Lease a Cadillac ATS
If you can't remember any small Cadillac sedans of the past, consider yourself lucky, as neither the Opel Omega-based Catera or Chevy Cavalier-based Cimarron offer particularly fond memories. Fortunately, all that matters now is the fact that the 2013 Cadillac ATS stands as an impressive entry in a class full of overachieving sport sedans.
It's no secret that the Cadillac folks have aimed the rear-wheel-drive ATS squarely at the well-rounded BMW 3 Series, which has defined the segment for years. The ATS's exterior dimensions essentially mirror those of the 3 Series, and the ATS offers fine build quality, feisty performance and an involving drive along with a supple ride, just like the benchmark Bimmer. Cadillac's newest model also offers a logical electronic interface with which to work all the handy interior convenience gizmos, which is a crucial component in this segment of luxury cars.
The Cadillac ATS stacks up well against its rival. On the road, it delivers excellent steering feel and an agile, well-balanced ride. Contributing to the sharp dynamics is the fact that this Caddy is the lightest car in its class (by 70-150 pounds, depending on trim). Further adding to the ATS's athleticism is its ideal 50/50 weight distribution between the front and rear wheels.
With a trio of engine choices available, the ATS's performance ranges from tepid to thrilling. The base 2.5-liter four serves as the price and fuel economy leader, although its 202-horsepower output lags behind the base engines found in the competition. Meanwhile, the turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 packs a solid midrange punch and is the only choice in the ATS range that can be had with a manual gearbox. With 321 hp, the energetic V6 offers a sweet soundtrack and is well-matched to a very responsive automatic transmission.
There are a few minor issues with the ATS. Enthusiasts may wish for a manual gearbox with the top engine, while the rear seats and trunk are less roomy than what some rivals offer. Of course, this segment isn't exactly bereft of talent, either. The 2013 BMW 3 Series still takes top honors by virtue of its superior base powertrain and slightly even more engaging driving dynamics, but it's also typically more expensive. We're also quite fond of the similarly well-rounded Audi A4, the refined Mercedes-Benz C-Class and value-packed -- if not as polished -- Infiniti G sedan. But overall, the 2013 Cadillac ATS is a very strong contender in the very, very competitive segment of compact sport sedans.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options Leasing a Cadillac
The 2013 Cadillac ATS is a five-passenger, luxury-oriented sport sedan that is offered in four trim levels: base, Luxury, Performance and Premium.
Standard features on the base trim include 17-inch alloy wheels, heated mirrors, automatic headlights, cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, six-way power front seats with power lumbar, leatherette premium vinyl upholstery, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, OnStar, Bluetooth phone connectivity and a seven-speaker Bose sound system with satellite radio, an iPod/USB interface and an auxiliary audio jack.
The Luxury trim adds run-flat tires, keyless entry/ignition, remote engine start, eight-way power front seats, front and rear park assist, a rearview camera, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, leather seating, driver memory functions, a 60/40 split-folding rear seat (with pass-through), HD radio, Bluetooth audio streaming and the CUE infotainment interface.
The Performance trim (not available with 2.5-liter engine) further adds dual exhaust outlets, a Driver Awareness package (forward collision alert, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, automatic wipers and rear seat side airbags), an active aero grille, xenon headlights, an upgraded 10-speaker Bose surround-sound audio system (with a CD player), front sport seats (with driver-side bolster adjustment) and a fixed rear seat with pass-through.
Stepping up to the Premium trim (not available with 2.5-liter engine) adds 18-inch wheels, a navigation system, a color head-up display and the 60/40 split-folding rear seat. An ATS Premium with rear-wheel drive also comes with summer tires, a sport-tuned suspension, adaptive suspension dampers and a limited-slip rear differential.
Many of the features that are standard for the upper trim levels are available as options on the lower trims. A few other optional packages are also available. The Driver Assistance package includes the features from the Awareness package and adds adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, collision preparation with brake assist, and the color head-up display. The Cold Weather package includes heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. The Track Performance package adds an engine oil cooler and upgraded brake pads. Other options include different wheels, a sunroof and a trunk cargo organizer.
Leasing a Cadillac Powertrains and Performance
The 2.5 models come with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 202 hp and 190 pound-feet of torque. The 2.0 Turbo models come with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder rated at 272 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. The 3.6 models come with a 3.6-liter V6 that cranks out 321 hp and 274 lb-ft of torque.
All ATS engines come matched to a six-speed automatic transmission except the 2.0 Turbo, which can also be had with a six-speed manual. Rear-wheel drive is standard across the board, with all-wheel drive optional for the 2.0- and 3.6-liter engines.
In Edmunds testing, a rear-drive ATS 2.0T with the manual went from zero to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds. A rear-drive ATS 3.6 Premium with an automatic accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds. Both times are average among similarly powered entry-level sport sedans.
EPA-estimated fuel economy for the ATS 2.5 stands at 22 mpg city/33 mpg highway and 26 mpg combined. The V6 is estimated to achieve 19/28/26 with rear-wheel drive and Cadillac claims the 2.0-liter Turbo will get the same with an automatic transmission. With all-wheel drive, the ATS V6 drops to 18/26/21.
Safety Leasing a Cadillac
Standard Safety Leasing a Cadillac features for the 2013 Cadillac ATS include antilock disc brakes, traction control, stability control, active front head restraints, front-seat side and knee airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. Also standard is OnStar, which includes automatic crash notification, on-demand roadside assistance, remote door unlocking, stolen vehicle assistance and turn-by-turn navigation. Optional are the aforementioned Driver Awareness and Driver Assistance packages.
In Edmunds brake testing, an ATS 3.6 Premium came to a stop from 60 mph in an impressively short 108 feet. A 2.0T stopped in an average distance of 113 feet.
Interior Design and Special Features Cadillac Lease
Inside its cabin, the 2013 Cadillac ATS boasts a variety of high-quality materials, including tasteful wood and metallic accents. The available CUE infotainment interface features large icons and operates like an iPhone or iPad, which is to say you operate it by tapping, flicking, swiping or spreading your fingers -- making it familiar for many users. Furthermore, "Haptic" feedback lets you know when you've pressed a virtual button by pulsing when you touch it.
Up front, the seats do a nice job of holding one in place during spirited drives, and it's fairly easy to find a comfortable driving position. Oddly, the optional sport seats don't provide much more in the way of lateral support for the driver, despite their power-adjustable bolsters.
Rear-seat headroom is good, but knee room is tight for taller folks. Despite a wide opening, the ATS's trunk offers just 10.2 cubic feet of capacity — downright stingy for this segment. Fortunately, some trims feature a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, which helps in this regard.
Lease a Cadillac Driving Impressions
The 2013 Cadillac ATS is an impressive all-around performer, thanks to a poised ride, sure-footed cornering capability and excellent response from the steering and brakes. The 2.5-liter engine is smooth, but it delivers tepid acceleration compared to other entry-level powertrains, notably that of the BMW 328i. Opt for one of the other ATS engines, however, and you'll have no complaint, as they provide thrust more in keeping with this Cadillac's athletic personality. Although enthusiasts may lament the lack of a manual transmission for the V6, the six-speed automatic is hard to fault. Switched to Sport mode, this automatic knows just when to hold a gear and provides smooth, rev-matched downshifts right on time, every time.
Even with its sporting calibration, the Cadillac ATS takes neglected city streets in stride, absorbing the shock of potholes and broken pavement without upsetting the car or its occupants. As a result, the compact Cadillac makes for a fine daily driver that can also provide plenty of entertainment on a Sunday morning drive.
Lease a Cadillac CTS
America does things bigger. Bigger houses, bigger monuments, bigger stores. You name it, we'll super-size it. The big question, though, is "Is bigger better?" In the case of body mass and cars like the 2013 Cadillac CTS sedan, the answer is: "not so much."
True, the current CTS was a revelation when it was introduced five years ago, as it represented several leaps forward for the Cadillac brand. For the first time in a long time, a car with that iconic crest could stand toe-to-toe with the world's finest luxury sedans while still offering uniquely American style and size. In more recent years, though, the CTS has been left relying on those red, white and blue virtues while its many competitors have been updated and overhauled, essentially moving the luxury standard upward.
On its own merits, the CTS sedan still has plenty of appeal, including a stylish cabin replete with plenty of modern technological conveniences and pleasant materials. The CTS also drives quite well, with respectable power from the larger 3.6-liter V6 engine and confident handling. However, when you drive it back to back with its import competitors, even these admirable qualities tend to fall short of the now-current standard.
The cabins of rival sedans present better interior workmanship and even more features, while the CTS suspension allows more of the road's many imperfections to intrude into an otherwise serene cabin. Opting for one of the optional sport suspensions only adds additional harshness. This Cadillac's size, while beneficial for passengers, also makes it feel less agile and maneuverable than other so-called sport sedans.
While the 2013 Cadillac CTS remains an enjoyable luxury sedan, overall we think there are better choices this year. It should be worth checking out the benchmark 2013 BMW 3 Series or the similarly sized 2013 Lexus GS 350. And if flying the red, white and blue is important, Chrysler's surprisingly luxurious 300 and Cadillac's new, sporty ATS are likely better choices as well.
Unless you truly need that extra room, the 2013 Cadillac CTS proves that bigger isn't always better.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options Leasing a Cadillac
The 2013 Cadillac CTS is a five-passenger midsize luxury sedan that is available in three trim levels: 3.0 Luxury, 3.6 Performance and 3.6 Premium. The high-performance CTS-V is reviewed separately, as are the CTS Coupe and Sport Wagon.
Standard features for the 3.0 Luxury include 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, heated mirrors, keyless entry, remote ignition, cruise control, automatic wipers, dual-zone automatic climate control, a rearview camera, heated eight-way power front seats (with two-way lumbar adjustment), driver memory functions, leather upholstery, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, interior accent lighting, OnStar emergency communications, Bluetooth phone connectivity and an eight-speaker Bose sound system with a six-CD changer, an auxiliary audio jack and satellite radio.
The optional CTS Touring package adds 18-inch wheels, dual exhaust, a power increase, a sport-tuned suspension (dubbed FE2), adaptive xenon headlights, foglights, a different grille, a faux suede-wrapped steering wheel and special interior trim.
The 3.6 Performance trim adds a more powerful engine, the Performance package and a 10-speaker Bose surround-sound audio system with a single-CD player, digital music storage and an iPod/USB audio interface.
The 3.6 Premium includes all the above equipment, but adds a panoramic sunroof (optional on all other trims), rear parking sensors, keyless ignition/entry, a cabin deodorizer, a heated and power-adjustable wood-trimmed steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, a split-folding rear seat, a navigation system (optional on other trims) with a pop-up touchscreen interface, and real-time traffic and weather.
The Performance and Premium packages can be equipped with a different Performance package that adds 19-inch wheels, summer tires, an even sportier suspension (FE3), a limited-slip differential, upgraded brakes and shift paddles. A CTS Touring package for the Premium includes all of the above items plus Recaro front sport seats.
Leasing a Cadillac Powertrains and Performance
Every 2013 Cadillac CTS comes standard with rear-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is optional. The 3.0 Luxury comes standard with a 3.0-liter V6 that produces 265 horsepower and 220 pound-feet of torque. When equipped with the Touring package, the included dual exhaust bumps output up to 270 hp and 223 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic is the only transmission offered.
EPA-estimated fuel economy for the rear-drive, automatic-equipped CTS 3.0 is 18 mpg city/27 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined. All-wheel drive drops it slightly to 18/26/21 mpg.
CTS 3.6 models get a 3.6-liter V6 that produces 318 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque. The six-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive are standard and all-wheel drive is optional. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 18/27/21 mpg regardless of whether you get rear- or all-wheel drive.
Safety Leasing a Cadillac
Standard Safety Leasing a Cadillac features for the 2013 Cadillac CTS include antilock disc brakes, traction control, stability control, active front head restraints, front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. Also standard is OnStar, which includes automatic crash notification, on-demand roadside assistance, an emergency button, stolen vehicle locator and active intervention, and remote door unlock.
In government crash tests, the CTS received the best possible rating of five stars in the overall, frontal and side crash categories. In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Leasing a Cadillac testing, the sedan was awarded the best rating of "Good" in the frontal-offset, side and roof strength tests.
In Edmunds brake testing, a CTS 3.6 Premium came to a stop from 60 mph in 117 feet, which is better than average. With the 19-inch wheels and summer tires, that distance drops to 109 feet, which is about average for similarly equipped cars.
Interior Design and Special Features Cadillac Lease
Inside, the 2013 Cadillac CTS features a pleasing angular theme to match its exterior edginess. Soft-touch materials are plentiful, accented by tasteful wood trim. The optional navigation system emerges from the top of the dash and retracts almost fully, leaving a small section visible as a touchscreen display for the audio system -- a smart and elegant alternative solution to having a separate control panel. We also appreciate that Cadillac provides a redundant control knob for scrolling through iPod or satellite radio menus. Doing so simply with a touchscreen can be frustrating and distracting.
Unfortunately, the interior also comes with its fair share of flaws. Many find the driving position awkward because of slightly offset pedals, a low-mounted seat and compromised knee room due to the sweeping center stack. Overall comfort is also hampered by flat and stiff seatbacks. Thick rear pillars not only make the backseat feel a bit claustrophobic, but the resulting rearward visibility is notably poor, forcing the driver to rely heavily on the optional rearview camera when maneuvering in reverse.
Trunk space (13.6 cubic feet) is decent, but the narrow opening requires quite a bit of jostling in order to fit bulky items. Golf clubs will not fit width-wise, and so will eat up the available space, as they must be placed diagonally. Split-folding rear seatbacks are only available on the range-topping Premium trim.
Lease a Cadillac Driving Impressions
The 2013 Cadillac CTS tracks through corners with greater athleticism than you might expect. The steering is precise and well-weighted, but the car's overall mass ultimately makes it less agile than most competitors. Its road-holding performance also comes at the expense of ride quality. Those expecting the luxurious ride of Cadillacs past will likely find the suspension on the Performance trim models too firm for their tastes. Given that, the even stiffer optional sport suspension will likely be far too harsh and unforgiving for most.
Power delivery from the base 3.0-liter V6 is sluggish compared to the broad-shouldered 3.6-liter engine. Considering that both engines achieve virtually identical fuel economy, we suggest springing for the bigger V6 if your budget allows.
Lease a Cadillac Escalade
Fashion is a fickle mistress. There was a time when the Cadillac Escalade was the vehicle du jour for the wealthy, famous or those keeping up appearances. Unlike the classic black cocktail dress or gentlemen's two-button suit, however, the Escalade doesn't enjoy a timeless status. Six years into the current generation's run, the Escalade now looks more like yesterday's fashion.
That's not to say the 2013 Cadillac Escalade lacks merit, as it still satisfies the core expectations of any large luxury SUV. A long list of features, plenty of power at the driver's disposal and an unmistakable road-going presence help this big Cadillac hold much of its original appeal.
But other rivals have upped their game and tarnished the Escalade's shine with more capable alternatives. The Escalade's third-row seats, for example, which penalize the center passenger with a distinct lack of space, mark one of the SUV's more glaring faults. Cargo space also suffers, as the third row does not fold neatly out of the way and requires complete removal to accommodate a respectable amount of luggage. Add to that a thirsty V8, long braking distances and the Escalade's attractiveness to car thieves, and it's no mystery why shoppers are looking elsewhere.
For these reasons, we'd steer potential owners toward the all-new and similarly priced 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, which essentially outperforms the Cadillac on all fronts. If expanded passenger and cargo capacity aren't absolute necessities, the 2013 Infiniti QX and 2013 Porsche Cayenne are also worth consideration. Any of these choices will likely make a bigger fashion splash than the aging 2013 Cadillac Escalade.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options Leasing a Cadillac
Classified as a full-size SUV, the 2013 Cadillac Escalade is offered in Base, Luxury, Premium and Platinum Edition trim levels. Seven-passenger seating is standard, with an option to add a second-row bench for up to eight passengers (except on the Platinum trims). The Escalade Hybrid, the extended-length ESV and the pickup-style EXT are reviewed separately.
The base Escalade comes standard with 18-inch wheels, an adaptive and auto-leveling suspension, a locking rear differential, a tow package, rear parking sensors, a power liftgate, automatic xenon headlights, foglamps and heated mirrors with power-folding and driver-side dimming.
Interior features include remote ignition, tri-zone automatic climate control, a power tilt-only steering wheel, power-adjustable pedals, heated and ventilated 10-way power front seats with four-way lumbar adjustment, driver memory functions, heated second-row captain's chairs, leather upholstery and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Additional features include a rearview camera, Bluetooth, OnStar, a navigation system, a touchscreen interface and a 10-speaker Bose surround-sound audio system with a CD player, satellite radio, an auxiliary audio jack, an iPod/USB audio interface and rear audio controls.
The Escalade Luxury adds 22-inch wheels, a magnetically controlled adaptive suspension, automatic high beams, a blind-spot warning system, a sunroof, power flip-and-fold second-row seats and a heated steering wheel. Options include power-retractable side steps and a rear-seat entertainment system with a single display.
The Escalade Premium adds the above options plus body-colored styling components in place of chrome, dual exhaust outlets and painted wheels.
The Escalade Platinum Edition gets a unique grille and wheels, LED headlamps, upgraded leather upholstery, extended leather interior trim, upgraded interior trim, heated and cooled cupholders and a different rear-seat entertainment system with twin headrest-mounted screens.
Leasing a Cadillac Powertrains and Performance
The 2013 Cadillac Escalade comes with a 6.2-liter V8 that produces 403 horsepower and 417 pound-feet of torque. Rear-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission are standard, but all-wheel drive is optional.
In Edmunds performance testing, an all-wheel-drive Escalade took just 7.5 seconds to go from zero to 60 mph, an impressive number for this size vehicle. Properly equipped, two-wheel-drive versions can tow a healthy 8,300 pounds. Fuel economy, as you might guess, is pretty dismal. The EPA estimates 14 mpg city/18 mpg highway and 16 mpg combined with rear-wheel drive and 13/18/15 mpg with all-wheel drive.
Safety Leasing a Cadillac
Standard Safety Leasing a Cadillac features on the 2013 Cadillac Escalade include stability and traction control, antilock disc brakes, front side-impact airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, rear parking sensors, a rearview camera and OnStar emergency telematics. A blind-spot warning system is standard on all but the base model.
In Edmunds brake testing, the Escalade came to a stop from 60 mph in 144 feet, disappointing even for a full-size luxury SUV. In government crash tests, the Escalade earned an overall rating of four out of five stars. It earned five stars for total frontal and side crash protection, but just three stars for rollover risk.
Interior Design and Special Features Cadillac Lease
The Escalade's cabin, highlighted by supple leather upholstery and attractive faux-wood and alloy trim, looks and feels more luxurious than a Tahoe or Yukon's interior. The gauges and controls are well-placed and intuitive in operation, and there are plenty of luxurious features to keep driver and passengers comfortable and entertained.
In its standard seven-passenger configuration, the big Caddy features second-row captain's chairs and a three-person third-row bench seat. Adding the available second-row bench raises total seating capacity to eight. The 50/50-split third-row seats don't provide much legroom, however, and the middle passenger must sit atop the gap between seats. The third-row seats also don't fold neatly into the floor as in most other SUVs. Instead, owners needing to carry bulky items are forced to either fold and tumble the entire assembly forward -- consuming precious cargo space -- or remove the heavy seats entirely.
Removing the third-row seats yields a cavernous 60.3 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second-row seats. Fold those second-row seats down and cargo capacity grows to an impressive 108.9 cubic feet.
Lease a Cadillac Driving Impressions
On the road, the 2013 Cadillac Escalade's big V8 delivers swift acceleration at all speeds. Its handling inspires confidence, especially with the active Magnetic Ride Control suspension, though you'll never mistake the Escalade for anything other than a truck-based SUV. You will appreciate the ride quality, though, as it remains comfortable even with the larger 22-inch wheels. A relatively tight turning circle helps with overall drivability, but maneuvering in tight quarters can be a chore despite the aid of the standard rearview camera.

Here's my latest creation - a hand-dyed studded Charlotte vest! Charlotte the Sweets Witch is my favourite witch from Madoka, while Mami *was* my favourite character. So after episode 3 I had some serious conflicting feelings. もぐもぐ (mogu mogu) is, of course, munch munch on poor Mami-san.
I made it by cutting off the sleeves from a denim jacket I got at Vinnie's, bleaching and dying it flamingo pink (my first time bleaching…it went okay), then filling it with gold and pink spikes. Then I just painted on Charlotte's cute widdle Murakami-esque face on with acrylic mixed with a fabric medium. Next will be a super kawaii badass bear for a kickass lolita friend.

Although Giant Salvinia continues to cover Bistineau, the local lake is at pool stage and there are no plans for a drawdown at this time.
"There is an estimated five hundred to seven hundred acres of Salvinia coverage on the lake," Evan Thames with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries told members of the Bistineau Task Force. "Lake Bistineau is ranked as the eighth body of water on the LDWF priority list for Salvinia."

Senior Circuit Judge Alfred T. Goodwin sat on the original three-judge panel that issued the Ninth Circuit's first ruling in this case, and thus Judge Goodwin qualified for the lottery to determine who would sit on the eleven-judge en banc panel. On the original three-judge panel, Judge Goodwin joined in the opinion from which Judge Kleinfeld dissented. Today, Judge Goodwin joins in Judge Kleinfeld's majority opinion for the en banc court.
Of course, today's en banc result comes as no surprise to law professor Shaun Martin of the "California Appellate Report" blog, who predicted it on the day the original three-judge panel's decision issued.
Earlier this year, law professor Richard A. Epstein posted online an article about the three-judge panel's ruling titled "Takings Law Made Hard" at SSRN.

Nickelback's Chad Kroeger Is a Total Anomaly, a Mean Canadian
Canadians are supposed to all be super nice. That's what people say when you don't want to go on vacation to Montreal, "but Canadians! They're so nice!" Local obsession and New York 1 Pat Kiernan is the perfect example of a nice Canadian guy. His Norse-like features make him simply lovable and he's funny, but not too funny.
Chad Kroegar from the much hated rock group Nickelback is the direct opposite of Pat Kiernan. This week, he told Men's Health Magazine that he convinced the band's drum tech to stick his penis into a whirring metal fan. He is the worst Canadian possible, a mean Canadian.
Just in case anyone needed another reason.

The Boardman school district has done its best to be fiscally responsible, administrators say, but with open enrollment and other options pulling students away and state cuts to student funding, the district seeks the help of the voters in May.
"When you're providing an [state-rated] 'excellent' education, what reward are we getting from the state of Ohio?" said Richard Santilli, treasurer for the district.
With no idea what the biennium budget will bring, the district has been watching all expenses. It is down 35 teaching positions, bringing it to 286 teachers despite being "consistent in being good stewards with our money," Santilli said.
The district is asking for renewal of a 5.9-mill, five-year operating levy. This levy, which first was passed in 2003, generates $4,643,763 annually. "It goes to our electricity bill, our utility bill, salaries, whatever we need to keep the district going," said Superintendent Frank Lazzeri.
As for improving the schools, the district also is putting a 1.6-mill, five-year levy on the ballot to replace a current one that has lost millage because of the loss of commercial and personal-property revenues, according to Santilli. This permanent-improvement levy was passed originally in 1988 but since has dropped from the original 1.6 mills to 1 mill of revenue for the district. The levy currently raises $821,219, and the replacement would bring in an additional $480,000.
The replacement would cost the owner a nickel a day, Lazzeri said, or $18.25 annually for the owner of a $100,000 home.
The additional money would go toward more security measures within the district, including new entrances and a new communication system between classrooms.
Part of the reason additional dollars are needed is because of a reinvestment in infrastructure that was made to make outdoor classrooms on Stadium Drive and Robinwood Lane schools more secure after recent school tragedies in other parts of the nation.
"In order to do that, we borrowed against future revenues," Lazzeri said. "So about two-thirds of our revenue from the permanent-improvement fund goes to those two projects."
The district will be paying back the debt on those projects for at least the next 24 years, Santilli said. But security as a priority for students is a reason to start the projects and continue with the additional money the district hopes will be brought by the levy.
"You can't have learning going on unless the child feels safe," Lazzeri said.
How about cutting from the "top". Why does the Superintendent need two secretaries? Why are'nt jobs combined when people retire (Business Admin. job could be added into the Treasure Dept, etc.)
Umm, what part of "replacement" and "renewal" don't you understand, common?? These aren't new taxes. Unless you can't stand the thought of paying a nickel a day to live in a community with excellent rated schools. Comes out to just a bit over 18 bucks per year for you. But let me guess, you're old, retired, have medicare coverage, and you cash a social security check each month -- and you probably made good use of the public education system when your kids were young. You also use the roads, drink clean water, eat food that is safe, have the police and fire departments to protect you and your property, and an entire army to protect you from foreigner enemies - and you get all this for paying what is probably a relatively low amount in taxes, if you pay much tax at all. But now since you've taken all you could from the system and you no longer need the public schools, you rail against "new taxes" to support a school district that is rated excellent year after year. Even when what you're complaining about aren't really "new" taxes. In the business world, people and companies that produce solid results get paid, so educate yourself about the good things being done with your tax dollars. And feel free to complain about times when you rmoney is wasted. But when it's being put to good use, by people that are acting responsibly and professionally, you look like nothing more than a crazy tea bagger. Oh, and try not to be such a selfish sonavabitch next time.
I used roads,drank clean water,ate safe food, lived where had police and fire squads and have paid alot of taxes.. but taxes used to be lower.. And dont give me that inflation story because year after year local taxes have gone up and up and up, and in my opinion the value or what you get for those taxes have not increased..
And maybe shouldnt be so proud of that excellant rating.. Excellant with distinction maybe.. Take the inner cities out of the ratings and 62% of the schools have that excellant rating.... So that sounds like a c-...Maybe c+...And Double, You sound like nothing more than an Angry school teacher who worked all of 180 days last year and missed out on ur step raise you selfish greedy sonavabitch who would take the last dollar if given the chance..
I doubt any school district received an "Excellant" rating...at least I hope not. If you are going to attempt to denigrate a school district, you should at least be able to spell basic words.
I'm with you 100%.
Poland is pulling the same stuff. "Nothing new. Just renew."
Well, it was a NEW tax originally, and they know that people will always renew when they've been paying it already. They just passed a beautiful 5.9 mill levy -- an EMERGENCY they called it -- to pay for the stadium they borrowed $2.3 million for. Be glad, at least, that Boardman will pay for it will donations and not have a huge mortgage payment to Farmer's Bank for the next couple of decades.
As for the roads and the water, they both suck. Walker Mill is like a war zone. We've bought water filters for the refrigerator, shower, and hose for the garage because the water is so
And, doubled, I'm NOT on Social Security, never had kids, and have been paying school taxes most of my life. We have kindergarden teachers making over $70,000 a year in Poland. Don't you think that's a little absurd? How much homework do they have to grade "at home." When does it end . . .
Teachers have the life. Summers off.
Spring break, Christmas break ,New Years, MLK, President's Day, Memorial Day, Columbus Day and Thanksgiving break off. Paid. Full year's pay for 9 months work.
And if anyone dares to bring that up, they are screamed at that it is "for the children!!!!" What a racket.

"House of Cards" is coming to another major Baltimore institution, Mount Vernon's Peabody Institute, where the producers are expected to film one of the biggest scenes in the first 13 episodes of the series.
The $100 million Netflix production, which stars Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright, will be at the Peabody starting Tuesday, according to Richard Selden, director of marketing and communication for the institute.
The big scene is scheduled to be filmed Wednesday night with part of East Centre Street closed to traffic.
Such scheduling is, of course, subject to change.
The scene involves the characters played by Spacey and Wright exiting a Georgetown Hotel where they encounter protesters.
As to how a night-time protest might play on campus, Selden wrote in an email, "Peabody is pretty quiet during the summer, but there will be 15 young bassoonists in the dorm for Bassoon Week and 50 seniors staying in the Peabody Inn on campus for an Elderhostel-type Piano Camp. The seniors will be given eye masks and earplugs so they can Sleep like a Movie Star."
Selden said crew members have been on campus all week transforming parts of the Peabody into the Georgetown hotel lobby and plaza location it will play in the series.
"We were surprised by their interest at first, but it turns out parts of the campus are tailor-made for what they needed," Selden said in a telephone interview. "And we've enjoyed having them."
According to Selden Joel Schumacher will be directing the episode. The first two episodes were directed by executive producer David Fincher.
A spokesman for the film declined comment Friday.

Perhaps you need to point them in the direction of Poland or Kyoto or other later releases even? . I'm not a fan of their earlier stuff (pre Ricochet) either.

This is a very tough subject, as it would be much easier to say that different things happened in different places that made it more valuable and interesting all the while.
I'm of the opinion that English Film and Theater, was very important and influential between 1955 and 1965 and that it eventually took form in music. After this, I would say American Film was an influence. All of these can find threads in the wording and feelings, and even influence in the music itself.
I would think that France was pretty independent, but more open to weirdness than most folks around us. I don't think that a Heldon would have gotten released in London, because of its hardcore approach to music, which is something that Melody Maker and other magazines in London used to trash so well, including Tangerine Dream, and any bands that did not suit their definition of rock/pop/blues in music!
One other thread that runs through and is still ignored for the most part, is that the beginning of Pink Floyd and Soft Machine are tied to a house where many dignitaries lived for a while and shared more than just food and shelter. It also included various actors and actresses. And while there is a taboo about sex, there is no secret that one was gay, the other was picking up boys, and one other was making sure he scored on all the ladies and the wives! Both of these bands, and the following "Canterbury" design, was quite open musically in the style that this all came from. It's called "beat poetry" and folks like Robert Wyatt still live by it, regardless of how weird and different it is! Daevid Allen is the Ken Kesey of rock (progressive) music!
It's too easy for us to think that one is more influential than the other, but I sincerely do not think that anyone was more important in terms of lyrics, than Bob Dylan, and I find it strange that he was dis-regarded, specially when so many folks went out of their way to show this to the whole world. He is now accepted, but the influence is more on the lyrical side than musical side and it is "hidden", so to speak.
Of the less known variety, I would say Peter Hammill and Van der Graaf Generator, who are NOW, revered, but weren't in the early days, and I can tell you that for anyone around Southern California I have ever heard, I can count on one finger how many folks played his music, and he was my roomate at the time and continued to play his work even after I was gone. And I have a recording of one of the other guys on the station saying it was weird, but getting better about the album "Still Life" ... which kinda tells you how "still" their life was already centered around hit radio and top ten ... and this was a number one FM station!
The LA area, had its "big names", but of the "underground", I would say that the best influence of all was the "LA FREE PRESS" who was always given credit for being a troublemaker, but in the end, they were the ones that brought you history, when recognized a few years later! They were single handedly responsible for Frank Zappa's survival for some time until he finally hit the big time a bit later. We're talking 1968/1969 and 1970. Likewise the other wordsmiths at the time, would be the Firesign Theater in that area with the clever wording and well designed stuff satirising radio and television. They never got the credit they probably should have, but comedy is not appreciated in the "progressive" music circles, and The Goons were a huge influence on the Beatles, which you can not enjoy or appreciate until you listen to the 7 Beatles Christmas shows, and later them all having fun with Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers, in various affairs.
The Firesign Theater, in LA, if it can be said, became a sort of "symbol" for what was hip and cool and neat, and unffortunately the music for the housewives took over by the new owners of the FM stations that all sold out to the huge conglomerates, which made the study of "influence" a lot more difficult.
I can not, speak fluently the language of New York. So far, the only book I have read that is really with it, and more than clear about it's scene, is the one by Patti Smith, that you FINALLY, get the feeling that you were there! As much of the New York writers as I have read from the 1950's and 1960's, none of them are as valuable, as the bullsh*t that Andy Warhol became. And yet, you can look at Lou Reed, John Cale, and many other musicians as being influential in NY, but none of us has ever spent enough time finding out what all the bruhaha was about. In many ways, some movies tell an interesting story that we have a hard time seeing, and can not find (it's a movie?), but the similarities are still there. Hard living, etc etc.
Lastly, a lot of folks dismiss the strength and work of a lot of literature and how it affected things. If you EVER have a chance to see the film "The Trip" about Ken Kesey, you will see a very nice wonderful quote towards the end ... that is the most important part of it all and defines the difference between an "artist" and "everyone else".
It says (paraphrased) ... "... in the end, we were afraid, of experience, and learning! It wasn't the drugs."
And guess what most bands and crappy music ended up stuck on? Not the value, but the crap!
... none of the hits, none of the time ... you might actually find your own art, or self, and forego lousy heroes or Guru's!

Thing is, I find TD's 1980s output to sound more dated than their 1970s records for some reason. Of course this is more a matter of personal comfort zones than anything else, and they do seem to have regularly modernized their sound on a regular basis. It's just that I think Poland's sound screams "1980s" in a way Ricochet's doesn't scream "1970s" loudly.
Also, as usual moshkito's post about how the innovations in music and how they fit into the greater cultural context of its day - this time concerning the people who were influential on the extra-musical factors behind prog history - is well worth the time reading.

Ok I see To me anything with Mellotrons sounds dated but actually that isn't a 'problem' as I see it. I also like the retro approach TD have taken on recent albums.

Thanks a bunch. I try my best, but this is one area that's really hard to discuss in a pop music board, when folks do not go to movies, theater, concerts (except their favorite beat (off?), or have any inkling that there are many other arts out there other than American Idol or English Hero or Italian Goon!
If they were quoting Shakespeare I probably wouldn't care. But if they are quoting the telephone book or the top ten list, then yeah ... it's fun!

Excellent! I was going to suggest Alice Cooper myself....I saw his "School's Out" Chicago show in Chicago, 28 July, 1972 with Captain Beyond opening the show! The theatrics employed were amazing, and, for that era, a bit shocking (Alice hanging himself onstage).
Actually, by the OP's criteria, Alice might not count, as they were hugely popular and financially successful.
In the USA, the band MC5 is credited as influencing many heavy metal, punk and hard rock acts.

I am not sure that a song that got your rox going, and spoke for all the things you did not like in your high school is a good choice for this. Even I, bought the album for it! AND I was already out of high school, but the song spoke for a voice that I still had and some of the sad/disgusting things that happened to me in high school, with teachers that are better fit to be garbage collectors, than they are instructors for children!
Shock rock was around for a lot longer, and even Elvis was a serious problem. The TV set would NEVER shoot or film anything from his waste on down, because it was considered lewd. And of course, the movies took that and sensationalized it even more, until it got to the 60's and we didn't care anymore, and saw many musicians do a lot more than just swing their butt! And women, too!
I like to say that "shock" has been a part of theater and film for hundreds of years. And of course, there is no better "shock" than Orson Welles, that got a whole country scared poopless in America! That ought to tell you how intelligently gullible the majority of the audience really was and is capable of being, which STILL is an issue today!
But hidden artists, or those who were not quite known, I do think that we have to go back the the beginning of the century to give you a good description, but not mentioning the film maker that aimed a gun at your face in the film and shot ... and half the audience screamed and walked out ... means you have no idea!
... none of the hits, none of the time ... you might actually find your own art, or self, and forego lousy heroes or Guru's!

Should employers not hire you or fire you when they discover your bad credit history?
It has been a sad situation for me and many others in the USA (I don't know if this is an issue worldwide) I have great qualifications and work experience. Yet, in the majority of states you are obligated to submit to a criminal background check which is completely understandable, but that also includes a credit check. I understand that a credit check should be mandatory for executive, banking, casinos and industries directly involving money. Sadly, those of us with bad credit are being discriminated for regular jobs i.e. retail, call centers, customer service.
The government, banks and debt collectors wants their money, as they should. Yet, if you have bad credit, it's a lot harder to find a job making it impossible to get out of debt, let alone be a productive citizen.
This is an issue that is not widely discussed, I've searched online and there are some bills being proposed to end this discrimination but I don't think is really going anywhere.
I would like to have the TED community input in the most civil way possible.

Feb 28 2013: Actually, I believe that because of your bad credit history they have to hire you and keep you, nothing else!
I imagine myself as a employer. I have a CV of a really qualified person for position that I have vacant. With big experience. With recommendation letters. And with bad credit history. I will hire him with no doubts because he is not only qualified and experienced, but also he will work hard and value his job because he has to pay his depts!

Sizing Information
- Dimensions: 13.00"(L) x 8.00"(W) x 5.50"(H)
This bag is designed for use on removable passenger seats or cowlings on sportbikes which are typically very narrow. The manufacturer does not provide fitment information based on a maximum seat width measurement but I would say any seat over 8-9 inches wide would be a problem.
Our Two Cents
Joe Rocket calls this a tail bag, we classify luggage with this type of mounting system as a "seat bag". The adjustable Velcro strap mounting system on the Manta Tail Bag allows this bag to be attached to removable rear passenger seats and luggage racks. This mounting system is ideal if you have a high mount or undertail exhaust. A simple, inexpensive seat bag with a built in rain cover and non slip / non scratch mounting base.
Happy Customers Who Bought This Product
Location: California
I love this bag. It fits perfectly on the back seat of my CBR600RR. It is secure and doesn't move. It doesn't touch the paint so it won't scratch. I can fit my keys, hat, gloves, cleaning cloth, earplugs, wallet, sunglasses, etc. Thanks!
Location: Vancouver, Canada
Thanks for the tail bag - holds my camera and a little tripod just perfectly, and it looks great too! The velcro fastening that goes under the rear seat is easy to use and quite secure.

The UW Green Bay Phoenix may have found a successor to Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year Alec Brown. Head Coach Brian Wardle announced on Monday Green Bay has signed 6-11, 240 center Henry Uwadiae from Kirkwood Community College in Iowa. The native of Nigeria has an impressive 7-5 wingspan and Wardle said he is a physical offensive player, a good shot blocker and he's athletic enough to run the floor. Uwadiae originally signed with Wichita State but did not meet academic requirements. He led Kirkwood to a 21-10 record last season and because Uwadiae arrives from a junior college, the sophomore will have immediate eligilbilty with the Phoenix beginning this fall.

Its really good. There's definitely a potential of this being an awesome game,but this one is quite dull. Graphics are already excellent,so perhaps you could put more enemies,add some upgrades,add a little more pace and challenge into the sequel.

very good for a first attempt though I highly recomend changing the name due to the fact there arleadt is an O.R.B out there standing for off-world resource base and it is a game owned by a major company and this may be standing for a lawsuite, so yea, just a recomendation. :) (i know about the game because i own a copy of it)
Thanks for checking it out. As for the previously released ORB game, good looking out. We'll stay with what we have and if an issue ever arrives, we'll just call it something else or just remove the "."'s and call it ORB. Thanks for checking out the game.

A little dull, but a good first try. Just need to innovate, and you'l be all good.
Thanks for checking it out!
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars October 18, 2011
If this weren't a computer game, I'd attach it to a horse. If you know why that's a relevant statement, good job, I don't care.
Enemies commonly spawn outside of my range of fire, on the sides of the screens.
Blue enemies do not damage player at all.
green orbs are okay
missiles damage regardless of impact.
When three missiles spawn on the far edge, and no green orbs appear, Chuck Norris kills a kitten and nails it to your bedpost.

Harold Robbins and Junius Podrug
Adult Fiction ROBBINS
Summary: Art investigator Madison Dupre knew the offer was too good to be true: $20,000 for a quick trip to Dubai, the fantastic Arabian Nights city on the Persian Gulf. The call came from Sir Henri Lipton, a man who was supposed to be dead--and who she sincerely had hoped was burning in hell because he had ruined her career before his violent "demise." He told her only one tantalizing thing about the piece of art: "Let's just say it's a couple thousand years old and was buried with Christ." The fact the offer came from a man wanted on three continents for art looting was fair warning that there would be a catch. But with credit collectors and an avaricious landlord pounding at her door, Madison listened when the devil whispered magic words in her ear: $20,000- cash - upfront. There was a catch, of course. A number of them. Sir Henri was up to his neck in conspiracies and needed someone to deflect the danger onto--not to mention frame for the most audacious art theft in history. Dubai, a city that has been called Las Vegas on steroids, would just be the first stop for Madison on a quest that takes her to an ancient Mesopotamian city, the dark streets of exotic Istanbul, Venice at Carnival time, and a cathedral where the most sacred object of Christendom is stored. Along the way, she finds romance in the arms of a Russian agent who she doesn't trust--and can't resist.

Living Kidney Donation
For many patients, a donated living kidney is their best hope for long-term survival. Living kidneys tend to last longer than those procured after a person dies, and the waiting time for a living kidney is much shorter. At the MUSC Transplant Center, we strive to make the best possible match between a living donor and the transplant recipient. We ask transplant patients to talk to family members and friends about donating a kidney, since most potential donors want their kidney to go to someone they know. Find out who can be a donor. (En español)
The Live Donor Exchange Program is also an option for those interested in donating a kidney to an unknown recipient. Through this program, the donor's kidney goes to a patient who would come to the MUSC Transplant Center for the transplant. These exchanges can be anonymous. For more information about living kidney donation, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Living Kidney Donation Steps
Those interested in donating a kidney:
Once these steps are completed successfully, we schedule surgery to transfer the living kidney from the donor to the transplant recipient.
Financial Concerns
The donor should not be billed for the evaluation or kidney removal.
Laparoscopic Kidney Removal
One of the factors that makes the MUSC Transplant Center an ideal place for a living kidney donation is our surgeons' extensive experience with laparoscopic kidney removal, of the kidney though the use of a laparoscope. This minimally-invasive technique allows donors to recover faster, with less pain, thereby making it easier to donate a living kidney.
The MUSC Transplant Center has performed more than five hundred living kidney transplants. To see specific data about these life-saving transplants, contact the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS).
Find out about other living kidney donation resources.
Please read about living kidney donations in the May 2009 issue of The Mind and Body e-newsletter.

El Paso, TX (KDBC) — Researchers at UTEP are developing a treatment to remove harmful chemicals found in everyday products from water.
The compounds called EDC's are found in plastics, detergents and pesticides.
According to researchers, these chemicals are capable of causing reproductive problems in humans and wildlife.
There are currently no regulations that require removal of EDC's but the team hopes this research will provide water utilities around the world with an effective treatment process.

So much for THAT post
I was going to post a list of team nicknames today, but unfortunately movable type ate my article when I attempted to publish it. So, instead you're left with this minor update:
According to ESPN 1000 out of Chicago, Joe Borowski is back to only throwing in the mid 80's. I haven't seen anything more about that in the official news sources, so let's hope that's not true. If it IS true, then hopefully Hendry will secure a closer through a trade, or hopefully Dempster will be adequate.
I'll try to write and post the nickname article again tomorrow.


text: content December 15, 2009 Curcumin and bioperine target breast cancer stem cells An article published online on November 7, 2009 in the journal Breast Cancer Research and Treatment reveals the discovery by scientists at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center that curcumin, a compound derived from the spice turmeric, and piperine from black pepper help inhibit the growth of stem cells that fuel breast cancer. Stem cells are unspecialized cells that can develop into any type of cell in a particular organ. In their introduction to the article, University of Michigan Medical School clinical lecturer Madhuri Kakarala, MD, PhD, RD and colleagues explain that "The cancer stem cell hypothesis asserts that malignancies arise in tissue stem and/or progenitor cells through the dysregulation or acquisition of self-renewal." According to this hypothesis, the recurrence of cancer after chemotherapy is due to the drugs' ineffectiveness against cancer stem cells. Accordingly, eliminating cancer stem cells and reducing the amount of normal stem cells could decrease cancer risk. The researchers compared the effects of varying concentrations of curcumin and piperine, alone and in combination, to a control substance administered to cultured breast epithelial cells. The amounts of curcumin and piperine employed were the equivalent of approximately 20 times the potency of what could be consumed through one's diet. They found a reduction in markers for breast stem cells in cultures treated with the lowest concentration of curcumin, and complete inhibition at twice that concentration. Piperine also demonstrated an inhibitory property, although the effects were not as pronounced as those elicited by curcumin. However, the addition of piperine to curcumin resulted in a reduction in stem cells that was greater than either agent alone, while having no effect on normal cell development or viability. "This shows that these compounds are not toxic to normal breast tissue," Dr Kakarala remarked. The report is the first to conclude that curcumin and bioperine could help prevent cancer by targeting stem cells. This mechanism has the potential to prevent estrogen-sensitive tumors as well as more aggressive non-estrogen dependent cancers. "If we can limit the number of stem cells, we can limit the number of cells with potential to form tumors," Dr Kakarala noted. "Women at high risk of breast cancer right now can choose to take the drugs tamoxifen or raloxifene for prevention, but most women won't take these drugs because there is too much toxicity. The concept that dietary compounds can help is attractive, and curcumin and piperine appear to have very low toxicity." Breast cancer Curcumin has a number of biological effects in the body. However, one of the most important functions is curcumin's ability to inhibit growth signals emitted by tumor cells that elicit angiogenesis (growth and development of new blood vessels into the tumor). Curcumin inhibits the epidermal growth factor receptor and is up to 90% effective in a dose-dependent manner. It is important to note that while curcumin has been shown to be up to 90% effective in inhibiting the expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor on cancer cell membranes, this does not mean it will be effective in 90% of cancer patients or reduce tumor volume by 90%. However, because two-thirds of all cancers overexpress the epidermal growth factor receptor and such overexpression frequently fuels the metastatic spread of the cancer throughout the body, suppression of this receptor is desirable. Other anticancer mechanisms of curcumin include: Inhibition of the induction of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), which is both a potent growth signal (mitogen) for many cancers and an important signaling factor in angiogenesis (Arbiser et al. 1998). Antioxidant activity. In vitro it has been shown to be stronger than vitamin E in prevention of lipid peroxidation (Sharma 1976; Toda et al. 1985). Inhibition of the expression of COX-2 (cyclooxygenase 2), the enzyme involved in the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE-2), a tumor-promoting hormone-like agent (Zhang et al. 1999). Inhibition of a transcription factor in cancer cells known as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-KB). Many cancers overexpress NF-KB and use this as a growth vehicle to escape regulatory control (Bierhaus et al. 1997; Plummer et al. 1999). Increased expression of nuclear p53 protein in human basal cell carcinomas, hepatomas, and leukemia cell lines. This increases apoptosis (cell death) (Jee et al. 1998).

Johnson, RN, BSN Theaflavin Standardized Extract An increasing number of scientists recognize the critical need to protect the arterial wall against low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation and inflammatory insults. Research has shown that unique extracts present in black tea called theaflavins can have multiple applications for arterial health. Theaflavin Standardized Extract contains a number of beneficial flavonoids found naturally in tea leaves that help support levels of cholesterol that are already within the normal range. Theaflavins have been shown in human studies to protect against LDL oxidation and favorably affect endothelial function, thus helping to maintain healthy circulation. Liquid Emulsified Vitamin D Vitamin D has long provided significant support for healthy bone density. However, scientists have also validated the critical role that vitamin D plays in regulating healthy cell division and differentiation, and its profound effects on human immunity. These findings link a deficiency of vitamin D to a host of common age-related problems. The current RDA is only 400 IU. As a result of startling evidence of a widespread vitamin D deficiency, prominent nutritional scientists are calling on Americans to increase their vitamin D intake to 1000 IU per day and higher. Currently, most experts in the field believe that intakes of between 1000 and 4000 IU for adults will lead to a more healthy level of serum 25(OH)D, at approximately 75 nmol/L.

Is Philosophy dead?
Was it buried beneath pragmatic scientific discourse? Stabbed through the heart by the stake of probability. Is there any room for conjecture in the button down business of modern scientific thought? In the world of proof, what is the point of pondering?
I sometimes chuckle and think philosophers and theologians are off in a corner somewhere playing chess, while the scientific community is haphazardly reinventing our reality.
Is there truth in the evident, or are we chasing our own tail?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Sep 25 2013: Interesting! May we define philosophy as attempts to reconcile material with spiritual realities?
What is philosophy to a person adamantly concluding there is nothing spiritual or there are no spiritual realities?
How is philosophy useful for persons who adamantly conclude all answers might be found in science and material studies but cannot explain everything, as you say?
Mysteries abound! Who will find the answers or the pathway to answers without philosophy?
Sep 25 2013: Mark, I don't concern myself with spiritual things except to say I believe in God and have seen the evidence. I only believe in philosophy that is logical to me and can be explained. I have no faith or religion. I also do not believe in science that can not be proven. As far as I am concerned if there is no proof it does not exist to me.
My original comment was meant to be joke but the more I rewrote it the more truth it took on.

Sep 29 2013: Most of scientist I ever met are egocentric, extremely biased, and have no clue about life outside of the lab. The argument is pointless. There is no science without philosophy, same as there is no theory that cannot be disproved at some point. Empirical evidence has the value, but it cannot be systemically studied without philosophical idea. The subject of discussion is nonsense. Interestingly enough, Bayesian and classical statistics have philosophical discourse, not mathematical.
Sep 25 2013: Bryan Maloney I will have my professional working scientist friends check out your working professional scientist colleagues, friends, relatives and accomplices and if I find anything that interests me I will get back to you.
I've read part of your resume and I'm happy you are doing great work with Alzheimer's which I am beginning to suffer from also but you may want to lighten up a bit, sometimes a spoon works better than a hammer. I am retired and on disability but I have been studying computers and how the brain functions since 1967. I have no degrees or interest in them and yet I have been teaching everything from children to Professors to Buddhist monks for most of my life. My interests are varied like yours and my principles based in philosophy.

One man is dead after officials say he fell off of a truck bed.
More charges are being filed against a Florida woman arrested for identity theft in south Georgia.
We know more about the odd scheme Echols County investigators say she used to steal people's identities and run up thousands of dollars of purchases in their names. WALB News 10's Lydia Jennings takes us to the community that became the center of the investigation.
24-year-old Ashley Humphrey is accused of stealing more then $20,000 in the past three months from people in Echols County. Investigators say she was having mail and packages sent to addresses in a mobile home park.
"The tenets had been receiving mail in other people's name and someone had been coming to pick up the mail and it was strange, it didn't look right to them," said Sheriff Randy Courson.
Tuesday afternoon an Echols County Sheriff's detective was investigating the complaints at the mobile home park. And as chance would have it, Humphrey was there picking up a package.
On Tuesday she picked up $900 worth of iPhones.
The detective pulled her over and found multiple credit cards and billing statements in other peoples names in her car. They say she was signing up for credit cards in their names and had her purchases delivered to the homes.
"My dad did see a woman checking our mailboxes. She was looking through all of them and getting mail and as soon as she saw him she ran off," said resident Dinorah Rodriguez.
Humphrey was traveling from Jasper, Florida to pick up the mail. Rodriguez says she thinks their community was a target because it's right off Highway 129 and the mailboxes are all connected.
"Of all the people she's been manipulating and taking their identities, making their credit scores just go down the drain, its just not right, its not fair for anyone," said Rodriguez.
Humphrey also faces multiple counts of identity fraud charges in Lowndes County and Hamilton County, Suwannee County, Florida. Echols investigators say they don't think she was working alone. More arrests may be coming.
In Echols County, Humphrey is charged with three counts of identity fraud and one of attempting and conspiring to commit identity theft.
They're all felonies, and investigators plan to file more charges. She's booked in the Lowndes County jail.
