Cloudy with a chance of a coffee price increase!
It's funny how everyone carries on about the supposed coming increase price of coffee. My insights over the last decade plus;
1. Every few years there is a spike in the price of coffee followed by a downswing to in some cases historical lows. The daily weighted average price is actually lower now than two years ago, but like any commodity it fluctuates in the futures markets in line with market sentiment.
2. The price of coffee came back significantly a few years ago yet no one put their prices down, yet there is talk again of taking the price up. Seriously lets be consistent. Look up price elasticity on google and find out what the real cost will be.
3. Coffee itself is about 6% of the input cost of a take away cup in Melbourne, so any increase will not be felt at the cup price, if it is the cafe owner needs to think about his/her economics.
4. The media love the hype as we love our morning Latte enema shot. Lets not let the facts get in the way etc etc.
Life is too short for bad coffee,..

Happy Birthday my beautiful eight year old boy, and my 10 year old Blog!
14 Jun 2004
Above is the first post on MCR on June 14th 2004. It was the year of my daughter's birth. She was less than six months when I posted that and it was done in a giddy frenzy of happiness and anticipation of what was to come as a dad. For MCR it was the first of nearly 1,000 posts - some I love and some I wish had never gone up. The date is also auspicious for me as it's also my son's birthday exactly two years later. He turns 8 today! Happy birthday my beautiful boy! It's been 10 years to the day, my gorgeous daughter turned 10 early this year, and of course today is MCR's 10th birthday.
I did some math on the number of coffees my team and I have consumed in those years and they are quite staggering. I make it over 30,000. And at about $3.50, I get just over $100,000 spent on coffee alone. I actually think it's double that but I can't bear to contemplate a bigger number. If you do the numbers, note the majority of those coffees were consumed during 2009-2011.
I started writing about coffee as a result of my own passions, and while I loved coffee and still do, it was the act of reflection and just sharing the experience that motivated me at the time to write each day. It's about coffee, but in effect, through to about 2010 many of the posts were personal accounts of my life so you could say it was a personal diary, a web log, or blog ..LOL.
Of course life happened and MCR morphed into a commercial endeavour (I swore to myself I would not do that, but it kinda took on a life of its own). Kids grew, and life went on. Before I knew it, 10 years had passed.
In these last years I think you will agree that the coffee scene boomed Australia wide, but particularly in good ole' Melbourne. It was crazy! Coffee roasters were popping up every three minutes, cool cafes were appearing daily everywhere with amazing coffee and food, tattoo parlours had a line out into the street of aspiring baristas and beards and beanie's seem to be the order of the day if you pull a coffee (Interesting that Barista courses didn't do as well). Groovy music filled the graffiti splattered café alleys like Centre Way and Degraves, Block Arcade, Hardware Lane and more, and the click clack of stilettos and black leather shoes hit the cobbled pavements between work and hot coffee shops.
If you sense a note of facetiousness in my tone you would be right. Don't get me wrong, I've loved the ride, and I think the coffee went to a new height of quality. Brands like Padre, Proud Mary, Seven seeds, Espresso Syndicate and more set a new standard of coffee quality, service and more. In my view, we then went over the crest of amazing coffee and into the valley of bullshit where some brands were touting coffee as 'amazing' that was absolutely not. It was wrapped up in cool venues and tattooed baristas and so it had to be great, but seriously,.. in soooo many ways it wasn't.
We had situations where we did the top 100 and I would get abuse on the phone from people who should have known better (you know who you are). Seriously,.. crazy times, but unforgettable and precious none the less.
My favourite craziness is of course the single origin phenomenon. For the record, my personal taste for coffee fails to appreciate fruity or bright coffee. Me? I like 'coffee tasting coffee', that tastes like coffee with earthy tones, nutty,.. not a one dimensional flavour. Occasionally I'd taste a good single, but for me, mostly it tasted like average coffee with a squirt of dishwashing liquid in it.
I think perhaps lovers of the coffee scene were memorised with the media that followed us into the coffee commentary world and many peeps just got sucked in with the whole manufactured hip and grooviness. I'm a bit of a victim like that with wine, I really love the stuff but could not tell you why, and I am bamboozled in most cases with what sounds like absolute waffle.
As negative as the above sounds, I think that the heart and soul of the coffee scene in Melbourne is still very much here. I call it coffee 2.0 (I don't actually, I'm kidding) and it consists of the ever growing mass of people who do their work in wired cafes, collaborating on global projects, start-ups, ideas, art and literature, and innovations. These cafes are our workspaces and great coffee and service is just the beginning.
I think the world is changing, many good folk are opting out (or being pushed out of corporate life) and are taking a more lifestyle and entrepreneurial approach to their income generating activities. This is underpinned by great coffee, places to meet, think, collaborate and work. That means appropriately laid out cafes, wifi that works and some space to work and talk. Great cafes are where the real people get social and then then tell the world about it on social media.
I cannot believe its 10 years. Happy birthday us! Thank you sincerely to all of who have been involved at any point on the journey. I give MCR 3 beans, we'll keep on doing our thing, and push out to the web and apps as long as you'll have us.
Lastly, but most especially, Happy 8th birthday my little man Vance. You are a legend, I love you with every ounce of my being.You rock my world completely!

Catherine Gewertz reports today that New Hampshire Republicans have introduced a bill that would, it seems, all but undo the State Board of Education's decision to adopt the Common Core last July. She explains:
If approved, the measure would require the state legislature, called the "general court" in New Hampshire, to approve any changes the state board of education makes in academic standards. It specifies that the common standards, approved by the state board last July 8, "shall not be adopted" without the general court's consent. Both chambers of the New Hampshire legislature are controlled by Republicans, but the state's governor is a Democrat.
It seems strange to require legislative approval for something that doesn't seem to have needed it before, but one presumes they know what they're doing.
Either way, this is a terrible sign for Common Core implementation in New Hampshire. And it comes on the heels of eerily similar bills in Minnesota and Texas. (Of course, the MN and Texas bills explicitly forbid adoption of ?common? and ?national? standards.) And it also makes me wonder how many other states have groups working to unravel Common Core adoption before implementation has even begun?
I've already weighed in on Alfie Kohn's ?pedagogy of poverty? article that appeared in Ed Week last week. (See here.) The debate sparked by Kohn's article rages on?in blogs and on Twitter?and my colleague, Mike Petrilli, weighed in today, arguing:
The question of whether affluent and disadvantaged kids need a different kind of education?different instructional strategies, different curriculum, maybe even different kinds of teachers?is a serious one. This discussion is easily demagogued (particularly on Twitter). But it's not racist to say that poor kids?who generally come to school with much less vocabulary, exposure to print, and much else?might need something different?more intense, more structured?than their well-off, better-prepared peers.
On some level, we're overcomplicating this. In the end, the ?achievement gap,? as we now call it, is really little more than a practice gap. And schools that are succeeding in closing it are simply better at creating a culture that makes time for that practice.
In his bestselling book, The Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell argues that, across divergent fields (athletics, music, business, academia), the people who rose to the top had two things in common:
That's because extraordinary achievement is a function of extraordinary practice. Unfortunately, the sad truth for too many of America's poor children is that they are never given the opportunity to learn. ?And they are even more rarely given...
In his most recent missive (published today in Ed Week), Alfie Kohn decries "the pedagogy of poverty," i.e.: the way many poor children are taught in traditional public and public charter schools around the nation. He complains:
Policymakers and the general public have paid much less attention to what happens inside classrooms—the particulars of teaching and learning—especially in low-income neighborhoods. The news here has been discouraging for quite some time, but, in a painfully ironic twist, things seem to be getting worse as a direct result of the "reform" strategies pursued by the Bush administration, then intensified under President Barack Obama, and cheered by corporate executives and journalists. In an article published in Phi Delta Kappan back in 1991, Martin Haberman, a professor at the University of Wisconsin, coined the phrase "pedagogy of poverty." Based on his observations in thousands of urban classrooms, Haberman described a tightly controlled routine in which teachers dispense, and then test students on, factual information; assign seatwork; and punish noncompliance. It is a regimen, he said, "in which learners can 'succeed' without becoming either involved or thoughtful," and it is noticeably different from the questioning, discovering, arguing, and collaborating that is more common (though by no means universal) among students in suburban and private schools.

This description is misleading on so many levels. First of all, it seems to suggest that having tight classroom management and routines is antithetical to creating classrooms where students can think deeply about issues. Nonsense....
Winning RTT states got a lot of points for promising to adopt CCSS and implement the standards by adopting some fairly bold reforms. Now the rubber meets the road and it's time to look at whether states are beginning to do what they promised. (And, perhaps, to evaluate whether those promises made any sense in the first place.) To that end, I have begun to read the RTT applications from the winning states, beginning with DC. My plan is to learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of each state's implementation plan and eventually to track how states are progressing against their own implementation goals.
Washington, DC
I think that I may have started by reading the gold standard CCSS implementation plan because the District's RTT application outlines a plan that is as thoughtful as it is comprehensive. States and districts that are looking for smart CCSS implementation advice would do well to read and adapt DC's plan.
There are essentially three areas of the RTT application that deal directly with CCSS implementation: standards and assessment, data, and great teachers and leaders. What impressed me most about DC's plan was how well integrated these areas were. It seems clear that the ?state? officials had a unified and clear theory of action and aligned all elements of their reform plan around particular goals. Even better, they are clearly using assessment and data as the driving force behind CCSS implementation. To that end, DC plans:...
In science, statisticians must frequently grapple with interaction effects. Let's say, for example, that a scientist wants to study the impact of diet and exercise on lowering cholesterol. They have one group follow a low-fat diet, another a new running regimen, and a third group both. It's possible that both the diet group and the exercise group see a modest dip in cholesterol. But it's also possible that the third group will see a drop that is more than double what could have been achieved by diet or exercise alone?meaning that diet and exercise are ?interacting? in some way to affect cholesterol more powerfully. But, at what levels do participants see this interaction effect? When you follow a strict diet and exercise once a week? Twice? Etc.
In education, interaction effects are everywhere. As I've argued before, a strong curriculum implemented by skilled instructor often yields amazing results. The same curriculum implemented by a weak teacher may yield no (or negative) student achievement gains. That's because, as anyone who's ever worked in a school knows, outstanding student achievement results are the product of many different interacting elements within schools, not just of standards or curriculum alone.
For policy makers, it's challenging because no policy can control all of the (school-based) factors that will determine whether their programs succeed or fail in boosting student achievement.
So it is with Common Core. While the standards themselves are far more rigorous than what existed in most states previously,...
Last September, Minnesota Commissioner of Education Alice Seagren adopted the Common Core standards in ELA but not in math, arguing that the state's existing math standards were far superior than the CCSS. With a new Commissioner, Brenda Cassellius, selected by the new Democratic governor, Republican lawmakers are now working to ensure that that decision cannot be revisited.
An education bill introduced last week specifically prohibits the Commissioner ?from adopting common core standards in the subject and school year listed in the revision cycle in paragraphs (a) to (f).?? (See here and here.) Translated, that means that, when the state's math standards are up for revision in 2015, the state will not be permitted to adopt the Common Core.
Even more troubling, though, the sweeping statement has implications that go well beyond math, because the revision cycles outlined in ?paragraphs (a) to (f)? include science, social studies, technology and information literacy, the arts, and language arts. That means that, if passed, this bill would prevent the state from adopting common standards in any content area?no matter how much better than the state's existing standards they may be.
It also calls into question what's going to happen the next time the state's ELA standards are up for revision in 2018. Will the state be forced to replace the CCSS with different standards because this short-sighted provision prohibits the Commissioner from adopting any common core standards? I assume--perhaps naively--that wasn't the lawmakers' intent. Let's hope it doesn't become...
When Sheldon and Jeremy Stern reviewed the Minnesota social studies standards earlier this year, there was certainly much room for improvement. (See here for the full review.) Unfortunately, if a description of the changes by the Minneapolis Star Tribune is right, it sounds like the state may be moving in exactly the wrong direction. According to the article,
a key goal for this year's social studies committee, which is made up of citizens and teachers, is to shrink the standards to more manageable lengths, which means far fewer examples than are contained in the current standards.
Note first that the committee is made up of ?citizens and teachers.? Does that mean to imply that the state isn't deliberately soliciting the input of historians? Let's hope not. While there would certainly be tension between what the historians wanted to include and what the teachers felt was manageable, such tension is a healthy way to ensure the pendulum doesn't swing too far in one direction or another.
Further, it's disheartening to hear that the state is moving to remove content from the standards, given that the Sterns felt the inclusion of so much substantive content was the best part about the standards.
On the other hand, they felt the standards were ?poorly organized, chronologically confused, and divorced from context,? and that ?political bias also makes unwelcome intrusions at all levels, at the expense of balanced historical perspectives.? Addressing those problems doesn't appear to have been the...
?Good teaching cannot fall victim to budget cuts,? a post on Ed Week's ?PD Watch? blog implored last week.
This year many states will make dramatic cuts to their education budgets?I would urge that those budget cuts not come at the expense of improving teaching. Furloughing teachers on professional development days, or ridding school systems of professional development departments, instructional coaches, and other forms of support altogether, will erode the knowledge, skills, and abilities teachers need to meet students' learning needs, and, as a result, will have a dramatic negative impact on student achievement for years to come.
The post is grounded in the dubious (but all too common) assumption that less is inevitably worse. ?As if it's impossible to streamline spending in education?or, in this case, in professional development?without negatively impacting quality.
For starters, regardless of their quality, most professional development consultants are astronomically expensive. I can remember being *shocked* that a one-day training with unheard of (and untested) trainers who knew nothing of our schools and teachers, but who worked for a well known and well respected organization charged $20,000 for a one day training. That's more than $3,000 an hour to deliver a presentation that had been pre-packaged and delivered many times before. And the quality of the trainers was so poor that we fired them by lunch.
Of course, in PD, since there is no money-back-guarantee, we never saw that $20K again. Nor were the teachers able to...
This post was a part of our April Fool's Day edition of The Gladfly! Please don't think we're serious about this.
Napoleon had his Waterloo. Harding had his Teapot Dome. And now the Gates Foundation has its ?conflict of interest? clause. Let's back up. For more than a year, education groups, states, and local districts have been busily updating curricula, altering assessment blueprints, and writing new state tests as they ready themselves for implementation of the new Common Core state standards. Yet in March, the Gates Foundation completely sidelined all efforts by introducing a ?conflict of interest? policy that prevents any grantee from discussing the work of a fellow grantee publicly or privately. As soon as Gates made the decision public, all work on Common Core standards implementation promptly ground to a halt. When asked about the consequences of the new policy, Stefanie Sanford said, ?Huh. Interesting.? She later when on to reassure grantees by explaining that Gates has created a National Commission that will look into the policy and its ramifications. A report on their findings and recommendations is due out this summer.
In related news, the Liberty Institute released a report today praising the conflict of interest policy. ?At last,? the release said, ?a Gates policy recommendation we can get behind!?
?Kathleen Porter-Magee
Several years ago, then superintendent Roy Romer mandated that elementary teachers in the Los Angeles Unified School District use Open Court?a proven literacy program that he believed would help drive reading achievement in the district.
According to an LA Times article, because the program was both unpopular with teachers and didn't yield the student achievement results district officials had hoped for?there were gains, but they plateaued ?in upper classes? and weren't uniform across district schools?the LAUSD school board voted this week to replace it with another program called ?California Treasures.?
While I don't know much about the new program, I worry that, by simply replacing one program with another, the board hasn't learned two critical lessons.
The first is that, when you mandate a district-wide curriculum in a district the size of LA, school and leaders will inevitably begin to focus their management on compliance rather than student achievement. That is precisely what happened in Los Angeles, according to an article in the Los Angeles Daily Breeze.
[District officials] treated it like the Bible and if you deviated in any way ... you were subjected to an inquisition," said Janet Davis, an LAUSD teacher adviser and former elementary school teacher. Davis recalled that she was once reprimanded for using the wrong Open Court puppet for a reading lesson.

In education, such compliance-focused management is absurd. It's no wonder that student achievement gains didn't persist over time.

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - Two witnesses tell WINK News they tried to calm a dispute on the road but ended up being targeted by a gunman.
We are uncovering new details about a road rage incident that erupted in the streets of Cape Coral Thursday night. It happened in the 2800 block of Santa Barbara Boulevard. Witness who asked not to be identified say it all started over an argument over speed between a 51-year-old bicyclist and 29-year-old driver Pascual Ruiz. "I pretty much saw a bicyclist almost get hit," the witness said. "I pulled over to see if he was okay. There ended up being a tussle between the two. He said, look, I yelled at you to do 35-40 in my neighborhood, not 100."
"I said, listen, you touch that old man and I am going to jump out of the truck and I am going to have to handle it," another witness said. "As soon as I said that, he (Ruiz) reached under the driver's seat and pulled out a 9mm. As soon as he pulled out the 9mm, I took off in the truck. He laid 4 in the air and the 5th one came around Santa Barbara, shot right at my truck."
No one was hurt. Police arrested Ruiz for aggravated assault. His family does not deny the allegations.
"My kid is in jail," Ruiz's father said. "Whatever he did, he did."
"He was drunk and high at the same time," his sister Sabrina Ruiz said.
Still, Ruiz's attorney asks people to keep an open mind. "mr. Ruiz isn't the type of person that, for no reason, as this police report indicates, that he is going to go around, start chasing after people on a bicycle and start shooting them," Criminal Defense Attorney Joseph Viacava said.
"It is definitely a life-changing matter when you're in a position like that," the first witness said. "It is just scary, puts you through a whole different level, makes you think, what is this town really coming to?"
Ruiz remains in the Lee County Jail.
The two men WINK News spoke with say the bicyclist was fine after the whole ordeal and say he even invited them to his house for dinner to say thank you.

The Daily Drivers: 2015 Subaru WRX STI11/19/14Autos
The bottom line: The WRX STI is one of the last of a dying breed: street-legal rally cars. We're glad Subaru is committed to improving this gem.
Earlier this year, we drove the newly refreshed 2015 Subaru WRX Limited, and loved it. But consider that model the "WRX light." We've driven the rally-inspired STI performance version, and wow, the car is a beast.
Appearance: For 2015, the WRX STI comes only in a sedan, which grows slightly and looks ready to pounce. The car has a bold front end with squinting headlights and muscular fenders. And, of course, there's the cartoonish wing, which is almost big enough to invoke the Road Runner Superbird for those of us old enough to remember it. Our tester's paint was the catch-me-if-you-can Lightning Red Metallic, which really stands out in traffic — so watch your speed....
The Daily Drivers: 2015 Corvette Stingray Coupe11/12/14Autos
It seems like it was just the other day that we drove the 2014 Corvette Stingray — a convertible — and were impressed with the all-new, seventh-generation Corvette. Now we've driven the 2015 model — this time a coupe — and Chevy already has made a big improvement: There's a new 8-speed automatic transmission that's more refined than the previous 6-speed gearbox. Even manual enthusiasts should take notice. ...
The Daily Drivers: 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG11/07/14Autos
Proof that the luxury compact crossover segment is the new arena for upscale automakers comes in the form of cars such as the Lexus NX 200t, which we reviewed recently, Porsche Macan and Mercedes-Benz's new GLA. We drove the GLA45, and anything we say has to be gauged against the version that Mercedes provided: AMG performance.
Appearance: At first look, it's tough to classify the GLA, which is based on the CLA sedan chassis. Mercedes staunchly calls it an SUV. Well, maybe, since it's raised a bit. But to us, it's a hatchback. In the AMG version, a very hot hatch. Our tester had the subdued Mountain Grey Metallic paint, but Mercedes also has an interesting palette that should appeal to younger buyers, including the matte-finish Mountain Grey Magno (which Lyra loves) and Northern Lights Violet Metallic. In its AMG guise, the GLA is all sinew, aggressively sculpted with flared wheel wells, high shoulders and twin power-dome hood. The front end features a large Mercedes three-point star with the "AMG double-cross-wing" design bisecting the mesh grille, and swept-back bi-Xenon headlamps with LED running lights. There also are aluminum skid plates, large air intakes, chrome roof rails and an integrated hatch-top spoiler. Our tester also had the upgraded 19-inch double-spoke alloy wheels. And this should please Mercedes: Lyra noticed some 20-somethings admiring it in a restaurant parking lot. ...
The Daily Drivers: 2014 Lexus CT 200h10/30/14Autos
We drove the Lexus CT 200h when it first came out in 2011, and surmised it was the car for people put off by the funky look-at-me design of hybrids such as the Prius. For 2014, Lexus has continued to refine the compact hatchback for those who want to go green with luxury and style.
Appearance: The major change is an updated front-end design, which now carries the metal-trimmed hourglass-shaped grille that is the Lexus standard. LED headlamps are now available as an option. Overall, the five-door hatchback retains its athletic-looking appearance with its long hood, flared fenders and sharp body creases. Our tester's paint color was a stunning hue called Redline, which seems more a case of wishful thinking with the CT 200h. Dual-spoked 17-inch alloy wheels complement the sporty look....
The Daily Drivers: 2015.5 Volvo V60 T6 AWD R-Design10/23/14Autos
In an automotive age where SUVs rule, station wagons are a fading market category. But Volvo has been a resolute defender of the traditional family haulers. Its all-new stylish V60, which is based on the S60 sedan, is just what you'd expect from the Swedish automaker that has a solid reputation for safety.
Appearance: Yes, wagons can be sexy. The V60's front channels the classic Volvo. The grille has a familiar diagonal line with a Volvo badge. The hood is chiseled, and the car's look is heightened by a high door line and narrow windows that appear as one uninterrupted design framed in chrome trim. The vertical taillights flare out to hug the body. At an angle, they are almost L-shaped. The spokes of the 19-inch Ixion alloy wheels have a visual twist, and the integrated chrome dual-exhaust tips finish off the look. Overall, these elements fuse into a cohesive design. The V60 has certainly come a long way from the boxy Volvo wagons of previous decades....
The Daily Drivers: 2015 Lexus NX 200t F Sport AWD10/16/14Autos
Americans have an insatiable appetite for the SUV. The latest segment automakers are battling over is the compact luxury crossover. Lexus' entry in the competition is the 2015 NX 200t — with the carmaker's first turbocharged engine and its hybrid counterpart, the 300h. Both models are based on parent Toyota's RAV4.
Appearance: The NX 200t we tested was a preproduction model in the F Sport trim. It's probably the sexiest crossover on the market. It carries the now-familiar Lexus spindle grille, which has prominent black mesh instead of the regular trim's horizontal slats. Everything about the NX 200t's aggressive styling — a mix of chiseled angles and bold character lines — seems calculated to send the message to a younger demographic: This isn't your father's Lexus. We particularly like how the almost-triangular headlights sweep up in a curve along the hood line and the 18-inch Y-spoked alloy wheels. ...
The Daily Drivers: 2014 Infiniti QX8010/09/14Autos
Despite gas prices still being over $3 a gallon, large SUVs have been making a comeback. Among them, the Infiniti QX80, one of the most sumptuous. For 2014, Infiniti's land yacht gets a new letter-number designation — previously it was the QX56 — under the brand's "renaming" of its lineup. What ever happened to actual names?
Appearance: The QX80 looks somewhat ungainly, with its high belt line and its not-quite-seamless mix of angles and curves. It's an odd look, especially in profile. Lyra likens it to a Beluga whale — albeit one that rolls on 22-inch alloy wheels and has a large chrome-trimmed grille and low-set headlights....
The Daily Drivers: 2014 Mazda MX-5 Miata Grand Touring10/02/14Autos
The Mazda MX-5 Miata marks 25 years as one of the auto world's most popular and affordable roadsters. Last month, Mazda showed off the all-new fourth generation Miata, which is due out next year as a 2016 model. Currently, there is a 2015 Miata, which includes a 25th Anniversary Edition, but we drove the similar 2014.
Appearance: The Miata still has the gaping smile that was the signature look for Mazda for a few misguided years. Thankfully, it's gone in the next generation. But as Lyra says: "In other Mazda cars, the smile was annoying. But with the Miata, it's endearing." The design is still from the less-is-more school: a rounded body with only fender flares and a few character lines to provide visual interest. If it's drama you want, you'll have to wait for the 2016 Miata. Our tester had the convertible hardtop, which gives the car a sleek profile. ...
The Daily Drivers: 2015 Acura TLX 2.4L Tech has family's features09/24/14 Working Life
Appearance: The overall look seems more like a refinement than a clean-sheet design. The first things that stand out are the Jewel Eye LED headlights. Each has the five gemlike bulbs that first appeared on the 2014 RL, and are now being incorporated into Acura's other models. The slender headlights are brighter than halogen lamps. Acura's chevron grille now seems less pronounced, with a muted brushed-aluminum panel. The body has attractive character lines, but the look is more generic than distinctive, which has been one of Acura's challenges. We hope the upcoming NSX sports car influences the rest of the company's models much like the LFA's design cues filtered into the Lexus lineup....
The Daily Drivers: 2014 Land Rover LR4 a stylish way to roam09/17/14Autos
For 2014, Land Rover's venerable LR4 gets a slightly more fuel efficient engine, cosmetic tweaks and a new four-wheel-drive system. What hasn't changed is the midsize SUV's ability to carry seven passengers and do so off the beaten path if necessary.
Appearance: Recognizably Land Rover. It's tall and boxy, but with some new features for 2014, such as the grille, bumper and lights. Our tester's two-bar grille was part of the Black Design Package ($3,500), which also included 20-inch black five-spoke wheels. It's a sharp look that helps to mitigate the somewhat blocky shape. The headlamps include distinctive LED daytime running lights — a circle plus a U. Book-ending the signature asymmetrical rear window are dual round LED tail lights that also stand out. Overall, our tester had an aftermarket look....
The Daily Drivers: 2015 Kia K900 sedan09/11/14Autos
Talk about a departure: Kia, the Korean automaker perhaps best known in the U.S. market for its funky little Soul crossover or the more mainstream Optima family sedan, has just introduced a full-size, rear-wheel-drive luxury car. Even more surprising: Other than a name that seems lifted from a TV infomercial, the 2015 K900 delivers.
Appearance: This is new territory for Kia, so the automaker can be forgiven if it looked at the full-size luxury competition and appropriated some styling cues: The long, creased hood, the sleek body with a high belt line and the wind tunnel-designed roof would not look out of place on a Jaguar. Elsewhere, touches such as integrated dual-chrome exhaust tips, integrated turn signals in the side mirrors and 19-inch wheels add some tasteful bling. Even Kia's signature "tiger nose" grille is more subtle, with an intricate wavelike mesh pattern. The headlights feature two quad LEDs that swivel to adapt to speed and driving direction. The only design misstep: a distracting and nonfunctional fender-top "vent."...
The Daily Drivers: 2015 Cadillac Escalade ESV 4WD Premium09/04/14Autos
If the Cadillac Escalade, once the favorite of celebrities, briefly lost its cachet, then the redesigned 2015 model should put it back on the A-list. This upscale cousin to the full-size SUVs of Chevy and GMC can even seem like a bargain when compared to its brethren. (Our tester — the extended wheelbase model — had a sticker price of $90,985, while the regular wheelbase Chevy Tahoe we drove recently was more than $71,000.)...
The Daily Drivers: a look at some family haulers08/28/14Autos
2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Autobiography
$63,525 base start, $103,435 as tested
We drove the all-new 2014 Ranger Rover Sport HSE last year and were impressed with its look, ride and interior quality. Its V-6 engine was spirited, but we wanted a bit more power. Along comes the Range Rover Sport Autobiography with a supercharged 5.0-liter V-8, paired with a smooth 8-speed automatic. With 510 horsepower and 625 pound-feet of torque, the SUV was robust and sure-footed on the highway, even on a recent drive through chaotic South Florida traffic. The four-wheel drive and the stability-control system kept the car under control, even in heavy summer downpours. The Rover sits high, so, without a running board, it was difficult for Lyra to get in and out. ...
The Daily Drivers: 2015 Hyundai Sonata08/21/14Autos
When Hyundai came out with the sixth-generation Sonata, it was a wakeup call for midsize sedans and other manufacturers' mundane styling. With its "Fluidic Sculpture" design, the Sonata dared to be different. Now for the new generation Sonata, Hyundai — for better or for worse — has reined in those sculptural flourishes.
Appearance: Overall, the 2015 Sonata is longer and wider. In fact, it's now classified as a large sedan. Lyra sees the new design as a natural progression to a more mature look. Peter thinks it now looks like most of its competitors — generic. Still, he will admit that the sloping, coupelike roofline, especially with our tester's panoramic sunroof, is a winning design. But he doesn't care for the wider, more stately grille that now wears its Hyundai badge on an unattractive black insert. Some nicer touches on our Limited tester: an integrated spoiler on the rear decklid, dual chrome exhaust tips and LED running lights and taillights....
The Daily Drivers: 2014 Lexus IS 350 F Sport sedan, convertible different animals08/13/14Autos
When we drove the redesigned Lexus IS 250 last year, we were impressed with the new look, but were left wanting a bit more power under the hood. The IS 350 F Sport, with more power, may be our answer. We drove the sedan, which carries hints of Lexus' future, as well as the convertible, which seems stuck in the past.
Appearance: It's a tale of two generations. The sedan's makeover is dominated by the distinctive hourglass-shaped grille, which gives the car a menacing look. The new sheet metal includes sculpted character lines that sweep up from the bottom of the car and blend into the rear body panels. These lines define the sweep of the body. Lyra is troubled by the taillights; she imagines the designer falling asleep with pencil in hand and his lines trailing off the drawing board. The F Sport package adds 18-inch five-spoke graphite alloy wheels and dual chrome exhaust. It's a sharp-looking sedan. The same can't be said for the convertible, which carries on the previous generation's no-drama design. The rear can look somewhat out of proportion because it has to accommodate the hardtop roof. Otherwise, the convertible has an attractive, coupelike profile when the top is raised. (Lyra thinks the trunk lid, which spans the width of the convertible, is extremely heavy. And there's no power lift gate.)...

'Non-Stop' Trailer: Liam Neeson Gets 'Taken' on an Airplane
Just when you thought Liam Neeson's late-career resurrection as a gruff 'n growling action hero may be ready for a break, the first 'Non-Stop' trailer shows up, proving that the man who once played Oskar Schindler has officially transformed into the closest thing the 21st century has to Arnold Schwarzenegger. Not that we'll complain too much -- Neeson is pretty good at making preposterous action movies work and this one looks like another entertaining entry in the "Liam Neeson Kills Everyone" sub-genre.
New 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' Trailer: Ben Stiller's Imagination is Bigger Than Yours
The timing of the new 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' trailer is impeccable. Ben Stiller's latest effort as a director premiered to mixed-but-passionate reviews at the New York Film Festival this past weekend and this new look at the film feels prepared to ride that buzz all the way to film's December release (and the 2014 Oscars?).
'Fantastic Four' Reboot To Get a "Substantial" Rewrite
Well, it looks like the 'Fantastic Four' reboot may not make that proposed March 6, 2015 release date. 'Chronicle' director Josh Trank's take on Marvel's first family of superheroes is currently undergoing a major rewrite from screenwriter Simon Kinberg, which makes us really wonder what the heck is going on behind the scenes of this movie.
Here's How You Can Be in 'Fast and Furious 7′
Dangerous car chases through heavily populated urban environments has always been a cornerstone of the wonderfully ludicrous 'Fast and Furious' series and the latest film is certainly not going to be an exception. Filming is currently underway on 'Fast and Furious 7' and the production is looking for some fans to fill out some key scenes.
'+1′ Trailer: A NSFW Trip Into a Killer Party
The latest '+1' trailer may initially make the film look like a fairly normal "teens go partying and learn life lessons" movie, but there's a lot more going on. After all, a movie about a party is just another teen flick, but a movie about a party where a freak supernatural occurrence causes a group of friends to go back in time and relive the party with their past selves is something else altogether.
'The Expendables 3′ First Look: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Harrison Ford Team Up!
The biggest appeal of the 'Expendables' franchise has always been seeing all your favorite aging action stars on the screen at same time, even when they have no reason to be in the same movie. However, nothing has come close to the pure, unfiltered weirdness of seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger on the same set as Harrison Ford. The former Terminator/Governor shared an image of them on the set of 'The Expendables 3' and it's just plain strange. While they've always existed on the same world, they feel like two people from different dimensions.
'Independence Day 2′: Will Smith to Return After All?
The last time director Roland Emmerich talked about 'Independence Day 2,' original franchise star Will Smith was not going to be involved. At all. He was "too expensive," a "marquee name" who would be "too much." But a few months (and some time to think about the bomb that was 'After Earth') can make all the difference in the world -- it looks like Smith may end up joining the highly anticipated sequel after all.
'Transformers 4′ Confirms the Involvement of Dinobots
'Transformers 4' has been filming for a few months now, but other than the occasional set photo or video of something blowing up, things have been pretty quiet. Little questions like "What's the movie even about?" continue to go unanswered. And to be perfectly honest, those questions will continue to go unanswered for the time being ... but at least we now know that the film will somehow involve robots that can transform into dinosaurs.
'The Expendables 3′ Releases Official Synopsis, Confirms Full Cast
'The Expendables 3' began filming in Bulgaria today, and Lionsgate marked the occasion by sending out a press release that not only confirms most of the crazy ensemble cast but teases a plot that sounds just nutty enough to earn back our attention after the mediocre second film. If you aren't on board the 'Expendables' bandwagon (and we totally wouldn't blame you if you're not), just know that Mel Gibson is playing a character named Conrad Stonebanks. Conrad Stonebanks.
'Star Wars: Episode 7′ May Skip the Summer and Hit Theaters on Christmas 2015
When 'Star Wars: Episode 7' was initially announced, a 2015 release date was attached, leading everyone everywhere to believe that J.J. Abrams' film would arrive in May of that year. And why wouldn't they? All six previous 'Star Wars' films have opened in that month and that month has certainly been kind to the franchise. However, new buzz suggests that while the latest entry in the saga will indeed hit theaters in 2015, it'll break tradition and do so a little later in the year.
Wanna See 'Indiana Jones 5′? Harrison Ford Talks Another Potential Sequel
The last time we saw Indiana Jones, he was encountering aliens and disappointing millions of movie fans all over the world with 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.' Although we're just now washing the taste of that disastrous production out of our mouths, talk of an 'Indiana Jones 5' has long persisted, and now there may be enough distance for us to actually be a little interested. What does series star Harrison Ford have to say on the matter?
'Batman vs. Superman'? 'Man of Steel' Writer David Goyer on Possible Titles for the Crossover
After a few years of cool, iconic titles like 'The Dark Knight' and 'Man of Steel,' it looks like the upcoming Batman and Superman crossover film is going to be a bit more blunt. Although an official title wasn't revealed at the Warner Bros. Hall H presentation at Comic-Con 2013, screenwriter David S. Goyer was a little more candid at a panel celebrating the 75th anniversary of Superman.

Kosciusko County officers have arrested one woman and four men on drug charges stemming from a sting operation in Fulton County last week.
Deputies and detectives arrested the men on drug warrants shortly before 7 a.m. today, according to a written statement from the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department.
It said county detectives arrested Michelle Lee Blankenship, 41, of the 5100 block of West Corly's Lane, Silver Lake, on Friday evening. She was preliminarily charged with dealing a controlled substance and her bond was set at $250,000.
Her arrest followed an operation last week involving the Fulton County and Kosciusko County sheriff's departments and the Indiana State Police.
Kosciusko detectives and Drug Task Force members got information that led to this morning's arrests of the following men on preliminary charges of dealing and possession of a controlled substance:
Travis James Lewis, 18, of Corly's Lane at Silver Lake.
Michael Anthony Lewis, 20, of Corly's Lane at Silver Lake.
Bret Alan Cooper, 18, of County Road 900 West, in the Mentone area.
Dakota Ray Wallace, 22, of Rochester Street in Akron.
Bond was set at $100,000 for each man by the Kosciusko County Prosecutor's Office.
All of the charges were connected to prescription medications, the sheriff's department said. More arrests are expected in both Fulton and Kosciusko counties.

Vaujany Apartment Rental Photos and Description
Fantastic family option, located very close to ski lifts and swimming pool

Very well furnished for personal use, consists of 3 bedrooms; one double room, 1 twin room, and one cabin with double bunk bed. 2 bathrooms, one with shower/bath/WC, the other with shower/WC, an open plan living space including kitchen and large South and West facing balconies overlooking the mountains and down the valley. Ski locker and integral garage and lift. The apartment is 200m from the ski lifts and swimming pool, a great option for a family holiday, with easy to access the slopes quickly and very convenient for ski school and the main facilities in the village including the 25m swimming pool, gym and sauna. The apartment occupies a quiet spot with fantastic panoramic views up the mountain and down the valley. Excellent also for summer activities including mountain biking, climbing, walking with the cable car running from June - August.
Skiing : From Vaujany, you have access to the Grande Rousses massif, the ski resort of Alpe d'Huez and surrounding resorts of Auris-en-Oisans, Huez-en-Oisans, Oz-en-Oisans and Villard Reculas. Access to the region is easy from the apartment – 150 m away is the 160 person cable car that connects you to the region. Highlights of the area include Pic Blanc, the highest peak at 3,300m where you can ski the longest black run in Europe, the famous Sarenne (16km), or the champagne run, 7.5 miles from the top of the glacier to the bottom of La Fare just below the village. In total the 85 lifts serve runs for all level of abilities, including an excellent nursery slope. As well as having one of the best snow records in the Alps, investment has been made to provide guaranteed snow cover. Already equipped with one of the largest snow-production plants, the area now has a second automatic snow production unit, supplying a further 16km of slopes via 285 snow canons.
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
Guestbook comments from the owner
The apartment has fabulous views of the waterfall and the Black piste run back down to Vaujany. There is a large balcony which gets sun most of the day and we found the apartment was very light and airy.
It is very well equipped (most unusual for a ski apartment in France) and is really close to everything in the village - swimming pool, lifts, ice rink and shops.
Highly recommended for a perfect holiday

Weekly Chart Notes: Lorde's 'Royals' Roars Onto Alternative Radio
By Gary Trust
The New Zealand singer/songwriter, just 16, makes the best start on Alternative Songs for a female soloist charting her debut hit in five years
With the aptly-titled single "Royals," Lorde could be on her way to fitting chart domination.
The 16-year-old New Zealander sends her introductory track onto Alternative Songs at No. 30. The debut is the highest for a solo female making her first visit to the airplay chart as a lead artist since M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" (No. 28) nearly five years ago.
It also places her in lofty company with other women who've launched in the chart's top 30 on their first tries, as the four to do so prior to M.I.A. enjoyed notable crossover success (as did M.I.A., whose "Planes" soared to No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 10 on Pop Songs). Natalie Imbruglia arrived with "Torn" (No. 29) in 1998, an eventual 11-week No. 1 on the all-format Radio Songs chart; Meredith Brooks bowed with "Bitch" (No. 28) in 1997, a No. 2 Hot 100 hit; and, in the same week (June 17, 1995), Alanis Morissette bounded in with her signature song "You Oughta Know" (No. 26), while Natalie Merchant began with "Carnival" (No. 28), her first solo single, and a No. 10 Hot 100 hit, after leaving 10,000 Maniacs.
As Lorde begins leaping up Billboard charts – the song jumps 38-23 in its second week on Hot Rock Songs and 28-22 on the adult alternative Triple A chart, while her debut EP "The Love Club" enters the Billboard 200 at No. 191 – her label, Republic Records, is excited about her prospects.
"Not since we launched Gotye ('Somebody That I Used to Know,' the Hot 100's top song of 2012) have we seen such instant reaction, all being driven so far by radio," says Dennis Blair, Republic senior VP of rock promotion.
Radio, indeed, believes that "Royals," with its pure vocals and underdog-themed lyrics, is just beginning its run.
"'Royals' was a one-listen song for me," says Shark, program director of WSUN Tampa, Fla., which played the track 24 times in the past week, according to Nielsen BDS. "It's very, very cool. Most music sung by 16-year-olds is pre-fab, over-produced, Disney Channel-pop. There's an edginess and authenticity to 'Royals' that makes it really stand out.
"The song has been top 10 in our app-based voting since we started playing it and its sales in Tampa are up 160%. It's catching quick."
Triple A KTCZ Minneapolis PD Lauren MacLeash says that "Royals" took a little bit longer to sink in for her: two listens. "The first time I heard it I was like, 'Wow, this is different.' The second time, I got lost in it. It's rare for lyrics to be the first thing to pull you in, but they did for me. Usually, it's a song's rhythm.
"I put 'Royals' on-air and it got immediate social reaction, all positive," MacLeash notes. With KTCZ leading all stations in plays for the song last week (56), she predicts that "this one is going to spread like wildfire across radio. I want us to be known for it before everyone else jumps in."
Michael Martin, PD of alternative KITS San Francisco, which played the song 22 times last week, added 'Royals' once he noticed its buzz building. "Our music director, Aaron Axelsen, brought it to me just as something to check out. It wasn't at the top of our list of must-play-now tunes. But, when I saw the video, listened to the lyrics and saw the sheer number of hits and fan remakes online … you can see there's a wave, a big wave.
"We're riding that wave with our audience. Isn't that what we're supposed to do?"
Republic expects Lorde's debut full-length album, accompanied by tour dates, in the fall.

ASIA/INDONESIA - Priorities for new president Joko Widodo: stop intolerance and guarantee religious freedom
Jakarta (Agenzia Fides) - Priority for the new president of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, and his new government is to address the issue of the growing religious intolerance in Indonesia, which has become a national concern, and that penalizes minorities. The is stated by Churches and NGOs in the aftermath of the announcement of the results of the presidential elections. According to the official count, Widodo (nicknamed "Jokowi") obtained 53.15% of the votes, while his rival, former general Prabowo Subianto – who contests the election results - reached 46.85%. Subianto announced a legal recourse for the review of the results. Widodo has launched an appeal to "national reconciliation", calling for the unity of the nation, for the good of the country.
Intolerance and religious violence remains a serious problem in the country: as noted by the NGO "Christian Solidarity Worldwide" (CSW), in recent years there has been an increase of abuses, discrimination and violence on Christians, Ahmadis and Shia Muslims, followers of traditional indigenous beliefs. The NGO has recently published a report titled "Indonesia: Pluralism in danger. The rise of religious intolerance" (see Fides 26/02/2014), which provides a detailed analysis of the increasing violations of freedom of religion or belief, and proposes 25 recommendations to the Indonesian government.
Widodo, in his political career, has openly defended the freedom of religion and the Indonesian tradition of religious pluralism. In his presidential election campaign he pledged to protect the Constitution, which provides for freedom of religion. In a note sent to Fides, Mervyn Thomas, Director of CSW calls on the new president "to protect and promote freedom of religion in Indonesia, placing it as a priority for the new government. It is urgent to take measures to curb religious intolerance. We hope that the government is committed to enforcing constitutional guarantees on freedom of religion, for example, by removing the indication of religion on identity cards, revising the discriminatory and unjust laws, enforcing the judgments issued by the courts. We hope that Joko Widodo's election inaugurates a new era of freedom of religion, peace and stability in Indonesia". (PA) (Agenzia Fides 24/07/2014)

Man indicted in brutal assault on Bedford doctor, wife during home invasion
Dr. Eduardo W. Quesada, 52, and his wife, Sonia, 29, returned to their luxury home at 7 Proclamation Court about 10 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 24, and found at least one intruder inside. (Union Leader file photo)
Charles Normil , 32, formerly of Lawrence and Worcester, Mass., was indicted on 13 offenses including first and second degree assault, four counts of rape alleging he assaulted Sonia Quesada, 29, with a coat hanger, and attempted murder accusing him of stabbing Dr. Eduardo Quesada, 52, repeatedly in the head with a screwdriver.
The Hillsborough County Superior Court North grand jury handed up the indictments which were made public Thursday.
Normil and another man, who is not identified in the indictments, broke into the couple's 7 Proclamation Court home about 10 p.m. on Nov. 24, according to authorities. Normil allegedly tried to kill the physician by repeatedly stabbing him in the head with a screwdriver. The doctor suffered severe facial wounds, broken bones and bleeding in his brain.
Normil also allegedly repeatedly sexually and physically assaulted Sonia Quesada, who lost sight in one eye. Their 2-year-old daughter was unharmed.
Sonia Quesada was found dead Jan. 7 at her mother-in-law's Bedford home from an overdose of prescription medication. Her death was not a homicide, though manner of death was undetermined.
Hillsborough County Attorney Patricia LaFrance said she was not releasing the name of the second man, who is in federal custody.
She said she has not talked with Dr. Quesada since the indictments, but said he was relieved when investigators notified him that they had two suspects and both were being detained on other charges and off the streets.
Normil is being held in the Essex County jail in Middleton, Mass., on charges related to another home invasion in the Bay State. She will be contacting Massachusetts prosecutors to coordinate the cases and decide on the next step.
She said she did not believe there were strict time restraints in bringing the prosecution, since Normil is being held on criminal charges and awaiting trial in another state, but she said there are also the rights of the victim to have the case resolved.
Normil was indicted on four assault charges, one each of first degree assault and second degree assault in the attacks on Quesada and his wife.
He also was indicted on one count each of burglary and conspiracy to commit burglary, and two counts of falsifying physical evidence, for tossing the doctor's wallet in some woods and discarding clothing.
LaFrance declined to talk about Quesada's recovery, citing his right to privacy.
