NBA Player Combinations
Last night I made some changes to the player lineup pages, team lineup pages, and Lineup Finder, so I'd like to take a minute to describe them here.
On both the player and team lineup pages I have added tables for 2-, 3-, and 4-man player combinations in addition to the table for 5-man lineups. I also added a row at the bottom of each table listing the season average for the team/player, so when you sort the table you can see how the performance of a particular combination compares to the team/player average.
On the Lineup Finder I added an option to select 5-, 4-, 3-, or 2-man combinations. Adding this option made it necessary to restrict the searches to one season at a time (as opposed to five before), but I think the benefits of this change far outweigh the costs necessary to implement it.

1980-81 NBA Box Scores
It was almost one year ago that we announced that we had posted copies of every box score in NBA history. However, since these box scores were scans we could not create player game logs, compute player splits, etc. As we said in that post, it is our goal to one day have all of these games in a database-friendly format.
On that note, I'm happy to announce that the work for the 1980-81 regular season has been completed. Please take some time to check out the box scores, player and team game logs, and player and team splits for the 1980-81 NBA season. Keep in mind that almost all of the scanned box scores are abbreviated (i.e., they only contain field goals, free throws, and points for the players), so there will be many missing values for each game.

1943-1998 College Basketball Stats, 8000+ Team Seasons
College basketball is a difficult sport for statisticians. There are currently 347 Division I programs, more than 11 times the number of NBA teams. Due in part to the large number of teams, complete college basketball stats are hard to come by (we currently have complete Division I stats back to the 1998-99 season).
We have had scans of historical college basketball stat sheets for some time, but the process to get them on the site was a bit laborious. However, I happy to announce today that we have added scans of stat sheets for 326 different schools, accounting for 8404 team seasons (full inventory after the jump).
Our hope is to one day replace these scans with stat tables that you can sort, etc., but for now we hope you enjoy this addition to the site. Please let us know if you have any questions or comments regarding the site.

News and Notes
There have been several updates to Basketball-Reference.com over the last few weeks, so I thought I should take some time to summarize them here:
- I have added partial box scores for the 1981-82 season. We now have complete box scores (box scores with rebounds, assists, etc.) dating back to the 1985-86 season and partial box scores (box scores with field goals, free throws, and points) dating back to the 1981-82 season.
- Related to the above, I also added partial player game logs and splits for the 1981-82 season.
- Also related to the first item, I added partial composite box scores for the 1982 playoffs.
- Thanks to a lot of assistance from Neil Paine, detailed positions (i.e., PG, SG, SF, PF, C) have been added to the team pages. Assigning positions is more art than science, so we've done the best we could with players who did not have an obvious fit. The positions have been "proofed" back to the 1977-78 season, meaning that Neil and I have gone though the data and made sure that each position for each team has no less than 8 percent of the team's total minutes and no more than 32 percent of the team's total minutes. We'll continue to work on this, but for obvious reasons it becomes much more difficult as we go back in time. The detailed positional data will be added to other pages (e.g., the player pages) in the coming weeks.
- Thanks in part to Pete Palmer, I have added composite box scores for all NBA Finals dating back to 1950. There are some holes in the data: minutes played are missing for the 1952-1954 and 1956 Finals; field goal attempts are missing for the 1950 Finals; rebounds are missing for the 1953 and 1954 Finals; and assists are missing for the 1950, 1953, 1954, and 1957-1959 Finals. If you can help us fill in any of these missing values we would love to hear from you.
- Finally, we have received many, many complaints about the Elo Player Rater. While we have done our best to block automated voting and other nefarious techniques, there are still some really wacky results (e.g., as I type this Kobe Bryant is ranked outside the top 200). Over the next few weeks I am going to think about the best way to address this, and my hope is to implement some sort of "patch" early in 2013.
Well, that should do it for now. I don't know if I'll be posting again in 2012, so let me take this opportunity to wish you and yours a Happy Hairston Jrue Holiday.

Automatic Player Linker and Newsfeeds
This is a reminder about Basketball-Reference's automatic linking tool, which makes it very easy for you to add links to a player's BBR page from your blog posts or news stories. The BBR Linker is a javascript bookmarklet that has a couple of interesting applications:
- If you are composing your posts in supported blogging or bulletin board software, clicking the bookmarklet will take the text you have typed and wrap every active player's name with a link to their BBR page. We are happy to add more options if the software you use is not currently supported; just let us know.
- If you are on a web page with player names in the text, select the text with your mouse and click the bookmarklet. After a few seconds, links to BBR pages for the player names that appear in the selected text will be automatically added.
Please see the linker page for full instructions and some areas to test the bookmarklet.
By itself this feature is pretty handy, but if you are a site owner you may want something in return for linking to Tim Duncan's or LaMarcus Aldridge's BBR page from your blog posts. We agree, so we have added a feature to return the link back to you.
Those stories are used to populate the "Player News" section just above the player's stats. If you are a blog owner or author, you can use our linker to automatically have your articles added to relevant player pages. If you tag your player names with links to our site — and we can find those links in your RSS feed — we will add a link to your article on the player's page. For example, this Hickory-High post is currently the first link in Derrick Rose's newsfeed.
Please read this description of the service for complete details, including the information that we need from you before you can start to see your content linked from the BBR player pages.

Team Game Finder
The BBR Team Game Finder is a powerful Play Index tool. Here are some of the things you can do with it:
Single Game mode - Use this to get a list of specific games the meet certain criteria. Clicking the game date will take you to the game's box score.
Example: Biggest single-game scoring margin since 1985-86.
Cumulative Season Games mode - This adds up all the games (within the chosen criteria) for each team-season. Cumulative Season mode basically turns this tool into a "Team Season Finder".
Example: Fewest FG allowed in December games, 1985-86 to 2010-11.
Cumulative Multi-Season Games mode - This totals all the stats (meeting the specified criteria) across all years for each team. You can use it to build franchise leaderboards.
Example: Most points in home wins over the past five seasons.
Season Games mode - Use this to find teams that had the most total games matching a certain criteria in a single season.
Example: Which 1990s single-season team had the most games with 100+ points?
Total Games mode - Use this to find teams that had the most total games matching a certain criteria across multiple seasons.
Example: In the 2000s, which team has the most games where they allowed 85 or fewer points?

Bears-Lions Preview
While a second-half collapse has put their postseason hopes in doubt, the Chicago Bears managed to stay alive with a big win last weekend.
Now, another victory coupled with some help from their archrival would allow them to sneak in.
Visiting Chicago first tries to get past Calvin Johnson and the slumping Detroit Lions on Sunday before turning its attention to a late-afternoon showdown between the NFC North's other two teams.
The Bears (9-6) surely had their sights set on the division crown after opening 7-1 but they'd gladly settle for one of the conference's two wild-card spots.
Chicago heads into the final week of the regular season on the outside of the playoff picture but could still get in with a victory at Ford Field and a Green Bay win at Minnesota later in the day.
"This time of year, you want to be in it, you want to be relevant, and we are," coach Lovie Smith said. "We have a chance, and that's all you can hope for. It's not an ideal situation that we're in. But hopefully we can take care of business and do all that we can do. And from there, after we've gotten ourselves in this position, that's about all we can hope for."
Chicago, which has won just two of its last seven after last Sunday's 28-13 victory at Arizona, appears to have another favorable matchup against a Detroit team that's given up an average of 31.9 points during a seven-game losing streak. The Bears have taken eight of nine in this series, including a 13-7 win Oct. 22.
"It's safe to say (the Lions) are disappointed in their season, so they would love nothing more than to make us disappointed for the rest of the year," Jay Cutler told the Bears' official website. "This is a big game. Last week was a big game. We've got to win. There is nothing else to be said about it... these are the games you've got to have.
"It's just like any other game: red zone, third down, ball security; if we do all of those things and hopefully get the running game going a little bit, we should be fine."
Chicago, though, could have a hard time with Matt Forte banged up. The fifth-year back, who's compiled 1,075 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns over those last nine matchups against the Lions (4-11), left last weekend's game with an ankle injury but went through a full practice Friday and is listed as probable.
Smith was also hopeful about Brian Urlacher's chances of playing for the first time since injuring his hamstring in Week 13. Urlacher went through a limited practice Friday in his first workout since suffering the injury but is listed as doubtful, likely leaving the Bears short-handed as they try to contain Johnson.
The All-Pro wideout hauled in 11 receptions for a season-high 225 yards last Saturday in a 31-18 loss to Atlanta, surpassing Jerry Rice's NFL single-season record with 1,892 yards. Johnson is also the first player to post 100 yards receiving in eight consecutive games and 10 catches in four straight.
"Personal records are great, and we certainly celebrate the season Calvin that has had, but it hasn't translated to enough wins," coach Jim Schwartz said. "We need more help around him."
Johnson, though, was held to season lows in the October loss, finishing with only three catches for 34 yards.
Matthew Stafford could also enter his name into the record books with a big game Sunday. Stafford, who's thrown for 4,695 passing yards, has a chance to become the first player to record 5,000 in back-to-back seasons. New Orleans' Drew Brees (4,781) and New England's Tom Brady (4,543) could also get there.
"I'd love to be able to be able to do it again," Stafford said. "But I'd love for it to come with a win."
Despite enduring their fair share of frustrations this season, the Lions appear to be plenty motivated for Sunday's showdown. They're hoping to snap their longest skid since going 0-16 in 2008.
"You want to end the season on a high note. Last year we were a playoff team - unless you win the Super Bowl you're not winning your last game," Schwartz told the team's official website. "It does give you a little bit of feeling going into the offseason. It's one of 16, but it is the last one that we play.
"Nobody wants teams to celebrate at your own expense. I think that's important."
While Johnson was named to his third consecutive Pro Bowl, Chicago will be represented by fellow receiver Brandon Marshall along with Tim Jennings, Charles Tillman, Julius Peppers and Henry Melton. Marshall has already posted career highs of 113 catches, 1,466 yards and 11 TDs in his first season with the Bears.

Firefighter dies battling Philadelphia blaze
Sunday - 4/7/2013, 2:56am EDT
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- A fire burned a fabric shop, upstairs apartments and a neighboring boutique Saturday evening, causing a partial roof collapse that killed a firefighter and injured a colleague who tried in vain to rescue him.
Firefighters saluted as the body of 53-year-old Capt. Michael Goodwin was carried from the remnants of the burned building in the city's Fabric Row section. He was killed in a fall from the third floor roof to the second, Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers said at a news conference.
The colleague who tried save him, 28-year-old Andrew Godlinski, was burned but is expected to survive, Ayers said.
The fire broke out around 5 p.m. at Jack B. Fabrics and spread to Urban Princess, a store next door. The stores' proprietors said everyone in both buildings at the time of the fire managed to escape.
The fire's cause wasn't immediately known, but fabric store owner Bruce Blumenthal told The Philadelphia Inquirer he believes it started in a wall and may have been electrical in nature.
Blumenthal said he smelled smoke coming from the basement and found a box of collars and cuffs on fire. He tried to put the flames out with an extinguisher, to no avail.
The fire cut power to more than 300 customers. The Red Cross is assisting at least 17 people.
Two city firefighters died a year ago this month when a building collapsed while they were inspecting it after an adjacent blaze.

The 30-year-old is a free agent after a short-term deal with Barnsley came to an end earlier this summer.
Turner, who moved from Stirling Albion to Everton in 2003, had endured a 22-month injury nightmare before joining Barnsley. A loan move to Dunfermline from Preston was cut short in March 2012 due to a back problem.
Sheffield United manager Nigel Clough, who is also running the rule over former Derby goalkeeper Ross Atkins, said: "We're taking a look at Iain and Ross and then we'll be making a decision pretty soon."
Turner has one Scotland B cap and was included in full international squads during Craig Levein's stewardship.
The former Motherwell striker, Michael Higdon, joined the club last week

Is it just me or is the performance pretty bad for the UI (the browser in particular). I understand that the 3G connection is slow and that may be upgraded to 4G in the future, but just loading up a web page and scrolling is painfully slow. The delay and refresh when scrolling or clicking on links/etc is so noticeable that I'm concerned that in a few years it'll be so outdated with what we are used to from mobile devices, that it'll be painful to use (it almost is now). Is it due to a slow CPU or graphics processor used for the display OS? Could that be upgraded in the future?
Anyone sharing the same concerns?
Yes, mine is slow as well, however, I get the feeling it will get faster when Tesla chooses a final service provider, and upgrades the software to accept 4G connectivity.
I recently logged into my Facebook page via my S, and I have my FB security set to send me an e-mail anytime a new device is used. The e-mail said I was logging in from a device that was located in Chicago, IL (and I am in So California), so that also might be a factor as to why it's so slow.
With that slow speed, does it play flash, youtube, netflix, videos from the web?
The Tesla browser doesn't appear to support audio or video at all, nor does it appear to support Flash.
TikiMan - Try going to an IP look-up Web page and see where it says the provider is located. Until TM activates the WiFi and we can get on a faster router, we won't know if the slowness is a function of 3G speed or the UI software.
If the UI was the problem (as opposed to the internet connection speed), then other functions that are not connection dependent would also be slow. Since other menu and UI functions are not, it's a pretty safe bet that it's the connection speed.
I hope they get LTE eventually. Blazing fast.
I would chalk it up to 3G too, but when I have a page fully loaded, just scrolling up/down has a visible lag and trying to click on a HTML form (like a remember login checkbox) takes 3-5 seconds for the click to actually register on the page. That makes me thing it's more of a CPU thing. The rest of the UI is most likely native code developed while the browser is a custom app they built from webkit. That could explain why the browser is slow but the rest of the UI isn't as much.
A faster connection will definitely make the page render faster, but it won't do anything to speed up the app on a fully rendered page (unless the page is doing some AJAX calls of some sort).
Anyway, not a big deal right now, but I know it's going to be one when the download speed increases but the UI is still slow to respond.
I agree that this looks like a CPU bottleneck.
I only played with the touchscreen for a few minutes at a Tesla store, and I found that most of the UI on the native apps is pretty snappy, but two of them were significantly choppier: the maps app (especially when panning and zooming) and the web browser.
The hardware is a Tegra 3 - essentially a quad-core ARM processor with a beefy GPU - which should be more than enough to drive the screen and the apps that Tesla has shipped so far. The web browser is also WebKit, which on other platforms with significantly less powerful CPUs is able to run much more smoothly. So my hope is that Tesla just hasn't gotten around to optimizing WebKit and that there's a ton of improvement to be had from a potential future update. For instance, maybe their WebKit implementation isn't currenly using hardware acceleration for rendering websites; using a software renderer is incredibly slow and would easily bring the ARM CPU to its knees. Same for the maps app.
Another option is that the screen is just too high resolution for the Tegra (too many pixels to drive). Does anyone know the screen resolution? Maybe someone with the car can go to a website like http://www.screenresolution.org/ both in full screen and half-screen modes and report back?
Is the slowness intermittent? If it is not happening all the time, I wonder if the problem could be that the factory is downloading or uploading data in the background.
On the other topic of videos, it seems like they could make video accessible as long as the car is in park. That might appease the safety activists.
It would be nice to access the latest animated weather graphics or a live highway video during a charging stop before your voyage over a mountain pass.
1920 x 1200. And it does not change from half to full screen. I did the pinch resizing and it is quite slow repainting. That was not a reload from the web.
Another thing I saw: I got my ip address. It indicates AT&T. But when I went back out later, I had a different address and hostname. The hostname indicates also dmz. The new ip means it is getting ip from DHCP I guess, and doing that after it wakes up. I do not have the new power saving download yet. I might also guess from this that the mother ship does not call, instead the car checks in periodically. Probably no way to get it from outside, it just checks in and takes instructions for downloads, pushing logs, crying for help, etc.
I tried SpeedTest.net but it does not work without Flash.
Thanks for testing the screen resolution bfranks273.
In half-screen mode the web browser will be using a resolution of at most 960x1200. That's something the Tegra 3 GPU should be able to handle easily.
Here's hoping there's indeed tons of room for optimization in future updates.
Try this: http://www.tracert.org/bandwidth_meter/ no Flash needed.
OK tried that but highly variable. Here are a series of readings: .55mbps, 2.5, 1.0, .89, .90, 1.1, 1.4, 1.4
I think if Tesla uses the same system as IPhone 5, Internet will work much better
If there's only a lag when a page is loaded it could be a memory/swap file problem IMHO.
ylyubarsky, they use the same browser engine as iOS: WebKit. There are other optimizations I'm sure they can make in the UI.
@Vawlkus, it's not just the loading, it's mainly after the page is fully loaded and rendered. Scrolling down on a long browser page is painfully slow. There's a 2-3 second delay between swiping and the page moving. Same thing for clicking on UI elements (form buttons, checkboxes, etc). I hope this is something they can optimize...
That's a function of available memory, not the CPU. They can probably patch that to use the internal HD for swap file memory.
Lemme put it this way: the CPU processes the web page into memory, and memory displays it on the screen for you to interact with. If the page is slow AFTER it has been loaded, then it's a memory problem. That's a little simplistic, but it'll do for an explaination.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas --- Texas A&M head football coach Kevin Sumlin came a step closer to completing his coaching staff on Monday as he announced the addition of former Boise State player and coach Marcel Yates.
Yates will serve as Co-Defensive Coordinator and oversee the defensive secondary for Texas A&M as the Aggies gear up for the challenge of their first season in the Southeastern Conference.
"Marcel is another terrific recruiter who has a proven record in developing the young men he coaches," Sumlin said. "He has done a great job at Boise State and will be an excellent addition to our staff here at Texas A&M."
Yates comes to A&M from Boise State where he coached the defensive backs for nine seasons, first under Dan Hawkins and later under Chris Peterson. Yates was a part of eight Bronco squads that posted double-digit victory totals, including a pair of undefeated teams that won BCS bowl games in 2006 and 2009.
Yates directed the entire secondary for the last six seasons, and added defensive passing game coordinator to his coaching responsibilities in 2011. He coached cornerbacks during his first three seasons with the Broncos.
A native of Los Angeles, Calif., Yates was a standout player at BSU from 1996-99. Lining up at defensive back, Yates finished his career with 138 tackles (89 solo). Following his senior season in 1999, he received the team's Dennis Erickson Valor Award. He helped the Broncos to their first-ever FBS bowl game, a 34-31 win over Louisville in the 1999 Humanitarian Bowl. He earned his bachelor's degree in social science/public affairs in 2000.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 - Dec. 21
The good fortune you're about to receive may come through an organization or a group of like-minded acquaintances. Perhaps via your guardian angel as well. Because your Jupiter ruler is part of the beneficial Grand Trine aspect in effect this week, consider yourself wrapped in the protective arms of your sponsor, partner and family members. Maybe the crazy landlady, too. You'll probably be asked to offer more support in return, but since your sense of imminent disaster seems to have disappeared for the moment, reciprocating shouldn't be a problem.
Capricorn: Dec. 22 - Jan. 20
After Venus pulls out of the emotional Piscean abyss and enters spirited Aries on the 3rd, relations with neighbors, siblings and web-pals should brighten considerably. And when the goddess favors your Saturn ruler the weekend of the 7th, they may even live up to your high standards. Artists get to mesh their abilities with their aesthetic sense, lovers find stability where there were doubts and satisfied shoppers acquire what they didn't know they longed for. Despite a family member's complaint, it's a win-win situation for Caps.
Aquarius: Jan. 21 - Feb. 18
This week you might feel conflicted between what you need to accomplish at work and a promise you made to the family. No matter how the opposition between growth-oriented Jupiter in your career zone and the productive Taurus sun plays out, the resolution can be more expensive than you anticipated. But not to worry; since your Uranus ruler is favored by protective and prosperous Jupiter, both personally and career-wise, you should make out okay. However, you'll probably have to convince your partner to be patient for a while longer.
Keep focused on your own future and you'll be better able to navigate the winds of change the rest of society is being buffeted by. Because erratic Uranus in your sign is doubly blessed by both Jupiter in Scorpio and Mars in Cancer, that ornery independent streak of yours could be your most valuable asset. Not forever, but for this week. If there's a new product or process you've been thinking about, now would be a good time to bring it forth. Jupiter can provide access to investment money, Mars the motivation and energy to take your project to completion.

If you feel pressure back by your rear, that's not braxton hicks.┬Ā Start timing it if you're able.┬Ā What kind of "uncomfortable" are you?┬Ā You might have a ton of poop in there and LO might be kicking it (it happens) and you're feeling that.┬Ā I went in once during my 2nd pregnancy and I thought baby had dropped and I was contracting but the nurse felt around and said, "oh man, you are SO constipated".┬Ā I had pooped that morning, but apparently I was pretty backed up.┬Ā
If you're in pain, however, that's not good.┬Ā I'd be safe and call your doc to get their input.
EJ 04-11-09 * AL01-02-12 * Austin Thomas Expected: 06-05-15
Thanks for the feedback girls. ┬ĀYou've made me feel much better. ┬ĀI am just chilling out and drinking a lot of water and resting. ┬ĀIt is great to have a network of support. ┬ĀI called my doctor and he was glad I did. ┬ĀHe is so great he is going to call me again in about 2 hours to see how I am doing.
I had a feeling like that one day while i was in L&D and it turned out to be contractions. I of course cried. If your belly is hard and gets a funny shape when you have that feeling go to L&D

KAT route reductions denied; advertising to make a return
Effective Aug. 18:
- Increasing the fare for football shuttles
- Re-introducing transit advertising - on buses, benches and shelters
- Increasing the charter rate from $70 per hour to $100 per hour
Source: Knoxville Area Transit
For the suburbanites who ride Knoxville Area Transit buses by choice and people with disabilities who ride out of necessity, Thursday brought good news.
The Knoxville Transportation Authority voted to deny the KAT staff's recommendation that the Halls and Farragut express routes be cut and that the paratransit LIFT service be provided only within three-fourths of a mile of current routes - the federal requirement - instead of citywide.
The unanimous vote came after nearly three hours of discussion and emotional appeals by several dozen riders to maintain the current routes.
"I don't think we have done everything we can," authority member Art Carmichael said shortly before the vote. "Just cutting routes is not the message we want to send."
While rising gas prices have brought increased ridership, they have also brought higher operating expenses for KAT. As a result, the public transportation authority has tried to figure out ways to meet budget shortfalls that likely will total hundreds of thousands of dollars this fiscal year.
Board member John Sibley suggested that appeals for more funding be made to the city of Knoxville, Knox County, the town of Farragut and even corporations.
The board did approve three other, less-controversial suggestions to help meet shortfalls, including increasing the fare for University of Tennessee football game shuttle trips, increasing the hourly rate to charter a KAT bus from $70 to $100, and re-introducing advertising on buses and at bus stops.
The fare for football shuttles would be increased from $4 to $5 at the Civic Coliseum parking garage and from $10 to $15 at Farragut High School.
Recommendations to cut or reduce other routes - including those to the University Heights and Gateway at Knoxville apartments - were withdrawn by the KAT staff before the meeting, as were recommendations to discontinue the late line trolley service and all Sunday transit service.
Chairman Don Sproles said the apartment routes would be funded by private partners.
During the public input period before the votes, Halls express rider Richard Herzog said that about a dozen riders on that route help support downtown businesses and help improve the air quality in Knoxville.
"Once that route is gone, it will be difficult to get back," he said.
Farragut express rider Mark Calvert said he has been riding the KAT bus for seven years and that people come from other parts of Knox County to ride that shuttle.
"We have at least 60 fewer cars polluting the air," he added.
Several people with disabilities and advocates for them said that shortening the LIFT routes would be almost devastating.
"Please don't cut the KAT LIFT. It is my transportation to work," Ramona Garrett said.
KAT executive director Cindy McGinnis called the discussion an encouraging debate.
"It has been a very transitional year for us," she said.

The ignition switch may fail causing a no start condition. This is not generally a theft system (passlock) issue because the security light does not illuminate or flash.
2006 Chevrolet Malibu Problem Reports
RepairPal Verified 2006 Chevrolet Malibu Problem Reports
The ignition module or an ignition coil may fail causing the engine to misfire which can cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate or begin flashing.
The ignition module or an ignition coil may fail causing the engine to misfire which can cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate or begin flashing.
The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Our technicians tell us that operating the engine with a coolant/oil mix can result in internal engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct these leaks.
The fuel gauge may not read correctly and/or the Check Engine Light may illuminate with code P0455/P0461 stored for a fuel level sensor issue. These faults may be caused by a fuel vapor line inside the fuel take interfering with the fuel level sensor. If this is found to be the case, repositioned and securing the vapor line should correct this concern. If no fault is found with the fuel vapor line, the fuel level sensor itself may be at fault.
Illumination of the Check Engine Light can be caused by a loose or worn gas cap.
The instrument panel and switch backlighting may fail due to a faulty dimmer control module. A failed module will require replacement.
The automatic transmission shifter may fail causing the ignition key to become stuck in the ignition lock cylinder.
The passlock sensor in the ignition lock cylinder may fail causing an anti-theft system fault and a no start condition. Our technicians tell us that the ignition lock cylinder should be replace to correct this condition.
Various issues with the electric power steering system may develop and could require replacement of steering column assembly.

That's the sort of loud Reliant Stadium that I've missed and I love. Early arriving crowd. Had much to cheer about. The spontaneous U-S-A, U-S-A chant after 9-11 playing of Taps and moment of silence. Wish you could all be there in person. Got my wish of a stomping of the Colts. Some people will […] [Read More]

Senators introduce alternative cybersecurity bill
Thursday - 3/1/2012, 7:57am EST
Eight senators today are introducing an alternative version of a comprehensive cybersecurity bill. The lawmakers, including Senators John McCain. (R-Ariz.), Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), and Dan Coats (R-Ind.) believe the legislation, called the Strengthening and Enhancing Cybersecurity by Using Research, Education, Information, and Technology Act, or SECURE IT, would be more collaborative and less regulatory than a bill introduced in February.
The sponsors of that bill, Sens. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) and Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.), wrote a letter yesterday to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) urging them to bring the Cybersecurity Act of 2012 to the floor for debate as soon as possible.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
An English-language film that employs British and North American actors in the leading roles and Hungarians to play everyone else, Sunshine is, for its first 30 minutes, a heavy Euro-pudding, overwhelmed by generic TV lighting and theme park costumes. But it slowly gathers force as the succeeding generations of Sonnenscheins attempt to assimilate into Hungarian society by denying their Jewish identity. Advised by his mentor that no one named Sonnenschein could be appointed to the high court, Ignatz, his brother, and his cousin change their name to Sors. Ignatz's son Adam, who aspires to be on the Olympic fencing team, takes the next step and converts to Catholicism. He wins the gold medal in the infamous Berlin Olympics of 1936, but it doesn't save him from being sent to a concentration camp, where he's tortured and killed. To avenge him, Adam's son Ivan joins the Communist secret police. Ivan thrives on ferreting out Nazi collaborators, but he's forced to reconsider his options when he's asked to investigate his boss as a suspected Zionist conspirator.
Szabó is an intelligent and capable filmmaker, but despite Sunshine's historical scope and multiplicity of characters, it doesn't shed half as much light on its subjectidentity and anti-Semitismas does, for example, Agnieszka Holland's claustrophobic chamber piece Angry Harvest. As the three Sonnenscheins, Ralph Fiennes is most alive when he's angry, which isn't often enough.
The Children of Chabannes
Directed by Lisa Gossels and Dean Wetherell
A Perennial release Opens June 9
Pop & Me
Directed by Chris Roe
A Seventh Art release Opens June 9
The women in the cast fare better than the men, in particular Deborah Kara Unger and Rosemary Harris. Unger, almost unrecognizable coiffed in a late-'40s blond pageboy, plays the wife of a Communist Party thug who has an affair with Ivan but refuses to give up the security of her marriage for a loose cannon. Unger's trademark narcissistic sexuality is mixed here with a powerful paranoia. Szabó uses the character to show the paralytic effect of living in a police state, and Unger's panicky sideways glances and evasive body language make the point more indelibly than any of the film's big speeches. Harris has the far more crucial role as Valerie, Adam's mother and Ivan's grandmother, who's an accomplished photographer. Valerie survives into old age with grace and equanimity because, as she explains, she hasn't much use for politics or religion and always looks for the beauty in life. Szabó puts Valerie on a pedestal, and he's lucky to have Harris to bring her down to earth.
The Children of Chabannes is a more modest but also more informative and moving film about the situation of European Jews during the Nazi period. Lisa Gossels and Dean Wetherell's documentary uses extensive interview and archival material to depict how the people of Chabannes, a small, relatively isolated agricultural village, resisted the Vichy government, sheltering 400 Jewish children during the war and keeping all but six of them from being deported to the camps. (Among the saved children was Peter Gossels, Lisa's father.)
While most of the French communities credited with saving Jews were strongly religious (either Catholic or Protestant), Chabannes was not. Its citizens viewed themselves as "true Republicans," believers in freedom and the brotherhood of men, inheritors of the spirit of the French Revolution. In the face of massive evidence of French collaboration and anti-Semitism, The Children of Chabannes, among other things, restores the belief that the romance of a France still committed to its revolutionary ideals does in fact exist.
Gossels conceived the film when she accompanied her father to the 1996 reunion of the villagers with the children they had saved. In Chabannes, a remarkable cast of characters presented itself, including many of the teachers whose ingenuity, dedication, and courage insured the survival of the refugees, who were integrated into the village school until the Vichy government started rounding up children for deportation in 1942. George Loinger, a Jewish engineer turned gym teacher, trained the children's bodies so that they could endure the possible hard times ahead; the Paillassou sisters demanded that their German- and Polish-speaking students learn perfect French so they'd be easier to hide. Both teachers and pupils pay tribute to Felix Chevrier, the principal of the school, who defied the authorities on many occasions, risking his own life. Chevrier, who was already in his late fifties during the war, died in 1962, but he left an archive of the children's drawings and compositions in addition to his own journals. Chevrier and the Paillassou sisters managed to find sympathizers in the police and the Vichy government who would warn them when there was going to be a roundup. The police would arrive, find no one in the school, and accuse Chevrier of hiding the children. His response: "I don't know where they are. They can go wherever they want. They're free."

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx

At the 31st Street Pub, in the set-apart Strip district, shriveled skulls and other curiosities grinned from behind the bar. Good beers cost two bucks, and the square footage was several times what the same ambience gave you in Manhattanenough room to be all over the place. We'd missed the waitress-mom who'd surprised Vargo with her borderline Marianne Faithfull intensity. But Naked Omaha, from Philadelphia, were what we'd hoped for: three-part yodels, extraneous power chords, a crew-cut guitarist who gibbered between songs, and two studious bearded guys weeping "Man I feel like shit." But wait, everyone said, for the Drive-by Truckers, who'll really blow you away.
There wouldn't be a story if they hadn't, but that doesn't mean I'm lying. Borderline Springsteen intensity. They tore it up, with lyrics that converted on first listen and even better stories attached. Like after the singer's dad left, his mom lived off child support until the kids grew up. In debt, a '50s housewife in her own fifties, she took what Alabama offeredoffice work at a trucking company. But the scariest trucker, Chester, kept violating code; she'd have to screw up her courage and bust him. Finally, she exploded, and Chester confessed he was doing it to be near herhe'd fallen in love. They got married at Dollywood, and this was written for the wedding; it's called "18 Wheels of Love." Slobberingly catchy, too, launched with a buckshot bellow: "Mama ran off with a trucker, paid her bills . . . "
Singer Patterson Hood is the son of David Hood, bassist for the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. (We'd listened to Bob Seger's Night Moves on the drive down, an album Pops appears on.) Patterson and Truckers guitarist Mike Cooley spent 1985-91 in Adam's House Cat, waiting for a record label that never delivered. Relocating from Memphis to Athens, they added twang and a new repertoire, deciding this time they'd go it alone. Last year, they self-released Gangstabilly; this year's CD is called Pizza Deliverance. The album covers are as gauche as the titles, shoving the band's redneck loyalties in your face. They talk of writing a concept album about the enduring appeal of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Perhaps they're too punk for their own good. The debut single, redone for the newest album, was "Bulldozers and Dirt," about a 16-year-old who winds up with a single mom and her tot after trying to steal their TV, stays 11 blistering years, then finds himself hankering for the tot. Plus "Nine Bullets," a singalong: "My roommate's gun got nine bullets in it . . . Gonna find a use for every last one." Try getting airplay with that. But they're punks with a homey streak: "The Night G.G. Allin Came to Town" isn't a salute to the shit-rocker, but an account of watching "the old man at Ferguson's Cafe" read about him in the Memphis Star. "Margo and Harold" sketches out Hood and his wife's unnerving friendship with a couple of older sexual swingers.
The music is in the same spirit, lurching sloppy and quick into trouble but arranged with forethought, acoustic filaments enhancing the sense of detail. Hood has enough rasp to sway anyone who feels Steve Earle and Paul Westerberghe's brusque, bruised, and amused. Cooley's numbers are folksier in sound and topic: "Uncle Frank" invents an illiterate ruined when the TVA flooded the Muscle Shoals hollow, promising auto-plant jobs that stayed in Detroit. Money would have helped the production, but there's bonus pleasure in finding one's own way into these songs, guided a bit by Hood's liner notes, an echo of his stage patter.
It's another world here, not terribly far away maybe but a chance to breathe different air. Hood and Cooley found "Buttholesville" a jerkwater to grow up in, but as storytellers they've long since realized how lucky they were to live a mix of hobo and boho. Grandma telling you spiders will bite your dick in the outhouse; AM-radio Christians; the founder of Bubbapalooza fighting AIDS with attitude; Dad's friends swapping stories about Eddie Hinton. The roots stuff I hate strains to honor a codified genre. The Drive-by Truckers just look around and can't believe how much there is to sing about.

Just getting to the starting line was a test of fortitude for competitors in Muskoka's first paintball biathlon.
On Saturday, competitors found themselves braving high winds and heavy snowfall as they made their way to the event at Bondi Village Resort in Dwight. A joint effort between the resort, Algonquin Outfitters and Bracebridge's Back Country Paintball, it was the first time the sport was played in a competition in Muskoka.
Although Environment Canada had warned of severe weather the day before, it didn't stop 15 competitors from hitting the track.
"The course at Bondi Village Resort received nearly 25 centimetres of snow and gale-force winds, and still many competitors braved the bad driving conditions and tough winter conditions to try this new sport," said Back Country Paintball owner Tony Armstrong.
"The day was a success, proving that Muskoka is ready for this new sport of paintball biathlon, even in the toughest winter conditions."
Armstrong was inspired to bring the sport to Muskoka after viewing videos of paintball biathlons on YouTube. As an experiment, he launched a trial event at Santa's Village in December, which drew over 100 participants.
Unlike traditional biathlons, Armstrong has said that paintball biathlons typically have lower startup costs as no special permits are required for competitors. The lack of red tape also makes the sport accessible to younger athletes.
Though a higher turnout was originally expected, event organizers came up with a special prize to honour the competitor with the toughest commute to the starting line.
"The most dedicated award goes to Sherrie Pilger, who drove from Gravenhurst through a blinding snowstorm to be a competitor in the event, and (later) placed fifth in the adult division," said Armstrong.
In her drive up to Dwight, Armstrong said Pilger got lost in the snowstorm and ended up getting her vehicle stuck. She eventually found her way to the event with the help of passing snowmobilers.
Competitors in the event were grouped into categories according to their age.
In the youngest age category, first place went to eight-year-old Hilda Chan, who navigated the course alongside her father. Dalton Boothby won the age 10 and up category, while David Tapley placed first in the adult division.
In the aftermath of the event, Armstrong said he is hoping to make an even bigger splash with the sport next winter.
"Definitely next year my dream would be to have a whole series," he said.

SALEM: The Veerahanur Ponnaliyamman Anaicut Beneficiaries Welfare Federation has appealed to the district administration to take steps to implement a proposal for forming a new reservoir at the foothills of Pachamalai without any changes to it.
The proposal was aimed at providing direct irrigation facility to 481 acres. In addition to this, about 4,000 acres would benefit from the groundwater, which would get recharged due to the storage in the new reservoir. About 20,000 farmers in 14 villages including Veerahanur, Thedavur, Vellaiyur, Pagadapadi, Thittacheri, K. Rajapalayam, Udumbiyam and Lathuvadi would benefit, if the proposal was implemented. Further, the administration could supply drinking water to more than 50,000 persons from the reservoir, a petition submitted by the federation to the district administration said.
The farmers and residents in the area were willing to provide the required land to the government for the construction of the reservoir and channels. The officials of Revenue and Public Works Departments had inspected the site selected for the construction of reservoir on several occasions. But the proposal was yet to take off, the federation said.
Meanwhile, the federation said, the district administration had reportedly modified the proposal and was trying to construct the reservoir in the forest area. Urging the administration to drop the move, the federation appealed to the Collector to implement the proposal.
