SALT LAKE CITY — After dropping the first two games of a series against the Omaha Storm Chasers (59-59), the Salt Lake Bees (67-51) were able to split the series at 2-games apiece with a 3-0 victory Tuesday night in front of 6,522 fans at Spring Mobile Ballpark.
Both teams' bats were quiet until the bottom of the sixth inning, when Salt Lake's Andrew Romine came up to the plate and broke up lefty pitcher Everett Teaford's (L, 4-3) no-hitter with a base knock to left field.
Matt Long then walked, putting a runner in scoring position with one out for left fielder Roberto Lopez, who roped a double to the gap in right-center field, scoring Romine and landing himself on second base.
First baseman Efren Navarro then stepped to the plate and smacked a single, bringing home both Long and Lopez and putting the Bees up 3-0 after six innings of play.
Romine was impressive at the plate, as he went 2 for 3 with two singles to lead the home team.
"Drew has been doing a great job for us at the top of the lineup. Once again, tonight, he was kind of a catalyst for us in that inning and did a great job disrupting that pitcher's timing," said Bees manager Keith Johnson. "Once he got to second base, Lopez got ahead of the count and we were able to push across three runs, so it was a great night for him (Romine)."
Starting pitcher Barry Enright (W, 7-5) kept the Storm Chasers scoreless through seven innings, and gave up just five hits, zero runs and one walk while striking out four batters to help the Bees take and protect the lead.
"He just did a great job attacking the zone, throwing quality strikes early in counts, forcing the issue, making them swing the bats and making them mishit balls," said Johnson.
Reliever Jason Urquidez (H, 1) strolled out to the mound in the top of the eighth for the Bees, giving up back-to-back hits to the first two batters before managing to get out of the inning virtually unscathed.
Urquidez's two-hit, zero-run eighth inning put the home team just three outs away from another victory.
The Bees came out in the bottom of the eighth and got back-to-back singles from right fielder Drew Heid and Romine, but failed to get any insurance runs across the plate.
Reliever Kevin Johnson (S, 3) got the nod in the top of the ninth and came out to wrap things up for Salt Lake. Johnson quickly got three up, three down and helped the Bees earn the 3-0 victory, splitting the series 2-2 after dropping the first two matchups between the ballclubs.
"We're not lacking any confidence right now. It's just a matter of just continuing to play quality baseball and take care of our side of the ball," Johnson added.
With the win, Salt Lake improved to 6-2 on its homestand and 67-51 overall, stretching its lead over the Tacoma Rainiers to five games in the Pacific Northern Division.
The Bees will kick off an eight-game road trip Thursday night against the Round Rock Express (62-56) at 6:05 p.m. at Dell Diamond Stadium.

Strong demand for storage boosts Sovran's earnings
Sovran Self Storage's stores are bursting at the seams, and that's pushing the Amherst self-storage company's profits up.
Sovran's earnings jumped by 24 percent during the third quarter as the company's Uncle Bob's self-storage facilities ended the summer with occupancy levels that topped 90 percent for the second straight quarter.
And with demand on the upswing, Sovran was able to charge more to consumers looking to rent space. The company's average rental rates rose by 3.6 percent.
"Occupancy remains high. Rental rates are increasing. Incentives are decreasing," said David Rogers, Sovran's chief executive officer, during a conference call Wednesday. "We had a really solid quarter."
Sovran's earnings jumped to $31.1 million, or 98 cents per share, up from $25.1 million, or 85 cents per share, a year ago. The earnings topped analyst expectations by a penny.
And Sovran executives said they expect earnings to shoot up by about 29 percent during the current quarter to between 98 cents and $1 per share, compared with 77 cents per share a year ago. That's slightly better than the 97 cents per share that analysts were expecting.
With plenty of customers looking to rent self-storage facilities, Sovran was able to raise its average rents to $11.07 per square foot at its stores that have been open for at least a year, up from $10.69 a year ago. Nearly 10 percent of Sovran's customers were hit with a rate increase during the quarter, about double the percentage of a year ago, said Edward Killeen, a Sovran vice president.
"Pricing power continues to show in the rents we collected," said Andrew J. Gregoire, Sovran's chief financial officer.
That also allowed the company to reduce the value of the concessions it offers to many customers who are beginning to rent one of its self-storage units. Sovran operates 475 self-storage facilities in 25 states, mostly in the eastern half of the country. Sovran offered concessions to just 40 percent of its new customers during the summer, down from 48 percent in the spring and 56 percent a year ago. The value of those discounts has dropped by 45 percent, falling to $770,000 during the third quarter, compared with $1.2 million at the beginning of the year.
Even so, Sovran's customers are sticking around longer, with 56 percent staying for more than a year, up from 54 percent a year ago.
"We're trying to reduce the churn a little bit," Rogers said.
Sovran said the company bought three additional stores during the quarter, including two on Long Island and one in Colorado, for a total purchase price of $27.9 million. The company also has deals to buy two other properties, one in Toms River, N.J., and the other in Palm Beach, Fla., for a combined price of $14.9 million.
The company also agreed to lease four stores on Long Island and western Connecticut and rebrand them under its Uncle Bob's name. The company sold its only store in Dayton, Ohio, for $3.2 million.
The company's shares closed down $2.20, or 2.94 percent, at $72.60 Wednesday.

Strongiloidea Ancyclostomatidae Family Ancylostomatidae - Morphology
Most species are rather stout, and the anterior end is curved dorsally, giving the worm a hooklike appearance.
The buccal capsule is large and anheavily sclerotized, armed with cutting plates, teeth, lancets, or a dorsal cone
The esophagus is stout, with a swollen posterior end, giving it a club shape. It is mainly muscular, corresponding to its action as a powerful pump.
Esophageal glands
Cervical papillae are present near the rear level of the nerve ring.
Males have a conspicuous copulatory bursa, consisting of two broad lateral lobes and a smaller dorsal lobe, all supported by fleshy rays . Spicules are simple, needlelike.
Females have a simple, conical tail. The vulva is postequatorial, and two ovaries are present. About 5% of the daily output of eggs is found in the uteri at any one time;
Eggs is several thousand per day for as long as nine years.
Strongiloidea Ancyclostomatidae - copulatory bursa
Ventral view of a typical strongyloid copulatory bursa. The basic pattern is found in all Strongyloidea.
Necator americanus egg in early cleavage stage, as normally passed in feces.
Size is 65 µm to 75 µm by 36 µm to 40 µm. Eggs of Ancy-lostoma duodenale, 56 µm to 60 µm by 35 µm to 40 µm, are not distinguishable.
Hookworm egg containing fully developed J1.
Strongiloidea Ancyclostomatidae - Life cycle (Biology)
Hookworms mature and mate in the small in-testine of their host .
Embryos develop into 2,4 or several- cell stages by the time they are passed with feces
Species infecting humans cannot be diagnosed reliably by their eggs alone.
Eggs require warmth, shade, and moisture for continued de-velopment.
Coprophagous insects may mix the feces with soil and air, thus hastening embryogenesis, which is completed within 24 to 48 hours in ideal conditions
Newly hatched J1 larva has a oesophagus with characteristic constriction at the level of the nerve ring (like rhabditiform J1s of Strongyloides spp).
Juveniles live and, feed on fecal matter, and molt their cuticle in two to three days. J2, continue to feed and grow and after 5 days molt to J3, which is infective to a host.
J3 s have intestine filled with food particles that sustain them through the nonfeeding
J3 Live in the upper few millimeters of soil or surface layer of water surrounding soil particles. Freezing or desiccation kills them quickly. They migrate vertically up or down, in the soil, depending on the weather or time of day following humidity. Under ideal conditions, they can live for several weeks .
They are stimulated into sinusoidal motion by a variety of environmental cues, such as touch, vibration, water currents, heat, or light.
Infection occurs when J3s contact a host's skinWarmth and fatty acids in skin induces penetration behavior : They burrow into skin epidermis, shed second- stage cuticle as they they resume feeding .
Necator americanus secretes a variety of enzymes that hydrolyze skin macro-molecules.
Difference N. americanus v/s A.duodenale
Necator americanus \must penetrate the skin to infect humans
Ancylostoma duodenale can penetrate skin and oral mucosa, be passed in mother's milk, and probably be acquired transplacentally.
Strongiloidea Ancyclostomatidae - J3Adult inside host
Following Skin penetration J3 enter blood or lymph vessel then are carried to the heart and then to the lungs.
in Lungs They cross air spaces of alveoli and are carried by ciliary action up the respiratory mucociliary escalator to the glottis. They are swallowed and finally arrive in the small intestine.
in intestine: There they attach to the mucosa, grow, and molt to the fourth stage J4, which has an enlarged buccal capsule. The worms feed heavily on blood for five weeks using a multi- protease cascade to digest host hemoglobin After further growth, worms become sexually mature
Difference N. americanus v/s A.duodenale
N americanus mature in 5 weeks
A. duodenale can undergo developmental arrest for up to 38 weeks,
its maturation coinciding with seasonal return of environmental conditions favorable to transmission.
Strongiloidea Ancyclostomatidae - Necator americanus - in New World
Necator americanus
Anterior margin of the buccal capsule has a pair of dorsal and a pair of ventral cutting plates surrounding it.
In addition, a pair of subdorsal and a pair of subventral teeth in the rear of the buccal capsule.
The duct of the dorsal esophageal gland opens on a conspicuous cone that projects into the buccal cavity
Males are 7 -9 mm long and have a bursa diagnos-tic for the genus
The needlelike spicules have minute barbs at their tips and are fused distally.
Females are 9 -11 mm long and have their vulva located in about the middle of their body. They produce about 5000 to 10,000 eggs per day, and the normal life span is three to five years.
Primarily a tropical parasite, N. americanus is the most common species in humans in most of the world.
About 95% of hookworms in the southern United States are this species.
En face view of the mouth of Necator americanus.
Note the two broad cutting plates in the ventrol-ateral margins
The anterior margin of the buccal capsule has two ventral plates, each with two large teeth that are fused at their bases A pair of small teeth is found in the depths of the capsule. The duct of the dorsal esophageal gland runs in a ridge in the dorsal wall of the buccal capsule and opens at the vertex of a deep notch on the dorsal margin of the capsule.
Strongiloidea Ancyclostomatidae - Ancylostoma duodenale - Epidemiology and Morphology
Ancylostoma duodenale Old World southern,Europe, northern Africa, India, China, and Southeast Asia, in-cluding small areas of the United States, Caribbean Islands, and South America
It was known since the first century, to cause a serious anemia in miners.
Mines offer an ideal habitat for egg and juvenile development because of their constancy in temperature and humidity.
The problem is apt to occur whenever miners are promiscuous in defecation habits.
Adult males are 8 mm to 11 mm long and have a bursa characteristic for the species .The needlelike spicules have simple tips and are never fused distally.
Fe-males are 10 mm to 13 mm long, with the vulva located about a third of the body length from the posterior end. A single female can lay from 10,000 to 30,000 eggs per day, and the normal life span is one year.
Ancylostoma duodenale, dorsal view. Notice the powerful ventral teeth.
Life cycle of hookworms.
( a) Shelled embryo passed in feces.
( b) First- stage juvenile ( rhabditiform) hatches.
( c) Two molts ensue and then third- stage juvenile ( infective, filariform) enters developmental arrest until it reaches a new host.
( d) Ancylostoma duodenale may infect humans by oral route.
( e) Filariform juveniles penetrate skin of humans.
( f) Juveniles migrate through circulatory system to lungs.
( g) Juveniles break out of circulatory system into alveoli and then migrate to small intestine via the trachea. ( h) Adult worms develop in small intestine, mate, and produce eggs.
Life Cycle (intestinal hookworm infection):
Causal Agents:The human hookworms include the nematode species, Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus. A larger group of hookworms infecting animals can invade and parasitize humans (A. ceylanicum) or can penetrate the human skin (causing cutaneous larva migrans), but do not develop any further (A. braziliense, A. caninum, Uncinaria stenocephala). Occasionally A. caninum larvae may migrate to the human intestine, causing eosinophilic enteritis. Ancylostoma caninum larvae have also been implicated as a cause of diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis.
Eggs are passed in the stool , and under favorable conditions (moisture, warmth, shade), larvae hatch in 1 to 2 days. The released rhabditiform larvae grow in the feces and/or the soil , and after 5 to 10 days (and two molts) they become filariform (third-stage) larvae that are infective . These infective larvae can survive 3 to 4 weeks in favorable environmental conditions. On contact with the human host, the larvae penetrate the skin and are carried through the blood vessels to the heart and then to the lungs. They penetrate into the pulmonary alveoli, ascend the bronchial tree to the pharynx, and are swallowed . The larvae reach the small intestine, where they reside and mature into adults. Adult worms live in the lumen of the small intestine, where they attach to the intestinal wall with resultant blood loss by the host . Most adult worms are eliminated in 1 to 2 years, but the longevity may reach several years.Some A. duodenale larvae, following penetration of the host skin, can become dormant (in the intestine or muscle). In addition, infection by A. duodenale may probably also occur by the oral and transmammary route. N. americanus, however, requires a transpulmonary migration phase.

Life Cycle (cutaneous larval migrans):
Strongiloidea Ancyclostomatidae - Hookworm disease
Hookworm Disease
hookworm infection asymptomatic25 N. ameri-canus in a person will cause no symptoms
hookworm disease depends on three factors:
strongly on number of worms present, species of hookworm, and nutritional condition of victim
100 to 500 produce considerable dam-age and moderate symptoms,
500 to 1000 result in severe symptoms and grave damage,
>1000 worms causes very grave damage that may be accompanied by drastic and often fatal consequences. Because Ancylostoma spp. suck more blood than N. americanus, fewer worms cause greater disease;
little protective immunity, hook-worms have evolved strategies to evade the host's defense sys-tem, and several :For example,
Ancylostoma spp. secrete a neutrophil inhibition factor
Necator americanus secretes acetyl cholinesterase, which inhibits gut peristalsis and possibly is an anti- inflammatory factor. It also secretes glutathione- S- transferase and superoxide dismutase, sub-stances that interfere with antibody- dependent, cell- mediated cytotoxicity ( ADCC, \). \
Hookworms secrete a protein that binds to human collagen, thus preventing blood clotting,
Strongiloidea Ancyclostomatidae - Epidemiology.
poor sanitation and appropriate environmental conditions is necessary for high endemicity.
Environmental conditions : that favor the development and survival of juveniles pro-mote transmission. The disease is restricted to
warmer parts of the world because juveniles will not develop to maturity at less than 17° C, with 23° C to 30° C being optimal.
Frost kills eggs and juveniles.
Oxygen is necessary for hatching of eggs and juvenile development because their metabolism is aerobic. Thus, juveniles will not develop in undiluted feces or in waterlogged soil.
Both heavy clay and coarse sandy soils are unfavorable for the parasite, the lat-ter because juveniles are also sensitive to desiccation.
Alternate drying and moistening are particularly damaging to juveniles; hence, very sandy soils become noninfective after brief periods of frequent rainfall. However,
juveniles live in the film of water surrounding soil particles,
. Juveniles are quite sensitive to direct sunlight and sur-vive best in shady locations, such as coffee, banana, or sugarcane plantations. Humans working in such plantations often have preferred defecation sites, not out in the open where juveniles would be killed by sun, of course, but in shady, cool, secluded spots beneficial for juvenile development.
Repeated return of people to the defecation site exposes them to continual reinfection. Furthermore, use of preferred defecation sites makes it possible for hookworms to be endemic in otherwise quite arid areas.
Juveniles develop best near a neutral pH, and acid or alkaline soils inhibit development,
Urine mixed with feces is fatal to eggs,
disinfectants or fertilizers are lethal to free- living stages.
Salt in the water or soil inhibits hatching and is fatal to juveniles. the juvenile larvae.
Strongiloidea Ancyclostomatidae - Hookworm disease pathogenosis
Hookworm disease manifests three main phases of pathogenesis:
the cutaneous or invasion period,
the migration or pulmonary phase
the intestinal phase. When a juvenile enters an unsuitable host, it gener-ates another pathogenic condition, which will be dis-cussed separately.
Cutaneous Phase. The cutaneous phase begins when juveniles penetrate skin. They do little damage to superficial layers, since they seem to slip through tiny cracks between skin scales or penetrate hair follicles. Once in the dermis, however, their attack on blood vessels initiates an innate immune reaction that may isolate and kill the worms. If, as usually happens, pyogenic bacteria are introduced into skin with the invading juvenile, a urticarial reaction will result, causing a condition known as ground itch.
Pulmonary Phase. The pulmonary phase occurs when juveniles break out of the lung capillary bed into alveoli and progress up bronchi to the throat. Each site hemorrhages slightly, with serious consequences in massive infections; however, very large numbers of juveniles migrating through the lungs simultaneously are rare. The phase is usually asymptomatic, although there may be some dry coughing and sore throat. A pneumonitis may indicate severe infection.
Strongiloidea Ancyclostomatidae - Hookworm disease intestinal phase
Intestinal Phase.
. On reaching the small intestine, young worms attach to the mucosa with their strong buccal capsule and teeth, and
they begin to feed on blood
In heavy infections, worms are found from the pyloric stomach to the ascending colon, but usually they are restricted to the anterior third of the small intes-tine.
Worms move from place to place, and blood loss is exacerbated by bleeding at sites of former attachment.
Worms pass substantially more blood through their digestive tracts than would appear necessary
Patients with heavy infections may lose up to 200 ml of blood per day, but around 40% or so of the iron may be reabsorbed before it leaves the intestine.
Nevertheless, a moderate hookworm infection will gradually produce an iron- deficiency anemia as body reserves of iron are used up. Severity of anemia depends on worm load and dietary iron intake of a patient. Slight, intermittent abdominal pain, loss of normal appetite, and desire to eat soil ( geophagy) are common symptoms of moderate hook-worm disease. ( Certain areas in the southern United States became locally famous for the quality of their clay soil, and people traveled for miles to eat it. In the early 1920s an enterprising person began a mail- order business, ship-ping clay to hookworm sufferers throughout the country!)
Heavy Infections. In very heavy infections, patients suf-fer severe protein deficiency, with dry skin and hair, edema, and potbelly in children and with delayed puberty, mental dullness, heart failure, and death.
hookworm disease is usually manifested in the presence of malnutrition and is often complicated by infection with other worms and/ or malaria. The drain of protein and iron is catastrophic to a per-son subsisting on a minimal diet.
Such chronic malnutri-ion, particularly in the young, often causes stunted growth and below- average intelligence,
but treatment for the worms can significantly increase fitness, appetite, and growth. 42, 66
Hookworm attached to intestinal mucosa. Notice how the ventral tooth in the depth of the buccal capsule lacerates the host tissue.
Strongiloidea Ancyclostomatidae - Hookworm disease - Diagnosis and Treatment
Diagnosis. Demonstration of hookworm eggs or worms themselves in feces is, as usual, the only definitive diagno-sis of the disease
PCR methods have been described for these identifications. Differentiation can be accomplished by recovery of adults after anthelmintic treat-ment or by culturing juveniles from feces. Differentiation with a simple PCR- RFLP method has promise.
Treatment. It is not necessary or possible to distinguish N. americanus eggs from those of Ancylostoma ssp., Mebendazole is the drug of choice for treatment, as it removes both species of hookworm and also any concurrent infection with Ascaris lumbricoides. Single- dose therapy is inexpensive, convenient, and effective.
Treatment for hookworm disease should always include dietary supplementation.
Strongiloidea Ancyclostomatidae - Hookworm disease - Creeping Eruption
Creeping Eruption
Also known as cutaneous larva migrans,
is caused by invasive juvenile hookworms of species or strains normally maturing in animals other than humans. Juveniles manage to penetrate the skin of humans but are incapable of successfully completing migration to the intestine. However, before they are overcome by immune effectors, they produce distressing and occasionally serious complica-tions of the skin
Possibly any species of hookworm can cause this condition,. Ancylostoma braziliense appears to be the most common agent in its geographic range. It is a common parasite of dogs and cats of the Gulf Coast and New World tropics.
Vacationers to tropical resorts may encounter difficulty obtaining a correct diagnosis and medication upon returning home where cooler weather prevails.
After entering the top layers of epithelium, juveniles are usually incapable of penetrating the basal layer ( stratum ger-minativum), so they begin an aimless wandering. As they tunnel through skin, they leave a red, itchy wound that usu-ally becomes infected by pyogenic bacteria. Worms may live for weeks or months. It is known that some can enter muscle fibers and become dormant.
Occur on feet and hands
.Thiabendazole has revolutionized treatment of creeping eruption, and topical application of a thiabendazole ointment has supplanted all other forms of treatment.

Lynchburg Couple Featured on GMA Live!
Lynchburg, VA - It's the latest thing on YouTube: an underwater marriage proposal. In no time, it went from the video website to Good Morning America Live!, their online show. And the newly engaged couple lives right here in Lynchburg.
They got engaged last Wednesday. Five days later, they were interviewed by GMA anchors via Skype. Tuesday, they told{}ABC 13{}all about their adventurous proposal.
Jessica Forbes and Joseph House have been together a little more than a year.
"I didn't think anything of it because he was videotaping the fish and figurines,"{}said Forbes.
On their last vacation to the Cayman islands, they went scuba diving.
"I was like, 'What is he doing?' Then I saw him start tripping on his flipper to get on one knee," said Forbes.
Joseph opened a little box at the bottom of the sea. Inside it was a map of their relationship.
"Then it says, 'You are here,' with a big treasure chest at the bottom of the map with a big rock in it, and it says, 'are you going to marry me or not?'"
But she didn't say yes.
"This means okay in scuba diving so I kept going like this,"{}said Forbes.
She said okay. To keep the ring from floating away, he used dental floss - the strongest kind, of course.
Her first words when she floated to the top were, "I'm getting married."
"I was hyperventilating. I was like we have to get out of the water," said Forbes.
After months of planning, Joseph thought it turned out okay.
"Other than tripping on my flipper, and trying to put it on the right hand, I think it went pretty well," said{}House.
"But I love those parts,"{}said Forbes, laughing.
House{}coordinated with the scuba shop six months in advance. Jessica says she never saw it coming.

In an interview with Edmunds, Hyundai CEO Dave Zuchowski spoke of a new vehicle that
"would be a vehicle that would be really designed for Gen Y, for new first-time younger buyers…Think of maybe something that looks like a Juke or something that has edgy, dynamic styling."
Doesn't Hyundai already have something like that?
The Veloster, launched in 2012, was intended to be the vehicle that attracted a younger crowd, with funky styling, a focus on fuel economy and neat tech features. Sales of the Veloster have been modest, with Hyundai moving about 30,000 units annually.
The bigger issue at hand is whether Hyundai wants to have two vehicles targeting Gen Y remaining in the lineup, and if 30,000 units is enough to sustain the Veloster's lifespan into the next-generation. For one thing, the coupe market is shrinking, whereas the crossover market is only growing. A new, Gen Y oriented crossover is also a product that could easily be sold globally, whereas a pseudo-coupe like the Veloster is very much a niche product.
If I were a betting man, I'd look for the Veloster to die come 2016, and be replaced by this new, youth-oriented small CUV. The finite marketing dollars that are at Hyundai's disposal would arguably be better spent on the CUV, rather than trying to market both cars and have their volumes split in half. One is playing in a growing segment. Soon, the Chevrolet Trax, Honda HR-V and others will join what is now the most popular segment in America. The fortunes of the coupe market are much less promising.

Automakers think CUVs are the answer to everything. How do they not see that the kiddies don't want to drive mom's not-a-minivan?

The mom-mobile is the Tucson or Santa Fe. The baby crossover will be the kiddie car.
Like it or not, it's a good business move. As regular crossovers have taken over the market from full-sized and mid-sized station wagons, small crossovers have the potential to eat into the market for small hatchbacks in the same way… by providing more psychological height and space for just a little more money.
After a go in the Ford EcoSport, I can see such a segment booming in the near future. Obviously it drives nowhere near as well as the Fiesta, but the extra space, height and ease of use (parking, traffic navigation, kerbing) are sure to appeal to casual buyers more.

I have never seen a Veloster not being driven by someone very annoying, in an annoying way. Due to this, I cannot wait for it to go away.
It's also ugly (as though someone stepped on it) and cheap looking. I don't even consider it a "coupe," just like I didn't consider the CRX a coupe. It's an econo hatchback. A perfect car for women who take 5 attempts to park it in an average-sized space.

Whenever you go too radical, the result is usually ugly and will not stay cool for long, specially in the American market.
See, in 1989, Toyota came up with a conservative design LS while Nissan came up with a radical Q45, the LS was much more popular, same as Ford loosing the market with the radical 1996 Taurus. Also, see the difference between a 2011 Sonata to the 2015.

The world and markets exist in true states of illogical ways much of the time.
The 2010 and up Ford Taurus is one of Ford's best vehicles IMO, as it gives those of us in the snow belt (who would rather not have to swap tires/wheels every fall) front wheel drive, while now think g the attributes of a traditional large car' which are, solidity, quietness, good ride comfort, effortless cruising ability (even if it's not Chrysler 300 or Chevy Impala "large" inside).
Yet, it has sold in nearly small sports coupe like low volume annually.
The Mazda 6 is another great example of illogical consumerism at work; it's as good as the CamCords (better, in many respects), being extremely reliable, having great fit/finish, having much better interior and exterior styling, being much more fun to drive than the 4 banger competition, and being available with a manual for the 2%ers, yet 10 Camrys or Accords are sold for every 6.
And in general, there are so many people who could buy a nee or used vehicle that's better in almost every way than the one they ultimately do, and at 2/3rds to 1/2 the price. This is particularly true of some (or many) people who buy CUVs or SUVs, when a sedan or hatchback would be a better choice (or at least as good as one), because of some incredibly over-emphasized desire to "sit up high," etc.
These things are what makes a market, yet illogical nonetheless.

I would have to agree, 100%. Only DB's seem to drive Velosters. If I were in the market for a vehicle that size (say, 6-8 years ago) I'd have snatched a Veloster right up. It has the up-side of the huge driver's side door, but also has the ease of access for passengers. That you can get one loaded for 23-24k doesn't hurt.

Totally agreed, Corey. I see a few of these things around here in Chicago, and yes, those drivers either believe they're operating an exotic or the looks of the car makes it look like it's being operated like an idiot. Then there's that "Turbo" badge…I can swear it came from a 911 because it's the same design, just a bit dinky on size. Hyundai is trying too much too fast.

Do people really see a difference between the two? I've always looked at them as a less differentiated Ford/Mercury, without one being obviously premium.

npaladin2000August 4th, 2014 at 7:22 pm
Yeah, there's definitely an image difference, that's why I was surprised to see the Veloster come out as a Hyundai, it would probably have done better as a Kia.
The two actually share less than Ford and Mercury did, those were ultimately all Fords. Kia and Hyundai share platforms and engines, but use different interior components and suspensions (not to mention suspension tuning). Kia doesn't even have BlueLink, they use something completely different for infotainment.
S2k ChrisAugust 4th, 2014 at 8:12 pm
I'll give you that the Ford/Mercury comparison isn't fair because H/K doesn't make rebadges, but in terms of image, one's a cut-rate Korean economy car that also makes a K9000 that barely sells, and the other…is a cut-rate Korean economy car and also makes a Genesis/Equus that barely sells.
PrincipalDanAugust 4th, 2014 at 11:19 am
No Hyundai dealers within 90 miles of here but there are two or three Velosters in the area that were sold from the used lot of the GMC/Buick dealer. As other posters have said it does appeal to the backwards baseball cap crowd, unlike Scion I haven't seen any old people driving a Veloster.

TheyBeRollinAugust 4th, 2014 at 12:27 pm
Not out here. Old people drive Velosters. I haven't figured out why, but they're sort of like the Scion xB in that regard (nowhere near as popular as the xB, but far more young people drove them than do these). It sounds like Hyundai is simply accepting reality and going for the more upright seating that their stiff arthritic customers are asking for.

I thought this sounded like a new CUV based on the Veloster, much as the Juke is based on the Versa. They might even keep the Veloster around to further amortize the platform. As CUV sales are growing the new vehicle should be the sales draw and keeping the Veloster as a niche offering costs nothing unless/until the coupelet's sales drop precipitously.
I'm thinking a CUV version would necessarily have a more normal-looking greenhouse with four real doors and probably 5 seats. It couldn't possibly be worse than the Veloster.

I talked a coworker and member of Gen Y into buying a Veloster Turbo (who 10 years ago would have probably spit on me for suggesting a Japanese, let alone Korean, car). I've ridden in it and driven it and it's a fine car. The interior is pretty nice for the class. I'd consider one for daily commuting duty if it weren't priced so close to cars that will have better resale value and which will out-perform it.
But I am certain that what we all need are more CUV choices.

The Veloster is (was?) an interesting vehicle, about the nearest thing sold today that mimics my wife's Volvo C30. Thus it would be a shame to see it go away and be replaced by another "me too" CUV that is artificially raised off the ground just to make people feel safe driving it.

There are other advantages to being higher for some people. Take me, I am an old sports car guy. But age has taken me out of the sports car buying group. A taller vehicle is easier to get into and out of. Also, down here in Mexico, there are tall speed bumps. A normal car will drag on them every time you cross one. My next vehicle will likely be a Honda CRV, used of course. When you are young, enjoy life all that you can. Things get harder when you enter your seventh decade. The bad part is that your brain still thinks that you are 18. Your body has to tell you the truth.

I had a NA Veloster for a week as a rental for work. Visibility was worse than I expected (and I went in with low expectations). The worst part, though, was the dual clutch and 1.6L combo. Lifeless would probably be the best way to describe it. Terrible throttle response, didn't want to downshift unless in manual mode – which made manual mode a necessity for normal back and forth commuting, and an extremely narrow powerband. The asymmetric door setup was also terrible. It felt like a tiny, terrible cave. It is one of those cars that looks like it might be a fun little ride on paper, but in their chase of low price or fuel economy or something, you find it really lacking.

OccamAugust 11th, 2014 at 10:29 am
I too just got done with a Veloster for a week rental for work. I was very pleasantly surprised by it. The legroom and foot space was phenomenal, and unlike so many new cars, I was able to get the seat low enough for comfort (I like a legs-out seating position). I was also surprised at how quiet it was, and thought the infotainment system was very well done.
On the downside, it was a DCT instead of a manual, but I kept it in manual mode most of the time anyway. In D, it tended to be very conservative, keeping the revs as low as possible in the interest of fuel economy. "Sport" would keep the revs a bit higher. There does seem to be a flaw in the dual-clutch's programming – when decelerating and suddenly adding throttle, say slowing on a metered onramp and then gunning it as soon as the light turns green to merge into traffic, the transmission was caught with its pants down trying to find the right gear. Running in manual mode, the throttle response felt basically like a manual, which was a real treat compared to the disconnected feeling in most automatics, even those with a manual mode.
The suspension felt a bit jittery on hard corners with pavement imperfections – I blame the twist beam axle. Overall, I found the car much more enjoyable than the Mazda3, and about on part with the Focus I've received as rental cars in the recent past.
I told my wife it was the perfect car for us. I hate having the pillar next to my head in four door cars, she hates the compromised rear seat access in a four door. It made me want to go check out one of the Veloster GTs.

This is a smart move. The Veloster is dull as hell to drive and a sorry excuse for even a room temperature hatch. By making it an SUV they can lower dynamic expectations to what they can manage. When Hyundai either figures out how to make a mainstreamer enjoyable to drive to any degree, or throws in the towel and hires a company that does, they will go from "OK" to "legitimately good".

People hating on the Juke have likely never driven a Nismo M/T. As far as looks go, taste is subjective… I find "traditional" designs to be boring. Besides, the Juke cleans up nicely in Nismo guise. Seriously, when viewed in person from 3/4ths and being truly honest with one's self, it's hard to not really appreciate its lines.
When I bought last year, the choice was literally down to Juke Nismo and Veloster Turbo. I like their looks equally. And the Veloster had a lot more tech and features for the money. But when you mashed the go-pedal down on the Hyundai, it just didn't have the grunt and oomph that the Nissan delivered. And cornering in the Nismo just felt much better composed than in the Turbo… an odd feeling from what is a considerably taller vehicle. Everything from the engine, transmission, suspension, seats, you name it just make the Nissan feel very much like a driver's car. I just wish they didn't skimp so much on the tech and a few interior material choices. (Only one dome light for the entire vehicle seems like letting the accountants take a bit too much away.)
So please, continue hating. Call it a "Puke" (zomg sooo funny). Don't buy it. Plenty of other people have and will. I'm so glad that enough manufacturers are putting out powerful, fun to drive, and aesthetically daring vehicles for under $30K so that folks like myself have several choices in the market.

It is worth a spin. And a gander. The ground effects, side sills, spoilers, intake, running lights, exhaust, wheels, and intake do a lot to clean up the high-waisted SUV-looking gawkishness of the other trims. I don't much care for it in white, but in silver or black, it's downright sexy. The seats are likely the best in class… I just wish they came in leather(ette).
I too have seen some Jukes with larger folks at the helm. And I find it kinda surprising, because it is not a large car. I'm over 6 feet and broad-shouldered… I couldn't imagine making it a daily driver if I were pushing 300 lbs.

Considering that the Veloster is little more than a re-body of the Accent and has been a beta tester for their DCT and 1.6 turbo I'd say it makes sense to keep it around. The bulk of development is covered by the Accent and it wouldn't take a lot of cosmetic updates to keep the Veloster serving its purpose for years to come.
I definitely understand them getting in on the CUV craze but not necessarily at the demise of the Veloster.

I always thought of the Veloster as a replacement for the Tiburon. An entry level coupe to compete with the Civic and Tc. I think the older demographic that buys them likes the 3rd door for groceries or the occasional passenger.

Rwiebe13--I feel bad for the problems that you had with your flights. Isn't it a shame that all lessons are learned the hard way? Here are a few things that we have learned (as confirmed on this thread by other cruisers):
1. Buy insurance. I can't emphasize this enough. I don't know how it would work in your situation, but it paid off for me when we had to cancel an Alaskan cruise last month because I broke my wrist a week before sailing. We had booked the cruise and air through Princess and were totally reimbursed for both
2. Arrive the day before sailing. This allows for delayed flights; helps assure you get your lost luggage before sailing (also the voice of experience!); and gives you the opportunity to explore the port city.
3. Book your own flights. We have booked through RCCL on a couple cruises and booked our own flights on the others. Generally speaking, it is cheaper to book your own because you can fly on Air Tran or other independent carriers. The cruise lines will book you on major carriers, which are more expensive. Also, the seating assignments on cruise-line booked flights leave a lot to be desired. On the flight which we had to cancel in May, every flight to and from Alaska, we were seated over a wing or by the bathroom. On one flight, my husband and I were separated by two rows.
4. Carry all documentation and phone numbers with you.
5. Make sure your cell phone is charged before leaving home and before leaving the ship. You could be using it a lot if your flights get messed up!
6. Finally, do try cruising again! Once you get past the airport hassles, the cruise is the ultimate payoff. It's a perfect anniversary gift to each other. Start planning now for your second anniversary!

Some burgers can tend to be a little dry. Just the addition of a little pork sausage can make them a lot more moist.
This is so HOT. Not only is this version of a burger named after the current movie, but Mexican flavors are always in.
I wanted to make a burger that was a little different. It seems most burgers are spicy or cheesy. Why not something sweet? So, I tried this...
This burger combines the sweetness of peaches and the nuttiness of pecans, with many other wonderfully aromatic and tasty spices, to give it its unique flavor.
This wonderful Mediterranean mayonnaise filled with artichokes and olives was inspired by the ART-y people that I paint with every week.
This addicting burger captures all things that make Thai food delicious!
I love ethnic foods and always try to make my own recipes at home. I like Cuban food, however there is not many Cuban restuarants where I live.
A sweet and tangy burger with a punch.
This recipe is submitted using a slightly rare ingredient. Although an internet website is provided for its procurement.
I have developed this Burger recipe over the last few months. I hope you enjoy it.
Hello, my name is Bill, I came up with this "creation" while cooking dinner for my family, having a Greek background I have always enjoyed using these flavors in my dishes.
The best of two cultures meet in one great burger!
This is a thick, hearty burger that I came up with in honor of my husband, who absolutely loves southwestern foods.
My name is Richard.I live in Winnie,Texas.I am a poet that loves to cook.I am 57 years old.I hope you like my recipe. Thank you very much for letting me enter.
This a burger stuffed with an amazing triple-creme brie. The burger is topped with carmalized onions and shiitake mushrooms with a sun-dried tomato pesto on a Ciabatta roll.
Caesar would have bestowed his empire in exchange for this tasty creation, which combines Ceasar flavors with a special treasure inside the burger-pine nuts.

TheaterCan Debuts All-Male Arab-Israeli Romeo and Juliet DOGS at FringeNYC, 8/16
When five men from completely different backgrounds come together to work on a new and extremely controversial show, the production threatens to turn into a spectacular and amusing disaster. As their rehearsal room becomes a demi-battlefield, filled with drama and suspense, the men struggle to keep the production alive. Will one passionate gay director, a heated Arab-Israeli conflict and a confirmed male pregnancy take the production to the next level, or manage to tear everything apart?
"DOGS" is an original production exploring the creation of a play within a play.
"The show is a biting comedy that was created following a workshop of Jewish and Arab male actors that aims to deal with the mutual alienation and rage that both sides have become accustomed to", says Ido Bornstein, the playwright responsible for "DOGS" and founding member of the TheaterCan Company. "The result is a comedy that sheds light on the Israeli-Arab conflict from a gender-based perspective while incorporating social commentary in a way that is unexpected and stimulating"
The TheaterCan collective, led by Artistic Director Shlomo Plessner, will arrive in New York for two weeks to perform two of their critically- acclaimed plays that have been accepted into the festival. "Honest" and "DOGS". "Honest", a play written by acclaimEd English playwright DC Moore has undergone a brilliant adaptation by the TheatreCan group, while "DOGS" is an original play written by award-winning Israeli playwright Ido Bornstein.
The cast includes Lavi Zytner (Best Actor, Israeli Theater Awards 2008), Benjamin David Elder, Mahmoud Mora, Rami Kashi and Hai Maor. Directed by Shlomo Plessner. Written by Ido Bornstein Choreography by Ronit Ziv. Original Music by Galit florentz.
TheaterCan is an Israeli dynamic troupe of acclaimed artists founded by Artistic Director Shlomo Plessner and Playwright Ido Bornstein, creators of 'Sunrise', 'Lice' and 'Hunger' (Best Fringe Play award, 2004, presented at the FIND Festival for International New Drama at the Berlin Schaubühne Theater). Many TheatreCan's plays are written following workshops with the actors from diverse backgrounds. TheaterCan strives to merge the documentary art forms with poetic expression while presenting a fresh, funny and compassionate voice from Israel.
'DOGS' will premiere on Thursday, August 16th at 6:30pm with additional performances on Sunday, Aug.19th at 5:00pm, Tuesday Aug. 21st at 2:00pm ,Thursday, Aug. 23rd at 8:30pm and Friday Aug. 24th at 10:15pm at The New Ohio Theatre located at 154 Christopher Street New York, N.Y.

In the Round wsg Judith Hill
Nov 9 , 2013
Possessing one of the most outstanding and instantly recognizable voices in music, singer, songwriter and actor Josh Groban has entertained fans across the globe with his multi-platinum albums and DVDs (25 million sold worldwide), electrifying live performances and comedic film and television appearances. Today, Groban announced the next stage in his live career is with the In the Round tour, which begins October 2 and continues through mid-November. Groban performs his In The Round tour at the Amway Center in Orlando on Saturday, November 9.
The In The Round tour will give fans a one-of-a-kind concert experience. Placed in the middle of the floor, this 360 stage will allow Groban to interact with fans from all sides of the venue and hear him sing classic songs that span his illustrious 12 year career. The In the Round tour builds on the concept of Groban's 2011 Straight To You world tour, bringing the intimate feel of a theater experience to an arena setting. Says Groban, "It has been a vision of mine to do a tour in the round for a while now, it was just a matter of when was the right time. I have always had moments during the show where I walked through the crowd and interacted with the fans. I felt that now was the time to bring it all together. I can't wait to bring music from throughout my career, great fun and new experiences to my fans."
Groban will be joined by an ensemble of world-class musicians - featuring Andre Manga on bass, Ruslan Sirota on keys, Pete Korpela on percussion, music director Tariqh Akoni on guitar , Dave DiCenso on drums, Christian Habel on violin and Daniel Rosenboom on trumpet. In addition, a local orchestra and choir will be added in each city.
Groban recently completed a wildly successful tour in Australia and New Zealand where he drew rave reviews.
"One of the greatest voices in contemporary music"
Noise 11
"His gorgeous voice hit like a tsunami, and embraced like expensive silk. Groban was simply amazing!"
Australian Stage
"With his distinctive baritone sound, there is no doubt Groban has one of the best voices in modern music, but hearing him sing live is a unique experience to be cherished."
Australia Associated Press
"Scintillating, charming and talented. Those three words resonated around my head as Josh Groban performed a near perfect concert in Auckland"
Libel New Zealand
"It was two hours of great music and comic genius and a night I would recommend to both fans and non- fans alike."
Yahoo New Zealand
Prior to the North American tour, Josh will tour throughout Europe before heading back to the U.S. in July and August for select outdoor orchestra dates. For more information, please visit www.joshgroban.com.

For a list of the great deals, click the link in the box above.
Here are my totals from my shop this morning.
Subtotal before sales and coupons: $71.97
Amount saved: $71.96
Amount paid: 1 cent......yep, a penny!
To top it off, I received a $1.50 Catalina register coupon good on my next order because I bought 2 Wolfgang Puck pasta sauce jars! Basically, they paid me $1.49 to take home the groceries you see in the picture above. You can also see a photo of the receipt above.
In addition to 1 free product coupon and my 20 doubled coupons, I used $6.50 worth of CVS ECB's to get my total down to a penny. The Harris Teeter I shopped in Cary does have a pharmacy so they accepted my CVS ECB's as competitor coupons.

Silverthorne's holiday bazaar on Saturday
November 29, 2012
Seekers of unique gifts can rejoice: The annual Silverthorne Holiday Bazaar slated for Saturday will feature a spread of homemade gifts from 30 vendors alongside holiday entertainment and one-on-one visits with the big man himself, Santa Claus.
The bazaar, beginning at 9 a.m. at the Silverthorne Pavilion greets visitors with shopping until 3 p.m. and appearances by Santa from 10:30 a.m. until noon and again from 1- 2:30 p.m.
A kickoff to the holiday season in Silverthorne, the bazaar will have homemade craft and gift items, providing a mix of mostly local vendors selling holiday items including, but not limited to: jewelry, ornaments, stained glass, sweaters, mittens, candles, soaps, lotions, scarves, holiday decor, toys and books.
Dancers, ranging from 3-year-olds to adults, will show off their moves in a 30-minute performance of several routines set to different types of music, including hip-hop, jazz, ballet and adult tap dancing and hula numbers, event organizers said.
The bazaar, the first of several holiday markets that will be held all over Summit County this month, has been a tradition in Silverthorne for more than 10 years with exploding popularity. In its first year, six vendors showcased handmade items at the recreation center, now the event is capped at a maximum of 30 vendors and is hosted at the pavilion.
"There is a really great variety of mostly homemade items which makes it really fun," said Nancy Bomgardner, event organizer and recreation coordinator for the town of Silverthorne.

Most of the vendors are from Summit County and have returned to participate in the event year after year.
"The bazaar offers a great venue for local artists to showcase their handwork," Bomgardner said. "It really caters to the local craftsperson with all of the unique items just in time for the holiday shopping season."
Finding the perfect gift for that special someone is why the bazaar has grown in popularity.
"I think people like shopping at the bazaar because it gives them the opportunity to find something different, something new and unique that a person has spent a lot of time making," Bomgardner said. "The bazaar offers something more special than an average retail shop, I think that makes them feel more connected to the items they buy – they're special."
Cheri Breeman, a longtime participant in the annual event said she develops her inventory of homemade jewelry, hats and pottery year-round.
"This event is really fun, it's more about connecting with people than selling," Breeman said.
The scene of the bazaar hosts local vendors and consumers that return annually to see new handmade gifts, Breeman said.
"There are people that I only see once a year and it's at the bazaar," she said. "It's a community thing and it's fun to see what everyone is bringing from year to year."
The prices, ranging anywhere from $1 to more than $100, make it possible for shoppers to find a gift for a diverse crowd, Bomgardner said.
"I'm expecting it to be packed," Breeman said. "The prices are really low and the product is of very high quality and it's all very unique."

Hawaiian Airlines Flight Attendants Ratify Single-Aisle, Narrow-Body Aircraft Agreement
Hawaiian Airlines flight attendants have ratified a tentative agreement reached earlier this month between the company and the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA) on new contract terms covering the operation of long-range, single-aisle aircraft the company plans to acquire to complement its current fleet of wide-body aircraft serving Hawai'i from the U.S. West Coast.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20040827/LAF044LOGO)
On January 7, Hawaiian announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with airframe manufacturer Airbus to acquire 16 new A321neo aircraft between 2017 and 2020, with rights to purchase an additional nine aircraft.
The company also announced that the acquisitions are contingent upon the signing of new agreements with its pilots' and flight attendants' unions covering operation of the new aircraft type.
Hawaiian's pilots ratified a similar agreement between the company and the Air Line Pilots Association on January 28.
The fleet expansion is expected to generate roughly 1,000 new jobs at Hawaiian.
The long-range, single-aisle A321neo aircraft will complement Hawaiian's existing fleet of wide-body, twin-aisle aircraft used for long-haul flying between Hawai'i and the U.S. West Coast.
At 146-feet-long, the A321neo will seat approximately 190 passengers in a two-class configuration (First and Coach) and has a range of 3,650 nautical

Vodafone Smart 4 Turbo review
The Smart 4 Turbo is the smaller of Vodafone's recent pair of 4G smartphones.
It costs a bit less than the Smart 4 Power too -- but is it any more of a bargain?
Chassis & screen
The Smart 4 Turbo has much the same size and look as the standard Smart 4, with a similar flimsy back panel. It's similar to the Smart 4 Power too, but besides being a little smaller, the microUSB power/sync port is on the top rather than the bottom, next to the 3.5mm headphone jack.
The sub-HD screen measures 4.5 inches -- a little less than the Power's 5 inches. But along with the size the resolution has also shrunk, so it delivers just 854x480 pixels, which boils down to 218ppi -- roughly the same as the Power's 220ppi, even though it's larger and the pixels should be more spread out. The screen's lack of quality is however less pronounced on the smaller screen, though it still very much lacks that HD "pop" that we've gotten used to elsewhere.
Software & processor
The latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat is on board, which isn't always a given at this end of the market. As usual Vodafone has given the interface a few tweaks but aside from some of its own bloatware (an app featuring Vodafone news updates, anyone?) they neither add to, nor detract from, the overall Android experience.
The quad-core processor has been beefed up a little from the basic Smart 4's -- it's still 1.2GHz backed by 1GB RAM but is now quad-core rather than dual core. It performs better too, and delivered an AnTuTu benchmark score of 17,304, putting it well ahead of the Smart 4's 10,000.
The 5-megapixel camera comes with autofocus and flash and on paper looks as if it will be the same snapper as the one on the Power. It's different however, with less options and the old-style list-based settings interface that the more expensive phone moves away from. In terms of pic quality it's not quite as good either -- the autofocus seems a little less reliable and automatic light settings seem to struggle more to produce half-decent pics.
The basic VGA resolution camera on the front for video calls and selfies does without the Power's additional options too, making do with simple point and shoot. Like the Power, there's only 4GB of memory on board, which won't get you very far, but you can add up to 32GB via microSD card. The battery is a bit of a let-down however. Barely more than half the size of the Power's, it struggled to get us through a full day of use.
The Smart 4 Turbo offers a better screen, more powerful processor and 4G to distinguish it from the standard Smart 4. But for another 40 quid the Smart 4 Power delivers a bigger (though not higher resolution screen), a more powerful processor, a better camera and considerably improved battery life, making it the better value buy.

For my daughter's Second Birthday back in January, we had a great party with family, friends, and food. Rachel mentioned that she would be doing a star themed party for Ruby; star shaped grilled cheese sandwiches included. She said that it would be great to have tomato soup with the sandwiches. I got excited about making a tomato bisque that we made in class. I thanks Chef Todd Leonard for the lesson.
It seemed to be a hit and I had some requests for the recipe. Even Rachel's Dad liked it; he doesn't like tomato soup. After all these years, I was finally winning him over.

Went to a local store, asked for a headset with remote and they showed me an Aiaiai Tracks (these have mic+volume control), but, as many of you may know, the "iPhone" headsets aren't compatible with the XPlay, and so I was getting an "Accessory not supported" error.
I researched a bit, and finally got a CTIA<->OMTP adapter, returned to the store and surprisingly the headset still not worked, I was no longer getting the error but no sound came from the headset, in fact, seemed like my phone didn't detect them since the music played trough the loudspeakers. Then asked an employee if they had a similar ones and gave me a Marshall Major (just mic and the central button), plugged with the adapter and worked just fine, the mic, the button...
Nevertheless I prefer the sound of the Tracks over the Major and I think that the only difference on their connections is the volume control since they are both "iPhone compatible".
Can anyone explain me how can I get them to work?, I don't mind if the volume buttons don't work, just as far as I can use the mic and the central button.

This column is the third in a series of articles on the coming of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the direction it is likely to take in the regulation of consumer financial products and services.
After the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, one of the most talked about changes in Title X of the Dodd-Frank Act is the codification of certain preemption concepts as they are applied to national banks. To properly understand them requires a brief history lesson.
The United States developed a dual banking system. Under what is now the National Bank Act, there is a federal system based on national bank charters, and a state system, based on state charters. Under the National Bank Act (and subject to other laws), a national bank association has the power to do what it needs to do to carry on its banking business.
In 1994, during an era marked by national bank expansion across state lines, Congress clearly set forth its intent to create a zone of freedom from state regulations when it adopted the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (Riegle-Neal). Riegle-Neal set a new preemption standard for national banks in America by providing that national banks were subject to state consumer laws as if they were branches of a state bank except when federal law preempted the application of a state law to a national bank or if the Office of the Comptroller of Currency (OCC) determined that a state law discriminated against national banks. Courts later began holding that Riegle-Neal gave the OCC the authority to enforce state consumer laws even if they were not preempted. Reigle-Neal is historically significant because it opened the door to the possibility of many different state laws applying to national banks.
Against the backdrop of interstate expansion, in 1996, the United States Supreme Court issued a seminal decision in Barnett Bank of Marion County, N.A. v. Nelson. The facts of Barnett Bank are straightforward. At the time, a Florida law proscribed Florida-licensed insurance agents from engaging in certain insurance agency activities where the agent was associated with, among other things, any bank other than one which was not a subsidiary or affiliate of a bank holding company, and was located in a city with a population of less than 5000 people. Barnett Bank, a national bank affiliated with a holding company, bought a Florida licensed insurance agency and, as the National Bank Act permitted, intended to sell insurance through one of its branches in a town with a population under 5,000 people. Florida's Insurance Commissioner ordered Barnett to stop selling the insurance at the branch because it was prohibited under the state statute. Barnett subsequently filed suit, arguing that the National Bank Act preempted Florida's statute.
The United States Supreme Court sided with Barnett Bank, holding that "Congress would not want states to forbid, or impair significantly, the exercise of power that Congress explicitly granted." The Court went on to say that states could regulate national banks when "doing so does not prevent or significantly interfere with the national bank's exercise of its powers;" so called "conflict preemption." In the wake of the Barnett Bank decision, lower courts routinely found state statutes preempted.
In 2004, the OCC issued its preemption rule, which appeared to expand the holding of Barnett Bank and declared that a national bank's ability to exercise its incidental powers—including activities such as lending and deposit taking—preempted all state laws that "obstruct, impair or condition" the business of banking. Many viewed this OCC regulation as a statement of "field preemption," and courts gave the rule a lot of deference.
In the 2007 Watters v. Wachovia decision, the United States Supreme Court chimed in again on the preemption issue, holding that subsidiaries of national banks were entitled to the same preemption standards as their parent national bank to the extent the subsidiary was exercising a banking power. Two years later, the Court spoke up again about preemption in Cuomo v. Clearing House Association. Cuomo is important because (a) the Court held that federal banking laws do not preempt state attorneys general from suing national banks for violations of state fair lending and consumer laws, and (2) it was the Court's last word on banking preemption before Title X and Dodd-Frank.
Title X changes a lot about preemption; perhaps the most important change is the codification of the preemption standard. Specifically, Section 1044 of Title X provides that preemption of state consumer financial laws is permitted only if: (1) the application of a state consumer financial law would have a discriminatory effect on national banks; (2) the state law is preempted under the Barnett Bank standard; or (3) the state law is preempted by another provision of federal law other than the Dodd-Frank Act. Where a state consumer financial law has substantially similar terms as any law the OCC preempts, Title X requires the OCC to consult with the bureau before making a decision to preempt the state law. In addition, Title X provides that national bank operating subsidiaries must comply with state law, overturning the Watters decision, and allows state attorneys general to enforce non-preempted state laws against national banks, codifying Cuomo.
On May 12, 2011, the OCC sent a letter to certain members of Congress outlining the OCC's views of its preemption powers in light of the new preemption provisions of Title X. The detailed letter basically sets forth the OCC's view that, while Title X requires certain changes (including those noted above), its 2004 preemption rule— which state regulators argue goes beyond the "significant interference" standard of Barnett and its progeny—will govern preemption decisions going forward. Thus, a battlefield was laid for state regulators and the OCC to scuffle over the scope of preemption under Title X.
In coming installments, we'll turn our attention to enforcement and some of the least discussed, yet potentially most important, provisions in Title X: the bureau's power to regulate unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices.

Lots of retailers come out with "hot toy" lists every holiday season, but this year Wal-Mart decided to try something different: let kids rate their favorite toys.
In a first, about 1,000 boys and girls aged 18 months to 10 years spent time over a three-day weekend in August in Dallas playing with 50-plus toys and choosing their favorites. The result is a top 20 list of kid-approved toys (www.walmart.com/chosenbykids) that included a new robotic pet Furby, a hugging Elmo and a Barbie dream house.
Retailers place their bets early on which toys will be hits and then spend heavily to market them to spur sales during the holiday season. It's a crucial time because holiday sales can make up to 40 percent of a retailers' annual revenue.

Vauxhall announces 550 new jobs in Ellesmere Port and Luton
Car manufacturer Vauxhall has announced the creation of 550 new jobs at two factories.
About 300 new positions will be secured at the firm's plant in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, ahead of production of a new Astra model.
Meanwhile, a second shift will be added at the van facility in Luton, Bedfordshire, creating 250 jobs.
Vauxhall said the jobs marked the car giant's "first significant hire programme for a decade".
The announcement comes two years after the Ellesmere Port plant won a £125 million contract to build the next generation Astra.
The site in Luton builds the recently-launched Vivaro van and will be taking on new employees to increase output.
Tim Tozer, Vauxhall's chairman and managing director, said: "This is great news for Vauxhall and for British manufacturing.
"Both of our UK manufacturing plants have won long contracts with all-new products and as the business strengthens, we now need to take on more people to build these exciting new Vauxhalls."
The jobs will be phased in from the start of next year.

But for many mutts, it's a life without meat.
More and more dog owners are putting their friends on strict vegan diets, convinced that keeping their pooches clear of meat alleviates allergies, improves energy and overall health, and is better for the environment.
Some owners even claim the dogs are more than willing participants.
"You only have to spend a few seconds in the room, when they hear carrots being chopped up they're like lightning," a Canadian vegan tells the National Post. "We feed them green beans, raw carrots, raw cabbage, and they go crazy."
(Side note: His dogs' names are Major Wigglebottoms IV and Willie Kerfluffington II.)
Experts say dogs evolved as omnivores (unlike cats), and thus can digest vegetables easily--though one the NP spoke to said that a vegan diet is probably best only for dogs with specific food allergies.
A vet that CNN interviewed, however, noted that dogs require more protein than humans do, and that vegetables lack certain necessary amino acids. If you're going to dedicate your canine to a vegan diet, you'll have to include dietary supplements.
Other experts are more skeptical, and stress that growing and unhealthy dogs shouldn't go vegan, or recommend a hybrid diet.
Guess what PETA thinks.
Frankly, I'm inclined to take the side opposite that of any adult human being of presumably sound mind who burdens a living creature with a name like Major Wigglebottoms IV or Willie Kerfluffington II, but I'm not a dog owner--yet. So to you Epi dog lovers out there, I ask: Should a dog go vegan?

TEL AVIV (Sep. 7)
The first local council of Circassians in Israel opened at Kfar Kama, near Attabor, today. The first non-Jewish body of its kind in Israel, the Circassian council was set up by the department of self-government of the Ministry of Interior. Kfar Kama has a population of 800 and took an active part in the Israel war of liberation. Although the Circassians are Moslems, they serve in the armed forces of Israel.
