Justin Darlington – a.k.a. "Jus Fly" – is used to making great leaps on the basketball court.
The question is whether the 20-year-old slam-dunking wizard from Ajax can make an even greater leap – becoming Canada's superstar high jumper.
And Daniel St-Hilaire, an extremely passionate, if not a quirky, veteran coach from Montreal, is convinced he can.
St-Hilaire's scouting methods aren't exactly conventional. It started on the Internet when he punched "slam dunk basketball" into Google. Among other things, he came across hundreds of videos of the 6-foot-4 Darlington in action.
"He was like a lost jewel," said St-Hilaire, who once coached Canadian sprint star Bruny Surin.
What he saw left him awestruck: A kid who could do a cartwheel on the court and dunk in one fluid motion. But, even more impressive, Darlington could get his head above the rim when he took flight.
"My mouth opened for five minutes and my eyes went big and I just froze," said St-Hilaire. "I kept playing the video and going in slow motion and freezing it where his head went above the rim. I thought `I never saw a guy jump that high.'
"And I said to myself `Wow, I wonder if this guy can do high jump.' I became a headhunter. I was like `Where could I meet that guy?'"
It turned out St-Hilaire didn't have to go all that far. He located Darlington on Facebook and found out he was from Ajax. They met for two hours at Pearson International Airport when St-Hilaire was flying home from a track meet in Saskatoon in February.
It turns out that man cannot live off dunking alone. Darlington has travelled throughout Europe and is currently travelling in Shanghai with Team Flight Brothers, a sort of Harlem Globetrotters of the dunking world, but there isn't a huge amount of money to be made.
"He had no incentive, no target," said St-Hilaire. "I said `Here's your target – 2012 (London Olympics). Jump for Canada, make it big and your life will change. Because now you're recognized as one of the best dunkers, but who cares, nobody knows you.'"
At the end of their airport meeting, St-Hilaire said Darlington had only one question for him: "When do we start, coach?"
The education of Darlington as a high jumper has begun, partly under St-Hilaire in Montreal and also here in Toronto under Gary Lubin, who developed Brampton's Mark Boswell, a two-time world championship medallist. They plan to share the coaching duties.
This has all been a whirlwind for Darlington.
"I wasn't even thinking about the Olympics a year ago," he told The Gazette in Montreal recently. "I was hoping that maybe they would make dunking an Olympic sport."
Darlington is planning to enrol at McGill University for September – his mom, Ann-Marie, wants him to put emphasis on his studies – and train in Montreal under St-Hilaire. His regimen will include two dunking workouts per week so he can maintain that skill.
It's a talent he discovered only two years ago. He never really stood out playing basketball at J. Clark Richardson Collegiate in Ajax, but entered a dunk contest in his last year and wowed everyone with his high-flying skills. Things have taken off since then.
"It sort of snuck up on us," said Ann-Marie Darlington, who was a high jumper in high school. "He was trying to match what the others could do in the gym and he realized he was above most of the guys. It was amazing."
Adds St-Hilaire: "He's a born leaper. The legs are like a mutation."
Darlington has a wide array of videos on You Tube under his nickname "Jus Fly," including some with more than 200,000 views and comments like "That last dunk was absolutely sick!"
Former world hurdles champion Perdita Felicien agrees it will be a neat story if Darlington can pull it off, but adds it won't be easy in such a technical event.
"You can have the raw goods, but to have the discipline to study the event and the sport and to be great that way – that's kind of different," Felicien said. "That's probably the hardest part of it."
St-Hilaire said the key will be teaching Darlington the right technique so that he can develop into a true high jumper and not just a leaper.
St-Hilaire notes Darlington has already jumped 2.01 metres after six technical workouts – equal to the height achieved by the sixth-place finisher at last year's Olympic trials in Windsor (the world record is 2.45 metres.) The coach believes he can get up to 2.10 or 2.20 metres this summer.
St-Hilaire already has a golden glint in his eyes as he thinks toward the 2012 London Olympics. He points to Donald Thomas of the Bahamas, who won at the 2007 world championships, less than two years after switching to track from basketball.
"I feel Justin has more potential," said St-Hilaire.

Speaking today at the Rodman & Renshaw Annual Global Investment Conference in New York City, Martin Gerstel, chairman of Compugen Ltd. (NASDAQ: CGEN), reviewed the current status of the Company and announced the validation of two therapeutic product candidates, CGEN-15021 and CGEN-15091, in various autoimmune disease animal models. These two molecules are soluble proteins based on two B7/CD28-like proteins recently discovered by Compugen. In view of its key role in modulating immune response, the B7/CD28 family of proteins is of high interest in medical research and to the pharmaceutical industry, and these newly discovered molecules share key characteristics with this protein family. In addition to the potential use of CGEN-15021 and CGEN-15091 as protein therapeutics for multiple autoimmune diseases, the two proteins they are based on are predicted to have utility as drug targets for monoclonal antibody therapy in oncology. CGEN-15021 and CGEN-15091 are both soluble fusion proteins, each combining the extracellular domain of one of the newly discovered B7/CD28-like proteins and an Fc antibody fragment. Fusion to an Fc antibody fragment is an established methodology to create soluble long-acting therapeutic proteins. The results being announced today relate to the recent validation of CGEN-15021 in animal disease models of both multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, and of CGEN-15091 in an animal disease model of multiple sclerosis. In each of these disease models, the Compugen fusion proteins demonstrated dramatic therapeutic effects in ameliorating disease symptoms. In addition, in earlier in vitro experiments, CGEN-15021 and CGEN-15091 exhibited inhibition of T cell activation, confirming their predicted role in the modulation of the immune system. In his presentation (which has been posted on Compugen's website: www.cgen.com), Mr. Gerstel stated, "The discovery process for these two immunomodulatory proteins is an excellent example of the power and uniqueness of the broad based scientific infrastructure for predictive discovery that has been established at Compugen over the past decade. This infrastructure now allows the rapid development of accurate in silico capabilities for the prediction of innovative therapeutic solutions in selected areas of unmet medical need. In this case, we initially directed these capabilities to the B7/CD28 protein family, a protein family of very high industry interest due to its key role in regulating immune responses, and one with significant therapeutic potential in major pathological conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, transplantation and cancer." Mr. Gerstel continued, "Within approximately six months, we had integrated multiple components of our infrastructure capabilities to develop the Protein Family Members Discovery Platform, which during its initial discovery process, predicted nine new proteins sharing characteristics with the B7/CD28 protein family. The first three of these nine, consisting of the previously disclosed CGEN-15001 which is currently moving forward in our Pipeline Program, and the two proteins for which positive in vivo results are being announced today, have now been validated in established animal disease models. In addition, we subsequently extended this discovery capability beyond the B7/CD28 family, as well as developing additional capabilities for the discovery of other types of immune related proteins, some of which are now beginning the validation process." Mr. Gerstel continued, "With respect to today's disclosure, the in vitro validation experiments and the in vivo study in a multiple sclerosis animal model of CGEN-15021 and CGEN-15091 were part of Compugen's long-term research agreement with Prof. Stephen Miller's laboratory at Northwestern University. The in vivo validation of CGEN-15021 in a rheumatoid arthritis model was conducted at Dr. Richard Williams' laboratory at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, Oxford University. Having long-term relationships with leading scientists at academic laboratories with well established assays and animal models, enables Compugen to quickly and efficiently validate its new discoveries." Mr. Gerstel concluded, "We enthusiastically look forward to the further development of these very attractive drug candidates, and to the ongoing application of our unique capabilities to additional areas of unmet medical need."

Moody's cuts Spain's credit rating by a notch
Moody's rating agency sliced Spain's credit rating on Thursday, a sharp blow to the government as it presented a belt-tightening budget the day after a general strike.
The agency cut Spain's top-ranked "Aaa" rating for long-term government bonds by a notch to "Aa1", meaning the country will now have to pay more to borrow money on the international markets.
It was a reminder of the stakes if Spain fails to convince world financial markets it is determined to cut spending, reform labour markets and propel growth.
The greater fear in the markets had been a bigger, two-notch cut in the rating.
But New York-based Moody's Investors Service said the government's 2011 tight-fisted budget plans, which were presented to parliament a few hours later, convinced it to trim by a single notch.
Spain's unions called a general strike on Wednesday to protest against the very measures that Moody's is calling for -- tough labour reforms and state spending cuts.
Tens of thousands took to the streets in major cities in anger at the measures aimed at slashing a staggering 20-percent unemployment rate and reviving the economy.
Unions are also angered by steep spending cuts, including an average public sector wage cut of five percent, and plans to gradually raise the retirement age to 67 from 65.
Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero may be comforted by the press reaction -- the left-of-centre El Pais said support for the strike was "limited" while the right-wing El Mundo headlined its front page "General Failure."
Moody's said the sluggish economy was a big factor in the ratings cut.
"One of the key drivers for Moody's decision to downgrade Spain's rating to Aa1 is its weak growth prospects and the challenge that this presents for fiscal consolidation," said Moody's lead analyst for Spain, Kathrin Muehlbronner.
Over the next few years, the economy was likely to grow by an average 1.0 percent a year, below the average even among other sluggish European Union economies, it said.
The Bank of Spain warned in a monthly report Thursday that Spanish economic activity "may have weakened" in the third quarter of this year after growing slightly in the first half.
Another big factor in the rating agency's downgrade was Spain's deteriorating finances and the problems it faces cutting its deficit while growth is only moderate.
Moody's said it took into account the 2011 budget, which targets a cut in the public deficit to six percent of total annual economic output from 9.3 percent this year.
But it warned the government must craft more fundamental reforms than it has so far tabled if it wants to reduce the deficit further after 2011.
Presenting the budget to parliament, Finance Minister Elena Salgado said the government would not waver in its reform plans.
The tight budget "is the only way to protect the country in the face of financial markets that are still volatile and have some elements of instability," Salgado said.
"We are going to spend less in many areas," she added.
"The economic policy will be maintained. There will be austerity. There will be reforms."
Moody's also called for deeper reforms to the labour market.
"The rating agency considers the recently introduced labour market reforms and the broad wage restraint in both private and public sectors to be important steps in the right direction," it said.
"However, dismissal costs will remain above the EU average and wage flexibility more limited than in many Aaa-rated peers."
Moody's had announced a review of Spain's credit rating for a possible downgrade three months ago and was the last of the big three to trim the rating after Fitch and Standard and Poor's.
The agency left untouched the top-rank rating for Spain's short-term debt of Prime-1.

A front page article in The New York Times reports on how the recent investigation of Gen. David Petraeus and Gen. John Allen "underscores a danger that civil libertarians have long warned about"—that government officials will "unavoidably invade the private lives of Americans" in order to investigate some crimes. Officials investigating a potential cyber stalking case came across "potentially inappropriate" e-mails and shared them with the Defense Department. Marc Rotenberg of the Electronic Privacy Information Center noted, "It's a particular problem with cyber investigations—they rapidly become open-ended because there's such a huge quantity of information available and it's so easily searchable."

D. Smith checks out Minnesota; Bucs still in picture
TAMPA - Safety Dwight Smith will visit the Minnesota Vikings today but said he would sign with the Buccaneers for one year if he is unable to attract a long-term deal from another team.
Smith, 27, was released by the New Orleans Saints last week despite having four years remaining on a $15-million contract after the team failed in its efforts to trade him during the off-season. In Minnesota, Smith would be reunited with defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin, who coached the Bucs secondary the past five seasons. He would compete with safety Tank Williams for a starting job.
"I'm on my way to Minnesota right now,'' Smith said Monday. ""I mean, there's a bunch of teams we're talking to and we'll just see what the best situation is going to be for me and go from there.
"It would be great to be (reunited) with Mike (Tomlin) and then you get to play the other safety next to Darren Sharper and that's pretty intriguing. But we'll just have to see."
In Tampa Bay, Smith would give the Bucs more depth and flexibility in the secondary. Veteran Jermaine Phillips and Will Allen are expected to start at safety. But Phillips has been plagued by injuries in his career and Smith also is capable of playing cornerback in nickel situations. In 49 starts, Smith has 14 career interceptions.
However, Smith said the Bucs are only offering him a one-year contract. Tampa Bay players report to training camp Thursday in Celebration.
""Like I told them, if I do a one-year deal, I'll be here in Tampa,'' Smith said. ""I know I'll get lots of playing time. I'm also established here, I have a home here and I know my way around town.
Smith said he also is considering an offer from the Baltimore Ravens, who happen to be the Bucs' first regular-season opponent.

Chisago County Administrator Bruce Messelt said at the board's Aug. 20 meeting that the county is currently in good financial standing with a bond rating of AA2, but there is a "50-50" chance the county's bond rating could be downgraded.
He explained that the recent downgrades in North Branch's bond rating and North Branch Water and Light, the city's utility provider, could have negative repercussions for the county as a whole.
"Any time your largest city gets a downgrade, it's a pretty strong warning about things that may be coming (the county's) way," he said.
Commissioner Ben Montzka then asked Messelt to explain North Branch's downgrade.
"Because of the high debt and the questionable revenue repayment streams, the power and light company in North Branch, and as a result of that the city, was downgraded to just one step above junk bond status," Messelt said. "It was quite a significant downgrade."
The county administrator added: "What does that mean? It means they're still considered a preferred debtor. They will still get bonds if they want to sell them. They'll still get very attractive rates. But they're going to pay higher rates than we would, for instance, or someone with a AAA rating."
Even though the county doesn't control what happens in North Branch, Messelt said bond rating agencies take into account how cities within a county are doing when it comes time to give county ratings.
"The larger concern is that when we go for a rating, the rating agencies will look at the regional economy, and they'll look at your largest communities," he said. "They'll look at our own house and how we manage debt. We only have control over a certain number of those pieces."
Messelt said the county could keep operating at its current status quo, and the bond rating agencies could still issue a downgrade because of North Branch's current bond rating.
"We may not even have to issue debt and we'll see a downgrade," Messelt said.

Derek Trucks leaving the Allman Brothers Band after 15 years: 'I never thought I'd be a part of it that long'
On Tuesday, guitarist Derek Trucks said the Allman Brothers Band as we know it was "certainly winding down."
"For me, I've been in the band, what, 15 years now? I never thought it would make it that long," Trucks, 34, said in a phone interview from his home in Jacksonville. "I never thought I'd be a part of it that long. So it all feels like bonus time to me."
Turns out that bonus clock is ticking faster than anyone realized. On Wednesday, a day after our interview, Trucks and guitarist Warren Haynes announced they would be leaving the iconic Southern rock band at the end of 2014 to focus on their own projects, including Haynes' Gov't Mule and Trucks and wife Susan Tedeschi's Tedeschi Trucks Band, which will headline St. Petersburg's Sunshine Music & Blues Festival on Jan. 19.
"While I've shared many magical moments on stage with the Allman Brothers Band in the last decade plus, I feel that my solo project and the Tedeschi Trucks Band is where my future and creative energy lies," Trucks said in a statement. "The Tedeschi Trucks Band tour schedule keeps growing, and I feel the time has finally come to focus on a single project, which will allow me to spend that rare time off the road with my family and children. It's a difficult decision to make, and I don't make it lightly."
Few would blame Trucks — whose uncle Butch was the Allmans' founding drummer — for wanting to spend more time with his family, especially when the Tedeschi Trucks Band is at the top of their game, having won a Grammy for Best Blues Album (Revelator) in 2012. Even Gregg Allman thinks so.
"He's got the baddest band in the land, he absolutely does," Allman said in a December interview. "It's my favorite, it really is. Of all the music I've heard lately, they do it for me. That blows my dress way up."
Still, the announcement came as a surprise to fans of Trucks, the Allman Brothers ... and, well, us, too. A spokesman for Trucks said Wednesday's announcement was supposed to come later this year, but was pushed up. "Things are going well," said publicist Jim Walsh. "This has been planned for a while that both would focus on their projects."
Trucks joined the Allman Brothers Band at age 19, shortly after releasing his first album with his solo band.
"I remember thinking, You can't really turn this offer down, but I can't not do my own group," he said on Tuesday. "They've been great about making it work, where you can do both. Granted, you have to work 300 days a year to do it, but over the years, it's just kind of grown. This is the longest incarnation of the band that's ever existed. The original group was just a few years, and the group in the '70s had a lot of changes, so this group with Warren and Oteil (Burbridge) and Marc (Quiñones) and me, it's going on a little over a decade now, which seems nearly impossible, with the amount of s--- that goes on with that group, but it's been amazing. Every time I think it's done, and you want to count it out, it kind of comes roaring back."
The Allmans do have big plans for 2014, their 45th year, including a concert Friday in Atlanta and a 10-night stand at New York's Beacon Theatre in March.
"When it's time to play and the band hits the stage, it's very much the spirit of the original group, where the time on stage matters," Trucks said. "That's church. If you're phoning it in there, there's no reason to show up. So no matter what happens off the stage, the hours on stage are taken very seriously. You look at my uncle and Jaimoe (Johanson), and those guys are in their mid-'60s playing 2-1/2, 3-hour sets, blood on the snare drums. They're throwing down. Nobody's phoning it in."
Trucks was raised around the Allman Brothers, and when they invited him to join in 1999, he was initially hesitant to show off his own natural gifts as a teenage guitar prodigy.
"When you get a call to play with a band that's already in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, you're not going to come in and change it and bend it to your will, at least immediately," he laughed. "It was jumping into music that I grew up with, and music that was as close to me as the stuff I was making on my own, but it was a different avenue, you know? And there's something about getting in front of that rhythm section, and when that band gets pumping and playing that brand of music — that they invented — there's nothing quite like it.
"With the Allmans, there's always been this sense of, 'When it's your time to go, go, and we will follow,'" he continued. "That's very much what that band is. It allows everybody in the band to do their thing. When you're talking about bringing material in, you defer more often than not, but when you're improvising, you just roll."
That said, Trucks said his solo group and Tedeschi Trucks Band create space for a bit more experimentation than the Allman Brothers Band. And for an artist who's spent most of his life voraciously studying and honing the craft of guitar wizardry, that remains a crucial part of his evolution as a performer.
"Every night, when the improvisational sections come up, it's an adventure," he said. "I've been really lucky, at least the last 20 years, playing with great musicians, and you can get into a rut. You can find things that work, and whether you know it or not, you're going to these bags that work, and the last six, eight months with this band, that's been thrown out the window. So I feel like every night, I have to hold on. I've got to keep my ears wide open. It's a great challenge, but it's a challenge."

So, that strikes me as the main argument against adding this- code complexity and/or duplication, etc. That being said, I'm less than convinced that it's really all that big of an issue when we're talking about a "quote-everything" flag. That doesn't require figuring out what the reserved words are or anything along those lines that quote_ident() currently deals with. It's plain-jane "search for characters that need to be quoted and handle them appropriately". Sure, if we can find a way to stick that actual source code somewhere that all the pieces which need it can get to it w/o code duplication, that'd be great, but it just doesn't feel like a hard problem to solve or one that requires a huge amount of code..

Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan New Owner Reports
theump Posts: 13:shades: congrats!!.The 4/5sp.is a blast to drive
It's been 3 days since we received our Fusion SE I4/5 speed with the Sport Appearance package.
Black with tinted windows.
We also have a leased Freestyle which we're returning in March 08 and to be frank, I really don't think we're going to be putting too many more miles on it until then.
The Fusion is fun to drive; European feel, stylish, no-nonsense interior, tons of space, economical.
We do a lot of city driving and love driving manual. The smaller engine is perfect. On the highway, it's effortless.
We're a young family and we want to stay away from "family"-type cars. The Fusion fits in perfectly with our lifestyle. The kids love it. My 3-year loves it because it's the same cars as those used in Nascar.
My 3-year loves it because it's the same cars as those used in Nascar.
So how long will you wait before you tell him the truth?
Waitaminute...that's what the salesguy told me...
You mean it's not true?!
Would a salesperson lie? :confuse:
Now will be available on SEL and V6 and will include 18 inch wheel. Still only in 4 colors. ORDER MINE NOW.
I took delivery of a Black on Black, cloth seats 2007 Milan with auto trans on August 8, 2007. In the under two months that I have owned this vehicle I have both positive and negative attributes to report. As a benchmark I am using a 2007 Honda Accord SE which a relative owns. I am not certain it is fair to compare the vehicles, however they are in a similar class, even though the Accord costs $1,000 to $2,000 more, depending on the deal you get.
I was in the market myself for an 07 Accord SE and would have purchased one, even though the car costs more, but I could not find a dealer that would give me zero percent financing over three years as I got with the Mercury. More Importantly I wanted to buy American, more on that later.
The Milan's engine, the 4 cylinder, 160 hp, 2.3 liter Duratec version is underpowered. I should have gone with a six but wanted to save on the high cost of fuel. I am reading that the six has comparable mileage and much more power to boot so the decision to go with the four might have been a mistake, however it was more economical from an initial purchase point of view.
Don't get me wrong, the engine is a proven design and is used in the Mazda as well, and is ok, but is noisy when pushed hard. The Accord has a 2.4 liter VTEC (both engines are 16 valve) with 166 hp and is quieter, smoother, and has more low end power.
Once over 35-40 mph with the Mercury there is plenty of power and smooth sailing at a comfortable 80 mph. Ford should be able to make a 4 banger that is as smooth and refined as the Accord and does not have the low end power issues and noise as exhibited in the Milan.
I have somewhat of a lead foot and with the AC on I am experiencing terrible mileage. The vehicle came with a full tank of gas, but since then I have filled up three times at a cost of $117 ($3.00-$3.50 per gallon in the NYC area)
There are approximately 875 miles on the odometer. Mileage is improving as mileage increases and hopefully as things get cooler in NYC, no AC will be needed and mileage will improve further.
The vehicle I took delivery of was the last one of its kind that the dealer had and black is a nice color, however it shows every speck of dirt/dust. Gray/Charcoal is better at disguising dust. Unfortunately there are some minor scratches on the vehicle already, due to careless, lackluster parking lot attendants, who suggest that the vehicle was not scratched by them and get angry at you for implying that the scratches were caused by them. I guess the scratches can be buffed out. What can you do, I guess.
The LED tail lamps are cool. However, the segments of the tail lights that are on the trunk lid that meet up with the segments that are part of the body of the car do not line up properly and are off by 1/5 of an inch. Fit and Finish issue there.
The overall design is very nice and striking. Rear view vision is hampered by a high aerodynamic tail end and the rear stop lamp that would have been better incorporated into the trunk lid as in the Accord. Leg room in front is great, a few more inches over the Accord. The Accord is wider and it would be prudent for Ford to widen the vehicle by four inches or so in future iterations to improve on hip room and have wider bucket seats as well.
No fog lamps in the base model, but can be added. Dash design is elegant,and has a digital information center, however outdated nineties era styling is apparent with and the headlamp switch is mounted to low. The factory CD radio sounds great however the only rear speakers are in the doors and there are three empty spaces below the rear deck for speakers that would be part of the premium audio which is found in higher trim levels. On occasion there is some static that crops up through the speakers.
The included mats are of low quality and I could see that they will not protect the carpet below as time passes, so I suggest replacing them with a weathertech branded set. Weathertech mats are expensive, but they will protect your vehicle and keep the underlying carpet in good shape for years to come and this will help you when it comes time to sell/trade in the vehicle.
The dealer tried to sell me on a security system for $500.00, or $600.00 with a remote start feature. I asked for a better price, but they would not budge. I went after market. I see though that the system was already installed and then removed due to excess black electrical tape that is wrapped around wires in the trunk, under dash and behind the grill area.
The vehicle handles very well at all speeds and the anti-lock brakes really work. I found that out due to a couple of near take-outs of reckless bicyclists. Potholes and poor roads in NYC cause this vehicle to shake and thump all over. Highway travel is smooth sailing as long as the road is smooth.
I am currently looking for ways to better improve the performance of the vehicle. Perhaps with a different exhaust system. The car has twin tailpipes, but they are plain dark metal, bland looking, and not chrome tipped as in the six cylinder models.
Now as far as the Mercury being an American car and the Honda being a foreign/Japanese vehicle;
Only six percent of the Honda dollars land up going back to Japan. The Honda is made in Marysville, Ohio, by American workers, unfortunately non-union but still American. Fifty-nine percent of the Accord parts are made in the U.S.A. Kudos to Honda.
The Milan although considered an American/Domestic vehicle as is the Ford Fusion sister car, is made in Hermosillo, Mexico, by Mexican workers with parts also made there. And those vehicles also have to be shipped from Mexico into the U.S. We all know about the troubles Ford has and the Mercury division is rumored to shutter within the next few years due to poor sales, just as GM discontinued the Oldsmobile brand.
It seems that Ford is supporting the Mexican economy rather than the U.S. economy in which it markets and sells vehicles too. Despite cheap labor and vehicles that cost less to produce vs the Japanese brands, Ford is still deep in the red, in part due to pension and health care costs for their current and prior employees.
I will report back on the Milan periodically. Would I buy a Milan again? Yes, but only a six cylinder and if they widen the vehicle and modernize the dash to bring it up to the year 2000+. That and start producing more vehicles on American soil.
The Milan's engine, the 4 cylinder, 160 hp, 2.3 liter Duratec version is underpowered. I should have gone with a six but wanted to save on the high cost of fuel. I am reading that the six has comparable mileage and much more power to boot so the decision to go with the four might have been a mistake, however it was more economical from an initial purchase point of view.
Batbear, I read your report on your Milan with great interest. We purchased a loaded ($27,105 MSRP) 2007 3.0-liter V6 AWD SEL Fusion on Dec. 4, 2006 and now have 4,700 miles on it after nearly 10 months.
We get horrific in-city gas mileage, a constant 14.8 but it does deliver 24-26 mpg on highway travel. I wish we had ordered an I4 instead of taking the V6 model that was on the lot.
For about the first 1,500 miles the car was stuck at 13 mpg. The 14.8 we are getting now is an improvement. The revised EPA estimate for this power train is 17 mpg city and 24 mpg highway.
The fit and finish on our Fusion is perfect and we have zero complaints about the car except for the crummy mileage. I could put up with a little engine noise for 20 mpg in-city mileage.
Some people deride the Duratec 3.0 as an "old" engine, one that does not deliver much in the way of performance. It is totally adequate for us and is quite peppy in my book.
I think the AWD feature is the fly in the ointment when it comes to mileage. We don't really need AWD in our climate. Again, the car came equipped this way. It's not a feature I would order nor one I would recommend, except to someone who lived in the snow belt and who didn't care about mileage.
People on the four forums that I visit generally report decent mileage for the V6 without AWD. The reason that we wanted a V6 was because of a bad experience with a four cylinder Mustang in the 1980s. It was a nice enough car but terribly underpowered. I should have known that today's I4s are much better. The difference is horsepower is not all that great, 160 versus 221.
My partner mainly drives our 2006 Fusion SE. We purchased in Aug of 06 and now have 15k.
Things I like:
Problem free. Seating Comfort. Roominess. quality of fit-n-finish for the price. Camel seats stayed clean, Surprise!. Design is striking to me from just about every angle. Standard Equipment was impressive for price. t disc CD has good sound but the bass can rattle the door panels even after the TSB was done. Controls are easy to operate. Love the audio controls on the wheel.
Things I don't like:
Auto trans could be smoother. I really hate autos so I might be overly critical. I do feel that the 6F in the EDGE/Taurus shifts much smoother. I dislike the noise of the engine under acceleration. Car is quiet at speed and road/tire noise is very subduded. Noise is no greater than the Nissan Altima which I also sell at my dealership.
Main complaint is that the stock tires on the SE are very easy to push and make squeal. The car corners flat and you are squeling the tires before you feel any body roll.
You didn't mention if your 2006 SE Fusion was an I4 2.3 or a V6 3.0. The reference to the transmission leads me to believe it might be the five-speed automatic, meaning the car has the four-banger engine. We have a 2007 AWD SEL with the 3.0-liter V6 and a six-speed automatic, which is very smooth-shifting.
kehrlich Posts: 3I purchased a black I4 5 speed manual about three weeks ago. I have been getting 25 MPG city driving since I purchased the car. In addition, last weekend we went out of town to a football game. The MPG for the trip was 32 (95% highway).
So far I have been very pleased.
For 2008 manual trans Milans will not be available as "stock" orders. If you want the manual trans, you will have to order one from the factory.
urnews; thanks, I am glad you enjoyed reading my review as I have enjoyed reading yours.
Let me clarify that I am not complaining about the Milan's fit and finish;everything is ok except for the tail light issue which you have to concentrate on to notice. When I push down on the trunk lid a bit the lights line up properly, however momentarily. I believe that the pistons/mini-shocks that hold the trunk open are overcharged and that contributes to the upwards pressure on the trunk lid that causes the alignment issue as well as requiring a firm downwards motion to close the trunk on the first try. Is any one else experiencing this?
I Forgot to add a few things. The Accord has a locking fuel door (locks from the inside) as well as the ability to lock the trunk from the inside in addition to a locking glove box and rear fold down seats that lock. The sections of the Milan's rear bench seat fold down nicely, however do not lock and the trunk opens with just a push of a button on the dash, none of the above are locking on the Milan, and the fuel filler door just pulls open. No auxiliary locks means no need for a valet key.
There are Job 1 and Job 2 revisions on the Fusion/Milan, correct me if I am wrong mschmal, and Job 2 has the 6 speed Japanese made Aisin-Warner Transmission, over the 5 speed in Job 1. Job 2 revisions add a MP3 jack to the stereo enabling the "line-in" function to play music from an IPOD or other MP3 player for example.
Job 2 (manufactured after Jan 2007) adds beefed up interior components and improves crash protection as well.
See the following Consumer Reports crash test link and select both years to hear information and to see the crash tests.
http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/cars/safety-recalls/carcrashtest/crashtestvid- eo.htm
Are you guys getting the mileage from the info display on the dash or calculating the mileage on your own? I read in these forums to reset the MPG counter at each fill up.
All I4 Fulans use the 5 speed auto. All V6 models use the Aisin 6 speed.
I am glad you posted about the mileage. I got blasted when I first posted mine. I have had my 06 V6 Fusion now for 16 months. The mileage improved. I now get about 16-17 in town and around 27+ on interstate driving and I do reset it after each fill up. I did the paper thing for a while but quit after a few months. I figured it really didn't matter as I was going to have to drive it anyway no matter what the gas mileage. Considered trading within the first 6 months, but would have lost too much money to do so. I have not had any problems with my car. I bought it in June of 06 and went with the 0 interest for 3 years. On July 1st of 06 they came out with the 0 interest for 5 years with a longer warranty but Ford refused to change my financing even though it was just a few days later. Would have been a big help to me if they had let me know about the "new" promotion for July. Oh well, luck of the draw I guess. Anyway, good luck with your new car!
Is it by design?
The Milan on my showroom floor also has taillights on the trunk lid that do not line up exactly with the taillights on the fender.
Curiously though the crease at the top of the hood lines up with the crease in the fender. Accordingly it appears to mean that the design was off, not the build.
Well, I now have 21,000 trouble free miles on my fusion SEL V6. Long road trips I average about 29.7MPG cruising at 70-75. The car is solid as day 1 with no squeaks or rattles. My plan next year is to buy 18" rims and new tires. I am very happy with this car and have recommended to others to test drive both the Milan/Fusion.
Likes - reliability, fit/finish, styling and comfort.
Dislikes - rear view is a bummer, If Ford just moved the 3rd brake light to the trunk it would help much! Just to keep up with image, a 240HP V6, 180HP 4cyl needs to come now. 6spd for both v6 and 4cyl.
danr2 Posts: 5I dig my 06 3.0 Milan...I put 18" OZ 35th annv. wheels with BF Goodrich G-Force radials..I car kicks tail on 07 Camry's all day long....their supposedly stronger motor had not made an apperance at the stoplights I frequent..
dXR :shades:
bj02176 Posts: 115You have got to be kidding, you must be competing against all 4 cyl Camry's, While my 2006 Fusion was a great car, I traded it for a 2007 Sante Fe I thought my 2003 4 cyl Lx Accord was just as fast. Maybe a tad slower, still had the same merging problems with both.
Anyway a great Mexican built car, gas mileage with mostly highway driving was 21.something. Handled great, stuck to the road, just needs the bigger engine that is in the new Edge and Taurus.
I own a V6 SEL Fusion. I can't tell you how many Camry SE 4cyl owners I have put into thier place. SE Camry looks fast, but with the 4cyl its a joke. V6 Camry however, quick, in one word. I raced one off the line and it was pretty neck and neck until about 40MPH, the Camry V6 pulled away at a steady pace.
OMG, I feel like I am about to cry. I have the same whining noise in my 2008 Ford Fusion, it sounds like a distant fire siren. VERY ANNOYING. I can not get used to it they too told me it was normal engine noise. I feel like I am going out of my mind. I have taken it to two dealership, that don't even want to do a drive with me to see what I mean. Can you give me a little more information on what they did to fix it. This is my main concern with my car. It only has 20800 miles on it, and I have tried twice to get rid of the car by trade, but owe too much on it, since I've only made a few payments. Please help me!!
Hi, I have a 08 Ford Fusion S with about 20800 miles on it. I like the car a lot especially the look and feel of it. I have however had a few issues that I am trying to get fixed. The main thing is the whining noise that I hear when accelerating that like I posted on Barbara383, sounds like a distant fire engine, I am so annoyed with it and it drives me crazy. Has anyone other than Barbara383 had an issue or hear this and if so what can be done about it. I also find that my car is not very soft at idle and has a slight ticking noise that you can hear over the belt, but that is only when idling, can't hear it while driving. The dealer is looking at my driver's seat that squeaks over every single bump or turn, but that doesn't concern me as much as the whining noise. I also took my car to a tire dealer and had them look at a clicking noise coming from what appears to be the drivers side tire, he said that I needed brake clips installed, so I'll have to ask them about that when I go back. My molding on the side of the passanger door was separating and they will be repaing that soon. Like I said mainly concerned with the whining noise so If anyone has encountered this or know what can be done. Please help!!
Well mine is more like a "hooping" noise. It is very brief and only happens when I first take off. Could your's just be noise from the tires? I had a 2006 fusion and didn't have any siren like noise. I did have the ticking when idling like the other post but never had it checked out. Overall, my fusion was a good car. I didn't like the shorter turn radius though. Good luck!
jsadka1 if you have 3.0L V6 engine - I had ticking sound during idle on my 2002 Mercury Sable with Duratec 3.0L engine, older version of one used on Fusion. It is not normal. Edmunds maintainance board I read that there was a TSB issued by Ford and asked dealer to fix it during 25K miles maintainace visit. The cause is camshaft bolts that were not torqued properly. They retorqued the bolts and it's been fine since. I suggest you to go back to the dealer while it's still under warranty and tell them about TSB or and explain what possible reason may be.
Sable proved to be very reliable car. I have 115,000 miles on it with no issues or repair except of this TSB. Another recomendation is to replace water pump at 120K miles as preventive measure because that how normall lifespan of waterpump. On Japanese cars it is normally replaced during 100K mile service along with timing belt.
raconteur3 Posts: 1I just purchased a new 2009 Mercury Milan Premier I-4 two weeks ago and could not be more pleased. I had been in the market for a new car for the last year and had been checking out several makes and models (Taurus, Impala, Fusion, Malibu and Focus) when the Cash for Clunkers program started, I traded in my 1996 Ford T-Bird and made the decision to purchase a Fusion, but my local Ford-Lincoln-Mercury dealerships stock on Fusions was extremely low with the options that I wanted (Red with camel leather interior, Sync, Sirus, and the moon & tune package). I then took a closer look at the Milan and was pleased to find that I liked the styling better and they had one exactly like I wanted.
My friends (mostly Honda and Toyota owners) have been suprised by the stylish good looks, comfortable ride, good mpg, and outstanding fit and finish. The only downside to this purchase was that my wife became jealous and bought herself a new Escape later the same week!

we have 2 escapes and a fusion.2017 Ford Fusion SE 2014 Ford F-150 FX4
cannon3 Posts: 296Fusion/Milan have been around now for a while and they should have a thread for us owners with miles on them. I own a 2006 SEL V6 in silver frost with black leather, sun roof, the works. I now have about 45,000 trouble free, squeak free miles on this car. Solid, this car is as solid as the day I bought it. I do have one issue however, when I reach speeds of 60+ I have slight wind noise in the windshield area. You have to turn off the radio in order to listen for it.
In 2006 I bought this car and was told by the Honda/Toyota crowd I would be sorry, it was going to fall apart, have all kinds of problems.. I paid thousands less and know I made the right choice.
I do not know how Toyota/Honda crowd could come up with their outrageous conclusions. I have Mercury Sable with 120K miles and did not have any problems so far. Consumer Report rates Sable/Taurus reliability for last 6 years as "above average", almost the same as before mentioned Camry/Accord. I have some doubt about Erupean brands and GM/Chrysler about reliability, but not Ford.
stephen987 Posts: 1,994As a member of the "Honda crowd" (I've owned five so far), I agree with savetheland--many folks underestimate Ford. The Taurus/Sable twins have a longstanding record of solid reliability--not to mention terrific safety performance, and low insurance rates as a result. A used Taurus or Sable is the perfect first car for a teenager.
The Fusion and Milan seem to have maintained excellent reliability since their introduction. I would not hesitate for a moment to purchase one if I needed a car in that size/price range. But I do think the initial depreciation makes them a better buy used than new. The used car market hasn't yet caught onto this terrific little secret.
Rental Tauruses had cheaply made interiors, that may be the reason to underestimate Taurus. Technically it also was carryover from 1986 model with ancient ineffective pushrod V6 Vulcan (American companies were only ones making pushrod engines in 80s-2000s). Vulcan is not well suited for freeways, it simply does not accelerate - I remember I4 Camry felt more like V6 in its smoothness and power than Vulcan.
Regarding resale values it goes upward for Fords for some time. For Fusion and new Taurus it will aproach at least to Toyota level soon. I for one feel no pressure to sell my Sable since it just runs strong and holds up pretty well. I bought it in pretty good deal new for 18.5K (21.5K with taxes and fees). And it is car with DOHC V6, all leather interior, moonroof and other amenities, very comfortable for daily commute. Price was similar to the price of I4 Accord/Camry at that time

About This Movie
- Synopsis
- Movie Releases
Charlie Wilson's War is the true story of how a playboy congressman, a renegade CIA agent and a beautiful Houston socialite joined forces to lead the largest and most successful covert operation in history. Their efforts contributed to the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, with consequences that reverberate throughout the world today. Oscar winners Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Philip Seymour Hoffman team with Academy Award®-winning director Mike Nichols and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin to bring George Crile's best-selling book to the screen. Charlie Wilson (Hanks) was a bachelor congressman from Texas who had a habit of showing up in hot tubs with strippers and cocaine. His "Good Time Charlie" exterior, however, masked an extraordinary mind, a deep sense of patriotism and a passion for the underdog, and in the early 1980s the underdog was Afghanistan—which had just been brutally invaded by the Russians. Charlie's longtime friend and patron and sometime lover was Joanne Herring (Roberts), one of the wealthiest women in Texas and a virulent anti-communist. Believing the American response to the Russian invasion was anemic at best, she prods Charlie into doing more for the Mujahideen (Afghan freedom fighters). Charlie's partner in this uphill endeavor is CIA Agent Gust Avrakotos (Hoffman), a blue-collar operative in a company of Ivy League blue bloods. Together, the three of them—Charlie, Joanne and Gust—travel the world to form unlikely alliances among the Pakistanis, Israelis, Egyptians, arms dealers, law makers and a belly dancer. Their success was remarkable. Funding for covert operations against the Soviets went from $5 million to $1 billion annually. The Red Army retreated out of Afghanistan. When asked how a group of peasants was able to deliver such a decisive blow to the army of a superpower, Pakistani President Mohammad Zia ul-Haq responded simply, "Charlie did it."

SW RAID - Raid devices larger than Total Devices
Hi there.
I'm working on a server and noticed that the to RAID5 setup is showing 4 Raid devices but only 3 Total devices. It's on a fully updated CentOS 5 system that only has three SATA drives, as it can not hold anymore. I've done some researching but am unable to remove the fourth device, which is listed as removed. The full output of `mdadm -D /dev/md2` can be see below. I've never run into this situation before.
Anyone have any pointers on how I can reduced the Raid Devices from 4 to 3? I have tried
mdadm /dev/md2 -r failed
mdadm /dev/md2 -r detached
but neither work and since there is no block device listed I'm not quite sure how to get things back in sync so it's only seeing the three drives. Any tips or help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks all.

You might want to try:
mdadm /dev/md2 --fail detached --remove detached
As per the man page in mdadm: Any devices which are components of /dev/md2 will be marked as faulty and then remove from the array.
It seems that at some point there was a 4th device added to this array, I've never reduced an array, as per mdadm man page you can do it using --grow and --array-size:
When decreasing the number of devices, the size of the array will also decrease. If there was data in the array, it could get destroyed and this is not reversible. To help prevent accidents, mdadm requires that the size of the array be decreased first with mdadm --grow --array-size. This is a reversible change which simply makes the end of the array inaccessible. The integrity of any data can then be checked before the non-reversible reduction in the number of devices is request.
Can you check your /etc/mdadm.conf file to see if it shows the extra device in the configuration.
Before looking into those options I would have a full backup just in case.
Well, turns out the motherboard failed. Performed a reboot at one point and it failed to POST. Thanks for your input, axelsallright.

The purpose of this study is to find ways to improve the appearance of tumours or markers that indicate the presence of tumours in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Although based on the same technology, there are many ways to obtain images using MRI. The type of image that will be produced by the scanner depends on the instructions sent to the machine. These instructions tell different components of the machine when to turn on and off and all together are called a pulse sequence. These pulse sequences can get quite lengthy and intricate and small changes in them can produce considerable changes in the resulting image. the aim of this protocol is to alter existing pulse sequences to improve image appearance. This protocol will involve only healthy volunteers.

BofA Cools on Junk Priciest to Stocks Since '93: Credit Markets
Junk bonds are losing their sheen after becoming about the most expensive relative to stocks in at least two decades, prompting firms from Bank of America Corp. (BAC) to Loomis Sayles & Co. to warn that gains on the debt may wane.
Speculative-grade bonds in the U.S. have underperformed investment-grade notes for the longest stretch since November. The securities yield 0.14 percentage point less than a similar measure for the Standard & Poor's 500 index of stocks, data compiled by Bloomberg show. As recently as last month the bonds yielded about half a percentage point more than equities.
Bond-fund managers that in May preferred putting their money in junk debt have shifted back to favoring the safest corporate notes, Bank of America strategists said in a July 23 report. With prices 8 percent higher than the historical average, the bonds are losing value this week as Europe's debt crisis deepens and U.S. consumer confidence reaches the lowest level in two months.
"If you invest in it at these levels, you have to go in with eyes wide open," said Matthew Eagan, a Boston-based manager of the Loomis Sayles Absolute Strategies fund, which has outperformed 94 percent of its peers this year. "Your maximum upside is limited to basically earning your coupon. Your downside is, what if there's a major risk-off trade?"
Junk Gains
Speculative-grade bonds gained 105 percent since the end of 2008 through July 20, Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data show. That compares with a 58 percent return for the S&P 500. With an International Association of Credit Portfolio Managers survey showing investors the most pessimistic about the outlook for junk bonds since 2008, the debt is poised to underperform investment-grade debentures this year, Bank of America strategists are forecasting.
"In the next month or so, with what's happening in Europe, we'll see some volatility," said Adam Richmond, a high-yield bond strategist at Morgan Stanley. (MS) "If I were an investor, I'd be looking to add on weakness, but maybe not today."
Elsewhere in credit markets, the cost of protecting corporate debt from default in the U.S. declined for a third day, with the Markit CDX North America Investment Grade Index, which investors use to hedge against losses or to speculate on creditworthiness, decreasing 3.1 basis points to a mid-price of 108.2 basis points as of 12:02 p.m. in New York, according to prices compiled by Bloomberg.
Rate Swaps
The measure typically falls as investor confidence improves and rises as it deteriorates. Credit-default swaps pay the buyer face value if a borrower fails to meet its obligations, less the value of the defaulted debt. A basis point equals $1,000 annually on a contract protecting $10 million of debt.
The U.S. two-year interest-rate swap spread, a measure of bond market stress, decreased 0.07 basis point to 21.18 basis points as of 11:58 a.m. in New York. The gauge narrows when investors favor assets such as corporate bonds and widens when they seek the perceived safety of government securities.
Bonds of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. are the most actively traded dollar-denominated corporate securities by dealers today, with 124 trades of $1 million or more as of 12:03 p.m. in New York, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The biopharmaceutical producer sold $2 billion of bonds yesterday.
Junk Inflows
Investors have put $41.6 billion into junk-bond funds in 2012 as the Fed holds its benchmark interest rate near zero for a fourth year and yields on 10-year U.S. Treasuries plummeted to a record low 1.38 percent on July 25. Fund inflows are up from $13.94 billion in the same period last year and a net $8.3 billion for all of 2011, according to EPFR Global data.
Helping to lure investors, the global speculative-grade corporate default rate of 2.7 percent at the end of the second quarter was almost half the historical average of 4.8 percent since 1983, according to Moody's.
Demand for the debt has pushed yields on dollar-denominated speculative-grade notes to 7.7 percent, within half a percentage point of the record-low level reached in May 2011, Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data show.
"There's a lot of risk out there that's not reflected in current pricing" of high-yield bonds, said Bonnie Baha, head of global developed credit at Los Angeles-based DoubleLine Capital LP, which oversees $40 billion. "How much juice can you squeeze out of a lemon? It's pretty toppy here."
Negative Outlook
The credit portfolio managers group's gauge of investor sentiment in the junk-bond market dropped to negative 26.8 at the end of the second quarter, the lowest since September 2008, the association said this week. The survey of 84 financial institutions from Deutsche Bank AG to Barclays Plc, gauges sentiment about corporate credit, with negative levels indicating the expectation of deterioration of conditions.
The yield-to-worst on the debt, a measure that takes into account the risk that bonds will be redeemed early, was 7.1 percent on July 24, Barclays data show. That compares with a 7.37 percent so-called earnings yield for the S&P 500 (SPX), which represents company earnings divided by the price of the index.
The ratio between the two measures, which is higher when the debt is viewed as more expensive, turned positive for the first time in February, according to the data.
'Lurking' Risks
"Most people like myself would look at the high-yield market and not give it a resounding endorsement for people to invest in right now," Loomis Sayles's Eagan said in a telephone interview. "I do think it could play a strategic role in a portfolio to build yield in a low-yield world. Just recognize there are exogenous risk factors lurking out there right now that could result in a bumpy ride from time to time."
Consumer confidence in the U.S. fell last week to the lowest level in two months as Americans became more concerned employment growth will remain sluggish. The Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index fell to minus 38.5 in the week ended July 22 from minus 37.9 in the previous period.
The IMF projects the euro-area economy will expand 0.7 percent in 2013, with economies in Italy and Spain contracting for a second consecutive year. That compares with an expected growth rate of 2.3 percent in the U.S. next year.
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said yesterday that policy makers will do whatever is needed to preserve the euro, suggesting they may intervene in bond markets as surging yields in Spain and Italy threaten the existence of the 17- nation currency bloc.
'Better Entry'
"The macro data has deteriorated, we do think the second half will be volatile," said Morgan Stanley's Richmond, who thinks speculative-grade debt is attractive as a medium-term investment. "You'll probably find better entry points than today," he said.
Junk bonds are returning less than the highest-rated corporate notes for the fourth straight week, the longest stretch since the period ended Nov. 27, Bloomberg data show. Investment-grade bonds in the U.S., which are lagging half a percentage point behind junk bonds for the year, will post superior returns in 2012, according to a July 9 Bank of America forecast.
The Charlotte, North Carolina-based firm is still overweight credit, including speculative-grade notes.
"You can think about investing in the stock market, but as the economy has slowed down so much it's hard to see how the stock market can generate the returns that investors are looking for," said Hans Mikkelsen, a credit strategist at Bank of America in New York, in a telephone interview.

Lebanese pop queen, Nawal al Zoghbi [2], was the latest in a list of stars to appear on TV host, Razan Moghrabi's, new show 'Voice of Life' this week. Nawal is a woman of many talents, with a series of hit singles behind her, as well as being the proud owner of an eviable wardrobe collection.
But Razan, who is still trying to make a comeback from her sleazy home video scandal [3], chose to compliment her guest of something a little out of the ordinary. The TV presenter said Razan's new music video clip for her song, 'Crushed Earth' was "wonderful".
The only problem was - Razan's record label hadn't yet released the video to the public or anywhere else! Social media sites were flooded with comments about Nawal's ignorance. But the question remains: if the host hadn't even seen the clip, how did she know it was "wonderful" in the first place?

Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning takes the field tonight to start a season in which he'll continue his march toward owning all of the major career passing records.
Most significant of the many accomplishments Manning can achieve this season is surpassing Dan Marino for second place on the all-time passing yardage list. Manning has 59,487 career passing yards, so if he passes for 1,875 yards this year, he'll pass Dan Marino (61,361 yards) for second all-time, behind only Brett Favre.
Manning has topped 4,000 passing yards in all but two of his pro seasons. He already owns the record for most 4,000-yard passing seasons with 12, and he can add to that record if he gets his 13th 4,000-yard season this year.
If Manning throws 566 passes this season, he'll also surpass Marino in pass attempts. Marino is second behind Favre with 8,358 passes thrown in his career.

Two Cleveland residents, a man and a woman, have been arrested by Portage County sheriff's deputies in connection with three residential burglaries in Northern Portage County in the past week, allegedly committed to feed their heroin habits.
The male suspect also allegedly assaulted two sheriff's detectives who went to arrest him at his mother's home in Geauga County and may face additional charges, according to the sheriff's office.
Portage County Sheriff David Doak said Brian C. Cieszykowski, 30, and Angie M. Wyatt, with a last known address on Wanda Avenue in Cleveland, are suspects in two daytime burglaries in the 5000 block of Winchell Road on Feb. 5 and a third on Winchell Road in Hiram Township on Thursday.
No residents were home at the time of the first two burglaries, but detectives received information on a suspicious vehicle and two suspects seen in the area at the time, Doak said.
Just before 3 p.m. on Thursday, sheriff's deputy Matthew Tramba saw a vehicle in the 4900 block of Winchell Road with Wyatt and Cieszykowski inside that matched the description of the suspect vehicle in the burglaries and performed a traffic stop. Wyatt was arrested on an outstanding arrest warrant for a probation violation in Geauga County. Cieszykowski was interviewed and released, Doak said.
After a third burglary was reported in the 6000 block of Winchell Road in Hiram Township that day, deputies determined that both suspects were involved in the three burglaries and an arrest warrant was sworn out for Cieszykowski, Doak said.
Sheriff's detectives Trent Springer and Jim Acklin found Cieszykowski at his mother's residence in Troy Township in Geauga County on Friday night, according to Lt. Greg Johnson, chief of detectives at the sheriff's office. While attempting to arrest him, Cieszykowski allegedly resisted arrest and assaulted Springer and Acklin before they were able to take him into custody.
Springer received five stitches to close a cut on his hand at Geauga County Hospital and was released, Johnson said, while Acklin did not require medical treatment. Both were back to work on Monday, he said.
Cieszykowski will be charged with assault on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest by Geauga County authorities, according to Doak.
Wyatt is charged with one count of complicity to burglary, a second-degree felony, for the incident in Hiram Township. She and Cieszykowski are being held in the Portage County jail on 10 percent of $35,000 bond pending future court dates following their arraignments Monday in Portage County Municipal Court in Ravenna. Conditions of their bond are no contact with each other or the alleged victims in the case, according to court records. Johnson said the duo committed the crimes to feed their heroin addictions.
Additional charges are pending the presentation of the case to a Portage County grand jury.

Wayne Brady Freestyles [Video]
Wayne is probably one of the most gifted entertainers in probably over 50 years.
The first time Wayne Brady step on the scene he was one of the stars on " Whose Line is it Anyway".
He quickly became known as the king of improv, which is basically freestyling.Fast forward to 2013 after his infamous skit with Dave Chappelle and he is now a national celebrity as well as a very accomplished and witty comedian.
While Brady was on the 'Sway Morning Show' Sway had him freestyling about different topics and events that are currently going on in the country.
I was kind of shocked of his freestyling ability, and it is better than a lot of rappers that are out now.
