The Grand S Pro is a good deal with a carrier agreement, but U.S. Cellular has other phones that are faster and more reliable.
You can buy the two smart devices from the carrier beginning today.
With a large sensor and high-quality lens, the RX10 promises great photo quality. But its feature set may not match what many folks are looking for.
If you miss having a zoom lens, but don't want to add too much bulk and weight to your travels, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX300 is a very good choice.
A luxury phone company doubles up on questionable taste by gold-plating an iPhone 5S and emblazoning it with Vladimir Putin's face.
Lenovo's stylish U300s Ultrabook is one of the best-looking Windows laptops we've seen and matches Apple's MacBook Air nearly spec for spec. The entry-level version is $100 less than Apple's, but that discount vanishes on the higher-end model.
If you're an existing 4G LTE U.S. Cellular customer, the ZTE Imperial is an excellent and cheap phone -- but new subscribers should explore all options and promotions.
For a limited time, new customers can earn a $300 debit card when signing up two more lines.
As the brick-and-mortar video rental chain struggles to keep up with today's digital landscape, it's forced to close hundreds of stores and possibly lay off thousands of workers.
It can't match some of its competition in the features department, but the Sony Cyber-shot HX300 still packs a powerful zoom lens and plenty of point-and-shoot punch.

On exhibit November 2, 2012 - Late 2014

The 1973 tour of China by the Philadelphia Orchestra marked an important milestone in relations between the United States and the People's Republic of China. Following on the heels of Richard Nixon's trip to visit Mao Zedong in 1972, the tour was a successful attempt at cultural diplomacy--the first visit to China by an American orchestra. In recognition of the fortieth anniversary of this historic tour, "Ormandy in China" reexamines the ten-day visit and places the tour in the context of the political and cultural climate of the time.

6th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium
on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age
Thinking Outside the Codex
Thursday, November 21 and Saturday, November 23, 2013
Free Library of Philadelphia and
the University of Pennsylvania
The 6th Annual Schoenberg Symposium will encourage participants to "think outside the codex" and turn the tables on traditional approaches to manuscript study. The conversation will begin with a focus primarily on instances of and responses to failure in the history of manuscript production and scholarship. By considering failures in manuscript design, production, reception, scholarship, and the digital humanities, we hope to provoke new questions and engender non-traditional approaches to the study of pre-modern manuscripts. In addition to a panel of speakers, the symposium will include four workshops offering hands-on exploration of problems and issues related to the study of manuscripts in the digital age.

Hidden Hands: Amanuenses and Authorship in Early Modern Europe
Ann Blair, Harvard University
Class of 1978 Pavilion, Kislak Center, Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center, sixth floor
Intellectual work in early Modern Europe was rarely performed alone, despite literary and iconographical representations to the contrary--scholars worked with others in many ways. In these lectures, Professor Blair focuses on the family members, students, and servants who served as amanuenses by helping an author or scholar in the process of composing and writing.

Seamus Heaney, 1939-2013
On exhibit September 27 - October 21, 2013
First floor (Next to the Kamin Gallery), Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center
In honor of the late Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney, the Penn Libraries is hosting a small display of his first editions held in the Rare Book & Manuscript Library collections. When Seamus Heaney died this past August, The New York Times noted that he "was often called the greatest poet since Yeats." Whether his work needs any such comparison is unclear. He was certainly one of the greatest poets of his own era and -- to the extent that anyone can predict -- his work has the strength and the beauty to go on being read as long as poetry in English is read at all.

The Top 10 things you miss about Final Cut are in Autodesk Smoke Part I
By Brian Mulligan | April 02, 2012
Recently, Shane Ross wrote a post on his Little Frog in High Def Blog about the 10 things he missed from Final Cut Pro 7. Shane is a well-respected freelance broadcast editor in Los Angeles. He has edited numerous programs for The History Channel, the Discovery Channel, SYFY, and more. Since the reboot of Final Cut as FCPX, Shane, like so many others has had to find other more reliable tools for the type of work that he does. So Shane's list of things he misses from FCP is compared and contrasted with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5(.5) and Avid Media Composer 6. As I read through his list, I compared them to the editing features in Smoke 2012. Here is how Smoke fairs with the others in terms of the features that Shane misses in the same order that he presented.
1. Resolution Independence: Shane liked that in FCP7 you could add an HD clip to an SD sequence, and it worked fine. And that it would retain the original resolution of the clip for repositioning. Premiere Pro also does this, but Avid will conform it to the sequence properties. Smoke actually does both. When you put a clip that doesn't match the sequence settings, Smoke will automatically add a Resize soft effect to the clip to conform it to the sequence. This resize can be set to frame the clip to fit the sequence in many ways. An SD 4x3 clip in HD can be set to Letterbox, with pillars, or full frame, for example. Now if you want the full resolution of the clip, you can add a different soft effect called AXIS. This will mute the Resize settings and give you the freedom to pan and scan or reposition the video as needed.
2. Audio Mixing on the Timeline: Shane misses the ability to adjust audio levels on clips via the keyboard. Neither Adobe, nor Avid can do it. Smoke can, in a way. When you add a GAIN effect to the clip, the gain amount numeric input box appears, and you can click in the box and then use keyboard arrows to raise the audio by 1db (default) or by any factor you input, say .5db or .02db. Smoke also has some extensive audio controls both at the clip level and the track level. One nice nice feature in Smoke is it will show you the audio waveforms with audio effects applied. So when you raise or lower the gain, the waveform increases and decreases visually. So at a glance you can see your audio levels compared to other clips and tracks.
3. Number of Audio Tracks: Shane like all of us editors, are dong more and more sound mixing, even if it's temporary. So having 48 audio channels is not unheard of. Smoke has 32 audible tracks, with up to 16 channels of output via the AJA Kona card. If you needed more, you can mix down your audio on your timeline at any point. But Smoke has more than enough audio to fit your needs. As well as Audio Timewarps, EQ, Compression, Reverb and Modulation effects. I hope Shane would be happy with that.
4. Ability to work with picture sizes at full resolution on the timeline without plugins: In reading Shane's comments I feel that this links back to point #1.
FCP and Adobe handle images at their native size on the timeline and so does Smoke. And Smoke can go higher than the 4000 pixel barrier that apparently crashes FCP.
5. Clip enable/disable: It seems Smoke and Avid work the same way in how you can move through vertical layers to see clip underneath. Where FCP and Adobe can mute video clips. Smoke does allow you to mute both audio and video tracks. You can mute effects at the clip level, like Color Correct, Axis, Timewarps, and Keying. And muting them doesn't nullify your renders.
You can also view any effected media as original source via the viewer controls without having to mute and unmute anything.

Nice post Brian
But at its current price point I rather suspect that Autodesk's Smoke could incorporate every clever feature in FCP, Avid and Adobe combined (if and where they don't have it already) ... and still pick up precious few of those customers. The broadcast industry has long grown used to a far far cheaper cost of entry.
The NAB2012 announcement sounds intriguing tho, theres certainly room for Autodesk to do something special.
Brian Mulligan: | April, 03, 2012
I agree. Autodesk is now teasing us with this.
So it does look like they have big plans for Smoke.
My point was to get people to look at Smoke as and editor, which I use everyday. Since the FCPX debacle, I keep hearing Avid, Adobe, Apple.
Even though the price point for Smoke is much different, I still think people should know that Smoke is an editor as well as finishing tool.

Woo hoo! Cosmo HQ were over the moon when our fave contestant James Arthur was crowned the winner of X Factor 2012 in the tension-ridden finale. His brand-new single 'Impossible' is available to buy now. We know we'll be downloading it…
It's been a busy few months for this fabulous four, but it's all over now for Gary Barlow (who was looking HOT last night), Louis Walsh, Tulisa Contostavlos and super judge Nicole Scherzinger. Pulling out all the stops in their dapper suits and sparkly frocks, the judges were on full form this weekend as they saw James Arthur crowned X Factor winner of 2012. Aw, we will miss that touch of sparkle to our Saturday night, bring on next year we say!
Well that's it folks, our final three for X Factor have been announced! Jahmene Douglas, James Arthur and Christopher Maloney will be performing in front of 10,000 people next weekend in the hope of becoming the next big thing. Performing with their mentors (we think Nicole Scherzinger and James will be EPIC) we can't wait to see them pull out all the stops! But who has your vote?
We wanted them in the final but unfortunately we had to wave goodbye to the hot Union J boys this weekend! After two, heart-wrenching performances it seems the lads couldn't secure their place in the final. But we're not worried, in the (repeated) words of Louis Walsh, they're the 'NEXT BIG BOY BAND'.
Boy are we going to miss Rylan Clark on X Factor; we loved his crazy costumes, the banter with Gary Barlow and his larger-than-life personality. Yes, we know he wasn't the best singer in the competition, but the show wouldn't have been the same without him.
Shock eviction on X Factor this week as favourite for the final, Ella Henderson was the latest singer to be given the chop. After a tense sing-off with James Arthur, Ella was devastated to hear her fate by Dermot when it came down to phone photos. We're sure she'll get a record deal, absolutely positive.
Tulisa's little muffins (aka Little Mix) are all grown up - bless! We loved watching Jade, Perrie, Leigh-Anne and Jesy return to the stage which catapulted their careers. See, X Factor does make dreams come true...
Ah, bless District 3, the trio were the latest to be booted off the X Factor live shows this weekend. The boys, who granted didn't sing their best on the sing-off but we will miss their cute little faces...
We loved loved loved watching our December cover stars sing live on the X Factor. We don't really care when it was recorded, just as long as we see Harry, Niall, Zayn and Liam sing their hearts out.
The Sunday night episode of X Factor had everyone girl-crushing over these two blonde bombshells - especially on Twitter.
First up was Rita Ora who made us turn green with envy when she performed her new single Shine Your Light. The blonde babe looked incred in her Julian MacDonald crochet catsuit.
Still reeling from Rita's performance, minutes later we watched Gwen Stefani take to the stage with her band No Doubt to sing their new song, Looking Hot.
There's no doubt about it, both of these ladies were looking SUPER hot last night.
Rylan Clark left viewers stunned when he sang Des'ree's Kissing You for his sing-off tune - um, where was he hiding that voice, eh? X Factor judge Tulisa must be a fan of the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack because she chose to send Kye home and to keep Rylan.
It was a battle of the boys on X Factor as Kye Sones battled it out with Rylan Clark. The two boys, who are friends, sang their hearts out on the X Factor sing-off. The result went to deadlock (of course it did!) and Kye Sones went home.
Yikes, Tulisa Contostavlos emerged on Sunday night's X Factor live shows wearing a nicotine patch stuck to her arm. And if you don't know why she accessorised her outfit with such a thing, where have you been? After Gary Barlow's harsh 'fag-ash breath' comment on Saturday night, it obviously hit a nerve with the brunette singer because she stepped out sporting the nicotine patch. It was all very awkward, can't they all just play nice? No? Oh.
Oh, we can't help but smile at Robbie Williams. Here he is straddling Louis Walsh on X Factor during his performance of his latest single, Candy. Personally we'd have straddled Gary Barlow, but hey, that's just us.
Boo! Jade Ellis was the latest X Factor hopeful to leave the competition. Losing out to boyband, Union J, the pink haired babe kept her cool as the judges voted her off the show. We'll miss Jade's cool Rita Ora-inspired look.
This weekend's X Factor had us dancing around our living rooms as it was club classics week. We saw James Arthur do an awesome remix of LMFAO's (not LMFO Louis) 'I'm sexy and I know it' with what Gary Barlow described as 'the performance of the series'.
We also saw favourite Ella shake her booty and of course, Rylan was busting some of the best moves! With so many dance floor classics setting the stage alight it was almost impossible to chose someone to leave but unfortunately the public vote left urban act MK1 and cool Kye in the bottom two. With another judge vote put to deadlock, we saw MK1 leave the competition. Although judging by their energy we're sure they won't be going anywhere without a fight!
It seems the judges left their handbags at home this weekend as Gary and Louis kissed and made up on Saturday's show. With all the romance in the studio (it was love and heartbreak week after all) the contetsants and judges all seemed to be getting on swimmingly; that was until of course, Rylan took to the stage. With his light-hearted approach to the performance it seems Rylan won himself some fans this weekend as he went straight through on Sunday's results show.
In a sing off between Louis' boyband District 3 and Gary's Melanie Casson, we saw another one of the overs category leave the competition. Is Gary losing his touch or is this year more about the entertainment factor? We want to know your thoughts!
We don't need to tell you that the first live X Factor shows were full to the brim with controversy, what with Louis telling Dermot that he wanted to take the deciding vote to deadlock. In the end, country singer Carolynne Poole left the show leaving Rylan Clark safe. Eesh!
Jade Ellis' soulful voice makes her a strong contestant for the live shows - plus she had us in tears when she said she just wanted a nice house for her and her daughter. What can we say, we're a sucker for a sob story.
We weren't surprised when Ella Henderson got through to the live shows, she totes got our vote as soon as she belted out her own song about her granddad back in auditions. Actually, we still have a tear in our eye just thinking about it…
We've loved Lucy Spraggan ever since she sang Beer Fear back in the early days – who hasn't done the robot dance when drunk? We were even more impressed when she put her own spin to Whitney's 'Always Love You' though, and obviously, so was Tulisa!
We love bad-boy-turned-good James Arthur's acoustic guitar skills and reckon he'll go far in the comp! Plus, he rocks a pair of Deirdre Barlow specs better than any guys we know…
Aww, Jahmene Douglas totes has the likeability factor dontcha think? Trying hard not to let his nerves get the better of him, Jahmene stormed in to Nicole's final three. We have to say, the Scherzinger totes made us giggle when she told him to go and cry... and grow some balls while you're at it. Naughty
Love him or hate him, Rylan Clarke certainly had everyone talking after his totally cringe meltdown when Nicole put him through. What do you reck, is he the new Wagner? Or will he show off more of his vocals and wow us? Only time will tell…
Simeon and Lotte, make up duo act MK1 and they're all about hip-hop and dubstep. They sort of remind us of N Dubz, so defo a group to watch.
Jamie, George, Josh and Jaymi - remember these names ladies, Union J are set to be the new One Direction. We reckon this cute boy band will get the votes from the teen girls (and us older ones), and they can sing too!
We were relieved when Louis took a gamble on the GMD3 boys – Dan, Greg and Mickey. We don't know about you, but we can't get enough of boy bands at the mo.
Hot chimney sweep Kye Sones struggled a little bit through his rendition of Payphone but he still got a Yes from Gary Barlow and his guest judge Cheryl Cole – phew!
We breathed a sigh of relief when Gary Barlow put Carolynne Poole through to the live shows - she didn't make it past the judge's houses last year and twice in a row would've been heartbreaking! Plus, we're excited for country on the X Factor.
Gary Barlow and Cheryl Cole were so impressed with mum of two, Melanie Masson. Her rendition of Everytime You Go Away left them eager for more. And how cute was it when she ran off the train to meet her daughters?
Excuse us while we do a massive girly squeal, Cheryl Cole is back on the X Factor! We can't wait for our geordie sweetheart to arrive in her private helicopter to join Gary Barlow at judges houses. Excited would be an understatement.
Ella Henderson is only 16, with a belter of a voice beyond her years. We'll see her in the next round, thanks to her uhh-maze rendition of Cher's Belive. It was so emosh, Nicole even cried! Ella and the rest of the Girls will be mentored by Tulisa.
Nerves nearly got the better of poor Jahmene Douglas on Sunday night. Following a poor performance on Saturday, Jahmene worked himself into such a state, Nicole had to come and give him a hug. N'awwww.
Erm hello! If Joseph's audition didn't melt your heart this weekend then we don't know what will! This hunk not only has a hot rock voice that gave us goosebumps but he also shed a little tear as his son ran out to meet him on stage. Too cute!
Jade is BACK and more fabulous then ever! After failing to make it through to the live shows last year (we were so sad to see her go!) it seems Jade wouldn't take no for an answer as she auditioned again this weekend. We think she'll deffo be on the live shows this time!
Jake most definitely captured our attention this weekend with a voice that soothed our ears and handsome good looks that was pure eye candy! We can't wait to see how far this one goes in the competition...
Nothing screams glamour quite like a lear jet in the background. We wonder whether Simon's the pilot? Gary, Nicole, Tulisa and Louis strut their stuff in the new promo pics for the brand new series. We're excited!
Pic: Nicky Johnston/ITV
Here's Nicole Scherzinger on the first day of her new X Factor judging job. Like us mere mortals, we bet Nicole was nervous on her first day. But she shouldn't have worried because she looked gorgeous in her emerald green frock and metallic peep-toe shoes. We can't wait to see how she copes with sitting next to Louis Walsh…
Tulisa Contostavlos rocked a Vivienne Westwood dress at the X Factor auditions in Newcastle. The singer put on a brave face as she had reportedly split with Skins star Jack O'Connell blaming 'incompatible work schedules' - oh, that old chestnut!
The hottest woman of FHM lived up to her name at the first day of X Factor 2012 auditions, didn't she? Rocking the floral trend, she teamed this pretty summery number with a studded waist-cinching belt for some serious oomph – we wonder how her and new gal Geri will get along…?
Geri Halliwell has been drafted in to add some serious spice to the X Factor judging panel; she turned up to the Liverpool auditions in a blue lacy bodycon dress teamed with a pair of ankle boots, much to the delight of ex Spice Girls fans everywhere! We can't wait to see how she fits in with the rest of the judges…
Gorgeous Gary Barlow is so busy this year that we wondered if he was going to have time for the X Factor 2012! From organising a Jubilee concert, writing a special song for Queen Liz, becoming one of the new faces of M&S, announcing his wife is set to have their FOURTH child and promising to pen the Christmas single for the winner of X Factor 2012, this guy's a busy bee. We wonder if the strain will take its toll on the sexy judge…
Hurrah, we are SO excited that Caroline Flack is back presenting The Xtra Factor for the X Factor 2012. We would be distraught not to see her cosying up to Olly Murs (who's also coming back!) on a Saturday night. Plus, One Direction will surely be back on, we look forward to that awkward camera moment
The divine Dermot O'Leary is definitely back for X Factor 2012 and we couldn't be happier – it wouldn't be the same without him! From his general gorgeousness, to his trademark hug for failed contestants, Dermot's utterly crucial to our X Factor enjoyment…
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? NO, it's Louis Walsh! Louis Walsh made the press recently for coming to the aid of Made In Chelsea star Diego after he was attacked in Mayfair - bit embarrassing that Diego had no idea who his twinkly-eyed superhero was though! We bet the reality star will be tuning in to see his saviour put the contestants through their paces on X Factor 2012…

A pilgrimage to the Pierre Hardy boutique in the Palais Royal is a part of every fashion girl's trip to Paris. Now according to Style.com, the trip only requires a cab since Pierre Hardy is opening an eponymous store at 30 Jane Street this Wednesday, December 8th. An old garage was turned into a chic shop with the help of David Mann of MR Architecture + Decor. While the shoes are fabulous, I have my eye on one of the signature bags. I might have to amend my Christmas list in light of this recent development!

Trouble in Pakistan
by Jerome Armstrong, Fri Dec 18, 2009 at 07:09:57 PM EST
Minister Ahmad Mukhtar was told by the security officials that they were acting on instructions from the National Accountability Bureau, an arm of Pakistan's intelligence service created by former military ruler Pervez Musharraf to harass political opponents with corruption charges. The Defence Minister was told his name was on an `Exit Control List' even though he has never been convicted of a crime. Clearly, Pakistan has entered a decisive stage. Imagine the U.S. Defence Secretary being detained by U.S. marshals at JFK airport... he cannot leave the country.
What was bizarre about this development is that although it was Pakistani's Interior Ministry that was supposed to have issued the orders, the Interior Minister himself was named as someone not allowed to travel abroad without special permission. Clearly the administration of the government in Islamabad has been taken over by plainclothes military intelligence officials.
A coup by any other name is still a coup.Its tough figuring out who is in control-- who is calling the shots? Following the above incident, the "Chairman National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Naveed Ahsan Friday telephoned Defence Minister Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar and apologised over the embarrassment caused to the minister." At the same time, there's been a surge of harassment of U.S. officials inside Pakistan.

Drunk driving accident
I believe that the hit-and-run that occurred on July 5 was caused by a drunk driving accident. With the fact that Kelly Ann Boyce was hit at 2 a.m., it's highly likely that the person that hit her could've been drinking. As a 13-year-old that rides bikes frequently, this makes me uncomfortable. I think extra precautions should be taken to prevent these types of accidents.
Charles Bush
Lake Ann
On quite a guilt trip
You know who you are, the person who took Kelly Boyce Hurlbert's life prematurely, leaving her husband, Paul, and this community in grief and disbelief.
Your mind is releasing a steady stream of guilt and self-ridicule making it virtually impossible to get away with this crime. A source of refuge for you is to reveal yourself to a neighbor, friend or pastor.
It is time for you to step forward and face what you must face. There is so much anger directed toward you and it will increase the longer it is left to fester until finally you are caught or turned in by a friend or family member. Step forward and we will still be angry at you; the anger will surround you, and you will feel it. But you can ease the blow and retain a smidgeon of peace of mind by turning yourself in.
Your self-preservation is to treat the memory of the departed Kelly with dignity and help to bring closure to her family, friends and this community. Admittance on your part will be a first step toward forgiveness on our part.
Step up, we are waiting.

2013 and earlier Cadillac CTS Lease Questions
Hi cwo714. You certainly are not being given much of a discount on the CTS that you are considering. If I was in the market for a CTS right now, particularly in a competitive market like California, I personally would shoot for a selling price of around $500 or so over invoice minus any available cash incentives.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
You're very welcome drkchai. That's probably a wise move. January typically isn't the best time of the year to get a new car. Manufacturers usually blow out a ton of units in December so there isn't the urgent need amongst dealers or automakers to have big months at the beginning of the year. Plus supply is usually a little tighter. Hopefully the deals will better in March.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
Here's the info that you're looking for joshdent. Ally's January base lease rate and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 CTS Wagon Luxury AWD with 15,000 miles per year are 2.3% and 53%.
General Motors is currently providing a $2,690 cash incentive on leases of this car through Ally.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
Ally does indeed residualize the Gas Guzzler Tax, US Bank does not. Good question... your dealer probably doesn't know that either so to avoid confusion I would remind them of that up front.
You dont want them quoting US Bank and then trying to adjust the price on you later do to an error.
dbv Posts: 1Car_man,
My local Cadillac dealer has a CTS-V Sedan with the options I want. They've had it since December, and have a nearly identical unit incoming.
I would be leasing for 36 months, 15,000 miles, preferably with 0$ down.
My question is this: what are the current residuals, and rates for the above mentioned lease
Should I wait til March to make a move? It seems some people anticipate the rates and trunk money getting more aggressive. What are your thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
Hi dbv. Ally's February base lease and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 Cadillac CTS-V Sedan with 15,000 miles per year are 2.3% and 53%.
General Motors is currently providing a $2,690 cash incentive on 36-month leases of this car through Ally. There's cash on top of that for loyal customers and owners of select competitive luxury models.
It's difficult to say whether GM's incentives on the CTS will get better in March. It's certainly possible, but I wouldn't say that it's a foregone conclusion.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
whats the numbers on a 2 yr lease and 3yr lease on cts coupe as well as rebates i am in the holbrook longisland area,,,i hope they get more aggressive in march,, i know years past the deals got better on the 3yr in march,,and 2yr in april,, thanks for your help by the way i hear they are still making the cts coupe till next year,,,,not sure how good the deals will get as ithink they dont want to hurt ats sales
Hi drkchai. Ally's March base lease rate and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 Cadillac CTS-V Sedan with 15,000 miles per year are 2.3% and 53%.
When negotiating your deal, make sure to take advantage of the $2,690 cash incentive that is currently available on 36-month leases of this car through Ally.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
Greetings to the appropriately named mrcoupe. I used to be Mr. Coupe myself...then I got married and had kids .
Ally's March base lease rare and residual value for a 24-month lease of a Cadillac CTS Coupe with 15,000 miles per year are 1.0% and 64%. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36-month lease are 1.9% and 55%.
There is a $1,300 cash incentive on 24-month leases and $2,800 on 36-month leases of this car.
The residual values vary by trim level, with certain trims having slightly higher resids.

A few weeks ago, while visiting a friend, I had the privilege of attending church with her. The preacher gave a powerful message about how big God is.
When it was over, I thought my head was going to explode. Trying to wrap your mind around just how big God is can do that to you.
In fact, God is so big He does not experience time as we do. He lives in the past, present and future all at the same time. There is no beginning and no end to Him.
Only He knows what is going to happen and what could have happened in your life.
With one breath, He spoke the world into existence.
So, who are we that He should be mindful of us? We are so small and insignificant compared to the majesty that He encompasses.
Yet, He created us in His own image and calls us His sons and daughters. How incredible! The God of the universe, the Creator of the world, cares about you and wants to know you personally.
His thoughts about you outnumber the stars and He knows the exact number of hairs on your head. There is nothing you are going through He does not see. There is no problem too small or too big He cannot solve.
Whatever is weighing on you today, bring it before the Lord. He promises to help you through it all.
This article may seem a little strange coming from me, who is convinced my life is over, at least once a week, resulting in a total meltdown.
But sometimes we all need to be reminded how big God is. He is bigger than depression, or loneliness, or any circumstance we find ourselves in.
God lives in places no one wants to be. You can find Him in a back alley where they sell Xanax like candy, in a cardboard box in an abandoned building, and in every dark corner of the earth. He lives in the darkest places and loves the most unlovable people, in the most unlikely way.
And, that's no small thing.

VOTD: Ida-who?
Watch meek-voiced Idahoan Trevor Powers (aka Youth Lagoon) give a powerful in-studio performance.
Pitchfork's often criticized for its enormous sway on consumers, which — from time to time, whether intentionally or without intention — it wields to blow bands up (see: Broken Social Scene) or completely and viciously implode them.
Having nabbed Pitchfork's "Best New Music" accolade on its recent debut, "
The Year of Hibernation
barely legal Youth Lagoon most definitely qualifies as the latter, and deservedly so. Watch this beautifully lit video for the song "July," where Powers draws you in with his airy mumbles and plinky piano playing before ratcheting up the drama into a kick-drum-powered funeral march.
I've been listening to this guy's album for a few weeks now and can verify that several songs on it go from frail to triumphant in mere, wonderful moments. "Posters" and "Afternoon" both get capped by welcome dance beats, the production all fuzzed out and swirling around them. It's a great record about growing up, and I'm excited to say I'll be seeing him in Denton, Texas, next week.
Watch "July" over at Pitchfork

VOTD: Road trip!
Watch Milagres put on a mobile show before their date with Opolis last month.
Probably the single thing I regret most from the month of October was going home for the night instead of sticking around Opolis to hear
' harmonic indie goodness. So far, this month's biggest regret is virtually the same: I ditched out on the
Future Islands
show, again, to catch up on my Zs.
As much as I love hearing live music, not being a zombie is also very important to me.
Getting to reprise my role as a sound guy and ride around in Jonathan Fowler's "VDub Sessions" Vanagon with Milagres and the namesake of
Peter Wolf Crier
was a more-than-nice consolation prize, however, and the song "Halfway" even managed to latch its irresistible hooks into my brain, which has since been unable to dislodge them.
As always, Nathan Poppe's "VDub Sessions" work is terrific. We even managed not to crash the van, although some poor freshman — admit it, you did it the first month you lived in Norman, too — drove the wrong way down Gray Street mid-performance. Almost everybody in the band noticed, including the singer for Milagres, which earns them all bonus points for performing under duress. Watch:

VOTD: Vincent can go
Tulsa-born pinup St. Vincent plays six songs, expresses love for Robert Fripp and Dimebag Darrell.
In case you missed it, Tulsa-born Annie Clark recorded one of the year's best albums in "
Strange Mercy
," a rich, artful record that's spiked with moments of morbidity and unexpected sonic textures, mostly supplied by her unique approach to guitar playing.
That style is on clear and wonderful display in these videos from a recent show shot by MTV Hive. Be sure to check out the Frippy, trippy guitar solo on ... well, all most of these songs, but especially "Northern Lights," which races its way to a climactic finish. Early album standout "Your Lips Are Red" gets a seriously badass, almost metal-heavy facelift here. Also, Annie earns super bonus points for the end-of-show, noisy, crowd-surf move. What I would give to be that lucky stagehand...
Yeah, so come play a hometown show please, Annie. Also, tweet
if you'd be interested in
interviewing a fellow Tulsan who loves your music. OK, you got me. I really did mean "dating." I promise
Taylor and I
are through.

VOTD: It ain't easy being ... from New Zealand
Bret McKenzie and Kermit the Frog sing an original song from 'The Muppets.'
There is a poster promoting "Flight of the Conchords"' second season on HBO in my office. Thus, any video of Bret McKenzie playing or writing songs on the fly are an automatic VOTD, doubly so when accompanied by any Muppet.
That's the case here, thanks to
The New York Times
magazine, which corralled the New Zealand comedian into a studio to talk about his work composing original songs for the new "Muppets" movie and even perform one with the little green guy. It's a
fun little feature
, and most definitely worth your time (click through to watch). Turns out writing songs for Muppets is extra-tricky, as McKenzie learned.
Also be sure to read Rod Lott's

VOTD: Stuck in the 'Limelight'
Local filmmaker, musician team up to shoot a video on a camera that fits in your pocket.
Kyle Roberts is at it again.
You may recall the filmmaker from one of the year's flat-out best local music video, for The Nghiems' pixilated dreamy, poppy "
Dum Dum Dah Dah
Or maybe it's from his hilarious, attention-grabbing stop-motion work on "
Battle of the Bonds
." Either way, he's returned to the Internet by teaming up with Chase Kerby's pretty, new alt-rockish act, Defining Times, to film a video completely on a GoPro HD Hero 2, a camera so small you can pretty much take it anywhere. In this case, it looks like Kerby and Roberts chose a local park.

Like Broncho? Then you'll probably also like Cymbals Eat Guitars.
New York indie punks Cymbals Eat Guitars appears to be a band very much worth seeing live. Especially if you value things like fireworks, car-window boobies, smashing car windows, punching dads in the face, and distorted guitars. All of which appear in this video for the song "Keep Me Waiting," directed by Adam Kurland.

VOTD: I could watch this 'All Day'
Girl Talk's epic album gets an epic video treatment. Oh, yeah, and he's playing a secret concert in Norman this weekend.
I once had an extensive discussion with a friend about the mash-up that opens Girl Talk's fifth album, "All Day," one of my personal favorites and probably the most fun disc of 2010. The two prominent songs sampled are Ludacris' "Move Bitch" and Black Sabbath's "War Pigs," the former of which my friend Nathan (a gigantic metalhead), said he first listened to in high school while bumping up and down on a tractor on his family's farm in northwest Oklahoma. If that's not a funny image, then I don't know what is.
Whoever's behind this "
Girl Walk // All Day
" Kickstarter Campaign (not actually associated with Girl Talk) probably finds similar humor in listening to compulsive dance music in everyday situations. They've filmed 12 videos (ostensibly one for each song on the album), which they'll be premiering each week until mid-January over at
The Gothamist
The first one's below, and it features a sassy, rogue ballet dancer, a robot-dancing mechanic creep and a bunch of confused onlookers. I just wish I were brave enough to dance like this outside the protective confines of my car.
Also, yes, Girl Talk will be playing somewhere in Norman this weekend, but the location and time of the show have yet to be announced.
Axe Body Spray
is sponsoring the concert, and tickets will be given out on the University of Oklahoma campus tomorrow. I've currently got about a half-dozen surrogates keeping an eye out for me, because I'm not missing this chance to dress up like a goof and unfurl that Girl Talk-loving freak flag of mine.
Also, earnest question: What is an ice cream paint job? Or do I even want to know?

VOTD: That's not Santa ...
Breakout band Sleigh Bells announces a new album, 'Reign of Terror.'
The saddest I've been in recent memory was when I had to forfeit my tickets to the off-the-rails rave that Brooklyn noise-pop duo
Sleigh Bells hosted at my favorite concert venue in the world, Cain's Ballroom
. I love sweaty shows. I love aggressive, loud pop music. But I had to work, which resulted in Matt being a sad panda for about a month.
This was shortly before I got hired by the good people here at the
, who now help to get me into shows like this (thanks, guys!). I mean, seriously, look how awesome this was, courtesy of expert Tulsa photographer
Jeremy Charles
Today the band announced "Reign of Terror," the follow-up to its 2010 debut, "Treats," by way of a video that captures the disturbing, harsh intensity of Derek Miller's guitar riffage against Alexis Krauss' chic femininity, dressed up in a military uniform like a Bond villainess who only speaks grunts of Russian. I really hope they somehow wield this thing into an insane dance-pop-metal hybrid.

Karen O and David Fincher get creepy.
OKSee wholeheartedly supports just about every endeavor undertaken by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
yelper Karen O with a certain fervent-ness that's only reassured by this incredible cover of Led Zeppelin's mountain-shattering classic, "Immigrant Song." It's in support of
the now-available soundtrack

Directed by creepy filmmaker David Fincher, the eerie collage of often-unknown, strangely morbid images, fits right in with NIN's aesthetic, as does Karen O's forceful moaning. Watch, but not if you hope to concentrate on your work immediately after:

Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire (D) talks with KING 5 about the state of emergency she declared as an ice storm slams the Puget Sound region.
"This is purely a precautionary measure," Gregoire said in a statement posted online. "So far, we haven't received any requests for state assistance – but we know weather conditions are rapidly changing. I want to make sure we have every resource available to ensure our communities are safe. This proclamation would allow us to activate the National Guard if we need to. It also allows state agencies to respond quickly to any storm-related requests from cities and counties for state assistance. A brief waiver of the restrictions on dairy truck drivers' work hours is needed now to avoid shipment delays that could mean the loss of nearly $1 million a day for the state's dairy industry."
According to the governor's website, the proclamation:
- Waives hours of service for drivers of trucks hauling intrastate bulk milk shipments from farms to dairy processing facilities and from dairies to processing facilities. The waiver is in effect through Jan. 22;
- Directs state government to support emergency response activities in local jurisdictions affected by the winter storm;
- Allows state agencies to make expenditures and utilize resources to assist local communities in their recovery efforts; and
- Authorizes the Washington National Guard to activate at the direction of State Adjutant General Maj. Gen. Timothy J. Lowenberg.

CONCORD, N.C. -- "I'm pleased, very pleased; it's all we've wanted," said attorney Seth Langson.
Langson represents one of the alleged victims who claims Bobby Price, a former Kings Way Baptist church youth minister, molested him.
"He met Bobby Price as a pastor, youth minister and a friendship evolved into sexual abuse," said Langson.
The complaint claims it started when the plaintiff was 12-years-old, and continued until he was 16. The victim came forth when he was 23, and a civil lawsuit was resolved, but before criminal charges were filed in 2011, Price left for Nicaragua.
"I'm very happy he's back, I'd like him to have a trial by a jury of his peers, and let them decide guilty or not guilty," said Langson.
Price's attorney told NBC Charlotte over the phone his client did not flee to Nicaragua to escape the charges, he had mission trips planned already and returned to face the charges.
But the complaint alleges Price's family and church helped support and protect him overseas to avoid facing charges in the States.
Langson says claims the alleged victim was just out for money since he waited so many years, are ridiculous.
"It's extremely hard for a victim to come forward, and that's why they often wait a number of years or decades, and when that happens immediately they're attacked," said Langson.
Price's brother, Rusty, is now head pastor at Kings Way Baptist Church.
Kings Way Baptist Church released the following statement to NBC Charlotte on Wednesday afternoon:
We at King's Way Baptist Church have received inquires in regards to the recent arrival of Robert Price to Charlotte, NC.
Mr. Price was a former youth pastor and has not been employed neither attended our church for approximately three years. His arrival was a personal decision not related in any way to our church.
As a church we certainly pray for all parties involved and trust our judicial system in the resolution of this situation.
Price is due back in court in November.

Today in money matters, we're getting down to the wire for buying those Christmas presents.
Americans all together will spend about $586 billion this year on holiday shopping. so how do you make sure your heart isn't bigger than your wallet? Dori Zinn with money talks news as some ways to avoid overspending on holiday gifts.
1. Make a list. Check it twice. Split up friends, family and extended relatives into different groups but make sure you are shopping with that list.
2. Make a budget. Don't just pick a total figure. Try prioritizing each person and setting a price limit for each person's gift.
3. Buy the same thing more than once. Sometimes you can get $100 worth of gift cards from one retailer for $80. So bundle gifts and save time and money.
4. Split the difference. If you're planning on a big gift for someone, talk to family or friends about going into together. The siblings can split the cost of a nice flat screen for mom and dad and the financial hit won't be that bad.

Tablet Wars
See how some of the more popular tablets stack up.
Timeline: Bookending Barnes & Noble
From humble beginnings to a bookselling behemoth, Barnes & Noble has seen ups and downs over the decades as it tried to straddle the world of paper books and e-books.
While the revenue drop reflected in part a slight decline in the number of stores open, as well as lower online sales, it included an 8.2% drop in sales at stores open at least one year. Most of that was driven by lower sales of Nook digital devices, both the tablet and e-reader. Excluding Nook device sales, "core" same-store sales fell 3.1% because fewer consumers came to the stores.
Revenue for the bookseller's Nook segment, which includes all the Nook devices, digital content and accessories, fell 12.6% to $311 million for the nine weeks compared with the same period a year ago, the company said Thursday.
Barnes & Noble has devoted a significant amount of floor space in its stores to its Nook digital devices. But while Nook device sales "got off to a good start over the Black Friday period," they "then fell short of expectations for the balance" of the holiday selling season, said William Lynch, the company's chief executive, in a statement. "We are examining the root cause of the December shortfall in sales, and will adjust our strategies accordingly going forward."
Barnes & Noble has gone head-to-head with Amazon in the tablet market, with both releasing tablets of roughly the same size and in the same price range of around $200. But competition has intensified in the past couple of months. Apple introduced a mini version of its iPad on Nov. 2, priced at $329. Demand for that device was so great that it was sometimes unavailable during the holiday period. Google is also selling its own tablets.
While Nook sales 'got off to a good start,' they fell short of expectations for the balance of the holiday selling season, Barnes & Noble says. Reuters
"What concerns us is that as the overall market gravitates toward color tablets, you'd have expected that Barnes & Noble would have been able to maintain its share because it introduced two new color tablets during the quarter," said Morningstar analyst Peter Wahlstrom. "They aren't behind on the tablet front in the sense that their devices compare well with others, but they are behind in terms of marketing, awareness and adoption. And that's critical."
The news comes just days after Barnes & Noble said Pearson PSON.LN +1.85% Pearson PLC U.K.: London GBp1107.12 +20.12 +1.85% July 14, 2014 2:08 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 723,401 P/E Ratio 0.17 Market Cap GBp8.90 Billion Dividend Yield 5.78% Rev. per Employee GBp120,361 06/29/14 Bertelsmann Getting Out of Boo... 06/27/14 U.K. Media and Housebuilders a... 06/26/14 London Stock Exchange to Buy U...

More quote details and news » had earlier invested $300 million for a 16.8% stake.
Barnes & Noble warned when it disclosed Pearson's investment that its holiday results would be disappointing and that its Nook business would fall short of earlier projections. Still, Mr. Wahlstrom said, "I don't think anybody was expecting a 12.6% drop in Nook segment sales." Barnes & Noble shares fell 29 cents Thursday, closing at $14.22 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Digital-content sales, including e-books, digital newspapers and magazines, and apps, increased 13.1%. The company said that it expects fiscal 2013 Nook Media revenue, which includes the college bookstores, to hit about $3 billion, down from an earlier forecast of more than $3 billion.
The bookseller also said its Nook business segment, which excludes the college bookstores, will have Ebitda losses that are about comparable to fiscal 2012's about $262 million.
The results reported Thursday are in contrast to the upbeat picture that Mr. Lynch painted for Wall Street analysts in late November. During that presentation, Mr. Lynch described the retailer's seven-inch Nook HD and nine-inch Nook HD Plus as "breakthrough tablet products," and said "the Nook business will scale in fiscal 2013, reducing losses from last year."
He finished by noting that the holiday season had gotten off to an encouraging start, with Nook unit sales doubling over the four-day Black Friday period compared with the same time frame a year earlier.
He also said that comparable-store sales at the retailer's 689 consumer stores were "in line with expectations" over the four-day period that represents the traditional kickoff of the holiday season.

ST. CHARLES, MO. — The definition of progress is "development or growth" or "steady improvement."
That's exactly what Teri Moren and her staff accomplished in her third season as Indiana State's women's basketball coach.
It's gratifying to listen to Moren talk about some of the individual growth, but she also deserved to speak about the progress she has led the program to in her three years.
"We have. I don't think there's any doubt about it," Moren said. "We lose three 1,000 point scorers … and we're playing with one senior, one junior and then sophomores and freshmen. I would say 18 wins, 10-8 [Missouri Valley record], the 5th seed in the Valley, a very difficult league, is making some strides."
The Sycamores improved during the season as well, overcoming the loss of injured starter Jessica Valley thanks to contributions from several young players. ISU picked up at least one victory on each of its MVC road trips this season, a positive step as Moren's teams struggled to get road wins in her first two years.
After every loss this season, the Sycamores have been eager to redeem themselves. Friday's 71-60 defeat to a quality Northern Iowa team led by one of the Valley's all-time greats (Jacqui Kalin) was no different.
Taylor Whitley talked about the desire to play a few more games with this team. For good reason. It's a hard-working team that is committed to winning.
It may be the best defensive team the program has ever had, and its togetherness and toughness at that end is memorable.
The Sycamores have to find that same cohesiveness offensively.
Freshman Kasey Johnson provided big energy Friday during ISU's run — and many other times during the season — but she has to have confidence in her shot. Natasha Zurek and Travecia Franklin are a big reason for the team's success on defense, but they, too, must improve their shooting.
Racheal Mahan emerged as a feared post player in the Missouri Valley Conference — the 10th-best league in the nation — after playing limited minutes as a freshman. Only a few players in the league can match her strength on the low block.
Mahan overcame a tough first half against Northern Iowa in which she had a couple turnovers. The sophomore showed humility after the game.
"Coach told me I'd get double-teamed so just slow down and don't let them rush you," Mahan said. "Unfortunately, a couple of turnovers [occurred] from that. I just think that there's a lot of improvement that needs to be done and that's something I'll be working on."
Anna Munn is more than just a shooter and should be one of the league's most well rounded guards next season. She should also have help offensively from transfers like 6-1 forward Chelsea Small and former Kansas State guard Stephanie Wittman. Jasmine Grier and Ricquia Jones are also junior college additions that are — along with Sullivan center Rhagen Smith — likely to create an even more competitive atmosphere.
"We have a lot of experience with our freshmen getting a lot of solid playing time with Kasey [Johnson] and Marina [Laramie]. It all comes down to what we put into the offseason as far as how much we get out of it," Munn said.
In a way, the offseason begins now.
ISU has earned a chance to be in the 64-team WNIT, which has a committee that partially utilizes various computer rankings to choose its field. Among the 345 teams, ISU ranks from 114th (Massey) to 122nd (Sagarin) to 141st (RealTimeRPI).
With Creighton's loss on Friday in the MVC semifinals, I think ISU will be joining the Bluejays as one of four teams from the MVC in the WNIT.
If not, the Sycamores will be in the 16-team Women's Basketball Invitational.
Either way, preparing for a postseason tournament means more time together in practice. And more "steady improvement" and "development or growth" for the program as a whole.

Earthquake Alerts
Posted by Bruce Robinson in technology , Science , public safety , planning , news , media , international , government , gadgets , California
Electrons move faster than earthquakes, giving new automated alert systems a few key seconds to warn outlying areas that some shaking is on the way.
This project is moving forward as quickly as possible, says Doug Given, but to be fully effective it requires the installation of many more sensors along the biggest known fault lines.
In setting all this up, priority has been given to the San Andreas Fault, one of the longest and most active in all of California.
