Buenos Aires Feature
An Architecture Walking Tour of Buenos Aires
Most buildings from the colonial era and the early days of the republic have long since been built over, but San Telmo still offers glimpses of bygone Buenos Aires. Adjacent Puerto Madero is the fastest-changing part of town, home to some of Latin America's most expensive real estate and skyscrapers-to-be.
Time Travel in San Telmo
Start in Plaza Dorrego, the city's second-oldest square and the heart of San Telmo, and head north up Defensa. Late 19th-century town houses line the street—most now contain antiques shops or clothing boutiques. Detour left onto Estados Unidos to explore the Mercado de San Telmo, a produce market dating from 1897 (antiques now outnumber the apples on sale). Continue north up Defensa to Number 755, El Zanjón de los Granados, a restored 18th-century house and the tunnels under it. Turn right into Pasaje San Lorenzo, a cobbled alley. At Number 380 stands Casa Mínima, the city's thinnest building—about 8 feet wide—which once belonged to a freed slave.
Backtrack down Defensa and left onto Pasaje Giuffra, another quiet lane, then right onto Balcarce, lined with more old houses. Follow Estados Unidos east and over busy Paseo Colón. The huge neoclassical building is now the University of Buenos Aires' School of Engineering, but was the headquarters of Evita's social-aid foundation.
Watery Wonders
Cross Avenida Huergo onto Puerto Madero—Estados Unidos changes its name to Rosario Vera Peñaloza and becomes a wide boulevard with a leafy pedestrian median. Facing the end of the street is an ornate white fountain, Fuente Las Nereidas, sculpted by Argentinean Lola Mora in 1902. It was commissioned for Plaza de Mayo, but the nude nymphs were considered too scandalous to stand so close to the cathedral.
Wander north along the Costanera Sur : to your left are Puerto Madero's skyscrapers; to your right is a stretch of water separating Puerto Madero proprer from the Reserva Ecológica. (The ecological reserve's entrance is through the trees behind Fuente Las Nereidas—a detour here will add gorgeous greenery and lots of extra mileage to your walk). Be sure to try a vaciopán (steak sandwich) sold by the food carts along the Costanera.
Urban renewal
Turn left onto Martha Lynch, which curves past the Parque de las Mujeres Argentinas, a small park, and ends at one of Puerto Madero's former docks, now home to Buenos Aires' newest buildings (and newest construction sites). The original redbrick warehouses over the water now house restaurants and offices.
Just ahead is Santiago Calatrava's sculptural pedestrian bridge, Puente de la Mujer. Continue up the side of the docks along Pierina Dealessi: the compact steel-and-concrete structure at the end of Dique 4 contains the Colección Fortabat art museum, which also has a stylish café.

Anybody read any of Lee Child's books about Jack Reacher?
I'm almost done Worth Dying For.So far not a bad read but something about him just bothers me. .
Maybe the way he sticks his nose into other's business rather than the tried and true method of letting trouble find him.
I may read another one if I can find the time.

I am also a fan of Jack Reacher. I have read them all and enjoyed each of them. Never thought much about him sticking his nose into other people's business, but you are right! Enjoyable read anyway.

They've made a movie of Reacher called.....Jack Reacher and starring Tom Cruise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is worst casting than Rudi Gunn in Sahara.
Reacher is 6' 5" and 25lbs of solid muscle......Tom Cruise!!!!! HTF is he going to pull that off at 5' 5". I've seen bits and pieces of the trailer and he looks completely wrong in the part.

The tax climate of Indiana ranked 10th this year out of all 50 states, according to a new report by the Tax Foundation. The Hoosier state rose one spot to replace Texas as the 10th best climate in the 2014 State Business Tax Climate Index.
Several states have moved in the rankings since last year, with Texas dropping out of the top 10 for the first time, landing at No. 11, and Virginia and Kentucky both falling three places to No. 26 and No. 27, respectively. On the positive side, Arizona climbed five ranks to No. 22 and Kansas shot up six spots to No. 20. Several other states also saw smaller changes.
"The states that lost ground this year usually did so because they changed policy in a way that makes the tax code more complex, burdensome, or economically harmful," said Tax Foundation economist Scott Drenkard. "By contrast, the states that improved did so because they are moving closer to a tax code that collects revenue without unnecessarily distorting business decisions. Their tax codes became more neutral."
The State Business Tax Climate Index, now in its 10th edition, collects data on more than a hundred tax provisions for each state and synthesizes them into a single, easy-to-use score. The states are then compared against each other, so that each state's ranking is relative to actual policies in place in other states around the country. A state's ranking can rise or fall based not just on its own actions, but on the changes or reforms made by other states.
The top 10 states in 2014 are, in order, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nevada, Alaska, Florida, Washington, Montana, New Hampshire, Utah, and Indiana.
The 10 lowest-ranked states in 2014 are Maryland, Connecticut, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Vermont, Rhode Island, Minnesota, California, New Jersey, and New York.
"The goal of the State Business Tax Climate Index is to start a conversation with policymakers about how their states fare against the rest of the country," Drenkard said. "With this report, we're asking: 'how well is your tax code structured? Are businesses in your state spending too much time complying with onerous tax provisions? Are you double taxing things you shouldn't?'"

Employment laws and regulations must be followed. Funding sources must be reported to.
- contract and agreement drafting, review, and negotiation
- drafting and revising nonprofit employment policies or procedures and personnel or human resources (H.R.) matters
- applications for tax-exempt status with the Internal Revenue Service (I.R.S.) under 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4) and other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
- drafting, amendments, and interpretation of articles of incorporation, bylaws and other documents governing nonprofits
- membership issues

Even after losing his challenge for the Monmouth County Surrogate's office to incumbent, Middletown resident and former Mayor , maintains that he raised awareness concerning a public office about which most voters know little.
Peters, however, had said that she spoke to more than 50 groups in the past year in an effort to better educate people on the function of her office and how to make the best use of it, by offering help on how to better understand getting your estate in order. It's an initiative in which she takes particular pride.
Steinhorn, all through the campaign, denounced the effectiveness of Peters' communication and accountability techniques, methods that Peters and others saw as her strengths.
"I'm a hands-on person," Peters said in her candidate profile interview. "I pride myself in making a point to fully understand each job within the office and how all do and can better interface with one another for the most comprehensive approach to the work. It's really a fascinating and rewarding job — and more so when approaching it in that hands-on manner and really getting involved in every aspect."
Steinhorn disagreed and felt he had enlightened people about the job of a surrogate merely by running for the spot.
"I feel I did a public service by running," said Steinhorn, of Rumson, who has run three times without success for that town's governing body. "I'm very happy with what I did."
With 457 of 458 voting districts representing 99 percent of the electorate, Peters won 62,108 votes, or about 60 percent of the total, compared to Steinhorn's 40,894 amounting to about 40 percent according to the totals released by the Monmouth County Election Board.
Blaming his loss largely for low voter turnout and insufficient news coverage of his opinions, Steinhorn asserted that had more voters shown up at the polls, the results might have been different.
"The low turnout was bad for the Democrats," said Steinhorn who chairs the Rumson Democratic organization. "The people most affected by current policies didn't turn out."
"Today was a voter failure, not a politician failure," he added.
Should he run for office again, Steinhorn says he will start his own newspaper to spread his message. By operating his own publication, Steinhorn believes he and like-minded candidates will be able to write and speak their minds freely in op-ed pieces.
"I would put out my own newspaper and not count on the local press, so everyone would get to see our candidates' stands and not the filtration process," he said.
Peters, who has a communications background, has said that she feels people, in general, and candidates need to understand the difference between an opinion piece and a news story, so as not to confuse fact with opinion and finger-pointing.
She said she feels she has been effective in funneling unbiased information about her office and its function and plans to keep moving in that vein.

sent a strong contingent up to the New York State Track and Field Championships held this past weekend in Syracuse.
First up on Friday was thrower Brittany Sepe who placed 8th in Shot Put with a toss of 36' 2.75". A few hours later Diamond Jackson stepped into the Discus circle and put together a solid series of throws that had her in 4th place going into her final throw. Jackson broke her own school record with a throw of 119' 8" to pass the competition and earn the State Champion title.
First up for Sachem East on Saturday was Rachel Paul competing in the 1500 Meter Run. Rain and wet track conditions didn't prevent Paul from winning the Large School championship with a time of 4:28.29, just over a second short of her own school record. With the win, the senior adds her first State Champion title to her resume.
The last event for Sachem East was the 4 by 800 Relay. In an intensely competitive race, Laurie Semetsis, Rachel Paul, Nicole Silvestre, and Mel Notarstefano managed a 7th place finish in 9:18.89, less than a second from making the podium. All told, East tallied three top 10 finishes and two State titles.

Centos 5.1 Live CD
The makers of the free enterprise Linux, Centos, have released version 5.1, the latest version of their distribution on a Live CD.
This is the first release to use the Fedora project's Live CD tools. The two projects have closer ties than a single toolkit: Centos is created from GPL-licensed source code by Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL); the Fedora community project is sponsored by Red Hat as a test bed for new developments in RHEL.
Thanks to the new production application, the image of the Centos 5.1 Live CD can now be booted from a USB stick. The software collection is from Centos 5.1 and thus matches that of RHEL 5.1.
As the Live CD also has a wide-ranging collection of LVM and raid tools, as well as Qtparted and Samba 3.0.25b, the Centos project says that it is perfect as a rescue CD. The ISO image is available for downloading from the Centos mirror servers.

Utilities across the country are experimenting with various new ways to communicate with customers—from Twitter feeds to text alerts. But few utilities have figured out how to integrate new media...
Stakeholder Collaboration
Consensus building is an imperative and educational art form.
to integrate these programs into a comprehensive statewide system.
Lessons Learned
The valuation of solar DE on the APS system, ComEd's pioneering AMI deployment, and the statewide smart-grid strategy for Maryland are three examples that reveal how stakeholder processes are evolving, and reinforce how they increasingly are being used to help utilities cope with the megatrends driving the industry, such as intelligent infrastructure, customer engagement, and solutions to the capacity-carbon conflict.
No other industry is as deeply embedded in society as is the electricity industry, or has so many diverse stakeholders who desire inclusion in the decision-making process. The megatrends driving the industry forward all have one thing in common: the rapidly growing interdependencies among suppliers, customers, regulators, vendors and advocates. Processes that facilitate more effective stakeholder collaboration are imperative.

Transparency in public information is an important principle for the proper functioning of government at all levels. Vigilance is key in ensuring that public records and meetings remain open and accessible to citizens of our communities.
To that end, Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller and the Hoosier State Press Association are teaming up for a statewide springtime training crusade to increase both awareness and compliance of public access laws.
The program is designed to help Indiana's multitude of public officials better understand and uphold transparency laws so that Hoosiers can have a more open and honest government. To make it easy on busy public officials, the program is being taken on the road to various parts of the state. Any public official who wants to attend — and we hope there are many who do — won't have to go far to find one.
For public officials in Terre Haute, Vigo County and throughout west-central Indiana, this special Public Access Seminar will be conducted from 10 a.m. to noon, Wednesday, June 1, in the Hulman Memorial Student Union, Dede III, on the campus of Indiana State University.
As a co-sponsor of the event, the Tribune-Star is in charge of arrangements, and we're grateful to ISU for their willingness to provide a great space in the Dede conference center for this important seminar.
In addition to Terre Haute, seminars are being conducted in South Bend, Merrillville, Madison, Fort Wayne, West Lafayette and Evansville. The first in the series was this week at the Indiana Government Center in Indianapolis. That session drew 323 attendees.
Of special note for attorneys, the free seminar counts as two hours of continuing legal education. But it is also open to the public.
A panel of experts will offer practical tips officials can use to ensure compliance with laws and avoid non-compliance. Recent legislative changes in access laws and their impact on local officials will also be explained.
The Terre Haute panel will consist of Andrew Kossack, Indiana public access counselor; Anne Mullin O'Connor, deputy attorney general; and Steve Key, executive director and general counsel of the Hoosier State Press Association.
The Tribune-Star has mailed out notices and invitations to area public officials, but you don't have to have an invitation to attend. All are welcome. We have not mailed out invitations to attorneys, so we hope those now aware of the seminar will help spread the word.
Public officials, attorneys and citizens who want to attend are asked to register for the event online at www.in.gov/attorneygeneral/2471.htm.
"For government to work effectively it has to work transparently; and so we encourage anyone with an interest in effective, open government to attend the Public Access Seminar," Zoeller said.
We applaud the attorney general, public access counselor and HSPA for partnering to conduct this event, and the Tribune-Star is proud to be part of it. We join Zoeller in urging public officials and interested attorneys and citizens to attend.

MAX JONES: Local seminar to shed light on access
Public officials, attorneys invited to attend June 1
Transparency in public information is an important principle for the proper functioning of government at all levels. Vigilance is key in ensuring that public records and meetings remain open and accessible to citizens of our communities.

MAX JONES: Fathers, sons and the tides of war
The wonderful and poignant stories and tributes the past week about D-Day have been both heartbreaking and uplifting.
Max Jones: Marching in place: As political world swings and cycles, Hoosiers remain wary of latest trends
A casual glimpse of recent developments in Indiana politics might suggest Hoosiers are in the throes of an identity crisis.
MAX JONES: Newspapers can be fun, too; check out Readers' Choice
Smart and savvy newspaper readers (that's all of you, of course) know full well that their daily consumption of news and information isn't an exclusively high-brow pursuit.
MAX JONES: Dawn of new day in local elections
After a year off from the electoral process, counties across Indiana are gearing up for their next exercise in democratic politics, the 2014 primary election.
MAX JONES: Readers and writers — we've got lots of them
When people grab their daily newspaper, you can pretty much predict the reading path most will take. Readers have habits, as academic and professional surveys have shown.
MAX JONES: Digging for wisdom in Larrison's lament
Ferocious winter storms have been a rarity in west-central Indiana in recent decades, even though heavy snow or sub-zero stretches of days drop in occasionally to remind us how miserable they can make us.
MAX JONES: Picture story captures Bill Wolfe's adventure
It was about one year ago when Tribune-Star chief photographer Joe Garza decided to stop by Bill Wolfe's downtown studio to see what new projects were being born. On the day of Joe's impromptu visit, Bill was busy planning the very early stages of a project that would dominate coming months — the creation of the Larry Bird statue.
MAX JONES: Fight for public access among Dave Cox's legacies
A group of Indiana newspaper editors who advise the Hoosier State Press Association on issues related to access to public records and meetings had the opportunity to meet new Public Access Counselor Luke Britt last week.
MAX JONES: Ernie Pyle's IU legacy should be preserved
As an alum of Indiana University-Bloomington, where I received a bachelor's degree in journalism many moons ago, I've been watching with keen interest the ongoing discussion about merging the School of Journalism with other areas of communications, such as PR and filmmaking, inside the College of Arts & Sciences.
MAX JONES: 2013 'progress edition' will be unveiled Saturday
Late summer is one of the busiest times of year in our always-busy newsroom.
MAX JONES: Telling a river's story, in words and pictures
Among a newspaper's most valuable assets are its storytellers, the men and women who employ their journalistic skills and talents to report, write and capture pictures of topics relevant to readers.
MAX JONES: For loyal readers, a bit of news from the T-S newsroom
As journalists toiling to create a content-rich, relevant and compelling community newspaper each day, we feel a special bond with our legions of readers across the Wabash Valley and beyond.
MAX JONES: The American Newspaper: Changing? Yes. Dying? No way!
It happened again this past January when all those "looking at the year ahead" stories started popping up on Internet "news" websites and broadcast "news" programs. Under a provocative headline reading something like "Five industries/businesses doomed to tank in the coming year," there it was, a prediction based on an unsubstantiated "expert" analysis that the newspaper industry will continue in 2013 to suffer its slide into oblivion.
MAX JONES: Call it religion if you want, it's still bigotry
The tiny grocery store my grandfather operated in the 1950s and '60s was often a gathering spot for the colorful cast of neighborhood characters that populated my hometown. I liked hanging out there with my brothers or cousins because it was good entertainment and we all enjoyed the way our granddad interacted with the locals.
MAX JONES: Social media can actually serve a useful purpose
If you've spent any time at all on Facebook and Twitter, you know that so much of what we now call social media is mindless banter. Not that this is a bad thing.
MAX JONES: There are simple ways to get your letter published
As an old year turns into a new year, I am inclined to look back and assess the newspaper's performance on behalf of readers the past 12 months. When I do, the volume and quality of reader letters we publish always amazes me.
MAX JONES: Newspapers have story to tell about bright future
Rarely does a week go by when someone doesn't call, write or stop me on the street to express how much they value their local newspaper and appreciate what it means to the community. Usually they like to tell me that it's the print edition they find most satisfying, but many acknowledge they also use the online edition to keep an eye on things as well.
Max Jones: Dances for CHANCES — great fun for worthy cause
Many years ago — too many to ponder at the moment — I joined a community theater troupe in Sullivan and had the opportunity to perform in several Broadway musicals. In one instance, I was fortunate to have the lead role portraying George M. Cohan in the musical "George M!"
MAX JONES: News dynamics sometimes test an editor's principles
It has been a long-standing policy at the Tribune-Star not to publish the names of crime victims
MAX JONES: Got a question for Lugar-Mourdock debate? Submit it
Hoosier voters, especially those who choose a Republican ballot for the May 8 primary election, face a difficult decision this spring. Longtime U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar faces a spirited re-election challenge from state Treasurer Richard Mourdock for the GOP Senate nomination. The winner advances to a general election showdown in the fall with the presumed Democrat nominee, Rep. Joe Donnelly, and any third-party or independent candidates who qualify to run.
MAX JONES: The sun never sets on Indiana's time-zone debate
When Mitch Daniels aggressively pushed for Indiana to adopt daylight-saving time in his first term as governor, I admit I was not enthusiastic. The state, I figured, had found a way to handle its awkward time-zone geography by merely maintaining the time status quo while states around it changed their clocks twice a year. We peacefully coexisted with that strategy for a couple of decades.
MAX JONES: It is amazing what an energized downtown can do
For those of us who've watched the inspired growth and development of downtown Indianapolis through the years, it's hard to understand sometimes the amazement some express at what's been created.
MAX JONES: More changes and challenges, but we're getting there
As a newspaper lands on your porch each day, or you grab it from a local vendor, the complex manufacturing process that goes into producing it is probably the furthest thing from your mind.
MAX JONES: Arranging the pieces so it all makes sense
Putting together a newspaper, with its diverse mix of content, is sort of like assembling a jigsaw puzzle. You just have to keep mixing, matching and playing with the pieces until things begin to look right.
MAX JONES: Community newspapers too valuable to go away
These days, rarely a week goes by without someone — a co-worker, a friend, a professional associate, an acquaintance, etc. — asking for my thoughts about the future of the newspaper industry.
MAX JONES: Angry emotion yet to rear its head in mayoral race
October has arrived. Five weeks remain before Election Day, and a staple ingredient seems to be missing from Terre Haute's mayoral campaign season.
MAX JONES: Join us as we walk in the shadows of 9/11
The 10th anniversary of 9/11 has sparked renewed interest toward a haunting time in modern history. With all that's happened the past 10 years related to the terrorist attacks of 2001, it still seems like only yesterday that we all were watching those terrible images of commercial airliners flying into buildings, towers collapsing and grief-stricken people all across America — and the world — mourning the victims.
MAX JONES: 9/11 'moments' still vivid 10 years later
With the 10th anniversary of 9/11 approaching, Americans are recalling in vivid detail where they were when they first learned of the terrorist attacks.
MAX JONES: Something special — courtesy of your newspaper
Publishing a daily newspaper is our bread and butter here at the Tribune-Star.
MAX JONES: Ernie Pyle never ceases bringing pride to Indiana
Once again, Ernie Pyle has made me proud to be a journalist.

The District 308 Board of Education recently approved 23 members to the newly-created Teaching and Learning Advisory Committee, the second of four proposed committees.
Earlier this year the Board approved the Finance Advisory Committee.
Superintendent Matthew Wendt said the Board of Education reviewed over 90 applicants for the teaching and learning advisory committee.
Board member and co-chair of the committee Alison Swanson said when choosing members for the committee they "tried to get people from every type of area." Examples she used included parents of special education, gifted and regular students, residents with backgrounds in higher education and those without, those that have taken online classes and those with dual-language experience.
"I am so pleased to have the Teaching and Learning Advisory Committee now in place as we reform and improve the school district's academic achievement and educational opportunities for all students," said Wendt.
Oswego 308 residents named to the committee include: Carol Cronin, Stephanie DeCicco, Jane Edrosa, Garth Ingram, Jill Ko, Kerry Merrill, Luis Perez, Sara Poniatowski, Kathleen Ramsey, Jim Richter, Roger Sanders, Josh Stumpenhorst and Keith Wheeler.
School officials include: Karla Hoinkes (counselor), Jill Beane (teacher), Greg Pelzer (teacher), Kerri Soumar (teacher), David Brusak (principal), Pam Jensen (principal), Dr. Paul O'Malley (assistant superintendent), and Matthew Wendt (superintendent).
Board members include: Alison Swanson and Laurie Pasteris, who will serve as co-chairs.
At a later date, the new Assistant Superintendent for Teaching and Learning, and any department designee requested by the new Assistant Superintendent, will be recommended to the Board of Education for approval to this committee
Meetings will be held monthly and will be open to the public.

With the tension building and the hockey season perhaps in the balance, the NHL and NHL Players Association met Thursday for a third straight day in New York.
The details of the collective bargaining negotiations again were kept private. But the CBA talks were believed to have centered on proposals made by the NHLPA on the division of hockey-related revenue and the honoring of existing contracts, and league-wide revenue-sharing.
Media reports out of New York said the union on Wednesday proposed reaching a 50-50 split in hockey-related revenue (HRR) in the third year of a new CBA. The reports said the NHLPA also proposed $260 million a year in revenue-sharing to help financially stressed franchises.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr both briefly addressed the media after the five-hour Thursday meeting in Midtown Manhattan. Neither offered specifics about the talks but said the two sides would meet again Friday.
"We still have work to do," Bettman told reporters. "My hope is we can achieve the goal of getting a long-term and fair agreement in place as quickly as possible."
Many believe the meetings this week – the first formal CBA sessions since Oct. 18 – are critical in determining whether a hockey season will be played. The 2004-2005 season was canceled because of haggling over a CBA, and this year's confrontation has been a duel of skilled negotiators – Bettman and Fehr, the former head of the Major League Baseball Players Association.
The players have been locked out by the league since Sept. 15, when the previous CBA expired. Thursday marked the 54th day of the lockout.
"Every day that passes is critical for the game and for our fans," Bettman said.
Under the old CBA, the players received 57 percent of HRR last season, or $1.88 billion. The league's most recent proposal, made last month, was for an immediate 50-50 split of revenue with a "make whole" provision in which existing player contracts would be honored by deferred compensation.
The league also has offered to increase revenue-sharing to roughly $200 million each year.
Thursday's meeting was held at the Proskauer Rose law offices. The NHLPA said seven players attended the meeting, including Los Angles Kings forward Kevin Westgarth, a member of the players' negotiating committee who lives in Raleigh in the offseason.
The two sides met for almost 13 hours on Tuesday and Wednesday. Neither Bettman nor Fehr addressed the media after those meetings, an apparent attempt to tone down the rhetoric and reduce the rancor present at some of the previous meetings.
On Oct. 18, the union made three CBA proposals, including one that had the players' revenue share reduced 50-50 percent in the third year. All three were rejected by the league in a matter of minutes.
The league has since canceled all regular-season games through the end of November and the 2013 Winter Classic in Ann Arbor, Mich. It's believed if a CBA could be struck in the next week or so, the regular season might be able to start Dec. 1 and a 65- or 70-game season could be played.

July 30, 2014
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - The state wildlife commissioner is defending a 30 percent hike in the cost of hunting and fishing licenses. He says it's still cheaper to participate in outdoor sports than go to the movies.
The price of hunting and fishing licenses will increase from 15 dollars to 20 dollars beginning March 1. A combination hunting-fishing license goes up from 22-50 to 30 dollars.
Kentucky Fish and Wildlife spokesman Mark Marraccini says license and permit sales generated more than 22 (M) million dollars in 2006-2007. He says the price increases will generate an additional two-point-eight (M) million.
Franklin County hunter Michael Taylor says the cost of the licenses and permits can become burdensome for families when spouses and teenage children also hunt and fish.

Hubbard Glacier, which is found in Disenchantment Bay at the end of Yakutat Bay, is one of the over 110,000 glaciers in Alaska and North America's largest tidewater glacier. Hubbard Glacier was named in 1890 for Gardiner G. Hubbard, the founder of the National Geographic Society.
As a ship enters Yakutat Bay, Hubbard Glacier can be seen from over 30 miles away. This massive Alaska glacier is a staggering 76 miles long, 6.5 miles wide, and 1200 feet deep. Its face is over 400 feet high, which is as high as a 30-40 story building.
The Malaspina Glacier is also found in Yakutat Bay. Malaspina is a piedmont glacier, does not reach into the bay, and is difficult to see from a ship, even though it is about the size of Switzerland!!
All Alaska cruise itineraries include at least one glacier. Alaska is home to over 50 percent of the world's glaciers, ranging in size from a few feet to many miles in area.

When his five-year-old neighbor goes missing, Jack can't help feeling responsible. He should have taken Cody home when he found him riding his bicycle near the Pine Barrens. And then a lost man wanders out of the woods after being chased all night by...something. Jack knows, better than anyone, that the Barrens are dangerous—a true wilderness filled with people, creatures, and objects lost from sight and memory. Like the ancient, fifteen-foot-tall stone pyramid he, Weezy, and Eddie discover. Jack thinks it might have been a cage of some sort, but for what kind of animal, he can't say. Eddie jokes that it could have been used for the Jersey Devil. Jack doesn't believe in that old folk tale, but something is roaming the Pines. Could it have Cody? And what about the strange circus that set up outside town? Could they be involved? So many possibilities, so little time...

Little Cody Bockman disappeared on a rainy morning.
Jack dodged puddles as he pedaled his BMX along Adams Street to the Connell house. Even though the sky was overcast now, the air felt dry. He hoped it would last. He was sick to death of rain. People were saying this could turn out to be the rainiest September on record and—
"Hey!" he shouted as he almost collided with a little kid scooting by on a red bike. "Cody!"
The kid braked and almost fell off his bike.
"Jack! Jack! I can do it!"
"Look! No training wheels!"

My photographer, food stylist and I have been working hard over this long weekend shooting joyous recipes for my book! So today when I was feeling peckish for a salty snack I made the popcorn pictured above, old school style my friends.
Why old school you might ask? Well, microwave popcorn is best avoided. In fact, I wouldn't touch it with a ten ft. pole. I have many reasons for this aside from the fact that I use my microwave as storage and I haven't zapped anything in at least 10 years. But I LOOOOOOVE popcorn so very much. So I make it the old school way which I'm going to share with you in this recipe.
It is very important to make sure you buy Certified Organic popcorn kernels for the health of your body and the environment. When I used to eat non-organic genetically modified popcorn it would do nasty things to my insides. Interestingly, I thought corn was the problem, but then I switched to certified organic non-GMO corn and guess what? My issues that I suspected were related, disappeared. Just pay attention to how you feel the next time you eat movie theatre popcorn or microwave please.
According to Care2, microwave popcorn has two problems:
A report from the FDA indicates that a chemical coating used in microwave popcorn bags breaks down when heated into a substance called perfluorooctanoic (PFOA). The Environmental Protection Agency has identified PFOA as a "likely carcinogen." Another study has found an acid that can be extracted from the chemical causes cancer in animals and is "likely to cause cancer in humans."
A second potential danger in microwave popcorn is diacetyl, an FDA-approved chemical found in the fake butter flavoring. There's even a debilitating respiratory disease called "popcorn workers lung," (the medical name of the condition is bronchiolitis obliterans) suffered by microwave popcorn factory workers caused by extended inhalation of the chemical's fumes.
In response to the concerns regarding the risks of diacetyl exposure, a number of microwave popcorn manufacturers have discontinued using it in their products.
Popcorn is one of my favourite treats. The combo of salty and crunchy makes it an ideal movie or mid-aft snack.
So let's get right to the recipe ingredients:
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 cup organic corn kernels
- Sea salt, turmeric and black pepper to taste
- Optional: Sprinkle with some nutritional yeast for a faux-parmesan taste
Method: In a medium size pot on the stove melt the coconut oil on medium high (NOT maximum — this is an important step to making perfectly popped kernels). Once melted, add the kernels and cover the pot with a lid. Give the pot a shake every so often until you hear it begin to pop. Don't let the pot sit on the hot element for more then 5-10 seconds at a time once the kernels begin popping. Remove from heat when you hear no more pops!
Put into a large bowl and sprinkle your sea salt, turmeric and black pepper to taste.
Little tip to make the ingredients stick: Mist the popcorn lightly with a little purified water before adding dry flavorings to help them stick.
In my joyoushealth book coming out early 2014 I will have another popcorn recipe!!
Be joyous,
UPCOMING COURSE – Early bird discount is ending soon!!

Lunch at the Soul Food Project
Last modified on 2013-10-08 07:55:53 GMT. 0 comments. Top.
A 2008 grant from the Rex Foundation helped San Francisco"s Nextcourse establish the Soul Food Project, a collaborative effort to give women leaving the county jail system practical resources for healthy lifestyles and good nutrition. Last week Rex executive director Sandy Sohcot had the opportunity to participate in a session–and enjoy the results. She reports:
On Thursday, March 18, I had the pleasure of being part of the lunch session of Soul Food, a project of Nextcourse that meets each Thursday at the Women's Reentry Center of the San Francisco Sheriff's Department.
On this day, a guest chef from the San Francisco Zen Center provided the meal recipes and guided the food preparation and cooking. Niyati Desai, the Soul Food Project Coordinator, began the session with all of us declaring our favorite vegetables, then followed with a review of cabbage and ginger, two of the main ingredients of the meal we were about to prepare, and how these ingredients provided nutrients and health. There were some excellent questions about good calories and bad calories, good carbohydrates and bad carbohydrates, and why it was good to try tofu.
For the two hours, we were all a team, collaborating to prepare and cook the food, and then sit together to enjoy the delicious results. Over lunch, one of the women who regularly attends the project classes told me about how she has completely changed what she buys and cooks for her family meals and knows this has made a big difference. She said she is still dealing with resisting tempting snacks and desserts, and we commiserated about this ongoing, universal challenge.

The Rex Foundation produced our first Make Believe Ball February 18, 2010 at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. The Make Believe Ball spawned from an idea by board member Tim Duncan who collaborated with board member Dawn Holliday to arrange for the replay of the infamous 1975 Grateful Dead Blues for Allah record release party later released as One From The Vault. The term Make Believe Ball is attributed to the taper who named his audience tapes of that evening "The Make Believe Ball".

Innocence Project Exonerates 250th Prisoner
Last modified on 2010-05-12 21:18:42 GMT. 0 comments. Top.
Rex grantee The Innocence Project has been working since 1989 to help the wrongfully convicted gain exoneration and justice. With the exoneration this week of Freddie Peacock of Rochester, New York, the organization marked its 250th success.
Peacock's case was especially egregious because it involved a false confession from a mentally ill man. Says IP co-director Peter Neufeld, with Peacock's exoneration, "New York becomes the nation's capital of false confessions." Since 2002, 10 people in New York have been exonerated through DNA testing after false confessions or admissions led to wrongful convictions–a third of all all DNA exonerations in that period.

The Bread Project in the San Francisco Bay Area is a Rex grantee working to provide job skills in the culinary field to adults who have trouble finding work–and along the way, life skills to help them achieve the goals they once thought impossible. The program's been so successful that the Project has been forced to turn many eligible students away, but an upcoming expansion to larger headquarters will allow it to train even more.
Recently we heard from Bread Project Executive Director Dagmar Schroeder-Huse, who shared a few of the program's success stories. We were delighted to read them–and happy to share this example of the good work the Rex community makes possible.

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals graciously supported the Rex Foundation by joining the Music Caravan with a show at The Fillmore in San Francisco. They also attended the Rex pre-concert reception greeting fans and enthralling board members with their open minds and kindness.
Grace Potter is one of the sweetest musicians we have met in years. Rex board members thanked Grace for her participation, but it was the Rex Foundation who Grace thanked for allowing her and the Nocturnals to be involved.
As a young band on the road establishing their audience, Grace Potter and The Nocturnals appreciated the opportunity to associate with a well established organization like the Rex Foundation. They realize and acknowledge the valuable support Rex Foundation provides to grassroots efforts that have continued making a difference in the world. It was wonderful to meet these talented musicians and even more fun to discover and experience their music live!
Thank you Grace Potter and The Nocturnals for stepping on board the Rex Music Caravan. We appreciate being associated with you.

Now on the Rex Web site is a great article from Indian Country Today about Dune Lankard, the founder of Rex grantee Eyak Preservation Council (EPC).
This photograph of me with Dune Lankard and Carol Hoover, EPC Executive Director, was taken on August 10, 2009 at the 5-Mile House in Cordova, AK, home base of EPC. I had been visiting for four days, experiencing firsthand the positive force of Dune's thinking and energy, as well as the vast and deep beauty that motivates his actions.
Reading the article inspired me to write more about my reflections on how Dune and the work of EPC connect with all of us seeking to do our part as members of the global community.
Let us know what you think about these reflections: Post your comments here or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks!

We recently heard from Philippe Vezina of Rhode Island, who suffered the loss of his friend Mark Calo earlier this year and is putting on a fundraising concert this weekend to pay tribute. Philippe, who is sure that Mark would approve, will be donating the proceeds of the event to the Rex Foundation.
Philippe writes: "I have been a supporter of the Rex Foundation since the late 1980s as a result of my Grateful Dead connections. I feel it is an excellent charity that year after year makes a difference in the challenging world that we live in today.â€
Our deepest condolences to Philippe and all Mark's friends, and our heartfelt thanks to them for deciding to honor Mark by furthering Rex's work.

The award-winning puppetry theatre, Marionettentheater Schloss Schonbrunn (Austria), will visit Hong Kong in December with a gala of music, dance, fast-moving action and colourful sets and costumes.
With the music of Mozart and Johann Strauss Jr., the theatre will showcase "A Little Night Music" (Eine kleine Nachtmusik) and "Johann Strauss and the Danube Maid" in their performance.
"A Little Night Music" is one of the most popular classical works by Mozart. It is exquisite, captivating and distinctive. The work itself did not appear in print until 36 years after Mozart's death, and the composer's original manuscript only came to light during the Second World War. In this marionette play, a beautiful lady merrily dances in the woods to the light but masterful music of Mozart.
Inspired by the Danube where Strauss's father grew up, Johann Strauss Jr. wrote his best-known work "The Blue Danube" in 1867. "Johann Strauss and the Danube Maid" portrays the life of Johann Strauss Jr. Embellished by exquisitely made marionettes, fabulous set and costumes, rich and splendid scenes - dancing violins, a romantic forest, gorgeous snow ... and the beautiful scores of Mozart and Strauss, the puppetry theatre offers a delightful experience in the fantasy world of marionettes.
Marionettentheater Schloss Schonbrunn is the champion of the 32nd International Festivals of Puppet (1999, Zagreb), World Festival of Puppet Art (2000, Prague) and the 9th International Puppet Festival (2002, Teheran). It has performed in many cities and won critical acclaim.
The performance will be at 8pm on Friday (December 15) at the Auditorium, Yuen Long Theatre; 8pm on Saturday (December 16) and 3pm on Sunday (December 17) at the Theatre, Hong Kong City Hall.
Tickets priced from $90 to $170 are now available at URBTIX outlets, while senior citizens, people with disabilities, full-time students and Comprehensive Social Security Assistance recipients may have 50% off (limited quotas for CSSA recipients on a first-come, first-served basis).

Some Lovely Things To Sell
And so I set out to contrive some lovely things to sell. If you care for the words, peruse their associated merchandise!
DO YOU SUFFER from an embarrassing abundance of music ironically juxtaposed against a stinging paucity of rhyming verbiage?
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE TEXT. So why not a graphic novel?
(Please note that downloads of The Bootstrap Gospel album - see my Bandcamp page link below - includes a download of the Graphic Novel as a bonus).
Nobody EVER buys the Bootstrap Gospel Digital Graphic Novel, which is CRAZY. Crazy and wrong. The final chapter's segment, "A Poem In Ten Deaths," with its scathing deconstruction of Schrödinger's famous thought experiment, is easily worth its wholly nominal cost alone! A demented visual tour through the state of my mind circa 2006.
SONG LYRICS set to music and preserved as digital audio recordings. A perfect distraction to drown out the noise of confounding existence
You can purchase most of such recordings as exist. Preview anything for free. I've got certain unreasonable hangups over the convention of the "Donations" button, but in the event that there is a Mysterious Benefactor shadowing me out there, pining only for some venue to shower me with gifts, well I've set the Greatest Hits and the altogether more challenging Transition Protocol to allow "pay what you want" pricing. So you can go hog wild. Or also just give me a dollar. Well I don't get the whole dollar frankly, but you know what I mean. Hosting and commerce courtesy of Bandcamp, who are dope, as well as fly.
THE SPIRIT is willing, but the flesh needs a Tee Shirt
Ready to purchase? Spreadshirt Store Link
Does what it says on the tee shirt. The once and future emblem of the True Fan
What did you have in mind?
Didn't there used to be some kind of crazy home-rolled crowdfunding campaign here? Yes you're very smart. Shut up.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Hamas rocket squads aimed at Jerusalem for the first time Friday, along with commercial hub Tel Aviv, showing off their expanded reach with what they said were Gaza-made projectiles that have never been fired before. Israel called up 16,000 reservists, moving a step closer to a possible ground offensive in the Palestinian territory.
Air raid sirens sounded in the two cities which — unlike population centers in Israel's south — had not been exposed to rocket fire from Hamas-ruled Gaza before the current round of cross-border fighting. No injuries were reported, but Hamas' latest attempts to hit Israel's heartland could push Israel closer to sending ground troops into Gaza.
Over the past three days, Israel has relentlessly pounded suspected rocket launching sites and other Hamas targets in Gaza with scores of airstrikes, while Hamas has fired more than 450 rockets toward Israel.
Hamas was badly bruised during its last full-fledged confrontation with Israel four years ago, but appeared better prepared this time with a more powerful arsenal.
Just a few years ago, Palestinian rockets were limited to crude, homemade devices manufactured in Gaza. But in recent years, Hamas and other armed groups have smuggled in sophisticated, longer-range rockets from Iran and Libya, which has been flush with weapons since Moammar Gadhafi was ousted last year.
Most of the rockets do not have guided systems, limiting their accuracy, though Israeli officials believe the militants may have a small number of guided missiles that have not yet been deployed.
Hamas said the two rockets aimed at the two Israeli cities Friday were made in Gaza, a prototype the militants call M-75, and have a range of about 50 miles.
The air raid sirens sounded in Jerusalem after the start of the Jewish Sabbath in the holy city, claimed by both Israel and the Palestinians as a capital and located about 47 miles from Gaza. Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the rocket landed in an open area southeast of the city.
Earlier Friday, Gaza militants fired toward Tel Aviv and an explosion was heard in the city, but no injuries were reported. Hamas had first targeted Tel Aviv on Thursday, an unprecedented achievement for the group.
"We are sending a short and simple message: There is no security for any Zionist on any single inch of Palestine and we plan more surprises," Abu Obeida, spokesman for the Hamas militant wing, said of the rockets aimed at Israel's two main cities.
Lt. Col. Avital Leibovich, an Israeli military spokeswoman, said no decision has been made yet on a ground offensive but all options are on the table. Dozens of armored vehicles have been moved to Israel's border with Gaza since fighting intensified Wednesday, following Israel's assassination of the Hamas military chief.
She said 16,000 reserve soldiers were called up Friday, and the army could draft an additional 14,000 soldiers. She did not say where the reservists were being deployed.
The violence has widened the instability gripping the region, straining already frayed Israel-Egypt relations. The Islamist government in Cairo, like Hamas linked to the region-wide Muslim Brotherhood, recalled its ambassador in protest and dispatched Prime Minister Hesham Kandil to show solidarity with Gaza.
Kandil called for an end to the offensive while touring Gaza City's Shifa Hospital with the territory's prime minister, Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas, who was making his first public appearance since the fighting began.
In one chaotic moment, a man rushed toward the two leaders, shouting as he held up the body of a 4-year-old boy. The two prime ministers cradled the lifeless boy who Hamas said was killed in an Israeli airstrike — a claim Israel denied.
Fighting to hold back tears, Kandil told reporters that the Israeli operation must end.
"What I saw today in the hospital, the wounded and the martyrs, the boy ... whose blood is still on my hands and clothes, is something that we cannot keep silent about," he said.
Israel said it halted its incessant air attacks on militant targets in Gaza during Kandil's visit, though Hamas security claimed three airstrikes hit the territory during that period.
Militants, meanwhile, fired off more than 60 rockets after Kandil arrived in Gaza. The pace of cross-border fighting quickly resumed after the Egyptian leader's departure.
In Egypt's two largest cities, Cairo and Alexandria, thousands protested the Israeli offensive Friday in marches organized by Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood. Protesters waved Palestinian flags and chanted slogans against Israel. In Cairo's Tahrir Square, a few hundred protesters burned an Israeli flag.
Prominent Brotherhood figures took part, many brandishing the checkered Palestinian scarf, or keffiyeh, during the marches.
Small anti-Israeli demonstrations occurred in east Jerusalem and the West Bank. Police dispersed the crowds with tear gas and stun grenades. And in Iran, a close Hamas ally, thousands of people took to the streets in the capital Tehran. The demonstrators carried banners denouncing Israel. They chanted "Death to the U.S." and "Death to Israel."

Chevy Impala "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" message
jsmitty762 Posts: 1I am a canine officer and was issued a new 2009 Chevy Impala to replace a Ford Crown Vic canine vehicle.
This HUGE MISTAKE was made in the name of saving fuel. Turns out the 3.9 L engine is so underpowered when you add the extra weight of the kennel insert, dog, and gear, it actually gets worse fuel mileage than the Vic did with a V8 but I could go one for days about how the Vic is a better police vehicle than the Impala.
The real issue is a reoccurring problem that started at about 9000 miles. The service engine light comes on shortly followed by a message that says REDUCED ENGINE POWER. When this happens the vehicle will barely drag itself back to the Chevy garage.
Each time the Mechanics say the code shows a rich fuel mixture which is easily reset. Resetting the code temporarily hides the symptoms of a problem that is still unknown three years and 90,000 miles later.
The mechanics have done all they can including emailing engineers at GM for suggestions. The Engineers told them the problem is believed to be a "rare" software issue in the cars computer. I have been told that not even changing the computer would fix the problem because the same software would have to be uploaded in the new computer.
I would estimate that over the past three years I have had the vehicle in the shop approximately 50 times to have the code reset.
As I write this post the vehicle is currently in the shop waiting on the code to be reset with no solution in sight.
I got on this forum with a hope to assist the mechanics find a solution but after reading years worth of posts by other chevy customers it looks like thats not going to happen.
It looks like the problem is not as "rare" as the GM engineers let on. It also looks like GM has no answer to the problem except to have a PR person give a PC response to every post.
No offence Sara but don't waste your time on this post. I made up my mind about the impala a long time ago. If GM really wanted to do right by their customers they would buy back these cars and replace them. Thank God I didn't pay for this one, it's the tax payers that are taken the hit with this one.

Sarah, GM Customer Service
Unfortunately, my experience was very similar to the other posts on this forum. I was driving on a busy road (traveling around 60mph) and all of a sudden my 2011 Chevy Impala started shaking tremendously and a message flashed "SERVICE STABILITRAK" "REDUCE POWER TO ENGINE";All while my speedometer is vastly decreasing. I was not able to accelerate at all and to pull over on the median. Again I'm on a busy road with other vehicles driving at least 60mph. I called Priority Chevrolet in Chesapeake, VA and the customer service rep assured me this would be covered under my warranty. At that point I was happy to get it fixed for free. However, when I arrived at my appointment, the rude and unprofessional manager fed me a different story. He said that it MAY be covered under my 5year/100K warrany but if not I would have to pay for the diagnostic test AND the cost of repairs and labor. After being very upset I left and will try another Chevy dealer very soon. If it is not covered under my warranty and I do have to pay for it, I will hesitantly do so. If I continue to have the problem, I will push as hard as I can to have this problem rectified via a recall. I will also report GM/Chevrolet to the BBB and any other consumer reporting agency for their apparent lack of concern for their customer's safety. Both my father and my brother love my car and wants to purchase one. Because of this problem, I cannot recommend this vehicle to them and anyone else at that matter. I could have seriously hurt myself. . .or worse. I could have seriously hurt someone else. . .or worse. GM needs to remedy this problem and soon. They also need to refund customers who had to pay out-of-pocket to have this problem fixed. Hopefully, this very serious will be fixed. Soon.
Did you read my entire posting? I had a very bad experience with a Chevrolet representative and you offer no apology or refer me to someone else I can explain my situation to? If you work directly with GM customer service, my posting should have been a red flag to you that service managers down the chain are not treating their customers with respect and concern. With all the negative postings you have received, are you relaying these vital safety concerns with GM management or are you mainly concerned with reporting to your superior that you replied to X number of complaint in a day? Sooner or later someone is going to get hurt due to this mechanical problem and with you knowing about it firsthand, should ensure that you are doing all within your power to make it known to GM officials.
My apologies, safetyfirst83. I did read your post and see that you had been in contact with a customer service representative -- was this with our Customer Assistance Center or with the dealership? My assumption was that it was with the former, and I apologize if I assumed wrong. If you want for us to check into this further, please don't hesitate to contact us via email at firstname.lastname@example.com with more details (including your name and contact information, the last 8 digits of your VIN, and a summary of the situation, or the case number you were issued when you contacted the Customer Assistance Center).

mimimel Posts: 1I am having the same issues. The airbag started a few mos back, the rear window defrost started a few weeks ago, the service traction control/ reduced engine power started when the roads were icy. I have dealt with it for a few mos. This morning I was driving like that and alert came on my steering was being disabled, and my car stopped. I tried to start it and nothing, I waited a few min and then it started and drove fine, has this happened to you. Thank you
kittymom Posts: 1My 2009 Chevy Impala LTZ with 41,000 had the service Stabilitrak warning come on and then immediately the 'reduced engine power' warning as I was pulling into the parking deck this morning to go to work. It scared me as I did not know what this meant. I went to my computer and put in the message and found this forum. My car is at the Chevy dealer right now. I asked if it was a warranty issue and they said they would have to check it first, they have no time to see to it today so I had to rent a car. After reading the forum, I was afraid to drive it to the dealer. My husband took it there. They are supposed to look at it early in the morning. My husband said it seemed fine when he drove it about 15 miles to the dealer except the engine light was on. With all of the complaints of the same problem on this forum, I do not understand why there has not been a recall. It is also disturbing to read that some had their cars 'fixed' and it happened again. Up to this point, I have been totally in love with this car. I travel a lot and wonder when I get the car back, is it really going to be 'fixed'.
Keep us posted on your progress with the dealership, kittymom. If we can be of any assistance, we can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com (include your name and contact information, the lasdt 8 digits of your VIN and mileage, and a summary of the situation).

kdh12389 Posts: 5Since I have been in contact with customer service with no results I have began spreading the word about these cars and their problems. I feel everyone on here should do the same. It is so messed up that I have an 06 SS sitting outside as a yard ornament that costs me over $13,000 which I'm still paying payments on that I feel is not my responsibility to fix since so many others are having the EXACT SAME PROBLEM!!! Maybe once the word is out and Chevrolet starts losing money on these cars they will fix the problem!
rainsmom Posts: 1Welp, I guess the inevitable happened to me tonight! Rolling along with my daughter and my dog and all of a sudden the car shakes and the reduced engine power light comes on! I am concerned because it is cold, dark and we were not close to home! I have a used car (2008) that I've only had
a little over a year so, I am not happy! We made it home okay...but this is definitely an inconvenience!
We're glad to hear that you made it home safely. Let us know if you're planning on working with a dealership to get this checked into at all as we're available to assist. We can be reached at email@example.com (include your name and contact information, the last 8 digits of your VIN and mileage, and a summary of the situation).

My name is Junita Gaither I am a resident of Lancaster SC. I have had my 2009 Impala for one year and mine started with the "service traction control, engine power reduced".. It happened about 3 months ago but never came back on until last friday. I had my car looked by my uncle but he advised me to contact my dealer. I contacted Lancaster Motor Company and they told me I had to pay to have it looked at so I made an appointment for Saturday. .The problem is I am currently LAYING IN THE HOSPITAL because my car SHUT OFF ON ME.. THE WHEEL STARTED SHAKING I COULDN'T STOP. I WENT DOWN AN EMBANKMENT AND HIT A TREE..I AM FINE EXCEPT FOR CHEST AND HEAD INJURIES BUT MY FRIEND HAD A PANIC ATTACK AND IS IN MUCH MORE PAIN.. . If only I would have lolooked into this problem I could have had it traded in. Good thing God was on our side because we could have been KILLED today...
**NEXT STEP...Please help me with the contact information because I will take this further..If any of you would like my contact information I will provide it because we have to work together to get this taken care of by GM..I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE..LET'S TAKE A STAND AGAINST THEM BECAUSE YOU ARE ALL OPERATING A HAZARD..THATIS NOT RIGHT.
We're so very sorry about this incident. Have you contacted the Customer Assistance Center yet (800-222-1020)? We can also be reached via email at firstname.lastname@example.com (include your name and contact information, the last 8 digits of your VIN and mileage, and a summary of the situation).
Kindest regards,
GM Customer Service
roni8 Posts: 1I too have started having this issue. Yesterday on my way to work, my 2008 Chevrolet Impala started slowing down and the REDUCED ENGINE POWER and SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL messages displayed. I then felt my rear tires spinning or something. I was afraid and didn't want to get on the highway so, I turned around and went back home. I dropped my car off at a GM dealer this morning and about an hour later they called me saying they would have to replace my accelerator pedal and rebuild the wire harness. The diagnostic they performed was $95 and the repairs they want to do is $910. After reading so many people having this same issue, it is unbelievable to me that there has not been a recall. We should not be responsible for this repair cost. I have not decided what I am going to do. I cannot afford $1000 car repair. I will be picking my car up in the morning and bringing it back home. I have no intentions of buying another GM car in the future if this is how they treat their customers.
Are you already in touch with our Customer Assistance Center on this? If you would like for us to check into this further, please don't hesitate to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com (include your name and contact information, the last 8 digits of your VIN and mileage, and a summary of the situation).

littlegrayone Posts: 5Take it to another dealer. I had mine fixed for $200 total at my local dealer. If you search on this form, you will find a link on how to repair it yourself. The part is about $100 and is a real easy fix. I discovered this after I had my car repaired. Since I had the accelerator pedal replaced, I have not had any problems with this issue.
