Freshman William Gholston out for rest of the season after having surgery on his shoulder— Matt Charboneau (@mattcharboneau) November 16, 2010
Matt Charboneau is reporting that William Gholston is having shoulder surgery and is out for the season. Dantonio said he could have fought through it but would have missed all of Spring practice. Shame, as some extra bowl practice reps would have helped prepare him for next season.

That's an interesting comment Ann! I could have sworn that buses were actually fitted with doors, 'stop' buttons and that the Island had a liberal smattering of novelty statues known as 'bus stops'. Or were you unaware that to allow the driver of a bus to facilitate alighting you have to press the little red 'stop' button situated on poles within the bus?

Let us hope that things will improve and buses will stop at bus stops for passengers to alight, unlike the present situation!

Will Fred run?
I spent part of the afternoon with U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp, R-Chattanooga. He is pretty much convinced Fred Thompson is going to run. He said Thompson recently had a 90-minute conversation with a "conservative Senator" talking about issues. In other words, doing his homework. Wamp said he doesn't think Thompson will announce until summer.
I actually don't like the sound of this. The last thing Thompson needs is to go get "politicianed up" by talking to a U.S. Senator about the issues. These beltway types have just lost us our majority, after all, by forgetting what conservatism is all about and falling prey to normal politics as usual machinations.
Why listen to them?
Part of Thompson's appeal is that he ISN'T like all the other candidates, and he talks about the issues in a frank and blunt way. No dancing.
I hope he's not getting corrupted up there in Washington by the exact kind of beltway nonsense that has caused the devastation of conservatism and the Republican party of late.
He needs to stay his own man, and not take advice from the very people who have put us over a barrel in the first place.
We believe Fred Thompson will be the next president. Not necessarily because any politician or government official says so, but because everyday grassroots voters like you and me believe in him and we can make it happen.
Join the movement! Nearly 5,000 strong from across the nation, representing all 50 states. People like you and me.
In talking to someone a little in the know, they had their doubts about Fred running, or winning if did run.
His position on abortion does not follow the conservative mantra.
He tends to be a little to honest and open about his opinions.
He won't toe the party line.
I understand these are reasons he decided not to run for TN governor when asked, after much deliberation.

BJP, Modi & Two-Notion Theory
Sometimes, what makes news makes news-catchers puzzled. Lok at the two recent TRP raisers. 'Rahul to play larger role in Congress', said the first. Well, given that Gandhi always has a confirmed ticket to the penthouse of the Congress tower, the real story, one thought, is what has made Rahul the slowest Gandhi to climb the floors: being deferential to the training period or being patient with the existing order his mother has put in place or, just choosing the 'do-or-die' slog overs for padding up?
Consider the other TRP sizzler, by Gandhi's anointed rival, Narendra Modi, with his 'hang-me if you can, but apologise, I shall never' teaser which, despite he himself notifying as a recycled sound byte, has ruled the news waves.
And given Modi's expertise in even making old news the latest newsbreak, it is natural, others have to really work hard to make themselves heard. It took Team Anna to do just the opposite - apologise to the entire media - to try and retain a slice of TV screen before Sushil Kumar Shinde shut everybody out with his twin-tripping curtain-raiser act to his home-ministership!
Yet, Modi deserves immediate attention, given the interesting plots and sub-plots that thicken his tango with Urdu editor-cum-habitual-party-hopper Shahid Siddiqui. It is difficult to say who hit the bull's eye, Modi, or SP-ejected Siddiqui, again single-and-ready-to-mingle, by giving sleepless days and nights to the hapless Shahnawaz Hussein and Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, over the possible entry of yet another 'nationalist minority leader' into the BJP.
But if Mulayam Singh Yadav signed off Siddiqui as a diversionary shot so that TV cameras don't stay zoomed only on Akhilesh Yadav's super-fast meltdown in the CM's office, Ajit Singh could consider welcoming back Siddiqui to his RLD.
But Modi means business, more so vis-a-vis his rival prime ministerial aspirants within the BJP. Never mind the spin that his interview was an effort to reach out to the Muslims (as if they haven't read his stand on riots earlier from the non-Urdu media) in this election year in Gujarat.
That is plain silly. Modi's prime target always remains just one: to remain the Sangh Parivar's Hindu Hridaya Samarat No. 1, who would rather prefer the gallows to apologising to Muslims.
And when Modi chooses to state as much through an Urdu weekly, what he aims to do is not make Muslims understand him better but gift the Parivar core constituency the ultimate ecstasy, of their hero raiding the rival's den itself! Just check out the 24-gun salute his online fandom gave this bit of Modi-speak.
And just look at Modi's timing; just when the Congress announced Rahul's imminent upward mobility, which, should add to the rat-race among the BJP's prime ministerial aspirants to be the anti-Rahul mascot in 2014.
Modi's assertion should also be seen in the context of the BJP central leadership, at least the PM aspirants among them, emphasising the need to go out of the way to expand the NDA, even if it means silently swallowing public humiliation from it allies, such as the JD(U), Shiv Sena and JMM snubbing and dumping the BJP in the Presidential election and playing palanquin-carrier to Jaya/Patnaik-sponsored P A Sangma, in the hope these leaders and their parties would support it in 2014.
The BJP Delhi leaders' attitude in the presidential poll, in fact, was the natural culmination of a defensive (or pragmatic, if you like) line they have been adopting ever since BJP was shaken by the last two consecutive Lok Sabha poll defeats.
During every Parliament session, one can see the main opposition party willingly playing supporting role to Left or other regional parties in a desperate bid to unite the entire Opposition, to show that the saffron party is no untouchable. The vital corollary to this accommodative line of the BJP further diluting its core plank to woo more regional parties is projecting a 'moderate leader'.
While this may be a pragmatic line, given the BJP's desperate need to end its power-cut as well to further the individual goals of some ambitious central leaders, the flip side is that Modi's cultivated persona becomes a misfit in this scheme of things.
While the BJP's central leaders advocate an expansion theory, which means agreeing to the whims of Nitish, Patnaik, Jaya, etc, an alert Modi is countering it with a rival theory in which the BJP's expansion has to be by firming up and building on its core constituency, something that he alone can achieve and which the RSS cannot openly oppose.
With the BJP's Karnataka regime on the verge of collapse and it facing a tough poll in HP later this year, Modi, hopeful of yet another victory, has just filed his caveat against the Delhi plan. In short, the BJP's raging power struggle is caught between two conflicting expansion theories: one a power-hunger fuelled compromise with core values and the other, a power-boosted, strident reaffirmation of those values.

Narendra Modi, is a man of words, he has shown time and again to this leadership hungry nation , what he has done in Gujrat can be done to India as well , India as a nation can be developed.But he needs an opportunity to do so , which he is struggling to get.I think we as good citizens of India should vote him to power to see something big happening to our India.
Mr. Manoj,
What's wrong in this. Why you guys always keep on targetting Mr. Modi. WHy no one cares then about 1984 and the recent Assam riots. When the Babri Masjid was demolished Congress was at central leadership. If one will keep on looking at past always no one can move ahead. You media guys have lost power of analysis I think and have become puppets in the hand of the cureent government.
I would like to tell you that it seems ur parrents were servants in Gandhi Family...Dnt be judgemental on Modi and dnt criticize him...Please dnt show that u have the whole knowledge..You dnt have...fOR Ur info ,if BJP govt is under collapse status in some state,Congress govt is in collapse status in whole country...Its people like u ,because of which Congress is ruling since long time and india is still having so much corruption.U idiot
Clearly, the choice should be "a power-boosted, strident reaffirmation" of core values. BJP needs to recollect from Shrimadbhagwad Geeta, "Swadharme Nidhanam Shreyah, pardharmo bhayavayah" - abandoning one's very core values has horrible consequences, even embracing death while retaining the core values is preferable.
With respect to Human Development Index (HDI), Gujarat's story is devastating. The HDI for Gujarat, in 2008, was 0.527 and it ranked 10 { t} { h} among major states. Kerala stood first (HDI: 0.790), Himachal Pradesh scored 0.652, Punjab 0.605, Maharashtra 0.572 and Haryana 0.552. With respect to three HDI components - income, health and education - Gujarat does not present a shining story. In this respect, states like Kerala took the lead in every sector, while Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal did better than Gujarat.
On three important social indicators, viz life expectancy at birth (LEB), mean years of schooling (MYS) and school life expectancy (SLE), Gujarat is far behind some other states. In Gujarat, the LEB during 2002-06 was 64.1 years and it ranked ninth among major Indian states. In the areas of MYS and SLE, during 2004-05, it ranked seventh and ninth, respectively. Kerala ranked first in all three indicators. Even Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka performed much better than Gujarat.

The Lake County Audubon Society will present Jim and Joan Sayre and their Wildlife Photography Program on Monday, February 4, 7:30 pm at the Libertyville Village Hall, 118 W. Cook Street. Jim and Joan took up digital photography seven years ago when they retired from the pharmaceutical industry. Both are members of the Riverwoods Nature Photographic Society and have had their prints appear in Lake County exhibits and publications.
The Sayres will describe which photographic equipment to use and give helpful hints and guiding principles for excellent wildlife photos. They will address unusual subject matter and give different perspectives of nature in their 234-slide Power Point presentation. Among their many categories will be various insects and spiders, reptiles, flowers and mushrooms, and birds.
Each year, Joan and Jim donate hundreds of photos to Conserve Lake County and the Lake County Forest Preserves for educational purposes and for use in printed materials. In fact, six of their prints are on permanent display in the Lake County Forest Preserves headquarters.
By giving presentations such as the one this month, they hope to encourage people to look more closely at the beauty that surrounds us and to preserve and protect our open spaces for future generations.
The hour and a half meeting is free and open to the public. Children are welcome. Bird houses will be available for sale.

OCEANSIDE — Back before 1984, the Guajome Mesa subdivision, a knot of single-story homes on the southern bank of the San Luis Rey River, faced a predicament year-in and year-out.
During dry spells, neighbors would cross the San Luis Rey by driving over a temporary road laid on the river bottom. But when the river waters began to rise with winter rains, the neighborhood was virtually cut off from the schools, parks and shopping centers on the other side.

Fetuses use parasite trick to avoid attack
IF YOU think comparing a fetus to a parasite is unkind, think again. The puzzle as to why a pregnant woman's immune system doesn't attack the fetus and placenta - both of which contain genetic material from the father - may finally have been cracked.
It seems the placenta produces hitherto unknown hormones containing the same molecule some parasitic worms use to avoid detection by the immune system. As well as helping the fetus avoid immune attack, the hormones may also summon extra blood and nutrients to the aid of an undernourished fetus.
The discovery of this possible chemical control system could herald new ways to prevent recurrent miscarriages and pre-eclampsia, a condition which can lead to convulsions, coma and death in pregnant women. It also sheds some light on why rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease, eases when women become pregnant.

How careful was I when I took my way, Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, That to my use it might unused stay From hands of falsehood, in sure wards of trust! But thou, to whom my jewels trifles are, Most worthy comfort, now my greatest grief, Thou best of dearest, and mine only care, Art left the prey of every vulgar thief. Thee have I not lock'd up in any chest, Save where thou art not, though I feel thou art, Within the gentle closure of my breast, From whence at pleasure thou mayst come and part; And even thence thou wilt be stol'n I fear, For truth proves thievish for a prize so dear.

We have a place booked between Xmas and New Years, but I waited to book the flights, because I thought they would get cheaper. They haven't, and now, not only are there less choices, but the ones we wanted are nearly $2000 per ticket from the Midwest. Does anyone know if they add more flights as we get closer to the time (and especially since the other flights have filled up), or did I miss my opportunity?

mysql data but from another host
I have my site hosted with Host A, that only allows one mysql db. But I need another for a script I want to put on that site.
Can I just use a mysql database that is on another host and link to it via my site with Host A? Any pros or cons if this is possible?

It is possible, the script on Host A would need to establish a separate connection to the database on Host B.
If the one database per site is the only restriction then another possibility would be to use the same database but with a different name prefix for the tables for the new stuff eg.
The existing tables would be like xx_table_name and the new tables would be like yy_table_name. They wouldn't necessarily be xx and yy as long as the two are not the same.Community Team Advisor

and of course you would need to "prefix" your table names in the combined database only if there are any tables with the same name in both source databases
don't just rename them for the sake of renaming them

text: Prior to owning these MSR's, I snowshoed with aluminum tubular snowshoes which felt a bit clumsy, and they continually sprayed my backside with snow. I watched other snow shoe folks moving much more effortlessly and found out they were wearing MSRs. The next day I purchased these and discovered they make all the difference between having fun in the snow, and trudging through the snow. They are very lightweight with metal teeth on the bottom which make it easy to get through ice encrusted surfaces. I have also used them in deep powdery snow and did not experience the snow-spray on my backside as I did with the aluminum snowshoes. Very pleased with this purchase.

USPS faces competing interests in path to reform
Wednesday - 10/5/2011, 6:27am EDT
The Postal Service is expected to post record losses this year, first-class mail continues to lose ground to the Internet, and the agency is running low on cash and struggling to pay its debts. The key to its future may depend on finding the perfect balance between serving the public and making hard-nosed management decisions based on the bottom line.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is leading the Republican charge to make the Postal Service solvent. Speaking to the Heritage Foundation in Washington on Monday, Issa said laws, contracts and regulations are holding the agency back.
"Give me a $65 billion business that is stagnant to shrinking, that is losing money but can make money, and give me the stock option that goes with it," he said. "I can turn a $10 billion loss into a profit while still giving people good pay if I have the flexibility."
His plan would let a board restructure the Postal Service's financial obligations if the agency was more than 30 days late in paying its bills. Issa estimated the agency would need to shed 200,000 jobs in the next few years to become more efficient. Issa said the Postal Service should model itself after the Army, by requiring retirement-eligible employees to leave.
"The Army tells you, 'You've got your 20 years. Goodbye.' The Army doesn't let you stay until you're ready to retire," he said. "They don't sit there saying, 'We can't lay anyone off.'"
Many postal employees are protected from layoffs by provisions in union contracts.
While still a government agency, the Postal Service is supposed to make strategic decisions like a business. Its funding comes from operations, not tax revenue. And with losses mounting, the agency wants to trim its network of post offices and processing facilities.
But the law prevents the Postal Service from closing post offices in rural areas for economic reasons alone. It also says the agency should provide the same service to all citizens at the same rate, regardless of whether they live in Hawaii, Alaska or the Lower 48.
No one is proposing that the Postal Service stop providing universal service. But the Postal Regulatory Commission, which is required to advise the Postal Service on its proposed network changes, is watching carefully to make sure the agency continues to act in the public interest.
"We have to look at the impact of these proposals with regard to the law to determine if the Postal Service's method for deciding on closing postal offices in rural areas is, in fact, something you can justify for reasons other than economics," said PRC chairwoman Ruth Goldway in a separate interview with Federal News Radio.
A 1971 law requires that the Postal Service not only serve everyone, but also pay for itself. Now, Goldway said, the agency has a dilemma: Is it more important to provide service or to shore up finances?
"The Postal Service wants to break even and be financially sound, and our role is to work with them to strike the right balance," she said. "In their presentations, they have to show how they can continue to provide universal service."
She said the PRC had heard from lawmakers and citizens worried that their local post offices may close.
"We've had hundreds and hundreds of letters from people concerned about it," she said. "If you alienate your customers, will they come back anyway?"
Goldway said the PRC would evaluate this round of post office closings before Christmas. It will also examine the Postal Service's methodology for choosing post offices to close, she said, rather than study each post office individually.

Haha ok, not really!
Just wanted to drop by and congratulate the Horns on their victory in the Big 12 title game, and their upcoming berth in the national title game against my Crimson Tide.Clock Controversy aside, it was a very gutsy performance, and the Longhorns should all be proud of a team that played their hearts out. Close, hard fought defensive games like that one are my favorite kind of football.
I also wanted to express how happy we, the Bama nation, are that we will be playing Texas in the NC game. (Before anyone makes any accusations, I'm NOT saying this because we have some stupid idea that it will be an easy win.) Texas is one of the few schools that Alabama has NEVER beaten, and is a program every bit as rich in tradition as is ours. We were hoping for a Texas win in the Big 12 game so that we could have a NC game of two historical powerhouses, and I know I am expecting one hell of a game. We will have to defend one of the best QB/WR combos in the nation in McCoy/Shipley, and will be going against an outstanding coaching staff. This should be a war for the ages, and I absolutely cannot wait to see how this one turns out.
As a side note, I'm a Bama grad, both my parents and most of my family are Texas grads...this is a game we have been wanting to happen for a LONG time now. Best of luck to the Longhorns in their preparation for the game, I hope our teams can give each other the absolute war that both of our fanbases want to see.
Roll Tide, and we'll see you all in Pasadena!

2008 Cadillac CTS
jimbres Posts: 2,025Easy, Rocky. I've been reading Mark's posts for years. He has an unusual, think-out-loud style of writing that takes some getting used to, but he adds value to every discussion. Having him here will raise the level of conversation. I say that even though I don't buy into his views on leasing (he holds the Guiness record for number of Audis leased consecutively) or AWD (he seems to think that AWD is better even when the car is parked with the engine turned off). He wouldn't be here if the CTS didn't genuinely interest him. He's certainly not here to lob bombs.
One more thing. I've been a regular here at Edmunds for almost 9 years, & I've noticed that folks always get more worked up over not-yet-introduced cars than they do over cars that are actually in showrooms now. This seems to be a law of the universe. Maybe it's because when an argument gets started, it can't be settled in the usual ways: by taking a test drive or referring to a recent C&D or R&T road test. (Or maybe it's because these discussions attract an above-average number of 13-year-olds. Who knows?) So the discussion turns hot & silly & stays that way until a host steps in or the participants lose interest. Why fight over the interior trim quality (or lack of same) of a car that's months away from the showroom? It's absolutely pointless.
For the record: I'm a satisfied BMW (330i, sports package, stick) owner who's happy to see that the absurdly small number of RWD luxury sport sedans that can be had with manual transmissions is about to increase. I don't know if there's a CTS in my future -- I won't be in the market again until 2009 - but I like what I see & I hope it's a home run for GM.
I dont know anything about markcincinnati but I disagree that he has added anything to the discussion. He isnt impressed by the CTS relative to the competition and that is fine, but how many times do we have to read the same thing? We get it, the CTS is a generation behind the competition and is a lame attempt by Cadillac to lead the entry luxury sedan segment. He is getting repetative and annoying. If he feels the CTS isnt up to pay he doesnt not have to buy the car. Get a BMW 335 and call it a day.
I dont know who you are arguing with at this point. For pricing reasons alone the CTS is unlikely to be cross shopped with the 5 series and E class. It will be much cheaper and will most likely be competing with the compact luxury Europans and G35/TL. NO one here disputes this fact so I dont get your obsession with convincing us the CTS isnt a true midsize luxury sedan competitor. In terms of size, power and features it COULD be compared to a 535 or E350. It's that simple. Since it's in a different price class most buyers wont see the CTS as a 535 competitor but it's a realistic comparison based on the merits of both cars. You havent stated why this comparison wouldnt be valid. The CTS will have the space, features and power found in the 528/535 but will most often be cross shopped with the 3 series.
Also, you keep referring to this 6th place finish in C&D but the CTS was the 2nd oldest car in that test and thus finished 6th. As I already noted, it finished FIRST in a R&T comparison when it was newer vs the 530, 300, S80, A6, etc. YOu never responded to that. Any car that is near the end of it's lifecycle is bound to finish near the bottom of a comparion because it lacks power and features.
"Comparing the CTS to the cars above its class -- until we know more that would permit such a comparison -- is akin to the Hyundai claims that their flagship is "roomier" than a BMW 7 series. Most folks would not accept the notion that the Hyundai was a competitor to the BMW simply based on its interior volume, trunk space or other measurements of cubic feet. "
That statement is laughable. We are comparing the CTS to the 535, E350, etc. based on size, performance and luxury features. As someone stated, why dont you tell us what the car is lacking compared to those vehicles. We already know most people wont compare the CTS to those cars, but they wouldnt be crazy to do so. The Azera doesnt have half the features found on the 7 series and it's nowhere near the same class of vehicle. That analogy was poor.
The CTS according to some professional reviewers (and me, even though I am an amateur) IS a generation behind its direct competition. The 2008 CTS will catch up apparently. It does not move ahead of its competition (the ELLPS) and it almost certainly will remain a generation behind the current LPS incumbents' 2008 versions. Yet, so what? The CTS is not an LPS car, the A4 and G35, ditto -- these ELLPS cars, too, are likely to be a generation behind their LPS siblings. No harm no foul.
The CTS, I contend, needs to differentiate itself or move ahead of its rivals in order to regain the standard of the world designation it seems to be striving for.
The strategy of GM isn't to make a better car. They want to do what Toyota did to them 20 years ago. Build a comparable car that in no way stands out from the rest except in reliability and lower cost. It's a very smart plan, IMO. You get peolpe who are lokoing at the de-contented and plasticky E class now - they sure *will* cross-shop the new CTS, especially in the Midwest, where there is still a nagging voice in the back of their heads saying "buy American".
If the CTS consistently got 4th place out of 8 cars in every test for driving but was $10K less money - by far the least expensive - you can bet it would get a recommendation in most magazines. Entry-level gives a huge bias towards being, well, affordable to peolpe who are lookig to step up. And $40-50K for a Volvo or Audi or BMW because they want a luxury car that's not the size of a Civic or 3 series(the 3 isn't really useable for a family, for instance)... It's just a hard pill for many to swallow, even if they can do so. They'd much rather find somethng for $35K and save the money.
Btw, a base 2007 CTS is just at $28K. The new ones will be about $32-34K to start, according to the dealer I talked to today. Cloth seats, no nav, 6-speed gearbox... but with that nice 3.6VVT engine and the better interior. Looks very attractive to me.
CarsDirect Price: $28,327 - including delivery. No incentives, financing, or rebates currently. I don't se how the base 2008 is going to be that much more expensive. Certainly not 40k+ as some of the detractors are saying it will be.
Speaking as a 13 year old with 33 years experience, I don't believe Mark has reached the age where practicality trumps status. He may subscribe to Cleopatra's definition of luxury: dissolving pearls in wine and drinking them. One reason M-B and others have been able to sell small, uncomfortable, and sometimes unreliable cars successfully is that everyone knows they are very expensive to own. Cadillac hasn't been able to do that, and I hope they never do.
I've never been able to understand the allure of an imported product, and I suspect people who feel it cannot be cured. One of my former neighbors had such a bad time with his 300D, the dealer gave him a full price credit on a new one, and later the idiot bought a third one.
Some people are gizmo freaks and load their cars up with options just to say it's loaded.
Remember the 2007 base has the smaller engine and vinyl; the 3.6L starts about 33k.
Do you have any actual information they're offering cloth seats? Right now, they offer them only in Middle East 2.8L CTS's and not US ones. This is important to me because I much prefer cloth.
Well, that's what the dealer said - that the base model will have cloth seats since everyone hated the vinyl and kept requesting cloth.
I suspect that the price won't be much different, or maybe a slight bit less to keep that bottom-end as close to 30K as possible. Cloth is an easy way to save some money in a non-critical area that doesn't destroy the interior.
Personally I don't like the cheap leather anyways - it's not REAL full-thickness leather, either, so why pay the money, especially when you know it's just going to get stains on it from the kids and such?
That's very good news to me. I don't remember any mention of cloth in the press release, but they were careful to avoid saying the dash was leather (could be an option). Cadillac hasn't offered cloth in the US since 1999.
My beef with leather is ventilation, pun intended. I can't wear synthetics without puddling. I've never tried perforated leather or the new ventilated seats--I wonder if they're discussed in a thread here.
I suspect thicker leather wouldn't be very showroom-soft, but it would hold up better. Cracked leather is uglier and harder to fix than dirty cloth.
It's going to be hard to get one of these at MSRP for a while, much less a discount.
For the record: I am VERY IMPRESSED with the new 2008 CTS. I wouldn't even bother posting here and jousting with others here if I thought it wasn't a HUGE move forward for Cadillac, GM and frankly American manufacturing and the American (and perhaps global) customer.
One is not able to be driven, today. But, if it were, I would test it IMMEDIATELY not so I could dis it and tell you how much better some foreign make is, it would be with the sincere desire to be impressed.
I EXPECT to be impressed. I merely said I thought the car needed some "ahead of the pack" not "equal to the rest of the pack" content. (My last gen comments are primarily in response to the notion that some seem to think the CTS will graduate to the LPS class with this update -- AND I contend that the ELLPS 2008 CTS will incorporate 2005 LPS content.)
Now here is something I just can't let pass: "The strategy of GM isn't to make a better car. They want to do what Toyota did to them 20 years ago. Build a comparable car that in no way stands out from the rest except in reliability and lower cost."
I am also wondering if Cadillac REALLY is trying to emulate the Toyota example. Are they really attempting to build a car that in no way stands out from the rest. . .? I believe they want (and seem to have the capability) to build a world beater, not a world keeper-up-with.
But, as usual, I could be wrong -- just never uncertain. :surprise:
Yet this counter to the typical competetive ideology is what set Toyota apart in the 80s. They were just another car - like Mazda is now - but they were cheaper to fix, broke less often, and cost a few thousand less out the door. GM had the image, but was falling apart where it counted.
And peolpe started buying them instead of domestics.
BMW and Mercedes have become horribly unreliable and expensive. Volvo is rapidly turning into a joke as well - at least compared to a decade ago(1993-1997 was probably their high-point). All GM has to do is offer a simmilar product with a better warranty, better reliability, lower cost to fix, and for a lower price...
Oh, wait - other than the interior, the first generation CTS was all of that. The next looks to be a significant upgrade. So expect a lot of shoppers to take a look at it - and then another once they see the under $40K price.
Just opened my new Automobile magazine and looked at the pictures, read the words (mostly positive, very positive) about the upcoming CTS.
I keep googling this, that and the other place to find out what will be available with what.
I would certainly be keenly interested in a configuration like this:
2008 CTS w/300 HP V6
o sport suspension/wheels [18" or bigger] (maybe sport seats)
o either 6 speed would be fine, but I'd probably go with the manual
o AWD (sorry, this one is a deal breaker)
o Magnaride
o Technology/guidance package: sat nav, sat radio, voice control of nav and phone, bluetooth, park sensing and/or rear backup camera, TPMS with TP readout, electochromic mirrors
o Leather and/or leather alcantara (optional) seats
o Front and rear heated seats
And the things Cadillac generally calls "Luxury Performance Group."
Here is a concern -- the AWD will not be allowed with the 300HP engine, the sport package or the stick shift. Reading one site it appears the AWD version will be somewhat limited in its configurability (auto only -- which in and of itself is not a show stopper -- 258HP -- which MAY not be a show stopper, but 300HP would be sweeet, and so on.
The question is, "is there a place one can go to determine what combinations will be offered??
I assume, barring technical restrictions, there will be MARKETING reasons (initially) to offer configurations and that over time these may change. I need to be in order mode in 13 months and despite what some of you have concluded, the early data (and the pictures) have made me keenly interested in the CTS AWD @ 300HP with a 6 speed manual.
I am continuing to be more impressed with Cadillac's efforts for this refresh. :surprise:
You're probably right. I HATE the way they sell options now. I thought modern manufacturing was supposed to be more flexible, but if you compare the number and types of choices we had 30 years ago, it's ridiculous.
I'm middle-aged, so I want the softest suspension and smaller wheels. I live in the old part of town, and my Intrigue makes me feel every road imperfection.
How well do modern clutches hold up? I last had a manual in 88, and it went through clutches like water. It may have been my driving style of course.
The press release is the only solid information I would trust. Someone said bluetooth wouldn't be available initially except for export (very odd). I don't recall Magnaride being an option, which is too bad. What is TPMS?
Looking at your list of gizmos, you may have to get an STS to get all of them. At the GMI site, people are expecting the STS to be redone for the 2009 model year, but no one knows for sure.
I can't imagine them not combining AWD and the 300hp engine. Look at the current STS to see if they combine manual and AWD.
GM has a long tradition of offering desirable options, especially engines, the second year of a new model. It's stupid because it hurts them in magazine comparisons and irritates first year customers, to say nothing of the potential customers who never hear about the upgrade and go elsewhere. By next March, you may be able to find out what's new on the 09 model, which could be infuriating if your lease is up then.
If I can't get my A/C fixed cheaply, I'm seriously considering buying a used El Cheapo with a manual & A/C to see if I want another manual in a CTS or G8.
pearl Posts: 336Mark, I agree that we all want more info on the CTS. I don't think we will get much more than has already been released anytime soon, so I am now waiting for the first car mags (or Edmunds) to get their hands on an early version for some testing. From what has been released so far, it seems that Caddy has checked most of the boxes on things that we all clamored for. The AWD may not be available with the 300hp engine, but then, some potential competitors don't have AWD available with their top engines (M45, IS350, etc). Audi figured out how to do this long ago, but so far, most other manufacturers have not stepped up to this issue.

The Salem News
---- — To the editor:
My son Seamus and I arrived outside the CVS in Hannaford Plaza shortly after 1 p.m., slightly late after weaving our way through Lowell Street traffic. I am the assistant coach of the Indians, T-ball Division. My son is one of our "star" players — we consider them all stars, actually. We took over the buckets from the Mets' coach and his son and tried to look appealing to the busy shoppers. It was time to beg for money for the benefit of the Peabody Western Little League.
This was not how I imagined my reunion with baseball — many years after I last scampered around Little League basepaths myself. After 10 minutes, I wasn't happy. I mostly stood at attention, but occasionally used a ledge in the wall as an occasional uncomfortable seat. It seemed few were in a giving mood. Wasn't the recession over yet, at least in West Peabody?
Gradually the donations got steadier. My son worked his smile on the passers-by. Many shoppers stopped to say a word or two. One man said he saw Indians at the Dunkin' Donuts and asked "Are only Indians collecting money today?" I nodded, because it certainly felt that way to me. He added that he had been an Indian as a boy in Lynn, so it was good to see Indians again.
A woman gave us a dollar and added that my son was "the cutest baseball player that she had ever seen." I thanked her for the contribution and silently admired her good taste. A woman stopped by to chat about her son, whose Little League coach asked what position he wanted to play, and he said he wanted to be a pitcher. The coach said he would probably play outfield. The woman noted that her son just received a baseball scholarship to Northeastern University — as a pitcher! Many others observed to me that their sons had played T-ball and loved it. Two young boys, maybe about 12, came screaming toward us on their bikes. I pulled my son aside, considering all boys over 5 to be reckless daredevils. My mouth dropped open when one of the boys stopped next to me, pulled out his wallet and gave me a dollar.
We had been out there almost two hours; time had flown by. It was 3 p.m., time to go. I asked Seamus, "Are you ready to go home?" He reminded me that people said "We'll get you on our way out." A super salesman some day? We stayed an extra 10 minutes. I finally got my son into the car and we felt the day had been a success. I dreamed that my son could someday get a baseball scholarship to Northeastern, too.
We collected $118.08 for the benefit of the Peabody Western Little League. Of that, I collected approximately $10 dollars — OK maybe $7 — and my son the rest. And maybe we did something more as well — reconnected a few people with their own youthful baseball memories.

Wear jeans to work everyday, and 3. Serve great quality homemade food we like to people like us. We offer an extensive dinner menu of homemade Italian food, steaks, chops, seafood, and appetizers. Innovative and fresh specials at lunch and dinner. Lots of locals call us their favorite restaurant! Lots of people think we're just Italian, but it's not true! Another one of our goals is to charge you a reasonable amount of money for the best homemade food around. The best times are when the dining room is active; you hear laughter from the bar when you walk in. Fortunately for us, this generally is the case. We love it when people leave and tell us, "It was worth the wait," and they are obviously happy. This isn't just about making a living; we enjoy making people happy, and are proud when you make us f

Finally the dull dreary days of winter are behind us and the promise of summer with sun drenched long days spent at the beach and BBQ's draws close, bringing with it the promise of lots less clothes…eeeeeekkkkkk most of us cry.
As the seasons change this is a really great time to stop, take a breath and re-fresh and re-new your spa. Just a few simple changes can completely have your clients going WOW and looking at your space with fresh eyes. Even better try and make the changes on the day when the spa is closed for even more impact….
1. Change around your retail – Bring to the front summer items
- Sun products for face body and hair
- Hydrating moisturizers
- Bright summer polishes
Make up a unique summer pack and wrap prettily adding some toy sunglasses can really add that fun element.
2. Change around your posters.
People stop seeing them after a while so BRIGHT FRESH NEW ONES can really have an impact as people view them with renewed interest and purpose.
3 Change some simple décor items,
- Throw pillows
- Towels
- A new flowering plant or display all have an amazing impact for a small outlay.
4. Create some SUMMER PACKAGES
Sizzle for Summer could be 3 Universal Contour Wraps
10 Eurowaves
Mani and pedi
Shimmer at Sunset could be Hair cut and colour
Mani and pedi
Let your imagination run free, then post it on Facebook, your own blog, print it on bright paper and attach it to the receipt of every client leaving for maximum impact. It is amazing how many clients leave not realizing what other services you offer, so never assume they know.
If your contouring treatments have been quiet after the early burst of New Year enthusiasm, now is the time to take them out, brush them off, and get them to the forefront of your menus because without question clients will be spending money on looking their best this summer season. Let's make sure that by combining visual interest at the spa with education by therapists and your social media efforts, that they know ALL the great services you have to offer, so that those "looking fabulous dollars" stay well and truly in your spa.
New posters are available for EUROWAVE AND UNIVERSAL CONTOUR WRAP ….just ask and we will willingly send them to you.
Have a fabulous summer,

The MacBook Air now features all-day battery life — up to 9 hours for the 11-inch model and up to 12 hours for the 13-inch model.
The techs at ClickAway weigh in on mobile tools that help you stay motivated and well-organized.
ClickAway Mobile customers have been telling us a lot about this scam lately. They see a missed call and try to call back to see who it was. According to a recent warning issued by the Better Business Bureau, however, that quick call-back can end up costing consumers ridiculous sums of money.

ClickAway has earned the service industry's coveted Angie's List Super Service Award, reflecting an exemplary year of service provided to members of the consumer review service in 2013. This is the 5th time ClickAway has won the award.
While there are a lot of high end gadgets out there grabbing the headlines, there are a few items that deserve a mention, not only because they are useful and work well but also because they are reasonably priced at ClickAway and ClickAway Mobile stores in the Bay Area. Here are a few of our favorite things:
We repair a lot of cracked screens on smartphones, tablets and PCs these days. Let's face it, they are easy to break but a broken display does not your device is broken and your data is lost. You may not be able to see the data but ClickAway can.
At our ClickAway computer stores, we often have customers asking what the best monitor is to buy? We carry all brands, both PC and Mac but a recent article by PC Magazine is a pretty good review of the models out there.
That big shopping day is almost here and may well be the best time to get a new smartphone, computer, tablet or hand-held home security system. Here are some great deals exclusively at our ClickAway Mobile and ClickAway computer stores throughout the Bay Area.

A. Barton Hinkle on Fictitious Spending Cuts
Would you like to save $20,000 this year? Of course you would. Here's how: Plan a month-long vacation to Disneyland, and budget $20,000 for the trip. Then don't go. Presto! You just "cut" your family budget by 20 grand.
This sounds absurd—because it is. Yet that is precisely how Washington operates, writes A. Barton Hinkle.

Staff reports
Enid News and Eagle
ENID, Okla. —
Despite Facebook posts about StarTek's potential return to Enid, a company spokeswoman says the reopening is mere conjecture for now.
"At this point, it is indeed a rumor," said Rosemary Hanratty, StarTek's director of marketing and communications. "I will let you know if the situation changes."
One reader posted the following comment Thursday on the EnidNews Eagle Facebook page:
"So I just got a call from StarTek, looks like they are considering re-opening the Enid location. For those of you who live there, heads-up."
City of Enid and Enid Regional Development Alliance officials said they have not heard anything regarding the downtown call center's return.
"We have never wavered in our hope that we can reopen Enid — so you may hear more rumors over the next few months," Hanratty said. "But I promise I will let you know if any of them become reality."
Wade Patterson, Garfield County assessor, said the building at 116 E. Randolph is still owned by StarTek USA Inc. in Colorado.
As part of an incentive package to attract and keep the call center in Enid, the city of Enid paid StarTek from economic development funds approved in a vote of residents.

It was no surprise that Steve Melink wants to preserve the Ohio Advanced Energy Standard; his business depends on the subsidies that come from the state and the federal programs ("Keep energy law in place," Dec. 1). It would be helpful if someone actually published data that illustrated the effectiveness of these sources of alternate energy, so that the general public could make an informed opinion on their effectiveness.
Wait, they can't do that because they are not cost effective. Wind energy systems have to have sustained winds of 11 mph (can you say great lakes, oceans or western plains.). What about solar panels? They cost $25000 for a home system and produce 392 kwh per month – that might power your fridge. Without the subsidies of $7,500 they just never ever pay out.
Without our tax subsidies or some government regulation that taxes carbon based energy, these systems are just flights of fancy and it is disingenuous at best of Mr. Melink to support them.

You and I are like a tree, our roots go deep.
In the youth of its life flourish bright, green buds sprouting out.
Then a winter sets in, branches stripped of its leaves, bare to brave the cold.
Seasons breathe into you and I, changes unexpected. I am sorry, I don't know why?
Like the storm which comes up from behind, wind blows, howls, branches broken!
Yet she stands tall, still alive in the yard, tree.
Gradually more sun begins to shine, days will grow warmer as another changing season rolls by.
Love, we too, begin to blossom like a tree, all over again, in time, never forgotten.

Census: More people leaving state than moving inThe Associated Press | February 13,2013MONTPELIER — U.S. Census figures show that for the first time in almost three-quarters of a century Vermont lost population last year, a drop caused by more people leaving the state than moving in.
Even though last year's population decline was small, just under 600, it's part of a broader trend that has seen the state's population growth rate hover just above zero for several years.
University of Vermont Economic Art Woolf says it was the first time since 1944 the state lost population.
Commerce Secretary Lawrence Miller says the trend of losing population or low growth is a challenge to economic development.
The Census Bureau figures showed that Vermont and Rhode Island were the only two states in the country to lose population last year.MORE IN This Just InRICHARD'S POOR ALMANACK: Vanessa Williams resigns from Miss America pageant after Bob Guccione publishes nude photos of her in Penthouse magazine and Hefner takes the high road; on this day in 1995, Alan Hale and Thomas Bopp discover a new comet. 0Rutland Herald content editor Rich Alcott uploads astronomic, historic and epigrammatic data...
