Tornados split Senior Day twinbill with Virginia IntermontApril 7, 2010
Mullis hits seventh homer of season in game two
Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College baseball team split a Wednesday doubleheader against Virginia Intermont College at Gil Coan Field. The Tornados (7-27) led 7-1 after two innings in the first game before the Cobras (10-21) scored eight unanswered runs to earn a 9-7 victory in nine innings. BC bounced back in game two, erasing a 6-3 deficit and scoring two runs in each of their final three turns at bat to win 9-6 in seven innings.
The opener saw Brevard score six runs on six hits in the bottom of the first. Four straight singles, capped off by Kellen Moman's two-RBI base hit to left put the Tornados in front 2-1. After a Mathew Pruitt walk, Matt Ennis doubled to left to drive in Moman and Jackie Corn. Senior Michael Calhoun followed with a single to right center to plate Ennis and Pruitt.
Brevard added a single run in the second inning courtesy of a Corn RBI double down the left field line to plate Stephen Mullis. Corn was four for five with an RBI and a run scored. Moman finished one for three with two driven in and a run scored. Kramer Clark added two hits and scored twice.
The Cobras scored two runs in the top of the third to get within four. They cut the Tornado lead to a run with a three run fifth inning. After a Logan Welch single through the box and a Ed Clark double to right Lucas Dobbins hit an infield single to first to plate Welch. Dobbins then stole second and came around to score on Mark Schultz's two-RBI double down the left field line. Clark went a perfect four for four in game one with two RBI and three runs scored. Schultz had two hits in five at bats.
Virginia Intermont tied the game in the top of the sixth when pinch hitter Zach Roberts drove a Shane Galloway pitch over the wall in left for a solo home run, his first of the season.
Brevard would not score after the third inning, and the scheduled seven inning contest went into extra innings. The Cobras scored two runs on three hits in the top of the ninth. With two outs and the bases loaded Tyler Coleman hit a two RBI single to right field.
Corn singled with one out in the bottom of the ninth but that was all the Tornados could manage against Frankie McAteer, who worked two scoreless innings of relief to win his second game of the season. Brevard starter Joseph Lepore worked four and a third innings, allowing six runs on six hits. Jacob White pitched the final three innings and suffered the loss, allowing two runs on four hits and striking out four.
Falling behind 4-0 after the top of the first in game two Brevard responded with two runs in their half of the frame. Corn tripled with two out and no one on and came home after Stephen Mullis hit a drive to left field that bounced over the top of the fence for his seventh home run this season.
The Cobras added single runs in the second and fourth innings.
The Tornado fourth saw Vance Crook and M.A. Dozier hit consecutive singles. Clark brought Crook home with an RBI single to right and Corn plated Dozier with a RBI groundout to third.
Moman led off the fifth with a double to center on an 0-2 pitch. Ron Patterson singled up the middle to drive in Moman and took second base on the throw. Patterson then stole third and came around to score on Crook's sacrifice fly, giving BC the go ahead run.
Brevard added two insurance runs in the sixth inning. Clark got things started with a one-out double to center. Corn was hit by a pitch and both runners advanced on a wild pitch. With two out Matthew Pruitt hit a single through the left side to drive in to and provide the final margin.
Freshman Brennan Daniels worked five and two thirds innings, allowing six runs and seven hits while striking out four to win his first game of the year. Josh Case worked one and a third scoreless innings and struck out two to record his first save.
The Cobras travel to Union College Saturday April 10 for a doubleheader starting at 12 pm.
Brevard goes to Catawba April 9 for the first of a three game series. First pitch of the nine inning game is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Hi all,
I put together a very basic newsletter for a client, and tested it in the various browsers before handing over the work. My client sent the email out to his customers, but alot of them complained they could not see the images.
It turns out the images are being blocked by the email clients, e.g. I need to click "show content" on hotmail, and "show images" on gmail to be able to see the newsletter - which is obviously less than ideal.
Is this something I have done wrong code wise for the clients to be blocking the images?

THIS has truly been an inspiring year. First it was the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, then the Olympics and Paralympics – and this month it was time for an inspirational event closer to home – the INSPIRE12 Business Awards.
About 500 people attended this year's awards finale, held at The Hampshire Court Hotel, in Chineham, for the second year in a row.
The indoor tennis courts were transformed into a magnificent venue worthy of the top awards night which celebrates the best of north Hampshire's businesses.
Before settling down to the business of the evening, guests were able to mingle and network at a champagne reception.
They then enjoyed the evening's entertainment, watching an acrobatic display, and took part in a Heads or Tails game that raised £3,700 for three hospices which provide specialist palliative care for people in the region – St Michael's Hospice, in Basingstoke, the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice, in Farnham, and The Countess of Brecknock Hospice, in Andover.
The competition was won by Sarah Cardew, a partner at Basingstoke-based solicitors Penningtons, who donated her £200 winnings to The Gene Therapy for Cystic Fibrosis Appeal.
The awards in 12 categories went to companies and individuals from across the north Hampshire area.
Phil Wilding, managing director of building firm Wilding Butler, which sponsored the Business of the Year category and who is chairman of the INSPIRE steering committee, said: "This year has been more difficult than any other year to choose the winners. And for those that have won, you are exceptional businesses."
Compering the evening were Felicity Edwards, managing director of not-for-profit organisation Destination Basingstoke, which organised the event, and Gazette Newspapers editor Mark Jones. And, as Mark said, the room was full of winners.
He told the audience: "Although there can be only one winner for each of the 12 awards, all of the finalists should be proud of their success in reaching tonight's awards finale.
"Saying that you are an INSPIRE12 Business Awards finalist is a badge of honour and I would encourage you to wear it with pride."
Felicity thanked the events and awards sponsors as well as The Hampshire Court Hotel, who served the 500 guests with a three-course meal in just over an hour.
"It's been yet another great year as the word spreads about the INSPIRE awards," said Felicity. "Businesses have quite simply learned that INSPIRE is worth entering.
"Destination Basingstoke was proud to be able to manage the event again this year. INSPIRE continues to grow in size and stature, the number of guests and nominations are record-breaking, and the quality of winners goes to show that north Hampshire really is a place that works for businesses, and where businesses succeed."

Discussion in 'Thumpers' started by crankshaft, Sep 6, 2011.
PM sent on Tanks, will they fit an 09?
08-11. All the same. The 2012 are different.. the evo 2 was designed to fit the 12 and the 08-11.
It's got a new fuel pump,
the TPS is correct,
I have tried the akro map.
Does the injector need to be cleaned in a ultra sound cleaner ?
Anyone have the part # for a new injector ?
You have to actuate the injector. this video will give you an idea.
ultrasonic is really the only to get it really clean. you can blow out some crap with a carb cleaner filled tube under pressure but the vibs really clean it.
Anyone in the UK who decides to upgrade to the Evo2 tanks give me a shout if you're thinking of selling your Evo1's
I had gel seat on my 990. I would stay away, very far away from the gel seat. The seat holds heat like crazy. It feels like a nuclear reactor on your arse. It's not any more comfortable yet retains heat. Not good in AZ.
Thanks Bigbugberg ...<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
Also Maurizio ...<o></o>
Clearly not a deafening round of applause for the KTM gel seat ...<o></o>
The heat thing would be a problem here also no rattlesnakes, and our cacti are generally less flamboyant, but otherwise a fair bit in common with Arizona ...<o></o>
Not much wrong with the 690, other than its awful stock seat no problems when the ride is broken up by tight stuff (standing), but misery over 300km or so of the hard fast dirt roads ...<o></o>
Will keep sifting through the options for rectification pun not intended ...<o></o>
I was checking my clearance today and they are loose. So tomorrow I will shim them. On one of my intake rollers it has some funny wear or deposited that I have not seen before.
I have 1700 km to Tbilisi Georgia then I won't be riding for 4 months to rebuild the suspension and whatever else is needed. It seems like my only option would be to get to Georgia then order parts if this should be replaced. Your thoughts?
You sig confirms my thought that it's an 08 based on the pic alone. There was a bad run for bearings for the rockers that a lot of the 08 bikes got. Mostly it manifest as score marks, parallel to the rotation axis of the bearing. I don't see any there, but sure doesn't look right. Does the bearing turn freely?
Bearing turns freely... and theres no sign of heating. Also, the cam doesn't seem to have abnormal wear.
Which is a mercy... I'd be putting a new rocker on my parts list for ASAP replace. In the mean time, if it runs free and (as noted) the cam looks good then you might finish up the trip on it. Rockers are sub $60 (us) so no bad on the budget to replace and very easy as well.
Just keep an ear out for (extra) odd noises
Edit: What everyone else said! :)
Is your TPS adjusted properly? All your tuning is in vain if those two sensors are out of whack. I was down a similar road with my 690 recently..
Do you know the condition of your fuel filter? Mine was past done at 4K miles.
Have you cleaned the injector? Related to the fuel filters griming up early, the fuel injectors get an extra early does of nasty.
And just saying you've used TuneECU doesn't really give sufficient insight. It can be a tool for good or evil...
*Edit - looks like my questions were already addressed....
I'm heading down to Mexico sometime this next year on my 690R.
I have an extra fuel pump already and will purchase an extra injector for that JIC scenario.
The new part # is 75041023144. Cheap @ only $150 bucks for peace of mind.
Turns out the KTM dealer in Istanbul has new Exhaust and Intake rockers for me. I'm replacing those tonight.. they have also let me borrow a shim kit and I will return what I don't use
Onward to Tbilisi
Awesome, hard to find such good dealers these days.
That's good service and luck.....it would take me three weeks to get parts
Also following your RR and digging it.....latest intel suggests Croatia in the summer is the ticket
Have fun riding the slopes....

Having a federally protected spotted owl or prairie dog on property soon could lower property taxes.
The Senate unanimously passed HB112 on Tuesday, and sent it to Gov. Gary Herbert for his signature. It would require county assessors to take into account the presence of federally protected plants and animals when evaluating a property's taxable value.
Its sponsor, Rep. Mike Noel, R-Kanab, said in an earlier hearing, "It's your worst nightmare to have one of these show up on your property," because of limitations on use that it creates. He said relief on the tax burden would help.
However, some conservationists say the measure could allow assessors to arbitrarily devalue land, and seems aimed more at inflaming the politics of endangered species than helping people.

Sea — October 2002
By Capt. Bill Pike
Shut it off! Shut it off!
|Wanna be a better boat handler? Then remember that the point is progress, not perfection.
When I got into the magazine biz, I had no experience handling small powerboats. This was a problem for lots of reasons, but one stuck out. Since the credentials of new, up-and-coming marine writers are of some interest to buyers and manufacturers of boats, as well as readers, word spread not long after I was first hired: ol' Bill's a former commercial seafarer with a big, bluewater ticket and a sextant in his sea bag. Could such a resume belong to anybody but a magnificent close-quarters handler of bowriders, sportboats, and other Lilliputian craft?
The answer was gloomy. Not only had the Almighty failed to provide me with any small-boat-handling experience during my seafaring career, but He, She, or It had handicapped me with a couple of personality quirks that'll mess up the maneuvering of just about any vessel, of any size, at any time. Perfectionism came first. I figured my helmsmanship had to be flawless all the time, even when I didn't know what I was doing. The second was related: anxiety. I was terrorized by the seeming flightiness of small boats around docks and slips. When coupled with perfectionism, this put me under just a little pressure.
An illustrative story. It took place 15 years ago in a big New England marina I don't have the guts to name, since most of the witnesses and participants are undoubtedly still alive and reading marine magazines. Things got off to an innocuous start. I helped my wife into the passenger seat of a high-speed sportboat on loan to me for the summer. Then, upon sliding in behind the steering wheel and cranking our 502-cubic inch V-8, I flicked a glance toward the fuel gauge, and it registered--zip!
Fear took possession of my psyche. It was Saturday, almost noon. The fuel dock was crowded with people and fraught with the copious comings and goings of other boats. Why hadn't I filled the tank during one of the lightly trafficked evenings earlier in the week, to avoid public humiliation? Why? Why? Why?
Our slip was buried at the end of a long, convoluted fairway, seemingly miles from where we needed to go. Moreover, by some fickle twist of fate, the owner of the marina, a woman with enviable small-boat-handling skills, happened to be standing near the gas pumps, talking with a guy who was big in the Coast Guard Auxiliary. He was a helluva boat handler, too.
"Do we have to buy gas?" queried my wife with foreboding. She'd observed my maneuvering techniques with the sportboat before, and she was starting to see just how congested and theater-like the fuel dock was. She smelled fear on me, I'm sure of it.
Getting out of the slip bow-first was a snap--getting back in, stern-first, was the challenge. We cruised the fairway, zigzagging gingerly past bow pulpits and stainless steel props, while I kept a weather eye on the traffic at the fuel dock. A big, fat, aft-cabin cruiser was just finishing up and would shortly leave an open spot, although a fishboat with twin outboards was approaching, apparently intent on laying claim. I throttled up slightly.
"Why are you going so fast?" demanded my wife, launching a string of nervous, fast-paced interrogatives. "Why don't you call the fuel dock and let them know you're coming? Why did you come so close to that last propeller? Why aren't you wearing a life jacket? Why do they call them PFDs now?"

View More Features and Specifications
The Lexus GS competes with midsized sedans from luxury manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, and Mercedes. With two powerful engines, sport-tuned suspension and available F SPORT as GS F editions; the GS checks all the right boxes for a sports sedan -- and the availability of options such as all-wheel drive and a hybrid drivetrain provide further diversity to the genre. The Lexus is packed with the latest gadgets and technology, from its energy-efficient climate control system to Bluetooth connectivity to its advanced direct injection engines, the Lexus GS is a thoroughly modern take on the midsized sports sedan.
Compare the 2016 Lexus GS 200t against similar models
The Lexus GS sedan receives several updates for 2016. Among them, bi-LED headlamps are standard in a refreshed front end, which also includes an updated front bumper, as well as a new rocker panel design along the sides. A new model, the GS 200t, joins the lineup, with a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder and 8-speed automatic gearbox. It produces 241 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with an estimated 33 mpg return on the highway. In the GS 350, the 3.5L V6 now produces 311 horsepower and 280-pound feet, up from 306 and 277 respectively.
A new Lexus Safety System + combines the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist with Automatic High Beam dimming and adaptive Radar Cruise Control.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
Below are pictures of the 2016 Lexus GS 200t. Select the picture you want to view below
Below are the available colors for the 2016 Lexus GS 200t. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The 2016 Lexus GS F performance sedan and the 2016 Lexus GS 200t are new models that join the GS 350 and GS 450h. The Lexus GS models are rear-wheel-drive sports sedans, unlike the front-wheel-drive Lexus ES family sedans, that compete with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, and Infiniti Q70.
The current-generation Lexus GS was introduced as a 2013 model, and it is available with a range of engines that change its character, from V6 to V8 to hybrid.
The 2016 Lexus GS 200t comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 241 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque and uses an 8-speed automatic transmission. Lexus says the GS 200t can accelerate from zero to 60 in 7.2 seconds, which isn't particularly quick. However, we found that there's a delay when you step on the gas pedal, as apparently it needs a moment for the transmission and turbocharger to decide what to do. Fortunately the 8-speed has paddle shifters, so if you flick a lower gear, that snaps the transmission out of it.
The Lexus GS 350 uses 3.5-liter V6 that makes 306 horsepower with the paddle-shifting 8-speed automatic, and feels more like a sports sedan. It can hit 60 mph in a quick 5.7 seconds, and is EPA-rated at 23 miles per gallon Combined city and highway. The GS 350 is available with all-wheel drive, which uses an older 6-speed automatic.
The Lexus GS 450h hybrid is quicker and more fuel-efficient than either the GS 200t or GS 350. With 286 horsepower and 257 pound-feet of torque, the GS 450h accelerates to 60 in 5.5 seconds, and is rated 31 mpg Combined. It doesn't feel sporty, the way the GS F does. Its main competitor might be the Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD. Others include the Mercedes E-Class Bluetec or BMW 528d, diesels that get better highway mileage than the 450h's 34 mpg Highway.
Finally there is the hot one, the GS F that competes with the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, Cadillac CTS-V, and Audi RS 7. It uses a 467-horsepower 5.0-liter V8 with 389 pound-feet of torque. With both direct injection and port injection, running on both the Otto and Atkinson cycles, it gets an EPA-rated 19 mpg Combined, pretty darn good for 467 horsepower.
The 2016 Lexus GS lineup includes the GS 200t ($45,615), GS 350 ($50,000), GS 350 AWD ($50,470), GS 450h ($63,080) GS F ($84,440). (Prices are MSRP and do not include destination charge.
Features include 10-way power seats, leather, rearview camera, satellite radio, Bluetooth with audio streaming, and Remote Touch, the mouse-like controller. For 2016, there's an infotainment upgrade with streaming audio and iHeartRadio, as well as improved map views. There's also a Siri EyesFree mode for use with iPhones. Options include active cruise control with emergency braking, head-up display, and night vision.
We think the GS is the best looking Lexus sedan. It asserts its identity, with its spindle grille framed by a boomerang shape. The sides are square and voluptuous, undulating rearward, and the roofline is calculated to match minimalist interior.
It's upright, with a greenhouse that recalls the BMW 7 Series from 2002 to 2010. The details in front are challenging and bristle with excitement.
The styling of the GS F models is more aggressive, mostly for cooling and aerodynamics. The front fenders are wider, with outlets that vent air from under the hood. The spindle grille is bolder, flanked by air intakes for the transmission and oil coolers. The LED headlamps are L-shaped, with LED turn signals, daytime running lights, and taillamps. Big rocker panels lower the sides, while a carbon-fiber spoiler and quadruple exhaust outlets coming from a diffuser make the car look mean as it races away.
The Lexus GS feels spartan inside, especially around the dash with its horizontal lines and cool ambient lighting at the perimeter. Still, it's elegant, warm and inviting, with excellent fit and finish. The materials are a step better than the German luxury sedans, with padded leather panels in rich shades and wood trim bringing back the softness. In the GS F there's metallic plastic that looks better than that sounds.
The GS goes against the Lexus luxury grain by piping engine and exhaust sounds into the cabin.
A massive 12.3-inch high-resolution display draws your eyes away from big gauges that are crisp and clear. It's like a live performance versus a CD library. Quality plastic trims the dash and console, with metallic highlights around an analog clock that's a Lexus trademark but hard to read. The leather seams are carefully stitched, so many seams it feels like overkill.
Remote Touch uses a haptic joystick on the console to control functions on the screen. We noticed that it fits poorly, with a gap at the side. For 2016 there's a new thumb button for Enter, that improves the function, but the necessary dexterity might be a trick for some.
The 10-way power seats are comfortable and supportive, while the available 18-way power seats have heating and ventilation. The GS F seats have more bolstering. The rear has good head room, but knee room is lacking; forget about the center rear for anyone but small children. But at least the big rear doors make it easy for adults to climb in and out. Heated seats and climate control in the rear are available.
The trunk is shallow for a midsize car, but the opening is wide and there's a pass-through for skis and other long items.
GS F gets aluminum pedals, carbon fiber trim, sport seats exceptional for their comfort and support (in perforated leather along with the steering wheel), and Alcantara leather bits round the cabin.
The new GS 200t powertrain has that unfortunate pause when you floor it, which we've felt in the NX 200t. Even Sport Plus mode doesn't make it go away. The new 8-speed transmission can be fussy going uphill, too quick to upshift and downshift; we found ourselves shifting with the paddles just to get it to stop shifting too much in the normal mode.
It's better in the GS 350 with its 306-horsepower V6. It's a fully modern engine, with direct injection, four valves per cylinder, four cams, and variable valve timing. It's got excellent torque above 3000 rpm, and gains a definite sporty spirit in Sport mode, neatly working that 8-speed transmission that we just complained about in the 200t. It's all in the programming. The all-wheel drive GS with its 6-speed transmission is a bit less quick.
The rear-wheel-drive GS 450h hybrid uses an Atkinson-cycle version of the V6, mated to a 147-kilowatt motor and 30-kilowatt nickel-metal-hydride battery pack, for a total of 338 horsepower. It's fast, comfortable and quiet, while feeling more detached, but hybrids always do. There's an F Sport package that brings back some attachment.
The GS has electric power steering that's nimble and communicative, and a lightweight multi-link suspension front and rear. With its stiff chassis, it handles well on standard 17-inch, 50-series tires, while the ride is more composed than most of its rivals. An adaptive suspension and active steering are available, and they do set a new benchmark on the GS F, but we don't think the GS needs it. The GS actually feels within its element on the track.
The GS F adds 19-inch wheels and tires; stiffer springs, roll bars and bushings; adaptive shocks; variable-ratio steering; and bigger front brakes. Active rear steering is available; it turns the rear wheels a tiny bit, in the opposite direction of the fronts, to pivot the car, adding stability in quick moves. The result is crisp handling, with quick steering and a tight ride, but low tolerance for bumps.
The 5.0-liter V8 in the GS F revs to 7300 rpm with a throaty howl, piped into the cabin and heard like background music through two speakers, one front and rear. You'll hear it for 4.5 seconds from zero to sixty. That's not as much power or speed as the Cadillac CTS-V, BMW M5, or E63 AMG offer, but those engines have superchargers or turbochargers, the Lexus V8 is normally aspirated, and sweetly so.
At 4034 pounds, the GS F weighs 111 pounds less than the lightweight Cadillac, and 356 pounds less than the fat German M5. It drives small (which is good). Its dynamic personality is small, thanks also to torque-vectoring that makes the car respond better in turns. The chassis is stiffened with four underbody braces, the suspension is double-wishbone front and multi-link rear. Two front arms and two rear links are aluminum, reducing unsprung weight. Stiffer shocks, springs and bushings, geometry at both ends changed. Brembo brakes, 15-inch front and 13.5-inch rear, are designed to resist fade.
The ride is reasonable, and it's a fairly comfortable cruiser. The 8-speed automatic transmission is crisp, smooth and responsive, although not as sharp as a good dual-clutch like the BMW. In Normal mode, the steering is light and delightfully quick. If you push it past the grip of the sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, the stability control will save you. If you switch to Sport S or Sport S Plus mode, and put the differential in Slalom or Track mode, the GS F is happy to grip and rotate for you.
The GS 450h hybrid is another story. It has a semi-active suspension and a CVT continuously variable transmission, with eight programmed steps so it feels like an automatic. The modes of Eco, Sport, Sport Plus, and EV each further re-program the CVT and light-touch electric power steering. The brakes have regenerative rigidity with not much braking sensation. If saving the planet is more important to you than driving fun, it's the Lexus to buy.
Four distinctly different Lexus GS models are available to suit the needs and wants of different types of buyers. These are nice, enjoyable cars, though each has a different character depending on the powertrain selected.

CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

Chicago Bears offensive coordinator and former Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Tice told the Chicago Sun-Times that he wants running backs Matt Forte and Michael Bush to each rush for 1,000 yards this season. Tice also relayed that message to Bush when the latter was visiting Chicago as a free agent. The Bears offense finished 24th in the NFL last season with 5,026 total offensive yards.
Fantasy Analysis:
The Bears will certainly need to strike a balance between their stronger backfield and improved receiving corps. With the addition of Brandon Marshall , expectations are higher in Chicago and rightfully so. Tice replaces Mike Martz, an offensive coordinator obviously known for his downfield passing attack. Forte is currently a late first-round pick while Bush is one of the many backup backs coming off the board around the eighth round. If you haven't secured a backup back or two by the ninth round, the pickings get slim very quickly.

Earlier this week, I was fortunate to attend a conference called Digital Summit right here in Atlanta. The conference featured a number of speaker sessions, technology showcases, and networking opportunities, and it was impossible to ignore the unique promo items that took center stage throughout the 2-day event.
From pre-event contests publicized through social media to distinctive promotional monkey hats handed out at the show, sponsors and attendees relied heavily on promo items to spread the word about their brands' products and services.

Post subject: Best batteries?
Just curious-- I've heard that bad batteries can cause a GPSr to do weird things or affect its accuracy. What type of batteries do you prefer to use with your GPSr? Normal alkalines, or is there something even better out there?

A lot of people on the internet tend to spread a lot of misinformation. As long as your batteries provide enough juice to power up your GPSr, it will work fine.
That said, I'm a big fan of rechargeable NiMH batteries. They will save you a lot of money in the long run.

Maybe that's why I have such a hard time finding caches....been using rechargable Energizers...NiMH...but I see they're only 1.2 Volts as compared to 1.5 on the regular batteries. Connected in series, that's 3.0V to 2.4V-quite a difference. Interested to see other comments on this subject.

Okay, good to hear that....you to Moe...didn't see your post....I started using them in a portable cd player and found they lasted longer than regular batteries. A GPSr uses much less power, I'm sure.

I may have to try out the NiMH batteries. I've only used regular old alkalines in mine, but I find that they don't last all that long, especially if I use the backlight. I am not sure about how much juice the WAAS function uses, but a couple of other cachers told me that it sucks up battery life pretty quickly.
I picked up some Energizer Titaniums, or something like that, at Target today. They are supposedly for "high-tech" devices and are supposed to last longer than their standard alkalines. They weren't much more expensive than the standards.
It is time for me to get a battery recharger. I use several gadgets that require AA's anyway.

Eh.. I tried the energizer titaniums and a few other "high tech" batteries in mine, sadly I think they didn't perform as well as my regular old alkaline batteries. I've also tried cheap rayovacs and found they weren't as good. Best deal I've come up with yet is heading over to home depot and buying a 36 bulk pack of energizers (runs around 13-14 bucks). I may eventually try the NiMH ones... Not sure yet.

NiMH batteries suffer from self-discharge. You can't just charge up a bunch and then let them sit in the glove compartment. They will discharge within a month or two. They are great for items that burn thru batteries anyway, like cameras and handheld video games.
Best everyday deal on alkalines that I have found is 24 for $5 at Northern. But you can often find them for less as a loss leader at other stores.

I use NiMH AAs in so many things, that I don't have a problem with self discharge....they never sit for 2 months. My problem now is....if I can't blame the batteries for not finding caches....I must just really suck at it

Best source for cheap alkalines is Costco. My kid used to be in a program in the summer that had really interesting courses. Every year, in a class called adverteasing, the kids tested batteries. They tested Energizers, Duracell and Ray-o-vac. The kids were asked before the test which battery would last the longest and of course they all said the energizer, but for three straight years Ray-o-Vac won the longest lasting contest in identical items and with identical expiration dates on the batteries. I always suspected that if you spent that much on advertising you might have to take something out of the product. Maybe I was right.

One of my other hobbies, electric RC flying, is battery-intensive. What has been said above is correct - NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries are the best for most geocachers since they are readily available in AA sizes and easily charged with wal-wart chargers found at any Radio Shack, Wal-Mart, Target, etc.
I also agree that batteries left in a cache for others or batteries thrown in your caching bag as spares should be the old standard, alkaline. They hold their charge a lot longer.
What we've found in the electric RC community is that the Li-poly (Lithium polymer) packs made from laptop battery packs are awesome for our needs. High capacity coupled with high discharge. Not good for the average cacher yet because they are not easily found in AA. I am really looking forward to the gps manufacturers catching up to the laptop/cell phone makers. It may take some time though.

Nothing beats rechargeable NiMh batteries. 1 NiMH battery would last at least as long as about 140 disposable lithium cells or 500 disposable alkalines.
Digital cameras run the table of size, shape, and price. But they share one thing--the thirst for power
that makes the choice of battery necessary. Their tests point to rechargeable batteries as the clear, cost-effective choice, even if the prices give you sticker
sh0ck .
Their tests included 5 brands of rechargeable nickelmetal hydride (*NiMH*) AAs with their chargers. They come in 3 power levels: 1,800, 2,100, and 2,200 milliamp-hours, or mAh. The higher the #, the longer the batteries can power a GPS(or camera) . But their tests didnt show any major differences in capacity within a power level. In other words, all the batts. worked good.
The rechargeables carry a high initial $$$ (a set of 4batteries plus charger ranges from $50 to $30), but their long life makes them by far more economical to use.
The math:
Suppose a pair of alkaline batteries costs $2.20 and delivers 100 photos. The cost for the same number of pictures from disposable lithium cells will be about $1.40, we estimate. But because nickel-metal hydrides last through 100's of recharging cycles, their cost for 100 photos is only about 1.5 cents.
The tested chargers work equally ok. Three will quick-charge 4 AA cells in about an 60 mins. (The PowerEx takes a bit longer, and the Kodak will quick-charge only 2 cells in an hour and 4 in about two hours.) Two chargers offer a trickle charge that allows you to store batteries in the charger without damaging them. Some accept 240-volt input from foreign outlets, or 12-volt input for use in a car.
Rechargeable NiMH batteries have one major drawback
: They lose 1 percent of their charge each day they are idle
. Thats a good reason to keep a second set in a trickle charger or disposable batteries on hand.

I used rechargable 2100mAh AA for anything that uses AA. In particular I use Energizer because I have found they last the longest for the price.
Though, I might try and hack some IC-3s sometime. Those charge in 15 minutes but can last hours.
And what I like about NiMH over alkaline is the drop off curve. Alkalines sloly loose power while NiMH will just drop off. Both will go unusable dead about the same time so you get a little more life out of the NiMH.

Batteries.com has some incredible deals on batteries- like a 24 pack for less than $5 with very, very low shipping costs. I just purchased about 120 AA Alkaline for about $25 with S&H. You might check there to see if they have your favorite battery. I can't vouch for the quality yet, as they're in route, but if anyone wants me to follow up post, I will.

I really like nikel cadmium batteries... They are used extensively in the aviation industry. They are always going dead (all the time). I have also heard stories of them getting so increddibly hot that they melt right through the brackets and aluminum, and drop out of the nose of the plane onto the cement. Now that I'd sure like to see! Haven't figured out how to use them in my GPSr yet though... Gonna keep trying on that one.

Cyberpunk 2077 trailer released, doesn't disappoint
The highly anticipated trailer for Cyperpunk 2077 made its grand debut today and it didn't disappoint. The new CG trailer shows the Night City Police, with the help of a member of an elite police force called Psychosquad, attempt to stop a woman on a rampage due to the amount of cybermodifications in her body. Sound cyberpunk enough for you?
To help explain the events unfolding in the video, Adam Badowski, head of CD Projekt RED, setup the scene:
The teaser shows how the Psycho Squad might acquire a new member. The Psycho Squad specializes in combating "psychos" – individuals who overuse implants and substances that boost or otherwise alter the human body. There comes a point when they overdose on these innovations, and their bodies start to rebel against their biological body parts as well as against all things organic around them. Simply put, they start killing people, who they now derisively call 'meatbags.'
When a psycho goes on the rampage, strange things can happen. There's going to be a lot of carnage, so the psycho might be taken down by regular police, but they're not always able to get the job done. When things spin out of control, they call in MAX-TAC (Maximum Force Tactical Division), popularly called the 'Psycho Squad'. And these guys are exceptional, these guys are crack troops. The fact that they're proud of that name tells you a bit about their mindset. They wear a badge with their official emblem on their right sleeve, but their left is reserved for their unofficial Psycho Squad emblem. It's primitively made and the image itself is on the crude side of things. It's not unlike a badge special force operators might make and wear to distinguish themselves from the ranks of grunts in any theatre of war.
If you couldn't tell by the trailer, Cyberpunk 2077 is mature-themed sandbox RPG featuring futuristic weapons, implants, and gadgets. It takes place in the fictional Night City, located alongside California's coast. Like the developer's The Witcher series, player's decisions throughout the game will affect the storyline. Players will have a chance to roam the open-world environment and visit iconic places based on the popular pen-and-paper RPB Cyberpunk 2020.
The trailer didn't say a reveal a release date, simply saying "Coming: When it's ready." There was also no mention of platforms.

Have any films or TV programs actually been shot on campus?
In March of 2009, a simulated explosion was set off close to Key Bridge for the filming of a television program pilot, Washington Field.
The most famous movie shot on campus is probably The Exorcist in 1972. Its second sequel, The Exorcist III, was also filmed here in 1990. Scenes for The Pelican Brief, starring Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts, were shot at the Law Center in July 1993. Parts of Born Yesterday, a remake of a 1950 comedy of the same name, were shot in a Healy Hall classroom in August 1992. More recently, in April 2003, the TV show The West Wing shot scenes in front of Healy Hall for "Commencement," an episode at the end of its fourth season. A mock commencement stage was built and over the course of eight hours a graduation sequence was filmed, incorporating Georgetown students as extras. On the show, the President's daughter, Zoey Bartlett, attended Georgetown.

Post subject: Jeez...
I don't know about u guys, but i really am gettin sick and tired of other people havin some gripe over guys goin to other teams... Praising them for bein good players, but when they leave "Oh, i was never really high on them"...or "There ok players, not all that great though"...and "they're not that good, and they'll have a bad year next year". Why can't people just say "Hey, thanks for what u did for our team and good luck wherever u go" instead of just bashin them or watever and sayin they suck or they're no good... Gimme a friggin break... If they went to another team, they went to another team, and you'll go out and get a replacement, who might even be better, so what's the big deal?
For example, Ravens fans seemed to be delighted bout the fact that they got Samari Rolle, and are glad that Baxter is gone. How bout just sayin "Hey Gary, thanks for what u did here, and we wish u luck with the Browns" "Though i'm very excited that we got Rolle and think he'll do great in our defense"... And please stop givin me this b.s. bout Baxter takin the money or watever cuz first of all, Rolle got pretty much the exact same deal as Rolle. The Ravens offered Baxter the same amount like the Browns, so if Baxter went to the Browns, then that means somethin went sour with the Ravens, and they both moved on...The Ravens got Rolle and apparently he's better than Baxter according to them, so what's with the constant trashing of Baxter? U said u guys got a better DB, so what's the problem? Jeez...

I think that just goes to show the kind of fans Baltimore has. No offense, but show some decency. Before Baxter signed, I was in the Cowboys forum congratulating them on their signing of Anthony Henry. It was cool to see other fans getting excited about a player we had to convince other fans was any good at all. The Bills got themselves a good QB, but an even better man. Kelly's work ethic and level head throughout some tumultuous times always impressed me. I'm glad the man who is replacing him is equally respectable.
If a player leaves your team through free agency, you can't get mad. It's a business, and you can't be mad when a business decision does not go your way. You wish them luck, and move on.

I think cleveland has always done a nice job of recognizing and cheering for most of its players that have left. I can't think of any Browns that come to mind as becoming "evil" once they left town other than of course the former owner whom I shall never mention. Even recent players with some issues like KJ and Warren are wished well in their new setting. In the other sports I can only think of Albert Belle and Boozer as receiving the fans wrathe for leaving. All around I believe this is the BEST sportstown and with SAVAGE in control we will show it on the field for a change!

In my defense, a lot of my trashing was immediately after the signing, i've since calmed down and yes i'm happy for baxter. ditchdigger gave me the best explanation about why baxter isn't in baltimore, i'm happy for him if hes happy. i think you guys are getting a heck of a player too, a better safety than corner but still a good CB. just never match him up against TO

Mark hunt won that fight.. Overall a great night of MMA
Mark Hunt has an impressive 9-8 record shouts greatness. A BUM
Mark Hunt is so slow and Silva is just a big 4 foot face with little stamina. great fight between two bums basically.
You my friend,are an idiot. You wouldn't know a good fight if you saw one.Hey champ here's a question for you. What is your record in the ufc? Or better yet what is your record anywhere? Keep eating your Doritos,watch the fights,and hug your couch cushions but please don't give anymore commentary.Why you might ask? Because you're an embarrassment to yourself. Have a nice day!
Shut up.
I'm glad you called yourself #2 because you saved me the trouble of doing it. Way to be truthful.
Mrs Silva I presume
That all you've got? Seriously? Please don't post anymore because you're too stupid to post.
That's Mrs Big foot.
Silva's face is the size of Uriah Faber.
I wish the referee wouldn't have stopped the fight in the fifth round to check bigfoot out. The momentum shifted to bigfoot after that. Hunt was potshotting bigfoot before that and might have taken him out. Of course, I was rooting for Hunt though. Did anyone else think that?
ist fight I ever saw that was in slow motion. Those to sorry slow stiffs are terrible.
Silva and Hunt were frozen solid before the fight and fought frozen. so slow.

Anyone watching? Looks like a good one so far.
once again tackling is killing Texas....specifically Phillips.
They also need to shore up their run defense.....Randle is running through huge holes for big gains.
I did not like the 3rd down call on the drive where Texas had to punt. I hate when my teams throw quick passes that are not beyond the sticks.....I feel Ash rushed the pass...he had time and TE Grant was getting open beyond the sticks.
Davis is killing me with his drops.......should be 28-17 rt now
Reminds me of a certain #82 with our Cowboys.
There is fantastic parity in this conference, all nail biters to date.
or #81 during Romo's first few seasons
Good physical drive by the Horns there...
All down to the D now..... time to cash in
Play some defense will ya?
guess not lol
Wow... that OSU guy CLEARLY touched the ball on kickoff... awful call...
Oklahoma State recruits good kickers
Wow..what a throw by Ash.
wow lol
Amazing clutch drive by Texas...
Great game...
No upset special tonight, but yet another nail biter finish in the Big 12.
Horrible clock management by Texas
Now play some freaking defense for 30 seconds.
Wow Ash is a superstar in the making. Looks like Texas is back
Dont know why Texas was rushing after that last completion and then calling the timeout.

For some an itch and for others a yearning, but we all like some subtlety. So it's completely natural to love the movies of Quentin Tarantino and Baz Luhrmann—simultaneously. Some of the most sensitive, subtle material in current American film comes from these two directors.
Draw a line between the subtle and the obvious, and you'll often cross both out. Subtlety is a layer (or six) down. If you strip away all discernible surface what was subtle is suddenly bare and becomes what's obvious. Being obvious actually produces the potential for subtlety. Subtlety's real danger is the cliché. To be sure, inspiration from art or incorporation of others ideas is the stuff which keeps art going. But original thought get trashed into cliché if the idea is carelessly repeated. It's like wearing all your clothes inside out to redesign your entire look. You've just reversed the gesture and it often ends up being another cliché. The trick to being subtle is to skirt around clichés without being cliché.
I'll test this in the details for both directors.
For The Great Gatsby, Luhrmann had this challenge: the potential snares of period-style pieces. Realistic vintage clothing is notoriously distracting from the actual story. I know several Downton Abbey circles who are "just watching for the costumes." Luhrman glides through the problem hilariously. The gaudier, more garnish and tawdry his costumes get, the less distracting they are. The costuming—particularly in the party scenes—is similar to MTV music videos. And unlike MTV in recent years, this actually works. Pop culture has a strong visual language of the garish and gaudy. With it, Luhrmann is able to shade off the indications that this is a period piece. He cuts off our associative links to old high school curriculums and Robert Redford by gesturing to the current day. And he does it without turning a single shirt inside-out.
Tarantino's Django takes a different route. How are Westerns revived? Joss Whedon's Firefly and the Cohen Brothers True Grit remake have already broken new ground in visual and conceptual redesign. So Tarantino charts a new course through the soundscape. Right from the first scene—all those spurs, stirrups, bits, guns, chains, and giant springs with a nodding, fake tooth for a plume. They pop as though the editor put less effort in the blending and overlapping process. It's not an interruption; it's non-representational dialogue. Then there's the actual accent of Dr. King Schultz. After all, what's a Western without all the accents? Wait…which accents? There's one loophole in the cliché which Tarantino dives into, creating a strong contrast with Calvin Candie's all-too-familiar southern verbal syrup. And all throughout, the audience is hearing a seamless blend of Gospel and rap, Spirituals and Ennio Morricone. What we tend to separate, genre by genre, Tarantino appropriates into one big bite of cohesive art.
Together, these films both follow a gentle but significant curve away from traditional love stories. Both trace the outcome of men who, desperately in love, turn tyrannical, insisting that any relationship with their women is better than none. As a recently freed slave, Django's first choice is his choice of clothes. He opts for an azure blue, pre-colonial gentleman's suit. His partner attributes it to his "flair for the dramatic." That flair explodes when Django embraces his acting role as a freed-slave-turned-slave-dealer, showering slaves, freeman, and dandies alike with charmless sass. And in a climactic grasp for freedom, he crosses from freedman to outlaw, condemning his wife to be on the run with him for life.
Meanwhile, Gatsby's gives the overall impression of a man with boundless power, yet he doesn't have enough self-control to listen to the woman he loves. Nick gets a taste of how limitless Gatsby's influence is when Gatsby's servants descend, uninvited, to transform Nick's humble home for one afternoon of tea with Daisy Buchanan. Gatsby continues to draw near to Daisy on the basis of his endless means. After all, his power seems to sets him free to do anything he wants. The day he wants Daisy to choose him over her husband, he cannot let her be free to do it. He inserts himself to make the choice for her. The story of what lengths a man will go to in order to get a woman has been told. Tarantino and Luhrmann take that and nuance it, giving less room to justify what the man wants and more space to depict how much fear, hatred, and other antithesis of love infiltrate that man's journey.
Both of these directors understand that making movies which build up raw and spectacular awe inside of us requires a subtle touch. Christopher Nolan and his predecessor, the Wachowskis, have delivered films with refined, intellectual design and they work well enough to generate conversations and deeper thinking. But the subtlety of Luhrmann and Tarantino sets them apart. Their subtlety is a force that pounds past your head, your boredom, and your wariness and into those secrets—sensual and violent and vulnerable—which aren't always visible to your mind. In this way, their subtlety brings our peripheral vision into focus, either to strike us with new beauty or indicate places of possible self-deception.

USC establishes fund to assist needy individuals
The University of South Carolina's Continuing Education & Conferences Department is offering scholarships for its professional certificate programs to those adversely impacted by the economy.
"Many South Carolinians are currently out of work or underemployed because they have not been given an opportunity to improve their skills to match the marketplace," said Eric McGee, director of Continuing and Professional Education. "The university's Professional Education Certificate Programs help participants develop those skills and become more marketable in as little as five days."
McGee said the programs include website design, paralegal studies, sustainability, grant writing and Six Sigma.
The scholarship fund will enable 20 candidates to pursue professional certification. Scholarships up to $500 will be awarded to offset tuition costs.
Website design
This program includes the fundamentals of starting and managing a website. Students will get hands-on software training and create a fully functional website to include in a professional portfolio.
Paralegal studies
Taught by lawyers and members of the State Bar of South Carolina, this six month, six-module program concentrates on areas ranging from legal research and analysis to locating and interviewing witnesses. USC's program is approved for Workforce Investment Act (WIA) funding.
Participants earn a nationally recognized certificate in one week with the Building Performance Institute (BPI) energy auditor certificate program. With BPI certification, graduates are qualified to perform home energy audits, the foundation of this rapidly growing industry.
Grant writing
The four-course program prepares participants to write successful grant proposals in response to grant announcements and to seek unsolicited proposals.
Six Sigma
Professionals who earn a Six Sigma certificate from USC will be prepared to examine the effectiveness of operations, implement improvements to reduce costs and define long-term growth opportunities. Participants will work on an independent project addressing specific challenges of their organization. Applicants must have explored and/or exhausted Workforce Investment Act funding options and submit a letter stating how the program will assist their career search. Once awarded, the scholarship must be applied to classes that start before June 30, 2011.

Custody hearing for Mindy McCready's sons scheduled for April
Listen to Mindy McCready on iHeartRadio
The late Mindy McCready's children will apparently remain in foster care for several more weeks. People.com says a hearing has been set for April 5th to address custody of the boys.
Arkansas authorities had taken six-year-old Zander and ten-month-old Zayne from the country singer earlier this month, after she was ordered into a treatment program for mental health and substance abuse issues. McCready only spent a couple of days at the facility, but her sons still hadn't been returned to her last weekend, when she took her own life.
People describes Zander and Zayne's situation as "custodial limbo." Zander's father, Billy McKnight has been seeking custody of his son since he was removed from McCready's care ten days before she died.
Meanwhile, Mindy's mother Gayle Inge and her husband Michael, who live in Florida, want to take in their grandsons. And they seem to have the authorities on their side.
A Department of Human Services order sent to the judge supports granting custody to the Inges. Over the years Gayle has been Zander's legal guarding during Mindy's other stints in rehab. He also lived with her when Mindy served time in jail for probation violations stemming from a drug arrest.
Zayne's father was Mindy's boyfriend David Wilson, whose shooting death last month is still under investigation.

2005.17: Computing the Polar Decomposition and the Matrix Sign Decomposition in Matrix Groups
2005.17: Nicholas J. Higham, D. Steven Mackey, Niloufer Mackey and Françoise Tisseur (2004) Computing the Polar Decomposition and the Matrix Sign Decomposition in Matrix Groups. SIAM Journal On Matrix Analysis and Applications, 25 (4). pp. 1178-1192. ISSN 1095-7162

For any matrix automorphism group $\G$ associated with a bilinear or sesquilinear form, Mackey, Mackey, and Tisseur have recently shown that the matrix sign decomposition factors of $A\in\G$ also lie in $\G$; moreover, the polar factors of $A$ lie in $\G$ if the matrix of the underlying form is unitary. Groups satisfying the latter condition include the complex orthogonal, real and complex symplectic, and pseudo-orthogonal groups. This work is concerned with exploiting the structure of $\G$ when computing the polar and matrix sign decompositions of matrices in $\G$. We give sufficient conditions for a matrix iteration to preserve the group structure and show that a family of globally convergent rational Pad\'e-based iterations of Kenney and Laub satisfy these conditions. The well-known scaled Newton iteration for computing the unitary polar factor does not preserve group structure, but we show that the approach of the iterates to the group is precisely tethered to the approach to unitarity, and that this forces a different and exploitable structure in the iterates. A similar relation holds for the Newton iteration for the matrix sign function. We also prove that the number of iterations needed for convergence of the structure-preserving methods can be precisely predicted by running an associated scalar iteration. Numerical experiments are given to compare the cubically and quintically converging iterations with Newton's method and to test stopping criteria. The overall conclusion is that the structure-preserving iterations and the scaled Newton iteration are all of practical interest, and which iteration is to be preferred is problem-dependent.

Place your bets! What will baby KimYe's name be?
Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio
Moments after Kim Kardashian gave birth to her daughter on Saturday, it wasn't just the blogosphere that erupted. Bookmakers and online betting sites began booming!
Irish bookmaker Paddy Power has a slew of potential "K" names for infant, including Kay (20/1), Kim (8/1) and Kris (20/1). They have even thrown it out there that the celeb couple could name their child after themselves — Kimye is priced at 25/1. Katherine (50/1) and non-K names like Mia (33/1) and Lara (33/1) were also included, reports the New York Daily News.
The Kardashian familiy is notorious for picking names that begin with the letter "K": Kim, mama Kris, Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall and Kylie. Plus, daddy Kanye West also contributes to the trend.
According to Live Odds and Scores, Krystal (10/1) tops Ladbrokes' shortlist of possible "K" names for the Kardashian-West baby. Kristen (12/1), Kara (14/1) and Kacey (14/1) were also mentioned.
Meanwhile, sites like BetVictor are also taking odds on who the godparents will be, with Khloe Kardashian, Beyonce and Jay-Z topping the list.
Earlier this year the reality TV star admitted a "K" name would be a large possibility. "I think it would be really cute cause Kanye and I are both K's… but half the names on our list aren't K's… we still have time, whatever feels right," she told Extra in March, adding, "Kanye being the father wants something that's unique."
While we understand the obsession with the letter "K," I'm putting my money on some sort of homage to Kanye's late mother Donda West.

Gender Matters: Women, Social Policy and the 2012 Election
Tuesday, April 2, 2013
American University Washington College of Law
4801 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC
The 2012 election saw bold statements from both sides regarding social and economic policy, and plenty of fishing for women's votes. However, the real needs and concerns of women are not easily reduced to a single issue or to an easy sound bite. While some policies specifically target women or discrimination on the basis of sex, the gendered dynamics of other proposals are often more nuanced and difficult to detect. The symposium will explore how current or proposed social policies affect the lives of women and their families. Speakers will also analyze what role, if any, rhetoric about those policies played in the recent election.

"Luxemburgo distrusts a big club like Sao Paulo and it means he also distrusts me. But how am I going to spray gas at myself? It was a very serious incident. If I had been trying to pull a fast one, then I would have taken the team off the field at halftime and abandoned the game. I hope he regrets his comments."
-- Sao Paulo coach Muricy Ramalho responds to
insinuations from Palmeiras coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo that Ramalho was responsible for the mysterious gas that forced Sao Paulo players to flee their locker room at halftime of their
game at Palmeiras' stadium. Luxemburgo was implying that it was a ploy by Sao Paulo to discredit Palmeiras's stadium. The unidentified substance had caused irritation to their eyes and nostrils. (Reuters)

Toddler Saves Elderly Man Trapped in Hot Car
(NEWSER) – The "hot car" and the "saving" part are the same, but the roles have been reversed: An elderly Tennessee man who found himself trapped in his hot car in a church parking lot on Saturday was rescued—by a 3-year-old. As Bob King explains to WVLT, "we've had a little problem with the switch on this car," and while waiting for his wife to finish up at an event at Knoxville's Vestal Baptist Church, the 68-year-old found himself stuck after his car doors automatically locked. ABC News reports he didn't have a key, leaving him unable to turn on the AC or open the windows; it was 91 degrees outside, and King is in poor health.

COLUMBUS: After losing shooting star Tayler Hill's 21 points a game and running-mate Amber Stokes who averaged 10, it figures that new Ohio State coach Kevin McGuff will need to rely on the Buckeyes to shut down other teams.
"One of our biggest strengths is going to need to be our defense," said McGuff, a former Xavier coach who was hired away from the University of Washington to replace fired 11-year coach Jim Foster last spring. "We have some size around the basket and enough athleticism on the perimeter to kind of put together a team that can really, really defend.
"Especially early on as we try to find our way on offense."
Anything short of being a great defensive team and the Buckeyes likely will scuffle in a year of transition.
They return three starters from an 18-13 team — guards Raven Ferguson and Ameryst Alston and center Ashley Adams — but are sorely in need of someone to take the tough shots. Those three combined for just 22 points a game. Only one other player on the roster averaged as many as 4 points a game.
Ferguson was suspended on Thursday for the first three games for a violation of team rules.
McGuff must have Adams, in particular, contribute at the offensive end. A brawny 6-foot-5 senior, she is a terrific passer and shot-blocker who has never asserted herself in terms of scoring.
Asked if she's comfortable being a go-to player at the offensive end, she said, "I'm getting more comfortable each day, I'm learning that I can put it up more often."
Alston will play the point after an eye-opener of a freshman season in which the two-time Associated Press Ms. Basketball in Ohio averaged 6.5 points and 2.7 assists a game.
She believes the best way to make up for the loss of Taylor and Stokes — a top WNBA draft pick and a former Big Ten defensive player of the year, respectively — is to step up the pace.
"Everyone has to be involved, whether you're in the game, on the bench, cheering your teammates, or the coaches as well," she said. "We're all pushing each other. I feel that's how you keep the tempo up."
McGuff, who spent nine years as the head coach at Xavier before winning 41 games the last two seasons with the Huskies, will hope his team's speed can create some chaos that results in easy baskets.
In a 101-48 rout of overmatched Bellarmine in a preseason game, McGuff went with four guards roiling the waters around Adams. They created 28 turnovers. Nine players put in double-figures in minutes and a metronome might have had trouble keeping up.
Cait Craft — you might know her brother, Buckeyes' pest supreme of a point guard, Aaron Craft — and Maleeka Kynard made up the remainder of the starting five. Coming off the bench are role players Amy Scullion, Martina Ellerbe, Darryce Moore, Lisa Blair, Shelbi Honeycutt and Aleskandra Dobranic.
"If we're not at the level (of conditioning) that coach wants us to be, we're just going to run a lot more in practice," warned Scullion, a frequently injured fourth-year junior who hasn't really had a chance to show what she can do until now.
That's the thing: A lot of people will get a chance to play. None will be as good as Hill, or even Stokes, but the Buckeyes hope to swarm teams by throwing a lot of people at them.
Ferguson said she knew things had changed when she wasn't feeling well earlier this fall and told McGuff.
"He said, 'Can you practice?' And I said yes. Then he was, 'Can you practice hard? 110 percent?'" she said, smiling. "It was, like, 'Yeah, I care that you're sick but once you get on the court, it's all over.'"
Foster was fired last spring after 11 years of success — until his teams got into the NCAA tournament. The Buckeyes were a top-10 team for almost a decade, but whenever they appeared at the big dance they became shrinking violets.
This team will have its hands full getting to the postseason. It opens Friday at West Virginia and plays several other toughies — defending national champion Connecticut, Maryland and Georgia — before even getting into the Big Ten, where the Buckeyes finished eighth a year ago.
"(The non-conference schedule) is going to really kind of expose us — strengths, weaknesses — early on and give us some direction where we need to get better," McGuff said. "We'll have some tough moments. You can't play a schedule like that without having tough moments but we do have the character and work ethic to fight our way through it."
