Some people argue that the most reliable cars are those which are well maintained by the owner, but the small SUV models reviews shows that Asian cars, GM, and Ford still maintain the top position for making the most reliable vehicles. General Motors comes in second after Honda and Toyota, with all findings a result of Consumer Report's 2010 Annual Auto Survey, which considers the reviews of subscriber experiences with over one million vehicles and small SUV models.
Small SUV models and Crossovers
Although GM was known as making some of the least reliable cars and small SUV models in the past, they're now ahead of major European cars which are manufacturing small SUV models. Overall as a company, GM has maintained their top position in making the most reliable cars. When many GM models were looked at and have taken small SUV reviews, almost seventy percent of the different models were rated as average or better when it came to reliability.
Midsize SUV Reviews and Ratings
Chevrolet also had a good rating in making small SUV models, as small SUV reviews shows that eighty-three percent of Chevrolet models had an average or higher score for reliability. Ford has its own recognition maintained as the most reliable automaker in America, their small SUV reviews has gained ninety percent of Fords and Lincolns maintaining an average rating. Many Asian brands actually still do well overall as shown by the small SUV model and midsize SUV reviews, such as Honda, Acura, Infiniti, Scion, and Toyota. However, these small and midsize SUV models also have a lower average when it comes to predicted reliability by consumers.

Honda and Acura remains a very reliable vehicle with strong customer testimony and the sales that back them. Nissan's all models generally do fine, with the exception of the Nissan Cube. Subaru also has a good market as it is liked by many people, but the WRX is the only Subaru model that was unable to build its market and it has very low ratings.
Reliability of Fuel Efficient SUVs
Of course when talking about unreliable vehicles, there is one name which is mostly used when talking about unreliable vehicles. Chrysler actually keeps the spot it's had for years, placing low as a manufacturer. European automakers have been making reliability improvements, but while Porsche and Volvo models are not liked by the people, Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz actually take the spot as the worst automakers in every aspect. There are some European cars that maintain decent ratings though, like the Porsche Boxster as compared to the Audi A6 3.0T and Jaguar XF which have the worst.
SUV Comparison Australia and USA
Focusing on best SUVs in Australia and USA, it's easy to conclude that GM, Ford, and Asian cars dominate the market and stand to maintain strong reliability. While GM announces to discontinue many models that received less than average ratings, Ford has chosen to work on improving older models so little glitches can be worked out, so perhaps we'll soon see Ford making strong, reliable vehicles. As always, just don't forget your regular maintenance, and no matter what car you drive, you'll experience greater reliability. These small SUV models reviews clearly show that which are the most popular small and midsize SUV and which is not reliable.

Randy Pench, Sacramento Bee, Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — Miguel Cabrera danced on a chair in one corner of the visiting clubhouse, puffing a cigar. Prince Fielder doused his young sons, Jadyn and Haven, with non-alcoholic sparkling wine, then handed them each a bottle to shake and spray.
Just when the celebration seemed to be ending, Justin Verlander ran through the door and screamed "Whoo!"
On the mound and in the clubhouse, Verlander made sure Detroit's postseason party wasn't over yet.
The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner and MVP backed up his credentials in the biggest moment of the season Thursday night, throwing a four-hitter in the decisive Game 5 to get the Tigers back to the AL championship series for a second straight year with a 6-0 victory over the overachieving Oakland Athletics.
"This is where legends are made," catcher Alex Avila said. "Tonight, he basically put us on his back and said, 'We're not going to lose.'"
Verlander delivered in the division series a day after closer Jose Valverde failed to hold a two-run lead in the ninth that pushed Detroit to the brink after jumping out to a 2-0 series lead back home.
Verlander gave Valverde — and every other arm — the night off.
The right-hander tossed his first career postseason shutout and complete game with a 122-pitch masterpiece. He struck out 11 and walked one.
"He had a look in his eye today," manager Jim Leyland said. "A complete-game look in his eye."
The Tigers flew back to Detroit to see if they will face either the New York Yankees or Baltimore Orioles. That series is tied at two games apiece heading into Game 5 on Friday night in New York. Game 1 of the ALCS is scheduled for Saturday.
If Baltimore wins, it will start in Detroit. Otherwise the Motown crew is headed to the Big Apple.
"These moments you can't even describe. But it does get better every round, and we want that feeling," Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski said, his white-shirt soaked in bubbly. "We've felt this before. We want that even better feeling."
Verlander made sure they'll have a chance.
He was so sharp nobody in the bullpen ever got up to throw. Verlander struck out 22 in his wins on both ends of this nail-biting series, and saved his best for last.
After the Tigers squandered two chances to clinch the series, including blowing a two-run, ninth-inning lead in Game 4, Leyland left it all up to Verlander, just as he said he would.
"I think it's one of those things I expected to go nine innings," Verlander said. "In this situation, in a Game 5, I wanted to go all the way."
Austin Jackson hit an RBI double in the third and a run-scoring single during a four-run seventh. Fielder also had an RBI single.
The Tigers are on to another ALCS despite getting just one RBI all series from Triple Crown winner Cabrera — on a bases-loaded hit by pitch in the final game, no less. Booed by the yellow towel-twirling sellout crowd of 36,393 each time he stepped into the batter's box, Cabrera finished 5 for 20, and it was his blooper dropped by center fielder Coco Crisp in a 5-4 Game 2 victory Sunday that allowed two runs to score.
Leave it to Verlander to erase all the mistakes — and Leyland all but called his ace's latest gem.
The Detroit skipper gave the ball to his 17-game winner and said beforehand the Tigers would likely win or lose with the hard-throwing right-hander on the mound.
"Justin Verlander's a pretty tough chore for anybody," Leyland said.
And, against the A's — or anybody else, for that matter — Verlander usually wins.

Reviews for Southwest Enchilada Bake
"Really good flavor. We left out the black eyed peas."
"I've made this casserole several times, but like it best with black beans. Also, your choice of enchilada sauce will drastically alter the flavor of the finished product. We really like the line of Rick Bayless sauces, sold in pouches in the Mexican/Asian aisle at the grocery store. It's not the cheapest but it is very flavorful, and worth the money. (No connection to Rick Bayless - I just like his red enchilada sauce.) A green salad along side is nice for some texture, and a side of sour cream helps if you got carried away with the hot pepper sauce. Five star comfort food!"
"Loved it!!!"
"I make this all the time it freezes well and my family loves it !!!"
"I had Made this before and liked it but mmy family did not say to much but then my daughter suggested i fix it again I know she really love it because she is very picky !"

The Debt-Stress Connection
The debt-stress connection: Fighting the saber-tooth tiger continued...
Our "fight-or-flight" system evolved as a way to physically deal with a physical danger.The problem is now that same response gets activated by everyday encounters. For example, getting stuck in a traffic jam or arguing with your spouse can bring it on.
"One of the bigger things that activates it is when people see trouble in their finances," Winner tells WebMD. "If people don't know how to deal with this higher adrenaline level, then the levels of stress can build and build. This can cause real physical and physiologic changes in the body that can account for people feeling poorly."
The stress may be correlated with physical symptoms like heartburn, headaches, and abdominal pains. "If you have a knot in your stomach all the time, or if you're feeling anxious and worried a lot of the time, that would be an area of concern," he says. "These are signs that stress is starting to take a toll and you should give it more attention than the average person."
Former financial reporter and author of Zero Debt: The Ultimate Guide to Financial Freedom Lynette Khalfani-Cox knows firsthand the havoc debt can wreak on your life. "I was living above my means," she says. "It's a tremendous burden. The true cost of debt and financial problems isn't just the interest rate you're paying to Mastercard or Visa. The true cost is the toll that it's taking on your life and your relationships."
By making a series of important changes, Khalfani-Cox was able to pay off $100,000 in credit-card debt in three years and now coaches others struggling with the same issues.
Is debt making you tired?
"I am a big ball of stress," admits Chris, a 30-something blogger who writes about dealing with $75,000 in credit card debt and a possible foreclosure at MyDebtJourney.com. "Our mountain of debt is constantly on my mind," he says, "but I don't feel as stressed about it since I started blogging." Before, he would often stay up until 3 a.m. worrying about how he would take care of his wife and two young kids.

I knew Gary wasn't happy.
Early in my career, when I first began leading team-leaders, one of them was clearly struggling – he looked frustrated, sounded frustrated, and it didn't take a genius to know something was bothering Gary.
So I asked if I could buy him lunch and hear what was on his mind.
As we ate, he began sharing complaint after complaint…he'd been disrespected and abused by a senior manager, his team wasn't doing as well as he hoped, he wasn't sure the company's vision matched his own…and so on.
Gary had appreciated my invitation to lunch and the opportunity to be heard.
But as he started sharing his concerns, I couldn't stand it…
He was only halfway through his first issue before I interrupted and started "helping". I offered solutions, tried to help him see the issue or person differently, or pointed out where he might be responsible.
Finally, he looked at me and said, "David! You asked me how I was feeling and what's bothering me…quit arguing. I'm just trying to tell you how I feel."
I could have helped Gary, but I wasn't able to.
The good news is that it doesn't have to be that way…
Good Intentions or Effective Action?
Gary needed help and so do your team members, but you won't be able to help them if you make the same critical leadership mistake I did:
I didn't keep my mouth shut long enough.
We so often think of leadership and influence as talking.
We see rousing speeches in movies, we remember key pieces of advice we've heard from our mentors, and we know we have something worthwhile to share.
But when we think of influence only in terms of what we say, we leave out the most important piece:
A recent university study found that when it comes to influencing others, a person's listening skills outrank their verbal ability.
It makes sense: listening builds trust and helps you get the information you need to offer the person what they most need.
When it comes to helping someone, good intentions don't make the difference. Effective action, what you do that works, means everything.
I'd intended to help, but in my youthful rush to show what I knew and be valuable, I'd missed the most important thing I could have done.
5 Tips to Improve Your Listening
1. Put away the phone.
Put it on silent, put it face down or stash it in a bag. Get rid of it.
You simply cannot give someone your full attention with the mental stimulation of email, voice messages, and texts. Put it away and focus on the person.
2. Eye contact
Don't be creepy, but maintain consistent eye contact. For that time, there is nothing else going on, but what the other person has to say.
3. Offer empathy.
Empathy communicates that you understand how the other person feels. You're not agreeing, sanctioning, promoting or anything else – just recognize the emotions.
Examples: "That must have been frustrating." "Sounds like you felt like no one else cared?" "That would be upsetting." "Wow – you must have been excited."
If they don't know that you connect, why should they listen to you?
4. Summarize
Before going any farther, take a moment to summarize what the other person has said. Use your own words and ask if you've got it right.
If not, ask questions or encourage them to help you get it.
The idea is that you are fully connecting with both their emotions and thoughts. Until you've done that, you haven't listened.
5. Ask permission
Once you've fully connected to the emotion and the thought, if you feel you have something helpful to add to the conversation, ask permission to share it.
This is a huge integrity move and demonstrates tremendous respect for the other person.
It doesn't have to be complicated. Something like, "I appreciate you trusting me enough to share those things. Would you be interested in hearing ways you might address that or is it enough to get it off your chest?"
When you fully connect and have acknowledged the other person's dignity, then you're in a position to be truly helpful.
I learned this one the hard way – and I'm thankful to Gary for having the courage (or frustration) to tell me what I was doing.

Hyundai Beats Expectations with 13% Net Income Rise
SEOUL—Hyundai Motor Co. reported a 13% increase in its third-quarter net profit, beating analysts' average forecast, as shifting more production overseas helped offset the impact of strikes at the South Korean car maker's local factories.
The company also said Thursday that it is on track to exceed its sales target for this year. It projected strong growth in the U.S. and in China, where it has been the unexpected beneficiary of a territorial spat between China and Japan that has led Chinese consumers to shun products associated with Japanese manufacturers.
Consolidated net profit for the three months ended Sept. 30 was 2.166 trillion won ($2 billion), up from 1.918 trillion won a year earlier. It beat the average forecast of two trillion won from 15 analysts polled earlier by Dow Jones Newswires.
Favorable exchange rates also helped the bottom line in the third quarter, Hyundai said. The average value of the U.S. dollar during the quarter was 4.7% higher than a year earlier, at 1,133.54 won compared with 1,083.04 won. For 2013, the company is drawing up a business plan that is based on the expectation the won will be stronger than 1,076 to the dollar. Hyundai forecast an average exchange rate of 1,132 for 2012.
Shares in Hyundai Motor gained 3.9% to 226,500 won Thursday, outperforming the benchmark Kospi's 0.6% gain.

A COUPLE whose baby was born two months premature has joined News Shopper in raising cash for a vital baby care unit.
Michael Avery, aged 25, and 23-year-old Leigh Flynn, of Walden Close, Belvedere, welcomed their son Harris at 32 weeks on August 4 last year.
He spent 19 days in Darent Valley Hospital's special baby care unit after suffering from jaundice, low blood sugar levels and had to be fed through a tube as he could not suck.
News Shopper has been helping staff raise cash towards a £400,000 wish list of equipment they need to enhance services.
So far the Little Buds Fund has raised around £136,800.
Miss Flynn said: "Each time I look at photos of him when he was so small it makes me cry remembering how traumatic it was when he was first born.
"The staff were so kind and supportive but it didn't take away the emotional roller coaster we found ourselves on when he first made an appearance into the world and needed so much care.
"He looks so well and growing fast and we now feel passionate about giving something back."
The couple calculated the care for Harris at the hospital cost around £17,000, which they have set as their fundraising target.
They are both taking part in the British 10K London run on July 8 and the London to Brighton bike ride on September 16.
Around 15 to 20 per cent of babies born at the hospital require treatment in the unit.
To join the fundraising events, visit dvh.nhs.uk or call fundraising manager Tracey Cummins on 01322 428256 or email fundraising.dvh.nhs.uk To make a donation, visit justgiving.com/Leigh-Flynn-Little-buds

Vladimir Luxuria, a former Communist lawmaker in the Italian parliament who has become a prominent transgender rights crusader and television personality, told The Associated Press she was held for several hours Sunday before she was released. She said she was not charged. Her website published a photograph of her after her release. Before her arrest, she tweeted: "I'm in Sochi. Greetings in the colors of the rainbow, in Putin's face." Sochi organizers said Monday they had no information of any such incident. "We've talked to police and they have told us there is no record whatsoever to any detention or arrest," Sochi organizing committee spokeswoman Alexandra Kosterina said. A duty officer at the central police station in Sochi told The Associated Press they have never had an Italian national in custody. Protesters are routinely arrested at unauthorized rallies in Moscow. Often, officers at the police station are so overwhelmed with paperwork they keep some people at the station for hours and let them go later without registering the detention or giving the detained person any document explaining it. Luxuria's agent, Fabio Saccani, told the AP from Italy his client had been held for five to six hours in a station room, and she was unable to understand what was happening because only Russian was spoken. Saccani said police confiscated the rainbow flag from Luxuria, who tried to grab it back. At that point, he added, she was taken away. Saccani was not exactly sure where this happened. Andrei Tanichev, owner of Sochi's main gay club Mayak, said Monday that Luxuria was there Sunday night and was "enjoying" herself and "even took part in the (drag) show." Tanichev said Luxuria left on her own and he has no knowledge of the detention. "I'm sure that the games will not be used as a platform for any demonstration and I hope it stays that way," IOC spokesman Mark Adams said. Russian organizers had set up a protest zone leading to the Olympics, but no major protests had taken place. On Monday, however, a handful of small protests were reported: —A Russian environmentalist group said a jailed activist who has protested the impact of the Olympics has gone on hunger strike and is complaining about poor jail conditions. Yevgeny Vitishko was sentenced last week to three years in prison for spray-painting a fence in an area where construction is banned. Adams said Russian authorities assured the Olympic body that Vitishko's punishment was "not games-related." The Environmental Watch of the North Caucasus group said it posted a video in which Vitishko complains the jail is cold and crowded with sick inmates. —Activists say a community leader of the Circassian ethnic group has also been detained. The Adyge Khase community group, which is native to the Sochi region and opposes the Olympics on their ancestors' land, said Monday that leader Asker Sokht was held Friday near the city of Maikop under unclear circumstances. Police in Maikop would not comment. —In central Sochi, David Khakim held a one-man picket outside the city administration when two police officers took him away. Khakim later posted pictures of his arrest on Twitter. Khakim was protesting the three-year prison sentence given last week to environmental activist Evgeny Vitishko for spray-painting a fence on a property in a forest where construction is banned. ——— AP Sports Writer Stephen Wilson contributed to this report.

TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Okla.,
-- Maj. Gen. P. David Gillett Jr. spoke Feb. 19 at Tinker's Logistics Officers Association Crossroads Chapter luncheon.
Held in the Tinker Club ballroom, the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center commander shared with approximately 80 people his observations, advice and lessons learned during his more than 30-year Air Force career.
"Be involved in your mission and listen to your people," said General Gillett. "We're really all about being Airmen. We're here to deliver air power, and at the end of the day, we're about flying sorties and supporting people. It's a life and death business." General Gillett, who took command of the OC-ALC in January, recalled experiences from his days as first lieutenant and major.
As a first lieutenant stationed at Lakenheath Airfield in England, he was the flight-line avionics, job control and aircraft maintenance branch officer-in-charge, with the 48th Tactical Fighter Wing.
The general said one day, after about three weeks on the job, he hopped in a truck and drove to the other side of the flight-line. He heard personnel talk over the radio about needing a part. He then watched them struggle with transporting the item. But, instead of doing anything to help them, he returned to his office. Once there, a familiar chief master sergeant stormed into the lieutenant's office and reprimanded him for not doing anything.
"That was a career moment," General Gillett said. "I thought about what he said for about two-and-a-half seconds and said, 'Chief, you know what, you're right.'"
The general said he learned from those mistakes and took advantage of other errors.
"Mistakes are your friends," the general said. "They give you a chance to learn better than any book you'll ever find. If you make a mistake, you're doing something."
As a major stationed at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, N.C., he was a maintenance supervisor for the 4th Component Repair Station, which later became the 4th Aircraft Generation Squadron.
On one occasion, he failed a local exercise aircraft generation, the general said, the deputy commander for maintenance called then-Major Gillett into his office and, with the door open, he let "Major Gillett" know that his performance was not up to standard. After the reprimand, Major Gillett talked to his personnel and two weeks later they got a chance to repeat the exercise. This time, they achieved an excellent rating. A month later, he directed the first-ever real-world F-15E generation and deployed to Operation Desert Shield.
"Own up to a mistake and then figure out what it is that you could have done better," the general said. "Build on that and make it your strength."
The general also credited a diverse self-improvement reading list for his success and said having fun in the workplace improves the job at hand.The meeting wrapped after General Gillett was given the LOA 2008 Lt. Gen. Donald J. Wetekam Award. This year, the Tinker LOA Chapter won the award named for the Air Force's former Deputy Chief of Staff, Installations and Logistics. The award is presented to one large LOA chapter each year. Large chapters have more than 40 national members.
LOA is a professional development organization designed for military and civilian personnel in logistics career fields. There are more than 3,500 members world-wide.

Feb. 11, 2004
Seattle - Washington football coach Keith Gilbertson announced today the hiring of Charlie Dickey as Washington's offensive line coach. He replaces Brent Myers who resigned to accept an assistant coaching position at Arizona State.
Dickey comes to Washington after working the last 12 years at Arizona. Last season he coached the Wildcat tight ends after spending the previous 11 seasons as the offensive line coach. During his tenure with the Wildcats he developed a number of players who earned All-Pac-10 honors. Yusuf Scott won the conference's Morris Trophy I 1998 as the league's outstanding offensive lineman.
Whether drafted or signed as free agents, 12 Arizona linemen moved on to NFL active rosters since the 1990 season. Among Dickey's recent UA players was Super Bowl starting left guard Edwin Mulitalo of the Baltimore Ravens. Dickey also has sent Yusuf Scott (Arizona), Frank Middleton (Tampa Bay) and Jose Portilla (Atlanta), among others, into the professional ranks in recent drafts, or in the case of Portilla and Steven Grace, via free agency. Makoa Freitas was drafted last April by the Indianapolis Colts.
Dickey was a standout offensive guard at Arizona in 1983-84, playing every snap during the 1983 season. He was an all-state offensive lineman at Scottsdale, Ariz., Saguaro High School and an all-conference guard at Scottsdale Community College. He transferred to Arizona for the 1983 season and started two seasons at offensive guard, earning second-team All-Pac-10 honors in 1984 and voted the team's offensive Most Valuable Player.
Dickey was one of Arizona's most durable and tough linemen in the early '80s. He played all 840 offensive plays in 1983 and had a streak of 1,230 consecutive offensive plays over two seasons. He played for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League in 1987.
He served as a graduate assistant under Dick Tomey at Arizona in 1988 and was an assistant coach at Scottsdale Community College under coach Shane Bates in 1989. Dickey coached under Northern Arizona head coach Steve Axman during 1990-91.
Dickey earned a B.S. degree in business administration from Arizona in 1987. He is married to the former Lisa Bradshaw, a women's basketball player at Arizona in 1983-85, and they have three daughters, Jazmin, Tasha, Shyanne, and a son, Charles J. Their fifth child, daughter Chanel, passed away at the age of 3.

Presenters: Barbara Fritschel Coordinator & Moderator, U.S. Courts Library; Stina Van Patten, Speaker, Public Law Library of King County; Joanne Dugan Colvin, Speaker, University of Baltimore Law Library; Joan M. Bellistri, Speaker, Anne Arundel County Public Law Library.
Recommended highly for public law librarians and very valuable to all other librarians.
I went to this program hoping to get a couple of new ideas for improving services to public patrons. I also brought some wariness and skepticism about the effectiveness of brainstorming in a large group. I am pleased to report that Ileft the program with dozens of new ideas for providing services to public patrons, a new adjective phrase "individuals without attorneys," and a used new rocking brainstorming tool.
You can read the ideas generated during the brainstorming session in the new member created community, "Services to the Public" on AALLNET, in the document library, http://community.aallnet.org/Communities/Resources/ViewDocument/?DocumentKey=6fb1fd5d-505c-4b48-86d2-b96ea2902d32
Stina Van Patten from King County public law library gave a nice overview of the challenges involved with creating podcasts. A podcast of her presentation, "Wonder What it Takes to Produce a Podcast?" is available on the King County Law Library site http://www.kcll.org/podcasts/wonder-what-it-takes-produce-podcast . Time constraints did not permit her to go into great detail of the actual workflow of producing and editing a podcast. She did however include references to applications for editing podcasts, GarageBand and Audacity.
Joanne Colvin proposed that we take the individuals from where they are when we began teaching them legal research. Namely recognize and accept the widespread familiarity with Google, embrace Google as a starting point. Teach them how to do legal research on Google, how to evaluate sites, etc. Then instruct them how to use premium databases.
John Bellilstri described how her law library developed a lawyer in the library program for her county law library in Maryland. While this portion provided a good road map for starting a lawyer in the library program I had hoped for something about encouraging bundled legal services.
Barbara Fritschel wrapped up the presentations with brainstorming using a tool brainwriting. Brainwriting is a quiet brainstorming exercise because only the timekeeper talks. Instead of everyone talking with a scribe recording the ideas, each person writes down three or more ideas on a sheet of paper. At the end of the three minutes the timekeeper tells everyone to stop writing and pass their sheet one person to the left. Then, each person is to add ideas to the new sheet of paper they have in front of them. The ideas can build from ideas on the sheet or can be the same ideas the individual wrote earlier. The timekeeper calls time after three minutes and the process repeats until either everyone has written on every piece of paper or the available time has elapsed. In this manner multiple ideas are collected on each sheet of paper from different individuals in a manner that doesn't penalize individuals who are reluctant to speak in a group setting.
Note: this portion of the program worked because (1) the room was arranged with round tables instead of theater-style seating, (2) audience members complied with the request to move so that there were 7 people at each table, (3) there was blank sheets of paper at each table.
Instead of having each table report a couple of ideas, the audience agreed to give all their sheets to Barbara with their email addresses so that the work-product could be scanned and emailed to each of the audience members.
In an attempt to continue and build the discussion, I've created a member community, "Service to the Public," http://community.aallnet.org/Communities/ViewCommunities/CommunityDetails/?CommunityKey=158 where the documents are posted in the document library. Please visit and join the community, post suggestions and questions - and of course success stories or failures.
This program offered something for all types of law libraries: techniques for reaching their users, teaching legal research to new law clerks and associates, and working with the local bar association and public libraries or public law libraries to create a "lawyers in the library" program in their community.
As a public services librarian who never took a cataloging course, this session was both interesting and a little intimidating. Fortunately, the speakers explained linked data in a way I could understand and even get excited about. Linked data is information that standardized in such a way that computers can connect bits of information that are distributed across a variety of databases. Linked data can be reused in ways other than for which the information was originally collected. With linked data, librarians could pull in additional information to augment catalog records and, since the data is standardized, search across more databases.
To make this possible, the Bibliographic Framework Initiative (BIBFRAME) is working develop a new model for catalog data so that the information in library catalogs can be used as linked data. This will require changes for catalogers and integrated library systems. The only shortcoming of this otherwise great session was that it appears BIBFRAME is not yet fully developed or supported by most ILSs. I think librarians should learn more about linked data and watch for future developments so they are prepared when it is time to take more concrete steps to realize linked data's potential.
This session featured talks by the winners of the 2013 AALL/LexisNexis Call for Papers competition. Before the winners gave their talks, Joel Fishman of the Duquesne University Center for Legal Information and the Allegheny County Law Library and a prolific author, gave a brief talk on the value of scholarship for law librarians. He said research and writing was enjoyable and a good way to learn more about law and librarianship. He advised writing about anything one finds interesting, but emphasized that state legal history has not received sufficient attention yet.
Joe Gerken, winner of the Open division, spoke about his paper on the development of the first American case reporters, digests, and citators. He noted that these tools were developed in a very short period of time and have remained relatively stable to the present. Some of first American court reporters were surprisingly colorful characters. Gerken noted that his paper is built on the work of many scholars who came before him.
Catherine Lemmer, winner of the New Member division, spoke about her paper on used a flipped classroom strategy to teach legal research to LLM students. She said her students had trouble transferring and generalizing their legal research skills to unfamiliar problems. She found a more effective approach was delivering instruction through recorded talks and reading, and then asking students to work together on research problems during class. This approach stimulated more critical thinking, communication, and problem solving. She noted that research indicates a combination of online and in-person instruction has the best outcomes, and this flipped classroom approach provides that combination.
Mari Cheney, winner of the Short Form division, talked about her paper on a legal research boot camp administered at her school. The legal research boot camp was a concentrated and compact program of basic legal research instruction for 1L in their first semester. She described how the boot camp was administered and lessons she and her colleagues have learned to improve their legal research instruction.
Kristen Hallows, winner of the Student division, gave a talk based on her paper on in-house classification schemes in law libraries. Her paper was inspired by her practicum at the Ohio Attorney General Office' library. The library implemented an in-house classification scheme that grouped legal and non-legal materials together by subjects they shared. For example, materials on health law were shelved with medical texts. She described how law libraries classified their materials before Library of Congress issued Class K and how LC classification spread to most law libraries. Hallows suggested that for some collections, like the Ohio AG's library, an in-house classification may increase use of print materials and be more intuitive for researchers.
Winning papers can be found here, and more information on the Call for Papers competition can be found on AALLNet.

Enterprising College Buckaroos Start a Hedge Fund
It's been a rough year for hedge funds. Even the best ones have been trying and mostly failing to keep up with the stock market.
But a trio of North Carolina college students aren't letting a down year defer their dreams. The undergrad whippersnappers are opening Lumina Investments, a fund that will "capitalize on the growing influence of 'macro events' on the behavior of global financial markets" and, presumably, give them something to impress the ladies with at Sig Ep keggers besides butt-chugging demonstrations.
"We believe there is upside investment opportunity through a strategy founded on understanding international developments and their global impact," said chairman Elliot Carol, a student at UNC Wilmington's Cameron School of Business who was almost certainly born in the nineties.
According to their press release:
Lumina's new fund will invest directly and indirectly into markets that are affected by international political and economic volatility using equities, commodities, fixed-income and currency trading, he said.
Now, you might read that and think, Isn't that what every macro fund does? or, less charitably, If Ray Dalio can't beat his benchmarks this year, what makes three kids who still have "emergencies only" credit cards from their parents think they can generate alpha?
But you'd be wrong. Because despite your cynicism, the three youngsters behind Lumina have been doing their homework. According to the Greater Wilmington Business Journal, they've even learned about second-order consequences:
Principal managing partner Carol referred to Greece's potential default on outstanding bonds as an example, citing the impact that it may have on European markets. Varsano, the head of investor relations, clarified further that if the European debt crisis were to be viewed as a disease, Lumina's concept is to make money off of the symptoms.
"Focusing on the usual menu of economic indicators no longer provides a path to successful investing," Carol said. "Right now, macro events are driving the market. We believe this is the new normal."
We don't typically provide investment advice, but trust us on this one: Get on the ground floor, if you still can.

Working It
Thursday, July 25, 2013
If I haven't been feeling very productive in the past month, I sure feel I've done ALOT in the past three days. Last night I worked 11 pm til 330 am pulling up nail strips and stuck on padding and loosened baseboards even though I couldn't get any more removed. I did notice that one of the few I did remove says Dec 46 on the back of it. No wonder everything is crumbling. We really NEEDED this renovation for the stability of the dang structure! Tonight, it only took from 1130 pm til 130 am to rip up all the remaining carpet except the parts I had to cut around the heavy furniture I cannot move alone, scrape up all the stuck on padding, remove all the nail strips I could get to AND move all the furniture back. Most. I left some tables and the hutch in the jumbled up dining room since who knows what or where Ron will want to start with. Good ole Dakota was nice enuf to take the carpet to the trash but we only got the padding outside by the bushes.
Always interesting working with the girls. Pretty good til 9 when they all decided they weren't getting enough attention and two asking to be put on precautions. One got her way and then threw a tantrum cuz she changed her mind. Oops. Also fun working with the latest new RN who has never had a job in her life, much less nursing, always trying to correct everyone and even having the nerve to tell me that I will learn alot from HER. But it seems we are finally getting coverage so they have FOUR of us scheduled for my birthday. Guess who decided that made it a perfect time to ask off for? I am also asking off for the day after the Temptations concert we are going to in September and last night, RN Becky said she would love to go to the fair with me in October to see KC and the Sunshine Band. So I put in for that too. Besides the week beforeour next planned beach trip at the end of October. Aside from that, my Medifast health coach is trying to talk me into becoming a health coach but I have never believed in paying to get a job. $200 for the kit. Right.
I hate leaving stuff piled up, the bedroom is even worse, but you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet. Mmmmmm. Omelet. With bacon. Mmmmmm....
Ahem. Do you think Ron had anything nice to say when he woke me up just two hours after I finally got to sleep? Even after I gave him a hug instead of bopping him on the head for doing it because he's so clueless he doesn't get how rude his morning routine is? He had two sentences to say to me. What are you doing and You sure move alot of stuff around to never even finish with one spot. I stared at him and moved to the bed. Did I mention that I have to sleep on the couch if I can't sleep before 2 am which is every night? That's because then I can't move into a different room where he ISN'T banging and bouncing around. I left him a note..."You're welcome. I appreciate all your hard work and effort too." I even refrained from adding an endearing descriptor to the ending. Jack ass.
On the happy ending, the lead singer of Bowling for Soup tweeted how AMAZING Counting Crows are. That's always cool. Heard Counting Crows at the store last weekend too.

Forecast discussion: High pressure offshore of Cape Cod gave Boston a beautiful weekend. Fortunately, the work week started off well, as the high continued to bring sunshine to the capital city. It was a little warmer for a high temperature today at 84 degrees, but this was because winds came from the southwest, which is a land breeze.
As we head into Tuesday, we will begin to lose the influence of the high, as it moves out into the Atlantic. A complex series of low pressure systems out west and to our south will bring the potential for some heavy rainfall and possible severe thunderstorms on Wednesday. We will only see increasing clouds through Tuesday afternoon, and we will not see the first raindrops until after midnight.
The heaviest rainfall will come between the morning commute and the end of the evening commute. The American model has been quite consistent on giving us the heaviest rainfall during this time period. Also, the models have been showing the right features for some possible severe thunderstorms to form. Thunderstorms may be accompanied by small hail, gusty winds, and lightning. With high tide also expected, there is the chance for some coastal flooding for the south coast.
By early Thursday morning, the low will move into Canada, and the cold front will move out to sea. A high pressure system over South Dakota will bring partly to mostly sunny skies for the first half of the weekend. A low pressure system forming over Quebec may bring a few showers down into Southern New England by early Sunday morning. Any shower activity will end by early Monday morning, with drier air over our area by the middle of Monday morning. Daytime temperatures will still remain slightly below normal, as they stay in the middle 70's to lower 80's.
72 hour forecast:
Tonight: A passing shower until 9 p.m., then clear skies with a low of 65. Patchy to dense fog is possible along the coastline.
Tuesday: Cloudy skies by the early afternoon with a high of 79. Winds will come from the south-southeast at 13-16 mph.
Tuesday night: Showers by midnight with periods of light rain and a low of 66. Winds will come from the east-southeast at 12-15 mph.
Wednesday: Showers with periods of heavy rain and scattered thunderstorms. The thunderstorms have the potential to be severe. We will see a high of 76.
Wednesday night: Precipitation tapers to showers by midnight with all precipitation ending by 3 a.m. Skies will begin to clear by dawn. We will see a low of 62.
Thursday: Mostly sunny skies by noon with the high only reaching 75.
Thursday night: Partly cloudy with a low of 60.
Extended Forecast:
