Blue Boy
Meet Kiran Sharma: lover of music, dance, and all things sensual; son of immigrants, social outcast, spiritual seeker. A boy who doesn't quite understand his lot—until he realizes he's a god. . .
As an only son, Kiran has obligations—to excel in his studies, to honor the deities, to find a nice Indian girl, and, above all, to make his mother and father proud—standard stuff for a boy of his background. If only Kiran had anything in common with the other Indian kids besides the color of his skin. They reject him at every turn, and his cretinous public schoolmates are no better. Cincinnati in the early 1990s isn't exactly a hotbed of cultural diversity, and Kiran's not-so-well-kept secrets don't endear him to any group. Playing with dolls, choosing ballet over basketball, taking the annual talent show way too seriously. . .the very things that make Kiran who he is also make him the star of his own personal freak show. . .
Surrounded by examples of upstanding Indian Americans—in his own home, in his temple, at the weekly parties given by his parents' friends—Kiran nevertheless finds it impossible to get the knack of "normalcy." And then one fateful day, a revelation: perhaps his desires aren't too earthly, but too divine. Perhaps the solution to the mystery of his existence has been before him since birth. For Kiran Sharma, a long, strange trip is about to begin—a journey so sublime, so ridiculous, so painfully beautiful, that it can only lead to the truth. . .
"The best fiction reminds us that humanity is much, much larger than our personal world, our own little reality. Blue Boy shows us a world too funny and sad and sweet to be based on anything but the truth." —Chuck Palahniuk New York Times bestselling author

Blue Boy
By Rakesh Satyal

Let me tell you something about elementary school: it's full of sly madness. I know most people picture little kids running around and wreaking havoc, splashing primary-colored paints all over the walls, liberating slimy class pets like frogs and lizards and more or less making the river Styx look like Lake Placid. But it's actually a madhouse in a very different way. It's not just a madhouse but an asylum. In asylums, the harshest, most deranged madnesses are those that are less verbal and more emotional, those that happen internally instead of screamed at the top of lungs or unleashed by overturning desks. Pushing and shoving are nothing compared to sly note passing and stares through slitted eyes. And I'm in the midst of both right now.
A week ago, two Big Events happened. One of the Events was the announcement of the 1992 Martin Van Buren Elementary School Fall Talent Show.
"So, class," said Mrs. Nevins, a pencil of a woman — long, thin body with a perm-topped, eraser-pink face at the tip. "It's not too early to start thinking about the fall talent show."
Cue the Hallelujah Chorus.
"I know many of you participated last year, and I encourage all of you to participate again this year. You have a couple of months to decide on your acts and rehearse them. Then you will have to fill out this form" — she was handing slips of light blue paper to each of us — "and describe what your act will be. It can be anything you want — you can dance or sing or play the piano or do a funny skit. Or you could even lip-synch to a song."
She must have been joking because almost everyone lipsynchs to a song. It takes no talent to do this. I'll never forget the disgusting sight that was Kevin Bartlett dressed in a leather jacket and a Beethoven-like wig while he "strummed" a cardboard guitar and "sang" Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer." Kevin didn't move from his spot. He didn't even really know any of the words besides the chorus, so, minus the music, he was just standing and staring. Everyone was basically listening to the radio for five minutes. But their cheers after he "finished" meant that they loved it. Then there was the "brilliance" that was Cindy Michaels hand-jiving to Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach." Obviously, Cindy's mother, Ms. Lansing, didn't ever stop to listen to the "I got knocked up but I'm going to keep the baby" lyrics, nor the fact that chances were Cindy, who smooched every boy in class, might someday live up to the words. There are countless examples of other lip-synching fiascos that I could mention, but suffice it to say that 99.9 percent of the school is virtually talentless, and there is only that one rare diamond in the rough that shines through the mold.
And I'm a 400-carat stone, baby.
Unfortunately, the announcement of this miraculous annual event coincided with the Other Big Event: Kiran Being Wronged by Two Cold-Hearted Snakes.
Sarah Turner and Melissa Jenkins — elementary school wenches of the worst degree. In the Polaroid of my mind, the three of us sit arranged on the playground swings: Sarah on the left swing, her golden-retriever hair crossed by a purple headband and buoyed at the temples by two elfin ears. Me on the center swing, large brown eyes and mop-top black hair, red sweatsuit sheathing my body, legs crossed as if I'm a hostess. Melissa on the right, a near-clone of Punky Brewster — her hair in brown, almost black, tresses styled on her head (and which used to be in pigtails and fastened with a smiling yellow-sun barrette before she hit sixth grade and thought it too juvenile); freckles sprinkled over her nose; ragtag outfit made of a purple jean jacket and a rainbow of odd accessories — red and green tie-dyed T-shirt, blue Capri pants, orange socks. Amidst the scenery of gray gravel beneath our feet, the swings beneath our bottoms, and the twisted metal shapes of the monkey bars, slides and merry-go-round behind us, we are a brilliant splash of color, and I seem to be the nexus, my dark face and hair forming the stem of my cherry tomato clothing.
But the reality is different.
A week ago, the first day of sixth grade, Sarah and Melissa come up to me just before recess.
"Key-ran," Sarah says, shaking her mane to get it out of her face. "Wanna go swinging today?"
I can't believe my luck; last school year, I used to wander out to the swings all by my lonesome, bucking the Mariah Carey craze and humming Whitney Houston's classic "How Will I Know?" in my puberty-endangered soprano.
"Me?" I say, raising a hand to my chest and widening my eyes as if the girls have just pronounced me Miss America.
"Of course, silly," Melissa says. She tugs at the lapels of her jean jacket and shakes her head from side to side to flaunt her brown 'do.
The two of them lead me out to the swings. As we pass by, our classmates' mouths round into shocked O's. We walk through the gravel, kicking up stones and lifting dust into the air. It is the end of August, still summer, and you can tell that all of the kids feel oddly out of place, stunned to know that the weather can persist even if the vacation cannot. All of us have spent a morning with our summery thirst for diversion pent up, and even though we are in sixth grade now — the highest grade in this school — we cling to recess as much as we ever have, so when Sarah, Melissa, and I reach the swings, we slide into the floppy black seats with a goal to swing until our legs are blue at the knee.
"Let's see who can swing highest," Melissa says, pushing off and demonstrating exemplary technique — a smooth extension of her two gams, pressed together, as she swings forward, then a swift separation as she falls back, bending her knees so that each leg forms a V parallel to the ground. Her lips are pursed in heavy concentration at first, but as she falls into her rhythm, her face becomes supremely serene. I begin to copy, a bouquet of butterflies rising in me — a feeling I mistake at first for fear but later identify, all too sadly, as pride.
I give it everything I have. A breeze forms around me as I swing, the summer day now feeling brisk and cool. I can feel the air blowing through the fabric of my sweatpants, can hear the squeak of the swings' hinges and the breaths of exertion as Sarah and Melissa move higher, can smell faint wisps of their Petit Naté perfume. I push harder, almost coming out of my seat, and I notice that as I swing forward, the girls swing back. This gives me an overwhelming sense of victory, a bragging right of sorts. But I don't dare brag. I want to be humble to my two friends, effervescently graceful, like Whitney.
I swing higher, so out of breath it is like I am in the stratosphere. And then a sound stops my reverie. I look down to see the swings on either side of me dangling, their chains clinking. Just below and in front of me are Sarah and Melissa, their arms folded, mother-like. As I slide past the ground, I jam my feet into the gravel and look up at my new friends.
"We're finished swinging," says Sarah. One shake of her doggy hair. "Let's go on the monkey bars."
I gulp. Monkey barring has never been my best sport. And yes, since I am a bumbling fool when it comes to tennis (which Indians play) and football or basketball (which Americans play), monkey barring is the closest thing to a sport for me.
Sarah and Melissa walk arm in arm to the bars and hoist themselves up. They look down at me, two mermaids sunbathing on a rock.
"Come on, Key-ran," Melissa says. "Are ya scared?" I am scared, but I grab a bar in each hand and pull.
My body doesn't go any higher. In fact, it goes lower, as my legs swing under me and my sweatpant-covered knees dig into the gravel. I swing forward toughly, yank back, and fall onto my ass, each little jagged pebble like a mini-dagger against my cheeks.
I am lucky Sarah and Melissa don't abandon me on the spot. Others would have: A cluster of buzz-cut third grade boys wearing Transformers T-shirts and playing with the half-car, half-robot toys looks up and grunts. Four girls with big bangs and slap bracelets on their wrists stop their game of four-square, their inflated red rubber ball bouncing away in flimsy flops, then rolling to a stop on the blacktop. At least three games of tag, two between girls, one between a boy and a girl, halt. This is nothing that would be considered huge to a regular person, but when you're the cherry tomato foreign boy ass-down in the gravel, the toy-playing boys transform into the robot men in their hands, smashing and snarling metallically. The stares from the four-square players are so piercing that the girls might as well have chucked the rubber ball at your head, a soft but meaningful thud resounding. And the halted cat-and-mouse games of tag represent this truth: all quarrels, all grievances have stopped, because the attention has turned to you and your worthlessness.
But somehow, through some great stroke of luck, Sarah and Melissa don't look at you that way. They look at each other, trying not to show their laughter so as to avoid hurting your feelings, strengthening you with their compassion. Instead, they dismount, take a hand of yours, and hoist you up. They link their arms in yours and skip you off to The Clearing.
The Clearing is quite a sizeable chunk of land for a school playground. It's several acres big, with patches of seed-shedding dandelions and two rusty goalposts marking a makeshift soccer field in the middle. Along the perimeter of The Clearing runs a series of fitness exercises that the school installed a few years ago as proof that the administrators were capable of making the students healthier. However, once this promise earned more tax money, the fitness course did not receive a proper upkeep, so the wooden structures are pathetic now. There is a warped balance beam that looks like one of those soggy brown runt French fries in a McDonald's Happy Meal. There is a pair of pull-up bars, one short, one tall, that long ago fell over into the uncut grass around them. And there is a set of increasingly tall logs that one is supposed to ascend, the final rough-hewn cylinder the tallest but, of course, the last, so that the only options are to descend the way one came or to jump to one's fate — which many kids have done and, in so doing, have broken their stupid limbs.
It is to the French fry balancing beam that the girls lead me. As we head in that direction, they are more talkative than ever.
"So, Key-ran," Melissa says. "Who's better — Malibu Barbie or Evening Gown Barbie?"
"Evening Gown Barbie," I say. It just comes right out of me, but once I say it, I can't stop. "She is posh and elegant. But my preferred doll is actually Strawberry Shortcake."
Sarah giggles, but Melissa is silent, confused.
"You talk funny," Melissa says.
"It's because he studies extra language arts with Mrs. Goldberg after school," Sarah says. "He's a smarty-pants. You didn't know that, Melissa?"
"Oh, I just forgot. You don't usually talk that much, Key-ran. Otherwise I would know how smart you are." She smiles sweetly and winks at Sarah.
I "blush." That's in quotes because the only blush I can get is from the sun's reflection off my red sweatsuit.
"What else do you like about Evening Gown Barbie?" Sarah asks as we near the balance beam.
As unabashedly as before, I tick off my list of Evening Gown Barbie pros:
"Her dress shimmers; her eyeshadow has silver glitter in it, so it gleams extra-specially; her hair is straight, so you can style her golden locks in many different ways; and she comes with a hot pink comb, which you can use to do your own hair when you dress up in the mirror."
This last tidbit is the only thing that seems to impress Sarah and Melissa, who have let go of my arms and flank me — presenting me as a bride to the balance beam.
"Well, don't you like Ken?" Sarah asks, putting one hand on my shoulder, and now something feels a little stranger than usual, especially when I see a small bump form in my sweatpants, like a creature rousing itself to wake.
"Uh, I do like Ken ..." I say.
"I like Ken, too," Melissa says. There is a devilish glow in her eyes that would never have crossed Punky's.
"But," Sarah says, her face now so close to mine that I can smell her breath — a mixture of candy and warm, almost stinky saliva — "you know Ken is missing something."
Gulp. "Yeah ..."
"You're gonna show it to us, Key-ran," Melissa says, and I know for certain that Punky never acted like this because Henry Warnemont, her foster parent, would have disowned and re-orphaned her for this kind of slutty behavior. "John Griffin showed us his and we didn't even have to ask. But he bet us five dollars yours is different. He said yours looks like an elephant."
"It does not!" I say, knowing what they mean. I had my traumatic "naked father" moment years ago, at which point I realized there was a certain flesh-related discrepancy between my father's privates and mine. Apparently, the only thing I got as a first-generation Indian was fore thought.
I don't think Sarah and Melissa will accept the truth right now, though. Like tourists on a safari, when they want to see an elephant, they want to see an elephant.
As the girls press in, the bulge in my pants gets bigger, and it seems, in that moment, that what makes me plop myself down on the balance beam is that hipward rush of blood instead of trying to dodge Sarah and Melissa's sexual advances. Down I go on the beam, the girls clanking heads as if in a really bad Laurel and Hardy spoof. But soon a more dire collision has occurred.
In the few years since Mr. Hughes, the amply-stomached groundskeeper, stopped looking after the fitness course, it seems the balance beam has formed a porcupine-like covering of thick, sharp splinters. One such splinter punctures through my sweatpants and an inch into my right cheek.
I want you to remember how I described Sarah and Melissa. Please imagine it. Please imagine the saccharine smiles on their faces. Imagine the countless sleepovers they must have, the boys they discuss with open-jawed squeals, the dress-ups and the dolls and the compacts of makeup, the slam books and kisses against their arms. Imagine the conspiratorial wickedness, the cunning plotting, the yearbook searches, seeking out that perfect victim. Imagine them settling on the foreign kid, the one who wears bright, primary-colored sweatsuits, the one who sings to himself, moves his hips and dances when he thinks no one is looking, who draws intricate pictures of pretty girls, sometimes, even, of these conniving girls. Imagine the "Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee" scene from Grease, that bevy of tough chicks, smoking and boozing and stuffing their bras with quilted Kleenex, then think of what those girls were like in elementary school, what Rizzo did with her biting sarcasm and animalistic instincts before sexing them away in the back of secondhand convertibles.
Got that picture? Can you see those girls? Now imagine what those heartless hussies would do if they saw the foreign kid get a splinter up his ass.
Hear that banshee wail of laughter? Now imagine being the squashed cherry tomato on the beam, realizing you need to modify your moniker for your "best friends": they are not really best friends, but, rather, the best friends you can get. The best friends you can get are two girls who laugh at the grimace of pain you make; laugh at the way you wobble your way off the beam — the splinter coming with you; laugh as you hop, wincing, across The Clearing, which seems all the more enormous now; laugh at how you have to go up to Mrs. Moehlman, the teacher on duty, and tell her you have to go to the nurse's office for ...
"For what, honey?"
"For ... I got a ... I got a tummyache."
"A tummy ache? Honey, then why are you grabbing your behind?"
It really doesn't help that Mrs. Moehlman is wearing sunglasses from which two mini-Kirans look back at you, grimacing and looking mortally constipated.
Over the next few days, the beautiful girls I once deemed my saviors lead the anti-Kiran rally. They're like political muckrakers to the Kiran Sharma campaign, whispering to people about the extraordinary flamboyances of my schoolgoing career. They bring up the time I went to Principal Taylor and asked her if I could go home to see if the cabbage I had planted in the backyard had grown into a Cabbage Patch Kid yet. They unearth the fact that for three days in third grade, I showed up to class wearing a heavy fog of my mom's Elizabeth Arden Red Door perfume until Mrs. Walters had to pull me aside and tell me it was causing my next-desk neighbor Chris Johnson to break out in hives. Then they uncover the time I had a copy of Judy Blume's Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, that hearty tribute to burgeoning female pubescence, in my desk. I even wanted to do a book report on it, but Mrs. Fisher told me it was too advanced a reading level for second grade, though I suspected this was not the real reason, a) because I was already attempting Sherlock Holmes stories by then, and b) because she asked to borrow the book and never gave it back.

Kiran is your average boy...who likes to play with Strawberry Shortcake dolls and wear his mother's make-up. BLUE BOY is told from Kiran's perspective. He's a pre-adolescent boy who doesn't have any friends and is looked upon as "weird" in school because of his predisposition to be more feminine than masculine. In addition to the normal school woes of a boy his age, he has to deal with living in Ohio, his family, his Indian culture, and their religion as challenges to being himself. The novel follows Kiran's random, every day thoughts over the course of a few months. As most of the novel takes place in Kiran's head, there is very little interaction between characters and little-to-no dialogue to balance out the long, descriptive narrative. There is very little showing of action, too much telling, and a lot of 80's references. Kiran's thoughts are also overly saturated with the most minute details. While the writing is definitely accurate for the thoughts of a young observant boy, it doesn't make for fascinating reading. As for the title, Kiran himself is the "blue boy," wanting to dress up as the blue Hindu god, Vishnu, for the school talent show. This show is what the entire novel leads up to. Big for a young boy, but very mundane for an adult reader. In other words, not much happens in this novel. And when something interesting does finally happen to our protagonist, it happens at the end of a chapter to keep the reader engaged (like a movie serial or chapter play cliffhanger). Unfortunately, the author doesn't then follow up very well in the next chapter with the "cliffhanger." The story (and Kiran's thoughts) just move on. I do commend the author, though, for Kiran's realization that he might be gay and what that means. His self-conclusion could be used a defense for gay equality, including same-sex marriage. All in all, I thought the writing in this debut novel was exceptional. I just wish the plot was a bit more interesting, and the descriptions a bit more concise.
Kiran Sharma—the complex, precocious, brazen, stubborn, adventurous, and decidedly "different" 12 year-old Indian-American protagonist—is convinced that he is the Hindu god Krishna come to life. As a culturally and sexually marginalized boy living in the Cincinnati suburbs during the 1990s, persuading himself that no one seems to understand him because he is, in fact, a deity becomes both a coping mechanism and a means of identity development for the charming and infuriating main character of Rakesh Satyal's *Blue Boy*. Kiran's command of language surpasses that of the typical 6th-grader. It probably surpasses the eloquence of many adults as well. His grammatical fastidiousness alienates him from his classmates (he even stays after school to study advanced language arts with one of his teachers). His penchant for spectacle and glamour—the school talent show is the highlight of his year—likewise distances him from his peers. And he fares no better with his fellow Indian-American acquaintances (whom he associates with mostly because their parents socialize on a weekly basis). Kiran is obsessed with his mother's make-up—it is when she catches him that he decides he is an incarnation of the blue-skinned Krishna, and he begins to weave a grandiose narrative of his life as a nascent deity that justifies his thoughts and actions. The novel—Kiran's narrative—delightfully illustrates both the joy and the sorrow of young adolescent isolation. Kiran is an only child, and even within marginalized communities (Indian Americans, the sexually precocious, the academically advanced) he often finds himself alone. And while he is well-equipped with the skills to amuse himself in his solitariness, he also yearns for friendship, companionship, and understanding. Peppered with pop culture allusions and resounding with the authentic dimensions of adolescent life as a "different" kind of kid, Satyal's novel is a valuable contribution to multicultural literature as well as Young Adult literature.
This book had me laughing! Looking forward to more from Rakesh Satyal.
Rakesh Satyal reveals the story of a South Asian boy growing up in America. Sound typical? This is far from the typical cultural clash novel. This story unveils the truth behind a boy who has many secrets. Secrets way too big for the culture in which he is immersed, for the parents he is born to, and the community in which he resides. Parental denial, religious obligation and confusion, and the boy's own inner demons together create a world of struggle and turmoil. The subject matter makes this novel worth reading. The writing itself is mediocre at best, however this book could work for the right book club group.
Rakesh Satyal has a truly unique way of viewing the world that resonates precisely because it is a view of the world that so many of us inhabit. Quiet and unassuming elementary schools, city parks, teachers, and shopping malls take on flavors larger than life through the eyes of the narrator - an imaginative and hilarious young indian american destined for bigger and better things than those that exist within the small Ohio town in which he grows up.

2013 Ford Taurus KBB Expert Review
Once a competitor to the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, the 2013 Ford Taurus now plays in a class occupied by larger, more luxurious cars like the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300. The Taurus offers a choice of powerful engines, including a fuel-sipping, turbocharged EcoBoost 4-cylinder and a twin-turbocharged V6. The Taurus' base engine is a normally aspirated V6 that, unlike the EcoBoost engine, can be equipped with all-wheel drive (AWD). Ford's 2013 Taurus is highly functional, but its aggressive looks, tall shoulders and somewhat restricted rearward view may not appeal to more conservative shoppers. However, if those shoppers are also technology geeks, the Taurus' long list of communication and connectivity hardware may quickly force a change of heart.
You'll Like This Car If...
If you like the solid feel of a full-size vehicle, but want something more modern and maneuverable than an old-fashioned SUV or wagon, the 2013 Ford Taurus is worth a test drive. Lincoln-like luxury features plus the performance-oriented SHO trim place this car in a league well above the average family sedan.
You May Not Like This Car If...
Purists will decry the Taurus' lack of a proper V8 engine, while those who like smaller cars with better outward visibility and a more airy interior may find the 2013 Ford Taurus to be a bit claustrophobic. Those seeking maximum fuel efficiency will be happier in a Ford Fusion Hybrid or a Hyundai Sonata.
What's New for 2013
For 2013, the Ford Taurus receives a mild exterior freshening, with a new grille and headlight treatment, new wheel designs, and larger LED taillights. A new EcoBoost 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is offered, delivering V6-like performance and 32-mpg highway fuel economy. New features include an available heated steering wheel.
Driving It
Driving Impressions
The 2013 Taurus takes the full-size sedan to new levels, delivering a smooth, quiet and comfortable ride, with the adept handling and driver feedback usually found in a more enthusiast-oriented car. Credit for the Taurus' excellent driving dynamics goes in part to "torque vectoring" and "curve control" modules. These systems use very slight brake force applied at specific wheels to improve the car's steering when moving rapidly around tight corners. From the driver's seat, we found the sightlines to be better than expected, but the wide B-pillar located just over the driver's shoulder and thick front and rear pillars somewhat hindered our view to the side. Fortunately, the Taurus' exterior mirrors are a vast help, as is the optional "BLIS" system that warns of objects too close to the vehicle's side when changing lanes. Ford's new 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine has no problem delivering power with no perceptible turbo lag.
Favorite Features
Ford's turbocharged 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine cranks out 240 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque (that's more torque than Ford's standard 3.5-liter V6), yet attains an impressive 32-mpg highway figure.
This system can be used to restrict vehicle speed, limit audio system volume and control other functions when a specific key is used to start the vehicle. In effect, MyKey lets parents better control the driving habits of their children, even when they aren't along for the ride.
Vehicle Details
The Ford Taurus' interior can easily carry five passengers, although we think four would be more comfortable. Up front, available massaging seats help negate leg and back fatigue on long drives and can also be climate controlled to provide both heating and cooling. Most of the Taurus audio and navigation controls can be operated via buttons on the steering wheel or by voice command. Further separating itself from the pedestrian family sedan, the 2013 Taurus offers such upscale options as automatic high-beam dimmers, Adaptive Cruise Control, BLIS (Blind Spot Information System), and a power sunshade for the rear window.
Compared to most sedans, the Ford Taurus is far from being in the norm. It's a tall sedan, with wide doors and a low roof, and a steeply raked windshield and rear window. The Taurus' large rear deck creates a vast 20-cubic-foot trunk capable of carrying a week's worth of luggage or two golf bags, and the low liftover makes it easy to get things in and out.
Notable Standard Equipment
Included on the 2013 Taurus' list of standard equipment are a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, power driver's seat, steering-wheel controls for audio and cruise control, power windows with one-touch up/down functions for the driver, and Ford's programmable MyKey system. The standard audio system is a 6-speaker CD player with an auxiliary audio input jack. Standard safety features include antilock disc brakes, electronic traction and stability control, dual front airbags, front-seat-mounted side airbags and side-curtain airbags protecting both the front and rear passengers.
Notable Optional Equipment
Many of the high-tech features offered on the Taurus are typically reserved for more expensive luxury cars. Among the more interesting options are seats with massage function, automatic high beams, a heated steering wheel, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and adaptive cruise control with collision warning. Other options include heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, Intelligent Access with push-button start, a power rear sunshade, power adjustable pedals, the SYNC voice-activated communications and entertainment system (standard on Limited and SHO), and a 12-speaker premium Sony audio system. On the safety front, the optional Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) alerts the driver when other vehicles are in his blind spots, while Cross-Traffic Alert warns of approaching traffic when you're backing up.
Under the Hood
All 2013 Ford Taurus trims start with a 288-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Optional on front-wheel-drive (FWD) models is the new 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged 4-cylinder. The Taurus SHO offers 77 more horsepower than the standard Taurus V6, thanks to the use of direct-injection technology and twin turbochargers. With the exception of the SE trim, all Taurus models also feature steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, providing manual control of the transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is optional on both SEL and Limited trims and standard on the Taurus SHO.
3.5-liter V6
288 horsepower @ 6,500 rpm
254 lb-ft of torque @ 4,000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 19/29 mpg (FWD), 18/26 mpg (AWD)
2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4
240 horsepower @ 5,500 rpm
270 lb-ft of torque @ 3,000 rpm
EPC city/highway fuel economy: 22/32 mpg
3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 (SHO)
365 horsepower @ 5,550 rpm
350 lb-ft of torque @ 1,500-5,250 rpm
EPA estimated city/highway fuel economy: 17/25 mpg
Pricing Notes
The 2013 Taurus has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting just over $27,000 for the SE trim, around $29,500 for the mid-level SEL, close to $34,000 for the Limited trim, and right at $40,000 for the high-performance Taurus SHO. All-wheel drive adds about $1,850 to the price tag, while the 2.0-liter EcoBoost is another $1,000. A nicely equipped Limited runs about the same price as a V6 Hyundai Genesis. To get the best deal, be sure to take a look at the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to see what consumers in your area are currently paying for their Ford Taurus'. We expect the 2013 Ford Taurus to hold its value better than previous versions, easily outpacing residual values for the Chevrolet Impala, falling slightly behind the Chrysler 300, and landing well below the Toyota Avalon and Hyundai Azera.

The Condusiv blog shares insight into the issues surrounding system and application
performance—and how I/O optimization software is breaking new ground in solving
those issues.
Still on Diskeeper Server? Here's four reasons to consider migrating to V-locity Server:
1. High performance. Whereas Diskeeper® Server, highlighted by IntelliWrite® technology, keeps Windows servers running like new, V-locity® Server™ goes a step beyond split I/O elimination with the inclusion of a server-side caching engine (IntelliMemory™) for performance boosts of 50% or more. With frequently-accessed data dynamically cached within available server resources, hot data no longer trudges the full distance from server to storage and back, consuming unnecessary bandwidth.With IntelliWrite preventing split I/Os on write requests, and IntelliMemory caching active data on reads, this holistic approach to I/O optimization accelerates the entire IT infrastructure since unnecessary I/O traffic is now eliminated before it is pushed through server, network and storage.
2. Network storage. Whereas Diskeeper Server is ideal for local server storage or direct-attached storage (DAS), V-locity Server is designed for network storage (SAN/NAS) since all I/O optimization occurs at the Windows OS layer, leaving the storage device untouched. With IntelliWrite, V-locity Server proactively eliminates split I/Os as close to the application as possible, and by caching active data within available server memory, IntelliMemory eliminates even more unnecessary I/O—preventing I/O traffic from traveling the full distance to storage and back. Since the storage subsystem is now processing considerably less I/O, bottlenecks are eliminated and more bandwidth is available.
3. Solid-state storage. Already running solid-state in your storage arrays or server PCI-E? V-locity sits at the top of the technology stack at the Windows OS layer so the entire infrastructure—regardless of vendor—reaps the benefit of I/O optimization downstream. V-locity is proactive—meaning it prevents the surplus of unnecessary I/O from ever being created in the first place. This way, your SSD or HDD media isn't dealing with the I/O mess after it has already wreaked havoc on your environment.
4. Benefit analysis. Unlike Diskeeper, V-locity comes with an embedded performance benchmark that allows users to see the before/after benefit of V-locity in their real-world environment and share the outcome with stakeholders prior to any kind of purchase commitment. This single-page report provides metrics like workload comparison, I/Os per second, latency, and more.
For high-performance in environments that leverage advanced storage technologies, V-locity Server is the best bet to maximize your existing hardware investment and eliminate performance bottlenecks overnight.

In today's well connected world of electronics and instant communications I received a text from a friend asking if I had seen the recent PC World magazine (February, 2012). He said it had some tidbit of information concerning one of my favorite subjects; system performance, defragmentation, and SSDs. I located a copy here at the office and found the article. As I read the first line I realized the debate on the virtues of defragmentation especially on SSDs will be one that goes on indefinitely as no one really talks about the issue with supporting hard facts and numbers. Most articles are rehashing ideas and opinions long since debunked. They continue to surface because very few truly understand the intricacies of the Windows NTFS file system and that of the storage media, whether it is rotating magnetic hard disks or electronic solid state disks.
So let's set the record straight… Fragmentation is exponentially more of a problem with today's data explosion. Defragmenting once a week will still cause the user to experience slowdowns from the degradation effects and doesn't address the issue when files are initially being written. And yes, never do a traditional defrag on SSDs.
NTFS file and free space fragmentation happens far more frequently than you might guess. It has the potential to happen as soon as you install the operating system. It can happen when you install applications or system updates, access the internet, download and save photos, create e-mail, office documents, etc… It is a normal occurrence and behavior of the computer system, but does have a negative effect on over all application and system performance. As fragmentation happens the computer system and underlying storage is performing more work than necessary. Each I/O request takes a measurable amount of time. Even in SSD environments there is no such thing as an "instant" I/O request. Any time an application requests to read or write data and that request is split into additional I/O requests it causes more work to be done. This extra work causes a delay right at that very moment in time. Whoever thought that defragmenting once a month or weekly was good enough, simply didn't understand fragmentation.
Disk drives have gotten faster over the years, but so have CPUs. In fact, the gap between the difference in speed between hard disks and CPU has actually widened. This means that applications can get plenty of CPU cycles, but they are still starving to get the data from the storage. What's more, the amount of data that is being stored has increased dramatically. Just think of all those digital photos taken and shared over the holidays. Each photo use to be approximately 1MB in size, now they are exceeding 15MB per photo and some go way beyond that. Video editing and rendering and storage of digital movies have also become quite popular and as a result applications are manipulating hundreds of Gigabytes of data. With typical disk cluster sizes of 4k, a 15MB size file could potentially be fragmented into nearly 4,000 extents. This means an extra 4,000 disk I/O requests are required to read or write the file. No matter what type of storage, it will simply take longer to complete the operation.
Suppose I chose to do some editing of my family videos on Tuesday evening. Even the built-in defragmentation tool in Windows 7 doesn't do me much good because it isn't schedule to run until Wednesday morning at 1:00am. This also means that quite a bit of fragmentation has built up since the previous week when it last ran. Maybe I'll manually run it, but that can take quite a while and I've wasted time that I would have rather spent on my project. Unfortunately, the Windows built-in defragmentation utility doesn't prevent fragmentation so even after running it manually; I still will wind up with fragmentation and slow access speed of my newly created files.
I've often thought about why Wednesday at 1:00am was chosen as the time to schedule defragmentation. Why isn't it scheduled all the time? It is because there could be system resource conflicts that either interfere with getting the task done or the defragmentation process has difficulty throttling back under a variety of conditions. Regardless, this wait a week to clean up fragmentation doesn't really help me when I need it most.
As pointed out in the article, the built-in defragmenter does not have the technology advancement to properly deal with fragmentation and SSDs. The physical placement of data on an SSD doesn't really matter like it does on regular magnetic HDDs. With an SSD there is no rotational latency or seek time to contend with. Many experts assume that fragmentation is no longer a problem, but the application data access speed isn't just defined in those terms. Each and every I/O request performed takes a measurable amount of time. SSD's are fast, but they are not instantaneous. Windows NTFS file system does not behave any differently because the underlying storage is an SSD vs. HDD and therefore fragmentation still occurs. Reducing the unnecessary I/O's by preventing and eradicating the fragmentation reduces the number of I/O requests and as a result speeds up application data response time and improve the overall lifespan of the SSD. In essence, this makes for more sequential I/O operations which is generally faster and outperforms random writes.
In addition, SSD's require that old data be erased before new data is written over it, rather than just writing over the old information as with HDDs. This doubles the wear and tear and can cause major issues with the speed performance and lifespan of the SSD. Most SSD manufactures have very sophisticated wear-leveling technologies to help with this. The principle issue is write speed degradation due to free space fragmentation. Small free spaces scattered across the SSD causes the NTFS file system to write a file in fragmented pieces to those small available free spaces. This has the effect of causing more random I/O traffic that is slower than sequential operations.
I think I have clearly made my point…. The built-in defragmenter in Windows 7 is not a solution for neither the consumer/home user, nor the enterprise business user. Data access speeds are far more critical in the business world where time is money. In the enterprise environment there are generally many more files that are used by higher number of users that are accessing data across shared type of storage such as SAN. Even virtual platforms benefit from the same points covered. This opens the door and is the reason why robust solutions such as Diskeeper exist.

Diskeeper 2010 RTM'ed (Release To Manufacturing) earlier this week, so we celebrated with cake; a Diskeeper cake in the image of the new DVD case that is.
Diskeeper has been one of our main implementation tools for any new Windows Server-based product. HBR Solutions has been using Diskeeper for nearly 8 years, and have found it to be a critical part of our system configurations.
Our clients understand the importance of highly efficient data access, and Diskeeper Corporation has always kept their promise on making sure that the drives are always set to peak performance. Whether we run the product under a NAS, SAN or DAS, Diskeeper has proved that it can manage any type of hardware design and configuration including virtual servers.
In the majority of our client's install base, Diskeeper has shown a substantial increase in performance once installed and configured on existing systems. The hardware is a mix of IBM Shark SAN, EMC, Dell (DAS and internal) and HP (internal).
As for the NAS, DAS an SAN results, our analysis pertains to clients who had the hardware in place and were looking at upgrading their hardware. However, once we installed and configured Diskeeper on those systems, we saw performance that went up to nearly 40% better on the same hardware platform.
We are very pleased with Diskeeper and will continue to the use their product on our future endeavors.

Rob Gronkowski has had a Hall of Fame career with the New England Patriots. In his career, Gronkowski has caught 474 passes for 7,179 yards and 76 touchdowns while winning two Super Bowls with the team. In terms of personal accolades, Gronkowski has been named a first-team All-Pro five times while making five Pro Bowl rosters.
Despite having a career that many players could only dream of, Gronkowski still holds a bit of a grudge over the Buffalo Bills passing on him in the 2010 NFL Draft.
"Sorry to them for that," Gronkowski said last season in regards to his dominance against Buffalo in his career. "But I mean, I don't know. It's cool when your hometown team passes on you twice in that draft and you kind of remember it still. So, no lie, I remember that every single time I play them."
Gronkowski, a Western New York native, has had a field day in his career against the Bills. In 13 games, the tight end has caught 66 passes for 1,027 yards and 12 touchdowns. Gronkowski has gone over 100 yards receiving in six matchups against the Bills and New England holds an 11-2 record against Buffalo in games that Gronkowski has suited up.
It appears that Gronkowski's ill will towards the Bills extends into the offseason. Barstool Sports shared a video of Gronkowski at a wedding on Friday night. In the video, a bridesmaid puts a Bills hat on the tight end. After briefing looking at the hat, Gronkowski took the cap and gave it his signature spike before busting a move on the dance floor.
