Hello all, I am in the market for a WRX and went to look at one tonight. The vehicle is a 2003 with around 75k on the car. I am new to the car and there are a few things I noticed when test driving it so I thought I would try to get some feedback from experienced WRX owners/ drivers.
The first issue off the bat was when I accelerated from first there was a slight gurgling/ bubbling sound. It also made that same noise when accelerating in reverse. But once getting above 4-6 mph the noise either stopped or was muffled by engine noise.
The second issue is when approaching speeds of around 45 mph there was a high pitch grinding/ almost whining sound. It is definitely relative to speed because when I coasted in neutral at around 45-50 mph, the sound continued. And the sound became progressively louder to a certain point then plateaued at 45-50 mph.
If you guys could help me diagnose these observations and advise me on potential costs/ how much work to fix these possible issues that would be great. I have mechanical experience fixing cars and have done some major work to previous vehicles but I just wanted the advice of wrx owners having never driven or been in one before.
Thank you!

text: I have recently begun toying with the idea of introducing myself to property management. I've always liked the idea of it, owning houses, trailers, condos and having tenants. I realize there is probably a lot of bullshit I'm not thinking of that is terribly annoying and miserable to deal with (finding the right tenants, making sure someone doesn't start a grow-op, partyers, etc). Plus there is the large initial investment. If anyone has any good resources or advice to offer I would appreciate it. :)

Ni No Kuni Demoed On PS Vita Custom Firmware, Please Make This Happen Sony
Posted on Friday, February 15 @ 10:01:10 PST by Jonathan_LeackAmong the PlayStation Vita's list of difficult-to-solve issues is its game library. Similar to the PlayStation 3 during its infancy, a lack of system sellers has consistently placed it low on software sale charts. The difference is that the PS3 is now much more mature, and its library is busting with some of the best games in the past decade. But that took time.
It almost makes too much sense for Sony to finally get Remote Play in a state where most if not all of the PS3's killer apps can be played on the beautiful mobile OLED of the Vita. Surprisingly, Sony hasn't jumped the gun.
A video posted by PSVsource on YouTube shows what just one example of what Remote Play could do for the Vita. Ni No Kuni's bright color palette and deep RPG aspects are the perfect match for the Vita, and a homebrew programmer decided to make that marriage a reality. The result is wonderful, as seen below:
The part about this that's so disappointing is that a gamer, not Sony, had to make it happen. It's clearly possible as demonstrated in the video, so pointing to the hardware is a moot point. Perhaps Sony doesn't understand how it would impact Vita sales, or better yet, maybe it's saving the support for PlayStation 4. If the last year has said anything it's that Sony doesn't really care too much about the Vita, but that could quickly change on February 20th with the announcement of full Remote Play support on the PlayStation 4. Pipedreams, my friends.

On Monday I headed to the Domain & Botanical Gardens with my camera this time. I took a few photo's of the wildlife. Not sure what the big beaked birds are but the lovely looking white parrot type things are the annoying cockatoo! They are incredibly raucous, like crows from home with loudspeakers! I have only seen one crow/rook bird here. It didn't sound like a crow, more like Joe Pasquale saying "ow, ow..." I left it too late to get photos of the fruit bats, but they are so cute. They are damaging the trees in the gardens though so non-lethal methods have been introduced to move them onwards. They do carry rabies though which isn't so cute. Also in the park are some amazingly huge trees, which I also got some photos of.
Tuesday I headed off to Bondi to have a sit down on the beach. There's just something about me and beaches eh? It was a great day out there, none of that cold north wind, and there were a good few people wandering about on the sand. Also a lot of surfers braving the swells. I wonder what it'll be like in a few months time when the place is crawling with backpackers. (yeah, I know I'm one but I was alone and quiet and sober!) Didn't get to see any lifeguards about though, they seemed happily ensconced in their little watchtower. Maybe I should have fell into the water and splashed about a bit. I did wet my feet and the water was as cold as the Atlantic in summer at home. I think I may have gotten used to the tropics, I'm cold here... Brr...

Eight persons were injured, none seriously. Car Wreck Kills Youth BIG SPRING (RMS) Noel Leon Harvcll, 17, of nearby Sand Springs, was killed about 1 a.m. Wednesday when his car rammed an embankment and overturned on a country road, five miles east of here. The auto rolled over on Har- vell, said Highway Patrolman Don Bates. A passenger, Samuel Hill, 18, of Sand Springs, was thrown out the other side, of the auto into a field, said Bales. Hill was listed in satisfactory condilion at a hospital. Bales said Harvcll apparently lost control of Ihe car. A passing motorist reported the accident.

Debris was sent flying into the streets in front of and behind the building on the edge of the "Little Italy" section of lower Manhattan. First Deputy Commissioner John F. Walsh described the ex- plosive device as a sophisticated bomb with timer and said that if it had gone off earlier the day, 500 employes would have been in Ihe building. Mayor John V. Lindsay loured the scene and said, "Such ads of violence cannot and will not be tolerated in this cily. Il's a very sad thing when people turn on the police who have so responsible for prevent- ing violence in our cily." Manhattan has been plagued by a series of bombings in re- cent months. By MARCUS F.HASON NAHAL GESHUR (AP) The Israeli girls in unifonn wept as they waited for a truck lo take them to the funeral of Iheir comrade killed by the Syrian barrage the day before. Everywhere they looked was deslruclion, the work of the Arab artillery that hit their settlement on the Golan Heights. A recreation room look a direct hit; chairs, tables and television scls were smeared with blood. Kleclric wires dangled in the breeze, and the settlement had lost ils electric power. Soldiers piled the carcasses of 50 sheep inlo a smelly heap. The Israeli flag still flew, but it was partly shredded by shell splinters. A tree smoldered, and smoke rose from several places where shells had exploded. fn addition to the 18-year-old girl soldier killed, four girls and two young men were wounded. "I'm just crying at all this said one of Ihe girls in uniform sticking plaster over a shrapnel scratch on her cheek. "It's terribly depressing. We work so hard here, and now this, and Dorit (the dead girl) Il's an awful lliing." But the several dozen young settlers of Nahal Geshur said they would stay on des- pite the threat of more shelling from the Syrians a few miles away. The Israelis claimed the Syrians launched a sudden artillery barrage at the settlement Monday. The Israelis fired artillery and tank blasts back then sent Iheir warplanes againsl the Syrian guns. Nahal Geshur is on Ihe central Golan Heights captured from Syria in (he war Ihree years ago. It was established a year ago by a group of Nahal youths, mem- bers of the army branch which sets up farm settlements in the territories occupied during the short war. ussein, Arafat Agree on Truce 32 Hostages Held in Amman Hotel By THE ASSOCIATED VRESS Amman Radio announced that King Hussein of Jordan and guerrilla .leader Yasir Aratal concluded an agreement today to end the fighting between their forces in Jordan's capital. Meanwhile, a band of extremist guerrillas held 14 Americans and 18 other foreigners hostage in an Amman hotel. One or the hostages in the .lor- dan Intercontinental Hotel was a son of former President Ca- mille Chamoun of Lebanon. An- other was Associated Press cor- respondent Dennis Neeld, who reported the hotel was held by the Marxist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a small terrorist organization which has frequently rejected Arafat's leadership. Neeld said a spokesman for Boycotting Students Felt Girl Testifies Testimony was to resume at a.m. Wednesday in the second day of the Chicano school boycott action against the Abilene school hoard and administration in Abilene federal court. The plaintiffs called three witnesses Tuesday afternoon including A. E. Wells, superin- tendent of schools; Gloria liiyand, 17, an Abilene High School junior; and Leticia Santana, 12, a student at Franklin Junior High. The plaintiffs charge the school with punishing students participated in the walkout by giving them uncxcused absences. Miss Bryand said the unexcused absence rule should not apply to the boycotting stu- dents. "We felt like we were being punished, like they were saying we were doing something wrong, and we she said. Students are given zeros for the days that they are absent that are unexcused, Wells said. That has been the policy here, he said, "since I came here over 20 years Wells slid.

McMillan, 72-year-old chair- man of Ihe House District of Co- lumbia Committee, far outdis- tanced his three opponents Tuesday but fell 719 votes short of the majority needed lo elimi- nate the possibility of a June 23 runoff.

Olher statewide Democratic contests were for adjulant gen- eral, won by Asst. Adj. Gen. Robert McCrady; and comp- troller general, won by incum- bent J. Henry Mills. The Blh District was the only congressional seat contested in Ihe Democratic primary. Ihe Popular Front charged Tuesday night that the Jorda- nian army was bombarding Palestine refugee camps around Amman, causing many deaths. The guerrilla spokesman said the safety of the hostages could not be guaranteed if these at- tacks continued. Necld's report made no men- tion of the broadcast announce- ment of Hie Hussein-Arafat agreement and apparently was sent before it was announced. Communications with Amman were sharply curtailed. The hostages in the Interconti- nental included 14 Britons and three West Germans as well as the Americans and Hie Le- banese. All were slaying in the hotel. A spokesman (or Ihe Popular Front in Beirut, Lebanon, said Ihe hostages were in no danger. "They are having a good time, he said. "They are eating ice cream for free."

They took up firing positions on bedroom balconies and placed guards at every exit. Most of the guests spent the night huddled in the hotel base- ment.

Why did (he city buy new buses that are causing such a pollution problem? A. The exhaust from (he new diesel engine buses is stronger and the odor more offensive than the gasoline engine, says Don Smyth, Municipal Garage superintendent. But a car going at the same slow speed will put out more dangerous gases than a diesel engine. The exhaust of the dicscl is offensive and irritating, but Ihe carbon monoxide from Ihe auto cxhausl, while colorless and odorless, is much more poisonous, he says.

That sounds like my case but using bovinate doesn't always helps. If global-ede-mode is activate in .emacs I can run C-u M-x bovinate RET before or after the first completion and it won't work. If however global-ede-mode is _not_ activated in .emacs starting bovinate right after M-x global-ede-mode works and it will complete the symbol FOO. I have tested it with a stripped-down .emacs file but that doesn't make any difference. I also changed (semantic-load-enable-code-helpers) in my .emacs into (semantic-load-enable-guady-code-helpers) but it doesn't change anything except that it paints the "test.h" include line red when doing the first completion (if global-ede-mode is deactivated in .emacs). After activated global-ede-mode and doing "bovinate" it's no longer red and completion works. With global-ede-mode activated in .emacs this line isn't red but completion doesn't work. I will do some more test to find out what triggers this problem on my system. Best Regards, Ralf Hoffmann -- Ralf Hoffmann <ralf@...> Homepage: http://www.boomerangsworld.de

NEW YORK, Tuesday—I spent Sunday in Geneva, New York, celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Colleges of the Seneca. In 1796, Geneva Academy was founded; in 1822, it became Hobart College; and in 1908, William Smith College which is the women's college, was founded.
I was chairman of a most impressive panel, consisting of the Hon. John G. Winant, former Ambassador to Great Britain, Dr. William A. Eddy, a former president of the colleges and at present an Assistant Secretary of State, and Paul M. Herzog of the National Labor Relations Board. A panel on Saturday had discussed the responsibility of educational institutions in the community and in the state. The Sunday panel discussed this responsibility from the point of view of the nation and the world.
We all attended a very fine evening service at which the Rt. Rev. Charles K. Gilbert, Bishop of New York, preached the baccalaureate sermon and I was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws, since I could not be present at the Commencement exercises on Monday.
* * *
My hostess was Mrs. John M. Potter, whose young husband was president of the colleges until he died suddenly last winter. She wanted to carry through his plans and the Board of Trustees helped her to do this. I think she must be very proud of the imaginative and forward-looking program which her husband started.
For instance, those young people who are studying the review of Western civilization cannot fail to meet the problems of today with a better perspective drawn from the past. And the eight-week course planned as "an educational program for leadership in the industrial community" should grow into something of real value in bringing together labor and management. Both must become conscious of their mutual interests and abilities. It has always seemed to me that mutual respect between them would greatly help their negotiations.

At Lake Success yesterday morning, we held the first meeting of the bill-of-rights drafting committee of the Human Rights Commission of the United Nations. The eight members were all present, though the United Kingdom member, Mr. Geoffrey Wilson, was a little late, having driven straight from the dock when the Queen Elizabeth got in. Monsieur Rene Cassin, the French delegate, was delayed twenty-four hours on his plane, but arrived in New York Sunday night. So it was evident that the attendance at this meeting meant real effort on the part of the members.
The Secretariat had prepared a document which was really an analysis of the many bills which had been presented and a grouping of the rights mentioned in those bills. An enormous amount of documentation, showing the various sources where these rights have already been mentioned, has been done by the Secretariat. The suggestion was made that, after the election of officers and routine procedure of organization was over, we adjourn so that the members of the committee could familiarize themselves with the material in hand before meeting again on Wednesday morning.

Just legislate
Minnesota legislators should learn to do their jobs and not take the easy way out with constitutional amendments, such as a supermajority requirement of a three-fifth majority for tax increases.
The supermajority amendment is simply a bad idea and demonstrates that today's legislators are becoming lazy, like taking a week off only a week after the 2012 session started. They are not willing to utilize the legislative judgment they were elected for and sent to St. Paul to exercise.
Is it becoming the trend for the Legislature not to legislate?
A group of legislators, led by majority Republicans, are seeking to put a supermajority constitutional amendment on the November ballot.
Since 1858, Minnesota has been a state where the majority rules and the rights of the minority are protected. If a supermajority amendment is placed on the ballot and approved by the voters, the Legislature and Minnesotans could be virtually held hostage by a legislative minority.
The primary reason "supermajority" amendment supporters want such an amendment is the claim that it will keep taxes low, but that is a false assumption.
One needs look no further than Arizona, Nevada and California, who have all passed such an ill-advised amendment. Last year Arizona couldn't get the necessary votes to approve needed tax increases and was forced to use gimmicks, such as selling state buildings, to balance its budget. In Nevada, the state's debt rating was downgraded primarily due to its supermajority amendment, which in turn increased borrowing costs.
A supermajority amendment often just forces a Legislature to not make decisions and, in turn, forced local governments to increase property taxes in order to provide basic functions, like education, law enforcement and fire protection. In reality, a supermajority amendment often just constrains legislative options, requires temporary budget solutions, creates more frequent legislative stalemates and brings higher borrowing costs for the state.
Do legislator supporters of a supermajority amendment so distrust their own judgment that they don't even try to make a tax decision?
The Legislature should reject the supermajority amendment and just do the job they were sent to do — simply legislate.

For many college football teams, attempting to schedule a home game with Notre Dame these days is only slightly easier than securing Pearl Jam to play the halftime show.
The Fighting Irish venture into the Northeast only for the best stadiums, often neutral-site venues, in the most favorable television markets. Just ask UConn.
So it's an amusing bit of irony that Notre Dame agreed to play Yale in the first (and only) meeting between the early 20th century football juggernauts in October 1914. Just a month later, a massive and cutting edge stadium opened for business. The Yale Bowl, and its seating capacity of 70,000, would play host to the largest crowds in football history.
Of course, the tables were turned back then.
Yale was still a long-established football giant with a national following. It's soon-to-be-obsolete home stadium, Yale Field, had an impressive capacity of 33,000.
Notre Dame, meanwhile, had only recently burst onto the national consciousness. Twenty years earlier, Notre Dame coaches were writing Walter Camp for advice. In 1913, behind then-star player Knute Rockne, the Irish crushed powerhouse Army to complete a third straight unbeaten season.
The Irish had won 27 games in a row leading into the October 17 contest. Yale, despite a 3-0 record, was widely expected to be victim No. 28. Rockne was a first-year assistant to Jess Harper. Notre Dame's passing attack, combined with All-American fullback Ray Eichenlaub, was believed to be too much Yale to handle.
But Yale coach Frank Hinkey had other ideas. He brought in a Canadian rugby team to demonstrate its lateral passing game, which the Elis, led by halfback Harry Legore, executed to perfection against Notre Dame. And though Eichenlaub was a monster, Yale's defense never broke.
Final score: Yale 28, Notre Dame 0.
"It was the old story of a well-balanced machine crushing individual brilliancy," read the New York Times account.
Rockne took over as Notre Dame's head coach when Harper retired three years later. He installed a revamped system that made the Irish all but unbeatable. Notre Dame lost 12 games in Rockne's 13 seasons.
But he learned a hard lesson at Yale Field. The Irish returned to South Bend and that Monday Harper installed a new backfield shift which utilized Rockne's idea of flexing the ends. It was the beginning, Rockne said, of the famed Notre Dame offense.
"I sat on the side line at New Haven that Saturday afternoon and saw a good Yale team...(that) made Notre Dame look like a high school squad," Rockne wrote in his autobiography. "They lateral passed Notre Dame out of the park and knocked our ears down to the tune of twenty-eight to nothing -- the most valuable lesson Notre Dame ever had in football. It taught us never to be cocksure. Modern football at Notre Dame can be dated from that game, as we made vital use of every lesson we learned."
Rockne told the Register after the game that Eastern football was still superior to that played in the West. He also said he hoped Yale would retain the Irish on the schedule the following season, though he could sense the shift in tide.
"I think that within a year or two, there will be many Eastern teams coming West for games," Rockne said. "It will be good for the game and good for the country."

Stanton aims for manager interviews within 30 days
STANTON — The search is on for a new city manager to oversee the day-to-day operations of both the city of Stanton and the village of Lakeview.
James Freed, who previously held those positions, left recently to take a job in Port Huron.
At Tuesday's meeting, the Stanton City Commission discussed options for finding a new manager with attorney Jeffrey V.H. Sluggett, of Grand Rapids-based law firm Bloom, Sluggett, Morgan. The commission had tasked Sluggett with looking into various hiring options.
Sluggett noted the city had previously enjoyed a satisfactory working relationship with Freed, who was "shared" between Stanton and Lakeview, where he also served as manager. Sluggett suggested the city try to recreate that arrangement with a new candidate.
He also suggested the commission post the position with the Michigan Municipal League (MML), The Daily News and other media outlets.
"You're under no legal obligation to post (the position)," Sluggett said. "If you already had a candidate in mind, you could go into negotiations right away."
Mayor Monica Tissue-Daws indicated that, currently, the city has no candidate waiting in the wings and that she hoped to get as many viable possibilities as possible lined up before beginning the interview process. She said she hopes that — with the help of Lakeview' Mayor Ed Winter — the interviews could begin as soon as a month from now.
Until then, Sluggett said, the duties that would otherwise be handled by the city manager would go to Tissue-Daws.
Daws added she has previously met with Winter and the Lakeview Village Council is in favor of entering into another shared manager arrangement. She also noted that Lakeview has in the past been very successful when it comes to finding high-caliber managers.
Commissioner John Kroneck suggested it might well take more than a month to gather enough candidates, much less interview them all. Kroneck estimated the time might actually wind up being closer to three months.
"No, we're really hoping to start interviews within one month," Tissue-Daws replied.
In what will likely come as good news for Stanton residents, the city's fire department's Insurance Services Office (ISO) rating has recently been upgraded from a 7 to a 5. According to Commissioner Ken Burris, who has been instrumental in implementing the changes responsible for the upgrade, this can positively impact the insurance rates of homeowners within the city.
Addressing the crowd gathered at Tuesday's meeting, Burris said, "This will affect all homeowners in Stanton. You need to check with your insurance companies to see if they'll go along with it. It can save you money on house insurance. If they won't go along with it, you should start looking around for another provider."
The savings, Burris added, can be significant.
The new rating is based on improvements in three areas: how well local 911 operators field incoming calls, how fast fire fighters respond and how available water is in a given area.
In other business, the commission approved a bid from K&R Excavating to do some needed gravel and leveling work at the city's sewer pond and around the water tower. Cost of the project is capped at $40,000.
Finally, the commission granted a request from the Montcalm Technical Rescue Team to use the city's water tower for training purposes, provided the group provide their own insurance and sign a waiver absolving the city of any liability should an accident occur.

Cold Agglutinin Disease
- Diagnosis
- Background
- Lab Tests
- References
- Related Topics
Indications for Testing
- Hemolytic anemia, particularly in presence of lymphoproliferative disorder
Laboratory Testing
- Establish hemolysis
- CBC with peripheral smear – demonstrates anemia and hemolytic anemia
- Reticulocyte count – usually elevated
- Positive indicators of hemolysis – hyperbilirubinemia, increased lactate dehydrogenase
- Direct Coombs
- Specific for C3d and IgG
- Usually positive for C3 but negative for IgG
- Establishes the presence of immunoglobins and complement degradation products on RBC surface
- Positive test alone does not establish autoimmune hemolytic anemia – 0.007-0.01% of normal population is positive
- Specific for C3d and IgG
- Serum cold agglutinin titer at 4°C – typically ≥1:64
- Low levels may also be found in healthy adults and those with peripheral vascular disease or nonlymphoid neoplasm
- Clinical hemolysis may occur with low titers (1:64) – usually titers ≥1:1,000
- Once hemolysis diagnosed – evaluate for associated secondary diagnosis
- Complement assessments – C3, C4, CH50
- Quantification of IgG, IgA, IgM
- Other testing based on clinical presentation
Differential Diagnosis
- Hemoglobinopathies
- Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria
- Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
- Thalassemias
- Connective tissue disease
- Antiphospholipid syndrome
Cold agglutinin disease is a form of autoimmune hemolytic anemia caused by cold-reacting antibodies and is classified as either primary (idiopathic) or secondary (due to an underlying disease).
- Incidence – <1/100,000 in U.S.
- Age – most common ≥60 years
- Sex – M<F, 0.55:1
- Some report a slight female predominance in older populations
- Primary cold agglutinin disease
- Usually associated with monoclonal cold-reacting autoantibodies
- Secondary cold agglutinin disease
- May be associated with either monoclonal or polyclonal cold-reacting autoantibodies
- Predominantly caused by infection (tend to be polyclonal) or lymphoproliferative disorders (tend to be monoclonal)
- Usually transient in children and young adults
- Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria
Risk Factors
- Lymphoproliferative disorders
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
- Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
- Hodgkin lymphoma
- Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance
- Primary infection
- Bacterial
- Viral
- Influenza A and B viruses
- Adenovirus
- Epstein-Barr virus
- Genetic
- Trisomy 3 and 12
- Autoimmune disorders
- Accounts for ~25% of autoimmune hemolytic anemias (Berensten, 2015)
- Termed "cold agglutinin" because the antibodies cause affected human red blood cells to agglutinate at 4ºC
- Cold-reacting autoantibodies are usually IgM, occasionally IgG, and rarely IgA
- Polyclonal – presence of kappa and lambda light chains
- Monoclonal – single type of light chain, usually kappa
- Immunoglobulin-mediated deposition of complement on red blood cell membranes leading to complement-mediated hemolysis
Clinical Presentation
- Fatigue and malaise due to hemolytic anemia – often the sole manifestation
- Dermatologic – acrocyanosis, Raynaud phenomenon, livedo reticularis
- May present as part of a paraneoplastic syndrome
Direct Coombs (Anti-Human Globulin) with Reflex to Direct Antiglobulin-Mono 0014008
Method: Hemagglutination
Determine presence of immunoglobins and complement degradation products
Reflex pattern – If direct Coombs test is positive, then direct antiglobulin-mono testing will be added
Evaluate for cold agglutinin disease
Evaluate complement system
Complement Activity Enzyme Immunoassay, Total 0050198
Method: Semi-Quantitative Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
Initial screening for functional ability of the complement system; tests for defects in the classical complement pathway
Use for individuals with recurring infections and/or symptoms of autoimmune and antigen complex diseases
Initial test in the workup of immunoglobulin disorders
In adults and older children with suspected hypogammaglobulinemia, order in conjunction with serum protein electrophoresis and immunofixation

"I thought it was the best Thursday offensively that we've had to this point," Fulmer said. "Now we have to make that carry over to the game. You like for Thursday to be dress rehearsal with absolutely no mistakes. But if that was the case, you wouldn't need to practice."
The Vols, 1-2 overall and 0-1 SEC, are looking to even both of those records with a tough road conference victory. Auburn, meanwhile, has started its season 3-1 overall and 1-1 in league play, with a one-point win at Mississippi State followed by a five-point loss at home to LSU.
On the Tennessee injury front, Fulmer said offensive guard Vladimir Richard practiced today.
"He was our only real concern, our biggest concern. But he worked and got everything done today so we're going down healthy."
Junior tight end Jeff Cottam, who has been out with a back injury since camp, could return to the practice field by the middle of next week.
McNEIL LISTED AS 'CENTER OF ATTENTION'
No rest for the weary as Josh McNeil and the Tennessee Volunteers look to pick themselves up from last week's loss to Florida.
McNeil & Co. hope to get back on the winning track this weekend against Auburn, a task not made any easier on the road. That doesn't seem to faze McNeil, a three-year starter and two-year Rimington Trophy Watch Lister who will be making his first appearance at Jordan-Hare Stadium. In fact, only three players on Tennessee's roster have faced Auburn before.
"It'll be my first time playing Auburn, so it'll be a new experience for me," McNeil said. "I hear it's a great atmosphere and a great place to play, so I'm really looking forward to it."
A win against Auburn would put his team on the road to redemption. The Tigers, on the other hand, have won the last three games against Tennessee and lead the overall series 25-21-3. As far as the Auburn defense goes, McNeil has his work cut out for him.
"I think what impresses me the most is their pad leverage, the way their defensive lineman stay low and come after you really hard," he said. "That's a sign of a very well coached team. They rotate guys in and out and they've got some really great players up front."

What Matters to a City? Thoughts from Detroit
Posted by Alan Mallach on August 7, 2012
In the last few months, Neil Peirce's Citiwire.net has hosted several pieces highlighting positive things happening in Detroit along the lines of "the wave of young and mid-career professionals who're moving to Detroit." Having spent much of the last nine months working in Detroit, I found this interesting but questionable. I don't want to put the writers down, since I appreciate that they are trying to counter a lot of bad media headlines about the city, but what particularly struck me was that all of their good news was emanating out of a small part of Detroit, an upside-down T centering on downtown and Midtown (the area inside the red outline).
Now, areas like Midtown and downtown are not exactly thriving by most standards; both have more than their share of vacant lots and boarded up buildings. But they are starting to draw some market activity, and some -- although hardly a wave -- young and mid-career professionals. And the revival of Southwest Detroit, which has become a center of Mexican life and activity, is exciting. But it made me wonder.
I've spent quite a bit of time looking at middle-class Detroit, and what I think of as the city's "middle-ground" neighborhoods. Not the devastated areas (dark green on the map) or the upside-down T, but the large areas (the major ones are shown in blue outline on the map) that have been the heart of Detroit's (largely African-American) solid working class and middle-class for the last few decades. As the map shows, they dwarf the upside-down T in area, as well as in population.
If one accepts (as I do) the proposition that a healthy, mostly home-owning, middle class is a critical element in a city's health, Detroit's numbers for the past decade are positively scary.
While the city's overall population dropped by 25 percent, the number of residents who have jobs dropped by 39 percent, the number of married couples with children dropped by 39 percent, and the number of households earning more than $50,000 dropped by 34 percent. Countering optimistic notions about a wave of young professionals, the number of people aged 25 to 34 also dropped by 39 percent. This contrasts with cities like Pittsburgh or Philadelphia, where the population in that age group grew strongly over the decade.
The human face of these numbers is visible across the middle-ground neighborhoods. Houses that sold for $100,000 five or six years ago are now selling for $20,000; vacant, boarded houses are popping up on hitherto well-kept streets (see picture); and more and more, houses are not being bought by homeowners, but by speculators. In the next Wayne County tax auction this fall, over 20,000 single family homes, nearly all in these neighborhoods, are likely to be auctioned off for back taxes. With most of Detroit's nearby suburbs highly affordable to anyone with a steady white-collar or industrial job, Detroit's middle-class is fleeing the city. This is a part of Detroit's reality that isn't making it into the media or the blogs, which seem either preoccupied with the city's devastation, a genre that has come to be called "ruin porn," or with proffering feelgood stories as a counterweight to the horror narrative.
My point is not to mourn the sad state of middle-class Detroit and its neighborhoods, but to raise some questions about cities and how we should be looking at their future. Even if the most optimistic reports about the Midtown and downtown trajectory are accurate (which I doubt), is that enough on which to rebuild a city? And, if the historically middle-class neighborhoods of the city should largely collapse, can a small downtown core surrounded by concentrated poverty and physical desolation, reminiscent perhaps of ancien régime Paris, be a socially and economically sustainable place?
I don't know the answers to these questions, but I suspect that they are more "no" than "yes" answers. A strong downtown and Midtown are important, but I suspect that Detroit's future as a healthy city is going to hinge upon its ability to stabilize some, if not all, of its middle-ground neighborhoods. How to do this, and whether any such effort comes too late for many neighborhoods, is another issue that remains to be addressed.

Margo Martindale, whose turn on FX's Justified earned her an Emmy, is back at the cable network, joining the cast of FX's upcoming drama series, The Americans. The Americans, which premieres on January 30, is a period drama about the complex marriage of two KGB spies posing as Americans in suburban Washington D.C. shortly after Ronald Reagan is elected President. The arranged marriage of Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth Jennings (Keri Russell) – grows more passionate and genuine by the day, but is constantly tested by the escalation of the Cold War. In at least eight episodes, Martindale will play Claudia, a KGB illegal living in the U.S. who delivers assignments to Philip and Elizabeth. The gig also reunites Martindale with Justified creator/exec producer Graham Yost, who executive produces The Americans alongside creator Joe Weisberg, Joel Fields, Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank.

Margo needs her own series. She can lead ! Come on Hollywood, I'm tired of you guys just using her for ratings or a supporting actress. How many projects we shot down because writers had her in mind. Makes me ill.
One day…..
I've never met Graham Yost. I've also never heard a bad word spoken about him. In this business that's cause for celebration. Congratulations on the new show!
Love her. She's so great in everything she's done.
Margo will be worth watching! Setting the DVR…

Penelope Cruz transformed by motherhood
Subscribe to Filmibeat
"From the first second, you feel so much love. It is a revolutionary experience. That's the best way I can describe it. It transforms you completely, in a second. Nature is very wise and gives you nine months to prepare, but in that moment, when you see that face, you are transformed forever," US Vogue magazine quoted the actress as saying.
Penelope and her husband Javier Bardem want their children to live a normal life. "I want my son - and my kids if I have more - to grow up in a way that is as anonymous as possible," she added.

Governor Scott Lowers Tuition For All Florida Students Including Illegals
Governor Rick Scott signs a measure lowering tuition for all Florida students ---including those living in the state illegally.
The new law offers in-state college tuition rates to undocumented students who had attended a Florida school for at least three years before graduation.
The current in-state rate is one-quarter of what out-of-state students and those in the country illegally pay.
The measure also restricts the ability of Florida universities to raise tuition above the rate set each year by legislators.
It repeals a law that allowed universities to raise tuition up to 15 percent a year. Instead it allows two schools — the University of Florida and Florida State University — to raise tuition up to 6 percent without approval by the Florida Legislature.
Scott also plans to remind voters that former Gov. Charlie Crist, who is now running as a Democrat, approved the changes that let universities raise tuition above the rates set annually by legislators.

New Mexico Route 66 landmark renovation hits snag
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — T[auth] he on-again, off-again renovation of a Route 66 landmark in Albuquerque has hit yet another snag.
The Albuquerque Journal reports (http://bit.ly/YoDqOE ) that the National Park Service is requiring that the developer of the De Anza Motor Lodge design elements that were added to the motel in 1964. Rob Dickson, the project's developer, said the changes are costly and irrelevant.
The design elements required by the federal agency are all external features, such as roof overhangs, that would add about $175,000 to the cost, Dickson said.
"They are rotted away," he said of the 1964 design features. "We would have to rebuild them."
The National Park Service in November gave "conditional approval" to the $4.3 million renovation of the Route 66 landmark. The agency's approval is needed to obtain federal historic tax credits.
Dickson plans to convert the 74-year-old motel in Albuquerque into a 39-unit apartment complex and restaurant. Dickson's firm, De Anza Developer LLC, would contribute $3.9 million in cash to the project. The city of Albuquerque would contribute the property and $421,500 in cash.
Dickson and Albuquerque officials want to restore the motel to its 1957 design, which lacked the roof overhangs.
Albuquerque officials plan to appeal the National Park Service's conditional approval of the project, said Gabriel Rivera, acting manager of the city's Metropolitan Redevelopment Agency. But first, the federal agency must formally deny the city's proposal, Rivera said. The city asked the park service in February for a formal denial and is awaiting a response, he said.
Jane Cowley, a spokeswoman for the National Park Service, said the agency is considering Albuquerque's request and plans to make a decision "fairly soon."
The effort to renovate the vintage 1939 motel has experienced several false starts since the city purchased the site in 2003 for $891,000. A development agreement was reached in 2006 that later stalled.
Dickson, who redeveloped the old Albuquerque High School, signed an agreement with the city in January 2012 to redevelop the motel.
In June, Dickson predicted that the 10-month renovation project would begin by August. He said he remains hopeful that he and the city can resolve their differences with the National Park Service and begin work soon.

Singer-actor Jared Leto is finding it difficult to process the critical acclaim he has received for his performance in the Oscar-nominated movie, Dallas Buyers Club.
Leto, 42, was excited when he was offered the role of Rayon, a transgender woman with HIV, which has gone on to receive six Academy Award nominations, reported contactmusic.com.
Leto, who put his acting career on hold for over six years to release music with his band, Thirty Seconds To Mars, is in the running for the best supporting actor prize and he says the acclaim he is receiving for the role proves he was right to end his film hiatus for the project.
"It took six years for this to come to me. I wasn't looking to make a film but I ended up reading the script and fell in love (with it)," he said, adding, "I don't want to sound like a jerk right now but someone told me yesterday that I've won over 30 awards for it already. I didn't even know there were 30 awards to win. The big ones were the Golden Globes and the SAG Awards recently," Leto had to dress as a woman and lose weight for his role.

Shmoo plot
In electrical engineering, a shmoo plot is a graphical display of the response of a component or system varying over a range of conditions and inputs. Often used to represent the results of the testing of complex electronic systems such as computers or integrated circuits such as DRAMs, ASICs or microprocessors. The plot usually shows the range of conditions in which the device under test operates (in adherence with some remaining set of specifications). The term was in use in 1970 to refer to the "tuning" of ferrite core memory stacks on IBM systems.
For example, when testing semiconductor memory: voltages, temperature, and refresh rates can be varied over specified ranges and only certain combinations of these factors will allow the device to operate. Plotted on independent axes (voltage, temperature, refresh rates), the range of working values will enclose a three-dimensional, usually oddly-shaped volume. Other examples of conditions and inputs that can be varied include frequency, temperature, timing parameters, system- or component-specific variables, and even varying knobs tweakable during silicon chip fabrication producing parts of varying quality which are then used in the process.
Often one 'knob' or variable is plotted on one axis against another knob or variable on another axis, producing a two-dimensional graph. This allows the test engineer to visually observe the operating ranges of the device under test. This process of varying the conditions and inputs to the component or system may sometimes be referred to as 'shmooing' but more officially known as electrical testing or qualification. Automatic test equipment often contains software features that allow automated shmooing of a part.
The shmoo plot was invented by VLSI Hall Of Fame inductee Robert Huston.
The plot takes its name from the Shmoo, a fictional species created by Al Capp in the cartoon Li'l Abner. These small, blob-like creatures have shapes similar to the "working" volumes that would be enclosed by shmoo plots drawn against three independent variables (such as voltage, temperature, and response speed). Semiconductor chips do not usually exhibit "shmoo" shape plots. Historically, testing of magnetic core memory arrays produced the "shmoo" shape and the term continued into the semiconductor era.
Automated test equipment have traditionally generated a two-dimensional, ASCII form of the shmoo plot that uses an "X" to represent functional points and blank space for non-functional points.
If a sufficiently-wide range of variables were to be tested, a normal shmoo plot would show an operating envelope of some shape not unlike Al Capp's Shmoo, but in practice, this might damage the device under test, and finer-grained views are of much more interest, particularly focusing on published component margins (e.g., - 5% Vcc). When this is done, the operating envelope typically extends to the border of the plot in one or more directions.
Sometimes a shmoo plot has an unusual and surprising shape, and while it is difficult to determine the exact cause, it is sometimes due to some unusual defect (perhaps in only part of a circuit) coupled with otherwise normal operation. In other cases, it might be an artifact of the electrical testing setup or the test program used, in particular a race condition. As such, a shmoo plot can be a useful test setup verification tool.
A limitation of the technique is that the extended duration of testing of the device may cause additional internal device heating, resulting in a skewing of the data (later tested cells on the plot may perform worse than earlier ones). One way of avoiding this is to exercise the device thoroughly in a similar manner immediately before the actual shmoo test.

Road Warrior: Snail's pace for repair work
While President Obama was making a strong pitch in Westchester County, N.Y., last week for his $302 billion transportation bill, North Jersey commuters were groaning under the weight of funded road, bridge and mass-transit projects that are already under way and seem to take forever.
From bus terminal construction at the George Washington Bridge to chronic flooding on Main Street in River Edge near New Bridge Landing, motorists complain that projects either take too long or are slow to get off the ground. Much of their ire seems focused on the Route 3 corridor from Route 46 to the Route 495 approach to the Lincoln Tunnel.
"When I moved to Woodland Park, we were told that renovating the 3 and 46 merge in Clifton was right around the corner," complained Carl Sacks. "But 20 years later, nothing's happening."
Farther east, commuters like Marilyn Lotito want to know why the Routes 3 and 21 intersection can't be finished in a timely fashion with limited disruptions.
"This 'Highway from Hell' … now floods with every rainstorm," Lotito, a Clifton motorist, railed. "It takes me 30 to 45 minutes going to and coming from work — and I live only 10 miles away."
Now that many of winter's excuses have melted away, here are some springtime answers:
The George
Here's how Leonia's Michael Phelan describes the GWB bus terminal now under reconstruction: "A neglected open box."
The women's bathroom "looks like something you'd see in a Third World country," said a commuter from Westwood, adding that "thousands of women still have to use it" pending the terminal's $180 million renovation, which won't be completed until next year.
A Port Authority representative was sympathetic but made no apologies for conditions at the terminal, which has been stripped of nearly all amenities. "The developer is constructing a trailer where bus station operations will shift during the next construction phase," explained agency spokesman Chris Valens.
But clean bathrooms may be the least of the commuter problems brewing at The George. Although traffic has been relatively smooth since last winter's long delays while the span's upper deck was being replaced, winter weather created havoc. So work was stopped — but only temporarily.
Deck replacement is expected to resume in mid-June, Valens said, and the project will likely last 12 weeks.
June, however, is not known for the kind of freeze-thaw conditions that caused pieces of decking to collapse in January, so delays while the work is being done — mostly overnight — should be minimal.
Still, there's a new wrinkle.
"Engineers have uncovered additional locations on the deck that also will need to be replaced," Valens said, and "upper- and lower-level closures will continue as needed for the remaining contract work through the end of June 2015."
Nevertheless, maintaining the world's busiest bridge is a necessary constant. The $1 billion replacement of the span's 83-year-old suspender ropes will last from 2017 through 2022, when The George will turn 91.
Route 3
The extensive $160 million rerouting project at Route 21, which includes new bridges, more lanes and miles of towering sound-barrier walls, is on schedule for a summer completion, when final resurfacing and lane markings are added, said state Department of Transportation spokesman Steve Schapiro. As for flooding, it appears to have been a temporary condition caused by stormy weather and tidal conditions near the Passaic River.
But don't expect much of a breather along this busy highway because a $150 million project is scheduled to begin early next year at the Route 46 split. A contract is expected to be awarded soon for the first phase, which calls for a two-way service road in Woodland Park between Notch and Rifle Camp roads. It will run parallel to Route 46 west to remove local traffic from the highway. In addition, a nearly 17-foot-tall bridge, along with interchange ramps and culverts is planned at Clove Road.
The PIP
Last month, departing state Transportation Commissioner James Simpson promised to repave the tattered 11.5-mile New Jersey section of the Palisades Interstate Parkway, although he didn't specify a time frame. Bids are to be taken in June, said PIP Executive Director James Hall, with paving expected to follow by year's end. It will be the first time the parkway has been paved since a $14.5 million project in 1996.

In a recent article in this journal, Daniel Steel charges me with committing a fallacy in my discussion of inductive rules. I show that the charge is false, and that Steel's own attempt to validate enumerative induction in terms of formal learning theory is itself fallacious. I go on to argue that, contra Steel, formal learning theory is in principle incapable of answering Hume's famous claim that any attempt to justify induction will beg the question.

Wellington: Former New Zealand wicketkeeper Gareth Hopkins has announced his retirement from competitive cricket after a career spanning over 17 years.
The 37-year-old Hopkins played four Tests, 25 one-dayers and 10 Twenty20 internationals with his last Test and ODI appearance coming against India back in 2010.
In domestic cricket, Hopkins played for Northern Districts, Canterbury, Otago before moving to Auckland in the 2007-08 season.
The veteran scored 7550 runs in 158 first-class matches, including 17 centuries and 34 half-centuries. He also pouched 435 catches and effected 26 stumpings.
Hopkins also played 203 List A matches in which he hit 4013 runs at 27.11. He had an aggregate of 1279 runs in 83 matches in T20s.
A highlight of his tenure as captain came when he led Auckland to successive HRV Cup titles in 2011 and 2012.
Hopkins believes the game has drastically changed since he made his debut against England in June 2008 at Nottingham.
"Now there's strength, mental, nutrition, technical and video analysis - so many tools you can use. Sometimes I think we get a little confused, but each of them can aid you if you use them correctly," said Hopkins.
