We're tracking new developments surrounding the unsolved murder of a woman downtown. Someone stabbed Aliza Sherman in March as she left her attorney's office.
Court records show the daughter of Aliza Sherman has now been given the authority to administer the estate. This comes after a long battle in probate court to remove Aliza Sherman's husband as executor.
Aliza had been going through a long, and very difficult divorce.
Court records show Sherman had written emails to her attorneys describing how she lived in fear something terrible would happen to her.
Cleveland police have not made any arrests, and they have not named any suspects.
A $50 thousand reward is being offered to help solve the crime.
If you know anything, call crime stoppers 216-252-crime, or email a tip www.25crime.com.

The black and white environment isn't helping this piece at all, in my opinion. It's really distracting.
I'm mostly bothered by what you did to his right hand. He looks like an amputee, hard to see that his arm is connected to the weapon. Also the weapon itself drawn pretty poorly, perspective wise, usually things get bigger as they get closer to us.
The lower part of his bodies need more addressing, hints of muscles like you did on his upper parts will definitely help his tights and shins.
You also need to make it less flat - more shadow and more contrast almost everywhere. I also agree with Ex Nihilo's comment.

Explore World Data with Factbook eXplorer from OECD
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) makes a lot of world indicators available (e.g. world population and birth rate). Much of it goes unnoticed, because most people just see a bunch of numbers. However, the Factbook eXplorer from the OECD, in collaboration with the National Center for Visual Analytics, is a visualization tool that helps you see and explore the data.
Those who have seen Hans Rosling's Gapminder presentations - and I imagine most of us have - will recognize the style with a play button and a motion graph in sync with parallel coordinates and a map. Choose an indicator, or several of them, press play, and watch the visualization move through time.
Also, if you've got your own data, you can load that too, which is certainly a nice touch.

Interesting program, but I wish projects/maps like this would stop using inappropriate projections. Mercator should be banned, it just looks terrible.
I blame Google.
It is utterly ridiculous.

It's the busiest shopping weekend of the year. But Saturday wasn't about the Big Box stores like on Black Friday. It's was Small Business Saturday. A day when you're encouraged to support local businesses. A lot of local shops offered deals Saturday to draw the crowds in.
The Owner of Imagine That! in Mishawaka and South Bend said they had a lot of customers Saturday and actually, all week long. She's grateful for all the business. "We ran out of some of our Christmas merchandise already so I've been on the phone putting in some emergency orders," said Marlene Hollenkamp, Owner of Imagine That!
As part of Small Business Saturday Imagine That! offered a free kids play day. Kids played with toys in a room of the store while parents could watch to see what toys their kids liked. Then they could buy them and Imagine That! put everything in black bags so the kids could not see what their parents bought.

Brushing teeth on Tisha B'Av15
July 27, 2012 by pitputim
I know that most Poskim forbid it. If my hands are dirty, then I am permitted to remove the dirt with water and soap if necessary, preferably up to the knuckles if possible.
Now that we know that our teeth are actually dirty with plaque.
From Wikipedia
Components of plaque
Plaque consists of microorganisms and extracellular matrix.
The microorganisms that form the biofilm are mainly Streptococcus mutans and anaerobes, with the composition varying by location in the mouth. Examples of such anaerobes include fusobacterium and actinobacteria.
The extracellular matrix contains proteins, long chain polysaccharides and lipids.
The microorganisms present in dental plaque are all naturally present in the oral cavity, and are normally harmless. However, failure to remove plaque by regular tooth brushing means that they are allowed to build up in a thick layer. Those microorganisms nearest the tooth surface convert to anaerobic respiration; it is in this state that they start to produce acids.
Acids released from dental plaque lead to demineralization of the adjacent tooth surface, and consequently to dental caries. Saliva is also unable to penetrate the build-up of plaque and thus cannot act to neutralize the acid produced by the bacteria and remineralize the tooth surface.
They also cause irritation of the gums around the teeth that could lead to gingivitis, periodontal disease and tooth loss.
Plaque build up can also become mineralized and form calculus (tartar).
I understand that on Yom Kippur we have an additional issue of Inuy, afflicting oneself.
ילמדינו רבינו
Why isn't plaque considered like "dirt" that may be removed?
It could be argued that nobody, even a dog, would swallow tooth paste let alone listerine.
Why not allow brushing with a half a cupful of listerine or similar?
15 thoughts on "Brushing teeth on Tisha B'Av"
When you are brought to account in the next world this should be your worst avera.
Go for it.
at very least brush the teeth with a dry tooth brush.
the danger of flossing is that one may dislodge a particle of food that may unknowingly then be swallowed…
Only if it is greater than a kazayis…… this is beginning to sound like Purim Torah.
on further reflection, the fleishigs was not an issue, i had listened to a siyum!
Just sell them to a goy!
Or brush your teeth with your left hand whilst sitting on the floor!

A billboard that can produce water and end thirst!
A billboard that can produce water and end thirst!
One day after a three-hour blockade involving upwards of 150-200 people from the Nez Perce Nation, Idle No More, and Wild Idaho Rising Tide, more than 50 activists once again dedicated themselves to stopping megaload shipments through Idaho.
Omega Morgan, the company responsible for the transport of the 200-ton megaload, has been warned by the Forest Service that the shipment is unauthorized, and the Nez Perce tribe is seeking an injunction. However, Omega Morgan is trying to sneak the megaload through against the law, so direct action must be taken.
The Nez Perce put out a call yesterday for activists to join them in renewed efforts to stop the tar sands equipment from moving through Highway 12. More than 50 protestors came out. They were met by a force of 40-50 police officers in a fleet of cars.
Police gave protesters 15 minutes to speak out as they blocked the roadway, before being forced to move to the shoulder. Some young activists decided to maintain the presence of the blockade by heaving boulders and large rocks into the streets, which held traffic up further.
Several Nez Perce tribe-members were arrested, adding to the 19 arrested on Monday night (including the entire executive committee).
On May 10th, the Guatemalan Court of Justice convicted the ex-dictator General Ríos Montt to 80 years in prison for the massacres of indigenous people during the 1980s [1]. Many Guatemalans hope that the judicial process against the criminals of the country's "dirty war" will continue [2].
But while the Guatemalan people celebrate the conviction, the processes of genocide initiated 30 years ago by Ríos Montt's massacres still continue by other means.
In the last decade, the expansion of oil palm plantations and sugarcane production for ethanol in Northern Guatemala has displaced hundreds of Maya-Q´eqchi´ peasant families, increasing poverty, hunger, unemployment and landlessness in the region, confirms Alberto Alfonso-Fradejas in the new Food First report, "Sons and Daughters of the Earth: Indigenous Communities and Land Grabs in Guatemala" [3]. There is a tremendous contradiction here: at the same time that the ex-General Ríos Montt is convicted for genocide, the state allows the oligarchy, allied with extractive industries, to displace entire populations without taking into account the human cost, and in many cases, resulting in the murder and imprisonment of rural people who resist the assault. The genocide against the indigenous peasant population in Guatemala no longer has the face of a military dictatorship supported by the United States…. Now it is the corporations, the oligarchy and the World Bank who push peasants off their lands.
The fourteen families of the oligarchy who control the country's sugarcane-producing companies (AZAZGUA), the five companies that control the national production of ethanol, along with the eight families that control the production of palm oil (GREPALMA) [4] and members of the Coordinating Committee of Agricultural, Commercial, Industrial, and Financial Associations (CACIF) are accumulating land and wealth with the support of investment from international institutions such as the World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI). The convergence of multiple global crises: finance, energy, food and environment, has directed corporate investment into land-based resources such as agrofuels, minerals, pasture and food. The situation in Guatemala is extremely violent; this is due to the global trend in which agrarian, financial and industrial interests converge to grab control of peasant lands and resources.
In many ways, land grabbing is a new form of genocide. Ricardo Falla's study "What Do You Mean There Was No Genocide?" analyzes the definition of genocide and its characteristics [5]. According to Falla, of the five acts that define genocide, two were most prominent in Guatemala: "the massacre of the members of a group" and "the intentional subjection of a group to living conditions which will lead to their total or partial physical destruction." The first genocide was against the Ixil peoples during the time of Ríos Montt. This second genocide is enacted through the privation of the Q´eqchi´ peoples' means of survival through land grabs. Hundreds of families have been displaced; they do not have land on which to produce or live and they are denied their cultural and community identity. These are conditions that lead to their physical destruction.
The conviction against a person who committed genocide is an historic victory, but it is not enough [6]. Ríos Montt was convicted only after he was no longer useful to the system of exploitation and subjugation. The oligarchy, which benefitted from the genocide, continues to commit genocide against the indigenous peasant population. They are supported by international investment and hidden by a legal system that favors land grabs to the detriment of the Guatemalan people.
In the last week, President Obama announced three critical appointments tarnished by banking scandals, bailouts, lobbying and bundling. Penny Pritzker, a billionaire heiress embroiled in banking failure and labor abuse, was named to head Commerce. Michael Froman, a managing director at Citigroup during its collapse and bailout, was appointed to take on the job of U.S. Trade Representative. And Tom Wheeler, venture capitalist and former communications-industry lobbyist, has been named to chair the Federal Communications Commission.
The appointments exemplify the corporate-government revolving door, political payback for fundraisers, and the domination of big business over our democracy. Once again, Obama has given everyday Americans good reason to groan about the government we've got, and to demand the better government we deserve.
To head the Commerce Department, Obama appointed Penny Pritzker. Pritzker has been a long-time funder of President Obama's political career. Open Secrets reports that in 2012 she bundled at least $500,000 for Obama's re-election campaign, and that in 2008, she raised up to that amount. Pritzker is among the 300 wealthiest Americans according to Forbes magazine, with a fortune estimated at $1.85 billion.
Her wealth comes from the Pritzker family's ownership of Hyatt Hotels, known for exploiting its workers. Some examples: In Boston, Hyatt fired its entire housekeeping staff and replaced them with temporary workers earning minimum wage. In Baltimore, only 9 of the 30-40 housekeepers working at the Hyatt Regency are full-time and directly employed by Hyatt. The rest are subcontracted temp workers earning minimum wage.
In addition to unfair treatment of workers, Pritzker's track record as owner and chair of the failed Superior Bank in Chicago should disqualify her from the role of Commerce Secretary, by any common sense standard. As investigative reporter Dennis Bernstein put it, "if you traced today's sub-prime crisis back to its origins, you would come upon the role of the Pritzkers and Superior Bank of Chicago….[Their] pioneering work… helped set the stage for the current sub-prime meltdown."
Pritzker's management of Superior Bank was also "tainted with the hallmarks of a mini-Enron scandal" according to business writer David Moberg in a 2002 In These Times article. "Using a variety of shell companies and complex financial gimmicks, Superior's managers and owners exaggerated the profits and financial soundness of the bank.… Many individuals—disproportionately low-income and minority borrowers with spotty credit records—had apparently been exploited through predatory-lending techniques, including exorbitant fees, inadequate disclosure and high interest rates." These concerns about Pritzker were voiced in government investigative reports and consumer complaints, including a RICO class action suit for over 1,400 depositors, who initially lost over $50 million of their life savings. In 2001, Pritzker's Superior Bank was taken over by Federal Regulators and then closed. This occurred with the requirement that the owners pay $435 million, as well as harsh criticism of Superior's promotion of sub-prime mortgages.
As a plutocrat with a history of banking scandal and labor abuse, Pritzker will do nothing to correct the imbalance in the economy between workers and owners and nothing to shrink the wealth divide.
We urgently need a forward looking Secretary of Commerce who will work toward a new economy that serves working people, not just the wealthy. Such an economy must encourage local, community-based small businesses and cooperatives. Local enterprises recirculate wealth and make every dollar worth more, (the so-called "multiplier effect"). Employee ownership ensures that the wealth generated by workers is shared, not sent to the top. See for example the work of members of the Green Shadow Cabinet, including our Secretary of Commerce, Marc Armstrong, our Secretary of the Treasury, Ellen Brown, our New Economy Advisor, Gar Alperovitz and our Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, Richard Wolff.
Obama has appointed Michael Froman – a former managing director at Citigroup and major bundler in Obama's first campaign - to take on the critically important job of U.S. Trade Representative. The job is particularly important right now as the administration completes negotiations for a global corporate coup, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which will greatly empower big banks like Citigroup.
In addition to being a managing director at Citigroup from 1999-2009, Froman was President and CEO of CitiInsurance. Froman's tenure coincided with the economic collapse caused by the subprime mortgage crisis and casino investing of the big banks in derivatives. During his tenure, Citigroup went insolvent and received federal government bailout with a $20 billion investment and $306 billion loan guarantee in November, 2008. With this dubious achievement behind him, Froman departed to join Obama's transition team. Citigroup's failure of a 2012 federal stress test suggests it's not out of the woods yet.
We need a trade representative like the Green Shadow Cabinet's appointment, economist Richard McIntyre. McIntyre would put protection of the people and planet before profit; and recognize the dangers of the big banks, not empower them further. Froman is exactly the wrong choice for this position as his instincts continue the neo-liberal approach of unregulated big finance that puts privatization and profits for transnational corporations first.
In his third appointment, Obama has named a faithful bundler-lobbyist, Tom Wheeler, to become the chair of the FCC. Wheeler raised between $200,000-500,000 in 2008 and in 2012 raised $500,000. Wheeler lobbied for the communications industry serving for 13 years as president of the National Cable Television Association and as former CEO of Cellular Telecom and Internet Association where he served 12 years. Since 2005 he has been a venture capitalist with Core Capital Partners where he served as managing director when he was appointed.
As Reuters reports, "All of the senators in the Commerce Committee know Tom as a lobbyist who funnels funds to them, not as a stand-up guy from a regulatory agency who is able to take heat." The FCC agenda should be making rural broadband a reality, providing broadband access throughout urban areas especially among low-income communities, lowering the costs of cable with fair billing and ensuring net neutrality. This is a time when competition, not consolidation and mergers are needed. A long-time industry lobbyist and venture capitalist will not provide the type of leadership the people need.
The concentration of the communications industry is a central problem in the U.S.. We need an FCC that will break up the few big business interests that dominate communication. Wheeler has supported more concentration, supporting the merger of AT&T with T-Mobile which was fortunately stopped by a lawsuit filed by the Federal Trade Commission. Essentially, Obama has put in place someone from the industry that the FCC is supposed to regulate. The appointment makes clear that the Foxes are in charge of the Hen House.
In November, 2007 President Obama said: "I am in this race to tell the corporate lobbyists in Washington that their days of setting the agenda are over". But his appointments of big business interests to key cabinet posts throughout his presidency, have created one of the most big business centric administrations in history – at the cost of consumers, small businesses and the overall economy.
In short, President Obama's Cabinet appointments are re-enforcing the stranglehold of the economic elite over our economy and democracy. As the bipartisan establishment in Washington continues to sell out the American people, there is no question that a new government is necessary.
Ask Andrew Guzman, a professor of international law at U.C. Berkeley, why he decided to write a book about climate change, and he says it's simple: It's the biggest issue of our time.
"If I didn't write about it," he says, "for my grandkids, I'd sound like somebody who wasn't interested in Nazi Germany in 1939."
Guzman doesn't want to be painted as an alarmist. That's why, for the book, Overheated: The Human Cost of Climate Change, he assumes that we will see a modest (and increasingly optimistic) 2 degrees C of warming. You know, so as to stay on the conservative side of things.
But it turns out that 2 degrees is enough to sound some serious fucking alarm bells.
Guzman's main goal, he says, was to look at the social, economic, and political costs of global warming. Most books focus on physical and environmental changes. Guzman wanted to examine human consequences.
Guzman spends a significant portion of Overheated exploring how troubled parts of the world will be affected by food and water scarcity vis-à-vis climate change. But some of the scarier parts of the book are about the overabundance of water that's coming our way: 2 degrees warming probably equates to about a one-meter rise in sea level this century. That's enough to displace hundreds of thousands to millions of people in low-lying nations, and, as of now, there is no plan to deal with environmental refugees.
"I think the question is whether the exit will be orderly or emergency crisis," Guzman says. "If a storm comes at the wrong time and the international community is then plucking these people out of the sea, it'll be horrible."
The environmental-refugee problem becomes eye-poppingly scary when you look at the 150 million people living in Bangladesh. A one-meter sea level rise would swamp about 17 percent of the country.
"We know where people go when they lose their land: They go to cities, and they go to refugee camps," Guzman says. "So the Bangladeshi cities that remain are going to be overrun and crumbling. Just think of the sewage system alone."
Lest you think no one has considered what might happen next, in recent years India has increased security along the border with Bangladesh. "But fences are only so good up to a point," Guzman says. "So how much violence are you prepared to use to keep that border secure? It's not at all clear to me that the border can remain intact."
Global warming is often couched as an environmental problem, but for Guzman, this misses the point. He's skeptical that drowning polar bears and acidified coral reefs will mobilize the public into action. He's a realist appealing to self-interested Americans. This isn't about hugging trees and saving whales. This is about international security, global pandemics, terrorism — and a moral imperative.
Overheated is a fascinating read in part because Guzman goes out of his way not to be hyperbolic. But if you buy his book as you're boarding a plane, it's more likely than not that you'll land feeling alarmed.
In late March 2013 it was announced that 'the government of Tanzania is establishing a corridor of 1,500 sq Km for both public and international interests'. The "international interests" are the United Arab Emirate's Otterlo Business Corporation Ltd (OBC) that plans to use the land for big game hunting. The purpose of this project has been introduced under the noble banner of "conservation" but in reality the plan is for the land to be used to create yet another location for rich Arabs to hunt big game. Putting aside the obviously disgusting sport of hunting animals: the forced eviction of the Maasai people from their own land is defined as a crime against humanity and ethnic cleansing by both United Nations (UN) and the International Criminal Court (ICC). This collaboration of east-African governments and corporate colonialists that is sweeping the continent – as foreign empires did previously – must not continue to be permitted.
Since 1992, the Maasai in Loliondo (Northern Tanzania) have been fighting to prevent their land from being stolen and used by members of the United Arab Emirate's (UAE) royal family. Now OBC, with co-operation of the Tanzanian government, are taking a further 600 square miles of land to establish a wildlife corridor for "conservation" purposes. The proposal is, that by taking this land from the Maasai and banning them from using it for cattle grazing, it will allow wilder beast to roam freely between wildlife reserves. However, this is simply a misdirection in order to try and get the public and NGO's on side.
The Maasai people of Loliondo 'have already been removed from much of their lands in the name of conservation' but this latest attempt to take even more land will result in the displacement of 30,000 Maasai people. These thefts of land have 'brought poverty to the majority of Maasai' and this further attempt to take even more could result in the 'end of the Maasai' in Loliondo. This would cause the Maasai people to join the growing numbers of 'conservation refugees'.
These under-reported refugees have become the dark and untold story of the climate change crisis. The Maasai, who still get 90% of their livelihoods from Cattle grazing, are accused of damaging the environment despite living in harmony with the environment long before the industrial revolution began.
In 2009, living conditions for the Maasai people in Loliondo became unbearable when 3,000 people were brutally evicted from their homes leaving them without 'food, water or shelter'. Tanzanian riot police burnt eight Maasai villages to the ground and raped several Maasai women. After the 2009 raid on Maasai villages, five people were arrested and imprisoned for sixth months without legal representation or bail. Regardless of situation or crime every person is guaranteed the right to a fair trial and proper legal representation under the Universal Declaration of Human and Peoples' Right that Tanzania has signed and ratified. It is up to the International community (the UN) to hold the Tanzanian government and OBC accountable for these gross breaches in international law.
Beyond the initial international law violations comes the climax of injustice: the violation of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). Here we see that the treatment of the Maasai people in Loliondo violates multiple articles of the declaration that the Tanzanian government has signed. This is especially abhorrent because this convention was specifically designed to stop situations like this from arising. Specific violations of the declaration include article 8 (section A, B and especially C), which states that 'Any action which has the aim or effect of dispossessing them of their lands, territories or resources' is a violation. Article 10 takes this further by clearly stating that 'indigenous peoples shall not be forcibly removed from their lands'. One infraction of the Declaration would be enough to class the Tanzanian government's actions in breach of international law; currently they are in breach of five articles contained in the UNDRIP.
Overall, these breaches of different treaties of international law culminate in a clear violation: any expulsion of a people from their lands including violence and humiliation towards the population (as was seen in 2009) is considered ethnic cleansing. International Law is indeed a 'pitifully weak tool' (Noam Chomsky, How the World Works) against the world's most powerful states but Tanzania does not fall into this category. The UN should enforce the laws it was founded on in order to stop these disgraceful injustices being further inflicted on the Maasai people of Loliondo.

Arguing that the climate crisis confronting the world today is rooted mainly in the wealthy economies' abuse of fossil fuels, indigenous forests, and global commercial agriculture, this important book investigates how Africa has been exploited and how Africans should respond for the good of all. As it examines the oil industry in Africa and probes the causes of global warming, this record warns of its insidious impacts and explores false solutions. Demonstrating that the issues around natural resource exploitation, corporate profiteering, and climate change must be considered together if the planet is to be saved, the book suggests how Africa can overcome the crises of environment and global warming.

On Sunday night, after Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) delivered the the Norman Podhoretz Lecture at the annual dinner of the Commentary Fund, the Wall Street Journal's James Taranto asked Lieberman what "happened" to his former running mate, Vice President Al Gore, for him to be "delivering angry anti-Iraq rants to MoveOne.org." "Damned if I know," responded Lieberman.
Lieberman insults Gore: 'Damned if I know' what 'happened' to him.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Two Delta passenger planes clipped one another on the ground at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on Friday, but no injuries were reported, the airline said.
"We had a taxiway incident tonight at O'Hare," Delta spokeswoman Chris Kelly Singley said, adding that two planes had "made contact" on the ground.
She said that all passengers disembarked after the incident involving a flight bound for Minneapolis and another heading to Atlanta. An investigation was underway into the cause of the collision and to assess the damage, she said.
A spokeswoman for the Chicago Department of Aviation, Karen Pride, said the planes had "reportedly clipped wings", but the Delta spokeswoman could not confirm what parts of the plane came into contact.

All of us at Ace Hardware @ Cedar Park are sad to inform all our friends and customers that we have had to close our doors. In the seven years that we have had the privilege of being your neighborhood Ace, we have made many friends and come to love and respect the community we have served. We were alwyas thrilled to see familiar and new faces come to us with fresh new questions and honored to be able to help with them. Unfortunately, there just weren't enough footsteps over our threshold to make our dream come true.
We tried, with every fiber of our collective bodies, to overcome the difficulties of opening a business JUST as the economy went into a spiral, to compensate for the opening of 183 A, to confront the challenges of 1890 Ranch and the pull of the big box stores...we tried and all of you wonderful customers tried. But, we have had to call it a day.
Thanks to all of you from all of us.
For repairs to small engines, lamps, etc. feel free to contact Norman Scott directly at (512) 965-1845 or (512) 987-9644.

Counterattack needs to go.
I would like to see an interrupt for boss fights so I can contribute while being SV and it doesn't rely on my pet for the interrupt. Maybe scattershot can still work as an interrupt or silencing shot is given to all hunters.
I'd like to have some healing, probably would have to be action-based. I like the idea posted earlier: "Black Arrow heals for 100% of the damage it causes over it's duration, and it's duration is changed to match it's CD (SV needs a heal)." However, I don't recall the amount of healing this would give. The leeching venom could work too as the counterattack replacement.
Another option would be to roll self-healing into Aspect of the Fox, making it the best for PVP where cobra shot/steady would heal a % of health compared to damage done; maybe make this the replacement talent for counterattack.
Lots of good ideas from you guys :)

PickupTrucks.com holds Ultimate 4×4 Challenge
September 19, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Truck , Videos , Ford , Nissan , Toyota , Off-Road , Ram The crew at PickupTrucks.com has busy lately. In addition to wrapping up their global pickup shootout in Australia, the site also took the time to pit four factory off-road kings against each other. After extending invitations to every manufacturer to send out their most capable pickup, the Nissan Frontier PRO-4X , Toyota Tacoma Baja , Ram Power Wagon and Ford F-150 SVT Raptor all showed up to play. General Motors , meanwhile, declined to join the party. Each of the participants threw down in a total of 10 scored events with separate scoring, including old standbys like 0-60, 60-0, payload capacity and fuel economy. But Pickuptrucks.com also partnered up with 4Wheeler Magazine to put the bruisers through some legitimate off-road tests. Each pickup took on a tough sand hill climb as well as a stair climb and a rock scramble. While we weren't surprised to see the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor take top honors, we were shocked to see where the Power Wagon wound up on the list. How'd the big Mopar place? You'll have to scroll down to watch the video wrap-up.
Toyota readying Intellitouch touchpad controllers?
July 27, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Technology , Toyota "Intellitouch" is the name Toyota will apparently use to refer to a new electronic control scheme it is developing. That's according to Car and Driver , which has spotted the name in a new Toyota trademark application. According to the submission, the name refers to "electronic touch sensitive controllers, sold as an integral part of motor vehicles." C/D speculates that for Toyota to bother developing a brand name, there must be more to the new gadgets than just touchscreen navigation. In fact, the magazine thinks Toyota is gearing up for Intellitouch to compete with Cadillac's Cue and Ford's MyFordTouch and their capacitive touch switchgear. The control setup could also be similar to the gesture-based touchpad systems already offered by Audi and shortly, by BMW . Another Toyota trademark filing is for "EBIN," a wireless charging system for personal electronics. While inductive chargers have been around for a while, several automakers are rushing to include them in upcoming models. General Motors recently trademarked the name, "Dockspot" for its version.

BMW, Toyota mulling expansive partnership
June 25, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Hybrid , Technology , BMW , Toyota , Diesel In December of 2011, BMW and Toyota signed an agreement to collaborate on lithium-ion battery development , and the deal included a provision where BMW would small-displacement diesel engines for Toyota products sold in Europe. It was brought up at the time that the partnership could expand further, and seven months later, it apparently has: Reuters reports the two companies " have now agreed several projects" in "other fields of cooperation." The Reuters report, based on an article in Germany's Der Spiegel , said there were no more specifics but that the two company CEOS would make an announcement "in the near future." A story in Germany's Manager magazine went further, however, citing the same Der Spiegel piece and saying that BMW and Toyota would form an alliance around "joint projects in hybrid technology, fuel cells, vehicle electronics" and lightweight technology. The announcement isn't surprising – BMW's move into the small, lightweight hybrid space with its forthcoming i sub-brand gives it all the reason to save R&D dollars by teaming up with the company considered the world's green auto leader, and the rumored expansion topics could help replace BMW's partnership with Peugeot , on the rocks ever since the French firm tied up with General Motors ' Opel division. We'll know more when an official announcement is made. BMW, Toyota mulling expansive partnership originally appeared on Autoblog on Mon, 25 Jun 2012 11:00:00 EST.

NHTSA opens safety investigations into Toyota, GM and Honda crossovers
June 9, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Recalls , Safety , Crossover , GMC , Honda , Saturn , Toyota The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is evidently keeping itself very busy these days, as the federal agency has just announced it is launching or renewing investigations into Toyota , Honda and General Motors crossovers. 2006-2008 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers are under review for allegations of rear tie-rod rust which can result in failure. NHTSA also said it is probing some 35 complaints about 2005 Honda Pilot models with inappropriate activation of the vehicles' stability control system. The alleged malfunction can cause the vehicles to slow down or stop in bad unsafe situations. At the moment, NHTSA is reviewing a petition regarding the Pilot issue, a move that will determine whether it needs to open a full-blown investigation. In addition, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia three-row crossovers built in 2007-2009 are getting looked at for "loss of low beam headlamp" function. One complainant said the wiring in his Outlook overheated and melted. NHTSA says it has received 415 complaints about the problem and a GM spokesman confirmed that the automaker already started a "Customer Satisfaction Program" in December to address the issue. Toyota spokesman Brian Lyons tells the The Detroit News , "We will fully cooperate with its [NHTSA] investigation." At least four of the complaints about the RAV4 claimed the tie rod failed at speeds above 35 mph, resulting in a loss of control. The NHTSA investigation summary states, "Pictures provided by some complainants show the wheel adjacent to the failed component severely out of wheel alignment with respect to toe and camber." No word on the timeframe for these investigations before it can be determined whether or not a recall is warranted.
Toyota open to new joint ventures after sports car success with Subaru
June 6, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Coupe , Toyota It's pretty safe to say that the Toyota GT 86 / Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ joint venture has been quite a success so far. Here at Autoblog, we've had nothing but nice things to say about the Toyobaru coupe, and it's a similar story elsewhere in the automotive press. Toyota has certainly been keeping track of the car's progress, and because of the success of this project, Autocar reports that the Japanese automaker is now more keen to do joint ventures in the future. Previously, Toyota had worked with PSA Peugeot-Citro
Canadian railroad strike could pinch U.S. car supply
May 28, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Etc. , Plants/Manufacturing , Chrysler , Ford , GM , Honda , Toyota , Canada TheDetroitBureau.com reports 5,000 Canadian Teamster union members moved to strike against the Canadian Pacific Railroad after last-minute negotiations failed to reach a fruitful agreement. As a result Chrysler , General Motors , Ford , Honda and Toyota have all seen their vehicle shipments bottlenecked. The railroad company has closed a full 15,000 miles of track across both Canada and the U.S., and the Canadian government has already threatened take action to put an end to the standoff. Those tracks typically handle a large portion of vehicle commerce, including moving both complete cars and components to and from manufacturing facilities. According to TDB, Canadian Pacific Railroad serves auto manufacturing facilities across Ontario and the U.S. Midwest, helping to link those plants with sister locations in Mexico . Chrysler says the company is currently investigating alternative shipping methods in the event the strike continues much longer. Honda, meanwhile, has said CR-V shipments have already been impacted by the issue. Canadian railroad strike could pinch U.S.
Toyota, Honda top supplier survey with lower results, GM and Chrysler improve
May 16, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Plants/Manufacturing , BMW , Chrysler , Ford , GM , Honda , Mercedes-Benz , Nissan , Toyota , Volkswagen Before financial Stargate opened in September of 2008 and transported us to an entirely new economic dimension, it was oh so common to read about domestic automakers hammering Tier One suppliers to lower their prices. Of course, suppliers are still asked to find efficiencies, but pre-2008, it seemed a point of honor to hold a supplier's feet to the fire. No more: in the latest Working Relations Index survey of suppliers by Detroit firm Planning Perspectives Inc., General Motors and Chrysler rocketed up the charts to bring the bunch much closer together. Admittedly, the two companies are still in last place, with GM just ahead of Chrysler and Toyota and Honda still up top. But perspective and improvement is the issue here: in 2005, Toyota scored 415 and GM scored 114. In this year's survey, Toyota scored 296 and Chrysler scored 248. It is the first time in the 12 years of the survey that the six automakers covered have been separated by less than 50 points. Chrysler's jump was led by the efforts of the the late Dan Knott , whle GM's improvement has been led by Bob Socia. And yes, this is also a matter of the perennial leaders, Toyota and Honda, suffering a dip: in 2010 Toyota scored 327 and Honda 309, two years later, Toyota has dropped 31 points. Every automaker, however, from top to bottom acknowledged that they still have work to do with supplier relations.
Toyota takes title of World's Largest Automaker… again, for now
May 12, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Toyota , Earnings/Financials Now that the title of world's largest maker has become a clear and eager battle, we can expect more regular updates on the progress of the combatants. Bloomberg reports that Toyota snagged the #1 crown in Q1, taking it away from General Motors with 2.49 million units sold across its five brands compared to 2.28 million for GM. Volkswagen was just another tenth down at 2.19 million units sold. What all three might appreciate even more than the crown – except for VW, who is monomaniacal about the No. 1 tag – is that sales volumes and profitability are up, at least in America. Toyota's sales rebound from the catastrophes of last year (and indeed, the last few years) is being underlined by its performance here, where the Prius Plug-In is the third-best seller against a background of the nation's best car sales market in five years . Even with double its usual fleet sales in Q1, Toyota expects this financial year's profits to double . The year isn't over yet and it remains close, but for now it looks like there'll be good news for everyone. Well, until 2016, when Volkswagen is predicted to vanquish all challengers at the top of the podium, two years ahead of its own ridiculously ambitious schedule. Toyota takes title of World's Largest Automaker…
2012 U.S. auto sales on pace to be best in five years
May 11, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Car Buying , Chrysler , Ford , GM , Toyota , Earnings/Financials Bloomberg reports that if U.S. auto sales continue at their current pace, 2012 will mark the best year for the industry since 2007. The news comes after word that both Ford and Chrysler have slimmed or entirely eliminated the traditional summer shutdown at their manufacturing facilities to keep pace with demand. All told, sales may reach 14.3 million cars and light trucks, according to analysts, thanks to factors like a gradually improving economy and easier credit. If the pace continues, 2012 will mark the third year of 10-percent gains, which marks only the fourth time that's happened since the Great Depression. Car sales stalled in 2008, and 2009 saw manufacturers move just 10.4 million units. As Bloomberg points out, that's the lowest number since 1982, but buyers took home 11.6 million vehicles in 2010 and 12.8 million in 2011. The industry saw a 10.3-percent increase through the first four months of this year. As a result, General Motors , Ford and Toyota have adjusted their yearly sales forecasts accordingly. 2012 U.S.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
May 10, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Car Buying , Marketing/Advertising , Chevrolet , Ford , GM , GMC , Hummer , Lincoln , Mercury , Pontiac , Saturn , Toyota When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car. R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those " orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze , Caddillac CTS or a GMC Acadia . Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln . Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners. As Forbes points out, if you're driving an orphaned nameplate, you just might be able to use that to your advantage when shopping for a new vehicle.
