2010 Chevy Equinox Problems
maggienky Posts: 1My entire family are GM Loyal. When we get together the only cars out side are GM. It looks like a dealership. This is the first time I have ever experience this level of poor workmanship. I am very sadden by this. I will have to go with someone else to replace the Equinox. My problem is how do you sell this car? No one in there right mind would purchase it. I am a Real Estate Professional. I drive for a living. I have to have a reliable car and this is NOT it! I have experienced every thing on the site and more. Currently in the shop for transmission noise. They tell me it was black when they checked it. Topped it off and I am supposed to go pick it up. I don't think so. Its got 10,000 miles left on the power train warranty. They just put a new engine in it three weeks ago. :lemon: :lemon: :lemon:
I have posted at the safe car I believe. At least I posted at a government site. We are going to try Facebook and u tube as well. I want people to know that our tax dollars bailed them out, and they are not one whit concerned with their customers. My vehicle is dangerous, but as of yesterday, their representative instructed me to drive it so they could get a "code".
aussieinva Posts: 8Hello missmo,
I am monitoring the blog when my work commitments allow. Thanks for the details on your vehicle.
I suggest everyone visit the Edmunds forum link contained further down this blog line from Stever (the host),,,review your dealers performance on that forum (either good or bad), eventually, when these non performing dealers are called out publicly to explain their lack of action, then maybe the public will be better aware of these disaster stories.
As to the dealer expecting you to drive the vehicle until it codes out, I would contact an attorney or AAA and ask a simple question...If my vehicle fails and causes an accident while you are, at the dealers insistence, "driving what you suspect is an unsafe vehicle, while trying to produce the error code", is the dealer negligible in their duty of care to you as a customer...same goes for GM, where there is more than sufficient evidence that these vehicles, the engines in particular, are failures looking for somewhere to occur.
franfol Posts: 3I also have a 2010 Equinox I purchase brand new and every 6 months it decides to perculate like a coffee pot and require thousands of dollars of work covered up my warranty.
It has seen a new timing chain, new air conditioning, broken raditor(dealer broke that).
They just gave me a rental and said it is burning too much oil and it will be 3 days at least.
The best thing that came with my car was the warranty and then the extended warranty. I owe $17,000 still and it is not even worth that much.
What are my rights?
tom2477 Posts: 3I had my 2010 Nox with 68,000 miles on it, purchased in Aug-2009. All the same issues was one of the original people posting to this forum. Decided to trade it in since it's not worth the hassle time spent dealing with dealership on what's covered under warrarty ect.
Best decision I made; upgraded to an Acura yes pay more but piece of mind and less trouble in the long run. Happy to say I can remove this forum from my email notificaitons; suggest you all jump ship too.
If you owe $17.000 on your 2010 Nox you were in way over your head from the get go with this SUV purchase. I have had most of the same issues with my 2010 4cyl Nox and GM backed up the 100K warranty and offered a loaner for all warranty work I ever needed. I have 55K on my 2010 Nox which will be 4 years of age in October 2013...I will be purchasing a 2014 NOX 3.6 Eng when they hit the showroom in August...I feel this is a Excellent Value for this GM SUV and fuel consumption not all that bad at 24-MPG average when you look at other comparable SUV's on market.
Why would you even continue to watch a GM Forum!!! Acura is also a awesome SUV not even at the same level as the NOX...Next time your @ Acura for service ask them why they have so many service bays and vehical lifts at the dealership! Better Keep you eye on that other forum.
I've been offered a fleet 2010 Equinox LS from a major well respected company with 74,000 miles for 11,500. No problems, well maintained by strict maintenance guidelines. They have their own shop as well.
This was driven by sales guys. Right now they have around 20 for sale as they just bought 2013s.
Currently I have a 2009 Camry SE loaded with radio, sunroof, wheels, tint....etc with 69,000 miles. I've had it for 8 months, and its just okay. More stuff than I need and I'm tired of the ground effects.
I'll sell the Camry for $13,000...I hope, and the equinox prices at $16,00, but I'm getting it at $11,500 as part of employee plan.
Camry is the best car ever I'm always told...I could use the extra space, but am I an idiot for considering this "trade"?
stever YooperlandPosts: 40,010If your company is buying new 2013 Equinoxes, that should tell you something about the kind of luck they've had with them.
Unfortunately people don't tend to visit forums or review sites and take the time to report that their experience with their car or whatever was average or "normal". So you have to try to guess whether the problem posts involve an unusual number of cars (or hotel rooms or toasters). Good maintenance records are a plus with any used car. Now, if your company is switching brands, that's another story.
Life is short, if you're tired of the Camry, dump it. :shades:

This is a great opportunity; the drive line has a 100k transferable warranty and you know already know the history for maintenience. Its very common for a large fleet to turn over vehicals ever 3-4 years; buy it! I just traded my 2010 Lt 4cyl Nox last week for a 2013 3.6 V6 Terrain. My 2010 never let me down and any issues i had since purchased in Oct 2009 were all covered by GM Warranty. My advise; dont get caught up in the negative unprofessional nonsense that a small percentage of NOX owners screem about on line; go talk to the professionals and ask about the transferable GM warranty and what all is covered; its that simple...I really enjoyed my 2010 Nox and REALLY Like this 2013 3.6 V6!
I would not recommend trading for a 2010 equinox. I own a 2010 equinox 4 cyl and the engine has been replaced once at 40k and will have to be replaced again by 100k. (i hope i will be able to get it done within warranty) I use full synthetic oil and change oil religously at twice the recommended interval. I have also had the a/c condensor replaced and the rear differential replaced.
there is a fundamental design flaw in the 2010-2011 2.4L equinox motors, so despite liking the equinox design I would recommend against buying a 2010 or 2011. I believe the 2012 may turn out better for engine reliability since it has a modified engine. I would recommend only getting a 2012 or newer
How could you possibly know you will need another engine prior to 100k; I need to assume your GM dealer replaced your engine block with one from a different batch / manufacturing run? I'm very aware of most of the drive line issues and experience some issues myself. However; GM covered all parts & labor including the loaner vehical while my 2010 4cyl nox was in shop. I would be glad you have a 100K transferable warranty and enjoy it while it lasts; remember the 35K warranties offered not to long ago. Just traded my 2010 4cyl LT1 Nox last week for a 2013 Terrain 3.6 V6, I was given $16.000 for my 55k mile 2010 Nox trade; only cost me $8000 in depreciation over about 4 years. Now check your Crystal Ball for advising on GM future dependibility & trade Value!
I don't need a crystal ball to know that the engine will have to be replaced again. The replacement engine has started consuming oil at a greater and greater rate again just like the original engine did before it needed to be replaced. Once it consumes oil greater than the gm warranty standard for oil consumption, it will need to be replaced. There is a gm TSB on the "zebra stripe" scoring of cylinder walls leading to oil consumption on these engines. The resolution is to replace the engine.
I'm glad that you feel you got good trade in value for your vehicle, but that doesn't help anyone planning on keeping their car for the long term 150K plus miles nor does it help the buyer of your trade in. It's not unreasonable to expect the engine on a new car to last for the life of the car, which extends past the warranty period.
For the record, I AM glad that there is a 100K powertrain warranty.
djm2 Posts: 705Good Morning Everyone:
I have been monitoring this Equinox site, and I am wondering why there seems to be a big issue with the 2010 - 2.4 - four cylinder engine in the Chevrolet Equinox, ----- and there does NOT seem to be an issue with the 2010 - 2.4 - four cylinder Chevrolet LTZ Malibu engine. ------- (I own the Chevrolet Malibu, and it now has 44,000 miles!) ------- Outside of a computer software problem with the engine early in it's life, the vehicle is trouble free.)
I have the dealer change the engine oil & filter every 2,500 miles and since the vehicle was new, I have been using a fuel additive, (upper cylinder lubricant), than was recommended by a friend.
When I first purchased the vehicle I noticed that the engine sounded like a "coffee grinder!" ---- It did not have the smooth sound of a four cylinder Honda Accord at idle. ----- My friend suggested that I use a fuel additive in the gasoline on a regular basis, and after a while the engine became very quiet. ---- I am not here to advertise any product, and I do not want to get into a debate as to the need for these products. I am only sharing some information. ---- The two popular fuel additives that come to mind are "Lucas Upper Cylinder Lubricant" and "Marvel Mystery Oil." ---- (They are safe for Oxygen Sensors & Cat Converters) ----- LUCL is more expensive than MMO, but it does the same job! These products can be purchased at K-Mart, Walmart, Pep Boys. ----- I am NOT telling anyone to use these products, I am only stating that I use one of them, and my engine is quiet, and I DO NOT use any oil between oil and filter changes at 2,500 mile intervals. There are only a few possibilities with regards to the Chevrolet 2.4 engines. ---- 1.) The engines in the Malibu and in the Equinox are NOT the same engine. ---- 2.) My choice to do frequent oil and filter changes has eliminated a potential problem. ---- or ---- 3.) My choice to use an "upper cylinder lubricant" in the fuel at every "fill up" has solved a lubrication problem with this engine.
Again, I am not advocating the use of a fuel additive, and I do not work for or sell these products. I am only sharing information!
NOTE: ---- My selling / servicing dealer DOES NOT KNOW that I am using one of these products in the fuel.
Another line of very good products that could be used are BG / Products. Do a google search and you should be able to find a source for these products in your area. ---- They are NOT sold in auto stores, but rather they are sold at automotive service centers. They are NOT CHEAP! ---- I have use the BG / MOA in the oil of my 2007 V6 Camry since it was new. (It was recommended by the selling dealer because Toyota engines in the past were know for producing sludge!) ---- The vehicle now has 83,000 miles, gets an oil and filter change every 2,500 miles, and uses no oil. ----- (I also use the fuel additive in this vehicle!)
I trust that this information has been helpful!
All the best to everyone! :shades:
Hello Dwayn...I have maintained my vehicals the exact same way you do for last 20 plus years. I use lucas fuel additive every 4-5 K miles and chage oil at 3500 mile intervals; oil is real cheap insurance. I just traded my 2010 4cyl Nox for a 2013 3.6 V GMC Terrain and this new truck will get the same lucus fuel treat ment and 3500 mile oil changs. My 2010 Nox never stalled or let me down and any drive line warranty work was always backed up by GM Dealer.

Although you can tell by looking at nearly any Spanish word how it is pronounced, the reverse isn't always true. Because of the silent h and the existence of letter pairs that can sound alike, creating homophones, it is often possible to match more than one spelling with a particular sound.
This is especially true in the case of the b and v, which, except in a few types of nonstandard speech, share the same sounds. Native speakers frequently mix up the letters in their writing, and there are a few words (such as ceviche or cebiche, a type of seafood dish) that can be spelled with either letter. If you hear a word with the b/v sound, here is a guide to making an educated guess about which letter to use in spelling:
Most English cognates use the same letter as English does: Most of the cognates of Spanish and English are derived from Latin, and generally the use of b or v remains unchanged. Examples include botella (bottle), batalla (battle), avisar (to warn, related to "advise"), vocabulario (vocabulary), vibrar (vibrate), versátil (versatile) and vicio (vice). (Throughout this lesson, the definitions given aren't the only ones possible.) Exceptions: Among the words that don't follow this rule are verbs related to probar (to try, related to "probe"); words related to gobernar (to govern); some verbs ending in -bir such as recibir (to receive), concebir (to conceive) and percibir (to perceive); alcoba (bedroom, related to "alcove"); and haber (to have).
Words with prefixes: Although several much-used prefixes use a b, the only common prefix using a v is vice- (meaning "instead of"), as in vicepresidente (vice president) or vicecónsul (vice counsel). Prefixes using b include ab- (indicating negation or separation), bi- (two), sub- (under), bene- (good) and bio- (life). Examples of such words are bilingüe (bilingual), subordinar (to subordinate), abstinencia (abstinence), bendito (blessed) and biología (biology).
Suffixes: Common suffixes with a b include -bilidad and -ble, both of which suggest having a quality of some sort. Examples include culpabilidad (guilt), amabilidad (kindness), terrible (horrific) and amable (friendly). There are also -fobia, indicating a fear, such as with claustrofobia (fear of closed spaces) and entomofobia (fear of insects). The most common suffix with a v is -ivo, which indicates having a certain quality, such as in activo (active) and pasivo (passive).
With m and n: B can follow m and v can follow n, but the opposite is extremely rare. The sound of -mb- and -nv- are identical. Examples include envasador (packer), embajador (ambassador), enviar (to send), cambio (change), también (also), ambiente (environment), inversor (investor) and envidiar (to envy).
Preceding r and l: The b can come before either of these consonants, although v cannot. Examples include posible (possible), hablar (to speak), broma (joke), abrazo (embrace), abril (April) and obligar (to require).
In verb conjugations: Conjugations of the imperfect tense use a b, as in comprábamos (we were buying) and hablabas (you were speaking). Three verbs — andar (to walk), estar (to be) and tener — use a v in the preterite tense. Examples: anduve (I walked), estuviste (you were) and tuvieron (they had).
Quick exercise for review: To review this material, read the brief selection from the first chapter of Don Quijote de la Mancha by Miguel Cervantes on the following page and see how many times you can apply one of the above rules to the spellings of the words.

Win-Loss Predictions for Every NBA Team, Pre-Training Camp Edition
PG: Chris Paul, Darren Collison
SG: J.J. Redick, Jamal Crawford, Willie Green
SF: Jared Dudley, Matt Barnes, Reggie Bullock
PF: Blake Griffin, Antawn Jamison, Byron Mullens
C: DeAndre Jordan, Ryan Hollins
No team had a better offseason than the Los Angeles Clippers.
Not only did they re-sign Chris Paul to a big extension, but they upgraded the rest of the team rather significantly. Adding J.J. Redick and Jared Dudley will help shore up the three-point shooting, and Reggie Bullock should make a two-way impact off the bench during his rookie season.
Plus the backup power forwards will add some offensive punch, even if they don't provide much in the way of defense.
That's actually going to be the Clippers' biggest weakness: frontcourt defense. There's a lot of pressure on Blake Griffin to make more of an impact on that end of the court, especially because DeAndre Jordan, Ryan Hollins, Antawn Jamison and Byron Mullens all struggle to prevent points.
But that's workable in the regular season. It's not until the playoffs that it should truly come back to bite LAC, especially with Doc Rivers-the last big addition-on the bench.
Stein has them #1 in the west as well. I'm fired up.
Its a beautiful thing
Don't mean to be picky, but...
I think 60-22 would be just okay, I wouldn't complain, but last year we won 56 games! And should have won more, (like the Orl game).
Let's compare some upgrades & downgrades.
JJ Reddick >>>>> Willie Green (I love Willie but he wasn't a starter) >> Chauncey Billups (Bad year)
Jared Dudley >>> Caron Butler (Better outside shooting, defense & b-ball iq)
Darren Collison << Eric Bledsoe (Less upside & defense, but better PG skills and shooting)
Antwan Jamison < Lamar Odom (Less defense, way better scoring)
Byron Mullens >> Ronny Turiaf (Worse defense, way better scoring)
Reggie Bulluck (Is just a steal)
Doc Rivers >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Vinny Del Negro (From bottom 2 coach in the league to top 2 easily)
New Coaching staff >>>> Old staff (Alvin Gentry is 3 times smarter than our last head coach)
Plus any improvements that Blake & DJ make...
And all of that only equals a positive of 4 wins? Doesn't make much sense to me...
^What should matter is our results in the playoffs not our RS wins. I think we will win around 58-62 wins. Got to remember the league in general has also gotten better. In the West and East.
Spurs and Thunder are just as good as last season. GSWs and Houston improved. Timberwolves if healthy can be a pain. Griz are a bit better, etc.
In the East the Nets got better, the Pacers got better, the Bulls got better, etc.
^ Yeah... makes me wish we could beat up on the lakers more than 4 times a year.
I can see reggie bullock getting a lot of playing time because of the blowouts... I think there are gonna be a lot of blowouts this year.. especially with the improvement in our 3 point shooting... Also our defense "should" be better... I mean.. that is what a lot of our guys are focusing on. I haven't heard much from cp3 .. anyone know what he's been up to?
^ itrust that whatever he's doing, it's more important than any of us armchair analysts can dream up for him
I'm with CP3Heliflopter on this one, I mean hopefully we get a top seed in the playoffs. I actually don't like all the media praise and attention, I would like flying under the radar a little more. If we play up to par right away teams can really concentrate on how to beat us and have a formula by the end of the season; not saying that it will work but would rather teams not be scared of us until we get to the western conference finals where it could be to late for the other teams.

Searching for reasons to be cheerful in Sudan
Only the most foolhardy commentator would dare to say anything optimistic about the coming year in Sudan, four months away from highly charged elections and 12 months from an explosive referendum on southern independence.
So here goes — five reasons why Africa's largest country might just manage to reach January 2011 without a return to catastrophe and bloody civil war, despite the worst predictions of most pundits.
Often the cause of conflict, oil could end up helping to prevent it in Sudan. The country's oil industry, as it currently stands, only works when north and south Sudan work together. The south has most of the known oil reserves while the north has all of the infrastructure — from pipelines to refineries to a sea port. Talk of a southern refinery and an alternative pipeline route to the sea via Kenya are currently "pie in the sky", one diplomat told me.Both sides may choose to fight it out over contested border oilfields after the widely expected "yes" vote for southern independence, thereby disrupting oil flows and scaring off investors. But it would be much more profitable for all concerned to work out a revenue sharing scheme and live side by side as business partners. The south's government gets up to 98 percent of its revenues from oil sales so would struggle to survive without some kind of deal.
Read the rest on Reuters' Africa blog.

NORMAN — Jimmie Kile Morehead, 77, passed away Saturday, Oct. 13, 2012, in Norman.
Graveside services will be noon Friday at Resthaven Memory Gardens in Oklahoma City.
Jim was born June 9, 1935, in Oklahoma City to Neva Pauline Porter Morehead and Kile Marshal Morehead. Jim graduated from Capitol Hill High School in 1953 and attended the University of Oklahoma, where he was a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity and graduated with a BS in petroleum engineering in 1959.
He served the community as a Norman police officer before entering active duty in the U.S. Army. On April 15, 1961, he married his college sweetheart, Patricia Ann Maloney, to whom he was married 51 years.
Lt. Col. Morehead retired with more than 26 years combined active duty and Reserve experience. He is a graduate of the command and general staff college on the commandant's list as well as the honor graduate of combat intelligence officers course, nuclear weapons employment school, nuclear weapons assembly school and several others. His military decorations include three Meritorious Service Medals, Army Commendation Medal, Bronze Star, Air Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, Vietnam Cross of Gallantry with Palm, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Vietnam Civil Actions Medal, Vietnam Service Medal (four campaigns), two Armed Forces Reserve Medals, Army Service Ribbon, four Overseas Service Ribbons and Meritorious Unit Citation.
In 1984, he received a presidential appointment from President Reagan to organize and serve as the first chairman of the Oklahoma Vietnam Veterans Leadership Program — an endeavor which he found personally rewarding and which expanded into neighboring states of Kansas, Missouri, Akansas and Texas. He served as executive director of the Oklahoma Association of General Contractors until his retirement in 1997.
Jim was an avid sportsman and served as president of the Rod and Gun Club in Fort Leavenworth, Kan. He was an excellent trainer of hunting dogs and was active in wildlife and habitat conservation. He loved the great outdoors and was known to be so stealth that small animals climbed right up to him while he silently waited for deer to approach.

Did Britney Give Up Her Basic Rights? ...
Posted on Tue Oct 28, 2008 04:53 PM PDT
So what the heck is a conservatorship anyway? And what rights, exactly, is Britney giving up by agreeing to make her father's conservatorship over her estate permanent?
Well here are some of the basics, as outlined by the State of California:
Conservatee's (Britney's) rights include:
A conservatee does not lose all rights. They can still have a say in important decisions. They have the right to:
Be treated with understanding and respect; have their wishes considered; and be well cared for by the conservator.
In general, conservatees keep the right to:
- Control their own salary
- Make or change their will
- Get married
- Get mail
- Have a lawyer
- Ask a judge to change conservators
- Ask a judge to end the conservatorship
- Vote, unless a judge says they're not able to
- Control personal spending money if a judge says they can have an allowance
- Make their own health-care decisions, unless a judge gives that right to a conservator
Conservator's (Jamie Spears) duties:
When the court chooses you as a conservator (Jamie Spears), you are responsible to the court. You take on certain jobs and responsibilities. The court can examine everything you do as a conservator.
When the court chooses you as the conservator of a person, this means you:
- Arrange for the conservatee's care and protection; decide where the conservatee will live; and are in charge of: health care, food, clothes, personal care, housekeeping, transportation, and recreation.
- Figure out what the conservatee needs: You must figure out what the conservatee needs and how to meet those needs.
- Decide where the conservatee will live.
- You must tell the court every time the conservatee's address changes.
- You can't move the conservatee out of state.
- You can't put the conservatee in a mental health treatment facility.
- You are responsible for making sure that the conservatee's health-care needs are taken care of.
Do you think Britney really needs her father to have this much control over her life?
Discuss ...
Is Britney as we know her, over and done?

OPM promises fellows program will be better in 2013
- By Andrew Lapin
- May 1, 2012
- Leave a comment
When hundreds of aspiring young federal workers receive false acceptance letters from the government, something probably needs to be fixed -- and the Office of Personnel Management wants Congress to know something will be.
In an April 19 letter to Congress uncovered Tuesday by Federal News Radio, OPM Director John Berry outlined the government's plans to "burnish the prestige" of the recently maligned Presidential Management Fellows Program.
The letter, addressed to House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Oversight Subcommittee on the Federal Workforce, U.S. Postal Service and Labor Policy Chairman Dennis Ross, R-Fla., acknowledged the "unfortunate problems" OPM experienced in January when program acceptance emails were mistakenly sent to about 300 applicants. These were followed up by rejection emails less than 24 hours later, creating mass confusion and provoking the affected parties to flood the program's Facebook page.
Berry promised that program revisions would be in place in time for the 2013 recruitment cycle, including a revised application and assessment process, an updated online database of finalists and a new advisory council to "promote best practices between agencies." He added OPM was exploring the possibility of using senior government officials as in-person assessors for applicants, and he promised better support systems for data access, management and reporting, along with improved resources for program alumni.
Additionally, Berry provided more information that Issa and Ross requested in the March 1 letter to OPM.
In response to the Congressmen's inquiry about factors that could have affected candidates' abilities to apply for the program, Berry acknowledged "some complications" while stating OPM did not believe they prevented anyone from completing their program application. He added the agency identified the false acceptance letters "almost immediately."
The coordinators in charge of the fellows program are appointed on an agency level, not by OPM, Berry explained.
Far from giving up on the program, Berry pointed to its 84 percent retention rate over "a recent four-year period" as proof of its success. He also said the program had received no "formal complaints," which he defined as letters to the OPM director, ombudsman or any other agency official, between January 2009 and the present. "Informal complaints" received through social media sites "were addressed immediately and to the satisfaction of the candidates," Berry said.

The Pushcart Players bring the beloved Russian folk tale, "Peter and the Wolf" to life for two performances at the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas on Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013 at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. The performances are part of the second year of the Hylton Family Series, which encourages parents and children to enjoy and experience the arts together.
Set to music by celebrated composer Sergei Prokofiev, "Peter and the Wolf" tells the story of Peter, a young boy visiting his grandfather's cozy cottage in the Russian countryside. Despite his grandfather's warnings, Peter dares to venture into the meadow where a dangerous wolf lurks in the nearby woods. When the wolf swallows Peter's beloved duck, Clara, whole, the brave and clever young boy is determined to capture the fierce creature and save his friend. This classic tale offers an introduction for children into the world of music, with a different instrument and melody representing each character in the story.
For more than 30 years, The Pushcart Players have presented productions for children, ranging from fairy tales to historical plays. This Emmy-nominated ensemble has performed for audiences across the globe, even at the White House. The company is proud of its commitment to arts education and all of the company's cast members are experienced teachers who provide innovative workshops, acting classes and residency programs to schools and communities at home and abroad.

CONNEAUT — A Conneaut councilman has asked state officials to help relieve the Conneaut Police Department of perimeter patrol duties at the Lake Erie Correctional Institution.
Councilman-at-Large Neil LaRusch, in a letter sent to Gov. John Kasich's northeast Ohio liaison, said he was alarmed by a recent increase in attempts to smuggle contraband into the privately owned prison. The crimes have prompted city police to shoulder more prison security work than anticipated when the state prison was sold to Corrections Corporation of America one year ago, he said.
"With the city of Conneaut Police Department already financially strapped and below what I would consider to be acceptable levels, what assistance can the state lend us to deal with this situation?" LaRusch wrote. "The city is not financially in a position to add more officers to deal with this private prison. With this situation getting out of hand at this pace, what can the governor propose to assure the safety and security of the citizens of Conneaut?"
At issue is a rash of attempts to throw drugs, tobacco and other prohibited items over the prison's north fence. Since the end of 2012, four people have already been arrested and charged with the offense. Another four were arrested this week on unrelated charges but police suspect they came to town for a prison smuggling job.
LaRusch said the issue of perimeter patrols was discussed and resolved in 2011, when the city police department feared it would have to investigate felony-level crimes that occur at the prison once it became private property. The Ohio State HIghway Patrol handles that task, just as it does at state-owned prisons.
"In the past, (perimeter patrol has been) done by the (OHP), as well as the city of Conneaut police department," LaRusch wrote. "It seems recently (almost exclusively since the sale to CCA) there has been a drastic rise in criminal activity around the site and an equal drop in the presence of the OHP."

Calendula Officinalis. Pot Marigold is an annual that reaches nearly two feet in height. It blooms throughout the summer displaying flowers that are 1 ½" to 2" across and orange to yellow in color. They can grow in any ordinary garden soil and they prefer full sun.
Sow seeds where plants are to grow and germination will occur in one to two weeks. In colonial times, Pot Marigolds were used to flavor stews and soups, hence the name. They were also used for coloring and, apothecaries used the whole plant to make a soothing ointment for skin wounds and ulcers.
Pot Marigolds were first grown in England in 1573 and by 1600 were growing in Virginia gardens.
Heirloom seeds are collected, cleaned and packaged by hand at Mount Vernon.

The entertainment awards season has dawned.
It's the time of year to watch a myriad of organizations bestow accolades upon those people who take part in the noblest of all professions — act like somebody else.
That's right, everyone. It's time to honor those people who do the best job of pretending that they are someone other than who they really are.
So yeah, acting awards are pointless in the view of the old Couch Potato, but there is something intoxicating about the beauty and artistry that is put on display at these shows. While I find it weird that we put actors on such a pedestal, I do understand that these are the people who inspire us, make us cry and in the best case, make us laugh.
There's at least some nobility in the talent to make people laugh.
To that end, there was a bit of a shocker at the Golden Globes, which were hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. I got to see bits and pieces of their hosting, and I will have to admit it was pretty funny.
But getting back to the shocker. A Couch Potato favorite was able to take home two awards, even though the show has managed to air only 12 episodes in its lifespan. The show is "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" and it runs each Tuesday night at 8:30 on Fox.
Surprisingly, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" won for Best Television Comedy and star Andy Samberg, who plays Detective Jake Paralta, won for Best Performance in a Television Series for Comedy.
Awards aside, I'm proud to say that the Couch Potato has been on this show since the beginning. "Saturday Night Live" alum Samberg has always been funny in a young Adam Sandler kind of copycat way, but the show also had other things going for it.
Creators Michael Schur and Daniel Goor cut their teeth on some of the best comedies television has offered in the past few years. This is the list that either one, or both, of these men has written for: "The Office," "Parks and Recreation," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," "Saturday Night Live," and a former Couch Potato blog subject that was completely underappreciated in its time, "The Comeback."
That is a murderer's row of television comedy, so there was no reason to not give "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" a try this fall.
The Couch Potato has been rewarded by a show that includes the subtleties of "The Office" and "Parks and Recreation," but also the bombastic nature of "Saturday Night Live," and "Conan." The show smartly follows in the footsteps of "The Comeback" and other single camera shows by giving it a "reality" feel, otherwise known as "mockumentary" television.
Samberg has shined playing a petty, immature (basically himself) detective working in Brooklyn along side his co-workers who are narcissistic and incompetent, but funny nonetheless.
The show is able to blend comedy and absurdist plots with enough drama and high stakes situations to draw the viewer in. You won't be disappointed by the thoughtfulness and cleverness that goes into each episode as the producers have done well to create a show that plays out like a serialized drama, but in a comedic way. Episodes are contained, though some aspects of the show are threaded through each week.
So even if award shows can be petty and capricious, they at least did get one right with "Brooklyn Nine-Nine."
You owe it to yourself to check out an episode and revel in Samberg's ability to act like someone else for a half hour each week.

Tonight, those guys will start the last three regular season home games, and they'll host the red-hot OKC Barons at Toyota Center. After tonight, the Aeros will welcome the San Antonio Rampage Thursday and Saturday. Then, the team will take a week off before closing out the regular season with three road games in three nights in three different cities.
|Aeros host the Barons tonight at Toyota Center (7:05)
Huge game for both teams. If the Aeros win, they'll have a four-point cushion. Lose, and the Barons will have the tie-breaker both in terms of winning percentage and ROW (regulation and overtime wins). The Aeros' magic number to clinch a playoff berth for the 16th time in 19 seasons is 10. That number goes down by two every time the Aeros win. It also goes down by two every time the team currently in ninth loses.
Based on that, Aeros fans are really pulling for the Peoria Rivermen tonight, who host the Rockford Icehogs at Carver Arena.
Tonight is a playoff game, and both teams will go hard for 60 minutes and hope for the two-point reward. These last three regular season games will be fun to watch; this is the time of year where the intensity is up and the proverbial emotions run high.
John Torchetti will have the boys ready for tonight. How will they execute under pressure?
Here is some more news on the Barons via the Houston Aeros press office:
The Oklahoma City Barons –
When the NHL lockout ended, Oklahoma City lost six of the team's top sevens scorers to the NHL's Edmonton Oilers. In all Jordan Eberle, Justin Schultz, Taylor Hall, Teemu Hartikainen, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Magnus Paajarvi are all gone. The team is 17-12-3-2 since their departure. Despite not playing for the Barons since Jan. 5, Jordan Eberle and Justin Schultz remain among the AHL leaders in points. Eberle had 51, while Schultz, a defenseman, collected 48. Eberle led the league with 25 goals until Providence's Jamie Tardif surpassed him in late February. Schultz had 30 AHL assists, which remains among the highest in the league.
Mark Arcobello is the team's active leading scorer with 20 goals and 41 assists for 61 points in 67 games played. He is followed by rookie Toni Rajala, who has 13 goals and 23 assists for 36 points in 39 games played. He has five assists and eight points in his last seven games played. Left wing Teemu Hartikainen is third on the team in scoring, scoring 14 goals and toaling 35 points in 44 games played. Forward Philippe Cornet has four points in in his last seven games. Cornet is fourth overall in team scoring with 13 goals and 14 assists for 27 points in 39 games played. Since joining the team in late January, Jonathan Cheecoo has 26 points in 29 games with the Barons this season. The veteran winger has three points in his last seven games played. Defenseman Martin Marincin is sixth on the team with 25 points in 64 games played. Center Josh Green has 23 points in 47 games played this season.
Oklahoma City features goalies Yann Danis and Niko Hovinen in net. Danis is 22-14-5 with a 2.79 goals against average and a .906 save percentage. Fellow goalie Niko Hovinen is 4-3-2 with a 3.26 g.a.a. and a .884 save percentage. At 6-foot-7, he is one of the tallest goalies in pro hockey.
The Barons rank first in the AHL on the power play converting 61 out of 286 chances (21.3 %). As far the penalty kill goes, Oklahoma City sits 30 out of 30 teams, stopping 219 of 283 attempts (78.1 %). The Barons rank 20th out of 30 teams in penalty minutes, averaging just 14.9 minutes a game. Oklahoma City is averaging 3.16 goals per game, while allowing 3.17 goals per game.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — LANSING (AP) — A Michigan lawmaker wants to restrict the use of children in police drug stings after authorities in suburban Detroit used a 14-year-old boy to help bust a suspected drug dealer.
State Sen. Mike Kowall of Oakland County's, R-White Lake Township, told the Detroit Free Press that he's crafting legislation to address the use of juveniles as confidential informants.
"I was a little taken aback," Kowall said of learning details of the March 15 sting. "We have to be careful that we don't put minors into situations that violence is imminent."
Some other states have similar laws. Draft legislation could be ready this month.
The legislation comes after police said they made the right decision to use the boy in the sting. The sting came to light after a parolee was arrested for trying to sell marijuana in a Lake Orion park. The child's participation has been criticized by prosecutors handling the case as being potentially dangerous.
Edward Watkins is charged with selling drugs to a person under the age of 18, a felony punishable by up to 8 years in prison. Watkins' criminal history dates to at least 1992, with convictions for larceny, assault with a dangerous weapon and receiving and concealing a stolen motor vehicle.
The case against Watkins, 36, is pending in Oakland County Circuit Court. His lawyer Tiffany McEvans said the 14-year-old called Watkins before the meeting that led to the arrest.
"It wasn't a situation as they're making it out to be that he was just targeting this young man," McEvans said. "It clearly appears that my client was set up."
Lake Orion Police Chief Jerry Narsh said the 14-year-old also had a friend with him, but he wasn't told whether the other boy participated in the sting. Narsh has said Watkins was a father figure to a friend of the 14-year-old and had been pressuring the 14-year-old to buy marijuana.
"This is not a normal narcotics investigation," Narsh said.
Kowall said he wants to set a minimum age of 13 for all confidential informants, although he called that age a starting point and said it doesn't indicate his approval of using children that young. He also wants to require parental approval in cases involving children.
"I just don't think a child ... has the mental capacity to realize what they're getting themselves into," Kowall said.
Robert Stevenson, president of the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police, said any regulations would need to be reasonable.
"I don't know that most police agencies would have a problem with some type of guidelines, but we'd have to see what it is," Stevenson said.

The following is an open Manchester resident Kristen Gordon sent to town and Board of Education officials on Wednesday, Feb. 13 2013 and posted on the Manchester Patch Facebook page:
Dear Mr. Kisiel et al.,
I am writing to you as a concerned parent. I have two children that attend Manchester public schools. I am absolutely confounded by the decision of your office to open schools today considering the current condition of most sidewalks and streets in the town.
The pictures I have attached were taken this morning at the bus stop. There are several students who use this bus stop [address removed]. As you can see, [address removed] has not cleared any part of the sidewalk, posing a very serious threat to the safety of these children. Please keep in mind that due to the amount of snow on the side of the roads, parents can not safely park on the street to wait for the bus.
I contacted your office yesterday afternoon with concern about the bus stop not being cleared and I was told that the town was working on making sure all bus stops were cleared and safe. I contacted the Manchester Police Department last night with my concern and I was told that they are allowing for leniency due to the amount of snow that must be removed. An officer was sent to speak with the homeowner, however, I was surprised when the supervisor I spoke with suggested that I keep my children home, or drop them off at school.
I am very understanding of the situation the town is in due to Winter Storm Nemo, but I must say that opening the schools when a great part of the student population is unable to safely get to and from school is reckless. Is the Town of Manchester/Board of Education willing to step up and accept responsibility if a student is injured, or God forbid, killed because of this hasty decision to have school back in session?
At the very least, I expect that if Manchester schools are to remain open for the remainder of the week, the town will ensure that all students have either a safe way to walk or get on the bus. I appreciate your prompt attention to this issue.

Those pictures of Island Pond bring back some fond memories. Just prior to moving to Greenfield Park with my grandparents. I travelled by train to there and back on a Friday with my grandfather. He worked as a baggage handler for the American Express his route would be from Montreal to Portland Main. He would leave Monday and return on Tuesday. Leave Wednesday return Thursday on Friday he would just go as far as Island Pond and back home. At the time we lived in Verdun. He purchased our home on Murray just before he retired. When we moved to Greenfield Park in 1950 it was a small town and everyone knew each other. The address was 23 Murray Avenue and later changed to 201 Murray. His name was David Barley and some of his Grandchildren still live in Greenfield Park. One of his grandsons you knew that was Douglas Barley he still lives in Quebec in the Lachute Area called Lake Louisa. I believe he hung around with you and Teddy Charles. There were a few residents moved to Greenfield Park from Verdun and Point St Charles. If not mistaken I believe Charlie Menary went to Rushbrooke School in Verdun and later moved to Greenfield Park. I think the Tomalty family came from the Point St Charles area.

David Millar (just signed for Slipstream) ought to be absolutely furious with Iban Mayo.
On the first day in the Pyrenees, Millar and David De La Fuente of the Saunier-Duval team drove the peloton over the Port de Pailheres at a crazy pace, in the hope that team-leader Mayo could do something on the way up to the stage-finish at Plateau de Beille. But he couldn't, and lost nearly ten minutes on the final climb. And now we learn he was on drugs too.
Mayo had a terrible tour, finishing 16th at 27'09″. I thought the drugs were supposed to prevent that kind of thing.
What are you reading this Summer, Stoa-readers? What, if anything, do you recommend? Tell me about books (though preferably not about Harry Potter books, unless you've got something especially interesting to say about them).
This is all terribly, terribly funny. First we have Johann Hari writing about Nick Cohen's not especially good recent book What's Left? in Dissent here (with bloggers' responses here, here, here, here and here). Then we get NC's reply to JH here and JH's reply to NC's reply to JH here, with today's blog discussion over here [update: subsequently removed].
I want this one to run and run.
TUESDAY UPDATE: Oliver Kamm weighs in, again; AaroWatch has an Ode to Kamm [update: subsequently removed]; and JH has added bits and pieces to his reply to the reply [update: and some of the bits and pieces have been, er, subsequently removed].
WEDNESDAY UPDATE: Indecent Left, Conor Foley, Chris Bertram, Blood & Treasure.
I don't think I'll try to become a professional sports photographer any time soon. But here are three images from this afternoon's racing, anyway.
Quite by chance I seem to have got Alberto Contador in the middle of this pic, on the second half of the first circuit of the Champs-Élysées, flanked by the rest of his Discovery Channel team.
Here comes the peloton!

BOISE -- The Boise State men's basketball team will face the Mavericks of the University of Texas at Arlington Friday at 8 p.m. MST at Taco Bell Arena.
This game marks the home opener for the 2013-2014 basketball season, and the Broncos are coming off a 80-52 win over Lewis-Clark State College in an exhibition game.
For the 2012-2013 season, the Broncos went 21-11 overall and lost to La Salle University 80-71 in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Back in October, the Broncos were picked to finish in a tie for 2nd place with University of Nevada Las Vegas in the Mountain West Conference Preseason Media Poll. The University of New Mexico was picked to finish first.
This also marks the start of Coach Leon Rice's fourth season as Boise State's head coach. Since starting, he's seen steady growth in the pgoram, and it's a trend he is focused on continuing.
"You know it's hard to believe it's the fourth season already, it goes by so quick. You always say that, but then when you live it, it's wow that happened quickly. So you know your hopes are up for the season, and you built a lot to get to this point," said Rice.
Tickets for Friday's game start at $11.75 for adults, and it also includes a ticket to the women's basketball game against Southern Utah which will tip off prior to the men's game at 5:30 p.m.
Boise State Transportation and Parking Services will offer game day parking in the East Stadium lot and the Lincoln Avenue Garage for $5 per space. A shuttle will be provided from the Lincoln Ave. Garage, to shuttle fans to and from the game starting one hour prior to the game, and immediately following the end of the game.

The 25 Highest Rated Sports Talk Stations in the United States
But which sports talk stations are the most popular in the nation?
We used to have no idea.
Because unlike in television where ratings are released instantly, radio ratings are hard to find. They only come out monthly and the public data from Arbitron is scant.
These ratings are the broadest possible measuring device -- the only numbers that are public from Arbirtron. These ratings measure from six in the morning to midnight, persons ages six plus. This doesn't tell you which individual shows are the highest rated and it also doesn't tell you how many people are listening to each station.
All this metric does is tell us which sports stations dominate their local markets the most and which are the highest rated sports talk stations in the nation for the month of October 2012. (Again, it does not measure the number of listeners since the size of the market dictates how many listeners you can receive.)
Without further ado, here are the top 25 highest rated sports talk stations in the nation:
1. Detroit WXVT 8.9
This is a massive, massive number that reflects how engaged the city of Detroit was to the Tigers world series run. It also reflects how dominant WXVT is in Detroit.
2. Nashville WGFX 6.8
Nashville's 104.5 the Zone is a consistently high ranking station as well, frequently owning the top slot in the nation itself as it did the last time we took a look at these ratings in March of 2012. It dominates all competition, producing a 7 to 1 ratings advantage over the next closest station in the market.
3. San Francisco KNBR 6.1
The final of the massive number trio, after here there's a good drop off into high ratings.
4. Minneapolis KFXN 4.8
5. Boston WBZ 4.6
6. Seattle KIRO 4.1
7. Providence WVEI 4.0
8. Philadelphia WIP 3.9
9. Baltimore WJZ 3.7
9. Pittsburgh KDKA 3.7
9. Raleigh WCMC 3.7
None of these top 11 stations have competitors that are remotely close in ratings.
12. St. Louis WXOS 3.4
13. New York City WFAN 3.2
The sports talk radio station that began it all, WFAN is a ratings behemoth in New York City and surrounding areas.
13. Memphis WMFS 3.2
15. Chicago WSCR 3.1
16. Dallas KTCK 3.0
17. Cleveland WKRK 2.9
18. Boston WEEI 2.8
It's fair to call Boston the most competitive sports talk radio market in the country. But note that even if you combine the two Boston stations they still just equal Nashville. And are still well behind the numbers posted by Detroit, which are just otherworldly.
18. Phoenix KTAR 2.8
20. Tampa WDAE 2.7
20. Sacaramento KCTC 2.7
22. Dallas KESN 2.6
It's also fair to call Dallas the second most competitive sports talk radio market in the country.
23. Portland KXTG 2.5
24. Norfolk, Va. WVSP 2.4
25. Kansas City KCSP 2.3
If your station was not included here it means it either isn't in one of the 52 largest markets in the country or it didn't receive higher than a 2.3 rating according to the latest Arbitron ratings.

text: Henry is as naughty as he is cute. He is very playful and very loving, as is typical of a Cavalier. One of his favorite times of the day is breakfast and he and Oliver sit nicely and wait for Mummy to feed them their breakfast treats. After that, he thoroughly enjoys a lovely morning nap. That gives him the energy he needs to create mayhem for the remainder of the day. The other most favorite time of day for Henry is when his brothers come home from school. He behaves as though he has not seen them in years, dancing and twirling until he is satisfied that he has been hugged enough.

Brook Lopez has been diagnosed with a stress fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot, New Jersey Nets GM Billy King announced Thursday. Lopez will undergo surgery Friday, two days after suffering the injury in the first half of Wednesday's preseason game against the New York Knicks. No timetable has been announced for return, though with surgery scheduled a long layoff would not be surprising.
The third-year center is one of the more promising young players in the league at his position. Lopez averaged over 20 points and six rebounds while playing 35 minutes per game last season for the Nets. He put up 15 points and nine rebounds Wednesday, but committed six turnovers before leaving the game with foul trouble.
With Lopez out, the Nets are currently left with Jordan Williams, a rookie, and Shelden Williams, he of 15 minutes per game in 2010, to pick up the slack.
For more on the impact of Lopez' injury, head over to the SB Nation blog NetsDaily.

The effort to replace former Nampa School District Superintendent Tom Michaelson, whose proposed spending cuts received tepid support and led to his resignation in May, is gaining traction.
The district announced Wednesday the formation of a 16-person search committee tasked with recruiting the school system's next leader. A news release from the district states the committee was appointed Tuesday by the school board, but it also indicates the group already has held two organizational meetings.
The search committee will be led by Dr. Richard Hagood, former president of Northwest Nazarene University, and Molly Lenty, a vice president and manager of community relations at Wells Fargo. She also is the founder of Community for Nampa Schools.
Michaelson was hired in 2012 to help clean up the district's financial mess, which included a $5.1 million deficit. With a record of restoring financial stability in two California districts before moving to Nampa to retire, Michaelson spearheaded some painful cuts in Nampa. He won approval to close Sunny Ridge Elementary School, pushed to outsource the district's janitorial service, reduced some busing and cut 4.5 administrators.
But he met board resistance with his teacher reduction plan that would have saved $2.5 million. The plan was backed by a committee of residents, community leaders and district officials working to solve Nampa's money woes. Some board members disagreed, and Michaelson offered his resignation during a May school board meeting. The board appointed Pete Koehler, principal at Nampa High School and chief education officer over a cluster of middle, elementary and preschools in the Nampa High area, as interim superintendent.
Now the search for a permanent replacement heats up. The committee meets again Oct. 22. The meetings are open to the public. For a schedule, check the district's website.
I appreciate the committee members' commitment to our district and for involving and engaging the community in this process to identify and select our next superintendent, said Daren Coon, chairman of the Nampa Board of Trustees.
The remainder of the search committee:
Kelly Gibbons, College of Western Idaho Foundation interim director
Dennis Keck, West Middle School music teacher and Nampa Education Association community relations officer
Jacqueline Harrison, Nampa High School bookkeeper
Anne-Marie Henning, Micron Foundation accountant
Greg Heideman, Lone Star Middle School principal
Jaimee Hoesing, Centennial Elementary School kindergarten teacher and Nampa Education Association president
Debbie Kling, Nampa Chamber of Commerce president and CEO
Dr. Brian McGourty, Nampa Board of Trustees and Nampa optometrist
Bob Otten, Nampa Board of Trustees and retired elementary teacher
Kristin Pancheri, family trucking and farming business manager
Gregg Russell, Reagan Elementary School principal
Dr. Al Sanchez, professor at Northwest Nazarene University
Bobby Sanchez, assistant to the Mayor of Nampa
Cory Woolstenhulme, Columbia High School principal

TAMPA, Fla., May 12, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- AACSB International (AACSB) announces today that seventeen academic institutions have earned accreditation in business. Founded in 1916, AACSB is the longest serving global accrediting body for business schools that offer undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degrees in business and accounting.
By achieving this hallmark of excellence, BI Norwegian Business School (Norway), Black Hills State University (United States), Dominican University (United States), École de Management de Normandie (France), ESSCA École de Management (France), Frankfurt School of Finance and Management (Germany), Groupe ESC Dijon Bourgogne (France), National Yunlin University of Science and Technology (Chinese Taipei), Northumbria University (United Kingdom), Oklahoma City University (United States), Saint Xavier University (United States), SolBridge International School of Business (South Korea), Texas Wesleyan University (United States), Universitas Gadjah Mada (Indonesia), University of Birmingham (United Kingdom), University of Edinburgh (United Kingdom) and Woodbury University (United States) join an elite group that makes up less than five percent of the world's business schools.
Today, there are 711 institutions across 47 countries and territories that have earned AACSB Accreditation. Now, through the most recent ratifications, students in Norway and Indonesia can pursue a business degree for the first time in their home country at an AACSB-accredited business school. Similarly, 180 institutions hold an additional specialized AACSB Accreditation for their accounting programs.
"AACSB is pleased to congratulate the newly accredited institutions," said Robert D. Reid, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB International. "We commend each for their exemplary work, and are excited to add two more countries to the worldwide roster of AACSB-accredited business schools."
Achieving accreditation is a process of rigorous internal review, evaluation, and improvement, and can take multiple years to complete. During these years, the school develops and implements a plan to align with AACSB's Accreditation standards which require a high quality teaching environment, innovative programming, and active engagement with industry.
"In today's complex world, it takes a great deal of determination to earn AACSB Accreditation," said Reid. "Schools must not only meet specific standards of excellence, but all parties involved-deans, heads of business units, academic and non-academic staff-must make the commitment to ongoing improvement to ensure that the institution will continue to deliver the highest quality of education to every student."

Does anyone know the story of how the Lions dealt with Nathan Vasher ? The reason I ask is that I wonder if he couldn't be of service for us now, at least until one or more of the rookie CB's we drafted are ready.
Vasher is only 30 years old. He has scads of quality NFL experience and 20 interceptions. He was having injury trouble in '08 and '09, however the Lions picked him up in early 2010 and he was a major component of the late season 4 game winning streak that year. I remember him making a number of veteran plays that helped us win those 4 games. He was a physical tackler. I don't recall him getting toasted on any play. The Lions then re-signed him for 2011. He apparently had a great camp last year but was cut on September 3rd, 2011.
Now Eric Wright and Aaron Berry are off of the roster from 2011. Greenwood is on PUP and has only DIV III experience coming in. Phonz is a gambler who doesn't seem to have the "mistake-free" game, yet, that Vasher had. I'm just wondering if he wouldn't be a piece of the puzzle for us still. He's only 30 and if he's healthy ?
As far as I know he's waiting for a phone call. The thinking on him is that he is past his prime. Maybe so. But he looked good for us in late 2010 and in camp last year. I'm just thinking that until these rookies show up and look ready to play Vasher could help us.

The Blitz with Jeff Howe & Karen Guregian
Tom Brady, Bill Belichick in same Pebble Beach foursome
Even when they travel to the West Coast, Tom Brady and Bill Belichick can't quit each other.
They're playing in the same foursome during this week's Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and they tee off tomorrow at Spyglass at 11:22 a.m. ET., according to Golf Week.
Belichick is paired with local golfing icon James Driscoll, who grew up in Brookline, Mass. and has won the Charles River Club Championship, the Massachusetts Junior Championship and the Massachusetts Amateur Championship. Driscoll was paired with Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly in Belichick's foursome last year, so he is familiar with the Patriots coach.
Brady is playing with Ricky Barnes this weekend, which is interesting because Belichick played with Barnes the last two years.
Brady's teammates know him as a pretty solid golfer with an intensely competitive spirit (if you can believe it), so the competition between him and Belichick will be something else this week.

Most mothers can tell you that nothing gets their milk flowing, however, like thinking about their baby or hearing their baby's hunger cry or that special sound they make while rooting for the nipple. I know that for myself, even after my son was finished with breast-feeding, other babies' cries would give me that tingly sensation and sometimes I would even leak milk.
For some moms, a cry alone just won't do it. Those who travel frequently or who have babies in the NICU often carry a picture of their baby to look at while pumping and find that this works.
If you have access to an iPod or other MP3 player, you can use the power of technology to help stimulate your milk ejection reflex. You can use your computer's sound recorder or use a free program available on the Internet (my personal favorite is Audacity and it's available for Macs, Windows and Linux) to catch a few moments of your baby's sounds. Save the file as an MP3 and then transfer to your MP3 player or phone. If you are using a video iPod, you can use iTunes to drag "album artwork" to your file, which could be a picture of your baby. Other programs offer this ability as well.
When you're ready to pump, pop on your headphones and set your file to play in a loop, relax and wait for your milk to start flowing. Don't forget to load up whatever music soothes and relaxes you or maybe special music that you share with your baby for the rest of your pumping session.
More Information:
- Setting up a File is a lot like Creating a Podcast
- Find the Right MP3 Player for You
- More Tips for Pumping Breast Milk
And of course, if you don't have an MP3 player, you can always do it the old fashioned way -- with a portable digital or tape recorder.

In 1875, a young Czech immigrant named Joseph Bulova set up shop in New York City, and a legendary American watch brand was born. Bulova was trained as a jeweler, and his expertise carried over into his watch making career, which began around 1911 with boudoir clocks and pocket watches, and soon evolved to include what was then one of the latest and most fashionable technological innovations: the wristwatch. Bulova introduced its first line of wristwatches in 1919.
The company grew and prospered, and soon early radio and television ads were declaring, "America runs on Bulova time." In the 1950s, continuing its legacy of innovation, Bulova introduced Accutron, the first electronic watch, and the first breakthrough in timekeeping technology in over 300 years. The Accutron timing mechanism was later adapted for use by NASA computers and a Bulova timer was even placed on the moon to control transmissions of data. Bulova timepieces have kept official time aboard Air Force One and have also served as official timepieces for U.S. Olympic teams. Today, Bulova maintains its tradition of excellence in technology and design, offering a diverse collection of beautiful precision timepieces for every occasion.
Bulova timepieces use only the finest materials, precision craftsmanship and state-of-the-art technology for enduring quality and performance. At the heart of each Bulova watch is precision accuracy. From the finest quartz movements to alternative technologies such as solar or mechanical energy, each Bulova watch is guaranteed to be accurate to within one minute a year. Every Bulova is anti-magnetic, shock-resistant, and features our unique distortion-free and scratch-resistant Dura-Crystal. Bulova uses only the finest materials for its bracelets and straps. Many of Bulova's bracelets are solid stainless steel. Some are plated with Bulova's unique 23-karat hard gold process, which is tempered to give an extra durable finish. Other bracelets are ion plated with a patented gold process for an ultra-resilient finish. The straps are made from the finest leathers to resist wear and maintain their elegant look.

Nomination for Best Cuban Sandwich - Gustazo Belmont
Had one yesterday. Have to nominate this for best Cubano in Boston.
While I love the one at Chez Henri, it really is too meaty (oxymoron I know).
For starters the roast pork was clearly house made and super flavorful.
A proper cubano should honestly not be PILED with meat, that is just not correct.
It is all about balance between the pork, the ham, the cheese, the bread, the pickles.
Seriously, this was a PERFECT cubano. They also knocked the price down to $9.99 at lunch which is a bit more palatable. It comes with a nice bag of house made thin crispy plantain chips which were perfectly executed as well. I prefer the beefier chewy tostones, but these were spot on.
The resto itself is really a gorgeous little gem of a place and the staff is very earnest and tries very hard to please.
Next up I have to try their ropa vieja and the garbanzos and chorizo, two of my all time favorite dishes.
289 Belmont Street
Belmont MA 02478
Phone: (855) 487-8296
Chez Henri
1 Shepard Street, Cambridge, MA 02138
Another Cuban, the new best (for me): Picco has added one to their menu in the last week, and it's delicious. The pork is really smoky (in a good way, but almost overwhelming) on account of the oven, great pickles, it's sour / salty / spicy / smoky on a good baguette. Well worth the $11.
505 Tremont St, Boston, MA 02116
The Cubano was really nice but at $9.95 way to expensive. The chips was mixed, some crisp and some less so. For that price a soup would have been nice. Gorgeous place and nice staff. I will be back and try more lunch specials even if they are a bit expensive.
re: Ferrari328
re: StriperGuy
re: Bob Dobalina
Eh... a block away is Watertown.
I've eaten at Gustazo - nice sandwich, generic Stop and Shop mesclun salad. As "hounda" mentions, "no leftovers" - portion size is very controlled. $9? Nope, I won't be adding it to the rotation, until or unless they add a lunch special or two for those of us born without the silver spoon.
Fine for the "Ladies who lunch" crowd, ala Sofra.
1 Belmont St, Cambridge, MA 02138
Finally made it here.
I agree with Striper: best Cuban sandwich in the area. It trounces El Oriental de Cuba. (Chez Henri really is its own animal.) Perfect bread, awesome pork element.
Is it overpriced by a buck or so? Perhaps. But for this level of quality, I'm certainly not going to keep it out of my rotation for $1. That's just silly. Plus it comes with plaintain chips. I'm pretty sure the Sofra sandwiches come with nothing.
Purists will have to ask for them to make it w/o mayo.
EDIT: One thing I'll give El Oriental is that I think they did a better press job. I'm used to my Cuban sandwiches being more slender. Not a good or bad thing, necessarily. Just what I'm used to as an "ideal".
Gustazo Cuban Cafe
289 Belmont St.,, Belmont, MA 02478
My wife and I had dinner there last night... didn't have the Cuban, but the empanada was tasty, my ropa vieja had great flavors, rice was well made, and service was friendly and attentive. Its definitely worth Round 2 - maybe I can find a lunch reason to be there, to try a sandwich.
A friend and I had lunch here last Saturday. Striper's right - this is the best Cuban sandwich. Also, I didn't realize it would come with a huge pile of plaintains so had ordered the Yuca Frites appetizer, which was incredibly delicious. Fat fingers of Yuca fried to a perfect crispness while remaining creamy on the inside. I ate so many of those I could only eat half of my Cuban, and brought the other half home. I normally wouldn't do this, but I reheated that half in the microwave for brunch on Sunday, and was amazed at how good the sandwich still tasted after being reheated so inappropriately.
My DC had a chicken empanada to start and the Ropa Vieja sandwich, which came with what seemed to be home made potato chips. All delicious as well.
Oh! I almost forgot - the first thing I ordered was a Cafe con Leche. It was a dreary chilly day, and I needed something to warm up. The drink was delicious as well. It reminded me of the incredible Cafe con Leche I used to get at Iruna in Harvard Square. I can't wait to back for another one, and to try more of the menu.
I got the cubano as takeout the other night and agree that it is excellent. It held up well to a thirty minute or so wait. The tortilla espanola is also delicious. It was served hot, which is something I'm not used to, but the flavor and texture were excellent.
My son enjoyed his roasted eggplant and fried fresh cheese vegetarian entree. The eggplant was a garlicky puree, almost too garlicky for me. It came with a simple, light butternut squash bisque that I thought could have used a little more seasoning but he liked. The tostones were well-fried and not greasy.
We'll return to try other things on the menu.

SEATTLE - A citizens' group called the League of Education Voters says Washington state deserves a C-minus average for the way it educates students.
The report card released this week shows the state is losing ground in some areas, including college and career preparation, and student achievement in math, science and engineering.
The report also points out that Washington is one of nine states where the achievement gap between children of different races is growing.
Officials of the education advocacy group say the state needs a stronger commitment to adequately pay for education in Washington and improve the quality of the state's education system.
The group is sending copies of the report to parents, educators and policy makers during the first week of the 2011 Legislature.
