The Blue Lagoon is by far the most magnificent beach of the Maltese Islands. It is renowned for its crystal clear blue waters, which are hailed as being among the top 10 in the world. The Blue Lagoon is located on the small exotic island of Comino, which lies between Malta and its sister island Gozo. Comino is 2.5 square kilometres in size - there are no roads and hence no cars - and offers a beautiful jagged coastline with countless small creeks, sea caves and a pretty lagoon. The Blue Lagoon was featured many times in international movies, most notably in Madonna's most recent movie Swept Away, and the mini-series Helen of Troy. Also on Comino lies St Mary's Tower, which was featured in the classic movie "The Count of Monte Cristo". Boatcare offers bareboat and skippered boat charters to Comino, enabling you to take enjoy the fantastic waters of the Blue Lagoon.
Mgarr ix-Xini bay is an enchanting secluded beach in Gozo, perfect for swimming, snorkelling and diving. This once isolated inlet is becoming increasingly popular with locals and tourists, and hit International Headlines after Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie announced that they will shoot a movie here in August 2014. The beach enjoys a narrow inlet which is flanked by high rocky surroundings, and has a small pebbled beach at the head of the inlet which provides a sweet slope into the water. Mġarr Ix-Xini was used by the Knights to hide their galleys and was also used by the invading Turks to load captive Gozitans onto their ships in the worst-ever raid on the island in 1551, known as The Great Siege. A historic watchtower built by the Knights of St John in 1661 still stands guard over the entrance to the inlet. The bay is especially loved by divers who are fascinated by the several intriguing caves in the cliff faces as well as the nearby wreck of the scuttled ferryboat called "Xlendi". Boatcare provides various yachts for charter to Mgarr ix-Xini Bay.
Limits of Mellieha
Charter a yacht in Malta and lay anchor in Anchor Bay, the tiny picturesque inlet internationally renowned as "Popeye Village". This is where the 1979 film starring Robin Williams as Popeye was shot. After more than three decades since the movie was produced, Popeye's "Sweethaven" village is still occupying the craggy slopes of Anchor Bay, an isolated cove just one kilometre west of Mellieha Bay, Malta's largest sandy beach. Although 30 years have passed, the village film set is still one of the most prominent tourist attractions in Malta. This charming inlet is also used by fishermen who perch on the little quay left by the film set.
Limits of Mellieha
Armier Bay is the north of Malta, limits of Mellieha. Many foreigners and locals love to lay anchor in Armier Bay. Armier beach has sandy and rocky beaches that spread around the shore of an open bay at the very northern coast of Malta. The sandy bay lies opposite the Maltese Islands of Comino and Gozo. Bars, small restaurants and a lido provide the necessary beach facilities in a beautiful rural environment. Armier is a very popular spot with lovers of barbecues and picnics. Contact us to find out more about Malta Yacht Charters to Armier Bay.
North of Malta
St Paul's Bay, which incorporates Buġibba and Qawra, together form Malta's largest sea-side resort towns. The beautiful coastline of these tourist havens has a wonderful promenade that stretches from Salina Bay to St. Paul's Bay, and includes some of the Maltese Islands' most enchanting open sea views. Most of the beaches have rocky shores which are highly accessible to bathers. The rocks are flat and provide amazing sun-bathing spots. The waters are deep and generally clean, and very safe for bathing. Many sea lovers prefer to enjoy the open seas by Motor Boat Charter. Laying anchor around these islands a favourite with bathers who love to enjoy the open seas while being few hundred metres away from shore.
Dwejra Bay is considered as the Maltese Archipelago's most spectacular natural landmark. One can say that geology, time and the Mediterranean Sea have worked together to produce some of the most extraordinary scenery on the Islands - The Azure Window, famous for appearing in many movies, the Inland Sea, Fungus Rock, the sheer cliffs and an most-amazing rocky coastline. Apart from the topography visible above the sea and on the ground, there are also some mesmerizing underwater caves which provide excellent dive sites. The Azure Window, a table-like rock over the sea, is one of the most photographed panoramas of the Maltese Islands, and it is particularly spectacular during winter when waves crash high inside the arch. The Azure Window also featured in Blockbusters like Clash of the Titans (1981) and The Count of Monte Cristo (2002), as well as the TV miniseries The Odyssey (1997) and HBO's TV series Game of Thrones. The Inland Sea, and Dwejra Bay itself, were created millions of years ago when two limestone caves collapsed. The shallow inland lagoon is linked to the sea via a 50-metre cave. The sea is loved by fishermen, swimmers and is also used as an access point for divers. Overlooking the lagoon is the Chapel of St. Anne, built in 1963 on the site of a much older church. The other natural landmark here is the renowned Fungus Rock.
Golden Bay derives its name from the golden sand that lies on this wonderful beach, which is also one of the few beaches in Malta that has a backdrop of trees. Each year thousands of locals and tourists flock to the beach of Golden Bay to sunbathe and relax under the sun and bathe in its amazing waters. Golden Bay is located in the NW of Malta and is also a favourite spot for BBQ lovers who start gathering in the early evenings to set up their BBQs. Right adjacent to this beach lies the majestic Radisson Blu hotel complex. While the water is usually safe for swimming with common safe buoys that are found all over the island, sometimes there may be strong currents but in such instances red flags are exposed to inform bathers that the waters on the day are a bit rough and therefore they have to stick to shallow areas. This bay is especially loved by Malta yacht leasing aficionados who always choose to spend a week or two anchored outside this wonderful beach.
St. Peter's Pool is a magnificent "natural" pool which many find ideal to unwind away from the busier tourist spots. St. Peter's Pool lies close to the fishing village of Marsaxlokk, at the tip of Delimara Point in the southwest of Malta. The azure and light green crystalline sea offers an exceptional snorkelling experience; the flat rocks provide the ideal sunbathing areas; while the high rocks offer some shade from the strong sun. Beach ladders provide easy and safe access to the sea and the more adventurous bathers have the option of diving safely into the waters from a few metres high. St Peter's Pool is popular with the locals, especially for those living in nearby villages and with tourists who are looking for a quieter place to spend their day. However, due to its remote location and bad roads leading there it's rarely ever crowded and you can always find a spot just for yourself. Make sure to take whatever you need for a day out as there are no facilities whatsoever.
Mediterranean yacht charter countries and islands are unparalleled in their natural beauty, cultural and folkloristic heritage, passion, fascination and stylishness. In previous times the Mediterranean was considered as the centre of the known and civilized world, but for yacht charter vacations, it still is till this very day! The warm, serene Mediterranean Sea with its clear azure waters maintains a distinct reputation for yachting enthusiasts from around the world. The sunny Mediterranean is divided into two main areas - The Western Mediterranean and the Eastern Mediterranean. Both areas are culturally unique, and both are surrounded with exotic beaches, veiled coves, grandiose ports and luxury yacht marinas. Yachts of all shapes and sizes grace the Mediterranean: from Super Yachts and Large Motor Yachts, to sleek Sailing Yachts, some orientated for performance, others made more for comfortable cruising style. Among the most enchanting locations are the French Riviera, the amazing Italian, Croatian and Spanish coasts, the wonderful coasts of Malta, and the exceptional lure of Turkey and Greece, the birthplace of civilization. Here at Boatcare we have the perfect Mediterranean Yacht Charters for those who would like to rent a yacht and set out on an extensive and wonderful journey round the Mediterranean Islands!
Yacht leasing is a smart alternative to yacht ownership. Just like car leasing, yacht leasing is becoming an ever more popular activity with yachting enthusiasts and yacht lovers in Malta and the Mediterranean. With Boatcare Trading Limited you can enjoy a yacht for as long as you like without the hassle that comes with yacht ownership. We keep our yachts in tip-top condition, and make sure that you can sit back and enjoy the amazing Maltese Summers and mild winters around one of the most welcoming islands of the Mediterranean Sea.

Chevrolet Malibu Maxx Dealer Service
"It shouldn't take long at all, we are dead this morning. It must be everyone out shopping for Christmas."
The tech comes over takes the car and drives it into a bay. I'm in the waiting room, drinking some good coffee when I notice that my car is now going up on the lift. Huh? Shouldn't the washer fluid thingy be under the hood. Now, I'm outside the waiting room and I'm hearing the air gun taking off some hunk of metal. The tech take the metal into the parts dept and returns with a new one. I guess he noticed the confused,daze look in my eyes and explained to me that my starter was about to go and was replacing it.
"Don't worry its covered under warranty."
Wow, new starter, okay. Brings the Maxx back down and starts right up. He gets under the hood and he flushes the washer system with an air hose and poof, I can now wash my windows. Next, he is working on my remote. 20 mins later and 2 brand new keys and remotes he told me that my receiver was going and that was the first time he ever replaced a receiver in a Maxx.
A total of 75 minutes and a new starter,new receiver and washer fluids work and it cost zip,zero, nada. Tipped the Tech wished him a Merry Christmas and went on my way. This was the first time I wasn't looking to run over small animals in the road after leaving a dealer. :P Very nice job!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good nite.
firemanjack Posts: 123Hehehe...This is an amazine story...It's nice to have some really good, positive stuff here..I too have an '05 Maxx and have had no problems with it..13,000 miles now..I love it
Thanks amazine
Merry Christmas Jack0
I am reasonably happy with my 05 Maxx LT. I have had some of the problems, but allot fewer then others here on this site. The most positive thing about the experience is I for the first time in my life, I have been driving for 32 years now. I found a dealer that actually services what they sell. The service at Colonial Chev in Newmarket Ontario Canada is fantastic. I only wish my Maxx was as good as their service is.0
About a year ago, I took over an '05 Maxx LS from a relative who wasn't happy with the car. I like the car. There are certain issues that I noticed, especially the rotor warping. But it seems to be the result of creative thinking by GM's engineers. Great idea, even if the execution has been imperfect.
The car has been serviced -- oil change, tranny flush -- by a reputable independent mechanic. Recently the transmission feels like its operating differently. At speeds under 40 mph it just feels like it's transitioning between gears, like it's not sure where it should be. Also, if I go to 40 and take my foot off the accelerator and coast for a few seconds, when I resume giving it gas, it feels like it's sticking for a few beats before accelerating. Recent trans flush, at 30K as scheduled, didn't change any of this.
The car is still under warranty, so I brought it to the selling dealer. They said that the tech found the right axle seal leaking and replaced the seal. When I got the car back, the transmission still behaved as before. What's more, now the Electronic Range Select, a/k/a tap shift, is not working. When the shifter is placed in "L" it stays stuck in "3" and does not respond to operation of the rocker switch.
Second visit to dealer and the tech finds "trans operating normal". Advisor says when car "is in overdrive", hesitation upon re-acceleration is "normal". Regarding inoperative tap shift (which was working fine when I first took the car there), they say a "solenoid" needs to be replaced. Part placed on order.
So my original transmission concern is set aside and now I've got a non-working tap shift, to boot. I've no experience with dealers but this feels wrong. Any thoughts would be appreciated.0
csandste Posts: 1,866You might want to repost this in the Malibu transmission forum.
GM four speed automatics are generally pretty durable and I don't have any great knowledge base when it comes to transmissions.
Based on your post, I'd ask three questions:
1. How many miles?
2. How quickly after the tranny flush did you notice anything? Are you sure the right fluids were used?
3. Does the solenoid control transmission shifting and not just the tap switch. If you're accelerating why doesn't the transmission kick down to a lower gear?0
Thanks for your reply and thanks for the forum repost suggestion. I'll consider doing that but for now let's see if anyone else notices it here.
The car has about 31K on it. The issue predates the tranny flush. I hoped it might go away after the flush. No such luck. I discussed the fluid issue with my mechanic who was very concerned to use whatever GM calls for. BTW, I feel the problem dealer thinks I'm fair game for bad treatment b/c this car was independently serviced. Car has been treated well, driven gently, mostly highway miles, and service (oil changes, tranny flush) by reputable independent techs w/years of exp.
The "solenoid" is a question mark right now. The dealer service mgr. said that the tap shifter malfunctioned because it needs a "solenoid". He had no explanation as to why the tap shift malfunctioned only after being serviced by his department. What's more, on the receipt for that visit, it reads "BCM on order". They said they'd call me when this came in.
Time passed and I called them a couple of days ago. Someone tells me "BCM" stands for body control module and they usually have them in stock. I'm told there is one sitting on the shelf there right now! I would guess that a solenoid is an electro-mechanical component and not the same thing as a "body control module". I've pretty much concluded, based on this drawn-out experience (two visits, several weeks) that the people at this department are not dealing with me in good faith :mad:
I don't know if I can give a good answer to your third question. I thought the trans kicks to a lower gear only when you're accelerating uphill. I described a situation where I'm doing about 35-40 mph, take my foot off the gas to coast for a few seconds, and then resume the previous speed. That's when I feel like there's an overlong sticking or hesitation. When cruising with foot on accel at lower speeds, about 20-30 mph, it sometimes feels like the trans is not sure what gear to be in -- like it's transitioning or "hunting" up and down.0
The Maxx 4 speed has a "non lock" mode where, between 4th and 3rd gear, the transmission unlocks the torque converter and allows it to vary its ratio. This will usually happen if you are gently accelerating up a hill while in 4th and notice the RPMs gradually increasing. If the "non lock" mode doesn't provide sufficient torque, the tranny will then jump to 3rd gear.
Note this "non lock" mode is not available with Cruise control . With Cruise on, the Maxx will simply jump back and forth between 3rd and 4th gear trying to maintain speed.0
Just a reminder that you can now write reviews for and rate both your dealer and their service department. Here's the link to get you to the place to start:

Hmmmm...I did not know this. Which probably explains why going up a hill with cruise on produces this very abrupt downshift accompanied by a surge in RPM.0
It just so happens that I wrote about this very phenomenon on my blog today

In the MAXX'S case, the engineers told me it was a cost decision not to program (or design in bus bandwidth for) the cruise control to interact with the transmission non-lock modes.
Some other GM cars do have cruise controls that can use the transmission's non-locking Torque converter capabilities. I remember the Trailblazer having this ability.
The Maxx is Accelerator-by-wire, so all throttle control communication is electronic.0
dr650 Posts: 1My wife's 04 Malibu has started doing the same thing I think. If I'm going 40 or less and coasting and then step on the gas it is like it isn't in gear, the engine revs up nothing and then the transmission hooks up with a jerk and everything is fine until I coast again. I haven't noticed it at highway speeds. Also our + - shift quit working. I wonder if they are related. Did you ever find the cause?0
My + - was not working and was causing some funny shifting and cruise control effects, but not as sever as what you describe. My mechanic traced it down to the the one of the control wires for the + - switch had broken. Under the console where the wires run up the shifter the wires make a 90 degree turn up the shifter, it was right there at the 90. They use such small gauge of wire for everything these days it had just fatigued. Once repaired all was good. As I recall the condition did put a code into the computer. Good Luck0
my 04 maxx has a similar tranny issue. When my foot is off the gas and the car is coasting to turn a street corner, the tranny is very sluggish to downshift and accelerate. I also have troubles getting the tranny to find a lower gear when I stomp on the gas. I think the issue is between 2nd and 3rd gear. When I had the chain and sprocket work done, I remember the service manager stating that the chain was still pretty loose, despite their best efforts. I'm wondering if that is where the issue is emanating from?0
First, thanks to those of you who responded to my original post from August of last year. Second, my apologies for not following up on my original posts. I'm correcting that now. The summer of '07 knocked me for a loop in the form of that dealer service department that wouldn't honor the warranty -- even returning the car to me with an additional problem. Very bad news, indeed. I got word from other sources that this dealer service department was notorious for this sort of thing, with customers having to stoop to arguments and threats to have routine matters addressed. Bad news.
The good news is that I found a good dealer who turned the whole situation around, fixing my car in short order (under the soon-to-expire warranty) and rendering thoroughly professional service.
As described in my original posts last year, my '05 Malibu Maxx's trans developed an issue where the transmission would slip back and forth between gears at lower speeds. Took car to the selling dealer's service department, and was treated poorly from the start. They sat on the car for days and then returned it to me with -- surprise! -- the same transmission problem as well as a brand new problem: the +/- tap switch now did not work! The two men running this service department continued to give me a runaround. See my original posts from last year for the sorry details. Rather than deal with what was clearly an adversarial situation, I took the car to another dealer, in upstate NY. (The selling dealer is in a borough of NY City.)
Here's where my happy ending came in. To make a long story short: the new dealer, Ken Wilson Chevrolet of the town of Vestal in upstate New York, put an end to what had been a waking nightmare with the downstate operation. The techs at Ken Wilson found the tranny problem and corrected it quickly and with no fuss. They told me they had found a broken wire underneath the trans console. The car was returned to me with the transmission running smoothly and with the +/- tap shifter working fine. All of this was done in an environment of professionalism and courtesy at Ken Wilson. It was like a tutorial on how the dealer experience is supposed to be. That was one year ago. My Malibu Maxx is running fine with no problems and I've got a reputable dealer to service it
Thanks again for the replies. And I hope you all can find the good dealers out there -- as I was most fortunate to do.0
Gee, I thought you were going to say my dealership here in Alexandria was the offending dealer giving you the run around. What a similar story to mine......except mine resulted in my axle snapping off on Riverside Drive in Harlem (read my posts on the GM Customer Service page). I was giong to recommend to you that you see the GM dealer in Harlem. While not specifically a Chevy dealer, they are a GM dealership, not independently owned, who can get parts and perform service very quickly given their large operation there. They treated me wonderfully during my Malibu Maxx ordeal in NYC. Bottom line however: don't go to a dealer...find a independent shop rated well by your peers. GM, Ford, Chrysler won't intervene when you have a problem at any dealer, so without pressure, these dealers act like big shots because they have the big corporate logo on their shirts, even though they are independent. At least a private shop respects the fact that if you feel cheated, you'll never return and they will go out of business.0

UFC president Dana White said following UFC 158: St-Pierre vs. Diaz on March 16 that the Ultimate Fighting Championship would be returning to Boston this year, but didn't reveal the date.
On Friday, White made the announcement via Twitter that the promotion's return to Boston will take place on Aug. 17, and will coincide with the launch of the Fox Sports 1 channel.
"We are FINALLY going back to Boston at the TD Garden on Aug 17th for the launch of FOX Sports 1!! We are bringing a SICK card," tweeted White.
The UFC has only gone to Boston one time before in Aug. 2010 with UFC 118: Edgar vs. Penn 2. The event was headlined by the rematch between then-champion Frankie Edgar and B.J. Penn.
UFC 118 drew a crowd of 14,169 in live attendance, and pulled a gate of just over $2.8 million.
Fox Sports 1, converted from Speed TV, will be in 90 million homes. The company has rights to college basketball and football, NASCAR, soccer and UFC.
The network is set to rival ESPN in sports coverage and Sports Center with FOX Sports Live, a nightly sports news segment at 11 p.m. ET.
The Aug. 17 launch will include the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race from Michigan International Speedway and the UFC event in prime time.
No fights have been announced for the Fox Sports 1 card, but more announcements are expected in the coming days.

Although the writer didn't approve of baggy pants, it appeared to me that the reader felt the board should center their attention on student and teacher performance and leave the dress to the student.

Deutsche Bank reaches agreement with European Commission as part of a collective settlement on interbank offered rates
Deutsche Bank (XETRA: DBKGn.DE / NYSE: DB) announced today that, as part of a collective settlement, it has reached agreement with the European Commission on a resolution of its investigations into the submission of interbank offered rates. The settlement covers investigations into the trading of Euro interest rate derivatives (EIRD) and Yen interest rate derivatives (YIRD). As part of the settlement, Deutsche Bank has agreed to pay EUR 466 million for EIRD and EUR 259 million for YIRD, or EUR 725 million in total.
The settlement amount reflects, in particular, the high market share held by Deutsche Bank in the markets investigated.
Jürgen Fitschen and Anshu Jain, Co-Chief Executive Officers of Deutsche Bank, said: "Today's settlement marks one important step in our efforts to resolve the Bank's legacy issues. The settlement relates to past practices of individuals which were in gross violation of Deutsche Bank's values and beliefs. Acting with integrity is a core value at Deutsche Bank, and we expect every employee to adhere to it. We are attaching the highest institutional importance to ensuring that this type of misconduct does not happen again."
In response to matters that came to light during its internal investigations, the Bank has undertaken significant measures to enhance its systems and controls in the relevant business and infrastructure functions, including the creation of an independent Benchmark Submission Oversight function which now oversees the Bank's interbank offered rates submissions and reports to Risk Management. As part of Strategy 2015+ the Bank is investing EUR 1 billion to elevate its systems and controls to best in class, including by increasing the headcount in its control functions.
The settlement amount is already substantially reflected in the Bank's existing litigation reserves and no material additional reserves will be taken for this settlement.

You stumble across some images of the full QWERTY BlackBerry X10 or as I still like to refer to it as - the N-Series - because, I'm not sold on the X10 name. As posted in the CrackBerry forums, they certainly offer up a nice look at the not-yet-final device that will be landing into consumers' hands. Go on then, start debating. Z10 or X10? Personally, I'll be taking one of each. Thanks, antheauxny!

Joan Watson
This is Lucy Liu on the New York set of Elementary yesterday, a new Sherlock Holmes pilot for CBS. Liu is "Joan Watson", the sober companion to Jonny Lee Miller's Holmes who's just come out of rehab. Needless to say, the purists are punching themselves in the face out of frustration.
Look, I'm ok with Watson being a girl, and an Asian one too. I mean, if that's the shake-up, why not really shake it up, you know? But only if she and Holmes don't hook up. And, well, this is American network television. They f-ck sh-t up all the time. Duana said something to me last night (in relation to another show) about how the audience wanted two characters to happen and the writers were being pressured.
"This is f-cking fans demanding sh-t they don't get to demand. This is the Internet of entitlement."
Is that the legacy of Ross and Rachel?
And we haven't even addressed all you Cumby fans out there raging with rage about how Cumby's Sherlock is the best ever, ever, stamp it goddamn it, and how dare they introduce a new guy while Cumby's version is thriving...?!??!!!
Here's where I'll make you roll your eyes...
It's not that I'm not into the show. I think it's an OK medium B+ show, totally. But I'll never be fist pumpy hot and crazy about a show that doesn't feature any strong female characters. Sorry.

The biggest tailwind in the US economy is housing.
But there have been some weakish numbers lately.
Housing starts for January just came in below expectations.
Analysts were expecting 890K vs. expectations of 920K.
And yesterday the homebuilder sentiment report missed.
These are just two noisy reports during rough winter months. But when you're talking about the economy's biggest tailwind, you might want to pay attention to see if a trend develops.

Options As Tested: Cold Weather Package ($295)
Standard Safety Equipment: "front and side airbags, airbag curtains, active headrests, electronic stability control, traction control, ABS with brake assist and brake-force distribution, tire pressure monitor"
Optional Safety Equipment: noneDestination Charge: $995
For 2013, Chrysler replaces the 200 S model with an S package available on the Touring and Limited trim levels. The 2013 Chrysler 200 Touring S package upgrades with 18-inch aluminum wheels, a black finish grille, fog lamp bezels, projector fog lamps and black treatment headlamps. The 2013 Chrysler 200 Limited S package upgrades further with interior enhancements including leather-trimmed bucket seats and a perforated leather steering wheel.
The standard engine is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that makes 173 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque. A 4-speed automatic transmission is standard on the LX, but we recommend opting for the 6-speed automatic.
The Chrysler 200 Limited features a 3.6-liter V6 good for 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. A 6-speed automatic is standard. The V6 is an option on the Chrysler 200 Touring model.
Fuel economy for Chrysler 200 sedan with the four-cylinder engine is an EPA-estimated 20/31 mpg City/Highway with the 6-speed automatic (21/29 with the 4-speed automatic). Chrysler 200 convertibles with the four-cylinder rate a less impressive 18/27 mpg. With the V6, EPA estimates are 19/29 mpg City/Highway for all sedan and convertible models.
We found the Chrysler 200 offers a smooth ride, a solid feel and surprisingly tight handling. The cabin is very quiet thanks to ample sound absorption materials, an acoustic glass windshield and laminated side glass usually found in higher priced vehicles. The four-cylinder engine uses special engine mounts to reduce noise.
The interior is tasteful, with high-quality materials and supportive seats. The instrument panel's gray-on-gray graphics are pleasing, and its white accent lighting is wonderful at night, with nice ambient cockpit lighting.
Because the Chrysler 200 is smaller than many midsize cars, rear legroom suffers a bit, as does cargo space on hardtop models. Surprisingly, though, the convertible's trunk is relatively roomy, thanks to an efficient storage design for the drop-top.
Although the Chrysler 200 sedan is a perfectly capable vehicle, it's overshadowed by many models in the class that have been redesigned or refreshed in the past year or two, including the Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, and Toyota Camry. Other competitors worth considering include the Chevrolet Malibu, Kia Optima and Hyundai Sonata. Of all of these, the Chrysler 200 has the most old-school feel. Convertible competitors are less plentiful. The Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro are more performance-oriented. The Volkswagen Eos is pricier, but features a retractable hardtop.
The Chrysler 200 comes with a 5-year 100,000-mile powertrain warranty and is built at Chrysler's assembly plant in Sterling Heights, Michigan."
"The 2013 Chrysler 200 LX ($18,995) is powered by the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission. Standard equipment includes cloth upholstery, manually operated air conditioning, manually adjustable front seats with driver's lumbar support, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, cruise control, illuminated keyless entry, power door locks and windows, a, four-speaker sound system with CD player, steering wheel controls, 60/40 split folding rear seat, heated folding side-view mirrors and 17-inch steel wheels.
The Chrysler 200 Touring model ($21,995) upgrades to the 6-speed automatic transmission, automatic climate control, an eight-way power driver's seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, an eight-way power driver seat, a six-speaker sound system with satellite radio and automatic headlamps. Standard wheels are 17-inch alloys, with two 18-inch wheel designs optional. Touring Convertible models ($27,100) get six-way power front seats and a power cloth top.
Options include Chrysler's Uconnect handsfree system ($395) with Bluetooth streaming audio capability, USB port and auto-dimming rearview mirror with integrated microphone. An upgraded version ($695) adds a 6.5-inch touchscreen display with DVD player and 40 GB hard drive. The Cold Weather package ($295) adds heated front seats and remote start. The S exterior package ($495) includes 18-inch aluminum polished painted wheels, black finish grille and fog lamp bezels, projector fog lamps, black treatment headlamps, black inlay Chrysler badge and S badge.
Limited sedans ($24,685) and convertibles ($32,095) are powered by the V6 engine and mated to the 6-speed automatic transmission. Standard features include leather heated front seats, a six-speaker Boston Acoustics audio system and fog lamps. The S Package for Limited sedans ($495) includes leather-trimmed bucket seats and perforated leather steering wheel in addition to the exterior enhancements found on the S package for the Touring models.
The 2013.5 Chrysler 200 S Special Edition ($28,870) features interior appointments developed with Carhartt work clothes, premium leather seats, Boston Acoustic premium sound system, perforated leather-wrapped steering wheel, and special 18-inch wheels.
Chrysler 200 convertible S models ($32,595) include everything on the Limited plus heated leather seats with S embroidery, suede seat inserts and door trim bolster, a perforated leather steering wheel, a 276-watt Boston Acoustics sound system, black headlamp surrounds and fog lamp bezels, a black grille and 18-inch painted aluminum wheels.
Mopar, Chrysler's performance brand, offers sports suspension, special induction and exhaust pieces and other parts to improve handling and performance.
Safety equipment on all models includes advanced multistage front driver and passenger air bags, supplemental front-seat mounted air bags, side curtain airbags, active head restraints, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, electronic stability control, and electronic traction control, and tire pressure monitor."
Walk Around
"The Chrysler 200 is not a car that gathers second looks. It bears family resemblance to the Town and Country minivan, particularly noticeable in the headlamps, air intakes and front bumper. The Chrysler 200 front air dam is clean: low, thin, and horizontal. Its halogen headlights appear small from head-on, but flow around the front corners into the bulging fenders, creating a line that widens to the rear of the car. It's bold, but not fancy.
The rear deck lid looks chopped, with a chrome strip between LED taillamps and another chrome bar between the exhaust outlets that widens the look of the car. It bears a wing logo in brushed metal and blue."
"The Chrysler 200 cabin is nice, with seat coverings and trim that feel soft and luxurious. The seats feel supportive and should be comfortable for long periods behind the wheel.
Rear legroom measures just 36.2 inches, which is on the short side for a midsize car. Toyota Camry and Ford Fusion offer 38.3 inches of rear legroom, by comparison, though the Chrysler edges the Lexus ES, at 35.9. The rear seat is split 60/40 and folds down for more cargo space, which is always appreciated.
The instrument panel contains the usual three round gauges, with gray-on-gray graphics that are pleasing to the eye, while its white accent lighting is wonderful at night. The three-spoke steering wheel has a thick leather-wrapped rim and padded hub with controls for the sound system and cruise setting. Armrests are soft, and door pockets roomy. Some models have two USB ports, handy for phone and laptop charging.
The Chrysler 200 cabin is one of the quietest in the segment, thanks to sound absorption materials, an acoustic glass windshield, laminated side glass usually found in higher priced vehicles, and a special engine mounting setup for the 2.4-liter engine."
Driving Impressions
"The standard powerplant for the Chrysler 200 is the 173-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder world engine Chrysler shares with Mitsubishi and Hyundai. With dual variable valve timing, the power is good at both low and high rpm, and its 166 foot-pounds of torque are sufficient for the demands of its owners. The engine has proven itself reliable, over the years around the world, while delivering good gas mileage.
Fuel economy is an EPA-rated 20/31 mpg City/Highway with the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 6-speed automatic transmission in a Chrysler 200 Touring sedan.
In models equipped with the inline-4, we were impressed by how smooth and solid the 200 feels. Even the convertible feels like it's put together well. We noticed very little road noise, and the ride was smooth and solid. The Chrysler 200 also corners really well, with little body roll.
The 6-speed automatic transmission is seamless and not over-programmed. We strongly recommend it over the 4-speed automatic that comes standard on the base model.
The optional V6 engine makes 283 horsepower and 260 foot-pounds of torque. During our test drive we noticed some wind and tire noise at highway speeds. But this is the price you pay for more aggressive tires, and we wouldn't call it unbearable.
Using third and fourth gears on the mountain two-lanes, the V6-powered Chrysler 200 showed off its ample power and acceleration. According to Chrysler, the engine makes more than 90 percent of its peak torque from 1600 rpm all the way up to redline 6400, and our mountain driving supports that, as we had plenty of torque and acceleration coming off slow corners. The engine has a nice, powerful growl when it's working, and you can't hear it when it's not.
The V6 gives up very little to the four-cylinder in fuel mileage, with a strong EPA rating of 19/29 mpg City/Highway."
"The Chrysler 200 is a midsize car that offers exceptional value. Available in sedan and convertible versions, it's smooth and quiet and feels solid. Two excellent engines are available and both get good gas mileage, aided by the sweet 6-speed automatic transmission.
New Car Test Drive correspondents Laura Burstein, Sam Moses, and Jim McCraw contributed to this report."

RALEIGH - This wasn�t Southwest�s best effort this soccer season.
Still, the Stallions did enough Saturday to claim their first state title in program history.
RALEIGH - This wasn�t Southwest�s best effort this soccer season.
Still, the Stallions did enough Saturday to claim their first state title in program history.
Southwest got an early goal from Paul Bishop and most valuable player Nick Matics made 6 saves to help Southwest defeat Lake Norman Charter 2-0 in the NCHSAA 1-A championship game at Dail Soccer Stadium at N.C. State University.
The Stallions (14-2-2) won the title against the Knights (19-4-1) in their first trip to the finals after falling short in the East Regional final the past two years.
�To me, this just validates what I�ve known for a long time,� Southwest coach John Sweeney said. �We have championship-level players and championship-level people come to Southwest.�
This championship marked the third one for Sweeney, who has guided the Southwest girls� program to a pair of titles in three title game appearances. But there is nothing quite like the first one for the boys� program.
�I love every one of my teams and all the boys who have played for me,� Sweeney said. �But we live in a world where we judge things on wins and losses, and so it�s a great feeling for these guys to win this.�
Senior midfielder Markkel Bannerman agreed that this meant a lot to the Stallions.
�It feels amazing,� he said while holding the championship plaque. �We�ve worked hard all season. We wanted to do this for coach because he pushes us every day, and he never gave up on us and we never gave up on him. We also wanted to do it for the guys who played last year.�
And what a way to go out for Matics, a senior goalkeeper who kicked a pair of field goals on Friday night in Southwest�s 50-6 win over Northampton to advance to the 1-AA East Regional football finals.
�Just ending your soccer career with a win, it can�t be any better than that,� Matics said.
Early on, it looked as if the Stallions would run away in the championship game. Just two minutes in, senior forward Austin Tausch had a shot from inside the 18-yard box that bounced off the left post.
Southwest came out fired up and appeared to have the edge in the first few minutes.
That advantage paid off when Bishop scored an unassisted goal just 8:08 into the match. A Lake Norman Charter defender attempted to clear the ball away from his team�s 18, but the ball deflected off Bishop, who then dribbled for a few yards and shot the ball to the left post.
�I just made a run and the ball came to me,� Bishop said. �It played to my feet and I slid it to the short post.�
And what did Bishop think after giving the Stallions a 1-0 lead?
�We had to get another one,� he said, �because 1-0 wasn�t enough.�
It took the Stallions awhile to score again. Actually, Southwest didn�t extend its lead to 2-0 until there was 13:47 left in the game thanks to an own goal.
Tausch created the chance when he took the ball to the right corner before delivering a shot from inside the 18. The ball was blocked by goalkeeper Christian Hall, but he was unable to hold onto the ball, which squirted from his hands near the goal.
In an effort to clear the ball away, a defender instead kicked the ball into the goal.
�I was just at the right place at the right time,� Tausch said of how he got the ball. �I made my run, the ball was played to me and I shot at the goal. I was trying to shoot on frame.�
Besides Bishop's goal and Tausch�s shot that led to the own goal, the Stallions managed just 2 other shots on goal.
Southwest, which saw junior midfielder Zach Lisle suffer a knee injury in the first half, was limited in the midfield and wasn�t able to create much from the middle.
The Knights actually outshot the Stallions 7-4, including 5-2 in the first half.
�We couldn�t win 50-50 balls,� Bishop said.
Yet Southwest stayed in the lead thanks to what Matics said was a bend-don�t-break defense.
�It took an effort from the midfield and from the back,� he said.
Lake Norman Charter had a few dangerous looks. The Knights had a header after a corner kick hit the cross bar in the first half and an open shot in the 18 with 11:50 left in the game that was saved by Matics.
�We had a ton of opportunities,� Lake Norman Charter coach Justin Valenti said. �We just couldn�t put it in the back of the net.�
But overall the Stallions� backfield of juniors Nick Cameron, Triston Hartley and Alex Blake and sophomore Tracy Hall held their own against the Knights, who looked to leading scorers Evan Lucas and Lawson Owen.
�I think we came up big on defense on a number of occasions,� Sweeney said. �In the back, someone would run down to poke the ball away, or Nick coming up with big saves or Tracy Hall coming from the middle.�
Sweeney wasn�t surprised the Knights had an edge on the attack.
�I knew they were going to be tactically sound and a technically superior team,� he said. �I just knew we had to weather the storm.�
And in the end, not only did Southwest do that, the Stallions also emerged with their first state soccer title in program history.
�We ended with a state championship,� Matics said. �You can�t do better than that.�
Southwest 1 1 � 2
Home 0 0 � 0
GOALS�SW: Bishop, own goal. ASSISTS�SW: none. IN GOAL�SW: Matics (6 saves). LNC: Hall (2 saves). SHOTS ON GOAL�SW 4, LNC 7. CORNER KICKS�SW 1, LNC 6. RECORDS�SW 14-2-2, state 1-A champion. LNC 19-4-1, state 1-A runner-up.

Top 10 startup cities
1. Boulder
2. Fort Collins
3. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif.
4. Cambridge-Newton-Framingham, Mass.
5. Seattle, Wash.
6. Denver
7. San Francisco, Calif.
8. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-Va.-Md.
9. Colorado Springs
10. Cheyenne, Wyo.
Boulder is the top city for tech startups in the U.S, according to a joint report released today by research foundation Engine and the Missouri-based Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.
The report measured the density of tech startups — companies between 1 and 5 years old — and found that after adjusting for city size, Boulder had a tech startup formation rate six times the national average.
"In the case of Boulder, a startup community whose evolution I've observed and participated in closely over the past many years, the cultural and economic transformation has been extraordinary," Brad Feld, co-founder of Boulder's Foundry Group and the Boulder-based startup accellerator TechStars, said in the report.
"While there isn't one, definitive blueprint to building a technology industry, this research can hopefully inspire communities and policymakers to work together to ensure that the spread of high-tech entrepreneurship isn't just a trend, but a long-term phenomenon."
Boulder was one of four Colorado cities to place in the Top 10 in the report. Fort Collins came in second, Denver came in sixth and Colorado Springs came in ninth.

ALBANY, Ore. -- He was recently paid $7,000 for rolling three joints shaped like an AK-47, a golden gun and a hand grenade.
Tony Greenhand, of Albany, wouldn't tell KATU who bought those marijuana-filled blunts, only that he or she flew out from Miami to get them "for music people."
Greenhand is becoming well-known for his "smokeable art," which he doesn't just make for money, but for fun.
He said he made a joint shaped like the Pokemon character, Pikachu, for free.
Greenhand also sent KATU pictures of a pizza joint with 2 gram slices, a 20 gram menorah for the band, Flosstradomus, and a 4.2-pound watermelon joint, which he says is the current world record holder for largest joint smoked.
You can check out more of Greenhand's work yourself and contact him at his Instagram page or via Snapchat, where his handle is Tonygreenhand.

Ever since my last post about my previous 1968 Ford Bronco Bug Out Vehicle I've gotten tons of questions about my current BOV. I loved my former Bronco so much I opted again for another Bronco. My current one is a 1972. Below are some photos and specs.
As you can see, this one isn't as Mad-Max looking as the last. However, this Bronco has a 1987 Ford 302 Roller Cam Engine and it runs like a beast. It has way more power than the 289 in my other Bronco and I can feel it when I smash the gas pedal.
I've lifted this Bronco and opted for 16X10″ Custom Wheels with 315/75/16 Toyo Mud Terrain Tires.
Other than that, this old truck is pretty much stock. This truck also serves as my daily driver. I prefer older trucks mainly because they are easier for me to work on and I understand the mechanics more than modern engines. It's easy to keep spare parts on hand for when something goes wrong. I can fix most things on this Bronco with a screwdriver and a pair of pliers.
I've got plenty of cargo space on the inside – even with the jump seat in the back.
Overall, this is a really solid truck. I know it inside and out and completely trust it – especially in an off-road environment.
So there she is. No bells and whistles. If you've got any ideas for her – let me know. I would love to hear them. If you haven't read my post about the 5 Essential Elements of a BOV you should read it.

The Erie Sports Store collaborates with Gannon's Dahlkemper
School of Business on a new business plan.
Erie, PA; Gannon University Dahlkemper School of Business is
presenting the Erie Sports Store with a business proposal to be
announced May 1, 2013 from 12:30 until 3 p.m. in Waldron 219. The
Erie Sports Store approached Dr. Bruce Kibler, Management,
Assistant Professor, and his Business Policy class to help compose
a plan to increase the store's sales.
Dr. Kibler and his class focused on how to generate more sales
and local awareness of Erie Sports Store's Embroidery Department.
They created ideas as to how the Erie Sports Store could increase
capacity utilization of its employees and machinery. This first
team of students partnered and collaborated with Dr. Richard
Hauser, Finance, Assistant Professor, and his MBA class to divide
the business plan into two separate parts. Dr. Hauser's students
focused on the same part of the store, but are presenting on the
industry and the analysis of the Erie area's probable affluence on
any future return on investment and are focusing on it as a
portfolio management issue. This second team of students viewed the
plan as being written for a stand-alone business, rather than a
part of a larger business.
The Gannon students worked closely with the Erie Sports Store
throughout the entirety of the Spring 2013 semester to polish the
requirements for the project to meet the needs that will benefit
the store the most. They have compiled a plan that they believe
will increase the sales and understanding of this aspect of the
Erie Sports Store.
Students were required to sign a non-disclosure agreement, which
legally bound them to not disclose any information received or
created for the Erie Sports Store within the scope of the business
proposal. "This is a real life consultancy project based in the
Dahlkemper School of Business for an external for-profit
enterprise," said Dr. Kibler. Also involved in this project was
Tomorrow McDonald, acting as the overall project leader; Jacky
Panko, head of the marketing and advertising aspect; Margaret
Comport, head of the business operations; and Katelyn Kovacs, head
of accounting and finance for the project.
The presentation of the business proposal will take place in Waldron
219 on Gannon University's campus on May 1, 2013. The schedule of
the event is as follows:
12:30 - 1:20 p.m. - Networking, mingling and refreshments
1:30 -
3 p.m. - Presentation of the business plan
3 p.m. - Media interviews
Gannon University announces the launch of the Institute for Health and Cyber Knowledge (I-HACK).

The specter of radically rising flood insurance rates is one that could devastate real estate values throughout our region � and throughout the nation�s coastal areas.
The specter of radically rising flood insurance rates is one that could devastate real estate values throughout our region � and throughout the nation�s coastal areas.
A growing, bipartisan group of lawmakers is trying to get the federal government to readdress the issue to avoid the steep increases that would cause chaos here and elsewhere.
U.S. Rep. Walter B. Jones is the latest to add his voice to the choir demanding something be done to address this issue, which threatens to make flood insurance unavailable to many and in the process make real estate all but unsellable.
�At a time when the economy is struggling, we need to alleviate the financial burden that heightened rates are imposing on homeowners in Eastern North Carolina and across the country,� Jones said. He went on to point out that �these new rates, in some cases, are over 1,000 times higher than their predecessors and will harm the communities subjected to them�.�
Last year�s Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act, an attempt to make the National Flood Insurance Program financially sustainable, is meant to do so by requiring that NFIP charge flood insurance rates based on the actual risk of flooding and does away with subsidies for the coverage.
Meanwhile, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is in the process of updating the flood maps on which the risk factors are based. As they are updated, they are likely to show a great deal of Eastern North Carolina in or near flood zones, dramatically increasing the risk factor and the cost of insurance.
Altogether, the situation could spell disaster for Eastern North Carolina beach properties and other areas of the coastal plain.
What those in Congress are seeking makes sense. Before implementing the full system of changes, make sure it doesn�t devastate people�s property values and make insurance unaffordable for the very people who need it the most.
Making flood insurance costs more accurately represent the risks various places face is a common sense reform. Making the coverage unaffordable, though, is simply inviting financial disaster.
Congress, FEMA and the NFIP have to work together to forge a better alternative.

ISLAMABAD — On city streets in Pakistan, a curious sight has appeared in recent days: posters bearing the faces of the country's two most powerful generals that profess love for the military and its spying arm.
Lamp posts, street signs and cars carry the banners, which bear mottos like: "A traitor of Pakistan army is a traitor of the country" and "We love Pakistan army and ISI," referring to its Inter-Services Intelligence wing.
The mystery signs arrived in Pakistan as its powerful military faces off with the country's largest private television station over allegations that its forces were behind a shooting that seriously wounded one of its top anchors. But behind the chanting demonstrations and garish loyalty posters lies the deep challenge confronting Pakistan: Where does power lie in this country that's undergone three military coups since independence, with its army or its nascent civilian government?
The controversy started last Saturday when gunmen opened fire on Hamid Mir, an anchor for Geo News, wounding him six times. After the shooting, his journalist brother appeared on Geo and blamed the ISI for the shooting while the station showed a photo of its chief, Lt. Gen. Zaheerul Islam. The station repeatedly aired the accusations and blamed the ISI for the "assassination attempt" against Mir.
The Defense Ministry then petitioned government regulators to remove Geo from the air — a decision that's likely to come in early May. The station then reported that it's signal was blocked in areas of the country as small rallies supporting the military began. Last week, the posters began appearing, some with the ISI leader on them.
Their origin is a mystery. Some said they were from the people of Islamabad, the capital. Others mentioned a Pakistani religious figure. Some listed the All Traders Welfare Association, a little-known trade group in the capital, headed by a man named Furqan Murtaza.
When reached by The Associated Press, Murtaza denied that any government or military agency encouraged his campaign.
"This is an expression of public sentiment," he said.
Generally, people have to get permission before hanging posters and banners in the capital and pay a fee. An official from the Capital Development Authority, which manages Islamabad, said the agency did not receive any requests to hang the posters, though it's common for people to do it without permission. He spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to journalists.
The military did not respond to requests for comment. An ISI official, speaking on condition of anonymity as he wasn't authorized to discuss the agency publicly, said it was not responsible for the campaign.
The poster push comes as Pakistan, a country of 180 million that was carved out of India in 1947, last year saw its first civilian government finish a full five-year term and transfer power in democratic elections. Previously, military coups and other political turmoil prevented that. But even now, journalists face dangers reporting stories, the Taliban continue to be a threat and the military remains a powerful institution in nuclear-armed Pakistan.
Rasul Baksh Rais, who heads the Islamabad-based Institute for Strategic Studies, said the posters reflect a larger sentiment in a society where many people still respect the military and feel Geo went too far in their criticism. He compared it to the same nationalist pride that sees images of Field Marshal Ayub Khan, who took power in a 1958 coup, or air force jets decorate the sides of cargo trucks in the country.
But on the streets, the posters seemed to do little to sway public opinion.
"I don't have time to read these banners and listen to radio and TV," said Ghulam Hasan, 46. "No common man has time to pay attention to these things. They are always worried about how to meet their expenses."
Hasan added: Those in charge "have no time to solve people's problems."

As a part of the change from one administration to another and in response to the 2008 food price crisis which led to an increase in the number of hungry in the world to over 1.1 billion people, the U.S. State Department followed up on the commitment made at the G-8 Summit in L'Aquila to raise "more than $20 billion to support a renewed global effort" to reduce world hunger by developing a consultation document called "Global Hunger and Food Security Initiative" http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/130164.pdf.
The document recognizes that "chronic hunger and under-nutrition primarily results from poverty — people who are poor often simply cannot afford to buy food. Hungry families spend over half their income to buy the food they need to survive, with little to fall back on."
But before looking at local food production issues, public agricultural research, reduction of post-harvest loss, role of women, and sustainability, the flow of the argument quickly shifts to trade: "Food often cannot travel from surplus to deficit regions within and across countries because of poor roads and barriers at the border and checkpoints along the way."
No one is arguing that moving food from food surplus regions to food deficit regions is not a good idea. It is, but first things first. It all begins with small holder farmers producing sufficient food to feed their families. Marketing of food surpluses comes next. On these issue, the State Department document comes up short. In some sense the document provides a 30,000-feet view of U.S. intentions without the kind of specificity on the producer side that is likely to result in increased production in the target countries.
Later on we read, "Agribusinesses are a crucial connection between small-scale producers and markets to purchase inputs and sell products. They are the link between producers and consumers through which handling, storage, processing, market information, transportation, and product distribution services are delivered."
A later bulleted point reads: "Create an enabling policy environment for agribusiness growth. Frequent and unpredictable public intervention in the agricultural sector deters private investment and limits the ability of farmers and businesses to access capital. Companies function best when regulations are transparent, mechanisms exist to enforce contracts, and policies are predictable.
The U.S. will contribute to strengthening enabling policy environments for growth by improving the ability of governments to collect and analyze market information, training private sector trade associations in how to engage local and national governments, and pressing for reductions in government controls on commodity prices."
While the document is strong on the needs of developing and protecting agribusinesses, it says little about protecting developing country farmers' traditional access to both agricultural land and pastoral lands – the latter often is seen as empty because the pastoralists only use the land on a seasonal basis. Without stable access to their traditional lands, farmers and pastoralists are often displaced by large foreign-owned enterprises that have the capital necessary to produce products for export markets.
While the document has significant shortcomings in its excessive concern for protecting a role for agribusiness, and focus on trade before looking at production issues, the paper also makes some important points.
The document calls to attention the role that women play and can play in improving agricultural output in developing countries. "Many countries overlook the ability of women to drive agriculture-led growth. As a result, women often have limited access to agricultural inputs and financial services and face legal or social constraints to owning land. Economic output could be increased by 15 percent to 40 percent and under-nutrition reduced by 15 million children simply by providing women with assets equal to those of men."
In the paper the U.S. State Department notes, "Gains in productivity come primarily from increases in yields, more efficient use of labor, mitigation of risk, improved links to market, and adoption of improved technologies and production practices. Gains in productivity must be made at a time of dwindling natural resources, increasing water scarcity, and a changing climate.
This calls for careful attention to protecting the natural resource base, better management of water resources, and adapting agricultural production systems – crops, livestock, and fisheries – to a changing environment."
Toward the end of the paper, the authors make four points:
• Prevention through community-based programs: Evidence indicates that improving nutrition during pregnancy and the first two years of life provides the maximum benefit to health, education, productivity, and efforts to reduce poverty. We will implement programs that improve maternal nutrition, provide targeted nutrient supplementation, and encourage appropriate infant feeding.
• Diet quality and diversification: Food-based approaches to combat under-nutrition and prevent illness are cost-effective, sustainable, and income-generating. We will support approaches such as homestead food production, fortification of foods during processing, and research to improve the nutritional content of staple foods.
• Community management of acute under-nutrition: A successful approach for managing acute malnutrition will include timely detection of under-nutrition, outpatient treatment for the 80 percent of children without complications, and inpatient treatment for the remaining 20 percent with complications. We will support the integration of this successful model into national policies and health systems. We will also invest in innovative new approaches and products in partnership with the private sector to treat acute under-nutrition.
• Improve nutritional value of food aid commodities: We will work to increase the nutritional benefit of U.S. food assistance programming to ensure that we do not miss the opportunity to support the longer-term health and development of those receiving emergency assistance.
We hope that in the revision of this document, the U.S. State Department will provide additional focus on the circumstances, skills, and needs of small holder agriculturalists and pastoralists, recognizing that the characteristics of agriculture are different from those of the manufacturing and service sectors.
Also, food reserves are not mentioned. It is extremely important to do all that can be done to increase the productivity of small-holder farmers. But the irregular rains and other disruptions to production will still occur. To us that would suggest that the creation of grain/staples reserve programs should be right up there with efforts to enhance farmer-productivity and probably precede implementation of many of the other programs.

BOSTON — A friend says James "Whitey" Bulger was taken to a hospital recently for an irregular heartbeat, at least his third trip to a hospital since the reputed mobster was captured in 2011.
Richard Sunday says he received a letter from 83-year-old Bulger saying he was taken to a hospital Feb. 12 for atrial fibrillation.
After being examined, Bulger was returned to the Plymouth Country Correctional Facility, where he is awaiting a June trial. Bulger, the former leader of the Winter Hill Gang, is charged with participating in 19 murders.
Sunday says Bulger wrote in his letter, "exercise is over for me" and "this is the end of the trail for me." The two served time together at Alcatraz.
The Boston Globe first reported Bulger's latest trip to the hospital.

Green, supportive housing for veterans should become a national model
Kaid Benfield's Blog
If anyone deserves our thanks, appreciation, and support, it has to be veterans of the armed forces, many of whom serve at great risk and with honor only to return to civilian life devoid of much in the way of income, housing, or social services. A shocking portion are homeless: veterans make up around 9 percent of our population but 23 percent of our homeless population. Veterans comprise fully a third of our homeless men. The federal Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that 107,000 veterans are homeless on any given night.
There are people doing something about it in Milwaukee, however, where the locally-based Center for Veterans Issues has teamed with local affordable housing builder Cardinal Capital Management to create a new, 52-unit apartment building just for veterans. Called Veterans Manor, the new homes have been designed to green standards in a walkable neighborhood (rated a "very walkable" 72 on Walk Score), with an east-west transit line right at the front door and a north-south line across the street.
Onsite counselors from CVI allow residents quick and easy access to support and guidance. In addition, the facility features a commercial kitchen cooking 22,000 meals weekly for local schools, according to Sam Newberg's Joe Urban blog, while offering training for the veterans in the food service industry. The kitchen, which also cooks for residents, is operated by the nonprofit Milwaukee Center for Independence. The Center's training program includes both classroom training and daily functional work activity. Soon to come is a bistro-style Troop Cafe that will offer meals to the community.
According to the Veterans Manor website, the project includes "very energy efficient" heating & cooling, thermopane windows, low-VOC paints and carpets, a white roof that reflects summer heat, and green cabinets and countertops built with green materials, rating a score of 92 of 100 possible points on a "Green Built" standard. There is also a fitness center, free high-speed internet, a business center, and community rooms. All utilities are included in the rent, which is priced to be affordable to individuals making 60 percent of area median income.
Newberg reports that there were NIMBY issues (sigh), but they were overcome. He believes, and I agree, that the project could become a model for communities across the country:
"Veterans Manor was not without its concerns among neighbors, but an open and proactive relationship with surrounding property owners won the day ultimately.
"The 52 units were filled within 90 days. Residents are almost all men, aged 38 to 78, with an average of two to four years in the military. The developers were expecting more retired veterans who were working and independent, but most require some kind of services. Most interesting was [Cardinal Capital president Erich] Schwenker's comment that it would be very satisfactory if current residents [remained] there (at Veterans Manor). He explained the expectation in the social service provider world that people eventually 'move up' to have a family and live in a nice single-family suburban home. In Schwenker's opinion, if Veterans Manor is where residents plateau, that is a victory, because it is a nice place to live and it beats conditions and lifestyles these veterans are coming from. In fact, Joe Thomae of Cardinal Capital explains that some tenants were crying tears of joy when they signed their lease."
A notice posted on the website of the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority says that financing for Veterans Manor was made possible by the Authority's award of $1.1 million in Affordable Housing Tax Credits resulting in over $6.8 million of equity to assist in development efforts. The Center for Veterans Issues and Cardinal Capital also received a $1.8 million federal loan to address equity financing gaps for the tax credits.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Albuquerque Firm's Management Directed and Encouraged the Abuse of Over 50 Male Employees for More Than a Decade, Federal Agency Charged
ALBUQUERQUE -- Pitre Inc., an Albuquerque car dealership on Eagle Ranch Road, has agreed to settle a same-sex sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employ-ment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for over $2 million and a very strong consent decree, the agency announced today.
In its lawsuit, the EEOC charged a former lot manager, James Gallegos, under the direction of Charles Ratliff, Jr., then general manager, with subjecting a class of men to egregious forms of sexual harassment, including shocking sexual comments, frequent solicitations for oral sex, and regular touching, grabbing, and biting of male workers on their buttocks and genitals. The EEOC also alleged that Pitre retaliated against male employees who objected to the sexually hostile work environment. During the pendency of the lawsuit, the retaliatory actions of Pitre raised such concern that a U.S. District Court judge granted a preliminary injunction against Pitre, prohibiting the dealership and all of its agents from threatening or engaging in retaliatory actions against case participants [Docket No. 46].
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on sex, which includes harassment of individuals of the same sex. When an employer disciplines, terminates, or takes other punitive measures against an employee for objecting to workplace discrimination, the employer further violates Title VII's anti-retaliation provision. The EEOC filed suit, EEOC v. Pitre Inc. d.b.a. Pitre Buick/Pontiac, CIV No. 11-00875 BB/CG, in U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
This case represents the largest litigation settlement in the history of the EEOC's Albuquerque Area Office. Over 50 men are expected to receive relief through the decree. In addition to the substantial monetary relief, the decree prohibits Pitre from discriminating or retaliating against its employees, and requires Pitre to have policies and practices that will provide its employees with a work environment free of sexual harassment and retaliation, evaluate their managers on their compliance with anti-discrimination laws, and hire a monitor to oversee its efforts to provide a harassment-free workplace. Pitre must also provide regular anti-discrimination training to its employees and managers, and report other discrimination complaints to the EEOC for the duration of the decree.
"This settlement serves to remedy the egregious sexual harassment that the EEOC alleged the men were subjected to by Pitre," said EEOC General Counsel David Lopez. "It also raises awareness that all employees, male and female, are entitled to work in an environment free of sexual harassment and retaliation."
Regional Attorney Mary Jo O'Neill of the EEOC's Phoenix District Office said, "Managers cannot promote and encourage illegal sexual harassment or retaliation in workplaces. Where managers fail to maintain an environment free of discrimination, it is the employer's responsibility to correct the violations and prevent other violations from occurring. As emphasized by the preliminary injunction, men who have the courage to complain must not suffer retaliation for their efforts to prevent further harassment."
EEOC Senior Trial Attorney Christina Vigil added, "It is shocking that such egregious harass-ment could have continued under the nose of management for over ten years. The debilitating stigma that is still attached to male sexual harassment cases made it difficult for men to come forward to report. However, a couple of brave men did come forward, which is what has helped resolve the issues in this workplace."
Albuquerque Area Director Derick Newton said, "Unfortunately, in New Mexico, we continue to see many serious cases of sexual harassment and retaliation. Employers have a legal duty to stop all sexual harassment and they must never retaliate against the brave employees who speak up and report this sort of misconduct."
The EEOC was represented by EEOC trial attorneys Christina Vigil and William Moench.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.
