The 12 Most Important Cars of 2009
It will be a lousy—but momentous—year in the auto industry.
It's going to be one crummy year for the auto industry. General Motors and Chrysler are struggling just to survive, and many of their competitors are losing money. Sales in 2009 are likely to be even lower than in 2008—which itself was one of the worst years in decades. Hundreds of dealers will probably go out of business, and weak brands like Saturn, Mercury, and Dodge could shrink dramatically or end up rolled into other divisions.
Yet the tough economy could make 2009 a watershed year for cars. With buyers scarce, slow-selling models—often relegated to rental fleets—could disappear completely. A new spate of hybrids will test whether large numbers of Americans really want to pay extra money upfront to save a few bucks at the pump. Lower gas prices might give SUVs a reprieve. And a few game-changing vehicles could offer consumers even more choices—while forcing other manufacturers to catch up or become obsolete.
[See how the feds will govern GM and Chrysler.]
Here are some of the most significant vehicles to keep an eye on over the next 12 months:
Honda Insight. (Expected in April, starting price under $20,000) Why should Toyota have all the fun? The new Insight is Honda's hybrid-only answer to the Toyota Prius, which dealers could barely keep in stock last year, as gas prices soared to $4 per gallon. "Honda hates to lose market share to any car company, but it especially hates to lose potential sales to Toyota," says Jack Nerad of car-research site kbb.com. "Thus, it has created this Prius-fighter." Honda hopes to entice buyers with a lower starting price than the Prius and overall mileage in the mid-40s. The Insight will also reveal whether hybrids are becoming mainstream or appeal to buyers only when gas prices are high.
[See what dismal car sales in 2008 mean for 2009.]
Toyota Prius. (Late spring, about $22,000) To keep things lively, Toyota will introduce a brand-new version of the trendsetting Prius around the time the Honda Insight rolls out. Toyota is promising to raise the bar for hybrids, with innovative new features, greater comfort and performance, and mileage that's higher than the 46 mpg of the current Prius. But expect the same pod-shaped styling that has made the Prius instantly recognizable.
Ford Fusion hybrid. (April, about $27,000) Ford knows it can't stand by while Honda and Toyota corner the hybrid market, especially in midsize sedans. The gas-powered Fusion has competed successfully against the Honda Accord and the Toyota Camry, and Ford hopes the new Fusion hybrid will solidify its presence in the vital midcar segment. The Fusion is a bit larger than the Prius or Insight, making it more of a family vehicle likely to compete with the Camry hybrid. Its main selling point will be mileage close to 40 mpg, compared with 34 mpg for the Camry hybrid.
Chevrolet Equinox. (June, about $25,000) Compact crossovers are one of the fastest-growing segments, and as usual, the Japanese are in the lead. The current Chevy Equinox is a middling performer compared with the Toyota Rav4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. For Chevy to claim more of this important turf, the redesigned Equinox needs to have better fuel economy and an optional third-row seat, according to car-research site Edmunds.com. A bit more pizazz wouldn't hurt, either.
[See the cars that drove Detroit's customers away.]
Mazda5. (Available now, about $18,000) This "microvan," which seats six, comes standard with a five-speed manual transmission, and is actually fun to drive, was an oddity when it debuted a couple of years ago. But young families looking for something cheaper—and cooler—than a full-blown minivan love it. "The Mazda5 has broken out a whole new category," says analyst Tom Libby of J.D. Power & Associates. "We could see that grow." The Mazda5's success means Honda and others could soon be selling similar vehicles—and regular minivans could be on their way out.
Ford Taurus. (Summer, about $25,000) The Taurus, introduced in 1986, was one of Ford's most successful cars of the past 50 years. So for reasons known only in Dearborn, Ford let the car age gracelessly, killed it altogether in 2006, then realized its mistake and attached the Taurus name to another uninspiring sedan. Ford now gets a chance to redeem itself. Early photos of the new model show that "the exterior design looks sharp," according to Edmunds. If that's matched by a crisp ride and handsome interior, Ford may have another winner.
[See 10 cars that sank Detroit.]
Mercedes GLK. (Available now, about $35,000) As the compact crossover segment grows, the luxury niche is going to get more crowded, too. The BMW X3 and Acura RDX were early entries, and the GLK will test whether an ambitious newcomer can muscle them aside. Mercedes also needs to prove it can lure entry-luxe buyers as effectively as BMW and Lexus. The competition will quickly intensify: Audi, Volvo, Lincoln, and Cadillac also have compact crossovers coming soon or in the works.
Honda Fit. (Available now, about $15,000) Just when you thought small, low-budget cars had to be boring, Honda introduced the Fit and proved that a diminutive hatchback can actually be delightful. The Fit drives like a go-cart and has surprising room for cargo, thanks to the rear "MagicSeat" that folds flat into the floor. Fear of costly gas has reintroduced Americans to small cars, and if competitors can't match the Fit's fun and practicality, their customers will simply defect to Honda—and buy even more Civics, Accords, and CR-Vs as they become more prosperous and upgrade.
Ford Flex. (Available now, about $29,000) Ford took a risk on the Flex, creating a cavernous, boxy, and pricey people-hauler that may not connect with consumers in an era of thrift. And Ford needs to sell a lot of them to turn around its money-losing operation and become profitable. Ford's whole restructuring plan is based on the mass-market success of key models like the Flex. If any of them flop, Ford, like GM and Chrysler, could be bailoutbound.
[See 10 cars that could help salvage Detroit.]
Ford F-150. (Available now, upwards of $22,000) This work truck has been Ford's cash cow for years. But sales plunged as the housing bust, $4 gas, and now the recession have crimped buyers. Worse, the new Toyota Tundra full-size pickup threatens to steal customers. Ford hopes that F-150 sales will bounce back vigorously once a housing recovery starts to materialize and contractor activity picks up. "The F-150 is very important for profitability," says Libby. "Ford needs to remain a leader in full-size pickups. And eliminate any erosion of the market to the Tundra."
[See 6 myths about GM, Ford, and Chrysler.]
Hyundai Genesis. (Available now, about $33,000) It's a luxury sedan from a budget nameplate. And surprise: It delivers. "This car has the goods," says Nerad. "But one wonders what the reaction to its brand will be among luxury buyers." If well-heeled buyers bite, it will put pressure on Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, and other luxury makes to lower prices and offer even more features. And if Hyundai succeeds as a luxury brand, expect even more competition in the crowded entry-luxe territory.
Volkswagen Jetta TDI (Available now, about $23,000) Volkswagen is a small player in the U.S. market, and sales of the TDI—the turbo-diesel version of the Jetta sedan—will be low under any scenario. But the TDI is one of the first affordable cars to offer new "clean diesel" technology in the United States. And it's impressive. The TDI's acceleration is lively, with gas mileage you'd expect from the most miserly econobox. Overall mileage averages a thrifty 33 mpg—with highway mileage of 40 mpg. That's with virtually none of the smoky exhaust that characterized diesels of yore. One catch is that the TDI has to be fueled with new low-sulfur diesel, which is more costly than gas and not always widely available. But if the TDI catches on, look for greater access to the fuel, along with more diesel models—and a possible sneak attack on hybrids.

Great News for Home School StudentsPosted Friday, March 20, 2009, at 3:36 AM
T-G Photo by Jimmy Jones
The following bill set to become law as of July 1, 2009 hits close to home for my family as our daughter Lillie Blair-Jones is entering 9th grade in the fall and is home schooled. Needless to say that we are very excited that she will have the same opportunity to play soccer as her peers!
The Bill appears to ensure that home schooled students will be afforded the opportunity to participate in sports, art, music, drama and other activities sponsored by the school system. Tennessee joins 16 other states in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, Washington and Wyoming in allowing this opportunity. The Bill becomes law as of July 1, 2009.

One of their main functions is to work in collaboration with the patient, and at their request, the patient's significant others as well as the entire health care team to establish an individualized treatment and discharge plan. This may include evaluating all post hospital options and services to meet each patient's needs prior to and upon discharge.The Case Management staff works closely with physicians, social services and other nurses to ensure that each patient is receiving the best level of care for their situation and that their transition from discharge to outpatient status is a smooth one.
Case management staff are active across the full continuum of health care services within the three Dignity Health-St. Rose Dominican hospitals. "We want to ensure that the health care delivery process is streamlined to focus on optimal post hospital care for our patients and assist them in navigating the health care transition," said the Market Director of Case Management.
Case Managers also make referrals to Social Workers, integral and specialized members of the Case Management team who make evaluations for issues such as patient and family conferences, community resources, crisis intervention and long-term care applications. In addition, social workers strive to ensure access to needed information on community services and resources that will enhance the patient's opportunity to change or address their own needs.

A $7,000 donation by Councilwoman Beth Mason to the Move Forward Board of Education ticket is at the heart of a political debate in Hoboken.
Because a local ordinance, which was passed by the Hoboken city council, states that political action committees can't donate more than $500 to local elections, Councilman Ravi Bhalla has maintained that Mason is breaking the law by donating more.
The thought behind the ordinance, Bhalla said, is to "try to limit the influence of money in politics."
The issue was first raised by Bhalla during a recent council meeting.
Mason, in turn, maintains that Hoboken's ordinance is pre-empted by state law, and therefore isn't following it.
In an e-mail blast to constituents, Mason wrote, "In an effort to entrench the Board of Education Majority, the political bosses in City Hall enacted an illegal ordinance to restrict my donations to the Move Forward team."
The Move Forward team is made up of Anthony Oland, Felice Vazquez and Elizabeth Markevitch. On election day, they'll be trying to gain a majority of the school board which is currently in hands of Kids First.
Kids First has traditionally been supported by Mayor Dawn Zimmer.
Letters were sent from the city clerk to Move Forward Treasurer Frank Raia as well as Mason's husband Ricky Mason, to notify them that the donation is in violation of the ordinance and that the money should be returned within 30 days.
This is not the first time Bhalla and Mason are at odds about campaign finance law. , in wake of an article in The Star Ledger which alleged that Bhalla had violated the spirit of the state's pay-to-play laws.
In an e-mailed statement to Patch, Mason responded, "Local government does not have a right to legislate political vendettas. I fought City Hall all the way to Supreme Court when they tried to make it very difficult for Hoboken residents to obtain public information and participate in public meetings. I will fight for the rights of Hoboken residents to support whomever they choose."
Elizabeth Mayor Chris Bollwage donated $1,000 to Move Forward, which also wouldn't be allowed under Hoboken's ordinance.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Sara Maisano loved animals. Starting at about age two, she was attracted to petting zoos and had a particular fondness for goats. She gravitated toward stray animals and was so soft-hearted she would have filled up the Maisano house with adopted animals if her family would have let her.
"I used to joke with her that I had her on the 'do not adopt list' at the shelter," said Sara's father, Norman Deputy Police Chief Jim Maisano. "I was afraid another kitten or another puppy would end up in her pocket and come home with her."
Sara watched with great interest as plans for the new Norman Animal Shelter developed.
"She really liked the idea of that little sun room for the cats," Jim Maisano said. "When the project came in and was over budget, she was really sad that the sun room wasn't going to be there."
Sara, 23, was murdered during a domestic dispute on June 27. As Jim, his wife Alicia and daughter Melissa, struggled to walk through the pain and grief, happy memories of Sara's giving spirit and love of animals brought some small consolation.
Now, her family is working to turn tragedy into something positive for the Norman community. As a tribute to Sara, her family is raising the extra money needed to build the cat porch for the new animal shelter planned on South Jenkins Avenue.
"The renovated building is expected to last for at least 20 years, so adding this area would continue and share her love for animals for years to come," Jim Maisano said. "It is estimated that total cost would be about $9,000 to add this item back into the project."
Generous donations from the community and family friends have already raised over $3,000, and matching donations in the amount of $2,000 are expected from two local veterinarians.
Jim Maisano is committed to making the cat porch a reality.
"We don't want Sara to be just that poor girl that was killed," he said. "She loved animals."
A rescued goose was taken to Wildcare and Sara checked on its progress. She doted on her animal companions, a Chihuahua named Cora and a tabby cat named Henry. Alicia and Jim Maisano are now caring for Sara's orphaned pets and say they will continue to treat them with "the same special care and love that she dedicated to them."
And Sara had a particular fondness for goats, her father said.
Sara had just finished her phlebotomy training and was working at Norman Regional Hospital when she was killed.
"She wanted to be somebody that could help people," Jim Maisano said.
Sara worked in the oncology clinic at times, taking blood from people who were going through so much. She would talk to her family about her empathy for those she was trying to help, how when she had to draw blood from a child she tried to be extra gentle.
"She'd help anybody she could," Jim Maisano said.
The family will donate Sara's scrubs back to the hospital. Because she worked primarily at Moore Medical Center, they are hoping some of the employees who lost everything in the tornado might get some use from her scrubs — it's what Sara would have wanted.
"Sara's death was such a tragic loss to us and it was so senseless," he said. "We're trying to look at something positive to do."
The murder occurred in Grady County. Steven Thompson has been charged with the crime. Thompson is also accused of severely beating his fiancé Katie Garner.
"This really impacted all of us," Jim Maisano said. "Just a month after her death, I had a cardiac incident and was taken to the hospital."
Maisano said the murder felt like a terrorist act against his family and all of their friends — so many people were affected by the violence of Sara's death.
"We'll never see her have grandkids and we'll never see her raise her family," he said. "We'll never be back to normal —we've got to find a new type of normal, now, without her."
As an officer of the law, the death of his daughter was particularly brutal for Maisano.
"That was one of my hardest things to deal with in this," he said. "I've spent close to 30 years here trying to protect people from things like this. And then this type of action happens to my family."
Maisano said he's had to deal emotionally with the fact that he couldn't protect Sara.
"She didn't go down there with the intent to get killed," he said. "She went down there to be with a friend of hers from work."
The Maisano family is hoping that doing something positive in Sara's memory will bring healing while also giving back to the Norman community in a way Sara would have liked.
"We would welcome any donations from others who share Sara's love for the care and well-being of animals housed in the Animal Welfare Center," Maisano said. "All donations, $20, $50, $100 or more, adds together quickly to make this project a success which will benefit and assist in adoptions of animals for years to come."
Maisano is raising the money for the cat porch as a father, not in his position as deputy police chief.
Donations can be mailed to: Norman Animal Welfare Center, Norman Police Department, 201-B West Gray Street, Norman, OK 73069. To ensure that the donation is credited to Sara's project write "Sara" or "Cat Porch" on the memo line.

An Introduction to OpenSSL Programming, Part II of II
The quickest and easiest way to secure a TCP-based network application is with SSL. If you're working in C, your best choice is probably to use OpenSSL (www.openssl.org). OpenSSL is a free (BSD-style license) implementation of SSL/TLS based on Eric Young's SSLeay package. Unfortunately, the documentation and sample code distributed with OpenSSL leave something to be desired. Where they exist, the manual pages are pretty good, but they often miss the big picture, as manual pages are intended as a reference, not a tutorial.
Here, we provide an introduction to OpenSSL programming. The OpenSSL API is vast and complicated, so we don't attempt to provide complete coverage. Rather, the idea is to teach you enough to work effectively from the manual pages. In the first part, published in the September issue of Linux Journal, we introduced the basic features of OpenSSL. In this article we show how to use a number of advanced features such as session resumption and client authentication.
For space reasons, this article only includes excerpts from the source code. The complete source code is available in machine-readable format from the author's web site at www.rtfm.com/openssl-examples.
For most of this article we'll be extending the simple client/server pair (wclient and wserver) we presented in Part 1 to create two new programs: wclient2 and wserver2. Like wclient, wclient2 is a simple HTTPS (see RFC 2818) client. It initiates an SSL connection to the server and then transmits an HTTP request over that connection. It then waits for the response from the server and prints it to the screen. This is a vastly simplified version of the functionality found in programs like fetch and cURL.
wserver2 is a simple HTTPS server: it waits for TCP connections from clients, and when it accepts one it negotiates an SSL connection. Once the connection is negotiated, it reads the client's HTTP request. It then transmits the HTTP response to the client. Once the response is transmitted it closes the connection.
Towards the end of this article we'll show a more interactive client (sclient) that is usable for debugging or simple remote login.
When a client and server establish an SSL connection for the first time, they need to establish a shared key called the master_secret. The master_secret is then used to create all the bulk encryption keys used to protect the traffic. The master_secret is almost invariably established using one of two public key algorithms: RSA or Diffie-Hellman (DH). Unfortunately, both of these algorithms are quite slow--on my Pentium II/400 a single RSA operation takes 19 ms. DH can be even slower.
An operation that takes 19 ms may not sound that expensive, but if it has to be done for every connection, it limits the server's throughput to less than 50 connections/second. Without SSL, most web servers can handle hundreds of connections a second. Thus, having to do a key exchange for every client seriously degrades the performance of a web server. In order to improve performance, SSL contains a "session resumption" feature that allows a client/server pair to skip this time consuming step if they have already established a master_secret in a previous connection.
The performance of RSA is highly asymmetric. Operations performed with the private key (such as when the server decrypts the shared key) are much slower than operations performed with the public key. Thus, in most situations most of the computational load is on the server.
SSL makes a distinction between a connection and a session. A connection represents one specific communications channel (typically mapped to a TCP connection), along with its keys, cipher choices, sequence number state, etc. A session is a virtual construct representing the negotiated algorithms and the master_secret . A new session is created every time a given client and server go through a full key exchange and establish a new master_secret.
Multiple connections can be associated with a given session. Although all connections in a given session share the same master_secret, each has its own encryption keys. This is absolutely necessary for security reasons because reuse of bulk keying material can be extremely dangerous. Resumption allows the generation of a new set of bulk keys and IVs from a common master_secret because the keys depend on the random values, which are fresh for each connection. The new random values are combined with the old master_secret to produce new keys.
Block socket with SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY
If I use block socket with SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY
The flag SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY will cause read/write operations to only return after the handshake and successful completion.
Do I have to handle the retrying in SSL_Read and SSL_Write? Isn't it easier to do this way? I know it hurts throughput a little, but is it a big deal?
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

That was Taptalk founder Onno Faber's reply when I asked for his reaction to Bolt, Instagram's new standalone app. Bolt lets you send photos and videos with one-touch by tapping a friend's face…just like Taptalk. And those faces are lined up on the bottom half of the camera screen…just like Taptalk. But that doesn't seem to… Read More
Netflix And AT&T Sign Peering Agreement
Netflix has signed a peering agreement with AT&T that will see the video streaming service pay the ISP for direct connection to its network. Previously, Netflix signed similar agreements with Comcast and Verizon. Interconnection agreements do not deal with how content moves across the network of an ISP, but instead focus on how it gets onto the network. In short, Netflix customers… Read More

American IronHorse, a Texas-based motorcycle production company founded in 1995, underwent a complete reorganization in 2007. In the process, its line of motorcycles was significantly trimmed down to just five models for 2008. The Slammer, its top-of-the-line cruiser, was one of the few to make the cut—and it was only in production for one more year before the company folded.
The standard engine was an S & S 1820cc air-cooled V-twin, but buyers could opt for an S & S 117 or 125 engine. In 2007 the Slammer got a new fuel-injection system, which was continued in 2008. The 1820cc offers 110 bph and 115 ft/lbs. of torque; the other engine options offer more, of course. The engine works with a six-speed chain-driven transmission mounted on the right side; final drive is belt-driven. American IronHorse reworked its clutch in 2006, so shifting in the 2008 models is smooth. Stopping power for the 742-pound machine comes from double disc six-piston calipers in front and single disc four-piston calipers in back.
The 2008 Slammer features Venomous dual tanks that run along either side of the backbone. A four-inch top tube stretch and an extreme 45-degree rake contribute to the long 85-inch wheelbase—and to the lean, elegant lines of the bike. The leather seat is set at a low 25 inches just in front of the rear wheel. The Progressive air-ride suspension lets the rider adjust the cruiser's distance from the road, but the result can be a pretty rough ride. A brawny telescopic fork provides front suspension; rear suspension is twin-sided swing arm and an adjustable spring pre-load shock, with adjustable rebound damping.
American IronHorse offered 18 different base paint options, ranging from Atomic Green to Race Reddi red, and an array of graphics designs, so each buyer could customize the look of his or her bike. Since the custom paint package came with the chromed engine, rims, fork, pipes, and belt guard, the Slammer could come with plenty of bling.

By Tim Graham
INDIANAPOLIS -- The Buffalo Bills set a club preseason record Sunday with 44 points against the Indianapolis Colts.
Rookies played a part in all but six of those points. They scored on offense, defense and special teams. A rookie quarterback took each snap.
"Man, I told the guys before leaving the field, as a unit we did really well," third-round pick Marquise Goodwin said. "We got a lot of things that we can work on.
"The rookie players came in and we did what we were supposed to. We did our job ... and made the Buffalo Bills organization look good out there."
Goodwin, a third-round pick, scored on a spectacular 107-yard kickoff return. Undrafted quarterback Jeff Tuel threw touchdown passes to undrafted receivers Da'Rick Rogers and Brandon Kaufman. Undrafted cornerback Jumal Rolle returned an interception for a touchdown.
The only veteran to score a touchdown, tight end Dorin Dickerson, caught a 17-yard strike from first-round pick EJ Manuel.
Sixth-round pick Dustin Hopkins kicked two field goals and two extra points.
Second-round pick Robert Woods didn't get into the end zone, but he was an important part of Manuel's touchdown drive at the end of the first half. Manuel connected with Woods three times, twice for first downs, on the series.
"We're very proud," Manuel said. "We're all really good friends. Obviously, this is just the first preseason game. We have a long way to go. But I think we're starting to get ourselves some confidence."
Rookie quarterbacks took every Bills snap because Kevin Kolb didn't play. Manuel was 16 of 21 for 107 yards and a touchdown. Tuel completed his first nine passes and was 19 of 23 for 212 yards and two touchdowns. Neither threw an interception.
Second-round linebacker Kiko Alonso had three tackles and a pass defensed.

James P. Vomhof, 84, of Olathe, KS passed away Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at Menorah Medical Center. The family will hold a private service. A Friends and Family Visitation will be held on Sunday, December 9 from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. at Johnson County Community College, 12345 College Boulevard, Overland Park, KS in the Jerry Vincent Dining Room, OCB Room 108. The family suggests contributions to Dawson Community College, 300 College Drive, Glendive, MT 59330 in lieu of flowers.
Cole Johnson of Bloomfield, MT graduated from DCC in 2011 with high honors and was also a member of Phi Theta Kappa.
Dawson Community College alumnus Shelby Lindley was recently named head men's basketball coach and sports information director at Central Wyoming College. He was originally hired as an assistant for Rustler basketball this fall but was promoted when coach Curtis Condie resigned in October.
Originally from Wellsville, Utah Lindley was a member of the DCC men's baseball team where, as a sophomore in 2007, he achieved Mon-Dak first team pitcher and utility player under former Buccaneer head coach Brent Diegel.
Dawson Community College invites all alumni to visit campus Saturday, October 13th. Dust off your shoes and come play. Softball game will be at 11am on the B.L. Baker Field and basketball games will tip off at 3pm with a social at 7pm. Contact our coaches at 406-377-9450 or by email at [email protected] for more details.
Emily O'Callaghan, Sophomore from Glanmire, Ireland, signed with Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), a NCAA Division II school in Manchester, NH.
O'Callaghan will be moving 2,000 miles east of Dawson Community College in Glendive MT this year to play for the Penmen in Manchester, NH. SNHU is a NCAA Division II with a rich tradition of athletics and a student population of 7,300.
#34 Casey Grace, sophomore co-captain from Cork, Ireland, has signed to play Division I basketball with Fairfield University.
A forward, Casey Grace averaged 14 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals/game for the Lady Buccaneers last year. Casey was active in volunteering in the community helping coach the Lil Bucs 7th grade girls traveling basketball.
#22 Christel Enriquez, a guard for the Dawson Community College Buccaneers, has signed to play basketball in Belleville, Illinois. Belleville is the eighth-most populated city outside of the Chicago Metropolitan Area and the most populated city south of Springfield in the state of Illinois with a population of over 44,000. This should be quite a change for Enriquez after playing for the Dawson Community College Buccaneers in Glendive Montana which has a population of around 6,500.
Over the last spring semester Kevin Pena and Tracey Clingingsmith began a fundraiser that will enhance the weight room located in Toepke Center. They are excited about the advantages new equipment could provide.

About the 6th Edition of the APA Manual
The 2010, the 6th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (the Manual) includes some modifications from the 5th edition. In addition the content layout of this 6th edition, there are three major changes relative to manuscripts being prepared. There are additional minor changes.
Major changes are how both manuscript headers and the headings are to be displayed. The manuscript header now includes the running head. Several levels of text headings are in bold. Reference retrieval data for digital resources are significantly modified from the 5th edition with the validation and inclusion of concepts from the 2007 supplement.
Some of the minor changes include the move of the author's note from a separate page to the title page. This move is generally irrelevant to students as author's note is not usually required on student papers. Place of publication data in references include city and state or country where all U.S. states are identified by the U.S. Postal Service abbreviation and the names of all countries other than the U.S. are spelled out.
Consult pages 125-167 of the Manual in regard to issues associated with displaying results in the graphic form of tables, charts, or figures.
The Manual is explicitly designed for the publication process, although its used may also be required by instructors in student papers. The Manual should be consulted for additional information regarding writing style, crediting sources, specific reference examples and nuances of the publication process. Chapters Two and Three are well worth reading to develop better writing skills. Chapter Five provides wonderful background for creating clear and effective graphics.
This website is only to help students quickly find common and relevant information from the manual and web site and is not a component of the American Psychological Association (APA) web presence or APA style manual. The information provided here does not supersede the APA's authority over its own publication style. Consult the APA manual and website (www.apastyle.com) for authoritative information on the current APA publication style.
Components of the Title Page
The title page has five parts, (a) the running head with page number, (b) the title, (c) the author's name, (d) the author's institutional affiliation, and (e) the author's note. Instructors often require specific format and content of author note as needed for academic purposed. Like the rest of the paper, the entire title page is also double spaced between lines of text, as appropriate.
The Running Head (Page Header) With Page Number
The running head or page header is on every page of the manuscript and is located within the top margin. All manuscript pages have the running head and a page number, except those pages that are exclusively graphic and provided for layout purposes. It is comprised of a shortened title in all uppercase, justified left, and a page number justified to the right. This shortened title should convey the main idea of the full title but does not have to be phrased exactly as part of the full title. The title page header is formatted slightly differently to include the phrase Running head: (APA, 2010, p. 229). Every page should have the text of the header but only the title page had the Running head: phrase. Exclusive of this phrase, the text of header should be no more than 50 characters, including spaces and capitalization. Page numbering uses Arabic numerals, is justified right, include the title page as 1 with every page consecutively numbered. "Use the automatic functions of your word-processing program to generate headers and page number for your file" (APA, 2010, p. 230).
If you are using MS Word, use the Insert function to first insert the page number at the top right (Figure 1).
Copy the entire line and then click on the Different First Page option (Figure 2).
Figure 1
Figure 2
The title of the paper should be a summary of the main idea of the paper and "be fully explanatory when standing alone" (APA, 2010, p. 23). A title like "Assignment Two" does not convey any information about the content of the paper while a title, "Student Understanding and Use of APA Formatting Techniques" may be a better title. While 12 words is the recommended maximum length, do not use contractions or abbreviations to fit within this length. "The title should be typed in uppercase and lowercase letters, centered between the left and right margins, and positioned in the upper half of the page" (APA, 2010, p. 23).
The full title is in two locations on the paper, once in the top half of the title page and once beginning as the first line of the first page of the manuscript text (APA, 2010, p. 28). The title at the beginning of the manuscript page is identical in format to the one on the title page, in uppercase and lowercase letters and centered within the left and right margins. The text of the content of the manuscript follows in normal paragraph form, left justified with the first line of each paragraph indented 0.1 in.
Author Name(s), Institutional Affiliation, and Author Note
Below the title, the author or authors' names should be listed by order of contribution, when the first author contributed more to the content of the paper than subsequent ones (APA, 2010, p. 24). The list of authors of a student paper created by a team of students may be in alphabetical order as the students are equally responsible for the content. Whether a single author or multiple authors, list specific authors by full first name, middle initial as appropriate, then surname and DO NOT include titles or degrees (e.g., Rev., Dr., RN, MSN) (APA, 2010, p. 23). If there are two authors, separate the authors' names with an and. If there are three or more authors, separate the authors' names with a comma and use an and just before the last author's name. On the next line below the name of the author or authors' should be the institutional affiliation. Spell out the name of the institution fully, for example, The University of Texas at Arlington (APA, 2010, pp. 23-24). In some cases of course work, student institutional affiliation may also include the specific university or college department. The author note is not usually included on student papers although some instructors may require instructor and course information in place of the author's note.

When the moon is in the seventh house, maybe you'll find the right astrological love match, but there are signs of the zodiac that no matter how the planets align, it just isn't in the stars.
Just like the elements they represent, fire (Aries, Sagittarius, Leo) and water (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) signs many times don't mix, and clashes of titans from the air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) and earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) signs have been known to move heaven and earth, and not in a good way.
But remember, this isn't an exact science. Sometimes fire and fire burn out too quickly (just ask Britney Spears and Kevin Federline) or earth plus water in the end just turns into ... well, mud (see Jim Carrey (Capricorn) and Jenny McCarthy (Scorpio) or perhaps even the royal couple of Prince William, a Cancer, and Kate Middleton, a Capricorn).
So before you jump feet first into an astrological love match nightmare, here are five of the absolute worst astrological pairings on the planet.
No. 5: Gemini and Aries
Gemini is the sign of the twin, so take that into consideration first and foremost. Known for their split personalities, they need a submissive companion sign to handle their on again, off again moods.
That submissiveness isn't something they are likely to find in large amounts should they find themselves falling for Aries.
Rather, when the chameleon-like Gemini has changed his/her personality one too many times, you can bet your lucky ram's horn keychain that the surefooted Aries is going to fly.
Gemini also has a deficit in the "seeing what's right in front of them" department, while Aries is prone to infidelity (Mr. Jesse James, I presume?).
This love match, in most cases, will be more volatile than a pinball machine. Tilt.
Famous Gemini-Aries couples -- past and present: Sandra Bullock (Gemini) and Jesse James (Aries), and Warren Beatty (Aries) and Annette Bening (Gemini).
No. 4: Cancer and Aquarius
Out and about Aquarius and couch potato Cancer will clash on many levels, but none more than intimacy and settling down.
The Aquarian's cool, almost iciness, demeanor will frustrate the emotional touchy feely Cancer, and it is difficult for the two to connect as Aquarius is guarded while Cancer pleads for openness. Aquarius likes their freedom, while clingy Cancer prefers to remain isolated in its hard crab shell.
While Aquarians are sexual adventure seekers, conservative Cancers lean more to the cuddly, sensual side of the bed. Family, home and stability are the three things that Cancers seek, while aloof Aquarius just lives to be the life of the party.
No one is saying the Crab and the Waterbearer can't find common ground, but let's just say that it's going to take a lotta love to change the way things are.
Famous Cancer-Aquarius couples: Natalie Wood (Cancer) and Robert Wagner (Aquarius), Nancy (Cancer) and Ronald Reagan (Aquarius), and Lindsay Lohan and Wilmar Valderrama.

The cart looks great in my kitchen. I ordered knobs (from an online hardware site) to match my kitchen cabinets. It took 3 1/2 hours to assemble including the time to disassemble it to the point needed. There are no directions for Part #10, the small piece of the back of the cart and I had to disassemble half the cart to install the piece. Additionally, I incorrectly assembled the drawers and the cabinet doors. You have to look VERY closely at the assemply photos which are the instructions to notice which direction to assemble these pieces. The small shelf under on the left side of the cart was damaged. The small wooden connector was jammed in too hard by the manufacturer and it cracked the shelf. It isn't too noticeable. But, I would have asked for another cart if I'd seen it on a store showroom but sending it back for a replacement would have been difficult. I love the cart but wish the instructions would have been clearer.
I ordered this kitchen cart as it matched perfectly with my rustic kitchen furniture. It is really comfortable to use and more it is highly functional. I can place my tools on the shelves, in the drawers and easily place my bowls and things on the top. The cart looks amazing with its clean white color and simple design. The quality is high while the price was affordable. Cooking and serving became a child�s game with this cart.
It fits perfectly in my kitchen and is very useful as more storage and counter space. I like the shelves to place salad bowls on since I have designated the cart as the salad cart. Of course it is a leaning place for guests without them getting in my way. The assembly was a bit complicated (be sure to insert the back panel of the drawer section you put the side panels on.) I have gotten lots of compliments on it and have priced them in Big Lots and this one is a lot cheaper and of same quality and construction.
For the money (and compared to carts costing twice as much), this is an excellent addition to small kitchens. Although it is not a very deep cart, the added counter space, shelves and drawers make it irreplaceable. The "butcher-block" look top contrasts nicely with the white finish elsewhere, and adds at least the feel of durability. Perhaps most usefully (in my case), the caster wheels roll easily - but, importantly, also lock in place when required - and therefore allows the cart to easily be moved out of the main kitchen area when not needed. Overall, very happy with the product!
I was nervous about purchasing this item because it's so hard to gauge quality online, but after careful consideration, I went ahead with it - and I'm glad I did. The shipping was quick and it only took about an hour and a half to assemble (with two people). The quality isn't exactly top notch, but for the price I'd say it's right about what you'd expect. The only thing I'm not crazy about was the back of the cart. Since I planned to use it as an island, I wanted it to look nice both front and back. The back slots are just particle board painted white instead of the actual wood pieces. It doesn't look terrible, but would've been nice to know ahead of time. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase.
Good value for the money. The wood top is very nice. The wheels are sturdy. The white boards are a little thin. A few of the fasteners were difficult to reach during assembly. Overall it looks nice and will serve its purpose well.
I love this cabinet! I recently bought several small appliances that I wanted to keep off the kitchen counter. I put this cabinet in the breakfast room and it is just perfect for my purposes. There is plenty of room for storage as long as you don't have anything big that you want to put in the cabinets. The drawers aren't big but are just right for boxes of ziplock bags, aluminum foil, saran wrap, foodsaver rolls, etc. It looks nice and rolls easily. There really isn't anything about it that I don't like. It did take quite a bit of time to put together. It wasn't difficult but I found it hard to follow the pictures because they weren't completely clear. I had to take some of it apart twice because I had made a mistake. Watch for the very subtle details in the pictures. If you haven't ever put anything like this together, you might have trouble because there aren't any instructions, only pictures.
Customer Service was terrific. One of the doors arrived damaged and a replacement was promptly sent to me. Putting it together was frustrating because the instructions were a little difficult to follow. It was just what I have been looking for and it looks great.
The cart arrived quickly. It took me about 2 hours to put it together. The left door came damaged. I emailed customer service and within two weeks had a new door (and the rep followed up with me every couple days to make sure I knew what was happening with my request). The cart is very sturdy. Overall, extremely happy with the purchase!
This rolling cart was easy to assemble and is a great product for the price. The cabinets and drawers are large enough to reduce a lot of clutter. It is great for a smaller kitchen if you are concerned about the room it takes.The best part is that it is portable.
