Hip arthritis is a condition in which there is loss of cartilage on the head of the thigh bone and of the socket of the pelvis where the thigh bone fits into the joint.
Hip arthritis may be caused by many factors, including simple wear and tear, inflammatory disorders such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, infections, or injury.
Hip arthritis typically occurs in middle aged or elderly patients, though body weight, activity level, and one's unique structure of the hip joint are also factors. Hip arthritis also runs in families, so some patients are genetically predisposed to the condition.
Symptoms of hip arthritis include:
If you experience these arthritis symptoms regularly, you should speak with your doctor about available hip arthritis treatments.
A physical examination by your doctor, with focus on your pain and range of motion, will help with diagnosis and rule out other possible underlying conditions, including hip bursitis and avascular necrosis.
X-ray imaging also provides insight as to whether there is cartilage loss. X-rays reflective of bone loss show a loss of space between the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum).
Depending on the severity of the symptoms, condition, age, and other factors, hip arthritis may be managed in a number of different ways including any or a combination of the following treatments:
In severe cases of hip arthritis, surgery may be recommended. Common surgical procedures include:
Duke Orthopaedics treats hip arthritis at locations throughout North Carolina, including Raleigh, Durham, Cary, and Chapel Hill.
Watch an educational video about hip joint arthritis.
At Duke Orthopaedics, our doctors offer total hip replacement for patients with advanced hip arthritis. The following video demonstrates this procedure.

Justine Ezarik from Tasty Blog Snack got an unexpected surprise in the mail today - her first phone bill from AT&T, after purchasing an iPhone and switching carriers. Nothing unusual about that, except that it arrived in a box (that would be my first clue that something terribly wrong had occurred at AT&T's billing department), not an envelope, and...oh yeah...it's 300 freaking pages long!
AT&T apologized sincerely for this error, and promised that in future all iPhone bills will arrive in carefully packed boxes stacked on wooden palettes, delivered by forklift to your front door for your convenience.
Damn, you have it dated 8/13. I just found and posted it today, 8/15. Oh well. At least I have screensnaps. Nyah-nyah.
That evil company accounted from every charge you were required to pay. How could they! They have to create such a detailed bill to cover every law, rule, and special interest group in existence and have always done so. Now some text-addict who didn't have the foresight or responsibility to switch to non-paper billing, or at least non-detailed billing wants to get attention for something that is in every way expected. I think it is also misleading in how this event was described as though a long accurately detailed bill was an unfair expensive bill. Not enough hours in the day for the whining you people do.

In documents filed on Dec. 12, U.S. District Judge Richard P. Matsch has issued an order denying motion for entry of final judgment. This concerns the anti-trust lawsuit by the U.S. Department of Justice against Gunnison Energy Corporation, SG Interest I, LTD and SG Interests VII, LTD (SGI).
The Department of Justice alleged that the companies which do exploration and development of natural gas in the Ragged Mountain Area violated the Sherman Act by collusion in bidding on federal lands offered by the BLM for lease in April and May 2005.
The Justice Department said a Memorandum of Understanding dated Feb. 8, 2005 contained an agreement that SGI would submit bids as nominee for both companies. If the bid was successful, Gunnison Energy Corporation would receive 50 percent interest. Then the two would create a joint venture development plan.
The Department of Justice said leases were acquired at substantially lower value than if SGI and Gunnison Energy had competed during the lease auction. This was viewed as an "illegal restraint of trade in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act and that the government be awarded treble damages for the losses incurred as a result of the defendants' conduct."
The proposed final judgment would have required Gunnison Energy and SGI to each pay $275,000 for a total of $550,000 to the United States.
A period of public comment resulted in comments from many individuals who said the judgment was not enough and would not be a deterrent.
Some suggested the government should revoke the leases from the defendants. Many commented that the judgment was far less severe than previous judgments, such as the one against Tim DeChristopher, an environmental activist who bid and won on parcels totaling about $1.8 million and which he never intended to develop. He was criminally charged and sentenced to 24 months in prison, three years of supervised release and a $10,000 fine.
In the final judgment agreement neither Gunnison Energy nor SGI admitted to any guilt. The Justice Department made the decision to pursue this case as a civil action.
Judge Matsch found that Gunnison Energy Corporation "filed a statement responding to the public comments in a manner that demonstrates that this defendant considers this antitrust action to be meritless and the settlement to be nothing more than a payment to be rid of this nuisance . . . The unrepentant arrogance of this defendant is so self-evident that a copy of the statement is attached as Exhibit A. It is not in the public interest to approve a final judgment that permits a defendant to leave its civil action in such a smirking, self-righteous attitude."

Where the Red Fern Grows is a 1961 novel by Wilson Rawls about a boy who buys and trains two Redbone Coonhound hunting dogs.[1]
Plot summary
Before leaving work one afternoon, Billy Coleman spots a Redbone Coonhound in a fight with neighborhood dogs. He chases the other dogs away and helps it recover from its wounds. When it is feeling stronger again, he realizes he must set it free, knowing that it will find its way home. This event makes him revisit his past, and the two Redbone Coonhounds he had taken care of when he was a boy in the Ozarks.
Growing up in the Ozarks with his parents and three younger sisters, Billy Coleman, at age 10, wants to own a pair of Redbone Coonhounds but his parents tell him that they can't afford them. One day he finds an article in a sportsman magazine offering a pair in Kentucky for $25 each. He decides to earn the money himself. For two years, he works many different jobs, and manages to save $50. His grandfather writes to the kennel and finds out that the dogs have dropped in price by $5 each. He sends for two Redbone Coonhound puppies.
The mail does not deliver packages, and so the puppies have to be sent to the depot at Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Billy travels on his own by walking there and gets them. With the extra $10 his grandfather gave him, he buys gifts for his family: a pair of overalls for his dad, cloth for making dresses for his mom and sisters, and a bag of candy for his sisters. On the way back home, he spends the night in Robber's Cave on Sparrow Hawk Mountain. There he builds a fire and plays with the puppies. While trying to sleep, he hears a noise that at first seems like a woman screaming, but he soon realizes it is really that of a mountain lion from far away. Both puppies run to the mouth of the cave and challenge the cat. Billy worries for them, and he remembers that his father told him "mountain lions are scared of fire," so he makes fire and waits for morning. In the morning, he continues on. He comes to a sycamore tree and sees the names Dan and Ann carved inside a heart in the bark and decides to name the puppies Old Dan and Little Ann.
To train his dogs, Billy catches a raccoon with the help of his grandfather and uses the fur to teach them how to trail one. During their training, their personalities become apparent: Old Dan is brave and strong, while Little Ann is very intelligent. Both are very loyal to each other and to Billy. Old Dan has the brawn, and Little Ann has the brains.
On the first day of the hunting season, Billy takes his dogs out for their very first hunt. He promises them that if they tree a raccoon, he will do the rest. They are very ready to chase their first raccoon in a large tree, which Billy had before nicknamed "the Big Tree", and is one of the largest in the woods. As he tries to call his well-trained dogs off the hunt, they look at him sadly and he cuts down the enormous tree to keep his promise — an exhausting effort that takes him a few days of chopping and costs him blistered hands. In the end, when about to give up his effort, he offers a short prayer for strength to continue. Mysteriously, a strong wind starts to blow and the tree comes crashing down. Old Dan and Little Ann take the raccoon down.
Billy, Old Dan, and Little Ann go out hunting almost every night. As months go by, he brings more fur to his grandfather's store than any other hunter, and the stories of his dogs spread throughout the Ozarks. One day, he and his grandfather make a bet with Rubin and Rainie Pritchard, that his hounds can catch the legendary "ghost coon." The Pritchard boys set out with him to see if Old Dan and Little Ann can catch it. It leads them on a long, complicated chase, and the Pritchard boys want to give up. But Billy is determined. Finally, when they have it treed, Billy refuses to kill it. Just as Rubin starts to beat up Billy, Old Dan and Little Ann begin to attack the Pritchards' dog, Old Blue. Rubin runs to attack them with an axe, but he falls on it and kills himself. Billy is very distraught afterward. Finally he goes to Rubin's grave with some flowers, then feels much better.
A few weeks later, Billy's grandfather enters him into a championship raccoon hunt, putting him against experienced hunters and the finest dogs in all the country. Before it starts, he enters Little Ann into a contest for the best-looking dog, where she wins and is given the silver cup. On the fourth night of the hunt, Old Dan and Little Ann chase three raccoons, making it to the final round. The sixth night, they chase one before a blizzard hits. Billy, his dad, grandfather, and the judge lose sight of them. When they finally find them, Billy's grandfather falls and sprains his ankle which prevents him from walking. They built a fire, and when Billy's dad chops down a tree, three raccoons rise. The dogs take down two of them, and chase the third one to another tree. In the morning, the hunters find them covered with ice circling the bottom of a tree. The last raccoon wins them the championship and the gold cup.
Billy's mom and sisters are overjoyed. Billy keeps up his hunting. One night, however, his dogs tree a mountain lion. Old Dan howls defiantly, and the big cat attacks. Billy is horrified, and with his axe he enters the fray, hoping to save his dogs, but they end up having to save him. Eventually, the dogs defeat the mountain lion, but Old Dan is badly wounded, and Billy soon finds Old Dan's intestines in a bush. He dies the next day. Billy is heartbroken, and Little Ann is so sad that she loses her will to live, and dies a few days later on Old Dan's grave. Billy's papa tries to tell him that it is all for the best, because with the money he has earned, they hope to move to town. He does not completely recover until on the day of the move; he goes to visit the dogs' graves and finds a giant red fern between them. According to Indian legend, only an angel can plant a red fern. He and his family look at it in awe, and he feels ready to leave for town.
The novel was made into a popular 1974 film starring Stewart Petersen, James Whitmore and Beverly Garland.[2] It was followed by Where the Red Fern Grows, Part Two in 1992.[3] The film was remade in 2003 and starred Joseph Ashton, Dabney Coleman, Ned Beatty and Dave Matthews.[4]
In a talk given to a group of schoolteachers, Wilson Rawls related how he wrote the first version of Where the Red Fern Grows (along with five full novels, and hundreds of short stories and novelettes) during the years that he worked on construction in Mexico, and later, in Idaho. He rolled the manuscripts up and saved them in a trunk at his parents' home. When he met his fiance Sophie, he did not want her to know about his failed dreamed of becoming a writer, so about a week before he got married he visited his parents and burned all his manuscripts. He then returned to Idaho and married Sophie. About three months later, he confessed to his wife that he had burned all his manuscripts and had always dreamed of being a writer. She encouraged Rawls to rewrite one of his stories. He quit his job and wrote Where the Red Fern Grows in just six weeks. He said, "I had it memorized." [5] He would not let Sophie read the book until it was finished. He said, "I finished it on a Friday. I gave it to her Saturday morning and I went to town. I stayed in town all day. I knew she had time to read it. I called her on the phone. I just knew she was going to laugh at that writing. . . . But when I called on the phone, she said, 'You get back out here to the house, I want to talk to you . . . this is the most wonderful dog and boy story I've ever heard in my life.'" [6] Sophie encouraged Rawls to lengthen the story, because she felt it was too short to be a novel but too long to be a short story. Rawls went to work on lengthening the manuscript. He wrote it longhand. Sophie then typed it up and submitted it to the Saturday Evening Post. [7][8]
The Saturday Evening Post rejected the manuscript in just 3 weeks. Sophie then sent the manuscript to the Ladies Home Journal. Sophie believed that a woman editor at the Ladies Home Journal would like the story. About four months later, Rawls received a letter from the Ladies Home Journal saying that it was the wrong kind of story for their magazine, but they wanted to send it to the Saturday Evening Post. Upon the second submission to the Saturday Evening Post, the story was accepted. The story was first published in serialization in the Saturday Evening Post in 1961 under the title "The Hounds of Youth." [9][10]
DoubleDay then accepted the book for publication. Rawls said DoubleDay then "broke my heart." They changed the title to, "Where the Red Fern Grows," and attempted to market the book to adult readers. For about six years, the book languished on shelves and failed to sell. DoubleDay was going to put the book out of print, but one agent named Mr. Breinholt from Salt Lake City fought for the book and asked for just a few more months to market the book. Mr. Breinholt got Rawls a speaking engagement at the University of Utah to a conference of over 5,000 reading teachers and librarians. Copies of the book were made available to the teachers and librarians. When the teachers and librarians took the book back to their schools, the children loved it, and orders began pouring in. Jim Trelease states, "Each year since then, it has sold more copies than the previous year."[11]

I buy Ralph Lauren a good bit for my work attire.I'm a little older than most of you guys and haven't bought one of their polos in 20+ years, but their suits, jackets, and shirts stand up well to dry cleaning. Matter of fact, much better than say Brooks Bros. or J. Bank. It can get pricey, but I shop the sales at the local department store.

It's paired with a molded 4D Foam™ insole that custom forms to your foot and performs three tasks at once: optimal shock absorption, extra rebound, and lessened foot slip for increased lateral stability.
The Highlight is new for baseball in 2013 and it's bringing along a new innovation of its own: Under Armour Spine technology. Doing what other cleats can't, these have a lightweight cushioning system that supports movement like no other. By coring out the outsole and adding the Pebax® Spine, they've removed as much unnecessary weight as possible. This has made one of the lightest and most supportive cleats around. Re-engineered Rotational Traction technology adds extra-wide Fang spikes in a circular, 6-4 configuration for extra speed boots and powerful torque

Comments about TaylorMade SuperDeep Golf Ball Yellow:
A taylor made enthusiast by far and big on spec's.
This ball is the longest ball Taylor made has ever made and added ten yards to my driver and five plus on my irons. So you would think it's hard and wont check up but wrong. This ball is soft to firm and I can make it bite off irons. Maybe not back it up but backing up sometimes bites you when it comes off green. So for me i love it because I know its limits and has no mistakes. Also comes in yellow so whe playing in a foursome when we all get to our balls I sit and wait tell the other three hit with a smile. Also can see it hit and roll as with white I can't.
I play on average six days a week and a scratch golfer and for the money you will not go wrong.

Sharp's new 'value' home-theater projector: The XV-Z15000
The prices for 1080p front-projectors have gradually been coming down, and Sharp thinks it has a nice proposition for consumers in its new $3,000 XV-Z15000 projector that arrives in March.
This is a DLP projector that features a single 1080p DLP 0.65" DMD chip from Texas Instruments and what Sharp is calling "an unprecedented 30,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and high brightness in a price-competitive model."
The XV-Z15000 offers a native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080, a 24 Hz film mode, and a six-segment, six-speed color wheel. The press release adds that, &… Read more

I agree that Trippin', Truck, IDWLYG and Prettiest Girl are top-tier Post-Pink material. I guess it comes as no surprise that those songs were all written before the Rad era (Truck, Trippin' and IDWTLYG were written from '05-'08, Prettiest Girl was written in '97) and are the only songs on the album that were written solely by Rivdawg. I wish that we got the Jacknife Lee produced follow up to Red that was completed in late '08, Weezer were still recording with credibility and the world of Dr Luke co-writes didn't exist.

LINCOLN — While one college campus in Iowa is limiting the sale of bottled water, University of Nebraska campuses and Creighton University say they aren't ready to go down that road yet.
After a successful student-led campaign, Drake University in Des Moines will severely limit the sales of plastic single-serving water bottles next fall. Instead, the university will hand out reusable water bottles to students at the start of the fall semester. University of Nebraska campuses and Creighton have decided to follow a different path on sustainability.
"The sale of beverages is a source of revenue for our student center, and there are people that like to have that convenience," said Patrick Wheeler, environmental specialist at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
Eric Reznicek, president of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln student government, said the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska (ASUN) is doing other things to get students to change their habits.
"We have started an educational program with freshmen where they will get an education pack with a reusable water bottle and a drawstring bag made out of recycled material," Reznicek said. Packs will also include tips on how students can be earth-friendly in their day-to-day activities.
UNO's environmental club handed out nearly 500 reusable water bottles and 250 reusable coffee mugs at the start of the fall semester, Wheeler said, not only to promote the use of reusable plastics, but to stop students from having to buy water.
Drake's plan also includes hydration stations — special water fountains around campus that make it easy to fill tall bottles.
UNO installed a filtered hydration station in the food court of the Milo Bail Student Center last fall to see if the idea was worth replicating, Wheeler said.
"It won't be something that we do en masse, but I hope it's something that we can do," he said.
UNL also has a few stations installed in the Nebraska Union and around campus. Reznicek said the fountains track how many plastic water bottles students save from going to landfills.
"The ones that I've walked by, I've never seen below 5,000 water bottles — and they were just installed at the beginning of the school year," Reznicek said.
But cutting bottled water completely would create too many hurdles, he said, and ASUN sees its time being better spent in areas that could have a bigger effect on sustainability.
So far, UNL has installed solar panels on East Campus and LED lights around campus.
Creighton's Green Jays student group is working to raise awareness about environmental issues across campus. The campus has an array of solar panels that supply a portion of the campus's electricity as well as being a tool for classes to learn about sustainable energy. Other efforts include a community garden, reducing food waste by eliminating trays in the dining halls, and periodic clothing drives.
The University of Nebraska at Kearney held its second "Dumpster dive" to sort through trash and recycling and analyze the material inside, said Lee McQueen, UNK director of facilities management and planning.
"It helps us look at waste per student and waste per staff member, which can help us develop how we handle waste in the future," he said.
The Kearney campus is also looking into LED lighting, McQueen said.
"We as individuals can and need to do a lot, but as a unit we can make the most impact on sustainability when we are really conscious about conserving energy," he said.
UNO also has plans for sustainability on a larger scale, including bike-share programs, tree plantings and electronic recycling, as well as an effort to create classes in sustainability for undergraduate and graduate students next year.
"That's not to say what Drake is doing is bad," Wheeler said. "I think it's a great thing for them — just not the path that we've chosen to go down here. At least not yet."
Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa, has restricted its sales of bottled water. The University of Iowa, Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa say they have no such plans, but they have installed water bottle filling stations.
This report includes material from the Associated Press.

Up until last year, a science T.A.K.S test would seem impossible considering the teachings I.P.C, Biology, and chemistry. Within these teachings, is taught the theory of evolution. While most schools require this, and in most biology books, it's taught, is there not something in the constitution that states: "Separation from Church and State" - Evolution is a religion and a bogus theory, and my religion directly conflicts with it. It is wrong to bring evolution into public schools. Period, there's nothing else that can be said about it. Even then, people can chose to ignore that teaching, but to bring it into a future-effecting test is wrong.

indisbelief 5pts Wow,how much did Toyota pay you guys to print that add(oops it was YOUR comparison). I realize they are desperate to clean up the killer camry fiasco but who would have thought MT would be so willing to help. Maybe if the camry comes with an exploding gas tank you guys will give it COTY. I would have ranked the camry dead last even if there were no safety issues. I don't care how cheap they get, I would'nt buy a camry over any of the others. And where was the Mazda 6.(I guess toyota would'nt let you put it in the comparison).And to think I almost plopped down $4.99 to buy this issue. I think I'll save for something more truthful and intelligent like The National Enquirer.
ceomrman 5pts Great article! I'm happy that MT is finally paying appropriate attention to safety, depreciation, mileage and noise levels. A well-done article.
anti_gmfan4life 5pts Has anyone seen my arch-nemesis, gmfan4life? I didn't see any posts from him on this article....Maybe it's because his precious Malibu has disappointed him for the last time. The fully operational GM destroyer known as Hyundai is formulating a resistance against the empire, and it's not looking good for GM....or gmfan4life.Mwuahahaha!
Fritz von Zipper 5pts While I am not a Mazda owner, I am surprised if not disappionted that you did`t include it in your test. I am sure it would have scored well. As for me, with all due respect, I totally disagree woth your take on the Camry. It is a bit better that it was, it is , however, just a sportier appliance.
Rockin473 5pts Having owned TOYOTA and HONDA all my life, last year I purchased a new FORD FUSION. I can't believe I waited all these years. What an incredibly better car in all aspects - far superior interior to Camry, Sync is so fun, road noise is non existant, ride is unbelievable, and acceleration and handling better that my once beloved Camry. I have had The FORD FUSION over one year - quality is absolutlely flawless, nothing has gone wrong. MY Camry had 4 quality type issues in the first 3 months alone. I will never buy a Toyota again ever. And after Toyota tried to hide the truth about their issues, that was the final straw. FORD is one of the most ethical companies in America - FORD has my loyalty now.
Patriot300 5pts 1. Chevy Malibu (The classiest car of the bunch the Hot LTZ is far away the nicest car of the group) 2. Ford Fusion (solid commuter no frills) 3. Nissan Altima (commuter car) 4. Hyundai Sonata 5. Subaru Legacy - this one barley belongs on any list. 6. There needs to be a gap here because the bottom 2 are not even close to the top 4. 7. Toyota Camry TRD = TIRD & Honda Accord = design by committee (I wouldn't even bother to test drive either one of these tird burgers)
sportnik9 5pts I definitely noticed th unrealistic numbers on that voting for the Sonata, I feel sorry for them for being that desperate.
spiagiavita 5pts Rigged for Hyundai?That doesn't make any sense at all. If MT tries that hard, why can't they just give Hyundai Sonata, the first place on this comparo, and get it over with? Did you and five other friends witness Elvis and Michael Jackson too?
BuyUSA 5pts Ford Motor Company should be commended for the quality of the vehicles it produces! I know it's your right to buy & drive whatever. But the bottom line is we haven't supported our manufacturers since the 1970's & now our Country doesn't produce anything. Ok, with the exception of a bunch of people staring @ computer screens for hours upon hours! Also like to take this time to say Thanks' to the enviro nuts, the greenies, tree huggers & a special Thanks' to Mr I-NET himself the warm & fuzzy Albert Gore! Thanks to you bunch of pitifull mutts for your selfish destruction of a once great country!
Dequindre 5pts This poll is rigged to make the Sonata win. It jumped 16,000 votes when the Fusion was clearly winning. Notice how the advertisments on the side are of the Sonata, not the other sedans.
Bennichen 5pts 07-09 Camry XLE, I think is the most elegant styling I have ever seen in an economy car my life, had Toyota not done this ugly face lift for the 2010 model. It would have still been my favorite.
bonderto 5pts In the currently running poll on the "vote for the mid sized sedan you would pick, now I know it is fixed. We have been taking turns (5 of us) watching the tallies slowly and steadily climbing. Each time the leading Ford Fusion gets a few thousand ahead of the second place Sonata, there is a instantaneous jump in vote to bring them even. This was bad enough, but today at about 4:30 pm EST the Fusion had realistically climbed 16,000 votes ahead when in a second the Sonata was equal again!! Fake and meaningless poll!
stanjohn123 5pts How come you guys didn't compare it with the Skoda Superb. It can beat everything with ease in all departments except After Sales Service.
steadite 5pts Why, in a family sedan article, is so much time devoted to comparison of the various "manual shift" methodologies? The buyers of these cars will NEVER use that feature, although their 17 YO son may.
Carbuff1 5pts My choice ALSO included service, which is as important as the vehicle itself. Without real QUALITY service, auto-manufacturers have NOTHING. I pray the North American auto industry wake up, real soon!
LoneStarLifer 5pts I'm not a "car person", meaning I never really cared what I drove if it had wheels and a motor...until I got a Ford Fusion 4 years ago. That was the first time I said "I love my car." I'm now on my second Fusion (as 1st one was totaled in wreck, not my fault) and this time I got a Fusion Sport. Even better! I love the way it looks and the way it drives. Very happy with my purchase. I even wrote a love letter to it here: http://wp.me/pyCBa-D6. Written from a very untechnical viewpoint, just a driver who loves her car.
ASH8 5pts Really to pick the APPLIANCES Motor Cars like the CAMRY, Honda, Nissan and Chevrolet with NO SOLE, where a Mazda 6 has a Top Class Chassis, Handling and FUN to Drive. Remember FUN to DRIVE cars AMERICA??..they still exist...like the Mazda Miata MX-5, RX-8, Mazdaspeed 3...For the Money NOTHING Comes close to the HIROSHIMA SCREAMERS!...NOTHING!
ASH8 5pts The Mazda 6 deserves a Position, particularly as it has the same platform as the Fusion, Ford Uses Mazda's platform.
tigerotor77w 5pts The Camry quote is bang-on."Okay, steering feel and handling prowess are not outstanding, but when you hustle this slice of milquetoast, it shrugs off road imperfections and carves through turns just fine. There's lots of chassis roll but no loss of control. Seemingly excels at nothing, yet it really excels at everything. A driving enthusiast might want a more involving and athletic machine, but for 99 percent of buyers shopping in this category, the Camry simply nails the mission profile."I thought I was going to buy a new car to replace my '07, but it does "daily driver" so damned well that it's difficult to say that something else can do mediocre any better.
bonderto 5pts Hyundai is paying big$ to have instantaneous votes pumped in to make sure they win. I've been closley watching the slow steady numbers rise, realistically. Every time the Fusion climbs ahead, suddenly the Sonata jumps ahead by thousands in an instant. Very suspicious !!
spiagiavita 5pts Hyundai Sonata and Ford Fusion should've been tied for first place(it could easily go either way), followed by Honda Accord for the third place, Nissan Altima for fourth, Camry for fifth, Legacy for sixth and Malibu for seventh. My list is the most accurate and fair of all lists provided by others.
brnwrng 5pts Are you kidding me MT! Who is paying you to put the outdated, recalled, boring TOYOTA as #1. Early the Fusion was the car of the year but now it falls second to the Camry! Wow.
Elliem1963 5pts Wow! I was surprised that the guys at MT picked the Camry for first place in this comparo! But you know what? I've got to agree with their assessment. I got to drive a 4 cylinder Camry rental car back in January, and I was very impressed with the ride, the power of the 4 cylinder and even the handling. Just think if they used the Camry SE in these comparos. I think an SE version would be hard to beat.I did think that the Altima should have scored a little higher though. Again, great assessment, and, really, they're all great cars!
zoom_zoom 5pts Really? Way to sell out Motortrend. We all know that the Legacy and Fusion are better than the Camry. Particularly the Legacy.
6thgenaccordfan 5pts The survey is a bunch of BS! Why the heck is the Malibu at 24%? Like WTF, the Malibu is a POS!
bigvlad27 5pts So, where are the stats for sudden accelation and failure to stop? I find it interesting to see how low the Toyota and the Honda did in the survey and how high the Malibu and Fusion are placing. Love the magazine but I think you guys are a little off on people's new opinion of Toyota.
6thgenaccordfan 5pts Also, how the heck can you say the accord is dated when the Camry came out in 2006??? What the heck is wrong with you people? Here is my list if I was shopping for a new midsize sedan to replace my 2001 Honda Accord EX V6 sedan1. Honda Accord (Preferably the Hot Coupe)2. Ford Fusion3. Nissan Altima4. Subaru Legacy5. Hyundai Sonata (but I don't like how they have very low depreciation)6. Toyota Camry7. Chevy Malibu (Which I wouldn't even bother to test drive)
6thgenaccordfan 5pts Motor Trend, How could you pick that boring, uninteresting, piece of transportation appliance as first place in this trio. The Ford Fusion, new Hyundai Sonata, or Honda Accord should have been the top 3 and the Camry should have been just above the Malibu. Even though the Accord is in need of a refresh I would still pick it out of this group. I trust Honda the most for reliability and resale value. Not to mention it is fun to drive unlike that boring (wal-mart of family cars) Camry. The interior of that Camry is soo cheap that I think ford has surpassed Toyota for interior quality. I just don't understand why you would pick the Camry, I thought you guys liked fun to drive cars? Seriously, did Toyota pay you guys off to pick the Camry as a winner? You have lost some of my respect in your opinion on cars because of this decision.
AHuMiNa 5pts Motortrend sucks hard to make Toyota reach the north pole...I'm guessing the check is good enough to swallow~~~OHowever you're going in the wrong direction, by just mouthing...instead actually creating something *wah wah wah*On the course the objective is actually getting it in the hole, not a imaginary one =0P.S. What noise does a rooster make at sunrise?You suckers!
willjenn 5pts The only great cars are American, not some foreign car made here and then the money back to another country, FUSION is a great car
WomanOnWelfare 5pts I ben drivin hondas for years i buys them used and when they stop i can have my aunts boy take it. real nice on gas, not a fancy cars but it do.
syj1 5pts motodan:BAsed on the cars you have owned I doubt you have an objective opinion of domestic vehicles. I've been in the Sonata and the Malibu- there is no difference in materials. The Sonata has a nicer design but materials are just average for the class. Nothing to brag about but nothing to be ashamed of either. Malibu is still a great looking car three years after it debuted. Bottom line in THIS test is that camry should have been in 3rd or 4th place overall. MT conveniently omitted any mention of the car's shortcomings so they could rally to Toyota's aid during this crisis. The fact that the car has lost two other comparos here and now wins after 4 years on the market is a JOKE. The car came in third last year and now jumps to first even though its older and the 2011 Sonata is better than the old one which beat the Camry before.
motodan22 5pts I just purchased a new 2011 Sonata, I'm a 30 year old guy that has always loved cars & admired their craftsmanship. I have had a Corolla, two Accords most recently (a 2007 Accord) before I switched to this new Hyundai. Now I have to say I'm STUNNED I bought a Hyundai. They have come such a long way and this new Sonata is the best ever and by a long shot! This article is disappointing as they didn't give the car the praise it deserves. The styling is PREMIUM, the fit is SOLID, the materials and craftsmanship SUPERIOR to the Accord and Camry (I can't believe I said that). The features in this car are awesome, its got the best fuel economy/power and has a 6 speed auto w/ shift-tronic. When Im in the drivers chair I feel as those Im in an executives car, the steering wheel design feel is greatI can go on and on. Im a new Hyundai fan Honda and Toyota, they are kicking your butt. (oh yea, and the new Malibupiece of crap materials and craftsmanship, scratch the surface and it's the old GM.)
Marques0008 5pts I cannot believe how MT is so inconsistent in their test conclusions. If the accords styling is outdated, what is the camry's, which is a year older? When they did the initial accord vs camry comparo, the accord won. Was it because the accord had just been released? The fusion is the flavor of the month for now. This will change shortly....
GENCOUPE 5pts What is happening to HYUNDAI SONATA??I am SOUTH KOREAN NOT A NORTH KOREAN WHICH OFFERS KIM JUNG IL A GOOD DEAL.AND I CAN NOTICE THAT AMERICANS ARE STILL HAVING THEIR PATROLISM BY CHECKING THE RESULT OF SURVEY.AM I RIGHT??just try to enter to this one. This one is Sonata which is selled in SOUTH KOREA http://sonata.hyundai.com/It has panoramic sunroof
amphere 5pts I wonder how much advertising dollars Toyota had to geve to motortrend to get first place honors?
bbokdoong 5pts "Bar has been raised" on Sonata?Let me ask again.4 years old Toyota Camry suddenly "raised bar" for the family sedan segment?How is that possible?I know Toyota has very strong marketing (lobbying) department, but this is ridiculous.
spiagiavita 5pts Motor Trend just lost its credibility with me. I'll stop buying your magazines and tell my friends the same thing. How can you recommend Camry as the best family sedan out of this group, when Camrys can potentially kill the family? The way Motor Trend dismisses gas pedal recall issues sound just like Toyoyota executives' jargons. Wow! Is Toyoyota money that good, Motor Trend?
RobinLCarmack 5pts The Toyota Camry. What a Joke! I would never put my family in a Camry. The safety issues and the car is just plain ugly. I would rate the Malibu the best! I am not going to buy more than one car so I dont care about the rest.
Zangetsu 5pts If people thought the added votes to the Camry were fishy, look at happened to the Malibu.
Patriot300 5pts You give the Camry praise for having outdated bland radio and HVAC controls wow this is to ridicules to even try and understand Seriously how much did they pay you?! I am blown away well just look at the poll as of today the Camry sits dead last. Obviously you're customers don't think there is a shred of truth to your results- OH I AM SORRY YOUR CUSTOMER IS TOYOTA THEY BOUGHT THIS STORY!!!
Patriot300 5pts Obviously NHTSA is not the only one toyota pays bribes to! Are you kidding me? You actually put a car that kills people in the top spot? You down grade other manufacturers for aging design what is the Camry? I have not seen such a blatant sham since toyota changed floor mats to fix an electrical problem!!!
The_Pill 5pts Anyone who doubts whether the Camry is SAFE? needs to look at the latest safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). For anyone who doesn't know the IIHS rates the crash survivability of all cars on U.S. highways and the insurance premiums drivers pay. When you look at the top safety ratings,the Toyota Camry doesn't even make the cut. http://www.iihs.org/ratings/ For any Camry Sycophant who doubts this visit the IIHS and read it and weep!Motor Trend your analysis is pure tripe so is your top pick. You guys punked out!
Formber 5pts They say the Fusion didn't win because it didn't have any way to select the gear or make it sportier, thats because you didn't get the right options and packaging for that!! It should have won if that was their only complaint because it does have all that if you get the right model and options.....way to go Motor Trend!! Bravo!
phillyac 5pts Interestingly, InsideLine at Edmunds.com ran a recent article with a similar theme, and they didn't even bother including the Camry or Fusion. Sonata 1st, Mazda 6 2nd, Accord 3rd.
Toyota.Lexus 5pts Not suprized the Camry won. Very good car.The Sport V6 SE with TRD options is one freaking nice ride.

Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, painter Charlie Anderson explores contemporary culture through the sampling of imagery taken from advertising, political campaigns and the music industry. Through the juxtaposing of words, phrases, and images, he creates all new meaning, often with a satirical twist. His work recalls the weathered layers of street advertisements and subway posters, which he re-creates through the sole use of paint. Urban Exposure features canvas works as well as silkscreen prints.
Since moving to Los Angeles 12 years ago from Paris, Guillaume Zuili has been fascinated by documenting his encounters with Los Angeles and the myth of California. For Urban Exposure, Guillaume Zuili presents a series of lighted installations, re-created from collages of cut negatives developed as transparencies. Bright lights, dark places, sinister behaviors- Zuili also features one-of-a-kind solarized portraits of Los Angeles, illuminating a very different California dream.
Charlie Anderson Since graduating from the University of Edinburgh in 2009, Charlie Anderson has pissed off art collectors, curators, graffiti writers, world-renowned artists, been threatened by a leading London gallerist, and punched in the face by an artist from Edinburgh. He has also won the British Airways travel prize (2009), been short listed for the Jerwood Contemporary Painters (2010), been awarded the Meyer Oppenheim prize by the Royal Scottish Academy (2010) and collaborated with world champions Ricky Hatton and Amir Khan in association with the Knot Violence Foundation and 2012 Olympics, and music legend Ringo Starr in association with the Knot Violence Foundation.
Charlie Anderson lives & works in Edinburgh.
Guillaume Zuili Guillaume zuili has been documenting history through his black & white and double exposures since he was 21 . Through his extensive travels, he has constructed portraits of Paris, Berlin and Moscow, revealing their intricate layers of time and history. Since his move to LA from Paris in 2002, Zuili has experienced a shift in his work as a photographer. For the past several years, he has dedicated himself to exploring urban universes, particularly fascinated by California.
Guillaume Zuili has been a member of VU Agency, Paris since 1992 and currently works for the French press, Liberation, Le Monde, Telerama, and Le Nouvel Obs.

MSEd (Principal/Building Level) Graduate Program Assessment Report 2005: Assessment of Assessment Process
Submitted Fall, 2005
The faculty members have considered the following:
The department objectives are aligned with the College of Education (COE) Ten Desired Outcomes; COE Dispositions; COE Conceptual Framework; Nebraska Department of Education (NDE) Rule #24; and the National Policy Board for Educational Administration (NPBEA) Standards. The assessments are aligned with the objectives; therefore the faculty felt that the data collected is relevant to the department objectives.
The NPBEA standards provide a guide to ensure that our graduates can accomplish tasks associated with each standard and to participate in an extensive internship.
As a department, time was devoted to discussing the 2002 Triennial Graduate Survey and the assessment data was used to make department decisions.
"When asked what topics should have been covered more thoroughly during their graduate education, 25 principals responded and identified school improvement and aligning state standards with curriculum and assessment."
Documented changes based on the assessment data were the inclusion of more specific activities that focused on the alignment of state standards with curriculum and assessment and development of a special topics course with the focus on school improvement. This course has been taught the past two summers with high ratings from students.
Data from the 2005 Triennial Graduate Survey would indicate that there has been an improvement in the area of school improvement. On a scale of 1-5, there was an increase from 3.65 in 2002 to 3.78 in 2005.
The faculty members feel that there is an appropriate mix of direct and indirect assessment strategies.
Since the 2002 Triennial Graduate Survey, there has been a gradual move to offer the Educational Specialist Program online. Discussions among faculty members indicate an interest in adding questions on distance learning to the Triennial Graduate Survey.
Overall, department members believe that our assessment practices are relevant and provide excellent feedback for the evaluation of our program.

"Gone, Gone, Gone" also will serve as the "goodbye" song of the season and will be featured when the IDOL finalists are eliminated each week.

The original track is performed by multi-platinum recording artist Owl City and artist Yuna.

Bob Stein: "Build conversations around books"
With much talk in the industry about innovation, Bob Stein, leading innovator in the book space for three decades, has some advice for publishers. Make books social, build the conversation around books, hire some bright people and lock them in a room.
If they do that, they just might have a chance, he insists. "The current system of publishing doesn't really support the shape publishing is taking on as it develops," says Stein, who founded The Voyager Company in 1985, the first commercial multimedia CD-ROM publisher. But publishers are chronically slow at recognising what is happening to them and grasping the opportunities before they emerge. Stein argues that the real innovation is happening left-of-centre in sectors such as gaming, where collaborative narratives have already taken root. "The future is being born outside their field of vision," he says.
Stein is listed on Wikipedia as a "computer pioneer", but he would call himself a publisher. "The idea of publishing is to move ideas around time and space," is how he sees it. He has been described as "the publisher born before his time, born before the printing presses were good enough to do the things he wanted to do". His email address begins with "future of the book".
He has been demonstrating and talking about what publishers should do before they get rolled over by the digital revolution for three decades. He recounts how he would travel to publisher conferences and attempt to demonstrate how we might read in the future, with a PowerBook. "Publishers looked at me, and said: 'That is for geeks.' That was a deadly error. Their businesses are now owned by Amazon and Google."
Stein believes the industry is similarly poised as it was back then, with publishers rightly focused on their plain-vanilla e-book business, but unaware about how things will develop. His big idea now is "social reading", the concept that in the future texts will become one part of a much larger conversation that happens around them, with notes and context shared on a collaborative platform.
He says electronic publishing will not "really take off until you see audio and pictures in a social platform", and then the market will develop in a similar way to how games have morphed into social environments, citing "World of Warcraft" as an example of how narratives might then be transformed with reader interaction.
Stein is currently working on SocialBook—a reading platform that allows users to interact with texts, leave notes, and begin conversations around those books. The site will have free and paid-for areas, though the commercial model is not yet finalised. "It begins as YouTube for social documents in the free space, but then we'll build Amazon for publishing," says Stein.
Stein believes that in the future editors will use the platform to curate lists on SocialBook, while readers will engage with them publicly. The site, he says, could charge a subscription for access to those texts (and the conversation). "I'd adopt a free to read, pay to engage model. It may not work for all titles. But in essence, we will redefine the value of content to include engagement with the content."
Stein says he has 15 people working on the platform, but says he will need finance to take it to the next stage. "I was hoping publishers would invest, but I don't know now." In fact, he says the reaction of publishers has been worryingly familiar. "This time when we talk about social, I think publishers look at that and say, 'yeh, yeh, that's not important right now', but if they do that they are more wrong this time than they were last time. It took 16 years for the Kindle to emerge—it won't take 16 years for social reading to emerge."
Stein cites himself as an example. He says that when he bought Hunger Games, he bought it only from Amazon because they would save his notes. In the future, he says, kids won't know of texts that don't have a commmentary. "They won't understand why you wouldn't want to do things in the open and in public."
Stein believes social will increase the value around content, and also help to address the issue of piracy. "Publishers are in for a huge shock when piracy hits," he says. Stein believes you cannot protect those files, but if you provide the right platform and context on which to interact socially with digital texts, you can charge for that.
"If they'd embrace social, once people start saving the mark-ups, the notes around novels, and then saving that in the cloud, piracy falls away. Once it becomes social, then having a commercial platform becomes important, because you want to interact with other people and you want to save those notes for the future."
Stein, like many among the digerati, is clearly irked by the big publishers' unwillingness to disrupt their own business models and invest in real innovation. But he is clear-eyed about how to make it happen. "This is not a money problem. You take the very best and brightest young kids you can hire, put them in an office, do not connect them to the legacy business, and let them do something exciting. But don't give them any money. The reason it won't happen is that publishers want the smart people to buy the next big book."
Will publishers heed his advice this time around? "People think I'm nuts," he says. But he was right before, and he might be right again.
