Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
Review: 2007 Kia Rondo
This 2007 review is representative of model years 2007 to 2009.
By Ann Job of MSN Autos
There's yet another alternative for consumers turning away from sport-utility vehicles but who still want easy-to-use cargo room, a higher ride height than a sedan, confident, car-like handling and maybe even seats for up to seven people.
It's the new-for-2007 Kia Rondo—a tallish, 5-door wagon that separates itself from the pricey SUVs and newfangled crossover SUVs by starting at just over $16,000 for a 5-passenger model and around $17,000 for a 7-passenger model. (Be aware that at introduction, air conditioning was a $900 add-on for the base Rondo but was standard on up-level models.)
All Rondos come otherwise quite well-equipped with standard 6-way, adjustable driver's seat with height adjustment, 4-way front passenger adjustable seat, automatic on/off headlights, 16-inch wheels and tires, cruise control, power door locks and windows and dual-storage covered front center armrest.
And even the top-of-the-line Rondo EX V6—with a 182-horsepower V6, automatic transmission, seven seats and every manner of factory option available, including leather interior trim, power moonroof, upgraded Infinity AM/FM stereo and rear spoilers—barely breaks the $25,000 level.
Best of all, with many standard safety features, including six airbags and electronic stability control, the Rondo received five out of five stars for frontal crash protection. In side crash testing it got five stars for front-seat passenger protection and four stars for rear-seat protection.
Fuel economy in the Rondo is best with the base 162-horsepower 4-cylinder engine. Mated to a 4-speed automatic, it was rated at 21 miles a gallon in city driving and 29 mpg on the highway for 2007, which is about average for a 4-cylinder wagon.
Pleasant but not memorable looks
Looking at pictures, you might not believe that the Rondo can hold three rows of seats. It doesn't look that big on paper, especially from the side view which makes it look like a competitor to the little Honda Fit hatchback.
But you have to see the Rondo in person to grasp the real dimensions.
At nearly 15 feet long, the Rondo is about 2 feet longer than the Fit. It's also 5.5 inches wider and 5 inches taller. Basically, the Rondo's exterior size is more like that of a 2007 Honda CR-V.
Indeed, Rondos have lots of headroom, good room between the front seats and in three-row configurations, second-row seats slide fore and aft to help passengers allocate legroom between the rows.
Rondos with five seats have a fixed second row and more cargo volume—35 cubic feet vs. 31.7 cubic feet for the seven-seat version.
Second- and third-row seats fold down flat when not needed.
Good power from both engines
I barely could notice shift points, and power came on quickly with torque peaking at 164 lb-ft at 4250 rpm. In fact, I didn't notice much straining of the four cylinder, even on highways, and I wondered if the V6 really is necessary. (Kia officials project 70 percent of Rondos will be sold with the 4 cylinder.)
Overall engine sounds were pleasant, and the Rondo interior was quieter than expected, with just wind noise emanating at highway speeds.
The V6 is nicer and more refined, of course, and likely would be a good choice for buyers who get—and use frequently—three rows of seats.
Decent ride
But as I drove, I still couldn't see past pickup trucks, SUVs and vans in front of me.
The test Rondo rolled over road bumps without fuss and kept the rough stuff away from passengers without being floaty or cushy in its ride.
At the wheel, I liked the decent on-center feel of the power-assisted, rack-and-pinion steering and came away with an overall impression of a stable, well-managed ride.
I also appreciated the good placement of a "dead pedal"—a flat, sort of upright spot to the left of the pedals for the driver to brace his or her left foot.
Industry-leading warranty
Note this warranty is important, because despite talk by Kia officials that vehicle quality is improving, the quality of other automakers is improving, too. And Kia's ratings in recent, much-publicized, J.D. Power and Associates' Initial Quality Study and Vehicle Dependability Study remained below industry average.
Some items not offered
These include all-wheel drive, navigation system, rear-park assist and home and gate opener.
And while the Rondo's third row seat is usable by children, it may not be a resting spot for adults who are riding around all day.
Lastly, consumers who prefer sporty performance will find more powerful wagons elsewhere.
For example, the Mazda CX-7 comes with a turbocharged 4 cylinder generating 244 horses and 258 lb-ft at 2500 rpm while Saturn's Outlook crossover has at 270 horsepower.
But Kia's Rondo has more cupholders than seats! The 5-passenger Rondo comes with eight cupholders, while the 7-passenger Rondo has 10 cupholders.

Harold Ramis Passes Away at 69
A prolific comedy figurehead in the late 70s and early 80s, Harold Ramis started as a writer and performer on the Canadian based sketch comedy series SCTV, where he met many of the iconic comedy actors he would later go onto work with throughout his storied career. He was known for being a jack of all trades when it came to comedy film, directing such seminal classics as Caddyshack, Vacation, and Groundhog Day. As a writer, he penned Animal House, Meatballs and Stripes, where he co-starred alongside friend and on-screen comedy partner Bill Murray. The two would later go onto work side by side in the iconic Ghostbusters, where he played parapsychologist and ghost hunter Dr. Egon Spengler.
He was last seen in the comedy Year One, which he directed. He was in the midst of planning Ghostbusters 3, which would have seen him return as Egon. He had spent the last several years helping develop the movie alongside co-star Dan Aykroyd.
Harold Ramis was surrounded by family when he passes away early in the morning on February 24, at 12:53 am. He had been struggling with the rare blood vessel disease since being diagnosed in 2010. An infection led to complications that saw him having to relearn how to walk in 2011. His struggles where never widely reported on by the press.
Harold Ramis is noted for inspiring a new generation of comedy writers and directors, including Judd Apatow and The Farrelly Brothers. He is remembered as an all-around good guy, and is survived by his wife, Erica Mann Ramis.

Another saddening loss of an industry icon.
Note that he's had these complications and issues for a while and yet managed to keep it relatively out of the press. Other celebrities get a parking ticket and its practically everywhere you look on the news and in tabloids... *le sigh* I give the man even further props after learning of that.
We'll miss you Ramis. Stripes, Ghostbusters, and Groundhog Day are among favorites to watch with my old man. R.I.P.

May he rest in peace... Sad.. Just shocked... With this, there will be no Egon for Ghostbusters 3. If he was even in the story which sounded to be a bit wishy washy on who was in. But I do hope his passing causes Bill Murray to forgive and forget his petty issues with Harold. And, maybe he might do Ghostbuster 3 for his memory.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Now that two of Wisconsin's neighboring states allow medical marijuana, Democrats in the Badger State will try again to allow the same thing here.
Representative Chris Taylor and Senator Jon Erpenbach, both from the Madison area, expect to introduce their measure this fall.
Taylor says it's still being drafted.
On Thursday, Illinois became the 20th state to allow medicinal marijuana.
Advocate Gary Storck of the group "Is My Medicine Legal Yet" says the Wisconsin Republican majority remains staunchly opposed, in spite of strong public support for medicinal pot for over 10 years.
Actually, it was Democrats who failed to get the last Wisconsin effort approved in 2009.
Erpenbach and former Assembly Democrat Mark Pocan were able to get public hearings for that measure, but it went no further.
Advocates lined up at those hearings to say they needed marijuana medicine for their chronic pain, and to regain their appetites after cancer treatments.
Taylor says her bill would let patients grow up to 10 marijuana plants and possess up to three-ounces.
Patients could also buy pot at state-controlled care centers. The Illinois law only allows medicinal marijuana to be sold at dispensaries.
Storck calls it too restrictive.

Shooting Attack on Israeli Outpost in Occupied Shebaa Farms; No Casualties Reported
Israeli troops occupying the foothills of the Golan Heights fired several mortar rounds on the outskirts of a Lebanese village on Monday, witnesses said.
Reuters reported Israeli troops stationed in the occupied Shebaa Farms region had targeted an area of olive groves and oak trees around the Lebanese village of Kfar Shouba.
Israeli troops occasionally shell or aim machinegun fire at the edges of Kfar Shouba to try and ward off what they regard as potential infiltration by the Lebanese Resistance Hizbullah guerrillas.
Earlier, Israeli military sources said that one or more gunmen opened fire on an Israeli outpost in the Shebaa Farms area. Israeli troops fired illumination flares into the sky around the outpost and Israeli helicopters hovered above the scene. No casualties reported.
Earlier in the day, Hizbullah anti-aircraft gunners in southern Lebanon opened fire on Israeli jets patrolling the Israeli Lebanese border region.
The anti-aircraft shells resulted in no casualties or damage when they crashed into Israel, according to the Jerusalem Post.
Israeli planes flying along the western end of the border region suffered no damage as well, the same report added. (Albawaba.com)

Duluth, MN (KDAL) - The search for two daughters allegedly taken by their father, which led authorities through Minnesota, has come to an end as authorities located all three in Montana. The Citrus County Sheriff's Office in Florida says Edward Peters was just taken into custody in Sweetwater, Montana earlier this morning. According to investigators, the 45 year-old Peters took his daughters McKala and Madison against the wishes of their court ordered guardian. Both girls were found with Peters and were reported to be doing well. At one point in the search last week authorities said Peters could be in northern Minnesota with his daughters in a stolen vehicle from Michigan.

In just three months of extremely choppy external markets, Project Jaguar scored a coup.
As international banks
ran scared of taking on emerging market risk it corralled a
largely Central American bank group to get cracking on a power
project deemed crucial to Guatemalas future.
Jaguar closed a $350
million 10-year project finance loan at the beginning of April
2010, paying Libor plus 575 basis points. The tenor is longer
than expected for Guatemala, where 5-7 years for project
finance is more typical.
Jaguar involves construction of a 300 megawatt solid
fuel-fired power plant to supply thermal based energy to
Guatemala. China Machine New Energy Corporation (CMNE) is the
builder. Cabei and Bancolombia were...

|Transport to/from Logan Airport
Here's how to travel between Logan Airport and Boston, and cities beyond Boston, by subway train, city bus, intercity bus, airport shuttle van, water shuttle, limo and taxi.
Arrival by Plane
Boston's Logan International Airport (BOS) is one of the busiest in the USA, but it is well organized, and has the advantage of being very near the center of the city, as airports go.
After you get your bags, look for the signs to buses, taxis, and "limo," and after a few steps you'll see the stops.
Into Boston by Blue Line Subway Train
Massport Shuttle Buses (run by the Massachusetts Port Authority) run the Logan Airport loop road free of charge. The bus goes to all terminals and to the MBTA Blue Line Airport subway station, where you can take a Blue Line train to Boston.
Trains run every 8 to 12 minutes from 5:30 am to 1 am. The ride takes only 10 minutes to Government Center once you board the train.
Leave the train at the Aquarium station for hotels near the Aquarium, or leave at Government Center for hotels near Faneuil Hall Marketplace. At Government Center you can also connect with Green Line trains for hotels near North Station, hotels near Boston Common, hotels near Beacon Hill, hotels in the Theater District, and hotels in Back Bay.
Into Boston by Silver Line Bus
MBTA subway Silver Line buses stop right in front of all Logan Airport terminals, then go via the Seaport District, its hotels, and the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center to South Station Transportation Center, from which you can take MBTA subway Red Line trains to Park Street Station (for hotels near Boston Common and hotels near Beacon Hill) and to Cambridge hotels, MBTA Commuter Rail trains to towns west and south of Boston, and Amtrak trains to cities and states west and south of Boston.
Into Boston by Water Shuttle
The Logan Airport Dock serves water shuttles between Logan Airport and Rowe's Wharf (map), at the Boston Harbor Hotel on Atlantic Avenue in Boston (a voyage of less than 10 minutes); and the towns of Quincy and Hull; and water taxis to 15 other docks along the Boston waterfront. More...
Trips to Rowe's Wharf run every 15 minutes between 6 am and 8 pm on weekdays, every half hour from noon to 8pm on Sundays and holidays. From Rowe's Wharf it's only a few blocks to South Station Transportation Center's Amtrak and Commuter Rail train, Red Line subway, and intercity bus stations.
Into Boston by Shuttle & Limo
The Massport website has a function called the GetUthere app which helps you find the sort of ground transportation you want. More...
Into Boston by Taxi
A taxi from Logan Airport to downtown Boston will cost between $15 and $30 for the ride, plus $3 toll, plus airport fee, plus excess baggage charge (if any), plus tip. Figure $20 to $45 altogether, depending on how far you travel.
Travel to Cities Beyond Boston
Many intercity buses stop at both Logan Airport and Boston's South Station Bus Terminal, saving you the trouble of traveling between the bus terminal and the airport by other means. More...
For train travel, go to North Station (for MBTA Commuter Rail trains north and west, and Amtrak Downeaster trains to Portland, Maine), or to South Station for MBTA Commuter Rail trains and Amtrak trains west and south to Worcester MA, Springfield MA, Providence RI and New York City.

Comments about Conservarte Guitar Pitch Pipe:
real nice, couple of the mouth hole gimmicks are a little sketchy, you blow easy in it. basically it's 1 octave higher than what your guitar should be unless you're Nashville tuning the low E to the G strings then the B and high E are still an octave high but if you can tune by ear then it's a must have. buy it now.

Record number of youngsters turning up to watch the Blues.
A record number of junior Blues are now flooding through the turnstiles at Goodison Park, with the number set to increase as parents snap up Half Season Tickets for the next generation of Evertonians.
Since Half Season Tickets went on sale on Monday, sales have more than doubled compared to the same day last year, with twice as many junior supporters guaranteeing their seat for the second half of the season.
And the new wave of junior Blues arrives on top of already impressive numbers of young Evertonians who secured their seat for the full season back in August.
The Club underlined their commitment to the supporters of the future with the introduction of the fantastic 'fiver a game' offer earlier this year for the FA Cup home ties.
The initiative was such a success that a £95 Season Ticket was introduced for Under-11s and more than 1,500 kids committed to join the Goodison faithful for this season.
The competitive prices also led to a 39 per cent increase in the overall number of Season Ticket holders under the age of 16.
In addition, more juniors are buying tickets match-by-match to watch the Blues in action this season, with the Club seeing a 19 per cent increase in the number of tickets sold to Under-16s compared to the same time last year.
With the Blues in fine form and Goodison offering enhanced matchday activities for youngsters, there's no better time to introduce a whole new generation of Evertonians to Goodison Park.
Half Season Tickets are now on sale and kids under the age of 11 can secure their seat for the second half of the season for only £50 – the lowest priced Half Season Ticket to date.
Prices for juniors (Under-16s) have been frozen and start at £99, while adults can buy a Half Season Ticket from just £289.
To buy your Half Season Ticket, visit the Box Office at Goodison Park, Everton Two in Liverpool One, call the Fan Centre on 0871 663 1878 or click here.

'An Abundance of Katherines' by John Green
Published on Monday, September 23, 2013 - 9:02am
One of the big events libraries celebrate in September is Banned Books Week, where we highlight the mission of the library to provide information and entertainment on all topics and viewpoints, even if some readers might find it offensive. One of the authors we highlight during this time is John Green, whose works are often challenged in libraries across the country.
Toward that end, take a look at one of Green's most interesting works, An Abundance of Katherines.
Colin just graduated from high school, which ends his status as a child prodigy, and puts in doubt whether or not he will ever fulfill his desperate desire to become a genius. The end of high school also ends his relationship with his girlfriend Katherine, the nineteenth girl he's dated that has had that name.
His friend Hassan takes him on a road trip to help relieve his misery, and the two end up in Gutshot, Tenn. There they meet an interesting cast of characters, who inspire Colin to create his Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he thinks will help him become a genius and save him from ever being dumped again. But it might just be the other things that Colin and Hassan find in Gutshot that will help the prodigy get a new lease on life.
Few of the readers of this book will ever be called child prodigies or geniuses, but despite that, they will definitely be able to relate to Colin and his nearly-as-smart friend Hassan. Despite his many character flaws, Colin is perversely likable, especially as his time in Gutshot brings his flaws to light and he works a bit on fixing them.
Hassan and Lindsey, the book's female protagonist, have similar transformative experiences. There is witty dialogue and banter between the three teens, but be warned that it can be as crass as it can be humorous, something that will appeal to teen readers but may not to those out of high school and college. Gutshot is described in great detail, and transforms from a tourist trap to a beautiful place to grow up. Some interesting extra information not explained in the story can be found in the often humorous footnotes and some great end material.
In the end, this is a great title that will appeal to a lot of male and a few female teen readers, even if the math might be a bit over their heads.
An Abundance of Katherines is recommended for mid- to late-teen readers. Check it out along with other books by John Green at MLK Library or your local DC Public Library branch today.

STAR OCEAN: Second Evolution - PSP - Preview
Square-Enix has been visiting its Star Ocean franchise recently, releasing the series on the PSP in lead up to the upcoming Xbox 360 entry Star Ocean: The Last Hope. Last month saw the release of the first remake, Star Ocean: The First Departure, while January will see the second PSP entry of the series, Star Ocean: Second Evolution.
A remake of Star Ocean: Second Story on the original PlayStation, Second Evolution is mostly the same as the PS One version, save for some new enhancements like voice work, anime cutscenes, and reworked graphics that take advantage of the PSP's gorgeous screen.
Second Evolution begins by having you select between two different characters, Claude and Rena, as Claude gets separated from his world and ends up getting roped into being the savior of Rena's. The game gives you a nice way to look at the full perspective of the story by allowing you to be either one character to see their interpretation of the events that unfold.
The majority of the gameplay is fairly similar to other RPGs that launched on the original PlayStation, meaning that you'll spend a lot of time going from town to town, talking to villagers and running quests into dungeons and so on. The whole experience is pretty old-school, which is understandable considering that the game is a remake of a game from several console generations ago.
The game's combat system is a fast-paced affair that has you utilizing the X and shoulder buttons to attack and perform your special arts attacks. The combat moves very fast and fluidly, which does well for the flow of the game.
Graphically, the game looks just like the PSP original, with the same 2D sprites set against detailed static backgrounds. The look has been updated to take advantage of the PSP's widescreen capabilities, with higher resolutions and sharper textures.
The game features the same score as the original, but now also boasts a ton of voice acting. While the dialogue is a bit stilted, it's still nice to have it in the game.
So far, Star Ocean: Second Evolution is shaping up to be a solid remake of a beloved classic, and should be just the primer that fans of the series will want to check out before the launch the brand new Xbox 360 title. Look for it to release January 20.

Netflix takes another jab
Shares slip after Amazon strikes a streaming deal with CBS.
By Jeanine Poggi, TheStreet
The chips keep stacking higher against Netflix (NFLX), with Amazon (AMZN) announcing a streaming partnership with CBS (CBS) on Wednesday.
As part of the agreement, the e-commerce giant will allow its Prime users to stream CBS' television content. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Starting this summer, Amazon will add 2,000 episodes, growing its total number of Prime instant videos to more than 8,000 movies and television shows. It will also offer full seasons for 18 popular television series, including The Tudors, Numb3rs, Medium, the complete Star Trek franchise, Frasier and Cheers.
The move comes as Netflix has faced stark criticism from subscribers after a rate hike and outage.
Last week, the movie-rental company announced it is splitting up its popular DVD-by-mail and streaming subscription combo into two packages, which will now cost $16 per month, compared with $9.99.
Netflix experienced an outage over the weekend that lasted eight hours. The company said internal issues were resolved.
However, CNBC reports that Amazon is paying CBS 40% more than Netflix pays for its content from the network.
Shares of Netflix were falling 1.7% to $282.43 in afternoon trading Wednesday.

Netflix is opening itself up to future competition by alienating loyal customers now. If the service was flawless (no broken discs) and the entire contents of its library were available for streaming, it could probably get away with charging $30/mo, but as it is, it's shooting itself in the foot.
For my part, when a company's management shows me disrespect, I feel no compunction about spending my dollars elsewhere, even if service is equal. There are companies I use that cost marginally more, but in whose service i can rely. This Amazon deal is certainly worth looking at and I now have little reason to stay with Netflix OR to return even if they change policies [which would probably only be temporarily].
My guess is that they are in trouble and have done the math for what they will need to do to keep the stock going. After all this is what it is all about now and nothing more. It is a shame that companies have to make this change from being a great company to focusing so much on revenue that they lose sight of why they were great in the first place.
I can afford the price increase, but I am not going to reward their greed. I choose to walk away and find an alternative where I am appreciated as a customer. I think they truly don't understand that the loyalty they built through years has just been destroyed in a day.

Part of the Washington Examiner's weeklong commentary series on labor unions. To see the entire series, click here.
Until the union came calling, Pamela Harris was an Illinois homemaker devoted to caring for her developmentally disabled son, Josh.
Now she's the lead plaintiff in Harris v. Quinn, a Supreme Court case legal experts think could dramatically restrict Big Labor's ability to organize in the public sector.
Harris has taken care of Josh, 25, in her home since 2007 with assistance from her state's Medicaid-funded Home Services Program.

"He's my first thought in the morning and my last thought at night, and every night my prayer is to live one more day than he does," she told the Washington Examiner.
But in 2009, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, a Democrat who received heavy support from the Services Employees International Union, issued an executive order that said the program's 4,500 workers for the mentally disabled were state employees and therefore eligible for union representation.
SEIU, which gets $10 million annually in dues from caregivers for the physically disabled, stood to reap about $2 million a year from organizing workers in the program that helped Harris. But she saw it as taking money from her son's care.
"I'm against money being taken from Josh's support and services to pay the union," she said.
Harris quickly found out that her priorities were not those of the state — or the union. Her inquiries hit a wall of bureaucratic opposition.
It all began for her when SEIU organizers knocked on her front door one day. The state had given them her contact information without her knowledge.
The organizers told Harris the union could use its clout to get more money into the program. She could get time and half, benefits and even vacation. But Harris didn't buy it.
Increasing funding in one part of the program just meant less funding elsewhere. And more pay for her would likely mean fewer hours that could be charged to the state for Josh's care.
"This program is capped. There is X amount of dollars, specifically three times [Supplemental Security Income]. SSI is determined by the federal government," she said.
Being a union member also meant that her home would become a union workplace. SEIU officials would have the right to enter it anytime they chose for an inspection.
"Union workplaces have to display a union bulletin board. I ask you: Does that go over the family mantle?" she said.
She politely but firmly told SEIU's organizers no, but they persisted.
"On the first SEIU visit, I was presented with a white card and a pen to sign so they could show their bosses that they did come to talk to me," Harris said. It sounded fishy to her, so she didn't sign.
"I later found out that it was the union's signature card," she said. That is, it was a "Card Check" vote that would have been used by SEIU to claim she wanted to join.
Labor officials knocked on her door twice more. The second one was a "big, burly, linebacker-looking guy" who again asked her to sign a card. She again refused.
The third was an SEIU official who told Harris she could get a well-paying part-time job with the union that she could do at home. "It was a bribe," she said.
The state meanwhile sent Harris a form letter to explain things. "It was a very brief letter and it pretty much said, 'Yes, the governor signed an executive order. It's copied on the back. If you have any questions, call this person at this number.' "
So she called the number and spoke to a state official. "He said: 'There is nothing I can share with you that isn't in the executive order.' "
Harris asked a state social worker, who periodically visited her to check on Josh, for more information. She also said she couldn't share anything beyond the executive order.
"They were not allowed to answer any of our questions about what unionization would mean. There was not one entity who was responsible for telling the families what their rights were," Harris said.
So she researched the issue on her own late at night while Josh slept.
Harris learned that Quinn's order did not require workers join a union. It merely said they were eligible to have one.
But once a union could claim it had the backing of more than 50 percent of caregivers — through cards like the one SEIU tried to get Harris to sign — the state could grant it exclusive representation rights.
That would require all of the workers, even those who never signed a card, to at least pay SEIU a "representation" fee.
The lucky break came when other unions wanted in on the potential financial windfall. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees challenged SEIU for representation of the workers like Harris.
That set up a mail-in ballot where workers could have their say on which union would represent them, or whether they wanted one at all.
Harris filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the state demanding the same worker contact information that the unions got.
She then sent all of the families in the program a letter urging them to vote and pointing out there was a third option called "no union representation."
It was all done on her kitchen table and at a Kinkos. The funds were mainly donations from other families in the program.
"I'd get the mail ... and it would be, 'Here's $5.' 'Here's a check for $20.' I still have all of those letters. It was the most heartwarming, supportive inspiration," Harris said.
The caregivers soundly rejected unionization by a 2-1 margin in the October 2009 mail-in vote. SEIU and AFSCME did not even get 40 percent of the vote combined. Harris was there for the vote count: "The single most exhilarating experience I've ever had," she said.
But Quinn did not rescind the executive order, meaning the unions remain free to keep trying. Harris then reached out to the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation to challenge the governor's order.
Oral arguments at the Supreme Court were heard in January. The justices are expected to rule on the case in June.
Harris says she is just happy to have had her day in court.
"A mom in Illinois raised her hand and said, 'This isn't right,' " she marveled. "The system really does work."

Jones and Teti Traveled to LA to Attend VGAs; Take $80 Cab Rides
So I swore up and down that I wouldn't get on another plane this year.
An opportunity came up a few weeks back to head to California to be "Intern For A Day" at Ready At Dawn in Irvine (look for the story this week), and voila, through a series of frantically exchanged emails and phone calls, Teti and I both found ourselves enroute to the airport (he from JFK; me from YVR) to LA. Since we were already in the City of Angels, we decided to attend Spike TV's Videogame Awards on Saturday night. We didn't have tickets, but we figured that pair of sharply dressed, well-connected guys would have no trouble getting in.
How wrong we were.
I called in favors. I asked everyone I knew for help. The answer, time and time again, from other people and from Spike TV itself was: "You're on the WAITING LIST." (This is the way the Spike TV person described it, caps and all.)
Fellow Game Truster Gus Mastrapa had a ticket. Seems someone from Spike had actually invited him. This fact made Teti and I feel terrible. Well, it made me feel terrible. I can't vouch for Teti's feelings.
Teti and I decided to make the best of it. We put on ties, combed our hair, then treated ourselves on a rainy Saturday night in LA to filets and lobster tails and gin and tonics at the Pacific Dining Car.
Afterwards, we headed to a VGA after-party at a place that had low lighting, fancy drinks, and a dozen or so taxidermied deer heads, antlers and all, mounted on the walls. We sat alone at the end of the bar, talking about women and drinking gin and trying to see if we recognized any of the people filtering in. Eventually some journos arrived, followed by a few public relations people. Maybe it was sympathy for our ticket-less status, but most colleagues summed up the experience with these words: "You didn't miss much."
I also heard, off the record, that there were more than a few empty seats in the auditorium that were being filled by that mysterious awards-show group of people known as The Seat Fillers. (Which, it just occurred to me, would make for a decent Rock Band name.) Other attendees discussed the fact that the show didn't have a proper host, which made for a somewhat confusing, identity-less experience. Seems the person who generated the most excitement of the show was Mike Tyson.
The bar filled with my people--developers, writers, PR people, etc. I hugged and kissed as many people as I could. How I love my people. I lost Teti for awhile in the crowds. Then I found him. Then I lost him again. As the night wore on, industry people began to vanish. Suddenly, the bar was filled with Chinese people. I'm not kidding. The whole place was Chinese people. Young Chinese people too, with their dates, drinking these fancy drinks in the low light. This must be a preferred destination for young, hip LA Chinese. Finally, out of the crowd of Chinese people emerged none other than a nattily dressed Cliff Blezinski, a sexy lady on his arm. I said hello to him, gave him a quick, unprofessional neck and shoulder rub (I get touchy after a few gins). Then I found Teti decided to call it a night. We headed outside and found a cab, and braced ourselves, and our wallets, for the ridiculous sum we would pay to get back to Hollywood. No matter where you go in LA in a cab, it always costs $80. Always.

Made this experience easy
Dramatic Roses Gate-fold Invitations I was very satisfied with the card and how easy is was to make the card my own. I even got an email to approve the changes in the way I worded the invitation Which gave me great peace of mind that my invitations would come out perfect for my special day. Thank you Magnetstreet
Romantic and Lovely Invitations
Dramatic Roses Pocket Invitations I truly love my personalized dramatic rose invitations. We ordered 1 sample first, and made a few minor changes before ordering a full package of invitations. I was able to use one of our black and white engagement photos and personalized the invitation colours to our wedding colours (i.e. multiple reds). So romantic! They brought my mother to tears. The card stock is a good thickness, with a linen texture and subtle glossiness. We ordered the pocket invitation, the RSVP card with envelopes (and faced the stamped envelopes outward in the pocket to display a personalized postage stamp we had purchased), the thick vellum band, and round seals. Shipping was timely to Toronto, Canada and the invitations arrived in a lovely box. I am happy with every aspect of the invitations.
Love it!
Rose Tradition Save the Date Magnets MagnetStreet is very well organized. I had my magnet personalized, and they made it exactly the way i described it. When i received them, the packaging was very neat. The picture and font quality was very clear. I heard about MagnetStreet from 2 friends. When i saw how beautiful their magnets were, I had to have mine made here too! You won't regret shopping here!

SPOTLIGHT: Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" Artwork x Famous Paintings
Look at what you've done, Nicki. This has gotten completely out of hand (can't lie though… we're not mad at it)! Last week Nicki Minaj revealed the cover art to her highly anticipated new single "Anaconda" dropping 7/28 and (as per usual) once the internet was graced with a beautiful, majestic thing, it took it and turned it into something else.
In this case… Nicki and her a$$ has found itself onto nearly every famous classic painting you could dream of! Continue getting your life after the jump:

From the trivial to the seismic, Boston has changed a lot during Tom Menino's 20-year watch as mayor. Scrod is no longer the staple of local restaurant menus. Department stores are no longer the main pillars of Boston's business community.
The city feels less parochial. Thanks to the Big Dig and Menino's development strategy, Boston's heart is shifting towards the waterfront. New enterprises are replacing the old. A new real estate market is opening up for hip newcomers who prefer to live and work in the city. It's a dramatic transformation, and Menino can take credit for coaxing it along, in good times and bad.

Elegant and durable solid oak toilet seat with robust soft-close chrome-effect hinges
"Wood element feels good quality but hinges flaked and broke. I don't think these things should happen with a supposed quality product...certainly not in the time period they occurred."
"Had the product for 18 months and the hinge holding the seat has broken. Not something you'd expect from a toilet seat for this price."
"The hinge snapped on this toilet seat. I'm disappointed as otherwise it's a great looking product. I've had the toilet seat for 18 months and I live alone, so it's not exactly been heavily used. I'm no expert but I reckon the hinges aren't strong enough to hold the heavy wood for that soft close mechanism. Wickes could do with putting a heavier hinge on it. Don't buy this."

(Editor's Note: Throughout the off-season, DallasCowboys.com staff writers will take a closer look at the roster, analyzing players' impact last season and how each fits into the team's 2013 plans. Today's Roster Rundown entry features safety
Name: Danny McCray
Position: Safety
Height/Weight: 6-1 / 222
Experience: 3 seasons
College: LSU
Key stat: For the first time in his career, McCray did not lead the Cowboys in special teams tackles. His 18 stops were good for second behind
Contract Status: Restricted Free Agent
How He Played In 2012: It was a long season for Danny McCray and I don't mean that in a negative way but the amount of football that he had to play not only on special teams but as a starter on defense took its toll on him. McCray to his credit never led on how banged up he became as the season wore on. He has always played with a great deal of toughness and week to week he just continued to try and do his job but he did get exposed at times when the team needed him the most. McCray has never been the quickest when it came to coverage but then he had some mental mistakes and that was really out of character for him and the coaches had to find a way to work around having him on the field. McCray had always been a solid, wrap up tackler but again, I feel like the issues that he dealt with to play each week caused him problems here because he struggled with that consistency.
Where He Fits In 2013: I am not going to say that McCray wasn't prepared for the 2012 season but going into 2013 I think he will have a better understanding of what more he will need to do to get through an
entire season if he has to step in again. Mentally he now has that experience and that will help him. I believe that the club will look to draft a safety to be paired with Sensabaugh, Church and Johnson to allow McCray to focus on what he does best and that is being a captain on the special teams. McCray is one of those core guys that every good team needs to have and that will be his best fit.
Writers' Analysis:
Nick Eatman: The perception of McCray changed a couple of times last season. After being considered mainly as a special teams player early on, his stock rose in the first few games he took over for

UPDATE 10/1/12 @ 6:15 p.m.
WAYNE COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Traffic along Route 75 in Wayne County is once again moving in both directions.
A derailed train on the Norfolk & Southern Line has been moved out of the way of traffic.
"It's just been sitting there," says William Wright who lives nearby. "I have no idea what the problem it. It's a waste of time sitting here."
That was the concern through late Monday afternoon. There were no signs warning travelers the train crossing the road was disabled.
An email sent Monday afternoon to WSAZ from Norfolk & Southern confirmed 17 of the 110 coal cars on that train had derailed. None of the coal cars lost their load, and no coal was spilled.
For people who drive along that stretch of Route 75 and are familiar with the area, the tracks are right behind Rocky Top Pizza.
The train, with some cars hauling coal, is at a standstill at Old Spring Valley Road at Route 75, in Wayne County, W.Va.
People who live nearby, say the railroad crossing has been blocked since Sunday.
"We sent a text alert to our staff and notified the bus garage" says Patsy Crisel, the Assistant Principal at Buffalo Elementary School.
"Parents should expect children to possibly get home 15 minutes, or more, later than normal if the crossing is still blocked when the bell rings, this afternoon."
As of Noon, WSAZ had not heard back from representatives at Norfolk Southern.
Bill Murray will have more details tonight on WSAZ's First at Five.
Keep clicking on WSAZ.com for the latest information.
Dispatchers say the train has been sitting on the tracks along Old Spring Valley Road since 9 a.m. Sunday.
All WSAZ.com has been told is that it probably will not be moved by Monday morning and may cause traffic problems.
School buses are being rerouted.
No word on way the train is not moving at this time.

Sometimes it's just a matter of who has the most gifted players on the field.
On Friday night, Miami Central's football team once again had the good fortune of having junior running back Dalvin Cook on its team.
Cook's three highlight-worthy touchdown runs and 123 yards on 10 carries helped the Rockets break open a close game and beat longtime rival Northwestern 34-7 in a Region 4-6A semifinal at Traz Powell Stadium.
Central (9-2) will travel to play Melbourne Palm Bay next Friday in the regional final. Central beat Palm Bay 17-7 last season in the same round at Traz Powell Stadium.
"Our young guys came to compete," Central coach Telly Lockette said. "They really grew up [Friday night], and I can't tell you how proud I am of them. Cook and [Joseph] Yearby are just special, and I feel blessed to have kids like that."
The Rockets completed a two-game season sweep of Northwestern (9-3), which returned to the playoffs a season after having a 20-year streak of qualifying for the postseason snapped.
Because of escalating tensions between the players late in the game, including a couple of unsportsmanlike penalties, Lockette chose not to have his team line up and shake hands with Northwestern, as is customary following games.
Central won its sixth consecutive game against Northwestern and eliminated the Bulls from the playoffs for the third time in the past four seasons.
"I felt both teams competed, but there was some stuff going on and some bad blood, so I just didn't want anything to escalate," Lockette said. "That's a hell of a ball club over there, but I just didn't want anything to happen."
Thanks to a solid defensive effort that held Central to minus-23 yards rushing in a scoreless first quarter, Northwestern found itself in a dogfight with Central for the second time this season.
But once again, turnovers doomed the Bulls' chances for an upset.
Da'Wan Hunte recovered a muffed punt by Northwestern's Joseph Robinson that led to Central's first score, a 28-yard field goal by Emilio Nadelman. Hunte later had an interception.
Deatrick Nichols had a fourth-quarter interception that set up Central's final touchdown after a 57-yard return to the Bulls' 20-yard line.
"This team did a great job despite it all, and we didn't quit," Northwestern coach Stephen Field said. "In the second half we had some energy, but a couple of big plays went their way and it got out of hand."
Four turnovers helped Central take a 10-point, second-quarter lead and later pull away despite Northwestern cutting the deficit to three before halftime.
Leading 10-7 in the third quarter, Cook used his speed and ability to make defenders miss to find the end zone from 30 yards away.
After Nadelman converted the second of his two field goals to give Central a 20-7 lead, Cook again scored on a 24-yard run where his speed and elusiveness proved too much for the Bulls defense.
Yearby also had a strong second half in the Central backfield, finishing with 87 yards on 17 carries and a late touchdown.
Cook also gave the Rockets a boost on special teams, blocking a long field-goal attempt early in the fourth quarter.

Thanks for all your help last night....Great Presentation!

Hi Ryan,
Thank you for welcoming me to the group. I moved to Eugene in June. Look forward to meeting you.
Yes actually! As soon as possible, I've been working some crazy hours so I can't this week either probably but I will reserve Wednesdays for the sunset hikes at the very least. Are you planning any hikes soon?
Wow Ryan that's a really good picture of you! :)
