Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Wallace Gilberry is playing the best football of his career right now, and it comes in his sixth season in the NFL. But it's also the most stable situation he's ever been in, and that's helped him become a solid rotational DE as he's notched 8.5 sacks since signing with the Bengals last year in Week 2.
Before coming to Cincinnati, he played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and new head coach Greg Schiano, who he didn't hesitate to open up about today:
"When I was in Tampa, it was frustrating. The whole situation. From the time I got there until the time I left," Gilberry told reporters, via the Bengals official web site. "They released me twice. They cut me on the field at practice after the final cuts. I was on the field, ready to practice in pads and everything. Schiano came on the field and got me. 'Hey, we've got to release you.'
"I flew home to Alabama and they called me the next morning. 'We made a mistake. We want to bring you back.' They signed me back. I made the opening day roster. My contract was guaranteed, and then they cut me again after Week 1. Schiano's a joke, as you can see."

Attempting to embrace every extremist fringe group as the answer to winning elections is just wrong. Chris Christie may not fit that mold (or fit any mold) but he isn't a conservative by anyone's definition. This is really a case of the Republican Party abandoning conservative values and being left with nothing to hang their hat on.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- St. Louis Rams defensive end Chris Long knew he wasn't lifting weights enough, but he had cut back in an effort to maximize his speed and explosiveness for the NFL Scouting Combine and never adjusted after the draft.
New York Jets tight end Dustin Keller knew he wasn't eating right, but he couldn't cook to save his life, and it was easier to just go to restaurants while managing everything else associated with his first season in the league.
Then there was Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Harry Douglas, who spent the final month before the start of his first NFL training camp on vacation, neglecting conditioning work related to football.
Only one year removed from their inaugural pro seasons, these members of the 2008 draft class were ideal resources to inform the 256 members of the Class of 2009 gathered at the 13th annual NFL Rookie Symposium about what to expect in the months ahead.
Long, Keller, Douglas and Denver Broncos wide receiver Eddie Royal comprised a panel called "Transitioning to the NFL." In offering all sorts of helpful advice, they also were quick to admit their mistakes, which provided some of the best lessons of all.
"From Day 1, my strength wasn't where I wanted it to be last year," said Long, who started slowly but improved on the way to registering four sacks.
"You go to the combine and you're all of a sudden off your college weight program and you're not doing heavy weights," Long added. "You're doing speed stuff and (working on having more) explosion because there's a big emphasis on that at the combine. Then you get into this groove where you say, 'I don't have to lift heavy weights anymore.' If somebody's not making you, you're not going to put 500 pounds on your back to squat.
"And I never really got back into that routine, even during the season. In college, they're watching and they make you do the things you need to do in the weight room. But in the pros, if you're not careful, you kind of let yourself go a little bit sometimes in the weight room. You say, 'Oh, I'm tired, my body hurts, maybe I should lighten up.' But you need to emphasize staying heavy with the weights and doing the things that got you here because it's the same grind or more in the pros. You're going to need that strength."
You're also going to need proper nutrition, which Keller found out the hard way. During the season, the Jets, like other NFL teams, serve players breakfast and lunch but not dinner (which is served during training camp). By going out to restaurants every night, Keller, who is single, began following a diet that wasn't conducive to allowing him to be in top physical shape. Nor did it help with his stamina.
He finally spoke with a cook at the Jets' training facility who came up with the idea of preparing a couple of healthy meals that he froze for Keller and other players to prepare at their homes. Keller now plans to do that for the entire 2009 season.
Douglas admits he "kind of messed up" last July, after Falcons coach Mike Smith informed his players they would have the month off and wouldn't be required to do any football activity until training camp began. Douglas traveled and, other than playing some basketball with his brother, did nothing to help his performance on the field.
"To be ahead of the game, going into camp, you still have to do repetitions on football things, speed work, hand drills, routes if you're a receiver and work out like you do as if you were back home with your club," Douglas said. "That's what I'm going to do this year. I'm taking a week off, but as soon as I get back, I'm going to get back into the groove so that I can be ahead when I hit camp."
"This is your job," Royal said. "Nothing else needs to be more important than football. Spending that extra time at the (team) facility shouldn't matter. You shouldn't have anything more important that you've got to get to than taking care of your body because your body is what's going to make you your money."
Another harsh reality that rookies discover is finding out that what allowed them to have success in college doesn't necessarily mean success in the NFL. A rookie must develop techniques that allow him to succeed at the next level.
It isn't, as Long pointed out, so much a case of veteran opponents "knocking you out of your cleats." Rookies can take and deliver hits with the best of them. It's the way the vets go about their business based on years of NFL experience.
As a defensive lineman, Long initially found himself ill-prepared to deal with a quick punch to the chest from then-Rams offensive tackle Orlando Pace, one of the game's very best at his position.
"For all the D-linemen out there, you made all these spectacular moves in college, and I did, too," said Long, a former Virginia standout. "They're not going to work here. It's a terrible feeling, but it's empowering to know what you can do with technique."
Rookies often find themselves in a position where, in order to make the final roster, they must perform better than veteran teammates. But that doesn't mean they can't seek the veterans' help and guidance.
As far as Royal is concerned, it's one of the most important steps a rookie can take on the road to success.
"You've got to reach out to these guys; you can't be shy," said Royal, who led all rookies and ranked seventh in the NFL with 91 catches for 980 yards and five touchdowns. "These guys are willing to help. They're your teammates and they want what's best for you and the team. Listen to the veterans. Talk to that guy. It's a long season, and you really need that guy to kind of help you get through it."
Keller leaned heavily on Jets fullback Tony Richardson, who was in his 14th season last year.
"As soon as I got there, I started picking his brain," Keller said. "He must have been doing something right to play at that (demanding) position for so long."

Best Racquets ever
I wanted to tryout this racquet and it was one of the best racquet I ever I bought
No Vibrations
I hate to say it, I'm not getting any younger. This racket is saving my elbow due to the minimal vibrations, and the ability to use a long, smooth swing without the ball sailing. Nice control and touch.
Elbow racquet
Hi everybody, I bought this special racquet due to a tennis elbow. And after a few hours of training, I am very glad an surprised of the performance of my swing an power. I need a little more time to figure out the benefits the impact on the elbow.
very solid
I bought this racket because of the oversized head and the control it provides. As a senior who has still hits fairly hard this racket provides everything i need. The oversized head is very forgiving and solid and i can hit out and still have control. I couldnt be more pleased.
Head MicroGel Radical Oversize Tennis Racquet
I have been playing the Radical Tour since the mid 1990's and wore it out. This MicroGel OS racket is vastly superior in every way: its sweet spot seems very large; groundstrokes are easy to control whether hit with topspin, flat, or slice; it is very manoeuvrable making volleys and service returns effortless.
Great racquet for arm problems
This racquet was recommended by a tennis website for people who suffer from tennis elbow and other arm problems. After demo-in a couple of racquets, I decided to buy this racquet along with the recommended Wilson NXT 16 string.
nice racquet
Very nice racquet, the sweet spot is a little smaller than my previous racquet, so it takes a little getting used to. the control is great. difinitely recommend this racquet for big hitters

Terlizzi is a town and comune in Apulia, Italy, in the province of Bari, to the west of the city of Bari, situated in the midst of a fertile plain. As of 2008, its population was some 27,400.
Terlizzi is first mentioned in a 8th century AD document, when its Lombard possessor donated the area to the Abbey of Montecassino. After the Byzantine domination, from the 11th century Trelizzi was under the influence of the counts of Giovinazzo, whose member Amico fortified both the cities.

Sometimes overlooked in the trends and tech in the information management space is the way careers are transformed (or merely relabeled). One such role that enterprises are attempting to get a handle on is the Chief Data Officer. Professor and industry adviser Peter Aiken estimates that only about 10 percent of CIOs "know what they're doing" when it comes to managing data as an asset, and he's aiming to reframe data's leader in the enterprise in his new book, "The Case of the Chief Data Officer." Information-management.com recently talked with Aiken on the expectations and challenges of changing enterprise data roles, from the CDO and the CIO and beyond.

I agree with Narshe, I hope a lot of the music is at least recognisable from the game, even if its only to the extent of a few key themes popping up every so often (like how a tiny part of Crockett's Theme from the Miami Vice series could be heard briefly in the 2006 movie version) then I'll be happy... maybe.
I also think it would make a far stronger storyline and more long-lasting, possibly even "respectable" (to outsider critics) movie if both horde and alliance were given equal opportunities to just show themselves for what they are in game, rather than just becomming hollywood stereotype good guys/bad guys.
But yes, Nelfs and Belfs must have mail bikinis! And while we're at it, maybe we could also get an explanation of why Tauren females have boobs instead of udders :S

It's easy to dislike Jay Cutler. He, the Chicago quarterback of perpetual grumpiness (although Smokin' Jay Cutler was magical), completely great or completely terrible performances, and just enough talent and underachieving to make someone unhappy, has plenty of critics. This year, he's been at it again. He feuded with coaches on the sideline. He called out teammates (also on the sidelines). He was great and then stunk, and then was great and then stunk again. He's at the center of "Is he a great quarterback?" discussions — if the critics aren't more concerned with "Why doesn't he smile at staff on his way to games?" (seriously, Tom Jackson). But maybe we need to stop making fun of Jay Cutler for being so very Jay Cutler (this photo captures it all) and look at the more vital matter of what he means to Chicago as the Bears' quarterback. Plenty of people want to look at Cutler's good games and call him elite or focus on his bad ones and call him terrible. But the only question that ma

DataObjectManager 2.4beta Compatability
12 February 2010 at 2:05am
Hi Uncle Cheese
Now that 2.4 beta is released and we definitely don't have a jsparty folder, do you have any idea/guesstimate on when a dataobject_manager [et al] module update might be released that addresses this (and possibly any other 2.4 clashes) ?
I've been dev'ing in 2.4 and just came across some issues.. leading me to here, only now realising that DOM is not yet 2.4 compatible. Of course I understand that working with a beta build comes hand in hand with compatability issues such as this... but even still, dang!
Thanks for an excellent handful of such useful modules, definitely appreciate the hard work you've put in to them

Yeah, one of the SS guys actually patched it for me, since he was doing a 2.4 alpha project for a client. It requires that I set up a new 2.4 branch of DOM and I've just been loath to getting around to doing that. I'll probably wait until 2.4 is stable.

Sorry UC, I forgot to subscribe to the topic <forehead-slap>
Thanks for getting back to me. Totally understand. I'm definitely waiting on the edge of my seat for that 2.4 branch, but won't hold my breath till 2.4 stable is out the door.
thanks again

Hi UncleCheese,
Would it be possible for you to post the patch in the meantime? I have to get started on a project that requires 2.4.

The 2.4 patch is in, pending testing from my gracious base of users. Anyone want to update and give it a try?
Re: DataObjectManager 2.4beta Compatability
16 March 2010 at 4:20pm
Hey UC, I haven't had a full chance to put it through its paces, but my brief update and test shows Sorting (ie drag/drop sorting) working great!
I have a chance tonight to give DOM a more thorough test, will let you know if I hit any issues. Currently I'm testing on the latest in /branches/2.4 as of Sunday night just gone.
Thanks for getting this patch into the repo!! Mucho appreciated

Druid was the very first class I ever played. Years ago, before my friend successfully talked me into playing WoW, I tried out a female Tauren druid on a trial account. I don't I even got to 10 on her. No idea where she is now; I don't remember what that trial account was registered under and I had no conception of realms at the time. I rolled another female Tauren druid, who I only got to 22, once I started playing again.
If I weren't playing now playing Alliance on a different PvP realm, I might roll another druid, but I don't really like nelfs. I'm also a little concerned about joining the fotm crowd and rolling a druid. Maybe some day I'll go back to playing Horde and make a druid main.
Of course, my main's a shaman and I'm currently leveling a prot warrior, so there might not be much reason for me to have a druid as I have the roles covered. But I do love their lore, although I wish it had more Tauren flavor (I believe 'em when they say they were the first druids; frickin' stupid nelfs).

Survey: Do You Drink Alcohol With Lunch?
Alcohol with lunch? Well, why not? Why not a nice white wine to go with your salad, or a crisp IPA to accompany that sandwich?
When I'm in Europe, it seems so normal to have a glass of wine or a beer with lunch. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do;" it seems much more common in European countries to have a glass of alcohol with lunch. However, back home, I rarely have alcohol for lunch unless it's a special occasion. We no longer live in the three-martini lunch era (and who got work done during those times, anyway?!) and American culture seems to shy away from alcohol at lunch.

would if i could. the job probably would frown upon that.
Always have..the joy of working for European companies!
this has been a rough week. it might be a liquid lunch for me. usually, just on weekends, today, well...
Against company policy, so no. Not sure if that would be a good idea anyway. Alcohol makes me sleepy... that along with a nice carby filling sandwich and I'm out for the count. I'll stick with my beer/wine at dinner.
I seriously considered it yesterday, after mailing off my income tax return.
But - a glass of work during a workday can be bad. If it gets busy, I find it difficult to focus. So, I usually forego Monday - Friday, although occasionally (like once a year) I indulge.
Can't do it. Even when I lived in Paris. I just can't function in the afternoon post-vino. I have had a beer on rare, rare occasions, generally in a mood of defiance, and really, nothing gets done the rest of the day.
I'm a lightweight.
Following the "when in Rome..." maxim has its limits. Working in London for a summer, many people at the office did regular Friday pub lunches. I drank at lunch a few times, but my typically Asian alcohol tolerance (half-pint = drunk off my ass) made it impossible to work afterwards.
On the other hand, I would regularly have a glass of wine with lunch while traveling in Spain...followed by the customary siesta.
Can't...a bit illegal to see patients after a liquid lunch. I do partake in happy hour regularly, though!
Here in the US we can't, but even if we could I probably wouldn't. I work at work and I relax at home. Keeps my life less stressed. Mixing business and pleasure never works, right?
Nope.. not at lunch.. or ever!
But my boss and co-workers will pack in a few beers if we go out to lunch. Sometimes a few too many, which leads to some afternoon entertainment - one coworker can be pretty surly when he's had a few!
I like to have beer at lunch. I rarely drink anything stronger than that before 4.
On weekends sometimes, when I didn't work in an office, sometimes. Here at the cubical farm? Never.
I will occasionally have a beer with lunch (usually if it's a later lunch), but not if I actually have to work or deal with class afterward.
For a lazy summer afternoon on vacation though, why not?
Yeah, there needs to be another button:
"Only on weekends and vacation"
Its a rare occassion during the workweek but it has happened in the past; much more likely on the weekends.
At my last job, intoxication at work was grounds for immediate firing.
Now, I'm in kind of a dead zone, food-wise... I have a sushi place next door with no liquor license (weird in Quebec, but they do have a lot of underage student traffic), and a cafe on the other side. So, no booze for me.
i'm lucky enough to be a student for one more month. liquid lunches (and breakfasts) are pretty common
What brittanykate said. Even then it has to be something very very low alcohol, or I probably would fall asleep right away.
@patrick (the other one) - I hear ya ... :(
I did occasionally in grad school, and I will if I find myself on a patio during lunch hour on a warm day. On summer weekends (weather permitting), my uncle invites a bunch of us on the boat, and we'll sit there and sip on crisp white wine and mimosas all afternoon. But then I think weekend lunch hour is far different from weekday lunch hour.
Everything in moderation.
On the weekend, yes. Weekdays, no.
When the government standardizes afternoon naps at our nation's workplaces, I'll happily indulge in a glass of wine with my weekday lunch.
On the weekends or when on vacation, totally! Especially on vacation.. so relaxing :)
in grad school, i'd often have a beer with lunch. it made those afternoon classes much easier to handle. :) one beer was just enough to mellow me out, not enough to inebriate.
I have done it before, but for me alcohol with lunch is something that only happens once every few years. I'm usually more in the mood for a nice cup of coffee around lunchtime.
I never drink alcohol since alcoholism has a hereditary component and there are a lot of alcoholics in my family.
I actually drink alcohol with breakfast! I know what you're thinking - I work from home and get up late so my first meal winds up being close to noon, but yes I do enjoy a cold frosty one with lunch especially since I don't drink coffee or soda.
I would gladly enjoy a half-pint with lunch (a full one makes me sleepy), but it makes me feel too sneaky afterward. On weekends, yes-- I greatly prefer having an afternoon beer to an evening beer.
I'll drink at lunch or on a weekday if I'm on vacation, especially if I'm far enough from home that the available beers are significantly different. At home, I'll sometimes have a beer at 1 or 2 in the afternoon on weekends.
My work policy doesn't expressly prohibit drinking at lunch, but I can't say it is something we go out and do.
Is it me, or does one drink during the day hit harder than the same drink at night??
Are you hiring??? :)
Sure. For a while I kept a bottle of Pimm's in my office.
I don't, but only because I never think of it! When I lunch with my sister, she often orders herself a glass of wine or even a split of cava, and I think "ooooh, what a good idea!"
One glass of beer or wine won't make me sleepy or tipsy or interfere with my work; I just never think of it on my own.
so long as I don't have to work or drive or be particularly useful in the afternoon then sometimes (weekends/holidays) I have a nice glass of white wine, or some cider which is a great lunchtime drink.

Isaiah 63:7-9; Psalm 148; Hebrews 2:10-18; Matthew 2:13-23
Jeremiah 31:7-14; Ephesians 1:3-14; John 1:1-18
The question arises in some form or another almost every time I teach a course on the Bible: If God knew what a mess humanity would make of God's creation, why did God create the world as we know it? The question has force for us, as it projects our own experience onto the cosmic screen.
Luke 1:39-45 (46-55)
The greatest Christmas carol in history was not written by Irving Berlin or Nat King Cole. The greatest carol is not "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" or "White Christmas" or even "Silent Night." The greatest carol was composed 2,000 years ago by a pregnant teenage girl who was visiting her cousin Elizabeth.
Jeremiah 31:7-14; John 1:(1-9), 10-18
Whether we choose to believe it or not, we human beings are embodied creatures. There have been many times throughout the history of philosophy and religion when great thinkers have tried to minimize or deny the physicality of human existence. Simple phrases such as "mind over matter" and biblical passages such as 1 Corinthians 9:27, "but I punish my body and enslave it," have contributed to the misleading belief that we are at our best as human beings when some spiritual core that is separate from our physical nature governs our lives.
Luke 2:22-40
Luke 1 and 2 are often described as "the Lukan infancy and childhood narratives"—the stories of Jesus' birth and early childhood. That description is fine, but as Eugene Peterson has suggested, there is another way of framing the opening of Luke: these two chapters are a primer in prayer. Prayers saturate the first two chapters of Luke.
Though the liturgical calendar reminds us that it is Christmastide, a lovely 12-day season extending to Epiphany in January, you cannot live in this culture without experiencing how the air is let out of the holiday balloon on December 26. The Magi may not arrive in Bethlehem until January 6, but the culture abruptly drops the whole matter practically before Christmas Day is over.

I get to pal around with a lot of librarians while producing Bookshelf programs, and as a result of this delightful association I have received the honor and great pleasure of being asked to fill several shelves at the Downtown Library with books I want to recommend. You can imagine how much fun it was to stroll down memory lane looking for books that I had enjoyed over my lifetime. I wasn't given any restrictions, and I was asked to include children's books, too. I decided to be as broad as possible in my selections, so it's a very eclectic group. I'm avoiding books that are "good for you," even though it's tempting to try to impress people. Moby Dick is on the list because I was never forced to read it in school, so I actually like it.
I'll be happy to email you my list if you're interested. Many of the books on the list will already be checked out, and others unavailable (I'm leaning on the library to include more Linda Barry, who's seen only as a cartoonist and therefore her work is not well represented. I'm mentioning her because I think so highly of her work. The same goes for S.J. Perelman, who fell out of fashion at some point.)
As people check out books from "my" stash I can fill in with more, so I'll be adding more to the shelves. As I pushed a cart around the stacks to pull out my selections I ran across many more books and authors that weren't on my original list, and I'm adding those from time to time.
I don't know when I've had more fun. This is the best present I could possibly get.

"The latest Ford Focus proves that family hatchbacks can be fun to drive and is definitely the best to date."
The Ford Focus continues to rule the small family hatchback market for Ford in the UK, making it one of the manufacturer's biggest success stories. The latest, third-generation Focus has become as popular as its predecessors while also simultaneously taking a major step forward in reliability, efficiency and safety to offer the best Focus yet. Its biggest competition still comes from the latest Volkswagen Golf, especially in terms of that car's supreme quality, but the Focus easily knocks it for six for handling and comfort.
The standard Ford Focus comes in six main specifications – entry-level Studio and Edge models being competitively priced and great fun to drive. Mid-range Zetec and Zetec S models add quite significantly more equipment and accessories, while the S offers better handling and a sportier ride. The top-of-the-range Titanium and Titanium X cars start to become a bit more expensive than a Focus really should be (it is still a Ford, after all) but they are very well equipped for the money.
MPG, running costs & CO2
Engines are efficient and cheap to run
With the exception of the super-performing ST, every car in the Focus line-up manages to emit less than 140g/km of CO2, which is pretty incredible if you consider the sheer range of engine options to choose from. So, whichever Focus you do pick, it will be a cheap car to run. Ford has made sure that every model in the Focus family comes fitted with the latest technology and equipment to make them as efficient and environmentally friendly as possible.
We recommend looking at the 1.6-litre TDCi five-door, which emits only 88g/km of CO2 and returns a superb 83mpg in combined fuel economy. But then, the remaining three ECOnetic engines also manage to come below the 99g/km CO2 emissions mark, making them road tax exempt, too, and returning more than 70mpg at the same time. This reflects Ford's continued commitment to producing fun but efficient cars.
Interior & comfort
Suspension is firm but comfortable
The latest Focus is without doubt more comfortable than previous models, in particular its ability to iron out the bumps and potholes in the UK's uneven road surfaces. Even bigger potholes are dealt with without juddering the passengers around the inside of the car (too much, anyway).
Unless, of course, you insist on having the 17-inch or 18-inch alloy wheels from the options list installed, in which case some of the ride comfort is inevitably lost simply because the suspension is quite a lot stiffer even though handling is improved. But it never becomes uncomfortable.
Inside, all the seats are comfy and provide a decent level of back support, with the driver able to adjust their seat and the steering wheel for reach and rake in a number of directions to find that ideal driving position. This extra ability to absorb the bumps and calmly cruise along the motorway with hardly any wind or road noise to disturb, makes the Focus feels like a much larger and more luxurious car than it actually is.
Thinner windscreeen pillars at the front and the rear also make sure that visibility is great all around the car, and the high-quality premium-feel interior is logically laid out and easy to use, with a mobile phone-inspired console that does lean towards the cluttered but is still not difficult to use. We do think that high-spec models have too many buttons, though.
Practicality & boot space
The boot isn't much bigger than a Fiesta's
The dimensions of the current generation of Focus are noticeably larger than the car it replaced, which does make it more practical than it's ever been. However, that doesn't make it best in class in comparison to some of the inventive interiors and boots offered by newer pretenders to the family hatchback throne.
That is best reflected by the 316 litres offered by the boot, which is less than the class average and only a paltry 17 litres more than its sister car, the Ford Fiesta supermini, which itself falls below the supermini class average. The Focus' main competitor, the Vauxhall Astra, offers a full 54 litres extra than the Focus, with a figure that is much nearer to what you'd expect to get from this kind of car.
The Focus' greatest assets are its standard-fit split-folding rear seats, which fold flat very easily to allow easy loading of big and bulky objects. But if you really do want practically, you have to look at the estate model instead, which is much more practical.
Beyond the boot, space in the rear of the standard car is also reasonable, even for any taller passengers, with just enough knee room for a six-footer in the back to sit behind another six-footer in the front.
Reliability & safety
Extensively tested, with a five-star safety rating
The Focus' main competitor has always been the Volkswagen Golf, and the Focus has consistently come second best to it in terms of reliability. That's still holds true, but the gap has never been closer, with Ford's entire current wave of cars making significant improvements in this area. The Focus itself has had somewhat mixed fortunes, with a tendency to yo-yo up and down the Driver Power customer satisfaction survey in recent years.
The 2013 survey saw it drop 51 places down to 70th place in the top 100 list of cars. That's especially disappointing given that the Focus actually pulled off the very unusual feat of climbing 59 places up the chart to come 19th in 2012. In reality, it probably just puts the Focus about where it probably would have been if it had never reversed the usual downward trend of the survey in the first place.
Ford itself doesn't perform as well as you might think, given its status as the UK's biggest car manufacturer. It did actually improve in the 2013 survey by two places, to rank 23rd out of 32 car makers in the manufacturers rankings.
When you get inside the Focus, the interior is much better quality than its predecessors, constructed with superior plastics and studier switchgear that really do help make it feel quite a lot more premium.
Ford has also been on a big safety push – along with all the major manufacturers – and the Focus earned the maximum five-star rating in the Euro NCAP crash safety tests, with every model coming fitted with front, side and curtain airbags, lane-departure warning and a tiredness monitor as standard. Overall, the Focus isn't perfect but it is a comfortable, safe place for families to travel in.
Engines, drive & performance
Best in class for driving, with fantastic engines
For a car that has clearly been designed more with comfort and efficiency in mind rather than focused driver enjoyment, it is still remarkably fun to drive. Ford's trend of softening its models over successive generations seemingly hasn't hurt their overall quality.
The Focus remains more exciting to drive than the rivals such as the Volkswagen Golf of Vauxhall Astra thanks to its agility and the sense of fun that Ford has managed to bring over from the first two generations of the car. In the small family hatchback class, it remains the first choice of those who really enjoy driving.
You get best-in-class electric power steering and superb grip in all driving conditions that you can encounter in the UK, thanks to a technology system that redirects the power to whichever wheel needs it most to maintain grip and keep the car on track, which gives the driver greater confidence behind the wheel.
There's plenty of performance on offer from the whole range of engines, with even the 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine offering excellent acceleration as well as its frankly amazing fuel economy. The broad line-up also includes 1.6-litre petrol engines ranging from 104bhp to 180bhp, plus 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre diesels that span 95bhp to 161bhp – but please be aware that the diesel is only the best buy if you regularly clock up a lot of miles across long distances.
Price, value for money & options
Prices are high but equipment is generous
It's genuinely surprising that the Focus is as expensive as it is, with most models in the range actually costing more than those in the equivalent section of the Volkswagen Golf range. Admittedly, you do get more equipment and accessories for that extra money in the Focus, even in the base Studio entry-level model.
Ignoring the performance-focused Ford Focus ST hot hatchback you can get the Focus in six main specifications – the Studio, then Edge, which comes fitted with digital radio, air-conditioning, Bluetooth connectivity, electric windows and central locking as standard, followed by mid-range Zetec models that include 16-inch alloys, a quick-clear windscreen and heated door mirrors, and the top-of-the-range Titanium and Titanium X models, which are fitted with automatic headlights and windscreen wipers, keyless go, cruise control and hill start assist.
The Focus won't hold its resale value on the used car market as well as the more desirable Golf, but you should still get a pretty decent second-hand deal for it. Plus, this is offset by reasonable servicing and insurance costs across the range.
What the others say
"For the first time, the Focus gets electric power-steering and torque vectoring. The former is more efficient than a regular hydraulic set-up and helps to save fuel, while the latter subtly brakes the driven wheels to mimic a limited-slip differential."
"This, the third-generation Focus shouldn't really be any different, and although the design is a fairly sizeable departure from its predecessor, it is easily recognisable as a Focus: Ford has played it pretty safe. The engine line-up remains much the same, except for the addition of a 1.6-litre Ecoboost unit offering 147bhp and 180bhp outputs. The new car's longer, but it is lower, which helps to keep CO2 emissions down and there's also a long list of new active safety features available."
"The latest Focus only enhances Ford's reputation for building brilliant driving motorcars. All models are well equipped and competitively priced."

iHub Research By Angela Okune / March 5, 2012
User Experience Pre-Test on M–Governance Applications
Leveraging the extremely high mobile penetration and uptake of mobile applications across the country, iHub Research is exploring the conditions needed for successful use of mobiles that could bypass the need for physical interaction and communication.
The user experience pre-test conducted by iHub Research looked at three applications that have been developed to encourage communication with the government through mobile and web platforms. These applications enable citizens to review their leaders (Mzalendo), comment on difficulties they encounter using government infrastructure through a USSD short code *318# (Huduma), as well as monitor constituency development funds through an Android application (MsemaKweli).
The pre-test comprised of a Focus Group Discussion with five participants and 2 in-depth interviews. The aims of the pre-test were to investigate whether or not the data generated by the two (2) methods produce unique, useful data; and to identify the major platform functionalities to be tested for the full-scale study. In order to conduct the user experience pre-test, the research team engaged seven individuals: four men and three women. The criteria for selecting the participant were: availability on testing date; gender balance; balance between creative, developer, "other"; and Kenyan nationals. There was 1 developer, 5 creative's and 1 "Other" – content developer and photographer. The focus group discussion took about an hour with the time divided equally through the three mobile governance tools that were being tested. The in-depth interviews took approximately 30-45 minutes each. The participants were briefed on the purpose of the study and allocated an opportunity to make any inquiries before the study began.
To conduct the study the research team provided 5 Nexus One mobile phones to the participants and gave them sample scenarios to tackle as they interacted with the application.
The user experience test left several questions to be answered:
- Are in-depth interviews and focus group discussions the only way to collect this information?
- Is the feedback received sufficient?
- Are the applications we looked into giving u a true picture of the interaction with government through mobile applications?
- Will this method for data collection work on a wide-scale basis?
We look forward to tackling these questions as we move forward to design the wider scale study. Your comments are always welcome!

Was There Ever a Ruling Class? A Proposal for the study of 800 Years of Social Mobility
AbstractThis paper reports on a preliminary investigation of surnames distributions as a measure long run social mobility. In England this suggests two surprising claims. First, England, all the way from the heart of the Middle Ages in 1250 to at least 1860, was a society without persistent social classes. It was a world of social mobility, with no permanent over-class and under-class, a world of complete equal opportunity. There was, however, a gain from being in the upper class in any generation in the form of leaving more copies of your DNA permanently in later populations. Second, signs of persistent social classes have only emerged in societies like England and the United States in recent years. Instead of moving from a world of immobility and class rigidity to a world of equal opportunity, we have moved in the opposite direction. KEY Classification-JEL: N33, N34, N62

Location - Central to the party location Value - Great price Clean rooms - No roaches found
Breakfast? FEED ME!!
It's kind a okay for the money, stuff is okay and friendly.
The location and the part of the LA where the motel is. Strange location that sometimes I didn't feel safe.
Nice rooms. Good location close to metro
Staff wasn't nice at all
Well-lit parking lot
Blankets had burn holes in them. Curtains had burn holes in them. Doors and walls dirty. Carpet had large patches of worn/frayed areas.
unusal smell
Helpful Front desk Good location for LA downtown
The jacuzzi suit was nice
The know on your door 30 min before check out, far from the hollywood área. In a Mexican hood.
It was really clean, bed was very comfortable, nice furniture, TV, good wifi, shower
Location is really bad, not safe at all
Wi-Fi was reliable Free Parking Rooms were clean; did not have any trouble with bed bugs or anything Free Coffee from 7AM-9AM
Location - in Downtown LA where it's very difficult to find parking if you could not get a spot in the parking lot Staff was not super friendly, but did their jobs. Inn is next to a very busy street, so tough to get sleep if you're a light sleeper
The room was good, clean, nice furniture and good bed. Good value for money.
The location is not so nice, I did not feel that safe outside the hotel premises at night.
They told us that we could not have company in our room because we said it would only be two of us. Our company was not even staying there so it was ridiculous for the guy to knock on our door and tell us that.
Rooms were clean, decent for the area.
I was in from out of town and had a friend and daughter stop by to say hello but they couldn't stay because within 5 mins of their arrival they were asked to leave by the front desk lady if not they would call the cops or make us pay $20/person... We couldn't touch the tv because an alarm would go off if we did. Felt like I was constantly being watched cuz they had cameras everywhere!! Definitetly not staying here again next year for the fyf fest. I'll take my money elsewhere.
It was fairly cheap. Quiet. I didn't pay for any extras and I did not expect any extras. It was a basic motel room.
Not particularly convenient location.
its close to the good places
SHOWER ! Waas bad , no microwave, parking , espensive , ect
beds are good,check in very fast easy to find
not safe in night
Location is right in an immigrant area, lots of homeless and felt unsafe walking to the metro. Not in walking distance to anywhere. Rooms were dated and cleanliness is debatable. Staff have no awareness of customer service! Worst hotel I've stayed in- website very misleading!
The manager started screaming at me because I was taking up two spaces of the parking lot due to another car that was parked too close to me and I didn't want to hit the car.
Room was okay. Security cameras everywhere
The area, outside the hotel there was so many homeless people, gangs etc. I do not recommend this hotel at all.
Location not good In a bad area About a ten minute walk from subway that connects with Hollywood and downtown. Rooms quite dated, didn't seem particularly clean
Clean, good smell, good paint, up-to-date on modern look, had a great time. Thankfully to all the Americas Best Value Staff & booking.com
Triple A discount would a plus or stay rewards card to complement clients.
*Everything was clean *Nice TV *No noises from outside *Staffs are friendly *Speedy check in and check out *$1 Soda vending machine
*that bug on the wall *no drinking water provided
Liked the jacuzzi tub in the room
I didn't like that I found a dead rat in the water in my bath in the room. Left the water in it and in the morning there was a huge dead rat in the bottom
The rooms are nice and beds and comfortable and the staff was very nice.
Wifi a little slow.
low rate free parking short distance from downtown, though walking at night is not reccommended
shady neighborhood noisy, room not sound proof shower head could use a clean

So far this season, the southern counties like Lancaster have gotten much more snow than their northern counterparts.
Most of the folks in Lancaster County are not too happy about that.
"'I hate this stuff. Like I said, I'm getting too old for this," said Bob Brown, a professional driver from East Petersburg, as he shoveled his sidewalk. When the hard work was over, Brown said he would stay inside.
"Sit on the couch, watch TV and watch all the other crazy people that I see on the news," Brown said.
At East Petersburg public works, the employees were doing their best to keep drivers off of the news by keeping the roads clear. They were hard at work getting the plow trucks ready, for the eighth time this season.
"It's been very heavy compared to past years. Usually we escape with about two or three," said Herbert Mattern, the Public Works Superintendent. "We've been using a considerable amount of salt. And right now the borough is looking into getting our own salt shed."
Despite that, the salt supply and the budget are holding up.
"The borough has put some part time people on to add to our staff to give a little better service. We're trying to do the best we can," Mattern said.
But staying accident free also depends on you, the driver.
"Be careful. Drive slow. No texting!" said Brown.
abc27 contacted several Lancaster County municipalities. All officials said they also have plenty of resources to get through the rest of winter.
There is a winter weather advisory in Lancaster County until 10 p.m. Tuesday.

University Hospital's Joint Commission score raised to 94
The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Organizations (JCAHO) has raised University Hospital's accreditation score to 94 as a result of its demonstrated compliance with JCAHO's national recognized health care standards.
Earlier this year, University Hospital received an accreditation score of 93 after a JCAHO survey in November found University Hospital to be in significant or substantial compliance in 44 of 45 key areas. The only area JCAHO suggested for improvement related to record-keeping with regard to pre-sedation assessment.
The updated overall accreditation score of 94 reflects JCAHO's review of University Hospital's plan of correction. "The increase in our accreditation score recognizes the experience and dedication of our staff as well as our commitment to providing quality medical care to our patients," said University Hospital Chief Operating Officer Ann Sedore, Ph.D.
The three-year accreditation by JCAHO took effect in December 2001.
Founded in 1951 JCAHO seeks to improve the safety and quality of the nation's health care through the voluntary accreditation of hospitals.
University Hospital, part of SUNY Upstate Medical University, serves 15 counties and is the region's only Level-1 Trauma Center. The 350-bed hospital offers hundreds of special services, including Gamma Knife surgery, pediatric intensive care, the Clark Burn Center, Regional Oncology Center, Center for Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders and a kidney/pancreas transplant program.

The carpod cargo carrier works amazingly! I'm currently using it while we move from Fairbanks, Alaska to San Antonio, Tx! Highly recommend it! It's the best cargo carrier out there, by far!

Like the overall size. CARPOD Carrier, Lid, and Bag. Upgraded to the 3' Raised Shank. However, when inserted into hitch the pin hole stopped 1/8 inch short, because it was blocked by the bumper (due to the angled shank). I could not insert the pin. I had to rush out to buy an $30 extender the night before leaving on a vacation.

Be careful opening the box because it's likely you may need to return it unless you have the metal fabrication skills needed to finish the build. The holes on the main tube did not line up with the holes under the basket so I needed to make them larger to get the two pieces together. I called the company and they graciously allowed me to redrill the holes without voiding my warrantee. I only wish my powder coat machine wasn't in the shop. I anticipate rust soon at the drill sites.

I purchased the cargo carrier, lockable lid and cargo Cover/bag. I just used the carrier on a 30 hr long round trip. Very easy to assemble and use. The cargo cover worked very well as we drove through several rainstorms and everything stayed perfectly dry. The cargo carrier easily held 3 - 4 large duffle bags and two carry on sized bags with no problem at all. This freed up a considerable amount of space inside our Chevy Tahoe and made for a more comfortable trip for all of our passengers.

A middle school math teacher from Ohio is celebrating Mother's Day after a rare sight -- her identical twin girls were born holding hands after sharing the same amniotic sac and placenta.
Sarah Thistlewaite had been on bed rest for 57 days prior to the C-section delivery on May 9, just in time for Mother's Day.
Jenna weighed 4 pounds and 2 ounces and was 17 inches long while Jillian weighed 3 pounds 13 ounces and was 17.5 inches long.
Ever since March 14 -- also known as Pi day, Thistlewaite had been anchored to fetal monitors for 20 hours a day due to the rare condition of her pregnancy.
Monoamniotic twin pregnancies present many risks to the mother. Since the twins share an amniotic sac and placenta, the umbilical cords can become entangled or compressed. There's also a risk that one fetus' umbilical cord could wrap around the other's neck.

Over thirty years after their inception playing in the smoky clubs of London, the Rolling Stones embarked on a massive world tour to promote their newest album, Bridges to Babylon. This was the largest tour in the band's history, and while the Stones played a lot of material off their new record, they also dipped into old, crowd pleasing favorites. For their Oakland Coliseum stop of the tour, heavyweights Pearl Jam opened, and the poster that promoted this epic event was stamped with striking Carnival imagery. Duel monkeys, a juggling clown, and other surreal images drenched in muted yellows, reds, and oranges comprise quite a memorable poster by veteran artist Randy Chavez.
Our unparalleled collection of concert posters feature performers from decades ago to the present day. Virtually all of our concert posters are in mint condition, and many are signed by the headline performer or the graphic artist.
