The opening keynote is a product keynote. For some products, launching them on a developer conference makes sense. The next generation Macbook pro requires developers to adapt their code. So it makes sense to make an announcement when you have the crumb of them gathered. Apple did the same for the switch to intel, when they announced the first intel-enabled product in the same form factor. Needless to say Retina Displays will trickle down in all Apple form factors eventually.
The WWDC opening keynote is just a warm-up and a kickstart for the week-long WWDC. After the opening keynote usually follows a technical keynote, which goes more into the meat and the potatoes. And ofcourse, there are the week-long sessions for getting into the gritty details.
If you're really interested in getting to the bottom, make sure you get a WWDC ticket; or at least a paying Apple Developer account; which usually has access to WWDC related sessions as well.

Symbols are words, images, sounds, objects, concepts, or actions which represent some other entities or realities. They have the power to unite different human feelings, thoughts, and experiences into coherent meanings. Symbols are polyvalent, carrying multiple meanings, and must be distinguished from signs. Signs give information and are limited to specific contexts, e.g., stop signs have no meaning outside of situations of potential danger and function only as warnings. Symbols, however, reveal realities beyond the context in which they are found and beyond the limits of their physical or conceptual boundaries, e.g., a gun is a symbol of violence, danger, coercion, or sport no matter where it is found. The realities discerned through symbols can only be apprehended by means of the symbols. Thus, they function as windows onto the unseen. Symbols share in realities they represent. Therefore, the basic characteristics or qualities of a symbol can be extended so as to "re-present" other realities. (To use an earlier example, a gun's structure and purpose is to stop movement or to intimidate a victim, thus the realities of death, fear, and power which it represents can be understood.)
Symbols cannot be created by manipulation. Words, objects, and actions may first emerge as signs in certain settings. Later, they may become symbols as they are repeated and more meanings and experiences cluster around them. Symbols emerge within communities which share a common worldview, common experiences, and common goals.
Religious symbols most often represent some aspect of the sacred presence which infuses life. (God is this presence in Judaeo-Christian traditions.) While this sacred presence cannot be directly perceived with human senses, it can be discerned and experienced symbolically. Many religious symbols are highly stylized and recur in the history of the tradition. They evoke certain feelings and memories in those who understand the objects or words to be symbols. A cross, an apple, a serpent, a lamb, the Bible, baptism, feetwashing, bread, and wine are examples of such symbols prominent in Christian faith. To understand these symbols is to know something of the nature of God and the experience of faith. Other religious symbols are more diffuse and less structured. They are generally not considered to be at the center of Christian faith and experience; their meanings are contextually or culturally bounded. The prayer veil, wedding bands, the dove, and various ceremonial artifacts are examples of diffuse symbols. Yet, in specific settings, these symbols have the power to represent to and for the community something of God's essence.
Since symbols arise from human experience, their meanings can only be discerned through the activities of human life. Religious symbols can communicate their meanings only as the realities they represent have been experienced by believers. The identity of a believer in any religious tradition results from being taught its primary symbols and from competently using or understanding them. Worship is the primary setting where the religious symbols of a faith tradition are presented, experienced and appropriated. They reveal the worshiping community's basic beliefs. While these symbols may be taught and explained in other settings, it is in worship that they are lived. Through them the community of faith represents itself to God and to the world, and the Godhead is represented to the community. Thus, religious symbols have a reflexive character; through them two-way communication is possible.
Each religious community or tradition reinforces certain symbols, consciously or unconsciously, according to the frequency of their presentation in worship. Among Roman Catholics, for example, the symbol of the Eucharist is essential to worship. For contemporary Mennonites the Eucharist (communion) is not an essential symbol for worship, even though it is an important observance. Congregational singing, hearing God's word, and preaching are essential symbols. The symbols which are repeatedly presented in the worship context will shape the spiritual life of that community. Attention will be focused on certain aspects of the sacred realities represented in these symbols while other aspects may be forgotten or ignored. This process, in part, accounts for the distinctions found among various Christian traditions.
While it may be assumed that the community of faith selects and regulates the symbols presented in worship, it may also be presumed that each individual believer has certain symbols which are particularly meaningful for private devotion. These symbols may correspond to the believer's tradition or community. The symbols may be borrowed from other traditions or emerge from a significant experience in the believer's life. These private symbols will shape the spirituality of the individual, providing a point of orientation for his or her decisions, ethics, and lifestyle.
Anabaptists and Mennonites have been particularly suspicious of religious symbols ever since their beginnings in the 16th century. Ulrich Zwingli's restricted view of symbolism in worship was shared by most Anabaptists. A symbol, in their view, functioned essentially as a sign with obvious and unambiguous meanings. Zwingli's ideas about symbols were a reaction to the stylization and excessive manipulation of symbols found in the Catholic Mass. He and the Anabaptists failed to grasp the fact that human beings are symbol-making and symbol-utilizing creatures. Human activity or interaction is impossible without the use of symbols. Only through the medium of symbols can the gathered community encounter the presence of the persons of God in worship.
There is a tendency in modern culture and among Mennonites in general to limit the meanings of commonly used religious symbols and symbolic activities. The temptation to concretize the symbol's meaning or to create a one-to-one correspondence between symbol and meaning is strong. However, the meaning of symbols, particularly religious symbols, are polyvalent, expressing a variety of meanings. This multiplicity provides for richness in personal and corporate religious experience. This fact explains how common symbols, like communion, can stir controversy within congregations and between churches when certain meanings are emphasized over other possible meanings. Many of the recent ecumenical discussions with regard to baptism, Eucharist (communion), and ministry have emphasized expanding and incorporating the various traditional meanings clustered around these symbolic actions and coming to agreement on the range of possible meanings.
At the risk of exclusion, the following religious symbols may be said to be primary for Mennonites. (1) The person of Jesus -- a symbol of God revealing God's nature and relationship to humankind. (2) The Word of God -- a symbol of the incarnated Christ, the written biblical text revealing the activity of God in the world and the authoritative and creative power of preaching. (3) The Cross -- a symbol revealing the means of human salvation, a life of suffering, submission, and discipleship. (4) The community of faith, the church -- a symbol revealing the presence of Christ in the world, the reality of God's kingdom, the mission of evangelization, the locus of Christian fellowship, mutual accountability, and support. (5) Baptism -- a symbol revealing personal salvation, new spiritual life, a commitment to Christianity, fellowship in the community, accountability, and discipleship. (6) Communion -- a symbol revealing the covenant of salvation between God and humanity, fellowship, reconciliation, gratitude, and the memorial of Christ's passion. (7) Congregational singing -- a symbol revealing congregational unity, personal submission to the community, public affirmation of faith, and spiritual vitality. (8) Bible study -- a symbol revealing the desire for faithfulness and moral living, congregational unity, democracy, fellowship, and belief in the authoritative power of God's word. (9) Prayer veiling -- a symbol (for some Mennonite women) representing humility, submission to Christ's headship, and separation from the world.

Agree. I've seen some boards who died for this reason. It is clear that Theravadins cannot agree with many other religions or some concepts of other buddhist schools. Even within the Theravada there are some contrarian ways of thinking. I think it would be better to discuss only the Theravadin view here on DW.Ben wrote:Its my opinion that comments, whether intentionally or intentionally, provocative, comments which could be perceived as sectarian in nature, are death to a board like ours.

Educating older patients helps taper off sleeping pill use
Older people are willing and able to get themselves off medications like sleeping pills once they're informed of the potential harms, according to a new Canadian study.
"Even among patients who have been taking sleeping pills for 30 years, many of them in their 80s and 90s were able to get off the sleeping pills once they realized that these pills could cause falls, memory problems and car accidents," lead author Dr. Cara Tannenbaum of the University of Montreal told Reuters Health.
While Valium, Xanax and similar medications, known as benzodiazepines, are not recommended for older adults given such risks, up to one-third of older adults still take them, usually to treat insomnia or anxiety, according to Tannenbaum and her colleagues.
Doctors know about the dangers these drugs pose to their patients, the investigators write in JAMA Internal Medicine, but nearly half say they renew benzodiazepine prescriptions for their older patients anyhow, "citing patient dependence and benefit as justifications."
Tannenbaum's team wanted to see whether educating older patients taking benzodiazepines about the risks would be an effective way to encourage some to stop using the drugs.
They recruited 303 patients from 30 different pharmacies, then randomly assigned the clients of half the pharmacies to receive a booklet describing the risks of benzodiazepine use, along with instructions on how to taper off the medications safely as well as information on alternative strategies for treating insomnia and anxiety.
A copy of the booklet given to patients taking the drug lorazepam (Ativan) is available as a PDF file on the journal's website (here: bit.ly/1r2Z4p7) for the next 30 days.
Patients who used the other 15 pharmacies served as a comparison group that continued receiving their usual care.
Overall, the researchers found, 62 percent of the patients who received the booklets initiated a conversation with their doctor or pharmacist about getting off benzodiazepines.
Six months into the study, 27 percent of the patients who received the booklets had stopped taking benzodiazepines, versus 5 percent of the comparison group.
Patients in the study ranged from 65 to 95 years old, and even the oldest patients were able to succeed in discontinuing the medication, Tannenbaum and her team point out in their report.
Many types of drugs, including benzodiazepines, can be harmful to older people even if they are relatively safe in younger adults, Tannenbaum said.
As we age, she explained, our kidneys have to work harder to clear medication from our bodies, meaning drugs can build up to higher levels in the blood. Compounding the problem is the fact that many older adults are on a host of medications, which can interact with one another to cause dangerous side effects.
"I think medicine these days is more about choices, and I think that patients have to be informed about the different choices," Tannenbaum added. "A lot of people believe that when you start a medication then you can never stop it . . . there's always room to question these decisions depending on what's important to the patient at that time."
For example, she said, a younger person may want to take a benzodiazepine so she can be sure to get enough sleep before a big presentation. But when she gets older, she may decide that the side effects - like morning drowsiness and fuzzy memory - aren't worth the risk, and opt for non-drug strategies for sleeping better.
"It's this dynamic nature of medicine that's really changing, because people are living longer and their priorities change," Tannenbaum said.
Older patients who take benzodiazepines are twice as likely to have unwanted side effects as they are to have improved sleep, according to Dr. Ariel Green, a geriatrics specialist at Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore.
"They really have meager benefit and it's far outweighed by substantial risks," said Green, who was not involved in the new study but took part in the American Geriatrics Society's Choosing Wisely Workgroup, which developed the recommendation against using benzodiazepines as first-line treatment for insomnia in older adults.
"This study is good evidence that people, when presented with these risks, are really eager and able to change these habits," Green told Reuters Health.
She said that older patients on benzodiazepines for insomnia may want to talk with their doctor about stopping them.
"They can safely stop these medications with their doctor's help, and there are nonpharmacological approaches for improved sleep that are safer and have actually been shown to be more effective," Green said.

Sia has taken to twitter to implore Kanye West to go fur free for his new fashion line. The Yeezy Season 5 line includes several large fur coats and accessories.
The big reveal fashion show took place at NYC's Pier 59 Studios on February. 15. The rap mogul's wife, Kim Kardashian, was in attendance, as well as Anna Wintour and Sofia Richie.
West, however, did not appear down the runway at the end of the show.
Taking to Twitter, Sia wrote, "Dear @kanyewest would you consider going fur free? This is the reality of fur for fashion—it's so sad." She added a YouTube video called 'Under the Fur Coats: Rabbits' Screams of Death' to the tweet.
Last June, Sia sent a similar message to Mrs. West, with the same plea and the same video. At least she gets an "A" for effort.

Resume review for OCI begins July 1. The deadline for OCI resume review is noon on July 29. However, it is in your best interest to have your resume reviewed well before the deadline to ensure that there is sufficient time to revise your resume and upload it onto the system. If you wait until the last minute to submit your resume for review, your assigned counselor will not be able to devote as much time to your resume.

Staff law clerks work in a highly collegial environment with recent law school graduates and lawyers coming from the nation's top law schools, as well as with more experienced supervisory attorneys. Staff law clerks learn a wide variety of substantive and practical lawyering and writing skills through discussions with the judges and other staff law clerks.
Staff law clerkships comine the intellectual rigor of a chambers clerkship with the benefits of working closely with all the judges of the Seventh Circuit, one of the most highly respected appeals courts in the country, on all phases of appellate litigation. Like traditional chambers clerks, the staff law clerks at the Seventh Circuit perfrom legal research, prepare bench memoranda and draft merits opinions on a broad spectrum of federal cases subject to oral argument at the Court.
In addition to receiving the type of work typical of chambers clerkships, staff law clerks work with all the judges of the entire Court rather than a single judge. They also assist the judges in resolving substantive motions that address complex questions of civil procedure or seek preliminary or emergency relief. Finally staff law clerks assist three-judge panels in weekly deliberative conferences on cases not subject to oral argument.

The National Association for Urban Debate Leagues (NAUDL), the national leadership organization of the urban debate movement, seeks to facilitate participation in organized debate activities for as many urban students as possible. Urban students of color and women with great creativity and potential for future careers in the law unfortunately face many challenges in learning the communication and academic skills they need to enter law school and start legal careers. To counter these challenges, many firms have turned to academic debate in urban schools as an effective mechanism to open a larger, more diverse pipeline of students who are interested in, and well-prepared for, law school and legal practice.
NAUDL is offering a pro bono public interest fellowship to 3Ls and recent law school graduates whose firms are deferring their start dates. Associates who are deferring their start dates can make a valuable contribution in the interim to the NAUDL and urban debate.
The Urban Debate Advocacy Fellow will provide legal advice and assistance to local Urban Debate Leagues (UDLs), run legal education seminars with UDL students, prepare submissions to federal and local governments on matters of public interest, and conduct other legal work, including drafting documents. The pro bono fellows will focus on legal research and writing, advocacy, non-profit governance issues, and policy development, and will be helping to bring debate to thousands of additional students nationwide. The length of the fellowship can vary with availability, ranging from several months to an entire year.
If interested in becoming an Urban Debate Advocacy Fellow, please contact Eric Tucker at the NAUDL at email@example.com or 312-427-0152.

This is a nationwide interview program that targets patent law employers, rising 2L and 3L students, and students in Intellectual Property LLM programs. Last year roughly 150 employers, 150 law schools, and 1,500 law students from across the country participated in the program.

Last year, approximately half of the participating students were selected for interviews. Students with undergraduate or graduate degrees in engineering or a technical science should consider registering for the program. You do not need to be patent bar eligible to register, although the vast majority of employers participating in the program are seeking patent bar eligible students. For more information on the program, please refer to the program website at http://www.luc.edu/law/career/Patent_Program_-_Stu.html.Pre-registered students should have recently received a password and instructions for submitting resumes and bids from the coordinators at Loyola.

As part of an effort to recruit talented students and increase diversity in the Delaware Bar, a number of law firms, corporations, and governmental legal employers will participate in the Delaware Minority Job Fair for Second & Third-Year Law Students, which is being held on Saturday, August 15, 2009 on the Wilmington campus of Widener University School of Law. This job fair is by invitation only and is limited to students who are in their second or third year of law school during the 2008-2009 school year and interested in employment opportunities in Delaware.The Delaware Minority Job Fair differs from many other job fairs in that students must be invited to attend rather than simply registering and attending. In return, the students invited receive considerable more individual attention than is possible in a very large job fair. When you submit an application for invitation, you are, in effect, submitting an application to all of the Delaware legal employers who participate in the program. To become eligible by an invitation you must complete the application form, which is available in the career services office as handout #50, and return it via mail, fax or email, along with your resume and college and law school transcripts (if available), no later than Tuesday, April 21, 2009.You will be eligible for an invitation if two or more of the Job Fair employers wish to meet with you. Invitations enclosing a proposed interview schedule will be sent by mid-June. Your response, accepting or declining the invitation, will be due by Tuesday, June 30, 2009.There are no application or registration fees. If you are invited you will need to arrange for your own transportation to Wilmington. The organizers of the job fair hope to be able to reimburse you for all or at least a portion of your transportation expenses. They have historically been able to reimburse 100% of such expenses. A breakfast will be provided to all invited students. A number of experienced attorneys and leaders from the Delaware Bench and Bar will join students for breakfast to answer any questions you might have about life and the practice of law in Delaware.

Hey, get ready for another A-Rod steroids story because, duh. The Yankees third baseman's name turned up—along with a slew of his constituents—in the records of a alleged Miami-based PED dealer. Alex Rodriguez, Gio Gonzalez, Melky Cabrera, Wayne Odesnik (tennis, read a book), and others have reportedly been linked to the anti-aging clinic, Biogenesis. And by "anti-aging clinic," the Miami New Times means, "front for HGH distribution."
They were given to New Times by an employee who worked at Biogenesis before it closed last month and its owner abruptly disappeared. The records are clear in describing the firm's real business: selling performance-enhancing drugs, from human growth hormone (HGH) to testosterone to anabolic steroids.
The clinic's chief, 49-year-old Anthony Bosch, had his name pop up in connection with steroids back in '09 when Manny Ramirez ('member him?) tested positive for banned substances. Also, he keeps incredibly detailed records that help to offer gems like a line noting A-Rod's name and a payment of $3,500 listed directly above, "1.5/1.5 HGH (sports perf.) creams test., glut., MIC, supplement, sports perf. Diet."
And Bosch's glowing praise of his own abilities.
"Dr. Tony Bosch is recognized as an international educator and world-class leader in bio-identical hormone replacement therapy," reads one description, which also praises him as a "pioneer in orthomolecular medicine" and calls him a "molecular biochemist."
If your afternoon is wide open, head on over and read all about Anthony Bosch's life from conception to what he ate for lunch while you were reading the first paragraph in their bajillion page report.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Male Employees Subjected to Physical Harassment From General Sales Manager; Management Refused to Address the Misconduct, Federal Agency Charges
PHOENIX – The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") today announced the filing of a sex harassment lawsuit against Larry Miller – Peoria, Inc. (which does business as Arrowhead Honda) on behalf of a class of men who were subjected to a hostile work environment by the General Sales Manager.
The EEOC charged in its lawsuit, (EEOC v. Larry Miller – Peoria, Inc. d/b/a Arrowhead Honda, CV 10-2080-PHX-FJM), filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, that Arrowhead Honda's General Sales Manager repeatedly sexually harassed a class of men. The harassment included repeated sexual assaults by the General Sales Manager, who would grab, rub, and/or touch men in the groin area. The General Sales Manager also constantly engaged in a variety of sexual gestures, according to the complaint. According to the EEOC, Arrowhead Honda failed to address the harassment even though management knew about the harassment.
" In 1998, the Supreme Court recognized that harassment is unlawful regardless of the gender of the victim or the harasser," said Mary Jo O'Neill, Regional Attorney for the EEOC's Phoenix District Office. "Because over the past decade sex harassment charges filed by men have increased, employers must be ever diligent in protecting all their employees from sexual harassment."
EEOC Acting Phoenix District Director Rayford O. Irvin said, "We will continue to devote substantial resources to prosecute violations of the law prohibiting sex harassment regardless of gender."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

(BPT) – As farmers begin harvest and approach the end of 2013 production, many are assessing the year and looking forward to 2014. For row-crop farmers, the 2013 harvest is expected to be a good one.
However, prices are lower than last year, and some are delaying their decision to go to market in hopes that the price will improve early next year. Low commodity prices may also persuade farmers to consider prepaying for at least some of next season's inputs before the end of the year. Additionally, meat and milk producers are currently looking to cover feed purchases and other input costs for livestock operations.
"A range of factors, including lower commodity prices and higher input costs, are currently impacting the way farmers are approaching 2014," says David Lynn, senior vice president of financial services for Farm Credit Mid-America, an agricultural lending cooperative serving farmers, agribusinesses and rural residents in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. "However, farmers have the opportunity to put measures in place to gain operational and financial stability and mitigate risk as they plan for the coming year."
Lynn recommends farmers create a checklist of considerations to help plan for 2014:
1. Set operation goals, identify and analyze options
The key to smart operational planning is to first define business goals. Farmers should ask themselves what they expect to achieve in 2014 and assess financial options based on those goals. Working with a trusted financial partner to research factors such as demand, production and labor requirements, operating/input costs and potential returns can help provide direction.
2. Consider the components of a plan
An operation's plan should include a statement of goals, market assessment and marketing strategy, production plan, labor and management plan and a careful financial plan, including profitability, cash flow projections, cash flow needed and debt levels. Part of an operational plan may include arranging for an operating loan to allow flexibility to finance seed, crop protection products, fertilizer, utilities, repairs, wages or other supplies.
3. Monitor progress and evaluation
In season, maintain good record keeping of day-to-day operations to help inform decisions. Compare progress to goals and modify operation plans as needed while analyzing farm progress.
Currently, Farm Credit is offering fixed rates as low as 2.99 percent on operating loans which gives farmers the flexibility to use an operating line of credit to prepay for 2014 expenses based on a farmer's individual tax situation.
"Farm Credit works with farmers and their businesses when it's most convenient for them and has tailored this loan offering to ensure our approach fits with operations and schedules," says Lynn. "With fluctuating commodity prices and unpredictable weather conditions, an operating line of credit is one of many tools farmers can use to protect themselves against market volatility."

Gun 'Buy Back' brings competition
SEATTLE (KING) -- Hundreds of people showed up Saturday morning for a gun buyback in Seattle.
One man even brought a rocket launcher. He said it had already been used and could not do any harm.
Mason Vranish said he bought it from a man for $100, but within seconds police took it off his hands.
Officers gave Vranish a gift card and said they will investigate and will let him know if he can have it back.
The event was supposed to go until 3 p.m., but the even drew such a big crowd, police wrapped up by noon.
Police said in the first two hours, more than 160 guns were turned in and $35,000 in gift cards were handed out.
But some people were not turning guns in, rather they were offering cash to people who brought guns to the buyback. Some even offered free doughnuts as they attempted to buy guns on the street.
The buyback program is part of the effort Seattle and King County leaders are making reduce gun violence. Seattle hadn't paid people for their guns since the 1990s.
No ballistics tests were to be conducted on the weapons, but the department planned to check to see if the guns were stolen and return those to the owners.
The program is funded by donations from Amazon of $30,000, the Seattle Police Foundation of $25,000, and local businesses including Pemco totaling more than $118,000.
Handguns, rifles and shotguns were worth a $100 gift card.
Guns classified as assault weapons were worth $200.

Car Review
2013 Nissan Murano: New Car Review
Pros: Well built; sharp handling and steering; responsive engine; compliant ride; upscale cabin; plenty of advanced electronics
Cons: Poor rear visibility; no fuel-efficient 4-cylinder option; pricey next to competitors
What's New: Available moving object detection, blind spot warning and lane departure warning; new Value option package for SV
The 2013 Nissan Murano is a crossover that stands out in a sea of crossovers. With its modern and stylish design, sporting personality and well-crafted interior, it is a breath of fresh air in a segment that now suffers from the saturation of so many lookalike models. The Murano looks and feels anything but homogenized.
Since it first arrived 10 years ago, the Murano has had an aggressive looking outer shell. Its snub-nosed front end and sleek profile give it an athletic appeal that speaks to its performance intentions. At the same time, its large wheels and notable ground clearance give it a crossover feel. The Murano's thick back end features an oversize hatch that hints at its more practical side.
For 2013, the Murano continues to be offered in eight versions--S, SV, SL and LE, each with either front- or all-wheel drive. Updates for the latest model include Nissan's Safety Shield suite of driver assistance technologies available on the Murano LE Platinum and on the Murano SL with navigation. A new Value option package is also available on the SV model. It groups a power liftgate, 9-speaker Bose sound and navigation for $2,270.
On the negative side, the Murano is expensive, and Nissan doesn't offer it with a more fuel-efficient 4-cylinder engine. These issues will make this CUV a tougher sell during a strained economic period when consumers are more careful with their spending.
But for those looking for a different kind of utility, this may be the one. It's fun to drive, well equipped, comfortable and capable, with a head-turning style that's all its own. The 2013 Murano is proof that all crossovers are not the same.
Comfort & Utility
The Murano has an upscale, modern, plush and tech-savvy 5-passenger cabin. The high-quality dash is home to a sophisticated looking instrument panel and features a well-designed and uncluttered control layout. This, like a few other Nissans, can easily be mistaken for a product in the carmaker's more luxurious Infiniti lineup.
The Murano's front seats are well padded and supportive. The seating position is nice and high, giving the driver good forward visibility. And there's plenty of head, hip and leg room, too.
The spacious rear seat is designed to provide maximum comfort for up to three passengers. The second row is especially generous on legroom. Even six-footers will remain relaxed on long trips.
Behind the rear seat or in the rear hatch, the Murano offers just under 32 cu-ft of cargo space. That's fairly adequate for ordinary use--groceries, sports equipment, camping gear, luggage. If more storage space is needed, the Murano's 60/40 spit folding rear seats drop forward to create an expanded load floor that is roughly double in size.
Even the base Murano S packs convenient standard features like push-button start, cruise control, dual-zone climate control and a 6-speaker audio system. The SV gets a dual-panel moonroof, power-adjustable front seats, Bluetooth and an upgraded stereo. The SL adds leather upholstery, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, a Bose 11-speaker sound system and a power liftgate for easy loading and unloading of cargo. Finally, the range-topping LE includes a power tilting and telescoping steering wheel and heated second-row seats.
The Murano offers a wide array of advanced electronics and tech-savvy features. The base Murano S has only a 7-inch monochrome display screen, while the SV adds a 7-inch color screen, a backup camera, Bluetooth connectivity and a USB interface. The SL adds a premium stereo with digital music storage, and the top-level LE benefits from bi-xenon headlights.
Notable technology options include a voice-command navigation system with real-time traffic, Bluetooth audio streaming, a dual-screen rear DVD system and the Safety Shield package.
Performance & Fuel Economy
The front- or all-wheel-drive 2013 Nissan Murano gets its power from a robust 3.5-liter V6 that makes 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. This engine has Continuous Valve Timing Control and Nissan Variable Induction Control and is mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Maximum towing capacity is 3,500 pounds.
The Murano's V6/CVT combination offers powerful and responsive performance, whether from a standstill or at speed. Acceleration is strong, and the Murano's overall power is smoothly and evenly delivered throughout the rev band, thanks to the CVT.
EPA-estimated fuel economy for the Nissan Murano is 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway with front-wheel drive and a slightly lower 18/23 mpg with all-wheel drive.
Standard safety features for the Murano include ABS, stability control, traction control, six airbags and active front head restraints. For the LE Platinum or SL with navigation, drivers can choose to add blind spot warning, moving object detection and lane departure warning features as part of the Safety Shield package.
The Murano earned four out of five stars in crash tests from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the highest ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Driving Impressions
The Nissan Murano is a crossover with noticeable athleticism. It's an agile handler that stays well planted in corners, thanks to a nicely balanced chassis. Also helping its cornering prowess is the Murano's wide stance and large, grippy tires. Turn-ins are quick and nimble thanks to a responsive and well-weighted steering system. For all of these reasons, the Murano delivers one of the sportiest driving experiences you can find in a midsize crossover.
At the same time, the Murano's ride is comfortable and composed. Regardless of its sporting personality, it delivers an on-road feel that is relaxed enough for the daily commute as well as for carting the family around town. Nissan seems to have it down in finding that just-right balance between ride and handling.
The Murano also has what it takes to tread in harsh road conditions or unpaved terrain. Large 18- or 20-inch wheels coupled with more than seven inches of ground clearance and optional all-wheel drive grant the Murano enough capability to drive confidently through snow, rain or mud.
Other Cars to Consider
Ford Edge - The Murano is more stylish and sporty, but the Edge has more technology and a more fuel efficient 4-cylinder engine option.
Kia Sorento - The Sorento is less expensive and it's offered with a 4-cylinder engine and a third-row seat. The Murano has neither of those choices available.
GMC Terrain - Like the Murano, the GMC Terrain is strictly a 5-passenger CUV. But it too offers a choice of 4- or 6-cylinder engines and is now available with GMC's feature-rich Denali trim.
AutoTrader Recommends
Our recommendation for the Murano is the second-from-the-top SL model. The Murano SL has all the convenience and technology features of the S and SV but adds key upgrades like a power liftgate, leather upholstery and a 9-speaker Bose stereo. To us, the range-topping LE is not worth the premium in price for enhancements like rear-seat heat and wood trim. We'd add the navigation system with real-time traffic and weather and, for those in colder climates, optional all-wheel drive. The Murano's AWD system is capable and has just a negligible effect on fuel economy.

Early Reviews from Traverse City: Not Good
At the start of the week I blogged about a number of questions about the Lightning's prospects that would begin to be answered at the Traverse City tournament. Unfortunately, half way through the tournament, the early reviews are not good:
1.) Will Andy Rogers step up and win an invitation to full Lightning camp?
Two games in Rogers is -3 with just 1 shot on goal. Enjoy Norfolk, Andy.
2.) Where is Riku Helenius at developmentally after losing a season to shoulder surgery?
6 goals on 31 shots in the tournament opener against the Rangers' prospects. It's hard to argue Helenius is on top of his game when he currently has the second worst save percentage in the entire tournament.
3.) Will Stanislav Lascek finally have the Traverse City tournament he's capable of?
On paper, Lascek should be the Lightning's best scorer in this tournament. Last year he missed most of Traverse City with a hamstring injury. This year he missed game one and was scoreless in Game Two, despite having 5 shots on goal. At this point, Lascek's career Traverse City statistical output is equal to that of former Lightning prospect John Toffey. Ugh.
4.) Where does Chris Lawrence really fall on the depth chart for Norfolk? Is he ahead of Lascek and Radek Smolenak, or behind them?
Behind. Smolenak has continued his yearly ritual of being one of the Lightning's best scorers in this tournament and Lascek's 5 shots and even rating in Game Two trump Lawrence's 2 shots and -2 rating so far in the tournament.
5.) Do any of these forward tryouts earn a contract from the Lightning or Admirals?
Klinkhammer and Yellow Horn have been the best of the Lightning's invitees statistically. Klinkhammer has 1 goal, 3 shots, and a +2 rating. Yellow Horn has 1 goal, 4 shots, but stubbed his toe with a -3 rating in the Red Wings game. I'm not sure either of these guys qualify as setting the world on fire.
6.) Is Mitch Fadden as good as I think he is?
Fadden hasn't been terrible in the tournament, but he hasn't put up a 1st or 2nd round caliber performance either. He centered the wildly successful Klinkhammer/Smolenak line against the Rangers but failed to manage a point in his own right. He only has 2 shots on goal in the tournament thus far, which is poor for someone with such highly regarded hands. He needs to get more pucks on net.
7.) How do things shake out depth chart wise with the second tier of defensemen.
Justin Fletcher and Mike Lundin look to be slightly ahead of the other Lightning second tier defensive prospects, but they should be considering their age and experience levels relative to Crowley and Ward.
Bruce MacLeod of the Macomb Daily rubs salt in the wound in his blog simply stating "Tampa Bay doesn't have much." Of course the Lightning don't have their best prospects at this tournament with Karri Ramo, Matt Smaby, and Blair Jones not attending despite being elligible, Dana Tyrell playing in the Super Series, and Luca Cunti and Alexander Killorn staying out of the tournament to maintain their NCAA elligibility. But, however valid an excuse, it's still an excuse, and the Lightning need to send a message to their prospects at tomorrow's practice session that losing isn't acceptable under any circumstances.

Jenny Craig Inc. Announces New Wellness Campaign: 'The Great Take-Off'
Jenny Craig Program Makes Client's Dreams Come True
January 28, 2009 // Franchising.com // Carlsbad, Calif. — In addition to showing off her recent success on the program, Jenny Craig Inc.'s newest spokeswoman, Phylicia Rashad, announced today the start of a consumer program called 'The Jenny Craig Great Take-Off'. The year-long program is designed to help men and women realize their goals and dreams achievable through weight loss and a healthier lifestyle.
The program goes beyond just 'dropping the pounds' to demonstrating how a new, healthy body can influence other aspects of one's life. Losing weight is not the end game, but the beginning of a journey that will empower people to achieve many other goals and dreams.
Current and new clients are encouraged to upload a video-essay to www.JennyCraig.com/GreatTakeOff describing their journey and how their weight gain has kept them from achieving a specific goal. Whether their goal is to comfortably fly cross country to see a lost loved one, get the courage to perform on stage with a major recording artist, or go one-on-one with a professional athlete, Jenny Craig encourages people to share their dream. A panel of judges will select six winners whose goals will be realized in a special way.
"Achieving your goal is about much more than just losing weight," said Rashad. "The idea behind the Great Take Off is to get people thinking about what they aspire to do once the weight comes off. People feel constricted when they aren't at their ideal size and this program will help people start thinking about what they can do with their new lifestyle."
Scott Parker, Vice President of Marketing for Jenny Craig, shares that the company also wants to reward clients who reach their goal. "We've heard from clients over the years how their life changed after they lost weight. This is our opportunity to reward those individuals with special experiences they never dreamed possible," said Parker.
Nominations will be accepted at www.JennyCraig.com/GreatTakeOff from January 22 through April 30, 2009.

Chart of the Day
Chart of the Day
For some perspective on the post-financial crisis rally, today's chart illustrates how much of the downturn that occurred as a result of the financial crisis has been retraced by several major international stock market indices. For example, the S&P 500 peaked at 1,565.15 back in October 9, 2007 and troughed at 676.53 back on March 9, 2009. The most recent close for the S&P 500 is 1,563.77 -- it has retraced 99.8% of its financial crisis bear market decline. As today's chart illustrates, China (Shanghai Composite), Japan (Nikkei 225), India (S&P BSE Sensex), Germany (DAX), France (CAC 40) and the UK (FTSE 100) are all above their financial crisis lows (i.e. above 0% on today's chart) while none of the aforementioned countries are currently trading above their respective pre-financial crisis peak (i.e. none are above 100% on today's chart). It is interesting to note that the US (epicenter of the financial crisis) has outperformed the other major stock market indices while China has lagged.
