Las Vegas • Long before Craig Cusick soldiered on without flinching after his father was diagnosed with cancer, and years before BYU's senior guard made the game-winning shot against Utah State, he was a hero in his teammates' eyes.
"I don't know if there is another basketball player in the country on the Division I level who starts for his team and doesn't have a scholarship," marveled fellow senior Brock Zylstra. "It is really tough to do that, because I have been there and know how he feels. He's amazing."
And he's not bitter, angry or regretful that he was a significant contributor on BYU's basketball team while paying his own way.
"Just the opposite," Cusick said. "I just feel a tremendous amount of gratitude to coach [Dave Rose] for allowing me to come out a few years ago and try out for the team. I am just fortunate to have this opportunity, because I know there are a lot of kids out there who have dreamed of this, just like I did."
Cusick will make his 13th start of the season, 16th of his career, on Friday night when the Cougars (21-10) open play in the West Coast Conference Tournament against San Diego. Not bad for a walk-on who caught Rose's eye three years ago.
"What he has accomplished, it just doesn't happen that often," Rose said of the combo guard who has averaged 4.1 points and 2.2 assists per game this season. "His story will always be something that is really close to me. ... Those are really special guys, who can do what he has done."
How has he done it?
Cusick said his parents, Randy and Debbie, and his wife of nearly 18 months, Sadie, have made tremendous financial sacrifices so he could chase his dream.
"I have a fantastic wife and fantastic parents," he said. "My wife has graduated and has a job [to support the family]. By no means are we wealthy, but we are able to get by. That's something that college students have to do.
"Another blessing is my dad, who has worked hard and paid for my schooling. That's why the whole issue with my dad's health is really touching, because he is paying for me to be here. My parents and my wife are incredible."
As if Cusick's tryouts-to-starter story weren't noteworthy enough, it took another turn on Feb. 19 when, just hours before he would hit the put-back shot to beat USU 70-68 at the Marriott Center, his family learned that Randy had a cancerous tumor in his small intestine. He had collapsed a few days before that and was rushed to the hospital.
It was from his hospital bed that Randy watched the son who he coached in several sports growing up make his final shot of the game after missing his first six.
"That's Craig. He's clutch," said fellow senior Brandon Davies. "To see the things he's been doing, and the things he has had to go through, it is unbelievable to see the way he has handled it."
Tuesday, tests and scans revealed spots on Randy's liver and kidney and a biopsy was performed to see if those are signs of more cancer. The results were not back yet when BYU players and coaches met the media on Wednesday to talk about the season and the conference tournament.
"He is positive, and he is fighting, so we believe everything will be OK," Craig said. "There was a night or two of no sleep, but it hasn't affected me mentally on the court, or anything like that. ... There are so many blessings that have come into our lives because of what has happened. We really have felt the prayers and thoughts of a lot of people."
Cusick's roommate when the Cougars are on the road, Zylstra said he expected nothing less from his best friend.
"I knew he would soldier on, because his dad is definitely like that, and he is obviously from the same tree as his dad," Zylstra said.

Weight gain - unintentional
Unintentional weight gain is an increase in body weight that occurs when a person takes in more calories than the body needs or uses.
Almost 40% of all Americans are overweight. As we age, our metabolism slows, which can cause weight gain unless we also reduce the amount of food we eat and get adequate exercise.
Weight gain can also be a significant symptom of several endocrine diseases such as Cushing syndrome or hypothyroidism. It may also indicate a heart or lung disorder.
A continued weight gain occurs with pregnancy, whereas a periodic weight gain may occur with menstruation. A rapid weight gain may be a sign of dangerous fluid retention.
Common Causes
- Alcohol use
- Certain drugs such as corticosteroids, cyproheptadine, lithium, tranquilizers, phenothiazines, some antidepressants, and medicines that increase fluid retention and cause edema
- Cushing syndrome
- Eating too much and exercising too little
- Emotional factors such as guilt, depression, and anxiety
- High-carbohydrate, high-calorie diet
- Hypothyroidism
- Polycystic ovary syndrome
- Slower metabolism, which is normal with aging
- Quitting smoking
Home Care
Take action by starting a proper diet and exercise program. Counseling may be helpful.
Set realistic weight goals to maintain a healthy weight. Consult with a health care provider about specific measures.
Call your health care provider if
Contact your health care provider if the following symptoms occur along with the weight gain:
- Constipation
- Excessive weight gain without a known cause
- Hair loss
- Sensitivity to cold
- Swollen feet and shortness of breath
- Uncontrollable hunger accompanied by palpitations, tremor, and sweating
- Vision changes
What to expect at your health care provider's office
Your health care provider will perform a physical examination; measure your height and weight to calculate your body mass index (BMI); and ask questions about your weight gain, such as:
- Are you anxious, depressed, or under stress?
- Did you gain the weight quickly or slowly?
- Do you have a history of depression?
- Do you use alcohol or street drugs?
- Does the weight gain cause you much concern?
- Has your participation in social activities decreased?
- Has your physical activity been restricted due to illness or injury?
- Have there been changes in your diet or appetite?
- How much weight have you gained?
- What medications do you take?
- What other symptoms do you have?
- When did the weight gain begin?
Tests that may be done include:
- Blood tests including chemistry profile
- Measurement of hormone levels
- Nutritional assessment
Weight gain caused by emotional problems may require psychological counseling. Talk to your health care provider about an appropriate diet and exercise program and realistic weight loss goals. If weight gain is caused by a physical illness, treatment (if there is any) for the underlying cause will be prescribed.
If weight continues to be a problem despite diet and exercise, talk with your health care provider about other treatment options, including medications and surgery.

Third-Year Providence Goalie Heads to ECHL
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins, in their 18th year in the American Hockey League, announced that the National Hockey League's Boston Bruins have reassigned goaltender Kevin Regan to the Reading Royals of the ECHL. With the move, the P-Bruins now have 23 players on their roster, including 14 forwards, seven defensemen and two goaltenders.
Regan, 25, did not appear in Providence's only game this season, though he dressed as a back-up behind net-minder Dany Sabourin. The native of South Boston, Massachusetts, is in his third professional season but is still considered an AHL rookie after going 9-7-2 with a 2.99 goals-against-average and an .896 save percentage in 21 games for Providence last season. Regan also appeared in six ECHL games in 2008-09, compiling a 2-2-0 record and 2.47 GAA for the Alaska Aces, along with a 1-1-0 mark and 2.50 GAA as a member of the Gwinnett Gladiators.
The goalie's first pro experience came at the end of the 2007-08 regular season following a standout senior season for the University of New Hampshire Wildcats. After signing an Amateur Tryout Agreement on April 9, 2008, Regan recorded his only professional shutout in his pro debut three nights later against the Manchester Monarchs.
In his young pro career, Regan has posted a 13-10-2 overall record, one shutout, a 2.75 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 28 games. Regan was taken 277th overall by Boston in round nine of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.
The P-Bruins have a full weekend ahead with three games in three nights beginning Friday at the Dunkin' Donuts Center at 7:05 p.m. against the Hartford Wolf Pack. The evening marks a Magnet Schedule giveaway. On Saturday, Providence travels to Maine to faceoff with the Portland Pirates at 7 p.m. The P-Bruins host the Wolf Pack again on Sunday at 4:05 p.m. for a Family Game, where fans can buy one ticket, hot dog and soda for one low price. To purchase 2009-10 season tickets, Flex Tix or individual game tickets, please call the P-Bruins ticket office at (401) 273-5000 or log on to the team website at providencebruins.com.

Hi everyone
Just wondered if anybody who has lost weight through jogging can help me? How long/far should i be jogging and how often?
Jogging was always RawrGirl's cardio of choice, but she didn't lose very much...even when doing 3 miles 5x a week while on WW. Finally after frustrating the h*ll out of herself, she quit WW, gave up cardio, cut her calories and carbs and just focused on strength training with heavyish weights...and after 14 years of yo-yoing and never making it to goal, she is only a few pounds away.
Once at goal, jogging will probably help you maintain and allow you to eat more without gaining than someone who didn't run/perform high-intensity cardio, but doesn't seem to work for everyone for actual weight loss.
Blimp to Bombshell: RawrGirl's Weight Loss Diary -- Would love your comments!
RawrGirl's Mini-goal #1: Fit into Old Navy size 10 jeans (9/20/12) -- DONE!!!
RawrGirl's Mini-goal #2: Fit into Old Navy size 8 jeans (10/31/12) -- DONE!!!
RawrGirl's Mini-goal #3: <140 lbs (11/16/12 -- 138.5) -- DONE!!!
RawrGirl's Mini-goal#4: 28 inch waist (12/14/12 -- 27.75) -- DONE!!!
RawrGirl's Unexpected Perk: Fit into Old Navy size 6 jeans (12/14/12) -- DONE!!!
RawrGirl's Mini-goal #5: <135 (Dec 21st): ***129*** -- DONE!!!
RawrGirl's New Years Goal (Jan 11th): Return to 129 -- Didn't quite make it -- 133
RawrGirl's Valentines Banquet Goal (Feb 9th): Return to 129 lbs. -- Finally made it!
RawrGirl's Lent Challenge (Mar 29th): 122lbs. Maintain weight loss -- DONE!!!
RawrGirl's Summer Challenge (May 17th): 119 lbs. -- Epic Fail (weight fluctuating 129-134, then 134-139)
RawrGirl's Fall Challenge (Nov 26th): <129 lbs.
RawrGirl's Ultimate Goal: 119
I love running, been doing it for years - but I'm the first to admit its never helped my weight. In fact it revs up my appetite. Weight loss happens in the kitchen ( though weights and HIIT are good) and is, cliche warning, what makes one look good in their clothes. Exercise makes one look good naked!

ASUI Kibbie Dome (map it)
1000 Stadium Dr
Moscow, ID 83844
Year Opened: 1971
Capacity: 16,000
There are no tickets available at this time.
Official Review by Nate Kuester, Stadium Journey Special Correspondent
�The Dome� is by no means your average college football stadium. As of late, the fanfare has been a bit lacking. When there is a full crowd on hand it is one heck of a home field advantage. As the Vandals prepare to embark on their journey of independence as the football-playing members of the WAC turn to other options, the 16,000-seat facility will need to put all the fans they can into the seats in their quest to remain at the FBS level.
At first glance, the structure (completed in 1975) looks a lot like a can that is flopped over on its side and buried half way with its barrel-arch design. The dome not only features football games, but also converts into a venue for basketball as well. It�s unlike the majority of stadiums in college football. While getting there may not be the easiest of trips, it is a unique and photo-worthy experience.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
The food and drink options are fairly basic and representative of what you would expect to find at most college football venues. It is neither amazing, nor terrible. It is just exactly what you would expect. The prices are reasonable and represent a decent value in comparison to other stadiums, and is a pretty decent option for those looking to take their families to a sporting event. You have your basics like nachos and soft drinks that are available at the concession stands, which move at a decent rate and the lines are usually not too much of a problem. Alcoholic drinks are not available in the stadium.
Since the Kibbie Dome is an indoor venue, the elements are not an issue when it comes to comfort. Hot chocolate and coffee are always a big hit with crowds dealing with cold weather of most outdoor stadiums in the north. They are not necessary to stay warm at the Dome, but are of course available.
At capacity, the Vandals have a very loud and fun home field for their football team. The last few years have not been the kindest to the team and the attendance reflects that. The Idaho fans are a fun bunch, relatively well behaved (even when they used to play their in-state rival Boise State, despite all the hullabaloo that has been made of their nature in recent years). This a fantastic experience for families to take in a college football game.
There have been some significant improvements made to the facility in the recent years. Though it is a rather small venue it has a great deal of character and provides a unique environment that is hard not to take notice of. That observation is also one that likely doesn't escape attention of the visiting teams.
Before, it was a very dark and almost dungeon-like atmosphere. The recent renovations added translucent panels on each end of the structure that allows a lot of natural light to enhance and brighten the experience. A new pressbox, premium seating and loge boxes were also added.
As far as the other amenities at the stadium go, the video screen could be larger and is rather small. However, the Idaho athletic program is not one that is bursting at the seams with ticket revenue. It's a small stadium and a huge video screen is not likely to be in the cards for some time. The bathrooms are reasonably clean and rarely force you to wait very long, even during sold out games. The metal bleachers are what they are. No different or less comfortable than those at other stadiums. Overall, the experience is one of value.
Moscow is a unique and great college town in the region. Some call it the "Berkley of the Northwest." While the town is worthy of a rating much higher than the neighborhood itself, the immediate vicinity surrounding the Kibbie Dome is not all that interesting. The landscape is quite beautiful, however there are not that many other interesting features nearby.
The stadium is situated on the western edge of the campus, where there is nothing but university buildings and facilities around. Less than a mile away you can find restaurants (mostly chain and fast food), lodging and some shopping. There is a lack of character and development directly alongside the stadium which makes the overall experience somewhat lacking.
Everything is a healthy walk away, so it is not an encouraging environment for those who might be tempted to show up early or stick around after for more of that tailgating experience. The isolated venue is a disappointment and if there were more going on around the stadium, it would greatly enhance the experience.
To the east of campus are the unique Moscow places you need to check out. The Corner Club is a staple of the Idaho Vandals community, and it's a must for anyone who travels to the Palouse to catch a game. A trip to The Garden Lounge is also very worthwhile. Great drinks with a casual environment that will make you think you might be in a section of Portland, Oregon.
For those who consider themselves Vandals fans, they likely always knew they were going to be a Vandal or have family members that are Idaho graduates and fans. The locals also count themselves as fans and the city gets behind their team pretty well.
Attendance at the small venue is an issue at times and there are often a lot of empty seats for the games that are not linked to an event like homecoming or Dad's Weekend. It's a real shame considering the size is not all that impressive. When packed to capacity, it is very loud inside the dome. Normal attendance during the 2012 season ranged from 9,030 at the lowest and 14,755 at the highest, with an overall average of 12,582.
While the fans are a largely respectable bunch, there are not any real big traditions that strike you as very unique to Idaho when compared to other fans around the country. However, it is an overall enjoyable experience.
Getting to Moscow is anything but simple. There is a small regional airport in nearby Pullman, Washington, and another one about 40 minutes to the south in Lewiston, Idaho. Two hours to the north, is Spokane, which is where the largest airport in the region (Inland Northwest) is located. There are no interstate highways, so travel to and from is not something to be undertaken on a whim.
Travel during the late fall and early winter months can be troublesome at times. Flights are sometimes diverted due to fog and snow. The Palouse region, in which the university is located, features its signature rolling hills; and windy conditions are not exactly an unheard of event.
The tickets to attend are relatively cheap, parking is pretty reasonable and the concessions are not as expensive as you'll find in some of the larger stadiums around the country. The quality of the experience is certainly worthwhile.
Prior to kickoff, you can always check out the activities to the east of the stadium. There are a number of tents set up offering food and drink, as well as some fun activities for children.

Evernote is an app that lets you "remember everything," syncing text and photo memos across devices. With 45 million users already, it's a huge favorite for work and personal tasks, so it should find a natural home in BlackBerry devices.
We only know about this integration because RIM released developer documentation that points to this integration, so no one's seen it demonstrated yet.
This would be a huge win for RIM, as Evernote is one of the best productivity services available today.

Listen closely and you can hear the crescendo starting to build as the rather portly lady begins singing....."Turn out the lights; the party's over". Our spring turkey season here in Louisiana will be history after April 20.
The season here has been good for some folks; not so hot for other hunters. Perhaps the refusal of winter to release its icy grip on northern Louisiana, even as the dogwoods and azaleas defiantly point at the calendar indicating that it's not supposed to be this cold in mid-April that has led to the reluctance of gobblers to gobble.Subscribe to Read!

"I've bought these skirtings for my previous flat and my current house. They are a really attractive shape and easy to install - they are fully finished so transform the room as soon as they are glued on. It's a bonus to have a colour matched paint which I've used just to touch up the edges and joins in the past, although I think now a quick once over the whole thing looks best. Overall delighted with them and wouldn't buy any other skirting in the future - idea of having to prime and paint them all over would be really annoying!"

GENERIC NAME: nelfinavir
BRAND NAME: Viracept
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Nelfinavir is an oral medication that is used for treating infections with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It is in a class of drugs called protease inhibitors that also includes indinavir (Crixivan), amprenavir (Agenerase), ritonavir (Norvir) and saquinavir (Invirase, Fortovase). During infection with HIV, the HIV virus multiplies within the body's cells. Viruses are released from the cells and spread throughout the body where they infect other cells. In this manner, HIV infection is perpetuated among new cells that the body continually produces. During the production of the viruses, new proteins are made. Some of the proteins are structural proteins, that, is, proteins that form the body of the virus. Other proteins are enzymes which manufacture DNA and other components for the new viruses. Protease is the enzyme that forms the new structural proteins and enzymes. Nelfinavir blocks the activity of protease and results in the formation of defective viruses that are unable to infect the body's cells. As a result, the number of viruses in the body (the viral load) decreases. Nevertheless, nelfinavir does not prevent the transmission of HIV among individuals, and it does not cure HIV infections or AIDS. Nelfinavir was approved by the FDA in March 1997.
GENERIC AVAILABLE: No
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Tablets: 250 and 625 mg; Oral powder: 50 mg/g
STORAGE: Capsules and powder should be stored at room temperature, 15 C to 30 C (59 F to 86 F). The oral powder should be consumed within 6 hours after mixing it with water or other liquids.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Nelfinavir is used in combination with other anti-HIV drugs for the treatment of HIV infection.
DOSING: The recommended dose for adults and adolescents 13 years and older is 1250 mg twice daily or 750 mg three times daily. The recommended dose for children 2-13 years of age is 25-35 mg/kg three times daily or 45 to 55 mg/kg twice daily. Nelfinavir should be administered with food or a light snack. The tablets may be crushed and dissolved in water or mixed with food. Once mixed in water or food, the mixture should be consumed within 6 hours.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Nelfinavir interacts with many drugs because it reduces the ability of liver enzymes to break down certain drugs. Some of the important interactions are discussed below. Viewers should consult their health care professional before combining any drugs with nelfinavir.
Nelfinavir should not be used together with alfuzosin (Uroxatral), lovastatin (Mevacor), simvastatin (Zocor), pimozide (Orap), sildenafil (Revatio), amiodarone (Cordarone), quinidine (Quinaglute, Cardioquin), ergot derivatives (for example, Ergostat), triazolam (Halcion), and midazolam (Versed), because serious adverse effects could occur due to increased levels of these drug in the body.
Nelfinavir also may increase blood levels of vardenafil (Levitra, Staxyn), tadalafil (Cialis, Adcirca), and sildenafil (Viagra), leading to increased side effects. Dosage adjustments are recommended.
Nelfinavir also increases the concentrations in blood of rifabutin (Mycobutin). Therefore, the doses of rifabutin should be reduced.
Rifampin and St. John's wort decrease the concentration of nelfinavir in the body and may reduce the effectiveness of nelfinavir.

Human hippocampus stained with a method pioneered by Italian physician Camillo Gogli in 1873.Golgi discovered a chemical reaction that allowed him to examine nervous tissue in much greater detail than ever before. For some reason, hardening a piece of brain in potassium dichromate, and subsequently dousing it with silver nitrate, dyed only a few cell bodies and their respective projections in the tissue sample, revealing their complete structures and exact arrangement within the unstained tissue. If the reaction had stained all the neurons in a sample, Golgi would have been left with an unfathomable black blotch, as though someone had spilled a bottle of ink. Instead, his technique yielded neat black silhouettes against a translucent yellow background.

Williamses, Aussies Into Final
Published July 03, 2009 05:12
LONDON, UK - A day after they moved into the singles final, the Williams sisters cruised into the doubles final, crushing world No.1s Cara Black and Liezel Huber, taking a step closer to Grand Slam doubles title No.9.
The Williams sisters, seeded No.4 this fortnight, took out the top seeds in an absolute clinic, firing 34 winners to just 14 for Black and Huber and winning almost twice as many points - 59 to 31 - to win, 61 62. It lasted 61 minutes.
"We were really ready," Serena Williams said. "We've been playing doubles a lot, even though we don't play every tournament. We have team camaraderie. We've been getting a lot of experience, and we know what to do, doubles-wise."
The Williams sisters have won eight Grand Slam titles together already, three at the Australian Open (2001, 2003, 2009), one at the French Open (1999), three at Wimbledon (2000, 2002, 2008) and one at the US Open (1999). They have never lost a Grand Slam doubles final together, going 8-0 in eight finals.
"When you choose to play doubles, you have to be in really good shape, so you have to be prepared," Venus Williams said when asked if the doubles affected their singles. "If you're not in good shape, it can affect your singles."
Waiting in the final will be No.3 seeds Samantha Stosur and Rennae Stubbs, who pulled off a minor upset over No.2 seeds and two-time reigning French Open champions Anabel Medina Garrigues and Virginia Ruano Pascual in the second semifinal on a sunny Friday afternoon, 67(3) 64 62.
Stosur and Stubbs are still looking for their first Sony Ericsson WTA Tour title together, although they did come close the week before Wimbledon, finishing runners-up at Eastbourne. They began playing together at the start of the year. They have both won Grand Slam titles with other partners, however: Stosur has two (with Lisa Raymond, at the 2005 US Open and 2006 French Open) and Stubbs has four (three with Raymond, at the 2000 Australian Open, 2001 Wimbledon and 2001 US Open, and one with Black, at 2004 Wimbledon).
The two teams have played once before, with the Williams sisters winning, 64 62, in the third round of the Australian Open earlier this year.

MagicCabin team comment:
We're glad you've found the Aquaglow Jellyfish Hideaway to be as cool as we did—thank you very much for letting us know! We always aim for battery-operated lights (like our 865687 Starlight Bower), but had to make a decision when we found out 160 lights put too much of a drain on a battery pack. Since we really, really wanted the captivating effect created by all those super blues, our best recourse was the electric adaptor with off/on switch. We will certainly take your comments into consideration for future product development as we strive to create products that are both user friendly and able to create truly magical spaces for all children.

I was looking for a sunburst mirror in silver and was very pleased to find this on the Overstock website and even more pleased when it arrived--it is a truly beautiful and unique wall hanging and fits perfectly into my mid-century style home.
I was very excited to get this mirror. When you hang it, it does not give you the option to has as the picture displays so it looks like a square. You can only hand it to look like a diamond. I'm still not sure how I feel about it. It looks nice, but not what I expected.

The US Auto Industry Is Off To A Good Start
Rajesh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The US auto industry continues to show signs of recovery and growth as it posted handsome figures for January. The industry is recovering with stronger numbers and recorded 2012 as the best of the past 5 years. Though the US economy recovered at a moderate rate in the past year, the auto industry delivered solid numbers with improving consumer confidence. The year has kicked off to a great start and the industry is expected to record 15 to 15.5 million units' sales.
The Detroit Three recorded double digit sales gains in January, which were pretty impressive given the general trend. Let's take a closer look at the performance of these automakers.
Diving into the number pool
General Motors (NYSE: GM) continued to be the number one car company in sales. It witnessed a sales surge of 16% compared to the year ago period by selling 194,699 units. As the economic conditions are improving, the top US automaker is confident about future outlook and the prospects of its upcoming launches. Cadillac sales were up 47%, while Buick's redesigned Enclave crossover experienced a 57% jump in sales. Sales of Chevy Silverado increased 32%, while the Sierra enjoyed 35% sales growth.
The second Detroit auto maker Ford (NYSE: F) also experienced an impressive 22% sales growth. It beat the analyst estimates of 164,500 units by recording sales of 166,501 vehicles last month. Both Fusion and Escape are doing exceptionally well for the automaker. The new Fusion has been well-received by consumers, which is reflected in the strong 65% sales growth of the vehicle. Ken Czubay, the VP of US Marketing, Sales & Service, points out that the company's investment in fuel efficient cars and hybrid technology is giving impressive returns.
The third largest US automaker Chrysler may have slightly missed analyst expectation, but still saw a decent month. In fact this was the company's best January in the last 5 years. It enjoyed a 16% sales growth by selling about 117,700 units against a forecast of 121,000 vehicles.
Even the foreign automakers experienced remarkable growth in sales as the pent-up demand and discounts on a few segments continued attracting customers.
The foreign counterparts
The Japanese counterpart Toyota (NYSE: TM) continued to deliver solid growth with sales rising 26.6% to 157,724 vehicles compared to the prior year figures. The sales of Tundra were up 27%, while Corolla saw a 32% increase over the previous year. Toyota's recovery has been remarkable considering the supply chain disruption is suffered when its production units got hit by Tsunami.
The German automaker Volkswagen saw its best January since 1974. The automaker's sales increased 6.7% to 29,018 vehicles. Jonathan Browning, the Chief Executive and President of Volkswagen Group of America, is very positive about the momentum of the automaker and expects its growth to outrun the industry this year.
Hyundai's sales went up 2.4% over the prior year to a record high of 43,713 units. The automaker is very optimistic about its growth prospect with the launch of new models. Japanese auto manufacturer Nissan recorded a 2% increase in sales by selling 80,919 units. The sales number was mainly driven by the 2013 Pathfinder, which hit the showrooms in November.
The bottom-line
The US auto sector is off to a good start with 1.1 million vehicles sales in the first month, a rise of 15% compared to a year ago figures, according to TrueCar.com. Total vehicles sales were down 22% compared to December 2012, but they are decent enough. Traditionally January is not quite an exciting month for the automakers. Sales are generally down particularly after December's festive season discounts, year-end clearance offer, and other special offers. Many buyers plan their new cars during December to take advantage of the year-end offers and discounts, making the month of January slow.
Despite the lack of discounts and offer January sales were good, which is positive news for the auto players. Consumer confidence is rising and people are willing to replace their old models with the new offerings. The introduction of new models with attractive features and lower interest rates are attracting more and more buyers.

Task Force mourns death of Coretta Scott King
Roberta Sklar, Director of Communications
'[My husband] believed that none of us could be free until all of us were free, that a person of conscience had no alternative but to defend the human rights of all people. I want to reaffirm my determination to secure the fullest protection of the law for all working people, regardless of their sexual orientation ... it is right, just and good for America.'
— Coretta Scott King at the Task Force's Honoring Our Allies award ceremony
'From the beginning, Mrs. King understood that homophobia is hate, and hate has no place in the Beloved Community that she and Dr. King envisioned for our nation and our world.'
— Matt Foreman, executive director, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 — The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force mourns the death of Coretta Scott King, widow of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., who died in her sleep overnight at the age of 78. Mrs. King worked tirelessly after her husband's death in 1968 to carry on his legacy of social justice activism. She was a steadfast ally in the struggle for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights, and was honored by the Task Force in 1997 for her support of the cause. In addition, Mrs. King was a featured speaker at the Task Force's Creating Change 2000, where she rallied hundreds of activists gathered for the country's largest LGBT rights organizing conference. In 2003, her son, Martin Luther King Jr. III, was personally responsible for inviting Task Force Executive Director Matt Foreman to join Mrs. King to speak from the podium at the 40th anniversary of the 1963 Civil Rights March on Washington.
"Our community has lost a dear and courageous friend, someone who was there for us when virtually no one else was," Foreman said today. "From the beginning, Mrs. King understood that homophobia is hate, and hate has no place in the Beloved Community that she and Dr. King envisioned for our nation and our world. Our hearts go out to her family and to Lynn Cothren, her 23-year assistant and a former Task Force board member."
In 1997, upon receiving the Task Force's Honoring Our Allies award, Mrs. King told the crowd, "I accept this award as a reaffirmation of my commitment to carry forward the unfinished work of my husband, Martin Luther King Jr. My husband understood that all forms of discrimination and persecution were unjust and unacceptable for a great democracy. He believed that none of us could be free until all of us were free, that a person of conscience had no alternative but to defend the human rights of all people. I want to reaffirm my determination to secure the fullest protection of the law for all working people, regardless of their sexual orientation ... it is right, just and good for America."
At the awards ceremony, Kerry Lobel, then-Task Force executive director, said, "Mrs. King has stood shoulder to shoulder with us as we work to envision and create a world based on social justice. She embraces the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people as part of the continued legacy of Dr. King's brave work. Her progressive vision of peace and justice echoes around the world."
"Today we deeply mourn the loss of Coretta Scott King, who staunchly stood for the civil rights of all people, including the civil rights of our lesbigaytrans community of all colors, and who consistently challenged our own black community to understand that discrimination is wrong whether based on color or sexual identity. Civil rights is civil rights," said longtime activist Mandy Carter, executive director and a co-founder of the North Carolina-based group Southerners on New Ground.
"I'll forever cherish the day that I and Matt Foreman, representing our lesbigaytrans community, got to stand shoulder to shoulder with her on August 23, 2003, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington," Carter continued. "The 1963 march was organized by Bayard Rustin, a black gay pacifist who was instrumental in introducing Dr. King to concepts of Ghandian nonviolence, the hallmark of the civil rights movement. Thank you so much Mrs. Coretta Scott King. You've left an amazing legacy."
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

Level 1 Social Entrepreneur - Gaming principles to solve rural electrification in Africa.
I'm working on a battery charging station social business for rural electrification. A good analogy is that of a water-well. The small utility business (micro-utility) is started by the locals who sell electricity. This serves as the source of electricity (well), which the local community visits with batteries (buckets) for recharging. These battery packs are then taken back home where they can power smaller electrical appliances like lamps, radio, small TV etc.
There's a massive brain drain from the rural areas as young people migrate to the cities where they believe to find a better life. Unfortunately this is not true and millions end in the slums. We have to stop this and I think gaming coupled with social business is the key. If we can make community upliftment projects fun for the locals they will have a higher success rate. Rural electrification fail because there is a lack of ownership and fun. Free electricity does not work. There must be community involvement. Gaming principles might help.
So how can I make this project into a game? I'm hoping you would help me brain storm a bit. Here are some random ideas.
- Get experience points for charging a battery (both for the users and the utility business)
- Achievement for the longest lasting battery
- Once though experience is earned the user can spend points to either get a bigger battery or maybe even his own solar home system.
- Make the utility business money free. Use a trading system as seen in games. Ie. they trade their skills or goods to get electricity. This will help get rid of that notion "I am poor". So put everyone on the same playing field.
- Start organic farm as a source of good to trade. (Goods trading as in WOW)
- Good gathered at the utility can be sold to the cities to stream money back into the community.
- Bring in an auction house so skills can be traded locally?
- Once the rural-utility reach a level they can start another utility. They can maybe share XP as incentive?

Mar 23 2013: Hi Carolyn
Of course free electricity is desired but it's not sustainable. It's the difference between giving a fish vs teach how to fish. The talk on when NGOs fail illustrated the problem. Transfer of ownership is vital if a long lasting solution is needed.
As for the short handedness, I couldn't type anymore. I'm limited by word count. However, click on my name and you can go to my website. There's plenty more info there. :)
The game theory might be the key to a higher success rate... People want instant gratification which is the core behind the fun of games. If using the batteries and maintaining the system is fun maybe the social business will grow and more can be taught and rural electrification will spread

If you've ever driven by Jacobsville Park on Baker Avenue in Evansville, you've seen there's not much too it.
Trash litters the ground, there is no lighting and not much of a playground, but that might soon change.
Austin Maxheimer with One Life Church wants you to see Jacobsville Park through his eyes.
"We want to add bigger things like gazebos and playground equipment, but there thing we want to do is turn it into a park," says Maxheimer.
Maxheimer has been working with Jacobsville "Join In" and the Parks Board to turn this around.
On March 16, he says a local landscaper and volunteers are going to kick things off.
"Putting in a border around, creating an entry point to the park. Creating better lighting and things like that," says Maxheimer. So the first phase one is more cosmetic."
That also means cleaning up the trash and adding benches.
Maxheimer also says they've got input from neighbors surrounding the park.
"The number one thing they said was safety."
So Maxheimer says extra lighting will be installed and eventually when they get to phase two, they might add playground equipment, a shelter and maybe even a community garden.
For Andrew Bartlett, who lives a couple houses down, that's a-ok.
He says he moved to Jacobsville because he sees potential in the area and sees the same potential in the park.
"I think if the neighborhood and city actually viewed it as a park and actually invested a little, there would be a lot more people coming out around here," says Bartlett.

Early Electrification of Buffalo: Advent of Alternating Current
From GHN
This article is Part 2 of a 14 Part series.
Previous: Part 1 of 14: Early Electrification of Buffalo: The Beginning of Central Station Service
In September 1882, the Pearl Street Station of the Edison Electric Illuminating Company in New York City went into operation serving 85 customers with some 400 incandescent lamps [Fig. 2.1]. This central station system, which was designed to serve an area approximately one-mile square, consisted of constant voltage direct current generators connected in parallel serving radial circuits with lamps connected in parallel.i 110 volts was selected on the basis of economics with copper being the
The next important development came less than one year later in July 1883 when a three-wire system went into operation in Sunbury, Pennsylvania with a 62 1/2 percent saving in copper compared to the New York system [Fig. 2.3].iii To serve the same
Direct current systems had three major disadvantages:
- Generation had to be located reasonably close to the load due to the voltage drop, which required large size wire.
- Generation had to be at utilization voltage.
- Low utilization voltage meant high currents and high currents meant high losses in the distribution lines.
The first alternating current central station to operate commercially in the United States was placed in service in Buffalo on November 30, 1886 only four years after Edison's Pearl Street Station. It was a Westinghouse 400 lamp single-phase (or two-wire) system with a primary of 1000 volts. The generator was located in the Brush Electric Light plant at Wilkeson and Mohawk Streets. One customer was the Adam, Meldrum & Anderson department store on downtown Main Street, now the site of the Main Place Mall.v
Early ac systems had one major disadvantage: there was no commercially available ac motor. This shortcoming was solved in fairly short order. On May 1, 1888 Nikola Tesla [Fig. 2.5] was issued his first set of patents for a comprehensive system of generators, transformers, synchronous motors and induction motors for the transmission and utilization of two or more alternating currents -- what came to be known as the polyphase system. Two months later, George Westinghouse [Fig. 2.6] acquired the patent rights and Tesla's services.
During development of the polyphase motor it was found necessary to reduce the alternations from 133 Hz. or cycles per second (the more or less standard frequency for the early single-phase systems) to 60 Hz. This remains the standard North American frequency. Tesla also developed several "split phase" designs for motors for the single-phase systems.

As the son of the late Supreme Court Justice Hugo Lafayette Black, who was part of the unanimous decision, the younger Black began receiving threats from people who said they would burn crosses in his yard.
There were times when Black, a lawyer, had to hide in the courthouse so he wouldn't make a case harder to try for his colleagues. Hardest for him was the taunts his young son received at school.
By the early 1960s — saying he had had enough — the younger Black moved his young family to what is now Pinecrest.
Black, a venerable Miami attorney and author of a memoir about his father titled My Father: A Remembrance, died on Monday at his home in Pinecrest. He was 91.
Black, a well-known trial attorney handling everything from difficult divorces to anti-trust cases, maintained a law office in Coral Gables, where he practiced until his death. "He was really blessed with loving what he did," said his daughter Margaret Hartley Black.
Born on April 29, 1922, in Birmingham, Ala.. , Black was the oldest of three children. His father, who grew up in a poor rural community in Alabama, began his law career and then became a U.S. senator in 1926 before being appointed to the Supreme Court in 1937 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. His mother, Josephine Foster, was a housewife .
When the younger Black graduated from high school, he went to the University of Alabama until he was drafted into the Army and stayed stateside during World War II. He then went back to the University of Alabama and in 1946 graduated with an English degree. He later went to Yale Law School where in 1949 he graduated second in his class.
He returned to Birmingham where he began a labor law practice. He did, however, consider following in his father's footsteps, said his daughter.
"I definitely had politics in mind," he wrote in his book about his father.
But in 1952 his father told him to come to Washington, D.C. immediately, because he had to talk about something important, said Roger Newman, who wrote a book about Justice Black. His father told him that if he was elected to Congress he would be under constant political attack at home because the high court would soon have some important decisions dealing with school segregation, Newman said.
So the younger Black decided not to run. He stayed in Alabama, but not for long, said his daughter. "He realized it wasn't a place to raise a family," she said.
With his wife Bessie Graham Hobson Black, who died in 2000, and his three young children he moved to Miami.
And soon began making a name for himself in law circles. "He became one of the finest trial lawyers in Miami," said longtime friend former Miami-Dade Circuit Chief Judge Gerald T. Wetherington. "He was an extremely good writer and he loved jury trials."
In the court room, Black was assertive, but "juries loved him."
"Jurors loved him because he never talked down to them," said Phillip Hubbart a former judge with of the state Third District Court of Appeal.
With his Southern accent, Black's friends and family say he was able to "get in the jury box" and win his cases. Some his clients included CBS and comedian Jackie Gleason Black handled Gleason's business deals, said Newman.
Black became an author penning two law guides in addition to the book about his father.
Perhaps one of the hardest times in Black's life came when his son Hugo Black III, a former state legislator, died suddenly in 2007 from internal bleeding.
"He was extremely hurt," said Margaret Black. His son, an attorney, had followed in his father and grandfather's footsteps.
His partner Bonnie Losak-Jimenez said while Black had slowed down in recent years he still gave his input on cases and wanted to be involved.
"He was a brilliant man, who knew how to win cases," she said.
Outside of the courtroom, Black was a dedicated family man who had a knack for tennis and loved to read the classics, including Aristotle.
One of his favorite subjects was his father. He would tell his law buddies stories about his dad's cases including his most famous, Brown vs. Board of Education.
"We would get the story behind the scenes," said Gerald Kogan, a former chief justice of the Florida Supreme Court.
Margaret Black agreed. "His father was his hero," she said.
In addition to his daughter, Margaret Hartley Black, Black is survived by his daughter Elizabeth Graham Black.
Funeral arrangements are pending.

-- Mary Elizabeth Dallas
TUESDAY, July 26 (HealthDay News) -- Prevention is the key to
stemming the soaring cost of heart disease in the United States,
which reached $450 billion last year, according to a new policy
statement from the American Heart Association (AHA).
Programs to better manage cholesterol, blood pressure and
tobacco use would be a wise long-term investment in the nation's
health and economy, said the heart experts as they called on policy
makers to make heart-disease prevention a national priority.
"What we spend on cardiovascular disease is not sustainable. But we can afford to prevent it. Ultimately, we can't afford not to," said the statement's lead author, Dr. William S. Weintraub, chair of cardiology and cardiology section chief at Christiana Care Health System in Newark, Del., in an AHA news release.
In the statement, published July 25 in the journal
Circulation, the authors called for community-based changes that make adopting a healthier lifestyle easier. They calculated that every $1 spent on the construction of walking or biking paths would cut medical costs by $3.
Additionally, a nationwide plan to slash salt in the U.S. food
supply would help Americans stay within recommended sodium
guidelines -- 1,500 milligrams daily -- and reduce the rate of high
blood pressure by 25 percent, the statement said. That would save
$26 billion in health care costs each year, the authors added.
"People often don't realize the power to stay healthy is in their own hands," said Weintraub. "But it's not something many individuals or families can do alone. It takes fundamental changes from society as a whole."
To implement heart-healthy changes within communities, the AHA
said federal, state and local lawmakers must take action.
"Individual responsibility is a crucial first step, but environmental and policy changes are the most impactful ways to improve health," said Dr. Gordon Tomaselli, AHA president and professor and director of the division of cardiology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, in the news release.
The heart experts urged policy-makers to take the following
The AHA policy statement concluded that taking steps to prevent
heart disease now could have long-term economic and physiological
"Prevention will pay for itself," added Tomaselli. "Not just monetarily, but also by lengthening and improving the quality of life people can enjoy. More importantly, these changes won't just affect us today, they'll have a positive impact on generations to come."

By Colleen Chen, NEWS 9
PRAGUE, Oklahoma -- The mother of a man accused of murdering and stuffing another man into a container is speaking out for her son, saying his actions were in self-defense.
Pottawatomie County Deputies said they found 19-year-old Ethan Walton dead, handcuffed in a sealed 55 gallon drum Wednesday night. Investigators said Walton was handcuffed, his feet were taped together and he had major head injuries.
Investigators found Walton after a nude woman ran to a nearby home for help saying she was sexually assaulted and her boyfriend had been murdered.
Deputies arrested 39-year-old Glendon Gouker and his sister, Michelle, for the crimes. Authorities said Walton had been trying to sell Gouker a piece of property.
"It was done yesterday morning. The family knew that Ethan had agreed to a price Glendon offered him and paperwork was done and signed yesterday morning," said Penny Veitenheime, Glendon Gouker's mother.
Veitenheime said she spoke to her son several times Wednesday and everything sounded fine, until Thursday morning.
"He called and said, 'Mama get an attorney.' He said, 'He came back to rob me.' He said, 'Get Michelle out of here. She had nothing to do with this,'" Veitenheime said.
Veitenheime said she believes her son and stepdaughter Michelle Gouker fought back after a home invasion by Walton and his girlfriend and likely got scared when Walton died.
Veitenheime said her son told her it was self-defense.
"He says Ethan was coming to rob him, to demand more money for the property. All the papers had already been signed early Wednesday. It was already a done deal," Glenda Gouker said.
But investigators said there are still many unanswered questions.
"Our theory on that is home invasions, you don't cuff and tape them and put them in a 55 gallon drum and seal it and tie them naked to a bed," said Capt. J.T. Palmer, Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Office.
Veitenheime said her son's next court date is in about a week, which is when he's expected to be charged with first-degree murder.
The female victim's name has not been released.

The Ruskin Today
The Ruskin, as it is known, is the Fine Art Department of the University of Oxford. In an intimate and dynamic environment, the school gathers together cutting edge contemporary artists and art theorists with some of the brightest and most creative art students. Fine Art is taught as a living element of contemporary culture with a broad range of historical and theoretical references. Comprising both a flourishing undergraduate programme and a growing Dphil programme (made up of both practice-led and theory-based doctoral students), the Ruskin embodies risk-taking, curiosity, and rigour grounded in a wide sense of the word 'research'.
The layout of the Ruskin's facilities on two sites offers a strong working atmosphere. Personal studios are co-operatively arranged with fellow students according to need and change with each new group. We prefer to interview people who have visited the school and talked to Ruskin students so that they already have a realistic (and ambitious) view of the opportunities. Ruskin students are members of Oxford colleges that provide additional working relationships and support. Through the elaborate collegiate system, Ruskin students develop friendships covering many other subjects.
The Ruskin is distinctive within the University because all the teaching takes place within the school. The proximity between media and the way that art history and theory is entwined with studio work provides advantages to ambitious students. There is a sense of expectation about the place, a day-to-day exchange of ideas and a developing debate with the department as a whole.

Obamacare may force White Castle to seek part-timers
The maker of onion-steamed mini-burgers says it won't cut current hours or benefits, but can't afford to cover newcomers.
Treading ground already well worn by Papa John's (PZZA), Wendy's (WEN), Dunkin' Donuts (DNKN) and Darden Restaurants (DRI), an executive from Northeast and Midwest onion-steamed mini-burger chain White Castle told National Public Radio his restaurants may hire only part-time workers in the future to avoid the costs of the new health care insurance mandate. White Castle vice president Jamie Richardson says his company's health care costs will rise by 24% once the law is implemented.
The Affordable Care Act, often referred to as Obamacare, requires businesses to offer health insurance to all full-time employees or face significant financial penalties. Earlier this month, however, the Obama administration announced that implementing the corporate insurance measures would be delayed until 2015.
Unlike its fast-food and casual dining cohorts, however, White Castle refuses to cut current workers' hours, fire them or slash benefits to comply with the new health care laws. White Castle employs roughly 9,600 workers nationwide, about half of whom are full time and already covered under the company's health care plan. "If you're full time at White Castle, you're going to stay full time at White Castle," Richardson told NPR.
Judging by employers' reaction to the new health care rules so far, White Castle's restrained reaction falls well within the majority. According to a March survey from the Minneapolis Federal Reserve, nearly 90% of employers won't shift full-time workers to part time once the new law takes effect.
The International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans, an organization of human resources professionals, found that more than two-thirds of companies definitely plan to offer health benefits to full-time workers after the ACA is implemented. Just 0.5% said they definitely will discontinue coverage. More than 90% of companies surveyed currently offer health benefits to full-time workers.
Still, White Castle's Richardson notes that the fast-food industry's margins are far tighter than those of other industries. The profit per employee in restaurants is only $750 per year, he says, which makes adding health insurance as a benefit for all employees over 30 hours, as the health care law requires, particularly painful.
It would take some Harold-and-Kumar-size hunger for Crave Case suitcase boxes of White Castle sliders to compensate for the cost of increased coverage.
Defunfd or repeal the Unaffordable Care Act.
The President lied about Obamacare Not being a Tax and the Supreme Court said:Yes it is a Tax. Most Americans don't believe anything coming out of Obamas mouth because he lies so often that if he ever was truthful, we would probably miss it. Instead of Uniting Americans , he will be forever known as the Great Divider. And please don't mention God around him , you might get arrested.
Low wage employees getting reduced hours, already barely able to survive, and getting worse, all thanks to OBAMA.
Change, hope, wtf was he talking about. About time for america to follow in the footsteps of egypt.
Best change we could get right now, is obama and biden out of office. By far the worst president we have ever had in all of history.
Let's see, 60% of all new jobs are created by small business. We have a real unemployment problem in this country. Hey, I know, let's screw over small business even more and make it more difficult for them to survive, let alone thrive. Brilliant!
This is what happens when you vote for a bunch of professional politicians, activists, community organizers and lawyers.
gil 263. they do not care. they do not work. they live on the government tit and have free medical care.why should these free loaders worry about obama care. they will lose nothing.
"When the populace learns that it can vote itself moneys from the treasury, Democracy is finished."

I will never ever forget Pelosi screaming at the top of her lungs," PASS IT, YOU CAN READ IT LATER!!!!!"! Is it any wonder why we have a Congress in gridlock???????????????

Pens' Malkin set to return Monday
Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin is set to return Monday against Tampa Bay after recovering from a concussion.
Malkin was hurt in a Feb. 22 game against Florida after his head slammed into the boards. He was placed on injured reserve a few days later and this past Sunday passed all concussion tests.
"Evgeni Malkin was cleared for full contact (Sunday), went through the full practice and in the afternoon he took his ImPACT test and passed," said Penguins coach Dan Bylsma on Monday. "He is cleared to play and will be playing (Monday) in the game vs. Tampa Bay."
Malkin suffered his concussion after being taken out by Florida defenseman Erik Gudbranson on a clean hit. As the Penguins star sped toward the net, he slid backward after the hit and the back of his head crashed into the boards. He remained on the ice for a time before skating off under his own power.
In 18 games this season entering Monday's play, last year's Hart Trophy winner as league MVP has four goals and 17 assists. The Penguins were 2-2 in his absence.

A Message from the Chief Nursing OfficerWelcome to the Nursing Web site at Children's Medical Center.
Since our beginnings as the Dallas Baby Camp in 1913, nurses at Children's Medical Center Dallas and Children's at Legacy in Plano have been committed to achieving the best possible patient care for the little ones given over to our charge.
Children's has been honored by U.S.News & World Report and Parents magazine as being one of the top pediatric hospitals in the country and has been designated as a Magnet™ hospital by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
Our mission — to make life better for children — is based on a philosophy of care that is patient- and family-centered.
It is modeled on our nurses' longstanding Shared Governance system, which clearly defines how the philosophy of patient care, the practice of patient care and the development of the professional practice environment inter-relate.
Additionally, the Professional Practice Model used at Children's incorporates strong collaborative relationships with the staff — from the physicians with whom nurses work closely in a team approach, to the housekeepers who help maintain the best environment for care.
This Web site is your opportunity to learn more about our philosophy of care, our nursing leadership team, educational opportunities, career pathways and more. As with any Web site, it is organic in nature and will grow as needed.
We look forward to our 100th anniversary, and to extending our mission with its exciting possibilities for our nurses.
Mary Stowe, RN, MS, NEA-BC
Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer

At the upcoming 2013 Shanghai Auto Show, Citroen will unveil its new DSX Concept car that previews a new SUV set to target models like the Audi Q5 und BMW X3. The new model will be built on the same platform as the DS5 and its production variant will be unveiled in 2014. The model will be initially offered in China and after that will arrive in Europe.
The new concept will have a length of 4.70 meters (185.04 inches) - about the same size as the Audi A5. The production version is rumored to be offered with petrol and diesel engines, which will deliver from 160 to 200 horsepower. There will also be a hybrid version that will combine a 1.6-liter THP petrol engine with an electric motor for a total output of 240 horsepower.
The hybrid model will be offered in an all-wheel-drive version where the electric motor will drive the rear wheels, while the petrol engine powers the front wheels. For non-hybrid models, only a front-wheel-drive version will be offered.
When put on sale, the production version will be priced at about €39,000 (about $52,500 at the current exchange rates).
We'll update this review, once Citroen releases additional information on the concept.
