So we met Jennifer at a Starbucks and boy were we intimidated. She showed up in a power suit ready to go. She has worked all over Spain for the past 15 years and has trained with some of the best. She is here in NYC wanting to make a name for herself…the minute she said that we thought "not sure if she'll be able to do this making schnitzel." Once she was through pitching herself, it was our turn. I looked at Yoni expectantly, we needed to make her want to go from 5 star fine dining to…schnitzel. I watched her eyes go from hopeful to "thats it?" Needless to say, she was not that into us. Two kids sitting at a Starbucks pitching schnitzel to a seasoned chef - it was a little off balance. Jennifer was a power house, she cut right to the point and told us she was a) not interested and b) we couldn't afford her. My brother thanked her for her bluntness, I was scared shitless. We were not interviewing Jennifer, it was quite the other way around. We looked at each other awkwardly, unclear about what to do next: shake her hand? smile? cry? Before we could make a decision, Jennifer, as per usual, took control by shaking our hands firmly and walked away.
(This is some of Jennifer's work)
Jordy Lavanderos: 1st Tasting!
Hope you enjoyed Jordy in the kitchen! A couple of things we noticed about his culinary style is that he is very organized and clean as can be seen throughout the video. We had 1 hour to get in, prep, cook and get out so that Thalia could begin blanching fries for their lunch service. Jordy finished with several minutes to spare. His professionalism and cleanliness in the kitchen were impressive to say the least, and we couldn't wait to try the Schnitz!
We sat down in the dark but cozy lounge area at Thalia and anxiously waited for the final explanation of the dishes before we could dig in. The layout was as such; two veal and two chicken dishes, one with "Bamberg" style breadcrumbs and the other with panko and cornmeal. As we began to try each dish we noticed a few things right off the bat. Firstly, Jordy has pretty much nailed the flavoring and consistency on the "Bamberg" schnitzel. The first dish we tried was the chicken thigh with Bamberg and it was bursting with flavor. There was a real depth to it as all the different herbs and spices he infused into the crumbs lasted throughout every bite. The chicken was moist and tender, this was largely due to the buttermilk which I admit, I have never tried before. This schnitzel was firing on all cylinders; crunch, flavor, not too greasy and thickness. Next we moved onto the veal Bamberg. Who doesn't like veal? It was soft, crunchy and possessed the same flavor as the chicken. The only issue we had was the air bubbles that formed on top of this thin slice. Ya gotta let the crumbs to sit in the buttermilk (or egg yolk) for some time to make them "stick" more. Unfortunately time was not on our side this morning.
After being floored by Jordy's Bamberg style schnitzel, we moved on to the simple panko and cornmeal breadcrumb option. He soaked them in buttermilk and paprika to give them a boost of flavor however we all agreed this breading was the weakest. For some reason, the buttermilk made the chicken almost too soft and borderline mushy. The flavor was also missing in both the chicken and the veal options. All we could taste were the plain panko crumbs. While the three of us agreed that the crunchiness of the panko was working, everything else (flavor and consistency) fell very flat.
All in all, this was a great "first step" in the right direction with an extremely attractive candidate. The three of us enjoyed being with Jordy and interacting with him and speaking with him throughout this process. He is very smart and grounded (unlike some other chefs we've met) plus he GETS our concept. There is a lot to be worked out before we can move forward with him. Jordy currently is a consultant and has business called Spain and Latin Fusion where he does food menu and kitchen design. We would like for him to join full time and become a real partner on the Schnitz team. We will keep you guys posted as usual on our chef search, but keep your fingers crossed because we think Jordy has the potential to be OUR guy!
Quick update on our search for a chef. This past weekend we interviewed Michael Dinces atStarbucks on Astor place. Michael had one of the best resumes in our pile. He's been a line cook/sous chef at some great restaurants around the city including Jean Georges (under chef Angelo Sosa), Spice Market (under Stanley Wong) and Scott Conant's Scarpetta.
Michael was very calm and attentive. He seemed very interested in the quick serve schnitzel concept and after 8 years at some of the most demanding restaurants in Manhattan, he seems ready to partner up in a new kind of venture. We've asked him (like we do with all the candidates) to mock-up a menu and send it over to us. One concern we have with Michael is his ability to transition from a full-service kitchen to a small, quick serve environment but we'll let the food speak for itself.
Speaking of mock-ups, one of our first interviewees, Jordy Lavanderos, submitted a menu for us to review. You can see it below. Jordy definitely has a lot of creativity but we need to give him direction. For instance, while I want to stress to our customers that we have all-natural, locally sourced ingredients, I don't think we're fooling anyone by saying we're "green", "organic" and "healthy" lol. The way I see it, we are who we are. You don't walk into a Shake Shack and see them playing up the "green" and "healthy" angles. Nevertheless, we're going to give Jordy feedback and invite him for a tasting.

So yesterday we scheduled to have 5 chefs meet us at Thalia restaurant for a first round of interviews. They all responded to our Craigslist post and confirmed a few days before. To our complete surprise, NO ONE SHOWED UP! It was shocking and eye-opening to say the least.
We realize it's going to take a lot more time and persistence to find our chef. Not only do we need to be on top of the appointments we make and the resumes that come in via e-mail but we need to expand our search avenues. We re-posted our craigslist ad and we've now added listings at Chefjobs.com, chefjobsnetwork.com, the French Culinary Institute, and theCulinary Institute of America. Here's one of our postings below:
We are seeking a chef/kitchen manager for a quick service schnitzel concept:
- Individual must have ability to create and design a menu and execute this menu during service.
- Must posses strong leadership abilities as well as display a high level of culinary expertise.
- Must have 2-4 years experience working in a higher level kitchen station position (preferably sous chef or comparable).
- This is a unique opportunity to develop a restaurant. It comes with a lot of growth potential and equity option.
This past weekend the Schnitz team got together to cook up Chef Chris' leftovers. He sent us home with literally pounds of meat from different breadcrumb trials. We went crazy and cooked a whole mound and had some friends taste it. We received some very positive feedback. Safe to say, I have enough food for the week :-)
FYI, we're not planning to serve beef but you'll see it being cooked in the video below. It was pretty good.
We held a conference call with our beloved mentor Steve Zagor this afternoon to discuss some steps moving forward with Chef Chris Gesualdi. As we explained in our previous post, Chef Chris did not give much insight when we asked him about the process behind our consulting engagement. What are the milestones in designing the menu? How much time should we allocate? And, most importantly, how much do we need to budget? During the meeting, Chef Chris was primarily focused on creating a great product that represents us and we were ecstatic to hear his enthusiasm and passion for food. That being said, our business sense tells us that we need to put something in writing between us even though we feel we'll have a great working relationship.
Steve was able to shed some light on an engagement such as the one we'd like to have with Chef Chris. Donna, Yoni, and I had a ballpark figure of about $15k-$20k. Once Steve started laying out the deliverables, it became clear the fee would be quite a bit more. Keep in mind, our menu is rather small. Below is a general outline for what may or may not be included in an agreement with chef Chris:
- The recipes need to be speced, costed and sourced
- We retain proprietary rights to the recipes
- Spec the kitchen
- Spec the equipment
- Train the staff
- Quality assurance for a period of 90 days after opening to ensure the kitchen is running smoothly. (We'll talk much more about this in the future when it comes time to hiring a kitchen manager.)
For a chef of Chris' caliber to perform the services above would require between $40,000-$50,000. Ouch! Lol. This is not to say we don't expect to get a good deal ;-) but we're going to have to talk amongst ourselves and determine if we can truly afford Chef Chris and if we may need to explore other chefs to help design the Schnitz menu. To be honest, we haven't looked around much but Chef Chris comes HIGHLY recommended and his resume is fantastic. We were also very impressed during our kick-off meeting. We'll need to increase the funds for consulting a chef in our pre-opening budget and see how much we can afford before seeking investment.
Next stop: meeting with restaurant lawyer, David Helbraun of Helbraun & Levey LLP(referred to us by Oliver Kremer of Dos Toros).
We'll be discussing the formation of our company, an operating agreement, trademarks and, now, the drafting of an agreement between us and Chef Chris. Some giant steps in this process are imminent!
After weeks and weeks of working on a business plan, we finally took a major step in our mission to find the perfect schnitzel. Our mentor, Steve Zagor referred us to executive chef Chris Gesualdi. For those who are familiar with the restaurant business, his past experience includes Executive Chef at Le Bernardin and Montrachet. Since 2005 he's been working at the Institute for Culinary Education as a chef instructor. Donna stopped by his office to pitch him the idea and the chef's culinary genius started to swirl. We setup a date to do an initial sampling.
To say the least, we were very impressed. He had a room with 3 table settings waiting for us upon arrival. We sat down and he didn't waste a moment before the schnitzel started coming through the door. We tried three different breadcrumbs on chicken (breast and thigh), pork and veal:
1. Panko with paprika, tumeric, cumin and cayenne
2. Ground pita with chili powder, coriander, sumac, onion powder and garlic powder
3. Matza meal with chickpea flour and sesame seeds
Check out the video below for our live reviews!
Following the taste test, the three of us and the chef sat down to review the restaurant concept and give as much feedback as possible. In general we felt it was a great first step but we'd like to see the following changes in our next sampling:
- Use the cuts of meat that are appropriate for a quick service model: pork butt, chicken thigh, veal leg
- Meat should be pounded thinner
- Larger presentation of the schnitzel
- Panko in all future breadcrumb options
- Need to use a deep fryer, not a pan
In terms of taste, we want to create an "original" breadcrumb that will be the crowd pleaser and then a spicy option. From what we tasted, we're thinking we can work with option 1 above as our "original" breadcrumb and option 2 as our spicy breadcrumb. If you guys have any other ideas for interesting taste profiles, let us know!
We explained to Chef Chris that, in general, we're looking to design a menu that balances exquisite taste with easy preparation, minimal ingredients as well as take-out friendly.
We also discussed the process moving forward for the menu consultation phase. How much to budget? How long is the process? Will it be based on a fixed-fee? Chef Chris explained to us that creating this product is a reflection of us as restaurant owners. We'll need to work relentlessly to perfect the food. We agreed. At this point though, the costs of this engagement are still unknown. We plan to approach Chris during our next meeting about setting a budget and putting something in writing between us. We feel strongly that our expectations should be agreed upon before proceeding in order to avoid any conflict. In general, we feel chef Chris is very talented, he comes highly recommended and he's more than capable of designing a brilliant menu.

Grain prices for this week provided a lot more smoke than sparkle. Corn prices fell to the lowest level since October 2010 early this week, and they closed just above $5.
Jerry Gulke, president of the Gulke Group, says many factors are providing a bearish tone for the markets. First of all, there's a huge corn crop growing. With its June 28 Acreage report, USDA estimates U.S. farmers have planted 97.4 million acres of corn this year.
On Wednesday, Informa Economics, released their updated production estimates. As Gulke expected, the firm raised its yield expectation to 160 bu./acre, which equals to 2013 corn production coming in at 14.259 billion bushels.
For soybeans, Informa pegs the national average yield to be 43.9 bu./acre. That puts 2013 soybean production at 3.376 billion bushels.
While Gulke believes Informa's estimates may be a few bushels high for both corn and soybeans, he agrees that there's a mega crop growing. For corn, if Informa's estimates play out, Gulke says this year's crop will be 3 billion bushels over what we used last year.
"We don't need all these corn acres or high yields," he says.
On July 11, USDA will release its monthly Crop Production and World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates. Gulke says this month's reports will reflect the June 28 Acreage estimates, as well as include another round of the weekly Crop Condition reports.
He's expecting the July 11 reports to be negative.
"If you have 65% of the nation's corn crop in good or excellent condition that would say you'll get trend-line yield or better," he says. "If this thing goes through with average weather, with the acres we have, the market says it needs to go to that $3.50 to $4 level. That's not pretty."
Gulke says because the December 2013 corn contract gapped lower on Monday, it will be very difficult to close above $5.10 again. "That $5.71 that we had a few weeks ago is probably a figment of our imagination now."
It is a tough call now, in terms of marketing, he says. "There's a chance for a rally. But, what you should focus on is "I don't know how low the price will go, but I know where they shouldn't go. And, that's the prices you saw before the June 28 Acreage report."

We're not big into video games, but to our untrained eyes, this "feature" on NBA Elite 11 looks like an little bit of programming mistake to us. It turns out that if the Lakers get behind, one of their players stands in the middle of the court and stretches out his arms like he's Christ on the Cross. Just stands there, not moving. The most fun we've had with a video game since hackers figured out how to take the bikinis off the female volleyball players in Xbox "Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball" game back in February of 2005.
Maybe it's a Phil Jackson "Zen" thing?

AIG still trying to repay bailout
The company sells a stake in AIA Group in efforts to raise $6 billion.
By Jane Sanders, Benzinga Staff Writer
American International Group (AIG) has been steadily repaying its debt to the government after getting a $182 billion bailout in 2008. Now, it's trying to speed that along by selling a 14% stake in Hong Kong's AIA Group.
AIG is offering about 1.7 billion shares in AIA Group, each for between 27.15 to 27.50 Hong Kong dollars. That could raise as much as $6 billion.
The money will be used to pay back part of the bailout that the insurer received at the start of the financial crisis. AIG still owed the government $50 billion at the end of last year, and U.S. taxpayers own about 77% of the company.
It's a good time for AIG to sell its stake. AIA's new business growth increased 40% last year, according to a Hong Kong-based analyst at CCB International Securities. AIA's shares have risen 27% since the company was listed in a $20.5 billion IPO in October 2010. It was Asia's third-largest public listing.
The sale may be a benefit for AIG and AIA. As AIA becomes more publicly owned, it could be a target for fund managers tracking Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index and the Hang Seng Finance Indexes. It will also become more free-floating, weighing more on benchmarks. The move will decrease long-term overhang, even though it may drive down share prices in the short term.
The sale will also reduce swings in quarterly earnings for AIG. When AIG recorded a $4.11 billion third-quarter loss in November, $2.3 billion was from a decline in the value of AIA shares, which are marked to market price. Then in February, AIG gained $1 billion based on AIA market prices for the year.
AIG will not sell its remaining shares for 180 days, the insurer said in a sales document. AIG owned 33% of AIA, or about 3.96 billion shares, according to a report from AIA on May 31.
The U.S. Treasury has been selling back shares of AIG as the stock surpassed the $28.72 share price needed for the government to break even on its investment. The Treasury sold 200 million AIG shares for $29 each on May 24. Shares closed Monday at $30.41.
AIG has sold more than $50 billion in assets to repay the government, although the rate of selling slowed down when Robert Benmosche became CEO in 2009. Since Benmosche's appointment, the insurer has sold Nan Shan Life Insurance, in Taiwan, for $2.16 billion, and American Life Insurance, now owned by MetLife (MET), for about $16 billion.
AIG shares have climbed 26% this year.

In the year 2000, Hillary Rodham Clinton and then Secretary of Transportation Rodney Slater designated the East Coast Greenway as one of our nation's 16 National Millennium Trails!The Millennium Trails initiative was part of the White House Millennium Council's efforts to stimulate national and local activities to"honor the past and imagine the future." The public/private partnership was led by the Department of Transportation, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, and a collaboration of other agencies and organizations.The program was designed to spark the creation and enhancement of trails across the nation as part of America's legacy for the future.First Lady Hillary Clinton said, "Through the Millennium Trails project, we are building and maintaining trails that tell the story of our nation's past and will help to create a positive vision for our future.

5 Stocks Setting Up to Break Out
MADISON, Wis. ( Stockpickr) -- Trading stocks that trigger major breakouts can lead to massive profits. Once a stock trends to a new high, or takes out a prior overhead resistance point, then it's free to find new buyers and momentum players that can ultimately push the stock significantly higher.
One example of a solid breakout trade I flagged recently was Internet radio services provider Pandora Media ( P), which I featured in April 26's " 5 Stocks Poised for Big Breakouts" at around $14.20 a share. I mentioned in that piece that shares of P had recently formed a double bottom chart pattern and the stock was starting to bounce strongly right off its 50-day moving average. That move was quickly pushing shares of P within range of triggering a near-term breakout above some overhead resistance levels that had acted as a wall for the stock for the prior two months. Those resistance levels were at $14.03 to $14.32 and its 52-week high at $14.70 a share.
>>5 Stocks Under $10 Set to Soar
Guess what happened? Shares of P triggered that breakout the following week, and the stock hit a high of $15.21 a share. This stock pulled back following that breakout to right above its 50-day moving average, and then it resumed its uptrend and broke out again above $15.21 a share with heavy upside volume. This stock continued to soar, with shares hitting a new 52-week high of $17.16 a share earlier this week. That represents a solid gain in very short timeframe for anyone who took the breakout trade.Breakout candidates are something that I tweet about on a daily basis. I frequently tweet out high-probability setups, breakout plays and stocks that are acting technically bullish. These are the stocks that often go on to make monster moves to the upside. What's great about breakout trading is that you focus on trend, price and volume. You don't have to concern yourself with anything else. The charts do all the talking. >>5 Stocks Trades for S&P 1,700 Trading breakouts is not a new game on Wall Street. This strategy has been mastered by legendary traders such as William O'Neal, Stan Weinstein and Nicolas Darvas. These pros know that once a stock starts to break out above past resistance levels, and hold above those breakout prices, then it can easily trend significantly higher. With that in mind, here's a look at five stocks that are setting up to break out and trade higher from current levels. >>5 Dividend Stocks That Want to Pay You More

The PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG Propulsion team completed their Atlantic crossing early Monday morning, July 11, at 05:40 UTC to finish the Transatlantic Race 2011. PUMA's Mar Mostro was the second boat to cross the finish line at Lizard Point, Cornwall, U.K., behind Rambler 100, and is currently leading the IRC overall standings based on corrected time. Skipper Ken Read and crew traveled the 2,975 nautical mile course in 7 days, 11 hours and 40 minutes.
"We entered the race with zero expectations, just like the other IRC handicap racing we've done this year," Read said. "We wanted to learn the boat and the crew. Now, here we are in the position of possibly winning a race that we didn't expect to win. We're pleasantly shocked. We didn't break anything, the sails held up, the team is certainly coming together, and there's not a single negative to this race. It was a great experience."
The race was the first test for the PUMA team and new Volvo Open 70 racing yacht. The 11-member crew departed Newport, R.I., on Sunday, July 3, alongside five other boats in IRC Class 1 in the final start of the race. Rambler 100 (skipper George David) earned line honors after finishing on Sunday, July 10, at 16:08 UTC. Also in the class: ICAP Leopard (Clarke Murphy); Beau Geste (Karl Kwok); Sojana (Peter Harrison); and Vanquish (USMMA – All American Offshore Team). Overall, 26 boats ranging from 40 to 289 feet in length entered the race.
PUMA's Mar Mostro reached a maximum speed of just over 30 knots early in the race, traveling 551 nautical miles on Day 3. By Friday, light air slowed the pace through the line.
"The finish was excruciating," Read said. "We approached The Lizard, knowing we had to get there quick because the current was about to change and go against us. As we entered the English Channel, the breeze was dying steadily to the point where the current did change. Literally, when the race committee said we were finished, we were stopped and about to throw the anchor as we would have been going backwards with the current. A bizarre twist to the finish.
"But, this is boat racing," Read continued. "It's great training because you have to be ready for the extreme highs and lows, and that goes for weather as well. To finish in a complete drift off is another lesson learned – be prepared for everything."
Read and crew are not stopping in the U.K., but are already heading south to the Canary Islands. The team's summer training headquarters becomes the Puerto Calero Marina in Lanzarote at the end of this week. From there, the crew will head to the race start location of Alicante, Spain, in late September. Next racing on the docket is the Volvo Ocean Race with Leg 1 beginning November 5.
"The boat doesn't have a list of any real problems," Read said looking ahead. "But, we can't sit back and think 'we're done,' or that we're great. We know we have to get better, and an experience like this helps us sort out a lot of little things that we can get better at. If you don't improve every day, then you're going backwards because everybody else is improving."

KERSHAW – York Technical College's Kershaw/Heath Springs campus will soon have a second classroom with distance-learning opportunities.
The campus is the beneficiary of a $165,000 Community Enrichment Grant from the state's Community Development Black Grant Program. About half of the grant will go toward equipment for a distance-learning center, which allows students to interact in real time with instructors at York Tech's main campus in Rock Hill.
INDIAN LAND – Parents in the Panhandle received a lot of insight Nov. 20 regarding issues that may be bothersome to their children.
Indian Land Middle School hosted a parent seminar that shed light on four topics – peer pressure, maturing bodies, eating disorders and gangs.
Local professionals, as well as guests from Charlotte, facilitated the four sessions.
Peer pressure
INDIAN LAND – It's hard to imagine the horrors of a child sexually abused by her father and brother.
For Indian Land resident Sarah Harrison, it's a reality.
Harrison, 65, remembers being sexually abused by her father as early as age 4. It could have begun before that, but she can't remember.
When she was 7, her mother made her sleep in the same bed as her 14-year-old brother, because her mother felt the bed Harrison shared with two other sisters was getting too crowded. Her brother also molested her.
The Multi-Cultural Information Center in Lancaster is now issuing bilingual identification cards to anybody who needs one.
Sal Estrada, who oversees the center, said the cards will be beneficial to someone living here who's primary language is not English. The cards cost $25, which will go toward operating costs for the center.
The cards will include the following information in two languages: the person's name, address, nationality and emergency contacts.
The revived Ward Faulkenberry Memorial Christmas Basket Fund has raised a record amount in its first two days of collections.
Donations have been streaming into HOPE of Lancaster since Wednesday. The new organizers of the fund say they collected $1,075 in just two days.
"I'm just really excited," said Elaine Adkins, executive director of HOPE. "For us to get that much in two days, it's just wonderful. I just can't wait to see what happens."
On Dec. 7, 1941, a young Lancaster man – U.S. Army Sgt. Paul D. Robertson – found himself in the center of America's entry into the World War II.
Robertson, an electrician in the 259th Quarter Master Corps of the 7th Bomber Command, was stationed at Hickam Field on the island of Oahu in Hawaii when the war broke out. Hickam is adjacent to Pearl Harbor.
That day, Robertson received a near-fatal chest wound from flying shrapnel when the Imperial Japanese Air Force started its ugly Sunday morning bombing.
Lancaster County Parks and Recreation Commission youth soccer teams, representing the Central District, will compete for state championships Saturday at the Manchester Meadows Complex in Rock Hill.
The Lancaster County contigent includes three all-star squads which includes the 10-under, 12-under and 15-under teams.
The 10-under team, led by coach Melvin Lucas, plays Beaufort in the 10 a.m. state semifinals. A win advances the 10-under team to the state title match, while a loss sends them to the state consolation match.
KERSHAW – Andrew Jackson will face plenty of stiff competition in Region IV-AA, as three of six members are ranked in the top 10 in preseason Class AA polls.
"Eau Claire, W. J. Keenan and Central of Pageland are all quality teams that we will vie with for the region title," said AJ coach Dale Reeves. "All three are ranked in the preseason polls, so we will have our work cut out for us."
Reeves, in his second year at the AJ helm, looks to improve on last year's 8-14 mark.
INDIAN LAND – Visiting Nation Ford played the spoiler in Indian Land's 2008-09 hoops debut.
The Class AAAA Falcons took a pair of wins over the Warriors on Wednesday night.
Nation Ford topped the IL boys 60-50 after the Lady Warriors dropped a 41-33 loss.
Nation Ford forged a 28-24 lead at the break and extended its lead to 45-34 after three periods before taking the 10-point win in the nightcap.
As Dec. 25 draws closer, it's not unusual for service members and their families to be apart or away from home for the holidays.
When I was in the military, many of my Christmases were celebrated on days far removed from cold December mornings. It came with the territory.
However, one year was different.
I had just completed a tour of duty on an isolated Pacific island.

Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
2004 Acura TL
This 2004 review is representative of model years 2004 to 2008.
By Dan Jedlicka of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
Nicely redesigned TL should keep this car very popular.
Honda's upscale Acura division was the first Japanese automaker to enter the now-crowded "near-luxury" auto market in the mid-1990s and its aggressively styled new TL sedan should remain a hot contender.
The first TL was introduced in 1995. The new model is the third-generation TL. The car didn't really take off until the second-generation, equipment-loaded model arrived for 1999, when it became known as an outright bargain with its fairly low price and high quality.
The 1999 model was larger and based on the less-luxurious Honda Accord. The new model is based on Honda's latest Accord, which has stiffer construction for sharper responses and a better overall feel.
Racier Styling
The new model has nearly the same wheelbase as its predecessor at 107.9 inches, but is 6.3 inches shorter overall. However, it stands 3 inches taller, 1.5 inches wider and has a wider track. It looks fast and lean, as if doing 75 mph just sitting there.
The $32,650-$34,850 TL also is more expensive, but its price is in line with most similarly equipped rivals.
The philosophy behind the TL has been to offer a fast, roomy, high-quality sedan that is reasonably priced for a near-luxury auto and so well equipped that no factory options are needed.
Equipment Tradition Continued
Want leather upholstery with heated power front seats and air conditioning with dual-zone automatic climate controls? You've got them. Desire a power sunroof and power windows, mirrors and locks with remote keyless entry? You've also got them—along with lots of other stuff.
Safety Features
An assortment of class-leading innovations and industry firsts include a DVD-Audio 8-speaker Surround Sound System with DVD-Audio, a DTS and CD 6-disc CD changer, an AM-FM tuner and a Dolby cassette. There's also a XM Satellite Radio and hands-free phone connectivity utilizing Bluetooth technology.
An OnStar assistance system no longer is offered.
More horsepower
Acceleration of the 3,575-pound TL is lively, with a 0-60 mph time of 6.4 seconds. Fuel economy is OK for a fast, roomy sedan: an estimated 20 mpg in the city and 30 on highways with a 6-speed manual gearbox and 20 and 28 with a 5-speed automatic transmission. The automatic is responsive, with a manual-shift feature, but has an annoyingly notchy shift lever.
New Manual Transmission
However, the automatic transmission is more appropriate for the luxury oriented TL. This isn't a genuine sports sedan because its front-wheel-drive layout makes it nose-heavy, with 61.4 percent of its weight up front.
The TL thus lacks the more even weight distribution and balance of a genuine sports sedan such as a rear-wheel-drive BMW. The redesigned chassis and all-independent suspension can't overcome the excessive front weight, which causes front tires to cope with too much handling and braking chores.
New Sport Suspension
But the option costs $5,200 not including dealer installation and doesn't add horsepower, so why bother with it?
Good Ride and Handling
The newly refined, sharp steering is nicely weighted and the brakes are strong, although not the best in class. The (45-series) tires are wider and put on big 17-inch wheels.
Upscale Interior
Front seats offer superb support, but rear seat cushions lack adequate thigh support, especially for those with long legs. Front doors have pockets that conveniently snap open. Dual cupholders on the console are located to help prevent spills and have a sliding cover. The large rear center armrest has sturdy pull-out dual cupholders.
The nicely shaped trunk is pretty roomy and fully lined. It has a low, wide opening and covered lid hinges to prevent cargo damage.
The TL isn't the outright bargain it once was because of its higher prices, but it remains one of the best buys in its class.

The collective impact of shifting our basic everyday human behaviors, done differently, how much change could we affect?
Suppose we, humanity as a whole, did what we do, differently, meaning carried out our basic human behaviors well-- differently? Then let's say we focused on applying the potential of that change in behavior on specific objectives (climate change, political shifts, water waste, days of random acts of kindness, What if instead of turning on the water to full open, we habitually opened it just an 1/8 or 1/4 turn etc.) The duration, of the perhaps daily world wide initiative, is open for now, but each day this event would occur. You could easily make this model data driven, regarding the impact-- for the world to see. We have seen glimmers of this such as World Peace Day. How long would it take to have an impact on the "scale" of the UID initiative in India, where their registration is up to nearly 1 billion over just two years (granted that discussion and its implications are debatable on either side). Why are we not doing such things? Could we accelerate the change in overall behavior?
As a cost benefit analysis we could use a portion of the resources saved that could then be reallocated to the neediest people as a form of redistribution. While this could require a massive logistical challenge, perhaps we could find a way to scale it so that the meaning were not lost.
What is it about human nature that often decimates the idea of self preservation relative to the way we view our resources; whether it is our personal energies (more people being more kind) or our attitude towards our natural resources? Are the folkways and mores ingrained in such a way that deviating at this point in humanity creates a threat that deters us from doing what is most right relative to humanity's sense of wellness?

For the AJC
There are several big games with post season ramifications on tap in Week 10. We highlight some of them and project some first-round playoff scenarios based on the updated Power Rankings.
Also, for fun, we look at what the first round would look like under the old system. And finally, I give "My Take" on the whole "transfer/recruiting" issue, which is a key reason many people believe splitting the public and private schools is a good idea. Here we go!
Walker (7-0, 4-0) at Whitefield Academy (5-2, 4-0 in Region 6-Division B ). This one will decide the sub region champion in Region 6. It will also break the 5-5 tie in the all-time series between the two Cobb County private schools. Whitefield won last season, 38-13. Walker is one of only two teams (No. 3 Athens Academy) still undefeated in Class A.
No. 8 Irwin County (5-2, 3-0 in Region 2) at Turner County (5-2, 2-2). In an attempt to claim its first region title since 1998, Irwin begins the first leg of a three-game gauntlet to close out the season. Irwin hosts No. 7 Wilcox County (5-2, 3-1) next week and visits Charlton County (4-3, 2-1) for the season finale on Nov. 9. Turner sits precariously at No. 16 in the current Public School Power Rankings.
Pinecrest Academy (4-2, 3-1 in Region 8 ) at Athens Christian (3-4, 2-1). Fresh off of one of the biggest upsets of the season in any classification – 29-10 over George Walton Academy – Pinecrest looks to continue its charge for a playoff spot. The Paladins are three spots out of the post season at No. 19 in the Power Rankings this week. Athens Christian , sitting at No. 13, needs the win to stay in the top 16.
No. 2 Emanuel County Institute (6-1, 2-0 in Region 3-Division B ) at Johnson County (6-1, 2-0). This is another game that will decide a sub region champion. ECI is virtually assured a spot in the public school playoffs with a No. 3 Power Ranking, but Johnson County still has work to do. The Trojans are in spot No. 15.
Marion County (6-1, 4-0 in Region 4) at Brookstone (5-2, 3-1). The Eagles will look to wrap up their third straight Region 4 title in front of the home crowd in Buena Vista. However, a win by Brookstone could forge a three-way tie, with Dooly County, for first in the region.
George Walton Academy (5-2, 2-1 in Region 8 ) at No. 3 Athens Academy (7-0, 4-0). A win by the Spartans would all but assure them their second region championship in the last three seasons, and their seventh in the last 12 years. GWA looks to get back on track after last week's disappointing loss to Pinecrest.
Here are the projected first round playoff games, based on the current Power Rankings:
No. 16 Turner County at No. 1 Lincoln County
No. 15 Johnson County at No. 2 Marion County
No. 14 Clinch County at No. 3 Emanuel County Institute
No. 13 Claxton at No. 4 Wilcox County
No. 12 Commerce at No. 5 Charlton County
No. 11 Greenville at No. 6 Irwin County
No. 10 Gordon Lee at No. 7 Miller County
No. 9 Wilkinson County at No. 8 Dooly County
Observations: Wilkinson is a very dangerous No. 9 seed and so is Miller at No. 7 … Seminole County, a region champion last year is on the outside looking in at this point (No. 17).
No. 16 Our Lady of Mercy at No. 1 Athens Academy
No. 15 Christian Heritage at No. 2 Darlington
No. 14 Brookstone at No. 3 Eagle's Landing Christian Academy
No. 13 Athens Christian at No. 4 Savannah Christian
No. 12 George Walton Academy at No. 5 Prince Avenue Christian
No. 11 Landmark Christian at No. 6 Holy Innocents
No. 10 Walker at No. 7 Aquinas
No. 9 Calvary Day at No. 8 First Presbyterian Day
Observations: It still hasn't happened in the NCAA Basketball Tournament, but could Mercy pull off a No. 16 over No. 1 upset over Athens Academy in Round 1? The Spartans held on for a 10-7 win in Athens back on Sept. 21 … We'll get a preview of the No. 12-No. 5 and No. 11-No. 6 matchups over the next couple of weeks. Landmark hosts Holy Innocents next week (Nov. 2) and GWA hosts Prince Avenue in the regular season finale on Nov. 9 … Christian Heritage, a 26-year old school in Dalton, would make the playoffs in its first season of competition in the Georgia High School Association.
The playoff pairings would remain the same if these projected region champions take care of business:
Region 1, Miller County; Region 2, Wilcox County; Region 3, Emanuel County Institute; Region 4, Marion County; Region 5, Eagle's Landing Christian Academy; Region 6, Darlington; Region 7, Lincoln County; Region 8, Athens Academy.
Just for conversation, here's how the first round would look if the playoffs began this weekend under the old format (top four in each region). In Region 3 we project Emanuel County Institute, Savannah Christian, Calvary Day and Johnson County as the top four. In Region 6 we project Darlington, Walker, Whitefield Academy and Gordon Lee as the top four.
Region 1 vs. Region 4
R1 No. 4 Greenville at R4 No. 1 Marion County
R1 No. 3 Mitchell County at R4 No. 2 Dooly County
R1 No. 2 Seminole County hosts R4 No. 3 Brookstone
R1 No. 1 Miller County hosts R4 No. 4 Greenville
Region 2 vs. Region 3
R2 No. 4 Turner County at R3 No. 1 Emanuel County Institute
R2 No. 3 Irwin County at R3 No. 2 Savannah Christian
R2 No. 2 Charlton County hosts R3 No. 3 Calvary Day
R2 No. 1 Wilcox County hosts R3 No. 4 Johnson County
Region 5 vs. Region 8
R5 No. 4 Our Lady of Mercy at R8 No. 1 Athens Academy
R4 No. 3 Holy Innocents at R8 No. 2 Prince Avenue Christian
R4 No. 2 Landmark Christian School hosts R8 No. 3 Pinecrest Academy
R4 No. 1 Eagle's Landing Christian Academy hosts R8 No. 4 George Walton Academy
Region 6 vs. Region 7
R6 No. 4 Gordon Lee at R7 No. 1 Lincoln County
R6 No. 3 Whitefield Academy at R7 No. 2 Wilkinson County
R6 No. 2 Walker hosts R7 No. 3 Aquinas
R6 No. 1 Darlington hosts R7 No. 4 Georgia Military
Observations: These teams that currently are not in the top 16 of the public or private Power Rankings would make the playoffs under the old format:
Georgia Military
Mitchell County
Pinecrest Academy
Seminole County
Whitefield Academy
The message boards, the blogosphere and the Twitter world have always been filled with discussions and accusations about high school athletes being "recruited" or transferring to another school for sports. And it looks like the Georgia High School Association is getting more serious about paying attention to and punishing those schools and individuals it deems crossed the line.
So bare with me a moment as I give "My Take" on the topic:
I believe that any student should be allowed to attend any public school in Georgia — even if the child lives in another school district zone — as long as that student is in good academic standing, has a clean discipline record and can provide his/her own transportation, and also as long as the school has slots available and is not overcrowded.
We all pay state taxes, a portion of which goes toward the Georgia Department of Education. If your zoned public school is not a good fit for your child, in whatever aspect you feel is important, your child should be able to attend another public school in the state … and yes, even if it is for athletics.
Students who are gifted in non-athletic pursuits – music, the arts, math, science, etc. – are able to attend magnet schools in many instances, and this is a good thing. If a child has a gift, as parents and as a society, we should do all we can to help nurture and develop that gift, which will help that child grow into a highly productive member of society. This is something from which we would all benefit. So if a child has a gift and a passion for a particular sport, why should he or she not be able to attend a school where that gift and passion will be appreciated and developed.
I don't think a child who loves music should be forced to attend a school that has a subpar or non-existent music program. The same goes for a gifted math or science student. He or she should not be shackled to their neighborhood school if that school has underperforming math or science departments run by disinterested or uninspired department chairs. By the same token, a child who loves volleyball should not be forced to attend a school with a poor program and inadequate coaching staff, simply because that child happens to live in that school zone.
As for private schools "recruiting" student athletes, I don't think that should be allowed. However, once a parent inquires about having his/her child attend a private school and makes the first contact, the private school should be able to do everything within its power to convince the parent to have his/her child attend the school. Financial aid should be need-based only.
And that's "My Take."
OK, there's a lot here on which to opine (games of the week, theoretical playoff pairings, transferring and recruiting), so have at it. What say you, Class A heads?
October 25th, 2012
1:29 pm
While I certainly see your point, I disagree with the notion that a student-athlete can live in one county and be "convinced " to attend another school. Smaller communities in rural Georgia suffer tremendously when the star athlete chooses to leave. If you want to move to better your education or give your child better opportunities, then fine. But move to that community. These kids have went up all the way through grade school, so in a way, the school system has a lot invested in these kids before they move off.
At the end of the day, I'm all for student athletes having the best opportunities possible….as long as it is done legally and ethically!
October 25th, 2012
1:50 pm
I don't live near a Class A school, but the public/private school split is fascinating to me. One question I have- is there a restriction in place to prevent teams from the same "region" meeting in the first round of the playoffs? For example, could Savannah Christian play Calvary Baptist in the first round?
October 25th, 2012
2:35 pm
@Rebel Fan: I can appreciate your point. But that doesn't change my point: why should that "star athlete" be forced to attend his/her neighborhood high school, if that high school's program (in whatever sport the "star" participates) is deficient? That isn't the kid's fault, so why punish him/her?
Thanks for reading and posting!

@SilverCreek Dawg: No, there are no restrictions with the Power Rankings. Two teams could have played each other in the final week of the regular season and if their rankings dictate that they face each other again in the first round of the playoffs, so be it.

I can for sure tell you that Fellowship Christian does not recruit. That is probably the main reason our football team has beaten only one team , and it was a public school. And our coach isn't helping either…

First, STC, appreciate the feedback on yesterday's blog and that does clear up a lot of my objections.
Second, I agree with you 100% on a parent/child team taking their educational career seriously and making whatever moves are necessary to get the student into a school that supports their particular talent. I lean towards supporting your position of a student attending the school of their choice no matter where they live, and what you are talking about is a voucher program. However, even disregarding the fact that the NEA would never let that happen, I'm relatively sure that the state government couldn't successfully implement it. I'm not going to name names, but we all know the counties in Metro ATL that a mass exodus would occur in should the students be allowed to move at will. In that respect, Rebel Fan may have a good point in that if a student really wants to attend the school of their choice, find a way to move to that area.
As to the private schools, OR the public schools recruiting (as someone pointed out in another blog, there have been three cases this year of schools caught recruiting as defined by the GHSA….and they're all public), I think the litmus test should be, is the school offering any special considerations or compensation, financial or otherwise, for the student to attend their school. If not, then the transfer should be legitimate.
Those public schools that WOULD have made the playoffs and missed because of this galactically flawed PR system in place now….. my counsel is to be careful what you wish for because you just may get it. However, that said, maybe, just maybe, the PR system will pay off in the playoffs. In prior years, some of the scores in the first three rounds have been so uneven as to question the viability of the losing teams even being there. If we get a lot of good, close games this year, we may have to admit that the PR system has SOME validity.
And finally, just to pull the opinion Hat Trick, I have to make this observation. If for no other reason, I do not support the split system for simply this….at the end of this season there will be no clear, distinct Class A champion. The respect that each of the private and public champions expect will be, at best, watered down and, at worst, non-existent and the question will always loom "who is the best single A team in GA?" And that's my 1/5th of a dime.
October 26th, 2012
7:56 am
I think what is getting lost in the argument is that Sports are "extra curricular activities" School is designed for education not sports. Magnet Programs are designed to assist exceptional students and there is legitimate testing involved to insure that students meet the requirments. One of the problems of our society is the total focus on sports above education. So are you suggesting some type of AYP for sports programs as well? With the focus on rankings what is Georgia's rank in education?
October 26th, 2012
8:51 am
Mr. Coleman….you are right on about recuriting at the public schools. I belive Whitefield's basketball program is a prime example of recruiting key players. It would be difficult to beleive that their success was just by coaching. You can't coach being tall.
October 26th, 2012
9:47 am
@fan: I guess you are accusing Whitefield Academy of recruiting? Don't do that without proof.
Thanks for reading and posting!

This is nothing new. In the late 40's a boy from another county was allowed to attend our county's class A school because he wanted to play football and his school, also a class A school, didn't play football. It posed no problems.
October 26th, 2012
11:30 pm
Interesting point about Whitefield basketball's team, Elca's football team. You always like to say be careful to all that question recruiting or paying for kids to come to schools and play and I understand and agree, so to put it to rest why doesn't the ajc with all their tremendous resources and insightful journalism do some serious investigating and not leave it up to GHSA to find the truth?

"TRANSERING &RECRUITING" ….. STC, very well said !!
I am thankful …. and make great sacrifices for my kids to attend a Private school. Both of my kids are good athletes, both are smart, and both will be better for the sacrifices "I" have made for them attending the academy they attend.

Pregnancy is a time filled with excitement and nervous anticipation. As your body prepares for extreme changes, you may find your thoughts and emotions swirling about in a disjointed and chaotic frenzy. You struggle to find the time and energy to organize the nursery, attend doctor appointments, pay your bills, prepare coworkers for your impending maternity leave, and somehow spend time with your partner and/or family.
Somewhere within your hectic schedule, you ache for just a few quiet moments. And this is only the beginning; following childbirth, your new life will be filled with the joy of your new baby—and an even crazier schedule. Yoga is a wonderful way to treat yourself while preparing both your body and mind not just for your birth experience—but for life with your baby.
Practicing yoga during pregnancy, even if you have never done yoga, is highly beneficial for both you and your growing baby. Many yoga postures focus on the pelvic floor and reproductive organs, aid in controlling breath and concentration, provide psycho-physiological stimulation through movement of the body, establish a meditative state beneficial for lessening anxiety, and promote deep mind and body relaxation. As pioneering prenatal yoga teacher Carmela Cattuti says, "Yoga postures become more than movements that stretch and strengthen the body; they become an anchor for labor."
Remember to Breathe
Before beginning a yoga routine, it is best to learn how to breathe properly. "The body awareness yoga brings is a huge plus in the birthing process," says Sarah Perron, co-author and co-founder of Baby Om. "And breath has a lot to do with it."
Pranayama, or yogic breathing, circulates oxygen throughout your bloodstream, bringing nutrients to you and your baby. "Pranayama helps to slow down the breath [and] heart rate and relax the nervous system. With continual practice, these techniques can be brought into labor to aid the process," adds Betsy Kase, owner and director of Yoga Haven in Tuckahoe, New York.

Big layoffs ahead at Myspace?
The social-networking site is reportedly considering a significant restructuring.
The has-been social-networking site is mulling significant layoffs, perhaps as much as half of its 1,100 employees, AllThingsD reports. The entire staff was off the last week of December to save money.
Myspace, a division of News Corp. (NWS), is likely seeing less money flow in now after it struck a new ad deal with Google (GOOG). Myspace previously had a hefty $900 million contract with Google, but it expired last fall.
The two companies negotiated a new partnership, but the money was nothing like that of the previous arrangement, AllThingsD reports. Post continues after video:
"The first deal got done when Myspace was white-hot, and Google was competing fiercely with Microsoft to lock up prime real estate," Peter Kafka writes. "Now, of course, Myspace is well into a protracted decline."
The specter of layoffs comes as Myspace is trying to reinvent itself to reach Generation Y. Myspace has given up trying to compete with Facebook and Twitter and now wants to be a niche site focused on entertainment.

TORONTO – In each of the past two offseasons Cody Franson and the Maple Leafs disagreed on the worth of the now 26-year-old defender. Contract disputes lingered for days, weeks and months in the winter of 2012 and once more in summer of 2013 before the two sides finally compromised on an unhappy middle with a pair of one-year contracts.
Franson, not surprisingly, feels he has something to prove in his third season in Toronto.
"Definitely," he said in conversation with the Leaf Report on Tuesday afternoon. "That's the way my dad raised me was 'live by proving people wrong', have that motivation and drive to make people that say you're not eat their words."
Franson believed that he'd established himself as a viable top-4 defender last season, when he broke out with 29 points in 45 games, but Dave Nonis and the Leafs management group wanted to see more. They weren't sure what the Sicamous, B.C. native was (the half-season sample size undoubtedly a factor) and balked at committing the sizeable term and dollars he desired in free agency (hence the one-year deal worth $2 million).
Soon to be a restricted agent once more in the summer of 2014, Franson is out to prove that he's worthy of such an investment. Entrenched with the significant role and responsibility he always wanted upon landing with the Leafs via trade from Nashville, Franson is only half-satisfied with the season he's had to date.
"It's going okay, but I can do more," said Franson, who will assume top pairing duty in the absence of suspended captain Dion Phaneuf. "I feel like I can do more. I feel I can help produce more. I can be a bigger part in our group turning things around."
The Leafs have stumbled into December, struggling to generate offence and adequately defend amid a stretch which has seen them win just twice in regulation in 17 games. Now without their captain and leading minute-eater for the next two games – against top teams from Los Angeles and St. Louis no less – they'll need others, Franson most prominently, to step up their game.
"The challenges are bountiful as we go forward into the season," said Randy Carlyle of a year that's seen an increasing number of injuries and suspensions, "but somebody else now gets an opportunity to fill those minutes."
Be it offensively or defensively, Franson feels his game could stand to rise on a number of different fronts.
The scoring leader of the Toronto defence once again this season – he has 14 points – Franson is nonetheless concerned by his inability to find the back of the net. He had four goals on 70 shots in 2013, but has yet score on any of the 40 attempts he's fired so far this year. Directing more pucks on net, thus creating not only goals but rebound opportunities for teammates, will aid in the team's struggling offensive attack – the Leafs have just 23 even-strength goals during this lasting 17-game run.
"Obviously not having scored a goal is in my head," he said, noting a desire to increase his overall offensive production. "It's been a tough year to try and get shots through to the net and really help our forwards in that sense. That's bothering me a bit."
Amongst the best at his position in producing offence at even-strength last season – he had 16 points, tied for 12th most among NHL defenders – Franson has just three such points this season, the majority of his production coming on one of the league's top power-plays.
Because the Leafs have struggled to move the puck effectively for the better part of the opening two-plus months they've been ineffective with a forecheck from which they'd like to initiate offence. One of their better puck-movers, Franson can help in that regard with some measure of improvement.
"I haven't got enough of those this year," said Franson of even-strength points, 11 of his 14 assists coming with the man advantage. "That's something I've been trying to focus on in getting better at and try to help our team win."
Already second in ice-time among Leaf defenders – 21 minutes per game –Franson is poised to peg, if not more minutes, than more difficult minutes with Phaneuf suspended for tough tests against the Kings and Blues.
He was paired with Carl Gunnarsson on the top pairing of Tuesday's practice.
Though he's made strides in the right direction in Toronto, Franson remains a work in progress in the defensive zone. Part of that growth lies in his assertiveness and physicality. The 6-foot-5 defender has always been prodded to employ the requisite physical game his size is said to demand. Under the direction of Carlyle he has improved considerably.
Franson actually leads all NHL defenders with 98 hits (entering Tuesday's action), quite a shift for a player who had 55 in his first 61 NHL games with Nashville.
"I've gotten better," said Franson, "but there's always room for improvement. I've watched the video clips of myself after a lot of games and I see spots where I know I could've at least bumped a guy there or a guy takes a shot and I was more worried about the rebound than finishing [him] into the wall. Just some things that I need to get back into the habit of doing and it'll help me."
Habit has also been forced to change with a steady mix of defensive partners. Unlike last season, when he played with Mark Fraser almost exclusively, Franson has shifted from partner to partner amid the team's struggles on the back-end.
Gunnarsson will be the fifth partner he's been paired with already this season. The adjustment is as subtle as thinking versus reacting instinctually.
"[I]t makes you think a little more and sometimes I'm thinking too much and it's making me read things a little slower than I should be and in turn making me not quite as aggressive as I'd like to be," said Franson. "I've got to get that down a little quicker and it'll help."
Such improvements will go a long ways toward proving the "naysayers" wrong while helping the Leafs turn a much-needed corner.

Can you really blame Mercedes for jumping aboard the Sex and the City bandwagon given that the whole premise of the series involves four middle-aged women and their insatiable desires for shopping, socializing, and of course, scoring hot guys? Hey, if the show has been a resounding success, why not, right?
The sequel to the highly successful first movie - by successful, we're talking to all those women who dragged their significant others into the cinema - is upon us and Mercedes Benz, as well as it's brother, Maybach , are both firmly entrenched in the story. So if you're a man that's been dragged to this movie, you've found your saving grace in the form of all the Merc's you can find in the movie. At least it won't be a complete waste, yes?
