I REALLY like this.
My first car love was the 300ZX TT, but I couldn't afford one, so my first car was a '71 240Z (username QWKDTSN is the license plate). I haven't paid much attention to the new Z cars. There are some things that really annoy me about the 350Z, but the 370Z is pretty cool. I will admit I never think about them when I think about sports cars, they sort of fly under the radar.

Which is a shame because it did seem like a pretty sweet track car wen it came out.

Middle of the road car does nothing really good, nothing really bad. Fair weather fans died with the economy, only hardcore sports car guys left and they want used Porsches, not new Nissans.
Currently taking Xanax for range anxiety.
I don't think it's enough of an improvement vs 350Z.
Yes, it's lighter. But it is also smaller, so it should've been more than 100lbs lighter (Base vs Base)
Engine doesn't sound as good as VQ35HR. It makes almost the same amount of torque. They could've stuck with 3.5L, thus adding lightness.
Looks... well, I think it's pretty ugly compared to the 350Z. That was, actually, the major deciding factor for me
The interior is the only thing I congratulate Nissan on with this car. I don't particularly like the design but it is much better put together with superior materials
I've heard a few people say that it was just disappointing given the progression of Z cars up to the latest one. I can't comment on that, as I don't have experience with older Nissans and Datsuns but there has to be some truth in that.
I looked at g37's but Infiniti's fit and finish does not justify the premium for me.
I think they are great cars for the money, they just lack in the NVH department and their brakes are not track worthy.
The arrival of the Genesis coupe, Mustang, and Camaro ate away from their market share dramatically.
The current crop of V8 muscle cars will absolutely decimate the Z in acceleration and are also quite a bit quicker than the Z around the track (according to Lightning Lap times at VIR). When car and driver had their "best drivers car under $40k" issue, the Mustang GT also had lap times that were a fair amount faster than the Z and it was also judged to be a better drivers car. And for the price of a base Z with the sport package, you're right around the price of a Camaro SS with the 1LE package, which would decimate a Z around the track.
The Z is a very nice package that does nicely against other 6-cyl options, but it's about $4k too much. The V8 pony cars are vastly better performance cars than a similarly priced Z.
The problem was oil cooling.

Also have heard about how bad the engine sounds at high rpm, definitely a problem in my book.
i feel like the 370z is one of those cars that won't truly be appreciated until it's replaced. looking at the comments here, i'm guessing one of the main problems is that people conflate it with the 350z because visibly speaking, they are pretty similar. the main issue with this comparison, however, is that the 370z is a better car than the 350z in almost every way imaginable, with a few niggling caveats regarding reliability, of course. the fact of the matter is, the 370z is a really really fun car to drive, with good power, great looks (subjective, i know), and has excellent potential as a track car (if nissan can address the the brake and fuel issues). it's also likely the last of the VQ powered high performance nissans, which is something that in and of itself bodes well for its future desirability among car enthusiasts.
bottom line, give it some time. when the prices for the 370z drop and nissan no longer offers any NA engines in its high performance lineup, this will be a highly sought after car.
You can find a few NISMO 370Z's for under 30K second hand and the standard cars are beginning to creep up on the 20K mark in the second hand market. I'd likely say if you're really interested in one they're pretty affordable atm.

The car is better then the 350z in every measurable way. And while the engine is a tad heavier then the inferior 3.5 in the 350, it weighs about 100lbs less (or more) then the engine in the old 300zx Tt.

I like the looks of the 2013 370 Z (never drove one). So, my questions to those who have driven a '2013 370 Z. I built one on the Nissan web site (sport model) and added nismo exhaust (and added nismo stuff like wing, suspension and exhaust, cause it ain't costing me nothing to do it online, Ha!), does that add up to a better car? I mean, the nismo exhaust should help the engine note some gripe about, you can get better brake pads and it shouldn't over heat now that it has an oil cooler. Heck, as a daily that gets a full G on the pad and is that quick to sixty, it should find some love. Oh, btw, I did load the car I bulit online with crazy stuff, so it came in at $41,000, tis a bit high.
One last thing, I watched the video on the Nissan site about the syncro rev matching manual trans. It seems like a slick piece of engineering. For those that have driven a '13 370 Z manual with this feasture, does it work or is it gimmick? Is it for the lazy and uneducated who can't heel/toe or is it a revelation that enhances the driving experience?
Disclaimer: I'm not looking to buy a 370 Z, I have a daughter, need rear seats, but it is an ineterseting car, I'm a car guy that likes to know obscure car stuff. Any answers to questions above would be appreciated.

"As anyone who has ever tinkered with an old BMW engine or looked out on to the wing of a jet can attest, pure response to engineering requirements can sometimes deliver just as much pleasure as a more intentionally aesthetic design process."
I love the way they look, and for what I understand they responded very well to basic bolt ons

350z was aesthetically more "neutral". 370z is more likely to offend with catfish grill and stupid looking headlight/tail lights.

OXFORD, Ohio – The Miami University volleyball team used a balanced effort to get back on the winning track with a 3-0 (26-24, 25-13, 25-22) victory over Akron Friday evening. The RedHawks improve to 9-8 overall and 1-4 in the Mid-American Conference. The Zips fall to 6-10 overall and 0-5 in the MAC.
Miami had a total of 12 blocks in the three set match, while Akron finished with only four. Freshman middle hitter Paige Hill led the way with six blocks (one solo and five assisted), and also tied with junior outside hitter/setter Meg Riley for the team lead with eight kills.
Tied at five in the first set, Akron went on a 7-3 run to take a 12-8 lead. A kill and a service ace by Hill, along with a block by freshman outside hitter Maris Below and sophomore middle hitter Jenny Ingle was part of 5-0 run for the RedHawks to take the advantage back. The teams traded the lead back-and-forth a couple of times until the score was tied at 19. The Zips scored three of the next four points to go in front, 22-20, but back-to-back kills from Riley and Below tied the score and forced an Akron timeout. Out of the break, Below had another kill, and then teamed up with Hill on a block to give Miami set point at 24-22. The Zips were able to fight it off with two straight points, but an Akron attack error followed by a kill from Ingle off of Krista Brakauskas' assist gave the 'Hawks a 26-24 win.
Three kills from Riley were part of an 11-2 opening run for Miami to begin set two. Ingle had a pair of kills, while Hill and sophomore outside hitter Annie Reiswig teamed up for a block as the RedHawks increased the advantage to 11 at 17-6. In front, 19-11, kills by Below and sophomore outside hitter Sarah Chaney were part of a 6-2 closing run that gave Miami a dominating 25-13 victory.
Tied at five in set three, a 9-4 run by the Red and White gave it control at 14-9. Akron fought back with a 6-2 run to pull within one at 15-16 and force a Miami timeout. Out of the break, senior outside hitter Madison Dodd put down a kill, while Chaney followed with two straight blocks to start the 'Hawks on a 6-2 run that made it 22-17. The Zips got as close as two points at 22-24, but a block by Below and Hill finished off a 25-22 win and gave Miami a straight-set victory.
In addition to Riley and Hill's eight kills, Ingle finished with seven kills, while Reiswig had six. Brakauskas led the way with 20 assists, while senior libero Madison Hardy had 11 digs. Miami hit .258 for the match, while holding Akron to a .121 hitting percentage.
The RedHawks continue their homestand on Saturday when they host Buffalo at 5 p.m.

Lake Como and the new scenery of tourism at the turn of the centu
While already renowned as a privileged spot for vacation and elite activities at the turn of the century, Lake Como undertakes significant structural changes that display a greater and more far-reaching conception of tourism. The lecture aims to offer a general view of this territorial and cultural scenery by illustrating different architectural typologies and landscape settings belonging to an "Art Nouveau culture", not as much as their stylistic features are concerned, but as the outcome of a conscious approach to modernity. Consistent examples can be found in hotel and villa developments, new waterways equipments and mountain railways, and also in the strategies to renew the lake perception fostering a more up-to-date cultural image (e.g. the Como 1899 Exhibition celebrating electricity, poster graphics, street furniture and so on).

La contribution de Max Fabiani au renouveau urbain et architecturale au tournant de 19e siècle dans monarchie Danubienne: peut-on parler de l'Art Nouveau urbain?
Dans ma conférence je vais présenter le personnage exceptionnel de Max Fabiani, sa position dans le milieu artistique de Vienne au tournant du 19e siècle, sa relation avec Otto Wagner et le mouvement sécessionniste. Étant un des urbanistes le plus respectés à l'époque à Vienne (il a été le premier à obtenir le titre du docteur en urbanisme) et un des collaborateurs les plus proches de Wagner dans le projet de la construction de la métropolitaine et aussi dans son projet de "Moderne Architektur" il a eu une influence importante sur le mouvement moderne en architecture et urbanisme non seulement dans la capitale de la monarchie, mais aussi dans les centres périphériques. Avant la première guerre mondiale il a marqué considérablement les villes comme par exemple Ljubljana, Trieste, Bielsko, Gorizia. Après la guerre in a déménagé à Gorizia ou il était nommé l'architecte en chef du Département pour la reconstruction de Gorizia et Gradišče. Suivant la contribution de Fabiani à la pensée urbanistique de la fin du siècle je me pose aussi la question, s'il y a et quels sont les liens entre l'urbanisme moderne du tournant du siècle et l'Art nouveau.

The return of the city- the hidden qualities of urban structures
A traditional urban fabric has many qualities, but one of the most important is the flexibility and the ability to foster social relations. This lecture will focus on the physical aspects of urban life and the different ways different physical structures can be understood and used. The case here is Ålesund, Norway's only coherent Art Nouveau city. There are many lessons to be learned by looking at Ålesund. The city is rich in diverse urban physical qualities and a brilliant example of how city planners worked 100 years ago.

Mežaparks in Riga – one of the first garden cities in Europe
Mežaparks, that means "Garden Forest" in Latvian and is known also as "Kaiserwald" in German, was one of the first executions of the idea of garden cities. This idea became popular in late 19th century. In 1900, the municipality of Riga decided to start construction of the new "colony of villas" north of the city centre, in a hilly forest. The director of Riga's gardens, Georg Kupfaldt, worked out the layout of the streets, and the first family houses were constructed in 1901. Horse tramline connecting Mežaparks with the city centre was constructed in 1903 and converted into an electric one in 1910. In this year, the built-up area was extended in the northern direction according to the urban plan, which was commissioned to well-known German planner Hermann Jansen. By the start of World War I, more than 100 buildings were constructed– mainly one-family residences and semidetached houses. They all display typical features of Art Nouveau architecture, the predominant stylistic trend being something close to German "Heimatstil". The period of intensive construction in the Mežaparks was between 1928 and 1932, when some 170 buildings were erected. It was the period of the Modern Movement; therefore Mežaparks in general display a fine interchange of two major architectural styles of the first half of 20th century. It is still an area of superb quality for healthy living.

Tourism and industry: Hotel settlements and industrial complexes in the area of Varese for the creation of a new urban image at the beginning of the XX century
At the beginning of the XX century the territory was characterized by two phenomenons with a great impact: the development of mass tourism and the growth of industrial activities, that, in some cases, contributed significatively in transforming the territory and in constructing a new urban image. The city of Varese and the surrounding area became the destination of mass tourism thanks to huge private investments and the realization of new infrastructures (railroads, funicular, tramways) that allowed rapid connections with Milan and places of great environmental interest. The splendid panoramas of the lakes and the prealps were made easily accessible. Beside the new hotel structures (Grand Hotel at Campo dei Fiori, Palace Hotel at Colle Campigli), which became points of reference in the urban panorama, a construction of a new settlement was programmed but only partly realized, destined to residences for the rich middle class. In the lowland Bust Arsizio and Gallarate were rapidly transformed, favored by the growth of the industrial activities that rose to the symbol of the urban identity. The new industrial complexes, together with the residences for the owners, had a fundamental representative role of the power of the new middle class and they characterized the new urban districts. These buildings constitute a tangible testimony of an epoch of great transformations and today they represent an architectural patrimony that must adequately be preserved.

Lodz around 1900- from the manufacturing village to the industrial city
The origins of Lodz reach back the Medieval times. It was, however, not before the early 19th century when the real development of the city started. The rapid growth was based on the textile industry. During less than a century the number of inhabitants increased 600 times (sic!), but Lodz remained purely a production place. There were no public spaces, no public institutions, and no other features typical for large important cities. The situation was reflected by the urban and architectural image of the city. The situation started to change gradually at the turn of the century. The lecture aims to discuss the role of Art Nouveau in this process.

Katajanokka - an Art Nouveau District, Questions concerning Urban Quality and Protection
The old housing district in Katajanokka is a unique and well-preserved Art Nouveau area in Helsinki and in Finland, and also in a European context. Its urban quality is today highly valued, but it has not always been so. The first town plan is from 1895. The plan was based on regularity, straight streets lines and big closed quarters. The aim of town planning was not urban design - a city as art work, but an effective and practically engineered, steering town plan. The housing area was built in less than 20 years, between 1896-1916. Twenty architects and contractors planned highly individual Art Nouveau apartment houses and the result was a visually solid housing district. Today all Art Nouveau housing areas in Katajanokka is protected by a detailed city plan from 1984. Facades, roofs and townscape is protected, as well as the main staircases. The urban quality of Katajanokka is not only the townscape, but also the authentic spaces and interiors, staircases, constructions and details. Helsinki City Museum´s aim is to preserve these Art Nouveau buildings future generations as authentic for as possible.

"Conquering" the Collserola Range: modernity, leisure and nature
By the 1890s, Barcelona's Eixample district was well established and connected the ancient heart of the city with the settlements at the foot of the Collserola Range, most of which were incorporated into the city in 1897. From that moment on, the city began to consider absorbing this extensive area, most of it forestland that until then had been used for farming activities. The parks and green areas, among them an extensive forest along the Besòs River, that urban planner Cerdà had envisaged for the Eixample had been sacrificed to construction and planned gardens for Montjuïc were still on hold. Given this situation, the city began to look to the mountain, which was crying out to be the city's great green lung. Two private companies became the engine behind a series of works to make the mountain more accessible. From 1899, the El Tibidabo Company Ltd began building on the hillside and peak, creating a 'garden city' and modern leisure installations linked by a tram and funicular (Spain's first). The Catalonia Railways Company electrified and extended the old Sarrià train line to Vallvidrera with another funicular (1906) and opened a tunnel under the mountain range to Sant Cugat del Vallès (1917), passing through the Les Planes area, a popular new leisure destination in the middle of nature. All these works led to the construction of a series of interesting examples of modernista architecture, from houses in the garden city to the buildings required for infrastructure (such as the train and funicular stations, hotels and amusement park installations). One must add that making such a natural space accessible to the city, in which the garden city ideal came to fruition and modern outdoor pastimes were rendered possible, undoubtedly improved the quality of life of Barcelona's inhabitants.

Regione Lombardia: The planned preservation proposal and the emblematic case of Villa Necchi Campiglio in Milan
"Prevention is better than cure" is a well-used slogan; a principle more expressed than really applied in different sectors: from medicine to security and, in the end, to the immovables. The General Management of Regione Lombardia, who promotes historical heritage, launched a program to turn this principle into action. To reach the goals set, the General Management fixed and published some practices and guidelines setting a series of substantial processes for the correct maintenance of immovables. It also supported the realization of an application software called "SIRCoP" to simplify the employment of these processes. Practices, guidelines and software have been produced together with the BEST Department of Politecnico di Milano. To weigh the effectiveness of the general practices already stated in the seventies by Giovanni Urbani and to test the arranged proceedings and software, Regione Lombardia started a testing program and supported different and important interventions to promote its cultural heritage. One of these initiatives is the Villa Necchi-Campiglio, a large villa in the urban centre of Milan, F.A.I-owned. The nature of the immovable property, its history, the quality of the engineering design, its use as a "museum-house", the occasion for restoration work and the F.A.I's will be confrontated with new methods, making this villa a symbolic case of excellence, an example and prototype to export and an incentive to improve.

They and their colleagues on the Pediatric Medicine Unit began noticing a trend over the past few years - the increasing number of patients admitted to the 8th floor who were visibly overweight. The caregivers were confronted with a dilemma: Should they ignore a warning sign of a potential health problem, or find a way to gently raise the topic to parents as a way of helping their child make better nutritional and fitness choices?
The decision was an easy one, no matter how hard it might be to broach the topic. The result is a new hospital-wide undertaking that has been in the works for nearly a year. Against the backdrop of Obesity Awareness Month this September, the program is set to officially launch soon on multiple fronts with the goal of raising obesity awareness.
A multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, and dieticians created an eating- disorder protocol years ago. More recently, this group realized there is no similar program available to benefit patients living with obesity, a condition that has been on the rise among children in the United States.
"We often admit patients who are overweight, but we don't do anything because obesity isn't the reason for their admission, and it's not an acute illness," Kleinmeier said. "But without saying or doing something, I felt we were allowing our patients to be at high risk for heart disease, asthma, type 2 diabetes, and sleep apnea that could affect them the rest of their lives. So I thought there's got to be a better way. We have to at least address it."
Kleinmeier began by reaching out to ACH's Kellie Gilmore, coordinator of Fit4AllKids - the hospital's family fitness and nutritional health program - and discussing ways it could help the new program. That led to the formation of the Wellness Nutrition committee, with Kleinmeier and Bullard serving as co-chairs.
"It started off with just introducing Fit4AllKids and an obesity packet for the high risk patients," she explained. Next, they zeroed in on several areas for improvement: adding more healthy choice options to the in-room menus, re-designing placemats with more attention paid to a healthy lifestyle, and adding health-oriented videos to the in-room Get Well Network.
"Our placemats had a crocodile eating 20 hamburgers, so we looked at the culture of the hospital and what we were portraying," she said. "Now we've designed new placemats and menus. We created one called the Fit4Kid menu and can be ordered by the physicians."
The committee worked with ACH's Family Practice Advocacy Group, run by Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Director Cindy Driscoll, and distributed surveys for kids and parents to fill out with their nutritional preferences.
"We don't want it to be such a drastic change that nobody likes the food, either," Kleinmeier said. "We want a happy medium. We're hoping to plant the seed, per se. We know we're not going to solve the issue of obesity in the world while a child is here for asthma. But we want them to have some resources and support."
Showing parents their child's height, weight and growth charts reinforces the staff's efforts to provide assistance. If a patient's Body Mass Index (BMI) exceeds the accepted range, the protocol will be initiated with the parents and child. "Once we initiate it, we'll try to change their activity status, their diet orders," said Holly Ward, an 8 North nurse involved with the program. "We'll try to get referrals and outpatient care. We give them a huge education pack about meals they can cook at home, how they can shop, and how they can involve their kids in the process."
Various subcommittees have tackled individual tasks. The Wellness committee - including doctors, members of the information technology department and dietary/nutrition staff- convene each month to measure progress and identify goals.
The job of educating the staff on the program belongs to Ward. "I'm going to be the one teaching all the nurses and physicians about the project, what their role is going to be, and how they're going to help us implement it," she said. "We need buy-in from everybody, as we roll this out. So we can all take part in educating the patients and reinforcing with the parents."
What's the biggest challenge she foresees?
"Acceptance," Ward said. "No parent wants to hear, 'My child is overweight or obese.' But family involvement is essential for success. So that's going to be the biggest hurdle: Getting parents to accept our help and educating them on the resources we can provide. "

Comments On Apr 29, 2015:The tire had an extremely soft carcass and had to run 14+ psi to keep from pinch flatting and rolling the sidewall of the tire. It handled pretty well, but would get loose as I transitioned into a turn then would grab once I was totally leaned over. Eventually, it developed a split that ran all the way to cords.

Comments On Mar 23, 2015:This tire is doing just what I needed, works great on the miles of rough, rocky and fast fire roads I run to get me to the woods, then it even works great on the grass tracks, single tracks and snotty trails. Handles rough downhills too which is great for around here. Have almost 100 mi fast, rough riding and the tire shows hardly any wear. Now my go to tire for the Husky beast, ordering a spare.

Comments On Jul 31, 2014:I bought front and rear tires for rocky jeep trails and single track. The front tire has really impressed me. It works okay in soft terrain (i.e., sand) and is great on hardpack and rocks. The side knobs do not chunk when riding at speed in very rocky terrain. This is the first tire I can say that about. The rear tire works great in rocks, and gets very good traction on hard pack, but performs so poorly in sand that it is not useable in AZ. I got hung up on hill climbs that I had never had problems with before due to the poor performance in soft terrain. I took it off after two rides, and put on an IT rear with the EN front. Nice combination for my Summer riding.

Comments On Jan 17, 2014:Used this tire in ST. George and in Vegas, then back home in the deserts of AZ. Maxxis really has a great tire with this one.
I don't buy tires because they last for months. I buy a tire because it performs well. This performs well in a variety of terrains. It is very predictable cornering and gripping.

Comments On Nov 19, 2013:not the best in the sand although i had no real complaints at the hammer run in south jersey. this tire is great for rooty rocky NE singletrack. i love the reinforced knobs on it. you can tell it definitely helps from ripping knobbies off. it wears ok as well. my biggest complaint is i wish the tire was a little taller. if your not running the correct psi it could cause some pinching.

LINCOLNTON, N.C. — A local company is shutting down, forced to lay off 50 people.
Lincolnton Furniture Company will be closing. Owner and CEO Bruce Cochrane says the decision comes with a heavy heart; that the employees were like family to him.
He says the need for capital for a start-up company is constant, but that money dried up. He also says that some unforeseen costs, like rewiring the factory and gas lines, eroded the money even more quickly.
Cochrane was invited to the president's State of the Union address last January, when the president spoke about American jobs.
Cochrane was also invited to the White House to speak with President Barack Obama and other business leaders about bringing overseas job back to America.
The recognition for the company came from the state as well. This past November, Gov. Bev Perdue gave the company an award for workforce development.
The company opened in 2011 bringing back a business Cochrane's family had run in the past.
Cochrane told Eyewitness News over the phone that he is grateful for his employees and what was done.
"The opportunity we had to do what we've done to accomplish the building of an incredibly stellar, state-of -the-art manufacturing facility," he said. "We had a great family atmosphere; we did a lot of things right about being a good employer and treating our employees well. We can always look at that and be proud of it."
He said he is actively seeking opportunities to sell the company or combine with another. If that happens, he hopes some of the employees will be rehired.

Marysville students in tune with the people of Newtown
Dena Mielke
From left, seventh-graders from Marysville's 10th Street Middle School, flutist Olivia Lee, tenor saxophonists Jadelynn Lippman and Nate Novy, and trumpeter Carson Mielke, play music in downtown Seattle during their holiday break to raise money to help people in Newtown, Conn., where a gunman killed 26 people at the town's Sandy Hook Elementary School.
That's what President Barack Obama said Wednesday as he unveiled proposals to ban certain weapons and ammunition magazines, require background checks for gun buyers, boost school security and take other actions.
"If there is even one thing we can do to reduce this violence, if even one life can be saved, we have an obligation to try," Obama said at the White House, with schoolchildren looking on.
Those strong words came a month and two days after a gunman murdered 26 people, 20 of them first-graders, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Far from Newtown, and just days after the tragedy, that impulse -- to do something -- was also felt by middle school students in Marysville.
Wearing Santa hats and with hand-drawn signs saying "Love & Donations for Sandy Hook" and "Playing for Sandy Hook," several young musicians from 10th Street Middle School took to Seattle streets last month.
Dena Mielke, the mother of seventh-grader Carson Mielke, said her son was joined by fellow school band members Nate Novy, Jadelyn Lippmann and Olivia Lee in the fundraising effort. "It was all their idea," Mielke said.
The kids played Christmas carols at Westlake Center and outside the downtown Seattle Nordstrom store for several hours Dec. 18 and Dec. 23, raising money for the Sandy Hook School Support Fund. The fund is overseen by United Way of Western Connecticut.
"The first day they raised $530, and the second day almost $380," Mielke said.
Carson plays trumpet, Nate and Jadelyn are saxophonists, and Olivia plays a flute.
Right after the shootings, Mielke said, "I was debating whether to even bring it up. Carson was really, really sad. I let him lead the conversation."
Twelve-year-old Carson said this week he originally wanted to try raising money as a street musician for Toys for Tots. "We were planning on that, and then this tragedy happened. We changed our plans," he said. "The money will go directly to the school where it can help, maybe with a memorial."
Carson said he first learned about the shootings through a CNN alert on his iPad. In an innovative program, every student at 10th Street Middle School is required to use an iPad for schoolwork. "We all have iPads and we all play in the band," Carson said.
In Seattle, as shoppers rushed by, the kids played "Jingle Bells," "Deck the Halls," "Silent Night," "O Christmas Tree" and other songs. "One lady's sister had been to one of the funerals in Newtown. She donated $40," Carson said.
"It was so bittersweet. people's emotions," said Sharilyn Lippman, Jadelyn's mother. "People would smile, but it was this sorrowful smile. The kids would take a break, and people would still come up and give money."
It was Lippman who contacted Karen Crowley at United Way of Snohomish County to ask how to donate to a cause in Newtown. Crowley is vice president of investor relations for the local United Way.
United Way here, Lippman said, let her know about United Way of Western Connecticut and the Sandy Hook School Support Fund. "United Way does so much good in our community. We felt very comfortable having the kids support it," she said. Lippman, who knows someone with a Starbucks connection, has also been trying to get matching funds from the coffee giant for the students' effort.
Like Mielke and her son, Lippman talked with Jadelyn about the Sandy Hook horror. "It's just ... why? They can't understand it," Lippman said. "The kids said it's a blessing to be able to play Christmas music. Some kids and some parents will never have this chance."
Obama talked about taking action. So did young Carson.
"Even though I'm just a kid, I am able to make a difference in somebody else's life, and show people we do have power," the boy said.

Cool Cars, Hot Prices
In the past, buying a new vehicle was a much thought over, long-time investment. Today's multitude of options makes getting a new ride easier than ever. Automotive shoppers have three ways to put a shiny new vehicle in their garages:
New cars bought through full service dealerships,
Pre-owned certified vehicles bought through the same dealerships or mega automotive retail centres
Used cars bought privately or through corner lots all over North America.
In the past, buying a car or truck meant choosing between a new vehicle with a one year warranty at a high price or finding a used vehicle with no warranty and the possibility of hidden problems.

I think we should keep Wilcox. Considering what the market is this summer...be smart Bower...make a good financial decision...don't give him more than 2 years.

So Chandler declines to over 8 boards a game and he is trash. Wilcox has hit that mark maybe once in his career for a season and he is a beast? He also gets manhandled in the post. He is not a good defender. I do think he has potential offensively and would be a real nice backup. If he played decent defense, he would be an adequate starter.Originally Posted by truck man
and then at the end of the year we let him go, along with smithOriginally Posted by truck man
and next year we have no chandler, wilcox, or smith
so do yall think that wilcox will become a better player from being on a better team?
those TC basketballs they gave away at the Bulls game are collectors' items now!
I think many are surprised as it is very rare for a contending team to dump salary at the deadline. They are usually looking to add valuable pieces for a stretch run, not looking to dump their starting center to save salary.Originally Posted by UNO Gracias
He's not on a better team.Originally Posted by chubbs91
The Thunder have had a better record than the Hornets of late and I'm pretty sure it will continue for the next 4-5 seasons at least.
I want to know why we couldn't dump Ely on the Thunder in this deal! He and Wilcox look a lot alike actually...
Wilcox is younger than TC, and has never had the luxury of playing on a team of this calaber. Keep dogging the kid.

He is a 1/2 season rental unless he takes a small contract to stay with us.Originally Posted by UNO Gracias
thank you.Originally Posted by UNO Gracias
to say the thunder are better the hornets is just obnoxious

Wrong! They're the same age, Chandler is technically younger.Originally Posted by UNO Gracias
So he's not on a better team??? Yea whatever.Originally Posted by Eleven79
Don't get it twisted fam, OKC is building a nice young squad but the Hornets have better coaching, mindset, and a better core of players.
Idk what's wrong with people today.

The fact that we have lost lately has nothing to do with us missing the whopping 8 ppg , 8 boards (from a center is pathetic) and 1 block per game that TC brought.
you are delusionalOriginally Posted by UNO Gracias
we wouldn't save any money that way, which goes agianst the whole point of this deal
yeah i know.Originally Posted by UNO Gracias
Quoted for the truth.Originally Posted by HORNETSFAN
lol maybe i'm looking at it the wrong way plus i'm biased for my team but think about it like this. Both players are averging 8 points a game....Wilcox is averaging 3 less rebounds. They're the same exact age. Chandler has the obvious advantage with Paul and other superior players on the court. Wilicox's production will likely go up....plus we get 2 other bigs in the trade. If they play well the next couple months, then the Hornets should go ahead and resign them next season. I don't see such a drastic drop off here.

Washington, D.C. - The U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC) will hold a hearing entitled, "Gas Prices in the Northeast: Potential Impact on the American Consumer Due to Loss of Refining Capacity" on Thursday, April 26, 2012, at 2:15 p.m., in room G-50 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. The hearing will focus on the impact potential closures of petroleum refineries serving the Northeast could have on prices at the pump in the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions.
The loss of refining capacity in the region will place additional pressure on the transportation infrastructure, which may be inadequate to make up this lost refinery capacity. The hearing will analyze whether the centralization of refining activities in the Gulf Coast region will affect the price of gasoline, diesel or heating oil or lead to potential shortages of those fuels in the Northeast.
"Rising gas prices coupled with decreasing refining capacity on the east coast raise serious questions about our ability to ensure an adequate supply of affordable fuel for American consumers," said Senator Casey. "This hearing will shed light on the impact that decreased refining capacity will have on the price and supply of gasoline and heating oil for those that depend on it in the northeast."
WHAT: Hearing on "Gas Prices in the Northeast: Potential Impact on the American Consumer Due to Loss of Refining Capacity"
WHO: Dr. Diana Moss, Vice President
American Antitrust Institute
Washington, DC
Mr. Robert Greco, Group Director of Downstream and
Industry Operations, American Petroleum Institute

Since our first year of production in 1994, Galvan has developed a loyal following of fly anglers who have come to trust our uniquely designed, full-featured series of reels.
If you appreciate the benefits of modern craftsmanship, style and performance in a name that is more reel than price, maybe your next reel should be a Galvan!
All models are fully machined from 6061 bar-stock aluminum and anodized to a semi-gloss finish. By fully ventilating both the one-side frame and push-button, quick release spool, every reel is comfortably light weight - a perfect match for today's high performance fly rods. Spools are counter-balanced for wobble-free rotation and feature a contoured Delrin handle.
Bonifacio Galvan is a small-stream, Sierra trout fisherman by avocation, and a machinist by trade. After fishing his home waters for years with commercially available reels, Galvan began to envision a design of his own. What was he looking for in a fly reel? What we all want: A light, rugged reel with exceptionally smooth action and drag system, pleasing aesthetics, and durability.
And so the Galvan reel was born. Its genesis was in the high mountain streams of the central Sierra Nevada, and in Boni Galvan's desire to make a better fly reel. In 1992, using his machinist's skills and trout fisherman's intuition, Galvan created the first prototype. Since then his reel has metamorphosed through several configurations, until, in the summer of 1994 it was ready for distribution. The finished product is one of the lightest, smoothest, most simply elegant reels in its price class.

Hey David, Dan,, John, and
Hey David, Dan,, John, and Mike, This is Steven Naimon from Geneva, Nebraska. You guys are my absolute favorite band and the songs ive heard from Asylum so far are 5 star material. anyway heres my question...I'm sure you write and record more songs than what are on your albums so I was just wondering how do you decide which of the songs you record for an album should actually make it to the album?
Hey guys, My question is for
Hey guys,
My question is for David, I really enjoyed the melody and tone in your voice in The Animal and The Night and I was wondering if you have ever thought about making like a side project solo album?
Rob Alexander
Heyas Guys :) My name is
Heyas Guys :) My name is Holly in Columbus, OH
I was wondering one thing, what is the one thing that has made the most impact in your lives?
PS: There are no proper words to ever truly thank you for all the times you have not only saved my sanity, but my life as well. From the first beat of DWTS that I heard back in 2001, I have not ever thought about suicide ever again, and I want to thank you all so much! You guys helped me to find a strength I never knew I had, and I also found a new hope in life :) THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
To David: When/how did you
To David: When/how did you lose your hair, or did you shave it all at first? I've seen some pre-Sickness videos of the band live with you having hair and was just wondoring haha.
All of Disturbed: is there any genre of music you all absolutely despise?
Is that cover contest you
Is that cover contest you guys have on your website ever going to be judged? Or did somebody running the message board just play a mean trick on us?
To begin, I just want to say
To begin, I just want to say you guys are amazing! Every song of yours has either spoken to me lyric-wise or melody-wise. Music has always been my haven from all the disarray in my life and finding the right band that describes my energy had been difficult until I found you guys! Currently, "The Night" gives me hope and strength!
I have a two-part question for David.
On a recent road trip with my mom, I got her hooked on the song "Darkness". She says that you have a very beautiful acoustic voice and you are incredible when it comes to a ballad (or at least its what she refers it as). I know that this particular song was a departure from your usual songs. However, it blew me away the first time I heard it. That song is definitely different from what I am used to hearing from Disturbed.
With this in mind, I am wondering: What inspired you to create Darkness? And my mother keeps asking me: given the amazing range of your voice, have you considered adding other ballads like it in the future? (And it's not that we want you to be Tom Jones or anything (lol), but we both find the song fascinating.)
David, you've been a huge inspiration to me and I've always wanted to talk to you! (I would love to meet you in person, someday. Currently… I'm too damn shy in person.)
Thanks so much.
Hey Disturbed i first wanna
Hey Disturbed i first wanna say congratz on the new album and i was wondering what has been the main influence on the songs you write?
With the footage I have seen
With the footage I have seen from Uproar so far, it seems to have one of the most impressive stages you guys have played on. Are there any plans of releasing live footage from this tour, or any tour for that matter on DVD or Blu Ray? I think a Disturbed Blu Ray would be amazing and I'm sure there are a lot of fans that would appreciate it as much as I would.
You recently covered "Living
You recently covered "Living After Midnight", was wondering if you plan to cover some other songs? And if so, which ones would you like to cover if you could?
I am curious to know what
I am curious to know what songs you've written have the most meaning to you and why.

MARK KEOHANE writes sanity has won the day and Duane Vermeulen has not been considered for the Stormers Super Rugby semi-final against the Sharks.
The Stormers management all week have hinted at Vermeulen playing, even though his last match was three months ago.
Vermeulen's knee, like that of Schalk Burger and Nick Koster's, has taken a beating in this year's competition and it would have been unfair on the player to expect him to play a semi-final.
Deon Fourie, who started the season at hooker, will start at No 8.
Earlier today I wrote: Duane Vermeulen should be a Springbok. He should have been picked two years ago. He should have been picked for the Rugby World Cup. He should have … should have … would have finally had injury not prematurely ended his participation in the league stages of this year's Super Rugby competition.
Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer, in private conversation, and publicly made no secret about his admiration of Vermeulen's play. The player, said Meyer, had the kind of physicality suited to Test rugby but he also had a composure Meyer believed would blossom in the Test environment. The initial Bok Test plan was to start with Vermeulen at No 8 and introduce Pierre Spies from the bench. Vermeulen then got injured. So did Ryan Kankowski and with neither Schalk Burger nor Juan Smith available the Bok coach went with convention and with a player familiar in Spies.
The Stormers, without Burger, Vermeulen and Nick Koster for most of the season, have severely been tested in this department. Siya Kolisi has grown from boy to man with regular playing opportunity, but playing the likes of hooker Deon Fourie at No 8 is a short-term holding job and is no replacement for a player like Vermeulen.
I can understand the management's haste to have Vermeulen play against the Sharks and, if successful, in the final a week later, but I also fail to see how a player who has been injured for so long can be expected to start a Super Rugby semi-final? I don't care who it is, there is no way he can be physically or emotionally up to the demands of a match of this nature. We know that Saturday's semi-final against the Sharks is going to be played at a frenetic pace and the opening 40 minutes is going to be taxing, brutal and, if you are sitting in the stands, bloody amazing to watch.
But who can expect a player to produce anything of substance in such circumstances if he hasn't even had a club match to test the knee.
There was a similar rush to get Juan Smith back for the World Cup a season ago and all it did was add an additional six months to his rehabilitation and also potentially end his international career. We still don't know if Smith will play again or if he will ever play to the ability that made him one of the best in the game.
I'd hate to see Vermeulen injure the knee again because of a selfless act in believing he has to play. I'd hate to see a player's year ended because of the potential of a Super Rugby final at home. There is a bigger picture for Vermeulen, and it includes playing Test rugby this season and making a contribution to the Springboks in the Rugby Championship and on the end-of-year tour.
I don't think he will be any better than what has been playing for the Stormers in the last month, purely because of his lack of match conditioning and because of the doubts concerning his knee in contact. To expect him to play and to play to the standard he has set in the last few seasons is unfair and unrealistic.
The Stormers management should have written him off as a possibility, as they have done with Koster and Burger, and focused on those fit and available.
I am sure it is what it will come to. At least I hope so because Vermeulen, the unluckiest player when it comes to Bok selection, needs a bit of luck and he needs someone to put his personal aspirations first.
Not to mention his long-term contribution to rugby in the Western Cape.

NEW ORLEANS-- Each year, dozens of Carnival parades dazzle people from all over the city, the country and the world.
It's part of the reason New Orleans police take security along the routes so seriously.
'We have officers who are specifically targeting those who we suspect are carrying a gun. And if you're carrying a gun, you're going straight to jail,' said New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Ronal Serpas.
So far this year, New Orleans police have arrested 17 people for carrying a gun within a 1,000 feet of a Carnival parade. One of those happened just this past weekend: police arrested Carlos Williams, 22, after they found him carrying a handgun as a parade rolled Uptown on Saturday night.
According to state law, that is a felony. However, two days later, the Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office struck a deal with Williams, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and was sentenced to nearly six months in jail.
'The policy of this office is of removing those misdemeanors from the (Orleans Parish Criminal District Court) -- let those judges deal with the more serious felony charges, the acts of violence,' said District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro.
Cannizzaro said Williams did not have a prior criminal record, which is taken into consideration when deciding whether to pursue such arrests as a felony or a misdemeanor.
He also said the move to municipal court helped expedite the case, going from an arrest to a guilty plea in two days.
The felony law came on the books after several high profile shootings along parade routes in New Orleans, including one where seven people were shot on Mardi Gras Day in 2009 along the Uptown route. Afterwards, the state legislature took action.
'You know, sometimes we find that much of the legislation passed is sometimes a knee-jerk reaction to some activity that takes place, especially in New Orleans. I've always felt we have enough laws on the books,' Cannizzaro said, when asked if it was worth the legislature going through the effort to pass the law.
In the meantime, police are slightly outpacing the number of gun arrests along parade routes this year, when compared to the previous two Carnival seasons. Just how many end up being pursued as felonies remains to be seen.

Great for Running!
Just wanted to chime in and add that I've been using these for my runs, which go for about 30 min across various terrains. Overall Just wanted to chime in and add that I've been using these for my runs, which go for about 30 min across various terrains. Overall I'd recommend them if you're primary use for them is working out, they give decent sound and stay put. Please feel free to read on for more details:
The good:
1. They stay in the ear canal comfortably. I had to switch to the larger silicone inserts but after that, they work great. I wear them on 30 min. runs with no problems at all. I also wear them at work for roughly 4 hours increments and they're still comfortable.
2. They don't jostle around while on the move. I was worried that while I was running they would move up and down and rub the ears, but they feel like they're staying put.
3. They have a controller at the y split. One of the things I didn't care for with the stock iPhone 5 headphones is that the sound controls/mic were on one side. With it on the y split of this I can get to the controls easily with either hand.
4. Low profile. I was also concerned that since they went over the ear that they'd have a really big profile, but once you get it behind the ear they aren't all that noticeable, especially when compared w/ other IEMs.
The Bad (or why it didn't get 5 stars)
1. The bass is lacking. I listen to trance and EDM, so a lot of my stuff loves having a nice full bass. While the bass isn't terrible, it could be better. I've had some IEMs that can make my head rumble while listening.
Due to the lower bass, I end up having to turn up the volume a bit more than on some other headphones. This isn't an end of the world thing at all, but I can't give these buds a 5 star with this shortcoming.
Overall, I would recommend these headphones if you're looking for a good workout pair. They'll also do for day to day use, but you might want some more bass. …

Great build quality and sound but...
This may be a bit of a personal preference, the headphones have great sound quality (pretty good high, mid and low range) - as lon This may be a bit of a personal preference, the headphones have great sound quality (pretty good high, mid and low range) - as long as you put them in your ear properly, these being the in-ear variety of headphones. The build quality is very good i find, and the wrap around the ear design is excellent, and will not come loose under stress (perfect for the running/gym going which i use these for). And the mic sounds great for calls.
So Sennheiser got it right this time? Well, almost...
First, the location and size of the i-controller/mic. The controller is too small, and buttons too close together without enough separation or height to tell the difference - you will frequently miss the play/pause button for either of the volume up/down; which is an annoying distraction while running and want to skip songs, and dont want to look for the button.
Second, the location of the controller, which is located where the cables for the left/right earpieces split. I would prefer the controller be higher up on the right earpiece (like the Apple headphones) so its easy to get to (other workout headphones do this). Size wouldnt be as much of an issue, but i usually tuck my headphones under my shirt/jacket for running/gym so the cable doesnt get in my way. Sweatproof headphones are awesome like that. The location of the controller makes it so i have to have an unusual amount sticking out at the top so i can get to the controller (worst while running and wearing a jacket, make it difficult to get to the controller). That, or keep the headphones on the outside bouncing around during your workout...
Would i recommend these? If you can get past the ergonomics/use of the size/location of the controller, these make great sport headphones. …

Super comfortable and they stay put!
I really like these headphones! They replaced the Monster iSports that I had.
Great over the ear design keeps them in no matter I really like these headphones! They replaced the Monster iSports that I had.
Great over the ear design keeps them in no matter what you're doing. The cord doesn't pull them out and this also keeps it away from your face. They are really light and the most comfortable phones I've ever had. Controls are easy to access and click.
The sound is pretty good, but the upper mids are a bit harsh. I'm not a huge fan of sound signature, but I can live with it because the design makes up for it and the bass is good. Cable is a little thin but the build quality is great so they should last. A little better sound and these would be perfect. Worth the money. …

A new handbook on the Apostle Paul's letters written by the dean of Columbia International Seminary & School of Ministry is getting good reviews. "Interpreting the Pauline Letters" by Dr. John Harvey is the inaugural volume in a "Handbooks for New Testament Exegesis" series from Kregel Publications.
While the book explores the setting and theological themes of each letter, it also discusses strategies for communicating the central truths of Paul's first-century messages to a 21st century audience.
The book is written with seminary and graduate students in mind, but the studious lay person will also benefit from it.
Dr. Ralph Enlow, the president of the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE), says that while "Interpreting the Pauline Letters" is analytical and scholarly, John Harvey "demonstrates that true biblical scholarship is not an end, but a means by which to further the purposes for which Scripture has been given: teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness."

Michael C Stevens PhD
Associate Professor (Adjunct) of Psychiatry; Director, Clinical Neuroscience and Development Laboratory at Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center; Director, Child & Adolescent Research, The Institute of Living
Research Interests
Functional connectivity; developmental cognitive neuroscience; identification of disease endophenotypes; neuroimaging brain response to psychiatric treatment
Research Summary
The CNDLAB variously focuses on research of several psychiatric disorders commonly seen in pediatric groups, including Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Conduct Disorder, and Autism Spectrum Disorders. To better understand how abnormalities of brain structure and function may contribute to these illnesses, the laboratory employs functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electrophysiology (event-related potential and time-frequency decomposition analyses), eye tracking techniques, neuropsychological assessment, brain structure analysis (including diffusion tensor imaging), and genetic analysis techniques. The CNDLAB also uses these techniques to study brain structure and function during typical adolescent and young adult maturation.
Extensive Research Description
Currently, Dr. Stevens is responsible for directing a clinical neuroscience research lab at the Olin NRC that uses neuroimaging (both fMRI and structural neuroimaging) and other neurobiological research techniques (EEG, genetics, neuropsychological assessment) to address cognitive and clinical neuroscience questions in childhood psychiatric disorders. Dr. Stevens' faculty responsibilities all directly involve research, or teaching/administrative duties relevant to this research mission. Dr. Stevens' research is broadly aimed at better understanding the neurobiological basis of many different neuropsychiatric illnesses. He is principal investigator on projects studying the genetic and neural basis of AD/HD, Conduct Disorder, adolescent depression, and traumatic brain injury, and makes active contributions to multiple other NIH-funded grants of his colleagues. Although he has varied interests in the types of psychopathology he studies, his career activities have been generally focused on understanding developmental aspects of psychopathology. His research program to date can be broadly described as study of neurobiological risk for psychiatric illness, differentiating clinically similar psychiatric disorders that arise in childhood on the neurobiological level (including identifying predictive endophenotypes for genetic association studies), and studying the interaction of neurobiological abnormalities and maturation. In particular, Dr. Stevens has made significant conceptual contributions in the past several years to understanding neural network connectivity in neurodevelopmental psychiatric illnesses and cognitive development. He is positioned to become a leader in the field of developmental cognitive neuroscience by examining trajectories of neural network development, relationships between structural and functional neural network integration, and how abnormalities in systems-level brain connectivity contribute to the pathophysiology of psychiatric illnesses.
