Har, so how does asking one of the parties to the dispute, rather than touring the facilities yourself as the public's witness, count as fact-checking/verifying? I rate this "Fact-Check" as "Failed".
And remember, at the bottom line what these reforms have done is just re-arrange the deck chairs AND just make sure that poor and working folks have less access to the deck.
Cole and Esteve: you and the O need to spend a lot less time getting your jollies off of reporting the "boxing match" of Oregon's broken system and a lot more time actually getting officials on the record trying to explaintheir positions.
Right now what we actually have as a result of this session, thanks in part to the O's failure to do anything resembling journalism and witnessing for the people, is happy talk about how coordinated pigs will fly and that preventative fairy dust is better than medical care, all orchestrated by whole new categories of smiling bureaucrats selflessly committed to personally insuring everyone has an above-average, double-plus good experience.
You people haven't asked held public officials accountable to explain their fantastical, alternate-reality theories of how the HIX and CCOs are going to change human nature and how John Kitzhaber, Bruce Goldberg, Mike Bonetto, Peter Courtney, Ted Ferrioli, Allen Bates, Bruce Hanna, Arna Roblan, and host of bureaucrats with minimal knowledge are somehow going to be smart enough to anticipate and incentivize against all of the unintended consequences of a cartoon of a health care system they are creating.
We can justifiably predict that this will end as it always does: With real people paying the prices of the egos and the incompetence, but especially poor and working class people. The job of all of those folks driving this train to nowhere is to make sure the powerful interests they actually represent are protected and get a chance to grab all the money off the table they can before it's gone.
And people like you two Esteve and Cole will continue to go along to get along by reporting the spectacle rather than doing the hard work of holding these people accountable.
Sandor, while your technically right that Obamacare to date wasn't responsible, you obviously don't have a clue about what is coming with Kitzhabercare, the state's implementation with gusto of Obamacare, when it comes to disempowering patients and their families.
Steve, a couple of things you didn't mention in the story:
1) Was Farley paid out of Mr. Alfano's funds? That is typically the case. How much was she paid?
2) You don't report that you have contacted the Oregon Bar about disciplining these two. The Bar as much as anybody can bring real justice here by making sure Cobb and Farley lose their law licenses if a serious investigation of their behavior and their character shows that is warranted. To understand how this kind of thing happens all too often in Oregon, the public needs to hear the excuses from all of the corrupt enablers contributing to this outrage. That most definitely includes putting the Oregon Bar and Judicial Fitness and Disability commission on the record explaining why they are not going to hold people accountable, if they aren't. And yes, the Bar and the Judicial Fitness and Disability commission do deal with character issues.
3) Cobb was a probate commissioner before she was took the bench. The O's publisher, editors and reporters have always thumbed their nose at the public and never held judges up to the painful scrutiny they deserve given the job they want. In this case, can we expect a thorough report on Cobb and Farley's background in Part III? It appears this may not be the first time Cobb has done this to a disempowered family, perhaps because as a former probate commissioner she may not be competent to hold a seat on the bench. The O owes it to the public to investigate and report.
4) But the big question that the public needs to hold the O's editors accountable to answer is this: In Oregon, judicial races are actually decided in the May primaries. Cobb is up for re-election in this year's May primary. As it happens, the last day for candidates to file in that race is March 6, 2012. Cobb has already filed for re-election and currently is unopposed. Could the O have run this story a month ago so when it could have done some good by allowing time for public support to build for a candidate to file against her? If the story could have run then, why didn't that happen?
And by the way, there may be limited space available in the dead-tree version of the O. But another news flash: That's not a problem on the web. In fact, all the best papers and journals have web-only supplements for that reason. The O's website is such a train-wreck with regard to aesthetics, content, and user-experience, however, that the failure to take advantage of the most elementary features of the medium is hardly the biggest problem.
I just hope you and the O haven't played on this family and are going to walk away without taking responsibility to make sure you have done your part to make sure that those responsible for this abuse are punished to the maximum extent possible.
@Steve Morris - I love the one-dimensional thinking of people like you. How could you possibly know what any commenter here is doing in real life with regard to LTC reform specifically and health care reform generally? Just to expand your brain a bit, what are some reasons one could have significant knowledge about the system and it's deficiencies?
Note that even Mr. Alfano's family needs to keep an eye on Duin and the O also so this story doesn't go as south for them as Mr. Alfano's tragic treatment at the hands of the state and the VA. Duin clearly sets up the Hawaiian vacation as a pivotal event as that is the first point he starts to quote various players as saying others had lied:
Steven Alfano has long argued that ODVA showed little interest in his father until the award from the Town Center Village was in the bank, then mismanaged the estate. He was particularly annoyed when the conservator scheduled a Hawaiian vacation for his father in February 2008 without notifying the family.
Duin then goes on to make an important statement that invites all sorts of implicatures he doesn't answer:
Steven thought that his father's health concerns -- including dementia, hypertension and the MS -- precluded such a trip, even in the company of a traveling companion.
Who actually initiated the planning for this trip? Is the mention of a traveling companion merely a illustrative device used simply to emphasize how inadvisable this trip was? Or was there a traveling companion and that sentence is meant to emphasize how inadvisable the trip was despite that fact? One would reasonably assume the latter would be true for someone who is physically-impaired due to an amputation, mentally-impaired due to dementia, and physically and mentally impaired due to MS. (Be careful not to buy into unspecified "hypertension" as being a life-impairing disability without knowing the specific etiology. Without that knowledge, this could be Duin carelessly repeating the framing of big pharma and the current health reform policies because it has literary value.)
At the bottom line, as important as this event was, Duin omits three critical facts: 1) Did the trip actually occur? 2) Who was the traveling companion. And 3) was the traveling companion the person who originated the idea of a trip that became this key event?
Gotta watch the O and the O's reporters carefully if one really cares about what happened here. Their interests are not necessarily to serve Mr. Alfano and his family who, I think most folks have justifiable reason to believe based on the facts disclosed so far, have been horrendously abused by the ODVA and Judge Cobb.
The link to the Oregon Commission on Judicial Fitness and Disability:
The issue here at least being whether this behavior is "prejudicial to the administration of justice that brings the judicial office into disrepute." Or if this judge has undermined "confidence in the judiciary and the judicial system" by engaging in "conduct that reflects adversely on the judge's character, competence, temperament or fitness to serve as a judge." One valid question that requires review is why she sided with one daughter against four sons.
And the Oregon Bar Association's website:
The Oregon Bar's rules of conduct are pretty lax and pretty much can be summed up as "just don't get CAUGHT stealing or committing other felonies ... especially when you're one of our own in public office". Nonetheless engaging official review processes can be important to do.
So here's the story tip for you Duin: If you explain the facts fully and the review processes, complaints might get filed. In the public interest, you could follow the whole process and maybe even do more public service by building pressure to make the system more open. In Oregon, judges are elected officials, so they don't have the right to have any aspect of fitness proceedings closed. The only harm is the chance to not serve in elected office, which the courts have long ruled is not a right. This is far different from why Grand Juries are secret. The only reason to close proceedings at all is that the press won't do it's job in the case of bogus charges to clear the name of the falsely accused.
You said Part 3 is "Who Watches the Watchmen?" News flash for you: In our system that'd be you and the rest of the press who are supposed to be the public's witnesses. That's why we have a First Amendment you and the O so seldom actually exert for positive benefit. Will your story answer that question properly? Holding judges painfully accountable is the first step in holding the people that judges have authority over accountable, like state-appointed guardians, doctors who use their authority to override patients wishes and force treatment, etc. Will we be pleasantly surprised you man-up to that obligation Duin? Or is this all just so you get more credit for web hits and letters-to-the-editor for your byline? Let's all genuinely hope we are presently surprised, but the O seldom pleasantly surprises when it really matters.
Be prepared for many more stories like this now that our Governor and your Legislators on both sides of the aisle passed the "Coordinated Care" health care model. As part of that they are going after the rights and Medicare money of so-called "dual-eligibles". Duin, you and your fellow reporters have failed miserably at actually researching and presenting a full and accurate story about what this is actually going to mean. Especially for people in Long Term Care (LTC) where Oregon right now has a contract to propose the next phase of a "demonstration project" with CMS (the Federal Medicare and Medicaid administrative agency) that would waive unspecified Medicare rules.
You want to make sure things like this don't happen again Duin? Instead of just getting good copy telling what has already gone horribly wrong? Then do your job and start with what's going on right now in the Governor's office, the leadership offices on both sides of the aisle in the Legislature, and the OHA. The Feds are increasingly happy to let the dirty work happen at the state level. The fact there is a state judge involved in this who sided with the Feds is something you're not properly emphasizing. Don't just blame the VA, blame the state actors who have created a poor LTC system that you and your fellow apologists at the O cover up for daily by not actually digging deep into the stories of their agendas and incompetence.
If your facts are correct (and sorry, but the record is quite clear that with you and the rest of the O one can never, ever, take that for granted) you should start by throwing the painfully hot glare of the spotlight on Cobb. Ask her how she was professionally qualified to make the judgement herself that Alfano's preference for his sons, who seemed to have settled him into a good LTC situation, was the result of mental disability, or why any "professionals" who she may have consulted were of sound enough mind to come up with such an obviously dubious recommendation. If she has kids ask them how they feel about what she did, since this is about the relationships between children and parents. If your facts are correct, and your not just trying to get points for yourself, you need to have integrity. Stand behind them by making an example of Cobb so that other judges and public officials will know what can happen to them as we move into Oregon's new patient disempowering model of health care, where saving money is job #1.
You better read that horrific Graves story a little closer Budnick and do some more homework on how CareOregon has evolved from it's original form and intent over the years (it's not pretty). The way the system is actually going to saving money by "keeping people out of the hospital" is by keeping them (literally turning them away without proper care, repeatedly) out of the hospital. Of course, the "blame the victim" polite racism and classism of Oregon is what this is really all about. At least as she's present in the story, Wilkinson is no bridge, she's an enabler of a system that will now further control costs by blaming the victim and reducing care.
Noelle, why do you and your editors think the story you told here is a story? I haven't seen a story from you or the Boregonian reporting how people who don't have a Mayo Clinic in their state travel to AZ, FL, or MN. (Film at 11). Or, as mediocre a medical facility as OHSU is, a story about someone from somewhere else right in Oregon where they don't even have that traveling to OHSU? Of course neither of those would be stories except maybe to celebrate how fortunate those patients were, given the miserable state of our health care system that our elected leaders seem hellbent on making worse. And while you're at it, please tell us who fed you this intellectually dishonest story idea in the first place. (I'm sure you don't want the "credit" for coming up with it all on your own.)
Is this a proper use of the Grand Jury by the prosecutor's office under Oregon law? While a report like this could accompany recommendations for criminal charges, at least as reported by Bernstein this seems to be more about rationalizing failures of the prosecutor and the sheriff's office. (Since the recommendations by the GJ are noted to not have actually based on much serious consideration of what is actually medically sound.) How about reporting back to us about the law and intent here Bernstein?
"Meaning prevention and lifestyle changes. The kind of interventions that cost less and have higher returned value per dollar spent."
@ChuckWagon --- You also need to quite drinking the policy literature kool-aid on this one and look at the economic and scientific literature. Prevention is the fad of the day but the data is clear it will virtually do nothing to actually bend the curve on the ruinous cost trajectory of our health care system (and at best yield mixed results for individual outcomes.)
The "blame the victim" prevention and lifestyle changes meme started with Romneycare as the basis for allowing people to refuse to step up and deal with the cost and medical care crisis we face. Frank Luntz himself would been proud how even "medical care" was banished from the discussion and replaced instead by "health care". Given that history, and based on just the hard data, the claim that the prevention and lifestyle change crowd are the global warming skeptics of medical science when it comes to the real medical care crisis we face has not yet been proven invalid.

@Chuckwagon --- You need two swear off the buzzwords. ACOs are just HMOs re-configured. The goal of ACOs is to put the money that previously went into the pockets of insurance companies (except for the provider-owned HMOs like most of the HMOs in Oregon) for denying patients the care that they need, into the pockets of provider owned managed care organizations for denying patients the care that they need.
One of the "virtues" of CCOs, at least from the viewpoint of our Governor, the OHA, our Legislators, and the OHPB, is that nobody actually knows what they are, except that the principle is to put money into the pocket of somebody for denying patients the care that they need.

@seneca67 "Only PhD's and MD's coulda thunk of that"
Actually not really close. We owe this sad situation to:
1) A bunch of BA's and MA's in Public Policy and MPHs (Master's of Public Health).
2) Legislators starting with a DO (Bates) who is a favorite of the Coalition for Healthy Oregon Medicaid managed care organization PAC. And an ER-doc Governor whose training --- we have to be frank here --- is to stabilize 'em and ship 'em, and who STARTED the process with the claim that the time for consulting the public was over before the public was seriously consulted in the first place.
3) An Oregon Health Policy Board (OHPB) composed of people who simply don't have the right mix of skills to presume to re-architect an entire health care system and therefore, perhaps to their credit in view of that, objectively speaking really didn't exercise any leadership. (Anyone else notice the disturbing similarity in their work habits to the undergrad who pulls a late-nighter to get down to the real work the day before the paper is due !?!?!).
4) And finally, a "citizen" legislature that passed HR-3650 and wasted a year that could have been used to come up with a more credible and humane alternative.
But @seneca67, you're on the right track that that medical industry and the insurance industry used their power to take a really poorly conceived idea and make it even less through all of those players.
@walletbiopsy --- you're right, and your point about "quality health outcome" is also right. Our state brain trust and their federal counterparts also love to through around "patient-centered" too. Even used both those terms profusely in the state and federal legislation. But never fear, the Congress literally budgeted tens of millions to create the "Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute" whose first order of business has been to fund a literature review of what that might mean, and second order of business is to fund research to give some serious study to what the literature review turned up.
Frankly, the real concern for a thinking person is that a divided citizen legislature that has shown itself to be incapable of real leadership regardless of which party is in power, while looking at huge budget deficit wasted a year that could have been used more productively to come up with a more credible and humane alternative, and so now very well could vote to put this into action simply because they don't have anything else to offer.
There is a problem with your reporting Noelie. But this is the Oregonian, a top J-school example for poor editing and newsreporting (through no fault of an overworked, underpaid reporting staff).
You are apparently quoting an equally poorly reported story by Tom Hallman, in which he wrote, and I quote:
1) "John Zupan, 66, was westbound near Northeast 138th Avenue".
2) "the (Profiro's) 1998 Honda Civic was speeding in the eastbound lane of Northeast Marine Drive."
3) "his (Zupan's) motorcycle was hit head-on by a motorist (Porfiro) on Northeast Marine Drive"
Had Porfiro crossed into the westbound lane, which was not reported. Or had Zupan crossed into the eastbound lane? Given the racist hate Tom's and your story brought out, you can see why this omitted detail matters. That doesn't diminish the magnitude of the tragedy, but it would give us a better understanding of what we can learn from it and how to behave.
But this is Oregonian, in one of the most intellectually challenged cities in the country, and where passive-agressive sensationalism is what sells papers.
It's unfortunate the Oregonian has chose to just repeat a nonsensical claim about this program that is easily exposed by the most cursory examination of the facts:
The bottom line for Kathy Hahn, a pharmacist in Springfield, is better care. The new database will help protect patients, who can forget or misrepresent what drugs they are taking. The database takes away any guesswork.
"A lot of times all we have available to us is the patient's word," she says. "Sometimes we choose wrong."
That's a breathtaking statement given that pharmacists aren't doctors. They aren't even really caregivers. They are just specially trained merchants selling a product who according to the Oregonian story yesterday haven't even stepped up to the plate to self report their own errors:
A nearly three-year-old effort to improve patient safety by reducing pharmacy errors has failed because Oregon's druggists have declined to participate..
Those commentors who support this system with some variant of the immoral argument: "if you don't have anything to hide you don't have anything to fear" obviously weren't paying attention in your American history or civics class. (I wonder how many of those commentors like "drbeaver", "jenilyn6", "pharmdude" and "mammakatt" are even genuine average folks since their comments really read like unfactual propaganda for the program.) In America, we have the right to keep the government out of our doctor's office and our lives without particularized suspicion of criminal behavior. If we can assume the story is reasonably accurate, if you want to protect your privacy in your relationship with your doctor, your only choice now is to decline to fill any prescription he or she gives you that would go into the database.
Makes any reasonable person wonder what is really in store for us own the road with the "Health System Transformation" bill that the overwhelming majority of our elected officials passed into law this year. (Only one misleading point in that story. "Coordinated Care Organizations", like "Accountable Care Organizations", are in fact defined to be just a new take on "managed care" whose primary goal is to save money not improve care --- analogous how this prescription program's primary goal is not improving care. The creators know that "managed care" is a term with negative connotations so they worked at least as hard to come up with new terms as they have to come up with new ideas.)
In case you're not aware tombdragon, the OHP, SCHIP, and Oregon's FHIP program are all simply "brokerages" for plans managed by private insurance companies and private provider networks. In fact, pretty much exactly like PEBB and OEBB insurance. (And no, I'm not a public employee and therefore have no dog in that fight). I'm just here to correct a lot of false information circulating out there because the economic projections show most of us someday are going to be ending up this new spin on the old HMO whose proponents have failed to respond to significant informed criticism that so far it's not been explained how CCOs address the real, well-documented problems with HMOs.

Guess what this cupcake is made of (hint: it's a veggie).For most of us, vegetables are something we reluctantly scarf down before dessert. But imagine what would happen if the two courses were combined into one?
Before you turn your nose up at the very thought, consider this: Professional chefs and home cooks have long been experimenting with vegetable-based desserts -- many with delicious results. After all, savory desserts are popular the world over. So, aren't veggie desserts essentially a not-so-distant cousin of things like bacon ice cream and salted caramel cupcakes?
Check out these seven desserts that call for vegetables as a main ingredient and go way way beyond the classic carrot cake and pumpkin pie. We bet you never realized vegetables had this much sweet potential!
Of course, the vegetable-dessert that's getting the most attention of late is the Neopolitan Eggplant and Chocolate dish served up at Del Posto in New York. It's eggplant crostada served with stracciatella ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate. You can combine the two deliciously bitter flavors yourself in these Eggplant Chocolate Chip Muffins.
Cauliflower and Raspberry Cheesecake sounds frightening, right? Well, not if you think about it: When paired with homemade ricotta cheese, the cauliflower lends a really light, not-too-sweet essence to the dessert -- it's the perfect way to break out of your boring cheesecake routine.
Chocolate and avocado is a popular combination particularly in pudding because the avocado adds creaminess. Take this idea one step further and freeze the pudding for refreshing Chocolate and Avocado Fudgesicles. The best part? They're dairy-free!
Sweet Potato Cupcakes (photo) would remind you of a traditional spice cake flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, and other autumnal spices -- except they're better! Ice them with either tasty Brown Butter Frosting or Toasted Marshmallow Frosting.
Don't be disgusted by this suggestion, but beets can go a long way in terms of making your dessert very moist and rich. This recipe for Beet Chocolate Bundt Cake With Ganache Glaze sounds absolutely velvety and divine.
And bakers have been putting black beans in chocolate brownies to make them more decadent and fudgy. This particular recipe for Really Awesome Black Bean Brownies gets the ratio of bean-to-chocolate just right!
Would you eat vegetables for dessert?

Sure would!
sure if they looked like that
My faves are zucchini cupcakes with chocolate frosting.
YUM, I am so wanting to try those
I don't like pumpkin pie. I do like carrot cake as long as you leave out the raisins. Some of these sound like they might be good but I am not sure if I would eat them or not.
yum, sounds like a good way to get veggies into my picky DH!
I would try them
Sorry, don't think so. Can't even make myself drink those v8 fusion drinks, even though they taste ok.
Love these! Can't wait to make them...
I would definatly try them. I made a garbonzo bean chocolate cake for my DH's B-Day one year and it was a big hit.

Brain Cancer Health Center
Childhood Astrocytomas Treatment (PDQ®): Treatment - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Treatment of Childhood High-Grade Astrocytomas
To determine and implement optimum management, treatment is often guided by a multidisciplinary team of cancer specialists who have experience treating childhood brain tumors.
The therapy for both children and adults with supratentorial high-grade astrocytoma includes surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Outcome in high-grade gliomas occurring in childhood may be more favorable than that in adults, but it is not clear if this difference is caused by biologic variations in tumor characteristics, therapies used, tumor resectability, or other factors that are presently not understood.[1] The ability to obtain a complete resection is associated with a better prognosis.[2] Radiation therapy is administered to a field that widely encompasses the entire tumor. The radiation therapy dose to the tumor bed is usually at least 54 Gy. Despite such therapy, overall survival rates remain poor. Similarly poor survival is seen in children with spinal cord primaries and children with thalamic high-grade gliomas.[3,4]; [5][Level of evidence: 3iiiA] In one trial, children with glioblastoma who were treated on a prospective randomized trial with adjuvant lomustine, vincristine, and prednisone fared better than children treated with radiation therapy alone.[6] Among patients treated with surgery, radiation therapy, and nitrosourea (lomustine)-based chemotherapy, 5-year progression-free survival was 19% ± 3%; survival was 40% in those who had total resections.[7] Similarly, in a trial of multiagent chemoradiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy in addition to valproic acid, 5-year event-free survival (EFS) was 13%, but for children with a complete resection of their tumor, the EFS was 48%.[8][Level of evidence: 2A] In adults, the addition of temozolomide during and after radiation therapy resulted in improved 2-year EFS as compared with treatment with radiation therapy alone. Adult patients with glioblastoma with a methylated O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter benefited from temozolomide, whereas those who did not have a methylated MGMT promoter did not benefit from temozolomide.[9,10] The role of temozolomide given concurrently with radiation therapy for children with supratentorial high-grade glioma appears comparable to the outcome seen in children treated with nitrosourea-based therapy [11] and again demonstrated a survival advantage for those children with a methylated MGMT promoter. Younger children may benefit from chemotherapy to delay, modify, or, in selected cases, obviate the need for radiation therapy.[12,13,14] Clinical trials that evaluate chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy are ongoing. Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.

When taking measurements of the block, the torque plate should be installed.From where we left off, we just received the block back from Ultra Performance Machine. We wanted to double-check that the final bore matched our specifications. To do this, we have to bolt the torque plate back on to simulate the distortion seen from a cylinder head. From here, we went on to work on the pistons and rods. This is where some of our problems started.

If one thing is true about today's market for television broadcasting, it's that consumers face an overwhelming range of technology and packaged viewing choices. While each type of service provider offers different benefits and associated costs—cable companies and subscription satellite are only the most common solutions—one often-overlooked option is a free-to-air (FTA) satellite system.
FTA satellites function with technology very similar to what is used by major subscription satellite providers, however there is a crucial difference. Whereas subscribing to satellite TV through a dish company entails regular payments in return for a chosen programming package, FTA satellites offer independent, customizable access to a variety of stations made freely available to the public by channels and broadcasters around the world.
To get an FTA satellite system up and running, only a few components are necessary to begin. First, an FTA receiver is required to pick up the unencrypted signals sent from about 20 total satellites positioned around the earth, enabling access to more than 200 channels worldwide.
Secondly, a satellite dish (31″ is the recommended minimum) is necessary to position in range of a given network or set of satellite networks. Finally, a linear KU band LNB (Low-Noise Block Downconverter) is needed to adjust incoming frequencies for optimal viewing, along with a cable to connect the LNB to the receiver.
Considered among dealers and hobbyist to be one of the best constructed 90cm dishes available. GEOSATpro and Azure Shine have formed a partnership to provide high quality satellite dish products at low competitive prices.Patented rolled reflector edges provide the support necessary to maintain a perfect parabola. The LNBF arm is attached to the elevation bracket and strengthened by two support arms creating the strongest tripod LNBF support structure of any consumer dish available. This exclusive design provides an incredibly strong support for even the largest LNBFs. The sturdy adjustable elevation bracket allows for dish aiming angles from 0 - 90 degrees. All hardware is hardened SAE with serrated locking washer nuts. The attractive and durable finish coating of charcoal colored textured poly withstands the elements and will look great for many years!GEOSATpro 90cm exclusive "easy level" universal wall/roof tripod post makes dish mounting a breeze. No more hassles with off center foot plates throwing the mast out of plumb. The unique slotted post attachment to the footer plate allows for 360 degree post leveling, not like other designs which only permit front to back adjustments. No need to carry a level on your install. The included bubble spirit level is placed into the top of the mast for quick verification that the post is plumb and level. Tripod legs can be mounted at any point on the mast, at any angle to assure a solid and secure mounting even in the strongest wind. GEOSATpro hardware is developed to be simply the best!Technical SpecificationsEffective Aperture: 90cm/36inchDiameter: 93.5cmx85cmF/D: .5Offset Angle: 24.62 degreesSurface Accuracy: +/-0.01 deg."Elevation Range: 0-90 degFinish: Textured Poly Powder Coat over Galvanized Steel.Feed Support: Universal 40mm / 23mm ClampFrequency Range: 10.95 - 12.75 GHzGain at 12.5 Ghz: 39.6 dBiAperture Efficiency: 75%Beam Width: -3 dB - 1.8 deg.Wind Loading: Operational 65MPH Survival 125MPH
Depending on the needs and interests of each FTA user, different models of these various components may be better suited to achieve the best results and receive the greatest range of station access. Many providers and products exist to meet these needs, but one very helpful and affordable resource for FTA receivers, dishes, and other equipment is Ocean Satellite.
For those looking to finally wave goodbye to erratic cable bills and unreliable tech service, FTA satellites systems can either be self-installed or set up by experienced professionals for a reasonable, one-time fee. With so many options and packages available to maximize the setup for particular viewing needs, some sources strongly recommend professional installation.
Universal Remote (Including FTA boxes)- USB 2.0- Ethernet Port- RGB Component Video Output- RCA Composite Video Output- S-VIDEO Output- SPDIF Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround- DiSEqC Control Versions 1.0, 1.2 and USALS- Auto TP Update- Theme Sort- Channel Search- Channel Auto Tune- PVR Scheduling- USB PVR w/ Time shift- Parental Control- Fast Multi-Satellite Search- Multi-Channel Recall function- SID, Alphabetical and TP sort
Alternatively, for those who are handier with technology, various guides are available and sufficient to provide step-by-step instructions for installation. As with anything, the most important factor in reaching the right choice for an FTA system is making sure to research which products and satellite networks will provide the access to desired broadcasts.
Today's FTA systems are categorized as either stationary, providing access to a regionalized set of signals, or motorized, enabling the dish antenna to rotate among the signal ranges of a viewer's desired network choices. Motorized systems therefore require an additional component known as a Digital Satellite Equipment Control Motor (Diseqc).
For example, while a stationary system installed in the United States may only provide access to satellites within range of its fixed position, a motorized system linking the receiver to the diseqc motor can adjust to pick up quality signals from international stations without any further modification.
For television viewers of varying lifestyles, the prospect of obtaining free satellite TV channels from stations around the world presents an enticing, worthwhile solution. Those living in a foreign country may opt to install an FTA system in place of contracting with a foreign company, thus getting free access to programs based in their own country and language.
For others, watching television may be a leisure activity not worth the cost of a monthly subscription. An FTA satellite system could thus offer a low-cost way to obtain only what a viewer really cares to see. Whatever the case may be, FTA satellites are an underrated but growing solution for many who recognize that many broadcasters provide free programming for those willing to find a legal alternative to subscription-based television.

The Web Design Survey, 2007
by ALA Staff
112 Reader CommentsBack to the Article
It was definitely a good first survey, though I have some comments like some of the others posted.
Definately the biggest issue I see is in whether we are self-employed, someone who incorporated their business and is considered an employee of it, traditional business employees, unpaid interns or volunteers, or any combination of the above. Since I've always been a business owner/self-employed (literally, from the point I was legally able to work), I'll show you what the way I felt like I had to answer some of these was. Who knows, it might give you an idea of how other business owners may have answered.
#4. What is your job title?
I typically try to answer those kinds of questions with what I do most often. So for this, I answered that – but already you are losing data because there is no question before it asking if I am a business owner or not (should be able to choose more than one).
#6. Regardless of how competent you believe yourself to be, in which of these areas does your employer expect you to be proficient?
For this I simply answered what I expected from myself.
18. How many web design jobs have you held.
I wasn't sure about this question. Again seems geared toward the employer/employee thing, but my instinct was to answer this as how many clients I'd done work for. Obviously that's not a good reflection of the number because it only goes up to 10 and its far beyond that. I could've instead answered '1' since I've always worked for myself, but that wouldn't necessarily be a good reflection either. Perhaps the question could instead ask – how many different websites have you worked on – that could potentially cover both freelancers and employees.
Other comments – not related to the employee/employer thing.
You might want to make #9 (What is your educational background?) a question that includes the word 'some'. As in 'some college' or in some way indicating that the person might actually be in school currently. I sometimes portion out work to interns, so they would fit in that category of 'some school.'
Question #15. For how many years have you been working as a web professional?
You might want to ask also how many years total someone has worked in the tech industry. You might find some interesting data about people who are web pros now who were previously in other fields. Personally, I started out as a desktop applications developer, then became a database architect, and then to web design. Might show some interesting data.
Just my two cents :)
Thanks for very interesting article. btw. I really enjoyed reading all of your articles. It's interesting to read ideas, and observations from someone else's point of view"¦ makes you think more. Greetings
Is there an archive of people who have completed this form? It would be interesting to see who has.
I've not read all the messages, so someone else may have mentioned it … many of the questions weren't that relevant to people who work in Education – teaching Web design.
I noted earlier that someone else commented on the difficulties of self rating on skill sets – a binary choice between "can" & "can't" doesn't give much scope. A few more grades such as "know a little", "know a reasonable amount" "Considered by my colleagues a guru – but I know that there's still more I could learn" could be useful.
The introduction asked where we live, who we are, yet there are very few questions related to these issues.
Do you own or rent?
What city do you live in (there is a big difference between living in NYC and Burlington, VT)?
What is your monthly housing cost?
How do you get to work?
-public transportation
What do you think are the most relevant new technologies?
-virtual worlds
-online games
More in-depth questions about technology would be great too..
What platform do you use?
What browser do you use for personal web surfing?
What browser do you test web sites in?
What software do you use (design)?
What software do you use (development)?
What software do you use (multimedia)?
What other mediums are you developing/designing for?
-Cell phone
-online games
-console games
-online video
What technology are you looking to add to your arsenal
-video editing
-video production
-3D modelling
-3D animation
-mobile apps
We could go alot deeper than this survey. I've seen surveys with these same questions for years, they are to general. You asked if we had a web site/blog. They are 2 VERY distinctly different things. Most web designers/developers have a portfolio site, sometimes their own, sometimes on a portal like CreativeHotlist. But other than showing off their work, how many of us are talking about what is going on in the world or our industry via blogs? Are they using text blogs or vlogs? How many to podcasts or vodcasts? How many own their own URL? How many own their own SWURL (Synthetic World URL)? What do we use for email (webmail, squirrel mail, office, etc)? What is their primary communication platform with clients (phone, email, face-to-face, web meeting, virtual world, letters, etc.).
Come on, let's get into the nitty gritty!
Thanks to all who commented on ways we might improve the survey as a tool for discovering where and how folks like us work. Many of these suggestions will find their way into next year's survey.
To those who wished the survey had asked about platforms, browsers, standards, etc., we will run a second survey later this year that asks precisely these kinds of questions.
Two surveys are needed. The most critical survey, in our estimation, was the one that tried to find out who we are and how we work. That was the survey more than 30,000 of you have just completed. We will publish the results in about a month, and we will conduct the survey again next year.
The second survey concerns skills and attitudes. Look for that survey in four or five months.
A List Apart intends to run both surveys each year, about six months apart. Over the next few years, with your help and support, we will be able to sketch the first true picture of web design as it is practiced around the world. Thanks again.
Congratulations on taking the first step, ALA. It was a trail blazing effort, and I am honored that I had a chance to participate.
Somewhere in this sea of comments I read an excellent observation, that this survey has "touched some nerves…" indeed. I think the complaints, feedback, and tide of comments stem from an enthusiastic, passionate (albeit sometimes juvenile and immature) crowd who wanted themselves represented as accurately as possible, afraid that the chance may never come 'round again.
Glad to see you're taking it all in stride, and I hope the next one will be as illuminating as I expect this one will be.
… We will publish the results in about a month, …
posted at 11:38 am on May 20, 2007 by Jeffrey Zeldman
Can't wait ;-)
eey all,
overall the survey seems good, …
The suspense is killing me. Are you guys EVER going to post the results?
Come on guys, it's been a month since the last promise, we're dying of curiosity here!
Seriously, its been quite some time. Is there any progress?
Did something go wrong?
I too cannot wait!
Is everything ok? Need help? I'm really curious about the results and hoping that they aren't too out of date when we see them.
The data will be becoming redundant soon it seems. I sure hope this wasn't a data mining exercise.
Just seen Zeldman has announced they will be publishing the results today! Hooray for my sense of timing… :/
This message has been appeared.
The web design survey is now closed.
What's next???
I like it
Noticed a typo on question 24. $10,000-$19,9999 has an extra 9. Thanks Don.
Matt Cutts from Google has included in his blogs that he intends to penalise websites that are "˜over optimised' on back links, directory listings and inappropriate article submissions. I have kept my ears close to the ground on this issue and lately I have been reading a few horrific stories of the outcome. I don't want to alarm or scaremonger but you will need to go out and find the facts for yourself and consider how it could impact on you if you are a website owner.
The uncertainty at the moment is felt by all — whether web owners have participated in Good organic link building or even SEO Companies who have built up good portfolio's and used proper "˜White Hat' methods, nobody knows the outcome of the Google Algorithms. If you have access to Google analytics for your website all you can do is monitor the trends, the sad thing here is that there is no "˜system restore' and if you have built up a number of poorly placed back links you will find it near impossible to have these removed. You Could ask your SEO specialist why your hits have dropped and ask what are they going to do about it.
I know a few who are just sitting back and praying!

Photo of Red Lantern's Grilled Sirloin with Chile, Garlic and Ginger courtesy of Secrets of the Red Lantern Cookbook
I needed a few more shots for the cookbook, and asked my good friends Matt and Dannika of MattikaArts if he'd like to take a shot {pun intended..haha i soooo funny! snort.} at photographing some Asian ingredients and be published in the Steamy Kitchen Cookbook!
This all happened via email and I swear to Buddha that I heard him giggle.
<– this guy…he giggled in his email, I could hear it between the commas!
And look at the beautiful photos he took – they will be in the Ingredients section of the Steamy Kitchen Cookbook!

How could you not fall in love with this man???
Time sure flies by…one minute I'm posting Red Lantern's Crisp Parcels or Vietnamese Spring Rolls (Cha Gio) and giving away a copy of the caress-me-now cookbook, Secrets of the Red Lantern by Pauline Nguyen – and then a week passes by. I was supposed to draw a random name as the winner. Oops! Got busy, missed deadline…so what's another day? Well, then another week passes by and here I am, totally apologizing to you for being late announcing the lucky winner of Secrets of the Red Lantern Cookbook!
So, without further delay (cuz you know I'm good at that!) the winner of the cookbook is
Grace says:
Just by reading your post I'm completely sold and intensely craving spring rolls. I prefer my with bean thread/veggie/pork filling but when necessity and/or boredom strikes I grab just about anything from the fridge.
Congrats Grace! Email me your deets and I'll have the publisher send the book to you: jaden{at}steamykitchen{dot}com.
Bo Nuong Toi Gung
Two 1/2 pound sirloin steaks
2 handfuls shredded green papaya
1 small handful mixed herbs (perilla, Vietnamese mint, and basil)
1 tablespoon fried shallots
1 tablespoon dried shrimp, soaked in hot water for 5 minutes and drained
3 tablespoons dipping fish sauce
2 teaspoons pickled chili
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
¾-inch piece of ginger, grated with microplane grater
2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
1 tablespoon superfine sugar
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Pinch of salt
Mix all the marinade ingredients together until the sugar dissolves. Add the steaks and marinate for 2 hours in the fridge. Grill the steaks over medium to high heat, to your preference (6 minutes for rare, 10 minutes for medium), then rest the steaks for 5 minutes. Reheat the steaks on the grill pan, then cut into thin slices.
Serve with a salad of green papaya, mixed herbs, fried shallots, and dried shrimp, dressed with dipping fish sauce.
Nuoc Mam Cham
3 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cloves garlic
1 bird's-eye chili
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
Combine the fish sauce, rice vinegar, ½ cup of water, and sugar in a saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir well and cook until just before boiling point is reached, then allow to cool. To serve, finely chop the garlic and chile and stir in the lime juice.
Hanh Phi
½ pound shallots, peeled
4 cups vegetable oil
Finely slice the shallots and wash under cold water. Dry the shallots with a cloth, then set them aside on some paper towel until they are completely dry.
Put the oil in a wok and heat to 350 degrees F, or until a cube of bread dropped in the oil browns in 15 seconds. Fry the shallots in small batches until they turn golden brown, then remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel.
The fried shallots are best eaten freshly fried but will keep for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
—Recipe from Secrets of the Red Lantern by Pauline Nguyen
Even if the book didn't have recipes, those photos will sell it. Yummy!
Matt did a great job on the photos Jaden!!!
Wow! Gorgeous…both the pic of food and Matt ;o)
Love the beautiful photos with the ingredients!
Oh wow, now I really want Asian food, even though I just had it last night!
Luv all the Asian ingredients! Can't live without them! Excellent shots!
I love the shot of the cilantro, scallions, lemongrass, etc. Beautiful and green!
The marinade sounds fabulous. Very versatile too!
My ingredients photos usually look like a pile of stuff I dropped on the cutting board, lol. This however is a fantastic photo (and that recipe sounds delicious, too)!
Fantastic photos by Matt. I guess there is hope for food bloggers wannabe (like me) in the Pacific Northwest to take great pictures. I need to learn the tricks of taking the pictures when the sun is not shining.
I just finished reading the memoirs in the Secrets of the Red Lantern. Now, it's time to try some of the recipes.
Well, of course he was giggling! And so was Dannika! But oh my – my eye teeth to be able to take such beautiful photos!!
And now I find myself craving Asian food. Love the sound of this dish – could you pass me some, please?
photos taken under natural lighting are the best!
Gosh, i only wish i could take pictures so pretty!
I think i'll buy 350 copies of your cookbook and use the pictures as wallpaper for my bedroom.
Ironically, my sweetie just brought the Secrets of the Red Lantern home from the library last night and I didn't even request it. I love it, it is such a gorgeous book. Every since I had a Vietnamese roomie in college I have been trying to perfect Vietnamese spring rolls. Those are beautiful photos. I can't wait for your book!

Advice and legislation relating to the management and control of general licence birds.
Certain members of the crow family, some gulls and pigeons are recognised as causing persistent problems. In certain situations, the only satisfactory solution to a problem is to issue a licence permitting an otherwise prohibited action under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended).
It is not normally necessary to apply for a specific licence for these species, as Natural England issues general dispensations for the whole of England (commonly referred to as general licences'). These permit certain actions to be taken for various specified purposes. Full details of the species affected, the permited actions and the purposes covered are detailed in general licences. Please note that since 1st March 2005 house sparrows and starlings are no longer included on most general licences.
Occasionally, an issue arises involving one of these species which cannot be satisfactorily resolved by a method permitted under a general licence. In this situation licence applications will be considered to use a prohibited method only if there is no other satisfactory solution. Examples of such prohibited methods are: stupefying bait (e.g. alphachloralose), mist nets and carbon dioxide. Application procedures are outlined in the section below.
Additionally licences may be required to carry out actions as part of a research project or for educational or conservation purposes. An application form can be downloaded from the links in the How to apply for a licence below.
Problems can often be resolved without recourse to a licence. Advisory leaflets are available which may help you find a solution. There are also a series of answers to frequently asked questions: (558kb) which may be of assistance. If you require additional guidance contact us. We will either assist you directly or put you in touch with your local Wildlife Adviser. Advisers can offer more specific guidance to you over the telephone.
If the action proposed is not covered by a general licence and you wish to apply for a specific licence you will need to complete an application form. The forms can be downloaded from this website, then they can either be posted to the address on the form or completed electronically and submitted by e-mail. In urgent cases, applications may be accepted by facsimile. If you are unable to download a form they can be obtained directly from Wildlife Management and Licensing. There is no charge for this licence or for advice.
Following receipt of your completed application, a Wildlife Adviser may contact you to discuss the case or to arrange a visit to the site. If a site visit is carried out the adviser will assess the situation and provide guidance on the remedial options available.
We aim to process licence applications within 15 working days from date of receipt.

Meet Our Wii Fit Bloggers
Ann Enzminger
My name is Ann Bettison Enzminger. I moved to New York 10 years ago to pursue my dreams of rock stardom and live in a city with 24-hour public transportation. I am in a band called "A Brief View of the Hudson" which the Onion has referred to as "surprisingly tolerable" and the New York Press labeled the Best Folk Rock Duo for 2005. I am the Salon Director at Mark Garrison Salon on the Upper East Side and am therefore, more often than not, perfectly coiffed by a fantastic team of people. I'm thinking about asking my boss if we can hook up my Wii to one of the flat screens in the lobby to get the staff's reaction to this crazy gadget.
I am from Texas, and for most of my life I was a fat kid whose mother weighed 98 pounds. Because I gave up my dreams of being an elite gymnast at age 10, I just expanded like my Wii avatar right before everybody's eyes. Although the weight might be thrilled to live it up on my inner thighs, I am not happy. I want to be fit. I want to be Wii fit.

|GRN Recycle Talk FAQ
Date: Thu, 1 May 97 10:46 WET DST From: email@example.com (Fred Friedman) Subject: Re: Social, economic, environmental issues associated with plastics recycling (Joel Miller)
May 1, 1997
Dear Joel Miller,
Being a social historian, and being employed at Friedom Research (part-time) on social/economic/historical studies, this is the sort of question that I like. That said, I also know that there is a huge universe out there of these sorts of studies, by all sorts of people and corporations with axes to grind, money to make, employment to obtain, etc. Let me just give you a few ones that I like as a social historian:
Knee deep and rising: America s recycling crisis by Lodge and Rayport, in Harvard Business Review, Sept/Oct, 1991.
Blumberg, Louis and Robert Gottleib, WAR ON WASTE (Island Press, 1989)
Resources, Resisstances, and Economic Growth, by Lewis E. Hill, in International Journal of Social Economics, Vol 17 #6
The Next Efficiency Revolution: Creating a Sustainable Materials Economy by Young and Sachs, WorldWatch Institute Paper, Sept, 1994
Recycling for Profit: The New Green Business Frontier by David Biddle, in Harvard Business Review, Nov/Dec, 1993.

His charts assume that women play female characters and men play male characters. That's a very large presumption to make considering that about half of the female characters in my guild alone are played by men. In fact, this nullifies about half of the article since he actually can't make that assumption. You can say that when people choose to play Night Elves, a large portion of them choose to play female NE's but you can't say that those are women choosing to play females.

Mike is right, it is people who identified as people being female or male in real life, not in game. It is *NOT* the gender of their characters ingame.

Depends on how the data was gathered. The Bartle test is a questionnaire. So the question phrasing and number of people that took the test would matter most.

Unofficial patch plugs 0-day Adobe security vuln.
Security researchers have developed an unofficial patch for a zero-day Adobe Acrobat and Reader vulnerability that's become the subject of hacker attacks. Adobe acknowledged the vulnerability last week but said an official patch wouldn't be available until 11 March. This three week window of vulnerability before an update …
I got a better idea....
What, a patch for Acrobat that doesn't involve start, run, appwiz.cpl, and removing Adobe's shoddy products and replacing them with Foxit or Sumatra, KPDF or XPDF, Open office or one of the many free PDF printers? Wow.
Cue the name callers^W^W Adobe apologists, with their shouts of freetard or some other sophisticated insult!
Look, you may have wasted time and money on that software, but there's no need to take out on others.
Shame on Adobe
They're the ones with access to the source code, yet a thrid party has issued a binary patch (after a bit of reverse engineering, I presume). Shame on them !
Go and sit on the naughty step, Adobe !
When I get an email from my bank stating that I really need to re-enter my account number and password *now* -- here's the link, I ignore it. Now I have someone telling me that I really need to run this piece of code with full administrative privileges *now* -- and here's the link.
Sheesh! With "security experts" like these, and users willing to do whatever they are told, it's no wonder we have a malware problem.
Oh, and I dare say "these people" are terribly trustworthy, and that their code *does* plug the vulnerability they talk about. I wonder what it opens instead, intentionally or not? Do you think Adobe, who know the code better than most, might be holding back because oh-I-don't-know they want to be sure that a hurried fix doesn't make matters worse? In the meantime, if you want to be genuinely helpful to end-users and not encourage reckless behaviour, wouldn't it be better to point them in the direction of a *tested* workaround, like an alternative PDF reader?
Why use Acrobat anyway?
If you're just reading PDFs, why use a massive piece of bloatware like Acrobat when Foxit Reader is available for free - and doesn't contain the vulnerability. (www.foxitsoftware.com)
Adobe updates
One thing I noticed about Adobe updates is that it usually needs to restart the computer twice for some reason. That is why I abandoned it and use Foxit instead. :-) If only there was an alternative for Palm OS that is free.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2013 Cadillac Escalade EXT
By KBB.com Editors
At the time the Escalade EXT was created, its purpose was to give Cadillac an entrant in the then-growing market for big sport utility vehicles and full-size pickups, and with features not available on the competition. While the Escalade ESV is derived from the long-wheelbase Chevrolet Suburban, the EXT is Cadillac's take on Chevy's innovative Avalanche truck, which quickly converts from a closed SUV to a surprisingly capable pickup via a removable Midgate Panel divider system that extends the usable bed into the rear-seat area. The 2010 Cadillac Escalade EXT boasts GM's latest chassis, body, interior and powertrain upgrades, as well as a generous allotment of new convenience and safety features.
If you need or want full-size truck towing capabilities, along with upscale Cadillac luxury and image and the versatility to change from a quiet, comfortable closed SUV to a pickup with more cargo capacity, this is the one.
If convert-a-truck flexibility and Cadillac crests are not important to you, any modern full-size crew-cab pickup can be equipped to do the job of serious hauling and comfortable occupant-coddling at well below the EXT's price. And Chevy's Avalanche offers the same Midgate Panel feature for a lot less money.
For 2010, Cadillac adds Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation) to its 6.2-liter V8 engine. Other new features include a console mounted USB port, a locking steering column and seat-mounted front side thorax airbags.
Driving Impressions This heavy full-frame luxury truck drives like a very large car. It's no sport sedan, but it is more agile, sure-footed and Cadillac-comfortable than most any other full-size...truck you'll encounter, at least in part due to its fully-boxed frame, capable suspension, wide tracks and improved rack-and-pinion steering. Both braking and steering feel, especially, are vastly improved compared to previous GM trucks. The 6.2-liter V8 idles aggressively at rest and roars impressively at full throttle as it thrusts the big vehicle forward with eye-opening authority.
Remote Vehicle Starting
This is one of those features that you may not want to live without once you've become used to it, especially in hot summer or cold winter weather. At the touch of a key-fob button from afar, it can start the engine and begin cooling or heating the cabin before you're even inside.
Convert-a-Cab Midgate Panel
This clever removable divider system quickly converts the EXT from a closed-cabin SUV with a five-foot pickup bed to a surprisingly capable pickup by extending the bed nearly three feet into the rear seat area.
The 2010 Cadillac Escalade EXT's interior is luxury-plush, surprisingly quiet and raises the luxury and refinement bars another couple of notches. The instrument panel is set low and far forward to improve real and perceived room. It houses quad round gauges with white needles, blue-light inlays and white LED backlighting. "Nuance" leather covers the seats, doors, steering wheel and center console, while the interior pillars wear rich-looking fabric. And then there's the manually-folding Midgate Panel bulkhead that allows the five-passenger EXT to convert into a two-passenger pickup with an eight-foot bed. It's pretty slick, but one potential down-side is that, in that configuration, the entire interior is open to the great outdoors and all the security, weather and dirt issues that includes.Exterior
Those who bought the original Escalade EXT will find even more to like in the 2010 model, beginning with its styling. Slightly larger and heavier due to added structure and features, it appears perhaps somewhat smaller thanks to its crisp, sleek lines. The swept-back 57-degree windshield contributes to an impressive aerodynamic drag coefficient of 0.36, which helps improve fuel economy and reduce wind noise, and careful detailing shows in its large, finely-crafted Cadillac signature grille, front fender vent ports and tasteful chrome accents.
The 2010 Cadillac Escalade EXT's comprehensive standard content begins with all-wheel drive, road-sensing suspension, automatic rear leveling, Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist, a three-piece rigid cargo cover and remote vehicle starting. Interior features include leather-covered 14-way power heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, steering wheel radio controls, rear audio controls, power adjustable pedals, DVD navigation with rear backup camera, Bose Surround Sound, XM Satellite Radio and OnStar with turn-by-turn navigation. Additional safety and convenience features include advanced front air bags with passenger sensing, head-curtain side air bags for both rows, front side thorax airbags, four-wheel antilock disc brakes (ABS), Stabilitrak stability control, rain-sensing wipers and heated washer fluid.
With so much standard equipment, the EXT's option list is not long, and includes 22-inch tires on chromed aluminum wheels, rear-seat entertainment system, power adjustable running boards, a power sliding sunroof, heated and cooled front seats a heated steering wheel, Magnetic Ride Control suspension and IntelliBeam automatic headlamps.
Powering every 2010 Cadillac Escalade EXT is a 6.2-liter all-aluminum V8 with Active Fuel Management cylinder deactivation, which cuts to four the number of active cylinders when under light load. Variable valve timing (VVT) optimizes camshaft timing to improve low-rpm torque and high-rpm power, along with emissions and fuel economy.
6.2-liter V8
403 hp at 5700 rpm
417 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4300 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 12/19 (gasoline), 9/14 (E85)

"Great driving vehicle, with enough guts to get you off to a quick start, braking is ok considering the weight of the vehicle. Drives like a dream, quite, and smooth. Very comfortable. Downside which has been corrected in their 2015 model is the removal of the 3rd. row back seats. They are heavy, and a pain to get in and out. Almost impossible for a women of normal strength to handle."
