Like the Mazda 3 and Volkswagen Golf, the Focus handles better than other compact cars. Its electric steering is weighted well (although it doesn't offer much feel for the road), and its sophisticated suspension is quite firm but doesn't crash over large bumps; ride comfort is impressive. If crisp steering and agile handling are your main priority, the Focus is a good choice. However the shift quality of Ford's PowerShift 6-speed dual-clutch automatic manual transmission is a letdown. So you're left with a 5-speed manual.
The base 2.0-liter engine with 160 horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque has adequate acceleration, and the 6-speed dual clutch does a good job of keeping the revs up when you need them, but it doesn't shift smoothly at low speeds.
We haven't driven the 1.0-liter in the Focus, although we have in the lighter Fiesta. It makes 123 horsepower and an overachieving 148 pound-feet of torque at just 1400 rpm, to provide get-up-and-go from stoplights. It's mated to either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.
The S and SE models use drum brakes in the rear, while most rivals have four-wheel discs. The Sport package for the SE brings a touring suspension, 17-inch black gloss aluminum wheels, H-rated tires, and paddleshifters for the PowerShift twin-clutch transmission.
The ST, with its 240-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter engine and 6-speed manual gearbox, is whole different animal than the S and SE, and definitely a hoot to drive. It is very well engineered and integrated, with driving dynamics that are arguable smoother than the Mazdaspeed3 or Subaru WRX STI. It uses a quick, variable-ratio steering rack, a suspension lowered by four-tenths of an inch, and rear dampers with widened mounting points.
The Focus RS is highly focused, and relatively expensive. Its 350 horsepower is extreme for a car this size. It's got all the stuff to back it up, including full-time all-wheel drive with dynamic torque vectoring, a beefy 6-speed gearbox, big brakes, tuned exhaust and suspension modes including Track and Drift. As an everyday driver, the ride is stiff and unyielding, it turns quickly for the street, and the torque steer is a handful to manage when you get on the gas. It's quite the toy if burning through rubber and getting tickets is your thing, but that is its only fit in the real world of transportation.
The Focus is more handsome as a hatchback than sedan. Some see its shape as too swoopy, but at least its creases and curves contrast nicely with the big-mouthed grille. The rising window line adds drama, and the huge taillamps nicely frame the corners.
Focus ST and Focus RS are restrained, even with a lower stance, bigger wheels and lower bodywork. However there's nothing restrained about the basket of logos stuck to the sheetmetal.
The overstyled Focus cabin used to feel sleek, but since the Honda Civic has re-invented compact car interiors, it feels dated. The standard info screen is just 4.2 inches. The vertical vents and pleasant sculpting are complex and original, which is nice in a crowded class of look-alikes, but the design makes the front feel cramped, and it uses a lot of plastic. Still, the seats and door trim are nicely tailored, especially in the Titanium, with its satin chrome.
Even in the S and SE models, the front seats are fairly supportive. The plusher Titanium seats offer good thigh and back support, and a bit more bolstering. The optional Recaro seats in the ST and RS are very snug, and don't work with all heights.
The back seat is skimpy, with slim headroom and legroom. And with small door openings, ingress and egress is awkward. The hatchback is better than the sedan. The release to fold the rear seat can't be reached through the hatch, and the headrests have to be removed to get the seatbacks all the way down.
The optional Sync 3 infotainment system is slicker and much improved over the previous unpopular MyFord Touch system. Sync 3 has a fully capacitive screen with pinching and swiping capability, a streamlined menu structure, smart-charging USB ports, and AppLink capability for on-screen operation of various smartphone apps. But Sync 3 also has issues. Response to the buttons is slow, and we had trouble switching between day and night modes on the touchscreen.
Forward visibility is good for a compact car, but rearward visibility can be tough. However, with a standard rearview camera, at least that isn't an issue when the car is in reverse.
Interior noise is typical for this class, as coarse road surfaces intrude into the cabin.
Swoopy styling with a dated interior. Good as the Focus otherwise is, we're inclined to say Ford's PowerShift twin-clutch automatic manual transmission is a dealbreaker, unless you go for the thrifty and peppy 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine. The Focus ST, in its sport hatchback class, is a different story. We like and recommend it, with its 6-speed manual gearbox and competitive price.
Sam Moses contributed to this report.
The 2017 Ford Focus S ($16,775) is reasonably well equipped, with power windows/locks/mirrors, air conditioning, Bluetooth, AM/FM/CD, adjustable steering wheel with controls, and rearview camera. The torque-vectoring system also comes standard on the front-wheel drive. (Prices are MSRP and do not include destination charge.)
It's a big jump up to the Focus SE hatchback ($19,765), which adds larger 16-inch steel wheels, cruise control, fog lamps, and Ford's MyKey system. Options include leather, a power driver seat, rear disc brakes, rear parking sensors, a sport package, a moonroof, navigation, heated seats, satellite radio, and Sony audio. There's also an available Sport package.
Focus SEL hatchback ($21,675) gets 17-inch wheels, rear disc brakes, a moonroof, ambient lighting, rear parking sensors, and the Sync 3 infotainment system.
The Focus Titanium ($24,075) gets dual-zone climate control, leather, Sony audio, HD and satellite radio, sport suspension, sport seats, and summer performance tires on sport wheels. Options include automatic parking assistance (parks itself, using cameras).
The high-performance Focus ST ($24,775) and Focus RS ($36,120), in addition to their speed upgrades, get styling kits and 18- or 19-inch wheels. Options include navigation, Recaro seats, and a carbon-fiber accent package.
Available safety equipment on higher models includes blind-spot monitors and lane-keeping assists. There are no available forward-collision or automatic-braking systems.

I don't let the press pigeon hole my music career into any specific genre. I've created all sorts of electronic music ranging all the way from minimal to hardcore. About 90% of my music has my own vocals on it and I like to feel I have my own style whatever the tempo or loudness of the kick drum. In fact, if you've been making electronic dance records for more than five years it's almost certain you also genre jumped to stay relevant. Some people think its a difficult thing to get accepted in a new group or scene but I know the trick: Make great music!
Another good reason to learn how to make a song that fits in another genre is you that become a better producer. Many genre's rely on certain production techniques or styles. For minimal you better know how to use swing effectively. For EBM get a hardware sequencer and set it to 6 steps. You want to make Ed Banger style tracks? You better learn how to sidechain. Trance? An arpeggiator is your best friend. As time goes on you will use all these techniques together. I would go as far as saying that when new technology is released to the masses new music genres are formed around them.
So besides learning new things you also open yourself up to more people. If your only making swedish black metal your fan base will maybe only ever be 10,000. You also get to work with more producers. My latest release Gigabytes Numbers was remixed by Tony Rohr. He's a top producer who I would have never met if I didn't let Miro convince me to try out some minimal stuff. I want to be the band that sounds like The Horrorist.

Scar Symmetry Interview By Crozzy and A_C
1). How did you meet each other for the first time and decide to start this band
It all started in early 2004 when Jonas got the urge to form a melodic death metal band. I was recording in his studio with a band called Altered Aeon at the time and Jonas asked me one day during the recordings if I was interested in joining this new band he was forming. I accepted and told Jonas that using Altered Aeon`s rhythm/solo guitarist Per as a second guitarist would be a good idea, and he was all for it. Then Jonas recruited a friend of his, Kenneth, on bass. The last guy to join the line-up was Christian who had recorded in Jonas? studio before with other bands, Jonas called him and asked him if he wanted the vocal spot. When everyone agreed to participate in this band we met each other for the first time and took some photos, so the band existed for a couple months before all of us actually met in real life!
2.) Which bands would you say have influenced you the most?
That`s hard to answer because we all have different influences. I would say we`re influenced by the metal scene as a whole and we`re also trying to bring in other elements in our music, like progressive stuff and some mainstream ideas that makes our musical concept pretty unlimited.
3.) How do you guys come up with such strong and meaningful song lyrics?
I am honoured that you think my lyrics are strong and meaningful, thanks! I write about things that interest me and I try to be as original and awe-inspiring as possible when writing my lyrics, so that others can feed off my passion for the subjects I write about. I`ve been writing lyrics for every band I`ve played with since 1990 and it`s a skill I`ve tried to perfect to the best of my abilities through the years. How do I come up with these lyrics? I read books about subjects that interest me and add that information with the Akasha-library in my head, through that synergy my lyrics are born.
4.) What is your take on the current death metal scene?
It`s pretty healthy, I think. Death metal has become such a wide form of music now and you can see a large following on every front. Both the ultra-brutal side and the more melodic side of death metal is doing very well, in my opinion. The underground demo-movement from the early 90`s is still going strong, it`s just that everything has moved to the Internet and that`s just a logical step in the evolution of the scene.
5.) How does Christian Älvestam transcend from the beautiful vocals to the thundering death growls ?
He pulls that mental switch in his head, going from the emotional, meditative side of his personality to his more animalistic, destructive persona. Not an easy thing to do, but his vocal chords were built to go through that metamorphosis and he can vocalize that transformation in a very convincing way.
6.) What is the main difference with your new album Pitch Black Progress compared to your 1st album?
This album has all the key ingredients from the first album but we took it all one step further. Some experimental elements can be heard on Pitch Black Progress, stuff that we didn`t do to the same extent on the first album. We fooled around with song structures on some songs and we also experimented a lot with the clean vocals. I think we managed to get a good variety from song to song, everything from really mellow stuff to all-out death metal mayhem. The first album had a more linear musical concept, in my opinion.
7.) When are you coming to the U.S.?
It will happen sooner or later and I think it`s likely to happen during the first half of 2007.
8.) Who would you guys love to tour with?
I think everyone in the band has different answers to that question, I would probably say KISS. That was the first band I really liked and they inspired me to play music, touring with them would be unreal. In a positive way.
9.)Do you guys work anywhere besides the band?
Yeah, we all have day-jobs, because we`re not making any money out of Scar Symmetry at this point. I work at a steel factory, producing steel-wire. Kenneth is both a gardener and a music-teacher. Per takes care of elderly people and he is teaching guitar from time to time too. Jonas has his studio and he is also a music teacher! Christian is working as a nurse.
10.) Is there any side projects any of the band members have been working on?
Yeah, we have lots of other bands! I`m in a band called Altered Aeon as I mentioned earlier, and I play with Per in yet another band called Paradigm Shift. Per is also active with a Zappa-cover band called The Homozappians. Christian has a bunch of bands, Incapacity, Torchbearer, Quest of Aidance, Miseration and Unmoored among other projects. Kenneth plays in a band called Soul Royal. Jonas has his doom-band World Below and a new band called Savagebeast. He also plays in Quest Of Aidance now. And these are just the bands we`re active with right now, we have played in so many bands through the years that we can barely remember them all anymore
11.) If you knew you have influenced a young persons life, what would you think/say?
It depends in what way I would have influenced him/her. If it was in a positive way I would consider it to be a positive thing, thinking/speaking positively about it. If it was in a negative way I would consider it negative, thus thinking/speaking about it in negative terms.
12.) Since you are going to play both ProgPower Europe and ProgPower UK in the next few months, do they want to play ProgPowerUSA
I don`t know, we were approached by both of those Progpower fests separately so I guess each fest work individually when they arrange their events.
13.) Is there anything else you would like to add to the interview?
Thanks to all the American fans, we have been overwhelmed by the number of Americans that are into Scar Symmetry! Keep checking our website for the latest news and take care out there!
Playing at Ozzfest would be very cool indeed!
This interview was taken care of by Henrik Ohlsson (drums).

It didn't look like things could get much worse for the Lakers, not with the way this season has unfolded. Just months ago, we were looking to LA as the next best hope to derail the Heat from their quest to win multiple championships, and now, there is only dark comedy. Unless you're coach Mike D'Antoni. Then, it's just plain dark.
As D'Antoni paraphrased the other day, "When you're going through hell, you put your head down and keep going, and that's what we're going to do."
Hellish might be a bit extreme in the search for descriptions of this year for the Lakers. But then again, maybe not. D'Antoni's many problems as the coach of a healthy Lakers group are now made all the more acute by the fact that the Lakers are not healthy. Center Dwight Howard is, according to the team, suffering from a torn labrum, though Howard himself complained that, no, the injury isn't a torn labrum and will only take a week to heal. Power forward Pau Gasol is out after suffering a concussion. And backup Jordan Hill has a minor hip injury.
On Tuesday in Houston, D'Antoni had to fill out a starting lineup sheet that began with Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant, but went then to Metta World Peace as the power forward, Darius Morris as the shooting guard and Robert Sacre as the center. Sacre, in case you don't know (and it's likely you don't), is a rookie chosen with the final pick in last year's draft, a guy better known for his bench enthusiasm than any sort of on-court accomplishment. That remained true even after his first career start against the Rockets—despite 10 points and four blocks, Sacre was so out of whack as a starter that Lakers fans were pining for the days of Chris Mihm.
MORE: Phil doesn't plan to coach | Superman's now a misfit | Lakers struggles in numbers
In the end, the Rockets' offense—the most prolific in the league—won the night, leading to a 125-112 victory, as Houston made 55.2 percent of its shots from the field. But the story, as ever, remains the foibles of the purple-and-gold, which now has the pleasure of following this loss with a game in San Antonio on Wednesday.
It did look like there could be some hope for the Lakers in this one. Playing shorthanded, they came out of the gates with remarkable energy, and built a 14-point lead. Of course, the last time the Lakers were in Houston, they led by 13 points in the fourth quarter and came from ahead to earn a 107-105 loss (which was memorialized by radio broadcaster Craig Ackerman's colorful suggestion that the Lakers had, "pooped their big-boy pants."). It came as little surprise, then, that the Rockets were able to dominate the third quarter—thanks to an 18-2 run—mostly by letting guards James Harden (31 points) and Jeremy Lin (19) take repeated runs at the basket, easily exposing the lack of size when Sacre was out of the game, and just as easily exposing Sacre when he was in.
This had the potential to be a character-building jaunt to Texas for the Lakers. With all that they've already put themselves through this year, the loss of Gasol, Howard and Hill, even if temporary, might have been cause to get this team refocused. For a few moments, at least, things were playing out that way. But the Lakers returned to form, coughing up the lead before keeping things close until Bryant (2-for-9 in the fourth quarter) shot the team out of any hope for a comeback in the end.
Another hell night for the Lakers. And nothing else to do but keep going.

MIAMI (AP) -- LeBron James scored 26 points, including a go-ahead layup with 3.2 seconds left, and the Miami Heat scrambled late to beat the Orlando Magic 97-96 on Wednesday night and extend their franchise-record winning streak to 16 games.
Dwyane Wade scored 24 points and Chris Bosh added 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Heat, who blew a 20-point, second-half lead and then rallied from a five-point deficit in the final minutes.
Nic Vucevic had 25 points and 21 rebounds for the Magic, who got 16 points apiece from Jameer Nelson and Tobias Harris, 13 from Arron Afflalo and 12 from Maurice Harkless.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Kevin Garnett found Jeff Green all alone under the basket for a layup with 0.5 seconds remaining to finish off a fourth-quarter comeback from 14 points down, giving Boston the victory over Indiana.
Garnett led the Celtics with 18 points and 10 rebounds and dragged Boston back after it trailed most of the final three quarters. Green had 11 points off the bench.
Paul George scored 16 points for the Pacers, who had all five starters in double figures. David West added 11 points and 16 rebounds, and George Hill finished with 14 points.
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Kyrie Irving scored 20 points and made all the big plays down the stretch, rallying Cleveland to the victory over Utah.
The Cavs trailed 100-92 with less than three minutes left before Irving took over. He scored eight points, made a steal and assisted on Wayne Ellington's dunk as Cleveland stormed back to stun the Jazz.
Irving added 10 assists in his second game back after missing three with a hyperextended knee. Tristan Thompson had 16 points and 12 rebounds for Cleveland, which trailed by 12 in the fourth.
Gordon Hayward scored 25 and Enes Kanter had 17 for the Jazz, who have lost five of six.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Deron Williams had 20 points and eight assists, Joe Johnson added 22 points, and Brooklyn got a needed win after losing two straight and four of its last five.
The Nets trailed by 10 at the half, but opened the third quarter with a 21-6 run led by Williams and Johnson, and never looked back. The Bobcats managed just nine points in the third quarter on 3-of-19 shooting and were outscored 56-25 in the second half to lose their eighth straight game.
Reggie Evans grabbed 16 rebounds and Brook Lopez had 16 points and five rebounds for the Nets.
Rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had 17 points and Ben Gordon added 16 for the Bobcats, who are 6-43 since starting the season 7-5.
ATLANTA (AP) -- Jeff Teague scored 27 points, Anthony Tolliver added a season-high 21 and Atlanta bounced back from a sluggish start to snap a three-game losing streak.
Tolliver, averaging just 3.4 points a game, had already surpassed his previous best of 13 points by halftime. The Sixers kept leaving him open beyond the arc, and he kept knocking down 3-pointers, finishing 5 for 7 from long range.
The Hawks missed their first eight shots but quickly pulled themselves together against weary Philadelphia, which was playing its eighth game in 12 days. Atlanta led by 19 before settling for a 59-47 lead at halftime.
Damien Wilkins led the Sixers with 21 points and Dorell Wright had 20.

"Speakerphone," X
Kylie's always embraced her sex appeal in hits like "Slow" but for our money 2007's "Speakerphone" is one of the hottest songs she's ever released
Love her. After Madge she's prob my 2nd fav female dance artist. How she hasn't had GaGa size success in the US is beyond me. She's a great live performer, constantly delivers ear candy singles and actually sounds just as good live as she does in the studio
What about "The One" from X fantastic deco style. LOVE KYLIE
Epic die hard Kylie fan here. I can tell you this list is wrong. Two of the songs don't even HAVE videos at all…
Misquote on 'Your Disco Needs You'- it should read: "…you're a slave to the rhythm, do your part, cure a lonely heart".
The title states fave videos, but it seems like they're listing fave songs. Slow should've been on the list for the eye candy and sensuality alone. "Did it Again" should be on the list as a great video, even if the song was only OK. And even though "Love at First Sight" is one of my fave songs, I must admit the video doesn't deserve mention as something great.
Can't say I like her voice much. Then again, I don't dance. I'm sure it's great dance music.
Well, one of my favorite music videos is "Slow" it's pretty sexy…
I personally always liked Dannii's video's better.
most of her oeuvre is fun and throwaway like all best pop music is, "better the devil" being pretty near perfection in this regard; but it's the videos where she, or her people, really bring the magic.
re-watching, i feel many of them, from the 2000's, have dated quite a bit.
my favourite kylie track, "confide in me", has the rare distinction of also being quite decent. and for pop, a bit dark and spiky (well, for kylie!) and the video, back in the day, was sick.
and, of course, "can't get you out of my head" is a pop masterpiece(ish), but 've never watched the video cuz i have my own one in my head which is much better.
also, "german bold italic" video is, err…. wonderfully bonkers.
'Did it Again' is one of her best, 4 Kylie's in a police line up, then they all fight. It's great – cute Kylie, sex Kylie, indie Kylie, all fighting! The song is kinda blah, but the video is awesome.
Finally, a post about my lovely Kylie that isn't slandering her wonderful name! I feel special to be Australian for many reasons, but she's one of my strongest! I only wish more guys my age would like her (17).
Ah well, she will always be mine! :D
How is "Confide in Me" not on here? Raging!
Wait, where's the absolutely delightful mindfuck that is "Come Into My World" music video?
I still remember back in 94, before the net and Kylie had left the bubble gum of SAW behind, I was watching Rage when this new track came on, it sounded graet so I recorded it, next thing I know it comes up with Kylie – Confide in Me. I wil always remember the new amazing sound and video. Number 1 for 5 weeks in Oz.
@Missing one….: YES! Was just about to say that one deserves a place on the list!
Where's "Come Into My World", one of the coolest videos ever?!
'I Believe in You' anyone? Anyone?
How could "Confide in Me" be ignored?
Is she still trying to break into the U.S. market? She really doesn't give up. Good for her.
How on earth is this a selection of "Kylie's top ten videos" when:
1) two of these songs don't even have videos
2) the justification written for each selection describes the song, and not the video
Case-in-point: selection #6, Speakerphone, never had a video, and Queerty meagerly offers that "It's one of Kylie's hottest songs ever". Um, okay, great…but what does that have to do with it being chosen as a "top video"??
Sorry, Queerty…you get a major "Fail!" on this one. Next time, try not to be so lazy.
Better The Devil You Know – This video was out a good six months before Truth or Dare, but came out around the same time as Madonna's Vogue video.

More hereI have some wonderful news today: our new SuttaCentral is finally live!
You can see it here at: http://suttacentral.net/
We have been working very hard on this for some time now, and are very happy with the results so far. I will be writing on various aspects of this project in the coming weeks, so for now let me just introduce a few of our main features.

CHARLOTTE—Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller was stalking Carolina quarterback Cam Newton on the Panthers' opening drive Sunday, waiting for the perfect moment to ambush the only player taken ahead of him in the 2011 draft.
On third and 4 from his own 44-yard line, Newton was flushed out of the pocket to his left. From a full 10 yards away, Miller saw his opportunity and sprinted at full speed toward Newton, closing the gap in an instant. Newton tried to do what Newton is very good at doing—elude the oncoming would-be tackler—but Miller wasn't about to be denied.
MORE: Broncos vs. Panthers recap | Statistics | Video highlights
This was his moment, not Cam Newton's moment.
Miller quickly wrapped up and took down the 6-5, 245-pound quarterback, then stood up and brazenly stole Newton's signature Superman celebration move. The 6-3, 237-pounder reveled in the moment. "I had it planned. I talked about it all week," he said. "I never talk about something like that because if you don't get it done, it's always worse. But it's good to talk about something like that and get it done so quick in the game."
That was the first of seven sacks for the Broncos, who never really were challenged after they took a second quarter lead in a game they eventually would win 36-14.
"I don't know what got into (Miller) today, but he was all over the place," Denver cornerback Champ Bailey said with a laugh. "The guy's a tremendous talent, and he really did set the tone with that sack. Once you get to Cam, it's kind of hard to then get him down. But he let everybody know we can get him."
Just about everybody did get to Newton—defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson had a pair of sacks, and cornerback Chris Harris, defensive end Robert Ayers, safety Mike Adams and defensive end Elvis Dumervil each added one. Newton, at times, made it easy with his propensity to hold on to the ball way too long.
"Our defense was outstanding today," Denver quarterback Peyton Manning said. "It was fun to watch, to see our D-line get up the field and to see our guys cover."
But the story of the game was unquestionably Miller, who lived in the Carolina backfield the entire game. "He was an impactful player today," Newton said. "That's no secret."
The No. 2 overall draft pick in 2011 out of Texas A&M—he was the NFL's defensive rookie of the year and a Pro Bowl starter—had four tackles for loss and a forced fumble; that opening-drive sack was Miller's 10th of the season.
"He's a dynamic guy," Denver coach John Fox said. "I think this meant something to him. I think sometimes, where you are in the draft sometimes motivates guys. … He definitely came to play today, that's for sure."
Miller beat often-helpless Carolina blockers with his strength and he beat them with his speed—he juked tight end Greg Olsen with a quick first step and hit Jonathan Stewart in the backfield to force a fumble in the fourth quarter—and he beat them with great planning from the Denver coaching staff.
It didn't really seem to matter what the Panthers did to try to stop him.
"They rushed him off the edge. He came up and under a couple times with his moves. They rushed him inside as well," Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. "And they blitzed. They blitzed an extra guy outside of him, so it changed the way we had to protect against it. He is a special player. Sometimes it's the guys with the individual abilities that stand out, and that is what happened today."
That's pretty much how Fox saw it playing out. "To be real honest with you, I kind of like Von Miller matched up on anybody," said Fox, who was the Panthers' head coach for nine seasons before being let go after the 2010 season. "So I won't be critical of how they tried to do it. A lot of people try different things. He's pretty special."

Scripps Health said Thursday that a decision by Blue Shield of California to stop covering proton beam therapy for prostate cancer will not challenge the financial viability of a new $230 million proton therapy center set to open in October.
On Thursday, Blue Shield confirmed that it has notified doctors that it will stop paying for the treatment on Oct. 28. The insurance company cited cost effectiveness as the main reason.
In recent years, several research papers have questioned the utility and cost effectiveness of proton treatment, which uses a 90-ton cyclotron to shoot charged particles into cancerous tumors. The studies have found that, in general, a cheaper technology that uses converged X-ray beams instead of a beam of protons is just as effective at killing tumors and is much less expensive.
One study published in late 2012 by Yale University found that Medicare paid $32,000 for proton treatment compared to only $19,000 for the equivalent X-ray-based treatment.
Scripps announced in 2010 that it would be the first health system in the region, and one of 12 in the nation, to offer proton therapy, which it billed as offering a new range of options for San Diego County residents. It partnered with a private company, San Diego-based Advanced Particle Therapy, to build the facility on a seven-acre plot in Mira Mesa. UC San Diego Health System briefly considered building its own proton accelerator but downsized its plans in 2012.
Dr. Carl Rossi, medical director of the Scripps Proton Therapy Center, said prostate treatments are expected to make up about 40 percent of the center's patient volume, which is expected eventually to hit 2,400 per year.
He agreed that X-ray-based technology kills tumors just as dead as protons do. But he said the latest studies fail to take into account that proton technology does much less damage to surrounding tissue. That damage, he said, causes an increased risk of additional cancers in tissue that radiation passes through.
"It's quite clear that the biggest factor in getting a second cancer from radiation is not just the dose (strength) but also the amount of tissue that ends up getting treated," Rossi said.
He said proton therapy is useful in treating tumors in other organs, including the breast, lung and pancreas, adding that, in some cases, using proton instead of X-rays can be cheaper because fewer sessions are required.
But some aren't buying that explanation and are citing huge investments in proton technology as a prime example of the arms race in health care that is pushing the cost of treatment ever higher, often without better efficacy for the patient.
In a Los Angeles Times story Thursday, Cary Gross, a researcher at the Yale School of Medicine called proton "the perfect example of all that is wrong with our health care system."
"The rush to adopt proton beam is far outpacing the amount of evidence to support its use," he said.
Rossi said that Scripps plans to consider all technologies on a case-by-case basis and make a recommendation to patients based on whether X-ray offers a 10 percent or less chance of injury to surrounding organs.
"We'll discuss the pros and cons with each patient. What's the pro of proton? It will treat less tissue. What's the con? It will probably cost more," Rossi said.
Chris Van Gorder, Scripps' chief executive, said the project is not likely to become a financial burden for the health system. It is fully funded by Advanced Particle Therapy; Scripps will simply run the center, he said.
For the Record: A previous version of this story conflated linear accelerators and cyclotrons which are different types of technology used to accelerate charged particles. We apologize.

Power of Pink Roundup
First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for participating in this event. Breast Cancer Awareness means a lot to me and my family.
I recently signed up for the Army of Women. This group allows you to participate in Breast Cancer Research. Basically, when studies come up, you will receive an email detailing the study and requirements for participants. If you're interested, you respond to the email. If not, you can forward it to friends or family members or just delete it. There is not obligation but it can provide a concrete way to participate in Breast Cancer Research. Check out their FAQ site for more information.
As promised here are some common myths about Breast Cancer (from Women's Health on about.com).
Myth: I'm too young to worry about breast cancer.
Fact: While it's true that your breast cancer risk increases as you get older, the fact is that women of all ages are at risk for developing breast cancer.
Myth: There's never been a case of breast cancer in my family so I don't need to worry about it happening to me.
Fact: The truth is the majority of women diagnosed with breast cancer don't have a family history of this devastating cancer. However, if your mother, sister, or grandmother ever had breast cancer your risk is significantly increased.
Myth: I don't have a mutated BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene so I'm sure breast cancer is not in my future.
Fact: Don't fool yourself! Not having a mutated BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene does not mean you won't get breast cancer. Actually, the truth is that almost all women (90 to 95 percent) diagnosed with breast cancer have neither a family history nor mutated BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene, according to the American Cancer Society.
Myth: The majority of women diagnosed with breast cancer had more than one risk factor prior to diagnosis.
Fact: All women are at risk for developing breast cancer whether they have known risk factors. In fact, the majority of breast cancer patients had no known risk factors, other than being female, for this frightening disease.
Myth: Breast cancer is preventable.
Fact: Although a drug classified as an antiestrogen called, Tamoxifen may decrease breast cancer risk in certain women, the cause of breast cancer remains unknown and is not completely preventable. The real key to surviving breast cancer is early detection and treatment.
Myth: Having yearly mammograms will expose me to too much radiation and cancer will occur as a result.
Fact: According to the American College of Radiology, the benefits of annual mammograms far outweigh any risks that may occur because of the minute amount of radiation used during this screening and diagnostic procedure.
Myth: I'm not going to breastfeed because breastfeeding would increase my risk of getting breast cancer.
Fact: Just the opposite is true. Breastfeeding may actually decrease the risk of perimenopausal breast cancer.

Thank you for a lovely and informative round-up! With the number of entries, I think we have successfully raised awareness regarding breast cancer.
Thanks for the lovely round up and all the information given about breast cancer.
Wonderful roundup..lovely entries, very informative about breast cancer..
Thanks for the great roundup. What a great event…thanks for allowing me to participate. I hope we have helped to make other more aware!
Awesome roundup. Iam very happy to be part of this event. Thanks a lot for the event and info on breast cancer and everything. Three cheers to your energy dear.
Thank you!
This is such an informative and a beautiful array of culinary beauties! You have put so much effort into this for such an imperative cause!
Fabulous roundup–and so glad I could be part of it! Everything looks amazingly scrumptious and I can't wait to try some of these recipes! (Maybe I missed something, but didn't the event say make "anything" pink? Or did it have to be baked goods? I'm guessing there must be SOME other pink foods out there. . . ?!!). Well, more dessert for me!
Thanks for hosting this! 🙂
Awesome roundup! I love that it had such a diverse group of bloggers. Great personal touch with the facts and myths. Thanks for hosting! I hope you make it an annual event 🙂
The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) program is dedicated to increasing awareness about the importance of the early detection of breast cancer through a nationwide campaign. A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. Mammograms are the best method to detect breast cancer early when it is easier to treat and before it is big enough to feel or cause symptoms. Having regular mammograms can lower the risk of dying from breast cancer.

Medicine Show Theatre Ensemble to Present DON JUAN IN HELL, 6/13-7/5
Medicine Show Theatre Ensemble, one of New York's longest-running experimental theatres, will stage George Bernard Shaw's Don Juan in Hell this month.
A preview performance will be on Friday, June 13. Opening night is Saturday, June 14, with 10 additional performances: Sunday, June 15; Friday, June 20; Sunday, June 22; Monday, June 23; Friday, June 27; Saturday, June 28; Sunday, June 29; Wednesday, July 2; Thursday, July 3; and closing night Saturday, July 5. All curtain times are 8 p.m. It runs 95 minutes with no intermission. The theatre is located at 549 W. 52nd Street, 3rd Floor, near 11th Ave., subway C/E 50th St.
Shaw originally wrote the piece at the turn of the 20th century and it is still ahead of its time, as a hilarious indictment of hypocrisy, the "easy" life, and the subsequent war and slaughter of the 20th and 21st centuries. He crafted the work as Act III of his masterpiece Man and Superman, but it stands alone as a one-act play. It focuses on the legend of Don Juan, who famously courts the beautiful Doña Ana and kills her father, The Commander, in a duel. The Commander returns from the dead as a statue and causes Don Juan to be carried to hell. Shaw's piece begins some time later when Ana arrives in hell. Once there, they join the devil in a truly funny exploration of heaven, hell, life and virtue.
Medicine Show artistic director Barbara Vann plays The Devil, Perri Yaniv plays Don Juan, Sherese Parris plays Ana and Clinton Powell plays The Commander. The production will also highlight a rotating roster of jazz musicians playing and improvising throughout so no two performances will be exactly the same.
Medicine Show first produced Don Juan in Hell in 1977, staging it again in 2006. Reviewers called those productions "...an exhilarating evening," and "...for theatre lovers." The Shaw Society called it, "The best Don Juan in Hell ever." Austin Pendleton named it, "The liveliest classic I've ever seen."
Don Juan in Hell was most famously showcased as a stand-alone play in a 1950s production with Charles Laughton and Agnes Moorehead.
This production is made possible in part by grants from The New York State Council on the Arts and the Leibowitz-Greenway Family Foundation. Tickets are $18.00 for general admission, $15.00 for seniors and students. They are available from Smarttix at www.Smarttix.com or (212) 868-4444. For more information, log onto the company's website at www.MedicineShowTheatre.org.

TPWD Seeks Input on Proposed Revised Rules for Exotic Aquatic Plants
AUSTIN – Many aquaria and landscape enthusiasts appreciate the beauty and functionality of aquatic plants, but the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department wants to ensure the introduction of non-native aquatic plants will not harm the state's natural resources.
To provide appropriate opportunities for use of certain non-native aquatic plants and algae without risking impacts to the state's natural resources, TPWD is proposing new rules for the possession of exotic aquatic plants, which includes a list of exotic aquatic plants approved for possession and sale in Texas. A series of public hearings to allow comments on these rules has been scheduled for January (see schedule below). The proposed rules and list of approved exotic aquatic plants can be viewed at http://tpwd.texas.gov/business/feedback/public_comment/. This site also allows online comments.
Possession of some non-native plants currently is prohibited while the possession of other non-native species is allowed with a permit. This system requires the department to continually monitor and update the prohibited list as new species are brought into Texas.
"We believe this new approach is the most efficient way to prevent the introduction of invasive exotics into the ecosystem," said Dr. Earl Chilton, TPWD's exotic vegetation program manager. "Most folks want to do what's right for the environment and knowing which exotic aquatics are acceptable will hopefully eliminate inadvertent introduction."
The introduction of harmful exotic (invasive) plant species into Texas and throughout the U.S. has been on the increase in recent years. Collectively, these species can and do have tremendous negative impacts on the environment and economy. Costs associated with control and eradication of invasive species (terrestrial and aquatic) in the United States has been estimated at more than $100 billion annually.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission is scheduled to vote on the proposed rules at its Jan. 27, 2011 meeting at TPWD's Austin headquarters. The public is welcome to attend this meeting and provide additional comments for the Commission's consideration.
For additional information, contact Dr. Earl Chilton at 512-389-4652; firstname.lastname@example.com or Ken Kurzawski, 512-389-4591; email@example.com.

In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
At Murray's Cheese in the West Village, the Meatball Melt often shows up as the daily sandwich special. If you're lucky enough to spot it, don't miss out. Two thick slices of a Pullman's loaf flank mozzarella-laced meatballs, a ladle of tomato sauce, and sliced provolone cheese. A brief visit in the panini press and out comes a messy, fantastically indulgent sandwich. It's certainly not for eating on the go; find a seat, preferably the bench right outside the shop, and bite in. You want it hot, straight off the press, and not a minute later. The layers of melted provolone keep the sauce from soaking into the bread too quickly, but start eating right away, lest the savory tomato sauce drip off the edges. And if you've got time, a cold beer at Blind Tiger right across the street is the perfect finish.

NPR has posted an audio story on the history of the Vocoder. They interview Dave Tompkins who recently wrote a book called How to Wreck a Nice Beach: The Vocoder From World War II to Hip-Hop. Grab the book from Amazon (about $20): click here
"If you've listened to pop music in the past 40 years, you've probably heard more than a few songs with a robotic sound. That's thanks to the vocoder, a device invented by Bell Labs, the research division of AT&T. Though the vocoder has found its way into music, the machine was never intended for that function. Rather, it was developed to decrease the cost of long-distance calls and has taken on numerous other uses since." – NPR.org

Gap Summer 2013 Pictures
Gap Summer '13 Supplies Us With Neon, Stripes, and a Bit of Edge
The Gap Summer 2013 forecast? Sunny with neon pops of orange, pink, and yellow; a strong chance of denim on denim with tie-dye showers with a nice beachy open-weave sweater and canvas bag breeze. In all seriousness, though, there's always a sense of classic Americana built into Gap's collections season after season, but for the warmer months ahead, expect there to be a little bit more edge involved. While there's enough Nantucket girl (fresh stripes, printed shorts, and crisp button-ups) to serve us well in the prep-inspired getaway category, we're also seeing a lot of rocker-chick references. Slightly frayed denim cutoffs in washed-out fades, bleached denim tie-dye shirts, and a light-wash jean moto jacket all make the cut. Styled together, this mix offers easy — and price-point friendly — ways to tap into Summer's iconic and trendier staples in one go.

AFC Wimbledon will be without the services of George Oakley for the start of the season after boss Neal Ardley confirmed the striker has picked up a hamstring injury in training.
He told Dons Player: "George picked up a hamstring injury when we were doing some work on crossing and finishing.
"We are fearful that it could mean a few weeks out.
"He was ill for a while and it's been a stuttering start to pre-season in terms of physicality.
"We're just hoping that it's not too serious."
Meanwhile, Jake Nicholson is back in training after recovering from his own hamstring injury, which has kept him out of action for two weeks.

Topic: New member introduction
Good morning. I was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma Dec 10, 2012 while in FL and flew back to NJ for further evaluation. On Dec 26 I had surgery for resection but could not complete due to abdominal/pelvic turmors. I am now on chemo at MSKCC (in NJ) Gem/Cis and after 2 weeks doing well. No side effects yet and energy is returning.
I dealt with the initial shock in Dec. and handled the legal matters necessary so I can focus on living with this disease for many years. I know that cure is unlikely but co-existence will suffice. My family has been by my side from the start of this journey and that is my source of strength and hope.
Not one to dwell on medical details...just want to give & receive encouragement, support and news. We are starting to research clinical trials and orphan drugs for future treatment when/if that becomes appropriate.

Q:Someone asked if the the 3.75" and 5" width rustic red oak could be installed together. The reviewer answered that it wasn't recommended to install the two sizes together since they are milled differently but also said that since it was a rustic red oak product, it would all be sanded down anyway. I thought the description was that this was a prefinished product. Aren't all Bellawood floors prefinished? Thank you.
1 answer
A:This product question would be better answered by our Sales Department, they are more familiar with all of our flooring products and can better assist you with your questions.
Q:Is this a snap together floating floor product?
1 answer
A:This is a solid 3/4" product designed to be nailed to a wood substrate.
Q:Are the pieces uniform in length? If not, how much do they vary and what's the average length?
1 answer
A:Tavern (Rustic) Grade:
Q:Is there a wax or conditioner I can use on this floor to make it more resistant/urine proof/water proof? Can I wax it, where do I find overall floor care instructions?
2 answers
A:We can only recommend our Bellawood Floor Cleaner, or cleaners that are safe for water based urethane finishes. Never use any polish, wax, oil soaps or cleaners that add shine to the floor. Thank you for your inquiry.

Detailed Description:
Shoulder impingement has been identified as the most common cause of shoulder pain in the adult general population. Sometimes therapeutic pushing on the middle part of the back (manual therapy) decreases shoulder pain in someone experiencing shoulder impingement. We do not known what causes the decreased shoulder pain. It could be that the therapeutic pushing makes things move better. It may be that the person getting their back treatment thinks they are better or the physical therapist who provides the manual treatment thinks it works.

Detailed Description:
Shoulder impingement has been identified as the most common cause of shoulder pain in the adult general population. High-Velocity, Low-Amplitude Thrust Manipulations (HVLATM) of the thoracic spine and ribs result in increased shoulder ROM, as well as decreased pain and disability in patients suffering shoulder impingement. The quality of the sparse publications is low and lacking control or comparison groups regarding the use of HVLATM in the management of shoulder impingement. Further higher quality randomized clinical trials are needed. Moreover, no research has investigated the effects of the patients beliefs and different types of verbal messages conveyed by the clinician to the subjects in regard to the effects of HVLATM of the thoracic spine on shoulder pain and function. The purpose of this study is to evaluate, in subjects with signs and symptoms of shoulder impingement: (1) the effects of a series of the prone thoracic spine High Velocity Low Amplitude Thrust Manipulation (HVLATM) as compared to the HVLATM directed at the scapula, on shoulder pain, impingement symptoms, and functional outcomes; (2) the effect of the type of message and language used by the clinician in regard to thoracic HVLATM on shoulder pain, impingement symptoms, and functional outcomes; (3) the effect of subject's expectation of outcome of thoracic and scapula HVLATM on shoulder pain, impingement symptoms, and functional outcomes; (4) if these potential immediate improvements will be sustained at 6 to 9-day follow up.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 69 Years (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- A consecutive convenience sampling of patients with complaints of shoulder pain that are not post-surgical will be screened at their initial evaluation.

We had the pleasure of visiting Currie Enterprises of Anaheim, CA., a few months back, and those who know about this vaunted company know why we were honored to take a tour. For those not familiar, Currie has been in business since 1959, and the company started off in a garage as most successful businesses do. Their rise to automotive prominence came quickly, and they are known in the automotive industry for building some of the strongest rear-ends for all automotive needs. So strong in fact, that we just had to put one under our '70 Caprice! The security and peace of mind you can get by adding one to your ride is unparalleled, and they are certainly the go-to destination for rear end suspension reinforcement for your build. The Currie housings are so strong that you will no longer worry about battery weight wearing down the axle bearings and losing them while you're driving. The Fab-9 housing is also strong enough to take any amount of torque our LS3 could throw at it, without jeopardizing a smooth ride.
We wanted to modernize the rear end suspension and after talking to Art Gomez, from Go-EZ Customs in Anaheim, he suggested we add a triangulated four-link. With the lower arm braces and pinion angle handled by Currie, this custom install was sure to be a smooth process. For the addition to be successful, all we would need to do is figure out the angles on the top of the housing. With the stock trailing arms being the weakest link, we called our friends at RideTech who suggested we use their newest 65-70 tubular suspension instead. Tubular suspensions have been around for years and can be seen in race cars and trophy trucks that run the Baja 500. They are considerably stronger than the older stamped metal suspensions. RideTech's bolt on kits are also one of the easiest kits on the market to install and they perfectly complement the look that we wanted to add to our classic car.
Now follow along, as Art Gomez from Go-EZ updates the suspension by installing a more modern set up on this 42-year-old car.
1. This Currie rear end was ready to be installed and will be able to handle what ever the LS3 can throw at it.
2. The stock rear end was ready to be removed.
3. After unbolting the stock trailing arms, the complete axle was removed with ease.
4. With everything disassembled, we were ready to start installing and fabricating.
5. RideTech supplied us with the lower trailing arms, coils, and shocks that we needed to use for the build.
6. The lower tubular trailing arms dictated where the rest of the suspension would fit.
7. The RideTech arms were fastened down snugly to allow us to remove them when needed.
8. We used universal arms to create the four-link.
9. The arms were measured and mocked up to get the angle that we were looking for.
10. After looking at the angle of the upper arms, they were measured and prepped to be trimmed down.
11. The upper arms were cut down to 8-inches.
12. Art used the Lincoln welder to weld adjusting bungs in place.
13. These upper arms were left to cool off before they were assembled and installed.
14. The frame was cleaned off to allow the weld to bond.
15. The upper arms were assembled and setup to be welded in place.
16. The axle was set to ride height, allowing the upper arms to be mocked up easier.
17. The arms were set in place.
18. Here is another look at the angle of the upper arms as the brackets will need to be welded to the frame.
19. The braces were tack-welded in place.
20. The housing was ready to be removed one last time to allow the last of the welding to be done.
21. The housing tabs for the four-link were tack-welded in place.
22. The tabs were welded on the housing.
23. The frame tabs were also welded and allowed to cool off.
24. The axle was re-installed one last time.
25. We tightened down the cup coils to make sure the coils stayed in place.
26. To ensure that the car had a smooth ride, we used a set of RideTech shocks.
27. The shocks were bolted up.
28. After a couple of hours of work, the Currie rear end was bolted up.
29. This car was ready to roll with a brand new powerful Currie four link rear end!

It's a complete kit, so you need no additional parts, and a large user community can back you up if problems pop up (not to mention Thingiverse, where you can find awesome open source designs). It took me about 20 hours to build the Thing-O-Matic and start printing, and I improved its accuracy with more tuning, calibrating, and tinkering with settings in the ReplicatorG software. If you have any trouble, read the discussion at the bottom of every build step. I've since 3D-printed many fun and handy things (everyone loves a 3D-printed gift!) and the MakerBot is now by far the most-used machine at MAKE Labs.

I'm not singling anyone out, but I've read several, SEVERAL posts about keeping the Pacers team the same. I'm not sure you guys want a championship with this talk. It's like, it hasn't worked before, what makes you think it's gunna work now?
As much as I hate to say this, I'll say it, Jermaine O'neal is an important peice to this team. That isn't hard to admit for some, but I find O'neal's lack of trust in other teammates to be very aggrivating, but that's another story, another argument. Every good team needs a good big man, and O'neal is just that, a good big man. You guys all know his values.
Ron Artest is perhaps my favorite player on the court with his defense intensity and the fact that he brings consistancy and plays with more heart than anyone I've ever seen. I believe he's a changed man and I'm willing to bet that he'll take the nba by storm next season, being just as good as he was at the beginning of last season.
Jamaal Tinsley is exactly the point guard we need on this team. He's a great floor leader and runs the point exactly the way I think we need it. If you watch AJ run the point for a while, like we did, and then see Jamaal run the point again, like we did, you get to appreciate everything he brings to the table. He has court vision, which I don't think ANYONE else on this team does. He can find people open on the perimeter, as well as dump the ball to someone open downlow. I've got to believe that if this team has a shot to win it all, it's with Jamaal running the point.
Stephen Jackson is the most expendable player we've got on this team. And I'm not saying I don't like Stephen Jackson. I love the guy. I think he proved his defensive abilities against Tayshaun Prince in the playoffs last season. He's just to inconsistant for this team and his decision making is pretty crappy. But I'll be happy with him being on this team if there is no available deal for another impact player. But as far as the Pacers' key peices, Jackson has got to be the most expendable and attractive player to other teams.
Dale Davis. If DD re-signs, that is, I'll be happy with him starting again this season. But I don't think Dale can play that many minutes. I'm all for the grooming of Harrison to be the eventual starter, but I don't think Harrison will be ready for another year or two.
David Harrison, like I just said, I think Hulk will be the future for us at center. I like Harrison and feel that he'll be a better Eric Dampier. Maybe Dampier with offense and hair.
Jeff Foster. I love Frosty and feel that he's an important key for us to win a championship. I'm willing to bet that the Spurs would add him to their team if they could. He's a role player that bring energy off the bench, as well as play down the stretch. I think Foster is best suited off the bench. He's two underrated to trade though, so I'd like to go on the record to say that I think trading Foster is a retarded move to make.
Freddie Jones. I love Freddie. The highlight video I believe that soup posted has reminded me of the Freddie that makes shots and thunderous dunks. I think Freddie gets better every year and once he learns to play with consistancy and knock down the jumpers on a regular basis, we'll be on the right path. I think Fred can be one of those key, 'role players'.
Now I'm gunna get nasty.
Anthony Johnson. I think Johnson is a complete f**k @$$! Yeah, he's a decent player. But he's overrated and will never be more than a backup. What I hate about AJ is that he has zero court vision, and when Jamaal gets the Pacers on a role and are on their way to a blowout, AJ comes in, and all the momentum completely shifts and we're back into a drag it out, under 5 point victory/loss game. AJ is more of a shooting guard, and his stock is outragously high for his actual game, so if any deal happens, I hope to god that AJ is on his way somewhere else.
Jonathan Bender. I said in another thread that we should cut Bender... with a knife! I stand by it. Bender makes me wanna pull my hair out. Look up 'vagina' in the dictionairy, and I'm sure it'll say something about Bender. Every year, I think, Bender could break out and we'll be great. And every year, he gets hurt without being touched. If his knee is this bad, why not opperate? Why not put him under the knife before someone else does it without a doctor's license? It's aggrivating to think that we didn't re-sign Brad cuz he wanted to much money, and yet this punk who has done nothing but sit on the bench and waste all our time. DOWN WITH BENDER! DOWN WITH BENDER!
Austin Croshere. I think Croshere may be cut, but if he isn't, he should be. Croshere has one or two good games in a spand of 10. We can finally drop the, 'Isiah was racist against Austin' chant, seeing as Rick doesn't like playing him either. Hopefully, Croshere won't be here next season.
James Jones. Everyone here loves James Jones. Hurrah for James Jones. Well I don't. JJ to me, is overrated by Indiana Pacers fans. (except for me) JJ lacks any confidence at all, doesn't shoot that well from the field, and I feel he's only 'average' on defense.
John Edwards... will be not employed by the Pacers.
Eddie Gill. The best scoring pg we have. Also the worst defender we have. Gill is expendable, and even cutable. I don't think he'll ever have a defined role on this team with his defensive retardedness.
Scot Pollard... Yeah.... His contract is up next offseason, so he'll definetly be used in a trade. I like Scot more than I did last season, but I still dislike him to the extreme. Bah!
As for Danny Granger. I have yet to form an opinion of Danny, although I'm sure he'll be very good and I'll have nothing but good things to say of him. But I'm not going to jump the gun and get all horny about him until I see him play and see if he's durable, mentally strong, and will play the all-around game like I'm told he can.
Ok, what's the point of my rant? Only a few players like, O'neal, Jackson, Artest, Tinsley, Foster, are peices that should be kept. This team needs to be changed and if you guys keep saying, 'I'm fine with the team the way it is' your basically admitting that you don't want a championship. This team can't win a championship the way it is now, or atleast, I'm very much not on board with their chances.
I'd also like to say that I hope Chris Thomas makes this team. I think he's a fun player that would be a fan favorite.
Just my thoughts.. hate them or love them. Regardless, I still love you.

LONG BEACH - Increased police patrols will focus on motorcycle safety Saturday, with officers looking for risky riders and drivers of other vehicles who fail to watch out for their two-wheeled counterparts.
The daylong patrol program, which is funded by a state traffic safety grant, will see extra officers on duty in areas where motorcycles are most common, said Nancy Pratt, a Long Beach Police Department spokeswoman.
In 2009, the state saw a 30 percent drop in motorcycle fatalities. In 2011, the number of fatalities stayed the same, but the number of injuries increased by 16 percent, Pratt said.
State collision data show the primary cause of motorcycle-involved crashes include speeding, unsafe turns and driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. Authorities, however, note many collisions are caused by other motorists who fail to watch out for motorcyclists, especially when turning or changing lanes.
Part of the decrease in fatalities may be attributed to fewer improperly licensed riders, said Christopher Murphy, director of the California Office of Traffic Safety.
In 2008, 63 percent of motorcyclists younger than age 25 who were killed weren't properly licensed. In 2009, that statistic fell to 45 percent, Murphy said.
"The terrible trend of rising motorcyclist fatalities has been reversed, though there is more that everyone can do to save more lives," the state director said. "Riders and drivers need to respect each other and share the road."
Murphy also encouraged motorcycle riders to take advantage of training offered through the "California Motorcyclist Safety Program." For more information and training locations, go to www.CA-msp.org or call 877-RIDE-411 (743-3411).

I bought 2 120GB Vertex 3 SSDs to upgrade my notebooks. The Y550 wouldn't even post with the SSD installed at first. The logo screen doesn't even display, what looks like a cursor flashes on the screen for a second, then freezes. That's it.
I updated to the latest BIOS (5.07), and checked the SSD firmware, which was already up to date. No change.
In the end, I pulled the drive, got into BIOS, and switched the SATA controller into compatible mode. Now it'll boot, but obviously, it should work in AHCI mode.
The X201 is worse. It locks up constantly, I can't even get an OS installed. Doesn't matter which mode the SATA controller is in. I've tried all of the usual troubleshooting steps, like making sure the firmware/BIOS is up to date. I also tried setting the drive to SATA2 mode (instead of it trying to negotiate for SATA 3), with no effect.
I've popped these drives into my desktop, and it didn't have any problems with either of them. Is Lenovo working on this at all, or am I going to have to start buying my laptops from Asus?
Hello MR2Dave,
This issue could be as brand compatibility with laptop.
If you have another brand SSD then you may check as it should work.
Lenovo has Solid State Drive firmware update utility which check your system configuration and detect all Solid State Drives installed in your ThinkPad.
This utility is compatible with Intel, Samsung, Micron however, you must try to run this.
Best Regards,

By "brand compatibility", do you mean Lenovo? It's a SATA drive with TRIM support, these are industry standard protocols, they're not brand specific at all. These drives work just fine in other computers with the same chipset/controller.
Since I "must", I ran the utility. Of course, it does nothing, because it doesn't have a firmware update for my drive. The drive is up to date anyhow, which I've already mentioned.
So, can we expect a BIOS update to fix the bug, or is a hardware design flaw causing this?
OCZ released a firmware update, version 2.22, which I updated to. The drives work just fine in Asus, Acer, and HP computers. Lenovo, on the other hand... The Y550 still won't POST with the controller an AHCI mode, and the X201 still locks up.
I'm still waiting for an answer from Lenovo. Support like this is going to ruin (what's left of) the brand's reputation pretty quickly.
