text: Sep 28, 2013 19:24 The Wild Side.July 29, 2012 The Wild Side.July 29, 2012 Advocate story Comments GRAND ISLE— It's amazing that amidst the excitement stirred by the annual Grand Isle Tarpon Rodeo, there would be angst approaching anger stirred by the way federal agencies are managing our near-coast and offshore fishery. During the last three years, the lightning rod for this growing discord is the red snapper. Most saltwater fishermen know the problem: The National Marine Fisheries Service applied the term "overfished" to red snapper more than a decade ago, a designation that put restrictions on daily take and instituted a recreational season. In the main, recreational anglers recognized the problem, agreed with those moves and went looking for other species to make their offshore trips worth their while. Mangrove snapper, amberjack, cobia, grouper, even the deep-water tunas, dolphin and wahoo, took up some of the slack. Some anglers shifted their focus from offshore platforms and reefs to inshore species like speckled trout and redfish, which, too, filled the bill. But in the years since, especially the last three off Louisiana's coast, the explosion of Gulf of Mexico red snapper has left everyone venturing from marinas and camps across the southern parishes wondering about a management scheme so obviously flawed that it ignores what the anglers are seeing — and catching. Since 2010, the constant report from oil platforms and deep-water reefs is that there are so many red snapper that it limits the ability to catch the other species that filled in the gap left in the snapper restrictions. The folks who enjoy scuba and skin diving tell of dives that take them into huge schools of red snapper. Instead of being able to celebrate what they see as obvious rewards from years of a two-per-day catch and ever-shortened seasons (this year a June 1-July 16 season), fishermen's frustration with federal regulations has grown. It has gotten to the point where congressional staffs from the five Gulf of Mexico states openly talk about increases in complaints and the need to do something to hold the National Marine Fisheries Service and its underling, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council, accountable for what the fishermen believe is a flawed application of the marine sciences when it comes to managing red snapper and other species. The other species? The NMFS and the GMFMC have closed the recreational greater amberjack season during the last two Junes and Julys, months of heavy offshore recreational activity. Earlier this year, and unexpectedly, the GMFMC closed the recreational and commercial catch of gray triggerfish, a hard-to-clean, but tasty fish that had taken the place on the tables for rec anglers. Grouper species come on an off closed-season periods regularly, and it's almost as difficult to know what seasons are open, or closed, as it is to understand why we're playing less the $3 for a gallon of gas one Sunday, and 40 cents a gallon more by the end of the week.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 13 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DearAntlerLovers Beautiful, Practical, Relatively Inexpensive for the Style and Quality This is such an awesome desk. It has so many smart and hard-to-find features, while being much more beautiful than the typical, ugly, utilitarian work desk. I already had a cheap but nice and functional desk and didn't especially need a new one, but when I saw the store model in person and learned that it was on sale, I ordered it immediately. Seeing it in person first definitely helped my decision, but the fact that it had great reviews also influenced my purchase. Function: excellent for a small space. It's actually a little less wide than my previous one, so it takes up less floor space, while being smartly designed to actually hold more in and on it. The sliding function is great; I've been wanting something like that for a long time. I use this as a computer desk and it allows me to have my monitor (on the upper shelf), giant keyboard, mouse, and even tablet out at the same time without fighting for space. Or, you can slide it out while eating or writing in a notebook and still have room for everything. The drawers are so helpful, too. Keeps papers and other clutter at bay. Form: I love the antique look, and it's sturdy and easy to put together. The only part I'm not a huge fan of are the legs, because they're very thick and the faux "distressed" paint job looks a bit silly. But on the other hand, the design and thickness are partially what make the desk so sturdy, and if it really bothered me I'd just paint them all black (now that it's set up it my space, I don't even notice it). Overall it's beautiful and has made using my desk easier without breaking the bank. P.S. tip for those who live in walk-up buildings: this is NOT that heavy, but you need to take it out of the box and carry it up in pieces. (It's wrapped well, so it's safe to do so.) February 5, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by jeaner Love Love this purchase I tried to get a floor model, from the reviews I read on putting together, it didn't fit in my car, so one of the ladies, Gloria in Temecula said just take a box one home it is so easy to assemble, (TY it was so easy) so I did, it was a piece of cake, it fits perfect in my room matches my bedroom furniture, this is such a nice desk, price is good. highly recommend. Love your store. January 28, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by mollyg Perfect little desk This desk was exactly what I was looking for. Rustic/antique finish with great functionality in a fairly compact size. Good, solid material and easy assembly. Overall, great product! January 5, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Surfnectar Great Deal on solid product It was a little taller than expected. I envisioned a laptop being able to be closed into the desk but the drawers are a bit wider than expected. Needed to use a brown furniture marker on one small, for lack of a better term, "scratch". It's a solid piece, and looks great! November 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cathesper Just a perfect little desk We needed a small desk, but one that would have plenty of room for a laptop and storage too, plus look stylish. We couldn't get happier with this desk. It fits in a bedroom perfectly, has plenty of desktop space, is absolutely beautiful and modern looking, and is sturdy and solid. October 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by KimTuritto I love this desk! This desk is great; It's perfect size, just enough storage, looks beautiful and is great quality. I think the price is a really good deal, especially if you get a discount or free shipping coupon! August 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nathaniel The picture doesn't do it justice I was actually expecting it to be smaller than what it was– but this wonderful desk is pretty large. The wood is pretty high-quality and hefty. But, even so, it was really easy to put together– just a couple of screws, and done within 30 minutes. When you pull out the sliding drawer (which pulls out smoothly) my computer sits on there perfectly. I have a lamp that sits on the top-shelf and it goes great with my decor. For the price, I think you're getting a really lovely piece that has an antique feel, tried and true, but is modern enough to fit in any type of space. May 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Matthew the perfect desk This desk is made well, with a awesome old world look to it ,it was simple to put together ,its was properly prepared for shipping ,every part of the desk was secure and safe from damage in its shipping box , Just cant say enough about this desk ,will defiantly order from World Market again March 30, 2015

The New Mexico baseball team lost an awful lot of talent after the 2013 season.
For all the talent lost, however, plenty of talent remains, enough to make the Lobos the favorites to win the Mountain West Conference once again.
Much of that talent has yet to play a Division I baseball contest, making actual game experience the biggest thing that UNM is lacking.
"The thing is that once they get their experience I think they're going to be pretty good," coach Ray Birmingham said. "This team this year is 24 underclassmen. That's the difference. You can't practice experience.
"So we'll do like we always do at Lobo baseball ... everybody's going to get in the game when it counts and you better get it or we lose. And I hate that word. We'll keep putting them in there. By the time we get to May or June, they'll be ready."
The Lobos ran roughshod over the MWC last season, winning all 10 conference series. They were upset by San Diego State in the conference tournament championship game and were then ousted quickly from an NCAA regional in Fullerton, Calif.
Graduation and the Major League draft then took a big bite out of the team. First baseman D.J. Peterson went in the first round to the Seattle Mariners, while a good chunk of the senior class followed, including top starting pitcher Sam Wolff, catcher Mitch Garver and third baseman Alex Allbritton.
So who remains and who is new? Here is the projected UNM lineup.
Junior Alex Real was a solid force (.317/.402/.519, 8 HR) in the lineup as a designated hitter last season, but now he gets to be the primary starter behind the plate. It has been a challenge that Real has eagerly accepted.
"The big part of it is learning my pitchers," Real said. "Learning their personalities, learning what they like to throw in certain counts. I have to kind of be like a psychologist back there, know what's going on in their heads so I can help them."
First base
Junior Ryan Padilla will move from left field, looking to rebound after a disappointing sophomore season (.266/.391/.435). Birmingham said that Padilla has made the appropriate adjustments after getting out of sync mentally last year.
"He went off to the Cape Cod (League) and some scout walked by and said, 'Hey, you need to hit more pull-side home runs,'" Birmingham said. "And then he got long and everything was trying to go down the right field line. If you remember Ryan's freshman year, a lot of doubles in the gap, oppo gap, pull-side gap, up the middle and the occasional home run."
Second base/shortstop
The sophomore duo of Sam Haggerty (.280/.412/.378) and Jared Holley (.293/.401/.331) will return up the middle.
"I love playing with Holley up the middle," Haggerty said. "We have some good chemistry and one year under our belt. I feel like we should be even better this year."
Third base
The biggest question mark right now is who will start at the hot corner. Freshman Andre Vigil and sophomore Jered Meek, who is recovering from offseason knee surgery, are the main competitors.
"The biggest battle, the biggest hole right now is third base," Birmingham said. "They were both middle infielders in high school and we're asking them to play third. That's a different spot, that's a different way to play it. (But) they're very capable of doing it. One of them is going to end up taking it and owning it."
On most teams, the best fielder plays center, but due to the shape of Lobo Field and the natural elements, UNM must put its best outfielder in right field. That is why senior Chase Harris (.321/.374/.458), who Birmingham called a plus defender, will continue to start there after the coaching staff considered moving him to center.
"We thought about it and thought about it, (but) right field in our ballpark is a big position," Birmingham said. "Because if you don't take the right routes in right field and that ball goes, the guy can run it's an inside-the-park home run. The sun and the wind, that's the other part, are over there."
Junior Aaron Siple, a transfer from an Arizona junior college, will man center. He brings plus speed to the top of the Lobo lineup.
Left field will fall to senior John Pustay, who was limited to a backup first base role last year after he recovered from a 2012 ankle injury.
Designated hitter
Freshmen Chris DeVito and Cody Bower could both see time here. DeVito has impressed Birmingham with his plus power.
"You know what, that Chris DeVito kid is really hitting the ball," Birmingham said. "And he's hitting the ball to all parts of the park and he's only going to get better."
Coming Thursday: A look at the Lobo pitching staff, led by senior Josh Walker.

There might have been snow in parts of South Africa over the past few weeks, but such freezing thoughts will be forgotten when the African qualifying tournament for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, which starts on Tuesday 3 July.
For a second successive year, the qualifying competition will be played on the beaches of the coastal tourist city of Durban, also one of the host cities for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ finals.
But unlike last year, the list of competitors for the event has been increased from six to eight countries, with all of them battling it out for the two African berths available at November's FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in Rio de Janeiro.
The Durban tournament is the first of the continental qualifiers
for Rio with both Cameroon and Nigeria, who played at the FIFA
Beach Soccer World Cup last year, hoping to secure another
appearance at the prestigious event.
Both sides, however, have been drawn in the same group, along with a traditionally strong Egyptian side and debutants Senegal.
Indeed, Cameroon play Nigeria in their Group B tie on Thursday, ensuring this year's tournaments starts where last year's event left off.
The pairing of the two favourites in Group B is a big fillip for hosts South Africa, who were Africa's representatives at the first-ever FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in 2005 but turned in a series of disappointing performances at the qualifiers last year.
Their side is again being led by Mark Williams, a former striker with RWD Molenbeek in Belgium and England's Wolverhampton Wanderers. However, he is better known in his home country for scoring both goals when South Africa beat Tunisia in the final of the 1996 CAF Africa Cup of Nations in Johannesburg.
South Africa start their Group A campaign on Tuesday against Côte d'Ivoire, who beat them in Durban last year. The group also includes the Cape Verde Islands and Mozambique. The two Portuguese speaking countries are also making their debuts on the international Beach Soccer stage.
Morocco are the side who do not return from last year's event, meaning there are three newcomers and five returnees for the second-ever African qualifying tournament.
Cameroon will be the slight favourites given their performance in Rio last year where they beat eventual finalists Uruguay in the opening round of the competition. Nigeria also missed out on a quarter-final appearance by the narrowest of margins, losing in a penalty shoot-out against Bahrain.
All teams play on the opening day on Tuesday, followed by more group matches on Wednesday and Thursday. The key semi-finals will be on Saturday and final takes place on Sunday.

Redshirt sophomore Alex Massey tied his career high in innings pitched (6.0) and strikeouts (seven) on Tuesday against Nicholls State
April 29, 2014
Box Score vs. Nicholls State 2
NEW ORLEANS - Against one of the better pitching staffs in the nation, Tulane's baseball squad came out swinging on Tuesday night at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium, as the Green Wave won 8-1 thanks in large part to a solid pitching performance of their own from redshirt sophomore Alex Massey as well as a big day at the dish from freshman shortstop Stephen Alemais.
With Massey (2-4) having just pitched his last inning after the top of the sixth, matching a career-high in innings pitched in a contest, Tulane (18-24) led just 2-0 headed to the bottom of that frame. However, a quartet of Tulane freshman came up big at the dish, as third baseman Hunter Hope and outfielder Lex Kaplan notched back-to-back singles off Nicholls State (25-21) reliever Zach Thiac. Catcher Jake Rogers bunted both over into scoring position before Alemais came to the dish with two outs on the board and blasted his first career home run over the left center field wall, giving Tulane a 5-0 lead.
In addition to Massey tying a career-high in innings pitched, the Baton Rouge, La., native also tied a career-best mark in strikeouts with seven on the evening.
"I thought (Alex) had a great outing for us, and he really set the tone for the rest of the game," stated Tulane baseball interim head coach Jake Gautreau. "We know what kind of year Alex had two years ago, and we know that he has had an injury that has held him back. But he gets better and better every time he goes out there. I thought he did an amazing job for us."
The Tulane bats backed Massey as the team collected 12 hits, including multi-hit games from senior outfielder Andrew Garner, junior first baseman Garrett Deschamp, Hope and Alemais.
Freshman second baseman Jake Willsey, sophomore designated hitter Richard Carthon, freshman outfielder Grant Brown and Kaplan all notched one hit each.
Hope, Kaplan and Alemais each posted two runs, while Brown and Willsey scored the other two for the Green Wave. Deschamp had two RBI and Brown recorded an RBI of his own, but it was Alemais who stole the show offensively with a career-high four RBI, three coming from his home run.
"I think he was a little bit shocked," added Gautreau about Alemais' blast. "We've tweaked a couple of things in his stance and his stride, and it's helped him. That ball was a fastball up in the zone which was probably a ball. He got on top of it and put a really good swing on it. That was a big lift for us."
Tulane jumped out to an early lead as they scored a run in the bottom of the first off Colonels' starter Ryan Deemes. Willsey laced a double into left field, and the rookie from Chestnut Hill, Mass., came home on an RBI-single by Deschamp.
The Green Wave struck again off Deemes (2-3) in the bottom of the fourth, as Hope led off with a double before crossing home plate on a single by Brown.
After Massey left the contest, Tulane used sophomore reliever Tim Yandel, who pitched 2.0, scoreless, hitless innings while striking out one. The sophomore from Woodstock, Ga., has posted 8.0-straight innings of work on the mound without allowing a run or a hit.
In the bottom of the eighth, the Green Wave tacked on three more runs as the Colonels' bullpen imploded. Cole Stapler allowed three unearned runs on two walks, a hit by pitch and an error without recording an out. In the top of the ninth, the Green Wave allowed a run to the Colonels as sophomore Ian Gibaut plunked Leo Vargas before giving up an RBI-double to Keith Cormier.
Deemes pitched 4.0 innings, allowing six hits and two earned runs while striking out just one. Thiac went 1.1 innings while giving up two runs and three hits. John Satriano pitched 0.2 innings, allowing one run, and Jason McDonald and Stuart Holmes each allowed one hit in 1.0 inning of work.
The eight runs scored by the Green Wave on Tuesday were the most by the team since putting a 10-spot on the board at Cal on March 7. The seven-run margin of victory by the Green Wave has only been seen on two other occasions this year as the team defeated Louisiana Tech 16-3 on Feb. 22 after beating Arkansas-Pine Bluff 11-4 on Feb. 16.
The 12 hits amassed by the Green Wave were the most by the team since collecting 13 at East Carolina in the second game of a doubleheader on March 15.
The Green Wave will return to action over the weekend as they will play host to Conference USA opponent Southern Miss for a three-game series at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium. Friday's contest will begin at 6:30pm CT, while Saturday's will start at 2pm CT. The Sunday series finale will begin at 1pm CT. All three games will be broadcast on the home of Tulane baseball for the 2014 season, 88.3 FM WRBH. Live stats for all three contests will be made available through GameTracker links on the TulaneGreenWave.com baseball schedule page.
Single game tickets are available for the contest. For more information on tickets, call 504-861-WAVE (9283), or visit the James W. Wilson, Jr. Center's first-floor ticket office.

But if I request to point to my own DNS, they ask me for two NS, that's ok so far, and then for IPv4 addresses and nothing more, is there any workaround for IPv6 or I have to change my domain registrar?
Well, I would like to point to my own DNS, as long as my domain registrar (123-reg.co.uk) does not have support for AAAA records.
I need to change my Domain registrar. As long as they do not support IPv6.
You should be able to only provide the name of your DNS server to your registrar. They should be able to extract the IP adresses in v4 or v6 from the name of your server.
However your DNS server should be available on IPv4 and IPv6, even if all your records point on IPv6.
There is no garantee, even if the client is connected on the IPv6 Internet, that the DNS resolution will happend only on IPv6. For example the DNS resolver of the client could be unable to do queries on IPv6 even if it is able to respond on this protocol.
This is a transitional situation and most DNS server should be able to properly resolve names on the IPv6 Internet in the future, but for now it is safer to double stack the DNS.
Let's say your domain is
Your domain registrar is responsible for updating the TLD's DNS with the NS delegation and the glue records.
It is for the glue records that 123-reg are asking you for an IP address. You can still host

The conflict in eastern Congo, the deadliest in the world since World War II, is being fueled by a multi-million dollar trade in minerals that go into our electronic products from cell phones to digital cameras. Over five million people have died as a result of the war, and hundreds of thousands of women have been raped in eastern Congo over the past decade. The armed groups that are perpetrating the violence generate an estimated $144 million each year by trading in four main minerals, the 3 Ts and gold:
All of these minerals are used in our every-day electronics – from cell phones, to laptops, to ipods, we may well be unwittingly helping to continue the genocide.
We're not asking companies to pull up stakes in Congo and take their business elsewhere – that would just hurt the Congolese. What we're asking is for companies to make sure any minerals they do buy aren't passing through tainted hands, much as the diamond industry learned to avoid blood diamonds from West Africa. This will not only disempower the armed groups profiting from the trade in illegal minerals, it will also strengthen legitimate mining in Congo.
Take Action!
The trade in illegally extracted minerals finances the armed groups that commit mass atrocities in Congo. Until we address this root cause of the conflict, sexual violence, murder and displacement will continue to destroy Congolese communities.

Those searching for formidable, funk-fuelled party fodder should be well aware of the Riddim Fruit label, one of the more reliable sources of mash-up madness. This EP from The Allergies - complete with heavy beats, scratches, borrowed rap vocals and funk breaks aplenty - should cause carnage in those clubs that still rock the breakbeat vibe. Lead cut "Heartbreaker" sets the tone by revisiting a little known funk stomper, while "Club Spillage" fuses bottom-heavy boom-bap beats with quality raps and slick Hammond organ licks. "Seven Days" spices up a string-laden funk-soul jam with some weighty breakbeat pressure, while "Ever Live" slows the tempo for some sweet soul-hop bumpiness. Predictably solid.

Junior Jenny Hois and the Green Wave will battle Kentucky on Saturday at the City Park Pepsi Center.
Feb. 8, 2013
New Orleans - Tulane's 59th-ranked women's tennis team returns to action this Saturday at 9 a.m. against Kentucky, the Wave's second straight Southeastern Conference opponent, at the City Park Pepsi Center. There is no charge for admission.
Tulane (2-2) will look to put its tough loss at home against No. 46 LSU this past Wednesday behind and bounce back into the win column on Saturday. The Wave is 1-1 at home this season after topping Conference USA rival SMU, 4-3, in its home opener last week, and is 2-0 against unranked opponents this year.
"This is our first meeting with Kentucky so we have no preconceived notions about what to expect other than we know the SEC teams are always solid programs and battle hard," Tulane head coach Terri Sisk said. "As a team, we are strictly focusing on staying in the present and executing correctly on the task in front of us. The team is ready to play and looking for another solid performance."
Kentucky is 3-1 overall this spring and is coming off a 4-3 loss at home to No. 48 Penn State last Sunday.
The Green Wave women's tennis team will play all nine of its home matches this spring at the City Park Pepsi Center. The City Park/Pepsi Tennis Center features 16 hard and 10 clay courts, a clubhouse with a pro shop, restrooms, showers and a meeting room. The facility is located off Marconi Blvd. between I-610 and Harrison Avenue. For more information on City Park Pepsi Center, please visit http://www.neworleanscitypark.com/tennis.html.

My first book titled Divine Evolution was originally published by a small independent publishing house called epress-online.
I will be forever grateful to the people involved with that company for seeing fit to put my words into print.
Due to the deaths in rapid succession of both editor-in-chief Margaret Carr and her chief assistant Joan Pulver, epress-online forever closed its doors in August 2011.
As a result, Divine Evolution was pulled from the market. It has been unavailable for sale since the middle of last year.
Now I'm extremely pleased to announce that a new, very impressive, independent publishing house locally based in Alpharetta called Each Voice Publishing has re-edited and re-released Divine Evolution.
Divine Evolution is currrently available for the low price of $3.99 through Kindle through Amazon, plus a host of other eBook formats that include Apple can be found at Smashwords.
The print edition will be available through Create Space in the very near future.
A new publishing company has been born. The next planned release from Each Voice Publishing later this month will be my first detective novel, Coastal Empire.
Stay tuned.

Devil You Know, fronted by former Killswitch Engage vocalist Howard Jones, had the Lost Horizon shaking and rocking last night along with the energetic and talented Butcher Babies. The evening was opened by locals ERA and Armed With Valor that unfortunately I was not able to catch (I'll make it up to you guys). Heidi Shepherd of Butcher Babies made a point to mention how impressed she was by both bands.
Butcher Babies are well known for their wild antics onstage, last night the band really let the music shine through with an energetic performance that had the house roaring for more. They like to jump and the crowd was more than happy to jump right along with them. The twin vocal attack of Heidi Shepherd and Carla Coates is really a powerful force to witness as they seamlessly worked in tandem singing and in working the crowd. What is usually lost in all of these reviews is that the band is solid and talented. Guitarist Henry Flury displayed a more polished presence on the strings while the combo of bassist Jason Klein and drummer Chrissy Warner laid down the law. The band has toured like mad and shows no signs of letting up anytime soon, they are a must see live. The band had great fan interaction as they got up close and personal onstage and off at the merch table immediately afterward. Butcher Babies have indeed arrived. They have a new lyric video out today for the song "C8H18 (Gasoline)" that can be seen right here: http://youtu.be/nWVMM6cF5NM
The time was now for Devil You Know who claimed the stage, and the fans, with their high-octane heavy metal set nearly bringing down the ceiling. No one would have cared as chants of 'Howard!' rained down to the stage to which the former Killswitch Engage frontman responded with "What?" Fans and the band had a good laugh as Jones worked the crowd like the pro he is. He even encouraged people to go pick up the bands album and joked about some people getting it free on some piracy websites stating "cheap bastards" and the place erupted in laughter yet again. Jones never stood still as he paced the stage covering every inch of available space. He is re-energized and it shows. It was just awesome to hear his voice and see him live again; the fans fed off his and the bands energy yet they drew from the crowd as well. Devil You Know brings some pedigree as Howard Jones (ex-Killswitch Engage and Blood Has Been Shed frontman) is joined by Francesco Artusato (guitarist with The Francesco Artusato Project and All Shall Perish), drummer John Sankey (Devolved, Fear Factory, Divine Heresy), bassist Ryan Wombacher (Bleeding Through) who is the other voice heard in synch with Jones, and guitarist Roy Lev-Ari.
They delivered a blistering set of their songs and the guitar work was incredible with some wickedly delicious leads. These guys are insanely good but off the charts great live. 95X and The Lost Horizon dropped another killer show on Syracuse and I look forward to more from them all summer long. Go pick up Devil You Know new album 'The Beauty Of Destruction' in stores or online today and be sure to catch them blow a stage up near you soon.

CLEVELAND – Talk about a cruel fate.
Jeanmar Gomez was promoted from Triple-A Columbus to make a spot start Sunday in the series finale with Detroit.
Pitching brilliantly in his major league debut, the 22-year-old right-hander helped the Indians to a sweep-clinching 7-2 victory over the Central Division-contending Tigers.
His reward? A trip back to the minors.
"It's too bad but he's going back," said Cleveland manager Manny Acta. "He knew it. It was a great experience for him.
"You couldn't have scripted it any better. This kid was lights out, especially for the first time in the big leagues. He just came in and threw strikes and had very good command of both sides of the plate."
Gomez outpitched Vermilion native Andy Oliver, allowing a pair of unearned runs on five hits, while striking out four over seven innings, as the Indians completed their first four-game sweep of the Tigers in Cleveland since 1991.
It was a surprising sight on a number of fronts for Gomez, who has been inconsistent at Columbus this season, owning a 6-8 record and 5.70 ERA in 18 starts for the Clippers.
"Everything was good from the first inning on," said Gomez of his arsenal of pitches, which included two-seam (sinker) and four-seam fastballs, a changeup and slider.
Gomez didn't allow a run through the first five innings and just three hits, while his offense built a 5-0 lead on Oliver and the Tigers. He surrendered two unearned runs in the sixth, then came back to retire the side in order during his final inning of work in the seventh.
All that, and he's still going down.
Gomez knew he was being promoted for a spot start and nothing else, no matter how well he pitched. He was prepared when Acta approached him before the game, holding his plane ticket out of Cleveland as he spoke to the manager.
"It's OK," said Gomez, whose family watched the game on television from his grandmother's house in his hometown of Caracas, Venezuela. "I will just keep working down (in Columbus)."
"He was fine with it," Acta said. "He relished the opportunity."
Oliver couldn't have relished his first appearance in front of a hometown crowd at a park he grew up watching the Indians play.
The 22-year-old left-hander allowed three runs in the opening inning and was gone before the fifth, surrendering five runs on four hits and five walks over 3 2/3 innings.
The Indians scored their three runs in the first via the rarest of occurrences, an inside-the-park home run from possibly the slowest position player on the club – Jhonny Peralta.
Peralta connected on an Oliver pitch and sent it deep to center field, where Ryan Raburn had a bead on the drive before crashing through Cleveland's bullpen door, as the ball ricocheted back toward the infield.
Peralta, who was in the lineup for the first time in four games following a bout with the flu, motored around third and scored easily on a high relay throw to the plate.
"When I saw that he jumped into the wall, I tried to run really fast," Peralta said. "It was really hard because I'm sick."
It was Cleveland's sixth inside-the-park homer at Progressive Field and the first since Grady Sizemore's against Baltimore in April of 2007. According to Peralta, it was his first inside-the-park homer on any level, including little league.
Up 5-2, the Indians scored a run apiece in the seventh and eighth innings to put the game away. An RBI triple from Matt LaPorta scored the run in the seventh, while a two-out single from Jayson Nix plated Cleveland's final run.
It was the Indians' second four-game sweep of the season after they accomplished the feat for the first time during a visit from Toronto on June 28-30, July 1.
"Overall, it was a great series," Acta said. "I thought this was even better than the Blue Jays series because the games were closer and we pitched better.
"It was pretty impressive by our kids, the fact that we swept a team that has been on top of our division and a team that is probably going to be battling for the top spot the rest of the year. Our kids deserve a lot of credit."
None more than Gomez.

No. 22 Georgia Tech Drops ACC Opener 6-1 At No. 20 Clemson
Freshman Natasha Prokhnevska earns only Yellow Jacket point
Feb. 13, 2013
THE FLATS - The 22nd-ranked Georgia Tech women's tennis team dropped its ACC-opener 6-1 at No. 20 Clemson Wednesday afternoon. Freshman Natasha Prokhnevska earned the lone Georgia Tech point with a 6-3, 7-5 win over Tristen Dewar on court six. The win ties her with Kendal Woodard for a team-best 10 singles wins this year.
The Yellow Jackets fall to 2-3 (0-1 ACC) in 2013 while the Tigers improve to 3-2 (1-0 ACC).
"It was certainly a tough match for us today," head coach Rodney Harmon said. "I have to give Clemson credit. They came out and competed hard on every court. Losing the doubles point the way we did was tough and they were able to carry that momentum into singles play. Now we have to come back and focus on getting better before we take on Georgia State."
Clemson was able to win the doubles point but not without a fight from the Jackets. The Tigers edged ahead with an 8-2 win on court three by Beatrice Gumulya and Liz Jeukeng over Tech's Muriel Wacker and Natasha Prokhnevska. Elizabeth Kilborn and Alex Anghelescu leveled doubles with an 8-4 win on court two.
Playing from the No. 1 spot of the lineup for the first time this year, Megan Kurey and Kendal Woodard rallied from down 7-5 to tie the score 7-7. The Jackets took an 8-7 lead but Clemson's duo of Yana Koroleva and Tristen Dewar forced a tiebreak which the Tigers won 7-4.
It was only the second time this year that Georgia Tech has lost the doubles point.
Koroleva, ranked No. 26, put the Tigers up 2-0 with a 6-0, 6-2 win over the 62nd-ranked Kilborn on court one. Woodard fell 2-6, 3-6 to Clemson's 49th-ranked Jeukeng at court two.
Koelzer clinched the Clemson win with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Anghelescu on court three.
Kurey won a tough first set, 6-4, over Clemson's 57th-ranked Gumulya but the Tiger forced a third set with a 6-1 second set victory. Gumulya claimed the match with a 7-6 third set win, putting the Tigers up 5-0. Ani Miao put Clemson up 6-0 with a 6-3, 6-0 win over Muriel Wacker on court five.
Georgia Tech returns home to face the Georgia State Panthers at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 21 at the Ken Byers Tennis Complex.
Fans are encouraged to follow Georgia Tech women's tennis on Twitter, @GT_WTEN, and like the Yellow Jackets on Facebook, GTWomensTennis, for an inside look at the program.

MIPS processors go virtual
Release 5 of the MIPS chip architecture
PROCESSOR DESIGNER MIPS announced a major new release of its chip architecture today, release 5 which succeeds release 3.
The major new features of release 5 include hardware assisted virtualization as well as new SIMD instructions.
MIPS is not the best known processor architecture, but it is used in a wide range of set top boxes, smart metering and networking equipment, to name just a few. Lately we have also seen tablets and smartphones designed based on the MIPS architecture, but they are still very few and mainly designed in China.
Hardware virtualization is important for at least two reasons. In the embedded markets such as networking and set top boxes many manufacturers use up to five heterogeneous cores each running a single application. By employing virtualization it is possible to consolidate these applications on fewer cores, thus making the chips cheaper to design and manufacture.
In the mobile market there is also a growing demand for virtualization. Virtualization will allow smartphones and tablets to run several virtual machines with distinct security models. This means that content protection, payment services and so on can be isolated in separate machines making security much easier to enforce.
Another use on smartphones will be to allow corporate apps to run in their own virtual machine. Should the owner then leave the company, the IT department can disable the virtual machine and the user can go ahead and keep the phone and use all the personal apps without the employer having to fear abuse of corporate data.
The SIMD instruction set is a standardized way of extending the base instruction set with multimedia instructions for video and other streaming content.
Finally, MIPS has included its functions for multithreading in the base and has enhanced the address space for its 32-bit architecture thus allowing for larger programs and data segments without the need to switch to 64-bit mode.
Virtualization and SIMD have been added to the architecture as optional modules that are not part of the baseline. These modules allow for a standardized way to extend the instruction set. Previously virtualization on MIPS has been accomplished in software. Google for example has a virtualization solution for Android running in its labs, but the hardware assisted solution from MIPS is both faster and more complete.
If you are wondering what happened to release 4, it has been dropped out of consideration for Chinese customers. Four in Chinese is prounced "si", which is very similar to the pronounciation of the Chinese word for death, and therefore the number four is considered unlucky.
With this release MIPS is ready to gain ground on its major competitor ARM. It will also be interesting to see if its Chinese parther ICT will be one of the licensees of the new architecture. µ

Rush Limbaugh said something on his show yesterday which I believe may be the single most insightful thing ever uttered by the most polarizing talk show host in our nation. At the 4:40 mark on the video is where Mr. Limbaugh really gets at the nub of the matter. The free market system that has served us so well for 221 years, (assuming 1791 as the starting point for our constitutional republic,) did not begin to falter until the geniuses in Washington began to regulate it. Even today, even with the Democrat Party's best efforts to destroy it, our economy is still the strongest in the world. The statement that somehow, the free markets have failed, after 221 years of unprecedented success may be one of the all time egregiously idiotic statements ever uttered by human speech. Our economy has continued to thrive through the great depression and beyond despite the efforts of our Legislative and Executive Branches, not because of them. Barack Obama needs Americans to be completely ignorant of the broader picture painted by history in order to sell his snake oil. Part of that snake oil is convincing us all that America is somehow in decline, that we need to take our just place as a mediocre nation, just one of the gang, and allow a more just Marxist entity to be the world's superpower now.
The only problem of course is that our nation is not in decline, it is merely in shackles. There is a difference, and that difference is not so subtle as Rush Limbaugh painted it to be. that difference is huge. In November, we will have the philosophical battle for our national direction once again. Will we begin to remove those shackles placed on America as a nation and allow for our free market economy to once again create the wealth and prosperity unbounded by cynical politicians and cronies seeking expanded privilege and power? Conversely, will we place even more shackles and onerous regulation on the backs of our fellow citizens taking solace that we will all be equally miserable, except of course for the elite class of politicians and cronies favored by the state as somehow deserving of dear leader's grace?
It has taken about a century of meddling since the Administration of Woodrow Wilson to bring the world's greatest economy to its knees. Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Jimmy Carter almost succeeded, and Ronald Reagan was able to reverse much of that damage. It took political will and personal courage for Reagan to stay the course he undertook. (For those of you who remember, the first three years of Reagan's term in office were not exactly a bed of roses. Things took a good long while to start turning around.) The question now is this, will someone else emerge with the courage and political will to allow the only medicine that has ever worked, sufficient time to actually work?
Our greatest days are indeed ahead of us, should we elect to seek them. A large portion of our manufacturing base was not enticed over seas by cheap labor, we chased it away by inflicting it with onerous regulations and a taxation burden that can be only characterized as punitive. Punishing success has never been a good way to create wealth. Anyone who has ever owned a dog can tell you that beating the animal for urinating outside is not going to help in your efforts to house break that pet. The manufacturing base of the world will settle anywhere they can make their products most efficiently, with affordable energy, and with as little interference from the politicians as possible. Even with all we've done to the auto industry, there are still 14 auto manufacturers not named GM, Ford , or Chrysler, building cars in America. The question is, do we want that to continue to be the case? Eventually, if we try hard enough, we might be able to successfully chase them away as well. Just follow California's lead, and threaten to sue them over carbon emissions, which of course have not been shown scientifically to harm anything. If I were a car company, I would stop selling cars to California. How many auto plants are in California anyhow? Californians must already purchase the majority of their electricity from other states. Hardly a self sufficient place.

We have work ahead of us.
This may be one of the reasons we are in shackles.
Many times through the last few months this thought has occurred to me and I keep wondering why an issue hasn't been made of it. Hello Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly, Fox News, etc.
If Romney was running a foot race with the other candidates and at the end of the race, after blood tests were taken, it was discovered that he was on steroids would he not be disqualified. In this case, dollars are his steroids. Without belaboring the point, Michigan, the state Romney was born in serves as a prime example. If we went back and looked at all the races from this perspective, Romney would be so far back in the dust we wouldn't be able to see him. Romney hasn't a clue what life is about for most of us. I am talking about a gross income of $100,000.00 a year of less. Those of us in this group know what a realistic budget is about after funding the health, housing, education, and other needs required in supporting a family.
We the people need to put people in office that truly understand "we the people".

Freddie Hubbard & Woody Shaw: Desert Moonlight
Desert Moonlight
Woody Shaw (trumpet) and Freddie Hubbard (trumpet)
The Complete Freddie Hubbard and Woody Shaw Sessions (Blue Note 32747 )
Woody Shaw (trumpet), Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), Kenny Garrett (alto sax), Mulgrew Miller (piano), Cecil McBee (bass), Carl Allen (drums).
Composed by Lee Morgan.
Recorded: Englewood Cliffs, NJ, November 21 or 22, 1985
Rating: 93/100 (learn more)
The meeting on record of Woody Shaw and all-time trumpet great Freddie Hubbard was a cause for rapt anticipation before this side came out in 1986. (They had already met under the leadership of Benny Golson on the European Timeless label three years before, but somewhat under the radar.) The results were indeed historic, if a little confined by the Blue Note repertory approach to the material played. I can't help feeling that, all in all, Woody was heard to better effect on the Hubbard/Shaw recordings—he's always poised and fluent where sometimes Freddie strains a bit. They both sound great on this track, a cover of Lee Morgan's "Desert Moonlight".

Ash Wednesday begins the season of Lent for Christian families, a time of preparation and spiritual discipline for the sacrifices Jesus has made for us. According to Catholic Culture's March 5 report, this is the perfect time to encourage your children to "reflect on what regular penances they will perform through the season of Lent." But sometimes trying to find the right balance on how to explain the meaning of Lent to your children, or grandchildren, can prove a difficult task.
Kids know that Advent is preparing for the birth of Christ, (a happy time) but the season of Lent, (not so happy) is not as easy to explain. For most children, Lent means giving up something they like, such as candy, chips, or ice cream, all the way to Easter Sunday; but fasting, does not always have to involve giving up food.
Why not encourage your children to "fast" from arguing with each other, or fast from their computer, iphone, ipad, or television for just one hour every day. This extra hour would be a great time for spending it together as a family, in prayer or having your children take turns reading their favorite Bible story out loud.
More ways to observe Lent with your kids that includes printable pages, crafts, recipes and more.
Another great way to get your children of all ages, (mom and dad too) involved in the season of Lent, is through the "Jelly Bean Prayer." Everyone gets a small empty jar and a copy of the Jelly Bean Prayer. Each color of the jellybean describes a virtue, and a corresponding behavior or good deed. The white jellybeans can not be earned, for they represent the grace of Christ, a gift we can't earn for ourselves.
The jellybeans are collected up until Easter Sunday, when the white ones can now be added to the individual jars, filling them up with Christ's grace for us.
Red for the blood of Christ (a sacrifice).
Green for shade of the palm (doing a good deed).
Yellow for God's light (kindness to others).
Orange for prayers at twilight (good behavior at bed time prayer).
Purple for days of sorrow (apologizing to someone).
Pink for each new tomorrow (forgiving others).
Getting your family involved with something as simple as the Jelly Bean Prayer is fun for everyone, and a way for your children to learn that Jesus is always willing to do whatever it takes to show His love for us, and He wants us to do the same for Him.

1995 Audi A8 Sway Bars
First and foremost, Audi A8 sway bars are designed as safety features, implemented automatically when high levels of torsion increase a vehicle's rollover risk. The greater the stiffness of the 1995 Audi A8 sway bar is, the greater the resulting amount of force required to induce a rollover is. SUVs, trucks, and other larger vehicles are especially prone to these rollover forces, and so it's more critical for owners of these types of vehicles to install effective sway bars to prevent these unfortunate outcomes.

STANFORD, Calif. - Stanford men's gymnastics took third in its fifth meet of the season Saturday night, posting a score of 343.600 and finishing behind the Japanese All-Stars (354.700) and California (344.900). The Golden Bears captured the season series 3-2 in the last regular season matchup between the long-time rivals.
Japan's junior national team dominated the meet, winning five of the six team events and taking individual honors on high bar, still rings and floor. Chihiro Yoshioka captured the all-around with a score of 87.400 along with the parallel bars title. Takuya Nagano finished first on rings and Masahiro Endo took floor exercise.
The shorthanded Cardinal were without both gymnasts who have competed in the all-around this season. Eddie Penev took a week off after participating in every event this year and Brian Knott had surgery last week to repair a torn bicep.
Despite their place on the scoreboard, head coach Thom Glielmi was please with the way his squad performed.
"Our strategy is to make sure we're within striking distance of a national championship," said Glielim. "We have two or three guys in every event who are pushing to do routines with a high degree of difficulty and we saw them come through today on rings and pommel horse in particular. The team saw the strategy start to pan out tonight and that was a very positive experience. Overall I was pleased."
Sean Senters set season-highs on floor (14.900) and vault (15.500), tying Penev for the best vault in the country this season. Cale Robinson nailed the vault right before Senters and that gave the redshirt freshman plenty of adrenaline for his performance.
"Vault was really exciting," said Senters. "The guys in front of me set me up so well. Cale was able to get that 15.000 with 9.800 execution and I got this feeling that I was going to blast it, I knew I was going to hit it. I just let loose and did what I knew I could do. That's definitely the best vault of my life."
In addition to Senters' individual title the Cardinal finished 1-2 on pommel horse with John Martin's 15.300 and Gabriel Alvarado's career-high 15.200.
Glielmi was happy to continue the tradition of competing against the Japanese College All-Stars.
"Hosting the Japanese team is great. They're peaking for this meet. This is a big deal for that team and the coaches want them to have this experience because it's so different from traditional Japanese meets where the crowd waits for a routine to end before applauding. They don't have fans cheering and screaming during events and all the craziness that goes on during collegiate meets. They really like it and we're glad they come back every year, they do great gymnastics."
The men compete again next Sunday at 2 p.m. when they host Michigan at the Stanford Showdown at Burnham Pavilion.

I tried Glocks, but they felt too big in my hand. It was a stretch to easily release the mag. The 9c feels great! A perfect fit...
I tried Glocks, but they felt too big in my hand. It was a stretch to easily release the mag. The 9c feels great! A perfect fit...
I'd go with a Khar over the Smith just because I think the Smith grip might be a strech for her with "small, arthritic hands". Of course she'd know best after trying them on at a shop. My gf has a hard time with my 40c, she has med size hands. But I do have the biggest grip insert on it.
My first looks would be at the M&P 9c, and also at the Beretta Nano--also a 9mm--but the Nano doesn't have a pinky finger magazine extension option yet--it's still pretty new. If Sig's making a P239--a 9mm version of their fine P238, that should be a fine small gun. The Kahr's are nice, but their lower price end models (like Sig's entry level guns) definitely aren't as nice as their their middle and more high priced models that made their fine reputations.
The ergonomics, the somewhat softer and adjustable grips on the M&P9c might make it the best choice, but besides reviews, you never really know until you get them out on the range.
+1 on the XD. I have an XD9C for EDC and my wife loves it. So much so that we're getting another for her to carry. She's petite with small hands, though not arthritic. Just my $.02.

Well, your wife obviously enjoys here Sig P232. Sigs are great pistols and the P232 really isn't that small of a handgun. My recommendation would be to stay with Sig Sauer since she is already familiar with Sig's double/single action trigger. Saying that, I would highly recommend a P239 in 9mm. Slightly larger than the P232, but in a major caliber. I have Glocks (26 and 30sf) and Sigs (P226 and P220) and the triggers are not at all alike. I might even consider the new Sig P224 in 9mm, but it is my understanding that it is now only available in double action (DAK) and will be offered in da/sa later. It is basically a cut down P229....similar in size to a Glock 26, but with an alloy frame instead of polymer like the Glock. But since it is a new Sig design, I probably wouldn't be interested until it's been tested in the market for at least a year or so. Do some research on the internet and I think you'll find that the Sig P239 is highly respected.......
^ Those Sig suggestions are definitely worth pursuing, particularly given your wife's current preferences.
The Springfield EMP is very nice, but you'll have to be sure that your wife is proficient at its manual-of-arms.
Kahrs are also very nice, but their longer, typically heavier, DAO trigger may make the pistol problematic for your wife, particularly based on her list of dislikes. Manipulations are another concern, particularly as the smaller ones also tend to have heavier recoil springs, making racking the slide as well as malfunction clearances more of a concern.
The Ruger SR9c is also one of those very ergo-friendly pistols, but it tends to require a number of rounds downrange before the recoil spring tension gets to a point where those with compromised grip-strength feel comfortable with manipulations.
Despite these factors, though, those, I think, are still worth checking out.
And as with others here, I'd favor the S&W M&P9c, Walther PPS, as well as the XD9-SC/XDm9 3.8 Compact and Glock G26. I'd actually also encourage you to look at the Glock G19.
Recoil feel is very subjective in nature - the difference between two guns that one person perceives as harsh and intolerable may be all but unnoticeable to another. It's got a lot to do with our unique anatomy, and how that interacts with the specific gun. Yes, while the general rule-of-thumb, as based on simple physics, is unavoidable - that smaller, lighter guns will recoil more harshly than one that's larger and heavier - these personal difference can make a big difference.
Get out to a range that has the guns in their rental fleet, or borrow and beg of friends and family, to use their guns at the range, live-fire.
Cornered Cat
Don't choose the gun for her. Let her do it. It will be much better for the both of you.
I only tried the SA XD9sc, some Glocks, and the M&P 9c. The XD felt great and was fun to shoot, but being heavier than the M&P, I went with S&W. No regrets! I might add a .380 for a smaller carry in some circumstances.
I recently got my wife a Springfield XD9 sub-compact. She absolutely loves it. Not too big, nice trigger pull, high capacity mag in a small gun and we're both fans of the grip safety.
I love the Rami. also the HK P2000SK.
Welcome to the forum and good luck with your search.
I'm very appreciative of all the replies -- great stuff! This is a very helpful forum, lots of freedom-loving people - awesome! :)
Based on feedback on this thread the short list so far is looking like we will try to focus on the following:
1. Get to the range and let her live fire rentals/borrowed pistols and let her decide among
2. M&P 9C, Kahr, XDM9, Sig P239, Ruger SR9C
3. everything else

could be more delicious than two buttery rounds of sugar coated shortbread
sandwiched together with tangy raspberry jam? This recipe comes from Gale
Gand's cookbook Chocolate
and Vanilla. It is what you would call a
flip book; that is, it is divided into two sections. One section is
devoted to chocolate recipes, while the other section has recipes using
vanilla. I like how, besides excellent recipes, she also covers these
ingredient's history, how they are made, and all about choosing which type
to buy.
Sandwich cookies are all about contrasts;
both in flavor and in texture. This is definitely true with Butterball
Cookies where we contrast tart and tangy raspberry jam with sweet and
buttery shortbread. If you look at a sandwich cookie you will notice that
both cookies are about the same size. This is important, so when rolling
the balls of dough try to make them all the same size. The last thing you
want to have is two cookies that don't fit together perfectly so you have jam
leaking out the sides. Also, do not overfill with jam as you want just
enough filling to hold the cookies together. So put the filling in the
center of one cookie and then gently place the second cookie on top of the
Although you can use store
bought raspberry jam, I often make my own. It is really quite simple and
the flavor is far superior to any commercial jam. So to make your own, place
2 cups (225 grams) (8 ounces) frozen unsweetened raspberries and 1/4 cup
(50 grams) of granulated white sugar in a small saucepan and
bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring
occasionally, for about 20 - 25 minutes or until most of the liquid has
evaporated. Do not let it burn. Remove from heat and pour into a heatproof measuring cup. You
will have about one cup (240 ml) of jam. Add a drop
or two of lemon juice, if desired. Cover and place in the refrigerator to
firm up for at least a day before using.
Cookies: In a separate
bowl whisk the flour with the salt.
In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter
until smooth (about 1
minute). Add the sugar and beat until creamy and smooth (about 2 minutes). Beat in the
vanilla extract. Gently stir in the flour mixture just until incorporated. Wrap
the dough in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator
for 2-3 hours, or until firm.
Roll the dough
into small balls that are about the size of a hazelnut (about 3/4 inch) (about 2
cm). Place the balls
of dough on a parchment lined baking pan and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
This will make the dough very firm which will prevent the cookies from
spreading during baking.
Preheat the oven
to 375 degree F (190 degrees C) and place the oven rack in the center of the
When the balls of
dough are firm, remove from freezer. Bake in preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies
are firm but not brown. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
Place the sugar on a large plate. While the cookies are still a little warm,
lightly roll each
cookie in the sugar. Place on a wire rack to finish cooling. Then take one
cookie and spread a little raspberry jam on the underside of the cookie. Top
with a second cookie to form a sandwich. Repeat with the rest of the cookies.
Makes about 36
sandwich cookies.
Store in an
airtight container in the refrigerator for about one week. Bring to room
temperature before serving.

Ford Unveils 2013 Fusion Energi Plug-In Hybrid at the Detroit Auto Show!
BY: Mike Chino
Start Slideshow
- Ford Fusion EnergiFord just kicked off the 2012 Detroit Auto Show with a blast by unveiling its brand new 2013 Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid - and Inhabitat is reporting live from NAIAS to bring you an exclusive first look at this sexy new energy-efficient sedan! The 2013 Fusion Energi takes design cues from Ford's gorgeous gull-wing EVOS concept car, and it boasts a plug-in hybrid drivetrain capable of achieving the equivalent of 100 miles per gallon. That's right folks - 100 mpg. Jalopnik is calling this latest Fusion the world's most efficient car*, and it's easy to see why. The vehicle also features an impressive array of technological advancements - including Sync voice control, a lane-keeping system, and a system that parallel parks the car automatically - which have led it to be crowned the official car of CES 2012. Read on for a closer look at the 2013 Ford Fusion Energi - from its impressive energy-efficient drivetrain and svelte low-slung stance to its hexagonal grille reminiscent of an Aston Martin - and be sure to check out our photo gallery for exclusive pics straight from the dramatic show floor!1
- Ford Fusion Energi HybridWith smoke machines, lasers, 360 degree giant monitors, and cars continually driving onto the stage, these Ford stage show planners really don't mess around when it comes to dramatic unveils at the NAIAS.2
- Ford Fusion EnergiFord is obviously really excited about their sleek new plugin hybrid Ford Fusion, and we can see why.3
- Ford Fusion EnergiThe brand new Fusion is sexier than previous models, and is certainly one of the better looking mid-size sedans out there -- and the fuel efficiency is pretty spectacular too.4
- Ford Fusion EnergiThe 2013 Fusion is the latest rendition of Ford's mid-sized sedan, and it's poised to go head to head with the Toyota Camry - the current best-seller in its class. The 2013 Fusion trades the 2012 model's shuttered fascia for a streamlined hexagonal grille and a sharply set array of headlights - design elements descended from the EVOS concept car that Ford unveiled at last year's Frankfurt Auto Show.5
- Ford Fusion EnergiHard-cut lines give the 2013 Fusion an aggressive profile similar to that of the Fiesta and the Focus. Ford has conducted intensive customer research on the car's design to ensure that the car resonates with international markets.6
- Ford Fusion EnergiIn terms of power trains, the 2013 Fusion will be available in both a 47 mph hybrid model and a plug-in hybrid Fusion Energi model, which will be capable of achieving the equivalent of over 100 miles per gallon.7
- Ford Fusion EnergiThe car will also feature a range of next-gen technological advancements like a system that alerts drivers when they stray from their lane, a blind-spot warning system, and a system that automatically parallel parks the vehicle - a boon for city drivers!8
- Ford Fusion Energi"We did this deliberately different than other manufacturers," explained Ford's Derrick Kuzak.9
- Ford Fusion Energi"Other manufacturers create one vehicle thats unique and put a lot of cost into that."10
- Ford Fusion Energi Hybrid"Here at Ford we call it the power of choice. The automobile industry is about economies of scale."11
- 2013 Ford Fusion Plugin Hybrid Reveal at the NAIAS"We put five different power trains into the Fusion - that means customers have the choice of five different platforms."12
- 2013 Ford Fusion Plugin Hybrid Reveal at the NAIAS"One-offs cost a lot of money and with the Ford Fusion we wanted to drive down costs."13
- 2013 Ford Fusion Plugin Hybrid Reveal at the NAIASWhereas in the past Ford released different versions of the same car for different regions of the world, the 2013 Fusion will be rolled out across the globe.14
