IBM to shutter SmartCloud, move customers to SoftLayer
IBM will close its SmartCloud Enterprise service and force customers to migrate to its recently-acquired SoftLayer cloud. News of the migration leaked today when Gartner veep Lydia Leong emitted the following Tweet: IBM has formally notified SmartCloud Enterprise customers of Jan 31st end-of-life. (I'll be blogging on this …
Abandon Ship if on/in a Sub-Prime and Vassal Vessel
Whatever you think of Mueller's opinion, the closure is embarrassing for IBM and scary for others. Cloud is supposedly today's hottest enterprise IT market. That even mighty IBM can't make a go of it bespeaks stormy weather on the horizon.
That be a harbinger of perfect stormy weather on the horizon and fast approaching to do ITs wreaking havoc thing on the likes of IBM and others of the same dinosaur ilk of a content management legacy system. The old dumb stupid way of doing things badly and wrongly, over and over again and expecting things to be better and different in the future, and changed as if by magic, is gone in fields which power and deliver fate and destiny.
There be new players in the hood and on the block and into the Great Game and the ReBooting and ReBranding of IntelAIgent Creative Enterprises with Global Operating Devices.
I could not have put it better myself!
Well I guess now we know why loads of IBM people have been hanging around the Softlayer IRC chan today =)
Seriously though this is the whole reason IBM bought Softlayer in the first place, try not to look too shocked.
Good move
I can't see what the problem is. Softlayer provide an excellent service vs. SCE which was a pretty basic IaaS. Softlayer will provide much more flexibility and options anyhow.
Stormy weather....
Possible some of the info came from the article here (http://www.itnews.com.au/News/362650,ibm-to-fold-smartcloud.aspx) that has since been updated. Key is that SCE is being killed as it was a direct competitor to SoftLayer and, frankly, SoftLayer was/is better in many areas. So IBM has actually done the smart thing in recognising SCE was not what most of the clients wanted - and instead of closing its eyes, plugging the ears, and going 'nanananana' (Blackberry anyone?) it went and bought a company with a service that hits many more of the right marks. Some companies may even have made the newbies change their name so SoftLayer would have become SCE. IBM hasn't done that.... hopefully they can avoid the temptation to change anything else!
So the base IaaS is still there from IBM, just much more competitive and existing users on the old environment are being given the tools to help them move to the new. In addition IBM still has SCE+ (similar name, but totally different fully managed environment) and a sky full of other cloudy things....
Stormy weather ahead ... CodeXSSXXXX Squalls in Futures Derivatives Trading Markets/HFTAlgorithms
In the past, AC, IBM would have been considered and chosen by clients because it was a primitive initiator and/or generator of source. Now it appears to have changed and settled for being a prime aggregator of third party supply, which be a wholly different market which does not lead itself lead but rather more is into support of of lead and potential leading platforms/systems/IP dumps and pumps/pimps.
The magic trick for unparalleled success in those markets is to be able to recognise newly radically canny and fundamentally brilliant savvy players/business heads/intelligence systems.

Starbucks is known for having many delicious drinks on its menu, including hot beverages that are suitable for the cooler weather. One of these drinks is the Pumpkin Spice Latte.
As previously reported, Starbucks is bringing their Pumpkin Spice Latte back early, beginning on August 25, at least for fans who participate in a scavenger hunt on Twitter.

Ever seen someone who is say 5 foot 4 who works out? Chances are they look pretty buff even though they aren't that strong.
Basically they have less space to put it all so they look bigger. Also, a shorter person will be able to lift more weight because their limbs are shorter so they have a shorter distance to travel to lift the weight. Therefore their muscles have to work less hard then a tall person.
Physics: work is force times distance. shorter distance means the muscles don't have to work as hard to lift the same weight(force).
What this means overall is that, even if someone who is 5'4 can bench say 250, a guy who is 6'4 and can bench 220 is still far stronger, even though he looks like an average dude and the short guy looks like the Hulk.

THURSDAY, March 13, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- A large U.S. study suggests environmental pollution might be contributing to autism risk, although the specific culprit toxins remain unknown.
Researchers analyzed medical records and found a correlation between U.S. counties' autism rates and their rates of genital birth defects in boys, which could be a sign of some common environmental contributors.
However, the findings, which were reported March 13 in the journal PLoS Computational Biology, do not prove that any particular environmental exposure directly raises the risk for the developmental disorder, experts said.
There's no "smoking gun," said Alycia Halladay, senior director of environmental and clinical sciences for the advocacy group Autism Speaks.
"This study was not designed to figure out what the [environmental] factors are," said Halladay, who was not involved in the research.
Still, she said, experts believe autism arises from a combination of genetic vulnerability and any number of environmental exposures. Some suspects include infections such as flu during pregnancy, certain prescription drugs taken during pregnancy and environmental toxins.
These latest findings support the "scientific agreement that it's a mix of genes and environment," Halladay said.
The lead researcher on the study agreed. "Both genes and environment are important," said Andrey Rzhetsky, a professor of genetic medicine at the University of Chicago.
The task ahead, Rzhetsky said, is to figure out which environmental exposures matter.
Autism refers to a collection of disorders, usually diagnosed during childhood, that affect language and social skills.
For the study, Rzhetsky's team analyzed nearly 100 million U.S. health insurance claims for a county-by-county look at rates of autism and intellectual disability. They also examined rates of genital malformations in boys -- such as micropenis, undescended testicles and hypospadias (in which the urethral opening is on the underside of the penis).
Those genital malformations were used as an indicator of parents' exposure to environmental pollutants, Rzhetsky said. The exact causes of those birth defects are not clear, but some studies have suggested that certain environmental toxins -- including pesticides and lead -- might play a role, he said.
In this study, county rates of genital birth defects ranged from none to just over 2 percent. Overall, the researchers found, for every 1 percent increase in those birth defects, the rate of autism rose by close to 300 percent.
Even accounting for county demographics, a strong link existed between rates of genital defects and autism, Rzhetsky said.
But the reasons for the correlation aren't clear. Genes could play some role, Rzhetsky said, and so could environmental factors other than pollutants.
Halladay said endocrine disruptors -- chemicals found in plastics, food cans and other everyday products -- have been linked to genital birth defects. But so far, researchers haven't found a connection to autism risk.
On the other hand, some studies have found a link between high exposure to air pollution during pregnancy and an increased autism risk, Halladay said.
Researchers continue to look for the environmental players in autism, Halladay said. Autism Speaks has a program that funds research on the environmental factors -- including toxic exposures and nutrition during pregnancy -- that might affect autism risk.
Rzhetsky said he hopes his team's findings help fuel the interest in that type of research. "There is a lot of research focused on the genetics," he said. "But environment plays a big role."
But chemicals in the environment are only one potential reason autism rates vary across the United States.
Rzhetsky's team also found lower rates of autism in states where regulations require a doctor's diagnosis of autism before kids can qualify for special education.
Halladay said the finding is consistent with past studies suggesting that differences in diagnosis help explain regional differences in autism rates.
A 2012 study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that one in 88 U.S. children had an autism spectrum disorder -- up almost 25 percent from just a few years before. But the rate varied widely, from one in 47 in Utah to one in 210 in Alabama.
Experts speculated that the national increase had a lot to do with better detection, and that differences in awareness and autism services might explain the regional differences.

NAPLES, Fla -- If your Christmas shopping isn't done, well, you're not alone. Every year millions of Americans wait until the last minute and some major retailers are playing into that by staying open all night.
Toys R Us is one of the many stores enticing those last minute shoppers with extended hours. Stores nationwide opened Tuesday morning and have been open 24/7 all week long.
The clock is ticking, but that doesn't seem to bother the ultimate procrastinators. Jay Cullen says, "it's been a tradition for the past 40 years of my life and I stick with it."
A nationwide survey finds there are more last-minute shoppers this holiday season. As of Sunday, 9 percent of shoppers hadn't even started buying for the holidays.
Will Gardner started his shopping Friday. "I'm about an hour in," he says.
There's no denying the crowds and long lines add to an already stressful time of year, but some say there are positives to waiting until the last minute.
"It's very stressful, but at the same time, it's when you get your best deals, some clearance items, things like that. You never know, you might save some money," says Cullen.
Others say there are no positives no matter how you look at it. "I definitely don't enjoy it. I'm very stressed. The things I want to get are going to be gone," says last-minute shopper Ashley Haugen.
Amelia Bailey adds, "This is my first time doing Christmas on my own, so I never realized how stressful Christmas really was until now."
Retail experts have been tracking holiday spending on a weekly basis. After the busy Black Friday rush, sales fell into a lull. Since then, things have picked up, thanks to the most loyal procrastinators.
Cullen says, "It's just the way I've been my whole life, just last minute, get it done and move on."
If you still aren't done with your shopping, you still have time. A number of stores and mall are extending their hours to accommodate the last minute shopper.
Toys R Us stores nationwide opened their doors Tuesday morning and have been open 24/7 since. They plan on staying open again all night, closing at 10 p.m. Christmas Eve.

By MALCOLM RITTER
AP Science Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - Romney? Gingrich? Santorum? The Republican race for the presidential nomination is like a game of musical chairs. It makes you wonder what's going on in the heads of voters as they cast their primary ballots.
But give them a break. Choosing a candidate in a party primary is fundamentally more complicated than in a general election, experts say.
Scholarly research into how voters choose a candidate in primaries is limited, compared with studies of voter behavior in the general election. But as major contests loom in Arizona and Michigan on Tuesday, with Super Tuesday following on March 6, experts agree that voting in primaries is a challenging task.
For starters, you can't simply vote your party. "People use party as a cue extensively in voting," says political scientist David Redlawsk of Rutgers University. It's "the simplest piece of information we normally have. ... Not having that party cue really makes it much more difficult for voters," including independents.
Other complications:
_There are more candidates to consider than just the two leading nominees in November.
_Voters know less about primary candidates than they'll hear later on about the eventual nominees.
_There are generally fewer differences among those candidates than a voter will see between a Republican and Democrat. People who spend a lot of time studying the policy differences "might in fact find themselves more confused than better informed," Redlawsk says.
As his Rutgers colleague Richard Lau sums up in an analysis of the 2008 nominating process, "Voting in primary elections is downright hard."
In fact, Lau's research concludes that voters in primaries and caucuses often do barely better than chance in choosing the candidate who best represents their own values and priorities. (He says voters do far better when the general election rolls around.)
Plenty of party members just stay home; turnout is usually lower than in the general election. That leaves the task to those who are the most interested in politics and their own party.
So what makes a primary voter choose one candidate over the others? Lau says that has proved hard to pin down, but others have some ideas.
Samuel Popkin of the University of California, San Diego, author of a forthcoming book about presidential politics called "The Candidate," says primary voters often face conflicting goals.
"One of the things we know is that there's a constant tension all the time between the ideal and the practical," he said. "You want somebody who's pure and clean and ideal, yet somebody who knows how to wade through the swamp and clean up Washington.
"You want two things that are somewhat incompatible," said Popkin.
Voters want somebody who agrees with them on the issues they care about, although as candidates introduce themselves they need not be very specific about what they'd do if elected, notes Arthur Lupia of the University of Michigan. Voters can get worked up about a bad economy if they see it in their own lives and they hear the government is responsible for wider economic troubles, he said.
And voters also ponder who can win in November. That and the issues were on the mind of Matthew Coker, 20, a political science major at the University of Memphis who cast his first vote ever in a presidential primary the other day. His ballot, filled out in early voting in Tennessee, went for Mitt Romney.
"I want a president that understands economic freedom and understands that the market is best left alone by the government," said Coker. And as for electability, he said he thought Romney would connect with crucial moderate voters better than Rick Santorum or Newt Gingrich because of "the leadership he demonstrated as a conservative Republican governor of a Northeastern blue state, Massachusetts."
Voters care about leadership, trustworthiness, compassion and intelligence, although being too intellectual can hurt a candidate, says political science professor Jon Krosnick of Stanford University. They get hints about that from watching televised debates and campaign events, he said.
In fact, debates have become more influential as their number increases and clips show up on YouTube, he said. Some of their punch comes from news media conclusions that a certain candidate performed strongly or weakly, judgments that can sway voters without a strong preference, said John Geer of Vanderbilt University.
Similarly, a poorly known candidate can pick up support by winning primaries, because that attracts news coverage, usually positive, Geer said.
The news coverage played a role for Mark Fratella, a 34-year-old algebra teacher in Chicago. At various times he favored Romney and Gingrich, but finally settled on Santorum for the upcoming Illinois primary.

Saturday marks 1 year since Cherish Perrywinkle's abduction, killing
Updated On: Jun 20 2014 11:40:00 PM EDT
A year ago Saturday, Rayne Perrywinkle called 911 to report the abduction of her daughter, Cherish, from a Northside Walmart.
Cherish's body was found hours later and 56-year-old registered sexual offender Donald Smith (pictured below) was arrested and charged with kidnapping, raping and killing the 8-year-old girl. Smith is awaiting trial in October.
The case rocked the Jacksonville community last year and had far-reaching consequences for everyone from a grieving mother to how the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office responds to missing persons cases to tougher sexual offender laws passed by the Florida legislature.
Lysa Telzer, a victim's advocate with the Justice Coalition, said she spent Friday with Rayne Perrywinkle (pictured below), who has dealt with everything from the death of her daughter to public debate over whether she was negligent, which prompted a prolonged custody battle for her two other children.
"This is all a fight for Cherish now and justice for Cherish," Telzer said. "Even though I'm with Rayne every week, (we) speak every day, I am not in her shoes. No one is in her shoes. How do you think that someone like this is handling what she's going through. It's been a very difficult year and it's not over, and it will never be over."
Cherish's disappearance ultimately caused a shakeup at JSO, when multiple high-ranking officers were reprimanded for not alerting the public soon enough that a little girl had been abducted.
The case also helped prompt changes in state law. Gov. Rick Scott, citing Cherish's case and others, signed four landmark bills in April to better protect children in Florida from sexual predators. The bills tighten rules and close loopholes for sex offenders to make sure once they are behind bars, they stay there.
"Because we need to stop predators that are walking the streets where they don't belong," Telzer said. "That are out from jail that perhaps shouldn't be out from jail, so that things like what happened to Cherish will never happen again."
News4Jax asked if Rayne Perrywinkle would like to comment on the anniversary and was told she wants to keep her life private right now.

Using criminal history. Even assuming that employers receive accurate and current criminal records that belong to the applicant, there are issues on how to properly use those records. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has issued notices warning employers that the use of a criminal record can have a disparate impact on protected groups. According to the EEOC, if an applicant is not hired due to a prior crime that had no bearing on the job being sought, the background screening can be judged discriminatory.
For example, in one such lawsuit (El v. SEPTA, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, 2008) an applicant claimed that a prospective employer's background screening policy was discriminatory because it unnecessarily disqualified minorities—who were more likely to have criminal records. In the case, SEPTA, a transit company, refused to hire Douglas El because of a 40-year-old murder conviction. El had been convicted of a murder that occurred in a gang fight. He had not been the shooter and was not the only person convicted of the murder.
SEPTA requested summary judgment—a hearing based on the facts of a case without a trial—arguing that the preemployment screening program was required to keep the public safe and was a necessary business practice. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania found in favor of SEPTA. El appealed the decision.
The appeals court also ruled in favor of SEPTA, but it raised significant issues in its discussion of the case that could have ramifications on the use of background checks. First the court refused to determine whether employers are legally allowed to establish a zero-tolerance policy to weed out applicants who might pose an unacceptable level of risk. Instead, the court noted that whether such a policy is consistent with business necessity must be resolved by courts and juries on a case-by-case basis.
In its decision, the court also pointed out that SEPTA produced expert witnesses who stated that criminals are likely to reoffend within the first three years after they are released from prison. But none of the witnesses could say whether a crime committed by an employee 40 years earlier would present a security risk, and El did not present contradictory evidence.
In the written opinion of the case, the court noted that "had El produced evidence rebutting SEPTA's experts, this would be a different case. Had he, for example, hired an expert who testified that there is a time at which a former criminal is no longer any more likely to recidivate than the average person, then there would be a factual question for the jury to resolve."
The EEOC has recommended that employers look at the nature and gravity of the crime, the nature of the job, and the age of the crime to determine whether there is a business justification to deny employment.
Where an arrest did not result in a conviction, employers need to be even more careful. Numerous states have laws that restrict the consideration of arrests not resulting in convictions, and the EEOC has taken the position that an arrest without more is just a police officer's opinion.
Employers can also run into trouble when using automated scoring guidelines, where applicants are placed in categories such as "green" for no record, "red" for a disqualifying criminal record, or "orange" if the situation is not clear. The problem with an automated scoring system is that it can have the effect of being discriminatory if the "red" candidates are automatically rejected without taking into account whether there is a business justification. A best practice would be to have a trained staff member individually review each rejected applicant and document the process.
New York has taken this concept a step further in a law that became effective in February. The new law places a greater emphasis on employers analyzing a past criminal record to determine whether there is a business justification not to hire a person. Companies must consider the duties of the job being offered, the relationship between the offense and the job, how long ago the conviction occurred, the applicant's age at the time of the conviction, how serious the offense was, and how well the applicant is following parole and rehabilitation rules.
The New York law requires that a notice of the factors an employer must consider be provided to job applicants. Employers must also provide applicants with a written notice before a check is conducted and another notice after the check if it uncovers a criminal conviction. (Federal law only requires notification of adverse action.)
Employers are also given some protection under the New York law. When a company finds that a job candidate has a prior criminal history but hires the person anyway, the company is given increased protection in negligent hiring lawsuits if the company made a reasonable and good-faith determination under the factors set out in the New York law that the person should be hired despite a criminal record. If sued, the employer is given a "rebuttable presumption" that the employer was not negligent and that the employee's prior criminal record should not be admitted into evidence to be used against the company.
Credit Reports
Employers must also be aware that similar issues of discrimination surround the use of credit reports. A credit score is not a standard part of an employment credit report, because there is no evidence to suggest that a credit score is a valid predictor of job performance. Much as with a criminal record, for an employer to factor in a credit history, the company should have a job-related justification.
No federal law prohibits conducting credit checks. However, the EEOC has expressed concern that credit checks—like criminal records checks—could lead to discriminatory hiring practices. In 2008, the EEOC released guidance on the use of employment tests during the application process. The agency noted that such guidance was necessary, in part, because the number of lawsuits claiming discrimination based on credit reports and other selection procedures has been on the increase. (Read the EEOC 's report here.)
Though no states have made credit history checks illegal across the board, Washington state passed a law in 2007 that prevents an employer from considering a credit history as part of the hiring decision unless it is substantially job related and the employer's reasons for the use of such information are disclosed to the applicant in writing.
In 2008, the California Legislature passed a bill that would have severely curtailed the use of credit reports for employment, but it was vetoed by the governor.
When might a credit history be relevant to a job? It could be legitimate to check credit history for a position where the person will handle cash. If an employer discovers that a person is saddled with debt, for example, it could be a red flag that the person would be under pressure to embezzle funds.
However, even if the law permits it and it is relevant to the job, employers should tread carefully; credit reports must be taken with a grain of salt. A credit report may contain information that is inaccurate, irrelevant, or out of date.

What a great group of people! One of the founders I knew from blogger, before she started the Spirit Jump program. She directly dealt with cancer so she knows what its like. I believe they both did... they send cards and gifts to cancer patients around the world, to lift their spirits. WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!!! God bless all of them!
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the lives of the cancer patients it touches. People who might possibly have no one, have support and love through the spirit jumpers!

Cancer is the result of gene expression gone awry, with some genes silenced that shouldn't be, and others turned on aberrantly. Now Stephen Baylin and colleagues at Johns Hopkins have identified similarities and differences in gene expression between embryonic cells and cancer cells.
BAYLIN: We know that many of our genes that get really, fully silenced in cancer cells, very stably silenced, they can't be reactivated even if the cell wants to. Those same genes are also marked for silence in the embryonic cells, but there's a fundamental difference. In the embryonic cells the gene is marked for low expression but it has to come on when needed, so it has a mark called polycomb proteins. The cancer cells have some polycomb proteins but they have an additional mark called DNA methylation that really seems to be an abnormal mark. :31
Understanding how this process is regulated points the way toward very targeted cancer interventions. At Johns Hopkins, I'm Elizabeth Tracey.

Republican state Rep. Jeff Stone says lawmakers are greatly frustrated with the state's economic development agency, and they want quick action.
Stone's comments came Wednesday at a board meeting for the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. A recent audit of the job-creation agency found a number of serious missteps.
Stone, a board member, said WEDC is an organization "in intensive care," and lawmakers want to see dramatic improvement quickly.
State Sen. Julie Lassa, a Democrat and fellow board member, said she shared Stone's frustration. She said the agency hasn't done a good enough job of communicating issues to the board, making it difficult for the board to provide proper oversight.
Members of WEDC described steps already being taken to help solve problems, including new procedures for evaluating and tracking loans.

"The Citroen C3 has low running costs and a practical interior, and thanks to its soft suspension it's one of the most comfortable superminis on the market."
While many superminis are billed as being 'sporty', the Citroen C3 has bucked the trend and instead offers the most comfortable ride in its class and an impressively quiet interior. If you want a small car which feels grown-up on the motorway the C3 scores highly, but if you want a fun car to drive, the stylish Citroen DS3 or Ford Fiesta will suit you much better.
With five doors, access to the roomy rear seats is easy and the C3 also has a rather large 300-litre boot. It's one of the most spacious small cars on offer, with just the tall Honda Jazz offering significantly more room.
Avoid the 1.6-litre petrol and all the engines are highly economical, with every diesel version topping 70mpg and most being tax-exempt. Performance is a little sluggish, but most versions are similar to rivals and feel quick enough for town driving and longer trips.
Not sure what you're looking for? Find out what we think is the best small car by watching our video below.
MPG, running costs & CO2
Most Citroen C3 models return impressive fuel economy, just avoid the 1.6-litre petrol
Every diesel version of the Citroen C3 is extremely economical, returning more than 72mpg. In fact, emissions are so low, only the HDi 70 in the VTR+ trim level incurs road tax, setting you back £20 each year. The e-HDi Airdream with the EGS automatic gearbox is the cleanest, returning 83.1mpg and emitting 87g/km of CO2, but we'd recommend a manual gearbox version, which still have great fuel economy and a better driving experience.
If you'd rather have a petrol, there's a 1.0-litre VTi 68, a 1.2-litre VTi 82 and a 1.6-litre VTi 120. The smaller engines both return more than 60mpg and are either free or cost £20 to tax making them very cheap to run. But we'd avoid the 1.6-litre as it can only manage 49.6mpg and 132g/km (42.8mpg and 150g/km if the automatic gearbox is fitted), costing £130 annually to tax and making it rather costly to run for a small supermini.
The Citroen comes with a three-year/60,000-mile warranty, while there's also a servicing package which allows you to pay in advance for the first three years/36,000 miles of vehicle services. The C3 should be cheap to insure with versions ranging from group 8 to 18, but both the Volkswagen Polo and Skoda Fabia include versions in lower groups.
Engines, drive & performance
The Citroen C3 majors on comfort, and rivals are more fun as a result
With such a focus on comfort, the C3 isn't as fun to drive as the Citroen DS3, Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo, because it has very light and rather vague steering and a tendency to lean through corners. But these characteristics also make the C3 very easy to drive in town and it's surprisingly comfortable for longer motorway trips, where it is also very quiet.
Our picks from the engine range would be the 1.2-litre VTi 82 petrol and 1.6-litre e-HDi 90 diesel, which offer acceleration from 0-62mph in 12.3 and 11.3 seconds respectively when fitted with a manual gearbox. We'd avoid the EGS automatic, because its slow and jerky gear changes blunt performance. If you really need an automatic supermini, the Polo fitted with a DSG gearbox is far smoother to drive.
The entry-level petrol and diesel engines have around 70bhp and can feel underpowered unless you are just driving around town. The 1.6-litre VTi 120 should feel nippy with 0-62mph achieved in a brisk 8.9 seconds, but it doesn't feel as quick in reality and sounds rather strained when driven with gusto.
Interior & comfort
The Citroen C3 delivers the comfort of a bigger car and has a pleasant cabin
Developing the Citroen C3 and DS3 alongside each other has allowed the French manufacturer to take two different approaches. While the DS3 is quite sporty, the C3 is unashamedly comfortable, with soft suspension designed to soak up bumps and seats designed for long trips rather than gripping you in the corners.
Material quality on top-of-the-range trim levels is good, with attractive leather highlights which are pleasing to touch. Entry-level models don't feel as upmarket, but still benefit from a painted dashboard insert which lifts the ambience. The top version even has a removable scented pod which wafts its fragrance through the air vents.
The C3 has tall windows which give you a great view of the road, along with thin pillars either side of the windscreen carefully designed to minimise your blind spots at junctions and roundabouts. The C3 is also available with a 'Zenith' windscreen which stretches back over your head to allow more light into the cabin.
Practicality & boot space
A large boot and five doors make the Citroen C3 highly practical
As well as being more comfortable than the Citroen DS3, the C3 is also more practical thanks to its 300-litre boot. This is also larger than you'll find in a Ford Fiesta (290 litres), Volkswagen Polo (280 litres) and Peugeot 208 (285 litres). In fact, it's only 16 litres smaller than you'll find in a Ford Focus. But, it's not class-leading, that honour goes to the Honda Jazz which has 379 litres of space behind the rear seats.
You get 60:40 split-folding rear seats as standard, with 1,121 litres of space with them pushed forwards. Unfortunately they don't fold flat, so large items will need to sit at a slight angle. The boot opening itself is rather narrow, with a high loading lip, so large boxes can be a tight squeeze.
Inside the cabin, the glovebox is smaller than it looks as half its space is taken up with a fuse box, but there's better news elsewhere. The larger door bins and other cubbyholes around the cabin mean there are plenty of places for your phone, snacks and wallet. Unlike the three-door DS3, the C3 is only available with five doors, making getting in and out of the back much easier. A relatively tall roof also means rear space is pretty good, with decent headroom for a small car.
Reliability & safety
Poor customer satisfaction and a four-star crash test result make the Citroen C3 less than desirable
Not enough owners rated the Citroen C3 for it to appear in the 2014 Driver Power customer satisfaction results, but the mechanically similar DS3 performed well, ranked 37th out of 150 models. However, the Citroen brand slipped two places to 26th out of 32 manufacturers, which could be a concern when you need to take your car to a dealership for servicing or repairs. Worryingly, owners scored build quality poorly, with only Alfa Romeo rated worse.
The C3 was also given a sub-par safety score, with four-stars in Euro NCAP crash testing, despite the similar DS3 being given five stars. It was marked down because technology to help prevent skids is not standard across the range, while curtain airbags are also not available with the entry-level trim. A spare wheel is provided as standard.
Price, value for money & options
Entry-level Citroen C3 models don't get much equipment but mid-spec cars look like good value
The Citroen C3 is available in VT, VTR+ and Exclusive trim levels, with the entry-level trim being very basic. A CD player, remote central locking and trip computer are standard, but you'll need to upgrade to VTR+ to benefit from air-con, cruise control, Bluetooth and leather touches inside the cabin. The range-topping Exclusive grade brings the panoramic 'Zenith' windscreen, air-freshener, climate control, folding door mirrors and ambient lighting. Citroen traditionally offers good discounts, so it's worth looking out for special deals or haggling to secure a better specification.
Options include rear parking sensors for £270, the 'Zenith' windscreen for £300 and a sat-nav system, with reversing camera and parking sensors for £950.
The C3 should perform well come resale time, with a particularly strong demand for the most economical petrol and diesel versions. But it's unlikely to hold its value as well as the sportier Citroen DS3 or desirable Volkswagen Polo, with its upmarket image and excellent build quality.

(Update) Ohio health care amendment only initiative to file signatures so far
July 6, 2011
By: Al Ortiz
Contact: Brittany Clingen
COLUMBUS, Ohio: Ballot measure developments have been plentiful in Ohio. On June 29, supporters of the Senate Bill 5 veto referendum turned in a record 1.3 million signatures to the Ohio Secretary of State. Around the same time, the Ohio State Legislature sent a measure to the ballot that would increase the age of judicial office holders from 70 to 76.
Now, with the 2011 petition drive deadline arriving, supporters of the proposed health care amendment are planning to submit more than 500,000 signatures to get their proposal on the 2011 ballot, according to reports.
When contacted by Ballotpedia, as of 4 p.m. EST, the only initiative to file signatures for the ballot was indeed the health care measure. The Elections Division at the secretary's office commented to Ballotpedia that it is unknown how many signatures were filed, but will know by the morning of July 7.
According to reports out of the state, however, supporters filed more than 546,000 signatures. Reports are also stating that the secretary of state's office has until July 26, 2011 to verify those signatures.[1][2]
The proposed health care ballot measure calls for exempting residents of Ohio from national health care mandates which would stop any state law from forcing persons, employers or health care providers from participating in a health care system. It is being sponsored by The Ohio Project.[3]
Supporters of any ballot proposal have until the end of the business day to submit their signatures to the secretary's office.
Measures that are initiated constitutional amendment's, such as the health care initiative, must turn in at least 385,245 valid signatures.
