2013 Kia Optima SXL Verdict
Not bad looking, too bad it probably won't sell any better than the MKZ.
3800 - 4000 lbs, 240hp. 0-60 --- ?
Article says that MKC is quick, but no data.
What does that mean.
What Lincoln needs to concentrate on - beyond styling and fit & finish of materials, is uniqueness. Making the tailgate in two sections like station wagons of years gone by would have been a great addition for picnic parties at games, the polo matches and the Belmont. Range Rover does this JUST for that reason.
Congratulations to Lincoln on fielding a second competitive product. Now get hot on a RWD Flagship before this gets rebadged as an "aspirational" Escape (after Lincoln is taken behind the barn like Mercury).....
I like the wrap around tailgate, but really Paddle shifters, but no physical shifter? Lincoln could have probably saved some pennies on that touch. Approach lighting? After a long term test with Nissan Pathfinder, I do not recall this being mentioned, but we'll give kudos to Lincoln?
The front of the Lincoln MKC looks some what like the Volkswagen Tiguan and the back looks like a Porsche Macan. I wish it was more unique but I am blown away with Lincoln on the MKC.
If I were PR for Lincoln I would beg that a different photo were used on the front page. That beak!
Audi should sue, this is a rebadged Q5, it's the US, Lincoln not china!
"MKEYMOUSE." Funny. It reminds me of the days that cars had actual names, instead of the letter soup that make up vehicle names these days, though it goes without saying that none of them were as dopey (get it!) as that.
Actually, there are two USB ports up front, and an ambient light illuminates the space from above..
like everything about this SUV, except the six speed transmission. Even Chrysler has more speeds nowadays. 7 should have been the minimum.
Yeah and if you open the trunk, you have no rear lights left to be seen...that's just stupid and unsafe.
The wife and I are in fact cross shopping this with the X3. We are leaning toward the MKc because it is quieter and more comfortable...
Needs better wheel design options.
still, a fully competitive offering...
Bravo to Ford for listening to the market feedback and making good.
MKZ is also a contender.
Bring us that RWD V8 platform and a proper MKS successor and the glory days will prevail again.
NIce looking, especially from the back. The MKZ is growing on me too.
I just don't like the American luxury nameplates sailing into rough, competitive waters without a proper flagship.
I can't wait to get my hands on one! And to those who say it's just a fancy Ford, let me remind them that a Lexus is just a fancy Toyota, an infiniti is just a fancy Nissan, yada yada yada.
The main problem is that it is still, like the Escape, a rear-wheel drive based design, so has the inherent flaws in handling, braking, and looks (too much vehicle beyond the front axle line, front wheels too far back). I care far more about the functional aspects, but it is interesting that somebody from the Ford executive offices called me a few years ago and though that my desire for rear wheel drive was ONLY based on the appearance problems of front wheel drive designs. With Mallaly gone, maybe Fields will finally move Ford back to rear wheel drive. That is the key functional feature which Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW share. At least they kept the Mustang rear wheel drive, instead of making it some sort of two door Fusion.
It seems pretty well done. The only clear carry-over from the Escape is the rear bumper and exhaust.
SUV's with the same mileage as the 2.3 are the GLK350, X3 3.0, Q5 3.0, XC70 3.2, RX350, MDX, QX60, and Cherokee 3.2 Active Drive II. The GLK, X3, and MDX have more HP but less torque, the Q5, XC70, RX350, QX60 and Cherokee have less of both. I would say the 2.3 is competitive, but is lacking in HP compared with the best in class.
For the 2.0 the competition is the X3 2.0, Q5 2.0, Evoque, RDX,and Cherokee 3.2 Active Drive I. The RDX and Cherokee have more HP but less torque. The X3 and Evoque have the same HP but less torque, the Q5 has less of both. Again it is competitive, but lacking in HP compared with the best in class.
The EB engines make Lincoln the torque winner, while Acura outshines them in HP with both engines.
Be still my beating heart...did an automotive journalist just compliment MLT (which is also MFT)? Ford has made many strides with that system and try as I might, I cannot find another layout that I like more. Hopefully this vehicle can start Lincoln on the path back to success.
Impressive and very competitive. I think Lincoln has a winner on their hands.
Great vehicle! I do agree that I don't like how the IP juts out at the bottom. However, overall, looks to be a darn fine quality piece.
I wonder if anyone would cross shop this with the new Volvo V60. Although the XC60 is the more logical competitor, the V60 has almost the same interior volume but sacrifices a good chunk of cargo - roughly 10cf with all seats down. And it is not jacked up high which most CUV buyers want. However, it also has a 240hp turbo like the base MKC but gets 25/37 compared to 20/29 MPG for the FWD models. That's a pretty significant difference. Volvo even has the same towing capacity. Wagons. Gotta love them!
Priced a little under the RDX but at the same time, the RDX offers more room (like the Escape, the MKC gives up a bit in terms of rear passenger/cargo room).
At the same time, the MKC seems to be a bit sportier than the RDX, but most CUV buyers really don't care about that kind of thing.
I'd take this over the Buick Encore all day long.
Looks great at an angled view from the front (which exaggerates the size of the front like in the Lincoln advertisement above) but from the side the hood looks too small compared to the rest of the vehicle… like the Tiguan for example… also… I'm not digging how the rear door/trunk is not better integrated to the rest of the vehicle.
Otherwise, a Lincoln that I can finally recommend to my friends and family.
I posted on the MKC over 12hrs ago, and then Left Lane comes out with this!
Maybe not all is lost at Lincoln~~~~~~~> If they're serious.
A luxury platform of an Escape.... Here we go.
In Japan only 3% of Toyota's total sales go to Lexus. Why? Because the Japanese are smart enough to know that an overpriced Toyota is still a Toyota. Here in the US those stray Lexus models that don't look familiar, actually are elsewhere.
Care to guess what percentage of Ford's sales are for Lincoln in the US?
@Andres Conde Bosch Six speeds are fine for the lower priced MKC models, although I would agree that the more premium trim levels need at least an 8 speed.
@Mo48 Did you happen to pay attention to the rear bumper?? You might notice the LED lights on each side.
Cadillac will be getting one soon and that's just not in Lincoln's gameplan for the forseeable future.
@stevek46 Infiniti, not as much, they have slightly different engines, and most if not all are rear drive base with awd option. Now, Acura, there's that fancy Civic to deal with...
@Stephen Masek
Actually it is a FWD based model, not a RWD model...
@dfschim there is much more to a vehicle that raw HP. The X3 and Q5, with their upgraded engines hit 0-60 in 5.8 sec and the Q5 broke from 60mph in 109 feet. We owned a Q5 with the 3.0t and it was a fantastically well put together vehicle. I friend of ours owns an Escape and it felt narrow in comparison. The GLK uses a 7 speed transmission and the X3 and Q5 use an 8 while the Cherokee (I would not compare this to the others) uses a 9 speed. If Lincoln want to be serious about stealing market share away from the founded competitors then it is going to have to one-up them not play catch-up. When we purchased the Q5, we test drove the XX90, X3, RDX and GLK and my favorite was the GLK but we chose the Q5 for the extra space. Today, I would, without a doubt, buy the MDX over the others. The bottom line is Lincoln did good with this but that is not good enough.
@lray801 Only thing that I haven't liked about it in the past, and present, is the redundancy of it all, if you're going to do it, go all in, get rid of all of the separate controls
@lray801 I just switched from driving acuras/hondas to a new Ford Explorer and I'm blown away by the tech it has in XLT trim even. Features not on my acura include turn-by-turn directions in the speedo screens, ability to replay Sirius stations and set alerts for songs/artists I like, inflatable seatbelts, rear parking sensors that draw warning blocks on the backup camera screen for objects in their path, curve control, backup sensors for vehicles approaching from the side.
I can understand where previous versions of MFT might have been aggravating, but so was my Accord when it would decide to stop playing XM stations or our Odyssey when the nav screen would get stuck and would only unstick after a restart.
I've quickly learned to navigate MFT w/ nav and I wouldn't want to go back to what's in our Acura. Even my iphone works more reliably. In my Acura, it often hangs up on Siri before I can say a command. I've had to use the hold-the-button-down feature in IOS 7 to keep that from happening.
The RDX has no towing capacity so it kills it for me as I need to tow a 2000lb fishing boat occasionally...
@Chase300 Let's just compare a Land Cruiser and a Mini??? WTF I hated this as a salesperson, Everybody always compares cars that aren't even in the same class, family included, my cousin is comparing an Explorer to and Equinox???
@Chase300 The Buick Encore is not even in the same class and it starts at 25k at 168 inches long. It's not even an suv when you really look at it.
@mopar_srt As much as Id LOVE to see a RWD sedan done off the Mustang platform, the bean-counters have the final say, as always. Im not holding my breath on this one; it's only speculation right now anyway.
I'll believe the scuttle-but when prototypes start getting photo'd. Until then, it's bathroom wall rumor is all.
Double thumbs up and thanks for sharing the article. Mirror Audi and you can't go wrong.
Perhaps that's because Toyota sells them as Toyotas over there for the most part? Like how an Accord in the UK is a TSX over here? In any case, a Lexus isn't just a restyled Toyota with a higher price. Even the ES, which is just a fancied up Camry, makes a big jump in luxury and tech options. But other models (IS, GS, LS) are completely unique to Lexus, at least in the U.S.
But at the same time, Lexus's best sellers are off FWD Toyota platforms and the same goes for the entire Acura lineup.
@Trooper_Bri Isn't the Evoque also using the same engine and platform?
Not too long ago, what we would call a Lexus was branded a Toyota in Japan. Maybe the sales of Lexus is low in Japan because they still sell the same exact vehicle or perhaps a previous gen as a Toyota?
@bdean @PrydeWater Then again, it doesn't appear that Lincoln is dressed to dive into the deep waters of competition. Instead they choose to remain in the shallow end of the pool, as if saying you're Michael Phelps–by taunting Cadillac in your commercials–were the same thing as actually beating him in a race.
They need to stick with Buick and Lexus. And even then, they're barely able to keep up.
@car_enthusiast @dfschim
The difference in acceleration is 8 speed trans vs 6 speed....
@dhan219 @Chase300 Correct, not a proper comparison. Cadillac SRX would be.
@Zack Kibler @Trooper_Bri
Pretty much all Lexus models are sold as Lexus in Japan now.
And if anything, the RLX, much less the new TLX, has more luxury and technology than the ES.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' offense took a hit when wide receiver Mike Wallace went deep to South Beach this summer in free agency. The rest of the division arguably got better while the Steelers did little to improve.
Steelers icon Jerome Bettis had some harsh words for his former team.
"The question mark in the division is the Steelers," Bettis said on the "Dave Dameshek Football Program" from the American Century Championship at Lake Tahoe, Calif. "How will they perform? Will they be able to run the football? Will the defense be able to stay intact? They've got some questions that need to be answered, so right now if I had to step out of my body and give a prediction I'd say the edge goes to Cincinnati, then Baltimore, then Pittsburgh, then Cleveland."
The Baltimore Ravens watched their team and iconic defense get stripped down after winning the championship, but some front office work on the fly put together a unit that has the Ravens feeling confident.
"They still have to learn how to win. They don't know how to win yet," Bettis told Dameshek. "And I think that's the one Achilles heel if you had to think of anything, that's going to be the Achilles heel, they really don't know how to win a big game."

TEAMS: New England Patriots
Whether it's Google Glass, iPhones or whatever the latest technological innovation is these days, miniature video cameras have made it easy to bring even the most obscure activity to your computer. NFL teams are now scrambling to figure out ways the new technologies can help them gain an advantage before the season starts. While Rex Ryan is flipping a coin between Smith or Sanchez, Bill Belichick — one of the great NFL innovators over the past decade or so — has been utilizing the miniature technology with the New England Patriots by installing tiny cameras on the helmets of the quarterbacks during training camp for the past week or so —including Tom Brady. "It's something we haven't done before so we'll take a look at it and see how effective it is or what we can get out of it," coach Bill Belichick said Sunday. "I'm not sure exactly how effective that will or won't be but it's something we're trying that's a little bit new. We'll see how it goes." Probably thinking back to Spygate, that was all anyone got out of Belichick when questioned further about the use of the secret agent-type technology during camp. Not surprisingly, the helmet cam provides an interesting perspective (think Go-Pro) that can give coaches insight into exactly what a quarterback is seeing as he goes through his pre-snap and post-snap motions. It sounds like a amazing tool to help rookie QBs adjust to reading pro defenses. With aerial views, miked-up players and halftime locker room cams being mandated this season, why limit the little spy-cams to preseason practice? How long before networks put these gizmos on position players' helmets for a true NFL experience during games? Oops. Forgot about that whole XFL thing.

As an aside, I'm going to point out that steeper ratings are to be expected. From 60 to 70, more rating was needed to cap. From 70 to 80, more rating was needed to cap. This is just the way it works. Now, onto my response:
We had to make choices about hit and crit back when Naxx was the thing to do. We don't have those kinds of easy choices any more in ICC because of poor planning on itemization, resulting in having to radically change your gear just to fit one new piece in. As such, I don't see the logic holding.
Basically, Blizzard just plain screwed up on itemization. They can blame Sartharion and the hard modes allllll they want, but it's all bologna. Chill of the Throne, or reduced dodge chance to compensate for tank gear having too much dodge rating, is not the result of poor planning of hard mode loot on the outset of WotLK. If this were true, how do you explain Sunwell Radiance? TBC had no hard modes to blame. It's all due to Blizzard's mindset for "better gear" is "gear with higher numbers EVERYWHERE," resulting in itemization and inflated values.
This is how itemization should work (on one piece of example gear).
t11.10: 60 hit/crit/dodge/haste/etc, 150 stam/int/str/etc
t11.25: 60 hit/crit/dodge/etc, 165 stam/int/etc
t12.10: 70 hit/etc, 170 stam/etc
t12.25: 70 hit/etc, 185 stam/etc
Staggering gains like that would have prevented Chill of the Throne, and Blizzard didn't do that. I know Blizz isn't going to do this for Cataclysm, because then they wouldn't need to make ratings "much harder to cap."
Here's how ratings are going to play out (again, on one piece of example gear):
t11.10: 65 rating, 155 stats
t11.25: 70 rating, 162 stats
t12.10: 73 rating, 163 stats
t12.25: 78 rating, 174 stats
They're going to just increase EVERYTHING, as they have always done. We'll be going into Deathwing's Lair (or wherever he makes himself home) with a 35% reduction to dodge chance.
Also, reforging is going to aid in the capping of stats. Take away all your newfound stamina and put it into your ratings. Casters (and melee DPS) should not need tank-levels of health for raiding; All that stamina exists for the sole purpose of reforging it into combat ratings.
I'm calling it now, we'll be capped on hit before 4.1 comes out, and the itemization inflation will start all over again.

Gran Turismo 5 will either revolutionize the car racing video game genre or it will be fail to live up to the Titan-like expectations the public has given it. That's it. After yet another push-back release date, Gran Turismo 5 has lost the middle ground. While it's conceivable that Sony is still tinkering with GT5's system to ensure that fans of the racing franchise get their money's worth, you can't blame these same fans for their ever-shortening patience given that Sony has, apparently, delayed the release of the driving simulation game once again.
This time, it was Al Dia, CEO of Sony Entertainment Portugal, who revealed to the Spanish site Canarias that Sony is now aiming to ship out GT5 before Christmas. By our account, that's about the fifth time the game's release date has been moved. First, it was the fall of 2009, then Christmas 2009, then March of 2010, then summer of 2010, and now it's "shortly before Christmas"?
Before you know it, the polar ice caps would have already melted, Seth Green would have already won an Academy Award and still GT5 won't have been released yet. In their defense, Sony is saying that the "priority is to make this game with the best quality as possible". Fair enough. But for the last time, please don't give 'target release dates' unless you're completely sure. Otherwise, gamers that have waited ages for GT5 to be released just might find Forza 3 a little more appealing.
At least that game's already been released.

This is a staple for me. Non-reactive. Thick. Moisturizing. The best hand cream and it's dirt cheap. I have tubs of this everywhere (home, work, handbag).
More reviews by YellowroseofTexas
Love this stuff. I don't use it on my face but I do use it on my legs, arms and hands. I'm a DDD and we get ashy, especially in the winter. This keeps the dry ashy look at bay. I don't notice the greasy feel that others describe. Just very moisturizing and emollient. Super cheap and long lasting. My DH and 3 kids use it and it still takes months to use a container. A staple in my home. Oh, Walmart has an equate dupe that is great. Either is a winner.
I started using this product Sunday, as in almost a week ago. Within 3 days, an extremely dry,thick,rough patch had gone completely from the palm of my hand. My hand was smooth and soft after 4 months of suffering with this situation. I discovered this product by reading MUA reviews before i purchase anything new. I want to give back by sharing my experience with Eucerin. I would highly recommend this for any dry skin crisis. It really does work wonders.

My dermatologists always recommend Eucerin, especially since I used to have eczema. It's supposed to be one of the best. However, I hate how Eucerin feels on my skin. Even though it's supposed to be effective, it feels so greasy that I'd actually prefer not to use it.
More reviews by snugglebunnyjm
This stuff is AMAZING! I'm a pale WASPy/Irish girl with the lightest, most sensitive skin you can possibly imagine, and I think I've foudn my HG! I've had slight laugh lines since I was a teenager, and while my mother swears that nobody else would ever notice them, *I* don't like them. She recommended I try some of her Eucerin, and it's great. My eyes look so much better after two days! I bought a big tub of this for $8. I rub a little on my eyelids and underneath my eyes before I apply my makeup and before I go to bed. The consistency is viscous, so if you put it on in the morning, you'll need to wait awhile before applying shadow and liner.

Absolutely love this stuff! Heals everything and keeps my skin baby soft.
This product is great. I am a skincare freak. This is best used before bed, because it is pretty greasy. I put a think mask of it on before I go to bed, and I wake up and my skin is toned and settled. I have very sensitive skin. This cream and Cetaphil moisturizing cream are my go-to's for basic facial moisturizing.
This is a staple for those days when skin reacts to everything, acting like a stroppy attention-seeking toddler. It calms, soothes, moistens. All over. A tub is kept under the kitchen sink at all times.
I'm reviewing Eucerin's Extra Protective Moisture Lotion SPF 30.
I use this for the SPF 30. Most times I find SPF's of 8 to 25 but I like as much as I can get so I tried this. It's my HG moisturizer and sunscreen in one. My skin is oily, sometimes acne-prone but I'm in my 40's so I worry about sun damage and wrinkles. This product is light, absorbs well and doesn't feel sticky or leave a white cast on my face. I like the pump action and I usually only need two to four pumps depending on what kind of sun exposure I'll be getting that day. It spreads well and dries quickly. It's just enough moisture and I'm happy about the level of protection I get. I use it every day and really feel I'm protecting my skin from sun even when I'm not directly out in the sun such as when I'm in the car or near a window. Maybe I'll put off those wrinkles for a few years!

For over 10 years I have had problems w/itching in my ear & over the last few years I've develped scaley itchy skin on the outer part of my right ear. The itching was so bad that I would scratch my ears raw when I was sleeping. & over the last month have had dry itchy skin on my jawline. During my yearly physical, my doctor recommended I get Eucerin cream for my face & body & switch to Dove unfragranced soap. He prescribed an anti-itch lotion for my ears. On a whim I decided to try the Eucerin on my ears too. W/in two day it had worked wonders. Most of the scaley skin had disappeared an itching was at a minimum. It's been 4 days now & the scaling is GONE. I keep using it on my ears & on my jawline. The texture is a bit wierd it's like a cross between marshmallow topping & taffy. It's very thick & sticky. But I'm getting used to it.
I'd definatly buy this stuff again! I'm just mad that this stuff has been available almost all my life & I've suffered for over 10 years because I had no idea what a miracle worker this stuff is.

The Hennepin County Library Board met on Wednesday, February 26, 1997 at the Plymouth Community Library.
|Patti Baskin, President
Jack Cole
Marilyn Jackson
Richard Mueller
Carol Walsh
Louise Wyly
Bob Zaragoza
|Brown, Engberg, Bonner, Charles, Chisenhall, Cramer, Fischer, Friedrich, Harris, Kalinka, Kinney, Kritzler, Malby, Muchow, Worwa, Ahrens, Berg.
|Mary White
President Baskin called the meeting to order and introduced the two new Board members--Carol Walsh and Richard Mueller and other Board members introduced themselves. A couple of housekeeping items: 1) Library Board member volunteer time sheets need to be completed and submitted to Director's Office each month; 2) mentors for new members: Jack Cole for Dick Mueller and Patti Baskin for Carol Walsh.
Motion was made to approve the January 22, 1997 meeting minutes; seconded. Motion passed.
J. Cole distributed a timeline for policy review and updated the Board on team activities.
C. Brown gave background on annual retreat scheduled by the Library Board. The date had been booked for Thursday, April 24, 1997, with a focus on a comprehensive survey undertaken by the Library in 1996 as well as follow-up on a Future Search Conference held summer of 1996. At least one Library Board member has a conflict with the 4/24 date so need to inquire on availability for Wednesday, April 23, retreat replaces a regular April meeting, time to be from 4-8:00 p.m.
C. Brown will contact the consultants for the date change to 4/23 and will notify the Library Board by March 7.
P. Baskin announced that there is no March Ways & Means Committee meeting; will await the March officer election and appointment of new Ways & Means Chair.
C. Brown reviewed the background preparation of a revised mission statement, a vision statement, and value statements. Currently in process of soliciting broad range staff input to drafts and also request input from Library Board members.
Mission Statement: positive feedback. L. Wyly recommended beginning the statement with: "HCL promotes....." and end with the statement "....in order to ensure a strong community and an informed and engaged citizenry."
Vision Statement: C. Brown gave some details on what the statement actually means, e.g. new & emerging technologies, maintaining a strong collection, adequate staffing, adequate training of staff--it is a very ambitious statement. Inquiry about feelings of Commissioners due to budget needs.
Values: M. Jackson felt a "public servants" concept was missing, e.g. protecting the collection, safeguard the collection, maintain the public resource for access, regulatory function--a separate heading of "public service." There was also mention of first amendment rights.
Library Board members will forward any further comments to C. Brown; hope to bring a semi-final version at the March meeting after receiving staff input and a definition of "premier."
Gretchen Wronka, Youth Services Coordinator, introduced this new video, produced by Health Partners, which promotes reading as it helps children's intellectual development. Patti Baskin was a consultant on the project. A mass distribution of the video is planned throughout the metropolitan area; multiple copies will be added to the HCL collection; and the library was involved as a resource. The Library Board viewed the 14-minute video.
President: P. Baskin reported on 5 meetings attended this month: 75th Anniversary planning (event is April 19)--a full report will be presented at the March meeting, literary lecture series planning, art initiative (reported later), and the legislative orientation meeting.
MELSA/Metronet: Jack Cole presented a background of the two boards--MELSA and Metronet--on which he serves and their relationship to HCL (for the two new Library Board members). MELSA activities: currently in the process of employing a new Executive Director and MEANS contract activity (regarding technology collaborative). Reminder to all of Friday, April 11, is the Minnesota Book Awards at the History Center in St. Paul. J. Cole will check to make sure all Library Board members are receiving the "Metro Briefs" newsletter from Metronet.
Art Initiative: P. Baskin reported on latest activities which included outlining the planning process, discussion of different types of art to be considered--architectural integrated part (requires immediate attention), object oriented art designed for specific areas, and discreet object art allowing for flexible displays. Work has begun on identifying possible artists and potential funders.
Technology Center Team: B. Zaragoza gave a brief overview of the Technology Center Team past activities for the new Board members, and called attention to the January Library Board minutes for mission of the Team. A proposal will be available soon for review by the Team, and a budget is also being prepared. A staff group will be visiting the Charlotte/Mecklenberg Library to tour their technology center.
Revenue Generation Team: M. Jackson gave a brief background of the Team (including the current implementation of a voluntary printing fee) and reported that the Team is planning to prepare a final packet of recommendations in March.
These recommendations will cover four areas:
--coffee shop in remodelled Ridgedale facility
--full service copy shop (like Kinkos) at Ridgedale Library
--increase & make uniform the price of discarded materials sold by the library
--paying for a delivery service.
The final report will also include cost-saving and fund-raising ideas discussed by the Team during its deliberations.
Member Reports: M. Jackson requested a review of upcoming events of attention to Library Board members (a list of dates was mailed to Library Board members following this meeting).
Jack Cole reported on American Library Association trustee activities and his attendance at the ALA Midwinter Conference.
C. Brown reported on upcoming activities: Legislative Day is March 5; a County Board Briefing to present the future of the library has been requested for April 8 or April 22 (9:00 a.m.) and a Library Board "presence" would be helpful, date won't be confirmed until 3 weeks prior [update: April 8 date has been cancelled]; the State of the County presentation is scheduled for April 29, noon, at Mall of America (invitations should be sent to Library Board members). Current activities: a great deal of time has been spent on the Ridgedale renovation; ATS relocation issues; the Administrative Committee is looking at the structure of Public Services and the expanding role of principal/coordinating librarians; ALA Midwinter Executive Board activities.
Activities/Programs: L. Engberg reviewed current statistics: the revised 1996 statistical totals had been distributed to the Library Board; regarding the January 1997 stats--need to put increase in perspective with closings of Maple Grove and Eden Prairie in 1996 and closing of Rockford Road in 1997. Programming shows an increase in attendance and variety of offerings. Technology: ENS (Electronic Notification System) is currently being tested to notify patrons of reserves (Westonka, Champlin, Maple Grove, and Wayzata are the test sites). HCL received a State of MN grant for almost $30,000 to continue the "Great Transitions" program.
Plymouth Library Report: Cathy Fischer welcomed everyone to the Plymouth Community Library--the newest library in the system which opened in September of 1995. Circulation during the first full year of operation (1996) was 516,813, 55% of which were children's materials--the third highest circulation among community libraries. Over 3,000 volunteer hours were donated in 1996 at Plymouth; 80 Friends members have raised over $12,000 in book sales in 1-1/2 years, plus $4,000 through other fundraising efforts.

Mobile Technology Brings Pacman to Life
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Researchers in the Department of Communication Systems, based in InfoLab21, have been developing a new game which can be played by up to five players on mobile phones.
Unlike traditional mobile phone games, this game takes place in real space as well as on a mobile phone screen. Called Pac-Lan, in homage to the arcade classic Pacman, the game enables players to keep track of one another's position through images on their mobile phones as they chase one another round campus.
Dr Paul Coulton, head of mobile game development at Lancaster University, said: "This game is using a traditional mobile phone game in a different way by mixing the real and virtual world. Players move around in real space interacting with one another, their environment and their mobile phone."
Each phone has been programmed with a maze, which is based on a map of the University Campus. Players have to collect points from a series of Radio Frequency Identification Tags, which have been attached to yellow disks on lampposts around the University.
When a player collects their points by holding their mobile phone against the disc the virtual reality maze on each mobile phone is updated with the player's position. Each player shows up as an animated character (Pac-Lan or Ghost) moving round the screen. This enables a team of 'ghosts' to track the player down and catch them.
It is the first game in the world to use mobile phones equipped with Radio Frequency Identification Tags. RFID tags are small devices - like barcodes- which can transmit and receive data.

Read the story from Wade Simmons:
Winter can be depressing for mountain bikers. Luckily, living in Vancouver, we have the luxury of riding most of the year, even if the trails more resemble a well-trotted pigpen than single-track.
So, come spring, riders, especially the ones who make their living on a bike, get a burning itch to go somewhere dry and wear off the winter rust. The closest place for lower mainlanders to go is Kamloops. This semi-arid desert is probably one of the first places to be rideable in the early season. Imagine dark brown clay-based dirt resembling a ganache cake providing Velcro traction: dry enough in spots to drift and wet enough to rail…perfect!
Spring is also the time that sponsored riders get their new rigs! For Thomas Vanderham, Geoff Gulevich and myself, that meant getting fresh Rocky Mountain Flatlines kitted out with Pro components, Shimano Saint gruppos and a new Maxxis DH tire to test. We had now the perfect ingredients for a team trip to break the rigs in. We were lucky too, with photographer Sterling Lorence having a hole in his hectic two-kid life to partake in the antics, as well as videographers Ambrose Weingart, Tam Forde and Matt Dennison documenting the action.
It's no secret that Kamloops is a Mecca of mountain bike landscapes. It's probably been featured in every great mtb movie filmed, and, for that matter, I think it was the location of the first mtb movie ever filmed. But, like the bike itself, I'm sure that would be contested by some people. Either way, we weren't in the "Loops" to discuss history, we were there to make history. Now, with Thomas Vanderham welcomed back to the Rocky Mountain Freeride team from a two-year hiatus, and Gully and I just a couple of hard-working guys itching to sink Maxxis teeth into the thawed ground, this would for sure make for some history on film!
The three of us have all spent great times in the "Loops": Thomas and Gully have both filmed here often, satisfying their latest movie offerings, and I, having grown up here, always felt at home in the sage and dust. The terrain in Kamloops is conducive to all types of riding. It has buttery smooth hard pack single-track, multiple DH shuttle areas, a local government sponsored in-town bike park aptly named the "Ranch", long skidder gravel/sand slopes made famous by the "Froriders", and more recently, big wedge style booters. The latter are the remnants of what is happening now in the latest mountain biking movies. These booters are dotted everywhere in the hills; a riders battleground from past, that can be resurrected for the pleasure of whoever is willing to send it: "C'mon Gully, Thomas, you're gonna hit that…aren't ya?"
I must say though, that first afternoon sitting at the top of "the River", each of us on a bike that hadn't seen dirt…ever, on our first of 5 days in Kamloops, with two guys who I know will push my limits, and with ground so ripe with shred that we would be constantly high-fivin' happy beyond words after the first turn was, well…. truly humbling. We are somehow doing something right. Right here, in he birth place of free-riding.

It's easy to think the shift from a newspaper culture to a "news organization culture" in the Google world is essentially binary. Newspapers used to be this. Now they should be that, the opposite of what they once were.
While that way of thinking is provocative and contains some truth, it's important not to fall into the trap that nothing journalists did before the Internet applies today.
Take two examples from an excellent blog post by Amber Smith that I found reading Jeff Jarvis' Buzz Machine blog.
Here's the first:
Old way of thinking
Editors were in charge, choosing which stories to provide to the readers/audience, based on what the editors thought the readers/audience wanted and needed to know.
New way
Readers are in charge. They read what they want, when they want.
Is it really that simple? I don't think so. First, let's drop the word "editors" and just say "journalists." In this new world, everybody is – or can be – a content creator. I think they should be. But won't journalists still decide what stories to do? I think they will. That's how they build a brand, a reason for readers to turn to them. And up till now they didn't just choose which stories to provide based on what they thought readers wanted or needed to know. They did so based on what they thought were interesting stories that would matter to people (and of course themselves). That quirky and individual sense of what's worth reporting, writing and photographing remains critical in this new era. My believe is that the Web gives journalists even greater ability to do what they care about. Then they can see whether the readers will come.
Here's the second example:
Old way of thinking
Editors decided which beats would be covered.
New way
"Beats" are based on niche communities that already exist.
Really? I think a good journalist with an original eye can create interest where little or none existed. I totally agree that we need to tap into niche communities that already exist. But in our tradition the individual journalist can change how we see the world – and that's something worth celebrating and encouraging.
This isn't to say I don't find much of value in Smith's blog. But let's be careful not to pretend that the Web has made the new formula simple. The world is still a place of shades of gray, as much as we might wish it could be black and white, right and wrong.

MIAMI - The U.S. Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced that a total of 258 criminal aliens were arrested in Florida and Puerto Rico. The sweep, said to be part of a "targeted ICE operation," led to 14 local arrests.
In all, the three-day-long Operation Cross Check yielded the largest-ever number of arrests in one sweep. A total of 596 foreign nationals with criminal records were apprehended in the southeastern U.S. This operation was the biggest operation targeting at-large criminal aliens ever carried out by ICE in the region.
During the operation, which concluded late Thursday night, ICE officers and agents worked in teams with the U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and local law enforcement agencies in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Puerto Rico.
Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for ICE John Morton cited the operation -- which involved nearly 400 federal and local law enforcement officers and agents -- as another example of ICE's focus on indentifying and removing criminal aliens from the United States.
"We are a compassionate nation with a proud history of immigration," said Morton. "But we are also a nation governed by laws specifically designed to protect its citizens and residents. Those who come to the United States to prey upon our neighbors and communities will be prosecuted for their crimes and ultimately returned to their home countries. The results of this week's operation demonstrate ICE's commitment to that principle."
Arrests in Florida and Puerto Rico accounted for the largest number of apprehensions during the operation where a total of 258 aliens were taken into custody. The 258 arrests include 48 arrests in Miami-Dade county, five arrests in Monroe county, 24 arrests in Broward county, 11 arrests in West Palm Beach, 10 arrests in Tampa, 25 arrests in Orlando, 14 arrests in Ft. Myers, and 13 arrests in Puerto Rico. The overall regional arrests include 544 men and 55 women, representing 60 different nations, including countries in Latin America, Asia, Europe, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Due to their serious criminal histories and prior immigration arrest records, at least 12 of those arrested during the enforcement surge face federal prosecution. A conviction for felony reentry carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.
Among the so-called "worst" offenders caught this week during Operation Cross Check in Florida is Lenroy Rolle, of the Bahamas. He was arrested Tuesday in Florida. Rolle's criminal convictions include Attempted Sexual Battery and Improper Exhibition of a Dangerous Weapon/Firearm in Lee County. He is now in ICE custody pending removal from the United States.
Any of the foreign nationals arrested during this operation who have active warrants will be referred to the associated local law enforcement agency and ICE will place detainers to ensure they return to ICE custody following disposition of their criminal cases. Those who have outstanding orders of deportation, or who returned to the United States illegally after being deported, are subject to immediate removal from the country. The remaining individuals are in ICE custody awaiting a hearing before an immigration judge, or pending travel arrangements for removal in the near future.
This week's special enforcement action was spearheaded by ICE's Fugitive Operations Program, which is responsible for locating, arresting, and removing at large criminal aliens and immigration fugitives -- aliens who have ignored final orders of deportation handed down by the nation's immigration courts. ICE's Fugitive Operations Teams give top priority to cases involving aliens who pose a threat to national security and public safety, including members of transnational street gangs and child sex offenders. This week's operation focused on the apprehension of criminal aliens, which are not necessarily fugitives.
The enforcement operation in Florida and Puerto Rico was lead by ICE's Office of Detention and Removal Miami Field Office with the assistance by ICE's Office of Investigations in Miami, Tampa and San Juan, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of Field Operations and the U.S. Border Patrol, Citizenship and Immigration Services, Florida Keys Federal Probation, United States Marshals Service, Office of Inspector General, Palm Beach Sheriffs Office, Lee County Probation, Lee County Sheriffs Office, Office of the Chief Information Officer 9th Circuit Probation, Alachua County Sheriffs Office, Clay County Sheriffs Office, Daytona Beach Circuit Probation, Florida Highway Patrol, Jacksonville Sheriffs Office, Orange County Fugitive Task Force, Orange Park Police, Putnam County Sheriffs Office, Sanford Circuit Probation, St. Augustine Police Department and the St. Johns Sheriffs Office.
The officers who conducted this week's special operation received substantial assistance from ICE's Fugitive Operations Support Center (FOSC) located in South Burlington, Vt. The FOSC conducted exhaustive database checks on the targeted cases to help ensure the viability of the leads and accuracy of the criminal histories. The FOSC was established in 2006 to improve the integrity of the data available on at large criminal aliens and immigration fugitives nationwide. Since its inception, the FOSC has forwarded more than 550,000 case leads to ICE enforcement personnel in the field.
This week's enforcement operation is just one facet of the Department of Homeland Security's broader strategy to heighten the federal government's effectiveness at identifying and removing dangerous criminal aliens from the United States. As a result of this strategy, ICE removed a total of 136,126 criminal aliens from the United States last year, a record number.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is the largest investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security.
ICE is comprised of four integrated divisions that form a 21st century law enforcement agency with broad responsibilities for a number of key homeland security priorities. For more information, visit: www.ICE.gov. To report suspicious activity, call 1-866-347-2423.

Movie News
You shoulda shot The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day a long time ago. Now it's too rich to kill!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today's Behind the Scenes pic!
Now this pic won't enlighten you on the making of the classic flick, GIANT. It won't shed light on the process of making this epic movie, but if you're anything like me it will make you smile.
I'm finding more and more that I enjoy these candid moments captured on set more than any other type of behind the scenes image. In this case it's a moment between Rock Hudson and James Dean. It looks to me like Dean is about to cock-punch Rock Hudson. I'm not crazy, right? The below is unmistakably an attempted attack on Rock Hudson's cock and balls… right?
Rock probably didn't mind and I'm sure it'd be a great honor to get punched in the dick by James Dean, so everything is copasetic.
Here's the pic! Enjoy!
If you have a pic you think should be included email me. I'm looking for the iconic, the rare or the just plain cool behind the scenes shots to feature here.
I'm nearly outta time for tomorrow's Behind the Scenes pic!

And how do you fuck the ladies, Rock?" And Rock is trying to think of his mother to make his boner stay down.

Dean and Hudson
by dukeroberts
They hated each other. Rock was kind of reserved and conservative in demeanor. Jimmy liked to get his goat a lot (that is not a double entendre inany way). Jimmy liked to piss Rock off. He probably felt it added to the performance. In any case, they almost came to blows a couple of times (Again, not a double entendre). I think Liz had to break up a near fight once. There have been rumors that James Dean was bisexual. One quote about him was "He would fuck a snake to get ahead". There is not much corroborative evidence to back up the rumors, but he did list himself as "Homosexual" on his military draft application. As Cary Grant and Randolph Scott go, I don't think either were gay. I could see Cary Grant possibly, but Randolph Scott? No way. Laurence Olivier and Danny Kaye were in love with each other though. I believe one of Danny Kaye's children stated as much.

"After that, I had sex with his girlfriend. She told me his penis was half of an inch."

RedBull's conspiracy theory has kind of a huge flaw
by jim
If the studio is going to kill someone to keep a secret, why not kill the no-name blabbermouth ex-lover instead of their money-making superstar?
Now, if you wanted to theorize that Col. Parker had Dean killed because he felt his idol status was an obstacle to Elvis' ability to transition to screen star, then, well, you'd still be full of shit, but at least it would be interesting shit.
Aug. 24, 2010, 5:43 p.m. CST

by archer1949
John Wayne, James Stewart, Charlton Heston, William Holden, and Robert Mitchum, every major male star in the 1950's had gay rumors swirling around him at one time or another. So pardon me if I take the James Dean stuff with a pinch of salt. But even if he was the most flamboyent flamer who ever pranced down the ballroom in his private life, who gives a shit?

I am actually at a loss for snark…
If, you know, websites actually had buttholes, but I suppose that goes without saying. And who knows, maybe ESPN.com would rather enjoy having something shoved up its bunghole. Hard thing to gauge, really.
Moving on – thankfully – the above image is a screencap from Marc Stein's column, "Miami's big three ready to work" on ESPN.com. Apparently, the team-specific page, which every team in the NBA is afforded on tWWL's site, will not be sufficient to adequately cover Miami Heat-related mania. Nope, ESPN.com will be rolling out something called "Heat Index," which is a "special section tracking all the team's moves in MIA."
I first learned of this new feature last night when I woke up from a nightmare – I was at ESPN HQ in Bristol, and they had a chamber terrifyingly similar to the Ministry of Love's Room 101 from Nineteen Eighty-Four and miniature versions LeBron, Bosh and Wade with rat tails and menacing teeth were set to devour my face off, but I digress. Anyway, I had fallen asleep while watching Monday Night Football and SportsCenter was on. I cannot remember which anchor was reporting on the launch of the "Heat Index" but the shame he was feeling while announcing such a ridiculous thing was palpable.
Like I mentioned, apparently the Miami Heat's team page just won't be enough to satisfy our insatiable hunger for Miami Heat-related news and information. Did Chris Bosh take a poop in the morning before he left for practice or did he wait until he arrived at the team's facilities? Which shoe does Dwyane Wade put on first? Does LeBron have a soul? These are the kinds of things you will likely learn at "Heat Index." Oh, joyous day!
Thanks, ESPN.com!

Is your team not receiving enough attention?
The Lakers and Kobe used to get half of the NBA headlines even when they lost. Since Pau Gasol its been Lakers talk all the fucking time.
So the Heat has two of the best players in the league right now, one of the youngest championship MVPs in Wade and a two time league MVP in Lebron.
But I guess ESPN should cover them the same as they cover the Hornets, or the Bobcats, or the Wizards.
Wake up.This is business. Big name players = big ratings = big money.
Bottom line.
Stop whining.
Fuck the Miami heat they arent doing shit this year..overrated fuckin hype.. learn to deal with Kobe and the Lakers, they arent going anywhere.
Just more knob-slobbing of the big name teams and big name players in sports by ESPN, what's new? I think we should all realize by now that ESPN.com is just one huge sports periodical, nothing on there is written without bias or slant. I think sane-minded sports fans should ban together and boycott this ridiculous attempt at objective sports journalism, because objective, it is not. While we're at it, let's boycott their network altogether. Bunch of fucking hacks.

North Carolina State University was established in 1887 as the North Carolina College for Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. The College opened in 1889 with one building-the current Holladay Hall-six faculty, and courses in the agricultural and mechanical arts, adding a curriculum in applied science in 1893. By the turn of the century the College had grown to some half dozen buildings, about 300 students, and had begun to diversify its curricula. In 1917, the institution's name was changed to North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering (State College). In 1931 the College greatly reworked its curricula as it underwent consolidation. Along with North Carolina College for Women and the University of North Carolina, it became a part of the Consolidated University of North Carolina. North Carolina State is now one of the constituent institutions of the multi-campus University of North Carolina system, having received university status, and, after some controversy, assumed its current name in 1965. As of 2007, N.C. State had a student body of nearly 30,000, nearly two thousand faculty, and research and program expenditures of over $440 million.
The University Archives Reference Collection, General Reference subgroup contains brochures, clippings, correspondence and memoranda, news releases, programs, publications, reports, speeches, and related archival material concerning a variety of items relating to the University.
