Culinary superstars José Andrés, Alice Waters and Joan Nathan lent their epicurean oomph yet again to attract a record-breaking 1,000 guests to their annual food-focused fete. The two-night event kicked off with the sold-out Sips soiree at the Newseum, featuring food and drink from powerhouse chefs like Mike Isabella of Graffiato and Kapnos, and chef-turned-TV-star Carla Hall of The Chew.
While the chefs provided the star power, it was the creative menus—and cocktails—that were the biggest hits. Guests were seen frequenting the Celebrity Cruises-sponsored elevators, which featured destination-themed drinks from their far-flung ports of call, including the Caribbean and Europe, on the top floor.
Between Sips on Saturday and the citywide Suppers event on Sunday, more than $500,000 was raised for DC Central Kitchen and Martha's Table. "This has become such a big part of the community as a whole," said Anders Hyde, who leads the Sips & Suppers volunteer committee. "When you go to an event like Sips, which started as a house cocktail party—and now it covers the entirety of the Newseum—it's pretty incredible." –Photos by Tony Brown

Pronounced roo-sahn. A grape varietal used in the production of white wine. Originating in the Rhône region of France, the varietal is also grown in the Tuscany region of Italy, the Languedoc, the Rousillon, and (most recently) California in the United States. It is vinified as a varietal (most often in California) and is a popular player in Rhône blends. Producers blend Roussanne to impart acidity and add delicacy and finesse to a wine. As well as being one of the varietal used in Hermitage Blanc, it is also one of the four white grapes allowed in the red wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The Roussanne is blended with the Marsanne varietal to produce Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, St. Joseph, and St. Péray.
Also known as: Bergeron; There's also a pink variation known as "Roussanne du Var" that is used in many of the Rhône region lower quality wines.
Characteristics: An exotic, delicate, rich, and refined white wine. Flavors of lemon, and citrus. May exhibit a bit of earthiness and a waxy texture and the aroma of wild flowers or herbal tea.
Ageing: Has the ability of graceful ageing for decades.
Serving Temperature: Serve at a temperature of 50º-55º F.
Food pairing: Bacon, Cajun fish, Cajun gumbo, calzone, cannelloni with ricotta, garlic chicken, chicken chow mein, Chinese cuisine with shrimp, won ton soup, vegetable couscous, crab cakes, creole, deviled eggs, quiche, escargots, smoked fish, spanakopita, hummus, chicken Tandoori, goose and chicken pâté, potato salad, Caesar salad, smoked salmon, smoked shellfish, cheese soufflé, and chicken tajines.

on Sunday, December 16th
14h, Friesenplatz Cologne
With barely rising numbers of asylum seekers in Germany this autumn, there is the well-known reflex of discrimination, hate campaigns, scenarios of crises, resistance and hasty deportations. This we cannot accept.
For 7 months self-organized refugees have been protesting against their isolation and deprivation of rights in Germany and Europe. They began with a hunger strike in Würzburg, after the suicide of one of theirs, and in September started a march of 600 km to Berlin in order to be listened to and to achieve promises from politicians in power which enable them to live a life in freedom and dignity. But the struggle is hard: In spite of massive support in other German and European places, in spite of broad media coverage and single offers of talks, their personal situation is aggravated by camping in cold tents in Berlin, by harassment and the danger of prosecution because of the breach of Residence Obligation and by negative official reactions.
We declare our solidarity with these protests and call for support on a

Machine learning uses sophisticated algorithms to "learn" from massive volumes of Big Data. The more data the algorithms can access, the more they can learn. Real-world machine learning examples are everywhere. Think of personalised product recommendations on Amazon, facial recognition on Facebook, or fastest route suggestions in Google Maps.
The simplest machine learning definition
What is a neural network?
Neural networks – aka artificial neural networks – are a type of machine learning that is loosely based on how neurons work in the human brain. They are computer programs that use multiple layers of nodes (or "neurons") operating in parallel to learn things, recognise patterns, and make decisions in a human-like way.
What is deep learning?
Deep learning is a "deep" neural network that includes many layers of neurons and a huge volume of data. This advanced type of machine learning can solve complex, non-linear problems – and is responsible for AI breakthroughs such as natural language processing (NLP), personal digital assistants, and self-driving cars.
Supervised vs. unsupervised learning
Supervised learning algorithms are trained using data that includes the correct answers. They build models that map the data to the answers – and then use these models for future processing. Unsupervised algorithms learn from data without being given the correct answers. They use large, diverse datasets to self-improve.
Machine learning best practices for business
5 machine learning lessons from fast learners
Explore the five key traits of machine learning leaders. These "fast learners" are using the technology to significantly improve performance across a range of business functions – from HR and finance to marketing and logistics.
The benefits of machine learning in business
Faster decisions
Machine learning algorithms can prioritize and automate decision making. They can also flag opportunities and smart actions that should be taken immediately – so you can achieve the best results.
Artificial intelligence doesn't just look at historical data. It can process real-time inputs – so you can adjust on the fly. Think of cars that can automatically stop before rear-ending another vehicle.
Algorithmic business
An "algorithmic business" uses advanced machine learning algorithms to achieve a high level of automation. Making the shift can pave the way for innovative new business models, products, and services.
Deeper insights
Machine learning can analyse big, complex, and streaming data, and find insights – including predictive insights – that are beyond human capabilities. It can then trigger actions based on those insights.
With smart, machine learning-supported business processes, you can dramatically improve efficiency. Plan and forecast accurately, automate tasks, reduce costs, and even eliminate human error.
Better outcomes
From triggering smart actions based on new opportunities and risks, to accurately predicting the results of a decision before it is made – machine learning can help you drive better business outcomes.
Machine learning use cases in key sectors
Manufacturers collect a huge amount of data from plant sensors and the Internet of Things – which is perfect for machine learning. Computer vision and anomaly detection algorithms are used for quality control – and others are used
for everything from predictive maintenance and demand forecasting to powering new services.
Few industries are better suited for machine learning than finance – given its high data volumes and historical records. Algorithms are used for trading stocks, approving loans, detecting fraud, assessing risks, and underwriting insurance. They're even used for "robo advising" customers and aligning portfolios to user goals.
Machine learning algorithms can process more data and spot more patterns than any team of researchers or doctors, no matter how many hours they put in. From medical image analysis and early cancer detection, to drug development and robot-assisted surgery – the machine learning possibilities in healthcare are endless.
Machine learning research
We've built a global partnership network with top universities such as MIT, Stanford, NYU, and the University of Amsterdam to explore the future of machine learning and advance the technology for business. Through this collaboration, we focus on a variety of machine learning research topics – and work on solving open AI challenges in a range of industries. This large pool of expertise helps us keep pace with the latest machine learning trends and deliver new techniques in the context of SAP solutions.

text: Vertumnus and Pomona is undoubtedly Jean Ranc's greatest work. This beautiful painting depicts the effort of the god of gardens and orchards, Vertumnus, to woo the notoriously indifferent goddess of fruit trees, Pomona. Disguised as an old woman, Vertumnus lures Pomona into his trust with the story of a suitor who commits suicide, traumatised by the lack of attention from a beautiful, but intractable woman. The work was painted by the Montpellier-born artist shortly before his departure for Spain, where he developed a successful, life-long career as a portrait painter. Ranc's training as a portrait painter is certainly apparent in the delicate treatment of the faces of his subjects and, more so, in the exquisitely rendered fabrics. The painting is also significant for the manner in which it presents a mythological narrative and its moral subtext in an entirely contemporary manner, as indicated in Pomona's radiant, silky dress and parasol.

Yes, it's normal. It's also completely understandable if you find it frustrating.
When your child protests all your efforts to get him to sleep or eat, it's almost surreal to see him willingly take a nap for the babysitter or happily eat mashed peas spooned up by Daddy. Try not to take it personally — this could even be a sign that you and your baby have bonded well.
"It's actually a compliment," says Concord, California, naturopathic doctor Tara Levy. "The more comfortable a child is with their parent or primary caregiver, the more they act out, because they trust you'll be there for them no matter what they do. So it's sweet, but no fun for you."
Levy says the phenomenon is "unbelievably common" and very annoying for parents of older kids who come to her seeking advice on their children's tantrums. "Of course, the child is a perfect angel in my office," Levy says.
She adds that parents may notice this behavior especially after a day of daycare or, later, preschool or school. "Your child works hard to hold it together all day in an environment where he's not totally comfortable," Levy explains. "Then he gets home and lets it all out."
Of course, consult your child's doctor if he seems unusually stressed or tired or shows signs of behavior problems at home or elsewhere.
Are you having the opposite problem? Find out what to do if your baby is fussy or upset when you drop him off at daycare.

FDA moves morning-after pill sales over the counter
Buyers must be at least 15
The Food and Drug Administration has announced that emergency contraception, also known as "Plan B One Step" or the morning-after pill, will be available over-the-counter to anyone 15 or older.
The FDA made the decision just days before a court-imposed deadline to lift all age restrictions for it.
The decision also means that emergency contraception can be sold on shelves beside spermicides or women's health care products. Customers who want to buy it will have to show a identification to prove their age.
Mary Kay Culp of Kansans for Life said she's heard from a lot of people who aren't necessarily part of the pro-life movement who said they are outraged by the decision.
"There's a reason drugs are prescribed by a medical physician, so that someone is aware that a, they took it, and b, there's some sort of analysis that they're OK medically to take it. Putting all the moral issues aside, it's a danger and it's using little girls as guinea pigs," she said.
Supporters said they don't think the change goes far enough. The Center for Reproductive Rights said that although it may reduce delays for some young women to access Plan B, it's still not solving all of the problems.
"It does nothing to address the significant barriers that far too many women of all ages will still find," the group said.
The FDA has not yet said how soon the changes will happen at pharmacies.
Half the nation's pregnancies every year are unintended, and doctors groups say more access to morning-after pills could cut those numbers. The pills contain higher doses of regular contraceptives, and if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, can cut the chances of pregnancy by up to 89 percent. But it works best if taken in the first 24 hours.
The pill is not the same as the more controversial RU-486, which is designed to induce an abortion.

Mark Steven Kirk, 53, is the junior U.S. Senator from Illinois and a member of the Republican Party. Before that, he represented Illinois' 10th congressional district for nine years in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Well educated, being a graduate of Cornell University, the London School of Economics, and Georgetown University Law Center, Kirk practiced law throughout the 1980s and 1990s. In 1989, he joined the U.S. Navy Reserve as a Direct Commission Officer in Intelligence; in 1999, he was recalled to active duty for the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, then Operation Northern Watch in Iraq in 2000. He remains a member of the Navy Reserve, now holding the rank of Commander.
In January 2012, Kirk suffered a massive stroke and was hospitalized. Although his physicians had expected long-term physical impairments, albeit not cognitive ones, on January 3, 2013, Kirk returned to work as Senator in Washington, D.C. (see photo below).
In his first in-depth interview since he suffered the massive stroke nearly a year ago, Kirk recounts a near-death experience in which he saw three Angels standing at the foot of his bed.
Kerry Lester reports for the Daily Herald, Jan. 2, 2013, that days after Kirk had suffered an ischemic stroke on Jan. 21, 2012, he awoke to find himself lying in a hospital bed in Northwestern Memorial Hospital's Intensive Care Unit, hooked up to monitors and tubes. His doctors had put him in a coma and performed several surgeries, temporarily removing a 4-by-8 inch portion of skull to allow his brain to swell and heal.
But Kirk remembered "the dream" he had while in a coma:
Three Angels stood at the foot of his hospital bed and asked Kirk, "You want to come with us?"
"No," he told them. "I'll hold off."
Kirk's life and outlook would be dramatically changed, the stroke serving as a defining moment that he said deepened his faith and altered his sense of purpose.
The goal-driven senator toiled through the physical therapy sessions at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago that left him exhausted, sore and, at times, nauseated. "I kept imagining going back to work," Kirk said, "and the irreducible physical amount of effort I had to put in."
He now has his daily commute to the Senate floor plotted down to the last detail. "Leave the elevator, turn right, walk into the chamber, up three stairs," Kirk said. "That area is open to the public and there are lots of reporters there and flip phones. I figured I'm going to have to get this right."
Kirk's stroke — caused by a blocked artery — occurred on the right side of his brain, which affects movement on his left side. Dr. Richard Fessler, who operated on Kirk, said the senator was fortunate the stroke did not occur on the left side, which deals with cognitive abilities to speak, understand and think. Today, all of the blood clots in his body are gone, including one in his left leg that could have triggered another stroke or pulmonary embolism.
In a statement in late December, Dr. Fessler said Kirk's recovery was "remarkable and exceeds my expectations. He remains the core person that he was before the stroke. His thought process is normal, and his mental state remains sharp. As I have said from the beginning, when he returns to the Senate he will be fully capable of performing his official duties."
Kirk attributes much of his recovery to his medical team's experience and skill. "The only reason I'm doing so well (is) this wasn't the first rodeo for my doctors and nurses. The story of my recovery was the story of medical professionals who didn't complicate problems."
Although Kirk now speaks clearly, though more softly, slowly and deliberately, gone is his previous rapid-fire speech, punctuating key points with an energetic bounce on the balls of his feet. He now considers himself a "disabled American." His left side has suffered partial paralysis, causing him to use a four-pronged cane. He has regained little use of his left arm, and is blind in one quadrant of his left eye.
Just a day after his arrival in Washington, D.C., Kirk appeared at a holiday party at his Hart Senate office, making the long walk down the fifth floor hallway with the help of his cane. For efficiency, he will be pushed in a wheelchair around the Capitol complex.
Kirk does not pretend that life is the same. He calls the stroke "the hardest thing I've ever overcome and the biggest lesson in life I have ever learned by a country mile."
"I would say that I definitely became much more religious," Kirk said. "They say there are no atheists in foxholes, and this stroke put me into a very deep foxhole. Yet, that feeling of faith sustained me, so I have no feelings of anger or regret."
A Bible passage from the book of Matthew in which Jesus gives the Sermon on the Mount serves as a daily source of reflection, reminding Kirk to place his trust in a higher power.
I think Senator Kirk — like all the Congress critters on Capitol Hill — is darn lucky to receive the excellent health care he did and still does, which enabled him to survive and recover from his massive stroke. Congress, as always, have exempted themselves from Obamacare as from all legislation they pass, and will retain their present healthcare plan. I hope Sen. Kirk uses his second chance at life to overturn Obamacare.
One last thing, Sen. Kirk.
Coma is a state of unconsciousness and unresponsiveness, in which the patient lies with eyes closed, cannot be aroused, and has no awareness of self.
You don't "dream" while in a coma.

After my praise of Keith Olbermann in this previous post, this armchair quarterback of leftism on MSNBC has interminably and axiomatically persisted in his diligent effort to annoy me by making a molehill out of a fairly sizable mountain.
Yesterday saw the announcement of criminal charges brought against six men–all Muslims, all foreign born, three of whom were illegal-aliens–accused of plotting attacks against U.S. military personnel at Fort Dix army base in New Jersey. Almost immediately, the politically correct commonwealth, including CAIR, MPAC, and other Muslim American propaganda automatons, rose up in unison to warn the ignorant and infantile public not to jump to conclusions about Islam as a violence-based faith, while at the same time talking out of the other side of their mouths in praise of the police action.
Additionally, many in public office and the press, including Bush mouthpiece Tony Snow, who encompasses both as Press Secretary, made certain to alleviate any resulting fears within the trembling masses of American citizenry by clearly stating that these six men were not affiliated with any international terror organizations up to and including Al Qaeda.
And this matters because…? To the general public: It matters not one infinitesimal grain of sand that these men had no connection to "international terror organizations" or Al Qaeda. It doesn't matter if they failed to receive an authentic fatwa ruling from an Islamic religious leader justifying (really, in their minds they needed little justification) their jihadist ambitions by attacking Fort Dix. Does the fact the media felt the overwhelming need to quickly rush forward and explicitly point out such an inanity somehow diminished the threat of murder and destruction planned by the six Muslims? Of course not. In fact, this is actually more disturbing because of the home-grown nature of their undertaking. They had no backing or operational support from any other establishment.
While their lack of tact (and apparent intelligence) was evidenced in their need to get a duplicate copy of their home-made jihadist video thereby alerting an employee at the local photomart who, understandably alarmed by the weaponry used in the video and the cries of "Allahu Akbar" by the very dolts who took the video in for duplication, the fact remains these men would have attempted to commit the acts they set out to do regardless of the outcome.
Training, affiliation, and monetary means do nothing to promote a lack of will in those guided by an ideology, and the ideologues who accompany it, that teaches war against the infidels until subjugation and sharia law persist throughout the land and eventually the world. This is what genuinely needs routing and exposure and a lot of good was done yesterday.
Of course, as stated above, there was some bad. Notably from Keith Olbermann on MSNBC's Countdown program. In it, Olbermann shamefully minimized the danger the accused would have instigated were they not stopped by law enforcement officials. Interestingly, Olbermann referred to the situation as "credulous" as in the American public is far too gullible in their readiness to accept the hazards these six men represented. Instead, he chose to label them simply as morons (thankfully they were) in a footnote piece just before he broke for commercial.
Keith Olbermann, you sir are today's WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD!

Store Clerk Helps Feds Bust 6 in Alleged 'Jihad' Plot to Kill U.S. Soldiers at Fort Dix
Tuesday, May 08, 2007
MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. — Ever since Sept. 11, U.S. authorities have asked the public to be vigilant, urging, "If you see something, say something."
In January 2006, a store clerk in New Jersey saw something.
A group of men had brought him a video showing them firing assault weapons and chanting, "God is Great!" in Arabic. They wanted him to transfer the footage onto a DVD.
So he said something, calling the Mount Laurel Police Department, who in turn contacted the FBI.
And thus began the downfall of one of the most thoroughly infiltrated and documented group of terrorism suspects in recent history — six men from Yugoslavia and the Middle East who were charged Tuesday with plotting to slaughter scores of American soldiers at Fort Dix and perhaps other military installations in the Northeast.
FBI agent J.P. Weis saluted the unidentified Mount Laurel store clerk as the "unsung hero" of the case.
"That's why we're here today — because of the courage and heroism of that individual," the FBI agent said.
The suspects' images and words were captured on more than 50 audio and video recordings. Their comings and goings were recorded by law enforcement agents who monitored the alleged plot for 16 months, hoping more terror ties would become apparent.
The defendants, all men in their 20s, include a pizza deliveryman suspected of using his job to scout out Fort Dix. Their goal was "to kill as many American soldiers as possible" in attacks with mortars, rocket-propelled grenades and guns, prosecutors said.
"Today we dodged a bullet. In fact, when you look at the type of weapons that this group was trying to purchase, we may have dodged a lot of bullets," Weis said. "We had a group that was forming a platoon to take on an army. They identified their target, they did their reconnaissance. They had maps. And they were in the process of buying weapons. Luckily, we were able to stop that."
Authorities said there was no direct evidence connecting the men to any international terror organizations such as Al Qaeda. But several of them said they were ready to kill and die "in the name of Allah," according to court papers.
The six men — five of whom lived in Cherry Hill, a Philadelphia suburb about 20 miles from Fort Dix — were arrested Monday night while trying to buy AK-47 assault weapons, M-16s and other weapons from an FBI informant, authorities said.
"This is what law enforcement is supposed to do in the post-9/11 era — stay one step ahead of those who are attempting to cause harm to innocent American citizens," U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie said.
In addition to plotting the attack on Fort Dix, the defendants spoke of attacking a Navy installation in Philadelphia during the annual Army-Navy football game and conducted surveillance at other military installations in the region, prosecutors said.
One defendant, Eljvir Duka, was recorded as saying: "In the end, when it comes to defending your religion, when someone … attacks your religion, your way of life, then you go jihad."
"It doesn't matter to me whether I get locked up, arrested or get taken away," another defendant, Serdar Tatar, was alleged to have said. "Or I die, it doesn't matter. I'm doing it in the name of Allah."
They appeared in federal court Tuesday in Camden and were ordered held without bail for a hearing Friday. Five were charged with conspiracy to kill U.S. military personnel; the sixth was charged with aiding and abetting illegal immigrants in obtaining weapons.
Four of the men were born in the former Yugoslavia, one was born in Jordan and one came from Turkey, authorities said. All had lived in the United States for years. Three were in the United States illegally; two had green cards allowing them to stay in this country permanently; and the sixth is a U.S. citizen.
One defendant, Mohamad Ibrahim Shnewer, spoke of using rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons to kill at least 100 soldiers, according to court documents.
"My intent is to hit a heavy concentration of soldiers," he was quoted as saying. "You hit four, five or six Humvees and light the whole place (up) and retreat completely without any losses."
The men trained by playing paintball in the woods in New Jersey and taking target practice at a firing range in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, where they had rented a house, authorities said.
They often watched terror training videos, clips featuring Usama bin Laden, a tape containing the last will and testament of some of the Sept. 11 hijackers, and tapes of armed attacks on U.S. military personnel, erupting in laughter when one plotter noted that a Marine's arm was blown off in an ambush, authorities said.
Asked if those arrested had any links to Al Qaeda, White House spokesman Tony Snow said it appears "there is no direct evidence of a foreign terrorist tie."
The FBI's Weis said the U.S. is seeing a "brand-new form of terrorism," involving smaller, more loosely defined groups that may not be connected to Al Qaeda but are inspired by its ideology.
"These homegrown terrorists can prove to be as dangerous as any known group, if not more so. They operate under the radar," Weis said.
According to court documents, the video that the store clerk found disturbing depicted 10 young men in their early 20s "shooting assault weapons at a firing range … while calling for jihad and shouting in Arabic 'Allah Akbar' (God is great)." The 10 included six of those arrested, authorities said.
Within months, the FBI had managed to infiltrate the group with two informants, according to court documents.
One of the suspects, Tatar, worked at his father's pizzeria and made deliveries to Fort Dix, using the opportunity to scout out the base for an attack, authorities said.
"Clearly, one of the guys had an intimate knowledge of the base from having been there delivering pizzas," Christie said.
The men also allegedly conducted surveillance at other area military installations, including Fort Monmouth in New Jersey, Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, and a Philadelphia Coast Guard station.
Besides Shnewer, Tatar and Duka, the other three men were identified in court papers as Dritan Duka, Shain Duka and Agron Abdullahu.
Fort Dix is used to train soldiers, particularly reservists. It also housed refugees from Kosovo in 1999.
The arrests stirred renewed worry among New Jersey's Muslim community. Hundreds of Muslim men from New Jersey were rounded up and detained in the months after the Sept. 11 attacks, but none were connected to that plot.
"If these people did something, then they deserve to be punished to the fullest extent of the law," said Sohail Mohammed, a lawyer who represented scores of detainees after the 2001 attacks. "But when the government says `Islamic militants,' it sends a message to the public that Islam and militancy are synonymous."
"Don't equate actions with religion," he said.

The Subaru Outback wagon is a superb vehicle on dirt and gravel roads, in the snow, heavy rain, or anything that calls of traction and sure-footedness. Equipped with all-wheel drive, the Outback is ready for active outdoor use.
Outback was redesigned for the 2010 model year. Changes since then have been modest. 2012 Subaru Outback models offer an Alloy Wheel Package with fog lights and cold-weather equipment. Audio systems have been upgraded on 2012 Outback Premium and 2012 Outback Limited models.
The Outback suspension, transmission and all-wheel-drive system are geared for control, comfort and stability on gravel roads and in inclement weather. All Subaru models are all-wheel drive, aiming for sure handling and traction in marginal conditions. They are most popular in the New England, Pacific Northwest, and Rocky Mountain states. The engines feature horizontally opposed pistons, the so-called boxer layout that Porsche also uses. This results in strong torque for accelerating up hills while helping maintain a low center of gravity for improved handling.
We found the Outback to be an exceptionally capable car on unpaved forest roads. Extensive driving on Montana's back roads revealed that its tough, supple suspension could handle rough roads, and its all-wheel drive performed well in all sorts of slippery conditions. Out on the open highway the Outback is smooth and comfortable and feels like a regular car. During a week of nasty Pacific Northwest winter, and it gave us a sense of security like few cars can, confident that with the Outback under us we could breeze through whatever weather we were dealt.
Two engines are available, balancing efficiency and performance. Best government-rated fuel economy is an EPA-estimated 22/29 mpg City/Highway for the 170-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder with the continuously variable transmission (CVT). For maximum performance, a 256-hp 3.6-liter six-cylinder is available, mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. Neither engine uses forced induction or turbocharging to achieve its rated output, and both run on regular unleaded fuel.
Four-wheel independent suspension is standard, with MacPherson struts up front and double wishbones in the rear. The wishbone suspension delivers a smooth ride and enables a larger rear cargo area than would be possible with a strut-type rear suspension.
The Outback emphasizes cargo carrying, with large doors that swing open wide, and good interior dimensions for cargo room.
The 2012 Subaru Outback is available with a choice of two engines, three transmissions, with Base, Limited or Premium trim levels.
Outback 2.5i models ($23,295) come with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and 6-speed manual transmission or CVT ($24,295). Standard equipment for 2.5i includes cloth upholstery, manual air conditioning with air filter, six-way manually adjustable driver seat, four-way manually adjustable passenger seat, 100-watt AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio with four speakers and auxiliary jack, remote keyless entry, power locks, power windows, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, three power outlets, anti-theft alarm, 16-inch steel wheels, and 215/70R16 tires. A new alloy wheel package ($995) also includes fog lights and an All-Weather Package (two-stage heated front seats, heated exterior mirrors and windshield wiper de-icer).
Outback 3.6R ($28,295) comes with the 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine and 5-speed automatic transmission. Aside from the larger engine and automatic transmission, standard equipment on the 3.6 R is similar. It does come standard with 225/60R17 tires on 17-inch alloy wheels, and a few more interior amenities. No options are offered.
Premium trim for the Outback 2.5i manual ($24,795), 2.5i CVT ($25,795) and 3.6R ($29,495) upgrades each of them to a 10-way power driver seat, fog lights, leather-wrapped steering wheel, 17-inch alloy wheels with 225/60R17 tires and other features. New for 2012 is a six-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo with Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS), Bluetooth audio streaming and hands-free phone connectivity, iPod control capability, and a USB port in addition to the auxiliary input jack. Options include the All-Weather Package ($500), also available bundled with a moonroof ($1,945). Also available is the new harman/kardon stereo from the Limited (see below), but it must be combined with the All-Weather Package ($1,795), a moonroof ($1,945), or both ($3,240).
Limited trim for the Outback 2.5i ($28,695) and the 3.6R ($31,695) includes leather upholstery, automatic dual-zone climate control, power passenger seat, woodgrain interior trim, Bluetooth, heated mirrors, heated seats, and a windshield wiper de-icer. The CVT becomes standard, too, on the 2.5i. For 2012, the existing 440-watt harman/kardon AM/FM/XM/CD/MP3 audio with nine speakers loses its CD changer (it still plays single CDs) but gains HD radio, RBDS, Bluetooth audio streaming, XM Satellite Radio, a 4.3-inch LCD display, and all the connectivity features of the new Premium-trim system. The moonroof becomes available as a stand-alone ($1,445) or packaged with navigation ($2,995).
Safety features include anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution, quick brake assist, traction control, VDC electronic stability control, all-wheel drive, LATCH child safety locks, rear-door child locks.
The Subaru Outback is essentially a station wagon version of the midsize Subaru Legacy sedan. The Outback suspension is raised slightly for better ground clearance. Their kinship is evident at the front end, despite different grilles and other distinguishing details.
The Outback has an alert, bold look, with long, hawk-eye headlamps mounted higher than the upright grille. Functional side cladding and rocker panels are a reminder this Subaru is intended to be at home on gravel roads. (And, indeed, it is.) At the rear, compound tail lamps blend into a broad rear hatch with a large rear window, integrating the design and helping to define the high beltline that keeps the Outback from being visually top-heavy.
A roof rack is standard. The rack's crossbars are stowed in the roof rails for reduced wind noise, and can be swung into position when needed. The rack, which is designed to fit Subaru's line of roof-rack accessories, adds about two inches of height to the Outback. The optional Power Moonroof subtracts about two inches of front headroom.
Outback 3.6R models are visually identified by 17-inch wheels and larger, 225/60R17 tires, although four-cylinder Outbacks can be upgraded with the same wheel/tire combination by selecting Limited or Premium trim.
Outback offers generous headroom, making it a good choice for tall drivers. Despite its obvious kinship with the Legacy, the Outback stands 4.6 inches taller, not counting the roof rack, and this translates into an extra half-inch of headroom in front and nearly 2 more inches in the rear. If that doesn't seem like as much of a difference as it should be, remember that much of the Outback's extra height is taken up by ground clearance. Otherwise the passenger-carrying dimensions of the two vehicles are absolutely identical, which is to say generous. Both surrender the same 2-plus inches of front seat headroom to the optional moonroof.
The Outback models we drove had Premium trim and the better, 10-way driver's seat. The standard seats might not be as adjustable, but they are well designed and the cabin feels roomy, even after a long day of driving. There is a standard cargo tray, under floor storage, and grocery bag hooks behind the rear seats.
The dash and cockpit are built around a sporty, four-dial instrument panel and a contemporary upswept center stack. The instrument panel includes a multi-information display that indicates outside temperature, fuel consumption, time, and warning functions for seatbelts and passenger air bags. The transmission gear readout is digital. The steering wheel, a three-spoke design, has four large buttons to control the audio system and cruise control. When equipped with an automatic transmission, paddle shifters are located behind the wheel. Taken as a whole, the interior is clean and contemporary, without being excessively ornate.
The parking brake is controlled electronically via a button to the left of the steering wheel, and has a Hill Hold feature.
The new Navigation option for Limited, which integrates with the harman/kardon stereo, includes an 8-in. wide-format display screen, voice command, rear vision camera, and Homelink transceiver. Outbacks with the moonroof also come with a rear-vision camera and Homelink.
We drove the Subaru Outback on highways, back roads and forest service trails in and around Missoula, Montana, for two days, the drove another Outback for a week in the Pacific Northwest. Our Montana route took us along the Blackfoot River and north to the Bob Marshall Wilderness area, and eventually along a series of dirt trails that lead to the Continental Divide, where we could look out over the mountains, hills and valleys of western Montana. We covered more than 200 miles, splitting time between a 2.5i with the CVT and a 3.6R with a 5-speed automatic transmission.
Most of the time, driving a Subaru Outback feels about the same as driving any other family sedan, but with a slightly taller stance and longer-travel suspension. Because of its low center of gravity and all-wheel-drive system, there is a distinctive rally car quality seldom seen in other crossovers and SUVs.
It's the suspension that allows the Outback to travel unpaved roads comfortably at higher speeds with excellent control. It cushions the Outback on cracked roadway surfaces, highway bumps, and on dirt and gravel roads.
The suspension also does a good job in corners thanks partly to stabilizer bars front and rear. It invites spirited driving and rewards playful cornering with sure-footed grip and a nice, steady set in every corner. The suspension tolerates a certain amount of driver error with grace. Enter a corner too fast, or come up on an unforeseen pothole too quickly and there is minimal impact, shudder or rebound. Should a tire drop into a pothole or eroded washout, the tire on the opposite side stays flat and in full contact with the surface.
The brakes are nicely balanced, with good pedal feel, so a driver falls into rhythm as the Outback squats into corners and rockets outward.
The Outback is quick in the dirt and has relatively high ground clearance. It is not intended as a low-speed off-road crawler, however, and it does not have a low-range transfer case. Still, especially with the six-cylinder engine, there is a surprising amount of torque at low rpm, and good traction. To underscore the Outback's capability, Subaru arranged an off-road hill climb comparison with two other all-wheel-drive vehicles, a Ford Explorer AWD and a Toyota Venza. While neither of the other two could make it more than halfway up the long steep hill with anyone driving, every Outback was able to steadily churn and grind its way to the top, no matter who was driving.
Later we drove an Outback 3.6R Limited in an event called Mudfest, at the DirtFish Rally School's 315-acre facility in Snoqualmie, Washington, where the Outback clearly proved the value of its effortless traction, controllability and even ground clearance, in deep slippery mud.
Back on the highway, the Outback becomes something more like a station wagon than an SUV. It corners more precisely with less body roll, and it rides at least as comfortably as other crossover vehicles we have driven. Compared to utility wagons like the Toyota Venza, the Subaru feels especially solid on the roadway, with perhaps slightly more road noise coming from all-season tires, but remains a restful and relaxing vehicle to drive at legal speeds. The reduced NVH is partly because of the addition of framed glass and better sealing around the doors. Still, to our ear, it is not as quiet as some of the newest light-duty crossover wagons.
Competent on the road and downright sporty on dirt, the Outback 2.5i with the 2.5-liter engine and CVT feels a tad underpowered on the highway. Climbing mountain highway passes took more throttle, and there is a little more noise from the four-cylinder engine.
The more powerful 3.6-liter engine allowed for steady acceleration uphill and gave us ready passing power at highway speeds, but gives up fuel economy in the process. Neither drivetrain showed any appreciable tendency to generate torque steer.
Because of the different types of transmissions, there are three types of all-wheel-drive systems used across the Outback line. Vehicle dynamics and performance would be about the same across the board, but there are subtle differences.
With the 6-speed manual transmission in the 2.5i, there is a locking center differential that can distribute power evenly from front to rear in a 50/50 ratio. This would likely be the best-traction option in the worst of circumstances, such as an icy road covered with blowing snow.
The other two AWD systems actively control power distribution in response to driving conditions; they normally bias power toward the rear wheels to reduce torque steer and enhance agility. These systems are best at compensating for ice patches and wet spots on otherwise dry roads. Both systems are augmented by electronic traction control, which as we saw at the hillclimb, does a nice job of balancing power distribution as needed.
By combining a low-mounted engine with all-wheel-drive, the Outback conveys an unusual sense of security and well-being. It is, in the end, a satisfying machine to operate. We found that the more we drove it, the more we liked it.
The Subaru Outback is a thoughtful, well-balanced all-wheel-drive wagon that has unique character. It provides plenty of utility in a modern package, and the optional flat-six engine adds to its on-road performance. It remains faithful to the character attributes Subaru has always offered, something current owners will appreciate.
John Stewart contributed to this NewCarTestDrive.com report after his test drive of the Outback near Missoula, Montana; Sam Moses reported after driving the Outback in the Pacific Northwest.

Restaurants experimenting with pay-in-advance tickets
With restaurant patrons increasingly jumping on the Internet to make reservations, some high-end eateries here and across the country are adding a new tech wrinkle: having their clientele pay for their meal in advance using an online ticketing system similar to what's used for sporting events and concerts.
Among those adopting the pre-paid concept is Coi, in San Francisco's North Beach district, which offers fare ranging from spiced eggplant soup with pole beans, charred okra, fermented chile and flowering cilantro to wild king salmon with crayfish bordelaise, lovage and fennel pollen.
For reservations as of Sept. 1, Coi's customers will buy a dinner ticket that costs $145 to $195 - depending on the time and day - plus tax and an 18 percent service charge. The ticket can't be exchanged for a different night and there are no refunds if the person fails to show up. But chef-owner David Patterson said his customers seem happy with the idea, which he believes will be a big boost to his business.
"We've gotten much busier and the problem with no-shows and last-minute cancellations has gotten a bit worse," he said. "It's expensive for the restaurant and also for the guests," because the added costs are passed onto his customers. Instead of dealing with reservation headaches, he added, "hopefully this will allow us to improve the quality of the restaurant because we'll be able to focus all of our attention on the people who actually come in."
Ticketing in advance is a new twist on the growing popularity of online restaurant reservations.
Since its inception in 1998, San Francisco-based OpenTable says it has seated more than 575 million dinners at more than 31,000 restaurants in all 50 states. Other websites also have popped up that arrange reservations for a fee at restaurants with last-minute cancellations or other openings. Among them is Table8, which charges $25 to find a table for four at 17 San Francisco eateries. It plans to soon connect customers with up to 30 Bay Area restaurants and operate in at least a dozen cities, said CEO Peter Goettner.
But ticketing takes the industry a significant step further.
The only other Bay Area restaurant known to be embracing the idea is Lazy Bear, located in San Francisco's Mission district. It charges $110 per person, plus tax and tip for such menu items as squab with Carolina gold rice grits, burnt cabbages, persimmon butter and chanterelles.
Owner-chef David Barzelay, who is moving the restaurant from what he called "a weird warehouse" to nicer quarters nearby, said he had been using a complicated lottery to decide who on his growing list of customers could get a table. But with that system, "it's pretty inconvenient for guests and there is a lot of uncertainty about whether they can get in." Having them pay in advance for a meal ticket on his website is much simpler for them and his staff, he said.
Coi and Lazy Bear are using a ticketing system created by Nick Kokonas at his Chicago restaurants, Next and Alinea.
Kokonas said he came up with the idea in 2011 after losing more than $260,000 on Alinea no-shows alone when he was taking reservations the old way. Now he said the concept - which he said makes most sense for places with limited seating and food that's high in demand - is slowly catching on at restaurants across the country, which pay him $695 to lease his ticketing program plus a monthly fee of about $40.
Among those experimenting with the system are Trois Mec in Los Angeles and Elizabeth Restaurant in Chicago. In addition, "we are currently selecting 15 to 20 restaurants nationwide and a few overseas" to test it out, Kokonas said.
How widespread advance-pay ticketing will become remains to be seen.
"There are a lot of cities that have high-end restaurants where it would work well," said Mary Chapman of Technomic, which tracks the industry, noting that sales of fine-dining establishments grew 7.2 percent in 2013 compared to 2012. But while it's likely ticketing "will expand over time," she said, "my sense is that it's going to be limited."
Restaurant consultant Aaron Allen agreed, adding that, "with restaurants it takes a long time to educate them on these new technologies."
But Kokonas considers his ticketing idea part of an inevitable trend.
"I think that fear of technology - or change more generally - is common when any new method comes along," he said. "Not so long ago I had to call a travel agent to book airline travel. Doing so online felt less personal. Now I can't really imagine calling every time I want to book a hotel, airlines, sports ticket, theater ticket, etc."
Unlike traditional reservations, the ticketing concept requires customers to pay for their meal in advance. And if they fail to show up, they don't get a refund. Customers go the restaurant's websites to pick a day and time for their meal, and pay for it then with a credit card. Some restaurants that have adopted the idea offer discounted prices for meals at non-peak times. At Coi in San Francisco, which is launching ticketing in September, prices vary from $145 to $195, depending on the time and day.
So far, Coi and Lazy Bear are the only San Francisco restaurants that have said they will be using ticketing. Chicago restaurateur Nick Kokonas hopes to have up to 20 other restaurants testing the system soon, but it's unclear if any will be in the Bay Area.

Amaro biding time to see whether Phils buy or sell
LOS ANGELES -- Ruben Amaro Jr. said Thursday he sees the Phillies taking their deadline decisions all the way to the July 31 Trade Deadline.
Thank some relatively mediocre play in the National League East for that.
"The only reason why I say that is because it's still really dicey," he said in the visitors' dugout at Dodger Stadium. "No one has really stepped out and gone crazy. We're only seven back. We had one streak where we've really played well and we've only had a fairly brief time where we've had our team on the field. We'll find out. I honestly think it's going to end up going to July 20 or 30 or somewhere around then when we'll decide which direction we're going to go."
The Phillies continued a 10-game road trip Thursday with their series opener against the Dodgers. The Dodgers have been playing better recently, winning five consecutive games. Following the Dodgers series, the Phillies play a three-game series in Pittsburgh. The Pirates entered the night tied with the Cardinals for the best record in baseball.
The Phillies finish their play before the All-Star break with a 10-game homestand against the Braves, Nationals and White Sox.
Since the Braves started the season 12-1, they are just 33-33. The Phillies are 32-33 in that same stretch, while the Nationals are 31-32.
"We all get spoiled," Amaro said. "We think that winning is just going to happen. We seem to forget that people have to perform for teams to win. It doesn't happen on paper. You can make predictions all you want. The fact of the matter is, people have to play and you have to be lucky. Some teams get unlucky and some teams don't get performance.
"Look at Cole Hamels. I would like somebody to tell me he would be 2-11. It's hard to imagine. Same thing with Cliff Lee last year. Baseball is an amazingly crazy game. I still think [Hamels] is one of the best left-handers in the game. It just hasn't happened for him this year, for whatever reason. Performance. Luck. Mojo. It's just a crazy game. We'd be talking about how you're going to improve this team to make this run. We'd be having totally different discussions if we had small tweaks in performance."

New to ChnLove, but seem to be hitting it off already.. need some input..
She lives in Nanning, and is a widow.. apparently reasonably well off, with a daughter in college in Germany.. I would have expected a fairly modest and traditional Chinese woman, which she is, but she is open about discussing sex (not in a crude way, but in a refreshing, honest manner; she raised the topic in the Admirer letter she sent).. we've traded 3 EMF mails, and seem to be hitting it off; she's learning English, and her letters are easy to read.
She's a little older than myself, but is still lovely (although how much of that is retouching is anyone's guess)..
Have I hit it lucky my first time out? She's the first lady I've contacted after being a browser for quite a while.. would appreciate guidance; it would be quite a while before I could visit (probably late Summer), but I'm interested enough to start pricing flights..
Hello all..
If you're new to Chnlove, or unsure if your question has been asked a bunch of times already, then this is the place for you.

Not long before my Mom passed away, she was admitted to Bayonne Medical Center. Â It was a trip she would not make it home from, and one that gave my family grey hairs along with some unwanted legal knowledge and stress. Â Thanks to a recent study that was published, I now see that out experience is not as isolated as I would hope (to shield others from the dreadful experience). Â According to the article posted on NBC News, Pulling the plug: ICU 'culture' key to life or death decision, how and how often a particular hospital chooses to authorize a DFLST (Decision to Forgo Life-Sustaining Therapy) varies greatly.
I guess this isn't really new, which is why things like Advanced Medical Directives (aka Living Wills) have become so prominent.  But I think the vast differences in percentages (from 3.5 percent on the low end to 20.6 percent), is really startling.  But as my family learned, if you or a loved one have an Advanced Medical Directive, give it a look over and make sure it really says and what you think it does, and leaves the power in the proper hands, because it is your life that is at stake.  Because as we learned the hard way, that decision could fall into the hands of somebody either incompetent or just "trigger happy" and all to willing to slap a DNR (Do-Not-Resuscitate) bracelet onto the patient or pull life saving equipment.  With my Mom, we actually had one of each (Side Note: Not that anybody can choose when to be ill, but be extra vigilant around the holidays when staff often has lots of young, inexperienced "house doctors" on staff, or fill-ins because of vacations).
My mother did in fact have an Advanced Medical Directive. but thanks to wording that took control from the children and put it in the hands of the doctors, "when 2 doctors concur" (the doctor lied and did not have the second agreeing opinion, but that is a whole other story) we had many sleepless nights and calls to attorney's to keep control of the situation.
Too many people have blind trust when it comes to doctors and hospitals, and just automatically assume, "they know best." Â This is simply not always the case, and even what is "the best for you" can vary from hospital to hospital. Â At the end of the day, it is your (or your loved ones) life, and sadly if that hospital or doctor is wrong, "My Bad" doesn't bring one back from the dead. Â Protect yourself. Â Have an Advanced Medical Directive so your wishes can be carried out, and be sure that it spells out exactly who has the power to act on your behalf, when and how. Â Your life just may depend on it.

San Diego Code-A-Thon Winners Combine Health, Technology
Eighteen teams – with names like "Predictably Well" and "The Flying Turtles" – squared off over the weekend with cash prizes at stake to convert health data into useful tools for the public in the San Diego County Code-a-Thon.
In the end, John Alexander's design for a mobile application that educates residents about the health of their communities along with resources to lead healthier lives – such as locations of gyms, supermarkets, farmers markets and health providers based on their location – took the top prize of $9,000.
"I liked the challenge of simplifying the data and presenting it so that the public can not only grasp it, but actually use it," said Alexander, a San Diego State University alum who now designs web applications for the military.
Code-a-Thon was hosted by the County of San Diego, Health 2.0 and the California HealthCare Foundation. Teams competed for $22,000 in prizes that was split among the top six proposals. The San Diego event was part of a national series of code-a-thons involving public data that took place over the weekend. The prize money was donated by the California Healthcare Foundation.
The event kicked off Saturday morning with an overview of San Diego County health data, primarily focusing on chronic conditions such as heart disease/stroke, cancer, type 2 diabetes and respiratory disease. These diseases, which in many cases are preventable, account for more than half of deaths in San Diego County and across the country.
"We challenged the participants to humanize the data that we have available and to develop applications that not only educate, but inspire residents to live healthier lives," said Nick Macchione, director of the County Health and Human Services Agency.
Teams worked all day Saturday and Sunday to develop their designs, which were presented to a panel of judges Sunday afternoon. Participants ranged from medical and science graduate students and data analysts to video game designers and tech-savvy teens.
Teams pitched everything from web applications that allowed cities in the region to challenge each other in health-based competitions to viral survey designs that educated participants about likely health issues based on how they responded to a series of questions.
"Code-a-Thon participants offered a breadth of innovative ideas to help policymakers and the public harness local data," said Andy Krackov, senior program officer with The California HealthCare Foundation. "We're grateful for all the hard work that the 18 teams put in to generate new uses for these important health data."
Wintriss Technical School students Max Sun, 14, and Macky Broido, 15, developed Grade My Health, an app that gives users a quick read on their health compared to the overall health of their community based on a number of factors. The design earned the team a runner-up award and $1,000.
June Clarke, lead teacher at The Wintriss Technical School, said the benefits of participating in the Code-A-Thon go beyond prize money.
"My students have developed quite a few video games," Clarke said. "But this was an opportunity to do a project that actually helps people, and we were really excited to be part of it."
The next step for organizers will be working with the winning designers to take their projects from prototype to final versions.
