Kiplinger's Best Value Award winners for Best in Class are tops in our 13 categories. There's something here for every buyer and every budget.
The rankings are based on value factors (such as fuel economy and resale values), performance and safety, as well as driving impressions from our own road tests. Vehicles must have a track record of at least one year or, for vehicles that received a face-lift, have powertrains substantially the same as the previous generation.
Among the 13 honorees are one electric vehicle and three diesel models, reflecting the wider selection of powertrains now available from all carmakers.
Several of our winners have been named Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick + by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The criteria this year for a Top Safety Pick includes a good or acceptable rating in all crash tests the Institute conducts. If the vehicle is equipped with a front crash prevention system as well, it receives a Top Safety Pick +.

As upscale brands come with near-mass-market prices and mainstream makes add bells and whistles, the entry-luxury space is getting crowded. But one constant remains: BMW's 3 series is an unbeatable combination of power, precision and bang for the buck. We think the diesel is tops, compensating with miles per gallon and torque what it lacks in horses.

The Model S breathes the rarefied air of expensive European luxury sedans, and raises the bar.

Mazda was firing on all cylinders when it introduced the CX-5 last year. The base model has class-leading highway mileage of 35 mpg.

When you add optional auto-braking, the M-Class gets a Top Safety Pick + from IIHS.

Just Buffalo's Babel is a program that brings incredible opportunities not only to students but to people of all ages across Western New York. The award-winning lecture series brings some of the world's most fantastic writers – and most cultured people – to the region, where they typically speak to an audience at Kleinhans Music Hall in what is a fairly intimate setting.
The intimacy of this setting, though, pales in comparison to that with which some of these writers have interacted with students at City Honors. Over the course of the last few years, it has been a distinct pleasure and privilege for students at City Honors to play host to some of these worldly writers in our school building.
In light of the special appreciation Just Buffalo Literary Center and Babel have displayed for the City Honors community, students and faculty participated in a dedication ceremony last month in which we attempted to reciprocate. In the school's library, a shelf has been dedicated in the name of the Babel series and the people who make it possible.
In addition to the symbolic gesture of gratitude, the new bookshelf will serve another purpose. City Honors students will now find it easier than ever to access the books that are chosen as part of the Babel series.
The partnership with Just Buffalo and Babel is a partnership that City Honors values deeply and hopes to keep for many years to come. I encourage the rest of the Western New York community, young and old the same, to engage in the lecture series at every opportunity available.
Joseph Nathanson is a junior at City Honors.

See CfA Release 2011-24 Thursday, Sept. 8, 2011.
Excerpt: Cambridge, MA. Usually, running five minutes late is a bad thing since you might lose your dinner reservation or miss out on tickets to the latest show. But when a planet runs five minutes late, astronomers get excited because it suggests that another world is nearby.
NASA's Kepler spacecraft has spotted a planet that alternately runs late and early in its orbit because a second, "invisible" world is tugging on it. This is the first definite detection of a previously unknown planet using this method. No other technique could have found the unseen companion.
"It's like having someone play a prank on you by ringing your doorbell and running away. You know someone was there, even if you don't see them when you get outside," she added.
Both the seen and unseen worlds orbit the Sun-like star Kepler-19, which is located 650 light-years from Earth in the constellation Lyra. ...
The first planet, Kepler-19b, transits its star every 9 days and 7 hours. It orbits the star at a distance of 8.4 million miles, where it is heated to a temperature of about 900 degrees Fahrenheit. Kepler-19b has a diameter of 18,000 miles, making it slightly more than twice the size of Earth….
If Kepler-19b were alone, each transit would follow the next like clockwork. Instead, the transits come up to five minutes early or five minutes late. Such transit timing variations show that another world's gravity is pulling on Kepler-19b, alternately speeding it up or slowing it down. … the planet Neptune was discovered similarly.…

PARIS (AP) - A tire blew out as the doomed Air France Concorde roared down the runway, France's Transport Ministry said Friday, leading to speculation that debris from the blowout may have triggered a fire in one of the plane's engines.
The ministry statement was the first time a tire blowout has been confirmed, and investigators were trying to determine what role it played in sending the luxury jet plunging into a hotel in the town of Gonesse minutes after takeoff.
On Friday, another body was found in the charred rubble of the Hotelissimo, bringing the death toll to 114. Most of the 100 passengers were German tourists flying to New York to await a Caribbean cruise. Nine Air France crew members and five people in the hotel also died.
Blown out tires have been blamed for past brushes with near-disaster, despite Concorde's seemingly spotless safety record.

Shrewd teenagers may want to buy this tape of highlights from American Bandstand and Clark's Saturday night show in the '50s and '60s and give it to their parents. It would be hard for Mom and Dad to ever complain about Prince or Mötley Crüe again after they saw how embarrassing The Big Bopper, Fabian and Mark (Teen Angel) Dinning were. And it's hard to believe the dopiness of Ed Byrnes and Connie Stevens performing Kookie Kookie (Lend Me Your Comb). There is, happily, some sturdier music: Buddy Holly doing Peggy Sue, the Everly Brothers' Cathy's Clown, Sam Cooke's You Send Me. But it's nostalgia that provides the reason for watching this hour-long tape, even if it's of the morbid-curiosity variety. Did those of us who were teens back then really look as hopeless as Clark's audiences did? Aaarrrrgh. (Vestron, $29.95)

JASPER (AP) - Towns in the running for the trial of a second white man accused of dragging a black man to death are quickly being eliminated.
Georgetown, in central Texas, was named as the frontrunner a week ago. But Williamson County officials have now persuaded Jasper County to look elsewhere for a courthouse to try Lawrence Russell Brewer, Jasper County District Attorney Guy James Gray confirmed Tuesday.
"We're just looking around," said Gray, who flew to Corpus Christi Monday to take a tour of the Nueces County courthouse, where officials there say space will be available this summer.
A week ago, Gray asked a judge that Brewer's trial be moved from Jasper County to remove an easy appeals issue from the hands of Brewer's defense team. Gray and other county officials have been looking for another courthouse. Once they find a suitable location, a judge must approve it.
State District Judge Monte Lawlis will announce his decision May 14.
Brewer's trial, which had been scheduled to begin May 17, will be rescheduled for late June or early July so arrangements can be made for the change of venue.
Brewer is one of three white men charged with the June 7 capital murder of James Byrd Jr., whose body was torn in two after he was chained to a pickup truck and dragged to death nearly three miles. The first man to be tried, 24-year-old John William King, was convicted in Jasper earlier this year and sentenced to death.
The third man, 24-year-old Shawn Allen Berry, will be tried later.
Two other towns considered for Brewer's trial - New Braunfels and Kerrville - now are unlikely sites because of schedule conflicts, Gray said. Kerr County's courthouse will undergo renovations this summer, and New Braunfels leaders worried that Brewer's trial would hurt summer tourism.
County officials in Georgetown, Kerrville and New Braunfels did not return calls from The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Gray won't comment on what other towns are now in contention or what other courthouses he plans to tour this week.
The Corpus Christi tour appeared promising.
"We talked to them (officials), and they're pretty accommodating," Gray said.
He insisted, however, that no final decision has been made on the Brewer trial location.
Nueces County Judge Richard Borchard said he is not eager for the trial to come to Corpus Christi but would support it if the judge thinks Corpus Christi is the best place for Brewer to get a fair trial.
Jasper County would pay for costs relating to the trial, Borchard said, but Nueces County would be responsible for extra security.
"The county is not volunteering to have the trial here, but if it's selected, we'll do what the law allows to make it safe," he said.

By Sgt. Aimee Millham, U.S. Army Europe Public Affairs OfficeJuly 24, 2008
BABADAG TRAINING AREA, Romania -- Authentic terrain, nerve-wracking injections and rigorous carries set a realistic tone for Romanian and American Soldiers training here July 14.
"I can't recreate the conditions they face downrange, but I can certainly replicate them," said Lt. Col. Michael Borg, commander of Task Force Vampire, when explaining that combat lifesaver-trained Soldiers are actually required to give their colleagues role-playing as "wounded Soldiers" an intravenous line if their mock injuries call for it.
Soldiers from the Romanian Land Forces' 3rd Company, 21st Mountain Battalion, and the New Mexico National Guard's Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 200th Infantry Brigade participated in the joint squad-level training at this Joint Task Force-East training area.
The training included maneuvers on a Military Operations in Urban Terrain site, where 21st Mountain Battalion Soldiers practiced a scenario that required the troops to go into a mock town and apprehend a high-value enemy target.
Sgt. 1st Class David Renehan, a Task Force Vampire observer/controller called the Romanian squad training at the MOUT site "one of the best squads we've seen here." Two of the Soldiers cleared five buildings in the mock town and "killed" two insurgents on their own.
"They just rushed in and knocked it out," Renehan said.
This training was followed by entry control point training during which Romanian and American Soldiers up an ECP and had to tackle various scenarios, including the attempted entrance of unauthorized and wanted enemy personnel into a friendly forces installation.
"We need more training like this. For most of us, it's the first time, and it's the first time I've used (the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System, a system similar to laser tag games that records when a Soldier is "hit" during training)," said Romanian Staff Sgt. Marian Gherghinis of the 21st. Gherghinis said that because he has deployed to Iraq, he could attest to the fact that the training was realistic and should adequately prepare Soldiers to go to combat.
In addition to the realism the terrain and equipment give to the training, real-world occurrences such as shepherds wandering through the MOUT site here add to the realism of Babadag. Something like this is likely to happen in a combat zone as well, and Soldiers would have to work around it, Renehan said.
The MOUT site here has been up and running for nearly four weeks and there are improvements planned for the near future. For example, furniture will be placed inside the containers that replicate small structures in the mock town to add realistic obstructions for Soldiers to face when clearing buildings.
Borg said such added stressors are necessary in training.
"The harder you work out here. The more lives you'll save 'downrange,'" he said.


text: My deepest hope is, however, that Babs has spent the entire summer giving Helm "shot practice." I love his speed and aggressiveness, but what good does it do when he breaks away with the puck only to end up shooting like a 13-year old girl who just drank three pina coladas???!!!

Go to the sound control panel (speakers icon) and check if it is in mute. Do a sound diagnostic (if the n/b has such an application).
Otherwise you need some new headphone jack. For the DIY concept, turn off the n/b and use a very thin screwdriver and SLOW and GENTLY pry the metal contacts (both sides) within the h/phone jack to the centre. This will allow the contacts to contact the h/phone plug.
See if that will work

Obama 'Would Likely Sign' Short-Term Debt Limit Increase
(WASHINGTON) -- The White House on Thursday said the House Republican proposal for a short-term deal to increase the debt limit is "an encouraging sign," and suggested President Obama would sign such a bill even if Congress does not act to end the government shutdown.
But White House Press Secretary Jay Carney would not directly answer whether the president would engage in broader budget negotiations, as Republicans are demanding, before the government is reopened.
"The president will not engage in budget negotiations with the Republicans until the government is reopened? Is that his position?" asked ABC News' Jonathan Karl.
"They ought to turn on the lights. They ought to pay our bills," Carney said, avoiding a clear response. "The fundamental question for Republicans is, why is the price of negotiations the president has been willing to engage in all year long doing harm to the American people and doing harm to the American economy and threatening the global economy? It's preposterous."
Carney said the president "would likely sign" a short-term increase in the nation's debt limit, even if Republicans do not pass a clean funding bill to reopen the government.
"The president is happy that cooler heads at least seem to be prevailing in the House, that there at least seems to be a recognition that default is not an option," he said, adding that "the president believes that it would be far better for the Congress and, in this case, the House to raise the debt ceiling for an extended period of time."
"We have seen nothing, obviously, no proposal from House Republicans yet, There's no bill to look at," Carney stressed. "The president strongly prefers a longer-term resolution so that we can get away from this periodic brinksmanship."

Sweet Protection Prophecy Dry Top
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
Although the Sweet Protection Men's Prophecy Dry Top is one of those spare-no-expensive purchases that might seem a little tough to swallow at first, this top delivers on every penny of its price. Where other manufacturers resort to the use of cheaper, often second-tier materials, the Prophecy goes straight for the proven solution, guaranteed waterproof breathable Gore-Tex Pro Shell material. Yamamoto neoprene graces the neck, wrists, and waist for comfort and performance, and massive, 100mm elastic bands secures the fit of the waist right where your spray skirt interfaces with your top. After designing this top in the lab, Sweet Protection tossed a few protos to their pro team and let nature do the testing--the result is a versatile, tough-as-nails dry top that gives you the freedom to move without letting a drop of water near your skin.

Hi, I thought I'd introduce myself here...
I reside in Houston, and I'm an avid bowhunter. I'm experienced with shotguns and rifles, but I recently picked up my first automatic pistol, a Berretta Px4 Storm, 9mm. I went to a gun range for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and it's a hobby I think I'll stick with!
Houston is a rough town, and I decided to get a CCW in order to protect myself against carjackers.
I've been looking for a good hog ranch nearby, and in the near future I might pick up a bigger caliber for this reason. (Those of you who have chucked an arrow at a hog or two may understand!)
Thanks for having me!

Hey, my name's Danalli, I live in Alaska.
I've been into guns since I was little and my dad would take me out to the shooting range and let me shoot his .22 and 270.
I am now getting a more avid interest in guns, thanks to my fiancee`.
I only have 2 guns. A .22 and a 270 both given to me by my dad. But I'll soon have a AR-15, another .22 and a Mosin Nagant. Only on loan while my finacee` is in Army BCT training, of course.

Hello Everybody on THR
I'm Jack. I've read and looked for info here for a while, but joined recently when my father purchased a new auto-loading shotgun and was looking for info about it. I'm in Florida, mostly in North Florida, near the Suwannee River.
I've been involved in shooting sports since I was a kid and Dad and Mom both had/have guns.
I enjoy a variety of types of guns, but among my favorite are the family heirlooms, such as my Grandfathers .22 revolver and 12 gauge.
I look forward to many more interesting topics to read and ponder on.
Life on the Suwannee is good.
I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it...

Greetings all!
I've just gotten back into shooting after a long absence (busy making a living and other pursuits). Rejoined a local gun club, and plan to get very active shooting competitively, mostly .22 rifle NRA silhouette matches. Have never stopped being an active supporter of the 2nd Amendment -- my elected officials get a letter or email every time a related bill comes up. Fortunately, I live in New Mexico (born and raised) and we have a long history of opposing gun control.
Looking forward to being part of the forum.

Hello from Oregon
I have just joined the forum. First time I have ever been on one. I have been shooting USPSA (IPSC) for the last four or five years. I'm a Super Senior Production class "C" shooter. I am a "C" shooter because on classifier stages the targets are up close and I don't have to move. Otherwise I would be a "D". I try to shoot four to six matches a month. I shoot USPSA 3-Gun and Multi-gun, IDPA tactical multi-gun, Action Pistol, Speed Steel and occasionally Practical rifle. Weekend before last we shot in Albany, Oregon on a sunny 80 degree day, this weekend in Sherwood, Oregon in rain, sleet and snow 34 degree day. Where is Green Gores global warming when you need it.

I thought I had a login here a long time ago but apparently not. Guess the memory is one of the first thing to go.
I live in a rural area of the great Commonwealth of Virginia; far enough south of the occupied territory of NOVA that people don't bother us much about guns - except the increasingly liberal GA and governor Kaine, of course.
I can't say that I own any guns. Nope, they are way too dangerous for me and my 2 young boys to keep such dangerous devices around. Of course that means there is no need for any ATF attention if there is a gun ban pushed through by Crown Prince Obama should he win in November...
I guess there might be a pellet gun or two about, you know boys will be boys.. sure maybe once I had a couple of .22s and a few .40s and some wheel guns and some shotguns and a hunting rifle; but you know , live and learn
And whatever you hear, no way I am ever considering joining the CMP or getting a C&R license - that is just a vicious rumor I mean what would I do with a Garand?

hi y'all
hey guys, just joined in a couple of days ago. Name is Jonathan from Houston, Texas. I shoot mostly a 10/22 and was a member of rimfire central. Active in paintball (FOF anyone?) mostly.
For some time I've been wondering if i need a handgun and the inevitable happened when my wife got robbed outside of her parents' home. So decided that both of us needed a home defense tool. Upon my research, i came to this forum and decided to join to gain valuable infos from like minded individuals who enjoy shootin' it up
Well, hope to gain as much experience shooting my guns (handgun) and here as well.

I've just always loved guns. I grew up in the country and we used to skeet shoot and play in the woods all day long, that's pretty much it.

Hello everyone. I've been lurking here for at least a year or so, but finally had to register so that I can see more of the pictures .
I'm in west central Florida, USA, on the rural outskirts of the Tampa Bay area. Plinking, hunting, and reloading of just about anything that goes bang are my most enjoyable hobbies.

Greetings to all
I think it is appropriate to put my first post here so I'll get it done now and then when something in one of the forums prompts me to post I can rest assured I've done things in the proper order.
I've lurked on this site for quite a while and finally decided to join to see the pictures and be able to do searches. There is certainly a wealth of information here.
I was a member of The Firing Line but when they closed down I just never moved over to another site, until now. I understand they are, (and have been for quite some time), back up, so if you check both sites you may see me post there too in the future.

Hi THR,
I am new to the gang and I am happy to belong. I recently purchased my first 1911, I am not rich so I purchased a Rock Island 1911. I heard they have potential to be good guns.
My goals are to have a soft recoil and I want a 2-3 lb trigger.
My reasons for these goals is that a buddy of mine was with Force Recon and his 1911 was setup like that. I want to shoot just like they do.
If someone knows what Delta Force does to their 1911's, I would like to know. I have seen them shoot and they are some pretty good shooters.

I reenact/collect WWII, am planning to buy a M1911A1 as soon as i find what i'm looking for (at the moment, it's between a backordered SA GI Park'ed M1911A1 and a frankenstein Essex frame with original pretty Colt slide. Which one i pick depends much on how much longer my patience holds out).
great board! looking forward to learning a lot on here!

New member...just forgot to stop by this thread!
I'm from GA and have been into guns since my early teens. Currently hunt the local wildlife (deer, hogs, and dove). I've also had my GFL since turning 21 (for over 20 years now) and regularly CC when not at work.
Recent trade for a ORM 1991 Colt and will be getting acquainted with it more soon.
Glad to have found a great place for information and like minded individuals. Thanks for having me.

hi everybody! i'm prob'ly going to be one of the oddest ducks in this forum. i've lived all my life in upstate ny, learned to shoot bb's, .22 & 20ga. in the country town where i grew up. took up small game hunting, then quit it when i killed a cottontail. just didn't feel good about it. became a hippie & been vegetarian for 37 years (i'm 57 now & retired), & didn't shoot much for all that time. recently a friend & his son asked me to do some target shooting in the backwoods of their land, & it turns out i'm still a pretty good shot. so, i guess i got the fever again, bought a used remington 597 .22lr w/a laminated wood stock & a sweet BSA scope, & now my biggest problem is trying to find a place to shoot targets. i can keep 27 out of 30 shots in a 8" circle @ 100yds, & i'm looking forward to improving on that.
i've got to emphasize that regardless of my past, i'm really serious about preserving hunting & gun rights. just 'cause i don't hunt anymore, i still defend everyone's right to do so, & to own, carry & use as many firearms of as many types as they like, as long as they do so responsibly. looking forward to reading posts & contributing my limited knowledge as well.

This chatty volume involves the informal reflections of what a clinical surgeon thinks is interesting or important in the field of surgical infections.
Presumably, this work written by Dr Pollock, a Hunterian Professor of Surgery, is intended to be light reading for the candidate preparing for a Primary Fellowship examination of the Royal College of Surgeons. The book's major weakness is in trying to cover too many subjects in too short a space and in too informal a manner. Thirty-four chapters in a book of this size leaves about six pages each for such subjects as burns, metabolic and hemodynamic consequences of sepsis, and infections in an immunocompromised host. Fewer chapters of larger caliber would have been preferable to using merely "a whiff of grape."
The most valuable part of the book is the 24 pages devoted to clinical audit in infection, clinical trials, and statistics as they relate to

I must admit, I've never heard of this before. There's a theory out there, that perhaps the Sun is part of a binary star system, with the theoretical companion dubbed Nemesis. The topic came up recently, when astronomers presented findings of debris disks around two nearby stars, some 60 light years away. The debris field around the stars look strikingly similar to that of the Kuiper Belt, in that they terminate sharply -- which got the thinking started. It's theorized that the Kuiper Belt's outer boundary, could be a result of shaping from a passing star in the Sun's distant past -- a possible companion to the Sun. This binary theory has some following. The Binary Research Institute plays hosts to believers. While they admit that there is no observable companion candidates, they propose that the companion could be a brown dwarf or a black hole. I haven't delved deeper into their science, but if nothing else, it makes for an interesting conversation piece.

These two bright debris disks of ice and dust appear to be the equivalent of our own solar system's Kuiper Belt, a ring of icy rocks outside the orbit of Neptune and the source of short-period comets. The wide disk on the left, which is oblique to the line-of-sight, surrounds HD 53143, a K star slightly smaller than the Sun but about 1 billion years old. The narrow disk on the right, which is tipped nearly edge-on, encircles the star HD 139664, an F star slightly larger than the sun but only 300 million years old. The sharp outer edges of the narrow belt may be telltale evidence for the existence of an unseen companion that keeps debris gravitationally corralled, in the same way that shepherding moons trim the edges of debris rings around Saturn and Uranus.

Book Review 212: The American Pope
September 6, 2011 - Harry Eagar
THE AMERICAN POPE: The Life and Times of Francis Cardinal Spellman, by John Cooney. 364 pages, illustrated. Times, $19.95
In 1984, when John Cooney's outstanding biography of the corrupt prelate Francis Spellman was published, the dead, censorious hand of the bishop was still able to reach out of the crypt and terrorize the publisher into suppressing part of his story. But, as Cooney wrote, "As much as any other man, Spellman shook Catholics' implicit respect for their hierarchy."
That overstates the matter. No bishop has gone to prison yet for running the vast child-rape ring that the church is. But non-Catholics no longer tremble at the political power of mitered criminals, and Spellman's excesses have a lot to do with that. Eighteen years after Spellman's ghost censored Cooney, the New York Press revealed what he had written, and today an Internet search brings that up first, ahead of the more significant offenses that Spellman ought to be remembered for: For his antidemocratic politics, his censorship, his assaults on separation of church from state, his McCarthyism, his corruption -- all matters of concern to all Americans -- and his damage to his church -- matters specifically affecting Catholics.
Spellman's New York chancellery was known as the Powerhouse, and from 1939 to about 1960, Spellman was almost a surrogate government for the city. If he didn't want a man appointed judge, he usually could not be appointed. If he disapproved of a play, a word to the thuggish Irish cops would fix that.
On the national scene, he was tight with the greatest criminal in American history, Edgar Hoover; and it was not merely the church but specifically Spellman's archdiocese that created and supported McCarthy. Cooney provides some evidence that Spellman was maneuvering to get McCarthy elected president before McCarthy's personal weaknesses detailed his fascist program.
Cooney understands, in a way that few historians of the American church have, the deep splits within it: The antidemocratic, Vatican-controlled bishops and their fully Americanized laity; the ethnic differences among Catholics (the Irish afraid of sex, the Italians afraid of ghosts); the core of truth in the Protestant bigotry that alleged Catholics would have divided, or even unAmerican, loyalties. Cooney quotes to devastating effect a policy statement from the official Vatican newspaper during Jack Kennedy's presidential campaign: which "warned against attempts 'to detach Catholics from the ecclesiastical hierarchy, restricting relations between the two to the mere sphere of sacred ministry and proclaiming the believers' full autonomy in the civil sphere.' "
There is no doubt Spellman endorsed fully this antidemocratic view, and no doubt that most Catholics rejected it.
This was not well understood, least of all by Spellman, a lonely man cut off from the feelings of ordinary people, for whom he felt little but contempt. As he bravely faced death in 1967 -- surprisingly bravely, if one thinks he accepted the church's teaching ab out judgment, which perhaps he had not -- he seemed to the newspaper publisher Dorothy Schiff a lonely man. No doubt he was, since he never valued people except for the power he could wield with their cooperation.
It was, as Cooney recognizes, a real power but not a fundamental one. "One of the oddities about the Cardinal's political prowess was that it went largely untested."
People feared Spellman because of his demonstrated vindictiveness, cruelty and corruption, but -- as they might have expected, given his antidemocratic views -- it was all reflected power. He had no constituency of his own, and when he lost patrons (Pius XII, Franklin Roosevelt, Richard Nixon), he shrank back to his natural political level -- wirepuller, fixer, bagman.
Cooney reveals a nasty little story I had not known about Spellman. His favorite charity was the Foundling Hospital. When McCarthy, a sick, mean drunk, already 57 years old and not likely to live a long time, wanted to adopt a baby, Spellman handed him one of his foundlings. The fatherless infant was fatherless again within months. The incident shows, as nothing else could, the depth of Spellman's cynicism and contempt for, literally, little people.
I was more familiar with Spellman's crazy anticommunism. It was his life's passion, but young, liberal Catholics in the '60s, like me, quickly understood that Spellman's and Hoover's warnings of subversion were fantasies. Spellmanism made it awkward to be a liberal anticommunist.
Not only did Spellman's kooky fantasies spoil his international anticommunist crusade; his contempt for ordinary people helped ruin the institution of the American church. Spellman was proud of the dozens of churches, schools, hospitals and orphanages he built, but he completely failed at developing the extraordinary human capital the American Catholics provided him.
His lack of concern for workers, exemplified by his savage persecution of his archdiocese's gravediggers in the late '40s, was perhaps the beginning of his undoing. Nobody was stupid enough to believe his claims that gravediggers were undermining freedom. Whom the gods would make mad, they first make ridiculous.
In his life, Spellman was a mover and a shaker. At the end, he seemed to realize that he had no political progeny. At least, Cooney quotes some of his Powerhouse servants as saying he announced that after his death, things would fall apart.
And so they did. But even Spellman could hardly have guessed that for all he did, mostly bad but some good, 40 years after his death he would be remembered first as Franny the sugardaddy of the rent boys.

The Jellybeans, a pop group formed by 11 girls from Our Lady of Mercy Academy in Jersey City, are moving on up.
The eighth-graders' second album, "No Time For A Bad Day," received positive reviews on ReviewYou.com.
"The seven songs featured on the album are written for The Jellybeans by Anthony Coviello, and they really showcase the band's talent," said ReviewYou.
Coviello, 53, of Bayonne, also wrote the tracks on their debut CD "Back to School" in 2010.
"With 11 girls, you'd expect to hear something based on a cappella singing, but these girls deliver their own special flavor of pop music," said ReviewYou.
The review site praised the 11 Jellybeans - Michelle Belvin, Alyssa Brioso, Patrizia Bustria, Jan Cu, Erica Liao, Jacqueline Mabalo, Nina Marie Magdaraog, Jennifer Marbella, Marielle Navarro, Jennifer Valencia and Karen Vallo - for their vocal talents:
When the girls aren't channeling bands like The Angels, they are singing beautiful harmonies. "One Perfect Moment In Time," is a beautiful example of voices raised in perfect harmony. It will make everyone who took part in their school's chorus reminisce. This is how all choruses should sound, but The Jellybeans are more than that.
These girls can really sing and, though some songs are a bit childlike, on No Time For A Bad Day the group sounds professional and much older than their years. That's what makes their music a great listen for anyone that happens to pick up No Time For A Bad Day.

I'd say reliability is mostly a result of weapon design, not material. There are polymer guns which are easily as reliable as the most proven steel and alloy guns...I'd put a Glock up against my CZs or 1911 in the reliability department. The corollary is true as well...there are some guns out there with spotty reliability reputations, both polymer and steel or alloy framed.

I'm with Lendringser on this one. I don't think frame material makes that much difference.
For example, I have 1911s with steel frames and polymer frames. Either are reliable.

I'd take this a step further.
There is no category that you can state categorically makes one gun more reliable than another. Not method of operation, frame material, rifling, or even caliber (for the most part).
A good design takes advantage of the materials and avoids their shortcomings. Choose guns on tests and recommendation, not stats.

You guys don't know a dang thing.
celluloid makes for the most reliable guns.

What lendringser said + carbon fiber grips ;)

Shucks, Hollywood guns are so reliable, they can fire 25 times from an 8-round magazine!:D

When a Glock has a problem, isn't it usually with its steel components?

Guys, there may be times when the gun has to be used as a club..give me the steel everytime!!:banghead:
This thing about polymer having the same strength of steel but without the weight.. sounds like a free lunch to me but I was taught in Economics 101- there is no such thing as a free lunch!! um, this bears further :scrutiny:
Why is it also that it is only the Ruger P95 that has full polymer guide rails?? Are we not so sure about the polymer's steel-like strength.. again this calls for greater :scrutiny:

Not really. The slide peaning problem is caused by frame flex.

A light frame gun should be more prone to limp wristing problems.

Let me tell you a little story. I own an HK .45 USP. During live fire, the firing pin broke. The back half of the firing pin shot out the back of the gun (carried rearward by the recoiling action of the slide). The front half of the firing pin was jammed between slide and frame. It took a chunk of the polymer frame out about the size of a chicklet. The missing piece being just right of the hammer, looking forward. The firing pin, also bowed the frame outwards about 1/4".
That's the last polymer-framed gun I ever buy. (HK ended up replacing the whole weapon)

That is extremely compelling. I have to wonder about other foreign objects (like casings) ending up in the wrong place during cycling.

I think reliability requires many things.
Design is one thing - the design has to be excuted in a precise way.
There are a lot of 1911s that are jam-o-matics. I think that is an issue of poor execution/fit of a reliable design.

Look no further than the Japanese Arisaka rifle. Even though it was built from "inferior" materials, it is a much stronger action than the vaunted Mauser 98, the Lee-Enfield or the Springfield rifle.

The materials that a weapon is made from should have no bearing whatsoever on the reliability of the weapon; ie: it's ability to cycle, eject and feed a fresh round. It would seem that people are streeeeeetching the definition of the word "reliability" quite a bit. Now we are into mausers vs. Arisaka's! By the way, Arisakas were not made from inferior materials. Towards wars end, they were crudely machined, but they were made from steel which the Japs got from us before the war; and I sure never saw any polymer in the frame.

Rather than frame material, I too say that design is more important in striving for reliability!
