Go with AAMPLE.http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=36681HTH.
I strongly urge you to reconsider going to law school this year. These schools simply are not good law schools and it may be difficult for you to find employment. I don't know what you career goals are though.What thing that concerns me is that you are considering a Michigan school and a Florida school and you really must ask yourself what your goals are after graduation. It is hard enough to find employment locally, but these schools certainly give their students access to the national legal market.Good luck in whatever you decide.
It's worth noting that the chances of getting through the AAMPLE program are roughly the same as those of actually graduating from Cooley and passing the bar (i.e. less than 50/50). A much easier option would be to retake the LSAT and apply next year. Then get into those same schools with scholarship money.

Cardinals' Freese to open season on DL
Jupiter, FL – St. Louis Cardinals third baseman David Freese will start the season on the disabled list because of a lower back strain.
The move is retroactive to March 23, which will make him eligible to return April 7.
Freese has been battling back pain since March 4 when he fell into the seats while chasing a foul pop. He had an MRI exam on Monday and also received an injection for inflammation in the back.
The Cardinals can keep Freese in Florida during the first week of the regular season. He could join the team when it opens the home schedule on April 8 against Cincinnati.
Freese was selected to his first All-Star team last year and batted .293 with 20 homers and 79 runs batted in over a career-high 144 games. The 2011 NLCS and World Series MVP has had 30 at-bats this spring and is hitting .267 with a pair of homers and five runs batted in.

It's not an ideal way to play hockey. It's usually not smart. It's usually not productive. It's usually not successful.
Somehow, some way, the Kings have made it work.
Now, they're only two victories away from hoisting Lord Stanley's cherished 35-pound silver trophy after captain Dustin Brown scored to give them a 5-4 double-overtime win Saturday over the New York Rangers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final at Staples Center.
The Kings have made a habit of falling behind early during the playoffs, pecking away in the middle and then pulling out a remarkable victory when it matters most. It's been a harrowing journey, filled with unpredictable twists and turns, but the end is almost in sight.
Brown's goal, off a deft deflection of defenseman Willie Mitchell's perimeter shot at 10 minutes, 26 seconds of the second overtime, gave the Kings a two-games-to-none lead over the Rangers. Games 3 and 4 of the best-of-7 series are Monday and Wednesday in New York.
The Kings haven't led for a single second of regulation play in the Stanley Cup Final. They played catch-up Wednesday in Game 1 after trailing by two goals in the first period and winning in sudden death 3-2 on Justin Williams' goal at 4:36 of OT.
They followed a similar route in Game 2.
"That's an interesting stat," Williams said. "I think I'm pretty much just going to regurgitate what we said after the last game. It's a terrible start. Able to come back and get a big win in overtime. Game could have gone either way, but we found a way."
The Rangers built leads of 2-0, 3-1 and 4-2, but couldn't seal the deal in Game 2. The Kings' Dwight King and Marian Gaborik scored third-period goals to erase New York's 4-2 advantage and send the game to overtime. Jonathan Quick blanked the Rangers in the third plus all 30:26 of OT.
Brown's goal epitomized the Kings' play in Game 2, and maybe for all of a playoffs in which they have played from behind continually and yet still come out ahead in the end. Brown muscled his way in front of the net and then redirected the puck past Henrik Lundqvist.
There was some grit involved and some skill, too.
"He's obviously the big leader in this team," Kings center Anze Kopitar said of Brown. "He works his (butt) off every night. For him to get the winner, it's very satisfying for him and very nice for us to see him do that. He's our captain. Usually the way the captain goes, everyone else goes."
Asked what went through his mind after he passed the puck to Mitchell and watched Brown tip Mitchell's shot into the net, Kopitar sighed and said, "Obviously, I'm very happy. I guess in some sense, relieved, too, that it's done and we can move on."
In fact, the Kings' ability to survive and advance is what's characterized their march to this point. Actually, the word "march" might be overstating the manner in which the Kings have closed to within two wins of their second Stanley Cup title in three seasons.
It's been a slog seemingly through waist-deep mud most of the way. Nothing came easily as the Kings rallied from deficits of 3-0 and 3-2 to defeat the Sharks and Ducks in the first two rounds of the playoffs. The comeback Kings were born back in April and May.
However, fatigue and the emotional toll of three consecutive overtime games, and four in the last five, have produced concern for the Kings. Growing accustomed to playing without the lead is one thing, but it's impossible to gauge how much long-term damage is being done.
"Darn right," Kings coach Darryl Sutter said when asked about the fatigue factor after the Kings played the second-longest playoff game in their history. "Thought about it late in the third (period) and I thought about it in the first overtime. Takes its toll. Always does."


text: 1 Notes on Linux SCSI Generic (sg) driver 2 --------------------------------------- 3 20020126 4Introduction 5============ 6The SCSI Generic driver (sg) is one of the four "high level" SCSI device 7drivers along with sd, st and sr (disk, tape and CDROM respectively). Sg 8is more generalized (but lower level) than its siblings and tends to be 9used on SCSI devices that don't fit into the already serviced categories. 10Thus sg is used for scanners, CD writers and reading audio CDs digitally 11amongst other things. 12 13Rather than document the driver's interface here, version information 14is provided plus pointers (i.e. URLs) where to find documentation 15and examples. 16 17 18Major versions of the sg driver 19=============================== 20There are three major versions of sg found in the linux kernel (lk): 21 - sg version 1 (original) from 1992 to early 1999 (lk 2.2.5) . 22 It is based in the sg_header interface structure. 23 - sg version 2 from lk 2.2.6 in the 2.2 series. It is based on 24 an extended version of the sg_header interface structure. 25 - sg version 3 found in the lk 2.4 series (and the lk 2.5 series). 26 It adds the sg_io_hdr interface structure. 27 28 29Sg driver documentation 30======================= 31The most recent documentation of the sg driver is kept at the Linux 32Documentation Project's (LDP) site: 33http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/SCSI-Generic-HOWTO 34This describes the sg version 3 driver found in the lk 2.4 series. 35The LDP renders documents in single and multiple page HTML, postscript 36and pdf. This document can also be found at: 37http://sg.danny.cz/sg/p/sg_v3_ho.html 38 39Documentation for the version 2 sg driver found in the lk 2.2 series can 40be found at http://sg.danny.cz/sg/. A larger version 41is at: http://sg.danny.cz/sg/p/scsi-generic_long.txt. 42 43The original documentation for the sg driver (prior to lk 2.2.6) can be 44found at http://www.torque.net/sg/p/original/SCSI-Programming-HOWTO.txt 45and in the LDP archives. 46 47A changelog with brief notes can be found in the 48/usr/src/linux/include/scsi/sg.h file. Note that the glibc maintainers copy 49and edit this file (removing its changelog for example) before placing it 50in /usr/include/scsi/sg.h . Driver debugging information and other notes 51can be found at the top of the /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/sg.c file. 52 53A more general description of the Linux SCSI subsystem of which sg is a 54part can be found at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/SCSI-2.4-HOWTO . 55 56 57Example code and utilities 58========================== 59There are two packages of sg utilities: 60 - sg3_utils for the sg version 3 driver found in lk 2.4 61 - sg_utils for the sg version 2 (and original) driver found in lk 2.2 62 and earlier 63Both packages will work in the lk 2.4 series however sg3_utils offers more 64capabilities. They can be found at: http://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg3_utils.html and 65freecode.com 66 67Another approach is to look at the applications that use the sg driver. 68These include cdrecord, cdparanoia, SANE and cdrdao. 69 70 71Mapping of Linux kernel versions to sg driver versions 72====================================================== 73Here is a list of linux kernels in the 2.4 series that had new version 74of the sg driver: 75 lk 2.4.0 : sg version 3.1.17 76 lk 2.4.7 : sg version 3.1.19 77 lk 2.4.10 : sg version 3.1.20 ** 78 lk 2.4.17 : sg version 3.1.22 79 80** There were 3 changes to sg version 3.1.20 by third parties in the 81 next six linux kernel versions. 82 83For reference here is a list of linux kernels in the 2.2 series that had 84new version of the sg driver: 85 lk 2.2.0 : original sg version [with no version number] 86 lk 2.2.6 : sg version 2.1.31 87 lk 2.2.8 : sg version 2.1.32 88 lk 2.2.10 : sg version 2.1.34 [SG_GET_VERSION_NUM ioctl first appeared] 89 lk 2.2.14 : sg version 2.1.36 90 lk 2.2.16 : sg version 2.1.38 91 lk 2.2.17 : sg version 2.1.39 92 lk 2.2.20 : sg version 2.1.40 93 94The lk 2.5 development series has recently commenced and it currently 95contains sg version 3.5.23 which is functionally equivalent to sg 96version 3.1.22 found in lk 2.4.17 . 97 98 99Douglas Gilbert 10026th January 2002 email@example.com 102

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyBornean orang-utans are predominantly solitary, occupying large overlapping home ranges. The largest arboreal mammal, they spend almost all of their time in the trees, clambering between branches or using their body weight to bend and sway trees (2). Each night a nest is built from bent branches, high up in the trees (5). Orang-utans are the slowest breeding of all mammal species, with an inter-birth interval of approximately eight years (7). They are long-lived and females tend to only give birth after they reach 15 years of age. The infant spends its first two to three years being carried constantly and will still remain close to the mother for at least another three years (7). The orang-utan diet is composed of over 400 types of food, including wild figs (Ficus spp.) and durians (Durio spp.) (7). When fruit is scarce however, orang-utans will feed on leaves, seeds and even bark (5).

From the Editor's Desktop
This issue is one of two that will be devoted primarily to metadata and closely related topics, such as the Semantic Web. The second installment will appear in April/May 2003. I am very grateful to Stuart Sutton for editing the special section in this issue: Mining the Metadata Quarries.
I am struck by how sparsely even eight or ten articles cover this field now compared to five years ago when we published our first metadata issue (October/November 1997). Both the scope of the field and the number of projects have increased enormously, but some things don't change. We are still waiting to see any visible impact on the major Internet search sites from the hard labor in the metadata quarries. Jane Greenberg addresses one aspect of this problem when she looks at how metadata can be generated more efficiently and effectively and, in particular, at efforts to improve automatic metadata generation.
Another important thread in the current metadata world is XML. If you missed Jay ven Eman's excellent introduction to XML in our last issue you may want to backtrack.
These two themes, XML and metadata generation, come together in the article by Rebecca Guenther and Sally McCallum of the Library of Congress. Their article discusses MODS (Metadata Object and Description Schema), a development that provides a MARC-based XML schema that is less elaborate than the MARC 21 bibliographic format but more descriptive than the Dublin Core.
Another major theme in the metadata world is interoperability, which has many aspects. Stuart Sutton selected two of them for this special issue: value mapping and interoperability through schemas. Guenther and McCallum address this latter aspect in the second part of their article when they consider the METS proposal (Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard), which provides a framework for attaching expanded types of metadata to digital resources, including administrative and structural information. Turning to research in value mapping, Joe Tennis tests the potential role of card sorting, using "audience" terms from seven different education vocabularies in his experiment.
Finally, Wang Jun explores ways to exploit library traditional tools, in this case the Chinese Classification and Thesaurus, in a networked environment. This article also concerns an XML experimental system.
Both Tennis and Wang are doctoral students, a category of potential author that we probably do not tap often enough. In addition, Wang is both the third place winner in the 2002 SIG/III International Paper Competition and a winner of one of the ASIST International Travel Grants for the Annual Meeting so generously provided this year by the Eugene Garfield Foundation. I hope that when you read this issue many of you will have had an opportunity to meet him and the other outstanding recipients in Philadelphia. As one of the judges I want to take this opportunity to express my deep gratitude, and I'm sure I speak for ASIST generally, to Sue O'Neill Johnson for chairing the Travel Grant Jury and easily doing enough work for four dedicated volunteers.
Which brings us to other matters international. In keeping with the efforts spearheaded so ably by SIG/III to increase our international presence, the Board has created an International Liaison position, whose first occupant is Julian Warner of Queen's College, Belfast. Julian and ASIST 2002 President Trudi Bellardo Hahn each provide details in this issue about his formidable assignment.
Nearer home, we are pleased to publish another insightful article from Lee Strickland, this one on the problem of balancing Fourth Amendment rights and homeland security. Lee focuses on the recent critical report by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to the United States Senate on the implementation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the USA Patriot Act.
Finally, Andy Dillon has some choice words to say about user-centered design in his IA column (I guarantee you won't want to miss this one!).
I'm glad to have seen so many of you at the ASIST Annual Meeting in Philadelphia and for those who could not attend, please look forward to full coverage of the meeting in the February/March issue of the Bulletin.

Building NASA's newest satellites isn't exactly rocket science, but that's the whole idea.
The space agency says it wants to change the way satellites are made, using rapid prototyping, off-the-shelf hardware and new architectures to bring an IT-style "release early, release often" approach to space.
Its first example: the PhoneSat, a Android OS-controlled nanosatellite that NASA says is the most inexpensive and easiest to build satellite in the history of space exploration.
A small team of engineers at Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif., is developing three PhoneSats, each of which will be 4 inches square -- a standard CubeSat, which is a miniature satellite -- and will weigh less than 4 pounds, NASA said on its website.
The Ames team is using a lot of off-the-shelf components in making the PhoneSat, including an everyday smart phone, and kept the cost of each satellite to $3,500.
The first model, PhoneSat 1.0, uses an unmodified HTC Nexus One running Android, NASA said. Future satellites likely will take advantage of smart-phone features such as its sensors, radios and GPS receivers, but the PhoneSat 1.0's job will be simple: survive the trip into space and use its camera send back pictures of the Earth. Ames has made two PhoneSat 1.0 models.
PhoneSat 2.0 will use a Samsung Nexus S, which has a faster processor, avionics and gyroscope, as well as a two-way S-Band radio engineers can use to control it, NASA said. It also will have solar panels to allow for longer missions and electro-magnets that interact with the Earth's magnetic field.
With their basic design, commercial components and rapid development, NASA expects the PhoneSat program to pave the way for future missions such as deploying sensors for heliophysics projects, finding inexpensive ways to make Earth observations and even exploring the moon.
NASA plans to send the first three PhoneSats aboard Orbital Sciences Corporation's Antares rocket, due to launch later this year.
This isn't NASA's first experience with nanosatellites, nor is it Android's first foray into space. In 2010, for instance, the agency announced it "Nano-Satellite Challenge" for CubeSat-sized payloads.
NASA also has used Nexus S smart phones running Android as the "brains" of some prototype robots aboard the International Space Station. And in 2011, the British space program used Android as the operating systems for an 11.8-inch satellite.
The idea of smaller satellites has been catching on, for reasons of both cost and longevity. In April, the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency launched an effort to build clusters of satellites in which each piece could communicate with the others and function as a full-sized satellite.
DAPRA officials said at the time that such clusters would cost less, be more adaptable than a traditional satellite and be easier to repair -- only the piece of a cluster that fails would have to be replaced, rather than the whole satellite.

Nate Wolters Finishes Strong, Adjusting to New Role with Milwaukee Bucks
Former South Dakota State guard Nate Wolters' first foray into NBA play has been quite a departure from his high scoring days in Brookings, where he notched a school record 2,300 points with the Jackrabbits.
Playing with the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Summer League, Wolters has struggled to find his shooting rhythm, hitting just 6-of-20 (30%) through the first three games, heading into Thursday's matchup with the Lakers.
And sometimes in life, things have to get worse before they can get better.
In the first half against the Lakers, Wolters took six shots, and came away with six misses, as his team trailed by as many as 18.
But then things began to click.
Wolters found his shooting touch in the second half, hitting 4-of-5, with a steal and layup that tied the game with 2:56 to play. He finished with 9 points, but the Bucks rally fell short, 72-68.
He also added five rebounds and four assists in 25 minutes.
After the game he talked with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about his shooting:
I've been struggling with my shot all week.
It's a little frustrating.
I didn't think I played very good, honestly.
I can do a lot better.
I'm just trying to adjust to the speed of the game.
It's a big difference.
But in the long run, it will likely be his assist numbers - not his shooting - that determines his NBA future. Something Wolters told the Las Vegas Review-Journal he's well aware of:
I think they see me more as a point guard than a two-guard.
In college, I was a huge scorer.
That's probably not going to be the case here.
Just come in when I'm called and get other guys involved and put guys in position to make plays.
I'm not super explosive or anything like that.
I'm just trying to be a smart player.
It's the realistic existence of a second-round pick in the NBA: no guarantees of money or roster spots. Coming from an off-the-radar school like South Dakota State provides its challenges as well.
I think you do (have to prove yourself a little more) being from a small school.
It's definitely a big step up to the NBA.
There's been mid-major guys, especially lately, doing really well. Look at a guy like (Damian) Lillard.
This year, half the point guards were mid-major guys.
There's an adjustment, but they'll find you if you can play.
Wolters gets one final shot at Summer League play Friday when the Bucks play the San Antonio Spurs at 7:00pm Central.

Whatever the Note is, it's got an impressive 1.4GHz dual-core CPU joined together with a Mali-400MP GPU. Now one thing we do know is Samsung's Exynos chip is a powerhouse; not too long ago we wrote how the Samsung Galaxy S II was the most powerful device out there, second only to the iPad 2.
That said, a slew of benchmark tests on the Galaxy Note showed how much of a kick-ass device it is. In a test tailored to the CPU, both BenchmarkPi and Linpack clocked speeds nearly 20% higher than the Galaxy S II — yikes.
Lastly, tests were ran on NenaMark 2 and SunSpider. On NenaMark 2, the Galaxy S II was way ahead of the bunch, but the Note came in second, but to be fair, the Galaxy Note has about 2.6 x the number of pixels than the S II. SunSpider, a system which JavaScript benchmark showed impressive results as well. After seeing all of that, it's too bad that a U.S. launch is unlikely.

Horizon Christian soccer coach Hal Ueland came into the 2001 season not knowing if he would have enough players to field a team.
He asked parents, students and other teachers to help him bolster a talented roster that lacked one crucial component -- numbers.
The Hawks' returning players insisted they would play every minute of every game if that's what it took, but enough players came forward that the team was even afforded the luxury of a few substitutes.
All the preseason uncertainty proved to be nothing more than a motivator for the Hawks because once they finalized the roster, all they did was win more games than any Horizon/Summit Christian team in history and claim the school's first-ever league title.
In fact, the Hawks ran away with the league championship and established a list of school firsts in the process.
They beat perennial league power North Clackamas (twice), placed seven players on the all-conference team, and completed an undefeated season with an astounding 13-0-1 record. The 1A Hawks also earned a first-round state playoff bye and the right to host a second-round game against Marist, a 3A school from Eugene.
Horizon played the Spartans tough, but were unable to match their speed and size, ultimately conceding the match 2-0. Marist went on to lose Saturday's state-title game 3-2 to Junction City. Despite losing its first match of the season, Horizon played Marist strong the entire game, giving the Spartans one of their toughest tests all season.
The Horizon players also came away from their state experience with a new level of confidence, realizing that if they can play toe-to-toe with a perennial 3A power like Marist, they can play with anyone, anywhere.
The Hawks may get their chance next season, as six of the team's seven all-conference selections will return, with a group of talented eighth graders moving through the ranks.
In the absence of senior league MVP and team leader Joel Stenberg, next year's team leaders will be defenders John Winters and Brian Stenberg, who effectively manned the back line all season; Paul Rovianek and Colin Franger, who provided offensive and defensive consistency in the midfield; and sophomore scoring sensation Cheyne Swick, who found the net a team-high 26 times this season.
Second-team all-league goalkeeper Aaron Griffin will also return as one of the league's finest net-minders to give the Hawks stability for a league-title defense in 2002.
Griffin will be without his back-up, senior Hans Vande Bruggen, but he earned enough on-the-job experience in his first season that he shouldn't miss a step -- or a save. Other key returnees for Horizon Christian next season will be defenders Dane Ueland, Elizabeth Nagreen and Andy Taylor; and midfielders John Harvey, Angela Petty, Chris Meyer, Britney Ballah and Danny Armerding.
Besides Stenberg and Vande Bruggen, the only other graduating senior this year is starting defender Jonathan Jensen, which means the Hawks should find themselves at or near the top for many seasons to come.

Document Scanner
ToughFeed is a name given to a group of functions — Staple Document Detection, Ultrasonic Double-Feed Detection, Intelligent Feed Control and Superior Roller Mechanisms — that are featured on Panasonic scanners to ensure a smooth supply of paper into the scanner for efficient scanning always.
ToughFeed helps to prevent the unnecessary interruption of scanning work due to an equipment malfunction or double feeding that can otherwise result in un-scanned sheets, thus ensuring high work efficiency.
ToughFeed Feature Compatibility
Preventing Damage to the Scanning Glass
Multiple sensors are used to detect various types of stapled documents, and to immediately stop the scanner when stapling is detected. This minimizes damage to both the document and the optical glass.
Accurate Scanning
Ultrasonic sensors detect double feeds. The KV-S4085CW is equipped with three ultrasonic sensors* to cover a larger area of the document, rather than the center only, for versatile detection of things like sticky notes or small documents mixed among regular-sized documents.
* 5 Sensors: KV-S8147
3 Sensors: KV-S8127, KV-S4085CW
1 Sensor: KV-S4065CW, KV-S5076H, KV-S5046H and KV-S5055C
Smooth Feeding
Multiple sensors check the paper feed condition and automatically adjust the roller pressure to ensure that documents of various thicknesses are accurately fed. This makes it more reliable and accurate than conventional methods that use only the feed mechanism.
Prevents scanning mis-feeds.
The paper feed rollers separate from the paper each time a sheet is fed, so the tendency to double-feed caused by the paper feed roller pressure is reduced, even when feeding paper of different thicknesses. Any paper sliding is also detected and the double feed prevention roller pressure is adjusted to prevent the paper from slipping and jamming.

There's no skirting the issue: us ladies at TBF are always hot on the heels of an amazing deal, ready to scarf up everything that'll make us look cute as a button. Hey, wait a minute, is it me or are there a lot of clothing-related phrases going on here? Buttons, skirts, heels . . . hmmm. Just for kicks, we decided to get the scoop on the origin of some common fashion idioms and phrases. Here's the lowdown.
What Some Fashion Idioms Mean
Skirt the Issue
Wow, some of this word origin stuff gets heavy (Viking invasions and the Old Norse language). Whew. Bottom line: "skirt" started showing up in English around 1300 (very pre-Target), a time when village borders were referred to as the "outskirts." People sometimes traveled these outskirts instead of passing directly through a city to avoid awkward or troublesome situations (kind of like how I drive just to avoid craziness in certain parking lots). Such serious info, right? Hey, I just like to say, "I''m not going to skirt the issue—I love a good deal." Check out some cool skirts below:

Hot on the Heels
Anyone who knows me is well aware that I'm a sucker for heels. Next time I slip my sole into a Bandolino pump though, I'll be thinking of that game where people make each other guess the location of something with "you're getting warmer . . . hot" clues. However, zeroing in on something has do with (turn your eyes away, vegetarians) a hunting reference where hounds are literally on the heels of their prey, in hot pursuit of dinner (which also evolved to the "getting warmer" phrase in the find-the-object game). Wow, who knew? All I know is that I'm hot on the heels of these lovelies:

2012 Toyota Highlander: New Car Review Video
Over a decade ago, Toyota pioneered the concept of basing a midsize SUV on the platform of a family sedan. The result was the Toyota Highlander crossover.
Other manufacturers were quick to copy that recipe, but despite the best efforts of the competition, the 2012 Toyota Highlander is still a tough act to beat with its combination of durability, comfort and economy.
There are three trim levels: Base, SE, and Limited. What's standard and what's optional depends on which powertrain and trim level you choose.
When comparison-shopping, the Chevrolet Traverse is a capable crossover with more space than the Highlander. The Mazda CX-9 is a better handling SUV, but at the expense of ride comfort. The Kia Sorento offers a third-row seat at a lower price.
The seats in the Highlander won't wow you with comfort, but they are mounted high, giving you an excellent view of the road ahead.
One thing we don't like is that the dashboard contains a lot of hard plastic, and the materials are only average quality.
With the second and third row seats folded down and stowed, there's an immense 94 cubic-feet of cargo space which is impressive for a mid-size SUV that doesn't feel all that big from behind the wheel.
The driving experience in the Highlander is best described as "Camry-like." The Highlander doesn't handle quite as crisply as the Mazda CX-9, but it's refined and completely composed on pavement or rough surfaces.
There's a 2.7-liter 4-cylinder engine, a 3.5-liter V6 and a 3.5-liter V6 gas-electric hybrid to choose from. The 4-cylinder engine comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission, the traditional gasoline V6 comes with a 5 -speed automatic and the hybrid features a continuously variable (CVT) transmission.
The 4-cylinder Highlander is available in front-wheel-drive only. The gasoline V6 comes with a choice of either front- or four-wheel-drive and the hybrid is four-wheel-drive only. Towing capacity tops out at 3,500 pounds for the 4-cylinder Highlander, 5,000 for V6 and hybrid models.
The EPA found that the V6 isn't much thirstier than the 4-cylinder engine, while the hybrid, as you'd imagine, is the Highlander's most fuel-efficient model.
Safety equipment abounds in the Highlander, including a full complement of airbags, stability control and active front headrests. Crash test results were good in almost every category of IIHS evaluations.
Just over $28,000 will get you into a 4-cylinder, base Highlander, but if you've got your eye on the Hybrid, the price rises to around $38,500. All Highlander models are protected by Toyota's 5-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty.
The Highlander created a new way of designing midsize SUV's ten years ago and it's only gotten better with age. The 2012 Toyota Highlander combines the goodness of the Camry with all the benefits of a sport-utility-vehicle, and that's a very happy medium.

The Pro Bowl is pointless. I know this, you know this, the players sure as hell know it, and the league has been trying little tweaks to hold off the inevitable. But playing it before the Super Bowl hasn't helped, nor has holding it in Miami. According to Chris Mortensen, enough is enough, and the NFL may finally take the Pro Bowl out back and put a bullet in its head.
According to Mort, the league could "suspend" the Pro Bowl as early as this year. It would still live on, in theoretical form: the NFLPA wouldn't let all the contracts with Pro Bowl bonuses become void. But it would just be fan voting for a sort of All-NFL Team, that exists only on paper, and that's probably good enough. If you're good enough to make the Pro Bowl, you can—or soon will be able to—afford a Hawaiian vacation without flinching.
