Editor's Note: Attending Linux Business Expo
Bad Karma from Microsoft to Blame?
The Linux Business Expo--held in conjunction with Spring COMDEX and Windows World in Chicago--didn't have the same sense of excitement found at previous Linux shows. Part of the reason for that was logistical, as Spring COMDEX tends to draw smaller crowds than Fall COMDEX. And part of the reason had to do with timing, as Montreal's Linux Expo attracted a wide range of Linux vendors (Red Hat Software, Stormix, Linux-Mandrake) who skipped Linux Business Expo.
So how successful was Linux Business Expo in pushing the Linux agenda? Moderately. Between meetings with Linux vendors--which I'll cover a little later--I spent some time watching attendees visit the Linux booths to see what they were asking for.
Generally, the attendees fell into two camps: folks who knew Linux well and were using it on a personal level, and folks who didn't use Linux intimately but were curious enough to sit through a presentation. I can't say that there were a lot of sophisticated Linux users at the show, but there was a general awareness of Linux that made baseline Linux evangelism unnecessary. (Digression: How does one get to become a "Linux evangelist"? It seems like every other day you find some yahoo or another proclaiming themselves to being a self-proclaimed "Linux evangelist." Quite often these "evangelists" are fringe players who contribute little to the Linux community. Too many Linux evangelists, not enough shotguns.) Indeed, we've already won the first battle in creating a solid base of Linux awareness in the overall computing community.
Some highlights at the show:
- There was a beehive of activity surrounding the BSD booth. Sure, part of it was trade-show schtick, as folks were lining up to have their pictures taken with the BSD Devil and to snare free devil horns. But there was genuine interest in BSD from many, many potential customers who want an alternative to Windows or commercial UNIX and who were evaluating BSD on the same basis as Linux.
- There was also a beehive of activity surrounding the certification examinations offered by the Linux Professional Instiutute. Dan York has done an admirable job in making Linux certification something to be taken seriously (as opposed to the joke-like MCSE). As more vendors sign on, Linux certification will be more and more important.
- Solid attendance at the SuSE and Caldera booths. Presentations at both booths were filled to capacity, even though neither company was throwing out mass quantities of giveaways to attendees (unlike the seals who show up to the Microsoft booth and clap their hands in order to snare a T-shirt).
- The first public appearance by SCO after reorganizing the firm into three groups and making more of a commitment to Open Source. At the show it was announced that two useful developer tools were released as Open Source, with more technology coming down the pike. Perhaps the most refreshing thing about the SCO booth was that it didn't even contain a PC: just people there to answer questions.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Saturday, July 18, 2009
Al Parker: "... ideas of quality that are echoed in the work of today."
-- Al Parker, 1964
"The magazines of the early 1940s concentrated on new formats for entertaining their most important reader: the young housewife and mother. The need was met in editorial art by depicting an idealized world peopled with handsome men and gorgeous women."
-- Al Parker
"Prettiness prevailed, and warts and all were a no-no."
-- Al Parker
"Art involves a constant metamorphosis . . . due both to the nature of the creative act and to the ineluctable march of time."
-- Al Parker
"The old style was dead and the problem was not of finding a new one to supplant it, but one of somehow breathing life into the inert gesture."
-- Al Parker
"While one gleans from his output so many escapists pictures, with an air of consciously-sought charm and a craftsmanship to the point of prodigality, these escapist illustrations had ideas of quality that are echoed in the work of today."
-- Al Parker ("[writing] in defense of himself, using the third person as if describing another")
This is the 999th post on Today's Inspiration. Tomorrow, some thoughts on the first thousand and (hopefully) the next thousand.

Leif, on the cusp of your 1,000th post, the highest praise I can offer your wonderful blog is that it consistently lives up to its title: the art that you select for us is inspiring, the thoughts you provide about the art are inspired, and most of all, your boundless energy and devotion for these wonderful artists (and their remaining families) is an inspiration to all of us. You do a terrific job assembling this information from the most unlikely places and you put it together in a firm, methodical way that will serve as a reliable foundation for art historians of the future. It is always a treat to come here.ReplyDelete
Illustrator Murray Tinkelman poetically summarized the views of many when he said, "I don't know how Leif finds the time to take a piss." Leif, on the occasion of your 1,000th post, you have our permission to take a quick bathroom break but be sure to come right back.
- Charlie Allen4:08 PM
Yeah, Leif, and hurry up! Amen, and second the motion, to D. Apatoff's eloquently worded thanks and tribute. And....we need 1000 more TI's at least! Congratulations and just plain thanks for all the pleasure and education you've provided to all who are even slightly interested in art, artists, and illustration. And thanks for posting the scans this week I'd sent along, and for all the others. I will never cease being amazed by the towering talents and versatility that Al Parker displayed in his career. A true privilege to read and see examples come alive again in your inspirational blog. Thanks ain't enough!ReplyDelete
I totally agree. Keep up the great work you do!ReplyDelete
You have certainly convinced me that Al Parker is one of the best illustrators of all time. Some (most!) of those are so good it hurts.ReplyDelete
Congrats on your upcoming 1000th.
- Anonymous7:02 AM
Thanks so much for this great blog, if "blog" is the right description. It's something much more than a blog, from my perspective.ReplyDelete
And that green and blue and yellow doorway painting by Parker is amazing, isn't it?
- Rich12:57 PM
I'm also simply amazed by this nightly doorway illustration by Parker.ReplyDelete
What's the difference between this one and Edward Hopper's lonesome "Nighthawks"?
Well, Parker's illustration I haven't ever seen before. Eduard Hopper's is world-famous. But I hardly can see any difference in quality between the two.
- Charlie Allen11:04 PM
Another comment....can't resist on Parker. Most illustrators and artists have a style and recognizable technique. Like hand writing and a person's signature...they're inseparable. You could always recognize a Fawcett, Sickles, Ludekins, Briggs, Whitcomb, and the rest, immediately by the technique and approach. Not so with Al Parker. He was the only illustrator that tailored his illustrations to the story....the story determined his concept, technique, and totally original approach. On these examples....the illustration of Max Schulman's 'Girls' absolutely fit the age and hilarious Schulman humor. (Read 'Rally Around the Flag' if you haven't) On the lonely guy, and gal in phone booth....a full value, 'big city' illustration....as Rich says, every bit as good as Hopper on its' mood. Could be in oils, but probably gouache. Then the Asian young lady in the wooden tub.....delicate line and wash, a total adaptation in technique to the story....very much like a Japanese print....but better. Al Parker set the standard for what illustration should do....illuminate, and contribute, to what the author wants to communicate to his readers. What a truly great illustrator!ReplyDelete
Thanks for all the hard work Leif. This work was getting moldy in old bookstores before you, David Apatoff, and a few others helped make it widely available. I used to be thrilled to find even 5 examples of my favorite illustrator's work per year, after searching many dusty book bins and thrift stores. And the conversation was usually a few sentences per year with a fellow fan you'd run across. You've made it very easy to enjoy and discuss this stuff. You really are running a museum, in a way! Thanks for that.ReplyDelete


text: The notion of enjoying a cold one aboard a rush-hour commuter train leaving Manhattan may seem like a time-honored tradition, evoking visions of communal bar cars or perhaps a cocktail hour spent in solitude at one's seat. But after midnight on weekends, the specter of alcohol aboard Long Island Rail Road trains carries a far more malevolent overtone; passengers described them as the "drunk trains," characterized by fights and boisterous behavior. In March, passengers were accused of attacking two conductors.

The Friends tradition demands a great deal from the average member. Each of us is called to be a leader. Depending on our spiritual gifts each of us will provide leadership in different areas of our life together. Some are called and gifted to focus on pastoral care and counseling. Others for evangelism. Some teach, and others give vocal ministry in the meeting for worship. Everyone has a part to play, and many of us have more than one role that we are gifted for.
As followers of Jesus, we are all called to holiness; to leadership; to lives totally devoted to God's service. We are also invited to participate in the decision-making of the Church. Gathered together in the Spirit, our lives - as individuals and as congregations - come to reflect God's will and character.
How do we empower each sister and brother to live fully into the leadership that God is calling them to? How do we hold one another accountable as fellow learners in the school of the Spirit? How do we show the unconditional love of Christ Jesus, even while upholding the integrity of the community?
1. 1 Peter 2:9

After a year of clashes on Capitol Hill over trillion-dollar deficits, 40 is suddenly the biggest number in congressional politics, as Democrats and House Republicans clash over a payroll-tax cut and other measures set to expire on Jan. 1.
Forty dollars is the average drop that some 160 million Americans will see in their paychecks, if Congress doesn't act.
A White House call for responses to what a $40 tax hike means to families produced thousands of tweets in just 24 hours. Replies included: "nearly a tank of gas," "feeding my family for three nights," "two months of vet care," "co-pay for prescription drugs," and "default on my mortgage, so I can feed my son."
With just 10 days before the payroll tax "holiday" and other measures expire, the cost to American families of gridlock as usual on Capitol Hill is immediate and personal. Democrats and the White House are counting on public outrage to force Speaker John Boehner – and the tea-party backed conservatives who pushed GOP leaders to take on this fight – to cave.
"The average Republican House member is going to hear from their constituents, and the pressure to come back and pass our bill is just going to increase," said Sen. Charles Schumer (D) of New York in a conference call with reporters on Wednesday.
"If it's really a one-year deal you want, so do we," he added. "We will be the first ones on a plane to work out a one-year deal but on one condition: First pass the Senate's two-month agreement, then we can negotiate right away and maybe have the whole thing done by New Years."
In a bid to dramatize the impasse, House Democratic whip Steny Hoyer and Rep. Chris van Hollen (D) of Maryland took to the House floor in a bid to pass the Senate bill by unanimous consent. They were gaveled down at the start of a pro forma session that only lasted a few minutes.
"The House Republican leadership never even allowed a vote on the bipartisan Senate bill," says Mr. Van Hollen, the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee. "The reason they didn't allow a vote was that they knew it would pass on a bipartisan vote."
The payroll tax impasse began on Tuesday, as House Republicans rejected a Senate bill that would have extended the payroll tax and other expiring provisions for two months, on a party-line vote, 229 to 193. The Senate bill, which passed 89 to 10, also extended expiring federal benefits for jobless workers and blocked a 27.4 percent drop in payments to doctors serving Medicare patients, set to take hold on Jan. 1.
Speaker Boehner called for Senate Democrats to return to Washington to work out differences with the House. He called on President Obama to help persuade Democrats to come to the table.
But on Wednesday, the Speaker and eight negotiators appointed to conference with Senate Democrats met at an empty table and under a hail of criticism.
- The Wall Street Journal's editorial page dubbed the payroll tax strategy "a fiasco."
- Sen. John McCain (R) of Arizona retweeted the WSJ editorial to his 1.7 million followers.
- Senate Republicans stepped up public criticism of House GOP leaders for blocking a bipartisan solution to the impasse, and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, since Sunday, went silent.
"We are here in Washington working today because we want to make sure that the middle class and working families of this country have some certainty that their taxes will not go up for the entirety of next year," said House majority leader Eric Cantor (R) of Virginia, at a photo op at the start of Wednesday's meeting.
"Frankly, that's the only issue with which we differ with the Senate. And we're asking, as the Speaker said, for the Senate majority leader to appoint conferees to come join us to try and finish the work for the American people before the end of the year," he added.
Senate Republican leaders and eight members appointed to serve on the conference committees say they are committed to staying in Washington to find a solution. But House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi or Senate majority leader Harry Reid say they will not appoint conferees or negotiate with the House until the House votes to accept the Senate measure.
In a letter on Wednesday, Senator Reid again called on the House to take up the Senate bill. "Because we have a responsibility to assure middle-class families that their taxes will not go up while we work out our differences, we must pass this immediate extension first," he wrote.
Summing up how Democrats view House GOP leverage on this issue, Senator Schumer told reporters today: "They're at the end of the rope."

I have an EC-12 hull, Robin 0002 Sail # 1575, that was given to me. It had hull cracks and the deck was trashed. I've re-glassed the cracks and taken off the trashed deck. The boat had nothing else, no sales, servos, fittings etc.
I see that some used EC-12's go for as little as $400, which is probably less than I'll have to pay if I have to buy a new main winch, servos, sails, rig etc for this one so I'm looking for ideas. My finances are rather limited.

Homemade Christmas: Tomato Cage Christmas Tree
If your front yard doesn't have trees,
just make some!
Our front stoop was lacking
Christmas bling...
so I made a tree
out of two (upside down)
Tomato Cages
(from my gardening shed)
two lengths of 9 foot garland
(from my attic)
some plastic Ornaments
and a string of what we refer to as
"Charlie Brown"
Christmas Lights
I secured the garland
by wrapping the "branches"
(they are wired)
to each other and the cage.
I used bits of
brown florist wire
to tie the ornaments onto the tree.
I did not add branches,
that's just the garland poking out!
I used some wire stakes
(just cut a wire hanger and bend it into an
upside down "V")
to secure the "tree"
in my pot.
Note: I started with one Tomato cage
and got all of the garland wrapped around it
then, realized it was too heavy
so I just added a second cage underneath.
This would be beautiful with
'real' garland, pine cones
and cranberries!

Weelicious Cookbook
I first met Catherine McCord this passed April at the Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles. I was holed up waiting to tape Jimmy Kimmel Live and trying not to be very social until it was all over. But for some reason I decided that Catherine McCord would be the right person to see during my self-imposed isolation. So she came on by and we had a little prosecco together and immediately fell into conversation as if we were very old friends. We had been set up on a blind date of sorts by our mutual literary agent who just felt like we should know each other. And she was so, so right.
Catherine has a new book out that focuses on incorporating healthy fruits and vegetables into every day eating in a way that is accessible. Her recipes are fun and inventive and especially good for the younger people in your life. She has a wonderful philosophy on how to involve children in what they are eating, starting from the farmers' market where they pick out their food and get to carry it and interact with it on the journey to the plate. You can see why I like that philosophy : )
These beet velvet cupcakes are a perfect example. I always felt that I wanted beets in my cupcakes but didn't know it until Catherine showed them to me. A recipe for them from this wonderful book is below. And I'm also giving away a copy to one lucky winner. Simply enter in any and all of the ways below. And if you just can't wait for the book, you can purchase it wherever books are sold.
You will love this book and so will your children. As she says, it's all about "one family, one meal." I hope you win it!
In Catherine's words: "Now and then, we love taking the kids by our favorite neighborhood cupcake store to enjoy a special treat. Of course their eyes are always drawn to the most colorful cupcakes in the display case. My kids may have no idea how they actually taste, but put something like a red velvet cupcake made with crimson food dye in front of them and their immediate response is, "That one." These chocolate velvet cupcakes have a rich chocolate flavor, but they aren't artificially red like cupcakes that use chemical food dyes. They and their icing get their bright reddish-pink color from a surprising, delicious, and 100% natural guest: roasted beets. You'd never know that though, since there's no beet flavor in them. Just deep, rich chocolate! I offer two ingredient versions for the frosting here, one white and one a delightful beet-stained pink!"
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable or canola oil
- 1 large beet, roasted, cooled, peeled, and pureed (about ¾ cup)
- (see to Puree beets)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Cream Cheese Frosting:
- ½ cups For White Frosting
- one 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- For Pink Frosting:
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 medium beet, roasted, cooled, peeled, and pureed (about ½ cup)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Sift the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt into a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the rest of the ingredients.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring to combine thoroughly as you go.
- Pour about 1/3 cup batter into paper-lined muffin cups and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool thoroughly, frost, and serve. The cupcakes will keep in a covered container on the counter for 1 day, or in the fridge for up to 3 days, or you can freeze them for up to 3 months.
- To puree Beets: Preheat the oven to 375 F. Wrap the beets in foil and bake for 45 minutes, or until fork-tender. Remove the beets from the foil and set aside until cool to the touch. Put your hand in a zip-top bag (to avoid staining your hand) and rub the skins from the beets. Puree the beets until smooth.

Students read a selection from a book of their choice for 30-60 seconds out loud. After reading the selection, they rewind the tape to the beginning and put on their headphones to playback their recording. They are then able to listen to themselves reading the selection. This is such an excellent tool to give them a whole new dimension of listening to their words and reading. They can hear their voice, inflection, and fluency all within one small selection. Additionally, it allows them to hear mistakes they may be making but not catching while reading.
I have to say I was so impressed by my students and their work with the fluency recordings. I was a tad bit nervous about the noise levels while students were recording, but so far they have handled themselves wonderfully while at the center.
I would also like to say a big thank you to Ms. Skibba and Mrs. Sanders for coming in and helping to get things running last week! We are all so excited to continue learning and utilizing more tools on the iPads.

2013 Kia Rio ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Stylish, efficient and fun.
The Kia Rio delivers excellent fuel economy, perky performance and a strong warranty for an attractive price with a degree of style. Rio also offers refinement not often found in a subcompact, and it's roomy and comfortable. Completely redesigned for the 2012 model year, Rio is available in two body styles: the four-door Rio sedan and Rio 5-door hatchback.
For 2013, changes to the Kia Rio are minimal. The 2013 Kia Rio sedan and hatchback get a revised badge on the hood, trunk lid and steering wheel. Steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters now come on the SX model; hatchback EX and SX trims get a standard cargo floor tray and net. Also, an automatic stop/start feature is included with the optional Eco package.
The Rio four-door sedan and Rio 5-door hatchback share styling influences but not all details; with different grilles, tails and side scallops they look more like siblings than twins. Compared with other subcompacts, the Kia Rio models are wider, have a longer wheelbase, shorter overall length and lower roofline; only Nissan's Versa is considerably bigger outside.
Kia Rio mechanicals go a step better than basic econo-car. Its 1.6-liter engine uses direct injection to aid power and fuel economy, resulting in the best horsepower in the segment and fuel economy highway ratings in the 40-mpg range. The optional Idle Stop and Go system found on the Eco package, typically reserved for more expensive cars, automatically turns the engine off and on at long stops, saving more fuel for urban drivers and reducing emissions.
Rio's all-disc brakes are uncommon in this bracket, as are its available 17-inch wheels. Suspension is conventional in design, delivering a ride suitable for long commutes and behavior suitable for the class.
Cabins are nicely put together. They're easy to live with and not overwrought with gimmicky styling. Everything is easy to operate and anyone can quickly master the controls. Kia's reputation for value is carried on by standard features such as air conditioning and power-heated mirrors. Mid-line Rio models have Bluetooth as standard. Upgrades include navigation, Kia's UVO infotainment system by Microsoft, rear camera, leather upholstery and heated front seats.
Both sedan and hatchback models offer useful space; we favor the hatch for its added load flexibility and maneuverability. Rio seats are comfortable. And there's good cubby storage in the center console and side door pockets. Interior room stacks up well against competitors, but while Rio is best in terms of front legroom, it suffers from cramped legroom in the rear.
On the road, the Rio is smooth and feels refined for the class. The ride is taut without being firm, the feeling one of stability and not punishment.
The 2013 Kia Rio is a considered a subcompact car and competes against the Ford Fiesta, Chevrolet Sonic, Hyundai Accent, Nissan Versa, Honda Fit, and Toyota Yaris.
The 2013 Kia Rio is offered as a five-door hatchback and a four-door sedan. All Rio models come with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine.
Rio LX ($13,600) and Rio 5-door LX ($13,800) are equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox or optional 6-speed automatic ($1,100). LX models come with cloth upholstery, air conditioning, wind-up windows and manual door locks, heated power mirrors, tilt steering, variable intermittent wipers, six-way manual driver seat, split folding rear seat, AM/FM/CD/MP3/AUX/USB stereo with steering wheel controls and 15-inch steel wheels. Rio 5-door hatchbacks include rear wipe/wash.
Rio EX ($16,500) and Rio 5-door EX ($16,700) come with the 6-speed automatic. Rio EX models upgrade with power windows and locks, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, Bluetooth, sliding center console armrest, front tweeters, metallic cabin trim with faux leather door panels, power-folding mirrors, cruise control, and chrome trim. Optional is a Convenience package ($1,150) adds a leather-wrapped steering wheel, additional interior lighting, upgraded audio system with UVO-by-Microsoft rear camera, side mirrors with integrated turn signals, automatic headlamps, fog lamps and 15-inch alloy wheels. The Eco Package ($400) includes automatic stop/start, which turns the engine off when stopped to save fuel.
Rio SX ($17,700) and Rio 5-door SX ($17,900) are offered with the automatic transmission only and come with everything found on the EX plus a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, dual exhaust outlets, sports suspension calibration, 205/45R17 tires on alloy wheels, larger front brakes, projector headlamps, LED tail and front running lamps, fog lamps, painted center dash, alloy pedal covers, and UVO entertainment with rear camera. A premium package ($2,300) adds leather upholstery, heated front seats, pushbutton start/smart key, LED map lights, UVO navigation and moonroof.
Safety features, all standard, include front airbags, front side-impact airbags, side curtain airbags, electronic stability control and hill-start assist.
Family resemblances are apparent with the Kia Rio. Certain styling cues are shared with the current-generation Optima midsize sedan, which underwent an extreme makeover from dowdy to dapper in its last redesign. Rio's looks aren't groundbreaking, but they are as contemporary as anything in the class.
Rio sedan and hatchback models share front doors and basic structures but surface cosmetics keep them separate. The sedan mirrors the Optima more, with the pinched center top grille and full-width lower air intake. The hatchback has a much smaller upper grille, almost like an engine air intake rather than cooling, and a deeper lower grille segmented in three sections where the angled side sections meet the flat center. Sedan and hatch models use different headlamp housings, and the SX version of each also gets unique lights, including LED daytime running lights. On both body styles the front wheels are well outboard of the headlights, adding a lower, more aggressive look; it's not mean, nor as comic-like as some small cars.
A pronounced wedge profile in side view shares a deep front door window, and ahead of the mirror, a small triangular piece of fixed glass that's quite useful for driver vision. The top crease of the scallop in the door panels echoes the windshield pillar line and fairs rearward, on the sedan leading directly to the top of the taillight. Combined with the slender roof pillar and minimal painted surfaces above the lamps, the sedan has an elegant, light, tailored look, disguising the substantial trunk height.
On the hatch the roofline tapers down, pinching the rear windows, one reason the Rio hatch does not have more rear-seat headroom than the sedan. The short rear panels wrap around into the hatch, the lights protruding slightly (but still well inside the bumper) for better all-around viewing and staying cleaner in bad weather. On SX models, the taillights have LED elements.
The hatchback's rear window is close to horizontal at the top edge, fitted with a small spoiler, and close to a semicircular arc along the bottom edge, reminiscent of the grinning grille on some Mazdas. A dark close-out panel sweeps up from behind the rear wheels serves to visually lower and widen both models. And on both cars the license plate is in this recess, not the hatch or trunk lid, so you never hear it rattle. With trunk or hatch open some portion of the taillights and low-mount reflectors remain visible to improve night-loading safety.
Compared with the Ford Fiesta, Chevrolet Sonic, Honda Fit, and Toyota Yaris, the Rio has a longer wheelbase but shorter overall length, and it's wider and lower than most. Extra wheelbase helps ride quality and stability, but a longer wheelbase with a shorter overall length also means shorter overhangs front and rear. All these dimension play into how the Rio comes across a bit sportier than most other subcompacts. The other aspect is that few competitors offer big 17-inch wheels.
The Kia Rio EX interior has a pleasant appearance with soft-touch dash and door panels you don't get on some cars a class higher, matte-silver trim, a lacquer-black finish to the ventilation control panel, and with substantial push switches along the lower edge. While it doesn't scream luxury, it doesn't scream economy car, either.
Cloth upholstery feels smooth and breathable to the touch; we never slid around or got stuck to it in muggy weather. The driver's seat offers height adjustment and all but the base model have a tilt and telescoping steering column to find a proper driving position. The front bucket seats have enough lateral retention for spirited driving and support sufficient for one-hour drives. Some long-legged types noted short seat cushions but found the cabin roomier than expected.
Rear-seat space is small, yet comparable to others in the class and is fine for kids or petite adults. Duck your head for entry if you're more than 5-foot, 9-inches and skip the back seats entirely if you're more than 6 feet tall. We did stuff most of a 6-foot, 3-inch tester in, but getting his second size-12 foot inside was mildly problematic.
A 13-button steering wheel (on the Rio EX) groups controls for audio, cruise, trip computer, and phone on four spokes, with standard stalk controls on both sides. The three-cylinder instrument panel provides the usual info, including an engine temperature gauge many manufacturers have relegated to warning lights. Crisp white-on-black lighting with red needles and central display ensures readability day or night. The traditional key was welcome, though at least once we had trouble pulling it back out of the ignition.
Audio inputs and power points are ahead of the shifter, the control panel top center. Our co-pilot had some issues requesting tracks by name through Bluetooth, but noted this problem has occurred before with the device out of its home continent. All the hard- and soft-key controls functioned as we hoped, as did the ventilation system. The automatic shifter has manual up/down on the driver's side where it belongs.
Cubby storage up front is good, with a variety of sizes and shapes; the glovebox is big and the box next to the radio will not hold many smartphones. Amenities include exterior temperature indication, map lights, and covered (but not lighted) visor vanity mirrors on both sides.
Cargo space is reasonably good at 15 cubic feet with all seats in place, and a roomy 49.8 cubes with the split rear seats folded flat. But to do the latter, you might need to temporarily move the front seats forward so the rear headrests can drop clear. The cars we drove had no spare tire, but there appears to be room for one if you don't want run-flat tires.
Relative to others in the class, the Rio has competitive seating dimensions and cargo capacity, trading the most generous front legroom for tightest rear legroom. It's important to note that standardized measures of trunk space vary by sedans and hatchbacks, so comparing sedans and hatchbacks using the cargo numbers can be misleading.
Driving Impression
The Kia Rio is fun to drive, with a willing engine, 6-speed transmissions, and capable if unsophisticated suspension. It conveys willing, youthful energy.
A 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine is the only one offered. It employs direct fuel injection, first used on a street car more than 50 years ago and still reserved primarily for more expensive cars. This yields good power and fuel economy. The Rio's 138 horsepower is better than anything in the class except the Chevrolet Sonic with the same rating. Peak torque is 123 pound-feet at a fairly high 4850 rpm, but again this has most of the class covered, except for the Sonic's optional turbocharged 1.4-liter at 148 pound-feet.
The Rio needs to be revved for maximum power, but so do most gasoline engines. This one is smooth so it doesn't really matter if you want to push hard because it adds only a bit of busy noise, absent the vibration or harshness. And with the most power and among the lightest weight in the segment, the Rio accelerates comparably well.
Fuel economy is another good story for the Rio. EPA numbers are 30/40 mpg City/Highway, which are unmatched by the Fiat 500, Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, Ford Fiesta, Nissan Versa, or Chevrolet Sonic, though a couple of them can match the Rio automatic's EPA Combined rating of 33 mpg. Even the special fuel-economy models that account for a small fraction of sales don't rate 30 mpg City with an automatic. (Keep in mind these are EPA estimates and driving style makes far greater differences.)
While Rio's direct injection helps fuel economy, so do 6-speed transmissions where competitors often use 4- or 5-speeds. More gears allows better acceleration, lower highway engine speed, or both, hence better performance and fuel economy in the same car.
An optional Eco Package on the Rio EX features an automatic stop/start feature, dubbed Idle Stop and Go (ISG). Often found only on more expensive cars, this system switches the engine off at stops and restarts it when time to go, saving gas in urban situations and adding one mile per gallon to the city rating. ISG requires nothing of the driver: No switches to activate, no shifting into neutral, no special pedal techniques. As the car stops with the brake pedal depressed the car disengages transmission from engine and switches it off. As you lift your foot off the brake pedal the car restarts and you drive off as normal.
The automatic stop/start system on the Eco package works just as it should, and helps save fuel if your daily commute involves lots of stop-and-go traffic. On a hot, humid day with AC on, we averaged near 35 mpg, not bad in light of the circumstances.
Both transmissions are easy to operate. The automatic has been programmed for economy so you have to be forceful with the gas pedal to effect a downshift when speed is needed, or you can shift manually; it will hold the gear selected even if you mat the accelerator in sixth gear. The manual offers light throws and clutch action, not as precise as a Fit perhaps but we never got the wrong gear. Throttle activation has been tamed relative most recent Kia models, so it doesn't jump forward with just a minor touch on the pedal. Rio now has hill start assist to keep it from rolling backward on uphill starts.
On the road, the Rio feels quite comfortable, though the road surface determines how much noise seeps in from the rear tires. The ride is taut without being firm, the feeling one of stability and not punishment. Wind noise is not an issue, at least up to Interstate speeds, and the 6-speeds allow relatively low engine speeds for most highways so there's no mechanical noise.
Economy cars aren't designed for top handling marks but frequently make plausibly entertaining drives because they weigh less. With just 2500 pounds to control, the Rio has low mass on its side; it changes direction with minimal effort and no drama. The electric-assist steering is vague on center (many are) but does offer up some feel at speed.
The Rio SX, top of the line in luxury and sportiness, adds bigger front brakes, slightly firmer suspension settings and 17-inch wheels for a minor improvement in responsiveness at a minor cost in ride quality. We imagine the majority of SX buyers go there for the features but some will find the ride/handling balance skewed more to their liking and pay the features-heavy price premium to get it.
The Kia Rio is a good choice among subcompacts because it does everything well. It gets excellent fuel economy, it's enjoyable to drive, it's roomy and comfortable. We especially like the Rio 5 hatchback for its convenience.

Billionaire investor Steve Cohen (the subject of a sweeping article in Vanity Fair's June issue) received some more unneeded attention this March. Grappling with the implications of the government's seven-year investigation into insider trading, Cohen no sooner had offered the Securities and Exchange Commission $616 million (a record in the securities industry) to settle only two charges before news broke that he had paid $155 million (a record for a U.S. collector) for a Picasso. This type of foot-in-mouth spending, however, is not unique to Cohen; when it comes to buyer's remorse, few know it better than the rich and feckless. Herewith, a history of unwise purchases made by the desperately rich.

Hi, my name is Sheri and I am 38 years old. My road to a healthier lifestyle really started for me when I was diagnosed with Melanoma in 2002. It was a year before I was to be married and I had just turned 30! It was a total shock to me and well frankly it scared the bejeezus out of me!
Looking for a design to go on the back of a t-shirt that fits with my blog theme: phablifestyle.com
Should have the URL to the site somewhere in the design.

With the other New York team, drafting a quarterback is a sign of another year of turbulence.
With the Giants, it's just another day at the office.
Of course, Giants quarterback Eli Manning's in no danger of being replaced by fourth-rounder Ryan Nassib, either.
"I think that's pretty normal," Manning said, via Jenny Vrentas of the Newark Star-Ledger. "I think it's always good to have a good quarterback to come in and learn and be prepared. You never know what happens in this league, and you always have to have quality players on your team and quarterbacks, and so I think it's a good thing. Looking forward to working with a young guy."
Of course, the hope is that Nassib doesn't have to take a snap. Manning's 135 consecutive starts is the longest streak in the league, and there's no hurry to end it for the 32-year-old Manning. At the same time, he knows his time isn't limitless.
"I feel like I'm playing at a high level, and this is the prime of my career, and I appreciate my job every day," Manning said. "I'm fortunate that I get to play quarterback in the NFL, and I love all the aspects of the work that goes into it, and I'm still hungry to improve my game and to get better and to win more championships for New York. And so I understand that one day it will end.
"The thing about in this league, you never know when that day comes, and you never know what's going to happen. So you've got to take advantage of it, and work hard, and try to ensure that every year that you play that you're going to do everything you can to try to win a championship."
If Nassib puts pressure on anyone in the near future, it would be backup David Carr, but the Syracuse rookie found a good place to ease into the league after a draft-day fall few expected. And he also fell in with a mature starter who will allow him time to grow, something the other guy in town probably won't get.

Opinion: President Trump made the right decision to cancel event with Philadelphia Eagles
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - This week at the White House, the president chose to celebrate America instead of the Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles were supposed to be there but reportedly tried to change the date of their visit at the last minute. According to reports, they wanted to come next week while the president will be in Singapore pressuring North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un to denuclearize. Their other idea was reported to be for the Eagles to send a handful of players and team officials along with the mascot, "Swoop," to the White House.
I see these moves as ways to try to embarrass the president and make a mockery out of a traditional visit to the White House. Many of the Eagles' players have been outspoken critics of the president's stance that players should stand for our national anthem.
Players absolutely have the right to skip these ceremonies. However, they are missing an opportunity to express their views to the president directly and bring civil discourse and solutions to the table.
Here's the bottom line: the president took a much-needed stand on behalf of the men and women who have served and sacrificed for our right to fly the American flag and recite our national anthem. The National Football League continues to draw attention to the embarrassing sideshow that is the player kneeling controversy. At the end of the day, this pattern hurts the NFL product and its fans and it benefits President Trump with the overwhelmingly patriotic majority of our country.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Boris Epshteyn formerly served as a Senior Advisor to the Trump Campaign and served in the White House as Special Assistant to The President and Assistant Communications Director for Surrogate Operations.

(Reuters) - The fight over defunct Nortel Networks' $7.5 billion in cash will be decided in joint U.S.-Canadian court hearings and not in arbitration, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Friday.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia upheld a bankruptcy court ruling in March that there was never an agreement to use arbitration to divide the pile of cash among various Nortel estates around the world.
Nortel sought protection from creditors in courts around the world in 2009 and its businesses were quickly sold, reducing a once-global corporate giant to little more than a pile of cash. But it was never decided how to allocate the money raised between different insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings in different countries.
An agreement governing the money refers to undefined "dispute resolvers" that Nortel's European estates argued was arbitration. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware disagreed, and the Court of Appeals affirmed that ruling.
"In context, the words 'dispute resolver(s)' indicate that the parties allowed themselves latitude to select courts or arbitrators or others to adjudicate the parties' disputes," wrote Judge Julio Fuentes in a 17-page opinion. "To respect that contractual latitude, we reject the idea that the parties must arbitrate disputes over asset allocation."
He was joined by Judges Maryanne Trump Barry and Morton Greenberg.
Derek Adler, an attorney with Hughes Hubbard & Reed in New York, who represents Nortel's European estates, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Creditors of Nortel, once a telecoms giant with a $250 billion market value and 93,000 employees, cannot be paid until the estates in Canada, the United States and Europe know how much money they will have to distribute.
Kevin Gross, a bankruptcy judge in Wilmington, and Ontario Superior Court Justice Geoffrey Morawetz in Toronto have scheduled a joint trial for next year to decide the dispute. The two have been holding joint hearings linked by video since Nortel sought creditor protection four years ago.
An administrator for the European estates has said the unusual trial arrangement would lead to "chaos" in part because there is no appeals court that binds both courts.
The European estates also wanted the appeals court to weigh in on whether the joint trial was appropriate, but Fuentes said that challenge should be taken after the trial.
The case is In re Nortel Networks Inc, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, No. 13-2739. The bankruptcy case is In re Nortel Networks Inc, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, No. 09-10138.

PHILADELPHIA Irate beer lovers across the country have filed $5 million class-action lawsuits accusing Anheuser-Busch of watering down its Budweiser, Michelob and other brands.
The lawsuits were filed in Pennsylvania, California and other states on behalf of consumers allegedly cheated out of the beverages stated alcohol content. Budweiser and Michelob each boast being 5 percent alcohol, while some light versions are said to be just more than 4 percent.
Lead lawyer Josh Boxer of San Rafael, Calif., said Tuesday the lawsuits are based on information from former employees at some of the companys 13 U.S. breweries. Boxer said water is added just before bottling, and cuts the stated alcohol content by 3 to 8 percent.
The multinational Anheuser-Busch InBev denied any culpability, calling the claims groundless, and saying its beers fully comply with labeling laws.

Bore and stroke are to be increased to 83mm x 89mm for 2.0 liter capacity from the current 82mm x 85mm. Displacement alone is not going to help Mercedes reach their target so a larger turbo is no doubt in the cards. We would expect the heads, valvetrain, manifold, basically everything to get revised.
The other interesting tidbit is that it appears all wheel drive will be standard on these AMG models. These are almost going to be seen as a luxury WRX or EVO and no doubt will become some of the most popular Mercedes models to tune due to their entry level price point. Bring it on Mercedes!

BCG's exclusive market analysis scans for risks and opportunities for oil and gas suppliers.
In the wake of volatile oil and gas prices, many suppliers are facing financial stress or even extinction. Highly leveraged producers—particularly US independents, small-capitalization businesses, and private-equity-backed new entrants with heavy debt financing—are expected to suffer liquidity and financing crises.
The challenging market also offers opportunities for nimble suppliers that can respond quickly and effectively to rapidly changing conditions. BCG's proprietary Supplier Distress Analysis can help companies see what's working—and what's not. BCG maintains a watch list of 100 top companies—including equipment manufacturers, onshore and offshore drillers, shipyards, seismic services, and engineering, procurement, and construction firms—and tracks their performance each quarter.
Among the key performance indicators tracked quarterly by BCG's Supplier Distress Analysis are:
As a defensive measure, producers should monitor the health and risk of failure of key suppliers—and determine the potential impact of supplier distress on the company's ongoing projects with regard to quality, safety, and asset availability. This is particularly vital for relationships with suppliers that provide large, hard-to-replace assets, such as installation vessels, without which major projects can suffer critical bottlenecks.
