QUICK LOOK BACK: Even with a cornerback who could be Iowa's lone draft pick this April, Iowa's secondary had some numbers the entire group will want to erase from memory.
The Hawkeyes allowed opponents to complete 63.5 percent (224 of 353) of its passes. A lot goes into that number, including pass rush, but that is the highest completion percent ever allowed by an Iowa defense. Since Iowa's near-championship season in '09, the completion percent allowed has climbed, going from 49.6 that season to 62.2, 62.0 and 63.5 last season.
Also in '09, Iowa led the Big Ten in yards per attempt (which basically measures if it's worth it for your opponent to try to pass against you) with 5.2. Since that season, it's gone 6.3 (respectable and second in the B1G in '10), 7.2 and 7.5 last season.
The way Iowa plays defense — over/under 4-3 with mostly zone coverage and not a ton of blitzing — puts a lot of pressure on the front four to provide a pass rush. We went over this with "Four Downs" on the D-line. The 8.5 sacks from last season were the fewest by an Iowa D-line in the last six seasons. Iowa had 30 sacks in 2009, and hey, look at the numbers in regard to the secondary that season — 49.6 in opponent's completion percentage, 5.2 yards per attempt.
Some other passing numbers from '12: Iowa was 92nd in the country in completion percentage (57.8) on third down; Iowa was 89th in pass efficiency defense; Iowa's 41 first downs allowed through the air was tied for 69th; opponents completed 22 passes of more than 15 yards against the Hawkeyes (106th).
It all goes together. That said, safety play has to improve.
Junior Nico Law (6-1, 200) replaced Tommy Donatell in the lineup for the final four games and showed the learning curve you'd think a true sophomore getting his first starts would have. Senior Tanner Miller struggled. Simply put, it was a year of bad angles and late arrivals. If anything was lost in the translation between Phil Parker moving from defensive backs to defensive coordinator last season, it was safety play.
FOURTH DOWN — CONCERNS: We touched on safety and that will remain a concern until it's not.
Miller (6-2, 207) had an excellent sophomore season, his first as starter at free safety. He tied for the team lead with three interceptions, including a 98-yard TD return against Northwestern that essentially exorcised the demonic spirit that Dan Persa was to the Hawkeyes. He finished fourth on the team in tackles and had three tackles for loss.
All those numbers but tackles for loss were down last season.
The pieces were in place for Miller. He came off a solid sophomore year, a year of growth. He seemed poised to make the leap. Then, there was a coaching change, with Phil Parker moving from defensive backs to coordinator and Darrell Wilson sliding over to secondary. Even after an Iowa win last season, Wilson and Miller ran off the field together with Wilson still trying to make a point. Miller shook his head and uttered an expletive.
Here's the percentage game we've been playing here. There are no real answers. 1) How much did the coaching change matter? Wilson left for a job at Rutgers after Kirk Ferentz asked him to move to running backs. Parker is back with the defensive backs and is still the coordinator. Parker coached defensive backs at Iowa for 13 years and 11 years at Toledo before that. He also was an all-Big Ten safety at Michigan State. His return to the secondary can't hurt. But one factor that shades this is Iowa didn't play a new scheme last season. Wilson or Parker, no one was asked to do anything differently in the secondary (Cover 2, matchup zone).
2) Physical mistakes were made. To say otherwise would be disingenuous. Is there legit competition here? Right now, it's junior John Lowdermilk (6-2, 207) and, maybe, redshirt freshman Anthony Gair (6-2, 200). Maybe redshirt frosh Ruben Lile (6-3, 210), who's coming off a torn ACL. Greg Mabin (6-2, 190) is probably a year away from seeing time in the defense and moving from WR at the beginning of spring practice. That said, do you see a change here? No, no you don't. Ball's in Miller's court.
Law just kind of ran around at times last season. He made the first starts of his career. Last year is over, so what has he learned? The answer to that question is kind of a big deal.
"I'm working on everything," Law said last week. "Last year was my first time touching the field. I got a little experience. I'm a little more comfortable back there, a little more confident. Now, it's just working on the little kinks and little details."
Law spoke of knowing things before they happen, being a coach on the field. He said he wasn't at that level last season, but feels as though he's there now.
By the way, the corner opposite senior B.J. Lowery (5-11, 193) is open and, yes, that's kind of a big deal, too.
Sophomore Jordan Lomax (5-10, 195) is the front runner after missing '12 with a torn labrum that required surgery. From injured to starter is quite a jump. Sophomore Sean Draper (6-0, 180) draws high work out marks and might be ready. He played some nickel and dime package last season. Also, sophomore Kevin Buford (5-10, 180) played some extra-defensive back packages as a true frosh last season.
THIRD DOWN — ADDITIONS/SUBTRACTIONS: Micah Hyde was arguably the most credible voice for a 4-8 team that ended the season with six consecutive losses. Why? Hyde did it on the field. He ended up with one interception, a low for his three seasons as a starter, but he had 14 pass breakups, forced two fumbles and returned another fumble for a 9-yard TD that gave Iowa a chance for victory against Purdue.
Hyde also had a well-publicized public intoxication arrest during the team's off week. He showed up that Tuesday and answered all the questions. He might be Iowa's lone pick in April's NFL draft.
Tommy Donatell lost his strong safety job to law, but stayed engaged on special teams and in nickel packages. His dad, Ed, is a longtime coach in the NFL. Expect Donatell to follow a similar path. Donatell and fellow senior Greg Castillo tied with linebacker Christian Kirksey for the team lead in interceptions last season with two apiece. The highlight for Castillo, in and out of the lineup through out his
career, was sealing the Michigan State victory with an interception in the second OT.
Parker isn't afraid of using freshman in the secondary. This year's recruiting class has a developmental feel, but never say never here.
Desmond King (5-11, 185) — King snared 29 career interceptions at Detroit's East English Village Prep, which plays in a league that doesn't have a lot of passing. " Tremendous athlete and even a better attitude. He's a kid who makes you feel good when you're around him. I think he's one of the steals of in our class. I think he is really a good football player," Iowa recruiting coordinator Eric Johnson.
Malik Rucker (6-0, 170) — Iowa brought him in as a corner, but he could make the move to safety. From all accounts, he's a hitter. "The way he has no regard for his body and just throws that thing around, the physicality he plays with . . . He loves the game," Johnson said.
Solomon Warfield (6-0, 185) – Warfield is coming in as a safety. "Solomon Warfield is a head hunter. He's the strong safety to Malik Rucker's free safety. And I think those two complement each other extremely well in this class. Warfield does have some deficiencies in pass coverage, not that those can't be fixed. He's very rangy but more in a run support aspect. He's a guy who can come up from that safety spot and be almost like an extra linebacker, because he hits like a linebacker," Rivals.com midwest recruiting analyst Josh Helmholdt.
SECOND DOWN — BATTLES BREWING: Just that one corner spot is open.
Lomax played as a true freshman. If he would've been healthy last season, either Draper or Buford might've kept a redshirt. Lomax was among the first preps from Baltimore/Maryland to come to Iowa. Aside from one big season from RB Marcus Coker in '11, the big payoff has yet to happen. That could change this year with Law (Clinton, Md.), DT Darian Cooper (Elkridge, Md.) and Lomax (Upper Marlboro, Md.) in the starting lineup.
Draper seems poised to be the No. 3 corner this season and perhaps a starter in place of Lowery in '14. But he won't be handed that and Buford, sophomore Torrey Campbell (5-11, 188) and redshirt freshman Maurice Fleming (6-0, 188) will contend. In fact, this spring Fleming is listed as Lowery's backup.
This position group doesn't lack young, capable bodies. The question is can they develop quickly enough to provide real competition at safety? There might not be a change in the lineup there, but competition will make it better. (A good example is Jordan Bernstein/Collin Sleeper in 2011. Bernstein was the better player, his teammates made some noise — Shaun Prater made as much as he could without being banned for life from media — and the switch was made in week 3. Can Iowa find that at safety? Does it need to?)
FIRST DOWN — WHAT COULD HAPPEN: Lowery is the star of the group. He missed two games and was kind of in and out for two others with a high-ankle sprain, but Parker has depended on him to make big plays (Lowery pretty much won the '11 Michigan game). That will continue.
Lowery is a tough tackler and physical in coverage. A big year gets him on the draft radar.
– What's a realistic goal for opponent's completion percentage? Remember, it's not all on this group. There's a mathematics between QB pressure, sacks and how successful teams can be through the air. That said, Iowa has allowed QBs to complete 62.0 percent or better in the last three seasons, including the 63.5 percent last season, which looks to be the worst in school history.
– Interceptions don't require any analysis. More is better. Last season, Iowa had 10, which was No. 78 in the nation. In '11, it also was 10 and No. 73 in the nation. The three-year run before that was stellar — 19 (T 11th), 21 (T 5th) and 23 (4th). More are better. Plus, you saw the offense last season. It needs all the possessions it can get.
– Linebackers coach Jim Reid coordinated Viriginia's defense last season. The Cavaliers' overall product was a stinker, but they did finish 28th in the nation in total defense, so Reid, 62, knows defense. He repeated what Iowa has repeated for going on 15 years under Ferentz.
"It all starts up front on offense and defense," Reid said when asked how much of the team's success is tied to the D-line holding up its end of the deal. "And then the linebackers are the heart. They tie in the front and they tie in the secondary. On the back end are the guys who make the dynamic plays and have to have great daring and great understanding.
"So, it's all together, but looking you square in the eye, and I could be wrong…coach Ferentz might have a different view, but in my humble view, it all starts up front."
I think calling Miller's 2011 season "excellent" is a bit of a stretch; "competent" or "servicable" come more readily to mind. Which is fine for a sophomore, first-time starter. But, like Shada before him, Miller would have a lot of shaky/sub-par play punctuated by a huge INT and return, skewing his statistics. Basically, he looked good on paper, but didn't pass the "eye test". The big difference, as I see it, between 2011 and 2012 was the relative youth and inexperience around him, thus his mistakes (and those of others in the secondary) were much more glaring because they weren't being covered by seasoned vets like Prater, Bernstine and Hyde, all of whom had been starters or key reserves previously. Instead, in 2012, Miller was there with first-time starters Lowery and Donatell/Law. I don't think Miller "regressed" as much as others do last year, but that's largely a function that I didn't think he had progressed much in 2011.
And I don't want to pick on Miller. Last season, the defense was so bad, in almost every facet of the game, that NO ONE should be assumed to have a starter's role based only on incumbency. I'm of the opinion that EVERYONE (with the possible exception of Kirksey) needs to prove that he deserves to be starting/playing and starting in 2012 is almost a strike against you. No one on the D should be listing 2012 as an accolade on their resume.
I'll give you that, Max. Sophomore season, let's go with "promising."
Can't disagree with your post. It's not and rarely is just one guy, especially the way Iowa plays D (4-3, two-gap, zone city, leverage aware).

Short, but sweet this week in the Acquia podcast: Drupal 8 Accessibility Maintainer Mike Gifford, and accessibility contributor Vincenzo Rubano talk about DrupalCon Portland and say thanks for all the help that allowed Vincenzo to attend DrupalCon Portland and begin to make a difference in person.
Here is one more conversation I had at Drupal Camp Alpe-Adria in April, 2013. Ranko Marinic is from Croatia and has some great perspectives. He works as an IT consultant with a wide range of technologies and with Drupal "by night". He is studying economics and has become interested in the economic effects on local communities of implementing open source software. Ranko also talks about the moment he really started believing in open source as a social movement.
Last Friday the annual one-day DrupalJam conference was held in the Rotterdam Feyenoord soccer stadium. The conference, which saw its eighth edition - if I recall correctly - is shifting to be more business focused with its new motto Drupal beyond the code, and was a great success with over a 100 participants. This blog post serves as a high-level summary of a couple of the talks that I attended.
Are you a project manager working for a company adopting Drupal? Are you new to managing Drupal projects? This course is the right one for you!
This course follows the life cycle of a Drupal project from start to finish and back again and is based on our full day Drupal for Project Manager's course.
Here are the highlights from a few of the conversations I had with attendees of the 2013 Drupal Camp Alpe-Adria, held in April in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The camp was a wild success and attracted a large, international crowd. I'll post a couple more interviews I did at this event in coming weeks.
Hey developers ~ new, experienced or otherwise, undecided!
This week's podcast features two Drupal Scots: Duncan Davidson (recorded live in a back alley right after Drupal Camp Scotland 2013) and Brian Ward (recorded via Skype, post-event). Duncan is the Scottish regional manager and UK Professional Services Manager for i-KOS and Brian is a developer at heehaw.digital in Edinburgh.
Here are notes from the 2nd class in our Views mini-course.
Many people have asked how COD, otherwise known as the Conference Organizing Distribution, is going. Currently its a community supported project, with lots of great new features going into the 7.x branch!
This weekend, Acquia was at Linuxfest Northwest (LFNW, http://www.linuxfestnorthwest.org), a regional conference of about 1500 open source enthusiasts, and COD was running behind the scenes to help make the fest run as smoothly as possible.

Abstract emotion
Abstract paintings of Inge Strack (pictured) are on display through March 9 at the Gumenick Family Gallery at The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen. Strack, a Chestefield painter of German origin, often paints in bold colors with a deep sense of emotion, focusing on brushstrokes, texture and form to find a balance. Strack's painting is routed in the European tradition of expressionism but has found its own, unique language in following the American dream.
"I am not attempting to abstract the physical world," she said. "I draw my subject matter from inside of myself hoping to create a constant conversation between the viewer and the painting, especially since abstracts do not seem to answer but ask." > Read more.

When you're hungry, choose from healthy, made-to-order dishes at our food courts, or dine at one of our national brand restaurants, including Subway, Starbucks, Einstein Bagels, and Smoothie King. Our Mug Project and reusable to-go boxes aim to eliminate single-use cups and containers from our dining facilities. All food waste is composted and reused for campus landscaping.
Sustainability-minded student residents can lead as Eco Vols, a Make Orange Green initiative dedicated to reducing residence hall energy consumption. Switch Your Thinking, an aggressive campaign to reduce energy consumption on campus, is inspiring our entire community to think differently about energy use. For instance, our electric bicycle–sharing program and other student bike rental programs make forsaking your car a great option for commuting between classes.
UT students are known for their Volunteer spirit. The Center for Leadership and Service offers a true Vol experience through alternative break trips and other ongoing service opportunities. Along with a host of outreach programs, there are volunteer opportunities with UT Recycling, the Student Success Center, and VolsTeach.

As a leading provider in holiday accommodation in Southern Thailand, Krabi Riviera Co Ltd is delighted to announce a recent surge of activity in Krabis tourism industry. With some of Asias major airlines increasing their flights to Krabi International Airport, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has announced high occupancy rates in Krabi hotels during the current high season.
(PRWEB) February 13, 2014
Krabi has become increasingly popular as a holiday destination over the past few years. In spite of this, this beautiful province has maintained a typical Thai atmosphere, and its stunning coastal landscape has not been spoilt by excessive development. Thailands dynamic tourism authority has noted the rising popularity of Krabi as a focal point for tourism in Southern Thailand, and TATs recent findings suggest that hotel occupancy rates in the province currently average on 95 percent. Whats more, this trend looks set to continue in the near future due to the high number of reservations that have been made with Krabis holiday accommodation companies.
TATs findings are extremely encouraging for Thailands tourism industry, although it is hardly surprising that Krabi has performed so well this season. The provinces location on the Andaman coast is certainly a massive draw for those seeking a holiday beside the sea, and there are a number of idyllic beaches that provide the perfect setting for relaxing in the sun. Krabi also holds many attractions for tourists seeking adventure due to its excellent rock climbing opportunities and its fascinating marine life that is just waiting to be explored by diving and snorkelling enthusiasts. It seems that Krabi really does have something to offer everyone visiting this beautiful location.
Krabis position as a tourism hotspot has not gone unnoticed by the airlines operating in Asia. In fact, Nok Air, Malaysia Airlines and Air Asia have all increased their flights to Krabi International Airport to satisfy customer demand for transport links to the area. These additional services have undoubtedly increased the passenger traffic through the airport, although a significant investment programme carried out during the period 2003 - 2005 has ensured that the airports infrastructure is well prepared to cope with this increase. The airport has fast become a significant asset to Krabis tourism industry and it currently operates 24 hours a day.
Naturally, Krabis success during the current high season is pleasing news for Krabi Riviera Co Ltd. The company manages a notable portfolio of holiday villas in the Ao Nang area, and only those properties meeting the highest standards in style and comfort are included in the portfolio. As a result, Krabi Rivieras guests can look forward to enjoying properties with designer kitchens, luxurious bathrooms and private swimming pools, and a personal concierge service is also provided to ensure that guests enjoy a memorable, carefree holiday. Clearly, the company is a key participant in Krabis tourism industry, and its management and staff takes pride in offering only the highest standards in customer service.
With the combination of a superb location, beautiful scenery and some outstanding holiday accommodation, Krabis tourism industry deserves its current success and looks set to enjoy even further success in the future.

Portage Police Chief Troy Williams says the two homicides in the last two months that the city has recently experienced is very concerning, but assures residents that officers will continue to make sure they are safe. Chief Williams says the message from the beginning of the year to keep residents informed of both the "good and bad" has not changed, as methods such as Facebook to inform Portage residents was used Monday, when 38 year old Wilson Rivera of Indianapolis, formerly of Gary, was shot and killed. Williams says the degree of solving this case will be difficult, but as with the case of the 72 year old Portage man who whose death is believed to be a contract killing, police will continue to work tirelessly to put the suspected killer behind bars.

In "The Tempest," William Shakespeare observed that, "What's past is prologue." This means that many of the events of 2012 have set the stage for the coming year.
One of those events was the firing of Jorea Marple as the state superintendent of schools.
Marple deserved a more dignified end to her years of service as a teacher, principal and administrator than the public spectacle of a ham-handed dismissal.
But under her leadership, the state Department of Education's response to a report calling for reform was lethargic to the point of obstructionism.
What West Virginia is doing is not working for students. Perhaps Marple's departure will trigger action on long-overdue reforms of personnel policy and other micromanagement by the Legislature.
For the sake of the next generation, let us hope so.

The summer derecho and the Sandy blizzard near Halloween, as well as the natural gas pipeline explosion in Sissonville, tested the state's emergency response efforts.
First responders, power crews, National Guardsmen and West Virginia Paving passed the test with flying colors. The state is forever indebted to those power crews who came from out of state to turn the lights (and air-conditioners) back on.
But the disasters also brought to the fore the infrastructure problems West Virginians face.
Modernizing the grids that bring natural gas, water and electricity to our homes will be costly.
But emergencies have a way of revealing what is really important in life. Heating and cooling turn out to be very, very important.

Embargoed for Release Contact: Ashley MattysNovember 6, 2011 312-558-1770 email@example.com Unplug Indoor Pollutants For A Breath Of Fresh AirAllergists say home fragrance products may cause respiratory problems
BOSTON—Sales of home air fresheners and scented candles are on the rise and so are respiratory problems in homes where these products are used, according to allergists at the annual scientific meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) in Boston, Nov 3-8.
"This is a much bigger problem than people realize," said Stanley Fineman, MD, ACAAI president-elect. "About 20 percent of the population and 34 percent of people with asthma report health problems from air fresheners. We know air freshener fragrances can trigger allergy symptoms, aggravate existing allergies and worsen asthma." Home fragrance products may smell "fresh," but Dr. Fineman warns many of these products contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and are merely "covering up" —not eliminating—odors in the home. VOCs commonly found in air fresheners include: formaldehyde, petroleum distillates, limonene, esters and alcohols.Studies show that even VOC exposure levels below currently accepted recommendations increase risk of asthma in children. High concentrations of VOCs can trigger eye and respiratory tract irritation, headaches, dizziness, and even memory impairment. In his presentation, Dr. Fineman discusses a study of plug-in deodorizers that included more than 20 different VOCs with more than one third of those classified as toxic or hazardous.Despite research showing some air fresheners contain VOCs at toxic or hazardous levels based on federal guidelines, the home fragrance industry is expected to see continued growth, reaching $8.3 billion in global sales by 2015. So, why the fondness for air fresheners?
"There has been a shift among home fragrance consumers that pleasant smelling homes are not just for the holidays," Dr. Fineman said. "We also are seeing a trend by manufacturers to market these products as aromatherapy which implies health and mood-boosting benefits although there are no scientific studies to support these claims."
For consumers who desire a fresh scent without the associated health risks, Dr. Fineman recommends opening windows to let in Mother Nature rather than selecting products labeled "organic" or "green.""Products marketed as 'all-natural' or even those that are unscented can emit hazardous chemicals" said Dr. Fineman. "The safest option is to avoid exposure to pollutants that air fresheners emit."While Dr. Fineman believes consumers need to be aware of what they are bringing into their homes, he also adds that allergists need to be vigilant about asking patients about exposure to scented products, and they need to keep this potential trigger on their radar.Allergists have the training and expertise to treat more than just the allergy symptoms. Those who suspect home fragrances may be triggering allergy symptoms, aggravating existing allergies or worsening asthma should see an allergist—a doctor who is an expert in diagnosing and treating allergies and asthma.

10 Best Cars for Young Drivers, 2013
Got a high-schooler, college student or new graduate who needs a car? We went shopping for youth-friendly wheels (no Camrys or Malibus) with a value spin. The new and used vehicles we found won't bust your (or their) budget, and they get high marks for safety and reliability.
All these vehicles received a Top Safety Pick designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (its crash tests are more extensive than government tests). And all of our picks have stability control and at least six airbags. We used Consumer Reports' used-car verdicts to help choose vehicles with above-average reliability.
Used-car prices are from Edmunds.com and assume clean condition and 12,000 miles per year. (Certified vehicles cost more because they are inspected and sold with an additional warranty.) New cars are listed with sticker price, invoice price and True Market Value from Edmunds to give you an idea of negotiating room. Five-year service costs (expected outlays for maintenance and repairs) are from Vincentric.
Be sure to read our tips for buying a new car and getting a deal on a used car in today's market before you head to the lot.

Best Cars for Young Drivers 2013
2010 Honda Civic

Dealer price: $16,966 (EX-L with Navi)
Private-party price: $15,652
Certified price: $17,827
5-year service costs: $5,713
MPG (city/hwy): 25/36
Known for reliability, Honda's Civic is a perennial pick for good value. To get the tech features we wanted, we chose the top-of-the-line EX-L with Navigation. The good news is that the three-year-old Civic costs about one-third less than the new version. Besides navigation, Bluetooth and a USB port are standard, and the Civic gets 36 miles per gallon on the highway.

Dealer price: $12,043 (Soul +)
Private-party price: $10,788
Certified price: $13,407
5-year service costs: $6,145
MPG (city/hwy): 24/30
With its funky looks and plentiful amenities, such as standard Bluetooth and USB, the Soul + is a bargain. It handles like a go-kart but doesn't have too much power. There's plenty of room in the back -- the Soul has 39 inches of rear legroom and 19 cubic feet of cargo space -- to give the 'rents a ride or pack up for the drive to college.

Dealer price: $18,000
Private-party price: $16,520
Certified price: $19,273
5-year service costs: $8,114
MPG (city/hwy): 18/27
For an upscale feel that will last long past graduation, the MKZ has heated mirrors and a heated and cooled ten-way adjustable driver's seat. Plus, the MKZ features Ford's SYNC system, which includes Bluetooth, a USB port, 911 assist, turn-by-turn navigation (directions are downloaded to the vehicle, spoken to the user over the vehicle's audio system and displayed on the radio) and real-time traffic information. Models equipped with navigation include ten gigabytes of music storage, a blind-spot warning system and a rearview camera.

Private-party price: $11,718
Certified price: $13,645
5-year service costs: $5,655
MPG (city/hwy): 22/28
This boxy hatch -- along with the rest of Scion's lineup -- was created with younger drivers in mind. Made by Toyota, it features the parent company's quality at a lower price -- with looks only a millennial could love. Oodles of interior space -- 38 inches of rear legroom and nearly 22 cubic feet of cargo space -- is complemented by a peppy engine that puts out 158 horses. Look for a model with the optional Blu Logic hands-free system -- an iPod input is included.

Dealer price: $17,972 (2.5i Limited)
Private-party price: $16,918
Certified price: $18,984
5-year service costs: $8,566
MPG (city/hwy): 23/31
Subaru prides itself on safety. Every year, its entire lineup lands on the IIHS Top Safety Pick list, and 2010 was no exception. Standard all-wheel drive delivers a sporty driving feel -- and peace of mind during bad weather. A redesign in 2010 gave the Legacy a sculpted exterior reminiscent of BMW's 3-series, and more upscale materials inside. Bluetooth is standard on the Limited trim; models with navigation add a USB connection and a rearview camera.

Sticker price: $22,000 (LX)
Invoice price: $21,085
Edmunds TMV: $21,197
5-year service costs: $2,473
MPG (city/hwy): 21/30
Kia's compact crossover offers a higher seat than sedans, which gives drivers a better view of the road. Hill assist control allows easier starts on the steepest slopes (it holds the car in place for the second or two it takes to move your foot from the brake to the gas), and direct-injection technology helps the Sportage achieve 30 mpg on the highway. Bluetooth and USB are standard, and you can add a rearview camera for $1,500.

Sticker price: $21,195 (ES)
Invoice price: $20,335
Edmunds TMV: $20,290
5-year service costs: $2,646
MPG (city/hwy): 25/31
Mitsubishi's small SUV has scored high for reliability for years. Plus, the IIHS just gave the Outlander Sport a Top Safety Pick + award, meaning that it passed the new small-overlap crash test that simulates hitting a tree or telephone pole. Bluetooth and USB are standard on the ES version. Environmentally conscious drivers will appreciate the regenerative braking system (typically found on electric vehicles and hybrids), which captures energy that helps keep the battery charged and boosts fuel economy to 31 mpg on the highway.

Sticker price: $23,650 (2.5 S)
Invoice price: $21,695
Edmunds TMV: $21,324
5-year service costs: $3,633
MPG (city/hwy): 27/38
The redesigned Altima sedan has Infiniti-esque good looks and stellar fuel economy (38 mpg on the highway). The 2.5 S features Bluetooth with streaming audio and steering-wheel controls that put phone calls and music at your fingertips. A smart monitoring system displays each tire's pressure, and if the tires need air, Nissan's Easy-Fill Tire Alert honks the horn to let you know when each tire is properly inflated.

Sticker price: $21,065 (2.0i Premium)
Invoice price: $20,085
Edmunds TMV: $20,023
5-year service costs: $4,505
MPG (city/hwy): 27/36
A redesign last year gave this compact a striking new look, better fuel economy (36 mpg on the highway) and more standard features. As always with Subarus, sure-footed handling comes baked in, thanks to standard all-wheel drive. On the 2.0i Premium, auto-off headlights preserve the battery, and steering-wheel buttons control audio and hands-free calls. Bluetooth includes audio streaming, so you can select a playlist on your phone and play it over the car audio system.

2013 Toyota Prius

Sticker price: $24,995 (Two)
Invoice price: $23,543
Edmunds TMV: $23,700
5-year service costs: $3,436
MPG (city/hwy): 51/48
Environmentalists young and old(er) will appreciate the earth-friendly statement the Prius makes. It's wallet-friendly, too -- the combined city/highway fuel economy is 50 mpg, and it costs less to own over five years than a less expensive (and only slightly larger) Camry. The anti-lockout feature means no midnight calls to deliver an extra set of keys. A driver's knee airbag provides an added layer of safety. Bluetooth and USB are standard.

Former Nickleodeon star Amanda Bynes is "making great strides toward recovery," an attorney for Amanda's parents tells RumorFix.
The 27-year-old was put on a psychiatric hold after she tried to torch the driveway of a stranger. The hold was due to expire on Monday, but attorneys held a Lanterman-Petis-Short proceeding and Amanda's mom was granted LPS conservatorship over her daughter, which means Lynn Bynes can make all medical and financial decisions for the troubled star.
"It is for this reason, and in an effort not to duplicate conservator rights, that Mrs. Bynes decided to withdraw her Petition for Conservatorship of her daughter in the probate courts this morning," Tamar Arminak tells RumorFix.
The Bynes will go to court on December 17, 2013 for a probate conservatorship, which means they could be in control of where Amanda lives and what to do with her property.
Tamar also confirms that Amanda has changed facilities again. TMZ claims Bynes moved to The Canyon, a well-known celebrity rehab facility that specializes in treating addiction and mental disorder.
Tamar didn't disclose the location, but told us, "Currently, upon recommendation by the skilled healthcare professionals at UCLA Medical Center, Amanda is receiving specialized treatment in a private facility outside of Los Angeles."
And the good news: "Amanda is making great strides towards recovery. The entire Bynes family would like to ask that they be given some measure of privacy so they can focus on Amanda's health and well-being. The Bynes family would also like to thank all of Amanda's supporters and well-wishers for their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time."

Victor Robinson was charged with six felony counts including rape and endangerment of a child.
The victim was a 13-year old girl.
"It didn't make what my son did was right, okay?" says his father Victor Robinson Sr. "He was with a younger girl throw the book at him for that."
But Robinson's father blames the 13-year old for his son's troubles.
"He brought this girl to the house and she had no problem convincing me and my wife and my son that she was 17 years of age," he says. "I met this girl, she come over to the house, she says she was 17."
Robinson says his son and the 13-year old met on Facebook. He showed ABC 4 the girl's Facebook and it did appear to be provocative.
The girl's mother was asked about her daughter's Facebook.
"Where did you get all this stuff?" she asked.
It was apparent she was unaware of her daughter's Facebook.
"You know what?" she asked. "You need to leave now."
Prosecutors say regardless of the girl's behavior, it's against the law for an adult to engage in sex with a minor.
By Thursday afternoon, the 13-year old's Facebook page was removed.
