Heidi Klum prepares for first Thanksgiving without Seal as she takes her brood shopping with bodyguard boyfriend
She has spent the last couple of weeks jetting between Europe and Los Angeles to attend the American and European Music Awards.
But Heidi Klum was home for the holidays and back on mommy duty on Wednesday.
The Project Runway host was spotted out with her large brood indulging in some pre-Thanksgiving retail therapy at The Grove shopping centre in West Hollywood.
She's no turkey: After a busy week award shows in LA and Germany, Heidi Klum took some time off to treat her kids to a shopping trip at The Grove
Wearing an eclectic ensemble consisting of a smock blouse, ripped jeans and a pair of studded wedge booties, the mum-of-four looked happy to have some time off.
The usually glamorous supermodel kept her hair tucked up under a grey felt hat and her make-up free face hidden behind a pair of tinted glasses.
Accompanying Heidi, 39, and her children Leni, Henry, Johan and Lou, was her new love, and longtime bodyguard, Martin Kristen.
The bodyguard: Heidi was accompanied by her bodyguard/boyfriend Martin Kristen
Hands on: Martin took care of Leni while at the popular shopping spot, while Heidi held the boys' hands
Trustworthy: Heidi has said that she trusts Martin with her childrens' lives
The former Victoria's Secret Angel recently confirmed to Katie Couric that she is having a relationship with her bodyguard, Martin Kirsten, following her split from former husband Seal in January.
She told the talk show host: 'I trust him with my children's life. He's a great man, you know, and we just got to know each other from a completely different side.'
Heidi denied she had started the relationship with her bodyguard while still with Seal, despite Martin working for the couple for four years.
But another talk show host wasn't letting the model get off so easy.
Mini me: Leni is looking more and more like her mother every day
Moving on: Heidi has confirmed she is in a relationship with the South African minder
Wait for me!: Youngest daughter Lou tagged behind with a nanny
This week Wendy Williams branded Heidi's relationship 'disgusting'.
On her show Wendy said: '[Kirsten has] worked for Heidi in the family for four years. Seal, you know what that means - and not just when you were out of town. I don't think this is a new relationship, do you?'
'It pains me to report stories like this when the woman, in my mind, is clearly in the wrong.'
Williams then encouraged the singer to make a grab for his former wife's money. 'You don't let the finances go with this divorce. I don't know how much you're worth, but she's worth more. You need half.'
On tour: Meanwhile estranged husband Seal spent time shopping at Zlote Tarasy Shopping Center in Poland
Meanwhile, estranged husband Seal was also out shopping - 2000 miles away.
The Kiss From a Rose singer who is currently in Europe on tour was spotted shopping with friends in Warsaw, Poland.
Seal has kept a relatively low profile since publicly accusing his ex of having an affair with 'the help'.
Low profile: While Heidi has been speaking out about her new relationship, Seal has been overseas
Just do it: The group visited the Nike store in Warsaw

Investigation of Flow in a Centrifugal Pump
Date: July 1, 1946
Creator: Fischer, Karl
Description: The investigation of the flow in a centrifugal pump indicated that the flow patterns in frictional fluid are fundamentally different from those in frictionless fluid. In particular, the dead air space adhering to the section side undoubtedly causes a reduction of the theoretically possible delivery head. The velocity distribution over a parallel circle is also subjected to a noticeable change as a result of the incomplete filling of the passages. The relative velocity on the pressure side of the vane, which for passages completely filled with active flow would differ little from zero even at comparatively lower than normal delivery volume, is increased, so that no rapid reverse flow occurs on the pressure side of the vane even for smaller delivery volume. It was established, further, that the flow ceases to be stationary for very small quantities of water. The inflow to the impeller can be regarded as radial for the operating range an question. The velocity triangles at the exit are subjected to a significant alteration in shape ae a result of the increased peripheral velocity, which may be of particular importance in the determination of the guide vane entrance angle.

On the Contribution of Turbulent Boundary Layers to the Noise Inside a Fuselage
Date: December 1, 1956
Creator: Corcos, G. M. & Liepmann, H. W.
Description: The following report deals in preliminary fashion with the transmission through a fuselage of random noise generated on the fuselage skin by a turbulent boundary layer. The concept of attenuation is abandoned and instead the problem is formulated as a sequence of two linear couplings: the turbulent boundary layer fluctuations excite the fuselage skin in lateral vibrations and the skin vibrations induce sound inside the fuselage. The techniques used are those required to determine the response of linear systems to random forcing functions of several variables. A certain degree of idealization has been resorted to. Thus the boundary layer is assumed locally homogeneous, the fuselage skin is assumed flat, unlined and free from axial loads and the 'cabin' air is bounded only by the vibrating plate so that only outgoing waves are considered. Some of the details of the statistical description have been simplified in order to reveal the basic features of the problem. The results, strictly applicable only to the limiting case of thin boundary layers, show that the sound pressure intensity is proportional to the square of the free stream density, the square of cabin air density and inversely proportional to the first power of the damping constant ...

Application of the Method of Coordinate Perturbation to Unsteady Duct Flow
Date: September 1, 1958
Creator: Himmel, Seymour C.
Description: The method of coordinate perturbation is applied to the unsteady flow of a compressible fluid in ducts of variable cross section. Solutions, in the form of perturbation series, are obtained for unsteady flows in ducts for which the logarithmic derivative of area variation with respect to the space coordinate is a function of the 'smallness' parameter of the perturbation series. This technique is applied to the problem of the interaction of a disturbance and a shock wave in a diffuser flow. It is found that, for a special choice of the function describing the disturbance, the path of the shock wave can be expressed in closed form to first order. The method is then applied to the determination of the flow field behind a shock wave moving on a prescribed path in the x,t-plane. Perturbation series solutions for quite general paths are developed. The perturbation series solutions are compared with the more exact solutions obtained by the application of the method of characteristics. The approximate solutions are shown to be in reasonably accurate agreement with the solutions obtained by the method of characteristics.

Gas-Dynamic Investigations of the Pulse-Jet Tube, Parts 1 and 2
Date: February 1, 1947
Creator: Shultz-Grunow, F.
Description: Based upon a simplified representation of the mode of operation of the pulse-jet tube, the effect of the influences mentioned in the title were investigated and it will be shown that, for a jet tube with a fccmndesigned to be aerodynamically favorable, the ability to operate is at least questionable. By taking into account the course of the development of pressure by combustion, a new insight has been obtained into the processes of motion within the jet tube, an insight that explains a number of empirical observations, namely: certain particulars of the sequence of pressure variations; the existence of an optimum valve-opening ratio; the occurrence of an intrusion of air; and the existence of a flight speed above lrhichthe jet tube ceases to operate. At too great an opening ratio or at too great a flight s-peed, the continuous flow through the tube is too predominant over the oscilla~ory process to perinitthe occurrence of an explosion powerful enough to maintain continuous operation. Certain possible means of making the operation of the jet tube more independent of the flight speed and of reducing the flow losses were proposed and discussed.

Talk:Polynomial-time reduction

Reductions in P[edit]
So it's claimed that you can't polynomial-time reduce the problem which accepts everything (or rejects everything) to any other problem. Why not simply solve the problem in polynomial time (in particular, constant time) and make no calls to the problem you want to reduce to? Am I missing something.
If you're problem is that the output of the ancillary problem is ignored, I'd say this. As I see it, P is a class of problems, all of which can be polynomial-time reduced to each other, and it happens that we know how to solve some of them in polynomial time. That kind of characterization reflecting the definition of NP-c seems natural, and I think the definition should reflect that.
18.104.22.168 14:20, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- It's annoying, but the footnote is correct. The problem is that when performing a many-one reduction, you don't have a choice: you must invoke the problem you're reducing to, exactly once, at the end, and must return that answer. Consequently, nothing can be reduced to the trivial languages accepting/rejecting everything except themselves. Dcoetzee 00:29, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
To me this semes wrong: "but still weak enough that polynomial-time reductions from problems in NP or co-NP to problems in P are considered unlikely to exist." Since P is inside NP such reductions must exist shold it not be NPC and co-NPC? 126.96.36.199 (talk) 12:29, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
I think that the intent is that a reduction from an arbitrary problem in NP to a problem in P is considered unlikely to exist. However, the statement is incredibly uninteresting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 21:00, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
I've added a lead para to try to state the subject in a form free of technical jargon. Some mathematician will not doubt take action if I've got it wrong Chrismorey (talk) 23:15, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
- Definitely an improvement in being less technical, but I think too vague to capture the idea of it being a polynomial time reduction. Additionally, your description in terms of transformations really only applies to many-one reductions and not to the other kinds of polynomial time reductions. And I don't understand what your sentence "This eliminates approaches to solving (or simplifying) the problem that are theoretically possible, but impractical." is supposed to mean. Anyway, your edit conflicted with a complete rewrite of the article that I was performing at the same time (mostly offline until I actually made the change about an hour after yours), including a different new lead; let me know what you think. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:29, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
See Also[edit]
I added a two bullet section on related topics. Feel free to add more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:F470:8:4058:FAB1:56FF:FEC5:B939 (talk) 23:45, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
- I removed one of your two bullets, Turing reduction — it is already prominently linked in the main article text, so WP:SEEALSO says we shouldn't also include it here. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:11, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

iTeufel Radio v2 iPhone/iPod dock hands-onPocket-lint
It's coming up to Christmas, so we expect to be inundated with iPod and iPhone docks at this time of year, but few catch the eye, or ear, of the Pocket-lint team as much as the iTeufel Radio v2.
German manufacturer and online retailer Teufel specialises in audio, and we've long been fans of its home cinema speaker ranges. Often, the company's systems give excellent performance for a highly attractive price tag, and include some highly competitive THX-certified set-ups.
However, last year it branched out into the world of iPod speaker docks, with the iTeufel Radio, lending the company's undoubted audio know-how to a more mass market product. The only problem was that, aesthetically, with its black fascia and wooden surround, it was as blokey as a pie, a pint and a fight.
The latest edition, the iTeufel Radio v2, addresses this issue with several new colour schemes, and chucks refined audio quality, a new bass adjustment switch and an improved LED screen in, to boot.
It now comes in "Matt Black", "Gloss White" and "Powder Pink", as well as the original retro wood finish. And the audio has been tweaked internally in order to give a better defined performance. The bass response switch has been added due to customer requests, and allows you to twiddle away until you find the best low frequency response for your room.
But, thankfully, it retains that Teufel big, bold and beefy sound. Indeed, from our, albeit brief, demonstration, the Radio v2 has enough oomph to scare a Tiger. Even with the inbuilt FM radio.
That'll be thanks, in part, to the two 7.5W stereo satellites, but mainly the 35W downfiring subwoofer, which coughs as pleasingly and hearteningly as a convincing Father Christmas.
We're also impressed with the finish of the dock (in all colour schemes). And it's a solidly built device that you wouldn't want to drop on your toe, that's for sure.
It's possibly too large to fit on a bedside table, but would be ideal as a spare room, kitchen or, even, living room sound system, and considering that many of its rivals in this category can set you back several hundreds of pounds, the iTeufel Radio v2's price tag of £179 seems more than reasonable. There's that trademark company value again.
The only catch, if indeed it can be called such, is that it is exclusively available on www.teufelaudio.com, and shipped by post, so you'll need to make sure that you order in plenty of time if your expect it to be a Christmas present.
But, as a side bonus, Teufel offers an 8-week return period for all of its products, so if you're not happy with it for any reason, you can send it back for a complete refund.

Fidelity Ends Card Partnership With AmEx, BofA in Visa Deal
- Visa, U.S. Bancorp to take over as the card's network, issuer
- Fidelity executive says those brands align better with its own
Fidelity Investments is ending its cash-back credit-card partnership with American Express Co. and Bank of America Corp., capping a year of fierce competition among networks and lenders for deals that bring in customers.
Visa Inc. and U.S. Bancorp will take over as the network and issuer of the Fidelity card, according to Ram Subramaniam, president of Fidelity's retail brokerage business. Their brands are more closely aligned with Boston-based Fidelity's, and financial terms didn't play a major role in the move, he said in an interview.
The decision ends months of talks with Fidelity as financial firms look to wrest away partnerships that can fuel their long-term growth. Costco Wholesale Corp. said early last year that it will replace AmEx with Visa and Citigroup Inc., while JetBlue Airways Corp. broke a relationship with AmEx in favor of MasterCard Inc. and Barclays Plc. With co-brand cards accounting for about 30 percent of all transactions, banks and networks risk rising costs as they try to outbid each other, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. analyst Ryan Nash.
Bloomberg first reported in August that Fidelity was weighing a change. The card -- known under the old partnership as the Fidelity Investment Rewards American Express -- will continue to offer a 2 percent refund on purchases, which can be paid into a variety of Fidelity brokerage, cash-management and savings accounts.
'Limited Opportunity'
The decision to end the partnership with Bank of America was mutual, said Betty Riess, a spokeswoman for the Charlotte, North Carolina-based lender.
"Bank of America has been exiting from our financial institutions card business where Bank of America has limited opportunity to deepen customer relationships, and this move is consistent with that strategy," Riess said Monday in an e-mailed statement.
Marina Norville, an AmEx spokeswoman, said the Fidelity portfolio represents less than 1 percent of the company's total billings and that customers can continue to use their cards through mid-year.
American Express shares dropped 3.1 percent to $67.39 at 9:44 a.m. in New York, compared with the 2.2 percent retreat of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Bank of America slid 2.9 percent to $16.34 and Visa declined 2.2 percent to $75.39.
Consumers who use the card spend a total of about $11 billion annually, according to Subramaniam. That's dwarfed by the amount AmEx has typically handled through its deal with Costco, which has accounted for roughly 8 percent of the network's more-than $1 trillion in annual billed business.
Still, losing the Fidelity tie-up affects operations AmEx has been targeting for expansion: facilitating transactions in which another bank is the lender.
AmEx's Strategy
The fastest-growing portion of spending on AmEx's network comes from its global network services business, where other banks issue AmEx-branded cards. Total GNS-billed business jumped 13 percent in the third quarter, adjusted for currency fluctuations, compared with a 4 percent increase on AmEx's proprietary cards.
While AmEx lost some partnerships during the past year, it has said it won't enter deals with terms that don't make financial sense, and that it'll keep fighting to add and extend relationships.
"It's all about finding the right partners with the right vision," Chief Financial Officer Jeff Campbell told investors at a conference last month. It wants partners "whose assets are complementary and whose vision for what they're trying to do for their customers and what they're trying to do to drive their business is complementary to ours."
As part of the deal, Minneapolis-based U.S. Bancorp also agreed to acquire Fidelity's existing co-brand credit-card portfolio with about $1.6 billion of loans, Fidelity said Monday in a statement. Terms weren't disclosed.

Italian food...
Tasty well done dishes with good Italian wines.
Service was friendly and the terrace was comfortable.
Butte aux Cailles area adds value as well
worth a go.
I, too, visited without reading the reviews and , thank goodness, I may have missed a great meal! The service was exceptionally attentive and the food excellent. I was proud to say I was the ONLY tourist the whole evening. I left feeling I had experienced a local gem. Don't listen to the naysayers. Just go and enjoy
For once a real italian food restaurant (don't go there for pizza you won't find it), with Italian way of having lunch or dinner (2 plates instead starter and main).
Go there and have a taste also of the charming Buttes aux cailles neighbour.
We had a lunch here: Insalata caprese, carpaccio di manzo and frutta. very simple, light, not incredible quantities, but just perfect. It's clear that this restaurant uses great ingredients - perfect olive oil, perfectly cut carpaccio and tasty tomatoes and bread: the bsic ingredients of the Italian kitchen. For 18euros you get a glass of red wine with it (good...
Perfect portion
Good quality of italian food
Without pizza
Very fresh and good interior design
Im french guy and i like so much.
Walking about La Butte-aux-Cailles (which is named after a man and not a bird) made us hungry and my wife says, let's have Italian and eat here. I agreed, recalling that "Pudlo" favorably reviewed the restaurant. Walking in, we heard only Italian and French ... and were warmly greeted by (as it turned out), the owner and perhaps her daughter....
Its so easy to find. At the top of the very pretty Butte aux Cailles, it hosts a place popular for obvious neighbourhood regulars. Its elegant taupe facade and large windows invited us to enter the chic decorations, not dissimilar from New York-style, subdued lighting and an old, untreated parquet floor.
We had aubergine millefiuille , tagliata of beef with...
This was probably the worst dining experience I have had for years. The owner of this restaurant should be ashamed of his surly staff, poor service and over priced food and wine. The kitchen staff are obviously under pressure to churn our poor quality food at high speed. After a poor starter the main course arrived almost immediately with the...
This restaurant has great service and their pasta tastes awesome. Small restaurant and it appears they make stuff from scratch. The only bad thing is they don't take Amex.
I've been to this restaurant several times for Sunday lunch and always loved the food and appreciated the Italian staff.
I went there for lunch this week during the week and had the lunch menu which is great value. You can have a starter and a main course for 14 euros or a three course menu with a glass of...

Philadelphia Eagles, NFL Concussion Settlement, and High School Football
September 12, 2013
As the NFL season gets underway, we take a look at all things football during this hour of Radio Times. Kicking things off will be RAY DIDINGER of Comcast SportsNet. He will breakdown Monday night's season opener for the Eagles and new coach Chip Kelly's high-octane offense. Then we'll hand things off to KEN BELSON of the New York Times who'll take us through the NFL's concussion settlement with many of its former players. Is this settlement enough to deal with the problems concussions present to many NFL players? Finally, we turn things over to EDWARD DUNN, head football coach of Martin Luther King High School here in Philadelphia. He'll describe what it's been like to coach the school's football in light of its recent merger with Germantown High.

Japan Sales Figures, First Half of 2010
A 2009 game outsells everything released in 2010 so far.
Nintendo has to be happy with topping the console sales charts over in Japan for the first half of 2010...even if they did so with a game they actually released last year. In fact, if you're worried that the Japan game marketplace is stagnant and littered with sequels and casual titles, these latest figures -- announced in the new issue of Famitsu magazine -- won't make you feel any less uneasy.
According to Famitsu's stats, the top selling game of 2010 so far is New Super Mario Bros. Wii, with 1,401,895 copies -- yes, in 2010 alone. The platformer, originally released December 3, 2009 in Japan, has continually been the top sales leader for the Wii ever since, breaking three million in sales after only seven weeks on the market. It's also been a huge asset to hardware sales over there, with over 700,000 Wiis sold in Japan in the month of December.
Otherwise, the sales charts offered few surprises to those familiar with the Japan game business. Dragon Quest games took the second and third sports on the list, and the head-scratchingly popular Tomodachi Collection placed fourth -- again, despite coming out over a year ago. Even Mario Kart DS, which has now been available for over four and a half years, took #67 on the charts with 72,774 copies sold so far in 2010. Eesh. (The best selling non-sequel title that actually came out this year: Namco Bandai's God Eater, at 605,000 copies.)
Here's the top 20 laid out in list form:
1. New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Nintendo, Wii): 1,401,895
2. Dragon Quest VI (Square Enix, DS): 1,293,916
3. Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 (Square Enix, DS): 1,194,584
4. Tomodachi Collection (Nintendo, DS): 1,012,437
5. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep (Square Enix, DS): 728,286
6. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (Konami, PSP): 727,823
7. Wii Fit Plus (Nintendo, Wii): 695,295
8. Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Nintendo, Wii): 613,290
9. God Eater (Namco Bandai Games, PSP): 605,316
10. Yakuza 4 (Sega, PS3): 552,531
11. Fist of the North Star (Tecmo Koei, PS3): 544,807
12. Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs (Nintendo, DS): 475,275
13. Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver (Nintendo, DS): 393,862
14. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (Nintendo, DS): 376,054
15. Wii Sports Resort (Nintendo, Wii): 366,833
16. Mario Kart Wii (Nintendo, Wii): 329,570
17. Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (Capcom, PSP): 294,446
18. Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition (Capcom, PS3): 258,961
19. Final Fantasy XIII (Square Enix, PS3): 193,179
20. Inazuma Eleven 2 (Level-5, DS): 186,066

This is so interesting. Actually, it is kind of neat to see what's selling in Japan, even if it is super predictable.

Scandyna Minipod
There are a lot of reasons for people to like computer speakers—they might be super compact, offer excellent audio quality, or just fit your constrained budget. But sometimes, you'll be drawn to a set just because it looks really cool, as is the case with Scandyna's Minipod ($639). Available in four different shades, this unique speaker looks sort of like a snowman Buddha in white, with a handsome matte black as our favorite in the bunch.
Minipod is more than just a pretty face though; Scandyna hasn't skimped on the sonics. Each speaker has a 5" driver for bass and midrange, as well as a 1" tweeter for the high frequencies. And there are plenty of accessories available too, including standalone subwoofers and some really neat mounting brackets.

Ever since Mahindra and Mahindra bought controlling stake in SsangYong Motors, South Korea's fourth largest car maker in February 2011, it has been a wait and watch game to see when those machines would finally make it to Indian shores. Korean cars have done well in India in the past and we, as a country, have been rather receptive of these brands, making the decision to bring SsangYong to India an inevitable choice for Mahindra. The wait is finally over and the Rexton is the first fruit from the Mahindra-SsangYong tie-up which is surely a fine way to start with a whole new line of quality products for the Indian market.
Incidentally Mahindra and SsangYong began their individual journeys on a rather similar note. Both companies first started out assembling jeeps, and thus formed their DNA. While Mahindra stuck to the basic layout for their product line up in the years to follow and established themselves in the UV and LCV market in India, SsangYong was quick to pursue a more contemporary and urban product under a technical partnership with Daimler-Benz. Now as the two companies come together, the best practices are bound to find their way into both company product line ups. For now, however, the Rexton will be the beacon of this new partnership and our first outing with it has definitely left us feeling that the future looks good for SsangYong's Indian innings.
Exteriors: Soft and Subtle
All the way from the curved headlamps and the arc-grille laced with chrome to the sharply styled fog lamps and the long roof rails, the Rexton is one good-looking vehicle. If at first sight you think it isn't too aggressive in character because of the soft lines, you're not all that wrong! Having said that, you cannot but help notice the familiarity in design between the Rexton and the Mercedes-Benz M-Class. No doubt, the M-Class is a class apart, but SsangYong's association with the brand in the past has left a bit of a hangover and that is clearly visible in the design.
The Rexton's soft character extends to the rear as well with a smart set of vertical tail lamps. Black cladding all round the lower edge is a great way to disguise the SUV's height and make it look sporty as well – enhancing those flared wheel arches. And then there is that very raked D-pillar line that slopes backward and gets even more accentuated by the wrap-around rear window. The spare wheel finds its place under the boot.
The Rexton is a big car and the vehicle's proportions go well with its blunt, but attractive styling that sees a very tasteful dosage of chrome – unlike some other cars, the bling hasn't been overdone. Those 16-inch wheels fill up the arches well and you might want to take note of that gaping ground clearance that'll make sure the Rexton drives over anything! With a 252mm ground clearance the Rexton makes ingress and egress an easier affair courtesy this very sturdy looking running board, which neatly stretches all along the side of the otherwise elevated stance of this SUV.
The three column LED tail lamp looks chic and very much in sync with the vehicle's overall classy demeanour and subtle yet sophisticated style quotient. The latest generation of the SsangYong Rexton gets the 'W' suffix and proudly displays it on rakish D pillar. Speaking about badges, the Rexton comes with a plethora of them on its tailgate. The most prominent of the five badges is the one that announces the vehicle's variant of choice, in this case the top-spec RX7. Just below are separate stampings establishing the RX7 Rexton as an All-Wheel-Drive vehicle mated to an Automatic Gearbox, and the fact that Mahindra has taken the onus for manufacturing it here in India. On the far left upper corner is a more apparent proprietary SsangYong badge.
Engine and performance: Power to the People
Powering the Rexton RX7 is the XDi270 diesel mill which sports a 2696cc capacity and makes 186.5PS @ 4000rpm while torque peaks at 402Nm between 1600-3000rpm. The RX5 version gets a slightly detuned version of the same inline-5 cylinder engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. ARAI certified fuel efficiency isn't too bad for a car this size either at a little over 11kmpl for the RX7, which is in line with expectations from SUVs in this particular segment.
The Rexton RX7 is mated to a 5-speed automatic gearbox which incidentally is a Mercedes unit; another element that points back to the technical partnership between SsangYong and Daimler Benz in the early 90s. The auto box is a torque converter type which seems a little outdated when compared to the dual clutch 'boxes around today. The transmission takes quite some time before shifting to the next gear and that takes away from the driving experience. The shift lever gets a nice visual touch and when you slot it into manual mode as buttons on the steering wheel allow you to shift up or down, a la earlier Porsche Cayennes!
One thing is certain and that is the fact that the Rexton RX7 cannot be termed a slouch, even after accounting for the slow shift timings between gears. As per the company, the SUV has a claimed top speed of 194 km/h which is more than you will ever need on Indian roads.
Performance for an SUV isn't just limited to tarmac and the Rexton does boast of a host of gadgetry on board which includes Hill Descent Control and All-Wheel-Drive. Don't expect it to go boulder bashing, but it can handle its fair share of dirt with élan.
Keeping the occupants safe, the Rexton comes fitted with ABS, two front airbags, and side airbags, plus a headlight leveling system to aid the driver for better visibility at night.
Ride and Handling: Life is a Roller Coaster!
While the tech specs on the engine are impressive, the Rexton isn't our first choice in the handling department. Thanks to its soft suspension set up, body roll is more than evident and can be unnerving at times especially when the Rexton is thrown around a corner with aggression. All that it lacks in the handling department isn't helped by the large 235/75 R16 tyres either. While the tyre rating itself seems fine, the Hankook rubber could have worked better and that's probably the biggest issue we have with the Rexton – especially when put to urban use.
On the flip side though, ride quality is awesome for the suspension just soaks up road undulations and passengers don't have to bear the brunt of our Indian roads. Keeping in mind that most Indian roads aren't designed for high speed driving and comfort takes precedence over handling, the Rexton isn't such a bad deal.

"Open Secrets," Lisa Rab, October 9
The story you published about asylum-seekers sucks. Write an article about the number of veterans returning from the field of battle with half their brains blown out and living on the streets, then talk to me. These so-called asylum-seekers need to leave us taxpaying Americans alone and stand their ground in their own damn country. Asylum-seekers are an age-old problem in these United States; they usually end up in jail or prison here because they first rob the taxpayers with their words of woe and then proceed to further undermine the U.S. by stealing, robbing and, yes, even murdering our fellow Americans.

"Strange Union," Joel Warner, October 16
It almost made me cry to hear that Ryan Frazier's position on "right to work for less" was about "principle" and "freedom." What a joke, and what a shame for Frazier and his party hacks to pretend that they are acting to protect rank-and-file employees. Joel Warner's article was well researched, but he should have discussed the differences between public and private unions. Many public-sector unions do not bargain on wages, and the goals of the agencies are about public safety versus profit. Employee working conditions are a critical component of the mission and the public interest. I work in a federal prison and can attest to the importance of collective bargaining in order to help maintain safety standards. The passage of Amendment 47 would essentially turn many unions into social clubs and greatly damage the collective voice of firefighters, law enforcement officials, medical staff and employees throughout the state.
Union shops are no different than any other form of representative democracy. Consider these questions: Why do people still have to pay taxes when we disagree with our elected officials? Why do those officials get to make decisions for all of us? Why are so many people required to pay homeowner association fees? Why do people who claim to believe in due process of law, checks and balances and equal justice abandon those beliefs when it comes to democracy in the workplace?
I certainly understand why people sometimes disagree with labor unions. It is called democracy. And when you remove it from the workplace, you remove it from society.

"Cougar Attack!," Adam Cayton-Holland, October 16
Drinking 257 Stella Artois beers, six flutes of champagne and three vodka tonics can make a person do some strange and frightening things, like voting for Barack Obama.
But turning down sex on the basis of political affiliation goes well beyond the pale. Yet, despite the fact that "homegirl was smoking," that's exactly what A-Hol did — thereby ignoring the opportunity to do some late-night politicking. He could have shown her one very big reason not to vote for Governor Palin. which would have impressed her far more than his slurred assault on Senator McCain. Of course, after his rather robust liquid diet, that one big reason might have appeared far less significant.
And if A-Hol is shocked that one woman might vote for Sarah Palin simply because she's a woman, how does he feel about blacks voting for Barack Obama simply because he's black?
Don Lopez
Way to go, Adam! You thought with the "big head" and not the "little head" in escaping the wrath of the McCain/Palin-supporting cougar! Where do women like that come from, anyway? They'd rather chance giving up their right to choose just to see a vagina in the White House? Good grief! That demonstrates thinking with "no head" at all!
I only wish there were more guys like you! I hope the beard comes off November 4. Obama or bust!

Bread lovers and baking enthusiasts who covet the mouthwatering aroma and tantalizing taste of the most esteemed of breads, sourdough, will delight in CLASSIC SOURDOUGHS, an updated version of our essential baker's companion, WORLD SOURDOUGHS FROM ANTIQUITY. Author and sourdough aficionado Ed Wood describes the basics of preparing a sourdough culture, and then moves on to building, shaping, and baking these storied loaves from the ground up. En route, Wood mixes hard science with a profound respect for baking traditions, emphasizing the importance of ingredient selection and paying homage to the baking techniques practiced by the ancient Egyptians. Baking, history, chemistry, cultural anthropology-this is truly a sourdough magnum opus, an engaging, authoritative volume that, most importantly, will show you how to prepare these scrumptious breads in your own kitchen.Ä¢ Includes over 90 delicious recipes and an up-to-date chapter on baking authentic sourdoughs in bread machines.Ä¢ New information on Dr. Wood's latest discovery-a culture considered to be the authentic San Francisco sourdough-that will allow you to re-create the world-famous taste of San Francisco bread in your own home.
ED WOOD is a pathologist, biologist, wild yeast expert, and master baker. In 1993, he was invited to participate in a National Geographic project to reproduce the first leavened breads at an excavated baking site in Egypt. Through his company, Sourdoughs International, he sells dried authentic sourdough cultures he has collected from around the world. He lives and bakes in Cascade, Idaho.
Brings the tradition of sourdough cooking into focus. It is easy, interesting reading and doesn't make sourdough baking seem complicated.Sharon Maasdam, The OregonianA Match Made With Leaven: A True Story of Loafing, Lust, and Loss headline of review with recipe tested by The Palm Beach Post

Finding an NPR Listener in Sichuan
One of the most rewarding parts of this job is meeting people who say, "Oh, I heard those organic farmers talking about how they don't have health insurance..." or "I'll never forget that woman who said 'We are not refugees, we are survivors!'"
Well, we had a moment like that the other day when we met Lawrence Liang.
Lawrence is the design team leader for Build Change, a non-profit that's helping rural families in Tumen Township build earthquake resistant homes. So he's looking at structural designs and materials, that sort of thing. He was born in China, moved to the US when he was 13, and graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a degree in mechanical engineering. He'd been working in the aerospace field, and much of his work was on weapons programs. He told us he was getting tired of that and wanted to do something a little more positive, a little more fulfilling.
He was in the Bay area when the earthquake struck and says he heard our reporting from Sichuan, including a story about a doctor who lost his daughter in the quake.
"That was really a touching report," Lawrence told us the other day. "I guess that kind of influenced me to come to China in a way, to really see what happened here."
What Lawrence must have heard was Robert Siegel's story from Hanwang, which is only about fifteen or twenty miles from where Build Change is working now.

The 2013 Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance Program (OASDI) Trustees report has estimated that the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund, which pays Medicare's hospital costs, will become insolvent in 2026, two years later than last year's projection. They also reported that Social Security will become insolvent in 2033, the same estimation reached in 2012.
According to the report, this improved outlook for Medicare is due to lower than projected spending in 2012 for most covered services, especially for skilled nursing care. The report also attributes certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) with lowering projected Medicare Advantage program costs, and suggested that the ACA will reduce growth in these costs by more than was previously estimated.
As for Social Security, the Trustees announced that the combined trust fund reserves are still growing and will continue to do so through 2020. However, in 2021 the cost of the program is projected to exceed income and in 2033 the reserves will be depleted. At that time, there will only be sufficient income coming in to pay 77 percent of scheduled benefits.
"The Social Security Trust Funds' projected depletion dates have not changed, and three-fourths of benefits would still be payable after depletion. But the fact remains that Congress needs to act to ensure the long-term solvency of this vital program," said Carolyn W. Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social Security. "The projected year for Disability Insurance Trust Fund depletion remains 2016, and legislative action is needed as soon as possible to address this financial imbalance."

FWS: Wolves No Longer Need Endangered Species Protection
The U.S. Interior Department announced it will remove Endangered Species protection for most wolves in the lower 48 states. The decision comes at the suggestion of Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) in light of the "successful recovery" of wolves after remaining on the list for over three decades.
One subspecies of wolves, the Mexican wolf located in the U.S. Southwest, will remain listed as endangered, the Interior Department noted.
Wolves Now Thriving
"From the moment a species requires the protection of the Endangered Species Act, our goal is to work with our partners to address the threats it faces and ensure its recovery," FWS Director Dan Ashe told the media in a statement. "An exhaustive review of the latest scientific and taxonomic information shows that we have accomplished that goal with the gray wolf, allowing us to focus our work under the ESA on recovery of the Mexican wolf subspecies in the Southwest."
Grey wolf populations are thriving particularly well in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, where ranchers complain about frequent livestock kills. Jon Rachael, state wildlife game manager at the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, said he believes wolves won't have any trouble maintaining their populations after federal endangered species protections are lifted.
"Wolf populations in the northern Rockies of the U.S. are robust, self-sustaining, and genetically interconnected through dispersal with and among wolves throughout Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Washington, and Oregon, and to an even larger population of wolves in Canada," Rachael said.
States Will Manage Populations
Removal of wolves from the Endangered Species List allows state wildlife officials to formulate their own plans for managing wolf populations.
"In this region—Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming—we're comfortable with delisting, as the wolf is certainly recovered here," said Ron Aasheim, a spokesperson for Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks.
FWS noted its comprehensive review discovered the current listing for gray wolf "erroneously included large geographical areas outside the species' historical range."
According to FWS, there are at least 6,100 gray wolves in the contiguous United States.
The proposed FWS delisting is open to a 90-day comment period, and the final decision will be made in 2014.
