Expression of PHB2 in Rat Brain Cortex Following Traumatic Brain Injury
Received: 13 November 2013 / Revised: 31 January 2014 / Accepted: 13 February 2014 / Published: 21 February 2014
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Neuroprotective Strategies 2014)
Abstract: Prohibitin2 (PHB2) is a ubiquitous, evolutionarily strongly conserved protein. It is one of the components of the prohibitin complex, which comprises two highly homologous subunits, PHB1 and PHB2. PHB2 is present in various cellular compartments including the nucleus and mitochondria. Recent studies have identified PHB2 as a multifunctional protein that controls cell proliferation, apoptosis, cristae morphogenesis and the functional integrity of mitochondria. However its distribution and function in the central nervous system (CNS) are not well understood. In this study, we examined PHB2 expression and cellular localization in rats after acute traumatic brain injury (TBI). Western Blot analysis showed PHB2 level was significantly enhanced at five days after injury compared to control, and then declined during the following days. The protein expression of PHB2 was further analyzed by immunohistochemistry. In comparison to contralateral cerebral cortex, we observed a highly significant accumulation of PHB2 at the ipsilateral brain. Immunofluorescence double-labeling showed that PHB2 was co-expressed with NeuN, GFAP. Besides, PHB2 also colocalized with activated caspase-3 and PCNA. To further investigate the function of PHB2, primary cultured astrocytes and the neuronal cell line PC12 were employed to establish a proliferation model and an apoptosis model, respectively, to simulate the cell activity after TBI to a certain degree. Knocking down PHB2 by siRNA partly increased the apoptosis level of PC12 stimulated by H2O2. While the PHB2 was interrupted by siRNA, the proliferation level of primary cultured astrocytes was inhibited notably than that in the control group. Together with our data, we hypothesized that PHB2 might play an important role in CNS pathophysiology after TBI.

PoliticsMain Palestinian negotiators Key Palestinian politicians featuring in The Palestine Papers. 23 Jan 2011 20:47 GMT | Politics, Investigative, US & Canada, Israel, Palestine Saeb Erekat Role: Chief negotiator, Palestinian Authority Erekat has served as a Palestinian negotiator since the early 1990s, and has been the chief negotiator of the Palestinian Authority (PA) for the last two years. He first attained prominence in the early 1990s, when he represented the PA at the Madrid Conference and negotiated the Oslo Accords. He has taken part in every major negotiation since, including the Camp David summit in 2000 and the Taba summit the following year. Erekat occurs in these documents more frequently than anyone else: He represents the Palestinian Authority at 116 meetings with Israeli, American and European officials, and is involved with dozens of e-mails, internal memos and reports. Erekat lives in the West Bank city of Jericho. He was educated in the United States and the United Kingdom. Ahmed Qurei Role: Former prime minister; former Palestinian Authority chief negotiator Qurei served as the Palestinian prime minister from 2003 until early 2006, when his Fatah party was defeated by Hamas in parliamentary elections. During his tenure in office, he clashed with then-president Yasser Arafat over control of the Palestinian security forces. The majority of these documents cover the period after Qurei left office, when he assumed the role of the Palestinian Authority's chief negotiator. He is one of the PA's chief interlocutors with the Israelis, appearing often alongside Saeb Erekat in meetings during the Annapolis process in late 2007 and 2008. By the end of 2008, his role is greatly diminished; his last appearance comes in a September 2008 meeting with Israeli general Udi Dekel. The Palestine Papers suggest that his reduced status was the result of political infighting within the PA. Qurei was born in the Jerusalem suburb of Abu Dis, and has been a member of the Fatah party since the 1960s. He spent time living in exile with Arafat in Beirut and Tunis. Qurei was heavily involved with the Madrid Conference and the negotiations that led up to the Oslo Accords. Maen Areikat Role: Chief Representative of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) mission to the United States Areikat was born October 1960, in the West Bank town of Jericho to an influential Palestinian family. At the age of 18, Areikat left his birthplace for the US, where he received a BS in Finance from Arizona State University (ASU) in 1983, and later on an MBA in management from Western International University in 1987. After his return to Palestine in 1992 Areikat began working with Dr Hanan Ashrawi, the official spokeswoman of the Palestinian Delegation to the Peace Talks with Israel. He also joined the Orient House, the headquarters of the Palestinian Team to the Peace Talks, and, from 1993-1998, took part in Palestinian-Israeli negotiations on permanent status issues. Areikat became the Director-General of the Negotiations Affairs Department of the PLO in Ramallah in 1998. In this position, he supervised the Negotiations Support Unit, which provides legal, policy, communication and technical support to the Palestinian Negotiating Teams. In May 2009, Areikat joined the PLO Mission to the US. Palestine does not maintain an embassy in the US; however, the PLO does operate a mission in Washington DC where Areikat serves as chef de mission. Areikat's name first appears in the Palestine Papers on April 10, 2001, when he receives a memorandum from the Washington lobbying firm Bannerman & Associates with a list of deadly incidents in Israel conducted by Palestinians. Mohammed DahlanRole: Former leader of Fatah in the Gaza Strip and, since August 2009, an elected member of the Fatah Central Committee. His reputation as a Palestinian strongman - with corruption allegations and links to foreign intelligence services - make him one of the most controversial Palestinian politicians of his time. He became (in)famous for his leading role in a failed CIA-funded coup attempt against the Hamas-led government in Gaza in 2007. Born to a refugee family in Gaza in 1961, Dahlan grew up under Egyptian, and later Israeli, control. He entered politics as a teenager and in 1981 helped to establish the Gaza branch of the Fatah Youth Movement. He was jailed 10 times by Israel for his leading role in the movement and learned to speak Hebrew fluently during his time in prison. After the signing the Oslo Accords in 1993, Dahlan was chosen to head the Preventive Security Service in Gaza where he built up a force of 20,000 men. His forces made him a powerful figure, dealing regularly with the CIA and Israeli intelligence officials. His soldiers were accused of torturing Hamas prisoners throughout the 1990s, allegations Dahlan denies. During this period Gaza was nicknamed "Dahlanistan" due to his far-reaching power. At the end of Yasser Arafat's reign, Dahlan was seen as his potential successor, but infighting and corruption allegations marred his candidacy. In March 2007, Dahlan was appointed by Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, to lead the newly re-established Palestinian National Security Council, overseeing all security forces in the Palestinian territories. A month after the Hamas takeover in the Gaza Strip, he resigned from his post. Many in Fatah blame Dahlan for the rapid collapse of their forces in Gaza in the face of a Hamas offensive that lasted less than a week. Dahlan is seen by the Israelis as someone they could do business with, something that is reaffirmed in the Palestine Papers.Source: Al Jazeera

Young men of color have long experienced lower earnings and higher unemployment compared to young white men. Many factors have contributed to these negative outcomes: persistent discrimination, hiring practices of employers, geographic and social isolation, substandard secondary education, lack of career and postsecondary educational guidance, inadequate career and technical education, and higher incarceration rates. This paper focuses on promising strategies for improving the labor market outcomes of low-income young men of color. It outlines an employment-focused approach to improving economic opportunities and outcomes for these young men, highlighting potential policy, system and institutional reforms as well as program investments.
To improve the employment rates and earnings of Americans workers, we need to create more-coherent and more-effective education and workforce development systems, focusing primarily (though not exclusively) on disadvantaged youth and adults, and with education and training more clearly targeted towards firms and sectors that provide good-paying jobs. This paper proposes a new set of competitive grants from the federal government to states that would fund training partnerships between employers in key industries, education providers, workforce agencies, and intermediaries at the state level, plus a range of other supports and services. The grants would especially reward the expansion of programs that appear successful when evaluated with randomized controlled trial (RCT) techniques. The evidence suggests that these grants could generate benefits that are several times larger than their costs, including higher earnings and lower unemployment rates among the disadvantaged.
Child poverty generates serious long-term economic costs not only for those children (when they become adults), but for the U.S. economy as a whole. This paper argues that these long-term costs will rise because of the Great Recession, as child poverty rises substantially and remains elevated for years to come. Children growing in newly poor families, and/or those whose parents suffer permanent job loss, will likely have worse educational and employment outcomes. Those young people who enter the labor market during this period will suffer reduced earnings as well. This will impose fiscal as well as economic costs on the U.S. in the future. Investments to reduce child poverty in both the short and long-terms thus make economic sense for the U.S., despite the nation's ongoing fiscal crisis.
Even though children in the United States have higher poverty rates than adults and the elderly, federal spending on kids is disproportionately small and has been shrinking for years. The recession threatened to eat away further at those investments, prompting the president and Congress to temporarily boost funding for some two dozen federal programs that benefit children. To support the development of children in low-income families, we recommend making some of those provisions permanent. We also propose new investments in the preschool and postsecondary years when public spending is at its lowest, while also experimenting with new initiatives to support low-income children.
High rates of child poverty exist in the United States even in the best of times, and this poverty tends to limit the health, education, and earnings of adults who grew up poor throughout their lives. This creates costs not only for the individuals themselves and their families, but for the U.S. economy as a whole. The current recession will raise child poverty rates substantially and for many years to come, thus exacerbating these problems. Even short spells of poverty or parental unemployment can scar children and youth for many years. Policies that tend to limit child poverty in the next few years by strengthening the safety net, raising employment, or improving the skills of disadvantaged children and youth might thus have a high social payoff over time.
Low high school graduation rates and sharply declining employment rates continue to plague disadvantaged youth, especially young men. We review the evidence base on programs and policies such as youth development for adolescents and young teens; programs seeking to improve educational attainment and employment for in-school youth; and programs that try to "reconnect" those who are out of school and frequently out of work, including public employment programs. We identify a number of programmatic strategies that are promising or even proven, based on rigorous evaluations, for disadvantaged youth with different circumstances.
The case for expanding the EITC for workers without qualifying children is compelling, as the current EITC provides little help to this group. We argue that the EITC for these workers should: - provide these workers with a strong incentive to increase work effort; - provide a significant subsidy to low-earning workers working near a full-time work level; - begin phasing out only after an individual is working at a level at least equivalent to full-time minimum wage work; - apply to both prime-age and younger workers; and - be effectively coordinated with the Making Work Pay Credit.
Between 2007 and 2008, real incomes fell and poverty rose in the United States, Institute Fellow Harry Holzer testified before the Joint Economic Committee of Congress. Even if the recession ends this year, rising unemployment will mean that real income keeps falling while poverty increases for a few more years — and almost certainly by much more than occurred between 2007 and 2008. It will likely take several years beyond 2010 before real income and poverty fully recover from the effects of the downturn.
In this Washington Post commentary, Institute Fellow Harry Holzer suggests ways to help those most adversely affected by the economic downturn—low-income single mothers, disadvantaged adults, youths, and their families.
In this paper I note the basic paradox of workforce development policy: that, in an era in which skills are more important than ever as determinants of labor market earnings, we spend fewer and fewer public (federal) dollars on workforce development over time. I present trends in funding and in program evolution over time for programs funded by the Department of Labor and others. I then review the cost-effectiveness of programs for adults and youth from the evaluation literature. I consider some other possible reasons for funding declines, and some newer developments in workforce policy, mostly at the state and local levels, before concluding with some policy recommendations.

Press Release:
HavenCon is thrilled to welcome actors Dante Basco and Janet Varney! They will be with us both Saturday April 4th and Sunday April 5, 2015 to speak with fans as well as providing autographs.
Janet Varney is a comedian, actor, writer and producer. In the animation world, she is lucky enough to be the voice of Korra on Nickelodeon's hit series The Legend of Korra. She also spent seven wonderful years hosting TBS's "Dinner and a Movie," recurred on HBO's Entourage, was a series regular on the beloved E! and Yahoo series Burning Love seasons 1 and 3, and has made guest appearances in hit shows including How I Met Your Mother, Key and Peele, Psych, Bones, on the panel of Chelsea Lately, as a regular co-host on HuffPost Live, and has appeared in films such as Still Waiting, Drillbit Taylor, and Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer. Janet is the host of the popular Nerdist podcast The JV Club and the co-founder, creative director and producer of SF Sketchfest, the San Francisco Comedy Festival, now in its 14th year.
With a career spanning over two and a half decades, DANTE BASCO is a Hollywood actor who has become a cult classic and pioneering figure in Asian-American cinema. He was first introduced in Steven Spielberg's fairytale movie Hook, as "Rufio," the leader of the Lost Boys. He quickly jumped to leading roles like Newline's Take the Lead, opposite Antonio Banderas, and The Debut, which became the voice of a Filipino American generation. 20th Century Fox executives were so mesmerized by the uniqueness of Dante's look and ability that they gave him a development deal for his own series and he starred in a pilot for Touchstone/ABC, The Chang Family Saves the World, written and produced by John Ridley and directed by Paris Barclay. Ever versatile, he's "Jake Long" in Disney's animated series American Dragon: Jake Long as well as "Prince Zuko" in Nickelodeon's phenomenal hit, Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Born and raised in the City by the Bay, Dante started out breakdancing with his three brothers at the age of 8, calling themselves "The Street Freaks". Quickly they became one of the top groups in San Francisco, opening for acts like Ice-T and Vanity and performing during halftime shows for the 49ers and the Oakland A's.
Dante and his family moved to Los Angeles in the mid-80s where he started to work immediately. By the age of 16, Dante was fencing against Dustin Hoffman and flying with Robin Williams in Hook. He's found success on the small screen as well on from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and recurring on Hangin' with Mr. Cooper and Moesha in the 90s to prominent spots on Nash Bridges, Touched by an Angel, and Providence in the early 2000s and hit shows today like CSI: Miami, Entourage and Hawaii Five-O.
A young man of many talents, Dante is the founder of on e of the largest weekly poetry venue in the country, "Da Poetry Lounge" in Los Angeles and he has also shared his spoken word poetry on Russell Simmons' HBO Def Poetry Jam. He has also begun writing and producing his own features with his production company Kinetic Films, including Hang Loose, a (hilarious buddy comedy) with YouTube sensation KevJumba, winning the 2012 Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival Special Jury Prizes for "Best Actor" and "Best Newcomer" respectively.
From breakdancing in the streets of San Francisco to starring in movies on the silver screen, Dante Basco has become one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood and truly an Asian American icon.

When I reviewed Oppo's BDP-93 — the company's first universal player to support Blu-ray 3D and high-rez FLAC audio playback — I wrapped things up by saying it could be the last disc player you'll ever need. Turns out I spoke too soon, because Oppo keeps finding new ways to make the whole disc-player concept relevant. Its most recent offerings include the BDP-103 ($499) and the BDP-105 under review here, a $1,199 version that has been hot-rodded for two-channel-audio enthusiasts.
Blu-ray 3D Is Here
To 3D or not to 3D, that is the question. Sorry to go Shakespeare on you, but I'm skeptical as to whether 3D is the next big thing on the horizon. Samsung is one of the major players vying for your 3D dollar, and I have to give the company credit for leading the charge on the next advancement in home entertainment. You may recall that Samsung was the first company to release a Blu-ray player (BD-P1000). While that launch wasn't as smooth as the company would have liked due to a faulty noise-reduction setting, Samsung eventually fixed it, and the format has now become mainstream. Is history going to repeat itself for Blu-ray 3D? And if not, is the BD-C6900 worth your 2D investment?
Samsung's BD-D5500 proves that you don't need to spend a lot on a 3D Blu-ray player to get great results. Its video and audio performance are top-notch, and it provides 3D capability and access to lots of online and locally networked media content. However, it's lack of DTS-HD decoding is a significant drawback, which you can overcome by spending $40 more for the BD-D6500, $20 more for the Sony BDP-S480, or $10 less for the Panasonic DMP-BDT110.
Stream City
Blu-ray players just aren't what they used to be—they're a lot more. Sony's PlayStation 3 has long offered more than just standard Blu-ray playback. Today's breed of players bring not only state-of-the-art Blu-ray performance but also connectivity to your home media network and a range of streaming options from the most popular movie and music providers on the Internet. These players can become the hub of your home entertainment system and eliminate the need for separate devices to get the most out of today's technology.
Every year a new generation of Blu-ray players hits the market from the major electronics manufacturers. While 3D was the last big advancement to hit the streets, the latest rage is 4K upconversion in the flagship players, but you won't find that on the budget-friendly Samsung BD-F5900. What you will get for $150 is a 3D-capable player with a plethora of streaming options, a built-in Web browser, and Wi-Fi capability. With all these goodies, is there a reason to pay more for a Blu-ray player? Read on and see…
AT A GLANCE Plus Outstanding audio and video performance Loaded with streaming options Unique screen mirroring with Samsung smartphones and tablets Minus Suspect build quality Controls are on top of the player, limiting placement options
THE VERDICT A good budget player that makes up in performance and features what it lacks in build quality.
Last week I was playing poker with a bunch of guys and our topic of conversation turned to home theater. I was asked what I was currently reviewing, and when I mentioned the Samsung BD-H6500 Blu-ray player, one of my friends was shocked. "They're still selling Blu-ray players! Why?" Needless to say, I was shocked, too. When I asked the table of nine other guys, only two said they had watched a Blu-ray movie in the past three months; the rest were getting their movies from PPV (pay per view) or streaming them from Netflix, Vudu, or Amazon VOD.
The Start of Something Big
Samsung's HT-C6930W 7.1-channel Blu-ray 3D Home Theater System, to quote the full official name, includes a speedy Blu-ray 3D drive, seven speakers, subwoofer, wireless connection for one pair of surrounds, and an auto setup system that replaces the customary bleeps and sweeps with musical test tones. It builds on Ethernet and Wi-Fi network connectivity with DLNA certification and a variety of apps.
Whenever I want to watch a movie, I plunge a fiberoptic cable into the back of my neck. Apart from a persistent dribble of blood from my neck jack, the results are enviable. In my mind, I experience a full 360-degree 3D image—there's not even a frame—accompanied by surround sound with height and depth channels that extend from heaven to hell. Music is just as easy. I just access the 100-zettabyte solid-state drive built into my brain. My doctors tell me that with one more firmware update, I can have lossless audio with a bit depth of 831 and a sampling rate of 90,245 kilohertz. Almost as good as vinyl.
Sony single-handedly won the format war with its timely release of the PlayStation 3. Up until the PS3 hit the market in November 2006, HD DVD was beginning to gain the upper hand with disc and player sales. But the vaunted game station changed the marketplace virtually overnight and signaled the beginning of the end for the red-laser format. Fast-forward almost six years, and the PS3 is still the most-owned Blu-ray player on the market, although the standalone units have closed the performance gap and in some cases, surpassed the powerful game system.
AT A GLANCE Plus Good video performance Unique ergonomics Vertical or horizontal placement Minus No front-panel display Sluggish YouTube access
THE VERDICT Its video performance, 4K upconversion, and atypical form factor may well attract buyers, while its slight edge enhancement and mixed performance on some Internet sites may not. But it's clear that this Toshiba is not your father's disc player.
It's getting harder these days for a manufacturer to build and sell a high-end Blu-ray player simply as a Blu-ray player. The market is saturated, and the latecomers, who finally realize that DVD is not high definition and a Blu-ray Disc offers the best quality video currently available to the consumer, seem content to pop for the $49.99 Blu-ray special on aisle 5.

Athletics at the 2012 Summer Games: Previous Summer Games
Host City: London, Great Britain
Venue(s): Olympic Stadium, Olympic Park, Stratford, London
Date Started: August 3, 2012
Date Finished: August 4, 2012
Gold: | Sandra Perković |
Silver: | Darya Pishchalnikova |
Bronze: | Li Yanfeng |
The favorite was Croatian Sandra Perković, who had been the most consistent thrower throughout the year and had already won the 2012 European title. She had also won the 2010 Europeans but had been popped for PEDs (a stimulant) and served a six-month doping suspension in 2011. The 2011 World Champion was China's Li Yanfeng, who was expected to contend, along with German Nadine Müller, silver medalist at Daegu in 2011, and Russian Darya Pishchalnikova, the 2006 European Champion, also returning from a two-year drug suspension when she and six other Russian athletes were found to have manipulated their drug testing samples in 2010. Perković had won 9 of 10 meets in 2012, but Pishchalnikova came into form late, with marks of 70.69, the world's longest throw in 20 years, and 69.34 in her last two meets. Defending champion Stephanie Brown-Trafton of the United States was back in the final, but was a medal longshot.
Müller led the first round of the final with a toss of 65.71, Pishchalnikova in second and Perković in third. In the second round Li took the lead with 67.22, but four throws later, Perković got the platter out to 68.11, a mark that would be good enough for gold. But she would improve it, tossing 69.11 in round three, the eventual winning mark. Li was second through four rounds with Pishchalnikova moving up to third place in that round. But in round five she improved to 67.56 which would win her the silver medal, Li taking bronze. Müller improved her opener in round six with 65.94 but it was only good enough for fifth place. Brown-Trafton was never a factor and placed eighth. Perković's gold medal was the first athletics gold medal for Croatia as an independent nation.

Here's another podcast of a radio interview that was done back in Sep 2008. Thanks to Leslie and Richard from the ToyBox radio talkback show on for taking the time to chat with me about this topic and share with their listeners information on anaphylaxis. In this interview we talk about anaphylaxis in schools and what the Queensland government were up to at the time. We also cover what an individual on the street should do if they were to assist someone having an anaphylactic reaction. I'll do a follow up soon in a new video episode of where the Queensland government are at currently with their anaphylaxis school training and their current legislation. Please leave me your thoughts on this interview by leaving a comment on this blog post. Does your country have a "good samaritan law" to protect those that help others needing first aid from any legal issues? Talk soon. |

GEE/CEE Seminar on mitochondria, hybrid breakdown and the origin of species
"Consequences of rapid mtDNA evolution: compensatory coadaptation, hybrid breakdown and speciation"
Speaker: |
Ron Burton, Professor of Marine Biology, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego |
Date & Time: |
Wednesday, 17 April at 5pm |
Venue: | Medical Sciences AV Hill Lecture Theatre (map) |
Host: | Nick Lane (Ext 31385) |
Despite its small size and limited gene content, the rapid evolution of the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) has significant implications for the evolution of animal populations. Aerobic metabolism requires all 13 of the mtDNA-encoded proteins in addition to >70 nuclear proteins. In addition, ~100 additional nuclear proteins are required for the transcription and translation of the mtDNA and must be imported into the mitochondria. Consequently, there are many interactions between mtDNA and nucDNA that favor extensive intergenomic coadaptation. When genetically divergent populations hybridize, coadaptation can be disrupted and lead to mitochondrial dysfunction and reduced fitness (hybrid breakdown). Interpopulation crosses between populations of the copepod Tigriopus californicus provide a good example of this scenario, as hybrid breakdown is due, in large measure, to intergenomic interactions affecting mitochondrial function (manifested in reduced ATP production and increased oxidative damage). Recent work using transcriptomic analyses of both hybrid breakdown and population adaptation to thermal stress in Tigriopus will also be briefly discussed.

(Nick Wass/AP)Umpire Paul Nauert will not be disciplined for giving Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter what appeared to be a playful slap in a benches-clearing altercation during Detroit's 4-1 win in Baltimore on Monday, according to an ESPN report on Thursday.Joe Torre, who is the league's vice president of on-field operations, spoke with Nauert on Wednesday, explaining how the incident could be misinterpreted by the public, a league source told Tony Paul of The Detroit News."Joe Torre had a good conversation with Paul today," an MLB spokesman said. "We consider the matter closed. Paul will not be disciplined."SI WIRE: Mets release closer Kyle FarnsworthNauert is a veteran umpire, having been in the big leagues for just shy of 14 years, while Hunter has been a full-time major leaguer since 1999. Hunter said he didn't take offense to Nauert trying to calm him down after the Orioles' Bud Norris hit Hunter with a pitch after giving up a two-run homer to Ian Kinsler in the top of the eighth inning.The incident can be seen here, via Deadspin."That's my guy," Hunter said of Nauert on Tuesday. "He was trying to cover my mouth. I've known him too long [to be upset]. He was just saying to me, 'C'mon, T. You're way better than that.' And he's right. I apologize to the fans for my reaction."It's nothing to really investigate," Hunter added. "If MLB came to me [to ask about Nauert], I wouldn't even talk to them.Players and managers can be suspended if they touch an umpire under MLB bylaws, and vice versa.Hunter and Norris are likely not to receive suspensions for the altercation.

Francis dominates Lucas Oil finale at Golden Isles SpeedwayBy Staff Steve Francis celebrates in victory lane after scoring the win in Saturday night's Super Bowl of Racing finale for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series at Golden Isles Speedway. / Photo: Rick Schwallie Photography
WAYNESVILLE - Steve Francis displayed his dominance Saturday night, as he led all 50 laps of the final Lucas Oil Dirt Late Model Series event of the Georgia Boot Super Bowl of Racing at Golden Isles Speedway in Waynesville, GA.
The victory marks his 14th career series win. Francis became the third different winner of the weekend, crossing the finish line ahead of Eddie Carrier Jr., Earl Pearson Jr., Scott Bloomquist, and Brandon Sheppard. I cant say enough about this Barry Wright Race Car, he said in victory lane. It handled so well all night long. The only concern I had was coming off turn four a few times was jumping the cushion and losing my momentum. I had to make sure I got into that corner the best I could. I think all weekend long, the track was in good condition and made for a great show for the fans. We could race anywhere on it. We had a lot of fun out there tonight. It was a great points night, and a really good start to the season. Francis and his Clint Bowyer Racing Team have set their sights on winning the title in 2014. I have to thank Clint for giving me this opportunity. He gives us what we need, the Clements Racing Engine had plenty of horsepower and its great to win for Georgia Boot and everybody associated with them. Carrier chased Francis until the final laps when Francis built a lead that carried him to the checkers. On that last restart, I tried to stay with Steve the best I could, Carrier, Jr. said. We were not going to beat him tonight. It was another good run for us. We will be ready for East Bay next week and hopefully continue our strong efforts. Pearson recorded his third top-3 finish of the races held at Golden Isles, and earned an additional bonus of $2,000 courtesy of Hot Rod Tracker for garnering the most points. Many thanks to Hot Rod Tracker for becoming involved with the series and track, he said. We had a couple really good days here, and we are looking forward to East Bay next week. Pearson will enter next weeks points events at East Bay with a five-point lead over Francis. Completing the top ten were Ray Cook, Brian Shirley, Jared Landers, Don ONeal and Brady Smith. In preliminary action, Chris Madden set the overall Georgia Boot Fast Time (Group B) amongst the ¬34 entrants, with a lap of 15.020 seconds. Earl Pearson Jr. set the fastest time in Group A with a time of 15.191 seconds. Steve Francis, Brandon Sheppard, Eddie Carrier Jr. and Billy Moyer Jr. won their respective heat races. Tim McCreadie and John Blankenship won their respective B-Mains. Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Golden Isles Speedway Waynesville, GA Georgia Boot Super Bowl of Racing Feb. 8, 2014 1.

ProsGreat handling, corners well, love all wheel drive-great in snow and ice, low maintenance and reasonable priced parts, looks like WRX, lots of cargo space, love the blue tooth feature ConsNeeds more power but accelerates ok, passenger front seat sits too low, interior is cheap, moderate road noise
Overall Good Reliable Car For 21k — Love the all wheel drive in winter, low maintenance, will last a long time like most subarus, parts are moderately priced, looks like WRX (hatch), great cargo space. Don't like the passenger front seat because it sits too low, cheap plastic interior, good brakes pads after 45k, add the subwoofer for better stereo sound Primary Use: Commuting to work

2011 Subaru Impreza WRX
ProsGreat handeling and power ConsGas could be a little better
Ilove The Car It Is Probably The Best Handeling Car I Ever Owned — Not the best riding car but then it was never ment to be.It has power almost on demand I wanted to get the STI but when I drove the WRX it was a very close second and if I wanted more power the price diffrence from it and the WRX and the STI I can buy the parts and get the same if not more.I get about 21.5 mpg and that has been a average of 6000 miles most has been driveing in stop and go on the highway I get 25.8 on average.The car has lots of room in the trunk it suprised me it does not look like it but there is alot.I had no problem with it this winter as a matter of fact I was going up a mountain and there was a snow plow stuck and I walked right up around it with ease. This the first import that I have ever owned Subaru I research the car for 6 months before I purchased it, it was really hard to find anything bad or really negative about it you know other then people likening their brand better.

2011 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport
ProsComfortable ride, acceleration, and handling, two tone paint, cargo space, looks are like WRX but no turbo, will add a chip when warranty is up, should increase horsepower to 200 Conscheap interior, passenger seat is uncomfortable needs more adjustments, mpg could be better, but its a 4 speed, newer models get better mpg but less power.
Good Overall Car — all wheel drive makes it feel responsive, good cargo space, will definitely upgrade sound system with kicker subwoof! Blue tooth is decent. traded in luxury car for this one, not dissappointed at all. Standards, value and resale will hold up. Just did 30 k check, brake pads are still 80% good.dont take it to dealer, they wanted $549, took it to my mechanic for $150. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2011 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport

2011 Subaru Impreza WRX Hatchback
Proshandling.....and BOOST Conswheel hub pattern
It Feels Good Paying On Something You Actually Like. Love...it's What Makes A Subaru A Subaru. — awesomeness!! Acceleration is decent compared to an NA motor. Plenty of potential untapped from restrictive exhaust and inefficient intake. Body roll is excessive with stock sways. Solid build quality...as is with all japanese vehicles imo. interior styling is amazing, except for lack of bolster support, hence fatigue on long trips in those bucket seats. cloth seats are better than leathers. Gas mileage is expected with a turbo vehicle. Maintenance is at a minimal (Subarus ARE reliable). The grip takes some getting used to especially navigating sharp turns at high speed where a RWD vehicle would let the back end loose as expected... THRILL TO DRIVE all round!

2011 Subaru Impreza WRX Limited Hatchback
ProsAWD ConsFuel Economy
2011 Subaru Impreza WRX
ProsEVERYTHING!* Consonly thing i can come up with is the fuel economy...... but as long as one is willing to spend the $$$ of gasoline, nothing else is wrong with it! :)
2011 Subaru Impreza WRX Premium
ProsFun. Great handling all-season vehicle. Suspension is stiff enough to be sporty, soft enough to be a comfortable daily driver. ConsHard plastics throughout the interior. Light throttle. A few squeaks and rattles. Chunky gearbox.
Na — All wheel drive turbo charged goodness. Great all weather vehicle, with decent highway mileage, but staying off of boost is definitely hard to resist when you've got open roads ahead of you. Fun and practical. Steering is light but communicative. Long shifter throws, but a short shifter kit easily amends that. Bluetooth, AUX and iPod compatibility are nice amenities. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2011 Subaru Impreza 2.5i Hatchback
ProsStability, reliablility, comfort ConsGas mileage could be better
Love It!! — I love the new Impreza wagon and the folks at Morrie's in Minnetonka (Hani and Nik) were very helpful, friendly, and I appreciated the no-haggle pricing. I got a great deal on the Outback Sport package and a Memorial Day discount. Highly recommended! Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2011 Subaru Impreza WRX Limited Hatchback
Prostorque, handling, power, fun, refinement Consexpensive tires, wind noise, rattles, insurance, police harassment
Subaru Has Family-friendly Station Wagon Rocket Nailed Perfectly. It Doesn't Get Batter Than This. — The smooth ride quality and quiet engine would make this a deceptively fast car, if the acceleration didn't THROW you in the seat once the turbo spooled! It is ridiculously fun and fast, with exceptional traction control complementing phenomenal handling that inspires confidence. Within the first 1000 miles, the car has mild rattles and too much road noise... but it's hard to care about such things in a car that does over 40mph in first gear, 65 in second (approaching 60mph in under 5 seconds!) Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

Proof positive that what T. Swift pulls off only looks easy.
Because in theory, this should work better. Very relatable - if vanilla - premise, and melody with some real hooks. And these vocalists could probably out-sing Swift technically, right?
