The Tucson SE's 2.0L, 4-cylinder engine gets up to an EPA-estimated 30 MPG hwy, while the Eco, Sport, and Limited's 1.6L Turbo GDI engine with 7-speed EcoShift transmission achieves 175hp and gets up to 32 MPG hwy.

PHP is a widely-used Open Source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. Its syntax draws upon C, Java, and Perl, and is easy to learn. PHP runs on many different platforms and can be used as a standalone executable or as a module under a variety of Web servers. It has excellent support for databases, XML, LDAP, IMAP, Java, various Internet protocols, and general data manipulation, and is extensible via its powerful API. It is actively developed and supported by a talented and energetic international team. Numerous Open Source and commercial PHP-based application packages are available.
php-msrpc is a PHP binding for MSRPC, which is Microsoft's proprietary protocol for managing Windows servers and the like. It uses the libraries provided by the Samba-TNG project, which is required for use. php-msrpc will enable you to write Web-based administration tools for Windows (such as a user manager) with a Web server running under Linux.
PEAR Session Handler stores PHP4 session information in a database so that it is not only faster to retrieve, but it can (generally) handle a much greater load, and is able to be safely shared between machines without significant performance penalty. By default, the PHP session handler uses text files to store session information. While this is fine for smaller sites, it does not scale well and a more robust approach is required for larger sites. Unlike database-specific alternatives, pearsession supports all PEAR databases including Interbase, Informix, mSQL, MySQL, MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Sybase, and others via ODBC.

Green your Holiday Party: Eco-Friendly Tips for the Season
It's that time of the year for hosting your annual holiday party, and you've decided to try to make it more eco-friendly. If you want to throw a successful and enjoyable party, but also make less of an impact on the earth, here are some suggestions for ways to do so.
Invitations : Evite.com has an easy to use website that allows you to create invitations that are then sent by email. It offers online RSVP options and other party management features.
Menu : Create your menu with seasonal and locally grown foods. Your eco-conscious guests will appreciate seasonal selections that were grown close to home and not transported thousands of miles to the market. Purchasing organic foods is also important to the environment, but some family farms can't afford the huge fee to get organic certification. So be sure to ask the farmer if their products are pesticide, hormone, and antibiotic-free.
Decorations : Nature is one of your best resources for decorating in an eco-friendly way. Scour your backyard for fallen branches, sticks and leaves. Arrange the branches in an old water pitcher or other decorative container and spread the leaves on your holiday table. Potted herbs like rosemary or mint make fragrant decorations that look good and can be used in food as well. An arrangement of winter fruit is another beautiful non-wasteful way to decorate. Consider arranging organic lemons with other citrus in a clear bowl, then using the lemons the next day for fresh lemonade. If you have a backyard flower garden, you can also use some fresh cuts in a simple vase for a festive holiday centerpiece . Be sure to compost flowers and leftovers from used fruit.
Dinnerware : One of the easiest way to keep your party green is to use reusable dinnerware. Your holiday table can be green and sustainable by using dishes like these from Noritake . Choose from one of their holiday patterns or something from their stylish everyday collection. Also check their options for reusable glassware that would also make a lovely way to serve holidays drinks to your guests.
Lighting : Candles do create a certain celebratory atmosphere during this time, but opt for healthier versions of candles. Regular candles made from paraffin can emit dangerous toxins into the air while they are burning. Soy, beeswax and LED candles are a more earth-friendly and sustainable choice for your lighting options. If your party will be in the evening outdoors, solar lights are another ine...

Dale Earnhardt Jr. owns Daytona once and for all with the finest race of his life
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – "WOOOOO!!!!!!"
Dale Earnhardt Jr., fresh off his victory in the Daytona 500, strode into the Daytona media center, normally a staid workplace where open displays of emotion are frowned upon, and bellowed in celebration.
"I bet nobody's yelled like that in here in 30 years," Earnhardt said as he sat down, grinning through his red beard. "People used to yell like that all the time when they won."
It was a slick, if perhaps unintentional, bridge to NASCAR's past, a past that has dogged Earnhardt like an extra passenger in his car ... or, more accurately, like a cinder block tied to his rear bumper. Earnhardt, because of his surname, can't ever escape the past, but with this triumphant victory, at long last he appears to have wrestled it at least to a draw.
Every Daytona 500 carries the weight of history and memory for Earnhardt, but this one held particular meaning. The fabled No. 3 of his father returned to the race for the first time since Dale Earnhardt Sr. died driving it, and the event was heralded with even more significance than a presidential visit. Earnhardt and everyone associated with him patiently answered the questions about the 3's return with the same line: it's fine, it's no problem, let's get racing.
Once the green flag dropped, Earnhardt for once outran his past – literally, in the case of the race standings, and metaphorically, in the case of claiming Daytona as his own. He's got "Junior" in his name, yes, but with this, the best race he's ever run, he's his own man.
"I thought about holding up three fingers as I was driving down the straightaway," Earnhardt said, "but I wanted Steve [Letarte, crew chief] and everyone to enjoy it."
No doubt about it, this was Earnhardt's virtuoso performance. Consider what he had to overcome: A six-plus-hour rain delay. A hellbent, three-wide, every-lap-counts stampede in every turn. A rearview mirror full of three former champions in Jimmie Johnson, Brad Keselowski and Jeff Gordon, as well as the hottest driver at SpeedWeeks, Denny Hamlin (who won the Sprint Unlimited and his 150-mile qualifying race). Wide-open laps followed by treacherous restarts. Earnhardt came through on top every time. Every single time.
Earnhardt made sure to thank every member of his team in a series of sweaty, confetti-soaked embraces in victory lane. But his reason for winning this race was far more primal: "That car that I drove tonight, we got along," he said. "You know, we worked as a unit. It just happens ... The difference between the right car and what I've been driving is this much" – holding his finger and thumb an inch apart – "that's how close it is out there. You know it when you've got that much more."
Could Earnhardt have won this kind of race in 2006, 2008, 2010? Probably not. There's something more about him now, some focus, some sense of direction that he was lacking earlier in his career. He's always had the skill, he's always had the opportunity, he's always had access to the best equipment, but he's rarely had everything line up at once. There's a weight off his shoulders now, though, and ironically, that might make him better prepared to handle the responsibility of being the face of NASCAR.
"When you're close enough to the front to win races, there's a lot on the line, it's a big race, and you want to win it so badly, your team wants to win it so badly," he said. "You realize at that moment, especially inside of 20 laps to go, you're in the top five, you realize at that moment there's countless people watching on television, there's countless sitting in the grandstands with your shirts and hats on, your team over on pit wall, your crew chief, your family back home watching. There's so many people pulling for you that want to see you win, it's a heavy weight. You get so caught up in trying to do what you can to make that happen that when you finish second, it's really disappointing ... It's not a weight when you're able to deliver. It's a weight when you're not able to deliver."
After bottoming out in 2009 with a 25th-place finish, a year in which breaking into the teens was considered a good afternoon, Earnhardt has grown steadily. He's not necessarily a Kyle Busch/Jimmie Johnson-style threat to win every week, but a strong performance from Earnhardt is becoming the rule rather than the exception. That's the product of a number of different elements, but first and foremost, he's now got the right team around him.
"I see him maturing," Kelley Earnhardt, Dale's sister, said in victory lane. "His relationship with Steve really is the foundation of that. As a crew chief, he's a constant believer and constant cheerleader. Steve doesn't get negative, and that's helped him mature as a driver."
"It's like when someone loses weight but you see them every day," Letarte said. "You don't notice it as it happens. He's been giving 100 percent for a long time. It's just that now he's getting better. I've done a better job, he's done a better job, engineers have, everyone has, and it's added up to quite a stack."
In victory lane, Earnhardt had a hug and a smile for everyone who came within arm's reach. He spoke in interview after interview, his slightly cockeyed grin evident at every turn. And more than two hours after the checkered flag, he finally left behind his promotional obligations, going to, as he put it, "have a few beers." But before then, he offered up some prophetic words that should warm the heart of Junior Nation:
"Just when you think things are as good as they can get," he said, "they get better."

SynScope is an offline visualization and alignment tool for time-varying signals acquired from multiple sources that may differ in offset and/or sample rate. SynScope allows you to define reference points that correspond to identical events between source pairs. It then estimates the offset and resample rate to link these sources. It maps sample time from one source to the other via a link equation. Signal alignment can be inspected with synchronous visualization or resampling. With synchronous visualization, linked signals scroll together according to the link relation. With resampling, linked signals are resampled to the highest sample rate and offset-compensated.
Jipes is a Java library that allows you to efficiently compute audio features. Possible uses for these features are general music information retrieval (MIR) applications or, more specifically, personal music software. Unlike many other digital signal processing (DSP) libraries or frameworks, Jipes is not meant for real time processing of a single audio stream that is manipulated and eventually played back. Instead, it focuses on efficiently executing mutiple processing pipelines that transform a signal into a feature or feature set. Since Jipes focuses on features instead of the raw, untyped signal streams, it supports rich types to be used, where other frameworks only offer arrays of raw data. Also, by using Java generics, many core interfaces and classes can be typed to whatever class you see fit for the purpose. However, Jipes also comes with useful pre-defined types and support for raw arrays.
IIR is a C++ library that implements fast IIR filters: bandpass, bandstop, lowpass, and highpass. These can be designed using popular analogue filter functions such as Butterworth, Bessel, Chebyshev, Elliptic, Legendre, and pole placement. Creation of a complete filter requires only a single command and filtering is performed with a single function taking a sample and returning its result instantly. The library is template-based and avoids new/mallocs throughout. This library has been adapted form Vinnie Falco's original work and has been converted to run on Unix systems and turned into a realtime causal filter.
METAXPON ("Metachron" in Greek letters) is a small and fast audio DSP library for time-scale manipulation of 16-bit integer or 32-bit floating point stereo audio data streams. It employs a rigid phase-locked vocoder with dedicated transient detection and processing, and can work in real-time or non-real-time. Four editions are included - a portable edition and three x86 editions. The portable edition can be built with any ANSI C compiler and is OS- and architecture-independent. The three x86 editions are written in assembly using the FPU, 3DNow!, and SSE instruction sets, respectively, with automatic selection between them depending on the CPU capabilities. They can be compiled with MASM, JWASM, or NASM, producing libraries of object files in 8 formats.
The Common Pipeline Library provides a highly robust set of functions for manipulating signals and images. It is primarily intended for the building of VLT instrument pipelines, but is also useful for generic data handling. It includes a number of useful low-level data types, medium-level data access methods, standard implementations of commonly-used signal processing and data reduction tasks, and dynamic loading of "recipes" for data processing.
A high performance, scalable database modeled after Bigtable.
A utility that convert an email to a Trac ticket.

I remember seeing concept photos of the E46 M3 CSL in magazines nearly a decade ago. Upon first glance of the engine bay, I told myself, I will have a carbon fiber airbox one day
Fast forward many years later, I finally started looking into ways of getting that gorgeous carbon fiber weave in my own engine bay. Honestly, I never found a single tuning company that either built an airbox to the standard I was aiming for or even a reliable tuner to do such conversion. This was when I stumbled upon a tuning company from the UK, that has now become a strong powerhouse in the BMW tuning industry, Evolve Automotive. Upon endless amounts of research, I found out that this small group of tuners were way ahead of the game of what others were achieving here in the States when it came to natural aspirated S54B32 tuning. Pulling out a consistent 15+whp from just a tune?! I was rather skeptical to say the least. This gave me the urgency to start contacting their clients to get their first hand feedback. After hearing solely astounding reviews on their work, I committed to having them tune my car in whatever setup I end up gathering.
My goal was to simply hit ~315whp and ~240wtq SAE on a DynoJet, all the while keeping my stock section 2 and muffler. I wanted to have a nice streetable, smooth, and quiet host of modifications. Personally, I prefer to stay under the radar and not attract attention. Many shops have told me that these requirements will limit my potential for power, but I was rather persistent on sticking to my strict guidelines.
Now that I found the tuner I felt most comfortable with, I began my journey in finding the right carbon fiber airbox. I knew I could have gone the quicker route and just ordered a new OE CSL Airbox, but Ill be honest, even I had a hard time justifying its price at the time. After sifting through so many different replicas, analyzing photos, videos, and data, I was having a rather difficult time deciding on one. The most important factors to me were how the trumpets were designed, internal bracing, quality of carbon fiber, and easy of implementation for cold air feed ducting.
Coincidentally Evolve Automotive decided to release their own in a group buy for their UK clients. With the great success of their UK group buy, they extended the opportunity to all over the world. After confirming that I would be on the list, all I had to do was play the waiting game. Now to highlight some of the unique features of the Evolve CF Airbox.
For starters, it sure does look amazing in the engine bay when mated to the S54B32.

Perfectly straight 2x2 carbon fiber weaves like the OE CSL.
Despite the contours of the airbox design, the carbon fiber weave is so consistent.
Even when piecing different sheets of carbon fiber, the weaves match up nearly perfect.
Unlike some other carbon fiber airboxes, Evolve made sure that both the airbox and snorkel have same direction in weave. They went the extra step and also tried to make them line up the best they could.
Utilizing a high quality ITG filter built to Evolves spec.
Take note of the IAT Sensor location at the end of the snorkel. Optimized for proper IAT readings.
A clean glossy finish.
Looks very OE right in the engine bay.

Driving Impressions
Unreal. After watching countless E46 M3 CSL videos, I never once expected the driving experience to be this enhanced. The most unique feature obviously is the roaring air induction noise. Under heavy load at any point in the RPM, the noise is simply astonishing. Immediately after installing the car, I had to go full throttle onto the highway. Along with the S54B32 yelling, I could not help but just start hysterically laughing simply out of pure auditory bliss. Right away, I immediately forgot how many digits were ahead of the decimal point on my final invoice from Evolve Automotive. Sometimes it is rather comical when I induce some light-to-moderate throttle and instantly pedestrians walking immediately turn their heads in shock. To say the least, the induction noise is addicting. At any opportune time, I try to let it sing in it's full voice.
With this also being a modification for power, I was curious to see if I would notice any difference between this and the stock airbox. Despite other tuners and race shops telling me not to expect any added power from any carbon fiber airbox, I can honestly say that I feel the car pulling harder to redline and definitely breathing more efficiently on the top end. The car simply just feels less tired and much more urgency to surge forward. After thousands of miles put on this airbox, I can honestly say that my car has never been quicker. I knew right away that this was a great complement to my Supersprint V1 Stepped Headers. As many people proclaim, for a naturally aspirated setup to work properly, it has to be a harmonious working of all your modifications.
Ultimately, it is the Evolve Automotive AlphaN Tune that truly makes this modification all the worthwhile. Sal at Evolve Automotive, their head DME Calibration Specialist, has worked true magic into my MSS54 DME. With his great experience and endless amounts of knowledge, Sal has helped me fully integrate this radical airbox seamlessly with the rest of my car. The car drives smoother than stock. One of the great benefits of a properly tuned AlphaN is throttle reaction. Evolve Automtive has been praised for having a very nice and predictable throttle control characteristic in their tune. Converting my car to a MAF-less AlphaN setup took that advantage to the next left. Rev-matching and partial-to-full throttle transition just feels purely connected. No delay, no hesitancy, just proper predictable response. I have driven this car in the wide range of 8ºF to 112ºF, not once has the car ever hesitated or felt bogged down. Regardless of weather condition, the car has performed 100% reliable without hesitation.
Now the fun portion, how the power and delivery is of the airbox and tune in conjunction. In the simplest words, it is ferocious and unending. As I mentioned, my car has never felt so quick before. The harder I drive the car and the more I build up through the power band, I feel it just pulls harder and harder. Closing in on the 8200RPM redline and shift lights fully flashing, I shift into the next gear with another seamless surge of unending power. Being very familiar with how my car was stock and previously tuned with the same headers and stock airbox, this specific culmination of parts and tuning is the strongest setup to ever grace my car. Words cannot express how much joy there is driving a car that has been enhanced with so much more power and punch.
In the end, I have absolutely zero regrets on purchasing the Evolve CF Airbox and AlphaN Tune. People often times question its value and high cost. In my personal opinion and goals with the car, it was much more worth while spending several thousand dollars on just this carbon fiber airbox, than spending the same amount on an aftermarket section two and muffler, getting poor fitting aero pieces, or buying an endless list of accessories. Other notable benefits of this airbox are the ten pounds in weight savings at the crucial front end, along with a simple MAF-delete, negating one more thing that could fail on the car.
Going back to the philosophy of retaining the soul and personality of the S54B32, I am so pleased to say that nothing is compromised. As I dreamed, every portion of the driving experience is simply improved.
Dyno Results
Many people know how much I enjoy data analysis and collection. Through out the many years, I have been learning first hand how challenging dynos can be. In the end, a dyno graph only tells such a small part of the story. My original goals were ~315whp and ~240wtq with my short list of power modifications. I am so pleased to say that on the DynoJet, I was able to surpass that with ~320+whp and ~245+wtq.
Dynoing this setup proved to be quite the challenge with the limitations in equipment we had to work with. What my friends and I found out was that we simply do not have enough air blowing through the front of my car to reciprocate what is happening on the streets at normal road speeds. I made attempts at building different forms of ducting, but ultimately, I ended up coming full circle to what Evolve Automotive recommended. Fortunately, I have a great group of friends with very intuitive minds and we are in the works of fabricating a very nice setup to reduce as much hot air going into the airbox as possible.
Despite some of the challenges we faced on the dyno, I am so happy to say that Evolve Automotive has helped me produce a consistent, reliable, and conservatively measured 321wtq and 246wtq. Now I say conservatively because after discussing with experts in the industry, independent of Evolve Automotive, they assured me that on the street, chances are I may be making a tiny bit more power because the dyno fans are not reciprocating real life conditions. Regardless, with my three modifications (Airbox, Tune, Headers), I am so impressed by the power it puts down. Quickly adding +40whp is definitely no easy feat on an already high-compression and high-strung motor!
It must also be noted that the specific tune on my car right now is only conservatively refined. There are a few other members who have further enhanced tunes that were remotely tuned by Sal. In my case, I decided to keep things a little more simple. One reason being is that I have such limited time on the dyno a day and it's not always easy to collect all the data I want. On top of that, the dyno shop is over a hour away. But the more fun excuse, I want to save Sal's time and dyno funds for other projects......

So what's next...
I feel like I am only half way there. As we all know, pulling power out of the S54B32 in it's natural form is not easy, nor cheap. With the many miles I have put on this setup and countless dyno session and data analysis, I am finding ways to constantly raise the bar. Maybe one day, I will find that section 2 and muffler that meet my very strict requirements. Or maybe I'll throw in a pair of cams with the help of some friends. Who knows, maybe there's a stroker motor in it's lifetime...only time will tell
I hope you enjoyed my long story. If you have any questions or concerns, I am always open to discuss! So please share your thoughts and hopefully this thread turns into an educational tool, a form of entertainment, and just a fun place to discuss opinions.

'Happy Birthday to You' copyright suit filed in NY
NEW YORK (AP) — A production company making a documentary about the song "Happy Birthday to You" has filed a lawsuit in New York over the copyright to it.
Good Morning To You Productions Corp. says in Thursday's federal court filing Warner/Chappell Music Inc. has been collecting "Happy Birthday to You" licensing fees for years. Warner/Chappell claims exclusive copyright to what Guinness World Records has called the most famous song in the English language.
But the film company disputes the copyright, saying the song is "dedicated to public use and in the public domain." It asks the court to count thousands of people and groups who've paid Warner/Chappell Music licensing fees totaling more than $5 million as part of a class action and to make the song free to use.
Los Angeles-based Warner/Chappell hasn't responded to a request for comment.

Tomlin: Bell injury not as bad as feared
Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Le'Veon Bell could return much earlier than expected from a sprained foot, coach Mike Tomlin said Thursday.
Tomlin said Bell will not require surgery, as was widely reported, and that already the team has seen dramatic improvement from treatment, including more movements without pain in the past 48 hours.
The team is listing Bell's injury as a mild mid-foot sprain. Bell was ruled out of Saturday's preseason game and will be re-evaluated next week.
Bell, listed as a co-starter with Isaac Redman, was hurt during the first quarter of the Steelers' 24-13 loss to the Washington Redskins on Monday night. He underwent an MRI on Tuesday.
ESPN and NFL Network reported the Steelers sent Bell's MRI scans to Charlotte-based foot specialist Dr. Richard Anderson for a final determination regarding the severity of the injury, but that the team was anticipating the worst -- a Lisfranc foot sprain.
The second-round draft pick had missed Pittsburgh's preseason opener with soreness in his left knee. He made his NFL debut against the Redskins, rushing for 9 yards on four carries before the injury.
Pittsburgh has multiple injuries to running backs. Redman is battling a stinger and LaRod Stephens-Howling (knee) and Baron Batch (stinger) also are injured.

Business Insurance - Protect Your Buisness Keyport NJ
Lets start first with the home business scenario. With a home business, one of the biggest issues is to protect your home business equipment. Often, this will mean insurance on your technology (computers or other equipment) and business assets (like your fax machine). If you run your business from home, you may think these items are covered. However, a standard home insurance policy will not always give you enough protection for expensive assets like computer equipment or specialized machinery.
Business Owners Policy (BOP) - Coverage for Multiple Locations Keyport NJ
Be sure to check on your jurisdictions requirements for workers compensation coverage when you buy your insurance for your business. The bad news: A BOP doesn't include workers compensation, health or disability insurance. If you have employees, you'll need separate policies for these coverages.

The in home business insurance policy coverage can also be called an in home business endorsement. In that case, it will be a special endorsement to your existing home insurance.

Boosting police information exchange across West Africa focus of INTERPOL workshop
COTONOU, Benin – The second INTERPOL West African Police Information System (WAPIS) Programme workshop, hosted by Benin National Police, brought together some 20 representatives from seven countries to define the scope of the exchange of police information in West Africa.
The three-day meeting (23 - 25 January) was officially opened by the Minister of Interior, Public Security and Religious Affairs, Benoît Aswan Comlan Degla, the Head of the Delegation of the European Union in Benin, Ambassador Françoise Collet, INTERPOL Vice President for Africa, Mohammed Adamu and the representative of the Economic Community of the States of West Africa, Mr Isaac Armstrong.
Developed by INTERPOL and funded by the European Union, WAPIS is aimed at creating a national and regional infrastructure for the exchange of police information to strengthen the fight against terrorism and crime affecting the sub-region.
Workshop participants from Benin, Ghana, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria and Sierra Leone were able to see first-hand the systems in place at Benin's Public Security Documentation Centre, the structure of which formed a basis for discussion.
The workshop concluded with the adoption of a comprehensive model of information exchange to enable the investigation and prosecution of criminals among the countries of the sub region.
"The success of WAPIS will be a major step in strengthening security across and beyond the West African region," said INTERPOL Vice President for Africa, Adamu Mohammed.

By being bold, Blue Jays feeling emboldened
Nineteen years have passed since the Blue Jays stunned the Phillies to win their second consecutive World Series. And that is when the cheering stopped, when mediocrity took over at the indoor palace we once called SkyDome (now Rogers Centre).
The Blue Jays have been one of baseball's biggest disappointments since then.
I sat in the press box that night when Carter launched one of the most memorable homers in World Series history. As most everyone (except the Phillies) sifted through the euphoria that night, who would have thought this well-built and superbly run franchise would not be in the postseason again over the next two decades?
Of course, the players' strike that wiped out the 1994 World Series deprived the Cito Gaston-managed Jays from trying for three straight championships.
For long-starved Canadian fans, the glory years are a distant memory.
The Blue Jays' attendance has consistently ranked in the bottom third of all Major League teams for more than 10 years. Most of their seasons have been forgettable.
That's why I believe the bold moves general manager Alex Anthopoulos and CEO Paul Beeston have been making this offseason are reigniting the flame in Toronto.
Commissioner Bud Selig on Monday approved the 12-player blockbuster deal Anthopoulos made last week with Miami, giving the Blue Jays shortstop Jose Reyes, outfielder Emilio Bonifacio, pitchers Mark Buehrle and Josh Johnson, and catcher John Buck.
Anthopoulos was awaiting word from Selig if he would allow the deal when he also moved to signed 2012 All-Star Game MVP Melky Cabrera to a two-year, $16 million deal.
What the 35-year-old Anthopoulos has done even before the Winter Meetings next month in Nashville is completely change the landscape of the rugged American League East and send a message to the Yankees, Rays, Orioles and Red Sox: Watch out for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2013.
Anthopoulos' wheeling and dealing brings back memories of the shrewd trades and signings Hall of Fame GM Pat Gillick made during his celebrated tenure in Toronto.
Gillick, who left after the 1994-95 strike, built the Blue Jays from a weak expansion team to World Series champions. Pat had great success after he left Toronto, but that's where he punched his ticket to Cooperstown.
Gillick brought aboard the likes of Hall of Famers Roberto Alomar, Paul Molitor and Dave Winfield, as well as Carter, Fred McGriff and Jack Morris.
With that history, I believe Anthopoulos had no choice but to completely overhaul the Blue Jays and he's off to a smashing start. Fans were crying for it.
"There's a real buzz right now in the city," Anthopoulos told MLB.com on Monday. "Sometimes expectations get out of whack, but this just shows the interest level on the team is huge.
"All the AL East franchises have been to the playoffs [since Toronto last won] and are very well-run. Clubs are more competitive than they have ever been, so it's important to keep pace."
All he had to do was look at the 2012 numbers: In the AL East, only the Red Sox had a worse record than the Blue Jays' 73-89. Among the 14 teams in the AL, their attendance of 2,099,063 ranked eighth and only Tampa Bay drew fewer fans among those in their division. Their payroll of about $75.5 million was 22nd among the 30 Major League franchises.
Anthopoulos, in less than a week, has reworked 25 percent of his lineup.
The haul from Miami is expensive and a huge risk, but the players' credentials speak for themselves. What shouldn't go unnoticed is the fact that Anthopoulos had young players with raw talent that answered the Marlins' need for a rebuilding franchise even if their upset fans don't agree.
Soon after his spectacular performance in the All-Star Game, Cabrera was suspended for 50 games for testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. Yet had it not been for his productive pre-suspension performance, the Giants might not have won their division.
The suspension makes Cabrera a risk, but regardless of his .346 batting average and 11 home runs, he should fit perfectly with the Blue Jays' offense. They just have to hope the PED didn't enhance Cabrera's numbers.
Obviously, the Blue Jays plan to make life more difficult for their brethren in the AL East.
Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon agrees the division is now even tougher.
He told Tampa Bay Times reporter Marc Topkin that while the Blue Jays are considerably stronger, but "we've gone through this before, whether it's Boston or New York or whomever with all the different things they do in the offseason. Now, it's Toronto doing it. But it's about what we do and how we co-habitate and how we make ourselves better."
Anthopoulos doesn't have to apologize.
"We haven't accomplished anything during my three years on the job," he said. "We're trying to build a core and keep that in place. There's no question the city is starved for a playoff-caliber team and hopefully a World Series contender -- and things like that. There's definitely a healthy appetite for baseball across Canada right now."
The next piece will be hiring a manager to replace John Farrell, who left to become Boston's skipper in what he called his dream job.
"We're working toward that and hopefully will have it done soon," the GM said. "We're looking for the right person for this organization. It goes without saying this person has to have ability to manage a bullpen, deal with the media, has leadership skills. Any candidate will have those skills, but the final entity is someone who connects with the players and connects with management."
Anthopoulis is looking for someone with experience and if his player moves to date are an indication, the hiring will be a bold move.

In the bit over a year since the introduction of the original Nikon D70, rival Canon has answered that camera's challenge strongly with their Digital Rebel XT model, catching up quite a bit in the areas of startup time and responsiveness, as well as in resolution and detail rendition. That said though, the Nikon D70s retains the advantage of a superior lens with a wider zoom range and slightly wider maximum aperture. It also retains the superb in-hand feel and ergonomics of the original D70, while the Rebel XT has gone quite a bit in the other direction with a tiny handgrip that's simply too small to be comfortable for many users. For shooters interested in flash photography, the D70s easily leads the field, with its combination of matrix metering for fill flash operation, and its direct support (no accessories needed) for true wireless TTL-metered flash operation with Nikon's SB-600 and SB-800 flash units. With its dead-simple "green zone" operation and host of helpful scene modes, the D70s is also a very approachable camera for novice users. This is an important consideration, given how well a d-SLR matches the needs of typical family shooting, an application where less-sophisticated users really need the things that d-SLRs do so well (fast shutter response, good high-ISO performance). Whatever your interests, the bottom line is that the D70s is an exceptionally capable, well-performing digital SLR, every bit worthy of the storied Nikon name. In case it wasn't already obvious, it's highly recommended, and an easy Dave's Pick.

Easy to use; great picture quality; fast sync speed; good value for the money.
Dim viewfinder; starts at ISO 200; poor autofocus in low light.
For pro photographers, the D70 (or D70s) hardly requires an introduction. It's a standard of the industry, widely considered to be one of the best values for any camera.
Since this is a review though, I will have to explain myself. The D70s is actually an upgrade to the D70, but the two models are so similar that functionally speaking, the differences are negligible. The viewfinder and LCD on the S are somewhat brighter, and the autofocus is theoretically more accurate, but none of the upgrades justify buying a new camera if you already have a D70.
As a result, the rest of my review is just going to deal with the D70 in general. One of the first things you'll notice about it is that it's fairly compact - it's not as tiny as Canon's Digital Rebel, but for a camera of its reputation, it doesn't feel much bigger than a prosumer model.
This contributes to one selling points of the D70, which is ease-of-use. It's fairly easily to reach most of the buttons, with the exception of DOF preview, which is strangely located on the opposite side of the lens - away from the handgrip. This is a problem mainly because so many of the functions can be controlled from the grip, the lack of continuity is disappointing. The two dials not only control shutter and aperture, but also toggle to adjust ISO, white balance, and other options. It only takes a day to get used to it if you've never shot with a Nikon DSLR before.
But for a working photographer like myself, the true "ease-of-use" is its performance. It turns on almost instantly, and supports shutter speeds down to 1/8000. Most importantly, the 1/500 flash sync is incredibly useful for shooting outdoors. Many cameras limit sync to 1/250, which is rarely good enough if you want to avoid stopping down the lens. 1/500 is though, and I salute Nikon for it.
Picture quality is superb for a six megapixel camera, which might surprise people who see newer cameras with eight or 10MP. But you can in fact produce very large prints from the D70, greater than 8x10", and you won't notice any sharpening or moire artifacts. Noise is also fairly similar to film grain, which means that ramping up to ISO 1600 isn't disastrous.
The camera does have its share of problems though. The viewfinder is rather dim, for instance - it's useable, but it would be easier to compose with it you didn't have to pay such close attention. This is a minor issue in most circumstances, but it can become serious if you're in an area with fast action and low light.
Speaking of low light, the D70 simply does not focus well without a strong source of contrast. In some cases I've spent several seconds trying to lock focus, though never in the middle of an assignment, thankfully. I have missed some opportunities however, and that's enough of an issue that it should convince other pros buy a D200 if they can afford it. Assuming they're doing time-sensitive work, that is - manual focus is always an option for static subjects.
A baffling decision on Nikon's part was starting ISO sensitivity at 200. It's a clean 200, but 100 would've produced better detail - essential for fashion photography - and comes standard on nearly all DSLRs except for this one. It would also have made shooting outdoor flash even easier, though I can live with high ISO so long as I have a fast sync.
All told, the D70s is a fantastic camera for new professionals and serious hobbyists alike. This role has technically been supplanted by the D80, but for the price difference, you could probably buy a lens or a flash!

Great upgrade from D70
Although relatively minor upgrades compared to the D70 which I own, this camera has a reputation of not having any of the early development problems the D70 had. The larger 2" LCD is welcome and a bit brighter than the 1.8" LCD on the D70.
One of the items I wanted to mention is that I shoot exclusively in RAW now for it's many advantages. The D70/D70S have relatively small RAW files about 5MB in size so you can get a lot of shots on inexpensive CF cards in this mode. Nikon Capture and NX are really great for getting the most from the Nikon RAW files. I regularly shoot RAW then batch process the files to JPEG images for printing and computer viewing. Shooting RAW removes all the in camera short comings of the D70/D70s and allows excellent pictures to be derived from the original with really little post processing effort on your part.
Although storage media is continuing to get cheaper and larger, I still find that the smaller RAW files generated by a 6MP camera are desireable from a storage and management standpoint. I know that eventually I will trade up to the 10MP or larger cameras but in the meantime I am very satisfied with the results from this fabulous 6MP camera. Read my D70 review for my other comments on this camera.

Very good Image quality, wide variety of lens, balanced feature set, reliable
None for the price
The Nikon D70s provides me a high quality photographic tool that I have now shot continously for the last 12 months, (over 11,000 images). The camera has numerous external controls, keeping one out of menus for most all shooting chores.
Shooting in RAW, and keeping images in Adobe color space and 16 bit tiffs yield beautifully detailed and rich photographs that rival any camera out there today in the under $2000 range. While the D200 and D80 offer more resolution, they do not provide a superior image.
Buy this camera even today. It is at bargain prices at this time and will serve you well for years to come. Any lenses you buy you can take with you to possible future bodies in the APS sensor range that Nikon may produce.
I strongly recommend this camera!

Good image quality, good feature set, FAST!
does not meter with non AI lenses.
I got this camera when it first came out in 2005. Coming from a coolpix 5700, this camera was a huge leap in terms of speed and image quality.
With the kit lens, its a wonderful combination! Focusing is excellent even in low light. I use a SB-800 with it and with the AF illuminator, it works even in total darkness.
I've used this camera on so many occasions ranging from air shows, studio shots and travel photography. Although sometimes I wished it had more megapixels, on the good side, it has less noise and better dynamic range.
This camera could very well be suited for the beginner up to the advanced amateur. Even with newer models with more MP's appearing, this camera could very well be a good bargain on the grey market.

Attractive price and yet extremely good
Not the newest model around, small viewfinder
I had been waiting for a long time to go digital from my beloved F801 and Velvia slides, and was looking for a good opportunity : indeed, I did not want any compromise in terms of quality, but could not have the budget for a D200. Having used Nikons for years, I did not consider any other brand (mostly to keep my lenses). Then finally, the D70s reached an acceptable price level, and I could finally buy one.
As a Nikon user (both film and digital), I definitely felt at home using the camera - all controls are really where they should, which is extremely important. Construction quality is really good for a plastic camera, and I'm not shy of taking it out with me anywhere I happen to be. Image qualit is as good as you can expect it to be, and definitely enough for everyday use. A major problem though is the size of the viewfinder - it is sooo small !! I cant get used to it....
This camera is, of course, not as good as its newest counterparts, the D80 and D200. Of course it could use a few more pixels, more electronics, bigger LCD, advanced features,... but well, this camera has been extensively used by thousands of users who have been happy with it. It now is really affordable to the photographic enthousiast, and I personnaly prefer not to spend all my savings in the camera of my dreams - I prefer to have some finances left to travel and take interesting pictures, instead of being stuck in my hometown shooting the same old tree and the neighbour's dog
- this has to be considered !!

intuitive controls and menus
noise o'plenty above ISO 800
I went the Nikon route because when I went to finally go and hold one in my hands, I felt like I automatically knew what I was doing with it. That's saying a lot, since my camera before the D70s was a point-and-shoot. After a little getting used to, you can make little adjustments without even having to look.
There's a lot of talk about how the D70s has a tendency to underexpose, well, it does. But(!)... the camera will warn you with a little flashing symbol inside the viewfinder. There's just too much contrast! Recompose, get that super bright light out of the picture, and voila! Nice shot. But, you can ignore it and just change the exposure value. So, either way, it's easy to work around.
It comes with a few scene modes, but I've never really found a use for them, as it's quite easy to adjust things from the normal modes. Switching to sports mode is an easy way to switch from AF-S to AF-C.
The normal Program mode is my mode of choice. With Program Shift, it's almost way too easy to control depth of field just by scrolling the main command dial. It can be a little difficult to keep track of what aperture you're using when you move from different types of lighting to another, but just stick it on Aperture-Priority and problem solved.
My only complaint about the D70s is that anything above ISO 800 is noisy. Well, that's what it looks like on screen, but I have yet to print out a picture at anything above ISO 800.
The kit lens is great, but combine this with the 50mm f/1.8 and you've got yourself one powerful combo.

todays price, very good camera for a good price
not D200 :)
I just want to put a different light on buying this camera - and I assume you already know the features and differences between D50, D80 and other cameras in ~$1000 price range.
When I was looking for my new camera( since I got my Minolta wet and it died) I spent over 2 months reading reviews, tests, looking at sample pictures and simply wondering which camera will fit my budget and needs better.I ended up with headache and lots of doubts.I wish to have D200... but didn't have enough money.So I took a little bit from every review I read and made a list of upsides and downsides of having each Nikon in my reach.I didn't consider any of Canon only because of personal preferences.
There are few things you have to remember before you spend your $$$ on any camera:
- consider price of camera plus prices of every accessories you will/you may need in future.I was between D70s, D80 and D200. D80 wasn't available yet and D200 simply too expensive. So for the price of D80 Outfit I got D70s Outfit and SB600 flash and Sigma 10-20 lens(I had to add just few bucks).Put these extra $$$ you would spend on D200 and you just got yourself a nice tele lens or a good backpack and a decent tripod - and you're ready for (almost) everything.I am not saying that will happen if you go straight to bestbuy but search ebay and other internet stores and it is possible.
-If you consider Canons (or other brands for that matter) - just check prices of their lenses and fashes - sometimes price of camera body is attractive, but good lenses are out of your budget range, so you stuck with cheap "eyes".Remember - the best camera with poor optics will produce same poor picture it sees.
- think about camera features, what you need and what you don't - and also about its ergonomics.Is it to light, to heavy;to small or too big.For me D50 would probably be enough features-wise, but for my big hands just wasn't confortable.D70s feels just right.Don't let little things disturb your passion.
Overall its a very good camera - very capable.But dont't expect it (nor any camera) to make great photos for you - it is only a tool in your hands producing an image - You are making the picture.Quality of photos is just what I was looking for; noise levels far above my expectations, features helping me to take "The Picture" are just there. Would I recommend it to you - if you are amateur passionate like me - definitely, am I happy with it - you bet!
D70s is a good camera, and there are better ones too, but there always be...

Nikon D70s First Hand Impressions in the Road to Digital…
As you may already understand from the title of this review, I use to work with for several years with wonderful film photo material such as Nikon F-series (from F original up to the 5) and superb Leicas M and R. Professionally speaking Nikon has been my main 35mm furnisher and we have a long loving affair even if I was not always following them instantly on their move. I was found of their Nikon F3HP and F4 and of their always charming Nikkor AIs like 24mm, Micro 55mm, 105/2,5 and 300/4,5. AF lenses such as 20/2.8, 85/1.8, 80-200/2.8 and 300/4 have got my full respect for the maker. This is a long introduction to indicate by background references.
Digital evolution even from the yearly years appears to me as inevitable. Such as technological, communication and pollution issues has gradually put films out of the business especially in professional fields. So during the last two years I have made the commitment to go on digital for taking my pictures instead of scan negatives and slides. After a long way of searching and with the kind help of other professional friend fellows I did in buying a new Nikon D70s along with the DX AF-S NIKKOR 18-70/3.5-4.5G ED.
Today I will give you just a first hand impression. The camera and the lens seem to be well built. The handling is very good and the camera/lens combination is light. Controls are following the traditions of all Nikon electronics cameras since F801/N8008. The viewfinder is good but you have to adapt ourselves to the tunnel effect view which took me a couple of days. Doing the focus manually doesn't give any problem in particular but make sure to set camera and lens to the "M" position. Information's inside viewfinder are non-obstructive and done in a simple direct manner. For exposure setting the camera controls are very user friendly and most of all very intuitive. In low light conditions I have found that the D70s metering system has a tendency to underexpose the subject especially when using the matrix exposure pattern. In that case I have used instead the center lecture option with success most of the time. Manual metering is a pleasure to work with but indications are showed only into the inside reflex viewer.
The battery pack has an amazing longevity. With the D70s you will become a happy multiple-trigger-man in a short time.
I have read the full and instructive manual that come with camera and it have gave a profound impression of what are the real possibilities of the D70s. Even in professionnal aera I doubt that the camera will be use in its full capacities. For example you can really do exact color metering by using the "WB" white balance option without any traditional use of expensives color meter and not practical color correcting filters.
I have also begun to appreciate the flash system which seems to be very flexible. When using the integrated flash be sure to pull out the lens hood to prevent dark bottom spot. Menus are well presented and can be sophisticated as you may wish or not. Even the Nikon Picture Project software offer with the camera is useful but I am hoping to get and try the Nikon Capture 4 in a near future.
In brief for these first impressions, I have really appreciated from the beginning to work and take pictures with the D70s. I am looking forward to get a "picture quality" point of view regarding the inside photo capture system and the electronic supporting it. But now on Digital has become my complete new photo way of life.
Hope this review helps you, Daniel M.
