Originally published on Nov. 7, 2012.
President Obama won a second term Tuesday, defeating Republican Mitt Romney after a long and bitter campaign that revolved around questions of how to accelerate the economy and the proper scope of government.
Obama swept Ohio and the other battleground states, accumulating a solid majority of at least 303 electoral votes despite the nation's sluggish growth, high unemployment and partisan gridlock in Washington.
Obama held a slight lead in the national popular vote as of early Wednesday morning. Shortly before 1 a.m., Romney called Obama to concede.
"The nation as you know is at a critical point," Romney told his supporters in Boston. "At a time like this we can't risk partisan bickering and political pusturing." It is time for leaders to "reach across the aisle," he said.
Less than an hour later, Obama spoke.
"Tonight, the task of perfecting our union moves forward," he told cheering supporters at the McCormick Place convention hall in Chicago. "We are an American family and we rise or fall together as one nation and one people."
In the last week of the campaign, Romney and GOP allies made a dramatic push for Pennsylvania, putting $11 million worth of ads on television, but Obama carried the state handily, along with New Jersey.
Obama won in large part by reassembling his coalition of young and minority voters. He had a huge advantage with Hispanics, the nation's fastest-growing ethnic group, which was crucial to his winning Nevada, New Mexico, and Colorado.
It was fitting that Ohio, the most heavily targeted of the electoral battleground states, put the president over the top.
Four years after his historic election as the first African American president on a message of hope and change, Obama faces daunting challenges, including a $16 trillion national debt and uncontrolled growth in the costs of Social Security and Medicare.
The partisan makeup of Congress was projected to stay the same, with Republicans controlling the House and Democrats the Senate. Already, House Speaker John A. Boehner (R., Ohio) said his caucus would not support a tax increase as part of any deal to close a $1 trillion deficit.
The results of the election will shape the nation's course in an age of austerity at home and peril abroad, between limiting the reach of the federal government and cutting expensive entitlements, or maintaining a safety net and spending more to stimulate the economy and bolster the middle class.
Romney and Obama had competing visions on taxes, federal spending, health care and foreign policy, notably how to respond to Iran's nuclear ambitions and what to do about the rising power of China.
Obama was fighting to avoid becoming the third incumbent in the past three decades to be denied a second term. Democrat Jimmy Carter lost to Ronald Reagan in 1980, and Republican George H.W. Bush was defeated by Bill Clinton in 1992.
For all the sharp differences between Obama and Romney on broad principles, both of them were often vague on the details of their policy proposals.
Romney called for cutting income tax rates by 20 percent across the board and said he would offset the cost by eliminating tax breaks, but failed to specify which ones, as nonpartisan think tanks questioned the validity of his math. He also proposed overhauling the Medicare system so that, within a decade, beneficiaries under age 55 would receive a fixed amount of money from the government with which to buy either private health insurance or public Medicare-like coverage. But Romney declined to explain in detail how the new plan would work.
For his part, Obama never unveiled a detailed agenda for a second term, except to say that he would stop the harm to the middle class that he argued would come from Romney's approach, and promising, in general, to finish work left undone from his first four years.
During the campaign Obama said he wanted to overhaul immigration laws to provide a path to citizenship for some illegal immigrants, though he had failed to introduce legislation to do so in the first term. Obama also said he would spend more money on education and continue to invest in the development of alternative energy.
With a weak economy, and an unemployment rate approaching 8 percent, Obama began the election season in danger, his job-approval ratings well below 50 percent. After all, no incumbent since FDR had been reelected with unemployment higher than 7.2 percent.
So Obama and his team of strategists turned to making Romney unacceptable. They zeroed in on his record as founder and chief executive of the private-equity firm Bain Capital, attacking him in an early barrage of attack ads in battleground states as a vulture capitalist who profited from buying companies to drain them of their assets, lay off workers, and ship jobs overseas.
The image seemed to sink in, and it looked in September as if Obama was pulling away after a series of Romney missteps, including a video showing the Republican at a swank fund-raiser dismissing the 47 percent of the electorate that does not pay income tax as moochers with a victim mentality.
Then the game-changer: the first presidential debate Oct. 3 in Denver, when Romney offered a forceful critique of the president's record and blunted some of his more conservative positions as Obama stood by, listless. Romney began a slow and steady rise in the polls, nationally and in swing states.
In recent days, Obama stopped the erosion in his support as he led the federal response to super-storm Sandy in the Northeast. The storm consumed news coverage for a week, blotting out Romney and his message.
Exit polls found, not surprisingly, that the top issue on the minds of voters was the economy. While three-quarters of voters rated the national economy as "not so good" or poor, 3 in 10 said it was getting worse, while 4 in 10 said things were improving. Half of voters said former President George W. Bush was more to blame for current economic problems, while 4 in 10 said Obama was more responsible.
Fifty-one percent of voters in early exit polls said Romney would better handle the economy, while 47 chose Obama.
And yet those polls also seemed to ratify Obama's strategy of stressing class differences. Forty-three percent of those surveyed after voting said Obama's policies favor the middle class, compared with 10 percent who said they favor the rich and 31 percent who said they favor the poor.
As for Romney, 52 percent said he'd favor the wealthy with his policies, compared with 36 percent who said the middle class and 2 percent who said he'd tilt toward the poor.
Wendy Brockett, 51, a married mother of two from Doylestown Township in the swing county of Bucks, voted for Obama Tuesday, as she did in 2008. She said she is unhappy with the economy, but felt the president had been "dealt a pretty bad hand."
She added, "Romney would be good for people earning good money. We have to have a strong middle class and I feel Obama's plan has a better chance of making that happen."
Ohio, the state that became pivotal to the outcome, was particularly fertile ground for Obama. He was able to remind voters that he had saved the auto industry with a federal bailout of Chrysler and GM, which he championed. Romney opposed the deal, which became a liability in a state where one in eight jobs depend on the auto industry. Exit polls of Ohio voters showed that 59 percent supported the bailout.
Recognizing the threat, Romney began airing controversial ads in Ohio that suggested Chrysler was planning to move jobs from its Jeep assembly plant in suburban Toledo to China - which the auto company, its competitor, GM, and independent fact-checkers said was false.
Chrysler is planning to open a plant in China to sell Jeeps there, but said it was increasing jobs in Ohio.
"It clearly backfired," said Philadelphia-based Democratic consultant Daniel F. McElhatton. "When people can say, 'We know this isn't true because we live it,' then anything else Romney said becomes a lie."
Obama also benefited, exit polls said, from a sizable advantage among women. The president's reelection campaign stoked that gap as the race tightened by hammering Romney's opposition to abortion rights and vows to end federal funding for Planned Parenthood.

I have been told that tonal range is from white point through three-quartertones, midtones, quartertones, highlights to white point. I have also been told that an image with superior tonal qualities has a full complement of midtone values. I believe that shadows and highlights are accents and not the main course but, I wonder, how wide a percentage of an ideal image should be occupied by midtones?
Certaintly midtones are more important than shadows and highlights, we don't look to shadows or highlights to discern the story of a photograph.
The extent to which nouns may or may not be magic is not germane.
I believe midtone values outweigh other tones in an image most useful for easy communication of visual information.
A magic ideal? An ideal is a concept used for purposes of discussion.
Here is a magic ideal model link that has given me some valuable insight:http://photo.tutsplus.com/articles/theory/light-photography-exposure-and-tonal-range-considerations/
Human perception must be more inclined toward one model of tonal distribution over others.
In fact, perceptually, there exists an ideal (albeit not a magic ideal) formula of tonal distribution that results in a more captivating and more visually communicative photograph. This simply must be true weather there has been research in the area or not.
Missing the point. The issue is not how successful any individual image is. The question is what distribution of tones is most appealing to humans.
There also exists an ideal face based not upon magic but upon scientific study.

2001 Chrysler Sebring ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Dramatic drop-top styling and a spacious cockpit too.
For 2001, Chrysler rolls out a fresh design for the sleek Sebring Convertible. The new Sebring Convertible brings increased horsepower, while expanding the best attributes of the previous edition. For the past five years, the Sebring has scored as America's best-selling convertible, lauded for its sleek design, roomy back seat and attractive pricing.
This new Sebring Convertible was designed to maintain that leadership position, with generous room for backseat riders and best-in-class interior space. Its water-tight drop-top disappears behind the rear seat with the touch of a button.
Handsome new exterior styling looks dramatic with smooth lines similar to the new Sebring coupe and sedan. (Chrysler's Sebring Convertible, Sedan and Coupe have all been completely redesigned this year; they share the same sporty body style, but differ in engineering details.) Behind the slick shell is a stiff new structure, new suspension components that produce sporty ride traits, and a new engine charged to 200 horsepower.
Best of all, this new Sebring, like its popular predecessor, carries an attractive price, starting at just $24,370.
The new Chrysler Sebring Convertible is available in three trim levels: LX, LXi and Limited. All come with the same double overhead-cam 2.7-liter V6 engine and four-speed automatic transmission.
Sebring Convertible LX ($24,370) comes with a high level of standard equipment, including a vinyl convertible top, premium cloth-covered seats, a floor console with cupholders and armrest, air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, and 15-inch steel wheels.
To that, the Sebring LXi ($26,830) adds a cloth-coated top, leather seats and leather-wrapped steering wheel, a CD player with six Infinity speakers, plus 16-inch cast-aluminum wheels.
Sebring Limited ($28,915) increases the luxury gear with premium leather on the seats, instruments with bright white faces and electroluminescent lighting, an in-dash CD changer for four discs, and a driver-interactive AutoStick shifter for the four-speed automatic transaxle.
Active safety equipment includes bigger four-wheel disc brakes. Optional is a sophisticated anti-lock braking system Chrysler calls ABS Plus ($565) designed to better balance braking forces at each wheel; this helps improve stability when braking and turning at the same time by counteracting yawing or swerving. ABS Plus comes with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), which distributes braking forces front to rear for better stopping performance.
Sebring Convertible shares its name and styling with a new two-door Sebring Coupe and four-door Sebring Sedan. Sedan and Convertible use similar chassis and suspension elements, and share the same V6 engine and automatic transmissions. Convertible and Sedan roll out of the same Chrysler assembly plant in Sterling Heights, Michigan.
The Sebring Convertible is not simply a Sebring Sedan with the roof chopped and a soft-top added. Instead, it was designed from the outset to function as a two-door convertible. As a result, its reinforced structure is so strong that the topless Sebring feels as stiff as a hardtop car and behaves with sporty characteristics.
It's also drop-dead gorgeous.
Smooth sheet metal stretches long and broad over a taut form with fluid lines patterned after the slick coupe. The overall shape is dominated by a prominent hood and cantilevered windshield that rakes rearward at an extreme angle.
A broad nose focuses on the Chrysler signature of an exaggerated oval air intake port inset with a dark egg-crate grille ringed in chrome. Narrow headlamps wrap around front corners above round fog lights flanking the grille.
Side panels with rolled shoulders flare in rings around wheelwells to draw attention to large wheels that include multi-spoke designs in cast aluminum for the LXi, and chrome alloy for the Limited. At the rear a spoiler lip arches over large corner lamps and the thick mass of a monotone bumper.
Sebring's passenger compartment is an expansive space filled with form-fitting seats and stylish design elements like chrome highlights or leather and glossy simulated walnut wood.
Generous room for riders stems from architecture that extends the windshield forward, abbreviates space for the engine, and increases the length and width of the cabin. High-back bucket seats are standard in cloth fabric for Sebring LX; the LXi gets leather trim, while the Limited comes with softer premium leather trim. Seats feel firm and comfortable; the driver's seat has six-way power adjustments.
A dashboard collection of round analog instruments, tucked beneath an arched cowl and ringed with chrome bezels, employs easy-to-read white-on-black graphics for LX and LXi; bold black-on-white graphics and electroluminescent lighting add zest to the instruments in the Limited.
Although the dashboard is essentially linear, there's a wrap-around feel to the cockpit. From the driver's seat you can easily reach the shift lever and the window and lock switches mounted on the door. A center console houses the transmission shift lever and a padded armrest. Above the console, a central stack of controls for the audio and climate systems shows large rotary dials in a simple scheme.
At the top of the dash, an available display provides compass headings, outside temperature readings, trip mileage, fuel economy and estimated distance to an empty tank -- useful information on trips or when out and about.
Unlike some convertibles, the Sebring provides enough room in the backseat for two adults to sit comfortably; and it's fitted with three-point seatbelts. Twin cupholders extend from the rear of the floor console. Front seatbacks tip and slide forward quickly for easy backseat entry, and the front seatbelts do not impede entry because anchors are integrated in top corners of the seatbacks.
Trunk space is also good for a convertible; the trunk will accommodate two golf bags stacked together.
The convertible top is a snap to operate. Simply unlock two latches located above windshield visors, then touch a single button on the dashboard and the lid folds quickly into a well behind the rear seat. Continue to depress the button and side windows will also drop out of sight. Reverse the process to seal the top shut -- it's quick.
You can hide the collapsed roof by covering it with a smooth boot that locks in place with Velcro taps; when not in use, the boot folds and stows in the trunk.
Driving Impression
The streamlined styling of the Sebring positions this new convertible as a prime choice for cruising down the boulevards. Yet behind this slick skin are the ingredients of a sporty car charged with power and rigged with tight and precise mechanical elements that make it fun to drive over a curvy course.
We cruised the broad boulevards of Palm Springs in a Sebring LXi with the top down, basking in the warm California sun as the compact disc player spun a tune. It wasn't until we headed out of town, climbing high into the Santa Rosa Mountains on the switchbacks of snaky route 74, that the Sebring revealed its dual personality as both boulevard cruiser and sporty performer.
Step on the pedal to leap around traffic and it pounces like a cat catching prey. The V6 engine, displacing 2.7 liters out of an aluminum block fitted with dual overhead cams and multi-valve technology, produces 200 horsepower spread over a broad torque band. It can charge off the line at a stoplight, but still have enough guts at speed to surge ahead of other cars in a quick lane change. Despite the muscle, it earns respectable fuel economy and operates on 87-octane regular unleaded gasoline.
The electronically controlled four-speed automatic shifts quietly and efficiently.
To enrich performance, Chrysler adds to Sebring's Limited edition the AutoStick for shift-it-yourself control like a manual stick. Although the AutoStick is fun to play if you're in a sporty mood, for everyday use in urban traffic the standard automatic employed on LX and LXi editions may be more practical.
Sebring's steering mechanism, with power assistance linked to a crisp rack-and-pinion device, reveals a nice neutral feel.
The suspension, fully independent in short- and long-arm arrangement up front and a multi-link rear rig with stabilizer bar fore and aft, fashions smooth ride sensations. It excels in a set of curves by maintaining an impressively flat stance, even when pressed through a hard-cut corner. The super-stiff body, fortified by lateral braces to compensate for the convertible's lack of a unifying roof structure, plays a key role in achieving Sebring's taut ride traits.
All three trim choices use the same suspension components, but wheels and tires differ. The LX has 15-inch wheels, but the wheels for LXi and Limited bump up an inch larger and carry Michelin all-season tires. The larger tires feel more aggressive when turning, and ultimately improve Sebring's agility.
Chrysler's Sebring Convertible dazzles the eye with its sophisticated styling. It also comforts the body with a luxury-lined passenger compartment that carves out best-in-class space for four riders.
The power-operated pop-top drops in seconds with one-button ease to let the sun shine in or closes equally fast to block a sudden shower.
With strong power from the V6 engine and precise road manners derived from a stiff platform and independent suspension elements, Sebring defies the image of a loosy-goosy boulevard convertible and instead acts like a toned hardtop sports coupe.
All three trim choices contain the same essential ingredients including power-operated luxury gear, but prices skew to fit different budgets. Even the top edition, Sebring Limited, draws the bottom line well below $30,000.

Sebring LXi ($26,830).Stylish new sports coupe is quick and affordable.
Chrysler has introduced a totally new Sebring Coupe for 2001. This new two-door replaces the previous coupe by the same name. But it rolls on a stiff new platform and is powered by bigger engines than the predecessor. It comes with a sleek new shell and an all-new interior.
The Sebring label also applies to a new four-door Chrysler sedan. Despite a shared name and similar styling, the sedan should not be confused with the coupe, as they do not share chassis, powertrains, or components. Instead, the Chrysler Sebring coupe shares components with the new Dodge Stratus coupe.
Consider the coupe variation of Sebring an entirely new product rigged for comfort. Powertrain choices provide two different flavors. The Sebring coupe comes out of a joint-venture assembly plant in Illinois that also produces the Stratus and the Mitsubishi Eclipse coupes; Sebring, Stratus and Eclipse use the same engines, chassis, and suspension designs.
Behind its smooth shell, the Sebring coupe provides a generous interior environment that adds a quality rare for a two-door sports coupe: Genuine legroom in the rear seat.
Another rare trait among sporty coupes concerns the bottom line, as Chrysler casts the Sebring coupe with a price that begins at $19,910.
Chrysler splits the Sebring two-door coupe into two models: LX and LXi.
The base LX coupe ($19,910) uses a single-cam 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 142 horsepower and links to a four-speed automatic transaxle.
The luxury version, Sebring LXi, starts at $21,475 with a 3.0-liter V6 charged to 200 horsepower. The V6 mates either to the standard five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic ($825) that can be rigged with Chrysler's AutoStick ($165) for no-clutch shift control. Optional safety equipment includes ABS ($565) for Sebring LX, or ABS with Traction Control ($740) on Sebring LXi when equipped with the automatic transmission.
Chrysler's coupe treatment for Sebring looks bold and dramatic, with uncommonly fluid lines flowing over an oval format featuring a curt prow and exaggerated cabin clustered behind so much reflective window glass. The windshield initiates a graceful arching profile that extends over sensuously shaped doors to merge thin rear roof pillars in a swoop to the high deck of a tail.
The Sebring coupe is elegant in shape and style, a slick design that clearly harmonizes with the curvy sedans in Chrysler's fleet.
Up front, the broad oval grille inset with an egg-crate pattern and round foglamps comes off the styling chart for the LHS sedan. Above the grille, front corners carry multi-lens headlamps in oval clusters flanking the bulging hood.
Rolled side panels flare in rings around wheelwells to draw attention to large wheels, including optional seven-spoke chrome wheels.
Following the arching roofline, shapely back pillars slide down into the coupe's rear flanks to form shoulders of the high tail, which bows over bold corner lamps and the thick mass of a monotone bumper.
The architectural design of the Sebring carves out generous space for riders by extending the windshield forward to the firewall, increasing the length and width of the cabin, and abbreviating space for the engine.
Up front is a pair of high-back bucket seats clad in cloth fabric or optional leather. The rear bench seats three, with folding seatbacks split 60/40 for access to the trunk.
Unlike some sport coupes, the Sebring has a chassis long enough to leave room in the backseat for adult riders. To prove the point, we crawled into the rear seat and found that long legs fit neatly -- even comfortably -- behind the driver's seat. Further, we could extract ourselves easily from that space because the front seat slides forward sufficiently to permit a quick exit.
The look and tone of appointments in the Sebring coupe is sporty more than it is luxurious. A dashboard collection of instruments, tucked beneath a bowed cowl, contains round analog gauges including a tachometer. Sculptured pods on either side of the central console define notched cockpit spaces for the driver and front passenger. From the driver's seat you can easily access window and lock switches mounted on the door.
With the LXi edition, a center console cradles the shifter lever for either a manual stick or the automatic with optional AutoStick control.
Above the console, a central stack of audio and climate systems contains large rotary dials in a simple scheme.
Due to the broad and tall expanses of window glass and relatively narrow windshield pillars, the Sebring provides excellent outward visibility for the driver, which becomes a factor for safety.
Safety features begin with the rigid structure that wraps around the passenger compartment. Active devices include four-wheel disc brakes with optional ABS; passive measures include three-point seatbelts for all five seat positions and dual-stage frontal airbags.
Appointments for the base Sebring LX include gear usually offered on the list of options, such as air conditioning, and power windows, mirrors and door locks.
The V6-powered LXi brings a leather-wrapped steering wheel and premium sound system with cassette deck and CD player.
Driving Impression
Back-to-back drives in the previous Sebring coupe and its sleek replacement quickly demonstrate that the new version feels tighter, stronger and stiffer.
We spent time in both during a day driving loop courses around Lake Washington in the suburbs of Seattle. These routes ranged from congested I-5 to stop-and-go Third Street to the residential lakeshore on Mercer Island, and provided a variety of pavement types and urban speeds. The drives revealed confident road manners. They also revealed the suspension tips toward the plush side to favor softer ride characteristics.
Sebring rolls on a new chassis that improves rigidity over the previous generation by 90 percent in bending strength and 9 percent in twisting. New front suspension elements include MacPherson struts with lower A-arms, shock tower bracing, and an anti-roll bar. In the rear are upper A-arms with lower lateral and semi-trailing links, coil springs and an anti-roll bar.
While an aggressive driver may perhaps observe that the new front arrangement results in less precision when carving a hard turn, the new Sebring performs better in straight-line action and ultimately generates a smoother ride quality than the previous model.
The new coupe also delivers more power than the former Sebring through new engines that offer greater displacement as well as strength. The base Sebring LX comes with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that uses a single overhead-camshaft design with four valves per cylinder and sequential multi-point fuel injection. Output reaches 142 horsepower with the automatic transaxle.
Sebring LXi shows more spark with its single overhead-cam 3.0-liter V6 that develops 200 horsepower. This engine delivers exhilarating acceleration performance; it surprised us with its authority.
The shifter lever on the console connects to either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. The short-throw manual 5-speed moves effortlessly fore and aft, with smooth clutch engagement and easy up-shifts. The 4-speed automatic contains an adaptive controller tied to a computer that quickly learns a driver's habits and manipulates shift patterns to suit the driving style. Take it easy and the automatic interprets that style by shifting gently at relatively low engine speeds. Pep it up and the transmission holds it in a lower gear longer to increase acceleration performance. Tackle a long downhill descent and it drops down a gear to add engine braking. With the optional AutoStick, you can slide the automatic shift lever down to a manual mode and create a shift-it-yourself option without the hassle of pumping a clutch pedal.
Chrysler Sebring coupe delivers a spacious passenger compartment behind the sensuous lines of a slick shell. With its powerful V6 and smooth ride characteristics, the Sebring LXi edition contains luxurious appointments yet holds the bottom line to a reasonable number.

Sebring LXi ($21,475).A beautiful new mid-size sedan complements Chrysler's new coupe.
Chrysler has introduced an all-new mid-size sedan for 2001 called the Sebring.
Though it shares its name and styling cues with the sleek Sebring coupe (totally redesigned for 2001), there are key differences: The sedan offers the convenience of four doors to access a spacious cabin and comfortable seats aboard for a family of five. And the Sebring Sedan and Sebring Coupe are built on two different chassis, so they each have their own character in terms of ride quality and handling.
Sebring Sedan drives as sporty as a coupe, thanks to its stiff new structure and exacting handling components. Its pavement manners make it easy to control, matching those good traits of the Japanese mid-size Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. Suspension tuning, while precise, favors smooth riding comfort.
Four-door sedans are available in two trim levels with a choice of powertrains. The base LX sedan ($17,945) packs a twin-cam 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 150 horsepower through a four-speed automatic transaxle. Chrysler's 2.7-liter V6, which produces 200 horsepower, may be added to the base Sebring LX for $800. Base Sebring LX trim comes standard with air conditioning and power controls for windows, mirrors and door locks.
The luxurious Sebring LXi ($20,830) comes standard with the V6, leather seat upholstery, eight-way power control of the driver's seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a premium sound system with CD player.
Several safety systems are optional gear for both models, such as ABS ($565) and side-curtain airbags ($350). There's also a premium package available with the AutoStick transmission, electroluminescent instruments and 16-inch chrome alloy wheels ($1,295).
Chrysler Sebring Sedan replaces Chrysler's Cirrus. The Sebring structure began with the Cirrus chassis on a 108-inch wheelbase. But the new body is longer, taller and stiffer. More important, it does a far better job of resisting tendencies to twist and bend when set in motion; this more rigid construction is the key to a smooth, refined ride quality without resorting to mushy shocks. Chrysler's new package also excels in controlling noise and vibration. The result is an uncommonly quiet passenger compartment.
Chrysler's four-door version of the Sebring stretches long and wide over a slinky package that quickly shows a sedan can look crisp and sporty like a coupe. Chrysler has been a leader in design in recent years and the Sebring's exterior styling borrows design cues from the Concorde and LHS. As a result, Sebring's gracefully arched profile features a dramatic rake to the windshield. A broad but stubby nose focuses on Chrysler's signature grille design, which features an exaggerated oval air intake port inset with a shaded egg-crate grille pattern. Headlamps, shielded by polycarbonate lenses, wrap around the front corners, while available round fog lights flank the grille.
Flat side panels flare in rings around wheelwells to draw attention to the large wheels, which flash in bright highlights from optional chrome alloy multi-spoke designs. Above the beltline, blackened center roof pillars diminish definitions for doors and mimic the look of a pillar-less coupe.
Curvy back pillars flow down into rolled rear flanks in a smooth transition from roof to body. The tail incorporates a spoiler lip arched over large corner lamps and the thick mass of a monotone bumper. At the bottom of the bumper, an edgy flat facet interrupts otherwise fluid contours, extending around each corner and along low side rails to the front corners as a subtle linear foundation for the package.
Sebring's airy passenger compartment is a refined environment rigged with form-fitting seats and stylish design elements like chrome highlights or leather and glossy simulated walnut wood. The cab-forward architectural structure carves out generous space for riders by extending the windshield forward to the firewall and increasing the length and width of the cabin while abbreviating space up front for a transversely mounted engine.
Two high-back bucket seats clad in soft leather trim for the deluxe LXi edition flank a center console. The rear bench seats three with 60/40 folding split seatbacks and access into the trunk. LX models come with cloth fabric upholstery on all seats.
A dashboard collection of round analog instruments, tucked beneath an arched cowl and rimmed with chrome bezels, employs bold black-on-white graphics. Although the dashboard is essentially flat and linear, there's a wrap-around feel to the cockpit. Window and lock switches are mounted on the driver's door. The center console houses the transmission shift lever and a padded armrest. Above the console, a central stack of audio and climate systems contains large rotary dials in a simplified and easy-to-operate scheme.
With the broad and tall expanses of window glass and relatively narrow windshield pillars, Sebring sets up excellent outward visibility for the driver, which becomes a factor for safety. The glass, thicker than usual, serves a secondary function as an insulating property to dampen external noise. It combines with the structural streamlining and additional layers of insulation added to doors, body cavities and the floor and ceiling to forge the quiet interior environment.
Sebring's safety systems begin with a rigid structure that encases the passenger compartment. Passive measures include three-point seatbelts for all five seat positions and dual-stage frontal airbags. Also, the headliner has been engineered to accommodate optional curtain-style side airbags.
Driving Impression
Sebring the sedan surprised us with its competent road manners and the tight and precise way mechanical equipment functioned. We really liked the stiff yet smooth ride characteristics and discovered through experience that Sebring could be downright nimble in navigating a set of curves, or quick to respond when prodded in the passing lane.
Our tests of a Sebring LXi edition across the length and breadth of Seattle included a range of urban and suburban venues, from commuter-clogged freeways like the I-5 to stop-and-go treatment downtown on Fourth Street and residential romps such as Mercer Way that meanders along the shoreline of Lake Washington.
The V6 engine (standard on the LXi, optional on the LX) produces juicy acceleration. It leaps to action from a stoplight start, and at freeway speed still has guts to pop ahead of other cars in a quick lane change. This 2.7-liter V6 uses an aluminum block fitted with dual overhead cams and multi-valve technology. It delivers 200 horsepower but still earns respectable fuel economy figures. As a bonus, the V6 operates on regular-grade gasoline.
The electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission is quiet and efficient. Gear ratios for the transmission have been calibrated to produce fast-clip getaways in stoplight derbies and typical stop-and-go in-town driving situations. Thus, the Sebring feels quick and can transform a freeway entry into an easy maneuver.
For added driving enjoyment, Chrysler offers its optional AutoStick for shift-it-yourself control of a manual stick with the convenience of an automatic. The AutoStick is fun to play with when you're in a sporty mood. For everyday use in urban traffic, sliding it in the standard automatic mode works just fine.
Sebring LX, when equipped with the standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, feels energetic through all gears. This engine was carried forward from the predecessor Chrysler sedan, the Cirrus. If the bottom line is a primary concern, this is the engine to pick. The main cost difference is that initial $800, however. EPA-estimated fuel economy numbers differ by only a single point per gallon between the two engines. Order the LX with a V6, and you get a stylish mid-size sedan with V6 power for less than $20,000. That makes the V6 option hard to resist.
Sebring's steering mechanism, with power assistance linked to a crisp rack-and-pinion device, reveals a nice neutral feel. The suspension, fully independent in a short- and long-arm arrangement up front and a multi-link rear arrangement with stabilizer bar attached fore and aft, fashions smooth ride sensations. The Sebring remains composed even when dropping the right wheels off the pavement to feel an irregular shoulder. Trim choices of LX and LXi employ the same suspension components, but wheel sizes and tires differ: LX has 15-inch wheels, but LXi bumps up an inch larger and rolls on more aggressive Michelin all-season tires.
Anti-lock brakes are an option. The Sebring's anti-lock brakes, called ABS Plus, include a software extension that senses when you're braking and turning at the same time, a tricky situation from a car control standpoint. Chrysler's system aids the driver in this situation by controlling the vehicle's yaw for improved stability. This is particularly useful on varying road surfaces, when the right side of the car is on a different type of surface than the left side. Other brake improvements include electronic brake distribution, which balances the brakes front to rear for improved stability and shorter stopping distances. Larger brake rotors and thicker linings are designed to increase durability. Brighter headlamps with an improved light pattern help visibility on stormy nights.
Chrysler Sebring Sedan's sleek skin hints at the sporty lines of a coupe, but inside is a spacious and comfortable passenger compartment. With V6 power and precise road manners, it compares in behavior to mid-size imports yet beats them considerably in pricing. The top edition, Sebring LXi, loads luxury gear aboard but still holds the bottom line to a reasonable number.

WASHINGTON, April 11, 2012/PRNewswire/ -- Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) continue as the most dynamic growth sector of the world aerospace industry this decade, report Teal analysts in their latest integrated market analysis.
Teal Group's 2012 market study estimates that UAV spending will almost double over the next decade from current worldwide UAV expenditures of $6.6 billion annually to $11.4 billion, totaling just over $89 billion in the next ten years.
"The UAV market will continue to be strong despite cuts in defense spending," said Philip Finnegan, Teal Group's director of corporate analysis and an author of the study. "UAVs have proved their value in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan and will continue to be a high priority for militaries in the United States and worldwide."
"The Teal Group study predicts that the US will account for 62% of the worldwide RDT&E spending on UAV technology over the next decade, and 55% of the procurement," said Teal Group senior analyst Steve Zaloga, another author of the 574-page study.
The ninth edition of the sector study, World Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Systems, Market Profile and Forecast 2012, examines the worldwide requirements for UAVs, including UAV payloads and companies, and provides ten-year forecasts by country, region, and classes of UAVs.
Teal Group analysts already cover the UAV market in their World Missiles and UAV Briefing, which examines the UAV market on a program-by-program basis. Sensor payloads are also treated in Teal's Military Electronics Briefing. The sector study examines the UAV market from a complementary perspective, namely national requirements, and includes both a comprehensive analysis of UAV system payloads and key UAV manufacturers.
UAV Payloads
The 2012 study provides 10-year funding and production forecasts for a wide range of UAV payloads, including Electro-Optic/Infrared Sensors (EO/IR), Synthetic Aperture Radars (SARs), SIGINT and EW Systems, C4I Systems, and CBRN Sensors, worth $2.7 billion in Fiscal Year 2012 and forecast to increase to $6.0 billion in Fiscal Year 2021. The UAV electronics market will grow steadily, with the fastest growth and opportunities in SAR and SIGINT/EW, according to Dr. David Rockwell, third author of the new study.
"Few now question that ISR is 'the centerpiece of our global war on terrorism', with production beginning for major endurance UAV systems such as MP-RTIP, new development programs such as wide angle EO/IR systems, a variety of ground and foliage-penetrating radars and an ongoing 'sensor drift' as more sophisticated non-EO sensors are developed for smaller and smaller UAVs".
"The payload portion of the 2012 study includes many new systems and system types, including a new section on UAV self-defenses. Overall, UAV SIGINT and EW markets will see a massive 20.2% CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) from FY12 to FY17," according to Dr. Rockwell.
UAV Companies
The study also includes a UAV Manufacturers Market Overview that reflects the worldwide UAV market "again continuing as one of the prime areas of growth for defense and aerospace companies," said Finnegan. The new study reflects the rapid growth of interest in the UAV business by increasing the number of companies covered to some 40 US, European, South African and Israeli companies, and reveals the fundamental reshaping of the industrial environment.
All companies have been updated including their involvement and strategy in UAVs and five new companies have been included: Canada's Aeryon and CAE, Inc., South Africa's Denel, US-based Griffon Aerospace and France's Dassault Aviation.
As prime contractors and small companies compete in the dynamic UAV market, they are adopting widely different strategies. "Our overview tracks the widely varying approaches being taken by these key companies, ranging from outright acquisitions to teaming arrangements and internal development of new UAV systems," said Finnegan.
The 2012 edition increased 25% in size, and, for the first time, includes UAV market forecast spreadsheets, permitting data manipulation and offering a powerful strategic planning mechanism.

About three hours after asking for more respect from NHL officials, Alex Ovechkin was called for two penalties within seconds, leading to a pair of goals that put the New York Rangers ahead on Sunday in a 4-1 win over the Washington Capitals.
Brian Boyle scored his first goal of the season one game after being a healthy scratch, while Ryan Callahan also took advantage of Ovechkin's miscues to give New York a two-goal lead in the second period. Derek Stepan and Brad Richards also scored, while Martin Biron made 28 saves for the Rangers, who have won five of six.
Steve Oleksy scored his first NHL goal for the Capitals, who endured a rough weekend against New York teams. Washington lost 5-2 on the road against the Islanders on Saturday.
With the score 4-1, Capitals coach Adam Oates pulled goalie Braden Holtby in favor of Michal Neuvirth, who had not played since Feb. 7 and had recently been sidelined with an illness.
In Chicago, Sam Gagner scored two of Edmonton's four goals in the first period as the Oilers beat Chicago, sending the Blackhawks to their second consecutive loss after their record-breaking start.
Ryan Whitney and Taylor Hall each had a goal and an assist for Edmonton, who snapped a five-game losing streak. Shawn Horcoff also scored as the Oilers went three-for-four on the power play.
Yann Davis, who came in after Devan Dubnyk was hurt in the second, made 21 saves.
Chicago set an NHL record by recording at least one point in the first 24 games of the season. The streak ended with a 6-2 loss at Colorado on Friday night.
Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa, Sheldon Brookbank and Brent Seabrook scored during a wild second period, and Kane added his team-leading 14th of the season to get Chicago within one with 13 minutes left.
In Detroit, Michigan, Ryan Johansen and Matt Calvert scored in the shootout as streaking Columbus beat Detroit to complete a series sweep. Derick Brassard and R.J. Umberger had goals in regulation, while Sergei Bobrovsky made 20 saves through overtime for Columbus, who have won five straight. The Blue Jackets topped the Red Wings 3-0 in Columbus on Saturday.
The Blue Jackets are 5-0-2 in their past seven games after getting only 12 points in their first 19.
Jakub Kindl and Johan Franzen scored for Detroit in regulation, while Jimmy Howard stopped 19 shots. Pavel Datsyuk scored the Red Wings' only goal in the shootout. Franzen tied it 2-2 with a five-on-three, power-play goal 25 seconds into the third period.
In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Sidney Crosby tied a career high with five assists, while Chris Kunitz posted his second hat-trick of the season in Pittsburgh's rout of the Islanders.
Crosby's big night boosted his point total to an NHL-leading 45 and helped the Penguins win their fifth straight. James Neal had a goal and three assists, while Pascal Dupuis scored twice for Pittsburgh. Tomas Vokoun made 23 saves.
Brad Boyes scored the lone goal for New York, who had a five-game point streak snapped. Evgeni Nabokov stopped just 12 of 17 shots in two periods, before getting pulled for the final 20 minutes.
The Penguins played without NHL MVP Evgeni Malkin, who sat out due to an upper-body injury.
In other NHL action, it was:
‧ Canadiens 5, Panthers 2
‧ Devils 3, Jets 2, SO

Happy, Healthy Halloween! 1 of 12
With a bit of imagination, you can transform your farmers market veggies into creepy foods that will make an eerie impression on kids and adults. Scare up some savory Halloween fun at a pre-trick-or-treating party with these deliciously daring (and healthy!) Halloween nibbles. To let your guests know what each spooky dish is, use creepy clip art images attached to wooden skewers as labels.
Happy, Healthy Halloween! 2 of 12
1: Roasted Brains
Lets face it. Whole cauliflowers look like brains. Might as well take advantage! If you can find a yellow cauliflower, even better: This will just add to the eerie effect.
How to prepare:
1) Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees, remove the leaves from the cauliflower, and drizzle one tablespoon olive oil in the bottom of a pie dish.
2) Cook 25 whole cardamom pods in a skillet with one tablespoon of olive oil for two minutes until they start to break open.
3) Rub the cauliflower with three tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper and pour the toasted cardamom pods on top.
4) Roast until browned for an hour or more.
5) Serve whole to astonished guests who will have fun breaking off a piece of brain with their fingers. (Though you may want to loosen the florets with a knife so theyre easier to remove.)
Happy, Healthy Halloween! 3 of 12
2: Bloody Bat Ears
Sliced beets shrivel when roasted and crisp up into delectable veggie chips — or, for our purposes, icky, bloody bat ears!
How to prepare:
1) Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
2) Slice beets very thinly (use a mandolin if you have one).
3) Drizzle some olive oil on a baking sheet and spread around evenly.
4) Place sliced beets on the greased baking sheet and brush with a bit more olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and bake for 2030 minutes.
5) Remove from the oven, and they will crisp as they cool.
Happy, Healthy Halloween! 4 of 12
3: Jack-o-Lantern Potatoes
Use Halloween cookie cutters to turn potatoes into crispy Jack-o-Lanterns, ghosts, and goblins. Youll need the largest sweet potatoes and potatoes you can find, and some small- to medium-sized Halloween cookie cutters.
How to prepare:
1) Peel the skin off of the potatoes and slice horizontally 1/8-inch thick.
2) Press out shapes by pushing down hard and using a paring knife, carefully carving eyes, noses, and mouths.
3) Place your shapes into a large bowl of ice water and save the scraps in another bowl (you can cook and eat these, too).
4) Heat a large, non-stick skillet with 1/8 inch of olive oil. Remove the potatoes from the water and dry.
5) On medium-high heat, cook several potatoes at a time for approximately 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with kosher salt.
6) If you plan to freeze these, lay on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze uncovered until hardened. Transfer to freezer bags and seal out any excess air. Re-heat the day of your party in pre-heated oven at 400 degrees for approximately 8 minutes and display on a platter.
The potatoes can also be baked, but sweet potatoes work best fried unless you have a convection oven.
Happy, Healthy Halloween! 5 of 12
4: Scaly Lizard Skins
When roasted and salted, kale becomes lizard skin for a crispy, melt-in-your-mouth delicacy. These tasty crisps are simple to make and will vanish in seconds.
How to prepare:
1) Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and wash and dry one large bunch of kale.
2) Remove the leaves from the stem and tear into nicely-sized pieces.
3) Place in a large bowl and toss with one to two tablespoons of olive oil until well coated.
4) Spread the leaves on two baking sheets, careful not to overlap.
5) Cook for 12 minutes until crispy but not overcooked.
Happy, Healthy Halloween! 6 of 12
5: Bloody Fingers
Roasted fingerling potatoes become bloody fingers when drizzled with or dipped into ketchup. Shop for the longest and most crooked potatoes you can find and transform these misfit veggies into a scrumptious treat.
How to prepare:

The big idea behind 2010's remarkably dull "Red" and its miserable sequel is that the previously retired main characters are older than the usual action heroes. Worth noting, though: All of these former intelligence operatives still move around and work competently as if no time has passed, and one of them is played by Bruce Willis, who's still running and kicking ass in terrible "Die Hard" sequels.
So the supposed novelty of the concept doesn't really work, does it?
Neither does anything else in "Red 2"—adapted from a graphic novel whose title is an acronym for "Retired and Extremely Dangerous"—which would have been no more difficult to endure if I were sitting on nails. The plot involves a search for a nuclear weapon lost decades ago, but that's just a half-hearted excuse to let Frank Moses (Willis), Marvin (John Malkovich) and Victoria (Helen Mirren) fire a lot of bullets and treat death and killing like a big joke. Han (Byng-hun Lee), a Korean assassin identified as the world's best contract killer twice in three minutes in case theatergoers fall asleep, shoots up a street and shouts, "You dead yet, Moses?" "Not yet!" Frank shouts back. Really funny stuff, clearly.
In scene after scene, Frank's civilian girlfriend Sarah (a painfully annoying Mary-Louise Parker) exists primarily to ask questions like, "What is this place?," "Why does Han hate you so much?" and "Should you eat that?," followed by some explanation by Marvin and a mumbled quip from Frank. Writers Jon and Erich Hoeber (who are already at work on "Red 3," hooray) think it's hilarious for someone to fire a gun in a club or for Frank and his old squeeze Katja (Catherine Zeta-Jones) to laugh about trying to kill each other. Just because the makers of a film constantly insist that the material on screen is meant to be fun doesn't mean they're right. It's absolutely possible to make a violent movie that is entertaining, but the tone of "Red 2" is all wrong, aiming for "light romp" and achieving, "boring and offensive."
Marvin actually says, "What happens in the Kremlin stays in the Kremlin," the site of an action scene that's about 100 times worse than the one we saw in "Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol." He also fakes his own death and then goes back to work immediately, which seems like a waste of effort. Another arguable waste of effort is complaining about these inevitable sequels, considering July already brought "Despicable Me 2" and "Grown Ups 2," with "The Smurfs 2" still to come. Pass the ibuprofen.
