2008 Mazda Mazda6 ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Zoom-zoom in the family sedan.
The Mazda 6 (or Mazda6, as the manufacturer prefers) is the mid-size sedan for the driving enthusiast. The Mazda6 looks leaner than its competitors, and the driving experience confirms the impression, with agile handling and responsive engines. The Mazda6 feels tighter in corners and holds the road better than the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord or Nissan Altima. It's lighter on its feet and stops quicker. In short, it's more of a driver's car. Four-cylinder and V6 engines are available, and each is offered with a five-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
The Mazda6 comes in a sporty 5-Door hatchback style, in addition to the more traditional four-door sedan. The 5-Door excels at carrying cargo, yet it doesn't look like a hatchback; in fact, it takes a sharp eye to distinguish it from the sedan.
The Mazda6 was introduced for the 2003 model year, and Mazda says it has won more than 70 awards for automotive excellence since then.
The 2006 model year brought mild styling revisions and significant product improvements, inside and out. For 2007, Mazda made anti-lock brakes (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), traction control, and side-impact and side-curtain air bags standard across the Mazda6 lineup. Now 2008 brings a new standard tire pressure monitor, a Bose stereo on Touring models, 17-inch alloy wheels on even base models, and a security alarm system for the Sport VE.
An all-new Mazda6 will be launched for the 2009 model year and will go on sale summer 2008, so look for deals on the 2008 models covered here.
All 2008 Mazdas come with a roadside assistance program, toll-free, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year throughout the United States and Canada. A comprehensive three-year/36,000-mile warranty covers all but routine-wear items. Additionally, 2008 models receive a five-year/60,000 mile powertrain warranty and a five-year/unlimited-mileage corrosion warranty.
The 2008 Mazda6 comes in four-door sedan and five-door hatchback body styles. (The wagon has been discontinued for 2008. So has the high-performance, all-wheel-drive Mazdaspeed6.)
Two engines are available: Mazda 6i models come with a 156-horsepower 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine; 6s models are powered by a 212-horsepower 3.0-liter V6. With either engine buyers can choose Sport VE (for Value Edition), Touring, or Grand Touring trim. All are well equipped.
Additionally, there's the base-level 6i Sport, offered only as a sedan ($18,990), but still equipped with air conditioning; cruise control; six-speaker AM/FM/CD audio; tilt and telescope steering wheel; power windows, mirrors and door locks with remote keyless entry; a 12-volt power outlet; automatic headlight shut off; variable intermittent windshield wipers; rear window defogger; and 215/50 all-season radials on 17-inch alloy wheels. A five-speed manual transmission is standard; a five-speed automatic ($900) is optional.
The 6i Sport VE sedan ($19,750) and hatchback ($20,750) add a body-color grille; side sill extensions; eight-way power driver's seat; in-dash 6-disc CD/MP3 changer; and leather-wrapped steering wheel, shift knob and parking brake handle. New for 2008 is a standard security system. Again, automatic is optional.
Touring and Grand Touring models are now offered only with automatic transmission. Additionally, 6i Touring sedan ($22,240) and hatchback ($23,240) upgrade to leather upholstery; heated front seats and outside mirrors; and a 200-watt, seven-speaker Bose audio.
The 6i Grand Touring sedan ($24,090) and hatchback ($24,840) add HID headlights, fog lights, electroluminescent gauges, automatic climate control, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, Homelink garage door opener, and a power glass sunroof with sunshade.
The V6-powered lineup begins with the 6s Sport VE sedan ($22,210) and hatchback ($23,210). Except for the engine, and two 12-volt power outlets instead of one, equipment is identical to the four-cylinder Sport VE's. Again, a five-speed manual is standard, but the optional automatic is a six-speed ($950). Touring and Grand Touring versions add the same equipment listed above for about the same differential in price, except that 6s Grand Touring models ride on 215/45 all-season radials on 18-inch alloy wheels. Prices top out with the 6s Grand Touring hatchback ($27,750).
A six-disc CD/MP3 changer is optional ($500) on the base 6i Sport sedan. Optional on VE and Touring is the sunroof ($700). Grand Touring buyers can add navigation ($2,000). Sirius Satellite Radio ($430) and a cassette player ($200) are optional on all models. A remote engine starter ($350) is available only with automatic transmission. About a dozen accessories are also available, including several cargo-organizing options ($40-50), wheel locks ($50), and an auto-dimming mirror/compass with ($275) or without ($200) Homelink.
Safety features that come standard on all models include ABS, EBD, traction control, and a full complement of air bags: advanced dual-stage front, side-impact, and side-curtain. New for 2008 is a tire-pressure monitor.
The Mazda6 is among the sportiest of the midsize sedans. Visually, it has more personality than the Accord and other family cars. It has a strong front-end treatment that's consistent with other Mazdas. Cat's-eye headlamps and big, multi-element tail lamps enhance the action at each corner of the car.
The Mazda6 benefits from a kind of muscular conservatism inside and out. Everything in, on and under this car makes sense, and it all looks good doing it. The relationship of the lower body to the upper body looks perfect, yet the roof shape is designed for people, not for style. Its sporty profile makes the Mazda6 look smaller than it is.
Mazda last freshened its look for 2006, with new headlamps, revised tail lamps, new front and rear bumper fascia, and new side sills that added more edge to the styling. Headlight housings are clear or smoked-black, depending on model and body style.
The shape of the Mazda6 is truly fetching when painted a hot color. The basic Sport sedan is handsome, and its dual oval exhaust outlets are a nice, sporty touch. The outside door handles are well designed and easy to grab. Sport VE and higher models are accented by a body-color front grille, front and rear air dams, side sill extensions and, on Grand Touring models, clear-lens fog lamps.
The hatchback features an extended rear roof pillar that slopes back into a raised deck lid. As Mazda says, it looks fast even when standing still; and yet casual observers may not notice the difference between the 5-Door and the sedan. Overall length and height dimensions are identical for the two bodies, although the hatchback weighs about 100 pounds more.
Of the two body styles, the sedan offers the stiffer structure. A stiff chassis is a key element to achieving sharp handling and a smooth ride.
The front seats of the Mazda6 are comfortable through a wide range of adjustments. We found them suitable for hard driving, with good upper body support and enough lower back support with the optional lumbar adjuster for all-day comfort. Touring and Grand Touring models add cowhide to all the right places, with thankful perforations on the seating surfaces.
The interior is designed to be comfortable for front and rear passengers in the 95th percentile of all body shapes. The rear seats are quite accommodating, whether in the sedan or hatchback. There's more than 96 cubic feet of passenger space inside the Mazda6 sedan, according to the EPA measuring system, and only a fraction less in the hatchback; and that translates to plenty of room for four. You can squeeze in five in a pinch.
The interior design is complemented by carbon fiber, titanium and body-color finishes. Grand Touring models feature electroluminescent gauges that are illuminated in red light, but are conventional white-on-black during the day, with nice, large and pleasing graphics. Switchgear is labeled well, legible during the day and illuminated in red at night. The heating/air conditioning system is easily controlled by three big knobs. The Bose radio does not look upscale, however, with shiny black buttons that are flush-mounted and similar in appearance. The seat heater switches are tucked away on the center console. Lots of open and covered storage is available, and the seat pockets and door pockets are huge. Cup holders are provided in the front and rear center consoles as well as in the door pockets.
The trunk of the sedan measures 15.2 cubic feet, and the compact, lateral-link rear suspension allows for a perfectly flat trunk floor. The trunk lid is designed with hinges that do not impinge on the storage space. The standard 60/40 split rear seat folds to expand luggage space. The release levers are in the trunk for security and the seat backs are spring-loaded so they fold instantly with just one pull of the release.
The 5-Door hatchback's rear liftgate opens to reveal a covered cargo compartment with 22.1 cubic feet of space, nearly 50 percent more than that of the sedan. Cargo space more than doubles to 58.7 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded, which is a hair more (yes, more) than in Mazda's CX-7 SUV/crossover. The 60/40 split seats fold with the touch of a button, and no need to remove the head rests, revealing a nearly flat cargo floor. Cargo tie-downs and two hidden compartments in the side panels add versatility.
Driving Impression
When it comes to sporty handling, the 2008 Mazda6 is among the best in the class. It offers better road holding than the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and Nissan Altima, as well as better transient response in quick lane-change maneuvers. The Mazda6 just feels sharper and more agile than those other cars.
Zoom-zoom is in plentiful supply regardless of which model you choose. The four-cylinder Mazda6i is a hoot to drive. Order it with the five-speed manual and the fun zone starts at about 4000 rpm, where the engine is very responsive. The 2.3-liter, double-overhead-cam engine loves to rev and acceleration is on par with that of other four-cylinder mid-size sedans. The Honda Accord may be a little quicker, but the Mazda feels younger and sportier. Below 3000 rpm, however, the four-cylinder lacks strong throttle response. We like it with the manual gearbox, but we have not tried it with the five-speed automatic. The manual shifter felt mushy to us at first, but that initial impression quickly faded and we found it fun to shift.
Four-cylinders with the manual transmission are the most economical Mazda6 models, being EPA-rated at 21/29 mpg city/highway. Automatics surrender just one highway mpg and are classified as Partial Zero Emissions Vehicles, or PZEVs, in the eight states that require California emissions standards; in other states they are merely Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicles (SULEV).
The 3.0-liter V6 in the Mazda6s greatly increases the fun. It benefits from continuously variable valve timing (VVT) for its intake camshaft, providing strong torque at low rpm, a willingness to rev, good gas mileage, and nice sounds from the air intake and dual exhausts. The Mazda V6 doesn't feel like it has as much low-rpm torque as the Toyota and Honda V6s, but it loves to rev and it's a lot of fun to drive.
Both engines are made of aluminum to keep the Mazda6 from getting too heavy, which it isn't, at 3378 pounds for the V6 automatic sedan.
The six-speed automatic is really smooth, yet shifting is crisp. All those gears provide improved gear spacing for the V6, keeping it in its power band under all circumstances. Having six forward gears allowed Mazda engineers to select low ratios for first and second to maximize off-the-line acceleration, tall top gears for effortless cruising, and mid-range gears optimized for snappy acceleration from highway speeds. The Sport Shift mode allows the driver to shift manually by pulling back to upshift, pushing forward to downshift.
Handling is excellent. The Mazda6 doesn't lean much in corners, body roll being nicely controlled by the front and rear anti-roll bars. The Mazda6 comes standard with a sports suspension with double wishbones up front, a lateral-link layout in the rear, and coil springs all around. Tires on even the base models are now generously sized at 215/50VR17, with lower-profile 215/45WR18s on V6 Grand Touring models.
Grip is tenacious, right up to the point where the front end pushes, telling you to lighten up; and this understeer doesn't occur until you've reached competition-level speeds. Other mid-size sedans lose grip far sooner than the Mazda6. The amount of power-steering assist backs off the faster you go, to give good road feel, although it's still on the light side at high speeds.
The Mazda6 doesn't feel as refined as the Honda Accord does. Ride quality is generally good, bit it can get a little jouncy on certain types of pavement and some road vibration comes through. Road noise is relatively pronounced on broken pavement, especially with the Sport trim. Wind noise comes through as well; we noticed this was particularly true with all but the base model and suspect the aerodynamic enhancements that come with the Sport VE and above may be the cause. But none of this is as uncomfortable as it sounds when described in print, and the upside is that the driver is closely attuned to the driving conditions.
The brakes are.
The Mazda6 is the sports sedan of the mainstream midsize cars. It boasts style, agility and performance. In short, it's more fun to drive than other cars in this class. It's a great choice for someone who wants a more exciting car. The sedan offers the best handling; but the 5-Door hatchback gives up very little relative to its increased versatility.
NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Jim McCraw reported from Detroit, with Mitch McCullough reporting from Laguna Beach, California.

Mazda 6s Sport VE sedan automatic ($23,160).The Mazda6 is the sports sedan of front-drive midsize cars. It is designed for the driving enthusiast. While it may not match the power of sports sedans in other more lofty price brackets, the Mazda6 offers a big punch for a lower sticker price.

The former generates 156 horsepower while the V-6 gets 212 horsepower, each engine teams to a five-speed manual transmission; or a five-speed automatic for the four-cylinder and a six-speed automatic for the V-6. Antilock brakes, side-impact airbags and side-curtain airbags are standard.

NHL Game Night: 10/22/10 Lightning at Thrashers
Seven straight wins over Atlanta.
Mike Smith allowed 2 goals on 30 shots for the win. That might have been the best Smitty has played since his concussion problems knocked him off track. That was encouraging. He moved well and he played an efficient style.
First Period
03:10 TB Clark (2), St Louis (5), Stamkos (6)(PP)
16:05 TB Lecavalier (2), Bergenheim (2) 17:50
TB Stamkos (6), Lecavalier (2), St Louis (6)(PP)
Second Period
08:07 ATL Slater (1), Ladd (5), Byfuglien (4)
17:22 TB Stamkos (7), (unassisted)
Third Period
13:36 ATL Byfuglien (2), (unassisted)(PP)
19:28 TB Stamkos (8), V. Hedman (5)(EN)
Steven Stamkos and Vincent Lecavalier were the game's first and second stars.
I thought the Lightning's effort level was outstanding, but I wouldn't say they were super-crisp. There's still another gear the Lightning haven't quite found yet in the early season, which should be a bit terrifying for the rest of the league. Their breakout and passing still needs a little work. There's too many soft passes, and still a lot of feeling out of new teammates. Once that part starts to click, the Lightning are going to be a mother to play against.
Dana Tyrell had 2 penalty minutes and 2 shots in 11:09. He looks like he's getting a little more comfortable each game, and he even got a couple of PK shifts tonight. I also like that he's getting shots on goal. That first NHL goal will follow pretty soon.

ASUS EAH5750 Formula Review
Have you been looking for a new video card for your system? If you are not demanding the most bleeding edge technology that is going to cost you an arm and a leg, but is still going to be able to deliver you some pretty amazing looking graphics in your favorite games, you may want to check out the new ASUS EAH5750. The EAH5750 is going to utilize the new core from ATI, but put it in on a card that is not going to break the bank. Is the EAH5750 going to be able to give enough of a performance boost to justify replacing your aging HD3850 or HD4870? We will find out the answer to that by the time we finish looking at the card, so let's get started!
Closer Look:
The packaging for the ASUS EAH5750 Forumula is very busy. The front of the box is where you are going to find a picture of a race car that has been edited to have graphics showing it driving extremely fast. Right next to the image of the car driving, you'll see "13% Cooler" printed in a blue and white text, letting you know that ASUS has used its own custom cooler on the card to help battle the biggest battle any overclocker faces, high temperatures. The top left hand corner is where you are going to find the ASUS logo with the slogan "Inspiring Innovation * Persistent Perfection" printed below it. The EAH5750 Formula logo printed at the bottom of the front is where you are going to see all the badges that the card holds, such as the 1GB of GDDR5 memory, HDMI support, DirectX 11 support, and ASUS Xtreme Design. The back of the package is where you will find a list of the "Powerful Features" the card possesses, as well as what ASUS Exclusive Innovation products are included with the card and details explaining them. When you open up the front of the package, you are going to get a peak at the card, which has the cooler in the shape of a race car, and a few pointers about the performance, safety, and reliability of the card.
Pulling the card out of the packaging, you'll see that ASUS has protected the EAH5750 by placing it inside a black Styrofoam enclosure inside a cardboard box. ASUS has included one crossfire bridge, a HDMI to DVI dongle, and a 4-pin Molex to a 6-pin PCI-E power adapter. Under the Styrofoam enclosure, ASUS has stashed the VGA drivers CD, the Multi-language Manual, and the SpeedSetup booklet.
Now that we know how the ASUS EAH5750 comes packaged and what kind of goodies come with along with it, it's time to take a good look at the card itself.

Description: Sashimi Hocho are used for slicing the raw fish (Sashimi) traditionally served by the Japanese. Also suitable for fine slicing of other meats. Both the handle and the blade are created specifically for right-handed use. The knife is accompanied by a saya made specifically to the blade for a perfect fit. This ho wood sheath protects the blade for chefs on the go or while in the drawer.
Traditional Japanese chef's knives differ from European styled knives in that they are sharpened with a bevel on only one side. The opposite side is slightly hollowed. Consequently, these knives can be honed to a sharper edge than can double bevel knives.
The professional level blade is forged using the Hon Kasumi technique -- a forging process which creates the misty appearance at the lamination line between the two kinds of metal. These blades are hand forged from a combination of hard Aogami Hagane 'blue steel' forge-welded to a piece of Jigane mild steel. The most exacting standards as well as considerable time are required for this type of forge work. After forging, each blade is individually tempered to Rockwell 61-63 (very hard!) leaving a razor edge that is very easy to keep sharp.

According to a news item on GameSpot however, fans of the Aliens franchise can relax. Gearbox's CEO Randy Pitchford confirmed that Aliens: Colonial Marines is alive and well, and that the reason the project has not received much attention recently is that because the developer is hard at work on Borderlands. This gels with our news from April that Gearbox was still hiring for the game.
Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford also confirmed that the game, previously announced for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, remains at his studio.Also, it appears as though a Nintendo DS title sporting the Aliens: Colonial Marines label is in the works too.
"We know people care about the project and want to know more," Pitchford told GameSpot. "This is very exciting for us because we care tremendously about the project ourselves. However, since the project was originally announced, we haven't announced any status changes and we decided a while ago to try to ignore the rumors and speculation that we've seen come out about it. We prefer instead to focus on our objectives and our craft of game-making."
Take a deep breath... of alien egg-tube.

Latino representation in Texas at issue with pending ruling
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Yesterday, in Washington DC, MALDEF filed a Motion to Intervene on behalf of the Texas Latino Redistricting Task Force in an effort to prevent the reduction of Latino voting strength in the ongoing Texas redistricting process.
In the case, State of Texas v. Holder, Texas asks the federal government to approve, or "pre-clear," four redistricting plans. Under Section Five of the Voting Rights Act, states with a history of discrimination must have their redistricting plans approved by the federal government to ensure that the ability of minorities to elect a candidate of their choice is not diminished.
The Texas Latino Redistricting Task Force has intervened to ask the federal court to deny preclearance of the state House plan and the congressional plan. Under the state House plan, Latinos would lose two opportunity districts, and under the congressional plan, the proportion of Latino opportunity districts would fall from 22 percent to 19 percent of the congressional delegation. According to the 2010 census, 34 percent of the voting-age population in Texas is Latino.
"The Task Force has intervened in this case to protect Latino voting strength in Texas," said Nina Perales, vice president of litigation at MALDEF. "We have sued the State in federal court in San Antonio for violations of the Voting Rights Act; the State cannot run to Washington DC in the hopes of getting a different ruling."
MALDEF, the Texas Latino Redistricting Task Force, and other partners submitted proposed district lines for Latino opportunity districts to the State Capitol in Austin during the Legislative Session.
"Our goal is to ensure that Latinos have the opportunity to send a representative of their choice to Congress, especially where they make up a substantial portion of a region," explained Perales. In 2006, MALDEF successfully argued before the Supreme Court in LULAC v. Perry that the Texas congressional redistricting plan diluted Latino voting strength and violated the Voting Rights Act.
Pro bono counsel in the case includes the law firm of Fried Frank. A decision on the Motion to Intervene is expected shortly.
Founded in 1968, MALDEF is the nation's leading Latino legal civil rights organization. Often described as the "law firm of the Latino community," MALDEF promotes social change through advocacy, communications, community education and litigation in the areas of education, employment, immigrant rights and political access.

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today issued an enforcement guidance modifying its position on remedies available to unauthorized workers under federal employment discrimination laws. The guidance addresses recent legal developments and explains the basic remedies available to this class of workers under EEOC- enforced laws.
"This guidance makes clear that the anti-discrimination laws under the Commission's jurisdiction protect all employees across the country, regardless of their work status," said EEOC Chairwoman Ida L. Castro. "Unauthorized workers are especially vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. It is imperative for employers to fully understand that discrimination against this class of employees will not be tolerated and that they will be responsible for appropriate remedies if they violate the civil rights laws."
Chairwoman Castro further explained that the new guidance is fully consistent with the nation's immigration laws, principally the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA). "If employers were not held responsible for discrimination against unauthorized workers, it would create an incentive for unscrupulous employers to engage in unlawful workplace conduct," said Ms. Castro. "This would directly undermine the enforcement of the immigration laws by encouraging the employment of unauthorized workers. It would also harm authorized workers who might be denied jobs or be subjected to a work environment which tolerated discrimination."
The new guidance addresses the availability of remedies under the following statutes, where an employer has unlawfully discriminated against undocumented workers: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Equal Pay Act.
The guidance explains that undocumented workers are entitled to the same remedies as any other workers back pay, reinstatement if the employee was unlawfully terminated, hiring if the employee was denied a job due to discrimination, other appropriate injunctive relief, damages and attorneys' fees except in the very narrow situations where an award would directly conflict with the immigration laws. The guidance also emphasizes that unauthorized workers are fully protected by the retaliation principles of the federal anti-discrimination laws.
The new guidance replaces EEOC's Policy Guidance: Effect of the Immigration Reform and Control Act on the Remedies Available to Undocumented Aliens Under Title VII (N-915.040) issued on April 26, 1989. The Commission re-evaluated its position on back pay in light of important legal developments since 1989 regarding the availability of back pay to undocumented workers under the closely related National Labor Relations Act. In addition, the Commission addressed other changes in the law since 1989, principally the creation of a damages remedy under Title VII and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The guidance will be available on EEOC's web site (www.eeoc.gov) shortly after release of the document. It can also be obtained by calling or writing to EEOC's Office of Communications and Legislative Affairs, 1801 L Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20507.
The EEOC enforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, which protects workers 40 and older; the Equal Pay Act; the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in the private sector and state and local governments; prohibitions against discrimination affecting persons with disabilities in the federal government; and sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1991.

A friend turned me on to mine. and told me I must check it out. The store oozes character and the story behind the creation of mine. and the name itself is one we all can relate to. The owner, Lori Fradella, worked for a few other furniture stores and recently shared a store with a partner. This time around she wants to show the world that she can do it on her own, hence the name mine.
We can't help but root for Lori and her brand new store, which opened only a few months ago. We are craving vintage furnishings lately and mine. fits the bill — she has an eye for fantastic vintage pieces. We love the interesting combination of furniture vignettes, such as the harp case paired with the chair on a hook.

Dennis Hopper's divorce case is set to go before a key audience — a judge.
A hearing Monday in Los Angeles could determine how much spousal and child support Hopper's wife Victoria Duffy Hopper will receive while the case is ongoing.
Hopper's attorney says Hopper is terminally ill and unable to undergo chemotherapy as he battles prostate cancer.
Hopper and his wife of 14 years have been locked in the bitter feud since the "Easy Rider" star filed for divorce in January. He is seeking a quick end to the marriage. His wife contends it's an effort to cut her out of the actor's estate.
She says she is running out of money and has nowhere to move with their 7-year-old daughter.
Hopper's attorney argues the couple had a prenuptual agreement to avoid a costly breakup.

What do firefighters, police officers, doctors, nurses, paramedics, factory workers, and office cleaning staff have in common? They all are at risk for shift work sleep disorder. If you work at night or often rotate shifts, you may share that risk. Working at night or irregular shifts can keep you from getting the regular snooze time that most daytime workers take for granted.
Working non-traditional hours is more common than you might think. In industrialized nations, up to 20% of workers work either night or rotating shifts, according to an editorial published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Although not everyone who works odd hours has shift work sleep disorder, a lot can be at stake. People with shift work disorder have higher rates of absenteeism and accidents related to sleepiness than night workers without the disorder.
Memory and ability to focus can become impaired, and shift workers who are sleep-deprived often get irritable or depressed, says Wesley Elon Fleming, MD, clinical assistant professor at Loma Linda University and director of the Sleep Center Orange County in Southern California. Their relationships and social life can suffer, too.
Shift workers also face potential health problems, researchers have found. Overall, those who work night or rotating shifts seem to have a higher risk of ulcers, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and heart disease.
Working Shifts: 9 Tips for Better Sleep
If your job requires that you work the night shift or hours other than the traditional 9 to 5, you need to pay close attention to your sleep. These tips can help you get good sleep:
- Try not to work a number of night shifts in a row. You may become increasingly more sleep-deprived over several nights on the job. You're more likely to recover if you can limit night shifts and schedule days off in between.
- Avoid frequently rotating shifts. If you can't, it's easier to adjust to a schedule that rotates from day shift to evening or night shift rather than the reverse order.
- Try to avoid long commutes that take time away from sleeping.
- Keep your workplace brightly lighted to promote alertness. If you're working the night shift, expose yourself to bright light, such as that from special light boxes, lamps, and visors designed for people with circadian-related sleep problems, when you wake up. Circadian rhythms are the body's internal clock that tells us when to be awake and when to sleep. These rhythms are controlled by a part of the brain that is influenced by light. Fleming says that being exposed to bright light when you start your "day" can help train your body's internal clock to adjust.
- Limit caffeine. Drinking a cup of coffee at the beginning of your shift will help promote alertness. But don't consume caffeine later in the shift or you may have trouble falling asleep when you get home.
- Avoid bright light on the way home from work, which will make it easier for you to fall asleep once you hit the pillow. Wear dark, wraparound sunglasses and a hat to shield yourself from sunlight. Don't stop to run errands, tempting as that may be.
- Stick to a regular sleep-wake schedule as much as you can.
- Ask your family to limit phone calls and visitors during your sleep hours.
- Use blackout blinds or heavy curtains to block sunlight when you sleep during the day. "Sunlight is a potent stimulator of the circadian rhythm," Fleming says. "Even if your eyes are closed, the sunlight coming into the room tells your brain that it's daytime. Yet your body is exhausted and you're trying to sleep. That discrepancy … is not a healthy thing for the body to be exposed to."
Sleep and the Night Shift
Could you have shift work sleep disorder?
Why do night shifts wreak havoc on sleep? "The circadian rhythm is so [ingrained] in each one of us that what we're doing is going against the body's natural desire to be asleep at nighttime and to be awake during the daytime," says Fleming. "Some people have ways of coping that are better than others, but for the most part, it's very difficult to feel your optimal self when you work the night shift."
Rotating shifts are even harder on the body, Fleming adds. "The body likes to operate on a routine schedule. The body likes to know what to expect in terms of production of certain hormones," he says. "When you expose yourself to sunlight at some times during the week, but not others — when you're sleeping at nighttime some nights and then during daytime at others — the body has difficulty knowing what to anticipate and when to produce those transmitters and neurochemicals for sleep and digestion and proper functioning of the human body."
Regular, restful sleep is crucial for the body's repair, Fleming says. "The body's ability to recover and recuperate from the damage done during the daytime on a cellular level is affected by the night shift –because that's the purpose of sleep. If our sleep schedule is erratic or irregular, that synchrony of repair that's supposed to happen at nighttime doesn't get played out the way it's supposed to."
Treating Shift Work Sleep Disorder
Despite the prevalence of irregular work hours in our 'round-the-clock, technological society, sleep experts say that people usually don't show up at sleep labs with complaints about topsy-turvy schedules. "Most patients feel that there's nothing they can do about it," Fleming says. "It's not a very common source of referrals to a sleep center, even though it should be."
The hallmarks of shift work sleep disorder are excessive sleepiness during night work and insomnia when a worker tries to sleep during the daytime. Workers with significant symptoms — including headaches, lack of energy and trouble concentrating — should talk to their doctors.
To treat shift work disorder, doctors usually start with improving sleep hygiene with the nine tips covered at the beginning of this article. Using blackout curtains and keeping a regular sleep-wake schedule can help your body adjust to sleeping during the day.
If those behavioral changes don't help, doctors can prescribe medications to help people stay alert when they need to be awake and help shift workers fall asleep.
Stimulant medications such as Nuvigil and Provigil can relieve sleepiness when people need to be awake. These drugs are approved for the treatment of excessive sleepiness related to shift work disorder, among other conditions.
Sleep aids such as Ambien, Lunesta, and Sonata may be prescribed to help with falling asleep. Certain antidepressants and benzodiazepines may also be used to help with sleep.

I like the idea of this, but if it really is aimed at the elderly shouldn't the price be a bit lower? 100 quid seems a little steep to me.
Doro is a Swedish company which launched its first range of back-to-basics mobile phones in 2007, aimed at the elderly and people with limited dexterity. Using a Doro phone is like taking a step back in time. A time before smart phones, mobile internet or even camphones – this is an extremely basic handset. Doro PhoneEasy …
I like the idea of this, but if it really is aimed at the elderly shouldn't the price be a bit lower? 100 quid seems a little steep to me.
Cheap as chips, and a paragon or simplicity and clarity. Save your granny £90.
"I've fallen and I can't get up !"
My Granddad (87) has been using an old Ericsson R380 that I bought for him years ago. It's orange with big black buttons (so easy to see) and a nice large screen. It also came with a cradle, so he doesn't have to fiddle about with chargers. The battery doesn't last now, though, so we've been looking for a decent alternative.
The black one looks rubbish (you can't see the individual black keys against the black background) but the white one looks just the job.
I'm confused, if the phone can't send SMS messages (top of page 3), then how does the emergency SMS message feature work?
As a teacher, I am extremely wary of phones with cameras (and I know of several places where they are simply banned). This would be an ideal solution to that problem.
Cool! I want one. The buttons are big enough for my big fingers and I'm not going to get mugged for it. Actually, I don't want to use a crappy phone to listen to music. Or take photographs using a crappy plastic fixed-focus lens to create an image the size of a postage stamp - I use a camera to do that.
Pity about the price, if they could drop that an add the ability to send the odd text message, I'd buy one tomorrow.
...for the elderly to dial the emergency services on 0118 999 881 999 119 725... 3
1950's feature set, and a handy panic button for the next time you see a hoodie or immigrunt.
...an even bigger screen would be needed for most olde folk, making the buttons all jumbo sized wont help if they cant read the addressbook.
Plus I can think of one or two olde people that might make use of it right up to the point they really need it, that is when it's been left off the mains supply for a good 6 months and the battery is totally flat, and as a result damaged due to excessive discharge. Tell me this device is non-self-discharging-when-switched-off too.
Even if it has a charging docking cradle, its pretty normal fare for an old person to forget to put it back on charge. Or they'll remember for a while, THEN forget.
Until the manufacturers can release a phone with ZERO maintenance, including mitigating the need to recharge every 4 days, and not ever having to input numbers into the addressbook, then all this is useless - And YES, this is impossible.
As for the lack of SMS sending, well thats just ignorant to those olde folks who DO know how to do it, or are not too infirm to do it. A pointless limitation.
Its not like there aren't normal phones around now with big buttons, and vibrant large screens which would suit them down to the ground, as for complexity, well just dont tell them how to get to those features!
Picture the scene - an old lady has fallen in town, and asks a kind stranger who came along to assist, to contact her relations for help. That younger person CAN use the features needed to get a quick SMS out.
I wonder how feature-ful old persons mobile phones will be when us techy types grow old? I dread to think what with this expensive featureless piece-o-crap coming out of industry.
I agree on your comment about the battery being flat when probably needed - thoguh having said that my parents have these as 'normal' mobiles - they never text or use voicemail - when they make a call they want to talk.
'Its not like there aren't normal phones around now with big buttons, and vibrant large screens which would suit them down to the ground, as for complexity, well just dont tell them how to get to those features!' - I find most non-tech people have a habit of finding the hidden features, changing the settings and then not being bale to use the device again.*
[not necessarily @Stu]
This phone has hardly any features/settings. Sadly you cannot turn off the annoying chime it makes when you turn it on - at least I was unable to find it....
But I feel this is a good idea - too many device these days are deisgned with too many great features which are too diffcult to use or avoid or just get in the way.
*My mother in law used to set the video by following the instruction manual to the letter. One step said select LP/SP and she had no idea what this was so pressed the button each time. Alternate recordings were SP and LP. Too many features I think.
...someone gets the idea that people may just want.... a phone.
I purchased 2 of the Motorola F3 phones. One for the car, and one for my dear parents.
Not to everyone's taste but the screen works beautifully. Low battery consumption to boot because of the 'electronic ink' display...
The only grumble is that SMS texts take up the whole screen and get sent in lowercase but I rarely use it for texting.
Kept in the car for when I forget my own mobile, and purchased them for 9.99 GBP each with 15 quid airtime - an absolute bargain compared to the Doro!
Would be useful to deploy this as a "man down " alarm.... I heard the jesus phone might have such a feature.
£100 for a childs play phone?? For £30 I can get a half decent motorola pay as you go! For something so basic they should have priced it basic, and at a price obtainable by dear old gran too!
Great idea, and this would have been perfect for my Grandfather (RIP) who used to struggle even with a basic Nokia. I remember when my Grandmother had had a mobile for several months, she rang us (on landline) to complain that it didn't seem to work any more. Have you charged it, we asked? What do you mean 'charge"?, she replied! That's low usage for you, eh?!

WAUKESHA, WIS. - Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker became the first U.S. governor to survive a recall election, defeating Democrat Tom Barrett on Tuesday night in a historic conclusion to 17 months of political turmoil.
Walker was leading Barrett in all but nine of the state's counties as results came in for only the third gubernatorial recall in the nation's history. Walker's showing was strong enough that every major television network declared him the winner about an hour after polls closed. Later in the night, after elections officials had tallied more than 90 percent of the votes, Walker had an eight-point lead.
Barrett called Walker to concede shortly after 10 p.m.
Walker emerged not long afterward to address a cheering throng at the Waukesha County Expo Center. "Tonight we tell Wisconsin, we tell our country, and we tell people all across the globe, that voters really do want leaders who stand up and make the tough decisions," Walker said, referring to his stance against public employee collective bargaining that triggered the opposition to his tenure.
Barrett, speaking to his supporters in Milwaukee, urged them to stay involved and be open to working with the other side. "It's up to all of us, our side and the other side, to listen to each other," he said.
Walker also touched on the idea of conciliation.
"Tomorrow we are no longer opponents," Walker told his supporters. "Tomorrow we are one as Wisconsinites so we can move the state forward."
Former longtime Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson, a candidate for U.S. Senate this year, called the election result "a complete and absolute repudiation of the recall." He said he believes it will help Republicans in November and hurt President Obama's prospects in Wisconsin. "The Democrats are demoralized," he said. "This puts Wisconsin in play."
Reince Priebus, the Republican Party's national chairman and former chair of Wisconsin's GOP, also was optimistic that Tuesday's results could be a harbinger. "It started here in Wisconsin," he said. "It's going to finish at the White House in November."
Tensions ran high across the state throughout Tuesday, with both the state attorney general, a Republican, and the U.S. Department of Justice, part of a Democratic administration, planning to send observers to the polls to watch for vote fraud and discrimination.
Lines of voters snaked out the door in some precincts as Wisconsinites turned out in numbers that were expected to easily exceed those of the 2010 general election.
The race gripped the state for nearly a year and a half of exhausting, emotional political warfare. The state has seen raucous, massive demonstrations at its Capitol, a walkout by Senate Democrats when Walker moved to greatly limit public unions' bargaining rights and two rounds of recall elections for state senators.
State and national unions threw manpower and resources into the fight, as did local and national conservative and business organizations, making Wisconsin an early test for some potential presidential themes. Expenditures by the candidates and interest groups were estimated at $61 million and counting, with Walker's $31 million war chest supplemented by huge contributions from out-of-state billionaires who have funded other conservative candidates and causes.
Last-minute efforts
On Tuesday, as the battle came to its crescendo, Walker opponents held their 383rd "Solidarity Singalong" at the state Capitol in Madison, while Walker supporters here in his suburban Milwaukee base flocked to a phone bank in an empty warehouse for a frantic, last-minute attempt at boosting GOP turnout.
Walker, 44, is a first-term governor and now, thanks to his battles with unions, Democrats and liberal groups, a national political figure.
"I think most people are just happy to have the election over," Walker said as he cast his ballot Tuesday. "I think most people in the state want to have the attack ads off."
Barrett, 58, has led Milwaukee as its mayor since 2004 and previously served as a congressman and state legislator. He and Walker last tangled in the 2010 gubernatorial race, which Walker won by 6 percentage points. "Obviously, the lines are very, very long, which we take as a very encouraging sign," Barrett said while polls were still open. "People are engaged in this."
As the voting deadline approached Tuesday, Sara Rattan of Menomonee Falls was among volunteers making a last round of calls at the Republican victory center.
Rattan said she voted for Walker in 2010, but has never before been politically active. Rattan said she believes the recall process should be reserved for serious transgressions.
"I don't want to be in an endless cycle of recall elections," she said. "The whole state is in fatigue."
Volunteer JoLene Jannsen of Peewaukee said she is concerned about the kind of state and economy her grandchildren will face. If anyone should be subject to recall, she said, it was the Democratic state senators who left the state to deny Walker a quorum and delay passage of the collective-bargaining bill.
Working at a nearby food shelf, Jannsen said, has only convinced her of the suffering during a down economy and the need for Walker's pro-business attitude. "He's looking out for small-business people," she said.
At a Barrett campaign storefront in Portage, 90 miles west of Waukesha, volunteer Nance Kunde of Lodi said Walker deserved to be recalled because he hid his true agenda during his 2010 campaign.
"He really has betrayed the public trust," Kunde said. "He sold the electorate a bill of goods. He came into office and did the exact opposite."
Another Barrett supporter at the center, Jeff Mirate of Prairie du Sac, said the betrayals go beyond Walker's restrictions on collective bargaining. His canceling of a high-speed rail federal grant, his environmental policies and his cuts to the BadgerCare health program all run counter to Wisconsin values, Mirate said.
"Wisconsin has always been known as a progressive state," he said. "I think that the nation is watching us."
Divisions still
In Madison, Lynn Freeman, executive director of United Wisconsin, which planned and led the recall petition drive against Walker, said that whatever the outcome, Wisconsin will remain torn.
"No matter what happens tonight, the state is not unified," she said Tuesday before the votes were counted. "It's not done tomorrow."
Heading into Tuesday's recall, the Wisconsin Senate stood at 16 Republicans and 16 Democrats, with one open seat.
Democrats were clinging to the hope that they could win one of the four state Senate races on the recall ballot and take temporarily control of the Senate. Republicans easily won three races, but the fourth, in the Racine area, was too close to call as final precincts were being counted.
The balance of power in the state Senate could change again shortly. The Legislature is out of session, and half of the Senate is up for re-election in the normally scheduled general election in November.
Freeman said a deadlocked Senate could force a switch by Walker to a "more conciliatory" form of governing. But she's not banking on it.
"From a historic perspective, Scott Walker has never compromised," she said. "That's his governing style."

Jeeninga Museum
Gustav Jeeninga Museum of Bible & Near Eastern Studies
The Museum of Bible and Near Eastern Studies at Anderson University was established in 1963 by Dr. Jeeninga. The name of the museum was changed at the retirement of Dr. Jeeninga in 1992 to reflect his nearly thirty years of teaching and work in the areas of religious studies and archaeology.
The Museum's holdings include original artifacts from many periods of the Ancient Near East. These artifacts come from the Egyptian, Roman, Greek, Babylonian, Assyrian and Israelite Periods. In addition to original artifacts, the Jeeninga Museum houses a number of replicas purchased from museums around the world. These replicas include the Siloam Inscription (Istanbul Museum), Hammurabi Law Code and Mesha Stele (Louvre), Shalmaneser's Obelisk, Sennacherib's Prism, and The Rosetta Stone (British Museum), and the Egyptian goddess, Selket (Cairo Museum).

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (July 2, 2011)—Favored Courageous Cat gamely held off Caracortado in the final eighth of a mile to win the $300,000 Shoemaker Mile Saturday at Hollywood Park.
The neck victory in the Breeders' Cup "Win and You're In'' event earned the 5-year-old son of Storm Cat and the Rahy mare Tranquility Lake a spot in the TVG Breeders' Cup Mile Nov. 5 at Churchill Downs.
The Shoemaker was the first of two Grade I races Saturday.
In the $250,000 Triple Bend Handicap, Smiling Tiger, the 17-10 second choice, remained undefeated over Cushion Track with a gate-to-wire victory.
Second behind the brilliant Goldikova in the 2009 Breeders' Cup Mile at Santa Anita in his last visit to California, Courageous Cat tracked pacesetter Liberian Freighter, gained the advantage from that one early in the stretch, then outfinished the 5-2 second choice. He completed the distance on turf in 1:33.19.
Owned by breeders Pam and Marty Wygod and trained by Bill Mott, Courageous Cat was ridden by Patrick Valenzuela.
Third in the Shadwell Turf Mile last Oct. 9 at Keeneland in his only previous collaboration with the bay, Valenzuela reached a milestone with the thrilling victory. It was the 100th stakes success at Hollywood Park for Valenzuela, 48. He is the 10th rider to reach the plateau.
It was also Valenzuela's first Grade I win since he teamed with J P's Gusto to win the Del Mar Futurity last Sept. 8. His most recent Grade I victory at Hollywood Park prior to Saturday was Designed for Luck in the Shoemaker Mile May 31, 2004.
Providing Mott with his biggest local win since Court Vision won the 2008 Hollywood Derby, Courageous Cat is now 2-for-2 this year, having taken the Grade III Poker June 10 at Belmont Park.
Now 6-for-13 in his career, Courageous Cat's bankroll increased to $961,300. He paid $4, $2.60 and $2.20 as the even-money favorite.
Returning to turf after finishing sixth – beaten less than one length – in the Alysheba Stakes last month over the Churchill Downs main track, Caracortado paid $3.20 and $2.40. He wound up 4 ¾ lengths ahead of defending champion Victor's Cry. The show price on Victor's Cry was $2.60.
Blue Chagall, Smokey Lonesome and Liberian Freighter completed the order of finish. Ashtar was scratched.
"It was a nice way to get the 100th stakes win because Bill Shoemaker was my idol,'' said Valenzuela. "I just wanted my horse to relax and that's what he did. He relaxed perfectly behind the leader and settled nicely.
"I could have gotten him any time I wanted. I waited as long as I could and he kicked on for home. When that horse (Caracortado) came to him he fought back. That horse was never going to get by him.''
Marty Wygod is already looking forward to another encounter with Goldikova, the three-time winner of the Breeders' Cup Mile.
"I'm looking for revenge,'' he said. "If you notice in all his races, he goes to his left lead right after he takes the lead. When somebody runs up to him, then he'll start to do well again.
"You could see he wasn't going to give it up today. I was pretty confident. Patrick Valenzuela is a great professional and we've tried to give him every chance he deserves. Coming back at his age with his spirit and drive, it's a good thing to see him getting the job done.''
Third aboard Mr Gruff in the 2010 Shoemaker Mile, jockey Joe Talamo thought he was going to get his first win in the race when Caracortado began his pursuit of the leaders entering the final quarter of a mile.
"We had an absolutely perfect trip, just got outrun,'' said Talamo. "I really thought I had the winner at the top of the stretch because I had a lot of horse turning for home. The other one just had a little more.''
Back in California after finishing a much-troubled sixth as the 5-2 favorite in the Grade II Churchill Downs May 7 in Kentucky, Smiling Tiger was always in control en route to a 3 ¼ length win in the Triple Bend.
Successful in the Grade III Lazaro S. Barrera Memorial and Grade I Ancient Title in two starts at Hollywood Park in 2010, the 4-year-old son of Hold That Tiger and the Cahill Road mare Shandra Smiles is now 3-for-3 locally and 8-for-16 lifetime.
Trained by Jeff Bonde for owners Alan Klein and Philip Lebherez, Smiling Tiger became a millionaire with his win. The $150,000 payday pushed his earnings to $1,149,353.
Providing Rosario, the meet's leading rider, with his first Triple Bend victory, Smiling Tiger paid $5.40, $4 and $2.80.
Seeking his second graded win since being claimed for $40,000 by trainer Mike Mitchell in February, Camp Victory was a clear second, 2 ¼ lengths in front of 3-2 favorite Amazombie.
Camp Victory, a 9-1 shot, paid $6.80 and $3.80. Amazombie returned $2.60 to show.
"He's a really good horse,'' said Rosario after his meet-high 11th stakes victory. "The good thing with him is that when he sees a horse close to him, he just wants to beat him.
"He might be a Breeders' Cup horse. When I rode Twirling Candy (in the Malibu Stakes last Dec. 26) at Santa Anita, we set a track record (for seven furlongs) and it took us a long time to get by this horse. I worked him for the first time last week and I can really see how he's improving.''
Bonde indicated Smiling Tiger could return to defend his title in the $250,000 Bing Crosby later in the month (July 31) at Del Mar and also compete in the $250,000 Pat O'Brien Aug. 28. He was third in that race in 2010. Both are Grade I's.
"We got a good trip today and the horse got to express himself,'' said Bonde. "When he has his days he comes with a good one. This horse has the ability to go quick and still rally. He's got a very long stride, he's a big, long stretchy horse.
"Every day he seems to be a better animal. He was like a big, skinny teenager as a young horse and the older he's gotten he's put on muscle mass and filled out.
"He's become a professional where before he was kind of a goof off as a young guy. We're trying to win the Breeders' Cup (Sprint) with him.''
Don Elias M., a 19-1 shot, concluded a Player's Pick 5 and Early Pick 4 dominated by longshots, leading to hefty payoffs in two wagers with a 50 cent minimum.
The Player's Pick 5, which begins daily in the first race, returned $28,078.15. The return on the Early Pick 4, which starts in the second, was $64,068.30, the largest of the Spring/Summer. Based on a $1 minimum, it was the biggest Pick 4 at Hollywood Park since a record $355,727 April 27, 2007.
There were two perfect tickets in the Pick 6. It was worth $207,087. An additional $625,871 was wagered Saturday in pursuit of a Friday night carryover of $79,818.
When racing resumes Sunday – post time 1 p.m. – there will be a carryover of $35,974 in the Super High 5, which is offered daily at Hollywood Park in the final race.
Former Breeders' Cup winners California Flag (2009 Turf Sprint) and Dancing in Silks (2009 Sprint) are among eight scheduled to run six furlongs on turf in the $77,000 Robert K. Kerlan Memorial Handicap in the feature on the nine race card.
A two-time winner over the Hollywood Park grass, California Flag is the 9-5 favorite on Russ Hudak's morning line.

2012 Kia Soul: New Car Review - Video
Craig Scime: The Kia Soul is out of the ordinary in many ways, but it's not just this crazy box styling. What sets the Soul apart is really that something so eccentric can be a hit among buyers.
Amanda Salas: This five-passenger compact hit the showrooms in the spring of 2009 and was unchanged through 2011. But for 2012, Kia decided that the Soul needed a little bit more…soul.
Craig: When the Soul first came out, the Scion xB was the only other player in the unorthodox-box market. Since then, the Nissan Cube has entered the ring, and the xB has been updated, too.
Amanda: But, just like the xB, the updates to the Soul are pretty subtle and include new headlights and front and rear fascias-not to mention a ton of new colors to choose from.
Craig: The real updates lie inside the Soul and underneath the redesigned hood. Plus there's lots of high-tech goodies as part of the improved layout.
Amanda: Even in this base model you get an auxiliary audio jack, USB port and three free months of Sirius satellite radio.
Craig: You can also select from the Plus and Exclaim trims. The range-topping Exclaim comes with a sand-and-black interior trim and hound's-tooth inserts.
Amanda: And don't forget the Infiniti premium audio system that comes standard on the Exclaim. So it's got the look and sound to turn heads, and in most cases, it's got the fun ride to back it up!
Craig: Now the base engine makes 138 horsepower, which is on par with the competition, but with this six-speed automatic, it won't feel like much.
Amanda: To get some energy out of the Soul, AutoTrader recommends going with the six-speed manual or upping the ante with the two-liter engine that comes on the Soul Plus or Exclaim.
Craig: You know, this engine gets 164 horsepower, and that's 16 percent more from the same size engine from last year.
Amanda: That's great, but you know, Craig, no matter what engine you choose, you're still gonna get better fuel economy than last year.
The base engine gets as much as 36 miles per gallon highway with the Eco package. The more powerful two-liter gets just one mpg less in each category.
Craig: Now, you can't really measure how much excitement you get out of a car, but the Soul is definitely more fun to drive than expected. It's got nimble city handling, and the ride on the highway isn't harsh at all.
Amanda: And pricing isn't harsh, either! Base MSRP is just under $14,000, and an Exclaim model with several options tops out at around $23,000.
Craig: So, to get the most for your money, AutoTrader recommends the Kia Soul Plus with the audio upgrade and the sunroof.
Amanda: And with Kia's amazing 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty, you're going to have a lot of fun driving your 2012 Kia Soul long after your payments are done!

To report an emergency in progress, call 911.
November 22, 2012
The Placer County Board of Supervisors honored Kevin Eckard Tuesday for extraordinary service as a mainstay of the county's Assessment Appeals Board for almost 20 years.
Board members voted unanimously to approve a commendation honoring Eckard for his dedicated service to the county.
"Kevin has demonstrated his respect for the Assessment Appeals process by helping applicants unfamiliar with the process present their cases and by attending meetings on a moment's notice when a fellow board member is unavailable," Supervisor Jim Holmes explained in a memo to his Board of Supervisors colleagues, noting that Eckard always conducted meetings in a professional, courteous and orderly manner.
Board Chairwoman Jennifer Montgomery also thanked Eckard for his service, recalling that even people who do not get the outcomes they hoped for often have complimentary comments about the Appeals Board process and the respect they received during their hearings.
Supervisor Kirk Uhler noted he was on the Board of Supervisors when it established the Appeals Board almost 20 years ago. "I just couldn't be more pleased with how it has worked over the years," he told Eckard.
I am deeply touched by this commendation," Eckard said after the board vote.
He, in turn, saluted board members, telling them, "I would like to commend the Board of Supervisors for making such top-rate appointments to the current Assessment Appeals Board. It's very, very important business they do."
He also thanked the Clerk of the Board's Office, County Counsel's Office and County Executive Office for their support of the Appeals Board.
The commendation approved by the Board of Supervisors noted that the Appeals Board met 214 times during Eckard's many years as a member.
The Appeals Board's main function is to hear appeals filed by property owners who disagree with assessed values determined by the Placer County Assessor's Office.
The Board of Supervisors established the Assessment Appeals Board in May 1993. Two months later, supervisors appointed Eckard to be the 5th District representative on the Appeals Board.
Eckard had served as chairman of the Appeals Board since 2000. He was reappointed to the board five times, three times as the 5th District representative and two times to represent the 3rd District.
Eckard's most recent term ended in October. He works as the Probate Referee for the Placer County Superior Court.
In other action, the board voted to renew the contract with Dr. Steven G. Sugden to serve as staff psychiatrist for inpatient services at the Placer County Psychiatric Health Facility in Roseville from Dec. 1, 2012 through Nov. 30, 2013. At the Roseville facility, the Placer County Adult System of Care provides mandated specialty mental health services to more than 700 people per year who have acute symptoms of mental illness.
Dr. Sugden's reimbursement will be the same as this year. He will receive direct compensation of $285,372, with the federal and state governments picking up 65 percent of contract costs and the county providing matching funds to cover the remaining 35 percent.

Bobby Petrino has arrived at Western Kentucky and says he and his wife Becky "consider this coming home."
Petrino was introduced Monday as the new Hilltoppers' football coach. The 51-year-old Petrino replaces Willie Taggart, who left WKU last week to become South Florida's coach.
Petrino had a 34-17 record at Arkansas and is 75-26 overall as a college head coach. He is looking forward to "building on the standards" that Taggart established.
Petrino was fired by Arkansas in April for a "pattern of misleading" behavior following a motorcycle accident. Petrino had an affair with former Razorback volleyball player Jessica Dorrell, who he later hired as a football assistant had gave $20,000 in gifts. Petrino said initially he was the only person on the motorcycle but later admitted to Dorrell's presence.

Art therapy turns trauma to triumph
Kayla Doherty of East Greenwich found inner peace after childhood trauma through art and has decided to pay it forward with Kayla's Creative Crafts, Poetry & Amateur Art, free art therapy classes offered out of her home.
Doherty, who has a bachelor's degree in social work and psychology from Providence College, is a self-taught artist who discovered the benefits of art therapy during a stay at Butler Hospital 15 years ago.
"I carried those skills with me," said Doherty, who explained that she found an outlet for expression through art, crafts and poetry.
Doherty was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and multiple personality disorder stemming from events during her youth. From age three until she was 24, Doherty was subjected to life within a satanic cult and suffered a great deal of abuse as a result.
"It doesn't matter how often the trauma went on, it happened," said Doherty.
She was able to leave the state and go to West Virginia University to study for her master's degree in child psychology. However, she never completed her program. She returned to Rhode Island and eventually began to have flashbacks.
"Alternate personalities come in and the memories come apart," said Doherty.
In her late 20s she began a long career of hospitalizations – 93 to be exact – the majority in Butler.
"Most of my life has been hell. It didn't matter what they did," said Doherty. "It takes away your sense of self."
Doherty did call the police on her abusers and an investigation occurred, but nothing came of it except Doherty gaining a restraining order. The only family she has contact with is a sister, a brother-in-law and a niece who live in California.
While she says she owes her life to her current therapist, who she has been seeing for many years, she also learned to find a different outlook while hospitalized.
"Being in a psychiatric hospital, there is a lot of homework," said Doherty, explaining that she was encouraged to find a different way of life and held on to the idea that light always overcomes the darkness.
Now Doherty is hoping to help women and children find a way out of the darkness through art projects, unique crafts and poetry. Her program, which aims to provide participants with peace of mind and hope, does not just help those suffering from trauma. She says it can help those dealing with depression, anxiety, recovery from divorce, anything.
"We are looking for people who really want to heal through art," said Doherty.
In addition to her home-based program, Doherty has experience running similar programs in clinics throughout the state, including OASIS, Butler, The Wakefield OASIS and The Urban League. She also hopes to bring the program to Warwick's Kent Center, where she sees a case manager.
Currently, Doherty works with three children and four women in her home program. She meets with the women on Monday and Thursdays and the children on Saturdays for 90-minute sessions.
"We can accommodate many more people," said Doherty, who explained that a very talented and creative friend assists her with the classes.
She says doing an art project or writing a poem not only allows people to express their emotions in a creative way, but it takes their mind off of whatever they may be suffering from.
"This is very much improvisational art," said Doherty of her program, which allows participants to choose what project they work on each day. Some projects are jewelry making, scrapbooking, clay sculpting, sun catchers, poetry, storytelling and many more. The children in her program are especially excited to see their artwork on the wall of "Kayla's Castle," the art room inside Doherty's home where she teaches classes.
"They want them up," she said of her students and their artwork. "It's their room."
To fill her castle with art supplies and crafting materials, Doherty saved $600 of her own money, which she earns through disability, to buy them.
In addition to artists' rules such as clean up after yourself and respect fellow artists, Doherty has one other rule: she never asks about the situation a participant might be facing.
"I don't play the psychologist role," said Doherty, describing her position as an art facilitator. "I'm never going to be a psychologist again, but in the years I have left I'd like to spread the word."
There is no cost to participate in Kayla's Creative Crafts, Poetry & Amateur Art. However, donations of art supplies are welcome and reservations for classes are required. To contact Doherty about joining her program, call 886-0946.
