I bought a 2004 Scion xB with 32,950 miles on it. Every time I pass a teenager, he or she thumbs up. The 1.5L four struggles at higher speeds. I find the manual tranny a bit rubbery. I traded this for the new xD.

Little Big Car
by RallyxB from Rochester, NY | August 16, 2010
Straight from Japan with only a few minor modifications for the US market, this was my first new car and the most reliable vehicle I've every owned. It has all the high-tech safety features of a luxury sedan and at 77K it's still running strong and gets 30 mpg. The only drawbacks are a stiff ride and an easily scratched paint job. Aside from that, it's a very roomy, peppy car that handles well and is a lot of fun to drive!

Great value, incredibly reliable!
by ymca dad from Delaware | November 25, 2008
I must admit it takes awhile to get used to the funky shape. That being said, this car is a Toyota thru & thru.The performance and dependabilty is outstanding! I have never had any service issues with this car at all.There is plenty of cargo space and lots of room for larger people. I'm a large man who is able to sit comfortably in the front or back seats. The versatility of these vehicles is second to none. A great value new or used.

The best car I have owned so far!
by ESALGD from Rhode Island | March 11, 2008
I bought my Xb used three years ago and have had absolutely nothing wrong with it. I bring it to the dealer for oil changes and maintenance. I used to own a VW, which had problems right and left, but the Xb has never let me down. I love the cargo space and the seats are comfortable. I continually get people, asking me what kind of car I am driving and I really don't mind the stares nor the "looks like a toaster" comments. I am very pleased with my toaster!

Scion Xb
by Rookie Modder from Grand Rapids, MI | June 21, 2006
I have had this car for 18 months now and I still have fun driving it. People still stare at it so if you want to blend in this is not the car for you. The one big issue with the inside is the lack of an armrest, it is now offered as an option and I would strongly recomend getting it. The Xb has a lot of room inside for the driver (I'm a big guy)and I can hold alot of stuff it. The paint does seem to be "thin" and chip easy. The front of my hood has a number of chips at 24,000 miles, I would recommend either a bra or 3M's RockGuard tape. Overall I would recommend this car to anyone wanting something with "personality". The Scion line is designed for people who like to "Mod" their cars and there is a lot of parts out there to do this.

Fresh off of a promising first season for the program, Stetson lacrosse head coach Nicole Moore announced the addition of eight new student-athletes for the upcoming 2014 season on Tuesday.
Erin Busch, Lauren McDonald, Jillian Chiachetti, Lindsay Summers, Ana Baranowski, Julia Lozano, Christina Wittmeier, and Sam Maguire are set to join the Hatter family this fall. The eight newcomers join a wealth of returners for Stetson in 2014.
Busch, a native of Annapolis, Maryland, played four years of varsity lacrosse at Annapolis High. Also a member of the soccer and basketball teams, Busch helped lead the Panthers to a 44-16-1 record during her career. In the middle of a lacrosse hot bed, her Annapolis squad was ranked in the top 15 for the Baltimore-Metro area.
"I am excited to welcome Erin to the Stetson Lacrosse Family as her solid stick skills and lax IQ will greatly contribute to the program," Moore said. "I was very impressed with Erin's maturity and sincerity in the recruiting process and I am confident she will contribute to the program on and off the field."
McDonald comes to DeLand via Naperville, Illinois, where she played at Neuqua Valley High. Leading the Wildcats to a 39-11 record over the last three seasons, McDonald and Neuqua Valley won Upstate Eight Conference Championships in 2011 and 2013. In 2011 the team finished the season fifth in the state of Illinois.
"Lauren is focused and intense, and we are enthusiastic about her bringing that fire to our Stetson program," said Moore. "She is our first recruit out of Illinois and comes from a high school program that has seen success. Lauren will bring that winning experience to Stetson."
Hailing from Medford, New Jersey, Chiachetti played lacrosse, field hockey, and ran track at Shawnee High School. She helped lead the Renegades to a 25-5 record over the last two seasons, earning Shawnee a national ranking of 88th and a New Jersey state ranking of third in 2012.
"Jill is a great overall athlete who is very hard working and coachable," Moore said. "She is a natural lefty and can play wherever she is needed, making her a versatile threat. She fit right in with the team on her visit and she has a great attitude. I am thrilled to have her as a part of the program and am looking forward to guiding her in her collegiate experience."
Another Maryland native, Summers played lacrosse at Fallston High School, where she was a three-year letter-winner. Summers helped lead the Cougars to back-to-back regional championships and a state title in 2012. She was named All-State Honorable Mention, All-Harford Second Team, as well as US Lacrosse All-Academic in 2012.
"Lindsay comes from a very successful and talented team and she has a high lax IQ that will push our program to another level," said Moore. "She is mature, hard-working, and will fit in greatly with the philosophy of our program. Her stick skills are solid and we are excited to see what she brings in her first year."
Baranowski joins the Hatters as a graduate of Holy Cross High School in Delran, New Jersey. A native of Marlton, Baranowski was a team MVP, a second team all-county selection, and a Burlington County Scholastic League First Team honoree as a junior. She scored 49 goals, assisted on 27, picked up 56 ground balls, and won 64 draw controls that season.
"Ana was such a pleasure to recruit and comes highly recommended by her club coaches at South Jersey Select," said Moore. "I am delighted to see Ana make Stetson her future as she will thrive and be successful here. Ana is very coachable and will work hard to make an impact on this program."
A Floridian, Lozano comes to Stetson via Key Largo. She helped lead Coral Shores High School to a 31-11 record over the last three years, culminating in a trio of district championships. Scoring 50 goals as a sophomore, and 90 goals as a junior, Lozano was named to the ESPN Rise Watch List for 2013. She has been among the national leaders for goals scored, and totaled 11 of her team's 14 in a single game in 2012.
"I knew Julia was the perfect fit for Stetson in our first meeting," Moore said. "She exemplifies the drive, work ethic, ability, and personality of the program. She is a positive person and possesses loads of potential in this sport. I see Julia growing in skill by leaps and bounds in a very short time, as well as being a great offensive threat."
Also from the Sunshine State, Wittmeier hails from Parkland, attending St. Thomas Aquinas in Ft. Lauderdale. As team captain, she helped lead the squad to its first ever district title in 2013. Recognized by the Miami Herald as one of the top players in the area, Wittmeier has also been an all-district, all-county, and all-league honoree with the Raiders.
"Christina has great potential and I am psyched to work with her and have her in our program," said Moore. "She shows great pride in Stetson and will fit in very well within our program, both on and off the field. She has a lot to contribute and I am confident that she will."
Finally, Maguire completes the trio of newcomers from the state of Maryland. A native of Bel Air, Maguire played two years of lacrosse at the John Carroll School, where she was an honor student and a member of the Spanish Honor Society. Maguire also received a Cumulative Academic Award for keeping all grades above 90 percent for multiples years in a row.
"Sam comes from a top high school and club team in Maryland and will bring a great perspective to our program," Moore said. "I am thrilled that Sam decided on Stetson, and I'm excited to coach her. I know she has great potential and the ability to be an impactful player. She, along with her classmates, has a great level of lacrosse experience to build off of."

There are four different versions of the Mitsubishi Outlander for 2015: the ES FWD (front-wheel drive), the SE FWD, the SE S-AWC (all-wheel drive) and the GT S-AWC.
Among 4-cylinder models, the 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander is offered with two different engines: a 166-horsepower, 2.4L 4-cylinder engine, or a 224-hp, 3.0L V6. Four-cylinder models include a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), while shifting in V6 models is handled by a conventional 6-speed automatic. If buyers want the V6, they need to get the top GT model.
The layout underneath the Outlander is like that of most crossovers in this class, with MacPherson struts in front and a multi-link rear suspension. A new electric power steering system helps provide good weighting and responsiveness and also reduces fuel consumption. EPA gas mileage ratings for the 4-cylinder models ranges up to 25 mpg city, 31 highway.
The Outlander isn't a serious off-roader, although it has enough toughness (and ground clearance) to get through areas that are somewhat loose and rocky. S-AWC models (with all-wheel drive) include an electronically controlled center coupling, with an open rear differential; the system is supplemented by an active front differential that helps get the torque split correct between front wheels--especially of help in low-traction situations like ice, snow and mud.
In all models, the second row can fit up to three, and it's 60/40 split, with the seatbacks folding forward for more cargo capability or reclining--and there are adjustments for sliding fore and aft as well. The third row can fit two, and it's 50/50 split, with a fold-flat mechanism. With both rows folded, the Outlander has up to 128.6 cubic feet of cargo space, which is enough to swallow pieces of furniture, or several large parcels.
Equipment included even on base ES models of the 2015 Outlander includes automatic climate control, rear-seat heater ducts, remote keyless entry, heated side mirrors, cruise control, steering-wheel audio controls and a 6-speaker sound system with 140 watts. Step up to the SE and it comes with dual-zone climate control, heated seats, a passive-entry system and touch-screen audio with a USB port, Bluetooth and HD Radio. Top of the line Outlander GT models come with HID headlamps, special side beltline trim and other items, while they can be optioned with a GT Premium Package that adds leather upholstery, a power sunroof, a remote tailgate, a power driver's seat and the top 710-watt Rockford Fosgate premium sound system. That upgraded audio system includes a 7-inch touch panel with voice commands, while the audio system in the base model includes a 6.1-inch touch screen.
On SE and GT models several active-safety technologies are included, such as Adaptive Cruise control, which will keep a set following distance behind the vehicle ahead; Forward Collision Mitigation, which will warn of vehicles or obstructions ahead and then automatically brake to help cut the severity of a collision; and Lane Departure Warning, which finds lane markings and warns the driver if he or she is veering out of the lane.

INDIANAPOLIS — Chan Gailey is plain desperate now. After another afternoon of dubious play-calling, the Bills coach walked into the losing locker room and played the only card he had left in the deck.
He compared them to the defending Super Bowl champions.
"I told our players our goal now is to get to 7-7," Gailey said Sunday after a 20-13 loss to the Colts. "That's where the world champions were last year. That's our goal. We've got to get to 7-7 and see where everything sits."
Uh, Chan. Put the card away. You're embarrassing yourself. Look around the dressing room. That's not the Giants. That's not Eli Manning over there. That defense, it's not the one that took down Tom Brady and the Pats here last February at Lucas Oil Stadium. And you're not Tom Coughlin, by the way.
Bills fans aren't in the mood for silly talk. Some of them bought into the Colts game as some heroic stand, an opportunity to knock off an upstart team and pull within one game of a playoff spot in a watered-down AFC.
Your own players said it was a must-win game. They said they were treating it as the start of their playoffs. A win would lift the Bills within a game of sixth place. So what happened? They found a way to lose, as they invariably do when they play a road game with any trace of meaning.
Playoffs? Well, you know what happens when you lose a playoff game. Season over. Done. I don't want to hear about the Giants, or the prospect of running the table to 9-7 and sneaking in. They had a chance to make the season interesting again, and it was too much for them.
The Bills are 4-7. Get this: They've been either 4-7 or 5-6 at this point in the season in 10 of the last 11 years. And to think, people were ready to get giddy about 5-6. Please, someone, make it stop.
After 13 years, it shouldn't come as any surprise. You just change the names and dates and the uniform numbers and recite the same old laments. If it's not J.P. Losman making the bad throw at the end, it's Ryan Fitzpatrick. If it's not Gregg Williams punting inside the 35, it's Gailey.
Let's stop dancing around and state the obvious:
The coach is second-rate.
The quarterback is second-rate.
Until that changes, the franchise will be second-rate, which is troubling news for anyone who worries that a bumbling, consistently underachieving NFL team is more vulnerable to being whisked away to a town with more people and a more vibrant economy.
Gailey is 14-29 in Buffalo. Dick Jauron was five games better at the same point with the Bills. Gregg Williams was one game better. Gailey has won five road games. The evidence against him continues to mount. It's at the point where you can no longer distinguish him from the failures who preceded him.
Williams' most notable gaffe was punting from the Pats' 32 in a 2002 home loss. On Sunday, Gailey punted from the Colts' 34-yard line on fourth and 14 midway through the second quarter.
Gailey said he wanted to pin the Colts deep. He liked the way his defense was playing. Clearly, he didn't trust Rian Lindell to attempt a 52-yard field goal. The Bills punted. Indy started from its 11 and marched to a field goal.
Lindell was diplomatic about it. But in today's NFL, if a kicker can't be trusted to try field goals from that distance — in a dome — he's on his way out of the league. Gailey did the same thing in Arizona and got away with it. But at some point, you need to show faith in your kicker.
If he didn't want a field goal, Gailey could have gone for it. Sure, fourth and 14 is a long shot, but what's so terrible about turning the ball over on downs around the opponent's 30-yard line in the second quarter?
But Gailey's tactics at the end of the half were even more maddening. The same coach who was afraid to kick a long field goal had his struggling offense come out throwing from its own 8-yard line with 58 seconds left in the half — with only one timeout left.
Fitzpatrick threw incomplete to Stevie Johnson on first and second down. Then they ran Fred Jackson for 4 yards. The three plays took a grand total of 14 seconds off the clock. They punted to the Colts, who drove to the Bills' 1-yard line and settled for a field goal.
Coaches have been fired for less. Of course, Gailey has demonstrated an outsized belief in his precious spread offense — and Fitzpatrick — for three seasons now. It doesn't work, especially on the road. But Gailey continues to call the game as if Fitz were a future Hall of Famer.
For better or worse, Gailey tied himself to Fitz, and they rise and fall as a tandem. Overall, it's been a failure. Gailey's misplaced belief in Fitz has made him overly reliant on his passing game and caused him to under utilize the most dynamic running back in the game.
C.J. Spiller ran for 107 yards against the Colts. He averaged 7.6 yards a carry. It's getting redundant. Spiller had only 15 touches. Early in the second quarter, he had consecutive runs of 11, 13 and 3 yards. He didn't touch the football for the last 11 minutes of the first half.
Fitzpatrick, who had missed on two deep throws to open receivers earlier, completed a 63-yard bomb to Johnson late in the half. It was a perfect time to use Spiller, with the Colts' defenders reeling. The Bills called three straight passes (two incompletions, a 4-yard scramble) and kicked a field goal.
The Colts are a mediocre team. They were beatable. Andrew Luck showed uncommon poise for a rookie. The Colts were 8 of 16 on third downs, including two third-and-11s and a third-and-17. Still, the defense sacked Luck four times and held the Colts to 20 points. They got a big game from Mario Williams.
That should have been good enough against an Indy defense that had been allowing 26 points a game and surrendering a lot of big plays. The Bills scored half of that. There's no excuse. Gailey and Fitzpatrick did what second-rate coaches and quarterbacks generally do. They found enough ways to lose.
"I always question myself," Gailey said. "Am I doing the right thing to get us where we need to be? If you don't question yourself, and if you're hard-headed, you're doomed for failure. So you always are looking for the answer, because it's obvious we haven't found it at this point."
Gailey said he hasn't lost confidence. He can point to last year's Giants, after all. Maybe the Bills will win the next two home games against modest opposition and lure the more gullible fans into believing again.
I find it a lot easier to compare this Bills team to the dozen losers that came before it.

SHIPPENSBURG - Asked how she planned to spend the rest of her Memorial Day weekend, Maria Snyder took a few deep breaths and smiled.
"I'm going to relax. Maybe go for a run. A nice, relaxing run. No pressure,'' Snyder said.
Snyder earned it. The Northern Bedford County High School junior had an inconsistent track season after winning a silver medal last year, but she performed when it mattered most, posting her best time of 2012 and taking fourth place in the Class AA girls 3200-meter run on Saturday at the PIAA Track and Field Championships at a hot and muggy Seth Grove Memorial Stadium.
Central Cambria's Alyssa Brandis finished sixth in the same race, claiming her first individual state track medal. Brandis then came back to get a second medal, leading off the Lady Red Devils' 3200 relay team of Jordan Hayward, Katie Bracken and Sam Elkin, which came in eighth.
Snyder was seeded 20th in the 3200 after running 11:57.40 at the District 5 meet, but she had run 11:24 this season and recorded a 10:56.86 at states a year ago.
"Last year was a surprise. No one expected it. This year I came in like I wanted to medal. I didn't care which one. I just really wanted to medal,'' Snyder said. "I needed to prove to myself that I could still run with them.''
Snyder ran third for much of the race before getting passed by Hickory's Morgan Richards at the end and finishing with a time of 11 minutes, 5.24 seconds. St. Marys' Adair Gennocro kicked it in gear at the end to pull away from Boiling Springs' Meredith Speakman and win going away with a 10:36.62 time.
"I knew it was a much stronger field this year,'' Snyder said. "You can't really plan a race that's two miles long. You just have to let it come to you.''
Snyder has had a mixed bag of a school year. She won District 5 titles in cross country, tennis and the mile and two-mile runs in addition to the 3200 relay. However, she admittedly underachieved in the cross country at states after hitting her knee with a tennis racquet, something she kept quiet. It took her two months to come back from the injury, and she said it created even more of an impact psychologically.
Her times this spring weren't what they were last season, but she felt she could come back.
"I had a big support system telling me that I had it in me and that I could do it,'' Snyder said. "I just needed to finally do it, because, during the year, I let things get in the way and things didn't work out.''
Snyder got out quickly with some help from Brandis, who broke her own game plan and raced to an early lead. That set the wheels in motion for seven runners to get away from the pack quickly, which played to Snyder's strength.
"I got a really good start today. That really helped me,'' Snyder said. "Then [Speakman and Gennocro] went off on their own, and I had to find my own pace. I found it. That was the key, that I just kept calm. If I went with them I don't think I could have finished strong.
"I knew I had to get in the open. I can't run in small, tight spaces. It makes me nervous, and I tense up.''
Brandis was nearly speechless after winning her two medals.
"It feels really good,'' Brandis said. "I can't describe it.''
Brandis ran a personal-record 11:16.09 in the 3200. Her seeded time of 11:23.66 had her fifth coming in.
"I just wanted to stick with the group. I tried to stick with the fourth and fifth people,'' Brandis said. "At about the [start of] the second mile, I thought I was [going to medal], because I'm usually better the second mile.''
Brandis' relay medal was the second of her career; as a freshman in 2010, she was part of the team with Kelsey Seymour, Kendall Seymour and Ashley Stump - all Division I college runners eventually - that took the silver.
"I felt it on the second lap,'' Brandis said. "I just pushed through it.''
This time around, Brandis hung around on the edge of medal contention before Hayward, the only freshman on a team of juniors and Bracken's cousin, moved Central Cambria up to fourth. Bracken and Elkin then kept the Lady Devils in the top eight, Elkin holding off Towanda and St. Marys for the final position on the stand.
"I actually had no clue what place we were in, so I just decided to run my heart out and collapse after the finish line and hopefully not before,'' Elkin said. "During the district meet, I had [Homer-Center distance star] Angel [Piccirillo] behind me, and I decided to run like she was chasing me.''
After being switched from hurdles to the sprints midway through the season, Penn Cambria junior Carly Petney made the semifinals in the Class AA 100. Her trip to states ended there, however, as she ran a 13.26 in the first heat on Saturday, placing her eighth in that race.
Altoona's Abby Wagner took 17th place in the Class AAA triple jump with a distance of 35 feet, 9 inches. Her teammate, Katelyn Goodman, threw 93-11 and was 20th in the discus.
Everett's Theole Feuillet was 35th in the Class AA shot put, throwing 32-10.5.

Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother were the two victims of a fatal shooting in Chicago, the actress's publicist says.
"We can confirm that there is an ongoing investigation concerning the deaths of Jennifer Hudson's mother, Darnell Donerson, and her brother, Jason Hudson," rep Lisa Kasteler tells PEOPLE. "No further comment will be made and the family has asked that their privacy be respected at this difficult time."
The victims' bodies were found by officers Friday in a South Side home listed in the name of Hudson's mother, and police say the shooting appeared to be related to a domestic disturbance.
Hudson's 7-year-old nephew, Julian King, is missing. An Amber Alert has been issued for him.
"We are searching for a young boy from that address who is missing," says Chicago police spokesman Officer John Mirabelli.
A man authorities were searching for in connection with the shootings, identified as William Balfour, 27, has been taken into custody and is being questioned by authorities, the Associated Press reports. No charges have been filed.
According to the AP, police spokeswoman Monique Bond says police are talking to "a number of people in custody" but she declined to further elaborate.
Hudson, 27, the Oscar-winning actress from Dreamgirls and an American Idol alum, recently got engaged to boyfriend David Otunga. She stars in the current film The Secret Life of Bees.

The Einstein-Montefiore Division of Pulmonary Medicine's missions include:
The Division's long history in each of these endeavors has undergone significant expansion in the last 5-6 years. The ongoing commitment of both Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center to the complimentary integration of clinical, teaching, and research missions has allowed for previous and ongoing recruitment of outstanding clinician-teachers, clinical scholars, and physician-scientists.
Our Division's clinical strengths include common and rare diseases of the chest, environmental lung diseases, cough, asthma, COPD, sleep medicine, nodule evaluation, advanced bronchoscopic techniques, infiltrates in the immunocompromised host, non-invasive ventilation, critical care, and more. We regularly integrate with other services in the medical centers, particularly with allergy, thoracic surgery, oncology, rheumatology, and transplant medicine.
Our teaching program is robust and vibrant. We recruit approximately four new pulmonary and critical care fellows into our three-year pulmonary fellowship program each year, in collaboration with the Critical Care department at Montefiore. Our three-year combined pulmonary and critical care fellowship program ranks among the best in NY metro and in the Northeast regionally. We offer an exceptionally diverse range of patient encounters and environments at Montefiore Medical Center Moses campus (west); Einstein campus (east); Wakefield campus (north); and North Bronx Hospital Network/Jacobi Medical Center, a large municipal hospital system. The inpatient scale in aggregate represents over 2200 beds; there are proportionate outpatient and research opportunities. Publications on clinical series routinely emerge from these encounters, and the option exists to pursue additional formal training in clinical research through Einstein's Clinical Research Training Program master's degree programs. We also serve as the academic and continuing medical education home for the pulmonary & critical care attending physicians at Montefiore Medical Center, North Bronx Hospital Network/Jacobi Medical Center, and those in community practice at Montefiore-affiliated centers.
Our Division's extramural funding and academic productivity resides in strengths in epidemiology, molecular biology, physiology and clinical outcomes. Members of our faculty and fellows have published seminal papers in environmental lung disease, tuberculosis, lung cancer biomarkers, sleep medicine, hypoxia, cough, and asthma, with much of the work ongoing. Currently half of our full-time faculty are extramurally funded by NIH, CDC, and foundations for research endeavors. The pulmonary molecular laboratory resides in Einstein's spectacular Price Center for Genomic & Translational Medicine, where it serves as a home for departmental faculty members working on airway biology, allergy, stem cells, carcinogenesis, epigenetics, integromics, and non-invasive lung biomarkers. The lung tissue and non-invasive surrogate tissue repository is one of the most comprehensive in the country.
We have made great progress in recent years, and we invite colleagues, visitors, and patients to explore opportunities with us.

Rainforest Alliance, Gibson, Domtar and Time Inc. Commit to Clinton Global Initiative
The Rainforest Alliance has announced a commitment at the Clinton Global Initiative to work with three global leaders in the forest products sector -- Domtar, Gibson Musical Instruments, and Time -- on increasing their use of wood from responsibly managed forestlands certified to the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
The three companies have pledged to increase their use of FSC-certified wood products over five years. For its part, the Rainforest Alliance aims to recruit additional forestry operations for FSC certification, certify 170 million additional acres of forestland, increase support for certified small and medium-sized businesses, develop markets for certified products and help ensure that the companies' suppliers meet FSC standards or are working toward FSC certification under an agreed-upon plan.
"As these three big players in the paper and musical instrument industries are showing, large companies are taking sustainability seriously and considering the long-term environmental, social and economic implications of their sourcing strategies," said Tensie Whelan, executive director of the Rainforest Alliance, who attended the Clinton Global Initiative's Annual Meeting in New York this week. "Buying wood products from FSC-certified forestlands supports forestry operations that manage their land responsibly, conserves biodiversity and curbs deforestation."
Deforestation causes about 20 percent of greenhouse gas emissions globally, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Using products from FSC-certified forests can help avoid deforestation and reduce greenhouse gases by giving communities an economic incentive to keep their forests intact and manage them responsibly. If forests are not viable sources of incomes for local communities, residents are more likely to clear the area for other uses such as cattle grazing or agricultural expansion.
The Rainforest Alliance has been working with Gibson, the leading musical instruments company in the US, since 1996, when it became the first musical instrument company to produce guitars using FSC-certified wood. Gibson has pledged to maximize its purchases of FSC-certified wood in the next five years. Last year, 42 percent of the wood purchased by Gibson-USA came from lands that were FSC-certified or were working toward FSC certification. In the next five years, Gibson-USA aims to increase that amount to at least 80 percent.
"We are passionate about our commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative and the Rainforest Alliance, especially through the high standards we set in producing FSC-certified products," said Henry Juszkiewicz, chairman and CEO of Gibson Guitar. "At Gibson Guitar, we take very seriously our commitment to preserving our global environment and strive, through our efforts with the Gibson Foundation, to continue to educate the public on this issue."
The Rainforest Alliance has been working with Montreal-based Domtar, the second largest paper producer in the world, since 2003 on responsible paper production and fiber sourcing. The company has been expanding its FSC-certified paper offerings, from 13 certified product lines in 2005 to 23 lines currently. As part of this commitment, Domtar has pledged to reach out to forest owners in the regions where its new mills are located to encourage and support FSC certification strategies and increase the amount of FSC-certified fiber it purchases.
"Our commitment to sustainability begins in the forest, and it is bolstered by our employees commitment to make products that meet the needs of our customers. The more certified fiber we procure, the more certified products we bring to the market," said Lewis Fix, Senior Director of Business Development -- Domtar EarthChoice. "We are very pleased and enthusiastic to be a part of this Initiative."
Time, one of the largest publishing companies in the world, has increased the amount of certified fiber it uses in magazine production from 25 percent in 2002 to 70 percent in 2006. Time has achieved most of this increase in the US by encouraging certification on public lands and with small landowners. By 2009, the company aims to have 80 percent of the fiber used in its products certified to systems that meet the standards of Time's Certified Sustainable Forests program, which includes FSC.
"Time is thrilled to be part of this exciting Initiative," said David Refkin, director for sustainable development at Time. "The commitment builds upon our holistic sustainability practices and the work we have done over many years to prompt sustainable forestry by incorporating new issues, such as climate change, into our Certified Sustainable Forests program."
The Clinton Global Initiative is a non-partisan project of the William J. Clinton Foundation that brings together leaders from around the world to work on solving global challenges, including poverty alleviation, global health, and energy and climate change, among others.
The program book for the initiative's 2007 annual meeting was produced by Pictorial Offset Corporation, a New Jersey-based printer certified by the Rainforest Alliance to the FSC standards. The book was printed on FSC-certified Domtar EarthChoice paper, which was donated by Domtar.
About 1,000 members have made commitments to the Clinton Global Initiative to create or support projects. Over the past two years, members have made almost 600 commitments totaling nearly $10 billion.

4 Directors Who Should Have Quit After Their First Movie
#2. M. Night Shyamalan
The Best Movie: The Sixth Sense
The Rest: Lady in the Water, Signs, The Happening, The Village, The Last Airbender
Technically, M. Night Shyamalan has two pretty solid movies: The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable. In that respect, he isn't an exact fit for this list, but given the heap of garbage he subsequently molded into the shape of five film reels while pretending they were something we might enjoy, it feels like a disservice not to include him.
The real success of The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable was due to the surprise endings. M. Night Shyamalan did a spectacular job of creating a sensation people hadn't felt in a movie theater since the advent of the Internet. Given the rampant spoilers splashed across every corner of social media, being surprised by a movie is itself surprising, and we were all charmed by his ability to do it.
Unfortunately, after two movies, M. Night Shyamalan ran out of good surprises. Instead of bowing out gracefully or trying to make movies that hinged on something other than one unexpected element, he stubbornly continued to drive his only plot device into the ground. It's easy to picture him looking around his living room while trying to come up with script ideas and landing on various objects that he could use as a reveal. "Oooh, water. Water is the surprise! No, plants! Plants and water, two movies! I am very good at this."
Getty "Yes! Elevators! No one take that one, I called it."
The real shame is that all of his movies have some moments of great directing in them, which was the reason everyone was so excited early on about the prospects of his career. But he's so insistent on strapping a stupid twist ending to each of his films that he ruins everything he touches.
#1. Brett Ratner
The Best Movie: Rush Hour
The Rest: The Family Man, After the Sunset, X-Men: The Last Stand, Tower Heist
It's always gratifying when people outside of the fictional world of the Star Wars universe are still saddled with a name fitting to who they are. "Ratner" can't help but leave your mouth like an expletive.
Of everyone on this list, I'm absolutely shocked that anyone keeps asking Brett Ratner to make movies. Aside from being a generally unlikable person, his only good film is essentially a remake of 48 Hrs. plus a language barrier (I'm not counting Money Talks, even though it was made before Rush Hour, because I'm not entirely sure Brett Ratner knows they're different movies). Rush Hour was a box office hit, not because of anything Brett Ratner actually did, but because of Chris Tucker's mouth and Jackie Chan's weaponized body.
From that singular success, Ratner launched an entire career as a director where not one person in charge of writing his checks ever stopped and said, "Hold on, you're really bad at this." But he is, he is bad at this, yet Hollywood keeps throwing jobs at him: X-Men: The Last Stand is an insulting end to an otherwise great trilogy, The Family Man is full of such cloying tripe that it looks like it was created by an alien guessing at human emotion after watching a week's worth of the Oxygen channel, and Tower Heist just seems like a cruel trick to get a bunch of fading stars into the same room so that audiences could bid them farewell from cultural relevance.
Ratner consistently craps out terrible movies and then does his best during interviews in between to remind the world why he deserves to be hated on both a professional and a moral level. Yet somehow his movies keep earning money. He could have disappeared into obscurity after the first Rush Hour, but ticket sales never stopped and now he's certain that he deserves everything he has.
Getty I challenge anyone to find a picture of Brett Ratner where he doesn't look like an asshole.
Brett Ratner is the number one entry on this list because as intolerable as his success is, it's really your fault. All of that sweaty, coked up, outspoken self-confidence is your fault, because you went to see The Last Stand more than once and then you bought the DVD just to round out your X-Men collection. You must have, because I sure didn't do it. I don't know. Maybe this is all just a twist ending where plants are making it happen or something. That would be just perfect.

Wow your interviews are getting tough if you need to go through days/weeks worth of "challenges" just to get a job.
check talkbox for wp.. for voice messaging.
I already have Social Connector installed on my outlook 2010. It's really useful. When I see a strange name I need to know which pronoun I should use(he/she). I look at the picture and use the right pronoun.
well look at that, a 300% improvement so far on comments

If you want to send a voice text check out the Voxer app in the android market. It does exactly what you are asking for.
@WastedYoda:Sorry, but I really don't frequent the Android market
I do not know if there is a windows version but it would be worth looking into. The technology is available.
@WastedYoda: Yes, but then you need to have an app installed to send/receive the message which means I wouldn't send the voice-text to anyone. A low-level integrated system like SMS/MMS is what we need, I call it VMS.
Voice text messages - Great Idea.

From on-stage collaborations (Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw) to A-List couples (McGraw and Faith Hill) to the triumphant winners (Taylor Swift, who took home the top prize for Entertainer of the Year), there was no shortage of memorable moments.
Even U2's Bono couldn't resist beaming in via satellite from Dublin to show love for his friend Dierks Bentley, and introduce his performance of "Home."
Check out our recap of some of the best moments – plus results from PEOPLE's reader polls, below.
Best BanterHosts Blake Shelton and Reba McEntire delivered the best jokes of the night – and they weren't afraid to make fun of each other or take aim at the nominees.
"I remember back when you were just a life-support system for a mullet," McEntire cracked, referring to Shelton's unfortunate hairstyle from the '90s.
"Right," Shelton replied. "I didn't get a chance to see you [perform] a lot of your early career ... until we got the History Channel." (Can we please book them to host the Oscars next year?)
Most Romantic MomentThe on-stage matrimony of Christina Davidson and Frank Tucci, who met in a support group after each of their first spouses passed away. The couple exchanged vows on stage to Train's wedding favorite "Marry Me," which was performed by Pat Monahan and Martina McBride.
Best PerformanceToby Keith stormed the MGM Grand audience for a rousing rendition of his hit drinking song "Red Solo Cup," which had everyone from Faith Hill to Eric Church singing along. Even Vegas comedian Carrot Top grabbed the mic to sing a few bars – points for viewers who spotted Wayne Newton dancing in the crowd.
Cutest MomentA beaming Shelton introduced "the most important person in my life," his wife Miranda Lambert, whom he proudly called "Miranda Lambert-Shelton," before her performance. Awwww!
Biggest Punching BagPoor Tim Tebow! Not only did Shelton tease Taylor Swift for her rumored romantic ties to the football star, and the Broncos for losing the QB, but Brad Paisley couldn't resist "Tebowing" with his electric guitar during the commercial lead-in to his performance.
Most Outlandish PresenterAshton Kutcher, who presented the Female Vocalist of the Year award, did his best to pose as a Nashville star, replete with a ten gallon hat, which he pulled down low over his brow. "And to all you ladies who aren't going to step on the stage, I'd like to sing a little song," he said, before awkwardly crooning a few bars of George Strait's "I Cross My Heart."
Kutcher, however, won readers over with his appearance, taking the PEOPLE reader poll 49% over LL Cool J's 43% as the "favorite country music wannabe" of the night. (Sorry KISS and Marc Anthony)

Negative campaigning must end
We have recently suffered bombardment by the most despicable, disgusting, demonizing political ads imaginable for most of this past year. I don't want my TV viewing and radio listening co-opted by wealthy political interests in future election years. Discussions with friends, family and neighbors overwhelmingly indicate that I am not alone.
Council of Homeowners Organizations supports Foothills' mill-levy boost
After review and discussion of the issue at our Oct. 1 meeting, the members of the Council of Homeowners Organizations for a Planned Environment have voted to support Foothills Park and Recreation District's mill-levy request in the upcoming election.
Let's end the vitriol and respect all views on governing schools
My husband and I volunteered in the Jeffco Public Schools for about 20 years in every grade level as we raised our children. We supported the teachers and principals and were there for students.
Opposition to new superintendent has the wrong focus
It's typical. Some groups seem so fixated on their political agenda for education that they have lost all perspective. People certainly are entitled to their own opinions of the new Jeffco superintendent hire, Dan McMinimee. But they're not entitled to their own facts.

Board majority disregarding community
Parents and citizens of Jefferson County ought to feel outraged at the recent actions of the new majority members of the school board. Let's see. What's happened so far this year?
• A decision to provide all-day, paid kindergarten at Lasley Elementary in Jeffco is on the chopping block, something parents and community members of this county had already voted on and approved.
Common Core standards won't help our students
Common Core state standards: You either love them or hate them. Personally, I hate them.
Legislator's firearm leaves Capitol denizen feeling unsafe
Where I enter the Colorado Capitol, there's a "No Firearms" sign and a metal detector. But not for Rep. Jared Wright, who left his firearm unattended in a committee room on Feb. 6.
Liberal school board members are the ones who lack transparency
In response to Ms. Trasky's letter: The only bully here is you, Ms. Trasky. The best interests of the school board and the children would be better served if Lesley Dahlkemper and Jill Fellman stop whining to anyone and everyone who will listen. It seems they deliberately vote against ANY proposals by the new board president.
Statistics on gun violence are appalling
There are some striking numbers out there, and, no, I don't mean Broncos stats.
Six school shootings in 10 days; a mall shooting leaving 3 dead. Some 260 Americans shot and 86 killed every day, eight of those being children. But who's counting, right?
Well, I am.

You think Emma Watson won the coveted role of Harry Potter's pal Hermione Granger just because of her talent and beauty?
Actually, it turns out magic was always in her blood – the British actress can trace her roots back to a real-life woman accused of witchcraft in the 16th century.
According to genealogist Anastasia Tyler of Ancestry.com, the 19-year-old actress is a distant relative of Joan Playle of Essex County, England, who was convicted of witchcraft in 1592 and excommunicated from the Church of England.
So that's why the public finds Watson so enchanting …
"It's not every day we're able to trace the branches of a family tree back to 16th-century witch trials," Tyler says. "Combine that with a celebrity connection to Emma Watson and the fact that she plays a witch in Harry Potter: You couldn't script it any better."
Most of Watson's cast mates don't have as storied a lineage – Daniel Radcliffe is descended from bakers, grocers and plumbers, and Rupert Grint includes a gunsmith among his forebears. Helena Bonham Carter, who plays villainous Bellatrix Lestrange, however, is of noble birth, and her great-grandfather, Herbert Henry Asquith, Earl of Oxford and Asquith, served as prime minister of the U.K. from 1908 to 1916.

Emma Watson Is Related To a Real Witch!

Liz Allen: Walk for Nell, please
Some parenting experts think you should run your family like a business, with mission statements and productivity goals.
The March 25 edition of Time magazine features snippets from two books, "The Secrets of Happy Families," by Bruce Feiler, and "Family Inc.," by Caitlin and Andrew Friedman.
Feiler suggests using "data-driven solutions -- from business, sports and peace negotiations -- to calm the cacophony" at home.
The Friedmans "advocate holding an annual meeting, just as a board of directors would, and treating baby sitters, nannies and housekeepers as bona fide employees, complete with HR-style job descriptions and on-the-job training."
But B-school can't prepare you for the curves that life throws. When things go topsy-turvy, I don't need a cost-benefit analysis. I just want my family (and friends who are as close as kin) to help me cope, the way Nell Hardy's family is there for her, and vice versa.
Nell writes a monthly op-ed column about living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis -- Lou Gehrig's disease. Look for her next "Not to Worry" column on Wednesday.
Nell and I met in person for the first time on Friday, so I could learn more about the Walk to Defeat ALS in Manhattan on May 4. This is the fourth year that Nell and her sons, siblings, nieces, nephews, nurses and friends will take part in the three-mile walk.
"The walkway is between the Hudson River and the West Side Highway," says Nell's sister, Caroline Tredway, who lives outside New York City. "You pass beautiful gardens with poppies, and everyone is in such a good mood. For Nell, it's her day to shine."
Nell doesn't organize the walk. That's up to Caroline and, previously, their brother Bill, who lived in New Jersey until his death in 2011.
The first year, Nell did most of the route in a regular wheelchair. "She got up and walked across the finish line. She refused to be seated," says Caroline. For 2012, Nell's friend Stacie Giles, who is also her nurse, and Nell's son, Emmett, carried her over the line.
Stacie will take part in the walk, and so will Vicki Beierschmitt, who became friends with Nell through Stacie. The three friends like to go to dinner, see movies and play Scrabble.
"This disease is not a death sentence," says Vicki, a caregiver at the Barber National Institute. "There's a lot of scientific research that we can do. Yeah, it's taken its toll on the body, but Nell is an example of determination and willpower. She's not letting the disease beat her down."
Visit www.als-ny.org and click through "events" for the Manhattan walk and then the "donate or find a walker or team" button to find "Friends of Nell." Don't call a family board meeting before you give. Just take stock of all the good it will do.

NFL FILMS president Steve Sabol is, by nature, an optimist. A glass-half-full, everything's-going-to-be-all-right guy.
So, it hardly was surprising that when the National Football League started its own television network 8 years ago and brought in a former ESPN/ABC Sports suit - Steve Bornstein - to run it, and another former ESPN/ABC Sports suit - Howard Katz - to be chief operating officer of NFL Films, Sabol thought it would be a great thing for his company.
"We're going to be the foundation of the whole network," he told the Daily News in June 2003, 5 months before the NFL Network made its on-air debut. "I don't think there would be a network if not for NFL Films.

There are 300 positions to fill in Western New York, according to Karen Mazurkiewicz, a Postal Service spokeswoman.
The jobs represent a new category of non-career employees with a path to possible future employment as a career letter carrier. They are appointed for a term of 360 calendar days and may be reappointed for another 360-day term after a five-day break in service.
Salary and limited benefits include $15 an hour, paid vacation days and eligibility for health care benefits as required by law, or after the first 360-day term.
Applicants must have a valid driver's license, good driving record and two years driving experience.
Additional details and an application can be found at www.uspc.com/employment.

"I'll just be working. I know that I have a 5:30 am pick-up but that's not bad," the actress – who is currently on location for her next film, Untitled Elmore Leonard Project, in Connecticut – tells PEOPLE. "I'm lucky; I'm very happy to be working!"
"This birthday is going to come and go, which they all seem to be doing these days," she adds. "Wasn't it just my birthday? I have like windburn from this year."
With the production set to last five weeks, Aniston has relocated to the east coast and continues to fulfill her duties as spokesperson/co-owner for Living Proof hair care.
For her role in the film, she opted to wear a shorter, light blonde wig instead of coloring her famed tresses. "It's so nice to wear a wig. It's like putting a hat on," she says. "I've been using our conditioners on my hair underneath and it's great to be able to watch your hair actually grow."
The actress, who got engaged to screenwriter Justin Theroux last year, says her idea of a perfect birthday "would be a walk in the city, brunch somewhere, see a movie, have a great dinner."
For more of our exclusive interview with Aniston, including how she maintains that amazing bikini bod, pick up this week's issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday

Shopping List
Looking for a simple recipe with ground beef? This chop suey recipe can't get any easier! Instead of requiring you to stir-fry everything and time the rice just right, this beef chop suey is baked all together. Make sure you have room in your recipe file for this chop suey recipe, because you're sure to come back to it again and again.
1. Brown the beef and drain any excess grease.
2. Put in a 9x13 baking pan or casserole dish. Add remaining ingredients and just cover with water. Cover with foil and bake at 350ºF for about 30 minutes or until rice is thoroughly cooked.
3. Remove foil during last 15 minutes to allow the beef chop suey to thicken.
This chop suey recipe is customizable, too. If you'd like to add egg to your beef chopped suey, fry one or two while the dish is baking, then break up the cooked egg and stir it in. Even though this is a recipe with ground beef, it's also easy to turn this beef chop suey into a vegetarian dish. Simply leave out the beef and substitute your favorite vegetables (try mushrooms, carrots and bell peppers) to create a chop suey recipe that's all your own.
