Ford Explorer Used SUV Buyer's Guide: Introduction
Whether you credit it with, or blame it for starting the 1990's SUV boom, the Ford Explorer is the single most successful SUV ever launched by any auto company. Routinely selling at the rate of some 400,000 units annually in its early years on the market, the Explorer was the perfect combination of style, utility, and passenger capacity.
Favored both by young families and single adults, the Explorer's adventurous image displaced station wagons in the minds of those who engaged in outdoors recreational activities. It did the same for those who wanted to look like they engaged in outdoor recreational activities too.
At the peak of the model's popularity however, a controversy emerged when Explorer models fitted with Firestone ATX, ATX II, and Wilderness AT tires demonstrated a propensity for tire failure resulting in rollover crashes. The resulting video footage of Explorers beside the highway on their backs with their wheels in the air like hapless turtles, well, let's just say that put something of a damper on sales.
Introduced in 1990, as a 1991 model, there have been five generations of the Ford Explorer offered to date. This retrospective picks up with the second generation Explorer, introduced in 1995.

Based as it had been on the Ford Bronco II, which itself was based on the Ford Ranger pickup truck, the first generation Explorer was decidedly truck-like in its ride and handling. As more and more people started migrating from cars to the Explorer, and expressed a desire for the Explorer to behave more like a car, Ford's engineering team responsible for the SUV began to make changes to add more comfort to the formula.
One such change was the switchover to an independent front suspension system for the second generation Explorer. Previously the model had used what Ford referred to as a Twin Traction Beam front suspension system, the roots of which went all the way back to the Twin I-Beam suspension system first fitted to the Ford F-150 pickup truck in the late 1960's.
The GEN2 version of the hot selling SUV debuted in two models, the two-door Explorer Sport and the four-door Explorer. Both were available with either rear- or all-wheel drive. Adding considerable complexity (and profit) to the ordering process, within each model line there were a variety of trim levels as well.

Regardless of model or trim, the 1995 Explorer debuted with a 4.0-liter V6 engine capable of generating 160 horsepower and 225 ft-lbs of torque, on regular unleaded gasoline. A five-speed manual transmission was standard on lower trim levels, while a four-speed automatic was optional. Towing capacity was 4,800 pounds.
The trim levels offered were XL, XLT, Expedition, Eddie Bauer, and Limited. Explorer XL was offered with either two doors or four, Sport was two doors only, XLT was four doors only, and Expedition was two doors only, while Eddie Bauer and Limited were four doors only.
As standard features, the Explorer XL used a set of fifteen-inch steel wheels, bucket seats, power brakes, ABS at all four wheels, vinyl upholstery, power steering, air conditioning, intermittent windshield wipers, and an AM/FM audio system.
Options were a pair of Captain's Chairs, a limited-slip differential, a rear window defroster, a cassette-based audio system, alloy wheels, cruise control, a tilt steering wheel, power windows, dark tinted privacy glass for the rearmost windows, a rear window wiper, power door locks, a set of power operated exterior mirrors, and a roof rack.
Moving up to the two-door only Sport got all of the XL's standard features and added fifteen-inch alloy wheels, along with driver and passenger front airbags. Cloth upholstery was substituted for vinyl, cruise control, a remote rear hatch release, leather steering wheel trim and power accessories (windows, mirrors and door locks) rounded out the Explorer XL offering.
The Explorer Sport's options list featured bucket seats, Captain's Chairs, a center console, a CD changer, foglights, keyless entry, a limited-slip differential, an overhead console, a power antenna, a power operated moonroof, side steps, rear A/C controls, leather upholstery, an alarm system, power seats for the driver and front passenger, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, a roof rack, a premium audio system by JBL, a cassette player, and rear audio controls.
The four-door Explorer XLT was equipped identically to the Sport in terms of both standard features and options. The four-wheel drive only Expedition was essentially the same setup as the Sport as well, but added chrome wheels and skid plates to the standard offerings. Similarly, Expedition's options list mirrored Sport's, with the addition of a camper towing package. Eddie Bauer was offered with both rear- and four-wheel drive but otherwise was a four-door Expedition. Limited came with everything listed above as standard equipment, except a CD changer, a limited slip differential, and the moonroof. Those items were offered as options.

For 1996, a V8 engine was offered for Explorer and fitted to XLT, Eddie Bauer and Limited trimmed versions of the SUV. Paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, the 5.0-liter V8 produced 210 horsepower and 280 ft-lbs of torque on regular unleaded gasoline. Towing capacity was upped to 6,500 pounds. Rather than four-wheel drive, the V8 models were all-wheel drive, which means, they were driven by all four wheels all the time, as opposed to the four-wheel drive model's ability to be switched in and out of four-wheel drive.
The V6 engine got an optional overhead-cam variant. Still displacing 4.0-liters, the new configuration produced 205 horsepower and 245 ft-lbs of torque. Offered as standard equipment on the Eddie Bauer and Limited Explorers, it was an option for all the others. Four-wheel drive models got an electronic transfer case and the four-speed automatic transmission was replaced with a five-speed automatic. BTW, here's a bit of trivia, the first American auto to get a five-speed automatic transmission was the (you guessed it) Ford Explorer. Traction control was fitted to all 1997 Explorer models as standard equipment.
All Explorers got a new tailgate, in addition to reworked taillights and a new rear bumper. Two-door XL models were discontinued, the anti-theft system was made standard across the board, and the airbag system was recalibrated to deploy with less force. Steering wheel mounted audio and climate controls debuted, along with new audio systems on the upper trim level Limited and Eddie Bauer models.
After reworking the back end for '98, Ford's Explorer team turned its attention to the rest of the exterior for '99. New fog lamps, rocker panel moldings, wheel moldings, running boards (lighted on Eddie Bauer and Limited), bumpers, and wheels were prescribed. Side impact airbags were introduced as an option for all Explorers. An audible reverse sensing system was added to the optional offerings for all but XL Explorers, along with a rear load leveling suspension system. The Explorer XLS added power windows and door locks, along with chromed wheels, side steps and a roof rack to the XL. The integrated child rear seat option was eliminated.
Eddie Bauer models got a leather wrapped steering wheel with climate, audio and cruise control switches. The trailering package was added to XLT Sport, Eddie Bauer and Limited models with the V8, as standard equipment. XLS became a model in its own right when the four-door XL was conscribed to fleet-only sales and 2000 was the year in which the sit hit the hand as far as the Explorer rollover controversy was concerned. The Explorer's sales numbers dropped precipitously and would never be the same after 2000.

Explorer Sport Trac debuted, taking the Explorer concept full circle by mounting a small pickup truck bed aft of its rear seat. Sport Trac used a longer wheelbase and was longer in overall length to accommodate the truck bed while maintaining rear-seat legroom. The flared-fender box featured a molded in liner and a 12v DC power outlet. The bed could be "lengthened" using the optional tubular cage designed to fit over the Sport Trac's lowered tailgate. The rear bench seat folded and the rear window could be lowered. Offered in rear- or four-wheel drive, Explorer Sport Trac was fitted with the overhead-cam V6 and the five-speed automatic transmission.
In other Explorer news for 2001, the manual transmission option was dropped, along with the overhead valve engine, leaving the overhead cam powerplant as the sole V6 offering.
A mild facelift updated the look a bit and the suspension was reworked in an attempt to make the Explorer more stable.

Turned out Ford's engineers had long warned about the tipsiness of the Explorer, particularly in light of the fact the Bronco II—with which the first two generations of the SUV had much in common—was notorious for rolling over as well.
One of the prescribed fixes Ford's engineers had been pushing for all along was a wider stance and a longer wheelbase; both of which were incorporated into the redesign, along with an independent rear suspension system. An added bonus of the independent suspension system was a lower rear floor, which enabled the incorporation of a third-row seat.
Larger door openings made ingress and egress easier, by lowering the step-in height. While Explorer Sport Trac made the jump to GEN3 (though still based on the GEN2 platform) two-door Explorers were discontinued.

For 2002, four trim levels were offered, XLS, XLT, Eddie Bauer, and Limited.
The base engine was the overhead cam, 210-horsepower 4.0-liter V6, which made 250 ft-lbs of torque. The 5.0-liter V8 didn't make the jump, but was instead replaced by a 4.6-liter overhead cam V8, which made 240 horsepower and 280 ft-lbs of torque. Towing capacity was upped to a maximum of 7,300 pounds (when properly equipped)
Standard equipment for Explorer XLS consisted of a set of sixteen-inch steel wheels, a full-size underbody mounted spare tire, variable intermittent wipers, privacy glass, a rear defogger, and an intermittent rear wiper.

A six-disc changer replaced the XLT's single disc player and a subwoofer was added to the audio system as well.
Explorer Limited added heat for the front passenger's seat, cup holders for the third row, and rear A/C (for three-row models only).
The 2002 Ford Explorer's safety kit included ABS, child seat anchors, disc brakes all around, child safety locks for the rear doors, an engine immobilizer, fog lights, delayed off automatic headlights, a center lap belt for the rear seat, pretensioners for the front seatbelts, and electronic brakeforce distribution. A late addition to the 2002 model year configuration was Roll Stability Control, which used sensors mounted around the Explorer's body to detect a potential roll over and try to compensate accordingly before tipping over. Ford also introduced anti-skid technology for V8-powered Explorers, which it dubbed "Advance Trac".

For 2003, the Explorer's feature set was repackaged so a couple of new sets of trim lines could be added. This expanded the Explorer to seven trim lines—XLS, XLS Sport, XLT, XLT Sport, NBX, Eddie Bauer and Limited.
For MY'03, The XLS came standard with an automatic transmission and a CD player. The XLS Sport got alloy wheels, side step-up bars, wheel lip moldings, an upgraded center console and floor mats. Differentiating the XLT models were a chrome grille and metallic interior accents, while XLT Sport got special platinum gloss exterior trim and seventeen-inch machine-finished alloy wheels.
New for 2003, was the Explorer NBX model, which, in addition to unique exterior trim, got its own seventeen-inch alloy wheels. Explorer NBX ran all-terrain tires, a Yakima roof rack, rubber floor mats, and a cargo area liner. The 2003 Explorer Eddie Bauer also got a set of seventeen-inch wheels.
The 2003 Ford Explorer Limited was distinguished by dint of its chromed exterior trim and wheels, leather-upholstery for its center console cover, and its new wood grain interior trim.
Explorer's 2003 option list contained a six-disc, 290-watt sound system, rear-seat climate controls, a power moon roof, and a rear-seat DVD-based video entertainment system.

The fifth generation Explorer debuted on the Internet on July 26, 2010, using Ford's Explorer Facebook page as its venue. For the first time in its existence, the Explorer was offered on a non truck-based platform, eschewing its traditional body-on-frame construction. Also for the first time, front-wheel drive was employed for the Explorer.
The exterior treatment featured a floating roof design, similar to the one employed by Land Rover. The body was more sculpted in appearance than previous Explorers and it wore the three-bar grille Ford fitted to all its models during the period it was introduced.

The Eddie Bauer trim was discontinued, leaving Explorer buyers three trim levels to choose from; base, XLT and Limited. Standard equipment for the base model included seventeen-inch steel wheels, privacy glass, integrated blind spot mirrors, roof rails, cruise control, a six-way power actuated driver's seat with manual recline, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, the MyFord trip computer, and a six-speaker CD-based sound system with an auxiliary audio input jack.

To enhance the Explorer XLT, buyers could opt for Ford's Rapid Spec Option Group 201A. This alternative fitted a rearview camera, a dual-zone automatic climate control system, and an eight-speaker audio system. The Option Group also incorporated Ford's Driver Connect Package, which consisted of an auto-dimming rearview mirror, the touch-sensitive MyFord Touch electronics controls, Ford's Sync hands-free telephone and entertainment system, a video display screen, two USB ports, and RCA video input jacks.

The big news for 2012 is the debut of Ford's four-cylinder EcoBoost engine in the Explorer. Producing 240 horsepower and 270 ft-lbs of torque, the EcoBoost engine is just as powerful as the old 4.0-liter V6 engines Ford previously fitted to the Explorer.
Ford Explorer Used SUV Buyer's Guide: Summary
America's most popular SUV has come a long way over the course of its five generations. The model has endured controversy, changed from a truck-based SUV to a crossover utility vehicle, and still it soldiers on.
While the glory days of its all-encompassing popularity may be behind it, the good news— if you're looking for a pre-owned one— is there are vast numbers of them out there to choose from. So take your time, don't be pressured and don't settle for anything less than exactly what you're looking for, because believe us, it's out there.
Shop carefully though, there have been a lot of Explorer recalls and you can bet anything this popular has been subjected to a wide variety of owners, all of whom may not share your ideas when it comes to the definition of well-maintained.
A vehicle history report is absolutely mandatory for the Explorer, as is an Internet search for recall information. And, buying an Explorer without a pre-purchase inspection by a trusted professional mechanic is a recipe for huge repair bills.

(Sports Network) - Nick Young is starting to get acclimated with scoring in
bunches for the Philadelphia 76ers and will try to lead his team to
consecutive wins for the first time since late November Friday night versus
the Sacramento Kings.
Young is averaging 17.8 ppg in his last four games and has started each of the
previous three. The first-year Sixer scored 18 points and buried 3-of-6 3-
pointers in Wednesday's 92-84 victory over the Washington Wizards. Young is
also averaging 3.0 assists over the past four games and has four steals with
four turnovers.
Young, a former member of the Wizards, was benched by head coach Doug Collins
on Jan. 12 versus Houston and learned a lesson from it.
"That DNP, it hurt," Young said. "Sitting on the sideline, I don't want to get
back to that. I'm starting to buy into what the coaches are talking about."
Jrue Holiday scored a game-high 21 points, while Thaddeus Young and Lavoy
Allen each netted 14 points for the Sixers, who are 2-1 on a season-long
eight-game homestand and 13-11 at Wells Fargo Center.
Spencer Hawes ended with 12 points and 11 boards in the win. The 76ers haven't
recorded back-to-back wins since winning three in a row from Nov. 25-30 and
will also entertain the Magic, Pacers, Bobcats and Clippers on the trek.
Points in the paint has been an aid to Philly's recent success and it is
outscoring opponents by an average of 8.7 points down low in the past six
games. Holiday, meanwhile, is averaging 23.8 ppg in the past eight contests.
Sacramento will continue its six-game road trip Friday and dropped a 99-81
decision at Boston the last time out on Wednesday. Paul Pierce led six Celtics
in double-figures with 16 points.
Tyreke Evans had a game-high 19 points and 11 rebounds, while DeMarcus Cousins
added 13 points for the Kings, who have lost five of their past six games and
were outscored, 37-14, in the decisive second quarter.
"I think we played a pretty good basketball game except for the second
quarter," Sacramento coach Keith Smart said. "If you look at the rest of the
game, we played a pretty decent game. But we couldn't make up for that ground
that we gave up in the second quarter."
Evans is averaging 15.9 ppg in the last seven games for the Kings, owners of a
lowly 5-18 record away from California's capital city. Sacramento, which was
coming off a two-point win at Washington and is 1-2 on the current swing, will
also visit the Knicks and Jazz before returning to Sleep Train Arena.
The Kings need Cousins to get back to his dominant form. He has averages of
10.5 points and 5.0 rebounds in the previous four games after averaging 21.7
ppg and 13.3 rpg six games prior to his dropoff.
Sacramento lost the lone meeting with Philadelphia a season ago, a 112-85
blowout at Wells Fargo Center, and will host the Sixers March 24. The 76ers
have won eight of the last 10 meetings with the Kings.

I can well understand the tank pricing !!
I've got at least one in that category, but after using it for 3 years I wouldn't
trade it for a dozen other lenses ! (It's the 17-35 AFs f2.8 Nikon...
wonderful lens on ever count IMHO!)
I'm looking around for a make of lens to try for an extra long tele >300mm
f4 or better, to be my wildlife lens. I don't want to spend a fortune on it
(a Nikon one is $2K or more, even used) as it won't see everyday service.
It sounds like my original ideas of find one that fits, try it and return if it
isn't what I like; is going to be the way to go.
I've also used Vivitar (do they even exist anymore??), Sigma, Tokina, and
Samyang/Phoenix lens over the years. Of course I've used the camera make
lenses for Minolta, Mamiya, Nikon, and Rollie. Of all the "off brand" I've only
found 1 (a Vivitar One 100-300 f3.5) that I considered a real good lens. All of the
others had several failing points, some I could live with / some I couldn't.
I currently have a Tamrom 2x AF-Nikon converter which I would rate as barely
OK for occasional use if I absolutely have to. It's main failing is edge/corner
softness and inability to hold a heavy tele "properly".
It's interesting that you mention the focus issues (Tony), what reading I've
done on "off brand" lenses seems to indicate that very few of them have
the focus SNAP of a manufacturers lens. For my everyday lenses I only use
AFs Nikons now, gotten spoiled, but I've found a couple of AFd lenses that
perform acceptably. For my current search I've kinda accepted that it'll be a
hunt focus lens.
John - what would you consider a good price for the 17-50 f2.8 ?

Innovative Approach for Practical Action
Washington, DC. March 16, 2006 - The National Wildlife Federation, the nation's leading conservation advocacy and education organization, is making its 70th annual meeting in New Orleans carbon neutral with Carbonfund.org, as a practical step to combat global warming.
"This is a first step, but it shows that we have choices to reduce our impact on global warming," says Larry Schweiger, President of the National Wildlife Federation. "Using the tools of a free market system, we can make a difference in combating the threat global warming poses to wildlife and to our children's future."
This year's annual meeting, being held at the Wyndham Hotel March 16 through 18, focuses on restoring Louisiana's embattled coastline as well as the threat of global warming. Among the noted speakers will be Steve Johnson, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency who will address the opening general session.
The National Wildlife Federation is taking action against climate change by teaming with Carbonfund.org to offset the carbon emission impact of the conference. With some 350 people, including staff and delegates from 47 state and territorial affiliate organizations, traveling to New Orleans, the annual event will produce carbon emissions caused by air travel, ground transportation, and the use of facilities in the hotel and city. Carbonfund.org and the National Wildlife Federation will offset the carbon dioxide emissions by supporting energy efficiency projects that reduce an equal amount of emissions. The National Wildlife Federation is committed to accounting for its carbon expenditures.
"We are thrilled that the National Wildlife Federation is offsetting the climate impact of its annual conference with Carbonfund.org," says Lesley Marcus Carlson, President of Carbonfund.org. "Global warming's impact on wildlife is already evident and will have a terrible impact unless organizations and individuals across the United States start taking steps like this one. The National Wildlife Federation is, once again, taking a leadership role in protecting our environment by taking the easy and affordable step of offsetting their carbon footprint from the conference.
Carbonfund.org is a non-profit organization whose goal is to make carbon offsets and climate protection easy, affordable and a normal way of life for every individual and business. Carbon offsets - also called renewable energy certificates and 'green tags' – enable individuals and businesses to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in one location, where it is cost effective, to offset the emissions they are responsible for in their normal activities, like home, office, driving or air travel emissions. For instance, a clean, zero CO2 wind farm can offset the carbon dioxide produced by a coal-fired power plant that powers a home.
The National Wildlife Foundation, via Carbonfund.org, is supporting wind and energy efficiency projects that subsidize the cost of clean, renewable energy that also helps develop the technology.
The average American is directly responsible for about 10 tons of carbon dioxide annually through their home, car and air travel, and their average total annual impact rises to an average of 24 tons when factoring in the purchase of goods and services. Conferences, with the heavy reliance on air travel and other transportation, are an easy first step for any organization to offset. Because conferences also often bring decision makers together, for Carbonfund.org, it is an excellent opportunity to educate and demonstrate that being responsible is both simple and environmentally effective.

'Sensory-sensitive' take in a film
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Sissonville resident John Ward hadn't heard much about the film, but he was still excited to see "The Croods" on Tuesday morning.
"I like the movies," said Ward, 52.
For many people, a trip to a movie theater like Park Place Stadium Cinemas is common. But for those with developmental disabilities, like Ward, dark movie theaters with their crowds and loud noises can be forbidding places.
On Tuesday morning, though, the downtown Charleston movie theater was a little more inviting for those with autism and other disabilities.
The theater partnered with Arc of the Three Rivers for the city's first "sensory-sensitive" cinema event.
"It's really cool for the theater to open up like this," said Tim Conaway, who works at Arc of the Three Rivers, an agency that works with people with developmental and intellectual disabilities. "A lot of the folks don't get an opportunity to come to stuff like this because of the fear of crowds and stuff like that."
Conaway said the people he works with had been looking forward to seeing the movie.
"For the last few days [the excitement has] just been building up," Conaway said.
For the special showing of "The Croods," theater lights were kept halfway up, and the volume on the movie was halfway down. There were no on-screen notices to keep quiet during the film.
Moviegoers were allowed to bring in snacks to suit special diets. The movie, typically a 3D computer-animation film, was shown in 2D instead. The theater opened early Tuesday for the special 9:30 a.m. showing, which was open to the general public.
Jennifer McCafferty, an employee at Arc of the Three Rivers, came up with the idea after reading an article about sensory-sensitive cinema. None of the movie theaters in the state offered such a service, so she approached Greater Huntington Theatre Corp., which owns Park Place, with the idea.
The city of Charleston also helped by opening up its nearby parking garage for the early screening. Mayor Danny Jones met with people as they came through the theater's front doors.
If Tuesday's event went well, McCafferty hoped to make sensory-sensitive cinema a regular event.
"Our mission is we are trying to bring awareness of people with disabilities and to erase the stigma," she said.
Theater manager Mike Tawney said Greater Huntington Theatres was happy to help. He said the locally owned company is not bound by corporate policies that would prohibit such an event.
"It's just common decency, I would think," Tawney said.

[Digital Publishing Suite Newsstand apps on iOS 5] [with Colin Fleming 14 October 2011] Hi, Colin Fleming here. I'm Adobe's Digital Publishing evangelist. We're going to talk a little bit about Newsstand. Now, earlier this week, Apple released the new iOS 5, and one of the new features is Newsstand. The nice thing about Newsstand is my publications--my periodical content-- be it magazines or newspapers, appear in this special zone on my iPad. That helps to isolate and really promote my content and separate it from the vastness of applications in general. So I wanted to give you a quick update on some of the publishers who have built applications using the Digital Publishing Suite which supports Newsstand. Now, these publishers include Reader's Digest, various titles from Bonnier, National Geographic, and a number of Conde Nast titles. We can see here in Newsstand on my iPad, I've got Reader's Digest, and when I go into Reader's Digest, I see the opportunity to subscribe of access content as a subscriber to the print version. And I see the library of content that I can either purchase, download, or read. Now let's take a look at another title, for instance, maybe National Geographic. So one of the cool things I can see here with National Geographic is I've got a new issue ready to download, and it actually started all on its own. A Newsstand application can download the information in the background so that once it's all there, I'll be notified of the new material ready for me to read, and I just go and open it up. I don't have to wait for the download to occur. So if I come back to Newsstand and take a peek here, the last detail I want to share with you is that one of the cool aspects for a publisher is that the most recent content is what's visible in the newsstand. It's not the last issue that I bought as a reader. It's the currently available issue for any reader. And it's important to note that this Newsstand support is only available to Digital Publishing Suite subscribers at the Pro or Enterprise level. That's where you're going to get this interaction with Newsstand and an improved experience for your readers. So there you go, a quick peek at what's really cool about Newsstand conent for Pro and Enterprise customers of DPS. I hope you enjoyed this. Thanks.

Authorities say that Susan Morissette, her boyfriend and one of her children were threatened with a loaded gun wielded by her ex-husband, Wilfred Morissette.
WINSLOW, Maine (AP) _ Police have arrested the ex-husband of Maine's Republican party vice chairwoman on charges that he threatened her, her boyfriend and one of her children with a loaded gun.
The Morning Sentinel reported that police said Wilfred Morissette was intoxicated when he pulled the weapon on Susan Morissette, who is also a former state representative. The paper reported the incident occurred on Sunday night outside of Susan Morissette's home in Winslow. The couple divorced in 2012.
Police charged Morissette with three counts of aggravated reckless conduct, two counts of domestic violence criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon and one count of criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, all felonies. He is due in court on July 15.
Attempts to reach Wilfred Morissette were unsuccessful.

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says fostering healthy eating habits in young people is crucial to maintaining the nation's security.
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) _ Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack is emphasizing the need for America's youth to have healthy eating habits, saying it's a matter of national security as well as educational achievement and health care.
Speaking Thursday at the Barbara Barbara Bush Children's Hospital at Maine Medical Center in Portland, Vilsack said when children are healthy, school performance improves and health care costs go down.
He says poor nutritional habits have an impact on the nation's military readiness. He says there's a shrinking pool of young people who are considered fit enough to serve in the military, in part because they're overweight or obese.
Following his talk at Maine Medical Center, Vilsack was visiting the U.S. Coast Guard station in South Portland to underscore his point.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Despite an official email alert to Southeast Washington residents of a "confirmed" mountain lion sighting in the 3600-block of Highwood Drive near Pope Branch Park, the city's chief animal control officer says there is no credible evidence that a big cat is on the loose.
"This is something that seems to happen every October," said Chief Scott Giacoppo of the Washington Humane Society Animal Control division. "Last year we had reports from Glover Park."
Giacoppo said his agency has even used a professional wildlife tracker in the search for evidence, but has never turned up any confirmation after several years of reports.
The latest mountain lion sighting was reported Wednesday evening by Linda Wiley who compared the size of the animal she saw to a Great Dane.
"I don't feel comfortable coming outside right now," Wiley said.
The Mayor's Office of Neighborhood engagement posted alerts on Facebook and Twitter, and sent an email to subscribers of the police district 5-D listserv.
Mountain lions, also known as pumas or cougars weigh about 150 pounds. Wild populations of the big cats are considered extinct east of the Mississippi River with the exception of a small population of pumas in the Florida Everglades.
The last recorded human encounter with a mountain lion in the region was in 1887 when an animal was shot in Virginia.
Even so, wildlife workers consider sightings worthy of investigation, especially after a bear was captured off Indian Lane in NW Washington in June.
Giacoppo and three other wildlife officers investigated the woods behind Wiley's house but found no evidence of a mountain lion.
"We're ready for anything," said Giacoppo.
Giacoppo theorized that residents might be encountering coyotes, which are much smaller than a mountain lion but have long tails and could be mistaken in a fleeting sighting by people unfamiliar with wildlife. Coyotes, traditionally a western animal, have migrated east and been repeatedly confirmed in DC parks and suburban areas.

José Angel Moreno, United States Attorney
Southern District of Texas
Two men have been arrested on charges of encouraging illegal immigration, United States Attorney José Angel Moreno announced today. The indictment, returned yesterday by a federal grand jury in Houston, was unsealed this afternoon at the initial appearance of Samuel Andrew Boling, 34, of Cypress, Texas, and Carrol Wayne Hall, 75, of Houston, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy Johnson.
Boling and Hall are charged in an eight-count indictment with conspiring to encourage illegal immigration, encouraging illegal immigration for the purpose of private financial gain and making false statements to federal agents. They were arrested this morning, without incident, by agents with United States Department of State, Diplomatic Security Services.
The indictment alleges that from late 2004 and continuing through January 2008, Boling and Hall operated a Houston-based company known as HB Services, which marketed itself as specializing in the procurement of H-2B visas, a category of non-immigrant visas that allow U.S. employers to hire alien workers for temporary non-agricultural work. Employers seeking to hire workers under the H-2B Visa Program must first certify to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) that there are no qualified U.S. workers to perform the job and that hiring alien workers will not adversely affect local wages. If DOL certifies the employer's application, the employer submits additional paperwork to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) with the names of foreign workers who intend to apply for H-2B visas. The workers then apply for their H-2B visa overseas at a U.S. embassy or consulate. The number of H-2B visas is capped annually at 66,000.
According to the indictment, HB Services solicited various American employers concerning the need for foreign workers. The employers were falsely told that, under the H-2B Visa Program, it was necessary to request significantly more foreign workers than actually needed by the employer. HB Services hired attorneys to prepare paperwork submitted to DOL and CIS which reflected the inflated and bogus request for workers. Once approved, Boling and Hall arranged with individuals in Mexico to recruit and assist aliens with the H-2B visa application process, including arranging interviews for the aliens with the U.S. Consulate in Monterrey. Boling and Hall then traveled to Mexico to collect fees paid by the Mexican aliens for the H-2B visas. Boling and Hall also arranged for transportation of the aliens by bus from Mexico to the Social Security Administration Office in Houston where, after applying for cards, the aliens were dismissed without further arrangement for their employment.
The indictment also provides notice that, in the event of conviction, the United States will seek a money judgment against Boling and Hall of up to $2,525,000.
Following their initial appearance today, both men were ordered released pending trial on unsecured bonds of $100,000.
The maximum penalty, upon conviction, for conspiring to encourage illegal immigration and encouraging illegal immigration for the purpose of private financial gain is 10 years imprisonment and a fine of $250,000. The maximum penalty for making a false statement to federal agents is five years imprisonment at a $250,000 fine.
The investigation leading to the charges was conducted by agents with the United States Department of State, Diplomatic Security Services. Assistant United States Attorney David Searle is prosecuting the case.
An indictment is a formal accusation of criminal conduct, not evidence. A defendant is presumed innocent unless convicted through due process of law.

Public Affairs Officer

Playground promises, more delays
Cunningham Park rehab budgeted since 2012
"That park should be up and running probably, I want to say, February 2014," said John Williams, Riviera Beach Parks & Recreation Director. That was last summer.
Today, Cunningham Park remains overgrown, rundown and an eyesore to neighbors.
"Now we have nothing there," said Leslie, who has lived across the street from the park all of her life. She remembers playing in the park as a kid. "It used to, very much so, be alive. Kids used to play here all the time."
Today, the kids who stop by, don't have reason to stay. They haven't for the past few years.
Two years ago, the Contact 5 Investigators first uncovered the dangers at Cunningham Park. The playground structure on the property was riddled with rusted metal. Portions of the plastic had melted over time and the yellow tape put in place to keep kids out, had faded and ripped over time.
After we brought the dangerous conditions to the city's attention, the playground structure was taken down. Then came the promises for a brand new one, complete with a new playground, a water feature and an amphitheater.
John Williams, Parks & Recreation Director told the Contact 5 Investigators that a new park would be complete by Spring 2013. When the park wasn't complete, he gave NewsChannel 5 another date of completion, February 2014.
"We did run into some snags," he said last July.
A portion of the park is owned by the school district. Williams, at the time, explained that the city was trying to figure out if the city would be able to obtain that portion.
Wednesday morning, Contact 5 Investigators were scheduled to speak with Mr. Williams for an update. When we arrived at his office, he wasn't there. His assistant said we weren't on the calendar and that she didn't know where he was.
Calls and texts to Mr. Williams were not returned.
We did catch up with Riviera Beach City Council Chair, Judy Davis.
Davis told the Contact 5 Investigators she was recently made aware of the park's renovations plans. Records show Cunningham Park has been budgeted for a $700,000 facelift since 2012.
"Government, the wheels turn very very slowly," Davis said. "Riviera Beach is used to waiting for things."
The question is, how much longer?
"Please, please, please put something out there for the kids for the summer," said Leslie.
The latest design plans for this new park will be on display Thursday. Neighbors will have a chance to weigh in from 6-8 p.m. at the Lindsey Davis Community Center.

MIAMI - A 33-year-old was back home Wednesday after he was grazed by a bullet on New Year's Eve. It happened on the 2400 block of NW 32nd Avenue.
Eyner Melendez, 33, said he was celebrating 2013 and his son's first birthday with his family when he felt something hit his arm. A stray bullet had pierced the skin on his arm.
"Mucha sangre," said Melendez. There was a lot of blood.
"Does it hurt?" Local 10's Ross Palombo asked.
"Yes!" said Melendez.
Melendez said gunfire in Nicaragua is a New Year's Eve tradition.
"So, you're not mad?" asked Palombo.
"No," Melendez answered.
Sulman Galdamez, Melendez's wife, was holding a torn shirt that she now believes is a sacred souvenir. It was the safe ending to a shooting that the family sees as a sign from God.
"I was scared, very nervous," Galdamez said.
She said she saw it happen and saw that it safely missed her husband's head and vital organs.
"It's close to the heart, you see?" said Galamez
It also missed the very spot where Melendez usually carries his son on his arms.
"You know, all the time, he carries him here. Thank God he wasn't with the baby," said Galdamez.
Witnesses and police said no one saw where the bullet came from and nobody is sure why it happened.
"Why you have to shoot somebody only to celebrate New Year's? It's stupid," said Rudy Aponte, who witnessed the shooting.
Melendez believes his survival is actually Divine Providence.
God, his family says, stopped the bullet to bring Melendez safely to a New Year.
"God saved him," Galdamez said.

Investor's health problems created a company
How do you start a thriving biotech company?
The most painful way might be as follows: You're Jay Lichter, managing partner of Avalon Ventures, and you're driving your car near the post office in La Jolla, and all of a sudden you have a horrible attack of vertigo.
You pull the car to the curb, convince yourself you're dying of a heart attack, notice you are still alive after 15 minutes, no pain in the chest, but you still can't sit up, can't get out of the car. You call your secretary, who takes you to the hospital where your wife is waiting.
The doctors run the tests and it turns out to be Meniere's, a disease of the inner ear, which you note after quickly Googling, strikes 615,000 Americans each year. The doctor staring into your own ear happens to be Jeffrey Harris, chief of otolaryngology at UCSD, and so you soon suggest starting a company together.
You call it Otonomy (ears plus "autonomy" in case you don't want to sell it off later) and you patent a sustained-release steroid gel that makes you and a whole lot of other people with vertigo or bad ringing in their ears (tinnitus) feel better. You later come up with a steroid antibiotic to treat toddlers with chronic ear infections.
Lichter, 51, now long recovered, leads life sciences investments for Avalon's $200 million Fund X. Lichter was a postdoc from Yale in pharmacogenetics before he came to San Diego in 1993 to co-found Sequana with Avalon originator Kevin Kinsella. He holds more than 260 patents and patent applications for six current Avalon companies, including Otonomy, Afraxis, Carolus, Zacharon Pharmaceuticals, and Sova, and sits on their boards. Lichter also sits on the board of Aratana, the medical company for dogs and cats, and the John Wayne Cancer Center.
So if Otonomy was a painful launch — "but cork-popping at the end," Lichter is quick to add — then what's the painless route?
That might be curling up with a good scientific paper, calling up the author Susumu Tonegawa, Nobel laureate at MIT, and proposing they start a company around Tonegawa's research, which had begun to show that a rare genetic cause of autism disorders might be cured by inhibiting a certain protein in the brain. Their company, Afraxis, was bought last month by Genentech for some $178 million. When the product is given to what appear to be autistic mice, they no longer cower in corners or engage in repetitive motion.
Painless to lucky, in terms of how Avalon meets up with good ideas, might be called the Sorrento Valley Coffee Shop approach, frequenting Zumbar's, the biotech hangout, and ordering enough lattes long enough that people like Floyd Romesberg walk up and ask, "You're a VC? Well, I have an idea," as Lichter recalls the story of Avalon partner Court Turner's meeting with Romesberg, a professor at The Scripps Research Institute.
Romesberg's idea turned out to be a highly novel arrow from the quiver of evolutionary genetics. Some bacteria (and maybe a lot of creatures closer to us) can actually regulate their own evolution when they really need to, with a special enzyme.
If that resourceful bacteria happens to kill some 70,000 people in U.S. hospitals annually, like MRSA or C.diff, and every time the pharmaceutical industry tries to whack the bacteria out, the little guy shape-shifts into a more resistant bug, then holding the bacillus to its current genetic form long enough to kill it with conventional antibiotics would be a very valuable thing. That company was RQx, and Genentech also bought it out recently for $104 million plus royalties.

Amine gas treating
Amine gas treating refers to a group of processes that use aqueous solutions of various alkanols (commonly referred to as simply "amines") to remove hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from gases. It is a common process unit used in petroleum refineries, natural gas processing plants, petrochemical plants and other industries. The process is also known as acid gas removal and gas sweetening.
Processes within petroleum refineries or natural gas processing plants that remove hydrogen sulfide and/or mercaptans are commonly referred to as sweetening processes because they result in products which no longer have the sour, foul odors of mercaptans and hydrogen sulfide.
There are many different amines used in gas treating:
- Monoethanolamine (MEA)
- Diethanolamine (DEA)
- Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA)
- Diisopropylamine (DIPA)
- Diglycolamine (DGA)
The most commonly used amines in industrial plants are MEA, DEA, and MDEA.
Amines are also used in many petroleum refineries to remove sour gases from liquid hydrocarbons such as liquified petroleum gas (LPG).
Description of a typical amine treater
Gases containing H2S or both H2S and CO2 are commonly referred to as sour gases or acid gases in the hydrocarbon processing industries. The chemistry involved in the amine treating of such gases varies somewhat with the particular amine being used. For one of the more common amines, methanolamine (MEA) denoted as RNH2, the chemistry may be simply expressed as:
A typical amine gas treating process (as shown in the process flow diagram below) includes an absorber column and a regenerator column as well as accessory equipment. In the absorber, the downflowing amine solution absorbs H2S and CO2 from the upflowing sour gas to produce a sweetened gas stream (i.e., an H2S-free gas) as a product and an amine solution rich in the absorbed acid gases.
The resultant rich amine is then routed into the regenerator (a distillation column called a stripper with a reboiler) to produce regenerated or lean amine that is recycled for reuse in the absorber. The stripped overhead gas from the regenerator is concentrated H2S and CO2. In petroleum refineries, that stripped gas is mostly H2S, much of which often comes from a sulfur-removing process called hydrodesulfurization. This H2S-rich stripped gas stream is then usually routed into a Claus unit to convert it into elemental sulfur. In fact, the vast majority of the 68,000,000 metric tons of sulfur produced worldwide in 2010 was byproduct sulfur from petroleum refineries, natural gas processing plants and other hydrocarbon processing plants. In some plants, more than one amine absorber unit may share a common regenerator unit.
The amine concentration in the absorbent aqueous solution is an important parameter in the design and operation of an amine gas treating process. Depending on which one of the following four amines the unit was designed to use and what gases it was designed to remove, these are some typical amine concentrations, expressed as weight percent of pure amine in the aqueous solution:
- Monoethanolamine: About 20 % for removing H2S and CO2, and about 32 % for removing only CO2.
- Diethanolamine: About 20 to 25 % for removing H2S and CO2.
- Methyldiethanolamine: About 30 to 55% % for removing H2S and CO2.
- Diglycolamine: About 50 % for removing H2S and CO2.
The choice of amine concentration in the circulating aqueous solution depends upon a number of factors and may be quite arbitrary. It is usually made simply on the basis of experience. The factors involved include whether the amine unit is treating raw natural gas or petroleum refinery by-product gases that contain relatively low concentrations of both H2S and CO2 or whether the unit is treating gases with a very high percentage of CO2 such as the offgas from the steam reforming process used in ammonia production or the flue gases from power plants that use fossil fuels. Both H2S and CO2 are acid gases and hence corrosive to carbon steel. However, in an amine treating unit, CO2 is the stronger acid of the two. H2S forms a film of iron sulfide on the surface of the steel that acts to protect the steel. When treating gases with a very high percentage of CO2, corrosion inhibitors are often used and that permits the use of higher concentrations of amine in the circulating solution. Another factor involved in choosing an amine concentration is the the relative solubility of H2S and CO2 in the selected amine. For more information about selecting the amine concentration, the reader is referred to Kohl and Nielson's book.
The choice of the type of amine will affect the required circulation rate of amine solution, the energy consumption for the regeneration and the ability to selectively remove either H2S alone or CO2 alone if desired.
The current emphasis on removing CO2 from the flue gases emitted by fossil fuel power plants has led to much interest in using amines for that purpose.
In the steam reforming of hydrocarbons such as natural gas or petroleum naphtha to produce gaseous hydrogen for subsequent use in the industrial production of ammonia, amine treating is one of the commonly used processes for removing excess by-product carbon dioxide in the final purification of the gaseous hydrogen.
New amine-based materials for gas processing
In recent years, interest in the development of new materials and technologies for the capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) has increased significantly. This development appears to be driven largely by increasing concerns about the impact of rising CO2 emissions on climate change. One outcome has been the introduction of new reactive amines which have chemical structures in which the CO2-reactive part of the molecule (the amine group) is tethered to an ionic (salt-like) structural element. The ionic nature of these hybrids makes them less likely to be lost to evaporation during CO2 capture operations, and as a result it may be possible to reduce the typical amine loss in scrubbing systems of about two kilograms/tonne (four lb/ton) of CO2 captured. While systems involving the use of certain simple amine-salt solutions in water were first evaluated for CO2 capture decades ago, it was only in 2002 that systems of pure, CO2-reactive liquid salts (amine-appended task-specific ionic liquids called TSILs) were first introduced. Recently, the researchers responsible for that development have reported improved approaches (e.g., the use of "Click chemistry") for the preparation of CO2-reactive salts, procedures which result in salts that are much less expensive to prepare than the earlier first-generation of materials. Interestingly, the library of new compounds obtained in this fashion also included CO2-reactive salts that are plastic-, resin- and gel-like in character.

The owner of the Kellum Law Firm says the gunman who shot a man in the parking lot of the legal firm's Greenville office Friday is not connected to the law firm in any way. "He just happened to walk through that parking lot," Norman Kellum said.
"We were just as shocked as the rest of Eastern North Carolina," Kellum said.
Russ Needell, the managing attorney for the Kellum Law Firm's Greenville office says the man shot in front of the firm is an insurance adjuster for GEICO, a man they have known for years. The victim was planning to retire very soon, Needell said, calling the victim a "great guy." A woman who works at Kellum may have seen part of the violent event, Needell said, and ran back to the office. People in the office came to the victim's aid until first responders arrived.
Needell said he didn't know if Lakim Faust, the suspected shooter, has any connection to GEICO, but a search of the firm's database shows he has no connection to the Kellum Law Firm.
Kellum announced he is starting a relief fund for the victims named "Greenville Strong." The fund will go towards the victims' medical costs and rehabilitation expenses. Kellum is donating $5,000 to the effort.
If you would like to donate you can send checks to the Greenville Strong Fund at the CarolinaEast Foundation, PO Box 1576, New Bern, NC 28563.

Obito's laboratory is located within the Mountains' Graveyard headquarters of the Akatsuki. It was first seen when Obito teleported himself, and Danzō Shimura's corpse there in an attempt to retrieve Shisui Uchiha's eye only to discover that the elder had crushed it before his death — an action which Obito cursed him for. This was also where Obito transplanted Itachi Uchiha's eyes into Sasuke.
A massive wall decorated with the Uchiha clan symbol on top of it, stores a large collection of eyes, which are each individually suspended in fluid inside built-in labelled glass containers. The laboratory is also equipped with an operating table for surgical use.

Gabelli Students Get Test Drive in Sustainability
Contact: Patrick Verel
(212) 636-7790
October 3, 2013
An exotic black car was spotted doing laps around the Rose Hill campus on Oct. 1, but it wasn't a cause for concern.
The sleek black sedan seen quietly ferrying Fordham juniors and seniors to and from Hughes Hall was a Tesla S60kw, an electric car that travels 300 miles on a single charge.
The visit was part of "Sustainable Business Foundations," a class taught by Michael Pirson, Ph.D., assistant professor of management systems at the Gabelli School of Business.
The class, which is the foundation of a sustainable business minor that is open to both Fordham College at Rose Hill and Gabelli students, surveys the principles of sustainable business around 3 P's: Planet, People, and Profit.
"We use a theoretical basis for sustainable business and invite companies that represent those to come speak to class. The final assignment for the class is to come up with a sustainable business idea and write a business plan around it," Pirson said.
Whereas past company representatives have addressed students from the confines of the classroom, the Oct. 1 class was a little more hands-on. As Steve Treacy, a senior at Gabelli who works as a product specialist for the 10-year-old San Carlos-based car company, gave students rides around campus, other students peppered Tesla ownership specialist Jeff Cuje with questions about the company.
Story continues below

Cuje explained how the S60kw, which has a base price of $70,000, can be charged overnight at any home with a 240-volt connector, at a public charging station, or at one of the company's "Supercharger" stations opening around the country.
And even though many homes still get their energy via coal-fired plants, Cuje said that, in the long run, it's still cleaner than cars with traditional internal combustion engines powered by oil.
In addition to Tesla, Pirson has hosted representatives from companies such as Whole Foods, Eileen Fisher, and Green Soul Shoes. Tesla embodies the challenges that sustainable businesses face when tackling issues of transportation and energy, and their advertising model is an example of how many sustainable businesses follow unique paths.
"They're doing it all word-of-mouth, which is a great strategy because it doesn't cost as much," he said.
John McConnell, a senior at Gabelli majoring in finance entrepreneurship, counted himself as a fan.
"The idea of finding a car that runs on a sustainable energy source is not going away, so Tesla is really at the forefront. A lot of other companies have electric models, but that is not their core competency. Tesla's core competency, as far as what they're making, is electric cars," he said.
"It's really a forward-thinking company."
After graduation, McConnell hopes to work for a company that is focused on solving the problems of today with the future in mind. General Electric's "Ecomagination," program, for example, examines companies' products to see how they might be replaced with something more sustainable.
"Some of them aren't textbook-sustainable products," he said. "Fluorescent light bulbs, for instance, aren't really good for the environment; they just use less energy. But I want to be part of a company that's looking to solve those issues," he said.
Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to more than 15,100 students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools. It has residential campuses in the Bronx and Manhattan, a campus in West Harrison, N.Y., the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y., and the London Centre at Heythrop College, University of London, in the United Kingdom.
