different connotations, so it might be that neither of them is a direct translation. On the other hand, there might be no good English translations of these German words either. What the words have in common is that they describe someone not too intelligent, but not necessarily of bad nature. Does that sum it up?
The Capri had a kind of credibility because of its successful career in motor racing, particularly in the German touring car championship. That's something the Manta didn't have. There also were no RS Opel dealers (in Germany there were not too many RS Ford dealers, either) and there was no Manta RS. The Capri could survive so long because in the end it was a 2.8i which provided a lot of bang for the buck, something the Manta also never had.
"Trottel", "Blödian" or "Depp" are simply indicating that someone is stupid. A "Lackel" is someone with bad manners.
In Germany a Manta driver was considered a "Proll" which roughly translates to "chav" or "nacker" and is comprehensively pejorative.
NRJ says:
Thank you for this article. I didn't know much about the Capri as I was too young then.
I wonder if the Puma's rear window was inspired by the Capri.
I didn't know Mitsubishi was named Colt for 10 years. What about the other countries in Europe ? Did Mitsubishi thought only English people wouldn't be able to pronounce its name ?
Actually I wasn't even born when it came out I just realised.
Eóin Doyle says:
NRJ, some accounts do suggest the Puma's rear quarterlight was a direct reference to the Capri, although I have not read anything which would lend credence to that assertion. On the other hand I recall Ian Callum, who was involved in the Puma styling programme to some extent at least, was quoted as saying it was shaped to reflect the treatment on the Aston Martin DB7, which itself was a development of the stillborn Jaguar XX/ XJ41. Given the lack of clarity on this, might I suggest you take your pick as to the one you like best or find more credible?
Ford did contemplate a Capri replacement in 2003, when it produced the Visos concept:
The distinctive Capri DLO does look a bit forced on this concept and it wasn't particularly well received, as I recall
Another view of the Visos concept:
Alfa Brera x Volvo C30 x VW Scirocco
Jacomo says:
I knew someone who had one in the early 90s.
It was one of the later models, so it looked vaguely cool in a kind of 80s way, but once inside it felt like the 1970s… and that was not cool then. Maybe not even now. It was also one of the lower powered versions, so totally gutless. Not only was it not fast, it didn't feel like it enjoyed moving at all.
Any hankering I may have had for a Capri ended right there. To me, a Golf GTi or any number of other hot hatches were infinitely more desirable.
Some old cars are charming to drive, with character making up for their objective shortcomings. I doubt this would be the case here.
I think Mitsubishi being known as Colt in the UK may have been a quirk of the company which was importing them. It wasn't a wholly owned subsidiary of the Mitsubishi conglomerate. There may have been a link too to the Australian assembler?
Annoyingly I read in some detail about it somewhere on the web once, but I haven't retained the information, or where to retrieve it. Teenaged me would have been horrified that middle-aged me could forget some motoring trivia!!
Thank you for the info. I will try to investigate this matter further.
Hello Michael and NRJ. Michael, I think your recollection is correct. I also remember that it was the UK importer (and its advertising agency) that was responsible for the Colt name in the UK. Here's a nice period press advertisement, coincidentally for Colt's competitor to the Capri, the Celeste:
NRJ, I intend to ignore your showboating about your extreme youth… Oh, bugger, I've mentioned it!
Adrian Tebby says:
The UK importer of Mitsubishi cars is still called The Colt Car Company Ltd. Wholly owned these days by Mitsubishi I believe I have read somewhere.
Here are some cheesy ads for the mk 1, which are 'very much of their time', as they say.
I have some other films, but they can wait, as I don't want to steal Daniel's thunder.
Hi Charles, steal my thunder? No, not at all! The second ad in particular is hilarious, because it's so offensive to modern gender sensibilities. One would hope that Claudia, Margo and Yvette wouldn't put up with that creepy, philandering lothario for a moment these days.
"Take Claudia, and I sometimes wish somebody would." Pure comedy gold! Thanks for sharing.
John Topley says:
As a child of the eighties very much into the Sierra, the Capri never did it for me. I used to pore over the Ford brochures and wonder why they had this ancient-looking funny car in between the Sierra and Granada sections! Of course when I was older I learned that the Sierra's engines were similarly ancient.
Hi John, yes, the sierra really did flatter to deceive, with that futuristic aero body covering up some pretty rudimentary mechanicals. It was ironic that Ford Europe's real technical and dynamic leap forward, the first Mondeo, was clothed is such a conservative (and anonymous?) body.
Now, here's today's fun fact. Mondeo Mk1 petrol models had a grille in the shape of a flattened oval, like this:
But the diesel versions had a different style, like this:
Which allowed greater airflow for cooling, I believe.
A more sensible ad, from Ireland – it features rally driver, Rosemary Smith, courtesy of Silverpine Studios, in Bray.
Now, that's more like it, Charles. Rosemary was quite a trailblazer in her day. Claudia, Margo and Yvette could have learnt a thing or two from her.
I don't remember being able to buy a Capri in Roches Stores though…I'm sure I'd have noticed!
That's very much of it's time too. It's been a long time since that kind of hotel was glamourous!
Rosemary Smith, on the other hand, is still going strong…

Q: Is it possible to change where the Database connection folder is looking at? In my workplace, we have just upgraded to Windows 7, we have a roaming profile, so all the files that are in the Application Data folder are in a folder called "\username\redirect\Folders.." also in this is the ESRI folder that contains the .sde files for the database connections.
We have teams that share generic mxd's and one problem that we have found is that when a user adds data from their database connection e.g.
\JoeBloggs\Redirect\AppData\ESRI\ArcCatalog\GIS.sde

and then saves it, when another user tries to open the mxd the data source is broken, as the 2nd user does not have access to JoeBloggs folder.
My solution is to create a new folder that everyone has access to, and place the .sde connections in that folder, but how do I make the Database connections node in ArcCatalog look at this new folder rather then the folder in AppData\ESRI\ArcCatalog.
Hopefully that makes sense.

A: In theory all you need to do is point ArcGIS at the environment variable for that path rather than the explicit path.
So rather than point at:

C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local

you'd instead use:

%LOCALAPPDATA%

I'm not sure if you can get ArcCatalog to do point at this though. Wikipedia has a page on them - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppData#Default_Values_on_Microsoft_Windows

The "proper" solution however is to use a networked area and store everything on there; its much easier.

Watershed Watch is devoted to addressing issues impacting wild salmon stocks throughout British Columbia. Whether it's to improve conditions for struggling southern BC Chinook salmon stocks to help feed resident Killer Whales, or to ensure indigenous fishers and recreational anglers can continue to catch salmon to feed their families and sustain their coastal communities, the organization and its many volunteers are working hard to resolve spawning opportunities and habitat issues.
Listen to Lina Azeez from Watershed Watch speak with Lawrence Gunther about their recent success in convincing BC municipalities to restore habitat for salmon smolts along the lower Fraser River on this episode of Blue Fish Radio.


There are three different aspects to a so-called standard; a standard is not just one demand. Whether stated or implied in standards documents, when we talk about students "meeting standards," there are three aspects involved: content, process, and performance. The content standard says what they must know. The process standard says what they should be able to do (in terms of a discrete skill or process). A performance standard says how well they must do it and in what kind of complex performance.
Modern computer and information technology is built on formal standards. Specific protocols are defined of course. But also, the way those protocols are to interact with each other, how to create a standards-setting work group, and how the specifications are supposed to be written.
One of the deep mysteries of the whole Common Core cycle is why Bill Frickin' Gates and company didn't think it was necessary to really approach educational standards in a more rigorous way, especially if you're trying to build a big data edifice on top of the whole damn thing. Was billg afraid it would be too expensive? I guess there might be some fear that it might slow down the process, after all look at how slowly the internet grew.
Essentially, none of the key terms in this debate are clearly defined. I'm sure people have written this stuff down occasionally, but you never see any citation of a full rigorous explanation. I don't mean that in the sense that there are opposing definitions. It is all just handwaving and opinion.
To be clear, I basically like Wiggins post, but in the end it is just floating around in the same ether as everything else.

Nothing awakens your senses more than a sweet taste with a bit of fire. I love this flavor so much I even planted raspberries and habaneros in my yard.
This jam is by far one of my bestsellers, and one of the most versatile for cooking — but good luck keeping it around long enough to cook with: it's hard to stop eating!

StoryKeepers in our Schools
engaging a student's interest in history by discovering their own family's story.
How it began:
I wanted to start a different kind of history revolution in this country, for students to see that history could be exciting, interesting, and relevant, and to nurture in them a passion for history that would last a lifetime.
As the author of twenty published children's books, I have been conducting author visits and writing workshops in schools across this country for twenty-five years, telling students and teachers how my books are based on my true family stories and encouraging students to search for their family stories. I strongly believe that the way to get children excited about history is to make it personal and relevant, and I believe this is best done by connecting historical events to family history.
Reluctant readers and writers have told me, after doing projects on family stories, that they never knew writing could be so much fun, and that they wanted to become writers. I've seen students who had never written more than a paragraph before, suddenly write five pages about a family story that they'd found, and beg to take it home over the weekend so they can keep working on it. All those sparks of interest in history began with a family story.

What is a setup box?
STB stands for Set-up Box is a device that turns the input signals to the one that can be displayed on a TV screen or other devices. STB also called Set-up Unit (STU) are common tools to watch IPTV, cable TV, and satellite TV.
A set-top box is a hardware device that enables a digital signal to be obtained, decoded and displayed on a television. The signal can be a television signal or Internet data and is received via cable or internet connection. How much Internet data do I need to run IPTV?
There are several types of IPTV setup boxes available on the market and each has their own operating system such as Android and iOS. There are also devices such as MAG boxes and Enigma2 based devices that function as an STB or setup box. Which Operating System is compatible with IPTV?
By using an Android box such as Amazon FireTV, you can connect to Google Play Store and download thousands of Android games and play those games on your TV. The best setup box for having both IPTV channels and playing Android games is Nvidia Shield which also comes with a Gamepad or a controller which makes it easier to play android games. What is an Android box?
There are lots of applications available on Android and many of them work great, however, we suggest Perfect Player and we believe this is the most complete and reliable way for watching IPTV channels on your setup box. How to setup IPTV on Perfect player Android?
Very similar to Android setup boxes, these devices are also compatible with watching IPTV channels and also downloading iOS based video games from the Apple store. Apple TV is one the best places for watching IPTV channels on your TV. Apple TV is a powerful media device that is used for streaming media contents including the live stream.
There are found generation of Apple TV and the latest one, 4th generation, is most favored one. This device is also compatible with KODI media player and you can install IPTV channels on Kodi while using your Apple TV.
MAG is by far the best device for streaming IPTV channels. Infomir produces Set-Top Boxes following the brand name MAG. These Set-Top Boxes are multi-functional devices that allow you to quickly organize your media contents and use IPTV services.
These MAG Set-Top Boxes are implemented with super-powerful hardware that guarantees fabulous performance while running applications and IPTV streams. How to setup IPTV on a MAG device?
Enigma2 software was originally developed by Dream Multimedia. Enigma2 is a successful open source based firmware platform for set-top boxes and it is utilized by a number of different set-top box manufacturers, including the most generally known Dreambox.
Although installing IPTV channels on an Enigma2 based device is a little more complex compared to the other mentioned setup boxes in this article, you can use a known plugin called XtreamTV Plugin which makes installing IPTV channels on your setup box way more simpler. Setup IPTV using XtreamTV plugin in Enigma 2.
In this article, we tried to explain what a setup box is and then explained the most common and knows setup boxes available on the market for IPTV streaming.

Most of us have heard of distracted driving, but it appears cell phone use while walking – also known as distracted walking – is a growing danger.
More than 1,500 pedestrians were estimated to be treated in emergency rooms in 2010 for injuries related to using a cell phone while walking, according to a nationwide study by Ohio State University researchers.
The number of such injuries has more than doubled since 2005, even though the total number of pedestrian injuries dropped during that time, and researchers believe that the actual number of injured pedestrians is much higher than these results suggest.
If current trends continue, I wouldn't be surprised if the number of injuries to pedestrians caused by cell phones doubles again between 2010 and 2015.
Researchers examined data for seven years (from 2004 to 2010) involving injuries related to cell phone use for pedestrians in public areas (not at home).
A wide variety of injuries were reported including a 14-year-old boy who suffered chest and shoulder injuries after falling 6-8 feet off a bridge into a rock-strewn ditch while walking down a road talking on a cell phone.
The study appears in the August 2013 issue of the journal Accident Analysis and Prevention.
Claims Journal has more on this story.
Two separate reports, one from Aon and the other from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) highlight the impact of billion-dollar weather events.
In its latest global catastrophe recap, Aon reports that several multi-day severe weather outbreaks caused significant damage across much of the eastern and central United States during May, both causing billions of dollars in damage.
The most notable stretch was highlighted by an EF-5 tornado that caused catastrophic damage in Moore, Oklahoma. The tornado left 24 people dead, 387 injured and damaged/destroyed up to 13,000 homes and structures. At least 61 tornadoes touched down during the event.
Total economic losses were expected to approach or exceed $5.0 billion, with insured losses of $2.5 billion or more anticipated, according to Aon.
Another period of severe weather prompted multiple tornado touchdowns in the greater Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan regions.
Aon reports that at least 76 tornadoes touched down during the event, including an EF-5 with 295 mph (475 kph) winds and a record 2.6-mile width (4.2-kilometer) in El Reno, Oklahoma.
The event was also notable for a major hailstorm in Amarillo, Texas (that caused insured losses alone of $400 million), flash floods in the Plains and Midwest, and damaging winds in the Northeast. Aon reports that total economic losses are expected to be beyond $2.0 billion, with insured losses in excess of $1.0 billion.
Meanwhile, NOAA's NCDC reports that 2012 saw 11 weather and climate disaster events each with losses exceeding $1 billion in overall damages across the U.S.
The 2012 billion-dollar events included seven severe weather/tornado events, two tropical storm/hurricane events, and the year-long drought and associated wildfires.
These events caused over $110 billion in overall damages throughout the year, making 2012 the second costliest year on record. (2005 was the most costly year on record since 1980 with $160 billion (in 2005 dollars) due to four land-falling hurricanes, including Katrina.
NCDC reports that the two major drivers of damage costs in 2012 were Sandy, at approximately $65 billion in overall damages and the year-long drought at about $30 billion.
It should be noted that NCDC estimates incorporate both insured and uninsured losses and estimates from other federal agencies, state governments, insurers, and other sources.
With 11 events, 2012 also had the second highest number of billion-dollar disaster events behind 2011 which had 14 events, NCDC adds.
Check out I.I.I. facts and statistics on U.S. catastrophes.
Most U.S. listed Fortune 500 firms recognize that a cyber attack would cause serious harm or adversely impact their business, but many may be overlooking critical exposures, according to a new report by Willis North America.
For example, only one out of five firms mention cyber-terror (20 percent) as a factor, despite heightened emphasis on cyber-terror by the U.S. government.
And only six percent of companies mentioned that they purchase insurance to cover cyber risks, even though recent market surveys suggest significantly higher take-up rates.
The Willis Fortune 500 Cyber Disclosure Report, 2013, tracked organizations' response to SEC Guidance issued in October 2011, asking U.S. listed companies to provide extensive disclosure on their cyber exposures.
The report found that some 88 percent of the Fortune 500 are following SEC Guidelines as of April 2013 and providing "some level† of disclosure regarding cyber exposures. Some 36 percent disclosed that the risk was "material† or "serious†.
However, some companies within particular industries that would seem to have exposures, were silent, Willis said.
For additional information on the cyber terrorism threat, check out a just-published I.I.I. paper on terrorism risk.
An annual report from CoreLogic reveals that the number and value of total properties along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts at risk of hurricane-driven storm surge is increasing significantly.
In its 2013 analysis CoreLogic estimates that more than 4.2 million residential properties are exposed to storm-surge risk valued at roughly $1.1 trillion, with more than $658 billion of that risk concentrated in 10 major metro areas.
Louisiana ranks second in total properties at risk with just over 411,000 homes in storm-surge zones, while New York ranks second in total value of coastal properties exposed at nearly $135 billion.
CoreLogic makes the point that extensive regions along both the Gulf and Atlantic coasts are vulnerable to storm surge, and yet the homeowners who live in these areas are not required to carry flood insurance because they are not located within a designated FEMA 100-year floodplain.
CoreLogic notes that public awareness of the risk hurricane-driven storm surge poses to coastal homeowners has never been higher coming off the heels of Hurricane Sandy last fall.
According to I.I.I. facts and statistics on flood insurance, Hurricane Sandy was the sixth costliest U.S. flood, based on National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) payouts as of March 7, 2013.


Why play in the orchestra?
Orchestra is an elective at McCormick. According to the Oxford Royale Academy, students benefit from playing in orchestra because it teaches you teamwork, you have to stay organized and practice between classes, you learn how to cope under pressure, you practice being disciplined, and it helps keep you sane. McCormick students said, "I play the viola because it is fun and not very many people play it" and "I play the stand up base and I enjoy playing it because, for me, it's easier to reach the notes and it has a deeper vocal range." If you have interest in joining the orchestra please speak with Ms. Fox.

Q: CoreData NSPredicate: fetch object with UUID that is contained within a Set I have a CoreData entity with an identifier of type UUID, declared as: @NSManaged public var uuid: UUID? .
I want to create a fetch request that would return all entities for which the identifier (uuid) is contained within a Set (or array) of UUIDs. Here's my function so far:
    func delete(_ identifiers: Set<UUID>) {
        let idsToFetch = positionIDs.map { $0 as NSUUID }
        // idsToFetch is of type Array<NSUUID>

        let fetchRequest = MyEntity.fetchRequest()
        fetchRequest.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "%K IN %@", #keyPath(MyEntity.uuid), idsToFetch)

        do {
            let result = try mainContext.fetch(fetchRequest)

            for object in result {
                mainContext.delete(object)
            }
        } catch {
            // error management out of scope of this question
            return
        }
    }

I saw other answers and this post that suggest to cast each element to CArgVar, but this post suggests to use Foundation bridging equivalent instead. Either way don't return any result.
I made sure the elements I'm fetching do exist, by opening the .sql file in an editor. I can confirm that the UUID is written, but shows up as blob.
Thank you for any insight


I think every argument put forth here has Merit. And everyone of them has potential to fail at the same time.
It seems to me that some fans don't have the same horrible uneasy feeling in their stomach that I have not knowing what our direction is for QB. God bless you guys. The idea of not drafting a QB in 2019 and feeling like this for a another whole year frightens the crap out of me. The closer we get to QB hell the worse it feels. I would love to hear the game plan of anybody that actually feels fully comfortable not drafting a QB this year in the first round.
1. People that think Eli can play forever.
2. People willing to gamble and live another year in uncertainty waiting till 2020 to hopefully find a QB.
3. People that want to fill in some of the blanks with "Win now" players to get the Giants back to mediocre for a year to dull the pain.
4. People that think this year's quarterback draft class is a big, steaming pile and, therefore, not worthy of a 6th pick no matter HOW desperately we may need our next quarterback.
I believe I would fall into that group.
Certainly not as good as last year's, though. Too bad we didn't have a high pick last year!
I love hindsight...last year's QB class was so good that going into the draft, nobody could determine who the top guys were because they all had fatal flaws.
Jackson was a run-first QB and those guys aren't successful in the NFL.
We should look at the "issues" that the current crop of QB's have and see how they compare.
And always compromise your positions with excessiveness. Every single fact has to be squeezed and made to agree with your main agenda.
We average 27 points after the break when Brown was inserted into the lineup and the offensive line started to gain some cohesiveness. But you totally dismiss that, with " that doesn't count". That's a remarkable bit of alchemy, almost as if there's a fear any detail that doesn't dovetail destroys the overall argument. We put up 27 in the next-to-last game on the road Against an Indy team that was fighting for its life. A few weeks earlier we beat and put up some 27 against Chicago - a team then battling for the playoffs and driven by a strong defense. I think that you are so intense that you will go back and study those two games and look for a way to discount them.
But in fact it has to be noted that the indie game of playoff intensity didn't see obj dressed.
of this year's QB's . And next year you will hear about Tua's and Fromme's and Herberts .
Which brings up another subject. Maybe the safest player I've ever seen was saquon Barkley. He had the intelligence, the work ethic, speed, elusiveness, power, size, blogging ability, and pass-catching ability. Someone wrote, you take a quarterback 49 out of 50 times this was the 50th time. And again I disagree Cali. No matter how it turns out those were legitimate Knocks on that quarterback class. They all had upside and they may all achieve that upside, but there was also High bust potential.
Grizz, its only your opinion that last drafts QB had high bust potential .
bust chance why ? Because he had a few turnovers ? As a 20 yr old kid ?
Every draft analyst , guys who are experts loved at least Mayfield , Darnold.
To keep defending a win now plan that ended up 5-11 , why ?
you win the most games . That is not a running back at the 2nd pick when you were 3-13 and have a old , declining QB that is 38.
Except not every analyst loved Mayfield and Darnold. It was actually a bit of a surprise that Mayfield was taken first. Before that information leaked the day of the draft, everyone was talking about Darnold, Rosen and Allen. And there were tons of people on this board that were begging the team not to take Darnold because of his propensity for turnovers.
Personally, I would like to see them draft Haskins with the #6 (if he is there).
But my point is that last year's QB's all came in with question marks. We are hearing that it was one of the best QB classes in recent memory, but none of these guys was perfect. We just like to remember them as being so when comparing them to this year's "flawed" prospects.
Why is it so hard to understand no draft prospect is "perfect "
they all have flaws .
Qb's are just judged more harshly by fans who think they know the QB position.
Think they can evaluate it properly .
Darnold is very young. He has a propensity to turn the ball over. Both of those are huge red flags. Wasn't Christian Hackenberg the consensus #1 QB prospect at 20 years old. He's now in the AAF. Rosen had injury/concussion question marks. Mayfield had teams worried with his attitude that he was Manziel 2.0. Allen never played a real college defense. They all had huge question marks. They all still have major bust potential. Let's not act like the 2018 class is 1984 all over again.
Taking the best player at a position of need is exactly what led to Erik Flowers and Eli Apple being selected. What you are recommending is reaching for a pick to fill a need. Jerry Reese gets vilified here for that draft philosophy. Gettleman has stated last season, early in the first round you take the best player available. Period. Would that be Haskins at #6? I doubt it. I don't get the impression the Giants view Eli's decline is as harsh as you and others here see it. So even if they followed your draft philosophy, they would probably draft an Olineman or a pass rusher at #6. As that seems to be more of an immediate need then a QB who may or may not play all year.
That extends to every position in every sport. Fans always think they know as much as the guys being paid to know this stuff.
Darnold being so young and accomplishing so much , is not a red flag. It's incredibly impressive His numbers were down slightly in 2017 , but he still threw for 4143 yards, 26 td's . It's not that complicated , watch the rose bowl performance against penn state- it tells you how good of a prospect he was.
Reese's problem is that he took athletes over productive football players , Darnold was incredibly productive . Yes they probably will pass on the QB position again- win 7 games, have no Qb of the future and have a 39 yr old QB with an expiring contract , and no plan or future at the position . That is a horrible strategy , and a fireable offense .

A: I found the solution to this error.
When working with libraries in .aar format, it is necessary to put the .aar library in to root directory where the application folder is.


Keybase started us on simplified encrypted file sharing, where you can securely share files without any additional software. Keybase Chat is also simplified encrypted chat. There are a few encrypted messaging services hanging about – like Signal or WhatsApp – but Keybase makes it so you don't even need to exchange phone numbers, email addresses, or encryption keys.
So how does Keybase Chat work? Keybase Chat works with public accounts and usernames a person already has, and consolidates those information into one profile. You can send someone a message using their Twitter handle, or Reddit username, or any other account they may already have – no need for a phone number or email address.
You can even send someone a message even if they're not on Keybase yet. If someone joins after you've sent them a Keybase message, the app checks for proof again and the server never sees a decryption key – so it's end-to-end encryption on all messages. And even if you upgrade to a newer device your Keybase conversations survive the upgrade!
It's available on Android now, you can download it from the link below. We're going to see how this new app changes the face of private messaging as we know it, because we feel it has that potential. What do you think?

How does the new carbon pricing bill stack up?
Economist Dr. Noah Kaufman published an analysis comparing the Energy Innovation Act to other carbon fee plans. CCL's Jerry Hinkle recaps his findings.
The number of advocates for fee-and-dividend style legislation is growing by the day. What do these new groups mean for CCL and our policy?
A new conservative voice came forward last week calling for a price on carbon: Students for Carbon Dividends. In this post, CCL Conservative Outreach Director Jim Tolbert cheers them on and encourages CCLers to connect with these groups.
Last month, Graham, Collins and McCain voted to keep a rule to limit methane emissions. It's time to reassert their previous leadership on climate change.
The Wall Street Journal had lots of negative things to say about the Shultz-Baker carbon tax proposal. CCL volunteer Peter Joseph offers a rebuttal.

— Mr. Bob Odenkirk (@mrbobodenkirk) September 8, 2021
Odenkirk was taken to hospital by ambulance after he collapsed on the set of the Netflix show in New Mexico in July.
He later told fans he had suffered a "small" heart attack.
He added: "But I'm going to be OK thanks to Rosa Estrada and the doctors who knew how to fix the blockage without surgery.
"Also, AMC and SONYs support and help throughout this has been next-level. I'm going to take a beat to recover but I'll be back soon."
At the time, his former Breaking Bad co-stars sent their best wishes. Bryan Cranston told fans to send "positive thoughts and prayers his way" while Aaron Paul tweeted: "I love you my friend."
Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul is set in and mostly shot in Albuquerque, New Mexico's largest city.
Odenkirk has been nominated for four Emmys for his performance as the title character.

Every organisation in the UK can do something (at no cost) to rethink their cake culture. This could have an impact on the UK's health and consequently the NHS. Oh – and it would probably favourably impact their bottom line, too – but that's also another blog.
2. According to the World Health Organisation, we spend two thirds of our waking hours at work. If the workplace was somewhere it was easy to make healthy choices (fewer opportunities to eat extra sugar and calories for example) it would reduce exposure to tempting unhealthy food. The workplace could become a sanctuary from an environment that contrives to make us fat and ill.
3. In the UK, the workplace gives access to 75% of the population. That's an opportunity to improve health across the UK's socio-economic groups, educational levels, industrial sectors, age groups and ethnicities.
So – let's start a conversation about office cake in Britain's workplaces. Can employers ask employees how often they actually want cake? If the office cake survey results are representative the whole of the UK, reducing the amount of office cake to improve health will be straightforward.
And it might make office cake a treat again. And British business, productivity and the NHS might all benefit.
A few weeks ago, on Saturday 18th November 2017, the BBC news was talking about people losing Universal Credit payments over Christmas because they're paid weekly, a Government consultation on a levy on plastic food packaging and the non-coup in Zimbabwe. They were all issues that affect lives and the future of the planet – 'proper' issues that we should all be concerned about. Nothing as frivolous as whether or not people eat cake at work.
But also on the news that day was a story about the NHS and lack of funding for social care. And in a way this, sadly, was not really news because stories about lack of funding, service cuts and impending collapse of our health and social care system occur so regularly. This is why I'm making a fuss about office cake. Because the UK's office cake culture is part of a complex systemic behavioural problem that's causing ill-health and pulling the NHS down.
BUT the good news is I think we can do something about this by rethinking workplace cake culture – and the other good news is that, no I'm not advocating banning office cake. We don't need to because 95% of the 1000 people who took part in my recent research into office cake culture said they only wanted office cake once a week or less. 41% said once a month would be enough. So reducing office cake occasions to the levels that people seem to want would be a significant reduction.
Let me explain the link that I think exists between office cake culture and the NHS struggles.
As long as you are healthy, a slice of cake every now and again won't hurt. Left to its own devices, your brilliant body will keep blood glucose steady and automatically adjust food intake and physical activity over the next few hours and days to keep body weight constant. The odd sugary, calorific splurge is deal-able with. But, be honest – most of us don't have the odd splurge. As far as our bodies are concerned, the modern diet – full of processed foods and regular snacking – effectively means we splurge several times a day. And whatever the definition of 'a splurge', the fact that two thirds of the UK population are overweight or obese suggests we're overdoing the splurging. With rising obesity comes increased type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease and other obesity-related illnesses – including thirteen cancers according to the World Cancer Research Fund. The splurges are coming too often for bodies to automatically adjust and weight gain and other metabolic illnesses are the result.
You may be one of the remaining third of our population that manages to stay healthy with a healthy weight for your height, but you are in a fortunate minority that is shrinking year on year.
The ingredients in and our associations with cake and sweet, processed foods make it very easy to over-indulge. Evidence backs this up: cake and sweet, baked goods are the primary contributors to snack food. Obviously, food manufacturers design their products to be delicious and moreish to encourage us to eat more of them. This is the perfectly legal market economy (but don't forget that food and drink companies exist to make profits, not protect your health, whatever their marketing says). Cake and sweet things are particularly delicious and moreish although of course for some it's crisps or samosas.
Even the sight, smell or thought of food we like makes us feel hungry and want to eat. Just think about your favourite foods or even just the packaging and marketing of your favourite foods… is your mouth watering yet? Our brains recognise something we've eaten before that tasted delicious and gave us pleasure and the pleasure and reward centres in our brains respond by making us want to recreate that pleasure by eating it again. So wanting to eat a cake or doughnut is a natural human response to delicious food that we just KNOW will hit the spot and give us a dopamine hit.
So when there's a spread of cakes, tins of Quality Street or tubs of Haribo on display in the office, is it surprising that people eat it? We're not off the hook when we walk down the high street or the through the train station where every other retail outlet is flaunting fabulous foodie treats. And when we get home TV programmes and adverts bombard us with reminders that something delicious is never far from our tingling taste buds. We're persuaded that snacking and indulging in a quick energy hit is healthy and, worryingly, normal. Even more worryingly, I get regular reports of weekly cake rotas at schools and kids' sports clubs – and this is nothing to do with fundraising; it's just that it seems we cannot be more than 30 mins from our next cake fix.
Some respondents to the office cake research said cake and confectionery are available so often, they are not a treat any more. It's no longer an indulgence to be anticipated and savoured. It's something that happens several times a day, every day for so many people. And it's making us increasingly overweight and unwell. And the dear NHS is struggling.
So. While politicians, food and drink companies, economists, dieticians, doctors and scientists debate the reasons and solutions for our obesity and NHS crises, it's down to us to try to stop over eating and develop healthier lifestyles. How to lose weight was apparently the fourth most popular search in 2017 and the continuing growth of the health and weight loss sector indicates it's what many people desperately want to achieve.
We can start by rethinking office cake.

Iran Tourist Attractions
Iran is home to two well-known deserts: Lut Desert (Dasht-e Lut) and Kavir Desert (Dasht-e Kavir). In Persian, the word 'lut' means an area without any water or vegetation. This massive land covers an area of 51,800 km² and is surrounded by mountains, making it one of the driest and hottest lands on Earth. In fact, Lut Desert has a record land temperature of 70.7°C. Lut Desert has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2016.
The Lut Desert is home to strong winds for almost half a year, which has resulted in the creation of various bedrock features carved and streamlined by sandblasting (known as aeolian-yardang landforms). These yardangs are locally known as 'Kalut', they cover an extensive area in the western part of this desert and are easily accessible from Kerman.
Apart from these mysterious landforms which cover one third of the desert's land, you can find huge sand-seas throughout the eastern and southern parts of the Lut Desert. Some of these sand dunes reach a height of 475 meters and are amongst the largest dunes in the world. The desert is also home to some of the tallest nebkhas (dunes that form around vegetation) in the world, some of which are as tall as 12 meters. The Lut Desert is a place full of enigma: the more you explore it in depth, the more you will be astonished.

For example, when a burger is offered at Wendy's, it creates a sale for the company common. Nevertheless as a result of it is multi-leveled, many individuals should be paid a percentage on that single sale. So if a Wendy's burger is purchased, the sale will probably be divided between an entire host of representatives for Wendy's inside both an area or normal area.

We are on week three of Profiles and Founders: Where Are They Now? As I mentioned in Part I and Part II, I've been contributing to Forbes for two and half years now and have had the opportunity to profile great companies and interview some interesting founders. Every once in a while a reader follows up via email asking how a company is doing. I thought it would be neat to do a "where are they now?" series to check in on all the companies profiled in my column. This is the third of seven weeks of five company catch-ups. This week we check in with Bribin You, Cory Vines, DietBetter, Beckett Simonon, and Jon Teo.
On February 14th 2013, I wrote about a side project called Bribin You, from Startup Giraffe, a development shop in New York. The concept was fairly simple. It was a web tool that let you bribe people to read the emails you have sent to them. Since my post, the team at Startup Giraffe have shuttered the project. It was a great experiment but the team has moved on to greener pastures. I still, personally, think there is an interesting opportunity around monetary compensation and emails. Hopefully we'll see more experiments in the future.
On April 9th 2013, I wrote about a Montreal-based startup called Cory Vines. Since I wrote about Cory Vines (dubbed the Warby Parker of Activewear) a lot has happened. Cory Vines is on track to do three times their first year's sales. They have restructured their product offering to provide three distinct collections for their consumers to better orient themselves with the products that will empower their fitness activities of choice. Additionally, they have expanded their 3-person bootstrapped team into a 10-person operation. Most importantly, they've progressed from being an online-only eCommerce brand to a company that's passionate about providing direct-to-consumer retail through omni-channel offerings.
In the next few months, you'll be able to see them in a major department store and select gyms and studios across North America. The cornerstone of this new direction was the opening of a 3-month pop-up shop in the heart of Montreal. Aptly titled Le Sweat Shop, they aim to be a unique lifestyle retail experience, a one-stop shop for your active, well-balanced life - there, you'll find their latest gear and you can hang out and grab a fresh pressed refreshment at their juice bar.
On April 25th 2013, I wrote about a NYC-based startup called DietBetter (formerly known as DietBet). DietBetter, which uses financial incentives to keep dieters accountable, has now paid out over $6 million to its winners. Since my article about them they've signed up some of the biggest fitness celebrities to lead dietbets, including Jillian Michaels, who just led their biggest game with a $272,000 pot and over 9000 players. Dietbetting has been spreading around the world with players from over 70 countries using the platform to lose over one million pounds.
On June 20th 2013, I wrote about a Colombia-based startup called Beckett Simonon. Beckett Simonon sells high quality Men's shoes direct-to-consumer. The article was a mix of a company highlight and discussion about the issues around Immigration reform. I caught up with the founders and they shared some updates. The first is that their sales in the first semester of 2014 have grown 54% compared to the second semester of 2013. They reached 2.2 million page views on their website. They established new manufacturing facilities in Colombia in order to serve the Latin American market. They are developing special products for the retail channel, both with their own brand and also for other brands' private-labels. They continue to bootstrap and are happy they have financial control over their own destiny and company goals.
On August 8th 2013, I wrote about a SV-based investor named Jonathan Teo. Jon was a key player at funds that invested in Twitter , Instagram, Snapchat, and Tinder. In the months following the profile and interview, Jonathan continued on his travel adventures, spending 6 months backpacking in South America and Tibet. He then returned to the States and raised a record-setting venture fund focused on early-stage consumer technology investments with his friend Justin Caldbeck. Binary Capital's first fund came in at $125M, raised in a single close in just over 14 weeks. They turned away half as many dollars due to the overwhelming interest in their global, mission-focused fund designed to provide entrepreneurs with the resources to get to international scale. He has since taken up residence back in San Francisco but continues to travel through multiple cities seeking out great entrepreneurs.

Henri Arends (8 May 1921 – 6 August 1994) was a Dutch conductor.

Arends was born in Maastricht, and belongs to the generation of conductors who paid as much attention to modern music as to that of the classic and romantic periods.

Originally a violinist, he attended the courses for conductors at the Mozarteum of Salzburg under Carlo Zecchi and at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena under Paul van Kempen.

Already in that time he achieved notice for his mature interpretations and for his exceptional musical memory. Wilhelm Furtwängler, the great German conductor, who saw him working with the Mozarteum Orchestra predicted him a brilliant career.

From 1953 until 1957, he was assistant and later second conductor of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, under first conductor Eduard van Beinum, in Amsterdam and choirmaster of the Toonkunst-choir.

It was as first conductor and musical director of the North Holland Philharmonic that he attracted attention for his completely fresh approach to a vast repertoire and for his highly original efforts to attract new audiences to the concert hall. among these successful enterprises was the formation of the famous "Heart's Desires Festivals", which were aimed at young people.

As guest conductor, Arends performed at many concerts in his country and abroad.

He conducted a.o. the radio-orchestras of Hilversum, Paris, Helsinki, Nice and Geneva; the FOK-orchestra of Prag, the Philharmonics of Brno, Ostrawa, Kraków, Lodz, Katowice, Danzig, Budapest, Innsbruck, Osnabrück, Aachen and the Salzburg Mozarteum orchestra. He also appeared with orchestras in South-Africa (Cape Town and Johannesburg) and with orchestras in the United States (New York and Baton rouge). He died in Lanaken.

Media building opens – sorta
Shawntaye Hopkins
This week, Pam Johnson is nestling into her new office in the Mass Media and Technology Hall.
But Johnson, the new director of the School of Journalism and Broadcasting, is one of the few faculty members moving in.
Others still have to wait.
Yesterday, students attended the first journalism classes held in Media Hall, which was supposed to open in November 2002. Because of scheduling delays, office changes and final touches are still in progress.
"The building is what we call 90-plus percent complete," said John Osborne, associate vice president for campus services and facilities.
Media Hall is an 111,264 square-foot building with several lobby areas, carpeted classrooms and offices, large windows, student computer labs, a skylight, a photo studio and an auditorium.
Jo-Ann Albers, former director of the School of Journalism and Broadcasting, said the building was very open and should be a friendly place.
"I think it's wonderful," she said. "It isn't as much as we'd hoped for, but it's still wonderful."
Albers said she'd wished for bigger offices in Media Hall, and there were a few other things that couldn't be done because they didn't fit in the budget.
The cost of the building will reach the budgeted $18.5 million in state funding, Osborne said.
Ed West, the director of planning design and construction, said there were also $1.5 million in private donations that funded the project's plaza and the Guthrie Bell Tower.
Journalism classes, except photojournalism, are currently being held on all three floors of the building. Photojournalism classes remain on the top floor of the Garrett Conference Center until new equipment is installed on the first floor of Media Hall.
Faculty are expected to move into the hall on Sept. 8.
Richard KirchmeyerCQ, vice president of Information Technology, said Media Hall has been examined by a state building inspector and is ready for occupancy, but most of the offices don't have telephone or network connections yet.
None of the classes will have their planned audiovisual equipment until about five weeks after a vendor is chosen for installation, Kirchmeyer said.
He said vendors have until mid-September to place bids.
West said he doesn't expect other finishing touches – including laying sidewalks, landscaping, painting, and working on floors and ceilings – to interfere with classes.
"The building is fully functional," West said.
Until June, the project was headed by Madisonville-based Star Construction, which was awarded the contract in April 2001.
"Western felt the project had been behind from the very beginning, but the state did not respond," West said.
He said Star fell behind schedule in addition to having financial problems.
But Western officials don't expect to have these problems again.
"We no longer will be in the state system," West said. "We are opting out under House bill 622."
That move, approved by the Board of Regents last semester, will allow the university to manage its own financial operations, including construction projects. The state previously ran all major construction projects at Western.
Osborne said delays occurred because Star was unable to keep an adequate staff on the project. He said the only changes Western made during construction were in the regents room as donors contributed more money.
Contractors at Star Construction could not be reached for comment.
After Star pulled out, Merit Construction Inc. of Knoxville, Tenn. was brought to complete the project by Acquity, a bonding company who insured the building would be completed on budget, West said.
"The contractor that came in did a fantastic job of getting us where we are right now," West said. "We didn't get the building finished as planned, but we focused on what we needed to do to have classes in the building."
Delays in the schedule have caused a series of moving complications on the Hill.
The data center on the third floor of the Wetherby Administration Building will move into the Media Hall on September 12, Kirchmeyer said. He said students and faculty can expect the network to be down for at least that weekend. Information Technology will also move from Wetherby to the new facility.
Bob EdwardsCQ, assistant vice president of University Relations, said media relations, publications and communications will move from Van Meter Hall into Wetherby. Edwards has already relocated into Wetherby.
Edwards said the move allows for more accessibility to the offices of Tom HilesCQ, the vice president for institutional advancement, and President Gary Ransdell.
Scott StrootCQ, theater and dance department head, said the theater department is planning to move several faculty and create an acting studio in Gordon Wilson Hall, but journalism professors still occupy the space.
"It will be an inconvenience, but I'm not totally worried," he said.
Stroot hopes the renovations for the acting studio on the third floor of Gordon Wilson and the office changes will occur by the end of the semester.
The forensics team, who have occupied a room in the basement of Cherry Hall, will move into Garrett after photojournalism moves into the Media Hall and the space has been renovated for the team.
Forensics Coach Jace LuxCQ looks forward to that happening before next semester.
He said the move is needed for the team, which won three national and one international forensics tournaments last year.
"Our team's gotten a lot bigger in the last couple of years and our staff's gotten bigger as well," he said.
Though delays push the Media Hall's completion date nearly a year behind schedule, many students seem pleased with the outcome.
Louisville senior Matt HiltonCQ talked to himself as he walked into Media Hall Monday for his 12:20 broadcasting class.
"Fancy," he said.
