Chrysler is raising the roof on the convertible segment, introducing the all-new 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible. This completely redesigned Sebring Convertible is built on the company's new D-segment platform and offers what no other convertible on the road can offer: Chrysler's sleek and elegant design, exhilarating performance with excellent fuel efficiency, a spacious interior that comfortably sits four adults and enough room in the trunk to hold two golf bags, even when the top is dropped.
The all-new 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible also offers what no other convertible has offered before — three automatically latching convertible top options: vinyl, cloth and a first for this new 2008 Sebring Convertible, a body-color painted steel retractable hard top, all of which can be retracted with a push of a button on the key fob. Top that with a standard power hard tonneau cover on all models, and top up or down, Sebring Convertible provides the benefits of coupe and the true open-air freedom of a convertible, all at a surprisingly affordable price.
"America's favorite convertible is now better than ever," said George Murphy, Senior Vice President – Global Marketing, Chrysler Group. "The all-new Chrysler Sebring Convertible offers the unprecedented combination of unmistakable road presence, athletic handling, innovative technologies, as well as plenty of room for people and gear. In fact, the all-new Sebring Convertible is the only convertible in the segment that can pass the two-golf-bag test. The sky's the limit on what this vehicle can accomplish in the marketplace."
The Chrysler Sebring Convertible has long held the honor of America's favorite convertible, solidly leading the segment for the past decade. In fact, Sebring Convertible has earned the title of best-selling convertible in the United States for seven of the past 11 years. The 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible is poised to reign supreme when it becomes available in U.S. dealerships in the second quarter of 2007 and in global volume markets in the second half of 2007.
In markets outside North America, Sebring Convertible will be the first D-segment cabriolet for the Chrysler Group to offer both a diesel engine and right-hand-drive availability, thereby equipping the vehicle to become a stronger competitor in the segment.
Elegant Design both Inside and Out, Top Up or Down
Chrysler designers looked at the future brand showroom when seeking inspiration for the 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible. From the original sketches to the production vehicle, the all-new convertible was designed to provide a familial tie to its new sedan sibling, and the resemblance is unmistakable. Beyond that, the convertible stretches the look to create usable space in the trunk when the convertible top is stowed.
"Top up or down, the all-new Sebring Convertible's design captures the essence of the Chrysler brand," said Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President – Design, Chrysler Group. "The all-new 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible's design is a showcase for the expressive, refined, athletic and passionate."
From the front view, the new Sebring Convertible shares many traits with its sedan sibling, including the distinctive face of Chrysler, the brand's signature eggcrate grille and a uniquely sculptured hood that features the Chrysler brand's elegant lines. The Chrysler winged medallion is centered at the top of the grille just below the leading edge of the hood. Large quad headlamps wrap around to the side of the vehicle, where the all-new Sebring Convertible's profile takes on a shape all its own.
The all-new 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible's wheelbase is 2.9 inches longer, and the car is 3.5 inches taller and more than 2 inches wider than the vehicle it replaces. Its overall length also is 3 inches longer than the sedan, which lengthens the side profile and provides enough cargo room in the trunk to hold two golf bags when the roof is retracted. Sebring Convertible's profile is defined by a long hood, a long roofline and a high chrome beltline, all of which give the vehicle a nicely proportioned, elegant greenhouse with the top up. Designers also minimized the width of the C-pillar, improving the convertible's sleek side profile and increasing rearward visibility when the convertible top is up. Sculpted character lines run across the body, underneath the door handles and across the lower bodyside, producing the Sebring Convertible's athletic stance.
From the rear, wide tail lamps are mounted on the corners and deck lid for visibility and visual impact. Rear fog lamps mounted in the backup lamps help maintain a uniform appearance among models sold around the world. Chrome-tipped dual exhaust outputs hint at the Limited model's performance capability when equipped with the 3.5-liter V-6 engine and six-speed automatic transaxle.
World-class Craftsmanship
The all-new 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible's interior features a modern, clean design with intense focus on quality, detail, craftsmanship and execution. Soft surfaces on interior touch points, including the instrument panel cover and door arm rests, complement the convertible's luxurious interior.
Inspired by the Chrysler winged badge, the convertible's center stack features a Chrysler signature analog clock, which is surrounded by dual heating and air conditioning vents. Sebring Convertible's instrument panel also includes a locking glove box that can secure important documents and small items. The center floor console features dual storage bins and a sliding armrest that moves 3 inches to provide a comfortable position for all drivers.
As many as four occupants can experience the new Sebring Convertible's comfortable, roomy interior. Occupants sit 2.5 inches higher than they did in the previous Sebring Convertible model, giving them a command-of-the-road seating position. Rear seat passengers also have plenty of leg and head room, making this a functional convertible that can be enjoyed year round in all seasons.
All 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible models feature a two-tone interior theme with dark and lighter shades of Khaki or Gray on the instrument panel and door trim. The Chrysler Sebring Convertible Limited model also features an exclusive Cream and Pebble Beige interior with leather seats. Interior accents include Alloy Silver and chrome on the Sebring Convertible model, Satin Silver and chrome on the Touring model and Satin Silver, chrome and Tortoise Shell on the Limited model.
Thoughtful Attention to Details
The Sebring Convertible's development team paid keen attention to details, finding ways to make life easier for the driver and passengers, while creating a clean design in the process. The result is a 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible that delivers many standard innovative and thoughtful features that will both surprise and delight the driver and passenger, including:
- A trunk spacious enough to hold four golf bags when the convertible top is up and two golf bags when the convertible top is down
- Available remote convertible top operation on the key fob
- No manual convertible top latches, as Sebring's new convertible top system automatically latches
- A standard power hard tonneau that neatly conceals each of the three convertible tops when retracted
- Seatbelts integrated into the front and rear seats, which looks clean, enhances seat comfort and makes it easier for passengers to get into the back seat
- Easy-entry rear seat, as passenger seat features slide and memory recline position
- Available remote start that allows drivers to warm up or cool down their convertible from a distance
- An available windscreen that reduces wind and road noise
- A locking glove box that can secure important documents and small items, top up or down
- An available heated/cooled cup holder that keeps warm beverages warm and cold beverages cool

- Passenger seat back that includes a map pocket for storage
- Doors that include map pocket inserts
Exhilarating Performance with Excellent Fuel Efficiency
The 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible is available in the United States in three models: Chrysler Sebring Convertible, Chrysler Sebring Convertible Touring and Chrysler Sebring Convertible Limited.
Three engine options power the 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible sold in the United States: the standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder World Engine, an available Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV) 2.7-liter V-6 engine and an available 3.5-liter V-6 engine coupled with a new six-speed automatic transaxle with Auto Stick.
Fuel economy is a high priority for many of today's car buyers, and the 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible's standard four-cylinder engine rivals the best four-cylinder engines in the segment. Sebring Convertible's 2.4-liter World Engine with dual variable valve timing delivers fuel efficiency of 23 miles per gallon (mpg) in the city and 31 mpg on the highway, as well as smooth, quiet operation. Mated to a four-speed automatic transaxle, this new engine provides a 15 percent increase in horsepower (173 horsepower vs. 150 horsepower) and an 8 percent improvement in fuel economy compared with the 2.4-liter engine it replaces.
An available FFV 2.7-liter V-6 engine provides value- and performance-conscious consumers the power of a V-6 engine with a price that compares with the competition's four-cylinder engines. Chrysler Sebring Convertible Touring model's 2.7-liter V-6 engine produces 189 horsepower and 191 lb.-ft. of torque, providing more low-end torque (at an rpm 850 lower) compared with the 2.7-liter engine it replaces. This 2.7-liter V-6 engine achieves 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. It also can operate effectively on any blend of gasoline and fuel-grade ethanol up to E-85.
Chrysler Sebring Convertible Limited models sold in the United States also are available with a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that produces 235 horsepower and 232 lb.-ft. of torque coupled with a new six-speed automatic transaxle that comes standard with Auto Stick. The combination of the 3.5-liter V6 engine and six-speed automatic transaxle delivers excellent performance and fuel efficiency, as well as smooth quiet operation. Sebring Convertible's 3.5-liter V-6 engine achieves 18 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.
Solid Structure Provides a Smooth Ride
The 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible was engineered to have an extremely rigid body structure, which provides its quiet, comfortable ride, devoid of cowl shake, even when the top is down. Compared with the model it replaces, the new Sebring Convertible's body structure is substantially stiffer than its predecessor in bending and torsion — especially bending — due to very large sills. In fact, its new front-wheel-drive architecture and the three-box vehicle design contribute to a body that is 2.5 times stiffer in twist and 1.5 times stiffer in bending than the previous generation convertible. These refinements also make the new Sebring Convertible structure stiffer than other convertibles on the market that cost thousands of dollars more.
A Breath of Fresh Air
The all-new Chrysler Sebring Convertible brings new levels of function and technology to the U.S. convertible segment. Innovative new features include the cutting-edge MyGIG navigation/entertainment/infotainment system, a heated/cooled cupholder, YES® Essentials stain-resistant seat fabric and an available feature every convertible owner will love — the ability to drop the convertible top and all four windows with the push of a button on the key fob.
"The all-new Chrysler Sebring Convertible does for the convertible segment what the Chrysler 300 did for the large car segment and the all-new Sebring Sedan does for the mid-size sedan segment — it brings innovative, useful technologies to customers," said David Rooney, Director – Chrysler Marketing and Global Communications, Chrysler Group. "These features make life easier and safer for the driver and passengers, while making the overall driving experience much more enjoyable for all."
The 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible features MyGIG™, a cutting-edge information, entertainment and safety navigation audio system that raises the bar on in-vehicle communications This best-in-class, next-generation navigation radio features a 6.5-inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT) Display with a touch-screen panel that can support 65,000 colors, providing a three-dimensional appearance to graphics and animation, as well as multiple font sizes and styles. The MyGIG system follows voice-activated commands and includes many new features for music, sound, movies and personalized picture displays, including:
- A 20 gigabyte hard disc drive that includes Music Juke Box for organizing music and pictures on the hard drive
- Universal Serial Bus (USB) provides both MP3 connectivity and downloading of WMA, MP3 and JPEG files onto the hard drive
- Gracenote® database installed on the hard drive, which provides song identification, including composer, artist and title
- Playlist creation capability to provide easy access to files
- Voice memo recording, which allows a message up to 3 minutes long to be recorded using the microphone integrated into the rearview mirror
- Radio screen, which can display movies (when vehicle is not in motion)
- SIRIUS® Satellite Radio, which provides customers with more than 125 channels of the best music, entertainment and information coast-to-coast, 24 hours a day. This includes 100 percent commercial-free music, as well as sports, news, talk, entertainment, traffic and weather
- UConnect™ Hands-free Communication System that uses Bluetooth® technology to provide voice-activated wireless communication between the occupants' compatible cell phones and the Sebring Convertible's onboard receiver. The hands-free option promotes safety, freedom, value and flexibility
Class-leading Safety Features
The all-new 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible also offers a unique combination of class-leading safety features that are designed to keep occupants both safe and secure, top up or down.
A new integrated seat-belt system for 2008 connects all seat belts to the seats, making them more comfortable for the driver and passengers, as well as making it much easier for passengers to get in and out of the rear seat.
Sebring Convertible's safety cage is constructed with dual-phase, high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel components designed to protect occupants in all driving situations. Side-guard door beams help protect occupants in side impacts.
Sebring Convertible's extremely strong safety cage is complemented with standard advanced multi-stage front air bags and standard front-seat-mounted side air bags. Anti-lock brakes (ABS) are standard on all 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible models. Electronic Stability Program also is available.
Rising to the Top
The 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible competes primarily in the Standard Specialty segment, with some consideration from Luxury Specialty segment buyers in the U.S. market. The convertible portion of the Standard Specialty segment has remained fairly steady over the past 5 calendar years, with an average of 150,000 units sold each year. The convertible segment is expected to achieve steady growth in the near future, due to a trend toward niche vehicles.
In the United States, Chrysler Sebring Convertible is designed to appeal to successful Baby Boomers who want a car for themselves. They love the open-air freedom of a convertible, but also appreciate that the new Sebring Convertible is practical 365 days of the year. These buyers are 40-50 years old, and 70 percent of them are married. They are well-educated and earn a median income of approximately $90,000. Fifty percent are male, 50 percent are female and 60 percent are college educated. These Sebring Convertible buyers are fun, carefree, classy, friendly, smart and easy-going. The all-new Chrysler Sebring Convertible meets their demands for a vehicle that can do triple duty for going to work, running errands and pleasure drives with the top down.
2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible Production
Production of the 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible begins in the first quarter of 2007 at the newly refurbished Sterling Heights (Mich.) Assembly Plant. Sebring Convertible's new 173 horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder World Engine is built in the state-of-the art Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance (GEMA) plant in Dundee, Mich. The 2.7-liter V-6 engine and the 3.5-liter V-6 engine are built at the Kenosha (Wis.) Engine Plant.

Robotic surgery grows, but so do questions
These days, some surgeons have four arms and are made of metal and plastic. Use of a robotic assistant called the Da Vinci Surgical System has quadrupled in the last four years, and the machine now helps with incisions and sutures in 2,000 hospitals around the world. Da Vinci is a multi-purpose robot — the only one of its kind — that can scrub in on heart bypass and valve repair operations, hysterectomies, prostate removal surgeries and other procedures. The Da Vinci robot is not actually performing operations; it only mirrors the movements of the surgeon's hands on two joystick-like controllers. Hospitals with the robot proudly proclaim its modern capabilities. Some patients insist on being treated by the mechanical surgeon. But despite the Da Vinci's popularity, its surgical talents may not surpass those of flesh-and-blood physicians. "There's never been a study showing clinical superiority," says Dr. Marty Makary, a surgeon at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore. "For the patient, there's clearly no difference."

Italian parachute regiment trains at home of Sky Soldiers
VICENZA, Italy - Approximately 60 Italian parachutists of the 186th Regiment, Folgore Brigade, arrived on Caserma Ederle Jan. 14 for a regimental level Command Post Exercise, or CPX.
The regiment's advance party began setting up its operating environment Jan. 15-18 and the main body arrived Jan. 21 to begin classroom instruction that continued Jan. 22-25. The CPX itself took place Jan. 27-30 and was to be followed by an after action review Jan. 31.
In the course of the two weeks of training in the Vicenza Mission Training Complex, the 186th soldiers simulated a Wide Area Security mission to stabilize a rear area, ensure ground routes remained open and secure in the hypothetical area of operations, and undertake host nation support roles as they presented themselves.
While the regiment's use of the training center is is not out of the ordinary, this particular CPX came together quickly, said VMTC officials.
"This is something the regiment requested," said VMTC chief James Beverly. "We actually put it together in less than 30 days."
It was important for the regiment to train in a hybrid environment, said Lt. Col. Sergio Cardea, G-3 of the Folgore Brigade, and a 20-year airborne veteran who acted as the head of the HICON, or higher command control, playing the role of the brigade in the exercise.
"It is exactly as with the other regiment last October," said Cardea, referring to similar scenario training last fall in which the Folgore Brigade headquarters section participated as part of Joint Multinational Training Center's Saber Junction exercise.
"Just like last time, we had mission command program come down from Germany to teach the science portion," said VMTC simulation specialist Paul Toombs. "The biggest difference is that last time the HICON was in Germany. This time we got with Colonel McDonald (Lt. Col. Brian McDonald, 173rd ABCT rear detachment commander) and got some of his guys to do a joint HICON, playing various roles. All the command functions are coming down from the HICON here. It was completely internal."
The 186th parachutists have trained on Caserma Ederle before, said Cardea.
"We did a similar exercise in 2010 and the 186th was involved. This particular training at the moment is not tied to deployment, it is general training," he said.
But deployment is a regular part of the brigade's battle rhythm, having deployed to Afghanistan as recently as 2011, as is building its partnership with the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team's Sky Soldiers, who are stationed at Caserma Ederle.
"We have many exchanges with the 173rd in many activities. For instance, this is a combined activity, we are all working together," Cardea said.
Among the scenarios the paratroopers undertook were planning and executing logistical tasks, managing various incidents, including TIC, or troops in contact, and managing the flow of casualties.
"This is a CPX," said 186th Regiment Commanader, Col. Roberto Angius. "We have the opportunity to have here an exchange of experience, from the U.S. Soldiers to us, but also from us to them, from experience of other theaters. It is especially Afghanistan now, but other theaters as well."
One major focus is becoming familiar with variations in behavior, both of friendly forces and of native populations, said Angius, who has personally served abroad in Lebanon, Somalia and Kosovo in the course of his career. The Folgore Brigade's historical experience has made them knowledgeable regarding the Mediterranean cultural area, including the Arabic cultural zone of North Africa, he said.
"Each nation is different. It's important in this kind of operation. It is interesting to know their experience, perhaps in Central America. It's important to put together these experiences," said Angius.
"We are not in international context like in a classical war; the problem is cultural. For this particular reason every nation is different, every nation has a different approach to the same reality, therefore it is important among different nations to see the approach each may have and determine which one is the best," he said.

Written by Sickle Cell Warrior on 04 August 2013
This WINS article is going to be a tad different because Carla is a world class lady. I just had to share her letter with everyone, for a little solidarity, and a lot of inspiration. ~SCW Hi there Sickle Cell Warriors! First off, let me just tell you that your website brought tears to my eyes. It's amazing to see an entire Sickle Cell community because at times I feel like no one understands what I go through. I'm currently living in Oklahoma and could probably count on one hand how many individuals I know that have SCD. This is especially difficult for me because I encounter a lot of doctors and nurses who aren't familiar with the disease but assume all patients are drug seekers. After jumping through all types of hoops to show that I am in pain, I often get '"You're not like the typical Sickle Cell patient, I know most of them are just wanting narcotics." As I've gotten older I have gone through a range of emotions with my disease. At first I was upset because I couldn't get the medical services I needed. Then I became empowered, I wanted to step up and speak out about SCD because I truly believe that people are unaware of the seriousness of this disease. As frustrating as it can be at times, I want to raise awareness about this because I think it's so important for everyone to be knowledgeable about this. Now, I'm not saying I know everything because I'm certainly learning more myself but I want to be apart in helping others learn too. This website has many topics that I've often had questions about as well but I didn't know where to turn. I can't tell you how happy I am that I saw your site. Keep up the good work! I would love to get connected with other warriors and especially those in the Oklahoma area. If you know of any events or have ways I can become an advocate within your site please let me know. How old where you when you found out you had sickle cell? I've had sickle cell for as long as I can remember. I believe my first hospital visit was around 4 or 5. How were you able to cope with school and sickle cell? How did your childhood and your parents influence you in your choice of career? What do you do? What kind of experience and schooling does one need to get your job? I am a social worker, which is very stressful but I absolutely love it. To become a social worker you need to obtain a Bachelor's degree. Describe a typical day on your job. "Typical day" is not something that happens in the life of a social worker! But I think that's one thing I enjoy about my job because you never know what's happening next. I really enjoy my job because I get to work with children and their parents to help them become a better family. I come across people from all walks of life and I just hope that I have made a positive impact that will lead a lasting impression. Knowing that I've helped them get through their difficult times is my biggest reward. How do you manage SCD and still maintain a thriving career? Have you noticed a difference in how your coworkers treat you once they know you have SCD? What advice would you give to someone wanting to join your profession that has sickle cell? This profession is very stressful so be prepared to find ways to reduce your stress level. It's an exciting job and I don't think having SCD should ever limit what we do but unfortunately, at times it does. would say to remember to take days for yourself because if you never take a break you'll wind up with more problems with your sickle cell. Finding things that relieve stress is the most important thing in this field of work. Has sickle cell limited any areas of your life? When you do reach obstacles in your life, what helps you through it? Do you have regular pain (more than 2x a week)? How do you cope with this when you are working? My pain varies each week but I've noticed as I've gotten older I have more pain on a regular basis. I think my way of coping with it is blocking it out in a sense. Days that I don't have some type of pain is what I usually notice. How has sickle cell affected your personal life? For example, are you in a relationship, do you have kids, etc. Looking at the 14 year old version of yourself, what would you tell him or her if you could…? Is there anything else that you would want to tell other sickle cell warriors? Here's to other men and women just like me. It's amazing to see an entire Sickle Cell community because at times I feel like no one understands what I go through. We are much stronger than the pain we bare and I pray that one day someone finds a cure!!

I had purchased the wired xbox after glow pad and it is the best pad i have ever used, i find it more comfortable than official 360 pads.
The only thing i do have to say, is that for future seeing as in most cases wired 360 pads are used to play on the computer, include an instruction booklet or something on the back linking you to somewhere that exsplained how to get the drivers nessicary for to get the pad to work on the pc

• Fresh seasonal berries are so versatile and you can add them to anything. A little jumble of berries adds height, color, flavor, with, of course, minimal calories and loads of nutrients. My favorite berries are raspberries, for their gorgeous color, sweet perfume, and ease of use – no steam or big seed to worry about. They are the perfect balance of so many good things!
• Yogurt is fantastic in baking because the acid which keeps the dough tender. I love to incorporate vanilla yogurt in place of sour cream to help keep the moist and flavor in cakes and scones. My strawberry pecan scones are a great dish using yogurt.

Ada —
A man, convicted of murdering Donna Denise, Haraway after she was abducted from an Ada convenience store nearly 30 years ago, has had his application for post-conviction relief granted.
Pontotoc County District Judge Tom Landrith has also ordered "hundreds of documents" the Oklahoma Innocence Project says were never disclosed in the case to be turned over to the court by Dec. 31.
Karl Fontenot, one of two men convicted in Haraway's murder, has been in prison for the last 28 years, serving a sentence of life without parole.
The motion was filed originally in July by the Oklahoma Innocence Project at Oklahoma City University's School of Law.
The group appeared before the judge in September where he heard Tiffany Murphy's motion for discovery in the Fontenot case.
Landrith made his ruling on that motion Monday.
Pontotoc County District Attorney Chris Ross disagrees with the Oklahoma Innocence Project's assertion that the case has too many inconsistencies. He says there isn't enough evidence to warrant a re-trial.
"Well, they aren't jurors, you know," Ross said. "Thirty-six jurors heard this evidence and 36 jurors found Ward and Fontenot guilty," Ross said.
The D.A. also claims there is no new evidence, such as DNA, though would proves Fontenot's innocence.
The state of Oklahoma has 30 days to respond to the documents filed by Oklahoma Innocence Project.
Ross said last summer that he has recused himself from the investigation, turning it over to the Oklahoma Attorney General's office to avoid any appearance of conflict of innocence.
Ross was unavailable for comment on the most recent developments in this case.

"I used this little card as an insert with the invitation. I needed to add directions (quite extensive) on one side & the other side was used for where to mail "parent tips" & "baby wishes". Customer service was outstanding on helping me do this! I highly recommend tiny prints!"
"These cards come in a beautiful sage green color with pink accents. Our shower had a bird theme so I used these as thank you notes. The paper was of heavy quality with a smooth finish-- high quality and a great choice."
"I ordered these cards for shower Thank You's. I live in Germany and ordered the cards to say "Danke schön!" (Thank you!). They turned out great! The quality of the paper is fantastic. The envelope size presents a bit of a problem with the German post, because it is smaller than a normal post envelope, it costs ~2.50 EUR to send domestic post (each card). It would be great to offer an envelope size that is a bit bigger, for European clients : ) I also ordered the matching envelope labels and am really happy with these as well!"
"This card was perfect for my baby shower thank you notes! I really liked the quality of the paper - good, thick card stock. I also ordered the matching return address labels. I love how everything coordinates - it makes it more personalized and special."
"These are high-quality thank you cards. They arrived on-time and look so sweet. I can't wait to use them to send my appreciation for baby shower gifts. There isn't much room on the front to write, but the back has enough space. Instead of using my name at the bottom, I simply edited the card to say "Thank You." The colors are exactly as they appear. I would recommend this other customers."

Speedboat—a novel, a memoir, a lyric essay?—all questions of category fall away in its reading. What remains is Renata Adler's voice, perceptive, wry, brilliant, making what sense she can of the late 20th-century condition. Speedboat was a revelation to writers as different as Elizabeth Hardwick and David Foster Wallace, and its true influence is only beginning to be felt.

Urban costs, Trade costs and Tax Competition
This paper presents a model of the New Economic Geography which integrates commuting costs and land rent and displays a dispersion ? agglomeration configuration when regional and/or international trade are liberalised. Two main results are found, the first one is that dispersion Pareto dominates agglomeration, the second one is that the agglomeration rent is not bell-shaped but strictly decreasing when impediments to trade are removed. This turns out to be a convenient framework to revisit the links between tax competition, location of firms and trade integration. It is shown in particular that a reduction in trade costs and/or an increase in urban costs leads to a race to the bottom in terms of taxation, and that a tax floor set at the level of the small country may be detrimental to it. Lastly two extensions are done in order to show that i) even under a partial agglomeration of activities, the race to the bottom in terms of taxation is still verified ii) even in a multi-regions model, international trade liberalization generates a race to the bottom when regional trade costs are low enough.Download Info
