Ohio Association of Public School Employees (OAPSE) Executive Director Joe Rugola, who last week compared supporters of workplace freedom to Nazis, was paid $253,351 in member dues during the union's most recent fiscal year.
At a May 1 press conference, Rugola decried workplace freedom as "extreme." Asked by reporters why 24 states already have workplace freedom laws on the books if the policy is extreme, Rugola said, "all of Germany went extreme in 1933 ... that doesn't make it wise."
Rugola added, "Extremism as a majority notion does not necessarily pass the test of good government, good policy, sound democracy."
OAPSE, a local of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), staunchly opposes letting workers choose whether to pay a labor union. Rugola, a former president of the Ohio AFL-CIO, has worked with other union bosses to frame expanded worker rights as an attack on worker rights.
According to The Columbus Dispatch, Rugola was asked whether he meant to compare the introduction of right to work legislation with Nazi Germany and he replied, "no, I meant to compare it to extremism."
An Associated Press story on the dueling May 1 workplace freedom press conferences quoted Rugola extensively but did not mention his allusion to Nazi Germany.
"America's right-to-work states are the poorest, most unhealthy and undereducated states in the union. That is a fact," Rugola asserted, warning that "right-wing extremist legislators" and corporations driven by "godless greed" were looking to rob Ohioans of their rights.
In recent years, Ohio has lagged far behind workplace freedom states in terms of job creation, wage growth, and disposable income growth.
But Rugola, who was paid a quarter of a million dollars in forced dues last year, exclaimed that it was OAPSE's "intention with every fiber of our being to make war on those who want to make war on the American middle-class."
Over-the-top rhetoric is nothing new for Ohio union bosses, who torture common sense and the English language to avoid the truth about workplace freedom. When Michigan's legislature passed right to work in December 2012, union front group We Are Ohio compared their actions to the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
Although Joe Rugola may currently be in the lead for the most hateful, ignorant comment in Ohio's workplace freedom debate, he is not the highest paid Ohio union boss. That distinction goes to Ohio Education Association (OEA) President Patricia Frost-Brooks, who was paid $267,916 last year based on OEA's latest report to the Department of Labor.
Review OEA's workplace freedom talking points and the propaganda from We Are Ohio to learn how Rugola's suggestion that workplace freedom is like Nazism fits with union desperation to maintain the flow of mandatory dues.

Eight Shades of Blue in the Bathroom
Elle Decor. Architect Steven Learner drew inspiration from the indigo tiles that line traditional Turkish hammams for the open shower in his downtown Manhattan apartment. Learner sheathed his master bath in shiny subway tiles of a deep cobalt, which he offset with a pure-white tub. 2 Here a very subtle and soft use of blue brightens up this classic bathroom from House of Turquoise. 3 Color doesn't have to be bright and garish. This rich deep blue gives depth to a classic bathroom in Lonny. 4 This bathroom from Lonny takes black and blue to new heights. 5 A positively funky, outrageous and original blue bathroom via Absolutely Beautiful Things.

The intensity of L(x) of light x feet beneath the surface of the ocean decreases at a rate proportional to its value at that location. That is, L(x) satisfies the differential equation (dL/dx)=-kL, for some k>0 (the constant of proportionality). An experienced diver has determined that the weather conditions on the day of her dive will be such that the light intensity will be cut in half upon diving 17 ft under the surface of the water. She also knows that, once the intensity of the light falls below 1/8 of the surface value, she will have to make use of artificial light.
How deep can the diver go without having to resort to the use of artificial light?

Seager homered for his second straight at-bat after being mired in a slump for most of the season. Seager hit a two-run homer in the seventh off Houston starter Jarred Cosart, then added the winning shot on the first pitch from Josh Fields (0-1) in the ninth. The five RBIs were a career high for Seager.
Seattle opened the ninth with a single from Robinson Cano that fell in front of Houston's outfield that was playing deep and a sharp single by Corey Hart.
Fernando Rodney (1-1) got the victory, pitching the top of the ninth in relief.
Seattle's late rally spoiled what was looking to be a sweep for the Astros.
Cosart took a shutout into the seventh after failing to make it out of the first inning in his previous start. The Astros got a two-run double from Jason Castro in the third inning and Chris Carter's second homer of the series in the seventh to take a 3-0 lead.
But that was all erased by Seager, who entered the day hitting .156 with just two RBIs on the season.
Seattle cut the lead to 3-2 in the bottom of the seventh when Justin Smoak singled to left against the shift and Seager followed with his first homer of the season. Cosart was replaced and Houston's relievers got to the ninth without issue and Fields taking over.
Fields had earned saves in the first two games of the series, but was battered by Seattle this time. Cano opening the ninth inning with his single, followed by a line drive to left from Hart. Fields rallied to strike out Smoak, but Seager jumped on the first pitch and hit it out deep to right field.
It was the third multi-homer game of Seager's career.
Houston got its first two runs because of Seattle starter Chris Young's struggle with control. Young finished with five walks, including a trio in the third inning. Young walked Matt Dominguez on a 3-2 pitch to start the inning, then did the same to Dexter Fowler with two outs. Castro followed with a line drive just fair down the right-field line that allowed both runners to score.
Houston added another in the seventh when Carter hit his second homer of the series, a solo shot that just cleared the wall in left field. The homer came on a 3-2 pitch moments after Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon and a trainer had come to the mound to check on a possible injury. Young had retired 11 of 12 batters prior to the Carter homer.
Despite getting a no-decision, Young provided a break for Seattle's taxed bullpen by making it through seven innings throwing 113 pitches. He struck out six and walked five.
NOTES: Seattle RHP Taijuan Walker (shoulder) and LHP James Paxton (back) will begin recovery throwing programs within the next week. McClendon said Paxton has been cleared to start throwing Friday and Walker next Monday.

The Eagles have bolstered their personnel department with a familiar name.
Tom Gamble, a Haddonfield High graduate who was with the San Francisco 49ers the last eight years, including the last two as director of player personnel, was hired on Wednesday as the Eagles vice president of player personnel.
According to the Eagles, Gamble will report directly to general manager Howie Roseman and work in both the college and pro personnel departments.
Gamble, 49, is the son of Harry Gamble, who served as the Eagles team president from 1986 to 1995.
"Since Ryan Grigson left to become the general manager of the [Indianapolis] Colts, we've been looking for the right person to fill his spot, and we are excited about what Tom can bring to the team," Roseman said in a conference call.

A Charleston police officer and a second driver were hospitalized following a wreck downtown this morning.
Shortly before 4 a.m., a 2006 Chevrolet that was headed north on Line Street disregarded a traffic signal and struck a police cruiser that was headed east on Meeting Street, S.C. Highway Patrol Senior Trooper Bridget Wyant said. The Chevrolet then ran off the road and struck a signal box, she said.
Wyant identified the officer as 35-year-old Carlos Torres and 20-year-old Jasmine Wilson, both of Charleston. Each driver was wearing a seat belt when the wreck occurred, she said.
Torres and Wilson were transported to Medical University Hospital following the wreck, Wyant said. Both have since been released, she said.
No charges have been filed in the collision, Wyant said.

A patch of dirt in a desert in Chile is her home now-as close as she can get to the man she loves. Besides a sleeping bag and some clothes, Cristina Nunez Mesias, 26, has a poster with photos of her two young daughters, Arlene, 8, and Madeleine, 10 months, and the words, "Te esperamos Papito"-We are waiting for you, Daddy. And she has a letter sent up from her boyfriend, Claudio Yanez, 34, a miner trapped half a mile below. "He tells me to make sure Arlene goes to school, to pay the bills," says Mesias, now in her fifth week of camping out. "Don't be sad, he says. Be patient." Yanez also writes about his big plans-he wants finally to marry Mesias. "I told him I will," she says. "I'll buy a new dress when he gets out. It's like we're falling in love all over again."
Love, faith, fear, hope-emotions run deep at the San Jose gold and copper mine near Copiapo in northern Chile, where 33 miners are trapped beneath 2,300 feet of solid rock, and hundreds of their loved ones are waiting for them to be freed. The miners were sealed off on Aug. 5 when a section of passageway collapsed, and for 2½ weeks no one could be sure they were alive. Then, on Aug. 22, rescue workers finished drilling a 4-in.-wide borehole into an emergency shelter, and were stunned when a capsule they sent down came back with a note: "We are all, 33 of us, safe and well in the shelter." That news "was much bigger than if we'd won the World Cup," says Elizabeth Steger Ojeda, daughter of Jose Ojeda, the miner who wrote the note. "It was an inexplicable emotion."
Now, as workers drill as many as three rescue tunnels through the granite-like rock-a process Chilean officials say may take up to four months-the trapped miners are doing what they must to survive. They are, relatives say, a tough bunch: many come from families of miners, and they are used to working seven straight days in the dark, dank mine (they earn up to $1,600 a month). Very quickly, the miners organized into what one Chilean official called "a full hierarchy," with shift leader Luis Urzua, 54, handing out work assignments and Mario Gomez, 63-the oldest trapped miner-serving as the group's spiritual leader. "He seems very calm," says Gomez's wife, Liliane Ramirez, 51, who spoke with him on a phone sent down one of two drilled boreholes (see box). "He's worried we are sleeping badly or cold at night. He's more worried for us than himself."
So far, the miners are healthy and mostly in good spirits, and receiving regular shipments of food, medicine and oxygen. They have divided into teams that stay awake for 12-hour shifts, and twice each day, at 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., a nurse sends down a note letting them know a shift is over. "They have a very structured schedule," says Dr. Albert Iturra, a psychologist who has spoken to the miners. "Breakfast at 8. Lunch at 12. Teatime at 5. Dinner at 8." The men have specific tasks: some are in charge of food, others medical care, others sanitation. "They are going to have to work together down there," says Blaine Mayhugh, one of nine miners rescued after four days trapped in Pennsylvania's Quecreek Mine in 2002. "Some are going to get drained mentally, and they'll need the other guys to pick them up."
The miners can expect many grim moments in the weeks ahead, as they endure the longest stretch ever faced by trapped miners. (The previous record was 25 days in a 2009 Chinese mine collapse.) One big positive: these miners can contact the outside world. They've been heartened by brief phone calls and one-minute videoconferences with their families, hundreds of whom are gathered, like Mesias, in a makeshift tent city dubbed Camp Hope. Fernando Pena Rosas, 65, who is waiting for son Edison Pena, 34, has wedged photos of Edison-as well as a picture of Elvis Presley, his son's idol-in some rocks near his tent. He unfolds a piece of lined paper and reads from the letter Edison sent up. "We thought we were going to starve to death down here," Edison wrote. "You can't imagine how much my soul hurt at being underground and not being able to tell you I was alive."
An investigation is under way into what caused the collapse and why the mine did not have a second access route as required. But that's not the main concern of the families at Camp Hope-all they want now is to see their loved ones emerge from the belly of the earth. Liliane Ramirez, who says her husband, Mario, "is not a man of many words," shares a letter he scribbled, full of feelings he does not often voice. "I love you so much," Mario wrote. "We have been together so many years, and we will always be together." Ramirez holds tight to the ripped scraps of paper, as if they were hope itself. "I have a strong faith," she says, "that everything is going to be okay."

Why do some people impute evil to the petroleum cycle?
I'm not a biologist, but as I understand it, plant life stores solar energy as chemical energy by using it to convert the carbon dioxide and water from the air into carbohydrates, DNA, RNA, protein and the like. Animals eat the vegetation and other animals for energy.
When these plant and animal organisms, which live on land, die, they decay back into carbon dioxide and water and go directly back into the atmosphere. Nobody seems to attribute evil to this cycle.
Multiple times through geologic history, before humanity, the oceans have covered the continents. When plants and animals on the bottom of oceans that have covered continents die, they don't necessarily rot and return directly to the atmosphere.
Some get into a reducing environment and become hydrocarbons that exist for many millions of years. Sometimes these hydrocarbons are found, produced, refined and burned by humans to put the carbon dioxide and water back into the atmosphere, where they came from in the first place.
Why do some people impute such vast evil to this natural, circular cycle?

England Women Under-19s lost the Twenty20 series after falling 2-0 behind to an Emerging South Africa XI at Potchefstroom.
Fielding first after the home side elected to bat, England made a fine start when Grace Gibbs bowled Zizipho Mdebuka in the second over.
Georgia Hennessy then dismissed the dangerous Yolani Fourie with 41 on the board but South Africa rebuilt, albeit slowly, through Nonkhululeko Thabethe and Chene Bester.
The pair put on 41 before England took three quick wickets with Fi Morris, Hennessy and Freya Davies the successful bowlers.
Davies and Gibbs claimed a further scalp each as South Africa finished on 112 for seven.
Despite losing three quick wickets, England rattled along at a decent rate and, having reached 68 for three after 11 overs, would have expected to coast home.
However, the collapsed dramatically once Izzy Collins was dismissed for 21, which was the highest score of the innings.
Fourie was the chief destroyer, finishing with 5-18 from four overs, as England lost their last seven wickets for just 31 runs.

WASHINGTON - Members of the Georgetown baseball team had little time to rest and relax after the regular season finished last month, with more than a dozen players competing in various summer leagues throughout the country.
Rising senior center fielder Justin Leeson (Exton, Pa./West Chester), a 39th round draft pick of the Kansas City Royals in the Major League Baseball Draft, is playing in the famed Cape Cod League with the Harwich Mariners. Leeson, an All-BIG EAST Third Team selection after batting .332 this season, has appeared in five games for the Mariners and has one home run.
Rising junior first baseman Steve Anderson (Albany, N.Y./Guilderland) is playing for the Newport (R.I.) Gulls of the New England Collegiate Baseball League. Through six games, Anderson is fourth in the league in batting with a .348 average.
Junior pitcher Jack Vander Linden (Dallas, Texas/Dallas Episcopal) is pitching for the Alaska Goldpanners of the Alaskan Baseball League (www.goldpanners.com). Vander Linden has started one game, throwing five innings, while allowing no runs on one hit with six strikeouts.
Sophomore Matt Hollenbeck (Horsham, Pa./Hatboro-Horsham) is pitching for the Quakertown Blazers (www.quakertownblazers.com) of the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League and is 1-0, picking up a win in two innings of relief.
Two Hoyas - rising juniors Christian Venditti (Newtonville, Mass./St. Sebastian's Country Day) and Justin Abbott (Raleigh, N.C./Millbrook) - are playing for the Dekalb County Liners (www.dekalbcountyliners.com) of the Midwest Collegiate League. Venditti has appeared in all 12 games for the Liners, and is batting .231, while Abbott has appeared in nine games and is batting .316.
Those two will face off at some point this summer against rising sophomore Max Allen (Highland Park, Ill./Highland Park), who is playing for the Dupage Hounds (www.dupagehounds.com) is Lisle, Ill. Allen has started one game, throwing 4.1 innings in his first start, and the Hounds are 5-5 overall.
Rising sophomore Will Brown (Chesterfield, Va./Matoaca) is playing for the Strasburg Express (www.strasburgexpress.com) of the Valley Baseball League. The Express are 5-10 overall this season and Brown is 0-1 after taking the loss in his first start.
Others appearing on summer league rosters include rising shortstop Ryan Busch (Falcon Heights, Minn./Roseville Area), who is playing for the Chillcoathe Mudcats in Missouri as part of the MINK League. Their schedule starts later this month.
Georgetown finished the 2012 season with a 24-29 overall record and a 10-17 mark in the BIG EAST. Georgetown tied for eighth place in the league and missed out on an appearance in the BIG EAST Tournament by percentage points. The team's 24 overall wins and 10 league wins were the most for the program since 2006.

Posted by ESPN.com's Chris Low
BATON ROUGE, La. -- The much anticipated arrival of Nick Saban to Tiger Stadium with the rest of the Alabama team was pretty uneventful.
Saban was the first one off the team bus and was surrounded by security personnel. There were actually as many Alabama fans, if not more, than LSU fans gathered outside the stadium to wait on the Crimson Tide buses.
The boos by the LSU fans were drowned out by the cheers from Alabama fans, who were there in force to support their man.
The only thing halfway interesting about Alabama's arrival was that Saban was wearing a purple tie.
A peace offering? Probably not.
Outside the stadium, there were some pretty catchy signs and shirts.
One Alabama fan (one brave Alabama fan) was carrying around a large sign that read: We've got Saban, and you've got Les.
There were also a ton of purple shirts all over campus that read: Don't be a Nick.
On Friday night, LSU fans burned an image of Saban in effigy at an apartment complex in Baton Rouge. The scarecrow that was burned had a picture of Saban's face and a headset on the head. Someone dressed in a Mike the Tiger outfit actually lit the fire.
Not everybody in Baton Rouge despises Saban. Kevin Scarbinsky of The Birmingham News spent the week here and caught up with several of the Sabans' friends to get their perspective on all the hoopla.
Saban spent part of his Friday night speaking at the high school in Baton Rouge of former LSU receiver Michael Clayton, who was one of Saban's first big signees when he got the job at LSU.
And people wonder why Saban is such a good recruiter.

ATLANTA — The 116 laws taking effect today include letting local governments decide if grocery stores can sell alcohol near college campuses, new limits on worker's compensation benefits, tougher restrictions on pain-management clinics and relaxed sentences for people convicted of non-violent crimes.
July begins the state's new fiscal year, and the start of a $19 billion spending blueprint that carries over 3 percent reductions for all agencies other than schools. It also makes a handy time for new laws to take effect.
The following events are happening on July 1, 2013:
ATLANTA — Federal authorities in Atlanta are warning Georgia residents to celebrate the Fourth of July safely and responsibly.
ATLANTA — Georgia transportation officials are restricting road construction during the Fourth of July holiday period to make travel easier.
ATLANTA — A utility wants to charge its customers a total of $275 million to replace aging natural gas plastic pipes across the state to improve reliability, although a former regulator says the cost burden falls unfairly on the residential side.
ATLANTA — Police say a third man has been arrested in a fatal shooting and armed robbery at a jewelry store in Carroll County.
MABLETON, Ga. — Police in Cobb County say a man has died in an early-morning hit and run car crash.
ACWORTH, Ga. — City leaders in Acworth say they're considering upgrades to railroad crossings that would make them silent within the next two years.
WASHINGTON — The Fourth of July won't have a patriotic boom in the sky over some military bases because budget cuts and furloughed workers also mean furloughed fireworks.
TRION, Ga. — Sixteen corrections officers at a northwest Georgia prison have either quit or are transferring as a new warden is set to begin duty.
WASHINGTON — Like other married couples, same-sex couples are about to learn that federal benefits for being married might not be all they're cracked up to be.
NEW YORK — A charter helicopter carrying a family of four Swedes on a sightseeing tour of New York City lost power shortly after takeoff Sunday and made an emergency landing on the Hudson River, authorities said. The pilot and occupants were uninjured.
GETTYSBURG, Pa. — Sweat soaking their wool uniforms, the Union and Confederate soldiers met near the stone wall to exchange handshakes, pleasantries and even a few jokes.
PORTOVIEJO, Ecuador — Edward Snowden is "under the care of the Russian authorities" and can't leave Moscow's international airport without their consent, Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa told The Associated Press Sunday in an interview telegraphing the slim and diminishing possibility that the National Security Agency leaker will end up in Ecuador.
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration faced a breakdown in confidence Sunday from key foreign allies who threatened investigations and sanctions against the U.S. over secret surveillance programs that reportedly installed covert listening devices in European Union offices.
CAPE TOWN, South Africa — Challenging African youth to seize a "moment of great promise," President Barack Obama declared Sunday that the future of the young and growing continent still rests in ailing South African leader Nelson Mandela's vision for equality and opportunity. Seeking to carve out his own piece of that legacy, Obama unveiled an ambitious initiative to double electricity access in sub-Saharan Africa, vowing to bring "light where there is darkness."
CAIRO — Hundreds of thousands thronged the streets of Cairo and cities around the country Sunday and marched on the presidential palace, filling a broad avenue for blocks, in an attempt to force out the Islamist president with the most massive protests Egypt has seen in 2½ years of turmoil.
WASHINGTON — The Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee said Sunday that any attempt at comprehensive immigration legislation cannot offer a "special pathway to citizenship" for those in the United States illegally. That approach could block the GOP's hopes of ever winning the White House, the top Democrat in the House predicted.
LAS VEGAS — High temperatures brought discomfort to much of the Southwest on Sunday as many parts of the region were coming off several record-breaking heat days and bracing for more sizzling temperatures.
SAN FRANCISCO — Gay rights supporters crowded parade routes in San Francisco, New York and other major U.S. cities on Sunday — but this year's pride celebrations were especially lively after a week that saw the Supreme Court issue two major decisions on gay marriage.
TOPEKA, Kan. — The chief federal judge in Kansas refused Sunday to temporarily block parts of a new state abortion law, including a requirement that providers' websites link to a state site with information they dispute.
LAS VEGAS — A Paris-born performer in Cirque du Soleil's "Ka" died after a fall during a show in Las Vegas.
I try to make it a habit to hang around with smart people. Given that my IQ is not much larger than my waistline, this isn't difficult to do.

Developing Linguistic and Cultural Readiness for CMU Graduate Programs
An intensive five-week summer program designed for nonnative English speakers entering Carnegie Mellon University graduate programs each fall.
Warner Hall 308
ACC is a full-time program. Students have classes everyday from approximately 10:00 am to 3:30 pm, with additional opportunities for training and practice in the late afternoon. Students have about 20 hours of classroom work as well as an additional 10-12 hours of outside work each week. Because second language learning requires sustained, on-going practice, students need to make a commitment to attend all of the sessions and to participate actively in all class sessions.
A certificate is awarded after successful completion of the program. In order to complete the program, students must participate in a videotaped presentation for Academic Speaking, compile a portfolio for Academic Writing, and fulfill the attendance requirements for each class.

We should save water for farmers
I'm trying to figure out if I'm missing something — and maybe the amount of water we use to water our yards is just "a drop in the bucket" — but would it make any sense to limit us to two watering days a week and give the farmers more water? Or is what we use to water our yards an insignificant amount? I love my yard to look nice, but it doesn't generate one penny for anyone if it does look nice. Yet we have agricultural people moving their crops out of state and others reducing their production because of lack of irrigating water. Weld County is an agricultural county. Let's not make our farmers and produce growers go broke (or leave the state) because of lack of water. This is irrigated desert, and they can't grow crops without water. Or did I miss something? Kudos to Jeff Thayer for his letter "There is no such thing as something for nothing," and to Chuck Fisher for his letter "Same-sex marriage raises concerns." Both are very well stated.

2007 Ford Focus Wagon ZXW SE 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
I had a Escort wagon with 120,000 then I got a 2001 Focus wagon it had some problems.I was hit drivers side and the car came through for me I survived!Built Ford Tuff!So I searched and bought a 2007 left over wagon.I wish Ford did not stop making the wagons as I can fit two teenagers, and 3 dogs in it.It is the best car for the buck and mileage!
The car is tuff it now has 172,000 miles on it and it is always there for me.
Just tires,
oil changes, battery and give it loving care.
My children just started driving and we just bought a used 2007 Focus, it survived a rear end collision!
Now I am off to buy another Focus!
I upgraded the tires to Michelin or Perrillis at different times and they are the best in rain or snow.
The car needs an upgraded sound system.
2007 Ford Focus Wagon ZXW SES 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
Rides nice looks nice and handles nice. Second 2007 Focus still own both however have too sell the sedan because of my wife's passing. It hurts to do so because she loved her red Focus. If you are thinking of buying and are not willing to spend a lot drive one and you will see what I mean.
comfort and ride
sun visors kind of cheap.
I love this car. It's easy to drive, the interior is very intelligently designed and it feels like a much bigger car yet drives very sporty. My only complaint is an annoying squeak from the area of the backseat which so far, Ford has been unable to fix.
I find the Focus wagon to be just about the right size for all my needs. It can carry 5 passengers, though the back seat might be a little cramped for large people. With the back seat folded down, it can carry a surprisely big load. It handles nicely in all traffic situations. It has plenty of get-up and go. Merging into expressway traffic is no problem at all. At highway speeds (I tend to have a heavy foot) I average about 32mpg.
I guess my favorite feature is the amount of room in the back with the back seat folded down. I also like the remote locks. To me the darn car just looks very good. I like its looks better than the sedan's. Ford should have advertised it more. It's just the right size for a couple of retirees.
I think it could use more and handier storage space for the usual kind of stuff you keep in your car: maps, change, bottles of cleaner, tissues, etc. I think Ford has made a bad mistake in not advertising this version of the Focus very much and in discontinuing its production.
I needed an economical, dependable, third car with a rack for my longboards. It has exceded all of my expectations. I have put 5,300 miles on it in 3 months. I modified a set of INNO racks and they work great. The Focus carries a ton of stuff, 2 9 foot plus boards on top, is very fun to drive, and gets decent gas mileage (25 to 30 mpg with the PZEV). I did not expect such a versatile vehicle. Ford should consider making an "Outback" style car based on the Focus. Unfortunately, this model is discontinued. Great cheap surf car for solo trips! Excellent commuter and general purpose vehicle. Amazingly quick and agile. Highly recommend.
Driving fun, rack, room in back, European feel and controls (kooky as they may be), side air bags, decent stereo, price! Past experience with Tracers and Escorts leave me to expect excellent reliability.
I think Ford should improve it, not eliminate it. I would pay for better seats (like my Mazda 6s had.) Better gas mileage, a bit more backseat room. Better seat fabric. 2008 Techie toys seem lame to me. There is a big potential demand for basic sport/utility wagons if packaged and marketed right.

STATEMENT: Podesta on New Climate Change Report from United States Global Change Research Program
Contact: Madeline Meth
Phone: 202.741.6277
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
"The report out today from the United States Global Change Research Program makes it even clearer that we must act now to combat climate change. Nothing makes the case for action like a regional projection of the harm climate change will do in our communities. The effects will hit every region of our country and be felt in every industry if we do not take action. America and our partners around the globe must embark on a path to reduce global emissions and seize the chance to curb the impacts predicted by this report. Congress has the chance now to take a big step in that direction by passing the aggressive climate legislation currently in the House which will create jobs, combat climate change and reduce our dependence on foreign oil."
John Podesta is the President and CEO of the Center for American Progress.

Campaign to save 'last intact' Second World War Bomber Command airbaseBreaking News
It is a time capsule of Bomber Command, the unit that has seen its role overlooked since the end of the conflict.
Now following the success of the memorial to the unit which was unveiled by the Queen in central London last month, the Second World War airbase at RAF Bicester could become a permanent museum to honour the courage of the bomber crews.
The 348 acre airfield, which contains 19 Grade II listed buildings and 12 scheduled ancient monuments, has been put up for sale by the Ministry of Defence.
Among those looking to take on the airfield is Bomber Command Heritage (BCH), a group of volunteers, who are planning to convert it into one of the country's foremost aviation museums....
