I hope you didn't forget how to work it. Or put your thing down, flip it, and reverse it, for that matter.
Beloved hip-hop songstress Missy Elliott is slated to make a return to the pop landscape over labor day weekend with the release of two new singles, "9th Inning" and "Triple Threat." While Elliott has performed the tracks live in the past few months, their commercial release marks the first new music in over four years from the performer born Melissa Arentt Elliot.
If these tracks are anywhere close to the quality of past singles such as "Work It," "Lose Control," or "Get Ur Freak On," then we're looking at the comeback story of the year, ya'll.

Dear Mountains Plus Customers;
We started Mountains Plus in 1995 with the dream of offering the best outdoor gear available at affordable prices while providing amazing service to our customers. We have seen our industry, retail and the internet change many times over in the 20 years we have been in business and we have enjoyed every twist and turn that of this wild ride. During this time we've received Four Inc 5000 Awards as well as dozens of other local and industry related accolades for the work we have done while constantly pushing the envelope of innovation in an effort to provide better service to YOU, our customers.
Unfortunately, however, the financial pressures that our relatively small company has recently faced were too much for us and now, as we approach our 20th Anniversary, we must sadly bring it all to an end, close our doors and say goodbye. We will truly miss what we do and the opportunity to engage with and serve our customers every day.
Therefore we leave you in the capable hands of some of our more friendly competitors in the hopes that they can continue to serve you with your gear needs in the future. Companies like Campsaver.com, BikeTiresDirect.com, Backcountrygear.com, BaseGear.com and other smaller, service oriented retailers do a great job making sure they have the products you want and providing excellent, personalized service to help you with your purchase. Remember, as we have always said, "experience, not just the gear, that matters in the end."
Happy Trails

The QMJHL champion Sea Dogs entered the tournament as the favorites, with four players ranked in the top 20 for the upcoming NHL Entry Draft, including the tremendously talented Jonathan Huberdeau. However, the Majors will put up a good test and attempt to outmatch their opponent up with depth and physicality.
The atmosphere at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga will be off the charts as junior hockey fans everywhere gather for the top event of the year. Regardless of which team wins, the Memorial Cup has been thoroughly exciting, with several promising prospects eager to leave a lasting reputation with scouts. Not only is the NHL at an all time high for popularity, but the quality of the play in the CHL may have never been better.

I downloaded a CYANOGENMOD 11 NIGHTLY (which maybe runs on 4.4.4 kikkat as i saw) , when i went to my phone's recovery mode, i actually wiped my phone's data and wiped my cache and dalvik cache everything, the problem is that when i installed my CYANOGENMOD my phone is constantly giving status 7 error. I cannot even use the mount usb system from my CLOCKWORKMOD recovery because I get the ''cannot open ums lunfile'' bla bla error. Thus I soft bricked my phone i guess because i can only get my phone booted to the recovery mode only and the phone stucks in the HTC QUIELTY BRILLIANT logo and then boots back to recovery, it happened yesterday and i have searched everything but couldnt figure out what to do.
Please help what should i do to get my phone to normal?

Research firm iSuppli released its global
statistics for the processor market. According to iSuppli, Intel holds a
massive 79.7% of the world's processor revenues leaving AMD with 10.9% of the
global processor revenue.
When the revenue numbers are compared to Q1 2007, Intel's revenue share in
the processor market has dropped by 0.7%. At the same time AMD has been able to
grow its share of the processor market revenue by 2.2%. According to iSuppli,
AMD's gain is a sign that consumers are responding better to AMD products.
ISuppli estimates that about half of AMD's growth in revenue market share
came at the expense of Intel and that the remainder came at the expense of the
smaller processor makers. ISuppli also says that average selling prices from
both Intel and AMD didn't decrease in the first quarter of 2008 signaling that
price wars between Intel and AMD have stopped.
Between Intel and AMD the two firms hold 92.7% of the total microprocessor
market worldwide estimated to be worth about $286.5 billion in 2008. Despite
the weakened U.S. economy, computer sales are still going strong.
ISuppli reported recently that PC
shipments in Q1 2008 increased by 12.1% globally.

One of the most vivid images from a recent two-week vacation in Italy and England came from Venice, the archipelago-city where the primary mode of transportation besides walking is a boat.
It was there that I watched as an older man navigated his large barge-like, produce-laden flat boat through the Grand Canal, the primary waterway that wanders through and bisects the city. One hand firmly on the rudder, his eyes watched both the boat traffic in front of him and his Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPad affixed firmly on his right side. All the while talking happily on his iPhone.
A mix of the old and the new was never more evident. Even more interesting, however, was the general sense that while Apple products are clearly in evidence, the company has a pretty big image problem in Europe. Plus, the competition, primarily from Samsung and its Galaxy phones, is substantial. U.K.-based Vodafone (NASDAQ:VOD) stores are everywhere, but except for a small store in London, Apple shops are nowhere to be found.
Sure, Apple sells the iPhones, but they're not nearly as ubiquitous as they are in the States. Moreover, European users view Samsung handsets as having better technology, particularly the screens. And at least a few of the tourists we met from America reported some trouble with their phone and Internet connections.
Of course, you also can't help but get the feeling that it could be just a European backlash to Corporate America. Whatever the reason, it's worth looking at Apple's results in Europe when the company releases earnings on Thursday.
Here's another observation perhaps worth a look during earnings season: Car sales in Europe, particularly for Ford (NYSE:F) and General Motors (NYSE:GM). A quick scan at Europeans' cars of choice suggests Detroit's problems in the region aren't exaggerated
It's hard to find a Ford on any side street or motorway, and as for GM, it's pretty much forget about it. France's Peugeot (PINK:PEUGY) may be an endangered badge, but people still drive its cars like crazy, and Volkswagen (PINK:VLKAY) remains the car of choice for the masses.
Of course, what grabs the headlines is the eurozone crises, but you'd be hard pressed to find any day-to-day evidence of a crises save for the protest footage from Greece and Spain, and a march of Italian students concerned about cuts at the local high school.
But the problems are real, and perhaps the most insightful analysis came from a gentleman who described Italy's biggest issue as a population that has too many retired people under 50 receiving government-guaranteed pensions and healthcare, while working second-career jobs that are mostly off the books.
The result? A never-ending cycle of lower revenues and higher costs to the state. And jobs that might be filled by younger people are instead filled through what he called the "black" economy.
As for the political climate, most people are clearly unhappy with their leadership. More interesting, however, was just how much Europeans follow American politics, particularly the upcoming election. A very unscientific poll concludes that most locals are looking for an Obama victory, while most American tourists who want to talk about the election are voting for Romney.
We'll all soon learn how that turns out, and further down the road, how the European crises plays out. Meantime, there's no place like home.

Relational art
(movement, 2002-present)
Relational Art is an emerging movement in art identified by Nicolas Bourriaud, a French philosopher, who recognized a growing number of contemporary artists used performative and interactive techniques that rely on the responses of others: pedestrians, shoppers, browsersthe casual observer-turned-participant. As an art critic, Bourriaud has reviewed many internationally renowned exhibitions and performances. Over the course of writing editorials for the French magazine Documents sur lArt, Bourriaud came to term what he was seeingmore accurately, experiencingas a movement in Relational Art.

That's right. We carry phones with us all the time. I mean all the time. Some of us even use them as wallets. Soon we'll be using them to start our cars and unlock front doors. So we always have that camera with us.
Which is why I said we should accept what we can get until we find a way of incorporating SLR into a cell phone. It seems impossible today, yeah? HA! Nothing is impossible. Someday there will be an Ars article about a 1mm sq SLR sensor outperforming the best large SLR sensors. Then there will be another article about some new mineral outperforming glass in optics applications. Then a year later Apple, Canon, Nikon Nokia etc. will be using that tech in their products.
This isn't about including a SLR. This is about getting the most performance out of a fixed size of CCD. There's nothing that's been said that suggests a mechanism by which cutting up a CCD and adding back together again gets more performance out of a fixed size of CCD. You *can* put a bigger CCD into a phone, Nokia have shown that. But they have gone about it in a most idiotic way that increases cost and potentially wastes a lot of what they've added.
If this is their strategy, they'll fail the second someone cottons on to this market existing, sells a large-CCD cameraphone without the 41MP gimmick, and so produces a cameraphone that takes better photos and is $200 cheaper. The 808 Pureview, as a camera, is a DSLR price range camera that doesn't take anywhere near DSLR quality photos.
No the article isn't about including a DSLR. It's the same old same old P&S small lens small sensor, but this time with a lot of MPs. I'm talking about including a DSLR camera in cell phones. Or equivalent technology that doesn't exist yet. It will happen someday. Don't hold off on the purchases though, because it may be 10 years.

American Samoa Gov't v. Snow,
AMERICAN SAMOA GOVERNMENT, Plaintiff
STANLEY SNOW, Defendant
High Court of American Samoa
Trial Division
CR No. 3-94
May 23, 1994
[1] T.C.R.Cr.P. Rule 33 provides that the court, on a defendant's motion, may grant a new trial if required in the interest of justice. When the court considers such a motion, the burden is on a convicted defendant to show that some error was committed and that that error was prejudicial to him.
[2] In the absence of any contrary evidence, the court will not assume a tainted jury.
[3] It is the trial court's province to determine whether or not news media materials have the possibility of prejudicing the jury. A special jury voir dire is not essential to that determination, and a defendant has no right to be granted this procedure.
[4] Having neglected to request a sequestered jury, defendant cannot now complain of the jury's minimal exposure to daily life
[5] In the context of a motion for a new trial, the court may weigh the evidence presented at trial and assess the credibility of witnesses. However, the court is not free to set aside the jury's verdict even if the court concludes that another result is more reasonable. The evidence must preponderate against the verdict so severely that a miscarriage of justice has occurred.
[6] The court will not second-guess decisions properly in the jury's province, particularly decisions with firm foundations.
Before RICHMOND, Associate Justice, TAUANU`U, Chief Associate Judge, and LOGOAI, Associate Judge.
Counsel: For Plaintiff, Henry W. Kappel, Assistant Attorney General
For Defendant, Asaua Fuimaono
Order Denying Motion for New Trial:
On April 15, 1994, defendant Stanley Snow ("Snow") was found guilty, by a jury, of one count of stealing services with a value of $100.00 or [26ASR2d79] more and one count of stealing services with a value of $100.00 or less.
On May 11, 1994, Snow was sentenced by the court. The court suspended Snow's concurrent prison sentences of four years on count one and one year on count two, and placed Snow on concurrent probation terms of five years on count one and one year on count two. As conditions of probation, Snow was ordered to serve four months detention at the Tafuna Correctional Facility, out of a detention period of sixteen months, to begin on June 15, 1994.(1) Execution of the remaining 12 months of detention and 600 hours of community service was suspended. Snow was also ordered to pay a fine of $1,500 no later than 60 days after release from the four-month detention period and to make restitution of $1,737.60, in equal monthly payments, which if not paid in full by the end of the initial detention period, is to be paid over the remaining months of the probation term.(2)
On April 25, 1994, Snow filed a motion for new trial and a motion to treat as an indigent on appeal.(3) These motions came regularly for hearing on May 16, 1994. Two aspects of these motions--Snow's assertion of prejudicial error in the motion for a new trial because the court had neglected to rule on his motion for a judgment of acquittal, and his motion [26ASR2d80] to be treated as an indigent--were disposed of at the hearing.(4) [1] The remaining aspects of Snow's motion for a new trial essentially make two challenges. The first is that Snow was denied a fair trial because of the jury's exposure to media coverage. The second is that the finding of the jury is not supported by the weight of the evidence. T.C.R.Cr.P. Rule 33 provides that the court, on a defendant's motion, may grant a new trial "if required in the interest of justice." When the court considers such a motion, the burden is on a convicted defendant to show that some error was committed and that that error was prejudicial to him. United States v. Simms, 508 F. Supp. 1188, 1203 (W.D. La. 1980). For the reasons detailed below, we deny Snow's motion with respect to both grounds.
In support of the first challenge, Snow argues that the jury, unsequestered throughout the trial until its deliberations, was exposed to prejudicial news coverage that unfairly prejudiced the jury against him. Snow also asserts that the court erred in not allowing him to voir dire the jury about their exposure to the news coverage, and in not warning the news media to balance their coverage of the trial.
[2] These objections must fail for several reasons. To begin with, Snow has not submitted any evidence whatsoever that the coverage was in fact prejudicial,(5) or that any of the jury members were actually prejudiced. Although counsel evinced an intention to poll members of the jury on this question after the verdict, this has not been done. In the absence of any contrary evidence, we will not assume a tainted jury. See Mayola v. State of Ala., 623 F.2d 992 (5th Cir. 1980), cert den'd 451 U.S. 913, 68 L. Ed.2d 303, 101 S. Ct. 1986 (1981).
[3] Nor has Snow mounted a sufficient challenge to the court's trial [26ASR2d81] rulings on this matter. The court's denials of Snow's motion to specially voir dire the jury in the midst of trial, and subsequent motion for a mistrial, must stand. United States v. Abascal, 564 F.2d 821 (8th Cir. 1977), cert den'd 435 U.S. 953 (1978); United States v. Jones, 542 F.2d 186 (4th Cir. 1976), cert den'd 426 U.S. 922 (1976). It is the trial court's province to determine whether or not news media materials have the possibility of prejudicing the jury. A special jury voir dire is not essential to that determination, and a defendant has no right to be granted this procedure. See United States v. Weisman, 736 F.2d 421 (7th Cir. 1984), cert den'd 469 U.S. 983, 83 L. Ed.2d 324, 105 S. Ct. 390 (1984); United States v. Alessio, 528 F.2d 1079 (9th Cir. 1976), cert den'd 426 U.S. 948, 49 L. Ed.2d 1184, 96 S. Ct. 3167 (1976), reh'g den'd 429 U.S. 873, 50 L. Ed.2d 156, 97 S. Ct. 193 (1976).
[4] Snow's demand that the court oversee press coverage regarding this trial is not only impractical but also seeks a constitutionally unsound restraint on the freedom of the press. Nebraska Press Asso. v. Stuart, 427 U.S. 539, 49 L. Ed.2d 683, 96 S. Ct. 2791 (1976). Additionally, Snow, having neglected to request a sequestered jury, cannot now complain of the jury's minimal exposure to daily life. See Martin v. Warden, Huntingdon State Corr. Inst., 653 F.2d 799 (3rd Cir. 1981), cert den'd 454 U.S. 1151, 71 L. Ed.2d 306, 102 S. Ct. 1019 (1982).
[5] We also disagree with Snow's assertion that the evidence fails to support the jury's findings. In the context of a motion for a new trial, the court may weigh the evidence presented at trial and assess the credibility of witnesses. However, the court is not free to set aside the jury's verdict even if the court concludes that another result is more reasonable. The evidence must preponderate against the verdict so severely that a miscarriage of justice has occurred. United States v. Simms, 508 F. Supp. 1188, 1202-03 (W.D. La. 1980); United States v. Martinez, 763 F.2d 1297, 1312-13 (11th Cir. 1985).
[6] In this case, the jury had ample evidence to find against Snow, and this was the course the jury chose to take. Although not necessary to this ruling, we also note that the jury, in count two, had the opportunity to hold Snow guilty of a more serious crime and declined to do so. We are not in the habit of second-guessing decisions properly in the jury's province, particularly decisions with such firm foundations as the one before us.
For the reasons given, neither of Snow's challenges to the jury's verdict establish any prejudice to him that requires a new trial in the interest of justice. Therefore, the motion for a new trial is denied. [26ASR2d82]
It is so ordered.
1. The postponement was to allow Snow to procure alternative care during the four-month detention period for his one-year old son, who was recently hospitalized at the LBJ Tropical Medical Center with a diagnosis of pneumonia with plural effusion and, upon further testing, juvenile diabetes. Snow is receiving training to administer, and is actually administering, twice-daily insulin injections and other necessary health care for his son. Snow's wife is not yet able to cope with her son's condition and administer these injections.
2. Snow was also restricted to American Samoa unless he obtained prior permission from the court to travel outside the territory, with the Attorney General retaining his travel documents. He is to be a law-abiding citizen. He is to report monthly to his probation officer and make outstanding restitution payments, and fine payments within the 60 days allowed, after release from the four-month detention period. This reporting requirement is extended to once every three months after both the fine and restitution are fully paid. The probation officer may require more frequent visits at any time. Upon violation of any of the conditions of probation, Snow is subject to further detention and/or community service as an alternative to probation revocation until the full months of detention and hours of community service as ordered are exhausted.
3. A.S.C.A. § 46.2402(b) states that a motion for a new trial shall be filed within 10 days after the judgment or sentence. Although Snow's motion was filed before the sentencing actually took place, but after the verdict, we treat the motion as if it had complied correctly with all procedural requirements.
4. The motion for a judgment of acquittal was made at the close of all the evidence, and the court, in accordance with T.C.R.Cr.P. Rule 29(b), reserved the decision on this motion. The court denied this motion on May 11, 1994, before pronouncing the judgment and sentence.
The indigency question is governed by A.C.R. Rule 24, which comes into play when an appeal is taken. Rule 24 also requires a supporting affidavit in the detail prescribed by Form 4 of the Appendix of Forms to the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. No such affidavit has been filed. Since this motion was filed prematurely and without the necessary substantive support, it was withdrawn.
5. Snow submitted two articles from the Samoa News that describe events during the first two days of the four-day trial. He did not include any later articles. He also submitted an affidavit that gave an extremely sketchy account of a call-in radio show regarding the trial. We cannot by any stretch call this, as Snow does, "extensive coverage." Nor can we at all term the articles as either wholly one-sided or prejudicial.

New Ford Escape Hybrid Owners - Give Us Your Report
ursacat Posts: 32Quick update:
I was also surprised to find that my 09 FEH (w/o Nav) did not include a simple homelink garage door feature and the little compartment up by the sunroof now is for sunglasses so you have to velcro your garage door opener somewhere. Wierd.
I love the MS Sync system - works great with the ipod - who would have thought that MS and Apple worked it out.
I hear from the service guys at Ford that that when the "plugable" model comes out they might issue a retrofit kit for our models. That would be cool. He also mentioned some chip that one could buy (and void the warranty) that extends the electric mode.
more later.
jimmbob Posts: 1My wife and I picked up our '09 FEH two weeks ago. We previously owned a 2002 Toyota Hylander Ltd. The price of a new hybrid Hylander was out of reach. So far we are quite pleased with the purchase, but as the salesperson suggested, it is a different driving experience. In the first few days we we're confused as to when the car would switch in and out of electric mode, but now we're getting the hang of it. As my old high school physics teacher would say..."Don't underestimate inertia". We've learned that under the right conditions we can tool along at 60 KPH without the gas engine kicking in if we engage cruise control. Excellent. The fit and finish are good to excellent although the seat leather in the Toyota was superior to this very "leatherette-like" Ford leather.We love the navigation system and SYNC; our cell phones paired up without a hitch. We opted for the chrome package and it's a head-turner.
My only negative is that I dearly miss those two extra cylinders on the occasional unavoidable highway drives. The transmission really labors between 100 - 120 kph.
Too early for mileage reports.....we'll report when we have some reliable figures.
I bought my first Ford (Mercury Lynx Wagon) in '82. It averaged better than 35 MPG and went 185,000 miles before we sold it in "89 to purchase our second Ford (Taurus L Wagon). It was driven 160,000 miles until '96 when we purchased our third Ford ('96 Taurus LX Wagon). Now with 191,000 miles on it we have made a purchase of a used 2007 FEH with 12,000 miles on it.
We wanted the newest tech and gobs of gas mileage and I believe we have both it this vehicle. When driven carefully and using the electric motor in town the mileage can be astounding. Using side streets rather than the main throuoghfares here in Ogden, Utah I can achieve 50+ mpg on trips to the market, school and to the freeway. A trip in the freeway over to Clearfield and back home still left me with 38.3 mpg.
There were two on the lot last week when I bought this and I'm seriously thinking about buying the other one. It has plenty of power, economy is stellar, usefullness is tops (I have a small tent trailer that weighs about 500 lbs loaded), and even my lead footed wife is hard pressed to get less than 35 mpg on her commute to West Valley City each day.
It was used, so if anyone has a source for an owners manual ofr less than the dealer's $35 let me know.
boopstar Posts: 1We've not had any serious issues with the vehicle, but now the "Wrench" light is coming on, mostly under 'stop & go' condtions and when it's warm outside or when my wife's running the heater.
One other time it was acting like this, the battery vent door actuator was the problem, and was replaced.
Has anyone else encountered this problem, if so, any other recommended fixes beside replacing the actuator?
"It was used, so if anyone has a source for an owners manual ofr less than the dealer's $35 let me know. "
You should register on the Ford owners site. I have a soft copy, but it is for the 2008.

If you have a Scanguage, they can be programmed to check for the door actuator. But if the light is going out after stopping the car, that is probably the issue. I'm at 20K on my 2008, and have had it replaced twice.
I had the same problem starting at around 40,000 miles on my 2007 Mariner Hybrid. It went away on it's own after a few days and hasn't re-occured. I can hear the vent door open and close now that the weather is warming up. We'll see what happens. Oh yeah, when I started on this site I owne a 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid. A red light runner wrecked that one, but I was able to pick up another; and nicer still, Mariner HEV.
dgcarlson1 Posts: 8I bought a 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid in mid summer of 2007. The automobile has been great until now, March 2010. I have put 80,000 miles on it since I bought it 2.5 yrs ago. In the past two weeks the engine cuts off at high speed (60-70mph). A warning light comes on (looks like a red yield sign with an exclamation point) and dash display states "Stop slowly". There were no other warning signs or lights to indicate anything was wrong with the vehicle. I followed the instructions in the manual (turn the vehicle off for a minute and try restarting). I did this and made my way home - it cut off on me two more times that evening. The next day I checked all the fuses to make sure it was not a bad fuse.
The car functioned as normal until four days later when the same thing happened. I am taking it to the dealer I bought it from tomorrow. I am wondering if some of the wire coverings that have worn in the past 2.5 years (exposing more of the wire) may have triggered a sensor that shuts the engine off.
If anyone has had a similar experience I would like to hear about it.
Other than this the vehicle has been a pleasure to drive.
I have a 2008, 88,000. Driving back in bumper-to-bumper traffic from Las Vegas to LA. Out in the middle of the desert and all of a sudden I feel like I have lost control...I was going about 30 MPH, looked down and see the "!". I pulled over, looked at the manual...waited about 5 minutes, re-started the car and it was fine. I did freak out thinking I was going to be stuck in the middle of the desert but made it back home.
I just did a 6 hour trip this weekend, a bit of traffic also...no problems since the initial incident.I though it may be related to the fact tha I had driven about 10 miles in traffic in mostly hybrid drive...but you were going faster...so I don't know!!
dgcarlson1...do you know what this is?
joad Posts: 4It's most likely the pump that circulates coolant to the high voltage inverter/electronics board in the engine compartment. This is a known issue and the new pump has been redesigned. You may not see the problem again for months, but it will happen again and usually at the most inoppurtune time. Also, check the coolant level in the the smaller tank...the one closest to the windshield in the engine compartment. It should be up to the marked line on the tank.
Thanks for the info. It actually just happened again with local driving this last week. So, it is a coolant issue, is it a defect that will be replaced by Ford or now that my car is our of warranty...I am SOL? I will make sure my coolant level is checked and kept full...thanks so much.
misaak Posts: 3My husband and I considering buying a car next month and came down to two choices in the SUV category. Ford Escape Hybird or a 2010 Toyota 4Runner.
We like the idea of a ford escape that has better gas mileage, smaller and easy to drive.
The 4Runner has more horsepower, larger, better to tow with and excellent in the snow.
Which is a better car to buy
You might want to check out some issues about the FEH's High Voltage Battery on this forum. I own a 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid AWD and regret that I bought it. I'm concerned about the battery. If the battery dies I need to pay $8,000.00 to replace it. :mad: If I knew this, I wouldn't buy my FEH AWD.
bdyment Posts: 571The battery has a complete 8 year warranty.
I purchased a 2007 Mercury Mariner Hybrid in November of 2008. Purchased used, it had 14,000 miles on it and it now has 50,000 miles. This car is GREAT! I did my research on the battery system before purchasing it and I would direct you to the articles on the Ford Escape Hybrid taxis used in San Francisco (Key words San Francisco Hybrid Taxis) look for the LA times article.
Here's a quote: "The Ford Escape is the first American hybrid. When it was unveiled five years ago, customers feared that the batteries wouldn't last and would be expensive to replace, said Gil Portalatin, hybrid systems application manager at Ford Motor Co.
San Francisco's experience, he said, showed that "these things are tougher than nails. . . . We warranty the batteries for 150,000 miles and here you have cabs going out of service at 300,000 -- because that's the law, not because the cab's used up."
The retiring hybrid cabs also have shown that, even on San Francisco's notorious hills, the regenerative brake system's brake pads last far longer than nonhybrid brakes.
With a regenerative braking system, brake pads are not used to slow the car in stop-and-go traffic. Instead, when the brake pedal is depressed, it sends a signal to the electric motor, which slows the vehicle and also charges the car's high-voltage battery. The brake pads are used only at the very end of the stopping cycle.
Yellow Cab is awaiting the arrival of 10 new Ford Fusion sedans, which promise even better gas mileage than the Escapes. The company has had the Nissans only a couple of months, so it's still evaluating their performance."
I typically get 34-38 mpg in town and 32-34 on the highway. My personal best on a single tank of gas was 42.3 mpg of in town and highway combined. On a trip from Flagstaff, Az to Ogden, Ut via Highway 89 I averaged 52 mpg from Flag to the turnoff to Tuba City. By the time I got to Page, Az I was still at 45 mpg as I started the climb into Utah. I pulled into the Fast Gas in Nephi showing an average 39 mpg. From there to my driveway in Ogden I still managed a reasonable 36 mpg.
Don't expect to tow with any hybrid with a constant velocity transmission. For our 12 foot/1,700 pound pop-up camper trailer we use a 2002 Volvo V70XC Cross Country. It is the perfect vehicle for small trailer towing. All wheel drive, powerful, comfortable, 20 mpg with the trailer and 30 without and of course, Volvo's stellar reputation for reliability and durability. I'd look at the original cross-over vehicle before plunking my money down on a 17mpg (Usually less) SUV. I know, I had a wonderful Chevy Tahoe for towing but the first $120 fill-up in 2005 scared me to the point where I dumped it just in time for the real run-up in gas prices. We're going to see that again.
My FEH AWD has 72,000 miles on it which means only 28,000 miles left until the hybrid component warranty dries up. Even if my FEH AWD has lower miles, I don't think my 2008 FEH AWD holds up the value of $8,000 in 2016. If the High Voltage Battery dies after the warranty expired, I don't think I'm going to fix it.
The point I want to make here is new High Voltage Battery is way too expensive. New Prius batteries price was about $2,300 in 2009 (Car and Driver, May 09, Vol. 54, No.11).
sksuh Posts: 13My 2008 FEH AWD has worked flawlessly in all seasons including Canadian winters up here on the Alberta side of the Rocky Mountains.
No battery worries, winter woes or any other issues whatsoever. Absolutely no regrets with this vehicle.
Maybe yes, maybe no. I have close to 80K on mine so I will be in the same position in about a year.
This is what I learned from the Ford FEH road show back in 2004. The difference with the FEH and the Prius is that the Prius uses one great big batter pack that has to be replaced all at once. The FEH uses a rack of batteries that look very much like D-Cell's. In theory if a cell fails, they can open the rack and replace the cell, not the whole battery pack.
Now the practical side of things, if one cell fails after 100K, do you replace just that one cell (paying for the labor and the cell) or do you replace the other cells because if one cell has failed the others will probably soon fail also.
That's the issue and I don't have an answer to that one yet (and hope not to for a long time).
One note, if you look at the FEH manual the maintenance schedule goes all the way through 150K but never recommends replacing the main battery pack cells. Take it for what it's worth, but if I get 150K out of it I will probably be happy (my previous Ford Van got around 190K but it was pretty sad by then).
"The battery has a complete 8 year warranty. "
10 years in CARB states.

If you want to tow, there is no question - get the Toyota. The FEH is not really designed to tow anything of substance. Otherwise it is a question of which you like to drive, and which fits your family better.
The AWD version of the FEH should do fine in the snow. I have had mine in snow and ice in Yosemite.
"You might want to check out some issues about the FEH's High Voltage Battery on this forum. I own a 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid AWD and regret that I bought it. I'm concerned about the battery. If the battery dies I need to pay $8,000.00 to replace it. If I knew this, I wouldn't buy my FEH AWD. "
You might want to wait until it actually dies before you regret your purchase. Those taxis in NYC are going pretty strong.

You might be able to find someone to do that, but I'm sure Ford recommends that one replace the entire pack.
tortorige Posts: 1FWIW, I spoke to a service man that took in one of the first escape hybrids to sell in the bay area. It was a 2005 or 2006 with over 300,000 miles of San Francisco inner city taxi cab service miles on it. The battery checked in at 90% life. Not bad at all. So don't worry.
We just got a 2008 and I noticed that in town, if driven in low range the whole time, the transmission acts exactly as it does in drive except that it increases regenerative braking dramatically, charging the batteries faster, and allowing more electric mode. Has anyone else found this? I was able to get nearly 41mph in town doing it. Any reason why this is bad? Like I said, it doesnt sound like the transmission is adversely effected. It's not like it's locking a torque converter in first like a normal transmission does.
Yes that's what I do and have for years. Somewhere way back in all the posts I responded with this suggestion to an FEH that was not getting great milage. He tried it and it worked. (great job getting 41MPG, my 2006 stays around31-32).
As for the wear and tear, I'm not that worried. Certainly the brakes will be saved (I'm at about 89K now and no new brakes are needed yet and probably not anytime soon).
So to date I have spent money on recommended oil changes (every 10,000 miles), change filters as required, replaced all 4 tires once and wiper blades and that is about it. With all that I have saved in Gas and maintenance if the Batteries fail or need replacement or some other component I believe I'll be ahead of he game no matter how I add it up.
When doing city driving in low, what is the fasted you can go (or suggest you should go) before it jumps to gas mode?
creta Posts: 2Hello,
I own a 2006 FEH.
Unfortunately the power steering assist mechanism (electric -not hydraulic) needs to be replaced/repaired.
I am looking for a top flight mechanic who is familiar with this issue, the dealer has recommended that I buy a new vehicle..... they indicate the repair is too complex, risky and expensive.
I would greatly appreciate any assitance
Thank you,
"I am looking for a top flight mechanic who is familiar with this issue, the dealer has recommended that I buy a new vehicle..... they indicate the repair is too complex, risky and expensive. "
Find another Ford dealer, one who is qualified to work on the Gen 1 FEH. That dealer is just trying to get you to buy a new car, so he profits from it.
This discussion has been closed.

SNOW HILL — A couple of seemingly innocuous liquor license applications that appeared to be cruising toward approval by the Board of License Commissioners (BLC) were derailed at the last moment when seemingly innocent clerical errors on the formal documents revealed the applicants were not entirely forthcoming about their prior underage sales violations on their watch.
The BLC approved several liquor license applications for new and existing businesses on Wednesday, but two requests were sent back to the drawing board for clerical errors on the official documents. For example, de Lazy Lizard sought and was approved for a liquor license for a new brew pub of the same name at the site of the old Melvin's Steakhouse on the corner of 1st Street and Philadelphia Ave. not far from the original location.
However, when a second application for yet a third de Lazy Lizard on the Boardwalk was presented, it was revealed the owners and management had mistakenly said they did not have any prior underage drinking violations on the record. The original de Lazy Lizard has had two underage sales violations dating back about two years and has since implemented stringent ID checking procedures resulting in no new violations, but on the application for the new Boardwalk location, the owners had mistakenly checked the "no" box on the underage sale violation question.
As a result, the application process was halted and the restaurant owners will have to file an amended application for a later hearing. Unfortunately, the BLC hearings are held just once a month and the deadline for getting on the June agenda has already passed.
"Basically, we have a false statement," said BLC attorney Tom Coates. "I think the board should close this application process and they can reapply in the future. I believe in this case it was a clerical error, but in the past, the Board has closed the application hearing."
A short time later, a similar situation unfolded with the application for a liquor license transfer for the Pit-and-Pub on 28th Street. The managing partners were hoping to transfer the pub's liquor license into their names when a similar error in the application was uncovered.
When one of the prospective license holders, Steve Hoffman, was telling the board about his vast restaurant management experience in the resort area, he mentioned that he had been listed as the resident agent of, ironically, the original de Lazy Lizard, when the establishment had incurred the underage sales violations. Unfortunately, the Pit and Pub partners had checked the "no" box on the application about prior violations. Again, the Pit and Pub partners will have to return with an amended application.
"We know you guys and we're sure you'll do a great job, but what you need to understand is that the most important instrument we get is this application," said BLC Chairman William Esham, Jr. "We have to depend on the truth and honest answers because two-thirds of the people that come before us, we don't know."
In other BLC news from Wednesday, the board approved a liquor license transfer for the Shrimp Boat on Route 611 in West Ocean City and also approved a liquor license for the new Sandy Bottoms on the south end of the Boardwalk at a location most recently known as Davey Jones' Locker. The site for years housed a Burger King on the Boardwalk.
The BLC also approved a new liquor license for the Duck Dive, a new establishment near the Boardwalk at 4th Street, and a transfer of an existing liquor license for Rita's World of Wine, Beer and Spirits, which is moving to a new location in the same Pennington Commons shopping center near Ocean Pines where it currently exists. In addition, the BLC approved a new liquor license for the Longboard Café, a new establishment on 67th Street.
The BLC also reviewed a handful of underage sales violations dating back to March 16, or St. Patrick's Day weekend and the same date as the Ocean City St. Patrick's Day Parade. In one instance, Shenanigans Irish Pub on the Boardwalk was issued a citation when an undercover female OCPD officer, who was underage, was allowed in the establishment on its busiest weekend of the year. Owner Greg Shockley pointed out the restaurant is not yet officially opened for the season on St. Patrick's Day weekend and relies on temporary help and family and friends to supplement its staff needs.
Shockley explained the restaurant's policy on the holiday weekend is to have doormen card individuals at every entrance and issue Shenanigan's specific wristbands, but the system broke down in an least one instance and the undercover officer was allowed in.
The same undercover OCPD officer managed to get into the new Ky West bar near 56th Street on March 16. In that case, the manager had a doorman carding individuals and issuing wristbands during the day when the parade was going on, but had dismissed the doorman later in the day when the undercover officer entered the establishment. Yet another establishment, Peaky's rooftop bar on 139th Street was also nabbed by the same undercover OCPD officer on the hectic St. Patrick's Day weekend. In each case, the violations resulted in a letter of reprimand in the establishment's files, but no fines or other sanctions.

** it mind boggles me how some of you guys are complaining we gave up young talent? seriously? Douglas has been on a downward slide since his 9 3pointer game. and he isnt a pure pg to spell or help lin. Jordan>? seriously the dude was horrible around the basket and seemed to have 2 left feet in the little minutes he did play. Harrelson was the only hard piece to give up but even he's not going to amount to much, loved his engery and hustle but he doesnt give us anything Camby cant. You guys are looking at age as a problem? we dont need em to start just spell Chandler and come in whenever stats in foul trouble or whatever 20 mins a game is all we need and last year he averaged almost 10, boards in 25 mins. thats GREAT. we now have interior precenses who demand respect, one is the defensive player of the year, and the other is a former DPoY. wake up people this gave us experience, grit, defense, rebounding, solid rotation guy who believe it or not starts on a majority of teams in the league. Spectacular move by Grunnie to bring in more depth. were the deepest team in the league who can roll 10 deep on every given day and for that alone were on par with MIA.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
haha, I remember that play^^, In truth, I couldn't do anything but smile. I like both players and both players did what you were suppose to do in that situation. Camby land really isn't a sweet place to be.
That play on Fields was exactly why we went after Camby. The guy still blocked that shot (his hand is on the ball before body contact, so i don't think it should have been a flagrant)
Camby is one of the best Defensive centers in the league (ever and still). He plays hard, runs the floor, stays in shape, and takes pride in his defense (just like Tyson he protects the rim) He will swat shots away even after the whistle. He just does not let any easy lay-ups or shots go up on him.
He will be a great asset to teach STAT how to play as an undersized defensive big. He will solidify TC's defensive style and show him how to be a better rebounder. He will take the rest minutes that STAT and TC both require and is a huge upgrade at both ends of the floor over last year's bench bigs (Jerome and Jorts). If we sign someone like the Giraffe or K-Mart we have the best front court in the league by far, when including the bench players.
It's an area we will dominate Miami in. Outside of going after Dwight I don't see how we get any better upfront (and in fact I think TC's defense shuts down Dwight on a regular basis, so i'd actually rather have TC)
I can not believe that Knicks fan's of all people are bitching about giving up TD and Jorts (and Jerome + 2 2nd rounders) for CAMBY, one of the toughest Knicks of all time. How often over the last 11 years did we moan about defense and rebounding??? That is what wins games. That's what wins championships!!! We are ALL IN for next season. This is it. No more "wait and see" no more excuses. This team is built to win over the next 3 years and CAMBY will be a huge part of that.
If Nash can be an effective PG at his age, why can't CAMBY be an effective C??? Experience pays off here folks. CAMBY is primed for this. The Knicks are the real deal and Miami will feel this move the most.
ahh somethings are just meant to be. that camby 23 is legit.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
#23 is back home in the Garden, one of my favorite centers in the NBA and I think would potentially be the perfect starter next to Chandler.
I Cant wait to see Camby back in the Garden, the Gardens going to be rocking when he takes his first step back on the court as a Knick
Glad to see Kurt Thomas back as well, he ain't got much left in the tank but he still plays with alot of heart and passion, no easy buckets!!
I am tired of seeing Amare play center. Yes he is faster than most centers and can move better off the dribble, but you suffer having AMare at center with his comical defense and rebounding.
Tyson can now play aggresive and not worry about hurting his team so much when he comes out. Tyson has a temper and gets in foul trouble often, this is where Camby will get his big minutes.
We won't have a mis match when we face tall teams like the Lakers if we have Camby and Tyson share the floor to guard Bynum and Gasol, so we addres different issues with Camby.
It i nostaligia seeing him in a KNick uniform again and bring him and Kurt Thomas back is great for the long time knick fan.
I am excited to have Camby back, he will be a huge part of this team...Mob Deep now has a lock down defender in the paint.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
I love how people use age to discredit our veteran pick ups, with Kurt Thomas, it's a fair enough point. However Marcus Camby still has years of game left in him.
He will seriously bolster our second unit, kind of dissapointed him and Jeffries can't share the paint together. But if rumour is true and Jeffries is waived, we could have him back sooner than usual.
Kurt Thomas will be a decent signing, he is a great player to have in garbage minutes. I think Melo & Camby will share the minutes when STAT is on the bench, but putting Thomas out there wouldn't hurt. He still plays tough defense and has another 5 fouls to give. A great enforcer to have out their especially against some of the younger PF's to throw them off their game. Let's not forget that he is 4th all time blocks on the Knicks. Not to mention he still has a sweet elbow jumper that would let Chandler & Camby go to work around the rim.

I take my job very seriously, but I've always had a lighthearted approach to the game. I like to have fun and get things done. I want to enjoy my time in baseball because I know I'm not some spring chicken and I may not have a lot of years left. I just want to enjoy it and have fun.
If you're too uptight, this game is going to chew you up and spit you out. There are 25 other guys who walk into the same clubhouse as you and you need to be able to check your ego at the door.
As a reliever, we have a lot of fun during the season. In the Tampa bullpen we had what we called the "senate." If some of the fans could just hear us out there, they would get a good laugh.
I like to do impressions and experiment with different accents. The impression I do the most is Sean Connery. I play around with that one a lot. I also can do Sylvester Stallone and Harry Caray pretty well.
It's all just playing around, though. I have so much down time that I'll go crazy if I don't do something.
Being from Louisiana, I don't know if my Southern accent helps or hinders my impressions. I think it may help because my Southern drawl is so thick that the other accents just sound so odd coming out of my mouth.
There are a lot of funny guys on the team: guys like Brian Meadows, Jon Switzer and most of the bullpen, to boot. Even Ty Wigginton will throw out a good one every now and then. We're all amusing in our own ways I guess. We make each other laugh a lot.
At the same time, I don't take playing baseball for granted. I don't know exactly how long it took for me to get to the Major Leagues, but I do know that it was a long time. There were times when it felt like the wheels were just spinning in the mud.
So when you get that chance, you want to do everything you can to stay up here and establish yourself as a big leaguer. I don't take that lightly. I'm up here now and I want to stay up here. The big thing is to remain humble. I just want to go out there and do the best I can.

Raimi and Maguire To Return For Spider-Man 4 (and 5)
- By
- 122 Comments
[Update: E! Online's Ted Casablanca reports that all talk on Spider-Man 4, as well as 5, is "jumping the gun" according to his sources. He adds that Tobey Maguire has not signed on to return calling the earlier claims "premature." Although it appears Maguire will probably return. – Jamie.]
Despite the fact that it made $900 million, I've yet to meet a single person who actually liked Spider-Man 3. Hell, the audience I saw it with went full-on MST3K resulting in huge laughter during the midnight screening.
But since its release, there have been countless rumors regarding the future of the Spider-Man franchise. "Is Tobey Maguire going to stop playing Webhead?" and "What will Sam Raimi's involvement be… if any?" were among the many questions asked by fanboys across the internet.
Now it looks like plans are under-way to get Webhead's fourth cinematic outing to the silver screen ASAP.
According to Nikki Finke over at Deadline Hollywood Daily, Sony has hammered out new deals for director Sam Raimi and star Tobey Maguire to return for Spider-Man 4 among other things.
Even though most people would prefer her non-participation, Sony supposedly "would never recast" Kirsten Dunst as Spidey's main-squeeze Mary Jane Watson. Although Finke was quick to point out no deal is in place for her yet – this despite the fact that her character will return.
"Once you find out who the villain is, you'll know who's playing it" says their source(s) regarding the identity of the next Spider villain. Um, okay. I would assume then they're referring to Dylan Baker's Dr. Conners. That's the Lizard for all of you non-comic book readers out there!
And what about those rumors at the start of the summer of Spider-Man 4 and 5 being filmed concurrently? Apparently, Sony is considering it. While those God-awful Pirates of the Caribbean and Matrix sequels are not the best example of this, it did work for the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Honestly, I find it hard to believe Sony is willing to fork all that money to Raimi and Maguire considering the reception of 3. I'm sorry, but this franchise needs new blood behind the camera. On the other hand, Jamie Vanderbilt is writing the script – the same guy who penned the most excellent Zodiac, which starred Robert Downey Jr.
Not to mention, Tobey's getting on up there in years. He'll be 36 years-old when its released in May 2011. You think he can still effectively play a character whose in his early-20s by then?
And what's with the sudden "sacred cow" of keeping Kirsten Dunst around when damn-near nobody wants her (or her character) to come back?
I'm pretty iffy about this news, folks. Personally, I'd take it with a grain of salt until we hear something official from Sony.
Spider-Man 4 is currently aiming for a May 2011 release.

While I was attending the Bush Beans factory tour at the BMWMOA Rally, someone stole my Zumo 550 from my motorcycle. I have reported the theft of this unit to Garmin and the Zumo Forum and to my insurance company.
I would like to think that it was not one of the attendees from the BMWMOA who performed this dastardly act.
I am posting this in hopes that anyone who might purchase a used Garmin would check the serial numbers with Garmin and the Zumo Forums.
The serial number is 171019423, in case anyone runs across it.

Ok, this should be easy but for me it doesn't seem so... probably because i'm very close to the deadline and have a lot to do.
This is what i'm trying to do;I have an html form with a textfield and a button - whenever the button is clicked or enter is pressed i would like it to goto a particular page and place the text field's value on the end as a hash.
for instance;user enters "test" and presses enter or hits the button and the page goes to "google.com#test"
is there a base site and then the #textentered or also the url changes, I mean is it always google.com#textentered or it will be somerandompage.com#textentered?
it's always the same page but the hash will change. I already have a method for getting and handling hashes. I just don't know how to manipulate the form.A simple button onclick doesn't do the trick and neither does wrapping it in so far the best i can get is "?searchTerm=testttt" which really isn't acceptable because the page receiving it treats terms after "?" as a particular action whereas it treats # as something entirely different.
the field is a search field. I'm using the hash to pass the term across joomla modules to a new page where the results will be displayed.
honestly i don't even know where the searchTerm part is coming from.. I guess it's the default method of HTML forms. I've tried taking the result that gave me that and using # + .substr(12). No go -_-
would this work for what you are trying to do?
function openUrl(){
var hash = # + getElementBtyId('fieldid').value;
var url = "http://www.google.com" + hash;
window.open (url, "mywindow");
<input type="submit" onclick="openUrl()" value="Submit" />
I am not very good at javascript so I don´t know if this will work for what you need
nope unfortunately...
I need to open the page within the parent not as a popupand I'd already tried the same thing with window.location.href='s instead of open() and it doesn't do anything but append ?searchTerm=***word**
I even tried taking the result and concatenating the desired url and # with it using .substr(12) with no luck.
I really don't want to go back into my original JS function to make this work for an unlinked form on a different page.My JS app is HUGE. It's encompasses a custom shadowbox and also interfaces the youtube API to pull videos from a feed for a custom display within a list. it also includes a homebrew search engine designed for the feed and links up with about 50 custom filters contained within an accordion. the reason I want it to be transferred via hash is because on the receiving end I went through the trouble to write a hashlistener to make the filters work properly from page to page.
it sounds like overhaul until you realize i'm using Joomla with different implementations in different places on the page. the search field has no sort of access to anything outside of it's module. I just can't believe i'm stuck on this miniscule functionality after building such a hardcore solution -_-
Normally I would probably be able to handle this with no problem but I've been working my ass off. I'm pretty much completely out of steam after working well over 70 hours in the past week on this project that is now 5 days behind schedule. The original developer had 2.5 months to complete the project and bailed out in the last few days... without the decency to even leave some code behind (i think he was failure and just couldn't do it). I'm already 4x past my estimate and the client ran out of budget at 2x so i'm not even getting paid. However the client has a lot more projects for me to work on IF i can get this damn site live! Tonight was supposed to be the ultimate deadline and I have to be ready to go live before 5-6AM.
This is a nightmare -_- and my brain isn't even working.The worst part is... I've already received a 50% deposit on my original quote and I won't get paid the 150% balance until it's finished.I'm not really a web developer... I write C# for fun and typically write x32 and x64 intel assembly based embedded software. I just took up the job for extra cash to pay off student loans.
From memory i believe the second argument for window.open can also act as a target so for instance if you use...
var url = 'http://www.myurl.com/page.php#' + document.getElementById('textInput').value;
window.open(url, '_self');
Also i noticed you said you tried
which won't work as .href is a property of the window object and doesn't use any exclusive redirect event so all it does is set the href value, if you remove .href so its just the below it will redirect.
window.location = 'http://www.google.com';
i tried that too... unfortunately all it does is append the current url with ?textfieldnameproperty=termattemptedtoapply
i use ? as a stop to specify an action on the receiving end so that's not really acceptable even if it did relocate to the proper page
function openUrl(){
var url = 'http://www.myurl.com/page.php#' + document.getElementById('searchtext').value;
window.open(url, '_self');
//window.location = url;

<form id="searchForm">
<input class="searchbutton" type="submit" value="Search" onclick="openUrl()">
<input class="searchfield" id="searchtext" name="searchTerm" type="text" value="" style="WIDTH: 280px;">
Here's something you can try, instead of trying to use JavaScript use HTML instead.
<form id="searchForm" action="url_here" method="get">
So what this will do by default is append any input field value to the URL rather then using extra code to do the work the browser can do.
ugggghhhh... No dice.
I tried that too before coming here to post and still all it does is put ?searchTerm= onto the end of the current URL.
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Home Page" ONCLICK="window.location.href='http://www.google.com'"> works by itself but how do i go about bring the hash value with me O_O while using type submit so i can check for the enter key in the search field
How about using onchange for the text field and have a function that changes the url?
function change_url(){
some script to construct url
some script to update form action

<form id="searchForm" action="change_this" method="get" >
<input class="searchbutton" type="submit" value="Search" onclick="openUrl()">
<input class="searchfield" id="searchtext" name="searchTerm" type="text" value="" style="WIDTH: 280px;" onchange="change_url()" >
Try this, it works for me up to the point of opening google.com but google does not seem to respond very well at the url Google

Rookie lefty Mike Kickham makes the third start of his big- league career on Monday night when the San Francisco Giants visit Great American Ball Park for the first of four games with the Cincinnati Reds.
A sixth-round pick of the Giants in 2010, Kickham debuted in the minors with San Francisco's team in the Arizona rookie league and allowed three runs on four hits in 2 1/3 innings of three relief outings.
He spent 2011 with Augusta of the South Atlantic League and was 5-10 in 21 starts with a 4.11 ERA in 111 2/3 innings, then was at Richmond of the Double- A Eastern League and went 11-10 in 28 appearances.
He began this season and won three of eight decisions in 14 starts with Fresno of the Triple-A Fresno, then debuted in the majors on May 28 by allowing four runs on four hits in 2 1/3 innings of a 6-3 loss to Oakland.
His second start came a month later in Los Angeles against the Dodgers and he gave up six runs in 5 1/3 innings of a 6-5 loss on June 25.
For the Reds, veteran Bronson Arroyo faces the Giants for the 13th time in his 340th big-league start.
He's won three of eight decisions in the initial 12 meetings while posting a 3.13 earned run average while walking 25 batters and striking out 42.
Arroyo won four games in a five-start stretch between May 12-June 3, but has since gone 0-1 in four starts while allowing 13 runs in 24 2/3 innings.
In his last start, Arroyo was a 7-3 loser at Oakland after allowing seven runs on seven hits in four innings on June 25.
On Sunday in Colorado, the Giants' offense broke out and helped snap a six- game losing streak in a 5-2 win against the Rockies in the finale of a three- game series.
Buster Posey and Hunter Pence each homered as the Giants also won for the first time in their last eight road games.
Madison Bumgarner (8-5) tossed his fourth straight quality start to earn the win. Bumgarner gave up one run on four hits with five strikeouts over seven innings.
In Texas, Yu Darvish tossed six scoreless frames and the Rangers edged Cincinnati, 3-2, in the rubber match of a three-game interleague series.
Jay Bruce and Chris Heisey knocked in a run apiece for the Reds, who have dropped seven of their last nine. Mat Latos (7-2) was charged in defeat for eight hits and three runs -- two earned -- while fanning nine with two walks over 6 2/3 frames.
The Reds won the season series with the Giants, 4-3, in 2012 and downed San Francisco, 5-2, in 2011.

It's easy to look back at the fall season in retrospect and say you could have seen the success or cancellations of certain series coming. But trying to predict the success of the new series of the season isn't quite as simple. There's the matter of considering the plot, the stars, who's behind it, the network it's airing on, and what it's airing against. We took all of that into consideration when we attempted to predict which new network TV comedies and dramas would be hits, and which would flop.
It seems important to note that this list is not about predicting which shows we'll like or dislike. As anyone familiar with the primetime television game knows, the best shows don't always see the success they deserve, and other shows somehow managed to survive season after season, despite not measuring up to our standards for good television. Our opinions of the plot did factor into our predictions, but in the end, we rated the shows by their predicted success rate, not the quality of the programming. (In a perfect world, the two would go hand in hand.)
How it works:
As you'll see, each series has a number next to its title. To compile this list, each of us used a score of 1-10 - with 10 being the highest predicted rate of success for that series and 1 being the lowest. The number next to each title is the average score earned based on the scores given to it by those of us who contributed. This list includes the top five predicted winners and the bottom five predicted cancellations based on average score. You can see the full list of series (including the ones that fell somewhere in the middle) and their average scores down below.
Elementary - 8.72
Airs: Thursdays at 10/9c on CBS.
There's been a lot of controversy surrounding the fact CBS has chosen to do a take on Sherlock Holmes around the same time Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat's Sherlock has made its mark on many an American home. If anything, this controversy has only served to boost a show that CBS was already touting via corner pop-ups on TV screens months and months ago. Sure, Elementary will be airing on Thursday nights, which is a notoriously tough spot for TV, but it has enough going for it that the show should stick around on the network for a while.
Elementary has several standout premises, including a female take on Watson and star power from Kill Bill's Lucy Liu and Trainspotting's Jonny Lee Miller. Plus, the CBS drama will get a boost from the highly touted Person of Interest airing prior. Lastly, Elementary will be airing in the 10 o'clock slot. Its only big competition will be Scandal and Rock Center, which is a joke. If the new Sherlock Holmes show doesn't make a clean sweep of the hour, we will be astounded.
Arrow - 8.64
Airs: Wednesdays at 8/7c on The CW.
The CW has already shown that they can successfully bring superheroes to live action television, and Arrow is poised to continue that success. With the Smallville audience ready and waiting, Arrow should slip easily into the space it left behind. Arrow is up against The X-Factor on Wednesday night, which is already looking to have a strong season ahead, but the audience for the two is very different. There's no real competition for Arrow in its time slot, especially for viewers seeking drama, action and adventure. CW viewers are going to tune in for this show, and it will likely win over some new converts the network as well since the other options are some mediocre-looking comedies and the tired Survivor.
Stephen Amell is well-cast as the handsome, troubled billionaire whose life is changed after 5 years stranded on an island. The CW has once again managed to bring a superhero to life minus some of the cheesier side of comic book crime fighters; they've followed the no tights and no capes rule that worked for Smallville. Arrow looks dark, gritty, sexy and exciting. It's the right show on the right network at the right time, and Arrow is poised to be a bulls eye shot for the CW.
The Mindy Project - 8.26
Airs: Tuesdays at 9:30/8:30c on Fox.
The Wednesday 9-10:00 p.m. time slot is actually pretty tight, especially when it comes to half-hour comedies, but The Mindy Project seems primed for success for several reasons. First and foremost, the talent behind the project is staggering with the very funny Mindy Kaling leading a great team of writers that includes former staffers of Community, The Simpsons and, of course, The Office. It will also be interesting to see how many fans of the workplace sitcom will follow Kelly Kapoor to her new gig, we would wager quite a few since the former is clearly on the way out.
Joining Kaling in front of the camera is Chris Messina, Anna Camp, Ike Barinhotz (hilarious!), Richard Schiff and Stephen Tobolowsky! Not to mention a slew of guest stars from various television comedies like the great Bill Hader and Ed Helms. It also won't hurt that the predictably 'adorkable' new show will follow Zooey Deschanel's New Girl, a similar female led, looking-for-love sitcom that broke-out last season and should provide the best possible lead in for the, uh, new new girl. It looks fresh and a little raw for network, like the PG-13 version of Lena Dunham's Girls. And that just might work.
Vegas - 7.88
Airs: Tuesdays at 10/9c on CBS.
If ever a show sounded like a raging success on paper, it's Vegas. When it debuts on September 25, it'll do so on the most popular network (CBS), with a pretty decent time slot (Tuesdays/ 10 EST), against marginally successful competition (Parenthood, Private Practice, local news). More importantly, it will offer potential viewers two leads who have toplined successful projects before (Dennis Quaid, Michael Chiklis), a story written by the dude (Nicholas Pileggi) who penned one of the more beloved gangster stories ever (Goodfellas) and a basic subject that by definition blends crime, sex appeal and nostalgia (the history of Vegas).
Obviously, people aren't going to continue tuning in if Vegas is profoundly awful, but half the battle of succeeding as a new show is convincing people to tune in at least once. Viewers will almost definitely come out in droves to see what this show is offering. If it's decent, it'll be able to retain most and refine its game as it goes. Plus, like Spartacus and other efforts focused on a specific time period, there's a natural rise and fall element many will likely want to stick around for. We're not sure we would bet it all on Vegas, but we'd certainly put a few hundred bucks down and cross our fingers.
Nashville - 7.7
Airs: Wednesdays at 10/9c on ABC.
Taking over the time slot vacated by Revenge (which was bumped up to Sunday nights), Nashville comes from Thelma & Louise writer Callie Khouri mashes drama with country music, with its focus on an older country singer who finds herself facing steep competition in the form of an up-and-coming young artist. Given the growing popularity of drama series with a musical focus (Smash, Glee), Nashville's premise should grab people's attention from the start. Factor in the country music twist, and it seems like there's a built in audience for it.
Beyond the music, the series boasts a solid cast, which includes Friday Night Lights' Connie Britton and Heroes' Hayden Panettierre. The series' competition isn't all that bad by comparison to some of the other new series. Nashville has CSI to contend with on Wednesday nights, along with NBC's new drama Chicago Fire. And it looks like Britton will face off against her last series American Horror Story in the 10:00 p.m. time slot. Factor in the country twist, the solid leading ladies, and an intriguing premise, which could offer plenty of drama, we think Nashville's going to be one of the front runners among the new series this fall.

US Department of Labor announces $2 million to assist storm recovery in Illinois
WASHINGTON The U.S. Department of Labor today awarded a $2 million National Emergency Grant to assist with cleanup and recovery efforts following severe storms, straight-line winds and flooding in 40 counties throughout Illinois between April 16 and May 5.
"Severe spring storms and flooding have inflicted significant damage on public infrastructure across Illinois," said acting Secretary of Labor Seth D. Harris. "Today's grant will begin the important work of cleaning up the widespread damage caused by violent winds and flooding."
Awarded to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, these funds will be used to create approximately 110 temporary jobs to assist with the recovery efforts.
As of June 21, the Federal Emergency Management Agency declared as eligible for FEMA's public assistance program the Illinois counties of Adams, Brown, Bureau, Calhoun, Carroll, Cass, Clark, Crawford, DuPage, Fulton, Greene, Grundy, Hancock, Henderson, Kendall, Knox, La Salle, Lake, Lawrence, Livingston, Marshall, Mason, McDonough, McHenry, Mercer, Monroe, Morgan, Ogle, Peoria, Pike, Putnam, Rock Island, Schuyler, Scott, Shelby, Stark, Tazewell, Warren, Will and Woodford. Additional counties may be included at a later date. More information on designated disaster areas in Illinois is available from FEMA at http://www.fema.gov/disaster/4116.
Of the $2 million announced today, $708,444 will be released initially. Additional funding up to the amount approved will be made available as the state demonstrates a continued need for assistance.
National Emergency Grants are part of the secretary of labor's discretionary fund and are awarded based on a state's ability to meet specific guidelines. For more information, visit http://www.doleta.gov/NEG/.

Mustapha chose hoops over track
For those who had the pleasure of witnessing former Terrier Dammy Mustapha soar through the air in his award-filled high school track career, many would have thought that playing college basketball would be the last thing on Mustapha's radar when he was deciding where he would attend college.
Even Mustapha, who was a two-year member of the Terriers boys' varsity basketball team, thought that if he was going to continue his athletic career in college it would be on the track instead of the court.
"I didn't really think about playing college basketball until my senior year," said Mustapha. "But I decided that I could always fall back on track so I gave it a try."
Although Mustapha eventually set his dreams on playing basketball at the next level, his high school stats did not spark many college coach's interest and thus Mustapha had to sell himself if he was going to find a team willing to give him a shot.
It was at this soul-searching period that Mustapha found the perfect match in Castleton State College, a place that he had not even considered until his mother convinced him to at least take a visit.
"I contacted the assistant coach at the time and we talked about the potential for me to play basketball," said Mustapha. "I didn't have it in my mind that it was a place I wanted to go until I went up there and met the players and saw how nice the campus was."
Even after Mustapha had made his decision, he had a long road ahead of him if he was to make the Spartans' squad. Current Spartans' coach Paul Culpo had recently been hired and there was very little preference given to Mustapha when he began pre-season workouts. "I basically walked on," said Mustapha.
However, Mustapha, who until his freshman year in college, had always relied on his sheer natural gifts, never touching a weight, he was able to impress his coaches by sticking it out through a tough pre-season, where many potential players quit, a perseverance that gave Mustapha his shot.
"Dammy is one of the most improved players I have ever coached," said Culpo. "He serves as a great example of what putting in the time and sticking with something can do for an athlete."
Fast-forward to four years later and Mustapha's stats speak for themself, as after struggling for playing time his freshman and sophomore year, Mustapha played a significant role in the Spartans' recent success, which included a NAC championship in 2012 and a trip to the NCAA national tournament and an ECAC birth this year, averaging 7.5 points per game and 6.5 rebounds per game in that two-year span.
"The coaches gave me a role that they wanted me to fill," said Mustapha. "They wanted me to lead the team in rebounding and to play with a lot of energy. Once they told me that, I gained a lot of confidence knowing that I was an important member of the team."
This role was never more valuable to the Spartans than in their first round ECAC game against Wentworth at Spartan Arena on Feb. 27.
The Spartans, who trailed by one point with 8.5 seconds remaining, drew up a play that did not involve Mustapha taking the shot, however when the Spartan shot rolled around and fell off Mustapha, who had crashed the weak side, elevated in his typical track athlete fashion and tipped the ball home, giving Castleton a one-point victory.
"My freshman year I probably would not have made that play because I didn't have the basketball IQ to know where that ball was going," said Mustapha. "With so many practices under my belt, I was able to read the shot and know where I had to be to make a play."
Beyond his accolades on the court, Mustapha has realized just how important college athletics can be in preparing young adults for the real world.
"I have learned how important time management is," said Mustapha, who had woken up early to be interviewed and to conduct some last-minute review before his test in the afternoon. "It's a situation where you work hard in the classroom and then you get rewarded by playing a game that you love."
In just 10 weeks Mustapha will receive his Bachelor's degree in business marketing and although he has received several job offers, Mustapha is not quite sure where life after college will bring him.
However, there is one thing that Mustapha is sure of, he wouldn't trade his last four years for anything and wants to pass on to young athletes the importance of them pursuing their own dreams.
"There were people who said I would never play college basketball, but I did," said Mustapha. "I would tell any kid who has set their dreams at playing at the next level to never let anyone convince you that you can't, if you work hard you can achieve anything."

|After spending 6 days at the 14k' camp and then another 5 days at the 17k' camp due to high winds, summited on 5/30 Friday. Total of 19 days to the summit. Started out as a part of 5-person rope team, but was solo above the 14k' camp, as rest of the team could not wait out the storms. Fortunately, I was climbing totally self-sufficient in terms of gear from the start: my own tent, two stoves, shovel, saw, repair kits, etc.. The heavy pack and sled made the climb and the solo descent especially memorable. Denali, what a mountain! It was worth the time, money, and effort!!!

|That worked out for us...we spent only 2 nights at the 17K camp...we were lucky with the weather window.
