That quality of wanting "to show off money" is very typical in Latin America...at least in the tropical regions I have lived in. People will buy cars and homes they cannot afford just for the "prestige".
January 23rd 2014, by D.H. & R.L.W.
THE Big Mac index was invented by The Economist in 1986 as a lighthearted guide to whether currencies are at their "correct" level. It is based on the theory of purchasing-power parity (PPP), the notion that in the long run exchange rates should move towards the rate that would equalise the prices of an identical basket of goods and services (in this case, a burger) in any two countries. For example, the average price of a Big Mac in America in January 2014 was $4.62; in China it was only $2.74 at market exchange rates. So the "raw" Big Mac index says that the yuan was undervalued by 41% at that time.
Burgernomics was never intended as a precise gauge of currency misalignment, merely a tool to make exchange-rate theory more digestible. Yet the Big Mac index has become a global standard, included in several economic textbooks and the subject of at least 20 academic studies. For those who take their fast food more seriously, we have also calculated a gourmet version of the index.
This adjusted index addresses the criticism that you would expect average burger prices to be cheaper in poor countries than in rich ones because labour costs are lower. PPP signals where exchange rates should be heading in the long run, as a country like China gets richer, but it says little about today's equilibrium rate. The relationship between prices and GDP per person may be a better guide to the current fair value of a currency. The adjusted index uses the "line of best fit" between Big Mac prices and GDP per person for 48 countries (plus the euro area). The difference between the price predicted by the red line for each country, given its income per person, and its actual price gives a supersized measure of currency under- and over-valuation.
User guide:
The 'Select base currency' button allows you to choose from five base currencies: the yuan, the euro, the yen, sterling and the US dollar. You can also choose to see the index in its original 'raw' form, or adjusted for GDP per person. By default, the panel at the bottom displays a scatter chart plotting the local price of a Big Mac (expressed in the current base currency) against GDP per person in that country. Select individual points for details.
As you explore the map, the scatter chart will be replaced by a line chart plotting the highlighted country's under- or over-valuation against the current base currency over time. You can select a country on the map to 'freeze' it (with the exception of Internet Explorer), allowing you to mouse over/tap the line chart and see detailed indicators for your selection over time. To 'unfreeze' the map, click/tap on the highlighted country again.

NOTE: As of January 2014, the Big Mac index has been adapted to include Latvia as part of the euro area. South Africa's Big Mac price has been revised.

That quality of wanting "to show off money" is very typical in Latin America...at least in the tropical regions I have lived in. People will buy cars and homes they cannot afford just for the "prestige".
I agree, but Starbucks is not in as many countries as McDs.....yet.
Set aside the scientific details about economics, cultural and dietary variations, etc, this index works quite fine to its self-proclaimed purpose: "...a tool to make exchange-rate theory more digestible.". Simple is good. On the other hand, from a statistical point of view, this new "gourmet" versions presents us perhaps the most meaningful model "residuals" I have ever seen. :)
Argentina could be moved to the 5th spot from the bottom between Ukraine and Egypt.
Reference is the 17 pesos price of Big Macs in Argentina and the street market price for dollars in Argentina (7.2 as per http://dolarblue.net/ and own experience).
You can read about how Argentina fudged the index by making McDonalds keep the price artificially low:
The Big Mac in India isn't made with Beef. It's Mutton.
Perhaps that is why the Indian Rupee appears so undervalued.
Does the list consider that in the US prices are quoted at point of sale /before/ adding tax, and in many countries prices are quoted /including/ tax?
This chart explains why Venezuela has devaluated its currency, and maybe, what countries could be the next.
In South America is very clear that Colombia, Uruguay (and specially) Brazil need to devalue their currencies.
Love this. Will be great for my International Finance Class.
Are the Big Macs Pre or Post VAT and/or sales tax? cause that makes a huge difference in country with high tax rates.
Opps. China would be relieved to see that India has the most undervalued currency in the world.
The so called big mac index is nothing other than a joke. The true measure of whether a currency is over or under valued is the relative trade balance. So if China is running a huge trade surplus with say the EU than its currency is undervalued. If China is runing a trade deficit than its currency is overvalued in relation to the currency in use in the EU.
This explains why China will never have a freely floating currency and explains why any country that wants to prop up its manufacturing must in some way or another manipulate its currency.
Big mac indexes have nothing to do with trade nor actual currency values. They are just a fictional joke.
Because burgers are awesome.
Another perverse effect of Gaussian and regression? And if were comparing what is comparable: the price of a Big Mac menu in Shanghai is 19 RMB, the price of a basic meal in one of the many popular eateries in the city. Nothing to do with the weakness of the USD.
This is a very cool chart. Congratulation to the geeks. Great job guys!
You are absolutely right....30 years ago, in the absence of any big multi national fast food chain in Bombay, India, my parents took me and my brother on a 30 minute drive to a restaurant which supposedly served the best burgers...an evening of fine dining for the family:)
Actually the price of about 1 or 1.5 liter of local bottled water is a great gauge of the currency.
Sir, you don't understand the point.
As a Swedish expat living in Thailand, I have always tried to make sense of "what is expensive?" in my daily shopping.
Funny enough, the NOMINAL values of the Baht and Krona (what's printed on the notes) seem to be correlated in some mysterious fashion.
Example: a can of tuna costs approx 35 "money" in both countries. Also, a t-shirt is 100, and so on.
This comparison excludes certain goods like gasolin, tobacco and alcohol, etc (which are subj to tax abnormalities).
I have found this to be a valid instrument for the last 30 years: if the asking price in Thailand seems too high relative the same product in Swe, then it IS expensive, and I pause.
I don't fully understand the mechanism behind this- is Scandinavia and SE Asia linked in some fashion?
The exchange rates are a problem in our world, I think.
No one commodity can produce a reliable value for price parity. You need at least three items to begin to do it ...two points establish a line's " direction " and the third to verify it. So I suggest we use a Big Mac burger regardless of what species of red meat is used in its prep ; the black market street price of an AK-47 or AR-15 assault rifle ; and the retail price of either FHM or Playboy Magazine ( local-regional edition ) or maybe even this magazine in the prude nations.
That should express it nicely , dontcha think ?

For the fish: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Mix together the pecans and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Mix and then spread onto a baking sheet and toast for 7 minutes, making sure not to burn them. Let cool to room temperature - do not put them in the refrigerator. Once the pecans are cool, transfer them to a food processor with the breadcrumbs and boniatos and blend. You can store leftover mix in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Coat your fish using a standard breading procedure: dredge in the flour, then the egg, and then your pecan-boniato mixture. Heat the sauté pan over medium heat and add the butter or oil. When melted, saute the fish until golden brown on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Once the fish is golden in color, remove from pan. For the jalapeno cream sauce: Mix together the onions, garlic, jalapeno and bell peppers. Heat the oil in a medium sauté pan and saute the vegetables until the garlic is slightly golden in color. Add your wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up the bottom, and cook until reduced by half. Pour in the heavy cream, then the milk and bring to a slight simmer over medium heat. Stir in the butter, jalapeno juice and salt and black pepper, then reduce the heat to low and cook until the butter melts. Serve the fish topped with the jalapeno cream sauce.

The Integrated Marketing Suite
With marketing, content distribution, and customer experience rapidly all going online, content managers and marketing teams need a streamlined service which lets them do everything all in one space, instead of tabbing through different pieces of software which won't talk to one another, or integrate with one another. Most departments have some sort of content marketing software in place, but, they are still relatively new and aren't quite up to par to what everyone needs. Alternatively, most people don't understand the need to have everything integrated and work seamlessly. Any content marketing software should have at least four different levels of seamless integration: web content, analytics, customer relationship, and automation. All of these play a big role in today's content marketing and must work together in order to have a successful marketing campaign. While it is good to know that all these play an integral role to your marketing, how exactly do they work?

Embarkation- This was the best it has ever been. My wife got wheelchair assistance on the ship. We got on the ship about noon and couldn't go to our stateroom until 1330 hours. we met another cruiser while boarding the ship and we continued to see them throughout the cruise. They are nice folks.
Food-Carnival food is excellent. The pizzas are the best of any cruise line. The choices you get on Carnival my wife and I think are the widest of all the cruise lines we have been on so far. So far we have been on five different cruise lines. They were really great about the anniversary cake which Carnival now charges a small charge for. We ate a lot on the Lido Deck mainly for lunch. Excellent food there too. I even ate one time with Jack. we had two nice couples with us at our table in the main dining room we were assigned to.
Service-We experienced excellent service from the Triumph personnel. The waiters in the restaurants took my wife's walker and put it in an area we could easily get to it after the meal. Our waiters were Collin and Victor are excellent. We also had another waiter Raymond on the open seating night we were in Boston. We had Collin and Victor most days for breakfast too. Our room steward wanted to be called Chai. A shortened form of his name. He was good too. The Maitre'D was excellent so was the dining room hostess. I gave them all extra tips. They were really good.
Entertainment-They redid Music of the World a bit. That was so so. The New Orleans show was pretty good. The best part was the Hank Williams songs they did. I happen to be a Hank Williams fan. I didn't see the Motown show. That wasn't for me. The Comedians they got were somewhat disappointing. Especially the ones they had over the first few days.
The Casino-I do spend a lot of time in the casino. That is were I meet other passengers on the ship. Most people go through the Casino even if they don't stop to play. It did get frustrating because no one seemed to be able to get a winning streak going. I did manage to get a few monster rolls during the cruise. Maybe two or three.
Overall, it was a really good cruise. I look forward to going to New England/Canada again.

Aloha Bay Chakra Pillar Holder Lava Stone -- 1 Candle Holder
Pretty but messy
I purchased the Lava Stone Pillar Holder with one of the Aloha Bay Chakra Pillar candles. The approximate 2' diameter pillar fits the holder nicely. The stone holder is heavy so it doesn't tip over. It is a pretty gray-green neutral color that fits in with many decors, and has a slightly textured surface. The design is clean and simple that doesn't detract from any candle you choose to use. The problem is the surface is flat with no lip to hold melting wax. Unfortunately, I did not realize my candle had overflowed until it was too late and the wax ran everywhere! I would absolutely love this holder and would purchase more if it had even a slight rim to corral the wax as the candle melted.

Asrock Z68 Extreme4 Motherboard Reviewed - Intel Z68's Smart Response Technology Tested
Intel has released the Z68 chipset, which is somewhat of a hybrid of the P67 and H67: it allows you to overclock while simultaneously using the baked-in graphics engine. But there's more to it...
Along with combining the functionality of its previous chipsets, Intel has infused the Z68 with some impressive new features that should make it more appealing to a broader demographic, namely Smart Response Technology (SRT) and LucidLogix Virtu GPU virtualization. By cramming more features into the Z68, the company has effectively created a new enthusiast-grade chipset, while the P67 has been demoted to somewhat of a mid-range offering.
User Comments: 12
Got something to say? Post a comment-
Nice review. SRT looks really promising.
I noticed this motherboard has UEFI. Is there a significant difference in boot times between this and BIOS?
Umm, not to be disrespectful, but isn't the point of virtu that it will save you power on i mode, though GPUs these days tend to have very capable power-scaling capabilities - shouldn't you have looked into the this?
StaffNice review. SRT looks really promising.
I noticed this motherboard has UEFI. Is there a significant difference in boot times between this and BIOS?
Please check out our 5-Way Intel P67 Motherboard Shootout which features the Asrock UEFI...
Umm, not to be disrespectful, but isn't the point of virtu that it will save you power on i mode, though GPUs these days tend to have very capable power-scaling capabilities - shouldn't you have looked into the this?To be honest the Lucid Virtu was a last minute addition to the review, initially we were only going to focus on the SSD caching performance and then decided to do some Virtu testing.
Having said that I have just recently looked into the power consumption figures and found that neither the i-Mode or d-Mode saves any power, idle and stress results were much the same.
Still I will continue to do more testing and next time we touch on the Z68 chipset these results will be included.
Just about to send off my Asus P8P67 Pro board for replacement due to the first revision Sandy Bridge problem, wonder if it's worth selling the replacement and pickup up a Z68 board.... hmm.
Sounds like SRT will be a nice feature to have in a few years when the oft announced drop in SSD prices will come. Unless you're a super early adopter, and actually have a spare low capacity SSD laying around, then you're probably using your SSD drive as a boot drive.
$50 for a 20 GB drive is way too much. Now if they offered the retail version for something like $20-$30, they may get more people to pick them up for this express purpose of using SRT.
In a few years time hopefully SSDs will be far more viable to get as standalone drives so that SRT is not actually needed; the tests from this review basically told me that when it came for normal IO especially with larger files it did very little to help read/write times, but really took off with boot time and program loading. I already follow using a smaller drive for boot (in my case a WD black 640) and then use larger drives for mass storage (4x Samsung 1TB in RAID5), so I'd probably be better off with a dedicated SSD. Plus, if the new Corsair Force lives up to its purported performance and stays at that "low" price, I might just pick up one of the 120GB drives as a main boot drive.
Would you ever change a motherboard and NOT reinstall windows?
StaffWould you ever change a motherboard and NOT reinstall windows?
Sure why NOT you can easily get away with it these days. Since installing Windows 7 on my office PC it has seen three motherboard changes without reinstalling. Having to create a fresh install for my office PC is a lengthy procedure so I try to avoid it The thing runs like a dream so I saw no need.
How do you get 3 PCIe x16 slots on a board when the Z68 system has 16 lanes from the CPU and 8 lanes from the Z68 chip? I'm a bit confused as to how they connect all the cards up.
For three PCIe x16 slots, the 32 lanes normally available for SLI/CrossFireX/TriFire are organized x16/x8/x8.
All the info you could ever need about al892.
very capable BUT includes Stealth DRM ... Bad realtek
p;PFid=28&Level=5&Conn=4&ProdID=2845.1 plus simultaneous 2.0 sound useful or what
Like I said before on my deleted* comment " Looks like a good and solid motherboard but I lean more towards Asus F2A85-V PRO FM2 AMD A85X and they give away bonus hardware!! http://event.asus.com/au/2013/FM2/

The Adobe golf course is considered stately and grand, a forefather of modern design as one of the most established golf courses in Phoenix. The Adobe offers a simplistic beauty hard to find in an era when trickery is a goal in golf course architecture. When you long for a relaxing yet challenging round, there are few equal. The lush, 50 year-old fairways and spacious layout are a reminder of the game the way it was meant to be - a time when graphite was for pencil lead and golf balls only came in one color. Like the great players of its day, the Adobe can tell you some stories.

Digital land rush expected for new Internet 'top-level' domain names
Gannett News Service January 11, 2012 10:08AM
Rod Beckstrom, CEO of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the organization responsible for regulating domain names, speaks at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC, on January 10, 2012. Later this week, the organization will begin accepting applications for new generic top-level domains, the suffixes such as .com, .net or .org, despite mounting pressure from governments and businesses who oppose the costs involved and the control the organization has over the system. AFP PHOTO / Saul LOEB (Photo credit should read SAUL LOEB/AFP/Getty Images)
Updated: January 12, 2012 9:12AM
On Thursday, a digital land rush kicks off what could produce a torrent of new Web addresses for the first time in more than a decade. ICANN, the non-profit that manages several Internet-related tasks, will start accepting applications to manage new top-level domains — the names that appear at the end of website addresses, such as .com and .org. The addition of new domain names — .shop is among the potential ones — is part of ICANN's charter to create an open, dynamic Internet. Applying to be the overseer of a new top-level domain, or a "registry holder," doesn't come cheap. It requires an $185,000 fee — more than twice what ICANN charged in 2000, when it last accepted applications for top-level domains. Getting a new domain name will take time. ICANN says it expects the application process to take up to a year. The bids, which are being accepted for 90 days, require details about applicants' finances and technical capability and how they plan to use the domains they're seeking, ICANN spokesman Brad White says. If more than one equally qualified applicant seeks the same domain name, an auction could be held. The goal of many overseers is to sell their names to registrars such as GoDaddy.com. The registrars, in turn, resell secondary names — words to the left of the dot — to companies and individuals that want to own Web addresses. Since overseers are likely to have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars annually on technical support and promotional efforts, many could be large companies such as Canon that want to control the registries they acquire. Only major brands such as Coke and Nike can apply for total-level domain names bearing their names, making them, ah, masters of their own domains. "For a bank, should it acquire a top-level domain-name, it would leave no doubt about the authenticity of its addresses, reducing the chances of spam and phishing attempts," says Jim Rogers, a vice president of marketing at Neustar, a provider of registry services that has applied for the "neustar" domain. The last major addition of a new suffix — .jobs — did not upend the market.

Is anyone else having data connection issues? About 75% of the time I get gray bars for wifi and data service, but I am still able to get texts/calls. Is it just me or is anyone else having this issue? It's happening to me with CM10 and CNA.
Still having some issues with the camera. When I open it it says the gallery isn't responding and then force closes.
I went back to the CM10 10/18 build and my connection is a lot better.Quote:

Well, it looks like I spoke too soon. I had the problem on CNA again. I switched back to CM10 10/18 build and it's working fine.
So, I recently switched from the CM9 build on Safestrap 2.11 to CM10 10/23 on Safestrap 3.05, and I've found a couple things that I haven't seen mentioned, so I thought I would ask.
1. If you add the LTE toggle to the notification bar, it toggles off just fine, but not back on. I had to go back into the mobile network settings and change the setting to LTE/CMDA (spelling?)/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA one before 4g came back.
2. I noticed that OOB the "Enable GSM Signal Strength Fix" was checked. This caused me not to have any bars for the 4G signal. I don't know if the ROM is even supporting GSM yet, but it seems to me like that would be off by default.
3. If I go to Advanced Settings for AOKP keyboard, I get an error that it FCd.
4. I've noticed that on some screens (not all, and not sure why not all) the shift isn't "sticky". On most screens you can press shift and then like 1 and get a !. On some screens, you have to hold down the shift and hit 1 to get a !.
5. Some people have mentioned they are getting great battery life. Mine sucks. I'm down to 39% after just 6 hours. I am using the hotplug governor, but haven't noticed any improvement since switching to it. It seems like the item Android OS takes up over 1/2 of my battery drain. I'm not sure why. Switching to 3g didn't solve the problem.
That's all I've seen that hasn't been mentioned here. I do love the ROM! Thanks to Hashcode for the time you spend on this! I've loved CM since OD. I'm so happy that my newish shinyish D4 can run CM! :hail:.

Placing a tube down a patient's throat or into his colon isn't easy, and doctors have devised a new way to test a young physician's ability to do it.
The University of Nebraska Medical Center expects to be one of 16 testing centers in the United States and Canada to evaluate surgical residents — young physicians in training to become surgeons — for their ability to perform endoscopic procedures.
The computerized evaluation includes a written test and placement of the tube into a special mannequin, said Dr. Dmitry Oleynikov, professor of surgery at UNMC. The simulation is realistic and provides the feel and challenge of placing the tube into a patient, Oleynikov said.
UNMC awaits the arrival of the equipment necessary to become one of the endoscopy testing centers. The test taker's performance will be sent electronically to the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons for a pass-fail grade, Oleynikov said.
Endoscopic procedures are used to examine the colon and stomach for polyps, cancerous conditions and other problems. Placing the tube incorrectly can damage the esophagus, stomach or colon.
Within a year, Oleynikov said, physicians will have to pass this evaluation to practice as a surgeon. "This particular test is indeed brand new," he said.
The society said test centers will open this year in Cleveland, Houston, Philadelphia and Montreal. Once those are deemed successful, the society said, 12 more will open, including at UNMC. There also will be centers in this region in Denver and Indianapolis.

Review of the 2008 Jeep Patriot
Although an adequate urban runabout, the 2008 Jeep Patriot is outclassed by most other small SUVs when it comes to performance, cabin quality and overall refinement.
- Safety
Affordable pricing, lots of headroom, Jeep styling, above-average off-road ability.
Performance-robbing CVT, some mediocre interior materials, minimal cargo capacity.
What's New for 2008

Full 2008 Jeep Patriot Review
What's New for 2008
Jeep's Patriot compact crossover SUV enters its second year with a handful of minor changes, including standard air-conditioning, AutoStick manual shifting added to the continuously variable transmission (CVT), reshuffled package content and a few chrome bits to dress up the interior. Limited models can also be equipped with an optional navigation system.
The compact SUV display has gotten pretty crowded at your local Jeep store, with the traditional Patriot and stylized Compass car-based crossovers joining the larger and pricier second-generation Liberty. Similar to the old Cherokee in appearance, the 2008 Jeep Patriot is a familiar-looking four-door Jeep wagon meant to be the tougher and more off-roadable version of the brand's two entry-level SUV models. When properly equipped with "Trail Rated" four-wheel-drive components, the Patriot ends up being one of the best small crossover SUVs in terms of off-road capability.
If you're inclined to play in the dirt, there are two four-wheel-drive versions to choose from: the standard "Freedom Drive I" setup with a lockable active full-time system for winter-weather use, and an available "Freedom Drive II" off-road package with an elevated ride height and low-range gearing for true terrain-conquering capability. Those less concerned with venturing far from city lights can save some money and opt for a front-wheel-drive Patriot and still enjoy Jeep's classic, squared-off appearance.
The Patriot's base price has increased since last year, but now includes a number of enhancements plus standard air-conditioning -- which you'd probably spring for anyway. Inside, the Patriot is a bit more dressy and functional with a new dark gray interior option, additional chrome accents and some new features. The interior is still one of this vehicle's biggest drawbacks, however, as it suffers from low-grade materials and subpar cargo capacity.
If you're looking for an affordable compact runabout and are sold on rugged Jeep looks and off-road potential, the 2008 Jeep Patriot Sport would be your best bet. In the same price range, however, those who find these attributes negotiable may want to check out the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage twins, which trade some off-road functionality for larger interiors and more extensive basic warranty coverage. Likewise, if you don't travel off pavement and are looking to spend a few thousand more on a Patriot Limited, there are more polished rivals from Honda, Toyota and Subaru to consider with greater overall refinement, on-road performance and cargo capacity. On the domestic side, Ford's Escape has tough new exterior styling and a revamped interior worth checking out. In other words, if "Trail Rated" isn't a quality that's high on your list, you can do yourself a favor by skipping over the Patriot.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2008 Jeep Patriot compact SUV is available in base Sport and upmarket Limited trims. The Sport is pretty basic with 16-inch steel wheels, air-conditioning, cruise control and a CD/MP3 player with an auxiliary audio jack. Moving up to the more luxurious Limited gets you 17-inch aluminum wheels, foglights, privacy glass, chrome exterior accents, leather trim, heated front seats, a fold-flat front passenger seat, reclining 60/40-split rear seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls. A 115-volt outlet, full power accessories, cruise control and remote keyless entry also come standard. Many of the Limited's features are available on the Sport as individual or packaged options.
Both trims can be equipped with a sunroof, a six-disc CD changer and a Boston Acoustics premium audio system with satellite radio and flip-down speakers in the liftgate. On four-wheel-drive models, an off-road package with skid plates, a low-range ratio for CVT-equipped vehicles, hill descent control and an additional inch of ground clearance is available. The Limited model also qualifies for a navigation system and hands-free phone connectivity.
Powertrains and Performance
Most Jeep Patriots are powered by a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine with 172 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, and a CVT is optional. Buyers can choose either front- or all-wheel-drive configurations. Front-wheel-drive Sport models with the optional CVT can also be equipped with a smaller and less expensive 158-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder.
When equipped with the CVT, the Patriot accelerates sluggishly compared with other compact SUVs, and the lack of fixed ratios keeps the revs on a noisy boil. The power delivery feels more energetic and linear with the manual gearbox, which would be our choice. Fuel economy for an AWD model with the CVT checks in for 2008 at 21 mpg city/24 mpg highway.
Antilock brakes, traction control, stability control with roll-over mitigation and head curtain airbags are all standard Patriot features. Front-seat side-impact airbags are optional on both trims. The 2008 Jeep Patriot earns four stars out of five for driver protection and a perfect five stars for the front passenger in government frontal crash testing. In side-impact tests, it receives a five-star protection rating for both front and rear passengers.
Interior Design and Special Features
The Patriot's cabin features large gauges and simple controls but is ultimately defined by a sea of hard, low-quality plastic and inconsistent fit and finish. The front seats are well cushioned, but an overly high beltline and dash, combined with the lack of a telescoping steering wheel, makes for an awkward driving position, especially for shorter adults. Those of taller stature will appreciate this SUV's voluminous headroom, however.
For camping trips and tailgate parties, the optional premium sound system features unique liftgate-mounted speakers that rotate and direct the sound toward the great outdoors. The Jeep's removable and easy-to-clean cargo floor is another nice touch, but the Patriot's maximum cargo capacity is disappointing at just over 54 cubic feet.
Driving Impressions
Although 172 hp is adequate output for a four-cylinder engine, the Patriot feels sluggish during merging and passing maneuvers, especially when equipped with 4WD and the CVT. In addition, full-throttle acceleration results in the CVT holding the engine's rpm at redline, at which point both four-cylinders make an irritating racket.
Once underway, the 2008 Jeep Patriot shows some body roll, but overall the Patriot takes corners confidently with a firm and controlled ride. With the off-road package, the Patriot lives up to its "Trail Rated" moniker thanks to generous (9.0-inch) ground clearance and a low-range gear that allows it to tame trails and hills that would be off-limits to most competitors in its class. If you're that serious about off-roading, however, you'd probably be better off with Jeep's own Liberty, or upping the ante for a more purpose-built and proven machine like the Wrangler, Nissan Xterra or Toyota FJ Cruiser.

A felon gave me reminders I shouldn't have needed.
This was no two-legged gangster.
Rather it was a medical felon, and not the type Steven Brill wrote about in his mind-boggling article "Bitter Pill: Why Medical Bills are Killing Us" in the March 4 issue of Time.
The article is a must read, even if it is a long one, with more than 24,000 words.
Find a copy. Read the multitude of responses at www.time.com/bitterpill.
Brill spent seven months in research, revealing how Medicare keeps costs on doctor and hospitalizations under the billed price for its enrollees, yet leaves younger insured and uninsured out of the loop and often facing huge bills.
But even Medicare is hamstrung by regulations from doing the same with prescriptions and medical devices (think knee and hip replacements) for enrollees.
If that suggests an unwillingness in Congress to change regulations and brings "lobbyists" to mind, you're probably correct.
"According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the pharmaceutical and health-care-product industries, combined with organizations representing doctors, hospitals, nursing homes, health services and HMOs, have spent $5.36 billion since 1998 on lobbying in Washington," Brill wrote.
"That dwarfs the $1.53 billion spent by the defense and aerospace industries and the $1.3 billion spent by oil and gas interests over the same period. That's right: the health-care-industrial complex spends more than three times what the military-industrial complex spends in Washington."
He convinced me to reconsider the possibility that expanding Medicare to younger people rather than raising the eligibility age might just cut health costs.
Brill covers a great deal more ground, every bit worthwhile, that I devoured after a trip to the doctor.

VPP Questions and Wiping
So we roll out iPads at my business. I went out and bought the VPP codes and imported them into my MDM software. I then push the apps out to those that need them.
For security reasons we don't allow these apps to be backed up using the MDM software. So that said user's iPad is messed up and I can reset the passcode as there is no data connection. I wipe the iPad and start over. Now that VPP code is used and I can't re-use it. That doesn't seem right does it? Am I missing something? |

PROFILE of artist Paul Chan. Thirty-five years old and a bit under five and a half feet tall, Chan can be quite elusive, although he tries hard not to be. His current exhibition at the New Museum of contemporary art, "The 7 Lights," is his first one-man show at a New York museum. His name still draws a blank among some art-world professionals, but his work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, and the Walker Art Center. Most of the darkened space on the New Museum's third floor is devoted to Chan's shadow plays of moving, computer-generated images. When the writer asks Chan why the word "Lights" was struck out in the exhibition's title, Chan answers: "Because what I'm showing are projections of light and shadow, and shadows are light that is struck out." Writer discusses how the piece evokes September 11th and the Rapture. Ever since his student days, Chan has been engaged in social activism as well as in art, even while insisting that the two are not only separate, but incompatible. Certain works of art resist our attempts to interpret or explain them, Chan believes, and that resistance—what Chan calls their "articulate speechlessness"—is what gives them enduring power. Writer tells about Chan's childhood. His parents moved from Hong Kong to the U.S. when Chan was a boy. He attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Discusses the influence of Samuel Beckett, Edward Albee, Jacques Derrida, and other writers on him and tells about his idea of "reckless reading." In his last two years at the Art Institute, he began to focus on video production. After graduating, he went on to teach there and at Fordham University. While in New York, he made single-channel videos more attuned to polemics than to art. He obtained his M.F.A. from Bard, where he began to work on "Happiness (Finally) After 35,000 Years of Civilization—After Henry Darger and Charles Fourier," a seventeen-minute animated video. Describes Chan's involvement with Voices in the Wilderness, a Chicago-based group formed in 1996 to protest the economic sanctions imposed on Iraq. Tells about his works "Baghdad in No Particular Order" and "My birds…trash…the future," and "Untitled (After St. Caravaggio)." In the fall of 2006, Chan was invited to lecture at Tulane University. The city's devastation astonished him. He approached Anne Pasternak of the public-art organization Creative Time about mounting a production of "Waiting for Godot" outdoors in the stricken city. Tells how they collaborated with Christopher McElroen of the Classical Theatre of Harlem to put on the play in the Lower Ninth Ward and Gentilly neighborhoods of New Orleans.
