2003 Land Rover Range Rover Overview

Based on 6 reviews
The Range Rover was completely redesigned for 2003. This overhaul marked the beginning of the upscale SUV's third generation, even though this was the 34th year of production. Almost everything is new, as Land Rover has put greater emphasis on ride quality and user friendliness.
Only one style is offered: the HSE. The interior has been completely redesigned for additional space and a more luxurious environment. Yet, some traditional Land Rover styling cues remain. Skid plates, Xenon headlights, descent control, stability control, 19-inch wheels, three-zone climate control (front and rear), and power retractable side mirrors are all new features this year. Amenities include leather upholstery, a harmon/kardon audio system, CD changer, a navigation system (with off-road mapping), walnut trim, a moon roof, keyless entry, heated mirrors and an anti-theft system.
Although Land Rover is now owned by Ford, this new third generation model was developed while the British marque was under BMW's control. The German automaker supplied the new engine, which replaced an antiquated 4.6 liter V-8. The new 4.4 liter V-8 offers a significant power upgrade, with 282 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. Range Rover's towing capacity jumped from 6500 to 7700 pounds with this addition, and fuel economy also improved slightly, up from 12/15 to 12/17 mpg. The BMW-engineered V-8 is paired with a five-speed automatic, also new this year.
BMW engineering is also evidence in the new Range Rover's improved ride quality. Previous design elements like solid axle suspension and body-on-frame construction were discontinued. The new model gets uni-body construction and four-wheel independent suspension. The height-adjustable air suspension system returns, allowing drivers nearly 11 inches of ground clearance.
The new Range Rover has been well-reviewed with ride and interior quality listed as two common favorite features. Mechanical issues and reliability complaints have reduced dramatically since 2002, but some electrical problems have been reported. Many deal with the navigation system, which seemed to be more reliable off-road than on the streets. The Range Rover offers the same luxury and off-road capability as always, but now with a more inviting interior, improved build quality, an a noticeably refined feel. "Enjoyable to drive" has become a common accolade in 2003. Few would made such claim before.

1997 Ford F-150
I have a 97 F150 when I start it, it will not go into gear. Also the brake lights do not work and the ABS light is constantly blinking. I'm pretty sure all these things are related but I'm not sure how. What I do no is that the number 13 fuse is blown and when I replace it all the problems will go away for about 15 minutes and then the fuse will blow again and all the problems will come back. I've replaced the brake light switch and it didn't help does anyone have anymore suggestions?

It sounds like you have a short somewhere in the wiring that is making the fuse blow. You need to trace the short because it is just going to keep blowing the fuse.

Cool! Thanks for the heads up!
Anyway, I wonder how long the site is around the web?

Now lets take a look at the Pizza delivery man. Looks like he sure got his 15 min

When I started my blog I had dream to put up great info on celebrities. Only one downfall I live in the midwest not in Hollywood so not much happens out my front window. What was I expecting, news to happen? Well it didn't, so the best I could do was to hunt other sites and and then tell my own story.
Great, but sometimes I wasted a lot of time on research of stuff just finding the article I wanted to post. I had No time leftover for promoting the site building links and so on...Then I discovered Google Trends after that I got on Twitter and watched what was trending.
Look at what is trending and write on that subject. A few times I got lucky. One time I was listed 2nd on page one of Google with in minutes of a trending tropic and for a few days the site was seeing 10,000's upon 10,000 of UV That lasted just a few days and you must start the process all over again. With good site layout people will click on other pages of your site and hopefully come back again and again.
People having a site/blog and earning a living with that is not a part time on weekends hobby. It is a full time commitment. I wish it would be like Field of Dreams "Build it and they will come." Lots of sites out there think this way. All I need is a site. Build it and then see mass numbers of people. Let me say this, it takes work.
Rant Over: Now back on topic.
Following Trends - I just found a site that can help you with things that are trending and this site covers a huge amount of trending topics.
If you are just starting. Use the Free area
Now Trending on TrendSpottr
or you can sign up for a free trail or a paid area when the big bucks start rolling in for you.
Now how I got lucky is write on something that is trending upwards but hunt for your own angle on the subject. Believe me people it will work.
"So strike while the iron is hot." and "Make hay when the sun shines." Boy I really love quotes don't I

Anyway, I wonder how long the site is around the web?
Whoa! looks like I can get plenty of new topics from Google trends.
You may get ideas for the latest trends, but chances are you will not be knowledgeable or an existing enthusiast in that area. So if you jump on the HOT topic, you will be a scammer, shyster or whatever phrase best fits.
Better stick to what you know 10% better than most people and post about what you love and what you are competent at IMO.

In addition to what Andy said, hot topics do not necessarily drive traffic, especially if 10,000 other people are writing about the same topic. It is always better to try to write the most informative article on the web related to a specific niche topic.
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." -- Benjamin Franklin
True what has been said.
Stay away from hot trends.
Because what is hot today, is colder than ice tomorrow.

Community hospital axed following talks
Posted: May 28, 2014|
HEALTH chiefs have revealed that a community hospital will close.
West Leicestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) confirmed to the Mail that Ashby and District hospital will be axed and health services instead delivered in the community and in people's homes.
The decision was made on the back of a public consultation which highlighted that the site, home to 16 rehabilitation, palliative and respite care beds, a therapy facility and a number of clinics, costs £1.8 million a year to run and would need a further £900,000 spent on the building to pay for much-needed repairs.
Rachel Bilsborough, divisional director of community health services at Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust (LPT), said: "Work will begin immediately on developing plans for more modern, co-ordinated health services that will allow a growing number of patients to be treated in their own homes, or to leave hospital earlier.
"A new night assessment service is already being set up to help avoid unnecessary emergency hospital admissions.
"Both ourselves and the CCG would like to reassure people that closure will not take place until the 16 in-patient beds have been phased out and outpatient services and teams have moved to suitable alternative local accommodation."
Dr Nick Willmott, GP and clinical lead during the consultation for the CCG, said: "It is vital that we always involve patients and the public in the development of local health services, and, on behalf of the CCG and LPT, I would like to thank the people of Ashby for their invaluable input during the consultation.
"We will continue to inform and engage with the community as we start work on the next stage of this process."
North West Leicestershire MP Andrew Bridgen said: "People don't want to go to hospitals, they want care closer to home and the money would be much better spent providing what people want. I want to spend money on health care."

A day in the life (with a 2.5 year old and a 2 month old)
I love these posts, and I haven't done one since having Hadley. Life is unpredictable right now because she's so young and not in a routine yet. Still, I thought it would be fun to jot down how our days are like now so I remember it in the future.
12:40 a.m. – I hear Wyatt's bedroom door open so I jump out of bed and sprint to meet him before he gets to our room. The last thing I want him to do is wake up Hadley. I tuck him in and tell him to stay in his room until it's light out.
4:10 a.m. – an exact repeat of what happened just a few hours ago.
5:00 a.m. on the nose – Hadley lets out a scream. I heard her stirring for a few minutes, so I get up, change her, and realize her diaper leaked through her pajamas and swaddle. I change her while Jeff changes her pack 'n' play sheet. I nurse her and put her back down. The whole process – even with the outfit change – lasts 12 minutes.
5:26 a.m. – my alarm is set to go off in 4 minutes and I never fell back to sleep, so I get up and go pump. When Hadley started sleeping really well a few weeks ago, I decided to start pumping every morning instead of letting my supply even out. I pump 8-10 ounces in the morning and half goes to Wyatt and the other half goes in a bottle in case Hadley gets hungry while I'm gone. She rarely does so we're building up quite the freezer stash.
I brush my teeth, change into my workout clothes, gather dirty laundry and pump parts, and head downstairs. I throw the laundry in the machine, freeze the breastmilk from the day before, wash pump parts, and spend a few minutes picking up the living room because I realize I never did last night – oops! I eat a half of banana, add some ice and milk to my iced coffee, and am in my car by 6:10 a.m.
6:30- 7:15 a.m. – spin class.
7:30 a.m. – walk in the door and immediately transfer the laundry from the washer to dryer. As soon as I walk into the kitchen, I'm attacked by a happy Wyatt – Jeff said he woke up around 6:15. I get both of our breakfasts ready – frozen waffles with peanut butter and banana for both of us – while Jeff goes upstairs to get a crying Hadley who is waking up.
In the next hour I eat, nurse Hadley, take a shower, get both kids dressed, make sure my bag has enough diapers, wipes, and snacks, load and turn on the dishwasher.
And try to capture baby smiles.
8:30 a.m. – head out the door to go to Jeff's office for laser therapy on my foot. I take Hadley in my car, Jeff takes Wyatt. I thought she'd pass out so I'd have some peace and quiet in the car, but nope! This week has been pretty rough for her – it's by far her crankiest yet.
9:10 a.m. – get adjusted and get laser therapy. I change and nurse Hadley before heading out. I'm thrilled she eats a lot because I don't want to feed her during our morning activity. I'm OK nursing in public when it's somewhere Wyatt can't run away from me. This morning we're going to the Charlotte Nature Museum, though, and he can easily get lost.
10:00 a.m. – arrive at the Nature Museum. Put Hadley in the K'tan and she quickly falls asleep (wohoo!). I try to explain to the crazy toddler that he can't run away from me. He doesn't listen.
Regardless, we have a fun morning with our friends!
Who recognized these sweet girls?
11:30 a.m. – time to leave if I want to make it home without risking a car nap. Hadley slept the whole time at the museum, but she wakes up when I take her out the K'tan. I change her and nurse her in the trunk of my car with Wyatt sitting next to me chowing down on raisins.
11:45 a.m. -- We head home and Hadley screams the entire way. How do I have the only two babies in the world who hate the car? During the car ride I also learned that Wyatt knows the chorus to "Fancy" which is hysterical. Then I realized I probably need to start censoring my music choices when he's around.
12:15 p.m. – arrive home and immediately change and feed the crank, hoping it was one of those things making her so unhappy. Nope. She has a major spit up episode and both her and I need new outfits. I plop her in the bouncy seat, still screaming, and make sandwiches for Wyatt and I – turkey for me, grilled cheese for him. I also throw some veggie stock and quinoa in a pot and spend a whole two minutes chopping veggies for dinner tonight. That's called cooking these days.
12:45 p.m. – I turn on Mickey for Wyatt, while I pace for 20 minutes trying to calm Hadley down.
1:10 p.m. – I change Wyatt's diaper and outfit, and read him a book. Mind you, Hadley is still screaming so he kicks me out of his room before we can even finish Llama Llama Red Pajama. Sorry, bud!
1:20 p.m. – I swaddle Hadley and nurse her. I know she's probably not hungry, but I know she'll be more likely to take a pack 'n' play nap if I let her nurse to sleep. She's successfully taken pack 'n' play naps 3/4 days this week – last week, she took 0 naps in the crib in 5 attempts so I think she prefers the pack 'n' play. It is my goal in life to get their afternoon naps synched!
1:28 p.m. – I put Hadley down and hear Wyatt's door open. He needs a new diaper. I change him and he goes to sleep.
1:30 p.m. – go time! I open my computer, respond to emails, and brainstorm article ideas for next week. Hadley sleeps well so I have time to unload the dishwasher and clean up the kitchen from lunch, too!
2:20 p.m. – I hear that Hadley is up. I try to ignore her and hope that she settles back to sleep on her own. But she doesn't. That's OK – a 50 minute crib nap at 2 months is pretty amazing, so I'll take it!
I nurse Hadley and spend the rest of the time until Wyatt wakes up trying to keep her happy. I sing, walk, dance, and play with her on her activity mat, etc. Things were going well until I attempted tummy time. I should have known better!
3:40 p.m. – Wyatt is up! I'm very happy with today's nap after yesterday's 40 minute one! I make us a snack to share – Greek yogurt, blueberries, and almonds – and turn on Little Einsteins.
Then I have a talk with Wyatt. We have his friend's birthday pool party tonight at 5:30. I have to take both kids to the pool alone in 97 degree weather. I'm going to have to get in the pool with Wyatt, and hope Hadley stays happy in her carseat in the shade. I'm really nervous about this. I'm scared she'll have a meltdown and I'll need to leave him alone in the water (he'll be wearing a lifejacket, there are lifeguards, and he's been in swim lessons for over a year, but still… he's two!) and I'm scared that she'll literally melt from the heat. But it's one of those things that I'll never know how it will pan out unless I try! So, I talk to Wyatt about how important it is that he listens to me tonight.
4:00 p.m. -- I try to get Hadley in sleep mode again. I'm try to be strict about only keeping her awake 1-2 hours at a time. I nurse her and she passes out, but she's not settled so I let her lay on me for a bit. I turn on Mickey for Wyatt because he's whiny, and because we watch a lot of TV now that Hadley is around. #momoftheyear
After a few minutes, I put her down on her Boppy newborn lounger in the living room. Then I find our swimsuits and pack our bag for the party. I try to fold the laundry that's been sitting in the dryer all day, but Wyatt is a little too eager to "help". Our neighbors – Wyatt's BFF who is moving in a few weeks waaah – stop over for a bit and I chat while Wyatt plays.
5:00 p.m. – Hadley wakes up, we say bye to our friends, I nurse her, put his bathing suit on, and put mine on.
5:30 p.m. – We get to the pool and it's clouded over and there's a nice breeze. I keep Hadley in her carseat where she's happy looking around and I sit on the edge of the pool while Wyatt plays. For the next 1.5 hours, she's happy being in and out of her carseat and he listens to me somewhat well. My friends lend me a hand when I need it. He even eats a bit of pizza! The evening goes better than expected, and I make a mental note to brave the pool alone with them again the next time it's cloudy and cooler.
Then, after I dry off and change Wyatt, he takes off into the grass and steps in a red ant pile. Figures!
7:15 p.m. – get home and immediately give Wyatt some Benadryl. He's calmed down a lot but there are about a dozen bites on his feet. Poor guy! I nurse Hadley.
7:40 p.m. – bath time for Wyatt. I put Hadley in her swing outside the bathroom while he brushes his teeth. She screams the entire time I give him his bath, but I don't know what else I'm supposed to do. I get him out of the bath and get him dressed, then take her out of the swing. I try to calm her down while I read to him, but he starts getting upset. Another story time fail for the day. Sigh. Luckily he's out a few minutes after 8 p.m.
I get changed and get Hadley dressed for bed. We go downstairs and I eat the quinoa salad standing up while swaying back and forth with her.
8:15 p.m. – Jeff gets home. I tell him I have things under control, so he goes on the bike trainer. I nurse Hadley, she falls asleep, and I put her in the Boppy again – I really should start putting her down upstairs, but I'm too lazy tonight.
8:30 p.m. – I eat too many pretzel M&Ms and write most of this post – I'll finish the rest of it in the morning.
9:15 p.m. – I fold laundry, pick up the living room, load the dishwasher, brew coffee and put it in the fridge, gather bottles and pump parts and head upstairs. I lay out my running gear for the morning, get ready for bed, and set my alarm for 5:30 a.m.
9:50 p.m. – I call down to Jeff and he brings up Hadley. He changes her diaper and swaddles her. She stays asleep tonight so I don't nurse her again. I thank God that tomorrow is Friday and pray that Wyatt sleeps all night. Kind of odd that I trust the 2 month old will sleep better than the 2 year old, but that's been the case lately. I fall asleep the minute my head hits the pillow.
Two months in (the second time)
Hadley is two months old today! She is still such a good baby (thank you God), and I am so happy to be her mom. If you smile at her, she'll smile back at you – at any time! It doesn't matter if it's 4 a.m. or if she's mid-cry, she'll crack a smile if you look at her. This girl loves attention.
I'm feeling really good and more like my former, non-pregnant self every day. The only time I remember I "just" (how much longer can I use that qualifier?) had a baby is when I'm exercising and I feel some looser body parts jiggle. More on exercise and weight loss in my next post, though.
I had my 6-week checkup a couple of weeks ago, and I'm all healed. I was relieved to hear this because after Wyatt, I wasn't cleared for all activities until 10 weeks because I tore so badly.
The best news ever in the recovery department is that the swelling is gone! I'm so happy. It took 7 full weeks postpartum, but I can finally wear my wedding rings for the first time since January.
I feel like a jerk admitting this, but I'm not sleep deprived from Hadley (if this was someone else's 2.5 year update, he'd be getting blamed for the sleep deprivation. But that's another story…). I was more sleep deprived during pregnancy from insomnia than I am now. Hadley sleeps 7-8 hours overnight (I know, you can hate me), and when she wakes up it's just to eat for 10 minutes and she goes right back down for another couple of hours. It's amazing.
Happy, well-rested baby.
I know I have zero room to complain, but I still feel worn out at the end of each day. I think this is just a side effect of being a mom, though, and I don't expect to feel better any time soon. Hadley is not a good napper unless she's being held (not a complaint, just a fact. I'll take an overnight sleeper over a napper any day.), so I'm always with one of my kiddos all day long. Which is draining, and the reason I have no problem working out first thing in the morning – I need some "me" time!
This week I've been working on trying to get Hadley to nap in her crib in the afternoons, and we're trying to put her to bed earlier at night too (right now she doesn't go down until 9:30ish). So, once I can get her to nap not one me or go to bed before me, I'll probably feel a lot better because I'll get a break.
Nursing continues to be a rollercoaster. I shared about the hole in my nipple during my one month update. At my 6-week postpartum checkup, I was still in a lot of pain so I asked my midwife what to do. She told me the only way it'd probably heal was if I stopped breastfeeding. I spent the next week really debating what to do. I nursed Wyatt for 20 months and assumed I'd nurse Hadley long, too, but I really couldn't deal with the pain anymore.
Stopping breastfeeding is such a tough, emotional decision. I know all of the benefits of breastfeeding and felt an incredible bond when I nursed Wyatt. But with Hadley, nursing has always been a source of pain and frustration. And honestly, I feel like I don't need nursing to bond with her because she's such a happy baby. With Wyatt, the only time he was content was when he was on my boob, so it was a different situation.
Every time I nursed her, I felt like I was having an internal battle with myself. Keep nursing -- she's a chunk so something is working. The pain isn't worth it -- why put yourself through breastfeeding when there's an alternative? But I have a great supply – even enough to pump and give Wyatt, and his immune system can use a boost. Ahhh but the pain. Ahhh but formula is expensive.
Then last Monday, I woke up and my boob didn't hurt – and it hasn't since (the hole healed as an open wound – it's so lovely). But Hadley still hates that side because she got a blister on her lip from the hole, and will only nurse if I'm holding her like a football – which is getting hard to do because she's almost 13 lbs.
So, I'm still exclusively breastfeeding but our nursing struggles aren't over. This whole ordeal has made me look at breastfeeding in a different light. I always knew breast isn't best for everyone. But now I see that the pro-breastfeeding messaging is just making moms who supplement or formula-feed feel bad. It's really awful actually. And I know I've unintentionally contributed to this with things I've said in the past, so I feel like a bum.
Anyway, has anyone ever kept their supply in only one boob? Is that even possible? It's something I'm considering if Hadley keeps refusing that side – pumping from that side several times a day is not an option.
Being a mom of two
Wyatt is great with Hadley. He says the cutest things like "it's OK baby sister – no tears!" and "be patient Hadley, mommy is changing me first and then will change you." He tries to help me out with her and loves when he can grab a new diaper, put her swing music on, or "watch" her for me while I go into another room for a minute. He's such a sweet boy and I love him so much.
However, he's 2.5 and he drives me crazy a lot of days. I swear, on his worst days Hadley wants to be held constantly – it's like they're already ganging up on me! So, we definitely have some tough moments. But we have some great days, too, so I can't complain too much. At two months in, things are going better than expected.
I love you so much, baby girl!
7 weeks (this time)
My girl turned 7 weeks old yesterday!
(Insert typical mom "where has the time gone?" remark.)
Seven weeks is a big milestone in our household. It's when we realized Wyatt's behavior wasn't a typical. He'd already gotten the reflux and colic diagnoses, but 7 weeks is when his sleeping tanked and he started waking up every hour.
I wrote this post the day Wyatt turned 7 weeks old, and I just tried to re-read it but I couldn't make it through. My heart started racing, my palms got sweaty, and I felt pins and needles all over. I love my son more than anything, but I'm not quite ready to re-live those moments from his infancy.
I know I said I wouldn't compare my babies, but a lot* of people have asked if Hadley is a better sleeper than Wyatt. Overnight, she is the polar opposite of her brother (THANK GOD). I'm embarrassed to admit how long she sleeps at night because 90% of you will hate me. (She'll only nap on me during the day so that makes it even, right? No. Not at all.)
A (teeny tiny) part of me is grateful for everything we went through with Wyatt. It made me a more patient and understanding person, and perhaps the rough initiation to motherhood is exactly what my overly type A self needed. Plus, I'm glad that I had Wyatt first. If Hadley was the oldest, I would have thought her sleeping habits and overall demeanor were normal.
I would have thought all babies slept most of the night. I would have thought "fussy" = general evening crankiness accompanied by maybe 20 minutes of all out screaming. I would have thought a couple bouts of spit up in a day were "a lot", and assumed all babies were able to stay in the same outfit all day long. I would have thought babies could chill in bouncy seats and swings for a bit without pterodactyl screeching so moms could get some things around the house done.
I would have thought wrong. I know that all babies are not anywhere near this easy. So, you better believe that I count my lucky stars every day that Hadley is. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, but we're at 7 weeks now. I don't want to jinx it, but I'm starting to think that maybe she really is this good.
I stumbled upon an article again last week that I first read two years ago: Why it's Not "Just" Colic or Fussiness. It's so good that I just had to share it again. It's one of the only pieces that accurately illustrates what it's like to have a high-need baby. I wholeheartedly agree with all of the points the author makes.
The piece reignited a lot of old feelings and brought back some memories. I'm so thankful that the high-need experience is (hopefully) in the past for my family. It's crazy to think that my ridiculously happy toddler is the same kid who wouldn't crack a smile for days on end when he was an infant.
He's kind of a happy kid now.
Even if Hadley decides sleeping and smiling aren't fun anymore, I'll take heart in knowing that it's "just" a (very long and extremely difficult) phase. But for now, I'm so happy that my little girl is so happy – and well-rested!
And I'm thankful that her big brother loves her. He covered her and started reading to her!
So, that's where we are at 7 weeks. We definitely have some difficult moments, but overall Hadley is so sweet. She almost makes me want to have another baby. Almost…

Beyonce headlines London charity concert for women
LONDON (AP) — Beyonce and a few famous friends — including John Legend, Jennifer Lopez and Madonna — turned the home of English rugby into a fortress for women's rights at a star-studded charity concert.
Beyonce headlined a concert at Twickenham rugby stadium in London in support of Chime for Change, a campaign set up to help empower girls and women around the world.
The singer had the 50,000-strong crowd in a frenzy when she performed "Crazy In Love" — joined onstage by husband Jay-Z.
Earlier, Simon Le Bon performed with Timbaland, and J-Lo and Mary J. Blige sang The Beatles' "Come Together," as a raft of stars united for the Sound of Change Live show, which also featured John Legend, Florence + The Machine and Rita Ora.
Madonna, Freida Pinto, Aishwarya Rai, Jada Pinkett Smith, James Franco, Ryan Reynolds, Jessica Chastain and feminist icon Gloria Steinem were among the presenters. Even Prince Harry sent a videotaped message of support.
Beyonce is co-founder, with actress-producer Salma Hayek Pinault and Gucci creative director Frida Giannini, of the charity, which supports projects improving access to education, health care and justice for women.
Partner organizations include UNICEF, the Global Fund for Women and Plan International.
Giannini said she was grateful for Prince Harry's involvement, because "it's very important in projects like that, talking about women that some very strong male personalities are with us."
Hayek Pinault said Beyonce was the best possible ambassador for the cause.
"Do you know that everybody in her band is a girl?" she said. "I mean talk about woman power."

When you're a Karl Lagerfeld muse, a model-turned-award-winning-actress and get a Jason Wu bag named after you, you're probably somewhat of a fashion maverick. And German actress Diane Kruger definitely fits the bill, always dazzling on the red carpet, whether she's posing on the infamous red stairway at Cannes or dressing in her boho finest for Coachella with boyfriend Joshua Jackson by her side.
More often than not, Kruger sports daring looks: think newsboy caps, lady suits—with suspenders!—and hoop skirts. And did I mention she doesn't have a stylist? She just manages to pull off fashion risks all on her own. Le sigh.
In honor of the actress's 37th birthday today, click through the slideshow above to see 17 of her most daring fashion looks ever—all of which, frankly, only Kruger herself could pull off.

You know you've done something particularly stupid when you spawn a new hashtag, and that's exactly what happened when self-proclaimed terrorism expert Steve Emerson appeared on Fox News.

"Tragedy inexorably leads to madness."
It wasn't that long ago that we brought you the shocker story from Alabama that school officials there put a 5-year-old girl on suicide and homicide watch after she pointed her crayon at another student and made a small gun noise. Alabama schools want you to be sure that your kids are safe!
It's no secret President Obama is a sports-minded individual; video of him playing golf and basketball are ample proof. So from the moment the president enters the House chambers on January 20, he needs to talk tough, he needs to talk frank and he needs to talk sports.
It struck me as a good argument. We were talking about poetry. We were talking and laughing about poetry and irony, and the woman had silenced us because she found us offensive. Waves of meta-meanings momentarily paralyzed my brain. Was it too soon to laugh?
This was the year that someone finally found a way to use social media effectively by encouraging people to sacrifice a touch of dignity along with a bit of cash by dumping a bucket of ice cold water over their heads.
For more years than we care to count, you readers have helped us bet on what the big news stories of the next year will be. Sometimes, to our astonishment, we get something right.
As we prepare for the end of The Colbert Report, it is time to reflect on exactly what we are losing as Stephen Colbert retires his character and moves on to host The Late Show.
Who is serving on these grand juries? Can it be just a bizarre coincidence that every grand jury decides that no police officer ever did anything wrong? Or is something more insidious going on here?

On the front lines of the African climate change battle
'99.99% of antiques in the market are fake'
Ilham Rawoot | 24 Jan 2014 17:08 GMT | South Africa
Johannesburg, South Africa - It has been almost two years since 27-year-old Pinky Mosiane was raped and murdered hundreds of metres underground in an Anglo Platinum mineshaft in Marikana, South Africa.
A suspect in the Mosiane case was finally arrested three months ago. This was not the first time a woman mineworker had been raped underground in South Africa. But it was the first time that substantial attention was given to these women and the sexual harassment they are subjected to on a daily basis.
In August 2012, a mining town named Marikana, along the "Platinum Belt" in South Africa's North West province, made headlines around the globe. Thirty-four mineworkers employed by platinum miner Lonmin were killed when police opened fire during a strike over wages.
But the women of Lonmin have often remained unnoticed. "Anne", a miner employed by Lonmin in Marikana who asked that her real name not be used, has been working underground for three years fixing ventilation pipes. With her gold-painted nails and not a stray hair amid her tight braids, it is hard to imagine her labouring in overalls, covered in black dust.
"After [the end of the work day] at midday, we have to wait till 3:30pm in the waiting area for the lift to take us back to the surface," she says. "Some days, it was me alone with 12 men." She says there have been days where there have been five women left in the waiting area with as many as 65 men.
Because many mining companies either do not meet the 10 percent quota of female employees required by the South African Mining Charter, or stick to the minimum, there are often very few women on a shift with dozens of men. Just eight percent of Lonmin employees are women.
Few female miners
Sue Vey, a spokesperson for Lonmin, said that while the company has not met the 10 percent quota, it was planning "to achieve this milestone". Just over five percent of the company's female employees work underground. She says the mine does not consider the ratio of men to women allocated to a shift, instead appointing them based on the requirements of the roles.
There are only two toilets in the section... It's so far to walk and it's dark, dark, dark. Even if you scream, no-one is going to hear you.
- "Anne," female miner
"Eish, how many women were raped underground?" Anne asks rhetorically, shaking her head. She says that if a woman were to be raped, she would not report it to an authority figure, for fear of losing her job. "There are only two toilets in the section. One for men and one for women. For 70 workers. But it's so far to walk and it's dark, dark, dark. Even if you scream, no-one is going to hear you."
Tiny Magija, the coordinator of the Justice for Pinky Mosiane Campaign, says that while companies are aware of the issue of sexual abuse and harassment underground, they are not doing much about it.
"Research has shown that gender-based violence in mining is very rife," she says. "The quota has always been there, but it hasn't been implemented and no-one is voicing an opinion about it, till it's at the point where abuse is happening every day. Women in the mining industry are seen as sex objects."
She says a major part of the problem is that "the people in the positions of power are the same people oppressing women. Look at Pinky: The man arrested was an occupational health safety officer. The companies don't care about sexually based violence. If they did, then why is it taking them so long to actually do anything?"
When asked about complaints, Lonmin's Vey said there had been no reported cases of rape at the company, and that it had sexual harassment policies and procedures, and kept employees informed of what to do in such situations through extensive communication campaigns.
Claims of harassment
Gender-based abuse underground goes beyond the obviously violent, say female miners at the company, who claim they have to sell their bodies to climb the ranks, or to have their complaints taken seriously.
"If you want something at work, you have to love the supervisor or chibaas [chief boss] or the kaptein [captain]," said Anne. "It's hard to get a promotion, because guys take advantage - they just say 'love me'."
Alternatively, she says she could pay a bribe, also known as a "chocho", for as much as 5,000 South African rand ($470), to her captain. She says that she cannot talk to the staff in the human resources department as "they are all men".
Safety of all our employees is critical and therefore we take a dim view to any acts of harassment.
- Sue Vey, Lonmin spokesperson
"Connie", who also asked that her real name not be used, broke her leg while on shift underground at Lonmin in 2008, and has since left the company. But even then, said the 35-year-old, the problems were the same. When she applied for a job, she was asked for sex a few times, but refused. "Women are treated very unfairly in this job," she said. "If you want a better position, you have to bribe or sleep with the bosses, even the ones in HR. Women who won't do it, who try to stand their ground, get dismissed."
She said women are considered powerless by their male co-workers. "Lonmin has a budget for women, but their employees are trying to destroy our dignity. They just use us."
Vey said that "these are certainly very serious allegations. Safety of all our employees is critical and therefore we take a dim view to any acts of harassment". She said that the company had "human resources staff deployed across the business who are trained to assist employees with social and workplace issues" and an anonymous tip-off line that employees could use to report cases of harassment.
"We also have an extensive Employee Wellness Programme that could be used. We also have Women in Mining structures across the business, run by women."
But female miners say almost every aspect of their work involves some kind of harassment. In the lifts between the surface and the shaft, women are squashed between men's bodies; they are insulted for being less powerful physically.
'Part of underground culture'
Asanda Benya is a sociologist at the University of the Witwatersrand, who spent time working underground as part of her research.
"To a huge degree, harassment has been normalised, so that's one of the ways they deal with it - they accept it as part of underground culture. I think to some degree the companies are are aware of it, but not at the true scale. At the same time, they are in denial about it, or also see it as normal 'mining men' behaviour."
She said that while women do complain, "most times the HR officer is friends with the accused and the case is never really followed through, or women are told 'it's not harassment, they are appreciating you - that's how it is in mining'. At other times, the women are afraid to report [attacks] because they don't want to lose their jobs or be alienated by other workers."
Yet even considering the risks involved, the high unemployment rate for women in Marikana means that a job in the mines is something to aspire to.
"Women have no choice but to do this work," said Anne. "Life is difficult. Who can help you? I don't know. There is no-one to tell about my problems. And I can't trust anyone: You never know who is good and who is wrong."

Rancho Buena Vista holds onto lead in final day of Clorox contest
Competition could bring up to $50,000 to modernize performing arts center
Students, teachers and other supporters of Rancho Buena Vista High School are down to their final hours in an online voting contest that could earn the school up to $50,000 to modernize its performing arts center.
There are three categories in the Power a Bright Future grant contest and the school has been in first place in its category since the Nov. 12 start of the campaign. Voting is scheduled to end at 9 p.m. Wednesday.
The contest is sponsored by Clorox, and the grants will go to whatever school generates the most overall votes through computers or phones. People register to vote at
powerabrightfuture.clorox.com or by texting their vote without registering.
Schools that finish in first place in their category will receive $25,000. The school that finishes in first overall will get another $25,000 for a total of $50,000.
If the school's lead in the competition sounds familiar, it may be because North County just last year rallied around another local school, Discovery Elementary in San Marcos, in the same contest.
Discovery held the lead in a tight race until the very end, when another school got more votes. Clorox still gave Discovery $50,000, however, after the company incorrectly announced it was the winner.
With about 2,500 schools across the nation entered in the contest, how did schools in neighboring North County districts land near the top two years in a row?
Teacher Tom Berger, who helped coordinate Rancho Buena Vista's strategy in the contest, said it was just a coincidence.
"I knew about it somewhere in the back of my head," Berger said. "But when I was writing (the grant proposal) and researching it, that was not on my radar at all."
In San Marcos last year, people campaigned for Discovery votes several ways, including painting car windows with the numbers to text for the school.
Berger said Rancho Buena Vista has relied more on social media to get the word out about the votes.
But there are some things the two school campaigns did have in common. Both did on-campus events, and volunteers have stood outside local stores with fliers asking people to vote.
Possibly most important, organizers from both schools began strategizing before voting started to hit the ground running.
Berger said two teachers who had been at Discovery last year had advised Rancho Buena Vista organizers to plan ahead. With that advice, he met with the school's band director, drama director, a graphic designer and an assistant principal to talk about strategy.
"Parent booster groups for drama and band have been huge," Berger said.
The campaign also has brought people together on campus, he said.
"I've even had kids who aren't really into school say, 'Hey, are we in first place?'" he said. "There's a community spirit."

Brain tumor culprit caught
Photo: Ependymomas are brain tumors that arise from cells near to the ventricular system of the brain through which the cerebrospinal fluid circulates. Ependymomas represent approximately six percent of brain tumors in children. Most patients are diagnosed before the age of five years. Microscopic hallmarks of the ependymoma are the rosetted arrangement of cells around a tiny clear canal and pink collars of tissue around blood vessels.

Gene sequencing project discovers common driver of a childhood brain tumor
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital -Washington University Pediatric Cancer Genome Project identifies the most common genetic alteration yet in the brain tumor ependymoma; results offer clues for fighting other cancers
Memphis, Tennessee, February 19, 2014
The St. Jude Children's Research Hospital-Washington University Pediatric Cancer Genome Project has identified the most common genetic alteration ever reported in the brain tumor ependymoma and evidence that the alteration drives tumor development. The research appears February 19 as an advanced online publication in the scientific journal Nature.
The results provide a foundation for new research to improve diagnosis and treatment of ependymoma, the third most common brain tumor in children. St. Jude has begun work to translate the discovery into new treatments for a disease that remains incurable in 40 percent of young patients. The findings should also aid efforts to understand and intervene against other cancers, including adult tumors.
The newly discovered alteration involves a gene named RELA. The gene plays a pivotal role in the NF-κB pathway, a signaling system in cells that regulates inflammation. Researchers have long recognized that this pathway is inappropriately switched on in many adult tumors. This study marks the first time scientists have found a repeated mistake—a gene alteration–in the central part of the pathway in brain cancer.
In this study, 70 percent of young patients with ependymomas in the front part of the brain carried the RELA alteration and few other genetic changes. The alteration was not found in ependymomas in other regions of the brain.
"In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that a frequent mutation in the heart of the NF-κB pathway is sufficient to transform normal brain cells into cancer cells and drive tumor development," said co-corresponding author Richard Gilbertson, M.D., Ph.D., director of the St. Jude Comprehensive Cancer Center. "This should help us to understand how abnormal NF-κB activity drives cancer and to develop new treatments to block that activity."
The alteration fuses RELA with parts of another gene, C11orf95, in a process called translocation. The translocation produces abnormal proteins that rapidly cause fatal brain tumors in mice. These tumors resembled the human disease.
"This is an exciting finding, not only for understanding the biology of a rare and particularly devastating childhood brain cancer, but also for understanding how it might be effectively treated," said co-author Richard K. Wilson, Ph.D., director of The Genome Institute at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
St. Jude is now leading an international study to determine if the C11orf95-RELA translocation might help predict the outcome for ependymoma patients. St. Jude has also developed a test to identify tumors that carry the translocation. Co-corresponding author David Ellison, M.D., Ph.D., St. Jude Department of Pathology chair, led that effort.
An analytic tool called CICERO developed by St. Jude researchers played a key role in identifying the translocation. Co-corresponding author Jinghui Zhang, Ph.D., an associate member of the St. Jude Department of Computational Biology, led the team that developed CICERO.
Finding the translocation required sifting through 246 billion pieces of genetic information that contain the complete genetic code of the tumor as well as the normal DNA from 41 young patients with ependymoma. The researchers also studied the RNA in 77 ependymomas. The DNA in cells contains the code for each gene, while RNA transmits this information to the part of the cell that makes proteins. By sequencing both the DNA and RNA, scientists can see which genes are turned on and are making abnormal products such as the RELA translocation.
Using CICERO, researchers found abnormalities in RNA that led them to the C11orf95-RELA translocation. The fusion gene was created when a piece of chromosome 11 that houses both the C11orf95 and RELA genes was shattered and incorrectly reassembled.
The result is one of the most commonly occurring translocations ever reported in brain tumors. Of the 41 ependymomas in this study that began in the front part of the brain, 29 tumors had the translocation and made RELA fusion proteins. "The fact the alteration results in abnormal proteins offers a potential new therapeutic target, which is significant for ependymoma," Gilbertson said.
Researchers are working to understand how the fusion proteins cause cancer. Evidence suggests that C11orf95 plays a key role by altering the way that RELA moves through the cell and performs its normal functions. Investigators also discovered translocations involving other genes that appear to drive ependymoma.
The study was part of the Pediatric Cancer Genome Project, which has sequenced the complete normal and tumor genomes of 700 young cancer patients. The project was launched in 2010 to harness advances in genome sequencing technology to improve understanding and treatment of some of the most aggressive and least understood childhood cancers.
The study's first authors are Matthew Parker, Kumarasamypet Mohankumar, Chandanamali Punchihewa and Ricardo Weinlich, all of St. Jude. The other authors are James Dalton, Yongjin Li, Ruth Tatevossian, Timothy Phoenix, Radhika Thiruvenkatam, Elsie White, Bo Tang, Wilda Orisme, Michael Rusch, Xiang Chen, Yuxin Li, Panduka Nagahawhatte, Erin Hedlund, David Finkelstein, Gang Wu, Shelia Shurtleff, John Easton, Kristy Boggs, Donald Yergeau, Bhavin Vadodaria, Heather Mulder, Jared Becksfort, Pankaj Gupta, Robert Huether, Jing Ma, Guangchun Song, Amar Gajjar, Thomas Merchant, Frederick Boop, James Downing and Douglas Green, all of St. Jude; Ryan Lee and Kirti Gupta, both formerly of St. Jude; Amy Smith, MD Anderson Cancer Center Orlando, Orlando, Fla.; and Li Ding, Charles Lu, Kerri Ochoa, David Zhao, Robert Fulton, Lucinda Fulton and Elaine Mardis, all of Washington University.
The study was funded in part by the Pediatric Cancer Genome Project, including Kay Jewelers, a lead sponsor; grants (CA129541, CA96832, CA021765) from the National Institutes of Health; the Collaborative Ependymoma Research Network and ALSAC.

Manufacturer: Tucker Saddle (View all products by Tucker)
Model: High Plain (View all High Plain reviews)
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: Years ago, surfing the web for saddles I came across the Tucker. I was looking for a saddle that fit many gaited horses. Many years later, I purchased one. This saddle not only fit gaited horses, but Mustangs and every other horse I saddled that had the back for the size tree I had. Amazing twist in the tree. It fit straight shouldered horses as well as good angled shoulders.
Likes: I ride 6-8 hours on mountainous trails. Incredibly comfortable and well balanced for horse and rider. Saddle has appropriate accessories for trail riding. The leather was of good quality and good stitching. Not much movement in the saddle which is important for trail riding.
Dislikes: Hmmmm....tough to find something negative about this saddle. It has held up incredibly well over the years while riding through some pretty rough trail not to mention all the water I have gone through with this saddle. Saddle has held up extremely well. Could use a few more rings to add additional rigging, however, this is minor.
Quality: Twist in the tree happens to be incredibly constructed. Newer saddles are lighter than their older saddles. I prefer the older saddles but the new ones are well made as well. Leather is of good grade .
Summary: Go for it! With care, this saddle with last a very long time with heavy usage. Can't beat how it fits the horse and how it fits the rider. And, sooooo very comfortable for long rides. Great for the human back

Pfizer pharmaceutical company in Pearl River Nov. 17. / Peter Carr/The Journal News
PEARL RIVER — Pfizer is laying off 71 people as local officials ponder the future of the drugmakers Pearl River plant.
The 47 union and 24 nonunion employees are to be laid off through June 29, according to a notice filed with the state Department of Labor on Monday.
Pfizer cited company restructuring as the reason for the layoff.
The job cuts are the latest in a series of layoffs at the North Middletown Road facility since May 2010, when the pharmaceutical giant announced it would close all but one of its local divisions by 2014, cutting 1,250 employees.
Meanwhile, the company has hired Cushman and Wakefield, a major real-estate and marketing firm in New York, to lease or sell sections of the sprawling 550-acre property with about 2.5 million square feet of industrial space.
The firm began advertising the property in November.
Grace Ann Arnold, a spokeswoman for Pfizer, said the company is evaluating its options. They include selling the property and then leasing back the facilities used by the manufacturing and research and development divisions.
Pfizer will continue to maintain a significant presence in Pearl River, N.Y., where our colleagues play an important role in Pfizers R&D strategy and global supply network, Arnold said in a statement.
Through changes in ownership, the Pfizer plant has been an economic mainstay in Rockland County for more than 100 years.
It remains Orangetowns biggest commercial taxpayer and a major private employer in the area with 1,950 employees.
In a sign of the facilitys importance to the local tax base, Orangetown Supervisor Andy Stewart met with Pfizer officials Wednesday during a tour of the facility with the Nanuet school board.
Stewart was briefed on Pfizers plans for the facility and said he welcomed the possibility of finding tenants for some of the now-vacated buildings at the site.
They seem pretty aggressive about bringing tenants to the facility, he said. We all hope that works because the alternative is that they knock down the building.
Orangetown faced a fiscal setback due to a tax settlement with Pfizer.
The facilitys assessment, $365 million in 2011, will be reduced gradually to about $200 million over five years.
Pfizer is also a major taxpayer in the Nanuet school district, which reached a $8.55 million tax settlement with the company in 2011.

Bonobos are the enigmatic fifth member of the great ape family which also consists of orang-utans, gorillas, common chimpanzees and humans. In the same way as we relate to common chimpanzees, the DNA recipe which makes up humans differs by around 1% to that which makes up bonobos, making them both equally our closest living genetic relatives. Their scientific name (Pan paniscus), means 'diminutive Pan': a minute version of the goat-horned and legged Greek forest god, who enjoyed some nymph debauchery while playing the pan flute in mythological times. This term has only been used to designate the bonobo since 1933 as prior to that date, bonobos were largely unknown or misunderstood to be dwarf chimpanzees.
Although the common chimpanzee and the bonobo are both members of the chimpanzee family, they are indeed distinct species which are thought to have diverged due to environmental change. Between 1.5 and 2 million years ago, the Congo river formed and started its course, which separates the North-western area of the land of Congo into two pieces. It is understood that the appearance of the Congo river led to a speciation event, where the ancestors of bonobos and common chimpanzees became isolated from each other both physically and socially on either side of the river. This theory is supported by the estimation that the genetic material of both species differs by a number of mutations which needed between 1 and 2 million years to arise.
It is thought that there was a stark difference in the availability of food resources on one side of the Congo river compared to the other, and that this factor is crucially important in understanding the physical and behavioural contrast between the common chimpanzee and the bonobo. The southern area home to bonobos is characterized by lush jungle rich in foodstuffs, where every individual could afford to share what they had, while common chimpanzees probably had to compete and find innovative and sometimes devious methods to forage enough food to survive on the northern divide. These differential ecological conditions are thought to explain why bonobos have adopted some rather more peaceful social dynamics than common chimpanzees.
Indeed, the bonobo is an ape of a gentle nature. While the common chimpanzee society is one based on male dominance where individuals are seen to habitually raid steal and murder; bonobo societies are female-led but relatively egalitarian, and they have never been witnessed to kill another of their own kind. The key to the peaceful group cohesion of bonobos seems to be the way in which they deal with social tension, having replaced aggression with sex. For bonobos, sexuality and sociality are one and the same, leading to all group members interacting together sexually, regardless of age or gender. Female-female sex is particularly important among bonobos, as females leave their natal group at adolescence to avoid inbreeding, and use sex with the females in their new group to form and maintain bonds. The strong social bonding between females and the fact that sex is more powerful than aggression among bonobos, means that females are able to dominate males even though they are smaller in size.
Bonobos also use sexual contact to make sure that situations of potential conflict remain peaceful, such as at times of feeding. If a group of bonobos encounters a source of food, they will react by engaging in rapid successions of plentiful sexual encounters for everyone, before proceeding to the harmonious sharing of the food source.
These behavioural features of bonobo life have earned them the nickname in the popular press of 'hippie apes' or 'make-love-not-war apes', while common chimpanzees are increasingly demonized in contrast. Although there is debate regarding the true significance of bonobo behaviour and its evolution, there is no doubt that our two closest relatives are divergent in their natures. This idea is highlighted by primatologist Frans de Waal who has spent many years arguing that human nature may not be inherently selfish and violent, as there is such variation in the natural behaviour of our two closest relatives. De Waal illustrates this point with the story of the bombing of Hellabrun in Germany during the second World War, where explosions caused all the bonobos in a nearby zoo to die out of fright while the common chimpanzees were apparently not affected.
Bonobos only live in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has been a war torn region for many years. Civil hostilities and monetary struggles in the country have led to the rapidly increasing destruction of the habitat of bonobos, as well as to their mass murder for the black market bushmeat trade. Furthermore, the political and social instability of the country makes it very challenging to establish successful conservation projects to help bonobos. These factors, coupled with the fact that bonobo population growth is slow, have led to a dramatic loss of wild bonobos over recent times and they are now gravely endangered.
If you want to help stop the decline of bonobo population numbers, there are many ways to get involved in conservation work, good information sources are the Great Ape Trust and Bonobo Conservation Initiative websites:

Over the last four years or so, Paramore got busier and spent more time working on tour than we did at home. I sort of forgot how much I loved, even needed, my alone time. But the past year, being as "slow" as it was… I was able to sort of refocus all that nervous, busy energy and learn once again how nice a night-in can be.
