2014 Toyota Corolla: New Car Review
Did the all-new 2014 Toyota Corolla really need a complete overhaul? That depends on whom you ask. If you talk to our editors, they'll tell you that the previous Corolla was a dinosaur compared to the competition -- a cassette tape in the age of MP3s. But car shoppers apparently disagreed, because even in its final days, that old Corolla was still one of the best-selling cars in its class.
Based on sales performance, then, the Corolla could have just kept on cruising. But Toyota's been revamping its lineup lately with a renewed focus on style and technology, and the company wasn't going to neglect its iconic small sedan. Accordingly, the 2014 Corolla has received perhaps the most thorough redesign in Corolla history. The styling is much bolder, the high-tech cabin's got a bigger back seat and the new continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) improves fuel economy and makes the car feel more responsive.
Lest you worry that the new Corolla has lost touch with its roots, we can confirm that plenty of "Corolla-ness" persists. The controls are still laid out sensibly, and the ride is still smooth and compliant. In other words, Corolla loyalists aren't likely to jump ship. But there's a lot more attitude in this redesigned model, no doubt, and Toyota hopes that will enhance the Corolla's crossover appeal.
What's New for 2014?
The Corolla is completely redesigned for 2014.
What We Like
Excellent fuel economy; improved feature content; upgraded interior with bigger back seat; sharper design; reasonable pricing
What We Don't
Outdated base 4-speed automatic; inferior rear drum brakes (except S Plus)
How Much?
Fuel Economy
All Corollas except the new Eco model come with Toyota's familiar 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine. Rated at 132 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque, it's essentially the same motor that Corolla drivers have depended on for the past decade. Fuel economy, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, is 28 miles per gallon city/37 mpg hwy with the 6-speed manual transmission, 27 mpg city/36 mpg hwy with the 4-speed automatic transmission and 29 mpg city/38 mpg hwy with the CVT. Note that the S trim level, when equipped with its optional sportier CVT with paddle shifters, drops to 37 mpg hwy.
The Eco gets a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder, too, but it's a new version with modifications that yield 140 hp and 126 lb-ft of torque. Usually, more power means fewer mpg, but the Eco bucks this trend with its impressive 30 mpg city/42 mpg hwy rating. If you opt for the larger 16-inch wheels, though, that highway number falls back to 40 mpg, so the standard 15-in wheels are better for fuel savings.
Standard Features & Options
The 2014 Corolla sedan is offered in four trim levels: L, LE, LE Eco and S.
The entry-level L ($17,610) starts with 15-in steel wheels with plastic covers, LED running lights, power accessories, air conditioning, Bluetooth, an adjustable-height driver seat and a 4-speaker audio system with iPod/USB connectivity and an auxiliary audio input.
The LE ($19,110) adds 16-in steel wheels with plastic covers, keyless entry, cruise control, a 6.1-in touchscreen interface, a rearview camera, automatic climate control and a 6-speaker audio system with Bluetooth audio. The LE Plus package adds 16-in alloy wheels and fog lights, while the LE Premium package tacks on those items plus SofTex faux-leather upholstery.
The LE Eco ($19,510) features the special 140-hp engine with improved fuel economy, aerodynamic tweaks (including a subtle rear spoiler) and eco-biased tires, but otherwise it mostly shares the LE's equipment roster. The LE Eco Plus package adds 16-in alloy wheels, fog lights, chrome exterior trim and an Eco driving mode, while the LE Eco Premium package contributes those items plus SofTex upholstery.
The S ($20,510) adds a sport-tuned suspension, sportier version of the CVT with paddle shifters, a different gauge cluster with a TFT trip computer screen, piano-black dashboard trim, sport front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The S Plus package adds 17-in alloy wheels and rear disc brakes; the S Premium package includes those items plus SofTex upholstery.
Notable options include a sunroof and a Driver Convenience package (including keyless entry/ignition, smartphone-app integration, satellite radio and a navigation system).
Trunk space measures an average 13 cu ft, and the rear seat backs fold down for enhanced capacity.
The new Corolla comes with anti-lock brakes, stability control and eight airbags (front, driver knee, passenger seat-cushion, front-side, full-length side curtain). Disappointingly, the Corolla continues to be equipped with front disc and rear drum brakes rather than discs all around. Discs are a more modern and generally more effective design employed by many Corolla rivals. You can get a Corolla with rear discs, but only if you opt for the pricey, sporty S model with the Plus or Premium package.
The government has not crash-tested 2014 Corolla as of this writing. The independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Corolla its top rating of Good in all crash tests except the new small overlap frontal test, where the Corolla was deemed just Marginal (second worst of four rating levels). In all fairness, many cars have struggled to pass this test thus far.
Behind the Wheel
In our interior evaluation, we were struck by how much more upscale this new Corolla seems. The supple dashboard materials are much improved, and stitched accents on some panels add to the premium ambiance. This is hardly business as usual for Toyota's best-seller; indeed, "upscale" and "premium" are words we've never associated with Corollas in the past.
The Corolla's standard front seats provide adequate support, but the S model's sport seats stand out due to their enhanced lateral bolstering. In back, adult passengers will find unprecedented space by Corolla standards; thanks to three extra inches of length, the rear seat provides almost midsize-grade accommodations.
The Corolla's technology offerings are likewise impressive, including a standard 6.1-in touchscreen with optional smartphone-app integration from the LE trim level on up. We also appreciate that every Corolla comes with expected tech features, such as iPod/USB connectivity and Bluetooth, though if you want Bluetooth audio, the base model won't do -- you'll need at least the LE.
On the road, the 2014 Toyota Corolla lets a fair amount of road noise into the cabin at speed, but its ride is pleasantly smooth on most surfaces. Handling is sharper than in past models, and we like how the compact 3-spoke steering wheel feels in our hands. The new CVT is better executed than most, and it does a fairly convincing impression of a regular automatic with its simulated shift points. Although acceleration is basically unchanged from the previous Corolla, the CVT does make the car feel quicker. For this reason, as well as the fuel-economy gap, we'd stay away from the archaic 4-speed automatic that's offered in the L trim.
Other Cars to Consider
Ford Focus-- The Focus feels larger and more substantial than the Corolla, and it's more fun to drive but also more expensive.
Hyundai Elantra -- The stylish Elantra continues to provide excellent value, and its performance and fuel economy are close to the Corolla's.
Mazda3 -- A more premium option, the redesigned 3 is an intriguing alternative with its adept handling and improved technology.
Volkswagen Jetta -- Check out the new turbocharged Jetta 1.8T if you're looking for a sedan in this segment with a bit more punch.
AutoTrader's Advice
We like the S model's engaging paddle shifters and snug seats, and we'd want the S-only optional disc brakes, too. So the S is arguably the Corolla to have, though it's at the upper end of the price spectrum.

SACO, Maine — The father of a Saco man who shot and killed his family members in their beds last weekend says his son was ravaged by alcohol abuse and may have lost his grip on reality as he underwent detoxification.
On Saturday night, 33-year-old Joel Smith killed himself after shooting his wife, Heather Smith; stepson, 12-year-old Jason Montez; and two biological children, Noah Montez, 7, and Lily Smith, 4, at their Water Street apartment.
"Five people are dead, five of the closest people in my world are dead, and it had to do with addiction on both parts," Joel Smith's father, Stephen Smith, told WMTW TV.
According to Stephen Smith, his son called him on July 15 to say that his bank accounts were empty and that his wife was in severe withdrawal from an opiate addiction.
"He said, 'Come and get the kids and I'll let you know when I want them to come back. I don't want them to see this,'" Stephen Smith told WMTW.
The elder Smith said he picked up the children and kept them for about a week while Heather underwent treatment. When he took the children home, Joel Smith told his father that he had stopped drinking, but the elder Smith still "knew something wasn't right."
Police said earlier this week that Joel Smith was having financial difficulties, and that Heather Smith told a family friend the night of the shooting that her husband had threatened suicide earlier in the week by pointing a gun at his head.
"The only thing I can think of is that he may have been so messed up from the alcohol detox that he thought that was the way to save them," Smith said of his son.
Stephen Smith said his son loved his family and would never have "willingly" hurt his children.
A funeral for Heather Smith and her three children will take place Monday morning in their hometown of Phoenix, Arizona.
According to an obituary published online by the Shadow Mountain Mortuary in Phoenix, Heather Smith and her children were born in Phoenix and moved to Saco four years ago.
Funeral arrangements for Joel Smith were not available on Friday.

Getco is making a cash-and-stock bid for troubled trading firm Knight Capital that it values at $3.50 per share.
In a letter to City, NJ-based Knight Capital, Getco Holding Co. says the acquisition would involve a two-step process in which 242 million new shares would be issued, followed by a tender offer for an additional 154 million shares.
Getco already owns about 31 percent of Knight's outstanding shares.
Knight suffered a trading glitch in August that sent markets reeling and cost the company more than $460 million.
Getco, in a regulatory filing said that CEO Daniel Coleman would lead the new company, and Knight CEO Tom Joyce would become non-executive chairman.

CHICAGO — Chicago Teachers Union officials are set to start counting the ballots that its members cast on whether they want to accept a proposed contract.
Last month, teachers at more than 600 schools ended a seven-day strike after union delegates discussed the proposed contract settlement and voted overwhelmingly to suspend the labor action.
The union's financial secretary, Kristine Mayle, says teachers voted before and after school Tuesday, and that the union would count the votes Wednesday.
Mayle says that the results of the vote could be known as soon as Wednesday night or Thursday.
Teachers walked out Sept. 10 after months of tense contract negotiations, marking the first teachers strike in the city in a quarter century.

April 3, 2009
BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton University baseball team fell behind 4-0 after three innings and found itself on the wrong end of a 14-9 decision despite scoring six times in the fifth on Friday, April 3, 2009. The Beavers fell to 8-13 overall and 3-6 in the Heartland Conference while the Ravens improve to 13-8 this season and 3-2 in the conference.
Anderson put together four runs in the first three innings and continued to increase its lead by scoring three more in the top of the fifth before Bluffton could come up with a response. In the bottom of the fifth inning, catcher Stephen Torres (Lima/Juan Diego) singled through the left side. A Raven throwing error allowed freshman outfielder Nick Broyles (Toledo/Whitmer) to take first and Torres to advance to second. After moving up on a balk, Torres raced to the plate on a fielder's choice to the shortstop. Mike Ramthun (Springfield/Southeastern) collected an RBI on his double to right center. A Corey Conn (London) groundout sent Ramthun to third.
Cody McPherson (Northwood/Millbury Lake) crushed the ball over the center field wall, a two-run shot that made it 7-4. Tyler Stephenson (Springfield/Northwestern) stepped up to the plate and ripped a double to center field. Sophomore third baseman Brett Howard (Toledo/St. Francis DeSales) followed with a towering blast that sailed down the right field line to cap a six-run inning for the Beavers.
The Ravens continued their assault on Bluffton's pitching with three runs in each of the next two innings to push their lead to 13-6 before the Beavers got back in the scoring column.
In the bottom of the seventh, McPherson doubled to right field. After a walk to Stephenson, both McPherson and Stephenson moved into scoring position on a Ravens' wild pitch. A Howard single resulted in McPherson crossing the plate and Stephenson taking third. Another wild pitch allowed Stephenson to scurry home, making it 13-8 in favor of the visitors.
Ramthun found a gap through the right side for a single with one out in the eighth. Corey Conn followed suit as Ramthun raced to third. A walk loaded the bases and Stephenson picked up an RBI when he was hit by a pitch, sending Ramthun home for the ninth and final run by the Beavers in the 14-9 Anderson victory.
Matt Perkins (Convoy/Crestview) fell to 2-2 on the year after giving up 10 runs on 13 hits in six innings. The Ravens also scored four runs with five hits off senior James Hausman (Milford). Sophomore Nathan Blanton (Cincinnati/LaSalle) finished off Anderson, going 1.1 innings while not allowing a hit or base on balls.
McPherson paced Bluffton with a double and home run as he went 3-for-4. Howard also finished with a home run and single to go along with his three RBI. Ramthun, Torres and Conn all chipped in with two hits.
Bluffton will host Anderson University for a series-concluding double header on Saturday, April 4. The first contest is slated for 1 p.m. at Memorial Field.

Polly's Sweet Pastel Space
Name: Polly
Location: New South Wales
I started designing Polly's room in my head the second I found out I was pregnant. I believe that a child's room is their own little piece of the house that reflects them.
We are renting and this room was already a lilac color. I didn't want this to be too overpowering, so for Polly's room my color palette was soft pastels with hints of rose gold. I had my heart set on the Incy Interiors Jemima Cot and matching pieces, and I started to source pieces that would tie the room together.
Thanks, Kristy! Readers, you can visit Kristy at Incy Interiors.

The General Services Administration is looking for ideas and comments for identification management in 2014 and beyond. In an attempt to assess the validity and viability of its requirements, GSA's request for information seeks technologies that can offer greater operational functionality, more efficiency and expanded customer support in areas including system architecture, security, billing, reporting and service-level agreements.
GSA currently delivers nationwide end-to-end Personal Identity Verification (PIV) services to approximately 95 federal departments, agencies, boards and commissions, which support 850,000 identity accounts. GSA's Managed Services Office provides identity management services such as enrollment, PIV Card activation and backend systems infrastructure and integration for any agency that wishes to save money by leveraging GSA's larger capital investment.
Specifically, GSA's RFI asked companies to submit responses that address high-level requirements, including:
At this time no solicitation exists, so companies are not to submit proposals.

With a few exceptions, the Hatters have shown an affinity for the modern up-tempo offense that belies the team's overall lack of experience.
DELAND — Forget football. If you ignored the grass and shape of the ball, you'd swear Stetson had actually added a second men's basketball program.
Such was the nature of Saturday night's 49-34 loss to Birmingham-Southern. It might've been lacking in certain fundamentals — we're still waiting, for instance, on anyone from Stetson University (campus security, economics adjunct ... anyone) to tackle Birmingham-Southern's Isaac Nichols. As for turnovers, the fact there's just one ball on the field should indicate the importance of keeping possession of it. The occasional ill-timed penalty is also death.
"Well, it stinks to lose," Stetson coach Roger Hughes said through a tight smile. "The players are certainly feeling that. Penalties, dropped balls ... I think the players, when they look at the film, will be beside themselves."
Everyone else will likely deal with it in better fashion, because what it lacks in beauty it makes up in other ways. After three games overall and two at home, it's apparent the Hatters aren't afraid to step on the gas and sort out the particulars after the whistle.
You never know what may come next. In big-picture terms, "next" for the Hatters is conference play, and Hughes was asked what everyone can expect now that the "preliminaries" are over.
"I don't know," he said.
All coaches need to look at game film before making projections. Things tend to happen so fast for the Hatters, good and bad, Hughes' rewind button will get a workout.
With a few exceptions, the Hatters have shown an affinity for the modern up-tempo offense that belies the team's overall lack of experience. Being a football fan today means you have to pay attention, because huddles have practically gone the way of the Green Bay Sweep.
Saturday night was a great example of what you can miss while texting. No, it wasn't all pretty, but it was interesting, particularly the first half, which included touchdowns on returns of a fumble and interception, as well as a 61-yard run from scrimmage as Stetson and Birmingham-Southern combined for 58 points in the first 30 minutes.
After such a quick-paced and unpredictable first half, it was only natural that the teams left their basketball shoes in the locker room and settled into something a little more routine. No way it could last, though.
The lull died midway through the third quarter when everyone was introduced to Hagen Mancuso, the Birmingham-Southern punter whose two-hand, desperation shovel pass to his blocking back saved a huge loss. Somehow, it turned into a 15-yard gain and a first down, and while it might've been the ugliest completed pass in football history, Saturday it barely raised an eyebrow.
It was that kind of night, and Mancuso's play seemed to signal a return to the fire-drill nature of Saturday's game.
From here on, though, conventional wisdom suggests things will become a bit too predictable for the Hatters. And not in a good way. The University of San Diego makes the long trip to DeLand next Saturday to deliver a welcome from the Pioneer Football League. It'll be the first of eight straight PFL games for the Hatters, and Stetson's fan base, still in giddy infancy, figures to get a real-world look at the challenges ahead in a level of football presumably more stout than they've witnessed through the first three games.
Wins might become a very rare commodity, but entertainment — by design and otherwise — isn't a bad consolation.

Searching for San Pascual…
January 2, 2014 § 14 Comments
Over the past few weeks, I've been dialoguing via email with a fellow creekfreak about the location of Arroyo San Pascual, which was/is in the Pasadena/San Marino/Alhambra area. I thought I'd post the maps that explain this location so that everyone can enjoy the info. For those wishing to cut to the chase – Arroyo San Pascual is the westernmost of the creeks, joining with Mill Creek to create Mission Creek (aka, I believe, Alhambra Wash) further downstream. To the east are smaller creeks, including one that once fed the pond (Kewen Lake) that has since been filled for, um, lawn, at Lacy Park in San Marino. Jane Tsong covered the topic of the arroyos and fascinating geology of this area in depth (here 1, 2) – so I'm going to stick to the maps.
To the left, a federal survey from 1870 which actually gave us some creek names. (when I have a moment I'll scan and post the entire survey so you can see the rest) To the right, a screen shot of the creek layer I created several years back in GIS, which when imported as kmz files in GoogleEarth has a standing flaw of being offset slightly. The discerning eye can see echoes of the historical streams in the treelines, shadows of terrain, (in)convenient siting of ball fields… correlation of course not being causation. The arrows are meant to call that out for you, imagine those blue lines shifted slightly to the left. Happy creekfreaking, if you get inspired to tour to the topography, let us know what you find out!
Creek Freaks tour historic San Marino canyon creeks
November 9, 2011 § 11 Comments
Earlier this week was a rare coming together of all four L.A. Creek Freak authors: Jessica Hall, Joshua Link, Jane Tsong, and Joe Linton. We all know each other, and run into each other at various functions, and keep in contact… but I think it may be the first time that all four of us spent good creek-freek time together. We've all contributed to this post – Joe did the compilation, so I've tried to weave and acknowledge… and any errors are mine.
The occasion was a private tour of some of the historic creeks and canyons in the city of San Marino, and the adjacent southern border of the city of Pasadena. Our expert guide was Alan Jutzi, Avery Chief Curator of Rare Books at the Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens. Alan is the curator for the Huntington's upcoming show Water Began It All, which Jane is designing. She wrote about here earlier. Water Began It All is open weekends November 19th, 2011, through February 18th, 2012 at the Flora-Legium in the Botanical Center. As Jane described, the show features the work of Michael Hart, who's an artist but better known for running the Sunny Slope Water Company, located in Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley. Hart is responsible for using existing landscape and historical documents to map out these canyons, creeks, zanjas and more. Michael Hart's prints, including exquisitely detailed maps (much better than the roughly mapped google map below) will be available for purchase in the Huntington bookstore.
Hart's work was reviewed in last week's L.A. Times Lost L.A. column by Sam Watters. The article is a good creek-freak read, and includes Hart's piece, Old Mill in San Marino, a location that featured prominently in the tour this post describes below.
An Artesian Belt in San Gabriel: Part II
January 6, 2010 § 9 Comments
This is part two of a posting that describes the Artesian Belt in San Gabriel from West to East. For the introduction to this section, click here.
Grading and Draining: the transformation of the Shorb Ranch
The property we know as the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens, was once part of the famed ranch of J. De Barth Shorb, named San Marino. We are fortunate that relatively detailed documentation of the property has been preserved, giving us an intimate view of shifts in land use during the intervening century. « Read the rest of this entry »
An Artesian Belt in San Gabriel: Part I
December 11, 2009 § 20 Comments
From the Fair Oaks area in Pasadena through San Marino all the way to Santa Anita Avenue in Arcadia could once be referred to as an "artesian belt". Rainwater from the San Gabriel foothills sank into the vast basin under Pasadena and percolated upward when encountering the geological formation at its Southern end, called the Raymond Dike. The above-ground part of the dike appears as a bluff cut through with canyons. The cienegas and springs that "broke forth" from the canyons of this Dike, were among the first "developed" as water sources in Southern California, and among the most historically influential.
Irrigation maps from the late 1880s show marshy areas near the head of many of these streams. One especially detailed map of what is now the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens, records minor washes and springs not indicated on the 1880s map, along with associated areas of peat. This suggests the possibility that numerous smaller seeps may have existed elsewhere throughout this belt.
About two centuries ago, the Padres directed two zanjas to be built to intercept waters from the whole range of hills from Los Robles Canyon in Pasadena to present day El Campo Drive in San Marino to supply the Mission. The dependable supply of water from these canyons allowed San Gabriel Mission to become so prosperous that it supplied food and other items to settlements and missions throughout California.
After the secularization of the missions, a politically influential group of ranchers tapped these same waters to irrigate thousands of acres of vineyards and fruit trees. These ranchers were pioneers of horticulture in the region and promoted the cause of irrigation statewide. The ranchers hosted guests from afar, and these guests in turn spread effusive descriptions of their impression of plenitude. One such writer, Benjamin Cummings Truman, said of the San Gabriel "fruit belt": "[I]t would almost seem as if nature had fashioned this narrow belt as a theatre upon which to display the utmost prodigality of her productive powers."
As the pace of development in the valley picked up, boring wells and tunnels into the canyons increased the productivity of the original cienegas and springs.
To this day, culverts and tree canopy in aerial views of Alhambra mark where the streams of the San Gabriel artesian belt once converged.
This posting, in two parts, describes just some of these water sources from West to East.
The Old Mill and Wilson's Lake
From 1816-1823 the Old Mill harnessed water from the adjacent canyon to grind wheat and corn to feed more than a thousand Mission Indians.
After being put to use at the mill, the water flowed into a bog at the present day location of Lacy Park. There, the Padres built a dam to power a sawmill, wool-washing works, and a tannery. According to Hiram Reid's History of Pasadena, the dam caused the lake to double in size. Its storage capacity increased exponentially.
Though the Old Mill was quickly superseded by a more advanced mill built closer to the Mission, the canyon waters still flowed. By the 1880s, eight tunnels drilled to maximize the original spring's output were supplying the reservoirs of the Alhambra Addition. The total capacity of reservoirs supplied by the canyon's flow was 6.5 million gallons in 1888.
The lake also outlasted the Mission era. Subsequent generations called it "Wilson's Lake" or "Kewen's Lake". During the turn of the last century, it was a favorite with local boys:
Not a Pasadenan who has grown up here but has been licked for coming home with his hair damp with the waters of Wilson's Lake… Years ago it was stocked with carp and catfish… But today Wilson's Lake is nearly dry. In its deepest portions boys were wading about with their trousers rolled half up to their knees, and the poor fish, to the number of thousands, huddled together in their last refuge, prove easy game…
Wilson Canyon
Wilson Canyon was the largest of the canyons, and was a favorite picnic spot for Pasadenans and San Gabrielenos at the end of the last century.
[I]n summer it seems like passing into another clime to drive from the warm sunshine into the delightsome cool green shade of the massive live-oaks, gnarled and twisted into many fantastic shapes.
Though Farnsworth's 1883 description is one of delicate and airy grace, Truman's description from the same era of what may be the same canyon took "immense oaks and parasitic vines" and ferns at least five feet high, to be evidence of "the long luxurience of the soil and the tropical warmth of the climate…"
By 1886 at least 9 wells had been sunk in the Canyon.
Hiram Reid wrote that tree rats inhabited the oaks, and frogs from the canyon were harvested for dissection by Throop Polytechnic.

Dan looks at how the prospects stack up in one of the most telling categories when it comes to how skills will transfer between levels.
Dan continues our mock draft tradition of telling you which players teams ought to take rather than guessing whom they actually will.
June 10, 2012
During the fourth quarter of Saturday's Game 7, the Miami Heat's Big Three dominated as anticipated to lead Miami past the Boston Celtics and back to the NBA Finals.
June 8, 2012
The Boston Celtics were overwhelmed by a historic performance by LeBron James that helped the Miami Heat force a deciding Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
June 4, 2012
Without go-to scorers LeBron James and Paul Pierce, both the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat struggled to score in the extra session, but the Celtics handled it better and evened the series.
June 2, 2012
While the Boston Celtics' stars played like it, little-used reserves Keyon Dooling and Marquis Daniels keyed Boston's victory in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
May 29, 2012
In an impressive Game 1 performance, the Miami Heat showed the Boston Celtics will have a tough time keeping up with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in the Eastern Conference Finals.
May 25, 2012
The Indiana Pacers--or at least their starting five--played well, but that only brought out the best in LeBron James and Dwyane Wade as the Miami Heat advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals in six games.
May 23, 2012
The last two games have reminded us that LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are good enough to carry the Miami Heat to victory against most teams all by themselves. If they get help from a slumpbusting Shane Battier, all the better.
May 21, 2012
With his team in desperate need of a win to reestablish control of its series against the Indiana Pacers, LeBron James delivered one of the top performances of his playoff career to lift the Miami Heat.
May 18, 2012
Dwyane Wade was a disaster. Erik Spoelstra panicked. LeBron James largely disappeared after halftime. All of a sudden, the Miami Heat finds itself trailing the Indiana Pacers 2-1 in their series.
May 16, 2012
The absence of Chris Bosh put extra weight on LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, who were hampered by fatigue down the stretch of a Game 2 loss to the Indiana Pacers.
May 13, 2012
Both Los Angeles teams won the deciding games of their opening-round series. The Lakers exploited their advantage on the interior, while the Clippers benefited from Memphis failing to do the same.
May 12, 2012
Dominant performances from Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph, combined with Blake Griffin and Chris Paul playing at far less than 100 percent, helped the Memphis Grizzlies win a chaotic Game 6 on the road.
May 11, 2012
The Boston Celtics left an opening for the Atlanta Hawks to force Game Seven, but made just enough plays down the stretch and got some help from the Hawks as they advanced.
May 10, 2012
The Memphis Grizzlies went back inside--at least in the first half--and recreated the formula that was so successful for them in the first two games against the Los Angeles Clippers.
May 9, 2012
The Indiana Pacers lived up to expectations and finished off the Orlando Magic with relative ease back home for Game Five, pulling away in the fourth quarter behind Darren Collison's star turn.
May 8, 2012
The Memphis Grizzlies did not get the kind of dominant production they need from their starting frontcourt of Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph, dooming them in an overtime loss that gave the Los Angeles Clippers control of their series.
May 4, 2012
The Miami Heat survived with LeBron James in foul trouble during the third quarter, and when he returned, a fresh James helped Miami pull away from a New York team that struggled to score without Amar'e Stoudemire.
May 3, 2012
The Memphis Grizzlies avoided the nightmare scenario of another L.A. Clippers comeback by overcoming the Clippers' hot shooting with their dominance in the paint.

Saker Nusseibeh, CEO, Hermes Investment Management:
"Hermes is an unusual asset manager. Our shareholders are effectively 320,000 beneficiaries, part of whose money we manage. This ownership structure, and our long history of trying to serve their needs, gives us a unique perspective on how to discharge our duty as fund managers. We understand that the investment decisions we make on their behalf, helps to determine the shape of the future society in which they will have to live. We have a duty of care to use their capital to achieve holistic outcomes that best serve them. For that reason we became the first, and so far the only, asset manager with a specific pledge to put the interests of beneficiaries before our own and to behave with integrity, responsibility and with due care to the environment.
"Perhaps, most importantly, because of our close connection with the beneficiaries we serve, we understand fundamentally that the financial world we deal with does not exist as separate from society, but is intrinsically interwoven into it. Our beneficiaries (capital owners, if you like) often work for the companies we invest in on their behalf, or are consumers of their products, or are involved in their supply chain. Therefore the decisions these companies make, about their employment policies or their development policies for example, directly affect the beneficiaries and their families as well as shape the environment they shall live in as retirees. For that reason we engaged with companies from the start. Hermes' first CEO, Ralph Quartano, launched the idea of engagement as we understand it today in his famous intervention admonishing Marks & Spencer's Board for the special loans they made available to directors. For the same reason Alistair Ross Goobey, Hermes' third CEO, launched the idea of pursuing governance with his call for the separation of the roles of CEO and Chairman and for limited tenure contracts for FTSE100 CEOs, as well as for transparency.
"Cardinal Nichols in launching the Blueprint for Better Business said "For any business to retain the implicit licence to operate given by society in the long term, the primary motivation must be, and be seen to be, the desire to provide goods that are truly good, and services that truly serve people." We understand that working in finance should not strip us of our humanity. For that reason half of our bonus is paid for 'good' behaviours within the firm and we collectively try to give something back to our local community in Tower Hamlets, not by writing guilt motivated cheques, but through physically working with local schools and community centres.
"It is right that we celebrate Business in the Community's Responsible Business Week, for in many ways, over the past thirty years, the very essence of our existence as a firm has been the championing of the values that BITC champions."

France has baguettes, Japan has sushi, and the U.S. has its own contributions to the world that are hard to imagine coming from anywhere else. But these products aren't always everything they seem.
Some products, businesses and landmarks that are thought to be as American as hot dogs and apple pie are actually owned by companies in Europe, Asia or elsewhere. They all have their roots in the U.S., and they're all symbols of authentic American ingenuity, but they're owned by companies from across the globe.
CNBC.com presents a list of 10 foreign-owned brands, businesses and landmarks that are perceived by the public to be as American as it gets.

Someones been kind enough to share heaps of radio software on an anonymous FTP.
From a traceroute I think its in Melbourne, speeds pretty shit at around 100kB/s.
If you can stick to downloading shit at night or at least outside of business hours I don't think anyone would be bothered. Someones been kind enough to share to don't be a goose and start downloading shit in the middle of the day and make the internet so slow that nothing works. Virus scan everything.

Paul Marks has been keeping his eye on the antipodes
The recent election in New Zealand was widely predicted to be another triumph for the left. Certainly I predicted that this is what would happen (and my predictions have to be treated with some care – I tend to assume that things will go badly), but I was not alone – the BBC and the rest of the international media were all expecting the victory of their comrades (with the only dispute being between those media people who supported Labour and those that supported the Greens).
Sure enough the Labour party has got the most votes (about 40%) but even with the Greens (and fringe leftists "the progressive list") it would not have a secure majority (even assuming these various factions of collectivists did not tear each others eyes out over things like G.M. crops).
So Labour is looking to the "United" party. I had a look at this parties web site (just go to "New Zealand" on your searcher – then go to the elections and then on from there). And it does not seem to be in favour of greater statism.
That is the thing about New Zealand – it has a lot of political groups (perhaps thanks to P.R.). I looked into all of the political groups and "ACT", the National Party and New Zealand First can not be described as supporting greater statism (if anything the reverse – even judged by a negative minded old swine like me).
Now here is the rub. If one adds up the votes of United and the National Party and "ACT" and New Zealand First one gets very near to a majority of the voters. Now I am not saying that there is any chance of all these factions getting together – but I am saying there are a lot of "right of centre" (for want of a better term) voters out there (far more than there are in Britain). So the next election (three years time) may well see Labour kicked out and some real reform in New Zealand.
This is certainly not what I thought I would be reporting when I decided to look into this.
Final points – yes there are Christian and Rural parties in New Zealand (I have not dealt with them for reasons of time and space – they do not change the overall picture). And yes there is a Libertarian Party in New Zealand (and they seem like fine people), but as hardly anyone votes for them (they do not seem to have got one per cent of the vote) I decided not to examine them here.

Ep.6: Apparently the more some of us complain about the girls being sadists, the more they inject it into the show. I used to really like Aiko, but these past couple of episodes she's been kind of a bitch. =/
Sure she acts friendly and flirty, but that's all to get the boys into trouble. "Oops! Sorry I got you tortured again!! Wanna see my panties in front of these jealous, crazy sadists?? Teeheehe."

So let me get this straight. The guys are trying to prove their innocence of using a camera to peep in the girls' change-room by trying to peep in the girl's change room to look for a burn on a girls' butt?
Then again, this is "Baka to Test". I'm the fool if I'm expecting any intelligent plans out of this series.
I don't blame Yoshii for almost kissing Hideyoshi and Yuuji either. If I had to put up with girls like that every day of my life I'd go gay too after cracking some skulls.
Speaking of homosexuality, they just HAD to bring the psycho lesbian back huh? I'm thrilled.
How come I always find the male homosexuals always so much more entertaining than the female ones in anime? I can't understand it. I mean I'm a guy for pete's sake.
Oh Baka to Test, what happened to all your hilarity? How I miss it.

This is really cool, but I was just wondering, when you spray painted the hair pin, did you get some on the barrette? Because I was afraid if I got some on the barrette then it won't work anymore. I really want to try it but I would like to know if you can spray paint on the barrette please! :) Thanks! (You do great tutorials) :DReplyDeleteReplies
Hi (: I do get some on the barrette, but it hasn't posed a problem for me with the latch. I don't spray paint the back, just the top? Thanks~~~~ !! If you're worried, I would skip the step with reinforcing wire wire on the barrette and instead, spray paint the fixture then glue it on the barrette after. ^^Delete
This is incredible!ReplyDelete

A Level 3 sex offender from the Finger Lakes is in jail in Genesee County, charged with molesting underage boys in that county from the late 1990s until the present.
Sean M. Vickers, 44, of Geneva, also is wanted on two arrest warrants from Somerset Town Court in Niagara County, accusing him of molesting two boys under age 13 in that town late last year and early this year.
Investigators in both counties are looking for more potential victims of Vickers.
The Batavia Police Department issued an appeal Friday, asking anyone with knowledge of further abuse by Vickers to call it at (585) 345-6350.
In Niagara County, Sheriff's Capt. Kristen Neubauer said anyone with information about other crimes should call either the Sheriff's Office dispatcher at 438-3393 or Investigator William Carosella at 438-3328.
Niagara County Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth R. Donatello said each Somerset warrant against Vickers charges him with first-degree course of sexual conduct against a child, a Class B felony carrying a maximum 25-year prison sentence.
In Batavia, Vickers was arrested Monday and charged with first-degree course of sexual conduct against a child and first-degree sodomy.
The statute of limitations for most sex offenses against children has been changed from the usual six-year felony limit to six years after the victim's 18th birthday.
After a bail hearing in Genesee County Court on Thursday, Vickers' bail was set at $500,000.
Vickers has previous convictions for sexual contact with underage boys. He was convicted in Monroe County in 1990 and placed on probation for a misdemeanor. In 2009, Vickers was convicted of a felony in New Hampshire involving a 13-year-old boy, according to the New York sex offender registry's website.

The doctor should flip a coin and the wife calls it in the air.
If she's right, she names; if wrong, he names.
It's a baby, not a dog. If the parents can't come to an agreement, then they have bigger problems than what to call their child.
Seriously though, if you encounter this problem you should run from your partner as fast as you can because s/he'll give you nothing but headaches for the next 18+ years. If you are the birth mother, then be sure to give your child your last name and not the last name of the other parent (if it's different from your own). Surprisingly, this can make a big difference in determining parental rights in some situations.
The same thing we do every night, Pinky...

Just call me.... Revolver. Revolver Doge.

Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Whoever the wife decides should name the child. She risks her life in childbirth, and has the crap stretched out of her privates (and if stuff goes wrong, gets sliced up too). Giving birth is just like having surgery without anesthesia, the man is just a spectator. No amount of monetary compensation or act (except lifesaving) can ever equal the "cost" of a life. The woman's gift to her husband is the child, his gift should at the very least be to not argue about whatever name she chooses.......besides, the husband already gave the child his last name.........
........but I think traditionally the husband names the sons and the wife names the daughters.....This is one of the many things that should be discussed before marriage(how each other feels about the issue)
That's deep. Very deep. You almost convinced me there.
But in my ancestral tradition, the child is named after an ancestor. Or we give them a name that we want them to become, or something out of experience concerning them. We also believe that a name determines the child's... sort of... destiny. Like their personality & attitudes. For example my african name means Child of the Rainstorm. I was named after my aunt who was born under a tent (meant for childbirth) in the forest during a heavy rainstorm. In our ancestral traditions we honored The Earth, so all aspects of nature have different meanings for us.

You always get the son in the divorce, isnt that enough? :P
Anyways its a shame the kid themself couldnt come up with a name. So many people go through a long part of their life disliking their name.
People need to learn to love themselves.
Indeed, but people learn that by age. Being a teenage is akward for a lot of people and they get unsure of themself. I used to dislike my name, but ive come to terms with it and its part of who i am.
If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick.

Do you think that the wife or the husband should name the child they have? I think the wife should because she goes through the 9 months and then there's the excruciating pain of childbirth. I mean, it's not like the husband has no say, but I think the woman has especially earned it.
Please give an explanation for your opinion :)
Also, let's not to be sexist to each other please.
What about all the countless times over the years the guy has been hit in the go-nads? You know that there was a study done and getting hit in the nuts is about 1000x greater pain then childbirth.
Just saiyan.

Both parents of course.
Both parents of course.
Flip a coin to see who gets to give the baby it first name, the loser gets to come up with the middle name. Sounds fair right? That way they both get to name the baby.
I will look for you, I will find you, and I will raid your fridge.
So long as it's a respectable name... Try to remember a baby has come into the world. Don't make the name a big deal.
Don't get angry. Don't get angry. Don't get angry.
They should probably agree on the name:o
Or name them after street fighter characters

The University of South Carolina released measures of the economic impact of the eight campus system on the Palmetto State and University of South Carolina Beaufort in the Lowcountry on Thursday at the USCB Economic Impact Forum.
Darla Moore School of Business professor of economics Doug Woodward presented the findings at USCB's Hilton Head Gateway campus. He noted that USCB has an economic impact of $74 million in the Lowcountry region, resulting in 1001 jobs.
Woodward was joined by USCB Chancellor Jane Upshaw, who received accolades for accomplishing this achievement in a down economy. The University has sustained significant enrollment growth, leading to an annual budget of $24M. The economic model calculated the impact number, which includes the ripple effect of USCB's employment and payroll as well as the impact of all system alumni living in Beaufort County. This economic benefit is generated largely by tuition and USCB operations, as USCB receives only 5% of its annual budget from the state.
A panel of lowcountry business leaders discussed the results of the study and explored ways to further increase USCB's leadership role in the region: David Tigges, Managing Partner Mc Nair Law Firm, represented the Hilton Head Island/Bluffton Chamber, Jon Rembold, Project Manager Ward Edwards, represented the Beaufort Regional Chamber, Kim Statler, Lowcountry Economic Alliance Executive Director, and Marty Daniels, Daniel Defense Founder.
In response to the findings, Kim Statler queried: "Let's ask 'where would be without USCB in our community?'… The #1 issue globally is the quality of our workforce; our economic development success depends on an educated pool of talent… The investment we make in USCB today-is an investment to be competitive 10 years from now. Manufacturing jobs of the future will require that you are qualified to work on the technology side of the business. USCB's Computational Science program is the type of program that is preparing students to meet the needs of the employers of the future in the Lowcountry."
Rembold noted, "The university provides an anchor-it deepens our sense of community, our economic base and our attractiveness as a place to vacation or buy a home. It offers a level of stability as an economic driver, creating incomes, jobs and investment, that spill over again and again as dollars are spent in our community.
"Beaufort is an attractive place to retire-and we want to serve retirees who value culture and learning and community connection. USCB's Osher Lifelong Learning program, ranked in the top 10% in the nation, is key to our future development as a vibrant retirement community. A vibrant community is an attractive community."
Tigges concluded the event with his personal experience. "Our law firm hired some university students to work for us part-time. I was delighted with how smart they were and the work they did for us. The energy that smart young students, who are eager to contribute, provide to a business, and to a community, is one of those assets you can't measure in dollars, but it's there."
This event was co-sponsored by both the Beaufort Regional and Hilton Head Island/Bluffton Chambers of Commerce.
