Things Back To Normal For Mike Brown
Posted By Yannis Koutroupis On July 17, 2012 @ 5:03 am In All,Main Page,NBA | No Comments
Los Angeles Lakers head coach Mike Brown may have had the toughest job in the NBA last year. With an abbreviated training camp due to the lockout, he had to replace one of the greatest head coaches of all-time in Phil Jackson. Brown had very little time to install his system, which was a far contrast from the triangle offense that the players had an intimate understanding of and experienced a lot of success with.
With things back to normal in the NBA, Brown has ample time this preseason to work with the team in preparation for the 2012-13 season. There's no lack of practice time and he'll be able to do a lot more reiterating of his philosophies rather than teaching them from scratch.
"I'm excited about that," Brown said to HOOPSWORLD. "I'm excited to get into training camp and talking basketball with these guys, not thinking that I've got a game coming up around the corner, knowing that we're going to have a nice, long training camp on top of some preseason games to get ourselves ready and then throughout the course of the year we're going to have enough time to practice too so I know I'm looking forward to it. I think our guys are too so we'll see what happens."
What will potentially help Brown even more than a standard training camp is the addition of eight time All-Star point guard Steve Nash, who the team acquired in a sign-and-trade for multiple draft picks and cash.
"One thing, he's a leader and he's a very intelligent leader so he's going to help add to that," Brown said. "We already have a lot of intelligent guys and Kobe's done a fantastic job in the leadership department, which will continue so I think he'll fit in seamlessly in those areas. On top of that, you're talking about a guy that just goes out and understands the game, especially on the offensive end of the floor very well.
"He's going to make the game easier for all of us including myself. We're going to put him in pick-and-rolls, we're going to run him off the screen. He does a great job. A lot of people don't see this and don't understand this but he does a great job of setting screens and you talk about a dual threat, he's a guy you can't leave open so he's going to give a lot of guys a lot more room to operate. I'm looking forward to spending time with him on the court, as well as off the court."
Most of the talk regarding Nash to the Lakers has revolved around what he's going to bring to them offensively and rightfully so. He's the best playmaker they've had since Hall of Fame point guard Magic Johnson was orchestrating showtime.
There are few who believe that he'll do much to help them at the position defensively. After all, Nash has never been known for his defense. But, he also has never played for a defensive-oriented coach like Brown. He's also never had two seven footers roaming the paint to help him like he will in Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum.
"With his intelligence, he's a guy that can fit in well," Brown said. "He'll know where his help is built into or where his help is coming from and as long as he keeps funneling the ball to his help and he works hard, which he'll do. He'll be fine. He's extremely intelligent. I don't foresee any problems with Steve on that end of the floor."
While Brown acknowledged that Nash will make his job easier, he's feeling no less pressure going into his second season with the Lakers.
"Any head job in the NBA, I don't care where you are, there's a lot of pressure," Brown said. "You could be coaching any club and if you don't get wins, which is what this business is about, you can get fired and so I don't look at it as that. I go out and coach the team and I go out and coach the team the way I think it needs to be coached and if some things fall into place and you do your job, you'll have a chance to win a lot of nights.
"The only difference between L.A. and Cleveland in my opinion is there's more media, so there's more attention not only to our superstar but to the guys that are our 14th, 15th guys, they're getting just as much media as our top guys because of the media outlets out there, but other than that the pressure's all the same which I enjoy."
Brown is currently searching for a couple of assistant coaches to help him take on that pressure since he lost two in Quin Synder and Ettore Messina, who will be coaching CSKA Moscow next season.
"Quin Snyder and Ettore Messina did a terrific job for us this past year and obviously they've moved on," Brown said. "They've had other opportunities that they're going to do or take advantage of. Right now, I'm still in the process of trying to figure out who I want to have to replace those guys. I have a few guys in mind but I still have some guys that I'm going to talk to so there's no rush, no timetable but hopefully we'll get it wrapped up in a few weeks."
While Brown is on the hunt to fill out his staff, he's going to be watching two of his players, Gasol and Bryant, represent their countries in the 2012 London Olympic Games. It will be a bitter sweet experience for Brown, who is hoping they make it through injury free.
"I think every coach feels that way," Brown said. "You know they have to do it because when you talk about representing your country, that's a big deal but in the same breath you pray that nothing's going to happen. Yes, you probably wouldn't want them to play at the end of the day but it's a huge honor and those guys really want to do it so I just wish them the best."
On the positive side, both players will be in shape and ready to go when the team gets together for training camp in October. After competing for a gold medal, transitioning over to chasing another NBA championship should be smooth.

text: Home Politics Economic Gap Widens for Blacks Your Take: A recent report calls on policymakers to address racial inequality in jobs and income. By: Christian E. Weller and Julie Ajinkya Posted: April 21 2012 12:47 AM 0 Joe Raedle/Getty Images The economic recovery following the worst recession since the Great Depression is quickly approaching its third anniversary in June. Many people probably don't feel up to celebrating as they struggle to find good jobs and pay their bills while continuing to feel the economic pain left over from the Great Recession. This is especially true for communities of color, as we document with our colleague, Jane Farrell, in a recent report released by the Center for American Progress. Our research shows that communities of color generally enjoy less economic security than whites, often substantially so, and in some instances, the gap in economic security by race and ethnicity has widened during the recession and the subsequent recovery. This is particularly the case for African Americans. The economic security of communities of color lags behind that of whites in large part because they have less access to good jobs. The portion of all communities of color without employer-provided health insurance, for instance, tends to be greater than that of whites, even though some communities of color -- Latinos and Asians -- have similar employment opportunities as whites. The share of African Americans without health insurance in 2010, the last year for which data are available, was 20.8 percent, and the respective share for Latinos was 30.7 percent during the same time. This compares to 18.1 percent of Asians and 11.7 percent of whites without health insurance in 2010. Having a job is clearly not enough to enjoy the same economic security as whites, although it is a good start. This gap in access to good jobs is even clearer when we look at what communities of color are earning, compared to their white counterparts. As of the fourth quarter of 2011, median weekly earnings for African Americans were $617 (in constant 2011 dollars) and Latinos earned $549. In comparison, whites earned $774. There has also been a rapid rise in the number of African Americans and Latinos who are working at or below the federal minimum wage. From 2009 to 2011, a full two years into the recovery, the number of African Americans earning minimum wage increased by 16.6 percent and Latino minimum-wage workers increased by 15.8 percent, while whites only increased by 5.2 percent. The data show that in some instances, the gap in economic security widened during and after the Great Recession, especially for African Americans. Economic security for most groups started to improve after 2009, while it stayed low for African Americans in 2010 and 2011. The unemployment rate, for example, was lower at the end of 2011 than at the end of the recession in June 2009 for all groups, except for African Americans. The African-American unemployment rate at the end of 2011 was 15.5 percent and thus higher than the 14.9 percent black unemployment rate at the end of the recession in June 2009. Unemployment rates have fallen for all groups in 2012, but African Americans have years of catching up to do and still have unemployment rates that are twice as high (13.9 percent) as those of whites, who had an unemployment rate of 7.3 percent in the first quarter of 2012. Our general conclusions from the data do not uncover anything new. Communities of color have experienced persistently and substantially less economic security than whites for decades. And, historical experience also shows that recessions typically prove worse for communities of color than for whites. Unemployment rates rise faster and further and stay higher longer for communities of color than for whites. Furthermore, African Americans already did not benefit as much as other groups did from the economic growth of the last economic recovery from 2001 to 2007. That is, African Americans were already economically more vulnerable than other groups before the Great Recession started at the end of 2007. The data only show that racial and ethnic inequities got substantially worse than in the past few years due to the severity of the recent economic crisis. Communities of color can ill afford for policymakers to dither again on identifying and implementing targeted policies that will start to shrink the existing racial and ethnic inequities. Accelerating the still rather anemic job creation is obviously a top priority to create more economic security for all households. Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

I had not heard of this brand so I did not know what to expect and I did like this product ok but was not a favorite . Maybe it was me and since I had not tried this before maybe I was expecting too much.
Very pleased with this concealer! I've found that it lasts all day and doesn't require any touch ups. I also love that the antioxidant ingredients are actually helping combat skin stressors. Will buy again!

One of my most popular recipes with friends and family, in the days before I went vegan, was a spinach chicken curry.
It was a verdant treat, nutritious with leafy spinach, nutty with almond paste and fragrant with spices. But for some weird, unfathomable reason I had never tried to veganize this, my once-signature dish, until this past weekend. I used vegan "chicken" and mushrooms instead of chicken, and the result was so good that I surprised myself.
The best part about freeing this recipe from animal products is that you make what is a fairly healthy dish even far more healthier, because vegan chicken substitutes are of course cholesterol-free and usually low-calorie. They also pack a ton of protein, just like meat. Each serving of this very hearty recipe has just 128 calories, more than 10 grams of protein, and more than 4 grams of dietary fiber.
The recipe is also really easy to put together– I use frozen spinach and if you have some frozen vegan chicken substitute, like Gardein, on hand, you don't even need to run to the market for anything because you likely already have all the ingredients in the pantry. But the final dish is so impressive that everyone will assume you spent a day and a half slaving over it.
If you have one of those friends who's always telling you how tasty animals are, this is the perfect dish to get him or her to shut up for good. Paired with some of my raisin and nut basmati pilaf, it is — without exaggeration– to die for. Best part? There's no killing involved.
Enjoy, all!
Spinach "Chicken" Curry
(Makes 8 servings)
1 10-oz package of frozen spinach, thawed in the microwave with a tablespoon of water. I just put the frozen block in a microwave-proof bowl with the water and zap it for five minutes. Puree in a blender and set aside.
1 package chicken substitute, like Gardein Scallopini, cut into cubes.
2 cups mushrooms (I used crimini but button or shiitake would be great too). Halve the mushrooms if they're small, and quarter if they're larger.
1 onion, minced
1 tbsp ginger paste
1 tbsp garlic paste
1 cup tomato puree
1 tbsp coriander powder
1 tbsp garam masala
1 tsp red chilli powder (cayenne for a big hit, paprika if you prefer your curries milder)
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tbsp olive oil
1/3 cup of almonds, soaked in hot water for two hours, then pureed in a blender to a smooth paste with 1 cup water. (You can use pistachios which make this dish even more wonderful– I didn't have any on hand this time. Cashews are also a good substitute)
Salt to taste
1/2 cup chopped coriander leaves
Juice of 1 lemon
Heat oil in a skillet. Add the onions and saute until brown spots start to appear, about five minutes over medium heat.
Add the ginger and garlic paste and saute another minute.
Add the tomato puree and the powdered spices and saute until the tomato darkens and starts to express oil from the sides.
Add the mushrooms and saute until they start to soften, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the vegan chicken chunks and saute another three to four minutes.
Add the spinach puree and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often to prevent any sticking, until the spinach darkens and all the water has evaporated.
Add the almond paste and 1/2 to 1 cup water (depending on how thick you want your curry) and bring to a boil.
Add lemon juice and salt to taste and turn off the heat. Garnish with coriander leaves. Serve hot.

Excellent value for money! My daughter was instantly attracted to these pretty pink sandals which looked really comfortable yet supportive. After a day wearing them her feet are still in one piece (not like some that cut feet to bits) and have walked a few miles. Highly recommended!
20/07/2012 10:26:43
The sandals seem ideal for our grand-daughter for her to wear during the summer, with plenty of adjustment to help extend their wearing life as she grows. The price was very keen and represented good value for money.
02/09/2013 10:33:37
The straps are way too long and look a bit funny when the sandal is done up - they flap out!! Having said that, good basic product, suitable for boys in summer, running about etc.
31/07/2013 08:41:57
These sandals are comfy and look good. My daughter had to be told to take them off at night as she wanted to go to sleep wearing them! These are worth the money i paid.

After searching everywhere I finally found these sandals for my daughter. She says they're comfortable and likes the colours. They were a great price too! Thank you
26/07/2013 14:40:33
The straps are very long for narrow feet but other than that they are a good product. It is great to finally have somewhere in Totnes where I can buy boys sandals.
17/07/2012 22:03:43
We bought these for our little girl for next year, but think they will fit her this year even though they are the next size up.
28/07/2012 16:28:09
Comfortable, hard wearing and stylish , good for walking in hot weather adds a bit more foot protection than regular sandals !
23/07/2012 11:01:53
These have never been off my daughter's feet since I bought them! She loves them and they are very durable and easy wearing.
09/07/2013 19:05:45
great product, excellent value, they stand up to my little boy, will buy again from there.
01/07/2013 14:48:50
Excellent value for money, pretty to look at and comfy to wear so my daughter tells me.

Adjustable straps make this a good fit, even for narrow feet. Stylish and comfortable.

Other shoes from this shop have held up really well so I hope these will to.

Gettin' piggy with it at Henricus
Photo by Roger Walk for the Henrico Citizen 11/24/2013
Henricus Historical Park has a new, messy guest. Eleanor, a rare five-month-old Tamworth pig, was donated this month to the Chesterfield park by the Chesterfield County Farm Bureau as part of an effort to enhance the living history museum's partnership with the Virginia Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom. Eleanor and her livestock pig and goat neighbors at the park will be a special attraction for the schoolchildren and others who visit the Henricus Historical Park. Eventually, she will triple from her current 150-pound weight and grow to about two feet tall. > Read more.

Scene sparkles, food falls flat
American Tap Room's new Willow Lawn location offers breath-taking atmosphere, but average dishes
On a rare warm night in late November, the newly opened American Tap Room was, to my surprise, bright and packed with guests – many eating outside.
I didn't have a clue what to expect from this unheard-of restaurant in an unexpected spot – right in the heart of Willow Lawn. I came to learn it's not unheard of; it's a restaurant chain out of Northern Virginia.
"It definitely improves the look of Willow Lawn," said my friend, who ventured to the new spot with me on a Monday night for dinner one week after the restaurant opened. > Read more.
Overstuffed turkeys
Free Birds offers some giggles, but more eye-rolling
Thanksgiving season is upon us – a time for friends, family, and recklessly indulgent overeating. As we settle into our annual turkey-induced food coma, there's no better time to take in a festive holiday film. And Free Birds, for better or worse, has the distinguished honor of being one of the only Thanksgiving-themed movies currently on the market.
The film stars Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson as Reggie and Jake, two turkeys who can't stand the Thanksgiving tradition of watching their neighbors be plucked and served for dinner. > Read more.

Uzbekistan's Top Picks
Top 5 Must-See Monuments of Uzbekistan
- Ark Fortress: Bukhara's massive fortress is a most impressive architectural wonder. Masked in legend, tourists flock to this grand structure to both admire its existence and gain some understanding of local history. If the walls could talk they would speak of royal dynasties, Mongol conquerors and Bolshevik sieges, all taking place over hundreds of years of history.
- Shah-i-Zinda Mausoleum: This ancient, sprawling complex features mausoleums and other buildings used for rituals and worship. With intricately carved mosaics, elaborate tile work and arched doors, a visit here reveals architectural gems and fascinating moments in Central Asia's history.
- Ak-Saray Palace: Shakhrisabz is home to many monumental buildings but one of the most spectacular is the ruins of the awesome Ak-Saray Palace. With coloured, glazed bricks that shimmer in the sun, elegant mosaics and splendid calligraphy, this monument is a standout of Uzbekistan.
- Bibi Khanum Mosque: This huge, holy site located in Samarkand was built all the way back in the 14th century. Suffering damage due to earthquakes and the ravages of time, it has now been partially restored and stands as a magnificent example of Central Asian Islamic architecture.
- The Registan: Hailed as one of Central Asia's most recognisable monuments, the Registan's towering minarets, blue domes and beautiful, tiled exteriors are decadently dazzling. The interiors are as exceptional as the facade, so don't miss a visit here while travelling through Samarkand.

One of the joint struggles we are involved in is B.D.S., called for by long, long ago by the Israeli anti-authoritarian anti-capitalists and adopted over the years by other Israeli activists and Palestinian organizations. In the last few years it has collected momentum and though Madonna did not respect it, she tried to co-opt it. The media gave space to the turning down of free tickets donated by Madonna to the more radical Israeli activists, and the State forces' preventing two Palestinian activists from the Ni'ilin joint struggle to attend. In addition to the joint demos and activities in the regular locations in the occupied Palestinian regions and within Israel, comrades were involved in the intensified struggle for the survival of African refugees, victims of Israeli State repression and the extreme right incitement. [Italiano] Madonna who refused to abide with the request of B.D.S. activists to boycott Israel, and start her international tour in Israel, tried to clean her conscience by inviting 600 peace activists (including the Anarchists Against the Wall - AAtW) with free tickets. The AAtW refused publicly: "Our Palestinian friends and allies cannot attend the concert because they are living under policies of apartheid that prohibit their freedom of movement. We cannot accept this bribe, when our comrades are in administrative detention, and in an open prison in Gaza, denied basic human rights." The Solidarity movement too refused to be bribed by Madonna. |

Winchester BID teams up with city quiz league to boost evening economy
12:00pm Sunday 13th October 2013 in Winchester
WINCHESTER Business Improvement District has launched a new scheme to promote the city's evening economy.
The BID is sponsoring the Winchester Quiz League, a competition for pubs and clubs around the district that has been running for 25 years.
Chris Turner, BID Executive Director, said: "Our local pubs are part of the cultural and economic heritage of the city and some have been in existence for hundreds of years. The local quiz league is part of that modern heritage and keeps pubs the interesting and vibrant places they are."
Peter Byford, league organiser, added: "Winchester Quiz League is pleased to have Winchester BID involved this season and looks forward to the mutual benefits for all."
BID already has several schemes to support the evening economy, such as Pubwatch, while the city has been awarded a Purple Flag for night-time safety.
As part of the deal, this year's quiz competitions have been renamed The BID League, The PubWatch Gallon and The Purple Flag Cup.
The Crown & Anchor A Team are current champions but the league is still recruiting and to register visit quizleague.net or email email@example.com.

Recipe: Sticky Date Pudding with Mascarpone
Now that autumn's leaves are poised to drop in deference to winter, we want our sweaters bulky, our socks straight from the dryer, and our desserts served warm.
Thankfully, the inseparable Vinny Dotolo and Jon Shook have done us a solid by sharing their take on a toasty pub classic: sticky toffee pudding. Like everything else we've seen from this Los Angeles duo, the dish is mind-numbingly indulgent, but its technique is sharp. While conventional toffee pudding recipes instruct you to fold soaked dates into a batter, Dotolo and Shook blend the fruit into a smooth paste, which produces a cake with a more polished texture. Smothered in a boozy caramel and topped with a generous dollop of mascarpone, this updated dessert will warm you from the inside out.

The Winemakers of Women in Whites
On top of our outstanding roster of female chefs, last Friday's "Women in Whites" gala spotlighted a range of wines from wineries that are owned by women or employ female winemakers. Curated by 2013 JBF Award winner Merry Edwards, these bottles are a snapshot of America's top wine talent. We're sharing their tasting notes below.
Domaine Carneros Brut 2009 / CEO and founding winemaking Eileen Crane
Hailed as "the vintage of the decade," 2009 was an ideal year for Domaine Carneros: grapes grew slowly and consistently, building layers of elegant flavor. This superlative cuvée offers aromas of apple, lime zest, and honeycomb, plus a classic, brioche-filled palate with fine pinpoint bubbles and a rich, lingering finish.
Pellegrini Pinot Noir 2011/ Winemaker Lynn Krausmann
A classic Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, this garnet-hued red has elegant aromas of cherry fruit, rose petal, and spice; its medium-bod... Read more >

text: Harley is still gunning for those that favor the dark side with two new model releases this past week (1/25/10). For the Darth Vader crowd there's the the Death Star AKA the 2010 CVO Ultra. And for the rebellious young Luke Skywalker in all of us there's the Landspeeder or as Harley affectionately calls it, the Forty-Eight. With the introduction of this new CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide ($35,999), it appears as though Harley was getting some heat from some of it's long haul riders for not having an off-the-showroom-floor-blacked-out-dark custom model that fit their liking. Outfitted with the CVO 110ci engine, six-speed tranny, Tour-Pak, Gloss Black Rumble Collection accessories, low smoked windshield, dual control heated seat, leather passenger backrest with adjustable lumbar support, and a handlebar-mounted Road Tech Zumo 660 GPS Navigtor--for starters. The bodywork is doused in Crimson Mist Black/Dark Slate with Flame graphics, and according to Harley the black Cadillac of the touring models features "approximately 185 unique black parts, components and accessories," but why no black pipes? Supplies are limited so order yours now. Ours is on its way from a galaxy far far away for a road test review in a future issue For those who are into lighter weight and more frequent gas stops, Harley offers its newest dark custom Sporty model (I think that makes three now?) the Forty-Eight ($10,499). Going for the real minimal approach, Harley slimmed down the gas tank to mere 2.1 gallon design, but still features the classic peanut shape. The Forty-Eight Sporty sports a chunked up front end with wide triple clamps and new forks, and a big slab of 130mm rubber on a 16 inch spoked rim leading the way. With the four cam 1200cc engine pushing the 567 pound brawler down the street, steam rolling over Miata's and Smart Cars shouldn't be a problem. Short and sweet fenders keep the clutter to a minimum, while underslung mirrors, low profile handlebars, a solo seat, and a smattering of black components keep styling subtle and tight. The name Forty-Eight is pretty interesting and fitting for this bike. It has to do with....ah! You'll have to read our upcoming Road Test and accompanying Historically Speaking article to find out.

I'm assuming deactivating Skyrim HD in NMM and enabling the Bethesda HD textures would work right? Question is which one is better?
Just do a backup anyway to be safe (never a bad idea) and just install the new; you will answer all your own questions soon enough.
yeah i just did. and im going to delete the data file in my skyrim folder, to recreate a new one thats all vanilla
Lol not only that. I'm logged in (see username top right), it's asking me to login again, with captcha to prove that I'm human and now also sent me a verification email because I'm using a new computer or new browser, or because 'its been a while' (I'm still using same pc, same browser, and login Steam every day)... and apparently it's stuck in a loop because I've been waiting for more than 10 minutes. All this to get me to log in while I'm already logged in. Inception anyone?
Right click on the game in Steam list and go to Properties and "Verify Integrity of Game Cache" option. That should redownload anything missing.
(facepalm) Go verify game cache in Steam. It'll take a while considering the vanilla data folder is around 4GB
i hope the high res texture pack is at 2048x2048 nevermind, just looked at a few peoples screen shots and it barely does anything! it think the resolutions are 1024x1024 EDIT: since the retexture thing doesnt seem to do much, im going to get it still, but only for things that my mods Ive been using doesnt. Hopefully that works?
Here's one comparison shot (few more in that thread): http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4239914&postcount=1727
lamest texture update ever ?. dam i was really hoping that it would beat all the mod ones silly me.. maybe you should turn it of at your next chance..
Don't see a mayor improvement but, I do notice some sharper textures and livelier colors and it's free!!!
It's downloading finally, at 965KB/s. But I'm not impressed with the comparative screenshots... so far.. Possibly, what on earth is in this large 3GB+ update? Well, I'll try it out, and if HD Skyrim was better I'd go back to that.
http://atomhard.99k.org/pub/Skyrim HD textures/Skyrim HD.html better image to judge by, improvement is noticeable might not be on par with mods but heres the kicker this works on all in game objects and isnt a piece meal compilation of users works that dont always match up in terms of style etc. so keep that in mind, and anything your mods dont fix these texture improve so its really a win win
So wood no longer looks like crap, the decorative edges look sharper, and veggies like carrots are still hexagon? I will keep my other mods. It would be awesomely amazing to have a mod that causes the cold to have more of a NPC and environment effect on other characters like animals.
Exactly what I like about it VS any MMO I ever tried. I hate having to teamplay on MMO's, here you can wander and take your time, build your levels of magic or weapons and sneak by just killing everything and then go kick some ass, not having to worry about others and their fag plans.

Introduced at 2012 New York Auto Show and Coming to Melloy Later This Year
Albuquerque 4/17/2012 02:05 AM GMT (TransWorldNews)
Melloy Dodge Introduces the All New 2013 Dodge Dart
Melloy Dodge Offers Sizzling Savings with its Summer Inventory Reduction
Melloy Dodge to Introduce Exclusive Compressed Natural Gas Powered 2013 RAM 2500 HD Truck
Melloy Dodge, Albuquerque, New Mexico's trusted and respected Dodge Ram vehicle dealership, auto finance team, and certified service department, is thrilled at the unveiling of the new 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 truck that was recently put on display at the 2012 New York Auto Show.
Available later this year in the Melloy Dodge showroom and with pricing announced at a later date, this new Ram 1500 has many enviable and attractive features:
· It features a 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine and eight-speed automatic transmission with an optional 5.7L HEMI V8. This new engine delivers 42 percent more horsepower, 13 percent more torque, and 20 percent greater fuel economy compared to its predecessor.
· The 5.7L HEMI V8 has a fuel-saving cylinder shut-off as well as 395-horespower and 407 pound-feet of torque as well as 20 percent greater fuel economy than the 2012 V8 had.
Official fuel economy figures have yet to be released and will be announced closer to the new 2013 Ram 1500 truck sale date. The claim of greater fuel economy is thanks to the eight-speed automatic transmission, which are double the gears that were previously offered with the four-speed automatic. As one of the industry's first pick-up trucks with stop-start technology, the Ram 1500 is able to enjoy improved fuel economy by up to 3.3 percent, which is considered to be an increase of nearly one mile per gallon that can be added to the truck's city driving cycle.
Other enhancements to the new Ram 1500 include the following features:
· Electric power steering;
· Pulse-width modulation;
· Air suspension for an improved ride;
· Automatic load level for greater off-road capability;
· A tougher exterior with a completely new front end, grille, LED front turn signals and tail lights, and quad-project headlights; and
· Low rolling-resistance factory tires.
There has been considerable weight reduction compared to the previously model by approximately thirty pounds thanks to the newly redesigned frame, twenty-six pounds lighter because of the aluminum hood, and seventy-six pounds lighter due to the Pentastar V6 along with the new TorqueFlite 8 transmission (or thirty pounds lighter with the V8 model).
And, like all of the Dodge Ram truck models, it has a best-in-class powertrain warranty. This warranty offers five years/100,000 miles.

Amishi Jha, Ph.D. is probably one of the most influential women you never heard of.
She's everywhere: smiling next to media mogul Arianna Huffington, meeting with the military and Congress in Washington, advising her friend Goldie Hawn, speaking to leaders at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, with the Dalai Lama in India.
At 42, Jha, a neuroscientist and associate professor of psychology at the University of Miami, is the ultimate oxymoron — a rock star in the field of contemplative neuroscience. She studies how practices like mindfulness meditation change the structure and function of the brain, increasing attention and working memory while minimizing stress.
Practiced for centuries by Eastern cultures, mindfulness is defined as paying attention in the present moment.
Although she is following in the footsteps of giants in the field, they say Jha is blazing her own trail. Her work is influencing such disparate fields as the military, primary education and business. Jha currently has five active research grants with the U.S. Army, which is trying to help soldiers protect their minds as well as their bodies amid multiple deployments and life-altering injuries.
U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Walter E. Piatt and his soldiers had just returned in 2009 from back-to-back deployments to Iraq when he expressed to an army doctor a desire to help prepare soldiers mentally and emotionally. The doctor connected him with Jha, who came to speak to military leaders about her research.
Now commander of the Seventh U.S. Army Joint Multinational Training Command, stationed in Germany, Piatt says within five minutes of listening to Jha's presentation, she had described challenges soldiers were facing after multiple deployments. "She pretty much described me," he said in a telephone interview. "It was not the nicest thing to hear, but she was very accurate.
"Her study really interested me because we train all the time to get better, and we see results," he says. "We weren't doing anything for our minds, just giving soldiers information."
To administer the training for her research, Jha enlisted Elizabeth Stanley, Ph.D., founder of the Mind Fitness Training Institute and associate professor of security studies at Georgetown University. Stanley, a former U.S. Army military intelligence officer, developed the mindfulness-based training.
"We fight now in a cognitive struggle with an enemy that can't be defeated through technology. They've taken our strengths, big weapons and technology, and changed the game," Piatt says. "They attack on their terms. They don't care about civilian casualties. Our best weapons in that fight is the soldiers' minds.
"You're not letting your mind wander, you're focusing straight on. This is what her technique teaches you to do, focus on the task.''
In addition, he says, according to research, soldiers who do not receive the training are more predisposed to serious levels of stress and trauma.
"In the military," Piatt says, "we all suffer from post-traumatic stress. Everyone does. The first thing we have to do is admit that. We now acknowledge that."
Soldiers who are taught before deployment can regulate their stressful thoughts by increasing focus on the present moment, rather than continually reliving stressful events or worrying about the future.

I was told the students (aged 16 to 19) learn science in their pottery lessons.
I questioned the name of the college and was told we can only learn science by 'doing it'. Everything else is imaginary according to the woman I spoke to.
I suppose when these people get on a plane they imagine it might fly.
Yeah, and good luck learning molecular orbital theory by making vases.
Waldof learning is what happens when art students think they can do science.
Plus, anthroposophy is a pile of horse crap.
