Autobytel's 10 Best Cars For The Money
Everybody likes a good deal—right?
When it comes to new cars, getting a good deal is one of the paramount goals of practically every shopper. Thing is, that phrase "a good deal" is a highly subjective one. What might be a good deal to an information technology specialist cranking out $100,000 a year is probably stratospherically unaffordable to a new college graduate looking to cop their first set of wheels.
With that in mind, we scoured the marketplace and pulled together a collection of what we feel are the best cars for the money in several different categories. Our primary consideration in each instance was to maximize just how much car you actually get for the money.
And so, without further ado, let's set some bucks to banging as we outline Autobytel's 10 best new cars delivering the biggest bang for the bucks.
Autobytel's 10 Best Cars For The Money: Ford Focus
A perennial player on practically every list of best new cars, Ford's Focus is a deft blend of performance, value, and versatility. Whether you choose the hatchback or the sedan, you'll get a handsome, well-appointed car, one giving the appearance you paid considerably more for it than you actually did. The 21st century equivalent of Ford's Model T—the car that put a nation on wheels—practically every working household can have a Ford Focus in the garage.
Yet, it is also high quality, nicely equipped, and very enjoyable to drive.
Available in three different flavors, extreme performance intenders will appreciate the 252-horsepower Ford Focus ST with its bigger brakes, meaty tires, optional Recaro seats, and six-speed manual transmission. Ecologically minded drivers will revel in the zero emissions battery powered Ford Focus Electric. The Focus Electric's lithium-ion battery pack can be completely recharged from depletion in four hours using a 240-volt charging system. Then, there's the standard Focus, whose 160-horsepower four-cylinder engine is good for 26 miles per gallon in the city and 36 on the highway.
Standard features across all models include full power accessories, air-conditioning, and a versatile audio system. Plying the options list you'll find high-end features like automatic self-parking and the Sync voice activated infotainment system.

Autobytel's 10 Best Cars For The Money: Honda Fit
The Honda marque is closely associated with value, engineering excellence, fuel efficiency, and reliability. With that said, it is quite unsurprising the brand would have a car on this list. Fact is, most of its models qualify. But the standout—in this instance— is the Honda Fit.
In addition to frugality, the Fit brings functionality to the fore—huge. Fold the Honda's rear seats flat and you'll be looking at a positively cavernous 57 cubic feet of cargo space. Who needs a small SUV when you can get this much carrying capacity in a package this small? Further, that cargo space is remarkably versatile, in addition to folding completely flat, the Fit's rear seat cushions will fold upward giving you the capability of splitting the cargo area into two sections. Additionally, they are designed to do so individually for the ultimate in flexibility.
Power is served up from a 1.5-liter inline four, capable of delivering 117 horsepower and 106 ft-lbs of torque. A five speed manual transmission is the standard offering, while a five-speed automatic can be had as an option. Either way, the front wheels do all the pulling. If you're looking for reliability, functionality, fuel efficiency, and affordability the Honda Fit could well fill your bill.

Autobytel's 10 Best Cars For The Money: Toyota Prius c
Still the car everybody thinks of whenever the word "hybrid" is spoken in relation to an automobile, the Toyota Prius—while it didn't invent the hybrid category—is certainly its icon. Further, now that Toyota has introduced an entire range of models around the Prius concept; it almost qualifies as its own brand. Exceptionally fuel-efficient, remarkably capacious, and delivering outstanding ride quality and comfort, if you're looking for a value-laden ride in the hybrid space, the smallest member of the Prius family, the Toyota Prius c is a tough car to beat.
To motivate the model, Toyota's engineers teamed a 1.5-liter inline four with two electric motor/generators. Combined, the powertrain transmits 99 horsepower to the front wheels through a continuously variable automatic transmission. Nickel hydride batteries store power to energize the electric motors.
And, while economy is certainly a primary consideration of the Toyota Prius c, creature comforts do come along for the ride. Automatic climate control, Bluetooth, and a full array of power accessories are standard, even on the base model. Up your ante a bit and you can also get navigation, keyless entry and start, as well as heated seats.
Further, if you find the Prius c a bit too small for your needs, there are three other Toyota Prius models for you to choose from.

Autobytel's 10 Best Cars For The Money: Tesla Model S
The Silicon Valley upstart has pretty much set the automotive world on its ear. Completely shattering every preconception of what an electric car could—and could not be, the Tesla Model S is at once powerful, luxurious and prestigious; while delivering up to 265 miles of range on a single charge. What's more, if BMW made an electric 5 Series, dynamically, the result would very closely resemble the Tesla Model S.
Those expecting the world's first practical fully electric luxury sedan to be an amalgamation of compromises are going to be happily disappointed. The Tesla Model S is a fully formed, well thought out effort. What's more, the vast majority of drivers will find it capable of far more performance potential than they will ever have a desire to exploit on the road.
On the comfort and convenience front, the Tesla offers an innovative touch screen control system for every secondary aspect of the Model S. The huge touchscreen iPad-like video monitor dominating the interior's center stack allows the driver to interact with all of the Tesla's comfort and convenience functions with either the tap, or a swipe, of a finger.
The Tesla's rear mounted 310 kW electric motor in the rear-drive Model S generates 416 horsepower at 5,000 RPM and 443 ft-lbs of torque —the moment you depress the throttle. In other words, the motor's full torque potential is available the moment you set the Tesla into motion.
If this is to be the future of motoring—please sign us up.

MPG: Yeah, uh, kinda irrelevant in this case...
Autobytel's 10 Best Cars For The Money: Lexus RX 350
There's a reason the Lexus RX 350 is the best selling luxury crossover model in the U.S. OK, actually, there are several reasons. However, leading the list is certainly value. Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, the Lexus RX 350 is easily the best buy in its segment. Other factors in the Lexus RX 350's favor include a very comfortable ride, easy handling, a generously proportioned passenger compartment, and a broad array of luxury features.
Lexus built its reputation on quiet, smooth, well appointed automobiles and the RX 350 solidly lives up to the promise of its marque. Everything you expect to find in an automobile of this caliber is represented, including 18-inch alloy wheels, a power liftgate, keyless entry and start, power seats, a dual-zone automatic climate control system, and a nine-speaker audio system. Further, the palatial accommodations are upholstered in leather and trimmed with genuine wood.
Power comes from a 270-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6, capable of generating 248 ft-lbs of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission routes the output of the engine to either the front wheels, or all four—if the all-wheel drive option is selected. Fold all of this goodness in with the legendary reliability of Toyota's products and you'll find a pretty compelling product proposition in the Lexus RX 350.

Autobytel's 10 Best Cars For The Money: Nissan Xterra
If you're solidly into off road adventures and you're looking for a robust vehicle to get you and all of your gear out there and back in here, the Nissan Xterra is the last mid-size body on frame SUV you can buy brand new. Where all of the rugged Xterra's competitors have gone to unit body construction, the X-Nissan remains resolutely old school in that regard.
But don't let that fool you into thinking the Nissan Xterra is a stripped down dirt dauber. You can get it fit with a nice bit of kit, even at that reasonable price. Standard features include privacy glass, tubular roof rack rails, a full array of power accessories, A/C, and a split folding rear seat.
Power comes from a 4.0-liter V6, capable of cranking out 261 horsepower and 281 ft-lbs of torque. The base two-wheel drive Xterra gets a five-speed automatic transmission; four-wheel drive Xterras can be ordered with a six-speed manual.
Further, depending upon your budget and your intentions, the Xterra can be outfitted from mild to wild when it comes to dealing with mud, ruts, rocks and sand. Or, if you just like the looks of the Nissan, you can set your Xterra up with rear drive and nobody will ever know you're a poseur.
Well, they'll never know by looking at your ride anyway. :^D

MPG: City 16 / Highway 22
Autobytel's 10 Best Cars For The Money: Audi A6
Sleek, seductive, powerful and smooth, the Audi A6 is one of the most desirable mid-size luxury sedans on the market today. Bred for the unlimited-speed environment of Germany's autobahn, the Audi A6 converts time to distance in an almost preternatural fashion. Plus, it looks so good when you walk up to it in a parking lot.
We're talking sexy here folks — in a very big way.
The 2013 Audi A6 is offered with a choice of two engines; a 310-horsepower, 325-ft/lb 3.0-liter supercharged V6, or a 220-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, capable of generating 258 ft-lbs of torque. Front-drive and a continuously variable automatic transmission are standard with the 2.0-liter turbo. All-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission are available as options. The V6 comes with all-wheel drive and the eight-speed as standard equipment.
When you're riding inside the Audi, you feel like you're someplace special, because, well, you are. Hundreds of thousands of keyboard keys have tapped out millions of words of praise for the quality, fit, and finish of Audi's interiors—and we just typed twenty-two more. Nobody does a car interior like Audi.
Audis are strong on tech too. In this case, highlights include a dedicated Internet connection, enabling the 2013 A6 to perform magical feats like incorporating Google maps into its navigation system. When you drive around in the A6, you'll see the actual buildings on your route. And, if you need a Web hotspot, with the 2013 Audi A6, you'll be driving one.

Autobytel's 10 Best Cars For The Money: Jaguar F-Type
One of the most exciting things to happen in the premium roadster segment in a number of years, the Jaguar F-Type is beautiful, fast, agile, and an outstanding value—relatively speaking, of course. In its category, no other car delivers the jaguar's particular combination of attributes for less money. The Jaguar F-Type's oh-so-shapely body houses nothing less than the heart and soul of a true sports car with a heritage going back to 1922.
Many are heralding the F-Type Jaguar as the spiritual successor to the legendary Jaguar E-Type. In all frankness, this is true on a number of fronts. As beautiful and exotic as that torpedo of a car was in its day, the E-Type represented a significant bargain when pedigree and performance potential were taken into consideration. This is equally true of the 2014 Jaguar F-TYPE.
Power comes from a choice of three engine configurations. The basic F-Type powertrain consists of a 3.0-liter supercharged V6, capable of conjuring 340 horsepower and 332 ft-lbs of torque to feed the rear wheels through the F-Type's eight-speed automatic transmission.
The next rung up in the F-Type output hierarchy makes 380-horsepower and 339 ft-lbs of torque from a modified version of that same engine. If you're looking to boil all the beans, you're lusting after the 495-horsepower, 5.0-liter supercharged V8. If this is where you're living, you might want to adjust your tire budget a tad—given its solid 460 ft-lbs of torque.
Base Price: $69,895 — including $895 destination charge
MPG: City 20 / Highway 28 (base 3.0-liter V6)
Autobytel's 10 Best Cars For The Money: Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
Very few phrases in the English language enjoy the resonance of this one; "the all-new Chevrolet Corvette". Even people who don't care about cars take notice when they hear a new Corvette is coming. Call it national pride, call it wishful dreaming, cal it whatever you will. The bottom line is this car has a very firm grasp upon the public's imagination.
And for good reason—America's only true mass-produced super sports car—the Chevrolet Corvette has been a paragon of performance, style, and sensuality almost from its very inception. Plus, nearly every succeeding model has grown faster and more powerful. Quintessentially American, yet competitive with any other car in its category— from anywhere else in the world—the Chevrolet Corvette is a true icon.
This newest one comes to market packing a newly refined interior package—significantly upping the Corvette's game in this department. Further, overall refinement is up as well. Where previous versions of the Corvette had all the power you'd ever want, they really didn't measure up on the sophistication scale. It was very easy to believe Harley Davidson motorcycles and Chevrolet Corvettes came from the same country.
That's changed now, plus the looks, handling, and power are better than ever. The base powerplant of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is a 6.2-liter V8 blasting some 455 horsepower and 460 ft-lbs of torque to the rear wheels through a choice of a seven-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission.
At the Corvette's price point, absolutely nothing else compares.

Autobytel's 10 Best Cars For The Money: Ford Mustang GT
What can you say about a car with so much notoriety an entire category of cars was named after it? When the Ford Mustang debuted back in 1964, it was a revelation. Chief among its attributes were (just as today) sporty styling, great performance, and a nice selection of features—all at a reasonable price.
The pony car era began and ended with the Mustang—and now it has begun again, with the Mustang. The only car in the category to enjoy a completely uninterrupted run since its inception, the Ford Mustang is a true American legend. Offered in both coupe and convertible body styles, the Mustang has few rivals when it comes to the cachet to price equation.
Today's Ford Mustang is a sleek looking automobile, combining styling cues from some of the most iconic models in the car's history. The Mustang GT features a 420 horsepower V8 good for 390 ft-lbs of torque. One of the smoothest, most free winding V8 engines ever offered by an American auto manufacturer, the Ford Mustang's V8 boasts a 6800 rpm redline, which it happily spins up to—with no resistance at all. Transmission choices are a six-speed manual, or an optional six-speed automatic.
When you're talking bang for the buck in a high performance GT car, Ford's Mustang GT is making a very strong statement—and backing it up too.

We wanted to let you know that we are listening to all of the great feedback you all have been sending us on the OneNote 2010 beta. Right now we are looking at feedback through the following channels:
I think is a lot no‽ In any event if you have problems with OneNote please go to the Connect site and log a bug so we can track it and see if we have fixed this or not. If you have questions try out the OneNote Help site or the newsgroups.
Thanks again and we looking forward to your feedback!
Is there anywhere that I can go to learn whether or not there are extensibility (e.g. plugins) enhancements for OneNote2010
I don't think this is a bug with OneNote (though I can't be sure, but no-one else seems to be having this problem), and I think maybe I'm just missing something obvious...
Either way, I can't seem to modify the pen choices at all. And they are *not* grayed out, I can select them just fine. But I seem to be limited to what are the defaults (black, blue, green, red) and the associated thicknesses. For some reason I can't figure out how to "customize the current pen", like I could in 2007.
When I select the "shape properties"/"colour and thickness" changer thing, I can select any colour and thickness, but it doesn't change anything with the pen.
Do I need to "create" a new pen to use? If so,
how do I do so?
Aside from this one little thing (which yes, has been very frustrating) I am very much enjoying the 2010 additions...
Great work!
The black theme has inconsistent colouring in OneNote 2010 beta. Should do something about that, and maybe make the black, more black.
Hi everybody!! Now i know i am not the only one with a problem like mine. I've never made any trips back to Africa since past 3 years i left my country.I have a valid A - DIRECT AIRSIDE TRANSIT VISA from United Kingdom to my country issued in New York but no money for plane ticket. I have a plan to go to my country to submit my old passport and get a new passport even to visit my Dad and my family members and come back. I pray to God that there is someone out there that will be able to help me, please contact me (prof4real2005 AT yahoo DOT com)to take my information that you can use to buy me a plane ticket. THANKS. MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS. email@example.com
I am liking OneNote 2010 better than previous versions which I have found a little cumbersome to navigate.
I am trying to find out if there is an SDK / developer's notes on Onenote .... I would really like to write some additional integration myself and cannot seem to find anything.
I have a few features I'm missing in OneNote.
- In OneNote 2007 you could print out a page or save it as a pdf, without the grid lines showing. Now, every time I want to save something as a pdf, I have to deactivate the grid lines first.
- OneNote always places page numbers on the page, when you print/save them. I don't like this feature, so every time I print/save something to pdf I have to go to the page preview window first and deactivate the numbering. I wish there was a may to mark this as a standard. This goes for the title as well.
- When I save something to pdf, I can't change the border width around the page. It would be great if such feature was implemented. On top, it would be really cool to have a feature which trims away the whole boarder around the pdf.
- Another useful feature, would be the possibility to copy text from a picture, but not the whole text, only parts of it that you select with the lasso or some other kind of tool.
- In OneNote2007 my webcam showed up in the scanner section, so I could take pictures of texts and place them in to OneNote. Now, my camera isn't recognized by OneNote any more.
- Fill out form. Often I would like to scan or print a formula into OneNote, fill it out and then save it as pdf again. Unfortunately OneNote doesn't line up the pages very well. If I leave the page size set to automatic, the boarder is to wide and when I set it to A4, the printout is to big and gets cut of.
- When I paste part of pdf document through screen-capture(using the pdfprograms screen capture) into OneNote and then save it as a pdf, the picture I grabbed has a blueish background instead of white.
- I would like to use OneNote screen-capture-tool, but it always adds the date and time to the capture. Since I don't want to see this, I have to ether delete it every time or use another capture tool (which is what I'm doing).
All in all, I'm very happy with OneNote2010!
Best regards,
i am trying to run an updatePageContent using the 2010 Beta API it fails , works fine on the 2007.

I have created a training manual in OneNote for my staff to use. My question is that when I create pages in OneNote is there anyway to protect the data so my staff can read but not make edits to it?
is there a way where after i create a page i can chagne the style, i know there are templates that i can use when creating a new page, but what about changing they style of the page after you create it ?
I really liked using the OneNote printout manager that you created as a powertoy for 2007. Is there a similar way to manage printouts in 2010? I mainly like the ability to increase and decrease page sizes seamlessly. Thank you!
I second the first poster. There is no mentioned of an SDK/API/Plugins/Extensions anywhere. Will there be one?
hi, daniel, can i ask, why does microsoft remove the 'live session' feature? it 's a very useful feature which our company uses every day. the sharenotebook isn't that convenient. and it's not real-time update.
looking forward to your reply.
Yea I'd like to know why they got rid of the Live Session feature too! It was extremely useful and used ALL the time!
It probably not a bug but I am a college student and my teacher has documents available to us to put into our onenote notebooks so that when we send it to her dropbox to turn it in it will be easy for her to read or something. I am having a issue with getting the document to appear in my onenote, I have Microsoft Office 2010 also if that helps but after I click the download from the box that appears, one note pops up trying to get the document to load on it but then I get a message saying onenote must be online to complete this task or something like that. PLEASE HELP ASAP, thank you.

We love a relaxing day at the spa, but sometimes our calendars are so booked that scheduling in some R&R isn't easy. This rejuvenating team creates a spa-worthy experience at home, and quite literally so: bliss infused the expertise behind their spa's peels into the that's incredi-'peel'! pads. One swoop of this glycolic resurfacing pad retexturizes and soothes—renewing skin without harsh irritation. And the oil-free face wash does double duty as a daily cleanser and exfoliator.
I am constantly trying to find the right products for my face since my skin is dry, sensitive, and prone to redness. With the bliss foaming face wash and the incredi-peel, I really think I've found my products!
The face wash is really gentle/mild but makes your skin feel SO fresh and clean.
But the pads...it burns as you wipe it all over your face and you think that you're having a negative reaction to the peel. After a few seconds it goes away and there's a noticeable difference in the skin.
I am in love with this duo and am glad Birchbox offers them at a low cost!
I did not receive these products from Birchbox, I had purchased them before they got popular. I Love the scent of the face wash, it helps wake me up because its a fresh scent that smells really good; not an overbearing scent. My skin is sensitive and this wash feels perfect against my skin. the peel is also good. My skin has definitely gotten softer since I've used these products.5
I used the sample of incredi-peel that I received in my Birchbox. I actually saw an improvement in my skin tone after one use. So much so, that I purchased the set of peels and face wash. I'm not a huge fan of the face wash, but keep it as a back up in my shower. The pads come in a 30-day supply. But I make them last at least twice as long. Best product for reducing hyperpigmentation that I have ever used. (But I won't stop looking for the next best thing)5

MommyWoods!! Congratulations! Are you our first September BFP? So happy for you!
Welcome AZmommyto6! It's great to see new members and good news on our little September thread!!!
AFM, today is CD 1 for me, and what a day it has been! My car broke down in a busy area just a couple miles away from my house. I had my two kids with me, and it was really hot outside, and people were impatient and blowing their horms at me. I was waiting for roadside assistance for what seemed like forever, and the whole time I felt crampy and bloated and gross. I feel like this is the one place I can actually say that without it being TMI---after all we do discuss our husbands' sperm here.... Anyway, I am excited and scared to begin this whole process. My period lasts 5 days, then we can get this show on the road!
What's going on with the other September ladies?

AFM, so AF was supposed to arrive on the 15th and is still a no show. I have never been late before so I am getting frustrated. I am only home till the end of next week and now with AF not showing I am dissapointed that our window of opportunity for this month with disappear. The likleyhood of me being pregnant already is nil, according to my cycle I should have O'ed last month somewhere between 27 Sept - 04 Oct and we didn't have sex until 09 Oct. To be sure I have done a HPT and it was a BFN just as I thought it would be. Prior to him having the VR I went and saw a fertility specialist and had all the tests done to make sure I was ovulating and had no issues with my tubes. I would hate to think that he went through all this and now my body decides not to co-operate.
Welcome HockeyGirl! Good to hear your DH is recovering well.
nrkennedy--Sorry to hear about your timing. That stinks. So are you out just for this next month or the one after too? Although you sound pretty certain you are out for this month, maybe you should still test again if AF doesn't show soon? I know I conceived my first child some years ago on October 26--my 24th cycle day, when my period was due on October 31st. I was young and healthy with a regular cycle. Not sure how that happened, but it's made me more flexible in my thinking about exactly when one can get pregnant. LOL.
AFM, I am on CD4 and my period is over already. It was just about done yesterday. That's really short and weird for me. I've gotten a little...er...wobbly, and I want to go hardcore on my exercise this week, but I'm scared to do anything too drastic or different, as I don't want to throw my body off! But with the short, weird period I'm wondering if things are gonna be off anyway. DH's first SA is supposed to be first or second week of November. I know he doesn't wanna get it done. I am not sure whether this is him being his usual non-interventive self or if he's scared that there will still be no sperm seen and the Dr. will want to put him on all kinds of meds that he doesn't want to take. I've had a hard enough time getting him to take the ibubrofren and Fertilaid.
Hoping to hear more good news from September ladies soon!
ME + DH = DD (9) DS (6) DS (11 months)
Desert sparkle, thanks for the words of encouragment :) we will test again next week before I leave if AF still hasn't shown. Unfortunatly due to my job if we are unsucessful this month we will be out until Feb :(
AF showed up today....4 days late. I think it was the flight from Africa to Canda that threw me off this month. Part of me was a little disapointed even though I knew there was no chance of a pregnancy....maybe just maybe we were the 1 in a million. I am more disapointed that we are now out for TTC till Feb :(
I am gonna spend the next few months focused on trying to get my body as healthy as can be so that when I get home in the new year hopefully we will get lucky.
I wish all of you the best of luck and I look forward to seeing many BFP's from our group!!

The Udalls Cove Preservation Committee will hold its 45th annual meeting and wetlands cleanup on Saturday, May 3, at 10 a.m. on Sandhill Road on the border of Douglaston and Little Neck, just west of the Little Neck Railroad Station, on the north side of the railroad tracks.
State Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside) will announce a $20,000 grant for the organization included in the new state budget.
At the meeting, UCPC will report on its latest restoration initiatives, including four separate projects carried out by Eagle Scout candidates from area Boy Scout troops:
• The creation of 800 feet of new trail through a portion of the Ravine section of Udalls Cove Park. Two further phases by two more Eagle Scout candidates, including trail construction and installation of a footbridge over Gabler's Creek, will complete the project during the next two months.
• The construction of a foot bridge over a stream in the Virginia Point section of the park.
• The installation of a split rail fence around a parking area at Virginia Point coupled with planting a large red oak tree and covering hundreds of feet of trail with fresh wood chips.
UCPC continues to maintain a growing network of foot trails in the four segments of Udalls Cove Park — the Ravine, Aurora Pond, Virginia Point and Osprey Landing —and also in the Old Oak Pond section of Alley Pond Park, located between Douglaston Parkway and the Douglaston golf driving range
Since 2004, UCPC has carried out a series of restoration projects at a total cost of over $200,000. These include removal of 1.5 million pounds of concrete rubble from the Ravine; construction of 500 feet of heavy duty guardrail along Sandhill Road near Aurora Pond; construction of erosion controls in the Ravine; removal of invasives and extensive reforestation in the Ravine and at Virginia Point; and construction and reopening of trails in all areas of the park.
The group has also carried out wildlife restoration projects, including installation of two successful osprey nesting platforms.
UCPC, an all-volunteer group, is now planning its next major restoration project that will rely in part on the new grant. Among the projects under consideration is removal of heavy debris in the water around Virginia Point. This debris, including sunken boats and motors, dates back to the time over 50 years ago when two commercial marinas operated there.
Udalls Cove Park and Preserve stretches north from Northern Boulevard, through the wooded Ravine to the freshwater wetlands around Aurora Pond and the expansive salt marsh of Virginia Point at the edge of the eastern arm of Little Neck Bay. This area is home to a wide variety of birds, amphibians and mammals including raccoons, muskrats and foxes.
Participants are invited to join in a free picnic lunch at Memorial Field in Douglaston starting at shortly past noon following the cleanup.

Birchwood announces closing date for remodel
The Birchwood announces its closing date
photo by Vincent Marcinelli
The Birchwood will be doing pop-up breakfasts at Verdant Tea 7 days a week until they reopen.
Photo by Vincent Marcinelli
Birchwood's process for expansion has been a long journey, one that goes back several years. In the fall of 2012, the neighborhood cafe reached out to its neighbors to seek approval for their proposed remodel. In the fall of 2013, the neighborhood favorite launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund their add-on. The campaign eventually raised over $112,000 and now the construction is about to commence.

Global banking giant HSBC said Wednesday that non-executive director James Comey has stepped down from the board after his confirmation as director of the FBI.
The US Senate had on Monday confirmed President Barack Obama's pick to head the FBI at a time of heightened scrutiny of US intelligence operations.
"James B Comey, Jr., an independent non-executive director of HSBC Holdings plc, has resigned from the board with effect from 4 September 2013, following his confirmation by the US Senate as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation," HSBC said in a brief statement.
Comey, a respected former deputy attorney general, was nominated to the post by President Obama in June.
Earlier this year, he was appointed to the HSBC board at the start of March and served on the bank's Financial System Vulnerabilities Committee.
"On behalf of the board, I warmly congratulate Jim on his appointment as director of the FBI," added HSBC Chairman Douglas Flint in Wednesday's statement.
"The appointment reflects his expertise and the esteem in which he is held. We are sad to lose Jim's wise counsel and are grateful to him for the contribution he has made to HSBC in his brief time as a non-executive Director and member of the Financial System Vulnerabilities Committee.
"We wish him the very best with his appointment to this important role."
Comey will follow Robert Mueller, who until Monday had been the only FBI director of the post-9/11 era.

Former quarterback has nostalgic game plan for the city of Syracuse
Carmen Harlow says he's better off now than he was eight years ago. During the Mayoral Odyssey of 2001, he declared his intention to run for the city's top spot and began the process of gathering signatures on nominating petitions, only to withdraw from the race and endorse current incumbent Matt Driscoll. After winning the election, Driscoll appointed Harlow Deputy Commissioner of the Department of Public Works.
"I'm better off due to that position," he says now, "and I thank the Mayor for it."
After declaring his intentions, Harlow got a phone call from the city personnel department informing him that one of Driscoll's policies prohibited city employees from running for office.
"I was never told that was a policy," Harlow maintains, "but it's time to move on."
Born and raised in Syracuse, Harlow grew up in Pioneer Homes and on Baker Avenue and now lives in the Valley. He was twice elected to represent the then 23rd District on the County Legislature.
"I've had many hats on," he notes, "enjoyed myself. A lot of challenges, lot of ups and downs. A lot of positives."
A product of city public schools, he was a standout quarterback for Nottingham, winning a scholarship to Syracuse University, where he was a reserve at that position.
Although three other candidates have been out campaigning for months for the Democrats' nomination, Harlow does not see himself as a late comer to the race.
"I think they started too early," he says, "But everybody has to get the petitions signed. I've been through this twice already."
Perhaps reflecting on his situation eight years ago, he observes, "If there's a really, really good outstanding candidate, and it's a person I feel I can go ahead and back, then I'll do that. But right now I don't feel there's a great, outstanding candidate that I could back.

This month, my team of fellow IT Pro Technical Evangelists are publishing a series of articles on Why Windows Server 2012 R2? that highlights the key enhancements and new capabilities that we're seeing driving particular interest in this latest release of our Windows Server operating system in the field. This article has been updated now that Window Server 2012 R2 is generally available. After reading this article, be sure to catch the full series at:
Hyper-V Network Virtualization (HNV) is part of our Software Defined Networking (SDN) portfolio that is included inbox with Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2. HNV provides the ability to present virtualized network architectures and IP routing domains to virtual machines (VM's) in a manner that is abstracted from the existing underlying physical network architecture. By virtualizing the network layer with HNV, several important benefits can be realized around reduced networking complexity, improved configuration agility, enhanced routing performance in highly virtualized datacenters, cross-site Live Migration of VM's, IP address space portability, and network layer isolation.
Hyper-V Network Virtualization (HNV) – Virtualizing the Network Layer
Windows Server 2012 R2 and System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) also enhance the inbox HNV capabilities through a number of important additions. In this article, we'll discuss the benefits of HNV that organizations are leveraging today, the new features present in the "R2" product releases and Step-by-Step resources that you can leverage to begin implementing HNV in your own lab environment.
Much more than simply creating virtual network switches (vSwitches) to connect VM's to various physical subnets within a datacenter, HNV provides the ability to virtualize entire network address spaces and routing domains, independent of the underlying physical network architecture. Virtualizing the network layer with HNV can provide some very real benefits, including:
Let's look at each of these areas in greater detail …
HNV doesn't require the use of Virtual LAN's (VLANs) in the physical network layer to segment traffic onto separate subnets. As any network engineer will admit, managing dozens of VLANs in modern enterprises can be quite challenging – VLAN adds and changes often requiring touching many different physical network devices and, as a result, can require significant time investments from network administrators. Instead of leveraging VLANs for traffic segmentation and isolation, HNV uses Network Virtualization over GRE (NVGRE) to securely isolate virtualized Layer-3 IP networks and then segment these virtualized networks into one or more IP subnets. Since physical network devices widely support the GRE transport for the NVGRE overlay protocol today, virtualized networks can be easily deployed incrementally without disrupting the existing physical network configuration.
Many organizations that are managing highly virtualized datacenters have seen a huge increase in East-to-West network traffic between IP subnets, that is, the traffic moving "horizontally" between virtualization hosts and virtual machines running in the datacenter. This is in contrast to traditional North-to-South hierarchical network architectures, where routing between subnets had been handled by dedicated core routers. In fact, as organizations increase virtualization densities per-host by moving to larger "scaled-up" virtualization hosts, they have seen East-to-West traffic between IP subnets further flatten out and have experienced higher volumes of cross-subnet traffic between VMs on the same virtualization host. Some organizations using high VM densities and scaled-up host server architectures have reported as much as 75% to 80% of their cross-subnet traffic within the datacenter being between VMs located on the same virtualization host!
With this increasing trend towards routing between VM's on the same virtualization host or virtualization hosts co-located in the same datacenter racks, it makes sense to look for new ways to bring Layer-3 network routing intelligence into the hypervisor itself. In doing so, this allows virtual switches running locally on each hypervisor host to act as distributed Layer-3 routers so that cross-subnet traffic between VM's never needs to leave the virtualization host and can occur at system bus speeds instead of physical wire speeds.
HNV addresses distributed Layer-3 routing between virtualized subnets by including a network virtualization routing extension natively inside Hyper-V Virtual Switches running on each Hyper-V host. This distributed router can make cross-subnet routing decisions locally within the vSwitch to directly forward traffic between VM's on different virtualized subnets within the same virtual network, or routing domain. To manage and distribute the appropriate routing policies to each Hyper-V host, System Center 2012 R2 VMM performs as the routing policy server, enabling the configuration of distributed routers across many Hyper-V hosts to be easily coordinated from a single centralized point of administration.
HNV provides the ability, via the NVGRE overlay protocol, to easily extend consistent virtualized networks and their associated IP address spaces across multiple Hyper-V hosts, physical subnets and physical network locations. As a result, these virtualized networks can be transparently "stretched" across typical physical network boundaries. Since VM's in this configuration receive their IP addressing based on the address spaces associated with these virtualized networks, and not the underlying physical network, this makes it super-easy to move VM's across multiple physical subnets while preserving their virtualized IP addresses. As a result, VM's running on virtualized networks can be easily Live Migrated to new Hyper-V hosts, regardless of the physical subnet to which the destination Hyper-V is attached.
The abstraction of virtualized network IP address spaces from the underlying physical network architecture provides a higher level of portability that is important as organizations consider hybrid cloud strategies. In many cases, virtualized applications can be complex multi-tier applications that stretch across multiple virtual machines. Being able to extend the perimeter of portability beyond a single VM to include an entire virtualized network of several VM's gives organizations the ability to easily relocate where these more complex applications are physically hosted, without the need for changing the IP address scheme that the application is using to communicate between VM's. Just pick up that entire virtualized network and move it to a new physical location – HNV provides the agility to extend the virtualized network across the physical network on-demand.
HNV securely isolates each virtualized network in their own routing domain at a physical network layer by dynamically tagging the NVGRE packets that are used to encapsulate the virtualized network traffic. Because virtualized networks are separated by routing domain, they are each independent and cannot communicate with one another without going through an intermediary network virtualization gateway. Because they are completely isolated, each virtualized network can use whatever virtualized IP address space is needed – separate virtual networks can even be configured with the same or overlapping virtualized IP address spaces!
This level of network-layer isolation can be a real benefit when organizations are preparing isolated lab networks, internal network security perimeters or performing a business merger / acquisition. In these cases, the ability to consolidate multiple overlapping IP address spaces on a common physical network architecture while keep them completely isolated from one another can help to accelerate configuration processes and reduce overall infrastructure complexity. Organizations that are hosting shared infrastructure across several customer organizations, such as hosting partners, can also benefit from this network layer isolation, which ensures that each customer tenant is operating in their own secure virtualized network even if all customers are ultimately using the same physical network fabric.
As mentioned earlier in this article, HNV was originally introduced as an inbox Hyper-V capability in Windows Server 2012. In the new "R2" release, several important enhancements have been made to HNV to improve performance and configuration flexibility. Some of the noteworthy enhancements that I've seen positively impact customer organizations using HNV include:
HNV, Network Virtualization, and Software Defined Networking are ushering in a new, more agile era of network architectures that can provide real-world benefits today, as well as prepare datacenters for an easier transition towards leveraging hybrid cloud scenarios. Learn more about evaluating and implementing HNV with these great additional resources:

The Chess Players of Augusta held a tournament at the Columbia County Library on Saturday.
LOS ANGELES - "Knights of the South Bronx," an A&E movie premiering Dec. 6 (8 p.m.), is based on a true-life tale about how a teacher uses chess to inspire inner-city kids.
David Whatley is the secretary for the Aiken County Chess Club.
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. -- If the world's leading chess federation gets its way, the game will be included in the Olympics - as long as the competitors agree to the drug tests. The Federation Internationale des Echecs, the organization leading the push, has already begun testing for substances banned at the Olympics in an effort to boost its credentials. That has rankled some players who call drug-testing in chess a logistical headache and a logical absurdity.
While most children his age are playing with Power Rangers or Barbie dolls, 4-year-old Daniel Brachey plots to capture enemy kings. Although not yet enrolled in school, Daniel is a member of North Columbia Elementary School's chess team, and helped his team recently bring home a sixth place trophy from a national tournament in Tennessee involving 4,000 players. "He's amazing. I'm fairly certain he was the youngest player at Nationals," said North Columbia chess coach Wayne Warner.

Election day is Tuesday, and in Kingsford there are two open seats on the city council, with four candidates running.
Joe Groeneveld is running for the council for the first time. As a retired law enforcement officer, he says he has gotten to know many areas of the community, from schools to city officials.
"I really actually like our council the way it is right now," said Groeneveld. "They have differing opinions which I think is OK. I've worked with many, many, many citizens. I've built a trust with this community, and I want to take that trust to city hall."
Elections take place on Tuesday, November 5.

California Water Policy: Driest Year in State History Leads to Debate
The year 2013 marked the driest year recorded in California history. December is typically a wet month in the state, but the Summer-like Winter in 2013 was both a blessing and a curse. A serious debate on the state's water future is imperative.
The Independent Voter Project organized and hosted a summit on California water policy, which included a panel that consisted of several experts and legislators in the state's struggle for sufficient water supply. The event can be viewed below:
The panel included the following members:
- Anthony Cannella, California State Senator – 12th District
- Adam Gray, California Assembly Member – 21st District
- Mario Santoyo, Executive Director of California Latino Water Coalition
- Ara Azhderian, San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority
- Mike Wade, Executive Director of California Farm Water Coalition
- Ron Jacobsma, Eastside Water District
Senator Cannella gave opening remarks and noted that California's water infrastructure was built to accommodate a population of 10 million people. The state is now approaching a population of 40 million. He also stated that water isn't just about California itself, it's also about every state and country that gets food from California agriculture.
The 2014 election cycle will present a state water bond measure of $11.14 billion on the ballot for water supply and infrastructure. The details may change as election day approaches.
The panel weighed in on the water bond and what can be done to solve years of drought. Mike Wade explained that if a bond is put in place where public funds are used, that there needs to be more accountability with how it's used. Ron Jacobsma noted that ecosystems and wildlife need to be considered when making a decision on water infrastructure and sustainability.
Assemblymember Adam Gray, who like Cannella represents key parts of the Central Valley, explained that the water supply situation is nuanced:
"Some type of serious investment, not just in infrastructure for conveyance and storage, but also conservation. A combination of all of the above is necessary. Certainly the bond printed today has a lot of improvements needed to be made in order to get support on the ballot, I think we all want to see that happen."
Mario Santoyo pointed out that the bond is not just about water, but it's also about the creation of jobs. The bond estimates $11 billion from the state to build infrastructure, but Santoyo states the construction would roughly cost another $30 billion:
"The way you look at it from an economic perspective is that 40 billion dollars-worth of jobs could be generated with the passage of the bond."
Ara Azhderian took into account that the bond is going to be placed on the ballot during a gubernatorial election year, which may affect whether or not the bond is passed:
"Throw in the complication a gubernatorial election, the dynamics of what the size of the bond should be, and under normal circumstances in 2014, I would say not likely…but the pressure will be felt up and down the state to do something in the face of something that is largely out of our control.
How do you think California should approach its water policy?

J Elliott says:
The relevancy of the state's population (10 vs. 40 million) to the water infrastructure is questionable. For those native Baby Boomer's born in CA, droughts have been very common since WWII. Many might remember past political solutions, such as "If its yellow, let it mellow". I.e. a system of Residential water conservation such as reduced toilet flushes, reduced lawn watering, shorter showers, and other home water savings practices. The problem with these past strategies for Residents to stop wasting water during what appeared to be routine droughts was that the major consumer of water has been and still is 'Central Valley Agriculture'; at about 80% of the State's total (+/-) water consumption.
Another relevant issue is the fact that the state relies on snow pack for seasonal water storage. When the snow pack fails to develop or melts too fast during the early spring, a summer-fall drought is almost a certainty. Hopefully if the state does pass some bond or other revenue sources to address the current historic drought, the politicians will focus on the real solutions such as water storage and more efficient Agriculture water usage technologies.

Week 8 preview in the Big Ten
Tom Dienhart
Rivals.com College Football
Big 12 |
Big East |
Pac-12 |
Penn State is 6-1 overall and 3-0 in the Big Ten, sitting on top of the Leaders Division. But it's a flimsy 6-1 because of a dubious offense.
The Nittany Lions average just 21.7 points per game, which ranks 10th in the conference. The attack ranks ninth in the Big Ten overall (373.1 ypg). The lone bright spot: Tailback Silas Redd has provided a strong rushing attack, ranking fourth in the Big Ten in rushing (100.7 ypg) while carrying 147 times for 705 yards and five touchdowns.
"I feel like we're way better than what we were in the beginning of the season," wide receiver Justin Brown said. "We're actually putting together drives. I don't think we're real good yet, but we're close to being real good and that's what Joe [Paterno] tells us every day.
"We know what we can do. We know we can move the ball and put up points. We do it in practice all the time, but we just have to carry it over to the games."
One of the issues is Paterno's insistence on continuing to play two quarterbacks. The results have been spotty.
Matt McGloin or sophomore Rob Bolden at quarterback, Penn State's offense has suffered peaks and valleys - but mostly valleys.
McGloin has been the better of the duo, but neither has impressed. McGloin ranks sixth in the Big Ten in passing efficiency, while Bolden is 12th. Combined, they have gone 108-of-210 (51.4 percent) for 1,429 yards with six touchdowns and six interceptions.
[Video: Is Penn State ripe for an upset?]
"I think they're really confident," quarterbacks coach Jay Paterno said. "I think they're a lot more confident than people think because we're moving the ball."
Red zone woes have exacerbated the situation. Penn State has just 115 points on 28 trips inside the 20, an average of 4.1 points per trip. The offense has totaled just 13 touchdowns and eight field goals while failing to score on six other occasions.
Helping mask the sluggish offense has been a favorable schedule. Penn State has beaten FCS member Indiana State, Temple, Eastern Michigan, Indiana, Iowa and Purdue. Not exactly a murderer's row. But following the trip to Northwestern on Saturday, the rest of the schedule will feature a lot of heavy lifting.
[Olin Buchanan audio mailbag: Should JoePa step down?]
There are visits from Illinois and Nebraska followed by season-ending trips to Ohio State and Wisconsin. Unless the offense begins to show more consistency, especially with the pass, the Nittany Lions will become an afterthought in a Leaders Division that also includes powerhouse Wisconsin.
"It's not anything magical that you can do," Brown said. "It's football. You got to go to work and just try to be a little tougher in the red zone and try to make plays. I feel like our team and our offense, we stick to ourselves and we have belief in ourselves that we can put points on the board and put together good drives. I feel like that just shows you the character of our team."
Best matchup: Wisconsin offensive line vs. Michigan State defensive line. Wisconsin has scored at least 35 points in each of its six games and leads the nation in scoring offense at 50.2 points per game. The Badgers average 257.5 rushing yards and 265.7 passing yards. This formidable attack gets its biggest test of the season at Michigan State. The Spartans are No. 2 nationally in total defense (186.2 ypg), No. 3 in rush defense (67.0 ypg) and No. 4 in scoring defense (10.8 ppg). The battle in the interior, especially, will be worth keeping an eye on.
Player on the spot: Northwestern LB David Nwabuisi. Northwestern's defense has been abysmal, which is why the Wildcats have been one of the most disappointing teams in the Big Ten. If a porous defense that ranks 10th in the Big Ten in scoring (30.0 ppg) gets shredded by a pedestrian Nittany Lions offense that ranks 10th in the league in scoring (21.7 ppg), the Wildcats four-season run of bowl eligibility will be in serious jeopardy. Nwabuisi needs to be tough against the run.
Keep an eye on: Illinois. How will the Fighting Illini react following their first loss of the season? The trip to Purdue could be dangerous. The Boilermakers, coming off a 23-18 loss at Penn State, could be dangerous if they can avoid the self-inflicted wounds that seemingly haunt them each Saturday. Illinois' defense did its job in the 17-7 home loss to Ohio State. But the offense flopped and needs to get back on track. This will be a great indication of QB Nathan Scheelhaase's moxie and leadership.
[Yahoo! Sports Radio: Illinois QB Nathan Scheelhaase]
Numbers game: Illinois has 26 sacks, which is tied with Texas A&M for the highest total in the nation; the Illini had 23 sacks last season. Junior E Whitney Mercilus leads the nation in sacks (10.0) and sacks per game (1.86). He also is tied for the national lead with five forced fumbles.
Quotes of the week
Pat Fitzgerald, on his defense's propensity for giving up big plays
"They have an opinion. Doesn't carry much weight, but they have an opinion. We're with him every day." - Michigan coach Brady Hoke, on the calls by some fans to have Devin Gardner take over for Denard Robinson at quarterback
[Video: Dienhart's midseason Heisman invitations]
"I know there was a Tweet early on when Russell [Wilson] signed. I already made a point of that so they're aware of it. I know some stuff popped up on Saturday. Our guys are kind of in a mode. I don't really worry about policing these guys. I think they know the difference between right and wrong." - Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema, on advising his players to avoid saying anything inflammatory before the Michigan State game
"Absolutely. I certainly think so; so do the players. We just have to win enough games. We're good enough, and we're going in that direction. And I believe that, when it's all said and done, we're going to have a heck of a football team if we can stay healthy. Again, we're a lot better than we were three weeks ago." - Purdue coach Danny Hope, on whether his 3-3 team can reach a bowl with games left against Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Iowa and Indiana
Poll watch: The Big Ten leads all conferences with six teams ranked in the initial BCS poll. Wisconsin is highest at No. 6. After the Badgers are Nebraska (13th), Michigan State (16th), Michigan (18th), Penn State (21st) and Illinois (23rd).
Etc.: Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis acknowledged in a written statement Tuesday that the Big Ten has notified the university of a possible unsportsmanlike conduct violation, stemming from the Spartans' 28-14 victory over Michigan on Saturday. Michigan State officials confirmed that the punch thrown by Spartans DE William Gholston at Michigan OT Taylor Lewan during the second half of last week's game is the act that is being investigated.
Michigan and Ohio State are off this week.
Minnesota lost its first two Big Ten games by a combined 103-17 and plays host to Nebraska this week.
Damarlo Belcher needs three receptions to become Indiana's career leader in the category.
Wisconsin has won eight consecutive Big Ten games, with an average margin of victory of 26.8 points. That includes three victories against teams ranked in the top 15.
Northwestern hasn't beaten Penn State since a 14-7 win in 2004.
Illinois WR A.J. Jenkins leads the nation with 895 receiving yards.
Minnesota QB Marqueis Gray is expected to be ready to go Saturday against Nebraska after being nagged by a toe injury.
Wisconsin WR Nick Toon missed last week's game against Indiana with a sore foot, but practiced this week and should be ready to go at Michigan State.

The Mobile County Public School System is getting ready to implement a district-wide parent notification system that will help reach the families of more than 63,000 students at 98 schools throughout the county. The district plans to use the system, SchoolMessenger, to increase annual yearly progress (AYP) funding, streamline emergency contact, and enhance general home-school communication.
The deployment is aimed at helping the district boost AYP in three key areas: enrollment, attendance, and academic achievement. By keeping in close contact with parents of students showing need in those areas, the district intends to enhance its overall numbers, increasing access to federal funding.
"With a slowdown in the economy, school systems are under increased pressure this year to maximize the budget allocations possible through AYP," said Roy Nichols, MCPSS superintendent, in a prepared statement. "We believe our SchoolMessenger notification system will help families get more involved in their child's education throughout the year, and can have a positive impact on funding as well. It's a win-win for the school system, our schools, and the community-at-large."
The system also provides the district emergency calling capabilities, with the potential to send thousands of messages in just minutes to reach parents in the event of both minor and major occurrences. Other uses for the system include general announcements, event reminders, and notification of statewide testing schedules.

Lent has begun! Sign up today for a Lent devotional experience.
Many humbling confounding questions God had put to Job, in the foregoing chapter; now, in this chapter, I. He demands an answer to them, Job 40:1, 2. II. Job submits in a humble silence, Job 40:3-5. III. God proceeds to reason with him, for his conviction, concerning the infinite distance and disproportion between him and God, showing that he was by no means an equal match for God. He challenges him (Job 40:6, 7) to vie with him, if he durst, for justice (Job 40:8), power (Job 40:9), majesty (Job 40:10), and dominion over the proud (Job 40:11-14), and he gives an instance of his power in one particular animal, here called "Behemoth," Job 40:15-24.

How to use Django with Gunicorn¶
Gunicorn ('Green Unicorn') is a pure-Python WSGI server for UNIX. It has no dependencies and is easy to install and use.
Installing Gunicorn¶
Installing gunicorn is as easy as sudo pip install gunicorn. For more details, see the gunicorn documentation.
Running Django in Gunicorn as a generic WSGI application¶
When Gunicorn is installed, a gunicorn command is available which starts the Gunicorn server process. At its simplest, gunicorn just needs to be called with a the location of a WSGI application object.:
gunicorn [OPTIONS] APP_MODULE
Where APP_MODULE is of the pattern MODULE_NAME:VARIABLE_NAME. The module name should be a full dotted path. The variable name refers to a WSGI callable that should be found in the specified module.
So for a typical Django project, invoking gunicorn would look like:
gunicorn myproject.wsgi:application
(This requires that your project be on the Python path; the simplest way to ensure that is to run this command from the same directory as your manage.py file.)
See Gunicorn's deployment documentation for additional tips.
