Hasbro combines construction trucks with Play-Doh in the new Diggin' Rigs line. Using Play-Doh compound to activate lights and sounds, kids can build, bash, scoop, and smash. Buster the Power Crane is the centerpiece of the Diggin' Rigs crew and comes with 10 tools. His button-activated voice encourages interaction and play, and when kids push Play-Doh compound through the crane boom, more lights and sounds are activated. Kids can lift Buster's crane and push Buster along as well as use the Play-Doh tools to create and build with Play-Doh bricks and more. Buster comes with four three-ounce cans of Play-Doh compound in specialty colors: metal, brick, sand, and asphalt. Also included are two hand tools for rolling and cutting Play-Doh, two boom attachments, and two book molds, allowing kids to cut, stamp, and mold Play-Doh compound into other construction-themed creations.
This is a fun new way to play with Play-Doh. Construction-themed play is a classic boys' play pattern, and this playset lets kids play with a fully functioning truck as well as build a construction scene out of Play-Doh. There's a lot of potential for creative, open-ended play with Buster the Power Crane.
Buster the Power Crane is for ages 3 and up.
Two AA batteries are included, but they power the in-store try-me features. Hasbro recommends replacing them before you play for best results.
Play-Doh contains wheat.

Cloud computing offers a new way of service provision by re-arranging various resources over the Internet. The most important and popular cloud service is data storage. In order to preserve the privacy of data holders, data are often stored in cloud in an encrypted form. However, encrypted data introduce new challenges for cloud data deduplication, which becomes crucial for big data storage and processing in cloud. Traditional deduplication schemes cannot work on encrypted data. Existing solutions of encrypted data deduplication suffer from security weakness. They cannot flexibly support data access control and revocation. Therefore, few of them can be readily deployed in practice. In this paper, we propose a scheme to deduplicate encrypted data stored in cloud based on ownership challenge and proxy re-encryption. It integrates cloud data deduplication with access control. We evaluate its performance based on extensive analysis and computer simulations. The results show the superior efficiency and effectiveness of the scheme for potential practical deployment, especially for big data deduplication in cloud storage.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are characterized by the deep complex intertwining among cyber components and physical components. Due to the fast increase in system complexities, the operations of CPS involve sensing, processing and storage of massive amount of data. This nature of "big data" imposes fundamental challenges on the design and management of CPS in multiple aspects such as performance, energy efficiency, security, privacy, reliability, sustainability, fault tolerance, scalability and flexibility. Tackling these challenges necessitates innovative big data techniques for handling massive data in CPS. This special issue will present the state-of-the-art research results on the topic of big data sensing, processing and storage for CPS, and stimulate a broad range of researchers to participate in the interdisciplinary CPS research in the future.

This last decade has witnessed a tremendous rapid increase in volume, veracity, velocity and variety of data generated by different cyber security solutions and as part of cyber investigation cases. When a significant amount of data is collected from or generated by different devices and sources, intelligent big-data analytical techniques are necessary to mine, interpret and visualise such data. To mitigate existing cyber security threats, it is important for big-data analytical techniques to keep pace.
This special issue will focus on cutting-edge from both academia and industry, with a particular emphasis on novel techniques to mine, interpret and visualise big-data from a wide range of sources and can be applied in cyber security, cyber forensics and threat intelligence context. Only technical papers describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research, and not currently under review by a conference or a journal will be considered. Extended work must have a significant number of "new and original" ideas/contributions along with more than 30% brand "new" material.

The continued evolution of computing hardware and infrastructure imposes new challenges and bottlenecks to big data management. Over the last few years there has been a renewed interest in the area of (big) data systems on emerging hardware. The opportunities and challenges from emerging computing systems have been raised different scales, from a single machine to thousands of machines. The need for effectively utilizing computing resources creates new technologies and research directions: from conventional ones (e.g., cluster computing, in-memory computing), to more recent ones (e.g., GPGPU, many-core processors, and NVRAM). In addition to performance, many other system features are important for big data applications, like energy consumption and total ownership costs. For a specific application domain such as graph processing and deep learning, the design and development of novel systems on emerging hardware will create the insight into new solution approaches of the application domain and even further. Thus, there is a need to fundamentally address all the above-mentioned issues in big data systems. IEEE Transaction on Big Data (TBD) seeks original manuscripts for a Special Issue on the theme - Big Data Systems on Emerging Architectures scheduled to appear in an issue of 2017.
Submission deadline: January 15, 2017. View PDF.
The rapid advancement of digital sensors, computers, networks, and smart devices with their extensive use is leading to the integration of a significant amount of diversified data that results in emerging research on Big Data. Cloud computing means storing, computing, and accessing data and programs over the Internet. The growth of cloud computing and cloud data stores have been a precursor and facilitator to the emergence of Big Data. Thus, Big Data and Cloud systems are considered complimentary to each other.
Since Big Data are often in unstructured or semi-structured forms that are being generated from various sources, trustworthiness in data collection, integration, computing, decision-making, and data management becomes a great concern. For example, can we trust current Big Data storage and protection systems or can the use of Big Data analytic enhance security and privacy of the whole system? On the other hand, trustworthiness is also one of the most concerning issues in Cloud Computing environments in terms of fault tolerance, data loss recovery, data privacy/security/safety, and data protection, due to its open environment with very limited end user-side controls. Currently, many new applications are being developed explicitly for cloud system deployment, while many traditional applications will eventually evolve to cloud. The end user-side wants these cloud-based services to be at least as trustworthy and available as traditional offerings. To meet these expectations, cloud service providers and cloud consumers need to gain a solid understanding of the unique challenges of cloud computing and learn how to mitigate risks.
While information society, commercial and scientific companies, and industries share the need for massive throughput, trustworthiness of services will become a big concern. However, trustworthiness in both Big Data and Cloud Computing systems has received less attention from researchers and practitioners. The aim of this special issue is to solicit both original research that discusses the trustworthiness issues, trustworthy platforms, trustworthy frameworks, and design methodologies for Big Data and Cloud Computing systems.

Ten things to watch in the Southeastern Conference this season:
1. The (relatively) meek shall inherit Dixie
Since becoming the godfather of conference expansion in 1992, the SEC has been as unbalanced as Michael Jackson. The Eastern Division's ownership of the West has been indisputable. A team from the East has won eight of 11 league championship games, has held the league's highest AP ranking seven of the last eight years and has owned the SEC's top scoring offense every year.
That's starting to change.
Steve Superior leaving Florida for the NFL is a major factor, but so is the steady rise of Auburn under Tommy Tuberville and LSU under Nick Saban. Auburn is widely seen as the SEC's marquee team and chief national title contender this year, and LSU could be the No. 2 squad if Georgia cannot overcome major personnel losses due to graduation, early-season suspension and injury.
And while Florida and Tennessee try to rebound from disastrous years (by their standards), almost everyone in the West is brimming with optimism. All six Western teams return at least 15 starters, while none in the East return more than 13.
If Tuberville starts calling himself the Head Ball Coach and wearing a visor, we will officially have a sea change.

2. Over/under on Ron Zook's head exploding: nine games
Athletic director Jeremy Foley says his second-year coach's job security is not an issue -- especially after a slam-bang recruiting class. But if the Zooker is on the wrong side of .500 after Nov. 1, the situation could be combustible.
And being 4-5 at that point is at least a possibility, after games at Miami, Kentucky, LSU and Arkansas, a home game against Tennessee and the annual Cocktail Party game in Jacksonville against Georgia. That's tough sledding for a team with a lot of question marks.
And after a year of handling the slings and arrows of multitudinous critics fairly well, Zook seems to be adopting a bit of a bunker mentality. As of Wednesday he still was refusing to publicly name a starting quarterback for Saturday's game against San Jose State, and said he probably will keep it secret until kickoff. He also was reportedly getting tired of reporters pressing the issue.
(The longer Zook delays, the more it fuels speculation that he might go with true freshman Chris Leak over sophomore Ingle Martin and redshirt freshman Gavin Dickey. The thinking is that Zook is trying to protect the rookie from a week of high-wattage attention. Keeping San Jose State guessing would hardly seem worth the drama.)
If the climate is like this in August, the message board brushfires could be an inferno by November.
3. Year of the Slashback
Always a league flush with athletes, the SEC might lead the nation in multiposition players this fall.
Keep an eye on how often (and where) you see Tennessee receiver/cornerback Mark Jones and receiver/quarterback James Banks; Florida cornerback/receiver Kiewan Ratliff; LSU receiver/safety Michael Clayton; Arkansas quarterback/receiver Matt Jones, Kentucky quarterback/running back/receiver Shane Boyd and South Carolina receiver/quarterback Syvelle Newton.
The only limits on these guys will be the imaginations of their coaches.
4. Auburn in the spotlight
More than a few folks have made the Tigers a trendy No. 1 pick, but Auburn hasn't been No. 1 since September 1985, when Bo Jackson was blowing up defensive backs. With expectations hanging on this team like toilet paper on the trees at Toomer's Corner, can the Tigers live up to it?
"That's going to be interesting to see," Tuberville said of the No. 1 picks. "I think you need to educate your fans and alumni about rankings early in the season. I think our team understands it pretty well. You can't fool players and coaches as much as you probably can the fans. Where you're ranked before the season doesn't make a hill of beans anyhow."
The defense should be bullet-proof, the running backs are the best in the country and the receiving corps is young but very gifted. The pressure falls to junior quarterback Jason Campbell and first-year offensive coordinator Hugh Nall, who steps in for departed game plan wiz Bobby Petrino, now the head coach at Louisville.
Campbell has proven he can be a starting SEC quarterback -- but he hasn't yet been a great SEC quarterback yet. (He hasn't thrown for 200 yards in a game since September 2001, while sharing the position the last two years with Daniel Cobb.) He shouldn't have to be the second coming of Pat Sullivan with Cadillac Williams and Ronnie Brown lined up behind him, but you figure somewhere along the line he'll have to win a big game with his arm.
5. Who's the best quarterback?
Even with Rex Grossman going pro after his junior year, the league offers you four quality choices: Ole Miss' Eli Manning, Georgia's David Greene, Tennessee's Casey Clausen and Kentucky's Jared Lorenzen.
Of the fab four, Manning threw for the most yards (3,401) last year. Greene had the highest efficiency rating (137.3) and the best record (13-1). Lorenzen threw the most touchdown passes (24) and the fewest interceptions (five). Clausen was the most accurate (62.6 percent) and most injured (he missed two full games and parts of others).
6. Life on the penal colony
Alabama is on its second year with no postseason and on its third head coach in less than 12 months. The Crimson Tide has turned to 38-year-old alum Mike Shula, who has never been a head coach on any level and never been a college coach of any kind, to see them through.
Kentucky can go to a bowl after sitting out last year, but is still laboring with scholarship restrictions and must adjust to its third head coach in four seasons. The Wildcats have turned to 62-year-old Rich Brooks, who hasn't won a college game since 1994, hasn't won any game as a head coach since '96 and hasn't coached, period, since 2000.
Young and old meet in the Probation Bowl in Tuscaloosa Sept. 13. Maybe Albert Means can drop by for the coin toss.
7. Is the sun setting on the Day of the Jackal?
Jackie Sherrill is the winningest coach in Mississippi State history. He's taken one of the league's underdog programs and doubled its all-time bowl total, from six to 12. From 1997-2001, he won 33 games and an SEC West title.
But The Jackal is up against it this year. His record the past two seasons is 6-17, the Bulldogs have lost eight straight league games and are widely picked last in the West again. And there's the not-so-small issue of an ongoing NCAA investigation.
Some people in Mississippi believe Sherrill has the talent and the schedule for a turnaround year. He might need it to save his job.
8. Attitude adjustment on Rocky Top
Receiver Kelley Washington's jump to the pros can only help team chemistry in Knoxville, where a fractious locker room and an injury plague led to Tennessee's worst season in 10 years under Phillip Fulmer.
A rerun of the cohesion issues is unlikely, given the veteran coaching staff and core of player leadership. If the Volunteers are all on the same page, there's always enough talent in Knoxville to be a national factor.
9. Baby blockers between the hedges
Defending SEC champion Georgia starts an all-new offensive line. They are reportedly flush with talent, but frighteningly young: the starters are four sophomores and a redshirt freshman, backed up by three freshmen and two sophomores. And they open at extra-loud Clemson Saturday.
That's automatic ulcer material for coaches, but Mark Richt does have veterans at quarterback and receiver to lean on while the blocking comes together.
"We really don't know where we are," said Richt, who is a freakish 8-0 in true road games as a head coach.
10. Colonel Reb retired
If you needed final proof that everything football-related is a big deal in the Deep South, Ole Miss' moth-balled mascot is it.
The old Southern gentleman is out, gone the way of the Confederate flag and the band playing "Dixie," amid concerns that he was another symbol of lingering racism at Ole Miss. The old buzzard has been reduced to just another fable of the reconstruction of Mississippi's image.
And a whole bunch of Ole Miss fans are outraged. It was a divisive enough issue that athletic director Pete Boone had to defend the decision at numerous booster meetings, and school president Robert Khayat issued a statement on the matter.
If the Rebel faithful truly feel the need for an iconic Southern officer on their side, they can always dress up a few frat boys as Colonel Sanders. Might even be able to swing a sponsorship deal with KFC.

This is a great place to go have a picnic with your family or to just relax. It has a good view and a good beach.
We stopped in one evening fir one night. The cost was $59 for full hookups. That is more than double of most state park camping fees.
Beals Point has to be the busiest place around Folsom Lake. Boat docks, lots of parking. The designated swimming area and facilities are here. If this is your first time visiting Folsom Lake, this is a good place to start. If you want more privacy, wander around. There are lots of places around the lake to discover. People also stake out a good spot for picnics and shade, so get there early!TIP: Bring an instant canopy. The water's edge is a good walk from real shade.
Camped with a group of 6 families over the summer. The campsites are nice and clean. The Folsom lake recreational area is fun with lots of activities.
I used to love Beals Point. Nice beach, great place to walk dogs on the exposed lake bed when water levels are low. However since the fee increases earlier this year, combined with the fact that these increases were supposed to cover the parks system's budget shortfalls to keep the facility open. That was before we learned the State Parks system was hiding 50+ million dollars from the public and other agencies while crying broke. This park used to be $5 for day use. Then it went to $7, then to $10, and now they want $12. Outrageous. Even though I loved going here, I will not return again unless fees are reduced.

Vegas: Make it Big
Sim City goes to Sin City.
When you get tired of running the railroads and building the next Disneyland, you'll need a break. Where ya gonna go? Vegas, baby! In Vegas: Make It Big, you're charged with running the king of all business ventures: the infamous Las Vegas Strip. As is the norm in tycoon-style sim games, you'll start with little more than a grimy two-bit casino, whichwith a bit of wheeling and dealingwill evolve into a vast multiresort empire. That's right, instead of boring, old buildings, you'll be making Sin City what it is today: trademark thematics, tourist attractions, and all the amoral trappings that come with them.
Developed by U.K.-based Deep Red (which was responsible for 2001's excellent Monopoly Tycoon), Vegas aims to immerse players in a detailed Las Vegas business simulation. It presents a wide range of features and options for the growth of your cash cowattractions, shops, restaurants, gaming tables, slot machines, and security are but a few of the aspects placed under your control. Want to book a horse race or boxing match? How about a roller coaster atop your hotel to keep the kiddies happy? Need to hire more pit bosses to deal with your no-good, cheating guests? You can do it all.
As you construct your gambling megaresort, you'll need to make careful decisions about what types of clientele you'd like to attract. A variety of guest types, ranging from vacationing families to corporate high rollers, are out there just waiting to be lured into your personal playground. Each guest has varying tasteswhile an exotic dance club might attract the big spenders and poor losers, Mom and Dad aren't likely to take the kids out for an evening of lap dances (well, not your parents, anyway). Guests will leave feedback detailing their impressions and desires, and it's your job to keep them happy, which could mean anything from booking a magic act for the kids to hiring some charismatic card dealers in order to keep the money flowing out of your hapless customers' pockets.
The game is presented in full 3D, with quite a few character and building models. True to the tackiness that pervades Las Vegas Boulevard, 10 visual themes are available, including a Greek temple, a neon-heavy space station, and a medieval Japanese palace. Though none of the Strip's real-world resorts are present, the game's handy built-in editor should provide plenty of opportunity for creative minds to whip up their own familiar themes and environments.
Most any type of entertainment venue you could imagine is available for construction, with several unlockable buildings as well. Add several gameplay modes (single-player campaign, mission, and sandbox play) and factors such as competing casinos, special events, and full day/night cycles, and you've got what could very well be a dynamic and well-rounded simulation of the life of a Vegas magnate. When the game is released in October, will it crap out or be a high roller in sim circles? Our bookie says odds are sim fans will get a kick outta this one.

Fall Mini-Preview: The Ghost Whisperer
class=img_thumbleft>September is like Christmas for television's super-heavy users. The airwaves hum with promise. Entertainment rags tease us with exhaustive fall previews. Backsliding movie actors headlining doomed sitcoms insist that they've "always wanted to do TV." Even though we've groaned through this song-and-dance before, September still feels magical, somehow. Network elves struggle adorably with last-minute packaging, affixing shiny bows to their rancid mincemeat. George Lopez's belly shakes like a bowlful of jelly. And we, the eager viewers, can't wait to tear into this year's premieres. Geena Davis as the first female President? Bring it on! Denise Richards as an Amanda Woodward-esque bitch on wheels? Hooray! Jennifer Love Hewitt with the ability to see dead people? Thank you, Santa!
Nope, even J-Love can't scare us off the goodies. The Ghost Whisperer (not affiliated with Ghost or The Horse Whisperer) is Hewitt's second attempt at headlining a series. (Remember Time of Your Life, the spinoff that begged us to care about the milquetoast girlfriend of a character we never liked in the first place?) Surely, we can forgive Hewitt's hubristic misstep, The Audrey Hepburn Story--after all, she doesn't hang with those orange-skinned chainsmoking starlets at the Roosevelt Hotel, and her lad mag interviews always contain numerous modest denials of her own hotness. Unfortunately The Ghost Whisperer looks like a shameless retread of Medium, Joan of Arcadia, and other shows in which luminous young women commune with the supernatural. (Meanwhile, on the Internet, JOA fans are incensed that CBS canned their cult favorite and greenlighted this derivative.) My prediction: The Ghost Whisperer will, surprisingly, be a modest hit. Hewitt will announce her engagement to a costar in time for sweeps. The bust of her runway-sample Vera Wang gown will require considerable alterations.

My-Villages (www.my-villages.com) has taken a major step forward this week in building its leadership team, adding George H. Conrades to the company's board of directors and appointing marine industry veterans Sandy Spaulding and Jim Bronstien to senior advisory posts.
Conrades is chairman of the board of directors of Akamai Technologies, Inc. (www.akamai.com) having previously served as chairman and CEO from 1999 to 2005. He previously served as executive vice president and president of GTE Internetworking following the acquisition of BBN Corporation, the latter of which he served as CEO. Prior to BBN, he was an IBM senior vice president and member of the corporate management board, overseeing IBM United States, IBM Asia/Pacific and two manufacturing and development groups. He presently serves on the boards of Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Oracle and Harley-Davidson, Inc. and is a venture partner at Polaris Venture Partners. He is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
"George Conrades has been a business and technology innovator his entire career," said My-Villages Founder and CEO Kevin Hutchinson. "George is on the leading edge of technology and has his finger directly on the pulse of emerging trends and developments. His desire to help guide and direct My-Villages will no doubt prove to be a major asset in our long term success."
In addition, two senior marine industry experts have joined as independent advisors to assist My-Villages in deploying the marine industry's first digital boating community. Alexander "Sandy" Spaulding and Jim Bronstien have been tapped to help My-Villages navigate through the North American marine community. Spaulding is currently president and managing general partner of Sea Glass Capital Advisors (www.seaglasscapital.com), and formerly served as president of Hinckley Yachts, and EVP and CFO of The Hinckley Company. Bronstien is owner of Marine Business Advisors (www.marineba.com) and formerly owner of Rybovich, prior to selling the company in 2005.
"Both Sandy and Jim bring not only proven marine industry expertise but also a wealth of industry executive relationships to My-Villages and have already contributed significantly to our initial launch and deployment activities," said Hutchinson.
At the 2012 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, My-Villages debuted the boat village with a focus on the marine industry. The boat village offers a first-of-its-kind online destination where boat owners, builders, equipment suppliers and service providers can connect in a free digital community, or village, to share expert information and resources that help them better collaborate to operate, maintain and enjoy their boats.
About My-Villages
Founded in 2011, My-Villages creates online collaboratives where consumers, service providers and product manufacturers can connect in online communities – or villages – specific to the things they own, build and service. My-Villages will improve communication and coordination among consumers and industry professionals through its powerful network and online community and mobile tools, thereby helping consumers better manage and operate the things they own. By bringing experienced product users, service professionals and product manufacturer information into a single online destination, My-Villages has created a collaborative environment that improves the ownership and service experience and ensures product quality and service efficiency – one industry at a time. www.my-villages.com

Based on a new version of the Hipparcos catalog and currently available radial velocity data, we have searched for stars that either have encountered or will encounter the solar neighborhood within less than 3 pc in the time interval from −2 Myr to +2 Myr. Nine new candidates within 30 pc of the Sun have been found. To construct the stellar orbits relative to the solar orbit, we have used the epicyclic approximation. We show that, given the errors in the observational data, the probability that the well-known star HIP 89 825 (GL 710) encountering with the Sun most closely falls into the Oort cloud is 0.86 in the time interval 1.45 ± 0.06 Myr. This star also has a nonzero probability, 1 × 10−4, of falling into the region d < 1000 AU, where its influence on Kuiper Belt objects becomes possible.

Farmers interested in increasing carbon sequestration in their soils should beware reports coming out of the Soil Carbon Research Program (SCRP) because they mistake conventional farming for 'carbon farming'.
"Carbon Farming, under the Carbon Farming Initiative, requires a change in land management with a switch to one or more new practices, not business as usual. Yet the reports coming out of the SCRP claim to give results over periods of 30 and 40 years which make no reference to changes in land management," says Michael Kiely, chairman of the Carbon Farming & Trading Association. The results of a stocktake of soil organic carbon on the Esperance sand plain are the first revealed in WA from the national SCRP. The Department of Agriculture and Food WA (DAFWA), cautioned farmers interested in increasing carbon sequestration, as the Esperance results showed changes might be small and would occur slowly over time.
"Scientists cautioning farmers against expecting to grow soil carbon are like the scholars who predicted that Columbus would sail off the end of the earth because it was flat. They could say that only because they hadn't been there." Mr Kiely maintains that scientific studies commonly under report carbon sequestration rates for many reasons. "They focus on a limited number of practices one at a time, whereas carbon farmers usually apply several techniques together," he says. "The combined effect of these practices applied with the skill of an experienced carbon farmer explains why they commonly report soil carbon sequestration rates up to 10 times those recorded by scientists."
Another reason for under-reporting is failure to sample soil deep enough in sandy soils. "Roots from perennials have been recorded reaching down as far as 7 metres in WA. Where there are roots there is carbon. These SCRP reports are based on only 30cm samples." The most commonly-quoted 'fact' quoted to scare farmers rears its head in this report: soil carbon ties up nutrients such as N and P which are needed for plant growth, making them unavailable and therefore requiring that expensive fertilizer be added. "We need plant growth for carbon sequestration as well, so we have this Alice in Wonderland proposition: we can't grow soil carbon because it will prevent the growth of soil carbon," he says. But the "C locks up N, P and S" conundrum exists only in the world of Theoretical Soil Chemistry. It takes no account of the impact of carbon on factors such as water retention and Phosphorus availability, he says. "Again, conventional science sees sequestration as a zero/sum game instead of the win/win proposition that it is." The research is funded by the Australian Government's Climate Change Research Program and the Grains Research and Development Corporation.

My American Dreams PBS Film Project
For four years, all across the United States, they have come to law offices like ours. They have come with tidy stacks of records from their years in the United States – vaccination cards, dog-eared school grade cards, pay stubs from high school jobs, college awards. The older ones come by themselves or with their spouses. The younger ones come with anxious parents. All of them are expectant, nervous but hopeful.
These are the DREAMers, the young people eligible for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), announced by President Obama in 2012. They are undocumented youth brought here by their parents, usually without a visa. They have grown up in our country without papers and without any certainty as to what the future may hold.
Since 2012, DACA has allowed qualified young immigrants to apply for and receive a temporary reprieve from deportation. Over the past four years, DACA has significantly changed almost one million lives, allowing DACA recipients to work legally, obtain a driver's license, more easily attend university or enroll in other advanced educational programs, pursue careers, and otherwise live as integral members of their communities, just as their peers born here.

2000 Mercury Cougar Hatchback V6 2dr Coupe
I drove my car off the show room floor in 2000 and I'm just now having problems with 90,000 miles and thats with very little to know rust, so I believe I've gotten my monies worth.
2000 Mercury Cougar Hatchback I4 2dr Coupe
I had this for 2 years and it had 83k miles on it when I first had it... But boy oh boy, can the murderous ones look enticing.Pros-It had alright front seatsThe CD player was great.The sound system was awesomeIt's really sporty.Cons-It rusts easily (Muffler fell off after a month of heavy rain after I hit a pothole)There were many electronic issues. (3 batteries, 1 alternator, 4 tune ups within 2 years)Sensor failures almost killed me twice.After 6 months, the boot arms started wearing out.Overall: It's a sporty death trap. Don't buy it.
Borrowed his Cougar a few times. It was swell.Updated: I was too harsh with the ratings. It deserves 5 stars!
I got it as a present from my father before i even had my licence. Mind you he didn't let me pick out the car i wanted or even asked me what I liked in a car. I hate two door cars but i was happy because it was a car.. As soon as I got the car I had to replace the alternator. Then after 2 months of driving it the car starts to jerk every time I drive it so I replace the fuel pump. That does not fix it so it must be the transmission that i have to fix. For all of that i can just buy a new car. There is a lot of recalls on this car
I drive my Cougar every day, 60 miles each way almost with no problems. Gets pretty good mpg. Sporty and safe, the Cougar is the best of both worlds. Not too roomy inside but that's expected.

Love and Theft on Songwriting, Fatherhood & 'Whiskey on My Breath'
Love and Theft's Eric Gunderson and Stephen Barker Liles met and began writing together nearly 10 years ago, thanks to an introduction from Canaan Smith.
Love and Theft's Eric Gunderson and Stephen Barker Liles met and began writing together nearly 10 years ago, thanks to an introduction from Canaan Smith.
Love and Theft's Stephen Barker Liles and Eric Gunderson are celebrating their new record deal, as the artists have just signed with Nashville's Curb Records.
The Cadillac Three rallied their fans for a big Showdown win over the weekend. Strong support from the trio's faithful on Twitter and Facebook proved to be the difference for "Graffiti," a new TC3 song that notched its first Showdown win.
Stay on top of country music's most important stories with Taste of Country's new weekly web series, 'Country Quickie.' Host Nicki D dishes the hottest stories, adding her own unique twist.
Love and Theft are back with new music -- but they sure went through a lot of struggle to get there.
The title track of Love and Theft's new 'Whiskey on My Breath' album lists seven songwriters. Seven! Stephen Barker Liles and Eric Gunderson recently sat down to talk about that and fatherhood, and to play a game you may recognize from grade school.
In their new single, Love and Theft take a common country symbol and turn it on its head to create a lovely and heartfelt country song about their faith. 'Whiskey on My Breath' plays on all the strengths of the popular duo, highlighting their unique harmonies and adding a sweet melody complete with ... is that an accordion we hear?!
'The Voice' winner Craig Wayne Boyd has entered the Hall of Fame with his debut single, 'My Baby's Got a Smile on Her Face.' We start fresh in the Showdown with new songs from Sandra Lynn and Love and Theft.
One half of country duo Love and Theft tied the knot with the love of his life in Nashville on Sunday night (Aug. 24)! Stephen Barker Liles married Jenna Michelle Kennedy in a family-oriented ceremony.
Stephen Barker Liles of Love and Theft got some new ink. The singer's tattoo of a heartbeat has a super sweet meaning, one that will make all fans go, "Awwww."
