Student Protests Shake South Korea Government
Despite reform efforts, scandals weakened President Roh's credibility
A WEEK of student protests across South Korea, including three self-immolations, has highlighted the emerging status of President Roh Tae Woo as a lame-duck leader. The string of protests, which are expected to continue into mid-May, were triggered last week after riot policemen beat a university freshman to death.
The incident fueled fears that President Roh, who is constitutionally barred from running again in an election next year, might be resorting to harsh measures as his political power weakens toward the end of his term.
Mr. Roh's associates warn that his ability to rule will increasingly experience what is called noo soo, or a "leakage" of power, as people and politicians anticipate a takeover of government by Roh's successor.
In South Korea, where democratic institutions are new and still mistrusted, an old-style perception persists that a leader with a predestined end is already spent, and sometimes dangerous.
Roh has also suffered from a perceived inability to check the clout of big business, resulting in what is known as "the politics of shocks." Roh was elected in 1987 after protests toppled the dictatorship of his military colleague, Chun Doo Hwan.
In recent months, for instance, South Korea has been rocked by a high-level bribery scandal, a massive leak of a toxic industrial chemical, and skyrocketing prices of urban land caused by speculators, among other problems. Such events helped to fuel the protests, even at a time when the public has grown weary of student demonstrations.
"We have no apparatus to contain the influence of big business," says Nam Jae Hee, a National Assembly member and a leader of the president's Democratic Liberal Party (DLP).
Roh will need to take stern steps in coming months to stem any weakness arising from his lame-duck status, Mr. Nam says.

"This card was exactly what we were looking for. It is simple and beautiful. The card stock was thick and felt very high end. We used these as adoption announcements for our daughter and changed the text to read "Coming Soon." The ability to customize the announcement was greatly appreciated as she is not an infant. All in all we received exactly what we expected to receive and have already recommended this site to our friends."
"This card is so beautiful, family members called specifically to comment on its quality. It is a treasured momento for family members! I couldn't be happier."
"This was a great product - I was able to easily personalize this item to make it an invitation for a ladybug themed birthday party that turned out absolutely adorable!"
"We used these announcements as our annual Christmas card this year and they are absolutely beautiful. We printed them on the white shimmer card stock and it gave them the special added touch we were looking for. The quality was impeccable and they were printed and shipped within days of placing our order. We couldn't be happier!"
"Everything was perfect about this card... Colors, design, photo and paper quality... It was flawless. I ordered the cut-out design and it was gorgeous! I only gave 4 stars for delivery because I wish the production time was a little quicker, but overall this is a great product from a great company! Would highly recommend to anyone!"

Lockport residents worry about industry near homes
By Frank Vaisvilas Correspondent September 4, 2014 9:00PM
Updated: October 8, 2014 6:21AM
Residents from the Creekside Estates subdivision in Lockport and from an unincorporated area are upset about a possible light-industrial development near their homes.
"You have it in your power to make Lockport an industrial city or a residential city," Creekside Estates resident Ron Saletto told aldermen at a city council committee meeting this past week.
Aldermen spent much of Wednesday night's meeting trying to convince residents that there isn't anything they can do to deny a request by Lockport Investments to annex and rezone 64.5 acres west of Interstate 355 and north of 151st Street for light-industrial use.
The undeveloped land is between two large sites, also not developed, with the eastern one zoned for offices and the one to the west zoned for light industry.
The three vacant properties are sandwiched between the 108-home Creekside Estates subdivision to the south and Lockport Heights, an unincorporated area, to the north. The Creekside Estates homeowners worried about the use of the land are from a section of the subdivision that consists of 38 houses.
Mayor Steven Streit said he didn't think it was responsible urban planning to place light-industrial zoning between two residential areas, but "that's kind of where the chips fell" when the zoning was created decades ago.
Many homeowners apparently didn't know that much of the land near their houses was zoned for light-industrial use.
Ald. Darren Deskin (3rd) said residents told him that if they knew about the zoning they wouldn't have bought their houses, but he said the city zoning map is available for public inspection.
Ald. Pete Colarelli (1st) explained to residents that Lockport Investments has a right to develop its land, and the proposed annexation and rezoning comply with Lockport's Interstate 355 Corridor Master Plan.
"Because this is a reasonable request, if the city were to deny it we could set ourselves up for some legal liability," Colarelli said.
City officials said no development plan has been submitted yet for the 64.5-acre site, but when one is proposed, it would available for public review.
In a 7-0 vote, the city plan commission last month recommended that the developer's annexation and zoning requests be approved, and the city council is scheduled to vote on the proposals at its Sept. 17 meeting.

It's a Starbucks world. (We only sip in it.)
A journalist asks: How did a modest Seattle coffeehouse become a global juggernaut?
Paying $5 for a paper cup of beans infused in tap water is surely an act of stunningly bad personal economics. Plenty of us commit it regularly, of course, queuing up for gourmet coffee while complaining about the price of gas – a relative bargain even if we can't get it half-unleaded and with a tank-topping froth of STP.
You can just flick that fact into the H.L. Mencken file: further evidence that no one ever went broke low-balling our collective capacity for thinking. Or you can view it as an opportunity for a little sociological investigation.
Taylor Clark works that second approach in Starbucked: A Double Tall Tale of Caffeine, Commerce, and Culture. One of five recent books examining the Seattle-based day-spa-cum-coffee-dispensary, "Starbucked" is a breezily written business yarn with plenty of big-picture punch.
Clark, a former alt-weekly writer from Oregon, also has his Mark Kurlansky moments, taking readers all the way to the Ethiopian highlands, maintaining that Beethoven liked to count out 60 beans for his ideal cup, and describing the Mr. Coffee revolution of 1972, in which the cheap drip-brewer opened US consumers' eyes to variations in quality and flavor. Frankly, by the time Gabriel de Clieu – who sailed to Martinique with a coffee seedling between his knees – comes up late in the book, you might feel you've read enough about the commodity through time.

CREWS were expected to be still at work today at the Port of Portland cleaning up a spill of hot liquid pitch that began escaping from an insulated storage tank on Saturday afternoon.
The CFA was called at about 2.45pm on Saturday after an outlet pipe attached to a 4000 tonne tank ruptured, allowing the pitch to leak into a bund.
Firefighters and a hazmat unit from Warrnambool poured thousands of litres of cold water onto the hot pitch oozing from the tank.
Along with the CFA, Victoria Police, DSE, SES, Rural Ambulance Victoria, the Port of Portland, the Environment Protection Authority and Glenelg Shire all had officers on the scene.
Smoke and vapour from the scene initially resulted in a warning for residents in the vicinity to keep doors and windows closed, and not to use air conditioners.
Eleven CFA crews worked throughout the day yesterday, to cool more than 250 tonnes of the pitch.
A number of roads, including busy Bentinck St, were closed for a time. The boat ramp was also closed and some water activities suspended. However, professional fishermen were allowed to re-enter the port just before noon yesterday. The Port of Portland was completely closed as a precaution.
The vapour from the scene had subsided late yesterday, and CFA incident controller Henry Barton said there was no longer any impact on the residential areas. As a result the warnings to remain indoors were lifted, and he said it was safe to open windows and doors.
The only closures in affect late yesterday were the Lee Breakwater Rd, Madeira Packet Rd (from Findlay St) and the Henty Hwy (from the Greenmount link), which were all in place to exclude people from the port area unless they had a valid reason to be in the area.
There have been no reports of any injuries or property damage resulting from the spill.
A community meeting was held at Hanlon Park at 8pm last night, when representatives of the CFA, Port of Portland, Victoria Police, Ambulance Victoria and the Glenelg Shire presented up-to-date information on the incident to a crowd estimated at between 60 and 80 people.
Mr Barton, the CFA incident controller, repeated the history of the incident, and then said that the EPA had monitoring equipment in the area of the tanks and in the wider community that would alert them of any emissions.
He said the pitch was leaking at a rate of five tonnes an hour, but the CFA and other agencies were working together to deal with the incident and to allow residents and businesses to operate as usual.
More details available in Monday's edition and more to follow in Wednesday's edition.

I bought a variegated hosta and planted it under my purple maple and they are not doing so well. I think I know why but first have to understand I knew zip about plants and gardening when this happened. I bought this hosta and the sales lady at the nursery told me there was at least 5 hosta's in the pot. When I took it out of it's pot the roots were so clumped together that I took a lot of strength to pull the pieces apart. Now I know I should have cut it apart instead of pull it apart. I planted them and watered them regularly. They were turning yellow and the leaves were shriveling up so I thought I was over watering them and cut back on the water. They are still not doing so well. They looked like they were growing for awhile and now they look sick again. What should I do?
Thanks Jolene |

Maples have tons of surface roots and are terrible about stealing the water from anything growing near or under them. Check the soil near the hostas about 4 inches deep after you've watered them. If you're not getting the soil damp at least that deep, the hostas are too dry. Then check every couple of days to see if they need watering again. If it's too wet that deep, hold off on watering, but they can tolerate really wet soil. Most often hostas are either too dry or in too much sun when you see the leaves shriveling and drying up. July is not an especially good time to divide hostas. You should have waited till next spring. That said, they should survive the division if everything else is ok. Good luck. |
The first thing I thought of was the "five" plants that the nursery lady said. Most hostas bought in pots may indeed have what looks like five little plants but they are too small to divide at this point and also in July. I would have tried to find a spot as Sandy said somewhere around the roots to accomodate the hosta. If they survive give them time before moving again with the watering suggested by Sandy. Hostas are fun and interesting plants to grow. A couple of good books to help you might be "the hosta book, second edition, by Paul Aden and hostas by Rosemary Barrett. So many to choose, have fun. |

Thank you both for the advise. I will definately do what you suggested. I didn't do this in July, I devided them and planted them in May. They were growing very slowly then stopped and are drying up. I follow your instructions and report back when they are doing better, or kick the bucket Thanks again Jolene |

You do NOT need a license to vote. You just need to establish that you have a right to vote. Simply showing up does not bestow that right. There must be a vehicle or mechanism to enable that right. It is called an ID card. You do NOT have the God given right to come cast a ballot in MY voting precinct unless you live here and have the franchise by fact of being a citizens resident in the precinct. It eliminates one means of Democrat voter fraud (the most important reason why they loudly protest against it).
The biggest supporters of segregation were and are progressives because that is how they build and define their support base, the people they have stepped on and then use class warfare to hold them.
Obama has been trying to manufacture a false flag excuse to go to war with Syria and now with Iranian gun boats nearing the US in a pitiful show of force he may get what he wants.
It is a slam dunk the Democrat Party is Communist. Point Blank.
At the last big party conclave they voted THREE times to remove God from the platform and LOUDLY booed Him. They have substituted worship of Obama for worship of God. The commies have a paranoid fear that churches are being used to organize against them so they have weasels infiltrate to keep an eye on them.
We know who is pushing the anti-Christian pro-muslim attitudes in the US.
The question is: Will this pope be a "Go along to get along" politician? In the US, most bishops are political animals first.

Takashi Miike's moving tale of 'Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai'
A movie review of "Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai," directed by wildly prolific Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike ("13 Assassins"). A portrait of good people in desperate circumstances, the film is remarkably sensitive and moving — the few scenes of bloodshed emotionally intense rather than showily sensational.
The New York Times
'Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai,' with Ebizo Ichikawa, Eita, Hikari Mitsushima. Directed by Takashi Miike, from a screenplay by Kikumi Yamagishi, based on the story "Ibun Ronin Ki" by Yasuhiko Takiguchi. 126 minutes. Not rated; for mature audiences. In Japanese, with English subtitles. SIFF Cinema at the Uptown.
The New York Times does not provide star ratings with reviews.
A movie called "Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai" might lead you to expect an orgy of violence, especially since the director is Takashi Miike, a wildly prolific Japanese filmmaker best known for sanguinary delights like "Audition" and "13 Assassins." But "Hara-Kiri" finds Miike in a quiet, even classical frame of mind.
More moving than shocking, it proceeds slowly and gracefully, and the few scenes of bloodshed are emotionally intense rather than showily sensational.
Set in the early 1600s, the film evokes an august Japanese cinematic tradition. It seems to pay particular tribute to Masaki Kobayashi, director of "Samurai Rebellion" (1967) and an earlier "Harakiri" from 1962. Miike's movie is not precisely a remake, but it explores a similar premise.
The samurai Hanshiro (Ebizo Ichikawa), cast adrift after the dissolution of the noble house he served, arrives at the estate of a feudal lord requesting permission to commit ritual suicide in the courtyard. The warriors of the estate suspect a "suicide bluff," an attempt to use the codes of honor and sacrifice to solicit employment or charity, and they treat Hanshiro to a cautionary tale (told in flashback) about a young man who had recently made a similar request.
Seen through the eyes of his tormentor, this young man, Motome (Eita), appears callow and foolish. But as we learn about his relationship with Hanshiro, a sadder, more delicate picture emerges. He was a gentle, scholarly soul, unsuited for the brutal world that eventually destroyed him. The long, lovely middle section is a melancholy drama involving the two men and Hanshiro's beloved daughter, Miho (Hikari Mitsushima), Motome's childhood friend and, later, his wife.
Court politics and bad luck plunge their household into hard times, and as a portrait of good people in desperate circumstances, "Hara-Kiri" is remarkably sensitive and moving.
Old-fashioned as it is, the film does make an important concession to the new, namely its embrace of 3-D. While the format sometimes creates an intriguing illusion of depth, the tinting of the glasses darkens images that are already shadowy. The clarity of the tale and the subtlety of the acting deserve better.

How To Remove Cadillac Rear Speakers
You want to replace your speakers in your Cadillac and want to know how to remove Cadillac rear speakers. Whether your speakers have blown or you just want to upgrade them, you can save money by removing the Cadillac rear speakers yourself. Even though a Cadillac is considered a luxury vehicle, it is not as difficult as one may think to remove the rear speakers. When a speaker blows it can sound very distorted and sound almost unbearable, or it may not give out any sound at all. Removing Cadillac rear speakers can be done in a short amount of time by following a few basic steps.
To remove Cadillac rear speakers you need:
- a screwdriver
- Locate the black boxes in the trunk. Open the trunk of your Cadillac and search for two black boxes. These black boxes can usually be found in the trunk somewhere underneath the edge of the rear window.
- Remove the speaker covers. The black boxes are the speaker covers that protect the speakers. Locate the black plastic screws that hold the speaker cover and place and use a screwdriver to remove them from the cover. This will give you access to get to the actual Cadillac rear speaker.
- Remove the electrical wires. Once you remove the speaker cover there will be a black outer cover over the Cadillac rear speakers. Pull this black cover down and you will be able to see the electrical connectors. Carefully remove the electrical wires that run to the back of the speakers.
- Remove the Cadillac rear speakers. First, remove the retaining screws holding the speakers in their place. Next, pull the speakers up and out of the trunk of the Cadillac.

Destinations -> The Best Places to Visit in Riga -> St. John's Lutheran Church, Riga
St. John's Lutheran Church, Riga
Originally on the site of the Church of St. John was a monastery founded by the Dominicans in 1234 and named after St. John the Baptist. After numerous surgeries, around 1500 the church acquired its present appearance - with a high Gothic stepped gable, a gable roof and a small turret. In 1523 the town hall at the Dominican Convent selected. Latvian parish acquired in the property in 1582.However, a small Lutheran parish church of the monastery was too small, and in 1587 - 1588 the Church of St. John's expanded and completed its construction with an addition to the altar. In the 18th century the church several times suffered and as a result it has been rebuilt. The tower of the church, preserved until today, was built in 1849 by the architect Felsko. There is a legend that in the 15th century, two monks of the monastery were like to be canonized. They live immured in the wall of the monastery. While they were alive, they were fed from Riga to specifically a hole left in the wall. However, after the death of the monks, their father had not declared saints. The remains of the monks are still in the monastery, and in memory of their deaths there is a cross-shaped hole made in the outer wall.

Fantastic New Cheerios Commercial is for Dads [Video]

Pancake Sunday was a tradition in my family. I looked forward to those mornings when my mother poured her homemade buckwheat batter onto a warm griddle. Yummmm.
I haven't met a pancake I didn't like, but over the years I've come to find my favorite.
So, what are my favorite pancakes, you ask?
They are fluffy, chocolatey, whole wheat Almond Joy Pancakes, with plenty of chocolate chips, shredded coconut and sliced almonds. Breakfast from the heavens. They're made with quality ingredients, too, including unsweetened organic coconut, almond milk and the oh so wonderful coconut oil. It's definitely a healthier pancake if you ask me!
I've been working with Crash's Landing Non-Profit/No-Kill Animal Shelter for about 8 years now, as long as I've lived in Grand Rapids. Anytime there is a chance to raise some money for them and it means yummy food I just have to pass it on!
This Saturday, October 22nd, please join us for the ALL YOU CAN EAT Pancake breakfast
Best breakfast in Grand Rapids? So many great places in town. Any would be great right now. Rushed out of the house without eating. What a blunder. The majority of us believe it's important to eat breakfast every day, but many also admit it's not always easy to fit the meal into a hectic morning
All right. Here's the rundown.
Flowers are the big number one. No surprise there. That's the way most people go year after year, and moms love it, so why not? My mom has a green thumb, so I go with potted every year, but your mom might prefer cut. It's up to you.

Multiple Recurrent De Novo CNVs, including Duplications of the 7q11.23 Williams Syndrome Region, are Strongly Associated with Autism
Year Published:
A recent collaborative study identified six genetic mutations that are strongly associated with autism spectrum disorder, including an area of DNA that likely holds clues to understanding the nature of human social behavior. The researchers estimate that these mutations represent only a few of the hundreds of spontaneously arising variants that are likely to increase autism risk. Using gene chip or microarray technology, the researchers analyzed the genomes of over 1,100 families with a single child on the autism spectrum, and compared the results of affected and unaffected siblings. The DNA samples analyzed in the study were part of the Simons Simplex Collection. The scan revealed a variety of copy number variants (CNVs) -- genetic mutations that can range from micro-deletions and duplications to large sequences of missing or additional DNA. Notably, one of the non-inherited or de novo CNVs was located on a genetic region linked to Williams-Beuren syndrome, a rare disorder that causes people to be extremely social, overly trusting, and highly empathetic.While loss of DNA from the area results in Williams-Beuren syndrome, gain of extra DNA in this area is associated with autism, which is marked by difficulty with social interaction and lack of empathy. This region's connection with both disorders suggests its importance in understanding the nature of the social brain. The study also supports earlier findings of higher rates of de novo CNVs in people with autism compared to their unaffected siblings. Uncovering the genetic basis of autism is critical to understanding the neurobiology underlying the disorder and may aid in developing targeted treatment approaches for different subtypes.

Top 10 Turnaround Tips for GM/Ford/Chrysler
Posts: 3
As an economist who cares much about the U.S. auto industry I think it would be helpful to send a clear set of tips to the U.S. makers about the best ideas from readers of this forum to help them turn their products and profitability around.
The best suggestions from outsider car enthusiasts will hopefully seep into their plans and actually take root in future actions.
I challenge all readers to contribute their best (top 10) ideas on this forum and, before July 1, '06 to read as many tips and respond again by voting for the best ideas to be made available for GM/Ford/Chrysler executives to read.

It's that simple. If we all become millionaires, we can buy 2 cars from GM, 2 from Ford, 2 from Chrysler, thus saving the domestic car company's :surprise:

lemko Posts: 15,23010. No FWD Buicks or Cadillacs. Luxury and near luxury cars should be RWD/AWD. Same goes for serious performance cars. Impala SS = RWD. Monte Carlo = RWD. I'm sure a lot of people would like their own NASCAR racer.
9. If OHC/DOHC is what the public wants, give it to them.
8. If the public wants hybrids, give them hybrids.
7. Work with suppliers as does Toyota and Honda. Don't beat them up over pennies. Quality components make quality cars. Maybe the components will cost more, but think of the expense as an investment rather than a cost.
6. Don't let shareholders push you around and make you focus on short-term gains. Do as your competition does and look at the long-term. Better quality = increased sales = increased dividends.
5. If you demand sacrifices of your workers, make real sacrifices yourself and set an example. Show them you're serious by throwing away your "golden parachute" and show them you will be just as screwed if the company sinks as the guy on the factory floor. Heck, if I were CEO, I'd go down to the factory floor myself and bolt cars together to serve as an example.
4. First beancounter who wants to sacrifice quality for cost savings gets fired and is permanently banished from the auto industry.
3. Just reverse-engineer a Camry and/or Accord and match or exceed the quality.
2. Get rid of troublesome dealers. You could have the best darn product in the world, yet these idiots will give you a bad reputation. Pull their franchise and give it to somebody deserving.
1. Concentrate on CARS! You got trucks and SUVs down pat. -
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,1781. Kill off your "dead" brands....Pontiac, Lincoln.
2. GM: Push Corvette further upscale. Ditch the XLR after you do that.
3. Begin an IMMENSE dealer training program to vastly improve the sales and service interface with the customer. WARNING: the "car wars" of tommorow will be won IN THE SHOWROOMS and SERVICE OUTLETS.MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
mirth Posts: 1,212- Increase warranty periods. You don't have to match the Koreans, but beat everyone else.
- Innovate - beat the imports with technical advances. Stop playing catch-up.
- Don't just make the cars "as good as" the competition - leap frog them. Beat them on everything: power, fuel-efficiency, styling, safety, price. You're going to have offer MUCH better value than the competition to steal sales.
- Come out with more new models faster. You're getting killed in this by the imports.
- Stop badge-engineering everything to death (Chevy/Pontiac/Buick, Ford/Mercury). Come out with one model and keep improving it year over year. -
anythngbutgm Posts: 4,182Why is there even a debate about a Chrysler turnaround? Sales are up something like 3% for them and has anyone seen the snipets on the new Sebring/Stratus/Avenger? Seems that a Fusion-like effort is in store for the next generation. Also, 300 sales (And their siblings) aren't showing any signs of slowdown. The Caliber is here, and looks promising and the Dodge trucks still manage a top ten leader in sales. If anything, I think MB needs the turnaround more than Chrysler, even though I don't see Mercedes floundering that badly...
And over at Ford, the Mustang is huge, the Fusion twins are garnering plenty of attention, the F-series Trucks are still #1 in sales and with the infusion of the 3.5l in the lineup, the 500 and Freestyle look to increase their appeal. Seems like Ford has gotten there act together, or is at least TRYING to get together. The efforts are already showing.
It's hilarious how things are playing out. Really it is. GM is (has been)floundering so badly, all the garbage that they have been putting out on the market is finally catching up to them and they are on a brink of Chapter 11 (NO I didn't say going out of Business). But all the Pro-demestic GM diehards are lumping the group into the misery? :confuse:
Why? To get more not-so-GM diehards into the scare as well? Think "Hey GM has a problem right now, let's make it look like the others do too!?!?" I don't get it. :confuse:
I guess since Toyota is revving up to be the #1 Automaker very soon, that means all other import brands are as well huh? -

lemko Posts: 15,230...competitor - make the DTS RWD already! They're getting there on the interior. Love that clock! As the DTS is, it would make a nice cost-effective replacement for my 2002 Seville STS. I'd say the Acura is more of a Buick competitor. For an instant Maybach competitor - the Sixteen is ideal! Heck, if I had that much disposable income, I'd be first in line for a Sixteen!
fintail Posts: 34,498It might take a little more than a RWD conversion for the DTS. That alone wouldn't make the car a player in the 80K+ market. The car would have to become completely detached from fleets.
The Sixteen could play in the Rolls/Maybach arena, in the US anyway. It'd be big in NYC and Vegas for sure. -
b3nut Posts: 83Not going to come up with a list of 10, but I'll toss a few overly-verbose musings that came to me into the mix here...
1) Take small hatchbacks seriously. The mediocre Chevywoo Aveo doesn't cut the mustard - it can't hit the MPG that all of its competitors can. Detroit execs: See the Scion xA? The new Kia Rio5? The Honda Fit (which inexplicably gets poorer mileage than the Civic, but that's another thread)? Make something like that. Except tune it so it'll hit over 30mpg in the city and 40-45mpg highway, like late 80's Civics used to. (so much for advancing technology...) Hey Ford? I've one word for you guys...Fiesta. 'nuff said. Which leads to...
2) Quit giving Europe the really cool cars and leaving your own countrymen with the pitiful leftovers (can we say Focus, boys and girls?) Where's our Opel Astra hatch? Why is the Chevy Cobalt's trunk opening so tiny (especially on the coupe, which by all rights should have been a liftback like the Scion tC)? I bet even the Ford Ka would be a hit in some markets, especially larger cities like Chicago.
3) Dodge: you don't have to make *every* vehicle you sell look like it's yawning. The semi-tractor-wannabe grill slapped on an economy hatch doesn't work, guys. Nice job on the Caliber otherwise.
4) I'll second the dealership improvement suggestions. Especially for Ford. I've lucked out in finding a really good one, but the biggest one in town is wretched. And here's how you fix your dealers, suggested to me by a friend who worked in Ford HQ: Make the upper managers and CEO get their Fords serviced at the same dealerships the customers have to deal with. Ditto with GM and DCX.

varmint Posts: 6,326Ford - Stop designing and building limited production models. The T-Bird? The GT? When these vehicles fail, you come back and tell us they were never intended to be full run vehicles. Then why on earth build them?
You lost your reputation by building lousy cars for the average consumer. The path to earning it back also lies in the cars for average consumers. Stop wasting money on showroom bling bling.
Chrysler - Figure out what made the 300C a success and apply it to a smaller vehicle. (No it wasn't the grill.) Try that instead of rebadging the orginal to death. Also, don't let the 300C wither on the vine. All these rebadged variants should not stop you from redesigning the thing on a 5 year cycle.
Chevy - Get botox injections into the lips and find the nearest Toyota bottom. -
john_324 Posts: 974T-bird and GT are halo cars...they're not meant to sell well, but to give excitement and prestige to a brand. Every car company should have a few like this...it's so "American". Just don't get carried away like Chrylser did with the Plymouth Prowler.
Re the 300C, I think there's a place for both it and the Charger. Just need to differentiate them more...Charger should get more performance stuff, while the 300C can get more luxurious. But the difference has to be real, not just sheet metal. -
varmint Posts: 6,326Oh, I know what a halo car is. It's an expensive way to advertise corporate values and serve as showroom candy. It's a loss-leader used to promote abstract feel good qualities. I just don't think Ford needs any expensive advertising. And they certainly need something concrete.
Charger and 300C... sure. With large differences to separate them (price, sheetmetal, engine options, etc.) that would work.
Charger, 300C, Magnum, and Challenger... that's pushing your luck. All of them more or less in the same tax bracket, with only sheetmetal to separate them? Too close to badge engineering, imo.
I think their resources would be better spent putting some effort into a smaller mid-size car. -
jchan2 Posts: 4,956Ford: Refocus on building dependable American cars. You're close to getting it, now just cut back fleet sales. And please give Mercury some unique product. Either give it the unique product or close it. I sometimes can't stand the local Lincoln-Mercury dealer commercials advertising "$14995 FREESTARS WITH ALL THIS STUFF!!" (albeit the guy who advertises, the owner, Larry Stovesand, is quite hilarious) because they can't move enough brand new and certified Lincolns and Mercurys. I'm sure other dealers do this, but ol' Larry here shouldn't have to get on TV himself to sell the local public on used rental Freestars.
DaimlerChrysler: Some Crossovers please? Besides the Pacifica.. And perhaps a competitive midsize sedan...
GM: I'll get to you later. -
rockylee Wyoming, MichiganPosts: 13,989lemko, you know better than that. :P Acura and Buick being a comparison. Not to be a smart [non-permissible content removed] let's look at the line-up. :confuse:
Acura RL, Acura TL, Acura RSX, Acura TSX, Acura RDX, Acura NSX.
Buick Lucerne, Buick LaCrosse, Buick Rainer, Buick Rendezvous, Buick Terazza, and finally the Buick Enclave.
I'd probably have to say the closest of the GM competitors to Acura would be a hybrid of Pontiac, Cadillac.
For the money, even this diehard GM fan/loyalist has to admit that the Acura brand perhaps is the best car money can buy in the world.

No offsense to your car knowledge intended. Fair enough re the GT, but I can't imagine in the grand scheme of things the T-bird was that expensive...it was mostly Lincoln LS parts and standard engines.
And it's not like Ford is in a totally dire situation where they can't have a few cars like these...it's passenger car line is for the most part the best it's been in years...just needs a little massaging to make it very desirable (better engine on the Five Hundred, manual available for the Fusion V6, bring Euro-Focus here). -
varmint Posts: 6,326True enough. The T-Bird probably wasn't terribly expensive. But it was still a niche car. And I was tempted to include the Excursion as another in the same boat.
IMO, a better way to spend their money would be on an everyman kind of car with broader market appeal. In fact, they've already done it with great success. The new Mustang is exactly the kind of car they should have been using to advance Ford's performance agenda. -
john_324 Posts: 974I think Ford's getting there.
The Five Hundred by all reports is a good car, just with weak engines. I think an optional 4.6 V8 (which would require purchase of the AWD package) would make for a really cool big car.
If the Fusion offered a manual transmission with its V6 engine + sport tuning, it could easily develop the image of a sorta "bargain basement BMW".
In Europe and the UK, Ford has always enjoyed a reputation for making reasonably-priced, solid (if quirky around the edges) "working-class heroes." Could easily follow that here in the U.S. with some minor tweaking to the line-up I think. Would be a great image...let Chrysler constantly restyle to be the look-at-me car company, let GM keeping blasting us with ads about how it's the number one car company...

ESPN Music: Chike Ozah
Coodie breaks down his music videos
January, 9, 2013
By Jared Zwerling | ESPN.com
Michael Loccisano/Getty ImagesCoodie Simmons (right) and partner Chike Ozah directed the ESPN 30 for 30 film ' Benji.'
Award-winning film directors Coodie Simmons and Chike Ozah never wanted to work on what Coodie calls the "regular video with the pool, the girls and the cars."
They had a different drive early on in their video-directing career, but one which presented them with a major challenge trying to get their feet wet.
"What we did was write something super-creative that we thought would be progressive and on the next level, but we never got those videos," Coodie said. "So we struck out a lot. If we were in it for the money, we could've done what seemed like really fun videos. But we just wanted to make a statement and tell a story that was progressive in the hip-hop realm."
Fortunately for the pair -- who directed ESPN's acclaimed 30-for-30 documentary "Benji," about fallen high school basketball star Ben Wilson -- Coodie knew Kanye West, who shared the same storytelling vision. They had met years earlier in a popular barbershop in their hometown of Chicago, when West was still a no-name.
In 2003, the stars aligned for West and Coodie & Chike, as they go by in their credits, when they all worked together on the rapper's first hit, "Through The Wire."
These days, Coodie, 41, and Chike, 34, are both living in New York City and they're spending a majority of their time working on their own online TV network, Creative Control, making videos for up-and-coming rapper Joey Badas$$ and helping to rebrand Ecko Unltd. Reflecting on their past success, Coodie spoke to ESPN Playbook on his top five picks from his videography.

The two fur-kids in my home went to town on these the moment I handed them over. They are long lasting and very durable (one of my dogs can bite through a cow femur bone in no time at all but it took him awhile with this bone- I was surprised but happy). This is definitely worth the money if you have a "bone dog".
I volunteer at an animal shelter and I bought bones for each of the dogs there. They loved them! Great bones for a fair price.
I love this bone for my dog but she just had a mouth surgery so she has not been able to eat it yet. I have bought them many times for her.

Public negotiations are never easy. What somebody says to the media (or to "sources") isn't always a fair representation of what really happens at the negotiating table. Players swear up and down that family considerations hold equal weight when planning their future but, as we're told over and over, it's all about the money.
Justin Masterson is set to become a free agent at the end of the season. Earlier this winter, it appeared inevitable that the big righty would work out a deal with Cleveland. Masterson joined the Indians in 2009 and has four up-and-down seasons under his belt. Masterson's public comments suggested he wanted to stay in Cleveland and was willing to take a shorter deal to facilitate it.
But as of yesterday, negotiations between the two camps broke off and it appears Masterson will become an increasingly rare bird – the year-by-year player who shops himself to the highest bidder as a true free agent.
For pitchers, the prices are what the prices are. When Masterson modestly suggests a shorter term deal worth around $17 million per year, it seems fine. Fair, even. The going rate is the going rate – this is less than what Homer Bailey got from the Reds, as Ken Rosenthal points out. But the Tribe do not carry a large payroll, and giving $17MM to one pitcher represents a significant portion of their overall payroll.
Does Justin Masterson deserve to enter that particular strata of pitchers? In two of the last three years, Masterson pitched like a number two starter, posting close to 4 Wins Above Replacement in 2011 and 2013. But in 2012 (and 2010 as well), Masterson struggled. The long ball plagued him slightly and his ERA climbed north of 4.00, even if his supporting numbers suggested he wasn't so bad.
2013 saw his strikeout rate soar to nearly 25%, well above his career mark around 18% to that point. Much of his success in 2013 comes from improving his results against left-handed batters. As a predominantly two-pitch pitcher, getting lefties out is always the toughest task for Masterson. Last season, he threw his slider much more regularly against lefties than in previous seasons. Using that pitch as a weapon against lefties just sets up his big fastball/sinker, still his best pitch.
There is a risk of overanalyzing Justin Masterson, as he is more of a feel pitcher than most guys in the big leagues today. He is a pitcher who doesn't exactly tinker on the mound but one that works with his catcher to try and find his best release point in real time. It is more art than science as he feels his way into his sinker/slider on a given day.
Working with his catcher, Masterson likes "reading" batters to see what pitches they're keying on and make adjustments. Beyond adjusting to what hitters do, any starter with so much movement in all (both) his pitches relies on what works on a given day.
What does this mean for his future? Perhaps Cleveland isn't quite comfortable going longer term coming off a career-best season. Or maybe Cleveland is just happy to let the big righty finish this year and then ride into the sunset, leaving only a compensatory draft pick in his wake. Chris Antonetti and his merry band of quants would much rather find the next bargain than pay big bucks for a starter entering his 30s.
When Masterson takes the ball for the Tribe on Opening Day for the third straight year, it could well be his last. Should Cleveland falter this season, the free-agent-to-be is sure to hear his name in countless trade rumors. Even if Cleveland isn't willing to commit to Masterson long term (owing to a lack of funds or a lack of faith), some team will happily give the big, durable ground ball machine more than the three years he sought from his current club.
When it comes to writing $60 million checks, nothing is ever easy. No matter how open to a shorter, cheaper deal Justin Masterson and his agency appear, there is always more than meets the eye. Unless Cleveland has draft pick compensation in its mind and moving on from their current ace has been the plan all along. When one party will only deal in an extreme value situation, there isn't really a negotiation at all, is there?

Even the most casual of fans have found it hard to escape the glare of Bradley Wiggin's Tour De France triumph, Mo and Jessica winning gold on Super Saturday, or Spain claiming yet another major championship success at Euro 2012.
SPOTY was a great celebration of the British summer of sport but not to be outdone, sports teams and individuals from this part of the World have also enjoyed a sterling year. The past twelve months have brought great success for a number of Northern Ireland's sports personalities. I thought it only right that given the incredible achievements of our home grown talents it would be difficult to write about anything else.
There have been some amazing displays this year from Northern Ireland's golfing prodigy Rory McIlroy. Rory would be the first person to say that the first few months of the year didn't go according to plan but since the summer he has been outstanding. It really has been a fairytale six months for the Holywood man winning his second major, being part of a victorious Ryder Cup team and topping it all with being crowned World Number One and head of the money list on both sides of the Atlantic. Any other year and Rory would be the outstanding Northern Ireland talent in the sporting arena but 2012 wasn't just another year.
It could be argued that Paralympic stars Michael McKillop, Jason Smyth and Bethany Firth were the outstanding athletes of the year. Derry man Jason Smyth in particular turned in the performances of the year in claiming two gold medals and two world records at London 2012. Two other Northern Irish Olympians who surpassed expectations at this year's Games were boxers Paddy Barnes and Michael Conlon. The Belfast boxers may not have walked away with Gold but to achieve a Bronze medal at an Olympic games is an amazing achievement.
Northern Ireland also put itself on the world stage when it came to rowing as the Chambers brothers and Alan Campbell again won medals for NI as part of Team GB. If this year is anything to go by then perhaps in four years time instead of having our athletes compete for Team GB or Team Ireland we should send a team NI to Rio to clean up on the medals front.
It hasn't all been about the individuals this year as there have been some outstanding team displays. Both the Belfast Giants and Ulster Rugby could make the argument for being considered team of the year. The Giants claimed the Elite League title back in March and are sure to be in the mix again come the end of the season under head coach Doug Christiansen.
Ulster turned a few heads in their run to the Heineken Cup only to finish runners up to the history making Leinster. Mark Anscombe has managed to continue the good work of Brian McLaughlin having overseen a fantastic start to the season which saw the Ravenhill men go on a thirteen game winning streak.
There is another team who made it to a European final but were able to go one step better than Ulster as the Pegasus women's hockey team won their fourth European Championship.
One man who deserves a bit of praise for the job he's done this year is a man who splits opinion like Moses parted the Red Sea. People either love him or hate him but nobody can ignore him. I am of course talking about Neil Lennon. No matter what you think of him you have to appreciate the incredible job he has done in his short time at Celtic. For such a young manager to take an unfashionable team and beat the mighty Barcelona is a huge feather in the Lurgan man's cap. Not only that but he has managed to do what even Martin O'Neill couldn't do and take the Bhoys to the last sixteen of the Champions League.
All in all 2012 has been a great year for Northern Ireland with plenty of great stories. There is however, one sporting story which was written right at the end of the year that many people may not have heard. Norman Parke from Bushmills stormed his way through TUF: The Smashes to become Northern Ireland's first Ultimate Fighter. I wrote a blog several weeks ago praising Norman's performance in his first round fight and suggested that he could make it all the way and thankfully he didn't let me down. Norman can now enjoy his Christmas with a big fat six figure UFC contract and hopefully in 2013 can become MMA's Rory McIlroy as he looks to put Northern Ireland on the map in the world's fastest growing sport.
There isn't much left to say about Northern Ireland's sporting year. It is up for debate whether this was the greatest year for sport in our wee country but there can be no debate about the great sense of pride we have all felt thanks to our athlete's efforts. A big thank you to everyone mentioned for an amazing 2012 and congratulations to those people behind the scenes who helped them along the way but who all too often are forgotten.
Here's to a happy and successful year ahead in 2013.

Bullard---The Daily Progress is reporting; Bullard's city council is seeking a $1.5 million bond to pay for expansion of the city's sewar plant.

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 One afternoon at three o'clock, the hour of minchah prayers, as Kefa and Yochanan were going up to the Temple, | 1 One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer--at three in the afternoon. |
2 a man crippled since birth was being carried in. Every day people used to put him at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, so that he could beg from those going into the Temple court. | 2 Now a man crippled from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. |
3 When he saw Kefa and Yochanan about to enter, he asked them for some money. | 3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. |
4 But they stared straight at him; and Kefa said, "Look at us!" | 4 Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, "Look at us!" |
5 The crippled man fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. | 5 So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them. |
6 Kefa said, "I don't have silver, and I don't have gold, but what I do have I give to you: in the name of the Messiah, Yeshua of Natzeret, walk!" | 6 Then Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk." |
7 And taking hold of him by his right hand, Kefa pulled him up. Instantly his feet and ankles became strong; | 7 Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong. |
8 so that he sprang up, stood a moment, and began walking. Then he entered the Temple court with them, walking and leaping and praising God! | 8 He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God. |
9 Everyone saw him walking and praising God. | 9 When all the people saw him walking and praising God, |
10 They recognized him as the same man who had formerly sat begging at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, and they were utterly amazed and confounded at what had happened to him. | 10 they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. |
11 While he clung to Kefa and Yochanan, all the people came running in astonishment toward them in Shlomo's Colonnade. | 11 While the beggar held on to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and came running to them in the place called Solomon's Colonnade. |
12 Seeing this, Kefa addressed the people: "Men of Isra'el! Why are you amazed at this? Or why do you stare at us as if we had made this man walk through some power or godliness of our own? | 12 When Peter saw this, he said to them: "Men of Israel, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? |
13 The God of Avraham, Yitz'chak and Ya'akov, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Yeshua - the same Yeshua you handed over and disowned before Pilate, even after he had decided to release him. | 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go. |
14 You denied the holy and innocent one, and instead asked for the reprieve of a murderer! | 14 You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. |
15 You killed the author of life! "But God has raised him from the dead! Of this we are witnesses. | 15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. |
16 And it is through putting trust in his name that his name has given strength to this man whom you see and know. Yes, it is the trust that comes through Yeshua which has given him this perfect healing in the presence of you all. | 16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see. |
17 "Now, brothers, I know that you did not understand the significance of what you were doing; neither did your leaders. | 17 "Now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders. |
18 But this is how God fulfilled what he had announced in advance, when he spoke through all the prophets, namely, that his Messiah was to die. | 18 But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Christ would suffer. |
19 "Therefore, repent and turn to God, so that your sins may be erased; | 19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, |
20 so that times of refreshing may come from the Lord's presence; and he may send the Messiah appointed in advance for you, that is, Yeshua. | 20 and that he may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you--even Jesus. |
21 He has to remain in heaven until the time comes for restoring everything, as God said long ago, when he spoke through the holy prophets. | 21 He must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets. |
22 For Moshe himself said, 'ADONAI will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You are to listen to everything he tells you. | 22 For Moses said, 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you. |
23 Everyone who fails to listen to that prophet will be removed from the people and destroyed.' | 23 Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from among his people.' |
24 Indeed, all the prophets announced these days, starting with Sh'mu'el and continuing through all who followed. | 24 "Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have foretold these days. |
25 "You are the sons of the prophets; and you are included in the covenant which God made with our fathers when he said to Avraham, 'By your seed will all the families of the earth be blessed.' | 25 And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, 'Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.' |
26 So it is to you first that God has sent his servant whom he has raised up, so that he might bless you by turning each one of you from your evil ways." | 26 When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways." |
