GILBERT, Arizona – Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center soon will expand its radiation oncology program, bringing new treatment expertise to patients at Banner Boswell Medical Center in Sun City, Ariz. The facility is slated to open in September.
The expansion of radiation treatment to Banner Boswell Medical Center in Sun City will bring the number of facility-based Banner MD Anderson radiation oncology programs beyond the walls of the Gilbert campus to three. These services are also available at Banner Thunderbird Medical Center in Glendale and Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa.
The program integrates radiation cancer treatment at all three locations with Banner MD Anderson, including MD Anderson's world-renowned approach to cancer care and access to subspecialty experts in both Gilbert and Houston. Radiation oncology patients will also have access to many of the programs and services offered at the comprehensive cancer center in Gilbert.
"This expansion at Banner Boswell will allow us to provide radiation treatment close to where patients live, work collaboratively with physicians in Sun City and surrounding communities, and offer the same high-quality cancer treatment that has made Banner MD Anderson so widely respected," said Dave Cheney, CEO of Banner Boswell.
Approximately half of all cancer patients require radiation therapy as part of their treatment. This incredibly precise method of delivering regulated doses of high-energy radiation is often prescribed daily over several weeks. The Sun City location will allow patients to receive their radiation treatment at a location that is more convenient and close to home.
To celebrate this new expansion, Banner MD Anderson will host a free community open house at Banner Boswell on Saturday, Sept. 12. All community members are welcome to stop by to learn more about these radiation oncology services and tour the new building. Refreshments will be provided.
Community Open House
Saturday, Sept. 12, 8 a.m. to noon

Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center, located on the Banner Gateway campus, delivers cancer care to patients in Arizona through the collaboration of Banner Health and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Banner MD Anderson offers focused disease-specific expertise in the medical, radiation and surgical management of the cancer patient; an evidence-based, multidisciplinary approach to patient care; access to clinical trials and new investigative therapies; state-of-the-art technology for the diagnosis, staging and treatment of all types of cancer; oncology expertise in supportive care services.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston ranks as one of the world's most respected centers focused on cancer patient care, research, education and prevention. The institution's sole mission is to end cancer for patients and their families around the world. MD Anderson is one of only 44 comprehensive cancer centers designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). MD Anderson is ranked No. 1 for cancer care in the U.S. News & World Report's "Best Hospital's" survey. It has ranked as one of the nation's top two hospitals since the survey began in 1990, and has ranked first 11 of the past 14 years. MD Anderson receives a cancer center support grant from the NCI of the National Institutes of Health (P30 CA016672).

Kissimmee police dig up vacant lot for evidence
POINCIANA, Fla. - Kissimmee police and Polk County deputies are searching a vacant lot for evidence in a crime.
Crews have been using machinery to dig up the lot on Parakeet Court, off Marigold Avenue in Poinciana.
Investigators aren't saying exactly what th
ey may be looking for, but they brought out heavy equipment and a crew of crime scene t echs.
For a second day, neighbors along Paraket Court watched heavy machinery plow through a lot near a vacant home. Kissimmee police will only say they are lo
oking for evidence of a crime. So far, police haven't found any.
"It's still nerve-racking b
ecause you don't know what they're doing over there and digging out. They don't come over here to even put a paper in the box to let us know what's going on," said resident Ivette Ortiz.
Neighbors have heard investigators may be looking for a body, but Kissimmee police won't say.
"Can you tell us what type of incident we're talking about? A homicide or some other sort of crime?" asked WFTV reporter Melonie Holt.
"At this point, we don't have anything to substantiate that tip. So we're not going to speak on what type of incident," said Stacie Miller with the Kissimmee Police Department.
All neighbors know is the last time they saw this type of law enforcement presence, Osceola County investigators were looking for a missing mom. Coincidentally, the body of 28-year-old Nicole Fields was found near the neighborhood. Fields' ex-boyfriend was charged in her death. Now, n
eighbors just want to know if another crime has taken place close to home.
"I am concerned. I want to know if this place safe for us," said resident Maria Ortiz.
Police say they will keep digging until they've exhausted the search area.

A Hong Kong businessman is offering $65-million to the man who can successfully take his daughter's hand in marriage, despite the fact that his daughter, a 33-year-old lesbian, is apparently already married to her female partner.
Cecil Chao Sze-tsung said the "marriage bounty," worth 500-million Hong Kong dollars, is to help his future son-in-law establish a new business,
Chao told the BBC that claims his daughter Gigi Chao had married partner same-sex partner Sean Eav in France were false, and that he's already heard from men interested in courting her.
"I don't mind whether he is rich or poor. The important thing is that he is generous and kind-hearted,"
"Gigi is a very good woman with both talents and looks. She is devoted to her parents, is generous and does volunteer work."
Gigi Chao, who has a degree from the University of Manchester and works for her father's company, said she found the "plan entertaining."
Same-sex marriages are not recognized in Hong Kong. Homosexual activity was, however, decriminalized in 1991.

Newbie question - thermostat functioning and baseboard heaters
Hi, I've bought a new house that has baseboard heaters. I'm fairly handy around the house but have never before had a oil-fuel furnace or baseboard heaters. After figuring out how to bleed air out of my baseboards, I turned the heat on over weekend and my immediate issue is that my house is too hot. I have the thermostat set to HEAT with it on HOLD at 63°. When I woke up this morning, the house was 72° (according to both the thermostat itself and another thermometer I have) and the temperature outside was 50°.
In addition, I have heard the furnace light up 4 times in the last hour. It burns for maybe 30 or 60 seconds and shuts off. There's not any hot water running in the house and the heat should not be on because it's so hot in here.
Here's my setup: I have White-Rodgers 1F80-261 thermostat. The thermostat appears relatively new, has batteries, etc. It's in SL mode with the the two wires hooked up to the "W" and "RH" terminals and a heating system with an fuel-oil lit furnace with (water) baseboard heaters. The furnace is heats (1) the water for the baseboards when the heat is on) and (2) hot water for the kitchen, bathroom, etc. This is a Burnham America V-14 furnace, my home inspector guessed it was around 15 years old.
Could you please help? I don't understand how this system works or is supposed to work. I can't find an owner's manual anywhere and the B-A 1-800 number refuses to help. I'd appreciate any help with this problem or help finding some good reading material. Thanks!
Hi, I have a simular system. The boiler maintains a low and high temp. mine has dials where i lower the temp. in the summer and raise it in the winter. summer 140-160, winter 170-190 degrees, 20 deg. spread. It runs now making domestic hot water. sink/shower. you could turn it off and only turn it on for dishes, showers etc. in the summer.
Thanks for the suggestion. I had a plumber here today (sewer backing-up into basement--yuck). I ran the issue by him and he diagnosed the problem without looking at it, in his first sentence.
Here's the fix:
There was this (green) valve on the system that had been left "open." That made the water circulate through the system backwards, regardless of the thermostat. The valve is used for maintenance and should be left "closed." When I bled the system, it improved the circulation and started heating more. It had nothing to do with the thermostat at all.

I love to dance and I have been known to be one of the best hip hop dancers in my town. I got my own crew and we have joined several dance contests and always bags the first place. The perks of being a good dancer is getting a fit body and the hottest girls in town. I have banged a lot of busty women, but never had a chance to be with two lesbians. It was one of my goals to get groovin' with two hot lesbians.
There was this chick named Betty and she was one of the busty women who would do everything just to get in bed with me. I already refused her several times since I still got a long list of girls waiting for me to fuck them. She said she would do anything just to have a taste of me again. I told her that I want to do a threesome with two hot lesbians. She said to me: "Your wish is my command".
I checked my email and saw a message from Betty with hot lesbians pictures attached on it. She was asking me to choose who I think has the hottest lesbians pictures. I had fun choosing from the amature lesbians and emailed her back. We were having a practice at my friend's studio when I was surprised to see Betty together with the two amature lesbians. She smiled at me and told me: "Are you ready to bust a move on us?". Hell yeah, I told the girl I was with that I will be teaching these girls a private dance lesson so she has to wait. Fuck, I taught these lesbos well in bed. They have been my fave fuck buddies and Betty is now on top of my list. The things a girl would do just for a fuck is really amazing.

I've been informed I am a "cultural Marxist". No idea what that means, but I keep bumping into it. It seems to be a sort of right wing swear word, but I'm jiggered if I can figure out what it means, particularly since I'm not a Marxist and I always took Marxism to be a theory about economics, not culture. If one of youse guys could tell me what it is supposed to mean, who coined it, and why, I'd be beholden to you. If I'm to be cursed as a "cultural Marxist" I should at least have some idea of what my nefarious agenda is.
"Cultural Marxism" is the new epithet of choice

Washington, D.C. -- According to NRF's latest holiday survey conducted by Prosper Insights & Analytics, nearly half (49.9%) of holiday shoppers indicate they plan to do the remainder of their holiday shopping online, the highest percent in the survey's 11-year history. As of Dec. 9, before the most recent weekend, 32 million holiday shoppers had not even started shopping.
"It comes as no surprise that Americans are eager to shop online in the coming weeks as busy schedules and a shift in the calendar have made the convenience offered by retailers' mobile apps and websites even more attractive this year," said NRF president and CEO Matthew Shay. "Recognizing the importance of providing stellar customer experiences for their shoppers, retailers will use every opportunity to promote their products through all their channels at very competitive prices, including exclusive shipping offers and in-store events."
Driven by low prices and value, 45.4% will wrap up their shopping at their favorite department store and 37.4% will head to discount stores. Others will shop at electronics stores (24.1%), clothing and accessory stores (23.6%), grocery stores (15%) and outlet stores (13.7%).
When it comes to what types of gifts people have already bought, apparel and toys rank high on the list. Half (49.6%) say they have already bought apparel this year, and nearly four in 10 (38.7%) have bought toys. Additionally, holiday shoppers have filled their baskets with electronics (26.6%), home décor or home-related items (18.4%), jewelry (17.5%) and personal care or beauty items (19.6%). Slightly more than one-third (34.4%) have bought gift cards, the most requested gift item of the season.
Many who aren't finished shopping plan to wrap up by Wednesday (29.2%), 14.2% on Friday, and another 12.3% on Saturday while 10.1% will wait until Christmas Eve.
According to the survey, 9.2% of those celebrating Christmas will shop online that day, up from 4.9% when NRF first asked in 2009. Additionally, 28% will browse the web, 53.4% will cook a holiday meal and 10.5% will go to the movies.
Tablet and smartphone owners will put their devices to work in the coming days. Specifically, 46.6% of tablet owners will research products and compare prices to aid in their purchase decisions, and 36.3% of smartphone owners will do the same. Almost two-in-five (19.4%) smartphone owners will actually purchase items via the device, and one-third of tablet owners (33.1%) will make gift purchases using the device in the coming days.

Veggies and Dairy addition to meals..

Just curious on thoughts.. I just started a new diet with Titan because of his allergies.. mornings is kibble and evenings is premade raw.. NV Instinct Organic Chicken to be exact.
Anyways.. with his raw I give him some variety.. not the same every night, but anywhere from sweet potatoes, green beans, bananas, and plain yogurt or cottage cheese.
I have read many different things, veggies and dairy aren't good for dogs, are good for them, or that it's not bad for them but not necessary.
Is this just kind of up to me, or is it actually bad for him?
If you are just starting a new diet then I would omit adding veggies or diary until you see how the new diet is working. We were very pleased with NV raw.
For some dogs with GI problems adding veggies is OK if finely chopped and cooked, as for diary I would only give a heaping tablespoon as a treat once a day. As with everything, moderation is key.

Oh ok. He has always eaten those things, and they didn't come up as an allergen on his test.. so would you still hold off for a bit? He doesnt' seem to have issues, it's been about a week and he still has firm stools, eats all his food, and same energy. His itchign has decreased significantly too..
Glad someone else has used NV Raw.. it seemed like a good product I just hadn't heard of anyone who used it.
We use NV raw 50% and The Honest Kitchen 50%. There are a lot of veggies in THK, so we never feel the need to add. If your dog is doing well as is, then I think you will see a great improvement using NV raw, better stools, no itching or redness on skin, few GI upsets. Our dog had colitis so that is why we have to be careful what we feed. It seemed like kibble upset her a lot. Not sure if it was the texture or the way the food was processed.

I'm glad yours is doing well on it too! I will eventually go to 50/50 but right now I'm doing 75/25. Just for expenses and seeing how he does with the first month. I have him 75% on NV LID Duck kibble then the organic Chicken Raw. But I didn't see one tiny ingredient in the kibble that is on his list of allergens. Luckily it was the lowest reaction you can get on anything, so the vet said that he should be virutally unaffected by it, stupid Peas :p Have you heard of Canine Caviar?

USC Slips 2-1 At No. 23 Portland
Sept. 18, 2011
PORTLAND, ORE. - The USC women's soccer team got stuck with another tight loss after another strong performance in nonconference action. The Women of Troy put together a tough effort against No. 23 host Portland on Sunday afternoon, but the Pilots managed early goals in each half on the way to a 2-1 loss for the Trojans. USC goes to 3-6-0 overall with Pac-12 play coming up next week. Portland improves to 4-4-1 with today's win.
USC was forced to play catch up after just three minutes of play when Portland got deep in Trojan territory, with a cross coming into the box where Amanda Frisbie backheeled the ball to Ellen Parker for a powerful shot to the back of the net. Portland settled back a bit from there, and USC was able to push back and create some opportunities next. In the 29th minute of action, Claire Schloemer pushed the ball up for a charging Elizabeth Eddy. Eddy got a foot on the ball for a shot that was blocked by a Pilot defender, and Ashley Freyer was there to gather in and finish the chance in front of the goal.
Twelve minutes later, USC goalkeeper Shelby Church and defender Autumn Altamirano combined forces to stop another dangerous Portland attack. Church made the initial save on a shot, and the rebound was taken by a Portland striker for a shot on goal that Altamirano was there to stop. Ashli Sandoval, too, would come up big with stops against Portland strikes, and she would even add one of USC's best chances to add to its goal count, driving a booming blast on goal and just off the crossbar later in the half. Brittany Kerridge wrapped up the half with an impressive sliding tackle to knock away a Portland breakaway, and the scoreboard was an even 1-1 for halftime.
The Pilots would jump out on the attack early in the second stanza as well. Another deep run saw Micaela Capelle force her way on goal to adjust the USC back line, shoving the ball left to Frisbie at the last moment for an open look on goal and a tap in to get Portland ahead 2-1 in the 49th minute of play. Another equalizer stayed stubbornly out of reach of the Trojans the rest of the way, however, although USC stuck even with the Pilots in the shot count in the second half. A foul on Freyer in the final minute of play set up Kerridge for a free kick about 30 yards out. She sent in a good ball, but the Portland keeper hauled in the ball as Kristina Noriega arrived to try for a play on it, and USC would get stuck with its sixth loss of the nonconference regular season.
The Women of Troy now return home to kick off their Pac-12 season with a 1 p.m. match against Washington State on Sunday (Sept. 25).
Sept. 18, 2011 - Portland, Ore.
SAVES: Shelby Church (USC) 2, Team (USC) 1, Hailee DeYoung (PORT) 3.

The Panama Laugh (edition 2011)
by Thomas S. Roche
Work details
The Panama Laugh by Thomas S. Roche
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Zombies? Check. Gross violence? Check. Creepiness? Check. Fast-paced action? Check. Engaging characters? Check.
All that stuff was great, and skillfully done. But the best thing is the quirky style the author brings to the genre. In the middle of the worst apocalyptic crisis imaginable, you get a description of a bad southern accent imitation like this: "J.R. Ewing drunk on Sterno, rehearsing for a bit part in a Broadway-musical remake of Deliverance." Like a good chef, Roche knows how to season the book with this kind of flavor in just the right spots, in just the right amounts, without over-doing it. I was delighted every time I ran into such a passage.
If I was the anti-hero of the story, Dante Bogart, here's what I'd say: "Best damn zombie book ever, fucko."
Oh, and by the way, I want a sequel. I've seen the apocalypse. Now I want to see the post-apocalyptic hijinks.
You may also read my review here: http://www.mybookishways.com/2011/12/review-the-panama-laugh-by-thomas-s-roche.h...
The Panama Laugh has been high on my to-read list for a bit, but it moved up in the queue because Paul Goat Allen (of Barnes and Noble) said it was awesome. Yep, The Panama Laugh made a zombie fave list of his, and it's been a few books since my last zombie novel, so it was time. There's a fairly comprehensive synopsis above so I won't rehash it. I will say that The Panama Laugh grabs you by the throat, hard, pretty much from page one and doesn't let you go. Please let me stress this. It. Doesn't. Let. Up. Dante Bogart is pretty much everything I love in an anti-hero. Yes, I'm a sucker for the bad boys sometimes, I admit it, and Frosty D. (don't call him that)¸falls right in with just the kind of guy that would get my motor running. When the man wakes up naked, bloody, and loaded for bear in the middle of a battleground, gets up, surveys the scene, takes a suspicious-yet-valuable looking case with him, and makes his getaway, I'm totally his by the time he washes up at the home of his old friend Van Fish, wondering where the last 5 years went. His old flame, Trixie (that's Dr. Trixie to you) is there too, and she's a little bit pissed at how Dante left things between them. That's really the least of his worries though. Trust me on this one. When the laughers start invading the shoreline of Fish's jungle home, the real fun starts.
Thomas Roche pulls absolutely no punches with Panama Laugh. The guffawing (this is seriously creepy-making), hysterical dead come from every direction, and thanks to a relatively good supply of ammo, lots of guts end up flying around. Lots. A veritable cornucopia of gooey flying zombie flesh fills the pages of The Panama Laugh. As Dante, Trixie, and Van make their escape via air, eventually ending up on a nuclear fortified gunship of the coast of San Francisco, our hero rarely flags. Told in first person from Dante's POV, the narrative goes back and forth between the action at hand to the events leading up to the zombie apocalypse, and it's not a pretty story. Corporate greed, a madman's desire for eternal life, and radical groups bent on depopulation make for a heady cocktail, and Dante's experience with the nasty cause of the Panama Laugh is very, very personal. Giving away too many details would take away the visceral fun of this awesome, terrifying, gruesome, and warped roller coaster ride, and I certainly don't want to do that. Roche's writing is tight, immediate, and engaging, and if you're anything like me, you'll want to read it in one sitting (ok, I read it in two, but I wanted to read it in one.) Horror lovers will eat this one up (sorry about the pun), and if you're a true zombie fan, it's not to be missed. I was in the mood for something "zombie", different, and awesome, and I got all three, and more, with The Panama Laugh. Put this one on your must list!

Terex to Acquire ASV for $488 mln

One of the surprises in the Queen's Speech is something called the Draft Governance of National Parks (England) and the Broads Bill. Unless you live in a National Park or the Norfolk Broads, you may struggle to muster enthusiasm, but the reason this surprise is an interesting surprise is that it tells us something about the way the Coalition works.
This bill, which will provide direct elections to National Park authorities in England, was, as I understand it, an important Lib Dem policy and a Coalition commitment. I'm told that Nick Clegg requested it, and this legislation may well have taken the place of a Forestry Bill to establish a public body to manage the forests. Campaigners had been pressing for this Bill as a way of burying the hatchet of the great forest sell-off row, and an impressive list of them wrote to the Telegraph last week saying it would 'enable the public forest estate to contribute fully to a bright new future for the environment, people and the economy'.
Choosing National Parks over forests seems even stranger when you consider that Dan Rogerson is the Liberal Democrat minister for, er, forestry. But it makes a little more sense when you factor in another campaigner: Lib Dem party president Tim Farron, whose Lake District constituency would benefit from the bill that the government plumped for in the end.

/// The Day the Music Died
NBC's Broadway baby last night toppled off the stage and into the orchestra pit, as Smash delivered disconcertingly tiny ratings. According to Nielsen fast national data, the Season 2 premiere of the musical drama drew just 4.47 million viewers and a 1.1 in the 18-49 demo, marking a 71 percent decline from the 3.8 the show delivered in its Feb. 6, 2012, curtain raiser. Overall deliveries were off 60 percent from the series premiere (11.5 million viewers). Year-over-year comps are somewhat unfair, as Smash no longer enjoys the huge lead-in provided by The Voice . Last year's opener was the beneficiary of The Voice 's audience of 17.8 million viewers/6.7 rating in the dollar demo. Instead of getting a boost from one of the highest-rated shows on broadcast TV, Smash led out of Betty White's Second Annual 90th Birthday Special .

I love lists and whenever I find myself overwhelmed, I react by making a list. Or filing something.
Making lists and creating a beautiful filing system gives me the illusion that life is under control. And even when it isn't, the process of writing a list of my problems or filing away papers that upset me is an incredibly comforting act. Once the offending papers are filed away and the to-do list is safely recorded on a piece of paper, I can (usually) stop thinking about these difficult issues until the time comes to tackle them head-on.
So when I recently started feeling overwhelmed by the idea of preparing Sunday dinners that everyone in my family would eat, I reacted by making lists-- a lot of lists. Because I know that my list-making obsession has a tendency to overwhelm others, I'm only including two of those lists here. I'm hoping that by writing these lists, I will be able to narrow the focus of my menu planning and figure out what's really important when preparing Sunday dinner for my family. And even if it doesn't work, it's certainly made me feel better-- at least for the moment.
LIST #1: My Favorite Sunday Dinner Foods
1. My father's country ham
2. Blue crabs (hand-cracked by me outdoors by the water at a newspaper-covered table)
3. Coconut cake with seven-minute frosting
4. Daniel's Chicken Mole
5. Spicy eggplant with pork from Yang Chow's
6. My mother's beef burgundy
7. Croissants with jam (especially marmalade)
8. Sweet pickles
9. Sand Dabs- pan friend and served with capers and beurre blanc
10. Chocolate covered candied orange peel
LIST #2: Top 10 Sunday Dinners That I Already Prepare
1. Spinach lasagna
2. Fish and chips
3. Spaghetti and meatballs (with lots of parmesan on the side)
4. Pizza
5. French Toast
6. Pancakes (or Waffles) with maple syrup and a side of bacon (and mimosas for adults)
7. Mac and cheese (this is really a kids' favorite)
8. Roast chicken and veggies
9. Sweet and Sour Meatballs with Rice
10. Fried chicken fingers (with dipping sauce for adults)
I'm a little disappointed to notice that my two lists don't have much in common. I'm not surprised, just disappointed. However, it does explain why I've been feeling so bored with everything I cook. It's not that I dislike any of my family's favorite meals. To be honest, there aren't many foods in this world that I actively dislike and I won't cook anything that I really hate. It's just that I wouldn't classify any of the foods I regularly prepare for Sunday dinner as my favorite foods. Except for bacon. I must admit that forgot bacon when I made my favorite food list. Obviously, I need to find a way to incorporate foods that EVERYONE in the family will enjoy, myself included.
So until the next post, I'll be working on ways to include more of my favorite foods into our family meal plan. I'll also be asking my family members to give me lists of THEIR favorite foods. If you want to get in on the action, send me your lists-- the good, the bad, and the ugly.
In the next installment of this thread... LIST #3: Foods I Think My Family Should Eat (or Eat More of…)

This is going to be a bit of a difficult post to write since I don't have the appropriate graphics tools (and I'm missing a scanner), but bear with me.
I've been using the Cornell Notes system over the last couple of days to help me write longer and more interesting pages in my lab notebooks. The part of me that holds frugality dear wants to use the $1.59 8x10 cheap big quadrille lab books whenever possible in preference to the $10 3x5 Moleskine, especially when I'm writing somewhere that space is not at a premium. I'm following pretty much the same principles that I did on an earlier try on this, using columns and layout to sequester data and metadata into its own place, and to be consistent enough in what I'm doing that I can find stuff again while not being so consistent that I feel hemmed in.
The style is as follows:
Top right corner: date, time, location, meal and cost if I'm out writing, weather if it's notable, any other quick reminder of where I was at the time. Many of these in the Moleskine list a bus route; most of the lab books give a coffee shop or "home". (there's useful metadata)
Right column (10%): just enough of a margin to write marginal notes in of anything that's distracting me at the moment, but not enough to get involved in it. That goes down 85% of the page. In a coffee shop it's where you'd write down overheard gossip.
Top: title of the page, for the index.
Left column (25%): leave it blank for now.
Bottom (15%): leave it blank for now.
Middle (65% wide, 85% tall including top title): enough room to capture a whole thought, at least three or four paragraphs of it, and if I get sufficiently distracted by anything I note in the right margin and move on.
Once the whole middle is full to the edges, only then do I go back and review it, see if it makes any sense, and start composing the left column. The whole left column gets questions, only questions - any questions that can easily be answered by what I've written in the middle, plus questions that arise from reflecting on it, and all other on-topic queries that arise. Usually the question writing goes very very fast, especially if the topic is interesting - I'll often create enough questions in the course of writing that part of the page that there's an easy start to a next page or two.
Finally once the top 85% is full, I go to the bottom and fill in a summary of the page. Note that this may be very different from the title topic - that's one frustration of titled pages in this or any system, you might divert in the process of writing. I still think it's good to know the title and topic before you start, but that right margin is really key to make sure that you have enough space to catch fleeting ideas.
For the 3x5 Moleskine, this is way harder. You have a lot less space, and the page fills up a lot more quickly. My habit in lab notebooks is to use the right page only (leaving the left for sketches); for the Moleskine I tried using the full right page for the essay + very thin right margin for marginalia, and then the right quarter of the facing page for questions. That still leaves most of a facing page for art, or for more questions layered on top of the first pass.
I'm pretty sure this could all be rendered in some kind of CSS layout - the default Typepad setup doesn't come anywhere near, since it has per-weblog layout but not customizable per-page marginalia. I made a quick change to the private wiki I use for notes to self to allow for a linked editable left and right margin, which seems pretty neat but which I don't have enough experience with yet to know whether it's a just a great weird idea or actually something worth re-implementing the "right way".
I promise - I've been promising - that this will all show up scanned in at some point.

Man Arrested in Tuesday Search Identified
The Stephens County Sheriff's Office has identified a man arrested after a search in Stephens County Tuesday.
Stephens County Sheriff Randy Shirley said the man authorities arrested on Tuesday was 36-year-old Justin Hixson of East Silver Shoals Road.
The sheriff said it started Tuesday when a Sheriff's Office deputy spotted Hixson driving while patrolling the area of Eastanollee Road and McCurley Road.
"One of my deputies positively spotted a suspect (Hixson) that we had been looking for for Franklin County for several days," said Shirley. "DNR had initially encountered him and (Hixson) ran away on foot. That was a couple of days ago."
Shirley said the deputy initiated a traffic stop on Hixson, who then fled into the woods while authorities pursued him.
"We set up a perimeter and called in K-9 bloodhounds to help in tracking him and as a result, we were able to push him even further into a wooded area," said Shirley.
Shirley said about three hours after the search started, deputies were dispatched to a residence on Sundown Farm Road.
He said a homeowner had reportedly located a male matching Hixson's description hiding in their barn.
"He approached a female and to his surprise, she was ready for him," said Shirley. "He got very close to her and at that time, she pulled her weapon and fired several shots in his direction. At that time, he turned around and ran."
Shirley said deputies and K-9 units from the Department of Corrections then picked Hixson's trail back up and found him shortly afterwards hiding under an embankment by a creek bed several hundred yards away from the barn.
The sheriff said Hixson faces charges of Obstruction of Law Enforcement Officer and Criminal Trespass right now.
Meanwhile, Franklin County Sheriff Stevie Thomas said Hixson was wanted there on a felony probation violation.
Shirley said his office is still investigating and more charges may be pending.

Alois Bell is these three things: A pastor at her local St. Louis church, an Applebee's customer and a reluctant tipper. And thanks to a waitress with attitude and a camera, the triad collided into a public firestorm that Ms. Bell says has ruined her reputation.
I've brought embarrassment to my church and ministry
Ms. Bell, it seems, resented that Applebee's automatically charged her more for gratuity than she tithes to her own church, writing on her receipt after a Jan. 25 dinner, "I give God 10%. Why do you get 18?"
Chelsea Welch, who did not serve Ms. Bell's group but saw the receipt, posted a picture of the bill to popular user-generated site, Reddit, earlier this week thinking the woman's signature was illegible. The scribble did, in fact, prove identifiable, and after the picture went viral, Ms. Bell told alternative site TheSmokingGun.com that she received a call…

Microsoft Gets A New Java License, Oracle Gets A Cloud Channel
Posted by
John R. Rymer
on June 25, 2013
Share on Facebook
Microsoft's cloud partnership with Oracle
gives the Redmond, WA giant a new license to distribute Java technology — something it hasn't had since 2004. With this license, Microsoft can finally offer Java as a preinstalled, first-class environment on Windows Azure as well as its Hyper-V virtualization software. Microsoft and Oracle announced their cloud partnership on June 24.
Developers can and do run Java applications on Azure, but strictly as a "bring your own" exercise; they were not able to get usage rights to and support for the technology from Microsoft. Without a license, Java would always be a second-class denizen of Windows Azure. Now enterprise customers can get the legal air cover they require for crucial technologies. As a result, we expect to see much wider usage of Windows Azure for a wider range of Java applications.
For both Microsoft and Oracle, life is about the enterprise. And Java is a foundation of enterprise applications. In Forrester's
Forrsights Developer Survey, Q1 2013
, Java support was a top-five reason to select a cloud platform. Enterprise C# developers will naturally come to Windows Azure, but Microsoft needed to attract the Java shops as well. The most popular cloud platform — Amazon Web Services — has no problem with Java; neither does Google. And in the real world, most large enterprises use both .NET and Java, so why should developers need different public clouds for each?

Which Cloud Platform Is Best?
Posted by

Share on Facebook
To evaluate public cloud platforms, you have to look at the breadth of cloud services developers use, which means including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Windows Azure, and salesforce.com's Heroku in the same comparison.
That's right — there's a mix of IaaS and PaaS products in our evaluation. Why? Our job is to help AD&D leaders select the right platform for their public cloud deployments. Developers seek utility where they can find it. Thus, the most widely used public cloud platform in our surveys is not a PaaS, but rather AWS, which is commonly labeled an IaaS.
Public cloud platforms unlock the flexibility, productivity, and economic advantages of cloud computing. Our just-published
Forrester Wave™ on enterprise public cloud platforms
evaluates the 14 leading providers of platforms for the enterprise. We included AWS, CloudBees, Cordys, Engine Yard, GoGrid, Google, IBM, Mendix, Microsoft, MioSoft, Rackspace, salesforce.com, SoftLayer, and Verizon Terremark in the evaluation.
In conducting this research, we learned that cloud platforms don't fit into neat product categories. AWS is much more than an IaaS; Microsoft and Google now provide both PaaS and IaaS products. This finding (
previewed in this blog
) is vital to helping AD&D leaders sort through a veritable explosion of new products labeled "PaaS".

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
When my grandmother passed away a few years ago, she named my father as the executor of her will. The will stipulates that the land she owned in TN is to be equally divided among her three children - my father and his two younger sisters. It says that IF they sell the land, the proceeds are to be divided among them equally. It doesn't have anything about what to do if they choose to keep the land.
Long story short, they've kept the land. For the first three years, there were funds in her estate to pay the land taxes at the end of the year. For the past two years, he's contacted each sister, and all three have paid one-third of the total amount of land tax. The land is sitting empty - there's not a structure of any type on it. Over a year ago, he began talking with them about selling the land as it's not serving any purpose to any of them. With three grandchildren in college, he wanted to give them his share of the proceeds to help pay their college expenses. Both sisters have balked, stating they want to build a house there 'someday.' BTW, these sisters are twins and are 67 years old. About three months ago, one sister divorced her husband and has since refused all calls from just about everyone she knew, including my father. He finally sent a letter to each sister at Christmas, requesting again that they buy out his third if they want to keep the land, or put it up for sale and split the profits equally. He has yet to hear from the recently divorced sister. The other sister finally answered his call, and proceeded to tell him he didn't 'deserve' to get anything because he didn't do anything to help their mother in the last years of her life. This is most definitely not true, but from a legal standpoint it doesn't matter. He is named as the executor, and her will clearly states if they sell it, they're all three to share equally in the profits.
My father has never had much of a 'normal' family relationship with his sisters, but he still hesitates to do anything that will effectively sever all family relations. My mother, on the other hand, is tired of having to deal with them. It isn't so much about the money, although the granddaughters can definitely use it, as it is about the principle of it and just dealing with the sisters.
My question is, can my father 'force' them to sell the land, or buy out his part? What are his options? I've told him that if he doesn't face it, it will fall to my mother to deal with them if he passed away, and if she didn't, then my brother and I would force the issue somehow. I haven't seen either aunt in over ten years; I know it sounds heartless but there's just never been a family bond on that side of the family. I've tried to get him to talk this over with our family lawyer, but I think he's afraid that once he starts down the road, he may not be able to turn back. I'd like to be able to tell him what his options are, and the possible consequences, other than the obvious personal ones. The land, the will and all the parties involved are in Tennessee, if that matters.
There maybe a major social problem but I fail to see a leg problem. The decision to sell does not seem to be up for a vote unless there is some real strange language in the will, absent will instructions to the contrary, the executor calls the shots and its his duty to serve the estate NOT any specif heirs' personal dreams.
So the executor confirms with counsel his powers under the will, and if I'm correct, he gets the property listed for sale in very near future. If one of the sibs wants it--let them put up hard cash and buy it in .
Irts not a love contest--but a business duty.
Now if as executor he unwisely deeded it out to the three of them, he lost his role as executor in charge of this....did he do this unwise move? Ouch!
Why is there still a probate going on three years later?
The executor likely should have deeded the land to the heirs and gotten himself out of it as executor. That terminates his power over anything.
Then he's just an owner with the sisters, and if any owner wants to sell he can bring an action for partition - a judicial sale of the property.
I'm sorry, maybe I used the wrong terms?? He was the executor of the will when it was probated at the time of her death. He oversaw paying off all her debts, and spent a couple of years dealing with the state highway department when they took part of the land to expand the highway. Everything in the will has been taken care of. The land is the only thing left. At the beginning, no one wanted to do anything. My father isn't interested in the land - it's residential, but not in a very good location and would require a lot of work to be usable. As I mentioned, the two sisters have talked from time to time about building a house on it and living there, but they're both nearly 70. One grandson talked about buying it for a shop a few years ago, but then did something else. So the land is just sitting there empty. The siblings have been paying the land tax each year to prevent it from returning to the state.
They could actually go on like that for some time, but to be honest, my father is tired of dealing with the sisters. They've mentioned a couple of times of buying his share, but when it gets down to specifics, they always back out. He was considering deeding it over to them just to be done with it. If he didn't have three granddaughters, and soon a grandson in college, he probably would have just to be free of it and them. Not that the money will pay for all of that, but it will certainly help. One sister finally contacted him this weekend. He told her that he wasn't going to do anything - not deed it over to them, nor try to sell it right now. If they want, they can buy his share at 1/3 of what the tax assessor has appraised it for. I believe they think it will automatically go to them when he passes, but he let them know he has a will covering all his properties, passing to his wife (my mother), then on to us at her death. I don't know that he'll be willing to force the sale if they still refuse to do anything. I just wanted to know what his options are. I can tell you that if it ever comes to it, my brother and I will do something to sell the land. There's never been a relationship with our father's family, so there's no relationship for us to end. Thanks for all your responses!
Your post is still short of 1 major detail! What does deed say?
1. Is the deed in the estate name ? If so the executor can very likely just sell the land and deliver to each the correct share.
2. Was the deed placed in the sibs names some time age by the executor? If so, Dad has about 4 choices.
A. Somebody in family buys somebody out.
B. Dad sells his interest to any willing outside buyer
C Dad forces a sale of the whole by court action called a partition---an expensive step .
D Dad sits and waits and sees how the screw turns--at least right now its not costing him cash out of
pocket to sit is it?
If he and the 2 sisters own equal shares he will need to file in court to force a partition. If they want to keep the land, they can buy him out. Otherwise it would be sold and the proceeds distributed.
I'm not sure if the actual deed is in the three siblings names, or still in her name, but that answers a lot. I'll follow up on that. Thanks so much for all your replies - they've definitely given me the information I need to talk this over with my father for a resolution.

Biomod/2011/TeamJapan/Sendai/Results/Atomic Force Microscope
From OpenWetWare
High-speed AFM
We used a high-speed AFM(RIBM, Nano Live Vision:NLV) for observation.
This high-speed AFM enables us to capture moving molecules in solution clearly without blurring.
So we can confirm not just the molecular robot, but also observe the molecular robot moving over the DNA origami field at video-rate.
The following figure below shows our observation flowchart.
Observation of 2D and 3D structures
Triangular prism 2D structure
First, we checked 2D nanostructures. The shape of 3D nanostructures resemble that of aggregation. On the other hand,the shape of 2D nanostructures are rectangle and differ from aggregation clearly. That is why 2D nanostructures are easier to observe than 3D ones. Therefore, before doing the annealing for getting the triangular prism, we verified the 2D structure. The size of 2D structure in AFM is 67 nm × 23 nm(Figure 1).
As compared to our design(60 nm × 20 nm), the maximum error is 15percent.From electoric rebounding between double helix, the size of 2D nanostrucutre fall within the error range. We can affirm 2D nanostructures since our original design (Figure 2) depicts similar dimensions (60 nm × 20 nm).
We observed leftover scaffold strand from the middle of 2D nanostructure(Figure 3).
We used M13mp18 for the sdaffold, though our robot only uses 1100 bases. That was the reason why the surplus M13 inhibit folding and moving of structure.
So, by restriction enzyme, we cut the surplus M13 in order to avoid unintended folding and interference when the robot moves on the Field during the race. After we cut the surplus M13,we also observed 2D structures made from cut M13(Figure 1). It proved that our experiment by restriction enzyme succeeded and we got 2D nanostructures using cut M13.
- Sample conditions:
・Concentration M13:staples (1:10)
・Mg2+ concentration 12.5 mM
・Annealing time: 3 hours from 90°C to 25°C
・Buffer: Tris-HCl
・cut M13
Triangular prism 3D structure
Figure 4 is our design of 3D structure and Figure 5 shows the 3D structure of triangular prism in AFM.
3D structure consists of the three DNA rectangular faces. (Figure 4).
As compared to the figure of 2D structures, there are some differences.
We can see the closed structure in figure 5.The closed structure was not observed in Figure 1.
This structure was formed by self-assembly using three edging staples. There are two sticky ends in both ends of the 2D structures.
We found that the shape of the structure seemed to be like triangle because three DNA rectangular faces were opened up and adsorbed on mica (Figure 5).
The reason of this phenomenon is that the 3D structure on mica was distorted and M13 linked to DNA rectangular faces were cut by AFM tip (Figure 6).
It seems that the 3D structures were not stable in the presence of the external force by AFM.
The length of the side is almost equal to the design.
We think that 3D structures are not distorted in the solution if there is no scratch by AFM.
Therefore, we conducted that the 3D structure is successfully self-assembled.
- Condition
・M13:staples= 1:10(ratio of concentration)
・Mg2+ concentration 12.5 mM
・anealing time:3 hours from 90°C to 25°C
・cut M13
Observation of the Field
Figure 7 is design of the Field. Figure 8 is AFM image of the Field.
According to this image, redundant M13 was also observed.
The size of the Field in AFM image is similar to that of design.
Therefore, we succeeded in observing the Field.
- Condition
・M13:staples= 1:10(ratio of concentration)
・Mg2+ concentration 12.5 mM
・anealing time:3 hours from 90°C to 25°C
Observation of structure on the Field
Triangular prism 2D structure on the Field
In the previous section, we concluded that the Field,2D and 3D structure were also observed by using the high-speed AFM.
In other words,we accomplished observing all the elements necessary for our race by using high-speed AFM.
So we move on to combine the 3D structure with the Field.
Luckily we obtained the image of the 2D structure attached to the Field using high-speed AFM.
In this sample, there ought to be only robots (2D structures which couldn't be folded and 3D structures ) but several fields were observed in this sample.
We suppose that the previous solution with origami fields remained on cantilever, then that solution was mixed with new one and adsorbed on mica.
We scanned this field with 2D structure about 10 times but the structure didn't go away. Next, we raised the scanning speed then the structure was gone.
The structure was detached from the Field because cantilever scratched the structure.
It seems that robots can be attached to the Field.
- Condition
・M13:staples= 1:10(ratio of concentration)
・Mg2+ concentration 12.5 mM
・Annealing time:3 hours from 90°C to 25°C
Condition for the robots to attach the Fields
We confirmed the 2D structure attached to the Field using high-speed AFM. However this observation is lacking in reproducibility.
In order to obtain reproducible observation, we need to optimize the condition for the robots to attach the Fields.
So we moved on to combine the robots with the Fields on various conditions.
Please click for more information!!
Flow chart of experiments to bind the robots and the Fields
We confirmed the robots and the Fields by using high-speed AFM.
In addition, luckily we observed the 2D robots attached onto the fields.
However, we have not obtained the reproducible observation of the robot on the field yet despite of our vigorous seek on the experimental condition .
But from the results of AFM we convince that the robots successfully combine with the fields, and we also have some solutions to solve this reproducibility
We believe that the robots will move on the fields once we succeeded the reproducible attachment on the field.; the simulation result clearly shows the realistic possibility of the successful movement after the attachment.

Chillest motherfuckin driver.
The driver poses with the burnt-out car.
At least they got out OK...damn.
I wonder if he bought a different car from the dealer, maybe something less incendiary...
This is the kinda shit I expect to see in a goddamn Wile E. Coyote cartoon, not in real life!
Who in their right mind pay £250 000 for a fucking car? For that money you can have a custom car built and tuned to outperform those vehicles. I've seen a Toyota Starlet outrun a Ferrari.
Lambos and ferraris are a waste of money anyway imo.
Go ahead and buy one, idc, but even if i had the money, I wouldn't get one.
And this is why Italian cars are best. They have soul, they have personality, and they're exciting even when they're just putzing along!
Money well spent 'far as I'm concerned.
Sure they may cost a bit, but what else can you expect?
You are completely unaware that those aspects you are describing can be achieved with lesser amounts of money but that's stupid in your opinion right?
It's their money. Who are you to tell them what to spend it on? If they want to modify some god-awful Toyota to go fast, let them. If they want to buy a Lamborghini, let them. It's not your money, why do you care?
Funnily enough the modified Toyota will be a heap of junk. It will only go fast in a straight line, it won't be reliable, it won't stop for shit, it will sound awful, and it's more likely to go up in a ball of flames than the Aventador that this thread was made about!
It's not the top speed so much as how it gets there. Getting pinned to the seat, hearing that monster engine literally scream, THAT is what buying a car like this is all about for gearheads that can afford them.
I'd hazard a guess that maybe one out of ten supercars ever breaks 110MPH. Most of them probably never even break 85, and there's quite a few that never run at all.
Some people want a to spend the time and money making a production car outrun a supercar.
And then some people want a supercar.
And then some people's supercars burn to the ground.
I know somewhere Top Gear is having a heart attack.
It's their money, let them buy what they want.
Some people want the whole package with a super car. The looks, the speed and the pedigree nature of the brand. It's an exclusive club some people want to be in. There is nothing wrong with modifying a cheaper car for performance and looks too, it's just not what some people want from a car
I honestly don't buy the concept that just because someone is good at moving money around in the stock market and learning how best to cut jobs and get bonuses in the business they run that they necessarily "earn" or deserve the wealth they accumulate.
Thread about car on fire turns into class war and socialism. Only on Facepunch...
It both looks and acts like an Nvidia card.
Cars aren't about numbers. Most people who can even afford a car like this can't even drive it above 200 km/h on a track.
Don't you have a dream car that costs more than those "DIY cars" like the starlet you said?
a Lamborghini is a luxury car
key word: luxury
unless you plan on becoming a professional racer, you don't buy a lambo for it's engine.
So....is violently going up in flames covered under the warranty?
And really a toyota? You couldn't say like a Subaru or something?
Well Shit.

A couple of reports this morning based on a leaked internal memo said PBS NewsHour was planning on shuttering its San Francisco bureau, and now Poynter is reporting that a spokesman for the show has confirmed the closure. The staff reductions include longtime correspondent Spencer Michels, a native of San Francisco and former news anchor for KQED.
The show is also closing its Denver office and letting go of employees in its Washington, D.C. office.
The changes will take effect July 1.
From TVNewser's report:
This difficult step comes after more than a year spent reviewing how the 'NewsHour' functions, and determining the streamlining necessary to address both the funding challenges (primarily a steady drop in corporate revenue) and the opportunities presented by new technologies," wrote "NewsHour" EP Linda Winslow and MacNeil/Lehrer president Bo Jones in the memo to staff.
Here at News Fix, we've enjoyed working with Spencer Michels a couple of times, and we particularly got a kick out of a post he did for us in January about one of the psychological motivations driving Jerry Brown, at least as speculated on by some journalists.

As far as I can tell, the subfloor was not glued to the I-joists and shifts when the joists deflect, causing the noise.

Filipino world champion Johnriel Casimero arrived Tuesday in Mazatlan, Sinaloa to defend his IBF light flyweight championship for the first time against Mexican challenger Pedro Guevara on Saturday at the Mazatlan Convention Center on an event presented by Promociones del Pueblo, Box Latino, HG Boxing and Sampson Boxing LLC. "Guevara is a hard and fast opponent. It'll be a good fight and I feel safe here because I know that in Mexico they respect the fighters," said Casimero referring to the February incident in Mar del Plata, Argentina, when rioters stormed the ring and attacked Casimero and his team after he dethroned Luis Lazarte.

Where Are They Now: The Guys From 90s Boy Bands
We're still all about boy bands and their 90s music, but sometimes we wonder what all those (now men) are up to these days. Read on to see if our dreamboats are still succeeding, and click here to learn more about what Jordan Knight has been up to.
1. NKOTB's Jordan Knight
Knight released a new solo album, titled "Unfinished." And while he's spending the summer touring South America with the NKOTB, he's also reading the Old Navy Catalog to each and every one of us.
2. 'NSYNC's Justin Timberlake
He's currently filming "Runner, Runner" (starring Gemma Arterton and Ben Affleck), and getting ready to promote "Trouble with the Curve" (starring Clint Eastwood and Amy Adams) when it is released later this year.
3. NKOTB's Donnie Wahlberg
He's got a pretty steady gig on CBS' "Blue Bloods," which was just renewed for a third season. But until shooting begins, he's wearing sparkly hats and belts in South America with the NKOTB.
4. Boyz II Men
For Valentine's Day last year, the Boyz II Men sponsored a Love Cruise, where couples were treated to a weekend aboard a ship that traveled from Miami to Nassau, Bahamas. Passengers got to meet the group, take pictures with them, and even renew their wedding vows. They are touring together through the end of the year.
5. NKOTB's Joey McIntyre
After appearing as "Groom Rory" in 2011's "New Year's Eve," Joey is letting loose in South America with the rest of his friends.
6. 'NSYNC's JC Chasez
JC is a judge on "America's Best Dance Crew," and he's wrapping up production on "Red Sky" (starring Shane West, Cam Gigandet and Rachel Leigh Cook). Additionally, he announced earlier this year he's planning to form an all girl group of singers, who are between the ages of 18 and 24.
7. 98°'s Nick Lachey
After divorcing Jessica Simpson, Nick met and married Vanessa Minnillo, and they're now expecting their first child. Additionally, he's signed on to become a contestant on the NBC reality show, "Stars Earn Stripes," where celebrities compete against each other in challenges that are inspired by real military drills.
8. 'NSYNC's Lance Bass
He's promoting his new documentary film, "Mississippi I Am," which is about the clash between religion and homosexuality in his home state.
9. 98°'s Drew Lachey
After 98°, Drew Lachey appeared in the Broadway musical, "Rent," in 2005. In 2006, he and his partner Cheryl Burke were crowned the champions of the second season of "Dancing With The Stars." He then returned to Broadway and did "Spamalot" in 2008, and is now happily married with two children.
LFO went on hiatus in 2003 so the members could work on individual projects. But in 2009, the group announced they were planning to reunite in a tour that would begin on September 23rd, 2009. But just 5 days later, they revealed on their YouTube page that they had broken up. A year later, Rich Cronin (L) passed away at the age of 36 after suffering a stroke and battling leukemia.
11. The Backstreet Boys
After Nick Carter rocked his cameo on the CW's "90210," he's now gearing up for the the BSBBQ with the rest of the gang at Hersey Stadium in Pennsylvania in August.
12. Hanson
After releasing their eighth studio album, "Shout It Out," in 2010, they went on a tour from July through November. They took a break and then started touring again in September of 2011, and were recently seen this year on the road in Canada with Carly Rae Jepsen.
13. 5ive
5ive broke up in September of 2001 and the guys went their separate ways. However, they rallied together again to audition in March of 2012 on "The Voice UK," but they didn't get past the first round. At that point, they discussed reuniting as a group. Jason Brown © then backed out a month later, but the remaining four guys (Abs Breen, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson and Sean Conlon) are planning to continue on without him and are planning a tour with new material.
14. BBMak
BBMak broke up in 2003, and Mark Barry, Christian Burns and Stephen McNally all focused on developing solo careers. McNally ® formed a new group called The Bleach Works, and Christian Burns © auditioned in the fourth season of "The X Factor." He went on to join the band, 10 Reasons To Live, and Barry (L) works as a personal trainer in Lancashire when he's not writing his own songs.

The Focus has been out for almost a year now so I would appreciate any feedback. The last thing I want to do is sign up for a 3-4 year lease only to be dissatisfied with the car. I drive all day as I'm a rep. on the road so I really don't want to have to be dealing with problems by going to the dealership all the time.
Most of us love the DCT Powershift transmission and have had no problems with it.
As far as the MFT is concerned there is a software update coming out soon. If you are still concerned, wait a month of two and then try out a recently built Focus. Since your lease is up this summer, the wait should work really well for you.
We own a Titanium hatch built last August and there have really been no serious disappointments. We use MFT for Nav, phone, Sirius, etc. and have experienced no lock ups by the software. We think it is a great little car.

Drinking a single cup of coffee daily may lower your risk of developing skin cancer. In one study of more than 93,000 women, published in the European Journal of Cancer Prevention, those who drank one cup of caffeinated coffee a day reduced their risk of developing nonmelanoma skin cancer by about 10 percent. And the more they drank—up to about 6 cups or so per day—the lower their risk. Decaf didn't seem to offer the same protection.
