Review: 2007 Suzuki XL7
By Ann Job of MSN Autos
Japan's Suzuki used to be known for small vehicles. Today, it has its largest passenger vehicle ever in its U.S. showrooms.
The newly revamped Suzuki XL7 debuted for 2007 as a bigger, 5- and 7-passenger, crossover sport-utility vehicle that's longer, wider and heavier than its predecessor.
The XL7 is restyled, inside and out, has a more powerful V6 than before and drops the hyphen from its previous, XL-7 name.
I don't know about the styling. The test XL7, in white, didn't appeal much to me, and my eyes kept being drawn to gaps between body panels that seemed larger than on some other vehicles. These gaps didn't convey a sense of quality.
Be prepared for the price
The 2007 pricing also meant the new XL7 relinquished its ranking as the lowest-priced, 7-passenger SUV in America. Starting retail price for a 7-passenger XL7 now is more than $24,000 for a two-wheel-drive model.
A Hyundai Santa Fe with 7 seats, two-wheel drive, V6 and automatic transmission starts lower at less than $24,000 and now is the lowest-priced 7-seater in the U.S.
Meantime, an XL7 with all-wheel drive starts at more than $23,000 with seating for five.
And, if you can believe, the test XL7, with options and all-wheel drive, topped out at more than $32,000!
Much bigger XL7
The XL7 actually is based on the same platform as Chevrolet's Equinox and the Pontiac Torrent crossover SUVs and is built at the same Ontario, Canada, assembly plant as the Equinox and Torrent.
You see, Suzuki Motor Corp. and General Motors Corp., which owns the Chevrolet and Pontiac brands, have worked together for years on vehicles and components.
This might be the biggest—pardon the pun—project yet.
In fact, the XL7 is 8.4 inches longer, a tad wider and nearly 2 inches taller, overall, than GM's Equinox and Torrent.
It's the only one of the three to offer three rows of seats and is heavier and has a noticeably more powerful engine.
Specifically, the powerplant in the XL7 has a 3.6-liter displacement, instead of 3.4 liters in the GM SUVs, and it's tuned to deliver 252 horses and 243 lb-ft of torque at 2300 rpm.
This compares with 185 horses and 210 lb-ft of torque at a higher, 3800 rpm in the Equinox and Torrent versions.
It also bests the Santa Fe's base, 185-horsepower 2.7-liter V6 with 183 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm and uplevel, 242-horsepower 3.3-liter V6 with 226 lb-ft of torque at 4500 rpm.
As the numbers indicate, the new XL7 doesn't lack power. The tester cruised highways easily and passed other vehicles without fuss.
Power came on smoothly and impressively via the 5-speed automatic transmission.
Still, I noticed the heft of this vehicle, which, in the top-of-the-line tester with all-wheel drive and seven seats topped 4,040 pounds. Gosh, this is as much as Cadillac's largest car, the DTS, weighs, and I found myself wrestling with the idea that a Suzuki could be this large and heavy.
This, plus the ending price of the tester, seemed counter to Suzuki's reputation as a low-priced, small-vehicle manufacturer.
Odds and ends
This SUV's considerable weight, plus a softly sprung suspension and some notable body motion in curves and turns encourages moderate, mainstream driving in the XL7. There's no real sporty feel here.
And watch when making U-turns. The XL7 has a sizable, 41.8-foot turning circle, which compares with 35.8 feet in the Santa Fe.
The quieter XL7 ride, though, is a definite improvement over its truck-based predecessor. Indeed, this is the first time Suzuki's 7-passenger SUV has monocoque body construction, like that of cars. It characterizes many crossover SUVs and contributes to a more car-like ride.
Still, with a healthy 7.9 inches of ground clearance underneath, the XL7 can travel over—and above—some obstacles.
All seats, including those in third row, are roomier than I expected. In fact, I found—at 5 feet 4—that the third row doesn't need to be relegated to kids-only status.
Second- and third-row seats split and fold down flat to allow for a maximum and surprisingly roomy 95.2 cubic feet of cargo space. The XL7 can tow up to 3,500 pounds.
But at highway speeds, riders front and rear noticed wind noise in the test XL7, and the plastic dashboard seemed overly expansive.
There were a lot of amenities in the test XL7, including leather-trimmed, heated front seats, a 7-speaker audio system and chrome, 17-inch wheels.
Traction and stability control are standard, as is anti-lock brakes and curtain airbags.

Scott Skiles and the exhausting nightly battle for perfection
Category: Coaching
It happened in the middle of the night while most people were asleep, but it may as well have happened after the Milwaukee Bucks last home game of a disappointing, lockout shortened 2011-12 season.
In his final post game conference he handled questions the same way he always did. Until the last question. A reporter asked if he liked what he saw from his younger players in terms of their professionalism and attitudes.
Skiles stared straight ahead for several seconds before finally replying with a mumbled, "I don't know."
He was out of answers for last season. And really, I thought that was it. Skiles has never been a particularly emotive guy when interacting with the media, but something really came through in that exchange. He couldn't even offer up the words to give the cliched response we're all so accustomed to hearing in those situations. He looked so drained, so ready to move on.
How do you come back from that?
Well, you have a contract that you can't get out of, I guess that's how. Skiles had one year left on his deal and he and the Bucks couldn't come to an agreement on his exit. Rumors flew about his desire to leave, but when he was back at the start of this season those rumors looked like nothing more than that.
Until Monday. Again, we heard that Skiles was ready to move on, prepared to finish this season and depart from a situation he apparently felt like he couldn't do anything else with. But still, it sounded like he would finish out the season at least. The Bucks, as bad as they've been over their past four games, are probably a playoff team, even if they're the eighth seed.
But if they're a playoff team, they'll have to be one under Jim Boylan. Word leaked in the middle of the night that a mutual agreement had been come to between Skiles and the organization that he would no longer coach the team. The suddenness of it all took most of us by surprise, but is this really that shocking?
Less than a month ago, I asked Skiles if he could do anything other than hope his best players would start making shots when they were having a bad game. He asked if I had any suggestions and then simply said no. Does that sound like a team you'd want to coach? Or a coach that seems like he's going to be able to get something more out of his two best players?
To say the least, a duo of Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis probably wasn't what Skiles envisioned as the core of his team five years from when he took the job as Milwaukee's coach in 2008. And I don't say that specifically because of the style or size of the two guards, I say it because of the talent. Five years on the job and Skiles was still guiding a team without a star to follow.
That's a harrowing task for any coach. It's an especially harrowing task for one as competitive and intense as Scott Skiles. Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted that a friend of Skiles in the coaching fraternity said he, "hated his team."
When I think back to that distant stare at the end of last season, it isn't too hard for me to believe that.
Honestly, Skiles is nobody's fool. He knows what it takes to win in this league. He's aware its run by stars. He knows a team needs more than one, at least two, but probbaly three. He's spoke openly about that and the challenges that not having those pieces bring to a team. You have to be that much sharper every night, that much more ready to play. There's very little room for error without stars, as the Bucks have seen in losses to so many lesser opponents this season.
But the Bucks are in a tough spot when it comes to stars. Maybe they could swing a move for a B-Lister like Rudy Gay, the way they did for Ellis last season. Maybe they could get lucky with a discounted malcontent like the Grizzlies did so long ago. They could keep fighting for a playoff position as the organization does its best to tinker with the roster, hoping to recreate that magic of 2009.
Or they could blow it all up and hope in a few years they'll be flush with young talent and a superstar.
They've traveled both roads in the past and encountered enough failures to turn an optimistic child into the hopeless critic that writes this today. There is no easy answer, no sure thing for this franchise.
For Scott Skiles, it must have become too hard to have to be perfect every night. Skiles could do little but laugh after Milwaukee was pasted against the Houston Rockets last Friday. Maybe he was just out of answers again.
For good this time.
About the Author (Author Profile)Jeremy Schmidt writes the Milwaukee Bucks blog Bucksketball. He founded it in January of 2009 because he hated his job. It's like basketball, but with Bucks instead of basket. I know ... I'm sorry. He might come off as a bit negative, but I'm really not so bad. He just wants the Bucks to succeed, so he points out areas where they are coming up short. Someone has got to do it and he's ornery and opinionated enough to take on that task.

It really sucks Skiles is leaving because he is a good coach, and it sucks even more that the reason he chose to leave is probably because the front-office is unwilling to make major changes to the roster.
The Bucks aren't selling tickets anyhow, so why wouldn't management want to take a chance on rebuilding? I just don't get it.
I blame Carlos Delfino giving the Bucks bench the stink eye after he sunk his 6th 3 pt shot from that corner. It was more than Skiles could handle.
Somebody noticed.
I liked funny-looking Delfino. Delfino is now doing some leadership things in Houston very well.
Remember Delfino's expression upon, I think hearing from Skiles who couldn't see that his shot went in.
I assume Skiles misses some Delfino too.

Before I went to Christina's restaurant on Orcas Island in Washington's San Juans, more than one person told me to order something that would be served with ketchup because chef/owner Christina Orchid made her own and it was life changing. When I got there, I ignored the instruction and simply requested a taste on the side because the food I wanted to eat wasn't ketchup food. It was indeed the best thing called ketchup I had ever tasted--tangy, spicy, wonderful--with only one other rival in my experience, that which came with some bison ribs ordered at the Rain City Grill in Vancouver. Both were the kind of thing that would build a french fry craving in the worst way.
Anyway, the current thread on ketchup nudged me to googled around, and I found that Google books has her recipe book (the restaurant has since been sold) on line, and it includes the ketchup recipe. Thought I'd post, as I would be interested in making this myself some time.
It's this, and quite simple (obviously, can easily be halved):
2 cans tomato paste (16 ounces each)
2 c water
1 3/4 c aged red wine vinegar
1 Tblsp dry mustard
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cumin
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/8 tsp ground mace
1 3/4 c brown sugar
Put the dry stuff in a pot with the tomato paste; whisk to remove any clumps. Add the liquids slowly, still whisking. Bring up to heat and simmer away on medium for about 20 minutes or until the flavors taste married. Allow to cool, pour into jars and refrigerate or use conventional canning methods for pantry storage.

Your Brilliant Baby in Week 25: Crawling & Judging Depth Perception
What your infant learns this week
Baby's Brain in Week 25
It won't be too long before your wiggly baby begins crawling. Crawling is tough stuff for the infant brain: It requires a child to move his left hand and arm forward while moving his right leg and foot forward in a cross-body, synchronized motion. Then Baby must alternate with the right hand and arm and the left leg and foot. (Check it out, here.) Whew!
Before this traditional form of crawling occurs, many babies drag or roll themselves across the floor, all which leads to concerns for the child's safety. Will she fall down the stairs? Off the edge of the sofa?
What the Research Shows
In a controlled environment, researchers set babies on a glass surface. Just below the surface was a checkered tablecloth which, halfway across the length of the glass, appeared to drop off to about three feet.
If the babies crawled to the edge of the cloth but then stopped at the fake drop-off, it would prove that they had acquired depth perception, the ability to view the world in 3-D—and those babies would have realized the dangers of falling off the "cliff" ahead. If they hadn't acquired depth perception, they would continue to crawl across the glass table, ignoring the appearance of the cliff below.
Typically, on the first few trips across, all infants crawled across the cliff without hesitation. On subsequent trials—even though nothing unpleasant had happened or any variable of the setup had changed—the infants became increasingly reluctant to cross over the visual cliff. We now seem to know that as babies gain experience in crawling, they acquire a wariness of heights. Babies in the research studies eventually learned to stop at the "visual cliff," even when their parents were on the other side of the glass table coaxing them across. ("No way, Mom!")
Remember, much of development is about survival; therefore, as babies begin to crawl, their minds gradually equip them with the ability to notice and fear various edges—whether a stair step inside the home or a ditch outside—that they might encounter in their environment.

Finally! After weeks of speculation of will-she-or-won't-she nail-biting anticipation, Beyonce has officially given birth to a baby girl. Husband Jay-Z spared no expense in keeping security detail tight Saturday while his wife was in labor at Lenox Hill Hospital, and by the end of the weekend New York had its first Mecca baby:
Ivy BlueBlue Ivy Carter!
And while we totally love the title, you know there are plenty of adorable infant nicknames you can give your special bundle of joy before they're old enough to be scarred by having been called "Poopy Diapers." Our present to the happy new parents are a couple of suggestions we came up with ourselves. Beyonce, Jay, feel free to call Ivy any of the following, and instruct the help to do likewise.
(Additional baby-naming input provided by Joe Mande.)

These two moguls of moronic music for the masses have receive incredibly inappropriate privileges at Lenox Hill Hospital. The hospital will regret its groveling at the feet of their celebrity clients, at the expense and comfort of the families of other patients. I expect that members of the administrative staff will be relieved of their duties, and a few lawyers will be sicking? it to the hospital for damages.

Budget talks face major hurdles on spending side
As fiscal cliff negotiators inch closer to compromise on proposed tax increases to close the federal budget deficit, work now turns to efforts to reach agreements on spending cuts.
In many ways, lawmakers have left the toughest part of their talks until last.
By mid-week, Congressional Republicans and the White House continued to whittle down their differences over how much to raise taxes. Unless revised, the current budget law would impose more than a half-trillion of takes hike and spending cuts on Jan. 1, an amount widely believed to spell big trouble for the feeble U.S. economic recovery.
The initial gap in the tax proposals – the White House's call for $1.6 trillion in new money and the $800 billion counteroffer from House Republicans – had narrowed Tuesday to about $200 billion, prompting optimism that a deal could be reached.
But there appeared to be little progress in negotiating a compromise to the spending side of the ledger, which remains burdened by massive funding gaps in both the Social Security and Medicare entitlement programs.
"We are not close to a deal," Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn.,told CNBC Tuesday. "I've been trying for three weeks — standing on my head, doing cartwheels — to try to pivot to entitlement reform. This is not a deal here."
It's not hard to see why the spending side of the talks is proving so difficult.
One big reason: Congress has already enacted deep cuts in the growth of so-called discretionary spending, the money authorized every year to fund domestic programs, governments agencies and defense spending.
With the Budget Control Act of 2011 last year, both parties in Congress and the president agreed to tight spending caps that reduce discretionary spending by $1 trillion over 10 years. Those caps are expected to shrink federal spending from 8.7 percent of gross domestic product in 2011 to 5.0 percent in 2022, according to the Office of Management and Budget.
"Essentially we've already implemented some quite big cuts, " said Jim Horney, a budget analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. "In many areas, we're going to have to cut pretty far below inflation just to comply with the caps."
But it remains to be seen whether Congress sticks with the budget control plan over the next decade and generates the projected savings needed to rein in the deficit. Some budget analysts note that Congress has broken similar budget promises in the past.
"Even though the law's in place right now to cap spending at a modest growth rate in the future, that all depends on whether those caps really hold," said Patrick Louis Knudsen, a budget analyst at the Heritage Foundation. "We've had spending caps in the past but they've blown right through them."
The bigger problem is that discretionary spend makes up only about third of what Uncle Sam spends every year. That makes it harder to shrink the overall deficit by cutting only the slowest-growing slice of the pie.
"You're basically cutting bone, and you're not getting much for it," said Georgetown University professor Gary Bass, a founder of budget watchdog OMB Watch. "The big-ticket items are the entitlements. But that isn't where Congress tends to make their cuts."
That may be about to change. In return for raising taxes, congressional Republicans have made clear they won't go along with any deal that doesn't include major changes in Social Security and Medicare.
While those programs offer the biggest potential for savings, they also present negotiators with the thorniest political choices. For decades, no politician has dared propose raising the costs to taxpayers or cutting their benefits.
Of the two, Social Security offers some relatively simple – if politically painful – fixes. One involves slowing the growth of benefits to better reflect the real increase in the annual cost of living. Some critics argue that the program's adjustment formula is too generous and contributes to the funding gap.
A beneficiary born in the 1940s, for example, will have paid in an average of about $195,000 (in current dollars) and can expect to collect an average of $175,000, according to CBO estimates. But, unless the formula is changed, the ratio of payments to benefits will gradually shift for younger retirees in the coming decades. By the time those born in the 1980s retire, they will have paid in $260,000 in current dollars – but will collect $285,000, according to CBO estimates.
Worse, the system relies on a slower growing working-age population to fund the rapidly expanding pool of baby boom retirees. Today, there are nearly five workers supporting every retiree collecting benefits. By 2030, that ratio shrinks to just three workers supporting each beneficiary.
One proposed solution is to slow the growth of benefits. By applying a so-called "chained" consumer price index (which takes into account consumer-buying patterns as prices of specific goods rise or fall), some analysts believe the long-term financial health of the system can be brought back into balance.
"You're still adjusting Social Security to accommodate to the rise in the cost of living, but you're accommodating it in a more accurate way," said Knudsen. "The existing CPI tends to overstate it."
Opponents of the move argue that the chained index doesn't accurately reflect the typical shopping basket of elderly consumers, who pay a disproportionate share of their income on health care, which is rising in cost more rapidly that overall inflation.
Another major fix could come from raising the cap on income subject to the payroll taxes that fund the program. Under current law, income over $110,000 isn't subject to that tax; raising the cap to $170,000 would bring in another $450 billion over 10 years, according to CBO estimates.
That change alone could close the bulk of the retirement program's shortfall, said Bass.
Solutions will be much harder to come by for the funding gaps overtaking Medicare, which pays for health care for seniors, and Medicaid, which covers low-income households. That's because Congress has little control over the rapid increases in the cost of delivering health care, no matter how it's funded.
One very simple proposal would be to raise the age at which Medicare coverage kicks in. Though simple, the idea is deeply unpopular with a wide swath of older, politically influential voters.
"It's just a code for cutting benefits," said Bass. "However you do the math, it's a cut to the beneficiaries."
The change also wouldn't generate nearly enough in savings to offset the harsh political backlash it would produce. Raising the eligibility age by just two years, to 67, would only save $125 billion over 10 years, according to the CBO. That's about 2 percent of the $7 trillion, 10-year overall budget deficit lawmakers are trying to close.
Another proposal: raise Medicare premiums. Since the program was launched in 1966, the share paid by beneficiaries' premiums has fallen from half of the cost of coverage to a quarter. But raising that to 35 percent of the cost would raise just $240 billion over 10 years, according to CBO.
Other budget-balancing moves include applying a "means test" to Medicare benefits – cutting the amount of coverage for wealthier seniors who can afford to buy their own private insurance.
"Raising premiums simply feeds a larger government," said Knudsen. "By reducing subsidies, you're actually restraining the growth of government, which is what we favor."
But, like Social Security, politically powerful lobbies behind seniors covered by Medicare, including AARP, strongly oppose any benefit cuts.
The ultimate solution, say budget analysts, is to slow the overall growth of health care spending, one of the primary goals of Obamacare. But it remains to be seen whether the estimated savings from that health-reform law will materialize. Even then, the savings from that program, by themselves, are too small to make a serious dent in the overall deficit.
Until they are, the unchecked growth of health care costs will remain the biggest – and thorniest – problem involved in taming federal spending, say budget analysts.

Catching On
19th Century star Deacon White a Pre-Integration Committee finalist at Hall of Fame
By Craig Muder
November 30, 2012
Deacon White stopped playing big league before the dawn of the 20th Century. But his accomplishments still shine brightly enough to merit consideration at the Hall of Fame.
White, a catcher and third baseman who played from 1871-1890, is one of 10 finalists on this year's Pre-Integration Committee ballot at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. The Pre-Integration Committee will vote on Dec. 2 at baseball's Winter Meetings in Nashville, Tenn., and the results of the vote will be announced Dec. 3.
The 10 candidates on the Pre-Integration Committee ballot are: Sam Breadon, Bill Dahlen, Wes Ferrell, Marty Marion, Tony Mullane, Hank O'Day, Alfred Reach, Jacob Ruppert, Bucky Walters and White. Any candidate who receives at least 75 percent of all ballots cast will be enshrined in the Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2013.
Born Dec. 7, 1847, White played for Forest City of Cleveland (1868-1872), the Red Stockings of Boston (1873-1875, 1877), Chicago White Stockings (1876), Cincinnati Red Stockings (1878-1880), Buffalo Bisons (1881-1885, 1890), Detroit Wolverines (1886-1888) and Pittsburgh Pirates (1889).
At one time in White's professional career, he played all nine positions on the field, including two appearances pitching. He primarily played third base and catcher and is considered one of the best barehanded catchers of his time.
White was a standout catcher in a catcher-important era. Catchers did not use any equipment and were positioned much farther back from the pitcher than in modern baseball. Just catching the ball was considered an advantage, but White could catch and throw runners out.
White was 42 during his last season and had been the oldest player in the league for his last four seasons. He was also the first ever player to win a most valuable player award and earned the honor in 1875 when his Red Stockings went 71-8.
At the end of his career, White had a career batting average of .312, 2,067 hits and 988 RBIs.
White passed away on July 9, 1939.

Fire Departments from around the region are coming together with a mine in Beulah to train with ropes this afternoon.
The Bismarck, Minot, and Grand Forks Fire Departments as well as the Dakota Westmoreland Mine are learning how to conduct rope rescues from the Safety Services Company out of Texas.
They've been working on all of the basics like properly putting on a harness and connecting ropes to anchors.
Today they are also using each other as dummies and descending from high places or into confined areas.
"There's not a whole lot of people that have these expertise. It's one of those things that's very, very training rich. You have to train a lot, train a lot, train a lot and fortunately you don't have to do it very often but when the time does come to use it, you better be really good at it," Owner of Safety Services Dave Medick said.
The group is taking their training up a notch tomorrow.
They will have mock scenarios and victims they need to rescue.

OriginOil, a company out of Los Angeles, has just filed a patent for some technology it says will put its own spin on turning algae into oil.
Quantum Fracturing, as OriginOil calls it, works at the microscopic level for its algae oil cultivation. Nutrients are "fractured" and put into growing microalgae during the growth stage to get maximum benefits without impacting the just try! canadian drugs cialis algae cells. When extraction time comes more fracturing is done to create an "ultrasound effect" which breaks the outer layer of www.spotfodo.com the algae in an energy-efficient manner, allowing for quicker harvesting of oils.
What this means for oil producers, according to OriginOil, is a "cost effective, high speed manufacturing process" which produces a new source of renewable oil. If this company can truly deliver a product which producers embrace, we could be looking at a much greener (and also slimier) future.

cross bike tires
By Marc
from Waverly Ohio
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Continental Ultra Gatorskin Wire Bead Road Tire:
I rode a racing bike for years, but am getting older now, so I went for a crossbike. The 700/32 Kendas that came on the bike were awful, not even round. I switched to 700/28 Gatorskins and am very pleased. It has a much better ride and are easy to mount.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great desert road tires
By Bob

Everything in the desert has a sharp point. I've gone 2000 miles without a flat.
Great tires!
By TripleD
from Pittsburgh PA
I bought these to replace the Gatorskins on my road bike. The old ones had about 3000 miles on them, flatting just one time. I consider this excellent durability as I regularly pedal some very rough roads.

About Me Commuter
over all its a great tire, I got 2800 miles onit. After 2 years the side walls started comingapart, I go down some steep hills, so I replacedboth tires, with the same tires. Using regulartires I was getting a flat about every 2 weeks.
Best tire but not perfect
By Dennis
from Coon Rapids, Mn.
About Me Avid Cyclist
I bike 16 to 18k miles per year so I don't want to spend a fortune on tires I get up to 5k on rear and sometimes 12k on the front.No tire will keep out glass and metal, kevlar or not, these tires are tough, to withstand the roads in deep south Texas they have to, probably the worst roads in the U.S.Roads are if ever swept. I don't have a problem with changing although putting back on can be tough,just let out all the air.I would recommend these to anyone, the only problem is price, it keeps going up like everything.

One of the best all around tires available.
worth the money
By RogerR
from Near Peoria, Il
I bought a second tire to get puncture and blowout protection as my previous tires both blew out and had puctures even though they were kevlar belted. Max pressure is only 85 which means more rolling resistance than my old 105s but tired of sitting on the side of the road waiting for a ride or fixing flats. I ride in central Illinois with rough roads, plenty of glass and junk on the road. Lots of little but steep climbs.

average tire
By David
from Fort Worth, Texas
I tend to see more sidewall problems with this tire than any other. The threads seem to come loose and tangle in the hubs and break calipers. They are great at resisting punctures but I'm tired of the sidewall issues. Time to move on.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

VANCOUVER -- The list of Toronto Maple Leaf injuries grew Saturday when centre Dave Bolland was taken to hospital for surgery after suffering a cut on his left leg.
On Monday, the team announced Bolland had undergone successful surgery in Vancouver "to repair a a severed tendon on the outside of his left ankle." and will be out indefinitely.
Bolland was hurt early in the second period of Toronto's 4-0 loss to the Vancouver Canucks when he was taken into the boards by Zack Kassian.
Kassian's skate appeared to hit the back of Bolland's leg. The 27-year-old from Mimico, Ont., instantly crumpled to the ice. He was attempting to get back on his feet when Kassian scored the game's second goal. Bolland had to be helped to the bench by teammates.
After the game, Toronto coach Randy Carlyle could offer few details but compared Bolland's injury to the one suffered last year by Erik Karlsson of the Ottawa Senators. Karlsson missed 10 weeks when his Achilles tendon was partially sliced while being checked into the boards by Matt Cooke of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
"He suffered a cut similar to the Karlsson injury," said Carlyle. "I don't know the severity or which tendon, but he did suffer a cut into that area."
Moments after Carlyle spoke to reporters Bolland hobbled out of the Toronto dressing room on crutches. He was loaded onto a stretcher to be taken to hospital.
"I haven't really saw it," Carlyle said of the play. "I know Kassian went into finish his check. I can't comment other than that."
Kassian said it was a clean hit.
"I haven't seen it again, or really looked," he said. "I just went in to finish my hit. I am not sure what even happened to him.
"I went in there hard to finish my hit, I don't know what happened but it was a clean hit. I know it was clean so no talking about that."
The Leafs are already without top centre Tyler Bozak and defenceman Mark Fraser. Goaltender James Reimer said Bolland's injury will hurt the team.
"Losing a guy like that, he's been real solid for us, probably one of our best players for the last couple of games," said Reimer, who faced 47 shots in the loss. "It's real tough to lose him but having said that, as a team we have to find a way to rally around him and play well for him and try to win one for him."
Bolland came to the Leafs this year in a trade from Chicago. In 15 games he has six goals and four assists.

Lupita Nyong'o by Mikael Jansson for Vogue
On her thought process when she won the Academy Award:
When her name was read out, the experience was, as she recalls, "very confusing, very numbing. I was just repeating my name in my head, so I didn't know whether I had said my name or they had said my name! And then my little brother screamed, and time was suspended and it was just noise in my head."
As Lupita gathered those voluminous silk georgette pleats of her custom Prada skirts, she remembers that all she could think was "Don't fall on those stairs" because, as she drolly explains, "it's not cute if you follow Jennifer Lawrence—it's not cute if you're the second one!"
"People are still filling me in on what happened after," she adds. "My mother says I cried during the speech; I don't believe her."

Simply stated, the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) are the two joints that connect your jaw to your skull. More specifically, they are the joints that slide and rotate in front of each ear, and consist of the mandible (the lower jaw) and the temporal bone (the side and base of the skull). According to the American Dental Association, the TMJs are among the most complex joints in the body. These joints, along with several muscles, allow the mandible to move up and down, side to side, and forward and back. When the mandible and the joints are properly aligned, smooth muscle actions, such as chewing, talking, yawning, and swallowing, can take place. When these structures (muscles, ligaments, jaw bone, mandible, TMJ) are not aligned, nor synchronized in movement, several problems may occur.
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are disorders of the jaw muscles, temporomandibular joints, and/or the nerves associated with chronic facial pain. Any problem that prevents the complex system of muscles, bones, and joints from working together in harmony may result in temporomandibular disorder.
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, part of the National Institutes of Health, classifies the categories of TMD by the following criteria:
Myofascial pain. This is the most common form of TMD, which is discomfort or pain in the muscles that control jaw function and the neck and shoulder muscles.
Internal derangement of the joint. This means a dislocated jaw or displaced disk, or injury to the condyle (the rounded edges of the jaw).
Degenerative joint disease, such as osteoporosis or rheumatoid arthritis in the jaw joint.
A person can have one or more of these conditions at the same time.
In many cases, the actual cause of this disorder may not be clear. Sometimes the primary cause is excessive strain on the jaw joints and muscle group that controls chewing, swallowing, and speech. This strain may be a result of bruxism – the habitual, involuntary clenching or grinding of the teeth. But trauma to the jaw, the head, or the neck may cause TMD. Arthritis and displacement of the jaw joint disks can also cause TMD pain. In other cases, another painful medical condition such as fibromyalgia or irritable bowel syndrome may overlap with or amplify the pain of TMD. A recent study by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research identified clinical, psychological, sensory, genetic, and nervous system factors that may put a person at higher risk of developing chronic TMD.
The following are the most common signs and symptoms of TMD. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Signs and symptoms may include:
Jaw discomfort or soreness (often most prevalent in the morning or late afternoon)
Pain radiating behind the eyes, in the face, shoulder, neck, and/or back
Earaches or ringing in the ears (not caused by an infection of the inner ear canal)
Clicking or popping of the jaw
Locking of the jaw
Mouth motions are limited
Clenching or grinding of the teeth
Sensitivity of the teeth without the presence of an oral health disease
Numbness or tingling sensation in the fingers
A change in the way the upper and lower teeth fit together
The symptoms of TMD may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Consult a dentist or your doctor for a diagnosis.
Specific treatment for TMD will be determined by your physician or dentist based on:
Your age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the disease
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the disease
Your opinion or preference
Treatment may include:
Resting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
Medication and/or pain relievers
Relaxation techniques and stress management
Behavior modification (to reduce or eliminate the clenching of the teeth)
Physical therapy
An orthopedic appliance or mouthguard worn in the mouth (to reduce bruxism)
Posture training
Diet modification (to rest the jaw muscles)

On the Road to Forever

What beautiful weather we're having. It's pouring down rain and everything is soaking wet. I awoke this morning to the sound of birds singing their praises to their maker for the rain and it won't be long before all nature will be blooming, dressed in its new spring garb.
Everyone is anticipating a wonderful season of Texas wildflowers this year and rightfully so. There's nothing like it when a late winter wet spell entices the dormant seeds of spring, rewarding those of us on the topside of the dirt with a spectacular array of colors. Millions of pictures will be taken and shared because it's hard to let the awesomeness of the moment to be stored only in one's memory.
Well, I for one look forward to a beautiful display of spring, coming soon to a neighborhood near you, but as any South Texan knows, don't miss it, because it doesn't last long. Mind you, I'm not complaining, but my schedule and the rain have been clashing for the past few weeks. The lack of drying time matching the lack of spare time on my part has my lawn looking like an embarrassing jungle. The weeds are loving the attentive watering they are getting and they're standing tall mocking my displeasure in them. That's okay. My day is coming and they'll rue the day of their insubordinate display. Sunshine, ambition, and a sharp mower blade is all I'll need to end their reign. The sunshine is promised; the new blade has been purchased; the ambition is on back order.
Five-year-old Johnny was in the bathtub and his mother was washing his hair. She said to him, "Wow, your hair is growing so fast! It looks like you need another haircut already." Little Johnny replied, "Maybe you should stop watering it so much."
An irate subscriber stormed into a newspaper office waving the current edition demanding to see "...whoever wrote the obituary column." When referred to a young reporter, while marching toward his desk the man barked, "You can see I'm very much alive, but you've put me in the obituary column. I demand a retraction!" Calmly the young man replied, "I don't retract stories, but I can do this for you. If you'll give me your mother's full name, I'll put you in the birth column, giving you a fresh start."
Another man was dumbfounded when he opened the morning newspaper to read that he had died. He quickly phoned his best friend. "Fred. Did you see the paper?" he asked. "They say I died." "Yes I did," Fred answered. "Where are you calling from?"
[John 3:1-8; 1 Pete 3:8-22; Romans 6:1-4] "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 3:23). The resulting death is death of the spirit. Remember, we are first spirit, for we are made in the image of God and God is Spirit. We must conclude that heaven is a spiritual place and we cannot enter it as a physical being.
Jesus told Nicodemus that he could not enter heaven unless he was "born again." Peter wrote to the churches in northern Asia Minor explaining to the believers the importance of living a spiritual life, even suffering for living God's will for man, because it is the life that leads the way to everlasting life. Paul's letter to the Romans deals with the subject of sin quite a bit. In the reference given, Paul, writing to those already baptized, reminds them that they cannot continue to live their old life and expect the grace of God to abound. In baptism they died to their former lifestyle and have entered into a new way of life, one guided by the Spirit, not by the world and self-indulgence.
An obituary is inevitable, but my name is also in the Book of Life.

Yosemite National Park is known for El Capitan and the breathtaking views captured by Ansel Adams, but visitors may soon remember another sight from their trip. Yosemite has installed the viagra tadalafil largest solar power array of all the national parks with a 672 kW system that will provide 12 percent of levitra tablets for sale the park's power needs.
Installed by Suntrek, the system consists of a 500 kW solar canopy over a parking lot, a 100 kW rooftop array on daily cialis a warehouse and a 72 kW wall mounted array, all located within the park's maintenance and administrative complex. The whole system is made up of 2,800 solar PV panels.
The $4.5 million installation will save the park $50,000 a year on energy costs and the park also expects to receive $700,000 in energy rebates from PG&E over the next five years.
This is something I'd love to see more of. While no one wants to see our national parks overrun with solar arrays, it is very fitting to install them at administrative or visitor centers where electricity is used. National parks exist to viagra china conserve and protect the most amazing parts of our land, so renewable energy seems to be ideal for providing their electricity.
Head over to SolarWorld's website, the maker of the panels, to see some cool photos of the project.

Even if you did take out the 700k from the cost it would take 76 years to make back that cost on installation.
Seems like another way to get in a little more debt. I know it doesn't work like this, but they should just take the money and http://www.umlauf.de/pfizer-levitra-uk use it for tax credits for home owners who want to canadian online pharmacy cialis install panels if they just have to spend it.

Why?! Dear FSM why!?
Why would you install solar panels on top of the largest volcano in the world?

Outreach Program
Juvenile Services Outreach Program
To create and maintain, within a graduated sanctions model, a comprehensive model of innovative community-based supervision that reinforces youth accountability and restorative justice and that promotes public safety.
Goals and Objectives
The goal of the Outreach Program is to provide a cost-effective, non-residential, and community-based system of services for juvenile offenders, which establishes juvenile accountability in a strength-based model while supporting juvenile rehabilitation.
The Outreach Program provides a variety of non-residential and community-based programs designed to:
Reinforce juvenile accountability for behaviors in a graduated sanction model that provides consequences which are both reward and rehabilitative based, and which are directed at reducing recidivism
Provide monitoring, supervision, and surveillance of juveniles in the community, on behalf of the referring agent, at varying levels dictated by client need
Provide educational, social, recreational, and character development activities for juveniles in order to encourage development of positive personal assets and facilitate linkages between juveniles and supportive community organizations
Provide communication between the referring agent and schools, vocational centers, employers, and other community-based service providers in order to monitor the juveniles' performance and compliance
Provide crisis intervention services to the juvenile and his/her family
Provide referral information about services designed to address family needs and/or problems
Duration of Program
Court Ordered: Until release by the Court or violation by program for non-compliance
CSU Post-Dispositional: 30 days on initial admission; 30 day additional one time extension
Intake Referral: Until disposition by the Court
Eligibility Criteria
All services within the Outreach Program are accessible to juveniles between the ages of 8 through 17 years, who:
Have been processed through the Hampton or Newport News Court Service Unit Intake Office
Have been adjudicated and ordered to participate by either the Hampton or Newport News Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court
Have been ordered to participate while under the jurisdiction of the respective Circuit Court pending the appeal process of a juvenile court conviction
Are in post-dispositional status and referred by the assigned Court Service Unit as a graduated sanction for non-compliance with established supervision rules
Program Operations
The Outreach Program operates with a staff of both full-time and part-time counselors experienced in working intensively with juveniles and their families. Services are provided on an as-needed basis, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Specific requirements are mandated requiring the frequency of contacts within the home, which ensure a high level of supervision and monitoring. The cornerstone of the program's success is establishing a professional, yet supportive, relationship with the juvenile and his/her family.
Benefits to Participants
The Outreach Program provides several benefits to participants and their families. These benefits include:
The ability to be supervised in the least restrictive manner, in lieu of detainment
The ability to participate in community-based services in order to implement treatment in a timely manner
The ability to receive assistance towards rehabilitation within the home environment, where continued success in demonstrating more socially acceptable behavior will be the ultimate challenge
Unique/Innovative Aspects
The Outreach Program provides service to one of the largest populations of juveniles within the state. The program is unique due to the integrated approach utilized in the provision of all service. The program strives to go beyond mere supervision and community-based surveillance; the staff works towards engaging the juvenile and the family and working toward assisting them in accessing services which will promote a positive change in their lives.

Last fall professor Anil Maheshwari, who heads the graduate program in Management Information Systems at MUM, decided to write his own textbook. He has taught MUM's data mining course numerous times and says, "I got the feedback from students that they liked the course but not the textbook. The textbooks in this area are too complex, too big, too expensive, and the MBA students didn't want all that detail."
Data mining textbooks are designed for computer science students, while MUM's data mining course caters to a combination of computer science and management students. Dr. Maheshwari filled the need with an inexpensive, concise, 150-page book that not only covers business intelligence and data mining, but also provides a context by including chapters on databases and big data. "I wrote it in a conversational tone, with practical examples, instead of using buzzwords, jargon, abbreviations, and too much mathematics," he said. Read more
MUM student Sara Sanders was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, and has worked as a touring musician, music teacher, and organic gardener both in Portland and in Minneapolis. When a serious back injury in 2011 left her temporarily paralyzed from the waist down, she began looking for alternative healing solutions and found MUM on the Internet.
Although Sara has taken numerous courses and internships on organic gardening and biodynamic farming, she felt her options of employment without a degree were limited. She was intrigued by MUM's Sustainable Living program and the idea of discovering herself through meditation, so she came to a Visitors Weekend in May 2012. Read more
MUM alumnus Michael Dearborn has always been interested in design. As a teenager, he learned architectural design, 3D modeling, and rendering and built a portfolio working with his architect father. When he became a Sustainable Living student, he discovered that his passion was sustainable design. For his senior project, he designed algae photobioreactors. In addition, he helped design the MUM biodiesel system, a natural swimming pool, a solar food dehydrator, and numerous other ecomachines.
His design experience proved handy when he got a job at Portapure, a Chicago-based company manufacturing portable water filtration devices. Michael now handles both product and graphic design for the company. Read more
Tawanda Miller does not fit the typical stereotype of a corrections officer. Yet the petite and soft-spoken North Carolina native worked three years in a correctional facility. Instead of regarding the inmates as criminals, she saw them as troubled people, became their friend, and won their respect. Her previous training as a nurse and her deeply compassionate nature inspired her to help them. Tawanda also became a deputy sheriff — a rare feat for a woman.
Then one day her son, who is an MUM student, sent her a copy of Maharishi's Science of Being and Art of Living. After reading the book, Tawanda realized there was a way to help inmates. She turned in her gun and badge to come to MUM and become a teacher of the Transcendental Meditation® program. Read more
IBM has recently selected MUM to participate in their Academic Initiative program which helps teach students market-ready skills by providing free data-mining software and courseware, access to hardware, and training for university faculty.

James Wilson grew up in Seattle, Washington, and joined the U.S. Air Force at 19. Always looking for unique experiences, he became a battlefield meteorologist. While stationed in the U.S., Europe, the United Arab Emirates, and Iraq, he provided combat weather support to Army aviation and infantry units. In 2011, he was named the U.S. Air Forces in Europe Battlefield Weather Noncommissioned Officer of the Year.
James had been interested in quantum physics and discovered the work of Dr. John Hagelin. Soon he learned about the Transcendental Meditation® program and read Maharishi's Science of Being and Art of Living, which inspired him to learn the TM® technique. But it wasn't until he left the Air Force, after six years of service, that he was able to learn TM in the fall of 2012. Read more
MUM faculty members Jane Roman Pitt and Ken West recently collaborated on a music video which they presented to Iowa Governor Terry Branstad in the State Capitol Building in Des Moines. The video, titled "Iowa Gold," features a song composed and performed by Ms. Pitt and Iowa landscape photos taken by Mr. West.
Ms. Pitt wrote "Iowa Gold" about 20 years ago when she first moved to Iowa and was inspired by the beautiful landscapes. Then last year she saw Mr. West's photographs in the MUM dining hall. "I was so struck by Ken's photos, because they were expressing in such depth of richness and color just what I was trying to say in the song." Read more
New Student Body president Alexandra Pomeroy came to MUM from Pennsylvania, where she studied communications at Penn State University.

MUM's Institute of Science, Technology and Public Policy hosted a conference on April 20, titled "Our Conscious Future", to discuss how the latest advances in mind, body, society, and the study of consciousness are converging to create new paradigms for humankind.
"This was a fantastic day of profound and transformational wisdom," said Dr. John Hagelin, director of the Institute and professor of physics at MUM. "Truly world-class speakers united in a world-class event. It was quite a feather in our cap for our University, and enriching to the whole community. Everyone involved—Michael Sternfeld, DLF-TV, MUM, Maharishi Foundation, the speakers, the performers, the organizers, the sponsors—should really be commended and congratulated." Read more
The Computer Professionals Program at Maharishi University of Management started in 1996 with nine students.

"We have been included every step of the way," said Barbara McLaughlin. "We feel the success of the program is our success also. It has been a blessing in our lives and very fulfilling." View brochure

PhD student Brian Glassett grew up in New Jersey in a family that practices the Transcendental Meditation® technique. He studied music and audio production at Drexel University in Philadelphia with the goal of becoming a record producer. However, his life took a different turn.
"I was writing a lot of music and doing other creative things, but all of it felt empty, because I felt empty," said Brian. "There was something hollow about the culture that I was a part of there. I was sad to see a lot of suffering all around me. I started to look for answers and eventually came back to Maharishi. That's when I went on a TM® residence course – that really opened something up inside." Read more

Samsung announced three WiFi enabled compact cameras at this years CES, and we got our hands on early working samples of the WB150F and WB850F.
These two travel compacts sport impressive zoom lenses - the WB150F features an 18x optical zoom, while the WB850F features a 21x optical zoom.
The Wi-Fi feature means that users users can email photos or share them on social networks such as Facebook and Picasa and post videos to YouTube in just a few simple steps with a Wi-Fi hotspot.
As these were early non-production samples, we can't comment on image quality and performance - the images you see here are from the WB150F.
However, the time we had shooting with them, they look promising pieces of kit. As soon as we get our hands on full production samples of each camera, we'll give you a full review.
