|Fortunately for the All-Blacks they are allowed to continue to perform the haka Ka Mate. This
is not such good news for Merpel, who had hoped they'd do this funky Kat Dance instead ...
For those readers who have not been privileged to keep their hands up in the air, the traditional dance performed by the All Blacks is a haka -- a traditional ancestral war cry or challenge by the Māori people in New Zealand, collectively performed though a display of vigorous hand movements, foot-stamping and aggressive chanting. The haka performed by the All Blacks is the 'Ka Mate'. This was composed by Te Rauparaha (c.1760 to 27 November 1849), a war leader of the Ngāti Toa tribe of the North Island, as a celebration of life over death after his lucky escape from his enemies.
So, apart from revealing her love of antipodean sport and/or choreographed performances, why is this Kat telling you about hakas?
Unfortunately, this Kat has not been able to get her paws on the Deed of Settlement, which the Office of Treaty Settlements promises to be available here. However, from the helpful discussions of local law firms Simpson Grierson and Baldwins, she understands that attribution is required for
- publishing haka Ka Mate for commercial purposes (such as for advertisements featuring the haka Ka Mate, but this would exclude official sponsor advertisements featuring the All Blacks performing the haka Ka Mate)
- communicating haka Ka Mate online
- the public showing of any film which contains the haka Ka Mate.
- public performances of the haka Ka Mate (thus performances by sporting teams such as the All Blacks will not be affected, but attribution will be required if that performance is broadcast commercially)
- use of the haka Ka Mate for educational purposes
- use of the haka Ka Mate for the purposes of criticism, review or reporting the news.
Says the IPKat, the prospect of rights of attribution being extended to authors of works long out of copyright is most appealing. He wonders whether the time has come for a public inquiry into one of the greatest attribution mysteries of the past millennium: who really wrote the works that were credited to William Shakespeare?
Merpel is just mesmerised by the words "haka Ka Mate", which are an anagram of "Make a Kat -- Ha!"

Calling a Baptist "Reformed" is like calling Presbyterians "Baptist" because they believe in believer's baptism. The Reformed churches do practice the baptism of unbaptized believers but they also baptize the infants of believers. No self-respecting, confessional Baptist should accept me as "Baptist" and Reformed folk should resist labeling anyone who rejects most of Reformed theology as "Reformed."
"But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God — and righteousness and sanctification and redemption — that, as it is written, 'He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.'"

Why I Call Myself a Reformed Baptist
18 comments:
Thank you for a very well written and thoughtful post. I too consider myself a Reformed Baptist, and largely for the very reasons you have mentioned.ReplyDelete
Very well written with good points. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I don't know how you feel about it, but I would like to see you get a broader audience.ReplyDelete
I linked them with my added comments on my blog:
I should have used the "create a link" thing but I'm too dense.
Thanks for your encouragement guys! I am always pleased when God uses this blog to be of some benefit to the body of Christ.ReplyDelete

Keith, excellent post. I agree with your balance and good sense. I'm concerned about the potential sectarian spirit Clark's restrictiveness may engender. Indeed, he goes too far when he asserts, "We would discipline someone if they left OURC and began attending a baptistic congregation or a sect.... I don't think that any congregation that denies the administration of baptism to covenant children can be a true church. I don't see how any baptistic congregation is practicing the "pure administration" of the sacraments." So he not only excludes Baptists from the Reformed community, but he removes us from the visible universal church altogether.ReplyDelete
Bob Gonzales
Thanks for the word of encouragement, Bob!ReplyDelete
Thanks also for shedding further light on the problem with Clark. I was unaware of the extreme nature of his position, and I am glad you have let the readers of this blog know about it in your comment.
By the way, I think your blog is the bomb!
For those who have read these comments and want to check out Bob Gonzales' excellent blog, you can read it here:ReplyDelete
I would definitely include Bob as one of the leaders of the Reformed Baptist movement. And he is certainly one of its best theologians and writers, as his blog demonstrates.
I'm grateful that you took time to answer, but I personally don't feel any need to answer Clark. He can say what he'd like, he isn't the owner of the term "Reformed" and only demonstrates a divisive spirit.ReplyDelete
I am a Reformed Baptist because there is a the Particular Baptists were heirs to the Reformation. We were just more thorough than our Presbyterian brothers.
Hi Keith - As you may recall, I'm Reformed Baptist and read your post. Great work. I'm study the issue of paedobaptism v believer's baptism and am understanding more where these brothers are coming from. This "labeling" issue has been going on for some time. I think of John Quincy Adams "Baptists Only Thoroughly Reformed". So in all fairness it's gone on from both sides. But your point is well made - it shouldn't go on at all. I think of Paul incredulously stating "Is Christ Divided?"ReplyDelete
Thanks for your post, Keith.ReplyDelete
I wonder if you could comment on the other 5 principles of the Reformation (TULIP) often called the 5 Canons of Dort)
By way of short explanation, I am in the continental reformed tradition, having emigrated from the Netherlands in 1980 to Canada. to rural New Brunswick. We were guest members of a small Baptist church for two years, then I moved to Ontario, and and am now a lay member of one of the Canadian Reformed Churches. My first introduction to the spectrum of Reformed Baptist thinking came from the late Dr. Bruce Stark. From him I understood that the notion of Reformed Baptist could include full agreement with the Canons of Dort. We really did have a tremendous amount of grace in common, and could rejoice in that since in practice the only difference between us was believer-only baptism. That experience has given me a great appreciation for both the Reformed Baptist people and their doctrines. I'd welcome your thoughts on this and the 5 Canons.
Personally I've remained convinced that God's covenant promises extend to believers and their children, and therefore hold on to infant baptism. I just don't like focussing exclusively on differences in personal dealings with folks. Hence I also long for the day when Christ gather all His to himself and we will all be 'one'.
It has been my experience that most who call themselves Reformed Baptists would say that this requires belief in at least all five points of Calvinism as well as adherence to Covenant Theology. This is certainly my perspective.
I hope this clarification helps.
Thanks, Keith!ReplyDelete
To all, I just updated the post to specify adherence to both Calvinist soteriology and Covenant Theology as intended in the use of the term Reformed Baptist. This was intended and thought to be implied in the third sense of the word reformed above, but this needed to be made more explicit.ReplyDelete
Hey Keith.ReplyDelete
Did you read my blog on the this subject?
I appreciate yours.
Actually, every time I have tried to read the article recently, I get a message telling me that I don't have sufficient privileges.Delete
I think there is less contention here in UK between Presbyterians and Baptists - we know we hold differing understandings about 'the covenant' and therefore who should be baptised, but I like your inference that, since the Reformation was ostensibly to bring the Church away from the corruption of Rome and back to Biblical principles and practices, paedobaptists cut their reformation short!ReplyDelete
Excellent article.ReplyDelete
I love when people clarify their positions and beliefs! Thanks for the article Keith!ReplyDeleteReplies

Source Repositories
All XWiki sources are stored in Git repositories on GitHub. XWiki is an OW2 project, but we're using GitHub to store our sources.
You can browse the source repositories and download/clone the sources by using GitHub. If you're looking for sources corresponding to a given XWiki version you'll need to switch to that version's branch in GitHub's UI.
Top Level Projects
XWiki is not a single product, but an ecosystem of top-level projects.
Here's the list of repositories (one repository per top level project) maintained by the XWiki Core Development Team (a.k.a Core XWiki Committers) and that you should see if you browse the Git repositories at https://github.com/xwiki :
|Git Repository name
|Technical libraries common to several other top level projects. Can be used by projects outside of the XWiki ecosystem; not related to the wiki domain.
|Rendering library to convert some input syntax into another output syntax. Can be used by projects outside of the XWiki ecosystem. Uses xwiki-commons.
|Reusable components/parts used by other top level projects, making up a wiki runtime. Uses xwiki-commons and xwiki-rendering. Also provide the default Distribution and the Standard Flavor.
|Various internal subprojects for improving the XWiki development experience (release scripts, helper to easily debug XWiki inside Eclipse, etc).
Contrib Projects
In addition to the Top Level Projects mentioned above (and for which only XWiki Core committers have the rights to commit to), we've also created an XWiki Contrib organization on GitHub where everyone could contribute easily to XWiki-related projects (If you're interested see the documentation for Contrib projects).
Note that GitHub offers free hosting for open source projects for every registered user, so you don't have to ask for access to the xwiki-contrib repositories if you just want to host your own code. That said we would love for you to put your project on xwiki-contrib since it makes it easy for users/developers to find XWiki-related projects under a single location (it also makes better advertising for your own project). By using xwiki-contrib you also gain a wiki and a JIRA project if you want to (among other tools).
Finally abandonned project are moved to the xwiki-attic organization.
Project Structure
XWiki Commons Structure
|Directory name
|The top level Maven build descriptor (a.k.a POM). It's referenced by all other build modules.
|Commons libraries (JARs)
|Build tools used to build other commons modules.
XWiki Rendering Structure
See the Rendering Project.
XWiki Platform Structure
|Directory name
|All core modules (JARs, skins, extensions, Web, etc)
|Build tools and various other misc. tools.
|Distributed packages (WAR, installers, Standard Flavor, etc)
Getting Sources
Go to GitHub, select the repository you wish to get and follow the GitHub instructions.
Then build the sources.
Alternatively, locate the XWiki artifact for which you wish to get the sources of in our Maven Repository and download the associated source JAR. For example to get the sources for the "XWiki Commons Component API" module, get the JAR file ending with -sources here.
Branches and Tags
Check our Versioning and Release practices.
Originally the sources were put on SourceForge in CVS in 2003. They were then moved to a Subversion instance and are now in git on GitHub.
Some details:
- An old archived version when the sources were in SVN can be accessed through WebArchive.
- To get the first commit of XWiki, checkout xwiki-platform and issue: git rev-list --max-parents=0 --tags --branches --reverse | head -1 | xargs git log
(another less good way: git log --reverse XWIKI_0_1_10

The Senate returned to the Capitol this month after a turbulent 2012. In the areas our citizens look to us to address—boosting economic growth and job creation, building a foundation for long-term competitiveness, protecting our environment and our national security—we overcame some major challenges and made some progress in 2012, but delayed many of the tough decisions until 2013.
We ended the year with a debate over the "fiscal cliff," and while we avoided the potential economic catastrophe of going over the cliff on Dec. 31, we only temporarily delayed draconian automatic spending cuts that will kick in early this year if we can't reach another agreement to avoid them.
One way we can bring down the deficit while avoiding those damaging cuts is to close some egregious corporate tax loopholes.
Over the last year, I've fought for changes to bring down the deficit and make the tax code fairer. For example, we should end the tax loopholes and accounting gimmicks that allow companies to give lucrative stock options to executives and stick Uncle Sam with the tab; that allow companies to avoid taxes by shifting U.S. income to offshore shell corporations; that subsidize companies for moving U.S. jobs offshore; and that allow hedge fund managers to pay a lower tax rate than their staff.
Revenue from closing those loopholes will help us preserve programs that support the aspirations of average families. For example, Congress acted over the summer to avoid a doubling of student-loan rates that would have put college – already a financial strain for most families – even further out of reach. We beat back attempts to reduce the budgets for education, research into groundbreaking technology and life-saving medical treatments. We must continue to fight to preserve these important investments in our people and their future.
Of course, for us in Michigan, the continuing renaissance of the domestic auto industry has been vital. Growing auto sales and employment continue to demonstrate the wisdom of the federal investments in preserving this backbone of American manufacturing. Just as important as what's happening on factory floors today is how we're preparing for long-term competitiveness. We need to make sure we build the cars of tomorrow as well as those of today.
The announcement in December that several of our state's companies and educational institutions will participate in a federal research consortium developing next-generation vehicle batteries means good jobs for our people now and in the future. And the continued growth of clean energy technologies–not just as sources for energy, but as a growing business for our companies—underlines the strong steps taken by our entrepreneurs, often with federal support, to build for the future.
As chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I know how important a strong and innovative industrial base is to our defense. The Defense Authorization Act we passed at the end of the year draws on Michigan's manufacturing, engineering and technological prowess in a host of ways. And in November, my wife, Barbara, and I attended the keel-laying ceremony for the USS Detroit, one of a new class of Navy vessels built to counter the security threats of the coming decades. Hundreds of Michigan workers will help build the USS Detroit and sister ships at a shipyard in Marinette, Wis., just across the state line from Menominee.
That is just the latest chapter in Michigan's maritime heritage, a heritage inextricably linked to the Great Lakes. In 2012, Congress passed legislation I pushed for that could help improve harbor maintenance. The Senate passed a bill I authored to protect thousands of acres of wilderness at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, and though the House did not pass this bill, I'm hopeful we'll succeed in this Congress. And as co-chair of the Senate Great Lakes Task Force, I helped lead bipartisan efforts to ensure adequate funding for Great Lakes preservation and restoration, including programs to protect against invasive species such as Asian carp.
I just returned from a trip to Afghanistan and Pakistan, looking ahead to an important year for our policy in that region. Spending time with the brave men and women of our military is always inspiring. We are on schedule to hand over security responsibility for all of Afghanistan to that nation's security forces. Serious challenges remain, most notably in helping develop Afghan government institutions that are effective and free of corruption.
We face no shortage of challenges entering 2013. I'm optimistic we can meet them. The people we serve expect and deserve it, and our nation's future demands it.
Carl Levin is the senior U.S. senator from Michigan.

Model and actress Natalia Vodianova has given birth to her fourth child.
The Russian beauty delivered son Maxim on 2 May (14). He is her fourth child and her first with boyfriend Antoine Arnault, Ceo of footwear maker Berluti.
Vodianova announced the news by sharing a picture on Instagram.com showing her newborn's lower half lying on a visitor's lap in hospital.
The model writes, "Last night at 2.45am was born our baby boy Maxim. Living up to the definition of his name, he was born an incredible 4.2kg (9lbs 3oz) and 55cm (21 inches). The baby and I are doing beautifully well, to the delight of the proud daddy. Thank you for all your good wishes, I would now like to pass them on to all women who are still expecting. Enjoy every minute of it."
Vodianova has three children with estranged husband Justin Portman, from whom she split in 2011.

Brooks-Range Mountaineering Equipment Propel Tent
This ultralight and stable three-person tent offers space and a quick setup.
Brand: Brooks-Range Mountaineering Equipment
Model: Propel Tent
[stable featherweight]
We don't know why this three-pound tent is called the Kilo. No matter. Here's the math that counts: one pound per person for a three-person shelter. And unlike some ultralights, which employ futzy trekking-pole setups or wispy fabrics, this three-season dome achieves its low weight by using innovative carbon-fiber poles with connectors that use short monofilament tethers rather than one long piece of elastic cord. Ergo, best-in-weight-class stability.
Pitching the Kilo takes two minutes, and even without guying, it withstood 30-mph gusts in the Sierra. Headroom is adequate, with a 40-inch peak height that lets campers play cards without crouching, but the 43-square-foot floor was a snug fit for three thru-hikers on the John Muir Trail.
Downsides: The 4.5-square-foot vestibule shelters little more than three pairs of boots. Condensation dampened testers' bags with just two campers inside, and in rainy conditions, the fly sagged onto the mesh, further compromising airflow. (Update: Easton says Velcro attachment loops have been added to the inside of the fly to improve stability and reduce sag. We didn't test the new version.) $499; 3 lbs.; eastonmountainproducts.comBased on the successful Rocket Tent, the Propel has the same aerodynamic design but is made with a lightweight nylon silicone material, instead of the reflective CT3 material found in the Rocket Tent. The Propel has a single wall construction and spine pole system and multiple ceiling vents reduce condensation.

Nothing classic at all about moleskin trousers worn *with* cuffs. Those are traditionally worn without cuffs. It's not like say chinos where you find plenty of personal preference. If I saw someone wearing moleskins with cuffs, I'd presume they don't know what they're doing.ReplyDelete
Anon @4:55- Heavy weight fabrics look great with a cuff and help anchor the pants (aids in the drape). The fabric was originally utilized by hunters and gamesmen who also cuffed their pants frequently. I guess we have different definitions of the word "classic".ReplyDelete
Why would a brand with serious English heritage ,such as Cordings, offer cuffs on their moleskin trousers if it is as blasphemous as you claim? I trust them more than you or I to be completely honest.

Unmute Your Timeline with the New SoundCloud Facebook Integration
It's a new year and it's time to go beyond listening & playing, and get more social by sharing sounds and interactions on SoundCloud to Facebook! Back in September at the Facebook F8 launch, we were announced as an integration partner, and here are the results. Starting today, you'll be able to share your SoundCloud activity and interactions to Facebook more easily, putting more sound into your Timeline!
In addition to showcasing your newly uploaded sounds and favorites on SoundCloud, you will now be able to share:
- the cool SoundClouders you started following
- the engaging groups you joined
- and the sweet sounds you listened to while cruising the community
It's totally up to you to enable the additional actions, but if you do, there will be a recap of your activity on SoundCloud in your Facebook Timeline each month.
You'll have the option to connect and disconnect anything at any time at the following link as well.
- If you enabled sharing sounds you listened to on SoundCloud to Facebook, all sounds you listen to will be posted to the Facebook Ticker, no matter where you're listening on the web. So that means: if you listen on the iPhone, iPad, Android app, mobile site, and/or via an embedded widget while logged into SoundCloud, these sounds will be shared to the Facebook Ticker and recapped in your Timeline.
- If you have your Facebook account connected to SoundCloud, by default your newly uploaded sounds and favorites will be posted to Facebook. You can turn this off here if you wish.
That's it for now, folks! If you have additional questions about this, please check the FAQs that appear at the top of this page. In the meantime, dig into the SoundCloud Facebook app and go beyond listening & playing by sharing your 'Cloud interactions with your friends and unmute your Timeline!

I somehow missed this last week, but Steve Bink has published an interesting interview with Microsoft senior vice president Bob Muglia...
First of all I asked the obvious question about Hyper-V, if he would be more detailed on the release date than "after 180 days of the release of Windows Server 2008"
We talked about Vmware ESX and its features like shared memory between VMs, "we definitely need to put that in our product" later he said it will be in the next release. Like hot add memory, disk and nic's will be and Live migration of course, which didn't make it in this release.
He also stated that Microsoft was surprised how well Hyper-V performed for a first release product, compared to Vmware.
Hyper-V R2 will also support the virtualization hardware (CPU's)
When can we expect WS08 R2? -2010 and it will be only x64, some stats from the server 2008 beta, over 60% installations were 64bit.

The Corvidologist
Words by Jack Gobsmob
Designed by Shaven Raven Designs
Corvidae is the scientific term for a group of birds that includes ravens, crows, magpies, and a few others, but this zine is mostly bout ravens. Everybody loves ravens! Hurray!
There's information about ravens from a broad range of areas. We find out where they live, what they eat, how (we think) their brains work, the results of scientific experiments, and other interesting facts.
There's also a diagram of a raven, some nicer artwork featuring ravens (I wish my zines had covers as nice as this one, click to see it bigger!), and a story about ravens from the mythology of the Chukchi people of north-east Russia. This was totally my favourite part because despite believing that a raven created the world, they hate ravens! They constantly complain that the world is terrible, that there are too many mountains, that the rivers run to fast and other things. That's amazing!
I've also, thanks to the magic of the internet, discovered that the Chukchi people are the butt of many Russian jokes. What a weird world we live in.

The Susegad Beaches of Bardez, Goa...!!
1. Vagator beach
There are many beaches in Goa that spreads out below a cliff. Vagator beach falls into this geographical category. With sparsely spread out rocks jutting from the sands and tiny green hills surrounding it, the beach in Vagator showcases a gorgeous landscape. It also has close proximity to Chapora fort from where one can have an aerial view of the beach across the green canopy. River Chapora disgorges itself into the Arabian sea next to Vagator beach. The beach is not over crowded most of the time and with few cafes and restaurants, the beach is well recommended. There ae three beaches here namely- north Vagator beach, Ozrant beach and middle Vgator beach. When on top of the cliff, the beach to your right is north Vagator beach and to your left is Ozrant beach.
2. Anjuna beach
The beach at Anjuna has a rocky front and is also below a laterite cliff. The reddish cliff, brown rocks, azure waters and green trees form a beautiful frame. The slippery rocks are not quite inviting but the vistas from the top of the cliff are spectacular. The waves thrashing on to those rocks is indeed a beautiful sight. Anjuna has been known for its flea markets for ages. There is also a small colourful flea market on top of the cliff along with a lot of cafes and restaurants facing the beach front. Anjuna is also supposedly well known for its hippie culture.
3. Baga beach
Apart from being one of the most prominent beaches in the whole of Goa, Baga beach is also a popular one with travellers and tourists. The golden sands of this long beach look beautiful when the sun blazes over them and with numerous cafes on the sidelines, the beach is definitely an inviting one. There is no shortage of action on Baga beach with vendors selling from anything to everything, acrobatic children, water sports and crowded shacks. As the sun sets, the ambiance turns into a party mode. If you find it tough to get a table inside one of those cafes, there are beach umbrellas and tables outside to make it a memorable evening. Gulp a beer right on the beach! For trek lovers there is a narrow path across the Baga hill that takes you to the southern part of Anjuna beach.
4. Calangute beach
Calangute beach is definitely one of the most frequented beaches in Goa and people from across the country head here. You are sure to rub shoulders with a Kanyakumari fisherman, smile at a Ladhaki monk or even click a photo for a Mumbai dweller. There is also no dearth for foreign travellers and locals on the most famous beach of Goa. There are numerous water sports activities and beach shacks on the beach to keep the visitors busy. The road that leads to the beach from the Calangute- Baga road is filled with numerous eateries and shops. From where the road ends it is a nice little walk over the brown sands to reach the tides. It can get quite hot and humid during the day and the blazing sun is not going to help either. It is best advised to visit Calangute beach in the morning or evening.
5. Candolim beach
This is one of the quieter beaches of the region. The wide swathe of openness makes the beach look surreal. The beach which is to the south of Calangute beach is definitely recommended for visitors who love serenity. The blend of golden sands and blue waters is an enchanting sight. There are very few shacks and cafes on the beach and this is one reason for it to remain less crowded. Most of the shacks on the beach remain closed during off season.
6. Sinquerim beach
This beach has gained prominence after the Taj resort came up facing it. One of the bastions of Fort Aguada also extends in to the Arabian sea next to it. The beach is devoid of crowd and with swaying coconut trees and azure waters, it looks quite similar to one of those beautiful tropical islands. One can get a magnificent panoramic view of Sinquerim beach from the bastion of Aguada
There are also a few less explored beaches in Bardez like Coco beach and Chapora beach that can be equally enchanting and encapsulating.
Signing Note- These spectacular beaches truly emblazon Goa...!!

Russian physician and author; born at Poltava 1835; died at Samara 1896. After studying medicine at the universities of Kharkov and Kiev, he served for a time as army surgeon. He then settled in the government of Perm, where, however, he was not permitted to practise medicine. Portugalov therefore sought occupation in the field of literature. His first article ("Shadrinsk i Cherdyn") was published in the "Arkhiv Sudebnoi Meditziny"; his next contributions were to the "Dyelo" and "Nedyelya," mainly on hygienic subjects. At last an opportunity came to him to take up the practise of medicine; he was appointed city physician at Krasnoufimsk, in the government of Perm, thereafter becoming successively sanitary supervisor of two mining districts in the Ural Mountains and district physician (1870-1880) of Kamyshlova, Samara, etc. Portugalov devoted much of his time to philanthropic work, maintaining an especially active campaign against drunkenness. In his last years he expressed his sympathy with the New Israel movement then developing in Russia.
Portugalov's works include: "Voprosy Obshchestvennoi Gigiyeny" (1874); "Yevrei Reformatory" (St. Petersburg, 1882): "Znamenatelnyya Dwizhenniya v Yevreistvye" (ib. 1884).

HIV Technical Cooperation Group
The HIV Technical Cooperation Group (TCG) was formed as a pragmatic 'think tank' where thought leaders and practitioners exchange ideas, share best practices and catalyze innovation to build capacity in Public Health for HIV prevention and care.
Its goal is to make all TCG events highly-interactive working-group sessions that focus on pragmatic approaches to infrastructure issues in HIV public health.
The Northwest Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit seeks to reduce environmental health risks to children by providing training for health professionals, communities and families through consultation, educational activities, and referrals.
The PEHSU is a North American network of experts dedicated to providing expertise and training for health professionals, trainees and the public on environmentally related health effects in children.
PEHSU faculty are academically based at university hospitals and include pediatricians, toxicologists, exposure scientists and others.
Global Center for Integrated Health of Women, Adolescents and Children was created to break down the traditional silos between departments and capitalize on the benefits created when multiple disciplines approach a topic with the same end goal in mind. Maternal health expertise from the Department of Obstetrics/Gynecology, neonatal and child health expertise from the Department of Pediatrics, and vast experience working in infectious disease, health evaluation, education, clinical research, and service delivery within the Department of Global Health all combine to create a methodology that views women, children, and adolescents not as three independent populations but as interconnected.
Suzinne Pak-Gorstein MD, MPH, PhD is Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics; Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Global Health; Co-Director of the Nutrition Think Tank for the Global Center for Integrated Health of Women, Adolescents and Children (WACh-NTT); and Co-Director of the Resident Education and Advocacy for Global Child Health-Kenya program (REACH-Kenya Pathway).
As a clinician-educator, Suzinne trains pediatric residents and graduate students, and is a course instructor and lecturer for UW undergraduate courses on the topics of global public health and global nutrition/food systems. Her main research and service interest is the provision of culturally sensitive and high-quality care for refugee children in the US with a focus on obesity, undernutrition, and caring for medically complex refugee children. She also has interests in program monitoring and evaluation in low-income country settings and has been involved with nutrition surveillance systems, national surveys, and establishment of health information systems in several countries including Indonesia, Laos, Nepal, and Bangladesh.
Suzinne is the Co-Chair of the Academic Pediatric Association's Global Health Special Interest Group, liaison to the Coalition of Centres in Global Child Health (CCGCH), and active member of the American Academy of Pediatric's Section on International Child Health. Suzinne participated in the design and implementation of the UW Pediatric Residency Global Health Pathway Program which is a bilateral exchange program that trains pediatric residents from Seattle and Nairobi to integrate population health concepts and approaches into pediatric service through community health assessments, advocacy, and stakeholder engagement. The Global Health Pathways program (now named REACH-Kenya) was bestowed the 2014 Academic Pediatric Association Teaching Program Award.
Over the past 30 years, children in the United States have become gradually less active, less able to do physical activities, and less healthy. Inactive lifestyles are taking away the capacity of children and adolescents to function and develop normally and to achieve peak health.
UW Medicine's Sports Health and Safety Institute (SHSI) is an international education, advocacy and research organization devoted to helping people pursue an active lifestyle while providing tools to keep them safe and speed healing after illness or injury.
Founded in 2015, SHSI focuses on three core activities:
- Education. Safe sports, good health decisions, excellent care and informed policy begin with education. The Institute's educational materials are freely available to parents, athletes, coaches and medical professionals.
- Advocacy. SHSI pursues policies and supports legislation that advance sports safety and health.
- Research. SHSI collaborates with researchers to identify best practices for effective public health education, to change behaviors and make sports safer, and to advance knowledge about sports-related concussion.
Our core works on social, behavioral and public health related research supporting HIV prevention and care.
The specific aims of the Sociobehavioral and Prevention Research Core are to support:
HIV Prevention Research, including technical assistance to CFAR investigators, organizing forums for interdisciplinary research community development, expanding our substantive expertise to include addictions, substance use, and mental health research.
Local Community Outreach, including working with CFAR's Community Action Board to pursue community-based research priorities and translational opportunities, taking advantage of our institutional ties to Seattle & King County Public Health to stimulate collaborative research projects and evidence-based policy development.
International Community Outreach, including working with the International Core to identify collaborative research and translational opportunities with the new University of Nairobi Center for HIV Prevention and Research (UNCHIVPR) on translational research for HIV prevention. Integrating social, behavioral, and clinical science is increasingly necessary for progress in controlling HIV, and the Sociobehavioral and Prevention Research Core works to assure this synergy by providing support to behavioral, clinical, and social scientists in their research.
Assessment of health and quality of life of vulnerable populations including people with disabilities. Tracking of US national health goals with years of healthy life indicator.
Dr. Beverly Green is a family physician and associate investigator at Group Health and Group Health Research Institute. Her areas of interest include population based screening within organized health care and safety net settings, improving the care of chronic conditions such as hypertension, and leveraging technology to optimize the reach and effectiveness of evidence-based health care. She is also a Clinical Associate Professor in the University of Washington Medical School Department of Family Medicine.
My main career focus has been on program implementation. I'm currently the PI for a PCORI-funded comparative effectiveness study involving low-income people with asthma between the ages of 5 and 75y, who are patients at either NeighborCare Health or Health Point. We are testing two interventions: a Community Health Worker who visits the patient's home, and an enhanced clinic intervention. Most of this work is accomplished at King Country Health Department.
We're using this project as pilot work to prepare a large (six-year) U01 proposal to NIH to test an integrated community-based pediatric asthma intervention to reduce disparities in health outcomes. If funded, the project would be run primarily through the King and Pierce County Heath Departments.
I'm also the site PI of a large international implementation study funded by the European Commission, called Fresh Air 2020. http://www.theipcrg.org/freshair. UW is one of 14 funded centers around the world. The four target countries are Uganda, Kyrgyzstan, Greece, and Vietnam. In each of these developing countries, we are working to implement a variety of evidence based strategies to improve respiratory health (further detailed on website). I lead delivery of an online training and feedback program known as Spirometry 360, and the overall Implementation Science effort.
Since 2009, our evidence-based, 5-month online Spirometry 360 program has been delivered to over 300 primary care sites around the country, as well as to clinical sites in Australia, Holland Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, and Kenya, in addition to the countries mentioned in the FA 2020 project above.
The mission of the DeRouen Center, established in 2017, is to promote collaboration and inclusivity in scientific and clinical research that impacts global oral health. Through dedicated teamwork, our center promotes worldwide oral health. We are strategically targeting our efforts to four geographical areas with sites where we have been successfully working: Southeast Asia (with Thailand as our lead site), Africa (with Kenya as our lead site), South America (with Peru as the lead), and Seattle.
Thailand: For over 25 years, the School of Dentistry, University of Washington (UW), has collaborated with Khon Kaen and Thammasat Universities to conduct The Fogarty International Center Training Program in Clinical, Public Health and Behavioral Oral Health Research for Thailand. Through comprehensive workshops and Summer Institutes in Clinical Dental Research Methods, participants received education and training in biostatistics, clinical epidemiology and study design, behavioral research methods, data analysis, clinical trials, grantsmanship, research ethics, and research proposal development. A selected subset of participants completed a two-year long program requiring one year of coursework at UW (which applied towards a Ph.D. program at their home institution) implementation of a research study, Ph.D. dissertation defense, and article publication. Founded in 2002, the revolutionary program has brought Thailand to the international forefront of oral health research.
Kenya: The Universities of Washington and Nairobi have a more than 25-year partnership in maternal-child HIV research. In 2015, we established a new working group focused on improving oral health in HIV-infected and HIV-exposed non-infected children. This collaborative effort is nested within the NIH funded Kenyan Pediatric Studies (KPS) and the study team consists of specialists in molecular epidemiology, pediatrics, dentistry, integration and implementation sciences, epidemiology and neurocognitive science. We initiated our work in 2015 with parents' assessment of oral manifestations of HIV among the KPS cohorts. In January 2016, with the support of a UW Global Innovation Award, Dr. Seminario conducted training and calibration of dental community health officers and medical providers in the diagnosis of oral manifestations of HIV in Nairobi. Currently, Dr. Seminario has been awarded the 2017 UW SunStar Preventive Dentistry Award to investigate correlations between oral inflammation with general inflammation among these children. In addition, we have expanded our collaboration to Nigeria and were awarded by the International Association for Dental Research (IADR) Regional Development Program for the development of a regional site in Africa targeting the impact of HIV on the oral health of children and adolescents.
Peru: Since 2014, we have had two supplemental NIH (from Fogarty International Center) grants that allowed the development of two 5-day workshops in clinical dental research methods. Approximately seventy junior dental faculty participated in these trainings including attendees from various geographical areas within Peru as well as from other Latin American countries (Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela and Brazil). Participants were from various specialties, including: orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, endodontics, implantology, community dentistry, special care needs, esthetics, prosthodontics, and periodontics. Workshop topics included general scientific principles in planning and carrying out clinical research projects; levels of evidence in evidence-based clinical research; study designs, their applications, and the levels of evidence they produce; principles in the design and conduct of randomized clinical trials; statistical concepts and principles in testing hypotheses and evaluating evidence from clinical studies; basic behavioral models and principles in clinical dental research; ethical issues in the conduct of research on human subjects; and grantsmanship. Currently, we are partnering with our colleagues in Landscape Architecture and in Environment Health to assess the impact of environment interventions on oral and gut microbiome in a floating community on the Amazon River, in Iquitos, Peru.
Seattle: We are partnering with the SeaMar Community Clinics to improve the quality of life of refugees coming to Seattle for resettlement. The goal of this collaboration is to increase dental utilization by children from refugee families as Medicaid fully covers any pediatric oral health need including treatment under general anesthesia and these families are Medicaid enrolled soon after they arrive to our country. Through this program, we will be researching the impact of oral health on children's growth and quality of life.
Prof Cox is one of the lead investigators in an International Consortium put together with the aim of identifying the genetic basis of cleft lip/palate. Patients, and particularly families with multiple affected individuals, have been collected from the US, Australia, Netherlands, Colombia and the Philippines.
The project, currently supported by federal funding from Australia, has been conducting exome and whole-genome sequencing. New candidate genes are being assessed in Prof Cox's laboratory through functional studies involving a combination of in vitro assays and mouse models.
Additional research in the Cox lab is focused on the molecular and developmental mechanisms causing facial clefts, the role of diet in mitigating the severity of presentation, and the role of 'cleft' genes in other dental phenotypes commonly seen in patients. We are interested in partnering with other clinicians and basic researchers with interests in clinical outcomes in the management of individuals with clefts or other craniofacial malformations, genetic testing, or basic epithelial biology.
Dr. McKinney received her doctorate in epidemiology from the University of Washington in 2006. Her research interests are focused on craniofacial, oral, and nutritional health in young children. She is based in the Division of Craniofacial Medicine in the Department of Pediatrics at the UW School of Medicine.
Dr. McKinney currently studies the unique intersection of oral clefts, maternal breast milk expression, infant feeding and global health. She spearheaded the development of the NIFTY cup – an infant feeding cup for infants with breastfeeding difficulties such as infants with oral clefts and preterm infants in low resource settings – with a team of multidisciplinary experts from Seattle Childrens, PATH, the University of Washington and Laerdal Global Health. Her global research collaborations involve partners in Thailand, India and Ghana.
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) is an independent global health research center at the University of Washington that provides rigorous and comparable measurement of the world's most important health problems and evaluates the strategies used to address them.
IHME makes this information freely available so that policymakers have the evidence they need to make informed decisions about how to allocate resources to best improve population health.
Assistant Professor based at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, focusing on a variety of population health topics, including Neglected Tropical Diseases, Vector-borne, Zoonotoc and potentially pandemic pathogens
The Center for Cardiovascular Biology is dedicated to discovering the molecular basis of cardiovascular disease, harnessing this information to develop new therapies, and training the next generation of cardiovascular physicians and scientists.
The University and its affiliated institutions, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and Seattle Children's Hospital, are widely regarded as leaders among the premiere biomedical research institutions in the world, with great strengths in the constellation of areas crucial for success in stem cell research and regenerative medicine.
Their strategy is to bring these interdisciplinary strengths together, and to leverage their basic research to develop therapies. ISCRM integrates diverse scientific and clinical disciplines.
Sarah Elwood and Victoria Lawson are collaborating on relational poverty research and teaching. Social science research on impoverishment, equity and well-being recognizes that questions of health can never be separated from questions about social, political and economic context. Our work understands poverty as more than just an economic marker and population as more than demographic categories. Instead, our work and members of the Relational Poverty Network analyze poverty as constituted by interlocking processes including socio-economic processes around the globe, cultural politics of representation, processes of racialization, gender, nationality and ability and processes of governing, norming – of making 'common sense'.
Our own recent research focuses on poverty politics, as crucial to understanding population equity and questions of well-being/health. Poverty politics entail projects of government that identify problems, justify interventions, and inaugurate solutions that stabilize dominant forms of economic and political power AND politics that refuse existing orders of social (de)valuation (that rely on the categorization, exclusion, repression and criminalization of difference) through practices of illiberal embodiment and disidentification which rehumanize people outside of racial capitalist orders. We also study alliances across difference as potential sites for advancing unprecedented and creative challenges to impoverishment might emerge from solidarities across race, class, gender, ability, sexuality, and other axes of difference. A third strand of our work addresses epistemologies and methodologies of studying poverty. Our work begins from an epistemology of poverty that integrates multiple causal processes as they interrelate differentially across time and space. Our approach builds bridges between policymakers, researchers, and communities to build innovative concepts for poverty research.
AIMS (Advancing Integrated Mental Health Solutions) Center faculty and staff at the University of Washington have worked for over 20 years to develop, test and implement an approach called Collaborative Care to treat the large numbers of people suffering unnecessarily from mental illness. Collaborative Care is an integrated care model that brings high quality mental health care to primary care clinics and other familiar settings. Its strength lies in treating persistent mental health conditions like depression and anxiety that require systematic follow-up for patients to get better.
We conduct research on interventions to promote nurturing early parent child relationships in families with infants birth to five that are living in adverse circumstances. Families may be experiencing adult mental health and substance use, poverty, immigration and refuge status, and/or child maltreatment and neglect.
The de Tornyay Center serves as a catalyst for promoting healthy aging through its support of research and education in the field of gerontology.
The Center is committed to advancing and sharing knowledge about successful aging and ways professionals and systems can promote optimal experiences for older adults. Developing competent and compassionate healthcare providers is critically important.
The Center is a resource for faculty involved in teaching gerontology, for students interested in older adults, and for practicing professionals seeking continuing education and collaborative initiatives. Specifically, the Center promotes the development of researchers from undergraduate nursing students through senior nursing faculty by creating opportunities for researchers to exchange ideas, funding projects, and sharing research findings through seminars and presentations.
Nursing faculty affiliated with the de Tornyay Center for Healthy Aging come from several health sciences fields and conduct research ranging from basic research to clinical inquiry and systems research. Studies are conducted in a variety of settings, including both communities and organizations. Some examples of research topics include:
- Cognitive aging
- Dementia and dementia caregivers
- Frailty
- Menopause
- Palliative care
- Physical activity
- Technology and older adults
The Center is committed to improving the lives of older adults locally and globally. We partner with community organizations to host conferences, informational seminars, events, discussions, and more. Our faculty are members of local and national associations and research centers and often are featured speakers or guest lecturers.
The Center for Innovation in Sleep Self-Management is aimed at developing, testing and implementing self-management interventions to help adults and children with chronic illnesses sleep better and improve their health.
The center will leverage self-monitoring technologies, such as smart home sensors that track noise, light and temperature; mobile applications that measure dietary, exercise and caffeine intake; and wrist monitors that measure sleep-wake activity and light levels. These tools will allow patients to monitor their sleep behavior, set goals and receive feedback on adopting healthy behaviors.
The Occupational Epidemiology and Health Outcomes Program uses workers' compensation data and its own research to improve medical care, update treatment guidelines, and provide information on treatment outcomes to injured workers, employers, and physicians.
The Northwest Center for Occupational Health and Safety (NWCOHS) is a multi-component training program dedicated to prevention of work-related injury and illness in the four federal Region X states of Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington by providing academic training for professional workforce needs and professional education and research services to employers, workers, and health and safety professionals.
Since 1977, the NWCOHS has been funded as a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Education and Research Center (ERC), the only one in the region.
The Pacific Northwest Agricultural Safety and Health Center conducts research and promotes best health and safety practices for Northwest producers and workers in farming, fishing and forestry.
Affiliated with the UW School of Public Health, PNASH integrates expertise from multiple disciplines, institutions and community partners. Areas of emphasis include new production technologies and the needs of under-served and vulnerable populations.
The University of Washington's DISCOVER (Disease Investigation through Specialized Clinically Oriented Ventures in Environmental Research) Center studies the mechanistic relationship between cardiovascular disease and traffic related air pollution.
The study is composed of five closely linked projects that explore this relationship through a diverse set of research approaches. Our ultimate mission is to transfer the findings of the center rapidly into the development of improved clinical and public health practice
The UW School of Nursing Center for Global Health Nursing works to promote nursing research and training to build capacity for appropriate and sustainable improvements in health and healthcare. It aims to do this through innovative nursing science, across differing cultural contexts, both locally and abroad.
The center harnesses the existing expertise, experience, and enthusiasm of the UW School of Nursing faculty and students in partnership with local, national and global nursing organizations and academic institutions.

< Features
Use GUID Partition Tables as much as possible
The goal is to make Fedora use GPTs (GUID Partition Tables) as much as possible. GPTs are a new type of partition table that improve the old MBR-partitions tables. They support Partitions bigger than 2TB, filesystem independent UUIDs and partition labels and feature checksums for the partition table.
- Name:
- email:
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 14
- Last updated: 2010-03-19
- Percentage of completion: 1%
Detailed Description
Benefit to Fedora
How To Test
Try to install Fedora using Live images and DVD install with:
- Empty disks
- Disks containing MBR style partitions
- Disks containing GPT style partitions
- Booting from GPT style partitions with as much different BIOSes as possible
- Using GPT style partitions with other OSes
User Experience
- Anaconda
- Anaconda needs to be able to write and read GPTs.
- Grub needs to be able to boot from GPT-style partitions. This is probably already possible.
- Other OSs
- Windows XP and earlier does not support booting from hard disks using only GPTs. This might be handled using gptsync which allows to use both GPTs and MBR partitions at once. But it should not be the default case.
- BIOS support
- This might cause issues with old BIOSes. This needs to be investigated. Maybe it is enough to just mark all protective MBRs as active.
- Marking the protecive MBR partition active violates the UEFI 2.3 specification according to gdisk upstream
gptsync is a command-line tool to synchronize the GPT with a legacy MBR. gptsync is bundled in the rEFIt upstream project. In Fedora gptsync is currently bundled with Anaconda. Debian has forked gptsync by including a very useful set of patches which fix build issues and add command-line options. It would be good to unify gptsync and provide it as a separate package.
Contingency Plan
Use MBR style partitions for another release and fix stuff for the next one.

"I think therefore I am Uncle Charlie"
You may have more in common with your children and grandchildren than you think. In the BBC News article, Searching for the soul of cyberspace, writer Paul Mason explores the link between genealogy research and virtual reality games. Both, it seems, have the uncanny ability of psychologically transporting people into a time and place removed from the present and generating a strong emotional attachment to their subjects (or characters, as the case may be). Now, suspend all arguments between the reality of "family" and the "unreality" of virtual reality. The comparison is an intriguing concept, which embraced, could generate greater tolerance and understanding across the generations. And goes to show, once again, that we are more alike than we are different.

Is the tornado factor for these rigs?
From the heart of trailer country,
Jessica (who had every class her freshman year of high-school in a trailer, except PE)
Are prefabbed homes the wave of the future? Judging from some of the magazines that I receive (Sunset, Metropolitan Home), it sure looks like things are heading in that direction. I stumbled across an ad for Modern Cabana, a company that makes an environmentally smart answer to that toolshed that your Uncle Jim used to use as his home office because Aunt Arlene wouldn't let him have the garage. Seeing this stylish little structure got me thinking about all the prefab designs that I've been leafing through over the past couple of years.
Prefabbed homes are great for a number of reasons: they are easy to put together. They have a lower cost per square foot than most built homes, even tract housing. They are increasingly environmentally friendly, using low VOC-emitting and sustainable and/or recycled materials.
I was reading about the cost per square foot for some of the prefabbed homes - even with all the fixins, most homes come in at under $200 per square foot, and most of them at much less than that. Of course, you have to add the cost of land and a foundation to that, but even at $300 per square foot, that still about $100 psf cheaper than anything in the Seattle or Bellevue areas.
Modular housing comes in all shapes and sizes. The Katrina cottages that were such a media sensation following the flooding in New Orleans and Missouri in 2006 have proven that good things come in really teeny packages.
Tree Hugger has done a nice job reviewing a number of ecologically sound, modular homes. Click to read about the Flatpak House, Glide House, and NowHouse.
This very excellent site contains links to just about every modern prefab housing company out there.
I'm particularly fond of the tour that you can view on the Living Homes website, narrated by the CEO, who is either quite charming, or has a great speech writer (warning: audible tour begins immediately).
I've seen the Loft Cube in a number of magazines before, and it totally feeds my desire to live on the very top of a tall building.
I'm not sure if these homes will take off in America - are they the answer to the McMansion, or is prefab simply another version of the fast-and-easy experience that we've come to expect from life?

Even prefab homes start at a quarter million where we live! Time to leave this county, and maybe even the state!
The Katrina cottage sleeps four and is roughly 30K. I don't know about hurricanes and tornadoes, though.

We first saw the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado Heavy-Duty pickup trucks at the State Fair of Texas and found out that the interior, cab and bed changes on the 2014 Silverado 1500 would carry over to the 2500 and 3500 pickups as well.
Now that we've had a chance to get behind the wheel of these new trucks, our first impression is solid; they (we won't call them "all-new," but this is more than just a refresh) are quite a bit better than the previous models and will push the segment competitors to be better. And we like that the GM engineers didn't just focus on the big details like new double-cab and crew-cab configurations, improved interior designs and bed features, but they also focused on key integration improvements with braking and towing technology, and how to present more information to the driver. Maybe this isn't as far as GM could have gone, but it focused on all the right pieces.
As a quick recap, we'll remind you nothing has changed on the HDs' frames, suspensions or powertrains, with the exception of a beefed-up bumper hitch that is now rated higher than any other pickup in the segment at 19,600 pounds. Payload (also segment leading, for now) and fifth-wheel towing numbers are up slightly as well.
We recently had our first chance to get behind the wheel of various gas- and diesel-equipped Silverado HDs in the mountains outside Phoenix, where we were able to gather some preliminary impressions (no testing was conducted). We also drove a 2014 Ford Super Duty F-250 and Ram 2500, both with their highest-output turbo-diesel engine option, for comparison.
We spent a short amount of time in a 6.0-liter V-8 2500 Silverado HD LT double cab and were reminded of how nice this classic GM engine (still overhead valve) can be. At 360-horsepower and 380 pounds-feet of torque, the engine output is comfortable and responsive. On our city and highway tour on the fringes of Phoenix — driving an empty, untrailered truck — we found it nimble and without any of the chattery ride qualities some three-quarter-ton pickups can have. Chevy says it mostly sells the gas engine to fleet buyers at the lower end of the trim package spectrum, but it is still an engine Chevy will keep around for a while. There are no high-tech capabilities here like Ram's new 6.4-liter Hemi, but the 6.0-liter block does allow GM to offer bi-fuel capability, using compressed natural gas for commercial and fleet buyers interested in extended range and potentially huge cost savings. Chevy didn't have any of the bi-fuel models on hand, but it will offer the trucks in all three cab configurations — regular, double and crew.
The stout 6.6-liter Duramax turbo-diesel is also unchanged, but that doesn't mean it feels the same in this new truck. Once you're driving, the first thing you'll notice is that there is practically no engine noise (with the windows rolled up). Not that the engine was noisy before (we have found it to the be the quietest of the three big competitors), but the new cabs have more sound insulation and tighter door seals, making the interior much quieter and more isolated from outside wind or engine noise. The idea here, we're told, is to make the truck interiors more comfortable and quiet so you can more easily hear your passengers or the radio. After putting several hundred miles of mountain highway driving on these trucks, we can say that works pretty well. We were able to yack (uh, converse) the whole way at easy volumes.
The engine handled towing a 28-foot Airstream (see our video) without any problem, averaging about 10 mpg over a two-hour tour that took us above 5,000 feet elevation. The trucks — when compared directly from configuration to configuration (2014 to 2015) — have gained about 100 pounds of weight but it's completely unnoticeable with the Duramax's 765 pounds-feet of torque. Yes, that is a carryover number but with the improved brake pedal feel and smarter exhaust brake applications, the overall feel of the engine and chassis is a major improvement over the 2014 models. And when compared to the current-generation Ram and Ford Super Duty diesel three-quarter-ton trucks, the Chevy Silverado 2500 did an excellent job of holding the truck-trailer combination on the long downhill 6 percent grade where we got to drive each of the trucks back-to-back. The Chevy grade braking with the Allison 1000 transmission and exhaust brake (which is actually a variable vane turbocharger) work together exceptionally well. We can't wait to get a heavier load on these trucks and get them to Davis Dam on the Arizona-Nevada border and Colorado's Eisenhower Pass grade.
Trim levels are relatively unchanged but there are some differences that will allow buyers to better order exactly what they want and stay away from those features they don't. There will be two levels of the Work Truck package, two levels of the LT trim and the top-of-the-line LTZ. Each trim level will have an additional Convenience Package along with a Driver Alert Package that includes high-tech safety technology like lane departure warning, forward collision alert, vibrating seats, and front and rear park assist. There will be no High Country option package for Silverado HDs.
Although it might take us a while to warm up to the new exterior styling, we have no such problems with the interiors. It was pretty tough for us to tell the LT and LTZ interiors apart, but both are huge improvements. The new gauge layout and center information screen are clear and simple to use, providing more information about what's going on with the engine and cooling systems, as well as delivering dozens of selectable screens for tire, fuel economy and audio data. Our only disappointment here was not seeing more screens dedicated to towing information. Additionally, we would have liked to have seen some upgraded towing mirrors (maybe with push-button extendability?) instead of the carryover manually extendable types. The climate controls and bank of toggle switches are our favorite improvements as both are easy to find and read at a glance.
Pricing is out on all 2015 Silverado 2500 and 3500 models. Although the base pricing for select models are right on top of last year's models, there have been increases on some models because of content changes and trim adjustments. Generally speaking, most of the middle and top-level packages have increased slightly over 2014 models.
We'll have more when we test the new Silverado HDs along with new Super Duty and Ram HD trucks later this summer. Let us know how you think we should spec out the trucks for testing or what packages you'd most like to see go head-to-head.
